Morgan, Mariah's entourage, Nick part 3 (54,191) by Tiina from Finland The things that were said about Nick and the rest of the folks surrounding Mariah are not as far-fetched as the other allegations. First of all, Nick. Yeah, they were in love and have kids together but he used her. Even Mariah feels that way since she wrote Thirsty. No matter what she might say, that song is about Nick. I was recently watching an E. special on Mariah from like 2005 and at one point she was saying how lucky she was to have such "real friends" around her and then went on to name names. I sadly realized that they all worked for her and even though that was 10 years ago, some of those same people still work for her. It doesn't matter what they do, like sing background for her, do her PR, run around as minions distributing splashes or do her styling, makeup and hair, they still work for her at the end of the day. That's not healthy to have only people around you that you pay. I'm not saying that some of these friendships aren't real but they still want their cheques. They're never going to say anything that could jeopardize their jobs for them, even if that means sucking up to her or staying silent. Like, sometimes I wonder what her background singers really think about her lipping. How do they discuss it, like how does Mariah say that this is the part where the prerecorded track begins and this is where it ends and here's where I sing. I'd imagine that'd be humiliating in front of Trey or Mary-Ann. I bet it's one of those things that is off-limits. (Thursday 4 June 2015; 16:49)

Re: Gossip Cop Mariah Carey edition (54,190) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands First of all, it's impossible to post "all" news stories about Mariah. The story about Morgan was on literally hundreds of websites. Secondly, how do you know if a story is true? How do you know Morgan didn't had an interview with the National Enquirer? I remember some gossip sites broke the news about Mariah marrying Nick, and many fans thought it was untrue (why would she marry a guy she ony dated a for a few weeks?). It was only confirmed days later. Thirdly, if someone writes a news article praising or criticizing Mariah's clothes or show, how can you label this "fake" or "true"? (Thursday 4 June 2015; 16:39)

"I paint topless while listening to Mariah Carey" (54,189) by Ardis Logic from Earth This just made me laugh. I think Britney may have a girl crush on MC, who knows? I would love to see her art room. Sounds fun painting on the walls while listening to Mariah. I think I would keep my top on thought. (Thursday 4 June 2015; 16:28)

Gossip Cop Mariah Carey edition (54,188) by Ardis Logic from Earth It would be so cool if someone could create a Mariah Carey fan site that would post "all" news stories, good and bad, positive and negative. Then after the story post if they believe that it's a "true" story or "fake" story. That way we wouldn't have to go searching all over for different news updates about MC. Anyone please feel free to take my idea and create this fan site. (Thursday 4 June 2015; 16:24)

Morgan, Mariah alcoholic? Mental health issues? part 2 (54,187) by Tiina from Finland If she really did have a drinking problem, believe me, it would show. She wouldn't be able to hold herself together, let alone be a single mom and raise two kids and record and release a brand new studio album last year and another album this year as well as do the residency. And she literally just made a comment that right now she's trying to avoid alcohol to preserve her voice for the shows. But first and foremost, she would never allow herself to get wrapped up in a serious addiction that would cause hurt to her children. At least that's what I believe because she herself grew up in a tumultuous household, always feeling uncertain. And Mariah has always been able to get through difficult times by holding onto her faith, music and optimism. As for prescription drugs, well, she can sometimes come across as loopy and unfocused, which could be due to a medication. Certainly strong antipsychotic drugs like Zyprexa can cause that. But it could just as well be that she doesn't get enough sleep as she works hard and suffers of insomnia. Once again, Mariah doesn't strike me as being severly mentally ill as in suffering from psychotic episodes, so why would she be on an antipsychotic medication? She's definitely not schizophrenic nor bipolar. Of course we can't know for certain unless she tells us. Depression? Maybe. Only she knows. If she has mental health issues, I have nothing but empathy for her. For her brother to shame her about using a medication to treat it is wrong. (Thursday 4 June 2015; 16:04)

Album sales (54,186) by NHYTG from nyc I just noticed that #1 to Infinity is down to #58 at Billboard's Album Top 200. Better than I expected, probably due to sales of physical cd's. Does anybody know if cd's sold in the Ceasars Palace shop are included in Nielsen SoundScan sales results? (Thursday 4 June 2015; 15:23)

