Shelly (45,652) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Don't let people tell you what you should feel. Be it positive or negative, you are entitled to your opinions. So yes, you shouldn't feel the need to say what you think people want. You seem like a very sweet person and it's evident you love Mariah, that's all that matters. We sometimes criticize our loved ones not out of hatred but because we want the best for them, we want them to get a reality check so it's completely fine if you find faults in Mariah, she is human too. Nobody is flawless. At the same time it's fine for you to keep a positive attitude. Basically what I want to say is, don't listen to others. You should be free to express whatever opinions you have.

Bill (45,651) by Dove from USA Thank you Bill. I appreciate reading everyone's thoughts and opinions on here. Sometimes I skip some of them because I have nothing of value to add but I'll thumbs up it if I do agree or like what its saying. (Monday 28 July 2014; 21:48)

May and Nick (45,650) by Lynn from USA May, I don't see your comments as an attack on me because that is your opinion and you really didn't say anything that offended me. I think you should be able to voice your opinions without others getting upset; that's why I love this forum. I also agree with some of the things that you said. However, I was trying to say that Mariah is not the only person with feelings in that marriage. It's not always about her. It takes two to make a marriage work. I believe he loves her for who she is and vice versa. None of us really know what is going on, just the two of them. Although, we have our own speculations, I hope whatever is going on with them, if anything, can be worked out. (Monday 28 July 2014; 21:40)

Nick (45,649) by Dove from USA When I saw they sold their house it kind of made my heart sink to my stomach because for some reason it doesn't feel like a good thing. She did seem upset on the Valentine's Day interview. He said, "Valentine's Day starts now" when asked about their V-Day plans and she responded by saying, "Valentine's Day started this morning." Then in a different interview she said she didn't know where her husband was going to be on Valentine's Day or something. I just want her to be happy. (Monday 28 July 2014; 21:13)

Shelly (45,648) by Bill from the UK Keep doing what you're doing Shelly. I for one appreciate your posts, and I'm sure many others do too. (Monday 28 July 2014; 21:05)

Mariah and Nick (45,646) by Gilles from Malta I didn't know if I would sell my house from earthquake risk zone, that my neighborhood would think that I m divorcing lol. (Monday 28 July 2014; 21:04)

The Celeb Dirty Laundry article (45,645) by MimiLamb from Germany Is just awful, sorry but it seems like Nick is a prisoner and Mariah is the prison warden keeping him trapped. Ofcourse blame the diva right? But luckily the name of the source says enough. Shake it off and move on. (Monday 28 July 2014; 20:56)

Mariah Carey album cover leaked (45,644) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands I was reading this news article from a year ago, and the leaked album cover really turned out to be the real album cover. (Monday 28 July 2014; 20:46)

The Truth (45,643) by Dove from USA I wish I was one of her marketing trolls. My job is not as glamorous, I'm actually a nurse. I feel like I can't win on here. At first I was just saying whatever was on my mind and some of it was critical but some people on here didn't like that. So then I thought; "Okay, I'll focus on only the positive" because apparently that's what a "real fan" does; but now that's a problem too. (Monday 28 July 2014; 19:54)

Re Abraham (45,642) by May from Denmark The picture comes from her twitter, from this week. I also asked myself if she was doing new music or just "splashing" a bit with him (having some drinks and a fun time). Something tells me though that she might be working new things. It would be great to see or listen something fresh soon before her tour. (Monday 28 July 2014; 17:48)

Re Lynn about Nick (45,641) by May from Denmark While I agree that she has said some goofy things about him as well, both sides have had their funny tolls. Whoreally cares what she wears? He is her husband, not her owner, she is not his property because she is not a thing. She can dress however she wants wherever she goes. And Nick shouldn't sigh a peep, because he knew how she was before and after being together. Really. Not trying to attack you, just not agreeing with part of your comment. On the other hand, we don't know how people are behind doors, it's true. But I never understood why Mariah and Nick were together, I often thought it was cause she probably enjoyed his childish side, because they always seem to disagree about everything. In interviews of them together you can see Mariah rolling her eyes when he says something she doesn't agree, or him shaking his head in a "no no no". Maybe they finally realized the "honeymoon" stage is done and they are moving into the next one? Wouldn't know. They don't seem to spend much time together lately, I know he is into this tv show all the time where he does challenges or something, haven't looked at it. (Monday 28 July 2014; 17:24)

