RJJ12 prayer for MC (50,284)
by Mara from United States
It's nice to see you back posting. I come here everyday although I don't post everyday, I do enjoy your posts. I am with Shelly and always do pray for MC. It's hard enough dealing with issues in your life, let alone doing it in the public eye where people feel the need to judge your every move and mistake. The pressure she must feel just by "being" Mariah Carey. I'd imagine it could make the strongest person crack. She seems very vulnerable right now and we all know how evil this industry is. Count me in, that's all for now. (Thursday 19 February 2015; 3:39)
Ideas (50,283)
by B from USA
Mariah needs to rehire the trainer that got her in shape for E=MC2 and needs to work with a vocal coach. Her mother would be my pick because she's not going to go running to the tabloids looking for a paid day by discussing what state Mariah's voice is in or how bad the damage really is.

Mariah (50,282)
by B from USA
Mariah can score another #1. She just needs to write simple catchy lyrics without references. She also needs to embrace EDM and new producers. Working with JD and Big Jim are not going to get her back on top. She needs to work on her attitude, body, and style. She needs to hire a stylist that can transform her into a fashion icon. Fashion now plays a huge part in the music industry, look at Kanye and Rhianna. Mariah stop with the pop culture references and slang lyrics, they make you look desperate to remain relevant.

Darryle / Rihanna's #1's (50,281)
by Edward from USA
Darryle, Rihanna has 13 #1's, not 10. She's getting closer to breaking Mariah's record, but records are meant to be broken. Rihanna doesn't have to release new albums to get #1's, just by doing some of her usual collaborations, specifically with Eminem, whom she has collaborated with three times already, she'll keep on scoring #1's. The thing is that a #1 these days doesn't equate to a #1 back in the 90's or early 2000's. A single was usually over two dollars and the maxi singles were even more expensive. A regular single from the 90 is equivalent to two or three digital songs or even more if we're talking about the maxi singles. Rihanna will have her run like Mariah, but she won't ever be remembered or put in the same league as Mariah, Whitney, Celine, and Madonna. Rihanna is an artist of the moment, and her star power is starting to deflate already, but she's still young. Mariah will always hold the record for the most album sold for a long time, Rihanna is not the one who'll snatch that away away from her. I wish Rihanna success, she always has the best things to say about Mariah, unlike Katy Perry. If Mariah wants more #1's, she'll have to change the formula and adjust to the current times, just a little. (Thursday 19 February 2015; 1:36)

