Glitter (50,715) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I don't know why MC still thinks Glitter was so bad. I have watched the movie twice and it's actually not bad. I enjoy it. And do I even need to mention the soundtrack? It was amazing. Way ahead of its team. Come on MC. Also do you guys ever wonder that if MC dislikes Glitter so much, why did she choose to recreate the promo photos of Glitter for Memoirs? The other photos she recreated for Memoirs were some of her iconic photos like the debut album, the cover of Vision Of Love, and the Butterfly album. (Sunday 8 March 2015; 11:44)

For Adam (50,714) by Ty from USA Dear tired old school queen Adam, let me find out you have race issues. Keep in mind dummy Mariah loves rnb and has worked with black producers since day 1. Where your 1960's wackiness likes it or night she is also "black". Vegas will be a class act to all you fake hating lambs. I would be ashamed if Mimi read this site (which is full of angry goats like Adam). (Sunday 8 March 2015; 8:22)

Let Nick live (50,713) by Alexis Morell Carrington Colby Dexter Rowan from USA I still love Nick, I don't know why some lambs want to crucify him. You all want to read Nick for filth but sit up hear and praise or turn a blind eye to Mariah's idiocy and foibles. Chile. (Sunday 8 March 2015; 7:34)

#2's in Vegas (50,712) by Alexis Morell Carrington Colby Dexter Rowan from USA I think it would be a cute idea to acknowledge the songs that made it to #2 (doesn't she still hold the record for the most #2's?). Maybe a little medley of those songs? Or am I asking too much? (Sunday 8 March 2015; 7:32)

I wish her well (50,711) by Alexis Morell Carrington Colby Dexter Rowan from USA You know, sometimes I come on this board and read so much being said about Mariah. There is the deserved harsh criticism, but there is this strong undercurrent of hope: all of these ideas for new producers, looks, Vegas show setups. It all just makes me sad. I know one of my biggest criticisms of Whitney was that she seemed to neglect her fan base. I mean those fans that were there when she had obviously forgotten about her career. I feel like that's Mariah now. Yes, she will throw a few crumbs to us lamb-peasants with a tweet or ig post. However, she just doesn't seem to really care, so in turn, I've stopped caring. At this point, I've just found that having no expectations is the best route. Until the fans can speak directly to her, I expect nothing to change. (Sunday 8 March 2015; 7:30)

Andrew (50,710) by Reuben Walton from United States Andrew, why is it relevant that Walter is not black? (Sunday 8 March 2015; 7:26)

Random (50,709) by Philip from USA I just saw a promo commercial for the HBO series "Veep" and one of the characters said to the president of the U.S.A. on the show "What you say goes, literally you're like a real life Mariah Carey." I guess her reputation to everybody is she's demanding or she gets what she wants. I was kind of dumbfounded. (Sunday 8 March 2015; 7:06)

Sofa and piano (50,708) by carlos from peru I hope that MC doesn't bring her sofa and piano to sing lying over them because it's really boring and Las Vegas is kind of more action over the stage. I hope that she could make some coreography like she did back in the day with Honey, Heartbreaker, My All/Stay Awhile. Just saying. (Sunday 8 March 2015; 3:22)

To Adam: you are a little late with those strong feelings (50,706) by Amber C from USA Your most recent post is an example of how Mariah could be doing everything right, yet she still gets criticism. We haven't even heard the finale product; the fruits of her labor yet you are already judging. Amazing. Smh. (Sunday 8 March 2015; 3:13)

Adam (50,705) by Andrew from UK Well, Adam, you would think it funny but I put my head in my hands. Honestly. I think she should really go all out and call her new album something overly long and self-referential that people will make fun of and no straight man would be seen dead listening to. Suggestion: "Diary of the Misunderstood Caterpillar". Of course, I'm jesting before the humourless (yes, it has a "u" in it. heh) come out guns ablazing. I'm just not convinced Mariah gives a shit anymore. If she fucks up in Vegas it's all over. If Ja'mie King (spelt so for all the Aussies out there) is available, a humble Mariah should be throwing money at him. And working with Afanasieff won't happen ever again. He's not black.

