Question time (59,462) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So I wanted to know how many of you wanted Mariah's next single to be a big ballad and how many of you want a hot upbeat club banger as the next single. Personally I want a a club banger/upbeat song because she hasn't released one as a single in a while. I want something people can sing along to and just have a good time listening to it.

Re: Mariah and James (59,452) (59,461) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Aww thank you so much Mara. You are such a sweetheart. (Sunday 31 January 2016; 16:25)

Mariah Carey calls for more diversity (59,460) by Andrew from UK This article actually made me chuckle. Mariah? Diversity? I thought it must've been about an as yet unpublished love MC has for talented street dance group that won Britain's Got Talent. Alas, it was not. Can't quite recall the last time Mariah had a white back-up singer on stage. Or a white dancer. Or featured a white artist on her albums. And so on, and so on. Lovin' me some o' that diversity, yo. It's good to laugh, eh. (Sunday 31 January 2016; 16:21)

Re: Mimi L (59,455) (59,459) by Travon..SweetSweetFantasy from USA You're welcome. (Sunday 31 January 2016; 16:12)

Re: Stella (59,453) (59,458) by May from Denmark You know, I've been having a blast with the posts. I agree with what you said Mara, regarding Packer having patience but let's recall the man also invited his ex-wife who somehow remained "close friend" to the party and all hugging cheerfully for a picture with Mariah. How much more odd can that be, and then Mariah bringing Cannon too to other events to spend time with the kids and then everybody together. So bizarre in my world haha. At least, it's great to see that on the outside at least, all seem to get along just fine. (Sunday 31 January 2016; 14:28)

Re: Re: Walter (59,428) (59,438) (59,457) by May from Denmark I'm not anti Walter just wanted to add. But when I said that he is history it is exactly what I meant. He did great things with Mariah and other artists but since the very end of the 90s he hasn't written or produced anything relevant or worthy, it's like since he went bye with Mariah and Celine nothing else has happened for him. All he keeps doing is talent search and mentoring singing children. Even if he suddenly came back with Mariah, would he be able to spark the firecracker? Mariah needs a new sound and something not so over produced, and Walter wouldn't be able to make Mariah be any fresher. Ian I agree that those songs are awesome, but we also we young in those days, lot of teens who lived through Touch My Body and Obsessed don't like the "old Mariah" but probably because they identify those song with their youth, just like I identify mine with Prisoner, Make It Happen and Fantasy. I wouldn't mind Mariah getting a "push" promotionally but not a cheating kind like Rihanna and her free albums and Lady Gaga almost give away song in iTunes. (Remember that time she was offering the song for like 0.1 cents? Lol don't know if that was the exact price but it was mad low.) Since Adele's "Hello" it seems people are wanting more of the same melodrama type of songs, maybe Mariah would be able to bring one at the table and chart it, her image has been very clean lately with all the damage control. She could have a second big come back, I believe in that. (Sunday 31 January 2016; 14:25)

Sweet Sweet Fantasy tour hitlist Stockholm Globen (59,456) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Excluding AIWFCIY(#4), these are MC's charting singles on the Swedish charts, in descending order. It doesn't necessarily always reflect which songs are still being played on the radio or downloaded on iTunes. I'll save that for another post. Keep in mind that our list isn't like the Billboard Hot 100 (which has included airplay for decades). It's only since 2010 that streams have been counted on. Anyway, I thought It'd make an interesting list in anticipation of the tour. 1. Without You #1 2. When You Believe #2 3. Against All Odds #3 (All I Want For Christmas Is You #4) 4. Through The Rain #7 5. One Sweet Day #7 6. Honey #8 7. Endless Love #10 8. We Belong Together #11 9. I Know What You Want #11 10. Fantasy #13 11. Touch My Body #14 12. My All #14 13. Vision Of Love #17 14. Heartbreaker #18 15. I Want To Know What Love Is #20 16. Butterfly #24 17. I'll Be There #26 18. Hero #27 19. Emotions #30 20. Dreamlover #31 21. Always Be My Baby #38 22. Thank God I found You #43 23. Loverboy #44 24. Sweetheart #44 25. It's Like That #47 26. Get Your Number #49 27. Open Arms #54 28. Never Too Far #56 (Sunday 31 January 2016; 11:31)

