YDKWTD (49,374) by Jon from Netherlands Someone posted this on youtube. Scarce resources (from this era) but a good job putting a video together. The song is a gem. It makes me think how Rainbow was made just so she could release Heartbreaker. That's how good that song is and I feel the same about YDKWTD. The song deserved a great video with Mariah playing a confident, emancipated woman with a great party feel to it. Visually I imagine something like Breakdown. I could see something really epic about this because the lyrics are so confident. Her acting could be like in Shake It Off but more energetic. Releasing that horrible song [...] has a single and messing with different possible second singles when they could have just released this is a really bad sign. If Mariah really believed [...] could have any sort of success in today's radio world she lost touch with what people are listening to (and that's something she always had in her favour). Anyway didn't want to be negative, it's done now. Just wanted to celebrate this wonderful song. (Thursday 22 January 2015; 22:55)

Abraham (49,373) by Dove from USA I think this is the version of Nobody's Supposed To Be Here you're talking about. When I was listening to the studio version, in my mind I could hear Mariah singing it in her '98 raspy voice. The way she sounded when she sang If Only You Knew/Somewhere Over the Rainbow. I would like to hear Mariah sing more up tempo dance tracks. In this video, Deborah Cox wasn't doing any choreographed dance movements, but her body was open and loose and it still looked good.

Found the rare photo (49,372) by Marissa from USA Hey ksquarred. Here is the link to the picture. (Thursday 22 January 2015; 21:32)

Mariah on tv-show (49,371) by NHYTG from nyc Tonight Mariah's Las Vegas shows were an item on a Dutch entertainment show called RTL Boulevard. Unfortunately the host was kind of disrespectful about Mariah. Again it was clear how many people here in the Netherlands look at Mariah these days. (Thursday 22 January 2015; 21:20)

[...] (49,370) by ksquarred from paris Hello guys. Someone posted on the board a rare picture of MC in NYC before she released her first album. She can be seen drinking milkshakes if I remember correctly, with two girl friends, including her former roommate (the one with the short blond hair). I've been searching through the board but there are too many messages and I can't find it anymore. I would like to make a sweatshirt with that pic. Does anyone have it? Thank you in advance.

New sound (49,369) by Dove from USA It would also be exciting if MC worked with people she's never worked with before and surprised everyone with a new sound. (Thursday 22 January 2015; 18:46)

Missy Elliot (49,368) by B from USA I would love for Mariah and Missy to write together again. Babydoll is one of my favorite songs and it's obviously one of Mariah's too. She named her publishing company Beyond Idolization, lol. I would also love for Mariah to work with Deborah Cox, Babyface, and Toni Braxton. I hope Mariah leaves JD and Cox in 2014. Mariah needs new producers and collaborators that can update her sound. She doesn't need to do something radical, she just needs to update her sound. I also think she needs to embrace EDM. I want her to work with Calvin Harris on an uptempo banger that showcases her voice a la Emotions. I like the idea of a duets album but not at this time, she's still too relevant for that and it won't do her any favors. (Thursday 22 January 2015; 15:36)

It's Like That you all (49,367) by enwar00 from usa Can you believe it's been 10 whole years since this song first debuted? I still remember first hearing it on the radio, then first hearing it at the club, there was such a buzz and excitement around it, it just seemed right. I feel like it's somewhat forgotten because of what exploded after it, but I love it, especially with the video, and always remember the feeling that this is what kicked started that massive Mimi year. For you #5 theorists out there, I hope you're right, that would be fun. (Thursday 22 January 2015; 15:13)

Mariah and Missy Elliot collaboration (49,366) by Ethan from United States It'd be great to see/hear their work again. It's been magic since Babydoll and Heartbreaker (the remix). I think it'll be a hit since Missy has been MIA for a while. I hope that there will be a song on the updated #1s CD with them two. (Thursday 22 January 2015; 9:42)

