Re: We can only hope (61,232) (61,267) by Dennis from Miami, FL I agree with you Andy. She always wanted be respected for her art, not for commercial success. I understand her struggles with the label and Tommy. I have just finished reading Hitmaker: The Man and His Music. It's just like what Cory Rooney said in the article about Mariah's collaborators: "Mary doesn't have to sell 28 million records to be respected - people respect Mary, and I just want to be respected like her." And I realized the extent of damage made to George Michael's career by the suits in Sony. That he wanted to be an artist, not an asset. The same thing happened to Mariah after divorce with Tommy.

Re: Nathan Morris (61,260) (61,266) by TJ from Norway And in Oslo, at the Nobel Peace Price Concert, back in 1997. (Wednesday 13 April 2016; 14:41)

Re: Future releases (61,219) (61,265) by Blue Riding Hood from Outside But most of them have samples included. Hence, the writers of the original song is credited. Majority of Mariah's work barely has over two writers. She just gives credit to the composers. (Wednesday 13 April 2016; 14:09)

Re: Hey hey hello (61,247) (61,264) by Martyn from England, UK On the subject of message board rules, is there any way you would consider adding a rule about people abbreviating song titles? Whenever I see IWKWLI or YDKWTD or things like that, I often have to spend ages trying to work out which song it is, and usually can't and give up haha. Anyway, just a suggestion, I may be the only one without the intelligence to work these out, in which case ignore me. (Wednesday 13 April 2016; 13:55)

Re: Eddie / Rae Rae vs Stella (61,257) (61,263) by Martyn from England, UK I can't seem to find this comment? Which photo was it on and what does it say? (Wednesday 13 April 2016; 13:52)

Re: Mariah Carey - Tallinn and Riga 2016 Vocals (61,259) (61,262) by Dav from Ireland Wow. Third vocal prime. (Wednesday 13 April 2016; 12:49)

Re: Jenny / length of the show / SSFT Mariah's vocal (61,261) by Joanna from Poland Jenny, the concert here in Poland lasted 1 hour and 35 minutes or so. It seemed much longer though. We were in the front raw right in front of her, it was an amazing experience to be that close to her. Although she said she wasn't feeling well that day, her vocal was brilliant. She also interacted with us, I personally could feel the connection. (Wednesday 13 April 2016; 11:31)

Nathan Morris (61,260) by MC1989 from Spain Have to desagree with him. It isn't true that they only performed OSD twice. As far as I know they did it live at MSG in 1995, at the Grammys in 1996, at Lady Di's tribute in 1997, at BET in 2001 and during TAOMT in 2006. By the way I wouldn't be avaliable either after what he said after Jamaica's disaster. (Wednesday 13 April 2016; 9:15)

Mariah Carey - Tallinn and Riga 2016 Vocals (61,259) by 123 from USA I'm so tired of Mariah being so consistent instead of vocally inconsistent. Before this last Vegas run, I was always nervous each time she had to perform. I wasn't even about how she was going to sound and more about just being able to get through a decent performance. Can you imagine the reaction if she performed with vocals from this tour at the Billboard Awards? I hope this improvement becomes a new normal. (Wednesday 13 April 2016; 8:13)

Re: Hey hey hello (61,247) (61,258) by 123 from USA I've said it before and I'll say it again, you need to post more (Eric). I especially love when you tell someone about themselves. (Wednesday 13 April 2016; 5:42)

Eddie / Rae Rae vs Stella (61,257) by Ty from USA Mariah's creative dance team from the Mimi has started a war on Instagram. On Rae's page he calls Stella a witch and that they are dangerously controlling Mariah. Go look at her page and see Eddie's long comment about them using Mariah and how Stella hates the lambs.

