Other faves besides MC (55,386) by darrian liu from taiwan MC will always be my #1, that's for sure. But I also like Whitney, Beyoncé, Bon Jovi, Janis Joplin, Tori Kelly, Brian McKnight, Pentatonix, Ariana Grande (she was better during Yours Truly era imo), Queen, The Beatles, Bastille, Coldplay, Imagine Dragons, Fall Out Boy, Agnez Mo (her music was better before she went international, her Indonesian songs were really good and she got that insane vocal range), and a lot more lol. I used to like Nicki Minaj before she released Pink Friday and went pop. Her mixtapes were dope but she wasted her rapping skills on pop songs. I liked her latest album though (besides a few tracks like Anaconda). (Tuesday 21 July 2015; 15:41)

Other faves (55,385) by Pablo from Spain Mariah is hands down my fave. The others in the quartet de awesomeness for me are Brand New, Lady Gaga and The Killers/Brandon Flowers. I also like Lifehouse, Enrique Iglesias, Robbie Williams, Shania Twain, Green Day, Blink 182, Matchbox Twenty, No Doubt (but not Gwen's solo stuff at all strangely enough), Wynonna/The Judds, The Smiths, Queen, Nelly Furtado, Alex Ubago, Caedmon's Call, Dashboard Confessional. So it's odd that Mariah is my absolute fave as I'm mostly a rock, punk and emo kind of boy. I do like some Janet and some Whitney, but neither are my faves. (I do like "No Sleeep".) I can't stand Beyonce or Katy Perry, but if they're fans of Mariah, at least they have some good taste. I still would love a duet between Mariah and Gaga, or Mariah and Brandon Flowers (The Killers are from Vegas), or Mariah and Enrique. I just started listening to Miguel's stuff outside of #Beautiful and am enjoying his new album. (Tuesday 21 July 2015; 11:51)

LC (55,384) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I agree with your post, however I do think the "throwback" thing was blown a little out of proportions. I mean lambs were outraged by the articles with headlines "Katy shades Mariah". But Katy could just have meant that Mariah's music kind of defined the 90s when each year she was on top of the charts and her biggest songs are from the 90s (although that's not my opinion since I do love Mariah's recent music a lot). A lot of Mariah lambs even on this board probably prefer the 90s music because they also keep asking for that. I don't know but that comment never really bothered me or gave me shade vibes. I was also referring to the "Birthday" song when I said she mentioned she has been inspired by Mariah. I didn't know she said the John Mayer duet was also a MC inspiration so thanks for that info. I like knowing about songs which were Mariah inspired. She did call herself a lamb and said "lambiliy for life" and not just a fan so since that comment came straight from her instagram and no magazine interview where things are sometimes twisted, I would like to believe that haha. I love it when big stars from the current scene gush over Mariah. Makes me proud. Anyways thanks for your post. I appreciate the way you delivered your message. Politeness is quite rare on this board. (Tuesday 21 July 2015; 11:31)

Giovanni (55,383) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I was never a Katy fan but I can't lie and deny that she is not a big star of the current music scene. She attracts the teenagers who are the major music consumers. So no I didn't do a sudden turn from my opinion and start loving her. I have always maintained that I detected no shade coming from Katy even when this board was going nuts on calling her out for the song "This is how we do". So I don't know where you saw me hating on her because of that too. I even mentioned the point about her saying she has been inspired by Mariah even before in my posts. My opinion remains the same, I just appreciate her taking the time out of her busy schedule to see Mariah's gig especially since she doesn't talk about her much but others who do didn't bother coming yet. When they do come, I will appreciate them too. And no, I don't care for a Mariah-Katy duet, if I did, I would have mentioned it. My posts are pretty straight forward, no one needs to waste their time reading between the lines for my posts, so if I feel like I want something, I would mention it clearly, no implications here.

American Idol contestants (55,381) by Billy from Greece I'm watching some videos from the Mariah season of AI and, apart from Burnell Taylor who I've always loved since the beginning, I've rediscovered Amber Holcomb. She has a phenomenal voice, incredible flexibility and ease in stretching out her notes, and a great range. There's a great performance of the both of them singing "Diamonds" and it shows how good they really are. Great singers. (Tuesday 21 July 2015; 10:53)

Katy (55,380) by Lee TS from USA I don't think she was ever really intentionally shady towards M. The only thing was probably her calling M fabulous for a throwback, and it seem more like word vomit or her thinking she was being cute. Her Mariah Careyoke thing always seem like a homage to me, and the drag queen who played M was spot on. It's great to see Katy taking her time out to see M in concert, she seem to always support fellow artists with her concert goings. The person I really want to see go support M is Ariana, it would make headlines and fans would be astonished. We don't really know for sure how M feels about her. And even though lambs give her flak about it, Ariana is a lamb. I mean, can you blame the girl for loving Mariah Carey? I still have yet heard her utter anything but praises for Mariah. Still, she will never dethrone M but I would probably take more offense if they call Miley or Selena the next Mariah. Three of the Fifth Harmony girls went to see M and apparently their fans are upset because they cancelled one of their shows to attend. Let's hope more star power will go support Mariah. Maybe a Julia Roberts or a Diana Ross. (Tuesday 21 July 2015; 8:29)

