Next album (48,821) by Darryle from USA I know a lot of people are really wanting Mariah to do a jazz/blues album next. I don't think it's right. While I'm completely here for Mariah doing one I don't think it'd be right for the very next album. I think Mariah needs do whatever it takes for her next album to be big. I know some people don't care about charts but I do. I don't want Mariah to go out as someone who couldn't get a hit. Especially since next year is her 25 year in the industry (assuming the album comes in 2015) who wouldn't want her to be on top. The next album needs to be number one and have the song of the decade on it. So hopefully she'll give us a Daydream/Butterfly/TEOM feel with the next album since those are her best albums.

Mariah's blues all that jazzed (48,820) by Spir Ja from USA I've always loved and listened to the one off dance remixes. The improve stuff and the [...] of her are just nothing but a reflection of her vocal majestry. She's always [...] she's gonna do this album. She was [...] on those songs. She probably had it tucked "away" as a post drama mid career jaunt. Well the drama of her life transition now [...] it's [...]. Time for the [...] (Monday 29 December 2014; 7:10)

Nick's problem (48,819) by Marissa from USA I think Nick's biggest issue is that he's a people pleaser and will try to entertain people at all costs. He doesn't seem to realize that he can be entertaining and still have boundaries about his private life. (Monday 29 December 2014; 6:41)

Nick (48,818) by Darryle from USA I think a major cause of their separation probably has something to do with Nick cheating. It hasn't been confirmed that Nick cheated but I think Mariah's intuition is right. Nick wanted Mariah for her money and the weight her name carries he doesn't care about her. With each article I read about Nick and Mariah Nick that my opinion of him worsens. It's like he doesn't respect Mariah enough to keep his mouth shut. (Monday 29 December 2014; 5:51)

Next album - The Mariah Carey Show (48,817) by Warrior Butterfly from USA As a vintage lamb , I think a Jazz/Blues album could be every cleansing with a Sarah McLachlan feel album. Draw from her real life in a more raw way, direct (Eminem type of honesty) where we as general listeners know exactly what the message is without following his career extensively. It could be a very refreshing recharge of her work. I know MC writes in a broader style so everyone can take what her music means to them, and she has achieved this type of honesty before without much guess work or metaphors Looking In, MIH, Outside, CME, Petals - if you already thoroughly familiar with MC's bio - Sunflowers For Roy, to name a few stand outs. The average listener dipping in and out of MC's music in general might question what does she mean by this line, verse or song for those who really dig lyrical content or story telling. Someone not aware of lamb culture if you will, could get lost in her lyrical presentation and think what was that about exactly? (Monday 29 December 2014; 5:50)

Jazz album (48,816) by Frisbee from U.S. I'm new here. Does anyone remember "The Wind" from "Emotions"? She could do a jazz album with some Ella, Dinah, and Nancy Wilson covers. I think sometimes artists insist on wanting to do what they want in the studio. Sometimes it's better to listen to a producer who makes suggestions about which direction an artist should go. Look at Streisand, Manilow, any of those people who went in a million different directions with their music. It wasn't the end of the line for them. If anything, it breathed life back into their careers. She hasn't lost her voice, this is a woman who can do whatever genre of music she wants. That takes talent. (Monday 29 December 2014; 5:22)

Re: Big Boy / Nick (48,814) by jaker20 from US I've said it when they got married, I said it when MC had a baby, and I'll say it again now. Nick Cannon is a user and took advantage of Mariah from the start. The Big Boy interview simply exposed what he really is about. Why put blame on interviewers like Big Boy or Howard Stern? Trash is their job and they know trash when they see one. That's like going to a strip club and blaming the stripper for the guy who slipped money on her panty. Even though I think they were already about separated during that time, I think this is what Nick really is. I can never in my life imagine any of my relatives talking like that to their wives. Ever. It was like Nick's public humiliation of MC. It was repulsive and disgusting anyway you cut it and I don't think MC and Nick should reconcile for that reason alone. Sure, I can't judge them, but if MC can stand such repugnant person then I guess she is worse. But I don't see them getting together again and rightfully so. I always thought MC is a class act and don't deserve to be with such who is both a user and a loser. Oh, also MC has always told Nick to watch his mouth when he's on interviews. Which means he really is like that in real life. That is MC practically saying "you can humiliate me, but not in public". Can you imagine being married to an immature loser like that? She's endured enough, time to move on. (Monday 29 December 2014; 2:54)

