Re: (57,668) (57,669) by B from USA Andrew, why do you constantly bash Mariah? A lip syncing machine? Do you honestly believe Adele has never lipped a performance? (Friday 6 November 2015; 15:28)

(57,668) by Andrew from UK "[Adele] is not just a lipsynching machine, just like Mariah." LMFAO. B*****s be cray-cray. Seriously, some people who tell other people to stop following Mariah might want to heed their own advice, if not for their mental health. (Friday 6 November 2015; 14:46)

Article: Underrated '00s pop songs you need to hear asap (57,667) by Gemma from Australia I'm sorry but I'm with Ignacio Pineda and Lee TS, I loved the whole Glitter soundtrack especially Loverboy. I agree the movie was pretty bad but not as bad as it was made out to be, I mean when I finally decided to watch it I was thinking it was going to be a disaster like the movie Dragonball was but it wasn't.

Don't worry (57,666) by JAXGH from United States James Packer is the answer to Mariah's prayers lmao. She was pretty cheap and tacky the time she was with Nick. Poor promotion, mediocre music videos and just all around a hot mess. She really didn't hire the best people. But this time, God is giving Mariah all the money she needs (not saying she's a gold digger, but James does pamper her). Think about it, she's paired up with a hard working, demure, successful, intelligent, wealthy person, also not an attention whore. Mariah will not only have the best production but this time, she's not holding back on promotion and spending and paying the best of the best, if that's what it takes to bring back real music. Unlimited amount of cash to spend on best producers, best promoters, best video directors, best manager, best stylist, best everything. I'm really excited for the next album you all. She's fed up with all these fools neglecting her art. Thank you Lord for giving Mariah what she deserves and reserving a man that she ultimately need. Let's go girl. (Friday 6 November 2015; 7:43)

Re: Next album (57,658) (57,665) by JC from USA I like "Mine Again". TBH, I've been listening to "Stay the Night" a lot. I think it's also seemingly effortless but so strong. (Friday 6 November 2015; 5:05)

Re article: Underrated '00s pop songs you need to hear asap (57,644) (57,664) by JC from USA It was actually the best-selling song of 2001. (Friday 6 November 2015; 5:04)

Re: Adele (57,659) (57,663) by JC from USA Glad you own it, but it did. We should all appreciate the vocal talents brought to us by other people. I'm a lamb, through and through, but I refuse to bash on other artists. It's not a good look. It also doesn't make sense when we compare every contemporary, charting artist to MC. Side note: Can't wait for the snow to fall and listen to "Miss You Most". (Friday 6 November 2015; 5:02)

Last Mariah song that made me cry was (57,662) by Lee TS from USA Well not to be too dramatic but had me a bit teary eyed and all up in my Nick Minaj feels was When You Believe. Don't know how, don't know why but yeah, it was touching a chord within me. Yours? (Friday 6 November 2015; 3:13)

Re: Paradox of the charts (57,657) (57,661) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Mariah is always going to be a diva by the original and true definition. She's a very talented singer, no? So that's a weak reason to stop supporting her artistry. On top of that, her personality and sense of humour lends itself naturally to parodying the demanding diva trope. It shouldn't take a genius to know the difference, but I digress. Whatever happened to: I don't like XYZ's music, therefore I am not a fan? Why is there such a reluctance to let go of Mariah once you've fallen out of like with her? I can't think of any other artist, people claim to dislike their very essence, yet they can't seem to stop obsessing over. What has Mariah ever said or done musically or privately that garners that kind of response? It's utter bullshit. (Friday 6 November 2015; 3:10)

(57,660) by David F from Mexico Adele is making a diva of herself on the heels of Celine Dion not Mariah like, because remember Mariah has done it all, ballads, pop, r&b, hip hop, christmas, a little rock, big ass duets, a little country, dance, remixes. So if some of you are calling Adele the queen, she needs to convince me more, not for the fame but the risks she takes to change the game. Mariah always did, Ariana is acting now like Christina but to me is a silly girl playing all characters redoing all that is done. Someday Mariah will shine again with a song that I believe she has already recorded. (Friday 6 November 2015; 2:26)

Adele (57,659) by Giovanni from USA I see that my post about Adele's new song came off kinda rude and disrespectful. So I'd like to apologize. Adele is super talented with an amazing voice. She's one of the most powerful singers of today. (Friday 6 November 2015; 1:02)

Next album (57,658) by Giovanni from USA I hope Mariah finds herself again as an artist and as a singer. Her voice has improved a lot. So I'd like her to get serious and write some amazing songs. I'd definitely love another Miguel collaboration. I think she needs a big belting song (ala "Mine again")where she really shows she's still one of the best singers/vocalists. (Friday 6 November 2015; 0:59)

Re: Paradox of the charts (57,648) (57,657) by Manny from U.S. I brought up this diva thing because of the interview she gave. I did notice at the Macau performance, she told the photographers to take pictures of the other side. I thought to myself, "Come on girl, focus on the singing." Was that being a diva? I've had discussions with my friends and my ex. They tell me they used to buy her records until she became a big diva. I'm not here to talk bad about Mariah. I'm only stating what my friends say. I can't wait to see her in February. (Thursday 5 November 2015; 22:23)

