Madonna (49,275) by Dove from USA I would like to see Madonna and Mariah reenacting their feud on SNL. I don't see them being friends but they can at least be "cool" and put that feud behind them, on TV, with a joke. The only Madonna albums I've ever owned are The Immaculate Collection and the one that has Ray Of Light but I can appreciate that she's also a legend with a huge fandom. Putting it behind them would be good because that comment Mariah made in 1995 always gets brought up as an example as to why Mariah is not nice. (Sunday 18 January 2015; 5:06)

Billy (49182) / debut album honors concert idea (49,274) by Dove from USA She's the only popular artist of today I could think of who could do justice to Vanishing when I wrote that, but it doesn't have to be her - maybe Jojo or Sarah Bareilles? I'm just thinking MC should put her catalog to work. Having different artists sing the songs MC wrote for her first album would breathe new life into those older songs and show/remind people how good a writer she's always been. It will also put to rest the misconception that Mariah feels threatened by other female artists. I'm thinking of the concert where Mariah sang If Only You Knew/Somewhere Over the Rainbow for Patti LaBelle. MC can just be in the front row, looking stunning, enjoying her songs being sung by some of the best singers, whom she inspired. Before each performance there could be a short interview clip of each artist talking about how they were inspired by MC. Those singers have their own fandom who will be introduced to Mariah Carey's music, if they haven't been already. I think all of the artists I listed have been inspired by Mariah except for (maybe) Taylor Swift, but I still included her because Prisoner sounds like it could have been on 1989 and everyone likes Taylor. Her image is perfectly cultivated, she always seems sweet, she never bad mouths anyone, she seems intelligent, she's photographed hanging out with celebrities but also with regular people, etc. I think it would be a good opportunity to focus on tthe songwriting while honoring the queen.

Back to Sony (49,273) by Ardis Logic from Earth I never thought I'd see MC go back to Sony. I think it's great. I think a duet album would be really fun for her too. Very excited about the future. (Sunday 18 January 2015; 1:47)

Divorce (49,272) by G.G. from USA I wonder if part of the divorce agreement is to not post or show pictures of the twins? Mariah didn't post any Christmas pictures of the twins and when she talked about the kids on Ellen, they didn't show any pictures either. Weird. (Sunday 18 January 2015; 0:34)

Bill / #1's (49,271) by Edward from USA Bill, I like your list too. Yours is perfect for when the new compilation actually comes out. My list is just to entertain myself while awaiting for the real thing. I'm adding "AIWFCIY", "AAO" with Westlife to the list right now. I'm also replacing "Fantasy" ft. ODB with the album version. (Sunday 18 January 2015; 0:25)

#1's track list (49,270) by Bill from the UK Good playlist Edward. Mine would be: 01. New song 02. New song 03. Touch my body 04. Don't forget about us 05. We belong together 06. Against all odds 07. Thank God I found you 08. Heartbreaker 09. My all 10. Honey 11. Always be my baby 12. One sweet day 13. Fantasy 14. Without you 15. Hero (live at MSG) 16. Dreamlover 17. I'll be there 18. Emotions 19. I don't wanna cry 20. Someday 21. Love takes time 22. Vision of love 23. New song 24. New song 25. All I want for Christmas is you I'd have 25 songs as it's her 25th year. Also I chose a live version of Hero as that is what Mariah originally wanted on the album but I think the execs pulled rank on that decision and stuck to the regular version. I'd also have the original Fantasy. As much as I love the remix, the original is amazing in its own right. (Saturday 17 January 2015; 23:40)

MC on Ellen and more (49,269) by Tiina from Finland I agree, she looked glowing and youthful. Finally she was wearing something else than a gown or a dress down to the floor. I love it when she dresses more casually, like she's one of us. I do love those diva gowns too, but to the playground? The gloves are off too, that's great. She's healing. And healing from the split as well. I admire her strength. I would be miserable and lost in her situation but Mariah is all smiles and throwing herself into work. This might sound selfish of me but I'm glad to have her back now that Nick's gone. Nick was like the 3rd kid running around making a mess. Now Mariah can raise her kids and concentrate on working on her legacy without having to worry about what he's doing. And I'm even more excited for the residency now that the new compilation album is coming out. It's great, exactly what she should put out this year for the 25th anniversary. And it's something for those of us too that won't be able to see her. I think a concert DVD from Vegas would be nice as well with all sorts of extra trinkets. Of course I would die and arrive in heaven if she put out her original demos but I don't think that'll happen. By the way, who else is excited to hear her sing Someday live? That is one of my favourites. I can't believe she hates the song, it's so good and the video as well, she rocked those jeans. By the way, there's an a capella version of Someday on YT with just the lead vocals. It's chills-down-to-your-spine-good. (Saturday 17 January 2015; 23:35)

