Posts voting (41,796) by Ms. Giselle from USA
To the webmaster, could we do without the "voting" here. This to me is nothing but a popularity contest by having them. The same people who have come here for years get more up votes. While the newbies who just started to post get a lot of down votes even when a lot are praising Mariah in that post.

David / Billy (41,795) by Isaac Ortiz from USA
I agree with David and Billy. I also worry sometimes at Mariah's consant champagne intake. She drinks it way too much. And I think that that's one of the problems that interferes with her voice. She needs to stop and get it together. Her voice is her gift and instrument. No more drinking and a lot of rest. And vocal exercises would help too. I don't want Mariah lose her voice the way Whitney did.

This is slow start and clearly not enough to generate sales on iTunes but it's a start. Are you requesting lambs? I am hoping the single doesn't fall off the Hot 100 chart this week.

Lamb_O_Chop / Mimi L. (41,793) by Isaac Ortiz from USA
Thanks sweetie for seeing and understanding my point of view. *hugs* And to you too Mimi. I agree 100% about the song "It's that like". I love it as well and actually play it from time to time. Her voice on that track is beautiful. (But then again, her voice is in just about every song.) I know so many people who want her to do another fun song like that one. The video to the song is my favorite. The gowns and beautiful long hair and that black two piece she wore at the end was stunning. But man do I wish that Mariah would have turned and released "Time of your life" as a single. It has the same feel and sound to "It's like that". I know it could have been a chart topper. I played it to my mom and she liked it a lot. I think Mariah wasted and missed an opportunity with that awesome song. But I don't dwell on the negatives. I'm just glad and grateful that she is still making music. I personally think that she has the talent and potential to accomplish so much more.

Billy (41,792) by Jeremey Carey from United States
Honestly, as much as I hate to admit it, um Mariah needs to get handled one more time. (Like she was with Tommy.) She needs to have her songs written for her, and she change like one or two words and call it a collab. Then she really needs to be on vocal rest literally everyday if necessary. No drinking. She needs to sing live at every performance. And if she lips the climax it needs to be a different prerecorded track for every performance. She needs a new stylist. And work with producers who know good current music. And that's what I think should be done on her next album's lead single and two follow ups. And two at the least will reach #1. I think she sounded really amazing in Australia and GMA last year. So I know she's still got it. And honestly I would want her to release one last album dedicated to the fans as a goodbye album. So she leaves on a high note. Of course she should still sing for Christmas shows and hopefully feature on other artists tracks.

You are both way too kind, how very thoughtful of you both to say. All I can say is that I just do me, which isn't always positive lol, just balanced. Have a great day.

IDJ / cheap videos (41,789) by Edward from USA
Mariah has been putting some low budget videos lately, but we have to understand that she's working with whatever money her record label has assigned to her for these projects. Hearbreaker was $2.5 million to make, but Mariah was still hot back then, and her albums were selling left and right. Rainbow was certified 3x platinum by the RIAA. After TEOM, she had a good budget for "Touch My Body", but once things started falling apart, subsequent videos were as cheap as the ones she's putting out today. The money spent on videos, promotions, and recording needs to be recouped from album and single sales. Sadly, spending lots of money on Mariah, from a business standpoint, is not a good idea right this minute when she needs it more. I have seen some very impressive low budget videos though. I think she needs to come with a video a la Through The Rain or Butterfly, because these "look-at-me" videos are not working for her.

What does she has to do? (41,788) by Chicago Lamb from USA
She has to give up a bit of control, hire Medina again, switch to a label that'll support more ala L.A. Reid.

Lambs, what do you think Mariah has to do to be number one again?

Lamb_O_Chop (41,786) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
I happen to agree with everything in your last post. There were several parts of the song which were different from the studio version so I really don't get how anyone can think it's the same. If some hears the song at least twice, they'll know it's different. Now whether the song was pre-recorded, half/full lipped or dubbed is anybody's guess. I think she did atleast sing parts of it live because she kept adjusting her ear piece and people who are saying that she didn't do her "hand movements" which is like uber proof that she wasn't singing live, I'd like to say, when you are sitting on a piano with a dress so tight and risky, I think you'd be pretty nervous enough to forget a lot of things, even if it's a habit. MC usually does that when she's standing on a flat ground. It's fine to hate a song, don't go around bashing it. I'd also back up the Isaac part, he was one of the first to say he didn't like the song much, but that's it, no negativity was spread. Also, someone wrote about having their boobs out and cougar hair on trying to attract boys when they are 44 like M. Are you suggesting that's what M does? Please don't turn a classy performance into a cheap show.

