B on behalf of those you call negative (54,453) by Randy from USA I never said MC needs to lose weight. That's a battle no one wins. Oprah has given up, Kelly Clarkson has given up and even I have gained a ton of weight since my breakup in May of 2013. My last post was a simple logical question: if Mariah is straining to hit notes and sounds incredibly cringeworthy at times, and she is 45 years old with 25 years in the game, shouldn't she take a break or start singing songs that are simple like Right To Dream or Languishing because she has 25 years more to go before she is Patti's and Aretha's age. What will she sound like then at the current rate of deterioration and difficulty? I don't think that's disrespectful or negative. I have gone through many emotions with MC over the years. I have been enamored, at times indifferent, a few years ago post GMA Touch My Body I was furious with her. These days it's worse. I look at LA Reid and JD's comments. I look at her live performances. I look at her personal relationships. I look at the music and videos she's putting out and I feel worst than anger. I feel pity. And if you guys want to know why myself, Andrew or whosoever you all think are critical of her it is because everyonce in a while there's a distant glimmer of hope. We all love MC and she has impacted our lives tremendously but to see her legacy being threatened due to very poor choices, we feel we have to speak up. P.S thanks for the compliment.

Paranoia (54,452) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha anyone is welcome to see our track record and see who fired at whom first. Calling people names. Acting like a [...] with attitude problems. Thinking they are so important that people "pre-plan" attacks on them. Thinking they are being Mariah when they throw "shade" but Mariah doesn't get nasty, she shades with class. She doesn't resort to personal insults. If I had to attack anyone in an anti-Mariah campaign it would be Shelly or B or Lamb_O_Chop among others. People who genuinely support Mariah and stick to their opinions while not getting dirty with others. I only consider you to be a spiteful person who takes out their inferiority complex by bashing others and getting nasty. Why is it such a problem that I zeroed in on one of your posts when you are doing the same to me? You are also zero-ing in on one of my posts which wasn't even offensive towards Mariah. L.A. Reid, is that you? You are so paranoid that you think everyone is coming for you. When I used to write to you before, those were genuine messages with no hidden meanings. Stop being so paranoid. You are not that important that people are trying to take you down. Don't you dare ever try to tell me how I should feel about Mariah. (Tuesday 9 June 2015; 18:30)

Mimi L. from (54,451) by Marcus from Brazil Mimi L., didn't you say you were from the Philippines or another Asian country? If it is so, your Obama Care won't ever kick in. I think you and Shelly are very sweet people. Your posts are usually balanced leaning more to the positive, but nonetheless never borderline delusional. If there are two posters here bullies shouldn't pick on is you and Shelly. Remember that bullies cook in their own oil when their targets fight back, and I think she got the wrong one with you. I'm pretty sure you'll end up in their "Burn Book", but oh well, as long as they don't write "you're a pusher" or that "you made out with a hotdog", I think everything will be fine.

To HeatSeek on checking my facts (54,450) by Amber C from USA It is common knowledge that Tommy left Sony at one point dahling. My quote came directly from Billboard on a passage from his book. Please get the gist of a comment before you retort back. I hope it doesn't bother anyone on this sight if I leave this here. Go read the Mariah chapter, it's everything. It's Damien "Damizza's autobiography" from 2011 I believe. This guy is not the villain we want to believe heads. The book also contains a few Mariah photos I have never seen before.

Midem 2015: L.A. Reid calls "X Factor" "the worst thing I've ever done" (54,449) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End On Saturday June 6th, L. A. Reid was in Cannes France when he made the title statement. Funny how L. A. is reiterating Mariah's recent stance on her American Idol gig. But not at all surprising as they are longtime friends and business partners. It must have come up in numerous conversations how they both hated being judges on talent shows. It even happened simultaneously in the 2012-2013 television season. But to hear some people tell it there was supposedly a giant rift between MC and L. A. Reid that had Mariah whispering to random people in France who may or may not have a full grasp the of English language, of her utter unhappiness with Sony. When exactly would she had the time let alone the opportunity for this tête-à-tête? Judging from the mêlée that ensues every time she and her entourage steps out of the Peninsula, how does it even make sense sonically? Sounds like yet another disruptive rumour designed to introduce doubt into a relationship that seems completely intact. People should get regularly tested for bulkshititis is all I'm saying, I'm happy to administer the tests on a case by case basis. Mariah needs to redeem her sabotaged judgeship on American Horror Story somewhere somehow. One day I believe she will do just that. Shame on The Vendetta for ruining so many opportunities for Mariah to share her talent and musicianship. (Tuesday 9 June 2015; 18:18)

