Stephen, Billy / Faded (46,159) by Stacey from USA Gosh, when I hear the song I can't help but sing "When it's for real, it's forever, so don't forget about us." (Wednesday 20 August 2014; 19:08)

Faded intro (46,158) by ACMRitz from United States If you all listen to the intro to Faded she is just writing something on her iPhone and whispers the words 'It was overcast that day, so I was feeling some kinda way." I am still curious about that Instagram photo she posted with a notepad with the words "To Love Me" written on them. (Wednesday 20 August 2014; 18:19)

Certifications (46,157) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Don't you just miss those times when having a single go platinum really meant something? I mean not that it doesn't now, but the digital age has somehow warped our perception of commercial success in the music industry. Remember when artists back then somehow relied more on airplay than sales to top the charts because people who supported a single would have to choose between buying a single or an entire album, and that either would require an actual trip to the record store? #Beautiful going platinum is still quite an achievement, especially considering Mariah's age and current place in today's music scene. But that feat is easily dwarfed by other artists nowadays whose songs reach quadruple platinum status. That seemed to be impossible back in the era of physical singles. Then, even going gold was considered impressive. Now, the only way a platinum single would stand out from the many other certified tracks out there is if it was achieved within a record time. Digital downloads have made purchasing music much easier, but has also somehow rendered sales certifications less significant. (Wednesday 20 August 2014; 16:47)

Who's the best of 90's? (46,156) by Twisterman from Brazil So among all icons from 90's, which is your favourite one? Vote for Mariah. (Wednesday 20 August 2014; 16:35)

Billy from Greece (46,154) by Stephen from London, United Kingdom That's a very good observation regarding Faded. I had never thought of it in that light, but now that you say it, I can kind of see the comparison. I love Faded. Such a great track. (Wednesday 20 August 2014; 15:39)

"Faded" (46,153) by Billy from Greece Sometimes I feel like it is the child of "Alone in love" and "Sent from up above". Awesome track. (Wednesday 20 August 2014; 15:09)

Me. I am... listening to the music (46,148) by Alex from England I have been listening to the album non-stop since May and I am still so much in love with it to the point that I just do not care anymore for sales and stuff like that. Mariah is and will always be Mariah, no matter how short the dresses, big the boobs, diva-ish her attitude, she will always make the music she wants and actually will always do however she pleases, even if some people do not like it. I honestly miss the 90's when people were just happy to have new music. While the internet is a great place for so many reasons it is a shame that so many people would spend their time putting out so much negativity about everything (just go on YouTube, you can't read the comment section under a video without wanting to punch someone for writing horrible things). And that goes for Mariah and everything else in this world. In short, I miss feeling the love for our Mariah, that woman who has touched our hearts in so many different ways over the course of our lives. God forbid, the day she passes on, everyone will just sing her praises just like people did for Whitney or Michael when they were very happy to tear them down when they were alive. Maybe it's time to appreciate the body of work of one of the greatest singers who has ever lived and be thankful we can still enjoy her music. (Wednesday 20 August 2014; 2:41)

Thanks Will (46,147) by Manny from U.S. I can't believe I never made that out. I really thought it was Morris code for something like "faded". Or anything that would make someone "faded", Now, it reminds me of the Thanksgiving special when she was on her porch writing lyrics in her notebook. The clip before "Dreamlover". (Wednesday 20 August 2014; 2:36)

Sales (46,146) by Otti from Belgium When they state more than 200 million albums sold, than is it because Mariah Carey albums sold every second, you know. When they state 250 million than it is more specific. Remember in 2005, when TEOM did well on the charts, her back catalogue start to sell even more. Ex Mariah Carey the greatest hits and the remixes begun to sell even more than when they were released. Even more every year around Christmas time, her Merry (2) Christmas albums and single AIWFC start to sell again. So it's no lie that she is one of the best selling female artist ever. With timeless classics songs and albums under her belt, fans or not fans still buy her older music. (Wednesday 20 August 2014; 2:08)

Ice bucket challenge (46,145) by Marissa from USA Lol I think hell would have to freeze over for Mariah to accept the ice bucket challenge but it would be fun to be proved wrong. (Wednesday 20 August 2014; 1:55)

Twisterman (46,144) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Did anyone nominate her yet? It would be fun. I think it's highly unlikely that she will do it but if she does, I will be pleasantly surprised. Mariah does surprise once in a while, like the way she wore a long gown in the pool or when she wore the yellow outfit during AI and wore it while swimming in the ocean. I would love it if she takes the challenge. (Wednesday 20 August 2014; 1:53)

Ice bucket challenge (46,143) by Twisterman from Brazil What do you think: would Mariah accept to participate in the ice bucket challenge? (Tuesday 19 August 2014; 22:55)

MC and Nick (46,142) by Dove from USA If it's true I hope they are okay and that they will remain amicable for the sake of their children. (Tuesday 19 August 2014; 22:36)

Manny from U.S. (46,139) by Will from England Hi Manny, it's just her murmuring the lyrics to the song, and noting them down. The tapping is just the sound the iPhone makes when the keys are hit. So, it's like you're hearing her creative process and coming up with the lyrics/noting down the lyrics on her pad of paper/iPhone before we go into the song. If you listen real carefully, you'll hear she does the same to "You're Mine" (album version). (Tuesday 19 August 2014; 21:50)

