Nick (42,381) by Che from USA I'm curious how many of the people who are going in on Nick for his recent interview actually watched it. Nick didn't go in to the interview and immediately start talking about these other women or any of the other topics. He was asked a question. He answered it. The interviewer put the more crude terminology on it. Nick asked him could he not put it that way. He mentioned they waited untill their wedding night. That's something Mariah herself has confirmed in interviews when asked (there are just certain questions she doesn't consistently get asked that he does). He lauded her and the fact that they waited untill they got married to have full intimacy. Nick himself actually used the term make love until when presented with the last question and the caveat being that he had to say the exact same wordage to respond that was said to him. A far more bigger deal is being made of it this than needs to be in my opinion. If he had gone on the air and just went into it that way I could see the reason for ire but in terms of what was asked and how I feel it's just ridiculous. His responses to any interview question can never take away from her legacy. It's hers so please stop acting like his responses are the end all be all of her career when reality except when asked (such as directing a video) he has nothing to do with it.

Nck Cannon (42,380) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Wow, I was so shocked when I saw the interview. That was so disrespectful. I honestly don't know any of Nick's work and didn't even know about him prior to his marriage to Mariah. But he always sounded so well-mannered and in love with M, so I thought he's good for and to her. What he did in that interview was disgusting. I thought he was a gentleman, but he not only was super disrespectful to MC, but also to all the women in his life who, probably at one point of time made him happy. I can think of a million ways he could have dodged that question and saved MC from all the embarrassment. Also no matter what went wrong between him and his previous romances, no woman deserves to be talked about in public like that, that includes Kim. Nick now sounds like a teenage boy who wants to brag about his "achievements in the bedroom". Not only did he embarrass Mariah and all the other women, he made sure to claim that these are just a few of his many partners. Nick grow up, you are in your 30s, you are not a kid. You are not only married, you have kids, so have some respect for your family and dress your age. (Saturday 29 March 2014; 10:16)

Dream (42,378) by Bill from the UK I had a dream I was at a fancy restaurant and Mariah was performing. The maître d' then said as he knew I was a fan, she would perform sat at my table. I was over the moon. She arrived, and looked completely different because she was in regular clothes and hadn't applied her make up or done her hair yet. We hugged. She went to get ready and then she called my phone because she was nervous. We had a heart to heart and then cheekily asked when her new album was coming out. She said she felt the bubble had gone off the wine and wasn't going to release it, and I was devastated. I hope that element doesn't turn true. As he Nick, the man needs to exercise some decorum. It's just low rent to talk like that, about any lady, not just our Mariah. (Saturday 29 March 2014; 8:56)

Re Nick drama (42,377) by ss from Canada Nicholas Scott Cannon and Mariah Carey are two grown adults. His behaviour is what it is, he's blunt about his life and he always has been. I don't condone what he said but I'm not surprised either. He's got an album to promote with an image to portray which is why he's dressing in tanks and chains for whatever reason. MC's well aware of the man she married and vice versa. Who are we to criticize their choices and words spoken? They are both public figures and everything they say will be talked about and scrutinized by the media. Mariah made a great choice in marrying Nick because they created two beautiful children and are a happy family. Mariah is a smart woman who's been through a lot in her personal and public life, she wouldn't marry Nick if she didn't have an inclination of seeing a future with the guy. He obviously loves her as does she, it's not something to read under the table. Their relationship is a personal matter and calling names to her significant other isn't really going to change the fact that they're still together. If she's happy who are we to judge in her love? We are already judged by others by being a part of her "lambily" or however you wish to be called as her fan/friend. After all Mariah's essence is love, let's spread that instead of something that would hurt someone else. (Saturday 29 March 2014; 6:56)

Re Stephen (42,376) by ss from Canada Cool, Butterfly era and teal, pretty funky combo. Please do take a pic and share. I know it's something special so, if you feel like you're ready to share we'd be happy to see it. (Saturday 29 March 2014; 6:34)

Nick (42,375) by Daydream327 from USA I never thought I'll say this but I'm really starting to question Nick's devotion to Mariah. I've noticed that Mariah has really been calling him out lately. I even remember seeing an interview during YME promo run where Mariah said something along the lines of "the world gets the best of Nick Cannon" kinda like he has another side to him not just that loving, funny guy. Idk but I just don't like it at all. Mariah has never been the one to share private details, and Nick is doing the exact opposite. It actually hurt me to see him describe Mariah as such, like she's just another "famous" women under his belt he can brag about. He could have easily avoided that question or went on to the next. And this look he has with all the gold chains and tank top. What is that about? Anyway, I'm sure Mariah doesn't like it and if he's gonna talk this way about Mariah Carey then he doesn't deserve her.

