Bikini moment (58,956) by Lee TS from USA Now I love me a Mariah in a bikini moment, love it and love them all. But her in that red wetsuit was so freaking sexy. Like she still stuns me as if I'm seeing her for the first time. The hair flip moment, magical. But that festive version of her doing TAOLG pose and her hair flowing with the slight head tilt, oh my gosh, I literally can't even. (Thursday 7 January 2016; 18:57)

Re: New photo (58,949) (58,955) by Lee TS from USA I don't know I thought it was obvious that the bikini shot was new, maybe because I saw this other photo of her with some people, where she was wearing that long black Letterman dress under a kimono thing. Weird. And she was wearing the same makeup and hair. I usually look at her photos by the makeup she wears, and her makeup was not the best. One obvious go to would be her belly button post birth. But hey, if people think the picture is over 10-15 years old that's a huge compliment. (Thursday 7 January 2016; 18:45)

Re: Oh please, Adele? (58,944) (58,954) by Tevin from USA Which song from Taylor Swift did you think was lame? "Shake it off and style", "Wildest dreams", "Blank space was good"? (Thursday 7 January 2016; 18:21)

Re: Swimsuit picture (58,950) (58,953) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter It's definitely new. The people saying it's a throwback picture are confusing it with this photo from 2006 and this photo from 2003. That's why they think they have seen it before but it's just that Mariah is posing in a similar way. The photo is new and was possibly take the same day as this photo, judging by the hairstyle.

Re: Oh please, Adele? (58,946) (58,952) by Tevin from USA Is that why Mariah said Obsessed could not be allowed to climb higher on the charts? (Thursday 7 January 2016; 17:33)

Re: Oh please, Adele? (58,945) (58,951) by B from USA Adele reminds of me Celine. (Thursday 7 January 2016; 16:37)

Swimsuit picture (58,950) by ksquarred from paris Some people are saying it's a throwback picture Mariah is trying to pass for new. Do you think it is? (Thursday 7 January 2016; 16:28)

New photo (58,949) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So finally we get the much requested bikini moment. I have seen some article post the new bikini shot Mariah posted and people are swearing up and down that it's an old picture and they are sure about it. Haha haters having a hard time believe that Mariah has actually lost so much weight. At first even I thought Stella is at it again, posting the 2006 famous bikini shots of her in the emerald bikini. But wow Mariah, she looks gorgeous. I am sure most people are thinking of the 2006 photos or 2003 photo (from Lee TS avatar) when they saw this picture and so they think it's old. Others are saying it is edited but come on it's not like she is stick thin in the pictures. She looks the same size she did in the paparazzi shots. So the queen is back. Now I want a music video.

Re: Oh please, Adele? (58,944) (58,946) by Seth M from South Africa Dear Mimi L. I think that you too have misunderstood the point that I was trying to make. You need not sing praises of other singers on a Mariah forum. I have clearly stated my opinion and you fail to understand that and misinterpret it as a fact. If you cannot comprehend that I used the other singers as a point of reference to provide examples then you need to read my posts again until you understand it. You are using emotion and not rational thinking in your statements. I again maintain that Rihanna's 13 number 1 hits is still not a threat to Mariah. I am not revealing my real name or location, but what I can say is that I have inside information as to how a number 1 hit is awarded. It is based on many factors not just the age, sales and airplay only. Knowing this, I am certain that Rihanna won't take over our queen's crown. She may get at least 2 more hits but it becomes very difficult then because of certain factors that are determined by the industry and Billboard. That is why, despite having a good album with MIAM, Mariah was not able to get a number 1 hit. Part of the reason has to do with industry politics and many other factors that ate confidential. Now that Mariah is back with Sony, I am certain that she will get another number 1 hit for reasons that I cannot explain. Employees of Billboard, especially senior management are usually not allowed to show favouitism to any artist or be part of fan clubs so it is difficult to get information from them but trust me, senior management at Billboard knows how the formulae works.

Re: Oh please, Adele? (58,936) (58,945) by Malcolm from Asia Just for your information, Katy Perry is definitely in her prime: Her last album debuted atop with 200k units sold and it produced 2 #1 hits. Her last world tour is her most successful to date and it is the highest-grossing tour by female artist for 2014. And she is the "Top-Earning Women In Music" for 2015, which our queen placed at #9. I'm saying this just to have a right and equal information about other artists because it's unfair for them and to their followers. Lastly, please stop abasing other artist especially when it's not even true and as I read your message, I think it's too far for being an opinion because you are clearly stating your facts.

Re: Oh please, Adele? (58,936) (58,944) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Just to clarify, this is not a post about throwing digs at you Seth, but while you are right about trends and how people vanish after being hot for a second, we can't rule out Adele yet. Mariah is one of the rare celebs who has outlived the success of her contemporaries. Similarly Adele may surprise us and outlive the success of her contemporaries. I am not even a fan of Adele, I mean I don't hate her of course, but I usually don't rush to buy or download Adele songs either but I will admit she is a talented songwriter and singer. As for Rihanna's #1's not being a threat to Mariah, I will have to disagree. It is a big threat. Rihanna's time is not done yet because she is still young. Nowadays every year there is a new "hot artist" who comes in and sweep 2-3 #1's with their album. First came Katy with Prism and took in 2 #1s, then came Miley with Bangerz which took a #1 and #2. Then Ariana (zero #1's still and she is apparently the next Mariah oops). Beyonce with Beyonce. Then of course Taylor and took in 3 #1's, 2 of which were pretty lame songs. Anyways what I am saying is if tomorrow Rihanna drops a highly publicized album which gets popular she can easily scoop 2-3 #1's which will bring her closer to Mariah. She is trying to keep her fans on edge about her new album even though it got delayed, so it can either be a hit or miss. And then another phoned in feature on an Eminem song would get another. In this age and time it's pretty easy to get a #1. So we can't say no one is a threat to Mariah. I will certainly not be happy if someone like Rihanna dethrones her. (Thursday 7 January 2016; 13:08)

