Re: Lead The Way tribute by Kyla (57,909) (57,961) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada This Kyla always leaves me with my mouth open. Her tone is so pure and beautiful. It takes a lot to cover Mariah, and to do it so elegantly. (Tuesday 24 November 2015; 21:17)

Re: Can't Say No snippet (57,932) (57,960) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Very nice. I love the snippet. Happy holidays MCA. (Tuesday 24 November 2015; 21:13)

Re: Lauren Murray's WBT on UK X Factor week 4 (57,915) (57,959) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada She did a good job. When people cover, I never expect it to sound the way Mariah does. But she held her own. Good for her. (Tuesday 24 November 2015; 21:02)

Whitney vs Mariah (57,958) by Myles from CT, USA Anyone remember this show on VH1 in the early 90s? They played back to back Whitney and Mariah videos only. The 90s was and will always be the best decade for music. (Tuesday 24 November 2015; 18:30)

Article: Mariah Carey on the best things (57,957) by Marissa from USA I thoroughly enjoyed this interview. I like the fact that MC can admit her weaknesses (like when she was talking about how she doesn't look good in red lipstick) unlike other celebrities who have egos the size of Russia and pretend that everything they do and wear is a hit. I also was surprised that she carried on a conversation about being a star in the '90s. Usually that spirit of "eternally 12" gets such a stronghold on her that she doesn't even acknowledge that she was alive back then. That was a big step in the right direction. In terms of her alluding to not getting credit for a lot of the trends that she started, I don't want her to get bitter about it which I sense she is already becoming. What's happening to MC has happened to every legend. After a certain point people forget the impact that you have made on the industry. Despite the 12 year old trolls in YouTube comments shouting that Ariana Grande is better than Mariah, I'd be willing to bet that there are way more people who consider Mariah a legend than there are people who are trying to tear her down. It's a matter of which side she focuses on more and she's giving people who don't give her credit too much attention. (Tuesday 24 November 2015; 18:07)

Re: A little response (57,947) (57,955) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Woah. Your response kinda threw me for a loop. I don't know what I was expecting but I'd never really considered that the language barrier would have made Mariah's music inaccessible to the working class in Mexico and more popular with the upper middle class. That's almost the polar opposite of what her brand is: positive, universal and accessible. Initially I was most shocked about her never having performed in concert in Mexico but that sorta made sense once I reread your post and got the real tea on how she hasn't connected with the masses over there. I guess her connection to Luis Miguel didn't translate to expanding her popularity in Mexico any more than it did for him in the Anglo-American market. I wonder why she wasn't ever properly promoted in Mexico when it's so close to America? Japan is a lot farther away both culturally, linguistically and geographically yet she is the biggest selling foreign act in Japanese recording history. Anyway, Gracias for the breakdown Lamb. Me gusta. (Tuesday 24 November 2015; 15:27)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey on '90s beauty, Hillary, and what's bleak (57,953) (57,954) by Lee TS from USA Yes, I have to agree. If I could use a catchphrase to describe M during the interview, it would be, "I'm sleep." (Tuesday 24 November 2015; 14:36)

Article: Mariah Carey on '90s beauty, Hillary, and what's bleak (57,953) by Martyn from England, UK I really wish she would answer questions properly like she used to. Half of these answers don't even mean anything, they're just ramblings. Hilarious to know that she's aware of the impact of "I don't know her", though. (Tuesday 24 November 2015; 12:51)

M's Secret Skin (57,952) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Yay According to People Magazine's lates issue, Mariah's gonna gift us with her secret skin lotion and it's soon or she wouldn't be talking about it already. I'm so excited because I have such sensitive skin and she's bound to cater to my demographic. Come through MACQueen, Beauty Icon, Style Innovator and Emullient Entrepreneur. Are you guys so excited? These things make me really really happy. (Tuesday 24 November 2015; 10:33)

Re: Melt Away (57,942) (57,951) by Mirage_Nunez from America Randy I'm certain Melt Away was meant for the Waiting To Exhale soundtrack. Obviously it was produced by Babyface and The soundtrack was probably being compose around the same time Daydream was being finalized as well. And also Whitney had control over who was and wasn't on the soundtrack which would explain why Mariah didn't make the cut. Check out 1:16 mark in this video. *side eye* (Tuesday 24 November 2015; 4:29)

Re: Can't Say No snippet (57,939) (57,950) by Tevin from USA Where can I find this snippet? (Tuesday 24 November 2015; 3:47)

Re: Lauren Murray's WBT on UK X Factor week 4 (57,915) (57,949) by Tevin from USA You can see how much of a lamb Rita Orta is, she was dancing as soon as the base dropped lol. (Tuesday 24 November 2015; 1:03)

