Flashback interview (79,739) by MusicfanJ from Germany I just wanted to share this old but gold interview with you. It was before her career took off. Back at the day where she hoped for "some success". I love her speaking voice so much. At the end she said: Thank you darlings. Now we have 2017 and wish her the best. It's good to see her happy again. (Friday 8 December 2017; 19:39)

Re: Lil Snowman video (79,734) (79,738) by Jared from USA Yes, they should've used footage from the movie. Anyways, just want to say hi to all the lambs in the land and wish you all a Merry Christmas. I was able to watch Mariah at the Beacon on December 2, and she was lovely and sounded good. I'm so excited now that you-know-who is out of the picture and she is under new management. Things are looking up. (Friday 8 December 2017; 19:39)

Re: Lil Snowman video (79,734) (79,737) by enwar00 from usa I thought the exact same thing when I watched it. Seems like an odd choice. Especially since the characters in the video even seem to be inspired by the movie that was based on the book that was inspired by the song. That movie and little Mariah in it are so cute.

Another Vevo certification (79,736) by Terna from Nigeria And this time it's for my favorite song from "Memoirs" and in my opinion, her version the best cover - "I Want to Know What Love is". This is so cool, This is a special Christmas for Mariah Carey. (Friday 8 December 2017; 16:34)

Re: Best Christmas present ever (79,716) (79,735) by Terna from Nigeria I'm Loving every minute of it. When is the line drawn at some point that gremlin needs to be gone. (Friday 8 December 2017; 16:26)

Re: Lil Snowman video (79,726) (79,734) by Chicago Lamb from USA I think they should have used footage from the movie for the 'Lil Snowman video. It would have served both the song and the movie, and even the book much better. (Friday 8 December 2017; 15:47)

Re: Ban him, so we can enjoy this site (79,733) by Sheila from United States We spend so much time defending Mariah against "him" that it takes away from doing anything positive for Mariah. (Friday 8 December 2017; 15:00)

Re: Still with the race thing? Really? (79,730) (79,732) by Mara from United States I love this post. (Friday 8 December 2017; 15:00)

Re: Why are weapons formed against us prospering? (79,727) (79,731) by G.G. from USA Well said. (Friday 8 December 2017; 13:58)

Still with the race thing? Really? (79,730) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Exactly. This is exactly how the song Outside came to be. Mariah grew up and old never really knowing where to fit in at all. She can never be too white, and yet she cannot fully identify as black. She just can't win. It's hard to be feel great and take full ownership of your ethnicity when you are not allowed by society to be too much of one and/or the other. And while we do love criticizing Mariah for both rational and irrational reasons, there is a line - and please, for the love of humanity let the issue of race should be that line. This was something she was born with and into, and I cannot believe that we still have to explain these matters in [censored] 2017. Unbelievable. These days, this issue comes up and it's like, "By the way, the 1950s called - they want their bigotry back." (Friday 8 December 2017; 13:01)

Re: Undeniable receipts (79,717) (79,729) by MusicfanJ from Germany I always loved the fact that Mariah is multi-racial. This beautiful woman has the best from "both sides". For me she was always a soul-rnb singer and when she came out, wasn't there this article which said: Another white girl trying to sing black? That's so dumb. I mean I can imagine it was never easy to please everybody especially the music biz people at the beginning of her career. I think everyone is sometimes pigeonholed from others but at the end those people doesn't count. I love Mariah for who she is and it's phenomenal that she sounds so good in every music genre.

Re: Why are weapons formed against us prospering? (79,727) (79,728) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands I still think that Andrew is a fan, somewhere deep in his heart. I also think he is rude and that is why I censor many of his messages or don't post them at all. But I hope that one day he will see that he can't get away with everything he writes and that will only happen when we all point out what he does is wrong. And that won't happen if I simply delete his messages of ban him completely. I think he gets the message, because Andrew hasn't posted anything since his last hurtful message. I see that many of you want me to follow my own rules more strictly, so from now on I promise I will do that. (Friday 8 December 2017; 10:37)

