"Meteorite" (45,623) by Billy from Greece Does anyone else think that this song was probably inspired by what MC experienced during American Idol, watching people striving for fame? Gorgeous song anyways. (Sunday 27 July 2014; 14:53)

Re: THE TRUTH from USA (45,622) by MimiLamb from Germany Rude much? To attack Shelly the way you just did? Who made you God? Who made you the truth about everything Mariah? Let people be and respond the way they want. There are different ways to respond in a more respectful way than this. (Sunday 27 July 2014; 13:39)

Shelly about the home (45,621) by May from Denmark The house pictured in the cover of the news is not Mariah Carey's home. It never was. She was planning on buying it and it was said she checked the house and everything but never did buy it. It was all over the news in its time because that manor is incredibly expensive. That house pictured in the news front (which is wrongly depicted, maybe no one has pointed out that to them, the Mirror.uk has done the same mistake) is a house in Beverly Hills called "Fleur de Lys", its owner is a multi-billionaire who bought the house for over 100 million dollars. It's currently one of the most expensive manors in the US. Mariah Carey "recreational" home is the one you posted, the "West Coast Crib" where she did the tv special. She used to own a Bahamas house and posted for sale around 2012 if I'm correct, I don't know if it got sold. And finally she rented in that same year she was trying to sell the Bahamas house a mansion in the Hamptons for a couple of months. She still has her amazing "flat" (haha, it sounds funny to call it that way) in New York. I guess she will always keep that one dearest to her heart, it's known to be her preferred place, the "home sweet home". I'm guessing she might get another house in the future or looking into it.

(45,620) by THE TRUTH from USA Shelly, not to be rude but you sure clearly one of those people who insists on believing in Santa Claus. The cup is not always half full. Yes the picture you just posted is or was their actual home and it's not an accident that a mach larger and more luxurious property was posted and described than the actual one. I'm starting to wonder if maybe you're one of her PR trolls. It's hard to imagine that anyone could be so blindly devoted. Sure we all love her voice and music but most of us can see more clearly that something is also very wrong ever since 2001. (Sunday 27 July 2014; 9:10)

More music (45,619) by Abraham from USA This album has left me wanting more music. I don't want to sound greedy or ungrateful. Because I love this album. But I just want more. I think Mariah did a great job sequencing the songs. But I'd still want to hear the ones that didn't make the album. "Hope street", "I'll still be around" and "Save the day". I wonder if those songs were tossed, or saved for the next album? "Save the day" sounds interesting. "Music box" material maybe? Sounds like a ballad. For now "Heavenly" is giving me everything I wanted. Such an amazing track. (Sunday 27 July 2014; 8:07)

Todd (45,618) by Stacey from USA I don't judge you, lol. I love TGI-Friday's too. Meteorite is a great song. (Sunday 27 July 2014; 5:26)

Feeling enthusiastic (45,617) by Dove from USA Thanks Ken. I'm glad you appreciate my enthusiasm. I was starting to feel like an annoying Stan but really it's because I have nothing else to do right now. I'm on vacation, my son is with his dad, and I already cleaned. I don't know what to do with myself so I've just been reading, watching movies, and coming on here. Stacey, I did see the video with the Rock and it was really cute. They did seem really happy to see each other. They would have made a cute couple in another life. I really hope they make a DVD with visuals for this CD and put it on Netflix. For Cry and One More Try it can just be the same as Camouflage. Then Supernatural can be like AIWFC with home video footage of the family but especially dem babies, like when they were born until now. Maybe some footage of them singing. For Heavenly (No Ways Tired/Can't Give Up Now) they can use the performance from the TV special. You Don't Know What to Do can be Studio 54 style with a gold dress. Or any other idea they have but I'm craving some visuals. (Sunday 27 July 2014; 3:22)

House (45,616) by Dove from USA This house looks like the one from the Real Husbands show, and the At Home concert, and the When Christmas Comes video. I wonder why they used that other house. (Sunday 27 July 2014; 3:08)

Wave good bye to Bel Air (45,615) by THE TRUTH from USA Too bad that is not and never was their home. Not sure whose publicist was responsible for that BS article but the joke is on the lambs because you're being scammed. I wouldn't say that they didn't sell but neither the description nor the photo is legit. If you don't want to take my word for it, do your own research. (Sunday 27 July 2014; 2:08)

Meteorite (45,612) by Todd from Melbourne, Australia So, I was in TGI Friday's yesterday (don't judge me, I was hungry), and Meteorite was playing. Odd. But great. (Sunday 27 July 2014; 0:49)

Shelly (45,611) by Ken from USA I really love how passionate you are about Mariah. (Sunday 27 July 2014; 0:28)

