Marriage speculations (45,692) by Gerald from USA by the way of NYC I know that we have to keep ourselves entertained until we know for sure what's going on next with this era but making assumptions about the Cannons' personal life is definitely not the answer. Whatever is popping off behind the scenes will soon be revealed if anything at all. Mariah was just with Nick and her in-laws house last week after the movie perimer with her butterfly ring and wedding band on the same finger. So honestly I think everyone should ease up and let the Cannons live their lives and we should focus on the music and the tour that is soon to come. (Wednesday 30 July 2014; 23:53)

Relaunch (45,691) by Dove from USA I hope it's true but I'm afraid to get my hopes up. (Wednesday 30 July 2014; 23:50)

Nick (45,690) by Dove from USA I had the same reaction when I found out they had gotten married; at first I was shocked but when I saw how happy she looked I was happy for her and the relationship grew on me. I started watching more of his shows and interviews and he seemed like a good guy that truly loved Mariah. There are reports that he cheated on her and a private investigater caught him on different occasions. If that's true, that he cheats on her, I don't like it. I don't think any woman should stay with a cheater because if he's cheating he doesn't truly love her as much as he says. If he's going to do that then he might as well stay single like George Clooney. Cheaters are selfish and don't understand or care how much their cheating hurts their partner. I hope it's not true but if it is I understand her wanting a divorce. (Wednesday 30 July 2014; 23:33)

Nick (45,689) by Uninvited Guest from usa Whether we like Nick or not Mariah loves him. All these rumors and talks don't mean nothing to them. Nick and Mariah is so past all this blog stuff. They are a real couple, it's not a Hollywood marriage, it's real life for them. I understand fans want to know and pick who's who and what's what, and what this mean but at the end of the day it's their life. I like Nick for Mariah and with Mariah so I'm happy for them. This interview Nick recently did helps to see Nick is a real dude. (Wednesday 30 July 2014; 21:18)

The lose-lose situation (45,688) by Edward from USA People have been trying to break them up before they even got married. I don't personally have anything against Nick, he sounds like a cool guy. With them it is a lose-lose situation though. No matter what they do, people will find something to pick on. When I was a kid, before I went to school one day, my father was having an argument with my mother, and I heard my loving mother say in a Latin soap opera style that only one of them would make it alive that day, I went to school worried to death because I thought I was going to find the police at home due to the a tragedy, yet I found my father giving my mother a back rub. They never got physical, but they sometimes had big arguments, they loved each other, and their marriage was over when my mother passed away 25 years later. Some childish things Nick has said about their relationship don't define their relationship. No press is bad press, if they are still talking about Mariah, it is because she still has some relevancy. So, let them talk. I know that we deep down want Mariah for ourselves only, we feel like Nick is this intruder who's keeping her from us, but Mariah is a control freak, I don't think Nick has any control over her.

We Belong Together (45,687) by Lee from UK My Time Hop app has just informed me that it is 9 years ago today that We Belong Together topped the US charts. It really doesn't feel that long at all. (Wednesday 30 July 2014; 17:40)

MIAMTEC (45,686) by B from USA So, Mariah posted then deleted that 9-9-14 MIAMTEC will be relaunched with four new songs and that Thirsty is the next single with a video already shot. Sounds promising. (Wednesday 30 July 2014; 16:46)

We shouldn't doubt Mimi and Nick (45,685) by Lee from USA I mean, what are we doing? We are giving the media what those selective vultures want. The press wanted to break up her marriage for the last 6 years because their darlings' love-lives has been in the toilet for so long. I don't know why that we are debating articles from gossip websites which had an ax to grind against Mimi for 20 years. If Nick was at home all of the time, then he would be a mooch. If the opposite was true, he would be considered as running from his family and creeping around. To me, Mimi is a target of an on-and off-again media witch hunt. (Wednesday 30 July 2014; 15:42)

Nick Cannon on his marriage (3 weeks ago) (45,684) by Jamie from UK Just listen to the first 40 seconds. The marriage is likely on the rocks but I don't think they're breaking up. In response to the question below, I was surprised that she got married so quickly after meeting him. But I was just mostly happy for her because they seemed so in love. She was really glowing in 2008. (Wednesday 30 July 2014; 12:41)

Question for you all (45,683) by Marissa from USA What were your initial reactions when you found out that Nick and Mariah were married? I was in shock, but their relationship grew on me. (Wednesday 30 July 2014; 4:20)

MC and Nick (45,682) by Marissa from USA I really hope MC and Nick aren't going their separate ways but there's pretty much nothing concrete that would make me believe otherwise. I think we need to be mindful that it typically takes two people to make a marriage fall apart. We can't just put every single marital issue on Nick because we're fans of Mariah. Something major must have happened because I never thought I would see a time where Nick wasn't constantly gushing about Mariah and showcasing their relationship in pictures. From my observations, Mariah seems like the type where if you piss her off she will go into a silent treatment/stop acknowledging your existence (we've seen her do this with other celebrities) and I wouldn't be surprised if that's what's going on in her marriage right now. I'm not saying that her feelings aren't justified, but in a relationship the absence of communication is the kiss of death. Ideally, I want them to make it but I don't think they will.

