Re: Mariah's most inspiring song (80,661) (80,665) by RibbonB from USA Yes, I love that live performance on Letterman from 93 or 94. Both Mariah and the choir gave an inspired performance. It's like by the end if the song she commands everything to be alright. (Friday 26 January 2018; 23:18)

Why is behavior still allowed here? (80,664) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) To be honest we all have expressed some kind of disappointment with Mariah throughout the years. But this a place where everyone comes to discuss Mariah whether it be our like or dislikes. But when messages become disrespectful and sometimes with a racist tone that is a major problem. I personally don’t mind different stories and opinions regarding MC but it does become uncomfortable when people come here just to cause an uproar with nasty, rude, disrespectful and at times racist comments that is not cool and should never be allowed here no matter who the offender or offenders are.

Mariah's most inspiring song (80,663) by Randy from USA I gotta say, I've never been a fan of Hero. Even in 94. But I do love the mashup with Never Too Far especially her Home for the Holidays live performance in the red dress. I've always loved Anytime You Need a Friend. However, Mariah's Theme was my favorite until Through The Rain. And I can't believe it doesn't get more love in this particular discussion. Unfortunately, she's never performed it 100% live without a wall of background singers. Which really pisses me off because there is not one background singer on the song. In addition, she's abandoned it. But I can't tell y'all how many mornings on the way to work the line "shadows grow close" reminds me how dark our eternal optimist can be even in the middle of a hopeful moment. That song means a lot to me personally. I probably play it three times a week. (Friday 26 January 2018; 22:38)

Re: Mariah's most inspiring song (80,660) (80,662) by Lila from United States We are here on that. I've never met anyone else that finds Anytime You Need A Friend as inspiring as I do. It's definitely my runner up to FLAB. I also love love love My Saving Grace. (Friday 26 January 2018; 22:06)

Re: Mariah's most inspiring song (80,660) (80,661) by Bill from the UK AYNAF is a beautiful song. The "don't you ever be lonely" on the second chorus is, for some reason, the best line she's ever delivered. It gets me every time. (Friday 26 January 2018; 21:43)

Re: Mariah's most inspiring song (80,655) (80,660) by RibbonB from USA FLAB is iconic, Mimi must have been inspired when she wrote it. Anytime You Need a Friend is a favorite and most inspiring Mimi song of all time. (Friday 26 January 2018; 20:06)

Mariah’s most inspiring song (80,659) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) The songs of Mariah that give me inspiration and Make it Happen, and Fly like a Bird. (Friday 26 January 2018; 19:23)

Mariah's Theme (80,658) by Edward from USA When CTTA came out, I loved it. The message was empowering and the delivery while not close to that of Hero, was more emotional because it was personal to her. That was back when I felt butterflies in my stomach every time Mariah's music was about to be released. Since there wasn't social media of the Internet as we know it, I got very bad quality midi's of the song, the anticipation building up to its release. Even though she tried hard, the song didn't resonate with the rest of the world just like Hero did. The video is cheesy, and once again Mariah looking pretty. Once the high of the Rainbow album was gone, it's one of those songs that I rarely listen to anymore. (Friday 26 January 2018; 18:23)

Re: Why is this behavior still allowed here? (80,654) (80,657) by Edward from USA Oh no, you did not. You'd better hide now. Eric, keep the messageboard as it is. It's been 20 years and still going for a reason. Mariah Daily Journal's messageboard never worked because it was lambs holding hands, counting unicorns and praying from the Book of Lambs. The variety of posters and opinions on this board creates a balance that has worked for years now, why change it? I, for instance, had a disagreement with Andrew, but I said what I had to say, and moved on. Do I hate him or want him gone from the board? No, I don't. Yes, some people would be happier if he just said: "I don't like CTTA" and its "video", but how boring would that be? And if that day should come, you should ban him, lol. When Mariah was mentioned in the past, the first thing that came to mind was music, great music, but now since we've regurgitated our views on her great body of work so many times, we have don't much to talk about anymore. We're left with pictues, looks, boobs, boyfriends, rings and other personal stuff non-related to her music. Why is it that just like Justin Bieber did by offering himself for the remix to "Despacito", Mariah, who has a great ear for a hit, doesn't do the same on a regular basis. If the muse or passion is not there anymore, at least she should keep herself in the spotlight upgrading other people's projects. Beyonce had an easy #1 with Ed Sheeran, there goes one of my dream collaborations. (Friday 26 January 2018; 18:12)

Re: Why is this behavior still allowed here? (80,654) (80,656) by G.G. from USA Criticism is one thing and doesn't bother most people. Daily negativity towards MC and her fans is another. There's a huge difference. (Friday 26 January 2018; 17:41)

Re: Mariah's most inspiring song (80,632) (80,655) by Lila from United States I agree with that. I think it always changes depending on what you're going through and what type of encouragement you're needing at the moment. However, from a general standpoint Fly Like A Bird always does it for me. (Friday 26 January 2018; 17:07)

Re: Why is this behavior still allowed here? (80,652) (80,654) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands I remember we had this discussion 15 years ago, when some fans only wanted positive news. Well, not everything Mariah does is loved by her fans, so if Andrew doesn't like a song or video, he has the right to say so. Even if his words are rude, but Andrew loves to curse. And we all know that Andrew is always negative, so that shouldn't surprise you. If you only want positive news and positive messages, you should visit Mariah Daily Journal.

