LC (47,430) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I am really excited if the news is true, I will try not to be disappointed if it turns out to be false. However if Mariah indeed decides to re-release she should definitely add a few new songs. She should get rid of the Memoirs remixes and instead add 4 new songs. I hope she does it right this time around and gives the album a lot of exposure. I think this album has a lot of potential because it has a song for everyone. The classic Mariah raw ballads (Cry, TAOLG) for the people who want 90s MC music, then there singles with a great chance to get her more hits and newer audiences (Thirsty and YDKWTD) and many more. Your point about the unseen videos playing in the background got me thinking. Because she never filmed new videos just for her tour, they usually just have writings or the real video playing. I will be so happy if she has a video for each song. MC should definitely go on every show and sing as well as give interviews. I was wondering what happened to the other music videos she filmed but never released. She shot a video for YDWTD and Thirsty (apparently for her drink) and she flew to Paris to shot these. So why waste them? (Tuesday 14 October 2014; 15:55)

Glove (47,429) by William from Philippines I'm wondering, why does Mariah still wear gloves on her right hand? It's been 1 year. I remember she said that it's for her dislocated hand. Is it her new fashion? (Tuesday 14 October 2014; 15:49)

Katie who (47,428) by Abraham from USA It's something how when someone like Mariah who has obviously lost some weight is probably feeling good, proud and happy with themselves and then all of a sudden, here comes some loser making some negative comment trying to bring you down, but it's like that sometimes in life, there will always be someone who will try and bring a person down, but you can't let them, jealousy is an ugly thing. Honestly, I had no idea who this Katie women was. I had to google her, but didn't last long reading about her because I became extremely bored. There is nothing remotely interesting or special about her. I just think it's funny how someone who's been irrelevant for the longest time is now all of a sudden trying to be noticed and get attention by slamming a woman who's done something with herself, who's made a name for herself as a music legend and who's accomplished more than what that Katie woman has. Lady can have a seat. Mariah don't pay any attention to that idiot's remarks. You look great, so continue doing you, strutting your stuff and being the woman you want to be, your body is fine the way it is. (Tuesday 14 October 2014; 12:37)

I don't think pretending that Mariah is superwoman is helping (47,427) by Marissa from USA Regardless of how optimistic people try to be, Mariah does not have full control of her voice as of now. Her performances have been extremely hit and miss for the past 2 years. For someone who has admitted to being very insecure, she ideally would never give a bad performance and give the media so much fodder, but her voice betrays her. I believe that Mariah knows her voice but if she feels the need to lip sync in some way, shape or form 95% of her performances, she knows something is wrong too. We need to put our egos aside and stop acting like Mariah can pull every single thing together on her own. She's a legend, but she ain't Jesus. With the performances or lack thereof (lipsyncing) between 2012 and 2014 I don't think she is above vocal coaching. I'd rather see her get help and repair the vocal damage than avoid it just to soothe her ego and continue to give performances that will slaughter her legacy. (Tuesday 14 October 2014; 6:16)

RJJ12, Mimi L / the truth (47,426) by Marcus from Brazil RJJ12, you are so right. You were just posting videos of Mariah to compliment her, not to put her down. I think reading comprehension is very important. It seems to be some people read two lines from a post and then start spiting fire without looking at the context. Most of us got what you were conveying, you didn't have to explain yourself. As you said, the fact that Nick has revealed publicly his new tattoo replacing Mariah's name should be enough to know those two are not getting back together. It is not a rumor anymore. Mimi L., your post was as clear as water, you shouldn't pay for others' lack of reading comprehension or any comprehension at all. Always remember that we are less fans than the "super fans". You didn't to have to explain yourself either. (Tuesday 14 October 2014; 3:03)

Mimi L. (47,425) by LC from USA These are the two links. This is really exciting. I really hope our speculations come true. There was a point when the same dancer posted that they had shot the video for YDKWTD, so what if Mariah really is going to do this and capitalize on her success in December? Oh, that would be amazing. (Tuesday 14 October 2014; 2:41)

Prayer and Mariah (47,424) by Travon..SweetSweetFantasy from USA I am done with the perception or backlash I am getting. I have decided to no longer respond to certain fans on this post. I will speak to people that will not bash or question my character. I will only speak to those with great opinions. LC, thank you for your support of Mariah and valid opinions that make sense. You are a true fan. Keep those facts coming Abraham, you seem cool, calm, and collected. Your support is honest and great. Thank you for your great posts. Mimilamb, your desire to speak truth and encouragement is very enouraging. You're awesome in your defending Mariah all the time. Keep us updated as your great at it. Edward, thank you so much for setting expectations on this post. You are posting veteran on this site. You preach respect and respect others opinions. As hard the latter may be you always know what to say. All others fans keep up the suppport. (Tuesday 14 October 2014; 1:13)

