Messageboard

Check this out (45,127) by Billy from Greece I'm sorry about the language I may use, but everytime I come across this interview, I just wish I could punch that interviewer. I mean, supposedly Mariah is the diva, the difficult, snob, whatever celebrity bla bla bla. But check the attitude of the interviewer, especially her look. She oozes bitchiness and total contempt for Mariah. MC is so articulate and nice here. And what does that other bitch have to say? "Humility doesn't sit all that comfortably." Really? Some people. No wonder Mariah, or any celebrity, is fed up with interviewers and interviews of this kind and acts "weird" in future interviews. I mean, just look at that woman, her haughtiness. Who does she think she is? I swear, I don't know the lady, but she comes across as a vastly disagreeable person. (Friday 27 June 2014; 9:51)

Derek Jeter? (45,126) by Elena from The Netherlands I know we will never know the true story/inspiration about the songs on MIAMTEC but since MC has stated that some songs are very personal and put a lot of time sequencing them, I'm gonna have a go at it with some theories: Cry - She already said this song was very personal to her and this album should be heard as a body of work, her journey over the past few years. I can't help but thinking this is about Derek. She was so in love with him during the Butterfly era and she's gave some hints in her songs long after they broke up. Charmbracelet included SI and Lullaby, where she sings "how's your family please say hello from me". MC said that Dereks bi-racial family impressed her. They worked out when her family didn't and she felt their warmth and love as she would've loved to experience with her own family. TEOM had WBT and DFAU, the latter of which she made a video in a "sports theme" which links directly to Derek being a baseball player. Plus all the guys were bald-ish like Derek. She said For The Record was very autobiographic. With Camouflage the only thing she wants to know is if he still loves her. Cry and Faded close the book on Jeter. The few pics that are on the net from them being together clearly shows how in love she is and how she adores him. They broke up because he couldn't deal with the media attention on them, so I think he was the love of her life untill she settled with Nick, which basicly began so when they had their twins since the last album.

Help with ideas for an MC inspired birthday basket (45,125) by JJ from Good Times from USA So I found another reason to buy the new album and drinks. My friend, who is a casual M fan and super fan when drunk, is having a birthday brunch this Saturday. I decided to make her a "goodies" basket filled with M products. I already have two butterfly drinks, the new cd, the M pink perfume, and a whole bunch of ring pop candies. Any other suggestions on what to stuff it with? I couldn't find the OPI nail polishes. My friends are all "normal", I'm the only crazy fan, but I think they will think it's a nice gift. I wish I could post a picture to show you all. (Friday 27 June 2014; 7:13)

Fairweather lambs (45,123) by Manny from U.S. Reading the messageboard for the past few days proves to me some lambs are just "fairweather" fans. I can't wait for a successful album when Mariah repeats the Emancipation era. The "lambs" that are writing her off and speaking so negatively about her, will eat their words. They will jump on the bandwagon and love her again, just because she is #1 on all the charts again. It seems some people dislike her when she's flopping and love her when she's on top of the world.

Hoping Mariah is Ariana's TRL guest (45,122) by Nicole from US I don't know if anyone has posted about this yet but wouldn't it be great if Mariah uses the TRL comeback to turn things around? Here's hoping that she can come and be supportive to someone that she influenced by a great deal. Since Ariana's fans are in full force in buying stuff maybe this can be something that would work to MCs advantage and make people think she is really nice to other female singers especially to the one that has idolized her in current music.

Thanks, Bill (45,121) by Lee from USA I was making the point if other artists are doing worse than Mimi was, we can't be losing our minds about a damn photo. I just stated the obvious, and if you are going to get mad at me for doing so, then you all should get mad at the Reelz Channel for putting their business out there. Lately, she has been talking about her kids and she put the album together. Every time she is in a magazine, they list her accolades. In other news, did Nick actually said that stuff or did the media made it up like they did with the MJ fiasco. (Thursday 26 June 2014; 21:56)

#Beautiful acoustic (45,120) by Dove from USA I love it. Is it available for purchase? (Thursday 26 June 2014; 19:47)

How is her diva attitude working for her? (45,119) by Edward from USA With all the accolades that Mariah has, being the most influential artist of the past 20 years, having written most of her hits, having more #1's than any other female artist in the US so far, why is she considered to be some sort of a joke? When she came back with TEOM, people embraced her, but her attitude was different back then. I was at the VH1 taping when she sang with John Legend. My friend, whom I had brought with me, told me he had a new respect for Mariah, she was humble and likable then. Now this constant announcement of what she is or has achieved isn't actually helping her, but working against her. She's the only one laughing with her Marilyn impersonation, because most people think she's full of herself, and arrogant. Whitney succumbed to drugs, but her talent spoke for her. Whitney is remembered for being the Voice, even when she died with no voice. Celine may not sell much in the US, but people respect her worldwide, and they would go to Vegas and see her in concert around the world. People don't respect Mariah as they do Barbra, Whitney, or Celine, and that is very sad because she's the most accomplished of all them all. So, how is this diva sh*t working for her so far? The blindest person is the one who doesn't want to see. (Thursday 26 June 2014; 19:35)

Jaker (45,118) by Bill from the UK I think the idea here is to not blow things out of proportion. Mariah didn't release an "In Bed with Mariah" book like Madonna did, doesn't take illegal drugs nor has a shady theme park where no adults are allowed. If Mariah's single cover is photoshopped, let's thank God for small mercies instead of running her into the ground about it. It's not that big a deal. (Thursday 26 June 2014; 16:53)

