Wendy interview (49,849) by Raphael from Brazil Yes. I remember that I found it putting that "Long (> 20 minutes)" filter. Was definitely the Charmbracelet era. They talk about a lot of stuff, about the album Charmbracelet, about the breakdown, was something about sexism too and the fail of Glitter and was like a hour and a half.

Nathan (49,848) by Terna from Nigeria I applaud him for voicing his opinions and concern on Mariah Carey. He's just keeping it real and giving constructive critisism, while hinting it's a much talked about topic in the industry. I was so disappointed when I saw the clips of the Jamaican gig, like really? Is this the quality of performances you intend giving at Las Vegas? If yes then I'm afraid Mariah would be the first act ever to have thier Vegas residency terminated prematurely as a result of inconsistency and sloppiness. Now won't that be a shame? It's so tiring reading all the negative comments everytime Mariah performs. What happened to this woman? Her stage pressence, poise, confidence etc. Now its more about ensemles, hair, makeup, butterfly drinks, nail polish and all the crap I know for a fact didn't make me a fan and don't get me started on that crappy entourage she keeps around her full of "yes" people, who have gotten too familiar to even take their jobs seriously, anyone recall the ridiculous mixup when "The art of Letting Go" was released? Exactly my point. Get your sh*t together Mariah, you're beginning to piss off even your hardcore fanbase. (Friday 6 February 2015; 23:58)

Nathan (49,847) by Anonymous from I agree with Nathan. Having a "vocal rest" is not enough, you need to exercise your voice to keep it in a good shape, especially when you used it for so many years doing concerts, interviews, etc. I don't know if MC does that, I don't live in her house but it looks like she doesn't. I heard that Usher lost his voice at some point in his life, and he had to take some singing lessons to bringing it back. It's obvious that MC have lost some octaves and it must to be really frustating for her, but I hope that she can take concern, let her ego go and take some singing lesson to recover her power especially with the Las Vegas project, all the media will put their eyes in the first show. And they're not going to be nice if they find something bad in it. (Friday 6 February 2015; 23:51)

Nathan Morris (49,846) by Jamie from UK Well done Nathan. I'm a huge Mariah fan but she needs a wake up call. The people around her now are clearly not being honest with her. Trey Lorenz has known her the longest time yet he sits there watching her act the way she has been doing when he knew her from the early days and know that this behaviour is wrong. This is far more serious than the Glitter era. She needs to listen to Nathan's advice and hopefully those close to her will advise her so before something serious happens.

"Unclassy" (49,845) by G.G. from USA It's not classy for MC to show up late, lip synch poorly, have low budget stage production, and sound bad when she sings live. If Mariah still performed well, no one would be saying anything. Blame her, not others stating facts. (Friday 6 February 2015; 23:19)

Same interview (49,844) by May from Denmark Sorry I posted two links to the same interview. Here I leave this little throwback with Wendy Williams to make it up. The interview was hilarious, Raphael was it really Charmbracelet? I can't find absolutely anything related to those days with Wendy except just stuff that Wendy spew here and there but not with Mariah. (Friday 6 February 2015; 23:11)

Shelly / MAC (49,843) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I love MAC and I always longed for MC to do a collaboration with them. They come out with such amazing celebrity collaborations. MC is glamorous and beautiful and successful. I think she will be perfect. I mean they even had Sir Elton John and Ricky Martin do collaborations, so why not Mariah? I mean she obviously uses more makeup than Ricky and Elton. I love the special packaging they do for collaborations. Mariah's should be gold and classy. They usually include items in it that the celebrity wears most, so for Mariah I guess that would include an eyeshadow quad with gold, brown, black and taupe, then 2 lipsticks (pink and nude), 2 matching lipglosses, a pair of sexy lashes, sunkissed bronzer powder and a sweet pink blush. MAC would expose her to a new generation and also bring her to the attention of people who already knew her. They usually carry out big promotions for these and since Mac falls in the range between drugstore and high end, it is used by people from all age groups. Also why MC was never on Vogue baffles me. With her level of fame she should have been all over it. I am surprised she wasn't on it even in TEOM era when she was in all mags and she was in best dressed lists and she had Andre Leon by her side. (Friday 6 February 2015; 22:59)

