Re: MC (62,025) (62,041) by Martyn from England, UK It is sad yet predictable that Ian from the United Kingdom would use my name at this time to reinvent past incidents for his own promotional gain. It is in my heart to forgive and I will keep him in my prayers. (I'm joking, I don't actually care, and I'm done with the drama and will resume only posting about Mariah-related things from now on.)

Re: Memoirs (62,024) (62,040) by Andrew from UK Whilst (what's that word?) I appreciate your candour, don't you find Memoirs boring? E=MC2 is much more entertaining. Memoirs is like one long boring song. (Thursday 12 May 2016; 9:52)

Re: MC (62,025) (62,039) by Andrew from UK I'm happy you used my name to get your thumbs up. Post something interesting and I'll go back to stroking my ego? [censored] (Thursday 12 May 2016; 9:50)

Re: Memoirs (62,024) (62,038) by Lara from Middle East That's funny cause i also listened to MOIA today and thought there's somd good songs that didn't get the love they deserve. H.A.T.E U (that video was a crime), Betcha Gonna Know. If you notice on YouTube, Angels Cry is surprisingly one of the most viewed videos of Mariah. But what really made this album special is the mini-magazine included in it. (Thursday 12 May 2016; 8:55)

Drama (62,037) by Stacey from USA I've been posting online since the Charmbracelet era. The same thing happens no matter what MC fan site I visit. 1) There will always be those who think they can say whatever they want sitting behind a computer screen. 2) There will always be those fans who think they are judge and jury when it comes to who is a fan and who is not. 3) There will always be those who take a difference of opinion as a personal attack. Bottom line: The three things I've mentioned will never change no matter how many times you try to advise those fans otherwise. The sooner you realize these fans will never change, the better off you'll be. Ignoring is the best advice I can give. I choose to respond and discuss with those who don't buy into the drama. If someone attacks me, I don't even bother responding. I read on. It's that simple. Peace. (Thursday 12 May 2016; 7:18)

Re: MC (62,025) (62,036) by Stacey from USA Just a thought, Ian. Leave Diedre alone. She's about as fair minded as you'll get around here. I don't post as much with all the drama like you. But just want to give a shout out to my friend here who shouldn't be lumped with the other names you mentioned. (Thursday 12 May 2016; 7:09)

Re: Taylor Swift Award? (62,004) (62,035) by BIGGEST MC FAN from UNITED STATES It's Mariah's own fault. She ruined her own image and gave up promoting herself. Taylor Swift has worked very hard in letting everyone know that she writes her own songs. Btw, Taylor Swift's albums are very well written from top to bottom and are very catchy while many of Mariah's songs are filled with cliches and a lot of them are cringy fillers. Taylor Swift is changing and evolving as an artist and is working with new people and trying new things. Mariah stopped growing as an artist after Butterfly. After that it's been the same material from her, which is why she has lost most of her fans. At the end of the day it's Mariah's fault as to why she lost her voice and is not respected like other artists. I still love her though. (Thursday 12 May 2016; 5:51)

Re: Memoirs (62,028) (62,034) by Ty from USA Candy Bling, HATEU, Betcha Gon Know (should of had an epic video) was dramatic and painful, it could have saved this cd. Extremely underrated. (Thursday 12 May 2016; 4:31)

Re: MC (62,025) (62,033) by darrian liu from taiwan I agree that music should be the main focus here. However, I wouldn't discredit the power of fashion and makeup. Nowadays, it's an integral part of branding and marketing (you'll get really good press even if you're just strolling around with a banging outfit). Whatever helps Mariah repair her image, whether fashion, makeup and good interviews, I'm all for it. (Thursday 12 May 2016; 3:41)

Mishka (62,032) by SM from Citizen of the World I think that's her name lol. Mariah must have fired her because we have no new tweets this month. Ahahahaha. (Thursday 12 May 2016; 3:36)

