B from USA (65,268) by Giovanni from USA I find it funny how you changed your feelings for "The art of letting go" when before you also stated that it was one of Mariah's personal songs lol. Never before did you ever speak of it in a negative way. Now it's "wordy" and disjointed"? What happened B? (Sunday 14 August 2016; 22:32)

Re: Me I Am Mariah (65,238) (65,267) by Giovanni from USA Not every one of Mariah's songs has a melody now do they? "Mine again" is one of my all time favorite songs and it does not have a melody. "The art of letting go" is one of Mariah's most personal songs. And when was the last time we heard her belt that fierce? "Joyride"? "Angels cry" was probably the closest but not as strong as "The art of letting go". "Supernatural" is too cutesy and "Money" is just a mess. I fall asleep during "Money" and "One more try". "Heavenly" saves the album in my opinion. Hopefully Mariah's next album is better with better collaborations. Say Miguel, John Legend, Sam Smith, R. Kelly, The weekend or an older legendary artist like Stevie Wonder or Tony Bennett. I would love a jazz number with him. That would be classic Mariah. (Sunday 14 August 2016; 22:28)

Moving on to a lighter subject (65,266) by Licia from USA That snapchat Nick posted of the kids was too cute. It kind of tugged at my heart strings when Nick asked Roc what the password was and he said "I love daddy and mama." Then he had to ruin it with the "boobies". I have a feeling Nick won't find the boobie thing funny when Roe gets hers. He may just cry. Lol. (Sunday 14 August 2016; 22:19)

Mariah dream (65,265) by Giovanni from USA I just thought I would share the dream I had about Mariah last night. I have never had a dream about her or any other singer or celebrity, but last night I did. Mariah was in my room beside my bed singing "Luluby" [sic] from the Charmbracelet album lol. Out of all the songs she sang "Luluby". She looked very pretty and was smiling the whole time. She had on a black blouse and a pair of jeans and her hair was tied to the side. The funniest part was after she was finished my friend appeared and she left with him and closed my door lol. This was too funny but in a way a dream come to true. I met Mariah but in a dream. This one was extra special too because usually in my dreams I don't hear anything. So now I have to go and play "Luluby". (Sunday 14 August 2016; 22:13)

Re: This is what you came for (65,243) (65,264) by George Golden from UK Well the powers that be want Rihanna to surpass Mariah badly. Anything she releases goes to number one or top three. I don't think it will hit number one, but don't rule out another number one from Anti. (Sunday 14 August 2016; 21:41)

Re: Probably the best documentary on MC (65,247) (65,263) by Musti from UK It's funny that you posted this. I was watching it too last week and I could swear I didn't remember some of the parts even though I'd watched it a few times before. The part about the alleged boob job is interesting. It made me think that perhaps TM was not so against Mariah going for a sexier image, if he really did buy her the boob job. He couldn't have been that oblivious to what was going on in the industry at the time with singers increasingly dropping more and more clothes. Sexy was becoming the new norm and Mariah had to keep up. I think his main issue was the hip hop direction. He just did not want her to hang with rappers. (Sunday 14 August 2016; 19:26)

Re: Intervention (65,251) (65,262) by Shezz from Pk Wiser words have not been spoken B. (Sunday 14 August 2016; 19:11)

Re: This is what you came for (65,243) (65,261) by Musti from UK I was thinking about the same thing. The song is still achieving small gains on the radio where it's sitting at #2, behind Cheap Thrills. It's currently sitting at #17 on the US iTunes chart and Cheap Thrills is at #11. I'm not sure how its streaming stats are but overall it looks like it's still behind Cheap Thrills. (Sunday 14 August 2016; 19:09)

Money (65,260) by RibbonB from USA I actually love this song Giovanni, It has a "cantankerous" beat and I love the way Mariah says "this that the other". The song bears no relation to the image she is showing now days, but it's a cute sentiment. Lol. I can definitely imagine a college band playing this one. Mariah has a few songs that lend themselves well to band arrangements. I can't wait until your Hozier music arrives, so you can give me your critique. (Sunday 14 August 2016; 18:42)

Re: Me I Am Mariah (65,252) (65,258) by RibbonB from USA AOLG is definitely too wordy and ill constructed. It sounds like a light weight blues song with fake strings. Now if she had covered BB King's The Thrill Is Gone, she would really have been saying something. Lol. I love these lyrics and it combines a little of Betha Gon Know and I wish You Well. Lol. The thrill is gone The thrill is gone away The thrill is gone baby The thrill is gone away You know you done me wrong baby And you'll be sorry someday The thrill is gone It's gone away from me The thrill is gone baby The thrill is gone away from me Although, I'll still live on But so lonely I'll be The thrill is gone It's gone away for good The thrill is gone baby It's gone away for good Someday I know I'll be open armed baby Just like I know a good man should You know I'm free, free now baby I'm free from your spell Oh I'm free, free, free now I'm free from your spell And now that it's all over All I can do is wish you well (Sunday 14 August 2016; 18:32)

Mariah's funny side / Josephine (65,257) by MusicfanJ from Germany I love Mariah's funny side so much. This video is one of the best. I wonder if she is still in contact with her long time friend Josephine. (Sunday 14 August 2016; 18:26)