by Can Özdilek from Turkey
I am afraid Rihanna has 13 #1 singles on the Billboard Hot 100. So, Mariah had better come up with a monster single to continue her reign on the chart. At the age of 45, I am afraid it looks a little impossible. (Thursday 19 February 2015; 1:19)
Darryle (50,279)
by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
You are mistaken. Rihanna has 13 numbers 1s not 10 and she is only 5 number 1s away from Mariah. This is exactly what I was scared of. Someone a few posts down said something like they are not worried about this song going to number 1 because it's not a nice song. But that's a mistake, this song blew everyone's mind because of the unorthodox collaboration and the new kind of sound they experimented with. Nowadays a song doesn't need to be great to hit number 1. This is bad for Mariah as I surely wouldn't want rihanna to upstage her. (Thursday 19 February 2015; 1:09)
Mariah (50,278)
by Liz Archer from Sweden
I strongly feel that Mariah needs a new look. Maybe color her hair dark again or at least cut it short(er). She needs to renew her style. She feels unreachable as an artist when she is always having gowns and bling on the stage. I don't mean she stops completely but maybe try new things and be a bit risk(y). Tone down the sex and show mature, self-confidence and fierce. I know she will never be a stage persona like Beyonce or Lady Gaga, but I would love to see her surprise everyone by showing something she never shown before. I want good things for her and more success. I hope to see that some day. (Wednesday 18 February 2015; 23:55)
Rihanna (50,277)
by Darryle from USA
Rihanna's new song FourFiveSeconds just went to number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100. I'm starting to get worried. She already has 10 number 1s. She's not to far off from breaking Mariah's record. I know Rihanna isn't a better artist than Mariah but breaking Mariah's record will definitely boost her star power. I hope that since Mariah's releasing a #1s album and doing a #1s Vegas residency that she'll bring in another #1 this year. She needs to do something soon because we all know Mariah clings to her #1s with all she's got. (Wednesday 18 February 2015; 21:57)
The Jazz & Blues Festival 2015 live compilation in Jamaica (50,275)
by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End
Setlist (some performances are missing): 1. Fantasy 2. Touch My Body 3. Emotions (missing) 4. I'm That Chick (missing) 5. Triumphant (Get 'Em) (a capella) (missing) 6. Make It Happen 7. Vision of Love 8. My All 9. Honey (So So Def remix) 10. Heartbreaker (remix) 11. Shake It Off 12. I'll Be There (The Jackson 5 cover with Trey Lorenz) 13. Rock With You (Michael Jackson cover by Trey Lorenz, Mariah singing back up, missing) 14. #Beautiful (with Trey Lorenz) 15. Always Be My Baby 16. We Belong Together Apparently parts of the concert are missing but I still appreciate the lambs that filmed the clips and the one who edited it all together. My faves were MIH, VOL, IBT and WBT because Mariah brought so much passion as well as raw vocals to them with some of the most honest adlibs you'll ever hear from her. She's really the consumate jazz singer. (Wednesday 18 February 2015; 20:24)
Shelly (50,273)
by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End
No worries, I totally understand wanting more of Mariah all day every day and getting regular reassurances that she's fine. So I know it comes from a of place. But we can't expect her to be "on" 100% of the time. Mariah's a perfectionist, not perfect. And like you I also want her to produce a documentary film about her creative process as an artist, as per my MC 2015 wish list. Hopefully Vegas will be the backdrop to many of the things we all woulld love to see her do as she continues to grow as an artist. Good things come to those who wait.

Mariah music everywhere (50,272)
by Ardis Logic from Earth
Yesterday I heard MC's music on the radio, at the grocery store and at the hardware store. Wow. (Wednesday 18 February 2015; 18:37)

I love the list of prayers that you posted. This is inspiring me to pray more specifically in my life. Thank you. (Wednesday 18 February 2015; 17:20)
Vegas songs (50,270)
by Darryle from USA
I hope when Mariah does Vegas she does the original versions of the songs. I love the remixes but they aren't what sent the songs to #1. I want to hear the original Heartbreaker. Fantasy, and Honey. I know remixes are probably easier on her voice but it's a Vegas #1s show. Not a Vegas remix show. (Wednesday 18 February 2015; 17:19)
Memoirs and Lee (50,269)
by B from USA
I remember buying Fantasy the day it was released and being in rapture when it debuted at #1. Then buying the album and follow up singles and requesting them nonstop. Mariah spent six months at #1 with the singles from Daydream, that is an amazing thing, half a year at #1. I feel that Memoirs was rushed because they knew that Obsessed was a hit. I know it was delayed once or twice but I don't think the material was changed or rearranged. I think Mariah needs to regroup and find some new producers that can provide her with beats that are fire and inspire her to write songs that are undeniable and catchy. (Wednesday 18 February 2015; 16:46)
#1's (50,268)
by B from USA
#1's needs a classic Carey ballad. Simple and elegant. No attempts at being trendy or of the moment. She needs the producers that Miguel and Frank Ocean work with. It needs a strong verse, chorus, verse structure that is easily followed and an EDM/disco vocal showcase. I would love for her to rerecord Meteorite with Mark Ronson or Calvin Harris tweaking the original. I want Mariah to hold the record for most #1's. She's still relevant. I think if she wasn't the media wouldn't be all up in her business. She's the last diva standing and she needs to remind the public that she is Mariah Carey, that underneath all that glitters is gold. (Wednesday 18 February 2015; 16:39)
Madonna (50,267)
by Lee TS from USA
So I saw her new video and thought it was pretty cool with a cute song I can bop to. While browsing through the comments, it totally reminded me of M. How Madonna is not receiving radio airplay, Gaga fans hating, her fans advocating to support support support. And then there's this whole thing about a UK station banning Madonna because of her age. Although I've never been a huge fan of Madge, I do respect her as a queen and she's alright in my book (and I do like quite a few of her earlier songs). But anyways, it made me sad to think that this could happen or is happening to M. I remember either reading or watching Elvis Duran, a radio host, saying how M didn't receive a lot of support for MIAM. It's just sad. And I think as fans we never want to see our idol get older because we will always see them how we first fell in love with them. And before anyone brings up their beef, M has very subtly complimented Madonna on AI when the contestants performed "Like A Prayer" and she called Madonna a trailblazer in some obscure interview last year. There's room for everyone but I just want M on top that's all, haha. And I want all the little lambs to experience their first successful Mariah Carey era. I've been a fan since Daydream but I still remember the thrill of seeing Heartbreaker topping Billboard and coming to this site exclaiming that it was my first time seeing M scoring a #1 hit, lol.

