Calm before the storm? (50,346)
by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
Mariah has been awfully quiet lately. It has been mentioned that she is recording songs for the #1's reissue but she doesn't talk about it. We don't see paparazzi shots of her out and about, her Twitter is pretty calm, it's like she is determined to stay discreet at the moment. Makes me wonder what she is up to? Planning her next big move with L.A. Reid? A huge comeback? Surprises? I am quite excited. I mean the last time she announced she is working on an album (which she worked on for like forever) she kept bombarding us with pictures of her in the studio, outside the studio, in her makeshif studio, and what not basically letting is know she is recording. But now she is suddenly all quiet. I also wonder what happened to the song or remix she did with Morales during MIAM era. I mean Morales confirmed they were recording. Plus she clearly recorded stuff right after the release of MIAM, because she tweeted photos outside her studio with a caption that goes something like "the recording doesn't stop" or whatever. She is bound to have a lot of songs she didn't include in MIAM. But will those see te light of the day? Mariah, you are being deliciously elusive, but I am willing to wait.

Say what now? (50,345)
by MimiLamb from Germany
I'm sorry but these articles are getting more ridiculous as time goes by. "She was naked except for two butterfly stickers over her nipples." Really now, come on. Not to mention the booty article, I really laughed my ass (pun intended) off reading that, and this one is just a "shake my head" kind of article. Mariah is lying low, so there is not much to write about, so let’s dig into our “BS” files and make some crazy stuff up. Sorry but I can’t take it serious at all. (Monday 23 February 2015; 7:19)
Tobby / Without You (50,344)
by Bill from the UK
I agree with you Tobby about Without You. Being from the UK, I always consider it a #1, and was glad it was included on the UK release of the first #1's album. I wonder if she will include it for the update. It was a huge success across all of Europe actually, hitting the top spot in several countries, and really was what propelled her to stardom on this continent. It's quite a significant landmark in her career from an International perspective, as it helped break her in many new territories, so it would be great if it was featured on the updated album, again, even as a bonus track would be great.

Booty (50,343)

