BET honors LA and Patti (60,212) by Lee TS from USA Hmmm, why was Mariah a no show? Just browsing and saw some pictures of Toni Braxton singing a tribute to LA. Ms. Braxton looked stunning by the way. I guess Mariah's not available or she hates your guts LA lol jk. Interesting. Or at least present the award to her godmother. I guess she couldn't be bothered. Oh, Lee Daniels is being honored too. Ok, that's definitely weird that Mariah is not in attendance. (Sunday 6 March 2016; 4:17)

Uturn (60,211) by George Golden from UK If only Mariah could make a song like ''Kiss me" by Olly Murs how won't she get a number one with a killer video? Seriously it's the material that has been weak. Her reluctance to change her style of music has locked her in a box. She needs to up her game, I believe she can still get more hits if she is serious. More sexy and classy videos, I said the word ''classy'' not "trashy''. She missed the chance with Infinity. What a let down to see that song on the same cd as her number ones. How bad was that song? And the video? She needs to decide if she wants to continue on that downward spiral or make a turn. We are not saying release a ballad we mean we need a serious hit that will hit hard that even if you don't like Mariah you will be grooving to the beat. Oh how I wish I could be her manager lol. She seriously need to step away from that kind of music that has infected her productivity like a virus. All that trying to be hood has past its sell by date. Just saying.

Re: Alleged track list from Beyoncé’s new album (60,210) by Lee TS from USA Adele on a song called Lemonade Taste? What does that even mean? It'll probably be more believable if 14 #1's was on that song with her, twerking it down. (Saturday 5 March 2016; 22:14)

Re: Alleged track list from Beyoncé's new album (60,206) (60,209) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I saw it circulating and I thought it was a hot mess. Even though the Mariah duet sounds like a women power anthem, which I have been dreaming of. But what are the odds that she will get both Mariah and Adele on the same album? If it's true, I am all up for it. (Saturday 5 March 2016; 21:27)

Re: Article: Mariah: "Elton John's commitment to charity is amazing" (60,189) (60,208) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter You can't help someone who doesn't want to be helped. I have someone really close to my heart that is self destructing and no matter how much I try to help, they go back to their self destructing ways. Mariah tried to help Alison many times and every time Alison went back to her self destructing ways. Alison is an adult, Mariah can't force her to do anything. But she tried to help only to have her go back to doing exactly what she needs to avoid. Mariah is a mother now, so she also has to take into consideration how Alison's behavior will affect her children. Mariah couldn't help Alison despite trying many times, but she did the next best thing. She helped Alison's son. She is still in good terms with him because she was seen with him after her divorce went public and then he came to defend her when Morgan started throwing stones at Mariah. So don't just call someone heartless without knowing about them. We don't know the extent to which Mariah helped her family and others close to her. Have you considered that she might have gone to support Elton's AIDs foundation because it is a cause that is close to her heart and home because of Alison? Also why so salty about her ring? It was a gift, she didn't choose to take the 10 million away from Alison and get herself a massive ring, someone gave it to her and I am sure he knows more about her heart than you and I would ever know.

One More Try (60,207) by Ben from Sweden Found this on YouTube, a smash between the voice of Mariah and George Michael - One More Try. (Saturday 5 March 2016; 20:08)

Alleged track list from Beyoncé’s new album (60,206) by 123 from USA So many topics to reply to but I haven't seen this at all yet. This is the supposed track list of Beyonce's Formation album and Mariah is listed on a track called "Women of the World". The release date is April 1st so I'm skeptical of its authenticity. (Saturday 5 March 2016; 19:09)

Positive and successful vibe for the coming era (60,205) by Malcolm from Asia I am looking forward to the time that these archive will be full of positive stories and comments; on how the new album affect and inspire us, how successful the album was, love how the singles are reaching the top 10, how great the music videos are and proud that it is not the typical Mariah Carey that we see and how we will be having a whole new level of appreciation for MC and how proud that we are united as lambily. I am crossing my fingers that all of these will happen. (Saturday 5 March 2016; 16:30)

Objectivity (60,204) by Manny from U.S. I haven't visited this site in months. I still have the same stance. I will recommend for certain people to look up what being objective means. Edward, thank you for always having a good insight on anything related to Mariah. I enjoy your posts. On the other hand, there are immature comments from people who dont have any objectivity on Mariah's career or personal choices. I have a question. Has anyone gotten the Vegas package to meet her? I'm trying to figure of its worth it. Is it only a meet and greet? Does she sign your mementos? (Saturday 5 March 2016; 13:56)

Re: I only wanted (60,198) (60,202) by B from USA Tommy. (Saturday 5 March 2016; 12:49)

Re: Honi soit qui mal y pense? (60,194) (60,201) by MC1989 from Spain Couldn't agree more. Some people love judging other's lives. (Saturday 5 March 2016; 11:57)

The Butterfly Room found (60,200) by Ben from Sweden Hey again. I found the address to "The Butterfly Room". It's not possible to navigate the site though, since it is shutdown and requires login for that. Only me who wanna see a revival of the forum? (Saturday 5 March 2016; 11:29)

Re: I only wanted (60,198) by Dennis from Miami, FL IOW is in my "Under the weather"playlist. It's definitely in my top 10 MC songs. I always wonder who the protagonist of the lyrics is. Is it Tommy, or Luis, or both of them? (Saturday 5 March 2016; 11:14)

