Re: E=MC2 is highly underrated (76,745) (76,751) by May from Denmark Same. It's probably the album with the most upbeat songs, it's my go-to happy album. Really like it from start to end. Migrate is such a great opening song. (Thursday 29 June 2017; 04:33)

Re: The press conference (76,716) (76,750) by May from Denmark I truly think Mariah doesn't care. You can't possibly be invited somewhere and not try to find out who are the people you will be surrounded by. One can't possibly be that ignorant, not someone "of the world" who constantly travels and meets important people. Remember the time she performed for one of the Gaddaffi? You can't say she didn't know. You got to be Heidi Montag or someone truly stupid for real who lives under a rug to not know. Sometimes it happens we love someone so much we end up suffering from cognitive dissonance and don't want to admit certain realities and facts for fear of everything crumbling down. I sort of accepted the fact long ago that Mariah likes the cash, the luxury life and needs a mean to support it. We don't really know how much cash she blows everyday and what are her future prospects, let's remember even mega millionaires have lost it all, nothing is for granted. I find it weird that she signed to this cosmetic Israeli brand and not doing more things with MAC after the amazing success, unless she is getting a percentage of the sales or unless she is simply after having her face and name in yet another product but why. The champagne, the vodka, the perfumes, the jewelry, the tv products show, the cosmetics, the water, the list goes on and on and lots of the projects aren't even for the fans as part of merchandise. Maybe she is looking for fast income and is trying to find a venue that gives her this. Like the Katrashcan with their beauty lines or some other celebs who have done very good in the wine industry, maybe she wants to find that something that will help her settle financially in this phase of her life. She said she would never stop making music and I believe her, but I also believe that music will become just for her and not for the world anymore because truthfully it just won't sell like in the past and she seems to be focused on doing only the music she wants and likes. She might, if all winds blow in the right direction, have one more hit under her sleeve. I want to blame Stella and her clan of sponges for lots of things but many issues have existed before she even appeared in the main picture. Nothing makes sense to me anymore. Her music used to reflect her life and feelings, always doing an introspection with a song but now at days it feels forced, "I don't" felt forced but perhaps because the docu-Stel-lie portrayed Mariah as a flirter and cheater. All this messes including the late cancelled interviews in Israel (probably for good) are not painting a good image. Anyone else feels like Mariah should have been more grown as a person now that she is a mom but instead it feels like she regressed and wants to be 20 and having the party life she couldn't have? Could it all just simply be middle life crisis? I made this very long, that's what not being able to sleep does to you I guess. (Thursday 29 June 2017; 04:24)

Re: "Fourth of July" - unheard vocals (76,739) (76,749) by Stacey from USA Wow, just wow. I wish she would have sang these full voice vocals over the choruses instead of just the whisper. (Thursday 29 June 2017; 02:55)

Re: "Fourth of July" - unheard vocals (76,743) (76,748) by MusicfanJ from Germany Sounds so good and almost like a new song. The version on cd is beautiful and pure Mariah, but the unheard vocals are heavenly. I wish there was a cd with rare songs and unheard versions. I'll listen to the album version as well. Great song, I love the romantic MC. (Wednesday 28 June 2017; 22:05)

Re: Scans of magazines - help (76,744) (76,747) by Bill from the UK Have you tried Mariah Network? They have loads of magazine scans and articles on their website. (Wednesday 28 June 2017; 20:27)

Re: "Fourth of July" - unheard vocals (76,741) (76,746) by B from USA (Wednesday 28 June 2017; 20:16)

Re: E=MC2 is highly underrated (76,736) (76,745) by Jamie from UK It's one of my favourite albums. (Wednesday 28 June 2017; 19:51)

Scans of magazines - help (76,744) by Billy from Greece Does anyone have scans from Mariah's 2005 cover stories from America magazine and Essence? I can't find them on we.archive.org. (Wednesday 28 June 2017; 18:09)

Re: "Fourth of July" - unheard vocals (76,739) (76,743) by Bill from the UK Wow, thanks for sharing. Sounds like it could be the demo of the song maybe. Great stuff. (Wednesday 28 June 2017; 17:54)

Help - interview info (76,742) by Billy from Greece Does anyone know if the full interview Mariah did with John Norris in 2006 prior to the Adventures of Mimi on MTV's LOGO is still available online? There is a small excerpt on YouTube but I'm looking for more clips. Alternatively, where could I find some more "technical" info on the interview (e.g. date that aired, etc)? Thanks. (Wednesday 28 June 2017; 17:36)

Re: "Fourth of July" - unheard vocals (76,739) (76,741) by Chicago Lamb from USA Giving us an AYNAF Soul Convention Remix vibe, love it. (Wednesday 28 June 2017; 16:43)

Re: "Fourth of July" - unheard vocals (76,739) (76,740) by Licia from USA I have only listened to Fourth of July maybe twice. Now I need to go and revisit the song. I love when y'all make me go and give certain songs another shot. It's like getting brand new music. Thanks for sharing. (Wednesday 28 June 2017; 16:41)

"Fourth of July" - unheard vocals (76,739) by Billy from Greece I just died and went to heaven. (Wednesday 28 June 2017; 16:34)

Re: It's not to stay relevent (76,733) (76,738) by T from USA She had one of the best industry managers going for touring in 2012 briefly with Irving Azoff. He is the head of Live Nation and has been in the music business forever. That was her chance at the age of 42 to start her touring career properly. I have no idea why she dropped him. (Wednesday 28 June 2017; 14:42)