Taylor Swift's booty is also perfectly fine as it is. (Sunday 22 February 2015; 21:53)
Booty / body / Honey (50,342)
by Lee TS from USA
I think most of the booty comments were just for laughs. What I do need M to do is get her body together and snatched for the gods. Lol. Yes, like some suggested maybe hire Patricia from St. Barts who weighs 2 lbs soaked and wet that can whip M into shape. I don't need her to be Touch My Body skinny because that's probably her most thinnest frame since the debut era. I loved her body during Charmbracelet era when she was fit, toned, and shapely. Then she needs to take those paparazzi bikini shots of herself with a splash in one hand frolicking on the beach with one of the pups, remember those? Or on a yacht, whatever style of living it up she chooses. I want her to feel juicy and sexy again, and make Nick eat his heart out haha. I would love to hear Honey in a torch-like style where she's crying for desperation. It had me thinking how cool it would've been if she did that for 50 Shades of Grey. I thought it was genius of Beyonce to revamp Crazy In Love to fit the movie and it worked incredibly well. (Sunday 22 February 2015; 18:56)
#1's and Mariah's next studio album (50,339)
by B from USA
Mariah Carey will take her heartbreak and turn it into Gold and Platinum. Her last divorce inspired her to write the lyrical and musical masterpiece that is Butterfly. Is it just me or does it seem like Mariah Carey seems to write her best music when she's hurting? Charmbracelet and MIAMTEC both will one day be regarded as defining releases from Miss Carey. Her lyrics are genius on both of these underrated albums. I love that she made the critics, who wrote her off after the underwhelming Triumphant, eat their words with #Beautiful. She sounded so confident and it wasn't just another cut and paste "duet". (Sunday 22 February 2015; 18:40)
Booty? (50,338)
by Liz Archer from Sweden
I am sorry but since when has booty anything to do with a singing career? No, what Mariah needs if anything is trying a new style and new type of songs. She needs to be more real and less unattainable in her appearance. I don't know exactly what that would be but she needs to change her game. (Sunday 22 February 2015; 17:28)
MIAM / the boot talk (50,337)
by Marcus from Brazil
MIAM, the booty talk is all sarcasm and for laughs. Don't take it seriously. (Sunday 22 February 2015; 17:25)
More #1's (50,336)
by T from USA
Out of these #2/#3 songs (Can't Let go, Without You, Loverboy, Shake It Off) I wish at least Without You went to #1, for me it's an honorary #1 hit (especially since it went to the top spot in the UK). I think that would've been a good addition to her Billboard #1's. I would've like Loverboy as well, not because I think it's a great song but lots of #1's aren't great songs. But I do think it would've lessened her big failure that year. I was sure Shake It Off was going #1. I also think her label (and herself) missed a huge opportunity with #Beautiful. She had American Idol. She should've booked a performance with Miguel during one live broadcast at least. I wish she milked that show more for the single because it might be Mariah's last chance at a hugely popular song. (Sunday 22 February 2015; 16:34)
Booty (50,335)
by Otti from Belgium
What you all talking about? Mariah did it before "the booty" thing. She did it in "Honey", "Heartbreaker", "Touch my body" in a sexy way, not vulgar like we see these days. Music videos remind me now of adult movies. And Mariah doesn't need surgery on her "booty". She has already her curves. She is not Taylor Swift. (Sunday 22 February 2015; 14:37)
New booty, really? (50,334)
by MIAM from United Kingdom
I've been coming on this site for years but I've never posted anything before but, reading all this "new booty" talk has annoyed me very much, with people actually saying/thinking she's going to have it done and supporting it. Do you really believe all the "rumors" you hear about her? I mean really, Mariah Carey with butt implants? Don't be so silly, she would not do that to herself and as fans you should know that about her. And if you haven't noticed yet, she doesn't need any enhancement in that area. (Sunday 22 February 2015; 11:37)
Get Me Off This Label albums (50,333)
by B from USA
I was like "Get me off this label". I couldn't take it. The situation there (Sony) was becoming increasingly difficult. I think the situation at IDJ was becoming increasingly difficult. At least Mariah delivered musically on both of her Get Me Off This Label albums. Especially, MIAMTEC. The changes that happened at IDJ happened after the release #Beautiful so whoever took over obviously didn't have faith in Mariah or her body of work. Probably an exec that thinks Rhianna makes the best music ever. (Sunday 22 February 2015; 2:17)
Mariah Carey (50,331)
by B from USA
Mariah Carey should have more than 18 #1's. She has so many great songs. She's still capable of writing a great song. She'll be back at #1. Bet on it. She's Mariah Carey, it's what she does best. I'm listening to The One from Charmbracelet and it's one of my favorites. It should have been the second single (or first). It was going to be then the label or Mariah decided to release Boy (I Need You). She should have released The One with a radio edit and remixes with resung vocals. It reminds of Usher's Confessions. (Sunday 22 February 2015; 2:05)
More #1s for MC (50,330)
by andy from philippines
It' very frustrating that MC should have more #1s than The Beatles, but unfortunately these singles: 1. Can't Let Go #2 (1 week), unable to manage to #1 because Sony pulled out the single before it gets to #1 because of low sales of Emotions blocked by All For Love - Color Me Badd. 2. Endless Love #2 (1 week), the single release is disastrous, they released it while Boyz II Men is having a smooth run to #1 for 12 weeks. 3. Without You #3 (6 weeks), blocked by Ace Of Base and Celine's single, if this song went to #1 that time MC should've 2 #1s in an instant because it was double sided with Never Forget You. 4. I Still Believe #4 (2 weeks), high sales but poor airplay during that time. 5. Loverboy #2 (2 weeks), another high sales but poor airplay scenario for MC, very frustrating because this single named as the Best Selling Single of 2001, blocked by D's Child - Bootylicious, MC should've #1s from 90-01 the longest streak of all. 6. Shake It Off #2 (7 weeks), the most frustrating of all, if they released it a little bit late I think this will reach #1 for at least 1 week, right after WBT and before Kanye his run for #1.