Steve Bartels interview (55,379) by 123 from USA His response was interesting regarding Me I am Mariah. "In 2005, we had an amazing win together with The Emancipation Of Mimi. But when she made the decision, as we did together, to move to Epic, I understood it was something she needed to do. Mariah and L.A. have a great relationship, so I think reuniting with Reid was what she was looking for at that point in time. Whenever we see each other, it's very warm. We have a great history together." This is a very interesting response as to why it failed. I remember Mariah's team leaking to the press that she would be moving back to Sony soon after Memoirs came out and had a luke warm response. I think she blamed the label so she decided to go back to Sony and to someone who would put some money machine behind her. Mariah announced prematurely that she was jumping ship, the label felt a certain way about it and decided not to make her a priority anymore. You notice with each release after E=MC2 there was less and less promo from both the label and Mariah. It gives the impression that she spit out these records to get out of the deal. He says everything is warm between him and Mariah yet her Def Jam releases are not out on display with all her Columbia releases at the gift shop in Vegas. I would love an interviewer to ask her about this. (Tuesday 21 July 2015; 7:56)

Mimi L. And Katy Perry shade (55,376) by LC from USA Mimi L., I don't think that the shade to which people refer is from her song reference. In fact, I think it's a nice gesture to name drop Mariah in her song. People are referring to this video in which Katy is being interviewed in Australia, and the the interviewer asks her who she thinks is the biggest female star in the world. She then says Beyoncé, but the interviewers bring up that a twitter user said Mariah Carey was the biggest female star in the world, which they doubt, and to which Katy responds "Mariah is fabulous for a throwback. Fabulous." She then goes on to say how she loves Fantasy, Honey, and One Sweet Day and how she sang Mariah's music growing up. However, the "throwback" thing was pretty uncalled for, in my opinion, as we know that the implications of that are that Mariah is only good for the past and is not relevant in the present. And that's what people see as shade. I don't blame them for it. But, she has also said Mariah was an influence of hers, and credited her with inspiring songs on her recent album. Obviously "This is How We Do" references her, but she says "Birthday" was inspired by Mariah's 90s music, and her duet with John Mayer was inspired by Mariah's laugh at the end of "Emotions". So, mixed signals, but I believe that at the end of the day, Katy respects Mariah and is a fan. I mean, she did call herself a part of the "lambily for life". (Tuesday 21 July 2015; 4:45)

Favourite artists besides Mariah (55,375) by Matty from Vancouver Canada Great question, I'd love to hear about other artists Lambs love. Other artist I love aside from Mariah are: 1. Lana Del Ray 2. Miguel 3. Disclosure 4. Janet Jackson 5. Fifth Harmony 6. Robyn 7. She & Him 8. Kelly Rowland (Tuesday 21 July 2015; 3:29)

Warrior Butterfly / Thank God I found you (55,374) by Tevin from USA I think sometimes Mariah forgets TGIFY was a number one. Lol. It's a good song though. (Tuesday 21 July 2015; 2:54)

Natalia (55,372) by Giovanni from USA It's my personal opinion. And I know there are a lot of other people who agree. Katy's voice is not "beautiful" or "powerful" lol. Her music is [censored] with those [censored] lyrics. The only singers of today who can really sing and sound powerful in my opinion are Adele and Beyonce. Mariah too of course. (Tuesday 21 July 2015; 0:08)

Favorite artists besides Mariah (55,371) by Licia from USA Since I love music my list is rather long. I'll try to shorten my list to a few hundred. Lol I love Toni Braxton, Babyface, Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, Janet Jackson, Michael Jackson, Prince, Patti Labell, Aretha Franklin, Kelly Clarkson, Avant, Aaliyah, Adel, Lady Gaga, Tamia, R. Kelly, and so many more I can't think of. I haven't even named my favorite groups. Lol. (Tuesday 21 July 2015; 0:02)

Lol (55,370) by Licia from USA I've been very vocal about Nick's wrongs as well. You are just choosing to focus on this one time I called her out. Let me go ahead and end this so you can stop having a fit. Saint Mariah is always good. Nick bad. Moving on. Lol. (Monday 20 July 2015; 23:54)

If the Chrissy Lou's fits, then step in them (55,369) by Mirage_Nunez from America If wrong is wrong then how come Nick's wrongs are glossed over, but Mariah's wrongs leads to resentful post that often end with a (in reference to her and the fans that have her back). By all means voice your opinion when Mariah is wrong and be critical constructively, but also be fair and have her back when she's right. I'm just saying it's very "team-Nick" to give him all types of benefits of a doubt "we don't know for a fact that he cheated or not". Okay and we also don't know if Mariah asked him if he wanted to keep the kids while she was in Australia and he said "I can't I'm booked." That's my point. (Monday 20 July 2015; 23:42)

