JLo observation (44,862) by Will from Australia What's going on in the music world? We've all critiqued Mariah's lack of promotion but JLo was nearly everywhere including the World Cup and American Idol and sells half of that Mariah did? She also had all that press coverage with her break up. She's also a lot sexier looking than Mariah right now but it made no difference. Now there's no debating the talent but for someone who you'd think was popular right now, to sell 25k in her first week is astonishing. Maybe once you hit 40 you're done? Maybe we've been too harsh on Mariah. (Wednesday 18 June 2014; 10:28)

Not again / Edward / Brett ratner (44,861) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Oh wow another version of "fair weather fans" and lambs debate yet again. *yawn* Edward I love your post lol, got me laughing. Anyways so has it been confirmed that Brett is directing a music video? Or just the commercial? If it's the music video, I am so excited. I don't care if it's Thirsty or YDKWTD. (Or both? Please? Pretty please?) I have been ranting on about Mariah working with Brett again since we saw the disastrous music videos she has released this era so yay. (Wednesday 18 June 2014; 8:57)

Nadia Ciasullo (44,860) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Thanks a bunch dahling. (Wednesday 18 June 2014; 8:51)

Fan or lamb (44,859) by Gilles from Malta Ok I have decided to not be a lamb anymore but a real big fan. Fans are nic,e they appreciate MC for her talent, her music her work and everything. Lambs are just too greedy, never satisfied and OOC (out of control) and spread negativity. My choice is done. If you don't like her [...]. (Wednesday 18 June 2014; 8:23)

Nadia / why MC isn't as popular (44,858) by Marissa from USA Regarding your JLo comment, I agree that it is unfair that JLo is more popular at this point than MC. People (the younger generation in particular) are not fascinated by JLo because of her music, but her fashion sense and amazing body. Sadly, that translates better to the younger generation than meaningful songs. It's shallow that we live in a world like this, but even if the only thing Mariah did was get her body in check she'd probably see more success. When MC had her E=MC2 body, it was considered cool to be a fan because many people thought she was hot. Sad, but true. It seems like there's no more effective way to get the general public's attention but to look your best at all times. (Wednesday 18 June 2014; 6:29)

She's not losing (44,857) by Jonathan from United States Apparently according to Forbes Mariah and Jay-Z are both doing beverages and they will make more than they would from albums. Maybe that's why she doesn't care how the album sales and she did a private concert in France, where she she sang Emotions very well. (Wednesday 18 June 2014; 6:11)

Cracking up (44,856) by Marissa from USA Edward, way to give these "positive" lambs a taste of their own medicine. Lmao. Maybe now some people will see how ridiculous they look when they're in denial about an era that's clearly a mess. If anyone accuses me of being negative again I'm gonna take the same approach lol. (Wednesday 18 June 2014; 6:01)

Nadia (44,855) by Gilbert from USA Thank you so much, at least now it's idea of what's she's saying. Thanks again. (Wednesday 18 June 2014; 5:15)

Lyrics (44,854) by Isabelle from USA The site where I could find the lyrics for MIAMTEC is at Mariah Carey Network. They have all the lyrics for the album but It's A Wrap doesn't have the verses where Mary sings on, it's just the copied and paste from MOAIA. (Wednesday 18 June 2014; 4:56)

Sarcasm (44,853) by MCLAFAN from USA The "positivity sarcasm" response, really? What a welcoming messageboard. "There are people called haters and we give them positivity." (Wednesday 18 June 2014; 3:47)