Morgan, Mariah alcoholic? part 1 (54,185) by Tiina from Finland First of all, if this is for real then shame on him. As Mariah's big brother, he's supposed to protect her. The only reason that I can think of that could explain this is that he hasn't been able to reach Mariah and is frustrated. But it's still out of character for him. What do we know about Morgan? That he's successful in his own right and (before these alleged comments) has always remained private. Alison is a different story and yeah, this kind of behaviour could be expected from her but not Morgan. As for the allegations, Mariah doesn't strike me as an alcoholic, although she sure likes those splashes. Okay, at times it has made me wonder if there's more to it, when in the past (especially last year) it seemed like she was either constantly sipping on champagne during interviews or seen holding a glass of bubbly in her Instagram and Twitter pictures. It's a slippery slope. Something that might have started as a glamorous indulgence every now and then (also keeping up with the diva image) or even having an occasional drink to calm down (which is never a good idea), could have easily turned into tippling. But drinking while pregnant and breastfeeding? Hell no. She didn't even go to Aspen when expecting because of the altitude and before that she went through a cleanse to get her body ready. And during the B. Scott interview she said that is she was pregnant she wouldn't be drinking. She miscarried her first, there's no way she would have risked her second pregnancy.

Late 1990s MC live (54,184) by Billy from Greece Remember the performance of "Close MY Eyes" on the Rosie O'Donnel show? It's one of her most precious performances. As I re-watch several live clips of Mariah from different parts of her career, I can say that her lives from the late 1990s are rather undervalued. As a video that has recently been uploaded on YouTube also indicates (here it is by the way, though I don't necessarily agree with everything), her voice did not deteriorate in the late 1990s. It just matured, which led to a somewhat different vocal placement or technique, thus to a different sound overall, but one which to me is not inferior to what is usually considered her vocal peak. Looking at the Butterfly and Rainbow tours from a time distance, you have to appreciate the sound that she had then, which was deep, intense, and very expressive. (Thursday 4 June 2015; 14:33)

Non-fetch MC songs (54,183) by Todd from Melbourne, Australia Ooooh it's tough. And I'm probably going to get sentenced to death for these, but: 1 - Always Be My Baby. I have never ever liked this song. 2 - Want You from Glitter with Eric Benet. Ugh. Skip. 3 - Faded. Never understood the hype around this one. 4 - Babydoll. It's a skipper. 5 - The First Noel. I like the song in general, but MC is on breathy overload here, and I just want her to bust out a belt all the way through it. I feel awful for doing that. Mariah, if you're reading this, I'm sorry. (Thursday 4 June 2015; 14:25)

Stay Triumphant, keep on living (54,182) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I was watching the video of "Triumphant" again and I still fail to understand why people don't like it. Anyways I love how at the 2:59 mark Mariah swings from the ring ropes screaming, so cute. The video was amazing. I loved the whole Hollywood meets mobster glamor. The Don and the diva. The gold accents everywhere. Mariah looked gorgeous, Rick Ross has layers of clothes on his body (which is unusual). I absolutely love the entrance with Meek in the middle and Mariah encouraging him while walking him to the ring. The ending chorus with the ad-libs and whistle was gorgeous. I love how MC breaks into a loud whistle whenever it seems like her emotions are overflowing and words are just not enough. I don't know if that happens organically or she decides in advance but it just seems so natural. I am not talking about all case but some, like DFAU, BOTH, Triumphant to name a few. I am dedicating this song to Mariah now. Get 'em. Stay triumphant. Be all that you are and make 'em all fall down. Get up now. (Thursday 4 June 2015; 14:22)

Re: Mariah Carey Archives (54,175) by Lee TS from USA (54,181) by MimiLamb from Germany Really? Sorry but if something is always posted, it's all news about Mariah, the good, the bad and the harsh articles. I don't think the Webmaster's started posting just certain articles, the tone of a lot of the articles changed, and why not? We don't have to read about the bad only when there is a lot of great stuff online about her as well. Personally I'm very happy the Webmaster didn't post the article from the National Enquirer, there are limits. You know he doesn't just post certain things, just look at the messageboard to see he gives everybody their freedom of speech and I'm sure that even for the Webmaster it's sometimes to a point that it is hard even for him to do so. The same goes for the articles. (Thursday 4 June 2015; 14:17)

