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)

Rumor (47,986) by G.G. from USA Mariah is auditioning dancers for a video that will be filmed within the next few days. (Thursday 20 November 2014; 20:23)

Wow (47,985) by Emma from United States Nick has allegedly gotten Amber Rose pregnant. I don't know if it's true but if it is then... just wow. (Thursday 20 November 2014; 19:44)

Re: G.G. / Andy Cohen (47,984) by nikki from usa I read that article a few times, because these days writers are really scrapping to make stories by making mountains out of mole hills and stretching the truth. The only part of the article where MC was actually mentioned was the tardiness and lighting requirement. I don't know that these are "demands". She asked for his chair, she didn't threaten to walk out for not getting her way. She doesn't want to look like the Crypt Creeper, I'd say that's practical. When they talk about the "do not mention" list, they never specifically referenced Mariah. They began talking about her in the next paragraph. If it is her, I can see why. J.Lo has been talking about MC a lot and it looks like a ploy to bring up more beef or start a new one. It makes sense that MC would try to avoid it. She went the extra length to say "no females" instead of singling one out in particular. It may look bad, but I think it's important to keep the focus on her music instead of "rivals". Think about it. Over the years J.Lo, Nicki, and this Aussie girl are all giving Mariah a good reason to skip on the ladies. All these girls are interested in is cat fighting and getting their names out at MC's expense. This is probably why MC prefers the guys. (Thursday 20 November 2014; 19:43)

New direction (47,983) by George Golden from UK When will Mariah come out of her comfort zone and come out with a killer album? I mean she is really killing her career with luckluster albums. The last two albums have been a let down. Rhianna is coming out soon and I pray she does not pass Mariah's record because that will be a travesty. Why can't she come out with a pop record that will transcend a wider market? She has got the best vioce, but she has totally limited herself to singing childish tunes. If she ups her game and forget about the rappers, by the way where are they on her tour, she will be massive again. (Thursday 20 November 2014; 18:48)

Mariah Carey Australia (47,982) by Travon..SweetSweetFantasy from USA Look at this. I saw it yesterday on her Australian facebook page. "Amazing news. Mariah Carey's digital sales increased by over 800% during her Australian tour. The following titles charted at iTunes Australia on either the main, Pop or R&B chart." There are too many to list and not enough room. Just thought the forum should know. (Thursday 20 November 2014; 18:32)

Speechless after this "Heartbreaker" re-make (47,981) by M from UK Io Echo just released this alternative cover of "Heartbreaker". Really shows how versatile Mariah's songwriting is. Anyone can relate and draw different inspirations, yet with the exact same words, the meaning comes across in a whole new way. (Thursday 20 November 2014; 17:57)

Confused (47,980) by Jon from Netherlands I love this interview. Mariah's singing and speaking voice are equally mesmerizing. In this interview we have the real Mariah: goofy, divalish, melodramatic and most of all hilarious. She has the people in the studio cracking up. The moments about Nick have me confused. Thirsty was already done and part of the album but she still says "I love you Nick" and means it. There are a lot of hints that things could be wrong in the marriage but it actually feels like just two adult persons that have their disagreements but still love each other. What to make of all of this? How could she be putting a song like Thirsty out there? Did they have a pact? You talk about our sex life and private things and I'll write songs that humiliate you. What about the fact that she says "Nick creates the rumours"? Could Mariah be smiling to pretend things were still ok and it was worth to give it another try or was she lying to herself and not accepting it was almost over? Was this just public bickering? It just doesn't make sense to me because it really feels like she believes in the marriage but then she says (partially as a joke) "he should have married someone else", "I hope Nick is listening", "I would prefer to have some decorum", "Nick is with the dembabies while they are fun then back to the crib", "he's not even gonna be home", and has a song like Betcha Gon Know remix in the album (clearly included because of Nick). I'm confused. (Thursday 20 November 2014; 16:54)

MAke it happen wow wow (47,979) by Gilles from Malta I love the way that she sang Make it Happen. That is so good. Bravo MC. You are the best . At 1:54 that's so good and all the song long. (Thursday 20 November 2014; 9:27)

Me. I Am Mariah... The Elusive Chanteuse (47,978) by T from USA I think this is one of Mariah Carey's greatest albums. Everything about it, the production, the music, the lyrics, the vocals, the style, the variety. It can't be matched. Let's buy everyone we know a copy for Christmas and spread the good music. (Thursday 20 November 2014; 5:30)

