Re: If Mariah has another Nr 1 (62,237) (62,244) by Merr Hasenan from Malaysia How about if Mariah has two more number one singles? The Beatles' fans will going beserk. That's going to be the news of the decade. (Monday 16 May 2016; 16:35)

Re: Rhianna, a legend? (62,229) (62,243) by Merr Hasenan from Malaysia Legend means a person of extraordinary accomplishment and I bet Riri has her own things but comparing her achivement to Mimi - dare I say, it hurts me and the rest of us here. Mimi's legacy is not just her music but the impact of her catalogue to our lives. I'm a lamb from day one and like most of us here, I have that tendency to get super mad when somebody just ignore her influence. For more than 20 years (I am 41, very old huh), Mimi's music plays an important role and helps me through my darkest phase in my life. Sure I love Umbrella, Diamond and Pon De Replay but they are not Hero, AYNA and Butterfly. Maybe I should listen to Work, who knows Riri could change my life with her anti-bra video. For the time being, I can count legends with one hand: Mariah, Celine, Janet and Riri, she is on the other hand. Peace. (Monday 16 May 2016; 16:30)

Re: You people coming for Bey, Riri and other singers (62,218) (62,242) by Victoria from USA unfortunately You look like a very mean chick. That's really the photo you're gonna display? You look like an angry disinvited bridesmaid who thought her and her make up we're going clubbing. In ten years none of those "RiRi" songs will be remembered except for Umbrella because it's so annoying. "Diamonds". Shine bright like a diamond. So ridiculous. Diamonds don't even shine, they sparkle and dazzle. Try to look more like your girl RiRi instead of a drag mash up of Mimi and Shakira. (Monday 16 May 2016; 15:55)

GLAAD Awards (62,241) by Licia from USA She looked gorgeous and she was funny. I like it better when she doesn't try to be overly sexy and dramatic. Everything was on point from the dress to the speech. (Monday 16 May 2016; 15:01)

Re: Name that song (62,233) (62,240) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter "There For Me". Released as a b-side to "Never Too Far/Hero" medley. (Monday 16 May 2016; 14:18)

Re: If Mariah has another Nr 1 (62,237) (62,239) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I would want the headlines to be like "Mariah finally loses her crown (cue to general public getting happy) to herself, by breaking her own record (GP sad)." (Monday 16 May 2016; 12:42)

Re: Re-entering the charts? (62,231) (62,238) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter "Mine Again" should have been a single off TEOM. It's a beautiful song and you can really see she was feeling all kinds of emotions on it haha. Plus like BGK, "Mine Again" was also charting on the hot 100 without being released as a single. "Faded" is also such a beautiful song, if MIAM wasn't such a messy era, it would have been at least more successful than its peak. Because some of the songs, combined with right promo and a good video, would definitely hit the charts. I know a lot of people hate "You're Mine" (and honestly I love the song, but I would have chosen other singles over that), anyways so even if YME is considered weak, one can't tell me that JLo's song "Booty" could crack the top 20 and YME couldn't? It all came down to the promotions. JLo promoted "Booty" everywhere and got it stuck in people's head (even though with all her promo her album still didn't sell well) and YME was just abandoned, not even given a fair shot. I don't doubt Mariah's ability to write good songs, but in this era, if one doesn't promote, their songs won't impact the charts. (Monday 16 May 2016; 12:41)

If Mariah has another Nr 1 (62,237) by Ty from USA Can you imagine the press? The controversy? The history breaking single? They will be forced to finally give her props for being an icon. (Monday 16 May 2016; 12:14)

Re: You people coming for Bey, Riri and other singers (62,218) (62,236) by darrian liu from taiwan Rude Boy is only remembered by few, aside from Rihanna's Navy. Many of her songs are like that. I'm not diminishing Rihanna's legacy, but don't act like most of her hits were remembered. Nobody remembered Disturbia. Nobody remembered Pon De Replay. Do you really think Mariah doesn't have any memorable songs aside from those you have mentioned? How about Vision Of Love? My All? Heck, Honey is still iconic. Heartbreaker is also iconic. Don't act like Emotions made no impact. You're the one diminishing Mariah's legacy. Again, are you sure you're not in the wrong message board? (Monday 16 May 2016; 11:28)