Mariah wants to collaborate with herself (54,180) by Lara from Middle East Now that would mean we can expect a duet with Bianca? Cool, she can try a new style under Bianca's personality and test the waters. (Thursday 4 June 2015; 13:45)

Rainbow tour, Milan (54,179) by Billy from Greece In case you haven't checked any videos from the "Rainbow tour" recently and only remember it as the worst tour vocally by Mariah, I suggest you immediately check out the show from Milan. Her vocals and stage presence are outstanding. Honorable mentions go to "Without You" and "My All" (excellent ad libs) while she really grooved to "Dreamlover" and "Honey". Finally, "Crybaby" is awesome too. (Thursday 4 June 2015; 13:42)

Morgan (54,178) by Luke from United Kingdom If you believe what was said (if he even said it), then you have no idea what an alcoholic or addict is. Her voice wouldn't be improving like it has been, I doubt Ceasers or Sony would agree to sign a contract with a drug addicted alcoholic and I don't think her children would be allowed to spend the majority of their time with a disfunctional mother. The fact that she's okay having a little drink with interviewers in the evening shows that she's far from being an alcoholic. It's when they're smashed in the morning and adamant they have never been drinking that you should start worrying. As far as having a stripped down interview, it wouldn't hurt but the tabloids are always going to be saying stuff like this. Remember that it's not just her they do it too though. (Thursday 4 June 2015; 13:08)

National Enquirer (54,177) by darrian liu from taiwan That article is pure bullshit. The media is just trying to tear down Mariah at this really good time when Mariah is rebuilding her image now. If you're trying to spread a lie through an article, at least post some convincing, well-written article, not that piece of rotten Frito. (Thursday 4 June 2015; 12:50)

Tamia (54,176) by enwar00 from usa That was a good song. Very late night. Which reminds me I'm gonna need that new Maxwell album now. Mariah should do Mariah though. (Thursday 4 June 2015; 12:14)

Mariah Carey Archives (54,175) by Lee TS from USA Please, this is in no way of criticizing the webmaster. But I noticed recently you've kind of started to omit in posting certain articles relating to Mariah that may seem harmful to her image or negative in light. Just coming from being a fan of Mariah and this website (since '99), I want to know all things related to Mariah, the good, bad, and the ugly. And I mean this in the best way possible, but don't become like Mariah Daily where she is only praised and things get censored. That keeps us in the dark. You were brave enough to post when Mariah was drunk accepting her acting award or when Nick made those crude jokes first appearing on Howard Stern. This is our go-to source and can look up past stories/articles. Yeah, that's all. [The only article I didn't post was the The National Enquirer story about Morgan and Mariah. It's The National Enquirer, need I see more why I didn't post it?] (Thursday 4 June 2015; 12:11)

RJJ / Morgan (54,174) by Licia from USA I love that song by Tamia. After I heard this song I forgave her for that Sandwich and a Soda song. Lol. As far as that supposed interview by Morgan, I'm taking what was said with a grain of salt. The National Enquirer isn't exactly my go to news outlet for truthful stories. Throughout Mariah's whole career I have never seen or heard Morgan ever speak of Mariah good or bad in the media. Why would he start now? (Thursday 4 June 2015; 11:56)

Least liked or disliked songs (54,173) by enwar00 from usa This isn't even easy. I tried to find 5 from non-Christmas non-bonus track studio albums but really couldn't. I just love her songs that much what can I say. Overall for me though the lull in her catalogue is her output with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, which is interesting because I love all (caps) their work with Janet miss Jackson if you're nasty. Especially The Velvet Rope, a masterpiece imo. *Never too Far - I've mentioned this before and I know some people adore it. Something about it just seems fake and forced to me. And cheesy. Sorry but jmo. The opposite of Lead The Way, which kills me every time. *X-Girlfriend - Eh and blah. Cookie cutter. *Auld Lang Syne - I just kind of can't stand that song in general. *Not a fan of random tracks Imperfect and Bring It On Home. I'll let 100% slide this time. To me they weren't on an album for a reason. A few I initially thought would be on here were Through The Rain (Remix) with Joe and that hater, but I listened to it and it's not bad. Reflections (Care Enough) sometimes annoys me, I think mostly that line about being aborted that's just kind of awkward, but overall it is sung very nicely. And Can't Take That Away I had to relisten to again, but really how can I hate on that message. Quite frankly that song is still pertinent as we speak from all the haterade she receives on a daily 16 years later from friends and foes and allegedly even family now, as well as some shady fans that lurk on this board sometimes too. Love you. (Thursday 4 June 2015; 11:53)

