Bill from UK (51,368) by enwar00 from usa Thanks for the link to those reviews. It was an entertaining read. I've only been on that site once before. (Saturday 4 April 2015; 3:57)

Greed is a hell of a drug (51,367) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Dear B, whether or not the book is ever published is almost irrelevant. The mere fact that the libellous treatment/synopsis is in the press undisputed is enough leverage for blackmail. Notice how all the false nasty rumours that's been put out about Mariah from circa 2011 until now are all being corroborated by Thirsty. What are the odds? At some point It became very obvious every single malicious attack of Mariah's character has been a tactic employed by the narcissist because he was building a case as far back as her pregnancy to get out of the marriage with maximum gains. There have been negative blind items floating around on websites and forums for years about Mariah where Thirsty always managed to remain untouched. Apart from that ridiculous planted story of him being some sort of drug kingpin that he only threw out there to divert attention from himself as the sourse gossiper. He's a manipulative and soul less creature IMO and I hope Mariah plays him out of any settlement because he's shown he's nothing but a bottomless pit when it comes to money. Someone who has no honour or any real human weaknesess or vulnerabilities can not be trusted to know right from wrong, let alone do right by his children's mother. He's a liar and a cheat and I despise the way he keeps emphasising how he will always be family, like it's a threat. With all that said, now we know why Thirsty insisted on those horrible children's books: subterfuge, deflection and leverage in the divorce. (Saturday 4 April 2015; 3:30)

Stay the night (51,366) by Abraham from USA I love this song. I've been playing it over and over. The lyrics and vocals on this track are amazing. I really hope Mariah will have a song this great on her next album. A song with awesome lyrics and her just singing her heart out. (Saturday 4 April 2015; 2:05)

I told you so (51,365) by Travon..SweetSweetFantasy from USA I was the first person to take issue with fans and the media criticizing Mariah all the time on this post. Some of you here never gave her a break and are always impatiently wanting her to do things differently. You expect too much. Now you're complaining because she is too quiet. The woman is sad and she is creating a wall to deflect people hurting her. I grew up insecure just like Mariah. I can relate to how she feels when life becomes unfortunate. What is happening to her, I believe, is that she feels she can no longer please. She wants to please all but people bash her and are constantly creating a fence for her to overcome. Those who are insecure naturally lack confidence. We put a happy face and only trust those who are close. When those who we love hurt us, we recluse and hold it in. We also become quiet until we are ready. Waiting is ideal for her as a human being but she is different from me, in the aspect that she is a public entertainer and never has the freedom to have emotion without backlash. I would appreciate it if people here stop complaining so much about her taking time off and just be happy she is still in the business after 25 years. Also we need to stop constantly bashing her. Don't you dare try to use the "it's not bashing we can say whatever because you are not realistic and you're too positive" speech. That saying only works if you are not usually a complainer. Some of you seem like you could careless 7/24/365. Save it. (Saturday 4 April 2015; 1:28)

The Carey/Cannon juxtaposition (51,364) by Andrew from UK Many of you are showing yourself as quite substantially and frighteningly unbalanced in your attitude toward Mariah through the Nick Cannon topic. "Nick is this evil thing, Nick is that evil thing." I never liked the guy because he acts like a child. His referring to her as "my wife" and not by the pronoun the entire globe knows her as told me a lot about him. However, he is the father of her children. She has not bad-mouthed him and I don't recall his doing so of her either. Mariah is a singer, not a religion, not a god you must defend blindly and attack all those of whom it is even merely suggested may not think her the second-coming and Mary-Poppins-practically-perfect. Sanity and reason ebb away here. So Nick divorced her. It is very possible that her actions contributed to the end of the marriage. But you'll never know if he was the sole wrong-doer or not. I think some of you actually believe Mariah to be an innocent victim of everyone ever in her life. It's probably not true. And note: this isn't an attack on her. This is a defence of reasonable approach. (Saturday 4 April 2015; 1:08)

