Mariah at Mishka's Bar Mitzvah (61,896) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah went to Mishka's Bar Mitzvah at 1OAK and I don't know who told her this would be a good outfit choice. Here is a close up. This is with Stella and Mishka. This is with Bryan and DJ Suss one. She has lot of weight and her makeup looks good but that dress. I just can't. What is it? For a woman who has a 4000 square feet closet, this is what she chooses to wear out. (Saturday 7 May 2016; 14:34)

The secret hip-hop history behind Mariah's "Daydream" (61,895) by Licia from USA That was a nice little article. JD and Mariah really did a great job when they came up with ABMB. It was a good ten years before I knew JD helped write the song. I knew he helped with the remix (which I love to infinity and beyond lol), but I was really impressed with him more finding out he was a creative mind behind the original song. Many fans are tired of her working with JD, but I love their chemistry. (Saturday 7 May 2016; 14:26)

(61,894) by B from USA Mariah singing over Wu-Tang's C.R.E.A.M. random and probably brilliant. (Saturday 7 May 2016; 14:04)

Re: When you feel the need, please don't (61,886) (61,893) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Exactly. Some out here act as if Mariah's career was something that somehow just fell on her lap or was handed to her. Yeah, because that's how you last for 26 years in such a cutthroat business. She worked her ass off, people, because she wanted this -badly. Whatever she has right now, she earned, because she dove headfirst into an industry which she for sure knew was not going to be easy. Look, despite a lot of great things that's happening to Mariah right now both personally and professionally, why the hell isn't she getting any good press about it? Why is the focus still mostly on whatever ill-fitting dress he is wearing or how diva-ish she's acting? The media focuses on the negative? That's not enough reason/excuse anymore. How the heck do you think does Adele manage to be ultra-likable these days? Aren't you just sick and tired of how Mariah is doing well and yet she still isn't taken seriously? Where's the justice in that, right? Only to find out upon closer inspection that it's mostly she who is standing in her way. Treating her with kid gloves isn't gonna do her or her fans any favors. You want her back on the charts? It takes more than a combination of good material and perfect timing to do that these days. The image has to follow. Mariah knows this. She was the girl who triumphantly came back after back-to-back commercial duds Glitter and Charmbracelet - without Tommy's help. She knows how she pretty much had to rebuild her career and how much humility and grace that entailed. Unless she has already given up, she'd have to be more self-aware of how her actions implicate her career. (Saturday 7 May 2016; 13:18)

Re: Social media presence (61,839) (61,892) by Daydream327 from USA Anthony, these have been my exact thoughts for sometime. I completely agree. It's frustrating and actually quite scary because it's as if I'm watching Mariah destroy herself and other fans are either blind to everything or just in denial. I've always loved seeing Mariah going out having a few splashes and enjoying her life. But this is something else, this is someone else. I can't quite describe it but this kind of behavior is not Mariah, idc what anyone says. I just seen a series of very odd snapchat videos where Mariah is all over Bryan (her dancer) and DJ Suss One. At one point I thought I seen her on top of Bryan. She was clearly intoxicated but she just looked so... disconnected. I can't really explain it. I want to think that all the extras and antics are just for the show, but I honestly don't know what's going on. I'm still confused as to why this show is even happening in the first place. It's all frustrating. I just miss Mariah. But I've said this before and I'm saying it again, this is all bad, really bad. And to the lambs that are calling out other lambs for being concerned for Mariah, don't say we didn't tell you so. This is all out of love. Yes, she's a grown woman and can do whatever she wants but does that mean as fans we can't care about her well-being and legacy for that matter? Obviously it seems nobody around her does. And this is not just about her image or legacy, but it's about us not losing anymore legends because they're surrounded by "yes" people and people who are just out for themselves. Yes, it's very hard to even think about, but we have to real here. And as far as Mariah's legacy and image goes well it's obvious we all view her differently than the general public. I can go on and on about the things I read in the comment sections but most of what I read is not nice so I'll just keep them to myself. And as a fan I'm finding it harder and harder to defend her antics. It's almost like she has became an parody of herself. (Saturday 7 May 2016; 11:35)

Article: Mariah mesmerises on magical night (61,891) by Gemma from Australia I've seen Mariah live twice now in Australia and I loved both concerts but her Butterfly tour is still the best. Mariah is over 20 years older than she was on the Butterfly tour so I understand if she isn't exactly the same lol. (Saturday 7 May 2016; 10:59)

New photos (61,890) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah was spotted at Calabasas recently, where she went out for dinner. This and this are some of the pictures of her back in California. (Saturday 7 May 2016; 10:53)

Re: Mariah Carey gives the world's most awkward lap (61,883) (61,889) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Do tell where I said Mariah should make inferior music to be famous and get awards? In fact no one on this board said Mariah should compromise her music to be popular again. You keep trying to make a point but you get distracted. Next time don't bother trying to start an argument if you don't know what you are debating about. I wish you well. (Saturday 7 May 2016; 7:55)

