Messageboard

The drama (41,995) by Stacey from USA It will always be a unnecessary part of any Mariah messageboard. I've been posting online at various MC messageboards for over a decade. It doesn't matter who calls who a name. Both people are in the wrong. Fans always have a choice. You can ignore things that bother you. The problem is many don't and choose to do the immature thing and throw out a name. I've seen many fans over the years take a contrary opinion to their thoughts as a personal attack. It took me many years to learn that just because a fan disagrees with me doesn't mean they are attacking me personally. I hope more fans will learn the difference and apply it when posting online. Peace. (Thursday 6 March 2014; 1:00)

Pajama pic (41,994) by Musti from UK I love the new pajama pic in the studio. She looks so happy. I have utmost faith in Mariah's gift. Whether she has another hit or not is totally irrelevant to me. There's a reason why I've been a hardcore fan for so many years. Her voice and her music do it like no other. She is music. The countdown to this album is such a torture.

JT and MC (41,993) by B from USA Justin can sing, no sang. A duet between him and Mariah would be heavenly. I was hoping for a duet with Bruno but JT is just as talented. She needs to write with Bruno and his team. (Wednesday 5 March 2014; 18:11)

Week 3 for YME, don't forget to request (41,992) by Blake from USA It appears it is growing at radio. It was added to 40 new stations this week but with no download sales it's probably not enough to rechart. Time is our friend. I just hope Mariah's album A) doesn't get pushed back any effing longer and B) it's a dynamite album regardless of hit singles to please her worse critics: lambs.

All petty things aside (41,991) by Dani from USA The music is still quality work. Recently, I listened to "Triumphant", "Almost Home", "Beautiful", "The Art of Letting Go", and "You're Mine (Eternal)" in succession and all at one sitting. I have to say that it's brilliant work. There's cohesion there that I don't get from other albums. One has to listen to it all as a whole in order to get the best experience possible. I think our problem is when we mull over one song for too long and dismiss it simply because it doesn't become a "hit". We have to stop equating quality with commercial success. I'm guilty of it, for sure, but now that I've listened to those 5 songs, one after the other, I understand what Mariah means when she says she's not done working on the album. Because the truth is, her releases up to now, do in fact reflect a kind of journey, a story. The songs we've heard from this era are definitely leading to something, a trajectory that I can't exactly pinpoint, but I know the overall product will be phenomenal. Cheers.

The drama (41,989) by Brad Catoe from United States Your posts are cracking me up. I love it. Mariah message boards have always been a mess with "lambs". That's why I rarely visit. It's always like we really love Mariah but we hate her hair, her voice, the way she talks, the way she interviews, her perspective, her music, she sings with too many rappers, her music is out dated blah blah blah. Trust me I can critically think and sometimes I don't love everything Mariah does, but I always respect her. She's a mother with two kids who is balancing a demanding career with her family life. I think it's a feat in itself to write music and I think I can say Mimi has never made horrible music. Ok now you can go back to criticizing her and her decades long career. Lol.

Kenny (41,988) by RadChad from United States I 100% agree with you about JT. He's never been the strongest vocalist, I've always thought JC Chasez had the better voice in N'Sync. The only reason Justin was the breakout star is because he's charismatic, worked with the best producers, can really dance, has a decent voice, and is considered attractive. In other words he has the X factor or star quality. I really have no desire to hear him sing with MC. For some reason he seems like an opportunist to me. Even though I am over the whole drama with Janet and how her left MC hanging in 01. There's just something disingenuous about him. (Wednesday 5 March 2014; 2:27)

Stripped (41,987) by enwar00 from usa There's a cool mini concert of Mariah called Stripped that I love and just watched on YouTube again, with my favorite performances of Obsessed and Always Be My Baby that I've seen. I think Mariah, the band and background vocalists all sound awesome and seemed to be on point that day. If anyone hasn't seen this I say check it out, you might like it.

