Re: Mariah "meltdown" (61,621) (61,627) by B from USA It wasn't a meltdown. The fans were preventing her from giving it her all. (Monday 25 April 2016; 20:48)

Re: GLAAD award (61,622) (61,626) by Ryan from Canada Mariah has had gay marriage proposals on stage at some of her concerts and on a performance on Oprah. Although she is not the first person that comes to mind when you think of celebrities promoting gay rights she has has definitely used her status as a platform to display her support for LGBT. (Monday 25 April 2016; 20:44)

Re: GLAAD award (61,622) (61,625) by B from USA She's a gay icon. She's donated money to Elton's AIDS charity and If I'm not mistaken Ms. Elizabeth Taylor's as well. (Monday 25 April 2016; 20:42)

Re: I don't know her shade (61,592) (61,624) by B from USA Her shadiness appeals to tweens and young adults. I disagree. I think she has the spark back. Hasn't had it (hadn't had it) since the E=MC2 era. She has her confidence back in both her body and voice and she's displaying that on tour. This tour is shaping to be one of her most successful. (Monday 25 April 2016; 20:40)

Re: She recorded " Beautiful Ones" (61,608) (61,623) by Andrew from UK Hold up, isn't that a little unfair? Mariah essentially said Prince doesn't like people doing his songs or she would have sung one in Paris. The US poster was trying to point out that she already did one of his songs on Butterfly. So why not sing that? Did she mean he doesn't like them performed live? Does Prince not like her version of Beautiful Ones? Fair play, her actual friend died. But her comment is a little vague and can be read as nonsense given the fact she's already done one of his records. I was confused, too. Heaven forbid she should've changed the setlist (Monday 25 April 2016; 18:51)

GLAAD award (61,622) by Andrew from UK Totally missed this article. And still think I'm missing something. "She is a longtime ally and friend to the LGBT community who has worked tirelessly to move acceptance and inclusion forward." Since when? She's sung some songs about not fitting-in which any minority can identify with. What else? Gay people like her? She's a diva, of course they do. They'd like Vladamir Putin if he put on a sparkly dress and hit a high note. But it's not a "gay people like you" award. "Working tirelessly" to advance the gay movement? Gaga, yes. Mariah? I'm must be missing something. Like, really? (Monday 25 April 2016; 18:29)

Mariah "meltdown" (61,621) by Jono from USA Anyone find it interesting that the tabloids have been silent since Mariah has sounded fantastic this tour, but are now covering her again because she jokingly had a "meltdown" over her wind fans not blowing correctly? Typical media, desperately reaching for something to slander Mariah with. Of course most people will fall for the clickbait and think here goes Mariah being a diva again with her demanding requests. Her #1 obsessed fan Wendy will probably cover it on Hot Topics and spin it as her being mentally unstable. Well, if these headlines generate clicks it'll allow more people to check out videos of this tour, thinking they're going to see and hear a hot mess but realize that she actually looks and sounds great. And maybe the general public will notice the date and realize time has indeed passed and it's no longer Christmas 2014. (Monday 25 April 2016; 18:28)

Re: E=MC2 (61,610) (61,620) by Merr Hasenan from Malaysia I want another album with the vocals of E=MC2, the album cover should capture the black/gold tone of TEOM and should list the rnb songs such as in Butterfly and the pop ballads in Music Box. I know you guys want Mariah to do something different but I really miss those elements of her music and its production. I still remember the excitement when I heard the intro of Hero for the very first time and soared with the chorus of All I've Ever Wanted. Or tried very hard to get down with the lyrics of Breakdown and The Roof. And guys, I did cried when I saw the cover of TEOM. She looked so majestic and in control (although I hate when my brother told me she looks like Beyonce on that cover). (Monday 25 April 2016; 18:23)

Re: She recorded " Beautiful Ones" (61,606) (61,618) by Warren from Trinidad & Tobago I think this was done before actually getting to know him and his tastes and preferences. Just a guess. (Monday 25 April 2016; 18:10)