M new from South Africa Cape Town (61,888) by M from South Africa Good day to all the lambs on here. I'm new and I'm been reading post here like it's my new religion but a lot stuff makes me so angry, upset, and so frustrated, but I hope [...] guys can [...] positive and celebrate Mariah successful tour she did and her sense of humor she left behind for her South African fans because Lord knows we needed her lapdance in impros to songs and all her divaness and the modelling and swag she had on stage even the giggles she did wen certain songs she sang. I enjoy Mariah Carey in every aspect of her life whatever she does it brings a smile to my face and sometimes makes my day. I love her pics and come on here just to see them and Mimi Asia hasn't posted pics in ages but that Lamb complains more but I love you all on here. But I will be more active then just in the shadow because there's a lot that you lambs don't know or can't see or read inbetween interviews and shows. This concert was a statement from Mariah due from her previous concert. Remember? Please think of that and think of how different this concert was. Love you lambily. What does L4L means again? (Saturday 7 May 2016; 7:55)

Beautiful (61,887) by Gilles from Malta Finally here we can feel a bit of warm heat here in France. In the car I still enjoy the song Beautiful, it is fresh, smooth, the remixes are very pow, the Spanglish version make it exotic, the rap version make it current. Anyway Me I Am Mariah The Elusive Chanteuse playing in the car when the sun is there is just a beautiful extasy. I've just wanted to share this moment that I felt yesterday in the Car cause I did really enjoy it. I will feel it again today lol. Have a nice day everybody. (Saturday 7 May 2016; 7:49)

When you feel the need, please don't (61,886) by Edward from USA It's very annoying reading some posts from people who enjoy telling other fans what to post, how to think, what to focus on, it is arrogance at its maximum. As if their post were going to chase anybody away or prevent them from posting what they think. It's been the same for almost 20 years on MCArchives. The beauty of the this board is the fact that there's a wide range of opinions, and that's what makes it interesting. I might not like some opinions here and there, but I appreciate the variety nonetheless. I personally think that when it comes to Mariah, good music just won't do, especially if it is at good as "Infinity" and its respective "Mess-mix". Let's not pretend that Mariah is just like the rest of us because she isn't, she's a celebrity, and when she signed up for fame, she knew what she was getting herself into. People do not respect Mariah because she's drowned her artistry and great catalog in this diva persona that most people hate, and that I can't even defend anymore. Now it is about her weave, boobs, makeup and whatever dress/shoes she's wearing at the moment. Months before TEOM was released, Mariah was being likable again and humble again, and people loved her back to #1. Def Jam worked on building that likable image again, but now she's perceived as arrogant even she might not be that way. Mariah was this artist who would put out her music and then disappeared, then come back again and it was refreshing. Her Butterfly-sexy is way different to the sexy she desperately pushes for on everything she does nowadays. (Saturday 7 May 2016; 4:25)

Re: Mariah Carey gives the world's most awkward lap (61,883) (61,885) by Licia from USA Just because I'm a fan that doesn't mean I have to support or agree with everything she does. Like everyone else has said she keeps saying she wants respect, but she's doing things that are causing people to not respect her. I've been a fan since the beginning. I know what this woman is capable of. She's better than what she's doing. If you agree with what she's doing then continue to do so, but we shouldn't have to accept things we don't like just because we're fans. The funny thing is most of the critical posts are coming from people who I know have always defended Mariah whether she was wrong or right in this forum. There has to be something wrong if those people are finally speaking up against what's she's doing. (Saturday 7 May 2016; 2:27)

Re: A new #1 (61,881) (61,884) by QueenLambassador from Portugal Focus on the music, which is always good and different. If people want a number one then they should go out and buy it, instead of complaining about the woaman's hair. I mean if crap like Work gets to number one how did something like You're Mine didn't ? Easy. People dont care about quality of the music, especially the ones that buy music. This is not Mariah's fault, it's a stigma for female singers with 40 plus years. People should celebrate Mariah's music, not trash it like her fans have been doing. (Saturday 7 May 2016; 1:08)

Re: Mariah Carey gives the world's most awkward lap (61,875) (61,883) by QueenLambassador from Portugal Actually Mariah said she would give up her hits but she also said she would never give up being her to be what people expect of her. She would never make inferior music to be famous or to win awards. She did that and she was miserable. I'm surprised that's what her fans want these days. How low can you go? (Saturday 7 May 2016; 1:04)

Re: King and Queen Lambassador (61,876) (61,882) by QueenLambassador from Portugal Your opinion makes us look like jerks around the world. This type of negativity is making us look like we're more interested in number ones than in her hapiness or her artistic freedom. Criticism is good but too much can be disruptive and boring and as harmful as bashing. This is not what fans do. (Saturday 7 May 2016; 0:58)