Re: Jenny / "Without You" (49,268) by Billy from Greece I guess subtle jokes don't communicate via written language always. (Saturday 17 January 2015; 23:14)

Vegas residency plus #1s CD plus 2015 projects (49,267) by Ethan from United States First of all, I really like the direction that Mariah and her team are going. Here's why: Vegas: Since it's Vegas, it's going to be invested in some kind of production. Even though it's going to be focused on her voice, there will be some acrobatics, props, staging. I don't think it will be as extravagant as Britney's or Celine's (the ones I've been to) but it's at Caesars Palace so it will be great nonetheless. People need to stop freaking out about the residency. It's really short. Only 27 shows per year that allows Mariah to do other things. And she knows that. Keep calm and carey on. #1s CD: It's probably going to be a 2-CD compilation. I hope she will include at least 6 new songs (Don't Explain and so on). The last #1 CD included 4 new songs with a duet with a major diva. It'd be cool if Mariah collaborate on a song with another diva to have the same formula (Beyonce or Lady Gaga?). It sounded like a crazy idea but I think it would work. Also, perhaps re-record all her 18 #1s with another singer for each song (Kelly Clarkson and so on?) and turns it to #1s duets. Anyone with me? Lol. Empire: I hope that Mariah will guest star or have a recurring role on this show. It's hot and so good right now. Lee Daniels is involved in this new TV show. He directed the first episode. Would it be cool if Mariah plays Cookie's sister, coming in with a Long Island or Souther accent? Mariah has sassiness and talent and she will make it work. I can't wait for the show on May 24th. (Saturday 17 January 2015; 22:33)

Ellen (49,266) by Manny from U.S. I was listening to UOMF. Since Nick is continuing to "rap", I pictured Mariah singing the line "No. You ain't a rapper so you need to stop spitting it" to him. Anyway. I really enjoyed Mariah's interview on Ellen. She was more composed than the interviews she did last year. She was funny, sweet and humble. When she surprised the fans dressing up as a room service worker, I was happy for them. How lucky. I live in California, and I'm planning to see Mariah as much as I can in Vegas. I'm excited. (Saturday 17 January 2015; 21:44)

Updated #1's album (49,265) by Bill from the UK I love the new album cover, I hope it remains as that. I could never like the original because, as beautiful as Mariah looks, her photoshopped legs just look out of proportion and it grates on me lol. I hope the album will include AIWFCIY, it would then be a definitive collection of hers. It would also be cool if the International version included Without You (and maybe Against All Odds) as they were #1s across Europe. I think it coming with a blu ray concert of one of the shows from Vegas and some new tracks (Save the Day, Kick Rocks and Hope Street) would complete the package. (Saturday 17 January 2015; 21:23)

My own version of #1's (49,264) by Edward from USA While I wait patiently, here's my own version of #1's. 23 tracks, average track length: 4:06. Playlist length: 1 hour 34 minutes 40 seconds 01. Sweetheart (featuring JD) (4:25) 02. When You Believe (duet with Whitney Houston) (4:36) 03. Whenever You Call (duet with Brian McKnight) (4:23) 04. Touch my Body (3:24) 05. Don't Forget About Us (3:54) 06. We Belong Together (3:21) 07. Heartbreaker (4:46) 08. Thank God I Found You (4:17) 09. My All (3:52) 10. Honey (5:01) 11. Always Be My Baby (4:19) 12. One Sweet Day (duet with Boyz II Men) (4:43) 13. Fantasy (4:04) 14. Hero (4:20) 15. Dreamlover (3:54) 16. I'll Be There (duet with Trey Lorenz) (4:25) 17. Emotions (4:11) 18. Someday (4:07) 19. Love Takes Time (3:49) 20. Vision Of Love (3:31) 21. I Still Believe (3:56) 22. Without You (3:35) 23. Do You Know Where You're Going To (3:47) (Saturday 17 January 2015; 21:17)

Re: Billy about Meteorite (49,263) by Ardis Logic from Earth Yes. That song is amazing. My husband even likes it and he is not a MC fan at all but he says that song is great. I would love to hear her do more songs like that. (Saturday 17 January 2015; 19:21)

Ellen and Vegas (49,262) by Ardis Logic from Earth MC was stunning on Ellen. I got the feeling that she wanted to say more but couldn't. Did anyone else get that feeling? Anyway I think this Vegas deal will be awesome. (Saturday 17 January 2015; 19:16)

