#1's to Insanity (63,347) by Andrew from UK Randy, your truth is your own and your viewpoint is completely valid. Mariah has not been a singer who can pick up a microphone and just sing for many years. Asking for her to do so, to prove to the public that she actually hit those notes in the studio, is not disrespectful or "hate". Don't silence yourself in response to the mad viewpoints of those who do probably see what the public think of Mariah but choose to pretend it's not real. Listing lip-sync performances as live and then criticising other singers who are actually pulling it off is insanity. So keep posting your thoughts in the hope that Mariah snaps out of whatever it is has been going on for the past few years and becomes a professional music artist again. Only then will the Kelly Price's of the world be put into their place. And the delusional deniers have something to actually defend. (Monday 13 June 2016; 23:26)

Re: On a cute note (63,343) (63,346) by RibbonB from USA Licia, yeah, my 6 year old nephew is the same way. He just likes to say booty or butt in totally inappropriate ways and times. I think it's being shocking at that age. Silly boys, lol. And you're welcome Mimi L. I didn't want to make another post. It's great to see that they try to keep the kids feeling grounded and most certainly loved. (Monday 13 June 2016; 23:17)

Correction (63,345) by Giovanni from USA I meant to say I hope "you're" not mad. Sorry about that lol. (Monday 13 June 2016; 23:08)

Re: Billy, B, Giovanni and One Sweet Day (63,310) (63,344) by Giovanni from USA "The torch carriers from Aretha and Patti"? Seriously Randy. I can't. Neither of them come even close vocally to Aretha or Patti. And why would you bring Kelly Price in the mix? She isn't a real singer or vocalist. Her cover of Shirley Murdock's "As we lay" was just awful and lackluster. Mariah didn't look like she was struggling to me. She killed both songs and got Patti to stand up. There were also others who stood up so stop exaggerating. If I could put Jennifer Hudson against Beyonce in a vocal battle, Beyonce would more and likely end up the winner. Jennifer would get worn out fast. And Fantasia against Jessie J, Jessie would slaughter her. I hope you're mad. We both have are opinions on who is a better voice or singer.

Re: On a cute note (63,335) (63,343) by Licia from USA Yeah they are going to need to get the boobies and butts under control. Talking about doing butt stuff at school may get him in a little trouble. Lol. (Monday 13 June 2016; 22:40)

Yeah it sucks (63,342) by Randy from USA That you all think I don't like MC. I've just been critical of her live performances. I want her to sound like her records without lip syncing. I don't think that's much to ask. My last point Billy and then I am going to shut up on this topic. On My All, where did the background singers come from on her live performances of the song? There's no backgrounds on the record. Same is true with Through The Rain. But what I've really just decided is that it's foolish to try to find answers here. This is a fan board and many, like I once did, think MC was exceptional live in 98-now until others showed me what exceptionality looks like live. I don't dislike MC. I dislike fraudulence. Something traumatic happened between Daydream Tokyo in 1996 and Oprah 1997 and she ain't been quite right vocally since. And she's used backing tracks on stage and studio tricks in the studio to seem like she can still belt. It's never been addressed. But to come here and keep making the same point to whereas people think I don't like her is insanity. So I'll come here for positivity. I think MC is the greatest artist of all time and I don't want her to be known as a studio singer. I don't think any of you have any idea how the general public views her as a singer. But maybe Mimi L is right. I should stop defending her and stop trying to figure out the need for the wizard behind the curtain. Just enjoy what's been and let her legacy end up whatever it is.

Article: Mariah Carey Q&A: Visions of (unconditional) love (63,341) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Absolutely loved the interview. Such great questions and I loved Mariah's answers. They were great. (Monday 13 June 2016; 22:24)

Article: Mariah Carey Q&A: Visions of (unconditional) love (63,340) by Billy from Greece Fantastic piece. Exceptional questions. Only a fan would ask these questions and I'm so happy that there was this opportunity for him and for us. Mariah did try to have a more light or "general" approach to certain of her answers to some really excellent questions that were what many fans have been begging to ask her. But the interviewer did manage to get her around to doing a "deeper" interview of sorts, which we really haven't seen in a long time. Just great, I can't praise this piece enough.

