Mandy Monroe (50,665) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Woah. That's brilliant. Take a screenshot of your post and tweet it to L.A. Reid and Mariah. I guess MC herself won't arrange this (because well she might be shy) but L.A. Reid or her team can definitely pull this off. She is in good terms with almost all the people she collaborated with and I am sure Beyonce, Rihanna and the rest would gladly come. This will be huge. It'll show everyone that MC is and will remain the queen. (Thursday 5 March 2015; 21:21)

Commodore (50,664) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Do you have a link to the interview? Did he say upcoming season or upcoming season finale? I have been hearing that she'll be there for the finale. Now if it's next season then it's going to be a long wait, but if it's the finale then it's just 2 episodes away. (Thursday 5 March 2015; 21:19)

Empire (50,663) by Commodore from USA I read in a recent interview done by Lee Daniels that Mariah Carey will appear in the upcoming season. If this is true and she does a song then she will be working with Timberland. He is the executive music producer for the series. This is one rumor I hope is true. (Thursday 5 March 2015; 18:00)

Silver anniversary concert (50,662) by JAXGH from United States On June 12 (MC's debut) Mariah is exactly 25 years in the business and this needs to be celebrated the right way. A star studded anniversary concert would be amazing. Everyone needs to be there. Boyz II Men, Michael Buble, Jay Z, Miguel, Busta Rhymes, Missy Elliot, Ne-Yo, Westlife, Joe, 98 Degrees, Usher, Justin Bieber, Bone Thugz, Snoop, The Dream, John Legend, Wale, Jermaine, Babyface, T-Pain, all her amazing collaborators. Even all the divas she inspired/was inspired by - Diana Ross, Patti Labelle, Kelly Rowland, Beyonce, Rihanna. Who ever the hell she wants. I'm sure it's possible, like forget their talent fees. It's freaking Mariah Carey 25 years in the business and I'm sure it would be an honor to be a part of such monumental event. It's just a matter of being contacted. Mariah deserves an amazing tribute. This would be a glimmer of hope on getting the respect she deserves. Once the people see a lot of artists actually love her and appreciate her talent, they will realize how much of a legend she is. It also needs to be televised and shown the right away. With tidbits, unknown stories, testimonies about how each artist was inspired by MC, rare footage, artists talking about Mariah positively (vocals, artistry, inspiration, work ethic, generosity, kindness, her beautiful mind). Nothing negative. It's about time. Not a single artist can compete with her legacy and longevity. 25 years baby. She deserves this concert. (Thursday 5 March 2015; 17:38)

Edward (50,661) by Dove from USA This is off topic now but I've been thinking about what you said about WW and I think you're right. I had forgotten about the Aaliyah biopic. I didn't watch it but I read the reviews and apparently she was airing dirty laundry that may not have even been true. Nobody deserves that. I wouldn't want that to happen to MC so I take back what I said. (Thursday 5 March 2015; 15:34)

RJJ12 (50,660) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Your list of songwriters/producers MC should work with is perfect. Atleast one if not all of those collaborations is likely to hit #1. The list got me all excited. Imagine the possibilities. MC is hot musically on her own, but pair that with a current hot producer/singer/songwriter and bam, the charts will eat it up. As for your other post about her having a lot of songs from MIAM, I totally agree. Like you pointed out that she did mention in 2013 that she has enough songs for the CD, yet she continued recording. Plus I mentioned in a post that even after releasing MIAM, she still kept posting pictures showing she is still recording. Plus between 2010 and 2014, I don't think someone like MC, who is always so much into music, just sat idle and didn't write any songs. Nick said around the time she was pregnant and right after the birth of dembabies that MC is continuously writing and recording and taking notes from her older albums. So that means she was working on a new album as early as 2010-2011. Her new album was probably going to come out in 2012, but due to the sad failure of Triumphant (woah failure of Triumphant), she probably abandoned plans to release the album and went on recording more. So I think MC has quite a lot of material in hand and I too believe (and hope) that an album will follow right after the re-issue of #1's. But I do hope MC takes notes and collaborates with some of the names you mentioned if she wants a surefire hit. (Thursday 5 March 2015; 14:43)

Mariah, Timbaland, Empire (50,659) by T from USA My dream would be that Mariah Carey seizes the moment and gets into the studio with Timabaland. He's doing big things right now in music and the show Empire (which is a highly rated popular TV show right now). Mariah's been invited to guest on the show and since Tim is the musical director it would make sense that a song they produce together is featured. It would make a perfect track for #1's and would pretty well guarantee Mariah shoot to the top of the charts, where she belongs. Let's all tweet to Mariah with the hastag: #MariahTimbalandSong. It's just the right move at this point. (Thursday 5 March 2015; 14:40)