Re: E=MC2 is highly underrated (76,736) (76,737) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter E=MC2 could have been in the same legendary status as TEOM, if not a bigger hit, had it been promoted right. (Wednesday 28 June 2017; 14:24)

E=MC2 is highly underrated (76,736) by Sheila from United States I agree with these [sic] post, I think the cd could have had so many hits but Bye Bye being released and no promotion after Bye Bye ruined the CD's chances of being diamond. Cruise Control is hot, Thanks 4 Nothin, I Stay In Love, For The Record are all hot. (Wednesday 28 June 2017; 12:35)

Re: Thanks for Nothing in Baku (76,731) (76,735) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes "Cruise Control" should have been a hit. The whole album has so many good songs that didn't get the attention they deserved. Migrate, Side Effects and For the record had also great potential to become a hit. I love EMC2 so much. Great album. (Wednesday 28 June 2017; 11:14)

Re: It's not to stay relevent (76,726) (76,734) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes I do hope te music is her priority too. Or let's say will be again. It's ok to have side projects but please not only for making fast money. In the 90ies the commercials for Japan were great. The Pinko and perfume stuff is also nice. But the latest deals like champagne, match.com, the "Israel"-water and Dead Sea cosmetics, private gigs for rich people I'm not a fan of this. I want new music which is heartfelt with great lyrics. Pop, Soul, Rnb, Jazz whatever she wants to do. And if Mariah is no longer interested in "normal" album releases, it's ok. All I'm asking for is to bring back the professional behavior with a good taste (without using the f. and too much diva-talking.) It's getting boring and she's so much more than this. (Wednesday 28 June 2017; 11:07)

Re: It's not to stay relevent (76,727) (76,733) by Butterfly from What Mariah doesn't realize is that she's losing money. After 40 touring is the next money making for legends. She has destroyed her image and live reputation for short term money and bad judgement (management, pr). It's not surprising she is a guest on someone else tour with a team unqualified to manage anyone in the music industry. Mariah is risking her future projects (tours, private events, Vegas money). If she wants to make big money professionalism is the way to go. She needs levelheaded people around her. (Wednesday 28 June 2017; 11:04)

One off shows (76,732) by lil star from untied states I don't feel like the vocals were as horrid as people led me to expect. But that being said there is a huge difference when Mariah does one off shows and concert tours like Vegas and Christmas. I just don't think she puts in the practice and warm ups needed. And I don't belive she does her run throughs. To me it sounds like she just goes up with no direction and throws around notes and hope they land. Kind of like if you go sing at a random karaoke bar and don't know how the sound is and pick a song you know but have never done before. She shouldn't do the one off shows if she's not going to put in the work. (Wednesday 28 June 2017; 05:24)

Re: Thanks for Nothing in Baku (76,711) (76,731) by darrian liu from taiwan I've said it before and I'll say it again. Cruise Control was meant to dominate the airwaves in summer. It's the potential song of the summer. It's got "smash hit" all over it. It could've been Mariah's 19th number one after TMB. I'm still bitter about it lmao. (Wednesday 28 June 2017; 05:23)

Re: "It's important to have his and hers everything" (76,718) (76,730) by Edouard from France Hey Thank You Terna. I feel the same way about you and a few others here who love Mariah, the artist, the woman. You haven't been posting a lot lately and I started to worry. It felt very lonely here. Mariah, her music as well as the beauty of her soul which, to me, clearly shines through her music even to this day, have helped me a lot in my life. I don't understand how some people can waist so much time criticizing someone they claim to love. It makes no sense to me at all. If you have nothing positive to say about someone, then it means you don't love the person. So let it go and love someone else. Get a life. Anyways I admire how you're able to take the high road Terna. Meeting you there soon. (Wednesday 28 June 2017; 05:10)

Re: Can we all celebrate the fact (76,717) (76,729) by Edouard from France Yeah you're right, even Brett cut ties with him. And he was basically married to him. They were business partners. And they are not anymore I believe. I wonder what happened. Maybe Stella, who might be a newcomer in the game but who's definetly protective of Mariah, realized something was wrong with his business attitude and that's why he was horrible to her. The rumor says Packer went into a rage with a female employee of MC. I don't know. Just speculating. (Wednesday 28 June 2017; 05:00)

Re: Mimi's response about Packer's whereabouts (76,725) (76,728) by Lila from United States The tickets actually weren't free. It's just that Packer allegedly paid for 17 very expensive tickets but then handed them out like party favors to Benjamin Netanyahu's wife Sara Netanyahu and the head of an Israeli Intelligence Yosef Cohen. The tickets were just free for those two and whomever they then handed them out to in turn. I think it very likely happened. I also don't think it was a coincidence that the first time Mariah performed in Israel, she also so happened to be "dating" a man with personal and political ties to the head of state. (Wednesday 28 June 2017; 04:30)

Re: It's not to stay relevent (76,720) (76,727) by Licia from USA Some of the stuff she's promoting and doing is strictly to keep herself visible/relevant and for the money. Maybe back in the day her side deals were creative outlets or whatever, but not now. Call it what it is. She's stacking her money because the music industry doesn't pay like it used to and before she completely stops making music she's looking for a for sure money maker. That's all it is. Although I don't like or want anything she's been peddling, I get why she's doing it. (Wednesday 28 June 2017; 03:46)