Mariah's voice (vocal cords) (47,423) by B from USA Mariah still has her voice. Her voice is fragile. It's also affected by her feelings. Her voice cracked during love songs. Makes sense since she's going through a divorce. She also suffers from stage fright, always has. When rested her voice is spectacular. She's still the best vocalist of our time. Her mother is not only an opera singer, she's a vocal coach. Mariah doesn't need a vocal coach. She doesn't need the surgery that ruined Julie Andrews' voice. She knows her voice. She knows when she's giving a good performance, a bad performance, and a great performance. She's a living legend. Show some respect. (Tuesday 14 October 2014; 0:54)

Travon (47,422) by 123 from USA Please do your research before you start making untrue statements. The videos I posted were in no way comparing Mariah's past performances to her current ones. Had you researched, the conversation started with another poster indicating they would rather Mariah perform another song from her catalogue as it seems as though she is just going through the motions when performing ABMB. I responded to her (kindly at that) by advising I used to feel the same way until I saw a couple of good performances where she did a great job with the song and posted them for anyone to enjoy. Speculation? Where have you been for the past year in a half? This has been one of the worst times in her life. Her initial submission of a ballad heavy version of her album wasn't well received by her label, her album got pushed back, she had a serious injury, she got bad reception to her singles and the roll out to her album was non-existent. Mariah hardly speaks on her personal life so why would she now? Plus, why would she when Nick has been doing all the talking lately, even if they are attempting to work things out, Nick having the tattoo with his wife/mother of your children's name covered up is enough of a "sign" for me. Anyone can see she is going through a hard time. She needs prayer. No need to speculate when the proof is there. I don't want to fight with you and I'm glad that you are praying for her in your own way. God bless. (Tuesday 14 October 2014; 0:37)

Mariah can't sing anymore (47,421) by Tiina from Finland Not correct. The situation with her voice is bad obviously but of course she can still sing. What she has is a physical problem with her vocal chords. The nodules won't allow them to zip up. You need a proper "seal" of the chords to produce a clean sound. That's why Mariah sounds very airy but I must say that she has incorporated airyness into her sound beautifully. However, it's actually a problem and also abusive to the vocal chords (it's called "air leaking"). If you continue to sing that way, in time you may not be able to properly zip up your chords again and that means no clean sound. Mariah is having problems to sing on pitch, of course we know she can sing on pitch but it's like her vocal chords just fail her at this point. The air leakage must be behind it. The chords are worn out. Right now she can either sing airy or just belt from her chest voice but it seems that she's not able to use her mix. Her voice has become heavier due to aging. Mariah used to have a lot thinner voice, which made her so fluid. She was very resonant and that's what made her powerful. Today she's too chesty and tries to muscle her way up to reach her mix, especially now because her chords are so tired. All this doesn't mean she's lost her talent. She's dealing with a condition that makes her voice unreliable. She's better off in the studio where multiple takes are allowed. Mariah needs vocal therapy, no doubt. The voice is still there but the vocal chords are worn out. (Tuesday 14 October 2014; 0:03)

Mimi L. / re release (47,420) by Abraham from USA Trust me, no one needs to re read any of your posts. Once is more than enough. As far as a re release of the album. If it's true, I hope it will have brand new songs. She should start fresh. Maybe some of the songs from that rumored tracklist will be released after all? If not, it's cool. As long as whatever she's planning on releasing is good. If it's produced by DJ Clue and JD it should be good. I'm still waiting for the day Mariah works with Pharell again. Walter too.

Without Mariah (47,418) by Carol from Spain I've been wondering how artists like Mariah are so important to the music industry. She represents a time when music was done for the right reasons and, above all, music was made to last. I tremble when I think of my life without her walking the earth (don't wanna sound obssessed lol). It's hard for me to grasp the tought of not having a MC album to hope for, she has been a part of my life for so long. (Webmaster, I promise I'm not weird but I like to share these toughts.) (Monday 13 October 2014; 23:10)

Album success (47,417) by Carol from Spain Many don't want to accept but the problem with the new album wasn't lack of promo or of performances. I believe the problem are the ages we live in. People are just looking for bubblegum music of the moment. Mariah was/isn't/never will be about that. This album in 2006/7 would be a hit in sales because people were receptive to RnB. I don't know, maybe I'm wondering. (Monday 13 October 2014; 23:06)

Travon (47,416) by Marcus from Brazil For you to be such a religious person, you should close your eyes, have two seats, and let others pray in peace. It ain't that deep. You can't pray standing up too, there are no rules. Mariah will appreciate it. (Monday 13 October 2014; 22:38)

LC (47,415) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Your post just got me excited. I would be so happy if she re-releases the album and this time around actually promotes it. After all the crap that Mariah has been getting lately, I think the woman deserves some good news and that would be in the form of MIAM getting the success it deserves. I know it maybe a farfetched dream but well one can hope. Before Mariah released MIAM I was thinking that maybe she will have videos or atleast lyrics videos for all the songs because she clearly said she will release the lyrics on her own terms. I always wondered whatever happened to the rumoured videos of Thirsty and YDKWTD and also the remix video of Beautiful. Because Mariah said that even while she was being rushed to the hospital she told Nick to finish the video and came back the next day to shoot the remaining parts. So why work so hard and not release the video? So I am really excited if there will be a re-release. By the way do you happen to have YouTube links to her performance of Supernatural and the one with the "Money" video? (Monday 13 October 2014; 22:25)

