Where are Dembabies? (50,158) by Lee TS from USA I remember a lamb here posting about Dembabies being kind of MIA from social media, thinking maybe one of the conditions of the divorce is that neither parent are allowed to expose them. They have been noticeably absent especially during the holidays. Miss seeing their cute little faces. (Sunday 15 February 2015; 5:45)

Edward / Monark (50,157) by Abraham from USA I like your presence too. And I enjoy reading your posts. But me and Orkun have already gone back and forth with each other. He was the only person here on the board that I didn't like. But then Andrew came along. Monark, I don't remember addressing you. Matter of fact I've never even seen you before.

I Wish You Well (50,155) by Taylor from USA In light of the current situation that Mariah is going through and the nature of the discussions on this forum, this song is ever as poignant as when it was first released. It is songs like this that Mariah has earned my respect and loyalty as a fan and as a fellow human being. If you listen more closely to the lyrics, they are very fitting of what is going on in Mariah's life as well as the dynamics of the posts on here. I hope we all hold onto the faith and love for Mariah, despite all the negativity. We are not foolish lambs like some may suggest, but are soldiers, and a warrior like Mariah is only as victorious as her army. Let's soldier on. (Sunday 15 February 2015; 4:47)

Abraham (50,154) by Monark from Australia That's real mature of you Abraham. (Sunday 15 February 2015; 4:18)

Andrew, have a seat... in the corner (50,153) by Taylor from USA If you cannot carry on a debate or a conversation without debasing or minimizing another person's opinion by attacking their style or manner of communication, I strongly suggest you follow your own advice and leave this post. Once again, you reacted to my words in a hostile manner by ridiculing my language much like how you ridicule everyone else whom you disagree with. To clarify your curiosity, I am well-read and well educated to employ words that fully convey meanings without resorting to the elementary tantrum you throw around here. I don't have to try to sound smart, but rather reasonable so that you would perhaps understand. Unfortunately, your level of comprehension proved your shortcomings because your only tactic of response entails hostility, name-calling, and ridiculing. You are no better than a child who throws himself onto the floor for attention only to find himself banished to the corner. That is exactly what the webmaster here has done. When you can come to me with the maturity and mutual respect of an adult, then you may address me directly. Until then, perhaps you should find a dictionary and a thesaurus so you can communicate in the intelligent manner that is worth my time as well as the time of all the respectful people on this forum.

Orkun / Game of Thrones (50,152) by Edward from USA Orkun, I thought your post was great and well intentioned. As for Abraham, I'm sending Shelly to give him a big hug, he won't be able to resist. Abraham, we have disagreed in the past, but I also like your presence on this board. Remember one thing though, that Eric, the webmaster and Orkun are both from the Netherlands, they might even be cousins. Don't mess with him. (Sunday 15 February 2015; 3:33)

Andrew and the wrath of the lambs (50,151) by Edward from USA Andrew, thanks for understanding that Shelly wasn't patronizing you, but rather being honest and caring. You only have to see her picture to know she's a sweetheart, I don't know why she keeps switching it. I've been as frustrated as you are right now, but always thought things would change, that the voice would somehow improve if she rested it for 20 years plus sleeping in a humidifier chamber, but now I'm just realistic to know that it could improve to be just consistent, but that's enough for me. Mariah has gotten a wake up call, she knows that "those days of dubbing are gone", but her time might not actually be through just yet. Now we only have wait and see if she got the memo. I know many people loathe you here, but I actually like you because I see myself in you, but way back then when I first saw my idol gasping for air while trying to sing a song she could sing before effortlessly while running on a treadmill with her high hills on. Just tone it down a little bit, and know that Eric should be addressed with respect. He's kept this website up and running for 17 years for us to vent. "Dude" is not a bad word, but in the context you used it, I think it wasn't appropriate. Before I get accused of professing my love to you, I'll say: keep on posting. (Sunday 15 February 2015; 3:17)

[...] (50,150) by JCV from California I know this message board is for Mariah, but I wanted to send a special message to my wife Giannina and let her know I love her with everything I got and I want to declare it here that I am going to make her the happy Lambily she was once. She is the best and biggest part of my life and I wouldn't want to go ahead without her this year will be our 16 year anniversary and were only 30 years old, I'm fighting back tears as I type this thinking about all the joy and happiness she has brought to my life, I hope we can still grow old together and can't wait to be the man I know I can be and that you deserve. My wife is one of the biggest Mariah Carey fans, she met Mariah at the Nokia center in LA when Mariah had a private concert for American Idol when she was a host. We already have tickets for Mariah in Vegas art Caesar's palace. I want everyone to know including Mariah how much Giannina loves Mariah Carey and it's not just the music. Mariah even posted one of my wife's pictures from her Instagram. Thank you all for giving me this chance. On behalf of me and my wife, we love you Mariah. (Sunday 15 February 2015; 3:11)