Article: SoundTreks: Glitter (57,948) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Hack journalism at it's most vile. Ugh, there is always someone ready to come for Mariah to save their lesser irrelevant and fake faves. This whole write-up is just an excuse to plant negative stories, whitewash lies and perpetuate stereotypes that are as far away from the truth about Mariah as you can get. Jennifer Lopez' dirty hands in the forcible pilfering of the Firecracker sample from Loverboy and other shenanigans sabotaged Glitter. Everybody in the industry know what happened. Like why did his editor even approve of a review on a film/soundtrack 14 years late? You couldn't wait a few weeks for A Christmas Melody to analyse a musical film Mariah actually directed, starred and co produced? Benny Medina, is that you? So many rhetorical questions and yet so few unanswered (Tuesday 24 November 2015; 1:03)

A little response (57,947) by David F from Mexico Hello Baby from Dreamville. First of all thank you for reading my post. My father sent me to Anaheim, Ca. to study High School back in the 90's so I used to listen to radio a lot to find comfort, because my other relatives were in Mexico. I missed them a lot, so songs like Hero, Music Box, ATYNAF gave me profound feelings to keep going on. I used to listen to KISS FM or when I was at the shopping malls I saw the cd covers a lot and I wanted to discover more from her. However in Mexico I went to the Rainbow signing and Charmbracelet and I saw a lot of high class fans, because they only know English completely some of Mariah's songs are played in the biggest radios stations only, like Butterfly was played recently and I was surprised. She's never done a concert here so she never had a big connection with these fans the impressions she left, faded, and since then she has not come back again. I think is a matter of zero promo.

Re: Melt Away (57,942) (57,946) by Tevin from USA Didn't Mariah write Melt Away specifically for this soundtrack, but it got snubbed from it? Am I wrong? (Tuesday 24 November 2015; 0:39)

Re: "Melt Away" / "Waiting To Exhale" (57,945) by Billy from Greece I was just listening to WTE yesterday. Great songs, great artists. When the Chante Moore started playing and I heard her do the whistle notes I thought that this was their (Babyface's/ Whitney's/ Clive's) way of having a Mariah "moment" in the OST without Mariah, if you know what I mean. Could have been interesting though, having Mariah there, but remember back in 95 the Mariah/Whitney "rivalry" was at its peak. There was a journalist that did separate interviews with both divas around the same time and she brought each other's names each time. Nippy's reply was a bit more biting, while MC literally exhaled when replying "not for me" to a supposed rivalry situation. Oh dear Lord, the 1990s are back and never coming back. Twenty years since 1995? I have to stop counting. (Monday 23 November 2015; 22:37)

Article: SoundTreks: Glitter (57,944) by Billy from Greece One of the lamest and most uninformed reviews of "Glitter" ever. Just terrible sense of taste or of understanding this genre or Mariah's music as a whole. Why review it then? I also detest how he insists on Mariah not having a personality musically. Totally idiotic review. (Monday 23 November 2015; 22:20)

Randy / Waiting to Ezhale (57,943) by Myles from CT, USA yes. I was always so angry that Mariah was not featured on that amazing soundtrack. I would say right after SWV's All Night Long. I love it. (Monday 23 November 2015; 20:12)

Melt Away (57,942) by Randy from USA Am I the only one who feels this belonged on the Waiting To Exhale soundtrack? Dammit Tommy and Clive for creating a rivalry. Where on the soundtrack sequence do you think it belongs? (Monday 23 November 2015; 19:16)

Re: American Music Awards (57,938) (57,941) by B from USA Mariah's upper register has been sounding fine to me. She sounded great in Vegas. (Monday 23 November 2015; 17:40)

Re: Can't Say No snippet (57,932) (57,939) by B from USA Love it. I might like it more than IKWYW. Slay. Those resung vocals though wow. She's still got it. The resung vocals, the beat, and Rick Ross' part sound amazing. This sounds like a sure fire hit to me. (Monday 23 November 2015; 14:17)

Re: American Music Awards (57,936) (57,938) by ianianyo from Singapore Well, at least Celine Dion's segment was pretty breathtaking - her tribute to the Paris attacks. But, her upper register, like MC, seemed a little shaky though. (Monday 23 November 2015; 13:11)

Can't Say No is effing fire (57,937) by darrian liu from taiwan I knew I fell in love all over again with Can't Let Go after hearing the snippet. Sounds like a well-thought out remix and dammit, I have a feeling she's gonna be real close to hitting another home run. The Second Coming of Mimi, anyone? (Monday 23 November 2015; 11:34)

American Music Awards (57,936) by Giovanni from USA Was absolutely horrible. It was boring with medicore, lackluster performances. And having Jennifer Lopez host did not help at all. I feel someone as talented and legendary like Mariah was too good to be there. I mean there was really no one in the whole building who could compete with Mariah vocally. It's evident some people just don't like her probably because of her shade to other female artists. Or because they don't want her to break The Beatles record. But it's okay because if Mariah is really serious and brings great music she'll have another good era and a lot more success. I think it's time it happened. The Beatles been having that record way too long. (Monday 23 November 2015; 6:41)

Can't Say No (57,935) by Alexis Morell Carrington Colby Dexter Rowan from USA Yes. Can't let Go is my favourite song of hers. If there is a video, I just need her to revisit that classic up do and bracelet. She better pull a Madonna and mine her back catalogue. (Monday 23 November 2015; 4:55)
