Re: Liron (65,958) (65,961) by Shezz from Pk If I remember correctly Liron was one of the people running Mariah Daily back in the day. She's female and from Israel and started working on Mariah's team quite a while ago. Seen her pic but don't have it on me. (Wednesday 7 September 2016; 15:04)

Re: Extra interview (65,950) (65,959) by darrian liu from taiwan I don't think The Weeknd would accept J.Lo's invitation if she asks him to collaborate. This is the guy that outright rejected a song from one of the biggest producers in the world, Max Martin and actually wrote together with him instead of accepting a pre-made, almost surefire hit. The Weeknd is somebody who values his work and won't drag his art down by collaborating with J.Lo. (Wednesday 7 September 2016; 13:55)

Liron (65,958) by Shirley from United States Hey guys, I've been searching the web for a few hours now trying to find out who Liron is and if he/she works with Mariah. And what he/she looks like, and let me say I've been unsuccessful in my search. I knew the only place I could get a straight answer or a picture of he/she? Would be here, I hope you guys can help.

Re: Extra interview (65,950) (65,957) by Licia from USA I haven't watched the interview so I'm just going off what you said. I'm glad that Taraji and Mariah are being respectful to each other in the press. Even it there are issues, they are not dragging it out publicly to make each other look bad.

Mariah's face (65,956) by Natalia from Italy I just can't believe how different she looks. Her face was so beautiful and perfect as it was. What happened? It's so sad to me. She was the last person I expected to alter their appearance. I hope she stops whatever the procedure is. Please don't follow in Joan Rivers footsteps. (Wednesday 7 September 2016; 4:52)

Re: Duet With Ja Rule prevented a sophomore slump (65,936) (65,955) by 123 from USA Well then the brainless one would be you since you replied to my post and were going on a few weeks ago about how she couldn't have known. Copying ideas to sabotage by releasing the songs before and when Loverboy was released to block its #1 potential is different from the label not initially giving credit to the original composers in the early 90's when sampling was still a new concept. Who couldn't hear Best Of My Love or I Want To Thank You in those songs? It was obvious. The difference is Sony compensated the original composers where Mariah was left scrambling to re-record and the borrower of ideas has yet to tell the truth or at least compensate her financially. Nonsense is trying to say both scenarios are the same, but then again, nonsense has been your platform since you arrived on the board. (Wednesday 7 September 2016; 2:27)

If We (65,954) by lil star from untied states I never knew all the drama behind the song (I didn't have much Internet access back then). I did always like the song when Glitter came out, and noticed the similar sound and theme to "I'm real". You have to wonder what could have been if Mariah had been able to put the song out first. It would have been a hit for sure and got its rightfully credit for creating a sound. The sound of that year. But it also goes to show that Mariah can always create the next big sound. Here's hoping she gets creative again and makes another sound movement (Wednesday 7 September 2016; 1:55)

Who's the bigger diva? (65,953) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Just found this clip too, and they ask the cast of "Empire" who is the bigger diva? Mariah or Cookie? And Taraji just went ahead and praised Mariah a lot. I'm glad these are being addressed head on. Leaves absolutely zero space for drama and rumors. We need all the good promo we can get. (Wednesday 7 September 2016; 1:34)

Re: A disertation on being negative (65,946) (65,952) by Licia from USA Excellent points Deedre. Randy you better not stop posting. I don't agree with all of what you said, but I respect it. You always post your thoughts respectfully. Even when you are being critical it's never done so in a way to be malicious towards Mariah or any other members here. (Wednesday 7 September 2016; 1:34)

Extra interview (65,950) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I absolutely loved her interview with Mario Lopez, here is the link. She looked so humble and excited to be there. Usually she looks like she's tired and not interested, but in this interview she's practically bouncing in her chair, looking excited and all. It's so cute. I love that she was answering him excitedly and that she said she is working on songs, after which she will go on the road to "reveal" these. Which gives me some hope that maybe they have a good promo planned. She was asked about The Weeknd again and she answered it nicely, without giving anything away (ugh it scares me that The Weeknd is being brought up in so many of her interviews, because as much as I would love a collaboration, I'm scared JLo might rush a song with The Weeknd and release it before Mariah, which would lead to Mariah trash the Weeknd collaboration and we'd never get to hear it). Overall this is the Mariah I'd like to see in interviews. Where she sounds excited about her projects and she has the "diva moments" but it's balanced out with her sweet and humble nature. I also love that she explicitly said "Taraji is the star of the show". Because there were rumors before and there might be new rumors in the days to come that Mariah was difficult to work with or they might try to spin it like Mariah was hogging the spotlight, so it's great that it came straight out of her mouth that Taraji is the star of the show. Throws the whole "Mariah is difficult" thing right out the window. (Wednesday 7 September 2016; 1:28)

Extra interview (65,949) by Butterfly from What's important to Mariah is connecting with the fans. She said it guys. The only people we are connected to are Stella and Miskha. I'm not following the Mariah Carey but a bunch of nobodies who pretend to be Mariah. Sick of it. (Tuesday 6 September 2016; 23:36)

Re: Have you heard it? (65,945) (65,948) by TJ from Norway I agree about the song, but it's hard to top Eva's version. I don't think Mariah could do that. (Tuesday 6 September 2016; 22:35)

Re: Have you heard it? / Sade (65,945) (65,947) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada I agree. I love Sting, but Eva totally brought something all hers to the song and it became something else entirely. I'd never thought of Mariah doing a cover, that could really be quite stunning. I also loooove Sade. She's an incredible artist and I love how she stays out of the public eye. Her albums are very soulful and relaxing. (Tuesday 6 September 2016; 19:27)