He whose name I will never speak again (51,363) by B from USA If this is true I hope the book never gets published. He's tarnished Mariah's career and reputation enough. He only married her because she's Mariah Carey. He cheated on her? Is he stupid? Deaf, dumb, and blind? Mariah Carey is beautiful and she's the best singer songwriter producer in the business. (Saturday 4 April 2015; 0:37)

Love Hangover/Heartbreaker (51,362) by Luke from United Kingdom I'm ashamed to say I never knew this existed haha. This is amazing. She needs to bring out upbeat songs again like this, Dreamlover and YDKTD. I hope she does for the next #1's album, especially since it's summer soon. (Friday 3 April 2015; 21:58)

Record reviews (51,361) by Bill from the UK I've long been a fan of the Wilson & Alroy Record Reviews website. They cover all Mariah's albums and even her maxi singles. It's a great read, but be warned, they don't appear that keen on fan favourite Butterfly but really rate Daydream and Rainbow and others. Check it out. (Friday 3 April 2015; 21:05)

Nick pathetic (51,360) by NHYTG from nyc I think a man who wants big money from his ex-wife after a divorce is pathetic, so that's how I feel about this loser. He got a career thanks to being Mister Carey, he should be thankful. At least the world will know what his "love" for Mariah was all about, the good life and big money. Sad guy, I think in a few years we will read that his children haven't seen him in years. I hope one day he will be ashamed of himself, maybe one of his children will once tell him he should be. (Friday 3 April 2015; 20:38)

MC (51,359) by MIAM from United Kingdom I hope when Mariah does finally come back and release this new cd with the Vegas shows and everything else, it will shut a lot of us up in so many ways. I hope she does anyway because all this speculating we are doing is frustrating and we as fans don't all have the exact same vision of her and won't agree with each other on certain things. We know she can make unexpected returns and shock us, so I hope that is exactly what is going to happen. And the whole Nick revealing stuff in a tell all book, he has never bad mouthed her and has said he has the utter most respect for her no matter what they will always be family, so I doubt he will have anything negative to say about her in a book. (Friday 3 April 2015; 20:21)

Vegas (51,358) by SM from Citizen of the World I think it would be so amazing if Mariah opened the Vegas show with the Fantasy original version and not the remix. I think that would be a great starter. (Friday 3 April 2015; 20:12)

Mariah isn't heavy (51,357) by SM from Citizen of the World Have any of you guys gone swimming with a full body suit? I have, and I am a size small and once you're wet and to be photographed your body looks bloated from being wet and not dried off. And I looked like a size large. I don't think Marian's appearance should worry anyone. (Friday 3 April 2015; 18:46)

Book deal (51,356) by THE TRUTH from USA Let's try to take our rose colored glasses off. The deal is a reality and Nick will not deny it because he can not. The deal was done several weeks ago and was supposed to be kept under wraps but an investigative reporter uncovered the story and ran with it. Anything Nick says to try to negate the existence or scope of his book deal will affect his relationship with S&S and he doesn't want that. He was hoping to collect his money from the settlement before any announcement of hid book deal but now that ship has sailed. Love to see him try to lie and back pedal his way out of this one. (Friday 3 April 2015; 18:42)

Re: Randy (51,355) by MimiLamb from Germany I agree with you on the most part, but how do you know Mariah didn't try to work for her marriage or fight for it? We don't know how long the marriage was bad or how long the both of them tried to work it out, I don't think it's fair to say that Mariah didn't try to save it. I don't believe all the gossip, Nick didn't say a bad thing and I don't think he will. There are two people so the both of them have a responsibility when it comes to the marriage, the divorce and the children. (Friday 3 April 2015; 17:44)

Lee TS (51,354) by ktktkt from Philippines I can't believe they fared better than me. I was born in 86 and definitely a 90's kid. What I only got right was the first song and of course Mariah Carey, though some songs are familiar. Lol I will for sure to get 100% if there's a quiz bee about Mariah songs. (Friday 3 April 2015; 17:43)