Nick Cannon (42,374) by B from USA Nick left Nicole for Mariah. He admitted that on his radio show. He needs to learn from his wife what to share and what to keep private. She is classy and he is trashy. MC can do some much better than Nick. I think he has hurt her image and career. Since she married him her career has suffered. He is a joke. I hope she can get him to shut his mouth because his comments about his sex life with past partners and with Mariah is so bleak and makes him look childish. Nick Cannon needs to shut up and stop damaging MC career and legacy with his comments. I like him. He is a good looking guy. I liked him and thought he was hot when he was on All That back in the day but no he is a classless man acting like a spoiled little boy and then saying he was with Kim K which no one needed to know but he wanted to look cool like Christina, Selita, Nicole, and Kim all had sex with me I'm a stud. (Saturday 29 March 2014; 1:20)

Nick (42,373) by Gilbert from USA Nick is her husband, and I can respect that. I don't follow him nor do I care for him but I do care for Mariah as we all do. So I just really wish he just sticks to being her husband only. He doesn't need to share private moments or direct videos, or actually for that matter be any part of her career. I just wish she wouldn't involve him because it damages her career. (Friday 28 March 2014; 23:08)

About Nick (42,372) by Anonymous from You know what, days ago I leave a post about Nick and the fact that I can't stand him (all the people put me thousands of thumbs down lol), and yesterday when I was seaching for some good things about MC birthday I just found out that interview and I was like, this idiot again. Really he is a big loser. Mariah always kept her privacy in that way privacy but this "person" is going too far. A gentleman doesn't kiss and tell, and I'm going to say it again and again no matter how many thumbs down I get. I don't stand Nick Cannon. (Friday 28 March 2014; 22:23)

Nick is getting absolutely ridiculous (42,371) by Daydream327 from USA Okay, not trying to stir anything but it has been a big headline today on all the blogs. I did respect Nick but now I have lost all respect for him. So I've just seen a recent interview he had with Big Boy radio and I am appalled. He went into detail about him and Mariah's sex life and even went on to talk about all the famous women he has "smashed" up to this point, and included Mariah in the list. Wow. How dare he disrespect Mariah like that? I can't even know what to say. This man is supposed to be a reflection of Mariah and is supposedly a "great" husband, but what great husband would do something so childish and disrespectful. And in the public at that? We all know MC loves very hard but I hope she can let her guard up and have a serious talk with him about it. Wasn't she just saying that he needs to shut up and not give TMI? And yet he's still doing it. (Friday 28 March 2014; 20:22)

Nicks radio interview (42,370) by G.G. from USA Did anyone else catch the radio interview that Nick did where he was talking about sleeping with Kim Kardashian and then went on to say that on his and Mariah's honeymoon, he "f***** the s*** of her". That is just tacky and gross. If I was her, I would be really ticked off. (Friday 28 March 2014; 20:02)

Favorite cover songs (42,369) by Anonymous from Mariah is the queen of covering songs from other artists. I really enjoy everytime she remakes a classic song and the music critics too. My favorites (studio covers): I'll be there (Jackson's 5) Against all odds (Phill Collins) Bringing on the heartbreak (Def Leppard) My avorites (live covers): If only you knew/somewhere over the rainbow (Patti Labelle) You and I (Stevie Wonder) With you I'm born again (Friday 28 March 2014; 16:00)

The first time I heard of Mariah Carey (42,368) by Myles from CT, USA Believe it or not, I used to be Whitney Houston's number one fan. It was around 1992 and The Bodyguard soundtrack had just come out. I was a young 8 year boy who would listen to Whitney's powerful instrument over and over in my room. I knew of Mariah and I didn't even give her a chance, I was all about Whitney. Does anyone else remember the "Whitney vs Mariah" show on VH1? Anywho, "Dreamlover" came out and I about had a homosexual panic. Music Box was the first cd album I ever had, which I got that following Christmas. Ever since then Mariah has been the queen of my heart. Although I must admit growing up listening to Mariah between 1993-1995 were the best years a fan could have. (Friday 28 March 2014; 14:37)

Tennessee (42,367) by Pablo from Spain To totally change the subject, yesterday I watched Tennessee for the first time to celebrate Mariah's anniversary. Mariah did an awesome job, although the movie got kind of long for only being 1 hour and 40 minutes (not her fault). Right To Dream remains one of my fave songs. I had almost forgotten all about this movie. So glad I got the time to see it. Mariah is underrated as an actress, but I do prefer her singing, of course. (Friday 28 March 2014; 12:45)

Happy anniversary divas (42,366) by pharaoh_shawn from New Zealand Wow anniversary time for 3 awesome divas this month: Miss Mariah Carey, Diana Ross and Aretha Franklin. Wow is all I can say. I love you Mariah. (Friday 28 March 2014; 9:42)