The drama (41,986) by Kenny from Canada Hey, I don't come on here to spark up drama with people, but some lambs on here are really catty and overly sensitive and resort to name calling when someone else disagrees with them. (Wednesday 5 March 2014; 1:26)

The drama (41,985) by Chicago Lamb from USA I have to admit, I come on the site to read the way you "lambs" not-so-nicely spar off on one another. True entertainment. (Tuesday 4 March 2014; 21:17)

Kenny (41,984) by Isaac Ortiz from USA Lol, on the contrary. Nothing you post could offend and upset me. Unless it being something bad about Mariah. I only defended Justin. Also,you want to call me childish? I only called you childish because of the the rude and silly statement you made. That's all. I could care less who agrees with you. I like JT, and that's that. I'm not going to keep going back and fourth with you. I'm not here to be arguing with someone. Post what you want, I won't respond. (Tuesday 4 March 2014; 19:31)

Hey Mariah (41,983) by Joyce from USA It's that voice everyone wants to hear. Not the recent distressed textured or the Faith Evens 1997 inspired faint wispy tones. If you believe that voice is gone then so will it be. But, if you believe you can bring it back, then you will try to regain the power in your voice. You are a young woman, you are gifted and a legend. You came to be a legend solely for that voice. 5 number 1 hits on your very first album and for every year thereafter because of that awe inspiring voice. After you have tried all other gimmicks, all other collaborations and should they fail, it will be that nurtured back to strength voice that will banish all insecurity to you will rise again. However, maybe this time in your life is all about dem babies. Maybe it's time to let this career take a back seat as you spend every moment with these little angels of yours. Maybe your voice on a cosmic all is as it should be with your voice and it's now time to enjoy that rare fairytale ending. You deserve love and happiness and dem babies deserve the beautiful mommy they have. (Tuesday 4 March 2014; 19:09)

Isaac (41,982) by Kenny from Canada If you took offense to what I said and called me a name then you're the one being the childish [censored] who needs to grow up. I explained why I didn't like his music and your counter argument is that I'm being childish. Really? Obviously some people on this forum agree with my opinion as well. The problem I have with JT is not just what he's done in the past but also with his voice. Mostly his voice, I can't get over that nasal tone that he has. Sorry if the truth hurts. (Tuesday 4 March 2014; 18:42)

Mimi L. / Kenny (41,981) by Isaac Ortiz from USA Thank you Mimi, I agree 100%. I gave you a thumbs up, lol. But Kenny, to state/reference that you threw up in your mouth is really a silly statement, childish and being a [censored]. So grow up, but if that's how you feel, hey that's you. I'm not going to argue about it. I would agree that John Legend and Robin Thicke are both good singers, but I personally think that Robin is the only male singer other than George Michael of course that gives Justin competition. Usher is okay, not really a fan, and same goes for Bruno, though I do like one or two of his songs and believe in time his vocals will improve. So many people still have hard feelings on how Justin did Mariah back in 2002, and it's silly, that was 12 years ago. I really don't think that a collaboration on the song "Yours" would have worked anyways. Everyone has a right to fell the way they do, but no one can deny that the man is talented and can sing. (Tuesday 4 March 2014; 18:16)

Next single (41,980) by B from USA Mariah should have both David Guetta and David Morales remix her next single or You're Mine. Carey should re-record her vocals for these remixes like she did in the 90's. The Guetta remix would be EDM which would appeal to teens of today and the Morales remix would be for the lambs and the gay clubs. (Tuesday 4 March 2014; 16:07)

Isaac re JT (41,979) by Kenny from Canada "...has probably one of the best male voices in music (my opinion)". Not hating on JT but I just threw up a little in my mouth lol. If you like music with weak and nasal vocals and overproduced Timbaland beats, then good on you - who am I to judge? But in the realm of male singers I would compare him to Jennifer Lopez. He depends on the beats and production to carry him through a song. His voice on its own would not draw any attention. That said, I did like his last album though. What I consider great contemporary male singers are John Legend, Usher, Maxwell, Bruno Mars, Robin Thicke, Adam Lambert - now that boy can really sing (even though I don't care for any of his songs). (Tuesday 4 March 2014; 15:57)

JT (41,978) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter It's one thing to not like JT's behavior/attitude, and how he was a douche to Mariah, Janet and Britney, but to claim that he is a bad singer is completely wrong. He's probably one of the best male vocalist of our generation. I am not a huge JT fan, I have listened to only some of his work, but I have to say he is a very good singer and all the songs of his that I heard were really good. What he does in his personal time is not my business, but he is a good singer and I think him and Mariah can have great vocal chemistry. (Tuesday 4 March 2014; 15:47)