(62,235) by Kajal from UK- Birmingham Guys I absolutely loved this GLAAD look and as I loved the Butterfly era and late 90s style and look I thought Mariah really bought back the nostalgia. I mean I love love love this hair colour as it takes years off her than that blonde and Mariah really has not aged at all and if she even went back to her brunette look with curls she would still look like she was from the "Always be my baby" and "Honey" days. . Please Mariah we need this look more and dont do blonde please. I would love to see you looking like you did in the "My all" remix look because you looked smoking [...] and the brilliant thing about it is that you can look like that. [...] (Monday 16 May 2016; 11:06)

Come through (62,234) by Marissa from USA This is the best I have seen her look so far this year. This outfit was unique, tasteful-sexy and most importantly, a color other than black. Look at this picture to see the fruits of her labor between 2015 and now. The speech was brilliant and she stayed in her lane by not going on stage and pretending to be a sudden LGBTQI expert. She was hammin' it up and giving me on point, coherent, sassy Mariah a la 1997. (Monday 16 May 2016; 5:13)

Name that song (62,233) by Haiji Toro from USA, SOUTH FLORIDA Thought it would be fun to do something different, giving us all a chance to interact with each other in a positive way. No pressure, just enjoy. For those who'd like to join in, good luck to you. Hope it sparks someone's interest and maybe they can come up with the next one. Here it is: - This song was not a #1 on the charts. - Its proceeds went to the Heroes Fund. - Could have been part of the rainbow. - Was written alongside 2 other songwriters, whom both have also worked with Whitney Houston. - This song is considered in rare form, compared to her other songs. - Certain lyrics in the song contain "end of time". - Was recorded in between breakdowns. - Has 10 letters.

Biggest MC Fan (62,232) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) What is your purpose of coming to this message board? As I see most of your posts here are discrediting everything about MC. Personally this board has many opinions about everything regarding MC, what this board doesn't need is a troll who comes here just to highlight their dislike or issues with MC. If you feel the need to sing the praises of Rihanna go to her fan message board and do that as much as you wish. Again this message board is a Mariah Carey fan message board and trolls are not welcomed. (Monday 16 May 2016; 3:26)

Re: Re-entering the charts? 62,216) (62,231) by 123 from USA Really? Considering that "Panda" by Desiigner just topped the charts, I'd say any of her hidden "timeless" sounding gems could top the charts. Mimi L. why are you in my mind with Mine Again, and Faded. Migrate was never a favorite but whenever I play it around non-lambs they always ask if it's a new song and then follow up with "Why didn't she release this? It's a banger." I really needed Faded to get a proper release. Hell I'm still sad YDKWTD didn't get proper single treatment with radio adds, a video, promotional performances and an urban and dance remix. This old tried and true Mariah go to marketing campaign always worked when executed properly. MIAM may have been a rehash, but that was the point of an album called MIAM. You can't say the songs weren't good. (Monday 16 May 2016; 3:02)

Webmaster (62,230) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) In my opinion anyone who comes to this message board just to troll and discredit everything about Mariah should not be allowed to post here. (Monday 16 May 2016; 3:02)

Rhianna, a legend? (62,229) by Stacey from USA Oh you must be joking, lol. Go and find the video of her attempting to sing Hero. It is laughable. She is the epitamy of studio creation if there ever was one. Please don't put her in the same category just because she's close to MC in #1 hits. (Monday 16 May 2016; 2:16)

