Tour (60,677) by Liz Archer from Sweden So upset and sad I can't go and see Mariah. I went to see her last time (and meet her) and it was a great experience. But this time I can't afford the travel or tickets, my current economical situation doesn't allow it. I hope she does this soon again when I am better prepared for it, although from that magazine article it seems she isn't planning a new tour anytime soon again. (Monday 21 March 2016; 2:13)

Re: The 90s (60,673) (60,676) by JAXGH from United States Lmao nice try. You just made yourself look more stupid. Nobody puts faith in the Grammy's. We all know it's bullcrap and extremely political. Mariah is definitely considered as a serious singer by both the music industry (AMA, Soultrain, WMA, Billboard) and the public. You're just bringing up bleak moments from her career. Mariah Carey sold records because of her talent. Regardless what the critics say (which by the way is irrelevant). She can freaking sing. She is and will always be considered as a serious singer. Point dot dot. Just check her catalog darling. Next time don't dig yourself a bigger hole. (Monday 21 March 2016; 0:13)

Batman-Riah (60,675) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Batman has got nothing on Mariah. Haha I don't know how I feel about the cape situation. She looks great here though. Very chic. I thought it was waist length and that would have been edgy but the shawl-cape hybrid is making me feel some kind of way. Not necessarily good lol. (Sunday 20 March 2016; 20:33)

Songbird, Triumph or Phoenix (60,674) by Giovanni from USA It's official, so pick one Mariah. (Sunday 20 March 2016; 20:20)

Re: The 90s (60,645) (60,673) by 123 from USA It's simple comprehension so I'm going to need you to re-read my post before you try to respond to me. Mariah herself has been quoted throughout her career that most people still don't know she writes her own material. And since you missed it, I was referring to the critics, and not my own opinion. Most people on this board got that. In regards to the public, they had a love/hate relationship with Mariah. All of the artists that would site her as an inspiration wouldn't come out until the end of the decade/turn of the century (with the exception of Beyonce who was with DC), not during the 90's. The only time there was real excitement from the general public and not the lambs about a Mariah project was the follow up to TEOM. Its first week sales prove that as Mariah has never been a big first week sales artist, all of her big albums sold over an extended period of time. Lets talk about the music industry next. Awards, really? Is that why she was robbed at the 96's Grammys when she was shut out of all six nominations? The record breaking, blaring from every radio, OSD, wasn't given record of the year or song of the year. No wonder she didn't return until 06 only to be used for promotion, awarded non televised Grammys, and was shut out again from Song of the year and Record of the year. When again, she had another record breaking song of the year. The reason for Mariah's success was the public recognition to her talent. Also, it was the voting public, not the industry that voted for Mariah to top MTV's Greatest Voice in Music. (Sunday 20 March 2016; 19:31)

Re: New album title (60,639) (60,672) by 123 from USA Great minds think alike. (Sunday 20 March 2016; 18:49)

Straight out of 99 (60,671) by Kate from UK Looking incredible. (Sunday 20 March 2016; 17:50)

Re: Best night of my life (60,654) (60,670) by Andrew from UK I hope so. I think Mariah is excited to see me. I have good seats so she'll have a good view. . Although I read Manchester had sound issues. I hope these are fixed before she gets to the O2. She'll be super pissed if she can't hear me singing. (Sunday 20 March 2016; 16:34)

Re: The 90s (60,645) (60,669) by Chicago Lamb from USA In the 90's and still today she is considered the "singer's singer". (Sunday 20 March 2016; 15:49)

Re: That voice (60,660) (60,668) by enwar00 from usa The videos absolutely don't do her justice. I'm so excited for you, especially if this is your first time. I saw her Christmas show in December and in Vegas last month, and as many have mentioned this week as well, she sounded fantastic. Whatever was going on a couple years ago seems to be a thing of the past. Looking forward to hearing your view and hear which songs move you the most. Interestingly for me Hero did, and We Belong Together was something else. I don't think she'll ever stop singing those two. (Sunday 20 March 2016; 15:43)

Re: Best night of my life (60,661) (60,667) by Martyn from England, UK Haha yes that was me, that's very observant. Were your seats near mine? (Sunday 20 March 2016; 15:30)

New shows in Europe (60,666) by Otti from Belgium Last night, I swaw a clip on YouTube of her show in Glasgow. She even sang "Loverboy". Love the big flags. I have to say the shows in Europe look much better than her number ones show in Vegas. (Sunday 20 March 2016; 15:23)

Re: The 90s (60,632) (60,665) by Otti from Belgium Explain to me what do they mean with "10 cent words"? I thought "Butterfly" has her best written songs, "The roof", "My all", "Honey", "Breakdown". (Sunday 20 March 2016; 15:20)

Style mag (60,664) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Hey everyone, this is the full article for Style Mag. Full pictures are also included in it. Enjoy. (Sunday 20 March 2016; 14:51)

M and Terna (60,663) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Thank you so much my lovelies. I am honored that you guys enjoy my posts and the feeling is completely mutual. I honestly can't thank people enough for supporting my views, especially after the nasty stunt pulled by some close minded individuals. You guys are awesome. So excited for the "slay-age" we are about to get from Mariah. It's a great time to be a MC fan, after all the bleak years we had these past few years. Hugs and kisses. (Sunday 20 March 2016; 14:48)

