eke Wyatt - Lie Under You (official music video) (63,952) by 123 from USA I would like Mariah to record a ballad like this one. This song sounds timeless, a simple but beautiful vocal, and nice lyrics. It sounds slightly country influenced which is a genre I would like her to explore at least on one song on the next album.

Re: Wow (63,938) (63,951) by Mara from United States Marissa, thank you for that. You composed a response that sums it up very eloquently. I don't think any of us lose any sleep over what Mariah does at all, nor do we live our lives around her. Mariah has always had that close connection with her fans especially the ones that saw her through some of those dark times she went through and rose back from. I will always support her because it comes down to the music and no outfit will ever take away the memories and how her albums take me back to where I was in life. I guess we are just missing some of that and don't need other fans to tell us to "give up on her" or take a break or whatever else was said. One thing about Mariah's fans is we are very diverse. Where one thinks the outfits are "hot and she slayed" others like the classier look, sound whatever. Some like "hoodryiah" as they say on social media. It's very diverse. After 26 years though I won't be told to move on if I don't always agree with what an artist does. And certainly if I feel worried about someone, just like my family, I would say it. Why does this board tend to make the ones who do worry, feel somewhat like the "uncool" people who don't know how to have fun? I don't know, maybe these "fans" are right, maybe we should not care so much anymore. (Wednesday 29 June 2016; 17:33)

Re: Close My Eyes (63,948) (63,950) by B from USA How does wearing an outfit (someone probably picked out for her) mean she's on the verge of a nervous breakdown? I didn't like her ensemble but this is a little much. (Wednesday 29 June 2016; 16:34)

Re: The negative comments are... (63,933) (63,949) by Tyler from USA I'm so with you on this one. I love MC and agree that outfit was too much. I am a fan but I don't agree with everything she does, say or wear. With that being said, saying someone doesn't love God or isn't fit to be a mother to her child is too much. How do you know she doesn't have a relationship with God? These are the same hypocritical folks that gives Christians a bad name. We all have opinions but when fans start to become therapist and jump to allegations it's honestly disgusting. (Wednesday 29 June 2016; 16:18)

Close My Eyes (63,948) by Andrew from UK "Nearing the edge, oblivious I almost fell right over. Thank God that I woke up in time." Has Mariah fallen over the edge this time? Or will she wake up? For so long I've been relating my belief that Mariah is consistently making bad career choices and is on a race to the bottom that she is intent on winning. And, also, that I believe lambs and fans alike should be telling Mariah what they can realistically see and not what they want to believe they can see. If Mariah "doesn't give a sh*t about [her fans]" then the race is already won. I'm sure she gives a shit deep down for those who are sticking by her. But whether they stick by her will depend on whether she has fallen over the edge or will, indeed, wake up in time. (Wednesday 29 June 2016; 15:23)

Re: Vanity 6 outfit (63,939) (63,947) by Edouard from France Haha yeah I understand. Your post makes me laugh (really). The thing is that Mariah has one career with many chapters. To be honest I was surprised by the outfit, but not shocked. Amused. It's fun and carefree. In a way Mariah is a rockstar. I feel that it's "a little too much", yet I don't find it trashy because Mariah never gives me that vibe. I feel like she's playing dress up and has fun with it. She's being true to her spirit: grown ass woman with a child's heart. I get that. (Wednesday 29 June 2016; 15:03)

Re: TMZ (63,935) (63,945) by RibbonB from USA Yes, I was talking about the beer allegations. By mentioning that incident, I was just alluding to the fact that people in life have often interjected their sense of reality into Mariah's world and her sense of reality. Whether it's a rogue nurse vying for attention, or an ex "friend" trying to sell a tell all, Mariah has been affected by disgruntled people trying to shake her world. So adding images and drama is like fodder for the rumor mills plus they can get too real in ones's real life. But Mariah is gonna do Mariah and fans are gonna fan and haters gonna hate and potatoes gonna potate. As always, I wish Mariah and her children the best. (Wednesday 29 June 2016; 14:48)

Team and image (63,944) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I seriously think Mariah needs a strong team. Not telling her to fire Stella, Stella can either handle selective things or stay as friends with Mariah but for in order revamp her image and focus of her music, Mariah needs a well established team. Someone with experience in the music industry and someone who can clean up her image and take the focus off her personal life and on her voice and professional life. Mariah has been giving consistent good performances all this time since last year, yet the focus is on her swearing at the paps, showing up almost naked to her party and all the negative things. Stella unfortunately gives more fire to this by posting these on her instagram and clapping back at small tabloids. We don't need the drama. What Mariah does in her private life is surely just her business and I have no problem with that. But all the recent public attention grabbing antics are going to eventually ruin her status. So it's best to get a good publicist and management. Who is her publicist at the moment? Does she even have one? (Wednesday 29 June 2016; 13:08)

Re: Wow (63,938) (63,943) by Licia from USA Marissa you've said a lot and hit all the points. Being a fan in no way means I have to love everything she does. She looked horrible and I won't not say anything because I'm a fan of her music. If you're ok with it then continue to support it, but none of us should have to pretend like we're ok with it if we aren't. Anyway eventually we will move passed this as we always do. She does something crazy and we fuss about it. Then she does something great and we go back to praising her. All is good in the lambily until she messes up again. Never ending cycle. Lol. (Wednesday 29 June 2016; 12:51)

Re: Wow (63,938) (63,942) by Terna from Nigeria Wow, thank you Marissa, someone had to say that, and I'm glad you did, with such eloquence and grace. I have been a Mariah Carey fan unapologetically for 21 years now (1995). And see her as family and trust me when I say Mariah doesn't want to piss ones like me off to the point where we write her off permanently. Without the fans, who are you celebrity to? (Wednesday 29 June 2016; 12:26)