JD (50,658) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I am actually relieved that JD and Mariah are on good terms. I can't say for sure, but being the private person Mariah is, I think she only lets few people into her inner circle. She is always surrounded by a huge entourage, but I think she has very few people she can truly trust, and JD seemed to be one of those people. So I am glad that they are together. I don't mind them working together. I think they can easily try out different sounds because they are both great at it. So yay. If Jermaine likes it, then I like it. (Thursday 5 March 2015; 14:35)

JD (50,657) by B from USA I'm kind of disappointed with the news that Mariah is working with JD again. On a positive note, Make It Look Good is a great song. If they deviate from the formula it could work. I just don't want another cheap remake of WBT. (Thursday 5 March 2015; 13:25)

Re: Baby / "Heartbreaker" jeans (50,656) by Billy from Greece Just have a look at Lenny Kravitz's 2000 "Greatest Hits" set and you'll see how she influenced guys wearing their jeans also. (Thursday 5 March 2015; 9:39)

Saving songs (50,655) by 123 from USA I do believe that Mariah has song great songs from the MIAMEC sessions that weren't on the album. In March 2013 she said that she "has more than enough songs" but in the process of finishing things and mixing and all that. Then went on to continue to record in the late summer and even up to the Spring of 2014 adding songs from those sessions on the album instead. I think she might put some of those on the re-issue and then quickly put out a new album with all new material if the re-issue does well. Just my thoughts. (Thursday 5 March 2015; 8:59)

Jermaine Dupri? (50,654) by Orkun from The Netherlands Dupri?? The Beatles are more relevant. In that case, she might as well team up with Walter A. again. That could be magic. (Thursday 5 March 2015; 8:42)

Lauryn and Mariah (50,653) by 123 from USA They should still try to create a duet together. Lauryn re-signed with Sony and Mariah is with Epic which is also under the Sony family, it could work this time around. (Thursday 5 March 2015; 8:33)

We Belong Together / Lotus Flower Bomb Mashup (50,652) by 123 from USA The best WBT mashup I have heard. Both of these songs fit amazingly. I hear this version of the song all the time now. Take a listen and let me know what you think. (Thursday 5 March 2015; 8:30)

Producers / songwriters / artists for next project (50,651) by 123 from USA I would love for her to work with the following list of folks for the next project: Mark Ronson - #1 Song right now / Amy Winehouse. Happy Perez/Miguel - Pop Soul perfection. DJ Mustard - The Beautiful remix was hot. Jerrin Howard - I loved Wale's Lotus Flower Bomb. Pharrell - I always wanted them to give it another shot, I know they can make magic together. I loved Happy. Timbaland - Empire's music producer. He also complimented her on MIAM saying it was a good album and he was proud of her. Bigg D and Lamb - An SWV song they produced on their reality show sounded amazing, like an updated R&B 90s song. Sia - She wrote Diamonds for Rihanna, a great song. They would write something classic. Drake - Best rapper out there, they would merge well. Noah 40 Shebib - Drakes go to producer. Jeremy Lloyd - Marian Hill producer Jazz meets Hip Hop. Frank Ocean - He can write a good song when he isn't trying to be too cool for school, Beyonce's I Miss You is brill. Bruno Mars - No brainer. Q-Tip - I thought Meteorite was a nice change for her, it would be great to see what else they would cook up. Emeli Sande - Co-wrote Alicia Keys' Brand New Me. Lyrically brilliant song, it really hits the soul. What do you all think? (Thursday 5 March 2015; 8:27)

Producers / Jermaine (50,650) by 123 from USA I'm glad they are still working together. Every song Jermaine contributed to MIAM was great. Make It Look Good doesn't sound like anything else they have ever created together. YDKWTD was such a sassy song that mixed classic and new Mariah perfectly. It would have gone number 1 with promo and good performances. Even though Mariah has a couple of producers that she has consistently worked with, namely Jermaine and Big Jim, they have always made great songs together. I also don't understand the comments indicating that she works with the same producers all the time. With every album she always picks a handful of different producers to contribute a song into the mix. Jermaine didn't even get a song on Memoirs, which is so strange, and I've always wished to find out why that didn't happen. I think Mariah and LA Reid are hungry enough again to make another big hit. If they can both play their roles well, (LA, a big push/promotion and Mariah, great songs, vocals, and great performances), it can happen again. She is always one song way from making another hit. (Thursday 5 March 2015; 7:44)

