Re: Butterfly album (60,307) (60,317) by enwar00 from usa Wow. That is so crazy. Honey may be my favorite MC song, at least out of the #1s. (Thursday 10 March 2016; 7:20)

Wendy Williams (60,316) by Travon..SweetSweetFantasy from USA Wendy Williams admitted she might have started the "I still don't know her" comment from Mariah on her show today. She played JLo's " Mariah's forgetful shade" and then played TMZ's "Mariah shade". She even gave a correct history as to why Mariah could have a grudge. I found Wendy Williams honesty for Mariah Carey today refreshing. She even complemented both of them and seemed apologetic. I love the respect she showed today for both ladies and didn't put them against each other. She said young kids can learn from JLo and Mariah's diva feud because it's classy and won't result in street fighting. She usually tells everything halfway with Mariah and she was completely honest today. I actually enjoyed her hot topics. I don't say that often with Wendy. Bravo. (Thursday 10 March 2016; 2:34)

Black dresses over and over (60,315) by Amber C from USA I need an artistic lamb to make a collage of Mariah's black dresses. lol. I'm tired of them lol. 75 percent of the clothes she's worn in the last 25 years have been black, and most commonly long black dresses or short black dresses. I wish she would wear more color and even more slacks, dress pants. But I guess the black dress is one of her iconic symbols. Butterfly ring: check. Brown eye-shadow: check. Beauty mark on the chin: check. Bronzed skin: check. Blonde waves or pin straight: check. What else am I missing? Lol. (Thursday 10 March 2016; 1:13)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey: I still don't know J Lo (60,313) (60,314) by Luke from United Kingdom Plus the Nas feature on her AKA album. Atleast Mariah isn't going on about it, she keeps her answers short and to the point. Basically she's telling J Lo to get off her back. (Thursday 10 March 2016; 1:06)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey: I still don't know J Lo (60,308) (60,313) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter M dahlin' you forgot the legendary copycat moment. Mariah: I will sample "Firecracker" for my lead single. JLo: I will sample "Firecracker" for my lead single. Mariah: I want Ja Rule on my hot record. JLo: I want Ja Rule on my hot record. By the way didn't JLo also sign on to Def Jam records? (Thursday 10 March 2016; 0:23)

Re: The future (60,297) (60,312) by Luke from United Kingdom One could say that about all types of people from various different countries/places/cultures. I sincerely hope you've been to Europe to make such a sweeping judgement. Otherwise why make such harsh comments? That doesn't make you any better. (Wednesday 9 March 2016; 22:12)

Re: The future (60,284) (60,311) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Not sure how posts here can be interpreted and generalized like everything MC does is perfect, because it seems by and large like people understand she's not perfect. Music is subjective. Hits and misses are part of anything. Ardis and Licia bring up good points about making the music she wants to make vs having strings of #1's. You can never please everyone, and we're all bound to go through cycles that maybe don't feel as inspired to the listener (Infinity for some for example). All MC can do is move forward making music that feels good. Whether people agree with the musical choices she makes, is a whole other topic. Lol. She loves R&B and rap/hip-hop, so I doubt those elements would ever vanish completely from her influences as a musician. (Wednesday 9 March 2016; 22:07)

Carey-O-Gay (60,310) by Skip from United States Hey lambs, I haven't posted in a long while, but I wanted to share a little promo for a web series I've got coming up because I made sure to throw a Mariah Carey reference in there. Check it out and hopefully it'll make you laugh. (Wednesday 9 March 2016; 21:39)

