Randoms (52,046) by enwar00 from usa Bill that game was fun. I can't believe I got 2 wrong. How did you score? Btw I've meant to say I love your new avatar. Emotions is one of my favorite songs and videos. Marissa I've meant to tell you I dig your new old school avatar also. Baby what a coincidence, I just watched Almost Home earlier. I needed to feel how that song makes me feel after the day I had. I love that song. Dennis I agree with you, SIO would have been #1 if Gold Digger didn't sell like it did. It was behind it for like 6 weeks vs behind WBT for only 1. Jon and Randy my favorite performance of Vision Of Love is from the BET Blueprint. I just feel like she went off and was totally into it and that energy came across. Just thought I'd share. I hope everyone is having a blessed and or great weekend. (Monday 20 April 2015; 2:27)

Vegas (52,045) by Manny from U.S. I'm at Vegas this weekend. I thought I'd see billboards of Mariah outside of Caeser's hotel. The only place I saw a poster was at the actual ticket box, just outside the Colliseum. I have the poster on my avatar. They had an advertisement and a CD section at the Celine Dion store and that's it. I'm still excited though to come next month for the concert. (Monday 20 April 2015; 2:09)

#Beautiful (52,042) by B from USA #Beautiful featuring Miguel was played and is still played on the radio. The Clear Channel launch helped but #Beautiful succeed because it's one of Mariah's lead singles. I think #Beautiful is my best lead single since Honey. If she had promoted the hell out of it it would have been her 19th #1 but she didn't because of professional issue with IDJ and personal issues with Nick. The cracked ribs and shoulder and hand injuries also prevented her from doing promo. She gave a stunning live rendition of Looking In at the MLB charity event. (Monday 20 April 2015; 2:02)

Mariah on the message board (52,041) by Dennis from Miami, FL I wonder, does real Mariah have time to read or even to write on this message board? Whom she would be? Baby, you make me so confused, is it you? Janet spent months on forums during recording of Velvet Rope. (Monday 20 April 2015; 1:26)

Jon from the Netherlands (52,040) by Randy from USA No. Nowhere near her best. That was a good performance considering what she was giving at the time, but my criticism is that she was overly using her whistle register to hide the fact that she couldn't hit high full voice notes in the song. Her best live performances are: If It's Over (take your pick venue wise), Vanishing (again take your pick venue wise), any song sung at Madison Square Garden, any song sung at MTV Unplugged, any song sung in Japan in 1996 and that impromptu Jimmy Fallon concert for fans.

SIO (52,039) by Dennis from Miami, FL During TEOM era Mariah didn't sell as good as other artists in terms of digital singles. Kanye was huge that year. Gold Digger was downloaded 200-400k per week. SOI could't compete with that. It was mostly airplay single. About the radio, during Charmbracelet they used to talk the same. Radio is no longer supportive for the 90's divas.

Almost Home (52,038) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End The lyrics always, without fail, get me in my feelings. I really hope Mariah performs it in Vegas as an encore for at least one night. It's one of the best songs she has ever written. I really hope the video link works this time. Enjoy you all and be hopeful in your dreams. (Monday 20 April 2015; 0:13)

One more week (52,037) by Abraham from USA And we all get to hear Mariah's new single. I'm super excited. Come through Mimi and get your throne back. (Monday 20 April 2015; 0:00)

Bobbi Kristina is awake (52,036) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End I waited to post this song for this miracle of moments. Bobby Brown just told a whole crowd on stage and I am so grateful. This doesn't mean we stop praying you guys. I firmly believe it was all of us sending our love and well wishes that brought her back. One day Bobbi is gonna sing The Greatest Love Of All for all of us to hear and mean it. Amen. When you let your heart be the compass, you won't get lost not if you trust it. [...] (Sunday 19 April 2015; 22:45)

Is this Mariah's best performance? (52,035) by Jon from Netherlands Is this Mariah's best performance? (Sunday 19 April 2015; 22:12)

To pass a few moments until April 27 (52,034) by Bill from the UK To pass a few moments until April 27. (Sunday 19 April 2015; 21:55)

Infinity (52,033) by B from USA Based on the buzz surrounding this single/song it's a hit. Every single review, from the select few that have heard it, claim it's going to be her 19th #1. 2015 is the return of The Voice. I haven't been this excited about a lead single from a Mariah album since Touch My Body or It's Like That. Mariah is going to regain her throne and show her imitators they can imitate her but they will never be her. Sorry, Ariana. (Sunday 19 April 2015; 21:36)

