New All I Want For Christmas animated movie (73,825) by RibbonB from USA Well I wish Mariah well with this project. She may be watering down the iconic brand of her song with this, but I hope it is cute anyway. I won't even shade Crusterella this post. (Tuesday 21 March 2017; 17:57)

Article: One happy family (73,824) by Lila from United States I'm so over of all these "lets go to dinner, so we can call the paparazzi" moments. Also, for me, it's still startling to see reality tv star tacked onto Mariah's name: "The E. reality star...". Anytime I see it, I still have to have a moment to just stare and think/question, really hard, how they got there: are those words really there, are they correct, how did we get here?

Re: Something that bugs (73,820) (73,823) by Martyn from England, UK I think it all boils down to laziness. It always feels like minimal effort is put into everything she does nowadays, which is a shame. I'd love her to have the same drive she had back in the 90s, but I guess when you're 47, have two kids and have achieved such a gargantuan amount, there isn't as much motivation.

Re: Drake shades Jlo - should have had Mariah sing it (73,821) (73,822) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Yes it comes in many flavors, you can eat it on it's own or mixed in other desserts (like custard), it generally comes in small packets that you can carry around haha.

Re: Drake shades Jlo - should have had Mariah sing it (73,818) (73,821) by darrian liu from taiwan I have no idea about this "Jlo" thing. Is it the one you eat as dessert? (Tuesday 21 March 2017; 09:32)

Something that bugs (73,820) by Nikki from usa As much as MC is known for being "stripped down" where concerts are concerned I'm afraid her ads for her residency are too spartan. Hers are the most basic compared to everyone else, they're also the shortest. The rest of the headliners have attention grabbing intros describing what will be experienced at their concert while all MC has listed are her accolades. The rest also have their pages showing pics of them on stage with reviews, tips, and critical praise. Mariah has none of it. Despite how praised her concerts have been, no one would know by reading any of that. I'm talking about the actual concert sites and ticketmaster promoting them. Remember how she announced it? There was a stint on Ellen and then her car ride to interviews on location and that was it. She's done and received the least promotion, seemingly in Vegas history. Add that to her spartan descriptions and lack of feedback to serve as a push, the way she has been selling her shows as well as she has is pretty impressive. (Tuesday 21 March 2017; 04:03)

Re: B (73,819) by Nikki from usa Not to rain on your parade, but I think what little success I Don't has had has far more to do with it being on her show, Packer drama, and an over-sexualized video than its beats. Kids loved Infinity, adults didn't. My 11 year old was singing it and she doesn't like Mariah, she had half her class singing it too because it's catchy and sassy. If that had played on an anime or popular cartoon MC would've had gold. I like "I Don't", but I think Mariah's over it. I don't understand why she'd go through all the hoopla to release it, make a video, sing it live once and leave it do die. She's not pushing or singing it live anywhere. That would make sense if she was already touring with Lionel, but now that her schedule's open there's no excuse why she's not trying to do more with it. I think the Packer drama and her show simply gave an opportunity and she took it. Lyrically, it's the first time she sang something where you can't tell what it's about and there's zero poetry or witty play on words. A generic breakup for sure. But, get this: SIO - cheating, HB - cheating, CLG - can't move on after breakup, WBT - wishing a lover would come back, ID - "treated bad"... how? Lyrically speaking, I can't even tell if the relationship is over already or simply about to be and still don't know why. (Tuesday 21 March 2017; 03:06)

Drake shades Jlo - should have had Mariah sing it (73,818) by Sheila from United States Did you catch that? The music playing in the DraLo prom video is "Get Together," only it's an earlier version with Drake and Lopez singing together. What the report from Entertainment Tonight is implying is that, immediately following the break-up, Drake may have decided to send a message about his feelings on the matter by bringing in a new singer to collaborate with on "Get It Together". This meant removing Lopez's actual vocals but feeling no type of way about leaving a shady reference to her ghosting him on one song and using the chorus from another song for a track. As of now, Drake has removed all of Jlo's vocals. (Monday 20 March 2017; 18:26)

Mariah's masterpiece - Vision of Love/WBT (73,811) (73,817) by Ty from USA "We belong together" but everyone loves "Always be my baby". (Monday 20 March 2017; 17:51)

Mariah (73,816) by B from USA Mariah has never released a bad album or single (song). Some are better than others but she's still talented enough to write I Don't which tells all about the Packer split without naming names and the sample was a stroke of genius as is the adding of a current trap beat that doesn't overwhelm the original. I Don't has really grown on me and if Epic pushed it at radio Mariah could score a Top 20 hit. (Monday 20 March 2017; 17:43)

Re: Licia (73,810) (73,815) by B from USA I like Infinity but I can understand why some might not. The verses are modern Mariah (post TEOM) and the chorus are classic Mariah (before Butterfly). The production tries to straddle this fine line and falls flat. Is it a shady diss record or an uplifting anthem? It tries to be both and fails. It's half assed. It feels rushed. I Don't was able to update Mariah's signature sound seamlessly. The sample and interpolation mixed with a current trap beat works and is why it's gotten more views than a lot of her recent releases.