Orkun (50,148) by Abraham from USA Well nobody asked for your vote. (Sunday 15 February 2015; 1:10)

Topic Andrew / Shelly / GG (50,147) by Orkun from The Netherlands I just had to write. I've never been offended by any of his posts personally and I think they are valuable. His style is debatable for sure but so is mine, or any other's. I agree with GG that the "uber-positiveness" is far more annoying when it's blindly penned. I think by now we know that Shelly is a sweatheart and indeed is pure. To me, Andrew is equally pure and his anger towards MC is justified. It's Mariah for God's sake and when she is on fire, she really is on fire. If Mariah is reading the messageboard, Andrew's posts are the ones she needs to read too. It's not hating on MC. It's tough love. Which still is "love". He may be harsh at times, I'm not defending that. But I'm not criticizing it either. He keeps it fresh and dynamic. It's so clear that he is musical, he hears details most don't hear musically. That's my 2 cents and I hope we can all get along on here. My vote? I hope Andrew keeps posting.

#1's CD in May? (50,146) by Luis from Spain I have read some messages hinting at the possibility that the newly-updated One's may be released in May to coincide with her opening night. Is this true? As far as I'm concerned, she just confirmed the compilation on Ellen and through a press release but I took for granted that November would be the release month. Thoughts? (Sunday 15 February 2015; 0:42)

Shelly (50,145) by Bill from the UK Shelly, you are such a beautiful soul. (Sunday 15 February 2015; 0:19)

Shelly (50,144) by Andrew from UK Shelly, to you I apologise. Though I don't like your delivery, as much you don't like mine, your intention was nothing but honest and pure, it would seem on reflection, and perhaps not draped in the sentiments I despise. And in the light of further guns firing in Europe, I must concede that yours is an enlightenment that deserves to be considered. I regret the things I said to you. I'm so damn angry with MC. And I have tried to just post points and not react. I'm now thinking perhaps I should just let it all go. The art of which I'm going to have to learn. I mean it when I say I'll let this go, I don't think I'm going to change anything and I should accept the inevitable. And soon I shall stop posting I guess. If not now. I dunno. But, girl, you got class, and I regret my response. I stick by my points. But your ground is high. (Saturday 14 February 2015; 23:38)

Andrew (50,143) by G.G. from USA I find the delusional, enabling "Mariah is still a great vocal performer and her stage performances are great" comments far more annoying than anything Andrew has posted. I don't agree with everything he says, but at least there is some truth in his posts. (Saturday 14 February 2015; 23:00)

Album art (50,142) by NYHotShotta from USA Anybody knows who was the photographer who shot the Me... I Am Mariah album artwork? [Webmaster: If you bought the album, you knew who it was: Thomas Whiteside.] (Saturday 14 February 2015; 21:47)

Andrew (50,141) by Dove from USA Andrew, I felt inspired to write that message to you last night but I almost didn't post it because I knew it would make me look crazy. I posted it anyway because I felt maybe it was a message you needed to hear right now. I wasn't trying to offend you. Sometimes you have good points but your delivery makes you come off as angry and bitter. As a fellow human I don't like seeing you consumed by negativity. (Saturday 14 February 2015; 21:32)

Mariah after Vegas (50,140) by Bill from the UK I kind of see 2015, Mariah's 25th year of making beautiful music, as a celebratory affair with the new #1's album and the Vegas shows (and hopefully more Christmas concerts at the end of the year). As for the future, one thing I've always wanted Mariah to do, and something I feel she would do well, is to completely write and produce an album by herself. It may take a while for her to put it together, but I loved when she self-produced tracks like Vanishing and Melt Away. They were standouts on their respective albums and remain, in my opinion, real highlights from her catalogue. I don't believe Mariah's ever written a song completely by herself, except interludes, but I think she can do it and would do it well. Even if she "sings" the instrumentation and gets somebody to copy it on the respective instrument, it could work. Something that is completely 100% her would be a real treasure for me. (Saturday 14 February 2015; 20:34)

Webmaster (50,139) by Andrew from UK Why did you censor the word "dude"? It's mostly a term of endearment. I didn't come here to annoy anyone although I see I do. You'll notice I post and then people bring me up and force a response. As I'm sure they will to this. I came here to try to convince people to debate reality and tell it like it is. I said a while ago that the current situation would happened and, perhaps a little arrogantly, I know what will happen next. As do many others. But I read messages about how perfect she is and what a nasty man I am. Like I said, you don't want me here so I won't be here. I have respect, believe it or not. But I can't stress enough, even in my absence, the debate needs to move forward to make MC listen. Maybe my delivery is harsher than most. I think it's because I care the most. I don't hate her, I love her more than I love sunny summer days lol. If you don't want me to post anymore then cool. You'll miss me as much as I will miss grimacing as the page loads to see who hates me at any given time. Thunder absolutely must precede sunlight. But we must surely affect how much it rains in the meantime. Much love. (Saturday 14 February 2015; 20:16)