Camron raps about MC (49,365) by Lee TS from USA Came across this blog through YouTube and it has the rundown of their friendship. So basically Camron imitated they were lovers. Sigh, why would he do that? Oh dear. (Thursday 22 January 2015; 6:04)

Ethan and Isabelle (49,364) by Dove from USA I was just making that duets list for fun. The #1's with new music is enough for now. (Thursday 22 January 2015; 0:20)

Ethan / Vogue (49,363) by G.G. from USA I agree with you. Like it or not, we live in a very visual time. Mariah needs an A list stylist, great hair, make-up and clothes at all times. Also a new, innovative choreographer for the Vegas shows. High budget videos and stage performances. Nothing that looks cheap. Please God, I hope she doesn't lay down on a piano or a chaise lounge anymore or have any "diva moments" where a stylist comes out to touch up her makeup/hair. Those "moments" got old a long time ago. It's time to reenergize and gain some positive momentum. (Thursday 22 January 2015; 0:10)

Chris (49,362) by Dove from USA I'm probably just being overly sensitive. In my first post to you, it does seem like I'm attacking you, and I'm sorry about that. Most of the time I don't let things get to me but sometimes they still do. I can't honestly say that I've never been rude to anyone on here so it's totally okay. I'm sorry, too, for attacking you.

#1 CD (49,361) by Ethan from United States I'm surprised that the re-recordings/duets idea generated such a strong discussion when I brought it up. I definitely don't think it's happening. I was just kidding at that time. I'll be surprised in a good way if it happens. All I hope is this CD will include 7 new songs, which will equal to 25 songs to celebrate her 25th anniversary. That's all. The Colosseum is very intimate. It's a theater so no matter where you sit, it's a great view. My seats are at Orchestra 3, row JJ (it's like row 9 or 10) so it's great nonetheless. In my opinion, I don't really like the first 3-5 rows because it will hurt my neck from looking up the entire time. (Wednesday 21 January 2015; 23:57)

Mariah's Vogue article (49,359) by Ethan from United States Did anyone see this article on Vogue? It's time for Mariah to be very glamorous and stylish around. When TEOM came out, her ensembles were chic and she had Andre Leon Talley around here. I remember seeing her images on magazine's best dress lists and stuff. Remember that one outfit she wore to an event with LA Reid and met Tommy and his wife there? And then the next day she arrived in Paris in this nude color dress and both made the best dress list that week. Her videos from TEOM were classics as well. Bring back Bret Ratner. Anyway, looking from her Ellen's appearance, I hope she will become a style icon and graces magazine's covers again, especially American Vogue. If whatever her name West made it, so could Mariah.

Duets and covers album (49,358) by Isabelle from USA I don't like that most of you all are suggesting that Mariah should be doing a duets album of previous recorded material or that she should release a compilation of the duets she recorded in her career. I think that's just a waste of time, no one was really here for the two remixes on MIAMTEC/Angels Advocate singles nor they the Ballads compilation album. I don't think Mariah should be thinking about creating any type of duets covers album anytime soon, if she does I would like her to have original material for that album, so people and critics won't be just comparing and then criticizing her version of the song.

Ms. Shelly (49,357) by Chris from United States Okay, I'm going to put a halt on this. After reading your last post, I've come to realize that maybe I was quite offensive to you, or anyone that puts the lists out there. If I offended you, then I apologize. No excuse, but I didn't even realize it was offensive as I was tying it. In fact, judging by your posts, I can tell you are a kind natured, sweet woman, and I would never want you to feel like I put you down, or am bullying you. That's not my style. I would never want anyone to feel like they can't post on here freely, because I've been there with this site. After a while, it becomes easier to dish it back. (Wednesday 21 January 2015; 23:13)

Abraham (49,356) by Dove from USA Thank you Abraham. I think I have heard Nobody's Supposed To Be Here by Deborah Cox but I'm thinking it was before 2003. I remember hearing it at a car wash in Junior High, if it's the one I'm thinking. I'll look it up when I get home. I've discovered a lot of good music through you guys. Somebody mentioned Sam Smith a while ago and I liked him, the Diana Ross songs someone mentioned I liked. (Wednesday 21 January 2015; 23:11)

