Messageboard

Mariah's last two albums (48,013) by B from USA Memoirs was repetitive. Each song sounds alike, with the exceptions of Languishing and Obsessed. Mariah deciding to work exclusively with The Dream and Tricky is why. Me. I Am Mariah. . . The Elusive Chanteuse is a return to form for Mariah. It's Mariah doing what she does best. MIAMTEC was praised by critics. It got some of the best reviews of her career. Mariah doesn't need to make any drastic changes to her music or sound. She just needs to work with Calvin Harris or Bruno Mars for her next lead single and she'll score that elusive #1. Radio DJ's are pissed that Mariah has more #1's than Elvis and they don't want to see her top The Beatles. Sad but true. I've been told I'm a walking Mariah Carey encyclopedia, lol. Mariah's legacy is intact. Even if she never sings another note she'll go down in history as The Voice. I hope that during her lifetime she gets acknowledged for her songwriting talent. She's the lyricists of our generation. Say what you want but Mariah has the best voice, even in it's current condition, in history of modern music. Her only competition was Whitney and she didn't have half of Mariah's range. (Saturday 22 November 2014; 15:25)

Re: Mariah and lyrics (48,012) by TJ from Norway I agree with you. (Saturday 22 November 2014; 9:32)

Name-calling (48,011) by Billy from Greece Although I could not care less for Wendy Williams, calling her "drag queen" or "man-like" or things pertaining to a non-conforming gender identity is disrespectful towards people that are actually non-conforming. You're basically using it as an insult, which is a clear display of both sexism and homophobia. Please keep it in mind and find more politically correct ways to throw shade if you will.

Howard Stern (48,010) by Lee TS from USA I actually like Howard and I think he's hilarious, his humor can be crude and ridiculous but it's an acquire taste. I know he and Mariah had their moments but I would actually love for her to go on his show and do an interview. Say what you want about Howard but he's an incredible interviewer. I've listened to many of his interviews with celebs and he gets them to talk. If he can tame himself a little or not, and I think he has enough respect for Mariah for what she's achieved in her career, we would get to learn so much more about her. This would be very unlikely though. (Saturday 22 November 2014; 3:53)

Me I Am Mariah... The Songwriter (48,009) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End I also really want Mariah to write an entire album by herself, meaning no co-writers even on the melodies or at the very least half of the material. I don't mind her co-producing though. Diane Warren has had the same guy tweak her songs and make them into well produced demos without taking any writing credit for decades I wanna say. I'm sure he gets generously compensated for his work or it wouldn't have lasted as long as it has. Mariah could do the same for at least one of her albums. It's really the only way non lambs will be permanently shut up instead of repeatedly omitting her name as the songwriter to her own songs unfortunately. But really, I enjoy Mariah immensely when it's just her voice, a piano and a few layered background vocals with minimal production, from VOL and Vanishing to Cry and Camouflage. Those kind of songs also tend to be her most personal. Mariah must already have a few albums worth of songs and ideas she never collaborated on. She's so freaking prolific it's ridiculous. We have ourselves an embarrassment of riches when it comes to her. We're really very lucky. (Saturday 22 November 2014; 3:49)

Mariah's lyrical subject matter (48,008) by ADAM from USA Thank you Darryle so much for you post. You've hit the nail on the head on exactly my sentiments for a long time that Mariah should write more songs about subjects others than love. I love her obscure songs like Looking In, Outside, The Wind, Close My Eyes to name a few. I don't think there are enough songs out there in popular music by popular artists that represent anything other than love and lust. When I listen to Make It Happen or There's Got To Be A Way, it gives me chills because I can feel the passion and urgency in her voice and the vivid story telling of her lyrics are so powerful that after many years since its inception, these songs are still resonant enough to get me past hard times in 2014. I really hope she gets inspired again to create these kinds of songs with important messages to help other people and perhaps herself again. (Saturday 22 November 2014; 3:18)

My MC 2015 fantasy wish list (48,007) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End We've been hearing about things that either never come to fruition, get sabotaged or don't get promoted for decades now. So just for fun I'm putting together a lil list of all the things I wish are gonna be Mariah's big announcement for 2015 and or beyond. 1. A European residency in London to celebrate her 25th anniversary. 2. Carbonated Butterfly drink released internationally using Thirsty as promo. 3. An annual Christmas Broadway show written and produced by MC. 4. The Bond theme, performed, written and produced by MC and a cameo role on screen. I think Bianca needs to dust off her wig for this one. 5.The debut album re-released with the original demos, live performances and unleseased tracks or remixes. 6. An autobiography, maybe as a three-part book series? Childhood - The Sony years - Post Glitter. 7. A cable miniseries about her life using the books as a template. 8. Crave Records 2.0 and an HBO tv documentary chronicling the journey of MC mentoring new artists and maybe giving forgotten one's a new chance. 9. A Christmas movie produced and written by MC with old and new music where she plays at least one of the characters. 10. A DVD to commemorate her 18 US #1's with video commentary on every song and how it came to be from inception to charting. Also, funny anecdotes in the bonus features and guest appearances with her collaborators through the years. What do you guys wish Mariah's big 2015 announcement will be about? (Saturday 22 November 2014; 3:07)

