Great start to the day (46,827) by pharaoh_shawn from New Zealand So glad to see Mariah is coming to New Zealand for the first time, last time I had to go over to Australia. I hope we give her a mean Maori welcoming like we did the king of pop Michael Jackson and of course when our Queen Elizabeth II and her children come over to visit.

There Goes My Heart (46,826) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Don't know what's gotten into me, but I have been listening a lot to Charmbracelet lately, which is the first Mariah album I've ever owned and listened to. I love a lot of tracks in it, including some of the bonus ones, especially Miss You and There Goes My Heart. I just love how the tropical island vibe immediately transports me to the beach wherever I may be. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is the only released Mariah track possessing this feel, right? She should do more of this. It would fit perfectly on any summer playlist or beach compilation. It reminds me of Janet Jackson's Spending Time With You. I also love how Mariah's so conflicted with her casual relationship and wants to take it to the next level but is being all shy about it. So sexy. The video for this could be a great sequel to the gorgeous Honey clip. Plus the ending lyrics are just perfect. Truly 7th heaven. (Thursday 18 September 2014; 3:24)

Stephen (46,825) by Edward from USA Stephen, I couldn't have said better, Wendy's just a hypocrite. Those crocodile tears a day after Whitney's death were so dishonest. Instead of talking about Mariah so viciously, she should keep an eye on her husband, her wigs, and her two ridiculous balloons. I understand the type of show she has, but sometimes she just goes over the top with her comments. (Wednesday 17 September 2014; 21:21)

Wendy Williams flip flopper (46,824) by Mirage_Nunez from America I thought I was the only person that had a certain distain for Wendy Williams way of "reporting" stories. My biggest issue with her is that she never bothers to have her facts straight and base all of her commentary off of hearsay. In other words she's a horrible gossip, I mean if you're gonna gossip at least be good at it. She reminds me of this exercise in school, when you tell one person in class a story in their ear and about time it gets all the way back around to the person who originally told it, it's a whole new story. That's how bad her "journalism" is and I use the word "journalism" very loosely. (Wednesday 17 September 2014; 21:10)

B / Adam (46,823) by Abraham from USA Thank you B, likewise. I've always enjoyed your posts as well. You always have nothing but nice things to say about Mariah. I'm also glad you love the album as much as I do. Adam you're right. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. But it's one thing to express an opinion on someone. But doing it in a rude, harsh and mean way is completely different and uncalled for. Someone of things Wendy said are true. But she could have said it in a more nice and respectable manner. Especially for someone who is a "so called" fan, or admires Mariah. She's always kicking Mariah when she's going through a difficult time. I stand by what I posted. Wendy is just mad and pressed that Mariah won't acknowledge her and come on her show. How can you say we are being mean and negative when Wendy was being that way to Mariah? Get over it. At the end of the end of the day, who do you love and side with the most? A music legend who has recorded and given the world timeless music or a tv talk host who gossips and trash talks? I for one find Edward's post funny. Many people have been questioning Wendy's gender since the first time she was seen. (Wednesday 17 September 2014; 20:52)

Re: ADAM (46,822) by MimiLamb from Germany I have a problem when people talk about the lambs in general like we all think and act alike. I never had a problem with JLo nor did I ever took part in the "rivalry" between the two. Nobody knows what really happened so why pretend we do know? Mariah herself said as well there is no rivalry. (Wednesday 17 September 2014; 20:52)

Edward (46,821) by Stephen from London, United Kingdom You're hilarious. I guess some people don't get your humour. I do agree re Wendy though. She's such a hypocrite. The way she spoke about and to Whitney in the years before her death was nothing short of disgusting. She then had the cheek to cry on her show when she died. She's a vile gossip monger, who doesn't have a real opinion on anything. She changes her opinion with the flow of wind. Whenever Mariah has been down in her career, she's tried kicking her. I say tried, because something as distasteful and unimportant as Wendy could never "kick" Mariah. She's irrelevant. Her opinions defy logic IMO. Regarding your drag queen comment, I've seen dogs dressed as bitches in drag with more going for them in the looks department. (Wednesday 17 September 2014; 19:20)

