Adele's reign is over (59,052) by 123 from USA Justin dethroned her after ten weeks for all of you people who actually believed this would go on much longer. Hopefully some of you can sleep now. Lol. (Tuesday 12 January 2016; 5:04)

A new sound is a must (59,051) by Cgee54 from Usa I would love for Mariah to do a concept album and let her emotions do the talking just like in jazz. Billie Holiday didn't have a stellar voice but she let her experiences and her phrasing do all the talking. I would love for Mariah either A) do an album like Miguel, abstract in sound but solid in vocal melodies or B) produce and write an album blending different melodies driven from jazz, r&b, and soul and modernize these sounds to make a new sound. I think Mariah should stay away from pop and urban music and produce work that has substance. (Tuesday 12 January 2016; 3:44)

Adele's reign with Hello (59,050) by Ty from USA Is over. Thank God, I thought she was closing in on Mariah. (Tuesday 12 January 2016; 1:04)

Re: Mariah vs Beyonce (59,045) (59,049) by B from USA Easily. I was reading an article on Billboard article earlier that said Bey has a four octave range and I said to myself since when, lol. I've been a fan of B since Destiny's Child's first album and No, No, No but she's not the best singer of her generation. She can sing but her voice isn't a once in a generation type of thing.

Re: Mariah vs Beyonce (59,045) (59,048) by JAXGH from United States I remember a friend saying that Mariah in the 90's is better. Which I understand because Mariah owned 90s and he really doesn't pay attention to Mimi closely. Frankly, I think Beyonce is better live. But in studio, Mariah still does miles better. I think Beyonce just have more relatable songs and are easier to sing along to. She's the typical self obsessed girl (I'm queen, I run this, I'm the number one diva in the game, I'm a grown woman). If you really look closely, Beyonce is pretty much what most girls really are inside, conceited and self-centered. All about being "flawless". And she knows most women relate to it so she just goes for it. Now I actually understand why Mariah never collaborated with her. She's really full of herself lmao. But it's also a product of always aiming to be the "best" since she was the leader of DC. People expected that she was the most successful of out the 3. I admire Mariah so much more now. She never once ever bragged about being the best. Or never became arrogant. The most self-centered line probably is "I bet she can't do it like me, she'll never be MC" which isn't that bad. At all.

Hallmark, recent happenings and so on (59,047) by Dustbin from USA I think the Hallmark movie deal can be great if she sticks to not acting in the movies. I agree with acting in big Hollywood movies, but M needs direction and the right role. When she has control like in music videos she just wants to look pretty. No hate, we all do that via selfies lol. But we don't want to see Mariah being Mariah in movies, it translates bad. Using Hallmark as a platform for marketing Christmas music would be A+. Using her celebrity to get some B actors into Christmas movies that use her Christmas music would be great. I think Mariah would have some really corny/fairy tale ideas that would be perfect for Hallmark. Mariah is looking really great lately. She does seem to be happy, and I don't mind "Stella" or the hashtags. If she is planning an album, I am just praying for her voice and hearing Mariah's emotion. She has a lot of heartbreak in her life and passion, we don't need to hear over manipulated vocals. We just need to hear her sing her heart out. Live. An album like Mary J's London Sessions would be bomb for M. Just some thoughts. Happy New year you aall. Sure wish I could login into to this site on my iPhone. (Tuesday 12 January 2016; 0:28)

Mariah Vs Beyonce (59,046) by Ardis Logic from Earth No disrespect to Beyoncé she is a great singer but, I will always be team Mariah. She has one of the most beautiful voices in the history of music. She is so fluid, smooth, and soulful. Here's a Bey vs MC video. (Tuesday 12 January 2016; 0:28)

Mariah vs Beyonce (59,045) by Giovanni from USA In my personal opinion, Beyonce is overrated. She can sing and give strong solid vocals. But I'm just not impressed with her. I also find her music bad. The reason I'm bringing her up is because many including some of my friends (of all races) think she's the best singer of this generation. My question to you all is, do you think Mariah can still win in a vocal battle with Beyonce? (Monday 11 January 2016; 23:54)

Mimi L. (59,044) by Giovanni from USA I agree. I'm not feeling the whole Hallmark movie projects. Mariah is way better than that channel. She should be directing or staring in real big budget movies. (Monday 11 January 2016; 23:46)

Re: Hallmark (59,036) (59,043) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I was hoping the Hallmark thing was a one-off deal where she fulfills her desire to make a cutesy Christmas movie and then over. I am not a big fan of the 3 movie deal idea but well I don't know the details. I wanted it to be a one-off deal because if Mariah continues starring in cheesy movies she will never be able to be taken seriously as an actress. I was hoping she would use her and James's contact to get in some big budget movies as an actress (in addition to getting a deal to have the main song of a big budget movie of course). If she really wants to take up acting (which she did), she should work with the right people. If she is not starring in the Hallmark movies and just working as a director, I would still ask her to reconsider it, because I don't want her to get chalked up as a cheesy low budget movie director. One step at a time Mimi. Conquer acting, directing can come later. You have a lot of time. (Monday 11 January 2016; 20:35)