Lee from UK (47,414) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Maybe you should re-read my post before you comment on it. My point wasn't her underwear being flashed, my point was the pictures posted were taken from unflattering angles which makes Mariah look bulkier than she is, and that will piss her off because 1) she is very specific about the side of her face she wants photographed and 2) I am sure she worked hard to lose the weight but these pictures are giving a wrong image and she looks bulky so everyone in the post is hating on it. From the videos she looks beautiful and glamorous, but the pictures are portraying her in the wrong way. And that is what I have been talking about. So before you go on about how many times you saw Mariah's knickers, maybe read the post properly first and try to get the point? (Monday 13 October 2014; 22:19)

Adorable video (47,413) by Ken from USA Whenever I see videos of the kids it really reminds me how lucky Mariah is to have twins at 40, or any children really. She's a wonderful mother. MC's latest video is too cute. (Monday 13 October 2014; 21:47)

Ian James / Marcus (47,412) by Travon..SweetSweetFantasy from USA I am religious. I commit to church every week. I go to men's meetings through church every week. I volunteer any chance I get. I pray all the time and I happen to understand the meaning of prayer. I wasn't saying we shouldn't pray or that we shouldn't love. I don't think you caught in my text that I was going to pray for her in a different way. We should consider how we pray and not pray on speculation. Speculation to me does not make me believe something is happening to her. I choose to wait for her to make a statement. That doesn't mean I will not pray or tell people to stop praying. That would be wrong in God's eyes and I wouldn't do that. So please take a couple of seats. (Monday 13 October 2014; 20:55)

Fly like a bird in Beijing (47,411) by Abraham from USA I was impressed listening to that performance. She sang it live and did great. If only she could sing live and that good in all her songs. Mariah's voice isn't gone. She just has her good days and bad days. So far "Fly like a bird" has been my favorite live performance from the tour. Hopefully she will have more. And maybe do a whole concert live and get some positive feedback. (Monday 13 October 2014; 20:51)

The picture (47,410) by LC from USA Here is a link to the picture Mariah's dancer posted on Instagram. I sure hope this is true. (Monday 13 October 2014; 20:50)

Rerelease (47,409) by LC from USA This may be a little farfetched, but does any one think Mariah might be planning a Beyoncé-like surprise rerelease of MIAM with new songs and videos? I started thinking about it when one of Mariah's backup dancers posted a very interesting picture on Instagram with the hastags "rerelease December" "iTunes", "new single", "DefJamstopbullshitting" among others, while tagging Mariah and Rachel. He also said that they have been playing Mariah's new single in clubs all over Japan. His instagram is @eddiemobeatnecks and he is proven as Mariah's backup dancer. I just started thinking that a lot of it would make sense were it to happen. Beyoncé released her record amidst label trouble, and it's safe to assume that Mariah is going through that as well, from the lack of promo and that hashtag. Also, Bey surprised the world with her iTunes release in December. And, Beyoncé went on tour before her album release to generate buzz for the surprise in December. Also, doesn't anyone find it strange that Mariah has made so many background videos for her tour? Like those cartoon videos, that video where she, Roc and Roe are dancing around during Supernatural, the "Money" video in the background while she sang Obsessed, the extended footage behind her during Cry. She also said that she would only release the lyrics of MIAM under her own terms, in a way she wanted to. What if Mariah is trying to surprise us yet again? I sure hope so. (Monday 13 October 2014; 20:48)

Ian James / prayers (47,408) by Marcus from Brazil Ian James, amen to your last post. It is ridiculous that even suggesting prayers for Mariah could be an issue for some. I'm not religious, but I when someone suggest to say a prayer for her, I see it as act of love for her. Why else would you want to pray for her? (Monday 13 October 2014; 20:16)

Mimi L (47,407) by Lee from UK If Mariah really cared about people getting pictures of her underwear, then she should wear clothes that don't allow her underwear to be seen regardless of the angle. The woman is raised up on stage therefore most people will be looking up, it's hardly surprising. I think I've seen Mariah's knickers more than I care to mention over the years and I don't purposefully go out looking them. (Monday 13 October 2014; 19:08)

Travon Austin (47,406) by Ian James from Sabah, Malaysia We pray for Mariah because we love her. Enough said. Peace. (Monday 13 October 2014; 17:11)

Why so harsh? (47,405) by Tijl from Belgium I have never, but really never ever before posted on any forum endorsing Mariah. Basically because I believe too many people project their frustrations and insecurities onto a subject that is easy to hit. When I read all the comments regarding Mariah's latest tour I feel so sad. Are amateuristic videos really a trustworthy source? We can not neglect the fact that our girl is going through some rough times and that her voice indeed has changed. She is out there for the fans. Do people realise that using the voice at that level is the equivalent of an athlete performing sports at an Olympic level continuously? Give her break. We all know she has the voice, she can do it.. Maybe not all perfect all the time. Question yourself why you have become a fan in the first place. (Monday 13 October 2014; 16:55)
