Photoshop (51,867) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter All the new outlets photoshop shaming Mariah should just calm the fudge down. What's funny is that in order to compare the album cover versus "real body" images, they'll always pick the image where she is looking on her chubbier side and then run with it. They are comparing it with pictures from the Elusive Chanteuse shows gold mini dress (which was unflattering on its own) then the pictures from her Butterfly drink launch and the hideous dress she wore for the Chanteuse show (the gun metal off shouldered one). Then out of the many gorgeous shots of her singing at recent charity gala, they managed to pic one up where she seems to have a little bulge in the stomach region (which in all honesty can just be her dress bunched up at the stomach because she is kneeling) and compare it with the cover. Why don't they do a side by side of the picture of Mariah at the City of Hope gala just few days back wearing the gorgeous black dress? She looks really slim there. While her cover did get photoshopped, it's not as much as people are blowing it up to be. She's standing at an angle, she has good lighting and the cut outs at her waist add to the illusion of a slimmer waist. After all these effects. there's the additional photshopping. I don't get why people are blowing it up in a way that she has photoshopped away a 100 pounds (Wednesday 15 April 2015; 11:51)

Supafly (51,866) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Your post about Mariah coming with the new single to kick Uptown Funk out and defend her chart position gave me the chills somehow. I really like Uptown Funk, I do, and I was rooting for it to stay at #1 because I was scared Rihanna will collect one more with "FourFiveSeconds", but that was way before and I never thought that UF will potentially dethrone OSD. Like someone mentioned, I really wish MC doesn't lose any of her records, at least this year. So your post kind of made me visualize this scene. Bruno and his posse (along with Mark) dancing in the UF video, when the part that they say "stop, wait a minute" comes around. Only this time, instead of Bruno it's MC who says that and she walks into the scene and snatches Bruno's hat, throws it and her new song starts. Haha. At the end, she goes like "bow down to the queen". It's kiddish I know, but hey. (Wednesday 15 April 2015; 11:12)

New photos (51,865) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Guys did you see the new photos from the #1 to Infinity photoshoot? I really like them. She looks fierce. You can check them here. (Wednesday 15 April 2015; 10:09)

You betta sang heffa part 2 - Make It Happen (51,864) by 123 from USA Through the years, she still got it. You betta run across that stage like its your last performance. (Wednesday 15 April 2015; 8:45)

Door left open for Mariah reconciliation (51,863) by TheOne from Philippines Any thoughts about this article lambs? (Wednesday 15 April 2015; 8:32)

You betta sang heffa (51,862) by 123 from USA I love this. (Wednesday 15 April 2015; 8:10)

Andrew / May / Bill (51,861) by Dove from USA Andrew, I don't have a problem with people disagreeing with me. May, I liked the post (51,732) you wrote yesterday. It felt like it came from an honest place and many people probably share your point of view. I always like your posts. Bill thank you for always being so nice to me. I feel like I know you and some of the other frequent posters at a soul level. I think that's one of the reasons why I keep coming back here. (Wednesday 15 April 2015; 5:45)

Someday / Fantasy (51,858) by Giselle #1 Mariah Critic from USA I really don't even understand why she would include the MTV unplugged version of Someday. Mariah needs to sit down and realize that yes "VOL", "LTT" were great hits but it was "Someday" sweetie that lit Rythmic radio on fire back in the day. I can't tell you how many times as a kid I used to hear that on the radio. Everyone would get their life on that song. I don't understand what she finds terrible about it, the beat is outdated but that soggy is pure early 90's realness. "Fantasy" ODB remix isn't really my favorite, I wish they could find a way to merge the original with ODB's verse from the remix. Every time I listen to the remix I have to listen to the original right after because you just feel something is missing in the remix version like it's not finished. I'm over the cover, Mariah needs to work on her insecurities and embrace her figure now. Her head looks like they stuck it right in a models body. Her album covers have always looked weird though if you study them. I don't like any of them. E=MC2 era of pics were great I admit, the color scheme and everything was on point.

