Message board debacle (56,526) by QueenLambassador from Portugal Why is Mariah's looks, weight and fashion such a hot topic on this board all the time? What are you guys, the fashion police? Biggest [censored] producers or something? Such a turn off. (Tuesday 8 September 2015; 13:00)

Re: Mariah lately (56,501) (56,525) by Will from England There's been an increase in positive Mariah press lately, due to her being out in public with her kids or going on dates. The DM readers have been more positive in their comments lately, which is a rarity considering the things they've written about Mariah in the past. (Tuesday 8 September 2015; 12:59)

Baby (56,524) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Yeah, Mariah Carey is one of the subjects we take in school. It is a vital part of our curriculum. People should know the awesomeness that is Mariah. It's a course we have to pass if we don't want Mimi's ear-piercing whistle to be played in loop until our windows break. Haha. But seriously no, it's just Pinoys literally worship their divas. Filipinos are very loyal fans. Once they find and artist to idolize, he/she/they has/have gained a lifelong fan who's ready to defend him/her/them against detractors to death.

Re: Queen of shade (56,521) (56,523) by Musti from UK Licia I agree. To be honest I don't think Beyonce looks that bad in the photo. Perhaps Mariah only wanted to post a pic of them together that has already been in the media and not a private one. What I thought was bizarre about Mariah sharing that pic is that she is sitting on Nick's lap in it. It's slightly cropped but you can still see his face. I guess she is truly over him (Tuesday 8 September 2015; 9:44)

The Emancipation Of Mimi (56,522) by Giovanni from USA Is one of the best albums of all time. I was listening to it today and it still sounds as new as it did when it first came out. Mariah really out did herself with this record. Everyone thought she was done but she showed them she wasn't. I would love for that to happen again. I know she's has given us 25 years of music. But I feel even with all her success and records she's still not finished. I would never want her to stop making music. She's the queen of music and still the best talent in the music industry today. Even if there are singers who can really blow on stage, it doesn't matter. They can't make an album like Mariah can. So Mariah, if there's a chance you're reading this, I'd like to say thank you for sharing your talent with the world. I hope you continue making great music. Get inspired, train your voice, write some amazing lyrics and show again why you're the best selling, hardest working woman in the business. (Tuesday 8 September 2015; 8:28)

Re: Queen of shade (56,515) (56,521) by Licia from USA Deedre I agree. I think she and Beyonce are still on good terms and there wasn't anything shady about Mariah wishing her a happy birthday. Normally when Mariah is mad at someone she doesn't acknowledge them period. I also didn't see anything wrong with the pic she posted. It wasn't a bad shot. That actually was the last time I saw Mariah and her in a pic together. Maybe that's why Mariah posted it. (Tuesday 8 September 2015; 8:24)

Re: "Skinny sells" (56,507) (56,520) by Malcolm from Asia The problem is, Mariah Carey is known for her perfect sexy body. Adele and Meghan Trainor started their respective careers with that body so the public accepts them. But for MC's case, she is one of the sexiest singers in the biz and all of the sudden, she gains weight and many people started to have disinterest in her music and this is the reality. Like what Katy said, the industry is shallow. Personally, I don't care if Mariah gains weight or not, the most important thing is her voice and her music. But if I will think as what general public and the industry wants, she must slim down and bring back her hot body for her to gain more popularity, hit singles and albums. Do you think Beyonce or Rihanna will have that popularity and followers if they are having more weight? I don't think so. (Tuesday 8 September 2015; 6:44)

Re: "Skinny sells" (56,518) (56,519) by Luke from United Kingdom I'm not saying it doesn't help. However, that alone won't make her popular. It's also obvious she gets a lot more confident when she's slimmer, both musically and on stage. The music industry is harsh against anyone who's a bit bigger, and I'm sure she knows that. But what would be the point working tirelessly to get a fab body right now when she's not going to be on stage promoting anything? People on here should just learn to be happy for her. I could be wrong but it wouldn't seem right to bring out an album now so I'd rather her eat fancy food, be romanced and get inspired and then bring a killer album after Christmas at some point. Then start getting into shape. She said in an interview that she wants to lose it anyway so it's not like she's not aware of it lol. (Tuesday 8 September 2015; 0:32)

