Re: Style mag (60,627) (60,630) by Terna from Nigeria Mimi L you travelled back in time to 1999 and stole those photos from her Rainbow album shoot. OK where's that time machine? Lol. Mariah is beautiful and ageless, thanks for [...] links. (Sunday 20 March 2016; 0:31)

New album reply (60,628) by Randy from USA I don't think I'm stuck in the 90s Giovanni. Adele's album is the fastest selling album in history and for the most part it's raw introspective ballads. I'm not saying MC should do this to sell records or follow a trend, it's just that MC writes and sings raw introspective ballads better than anyone so why not tune everything else down and do an album of Right To Dreams and Help Me Make It Through The Nights? And by the way those were recorded in 2008. And if Hello can be number one for 10 weeks then MC can get a #1 on a ballad. I wish MC could learn to play the guitar or piano. How many of you would drool with her on stage playing and singing by herself? And Nikki while I do believe MC is a better singer, songwriter than Carly Simon and Joni Mitchell, she does not get the respect from the industry they get. And #1s and album sales has nothing to do with it. It has to do with the industry thinking of her as a singing over the top diva and not a creative genius introspective songbird who can pen lyrics about things other than love. I want her to write and sing by herself because I am tired of other men and women basking in her sunlight. Tommy M, Jermaine Dupri, LA Reid, DJ Clue, Puff, Babyface, Walter A, Diane Warren, Ben M, Damizza. I truly believe she needs no one to compose an album and I live for the day I see: Written, Arranged and Produced by MC. Executive Producer MC. I totally know she could do it.

Style mag (60,627) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Doing what I do best. New picture alert. This other one is so gorgeous and glamorous. I love it. Last but not the least we have this. Great shoot. She is starting to look very 1999-Riah nowadays. Beautiful woman. (Sunday 20 March 2016; 0:04)

Re: Mimi L (60,617) (60,626) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada I think people are just focused on the fashion and makeup due to the route the discussion seemed to go. Not that you *only* discuss those topics. There are lots of other contributions on Mariah and music. (Saturday 19 March 2016; 23:31)

Re: New album (60,613) (60,625) by Lara from Middle East New name should be Fire. She's on Fi-ah since she's been with pacifi-ah. (Saturday 19 March 2016; 23:03)

Re: Article: 10 reasons to love Mariah Carey (60,587) (60,624) by Lara from Middle East Just one inquiry. Is that video before 1990? Because they mentioned it was before her fame. I thought it was around 91-92. (Saturday 19 March 2016; 22:59)

Re: Mimi L (60,617) (60,623) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Thank you Deedre. I appreciate the love, and I do honestly enjoy reading what you bring to the board too. I am a little surprised everyone thinks I am only about the fashion and hair because I do have many posts that talk about her music, her songwriting and the likes. The only reason I post so many photos are because I am proud of her and like to show her off. There are only so many times we can have "top 10" lists, and it gets boring when there is no new music around but oh well. It is what it is. Sorry for the random rant, I appreciate your post and I agree there is space for all topics on this board. I just wish people stop attacking each other by calling people "twats" and "b**ches* and "stupid" every time they don't agree with someone. Anyways thank you Deedre, you have always been super nice. (Saturday 19 March 2016; 22:55)

Re: The 90s (60,616) (60,622) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Andrew, it's also pretty boring that you keep popping up every now and then spreading negativity on this board. Then you proceed to hate on Mariah while swearing up and down that you do love her and then announce that you are leaving but you "keep coming back incessantly oh why?". You seem to have mistook this board (which is supposed to be a MC discussion board, whether it's about MC's voice, her dress or her Hello Kitty) for the House of Lords. Not everything here has to be serious. As for the people you said are an embarrassment for their parents, sweet to see you so concerned, I am sure yours are super proud of you. Nice hair dahlin'. I love the Tin Tin inspiration, a little outdated though, just like your opinions about Mariah, her music, the fan girls and the out and proud individuals. But hey we love everybody. (Oops there I go again, slay Andrew, slay.) (Saturday 19 March 2016; 22:48)

