Stacey (47,059) by Dove from USA Thanks. I found a copy. (Friday 3 October 2014; 0:24)

Broadway (47,058) by S from I agree, it would be great if Mariah did Broadway. I'm definitely excited to see where they're going with the musical she's planning based on her Christmas album. Hopefully there will be news about at least next year. In recent interviews Mariah has hinted that there would soon be some interesting projects coming up, so let's keep our fingers crossed.

Shelly / Shezz (47,057) by Stacey from USA Shelly, I have the "Out in Japan" concert. During my collecting days, I had two CDs, one produced in Japan and one from Australia. Both contain HQ recordings of all the songs. Shezz, I couldn't agree more. I've been saying "there's got to be a way" for fans to talk all things MC without all the drama. At 24 when I first started posting online, I got into it all the time with other fans. I took every disagreement so personally. I got so caught up in anger over fans who dared to talk about other artists on an MC fansite. Now at 37, I laugh at how silly and immature I acted. I could care less if folks want to posts lists of their favs or talk about Ariana Grande. It doesn't matter what people discuss. I learned that from simply growing up. I guess some fans still have some growing up to do. Who knows, lol. In the end, faceless words here are so trivial to the more important things I see everyday (i.e. my family and friends). It's why I always say "it ain't that deep" because it's not. (Thursday 2 October 2014; 23:23)

Elusive chanteuse show (47,056) by Will from England Do you think that if Mariah lives up to her promise of new songs during the shows, she'll release them as she goes along? (Thursday 2 October 2014; 22:47)

Live album (47,055) by Dove from USA I would like to have a good quality CD/DVD of the 1996 Tokyo concert. I had the bootleg but it was so grainy and low quality. It looked like someone recorded it with a VHS player off their t.v. when it aired over there. (Disclosure: I didn't know it was a bootleg when I ordered it.) I would still want a new concert DVD if the vocals are good because it's fun to look back. And I love the idea of an Unplugged ll. (Thursday 2 October 2014; 21:48)

Loverboy video (47,054) by Dove from USA I remember when I first saw the Loverboy video, I was like this. But I just watched it again as a woman in my 30's and it's actually not even that bad. It's a cute video and she looks carefree and pretty. I like revisiting her different eras. (Thursday 2 October 2014; 21:38)

Wow (47,053) by Shezz from Pk No wonder lambs are diminishing. Half of them are caught up in a civil war. There's got to be a way. (Thursday 2 October 2014; 21:09)

Live album (47,052) by Angelo from Italy I don't know, c'mon lambs, I think Mimi could release a real live album just for Music Box and Daydream tours, the others were so plenty of lypsinc, dubbed, and other stuff that it could be impossible. I really hope that this one it could be different, I like TEOM tour, but c'mon, Fantasy is always on playback and Always Be My Baby finale too. Let's hope, if this new tour could reach Music Box and Daydream tours (were so perfect) I'll ask a live album too, if it will not, well, I just hope a new unplugged concert, brief as the first one but totally, I say totally live (Vanishing/Emotions/After Tonight/Looking In/Cry). (Thursday 2 October 2014; 20:46)

Norman (47,051) by Bill from the UK Great post and welcome to the board. Unplugged is my favourite album of Mariah's, because I just love her live voice so, so much. I think your idea of a live album to promote the tour and support it is brilliant, I'd love for that to happen. (Thursday 2 October 2014; 20:18)

Abraham / Travon (47,050) by Stacey from USA Abraham my friend, you know my last post to Travon? Well, it's about time we have that same conversation with you. You are welcome here. The drama is not. As MC would put it, "be nice or leave". My post referencing the "15 seconds of fame" was not rude. It was a fun/light-hearted reference to Meteorite. Lighten up. How long any of us have been fans apparently still does matter because some fans continue to think it's their place to question others loyalty to MC. When MC fans can discuss disagreements and not care who is the bigger fan, leaving their ego at the door, the need to defend one's support for MC will disappear. I am fully justified telling others to "back it up a bit" because I do my best to respect others. Over the years, my posts have always been free of personal insults/character attacks. Many people here know I conduct myself appropriately. So just chill and enjoy the discussion of all things Mariah. It ain't that deep, lol. Peace. Travon, my apologies for spelling your name wrong. (Thursday 2 October 2014; 19:26)

Mariah on Broadway (47,049) by Marissa from USA I would absolutely love if Mariah did Broadway. It would give her a fresh start and let people see her in a different and exciting light. (Thursday 2 October 2014; 18:17)