Trish (45,610) by Dove from USA She had the diva attitude even before Nick, though. I agree that this album shows more of her personal side and she seems more connected and real. Maybe she doesn't seem grounded because we hardly see her, and when we do it seems like she doesn't want to be there, like she would rather be at home with her kids. At first I didn't love Supernatural that much either. I thought it was cute but, like you said, not deep enough. But then I started thinking about when my son was a baby before he really started talking. I mean, you love them but you don't really know them yet. As they start getting older and you get to know their personalities, there's more to say. When they're babies you just know you love them unconditionally and they love you and accept you that way too. It's a love like no other, like the way God loves us. Then one day they say something that makes your heart feel like its going to burst with pride and love; like, "I'm a chanteuse." Because you realize that's your kid a real person and not just a cute baby and they have a lot in common with you. Then I realized it is pretty deep. (Saturday 26 July 2014; 22:14)

Katy Perry / Meteorite (45,609) by Stacey from USA I watched the video and it's clearly a diss. With the audience laughing right along with her. KP needs to be careful. While she is the flavor at the moment, she too will fade away. Not to say MC has faded away. But things do change. The music industry changes. However, MC is in a league of her own. Did you see the videos posted of MC attending the Herclules premiere? I loved how Dwayne Johnson left the reporter to hug MC as she passed by. Her happy reaction at seeing DJ was for real. Folks like KP are looking for any way to stay relevant, even if it means putting others down. I can't stand her for that very reason, lol. I've wasted enough time on her as it is. By the way, I am loving Meteorite. It's my jam at the moment. (Saturday 26 July 2014; 22:03)

Camouflage video idea (45,608) by Dove from USA She's wearing the black knee length dress she wore when she performed with the New York Philharmonic last year. (I really love the way she looked that night.) It's a stripped down version with just the main vocal track and the piano. The person that co-wrote the song/accompanist is in the video too. So it's just the two of them, a shiny black grand piano, and maybe white roses and candles. Oh and the video is in black and white. (Saturday 26 July 2014; 21:26)

Meteorite video idea (45,607) by Dove from USA For the Meteorite video I envision the beginning (including the spoken part) showing a meteorite coming towards the Earth, like it shows in this movie trailer. Then she's laying down in the crater and the camera comes closer to her, just like in the trailer. She's wearing the dress from her Paris wedding and her hair is like it was at when she sang with the New York Philharmonic last year. So she's laying there and she sings, "Gotta get up, cause you know the world is waiting." And so she stands up and the ground she's standing on lifts her up and suddenly she's on a stage. She starts singing and at first she's looking at the camera but as the song progresses she gets more into it and the audience (us) disappears for her, she's in her own world and starts to glow from within (like in the movie). When she sings "You've got the night to light up the sky" she's surrounded by a starry night but she's the brightest star in it. (Saturday 26 July 2014; 21:04)

Shelly (45,606) by Trish from USA I like the things you said about Nick and I agree with you about Mariah wanting to stay home more. The thing is people who think Nick hurts Mariah's career is that it should be the opposite. Mariah being a married, working mom, should bring her back down to earth and make her more relatable, and quite frankly this album has pieces of the more personal/connected Mariah then we've seen in years. I was disappointed in Supernatural because I wanted her to go deeper. (Saturday 26 July 2014; 18:52)

Nick (45,604) by Dove from USA I agree that a lot of these songs sound like they're about Nick. I think he works a lot because he wants to provide for his family, and not just mooch off of Mariah, and I respect that about him. Whenever he talks about her in interviews, it seems like he truly loves her and admires her. But all that working may also hurt their relationship because they're apart so much. I think he's really good for her and balances her out. Whenever I see them together her face is so calm, and at peace, and she looks enamored him too. I agree that if she doesn't like him talking about their private life he should respect that and not do it. I don't think he tarnished her image because when he talks about her most of the time it's funny and makes her seem more relatable. You'd have to be a down-to-earth person to be married to him. I don't think he should have said he slept with Kim K or talked about past g/f's but he was on Howard Stern and probably felt pressured. I don't think he's like KFed and Britney because it seemed like that guy was giving her drugs and just looking for a meal ticket. Nick is super healthy and doesn't even drink. Before Mariah was all about her career; when she married Nick she was enjoying being in love and then she had the kids and wanted to take care of them. Maybe Nick did have something to do with the decline of her career but I think it was for good reasons. She started having a real life outside of work. I think the ideal situation would be for Nick to support Mariah with one last huge comeback. Go on tour with her and everything. Then she could kind of retire: move with Nick to California and just do indie records for fun while helping him realize his dreams. (Saturday 26 July 2014; 2:57)

