Vegas (53,231) by B from USA I'm back from Vegas. I'm exhausted. It was amazing. She did film scenes for the video and she was hilarious. (Tuesday 12 May 2015; 20:03)

This is the reason a Mariah rockumentary is needed (53,230) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End There is always someone trying to paint Mariah with a negative brush and because she can't address every single instance most of them get away with it and it's maddening. Now's the perfect time to get her own version on record because it's a pivotal moment in her legacy as an artist as well as in her personal life. Part of TEOM's success was that there was a lot of candid behind the scenes documentation going on. I hope this HBO special comes out on DVD too for us international fans who may not have access to American cable unless of course, Team Mariah can ensure the imminent viewing dustribution of it in our respective countries. And why not make the DVD available for future pre-orders? (Tuesday 12 May 2015; 19:56)

Infinity (53,229) by NHYTG from nyc Infinity is song of the week at Artistdirect.com, it get's a very good review. (Tuesday 12 May 2015; 19:49)

American Idol (53,228) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter If Mariah did end up sinking AI (which she didn't and it's ridiculous to even state that), she did the world a favor. That show needed to go down way back. It stopped being about the contestants long time back, what with the Simon-Paula feud, the JLo-Steve clash and what not. So if MC brought down AI, she should be thanked. That show was a waste of airtime either ways. Bye Felicia. (Tuesday 12 May 2015; 19:47)

Question for webmaster: censoring (53,227) by Ardis Logic from Earth Just a polite question, no dis respect what so ever. I noticed on my comment about "AI blaming MC" that my "WTF" was edited out, yet another member who commented on the same topic spelled out the full phrase (f*** y**) and it was not even censored. Why is this? Also sometimes I will use slang like "thank ya much" or "y'all" (because that's how some of us talk here in the southern states of US) and it will be corrected to proper English, why? [Webmaster: Fans from all over the world visit this website, that's why I prefer proper English instead of slang. I also prefer no cursing, but if I would censor this from message 53,223, the first sentence would be unclear. In your case, it had no extra value.] (Tuesday 12 May 2015; 19:40)

MCArchives insider Matt (53,226) by Ardis Logic from Earth That is so awesome. I can't wait until the video is released. (Tuesday 12 May 2015; 19:30)

The miscalculation of Mimi (53,225) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End The AI producers knew exactly what they were doing when they tricked Mariah into signing on to be a judge on the premise of having a traditional three person panel. For them to then do a switcheroo adding Nicki to the panel knowing full well there was bound to be awkward tension is just plain evil. Because if they were expecting Mariah to be as ratchet and immature as Nicki it completely backfired. That's what you get for playing dirty. No one can tell me that whole thing wasn't a set up by people who didn't want Mariah to be a successful judge. A certain ex-Sony employee was in the media casting negative aspersions on her stint as a judge when it was just a rumour. But he of course had nothing but praise for JLo who couldn't pass for an amateur singer at karaoke. (Tuesday 12 May 2015; 19:21)

Matt Summers (53,224) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter That is so cool. Brett is a great director. You basically got to meet two of your favorites under one roof haha. I saw a clip uploaded by Gilles on twitter which showed the third take in full. I was wondering what they have in mind for the music videos. Since we now know of six scenarios. One is the scene in front of the dressing table with the bulbs (I forgot what they call it) which is a lot like ISIL, the second is of her sitting on a chaise lounge/divan. The third is of her sitting in front of another mirror, eerily reminiscent of WBT. Fourth is of her walking towards a car and sitting in it, while her partner helps her and then runs to the driver's seat (this is also similar to the WBT end scene). The fifth is shots of her running around with the lights illuminating her hair. Sixth is the shot taken at the Vegas show. So I am curious to know what the total product looks like. I also heard in the clip that Mariah keeps thanking the audience again and again even after the curtains close. She is sweet. (Tuesday 12 May 2015; 18:38)

Dear Nigel (53,223) by Jono from USA With all due respect: fuck you. American Idol was already a shitfest for a number of seasons before you hired Mariah and Nicki in an attempt to boost ratings. Maybe if the show didn't allow tweens to block vote and turn the competition in to a beauty contest and sending truly talented singers home, maybe Idol would still be around. There's a reason why people like Kelly and Carrie are big, because they were rightfully good. I stopped watching the show because the same old boring cute white guy with a guitar kept winning, even when they weren't clearly the best. Remember Kris Allen? Adam Lambert actually lost to him in Season 8. Guess who we hear about still. True talent speaks for itself, and Idol was way off the mark because it allowed people with no musical talent to vote for their winner. What was the point of having judges if their input didn't matter in the end? And let's be real. Mariah didn't need this show, she is way above it. You needed Mariah. And you could have had an excellent season if you had only hired her, and not the other. "I didn't know she sang I thought she rapped or... whatever." For a show that was about vocals, you really shot yourself in the face by hiring someone with no vocal talents alongside a goddess like Mariah. So please don't blame your epic failure on Mariah who actually had the talent and credibility to bring to the show. You were your own iceberg that sank the ship. Good riddance. (Tuesday 12 May 2015; 18:33)

