Stacey (46,355) by Stephen from London, United Kingdom You know what they say about great minds, right? Lol. I agree, I hope it can be sorted out amicably too. However, if Nick couldn't keep his mouth shut during the marriage, I can't foresee him doing that in the long term post any divorce. Whilst I feel for Mariah, my last post doesn't take away from my opinions re how Mariah should have got out there and promoted MIAMTEC. Whilst, I now understand why she hasn't, I personally would have gone out there held my job and career together. With that being said, I'm trying not to judge, as I've never been divorced, thankfully lol. (Monday 25 August 2014; 12:28)

Mariah Carey is Mariah carey (46,354) by Fahmi Mustaffa from Malaysia Having said that, she will bounce higher everytime she falls. The industry will try as much to bring her down but we know that she is the falcon, rising up, soaring from dem ashes. Lambily will always be by her side. Through thick and thin, through eveything. She is our Mariah Carey. She will soar with another record, maybe Me. I Am Mariah to the second power, and she will prove that no matter how much people try to bring her down, she will just gonna fly higher. We love you, Mariah. (Monday 25 August 2014; 10:38)

Mariah's next CD: They Call The Wind Mariah (46,353) by John from USA On a lighter note: What do you think about calling Mariah's next CD by the same song that her mother named her after (with a twist of course, using Mariah, instead of the original Maria)? (Monday 25 August 2014; 4:56)

Is he serious? (46,352) by Abraham from USA Nick's dad reminds me of Kelly Price. Nobody cares for his boring book. Watch it flop more than Mariah's album. (Monday 25 August 2014; 4:41)

Daydream's video so sweet (46,351) by Andrew crisostomo from Canada, niagara falls I love that video you posted here, I don't know if you made it or somebody else, but its the sweetest thing. I know Nick loves her and he always talks about it like seen on the video so he gotta do whatever to make it work. You know what, I'm going to copy that video and post it on twitter so hopefully it blows up and starts trending and maybe, just maybe Nick Cannon will see it. I would love it if you all are with me. My twitter is @bfotch. (Monday 25 August 2014; 3:47)

Now we know the kind MC married into (46,350) by jaker20 from US Not only is Nick going to talk, it looks to me that his family is just like him. And most likely cash in on her failed married. Yeah, I'll be a broken record to say I never liked Nick, but here it is for the world to see why, unfolding right before our eyes. Guess what, MC is classy enough not to bring this family matter to the media and public. Unfortunately the other half isn't like her. (Monday 25 August 2014; 2:21)

Video posted by Daydream327 (46,349) by TS from United States This is the sweetest thing ever for you (or whoever did) to compile this together. My heart is going out to their entire family right now. I hope they can come to realize that no matter what, all marriages have their ups and downs, and that although resiliency is hard to find at times, the journey to get there only makes you (as a person, a couple, or a family as a whole) stronger than you could ever be. Mariah has inspired us tremendously always with the inspirational pieces she makes throughout her career. I hope she finds her inner hero to come along to save her family and remembers that nobody can take that away from her. (Monday 25 August 2014; 0:49)

Dear everyone (46,348) by Anthony Basco from Cardiff, Wales So many things happen in our lives. Christmas and birthdays, love and heartbreak, illness and death. It's all part of life. One thing I get strongly from listening to Mariah is that she's a strong woman. Someone who is able to express themselves, either via speaking to a friend or writing a song, is a strong person. It means they aren't burying their head in the sand. Acceptance is part of grief, and grief is normal and healthy. I believe Mariah is stronger than the sum of what we know of her, and she will be fine. For bless, Mariah, and we're all here for you. As a final note, I just want to say, whenever a marriage breaks down, usually it's both parties have a part to play and "the blame game" is not helping anyone. Let's just support our idol and not get involved with blaming she or he. It's not our life, or business. Whatever either says is their own version of events. We can have our own opinion, I just politely suggest being non-judgemental. (Monday 25 August 2014; 0:04)

Thirsty haters (46,345) by Terna from Nigeria For the real lambs in here, don't believe everything you read camouflaged as "news". Pay no attention nor second thoughts to it. (Sunday 24 August 2014; 21:14)

Wishing Mariah all the best (46,344) by Persa from Greece I just want to express my love and support to Mariah. This is such a sad turn of events. I hope she is doing fine and that she has people around her, close family and friends, to stand on her side at this difficult time. I can't believe Nick Cannon has proven to be such a low class person, badmouthing his wife and mother of his children to the whole world. I never liked him in the first place but he was her choice and she seemed happier than ever. Mariah deserves so much better than him. (Sunday 24 August 2014; 19:25)

