Messageboard

Randy / Stacey (54,622) by Special K from USA Thanks Randy. I haven't posted in awhile but every once in awhile I'll check the message board out. You know Randy if Mariah would humble herself and sit in the audience at these awards shows, she would see how these younger artists are blowing her spot up. That could be inspiring and motivating for her to step her game up when it comes to these live performances. A good manager would suggest that to her. Does Mariah even have a manager? Hey Stacey. Nice to see you up in this piece. How are the kiddos? (Saturday 13 June 2015; 17:25)

Baby / Bill (54,621) by Dove from USA Baby, I don't know him. Sidenote: Bill where are you? I'm missing your classy, beautifully written, lovely posts up in here. (Saturday 13 June 2015; 16:38)

Andrew / RJJ12 (54,620) by Dove from USA Thanks for responding to my post Andrew and RJJ12. I was curious about those 3 because their positions are usually the most different from mine, and it makes me think about it from a different perspective. Thank you for the clip, I had seen it but had forgotten that she said that. L.A. Reid mentioned MC making a standards album, which I would love, but some people don't think it's a good idea. Here's why I like the idea: MC is an emotive and interpretive singer, which many singers of today are not, she will make us feel something. I also think MC would add a modern twist to the songs that would sound more like Amy Winehouse than Lady Gaga. LG's standards album did moderately well and she has a nasally voice, and although technically a good singer, she doesn't emote the way Mariah does. MC already dresses like a chanteuse. The part in the closet in the Infinity video looked awkward because she's dressed like a Barbie while bouncing and rapping. If she laid on a piano or stood in one place it would look normal if she was singing the standards. I've read that when you're stuck in a rut it's better to do anything over nothing. For example, people with writer's block should garden, or do something that is not their bliss. It helps them grow and get centered so that they remember what it is they do love. I would rather have another flop (although I wouldn't call MIAMTEC a flop, it debuted at #3 on the Billboard) than another dead period with no new music. (Saturday 13 June 2015; 16:33)

Re: Shelly (54,618) by Timariah from United States (54,619) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End "How are you, Shelly? Miss you." If that ain't some of the shadiest lines ever written, I am off my game. This board is crazy funny sometimes. Like what's the story with you and Shelly TiMariah? It's freaking Days Of Our Lives on here sometimes. But I live for some drama. Shelly girl, where you at? (Saturday 13 June 2015; 14:28)

Shelly (54,618) by Timariah from United States How are you, Shelly? Miss you. (Saturday 13 June 2015; 13:19)

Marissa "I can see clearly now" and the Art Of Letting Go (54,614) by Amber C from USA Some how I feel as though Mariah's aim was to make Me. I Am Mariah a recap of her last albums. If [...] look at the three different album covers for this album they are remisisicnet of other albums. Off the top of my head they are reminiscent of Emancipation, Charmbracelelet, and Music Box. Also that album was not like Mariah's earlier efforts. There was something very different about it. It is even more colorful than other albums and more mature. I feel like the next album by Mariah may be her best album ever [...]even though it's just us fans, we know that Mariah has not lost it, Mariah knows she will get those #1s. She knows she will top The Beatles. Atleast I know she will. She already did (the singles) they just weren't released. Lol. when I heard [...], I knew Mariah's reign wasn't over. [...] would have changed the course of contemporary music again. Mariah and Jermaine had something . (Saturday 13 June 2015; 4:39)

Not sure how to put this (54,611) by nikki from usa Whenever Mariah isn't trying to be "Mariah Carey" she comes up with incredible music. Her iTunes had ringtones that should've been songs: Whisper, Lillie's Blues, Time Of Your Life, etc. The Country music she made with Willie Nelson for Tennessee was fantastic. Glitter is a great party album of dance tunes. I was wondering how Mariah could do something like that - make new music without having to be "Mariah Carey" and not seem like she's trying too hard. Leave it to Mariah to have already performed the action. Music for a video game and commercial. If it turns out to be a winner and really fresh than that's the kind of music the kids will be expecting from her. That will give her free reign to expand musically. It's ingenious really. I'm wondering if Brett Ratner did the commerical and that's the "stunts" we heard about a couple months prior? Gives her an excuse to wear something sexy too. Honey meets the Renaissance era, that could be interesting. Bring it MC, bring it. (Saturday 13 June 2015; 4:28)

Standards album (54,610) by Licia from USA What is that? Help a sister out. Lol. (Saturday 13 June 2015; 3:55)

Special K (54,609) by Stacey from USA A-freaking-men. Your post (54, 561) was so on point. I hope MC gets out of her own way and gets her "ish" in order. (Saturday 13 June 2015; 3:48)