Re: A new #1 (61,879) (61,881) by King Lambassador from USA Now if only everyone could just focus on this instead of negativity. Celebrate the achievements. Celebrate her music. Celebrate Mariah. We're all here for the music. (Friday 6 May 2016; 23:54)

Re: A new #1 (61,879) (61,880) by Giovanni from USA Sorry but I still want more number ones. (Friday 6 May 2016; 23:28)

A new #1 (61,879) by Tijl from Belgium In regard to the current mayhem on this page I would like to write a few words. - Mariah has 18 #1 hit songs. She also released many other hit songs that did not make into the pole position. - Mariah has won 252 awards the world over. These celebrated her voice, her artistic vision and her songwriting skills. - Mariah has inspired most of todays female artists such as Beyonce, Rihanna, etc. to follow a career in music. - Mariah is respected as an artist by musicians who aknowledge the effort and amount of passion she puts into her songs. - Mariah has overcome many challenges and difficulties in her life, as a professional and as a human being. - Mariah keeps on inspiring girls, boys, women and men of any social class, race or sexual orientation all over the world to keep believing not matter what. New #1 or not she is #1. (Friday 6 May 2016; 22:59)

Re: King and Queen Lambassador (61,876) (61,878) by King Lambassador from USA Yes and the empress is around but she hasn't posted yet. (Friday 6 May 2016; 22:21)

In reply (61,877) by Malcolm from Asia Mimi L. said it right. We are saying these things not for us but for the sake of Mariah. Yes, it's negative but seriously come on, it is true. I'm just saying those things because I know she wants respect, she wants to be credited and all that. But if she doesn't care about all of this, I'm not gonna bother posting my opinion about her image. Just try to read comments online and how the media write articles about her, you will see what we are talking about. (Friday 6 May 2016; 22:01)

King and Queen Lambassador (61,876) by Anthony Basco from Cardiff, Wales How fascinating, we have both the King and Queen in the house. Interesting. Anyway. It's my opinion, and I've no interest in whether you or anybody else believes or considers me a fan. As somebody who has paid heavily into the Carey brand, I'm more than allowed to voice my opinion. I'm not telling anybody what to do, and ultimately it's not my career or legacy, so at the end of the day I won't lose sleep. I just care enough to say - it doesn't have to continue being the circus side show it's become. Also pretty much everybody has said they aren't concerned with Mariah hitting number one or not. I don't know where that came from. If you think this is the way forward and it's all wonderful, great, I respect your feelings. Enjoy your Friday, as I'll enjoy mine, and raise my glass to you all. (Friday 6 May 2016; 21:47)

Re: Mariah Carey gives the world's most awkward lap (61,874) (61,875) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Sure and you don't need to tell me what I should or should not feel. Mariah herself has allegedly said she would give up her hits to earn the respect that people give to Mary J Blige. She also always complains about how people don't give her enough credit as a songwriter because they only see her as an over the top diva. In other words she wants the respect. I didn't say she should want respect, I said "if she wants respects". Next time read well before you write. (Friday 6 May 2016; 21:08)

Re: Mariah Carey gives the world's most awkward lap (61,872) (61,874) by King Lambassador from USA Since when does Mariah need to earn respect? Her legacy is untouchable. She doesn't need to earn respect from anyone. If you don't respect her, that's on you, not on her. (Friday 6 May 2016; 20:48)

Re: Mariah Carey gives the world's most awkward lap (61,872) (61,873) by QueenLambassador from Portugal Mimi L. you think Mariah needs to demand respect from who? The lapdance was weird yes and she even commented on it once it was finished but that doesn't mean she deserves less respect because of an awkward lapdance. She is a diva and she acts accordingly without being rude or desrespectful towards anyone. Her image isn't bad, it's just people wanting her to be different from who she is that makes it look bad. (Friday 6 May 2016; 20:45)

Re: Mariah Carey gives the world's most awkward lap (61,857) (61,872) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter No one is saying anything about what she wore or her confidence. I, for one think she looks great in the bodysuits and her body is in great shape, but I'm sorry we must be watching different videos if that lap dance was "sexy". It was unnecessary, awkward and clumsy. She is not the best dancer, she doesn't need to be. She has the voice, she however also doesn't also need to give random lap dances and tell her dancers to rub up against her from both sides and then ask them to get her boobs in the shot. You can either do that and or you can demand respect. If Mariah wants respect, this isn't the way to go. Day by day she is becoming more of a Kardashian, known more for her diva antics and over the top lifestyle than a legend, a songbird supreme. She is doing it to her own image. I won't blame her entourage because well, we all agree Mariah is smart enough so she should know better. (Friday 6 May 2016; 20:34)