Soundtrack of my life (47,047) by Dove from USA MC's music has been the soundtrack to my life for as far back as I can remember. From trying to hit the super high notes in "Someday" in elementary school, watching the "Hero" music video I recorded on a VHS tape over and over while mimicking her hand movements, wearing a black tank top and hoodie with jean shorts while rollerblading in Jr. High (I even tried to do my hair like in the Fantasy video), listening to the Butterfly album on repeat on road trips with my aunt and wearing gold eye shadow like in the "Breakdown" video, dancing to Heartbreaker at the teen dances in high school while wearing a pink halter top and jeans with the waistband cut off, the first and only time I ever stole was the Glitter poster from the theater. I remember being shocked by the sexually explicit Loverboy lyrics and the sexy video. When I listen to Charmbracelet I think about when my son was a toddler and we were living in our first apartment; it's one of the few CDs I had and I would listen to it every day. Emancipation was when my husband and I were separated for a year; I used to play those tracks so loud. E=MC2 reminds me of when my son started school and I would play it on my walk home after dropping him off. Memoirs reminds me of when I was addicted to Mafia Wars on MySpace. I play the Christmas albums whenever the mood hits year round. Me. I Am Mariah is appropriate right now because it's a break up album and 2014 was the year of my divorce. I can't wait to see what her next album will be about and I hope she'll continue to release good music to commemorate the milestones in my life. (Thursday 2 October 2014; 18:15)

Silver at 2015 (47,046) by juan from Dubai I wish Mariah would have a grand tribute all about her musical career. Real singers remaking her songs like (like MTV Icon era and Divas Live). Then Mariah sings finale on raw live vocals like VOL on Blueprint, ugh. I wish she'd show everyone she is still reigning. (Thursday 2 October 2014; 16:58)

2015 (47,045) by B from USA 2015 marks twenty-five years of Mariah blessings us with her gift. Her voice is a gift from God. She's the lyricist of our generation. She's a singer-songwriter, producer, and actress. 2015 marks my twentieth year as a fan. I still remember where I was at when I heard Fantasy for the first time. I was ten when Fantasy came out in 1995 and I'll be thirty in 2015. Mariah's music is the soundtrack to my life. (Thursday 2 October 2014; 16:16)

Mariah (47,044) by B from USA Mariah writes her best songs (albums) when she's unhappy, has anyone else noticed this? (Thursday 2 October 2014; 14:25)

Just a thought (47,043) by Norman from USA Hello everyone. This is my first time writing a message on here, although I've been a frequent visitor and reader for a while now. I know all of us are wondering what Mariah's next move will be, and we all our opinions, so with that in mind I'd like to say that I believe our beloved Mimi will record a "live" album during this tour. It will include songs from this era as well as her greatest hits, and even new material (as she alluded to in a message to us lambs, I believe). This would give her a "live" album, greatest hits album, and the vibe of a new album all in one punch, all while she's on tour. I think that's why she's in the studio. She's laying it all down for it to pop off and slay all those mofo's that said she's over and done for. Either way, it's just a thought. Whatever she does, I just hope she's well and that her kids are well, too. Here's hoping you're all doing great. (Thursday 2 October 2014; 13:07)

Jonathan (47,041) by Abraham from USA You know, I've often thought the same thing. I would love to see Mariah do Broadway. I think she would do a good job. She usually is in charge of doing and controling everything. Her videos, etc. So it would work. And like you stated, have her tell a story. Her childhood, her career, break ups or about the new album. I think Mariah's acting is pretty good. She has it. Her performance in "Precious" was good. As far as her voice being able to handle it, I think so. Mariah's problem is that she doesn't rest it like she should. (No talking.) She just needs to do vocal warm ups. I really think her touring will help get her voice in a good place. That's what happened with the "Charmbracelet" tour. That got her voice the best it's ever been with "TEOM". (Thursday 2 October 2014; 10:01)

Broadway? (47,040) by Jonathan from United States I just thought, Mariah loves singing and she likes acting so why not Broadway? If she doesn't want to be in a show about something else then she could star in one about her life or get someone to play her although I would like to see her tackle an actual character. Just picture it, Glitter or the Christmas movie that may happen on Broadway. She could even do one based on MIAMTEC since it tells a story like Greenday did with American Idiot. Even if her acting sucks people will come because she is Mariah Carey, but my only concern would be could her voice handle it? Any thoughts? (Thursday 2 October 2014; 4:13)