Lambily chocolate (49,261) by Dove from USA I had a dream that I was in the Mariah Carey store and there were huge candy bars for sale called Lambily. They were 1/2 pound bars and the wrapper and font looked like the Hershey's Symphony bar (cream colored with pin stripes and red or blue cursive lettering) but the one in my dream had brownish purple lettering. I tasted one and they tasted like See's milk chocolate with almonds. It was such a bizarre and realistic dream, I just had to share it with you guys. Side note: I don't think I've ever tasted a Symphony bar. (Saturday 17 January 2015; 17:56)

Vegas flight and hotel booked (49,260) by John john from UK So I decided to visit Vegas for 10 days. This means I can see Mariah at least one more night, other then the opening night I have already booked. I'm so excited. I'm also getting married in Vegas that week too now, it's turning out to be a dream holiday. (Saturday 17 January 2015; 17:53)

#1 album cover (49,259) by Dove from USA I love that picture a lot and I always thought it would make a gorgeous album cover. I think it would look more balanced if "Mariah (butterfly) Carey" was on the side, like on the Unplugged album. Or above the picture instead of on top of it. Just my two cents. I'm saving up my money for when it comes out. Guess what everyone I know is getting for Christmas this year? (I also hope it has a few new songs included that can be released as singles and will make it to #1.) (Saturday 17 January 2015; 17:06)

New album (49,258) by Luke from United Kingdom It would be pretty cool if Mariah filmed each #1 song she performs at Ceasars Palace and then included them onto the Album. Plus a few new songs with videos. Kind of like how Beyonce made videos for each song on her recent album and named it a visual album. I'd imagine the editing for this could take a while though. (Saturday 17 January 2015; 16:23)

#1s Glitter Uptown Funk (49,257) by Lainsky from Philippines If Mariah is releasing another compilation of her No. 1 songs as her offering and celebration of her 25 years in music, I have nothing against that. But she should include killer new singles that could possible go to number 1. Yes I still care about her chart performance. I hope she worked with or sing with Bruno Mars. Uptown Funk is a nice song that reminds of her Glitter album because of the sound. I think if this is the year the she will release Glitter, it will be more relevant to today's music and perhaps will sell more. Anyway just a thought for I simply love this album. I'm just glad she's still around after 25 years. (Saturday 17 January 2015; 15:47)

Stacey (49,256) by B from USA I would love it thanks so much. My email is brandonlambert79@yahoo.com (Saturday 17 January 2015; 15:45)

Mimi L (49,255) by Luis from Spain Yes, it is included in the press release posted on her website. (Saturday 17 January 2015; 15:22)

New album: "Mariah Carey - No.1's live at Caesar Palace"? (49,254) by Andrew from UK To those who would say or thumbs up the inference that Mariah's smiles on Ellen are covering up pain: you people *want* her to be miserable it seems. She looked great, she sounded great, she was fun and engaging. Does everything about Mariah have to be about her private life and her pain? She did well. Why doesn't she wear things like that and have her hair that styled that way on stage instead of hideous ball gowns and flattened lifeless hair? And the look in the maid's outfit: she looked amazing without looking like she was trying at all. She looked 10 years younger. If she can pull off a residency without lipping or messing it up, release the album as "Mariah Carey - No. 1's live at Caesar's Palace". An updated studio No. 1's would be dull. A live Vegas album with all of them on would be exciting, fresh and something she hasn't done in 23 years. And keep the style going. This plus-sized-with-lifeless-hair, hoochy-mama-on-a-chaise-longue-in-a-shapeless-ballgown look should be buried forever. (Saturday 17 January 2015; 14:50)

Mimi L. / #1's (49,253) by Edward from USA Mimi L., the following excerpt is from Mariah's official website "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." Since the article is on her website, we should agree that she's definitely working on a new edition of #1's. I created a playlist with her 18 #1's, and there's only space for a new five minutes song, so if she wants to release new music with it, it would have to be a double disc album. Mariah has enough music to give us at least six new songs. I'm excited about that. (Saturday 17 January 2015; 14:20)

Mimi L. regarding #1's album (49,252) by Lee TS from USA It's in Mariah's press release, "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." It's exciting times for MC and her appearance on Ellen was way too cute. I probably watched the bit of her surprising the fans 10+ times. My favorite was when she was dusting the television then turns her head over the shoulder, smile, and start cracking up. It was so genuine and silly. So yes go ahead girl and get your coins Ms. Hunty. (Saturday 17 January 2015; 12:12)

Billy from Greece (49,251) by Jenny from South Africa Hi Billy. I just had to say that the line you quoted came from Without You and it's definitely not an obscure song. It's probably her most popular cover internationally. It's my favourite Mariah song so I had to correct you sorry. Moving onto Nick, I really hope he doesn't try to get spousal support from Mariah because he's got plenty of his own money now anyway. If he was an ordinary Joe with a 9 to 5 job I would understand but he really is already filthy rich without her money. (Saturday 17 January 2015; 7:25)