Mariah and Nick are not together anymore (45,640) by Outsider girl from Mars Are you guys serious about Mariah and Nick still together? Come on, open your yes. They split after St. Valentine's day. That day, she was calling him "the abandoner". He was faded as always, focused in his profesional plans and thirsty for a dream and celebrity. He loves girls, he's a player and she's extremely insecure. That's not a good mix. You know they didn't renewed their vows last april 30th. They just shared the day together because that same day is their twin's birthday. Nick has devotion for Mariah and she is the love of his life. He still can't believe how he managed to marry Mariah Carey and have twins with her. That's his dream come true. She was his crush and he still idolize her and her lifestyle. Mariah doesn't want to have a bad relationship with him or make a public divorce announcement because of their twins. She doesn't want her kids grow without that family union feeling but she is fed up of Nick. He's a player and he knew how to make it look good but not anymore. They have sold their Bel-Air crib and they are not making public appearances anymore. Maybe that interview in MTV about You're Mine (Eternal) video was the last one together. Who knows if Mariah is really dating "The Rock" now or it was just a marketing strategy to promote her friend Brett Ratner's new movie? (Monday 28 July 2014; 13:13)

RJJ12 (45,639) by Abraham from USA Where did you see that pic? I can't say what's to come. If Mariah has another new album on the way, then she already signed with a new record company. (Monday 28 July 2014; 11:02)

Carla (45,637) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines I appreciate how passionate you are as a Mariah fan. I really do. It's great that you choose to repress the bad and express the good, which always sounds easier than done. I should know, because if you read through all my posts, until about a month ago, I used to be super defensive of Mariah as well. I also didn't want a negative atmosphere on this board. But I realized that this is the internet. Relative anonymity pretty much grants anyone the chance to be meaner than they actually are or would ever want to be. People will always find something criticize, even on a fansite. In a perfect world, there will be none of this crap. But hey, like I said before, all of us here may be fans of varying degrees of devotion, but I have faith that everyone, even the most critical and cynical won't talk smack just for the heck of it. Deep down, underneath all the harsh words, is good intent. Not gonna lie though, it does feel like a roast up in here at times. But fans do have different ways of expressing their love for Mariah, and some can be way too tough at it. I gets upsetting, but until they cross the line, I'll respect that. If you go through all of my posts, I do my best to balance my critical moments with positive ones. But right now, to you I'm probably just someone who "called" Mariah a bitch. That's fine. It's fair. It's human nature to be drawn to what's negative. In the context of this messageboard, we have no control over what people will say, but what we can somehow control is the extent of how their statements can affect us. I choose to see the good over the bad. It's not gonna be easy, but I'll try my hardest to stick to it. And if the good isn't there, I'll look for it. It has to be somewhere. I mean, we're all fans here. I guess that makes me naïve. Peace. (Monday 28 July 2014; 9:30)

Nick and Mariah (45,635) by Lynn from USA In my earlier post I wanted people to imagine how Nick must feel when Mariah doesn't wear her engagement ring or wedding band all the time. After viewing pictures on another Mariah fan site, she's clearly wearing her wedding band along with her butterfly ring at the Hercules premiere. But still think about how he must feel at times although he laughs off things in public. (Monday 28 July 2014; 6:14)

Where are these from? (45,634) by NYHotShotta from USA Does anyone know which performances these pix are from they both look like they're from 1998 especially in the second one she's wearing the same outfit from the My All/Stay Awhile music video? (Monday 28 July 2014; 4:26)