Andrew (50,138) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands You still don't get it. It's not your opinion that bothers the most of us, but the way and frequency you present your opinion. And no, you're not the only one who thinks Mariah needs some changes. Do your read other people's messages at all? Sometimes I think you only come here to annoy us. (Saturday 14 February 2015; 19:54)

(50,137) by Andrew from UK [censored] It's your website, if you don't want to post my messages don't post them. It's what most people want. Who'd have contrary opinions, eh? I'm not sure I have anything left to say, though. Little pointless. But ask yourselves this, and don't doubt for a second that Mariah comes here to read this stuff: is anyone telling her to stop, think and change? Isn't it your responsibility to help save this? I am genuinely concerned about the state she is in and how bad it's getting, and I read message after message telling her everything is great. It's on the edge of disaster with Vegas looming. But nobody will even contemplate telling her to not go through with it. Yet this is what she's always told, that's its all fine, and look what has happened. I mostly always ignore the messages directed at me personally. As someone said: "If you don't like his posts don't read them." However I grow exasperated that the one forum that might actually make Mariah think about her actions and her future is filled to the brim with fairytale endings and unicorns. I guess it's my problem. It is a wasted opportunity. This is a board for discussing which ensemble better suits the hair. I love Mariah Carey. I have loved her since I was ten years old. I can see where this is heading. I think I love her much more than you guys. But that's one I'm not fussed about winning. I love you all for loving Mariah. I just won't ever understand the manner in which you do it. Thunder precedes the sunlight. (Saturday 14 February 2015; 19:44)

Tobby on Lee Daniels directing MC's next video (50,136) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Who knows? I'm guessing the song would have to impact him on such a personal level Lee would be the one who offers to do it. I personally enjoy the videos Mariah directed or co-directed the most, especially during the Daydream/Butterfly eras. In any case Mariah is supposedly making an appearance on Empire, aside from that Elusive big blowup of her in an earlier episode, so I expect Lee will direct her in whatever projects he is involved in. But hey, why not her next music video? (Saturday 14 February 2015; 19:15)

All women on the new album (50,135) by Jonathan from United States I would really love to see Mariah do an entire album only with women from the writers to the musicians. She could work with some of the top women right now and someone who is a diva. I want her to write a song with Pink or Kelly Clarkson since they both look up to her and I know it might be far fetched but I want Mariah to write atleast one song by herself. I know she can't piano that well which is why she needs a cowriter but I want her just to try atleast once. (Saturday 14 February 2015; 19:10)

Complete VH1 countdown interview (50,134) by Chantel from usa Hello lambs. I am trying to track down a special interview with Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston. It's from 1998 for VH1 top ten countdown. I have seen several versions on YouTube but they are only clips of the full complete interview. I would love to have this interview. I have been trying to track it down for years. If anyone has it or knows where to find it please help. I am also willing to pay for it if that is requested. Thank you. . Also there is a version on YouTube uploaded by a user called "Whitney connection". That is not the full interview, it cuts off at the end. (Saturday 14 February 2015; 19:08)

B on McCartney, RiRi and Kanye's collabo (50,133) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End I agree 100% B. It's by design specifically to get a #1 song and propelling Rihanna closer to eclipsing Mariah's #1's but also Paul is a Beatle lest we forget. Billboard would change the rules for him if he actually manages to score a #1 song as a featured first. We all know it. But it's par for the course. Everybody wants to make history so I'm not mad. It's a very calculated move though and I'm personally kinda over the stunt collaborations that don't make sense musically. Mariah didn't ever have to resort to that for any of her #1's. Her collaborations were organic, based on mutual appreciation between artists and many times turned into true friendships. Look at Mariah's relationship with John Legend. She was championing him long before he was a mainstream artist. I hope he's joining her onstage in some capacity in Vegas. They have good chemistry. My point is, Mariah is really her own biggest competition. She has to beat her own record once before she even ties with the Beatles. It's gonna happen too. Just wait. Happy Valentine's Day MCA. You too Mimi. (Saturday 14 February 2015; 18:39)

Lee Daniels (50,132) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Someone posted here a while back that Lee Daniels tweeted MC will be on Empire? Does anyone have the conversation? I would love to see it. Lee already put up a huge beautiful picture of MC in one of the shots on Empire and it was featured prominently for quite a long time and if MC is actually on I would freak out. So can anyone copy paste the conversation? (Saturday 14 February 2015; 18:32)
