What happens live 2016 (61,979) by Ty from USA Andy likes drama. This is a setup, however Stella is not a punk. Stella is gonna make sure Mimi is ready. JLo [...] shade last visit and we all know Mariah is not one to be mocked. That war is far from over. FYI that fishnet dress was horrible. (Tuesday 10 May 2016; 12:09)

Wendy interview (61,978) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah was featured on Wendy's episode again. This time both the real and fake Mariah. Wendy had 3 audience member dressed up as celebs and one of them was Mariah. The girl dressed as Mariah was pretty spot on with the face, makeup, hair and body language/expressions. Wendy brought up that hideous dress from Mishka's Bar Mitzvah, and although she didn't drag her too much, I couldn't blame her if she did. That dress was a serious no no. I am just happy the "videos" were not featured. (Tuesday 10 May 2016; 12:01)

Re: What happens live 2016 (61,968) (61,977) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter If he does bring it up, which is pretty likely to happen, I hope this time she just grows up and says something that is not "I don't know her". Things like these give people more ammo to hate on her. (Tuesday 10 May 2016; 11:54)

Re: WWHL (61,967) (61,976) by Licia from USA WWHL is the perfect place for her to let loose and be the funny, relatable person we all know she is. I also would like the J. Lo thing to go away. I know Andy will bring it up, but I hope Mariah doesn't add more fuel to the fire. Let it go. (Tuesday 10 May 2016; 11:25)

Re: WWHL (61,967) (61,975) by Martyn from England, UK I agree, I'm already dreading it. The J Lo thing will undoubtedly be brought up, and given the tone of the show I know Mariah is going to go down the "comical" route. I'm so bored of it. I'm ready for a serious interview with no diva-isms. The odd few thrown in is fine, but she seems like a stuck record now just rotating the same stock phrases in every interview. Interesting that you brought Oprah up - imagine Mariah pulling these antics in front of her or Barbara Walters? She never would. It's bizarre. (Tuesday 10 May 2016; 10:44)

RJJ12 (61,974) by Travon..SweetSweetFantasy from USA Look. I don't really care what Andrew thinks. I don't consider him a bully nor do I really care. I can hold my own with anyone. Maybe you should look at all my posts from the last 2 years. I love opinions and try to be repsectful as much as I can. I am not addressing him. I am addressing you. If you can't understand proper etiquette, grammar, and/or proof-read before you post than why even post to begin with? You are making yourself look like an old tired dumb lamb from the 90s by disrepecting people names and including them on your posts without their permission. I am way younger than you and I respect people's names. I am not going to sit and let you throw my name under the bus. You are continuing to be disrespectful by purposely continuing to call me someone else. Do it again and I will submit several open complaints to the webmaster, UKMIX, Mariah's Facebook, Mariah's Twitter, and 2 open forums for everyone to see on your behalf. Don't try me dude. All I am asking is for you to spell my name correctly and not include me in your arguments. Why is that so hard? (Tuesday 10 May 2016; 10:42)

Freedom of speech (61,973) by MimiLamb from Germany I'm all for it, as long as we can do it with some respect towards each other and Mariah, that is the problem though or better said lack thereof, we have rules here but they just aren't used. The other thing I notice is that people just stay in a certain negative way of constantly talking every little thing down, so much that it becomes a negative place to be as a fan. It makes me wonder why some still take the time to post daily about Mariah on this board. I wouldn't if this is how I would see her or feel when it comes to Mariah. I'm not aiming this post to anybody in particular btw. I hope there will be a healthy balance again, because as of now it's absolutely not the case. (Tuesday 10 May 2016; 10:32)

Sweet Sweet Fantasy tour vocal range (61,972) by 123 from USA I love this. Kudos to MariahCareyFan for putting it together. I loved the intro, she looks like the star that she is. She really did exceed my expectations vocally with this tour. Here's to her continuing to work on her voice and continue to improve. Can't wait to hear how she sounds in Vegas in this next leg. (Tuesday 10 May 2016; 7:56)

Re: Ty just called you out (61,937) (61,971) by 123 from USA Trayvon or however you spell it, if all you got out of my mentioning you is that I misspelled your name, I can see why Andrew picks with you. Well, at least you got to type your fifth paragraph about how you are not going to talk about Andrew. (Tuesday 10 May 2016; 7:52)

Re: Ty just called you out (61,942) (61,970) by 123 from USA I apologize Martyn if you felt offended because your name was mentioned in my post. What you consider 12 year old behavior I consider not tolerating racist behavior, but you obviously wouldn’t understand. No impact made, I just used you to prove my point. (Tuesday 10 May 2016; 7:43)