Re: Wow (63,938) (63,941) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Damn Marissa, your posts are fire. Seriously, I agree with all the things you are posting. I too scoffed at the "Mariah doesn't care about you" argument like it's something Mariah or the "real lambs" should be proud of. (Wednesday 29 June 2016; 11:48)

Re: Wow (63,938) (63,940) by Musti from UK You nailed it Marissa. I also don't understand some lambs who constantly advise others to go take a chill pill. It's not like I'm losing sleep over any of this. But the reason I am frustrated is because I am a hardcore fan. I am not ashamed of caring about her and her career, and I won't have a** licking lambs hanging me for it. (Wednesday 29 June 2016; 11:08)

Re: Vanity 6 outfit (63,936) (63,939) by Licia from USA The thing with Vanity 6 was that was what they wore from the very beginning of their career. The shocker was when Vanity found Jesus and decided to no longer dress like that or perform secular music. Lol. (Wednesday 29 June 2016; 10:40)

Re: Wow (63,923) (63,938) by Marissa from USA I find it interesting that you are using "Mariah doesn't care what you all think" as a way to silence critics, but how does it not disturb you that you are a fan of someone who truly doesn't give a f*** about you or what the lambs at large think? How are you presenting the fact that Mariah no longer cares about us as a badge of honor when she used to be one of the few celebrities that had a deep, ride or die connection with her fans? I've said it once and I'll say it again. The fans are the reason Mariah is worth $500+ million, has 18 #1s and has sold hundreds of millions of albums. It will be a cold day in hell before I feel like I'm a worthless peasant who has no place to speak. Mariah is doing us a favor by continuing to be active in her career but we are also doing her a favor by continuing to support it. This entire process is mutual. You can't have one without the other. I understand being annoyed with the influx of critical messages on here because I think at this point we've all made our point that the outfit was a mess and then some and it's probably time to chill, but to minimize our worth as fans when a lot of us have been holding her down since 1990 is extremely insulting and inaccurate. I'm not trying to be mean, but it really bothers me to see that other fans have lowered their standards for her to the point where they can be totally cool with Mariah giving no thought to the lambs' perspective especially when a lot of us are coming from a place of genuine concern and think that's the way loyal fans should be treated. It isn't right and shouldn't be accepted as normal. (Wednesday 29 June 2016; 8:51)

Re: Mariah memorabilia collectors (63,920) (63,937) by Gabe from USA Dahling I collect Mariah check out my Instagram @gabe_ooc4mc. Also here is a link to my collection in YouTube. Enjoy. (Wednesday 29 June 2016; 7:54)

Vanity 6 outfit (63,936) by Edouard from France Sheila E and Vanity 6 came out in 1982 with the same outfit. It wasn't such a big deal then. Almost 35 years ago. Get the reference please. She gave us legs, and less cleavage. She knows what she's doing. Plus it's 1Oak. I mean. Come on and smile people, just like she is. (Wednesday 29 June 2016; 6:09)

Re: TMZ (63,913) (63,935) by Chris from United States RibbonB, I'm not quite sure I've heard about this incident with the authorities being involved, after she had them. Are you talking about the Guinness story, where a nurse called the police, or was there something else that happened? (Wednesday 29 June 2016; 5:34)

The negative comments are... (63,933) by Ty from USA Bleak as hell. It's like this board finds any negative little thing and the lambs go to the extreme. It's like your world ended. She's lost. She needs God. She doesn't love James. She lipped the bridge. She's dressed like a stripper. Blah blah first and foremost you all need to go get laid, examine your own life, ducktape your fingers together until you stop typing negative hateful messages about this imperfect human 46 year old woman. (Wednesday 29 June 2016; 4:20)

Re: Mariah memorabilia collectors (63,920) (63,932) by Adam from Usa I am a very serious collector. Why do you ask? (Wednesday 29 June 2016; 3:56)

Re: Mariah memorabilia collectors (63,920) (63,931) by Chicago Lamb from USA Yes, what do you need? I have it all. (Wednesday 29 June 2016; 2:43)

Re: Wow (63,923) (63,930) by Musti from UK Your post makes no sense, so it's hard to respond to. I'll say this though. Leave my connection to Mariah and her music to me. You worry about praising her every mistake to the moon and back. If I ever feel like it's time to quit her, I definitely won't need your advice on the matter. I'm not the first one who's been let down by some of Mariah's or her team's poor decisions and I'm sure I won't be the last. (Wednesday 29 June 2016; 2:40)

Her music will always be loved round these parts (63,929) by Licia from USA I'm disappointed about her latest antic for attention, but she always seems to pull me back in the with music. My love for her music will never change. At this point if I can get over her releasing Crapfinity, I can get over anything. Lmao. (Wednesday 29 June 2016; 2:33)

Judgements (63,928) by enwar00 from usa Whatever. (Wednesday 29 June 2016; 2:27)

Essence Festival (63,927) by Licia from USA Anybody going to the Essence Fest? I need video and pics please and thank you. Still bummed I can't go. (Wednesday 29 June 2016; 1:31)

I get it (63,926) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Ok I get it, an overwhelming majority hated MC's club outfit. But all this assuming where her head space is or what is going to happen next is a bit much for me. Honestly this woman has given us so much where right now she can retire and say since I am no longer appreciated or all most of fans do is complain about everything I do why should I even record or tour anymore. Honestly MC has made the history books, toured, and lived her dream with children, and a soon to be new husband she can just hang up the mic and heels for good and I am sure a lot of us will be bummed. So I say let's appreciate our girl while we still can. (Wednesday 29 June 2016; 0:28)
