Baby / Emotions (47,851) by Bill from the UK Thank you for posting the Emotions clip from Adelaide Baby, I agree it was an absolutely fantastic performance and the best rendition of that great tune in a long time. I can't stop watching it. Like you I am praying and praying that Mariah brings her tour to Europe. We miss her so much, she hasn't been here for years now. I loved how Mariah really went for the "when you're looking into my eyes" line, as even in the 90s she always toned that line down. (Saturday 8 November 2014; 10:20)

Underneath the Merry Christmas III (47,850) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines I know, the title's terrible, but I guess the fast approaching holiday season has just got me really hoping for a third Christmas album from Mariah. I'm wishing for one that's more jazz-oriented and traditional sounding, and that even upbeat songs would be backed up by raw, organic instrumentation, like a big band or something. I'd also really like her to cover the following classics for her next holiday album, among her new original tracks of course: Merry Christmas Darling (like a jazzy version of this) Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas (this would just be heaven) Last Christmas (George Michael part 2) My Grown-up Christmas List (I'd love for her to really soar in the end) Sleigh Ride (like an Oh Santa part 2) The Christmas Song (she's so gonna outdo Christina's version of this) Baby It's Cold Outside (with Michael Buble or George Michael) I'll Be Home For Christmas (perfect fit for her) Winter Wonderland (a little vocally limiting, but she'll find a way to belt or whistle) White Christmas (she can never go wrong with this one) Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow (another festive cut) Happy Christmas (the quirky wildcard choice) Jingle Bell Rock (this will sound lovely on her) Santa Baby (this will suit her current vocal tone flawlessly) Oh well, a lamb can dream.

Abraham (47,849) by LC from USA I totally agree with you and have thought about this for a while now. It just doesn't make sense to me that for the deluxe editions of the album, Mariah would put remixes from the unused Angels Advocate album, and the prerecorded version of America The Beautiful that she used on the 4th of July show, when we know she has so much more material. Three years recording and writing and she only came up with 14 new songs? I doubt it. I have said it before. Why would she mention Kick Rocks? Or play that unheard song on Barbara Walters? She has more songs, better songs. I am very hopeful that Mariah will release a new album next year and attempt her long awaited comeback. (Saturday 8 November 2014; 2:14)

The elusive chanteuse completly and totally slayes Emotions live Adelaide (47,848) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End This is Mariah's best rendition of Emotions this side of heaven in a long time. When will insert your lesser faves? Run and tell that. I am 100% done with humouring anyone who dares call themselves any variety of lamb who dismisses a moment like this but goes on tangents for days on end over 00:16 second clips of questionable origin. I'm gonna keep relying on my lying eyes and so so def ears. "Miss Mod" better get her act all the way together and bring it to Europe next year. Or, I will hunt her down. That's all I know.

One sweet day (47,847) by Lee TS from USA (Friday 7 November 2014; 22:54)

Alexis (47,846) by Abraham from USA The little voice inside my head told me, lol. It's pretty evident by now what's to come. An album will be released next year with even better songs than "MIAM". Mariah saved her best material for the next. Why would she put her best work on an album she wasn't going to promote? Not to be rude but obviously by the likes on my post, others seem to think the same and agree. And yes, now that Mariah is singing live again it's something less to worry about. She can sing her singles live wherever she goes to promote. I don't care what anyone says. Her voice has improved a lot and sounds strong. Next year will be her year. (Friday 7 November 2014; 21:38)

Zootopia 2003 (47,845) by sam from usa Hi MCA. Does anyone have video of Mariah and Busta at Zootopia 2003? Plenty of pictures around but I would love to see the video. (Friday 7 November 2014; 21:11)

I'll Be There / MSG (47,844) by Edward from USA I consider this to be the best rendition of "I'll Be There" Mariah's ever sung. Mariah and Wanya is pure magic. Wanya brought so much soul to it that I forgot about Trey's high notes, no pun intented. I replaced the Unplugged version with an mp3 of this one. (Friday 7 November 2014; 17:04)

E=MC2 (47,843) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Does anyone here have the E=MC2 deluxe edition? The one that came with the iPod skin and fold out poster? If so what image did the fold out poster have from the shoot? Also anyone knows whether the Island DefJam box set of Mariah contains the Platinum or regular Emancipation CD? Apparently it shows the platinum edition on the main box but inside it is the regular edition. Let me know. (Friday 7 November 2014; 15:38)

Mariah (47,842) by B from USA Mariah is touring to strengthen her voice and is obviously working out. Why else would she do these things besides to look and sound good. She's reconnecting with her fan base and gearing up to release a new album or rerelease MIAMTEC. She's still a force to be reckoned with. Only Taylor Swift has went platinum this year. MIAM sold 100,000 with no promo. #Beautiful has sold more copies than any album released this year. The ARIA needs to change their methods for awarding gold, platinum, and multiplatinum certifications because selling 100,000 nowadays is the same thing as going gold, especially when the best selling album of the year barely sold two million copies/units. Mariah did only one interview and concert on The Today Show and during her interview she basically said she was having problems with Nick. That interview and the lyrics to songs like Thirsty and Camouflage made it clear Mariah was about to divorce Nick. (Friday 7 November 2014; 15:30)

