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.

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.

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.

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. (Wednesday 11 May 2016; 19:43)

Taylor Swift (62,016) by Giovanni from USA Is super annoying and hungry for fame. It's bad enough Billboard had a legend like Diana Ross give her that made up award last time. And now they're giving her another one. I wonder who will be presenting this one? I don't think she is worthy of any awards. She really has no talent. Her songs are silly and have no meaning. Even "Infinity" is still better than anything she's ever written. Taylor is not a real artist or real singer. I can't with Billboard, they suck. (Wednesday 11 May 2016; 18:30)

Negativity (62,015) by Giovanni from USA I didn't know you couldn't criticize or speak of Mariah in a negative way without being questioned if you're a real fan or not. I guess there are fans who think Mariah can do no wrong, she's perfect and doesn't make mistakes or right choices. She's done nothing wrong. Especially when it comes to her music, appearance, ensembles or showing cleavage. Maybe if Mariah made better choices and conducted herself right, the media, the haters and her fans wouldn't be so hard on her. Mariah's the best but sometimes it can be hard being a fan when you're having to consistently be defending her against your friends and to the haters. I'm not trying to back stab Mariah I'm just trying to make a point. Just because some us have a different opinion or complain about certain things doesn't mean we're not fans. We just want the best for her and want to see her be more respected and likeable. (Wednesday 11 May 2016; 18:16)

Janet Jackson new music video "Dammn Baby" (62,014) by Malcolm from Asia Damn Janet, you clearly still got it. She looked like she was just having fun but slaying the entire video. That smile and her cheekbones, I really love this song. Of course I will not post this if I will not associate it with Mariah. I just adores the production and effort that Janet and her team put into this album. Even though it did not make hits or live up the commercial success that they want, it's still surely satisfying in terms of the creative side of the project. This is how I wish Mariah will do in her next music videos, don't sacrifice the creativity and production value of it just to show the public that you're still capable of being naked and whatnots. Yes I'm one of the people that love to see Mariah back on top but if I will to choose whether an album that is a commercial and production let down or an album that is a commercial let down but had a superb production and creativity, of course I will choose the latter. Singer's works will always say something about them as an artist, it will always represents them. I cannot question the artistry (in terms of the songs) that MIAM had, but for me it had been better if they stick to the plan a.k.a. "The Art of Letting Go" because I can see that Mariah had a vision for it based on the trailer and that's the project that they put all the effort on so many years. (Wednesday 11 May 2016; 18:12)

Re: WWHL (62,008) (62,013) by Andrew from UK Again, I think you have to look at Mariah's profile right now. Celine getting the Icon, Swift having an award named after her: yeah, absolutely Mariah is one of the greats who we want recognised. But her public profile is shot. Even lambs are hanging their heads in shame at her image right now (the SSFT has done a lot for her press, absolutely) and, as I've stated (yes, I know, many times) the public just don't like her. They don't. She's become a bit of a punchline with "Hoodriah" or lip-syncing or weight-gain or getting drunk or being subversive in interviews. Essentially, Joe Public think she's a crazy, drunk, arrogant diva bitch. You aren't going to award somebody on prime-time television if you think the people watching will groan and switch over. Now, ignore me or attack me all you want, but 'tis the reality of the situation as I see it. Mariah has to start making Joe Public like her again. And I still think her fans are the people to look to, whether it's what she's wearing, where de performs, the corny of interviews. Calls for everyone to start being positive are all well and good but it requires things to be positive about. Or else you're Baby. In Dreamville. With the unicorns. Or Sheila. Thinking that calling someone a homosexual is offensive. As if homosexuals should be ashamed of themselves. And then referring to them with female pronouns. Because they aren't "real" men.