Nate Morris (49,842) by Gilbert from USA Please disregard, as I was able to the article. (Friday 6 February 2015; 22:39)

Raphael / Marissa - Wendy interview (49,841) by May from Denmark Hi guys, I was also wondering about it as I wanted to know and found a clip uploaded by a Wendy fan (don't laugh, she does seem to have such things). It's a radio interview, I don't think she did a tv one with Wendy. That's from 2005 and then there is another one from the TEOM era. I should really sit through the whole thing and listen, as soon as the 2005 one started I crackled lol "Mimi is in the building and you can tell by all the slaves running around doing stuff." Wow, what a way to start an interview. I don't think I ever listened to that one before. So thanks for the heads up Raphael. (Friday 6 February 2015; 22:11)

Kevin Costner / Nate / Vegas (49,840) by Jenny from South Africa Actually Kevin said that he did reach out to Whitney and was told she had received his messages but she never replied to him. Moving onto Nathan Morris, I'm sad it's come to this stage where her friends feel like it's time to comment but I think he was very respectful and I think his intentions were good. I don't think he's just using her name for publicity. I think he wants to help her. I think Mariah might struggle the first few Vegas performances but she'll definitely get better as it goes on just like The Elusive Chanteuse tour. But definitely won't start as badly since she had bronchitis at that time. I think her voice is still there, she just needs to warm up properly and start rehearsing early so her voice is in good condition from the first show. (Friday 6 February 2015; 22:08)

Nate Morris (49,839) by Gilbert from USA Where can I find this comment he made? I want to go comment it and give him props because to me that is a true friend. (Friday 6 February 2015; 21:40)

Should Mariah have more Grammy Awards? (49,838) by Isabelle from USA Recently there was an "article" in Billboard where they compiled all the Grammy nominations in where Britney Spears has gotten. And has gotten me thinking about the 5 awards from 34 nominations Mariah has received. Which categories do the Lambily believe Mariah was completely deserved to win? And which albums and singles was she snub to get a nomination. I feel like she was snubbed to get a nomination for My All (live) for Best Pop Performance and Butterfly for Best R&B Album. (Friday 6 February 2015; 21:22)

Nate Boyz II Men (49,837) by NYHotShotta from USA I don't understand how some of you view Nathan's advice as "shady" or "slanderous" when he tastefully told the truth. He isn't messing up her Vegas show because no matter what condition her voice is in, some people don't care, they're still gonna attend. I think he is right, she needs to get back to the Mariah that used to record her demos in that make shift studio. The Mariah who practically begged her mother to give her vocal lessons. She should use these string of bad performances as inspiration to make her Vegas residency 10 times better than anything she's done recently. (Friday 6 February 2015; 20:52)

Nathan (49,836) by Otti from Belgium Today I saw on E. a little interview with Kevin Costner about the sudden death of the late Withney Houston, and he said things like, I was her bodyguard in the movie, I hold her hand, I had acces to her, and he continued to say that after The Bodyguard, he followed her traject on a distance. But he did not reach out to help her. What brings us to Nathan of Boyz II Men. I think he wants to help Mariah. He chooses this way, because I guess they are not in touch. Being a celeberty is not easy. They trust no one, have no inner peace, takes drugs, insecurities. I am sure if he had contact with her, he would not go in public. In the end, I think there's nothing wrong with his message on Facebook, although not worser than Mariah's latest performances. You can't compare Nathan with what Kelly Price said about MC. (Friday 6 February 2015; 20:50)

