Messageboard

Ethan / Vogue (49,363) by G.G. from USA I agree with you. Like it or not, we live in a very visual time. Mariah needs an A list stylist, great hair, make-up and clothes at all times. Also a new, innovative choreographer for the Vegas shows. High budget videos and stage performances. Nothing that looks cheap. Please God, I hope she doesn't lay down on a piano or a chaise lounge anymore or have any "diva moments" where a stylist comes out to touch up her makeup/hair. Those "moments" got old a long time ago. It's time to reenergize and gain some positive momentum. (Thursday 22 January 2015; 0:10)

Chris (49,362) by Dove from USA I'm probably just being overly sensitive. In my first post to you, it does seem like I'm attacking you, and I'm sorry about that. Most of the time I don't let things get to me but sometimes they still do. I can't honestly say that I've never been rude to anyone on here so it's totally okay. I'm sorry, too, for attacking you.

#1 CD (49,361) by Ethan from United States I'm surprised that the re-recordings/duets idea generated such a strong discussion when I brought it up. I definitely don't think it's happening. I was just kidding at that time. I'll be surprised in a good way if it happens. All I hope is this CD will include 7 new songs, which will equal to 25 songs to celebrate her 25th anniversary. That's all. The Colosseum is very intimate. It's a theater so no matter where you sit, it's a great view. My seats are at Orchestra 3, row JJ (it's like row 9 or 10) so it's great nonetheless. In my opinion, I don't really like the first 3-5 rows because it will hurt my neck from looking up the entire time. (Wednesday 21 January 2015; 23:57)

Mariah's Vogue article (49,359) by Ethan from United States Did anyone see this article on Vogue? It's time for Mariah to be very glamorous and stylish around. When TEOM came out, her ensembles were chic and she had Andre Leon Talley around here. I remember seeing her images on magazine's best dress lists and stuff. Remember that one outfit she wore to an event with LA Reid and met Tommy and his wife there? And then the next day she arrived in Paris in this nude color dress and both made the best dress list that week. Her videos from TEOM were classics as well. Bring back Bret Ratner. Anyway, looking from her Ellen's appearance, I hope she will become a style icon and graces magazine's covers again, especially American Vogue. If whatever her name West made it, so could Mariah.

Duets and covers album (49,358) by Isabelle from USA I don't like that most of you all are suggesting that Mariah should be doing a duets album of previous recorded material or that she should release a compilation of the duets she recorded in her career. I think that's just a waste of time, no one was really here for the two remixes on MIAMTEC/Angels Advocate singles nor they the Ballads compilation album. I don't think Mariah should be thinking about creating any type of duets covers album anytime soon, if she does I would like her to have original material for that album, so people and critics won't be just comparing and then criticizing her version of the song.

Ms. Shelly (49,357) by Chris from United States Okay, I'm going to put a halt on this. After reading your last post, I've come to realize that maybe I was quite offensive to you, or anyone that puts the lists out there. If I offended you, then I apologize. No excuse, but I didn't even realize it was offensive as I was tying it. In fact, judging by your posts, I can tell you are a kind natured, sweet woman, and I would never want you to feel like I put you down, or am bullying you. That's not my style. I would never want anyone to feel like they can't post on here freely, because I've been there with this site. After a while, it becomes easier to dish it back. (Wednesday 21 January 2015; 23:13)

Abraham (49,356) by Dove from USA Thank you Abraham. I think I have heard Nobody's Supposed To Be Here by Deborah Cox but I'm thinking it was before 2003. I remember hearing it at a car wash in Junior High, if it's the one I'm thinking. I'll look it up when I get home. I've discovered a lot of good music through you guys. Somebody mentioned Sam Smith a while ago and I liked him, the Diana Ross songs someone mentioned I liked. (Wednesday 21 January 2015; 23:11)

Danny (49,355) by Luke from United Kingdom I'm not overly keen on Vision Of Love either. However, I think at the time it was released there was nothing else like it which is why it was such a big hit. I prefer Vanishing much more. Her BET performance of VOL in 2005 was amazing though and is probably the version I listen to the most. (Wednesday 21 January 2015; 22:10)

More on that (49,354) by Dove from USA I just think that if you have enough of a problem to say something, the polite thing is to address the offender so that they can defend themselves. It's rude to make snide remarks and it can make people feel bad. When people cut me down for things I share, it takes the joy out of coming here, and sometimes it makes me feel ashamed, like I'm saying something bad. I expect sarcastic comments on comment sections of blogs and articles but not on a fansite. (Wednesday 21 January 2015; 22:06)

