Marching Band "Thirsty" (46,787) by Chicago Lamb from USA (Monday 15 September 2014; 16:10)

Nick (46,785) by Abraham from USA What a cute pic. But does anyone really think Nick has a chance of getting full custody of the kids? Nick needs to have a seat. Why would he want full custody if he would never be home to be with them. Going to court with Mariah Carey is like going to court with Donald Trump. He has no chance. I mean, isn't he busy with his new, *young* girlfriend? (Sunday 14 September 2014; 21:40)

Campaign for UK Christmas #1 (46,784) by Martyn from England, UK Hey guys. So I've made a Facebook page for the campaign I mentioned in my previous post, you can find it here. Once the page has 25 likes I can get a shorter URL for it and I'll start spreading the word to Mariah Daily and all the other fansites. Invite all the Mariah fans you know. And if anybody wants to share admin duties, let me know and I'll sign you up. (Sunday 14 September 2014; 18:50)

Ariana is not Mariah (46,783) by Nina from USA 1) She doesn't write or produce her own music. 2) She hasn't had even one #1 hit on Billboard's Hot 100. Mariah has had 18. 3) Her voice doesn't have the beautiful tone of Mariah's. She sounds like she's screaming and she can't reach the very low notes that Mariah can. (Sunday 14 September 2014; 15:49)

May / Billy (46,782) by Abraham from USA Yes that's what I was referring to, lol. I had never watched the video of "The roof". Honestly I didn't like it. There's nothing that goes on in it. But the song is good. I would agree that she does look amazing in "Say something". I love when she straightens her hair. Billy I too like "Cry" and would say it is a masterpiece. It gives me classic Mariah. The whole album is a masterpiece. (Sunday 14 September 2014; 11:22)

Tour musical director (46,781) by Billy from Greece Big Jim Wright is the musical director for the tour. Yet another step in the right direction. I love all of his contributions to Mariah's album, ever since "Rainbow", and I'm really happy they have a steady partnership throughout the years. I wish they did even more stuff together. And can we mention once more that "Cry." is an absolute masterpiece? (Sunday 14 September 2014; 10:21)

Thank you Darryle and Edward (46,777) by Bill from the UK Thanks for that, listening to it now it is pretty clear lol. I did scratch my head wondering why she was mentioned a president from the early 60s in a homage to the 80s haha. (Saturday 13 September 2014; 20:49)

Bill / Eric B (46,776) by Edward from USA Bill, she sings "Eric B was president". Of course nobody named Eric B was ever president, she's referring to the single "Eric B Is President" released by Eric B. & Rakim in 1986. The references on Dedicated are about the 80's, so mentioning Kennedy wouldn't make any sense. (Saturday 13 September 2014; 16:40)

Bill (46,775) by Darryle from USA I think she is saying Eric B was president. I think it's a reference to an old hip hop song Eric B is president, which is from a hip hop group Eric B and Rakim. It would make sense since the song is based around old school hip hop. The song itself is based around a sample of the song Da Mystery of Chessboxin' by the Wu-Tang Clan. I hope this helps. (Saturday 13 September 2014; 14:57)

What picture Abraham? (46,774) by May from Denmark The one portrayed at the Buzzfeed article? That's from the clip "The Roof". I think she looked the sexiest and maybe her sexiest ever in that video, though I think she looked gorgeous in the bronze monokini in the video "Say something" and really outgoing in "Loverboy" with all the short-shorts. But in "The Roof" Mariah has real sex appeal, which I personally think Mariah has a lack of compared to Kylie Minogue who oozes sex appeal in a natural way and not forced. Mariah needs more videos like that one and like "Breakdown", it was delightful to see her with all those costumes and make up changes. I think The Roof video was done beautifully, with close ups showing Mariah singing with the rain pouring in her face, playing with the make up in a very feminine way in the dark bathroom, the casual touching with the male participant but not in a sleazy way, in a real sensual way. Then appearing all wet from the rain in that sleek sexy black dress. Gorgeous video, one of her best for me. (Saturday 13 September 2014; 13:10)

Picture (46,773) by Abraham from USA That's a great pic of Mariah. She looks beautiful and sexy as hell. Is that from '99? Looks like from the "Rainbow" era. I miss those type of dresses she used to wear. This is kind of silly but, I really like Mariah with long hair. She's had a lot of great hair styles. But there's just something with the long hair that makes Mariah more attractive. Whether it's straight or wavy, it suits her. (Saturday 13 September 2014; 12:07)

Ariana (current) Mariah (timeless) (46,772) by Lainsky from Philippines Okay I know people are tired already comparing the two but allow me to get you tired just a little bit. I listened to her rendition of Emotions and AIWFCIY and yes the girl can definitely sing. However, not because I am a Mariah fan okay, again however, her voice is not as powerful and solid as Mariah's. I like Ariana because she has a voice and can sing too distinctively. I am happy that this generation still has a great singer and good music I guess in her. But of course, no one could ever take MC's place and equal her artistry and musicality. Come on people. Mariah has the unique soaring voice with melisma, talent to write, to produce music and even direct her own video. She's a true artist and icon. Timeless I must say. (Saturday 13 September 2014; 10:44)

Buzzfeed article (46,771) by Bill from the UK That was a great article, but I'm upset Glitter didn't get a mention. To me that entire album is underrated, bit especially songs like Lead The Way, If We, Twister and Reflections. Nearly passed out when I saw Boy described as a fan favourite lol. One thing - on the description of Dedicated, it quotes the lyrics as "Eric B was president", I thought she sang "Kennedy was president", am I wrong? (Saturday 13 September 2014; 8:55)