Hi all (61,969) by Lee TS from USA I just wanted to stop by and say a quick hello. So much has happened and haven't been up to date with our lovely M. It seems like the tour went well and I only saw a brief clip of her doing some SA fun stuff with Demkids. Hi everyone. (Tuesday 10 May 2016; 4:26)

What happens live 2016 (61,968) by Ty from USA Andy please let the JLo thing go, it's so old. Of course he's gonna bring it up and have all "4" of her Bronx bred fans stalking Mimi's IG account. (Tuesday 10 May 2016; 3:48)

WWHL (61,967) by Todd from Melbourne, Australia Really excited about MC being on this show again. But also a bit nervous. I have my fingers crossed about a couple of things - like how last time she made them switch sides. Just sit in the guest spot. I'm hoping for an articulate, intelligent, funny "Oprah version" of Mariah - not a 12 year old that says "dahling" in every sentence. Address the JLo thing and put it to bed. Talk about parenting. Talk about James. A mate of mine the other day said that she has become a caricature of herself. I know that not to be true, that it's predominantly a charade put on as a reflection of self esteem and insecurity (3 guesses what I do for a living), but Mariah needs to re-establish some form of normality with the general public. Something that people watch and say "wow, okay, so she's actually pretty normal and intelligent". (Tuesday 10 May 2016; 3:28)

Mariah (61,966) by SM from Citizen of the World Go back to your queen dresses, these ensambles are just killing the whole vibe. Please just quit it. I don't know who is telling her they look good but they are odviously embarrasing her. Sorry to be negative but the photos from that girl's party are just speechless. I have lost interest. (Tuesday 10 May 2016; 2:11)

Re: Rolls eyes (61,957) (61,965) by enwar00 from usa Lol right? It's not even about Mariah anymore. (Tuesday 10 May 2016; 2:10)

Re: Meanwhile back at the ranch (61,958) (61,964) by Licia from USA I'm going to be a bigger person and apologize for implying that you are a racist. I don't know you. I can only go by what you post. I try to be respectful to everyone here regardless of whether I agree with them or not. I just felt that some of the things you said were uncalled for even if it was a joke. Ok so moving on. Yes that fishnet outfit was a mess and I'd like to burn it. If she could always wear that red gown she wore at that Paris party I'd be happy. Depending on the type of dress less is definitely more. It was a plain dress with a little cape. No glitter or dazzle, but she was stunning imo. (Tuesday 10 May 2016; 2:10)

From now on (61,963) by Anthony Basco from Cardiff, Wales To hell with diplomacy, I'm going to speak exactly my mind. I love Mariah, always have, always will. Can't fathom that in your mind? Who cares, not my problem. I've spent years upon years coming to this site heaping praise on Mariah, because she is the best and I adore her, and the one time I criticise, and have a valid point, the royal family come out from fantasy land and suddenly it's like a cat amongst the pigeons. Mariah, I love you, now and forever, but my previous points still stand. That's just how I feel. And to the folks on here who actually had a discussion with me, thank you, and I hope to have more discussions on all manner of topics in the future. (Tuesday 10 May 2016; 1:57)

Re: When you feel the need, please don't (61,886) (61,962) by QueenLambassador from Portugal I agree with freedom of speech. I'm all for that but this board is not about freedom of speech, it's about bashing Mariah and people are allowed to do it. It's sad to see people go so low. (Tuesday 10 May 2016; 1:01)

I honestly believe (61,961) by Giovanni from USA Mariah doesn't care about her looks, weight or appearance anymore. The ensemble she wore in L.A. was ridiculous. I don't know if she picked that out herself, or by Stella. Either way it has to go and neither be seen again. I feel that is something Lady Gaga would wear. (Tuesday 10 May 2016; 0:58)

Re: Mariah returns to Vegas (61,944) (61,960) by Giovanni from USA I hope not. I'm so over and bored with Vegas. (Tuesday 10 May 2016; 0:48)

Classical Mariah (61,959) by Andrew from UK And in that vein, I stated before I believe Mariah can be more than she is and, perhaps, contribute to classical and excel at it. Listen to Fantasia on a Theme By Thomas Tallis and tell me you can't hear Mariah's melodies and harmonies in the strings. She could do much greater things. If not, then write a musical. Perhaps with Marc Shaiman. (Monday 9 May 2016; 21:50)

