2015 (56,467) by B from USA Mariah's twenty-fifth year in the industry has been a success. Her Las Vegas residency #1 To Infinity was such a critical and commercial success The Colosseum at Caesars Palace decided to extend her residency. She received her star on The Hollywood Walk of Fame and she's appearing on Empire this fall. Infinity, hate it or love it, received positive reviews from music critics.

Re: Dr. Scott Kessler (56,463) (56,466) by B from USA Yes, she did. (Friday 4 September 2015; 17:44)

Mariah wished Beyoncé a happy birthday (56,465) by Philipp from Switzerland So Mariah just wished Beyoncé a happy Birthday on Facebook and on Instagram. I look at this as proof, that Mariah wasn't talking about Beyoncé when she said that someone stole her idea. I never believed that. I mean, if she would be mad at Beyoncé, why wish her a happy birthday in public? (Friday 4 September 2015; 17:19)

Re: One Sweet Day (Acapella) (56,460) (56,464) by MIAM from United Kingdom Go on YouTube, search Mariah One Sweet Day acapella, Easy. (Friday 4 September 2015; 17:17)

Re: Dr. Scott Kessler (56,462) (56,463) by Luke from United Kingdom Didn't Julie sue him when it happened? Mistakes happen I guess but if you think about it, he would know better than most about those type of issues. He could tell Mariah he's been there and there are very real risks with the surgery. Personally, I hope she doesn't do it. Her voice seems to go through phases where she can belt well one minute and whistle amazing the next. She's mentioned that in interviews, plus with 25 years practice she knows her way around dem chords. (Friday 4 September 2015; 17:12)

Dr. Scott Kessler (56,462) by B from USA Mariah sees Dr. Scott Kessler. Kessler is the specialist who ruined Ms. Andrews's voice (vocal cords). I'm against Mariah having the surgery. She's still The Voice. When rested and rehearsed Mariah can still slay vocally. Mariah has children, she can't go days without speaking before a performance like she used to. (Friday 4 September 2015; 16:53)

Vocal surgery (56,461) by Musti from UK I would highly advise against vocal surgery. It's a big risk, as a result of which one could lose their voice entirely. Back in the 90s, Julie Andrews had it so that she could restore her ailing voice but instead lost her singing voice almost completely. More recently, French soprano Natalie Dessay had some of her nodules removed so that she can sing Verdi and bel canto roles with ease. Her voice wasn't destroyed and she went on to perform the roles successfully, but the surgery didn't exactly have the desired effect on her voice. Mariah herself said it's her nodules that give her access to the whistle register. Having them removed might not only remove the whistle register but also permanently damage the rest of her voice and range. (Friday 4 September 2015; 16:32)

One Sweet Day (Acapella) (56,460) by Rón from United Kingdom Hi, I remember someone posting an alternative version of One Sweet Day on here with an acapella bit at the start. Does anyone know where I can find it? (Friday 4 September 2015; 16:26)

Re: Mariah's theme (56,452) (56,459) by darrian liu from taiwan I apologize if I said something wrong. I thought Mariah is beautiful with or without boobs. But I heard my mom's friends talking about bigger boobs, and I heard big boobs could cause some back pain because it's heavier. I don't really know though since I don't have boobs. (Friday 4 September 2015; 11:54)

Re: Two big tig ol' bitties (56,449) (56,458) by darrian liu from taiwan I agree with you until you got to discuss the vocal surgery. Saying that it doesn't have any impact to her is 100% untrue. I would say it could do miracles to her voice. Her belting will become much more elastic and brighter and easier to access, and her lows would probably be better as nodules provide a constant opening at the vocal cords, preventing them from totally closing. I'm more concerned about her whistles tho. (Friday 4 September 2015; 11:50)

Re: Mariah's theme (56,452) (56,457) by Pablo from Spain This post came off as homophobic. Sorry, but I have to speak up and say something. No, Mariah nor no woman should be body shamed, but you also shouldn't insult people by insinuating that they are gay because being gay is fabulous and not an insult. As a gay male, I'd prefer Mariah keep them covered up, but I respect her decision to dress however she wants to dress. She is a beautiful woman, and more importantly, she is an incredibly gifted and talented singer and song writer. (Friday 4 September 2015; 10:34)

Baby and boobs (56,456) by Lee TS from USA I don't know if I totally read your post wrong but it came off as homophobic to me. We were only discussing her breasts because of the article that was posted albeit it being tabloid in nature. I don't think anyone was shaming her for it. It's her body and she can do whatever she wants to make herself feel better. Let's say she does get some surgery, are we not allowed to talk about it? I rather her not get anything done if it's not necessary, I wouldn't want a Joan Rivers moment. (Friday 4 September 2015; 8:33)

Re: Wow-performance (56,450) (56,455) by Licia from USA I loved that performance. She did so great and she looked like she enjoyed herself. I agree about getting this Mariah back. I love it when she just gets on stage with no worries, has fun, and just sings her heart out. (Friday 4 September 2015; 6:25)

The Voice pH (56,454) by Dana from Philippines A girl named Elha sang Mariah's Emotions and eventually won The Voice pH Kids. (Friday 4 September 2015; 3:09)