MC's body of work (46,770) by Marissa from USA I just read the "25 Criminally underrated Mariah Carey songs" article and while listening to the songs and looking at the lyrics I am just in awe of what a huge body of work she has. It's not just a huge body of work, but every album just screams excellence. How many stars do you know that have at least 5 album cuts that sound single-worthy on every album they make? It's a shame to me that the general public act like being a MC fan is so 10 years ago, because if anyone's deserving of a devoted fanbase, it's her. People need to look at the facts of her career and stop acting as if she's contributed nothing to the industry just because she's not at the top of the charts every week. (Saturday 13 September 2014; 5:35)

Jenny / Shelly (46,769) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha I am glad I am not alone. By now I probably know every hand movement and I also do the "head shake" she does when things get to intense, "the mild head shake while simultaneously looking downwards", "the eyebrow routine with or without 1 palm up", "the slow spin with one hand up in the air" (this is fairly recent from We Belong Together), there is another move I don't know how to describe it, "the mouth stretch" where she stretches her mouth muscles to put emphasis on the words and this is usually paired with the eyebrow routine, then there is the "simultaneous look down both palms up" (usually I crack that during Heartbreaker), the real swift "look right left and throw head back and give the audience a confident gaze" she does at the end of a killer vocal moment at the end of a song. There are so many more, if you guys remember any let me know. (Saturday 13 September 2014; 3:05)

Music Box / next album (46,768) by Abraham from USA Today I listened to the "Music Box" album from start to finish. And it truly is a beautiful, amazing album. The music, songs, lyrics, Mariah's voice. I love everything about it. Including the cover art. It's my favorite album cover of Mariah. She looks so beautiful and precious. I would love if Mariah did another black and white album cover. But maybe some would think it's boring? Not me though. My favorite tracks I never get enough of from the album are "Anytime you need a friend" (amazing), "Music box" (beautiful), "Now that I know" (one of Mariah's best). Those vocals, and it's so 1993 and "Everything fades away" (epic). "Music box" and "Me I am Mariah" are hands down my two favorite albums. Both are a beautiful body of work. I really hope Mariah makes another great body of work with the next. I want more ballads, gospel and vocals. (Saturday 13 September 2014; 1:10)

Jenny (46,767) by Brad Catoe from United States I wanted to make fun of you, but I do the same thing hahaha. Oh and I can't sing worth s*** haha. I'm practically tone deaf hahaha. I feel bad for my neighbors during my adolescence (Butterfly era) haha. (Friday 12 September 2014; 23:55)

Hand movements (46,766) by Dove from USA I do the hand movements too. My son laughs at me all the time for it. I always play music when I clean. I'll be washing dishes, folding laundry, or some other chore, and when it gets to a dramatic part I'll step back and get really into it and do the hand movements. My son or whoever's around will bust out laughing so then I do too. I could probably win a lip sync competition, I'm so good at it. Somtimes I sing it for real but it sounds horrible. (Friday 12 September 2014; 23:21)

Hand movements (46,765) by Jenny from South Africa I do the Mariah hand movements when I sing too Mimi L. Not only when I'm singing Mariah's songs but any song. I catch myself doing it all the time and I'll just start laughing. I really think it helps me sing better though. Not that I have any singing ability lol. (Friday 12 September 2014; 21:19)

Miss You Most (At Christmas Time) (46,764) by Bill from the UK I lost somebody dear a few years ago. This song is so poignant and beautiful and special to me now. It really is a sincere, heartfelt, hidden gem. How a woman so young could produce such heartbreaking lyrics just shows how she has always been a talent beyond her years. And her vocals are spell binding. All of Mariah's own Christmas music is special but for her to recognise so young that Christmas is, for many, a time to reflect, reminisce and remember loved ones that we so desperately miss, makes me realise what a fantastic song writer she is. I get a lump in my throat every time I play this gorgeous song. (Friday 12 September 2014; 20:22)

Enunciation (46,763) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The problem with Ariana's enunciation is the same as that of Britney's and li'l Wayne's. All three of them sound like they are singing/rapping with candy in their mouth. (Friday 12 September 2014; 20:01)

Thanks Edward and Darryle (46,762) by Manny from U.S. Thank you for responding to my question. I was confused because Ariana performed "AIWFCIY" live at some show. I thought she needed permission to performed it live at a public setting. That seemed more serious than her performance of "Emotions" on YouTube. That was the only thing I was curious about. Sometimes I also get annoyed by how much the focus is on other singers here. I don't mind it superficially with not much details but if it goes something like this, "Their debut album, their new album, the new video, the lyrics, the interview", I do not read it. (Friday 12 September 2014; 19:44)

Tabloids (46,761) by Mara from United States Well the tabloids are at it again. Why does it seem every gossip story that is out there is favorable to Nick? They are all over MC and waitng for a breakdown. It is so hurtful to see. It seems like Nick is doing just fine. If he is not, why wear the statement clothing articles? From the "Saved" hat to the most recent jacket with "Freedom" printed across his back. How insensitive can you be? And no it's not for fashion or whatever he should be smart enough to know the media is watching and will make a lot out of the words "saved" and "freedom". Is he trying to hurt Mariah? It seems he only came out defending when "he" was being accused of cheating with a girl who literally has a photoshoot identical to MC's MIAM cover, outfit and even orange clouds and poses. If I recall he defended other people have lives, family and careers? Who does, this girl? He should have defended his wife before. Where is he now? Now that the gossip once again shifted just to MC. Mariah stay strong and you will get through this storm too. We love you. (Friday 12 September 2014; 19:01)