Shelly (49,353) by Chris from United States You can take that message any way you'd like. I was just naming a song I'd love for her to cover. Are you the only one rattling off twenty songs for her to sing, as if she were JLo? I really don't know, and I don't care. Lastly, did you ever realize that maybe I didn't read your list. No, because you were to busy trying to tell me how to navigate this site. I don't need your advice. Thanks. (Wednesday 21 January 2015; 21:28)

Shelly (49,352) by Abraham from USA I happen to like the long lists of songs/dream covers fans post. I like to see what other artists and songs they like. Shelly keep posting as much as you want. I for one enjoy reading them. I've already posted my dream cover list. But now I've been listening to "Nobody's supposed to be here" by Deborah Cox. But the remix. It's from a dance cd called "Fired up" released back in 2003. I've always wished that Mariah had did some type of dance or techno type song. So when you have a chance, give it a listen please.

(49,348) by Chris (49,351) by Dove from USA That was obviously directed at me so you should have directed it to me instead of talking about me like I don't visit this message board every day. Making a list of songs I'd like to hear her sing doesn't mean I think she's "basic". I've been a fan for a long time and have been collecting songs I'd like to hear her sing the whole time. I'm not throwing anything at her, it's not likely that she'll come on here, see my long list, and record every song on it. She hardly does covers as it is. It's a fantasy wish list that I'm sharing with other fans. I like reading lists made by other fans, sometimes I've never heard some of the songs people list, I look them up and try to imagine MC singing them. Some people don't like lists and that's fine. You can tell by glancing if it's a list or not so just don't read it. It's not like I post them every day. Your abrasive attitude is not attractive. (Wednesday 21 January 2015; 20:13)

Little boy (49,350) by Chris from United States I know plenty of us are so excited to get rid of Nick, and rightfully so. But, this last article about him encouraging the residency tells me he will forever make sure that their names are tied together. Maybe he did encourage her to do this residency, but I'm sure he had motives. He was probably trying to line his pockets up some more somehow. It's funny, because he still needs her, but she's going to be just fine. I love how he filed for divorce right after he seen her career was taking major blows. Guess he didn't need her anymore, until he seen her getting her shit together, and miraculously he's back. He's going to go see her during her residency? Why, so he can hopefully throw her off her game? Just wanted to throw in my two cents on this little creep. I hope not to waste anymore posts on "it" again. (Wednesday 21 January 2015; 19:35)

Vision of love (49,349) by Danny Cedar from uk Is it just me or does anyone else here think Vision Of Love isn't Mariah's best song? I've never really liked it or the arrangement and it's not vocally anywhere near one of her best. Obviously it's iconic as it's her debut song and sound and is well written but I just don't get the popularity. Also I wouldn't choose it at all for a wedding or love song. It's very personal to Mariah and a sort of introduction to her journey to where she began in 1990. (Wednesday 21 January 2015; 19:24)

My dream cover (49,348) by Chris from United States I don't have a long list or anything, because I wouldn't just throw a bunch of songs at her, like she's basic. But, the one song I'm dying to hear her cover is Nothing Else Matters by Metallica. Now, I know many of you are probably screaming no and throwing things at your monitor, but listen to this song. I can hear her making this spectacular, in only the way she can. I would say, bringing Marc Shaiman into the picture would be the perfect way for her to respect the song and artist it came from. I know this will never happen, but a boy can dream. (Wednesday 21 January 2015; 19:24)

Everything Fades Away - Sam Smith 11. You're So Cold - Adele 12. After Tonight - Bruno Mars 13. Circles - Alicia Keys (Wednesday 21 January 2015; 18:39)

JJ, USA, tickets (49,344) by John john from UK So I've looked all over and it appears that most seats on the lower area near the stage have gone. Although there are still seats elsewhere. Caesars really don't do bad seats and when we go a few night after opening night we are sitting on the first floor dead centre, still an amazing view. I'm sorry I couldn't help anymore, although I am pleased to see the tickets selling very well, which is always good. Have a look for yourself on axs.com. (Wednesday 21 January 2015; 18:12)

Ardis (49,343) by Dove from USA Thank you Ardis Side note: I forgot to add my desire for a Mariah Carey/Kelly Clarkson Christmas duet singing Little Drummer Boy/Peace on Earth (Bing Crosby and David Bowie style). (Wednesday 21 January 2015; 17:47)