Re: The future (60,297) (60,309) by Sasha from Nomansland What you said about European is insulting. (Wednesday 9 March 2016; 20:56)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey: I still don't know J Lo (60,295) (60,308) by Malcolm from Asia As much as I adore JLo, I felt the pride as lamb when Mariah fights back with another classy shade. Like Mimi L., if possible I like for her to tone down the shades but that is just really great I can't haha. At least Mariah is consistent with her statement and if she will ask again about that I guess she might say that she doesn't really know her on a personal level at all so what else she can say about her. I got pissed when JLo says "she's forgetful" and "they've met many times" like girl, when? In your dreams? In 2012 or 2013 she guested in WWHL and says that "they've never met" and suddenly she is saying that they've met "many times", how interesting JLo? Girl, the only "Mariah" thing that you meet is her robbed songs, remember your #1 hit "I'm Real"? Just want to share this tweet from a hilarious lamb: "Mariah: I will go to Vegas. JLo: I will go to Vegas. Mariah: I am going to sign with Epic. JLo: I am going to sign with Epic." (Wednesday 9 March 2016; 18:15)

Butterfly album (60,307) by Ben from Sweden The Butterfly album must be the best thing that has ever happened to earth. Lol. Minus "Honey". (Wednesday 9 March 2016; 18:12)

Article: Las Vegas shows a complete disaster? (60,306) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Oh wow this article seems so legit, I can't even. Like the name of the source gives it enough credibility (spelling Stars with a "Z", because they are not mainstream like you "less-ers"). I didn't know that Celine has started twerking on stage in bedazzled bodysuits and feather boa now because how else has she been in the Vegas game for so many years, selling out shows like hot cakes with "just her voice". I mean it's not like people listen to singers for their voice or talent right? Also to hell with Caesar's Palace business, they will incur loss to keep Mariah's ego afloat right? Seriously though who writes these articles? There should be a limit to how much people can just make up articles to create drama. First of all if they want to compare Mariah's show to anyone, it should be Celine's. Secondly JLo just started her residency, of course her first few shows may do better because it's the newest act, and this is Mariah's third leg of the residency. (Wednesday 9 March 2016; 18:10)

Re: The future (60,300) (60,305) by MC1989 from Spain We shouldn't be disrespectful with each other. Freedom of speech and thoughts but with respect. Just saying. (Wednesday 9 March 2016; 16:01)

Re: Ian (60,304) by Ardis Logic from Earth I'm from the USA, and I think Donald Trump is a total a$$h@le. I also think politics is stupid. I wish there was another planet that I could fly away too. Sometimes the things that happen here on this planet make me ashamed to be an earthling. We are all just victims of our conditioning, but I agree, we need to at least try to get along. (Wednesday 9 March 2016; 15:31)

Andrew's post (60,303) by Musti from UK I think Andrew raises some very valid points. The black culture issue might be right to some extent. Sampling and featuring Cam'ron on Boy (I Need You) so soon after the original wasn't the smartest move but it did cement her deeper in the hip hop culture, which is what she wanted. It wasn't original at all but she really wanted that street credibility. That's when the nickname Hoodriah started circulating. Anyone remember the single cover and the Street Remix? I love the Street Remix by the way. I'd say since then she has simply been doing what she likes, no desperation whatsoever. She is far from her Charmbracelet days when she had just done Glitter and she needed shelter from a community that was willing to embrace her, more than the white crowd at the time. She has been doing R&B since day 1, it's nothing new (let's not forget Prisoner please). I think she feels more comfortable with rappers in general as they all worship her. It's not like collaborating with female singers where there will always be that temptation to oversing and outdo her. Which is also why I think a duet with Beyonce would work so well because, like Mariah, she knows how to respect those that have come before her. Heartbreaker Remix is my favourite Mariah uptempo and the song wouldn't be the same without Da Brat and Missy's parts. Rappers do not downgrade her music. It's the quality of the music she's been producing that's the problem. Of course it's beautiful music, but it's also repetitive. She can do so much better. And she must, if she wants to remain relevant. I'd still eat up whatever she does though. And for God's sake Andrew, clearly vocabulary is not your issue so please be more selective with your words. You can sound so annoying sometimes that it's hard to take you seriously even when you have something valid to say. (Wednesday 9 March 2016; 14:10)