Nick (48,813) by B from USA I think Nick was in love with Mariah Carey not Mariah. He was in love with the image not the woman and that's sad. (Sunday 28 December 2014; 23:52)

The jazz album (48,812) by Ken from USA I always thought there is simply no way that MC would never record a jazz album. I just know she will, without a doubt. A jazz album is just inevitable in my mind. (Sunday 28 December 2014; 23:16)

Still on it (48,811) by enwar00 from usa Let me try that again lol. (Sunday 28 December 2014; 16:13)

Mandy / Big Boy / Nick (48,810) by Lynn from USA Mandy, I have always liked Nick and his honesty. I have followed his career since he was on "All That". I, however, can't blame Big Boy for partially being a reason for Nick and Mariah's separation because Nick didn't have to answer the question although people who followed him knew of his past relationships with the women he listed. I will agree that the questions that Big Boy and people like Howard Stern ask are a bit distasteful; however, you can choose not to answer them. I truly believe Nick didn't mean any harm, but I immediately cringed when he responded. I knew the press would go wild with his honest response which couldn't have pleased Mariah even though she probably knew who he dated in the past. I also believe there is more to their separation, perhaps lack of time together, Mariah's distrust of men, constant travelling, etc. Who really knows but them? I would love to see them reconcile and work out their problems. I really miss seeing them together and I miss seeing the family's adventurous Christmas photos they take each year. I'm hoping that everyone on this message board and the Cannons will be happy and healthy for 2015. (Sunday 28 December 2014; 15:52)

Agreed (48,809) by B from USA I hope Mariah makes a Jazz album one day. (Sunday 28 December 2014; 13:41)

Still on it (48,808) by enwar00 from usa This performance is effortlessly phenomenal to me. (Sunday 28 December 2014; 12:05)

Mimi sings the blues: Cgee54 (48,807) by Mirage_Nunez from America I love that idea. I would love for her to do a straight up, classic blues, soul, jazz album. I'm at the point where I don't think Mariah should even try to complete with current artist or fit into the current music climate anymore. I just want her to make the best and realest music possible and ofcourse be in best voice. (Sunday 28 December 2014; 11:37)

The London Sessions (48,805) by Dennis from Miami, FL I thing it's a very good album and I got it. But to me it sounds like a typical European album from the 90s. Mariah would not fit into this genre. What she needs is some more time to reflect on what's important. And I think she has a plan for 25th year anniversary (like an album or something). There were talks about George Michael duet in spring. Her dream collabo with Stevie Wonder must have been recorded during The Art Of Letting Go recording sessions. What do you thing about the chance of release of a duet album? (Sunday 28 December 2014; 10:50)

Next album (48,804) by Jake from New Zealand I agree with Marissa, if like to have one last big, mainstream album to slay everybody. In order to do that she needs good PR and to act more humble, like back in TEOM days. After that I wouldn't really care what does. I wouldn't personally like a jazz album, but a more neo-soul one like Emotions. (Sunday 28 December 2014; 8:30)

Big Boy (48,803) by JAXGH from United States Sad to say but Big Boy is literally the reason why Mariah and Nick split. It even came from Nick's mouth. "If our marriage don't work out, it is solely your fault," which is what exactly happened. He somehow got Nick to answer an extremely private question. "Name 5 that will watch this and say oh he's not lying." And being the open person he is, he answered. And he definitely wasn't thinking straight. His background thoughts were "name 5 women everyone knows you dated" thus why he said "Hmmm what's another one that's just easy and people already know" and disregarded that he had smashed these women, unknowingly putting his wife and kids to shame. This is the reason I hate Big Boy and his interviews. He's disgusting, full of trickery and literally give 0 damn about the family of the person he's interviewing. As for Nick, everyone makes mistakes. Technically he did just name women he dated but he forgot for a moment that the "smashing" part comes with it and how much it will damage Mariah. Honestly turned out to be the worst mistake of his life. (Sunday 28 December 2014; 5:45)

Next album (48,802) by Abraham from USA I agree with Marissa. I'd been wanting Mariah to do some jazz for awhile now. But I'd like her to release another mainstream album. Another "TEOM". I'd like another singing from the soul song like "Mine again". I'm sure whatever she releases will be good. She knows she needs to really bring it. And when she does, she's going to slay. And I can't wait. I'd say it's time for a good, successful era. (Sunday 28 December 2014; 3:57)

