Messageboard

Billy / Billboard (46,842) by Musti from UK I completely agree. I love those little mentions or, even better, full length articles. Like the ones Billboard have been increasingly putting on their website about Mariah's achievements over the years. She's their queen, and I get the impression that now that she has surpassed Elvis they want her to beat the Beatles too. Fingers crossed for the next album. (Friday 19 September 2014; 3:00)

RTD / HMMITTN (46,841) by Manny from U.S. I would love to hear Mariah sing either "Right to Dream" or "Help Me Make It Through The Night" live. The simplicity of the guitar and her voice makes it so raw. The cracks in her voice and tone along with the lyrics makes her sound so vulnerable. I can feel her pain in the songs. The first time I heard these songs, I had them on repeat. (Friday 19 September 2014; 2:50)

Emotions C&C Club Mix No. 1 (46,840) by Skip from United States In my Emotions anniversary celebration yesterday, I listened to some of the era's remixes, and I realized I had a couple questions about the C&C Club mixes of the title track, specifically the one entitled "Club Mix No. 1". I only have this mix on a vinyl and was wondering, does anyone know if it was released on a CD single anywhere? Is it the only remix to feature the additional lyrics towards the end ("Got me feelin' so good, you got me feelin' so nice, baby, you got me feelin' so good, baby")? And do we know if these lyrics were actually edited out of the original version? Considering how they are placed just before the whistle note section, it feels like maybe they were. I would love anybody's knowledge on this. Thanks. (Friday 19 September 2014; 2:00)

How many songs from MIAMTEC? (46,839) by Angelo from Italy Hey friends, counting every tour since 1993, I've noted that Mimi always choose 6 songs from the album associated to the tour, with the exeption of the Music Box (5) and the Rainbow (7 plus 2 interludes). So, with so many songs after 25 years and the weakness of the MIAMTEC sales (shame), how many songs will she choose, and which? I think 5 songs, here my thoughts: 1) Cry (she did this even in France this summer, she loves it) 2) #Beautiful (excellent single, you know) 3) Thirsty (she told us, inviting even that band from US ) 4) You don't know what to do (this song is a bomb live) 5) The art of letting go (the song from MIAMTEC era) So, what you think?

Speaking of favourite MC songs (46,837) by Kenny from Canada Rich Juzwiak from Gawker posted his ranking of MC's singles. (Thursday 18 September 2014; 22:06)

Edward (46,836) by Stephen from London, United Kingdom Thanks for the message. Wendy just isn't constructive. I see the appeal with her show, but it's not for me. I don't believe Wendy has any real opinion, she floats with popular opinion and seeks to take it a step further to grab attention for her show. Just compare the Wendy that appeared on radio to TV. There's a clear difference in her personality and demeanour. She disingenuous. (Thursday 18 September 2014; 21:50)

Elusive tour dates thus far (46,835) by enwar00 from usa As much as I want Mariah to tour the States again, I'm so happy for the fans and lambs of the land across the world, since she's been there less often. (Thursday 18 September 2014; 19:13)

My top 25 underrated Mariah songs (46,830) by KeShawn Taylor from United States Let me say first off this list is damn near impossible for me to compile but I'm going to do my best by just naming the first twenty five songs that come to mind and not any in particular order. I have so many top Mariah songs based on sound, genre, lyrics, theme, style, etc. that its unfair. However, I decided to stick to the underrated theme. But nonetheless: 1) Underneath the Stars 2) Breakdown 3) The Roof 4) Side Effects 5) Stay the Night 6) Mine Again 7) Fly Like a Bird 8) To Be Around You 9) Sent From Up Above 10) After Tonight 11) Faded 12) Dedicated 13) Make It Look Good 14) For The Record 15) Subtle Invitation 16) Lead The Way 17) Whenever You Call 18) Close My Eyes 19) Forever 20) Melt Away 21) Slipping Away 22) Now That I Know 23) When Christmas Comes 24) Inseparable 25) H.A.T.E.U.

Rolling Stone feature (46,829) by Billy from Greece There is a Rolling Stone feature on the 100 best singles of 1984 that has been circulating, and both (originals) "Bringin' on the Heartbreak" and "Didn't Mean to Turn You on" are included. In both tracks, Mariah's name comes up. Here's what the commentators wrote respectively, in addition to comments about the original versions: "Mariah Carey took it one step further in 2002 when she turned it into a full-on, symphonically orchestrated R&B song" and "Mariah Carey used the original instrumental bed for her 2001 version, which appeared on the soundtrack to her notorious quasi-biopic Glitter." Glad to see Mariah mentioned in such pieces. It shows that what she does/has done does matter indeed. (Thursday 18 September 2014; 10:33)

My 25 favorite Mariah tracks (46,828) by OGmattyICE from US I don't post on here very frequently but I thought I would like to share my favorites. This list is as in-order as I could possibly get it.

Dreamlover (video plays a key factor in this ranking) 2. Always Be My Baby 3. Emotions 4. Do You Think of Me 5. Can't Let Go 6. Joy To The World (Celebration Mix) 7.

Great start to the day (46,827) by pharaoh_shawn from New Zealand So glad to see Mariah is coming to New Zealand for the first time, last time I had to go over to Australia. I hope we give her a mean Maori welcoming like we did the king of pop Michael Jackson and of course when our Queen Elizabeth II and her children come over to visit.