Adele in MCA (58,943) by darrian liu from taiwan Tbh I'm happy for Adele for her success and is a fan of her music. I wish nothing but the best for her (see that pun?). But Mariah and Adele are two different artists with different artistries and I will never be threatened by any other artists' success, not even when they break all of our Mimi's records. Because while all those records are awesome, I did not become a full blown lamb because of those. I fell in love with Mariah because of her music, and her voice. She's done a million things to the industry and I'm very, very proud to know that she has broken barriers between genres and revolutionised the pop music landscape, musically and vocally. I love her because she's Mariah [censored] Carey, not because of her having 18 no. 1s, or the longest running number 1 of all time, or any other records she has broken. With or without those amazing records, she will still have her imprint all over the music world. Tbh I'd rather look up to someone who has no #1s but has influenced a generation of musicians after her than having all the 18 no.1 hits but only achieved those through chasing trends and not making a way for other artists.

Remix of Whenever You Call (58,942) by Ben from Sweden If you never have heard a remix of "Whenever You Call", then this one is for you. I love the drums. (Thursday 7 January 2016; 12:08)

Wetsuit or bikini (58,941) by Lee TS from USA Have your pick. Come through Mariah, come through. (Thursday 7 January 2016; 12:04)

Re: New photos (58,932) (58,940) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines I know, that hair flipping photo in particular is just insane. (Thursday 7 January 2016; 10:25)

Article: 33 Personal assistants tell all (58,939) by Gemma from Australia Well from what I read there, Mariah is nowhere near as bad as some of those other celebrities lol. (Thursday 7 January 2016; 8:44)

A duet album (58,938) by Amiroccan78 from Malaysia I was listening to Babyface and Toni Braxton "Love, marriage and divorce" album. And hoping for a Mariah, Babyface and Michael Bolton "Love, marriage and divorce" part 2 album. Another masterpiece maybe? (Thursday 7 January 2016; 5:18)

Re: Time to migrate (58,908) (58,937) by Tevin from USA I remember in highschool when E=MC2 came out and we had the school mall day for students and the community for our economics class. I had Migrate on my playlist and out of all the popular songs I had on my playlist Migrate was the only people were jamming too and asking for me to put it on repeat. That song turned my classroom restaurant into a club lol, school appropriate of course. (Thursday 7 January 2016; 3:22)

Re: Oh please, Adele? (58,928) (58,936) by Seth M from South Africa Nobody is knocking down Adele because she has current success. I was just pointing out that lambs need not be concerned about her current success as it is no threat to Mariah. Where is the logic in your statement implying that I feel threatened by Adele? I clearly pointed out that she is no match for Mariah. If you are realistic and look at recent artist trends, you will see that they are hot for a short period of time, they peak and then decline. Some even exit the industry. I did not say that Adele will not last but based on statistics and looking at recent trends, you will see the cycle repeat itself. Katy Perry, Leona Lewis, Ashanti, etc are all examples of this. Katy Perry and Leona are also great songwriters and they have written hit songs during their prime era but they fail to have the longevity and staying power that Mariah has. Based on this trend, it is probable that Adele may experience a similar fate. I am not saying that it will happen for certain, but it is probable. For the record, Rihanna having 13 number 1 hits is no threat to Mariah's 18. I have nothing against Adele and truly respect her catalogue of songs but in my opinion (and this is my opinion as everyone is entitled to) she is a one dimensional singer who the general public will get bored with in time. She lacks the versatility that Mariah has and that is why I am saying that Mariah has set the standard very high with her overall talent. (Thursday 7 January 2016; 3:19)

Re: New photos (58,921) (58,935) by Tevin from USA It's been reported that 1997 Mariah had discovered time travel while filming the Honey video, this picture serves as proof. Source is from lamb51. Lol Mariah looks amazing. (Thursday 7 January 2016; 3:15)

Re: Oh please, Adele? (58,925) (58,934) by Tevin from USA Rihanna is four phone in hook's away from matching Mariah's record. She is about to drop a new album too. Remember that saying never count your enemies out, because they might surprise you. (Thursday 7 January 2016; 3:12)

Re: New photos (58,932) (58,933) by B from USA She does look amazing. I also have a feeling she's gearing up for something big. (Thursday 7 January 2016; 2:59)

Re: New photos (58,921) (58,932) by Terna from Nigeria Good God. Mariah isn't aging at all, she looks straight out of the Honey video shoot if not better, I feel like she's coming for blood this time. New album things, a hybrid of Mariah Carey, Daydream and The Emancipation Of Mimi. (Thursday 7 January 2016; 1:29)

Diane Warren (58,931) by Giovanni from USA Does anybody know for a fact that Mariah was going to be working with Diane? Something tells me she's planning on making a masterpiece. Another "TEOM" perhaps? We shall see. (Thursday 7 January 2016; 0:34)