Re: Memoirs (62,024) (62,031) by Licia from USA I actually thought I disliked Memoirs until another fan asked me what songs I listened to from the album and I named dang near the whole album. Lol. I think the remix album that got shelved made me give Memoirs another shot. I already loved HATEU and Impossible, but when the remixed songs got leaked I started to enjoy it more and I went back and listened to the original songs. I was so ready for that remix album though. This is the only regular Mariah album that I didn't buy and I really regret it because I didn't give the album a fair chance for some unknown reason. I love HATEU, The Impossible, Ribbon, Candy Bling, Up Out My Face remix, Angels Cry remix, Inseparable, I Want to Know What Love Is, and Obsessed. I really think I named the whole album or more than half. Lol. (Thursday 12 May 2016; 2:54)

"Opinions are like a*******, everybody has one" (62,030) by Haiji Toro from USA, SOUTH FLORIDA I rarely post anything on this site, I just like to read the articles for any new updates regarding Mariah's music. I also enjoy this messageboard on occasions. I've been a fan/lamb since her debut and a fan of MCA since her Butterfly days. It's great to see so many people of different cultures, backgrounds, races, genders and personalities share a somewhat similar love or passion as I do. Yet, as if I'm still stuggling with feeling on the "outside", now just constantly defending an amazing singer. I choose to respect other's opinions and beliefs, but like I see with religion and everything else in life, no need to push it unto others, I have my own. We all view her in our own ways, but it doesn't change that we really "don't know her" personally and the reasons to why she is and does as she pleases. At the end of the day, isn't the main reason we love her is her music? I used to be so "obsessed" (sorry, can't help it), that I wouldn't listen to radio when she'd release new music, unless it was her song, just so no one else had a chance at #1, but those days are long gone. Then I grew up and had my own life to obsess over. So the moral of this story is, feel free to state your own opinion, as to also respect others with their own. Even if they're being negative. It's easier to ignore and move along, then to entertain it and ware out your thumbs (as I'm doing with this long and winded post). Don't forget, we also don't personally know each other, how can you put emotion to words, without knowing the personality behind it? Last but not least, who cares what she wants to do with her life and how she portrays herself? Her music is what brought us here. Mariah as a person doesn't define me nor it pays my bills. It's her music that gives me what I want, what my ears crave. C'mon MC. Replenish these ears of mine. Good day to all. God bless. (Thursday 12 May 2016; 2:43)

Re: MC (62,025) (62,029) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada I actually agree with a lot of what you've said Ian. I don't know Mariah. She inspires me a lot. Her music in a lot of ways has been the soundtrack to my life. I could see aspects of myself in her music and in how she is as a person to some extent but I don't know her. Her choices are not my business. So, having a whole laundry list of opinions about her and her life, doesn't mean much at all in that respect. She still going to do whatever she decides whether I'm into her career and her persona or have an opinion about it or not. Will she change her image? I've no freaking clue. What I do know is if Mariah wanted to project a different public image, that's what she'd be doing. Am I comfortable letting my "girls" out for the world to view etc? Nope. Not my thing. But I also don't think it's my place to judge anyone. That's not my place. Again, my opinion so those who don't agree with that, grain of salt, right? (Thursday 12 May 2016; 2:11)

Re: Memoirs (62,024) (62,028) by B from USA I also love Candy Bling, H.A.T.E.U., and Angels Cry. (Thursday 12 May 2016; 1:33)

Re: MC (62,025) (62,027) by B from USA I agree. I think spending so much time (too much) dissecting what she says or does is harmful. She's human and she's not perfect. Some fans and critics hold unrealistic expectations. (Thursday 12 May 2016; 1:31)

Re: B from USA (61,948) (62,026) by B from USA I didn't know that it was a common word. I was just a question. It was an insult or diss and I'm sorry you took it that way. (Thursday 12 May 2016; 1:28)

MC (62,025) by Ian from United Kingdom Dipped in and out of this site for many years but seems like it's all about personalities and egos recently (Andrew, Deidre aka Martyn, Mimi L etc.). I first came here for the love of music that came from MC but it's so boring now with all the fashion, make-up and Stella related stuff. Let's concentrate on the musical output (when it happens) and ditch all the crap that doesn't actually matter, you don't actually know her, as much as you would like to think you do and she does not listen to or care what you write about her, Mariah lives in a bubble, sad but true and kinda expected. I'm sure she will release some good (maybe even great) material in the future but in the meantime we just have to keep it together and support without making a mess on a site she doesn't really care about. (Thursday 12 May 2016; 1:03)