There Goes My Heart (46,826) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Don't know what's gotten into me, but I have been listening a lot to Charmbracelet lately, which is the first Mariah album I've ever owned and listened to. I love a lot of tracks in it, including some of the bonus ones, especially Miss You and There Goes My Heart. I just love how the tropical island vibe immediately transports me to the beach wherever I may be. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is the only released Mariah track possessing this feel, right? She should do more of this. It would fit perfectly on any summer playlist or beach compilation. It reminds me of Janet Jackson's Spending Time With You. I also love how Mariah's so conflicted with her casual relationship and wants to take it to the next level but is being all shy about it. So sexy. The video for this could be a great sequel to the gorgeous Honey clip. Plus the ending lyrics are just perfect. Truly 7th heaven. (Thursday 18 September 2014; 3:24)

Stephen (46,825) by Edward from USA Stephen, I couldn't have said better, Wendy's just a hypocrite. Those crocodile tears a day after Whitney's death were so dishonest. Instead of talking about Mariah so viciously, she should keep an eye on her husband, her wigs, and her two ridiculous balloons. I understand the type of show she has, but sometimes she just goes over the top with her comments. (Wednesday 17 September 2014; 21:21)

Wendy Williams flip flopper (46,824) by Mirage_Nunez from America I thought I was the only person that had a certain distain for Wendy Williams way of "reporting" stories. My biggest issue with her is that she never bothers to have her facts straight and base all of her commentary off of hearsay. In other words she's a horrible gossip, I mean if you're gonna gossip at least be good at it. She reminds me of this exercise in school, when you tell one person in class a story in their ear and about time it gets all the way back around to the person who originally told it, it's a whole new story. That's how bad her "journalism" is and I use the word "journalism" very loosely. (Wednesday 17 September 2014; 21:10)

B / Adam (46,823) by Abraham from USA Thank you B, likewise. I've always enjoyed your posts as well. You always have nothing but nice things to say about Mariah. I'm also glad you love the album as much as I do. Adam you're right. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. But it's one thing to express an opinion on someone. But doing it in a rude, harsh and mean way is completely different and uncalled for. Someone of things Wendy said are true. But she could have said it in a more nice and respectable manner. Especially for someone who is a "so called" fan, or admires Mariah. She's always kicking Mariah when she's going through a difficult time. I stand by what I posted. Wendy is just mad and pressed that Mariah won't acknowledge her and come on her show. How can you say we are being mean and negative when Wendy was being that way to Mariah? Get over it. At the end of the end of the day, who do you love and side with the most? A music legend who has recorded and given the world timeless music or a tv talk host who gossips and trash talks? I for one find Edward's post funny. Many people have been questioning Wendy's gender since the first time she was seen. (Wednesday 17 September 2014; 20:52)

Re: ADAM (46,822) by MimiLamb from Germany I have a problem when people talk about the lambs in general like we all think and act alike. I never had a problem with JLo nor did I ever took part in the "rivalry" between the two. Nobody knows what really happened so why pretend we do know? Mariah herself said as well there is no rivalry. (Wednesday 17 September 2014; 20:52)

Edward (46,821) by Stephen from London, United Kingdom You're hilarious. I guess some people don't get your humour. I do agree re Wendy though. She's such a hypocrite. The way she spoke about and to Whitney in the years before her death was nothing short of disgusting. She then had the cheek to cry on her show when she died. She's a vile gossip monger, who doesn't have a real opinion on anything. She changes her opinion with the flow of wind. Whenever Mariah has been down in her career, she's tried kicking her. I say tried, because something as distasteful and unimportant as Wendy could never "kick" Mariah. She's irrelevant. Her opinions defy logic IMO. Regarding your drag queen comment, I've seen dogs dressed as bitches in drag with more going for them in the looks department. (Wednesday 17 September 2014; 19:20)

Wendy Williams on MC (46,820) by ADAM from USA Wendy Williams was born a female. Some lambs on here are just being mean spirited and spreading the negative word that she has been called "tranny" and has male-like features which are the worst things you could say about any female. Personally, I agreed with Wendy's opinion about Mariah and feel it was done in good spirit. She has been a long time supporter of MC in her radio and now TV days and has never wavered from her support for her whether it was in the Glitter era or even throughout the popularity of JLo in her hey day. She has always stated that MC and JLo are 2 different talents and can both exist which I couldn't agree with more. This rivalry between the 2 divas is really within the lambs and Mariah's delusion that JLo was intentionally apart of the plot to unravel the Glitter project. Anyways, my main point is that just because you may not like someone else telling the objective truth about Mariah's career and status among her fans doesn't make it ok to demean Wendy's appearance, grow up and keep your mean thoughts to yourself. It's America we are all entitled to our own opinion and to share it with others in a peaceful, non violent way. (Wednesday 17 September 2014; 17:21)

Butterfly (46,819) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines I was 14 when I first listened to Butterfly in its entirety. Back then, my musical taste was quite limited. I liked the singles, but it took me some time to take the rest of the album in save for Fourth Of July and Outside. It took me quite a while to appreciate the album as a whole, as I've previously always felt it was too moody and even a bit overlong. But, just like a real slow-burner, I have come to understand its appeal - dark yet sultry, and most importantly, emotionally naked. Now, I still feel like it sags a bit during the second half, but that doesn't change the fact that it will always remain Mariah's greatest body of work to me (so far). All her albums are snapshots of what she was during that time, but to me, this one always gave the most vivid image. Happy birthday, Butterfly. Out of all of Mariah's 90s albums, you have aged the most gracefully. (Wednesday 17 September 2014; 16:04)

Cry. (46,818) by Ken from USA You know when you can't remember what song some lyrics are from? That happened to me today. I couldn't remember where "and I didn't know enough, truly too enchanted to disregard the words you said" so in my head I scanned through Mariah's debut thinking it was from there, then I realised where its actually from got a lot of love for Cry, such a "classic" Mariah sound.

8 Questions with MC (46,816) by AnKo from Germany I really enjoyed this short interview. I felt it was more grounded and calm than other ones. Also, this interview showed the smart and working side of MC. (Wednesday 17 September 2014; 14:50)