Article: Mariah Carey wants a breast "reduction" (56,453) by DreamLove from USA I don't believe this article is true but I personally loved her when her boobs were smaller. I couldn t understand why she would feel the need to have a boob job. Now that she has gotten older they make her look heavier than she really is. I don't know if it's like this when someone sees her in real life but in pictures she looks top heavy due to her boobs. (Friday 4 September 2015; 2:19)

Mariah's theme (56,452) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End The Boobologists on this board crack me up with their useless theories formed without any firsthand, or secondhand knowledge for that matter. When is the last time any of you had the pleasure of handling a woman's breasts without the authorities being alerted? Stick to what you know (which is nothing unless you're talking about dicks) when expounding on Mariah's body over which you have no jurisdiction by the way. The sexism some of you male posters engage in is pretty sickening. It's beyond Mariah bashing at this point. The bodyshaming needs to stop. I don't come here to have my femininity insulted by proxy as you attack everything about Mariah Carey that was God given. Mariah is clearly proud to be a woman and always has been. She is beautiful in all her feminine form. When you nitpick and even go so far as lie and fabricate about her body it shows signs of pathology. This board is not the ideal place to deal with whatever ails you since you're obviously not Lambs. I would tell you to listen to Hero, AYNAF, MIH, VOL, CTTA, I Wish You Well, Infinity etc but I'm pretty sure that'd be like throwing holy water on demons and might do more harm than good. May God bless you all and deliver you from your tormentors. (Thursday 3 September 2015; 23:46)

Wow-performance (56,450) by Mara from United States Wow, someone posted this on Twitter and if it was anyone in here I say thank you. I remember this concert and waiting for Mariah's performance to air. Seeing it again now I really appreciate it even more. Mariah killed this performance. She was not stiff or afraid to move and she ran across the stage with so much energy. She was fierce. I miss this Mariah. I love the glitz and glamour especially for some of the big ballads, but we need this Mariah back on stage every now and then too. (Thursday 3 September 2015; 23:25)

Two big tig ol' bitties (56,449) by Andrew from UK Absolutely, Mariah, get those breasts reduced. "Her breasts have been ignoring each other since 1999," my friend once said to me. She went way too big and then denied ever having done it. In 1999 she took them out permanently and never put them away again. It may help people take her more seriously. Also, it may be age-ist but she's not getting any younger: time to cover up a bit. But vocal surgery is pointless. "Removing nodules" is a fall-back response to questions about her vocal degradation. I think most people know it won't do squat. She needs to record songs she can actually sing live and lower the key/rearrange the old ones. That's all. (Thursday 3 September 2015; 22:22)

Re: Article: Mariah cuddles her daughter as she takes her swimming (56,446) (56,448) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha well to be fair Monroe was also there. Only one photo is included on the article here but if I am not mistaken the original article had this as the first picture. (Thursday 3 September 2015; 21:11)

Re: Memoirs (56,443) (56,447) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada That's beautiful, Licia. Sounds like CB was for you what the Butterfly album is for me. It is so lovely that music can have such a profound impact like that. (Thursday 3 September 2015; 21:04)

Article: Mariah cuddles her daughter as she takes her swimming (56,446) by MIAM from United Kingdom It says she's taking a swim with her daughter but has anyone else noticed that it's actually Moroccan in the picture, not Monroe? (Thursday 3 September 2015; 19:46)

Nodules surgery (56,445) by Giovanni from USA I say yes to the surgery if Mariah ever decided to have it. At this point, I think it's a chance worth taking. I mean I know it's easy for us to say yes because it's not our voice. But I just think she should do it if she had nothing more she could do for her voice. She sounds better now than last year though. (Thursday 3 September 2015; 13:47)

Re: Breast reduction (56,440) (56,444) by Licia from USA That part about her looking at the ex wives is what made me not even pay that article any attention. I mean I get that she's insecure sometimes (we all can be), but I don't believe that she'd be willing to go through all this to mold herself into an image of people she thinks he wants her to look like. I don't believe it. (Thursday 3 September 2015; 13:23)

Re: Memoirs (56,439) (56,443) by Licia from USA Deedre, when CB came out I was going through some things and CB helped me. Since the beginning with Mariah's first album I would always hear fans say how this album or this song helped to pull them out of a bad situation and I never had that feeling until CB. I finally had an album that I felt was recorded especially for me. Also the CB tour was the first time I got to see her live so that makes CB extra special to me as well. CB really was My Saving Grace (pun intended lol). (Thursday 3 September 2015; 12:59)

Re: Breast reduction (56,440) (56,442) by darrian liu from taiwan Me too. From what I heard you can get back pain from boobs that are too big. But then knowing how she flaunts dem boobies all the time, I don't really think she would do it. Yes to the vocal nodules removal though. If she does the vocal surgery, she would need to learn the whistling technique though. Whistling involves a certain muscular coordination that makes the vocal cords form a really small hole. She would need to rehabilitate her vocals and train her belts too. It's a long way but it could be the only chance she truly recaptures the vocal prowess of her youth.
