What is happening (61,180) by Martyn from England, UK Have I taken acid or is this board completely O.O.C. at the moment? I can't work out whether to laugh or cry at some of the posts. (Saturday 9 April 2016; 13:42)

Re: Article: Meeting Mariah (61,167) (61,178) by Andrew from UK Haven't been to bed. Can really see straight. But can't believe it. Gotta be a joke. (Saturday 9 April 2016; 8:54)

New music (61,176) by Tameka walker from United states I would love for Mariah to put something new out. I have gone too long without new music from Mariah. I love Mariah and I think that the reason why her career has slowed down is because people like me don't know how to download but if it was sold in music shops the singles Mariah would be surpass The Beatles. When Mariah singles comes out I so badly want to support her but I don't know how to download like the young generation does. I strongly believe that if in stores Mariah would soar to new heights.

Article: Meeting Mariah (61,173) by juan manuel benabu from Argentina or Spain I'm in shock. I have days not sleeping, not eating so nervous and praying, I even didn't pay my rent house to meet her. I still waiting Mariah or her team contact me us they said. I gifted my grand grandmother diamond cross, and my most intimate problems, even my babe. No just few picture, even no post nothing about my meeting and her proposal? What is happening here? Mariah, remember you promised. Not just for me, for lot of people at my situation, I still believe in you and I will be waiting. I don't wanna cry more. (Saturday 9 April 2016; 6:35)

Mariah fan book (61,172) by Shirley from United States I made Mariah a book back in 2014 during her first annual Christmas show at the beacon theatre and I gave it to her but never got any feedback which I find very odd, because I have been to every Christmas show since 2014 and 2015 so that's 14 shows in total, and I tried getting her attention but I haven't been successful with that. I'm just hurt that I didn't even get a thank you or like "I read your book" because I came back every night after giving her that book and waited in the cold and rain for hours some time. It just makes me feel like an outsider once again. I know she's busy and I still love her and will be attending every show at the Beacon this year, but I'm just disappointed because she acknowledged another lamb who made her a book. Not that I'm mad because she did because I'm a lamb and I don't mean bad for anyone, I'm just sad. (Saturday 9 April 2016; 4:17)

Marissa (61,171) by Tiina from Finland Yes, I had a good laugh about that. The irony. (Saturday 9 April 2016; 2:57)

Big thank you / picture quality (61,170) by Tiina from Finland I just want to thank each one of you for understanding my point and dealing with my frustration and letting me vent. Thank you. And I really did not want to cause Juan to get upset. It's nothing personal. Someone asked about the quality of the pictures. My picture came in great quality which I'm really super happy about. It was just taken as I was walking up to Mariah, so I wasn't yet positioned for it. Luckily I turned my head and smiled at the camera but unfortunately Mariah is looking away. Some other fans got blurry pictures like the lense of the camera wasn't fully focusing or something. I don't blame the photographer because he looked stressed out. We were told they only take two pictures of each, so he had to nail those takes and because it all happened so fast, I'm sure it was a taunting task for him and unfortunately some pictures came out blurry.

Meet n' greet "scam" (61,168) by Nikki from usa I do sometimes wonder if MC fans are even familiar with other artists. Most do charge huge globs of money for meet n' greets. Mariah has actually been one of the few that never did. However, with every artist and their mother signing up with LiveNation, which is quickly becoming a monopoly promoter, this could very well be contractual as the tour was a part of the deal. So, the packages would be too. I've seen meet n' greets that could cost up to 1-2 grand and all you get is a group photo with a bunch of other fans in the mix. I don't know how much it cost to go to her concert in Europe, but her residency in Vegas is still one of the cheapest available. Her nosebleed sections start at $50 while the front row is $250. Meanwhile, J. Lo's nosebleed section starts at $179 and her front row seats with meet n'greet packages can go up to $3,000. Just to give you an idea. This isn't the '90's anymore. Things are more expensive and artists' don't get paid for their music anymore even if they're lucky enough to get it heard. (Saturday 9 April 2016; 2:18)

Article: Meeting Mariah (61,167) by Marissa from USA Isn't it interesting that this article comes out after we've been piping up about how misleading the meet-and-greets are? Hmmm. It's anecdotes like this that trick lambs into spending a fortune when they're only going to get 1/20th of the publicized experiences. (Saturday 9 April 2016; 1:54)

Article: Mariah Carey skips "American Idol" finale (61,166) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines First of all, congrats on the wise decision, Mariah. Who needs a show that has been a sinking ship since season 9 anyway? Funny how the writer of this article just focused on the Mariah-JLo feud and "neglected" to mention about Mariah's remarks about the show after she left. I guess it probably didn't occur to her/him that Mariah may not have been invited to do or say something in the first place? She was the only judge after all who was brave enough to call the show out. All I see is a writer choosing to perpetuate the feud between the girls to perpetuate it, intentionally leaving out the possibility it may actually be a feud between Mariah and the show. Classy.

