WBT/Lenny mashup, Edward (47,904) by Stacey from USA Oh dahling, you know what I'm going to ask you for, right? I'd love to exercise to it as well. That was awesome. The two songs fit so well together, in the same key, etc. It didn't sound cheaply made. (Wednesday 12 November 2014; 19:59)

I'm sorry but (47,903) by Brad Catoe from United States If Mariah was on time for your concert that was an anomaly. Hahaha. I love Mariah to death, but it's usual to keep people waiting. Also I've been going to her tours since Rainbow so I can attest. I think for The Adventures Of Mimi she was 2.5 hours late at MSG. Also, really late for Charmbracelet as well. I'm sure most people will agree she's always late. BTW I know we don't mind because we're lambs, but trust me when she did those sold out shows in MSG, people were pissed. I was in the pit and people were leaving. Anywho though, I'd wait forever haha. (Wednesday 12 November 2014; 18:58)

Concert tips and amazed by how good Mariah's voice is (47,902) by John john from UK Every concert I've been to with Mariah, she's never been late. Infact she was early on the last concert I saw. Only by 3 minutes. Lol. I've just seen about 50 clips of the Sydney show on YouTube. Wow, just simply amazing. Totally blown away by how at ease she is with her voice and relaxed on stage. Less diva more real. I really hope she comes to Europe. I will try and see as many shows as possible. Loving the new outfits too, love the curves. Glad to see she isn't holding to pressure and drop a size or too. Like most other popstars the strive to be a zero or 2. (Wednesday 12 November 2014; 16:29)

Concert tips (47,901) by Paul from Usa So can anybody who's attended a MC show help me with some tips? I've always heard Mariah is exceptionally fashionably late. Is this true? How many hours late is she? Does anybody know if her Christmas shows will have opening acts? Thanks again. So stoked. (Wednesday 12 November 2014; 13:29)

Alexys / mashup (47,900) by Edward from USA Alexys, whoever put together that Mariah-Lenny Kravitz mashup did an amazing job. It took WBT to a different level. Thanks for posting it. I created an mp3 right away. I'm blasting it at the gym. (Wednesday 12 November 2014; 12:35)

Pop music / Glitter (47,899) by Lee TS from USA I hope Mariah would explore into doing some fun poppy music like working with Max Martin. Love it or hate it but he's created some incredible catchy tunes. Never been a huge Taylor Swift fan but I first heard her new track Blank Space in the car and was instantly addicted. But then became Obsessed when I saw the video directed by Joseph Kahn. Where was this creativity for #Beautiful? I wish Mariah never works with that Indrani woman again, YME was a complete and total mess. All videos from here on out should be directed by her Aries brother Brett Ratner, only he brings out the best in her. I was watching Don't Stop video the other night for the nostalgia and it sounds so fresh. Criminally underrated. (Wednesday 12 November 2014; 10:09)

Mariah/Lenny mash up (47,898) by Alexys from USA This is amazing. I saw it on facebook today. I've never seen it, so I thought I'd share if you haven't either. (Wednesday 12 November 2014; 5:18)

Paul / AIWFCIY (47,897) by Travon..SweetSweetFantasy from USA Congratulations Paul. [...] AIWFCIY is making its chart run on iTunes at #195, iTunes RSS feed. (Wednesday 12 November 2014; 2:34)

NYC Christmas Concert (47,896) by Paul from Usa Guess who just booked his ticket to see Mariah perform on December 15th, orchestra front and center? This guy. This will be my first time ever seeing her live and and in concert and I'm beyond excited. (Wednesday 12 November 2014; 1:10)

Nathaniel on Australian radio about touring with Mariah (47,895) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End His 5 minutes part comes on at the tail end of the 11/11 podcast from today. Unlike a certain Buffon, Nathaniel was very sweet and professional when he spoke of his experience. I hope he gets more international exposure. His tone is very pleasing to the ear. Who knew he could hold his own so effortlessly on a song as sacred as OSD? I don't know if even Trey has ever attempted that. Mariah even sang her parts a lot differently than I've ever heard, probably because she was responding to Nathaniel's foreign musicality. I really want them to do a proper duet in the studio. Hot tamale. (Tuesday 11 November 2014; 21:09)