Wendy Williams on MC (46,820) by ADAM from USA Wendy Williams was born a female. Some lambs on here are just being mean spirited and spreading the negative word that she has been called "tranny" and has male-like features which are the worst things you could say about any female. Personally, I agreed with Wendy's opinion about Mariah and feel it was done in good spirit. She has been a long time supporter of MC in her radio and now TV days and has never wavered from her support for her whether it was in the Glitter era or even throughout the popularity of JLo in her hey day. She has always stated that MC and JLo are 2 different talents and can both exist which I couldn't agree with more. This rivalry between the 2 divas is really within the lambs and Mariah's delusion that JLo was intentionally apart of the plot to unravel the Glitter project. Anyways, my main point is that just because you may not like someone else telling the objective truth about Mariah's career and status among her fans doesn't make it ok to demean Wendy's appearance, grow up and keep your mean thoughts to yourself. It's America we are all entitled to our own opinion and to share it with others in a peaceful, non violent way. (Wednesday 17 September 2014; 17:21)

Butterfly (46,819) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines I was 14 when I first listened to Butterfly in its entirety. Back then, my musical taste was quite limited. I liked the singles, but it took me some time to take the rest of the album in save for Fourth Of July and Outside. It took me quite a while to appreciate the album as a whole, as I've previously always felt it was too moody and even a bit overlong. But, just like a real slow-burner, I have come to understand its appeal - dark yet sultry, and most importantly, emotionally naked. Now, I still feel like it sags a bit during the second half, but that doesn't change the fact that it will always remain Mariah's greatest body of work to me (so far). All her albums are snapshots of what she was during that time, but to me, this one always gave the most vivid image. Happy birthday, Butterfly. Out of all of Mariah's 90s albums, you have aged the most gracefully. (Wednesday 17 September 2014; 16:04)

Cry. (46,818) by Ken from USA You know when you can't remember what song some lyrics are from? That happened to me today. I couldn't remember where "and I didn't know enough, truly too enchanted to disregard the words you said" so in my head I scanned through Mariah's debut thinking it was from there, then I realised where its actually from got a lot of love for Cry, such a "classic" Mariah sound.

Edward (46,817) by Will from England Since when was Wendy a man? (Wednesday 17 September 2014; 15:41)

8 Questions with MC (46,816) by Andy from Germany I really enjoyed this short interview. I felt it was more grounded and calm than other ones. Also, this interview showed the smart and working side of MC. (Wednesday 17 September 2014; 14:50)

Bill / Wendy Williams (46,814) by Edward from USA Bill, Wendy is a woman, I guess. Some people think she's just a man in a dress. (Wednesday 17 September 2014; 14:23)

Edward (46,813) by Bill from the UK Wait, Wendy is a man? (Wednesday 17 September 2014; 13:40)

Wendy Williams who? (46,812) by Edward from USA Wendy Williams is just jealous because Mariah is a real woman. No matter how many wigs and make up Wendy wears, even RuPaul looks more feminine and natural than him. Most drag queens love Mariah, so I don't understand why Wendy Williams doesn't. He is a disgrace to the drag queen community. Wendy hasn't quite understood that when you mess with the best, you die like the rest. He had been kind of supportive of Mariah for the past few years, but now he came back viciously spitting fire out of his mouth. he wasn't just gossiping, he was being plain evil. I hope Mariah won't ever set foot on his show, ever. As for Mariah's album being a flop, I take MIAMTEC anytime over Ariana's all over the place album with all her three hits. I have the feeling that MIAMTEC is going to become a cult classic in the future. (Wednesday 17 September 2014; 12:02)