Re: "Zach sings Mariah" next Sunday (61,156) (61,165) by B from USA Will you be posting/uploading videos of your performances? I love Now That I Know, excellent choice. (Saturday 9 April 2016; 0:23)

Re: Andrew and the Master Saga (61,158) (61,164) by B from USA I actually agree with you. This site has been my go to site for Mariah Carey news since 1998. He deserves praise for all of his hard work and dedication and Mariah should give him a shout out on social media for being our fearless leader. It isn't easy putting up with us, lol.

Re: "There's Got to Be a Way" remix (61,160) (61,163) by B from USA I don't think There's Got To Be A Way is cheesy. I think it's dated. However, it's about social injustice and discrimination which is still ongoing and it would be a fitting addition to her European tour set list especially after the terrorist attacks. (Saturday 9 April 2016; 0:17)

Re: To Juan, an apology (61,161) (61,162) by B from USA I agree that the picture should be high quality but I don't think MC should spend an hour or longer with each fan that buys the VIP package. She would be there all night. However, if the picture is supposed to be shot by a pro why wasn't it high quality? Was it your camera or did they take the pic? (Saturday 9 April 2016; 0:13)

Re: To Juan, an apology (61,130) (61,161) by B from UK I think you have every right to be aggrieved about your experience. Anyone paying money with the expectation of a certain result or experience should get it. If paying E700 was for a picture with your idol and you got a poor quality picture - it's fair enough to be upset about it and unfortunately it shows the ultimate attitude that Mariah and her team are looking to make money. If it was "all about the fans" a membership to HoneyBFly would be enough to qualify for a meet and greet. I'm sorry that you didn't get what you want and has left a bitter feeling towards a star that you obviously like a lot. (Friday 8 April 2016; 23:22)

"There's Got to Be a Way" remix (61,160) by Billy from Greece I had no idea that there were some additional adlibs towards the end of this remix, as well as some re-arranged background vocals. Wow. I've always regarded TGTBAW as the cheesiest song in Mariah's catalogue, which nonetheless functions as a perfect vocal showcase. (Friday 8 April 2016; 22:30)

Re: Sex and the City moment (61,154) (61,159) by Andrew from UK Brilliant. Love Aussie humour. (Friday 8 April 2016; 22:21)

Re: Andrew and the Master Saga (61,143) (61,158) by Andrew from UK As much as people such as the webmaster ("Eric? who's Eric?" - I remember that one) agreeing with me is novel and not disrespected, let's not vilify Juan. I have a thick skin, I'm aware that some other people do not. He made a mistake and was made to rethink and I'm not sure what good will come to emotionally compromise him any further. I'm obviously not flipping and criticising the criticisms but I would say let's just leave it there. What will be interesting to note is if there are any visitors to this board who have meet-and-greet tickets to upcoming SSFT performances so that they can relate their stories and see if Stella was made aware and reacted to what is obviously a PR issue and clearly within her remit. Nobody's pain is more or less deserving and all fans are worthy of respect from their idol although Orwell's "all animals are equal but some are more equal than others" comes to mind. The thing I do find shocking (not that he wants me to kiss his ass, nor do I want to) is that Eric/the webmaster has only met her once and was told not to touch her etc. Doesn't she know he does this website? That's crazy. I genuinely thought at some point over the course of history Mariah's people would have reached out and he would have met Mariah a lot and would receive at least some sort of special treatment. I genuinely thought that would have been a natural thing. I think Stella needs to do a PR review. If that documentary does not reflect reality she may regret it. (Friday 8 April 2016; 22:11)

Re: Tinna from Finland (61,149) (61,157) by enwar00 from usa Tiina I absolutely agree with Giovanni on this and thought the exact same thing when I saw your apology, that it showed what kind of person you are when you can still feel empathy in the situation. Hopefully the positive memories are what you'll remember from the experience as time goes by. (Friday 8 April 2016; 22:09)

Re: Rockefeller retrospective (61,152) (61,155) by Lee TS from USA What a nice message. Very sweet. (Friday 8 April 2016; 21:38)

Sex and the City moment (61,154) by Todd from Melbourne, Australia As I sat in my Sydney apartment, I couldn't help but wonder. Were the tabloids and rumours right? Was Mariah Carey actually a self centred diva with no concern for anybody else? (Friday 8 April 2016; 21:33)

Article: Mariah Carey skips "American Idol" finale (61,153) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Oh what wouldn't I do to watch Mariah's expression when JLo performed her brand new pathetic excuse of a song "Ain't your mama" on Idol. (Friday 8 April 2016; 21:04)