Re: Jono (61,612) (61,617) by Jono from USA Fame does change people, and it's something we can never understand unless we are in that unique position. Of course 1990 Mariah is different than 2016 Mariah, they're completely different people. I just don't understand when people complain about her not being the 20 year old version of herself. Now do I agree with everything that this current Mariah does? No. But let the woman live. She's in such a good place again. Criticizing how she should act or who she should be is the very thing that she detested in the mid 90s. And look, as much as we all love Mariah and think we know her, we still only see perhaps half of her, which is when she's in the public eye. We don't know how she's like behind closed doors when the persona drops. And unless you're in her inner circle, it's a bit ludicrous to judge from the outside ("Looking In", anyone?). 1990 Mariah had something to prove, that she was not a Whitney 2.0, and that she wasn't a flash in the pan artist or gimmick. 2016 Mariah has paid her dues, and could retire tomorrow and still go down as the greatest ever. She doesn't need to be anything for anyone. Now the day she becomes a Kardashian and vainly promotes herself with absolutely zero substance, then I stand corrected and you can say I told you so. But she's still doing music and touring (and sounding really good again), and isn't that all we can really hope for? Ditzy diva persona be damned. (Monday 25 April 2016; 18:08)

Re: Ageism and sexism in sexuality (61,603) (61,616) by Andrew from UK I just spat tea over my phone, laughing. You made my day. You're saying that you (italics) can't give a female's perspective? You (bold, italics)? Tea, everywhere. So, basically, you need a uterus to comment on Mariah's display of sexuality? How about if I transition, would that count? Come on, that has to be the most dumb [censored] thing you've ever said and you say a lot of dumb [censored] things, mate. Lol you owe me one cup of tea. Assam, actually. How pun-ny haha send me to the pun-itentiary. (Monday 25 April 2016; 17:46)

Article: Mariah announces "I can't sing in front of these fans" (61,615) by kristen from us So many people took this as Mariah was saying something bad about her lambs she wasn't. She was just saying that the stage is a little bit different and that she feels she's a little to close to the audience and there's a little wind going and that can effect her voice on stage that's all. Lambs should know as well as I know that Mariah would never say anything bad about her fans, we mean a lot to her and she looks at us like one of her most prized possessions. Real lambs understand her as an artist and a person and that's one of the reasons why she loves us. [Webmaster: Did you read the article at all? It says: "Urgh, these fans, I just want to fix them. It's just never how I want it. Don't you think that if I want the fans to blow air appropriately then that's what we need to have?" So it's clearly she wasn't talking about the lambs. Btw, next time start a sentence with a capital and end it with a dot or your message won't be posted. How many times must I say this?] (Monday 25 April 2016; 16:58)

Touch My Body (Cyril Hahn Remix) (61,614) by Ben from Sweden Check this out, Touch My Body (Cyril Hahn Remix), with a lowered pitch on the vocals. I like the feeling of the song. (Monday 25 April 2016; 16:54)

Re: E=MC2 (61,610) (61,613) by Philipp from Switzerland I don't. I feel like all the songs are built so similar. The last chorus on almost all songs is always Mariah ad-liping to the "lower-Mariah" who sings less high. (Monday 25 April 2016; 15:42)

Jono (61,612) by Anthony Basco from Cardiff, Wales Instead of being intentionally dense and avoiding the point I made, where I clearly stated how I felt she had changed, respond directly. But I'll play along and say it as though you were dense, although you aren't. Mariah has changed in that she lives in an almost farcical fantasy world, where everything is super controlled and contrived, and it almost seems the sparkle has gone. It's not about artistry anymore, it's about "being" Mariah Carey. Obviously not being a living legend I can't and don't know how it feels and how that would change a person, but I still feel it's sad when someone with so much spirit, the spirit that attracted you in the first place, seems to be gone. (Monday 25 April 2016; 15:13)

