Damn (41,769) by DivergentIntel from United States
I'm looking at some of the comments and some of you all be hating lol. We need to be united and express opinions without being disrespectful. People can agree to disagree. Mariah doesn't want to see the lambily fighting. Come on now, you all should know better. And as I like to say, any negativity sent my way will in fact get returned right back to it's original sender.

Darryl / singles (41,768) by Eternal from Italy
Darryl, I think you're right regarding the so-called singles that Mariah has released up till now. The problem is she seems to be releasing just any random song that takes her fancy at the moment, without officially declaring it a single or not. TAOLG was called a single, and there was so much hype leading up to its release on 11 November (remember the interviews, all the Facebook announcements etc?), but then it didn't get a video nor any kind of promotion. Triumphant was also called a single, it got the full video and remixes treatment (Vintage Throwback, Pulse, etc) but she only performed the song once and it was released way before any news of the album was announced. #Beautiful actually did pretty well and would have been a decent lead single, but the album wasn't even close to being ready and then she broke her arm, which obviously isn't her fault. That's pure unluckiness. My point is, her timing in releasing these so-called singles is really off. Everything's too hastily done. Get the album ready, be completely satisfied with the songs you have, and then release the lead single. Don't try out just any half-baked songs recorded and release them without even having finished recording the album. She used to be so much more organized in these things. Her lead single was always a midtempo or uptempo (Honey, Fantasy, ILT, TMB) followed quickly by a ballad (WBT, My All) and it's a formula that worked for her. I wonder if it might be a management issue.

Open letter to Mariah (41,767) by Orkun from The Netherlands
Mariah, I have a feeling you will read this. I'm actually sure because it comes from within. I hope you realize how much we love you. And we get you. Please, don't give up. We all know you have it in you. Let the fire burn again. Let the light once again shine through. Realize that you are us and we are you. Remember your essence and your beauty within. You haven't lost it. You just forgot. Believe in the songs once again you write. Music won't let you go unless you let go of music. You are our angel. Please find your balance once again. You saved many of our lives. Now allow us to save you.

Frustrated (41,766) by Darryle from USA
I'm frustrated that people keep saying Mariah has had 5 failing singles. 1. Triumphant was intended to be a single but wasn't because the album need more work so it was like a preview. 2. Almost Home isn't even going to be on the album most likely because it was made for the "O the great and powerful" soundtrack. 3. TAOLG was something to hold the fans over since Mariah hadn't released in a long time. It wasn't an actual single since it didn't hit radio. 4. #Beautiful wasn't a fail, it was a moderate hit and would have been bigger but had negative press surrounding the lip synching Mariah did while performing it. 5. YME hasn't been out long enough to be called a flop so...

BET Honors (41,765) by Paul from Usa
I just watched the performance. It was lip synced. It's exactly the radio version. Mariah doesn't look pretty when she actually sings live. She makes weird faces, she does the crazy hand moments, all that stuff is involuntarily. She does that stuff because she has to make it sound good, probably a lot like the way Celine Dion beats on her chest. So let's all stop denying that it wasn't lip synced. Again, I'm terribly disappointed with this song, I'm sure everyone knows that by now, the performance was just as boring. Mariah in the background was overkill. I know a lot of singers lip sync live performances if the choreography is intense, or they're sick etc. Why did Mariah? Fans and non-fans have taken to twitter about this, even the media in a bad way. Our girl is in trouble.

The album (41,764) by Darryle from USA
On Mariah's Wiki page it said she was working with people like Da Brat, DJ Clue, Walter Afanasieff, Jermaine Dupri, Bryan-Michael Cox, James "Big Jim" Wright, Hit-Boy, and The-Dream. When I read this I get really excited. Now my expectations for the album are so much higher because she's working people who have produced or co wrote some of her biggest hits. I'm sure in the process of working one of these people made a #1 hit. All Mariah has to do is use it for her next single.