Divorce updates (45,681) by nikki from usa This could be a trial seperation to let Nick figure out what he wants. I noticed this past month all of MC's pic updates feature her and the kids in NYC. Nick went to a VIP party in support of Fifa with Mario Lopez in Las Vegas on the 16th and went to a Beyonce and Jayz concert for their On The Run tour without MC. Mariah went to Hercules without him and is wearing her butterfly ring where her wedding ring should be. Nick's been doing a lot of charity for kids lately, but it doesn't appear he's spent any time with his own since Father's Day. His instagram is gone and the only updates he's made on twitter are minor about his own career. He didn't mention Mariah's beverage or tour and she didn't mention any of his charities, the bbq he was at this past weekend, or his new tablet. (Wednesday 30 July 2014; 3:34)

Rumor (45,680) by G.G. from USA I found that on a Facebook fan site. Somebody from twitter took a screen shot before Mariah deleted it. The fans twitter is @NICK8FO. (Wednesday 30 July 2014; 3:32)

Re-swirl (45,679) by Kyle from USA Jill B. Scott tweeted last week and copied Mariah with the caption @Mariahcarey, we are going to reswirl this thing. I'm assuming the relaunch of the album. If she does relaunch, you can bet MiMi will have a full loaded marketing campaign this go round especially since she wants to tour with this album. I told you all there was stuff going on behind the scenes. Mariah isn't stupid, when it comes to her music (and especially music that did not sell well) she went straight back to the lab to make more music. She still got it in her. All these bull crap postings about she lost her voice and she is fat and she needs to retire, etc that is just fuel to her inner fire to prove everyone wrong. She always does her best when everyone counts her out. (Wednesday 30 July 2014; 0:51)

MC nowhere to be seen with Nick? (45,677) by May from Denmark Hi G.G. and thanks for the heads up. Nick has been posting stuff on Twitter, just that not about Mariah. I also used to check his twitter just to see if there was anything new about MC or them together that wasn't on her account but nothing. The last tweet about her (if I'm not wrong) was about the song Thirsty on May 13. "Thirsty. Definitely one of my favorite joints. Wait until you all hear the entire album. Fire. Amazing." I know he did a launch daylight party for his new tablet just yesterday, and Mariah neither the kids were present and she didn't mention anything about him launching anything or doing any promotion or mention as she used to for his projects in the past. I'm so surprised about that tweet. Wow, I missed it and I did checked on her twitter today, she posted a candid pic with B. Scott looking gorgeous. I'm now so eager for the Thirsty video. Hopefully if it's true, I wish wish wish the video to be awesome. Btw here is a throwback video of Nick Cannon and his "he should have shut the f***" moment. This is why I never bothered listening to him in interviews. To be 100% honest, I never liked him much and I don't think he is that funny. (Wednesday 30 July 2014; 0:22)

G.G. (45,676) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Hey where did you hear about the relaunch? I can't seem to find it anywhere. If she did tweet it, I wonder why she deleted it. If she does relaunch it, I will be happy. I was not being able to digest the fact that Mariah is letting her (what critics and fans are calling one of her greatest albums) just die out without trying to save it. But if she does give it another shot and this time do it right, with videos shot on time and appearances lined up and good performances (live or atleast lipped without getting caught), I'll be happy. I am glad Thirsty is the next single. I like the song and it might be popular. (Tuesday 29 July 2014; 23:28)

Divorce (45,675) by Dove from USA He hasn't posted anything about her on Facebook either. Well he does have Robin Thick and Howard Stern as friends and carries a pimp cane. He seemed like such a good guy too. If these divorce rumors are true I hope he will be a gentleman and not air their dirty laundry. This is reminding me of Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher in that he married an attractive and rich older lady to help his career and then dumped her. It angers me and I hurt for her just thinking about it. MC looked happy at the Hercules premier, though. If she does get depressed I hope she seeks counseling and doesn't get stuck there. Life is short. (Tuesday 29 July 2014; 22:48)

TJ / GG (45,673) by Abraham from USA I don't believe that. Mariah would have done fine without Tommy. It's her talent and voice that has gotten her to where she is today. She's the one who has written practically all her songs. Gigi, where did you read that rumor? Her twitter? Re releasing the album with new songs would be great. I want more music. (Tuesday 29 July 2014; 22:42)

Observation (45,672) by G.G. from USA I used to check Nick's Instagram page for pictures of Mariah and the kids. His Instagram has been deleted and he hasn't posted anything on Twitter since July 1st. (Tuesday 29 July 2014; 19:57)

Rumor (45,671) by G.G. from USA Mariah posted then deleted it: 9.9.14. MIAMTEC will be re launched with four new songs and Thirsty will be the next single with a video already shot. (Tuesday 29 July 2014; 19:47)