Mariah Carey is still working in Paris (54,448) by Travon..SweetSweetFantasy from USA Mariah Carey just revealed on twitter that she has just finished working on a new project in Paris (I assume) and can't wait for the world to see it. She also revealed on instagram the "creative genius's" that she has been working with there, as well. On a side note, I have always noticed Mariah Carey never stops working even on her breaks. It's nice to see her still dedicated to her craft and always find ways to be paid. (Tuesday 9 June 2015; 18:11)

Re: (54,408) by B from USA (54,447) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End For the record, I'm not the one who started it. If you track our posts over the last month you'll see how I never addressed her at all unless she came knocking first. I wasn't checking for her, period. She was obviously angling for a fight, I knew it but kept it cordial, it was just a matter of time before she took something general I wrote personally. Who knows what triggered it? My point is, if when I am shading [...], a random poster takes it personally, how is that my fault? There aren't supposed to even be [...] on a Mariah Carey message board to be shaded in the first place, let alone get personally indignant about it when it invariably happens. The Trojan [...] are only here to divert attention from the more sneaky ones. The only thing worse than the [...] (even you can't deny post here) are the "lambs" who do the bidding of [...] enough to be offended by assocciation. If you notice, they often communicate with the [...] as if there is no difference between them and us. I'll call out any post with questionable content because I've seen things I've personally written in speculation or jest end up in other forums as hearsay. I don't care if you're Miss Congeniality USA because look at the state of Mimi's relationships, left and right longtime friends and blood are coming for her jugular seemingly out of the blue. That tells me no one is incorruptible anywhere anytime. Why would I give anonymous posters more leeway than Morgan? Hell, he could be a poster on MCA. (Tuesday 9 June 2015; 18:05)

Ardis / photoshoot (54,446) by Luke from United Kingdom I love it too. It's a new type of freedom when you don't take things personally. I wonder what type of photoshoot she's had might have had done, imagine if she done something like her really edgy photoshoot she done for Vogue. (Tuesday 9 June 2015; 17:37)

B / shoot (54,445) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Apparently it will be an 18th century inspired shoot complete with petticoats haha and I'm guessing period outfits. So that makes it even more exciting, because this is something we have never seen Mariah do. This isn't the usual Mariah beauty shoot. I hope it's the cover too, I don't get how a legend like MC never got to be on the cover of these big magazines even in 2005 when she was all over and had her fashion in check with Andre Leon to guide her. (Tuesday 9 June 2015; 17:08)

(54,444) by B from USA This single should have been the song of the summer of 2008. It's Mariah Carey proving she's a Pop genius. I'll never understand radios lukewarm reception to this work of brilliance. I'll never understand why Migrate, Side Effects, I'm That Chick, and For The Record weren't released as singles. I hope Reid isn't as involved as heavily as he was during the E=MC2 era, an era he ruined by choosing the wrong singles. (Tuesday 9 June 2015; 16:50)

Mimi (54,443) by B from USA I hope Mariah is on the cover. It is exciting. She looked flawless in that red evening gown. She needs to dress the part. She needs to hire a stylist if she doesn't have one or fire the one who styled her for the first leg of her Vegas residency. She needs to dress like she did on AI. She looked like the megastar she is during her stint in hell with Satan. (Tuesday 9 June 2015; 16:37)

Alexis Morell Carrington Colby Dexter Rowan (54,442) by B from USA Stop trying to make yourself happen, it's not going to happen darling. Think about those poor fools that think you're funny when you write your nonsense. (Tuesday 9 June 2015; 16:17)

Randy (54,441) by B from USA I'm sorry if calling you out hurt your feelings. Your post and comments are just so bleak and it don't come off as tough love or constructive criticisms. I don't dislike you. I actually think your cute. I just wish you would post something other than negativity. We have Marcus and Andrew for that. Be the sexy smart man I know you are. (Tuesday 9 June 2015; 16:14)

B, haha (54,440) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter You don't even go here. Hahaha. I wish that too. I wish we all could be civilized and put out points forward with respect instead of resorting to personal insults. Anyways I hope it's cleared up now. I am sorry if my message hurt you. I would never want that. You fall in the list of people I admire on this board. Anyways what do you think about the HB-Jean Paul things? It's exciting. I have always wanted Mariah on HB, Vogue and Vanity Fair. (Tuesday 9 June 2015; 16:12)

I just have a lot of feelings (54,439) by B from USA I wish we could all get along like we used to in middle school. I wish I could bake a cake filled with rainbows and smiles and everyone would eat and be happy. (Tuesday 9 June 2015; 16:03)

B (54,437) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter B, you must have misunderstood my message. None of it was directed at you. Both messages (with your name on it and Marcus's name) was directed only at "Baby". I replied to Marcus' message where he said he is glad I raised my voice against Baby throwing personal attacks at me and I replied to your message where everything I said was solely about Baby. I love you too, and I even mentioned in my post directed at you, that I like you because you are always positive and you defend Mariah but without getting violent. Sorry if I wrote something that made you feel like it was directed at you. It wasn't. I love you and I appreciate your posts. If it was because I used "their" in my post, it's because I don't know whether Baby is a girl or a boy. So yes I always write "their" when I am talking about him/her. (Tuesday 9 June 2015; 15:35)