The delusion keeps on coming (49,835) by Marcus from Brazil When Mariah was being heavily vituperated for her Tree Lighting Christmas performance, for the delusional lambs it was ok that some celebrities publicly defended her, nobody complained stating they should've told her those positive things privately. Now Nathan gives an excellent constructive criticism to Mariah in the same way, publicly, and the delusional ones would've preferred for him to have called Mariah because he's messing with her by stating so in public. So, tell her the good things in public, and tell her the ones the delusional fans don't want to hear privately. Nathan has done what many of her colleagues, and real friends should be doing, being straight forward to Mariah in hopes that she listens. He is not messing up with her Vegas gig, he might actually be helping to save it. Since when does constructive criticism is considered to be a diss? Nathan is in a way voicing to her what we want her to be aware of. And no, the fact they might have sung a duet together doesn't mean these celebrities keep in touch with each other or have their latest cellphones and private phones to communicate with them at will, it is ridiculous. (Friday 6 February 2015; 19:29)

Nathan Morris (49,834) by Alex from United States I'm sorry but am I the only one who finds it highly unclassy for Nathan to post his criticism on social media? I wouldn't want my friends addressing me and my issues through social media. I do understand that we all care about Mariah and want her to be the best she can be but there is a fine line if you consider yourself a friend. How about pick up the phone and call her if you're a truly concerned friend. Negativity is negativity no matter how you cut it. Mariah hears us and she doesn't need fake D list celebs using her name to garner attention. (Friday 6 February 2015; 19:26)

Nate Morris on Mariah's voice (49,833) by Lamb_O_Chop from Australia Well atleast he was straight forward in his address to Mariah instead of just being messy and rude like Kelly Price. Nate's message was actually in good taste and respectable though I still cringe that it has come to Mariah's vocals/recent performances being publicly scrutinized by her musical peers. I understand that it's a hot topic so many will be asked their opinions. I just wonder how many of these people will actually reach out and try to help her though. It's real easy to point fingers and jump on the hot topic bandwagon, but the ones I'll really respect are the ones who actually help. Any who I still believe in Mariah, she's still an incredible artist and has a voice, hell the real tea is that even when she sounds halfway decent she slays many. Hopefully she'll come back swinging harder than ever and proves to the world what all of us that are still holding on are hoping for. (Friday 6 February 2015; 18:55)

Ty / Nathan Morris (49,832) by Marcus from Brazil Ty, how is Nathan being shady towards Mariah? Actually those are the types of friends that Mariah needs. He wasn't being disrespectful, he was giving her an honest opinion based on his experience. I bet Trey Lorenz would never tell her anything like that. Mariah has an instrument that is getting rusty and it needs oiling so it could perform consistently. I really appreciate his input in all this. (Friday 6 February 2015; 18:45)

Color Me Beautiful / MAC (49,831) by Dove from USA When I was in 6th or 7th grade, I bought a book from the 80's called Color Me Beautiful at a garage sale. It was dated, even by the time I got it, but still had valuable advice that I've used ever since to help me choose flattering clothes for myself. The book is about how certain colors make us look our best. I'm not sure what season Mariah is, her golden tan tricks me into thinking she's an autumn, like Beyonce, but I think she's actually a winter because she looks best in cool winter colors: blue/red, pinks, white, blues, black, etc. I liked the idea that MimiL suggested in post (49,760) about teaming up with MAC to develop her own make up line, with colors created to be flattering to her. They could have Gwen Stefani do another type of winter, Beyonce do an autumn, and other models or celebrities do spring and summer. When I was in high school I used to look through magazines and find a model with my coloring and copy their make up. This way consumers could find the celebrity with their coloring and buy from their line. I don't wear make up every day but when I do, it's MAC. MimiL, I've also always wondered why Mariah has never been on the cover of Vogue. (Friday 6 February 2015; 18:19)

Baby from Sweden (49,830) by JAXGH from United States What kind of insider knowledge do you need? Lmao. It's out. You don't need "access" or "insiders". You just need to have really good ears. It's been out. It's not a secret. Slander and defamation? For what? For being honest? He's not the only who knows it. Even if he gets sued, he will definitely win. Trey, Kelly, Walter, her music director, her pianist, her audio engineer, her band, her team, her back up singers know it. They all know it. Even a non fan knows Mariah's tricks and lip syncing. He didn't ruin her "reputation". Mariah ruined it herself. Nate knows how Mariah works, he's written, collaborated, sang with her. Hell he had even lip synced with her. He knows her personally and frankly he's a fan. And all fans know Mariah's lip syncing ways. He's not sabotaging nor ridiculing her. Nate addressed the issue because of Mariah being caught. Nate was direct and honest. He didn't say one mean word to Mariah, he actually helped her by giving a genuine advice which I'm sure he's done before for all the gimmick to stop. Sadly it has to come to the point where Mariah's lies are exposed and the whole world has to know. Nate is helping Mariah before she completely ruins her credibility as a live performer. Their shows aren't even on the same dates so this is not a "competition" issue but simply a friend caring and wanting a friend to stop her bad habits. (Friday 6 February 2015; 17:36)

