"Triumphant era" 2011-2013 (59,106) by 123 from USA I forget what was going on during this era of her career. Sometimes I wish she could have dropped the album during its original date in 2012. She had a lot of great live vocals then. She sounded rested, scaled back some of the playback, and went for vocals and sounded really good doing it. It would have been nice to hear her sing her new songs with that era's vocals. Even her stage presence had returned. (Friday 15 January 2016; 3:47)

Mariah - Uniclef Ball (59,105) by 123 from USA Nice to see her out there singing. She did sound like she needed a little more rest. I need her to do whatever she was doing to prepare for the Beacon shows for Vegas and the European tour. I don't mind partial lipping as long as the live vocals sound great. It would be nice to see her re-work some of the vocals to her classics like she did Always Be My Baby in Jamaica. Also, instead of lipping the bridge everytime, she could improvise like she did in this clip. In regards to her image, wow does she look amazing. She really does look like 2006 at the ball.

New album (59,104) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Whenever Mariah is ready to drop her new album, I hope she gets all her ducks in a row before announcing it. What went messy from 2012-2014 was she kept uploading pictures every day about her being in the studio and talking about surprises and all, which initially got the lambs fired up but then things started to fizzle when there were multiple delays and we never got to see or hear some of the promised surprises. So I hope that Mariah keeps it hush-hush until she has the album completely ready and her singles picked out. Then she can start dropping hints on her social media just a few days before dropping the first single. No more push backs or delays if something like the album name gets leaked, no more chalking songs up as buzz singles if they under perform (in fact she has to be very careful with her single choice, so get someone young to give an opinion), no more long letter with "on the bathroom floor" moments after someone uploads the wrong track on Facebook. Everything has to be just perfect. Side note, Mariah I hope you are working on that club banger. I need a new song to jam to with my girls, I have abused ILT for almost a decade now.

Re: Andrew possessed by the spirit of a positive lamb? (59,100) (59,103) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Although Mariah's flashy lifestyle never bothers me (I mean the woman worked hard day in and out and earn them green papers so she can spend it, and I'd rather someone who earned it be flashy than the Kardashian-Jenners). But yes, I want her to get her fire back in her musical career. Mariah Carey can rise up over all if only she puts her all in it. I see that happening gradually since last year, but I hope during the next album release she gets everything right. I need just one more TEOM equivalent success to rub it in some people's faces who keep saying that Mariah is past her sell date. Talent wins over everything and Mariah has talent.

Re: Vegas (59,099) (59,102) by Ryan from Canada Yeah just checked the tickets again. February 19 at 8 pm. I am front orchestra row, right on the side of the stage. (Thursday 14 January 2016; 22:33)

My first post (59,101) by safe from jamaica I feel so excited to be on this platform for the first time, where we all share diverse opinions about the life, career, legacy and style of the queen of music Mariah Carey. I've been a fan since the 90ies and will remain a Mariah fan for life. Just to let Mariah know we love her dearly over here in Nigeria. (Thursday 14 January 2016; 22:11)

Re: Andrew possessed by the spirit of a positive lamb? (59,085) (59,100) by Andrew from UK Dear Mimi L (what's your actual name?), I actually lol'd in real life. My opinion is my own. I can vociferate about the nonsense of Hallmark and the current tragic image of being rich-beyond (diamonds everywhere, trying on jewellery, boyfriend being a billionaire) being not remotely conducive to the notion of her music and voice moving the common man (or female man), but if this is a return to the day job, if this is one final push for a legacy, I will forgive and bleat like a lamb. I want something back for my fandom. I'm owed it. We all are. A life spent supporting and defending something, or someone, deserves a last hurrah. I have suggested she should just bow out. But I also decided I wouldn't give up on her, after much sadness and soul-searching. So I'll go with it. Funny, I watched the TOTP Heartbreaker performance the other day (introduced by Christina in quite a bitchy way - did anyone else get that?) and her lip-syncing was the mime of someone who believed in herself and was working - actually working. I need Mariah to get back to her day job and work. And whilst I won't apologise for my comments, I hope one day I have reason to let the recent disappointment go. The art of letting go, eh. Much love to you. (Thursday 14 January 2016; 21:57)

Re: Vegas (59,098) (59,099) by enwar00 from usa Hi Ryan. Fun story. Are you sure you're going to a show on Friday the 19th? I'm going that weekend as well but thought she was only doing a show that Saturday and Sunday, and therefore was going on Saturday the 20th. (Thursday 14 January 2016; 21:48)

Vegas (59,098) by Ryan from Canada I finally bought my tickets for Vegas. Very excited. I'm taking my husband and my best friend who are both not fans of Mariah. I think my husband is a closet Mariah fan as when I play her music I catch him lipping and sometimes singing to it. Lol. My bf can't stand her but appreciates her voice and wants to see her live only to see my reaction of finally seeing Mariah for the first time in 25 years of being a lamb. Lol. Anyone else here going to the February 19 concert? (Thursday 14 January 2016; 18:58)

Re: Mariah new songs (59,094) (59,097) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Dahlin' don't forget the Morales collaboration that happened during the "Chanteuse" era. I wanna know what happened to that. (Thursday 14 January 2016; 16:57)

Re: Article: Star-studded UNICEF Ball (59,091) (59,096) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Lord yes, the TAOLG cover art is perfection. That hair is gorgeous. That hair and the hair photo I posted along with the "#Beautiful" video hair and GMA hair were similar if not the same and it was kind of her signature hair style for 2013. Like the mermaid curls were her signature for 2005 and the blow outs for 2008. I think she should cut the hair like the TAOLG. It's hot tamale. (Thursday 14 January 2016; 12:54)

