Re: What's wrong with today's pop stars? (59,758) (59,761) by darrian liu from taiwan With all due respect, I think MIAM is one of Mariah's finest works and it was written just 2-3 years ago. (Saturday 13 February 2016; 16:30)

Re: What's wrong with today's pop stars? (59,758) (59,760) by Travon..SweetSweetFantasy from USA She is not lying though. We take for granted that Mariah's been in the industry for over 25 years since 1988 constantly working and having success. Mariah set the bar too damn high, even for today's generation. It was a different time and a different place. Mariah doesn't have the luxury like Madonna did in her mid 40s to reinvent herself for success because it's a different music landscape. Also, Mariah's last hit came in 2013 with Beautiful. It went platinum that year and it made Billboard Hot 100 at #15. That's 3 years not 10 years. (Saturday 13 February 2016; 15:26)

Re: What's wrong with today's pop stars? (59,758) (59,759) by Billy from Greece You support that Mariah "hasn't written a decent song in over 10 years". Seriously? I mean, seriously seriously? What are you even doing here? But wait a minute, your favorite album is "Music Box". (Saturday 13 February 2016; 12:49)

What's wrong with today's pop stars? (59,758) by Lee from UK I find this a bit rich coming from Mariah as she hasn't written a decent song in over 10 years. Additionally, she has tried and failed to emulate what the young stars are doing both musically (and in terms of her online presence) and this has done her no favours. I love Mariah's (older) music and I always will. I'm going to see her twice in 3 days when she tours the UK and I'm glad it's a bunch of her older stuff as her more modern music has been pretty pants. If I want modern pop diva, I'll listen to Beyoncé, Ariana or Adele. I'd rather Mariah to sing like Mariah. (Saturday 13 February 2016; 10:31)

Re: Beyonce and Mariah (59,751) (59,757) by Lee TS from USA I wonder what divas talk about. Maybe M invited B to her wedding. Beautiful ladies. (Saturday 13 February 2016; 6:01)

Queen Mariah Carey and Beyonce (59,756) by safe from jamaica It's so great to see these two beautiful and talented women taking some pics together. Mariah is really on "faya" looking 20 years younger. Even though she inspired Bey into singing, she doesn't age at all. I really love them both and can't wait to have them give us that landmark duet we've all been craving for. (Saturday 13 February 2016; 0:10)

Victor Peralta (59,755) by Butterfly from I think it's JLo. Her album title AKA is similar to Me I Am Mariah The Elusive Chanteuse. Both albums featured Nas. (Friday 12 February 2016; 23:31)

Re: Beyonce and Mariah (59,751) (59,754) by Tevin from USA Yea I was hoping they were still friends. (Friday 12 February 2016; 18:21)

Re: Beyonce and Mariah (59,751) (59,753) by Victor from Costa Rica See? Beyonce is not the artist who stole Mariah's idea and album concept. I still believe it could be Taylor, especially for Taylor's reaction during Mariah's performance at the Billboard Awards last year (it was kind of shady). Mariah and Beyonce are still friends and this picture proves it. (Friday 12 February 2016; 18:05)

Re: Beyonce and Mariah (59,751) (59,752) by TJ from Norway Has Mariah dropped the high heals? She used to be taller than Beyoncé (Friday 12 February 2016; 17:33)

Beyonce and Mariah (59,751) by Malcolm from Asia This picture just made my day, my favorite divas in one photo. I can't even express how happy I am to see these 2 beautiful ladies. And Mariah now has a proper photo with Bey to post when it's her birthday so it can never be suspected as shade. (Friday 12 February 2016; 16:16)

Re: Mariah Carey - My All Caesars Palace 02.02.16 (59,749) (59,750) by Bill from the UK The thing is as well, the trolls compare a current performance recorded on a phone, of all things, against professional televised soundboard/dubbed performances from 20 years ago. Do like for like and listen to an undubbed Music Box concert recorded on a handheld tape recorder and there's really not much difference considering the twenty year gap. (Strokes pet unicorn lovingly.) (Friday 12 February 2016; 12:16)

Re: Mariah Carey - My All Caesars Palace 02.02.16 (59,740) (59,749) by 123 from USA Thanks MiTodoChop. I loved the improvisations as well and wished she did more of it. I think if she continues to care for her voice and stays in good voice we may see her become more daring vocally and go for different notes. I"m not surprised she doesn't nor am I surprised that the trolls who would use it to pick her and the performance apart. It's sad really that it's become acceptable to tolerate it. I don't care what anyone says, she looked great and sounded great in this performance. I give credit to hard work when it's due. (Friday 12 February 2016; 1:53)

Re: Mariah and rappers (59,738) (59,745) (59,748) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Next will be Tupac's hologram talking about how he got it on with Mariah's hologram. (Remember the Mariah holographic concerts? In case you forgot, this is what I meant.) (Friday 12 February 2016; 1:31)

Re: Whitney Houston (59,746) (59,747) by Travon..SweetSweetFantasy from USA Thanks. I was looking forward to lamb day and my birthday that day in 2012. Then I get a call from my grandma about Whitney Houston in the evening. It was sad and shockingly we immediately were all hoping it wasn't drugs that killed her. It's sad when you hope one of your favorite artists dies of a homicide and not a drug overdose. Her dying of an overdose made it difficult to accept her death for me. Listening to her music during that time helped deal with it but it still feels weird today. Honestly, it feels like an asterisk or void is left now because of it occurring on my birthday. Oh my dropped skittles, Whitney Houston 4 years and Michael Jackson almost 7 years. Time goes by quick. (Friday 12 February 2016; 1:08)