Re: Nick etc. (51,353) by Shezz from Pk I agree that everything we read about Nick should not be believed and I do think he will respect the mother of his children. However, it amazes me with how much certainty you say Randy that she should have tried to work it out for her kids as if you know for a fact that she didn't. As for Mariah's physical appearance right now, she clearly looks much better when she makes a public appearance. Yes she is not nearly as fit as she has been for whatever reason but expecting her to look magazine ready when she's being photographed unknowingly on a very private vacation is a tad bit ridiculous. Appreciating her regardless and failing to tap into the depths of one's negativity does not make you an "enabler" or a "blind lamb". (Friday 3 April 2015; 16:47)

Randy (51,351) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I respect your opinion so I won't try to make you change it. But I will not blame Mariah for leaving Nick just because she has abandonment issues and thus shouldn't put her kids through it. Let me first get to Nick. While I completely agree with you that it is quite possible that it is yet a tabloid made up story and Nick isn't writing a book, but that doesn't change the fact that Nick has always been known as a cheater. He cheated on his ex-girlfriends, heck he broke off his engagement to Selita at the first opportunity when MC came to his life. So I will not find it hard to believe that he cheated on Mariah too. So MC doesn't need to stay in a relation where her husband is fooling around and also at the same time talking about extremely private matters so publicly for the world to hear, when he knows very well that MC has always remained close mouthed about her life. Just because a person appears funny and friendly on TV doesn't mean he is the same behind closed doors. I think we have seen enough examples of that in Hollywood and in real life. As for her abandonment issues, that's the not the only reason she had a messed up childhood. Many other factors played in here. Her father leaving was not the only reason she has issues. Plus the world is really advanced now, kids are dealing with divorces all the time. So yes, while kids should be taken into consideration, but if your partner has no respect for your privacy and is possibly cheating on you then there is no reason to stay. A relationship is based on trust and respect. When both are not there, the relationship crumbles. Staying in it will be more unhealthy than getting out. The trust has been gone for a while now it seems because when Barbara Walters asked her if she trusts Nick, she said "sometimes". So yup, I don't know what happened between the two, but judging from Nick's past record and his big mouth, I guess we can put 2 and 2 together and figure out why she possibly decided to walk out. And I am sorry but why does MC have to be the only perfect parent? Nick is getting twerked on by girls, since news broke of them breaking up, Nick has been seen dating half a dozen girls. One needs to give respect to get respect. Nick doesn't deserve it. So no his "fun and friendly" persona is probably just for the cameras. I have personally seen many people who are loved everyone else, but only the people at their homes know their real faces. (Friday 3 April 2015; 16:37)

Censoring (webmaster play fair please) (51,348) by MIAM from United Kingdom Some of the things that get censored on here are so silly and makes it difficult for others reading to properly understand the posts. I got censored for repeating a few things other people on here had already said but they didn't get censored when they said it. Double standard much? [Webmaster: Every insult of Mariah will get censored. If sometimes I forget to censor an insult, I apologize.] (Friday 3 April 2015; 10:39)

Mariah Carey: the contemporary Unplugged (51,346) by radhames from Curacao Mariah, MTV and YouTube (or maybe with Tidal, depens on their by-then status) do a kind of joint venture-ish something. Like a new concept. And market like it's the Super Bowl. With some great sponsers so live viewers can win amazing traveling deals. And sing with her natural voice, no backing track. She, her mic, the band and the backup singers. Eventualy the choir may also present. The real voice: Mariah Carey. (4.7 octaves with 5 songs.) What do you guys think? (Friday 3 April 2015; 9:45)

Nick (51,345) by Randy from USA I'm sorry. I just can't side with most of you on Nick. Here's what I think. Mariah is intelligent enough to have not married someone who would try to make a buck off of her and tell her secrets. I've watched dozens of interviews with him and he seems like the nicest most fun-loving guy and that's what she fell in love with. He has said repeatedly, he is not going to bad mouth the mother of his children and he hasn't. I don't believe he wants any money from her. I don't believe any of this tabloid trash. I do believe this divorce is taking a long time. I do wonder why. But to me both of them have been pretty silent and he's done quite a few interviews since the split. Watching from the sidelines, it seems he was too playful and too revealing in interviews and she decided to get out. That's fine however, it kinda upsets me she didn't try to work things out since she has enough songs to fill a whole album about her father's abandonment and other family issues. She should want better for her twins. Anybody else agree with me? If I'm wrong, then I would definitely feel bad about saying this. (Friday 3 April 2015; 9:22)

