Re: Mariah's meet and greet disaster (66,722) (66,723) by Bobby from Usa Actually I know the guy and I know a lot of other lambs that are just being bullies toward him because they clearly are jealous of him. Mariah asked him to make the doll when he went to Amsterdam with his 2 little friends. Stella asked him to make them sweatshirts. He worked really hard to pay for his meet and greets and the doll that Mariah wanted. He brought another doll to Amsterdam and she fell in love with it but he didn't give it to her. Mariah posted him on her ig and everything. Mariah really loves him and shouts him out all the time. There's another lamb from China who has been to more meet and greets and more times to Vegas than that superfan. I think that anyone that has anything bad to say about it or him should ask him yourself. He's super sweet and I seen first hand how much Mariah loves him. There's no reason to spread unnecessary rumors about him. There is no proof this kid is so cute and so love able. Mariah clearly loves him and I think everyone is just hating and jealous because Mariah loves him. They should take a moment and just reach out to him and he will tell what is going on.

Re: Mariah's meet and greet disaster (66,716) (66,722) by Sheila from United States Go to mariahdoingthings on instagram [...] sad that all those lambs paid for meet and greet $1500 and now they are being refunded because one lunatic doesn't get the picture. (Monday 26 September 2016; 21:32)

Re: Rare Mariah voicemail has resurfaced (66,718) (66,721) by MusicfanJ from Germany I remember it. At that time Mariah was leaving voice-messages a lot. From 99 untill Glitter was released, then it stopped. She was talking to her fans almost like to friends. It was so cool. I think I read something like the management stopped it, after a weird voice message. Mariah sounded sad and exhausted in that one. [Webmaster: If you search for "voice message" on this website, you will find the transcripts of dozens of voice messages, from 1999 to 2014.] (Monday 26 September 2016; 21:20)

Article: Mariah Carey arrives in Bodrum during secluded holiday (66,719) by Andrew from UK Mariah's breasts now require their own postcode. It's not attractive. I recently watched a UK documentary on Mariah and a commentator said the following, which came to mind: "Her video image was perceived as a move of desperation, a move of cynical calculation, that her core audience - her most loyal audience - became embarrassed about for her." Their attitude was: "You've come this far without having to, essentially, prostitute yourself visually. No-one ever really asked to see your breasts or to see, you know, the bottom part of your behind or any of these things you seem bounded to show us in these videos now. So, why do it?"

Rare Mariah voicemail has resurfaced (66,718) by Martyn from England, UK Guys, there's a rare Mariah voicemail from 1999 that has resurfaced. It's one that was taken down after 10 minutes apparently, but 'Lambtivity' on Facebook has uploaded it as he saved it at the time. He's asked people not to share it, so all you need to do is to go on Facebook and search for "Lambtivity" and it's on his page. It makes me weep for the Mariah that used to have such a close connection with her fans, where did she go? Sidenote: there's a 3 and a half hour long megamix on his page too that's absolutely incredible - it's the same guy who makes the TMC megamixes. (Monday 26 September 2016; 20:01)

Re: Bye Bye (66,706) (66,717) by Andrew from UK I've had tears to this song, too. "And you never got to see how good I've done, you never got to see me back at number one" makes me well-up every time. But then there are other lyrics which ruin the song: "With the teddy bear you gave me that I held so tight" probably single-handedly prevented this song from having universal application. And her trying to ghetto it up for "[her] people". Cruise Control is the best thing on the album and should have been released as the second single. "Can't nobody, can't nobody tell me nuttin' when he comes into view..." is genius. I play it whenever I need to smile. "2008, watch it." (Monday 26 September 2016; 19:56)

Re: Mariah's meet and greet disaster (66,709) (66,716) by Marissa from USA These rumors have been swirling for a while now, but what evidence does anyone have that this actually happened? Let's just say I think the guy is um, "unique" for going to damn near every Vegas meet and greet that Mariah's ever had and essentially paying her consistently so he can feel like they are real friends, but I think his well-publicized "uniqueness" makes him a target for rumors like this even if there's no proof that anything actually happened. When an extremely reliable source can confirm this, then I'll believe it because it isn't fair for someone to get accused of something that no one can prove. (Monday 26 September 2016; 18:57)

New Instagram family times post (66,715) by SM from Citizen of the World It looks like Mariah was doing a photo shoot on her new instagram post today. Does anyone know for what? (Monday 26 September 2016; 17:39)

