Re: As a Latin fan (58,972) (58,990) by Giovanni from USA You're probably right, thanks. It just would've been a nice album to have. (Saturday 9 January 2016; 4:33)

Re: Stella. Stop. Please. (58,987) (58,989) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ugh don't even get me started. Ever since Stella took over Mariah's account, she has turned it into a joke with all the meaningless and childish hash tags, hazy unrelated old pictures and all that good stuff, something I don't picture Mariah doing at all. The picture (that I used in my avatar) has the hash tags "Rocky wants Swedish fish" and "Roe Roe wants sour candies". What the heck does it have to do with the picture? Then there is the uber impressive (not) "shake and bake" on the photo of her running. The random "Can't let go" with the Christmas presents picture and the list goes on and on. It's just annoying. This is a legendary pop star's account, not a wanna be instagram model. (Saturday 9 January 2016; 2:22)

Disgusting and jealous people (58,988) by Seth M from South Africa It is clear that Mariah has enemies trying to run her down. The person who made this video is disgusting and filthy minded. I get so mad when I see stuff like this. [Webmaster: For obvious reasons I won't post the link to the video.] (Saturday 9 January 2016; 0:19)

Re: Stella. Stop. Please. (58,986) (58,987) by B from USA Hashtag game weak Stella, hashtag game weak. Bahah. Thanks for making me laugh out loud. (Saturday 9 January 2016; 0:01)

Stella. Stop. Please. (58,986) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Stella at it again with the old photos. By the way Stella, this wasn't the last time she went on the show, she was there to reveal a snippet of the "Infinity" music video. This post might be a foreshadowing of her appearing in the Ellen show soon, but "#glam" seriously? Celebs just usually post photos without all the stupid hashtags. Also enough with most of her pics having the "eternally 12" hashtag, or the "pon de" something hashtag. We get it, you know some "Mariahism", no need to put it everywhere. "Hashtag game weak Stella, hashtag game weak". (Friday 8 January 2016; 23:11)

Re: Oh please, Adele? (58,980) (58,985) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Oops. In my last post I meant "Out of the woods" lol. I just watched something called "Into the woods" and got the two things mixed in my head. Lol. As for MC saying "I only listen to my own material", I just don't buy that. I honestly think she responds that way sometimes so that the media doesn't run with something she says about someone else. (Friday 8 January 2016; 22:50)

Eric (58,983) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Hey Eric, hope you are doing well. I seem to be having a little problem with the layout from my laptop. The message board changed so now I have to click on each message to read it, instead of it just displaying all the messages as normal. What I am trying to say is the display now looks like how it looks when I access it from a mobile device. Ok never mind, it's back to normal now. Sorry. (Friday 8 January 2016; 22:34)

New music (58,982) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I am so ready for some new music. I hope we get some soon. Like what happened to the hype that "Superstar" is her next single. Plus what about them Diane Warren collaborations? Come through Mimi. We need a hot song. (Friday 8 January 2016; 22:23)

Re: Oh please, Adele? (58,980) (58,981) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Deedre it's a good thing you brought up the fact that Mariah is a musical encyclopedia. A lot of her collaborators (writers and singers) have talked about how much Mariah knows about music and musicians and that they were blown away by her knowledge. But recently every time they ask her about who she is listening to at the moment, she mostly answers with "I listen to my own material". Except for the last time when she mentioned "The Weeknd". So her saying she only listens to her own material worries me a little because that kinda limits her to her previous work. I would want her to listen to some good current music not so that she jumps on a bandwagon but so that it inspires her to perhaps cook up something new and start a new trend in the process. Because fans have been begging her to think outside the box for a while and she did just that when she went ahead and collaborated with Miguel. I always have a greatest respect for Mariah because she is so hands on with her projects by being in control of writing, producing and singing of course, but I think it would be a change if once in a while she lets in other people to shake things up a little. Not asking her to completely give up control though, because I love me so Mimi writings. (Friday 8 January 2016; 22:15)

Re: Oh please, Adele? (58,970) (58,980) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada this_is_qhm and Mimi L, it's nice to see other lambs also appreciate Taylor. 1989 is a fantastic album overall. (Though I do agree about "Bad Blood" and "Into The Woods".) I absolutely love "You Are In Love" and would be so happy if that were a single. It wasn't included in the deluxe version of 1989 and was only made available to buy as a song a few months ago here, but the thing I love about the album is that it is another example of how pop music can not only be good music, but as we know from Mariah's catalog, lyrically intelligent and meaningful. I know some fans don't like other music or other artists being discussed here, but here's the thing, Mariah has admitted on several occasions, since the launch of her career being obsessed with music. She's a fan herself and is practically a musical encyclopedia genius. I think it only enriches discussion about music and where Mariah comes from as an artist writing and creating music. I certainly get not talking about other people 24/7, but most of the time if someone else is brought up, it is within the context of Mariah herself or music trends of the moment which to me makes interesting discussion. Just my 02 cents. (Friday 8 January 2016; 20:36)

Aretha Franklin singing "Touch My Body" (58,979) by Ardis Logic from Earth Flash Back Friday: I remember when this first came out. I wonder what Mariah thought about this. (Friday 8 January 2016; 20:30)