Mimi L. (53,222) by OGmattyICE from US Well she ran through the 19 songs live, then they asked as many fans to stay for 3 takes. Brett Ratner was there which was really cool because I grew up watching the Rush Hour movies and I respect him a great deal as a director. Anyways, Brett was talking as action was being filmed directing the crowd to go nuts and whatnot. The studio version of Infinity was playing and Mariah lipping just for show. Pretty much the same thing happened 3 times. They'd start from the top, dark then pull the curtains back as the song started. I remember Mariah constantly thanked the crowd for staying between takes. She's such a sweetheart. (Tuesday 12 May 2015; 17:43)

"It's Mariah's fault that AI failed" (53,221) by Ardis Logic from Earth Are you serious? This is so stupid. Nicki was the one who brought all the drama. Clearly it was a huge mistake bringing her to the show. The real reason AI failed is because it's totally lame. The people who win don't go on to be huge stars. They might get a 1 hit wonder if their lucky but that's it. Kelly Clarkson being the first was a little different but after that nobody really remembers these people. Then you have all these other singing shows that poped up after, that were diffrrent and had more interesting plots. So don't blame Mariah. It was just time for the show to be over. (Tuesday 12 May 2015; 16:35)

Re: Spir Ja (53,220) by Ardis Logic from Earth Glad you like the video. Thank you. (Tuesday 12 May 2015; 16:21)

Matt Summers (53,219) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Congrats on your MC music video debut. I keep hearing about the 3 different takes on the music video. Can you please shed some light on it? What exactly did she do? And why were there 3 takes? (Tuesday 12 May 2015; 10:25)

Emmanuel (53,218) by Elena from The Netherlands I was wondering the same thing. I don't know why, but I was always annoyed seeing her around MC. It seemed like she was around her 24/7 and that didn't seem healthy. There was always something "leechy" about her, but that is just my core feeling. Since she (and some other people of her former team) is not around MC anymore it seems Mariah is more down to earth and at ease. Of course, she might still be her friend, but not 24/7 living with Mariah. (Tuesday 12 May 2015; 8:55)

Unofficial Infinity remix (53,217) by Martyn from England, UK Guys, have you head this unofficial remix? It's incredible, probably better than whatever the official will end up sounding like. (Tuesday 12 May 2015; 8:20)

Mariah power (53,216) by David F from Mexico Mariah could be big this year if she keeps things going on like this. She is using all her energy to sing like the good days. It's really hard to take a breath and be scared that a single note could fail and ruin the moment. As you grow your voice tone changes and she is facing that, please people don't expect the same quality cause we all loose something along the journey. Maybe that you used to smile a lot, or run faster, or even think faster, our bodies age and so our voice becomes lazy too. I am happy that true singers go to the show like Anita Baker, even Aretha sang [...] at one of her shows. Mariah is letting her legacy in a good place because these two women could never approve [...] or [...] or [...] as true artist, somehow they know how hard is to be on a stage belting songs rather than dancing like a freak. [...] now has to work harder to beat Mariah at [...] since she doesn't sing, and [...] is over. (Tuesday 12 May 2015; 8:08)

Vegas concert audio (53,215) by 123 from USA Does anyone have any concert audio? (Tuesday 12 May 2015; 7:49)

I love that video (53,214) by Spir Ja from USA [...] of that is [...] true. I was going to get that simply safe home security system, because I just moved, then I realized it's based on wifi sensors all [...] out the house. My German grandmother [...] walked around barefoot and worked in her garden. She would stand there literally saying "the earth gives me energy from walking on it". [...] intuitively she died in her tomatoes. Yeah, I think MC's pregnancy probably demanded she walk flat footed. I hope she does more of it because I started out as a dancer, I had a modern dance instructor that flipped when she saw my "street" shoes, that was the last time I ever wore anything over 2 inches for a heel, ever they might look great, but the danger to the ankles and your spine is just too great. I'd like to know more about the earthing bed mat too, there is a tachyon unit you wear as a necklace I think that blocks out all the frequencies. Mick Jagger supposedly bought a hundred of them and handed them out to everyone on his tour a few years back. (Tuesday 12 May 2015; 7:07)

