Re: Article: Mariah lovingly holds hands with toyboy Bryan Tanaka (77,946) (77,948) by SM from Citizen of the World Have you seen the videos with him on stage with her for all the hits tour? He looks ridiculous and so silly doing the things he's doing. I just have to block him out and Stella. (Thursday 17 August 2017; 20:01)

Re: On Butterfly's 20th (77,938) (77,947) by Anonymous from Randy, I just got goosebumps. (Thursday 17 August 2017; 17:27)

Article: Mariah lovingly holds hands with toyboy Bryan Tanaka (77,946) by Butterfly from She can't get any lower. And the reason why Bryan is the only dancer on tour is because otherwise he has no income. She's so dumb and ridiculous with her toy boy. (Thursday 17 August 2017; 16:09)

Randy (77,945) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) What a great write up on Butterfly. I could have done it any better. Bravo. (Thursday 17 August 2017; 14:24)

Re: On Butterfly's 20th (77,938) (77,944) by Chicago Lamb from USA Bravo, I love your post. I'm with you all the way. (Thursday 17 August 2017; 13:46)

Philadelphia show and vocals (77,943) by Sheila from United States From overhearing the ladies in the bathroom complaining about Mariah's lack of voice (prior to the show), to the 60 year olds sitting in front of me saying Mariah is now an opening act, everyone was shocked to see Mariah is a great voice and even showcasing a few new runs at the end of Vision of Love. Lambs were everywhere, taking photos, chatting, and in control of the first 3 rows. She cut out Emotions again, but that's ok Foxwoods is coming soon. (Thursday 17 August 2017; 12:46)

Re: Anthony Burrell / Complex article (77,935) (77,942) by Lila from United States So, basically, our only option is to continue riding out this wave of embarrassing antics and stupid choices. (Thursday 17 August 2017; 12:37)

Re: On Butterfly's 20th (77,938) (77,941) by MusicfanJ from Germany Randy what a great post. I enjoyed reading every word of it. You're right, that's one reason I can't leave Mariah alone too. There will never be another Butterfly. What she did in 97 was pure genius and it still sounds like a record that could easily be released today. I love her combination of "classic" Mariah with rnb. I even love the hip-hop collaborations. I only started to listen to hip-hop because of Mariah. She really created a masterpiece and with every song she shared a bit of her soul with us. Thanks for reminding me of the greatness of this album. I'll play tonight and just enjoy the one and only Mariah. Lambily forever. (Thursday 17 August 2017; 12:31)

Re: On Butterfly's 20th (77,938) (77,940) by Lee from UK That was a beautiful post and if I were not already a fan of the Butterfly album, you just sold it. Well done. (Thursday 17 August 2017; 12:28)

Re: Help is close by (77,937) (77,939) by MusicfanJ from Germany That's true, help can be often near if you're open to it. I had to laugh so hard because of the minions. Now I have this picture on my mind. Mariah and the minions. Haha. (Thursday 17 August 2017; 12:17)

On Butterfly's 20th (77,938) by Randy from USA I cannot let today go by without commenting on the experience that is Butterfly. We comment on Mariah's over the top antics of late, but who collaborates with P-Diddy, Q-Tip, Mase, Stevie J, Eddie Griffin and The Lox on the opening single and video. That's not even to speak of Jermaine Dupri and Da Brat on the remix of Honey. Who uses three and four syllable words on a pop ballad? Check out the lyrical complexity to Butterfly and My All and one will realize that Mariah Carey is not just a belting, whistle register phenomenon. She is a songwriter, a poet and on The Roof, which surprisingly features Mobb Deep, and Fourth of July she becomes a storyteller. On Breakdown she becomes a mad genius matching the tongue tying quickness of Bone Thugs in Harmony. Who else but MC? And who else but MC would be so determined to work with Missy Elliot that she wakes Missy Elliot up from a hangover to co-create Babyfoll with Champagne? Then we get to Close My Eyes. What sets MC apart from her contemporaries Celine and Whitney is that she writes but not only does she writes, she sings beyond love and inspiration. She sings about alienation and her childhood. Whenever You Call is classic MC balladry; nothing to see here but soaring vocals and emotional outpouring. Then a house interlude? On an album of pop ballads, hip hop and r&b? Fly Away doesn't feel out of place. Then the definition of audacious is track 11. A Prince remake, with Dru Hill that is 7 minutes long and is a roller coaster that feels like sex. There's foreplay, there's climax and after glow. And she ends the whole damn experience with a gospel chord soul tempo'd track with a poetic lyric called Outside. She's neither here nor there but somewhat out of place everywhere. That's what happens when you are a lyrical genius, biracial, stunning beauty, vocal powerhouse of a complex pop superstar. Listen I could go on and on but there will never be an album of this type of melting pot, beauty and intense delicate magnitude ever in existence. And Butterfly is the reason that despite the breasts, Stella, Bryan Tanaka and razor to your ears live vocals I can't leave Mariah Carey alone. (Thursday 17 August 2017; 03:53)