Vegas and Mariah and Walter (50,704) by Ethan from United States I have faith in Caesar's Palace's production. Even though Mariah and her team might not be too extravagant with the production but it's a Vegas residency and it's business. The show must be extravagant to get people come and see. Last week, I saw a glimpse of Shania's show on TV and it looked great. There were so many dancers, props, and production. I'm looking forward to the Vegas show. And onto Walter, I know that there's magic between them when they work together but I don't really care whether or not she works with him now. A lot of people on this forum have been saying about they should team up again but let's be honest, he hasn't had a hit since Mariah period besides producing My Heart Will Go On. On the other hand, Mariah has several hits without his assistance/collaboration. The only old-time producers that stick around are Max Martin and Timberland. I don't want to suggest Mariah work with them because it's hit or miss as well. Max Martin does great with Britney, Katy, and Taylor but he missed the opportunity with Christina, J Lo and stuff. One more thing, I remember Mariah mentioned that Jermaine was being selfless and told her to release other producers' singles after TEOM (ILT, WBT, SIO, DFAU). Since then, she released other producers' singles instead but we know that Mariah/Dupri has several potential singles on both EMC2 and MIAM. (Sunday 8 March 2015; 2:43)

New ideas (50,703) by ADAM from USA Andrew your comments made me lol. I really want a rebirth for her career but I think she's just going to resort to the same old tired habits. Since we're going down that tangent, another move she could do for Vegas is wear her hair honey blonde in with a wave and wear as many mermaid dresses and ill fitting skirts you can put in one show. Also, we really would love some more Debbie Allen two step dances moves - if we're lucky we'll get the really cool "lift twirl and repeat" move she debuted with "Obsessed", where her dancers carry her over their shoulders and twirl and repeat it again. I mean really it's ridiculous what theatrics get approved for her live shows. Very tragic. (Sunday 8 March 2015; 0:33)

Camouflage (50,701) by B from USA Camouflage is a show for the peeping. Echoes of her newly failed relationship with Nick bounce off the gospel song. Carey's vocal performance allows the listener to feel her pain and understand her plight. Camouflage is classic Carey. (Saturday 7 March 2015; 23:11)

E=MC2 and MIAMTEC (50,700) by B from USA E=MC2: Migrate, Side Effects featuring Young Jeezy, I'm That Chick, Thanx 4 Nothin'. MIAMTEC: #Beautiful featuring Miguel, Dedicated featuring Nas, Make It Look Good, and Meteorite. Had IDJ and Mariah released these songs as singles she would have already surpassed The Beatle's record or tied it at the very least. I hope Mariah continues to write songs like Side Effects, I'm That Chick, Thanx 4 Nothin', Dedicated, Make It Look Good, and Meteorite. These songs are some of her best and deserve to be heard. MOAIA: Obsessed. I own Memoirs. It's the only album I can go months without listening to. (Saturday 7 March 2015; 22:48)

E=MC2 (50,699) by Otti from Belgium "E=MC2" is one of my favorite albums of MC together with "Butterfly". I love every song on it. Starting with "Migrate", "Touch my body", "For the record", "Bye bye", and ofcourse "Cruise control" and the haunting "Side effects". This was Mariah working with current producers, and shows how easily she can blend with other hot producers and songwriters. And she should go back to that formula. I remember when this album came out, the same time I had my first car. I used to listen to this album from beginning until the end in my car. Without skipping. "E=MC2" had a spring-summer feeling like "Butterfly". I think she and her label didn't take advanced of the songs on the album. There were a lot of potential hits. (Saturday 7 March 2015; 20:35)

Jamie King (50,698) by Lee TS from USA Wow this guy is impressive. He worked with Mariah's YDKWTD and Meteorite performances. Even though Mariah didn't do much in them I remember thinking the dancers really stood out. The choreography and dances went really with the songs. I do hope Mariah works with him for Vegas and saves Debbie Allen for the Christmas, no shade. (Saturday 7 March 2015; 19:27)

Reunion (50,697) by Terna from Nigeria Contrary to popular lamb belief, I don't think even if Mariah reconnected with Walter today that they would be able to recapture and recreate that magic they did for 8 years. I think that's long enough by the way, just enjoy the music they created and don't live too much in the past. That was a different time, a different Walter and a different Mariah Carey. A lot has happened to change them either for good or bad and believe me that would reflect in the music if they were to reconnect today. It just wouldn't be the same. (Saturday 7 March 2015; 18:49)