Nick, Nick, Nick (45,633) by Lynn from USA Lets flip the switch for a moment. How do we know how Mariah treats him? No one really knows what goes on behind closed doors. Does she really respect Nick? She has made some silly comments about him as well. When is the last time she publicly supported one of his many projects? He seems to appear at more of her functions than she at his. How does it make him feel to see his wife come out to support Brett Ratner's movie and not even mention his on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram? How does he feel about her hanging out with Dwayne Johnson at the after party? How does it make him feel when he sees Mariah in the recording studio with low cut shirts and tight dresses on around other male rappers/singers? What about posing in the bathtub or posting pictures of herself in bikinis? How does he feel about her not wearing her ring when he wears his? I love them both, but some people seem to think that Mariah is the only one with feelings in their relationship. (Monday 28 July 2014; 3:44)

New album or re-release? (45,632) by 123 from USA So Mariah just posted a pic from the Bahamas just having worked with Big Jim Wright. New music seems to be on the way, but I'm wondering will it be a re-release or a new album. Her hinting towards a tour makes me believe it might be a re-release but her silence towards the current project and single might suggest differently. What does everyone else think? (Monday 28 July 2014; 2:30)

Next album (45,631) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I don't think we'll need to wait long for the next album to drop. I have a strong feeling she'll release it next year to mark her 25th year in the business. It's a great opportunity and will give her the chance to quickly get people's mind off the disaster (that is Chanteuse) by ensuring the next one becomes a success. Although it seems like it's all over for Chanteuse, I still hope there is something more to come. Atleast the video for YDKWTD. (Monday 28 July 2014; 0:20)

Nick (45,630) by Darryle from USA Why are people so quick to put Nick down? Yes he has made mistakes like talking about their sex life which is a no no but other than that there isn't any reason. In the booty video I don't think he chose Nicki Minaj to spite Mariah. He probably just thought "Who has the biggest butt?" It would've been cute had he said Mariah but not true. A brick wall has more booty than Mariah. If it was breast week Mariah would have won hands down but it wasn't. It's not like he's saying I'm going to dump Mariah and go with Nicki. He's just saying she has a big butt at least Mariah's butt is real. As for her career Nick didn't ruin Mariah's. Nick has very little input in her career. He suggested redoing covers for MOAIA and he's directed videos but Mariah if she wanted to could say no I don't want Nick doing this or that. Nick's not forcing his way in if anything she's letting him in. (Monday 28 July 2014; 0:14)

Touring (45,629) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines A big reason why Madonna still manages to sell 2 million copies of her recent releases worldwide is because of her constant touring. Say what you want about the woman, but it's just admirable how she never tires of performing, especially at her age. She attacks every album promotion with such gusto as if it was her debut all over again. That's why I think it's great that Mariah's going back on the road. It's exactly what she needs to reconnect with her core fanbase, especially since apparently there are only around 60,000 left in the US (maybe even less, as hardcore fans might've bought 3-5 copies each of MIAMTEC). In some ways, touring brings her back to earth. It serves as a humbling experience for her, humanizing her and stripping her off of her larger than life persona. Plus, I've always believed that infrequent singing can be just as detrimental to one's singing ability as vocal exhaustion. As Janet said once, "You gotta keep the chords going." Now I don't know how often Mariah sings in her normal everyday life, especially now with her family around, but I believe it's safe to assume that the last time she really sang for an extended period was her last tour. As long as she rests well and drinks less, she'll be fine. It's a solid plan, she'll get reunited with her fans plus her voice will be all warmed-up for her next album, which I strongly feel will arrive within the next 2 years (fingers crossed). (Sunday 27 July 2014; 23:45)