Danny (49,355) by Luke from United Kingdom I'm not overly keen on Vision Of Love either. However, I think at the time it was released there was nothing else like it which is why it was such a big hit. I prefer Vanishing much more. Her BET performance of VOL in 2005 was amazing though and is probably the version I listen to the most. (Wednesday 21 January 2015; 22:10)

More on that (49,354) by Dove from USA I just think that if you have enough of a problem to say something, the polite thing is to address the offender so that they can defend themselves. It's rude to make snide remarks and it can make people feel bad. When people cut me down for things I share, it takes the joy out of coming here, and sometimes it makes me feel ashamed, like I'm saying something bad. I expect sarcastic comments on comment sections of blogs and articles but not on a fansite. (Wednesday 21 January 2015; 22:06)

Shelly (49,353) by Chris from United States You can take that message any way you'd like. I was just naming a song I'd love for her to cover. Are you the only one rattling off twenty songs for her to sing, as if she were JLo? I really don't know, and I don't care. Lastly, did you ever realize that maybe I didn't read your list. No, because you were to busy trying to tell me how to navigate this site. I don't need your advice. Thanks. (Wednesday 21 January 2015; 21:28)

Shelly (49,352) by Abraham from USA I happen to like the long lists of songs/dream covers fans post. I like to see what other artists and songs they like. Shelly keep posting as much as you want. I for one enjoy reading them. I've already posted my dream cover list. But now I've been listening to "Nobody's supposed to be here" by Deborah Cox. But the remix. It's from a dance cd called "Fired up" released back in 2003. I've always wished that Mariah had did some type of dance or techno type song. So when you have a chance, give it a listen please. (Wednesday 21 January 2015; 21:18)

(49,348) by Chris (49,351) by Dove from USA That was obviously directed at me so you should have directed it to me instead of talking about me like I don't visit this message board every day. Making a list of songs I'd like to hear her sing doesn't mean I think she's "basic". I've been a fan for a long time and have been collecting songs I'd like to hear her sing the whole time. I'm not throwing anything at her, it's not likely that she'll come on here, see my long list, and record every song on it. She hardly does covers as it is. It's a fantasy wish list that I'm sharing with other fans. I like reading lists made by other fans, sometimes I've never heard some of the songs people list, I look them up and try to imagine MC singing them. Some people don't like lists and that's fine. You can tell by glancing if it's a list or not so just don't read it. It's not like I post them every day. Your abrasive attitude is not attractive. (Wednesday 21 January 2015; 20:13)

Little boy (49,350) by Chris from United States I know plenty of us are so excited to get rid of Nick, and rightfully so. But, this last article about him encouraging the residency tells me he will forever make sure that their names are tied together. Maybe he did encourage her to do this residency, but I'm sure he had motives. He was probably trying to line his pockets up some more somehow. It's funny, because he still needs her, but she's going to be just fine. I love how he filed for divorce right after he seen her career was taking major blows. Guess he didn't need her anymore, until he seen her getting her shit together, and miraculously he's back. He's going to go see her during her residency? Why, so he can hopefully throw her off her game? Just wanted to throw in my two cents on this little creep. I hope not to waste anymore posts on "it" again. (Wednesday 21 January 2015; 19:35)

Vision of love (49,349) by Danny Cedar from uk Is it just me or does anyone else here think Vision Of Love isn't Mariah's best song? I've never really liked it or the arrangement and it's not vocally anywhere near one of her best. Obviously it's iconic as it's her debut song and sound and is well written but I just don't get the popularity. Also I wouldn't choose it at all for a wedding or love song. It's very personal to Mariah and a sort of introduction to her journey to where she began in 1990. (Wednesday 21 January 2015; 19:24)