That voice (60,621) by Billy from Greece Apart from discussing how gorgeous she's looking and how beautiful Mariah's sounding currently, I just marvel at the little hints she gives in her live performances of the real "knowledge" that lurks behind those vocal chords. Let me try to make it more clear: Mariah is a master of technique and obviously knows too very well how she wants to sing her hits to please both the fans, as well as have fun for herself when she sings a specific song for the nth time. However, it is at moments like the intro of "Emotions" and this particular note at the end of "My All" that just has me begging for more of that. It's not just the stupendous full-sounding resonant belting she is capable of. It is the incredible drama, the weight, and the unrealized potential that her voice carries, that one is left wanting for more of "out of the box" notes and performances. This clip I've posted just takes an already huge song and performance into a whole new level. Instances such as this make me wonder how much Mariah is holding back - since she is (still) an artist performing within the medium of "popular" music - and how much knowledge she has acquired over the years, which luckily is exhibited gradually more through variedvocal approaches.

Album title suggestion (60,620) by Ardis Logic from Earth Stellar. (Saturday 19 March 2016; 20:15)

Unplugged (60,619) by Nicole from US Hi Randy, I doubt she would be doing Unplugged with songs that were not commercially promoted. If she would be doing an unplugged album she needs those nodules removed (kidding). But I agree with just singing her heart out and letting go of the diva image, even if its just temporary. But I believe she is way better than Carly Simon and Joni Mitchell. They do not have 18 number 1s and loved all over the world like Mariah. (Saturday 19 March 2016; 20:13)

Butterfly Beyond? (60,618) by Andrew from UK I kinda changed my mind about "Songbird Supreme" as it may make Mariah sound like she's trying to say she's better than Eva Cassidy. It would be a good tour or greatest hits title. It occurred to me that it might be a cool idea, twenty years after it was released, to do a Butterfly sequel to signify that the journey started in '97 has come to some sort of resolution. "Butterfly Relanded" maybe. "The Return of the Butterfly". "Butterfly Beyond". No more ridiculous album titles that most straight men wouldn't be see dead owning. (Saturday 19 March 2016; 20:09)

Mimi L (60,617) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Post whatever you want, love. Why not be done with labels of whose "mature" and whose not, whose a "real fan" and who isn't? So tiresome don't you think? I'm not really fashion centered much, but I can feel the joy when you talk about the ensembles and makeup, so why the heck not? Maybe not everyone is as into that, which is OK too, but hey, there's room for all kinds of topics. (Saturday 19 March 2016; 19:47)

Re: The 90s (60,575) (60,616) by Andrew from UK Ian lol. Bloody hell mate, bitch fest or what. All those buzzwords/phrases are fine - if you're a teenage fangirl. If you're an adult and use them, you sound like a twat. Every time. Without fail. And are probably an embarrassment to your parents. Anyway, I think talking about what Mariah wears etc is perfectly fine if it's interesting/enlightening and tempered between posts about her music or performances or things relevant to her career etc. I think you're venting because this board often descends into a few fangirls posting nonsense like "slay, my queen" over and over which is, without a doubt, [censored] boring for almost everybody else. Almost as boring as a certain poster trying to let everybody know that he's out, proud and very, very loud with every poorly written, convoluted, grammatically incorrect, boring post. Just saying. I liked your post, though. It raised a smile. (Saturday 19 March 2016; 19:43)

Re: New album (60,613) (60,615) by Giovanni from USA Mariah and some of us are looking forward for that next number one Randy. Seems like sometimes you're stuck in the 90's. No shade. (Saturday 19 March 2016; 18:18)

B / Mimi L. (60,614) by Giovanni from USA I love you and please don't get offended, but I do not like "M3", Mariah" or "M" at all. As none of them stand out. And I disagree that her next title doesn't necessarily have to have her name. The title needs to be strong, fierce and something that says "I may be older but I'm still the best in the game". "Nobody can write a song like me, nobody can sing like me, nobody will ever be as good as me." "Triumph" is perfect but I feel some wouldn't like it. I personally would go with "Triumph" or "Songbird Supreme". Mariah should have named an album that title years ago. Instead of the awful "Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel". Which is probably her worst album title, in my opinion. She should have maybe gone with "Memoirs" or "Imperfect". Whatever the next album will sound like, I'm going to buy at least 2 or 3 copies. We as fans need to support her even more now. So let's help her in sales. I'm hoping it will sell at least 3 or 4 million. Depending on the quality of the singles. I am shocked that Adele's "25" sold around 7 million copies. That's such a huge accomplishment. I'm glad in a way a singer and artist of her caliber is having success and breaking records simply by her talent. Unlike Rihanna and Beyonce, who are nowhere near in sales or talent. (Saturday 19 March 2016; 17:56)

