Re: Article: Nick Cannon talks having sex with Mariah Carey (65,444) (65,446) by Licia from USA Lord I can't even defend Nick this go round. I've always agreed that sometimes he needs to be quiet. I didn't like her taking shots at him in Crapfinity and I don't like him saying stuff like this. I agree Ribbon they both knew who they were marrying and yes that will fake it like all is well in the next family photo. If there just happens to be a pic where she's hitting him up side his head I wouldn't be mad though. Lol. (Saturday 20 August 2016; 1:56)

Re: Article: Nick Cannon talks having sex with Mariah Carey (65,443) (65,445) by Marissa from USA Not surprised by his comments and I don't have the energy to get mad anymore. At least they're not together while he's rehashing this. I think the lack of respect on both sides was what led to the downfall of their marriage. He didn't respect her privacy or boundaries and after a certain point she started to treat him like a "peasant with benefits" and steamrolled over what he wanted (wanting to wean the kids off of the pacifiers, wanting to emphasize the kids' education, etc). I think they loved each other but didn't respect each other enough to be the united front they needed to be to make a marriage work. (Saturday 20 August 2016; 1:44)

Re: Article: Nick Cannon talks having sex with Mariah Carey (65,443) (65,444) by RibbonB from USA He's not saying anything he hasn't said before. Sure he should stop, but they will probably be photographed together in another family photo, like all is well. He talks like most silly comedians, he is just the only one who has been married to a superstar. Well Russell Brand is not funny and he was not gracious at all to Katy Perry. Mariah and Nick both knew who they were marrying. (Saturday 20 August 2016; 1:34)

Article: Nick Cannon talks having sex with Mariah Carey (65,443) by Betty from Canada He has learned absolutely nothing. I cannot believe Mariah stayed with him as long as she did, she is a saint. Unfortunately, she seems to be stuck with this for the rest of her life. (Saturday 20 August 2016; 1:15)

Re: Candy Bling (65,432) (65,442) by RibbonB from USA The song and video for "Hate u both" annoy me. Lol but I love JD's remix for "Hate u". It's sharp and snappy and adds excitement and flavor to the song. (Saturday 20 August 2016; 0:39)

Re: Article: Nick Cannon talks having sex with Mariah Carey (65,437) (65,441) by B from USA He really is. He's immature. He's a joke. His only talent is his looks. Sorry not sorry. He has no talent. (Saturday 20 August 2016; 0:15)

Article: Nick Cannon talks having sex with Mariah Carey (65,437) by JT from USA He's still as juvenile as [censored]. (Friday 19 August 2016; 23:55)

Re: Best eras - in memoriam (65,426) (65,435) by B from USA I love If We. I wish Mariah had been able to release that song before Jenny from the block stole it and released it first. I'm dying to hear the original Loverboy with the original sample Jenny used. (Friday 19 August 2016; 23:53)

Cover (65,434) by Lara from Middle East That edit would have been a nice album cover for #1 To Infinity. If it wasn't for the nostalgia factor and that they "updated" the cover from #1, this would have been a great second choice. (Friday 19 August 2016; 22:49)

Re: Candy Bling/TMB (65,430) (65,433) by RibbonB from USA Yes, TMB is a classic. I love, love, love that little ditty. Lol. Very cute, fun, sexy and playful. I love Aretha's cover of it too, so hilarious to see her perform it on YouTube. I hate the remix that R Kelly made though. Ugh, he gives me the heebie geebies. hahaha. Kelly is the epitome of irrelevant, with his new 19 year old girlfriend, who he met at the club with her momma. (Friday 19 August 2016; 22:47)

Re: Candy Bling (65,428) (65,432) by B from USA The title is off putting. I Still Remember would have been a better title. Candy Bling should have been a single instead of H.A.T.E.U. I love that song. I also love JD's remix. (Friday 19 August 2016; 22:45)

Re: Candy Bling (65,430) (65,431) by B from USA Candy Bling is my favorite song from Memoirs. I also love Touch My Body. Mariah needs a sexy summer banger. She needs the right fire starter to make another comeback. (Friday 19 August 2016; 22:42)

Re: Candy Bling (65,429) (65,430) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I don't understand why people say stuff like "I can't believe Mariah is the same person who wrote VOL because now she writes songs like TMB". I'm like what? TMB is awesome. I mean I can understand "Infinity" getting dissed (although it's not really the worst thing out there, I enjoy it sometimes), but I will never understand the hate for TMB. It's fun, flirty, sexy, fresh and basically the definition of a summer jam. The chorus is fun and cute, the video was great. I don't think it lacks anything. I mean Mariah wrote silly lyrics before too, it's not like she always has to be deep and write about heartbreak or longing for a lover. TMB was deserved that #1 spot because that song managed to capture not only the lambs but the GP too. A lot of people know TMB and it's one of the more popular Mariah songs that people can name and they also enjoy it. (Friday 19 August 2016; 22:25)

Re: Candy Bling (65,428) (65,429) by RibbonB from USA Lol true about the title, she hardly ever says candy bling, but I love the way she says the remember part. Such a good, cool song. I was stunned to hear it sitting up in starbucks on break. Lol. It's been so long since weve heard a recent song on the radio waves. Lol. I can't wait for that moment to happen again. I heard Beautiful a few times, but not in heavy rotation. Lol. I loved when TMB was a smash and you heard it two times an hour. Lol. (Friday 19 August 2016; 21:39)