Forever (54,172) by ktktkt from Philippines I can't believe someone will dislike it. Anyway this song is my favorite from Mariah as it reminds me of her glory days in Daydream tour especially the live version in Rotterdam. Whenever she had a bad performance, I watch her singing Forever live to remind me how I become a fan. This song just had a lot of great vocal moments attached to it. So there. (Thursday 4 June 2015; 11:43)

Worst songs (54,171) by Bill from the UK 1. Boy (I Need You) - I didn't like the Cam'Ron song and this was a rehash of it. Don't really rate Cam'Ron much either, and I think Mariah's vocal is, for the first time ever, somewhat uninspired. 2. Didn't Mean to Turn You On - Again, never a big fan of the original. I get it is supposed to be a homage to the time period but all those 80s sound effects throughout grate on me. 3. Against All Odds - Mariah only version is fine but the Westlife version is beyond reproach. A calculated move to score a hit, and Mariah's vocals just highlight how untalented those boys are. 4. Did I Do That - Softening to this one over time. The lyrics are great, I think it's the jarring "Ain't My Fault" sample that gets to me. 5. I'm That Chick - I love MJ, love Mariah, how I didn't love this baffles me still. I think the lyrics are a bit questionable. RJJ12, I can't believe this but in my youth (10 years old), I always used to skip Vanishing and AYNAF from their respective albums. Those songs are now my favourites from their albums and my go to tracks from those eras. Sometimes I spend a whole day with just one of them on repeat. Tastes change with time I guess. (Thursday 4 June 2015; 11:14)

Infinity video/s? (54,170) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Okay, I had high hopes for this one, and although I was more than a bit let down, I think it's a smart promotional strategy. It's practically an ad for her residency, and although its semblance of a storyline is under-baked and quite the mess, she still looks mighty fine. Weren't there rumors of her shooting two videos for the song, though? Like probably where the first leaked teaser (Mariah in her boudoir) came from? (Thursday 4 June 2015; 10:14)

Morgans interview (54,169) by Liz Archer from Sweden Of course we have no way of knowing if this is true. But I am concerned. It seem to me that Morgan is actually really worried about his sister. Mariah is very isolated. I have been worried about the people around her may not be good for her for a long time and if she really does isolate herself from her family or anyone that wants her good. That is something to be very worried about. (Thursday 4 June 2015; 9:58)

If you run you mouth in an interview, I will hunt you down (54,168) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Yes, I intentionally changed the lyrics. Anyways I really feel bad for Mariah. 3-4 blasts in less than 2 weeks. It's gotta take a toll. Surprised Allison hasn't popped up yet. If Morgan did say those things, or even half of it, Mariah should really hunt him down. I don't care what he thought, but to publicly call out your sister on what I believe are false accusations and making morbid predictions about her death is beyond wrong. She has kids now, I don't believe she'd jeopardize her life and not care about her kids. Plus in the interviews she did a while back, both print and Vegas arrival ones, she sounded positive about future and she sounded like she is in a good place. Morgan dahlin' your story is a year late, bye Felicia. Ain't no being friends. (Thursday 4 June 2015; 9:27)

Mariah doesn't take her drugs and alcohol seriously sometimes (54,167) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End If anything, she should be drinking more. These sips and splashes are so MOR and why not try opium for a change? Mariah's writing would surely benefit greatly from it too and then maybe finally she could actually claim she's a singer songwriter with a straight face. All true artists must suffer beyond life's usual strife and also actively cultivate substance abuse issues. Take up smoking again will you? At least give it a good old college try before you quit again. Winners struck with it you know? I mean, those humidifiers she sleeps with and decks her dressing room with should be spraying alcohol into the air constantly so she never has to deal with any sober moments at all. It's anecdotally proven to be creatively conducive by many rockstars. What about an IV drip for effeciancy? We need to think outside of the Music Box because she's such an amateur sometimes, it is embarrassing how lightly she takes drugs and alcohol. It's almost like she's not an alcoholic, drug addict or even smoker. How can she expect to get respect for her artistry if she's just some regular moderate drinker on the low? (Thursday 4 June 2015; 8:08)