New album (60,613) by Randy from USA And I think her new album should be unplugged. She should do songs like Right To Dream, Help Me Make It Through The Night, Looking In, Cry, Camouflage, Languishing, Rainbow (Interlude). Something very Adele-like in musicality but we all know who the better writer is. I also want the vocals paired down to things she can sing live without voiceovers or a wall of background singers. Throw away the entire image, pop music, r&b and hip hop and be the singer songwriter she wants so desperately to be known for. She is right up there to me with a Carly Simon, Joni Mitchell etc but because of all of the "noise" she's not respected. (Saturday 19 March 2016; 17:38)

2 Amsterdam tickets for sale (60,612) by IreneBMusic from Spain Hello guys, I've been a Mariah fan for years. I am going to be attending the Amsterdam show, however, I have 2 extra category 2 tickets for this show (April 23th). These are from a sould out category and I need to sell them. I would send them to you right away since they are electronic tickets (as soon as I receive payment through Paypal). Please, let me know if you're interested. You can contact me through Facebook (Irene Bauza) or twitter (irenebmusic). Thank you so much. (Saturday 19 March 2016; 17:34)

Re: List (60,606) (60,611) by B from USA I think the title of the new album should be her first name. I think it should be an updated Butterfly. She went through another divorce this time with children involved and has found love again. Romantic songs like Honey and Babydoll with The Weekend like beats. Big ballads like Outside, Looking In, Butterfly and Breakdown and The Roof. Elegant sultry mature and heartfelt. Mariah needs to bare her soul on record and work with the best producers and writers in the business instead working with JD and Big Jim. We want smart well written lyrics that are poetry that we can sing along to badly. My Truth is an alternative title I'm liking. She's on fire and she needs to pounce. She also needs another Underneath The Stars or Fourth Of July. Mariah, stay away from collaborators when writing lyrics, your pen game is strong and you can do this. (Saturday 19 March 2016; 17:07)

Re: Magazine photo (60,589) (60,610) by JAXGH from United States Yeah it looks like she had a none surgical nose job. They inject something in your nose to trim it down a little bit and makes it look more defined. It's a smart thing she didn't change the shape of it. (Like Michael, he added a ridge which looks noticeably unnatural.) One thing I learned is that you should never add, but only trim. Hers is kind of like getting braces (more on perfecting the structure) rather than getting fake teeth (adding new tissues in the nose). Anyway it actually looks good and the change is very small and subtle. She also has a talented make up artist. But to be honest, she's always had a really beautiful nose. (Saturday 19 March 2016; 16:35)

Brown gown (60,609) by Giovanni from USA I love it. Mariah is working it. Can she please keep these gorgeous ensembles coming. This is how she should always look. Fierce and glamorous. (Saturday 19 March 2016; 16:19)

Album title suggestions (60,608) by Giovanni from USA 1. "Songbird Supreme" 2. "Empress Supreme" 3. "Songstress Supreme" 4. "Triumph" (definitely fierce and a great title) 5. "Lifted" (Saturday 19 March 2016; 16:16)

Sweet Sweet Fantasy (60,607) by Bill from the UK It's great reading all the positive reviews going by in the press. If the only thing they have to complain about is her time keeping then so be it. She was late for her predicted start time on the Daydream tour. She was probably late out of the womb knowing her. It's not that big a deal. (Saturday 19 March 2016; 15:22)

List (60,606) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter We should keep an updated list of all the album names we are suggesting on this board so that when the time comes MC/Stella can choose one from here. I am adding "Fire" to the list. So far we have: 1) Songbird Supreme 2) Songbird 3) Sunlight 4) M3, Mariah, M 5) Starstruck (although I wanna ask George, would Mariah really get Starstruck seeing anyone?) 6) Fire (Saturday 19 March 2016; 14:55)

Re: Mimi L. / bodysuits (60,604) (60,605) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha dahlin' you just made my day. You know I'd say yes in a heartbeat. I'd be singing "Honey you can have me when you want me, if you simply ask me to be there". Love you. (Saturday 19 March 2016; 14:49)