April 27 (51,857) by Darryle from USA I don't think I've ever been this excited for a new single. Mariah's really hyping this song up so I have a feeling that it's a really good song. I hope we get a teaser soon. I don't think I can wait until the 27th. (Wednesday 15 April 2015; 4:00)

Uptown Funk vs Infinity (51,856) by supafly from I wish MC would bring the release of Infinity forward. How fitting and divalicious would it be if Mariah came to defend her title with her next #1 hit by stripping Uptown Funk from the top spot? A lamb can only dream. (Wednesday 15 April 2015; 3:47)

Lamb for life (51,855) by L4LTiD from UK I have been a fan of Mariah since day one, I'm old enough to remember hearing Vision of Love on the radio in 1990 and feeling it deep in my soul, with those thrilling highs, I felt like a bird having the cage door opened and soaring towards the great blue yonder and freedom. I have over the years come to this message board to get snippets of news and keep up with what's happening, it was always used to be a great forum for what was going on and lambs expressing their thoughts, hopes and feelings. Lately it feels like a really negative space, so much so that I wanted to write this post. Mariah is a diva, yes she is and that's why I love her, but she is also human and I have come to accept the way she looks, sounds and dresses. Who am I to judge? Am I a world famous singer with 18 number ones, a back catalogue of hits and more money than I could ever spend? No and I am at peace with that. I think it is fine to express disappointment and a wish for her to succeed when she fails, but do we have to be so negative within ourselves? We are lambs are we not? Let's try and act like a flock of fabulousness rather than a herd of hatred. (Wednesday 15 April 2015; 3:06)

Andrew (51,854) by Travon..SweetSweetFantasy from USA I was technically being nice to you but now you have officially p***** me off. I do not care to know what revered means because I already do and my message to you still applies. You are stupid in your approach and ignorant in your delivery when you message on this board. If you are going to bully someone and tell them what to buy and how to act, then maybe, you should go back to Elementary School and play with your friends in the playground. You seem to get too involved in others personals and really you should work on your self esteem. You seem insecure and love to hurt others. You're childish (rude) antics would get you more than a comment if I saw you in person. Next time you want to indirectly disrespect or shade me, realize this, I dont care about you. I care about your disrespect to others on this board. So please take several seats on the very top row of a 64,000 seat stadium, where you belong because I am enjoying the clear view in the very first row. Good day. (Wednesday 15 April 2015; 2:01)

Bruno Mars - One Sweet Day (51,853) by MC1989 from Spain Does it work now? [Webmaster: No.] (Wednesday 15 April 2015; 1:53)

#1 To Infinity (51,852) by NYHotShotta from USA I was actually hoping she'd have four new songs on there like the #1's album had. I'm also hoping she has some behind the scenes footage, interviews, live performances as well. (Tuesday 14 April 2015; 22:23)

Infinity sound (51,851) by Jono from USA I'm dying to know what kind of sound Infinity will be. Mariah is the queen of ballads, but it would be nice to hear something more uptempo. I mean she knows how to do bangers as well (Migrate, YDKWTD). Unfortunately those two songs never got the attention they deserved. Speaking of YDKWTD, don't underestimate Mariah's knack of being ahead of the curve. Someone who has been producing for 25 years and is pretty much an expert. When #Beautiful was released, she was already using old school Motown vibes. Guess which song similar in that sound is a huge hit right now (Uptown Funk). In fact many artists are now doing the old school funk sound - the cute "Somebody" song that samples Whitney, Jason's "Want to Want Me", etc. Mariah knew this already back in 2013, and had it not been for personal matters she would have been leading the throwback movement. Heck, Glitter in retrospect has been acknowledged as being ahead of its time. A YDKWTD kind of energy is the summer song that can crossover and make it a universal hit. Something that doesn't sacrifice her vocals, and although a dance beat, doesn't sound like a rehash of a generic Calvin Harris / David Guetta / Stargate beat. If Mariah is confident enough to include only one song, and have it be listed at #19 on an album specifically titled #1s To Infinity, I'm confident. She knows what's up. Add in Brett Ratner as the director and this could be huge. Onwards. (Tuesday 14 April 2015; 22:14)

Infinity / new album (51,850) by 123 from USA I believe they are putting all their energy on this new song. It is smart to just release one song if it's good. I also like the fact that they are dropping the song and video on the same day since video streams now count towards chart position. If it is a halfway decent video, she may get a good amount of video streams and if the song is available to purchase it could have a great start charting. Since this is the only new song on an album full of number ones, it would be great that they focus all their attention promoting it. No wonder she rushed back into the studio to record a new album, if this song catches steam and goes number one, they will need to drop another single/album 3 to 4 months from now to strike while the iron is hot.