Re: On a cute note (63,328) (63,339) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Aww thanks for informing about it, I didn't see it before. "Dembabies" are growing are just so cute and Roe Roe will grow up to be a stunner just like her mother, while Roc will be such a handsome guy, like Nick. The videos were adorable and funny. I love how Nick and Mariah put their kids first and they are such a great example. Even though the divorce ended on a bitter note, it makes me happy to see that they put it behind and do so much for the babies. (Monday 13 June 2016; 22:14)

Re: The Remixes (63,319) (63,338) by Bill from the UK I understand I Still Believe/Pure Imagination didn't make it onto the album due to copyright reasons (clearance etc) around the Pure Imagination sample. It's a real shame as it is the only major omission from the album and would have been better than all the album cuts that filled the second disc. (Monday 13 June 2016; 22:09)

Re: Repetitive Vegas show (63,322) (63,337) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter First of all, I wasn't the one complaining so ya but anyways people are only complaining about it because Mariah said she will be changing up the setlist, not just once mind you, if you would have followed her promo radio call ins, you would have known that. Secondly she has a 13 year old, not an 18 year old running her instagram (why even write something without fact checking queen? Why, I ask?), and pray tell me what fun things you spotted currently on her profile that goes with her personality/age/status as a legend. The Boomerang shots? I'm sure that is amusing to you, or the emojis? Or random pointless pictures which are not even flattering? Don't even bother, there isn't any and the captions don't even sound remotely like Mariah's. At least RaeRae or whoever did the posts before tried to keep it as close to Mariah's own when Mariah used to personally use the social media around 2009. Thirdly, since you know Mariah personally, do share with us how "Infinity" was so important for her. Before you say it was about letting Nick go, please go to Mariah's Cohen interview where she says something like "sometimes artists write songs where everything is a made up story" and Mariah has written many diss tracks/tracks about getting over exes previously, and also a whole album supposedly about Nick not being there, so I think she already had it out of her system, but of course I don't know her personally like you do. Last but certainly not the least, congrats on yet another pointless post. You are definitely on your way to set a record. (Monday 13 June 2016; 21:57)

PrideSource interview (63,336) by RibbonB from USA That is the best interview Mariah has given in a long time. Kudos to the interviewer. And my condolensces to the families of victims in the Orlando shootings. (Monday 13 June 2016; 21:51)

Re: On a cute note (63,334) (63,335) by RibbonB from USA He did. Lol they might need to tell Rocky to stop the boobies and butts fascination, or talk for a few years. (Monday 13 June 2016; 21:19)

Re: On a cute note (63,328) (63,334) by Licia from USA I saw the snapchats he posted. I got a good laugh. They are the cutest. Roe Roe rapping is hilarious. Did Roc really say we're doing butt stuff? I'm hoping I heard that wrong. Lol. (Monday 13 June 2016; 21:04)

Re: Orlando shooting (63,275) One Sweet Day (63,333) by Sheila from United States Saddest event I've ever seen in the gay community. I prayed last night for each of them and there families. To think the kids went out to celebrate pride and some didn't come home. Very very sad. Would be nice if Mariah and Boy II Men would unite to sing it one last time. (Monday 13 June 2016; 20:18)

Re: Kelly Price (63,307) is rude (63,332) by Sheila from United States Kelly Price is industry poison. Maybe she did secretly do the vocal arrangement for "Anytime you need a friend". Mariah wrote the song and made it a classic. Kelly Price at 50 years old or whatever does not have 1 classic to her name. She is a background vocalist. (Monday 13 June 2016; 20:16)