"The purity of a child's heart before it was ever broken" (46,343) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Mariah and family are certainly in my thoughts and prayers now. Although none of us who follow her work, and we're acquainted with many details of her life via "celebrity" we can't really ever claim to "know" her. Her music has been a huge part of my life's soundtrack since I was 12 when (Vision Of Love came out). The lack of promotion makes sense. Perhaps folks will cut her some slack during such a transition period. As Stacey mentioned, it takes two in a marriage and both Nick and Mariah are co-creators of their personal experience. No one is to blame, it just is what it is. Pretty telling that "It's a wrap" and "Betcha Gonna know" are on the deluxe version of MIAMTIC. That's not an accident. I have to say I respect her choice not to do a promo blitz for the record. I know it upset many lambs, but seriously, how would she genuinely promote this album without taking about the songs and potentially making the whole thing about "airing dirty laundry"? Her song lyrics on the album are clearly cathartic expression for her. Like a musical diary. Sending love to everyone involved. (Sunday 24 August 2014; 19:10)

Stacey (46,342) by Will from England I was thinking exactly the same thing this morning (that "Camouflage" is this album's "Petals"). It saddens me that she writes her best songs when she's sad/upset. (Sunday 24 August 2014; 17:28)

Stacey from USA (46,341) by Gilbert from USA I'm with you on that. I was listening to Camouflage on the drive to work this morning and I could feel the pain and it makes sense (now that we know about the marriage troubles) and I thought how close I feel even more to her because she is giving us a little piece of her life that she is experiencing. Thirsty came on a few songs after then I thought it also made sense. Nick is Thirsty for fame and was taking gigs left and right. I remember somewhere I think it was on her twitter chat she had when the album came out saying she likes to keeps things slightly vague so each person who is experiencing it can relate. Then later there was some footage shot where Nick said Thirsty was about him and Mariah was like I don't know where he got that from. (Sunday 24 August 2014; 17:04)

Nowhere but down (46,340) by Darryle from USA I have know idea what Mariah's going to do after all of this over. It must be so emotionally and physically draining on her. With Nick and his dad commenting on her health and the kids. Then there's all the people on the internet that couldn't give a rat's a** about Mariah before, but the moment they hear she's separated they think they know something about her insecurities or the way she acts outside of the public eye. I only see this going downhill. Hopefully I'm wrong and Mariah can find solace and peace in her fans, dem babies, her family, and the Lord. (Sunday 24 August 2014; 16:25)

Tidbit (46,339) by PJW from The U.K. Did you know that Mariah's name is actually Maria? Ma-rye-ah is the true English pronounciation of Maria. As the world became more connected the Latin pronounciation has been commonly adopted. One could argue that Mariah is a name in its own right, however we know that Patricia named her after the musical "They call the wind Maria", itself spelt correctly but pronounced with Rye-ah. [Webmaster: Actually, the musical is called "Paint your wagon", and in it is a song called "They call the wind Maria".] (Sunday 24 August 2014; 15:07)

Shelly (46,338) by Abraham from USA I've watched that performance like 3 times this week. It's one of my favorite performances. My all time favorite performance is from '05 at the BET blueprint where she sang "Vision of love". She had so much energy and was confident. I know Lorde and Taylor Swift, but don't listen to them. But I think they're okay. With everything that's going on in Mariah's life, I wish her the best. Like you stated in one of your posts. I too want another successful era. Something tells me that she's going to bring it with the next album (hopefully). Let's just wait and see. It's going to be interesting what she is going to name the album now with what is happening with her and Nick. I actually like the "MIAMTEC" album title and cover. (Sunday 24 August 2014; 12:36)

MIAMTEC (46,337) by Tiina from Finland When the album came out I was surprised of the tone. I was expecting it to be happy and upbeat because she was supposed to have it all. Now we know. I too have been listening to the album more closely, especially the lyrics. I definitely think that Cry., Faded and Camouflage are about Nick. And Thirsty. Even before the separation rumours, I always thought it was fitting. I think Mariah denied it but come on. Mariah has written very personal songs about difficult subjects before. It creeps in. I think the album is brilliant. It's some of her best work, hands down. The only songs I'm not crazy about are Supernatural, Meteorite and YME. (Sunday 24 August 2014; 12:33)