Vocalist renaissance? (57,652) (57,656) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Lest we forget davidf, MIAMTEC was sabotaged (shout out to Glitter). Granted the accidental fall of epic injury did its worst first but the leaking of the title and constant push backs was not a normal Mariah thing. Her usual rollout is complete and utter silence until she has an actual album rearing to go. It has become obvious in hindsight that there were people in her camp messing with her album marketing. For instance all those articles mentioning a surprise album, like who is dumb enough to talk about a surprise album release, thereby ruining the surprise? That's not stupidity (well, not only). That's called sabotage. It's howcome a hardcore Lamb, a.k.a. me, didn't even register that her album dropped for real until late last summer. I was on a ranch though not entirely off grid, I just had an insanely busy spring-summer. I just assumed there would be bigger fanfare in mainstream media, ads etc, once her album actually dropped. I mean, I caught elevator-gate on the same day it happened but I completely missed MIAMTEC. All of this was to say that I agree largely with your prediction on Adele's success being a blessing because she is a true vocalist and not just a lipsynching machine, just like Mariah. The Art Of Letting Go sounds like Hello the same way Loving You sounds like Bliss. The inspiration obviously is the former artist. Anyway, I'm looking forward to the rise of the vocalists. Mediocrity has made mainstream music unbearable for no reason at all and I am so ready for the tide to turn In Mariah's favour. (Thursday 5 November 2015; 16:24)

Loverboy (57,655) by B from USA I refuse to judge Loverboy based on the version that was rush released. I want to hear the original version with the Firecracker sample. (Thursday 5 November 2015; 15:46)

Mariah (57,654) by B from USA Mariah Carey ranking at No. 9 on the annual list of the top-earning women in music in 2015, her twentyfifth year in the industry, is amazing. She's still making bank and she's showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon. (Thursday 5 November 2015; 15:45)

Mariah added new dates to Christmas show in NYC (57,653) by Philipp from Switzerland I will miss her show by one night. I hope she does one more, please. (Thursday 5 November 2015; 13:34)

The art of letting go (57,652) by David F from Mexico I agree with you T.H from Lebanon this song is a masterpiece I love the intro so much and the middle part plus the choruses and imagine the process of it, nobody would ever show MC how to make a song she has that X-Factor a secret place in her mind where she gets all the feelings to create raw songs Adele is a vocalist might mean that people start to pay attention to talent and why not is time for Mariah to pull something and start belting out too time for the divas is coming again. (Thursday 5 November 2015; 8:45)

Article: Underrated '00s pop songs you need to hear asap (57,651) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Ditto on Loverboy being silly and campy. I believe the track was deliberately constructed to sound that way and was not really meant to sound sexy. Look at how it was used in the movie - almost comical. Heck, even the video is so ridiculously over the top that I won't be surprised if it was some sort of parody of the race scene from Grease or similarly-themed movie clips / music videos. It's one of her weakest lead singles to date but definitely not the worst. And yeah, I hope the original mix surfaces one day. (Thursday 5 November 2015; 7:56)

Mariah makes $27 million (57,650) by Travon..SweetSweetFantasy from USA The fact that Mariah made this much money without much promo and no music releases, shows how much she is wanted. Vegas has not paid her 15 million yet. It has just crossed close to 16 million is grossing sales. Just saying. It's not even Christmas yet and she is making bank. Way to go Mariah Carey. (Thursday 5 November 2015; 1:38)

Re: Paradox of the charts (57,643) (57,648) by May from Denmark I've always felt Mariah's fame about her diva antics were mere constructions by the gossip media and while to some extent it was ok I think it blew up out of proportions. My life partner once commented to me "your idol can't sing anymore", err, he doesn't even listen to her and knows nothing about her music, except the bits he heard sometimes when I put her music on, so how will he even know? And that comment was one of the many headlines he sees on the net randomly when something not so good happens with Mariah, so he has been fed only negative stuff about her and jumps in the wagon. Not in a mean way, he just thinks he is "informing" me haha, he knows I love Mariah. Like my partner in life, there are many who believe the lies published. I also don't understand why she often gets bashed by the sexiness thing, as if other's didn't. Cher with her current age still wears see through stuff, barely covered with sequins on stage, and out of stage she still shows legs, wears mini skirts and frequently flashes her "tatas" with low cuts, don't mind them, they look great haha. The weight bashing hits all artists it seems, still recall how much they bashed Aguilera when she gained some weight but the more they talked the skimpier her outfits got haha, loved how she didn't care. Even Adele got the weight slap and she lost a considerable amount. I personally don't care if Mariah doesn't get another number one, of course I would love it because it would make her untouchable hehe but I much rather like if she had a big success again, a new big second come back. With something that could keep people talking for a long time. Maybe create another classic like "Make it happen". To me "Shake it off" should have been number 1. I see her creating something awesome like that again, not sure if for number 1 but definitely top 10 chart. I honestly would feel just happy with a come back. Right now I'm just enjoying her movie moves. (Wednesday 4 November 2015; 23:44)

Re: Whenever You Call cover (57,646) (57,647) by Lee TS from USA Of course nothing compares to the original. I almost forgot how amazing she was on here. I miss this Mariah, the girl who writes these beautiful songs with tender melodies and loving words. I love when she gets all soft and pink on us. I hope Packer is flourishing some beauty within her to write a great love song. (Wednesday 4 November 2015; 23:07)

Whenever You Call cover (57,646) by Lee TS from USA Oh wow I haven't seen one of his videos in the longest time. Watch this YouTuber's take on M, a very lovely cover. (Wednesday 4 November 2015; 21:32)

Funny (57,645) by Lee from USA I agree with Manny about the charts. But I have one problem: how it is that other artists do much worse than Mariah and gets praised, yet [censored] complain about Mimi's diva antics? (Wednesday 4 November 2015; 20:24)

Article: Underrated '00s pop songs you need to hear asap (57,644) by Ignacio Pineda from United States I always loved this song. It's so pop and hip-hop. I wonder what the original one was going to sound like. I actually really like the entire Glitter soundtrack. (Wednesday 4 November 2015; 19:40)