Mariah's strength (47,977) by Jon from Netherlands Hey there lambily. My first time posting on the board. I was watching a documentary about Whitney and I realised more than ever how strong psychologically Mariah is. Looking at MJ, at WH and so many artists and then looking at Mariah you just realise this woman is incredible. She has never done drugs, she always recovered from very difficult situations and even now with the tour she could have gone the WH way and make a mess out of it but she recovered so beautifully. This is probably one of the most difficult times of her life and she is fighting back. She could have been completely lost after Motolla or after Glitter but she didn't. The most amazing part is that she does it on her own. There is really no one there to direct her behaviour. A lot of people don't like her but I say kudos to Mariah for being herself. I know she is far from perfect and she is getting more and more insecure as she ages but at least she is real and she is putting herself out there instead of a fabricated public image. What an example. (Thursday 20 November 2014; 1:03)

Andy Cohen (47,976) by G.G. from USA He is such a jerk for talking about Mariah's "do not mention" list in his book. At the same time though, Mariah needs to stop that foolishness. It makes her look petty and insecure. (Thursday 20 November 2014; 0:45)

Heavenly (Can't give up/No ways tired) (47,975) by Terna from Nigeria This song is so uplifting and healing. Everytime I listen to it, there's this calm and reassurance I experience. Also her voice on this track is on another level entirely (those high falsettos and whistles cut like steel), I haven't heard her sing with such raw emotion and power since "Fly Like a Bird". I remember watching "House of Payne" a while back and there was this episode where the character Cassie Davis plays sang this song when her son Calvin got shot and was battling for his life in a coma, I was very touched by that episode and came to realize then that it's a faith song first and foremost and then a Victor's song too. So immediately I saw it on the tracklistings as the album closer, my heart smiled. I am glad Mariah covered this song and interpreted it in such a powerful way, I do want Mariah to go full-on gospel. Now that would be a career defining moment. (Wednesday 19 November 2014; 22:45)

You're Mine (47,974) by Brad Catoe from United States This is actually one of my favorite songs. Haha I was so in love with it. I was actually really disappointed that she isnt performing it. That's the one thing I really liked about the Angels Advocate show, she did a lot of songs from the album. I wish she was doing more MIAM songs. Either way though You're Mine is amazing. I hope she knows that it really resonated with some. (Wednesday 19 November 2014; 17:23)

Abraham (47,973) by B from USA I have to disagree with you. You're Mine (Eternal) is one of my favorite songs on MIAMTEC. It doesn't sound like We Belong Together or Don't Forget About Us. It was produced by Rodney Darkchild Jerkins. The lyrics are romantic poetry and the beat is "ratchet" which is current. If she had worked with JD and Cox on You're Mine (Eternal) then it would sound like a rehash of We Belong Together. Me. I Am Mariah... The Elusive Chanteuse is one of Mariah's best albums. I also love Money featuring Fabulous. The Mike Will Made It beat and Mariah's silly catchy chorus(hook) is an earworm. The only songs that I dislike (skip) are One More Try and Heavenly (No Ways Tired/Can't Give Up Now). However, I do enjoy Mariah's vocals on Heavenly. With only one album going platinum this year, Mariah selling over a 100,000 copies with no promotion isn't and shouldn't be considered a flop. I hope she re releases MIAMTEC with new song and a DVD with clips from her tour like she did for the rerelease of The Emancipation of Mimi. Or she releases a new album to mark her twenty-five years in the industry. She's an Icon and she's still a force to be reckoned with. Next year marks my twentieth year as a Lamb.

Matt Fishel - "Oh Santa!" Roc & Roe version (47,972) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End I'm usually disappointed by Mariah covers. Firstly because the vocal delivery is almost always like bad careyoke but especially production wise. This guy, Matt Fishel, is one of very few who actually made a Mariah song his own. I just love it. I hope she's heard this rendition. Enjoy. (Wednesday 19 November 2014; 7:28)

Emotions all whistles live (47,971) by Eduardo from Mexico Have anyone noticed that she sang all the whistles live during her Yarra Valley concert? I'm really surprised she hit them live and they really sounded piercing, the whistle in the middle of the song sounded like the one she hit at Des O'Connor tonight. (Wednesday 19 November 2014; 3:59)