In responce to Babe from Sweden (50,649) by Amber C from USA Mariah has influenced my makeup more than my style. When I was finally old enough to wear makeup I arched my eyebrows like a rainbow like Mariah has them, and to this day the makeup in the "We belong together" video is my blueprint. Lol. I am not even big on wearing make up, but that era was Mariah's best makeup era. The Glitter Charmbracelet era was Mariah's best hair era (the short hair with the bangs were everything), and debut Mariah (before the "turtle necks") was my favorite fashion era, her body. A girl can only dream. (Thursday 5 March 2015; 7:16)

Songwriting (50,648) by Commodore from USA Hey everyone. I have always been a huge fan of Mariah Carey's songwriting and I post to this site regularly. I wanted to share the news with my fellow lambs that I have released my first project, called SpaceShipDreamz. I used a layering style similar to MC. Check me out: Derrick Commodore Spaceshipdreamz via Spotify. (Thursday 5 March 2015; 3:20)

How has Mariah influenced your personal style, if at all? (50,647) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End So that above clip from circa 2007 had me going down fashion memory lane with Mariah. And I remember how much I gravitated towards anything that looked like her signature Victor Alfaro dresses. I even went to my aunt's wedding with a little black dress. I honestly couldn't have cared less because I wanted to look chic at every cost back when I was a teen in the 90's. I didn't realise at the time I was more or less trying to emulate Mariah's style. It just so happens I also grew to have a similar build to hers, curvy mesomorph. I remember during the Rainbow era how she single handedly changed the way girls and women wore jeans for over a decade after the Heartbreaker video came out. I cut the top of a pair of my light blue jeans too before the fashion industry caught up, and wore them one summer. I also never follow trends. It's easier to follow what looks good on my body and makes for a more cohesive and timeless wardrobe. So, what say you, how has Mariah influenced your style? (Thursday 5 March 2015; 1:19)

Working with Jermaine, again (50,646) by G.G. from USA That is disappointing, to me. She's gone to that well one too many times. Try something new, please. I also have doubts about her going to Epic with L.A. Reid. I think he'll do what he has to to get her to sign with Epic and then drop the ball. (Thursday 5 March 2015; 1:12)

Mariah and Lauryn (50,645) by Jono from USA I can't believe a duet almost happened. Lauryn at her peak with Miseducation and Mariah finally independent and doing her own R&B thing. That would have been absolutely epic. It's a shame that it didn't pan out, but hey maybe it still might? (Thursday 5 March 2015; 0:58)

The band is back together (50,644) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Ha. Turns out MC and JD are back in the studio working on new music. I'm not mad, but it has to be more to it since they opted for L.A. over NY and Atlanta. Hmmm. Mariah's still managing herself quite nicely. She seems to agree with herself swimmingly these days. We like that. OAN I want a club banger to rock out to this summer. Or a readily stripped down ballad. Honestly, just surprise us with a totally new wall of sound. But never the less, I'm excited and if Jermaine likes it, then I (usually) like it too. (Thursday 5 March 2015; 0:55)

Jermaine Dupri (50,643) by Darryle from USA I guess Jermaine's feud with Mariah about being her manager didn't end their friendship. He posted to his twitter: "In the studio all night with Mariah Carey." I don't really care if Mariah works with Jermaine or not, but I am glad that their 20 year long friendship/partnership wasn't ruined. (Wednesday 4 March 2015; 23:33)

My mistake (50,641) by Amber C from USA Im sorry for even bringing up The Beatles. Lol. But my Beatles talk stemmed from my post about the #1s. When I referenced Mariah and The Beatles in the same sentence I was referring to the #1s. I don't mean to personally attack anyone. Tbh I keep fellow board members names in my head, but when I get to wrting the message I discard names. Please stop getting offended and if you aren't cool. I put love in everything I write for the love of Mariah. (Wednesday 4 March 2015; 23:30)

Abraham / Andrew / Edward (50,640) by Dove from USA Thank you Abraham. Andrew, Yes. Edward, maybe you're right. I honestly don't watch her show and have only seen some of the clips recently. The MC interview from 2005 is one of my favorite MC interviews. I watched the radio interview wITH Whitney on YT but I don't know what she had said about WH before or after. I watched the clip with the crocodile tears and it seemed sincere to me, but maybe I see it that way because I don't know the whole history. WW doesn't seem that bad. I think she says things for ratings but I don't think she actually has malicious intent. (Wednesday 4 March 2015; 22:42)
