Instead of (55,349) by Licia from USA Sony re-releasing the Merry Christmas album I'd rather them do a dvd of the Beacon Theater shows (or Vegas) or even just a live album of those shows. Doesn't that make more sense? Right about now I'd even take a compilation of unreleased songs. I'm in need of something new. Something like those would hold me over until they decide whether they will do a new album. (Monday 20 July 2015; 13:47)

More then 18 no's (55,348) by Warrior Butterfly from USA Mariah Carey has always been a global artist since the beginning in 1990. It got me thinking about all of the #1's Mariah has ever achieved turns out there are roughly over 40 of them. Usually when the compilations are released they are based of the American and European charts alone, for example a #1 Through The Rain was reached in Spain but is not a considered a #1 to be included on any releases. Granted some of songs got to #1 for maybe a week and fell off but I feel that irregardless of how long a #1's stays in that position it should still be considered since it managed to reach the top. On a side not I did not realize Thank God I Found You was a #1 until Mariah talked about it in her Memories And Rants series. (Monday 20 July 2015; 5:11)

Camouflage is a masterpeice (55,347) by Amber C from USA Camouflage is a masterpiece. (Monday 20 July 2015; 3:29)

Davidf (55,346) by NHYTG from nyc Hi David, here's the link to where you can find this information. Enjoy. (Sunday 19 July 2015; 20:10)

Asian market (55,345) by David F from Mexico Hello Ben from the Netherlands, thank you for providing information about the Asian charts for ''1 [...]", Like I said before Mariah's blessed by God and always something great happens to her to this day, like her music legacy still does very good in the Asian continet, so happy to see that for her because [...] into her music, it has to be valuable. And somehow the first no 1's compilation is repeating itself. I would advice her to promote herself more over there, like surprise appereances on tv, radios, some street walking, even she colud do big busineess but I don't know. Could you provide me the links so I can see the chart status? This gives me the chills. Bye. (Sunday 19 July 2015; 19:11)

What does "I Am" mean? (55,344) by Ardis Logic from Earth I believe when artists use this, they are saying, or trying to portray that they are godly. There is a whole website dedicated to this topic. (Sunday 19 July 2015; 19:01)

"I Am" (55,343) by Billy from Greece What's up with every female R&B singer using the "I Am" title lately? So you had Beyonce with "I Am... Sasha Fierce", then you had Mary J. Blige's song "I Am" around 09/10, then came Mariah's admittedly more original (!) "Me. I Am Mariah" (which if you think about it, predates all of them ) and now we have Leona Lewis's new album called "I Am". I mean, seriously? I'm sure I'm also missing a couple more in between. Finally, according to a rather obscure interview from last year apparently Mariah had the exact same concept with Beyonce's self-titled album when it came to packaging, title and release, only she got robbed. She didn't name her, but that's the only one I could think of on the basis of the things MC said. If I find this interview again, I'll post it. (Sunday 19 July 2015; 18:40)

Licia (Back In Time) (55,342) by Andrew from UK Licia, your views are almost on point. Many obsessives sticking pins into voodoo Nick dolls without much cause is quite alarming. And he wasn't disliked because he's black (why do people keep banging on about race) he was disliked because he's a bit of a d*ck. Yet, your comment that men should be the breadwinners sounds exactly like a comment that would have come out of Nick Cannon's mouth. I can almost hear him saying it. Retract it. Retract it before it's too late, before it gets worse and you grow pubescent facial hair, rap or do comedy so bad that people wish they could un-learn English, get dressed in the dark every day, tell all the big boys about your rude-y parts so that they'll like you, and keep calling Mariah "my wife" as if her identity was now fully dependent upon yours. But seriously gender stereotypes are so old out-dated they're just plain ridiculous now. Unless maybe you live in the Caliphate. In which case, go for it. (Sunday 19 July 2015; 18:20)

#1 To Infinity (55,341) by NHYTG from nyc The album is still going strong on Asian iTunes charts: #1 in Taiwan and Indonesia, #9 in the Philippines, #5 in Hongkong, #18 in Thailand, #7 in Singapore, #8 in Malaysia. Greatest Hits is #9 in Laos. (Sunday 19 July 2015; 17:45)