Bruno Mars - One Sweet Day (51,849) by MC1989 from Spain Have you seen this video from Bruno Mars singing One Sweet Day? How appropiate now that he's about to beat Mariah's 16 weeks-at-number-one record. [Webmaster: Why do you always post YouTube links that don't work?] (Tuesday 14 April 2015; 20:28)

Favoriet ballads (51,848) by Warrior Butterfly from USA "And You Don't Remember" and "Music Box", I always have had a special soft spot for those. I believe it's the way that she's using her whole voice. (Tuesday 14 April 2015; 20:21)

My all / 1997 (51,847) by Abraham from USA I love "My all". The lyrics along with Mariah's vocals are amazing. I don't understand why many say her voice in '97 was shot or the beginning of its deterioration, I don't think that at all. I actually perfer Mariah's voice in '97 than in '95. My all time favorite performance is "Make it happen" from "Divas live". Her singing was on point, along with those vocals and the way she worked that stage. I really would like to see Mariah like that again. Energized with life wanting to sing. I'm pretty I'm not the only one who feels this way. That's exactly how she should be in Vegas. No gowns or tight dresses where she can't move. Why not something comfortable and loose? Hell rock a damn pant suit. (Tuesday 14 April 2015; 20:02)

Shelly (51,846) by Andrew from UK Shelly, people are allowed to disagree with you. Where did all that personal stuff come from? Chill out. So I disagree with your position. I'm allowed to say it. I think I may speak for some other Mariah fans also. And some people should look the word "revered" up. And comprehend sentences before they try to silence people. Yes I'm very critical at the moment. There's much to be critical/analytical about. When there is positive stuff I will shout it aloud. Like "Infinity". Great title and if it's a killer upbeat summer track Mariah may just pull something off. And I'll shout it from the rooftops. Yet people should not be intimidated into not being critical because some attack dogs want to prevent them from being so. We each get to decide if we are fans are not, nobody else. Even the Lilly-white ones and the racists that label them so. (Tuesday 14 April 2015; 19:58)

My All / Stay Awhile (51,845) by B from USA Mariah is the queen of the remix. I have a hard time picking my favorite but My All/Stay Awhile is in my Top 5. Sampling and interpolating Stay Awhile, Little Child was a stroke of genius. She's a musical genius. That's why I'm not worried about Mariah Carey becoming a has-been like some of you seem to think she has become. (Tuesday 14 April 2015; 19:21)

Shelly (51,844) by Bill from the UK Shelly, you're loved by many on this board, as Annie Wilkes in Misery said "I'm your number one fan" lol. Don't take heed to anyone targeting you for daring to post positive and excited thoughts on a fan site dedicated to your favourite artist (which is supposed to bring like minded people together). We love you, appreciate you, and adore you. They can say anything they want to say, try to bring you down, but you won't face the ground, you will run steadfastly sailing out of their reach. Pay no attention to those cock-a-doo-dee dirty birds. (Tuesday 14 April 2015; 19:11)

My All (51,839) by Raphael from Brazil I think My All is her best ballad. (Tuesday 14 April 2015; 18:46)

Re: (51,836) by G.G. from USA (51,838) by MIAM from United Kingdom You are absolutely right. Lol never mind eh. (Tuesday 14 April 2015; 17:18)

My All is a masterpiece (51,837) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada My favorite ballad. So many layers in the arrangement. Her vocals are stunning and the lyrics are breathtaking. To this day My All/Stay Awhile and the club mix are two of my fave remixes ever. So good. That song is amazing along with ATYNAF and the incredibly awesome "Joy To the World" remix video. And I was listening to "Melt Away" last night, her lower register is like velvet. Such a great track. Life is short, guys. There's always something to be upset about. Happiness is a choice.