Miss you most at Christmas time (47,894) by Ty from USA Is this song not the most beautiful and heartbreaking song ever? I think [...] can sing it live. Fingers crossed for this song to finally be sung live. (Tuesday 11 November 2014; 17:18)

Re. Hero performance (47,893) by Joe from United Kingdom Not to sound negative as Mariah's voice is now in much better shape and sounding great, but she usually lips the same lines in Hero which are the "way" and then "comes along" then "survive" and "hope is gone" in exactly that order. You can hear the tone switch from 2014 Mariah to a lowered version of the original studio version. Since someone asked. I'm sure she could hit those notes if she wanted to as she'll usually hit the exact same note two songs later, but I'm just happy that what is live is sounding good. (Tuesday 11 November 2014; 15:15)

Hero (below) not "lipped" (47,892) by Spir Ja from USA That was great. No that was all live, the transition phrases right before way were knocked out and improved, and that is a hard transition, but the money note she hit and held. Her voice is totally intact but it is, on the edges, like a bit of grated glass. It's from damage way back I think nodes. God bless Rye's professionalism and heart that she's sharing out there, live for all to see, I'm sure it's horrific for her to experience the playbacks at times, she's brave and I hope she talks about it someday. (Tuesday 11 November 2014; 10:13)

It's been a year (47,891) by Manny from U.S. A year ago exactly Mariah shared with us "The Art of Letting go". Even though some parts of the lyrics are not so strong, I can relate to the concept. I love the simplicity of the song; her voice and the accompaniment. She released it when I thought I was getting back with an ex. Sadly, it was not meant to be. The part "And they watch as you're falling down" still gets to me. I also enjoyed the Jimmy Fallon surprise for her fans. It's one of my favorite videos of Mariah interacting with her fans. I hope I can meet her "someday". (Tuesday 11 November 2014; 10:12)

Todd / two concerts (47,890) by Norman from USA Hey Todd. Both concerts? Wow. How lucky are you? That's awesome. Congrats. And thank you so much for sharing a little bit of your experience with us. It really must've been amazing live. Just wow. Thanks again. I'm just so glad our girl keeps getting better and better with each concert. I can't wait for what she does next. Cheers to everyone. Hope everyone's doing great. (Tuesday 11 November 2014; 7:02)

Re: "Across 110th Street" (47,889) by Billy from Greece Something more regarding its inclusion in the tour: according to the Same Same article reviewing one of the Australian "Chanteuse" shows, they write this: "Across 110th Street is a movie of an African-American and Italian-American police duo that grapeoplees with important themes of power and race relations. 110th street being the boundary for Harlem. If you've been to New York, 110th Street is a long way from One World Trade Centre. It's been characterised as being part of the genre of Blaxploitation." The Womack song is an anthem about the struggle to get out of the ghetto. Maybe there is a concept behind using it to open the show, in relation to the "chanteuse" persona MC supports in the show (gowns, jazz covers, sitting on the piano). Great song in any case.

Mariah the boss (47,888) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Mariah does best when she trusts her own inner voice and keeps her faith as a compass when things get rocky. She didn't sell her songs during those early days before Warner and Sony were fighting to sign her, even though she was a dirty poor, hungry and desperate 18 year old girl. Why? Because she knew her worth as a singer songwriter and was confident enough, thank God, to trust that her vision of love would come to be. Going with her passion has paid off more often than not. M's worst decisions seem to come about from letting outside pressures into her head. That's why her being without a manager right now is a good thing IMO. It's going to force her to figure out what she really wants out of her life at this point, streamline it if you will. The longer MC is without a manager, the better. Being the boss of her own enterprises will do her a world of good as well as those who work for her. Them being directly accountable to her, even for a short period of time is always going to be a good thing. Keeps everybody on their toes. Mimi deserves to be happy with her children, live a full, passionate and long life with a man who loves her for the real person she is, and dembabies too, as genuinely as she will love them. Mariah's never going to give up making music, fingers crossed, and she doesn't owe me, or anyone else for that matter, anything. She's already given the public her all for close to 25 years. Now is the perfect time for us lambs to pay her back with our loyalty. (Monday 10 November 2014; 14:55)

