Shelly (52,024) by Timariah from United States Hey, Shelly. Where are you? (Sunday 19 April 2015; 14:24)

SIO / Mimi L. (52,023) by TheOne from Philippines IMO, the reason why SIO didn't become a #1 hit was because of the great success of WBT during that time. If Def Jam released that song, maybe a week/month later than the actual release, it definitely became a #1 hit. Btw, I'm really loving your posts since I visit this board over a year ago. I always find your posts entertaining and informative. (Sunday 19 April 2015; 13:54)

Witty lyrics (52,022) by Lee from UK Am I the only one around here who is not a fan of Mariah's "witty lyrics"? (Sunday 19 April 2015; 13:15)

Lee TS (52,021) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter You actually might be right. With all the tidbits we have heard recently about the song, it does sound like a revamped SIO. 1) Her singing fast on the verse. 2) A memorable hook. 3) A sad story line but funny lyrics (sad because MC was cheated on by her love interest in SIO). 4) The note at the end. It always bothered me that SIO didn't get a chance to top the charts. The song is and has always been a favourite of mine. Everything from the lyrics to the beat to the production, the video, the storyline was perfection. So this might be SIO's kid coming for vengeance haha. Ok lame, but you get what I mean.

Fantasy (52,020) by Randy from USA There is a mix with the original chorus and ODB. It's on the maxi-single and it's called the Bad Boy Mix. Come on lambs you should know this. (Sunday 19 April 2015; 12:31)

RJJ12 / Fantasy album version (52,019) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines I completely feel you on the whole Fantasy thing. I mean, sure the remix was what gave it longevity on the charts, and ODB's feature is just awesome on the track, but it also omits 3 hooks, including the swirling intricate harmonies of shoo-doo-doos and oh-oh-ohs as well as that delirious roller coaster ride of a chorus, which in turn takes a way a lot of its girlish effervescence and charm. The more beat-driven remix is impressive and historic for being the first thug love duet that came as a result of the most unlikely collaboration at the time, starting a trend that would become a regular fixture in today's music scene. But its the original version where Mariah has the most creative input and magic, as she tries to balance the addictive yet overpowering beat with her syllabic harmonies and hooks. Why not take the rap part from the remix and try to seamlessly place it on the original one? If the issue is that doing so will make the track too long, then that's just them because I personally have very rarely had issues with song length when it comes to Mariah.

Mariah's consistency (52,018) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines I'm also a fan of Janet and Madonna. I believe their impact in music will not be surpassed, as they have not just burned up the charts especially during their prime, they more importantly have created music that would still prominently be heard in today's landscape, as well as paving the way for all female singers in expressing themselves through fluid sexuality and provocative imagery. However, as much as I love them, I'd have to admit that when I listen to their records in chronological order, there is a noticeable deterioration in the quality of output. No one could touch them during the 80's, while only Mariah rivaled them in the 90's. After that, though, Jan has gone downhill post All For You, and while Rebel Heart is somehow a return to form for Madge (and yes, Bitch I'm Madonna is the worst song on it), it isn't as good as her last great album Confessions On A Dance Floor. This is mostly what makes me proud to be a lamb, because the quality of Mariah's output has been pretty consistent throughout her entire career (I actually feel like she's better in any era from Daydream onwards than any of her albums that came before it). She has matured as a songwriter, relying less on cliches, generalities, and shmaltz than she did during her first 4 years. Just listen to the output, as much as she seems to "try hard" to stay relevant on Thirsty, it's still more age appropriate and doesn't sound as desperate as Gimme All Your Luvin' or Feedback (though I do love the latter).

Prediction (52,017) by Lee TS from USA Infinity is Shake It Off 2.0. (Sunday 19 April 2015; 7:42)

RJJ12 / Fantasy remix (52,016) by cBerr from Canada There is actually a version similar to what you're thinking of. It's called "Fantasy" (Bad Boy Fantasy with O.D.B.) (clocks in at around 4:50). There is also a edited version without O.D.B. called "Fantasy" (Bad Boy Mix) (locks in at 4:15). (Sunday 19 April 2015; 4:55)

Original Fantasy and remix blend (52,015) by 123 from USA I think Mariah should blend the original Fantasy with the remix. Hearing only the remix with the missing hook is getting old. I like how Kelly Rolland sang it for her as a tribute. She did pretty good. (Sunday 19 April 2015; 3:38)

Vegas (52,014) by B from USA I was going to fly to Vegas but my fear of flying got the best of me. So, I'll be driving in a rental car. Taking in the sites along the way. (Sunday 19 April 2015; 0:49)

Bought my ticket for opening night (52,013) by Reuben Walton from United States I will be driving up to Vegas from Beverly Hills, CA on May 5th and back on the 7th. Who else is going? Maybe we can meet up or something. (Saturday 18 April 2015; 23:42)

