Vegas and Mariah (49,213) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter While I was not really a fan of the idea of MC taking on Vegas at this point in her life, I will try and be supportive of her decision. I just hope that haters don't take this as her last stop before retiring. I was almost hoping for a completely new album on her 25th year and being selfish about wanting her to score a couple more number ones to get everyone in check, but ah well I see many lambs are happy with the decision so good for them. However why is MC still using her picture from 2008 E=MC2 shoot for profile pictures and on Ellen? Come on, she looks great now and if she is releasing an album, she should really not use old pictures. I need a new fabulous photoshoot. (Thursday 15 January 2015; 22:20)

Songs ownership (49,212) by Jay from USA I do believe Mariah said she was able to buy the songs from Sony during her interview on Oprah during the Charmbracelet era. I would love to hear all those songs again. (Thursday 15 January 2015; 22:06)

Vegas (49,211) by Stacey from USA I would hope Mariah would release a CD and DVD of her Vegas show. I attended Celine's Vegas show, and while a DVD is nothing compared to seeing it in person, I still love watching it on TV from time to time. Plus, it's nice to have a live version of the concert on a CD too. I am excited to hear MC revisit some older #1s. For me a absolute favorite #1 of mine is IDWC. I know it's not Mariah's favorite since I think she's only sang it once live on the Daydream tour. Still, it has a haunting melody that sticks. I hope she sings it again and does something different with it. Heck, with her marriage ending, the song might have more relevance now. (Thursday 15 January 2015; 21:57)

Mariah sans glove on Ellen (49,210) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End I noticed it right away. It made me smile, MC's doing great if she's comfortable in her own skin again enough to go without her trusted glove. That's been like her little crutch for more than a year now. Don't get me wrong, I think it was genius to make it a part of her ensembles (much like MJ did). Yeah, Mariah's gonna be alright, not that I ever doubled it but it's such a relief to see her looking like herself again, laughing it up, and her little French maid ploy for the lambs was hilarious. Caution, good times ahead. (Thursday 15 January 2015; 21:49)

Tickets are on sale now lambs (49,209) by Kyle from USA Just purchased my MiMi tickets. She is only scheduled, as of now, for May and July. Of course, ticket sales and demand may extend the residency. She is already selling good so get your tickets now. I am seeing her July 11. This will be my 4th time seeing her live and I cannot wait. (Thursday 15 January 2015; 18:33)

Mariah on Ellen (49,207) by Stacey from USA Wow, she looked great, polished, etc. Thank you to Eric for posting the clip. I hope someone will post the full interview later. I can't wait. I think the whole concept based around her #1 hits is perfect. What a way to celebrate her 25 years in the business. Can you believe it's been that long? Makes me feel old since I was 13 when Vision Of Love was released, lol. I'm sure some critics will say "well she's living in the past". So what? It's time Mariah owns her success and invites her fans who have supported her for 25 years to celebrate that with her. I live 6 hours away from Vegas. You sure can bet I'm going to try and see her. I can't wait. I think basing her Caesars residency around her 18 #1s is perfect. Back when Celine Dion retired for a few years, she released an album called "A Decade of Song". It included her most popular hits and 7 or so newly recorded songs. Mariah has so much material, she could even a double with 25 tracks on each CD. I doubt she'll do a double, but even if she only did one CD, she could do her 18 #1 hits plus add 7 new songs and do that. I honestly would love to see a 25 year album of all her remixes. Put together a tracklist of all the radio edits so you can include more songs like the rare Meme' Butterfly version. Either way, I am excited to see what she has up her sleeve. I am liking this post Nick Mariah. She looks more mature, more polished. It's time she owned her 40-ish age and prove to the people she belongs. She did that back in 2005 with TEOM and here she goes again. (Thursday 15 January 2015; 18:21)

Someday (49,206) by Mara from United States Hmm, I think if my memory serves me right, that Someday was a favorite song of Nick or her look in that video was, or something of that nature. Well, it also happens to be a non favorite of Mariah, hence her never performing it. But maybe now as karma should have it, she will perform it taking on a new meaning. (Thursday 15 January 2015; 18:11)