Re: Me I Am Mariah (65,252) (65,256) by ADAM from USA TAOLG is a horrible song. There's no cohesive melody, bridge, and it's nonsensical in lyric composition. I can't believe she released that. It's embarrassing. Honestly it's makes me grateful to all the co writers and co producers she's worked with in the 90s to help compose her good music. I just hated all the hype before TAOLG. They built it up to be the next Vanishing and back to form to her earliest albums and it was such a let down. I hate these last several years of half efforts. I rather have less albums but quality music than these repeated attempts to recreate past hits. These kinds of stunts are making her lose her fan base and authenticity (Sunday 14 August 2016; 18:26)

Re: 2013 (65,253) (65,255) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Rachel would be perfect. Mariah just needs to let Rachel have 100% control and then no one can stop her from being a fashionista. I know some people here will now cringe or remark saying "Why is it important to be a fashionista, Mariah is a singer not a model" but we live in a time where visuals are very important. Kylie Jenner with zero talent is getting millions simply because people are obsessed with her fashion, same with Kim. Yes it might not always translate into album sales (like it didn't for JLo) but this is a better way of staying relevant than by drinking and exposing oneself. Plus JLo with her below average songs managed to chart over Mariah's high quality songs. I just can't deal with this. Forget the age factor or that she is a mother, the outfits Mariah mostly wears (leaving aside the exceptions) won't be chic or flattering on anyone. (Sunday 14 August 2016; 16:45)

Re: Me I Am Mariah (65,223) (65,254) by B from USA One More Try. Sounds like an instrumental from an 8th grade talent show. (Sunday 14 August 2016; 15:50)

Re: 2013 (65,233) (65,253) by B from USA I agree, Mimi. Mariah needs to hire a stylist. I'd recommend Rachel Zoe. She's able to seamlessly blend classy and edgy. (Sunday 14 August 2016; 15:40)

Re: Me I Am Mariah (65,236) (65,252) by B from USA I like Money. It's silly fun like Get Your Number. I also like Supernatural. I never really cared for The Art Of Letting Go. It's too wordy and the verses are disjointed. (Sunday 14 August 2016; 15:31)

Re: Intervention (65,244) (65,251) by B from USA We need to stage an intervention for you. Your negativity isn't healthy. We're worried about you, darling. (Sunday 14 August 2016; 15:24)

Re: Probably the best documentary on MC (65,247) (65,250) by B from USA I just watched that for the first time yesterday. (Sunday 14 August 2016; 15:20)

Re: Intervention (65,244) (65,249) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Actually it's her team that's needs to stop enabling her, because how much can the fans really stop her when she doesn't even know what we are talking about? She may have gotten rid of her previous team but she is still surrounded only by "yes men" who are there to benefit themselves by sucking up to Mariah. Not that Mariah isn't responsible for her actions but enabling her is encouraging her to do this more. Her team won't tell her to stop because they love partying and then posting drunk videos on social media thinking it's the best thing to do. Only thing it is doing is damaging Mariah and her reputation further because people already think she is all about splashes and boobs. So ya if she has no access to what the fans are saying, the fans are not responsible for this, it's her team and Mariah herself. (Sunday 14 August 2016; 14:33)

Re: Brat Ratner (65,240) (65,248) by RibbonB from USA Well she is already in bed with them so to speak, almost, but allegedly not until she marries, if that ever happens, but it seems like a stunt. Lol. Brett just seems like an entitled fat boy, frat boy, rat boy, pick one. He stumbled on a benefactor/business partner and they are working it, or working each other. Best case scenario, they are all friends and business partners, worst case scenario, they are both using the Bra until she drops. (Sunday 14 August 2016; 14:21)

Probably the best documentary on MC (65,247) by Edouard from France I think they did 2 versions of this documentary because I saw it a while back and I don't remember it going "so deep" into Mariah's psyche. It is very interesting. I totally relate to her on many levels (overcoming things and learning to just live your life, cause at the end of the day that's really all that you got). TV celebrity documentaries rarely focus on the mindset/emotional life of the people we admire. I feel this one is an honest portrayal of Mariah (to a certain degree of course). Although, when you think about it, only Mariah should present that side of herself. Check it out. Sidenote : Maybe that's the whole point of Mariah's World. (Sunday 14 August 2016; 13:55)

Re: Me I Am Mariah (65,236) (65,246) by Andrew from UK The Art Of Letting Go is awesome, I just had to listen to it again. It could have been a masterpiece if it didn't have silly "kitchen window" lyrics and didn't finish about a minute too early. Why did she write that kitchen window lyric? It's completely insane. It doesn't fit in with the song; you're soaring with the strings and suddenly you're in a bloody kitchen having a domestic. I think she had a few "splashes" that day, haha. In fact, I'd bet the farm on it. (Sunday 14 August 2016; 13:48)

Re: Don't know if you all noticed (65,240) (65,245) by Edouard from France Could you elaborate on that thought? (Sunday 14 August 2016; 13:46)

Intervention (65,244) by Andrew from UK People really need to stop with these cutesy words and silly phrases for Mariah lol it's like painting a watercolour of a car crash. This isn't the "bra era". Mariah doesn't have "splashes". Mariah dresses shamefully and clearly has an alcohol problem (and it clearly is a problem when a vocalist with damaged vocal chords can't say no to alcohol). Anybody else would be severely questioned and interventions staged lol you lot excuse it. No wonder shes gone completely off the rails with you guys enabling her and trying to make everything cutesy. Hah. That's shameful in itself. Dahlings. (Sunday 14 August 2016; 13:40)

This is what you came for (65,243) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Does anyone know if there is any chance this song will go to #1 next week? It dropped to #5 last week but it got to #3 this week. (Sunday 14 August 2016; 12:56)