BET Honors background video (41,763) by Licia from USA
I agree that the little video they had playing in the background was nice. It would be cool to see a full video with that concept. It seems like this was something quick that they threw together, but it kind of kills the original video.
(Wednesday 26 February 2014; 10:33)
Charts (41,762) by Darryle from USA
YME is not doing well on the charts at all. I think the problem is promo. Yeah Mariah did a lot of promo for this single but it wasn't the right format. It was lots of radio interviews. That's not what gets a song popular, you need live performances and radio. She cancelled The View performance and the BET Honors isn't a big enough format. She needs Oscars or Grammys or even Good Morning America. Plenty of people debut songs up there. I think Mariah's not doing live performances because this wasn't intended to be the hit from the album. I think Mariah just wanted to release something for Valentine's Day and this was perfect. I also think it was for buzz people are talking now. About the album, single, and video. I think the real hit single will be after this and I have hope it's something produced by Hit Boy or Mike Will Made It. Those are people that are big among the general population in music right now.

Celine duet (41,761) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
No, no and no. What good will it do? At least definitely not as a single. Album cut is tolerable but still I don't really care for Celine. If Mariah does perform with another female it should be current. And I see no reason for Celina and Mariah pulling another MC Whitney moment. That concept is done and over. A new female duet has to be fresh.

It's Like That (41,760) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
I always loved this song but I haven't heard it in a while and I was playing it today and I went woah. It's such a great song, it just makes you wanna get up and dance, especially at the "let's go now here we go now" part, but even the rest of the song kinda makes you get on the floor with your gals. I am not even talking about the club mixes, I am referring to te original version. Please MC give me a song like that again. It's fun, flirty, sexy and classy while throwing shades at them chicken's ashy skin all at once lol. You can come up with a bigger club hit than all the Gagas and Perrys and Beyonces.

Mariah (41,759) by David from Spain
The people wants that Mariah come back to sing Pop. They are tired of listening to sweet R&B. Mariah is more diva than singer.

Bad press (41,758) by RJJ12 from USA
So the bad press is starting again regarding her lipping her BET performance. Ugh. Now I've given up on wanting her to sing live, but singing is supposed to be what she is known for. The casual or even non-fans are starting to get hip to what the lambs have known for years. I really liked the performance and I have no clue as to why she would fly all the way to PR when the video playing in the background of the performance was light years better. She needs to do videos where she is acting something out or using some props but never where she is just staring into the camera as she always looks like she is trying too hard. She needs to get to performing this song like, yesterday, and make sure the performances are good. I hope the learned from the messy Beautiful performances. I like the You're Mine and want it to do well.

Isaac is a Regina George (41,757) by Paul from Usa
Remember the movie "Mean Girls"? Now raise your hand if you have ever been personally victimized by Isaac Ortiz. Webmaster and other MCA members, is it me or is Isaac trolling the message board? We all have a right to express our own views and opinions here. If you don't agree fine, hit the thumbs down and explain, but it's not your job to tell people that our views are wrong, and we're mean, and we need to stop being so hard on Mariah etc. If you click on Isaac's profile it's message after message of him correcting people's opinions. It's really annoying and not because he responded to me personally, but the way he attacks everyone who doesn't drop on their knees and praise every thing Mariah does. My 2 cents. Thanks for listening.

Issac (41,756) by Paul from Usa
You should probably go back and re read what I wrote in my post. I praised Mariah alot. You are delusional if you think today's Mariah is up to par with older Mariah, even after 1997. Mariah doesn't have the same work ethics, and enthusiasm as she one did. The last few singles haven't stuck with an audience outside of her "lambs", and the charts prove that. You extreme lambs kept saying, "Wait until the song reaches the radio, it will go number one, it will climb the charts." The song tanked. Isaac you've convinced me that Mariah could belch every song on an entire album, and you'd rush out and buy it. I love Mariah, but I'm not going to buy a single or an album that I do not enjoy. If you received crumby service from a waitress would you tip her, I wouldn't. But maybe you would, because it's only $10, it won't set you back. right? This isn't about setting me back $10 or $5,000. I'm not satisfied as a fan, as a "lamb", as a customer, because that's what we are, customers. She makes music, and she sells her music to us. Hey, you like the song, and the other ones, good for you. But I'm entitled to my opinions just like you are. FYI, it's the webmaster's job to post and enforce the rules of this message board. Not yours.

Chart performance (41,754) by HerLoverboy from New Zealand
I really hope Mariah has something phenomenal up her sleeve because You're Mine (Eternal) just isn't gonna cut it. She has everything going against her including her age and her genre. Unfortunately that's the reality of it so she's gonna have to pull off something mammoth. And knowing Mariah she can and she will.