Ellen (49,205) by Abraham from USA I loved it. Mariah looks great. She practically looks just like she did in the "Beautiful" video. (Would you agree Otti?) I think Vegas will be successful as long as she sounds good. She seems happy and confident. I was thinking how cool would it be if Mariah released a new album, and she could sing new songs at her Vegas shows. I think that nice blue picture display on Ellen would make a great album cover. (Thursday 15 January 2015; 18:02)

New songs (49,203) by Jake from New Zealand "Revisiting these songs for the show, working on the updated compilation, and creating new music has really let me reconnect with my songs and I hope my fans will enjoy the experience." And "In celebration of Mariah’s groundbreaking record, and in tandem with the concert series, Mariah is working on a new edition of her worldwide best-selling album #1’s. Set to include all 18 of her number one hits, along with newly recorded music, the album will be released later this year." means new music, right? (Thursday 15 January 2015; 17:47)

Vegas (49,202) by Liz Archer from Sweden I wish I ould go the show with Mariah in Vegas and see it but unfortunately I can't afford it at the moment. (Thursday 15 January 2015; 17:28)

Sophia (49,201) by Mara from United States You wrote something in your post that really stuck out. I completely know what you mean about Mariah smiling and happy with a sense of pride. She was confident and it showed. You also said Vegas is for people who earned the right to be there. So true. She worked her a** off in this business for 25 years, and a catalog to back it up. She has two children under 4 and yeah she has nannies, but essentially is a single mother now. She is getting paid to stay in one place, come home to the same place each night to her kids, get paid a huge sum of money and keep her legacy going. How is that a loss? She is no wash up and people are in for a spectacular show and should be prepared for chills when they hear that voice live, and see her on stage. I don't care when people say Britney is the performer and some say M just sings. There are different levels of entertainment and there certainly is no shortage of choices if a "circus theme" is what they want. I don't mean that as an insult to Britney at all, just different. But Mariah doing the #1's as her headline sets her apart, even if a certain someone from the block heads to Vegas too. (Thursday 15 January 2015; 17:11)

Luis (49,200) by NHYTG from nyc I know that Universal owns three of these #1's but since 15 are owned bij Sony as well as the original #1's concept. I have a strong feeling this album will be a Sony release with "kind permission" of Universal to publish those three. But anyway, just my thoughts. More important I hope promotion will be huge including tv and radio adds. I can't wait. (Thursday 15 January 2015; 16:55)

Ellen (49,199) by Mara from United States Wow. She looks amazing. She is working hard and it is paying off. I knew this was where she was aiming with this residency. My post 49,004 I said she may set this around her number one songs and how this backs up her legacy and reminds them all what sets MC apart from those others. 2015 will be a great year for Mariah. I don't see Vegas hurting her at all, if anything I think it will remind people who she is. If her shows are anything close to her Beacon shows, people are in for a pleasant surprise. I would think she will have to rearrange the songs since this is a Mariah Carey catalog and singing these songs consecutively would be hard for anyone. But for a chance to hear her sing Someday, IDWC? I gotta figure out a way for a trip to Vegas. (Thursday 15 January 2015; 16:53)

Residency toughts (49,198) by QueenLambassador from Portugal I checked my phone this morning at 5 am and for some reason I couldn't sleep anymore (now I'm like a zombie). I'm happy with this move. Vegas isn't for losers, it's for the ones who earned the right to be there. The video from ellentube shows a very confident Mariah, with an actual smile and pride. I wish I could go the USA and support my girl but unfortunally I'll have to see the fanvideos and stuff. On a personal note, she could squeeze in Cry or Faded lol. I'm over the moon specially with the re-issue of #1's and a possible DVD of this. I can see my Christmas list 2015 getting ready already. (Thursday 15 January 2015; 16:35)