Why are weapons formed against us prospering? (79,727) by Marissa from USA "Messages that are insulting (to Mariah, other artists or members of this messageboard) will not be posted." Has this rule ever been enforced regarding the problematic person who shall not be named? He should have been banned years ago. I've seen people confronted more harshly about grammar mistakes than his racist remarks. Just because he isn't calling people the n-word (or maybe that was censored) does not mean that he isn't racist. Racists usually use insidious and covert methods to show their views, but dodge accountability by pulling the "I didn't tell you to go back to Africa so I can't possibly be racist" card. There are many ways to show that you can't stand a group of people without actually saying it and he's shown them all. Ultimately, this isn't even about his opinion. If the rule was being enforced, I wouldn't even be burdened with knowing what his opinion is. That's the point. The fact that you have the power to end all of this and haven't makes me wonder if you agree with him and that's what's hurtful. I can visit this board and someone can be blatantly cruel to my, Mariah, Mariah's children and fans' race and get away with it with no or little protection from the person who can stop it all. Granted, I don't know how many messages he's written that haven't been posted (if any), but I know the ones that have seen the light of day are terrible. The basics that we all deserve is to have our (and Mariah's) identities off limits (race, religion, etc) from being insulted. This board doesn't have to be inhumane to be interesting. His cruelty campaign is actually one of the most predictable and boring things here. If you have no plans of banning him or blocking his messages, can you at least share why you keep him around after hundreds of complaints for years? It's like Mariah keeping Stella around at this point. (Friday 8 December 2017; 10:15)

Lil Snowman video (79,726) by Licia from USA The video was cute. I'm still not feeling the song, but I'm sure kids will get a kick out of it. (Friday 8 December 2017; 09:20)

Article: Mariah Carey steps out in Paris (79,725) by Lee from UK Wow, the Daily Fail strikes again. There are just a couple of inaccuracies in this article. Great reporting. (Friday 8 December 2017; 09:14)

Lil Snowman video (79,724) by darrian liu from taiwan It's a cute video, fun, short and sweet. Although it's a cute song, since its release I've never really been able to get into the song, mainly because of the vocals. Imo it's pretty much the worst vocal performance in studio that Mariah has ever released. Her voice was just so tense and tight and sounds slightly nasal all throughout. It was obvious that she wasn't in a good condition vocally when she recorded it. Luckily now her voice is in a much better place. (Friday 8 December 2017; 09:10)

Will the real MC please stand up (79,723) by enwar00 from usa It seems drastically sudden how Mariah went back to her old self, and as others have described, seems happy, relaxed, healthier, more coherent, friendlier, looking better and in better voice. As if the spell really has been broken. It's nice to witness and feel more positivity once again, on this board and outside of it. And all this as we approach the holiday season. AIWFCIY may truly hit the top 10. I guess this makes up for the Christmas show I was going to being cancelled. (Friday 8 December 2017; 04:49)

Re: Patti on Watch What Happens Live (79,699) (79,722) by enwar00 from usa I actually do love her more than I did before, but that wasn't hard considering I don't know much about her. I watched that 10 minute link someone else had posted and thought wow Patti has a cool personality. A few things were confirmed in that clip. Very awesome that she is a genuine friend slash godmother to MC. (Friday 8 December 2017; 04:02)

Re: Best Christmas present ever (79,716) (79,721) by enwar00 from usa Not really. As much as some things people say are annoying or ridiculous, it doesn't really make me happy and joyful when someone is being dissed or attacked. Just seems sad all around. (Friday 8 December 2017; 03:55)

Re: Best Christmas present ever (79,716) (79,720) by Susana from USA Case in point, your post now has 18 likes as of right now. (Friday 8 December 2017; 02:44)

Re: Best Christmas present ever (79,716) (79,719) by Hanno van Leeuwen from The Netherlands Yes. (Friday 8 December 2017; 01:31)

On the subject of wigs / Mariah's hair (79,718) by Anonymous from UK Off the top of my head, she's worn extensions here and there since the Honey video? But went full force with them during the CB era - her hair didn't grow two foot in a year - and we've rarely seen her natural hair length - and definitely not colour or texture - since then. Mariah and unnatural hair go together at this point so it shouldn't be a surprise. She started wearing wigs when Vegas began but regularly since SSFT and although I'd rather see her real hair, at this point I'm just grateful they're not a mess and behind her hairline like they were at one point last year. I had to Instagram Stella and tell her to sort it out. (Friday 8 December 2017; 00:20)

Undeniable receipts (79,717) by Marissa from USA Here's a passage from an interview Mariah did with The Guardian in 2009: "'I'm a black woman who is very light skinned.' As a child, she was self-conscious of her mixed race, and it is still enough of an issue, in the US and elsewhere, that Carey is routinely accused of 'trying too hard' in one racial direction or another." (Friday 8 December 2017; 00:02)

Best Christmas present ever (79,716) by Jamie from UK Is anyone else loving the fact that any post dissing that vile creature Andrew is getting a ton of likes? And he has the cheek to say Mariah’s got issues. I wish we all had the power to ban him from this site for good. (Thursday 7 December 2017; 22:20)

Re: Patti on Watch What Happens Live (79,699) (79,715) by Bill from the UK I agree, she was so gracious and supportive. Part of me feels really glad that Mariah had someone like Patti there for her during that period of her life. It's nice that she wasn't completely alone and that she had someone out there looking out for her, even if from a distance. (Thursday 7 December 2017; 21:24)
