Thirsty aka Nick (51,550) by MIAM from United Kingdom Why is Nick getting called "Thirsty"? I don't get it, he hasn't said anything negative about Mariah or expressed that there's any negativity between them. He had his own little empire before they got married, if it has grown any more then that is due to his own doing. As Mariah said herself they keep their work completely separate from each other. The people who are thirsty for bashing Nick at every opportunity they get need to re seat themselves as we have heard it from the horses mouth the media rumors are false, and all the negative rumors you hear are false so stop feeding them. I just don't think it's nice and quite classless to bash Nick the way people do on here with no proof. He is the father of her kids, remember? (Friday 10 April 2015; 17:04)

Cindi Berger (51,549) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Like I thought, Cindi was dropped by Mariah, not the other way around. MC may be going through a career low but no way would a publicist be stupid enough to drop an A list celeb, especially one with so much drama surrounding her at all times. It's a PR's dream client. It's quite shameful and unprofessional of Cindi to have spun the story to make it look like she dropped Mariah. On the other hand, Mariah's alleged letter to Cindi seems nice and sweet.

Shelly (51,548) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha sweety, don't worry, I don't mind that you have a different opinion about this and I love you too. You are just such a sweet member of the board and your messages are always great. As for the picture, I remember you said before that you loved it and I really do love it too. It's one of her greatest shoots. As for the cover, I figured since she used a new unused picture for the cover of the original #1's, she should use a new one for this one too and then use older pictures for a booklet. But ya well I guess she can keep it as the official cover, it wouldn't be the end of the world and she does look the right about of gorgeous and sexy in it. But ya at least I just want her to use new shoots for interviews and the other album we keep hearing about. I wonder when we'll see the new official cover for the #1's album and the new single cover. April 27th just can't come fast enough. I do hope she leaves us breadcrumbs here and there in terms of album details or promo shots to keep us tied over until the single drops.

"I Still Believe (Stevie J. Clean Remix)" (51,547) by Billy from Greece Can we show this remix some love? I mean, this is a completely different interpretation of the original or of the "Pure Imagination" remix. I love the "darker", moodier melody and beat, while Mariah's nasal vocals just hint on what she would do on "Crybaby". One of Mariah's most creative phases. (Friday 10 April 2015; 9:58)

Me. I Am Mariah / YDKWTD / Now That I Know (51,546) by Billy from Greece As I continue to wonder how the people who wanted all these years "classic" Mariah did not embrace "Me. I Am Mariah", I just can't see how they missed the references in that album to Mariah's own early hits or hidden gems. For instance, "You Don't Know What to Do" can be considered an homage to "Now That I Know" or even "Someday". "Meteorite" obviously channels her work with David Morales. You can even follow the evolution of the album through the concerts she gave prior to its release. For instance, it was clear that opening the Australian setlist with the 'Revival Triumphant Mix" of "CTTA" was not random. "Money" (my least favorite song on the album) is along the lines of "Don't Stop" or "I Know What You Want". Clearly, she enjoys the role of the "chorus girl" on R&B jams, even within her own albums. I could go on and on about other songs but I'll stop here. The point is not to describe these songs as identical, but to show how Mariah has really stayed true to her artistry while also moving forward and expanding. (Friday 10 April 2015; 9:53)

I have a feeling / See You Again (51,545) by Edward from USA I have a feeling that "Uptown Funk" at the most would sit lonely behind "One Sweet Day" as the second longest running single with 15 weeks. Airplay and sales for that single are already decreasing. "See You Again" sits at #10 and it's expecting to move over 400,000 digital downloads by next week, so it could potentially dethrone "Uptown Funk" from the top spot living it hanging with Mariah and her other five friends at 14 weeks. If it doesn't happen next week, "See You Again" would definitely kick "Funk" into the #2 position the week after. "Blurred Lines" almost doubled Bruno's effort in airplay, but the competition was tougher then. Rihanna's singles have been lackluster, so I don't see any #1 coming from her anytime soon. I hope none of her records get broken on 2015. If she does things right in Vegas, with the reissue of #1's, a new single, and a Christmas movie, 2015 could be a wonderful year for Mariah. I'm a little nervous, but very hopeful. (Friday 10 April 2015; 7:22)

Infinity (51,544) by Mushaakiss from UAE I'm not sure if it's Infinity or #Infinity lol but I'm so happy she's back to one word titles that right there is a good sign imo. Things seem to be shaping up for MC and it's about time she reclaimed her rightful place at the top and show the world how it's done. Exciting times ahead so brace yourselves lambs.