First post here, MC fan from NY State since 1990 (44,852) by Ty from USA Hi everyone. I've been coming to this site for years, and this is my first post. I love the new album. It is a true work of art. I think Mariah definitely out-did herself. The throwback tracks, discoesque beats, killer ballads, she even has gospel on it. Not thrilled with the IAW remix but all MC's songs are good. Just some are better than others. My top 5 from MIAM... TEC are: 5. YMILG 4. Camouflage 3. Faded 2. Heavenly 1. YDKWTD. I hope it's a single. It'd be cool to see a live album (perhaps another unplugged?). And not another compilation. Idk any lamb/true MC fan would insult her on here. And I respect opinions but regardless of the press, regardless of the charts (it'd be wonderful to see her dominate again though), I find her to be still as relevant, just as classy, just as talented now as she was then. She still has her voice. And she is older, experienced, and wiser. She knows what's going on and I trust she has a contingency plan for if this didn't sell well. But idk where they're getting their numbers. I bought two copies myself. And the album didn't sell well? Shame on the lambs who didn't buy it (I thought there were millions of us, not less than 100K). Yeah it was late, and there are probably dozens of reasons we will never know, but it's a great album, well worth the wait. Maybe this ain't over with though. Maybe a part 2? Anyone feel me on this?

MCLAFAN honeybunch (44,851) by Edward from USA First of all, I'm not taking things overboard, I'm just tired of some fans here telling other fans what to think, say or do. Opinions are like the anus, everybody has one. They are opinions and everybody is entitled to them as long as they are not offensive to Mariah. Let people be frustrated, happy or whatever, believe me when I tell you that the webmaster will edit out inappropriate posts, and those posts disrespecting Mariah won't be posted. This messagaboard has been this way for 16 years, and that's what makes it unique. We can be happy, frustrated, euphoric, but we can also be realistic and express our opinions about what we like or not about Mariah's music. We don't just hold hands and praise everything Mariah here, we have concerns and opinions that we cannot express anywhere else without being stoned to death. If you don't like a post, don't read it, as simple as that. (Wednesday 18 June 2014; 2:23)

Hits Daily Double (44,850) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands According to Hits Daily Double, this week Me. I Am Mariah... The Elusive Chanteuse is at #41 with 7,951 copies sold (-44%). (Wednesday 18 June 2014; 1:07)

Video shoot in Paris (44,849) by Keagon michael from USA Looks like Bret R. is filming a new video for our precious MC. I hope it's YDKWTD but rumor has it its actually Thirsty to help her Walgreen's beverage. I hope it's only a commercial for Thirsty and an actual single for YDKWTD. I have no interest in sugar drinks. That ship sailed long ago for me, I only drink H2O. I wish Mariah would perform "Cry" on Ellen and "Make it look good" on Fallon. I am just saying.

Messageboard (44,847) by Mike RC from Spain It's like the first time ever I join a messageboard, I've never found one that I really feel like joining until I found this one. Been a lamb since 1993 and I really like reading you guys, positive and "negative" stuff about Mariah. Our girl and her team are not perfect, and it's so difficult to find real lambs in real life that it's so relieving to be able to discuss stuff here. So please, while we respect each other and Mariah, please continue to share your thoughts, good or bad, because I really enjoy them all. (Tuesday 17 June 2014; 22:36)

Re: MCLAFAN (44,846) by G.G. from USA If you don't like a post, stop reading. It's as simple as that. I stopped reading your post halfway through because I didn't like where it was going and have heard all that noise before. It's a pretty simple thing to do actually, just choose to stop reading. As far as negativity goes, your message was edited quite a bit by the webmaster, so it must not have all been sunshine and roses. (Tuesday 17 June 2014; 20:35)

Edward dahling (44,843) by MCLAFAN from USA Quit taking it overboard [...]. Focus on something else for a change. You just wasted 3 minutes of your life thinking up the perfect response to post on here. [...] I didn't say be more positive and post nothing but positive things. [...] Don't skim read messages and then reply in the heat of the moment. (Tuesday 17 June 2014; 19:47)

Lyrics Thirsty end part (44,842) by nancy from Switzerland Living in the lights I dream of fancy cars like superstars Don't know who you are That vip who offered you a seat Up inside the club and it be constantly Can't get the real man Cuz boy you're thirsty yeah yeah (Tuesday 17 June 2014; 19:12)