Re: Couldn't Give That Away (80,647) (80,653) by Tijl from Belgium I do not belittle the fact that what happened with Titanic was tragic. I merely mock the song and the movie, which both were incredibly cheesy. The fact that James Cameron exploited this drama for profit is much more insulting than my quote. However, if I have insulted anybody involved or related to Titanic, Céline Dion, James Cameron, Leo or Kate or any of the fish in those waters on the very night, I am truly sorry. (Friday 26 January 2018; 15:58)

Why is this behavior still allowed here? (80,652) by G.G. from USA Webmaster, why are constant negative messages against Mariah and her fans still allowed? Didn't we just have this discussion a month or so ago? (Friday 26 January 2018; 15:55)

Re: Couldn't Give That Away (80,636) (80,651) by G.G. from USA Negative, degrading, and bitter, as per usual. Lonely, sad, soul. (Friday 26 January 2018; 15:53)

Re: First post (80,646) (80,650) by Manuel from Germany Hey Billy. Thank you for your message. I am happy to hear that. There are so many polarities in the lambily so I feel it is important to express a more "holistic" view, because MC isn't just like this or like that, she's many things, as are we all. (Friday 26 January 2018; 15:41)

Re: First post (80,642) (80,649) by Manuel from Germany Hey Victor. Nice to meet you. Great middle name. Yes, I wrote from the heart and I am glad it shows because so many people are so caught up in their thoughts and head and have so many projections on other people and we are all connected by this, how we think of, regard, and thus treat other people and by consequence ourselves. We are all the same. And I think that in Mariah's case instead of criticizing everything she does, says, posts, and sings, we could instead choose to accept that whatever she shares with the world is what she wants to share, and if we don't like it, we have the right to not like it, but our not liking it doesn't mean that she should do differently. I observe in some lambs that they see Mariah as owing them something and I ask myself what? At this point, she owes nobody anything, and I think nobody ever owes anything to anybody (but let me stop there before I get too philosophical). Do I like everything she does? No. But do I need to take it personally? No. I think it is all a matter of perception, and I think that if you choose to perceive someone as owing you something, nothing they give will ever be good enough, because you are measuring that person by your own standards which might have nothing to do with how a person (in this case Mariah) chooses to express herself. However, if you choose to perceive her as one who does what she wants at this point, you are free to enjoy what you like from it and can let the rest be. Wouldn't that be nice?

Re: Endless Love (80,631) (80,648) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Thank you Edward. What a lovely message to read. (Friday 26 January 2018; 14:37)

Re: Couldn't Give That Away (80,644) (80,647) by Bill from the UK Please don't belittle the fact that so many people lost their lives in one of the most catastrophic events on the sea. Look beyond Leonardo DiCaprio and Hollywood and understand that this was a tragic, terrifying end for many people. For all you know, someone reading your note or responding to it may have had an ancestor lose their life that night, so for many there is a reason why that song resonates. (Friday 26 January 2018; 13:25)

Re: First post (80,626) (80,646) by Billy from Greece Great post, Manuel. I totally identify with everything you said. (Friday 26 January 2018; 11:05)

Re: Mariah's most inspiring song (80,620) (80,645) by Terna from Nigeria For me that would be "Through The Rain" because that song was written in the moment, when she had hit rock bottom so to speak. It's a powerful song and most people don't even realise one of her numerous signature songs. On a personal level, it pulled me through dark times and I still spin it ever so often today and I feel Mariah's own life today is testament to the message of that song. The dark clouds have passed, she indeed has made it through the rain. (Friday 26 January 2018; 10:20)

Re: Couldn't Give That Away (80,636) (80,644) by Tijl from Belgium It is a matter of finding whatever you need within the lyrics and how they resonate to your personal situation. Millions of people around the world cried their eyes out because Céline lamented about a sinking ship. Talk about schmaltz. I do agree however that both videos for CTTA were not very good. (Friday 26 January 2018; 06:57)

Re: Couldn't Give That Away (80,636) (80,643) by Victor from Costa Rica Andrew, you need God in your life. Stop being bitter, you are a true hater. (Friday 26 January 2018; 02:35)

Re: First post (80,626) (80,642) by Victor from Costa Rica Hi Manuel. Wellcome on board. I appreciate your comments because you spoke with your heart. Nice to read fresh perspectives from Lambs around the world. Note: Manuel is my middle name. (Friday 26 January 2018; 02:29)

Re: Mariah's most inspiring song (80,620) (80,641) by Victor from Costa Rica It would be Can't Take That Away and The Art Of Letting Go. (Friday 26 January 2018; 02:21)