Last thoughts on Wendy (I hope) (48,006) by Darryle from USA I think I'm completely done with Wendy. Every thing out of her incredibly mannish mouth is utter garbage. Just like her show. She's got nothing positive to say about Mariah or anyone else for that matter unless it benefits her. She's been called out by so many people for hating and she continuously denies it by kissing butt so that she can get those people on her show. But the moment they're off she goes back to talking trash. Baby I would say that she looks like Howard Stern in a wig but that's an insult to Howard. (Saturday 22 November 2014; 2:09)

Mariah and lyrics (48,005) by Darryle from USA I love Mariah's lyrics. I think she's one of the greatest lyricist of all time, but does anyone else wish she would tackle more socially conscious lyrics. She's done it before. I really just want more songs like There's Got To Be A Way, Outside, Petals, The Wind, FLAB, Twister etc. Songs that don't deal with love or breakups. Songs that deal with whats going on in the state of the world today. I want her to write about topics like race and poverty. I know she's got an opinion on it so why not share? (Saturday 22 November 2014; 1:27)

Darryle and Nikki / Williams (48,004) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Can you believe I forgot all about that thirsty chick? Talk about 15 minutes of shame. When will these bishes learn not to come for Mariah for no reason? It never works out in their favour. Ever. The Wendy Williams' buttkissers should let her know that. Her audience is something out of "The Wave", they never question any of her contradictory reporting. I guess it helps when you have the collective memory of a single goldfish. Wendy lies with the ease of a sociopath and I find that disturbing. She's really just Howard Stern with a wig on. (Saturday 22 November 2014; 0:57)

Wendy's transparent lies (48,003) by Isabelle from USA You know Wendy be lying when she said Mariah Carey wanted to do her show. Isn't odd that she announces it the week when Andy revealed about it in his book. Wendy would have said something about it long time ago then. And why would Mariah want to go to her show for the first place? To promote what? Mariah's album previous release date would have been during when Wendy's show would be on its summer break. Plus was she planning on promoting something she would have ended up going to Michael and Kelly, The View or The Talk are really supportive towards Mariah. Wendy is just looking for something to drag Mariah to make herself good. (Friday 21 November 2014; 7:50)

Wendy Williams / divadom (48,002) by Lee TS from USA Wendy has a love/hate relationship with Mariah and it's so fickled. Wendy is my guilty pleasure and she does get really messy but that's what makes it entertaining. Besides the seating arrangement (which we all know is not true because Mariah's side is her right), Wendy actually stood up for Mariah on her hot topics today. She said Mariah can sing better than most on her worst day, looks good even with the weight gain, and will do fine without Nick. She even threw in Mariah's infamous "I don't know her" shade when talking about Aretha. Now, I love MC with all my heart but I wish she would tone down her diva antics just a bit. I can't even say she likes to play up the image for the public anymore. Prime example would be the Breakfast Club interview, she was team too much. This is going to sound so bad but let's keep the festive celebrations to a minimum until there's actually something to celebrate about. Splash on that. (Friday 21 November 2014; 4:58)

Wendy's bulls*** (48,001) by Marissa from USA Wendy wants her name attached to Mariah's so bad that she feels the need to lie about rejecting Mariah. Lmao. All she did was try to pass Andy Cohen's story off as her own. Pathetic as usual. (Friday 21 November 2014; 4:20)

Adam (48,000) by Abraham from USA I pity you for actually believing that drag queen. Mariah did no such thing. Like she'd actually want to go on that show. Mariah wants nothing to do with Wendy. The woman has lost it. She's pathetic, not to mention a sorry movie producer. Anyone see the "Aaliyah" movie? It sucked. Also Adam, there was nothing wrong with the "Watch what happens live" interview. It was good, and Andy spoke very well about Mariah and enjoyed having her on. (Friday 21 November 2014; 3:20)

Re: Baby and LC (47,999) by nikki from usa Baby, I was kinda generalizing at the end since the Aussie girl is new. I was referring to the girl who was supposed to be the opening act for one of her shows this year. She went straight to media and was telling everyone Mariah didn't want her because she was a female. Nathaniel was the official opening act and the organizers were going to have her open for him then called her the day of to demote her from the stage. They claimed Mariah didn't want her for being a female which was a sleazy scapegoat. The girl thinks her idol rejected her. This was the same show where Mariah had to cut down her own show by removing her medley due to "time restraints". LC, I completely agree with you. I seriously doubt that's the reason her appearance fell through. I heard a rumor that she was going to go on Wendy, but cancelled when a more popular show requested her presence. You know if Wendy did anything that made MC change her mind, she would never tell us anyway. She doesn't display herself in a bad light, just everyone else. In any case, Wendy was the one that wanted MC on and not the other way around. If Mariah agreed to come on after a decade of "no" and said I'll do it if you let me sit in your chair, but Wendy rejected that than she should stop complaining that MC won't visit her. Call me weird, but when I have company over they sit wherever they want. (Friday 21 November 2014; 2:23)