Album anticipations / dream collabo (48,801) by Marissa from USA I agree Cgee54, I'm ready for Mariah to explore more niche genres as well. Ideally, I would like Mariah to make one more mainstream album for the 25th anniversary to remind the world why she's the songbird supreme and snatch the wigs of those who talked about her like a dog, like Wendy Williams. (I know I'm being unrealistic here because MC's probably too exhausted from marital issues, international touring and the Christmas shows to even want to get in the studio any time soon, but a girl can dream.) Mariah always sounds wonderful when she sings jazz and it seems to be easier for her to sing than a lot of her mainstream hits, so that would be a great choice. I would love to hear gospel and neo-soul from her as well. Whatever genre she sings next, I hope I hear a lot of her lower register a la Melt Away. I've always thought her lower register was just as beautiful as her upper. Also, I must (caps) hear a soulful/jazzy collaboration with MC and D'Angelo in my lifetime. (Sunday 28 December 2014; 0:37)

Nick (48,800) by B from USA I can't, lol. He ain't a rapper, so he needs to stop spitting it. (Saturday 27 December 2014; 22:50)

Is it time for Mariah to sing "the blues"? (48,799) by Cgee54 from Usa I think now is the time for Mariah to record and release a blue/jazz album full of standards and perhaps a song or two that she could write for the album. I think she's going through a lot and I think a jazz album could be a nice way to cope with the hurt and heal. She could channel Billie Holiday with a mix of Sarah Vaughan, it would her version of "Lady sings the blues", all the songs will depict a story like her latest album. She can relieve the classical era of jazz with some nice outfits that mimics the era fashion. There's so much potential for this concept if she just forget about mainstream music. Any thought? (Saturday 27 December 2014; 22:21)

Reflecting on 2014 (48,798) by Jon from Netherlands Highlights: The concerts. There were a lot of good performances and MC really showed love for the fans in some of them. She also spread a lot of joy in her Christmas concerts. Her ability to weather the storm was also admirable and a reason to be proud of her and to see how different she is from others that are/were on the spotlight. Album reviews. Not one of my favourite albums but it does have a few amazing songs and is nice to see the critics on Mariah's side. Dissapointing: Choosing Eternal as the first single. Most of us feel like it is one of the worst songs on the album and totally not radio friendly. The rest of the promotion of the album doesnt bother me as I understand she had other things in mind. Album title? Management. Choosing a close friend and collaborator as manager was a bad idea. Either go alone or go with a pro. Starting the tour so emotional. It's understandable and we are all human but the next stop in Tokyo might not be so crowded. Musical moments: The now discovered uncut version of AIWFCIY is amazing as is the rendition of Lullaby Of Birdland. Annoying: Nick. He went from cute goofy guy to annoying brat. Not saying Mariah is perfect but she was there when he was sick, even wrote a song for him but this dude seems to only care about his career. I don't know him personally of course but he's certainly not as classy as he wants people to believe. (Saturday 27 December 2014; 15:25)

Angel Adrian / the collection (48,797) by Marcus from Brazil Angel Adrian, Eric stopped updating the discography ever since singles went all digital. It was fun having different versions from different countries and stuff like that, but now it is not that fun anymore. Anybody can get anything digitally nowadays. Buying albums is not necessarily consider collecting. (Saturday 27 December 2014; 13:08)

Collection (48,796) by Angel Adrian from Ecuador Does Eric de Ridder not collect Mariah's items anymore? This web was my reference and I don't see nothing about her last album. (Saturday 27 December 2014; 4:22)

Reflecting on 2014 (48,795) by Marissa from USA As a lamb, 2014 (the earlier half in particular) with the album pushbacks, Jermaine Dupri sagas, unflattering vocals and photos being leaked and media slayings of MC was extremely rough. I hope I never (caps) see a year like 2014 again in MC history. I can't sugarcoat it. I'm not even talking about numbers. Yes she sold out shows, got her Christmas spectacular, AIWFCIY got Vevo certified, etc. but sometimes even when the results turn out okay you still wouldn't want to go through the process again and that's how I feel about 2014. Besides the album, this is a year that I wouldn't mind forgetting, but I'm trying to stay hopeful for 2015 aka the 25th anniversary. I hope something festive and unforgettable is in the works.