YME (41,753) by Bump from Greece
While I like YME, I believe it would have been a great album track. An uptempo banger about love, with her singing like a beast would have been amazing and who knows maybe the next single could be along those lines. But I do hope YME has a chance. Such a shame to see her music struggle like this.

Stephen (41,752) by Alex from England
I just wanted to say that I like everything tou say in your posts. You seem like a grounded person with common sense, at least that's what I get from your comments. It is nice to have someone on here who says what he thinks in a polite ad constructive manner. Keep it up.
(Wednesday 26 February 2014; 3:07)
Izaak (41,751) by BakedBoodie from USA
Well I tried to push them buttons, trying to activate some sense in you but you got them old outdated Mariah colored glasses on where even her poop appears "magical" through each lens - obscuring reality - and you bash everyone who don't see what you do. That button down and lit up yet?
(Wednesday 26 February 2014; 2:01)
BakedBoodie / Danny (41,750) by Isaac Ortiz from USA
No you didn't push any buttons. At least not mine, although your comment made no sense. Are you sure you're not Joyce with another account? Also, the only thing that's hilarious is your avatar pic, lol. So funny. Danny, dude give it a rest. It seems in all your posts you've always stated something negative about Mariah. You sure you're a fan? Mariah has tons of money. She can buy and sell your life.

I'm a fan of Sanaa Hamri's work. I think Mariah should do more with her.

Direction (41,746) by Danny Braden from Uk
At this point it's hard to see the direction this era is going in, I actually think Triumphant started it off fairly good, despite being featured on her own song, it at least stayed true to her. I think AI did no favours for her public image, neither have recent public appearances. I have been a fan for a long time and I say this as a concern that I think Mariah has lost her way. Sorry but to say the last year or so has been positive for her image is a joke. We love her she knows that she just needs to convince everyone else she's ready to come back. I mean The Art Of Letting Go? I still don't know what she's letting go of? Fame? Money? Because she can't be making any.

Bet Honors performance (41,745) by Ms. Giselle from USA
I really liked it a lot. I believe it was live/lipped in certain parts. I agree, she should throw in a lll ad libs (live parts) just to shut people up. Honestly though we fans are use to this, even going back to 2005/2006 she was singing/lipping in her performances too especailly the last note in WBT. With the invention of social media being so huge right now, it's allowed people to be so vocal in public then before. If this was 2005-06 we fans would be discussing this but non fans wouldn't. She looked amazing, Mariah should embrace her age. She looks darn good for being almost 44. I hope and pray I look that good at 44 lol. Because I will have my "cougar hair" lol and my breast out trying to bring the young boys to the yard.

BET Honors (41,744) by Stephen from London, United Kingdom
I enjoyed the performance, but then again, my expectations in terms of Mariah's live showings have been seriously lowered in the past 18 months. Mariah looked stunning. The stage setting was fantastic. It had a classic, golden Hollywood feel. I think Mariah does that look with ease. I enjoyed that element of it. Mariah looked like she sang the song live, but dubbed over the vocals. From the fan recordings I heard, if the original vocals were live, then Mariah should have let it be, because she sounded great.

Comments are hilarious (41,743) by BakedBoodie from USA
Lol, some of [...] comments from specific ones, is just hilarious. Mariah could accidently drop the microphone and they’d say “I love the way she was so emotionally connected in the song, she was overwhelmed and released the microphone, saturated in emotion. Wow, just amazing. I have goose bumps." Meanwhile, a later interview reveals she just simply dropped the microphone by accident. Oops, did I push a few more buttons?

"Hey Joyce" (41,742) by BakedBoodie from USA
Dont listen to them. They don't want nothing fixed as if it aint broke, but the fact is, somthing aint right and needs finxing. Her singles and albums have not exactly been a success. Some, a total flop for real. Any talk about changing it up, trying [...] new, doing something different is just common sense. And don't assume everyone has it. Why would you want to keep mistepping and flopping, over and over again? Why not try something new with the hair, why not try a new look? If [...] was in charge of her look we'd get the same old Barbie gowned and hair Mariah forever, even though it's been played out since 2007. Start the hatingg because the truth does hurt.