Ben (49,197) by Luis from Spain Even if she hasn't signed a record deal, Universal owns her last three number ones (We Belong Together, Don't Forget About Us and Touch My Body) so it's very likely that both Sony and Universal release this GH together. (Thursday 15 January 2015; 16:15)

Smart move (49,196) by Luis from Spain I liked how she looked on Ellen. The same smile she had during the TEOM era ten years ago. Do we know when the updated One's will be released? I think on May to coincide with her opening night. I was wondering, if she includes 18 singles in her CD, no new songs will be included, aren't they? They wouldn't fit. It would be a pity as a couple of unreleased songs will be fun of us fans even without releasing them as singles at risk of flopping again. (Thursday 15 January 2015; 16:12)

#1's (49,195) by NHYTG from nyc I like the idea of an updated version of #1's, the picture on Facebook gives me the idea this might happen, all 18 #1's with All I Want For Christmas Is You as a bonus track. No new tracks needed for now, just concentrate on this legacy. Time will come for new music once the Vegas concerts are over and credibility will be regained. As far as I know Mariah is without a record company now so she can go ahead with Sony for this project. For the Vegas concerts I hope she will blow everyone away, prove that her voice is far from gone, sounding as great as she looks now. And does she look good. (Thursday 15 January 2015; 14:38)

Question (49,194) by May from Denmark Could someone point the differences between her previous "The Pearl" Las Vegas and the now "Caesars Palace" Las Vegas residency? Mariah says "it's first time ever" and a whole "new thing", so I am somewhat clueless as to what it is going to differ from the last time she was in Las Vegas. I remember clips and such from her show in "The Pearl" and it looked well put together and the photos showing her costumes looked gorgeous and sweet. I would really like this time if a DVD of her Las Vegas show was made. Thanks. (Thursday 15 January 2015; 14:37)

Ellen (49,193) by B from USA Mariah's appearance on Ellen airs today in the USA, right? (Thursday 15 January 2015; 14:34)

New era post-Nick (49,192) by Eternal from Italy The Mariah we saw on the Ellen show is finally the Mariah we've known forever - the witty and humble girl-next-door with the big voice. Applause for the sexy yet decent outfit that showed off her curves while maintaining her class, and her love for her lambs by giving away free tickets to the Vegas shows. What to say? Post-Nick, Mariah is so much better. I think all that drinking and blabbering of the past might have been due to her marriage troubles, but I'm glad she's moving on and trying to keep herself busy yet still taking time off for the kids. It would be great if she releases #1s 25 (to commemorate her 25th career anniversary), with all her 18 number ones, bonus re-sung acoustic versions or demos of some of them and a few new songs. If she keeps singing like she did during the Beacon shows and maintain her current image, 2015 would be Mariah's year again, part 3. Who's Nick Cannon again? (Thursday 15 January 2015; 14:21)

My one complaint (49,191) by B from USA The only problem I have with Mariah's Vegas residency is that she's only going to be performing her #1's. I love Underneath The Stars, Breakdown, The Roof, and Vanishing. But I'm going to go see Mariah in Vegas. (Thursday 15 January 2015; 14:20)

Edward (49,190) by B from USA You killed your poor grandmother by making her listen to Nick's music. Lol I've never listened to any of his songs except that song he did with R. Kelly. (Thursday 15 January 2015; 14:13)

MC on Ellen (49,189) by B from USA Mariah looked amazing on Ellen. She's regaining her confidence. Ellen always brings out the best of Mariah. Is she releasing an updated version of #1's? (Thursday 15 January 2015; 14:08)

New Mariah (49,188) by Darryle from USA She's back. I was weary about Vegas at first thinking she might be stuck in the MIAMTEC era but that's not the case. She looks phenomenal. The ball gowns are gowns and the legs have arrived. Whatever was holding her back the past few months is gone. Mariah's back and she's ready to take on the world. (Thursday 15 January 2015; 13:09)

Ethan, on the other diva (49,187) by Amber C from USA I heard somewhere that Jennifer Lopez is also going to Vegas. Is this true? And if it is what a coincidence. (Thursday 15 January 2015; 12:57)