Bill (45,117) by jaker20 from US Well if that's Lee's point, then it's a terrible comparison. To be comparing MC to those who have passed is a little, yeah ott. I mean, that's not even close, it's slightly tasteless. MC is still with us making great music. We all agree with this. But MC is also with us wasting her talent. MC isn't gone, she's just lost imo. And I know there's many of us who think MC still have many years of great music ahead of her. (Thursday 26 June 2014; 15:23)

Bye Bye video (45,116) by Mikey from USA Hey guys, I was randomly watching the Bye Bye video yesterday and I must say she looked amazing during that time, I think she was on some kind of "fish soup" diet at the time though. I really don't get the lack of effort in this era especially with such a stand out album and tracks that she says she is most proud of. Oh well, just my 2 cents. I'm enjoying the music either way. (Thursday 26 June 2014; 14:50)

Jaker20 (45,115) by THE TRUTH from USA I can't be sure but maybe that reference had to do with MCs sister Alison (ex crack addict) having two of her kids (Michael and Shawn) raised by her Mother Patricia. And yeah, that whole post WAS a little over the top... personal issues maybe? (Thursday 26 June 2014; 11:24)

Jaker (45,114) by Bill from the UK I think Lee's point was he was referring to artists like Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston, who both had much more serious charges against them than Mariah ever has. Exposing a bit of cleavage and lipping to a song causes uproar amongst fans and non-fans alike. Yet MJ can ply kids with "Jesus Juice", Whitney can smoke her way into an early grave, yet they are still respected and considered legends in the industry when Mariah isn't.

Dress her age my a** (45,113) by Raphael from Brazil Let Mariah wear whatever she wants. She aint killing nobody. (Thursday 26 June 2014; 3:50)

Faded (45,112) by B from USA I love this song. It needs to be a future single. Make It Look Good, Dedicated, and Meteorite all deserve the single treatment. (Thursday 26 June 2014; 3:23)

Re: Acoustic album (45,111) by jaker20 from US MC is capable of not only a full acoustic album, but a full acoustic concert. Something like MTV unplugged. She did AIWFCIY on Fallon live so effortlessly, and that's just a year and a half ago. Surely 5 songs like that, with interludes and breaks in between, can't be that difficult. I kept imagining her in an acoustic set and I"m there front row. I will pay top money for that. But this feels more and more like wishful thinking. In fact, she's hardly even promoting the album.

Re: Image... to Lee (45,110) by jaker20 from US Why are you obsessed with the topic involving child molestation, sex books and crack? No one brings up these topics, but you seem very interested in this topic. Also, how is MC's image even related to MC's kids getting shipped to her mothers? Did I say MC's career sunk after she met and married Nick? Yes. Did I say MC's career sunk because of Nick? No. Huge difference. If you had actually wanted a decent discussion, you probably would know that artists need to be inspired, and Nick is clearly not one of MC's artistic inspirations. Personal and private inspiration. Maybe. Artistic. No. I still don't know what that subject has to do with sex books, crack and child molestation though. Maybe you can enlighten us? (Thursday 26 June 2014; 1:44)

Must watch - Lego Mariah Carey "Honey" video (45,109) by Bill from the UK Guys, you have to check this out. It's a Lego version of the Honey video. It is absolutely hilarious, literally a frame by frame replica. (Thursday 26 June 2014; 1:41)

Another thing (45,108) by Lee from USA How could Wendell Williams complain about how our girl dresses but spent thousands of dollars trying to look like her? (Thursday 26 June 2014; 0:47)

Relevancy (45,107) by Carlos Belizário from Brazil Why are we still talking about Mariah being relevant or not? Let's take a look in today's pop music. Katy Perry has a rapper called Juicy J on a #1 song with a hip pop influenced record. Ariana Grande is doing her thing and is getting even bigger. If that's not Mariah's relevancy being shown then I don't know what it is. (Wednesday 25 June 2014; 22:04)

Image (45,106) by Lee from USA Jaker, according to you she should break up with Nick and ship the kids to her mother's. When I read people bitch about her image, I start to think about the artists that have done worse than our girl and still are defended. Mimi never was accused of child molestation, smoked crack, abused or chased off any of her spouses or boyfriends, or made a sex book. No federal investigations at Camp Mariah had been launched, and yet she is being bashed about a single cover. (Wednesday 25 June 2014; 19:02)

Acoustic album (45,105) by Billy from England, UK I was thinking the other day, wouldnt it be amazing if she made an acoustic album with some of her big songs, I would love that. (Wednesday 25 June 2014; 17:32)

Me I am Mariah (45,103) by B from USA Memoirs and Mariah's image are to blame for the disappointing sales. MC and Def Jam dropped the ball with the promotion. I hope Mariah and Def Jam work overtime to promote YDKWTD. #Beautiful proved MC's still relevant she just needs a good song and YDKWTD is a great song. Another reason for these sales figures: illegal downloads. Why buy something when you can get it for free? (Wednesday 25 June 2014; 15:44)

No lyrics (45,102) by Martyn from England, UK Nice theory about the lack of lyrics on the inlay, but I think we all know the reason they weren't included is because the album was a rush job at the end. (Wednesday 25 June 2014; 15:07)

#Beautiful (Acoustic Version) (45,101) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter This is amazing. Check it out if you already haven't. (Wednesday 25 June 2014; 13:24)