Re: A disertation on being negative (65,927) (65,946) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Randy. I just wanted to say that even though we don't agree on this subject, I'm glad you shared. I think a lot of posters aren't interested in hurling insults back and forth and it is ok to disagree respectfully and/or have a different perspective without feeling any pressure to change it. (Tuesday 6 September 2016; 18:33)

Have you heard it? (65,945) by Edward from USA I would die if Mariah covered "Fields of Gold" by Eva Cassidy. It's an originally song by Sting, but I love Eva's take on it better. So soulful. (Tuesday 6 September 2016; 17:04)

Randy, right to dream (65,944) by Edward from USA Andrew, shut up. Randy has a "right to dream". Randy, keep on posting. I relate to your frustrations, but I would suggest one thing to you: Just don't set your expectations too high or you'll keep getting disappointed. I made my peace with the fact that even if Mariah slept with all Packer's money worth of humidifiers for 12 hours a night, her voice from the 90's would still never come back. It's gone. I don't entertain the idea or fool myself anymore. I do expect great lyrics and consistent decent performances/songs. One thing that has definitely helped Mariah's voice to be consistent is practice, she's said it before and it is evident now with her Vegas gig. I wish we could go back to when you would discover an album on first play, when we would only know the first single, and Mariah would come out just to start promoting the release of new material. I remembered unwrapping the Butterfly album, only knowing about Honey and nothing else, and then discovering each track as they played on. "Bufferfly", "Close My Eyes" and "Outside" spoke to my heart. (Tuesday 6 September 2016; 16:38)

Re: Sade (65,929) (65,943) by RibbonB from USA "Love is Stronger Than Pride" is sublime, down to the last "Ahhh". Mariah could slay that. (Tuesday 6 September 2016; 15:44)

Re: Honey 9-3-16 (65,930) (65,942) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Oh. My. Gosh. She actually sung more than 60% of Honey. Must have been a good night, haha. Hope this isn't just a one off. (Tuesday 6 September 2016; 13:44)

Re: Duet With Ja Rule prevented a sophomore slump (65,933) (65,941) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Those numbers show that she actually hasn't sold well since 2002. I feel like the term "flop" is relative to an artist's overall success. In that context, whether or not an album is considered a flop highly depends on it's performance compared to how well its predecessors did. The bigger the difference, the more of a flop it is. Although we should be a bit more considerate especially in comparing albums released in different decades for obvious reasons. Rebirth was the first real time J.Lo has flopped. We can say Love? performed modestly considering how digital single sales, which was in was in full swing back then, affected how albums sold. As such, J.Lo has been flopping against her own standards since over a decade ago. To be fair, that means Mariah has flopped since 2008. E=MC2 even underperformed considering it was riding off the high of TEOM, although that's mostly on Mariah and her team for choosing the wrong singles post TMB. (Tuesday 6 September 2016; 13:29)

Re: A disertation on being negative (65,927) (65,940) by Andrew from UK Post whatever you like, Randy. It's not their website. Not their circus, not their monkeys. They dont have to read your posts. Except please stop posting about Right To Dream. It's such a terrible song lol. And I hope you are no longer struggling with sexuality issues. Be who you are. It's so totally like, like, so much more super fun than, like, not being who you are. I wrote that in American English for you. Because I'm international, y'know. (Tuesday 6 September 2016; 12:35)

Re: Morgan and Alison are emotional vamps (65,939) by Sheila from United States Total losers and emotional vampires. If I was Mariah I would disconnect totally. Horrible people. What? Mariah is supposed to give them millions to buy drugs with? Hell no. (Tuesday 6 September 2016; 12:13)

Re: Duet With Ja Rule prevented a sophomore slump (65,934) (65,938) by Sheila from United States Jennifer Lopez didn't even sing 50% of those songs - [...] did. Why does Jennifer get credit when it's not all her lead vocals? (Tuesday 6 September 2016; 12:12)

Re: Duet With Ja Rule prevented a sophomore slump (65,933) (65,936) by Andrew from UK Honestly, does anybody with a brain actually still give a shit about Mariah vs J.Lo vs Mariah? So a label allegedly had an artist copy an idea or two from another artist 15 years ago. Glitter would likely still have massively flopped. Both the the album and the film. And without the Glitter debacle you wouldn't have had Charmbracelet and thus TEOM. Has not Mariah herself admitted plagiarism by settling copyright infringement suits out of court? It could be argued that way. Some people really need to stop flicking their bean to this J.Lo nonsense. (Tuesday 6 September 2016; 12:01)

Re: Duet With Ja Rule prevented a sophomore slump (65,931) (65,935) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah's team would never be able to come up with such a clever thing. The only thing Stella can do is yell at tabloids saying "f**k off, lose my number" and that too when the attack comes her way. They can say crap about Mariah, that doesn't bother Stella as long as no one is questioning Stella and her daughter's intentions. (Tuesday 6 September 2016; 11:39)

Re: Duet With Ja Rule prevented a sophomore slump (65,933) (65,934) by Edouard from France I meant starting in 2005. She's hadn't had a hit album. Her last 5 albums went unnoticed. I mean she's sold 1.5 millions albums in the US since 2005 when Mariah has sold close to 9 millions with TEOM (6,2M since 2005), E=MC2 (1,3M since 2008), MOAIA (600k since 2009), MCIIY (600k since 2010), MIAMTEC (150k since 2014) Since 2001 Mariah's had 10 real hits (11 if you count "All I want For Christmas Is You" which has really become an international hit and a part of the Christmas Season's culture starting in 2004) Jennifer lopez has had 10 and I counted "Ain't it funny" twice (the original and the remix). Anyway, no need to compare really. Because only one of them actually penned those songs. And we all know who that one is. (Tuesday 6 September 2016; 11:12)