Help is close by (77,937) by THE TRUTH from USA Why is Mariah at 48 having so many issues with her weight? Surely her brother who is 10 years older than she could help whip her into shape far better than Stella and her minions are doing. Sometimes you have to go back to the beginning rather than struggling to reinvent something which wasn't broken in the first place. (Thursday 17 August 2017; 02:32)

Thank you webmaster (77,936) by Betty from Canada I just want to say that I really enjoy all your hard work in running this fan site everyday. Please update the "this day in history" for me, thanks a lot. (Thursday 17 August 2017; 02:00)

Re: Anthony Burrell / Complex article (77,930) (77,935) by RibbonB from USA Lol maybe he will want to take another real dancing job elsewhere. Or she will find her "A Rod" to fill the role. Her pickings are slim these days. Remember all that "two alphas" crap when JP was around, that didn't last long. She went from so called alpha to lap dog. But whatever, she seems to set the stage for her continued "victimhood". (Thursday 17 August 2017; 01:27)

Re: Roc and Roe (77,922) (77,934) by Hilton from USA Andrew, I do agree with you. (Wednesday 16 August 2017; 23:30)

Re: ABMB with demkids (77,924) (77,933) by Hilton from USA From my standpoint I am giving Mariah the benefit of other folks doubts. I don't know for sure, obviously, none of us do, we can only judge by what we see. You and I both know that I nor you or anyone else has solid proof, so it's all assumption, even from my standpoint. I think, feel, and believe that she will always do right by Dem Kids. Every parent can look back, including ours, and say what they wish they could've or would've done differently but I really feel like she has that area on lock. When it comes to other people's parenting skills and what they choose to do with their children I really do think we should tread lightly, which I think we have for the most part. Lambily forever and we only want what's best for her and Dem Kids. (Wednesday 16 August 2017; 17:50)

Re: Jessie Ware - Midnight (77,929) (77,932) by MusicfanJ from Germany I like Jessie Ware. She's special, a true musician, not like the famous wannabes. When I saw a concert of her on TV, I had to buy "Devotion". Such a great album. I'm sure the other ones are good as well. And I do need new MC music (not only a Christmas song) too. (Wednesday 16 August 2017; 15:08)

Re: Article: Christian singer aims to "invade" tour with God's love (77,923) (77,931) by Todd from Melbourne, Australia Amen, Sista. Actually I thought exactly the same thing. Enough of that crap is going on in the world without being forced to endure it on an arena scale. (Wednesday 16 August 2017; 14:30)

Re: Anthony Burrell / Complex article (77,928) (77,930) by Lila from United States Of all the things she could get tired of, paying others ways doesn't seem to be one of Mariah's. For Hire is certainly not going to get tired of playing the role. It's not as if he has anything going for him or Mariah can actually buy him a career. Same goes for the rest. It's going to be a long and embarrassing while. (Wednesday 16 August 2017; 13:11)

Jessie Ware - Midnight (77,929) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Unfortunately there really are acts that are immensely talented but still somehow remain undeservedly and inexplicably low-profile. Jessie Ware is one of them. Her first 2 albums, Devotion and Tough Love, were equally fire. Her sophiticated sound is evident in her latest offering, Midnight. I love the Bennie and the Jets-esque chorus. Please do give it a listen. You won't be disappointed. (Actual translation of this message: Everybody seems to be coming up with new material and I want me some new Mariah jams stat. It's been over 3 years since MIAMTEC, dammit.) (Wednesday 16 August 2017; 12:18)

Re: Anthony Burrell / Complex article (77,870) (77,928) by RibbonB from USA She is not using common sense. It's all about the step down, pay a dancer type of L. Like jlo and many others have done. Maybe it feels easier that way, than dealing with a real relationship where they may have to compromise. This way they pay for it to be all about them, until they get tired of paying, or the dude gets tired of the role. (Wednesday 16 August 2017; 02:55)

Re: Mariah forehead (77,921) (77,927) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter That usually happens when she is wearing a poorly fixed wig. (Wednesday 16 August 2017; 01:29)

Re: Mariah forehead (77,921) (77,926) by SM from Citizen of the World Maybe because Danielle Priano is no longer styling her hair so it looks more obvious lol. But now that I look at older pictures it does look more round now. (Wednesday 16 August 2017; 01:21)

Re: Roc and Roe (77,922) (77,925) by TJ from Norway Bobby Kristina Brown, Chet Hanks, Weston Cage, Indio Downey and so on. I don't think growing up as a kid of a famous person is easy, and it's not going to be easier if they are exposed for the media and life style. I remember when Bobby Kristina sang with her mother on stage as well. Didn't like it at all. I guess many thought it was cute, but kids are not supposed to make that experience. I'm not saying the twins will end up as her or the others above, but there's a really thin line between what's ok and not. (Tuesday 15 August 2017; 22:37)

Re: ABMB with demkids (77,920) (77,924) by TJ from Norway Really? On what basis can you say that? (Tuesday 15 August 2017; 21:57)