Justin (59,042) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So Bieber finally dethroned Adele with "Sorry". We can all relax now, OSD's record is still intact hahah. I thought "Love Yourself" will be his next #1 because it has been a while that "Sorry" was at #2 to Adele's #1 on hot 100, while "Love Yourself" took #1 spot from Adele on the iTunes chart. But I am glad "Sorry" reached #1 because I really enjoy that song. Congrats Justin and the lambily hahah (we love everybody but we love our records more). (Monday 11 January 2016; 20:10)

Golden Globes (59,041) by Lee TS from USA I want to see Mariah win one. (Monday 11 January 2016; 19:21)

Re: Beyonce and Mariah (59,030) (59,040) by B from USA Minja? She was younger when they worked together. (Monday 11 January 2016; 19:15)

Easiest songs to sing (59,039) by Ardis Logic from Earth I think "Obsessed" is probably the most easiest to sing. Along with "Underneath the Stars", "Boy", and "The One", just to name a few. (Monday 11 January 2016; 19:11)

Re: Lambily opinion: Mariah's easiest song? (59,025) (59,038) by Lara from Middle East I though Always Be My Baby was easy to sing untill I've tried it in a karaoke. Wow that sounded so different from singing it in the car, especially when you try to concentrate not to make the same hand movements lol. I guess if you have some skills, Hero is relatively easy (I think this is why most people chose to cover it) or Prisoner if you choose one of her unknown gems. (Monday 11 January 2016; 18:50)

Re: Lambily opinion: Mariah's easiest song? (59,037) by Lee TS from USA Obsessed. (Monday 11 January 2016; 17:21)

Re: Hallmark (59,032) (59,036) by B from USA Andrew, I'm not talking about Mariah's performance. Her film was a ratings success for Hallmark. If the film hadn't been a success for the network they wouldn't have hired her to direct three more films. Just saying. (Monday 11 January 2016; 16:21)

Re: Lambily opinion: Mariah's easiest song? (59,029) (59,035) by B from USA Your Girl, lol. (Monday 11 January 2016; 16:22)

Re: Lambily opinion: Mariah's easiest song? (59,025) (59,034) by Musti from UK X-Girlfriend and Petals are fairly easy to sing. A more fun (and doable) one is I'm That Chick. I also like trying Migrate. It's a lot of fun. (Monday 11 January 2016; 16:11)

Re: Lambily opinion: Mariah's easiest song? (59,029) (59,033) by Philipp from Switzerland I find TMB and WBT quite difficult to sing along, because she sings so fast. DFAU I think is not so difficult to sing along (except the end). (Monday 11 January 2016; 14:12)

Re: Hallmark (59,021) (59,032) by Andrew from UK By what measurement can you call it a success? Seems more taken an embarrassing and amateurish waste of time and money. Back to the day job. (Monday 11 January 2016; 13:49)

Easy songs (59,031) by R&B Junkie from Poland Neither We Belong Together nor Touch My Body are easy to sing because they both require sophisticated breath control. I don't know if there's any song that is easy for me to sing since I am not a woman and I don't have 5-octave range. (Monday 11 January 2016; 13:32)

Beyonce and Mariah (59,030) by JAXGH from United States I know that Mariah and Beyonce are personal friends and they probably sing together when they see each other and jam along. They've done it before on performances as well but only on groups (What More Can I Give, Just Stand Up). I mean I can only imagine how a record will sound with 2 of the best singers in the game. I will always wish that it was possible if Mariah hadn't moved out of Sony. But now that she is back with Epic, do you guys think it's finally possible for the two to collaborate? Are Epic artists even allowed to work with co-Sony label artists? Mariah is Epic, Beyonce is Columbia, if you guys were wondering. Both companies are owned by Sony. Also I feel like after Mariah left Columbia, all the bet was put to Beyonce when she went solo. She was up against Mariah on mid 2000s. Do you guys think that there's some sort of rivalry between them thats why they've never ever collaborated? I wonder. I have yet to hear Mariah sing with a younger female singer still. (Or has she already? Please let me know if I'm unaware.) (Monday 11 January 2016; 12:50)

Re: Lambily opinion: Mariah's easiest song? (59,025) (59,029) by Terna from Nigeria You know I thought of this the other day. Does Mariah have any easy songs to sing along to? Well, I'd say Hero is easy and so is We Belong Together and Vision Of Love (for me though lol). Harder ones include Through The Rain, Mine Again, Stay The Night. She sings out of her range on these. (Monday 11 January 2016; 12:47)

Re: Lambily opinion: Mariah's easiest song? (59,027) (59,028) by JAXGH from United States Duh why didn't I think of that song? TMB is easily doable, except the climax part. Her belts are always ridiculously hard. My All, and any whisper toned records kill me and get me so hoarse. But another easy one and fun to sing along to is AIWFCIY (again except the climax). (Monday 11 January 2016; 12:21)