Game of War (54,608) by darrian liu from taiwan Cool. I never thought I'll see her in a Game Of War ad lol. I see it all the time when I play like Zenonia or smth now imma wait for the ad and download the game when MC's out in the ad. (Saturday 13 June 2015; 3:46)

When I Saw You cover (54,607) by 123 from USA It's nice to see people cover rare songs. This guy did a nice job and give his own little twist on some of the notes. (Saturday 13 June 2015; 2:43)

"Game of War" (54,606) by Ardis Logic from Earth What an unexpected deal this is. I think MC will be way hotter then Kate Upton. I'm sure the pics will be "hot tamale". Can't wait to see the commercial. (Saturday 13 June 2015; 1:47)

Shelly / standards (54,605) by 123 from USA Shelly, I know you didn’t ask me but I figured you might be interested in this clip. Mariah was asked that very question by Larry King during the Charmbracelet era. It's one of my favorite interviews from the post Glitter/breakdown Mimi. If anyone hasn’t seen it I suggest that they should. Mariah is intelligent, poised, introspective, honest, elaborate yet concise and shady. This is a perfect example of the type of interviews she should do now that she is in another “thunder precedes the sunlight” era. (Saturday 13 June 2015; 1:40)

Game of War (54,604) by Lee TS from USA This is so random and totally out of left field. If she's gonna do a commercial I hope she looks her best. From what I can tell, Kate Upton is selling sex to the geeks and gamers of the land. Mariah's going to need to get her body right and snatched with the boobs being large and in charge. Maybe she'll even play some sort of butterfly character. Don't know about this lambs, so random if true. But hey, get your coins girl. (Saturday 13 June 2015; 1:14)

Infinity fan made remix/video (54,603) by Ardis Logic from Earth Thank you for sharing. This is greatness. Love it. (Saturday 13 June 2015; 1:07)

Me I Am Mariah - a retrospective album (54,601) by 123 from USA If you all think about it, there is a reason why it was called Me I Am Mariah. The album was a musical retrospect of all her previous work wrapped up into one album. I remember all the suggestions that were posted at the time were all asking her to look to her past work and replicate it whether it was the pop sound of the 90s or the contemporary r&b and late seventies soul sound of TEOM. If you look at each song individually, you can pull each one from one or several eras. I believe she was looking to show her versatility and insane ability to put all these different tracks together in one album and sequence it in a way that made them all flow smoothly. She was able to sound contemporary without seeming desperate for a hit and the songs were mature enough to stand the test of time without sounding too dated. Here is my breakdown: Cry - Classic Mariah first two albums Faded - Contemporary R&B-Memoirs Dedicated - Fantasy remix Daydream rnb Hip Hop sampling ala The Roof Butterfly era Beautiful - Pop/Soul Dreamlover Music Box era Thirsty - ILT Migrate TEOM and E=MC2 era Make It Look Good - Throwback r&b/Soul sample Stay The Night It’s A Wrap TEOM Memoirs eras You’re Mine - WBT I Stay In Love Angel’s Cry last three eras YDKWTD - Emotions Unplugged You’re So Cold I’m That Chick Emotions E=MC2 eras Supernatural - Contemporary R&B E=MC2 era Meteorite - Daydream Interlude Fly Away Reprise all of her Morales remixes mid to late 90s eras Camouflage - Petals Rainbow era Money - The only song I believe was a slight departure/new sound for her. The blaring horns. Whisper vocals on the hook, full voice/mid range on the verses, then some jazz inspired vocals towards the end One More Try - Any album with a famous cover Heavenly - My Saving Grace Fly Like A Bird Charmbracelet TEOM eras (Saturday 13 June 2015; 1:06)

Mariah's tweet/Instagram on #MC25 with a letter to the Lambily (54,600) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End After waiting my whole life to see my name on an album ("LP"), the label let me know that they'll only be making CDs from 1990 onward. Total devastation. In their defense, they were nice enough to print a few vinyls and gave me some. Listening to it today, not every song is a favorite, but there are some songs that are still special to me, like "Vision of Love" which was on my demo. And even some obscure ones like "Sent From Up Above” and "Alone In Love”, which I started writing on my mom's piano when I was 15 years old. Then there’s "Vanishing” which so many fans tell me is their favorite song of mine. Those songs make me feel nostalgic and proud of that young girl who had so much ambition and passion for music. I still do, maybe even more. I will never let go of that. Thank you so much to all my fans, those who were here from the very beginning and those who have joined this lambily of mine along the way. I love you more than words can express, and I thank you for letting me feel this connection to you through my music. I hope you stay with me on this journey for years to come. MC. This is my second attempt at posting Mariah's full message to us. The first one didn't work out at all but whatever. Happy 25th Mariah Carey and many more. (Saturday 13 June 2015; 0:54)