Meanwhile back at the ranch (61,958) by Andrew from UK 1. Licia and Marissa, as voices of erudition in a pool of insanity, to you I say yes, I may poke fun at stereotypes but such is comedy and life. I don't pull my hair out when black stand-up comedians/comediennes or anyone takes the piss out of white people or British people. If there's one thing the British, and dare I say Europeans (not the French) are still good at it's laughing at themselves. See what I did there? I made fun of the French. My friend from Lyon equally makes fun of me. It's banter. My humour is dark but meant light-hearted. All my points are normally (with occasional exception) in reference to Mariah. I get insulted here a lot, but laugh it off. Why are militant Americans et al. in here so hell bent on offence? Oh wait: 2. "White privilege". Because that isn't a sentence borne of stereotype and hatred, is it? How can the anti-discrimination movement ever hope to make headway whilst it is imbedded with an irony nobody really cares for? Gandhi, this isn't. Wait for number 3: "Queen"? Homophobia is as unlawful in most of Western Europe as are the other legally-protected discrimination categories. I wasn't offended, though, I was laughing along. Because who cares? Well, Martyn did. Straight people can't talk to him? But, again. If you're going to ride a high-horse in, better make sure you shoe him up to ride him out again. So, 4: it turns out today I asked my black friend (Appropriation? Am I allowed one? No corn rows for me though, right? Lol.) to give me his opinion. He laughed. Along with me. But then reminded me that the US is not like Western Europe (he's not American but black and quite erudite and very not angry thus his opinion matters to me) in that as societies we have massive differences. And that racism and homophobia are much more heightened, charged, extreme, etc., there than here. So I've had a think, and, especially after the ire in the messages hence, I am sorry you were offended. And I forgive you for the offences I received. I assume there's probably a lot of learning on both our parts. And by both I mean people who think like I do and people who think like you do. For the sake of the board, I hold my hand out, and ask: what the f**k was Mariah thinking about that fish-net shocker? And wish you well. A. (Monday 9 May 2016; 21:30)

Rolls eyes (61,957) by Bill from the UK (Logs into message board, sees same old arguing with each other, logs out.) (Monday 9 May 2016; 20:13)

I'm not a hater: I just hate a lot (61,956) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End The last people to admit to being racist/ sexist/ ageist/ misogynistic/ bigots etc. are usually the ones who display the characteristics the most out of anybody. We all know it. One could argue that most racists don't know any better and that they are ignorant to their own behaviours. So why then are haters exempt from being called out? Haters are just as likely to go on the defensive when fans/ stans/ lambs point out obvious hater characteristics. Doesn't mean they aren't a hater. In any other fandom, haters are acknowledged if even just nominally. There isn't a concerted effort to downplay their presence when Stans vs haters is and has been what separates the die-hards from the general public. I don't know if lambs are the egg or haters were the chicken. It's different matter either way. The two are inextricably linked as they are in any given fandom. But for some weird reason the lambily has been semi-hijacked by haters using the transparent: some of my best friends are lambs. Ergo: I can't be a hater. You people are always going on ad nauseum about Adele, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Madonna and whomever else you can use to misinform on the current or historical state of Mariah's brand, popularity and marketability. Never mind that all of the aforementioned have stanbases who are largely responsible for hyping up their faves and giving them positive press not to mention buying their music and actually liking it. The og lambs continue to do this just as they always did. Personally, I love the haters and find great use and amusement though them. It's the ridiculous denial of their existence on fanboards that I find more than suspicious. Why the subterfuge? I wouldn't go post on a JLo fanforum and expect her stans to not look at me sideways considering how I don't like her actions and continuous lies towards Mariah. If I ever did, I'd be called a hater within two seconds and they woukd be well withing their rights. Like, who does that? Again. Why the subterfuge and propaganda that the lamiky is the only standom with any real haters? Why are the diehards considered some kind of fringe element? There is an obvious agenda in that question and it doesn't benefit Mariah. So, miss me with the outrage over her wardrobe choises, celebratory habits and who is or isn't part if her social circle. The only thing worse than bad press is no press at all. Just look at Justin Bieber's rise-fall-rise or hell, Mariah's own career rollercoaster. I remember a has-been singer-songwriter who used to be popular when I was in 7th or 8th grade, who once said something about not discounting talent, I wonder whatever happened to her. (Monday 9 May 2016; 20:11)

Re: Mariah returns to Vegas (61,944) (61,955) by King Lambassador from USA I sure hope she does. I've seen her three times here so far, and she has been amazing each time. (Monday 9 May 2016; 20:11)