YDKWTD (58,978) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ugh so I listened to this song after a long time again and I can't deal with the pain that this song was ignored by Mariah. It's fire. This song with a good 70's inspired video and a few live performances would just blow everything up. Especially if she did it like the one live version she performed at the Today show. I am talking about the part at the end when she sings "You don't know what you do to me" and the back up singers follow suit and it just seems like a girl group chorus. It was perfect. I know a lot of people don't like Wale on the track, but I actually like his parts, I would just like his voice removed when Mariah is doing the acapella intro. The song reminds me of Fantasy for some reason. Another heartbreak that will forever upset me. Right up there with "The One", "Mine Again", "Migrate", "Side Effects", "E=MC2" in general, "Inseparable", "Betcha Gonna Know", "Faded", "Money" and "Thirsty". (Friday 8 January 2016; 19:26)

Re: As a Latin fan (58,972) (58,977) by TJ from Norway Mariah has recorded a lot of songs that she didn't write herself. I can think about at least 9 songs plus a lot of Christmas music. I don't think her "Spanish" is good enough to record an album. I hope for a really strong pop-friendly album. Loose the RnB. (Friday 8 January 2016; 18:39)

Re: New music (58,969) (58,976) by Warren from Trinidad & Tobago So would I, but to be honest, I would like her to wait until the end of the year to be not in the same consideration year as Adele for the Grammy's. Granted we all know that Adele is a Grammy darling and Mariah isn't but going up against her would just not look good, because as much as we will want her to win, we wouldn't want another 1996 happening. (Friday 8 January 2016; 17:33)

Praying for Mariah's voice (58,975) by Ben from Sweden How many of us has sent prayers for healing of Mariah's voice? I have since I was a teen. I've always felt grateful listening to her soaring song. (Friday 8 January 2016; 14:20)

Re: Oh please, Adele? (58,970) (58,974) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I agree that "Style" is more #1 worthy than "Bad Blood". "Style" is more sophisticated while "Bad Blood" sounds juvenile. I also think "Wildest Dreams" was a beautiful song. Love everything about it. (Friday 8 January 2016; 9:55)

Re: Oh please, Adele? (58,968) (58,973) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha there was a lot of news about how Adele's success caused Rihanna to crawl back into a hole because she was scared (and rightfully so) that Adele will overshadow her. But apparently Rihanna has announced a tour in February I guess and she has been teasing fans with snippets of songs through her site in collaboration with Samsung. So she might release it. But oh well, as long as she doesn't collect any number #1's along the way, I'm good lol. (Friday 8 January 2016; 9:52)

Re: As a Latin fan (58,964) (58,972) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Giovanni, probably a very big reason Mariah never had a full Spanish album may be due to the fact that Mariah has always insisted that she will not sing anything that is not written by her. She does not speak Spanish and hence would not be able to write full songs in Spanish. Secondly I think I read somewhere that one of her Spanish versions, I think "Mi Todo" (not sure) had wrong translations and she was very upset with it and that's why she stopped doing Spanish versions of her songs completely up until "Hermosa" a good 16 years later. Even then she probably did "Hermosa" because Miguel was involved and he helped her. I can't be sure but I think she just doesn't want to fully commit to a project she has limited control over and would not want to disappoint herself and her Latin fans. Hope that helps, but again, it's only what I think might have happened. Not sure. (Friday 8 January 2016; 9:49)

Re: Don't forget about us (58,963) (58,971) by TJ from Norway This is a proof that a song can touch some people, but not everyone. I never understood how this song could reach the top of Billboard. (Friday 8 January 2016; 7:31)

Re: Oh please, Adele? (58,965) (58,970) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines I happen to like Out Of The Woods. It has this sense of urgency. I get the sense that if it succeeds, Tay's so gonna milk the 1989 high by releasing a seventh single. I hope she releases Clean or You Are In Love. Say what you want about TS, but the girl definitely has a way with choruses. Which is why I love Blank Space and Style. Especially Style. Definitely the best song in 1989. That should've gone to #1 and not Bad Blood. I understand hype and how it works, but that song just reeked of desperation. (Friday 8 January 2016; 3:09)

New music (58,969) by David F from Mexico I just wish she releases something like now. I think we need to hear new melodies, sounds, whatever. (Friday 8 January 2016; 3:07)

Re: Oh please, Adele? (58,944) (58,968) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines While it's true that Rihanna is the current artist who has the most potential to break Mariah's record (she has 13 #1s and she's only 27), I wouldn't count on her releasing an album within this year. It would be wise of her not to, especially not with Hurricane Adele in full force. Judging by the under-performance of the singles that she released last year, I think she'll be going back to the drawing board as something obviously wasn't clicking. Adele's comeback put the fear of God in a lot of artists - One Direction, Justin Bieber, Sam Smith, Ariana Grande. Rihanna definitely followed suit. I believe she released the cover art for ANTI days before Adele dropped Hello. That was a total momentum killer. If I were her, I'd start from scratch. At her age and with her popularity, she's already experienced such slump. It's hardly a MIAMTEC moment, but it seems to be shaping up like one, and at least Mariah had hers at 44 in an ageist industry. (Friday 8 January 2016; 2:50)

Re: As a Latin fan (58,962) (58,967) by Manny from U.S. I've also wondered that. Do you recall when she says that she was not happy with certain translations of her songs. Hero in Spanish sounds a little weird as far as the translation. (Friday 8 January 2016; 2:34)

Re: Don't forget about us (58,963) (58,966) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter That song is awesome. The video is so simple yet so beautiful. There are quite a lot of MC songs that can be released now and still sound fresh. Shows what a great writer she is. (Friday 8 January 2016; 1:27)

Re: Oh please, Adele? (58,954) (58,965) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter "Bad Blood", "Out Of The Woods", "Shake It Off" are the songs I find lame. I enjoy "wildest Dreams", "Style" and "Blank Space". (Friday 8 January 2016; 1:10)