Re: Mariah's masterpiece - Vision of Love/WBT (73,811) (73,814) by B from USA One Sweet Day doesn't get the credit it deserves. Its still played at funerals and still helps people who are mourning the loss of a loved one. How many songs can say that? Especially songs that were released 22 years ago? (Monday 20 March 2017; 17:31)

Butterfly (Wake Up Remix) (73,813) by Ben from Sweden Chris Brown ft. Mariah Carey Butterfly (Wake Up Remix). Love it. (Monday 20 March 2017; 14:13)

Re: Madonna's classic is Bedtime stories (73,808) (73,812) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Right? Right? Those are my top 3 songs off that album. Play them in succession and prepare yourself to luxuriate in R&B bliss. (Monday 20 March 2017; 11:17)

Re: Mariah's masterpiece - Vision of Love/WBT (73,811) by Sheila from United States Mariah has many hits, many great unreleased songs, while the pop charts say One Sweet Day is her classic. Vision of Love and We Belong Together are her masterpieces. (Monday 20 March 2017; 10:44)

Re: Licia (73,803) (73,810) by Licia from USA I don't acknowledge or talk about those two tracks. I ignore them like I ignore Crapfinity and Why You Mad the Craptastic remix lol. I agree that was a missed opportunity. I expected so much more from both of those tracks because I've wanted those R. Kelly and Mary J collaborations for years. I want to believe that if she ever worked with Babyface again that he would motivate her to do better than what she has been. I just refuse to believe that she'd half ass anything with him. He's such a perfection I don't believe he'd allow her to half ass anything in a session with him. (Monday 20 March 2017; 01:18)

Vanishing / MC's catalogue (73,809) by MusicfanJ from Germany I just turned the radio off because the female singers on the charts hurt my ears. Lol. Beside "All alone in love" I think "Vanishing" is also a gem, the energy and emotion that Mariah had with only 20 years is phenomenal. When she sings: And if somehow I could recapture. From her debut to MIAMTEC and all the remixes, her catalogue is simply the best. Like somebody said on this board I wish we would get more unreleased songs or raw material that Sony still owns.

Re: Madonna's classic is Bedtime stories (73,808) by Ty from USA Love tried to welcome me and forbidden love and take a bow. Yesssssss. (Sunday 19 March 2017; 20:00)

Re: Is it genetic? (73,802) (73,807) by Licia from USA She knows good music when she hears it. That's too cute. (Sunday 19 March 2017; 19:10)

What I miss (73,806) by Will from England I miss it when Mariah wrote sad songs over upbeat music, but you didn't realize it was a sad or depressing song at all. Dreamlover, Breakdown, Heartbreaker etc. (Sunday 19 March 2017; 19:03)

Re: Madonna's classic is not Drowned World (73,801) (73,805) by Edward from USA Babyface's background vocals are so intrinsic to "Take a Vow" and its greatness that I don't think the song would be the same if it were stripped off his vocals. While Madonna doesn't posses a powerful voice, her delivery on this song was great, and that video was pure art. (Sunday 19 March 2017; 16:21)

Re: Is it genetic? (73,802) (73,804) by B from USA My nephews love You're Mine (Eternal) and Infinity. (Sunday 19 March 2017; 16:00)

Licia (73,801) (73,803) by Edward from USA Licia, I believe that quality in Mariah's music started declining when she stared cutting and pasting for the "Angel's Advocate" project. Some of her collaborations came out great, like "Angels Cry", "Up Out My Face" and "I Can't Wait to Hate". but I can clearly see why they never released it. R-Kelly is a great lyricist and could give Mariah a run for her money vocally, but it was such a let down. Another wasted opportunity was the duet with Mary J Blige, why o why? When I got the Deluxe version, the first thing I did was listen to those two tracks, I was especially more interested in her duet with Mary, since I've always loved "It's a Wrap", but 1.5 minutes into it, I deleted it. I did the same with the R-Kelly duet. Mariah and Babyface did magic in the 90's, but I don't know if she could do anything remotely similar, in terms of quality, to "Never Forget You", "Melt Away" or "Everytime I Close My Eyes" these days. I think Mariah has gotten lazy and careless with her music. (Sunday 19 March 2017; 15:55)

Is it genetic? (73,802) by Edward from USA My sister in law just sent me a short video of my 6-year old niece singing "My All" with such passion that I think Mariah has found herself some hardcore competition. My sister in law says that my niece heard it play on her YouTube playlist, and she made her play it for her about 10 times now. How could this even happen? My whole family knows I'm a fan of Mariah's, but how did this little lamb came out to be? She requested to hear more, so I made a playlist based on the fact that she says that Mariah's voice sounds like an angel. 1. Love Takes Time 2. Till The End of Time 3. Hero 4. Dreamlover 5. Always Be My Baby 6. Underneath the Stars 7. Open Arms 8. Jesus Born on This Day 9. All I Want for Christmas Is You 10. My All 11. Butterfly 12. Fourth of July 13. Honey (Sunday 19 March 2017; 15:29)

Re: Madonna's classic is not Drowned World (73,799) (73,801) by Licia from USA Babyface did his thing on Take a Bow. I too want him and Mariah working together again. I also want a proper duet between the two. Unlike the R. Kelly/Mariah combo I wanted, we know that Mariah and Babyface mesh together. (Sunday 19 March 2017; 14:10)