Non, je ne regrette rien (51,543) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End I'm not taking back a single word I've written about Thirsty. Why should I? He took a damned week to even address the so called rumours of his tell-all. By which time many more people have been exposed to the malicious falsehoods that were quoted in regards to Mariah's character as a professional entertainer and furthermore as a mother. And when he did comment on it, all he really did was cover his own ass. He conveniently left out that the very premise of his would be book is based on compete and utter lies about Mariah. I predicted as much. Not to mention how flippantly he implied Mariah would take him back after all this drama on that same red carpet to another interviewer. Un-be-lie-va-ble. What is he like?

New managers (51,542) by Dove from USA I Googled MC's new managers and I think the woman, Stella Bulochnikov, is the mystery "woman in black" we were wondering about on here. I'm not 100% certain but she looks like her. (Friday 10 April 2015; 4:13)

Pumped for Vegas (51,541) by Dove from USA I watched the YT video for VOL in Jamaica that was mentioned here yesterday and it blew me away. She sounds incredible. Before I had only seen a shorter clip. The part Jon mentioned where she starts singing weird and then says, "I'm just kidding" had me smiling and chuckling. She's so funny. Then, someone mentioned live performances, so I listened to the Pearl Palms album (which I hadn't meant to buy, but I had the one click purchase button thing on so I bought it by mistake) and she sounds great on every song except for Hero. I'm kind of glad I accidentally bought it because it isn't available anymore. I am so pumped and excited about Vegas now. Her singing may not be up to some people's standards but it's definitely good enough for me. Mariah Carey still has the best voice I've ever heard in my life. (Friday 10 April 2015; 4:06)

MimiL (51,540) by Dove from USA I hate to disagree with you, because I love you, but I must. I love the E=MC2 era picture that she's using for the #1's promo. It's one of my all time favorite MC pictures and I hope she keeps it as the #1s CD cover. When I look at that picture next to all the other album covers on her FB, that's one of the best ones IMO. For the next album with all new music, yes, she should definitely take all new promo pictures, but #1's is a retrospective album, so I think it's appropriate to use an older picture in this case. And that picture is a really good one. (Friday 10 April 2015; 4:05)

Good things are happening / Andrew (51,538) by Edward from USA I am happy to know Mariah is doing exactly as I said she would. We're getting pieces of information that are killing us softly. I'm not mad about Mariah using that picture from 2005, we all know she's not photoshoot ready now, and that picture from 2005 resembles the Mariah of today, it is as if she never ages. Andrew, "Mariah Carey is not a religion, so stop being fundamentalists", exactly what I've said before about the cult-like mentality of some fans here. If there's a rumor about Mariah, it is just a rumor, don't believe it. If there's a rumor about Nick, it suddenly becomes true and evidence is pulled out of people's asses to substantiate the insanity. Some even swear they saw him sign the book deal. It is so hypocritical to entertain the idea that Mariah could date, but Nick has to be celibate till the divorce is done. Are we in the Middle Ages? I am happy they are not together, I prefer to see Mariah happy than miserable in a dysfunctional relationship. Mariah and Nick can date, have sex with, kiss and hug whomever the hell they want.

Don't ever let them count you out (51,536) by Jon from Netherlands I love how the interview ends. "If they counted me out, they're just gonna have to count me back in". Time to do it again Mariah. (Friday 10 April 2015; 1:43)

Nikki (51,535) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Hey. What's up? Hm now that I think about it, ya you are right about this particular spread. But still, a shoot from 2005? I mean she had so many great photoshoots after that. But like last year remember when she was suddenly on the cover of 2-3 magazines? And apart from Wonderland most of them were old photos? That gets me annoyed. She does look good on the Vegas cover though and her picture inside with the white dress has always been a favourite shoot of mine. (Friday 10 April 2015; 1:42)

Shut the funk up (51,534) by Andrew from UK So, looky here. Nick isn't releasing a book. To the muppet that angrily said '"for a fact" and all the other "haters" (oh that feels good, papa, have I been bad, papa?), you need to get a grip of your sanity. I see Cindi Berger is the new target. You have absolutely no definite info on why she departed and if the departure was to Mariah's liking or not but, oh, looky closer, Cindi's a demon-in-disguise. It is my opinion that it is good for Mariah to move on to a whole new team (and a team of people that will quit if she gives them her shit). Cindi? I wish her well. Some people on this board come across as obsessives worse than Directioners and are an insult to reasonably minded people. And Uptown Funk beating One Sweet Day? It's good, but not that good. In the UK it bounces around positions. Not number one. There are no songs released in America more noteworthy at te moment? Strange. Anyway. Stay sane. Remember, Mariah Carey is not a religion, so stop being fundamentalists. I added the funda-. For fun-da. (Thursday 9 April 2015; 23:47)