Re this_is_qhm (45,670) by May from Denmark I also would love an album with all new and fresh stuff. She could leave all the already-done music or left-overs for bonus tracks, surprise tracks, secret tracks, anything else as extra for the fans. I am enjoying MIAM, tho I do skip the first tracks usually. Not because I dislike them, but because it brings my mood down when hearing slow type of songs right from the get go, I have to either be in a position where I identify myself in such situation or after going through the whole more upbeats then going down for a "relax" kind of moment. Obviously is a personal thing haha. I do think the songs are wonderful. Does anyone find it strange that she started this last album with slow tracks as opposite with the upbeat ones as she usually does? The ones that started with slow but powerful ballads if you could call it somehow were "Vision of love" and "Through the rain", both with uplifting messages. She said it was a "body of work". What you guys interpret out of this album when listening to it from begging? (Tuesday 29 July 2014; 11:05)

"Hoodriah" / "Thugriah" (45,669) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Although I personally love her, I know “hood” version of Mariah (some fans/haters call "Hoodriah"/"Thugriah") isn’t for everyone. It’s just a matter of preference/tolerance for some fans. But what many people don’t seem to get is that Mariah was raised in New York; she was a first-hand witness to the infancy and growth of hip-hop/rap as a genre. That’s why it’s close to her heart and eventually was the path that she ended up taking. Sure she started with pop ballads and she excels at them, but something about her oldest songs always sounded a just wee bit forced to me. It’s like you can almost feel Tommy’s control, as well as Mariah’s reluctant compliance on some of the material, so she made sure she put little stamps here and there of her own input. But even in such a restricted environment, her talent and rebelling artistry still stood out. But it’s only until Hoodriah arrived that she became more honest than ever. What makes me appreciate Mimi even more is her commitment to give back to the music she grew up with. Even way before she was on Idol, she already was discovering new talent. So generously cool. She’s constantly on the lookout for less known rappers on the brink of going mainstream to feature in her tracks. That’s a win-win situation for both parties, as she’s giving someone talented a shot at stardom while ensuring she isn’t overshadowed by her guest. Nicki owes her a big deal. Mariah was one of the first mainstream acts to feature her on an official single. (Tuesday 29 July 2014; 11:05)

Re: this_is_qhm (45,668) by TJ from Norway I love "Do you think of me". I remember that I played that song all the time in 1993 (luckily I had more than one CD-single with that track). I don't think Mariah's music was boring at the beginning. It was pure, and she sounded lovely. Without Tommy's work, I'm not sure that Mariah would be here today. Not as the big mega star she was. (Tuesday 29 July 2014; 9:06)

Mariah and Nick (45,667) by Jessica from USA Nick knew what he getting into when he married Mariah and Mariah knew what she was getting into when she married Nick. We can't just bash Nick because we believe he is the reason Mariah wrote "Camouflage" and "Faded". Every story has two sides. I would love to hear Nick's side also. We don't know what goes on behind closed doors. Yes, Nick is immature at times and is a well known "playa" with a big mouth but Mariah knew this when she married him and if she didn't maybe she shouldn't have said "yes" after only 6 weeks of dating. I think it's funny how lambs blame Mariah's faults on everybody else. So it was Nick who ruined her career huh? I guess it's Nick who forces Mariah to lip? Oh and he must've directed the YME video right? Smh. Truth be told it was bound to happen. Mariah with all her insecurities and of course being "Mr Carey" would eventually get to him. But like I said he knew he was Nick Cannon marrying Mariah Carey, one of the biggest artists of all time so what did he expect? He wanted Mariah so he got her. So now he works all the time and Mariah feels as if he is "thirsty" for fame and no longer loves her. Mariah and Nick have both publicity disrespected each other. Divorce is sad in any situation but especially if your in the public eye. I feel for them both, but also feel as if they set there selves up for it. Mariah throwing Nick under the bus in interviews, Nick bringing up his past lovers. Sadly, they are just no longer a good match. (Tuesday 29 July 2014; 6:46)

The webmaster / album art (45,666) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Funny, I also thought the same thing. I also read that article about the album cover, which came out around the same time the former album title was leaked. So when I first saw the deluxe album cover for MIAMTEC, I knew that this album really was slated for a 2013 release to benefit from the hype #Beautiful and her stint on Idol generated. This confirms that the injury was real and not just some stunt (a cruel theory on this board last year) and begs us to rethink if the rumored tracklist that circulated last year could have been the actual one at that time, especially since some titles in that one ended up on MIAMTEC. When the whole plan was derailed by the injury, it gave Mariah some time to reconsider some of the songs and record new ones. So if the old leaked tracklist was true, then a handful of songs really were left out. I hope she reworks them and includes them on her next release, which like some here have said, could very well be in 2015 to coincide with her silver year in the business. It's also possible that she's planning another greatest hits album, now to include her hits post-2000, with a few new tracks tacked on, including a single or two to promote it. I'd be okay with that too, but I personally prefer an album of all new material, even more so if it includes leftovers and outtakes since 2009. Mariah's an unstoppable machine in the studio, there could be at least 40 completed/unfinished songs that were left on the cutting room floor from that 5 year period. (Tuesday 29 July 2014; 6:18)