Negative comments on the messageboard / please stop (44,841) by Edward from USA Since we need to be positive, and more than positive, real lambs, we need to start discussing positive things about this era and Mariah, like: How great the promotion for MIAMTEC has been, and how Mariah posts pics on Instagram, but doesn't say anything about what's going on. To follow the positivity of my fellow real fans, or should I say lambs? Today I got the wonderful Lollipop Bling perfume, and 20 bottles of the Butterfly drink, yes, that drink that talks to you when you drink it and tells you what is going on with promotion, and when a new single will be released. As real lambs, it's imperative that we all buy many copies of the nail polish today, that's very positive and engaging. It is very positive to paint our nails in different colors. And for those negative fans that won't stop talking about Mariah's voice and such, you should be ashamed of yourselves, just like our beloved Isaac Ortiz once said, the voice is there just like the first day, you should all clean your ears, how dare you talking about laser treatment? And last but not least, as a real and positive lambs, you should know that Migrate should've been a single, thank God I remembered that one, only positive and real lambs like me know that one.

"Grown up fan" (44,840) by MCLAFAN from USA I'm a "grown up fan". I've been a fan since 1995 and would've been a fan since 1990 but my city didn't have any top 40 stations until around 1995. It says a lot about someone when they make assumptions about an artist without taking into consideration that they are real people with real lives and real problems. Do you all recall her talking about putting up that "wall" in the Matt Lauer interview? I think she's got some things going on right now and I will never assume or go off and a "tangent" about what MC needs to do or not do. Shes been the top chick in the game since 1990, I'm pretty sure she knows how things look right now. (Tuesday 17 June 2014; 18:48)

Getting it twisted (44,839) by MCLAFAN from USA Some of you all have gotten my message all twisted up. Quit getting your panties in a wad. I clearly stated the over posting of negative comments is annoying. If you can read then you saw where I said I have opinions as well and I admit Mariah is not perfect, especially here lately. But I'm not gonna make every post sound like I'm bashing her and then end it with a nice "but I love the album". [...] Go to the MariahCarey.com boards and create your own topic if that's all you people wanna do. If you really follow Mariah and [...] know her from day one then you know there is a reason for everything she does. She has babies and a husband and [...] since Nick is busy all summer with AGI and his movie, maybe she's trying to be a good mom and be around for the kids and not traveling and dragging her kids all over the world.

Bill from Uk (44,838) by Lamb_O_Chop from Australia I wasn't really expecting an apology, but I do appreciate you doing so. I understand your point and I assure you as a fair "lamb" I know how to decifer the difference between a mature constructive discussion regarding MC and someone just being negative and disparaging. I just don't want a negative connotation to start being asscociated with being a "lamb". I would hate for a term or endearment that Mariah has given us to turn into something "bad" or "shameful". It's a messageboard so differences in opinions are inevitable. What's a message board without diversity? But at the end of the day we should all still maintain a level of respect for not only Mariah, but each other as fans, lambs, or whatever term fits you best as a person with Mariah's best interest. (Tuesday 17 June 2014; 17:37)

Nadia Ciasullo (44,837) by Gilbert from USA Please please please, can you share with the fans on the ad-libs that she adds towards the end of Thirsty. This is the second post I've seen which mentioned you got the lyrics but no one has responded to my request. (Tuesday 17 June 2014; 16:58)

Lamb O Chop (44,836) by Bill from the UK I apologise, but I'm exasperated. You can't have a decent discussion here without a "lamb" (for want of a better word) elbowing their way into the conversation and calling us negative. There's nothing negative about what the grown up fans discuss here whatsoever. We talk about concerns and irregularities and things which don't sit right with us. That's not being negative, but just coming here to talk to like minded people (as there are no Mariah fans in "real life" seemingly, this is the only place to say what's on our minds and get feedback on it). I'm tired of walking on egg shells here through fear of being lynched if I say a live performance wasn't that great. As I mentioned there are plenty of forums etc. for praise and worship of Mariah, but this message board's appeal is it's sensible members and realistic topic discussions. I don't want to see that go away because we all get yelled at when saying something constructive. (Tuesday 17 June 2014; 16:48)