Re Clueey23 thoughts (41,955) (41,977) by Terna from Nigeria I love your posts, reading them one can tell you're not a fan who blindly supports each and everything Mariah does, but at the same time you're constructive in your criticisms and optimistic, even when things seem bleak. There's been way too much negatity on this board lately and your posts are indeed a breath of fresh air. (Tuesday 4 March 2014; 12:32)

The Voice (41,976) by Darryle from USA Why doesn't Mariah perform on The Voice? Look what it did for Say Something, that song is only so big because it was on The Voice and Christina. If Mariah were to perform YM(E) live it could sky rocket. (Tuesday 4 March 2014; 11:36)

clueey23 (41,975) by enwar00 from usa I love love love Two Eleven, every single track. So much potential. Started of with a bang, everything on point, then I don't get what happened. We think Mariah promo gets shafted, that was even worse. (Tuesday 4 March 2014; 5:25)

Isaac (41,974) by clueey23 from USA I believe she was referring to Walter A. on Bravo. When she talked about writing the song and Walter A. coming up with an idea for a chord change or something. Just YouTube it and correct me if I'm wrong. The interview with Andy Cohen was perfection in my opinion. MCs interviews as of late have been if anything, informative. (Tuesday 4 March 2014; 4:04)

(41,973) by Joyce from USA Mark my words, no matter who Mariah works with, what’s she is wearing or whatever else she is doing, when that "voice" gets out of 10 year bed rest, reinvigorates itself with the strength that some with training and workouts, she will be on top again. That confident Mariah will sing live again and she will gain momentum again. Until then, her stock price in marketability and relevance will continue to fall. (Tuesday 4 March 2014; 1:33)

Wow Butterfly (a capella) (41,972) by Mara from United States Ok fellow lambs, please go and listen to this. I have no idea where it came from but it is just pure heavenly bliss, angelic, heavenly. Honestly, I'm sorry there just is [...] that will [...] compare to Miss Mariah Carey [...]. Sure she may not sound the same as before but come on, she has been using that voice since her teens. She still, either in studio or whatever, has that voice. I don't care if it is [...] of what it was, Mariah's voice was that good. I hope we all agree, I would think so as we are all on here for the same reason. But please listen. (Tuesday 4 March 2014; 0:57)

Double album (41,971) by Brad from USA Hi lambs. I hope everyone is well and treating each other well. It occurs to me that the singles we received to date from this "new era" are essentially the remnants of a shelved album that MC once delivered to her label (Triumphant, Almost Home, TAOLG, Youre Mine). I am not so sure about "The Art of Letting Go". I think MC felt she had to release that particular track once the intended title of the album was leaked and it was subsequently decided that the album would be shelved. She knew she couldnt include it as a track in the album that eventually gets released but didn't want it to never be heard since it is a relatively strong vocal performance. Anyhow, I have a feeling that our girl will be very busy recrafting this album over the next month or so. I don't think it will resemble the album that was shelved last summer/fall. Be well.

Clueey23 (41,970) by Isaac Ortiz from USA Walter is wrong for taking 50% of "AIWFCIY"? No, he's not. How and when he wrote some of the song? Mariah didn't write all of it herself. He had every right to take 50%. It was fair. Anyone who helps an artist write a song is entitled to their share and deserves credict and acknowledgment. Also,I happen to like Brandy. "Full moon" and "Long distance" are some of my favorite songs. And her last album was good. She's so talented and pretty nice and can sing. I don't know much of Mike though. Hopefully he produced something good. I wish Mariah would ditch the whole rap/hip hop techniques and go back to her roots because as Joyce stated it's getting old where are the beautiful songs like "Can't let go", "Just to hold you once again", "One sweet day", "Whenever you call", "When you believe". I'm grateful for "Fly like a bird", "I wish you well" (one of my favorites), "Angels cry" but some of us want ballads. "You're mine" just doesn't measure up the way "Beautiful" does, but hopefully there will be some on the new album because I saw an interview of Mariah saying there will be some.