Vegas (52,012) by B from USA My first concert is Mariah Carey singing all 18 of her #1's. I'm so excited. (Saturday 18 April 2015; 23:19)

Never heard of before vocals "AIWFCIY" (52,011) by Ben from Sweden Never heard of before vocals of "All I Want For Christmas Is You". The song is extended a little, you'll hear it in the end, a lot of riffs. Listen here. (Saturday 18 April 2015; 21:26)

Mariah's progress in weight (52,009) by Malcolm from Asia I'm so glad that I see some progress on Mariah losing weight. I think she only needs a good management team and great environment that is happening now with her in Epic and new handlers on her career. I guess in 6 months we can all see the American Idol era weight that we're waiting for and if that happens all photoshop issues will be worth it because she can proudly say that I can be that again, just wait and see. Go for it MC. (Saturday 18 April 2015; 19:25)

Stunning in the Bahamas (52,008) by Ardis Logic from Earth The new pictures of Mariah are gorgeous. I would love to see the "real" MC on album covers and promo pics rather than this fake MC. It's like they are two different people. I really wish photoshop never existed. Some people think it's great, but it really isn't. I admire people who are proud to show off their natural beauty and love themselves as they are. (Saturday 18 April 2015; 17:59)

Original #1s (52,007) by Skip from United States I'm sure the copies on Amazon are just the remaining copies from its last pressing. I don't think this version will be hard to come by since so many were pressed. I just noticed it was gone from digital platforms which implies it will no longer be newly available on CD. And I wondered if any other Mariah album had ever officially gone out of print, whether copies can still be found or not. (Saturday 18 April 2015; 17:21)

Mimi L (52,006) by Kate from UK I'd probably cry if MC release a song like "Bitch I'm Madonna". The entire message and production of that song is horrific (exclamation marks). (Saturday 18 April 2015; 17:12)

Bill (52,005) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Thanks Bill. I didn't make it. Found it on twitter. Giving you the link in case you want to use it somewhere. I really liked this version. (Saturday 18 April 2015; 16:51)

May (52,004) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Hey there. I am glad you agree. I know a lot of people might be like no Nick is the best that could have happened to Mariah. I only learned to like Nick because MC seemed to be happy with him. But as time went by, MC seemed more and more miserable. Starting with the Barbara interview, where she says she "trusts him sometimes" and then saying that "he's nice when he is good". Then came a phase where she looked completely miserable, and it looked like she was super depressed and kept calling Nick "the abandoner". As for Nick dating other women. I am not opposed to the idea of him dating. Why shouldn't he? He is young and they are separated. They both deserve other shots at happiness. I might not have been clear in my post before, I was referring to a specific video of his that surfaced which showed three scantily clad women, taking turns twerking on him. That bothered me. I think he should be a little more respectable and that's not the behavior MC deserves, if he ever had the intention of working things out with her. There is nothing wrong with either of them dating other people. But none of them are in their 20s anymore, so keep the twerking and dirty dancing with half naked people at bay. Their kids shouldn't have to grow up seeing their dad or mom in that position. (Saturday 18 April 2015; 16:50)

Mimi in Bahamas (52,003) by TheOne from Philippines MC looks stunning in those photos. I really love her image since she moved back to Sony. I wonder what she's doing right now. (Saturday 18 April 2015; 15:32)

Original #1s (52,002) by Dove from USA It's still available on Amazon for $6.99. (Saturday 18 April 2015; 14:40)

(51,998) by Mimi L. (52,001) by May from Denmark I agree in your post that Nick Cannon might not be MC happy ending, I also think alike, Nick has a lot to grow to do still. But I don't agree in that he cannot go around dating other women, why not? They are separated and the divorce is already in place, it just takes time to finish the papers. I think is great that MC seems to have moved on and put on her star-career armour back. Before she seemed more relaxed when dropping albums but also didn't seem to be so much into it as she seems in this one, it's clear she wants a come back, she is a spotlight lady and well deserved. We don't know what really went on with Nick and Mariah and the rumors are so many I honestly will just give time to time because eventually, no secret now at days is buried that deep, it's hard. One day we will know. But I never really liked Cannon, the way he talks about women, as if we are meat products on display in a market. Though boy I'm glad both found an agreement for the kids and behave politely, I like how Mariah can keep drama away from mags even when rumours flow. She seems determined and I applaud her for standing tall. (Saturday 18 April 2015; 13:24)

Mimi L (52,000) by Bill from the UK Loving the new avatar, did you make it? (Saturday 18 April 2015; 13:22)

For the record (51,999) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ok so I just wanted to say this beforehand. Usually every time MC releases a song, the board divides into two parts, one loving the song, one not feeling it so much. So just saying, whatever MC puts out, always be happy we don't have to ever expect this from her. (Saturday 18 April 2015; 10:22)