Baby (47,998) by Darryle from USA I think they're talking about the girl that was supposed to open the Australian leg of the Elusive Chanteuse Show. I believe her name is Natalia. She was spreading lies saying that Mariah fired her before she supposed to start because she was a female. (Friday 21 November 2014; 2:00)

Wendell Williams (47,997) by Darryle from USA Does anyone honestly believe that Wendell Williams turned down Mariah? I honestly don't even think Mariah would offer herself up to go on that show. Especially after all hate and lies Wendell spreads about Mariah. (Friday 21 November 2014; 1:56)

Mariah's biggest fan at 18 months old (47,996) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End This is why Mariah will always be a hero. I found this video randomly on twitter. It made me smile and simultaneously brought tears to my eyes. It testifies to how music can be such a powerfully healing entity in this world. I'm sending this little baby-lamb all the love and hope I have in my heart for a full recovery. Count your blessings and pray for all the little ones who suffer on this Earth that there is a better place beyond this existence. (Friday 21 November 2014; 1:55)

In Touch (47,995) by Darryle from USA I can't believe someone thought that article was good enough to publish. The media will go to any lengths to drag Mariah's name through the mud. Especially when she's at a low point. Good for Gossip Cop for checking the sources and not spreading lies. (Friday 21 November 2014; 1:52)

Wendy Williams (47,994) by Ty from USA I don't believe a word Wendy says, it just seems like she's an attention hog. (Friday 21 November 2014; 1:21)

Adam (47,993) by LC from USA Lol, you actually believe that Mariah was rejected from Wendy's show? Even after all of the lies and rumors Mr. Wendell has spread while constantly criticizing her? Wow. You make me laugh. First of all, Wendy said that Mariah only wanted to show her left or "good" side, and wanted to make Wendy move. Let's get a few things straight. If you've been a lamb for even a few years, or if you do a simple Google search, you'll see that Mariah is always photographed from her right side. You know how I know? It's the side without the beauty mark. Duh. So, obviously that was a lie. And continuing on that, why would Mariah make Wendy, the host, switch if the host always sits on the left, and Mariah, the guest, always sits on the right? Obviously, Mariah never did any such thing and Wendell is just a liar who is thirsty for Mariah's attention. Rumor dismissed. (Friday 21 November 2014; 1:17)

Wendy Williams rejected MC's bid to come on her show last year (47,991) by ADAM from USA Wendy revealed today on Hot Topics today that Mariah wanted to come on her show last year and the deal fell threw because Mariah requested to be filmed on her left side (like WWHL with Andy Cohen) and have Wendy switch seats with her as a result. Wendy said that wasn't happening and that it was her show and that it was just weird. I totally agree with Wendy's stance and support her decision to not oblige to a a silly request. When Mariah came on WWHL the whole vibe was weird and off seeing Andy in a reversed position with Mariah. She looked so foolish checking the monitors and her hair throughout the show. I think more shows should follow her lead and not cater to these foolish demands. It's a TV show. Go on and have fun and enjoy the Q&A with the hosts and fans. I really thought WWHL would have been much more fun if she wasn't so insecure with her behavior and shadiness. I'm a fan but it's crazy to know that she is ruining her legacy with her erratic behavior and drinking. (Friday 21 November 2014; 0:37)

Nikki at Andy's left side (47,990) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End I couldn't agree more with your post. Mariah has earned the right to decide when and when not to be asked questions about other female artists. Notice I don't use the word singer as that term is used as loosely as diva these days. It's not Mariah's problem if other female artists wants to talk about her indiscriminately. Mariah's team has seen Andy's show, as she herself has, I'm sure. WWHL is a complete and total messfest if any of you don't know. MC kept it classy as always but still delivered with her classic Eminem shade. Lol. That moment has been gifed and hung up on the Shade Hall of Fame just like "I don't know her". What more do people want? BTW which Aussie girl are you talking about, aside from Kylie Minogue, that has talked about Mariah? (Thursday 20 November 2014; 23:36)

Thirsty (47,989) by Jay from USA Everyone keeps mentioning that Thirsty is about Nick. But I remember when the album came out, it was mentioned somewhere that Thirsty was actually about Damizza. I know there were rumors that they dated and he was going to publish a book and talk about his time with Mariah. She actually filed some kind of cease and desist. It makes more sense that the song is about Damizza then Nick. (Thursday 20 November 2014; 22:51)

[...] (47,988) by Travon..SweetSweetFantasy from USA Mariah is charting within [...]. Last I saw was AIWFCIY UK #76 and #85 and AIWFCIY #88. [...] #16 (+2) on the international sales chart. (Thursday 20 November 2014; 22:09)