Re: Candy Bling (65,422) (65,428) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I love "Candy Bling". The soothing vocals, the cute story, the finger snaps, the soft music and the climax ad-libs. I also love the sample of Ahmad's "Back in the day". The song is underrated and I think the name of the song puts some people off haha, although I think it's cute. I think it would be less hated on if it was named "I still remember" or something like that. (Friday 19 August 2016; 21:26)

Where is Mariah? (65,427) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So there are a lot of photos Stella posted of herself, Mishka and Zarina on the Warner Bros Studios lot. In one we can see something being shot with all the camera equipment and lighting equipment. Is Mariah supposed to be on any show or is she shooting anything new? (Friday 19 August 2016; 19:39)

Re: Best eras - in memoriam (65,413) (65,426) by Haiji Toro from USA I agree with all of this. These were all great eras. My favorite era was the Rainbow-Glitter era. Personality wise, she seemed free. She began speaking her mind. Her interviews were so much fun to watch. Although the Rainbow album isn't on my too favorite list (due to a few fillers), it still has some memorable songs. I remember "Petals" being my favorite and "Did I Do That?" my least favorite, and the latter still is. Her style was fun and simple. She really showed her girly side, which she has said previously, that's who she really is. Her videos were great and majority of them had concepts. The Bianca role and skits were great. A little corny now that I'm older, but at those times it was nice to see, very different to what we were used to seeing from her. She was so involved in the music and video process, while still working on Glitter, the movie. The movie isn't the best but I still enjoy watching it for laughs and memories. The soundtrack to me was perfect. I understood the concept. She knew what she was doing musically, with being featured on most songs. It's so funny to think back to that time, remembering how much of a fan I was to Mariah and J-Lo, both. I remember hating the "I'm Real" remix because I had a friend that wouldn't stop playing it so much, but still enjoyed the original version. I absolutely loved "If We" when I first heard it but I remember thinking that it was so similar to "I'm Real" remix, but didn't mind. Samples were overused in those days, thanks to Diddy lol so I didn't think much of it. My favorite songs off the soundtrack were "Lead the Way" (very underrated) and "Want You". I was so upset that neither became official singles in the US. I feel that the whole Glitter "debacle" is what really started the Mariah "shade" era (2002 - now). I felt bad for her then and sided with her. I think now it's just become overly exhausting to even hear and see. (Friday 19 August 2016; 19:06)

Re: Song of the decade (65,416) (65,425) by RibbonB from USA Pharrell has had a few great songs, but he is a bit over rated IMO. Say Something was lukewarm at best. She does need just the right combination of music, lyrics and arrangement. I hope she has some good things coming soon just to whet our appetites, if not an actual home run. She needs to get a base hit again. Lol. I wish she could get her music on Scandal or some hit show. (Friday 19 August 2016; 18:51)

Mariah Carey's underrated sophomore album turns 25 (65,424) by B from USA Mariah's sophomore effort Emotions is an homage to her influences. Emotions is one of her strongest efforts and it is severely underrated. (Friday 19 August 2016; 18:33)

Arrangements (65,423) by B from USA I think Mariah should rearrange her hits like she did for TGIFY. Just her and a piano. This type of arrangement showcases her still impressive vocals and highlights her talent as a songwriter. I hope she does Storytellers. I was so disappointed when she cancelled her appearance. (Friday 19 August 2016; 18:23)

Candy Bling (65,422) by RibbonB from USA I actually heard this playing yesterday while in Starbucks. Sounded so cute, so good. I like the way Mariah sings so smoothly and tells the story about fond times. She really can get a variety of colors and flavors to her voice. A nice little song too. (Friday 19 August 2016; 18:15)

Re: The Emancipation Of Mimi era (65,420) (65,421) by Merr Hasenan from Malaysia I'm hoping for Mariah to do something with her hits. Rearrange the music and the structure of the songs that suit more to her recent vocal. Madonna is the queen in this game, i never heard the same Vogue or Like A Virgin in her concerts. It is always a different version. As for the new music, I want Mariah to write ballads in the line of Butterfly, Music Box, ISIL or WBT, pop/r and B minus the guest rappers. The music experts will call the new songs WBT part 1001, but the non lambs will appreciate her. She needs to work with Diane Warren or Babyface. I desperately need the big ballad. (Friday 19 August 2016; 16:01)

Re: The Emancipation Of Mimi era (65,419) (65,420) by ADAM from USA I wish she'd do a one-off performance from start to finish of her debut album all acoustic. Alicia Keys did something like that a year ago and I thought it was a perfect platform to remind fans and non-fansalike that you're still relevant but also to share stories about this famous record. Mariah always says she's tired in many ways of performing the hits, but never steps outside her comfort zone to perform any material that's not. I don't consider the random singing of a few lines of The Roof or Cant Let Go sufficient enough. I feel she's lazy and doesn't put in the work to re-package older material to her fans. Madonna and Beyonce are excellent in this matter. They both always change up the structure and melodies of their older hits and it always makes for intrigue as a listener when they perform. The creativity they put into there songs makes me sad that Mariah doesn't do half the effort. (Friday 19 August 2016; 13:39)

Re: The Emancipation Of Mimi era (65,414) (65,419) by darrian liu from taiwan She needs good live televised performances to convince people that she still can sing. Unplugged performances with just one instrument would be great. (Friday 19 August 2016; 12:51)

Re: Vocals (65,411) (65,418) by darrian liu from taiwan She was the most effortless in 1993-1996, if we talk about technique. In the debut era, sometimes Mariah got a little too chesty in the upper belts, hence the occasional rasp we hear back then. (Friday 19 August 2016; 12:45)