New manager suggestion (51,344) by 123 from USA Mariah Carey should have Guy Oseary be her new manager. He has Madonna everywhere, collaborating with the right people on award shows, a week on Ellen performing new songs from the album. I know what some might be thinking, it would conflict with him being a manager with Madonna and wouldn't have time to handle Mariah. He also has Alicia Keys as one of his clients and he has her recording a new album and got her and Madonna a spot as part owners of Tital. (Friday 3 April 2015; 9:00)

Nick, weight (51,343) by Stacey from USA Wow, what a low-life. What's even worse is now there are kids involved. With TM, there were no kids involved. Sure, he was her boss for a few years after the divorce, tough years, but once she moved on from Sony, that was it. This time, however, for the sake of the kids I hope NC grows up. He's their father and regardless of how we feel about the guy, those kids need a dad. If he does publish a book, I hope MC's team takes him to town for defamation. As someone who has struggled with weight the past 15 years (I'm at a healthy weight, 30 lbs lighter than before my three kids thank you very much), this discussion hits close to home. For me, I want MC to be healthy. She doesn't have to be a size 6 to wow audiences. When MC dresses right and wears clothes that flatter her figure, she looks gorgeous. I find it funny this discussion comes up after she wears a wetsuit. Hello people, something like that is going to show all your curves, especially curves that come after having kids. Trust me, I've got the hips too, lol. To me this discussion is so over. Let MC be. She's not going to let herself go, especially before a big run of shows in Vegas. As long as she is eating right and exercising, like I do, she'll be just fine. Let the weight issue go. (Friday 3 April 2015; 8:05)

Difficult to read (51,342) by Marcel from Montréal, Canada Daily Mail isn't exactly trustworthy but ocassionally they write a real note but slightly exagerated lol. What gets me curious is why is MC always that afraid of what people has to say about her? It isn't nice that someone spills out your dirty nasty things or even lies, but she used to know by being a public person she did put herself in that possition. I don't believe this rumor and surely her lawyers will again stop that from happening. After visiting the 7 temples I wanted to read and it was a hard task to do: almost all of the interesting posts, like Andrew's were full of censored phrases and that's a pity because Eric I guess you're going a bit too far with your censoring, you even censored my word "management". I wrote mngmnt team but, what's the point? By the way, I am sorry that due to this messageboard's censoring I won't be able to let Abraham know what uses to go up my places. Sorry Ab, you'll have to keep on yearning to eventually get to get one, even if you'd have to pay for it. Maybe that's what you need in order to stop being that annoyingly "positive" and start facing reality. (Friday 3 April 2015; 7:40)

Mariah doesn't care (51,341) by Rene from US I do agree with some of you of how Mariah Carey doesn't care. She has not recorded music in a while. She has not toured at all. She has not appeared in any of the day shows. She is not doing anything special for her 25th anniversary that marks her career. It's like she has sang herself into oblivion. Newsflash: The ones that don't care are these individuals who pretend to be fans. How pathetic to troll on this website and criticize Mariah so harshly. I want to see you guys flashing your stomachs to see how fit you are. If you don't like her, move on. Some of you sound like children wanting a perfect little Barbie to look at. (Friday 3 April 2015; 6:48)

Positivity and honesty (51,340) by Ardis Logic from Earth I stick by my original post, and obviously many here agree with me. If you don't agree, that is fine too. I am not an enabler by the way. If you read my posts from the past you will see that I have also showed tough love to Mariah. I will continue to bring the positivity and honesty. "They can say anything they want to say, try to bring me down, but I will not allow, anyone to succeed hanging clouds over me, and they, can try hard to make me feel that I, don't matter at all, but I refuse to falter in what I believe or lose faith in my dreams. Because there's a light in me, that shines brightly. They can try, but they can't take that away from me." (Friday 3 April 2015; 4:42)