Reuben, Across 110th street (47,886) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End It's Bobby Womack's signature song. He passed away just this June and so I guess Mariah's paying him tribute in that way. Remember: "If you think you're lonely now" (wait until tonight, girl) from WBT? That was his other song she played homage to along with Babyface's: "I only think of you" (on two occasions). R I.P. You are missed. (Monday 10 November 2014; 10:51)

Pauly and Monks (47,885) by Dennis from Miami, FL That's ridiculous. As if she needs their advice. (Monday 10 November 2014; 8:08)

Walter (47,884) by Dennis from Miami, FL The essence of Walter is in this video. In the end he says in Russian "Don't show it to my wife." (Monday 10 November 2014; 7:51)

Across 110th Street (47,883) by Reuben Walton from United States What is it? I can't figure out if it's a song she wrote or an intro or what. The concert footage I've seen doesn't really make it clear. Anyone wanna help out a confused lamb? (Monday 10 November 2014; 4:17)

One Sweet Day (47,882) by Ty from USA I really liked Mariah and Nathanel's version. It was live and full of emotion. No she didn't sound perfect but she gave us enough of what we needed. Cute moment. (Monday 10 November 2014; 3:49)

Re: Jay (47,881) by nikki from usa Have you noticed this weird spell Mariah casts on the males she encounters? Mottola was obsessed with her even after marrying her. Then, set on ending her career rather than seeing her soar without him. Walter pops up every other Christmas and can't seem to stop talking about her. Eminem has a few encounters with her and can't shut up for a decade. Nick was openly crushing on her for years on tv before meeting her and continued until they were married. Luis Miguel simply met her, made her his girlfriend, and jetted around the world with her for 2 years. Damizza can't completely let her go. Far more amusing, The Rock stopped an interviewer in mid-sentence to hug her and chat her up. Heck, who am I kidding? I met Mariah 12 years ago and I can't stop talking about her. Mariah must be some weird humanoid drug. It takes a 12 step program to get over her. (Monday 10 November 2014; 2:33)

Mariah in Melbourne (47,880) by Todd from Melbourne, Australia I just had a weekend with not one, but two Mariah concerts. She was absolutely phenomenal. The videos that I have recorded and seen online don't do her justice. The Friday night show in Melbourne was definitely the better of the two, the Yarra Valley one was too short, felt bad for the audience because I knew what they were missing out on. I do wish she'd sung a bit of AIWFCIY, but hell we got One Sweet Day instead. Friday was definitely the best concert I've seen, even better than the January 2013 Australian shows. Oh, and as a side note, I can't get get Across 110th Street out of my head now. (Monday 10 November 2014; 0:49)

We need someone to control us, don't be an [censored] (47,879) by nikki from usa Walter, I wish you'd control your mouth and move on already. Especially, after the recent article where you chastise Mariah for reinventing "Want" a couple of times over 20 years, for new generations and genres no less. Then, actually assume she's trying to surpass the original, but now you've reinvented the song? For real? Sour grapes indeed. Hypocrisy to boot. Lambs, do correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I know there's only the R&B/hip-pop version with a cartoon video, and the Justin B. duet for the emerging EDM crowd. Both are targeting different audiences. It's a smart business move and refreshing to change things up once in a blue moon. I agree with Jay and Baby. Walter hasn't known Mariah for 17 years. Fool, please, if you cared you wouldn't trash her in public by acting like you know what's up with her. You couldn't control her and clearly she didn't need you to. Why is he still talking about her? Move on to Celine Dion. She does all the things you want Mariah to do. (Monday 10 November 2014; 0:12)