Re: "Skinny sells" (56,507) (56,518) by Kate from UK Skinny does sell because nobody want to see a giant Mariah (or anyone) straddle a motorcycle. Of course skinny isn't going to give her huge hits but I think Meghan Trainor and Adele are unfair comparisons because they have their youth on their side; something we all know is most valuable in hollywood - regardless of size.

Re: Little Lambs wishing MCPH happy 13th anniversary (56,516) (56,517) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Thanks for the smile, Baby. That's adorable. (Monday 7 September 2015; 21:54)

Little Lambs wishing MCPH happy 13th anniversary (56,516) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End On a much lighter note. Do Philippino schools actually have Mariah Carey in their official syllabus or something? These things make me smile. (Monday 7 September 2015; 21:38)

Re: Queen of shade (56,474) (56,515) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada I have to be honest, I think there is way too much being read into the photo Mariah posted on her facebook wishing Beyonce happy birthday. Just because there is speculation that Bey stole the concept behind MIAMTEC, doesn't make it fact. I didn't feel anything malicious behind Mariah's message, and I thought they both looked beautiful. (Monday 7 September 2015; 21:38)

Re: Mariah's theme (56,457) (56,514) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Your post comes off as a desperate attempt to distract from the indisputable points I made about strange men, having nothing but negative things to say about one of the most beautiful women alive and how she should change her body to their specific, yet contradictory, liking. As far as we know, you are (hopefully) also complete strangers to her which makes it creepy to be honest. People with possible personality disorders who obsess over the cutting and slicing of a female's body who doesn't even know you exist? I'd be scared to label you and your lot. How you turned that into gay bashing I will thankfully never know. But whatever keeps you up at night is fine by me. (Monday 7 September 2015; 21:24)

Re: The body: no filter (56,504) (56,512) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End You're a lousy liar making such statements without even taking the time to fabricate false proof. FYI, using Instagram filters on occasion is not photoshopping. No woman in their right mind would post unflattering pictures of themselves of their own volition. We pick and chose, delete the ones we don't like and keep the good ones. A filter is just a fun feature on most modern devises. You obviously haven't ever been introduced to one going by what you let roam your mind and then post for all our displeasure. But make no mistake Andrew, you are a valuable im-poster because as long as there are lurkers and unnamed members liking your posts in kegion and ignoring the obvious Lamb posts, your very presence proves how deep seated the vendetta against Mariah still is. But thanks to you and your email buddies Team Mariah has never been more hip to the scheme. Keep up the good work. (Monday 7 September 2015; 20:55)

Re: Janet's Unbreakable (56,506) (56,511) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada It's awesome. I feel discussion of what artists are doing musically is not an attack on Mariah. There is room for all flavors and colors of the rainbow, and it shouldn't have to be viewed in fear as threat or a competition. There's no need to attack under the guise of supporting Mariah. (Monday 7 September 2015; 20:53)

Re: Really? (56,508) (56,510) by Bill from the UK Mariah isn't even overweight, so these spiteful comments are redundant. She looked amazing at the Hollywood Walk of Fame event. She's had two children and isn't 23 anymore. All I'm concerned with is Mariah finding happiness and continuing to share her talent with us. (Monday 7 September 2015; 17:07)

Infinity (56,509) by run from Thailand Infinity is my most favourite track. I always play and sing along with my guitar. (Monday 7 September 2015; 16:43)

Re: Really? (56,503) (56,508) by Kate from UK I totally agree with you, it is shallow. I don't care what Mariah does with her body but I have accepted that the entertainment industry is shallow. The industry is already ageist so being slimmer would obviously help her regain her popularity. I know that shouldn't be the case but oh well. (Monday 7 September 2015; 15:24)