Nick is thirsty to say the least (45,628) by Daydream327 from USA Okay, so before some try to attack me for the title, I use to love Nick and respect him greatly as Mariah's husband until just recently. I just started to realize how really immature and "thirsty" he truly is. So I was browsing on YT and came across the video above. (If it's not working type in "Nick Cannon talks Nicki Minaj's bodacious ackside" on Youtube.) And was appalled by what came out of his mouth. Now I know he's said some pretty disrespectful things recently but this one takes the cake. he was asked who had the best butt in Hollywood. Firstly, for him to even answer that question was disrespectful and to say Nicki Minaj at that, it's like a blatant diss to his wife. Smh he acts as if he's a child that can't keep his mouth shut. Entertainment or not he is a disrespectful immature little boy and is not a good look for Mariah. Believe it or not he is apart of the reason why Mariah's career has taken a huge dip. I honestly believe most of the heartbreaking songs on MIAM are indeed about him. She has said Nick does have a different side to him that the world doesn't see. Iv'e also noticed Mariah doesn't even seem interested in him anymore nor has she been wearing her ring, dembabies seem to be what makes her the happiest. This is all a shame because I use to think he was so great for Mariah, but now I see he isn't all what he puts out to be. (Sunday 27 July 2014; 19:42)

Re Mimi lamb (45,627) by Joe from United Kingdom I was about to post the exact same thing you just posted in regards to the truth's rudeness towards Shelly in regards to the whole house selling situation. I don't see Mariah moving house as something to act so heated over. (Sunday 27 July 2014; 18:39)

I'm probably gonna get crucified for this, but what the hell (45,625) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Since this can be a touchy topic, I'll tread carefully. Mariah needs younger fans. As we know, they are the most rabid demographic when it comes to buying music. And since she seems to avoid working with other artists that aren't rappers or R&B crooners or even male for that matter, another way for her to broaden her audience is to dabble into other genres - something that's possible without her having to compromise her pop/R&B/hip-hop/urban roots, as proven by Cruise Control, Migrate, and Side Effects, which turned out better than anyone could have expected. I just listened to Ariana's Break Free. She's no Mariah for sure, but she's one of the few current new artists who have talent. The production sounds awfully cheap, but her vocals save it. This made me realize that regardless of genre or production quality, a great voice will always shine through. Always. EDM almost always gets immediate disapproval on this board. As someone who appreciates it as well as everything under dance music, I don't think it will hurt Mariah if she does a dance track. She's done it successfully numerous times before in remixes and a couple of it can spice up her future albums. It's not selling out because she doesn't actually hate dance music, she just doesn't like too much of it. And she's not following any trends because other than dubstep, EDM hasn't been a trend for almost 2 years now. Plus, knowing her, she always puts her own stamp on her more experimental tracks, as most recently proven by the Triumphant remixes. The beauty of electronica is that it has a lot of sub-genres: trance, synth-pop, house, euro-disco, hi-NRG, etc. for her to choose from. She'll it off well if the following conditions are met: 1) None of the generic uninspired stuff in-demand producers like Guetta lazily cobble together now that they’re famous. Dance music suits Mariah’s voice very well, so she should go to less known producers who haven’t run out of tricks yet. 2) She must go for timeless rather than hip. This can be done by adding retro or world sounds. Anything on Madonna’s Ray Of Light or Confessions album still sound great today. Mimi’s brilliant mash-up of My All and Stay Awhile sounds dated but simultaneously still fresh. 3) She must just let herself go with the vocals. Mariah’s signature climactic runs towards the end always sound great against a hard-hitting beat. Now the biggest reason behind me choosing dance music for her to work with is because I miss straight-up dance/club Mariah (and I know I’m not alone in this). And if she doesn’t feel like doing this right now, then I’m hoping for her to toy with other genres such as rock, country, reggae, or even better bossa nova or jazz. She’s done most of these before already but I’m always game for another installment. (Sunday 27 July 2014; 17:15)

"One More Try" (45,624) by Billy from Greece I'm not one of those people that will milk a song's lyrics to draw strict (or random) conclusions about who Mariah may have written/sung it for, especially since we don't know what's really '"really" happening in her life (unless she has opnely discussed about it), yet this section of "One More Try" inevitably does create some correlations with people involved in Mariah's life from back in the day (who could be the "teacher")": "When you were just a stranger And I was at your feet I didn't feel the danger Now I feel the heat That look in your eyes Telling me no So you think that you love me, no That you need me I wrote the song, I know it's wrong Just let me go" (Sunday 27 July 2014; 14:58)