St Nick and the Apologists (47,970) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End I apologise, I take it all back. None of the songs on MIAMTEC are about Nick, especially not Thirsty. Just like Mariah never wrote about Tommy, Derek or Luis in any of her lyrics. And Nick only meant to add forever to his Mariah tattoo, not cover it up into oblivion. Mariah never sang "And I know you cheated motherf*****" in Tokyo. Nick's crude appearance on Big Boy's radio show never aired on 3/27, Mariah's Anniversary. Nor did he continue to disrespect her on Howard Stern a few days later or reveal how he came up because of the women he slept with. James Cannon never posted anything on Facebook that began with "Here a thing" right after Nick never leaked to a friend in the media that he and Mariah were separated. Nick never deleted his Instagram or tweet how Thirsty was his favourite song. In fact, everything is so great between Mariah and Nick, the only reason they are getting a divorce is so they can get married again. That's why they didn't renew their vows this year, everyone does it now. A remarriage is much more original. In fact, that's Mariah's big 2015 announcement. Coming soon, to a reality TV near you. (Wednesday 19 November 2014; 3:42)

Re: Abraham (47,969) by MCvoice from Singapore I totally agree with you. I love this album, but had always skipped YME and Money. TAOLG is actually my fave song in her recent years. Plus Almost Home and Triumphant, though I know fans hate this song. (Wednesday 19 November 2014; 2:58)

MIAM (47,968) by Abraham from USA I think that Mariah should have replaced "You're mine" and "Money". "You're mine" is Mariah's weakest song, compared to "We belong together", "Don't forget about us" and "I stay in love". I just think it doesn't fit on the album. It should have been replaced with "The art of letting go". And "Money" annoys me. But hey, it's just me. It's still my one of my favorite albums. And one of Mariah's best. Now, I could definitely have the next. I will be so happy if "Don't explain" and "Lullaby of birdland" were recorded in the studio and put on. (Wednesday 19 November 2014; 0:41)

Comeback no. 2 plus hello (47,967) by Luke from United Kingdom Hey I'm new and only recently found this website and I love it. I've loved Mariah all my life but have only really have started following her in the last 2 years. This maybe wishful thinking but looking at this tour and MIAMTEC, does anyone get the idea that Mariah kinda wants to move on from this album because the majority of it is probably related to Nick? I also feel that this looks a lot like what she was doing with the Charmbracelet tour and album. Critics and a lot of fans were pretty sure she'd had her time back then and assumed there was nothing left for her but she went on tour, built up publicity, sang live (and well for most of it) and then a year and a half later came back with a vengeance in 2005. Does anyone else think she's got something up her sleeve planned for next year (possibly late 2015)? (Tuesday 18 November 2014; 22:50)

Matteo (47,965) by Matini from United States From what I could hear, in the beginning of "Faded", she whispers, "It was overcast that day, I was feeling kinda way" almost as if she's writing the lyrics as she's whispering them to herself. In the beginning of "YME", she whispers, "I can't seem to give you up, you're mine." That's just what I heard though. (Tuesday 18 November 2014; 18:08)

Matteo (47,964) by Will from England She's just murmuring the lyrics as she is writing them down. For "Faded" it's just "It was overcast that, and I was feeling some kind of way" whilst for "You're Mine" it's just "I can't seem to give you up, you're mine". As for "Money" I thought she said "I can't leave it like that", which makes me think that she may have originally ended the album on "Camouflage" before recording new songs post-shoulder injury. (Tuesday 18 November 2014; 17:41)

Matteo (47,963) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Hey there, welcome to the board. I just wanted to clear out the things Mariah whispers in the beginning of a couple of songs for you. Before Money starts, she says "I can't leave it like that", which I assume is referring to the fact that Money was a last minute addition to the album. Mariah already had an album ready, but at the end she added 4 new songs to the album. Money was probably the last to be recorded. So she probably means that she decided she couldn't leave the album like it was (when it was titled TAOLG) and so she added Money. Before Faded she just keeps writing and reading the first two lines of the song "It was overcast that day, I was feeling some kind of way". Before YME, she just says "You're mine", and it echoes. I hope that clears it up. I think when Mariah said she wants the album to be heard as a body of work, she meant that she wants the fans to go through the songs as a journey, which reflects her life in the past 4 years. The joy, the love, the sadness, the anger and the shade. (Tuesday 18 November 2014; 17:35)