Re: Whitney Houston (59,741) (59,746) by 123 from USA Happy BDay. I love Whitney. I was on a Whitney music binge the day she died and as IWALY was playing, something told me to turn on the TV. The rest sadly is history. I remember Mariah wanting to make 2/11 lamb day that year. How ominous. (Friday 12 February 2016; 0:04)

Re: Mariah and rappers (59,738) (59,745) by Lee TS from USA Come on, Stevie J? I see it's making a lot of headlines at the moment. Who's next, Peter Gunz? Does Mariah need to get on Love and Hip Hop? Mess. (Thursday 11 February 2016; 23:18)

Re: Mariah Carey - My All Caesars Palace 02.02.16 (59,730) (59,744) by Andrew from UK It would be much better if she dropped the lip parts, which, ostensibly, she can do live given the other parts she sings, and, also, if she used vibrato. The long held notes without vibrato are nowhere near as pleasing on the ear. And the ball gowns? New stylist and interesting sets for the SSF tour is absolutely required. Pants at some point would be good. I see people talking of the set list. It's unlikely she will stray that much. It's about time she put on a new show. A jet ski in place of a chaise longue does not a set piece make. The duet with Whitney is a great idea but she'll never do it. Open Arms would be perfect and it sounds like she could sing it without sticking in a lip section. Vibrato needed tho or just seems like shouting again. Without You of course, but she'll never lower the key so she'll lip most of it. I think Hero should be the Never Too Far mix that she promoted heavily here in 2002. So much she could do. I think Mariah still doesn't quite get the age we live in. Her shows are rehashed staging. Fans wants to be surprised. Perhaps she should even choose a non-catalogue song and sing it. An MJ number. Do a Celine, put on some pants and work the stage. Something new. If it's just an empty stage with the usual back-up and dancers, with the same songs in a slightly different order, it will be good. But it won't be great. (Thursday 11 February 2016; 23:11)

Re: Mariah and George M duet and '96-'97 in music (59,735) (59,743) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada I adore Mariah and am a big fan of George's catalog. What a voice. He and MC singing together would be a such a treat. I would absolutely love it. One can never rule it out completely, especially since she recorded OMT. Older is a fantastic album too, the photography of the video singles is beautiful. (Thursday 11 February 2016; 22:36)

Re: Mariah's personal friend Beyonce (59,731) (59,742) by Victor from Costa Rica Hello RJJ12. Thanks fo reply back. I'm starting to feel like I'm part of the family on this board. True about Beyonce, they seem so distant now. I think if Mariah would have added the demo recordings to the MIAM, it would have sold a lot more because we as fans miss the 90's Mariah. I'm not saying that 90's Mariah is better than current Mariah, it's just that we want her to give us a little bit of that again. The success, the voice, the looks. We require the epicness to come back (generally speaking of music and she represents all that). I would like to hear all the records she has hidden somewhere. Hey, and don't you think it's weird that a fan released the Carey/Bolton record of "We are not making love anymore"? How does he get it? I always found that strange as he was the first one on releasing that as a snipped to the world. Is someone from Sony leaking Mariah's material/ideas? Should we expect more sabotages? Does Tommy has something to do with all this? (Thursday 11 February 2016; 21:28)

Re: Whitney Houston (59,734) (59,741) by Travon..SweetSweetFantasy from USA My 24th birthday is today. I definitely know the feeling. RIP Whitney Houston. (Thursday 11 February 2016; 21:12)

Re: Mariah Carey - My All Caesars Palace 02.02.16 (59,730) (59,740) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada I think this is a really lovely performance. I'm surprised there aren't more comments about it. Thanks for positing the link. I love the way she improvised here. (Thursday 11 February 2016; 20:01)

Mariah and rappers (59,738) by Seth M from South Africa Another rapper is now added to the list of people claiming that they had sex with Mariah. I mean really Stevie J? This annoys me so much. First Eminem then Damizza and now Stevie J. If I can remember, a few years back another rapper made similar claims (I can't remember his name). These people get to a low point in their fading careers and try to make up stories about Mariah to get publicity. I am so glad that Mariah is not seen anymore hanging out with rappers and so called friends who only leeched from her. I'm sure she realized that if you hang out with pigs then you are sure to get mud on your face. I really hope that her next album will not incudes any rappers as Mariah is capable of making a hit all by herself. For the general public and non fans who I have spoken to, they say that the rappers on a Mariah song is a put off. (Thursday 11 February 2016; 19:47)

What type of fan, when watch MC live (59,737) by Gilles from Malta What type of fan are you, when you are watching Mariah performing live on TV or in concert? Regarding me, I am the quiet one lol. I can not sing along with her, because my ears are at 100% to enjoy the full show. At the Daydream concert I tried to sing along but she was making different things with her voice not like the CD and I was like s****t I haven't heard that. And now I am still the same singing sometime when I play the radio or MP3 player or LP turnatable but when she is performing live. I muet lol. Have a nice day everyone. I was just wondering who is different, who is like me lol. (Thursday 11 February 2016; 18:43)

Re: Mariah and George M duet and '96-'97 in music (59,736) by Ian from United Kingdom I always thought Mariah and George would be amazing together. 1990 was an amazing year. MC dropped her first album and Listen Without Prejudice came out which were my 2 favourite albums of that year, both still sound great 26 years later which can not be said for a lot of artists. I live in hope they will duet at some point in the future. (Thursday 11 February 2016; 17:47)