First time (42,365) by Albert P. from Indonesia The first time I knew of Mariah's existence was back in 1998. I saw her performance on TV. She sang "My All" for her Japan concert and it was televised live on MTV Awards. I was not a fan yet until I woke up after my appendicitis surgery. I was lying down in the ICU when that same song played on the radio. When I got discharged from the hospital, I remember asking my cousin who that woman is and if she is famous. My cousin looked at me like, "Are you being sarcastic?" Lol. Anyway, I began collecting Mariah's music ever since. (Friday 28 March 2014; 7:19)

Mus what a great post (42,364) by Me. I am Carly from USA Happy birthday Mus lamby. Thank you for summing things up, I think that for most of the lambs the connection is a love of music and some great sense of loneliness and inferiority mixed with strength. I do think this is why we are so dependent on Mariah and her music. As a kid I also just sat and read the lyrics and just cried and cried, so cathartic. (Friday 28 March 2014; 3:45)

Happy anniversary Mariah (42,363) by Manny from U.S. Happy Anniversary Mariah who is eternally 12. Wow, I still remember when I was in 6th grade watching her on MTV. I wanted to know everything about her. I bought the album. I had to buy the cassette different times, as I played it nonstop and it would get damaged. Who remembers those days? I bought the VHS The First Vision and play it nonstop. My favorite part was her backstage at the Saturday Night Live singing "All in your mind" acapella.The high notes. (Friday 28 March 2014; 3:39)

Mariah speaks for my soul (42,362) by Me. I am Carly from USA I had seen Mariah on Arsenio and myself and my sister would sing her songs, my father was a Musial so we grew also with bands in the house well the trailer in southern Cali. Poor outsiders and I was so shy and so tall. I became a lamb with her Thanksgiving day special her so gas made me just cry and cry. I needed a friend, I needed to find my inner hero, I needed a vision of love and a fantasy to come true. I was bullied very badly until I started to sing and then entered the top school choir which changed my life. My senior solo always be my baby I put I. My year book see you on the farm in upstate NYC and my high-school nickname was Mariah. I moved to NYC, finally met Mariah at the Butterfly sighting. Lamb forever always.

Mimi and J.Lo (42,361) by G.G. from USA This article explains it all. (Friday 28 March 2014; 1:03)

Carlos Jaramillo (42,360) by Musti from UK Wow you must really love Outside. It's definitely one of her best songs ever. So heartfelt. Everytime I listen to it I find myself back in my room as a teenager, reading and singing along to the lyrics. I hardly listen to it now, it brings back a lot of painful memories. Like you said I'm sure a lot of other fans that felt different connected to that song similarly - multiracial, homosexual, etc. Especially since those issues still classified people as outsiders in the 90s (not that they still aren't now today). But you're right, the song speaks to anyone who feels different, like an outsider and like something's supposed to be wrong with that. She is living proof that being an outsider makes us better somehow. (Thursday 27 March 2014; 23:32)

Bill from UK (42,359) by Gilbert from USA Hey Bill, you rock, thanks. That confirmed it for me. I didn't remember all that until I read more into it on a site. (Thursday 27 March 2014; 21:38)

Gilbert / J Lo (42,358) by Bill from the UK Haha J Lo autocorrected to J Lol. Anyway, yes there is a history between the two. When Mariah left Sony for Virgin, it wasn't on the best of terms. Sony had the rights to the Glitter soundtrack in Japan, and so Tommy Mottola allegedly had access to the songs before they were released. J.Lo released a song which used an obscure sample (Firecracker by Yellow Magic Orchestra) which was the sample used in the original version of Loverboy. Mariah had to re-sing and re-record the song with a new sample (Candy) and Mariah's been pissed at J.Lo and Sony's campaign to derail her career ever since. (Thursday 27 March 2014; 21:23)

First time (42,357) by Bill from the UK I've enjoyed reading gall of your stories, this is a great subject. I first heard Dreamlover back in 1993. My older brother was obsessed with the MTV Countdown and I used to watch it with him. I remember loving her look, and her voice. I thought she had a speech impediment due to the way she sang "insi-eede" and "tii-eem" lol. Then Hero came out and I again loved the song and the video, and remembered seeing the Hero cassette in a record shop and almost buying it. My real obsession came, like many of us Europeans, when Without You took our entire continent by storm. I wonder why that song connected to us all so much. I bought the cassette single, and soon after the Music Box album. My bedroom was being painted and I was sharing my brother's room in a sleeping bag, and I would listen to the album on my Walkman all night long. Reading the lyrics, admiring the pictures, and eager to listen to her other records that were advertised in the inlay. (Thursday 27 March 2014; 21:18)

Mariah and J.Lo (42,356) by Gilbert from USA Is there beef between these two? I was checking out #mc327 and her most crazy moments and she was asked about J.Lo and she replied "I don't know her" like she was irked and there is a some statement about her being on stage with a pig rather then perform with J.Lo.