Randy - BBRemix (52,032) by 123 from USA Randy, that version was not what I was talking about. It's still all laid back, it's missing the damn sample for most of the song, the chorus is half sung and blended with the bridge. That's nothing like I was talking about therefore why I didn't bother to mention that version. Ugh. Watch Kelly's performance, it's as close to what I'm hearing in my head as possible. Basically, I want the original version, original intro, after she hits the high note, ODB can do his intro afterwards and then she needs to start kicking in the shoo doo doo doo doo doo doo before he finishes and then start the verse. She can add his second rap after the bridge and continue with the original composition. Who cares if the song becomes 5 minutes long? Fantasy is an event. Basically, you can add on as much to the original as possible, just don't take anything away. (Sunday 19 April 2015; 21:23)

Mariah weekend (52,031) by enwar00 from usa I had a Mariah weekend. I watched her #1s on Vevo Friday night, listened to Glitter yesterday, and am now listening to Charmbracelet. Rainbow may be next. (Sunday 19 April 2015; 19:11)

Eight days (52,030) by B from USA Eight days until Infinity is released. The wait is killing me. I wish Mariah had a countdown on her official site for Infinity like she did for the album artwork. I've already ordered #1's To Infinity and tickets to her residency at The Colosseum in Las Vegas: Mariah Carey #1's. I looking forward to hearing her perform her 18 No. 1 singles. My first concert is a Mariah Carey concert. I'm so thrilled. Are any of you going to be at the Saturday May 9th concert? If so I'd love to meet you (Sunday 19 April 2015; 18:43)

E=MC2 (52,029) by John from USA I'm happy to see E=MC2 getting some love. It's in my top 3 favorite Mariah albums. I'm still not over that massive missed opportunity. If only she was as focused after TMB as she was during TEOM. I'm cautiously optimistic for her future, but I sometimes feel like E=MC2 was her last chance for an epic era. She had the TEOM afterglow, the general public was on her side, she was smoking hot, and radio was supportive (she was still under 40, we know how radio basically ignores women once they hit about 40 lol). And the album, while contrived, had the hits. Ugh I still get so mad thinking about it lol. (Sunday 19 April 2015; 18:11)

The 5 factor (52,028) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter 1995 - One Sweet Day (16 weeks at number 1), song of the decade. 2005 - We Belong Together (14 weeks at number 1), song of the decade. 2015 - Another hit? Come on Mariah take me higher. (Sunday 19 April 2015; 15:49)

TheOne (52,027) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter That is so sweet of you. Thank you so much for the compliment. And a belated welcome to the message board, I hope to read more of your posts in future. As for SIO, yes I know WBT was blocking SIO so SIO didn't get its chance and I also agree that had It been released a bt later, it definitely would have gone to #1. Nothing could have stopped it. Even Mariah knew that SIO was a hit because she said something like "no one could tell me that SIO wouldn't be my first single". But then they decided to start the era with a party mood and ILT was perfect for it. So yes. SIO and Migrate (had it gotten the single treatment) could have gotten MC 2 more #1's. I think any single from E=MC2 would have greatly benefitted from the huge boost of the success of TEOM, WBT and TMB. But then Mc decided to elope. Oh. The pain haha. But I am hoping for this year to be Mariah's year. (Sunday 19 April 2015; 15:30)

Ben / before vocals of AIWFCIY (52,026) by TheOne from Philippines Thank you so much for this. I've never heard this version before. This is very rare. (Sunday 19 April 2015; 15:03)

I hope / Nick (52,025) by George Golden from UK I hope Mariah's new single is not a "part 2" of any song please. If she is going to have another top ten it has to be something outside of the box. I know it's a hard thing for her and its frustrating. I hope it's a big uptempo number. Those bouncy rnb numbers while they are great don't really do much chartwise. I hope she has learnt her lesson. Meteorite was amazing but she didn't promote it. Almost Home was great and so beautiful. In fact the latter would have been a huge hit if the video wasn't so awkward. Nick Cannon should just go away. I know he has kids with Mariah but he is just a leach. Sorry guys. (Sunday 19 April 2015; 14:46)

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. (Sunday 19 April 2015; 12:37)

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)