On a cute note (63,328) by RibbonB from USA Monroe is a cheerleader. Nick posted some great video on his Instagram of Roc and Roe playing and talking. Roe seems like she has more rhythm than her mom, but her voice is raspy just like her mom. Roc is a freaking comedian as Mimi has said. I'm glad the kids are funloving and playful. Ah the innocence of childhood. Mariah has said that theybare not easy, but that's parenthood. (Monday 13 June 2016; 18:52)

Mariah's new creative director (63,327) by G.G. from USA Bryan Tanaka. (Monday 13 June 2016; 18:46)

The one and only (63,326) by Edward from USA I do love Patti, Aretha, Selena, Celine, but none of them will ever accomplish this. Just the one and only, Mariah Carey. (Monday 13 June 2016; 18:44)

Re: Billy, B, Giovanni and One Sweet Day (63,310) (63,325) by Mirage_Nunez from America Yes you have been beating that dead horse for way too long and I don't get the point of your redundant, depressing, "oppressed lamb" post. Seriously you've just out grown Mariah if all you can do is come on here and cry about missing her early 90s voice and how your friends give her a hard time about not being able to sing anymore. Now you've allow edthem to sway you into spewing their sentiments all over this messageboard. And for what? If you prefer all those other singers voices over Mariah then that's fine. Whoever is the best singer to you is all subjective anyway. Mariah is still my favorite vocalist for many reasons that I'll just sum up as her voice affects me more than any other singer. It's not about one quality particular quality to me, it's about how that persons voice makes you feel. (Monday 13 June 2016; 18:16)

Re: Repetitive Vegas show (63,321) (63,324) by ADAM from USA I don't know why she couldn't sing acapella after each era of #1s. She couldn't sing some of her favorite non single songs? She's just so lazy. I love how the premise of SSFT was that she's change up her songs based on each city and yet she never did outside of Fly Like A Bird. It's funny because as much as she complains about singing the same ballads all the time, she does nothing to change it when she can. (Monday 13 June 2016; 18:13)

Re: Billy, B, Giovanni and One Sweet Day (63,310) (63,323) by B from USA Randy, Kelly isn't the only singer that did backing vocals on those songs. I just looked and my copies say Mariah also sang backing vocals. (Monday 13 June 2016; 17:57)

Re: Repetitive Vegas show (63,321) (63,322) by QueenLambassador from Portugal I find it interesting (and here I go again disagreeing with the majority) that Mariah is the only artists alive that can have a show with only number one songs and still people are not pleased. If the show is called "Number one's" then I think she can't change the set list that much. It's repetitive? Yes it is, but it's 18 number one songs, from which 17 are self penned tunes. Second point: Mariah has an 18 year old running her instagram. I ask why? Because she posts fun carefree stuff? I think some people are so concerned with Mariah's life that they forget to take care of their own. Thrid point: Crapfinity? What is that even? People don't understand the importance of Infinity for Mariah. Why should she remove it? Some just dont have any respect for Mariah the person, all you care about is the next number one, the next album, the next hit, without thinking about the person behind all those hits. That's why Mariah will come back stronger and slap you all in the face. (Monday 13 June 2016; 17:44)

Re: Repetitive Vegas show (63,320) (63,321) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha "Crapfinity" I can't. But if I'm not mistaken, I heard her say she might replace "Infinity" with some other songs for different shows when she called in to the radio interviews. So I was surprised that she is continuing with"Infinity". (Monday 13 June 2016; 17:05)

Re: Repetitive Vegas show (63,316) (63,320) by Licia from USA In all fairness when it comes to the Vegas show we honestly should not have expected much to change with the setlist because it's centered around her number 1's and Crapfinity. You should have known that when she said there would be changes to the Vegas show that she meant outfits. Lol. Now the SSFT is another story. There was so much she could have done. With the catalog that she has there could have been a better variety of songs. (Monday 13 June 2016; 16:52)