No "tell all" (51,533) by Ardis Logic from Earth That's great, but no apologies needed. I stick by my original statement. I don't trust the man, and I still think he is not as squeaky clean or nice as he tries to portray. If he was, obviously he would still be with MC. Being married takes work, compromise, and change. I say this from experience. My husband and I will have been married 15 years this year. It is challenging to stay together all those years, but when you "really and truly" love someone, you are willing to make it work no matter what. Plus he is still technically married and he has been seen doing inappropriate things with other women. That is just disrespectful and not the classy or considerate thing to do. So yeah, great there is no "tell all", but that doesn't erase the other issues. I just don't like the guy and I doubt I ever will. (Thursday 9 April 2015; 23:44)

It's a new day for Mariah (51,532) by Tiina from Finland Mariah is getting ready for a brand new era, so get ready, guys. So exciting to hear that she's going all out with some spring cleaning and hiring new people to jazz things up along with her new contract with Sony and the Vegas residency. Exactly what she needs right now. Smart move, Mariah. She's also looking beautiful. (Thursday 9 April 2015; 22:37)

No tell-all (51,531) by LC from USA So, there's that. Nick just went on E. News during a red carpet interview for America's Got Talent and completely denied the tell all book allegations. When asked to dispel the rumors about it, he says, on video, that he is disappointed in the media and their perpetuation of negativity and that he is very happy with his family situation and he "doesn't know anything about any tell-all books or anything like that". So, to all those who were labeling him "Thirsty" and quick to destroy him, I think apologies are due. I'm glad they're amicable. (Thursday 9 April 2015; 22:33)

For the nostalgia (51,530) by Tiina from Finland I've been loving all of these nostalgic posts. I wish I could have been there with you but I was only born in 1990 and unfortunately Mariah has never been that big in Finland. I remember a lot of Michael and Janet, Madonna and Metallica but no Mariah. I only recall hearing WYB in radio once as a kid and was very taken by it but had no idea who the two beautiful voices were. Years later I saw the video for WBT on TV and liked it but couldn't have guessed I'd turn into a hardcore fan one day. By this time I was aware that Mariah was part of the so called vocal trinity. When YouTube came around I began binge watching her live performances daily. Singing has been my passion since I was a preteen and I'm quite the vocal technique nerd, so I grew very interested in Mariah's voice. I'd analyze it with my vocal teacher at the time and bought a beautiful Mariah song book and sang Hero during class. To be honest, at first I was a little embarrassed to like her music. I had previously only listened to classic rock and my favourite band was Queen (actually now it makes sense to me because Mariah is just as camp as, say, Freddie Mercury). The image I had of her was that of a ditzy diva however she was undeniable. Then I learned that she also wrote her songs, which was really impressive. Finally when TMB came out and I saw the video I realized that she was in on the joke and that she was in fact quite the jokester, willing to laugh at her diva image. Been a lamb ever since. (Thursday 9 April 2015; 22:27)

Infinity (51,529) by Stacey from USA I like the title. I always like the MC that emerges from tough times. She seems to be getting it together with LA Reid at the helm once again. April 27th is only a few weeks away. I can't wait to hear the new single. Now with a new single coming, let's get the promotion on point and get some TV appearances going. (Thursday 9 April 2015; 22:25)

Re: Warrior Butterfly / Mimi (51,528) by nikki from usa Magazines do this frequently and always have. "Mariah" has nothing to do with this. She didn't do an interview with these people. The article and magazine chronicled her life and added quotes she's said recently and over the years. There is no new information in this magazine. They simply starred her due to her residency starting next month. The information is old and so is the picture. There wasn't an interview so there's not going to be a photoshoot. This is a common practice that's been done on Mariah hundreds of times over the years. (Thursday 9 April 2015; 22:19)

See You Again might save OSD (51,527) by ktktkt from Philippines The song is so awesome, it has the same vibe as OSD so all lambs should unit and push this song and dethrone the Funk song off the #1 next week. OSD is too good be to dethroned. I hope only a MC record could dethrone OSD this year. (Thursday 9 April 2015; 21:49)

Photoshoots (51,526) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ya well it's not only the cover but even the picture inside of the white dress that is from a shoot from Emancipation era. This bugs me. I don't get why Mariah is digging up old pictures for recent interviews. She did the same in last year's magazine spreads. All of the pictures were from older shoots. She looks fabulous, why not just go for new shoots? When I buy a magazine, I like a new shoot accompanied with it. The pictures are almost as important as the interview for me. As much as I love the black and white shot from the E=MC2 era that she is using for her #1's promo, I seriously hope the actual album cover will be different and from a recent shoot. (Thursday 9 April 2015; 21:03)

Uptown Funk (51,525) by R&B Junkie from Poland Records are to be broken. If the OSD record ever should be broken, there is no better song than UF. It's vibe and classic sound reminds me of thousands of good quality songs you can find everywhere but not in the mainstream. Also, the fact that it's been almost 20 years gives me chills that OSD really was worth it. (Thursday 9 April 2015; 20:46)
