Re: I love Rihanna (59,502) (59,503) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands Please, not another idiot who thinks the world is ruled by the illuminati. We had this insane discussion last year and I don't want to see something crazy like that repeated on this messageboard. So any reference to the illuminati will be deleted immediately.

Re: I love Rihanna (59,498) (59,502) by David G from USA Lack of knowledge is a bigger plight than poverty. Not being able to think with an open mind and know what is going on in the world is frightening. It is clearly evident that, that the music industry is controlled by the illuminati. Rihanna is being used like a pawn on the chess board to deliver their satanic messages through her music just like Gaga and Jay-Z. Michael Jackson and Whitney were both sacrificed by the illumanati as their record sales are worth more from them being dead. Clive Davis is alleged to be a big insider and so are many top level executives. If you look at the album cover for Rihanna's ANTI , you will see so many illumanati messages. For example, white symbolises purity and red suggests sacrifice. There could an implication that somebody is going to be sacrificed and what concerns me is her image with the crown meaning that she is aiming for someone's crown. I know it sounds crazy but please have a look on youtube regarding Rihanna and the illuminati. You can also search for Whitney's death caused by the illumanati and even MJ. In exchange for promoting their evil messages through the music and videos, they give the singer more exposure and a huge career boost. Thino of how she is gaining so many hits so quickly. It is a pity because talented legends like Mariah will have to work extra hard because she is not a member of the illuminati. She will have to compete with freak Queens and devil worshipers who are given first preference. In Rihannas's previous album, she had a tatoo of the Egyptian Goddess Isis on her breasts. It is public knowledge that the illuminati still worship Egyptian deities and invoke them in their ritual. The one dollar bill has the egyptian pyramid and all sing eye and they control not only the music industry but most industries. Please go and research a bit on this topic on YouTube and open your eyes to the truth. (Tuesday 2 February 2016; 11:33)

(59,501) by Giovanni from USA How amazing does Mariah look in that Venus picture. Those legs haha. Anybody know what year that whole thing with Venus was in? (Tuesday 2 February 2016; 10:58)

Re: Rihanna,Beyonce and Mariah (59,496) (59,500) by Giovanni from USA Exactly what I say. We might sound like some haters but it's the truth. I just don't see it. (Tuesday 2 February 2016; 10:12)

King - We Are King (59,499) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines A year ago, I have posted on my admiration for Prince-endorsed soulful female trio King, and even likened their sound to Mariah's vocal layering. Their album is finally coming out this Friday but is already available for streaming here. It's the dreamiest, most sophisticated, most successfully mood-setting album I have heard in a while. You can hear echoes of Mariah's Fourth Of July and Yours in the songs with their similarly lush production. It's the sonic equivalent of a plush, rainbow-colored pillow, with the most honeyed, inviting vocals since Corinne Bailey Rae first came out. (Tuesday 2 February 2016; 9:35)

I love Rihanna (59,498) by enwar00 from usa I post this to offset some of the hate. I'm grateful that I'm able to enjoy a multitude of music. I love Rihanna and I'm loving her new album Anti. In my opinion it is a piece of art, and there are a few songs on it that have moved me deeply. She is a singer. She has a very unique voice that many people like. I think her voice is very pretty and has been the draw for me since the beginning. To me she is beautiful. And I appreciate the free download. FYI the 1.4 million free downloads will not count on Billboard per their rules, so some people can breathe easy. However, she may break some more of Mariah's records. The world keeps turning. She is still in her 20s and is the most marketable. Also, just because someone or something is dark, it doesn't equate worshipping the devil. (Tuesday 2 February 2016; 7:16)

My next Mariah (59,497) by Nikki from usa I would like MC to redefine "diva" as I stated in my last post. She's always having her stats stated, but we're a visual culture. Peeps don't read these days. She needs to show people how she did it instead of the end result. I never understood why MC always complained about no one knowing her songwriting status. She doesn't talk about songwriting, just that she does it. MC's not on interviews talking about creating her favorite song, her process, or how she came up with it. We're not seeing her in specials behind the scenes. We used to get sneak peaks back in the day even though they were minor. They're non existent now. Yet, she makes up songs on stage and has no problem free styling. Music is a communication tool. Rich or poor, everyone has been through love problems. It's universal. No matter your job or status, you get stressed and just want to party or unwind. It's universal. This has been Mariah's strength. She's humble too. "Sometimes there's more fans and sometimes there's less fans." "You can't always be on top, you can't predict it, and you can't control it. All I can do is eat, dance, drink, and have fun. You like it? Good. You don't? Goodbye." If this side of her were more prevalent and she really showcased her artistry and knowledge I think the GP would be eating out of the palm of her hand.