Mariah sings Happy Birthday (50,696) by NYHotShotta from USA Check this audio of Mariah singing Happy Birthday to B.Scott using the "You're Mine" instrumental. She sounds great with al these riffs and runs. (Saturday 7 March 2015; 10:43)

Jamie King / Big Jim Wright (50,695) by Darryle from USA I definitely think Mariah should work with Jamie King for Vegas. He's worked with Madonna, Rihanna, Christina Aguilera, and Britney Spears. Those artist all put on great tours with amazing visual effects. Vegas is all about the show. Mariah of course has to bring her voice but she's also got to put on a show and entertain. Music video clips, lighting, and smoke won't cut it this time. I also think she should drop Big Jim Wright. He ages Mariah and her music and TESC wasn't a very high energy tour. Vegas needs to be high energy the whole show. (Saturday 7 March 2015; 5:38)

Idea (50,694) by B from USA Mariah needs to write more songs like Side Effects, I'm That Chick and Migrate working producing and writing the people and producers that are at the top of their game. (Saturday 7 March 2015; 3:22)

Dream set list for Vegas in addition to her 18 #1's (50,693) by B from USA I would die if Mariah sang Looking In, Outside, I Am Free, Breakdown, Butterfly, The Roof and Petals. (Saturday 7 March 2015; 3:17)

New ideas (50,692) by Andrew from UK So in order to revive her flagging career, Mariah's really decide to mix things up and come at it with a fresh approach by working with new people such as Jermaine Dupri and Big Jim Wright. Amazing moves. I do hope JD grunts every now and then over the songs and adds something classic like "now that's what I'm talkin' about". I think in Vegas she should be really crazy and duet with Trey Lorenz and sit on a chaise longue. While she's on this new path, she should make Randy Jackson her manager. You know, really mix it up. (Saturday 7 March 2015; 3:11)

Daydream (50,691) by Abraham from USA Today I listened to the "Daydream" album. It's been awhile since I've enjoyed it. Practically every song is a gem and Mariah's voice is amazing. "Fantasy" is one of Mariah's best songs. "Underneath the stars" is beautiful. One of my favorites. "One sweet day" is legendary. She did great on "Open arms". "Always be my baby" is cute Mariah lol. Not really a song I like, but still great. "I am free" is amazing. I get chills with her vocals on that song. "Long ago" and "Melt away" are both cool. And "Forever" is brilliant. Very doo wopish. lt's so cool when you rediscover an artist's era and album. 1995 was the masterpiece of "Daydream". 2005 was her incredible return/comeback with the amazing "The Emancipation Of Mimi". So hopefully the pattern continues for 2015. (Friday 6 March 2015; 23:44)

Please MC, Work with Jamie King for Vegas (50,690) by SC from USA I'm not sure if you guys know Jamie King, but he's a visual genius when it comes to visual shows. He's one of the most sought after producers and visual directors for the top artists today. If you look a his resume, he's concerts put on a show. Madonna always works with him for her tours, and he's also worked with people like Britney, Celine (during her tour), and also with Mariah. If you look at his website, most of the performances for MC that he was involved in were incredible. The would be the perfect partnership for a show in Vegas that needs a spin and a fresh cool look. Mariah has so much potential, but we can all probably agree that her tours tend to look somewhat dated and on the lower budget range. I love her, but in today's era, people pay for shows. Big shows with big visual spectacles. Vegas should represent that. I really hope they work together on this. The results would be incredible without a doubt and she needs a visual director that can deliver. I would really hope that the vegas show is not a representation of the Elusive Chanteuse show. Thoughts? Who else would you like for her to work with? We have a massive star in our hands, now lets deliver a massive audiovisual spectacle. (Friday 6 March 2015; 23:11)

Nick (50,689) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The video of Nick getting twerked on by 3 women is disgusting. The man has no shame. He's the father of 2 kids now, he is in his 30s. He should be ashamed of himself. He is finally showing his true, sleazy personality. One would assume that after staying with a reserved, dignified woman like MC he'd pick up some of her traits but oh well. Good riddance for Mariah. She deserves much better, she deserves a proper man, who knows how to behave. (Friday 6 March 2015; 21:51)