Re: E=MC2 (61,610) (61,611) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines I somehow understand your wish as E=MC2 was the last album where her vocals were perfectly controlled. It's her least vocally challenging effort, hence there was little of the oversinging found in the two preceding albums and not too much whispering either. On second thought, that was the follow-up to her comeback effort. A lot was riding on it so it was precision-crafted to be a hit in every way, you can almost hear the calculation behind it. But what you can also hear is the it-girl confidence behind her voice that makes the album such a fun listen from beginning to end. It's exactly the type of music that Mariah would have been doing in that period if she were a decade younger yet she still pulled it off at 38. (Monday 25 April 2016; 14:46)

E=MC2 (61,610) by Ben from Sweden I want another album with the vocals of E=MC2. (Monday 25 April 2016; 10:41)

Re: Article: Seven albums to stop the apocalypse (61,555) (61,609) by Philipp from Switzerland I think Rainbow and Charmbracelet are much better than Glitter. There's too much rapping on Glitter. (Monday 25 April 2016; 10:24)

Re: She recorded " Beautiful Ones" (61,606) (61,608) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands Where did you read or hear Mariah doesn't like covers of Prince songs? Mariah said: "One thing about him that was kinda cool and funny and made me laugh is that he didn't like when people did his songs. Otherwise I would have done something of his, just to do it, but I knew that wasn't his thing." Before you say something dumb, learn to read first. (Monday 25 April 2016; 9:44)

Re: Mariah (61,600) (61,607) by Jono from USA You mean the 46 year old mother of two, a living legend with an established career and has achieved everything she wanted and more, is not the same 20 year old girl fresh off of her first record deal hoping to achieve a living in the music industry? Ok. (Monday 25 April 2016; 8:13)

She recorded " Beautiful Ones" (61,606) by BLEUX ROGUE from U. S. A. What does she mean she doesn't like covers of Prince songs? She recorded "Beautiful Ones". I love her but sometimes she says the dumbest things and contradicts herself. (Monday 25 April 2016; 6:56)

Eternally twelve (61,605) by Manny from U.S. "You're as old as you feel" says the old adage. I hypothesized Mimi or Mariah only says that to feel young, vibrant and active. If she says "I'm fourty five years old". She will feel "that old". There is so much criticism here. I would love to see any of you go on tour all around the world. The tour requires so much energy: physically, mentally, and spiritually. To top it all of, you have to cross boundaries of which political ones are the most "bleak". I got to know a sound engineer who knew some people in the business. He was so instrumental in the way I viewed the music business. I wanted to be a singer, because I wanted to be a star. After I talked to this engineer, I gave up on this music business thing. Mariah has audacity beyond limits and no one will stop my angel. (Monday 25 April 2016; 5:39)

Andrew (61,604) by Rene from US Why are you so obsessed with me? You're still going strong on here. Did you go to a concert in Europe? Talk to me honey. (Monday 25 April 2016; 5:18)

Re: Ageism and sexism in sexuality (61,599) (61,603) by Travon..SweetSweetFantasy from USA I am a guy and I am not in a position where I can give an opinion on ageism or sexuality when it comes to females. I think talking about Mariah Carey's concerns with how she dresses and her age with sexuality should come from a female's perspective or a modest individual that can relate to it. It's weird how many guys on this site are trying to talk about this. Women are beautiful human beings that have great sex appeal to each their own. Mariah looks sexy and she is flaunting it. It's like Mariah can never win. When she is heavier, we tell her to lose weight. If she is looking great and flaunts it, we tell her to dress like an actress on a red carpet. I became a lamb in 2005 and it makes me sick to see all these old lambs from 1988 not accept reality. The reality is Mariah is not going to change her ways. The same complaints over and over again since (probably 1997) and she still hasn't changed for you yet. Get over it. (Monday 25 April 2016; 3:25)