Re: Music Box (66,707) (66,714) by Randy from USA I was online, because I was bored, and there was an opinion ranking Music Box as her best album ever. It wasn't based on sales. I almost threw up. Butterfly was ranked #2 and TEOM was ranked #3. To me Music Box is a great album but belongs below the heavy artillery. For me, and not to start a list war, best to worse to me is Butterfly, Daydream, Music Box, Rainbow, Mariah Carey, Emotions, Merry Christmas, Unplugged, E=MC2, MOIA, Glitter, TEOM, Charmbracelet, MIAMTEC, MCIIYOU (Monday 26 September 2016; 17:20)

Re: New song (66,701) (66,712) (66,713) by Haiji Toro from USA See that's what I'm talking about. Thank you for that. I do understand that you don't know how to download, I know many others that don't either. Some don't even know how to use a computer, but it's all good. If you'd like, send me a message to my email and I'll help you or anyone else that needs help doing so. My email address is haijitoro@yahoo.com. Or just simply find me on Facebook using my name. I'm the picture with the peace hands holding. (Monday 26 September 2016; 16:48)

Re: New song (66,701) (66,712) by Tameka walker from United states Thank you for your post and you are not wasting your time. I want to help and support Mariah. I don't know how to download because I am not that good with computers. I need help with that, anything else I will do for our girl she deserves it. (Monday 26 September 2016; 14:30)

Re: Mariah vs. JLo fued explained video (66,703) (66,711) by Dennis from Miami, FL That video is hilarious. Especially the intro where Mariah is chasing JLo. I have watched this video 10 times at least during the last 2 month. (Monday 26 September 2016; 12:27)

Mariah's meet and greet disaster (66,709) by Sheila from United States [...] like Instagram page: Mariahdoingthings made a meme about the stalker lamb who caused [...] yo cancel all her meet and greets because he went postal backstage over a [...] he made. Not only is he 6 foot 3 and creepy but he does not believe he has done anything wrong. If they tell you backstage that she is scared of you and they don't like you then maybe you should go get a life or a man or a hobby. Other lambs wanted to meet [...] and he has ruined it by being a stalker and weird. I wanted to go to [...] for the meet and greet and like countless other lambs he ruined it. Go to instagram to see the comments. (Monday 26 September 2016; 11:39)

Re: Bye Bye (66,706) (66,708) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines I also saw single potential in Bye Bye, I just didn't like the time it was released. They were going for a ballad for the second single because the tempo change would make the song more distinguishable and because that formula worked really well for TEOM. But back then it just made better sense to follow TMB up with Migrate, especially since T-Pain was quite big at the time and the ostentatious use of autotune was trendy. She was also coaching at Idol that time and could have promoted it there to a much better impact. There's no telling whether a song will become a hit or not, but that would have been a stronger statement and would have made a bigger impact. Bye Bye would have done better in the fall/winter, as a follow-up to two or three successful preceding singles. (Monday 26 September 2016; 11:08)

Music Box (66,707) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Face it this is the most MOR-sounding Mariah album (at least Charmbracelet had a bit more spice), which is great for sales but not for critics. It's a great album that is weighed down mostly by the ballads towards the end but is ultimately saved by its strong singles (Dreamlover, Hero, AYNAF, NFY and Without You are simply essential). Just To Hold You Once Again and All I've Ever Wanted are basically interchangeable, so thank God for I've Been Thinking About You coming between the two. I'd rather they ditched either of those two in favor of Everything Fades Away which will make a good album closer. But since EFA was demoted to bonus track status, I wish they just put the title track at the end instead. It would have made more sense, at least to me, and would have concluded the album on a more hopeful note. (Monday 26 September 2016; 10:34)

Re: Bye Bye (66,702) (66,706) by Bill from the UK I never had an issue with Bye Bye either. When I first listened to E=MC2 I thought it would be a single as it seemed to be the baby that One Sweet Day and We Beling Together would make, and being her two biggest songs it was surprising it didn't chart higher. It was the first song of Mariah's that actually moved me to tears ("I wish that we could spend the holidays together" just struck a chord with me). (Monday 26 September 2016; 10:33)

Re: Sky Diving (The Roof Pt 2) (66,695) (66,705) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I love UUOMF though. It's such a fun and empowering song. I could have lived without the useless reprise though and I would have liked "Skydiving" to replace that. I would also have liked for "Imperfect" to stay on the album. I probably wouldn't replace any other song because I love all the songs on "Memoirs". (Monday 26 September 2016; 6:37)