Licia (55,340) by Anthony Basco from Cardiff, Wales I didn't say you said that. No I did not say that. I said many of us were brought up that men should earn women should be home makers. That's what I said. I didn't say anything about you saying Mariah should do the same. I was simply rejecting the idea that being brought up a certain way doesn't mean you have to share that idea. I wasn't attacking anyone, nor was I putting words in your mouth. Nor am I attacking Nick. I was directly replying to your comment about the way people are brought up defining their thoughts and opinions. I have no opinion on how other people live their lives as frankly it's none of my business and I have no time picking apart other people. I just offered a different way of looking at things. (Sunday 19 July 2015; 17:43)

Faded, Cry and Camouflage (55,339) by Ty from USA I still believe (no pun intended) that Cry, Faded are three of the most emotional and intriguing songs Mariah has ever done. To not have Faded played on the radio should have been a crime. All three songs are exceptional. (Sunday 19 July 2015; 15:54)

Lol (55,338) by Licia from USA You all can make a million messages about gender roles, but we all know that none of you would have accepted Nick being a stay at home dad. In your eyes that would have further proved your assumption that he just wanted to live off her. I stand by everything I said. He should have been working and we still have no proof he cheated. The end. Next topic. Lol. (Sunday 19 July 2015; 15:48)

Who's the man? (55,337) by Ardis Logic from Earth There has been a dramatic change in the work force in the last few years. I think most men who are "stay at home fathers" would probably rather be working, but it is just gotten extremely difficult for men to find jobs. Too many jobs are also geared more towards women. Also because of the war, that has been going on for what feels like forever, there are a lot more men who are at home now disabled, so they stay at home and their wife works. There should be no shame in this at all. Men who stay at home and take care of the kids and house should be respected just the same as the women who have done it for years. Plus if the woman wants to be with a man who is a "stay at home dad" that is her choice. Who are we to judge their situation? If that situation is not for you then don't get into it. Simple as that.

Anthony (55,336) by Bill from the UK Just a side note to say I appreciate the Majora's Mask avatar. Huge fan of the franchise but personally more a Link To The Past man myself. Anyway, back to arguing about James and Nick. (Sunday 19 July 2015; 14:43)

The issue of cheating / proof? (55,335) by Ardis Logic from Earth We all know that Mariah expresses herself through music. Right? So I wonder why in the world she choose this song to sing of all songs. Just at that time when her relationship with Nick was falling apart. "Don't Explain" originally recoded by Billie Holiday. Then Mariah choose to change the lyrics to "I know you cheated, motherf--ker," instead of, "And I know you cheat, Right or wrong, don't matter." I wonder why she would do that for no reason? That's all the proof I need right there. Mariah herself is telling us that this man cheated on her. (Sunday 19 July 2015; 14:43)

Anthony / Lee Ts (55,334) by Licia from USA Anthony when did I say Mariah needed to stay home and be a home maker?I said he should work regardless of her having millions. Lee thanks for getting what I was saying. People totally missed the point because they wanted to just take an opportunity to take more shots at the man. (Sunday 19 July 2015; 13:54)

Re: enwar00 / "Cry." (55,333) by Billy from Greece Enwar00, I second what you say. "Cry." is indeed a masterpiece and a career highlight. I had never heard Mariah using that tone and area of her voice in a studio recording before. This song is proof that she creates "vocal compositions" unlike anyone else. Marvin Gaye used to have a similar approach via vocal layering, and Mariah is equally if not more phenomenal. "Cry." showcases the musician that she is, not the popstar. It could be a song in an avant-garde, supposedly "serious" artist's cd. It is sophisticated, deep, while the minimalist reverbaration of "cry" makes you feel as if you enter a different zone. Finally, though most people - albeit rightfully - salute early Mariah as the greatest vocalist in the world, for me this delivery is the epitome of the greatest singing I've ever heard. The vocal and emotional complexities that are found in "Cry." could not have been achieved by young Mariah. (Sunday 19 July 2015; 12:16)

Applause for Licia (55,332) by Lee TS from USA Cheers, toast, bravo to you my dear. I agree with everything you said. Nick probably felt a bit insecure compared to Mariah, no man wants to be aka Mr. Carey. Can you blame the guy for wanting to step his game up and provide for his family? Yes he did take on too many gigs that makes no sense, like DJ-ing? I doubt he makes the celebrity dj quota and that takes him away from his family. I don't believe he cheated because no one has yet to provide receipts. Ok this is going to sound offensive, but not even a transgender woman has come out to claim anything. Just because it seems to be the popular celebrity thing to do. To be honest, it's more realistic that it was Mariah's insecurity talking when she was pining for the abandoner. Overall, I think they have both maintain a very respectful separation. Nothing scandalous or outrageous. Let's be happy that M has moved on and found new love. I think one thing M will probably miss is him being goofy to make her laugh. That's one quality she loves, a guy with a sense of humor. I hope Packer can crack a few good jokes now and then.