My dream set list (46,137) by Dove from USA I know there are a lot of songs here but she can lip some of them. Concert tickets are expensive and we should get our money's worth. There are a lot of medleys to fit more songs. 01. End of Time intro (first verse and chorus) 02. Meteorite/There's Got to Be a Way medley 03. 100%/Hero/Can't Take that Away medley 04. Migrate/Get Your Number/I Didn't Mean to Turn You On medley 05. #Beautiful/Touch My Body/Your Girl medley 06. Make It Look Good/Ribbon/Bliss mashup 07. Loverboy/All My Life 08. Dreamlover/Honey/Fantasy medley 09. Dedicated/Candy Bling/Money ($*?...) medley 10. Betcha Gon Know/Heartbreaker (HB starts out slow and sad) medley 11. You Don't Know What to Do/It's a Wrap/Faded medley 12. You're Mine (Eternal)/And You Don't Remember/We Belong Together medley 13. I Still Believe (Imagination Remix/The Roof mashup or medley 14. Thirsty/Obsessed 15. Side Effects/The Art of Letting Go/I Wish You Well medley 16. Bye Bye/One Sweet Day/Never Forget You medley 17. Reflections/Camouflage medley 18. Looking In/Outside medley 19. Languishing/I Want to Know What Love Is (extended with live band) 20. Rainbow Interlude 21. Heavenly/Fly Like a Bird medley 22. I Am Free/My Saving Grace medley 23. Supernatural/So Blessed medley 24. We Are the Champions cover (with live band) 01. (Encore) Oh Santa/All I Want for Christmas Medleys can sound choppy and bad but they can also be arranged for a seamless transition. Maybe she can get the guy who mixed The Beatles Love for Cirque du Soleil to mix her medleys and Julie Taylor can do visuals for the big screens. (Tuesday 19 August 2014; 21:39)

Mariah's wedding ring (46,136) by LC from USA Also, I know that everybody has been questioning why Mariah doesn't wear her wedding/engagement ring anymore and only her butterfly ring. First of all, Mariah has been keeping her wedding ring on no matter what. It's only her engagement ring that has gone missing. But this isn't recent. If you look at her pictures, she's been wearing only her wedding ring/butterfly ring as early as February during the promotion of You're Mine. But if we try to think even deeper, did you notice that Mariah always wore her butterfly ring on her right hand, while keeping her left hand reserved for her wedding/engagement rings? But, what happened to her right arm/hand last year? Nerve damage. Which is why she always wears a glove there, on that hand. Maybe because the butterfly is her signature, she just can't get rid of it and decided that since she can't wear a ring on her right hand (maybe it still hurts, I don't know), she would just replace her engagement ring with the butterfly ring. But she has still kept her wedding ring on, no matter what. Again, that's just my two cents. Does anyone else think the same? (Tuesday 19 August 2014; 18:06)

LC / skip (46,135) by Bill from the UK LC, there was such a backlash when Nick mentioned Kim Kardashian that it could be logical that he realised this isn't how a husband should conduct himself and therefore removed his social media accounts and toned down his interviews. Entirely plausible and what I hope has happened as I would be heartbroken for Mariah and her children if they split up. Skip, I completely agree. She has done some great remixes on Island/Def Jam and it'd be a treat to have an album released to compliment The Remixes which Sony put out. (Tuesday 19 August 2014; 18:03)

Nikki / Mariah and Nick again (46,134) by LC from USA Thanks Nikki. I really was just trying to think it through. I think it's obvious that Mariah doesn't like that Nick is so outspoken. Even before all these rumors of divorce, she'd been saying that she thinks Nick talks too much. Then when asked about it, she'd play it off like she didn't care. She'd say things like "it's not like I'm really bothered or anything, he can do what he wants", when we all knew she wanted to be more private. What if she has given Nick some kind of ultimatum, like if he can't shut up, there will be a divorce. Because I remember when he was on Power 106 a couple of months ago, he said to the host, "If my marriage doesn't work out, it'll be because of the things I've said on this show." So maybe, by avoiding questions about his love life, which he has never ever done before, he's trying to prove to Mariah that he can and will be more private. But that's just my two cents. (Tuesday 19 August 2014; 17:53)

Separtaion (46,133) by G.G. from USA I'm starting to think the rumors are true. Even VH1 is reporting that Mariah and Nick will announce their split soon. (Tuesday 19 August 2014; 15:32)

Re-release? (46,132) by Otti from Belgium I think it's the rarest era ever, since I can remember. But then she is touring Asia with this album. What means she did not give up on this project lately. So why not, when she got everything on point, re-release this album with a few new tracks and remixes? And promoted like it's all new. With interviews, talkshows, performances. Maybe with a new coverart for the album. And tell us her story, so people and her fans understand what went wrong behind the scene. It's Mariah, the voice, the talent, the beauty. She got everything to stay relevant. Many singers out there have the sexiness but lack of talent. (Tuesday 19 August 2014; 15:25)