Nathan (49,829) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I applaud his courage, because he risked losing his friendship with MC (she might not speak to him) and the wrath of lambs around the world. He risked being bombarded on social media by the fans. Yet he decided to speak up. Someone needed to. I don't know if Mariah reads our messages, we are basically unknown faces. But I think there is a chance Nathan's message may reach MC. Thing is if she takes this as a wake up call and turns her life around, she'll be the gainer. If she takes this as negativity and turns her back on him, only she'll be the loser. I do not take this as a sabotage attempt. Not in the least. Yes, like Shelly said, maybe he could have talked to her in private but I guess for some reason he thought this was the way he wants to go about it. For months now MC has been systematically tarnishing her own legacy. Why she is doing it is beyond me. But I hate to see her like this. I am glad that most people on this board agree with Nathan on this, instead of badmouthing him. Because honestly, there is no more time left to coddle Mariah anymore and expect she'll change her ways, it's time for some straight up conversation and Mariah has to confront her mistakes. (Friday 6 February 2015; 17:23)

Glitter (49,828) by Jon from Netherlands She recognised she regreted it for the longest time on the Breakfast Club last year. I always loved it. (Friday 6 February 2015; 17:16)

Lambs of Asia To The World press image (49,827) by Warrior Butterfly from USA I saw the "Lambs of Asia To The World - press image". Frankly Mariah already had an album called #1's in 1998, so a different title like "More #1's" let's keep moving forward exclude anything after Butterfly, make it a truly update a continuation. I re-conceptualized the sequence 50/50 half new #1's and half new stuff. 1. Touch My Body 2. Don't Forget About Us 3. We Belong Together 4. Heartbraker 5. Thank God I Found You Bonus 6. Hope Street 7. Don't Try So Hard 8. Climb It (To The Top) 9. Save The Day 10. Vision of Love Just to show where is all began, maybe the original demo version or re-recorded. Yes with only five tracks it looks more like an EP however with the bonuses it would fresh out to a complete standard ten track album. (Friday 6 February 2015; 16:51)

Raphael (49,826) by Marissa from USA Hey Raphael, I was having the same problem. The person who posted it deleted their YouTube account and I haven't been able to find it ever since. I hope someone reposts it soon. That interview gave me life. (Friday 6 February 2015; 16:33)

Nathan Morris (Boyz II Men) comments / Will from England (49,825) by ADAM from USA I applaud his honesty and bravery to speak up about her downfall in these these times of need. I can't stand when celebrities die, how everyone comes out the woodworks including stylists, musicians and collaborators and proceed to spill the beans about how they knew there was a problem and never spoke out. He decided to buck the trend and speak out now and offer his feedback. For a long time now, Mariah has lost a great deal of inspiration for creating meaningful music and has not worked at preserving her voice. She has lost a spark and drive in her that's been difficult to watch for many many years. I hope his message finds a way to her and sparks a change. I also agree with Will's comments. Mariah is bullish and has a long history of refusing help. I believe she has a drinking problem that's more than celebratory and the only way she'll change change her pattern of behavior is to hit rock bottom and have another breakdown (Glitter). I don't believe she's hit that low point yet where she's needs to be hospitalized unfortunately to realize she has a problem. The problem with money and fame, is that it provides a bigger cushion for people to pad their problems and not see the truth from fiction in their minds. MC has too many enablers and one-sided mirrors to get help right now. Such a shame to see a talent like hers diminish and become ridiculed. (Friday 6 February 2015; 16:25)