Ardis re: other artists (55,368) by Anthony Basco from Cardiff, Wales Nice topic. I too love Lana Del Rey. She's like my favourite current artist (when I say this I mean other than MC because she's my favourite artist ever, period). Her melodies, lyrics and vocals are so haunting, I think she has incredible talent and is doing something so different to everything else out there. Also listened to MC singing TGIFY at Las Vegas and it was another wow moment for me. Just so thrilling and relaxing, I felt like I was in an upmarket New York jazz club. Simply divine. (Monday 20 July 2015; 23:12)

Rampant haters (55,367) by Natalia from Italy I feel that I need to speak on the statement that was made that Katy Perry "can't sing worth a damn". That is so false. She actaully has a very good voice. Just because someone does not have the same impressive vocal range that Mariah has, does not mean that everyone else who is not up to the same standard can not sing. That is just insane to believe that way. This video of Katy singing live is beautiful, her voice is powerful, crisp and clean. All I am saying is, there is no need for the hate. Especially if that person is showing love to Mariah. (Monday 20 July 2015; 23:04)

SC and LC (55,366) by Bill from the UK SC, she's mixed Someday up with the song "I Ain't 2 Proud 2 Beg" by TLC. They go great together. LC, thank you for sharing that TGIFY performance, it was incredible. (Monday 20 July 2015; 22:08)

Mariah (55,365) by Giovanni from USA Mariah looks great in that picture with the chick who can't sing. Love the hair and dress. She looks a little thinner. But then again it could just be because she's in black or because of the camera angle. Either way she looks stunning. (Monday 20 July 2015; 21:40)

Mimi L. (55,364) by Giovanni from USA Funny, I seem to recall you disliking Katy which is okay because I don't. Girlfriend can't sing worth a damn. But now that Katy went to one of Mariah's shows you're all praising her. I suppose you'd like them to record together as well, lol. (Monday 20 July 2015; 21:35)

Nick (55,363) by B from USA Nick used Mariah. He's still using Mariah to promote WildNOut. The latest promo features a rapper saying Mariah left him because she took him for a joke. (Monday 20 July 2015; 21:32)

Katy (55,361) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I am happy to see Katy taking out time to watch Mariah's show. I think the whole "shade" was just made up as I did not find anything wrong in the Mariah reference in her song. We all suck at Mariah karaokes. She has been a fan and she did say some of her songs were inspired by Mariah's work. Anyways, what surprises me more is that Katy went but people who always claim that Mariah is the reason they started singing couldn't get the time to catch one of her shows yet. I'm looking at you Beyonce and Rihanna. Plus I hope MC and Britney goes to each others' shows. Also I think it's so cute that Katy considers herself to be a lamb and not just a "fan" since she labelled her picture with the #1 To Infinity poster with the caption "lambily for life". That's quite nice coming from someone who is a big name in the current music scene. (Monday 20 July 2015; 19:54)

Mariah in Cannes (55,360) by Tijl from Belgium This is so exciting. A former colleague of mine works as an assistant manager for a very profilic luxury brand in Cannes. A few weeks ago, when Mariah was cruising along the Cote d'Azur, she walked into the store where my friend works. She was in the company of two men, which one of them being Christopher Buckle (according to my friends description ). My friend told Mariah was very polite and very sweet with the softest and warmest voice imagineable. She wore a long Cavalli dress and very high heels. She picked out some items for her new beau. She was very apologetic towards my friend for giving her so much to do. Sweet . One of the men paid and they left very quietly. (Monday 20 July 2015; 19:46)

Your other favorite artists? (55,359) by Ardis Logic from Earth We all love Mariah here... at least I hope so. I was just curious to know, besides Mariah, what other artists are you all into? I am not really into any of the modern music out there, but my guilty pleasure is listening to Lana Del Rey. I like her songs Video Games, Blue Jeans, Burning Desire and others. She just has this dark, sexy vibe about her that I can relate with and I find very intriguing. What about you? (Monday 20 July 2015; 19:12)

Mariah's third vocal prime (55,357) by LC from USA Wow. All I can say is wow. I have not been this happy to be a Mariah fan in so long. After all the hoopla and criticism she's faced in the past few years over her supposed decline, Mariah has really used this Vegas residency to destroy our doubts and prove that she is still, without a doubt, the greatest singer in the world. From what I've heard, last night's show was her greatest vocal night since the Charmbracelet tour. She has her fluidity back in her belting, as well the stamina and ease she had 12 years ago, and her resonance is out of this world. Not to mention that on certain performances, she was able to match her studio vocals, and sound almost the same. I encourage all of you to visit this channel to listen to her. The audio captured is very high quality and Mariah's voice is indescribable. Some highlights are Vision Of Love, My All, One Sweet Day, and of course, this video of Thank God I Found You. She even sang a little bit of Bliss and Rainbow (Interlude) in this one. This video just proves that you can never doubt Mariah Carey. When she's down, she'll come back swinging harder than ever. Congratulations, Mariah. You have truly redeemed yourself as the greatest vocalist if all time. (Monday 20 July 2015; 18:26)