Re: I love GIFs more than life itself (62,009) (62,012) by Andrew from UK Be 96% now with that there post of yours, Martyn. I hope this doesn't ruin our bromance. (Wednesday 11 May 2016; 17:46)

WWHL (62,011) by Giovanni from USA Mariah is more and likely appearing to promote her new tv series. I'll probably watch a few episodes but it's certainly not something I'm looking forward to watch. (Wednesday 11 May 2016; 17:44)

Re: Wendy interview (62,002) (62,010) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha part of me wants Mariah to go and give Wendy a visit just to see Wendy fan girl over Mariah but another part of me wants Mariah to keep avoiding Wendy and pissing her off haha. But you are right, Wendy has been soft on Mariah lately. Or she would have dragged Mariah for that dress a lot more, because we have seen her drag Mariah for a lot less. There might be more Mariah appearances lined up because why would she randomly go on WWHL? Right? I hope we are getting some new thing to argue over haha. Maybe a new album cover to criticize or a new song to divide the board's opinion and then have some come out and say "you guys are not true fans". (Wednesday 11 May 2016; 15:28)

I love GIFs more than life itself (62,009) by Martyn from England, UK Me coming back to the board and seeing that 70% of the posts are discussing the volume of negative posts, thus increasing the number of negative posts to approximately 95%. (Wednesday 11 May 2016; 15:20)

Re: WWHL (61,996) (62,008) by darrian liu from taiwan It's been confirmed that Celine Dion will receive the Icon Award at the BBMAs. (Wednesday 11 May 2016; 14:57)

Re: Article: The time I had lunch with Mariah Carey (61,998) (62,006) by Sarah from Netherlands Or it's the remix that was never actually released? Which is actually called Why You Mad? (Wednesday 11 May 2016; 11:07)

Negativity (62,005) by Marquise from USA I used to love coming to this board seeing all the love being spread around talking about how much we love Mariah and stuff like that but now all I mainly see is a bunch of negativity. It's either someone is bashing her attire, her weight, the ways she talks in interviews or her personality, or what she is drinking or who she is dancing with or Stella and her daughter being in the pics and then more about her attire sounding just like the rest of the goats. I'm sure if Mariah saw this board she wouldn't call half of these people lambs or feel loved on here. This is why I rarely visit anymore because the negativity kills my vibe. Even when Miami came out everyone was negative, they were negative when Infinity came out. When her new single come out the artwork will be criticized and the song will be ripped because it doesn't sound like Breakdown or something from the Butterfly album and then criticise the album also like they many did on MIAM yet it got really positive reviews from the media. Just a bunch of nitpicking. It's okay to be critical but when the board is like 80% negativity toward Mariah it's a bad look. Just let the good out weigh the bad. (Wednesday 11 May 2016; 8:05)

Taylor Swift Award? (62,004) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter What on earth? BMI Pop Awards have a Taylor Swift Award for her artistic talent and influence? Why on earth didn't Mariah get one? Taylor Swift is talented and all as a songwriter, but seriously Mariah Carey's writing skills is on a whole other level. Plus it's not like Taylor wrote something that Mariah has done bigger and better. This is ridiculous. I mean congrats to Taylor for getting her award, but it does upset me that Mariah doesn't get enough credit for her writing. Everything is lost in the "diva with a big voice" image. (Wednesday 11 May 2016; 7:45)

Re: Looking at MCA like... (61,992) (62,003) by 123 from USA Luke, I love your post. I have no idea how you posted that but I must learn. (Wednesday 11 May 2016; 3:52)

Re: Wendy interview (61,978) (62,002) by 123 from USA Hello Mimi L. Yes I caught that episode last night. The look a like even had her facial expressions and mannerisms down lol. Wendy has been very tame towards Mariah lately, I suspect she is playing nice because she is trying to get Mariah on the show or Mariah might already be scheduled. I believe the only reason she turned on her is because she couldn't get her on the show with the last team she had, so she started to spread lies saying Mariah demanded she sit on Wendy's side, when we all know that the side her guests sit in is Mariah's good side, so no switching sides like on WWHL.
