Re: Mariah's tan (66,622) (66,624) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Did she? I remember her saying that she makes her own mixture of products that she uses as skin care. She said she mixes a lot of stuff together to keep her skin in good condition. Then she went on to say that she might consider selling her mixture in the future. She might have talked about the spray tan, I can't remember. Her TEOM tan was fine, the TAOM tan was orange though. (Friday 23 September 2016; 15:18)

Re: Empire song update (66,613) (66,623) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines It better be good. One thing's cemented, though. When it comes to producers, Mariah will always go for familiarity over risk. I guess she has this, "if it ain't broke don't fix it" mantra. Sure, nothing is broke, but Mariah, just so you know, othe producers exist too. This conscious decision to stay in your comfort zone is just killing creativity and possibly even your social skills. When are you ever gonna get out of this box that has confined you since 2005? (Friday 23 September 2016; 15:15)

Re: Mariah's tan (66,612) (66,622) by B from USA During TEOM era and TAOM tour wasn't she using a spray made of gold? Wasn't she also planning to release it or something? (Friday 23 September 2016; 14:06)

Re: New photos (66,614) (66,621) by Luke from United Kingdom Also her hair is on point at the minute. It looks so much like it did in 1997 where she still had her natural brown but with golden highlights. (Friday 23 September 2016; 13:45)

Re: Your own private concert (66,576) (66,620) by Norman from USA 1) AYNAF (C&C club mix) full version - It forever lifts my spirits. 2) The Roof - It's a must. Period. 3) Where Are You Christmas - I need to hear her version of this. 4) Side Effects - So different from her. Real. 5) Looking In - Without the cracked ribs and arm sling Jeff, picking just 5 was very difficult. (Friday 23 September 2016; 12:57)

Re: What is Mariah's most under-rated song (66,617) (66,618) by Bill from the UK Ribbon is indeed brilliant and was my fave on Memoirs upon first listen. It is my most played track from the album. I think Fantasy is her most underrated though, especially the remix, as it completely changed the shape of music to come ever since. It is literally up there with "Rock Around the Clock" for how much it ushered in a new sound and changed the landscape of pop music. Only a handful of critics have ever picked up on its importance and sadly it probably won't be until long after we're all dead and buried that Mariah and the song get the recognition it so deserves. The same came really be said for Vision Of Love, in that it popularised the melismic singing style and has affected and influenced every female R&B singer since. Girls don't try to sing in a straightforward fashion like Karen Carpenter anymore, they go all out with trills and licks like Mariah did. The only song of hers that gets its dues is AIWFCIY, and rightly so. A genius song. I could write for days about it. (Friday 23 September 2016; 12:22)

Re: What is Mariah's most under-rated song (66,615) (66,617) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Ribbon. People just don't understand how much it stands out in her catalog. Even worse, they take it for granted because by the time it came out, a lot were already sick of her hip-hop influenced songs. I swear it must have only been brought up in this board 4 times in the past 3 years, and 2 of them was probably because I posted about it. A lot of tracks from 2013-2015 that were radio hits have this vibe similar to it. The fact that it came out at least 4 years prior proves that Mariah has good ideas, they just sometimes come too early (Glitter, anyone?). Which also means she is actually quite the visionary - a very underrated one at that. (Friday 23 September 2016; 12:04)

Re: New photos (66,614) (66,616) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines It's not all about flaunting the body. It's about leaving something to the imagination, which in her case, there's little to be left anyway because I feel like she has showed more skin in 2016 than all the 25 years that came before combined. That loose white dress is gorgeous on her. This proves that sexy doesn't have to be synonymous with skin-tight or skimpy. (Friday 23 September 2016; 11:50)

What is Mariah's most under-rated song (66,615) by Sheila from United States I think it would be All I Ever Wanted. (Friday 23 September 2016; 11:38)

New photos (66,614) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter MC looked like a Greek goddess in this gown on the beach. If anyone wants individual pictures I can post it, I thought of just posting the collage so that Eric doesn't have to approve too many links. She was glowing and looked genuinely happy.

Empire song update (66,613) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So Mariah's song in Empire is produced by Mariah, JD and Brian M. Cox. While I really enjoy Mariah's collaborations with JD, I don't get why she didn't work with the producers working on Empire's music. I think it's Rodney Jerkins and Ne-Yo now. I would have loved a Timbaland track but I heard he won't be coming back for Season 3. Ah well, we'll see what we get in 1 week. I'm excited. (Friday 23 September 2016; 10:09)

Re: Mariah's tan (66,601) (66,612) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The 24K gold spray tan was for the "Triumphant" video. The TEOM era tan was still fine, although I much rather prefer her to be just her natural self. I think it makes her look much younger. Her #Beautiful era tan was good too. But ya the TEOM era one was still fine but she surely isn't using what she did back then because every time she got tan recently it's straight up orange and splotchy. Haha it baffles me with all the money Mariah still chooses the worst tan and clothes. Like look at how orange they make her. This is another example. Compare it to this where she is in her natural tone and she looks much more radiant and younger. (Friday 23 September 2016; 9:55)

Sade - Is It A Crime (66,608) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines If there's anything good that came out of Mariah's Vegas residency, it's that it has somehow improved her vocals as well as her overall performing skills as she went on. Still, there's always room for further improvement. Just wanted to share this if you still haven't watched this. It's one of my favorite Sade songs which she performed live in 2011 while on tour promoting the Soldier Of Love album. Her stage presence is just incredible. She really doesn't do or run around much, the stage and lighting are simple and there's no one there but her and the band, but honey does she know how to turn up the drama. She's just such an classy yet badass performer. And please watch it until the end because that is how you end a performance with a bang. And did I mention she was 52 at the time? Exactly. I guess Mariah could learn a thing of two from her and her minimalist approach. (Friday 23 September 2016; 5:09)

Your own private concert / new era 2016 (66,607) by Bobby A from United States 1. Whenever You Call - duet Brian McKnight 2. Faded 3. Slipping Away 4. Without You 5. H.A.T.E U. 6. Inseparable - remix with Trey Songz As far as the new era, I am excited about Infamous, duet with the Weekend, Mariah's World, and the new album (hopefully released before Thanksgiving). I love Jermaine Dupri's work with Mariah and other artists, but I hope she does not let his production overtake the feel of her next album. Only time will tell so I only hope for a cohesive body of work that will put her back at the top of the charts. (Friday 23 September 2016; 5:08)

Re: Your own private concert (66,593) (66,602) by Merr Hasenan from Malaysia Agree with you. The song is on my "must-have list", it is better than Infinity. If I can ask Mariah to add one more song for her to perform in my private concert, I want her to sing All I've Ever Wanted. (Friday 23 September 2016; 3:33)

Re: Mariah's tan (66,596) (66,601) by B from USA I'm taking about her tan during TEOM era. The golden tan. Wasn't it a spray made with 24 K gold? (Friday 23 September 2016; 3:30)