Edward (45,603) by Dove from USA I misunderstood why you brought up the starving kids comment, I thought you were saying that all stars make dumb remarks sometimes. But anyway, I'm glad Mariah didn't say it. Yeah, I never like when she shades any other artists, why even mention them. Most of the time she doesn't though. Why do interviewers always have to bring up other artists? It's annoying and uncomfortable. If MC wants to talk about other artists she'll bring them up herself. There have been so many female artists that were supposed to be "The Next Mariah" who have come and gone. I wish Mariah had the respect she deserves but sadly, it seems you can't get it unless you die. (Saturday 26 July 2014; 2:21)

Money ($*/...) and starving children (45,602) by Dove from USA Mimi L, I like your idea. Jet plane would probably be better because that's what it says in the song. She does look gorgeous in those pics. She looks like she's a really healthy 30 year old, her skin. I loved the shoes and that her toned legs reemerged. I'm so glad she didn't really say that about the starving children. I had heard that before but I couldn't find any sources. (Saturday 26 July 2014; 2:10)

And I dream the impossible dream (45,601) by Bill from the UK I never thought this was a reference to "The Impossible" from MOAIA, but more likely a reference to the very popular song if the same name, reading the lyrics they seem very Mariah-y about strife and fighting for what you know is right, even if it is to your detriment. I love the song, and it's on my wish list for Mariah to cover (and has been for years) and when I heard the line in Money I nearly died. To dream the impossible dream To fight the unbeatable foe To bear with unbearable sorrow To run where the brave dare not go To right the unrightable wrong To love pure and chaste from afar To try when your arms are too weary To reach the unreachable star This is my quest To follow that star No matter how hopeless No matter how far To fight for the right Without question or pause To be willing to march into Hell For a heavenly cause And I know if I'll only be true To this glorious quest That my heart will lie peaceful and calm When I'm laid to my rest And the world will be better for this That one man, scorned and covered with scars Still strove with his last ounce of courage To reach the unreachable star (Friday 25 July 2014; 23:02)

Shelly / Mariah and the starving kids (45,600) by Edward from USA Shelly, looking at the Katy Perry video now, I can see she was definitely being shady, then she tried to clean it up a bit talking about how she loved listening to Fantasy and Honey, but the shade overshadowed all that. I didn't quite like the comment Mariah made about Madonna because I knew that eventually there was going to be a time when Mariah wasn't going to be as popular either. I'm happy when she was asked again about Madonna's performance in 2006, she was more gracious and said Madonna was an icon, but Mariah was more mature then. As for the comment about the starving kids, it was definitely started in England on a tabloid and it eventually spread around the world, but she never said such thing. I posted it to support my statement about checking the veracity of the constant rumors and their sources before we start trashing anyone. Rihanna and Beyoncé have shown their respect to Mariah, and as for Katy Perry, she'd better enjoy it while it lasts, because nowadays, an artist is as good as the performances of their last single on the charts.

Spreading some love (45,599) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Can we all just take a moment and gush at the pictures of Mariah at the premier and the selfies she posted? She looks great. She is now looking like she did in 2005. Healthy and extremely glamorous and ofcourse gorgeous. I am so happy for her. Although she always looks good no matter what size, but she is insecure and I hope now she is feeling better about herself. I see the gloves have come off finally. They were fun for a while (the long ones only) but I can't say I miss them. The dress is sexy and not tacky. The necklace she is wearing is the same she sported in 2005. Hair looks great. She looks radiant and fresh. No where near 44. Mariah, "ah-ah you're beautiful". (Friday 25 July 2014; 20:57)

Edward / starving children comment (45,598) by Bill from the UK Mariah categorically did not say that quote. I can't believe it still gets bandied about to this day. (Friday 25 July 2014; 20:30)

Butterfly (45,597) by B from USA I agree Butterfly is Mariah's best album and so does she. Butterfly is dark, moody, and elegant. She wrote some of her most introspective lyrics for that album. Close My Eyes is hauntingly beautiful with the vivid descriptions. The Roof, Breakdown, and Butterfly along with Close My Eyes, and Babydoll are career defining songs for her. She named her publishing company Beyond Idolization which is a reference to the "Do you care for me beyond idolization" line from Babydoll. (Friday 25 July 2014; 20:11)

Another theory (45,596) by B from USA I think the love of Mariah's life is Jeter. They were a modern day Marilyn and Joe. She wrote about him on every album since Butterfly. The references to The Roof and My All are about him. The last song I was absolutely sure was about him was For The Record with all the reference. (Friday 25 July 2014; 20:06)