Alexis (47,840) by B from USA Was it necessary for you to attack him? Asking for sources, when his post is what he thinks is going to happen? Have you not been watching the videos that lambs are posting of Mariah singing live and slaying? I think the same thing. She's strengthening her voice, exercising her voice and body, getting in fighting shape and she'll be ready to promote her next record like her life depends on it. She's done it before and to think she can't do it again is ignorant. (Friday 7 November 2014; 14:32)

Abraham / pic (47,839) by Edward from USA Abraham, thanks for the compliment. I knew you'd love it. Don't get use to it though. When I get my monthly suppley of the Butterfly drink, I'll be back to my old self. (Friday 7 November 2014; 14:03)

Allotment (47,837) by Gilles from Malta Hi. Allotment means that they did sell more tickets that there are seats. It is scary. I hope they will find a way to make it for people who bought tickets. (Friday 7 November 2014; 9:14)

Edward (47,836) by Abraham from USA Love the pic. So nice of you to show your true self. You're very handsome. (Friday 7 November 2014; 6:40)

Stop it (47,835) by Alexis Morell Carrington Colby Dexter Rowan from USA Abraham, really? A new album next summer? Another TEOM? She's singing live so all problems are solved. I'm not even being sarcastic when I ask, "Where are you getting this from?" (Friday 7 November 2014; 2:40)

Symbol (47,834) by Travon..SweetSweetFantasy from USA Clicked wrong face symbol. Here it is. (Thursday 6 November 2014; 22:06)

Edward / allotment (47,833) by Travon..SweetSweetFantasy from USA Thank you for clarifying. (Thursday 6 November 2014; 22:04)

Travon / allotment (47,832) by Edward from USA Travon, the allotment statement on MariahCarey.com just means that tickets reserved for the members of Honey B Fly have been exhausted. Checking from other ticket sellers, there still seems to be tickets available. I don't think she'll have much problem selling out the four shows, if she hasn't already. Beacon Theater is not that big of a venue, just 2,894 capacity, very intimate. She won't need big screens. (Thursday 6 November 2014; 20:46)

Small correction (47,831) by Lee TS from USA Taylor Swift has gone platinum with her little latest effort "1989" in just one week, selling almost like 1.3 million. So yeah, someone has gone platinum in 2014. (Thursday 6 November 2014; 20:37)

Beacon Theatre (47,830) by Travon..SweetSweetFantasy from USA I pretty sure I know what allotment sold means. I still need clarification. On mariahcarey.com/tour, all 4 shows say allotment sold. Does that mean all shows sold out? (Thursday 6 November 2014; 19:13)

Edward (47,829) by Travon..SweetSweetFantasy from USA I reread your message and all I did was repeat it. My apologies. However I don't think fans have left. They just didn't know. Not every fan keeps updated on a daily basis. (Thursday 6 November 2014; 18:53)

Edward (47,828) by Travon..SweetSweetFantasy from USA Many of Mariah Carey's fanbase didn't leave. I could reference many Tv show host that asked the audiences if they knew of the album release. Wendy Williams and The Talk are a few. It was unanimous from the beginning that all of them said no. If Mariah doesn't promote or the label doesn't promote, the people won't respond. I remember during the release of MOAIA and MCIIY, Mariah had radio banners on her website for fans to put on social media because people were not getting the word of new music on radio from her. Honestly I feel for most lambs on her direction. Good news for all of us is Mariah still sells with proper promotion. All she needs is a new label. I am very confident she will not sign back with Def Jam. I wouldn't. Given the current state of music industry Mariah has still sold 28,000,000 albums and 15,000,000 singles worldwide with Island plus Def Jam (excluding her back catalouge) for 6 albums. (Thursday 6 November 2014; 18:49)

Carol / support (47,827) by Edward from USA Carol, fans from the US bought MIAMTEC, some even bought multiple copies. Has it occurred to you that her fanbase in the US has shrunk considerably? Is it viable to tour the US with such low album sales? No, it isn't. Does it mean that her remaining fans didn't support her? No, it doesn't. We supported her, but we cannot be responsible for those fans who jumped ship and are not longer her fans. Those who abandoned her are not the ones wanting to see her in concert, believe me. Another thing, when it comes to making an artist/album successful, fans are just a small part of the equation. If the album is not connecting with the GP or promoted, for whatever reason, it is a wrap. It could be the best album in the world, but it takes more than great music to move copies. Most people don't even know Mariah released a new album, go figure. (Thursday 6 November 2014; 16:17)

After the tour (47,826) by Abraham from USA I was wondering what Mariah's plans are after the tour? Is she going to rest and get ready for the next album? I think she'll release it sometime in the summer. Or maybe sooner. Any thoughts? I know she has some good music on the way. I think the album will be another "TEOM". Now that she's singing live again, that's one less problem out of the way. Next will be to release good singles. One thing I'm looking forward to Christmas is seeing Mariah on tv. (Thursday 6 November 2014; 4:57)

Mariah's hair (47,825) by Nathan from USA She has never worn wigs. She always uses those mermaid extensions for shows, but she's getting lazy and using that horrid wig lately. It looks awful and should be burned. (Thursday 6 November 2014; 4:07)