Re: Rihanna,Beyonce and Mariah (59,492) (59,496) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I honestly don't get why Rihanna is so successful and has so many #1's. I can still be fine with Beyonce because she is a decent singer and a heck of a performer but Rihanna is neither a good singer, nor a good performer. Plus I also don't get why out of all people Mariah is always so positive about Rihanna. She usually doesn't talk about "loving" artists who are not good singers and/or creatively involved in their music. (Tuesday 2 February 2016; 5:18)

Mariah being seen and not heard (59,495) by Nikki from usa Spears had a few specials with the announcement of her residency and a lot of front covers of magazines along with press conferences. Today I see J.Lo on a cover at the store. Celebs brand themselves and propel an image they want the public to see them as. They use the media to their advantage in this way. It helps to combat all the batshit crazy the gossip mills spew. Mariah hasn't done this in eons. She simply has "quiet success" with her residency. I saw on the stand today a little section in the corner of a magazine that "Mariah demanded a 10 million ring". The general public actually believes that Mariah made Nick her slave and is making demands to Packer about what gifts she wants. To say people think she's self-absorbed is putting it mildly. But, there's nothing to counter it. Mariah stays quiet while the media continues to play. There's not enough coming from Mariah in these Mariah stories. The media has destoryed her image over the past 7 years and she hasn't countered it. She needs to return to the limelight and speak on her own behalf in all media forms. She's been the girl next door, hip-pop queen, and been emancipated. But, who is she now? You want women respected in Hollywood MC? Then, drop the ditzy diva act and back up your talent. I hope songwriter/ producer/ director/ singer is next along with a well deserved look at your 20 years of philanthropy. Show your business side, no one survives 25 years in a cut throat industry by being a moron. Re-define diva, please. (Tuesday 2 February 2016; 5:00)

Re diversity (59,494) by Nikki from usa Andrew, I'm not sure why your definition of diversity is white. Your only concern is for white people in Mariah's mix. That's not diverse. What's more is you seem repeatedly overly concerned about how many are black. You got a problem? Let me put your mind to rest. Tommy Mottola - white. Nick Cannon - black. Luis Miguel - latino. Derek Jeter - as mixed as MC. James Packer - white. See? Your white boys are still in the lead and Mariah's had diversity. (Tuesday 2 February 2016; 4:28)

Re: Mariah Carey calls for more diversity (59,471) (59,493) by 123 from USA Don't fall for the bait Trayvon. With some people you may feel its ignorance but considering the source, is a way to disrupt the peaceful vibe on the board lately. Everyone knows it's been mostly peaceful around here lately, God forbid. They knew what they were doing. Same with the Celine post Baby and Mimi L. You ended up giving in to their objective without even realizing it. Regardless of my opinion, I still loved all three of your responses. (Tuesday 2 February 2016; 2:16)

Rihanna,Beyonce and Mariah (59,492) by Giovanni from USA Ri Ri and B are two of the most overrated artists of today. Rihanna isn't a singer, and her music does nothing for me. Beyonce can sing but I feel the same way about her music. Both do whatever to be top, but I don't think neither will last as long as Mariah. Mariah's songs are timeless and still sound just as fresh today as they did when they were first released. She shouldn't ever have to worrry about anyone in the music industry. Especially artists like Rihanna and Beyonce. All she needs is her voice, great music, good videos, hella promotion and support from her fans. Get back with Jermaine and come up with something new. Or hit up Pharell for that upbeat uptempo hit everyone seems to want lol. And I'm sure Ben Margulies would be more than happy to work with you again. So make it happen Mariah. We all want a hit album just like the good old days. You can do it. Also, good luck in Vegas. (Monday 1 February 2016; 23:29)

Re: (59,472) (59,491) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter What was your point Andrew? (Monday 1 February 2016; 21:55)

Re: Hashtag-riah (59,486) (59,490) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Stella trying to make Roc look like a fool saying he thinks on a roller coaster while he is on bed. Roc better not see that tweet, or he will give Stella a piece of his mind. (Monday 1 February 2016; 21:53)

Re: Question time (59,462) (59,489) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada I'd love a club track. Her work with people like David Morales always leaves me astonished. Something summery feeling to crank in the car while the sun is shining would be absolutely awesome to me. Lol. (Monday 1 February 2016; 21:40)

