Re: Gay icon status (76,253) (76,258) by MusicfanJ from Germany That's what I meant. Not Rainbow, you're right. Love the CTTA pic, looks like Mariah in paradise. (Monday 12 June 2017; 21:22)

27 years today debut album (76,257) by Haiji Toro from USA What's your two favorite songs (single and non-single) off this album? Mine are Love Takes Time and Prisoner. Although, I do wish she'd perform Alone In Love at her concerts. (Monday 12 June 2017; 19:15)

Re: Just an older fan (76,244) (76,256) by Haiji Toro from USA Lmao I bet that I screamed louder than you did with that rim job comment (why did I feel so dirty typing that, I think I'm also Mary Poppins). (Monday 12 June 2017; 19:10)

Re: Just an older fan (76,237) (76,255) by Tyler from USA Must of struck a cord but will stand by what I said. It comes off as some people on this board get excitement for putting her down. Besides certain social media post she's virtually been away from the spot light yet find things to hate on her daily. The women is running errands and we call her fat and tacky. We are literally sitting here judging her outfit like she's at the Oscar. I am not employed by Stella, just someone that realizes that this is a person. End of the day. (Monday 12 June 2017; 18:38)

Happy Radio (76,254) by Warrior Butterfly from USA For about two weeks now Mariah has been getting radio play from a old school hip station where I live. The most spun tracks are Someday and Emotions. (Monday 12 June 2017; 17:56)

Re: Gay icon status (76,247) (76,253) by B from USA It's a poster of the Can't Take That Away (Mariah's Theme) cover. (Monday 12 June 2017; 17:35)

Re: Just an older fan (76,237) (76,252) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Well said. I totally agree. This whole "you all are old farts" is basically rephrasing Stella's iconic "Tommy is a relic" quote. (Monday 12 June 2017; 16:21)

Re: Mariah Carey helps Lena Dunham take down trolls (76,250) (76,251) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah has some classic lines (although "Why are you so obsessed with me" is not her original) that I use on a day to day basis. And my friends who are not lambs also love some of these lines and they use it too. Haha it's fun. (Monday 12 June 2017; 16:19)

Mariah Carey helps Lena Dunham take down trolls (76,250) by B from USA Lena, who is supposedly the voice of her generation, said she invokes Mariah when confronted by angry men. Maybe I will as well. (Monday 12 June 2017; 15:55)

Gay icon (76,249) by G.G. from USA Some people on this board just like to stir the pot and argue about every single thing. Mariah is a gay icon, maybe not for one certain wolf in lambs clothing, but she is. It's so sad that people are so hateful, and miserable in the life they've built for themselves that they go to message boards to argue and put people down every single day. Mariah may not be at the Judy Garland level of gay icon, but she is a gay icon in her own right. (Monday 12 June 2017; 15:42)

Re: Gay icon status (76,246) (76,247) by B from USA Doesn't Damion have the TGIFY single cover hanging on his wall? I bought a double feature of Clueless and Mean Girls but haven't watched either in a while. (Monday 12 June 2017; 15:33)

Re: Gay icon status (76,243) (76,246) by MusicfanJ from Germany I always have to think about the Mean Girls movie. Where the gay friend of "Lindsey" has the Mariah Rainbow poster with the unicorn in his room and also a t-shirt. Mariah is definitely a singer people can relate to who are a bit on the "outside" or knew the feelings she described in many of her songs. Because of her background and many other things. Of course she's no Cher but Mariah did speak out for a lot of groups. By the way thanks B. for the list of donations. Very interesting. I love Mariah's quote of the Rainbow album: "In a perfect world, human beings would co-exist, harmoniously like a rainbow. A multitude of colors... but in unison." In 99 it was a wonderful thought. (Monday 12 June 2017; 12:15)

Re: IG pic: Limited collection pride (76,230) (76,245) by MusicfanJ from Germany Ok that would make sense. Hmm I hope it's not about a new blush-powder. We'll see in 4 days. (Monday 12 June 2017; 11:56)

Re: Just an older fan (76,237) (76,244) by Andrew from UK "Champagne scented toilet paper" haha. I'm screaming with laughter. You just made my morning brighter. Don't put ideas in old Mariah's head. Best rim job ever though, I feel. (Monday 12 June 2017; 10:18)

Gay icon status (76,243) by Andrew from UK I donated to Elton John's AIDS foundation. Am I a gay icon? It seems basically some of the more needy and emotional homos in here desperately need Mariah to be thought of as a gay icon, whereas, I would suggest that even most gay people would roll their eyes and say "I can't stand her" alongside the rest of society that does that now. Would suggest that is an axiom that Mariah is not a gay icon in that she isn't revered in the gay community. Some gays like her. But some gays like J.Lo. Is she a gay icon, too? Some gays like Michael Jackson. Is he a gay icon? Basically, if gay people like your music/have heard your music/know who you are, you're a so-called "gay icon"? Utter tripe. And Outside is no more a gay anthem than I am a gay icon, myself. It is a song about being mixed race that some have re-interpreted to fit their own situation, a song that back ended an album 20 years ago, that nobody, unless a Mariah Carey fan, has heard, or, indeed, cares about, either. Utter, utter tripe. (Monday 12 June 2017; 10:14)