Edward you are so right (50,329)
by Lamb_O_Chop from Australia
If Mariah wants to compete with the girls she definitely should step her booty game up. A prime example of the power of booty is Nicki Minaj Anaconda single cover, it worked wonders for her career. Why wouldn't Mariah do something as innovative as that or J. Lo's song entitled. You guessed it "Booty" so many views on Vevo I've lost track, and we certainly can't forget "Ms Break The Internet" herself the dashing Kimberly West. Do what is Mimi waiting for? Go ahead and pump that booty girl and watch the hits pump out. (Sunday 22 February 2015; 1:24)
To Edward (50,328)
by Orkun from The Netherlands
Edward, I just finished counting. In your messages, you said "booty" eleven times. If you say it 2 more times, you'll tie Rihanna. Just being silly. (Saturday 21 February 2015; 22:04)
Re: new booty / (50,314) by Edward (50,327)
by Dove from USA
Edward, you're funny. As I was reading your comment I could picture cartoon Mariah bouncing up the charts on her new basketball booty. (Saturday 21 February 2015; 20:53)
Honey as a torch song (50,326)
by Warrior Butterfly from USA
Someone here made a list of torch songs. I was thinking what if Mariah converted "Honey" in to a torch song, slowed it down and gave it some depth, that would be cool. Kind of like when Molly Ringwald jazzed up "Don't You (Forget About Me)". (Saturday 21 February 2015; 19:10)
Ardis / imperfections (50,325)
by Edward from USA
Ardis, you would be surprised at the many doors a booty could open for an artist these days. I agree with you about the rest though. When Destiny's Daughters released "Bootylicious", their popularity went up by 60%. 20% of that was due to the exposure of the booty on its respective video. (Saturday 21 February 2015; 18:13)
Deedre and TheVoice / the booty (50,324)
by Edward from USA
Don't you guys agree that a bigger booty would expose Mariah to a wider audience? To see it, you'd have to visualize it, and see the booty for what it is, on its own merits. Then mentally attach it to Mariah, and you'll see what I'm talking about. When she got her new boobs her popularity went up by 20%. Can you imagine what a new booty could do? Deep song titles with meaningful lyrics like "The Power of the Booty", "Touch My Booty" or "Booty Up" would now come alive. The possibilities would be endless. It would really be interesting to see Aretha sing any of those songs with the word "Booty" in the title, just like she sung "Touch My Body" before. I swear this is my last post addressing the booty. (Saturday 21 February 2015; 17:53)
Bigger booty? (50,323)
by Ardis Logic from Earth
Not sure this story is true or not. I would encourage MC to learn to love herself as she is, instead of trying to alter her body. Exercise is great. There is nothing hotter that a body that is toned, inshape, and healthy. Too many people these days are so eager to change their own natural beauty. They dye their hair, wear push up bras and padded underware, shave their eye brows off to paint them on, plastic surgery, high heels, and colored contacts. Mostly because of what we see on tv and movies. Everyone is beautiful in their own special ways. If you can learn to love yourself naturally as you are you will win in more ways than one.

Marissa, thank you for the "Hide YouTube Comments" app tip. RJJ12 and Mara, I'll go harder on Sunday but I'll try to pray a little every day. (Saturday 21 February 2015; 15:43)
Instead (50,321)
by B from USA
Instead of getting butt implants Mariah should get a breast reduction. Her boobs make her look top heavy. She should go back to how she looked during the Butterfly era. (Saturday 21 February 2015; 14:19)

by enwar00 from usa
I've been sick for a week and a half with a lingering cold, finally feeling well enough to go out tonight, and after dinner now I'm at my favorite martini bar, where one drink gets you buzzed, and they're playing this. It's a good night and I needed it. I need it need it need it. I just thought I'd share with the MCA lambily. Cheers to the freaking weekend. (Saturday 21 February 2015; 5:02)
