Re: Rainbow era / wardrobe (56,313) (56,314) by B from USA G, I agree with you this time. I want another era like Daydream, Butterfly, #1's, and TEOM. Those eras were perfection. (Wednesday 26 August 2015; 22:27)

Re: Rainbow era / wardrobe (56,310) (56,313) by Giovanni from USA I agree. She looked great and down to earth. I feel the same hair do and tired gowns make her look older. She needs a stylist asap. I'd love an era where everything is spot on. Music, image and attitude. (Wednesday 26 August 2015; 21:44)

Re: The new Mariah Carey: the standard (56,307) (56,312) by B from USA Baby, I agree that she hasn't gone anywhere. She's been releasing quality music that has fallen on deaf ears unfortunately. I think changing her image could help her reconnect with not only the public but former fans that dismissed her because of rumors, Memoirs, and her marriage to Nick. Memoirs may be a fan favorite but casual listeners only like Obsessed. (Wednesday 26 August 2015; 21:28)

Re: Rainbow era / wardrobe (56,310) (56,311) by B from USA I think Mariah with a fresh face and dressed casually would do wonders for her career and help with her image issues. She can still dress in desinger ensembles like she did on AI, she just needs to retire the gowns. (Wednesday 26 August 2015; 21:18)

Rainbow era / wardrobe (56,310) by Billy from Greece MC was so cool during the Rainbow era, like "I'm throwing a pair of jeans, a random t-shirt and call it a day" and she still looked gorgeous. She had that cutting-edge thing going on then (attitude-wise), very modern, street-smart and with a wink in the eye. This more relaxed Mariah I do miss. It's funny because up until the Glitter era she would sport this jeans based look quite often. After signing to Island though, and beginning with Charmbracelet, she glammed it up to the max (with a break during the E=MC2 era, where she was more casual in her wardrobe). I love me glam (or as she said to B.Scott in 2009 "vamp") Mariah, but I also kind miss that fresh-looking casual MC look. Check her out here. (Wednesday 26 August 2015; 20:05)

Re: Infinity (56,300) (56,309) by B from USA I'm not sure it's Mariah's pronunciation that's the issue. I don't hear a d in the way she says or sings Infinity. Maybe it's you? (Wednesday 26 August 2015; 20:05)

Glitter movie (56,308) by Billy from Greece That's funny. (Wednesday 26 August 2015; 19:41)

The new Mariah Carey: the standard (56,307) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End That phrase's underlying meaning is the word: standard. Mariah is the measuring stick one uses when aiming for the pinnacle of any musical achievement. Ergo, many artists, male and female, will find themselves being compared to her often as part of their marketing. Just being mentioned in the same sentence lends them an aire of instant relevance that might otherwise take years and a lot of hard work to gain on their own. Yet we have music executives claiming she's in need of a comeback. Where exactly does she need to come back from? She's already set the bar so high it's doubtful we'll see anyone match her in our lifetime let alone create their own stadard by which every new artist is held up to. But you want her to raise it? Her biggest flops eclipse entire career's of those who followed her and her peers. All this was to say how funny I find it that not a day goes by where a singer is deemed the new Mariah but Mariah herself is forever doomed to comeback mode even though she's never gone anywhere. In fact, she's never been more prolific or adventurous in her career choices as she is now. Music, acting, touring, directing, writing, producing. There seems to be no limit to what she has planned just in this next year. I feel sorry for other fandoms when I see how spoiled the Lambily really is. We've never had to deal with a Mariah truly out of commission or lacking substance in the projects she releases. She's a freaking workhorse and I just realised how greatful I am to be a lamb at this time in history. God bless you and yours Mimi. You are appreciated. Viva Infinity.

Re: Manny - random memory (56,288) (56,306) by Warren from Trinidad & Tobago Since day 1 Man(ny). She literally stopped me in my tracks when I heard VOL on the radio. (Wednesday 26 August 2015; 17:06)

Article: Hoorah! Mariah Carey to release children's book (56,305) by B from USA All I Want For Christmas Is You is Mariah's signature song. My six year old nephew loves Mariah and he loves puppies so I know what I'm buying him for Christmas. I think I'm also going to buy a copy for my ten month old niece. (Wednesday 26 August 2015; 15:41)

Re: Billboard article: Music industry executive survey (56,301) (56,303) by B from USA She still has the talent and the looks needed to make another comeback. It really is up to her. She's primed for a comeback. Now is the perfect time. (Wednesday 26 August 2015; 15:15)

Re: Article: Miguel reflects on working with Mariah Carey (56,296) (56,302) by darrian liu from taiwan I would kill to collab with Mariah. Seriously. Someday, when I have my own music career, I would truly pass out if I get the chance to do a duet with her. (Wednesday 26 August 2015; 13:06)

Re: Billboard article: Music industry executive survey (56,292) (56,301) by darrian liu from taiwan I know she can make it. She just needs to work harder for it. If Cher can get the biggest hit of her career at 51, why can't Mariah have it at 45? I'm happy that a lot of music execs are rooting for her. (Wednesday 26 August 2015; 13:02)

Re: Infinity (56,272) (56,300) by Lee from UK I'm a gay guy and I can't stand it. From the mispronunciation of the word "infinity" (which will never contain the letter "d") to the messy way the word is sang. As soon as the "oh ah" kicks in, I hit skip. (Wednesday 26 August 2015; 11:35)