Back up (46,336) by Andrew from UK Okay I don't like Nick Cannon. Never have. Especially when he constantly says "my wife" instead of "Mariah" as if he has something to prove. However, Nick and Mariah's marriage problems do not, all of a sudden, mean that she should be more respected for the disaster that was MIAM. Nick didn't cause her to release terrible videos, release the worst song on the album as a single, hire yes-men as managers, [censored], lip-sync badly, guest-star on her own songs, make wearing a dress in a subway the only promotion or an album you spent years on, neglect the fans. (Sunday 24 August 2014; 11:58)

Rediscovering MIAM (46,334) by Stacey from USA I have to say I am falling more in love with MIAM now that news of marriage troubles has come to light. What a fantastic and sad album too. I can't help but feel so sad for Mariah after listening to Camoflauge. The song reminds me so much of Petals. She thought that finally she had found a happy marriage, kids, family life, etc. People can say Butterfly is her most vulnerable album. But, after all that's gone on in the past week, MIAM might just might bump Butterfly off that top spot, IMO. I've been letting every song play one after the other and you can see why the sequencing was so important. Brilliant talent. (Sunday 24 August 2014; 8:02)

Stephen (46,333) by Stacey from USA I could not agree more with your last post. Mariah Carey is a brand that will never go away. Her legacy is set in stone. Numbers don't lie. It seems after a struggle, MC always comes back and knocks down the naysayers. MC's career/direction/focus has been off since marrying Nick Cannon. I was skeptical of the marriage, but gladly ate crow because she genuinely looked happy. With having kids, as a fellow parent (my son was born 2 weeks before M&M), I was glad she got the chance to experience being a mom. It's the great job on earth. But, some of the things he's said about their relationship I've stated here should have remained private. I've trying not to dig too hard on Nick, though. I hope he'll do the right thing and tell his parents to shut up and let Mariah move forward. The difference with this divorce then with Tommy is now there are kids involved. I hope Nick and Mariah can be friends. Ironic MC was also 3 when her parents divorced. (Sunday 24 August 2014; 7:58)

Well, Nick himself confirmed it on The Insider (46,332) by jaker20 from US What other proof some of you guys want? They're not entitled to explain us the details in a tell-all interview on CNN or some sort. Nick himself said The Insider that they've been living apart for awhile now and there's trouble in paradise. That's straight from him and his big mouth and that should be more than enough. If the separation isn't true, he would be outright denying it or at least working on fixing his marriage right about now, and say something along those lines: "We're working things out." Making an official announcement of a divorce is tacky and tasteless especially when there's kids involved. If this is indeed true, I would rather this issue kind of just fade away without media hoopla, so the paps, media and fans would leave them alone until they are comfortable to talk. But I know that'll be difficult, because clearly Nick is itching to give us more information than we need. (Sunday 24 August 2014; 6:38)

Lee (46,331) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I do hope that these are just rumors. It would be really sad if Nick's "statements" are really true. Whatever may be the cause of the divorce, they should not throw dirt at each other because at one point of time they made each other really happy. So I hope these rumors are fake. I would hate it if it turns out that Nick married Mariah for the fame/money because seeing them so in love kind of made me think (contrary to my initial doubts) that he did love her. Another thing may have happened is that he married his idol and got tired of the "human" Mariah, the real person. Which sucks, I think Mariah despite her flaws is a great person. (Sunday 24 August 2014; 6:34)

Roc (46,330) by OGmattyICE from US What just came to mind is now I bet Mariah regrets naming her son Morroccan just because of where she and Nick got married. Now she has to live with that. This whole situation just makes me so upset. (Sunday 24 August 2014; 5:14)

Divorce inaccuracies/ gossip (46,329) by LC from USA Has anyone been reading/watching what the "news" sites are saying about Mariah? They are painting her like some needy housewife without any relevance, while showing Nick as the victim of her diva wrath. I can't believe all of this slander. The Breakfast Club people (who were kissing ass when she was there) are now saying that Mariah is irrelevant and "hasn't sold a record since 1990", while saying Nick "won". It seems to me that almost everyone believes that Mariah is some horrible diva who shouldn't be mad about Nick's past relationships and is dumb for being mad about him working. Ugh. I am so so so pissed at all of this. People can be so shallow. We know nothing about the situation, so I wish they would shut up. I cannot wait until Mariah's statement. I cannot wait until she sets everything straight and shuts up all these haters. But until then, what I love to see is all lambs have put aside the trivialities and united in support of Mariah. Amidst all of the arguments over promo, sales, her reputation, etc., at the end of the day, we all love her and it's beautiful to see. I really hope she knows that. (Sunday 24 August 2014; 5:08)