Re: Mimi L (59,450) (59,455) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Hahah Travon, I can't even know what to say to that amazing post of yours. Thank you so much. That is such a big compliment. Made my day, dahlin', made my day. (Sunday 31 January 2016; 8:07)

J Lopez (59,454) by Mara from United States Ugh. Just wrote a long post about my thoughts on Lopez and I hit something and it erased it all. Very frustrating. I will rewrite tomorrow. (Sunday 31 January 2016; 7:54)

Stella (59,453) by Mara from United States I have been getting a kick out of reading the posts regarding Stella and her kids. I brought this up back in July when MC was going all over with JP on his super yacht including Israel. I wondered how he put up, with not only having Stella, but two other kids being carted everywhere he and his date went. It just seemed odd to me back then. Now, forget it. It just is a little off. I mean, I get that she may be Mariah's friend now, in addition to manager, but, when your kids are literally at every date with Mariah and her boyfriend it seems odd to me. I said back then, that he must be a very patient man or an understanding man. I also agree that we don't see enough of Mariah and Patricia together and I wonder why that is. True, we don't know what happens begins what Mariah/Stella allow us or want us to see, but it would be refreshing to see MC and her mom out and about or photographed together or caught out together as apposed to Stella's daughters. No disrespect to them at all, I do believe Stella paid a teemed our old in doing major public relations damage control to Mariah's image and that is to be recognized. What I don't understand is why she is literally every place MC is at every moment. I guess whoever originally posted it was right, it must be at the request of MC. Stella must somewhat enjoy it though, because she has no other life either, other than what she puts out there with her sisters wedding and whatnot. Ok just thought I would weigh in on this issue too. I have been reading all along, just took a break from posting. (Sunday 31 January 2016; 7:38)

Mariah and James (59,452) by Mara from United States I just wanted to say congratulations to Mariah and James. They deserve nothing but happiness and I hope they enjoy every moment of their life together. I can tell you it is so beautiful to see Mariah as happy as she is, from seeing her at the Beacon show last year when you can see the sadness on her face and all the pain she was going through, to seeing her at the Beacon this year and how she was beaming. How her life has changed. It is truly a beautiful thing and we know that James is a fan of her music and I'm sure he wants some MC songs written for him, so I can't wait for the post Packer album material as we all are craving some new Mariah music. We all know Mariah writes some of her best material when she is in love. I can't wait for this new year, she looks the best she has looked in years and we know the inspiration is there. 2016 is going to be such a phenomenal near for our girl. It's also amazing to me how miniscule Nick has become. He really is irrelevant unless he mentions MC in an interview. Just goes to show how much she has made him. The ring is absolutely beautiful and fit for a classic queen. Millionaire or not, the fact that James Packer wanted to spend that much money on a ring for Mariah says something. He wants to treat her like royalty and she deserves it. I'm glad she gets to show Nick what he lost and Luis too, along with Tommy. I'm sure TM always thought he was the best she ever had. I say go MC. Have a beautiful wedding, put Miss Monroe is a stunning dress and Roc is an adorable ensemble along with JP's kids and enjoy the moment and enjoy the love and happiness. And on a side note Mimi L you look hot tamale. Love the picture. (Sunday 31 January 2016; 7:19)

Mariah vibes (59,451) by Tevin from USA Watching American idol, Brenda K's daughter is giving me Mariah vibes with her look. Thinking Mariah debut era. What do you guys think? (Sunday 31 January 2016; 3:56)

Mimi L (59,450) by Travon..SweetSweetFantasy from USA You look gorgeous Honey. I just got home from a long day at work here in the Midwest. I must say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You are the epitome of hot tamale with a touch of a mermaid princess. Kill it honey. Kill it my queen. You better work. Work that pose honey. (Sunday 31 January 2016; 1:11)

I'm so over this discussion about Walter (59,449) by Giovanni from USA The man is history. Mariah doesn't need him for a hit. She's had many hits without him. I believe in her talent that she can make more amazing songs. As well as having another successful era. (Saturday 30 January 2016; 23:19)