Mariah's life (41,785) by David from Spain
To be lying while drinking champagne or wine, lip syncing, "beautiful school". Mariah is lost. I worry about her career, I'm tired of Mariah's actitude. The people need and want a mature singer because maybe she's the one big big singer. Turn up.

Lamb-o-chop (41,784) by Paul from Usa
What else am I supposed to talk about? She's heavily primitive on this song. As of lately every time we hear about her it's based around YME. Am I supposed to come up with fake album and song titles? The first song released from an album is supposed to be the very best to appeal to a broader audience. I'm just concerned. Is this the best she had for us from an album she's worked on for 3+ years, and has pushed back the release time and time again? Of all the songs released thus far, Almost Home I think is the best. I think the video is tastefully done, wish if got more recognition. I'm still baffled as to why it was ever associated with OZ but it wasn't used in the movie, think that could've helped. In my mind I'm wondering what is going on with her career, who's calling these shots etc.

Lol (41,782) by Bill from the UK
Every time I come on here now, we seem to be talking more about Issac than Mariah lol. I read the article about YME tanking and, personally, I get it. To me it sounded like a slowed down Your Girl to the We Belong Together beat. Just didn't click for me. That said, I loved Beautiful and TAOLG. I still play Beautiful a lot because I love the guitar and the driving drum loop, it sounds fresh and current. YME sounded like another WBT rehash. We've had WBT, Don't Forget About Us, I Stay In Love, Angels Cry. How many more before she gives up on trying to recreate a ten year old hit?

Diane Martel (41,781) by Me. I am Carly from USA
I would love to see Mariah's next video directed by Diane Martel. She worked on The Roof and many other great Mariah videos. She also just did the Miley Cyrus video "We can't stop" so she is still quite relevant.

What is going on at Island Def Jam Records and radio? (41,780) by Robert-Anthony from United States
When LA Reid left Def Jam Records, Mariah's support from the label is not what is used to be. I am really concerned that she can't get enough airplay for YME. She has never had this much trouble having a hit song to put out her album. She needs to call Elijah Blake/Sevyn Streeter/Diplo really soon to help her come up with a radio hit because YME is not it. Radio is not playing the song because is not a top 10 produced song. I would like for her to work with Ryan Tedder to come up with a pop hit that would make Top 40 radio want to play her music. I believe the two of them could up with an awesome song. I believe Mariah really needs to let five to six songwriters write with her in the next month to create that next hit. At this point, she can't do it with her and a producer alone. Pop and Oak songwriting and production duo is really hot right now as well as DJ Mustard, The Rascals (Ariana Grande), Rock City, Pharrell, and Timbaland, Salaam Remi, Harmony Samuels, Al Sherrod (Ariana Grande) and The Underdogs. Only time will tell if we see an album on May 6th. Because right now our girl Mariah is not being supported by radio. She needs a first single with a revolutionary futuristic sound in the next month. I hope someone helps her to see that. Ryan Tedder please call Mariah.

With fans like us (41,779) by Geronimo from USA
Is there another type of board on the internet where Mariah Carey fans can freely indulge in posting negative speculations, uninformed judgements, unsolicited career advice, chart-position anxiety, and accusations of a declining work ethic about Mariah on a daily basis without feeling victimized by fans who say they don't come to a "fan" site for that kind of vibe? I get the feeling that there are some folks posting on this site who want to gripe about their disappointments and expectations just as much others want to come here and express their love, dedication and admiration for Mariah. I'm sure Mariah does enough of her own self-critique and I'm sure that her label and others give her plenty of career advice and critique. A fan site, as far as I understand the genre, has a unique task and opportunity to encourage, uplift and promote an artist in a way that is different that others spaces where Mariah might be equally slammed or praised, accused or vindicated. Free speech activists have the entire world wide web to "state their opinions". Why be consistently negative on this kind of site?