RJJ12 and Marissa (60,662) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter You guys have brought forward such excellent points and you just explained things way better than I ever could have. Those are exactly my views and the reason I post what I post, but I got so flustered and angry yesterday, I went on a train wreck rant. RJJ12's point about the importance of an artist's image and how the positive changes Mariah is bringing to her image is hinting towards or correlated to a new comeback is so true. Ever since Mariah is broken free from the "black gown and mic stand" look, she has been all about her image. Like it or not a person's image is as important as their talent nowadays because a lot of talented people are being overlooked since people don't find their image interesting enough. Marissa's point about people yearning for the fake Mariah (90-95) where she was basically Tommy's doll, is also on point. Why do people want Mariah to go back to something where she didn't feel like she was being genuine? There is a reason Mariah has a nick name of "Hood-Riah". She has been always into hip hop, she has always been into buzz words, heck I learned most of mine from her. All the talk about "why you frontin'" or "@-ing be constantly" or "stunting on instagram" these are all Mariah. So if that makes her a "twat" in your eyes, then so be it. The 90s Mariah won't come back, you might get the vocals, the songwriting, but as for her image, she will always be a girly girl and she will always be the one who changes from one outfit to another when she moves from one room to another like you saw on Cribs. And since that's what she is about, I don't think talking about her fashion is something that is off limits. Sorry for my random rant yesterday but I am done being attacked for stupid reasons after every few weeks. (Sunday 20 March 2016; 14:46)

Re: Best night of my life (60,654) (60,661) by Lee from UK Martyn, did you happen to be wearing a Daydream tour t-shirt at the Manchester concert? Where you with a group of boys, one of them wearing the Charmbracelet tour t-shirt? (Sunday 20 March 2016; 14:38)

Re: That voice (60,641) (60,660) by Billy from Greece Hey enwar. I will indeed travel to Amsterdam to catch the show there. Although I couldn't resist succumbing to "spoilers" (that is, watching clips from the UK shows), I'm still very excited about attending and I'm waiting to see what it feels like to hear a "My All" big note or an "Emotions" intro live. A comment on a YouTube video has stayed me with me: "The videos don't do her justice." So there, that has me "toss and turn in my bed". (Sunday 20 March 2016; 14:32)

Sweet Sweet Fantasy Tour (60,659) by Anthony Carey from U.K Wanted to ask if anybody has heard whether there will be a tour programme? I did ask at both Leeds and Manchester stalls however they both stated they are not certain and it's because it's too early into the tour. I am praying we do get a tour programme as I have every one so far, plus if not been to Europe since 2003 would be nice to have one "for the nostalgia" and my collection of new merchandise aka everything they sold lacks a programme to be complete.

Mariah - Leeds and Manchester show timings (60,658) by Anthony Carey from U.K Well there seems to be some unfortunate press regarding Mariah's "late" arrival to these shows even to the point where some reports are quoting her tweets etc prior to event arrival, this is clearly just being somewhat pathetic as I posted earlier the arena staff was informing concert attendee's that Mariah will arrive onstage at 8.45pm. First of all, I go to many concerts every year supporting artists and music and have never been to a concert that started before 9.00pm, secondly I was in the VIP seats for the shows and my ticket plus information was as follows (quoted by Ticketmaster uk) Doors 18.30 / Registration 18.30 - 21.00 / Support 20.00 and Mariah Carey 21.15. So a 15 minute wait, certainly not bad when I have waited longer for many other artists. However what certainly does annoy me is when other artists have been "late", where was the press then? Christmas shows Mariah was "on time", Las Vegas shows 10 minutes late. I look at it this way, if Mariah was an hour late she is certainly worth it considering she hasn't toured in the UK since 2003 so suck it up and just enjoy the fact we finally have Mariah back in our country.

Album 2016 (60,657) by Lainsky from Philippines If she will release a new album this year I just hope she brings back the sound of her 90's music. Pop leaning towards R&B. Either with a mid-tempo or heavy love song ballad (ala Lead The Way) as a carrier single. I miss those sounds of her. And Mariah can title her album with "Like Old Days" or any one-word title like she used to do. Lately I've been listening and liking a lot "To Be Around You", "Love Takes Time" and "Lead The Way" and I realized gosh I am missing her old music. If Adele can pull off a ballad piano-accompanied-only, why can't she? (Sunday 20 March 2016; 12:20)

Re: Mariah - Leeds show (60,567) (60,656) by Anthony Carey from U.K This is obviously where you are getting the "facts" mixed up/somewhat confused as if you read my previous article. Ticketmaster confirmed to myself and probably many others that the order of events are: Doors 18.30 / Registration 18.30 - 21.00 / Support 20.00 then Mariah Carey 21.15. Which means therefore Mariah arrived 15 minutes later than scheduled which to be fair isn't bad considering the current press of other touring artists. (Sunday 20 March 2016; 12:20)

Re: The 90s (60,575) (60,655) by Terna from Nigeria I guess you're just old. Mimi L you're my favorite on this board. Keep being yourself, you are exactly what Mariah Carey stands for a beautiful person genuinely, inside as well as out. (Sunday 20 March 2016; 11:41)

Best night of my life (60,654) by Martyn from England, UK I went to see Mariah at the Manchester Arena on Friday and I can honestly say it was one of the best nights of my life. I was so nervous about vocals/showmanship etc. but it was incredible from start to finish. I reckon even Andrew will only have good things to say. (Sunday 20 March 2016; 11:33)

Article: 10 reasons to love Mariah Carey (60,653) by Martyn from England, UK It was me that wrote the article Mara haha, and yes I am a lamb. Really bizarre seeing it on this site. As for the video L.H., I had always thought it was pre-fame but maybe I'm wrong? (Sunday 20 March 2016; 11:32)