Re: Jake about Nick (49,342) by Ardis Logic from Earth I hope this is just a fake story. If not it just makes Nick look more and more like a narcissist. Taking credit for giving MC the idea in true narc fashion. I'm so annoyed by him. (Wednesday 21 January 2015; 17:14)

Re: Shelly (49,341) by Ardis Logic from Earth You have great taste in music. (Wednesday 21 January 2015; 15:21)

Dream duets (49,340) by Dove from USA I just read my dream duets list again and just to be clear, some of those I wasn't serious. I like all of the songs but couldn't think of anyone to duet with so I just started being "funny". I don't really listen to Madonna, or Eminem (except for Lose Yourself) so I don't even know if they would match. Nick Cannon I was half kidding and I'm sure she could find someone better than Ariana to duet with. Maybe Kelly Clarkson. Obviously I was kidding about Jennifer Lopez. I did that list quick and couldn't think of anyone so I was just being dumb. I do like the songs though. (Wednesday 21 January 2015; 15:16)

Nick encouraging her (49,339) by Jake from New Zealand I doubt it's true. Why would he treat talk her in his voice and then support her? This is his team trying to make him seem like a better person than he really is. (Wednesday 21 January 2015; 15:13)

Covers album (49,338) by Dove from USA Somewhere down the line, I would also like an album of covers. I know MC doesn't like singing other people's songs, but I like hearing her sing different styles and I don't think I'm alone. Thank you for letting me share my ideas on here guys. Her songs, even though they're great and different, they have her unique signature. When she sings covers it's like she's going into someone else's skin. When Do the Bells Ring For Me came on my playlist this morning and I was wowed by the soothing and understated beauty of it. I love when she does the vocal acrobatics but I also love her low key voice. Here's my list: We Are the Champions - Queen Time - Pink Floyd Live and Let Die - Paul McCartney With or Without You - U2 Good Vibrations - The Beach Boys Bridge Over Troubled Water - Simon and Garfunkel At My Most Beautiful - REM Ordinary World - Duran Duran Waltz (Better Than Fine) - Fiona Apple Love Someone - Jason Mraz Magic- Colbie Caillat (or something like it, sung in that register) End of the Road - Boyz II Men Stand By Me - Ben E. King Always and Forever - Heatwave Three Little Birds - Bob Marley Somewhere Over the Rainbow Please Send Me Someone to Love (I don't know who sings this have only heard Fiona Apple's version) Embraceable You What A Wonderful World Young at Heart - Frank Sinatra They Can't Take That Away From Me - F. Sinatra Smile - Nat King Cole You and I - Stevie Wonder And of course (Ardis) anything by Aretha, Pattie LaBelle, and Nina Simone. (Wednesday 21 January 2015; 7:58)

Ardis / dream duets album (49,337) by Dove from USA My list is almost exactly lile Orkun's (49,286). The new verses have to fit the original storyline of the song; the different stories in BGK were so distracting. 01. Migrate - Beyonce 02. Cruise Control - Gwen Stefani 03. X-Girlfriend - Britney Spears (as the ex, telling her side) 04. Standing O - Madonna 05. Thirsty - Nick Cannon rapping (everyone thinks it's about him anyway, might as well go with it) 06. Outside - lead singer from the Fray 07. You Need Me - Jessie J 08. More than Just Friends - Babyface 09. When I Saw You 10. Everything Fades Away 11. You're So Cold - Adele 12. After Tonight - Bruno Mars 13. Circles - Ariana Grande 14. Now That I Know - 5th Harmony (harmonizing Motownphilly style) 15. Yours - Justin Timberlake maybe 16. If We - I don't think she would do it but wouldn't it be a scandal if she did it with Jennifer Lopez? 17. How Am I Supposed To Live - M. Bolton (if it sounds good) 18. Clown - only if it's with Eminem I'm okay with cut and pasting as long as the producer/engineer knows what they're doing and it sounds flawless. The bonus duets on MIAMTEC are not done well, but the songs on the Elvis Presley Christmas Duets album sound really good, so I know it can be done. I think it's okay to use existing vocal tracks that are already flawless, if it sounds organic. Her voice has changed with every era and I want to be able to still hear those different tones and textures in her voice. (Wednesday 21 January 2015; 6:38)

Re: Nick Cannon encouraged Mariah's L.V. residency (49,336) by Dove from USA I hope this is true, it's always good when exes get along. Sometimes I get a little angry with him when I read some of the stories, but maybe they're not true and they really are friends. (Wednesday 21 January 2015; 6:15)