Mariah's full spectrum. (41,778) by Me. I am Carly from USA
I love Long Island accent Mariah, I love Wise Girls Mariah. I don't enjoy sugar soaked Mariah and I really find the diva thing so played out and artificial. My fav moments are The Roof, Wise Girls, The Emancipation Of Mimi concerts. I like sweet Mariah as long as the edge is there.

You're Mine (Eternal) (41,777) by Ken from USA
Did we all forget that it took We Belong Together 2 months to reach number one? You're Mine hasn't even been out for a month and some are saying its a flop. A bit unfair don't you think?

Paul, I agree (41,775) by Me. I am Carly from USA
I love how she looks when she really sings haha. I totally agree with you. I wish she knew how emotive and wonderful it is for the fans. I don't think Mariah should be anywhere near the editing area or watch her videos, she needs to let some outsiders have some control again.

BET Honors (41,774) by Lamb_O_Chop from Australia
The queen looked hot and sultry, she actually did make the not so cute faces which is why I think she was actually singing. The aftermath of that is what can be questionable, but regardless of the chart positions, the hair, breasts, assembles, splashes, shade, that voice is still gorgeous and one of a kind. A salute to queen Mimi baby.

Paul, Isaac O and Joyce (41,773) by Lamb_O_Chop from Australia
Paul: I don't know what BET performance you were watching sweetie, but the vocals were clearly different from the radio single version. I guess you hate the song so much that you just haven't listened enough to notice. Now whether it was live, dubbed, or pre recorded is whats debatable. Isaac actually made a valid point, he also expressed that he didn't like the song, but didn't overtly bash it and displayed a pessimistic attitude towards people who actually do appreciate the song. It's fine to not care for it and express that, but Golly G Willikers do you have to remind us every post? No shade. Joyce I hope my posted didn't offend you, no shade was intended if it did. I am curious though, do you still have the same hairstyle in your avatar? Just asking.

The lip syncing (41,772) by J from USA
Honestly I am over the excuses certain lambs make for Mariah. I fell in love with MC because of her voice. I wanna see Mariah sing a song fully live, no playback, no dubbing, no editing. I sometimes wonder if Mariah feels pressure to be perfect? I know everyone lip syncs but when it comes to the point where every time you perform people have to question wether is live or not, then there is a problem. People love to throw Celine in the equation but when is time for Celine to sing live, she delivers. Thumb me down all you want but honestly the excuses have to stop. "Oh, she's saving her voice to tour", "she's tired", etc. Stop it. Idc that Mariah lips here and there but dang girl, it's been really hurting your reputation and people aren't turning a blind eye to it anymore.

Mariah Carey promotions etc (41,771) by DivergentIntel from United States
I also think she should do American Idol or X Factor but with the right panel team. X Factor USA got cancelled but I think they should do one more season as a farewell and they could have Mariah Carey as a judge and mentor and on the panel lol. Anyway, I think fans need to do our part and promote her to the top of charts to her rightful royalty and crown. Look at Beyonce. Even when Beyonce releases mediocre work, her fans promote her shit for her like crazy. Beyonce does not have to do any work because her fans are like a unified body that makes sure to keep her on top. Beyonce can just shake her a$$ and twirl her weave and that's all it takes lol and smh. Mariah needs us to keep her on top. If Mariah's music is good then she will chart well. But we have to support her by streaming and requesting airplay. Mariah Carey didn't have to promote anything from January 1990 to September 1997. That was her grace period before the tide started working and turning against her and Tommy Mottola and his minions were sabatoging poor Mimi. As for Glitter, I think Mariah should release a Glitter 2 movie and a Glitter 2 soundtrack. Mariah could win every award including Oscar for best motion picture song and film. Mariah should get a Tony award for success in stage plays in Broadway lol. I really think Mariah should put Glitter on Broadway. The music and theatrics of it are like a blockbuster mine and gem for stage plays and drama and Broadway.

Mariah Carey singles update (41,770) by DivergentIntel from United States
I really liked the "Bring It On Home" and "Almost Home" singles/songs. Why didn't she heavily promote those songs and perform them?