Mariah's tweet/Instagram on #MC25 with a letter to the Lambily (54,599) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End I can't believe this anniversary of my first album. Me, who only has anniversaries, and who always makes jokes about it, was actually younger then than the album is now by quite a bit. Lol smh. (Friday 12 June 2015; 23:20)

Deedre (54,598) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter You are welcome dahlin'. I really liked what they did with the ending (although I didn't have a problem with the original ending), some may think it's a bit too much but I loved it, gives a whole new spin. (Friday 12 June 2015; 23:00)

You mean hoard of experts? (54,590) by Bino from Philippines (54,597) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End "How lovely to see so much judgment being tossed around in this board. Mariah is fat in here, Mariah doesn't look good in that dress. And, amazingly, so much expertise being shared. Mariah needs to do this, Mariah needs to stop doing that. Mariah is indeed lucky." And she apparently listens to them. Well she doesn't at all but let's pretend like Mariah didn't say just a few weeks ago that she doesn't pay attention to negativity, kind of her trademark personality trait. If anything, she probably does the total opposite of what most people think she should do. Which is her right as an individual, an independent woman and free spirit. It's not like following her instincts haven't paid off when even the free throw off life gifted her the precious Dem Babies. Tell her she needs a 7 year break and she breaks the internet. These April to April fools are quite amusing. When is the last time their strategies actually worked? You can't catch a Honey B. Fly with vinegar. Anyway, thanks for your post Bino, God bless. (Friday 12 June 2015; 22:35)

Mimi L (54,596) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada I really enjoyed that Infinity remix a lot. Thanks for posting that. (Friday 12 June 2015; 22:34)

Happy Mariah Carey: debut album is 25 years today June 12th (54,595) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Let's celebrate with a list of things MC hasn't done before. 1. Vision of a beauty brand endorsement, knock on Elizabeth Arden's red door, why don't you? Or, better yet, start your own brand: 500 aowez of beauty tools 2. There's got to be a way for M to get voiceover work in animated films. It's not like she doesn't have an arsenal of characters in her throat or anything. 3. I don't wanna cry because my hair is in knots. Where is a hair care line? 4. Someday soon she should be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. That'll make it a lot easier for her to get her four in the should at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame that is notoriously snobby. 5. My uncle Vanishing, or some other classic stage play, musical original play. ThespianRiah. 6. All in your music box. I want one that plays Mariah songs and we get to chose any song from your discography. 7. Alone in writing and producing a whole song. Dare I wish for a whole album? Sometimes Mariah's generosity in sharing writing credit has helped erode the perception of her as the genius songwriter she really is. 8. You need Mimi to write and sing the Team USA Olympic theme or the next FIFA Worldcup song. 9. Sent from app above: Mariah Careyoke etc etc. 10. Prisimer: Where are the exclusive Lambily jewels designed by MC? Like charmbracelets in real gold and silver. Think quality, not quantity. 11. Love takes too much time. Mariah, hook us up. An international dating service for the Lambily? Make it happen. (Friday 12 June 2015; 22:00)

Infinity fan made remix (54,594) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter This version of "Infinity" is great and what I loved most is what they did with the ending. It just makes the song so much better. Mariah hire the lambs. (Friday 12 June 2015; 21:33)

Shelly (looking out) (54,593) by Andrew from UK I think Gospel or Standards are a great sound but I think Mariah could incorporate them into a new sound of hers later on, not do it as a stop gap. I think music artists record their best work when they disappear and come back with a cathartic outpouring, and create songs of experience. I keep thinking of Madonna's Ray Of Light. Everyone counted Madonna out. She all but disappeared. She was middle of the road for 5 years and forgettable. But we all know that album as being a shock and of a time in our lives. Mariah has been hit-maker and never left her formula much, even though it's not winning anyone over anymore. And the sob story songs (don't get me wrong I sing them all the time) aren't washing with people anymore. It must be really hard to let go. And a little scary. But then it's never easy. I think she can do it. What sound it should be I have no idea. I'm not musically creative. But I do buy music and watch the trends like everyone else. Let her comeback (and that's what it has to be) be unique and born of a reinvention. If she just has the balls to try it, I will never complain again. So, I guess, the idea is: instead of looking in, I would say Mariah needs to start looking out. And, in a way, I'll work on that, myself. (Friday 12 June 2015; 21:15)

Boobs (54,592) by Alex from United States I love Mariah's cleavage. And I love when Mariah shows those two big ole tiggle bitties off. Just saying. (Friday 12 June 2015; 21:04)