Mariah's formula (76,242) by B from USA This excerpt from from All Music's review of Rainbow is what Mariah needs to hear at fhe moment since shes working on an album scheduled for release this year: "It's appropriate for any introspective album, it's a bit ballad-heavy, which makes Rainbow seem a little samey. Yet that's not the only reason the record has a weird sense of déjà vu, since this follows the same formula as its two predecessors, distinguished primarily by her newfound fondness for flashing flesh. That repetition isn't necessarily a problem, since she does formula very well, managing to appeal to both housewives as well as b-boys. Rainbow proves that she can still pull off that difficult balancing act, but it's hard not to be a little disappointed that she'd didn't shake the music up a little bit more - after all, it would have been a more effective album if the heartbreak, sorrow, and joy that bubbles underneath the music were brought to the surface. She needs to hire a stylist and she needs to shake her music up at bit more. She needs to work with Frank Ocean and his producers, Miguel and Happy Perez, and Bruno Mars and The Smeezingtons. She also has to do damage control she needs a vocal coach, a throat vocal specialist and she also needs to quiet drinking and smoking. She so needs to rest her voice and the twins are old enough to read. No matter what I'll allows support her. I know what she's capable of." (Monday 12 June 2017; 04:16)

Re: Celebrity game night hosted by Pixar (76,231) (76,241) by RibbonB from USA That does look like a cool event. She was there with an interesting bunch of celebrities and Crustella too. (Monday 12 June 2017; 04:08)

Re: Gay anthem? Gay icon (76,224) (76,240) by 123 from USA She's a gay icon because the gay community made her one, you know the traditional way all female entertainers used to become one. Not for publically supporting the gay movement for good press and record sales. When men in drag dress like her and lip synch to her music on a Friday night, it doesn't matter what anyone says, her gay icon status has been cemented, whether you like it or not. I legendary one at that. (Monday 12 June 2017; 04:02)

Re: You're Mine (Eternal) (76,222) (76,239) by RibbonB from USA B, the radio is not gonna be friendly to our more seasoned divas. It just seems to be that way these days. Things are cyclical and perhaps big voiced divas will come into favor again in the next decade. It's only a few years away, so she is good. Her latest attempts to be on trend have been a trap for her, no pun intended. (Monday 12 June 2017; 03:53)

Lionel tour (76,238) by RibbonB from USA Looks like Mariah and Lionel will sing a duet when on tour. Not sure why he was being coy when she and Luther had a big hit together with his song Endless Love. I hope all goes off without a hitch. (Monday 12 June 2017; 03:34)

Just an older fan (76,237) by Haiji Toro from USA We are indeed, the best reflection of her fan base. We were there from the beginning of her career and we're still here as it may possibly end. We stuck with her through her good and her bad. We come from a time that all we had was her music and this messageboard. If it weren't for this site, we'd have to subject ourselves to those so-called fans that know nothing about the true roots of her music and her life. Those "yass bitch", "the queen can do no wrong" type of fans that we see on social media. If it weren't for people like Mimi L, Andrew, Adam, B, Ribbon, Licia, Special K, Edward and of course Eric, to mention just a few, we wouldn't be informed with actual truth and information about what's really going on. Yeah, some are a little more blunt than others, but why is it OK for us as regular people to give each other tough love but we must walk on eggshells and praise these celebrities as if they were gods? MC isn't in any way or form checking for us and our opinions, obviously. Otherwise, we'd have actual music to discuss rather than what she finds more important, her antics, finances, t.ts and a$$, her men and a whole lotta nonsense. Everything nowadays seem to be gimmicks. I'm patiently waiting for the day she adds champagne scented toilet paper to her long list of pointless things to promote, instead of new music. I myself, am getting tired of defending her. How hard is it to just scroll through and simply ignore the comments you don't care for? Stella must be managing you as well if you find it that hard to think for yourselves. (Monday 12 June 2017; 02:22)

Sorry (76,236) by Lee TS from USA For my negative message. It wasn't necessary but I just felt things were so dire. I won't leave her like some fans have announced on this board. I just hope she's happy and continue on making great music. She needs to just keep it real and not be distracted by all this Hollywoood nonsense. (Monday 12 June 2017; 02:08)

Lemonade (76,235) by B from USA Rainbow was certified Platinum by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), denoting shipments of one million copies. Lemonade was certified double platinum by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), denoting shipments of two million copies. (Monday 12 June 2017; 01:35)

Re: Curves (76,223) (76,234) by B from USA Mariah is never going to have her 2008 Touch My Body again. Giving birth changed her body. She knows [she] has hips. She was athletic and lean before she got pregnant now she had child bearing hips and a booty. She'd look amazing if she got a breast reduction and stopped having fillers injected in her face. She started getting fillers injected not long after Stella became her manager. (Monday 12 June 2017; 01:19)