Re: Why streaming matters (66,699) (66,704) by 123 from USA I don't think anyone doesn't agree that streaming isn't important. Streaming makes up for 25% of the chart position. That's why everyone has been up in arms about Mariah taking forever to release a video after a new single is launched. All that being said, the Empire song is a side project, which Mariah's team may not have complete control over the launch, video, and promo. Plus, why are we even discussing chart positions, steaming etc and the song hasn't even come out yet? Can we just enjoy new music? None of the Empire songs have really taken off so can we just enjoy it for what it is and if it take off, yay, if not, she's working on a new album and the right time will come for a proper single release.

Mariah vs. JLo fued explained video (66,703) by Susana from USA This video is everything. (Monday 26 September 2016; 6:11)

Bye Bye (66,702) by Randy from USA I am going to say this and it's gonna be controversial. I don't think Bye Bye was a bad follow up single to Touch My Body. I love the song. I love StarGate and it was a complete departure from what she had done previously as far as singles. Here's how I feel about single choices and flops. If there was some magic formula to get a #1, then everyone would have them. We don't know what the public is gonna love or hate. Artists just take a chance. PS I really love TTR and it stalled at #81. There's not a lot of rhyme or reason to a song being a hit or not. (Monday 26 September 2016; 5:44)

New song (66,701) by Haiji Toro from USA There are many songs in our lifetime to which we feel should be a hit and well known. Unfortunately, it doesn't always work that way. There can be many reasons to why it doesn't. Sometimes it's due to not enough promotion among other reasons. Let's say this new Empire song is truly amazing. It might even be well received. But let's be real, nowadays, Mariah's name and voice isn't enough to push a song up the charts on its own. She's gonna need some real heavy promotion. Take as an example, her song #Beautiful. It's a great song in all, but I felt should have been at least in the top 5 and should have had a solo version. I also think that it might not have even done that well if Miguel wasn't on it, but that's just my opinion. So anyways, whether it's "Infamous" or an actual album first single, I believe if we as fans/lambs truly want or even care to see her back on top, we should take it upon ourselves and promote the hell out of this song. There are a good few that post daily on this message board and that's not even counting those whom read the posts daily. We all have multiple social outlets of some sort. It wouldn't hurt to copy, paste and share on a daily as we do on here. Stream, stream, stream. You don't even have to listen to it directly, just have it playing in the background. Call your radio stations, request it. Maybe there's a way to request it online to the stations as well. I really believe that she needs our help. Our girl isn't as relevant for her present music like before. I really hope I'm not wasting my time with this post. It's worth a try. We put so much time and effort into taking selfies of our filtered mugs and sometimes even what we eat. We post and share them on a daily, I'm sure we can put less effort into helping her out. Maybe another #1 is all she needs to turn that light on she once had and motivate her to make an amazing album. (Monday 26 September 2016; 2:32)

Re: Mariah at The Beacon Theatre (66,692) (66,700) by Anthony Carey from U.K Thanks for the info. Fingers crossed then we will hear some dates soon as I already have my flights booked (14th - 20th) so I need to make sure I catch at least 1 show as that's the only reason I am going. (Sunday 25 September 2016; 23:42)

Why streaming matters (66,699) by Letters From Adi from India I know some of you guys think streaming isn't a huge factor, but it is quite the contrary. For instance, Lady Gaga's Perfect Illusion debuted at #15 on Hot 100 despite being the second best selling song the week along with a radio deal. What kept her back from Top 10 was streaming. Her song is down to #117 on Spotify but is doing decently in sales and radio. It is of utmost importance that Mariah's team to get a streaming monster because if it is massive in streaming, sales and radio would follow too. (Sunday 25 September 2016; 23:13)

Voice (66,696) by Tameka walker from United states I had made an earlier post but not everything got posted as I was saying Mariah has a awesome unbelievable voice. I think there are other talented singers but to me none comes close to Mariah Carey. There is only one Mariah that is why she is called the songbird supreme by the book of world Guinness. To me she is the epitome of singer. I think Christina Aguilera and Ariana Grande are talented in their own way. How ever I don't think any of these ladies comes close to a Mariah Carey talent. Not only can Mariah Carey sing circles around them but she is a prolific song. (Sunday 25 September 2016; 22:40)