Re: Mariah Carey medley (59,463) (59,488) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada This was really well done. Smiles all the way through. Thanks. (Monday 1 February 2016; 21:33)

Re: (59,472) (59,487) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End "Just watched Rene Angelil's funeral. Unbelievably moved. Love of your life. Christ. How moving. Good luck to Mariah and the billionaire love of her life." You're a real piece of work the way you use something as poignant as the passing of Celine's René to make a dig at Mariah. Sad, yet predictable. You probably won't know how compassion feels until it's too late. (Monday 1 February 2016; 19:00)

Hashtag-riah (59,486) by Malcolm from Asia So I saw this tweet of Mariah and I can't hold back my laugh because Stella is at it with the weird hashtags haha. It's clearly must have been "Roc thinks he's on a roller coaster movie night" rather than that, it's so hilarious haha. If her team will handle the social media accounts forever, they must attend a seminar on how to use hashtags and whatsoever. I miss the time when Mariah herself tweets, it's so real, no photos, no advertisement, no hashtags, just a pure tweet expressing herself. Way back to 2009, one friend retweet this from her: "Someone was disturbed by the lack of perfect grammar in my tweets. For the record, its a tweet, not a thesis, dear. Relax. I tweet on." Slayed. (Monday 1 February 2016; 18:41)

Rihanna (59,485) by David F from Mexico I see Rihanna is wearing a crown on her new album, like a threat, I will be very sad if she surpasses Mc for most no. 1, her music is very dark, generic, she is very ambiciuos person and kind of ugly, Jay Z obviously is helping her, and that would not be fair since Mariah help him in a lot of ways, S he has achieved so much in little time, honestly the are better artists, don't know why US people download her, I saw on YouTube she is in the 666 circle, like Drake praising the 6 number, and I saw Adele's Rolling video, there is actually a demon on one of the walls, what is going on, thank God Jesus exists. . (Monday 1 February 2016; 18:29)

Re: Just for the nostalgia (59,481) (59,484) by Warren from Trinidad & Tobago So darn true. I remember seeing Bringing On The Heartbreak at the Mall of America and they were actually zoomed in on her face for the high note and remembered thinking I never saw that, plus she really worked to get that note out. Since then anything difficult she's hidden or zoomed out. (Monday 1 February 2016; 18:09)

Re: View from a penthouse (59,440) (59,483) by Warren from Trinidad & Tobago That's a very good point. As much as I like most of her new music and skip tracks on albums much less than the old ones, she needs a change in direction very badly. (Monday 1 February 2016; 17:41)

Re: Mariah Carey calls for more diversity (59,475) (59,482) by Travon..SweetSweetFantasy from USA My apologies if I offended you in any way. I am about to head out and work. I said what I needed to say. Now I am moving on. Have a great day. (Monday 1 February 2016; 17:17)

Just for the nostalgia (59,481) by Leito from USA This weekend, I found myself in a nostalgic mood. I spent lots of time reviewing several of MC's liv awards show performances, from 1990-2015. I noticed around 2002ish, there was a change in her performances. We can all agree, when it comes to hitting certain notes, she's lost her confidence. I also noticed, there was a time she didn't care how contorted her face looked, she just sang the heck out of the song. However, there came a point, when she started covering her face, or turning around a lot. I believe this hinders her, from having flawless performances. She seems more concerned about someone catching her doing an ugly face. I wish she would go back to where she didn't care about looking pretty all the time. She needs to just sing her butt off and make moments. I know she still has it in her. She hasn't retired yet and I know she would love to have another hit. Most of the public (non-Lambs) already think she lip-synchs all the time. She needs to get down-n-dirty and slay the world. (Monday 1 February 2016; 16:24)

Rihanna (59,480) by George Golden from UK See this is what I keep saying. Rihanna s new song is fire. I am a Rihanna lover/hater because of Mariah. Rihanna has a very limited voice but boy does she know how to pick a hit. Forget about the album going platinum because we all know why. But the thing is she has potential number one songs coming it's scary. She knows she is close to overtaking Mariah so she is really hungry and thirsty for that crown. I understand Mariah is enjoying her new life and love, but she should not forget about the music. The music is suffering so bad. She should come up with something fresh and uptempo for a first release. A fresh new sound and maybe a 70s disco kind of feel. Enough with all those outdated bouncy shake it off kind of sounds. Please Mariah we need a big hit album from you ASAP. (Monday 1 February 2016; 15:59)