Re: Prayers for Mariah (50,256) by RJJ12 (50,265)
by Dove from USA
That's a good idea. One day out of the week, for how many weeks? What day? I have a book of prayers I use to pray for my son and I roughly listed some ideas from it (in case someone wants to, but doesn't know what to pray for): protection from harm feeling/being loved and accepted health and healing (if she needs to see a doctor that God will show her which Dr and pray for Drs hands and mind to be divinely guided) avoid alcohol, drugs, and other addictions (I'm not accusing her of using anything, but included to cover all bases) finding the perfect mate living free of unforgiveness restoring and maintaining relationships with all family members (including Allison and Nick) motivation to respect and properly care for her body sound mind freedom from fear seeking wisdom and discernment growing in faith gift of joy destroying an inheritance of family bondage success in her career (Vegas shows will be wildly successful, her voice will come through, all aspects of the production will go off without a hitch, album sales will skyrocket, etc.) staying attracted to purity learning to speak life thankfulness (Wednesday 18 February 2015; 15:11)

Your photo looks amazing. I actually thought it was a new photo for a while. You should replace whoever does Mariah's photoshop. It'd be a major step up. (Wednesday 18 February 2015; 6:22)
A date / Nick (50,261)
by Lee TS from USA
Let's say Mariah was seen out on a date with The Rock or some random billionaire, how would you feel about it? Would it be like, "go girl do your thang" or "ewww, no class whatsoever". First reports of the divorce surfaced back in like August and Nick said they had been separated for several months already. Say when Roc takes North to prom in high school, wouldn't M and Nick be there? And when Roc marries Blue wouldn't the parents be there? Or when Roe gives birth to Marilyn wouldn't M and Nick want to be there? All I'm saying is I hope they handle their bidness peacefully and can have some kind of friendship for the kids. It's like lambs are ready to attack Nick for being a cheater, liar, on the come up, whatever. He may not be a good husband to M, but that doesn't make him a bad father to Dembabies. I'll probably get hate for this but whatever, if you look at "I don't know her" you would never know she was going through a divorce when she embarked on a world tour with her young twins. Sound familiar? Or she also flopped hard with her album last year. "Her" from the block is out here killing it while looking flawless. But anyways, I hope M is working hard on rehearsals for Vegas and maybe release a new single to promote it. It doesn't have to be a #1, I'll be ecstatic with a top 10 just so she's being heard again. (Wednesday 18 February 2015; 5:51)
Shelly / Jermaine Dupree (50,259)
by Abraham from USA
I think a lot of us want to see what Mariah is up to lol. Just to know how's she doing. I think she's more and likely rehearing for her Vegas shows. But I agree, a behind the scenes or documentary would be great. Also, anyone wonder if Jermaine will help produce anything for Mariah's next album? I've been wondering what's he been up to as well. (Wednesday 18 February 2015; 3:48)
My All cover in Spanish (50,258)
by 123 from USA
This is an old cover of Mariah's My All by a Bachata group and they do an amazing job singing the song in Spanish. The original translation didn't really work, but this one is great. Instead of attempting to match Mariah's every note, the lead singer sings it his own way and makes a great cover, which artists usually never accomplish covering her work. There is also an English version as well. (Wednesday 18 February 2015; 2:31)