Re: The future (60,302) by Ian from United Kingdom He lives in lalaland. I come from the UK too and am laughing so hard, you must be so proud coming from a country where people think Donald Trump would be a good choice as president. Seriously though, not all UK fans share Andrew's views, we are individuals as are MC fans all over the world. Let's not pitch countries against each other, can't we all just get along. Lol. (Wednesday 9 March 2016; 14:08)

Re: The future (60,283) (60,301) by George Golden from UK That doesn't mean she has to sing with every rapper alive and the ones yet to be given birth to. The rap collaboration is putting a lot of people off. She tries too hard. It has been become redundant and repetitive. Let's be honest with ourselves. She needs to stop repeating herself and get on with it. People far less talented than her are catching up and she is still coming up with songs like Infinity? (Wednesday 9 March 2016; 13:48)

Re: The future (60,297) (60,300) by B from USA Adele and Sam Smith are white artist singing and writing R&B music and [...] from the UK. Andrew's opinion is irrelevant. He lives in lalaland. (Wednesday 9 March 2016; 13:27)

Essence Festival (60,299) by Licia from USA I no longer see her listed as a performer on the website. I hope this is just an oversight. I was really looking forward to going. (Wednesday 9 March 2016; 12:02)

Parodies (60,298) by Lara from Middle East Every new hit is getting a parody, look at Adele's "Hello" how many parodies it got on YouTube. The lyrics need to be simple, the tune straightforward (less layering) at least at the beginning so people could copy it. Imagine Fantasy released now. I'd do a parody of it and switch the lyrics to "sleep sleep tiny baby, when [...] close [...] eyes [...] make me so happy" lol (it's the sleep deprived mom talking here). (Wednesday 9 March 2016; 11:49)

Re: The future (60,283) (60,297) by Travon..SweetSweetFantasy from USA Marissa, I agree. I noticed last year his change in tone when discussing the differences of opinion from the UK fans regarding stereotypes with race versus the people in the USA that actually deal with it. He stated my living demographic was "ghetto" and he really seems to lack the education needed to understand why R&B music is loved here. It's not the UK, so I am sure it's the typical European way of feeling "entitled and no other person's feelings or lives matter, just as long as I remain blunt and get my point across. It's about me and only me. My point is the only point that matters in the world." I admit not every UK or European fan acts like him but it is what it is. By the way, I live in a prestigious area at Purdue University and am approaching my last years of college. Even I can appreciate great music from Mariah of all her styles. There's no shame in my game honey. (Wednesday 9 March 2016; 11:04)

How's the tour selling (60,296) by thomas holt from Denmark I'm off to see her in Copenhagen the end of the month, and I'm beyond exited. This'll be my first Mariah show. Does anyone know how the tour in general is selling? (Wednesday 9 March 2016; 8:44)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey: I still don't know J Lo (60,268) (60,295) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha as much as I have been advocating Mariah toning down the shades, this shade in particular was so flawless, I just can't. I mean who would have thought she would come up with a flawless remix of the O.G. legendary shade a decade later and make it even better than the original. Mariah - queen of remixes. (Wednesday 9 March 2016; 7:19)

Re: Only one MC song (60,256) (60,294) by Merr Hasenan from Malaysia Mine is always every single day - Butterfly. My morning ride to school needs this. I'm a teacher by the way. (Wednesday 9 March 2016; 7:19)

Still don't know her (60,293) by 123 from USA So JLo says that they've met many times last week on Wendy, but in 2014 she said, "I don't have a feud against her at all," the single-again singer insisted. "I know from back in the day, I've read things that she's said about me that were not the greatest, but we have never met. Like, we don't know each other. I think it's kind of from word of mouth of things that have happened in the past that I'm not really aware of. But I don't know." So you've never met and you don't know each other to you've met many times in a span of one year? Look who seems to be forgetful now? (Wednesday 9 March 2016; 7:16)