Amsterdam, radio (60,197) by Ben from Sweden I was in Amsterdam for some time a couple of years ago, and I can tell you that they love Mariah there. Heard her constantly on the radio, even "Vision of Love" was played. (Saturday 5 March 2016; 11:00)

The Butterfly Room (60,196) by Ben from Sweden Does anyone know the web address that the forum "The Butterfly Room" had? It was something like "http://nextry..." I think. I want to check if it is archived on the internet archive/wayback machine. Wanna read some fun stuff. Please if you know the address let me know. Regards. (Saturday 5 March 2016; 10:54)

Re: JLo and Mariah "Epic" showdown (60,166) (60,195) by Licia from USA I'm still trying to catch up. Mimi L and Lee TS hit on some great points. I'll never take away the fact that Stella has helped Mariah bring in some extra money and endorsements (I'm super excited about the Essence Festival), I have yet to see what she has helped Mariah do as far as new music. Infinity doesn't count. In my mind it never happened. Lol. (Saturday 5 March 2016; 5:54)

Honi soit qui mal y pense? (60,194) by Andrew from UK Somebody's knowledge here of the difference between HIV and AIDS-related illnesses is wanton. I have no respect for ignorance. I take full advantage of free speech and, mostly begrudgingly, accept other points of view, whilst not respecting them. And, sometimes, I am fiercely critical and push people to their limit, also. But then there is actual vulgarity. Whilst not presuming myself the arbiter of righteousness (and sounding terribly British) the recent post about Mariah's "heartlessness" etc. is so ill-informed and without foundation I am embarrassed for the poster. I am sure there are some who would criticise me in the same manner so. But to my threshold: ill-informed and vulgar. "What a prick" came to mind. (Saturday 5 March 2016; 5:09)

Re: I Only Wanted (60,191) (60,193) by Licia from USA CB is my favorite album. It didn't have the Daydream vocals, but the words on the majority of the songs are awesome. CB spoke to me in a way that no other album has. I Only Wanted is a hidden gem that only few appreciate. (Saturday 5 March 2016; 3:05)

Re: All isn't gold that glitters (60,180) (60,192) by Licia from USA I haven't posted here in a while. I come back to Edward dropping knowledge. I could not agree more with everything you've said. (Saturday 5 March 2016; 1:54)

I Only Wanted (60,191) by Edward from USA I just finished listening to "Charmbracelet" and I got a little happy and sad at the same time. I'd give my all for Mariah to write lyrics as profound as the ones below: "I was caught in your masquerade Wish I'd stayed beneath my veil But it just seemed so easy to Open up myself to you Once more into the wind The embers scatter And the chill settles in" I miss you Mariah. I hope your muse is riding on steroids for your next album. (Saturday 5 March 2016; 0:42)

Re: Article: Mariah: "Elton John's commitment to charity is amazing" (60,189) (60,190) by Giovanni from USA Looks like someone is looking for attention. (Saturday 5 March 2016; 0:30)

Article: Mariah: "Elton John's commitment to charity is amazing" (60,189) by THE TRUTH from USA Sorry but I have difficulty understanding, whatever their past differences and difficulties how while sporting that 35 carat ring at an AIDS benefit Mariah has refused to help her dying sister Alison who is also stricken with AIDS and has been struggling on death's door without assistance from her sister or mother ever since her brutal attack in her home last year which left her comotose, paralyzed and homeless. "Charity begins at home" and while there are a lot of carats on Mariah's finger there is clearly no compassion in her heart. I wonder if her current fiance knows the depth and breadth of her heartlessness. (Saturday 5 March 2016; 0:15)

Iconic singer/songwriter Gavin Christopher dies (60,188) by THE TRUTH from USA Singer Songwriter Gavin Christopher who was introduced to Mariah by her Brother Morgan while she was still in High School with whom she recorded, the unreleased, "I Just Can't Hold It Back". Died yesterday after a prolonged battle with congestive heart failure. Towards the end Gavin who wrote several iconic hits for Chaka Khan as well as having a big 80s classic, "One Step Closer To You" was also known for his tireless work for children's charities, particularly "Camp Planet Hope, "Sharon and Kelly Stone's Foundation", struggled to pay his overwhelming medical bills and was snubbed by you know who. Gavin will be missed and is survived by his daughter Chloe Jackson. (Friday 4 March 2016; 23:59)

Re: I want books by Mariah (60,183) (60,187) by Musti from UK Why would it be shitty? Mariah has a whole lot more to say about the industry than pretty much anyone who has ever written a tell-all. It would not just be about her feuds or rivalries, nor would it just be about her career. Think outside the box. She said it herself that a lot of things happened to her when she was 12 (which is why she is eternally 12) and that she might write about it one day. Plus everytime she is asked a "sensitive" question in an interview, you can tell she wants to speak her mind but instead holds back (most recently, sexism in the music industry). Her real life (particularly her youth) and what has really been going on behind the scenes all these years is miles from what is written on her Wikipedia page. I want to know more. What we all do most of the time is merely speculate as she is very private and hardly reveals anything. So yes, I would like to have a comprehensive collection of her most important moments, coming from the woman herself. (Friday 4 March 2016; 22:36)

Re: All isn't gold that glitters (60,180) (60,186) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Thank you, Edward. You've touched on so many things, but namely reading too much into everything is key. And I don't mean to tell people how to think or what to post. I appreciate diversity, truly If my comments are annoying to some, so be it. Scroll right on down. It's just that conspiracy theories, drama and feuds seem to be the go-to response to things and it seems objectivity becomes lost. On to the music being the focus. (Friday 4 March 2016; 21:59)