Re: Completely unrelated but (59,089) (59,095) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Darren, my prayers and well wishes to you and the beautiful city of Jakarta. Stay safe and hopefully this problem goes away as soon as possible. (Thursday 14 January 2016; 12:51)

Mariah new songs (59,094) by Terna from Nigeria Diane Warren hinted that they had written a hit together last year, then there's the Calvin Harris superstar track. Also songs we heard about during the Elusive era like Hope Street, Kick Rocks and a host of others (I've forgotten their titles). I have a good feeling about this year. It's going to be extremely successful for Mariah and she's gonna have her biggest era ever. Don't think this woman doesn't know what she's doing, recall how hush hush The Emancipation Of Mimi was until it exploded on the charts lol. The element of surprise is golden. (Thursday 14 January 2016; 12:35)

New era (59,093) by Giovanni from USA Who else is ready for a new era from our favorite queen? Mariah is looking so amazing and fresh. Her latest pics from UNICEF's ball gave me flashbacks of "TEOM". It's as if 2005 Mariah was back and on fire. I hope new music is on the way soon. (Thursday 14 January 2016; 11:16)

Re: Thegrapejuice.net article on Mimi (59,079) (59,092) by Blue Riding Hood from Outside I have stopped bothering with that site. The sheer amount of trolls there is embarrassing. I would advise you not to waste your valuable time on pleasing some troll's desires. (Thursday 14 January 2016; 11:09)

Re: Article: Star-studded UNICEF Ball (59,090) (59,091) by Giovanni from USA I completely agree with you. I dig the "Beautiful" hairstyle Mariah was rocking in the video. It's actually my favorite look on her. How she wore on "The art of letting go" cover is perfect. I feel Mariah is older for the straight hair. She's looking so good. I can't wait for a new era to kick off. (Thursday 14 January 2016; 11:00)

Re: Article: Star-studded UNICEF Ball (59,088) (59,090) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter No but the sleek straight is a hit or miss. Sometimes it makes her face look bigger than it really is because straight hair reduces the volume of the hair and since it is lying flat, it makes the face appear bigger. For me I think she should go for her 2013 hair a little shorter and wavy, like the type she had in the "#Beautiful" music video. This is one of my favorite. The hair she had during the GMA performance of #Beautiful is similar and looks great on her. I am absolutely done with the TEOM mermaid curls though. Leave them in 2005. I also love me some blow out hairstyles like this she wore for a magazine shoot. Last but not the least, if she wants curls, the "Hermosa" video curls are the way to go, soft and sexy.

Completely unrelated but (59,089) by darrian liu from taiwan Yesterday, the city I live in, Jakarta, was bombed and terrorized. To be honest I'm terrified because the terrorists are still on the loose. Pray for Jakarta, please. (Thursday 14 January 2016; 10:11)

Article: Star-studded UNICEF Ball (59,088) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines And this is why Mariah should maintain having sleek, straight tresses. This look is like straight out of the TEOM era. The poofy, curly do ages her in my opinion, and makes her even seem more of a diva. Her straight hair brings out her nice bone structure and even slims her down. Looks like someone's gearing up for a comeback. (Thursday 14 January 2016; 4:27)

Re: VOL, My All, WBT, Hero performances from last night (59,082) (59,087) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Thank you so much foe posting the video link. I really enjoyed this. (Thursday 14 January 2016; 2:03)

Andrew possessed by the spirit of a positive lamb? (59,085) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Who are you and what have you done to our Andrew? In the name of Butterfly, Charmbracelet and Rainbow, I condemn thee back to Unicorn land. Haha nah just kidding, it's great to see fans like Andrew say positive things about Mariah's improvement because that means that there actually has been a good amount of improvement in her. All aboard the Mariah love train. Looks like we are all ready for the re-emancipation of Mimi. (Wednesday 13 January 2016; 22:46)

So so Unicef (59,084) by Andrew from UK Mariah is looking thinner/better, and sounds pretty good in the UNICEF snippets. She sounds like a vocalist and not someone struggling to get some notes out in the right order. She looks comfortable. I don't wanna rush ahead of myself and forgive the past few years, but, well, not bad, MC. Maybe she does listen to criticism. It's almost like she's becoming an engaging, commanding artist again. Let everyone pay attention. She may just pull this off once more. Much love. (Wednesday 13 January 2016; 22:31)

Re: The second coming of Mimi (59,076) (59,083) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Darn you Lee TS. I hate your post but everything you said is true. Haha, no I don't hate your post, I just hate the idea about not having new material soon. But you are right, we have been getting "buzz singles" since 2012. Another under performing song and Mariah will suffer a huge blow. So her next "era" needs to be all thought out and planned to perfection. From lead single to packaging, promotion, single plan, album songs, and music videos. (Wednesday 13 January 2016; 19:53)

VOL, My All, WBT, Hero performances from last night (59,082) by Nick from USA I haven't found any videos from last night yet but there is this periscope of all of these songs, she did alright. [...] last night though. What a great way to start off 2016. Last year I thought we would never see her looking like herself again, but here she is proving me wrong. Slay me for filth Mimi. (Wednesday 13 January 2016; 19:29)

Re: The second coming of Mimi (59,073) (59,080) by Blue Riding Hood from Outside If the factors play right, she can certainly. I just want her to get 3 more #1s to surpass the Beatles. I don't think Uptown Funk or Party Rock Anthem is worthy of being the successor to We Belong Together as the Song of the Decade. I hope Mariah makes a hattrick. (Wednesday 13 January 2016; 19:17)