Re: Re-entering the charts? (62,216) (62,227) by Haiji Toro from USA, SOUTH FLORIDA I'm smiling right now at all these comments. Loving these ideas and suggestions. AIWFCIY definitely needs to be #1 already. Long Ago was actually my favorite song off that album, at that time. Something about Faded is addictive. I couldn't stop replaying it when I first got the album. Mimi L, she looks amazing in those pics. Bigmacfan, thanks for the update on what year it was. I must have fallen asleep during the 90's. Had a glitter OD. Don't know what this board would do without you. I guess even the human body needs germs to survive. Hey, I know I preach about respect, love and all the kumba-ya moments, but respect is earned, and some people don't know how to hustle for it. Words of advice, "Don't swallow your own venom. You might get a realer taste of what you spew." God bless everyone. (Monday 16 May 2016; 1:15)

Re: You people coming for Bey, Riri and other singers (62,218) (62,224) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter You seem to have forgotten "Vision Of Love", which has launched countless careers, because a lot of the big singers today credit VOL as the song that made them decide that they want to be a singer. Examples? From current scene Beyonce, from the past Christina. Just to give 2 examples. She has touched everyone from Britney to Adele. And heck even Snoop Dogg would listen to VOL in jail. You also left out "Emotions" (which amazes people until date), her version of "I'll be there", "Dreamlover" and her iconic video of "Honey". Also let's not sit and pretend people don't know "My All". Even JLo had to say it's her favorite. I could go on, but you get my point. Also please let's discuss how these songs that Mariah made her impact with her written by her. They are deep and meaningful, not something angled just to get #1 hits out of. Rihanna may have made her mark on the music scene, but one would be delusional to claim she has made an impact of Mariah's level. I wouldn't drag Rihanna but you seem to be trying to undermine Mariah's achievements and capability with each of your posts to defend every other artist apart from the one you claim to be the biggest fan of.

Mariah and "that dress" (62,223) by Anthony Basco from Cardiff, Wales At the GLAAD awards, Mariah brought sexy and tasteful in one outfit. She looked like a goddess, simply radiant. When she gets it right, she does it like no other. Wow. (Monday 16 May 2016; 0:07)

Re: "Thank you for the unconditional love" (62,215) (62,222) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Jeez calm down, no one said you absolutely have to love her unconditionally. Now you are just dragging her beyond logic. (Monday 16 May 2016; 0:05)

Biggest MC fan (62,221) by Anthony Basco from Cardiff, Wales The biggest fan amongst those who don't like her, it seems. And please stop with the Rihanna praising, oh she who can do no wrong in your eyes. It's boring, it's tasteless and completely irrelevant on a Mariah Carey fan site. The word legend is thrown around too easily these days. Good grief. (Monday 16 May 2016; 0:05)

Re: Re-entering the charts? (62,212) (62,220) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter "Faded" was definitely supposed to be a single. When the MIAM CD came out, some had the stickers with the words "Includes the hit singles 'Beautiful', 'Faded' and 'Thirsty". Something along that lines. It might have been "You're Mine" instead of "Thirsty" I don't know, but "Faded" was definitely on the sticker, listed as a single. Secondly Mike Will Made It was having a really successful streak in 2013 so it would make sense for her to work with him to get a hot single. (Monday 16 May 2016; 0:03)

Re: How GLAAD am I? (62,206) (62,219) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter You are welcome Andrew. Glad you enjoyed it. (Monday 16 May 2016; 0:00)

Re: You people coming for Bey, Riri and other singers(62,195) (62,218) by BIGGEST MC FAN from UNITED STATES Darren, the only songs people remember from Mariah are Fantasy, Always Be My Baby, Hero, Without You, All I Want For Christmas Is You, and We Belong Together. Rihanna has Diamonds, We Found Love, Don't Stop The Music, Umbrella, Unfaithful, Love The Way You Lie, Take A Bow, Only Girl, S&M, Rude Boy, etc. And her catalog is growing because she's only 28. So don't try to diminish her legacy. Rihanna is one of the defining artists of the 2000s and 2010s and has made her mark on music and is continuing doing so. (Sunday 15 May 2016; 20:48)