Harper's Bazaar (54,436) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Is Mariah going to be featured on Harper's Bazaar? I am excited. She posted this photo with Jean Paul Goude and taggged HB on it. She must have been to Paris for an epic photoshoot. (Tuesday 9 June 2015; 15:25)

Mimi (54,435) by B from USA How did I bash you? I asked that you and Baby stop bashing each other because I love you both. I've never disrespected you and never would. Was your name mention with the goats? No it was not. (Tuesday 9 June 2015; 15:15)

Marcus and Randy (54,434) by B from USA If I need help, so do you. You come to a message board and complain almost on a daily basis. Randy, the women you work with think Mariah's voice is shot and that she might as well loose the weight and you're always so ashamed or disappointed when MC performs. Sorry not sorry. (Tuesday 9 June 2015; 14:54)

Re: Luke / Miguel Ruiz (54,433) by Ardis Logic from Earth Yes, I love that quote. I also love his (Miguel Ruiz) book "The Four Agreements". It would do everyone good to read that book. 1. Be impeccable with your words. 2. Don't take anything personally. 3. Don't make assumptions. 4. Always do your best. Sometimes it's challenging to do but if you continue to strive to do these things it is life changing. (Tuesday 9 June 2015; 14:19)

Hmmm? (54,417) by Amber C from USA (54,432) by HeatSeek from Check you facts Amber, Mottola left Sony (booted out) in 2003. He's not been at Sony in more than 10 years. In fact he started Casablanca records part of the Universal music family, essentially following MC to Universal. Stalkerish. (Tuesday 9 June 2015; 12:30)

Sissies, morons, and goats oh my (54,431) by Licia from USA I've seen more name calling from the so called positive lambs than I've seen from the other side. Now don't start crying when they start hitting below the belt as well. Anyway it's sad that we can't have adult conversations with different opinions without all this nonsense. If you want to believe everything is rosy and peachy in Mariahland then cool. It's your right. If some of us don't like how things are going and we feel the need to criticize, we have that right as well. Either way no side deserves to be attacked for their opinion or should be getting called out their name. (Tuesday 9 June 2015; 11:38)

Confrontation (54,430) by Luke from United Kingdom None of us are clearly ever going to completely agree with eachother. But why does it get so catty that we end up trying to best the other person in a childish way? I'm going to leave this quote here. "Don't take anything personally. Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering." - Miguel Ruiz (Tuesday 9 June 2015; 11:31)

Re: View from a cushion (54,399) by Andrew from UK (54,429) by darrian liu from taiwan I disagree with your post. Mariah did miss some notes and runs out of breath at times, but not all the time. Most of the time, she has good breath control and maintains good intonation (maintaining pitch). Her problem now is her extra effort at higher notes when done in closed vowels and her belting, while consistently resonant and well-placed, must be polished more esp in the 5th octave. That doesn't mean she needs a break. That's the last thing she needs. Performing more will give you more confidence as well as retraining your vocal cords. It's like preparing for her second comeback. What she needs is just keep practicing with a vocal coach. Because when you take a break from singing, your voice actually regresses a bit. I do agree she should move more and engage the audience more, like the 1995 MSG. Actually I don't think she puts her all in recent performances because her confidence is still wobbly. The key to good singing is just to let go, and it's clear she's not letting go just yet. Taking a break won't cut it. Lighten up lol, critique what needs to be and celebrate what needs to be. You don't have to be uptight all the time to keep things real. (Tuesday 9 June 2015; 10:58)

Didn't know we're on a mystery thriller genre board / Marcus (54,428) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Marcus I have seen the personal insults and chose to overlook those. I have seen the Obama Care comments, the comments implying I am below their supposed status (because well of course I am not going to be on the same level as her highness). Loco talk 101 "You're no match for me, and that's not speculation. That's a fact. You're just bitter that I'm not on your team because you know how good I am at what I do." Someone clearly suffers from superiority complex. I am just going to say this again, I find it hilarious that all these came out of me saying "I think Mariah may be upset with what's going on around her." Saying I quoted the Daily Mail to diss Mariah. I mean really? Can't you read? Plus I am the one who has time and again called bullshit on DM's credibility a million times. Child seems to find hidden meanings in everything. Hidden messages Mariah is supposedly sending their way, hidden messages "haters" are supposedly giving out on this board. Someone clearly is seeing a lot of mystery thrillers nowadays so they try to "decipher" everything. Even when it is just a clear cut message. Apparently I failed to find out the "grand scheme" here.