Re: Giovanni (56,276) (56,299) by darrian liu from taiwan Most straight guys thought Infinity had that glittery-tinkering instrumentals (I thought about that too when I first heard it lol). I'm straight and I'm not into Infinity but that doesn't mean no straight guys will like Infinity. I prefer that Mariah release something that is kinda more like Stay The Night, etc. Again, sexual preference doesn't dictate musical preference. (Wednesday 26 August 2015; 9:08)

Mariah happy (56,298) by Tijl from Belgium Hello Lambily. I follow MCA incessantly (pun intended lol) and sometimes I really can not believe the content on here. I love this woman more than I can express. My friends and people around me know and think I am bonkers but still. I even launched an expression we now use on funny moments. Whenever something is wrong or just not right, I would say in her very divalicious manner (with handgesture included): "Mimi says no." Mariah has inspired me, been a companion through so many times and whatever she does, right or wrong, I support her. Lipsyncing? Whatever, she has nothing to proove. Less PR? She has kids. This lady is a living legend and anyone who can do better... "Can the real MC please stand up to the mic?" I find her latest work the best and most genuine ever, commercial flops or not. Thank you miss Mariah Carey, MC, Mimi, elusive chanteuse for your gift and sharing it with us. (Wednesday 26 August 2015; 5:26)

Re: Article: Jermaine doesn't think Taylor Swift is the new Mariah (56,287) (56,297) by B from USA I don't care for him personally but I love his work with Mariah. (Wednesday 26 August 2015; 4:33)

Article: Miguel reflects on working with Mariah Carey (56,296) by Joseph Pelle from san jose, california That would be a dream to sing on stage with Mariah. Mimi is my forever crush. (Wednesday 26 August 2015; 4:05)

2013-2015 (56,295) by B from USA In 2013 less than a week after dislocating her shoulder and fracturing a rib Mariah performed My All, #Beautiful, Looking In, and Hero at the MLB Central Park Charity Concert. Mariah is still The Voice and this performance of Looking In proves it. (Wednesday 26 August 2015; 3:26)

Re: Article: Jermaine doesn't think Taylor Swift is the new Mariah (56,287) (56,293) by Licia from USA I couldn't agree more. JD always has her back. He may say things that the fans and Mariah don't want to hear, but I believe he says these things because he cares about her and he knows she can do better. IMO he's spoken nothing but the truth. (Wednesday 26 August 2015; 2:18)

Billboard article: Music industry executive survey (56,292) by Stella Lewis from USA In one of the questions, "If you could engineer the comeback of one artist that has fallen from the charts in the last 10 years, who would it be?" The answer was a tie between Mariah Carey and John Mayer. Which shows that many are willing to root for her and support her. (Wednesday 26 August 2015; 2:13)

Re: Mirage (56,267) (56,291) by 123 from USA Warrior Butterfly, I second your post. She has always mentioned a small intimate concert for her lambs promising to sing songs "only the lambs will know" but it never happens. In the theme of how popular lists are on this board (oh how we love them), here are my picks of rare songs I would like her to sing if such a concert were to occur. Like you, I have also pick songs that she can realistically pull off: All Alone In Love - Fav song on the album. Till The End of Time - The desperation in the lyrics and singing. Miss You Most - I could care less if it's not Christmas, fav song on the album. Should be as big as AIWFCIY if people gave it a chance. Slipping Away - I came across this song in 2006, what a shame I had missed it when I saw it on the b-side of the ABMB single in 96. Melt Away - Can I finally get an actual performance, like, for real? One of my top 5. The Roof - Her best song lyrically. My fav song of hers. Crybaby - Fav Song on the album. Loverboy - I don't care what anyone says, I still love this song to this day and it's underrated. Darn that she didn't get to perform it at MTV's 20th anniversary show that she was scheduled to headline. You Know You Got Me - Another underrated classic MC uptempo from an underrated album. Betcha Gon Know - She has no other song in her catalogue like this rarity. Its A Wrap - I've always loved her shoops and do wops since VOL. Faded - Have the background vocalists help you with all the layering or just change the arrangement or just sing with the backgrounds as backtracks, but I need this live. (Wednesday 26 August 2015; 1:59)

Article: Miguel reflects on working with Mariah Carey (56,290) by B from USA I want another Mariah and Miguel collaboration. A duet album between the two would be amazing. (Wednesday 26 August 2015; 1:46)

Re: Article: Jermaine doesn't think Taylor Swift is the new Mariah (56,287) (56,289) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I agree. JD is always misunderstood and shot down by the lambs. I remember the fans insulting the crap out of him, attacking him on all social media platforms when the roll out of MIAM got messy. He had to be Mariah's shield and take the hit while she completely stopped acknowledging the lamb riot (for those few months) and instead went ahead and tweeted about the most random things, like other artists or her necklace and what not. I think JD is one of those rare people in Mariah's life who actually cared about her personally and understood her musically. Fans keep blaming JD that he made Mariah go down the "rap sing style" but he always said that he keeps trying to make Mariah belt but she does what she wants. I hope Mariah is still in good terms with him. Abandoning him would be sad. They have known each other for over 2 decades now. JD and Mariah always had great songs. I can't blame the messy roll out of MIAM on JD. (Wednesday 26 August 2015; 1:44)

Re: Manny - random memory (56,280) (56,288) by Manny from U.S. How cool. You're also a fan since day one. I listened to the first Christmas album religiously. One of the memories I have I have of that era is the MTV contest they had where Bill Bellamy and Mariah called the winner. The winner met Mariah and saw her rehearse. I thought I would win for sure.