"Skinny sells" (56,507) by Luke from United Kingdom I'm sorry but this is ridiculous haha. A hot body, perfect boobs, tight ass and toned muscles isn't going to put her at the top of the charts. Look at artists like Meghan Trainor or Adele. Neither of them are super slim or what is considered "the ideal body". They are just a healthy weight and body size and they own it. If the music is good and connects with people, it will sell. Also, she's not even big. She actually just looks healthy to me. You know, someone who is enjoying their life. She looks amazing when she's not wearing relaxing clothes, I highly doubt a lot of you look like sensational models when you're in comfortable attire. When she was in France she looked great. We all want her to do well but I really don't understand why people go on about her weight like she can hop into a time machine. She's a busy woman and maybe losing weight isn't at the top of her list at the minute, she had a pretty shit year last year so let her enjoy her self for a while. I doubt she's going to release an album this year to promote, so if I was her I'd pig out as much as I could before I did release one. (Monday 7 September 2015; 14:51)

Janet's Unbreakable (56,506) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines I know this is a Mariah board but can we just appreciate the amazingness that is Janet's new song Unbreakable? That Yours-ish intro, that breezy sample, dem dreamy harmonies, dem angelic soaring vocals, that '90s vibe? I mean really, really good. This and No Sleeep are giving me The Velvet Rope vibes which is always a good thing, as that album to me is like Janet's own version of Butterfly. If these 2 tracks are any indication of what's coming in her new album, Jan might just have her version of MIAMTEC. So who cares if her new single fell off iTunes after a day? It's a sweet love letter to her fans and still crushes any other song on the radio today in terms of quality. I'm just proud legacy artists like her and Mimi are still doing their own things to mostly great results. (Monday 7 September 2015; 14:36)

Re: Mariah Carey The Beacon Shows (56,500) (56,505) by Philipp from Switzerland Oh I thought the dates were on her website, but those are the dates from 2014. I almost booked my flights according to the old dates, good thing you made me look again. (Monday 7 September 2015; 11:16)

The body (56,504) by Andrew from UK Some righteous indignation about comments concerning Mariah's weight may well be justified if it weren't for the fact that she airbrushes her photos to within an inch of their life which then makes Entertainment News in the form of mockery. She clearly isn't happy to be "whatever" size if she is doing this. It is also a source of mockery to wear skimpy revealing outfits to try to feel sexy if many people would say that you no longer are. I suppose the adage is that you have the right to admiration only if you've out in the work. In the same vein that many lambs and fans alike want music to be proud of and show off to other people again, they quite rightly want an image with which they can do the same, and shouldn't really be castigated for it. This isn't a love-in, it's fans paying an artist for entertainment etc. And if Mariah wants to be followed by a lot more people than she is right now, she does need to play the game and put the work in. Or cover up more and stop airbrushing. (Monday 7 September 2015; 10:29)

Really? (56,503) by MimiLamb from Germany Totally disgusted how some are going on and on about Mariah's weight. Really? Are we going there again, let the woman be how she wants to be, last time I checked she's a singer and not a size 0 model. If she loses weight that means she's slaying? Or if she loses weight she will be on top of the game again? I didn't know she had to be thin for that. Really getting tired of this, how shallow. (Monday 7 September 2015; 8:18)

Weight gain (56,502) by Stella Lewis from USA Perhaps she's taking some medication that has weight gain as one of its side effects. We can only speculate, but it seems like we don't know the whole story. (Monday 7 September 2015; 7:26)

Re: Mariah lately (56,499) (56,501) by Travon..SweetSweetFantasy from USA Mariah Carey is number 73 on UK iTunes. She was 109 five hours ago. Can someone explain the uptick in sales? I don't understand and it's confusing. I am happy #1 To Infinity is still doing well. It was 182 in Japan earlier today. (Monday 7 September 2015; 2:52)