Happy anniversary Butterfly (46,811) by Bill from the UK When I get home from work tonight I will listen to this album and transport "back in time" to when a 15 year old me first listened to this album. I was rendered speechless by its beauty, elegance and maturity - and still am to this day. A true pinnacle of her glorious career. (Wednesday 17 September 2014; 11:11)

Re: Miss You (46,810) by Nicky from Jasmine's Sofa I always loved this song. It has such a moody darkness The Roof-esque but dance track. It is about the same guy as Don't Forget About Us (remix) and The Roof, My All/Stay Awhile (remix). You can tell by the quality of those two remix videos, the style of the songs, I love this Mariah. Subtle Invitation, Lullaby, Thank God I Found You Make It Last Forever Remix. I love it all. Btw, I think she is most beautiful in the Don't Forget About Us (remix), The Roof, My All/Stay Awhile (remix) videos. (Wednesday 17 September 2014; 9:48)

Butterfly (46,809) by Randy from USA I get upset with this board sometimes because you all nitpick everything MC does. I agree her live performances have been wobbly, the voice needs repair and her image is comical to the general public. With all of that said, it doesn't add or detract from my life and I'm not in tears because of the current state of those things. I have to wonder if some of you have a career, a family, a job, or a God and Savior the way you obsess over MC's every little move. Now with that said, the reason I fell in love with MC is this album. On Butterfly's 17th anniversary, I learned that an artist could be commercial and deep at the same time. She uses impressive vocabulary, intricate melodies and different arrangements/genres to create this pop masterpiece. And it flows together seamlessly. There has never been an album that infuses genres and flows together like this nor will there ever be. It manages to mix pop: Butterfly, My All, Whenever You Call, Close My Eyes, with R&B: Babydoll with Hip Hop: Honey, The Roof, with Gospel: Outside with 70s/80s Soul/Funk: Fourth of July, The Beautiful Ones and with Dance/Techno Butterfly Reprise/Fly Away. No matter where MC is commercially, artistically or image-wise, I will always be grateful for this album. (Wednesday 17 September 2014; 6:09)

Miss You (46,808) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Anyone else really digging this song? I've always wondered why this didn't make the final main tracklist for Charmbracelet. If they deemed it inferior to the tracks that did, then I don't really feel the same way. I mean that chorus is just relentless in all the right ways. Plus, I feel like it's sort of the sequel to Boy (I Need You) in some way. And when JD introduces the bridge as the sexy part, it really, really is. Fun, light, and flirty - what's not to like? (Wednesday 17 September 2014; 4:06)

Abraham (46,807) by B from USA I love reading your post. (Wednesday 17 September 2014; 0:54)

Mariah (46,806) by B from USA I'm not worried about Mariah's mental health. She was exhausted, not suicidal. Nick and his family and his management team know the public thinks she's crazy after the events that occurred in 2001. It's a chead and obvious ploy to try to get custody of the children. (Wednesday 17 September 2014; 0:52)

Thoughts (46,802) by B from USA The 25 Criminally underrated Mariah Carey songs was a great article besides the fact that they included Boy (I Need You). They should have given its spot to Can't Take That Way (Mariah's Theme). Other than that it's great. Some of Mariah favorite songs made the list Do You Think Of Me, Slipping Away, When I Saw You, Melt Away, The Roof, Breakdown, Baby Doll. Did they author include Close My Eyes? I think he or she did. If not it deserved inclusion. Nick is a loser. I honestly think he cheated and that was the straw that broke the camel's back. Mariah will survive this and come out stronger than ever. With an album that will silence the journalists who have written her off. Mariah writes her best songs when she's unhappy, miserable, hurt, and betrayed. Her last divorce inspired the masterpiece that is Butterfly. Mariah you're in my prayers and thoughts. Lamb for life. (Wednesday 17 September 2014; 0:27)

Wendy Williams (46,801) by Brad from USA I always get the sense that Wendy is just a little bit jealous of Mariah because she knows that Mariah can always change her hair and make-up and not look like a busted up drag queen. (Tuesday 16 September 2014; 19:58)