Mariah Carey's collaborators share untold stories (61,256) by Will from England It sounds like ODB and Puff was a nightmare to work with from a producer's perspective, and not quite the smooth sailing that Mariah paints when she talks about the collaboration. Calling Mariah "whack"? Good thing I'm not Mariah because I would've not bothered to work with him again lol. And the story behind "Breakdown", BTNH passing out in the studio is not quite how I imagined it going down lol. And reading whom she was thinking of when she began to write OSD is a touching moment, especially with what's been going on in the news. It's really nice to see the praise Mariah gets as a songwriter and a melodist/top-line writer, and not just a diva/singer. (Wednesday 13 April 2016; 0:32)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey: SA should "expect the unexpected" (61,242) (61,255) by Luke from United Kingdom Wasn't that an old interview from earlier on in the year when the tour was announced? I'm sure I remember listening to it before haha. (Wednesday 13 April 2016; 0:29)

Re: We can only hope (61,232) (61,251) by Andrew from UK I miss 90's Mariah's breasts. They didn't require their own area code and she only got them out on special occasions. Maybe she could put them away once in a while. A bit like her camel-toe in that black leotard. You know, "just for the nostalgia". (Tuesday 12 April 2016; 20:19)

Re: Lambs I need your input (61,245) (61,250) by Malcolm from Asia I believe it is lipped. But honestly now, I just tend to see the silver lining that it confuses more people whether it is live or not because her live vocals are so good and so on-point with the lipped parts. But of course I also want for her to do a straight-up live performance at least in her TV appearances or anywhere that a lot of people can see and appreciate her. (Tuesday 12 April 2016; 20:01)

Radio interview South Africa (61,249) by Seth M from South Africa Here is the link to the South African radio interview this morning. (Tuesday 12 April 2016; 19:44)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey: SA should "expect the unexpected" (61,242) (61,248) by Licia from USA I agree. I expect the same songs. I'm hoping she will prove me wrong, but we all know exactly what the setlist will be. Lol. (Tuesday 12 April 2016; 18:34)

Re: Hey hey hello (61,243) (61,247) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands If you don't follow my rules ("try to write understandable English, with the proper use of dots and capitals"), your messages won't get posted. And besides, your messages are very very very long, full of self-pity. We already know you're bi, that you impregnated a girl when you were 16 years old, that you, your daughter and your mother are sick, that you were married twice and divorced twice by the age of 29, that you don't have money and still manages to travel to Helsinki from Spain, that Mariah made you false promises so she didn't had to listen to your whining, that you gave her an expensive necklace instead of selling the item and use the money for rent, that you're still in Helsinki on vacation, etc. (Tuesday 12 April 2016; 18:26)

O.D.B. at Madison Square Garden (61,246) by MC1989 from Spain Does anybody have the whole footage of O.D.B. singing Fantasy at the MSG which appears at the end of the video from the concert? It seems it was the only time he performed it live. (Tuesday 12 April 2016; 18:14)

Re: Lambs I need your input (61,224) (61,245) by Warren from Trinidad & Tobago Seriously, I was just looking for clarification because I couldn't tell myself. (Tuesday 12 April 2016; 18:07)

Hey hey hello (61,243) by juan manuel benabu from Argentina or Spain Don't understand what is happening, i just was nice. I want to explain few item discusses but they don't post my post, what is happening? Why I can be free to help or explain? Mmm. (Tuesday 12 April 2016; 15:29)

Article: Mariah Carey: SA should "expect the unexpected" (61,242) by Malcolm from Asia I don't know but whenever I see an article or interview of Mariah saying "expect the unexpected" or "full of surprises", I usually expect the expected. It doesn't excite my nerves or whatnot because I know that she is not that type and the unexpected or surprises that she mentions are always minimal. Performs Faded, have an exceptional performance number (I always vision her singing Hero with a super long dress while in a platform that moves upward in the climax, accompanied by violins and of course the fans that blows her hair and the dress haha), brings another artist on stage to perform new song, premiere a teaser for an upcoming music video are the few things that must signify that "unexpected" statement. I guess this is the effect of being thirsty for new music haha. (Tuesday 12 April 2016; 14:52)

Re: Article: Rihanna tops Hot 100 for eighth week (61,233) (61,241) by enwar00 from usa They never mention him anymore, I noticed that. Maybe because some of his #1s predated their precious Hot 100 chart they stopped referring to him? Billboard has changed. (Tuesday 12 April 2016; 14:24)

Re: New album (61,231) (61,240) by Tameka walker from United states Thank you, I feel the same way. Take care. (Tuesday 12 April 2016; 13:53)

Length of the show (61,239) by Jenny from South Africa Hi guys. I was wondering from the guys who have attended the SSFT how long the show lasts once Mariah starts performing. My ticket says 45 minutes. I just attended Josh Groban on Sunday and it was 2 hours and the time seemed to fly by. (Tuesday 12 April 2016; 13:20)