Memoirs (62,024) by Anthony Basco from Cardiff, Wales So I listened to Memoirs again today for the first time in a long time - I realise I'd forgotten just how brilliant that album is. There are some incredible songs on that album, HateU, Candy Bling, Ribbon, It's A Wrap, Languishing and Angels Cry. I found myself very very moved by Angels Cry today. It's so beautiful and heartfelt. Mariah truly does have the best catalogue of any artist I know. Here's to new music from the artist we all of us here love. (Thursday 12 May 2016; 1:03)

Re: Looking at MCA like... (61,992) (62,023) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Moving on. The deer eating popcorn is adorable. If people have their minds already made up around what is considered "positive" and what is considered overly "negative" there isn't much room for flexibility is there? Lol. Just because we don't always agree on opinions doesn't stop opinions. Me? I find the personal attacks a bit much at times, but hey, that's an opinion. We can all lighten up some. It wouldn't hurt anything, it's just a freaking messageboard. Lol. (Wednesday 11 May 2016; 23:03)

Re: RJJ12 (61,974) (62,022) by QueenLambassador from Portugal If the admin of the page doesn't aim for balance how can other people be balanced? He even stops posting stuff that attacks him because he might think I might be right lol. Whatever. (Wednesday 11 May 2016; 22:19)

Re: Taylor Swift (62,016) (62,021) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha Giovanni I adore you for telling it like it is. I agree, I gave Taylor credit because some of her songs are nice and she is actually one of the rare singers nowadays who actually is involved in the writing process of her songs. But I do believe she is overestimated and over hyped. She is kinda stuck in her high school days which reflects in her song (which are mostly teenage love stuff, but hey that might be her business trick) and her school yard Mean Girls squad vibes. (Wednesday 11 May 2016; 21:59)

Re: Negativity (62,015) (62,020) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Don't even bother G, there will always be someone coming up deciding who are "lambs" and "haters". I have started ignoring such comments. We can write a 100 good things about Mariah but 1 bad thing will apparently turn fans into haters. It's because Mariah has so many enablers like these around, her who are too scared to call her out on her mistakes is a huge reason why her image is where it is now. People think a legacy can't be tarnished but it isn't true. Image is very important in show business. The main goats are the people who see Mariah making a mess out her image and then proceed to encourage/praise her for these. Real fans will be there for her but also call her out so that she knows what she is doing is not very pleasant to watch. Maybe even she doesn't know how her image is being portrayed because sometimes we need an outside opinion because we might not know what we are doing is looking odd/bad. Since her management won't tell her, the lambs should. No matter how many new "true lambs" spring out like mushrooms and think they are doing Mariah a favor by shutting down healthy criticism. Those people need to grow up and realize, Mariah is human, not God. So she does make mistakes, which she should be made aware of. (Wednesday 11 May 2016; 21:49)

Re: I love GIFs more than life itself (62,009) (62,019) by Marissa from USA Exactly. If someone's against negativity then they should post something positive and let it speak for itself rather than scolding people as if that arouses feel-good emotions. (Wednesday 11 May 2016; 21:05)

Re: Wendy interview (62,010) (62,018) by ADAM from USA I think with all the trash Wendy talks about Mariah it's purely business. If you've listened to the 2 radio interviews Wendy had with Mariah in NYC in 03 and 05, they clearly have a good rapport and love girl talk. Mariah gets Wendy's subliminal digs and throws shade right back at her. I just hope that whatever Mariah is promoting eventually makes it way to the Wendy show for a good interview. Fingers crossed. (Wednesday 11 May 2016; 20:56)

Re: WWHL (62,008) (62,017) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Oh, congrats to Celine. I don't understand then why is Mariah even making an appearance. If Celine is being given the Icons Award, Britney will also receive a special award, Madonna will give a tribute to Prince, then what exactly is Mariah's role? Man I need inside info.