I was there (53,213) by OGmattyICE from US Just wanted to let this board know I went to the May 9th show in Vegas. (my first time seeing Mariah live ever) and I was extremely satisfied with the show. Being there solidified my thinking that Mariah is a true legend and seeing all her fans with me was quite overwhelming. I love seeing the dedication us lambs pay for her. I sat next to 3 girls who I didn't know and struck conversation and they were so sweet. Mariah's voice was spectacular. It wasn't perfect, but she definitely still can hit the belts/notes that no other artist tries to. It also is incredible that she shot 3 versions of the Infinity video afterwards and to know that I was a part of that is really cool. It makes me curious that if her voice sounds this good at 25 years into her career what it would've sounded like in the 90's. I wish I wasn't so young hahaha. My favorite part believe it or not was I'll Be There just for the nostalgia. Seeing Trey Lorenz and her singing together after all this time was beautiful. Anyways, she's my favorite and always will be. (Tuesday 12 May 2015; 5:28)

American Idol (53,212) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter It's so pathetic of Nigel Lythgoe to now call out Mariah and Nicki for the fall in ratings. I don't blame either of the ladies. The fight was exactly what the team wanted and they got it. Why bring two women either ways when they kept JLo and Paula as sole female judges? They could have just hired either Mariah or Nicki, instead of both. Both of them have a big fan following each so why hire both? Now they are trying to save face and throw mud at the two ladies. How about just keep it classy and say that they had a good run and end the show on a high note. What a tacky move. Good for Mariah and Nicki that they left. Plus the ratings probably fell way before. No one really even cared about JLo as a judge. I don't watch AI, I thought the show needed to end years back. It was getting tiresome plus it has way too many replicas now. (Tuesday 12 May 2015; 2:20)

Selfies (53,211) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I love how MC is getting down from the stage and letting her fan take selfies/photos with her while she is performing. The fans are so lucky. If she came and stood next to me singing, I'd either faint right there or I'd try my best to turn my camera on and take a selfie but fail miserably because I'd have a serious case of shaky arms. This era is going pretty well for Mariah. She is quite focused and she is being interactive with the fans. I am unfortunately missing out on the fun but I am glad to see the pictures and videos and audios. Her stage setting looks so elegant and classy. Loving the props she is bringing on stage. Hopefully things keep going well. Next week we'll probably see a lot of MC. The BBMAs (I am so excited), Jimmy Kimmel and Kelly & Michael. I can't wait to see the performances she has lined up. Hoping she chooses some pip ensembles too. Mariah if you need advice, you know where to come dahlin'. (Tuesday 12 May 2015; 2:11)

Vegas this weekend (53,210) by Ty from USA Hello lambs, so this weekend is Vegas, the show Saturday is gonna be fire, Sunday she's doing the Billboard Awards and they have plenty of tickets. Who is going? (Tuesday 12 May 2015; 1:18)

Re: Luke (53,209) by Ardis Logic from Earth That is a great quote. It also reminds me of this one. "In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends." - Martin Luther King Jr. (Tuesday 12 May 2015; 0:08)

Re: Spir Ja / Earthing (53,208) by Ardis Logic from Earth On the topic of Mariah "Earthing", I hope it's true that she is doing this. It can be very healing both physically and emotionally. There are so many benefits to Earthing. It truly is amazing, and feels so good. If anyone is curious to know more about Earthing, I made this video about it a couple years ago. (Tuesday 12 May 2015; 0:02)

Nick (53,207) by Tiina from Finland Mariah went against her better judgement by marrying Nick after only a few weeks of dating (and he left Nicole Scherzinger for her). Before that she always said that if she's to marry again she would have to get to know the person first. The whole world was shocked by their union. And then her friends said "He's a playa, slow it down." Everyone had a hard time believing she would marry some B-rated celebrity just like that. Because that's what he was at the time and certainly getting married to Mariah raised his status. I do think Mariah was genuinly in love with him and that he loved her too. In the beginning they seemed to fit well together and even though I've never considered Nick that funny (in fact I think he's childish) he seemed to make her happy. That is until he started working all the time (doing "some stupid shows" as MC put it in the Breakfast Club interview). "You used to be mister all about me, now you're just thirsty for celebrity." And talking about their private stuff like their sex life and celebs he'd banged and oh, naming his wife, the mother of his children, among the other women. Tacky and disrespectful. And let's not forget the interview with Barbara Walters and Mariah saying she only trusted Nick "sometimes". He's still being his tacky self referencing Mariah on his Instagram. Mimi L is right, there's no point, like why? "Show is over you ain’t gotta act." (Monday 11 May 2015; 23:53)