Licia re: workings moms and househusbands (55,331) by Anthony Basco from Cardiff, Wales Licia, I understand that's the way you were brought up, and so too were many of us here that men were the earners and women the home makers. Just because that's how we were brought up doesn't make it right to carry that thought process forward. Times have changed dramatically and carrying forward old fashioned notions can't be excused by "that's how I was brought up". I was brought up that every little boy grew up to be a man who fell in love with a woman and made babies. It's a good job I was able to change my mindset regarding what I was brought up to know because as a gay man that would have caused a plethora of problems. Just saying. (Sunday 19 July 2015; 12:04)

Cry. (55,330) by enwar00 from usa Does anyone else think this song is a masterpiece? I'm in love with it. It's crazy that when I first got MIAMTEC I used to skip it and just start with Faded. I'm convinced Cry. reminds me of "classic Mariah" songs. I also think it's ballsy that the album opens with it. (Sunday 19 July 2015; 10:34)

Webmaster (55,329) by Licia from USA If you want to call me old fashioned then fine. That's just how I was brought up. Yeah a man is supposed to work. It doesn't matter if the woman has money or is more talented. Furthermore your whole statement makes no sense. First you all complain because you all thought he only wanted to live off her, then you're mad because he works a lot, and now you tell me he should have been a house husband and lived off her. Lol. (Sunday 19 July 2015; 4:04)

Re: Licia (55,328) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands "As a man he should be working." Aren't you a little old-fashioned? Why can't a woman be the breadwinner and the man looks after the children? Especially if the woman is more talented than the man? (Sunday 19 July 2015; 3:31)

Alexis (55,327) by Licia from USA I don't know if it's a race thing, but I do know that most of the fans hated Nick on sight for no reason from the moment they got married. We have no idea why their marriage ended, but because you all hated him he just had to be the reason the marriage ended. You all want to constantly blame him for a problem that maybe both of them caused. Mariah is not a saint and she's not always the victim everybody wants her to be. Everybody keeps saying he cheated, but where's your proof ? He worked too much. I agree sometimes he should have turned down gigs, but as a man he should be working. As for the kids, they both work a lot. The only advantage is she has the nanny. The one thing that I will 100% back you all on is he talked entirely too damn much. It's hilarious that some of you are even mad that he was the one who filed for divorce, but had Mariah did it there would be no problem. I refuse to hate this man just because I'm a fan of her music. Until either him or Mariah tells the world what really happened, I definitely will not hate him based on rumors and speculation. (Sunday 19 July 2015; 3:22)

Hate him or love him (55,326) by MimiLamb from Germany From the get go there where lambs/fans that didn't like Nick and vice versa. Not everything is about race, would be a little weird as a Mariah lamb/fan to dislike him because of the color of his skin. (Saturday 18 July 2015; 23:44)

Alexis Morell Carrington Colby Dexter Rowan (55,325) by Travon..SweetSweetFantasy from USA Hello Alexis. I can guarantee you I am black and I even have an issue with Nick Cannon. What he does in his career and how he acts in the public is great to some. To us lambs he is (was) childish, never shutted up about details of their marriage that is not for the world to hear, left Mariah when she was most vulnerable during holidays, never was around the kids as much because he was making a career off of Mariah Carey's name, he openly filed for divorce, publicly changed his tattoo, publicly was seen with various woman during the seperation proccess, and was the only one who spoke about the divorce/seperation. Nick has said it himself he can't shut up. Mariah is a private person and its unfortunate her lambs had to witness him be himself during their entire marriage when Mariah was clearly not herself because of him. So I don't care for that kind of behavior because look what the result is and look how Mariah seems to not care for a career anymore. She is now focused on her relationships and getting that fixed. When she was working all the time, she never focused too much on her relationships. She let her career do the talking. She still can and Vegas is not included when I say career. If she retires for a relationship and family, my feelings towards Nick Cannon will become hatred. (Saturday 18 July 2015; 17:23)