Re: Walter (59,441) (59,447) by Tevin from USA I'm young 22. And I agree with you. I hope one day I can find a special lady that will let me use this song as my wedding song. It's so deep and beautiful. "Till the end of time" was the song I was referring to. (Saturday 30 January 2016; 22:59)

Re: Mimi L (59,442) (59,446) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Aww thank you Ardis. You are so sweet. (Saturday 30 January 2016; 19:06)

Re: Walter (59,441) (59,445) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ian, I understood your point, I wasn't attacking. I just wanted to give a possible explanation (or my opinion) as to why lambs stay slightly mad at Walter. All love dahlin', all love. (Saturday 30 January 2016; 19:04)

A little Sky News interview (59,444) by Billy from England, UK Just seen this interview. I don't know whether it's been posted but she looking amazing. (Saturday 30 January 2016; 17:35)

Re: Walter (59,428) (59,443) by Bill from the UK The Walter songs are all great, but I'd much rather see what MC and Ben Margulies would come up with all these years later. I still play the debut album probably the most out of all of them. (Saturday 30 January 2016; 15:52)

Mimi L (59,442) by Ardis Logic from Earth I love your profile pic. You look hot tamale lady. Good to put a face to the awesome posts. (Saturday 30 January 2016; 14:46)

Walter (59,441) by Ian from United Kingdom Mimi, I wasn't trying to "discredit" Mariah's input to the songs, I was just giving an opinion on the songwriting team that was MC and Walter, personally as someone who was a lamb from day one, (I am 48 years old, lol) looking at her back catalogue I still to this day get tingles listening to Till The End Of Time, And You Don't Remember, Just To Hold You Once Again, All I've Ever Wanted etc. Those songs lyrically and production wise for me are timeless and I wonder if 20 years down the line songs like Infinity, Touch My Body or Obsessed will have the same effect. I know her style of writing changed over the years but I live in hope that we get an album at some point in the future where she strips it back production wise and lets the lyrics and voice do the talking. I also miss the days when the remix was special and rappers added to the track rather than featuring on the main mix. Maybe I am just getting old. (Saturday 30 January 2016; 13:32)

View from a penthouse (59,440) by Andrew from UK Mariah doesn't "need" to write with anyone, per se. When Afanasieff is brought up its usually to do with an apathy about Mariah's current output and declining popularity. Nobody much wanted to buy Mariah's recent output. As much as people try to portray MIAM as a jewel that failed due to fate, it was a little clunky musically with too many tracks that could have been left on the floor, and felt too much like the usual over-produced R&B. One commentator wrote: "Carey has a ragged determination to prove that she's still street on every album and it's hard to do that when you're looking down from the penthouse." Well, given the lifestyle now being pushed in the media that penthouse looks a whole lot further from the ground, and, hypothetically, even less people will identify with her and buy into her music. Working with Walter or somebody like him to produce Adult Contemporary Pop could have her selling again. Yet, I'm not sure anybody really believes she'll change musical direction. Can only hope.

Re: Opulence vs. extravagance (59,437) (59,439) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Nikki, you just slayed me with your post. Loved it. (Saturday 30 January 2016; 10:44)

Re: Walter (59,428) (59,438) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I don't think lambs hate on Walter or try to discredit his input but I am guessing (from personal experience) what annoys them more is when it is suggested that Mariah "needs" Walter to write a decent song. Yes they had great iconic songs together, but Mariah didn't stop writing cheesy (in a good way) big ballads after that. I think people try to credit Walter so much for her initial songs that they forget Mariah was equally responsible for them. Don't forget that Walter may be successful but he is best know for his work with Mariah so why discredit Mariah's input in her songs? And Mariah is also an artist and an artist works her best when she is inspired and set free to follow their vision and the songs that she had with Walter were just not the type she was into. We have to embrace that. Plus Mariah had WBT almost 10 years after Walter and that song is also iconic and one of her most successful so no, not all of her new tracks are "throwaways". Do I crave a new sound from Mariah? Yes? Do I think she needs to go back to someone who once made a good writing partner but eventually betrayed her when she was at her most vulnerable? No. (Saturday 30 January 2016; 5:54)