Travon / Stacey (47,039) by Abraham from USA Travon, you don't owe anyone [...] an apology. [...] I for one like you and enjoy your commentary. Stacey, girl have a seat. Travon referenced you because of what you posted. "There will always be people who need their 15 seconds of fame no matter how foolish it makes them look." Who were you referring to? He assumed you were talking about him. Is being a fan longer than someone supposed to count for something. You came off rude in your post. So why don't you take your own advice and back it up a bit. (Thursday 2 October 2014; 0:49)

Trayvon (47,038) by Stacey from USA Just curious: why are you referencing me? Go back and read my posts to you in the past few days. Oh wait, there are none. I've been a fan since 1993, posting online since 2002. I'm 37, married, and a mother of three. Shoot, I've been a fan as long as you've been alive, lol. I've seen too many people post here thinking they can say whatever, go after whomever they want simply because they sit comfortably behind a computer screen. Back it up a bit and don't be so aggressive. We are all fans. However, just because Edward sees an issue differently than you do doesn't make him sound like a "non-fan" as you put it. It drives me crazy when one fan calls into question another fan's dedication because of a disagreement. It's not your place. You want the same courtesy and respect from other fans? Then be sure to give them that same treatment. Know what I mean? We are all fans here chatting about all things MC. You are welcomed. The drama is not. I've said my peace. Moving on. Peace.

Sales and number ones (47,036) by QueenLambassador from Portugal Album sales and number one albums are so relative. For instance, Sia sold 30,000 copies and she tops Billboard. Mariah sold more then that and lands a number 3. So, the question is, was Sia a hit because she topped the chart or was it a flop because she sold less? (Wednesday 1 October 2014; 22:42)

Re: Diva down that never was, nikki USA (47,035) by QueenLambassador from Portugal Im with you. But I don't think Mariah's problem isn't promotion, we saw what happened to JLo. It's a problem with mentality. Today's music listeners are very impressive and brain washed young people that do know a Michael Jackson, a Chet Baker, a Etta James and believe some new acts are the bomb. I accept we must embrace progress and change but I also believe we must recognize the origin of it all. Mariah has done so much that just the mention of her name is enough to fuel the evening news or the gossip columns. She doesn't need to move for people to know her. And I disagree when some say MC didn't promote: what was the whole Time Square thing ? Or BET? Or the Emprire State building thing or MTV with Sway? People just didn't react because they think she is old news. (Wednesday 1 October 2014; 22:39)

Diva down, that never was (47,034) by nikki from usa Apparently, the quieter Mariah is the more venomous the press gets. Gossip sites are overflowing with crazy stories and dragging her name through the mud. They all seem to acknowledge she's going through a divorce, but somehow make Mariah out to be some kind of a monster. WTF? Even Nick's twitter defense rant didn't help. If anything, it egged them on. I don't see Thicke or J.Lo getting the kind of crap Mariah's been getting for album sales either. Didn't they learn their lesson the last time they counted her out? As much as the press wants everyone to believe Mariah's "over", they 180 by comparing every newbie to her success. If sounding like MC can get you a hit, than Mariah will never be over. Hip pop today is a staple in music courtesy of Mariah. Over 2 million people tuned in this year to an MC special that was never promoted or publicized, just to hear this woman sing and talk. Everyone should fully expect the media to be "shocked" once again when Mariah decides to promote herself, by actually lifting a finger, to secure a future hit. (Wednesday 1 October 2014; 21:18)

2015 celebrates 25 years of Mariah Carey (47,033) by QueenLambassador from Portugal All the lambs in the land know music changed so much in this last decade. But, before music was all numbers and iTunes or YouTube views, music was about raw undeniable talent. In 2015 it will be 25 years Mariah. Can you believe it's been 25 years since VOL? It's been a bumpy ride for Mariah Carey: the highs, the lows, the grey spaces in life made her the icon and legend she is and it all began with the sophomore album that defined all the generation of singers to this date. Here to 25 more, queen Mimi. (Wednesday 1 October 2014; 18:36)

The Elusive Chanteuse Show (47,032) by QueenLambassador from Portugal It's nice to see Mariah is in such high demand. This only shows how the rest of the world is wrong. Mariah's latest effort was supposed to be big but something happened and it didn't happen. But I'm personally glad she still will tour the album and show her audience what these songs are about. This tour will have a sort of healing effect for her and will be enjoyable for the fans (the lucky ones who will see her). It is her time to shine and she seems to be working so hard. May the countdown begin. (Wednesday 1 October 2014; 18:30)
