Nikki and Giselle (41,372) by Licia from USA I would not have gotten none of that. I only know one little mermaid. Lmao. (Sunday 16 February 2014; 3:25)

Charts (41,371) by Jeremey Carey from United States We can't worry about the charts until after the song is fully released to radio, and the BET performance and more performances, then they take streaming into count and we're almost at a million views. Keep streaming lambs. I'm more than confident that this song will impact radios well. (Everyone request your local stations.) I remember all the bad things that were said about Beautiful and it went to 15. It was the perfect way to start the party. You're Mine is a perfect ballad at this time of the year. And after this goes top 20 (hopefully #1 lol) the next uptempo release will definitely ice the cake. (Thirsty maybe?) Please lambs, even if you don't like the song please support it to the best of your ability. Mariah needs us now more than ever. Please vote for the remix video for 106&Park. Reaching younger audiences is essential. (Sunday 16 February 2014; 2:44)

Thirsty (41,370) by Justin from USA - Los Angeles Sounds like a sexual song. Or she is just talking about herself. Jk. (Sunday 16 February 2014; 2:29)

Charts (41,369) by Darryle from USA 98 now. Come on Mariah, you've got to promote it more like soon. The lambs can only buy so many copies. (Sunday 16 February 2014; 2:01)

Nikki (41,367) by Ms. Giselle from USA When I read your post all I could do was laugh lol. I didn't even realize that and now I get it but. Had Mariah and Trey scenes were together and they interacted together, I think we all would have gotten that. All we see is Mariah sitting in one spot hands over her breast. They should of shot scenes together. I know Trey couldn't go to P.R., but I wish they shot some scenes where how they meet and fell in love. Where Mariah got her "legs" and he left her and she poofs into gold dust lol. (Sunday 16 February 2014; 1:42)

No creativity is dense fans (41,366) by nikki from usa I finally got Mariah as a Little Mermaid. I've been waiting for MC to be in a music video as a mermaid. Now, for those of you who are unaware of the original story before Disney came around: a mermaid fell in love with a boy and traded her fins to be with him. In the end, he didn't want her, she was heartbroken naturally, but this came at a price. She lost her life and turned into sea foam. In this music video, instead of foam, Mariah turns to gold glitter. You can see it starts off subtle on her and gains toward the end. At the last scene, you see him tossing and turning in bed, the sheets are covered in gold glitter. If ever there was proof that Mariah has a lot of intelligence, creativity, and an understanding of symbolism this is it. It also goes to show how very shallow people can be who are so obsessed with what she is or isn't wearing that they completely miss the point and subject matter altogether.

#97 on iTunes (41,365) by Blake from USA Not looking to chart well. (Sunday 16 February 2014; 0:32)

Thirsty (41,364) by Danny Braden from Uk Did Mariah mention she has a track on the new album called Thirsty? I hope so, it sounds so fresh. I imagine it's like Migrate. (Saturday 15 February 2014; 23:44)

You're Mine remix with Trey (41,363) by Ms. Giselle from USA The record label should really push this version. I love this one better in my opinion. Maybe it's because I'm single now and I've wanted/liked Trey, but when he sings "stop that part"' mmm so sexy. He brought the sexiness to the record. I want to buy the video now. Lol. Just for Trey. (Saturday 15 February 2014; 23:02)

Dance remixes iTunes? (41,362) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Anyone know if the single will be available to download Tuesday? Nice to "see" you Stacey, I was curious what your thoughts were. Funny thing, I found out another artist I really like is also releasing their album May 6th. Looks like that's going to be a great day for new music at my house lol. (Saturday 15 February 2014; 22:04)

No creativity (41,361) by Lyric from USA Well I'm glad most of us can agree on the fact that Mariah could benefit from a creative director of some sort, someone to pass over some new innovative ideas. Her look, videos, song themes and style have been the same for at least ten years. Now I'm really yearning for the WBT video. It had a great storyline and it wasn't vanity shots and glitter. Mariah might be the type that doesn't like change but if people are getting bored, she needs to try some new ideas. If you look at some less talented artists in the business, they are always changing something, whether its their hair or their fashions. Now if they had some of Mariah's talent, and she had some of their visual ideas, I'd be extremely pleased. These vanity videos just aren't pleasant. (Saturday 15 February 2014; 21:13)

You're Mine (Eternal) (41,360) by Stacey from USA First post since Eric introduced the up/down feature. Now I'll really get to see what you all think of me, lol. I've been busy with three kids and sick with a cold. How's that for a Valentine's present? Anyway, I like the song. I even like the RnB remix. Almost sounds better as a duet. But, I like both versions. The stacato verse reminds me of Your Girl and Heartbreaker choruses. I like how she goes back and forth between soft and full vocals. It's where she's at her best rather than whispering all the time or belting for that matter. A mix of her amazing voice is what works, IMO. The video? I just laughed at the part where she moves her arm to cover up the "girls" better. I'll leave it at that. I'll say that having all the material ready to go when the single is released is a nice change. I'm glad to see her working with other singers rather than having a rapper guest star on a remix. I also thought with the title, You're Mine, it was going to be some mushy love song. To see it be a song about lost love, wanting that person back ala WBT was nice. The remixes are nice, but why is she only singing the final chorus all throughout the remix? I wished she would have resung the verses and included them too. All and all, this is a great start. I can't wait for May 6th. (Saturday 15 February 2014; 20:41)

Licia (41,359) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Yes, you were right about the second day interviews. It was way better and professional yet funny. That's the real Mariah we all know and love. So when people tried to say that the "rambling Mariah moment" was her usual routine, it's not the truth, this is why I referred back to 2005-2009 era when her interviews were funny, witty and professional. I am glad she took note and fixed herself up for the next round of interviews. I just get frustrated because I don't know about her, but I desperately want her to be back at #1, I hate how talentless people are mass producing what seems to be like the same song with different lyrics (yes I know they are not the same, dahlin') while people like Mariah who actually make real music are given the backseat. That doesn't sit well with me. Not the slightest bit. (Saturday 15 February 2014; 17:44)

Mimi L (41,358) by Licia from USA That's why I ask why no one was talking about the other interviews that she did. Everyone keeps going on and on about the Breakfast Club interview, but no one said anything about the other ones that were better. I just assumed people just wanted something to complain about and they didn't bother to watch or listen to the others. (Saturday 15 February 2014; 17:28)

Letting go (41,356) by Lamb_O_Chop from Australia Okay so we get it already everybody's appalled and disappointed in Mariah now. Talk about overkill bashing. How many of you never indulged in a drink and behaved differently before? How many of you never made comments about people you don't care for too much? How many of you are human? I'm sure more than half of you that are complaining the hardest are the main ones that act worse than Mariah when you had a drink of sometime or just in general. It's been three freaking days people, please find another hobby and stop acting like Mariah's killed somebody, has been involved in 5 hit and run car accidents, and left them babies in the car by themselves for three hours while she went to the liquor store. None of this is that serious. I am amazed at how so many people (who I never see posting on an ordinary day), come out of the woodworks with their pitchforks only to crucify Mariah when she does something they don't like. It's clear that some of you were once fans that completely turned against her and now you only have negative vent-ful things to express about her. (I know I've checked some of you all's message history and some of you have only posted negative things on this messageboard not even one positive message you know who you are), it's a thin line between love and hate. I can respect an honest critique, and I'm not saying you shouldn't express disappointment sometimes. But when it gets to a point that all you ever do is complain and can't even post one positive thing about Mariah on her "fan site" then you need to just realize you're not a fan anymore and let go. I love Mariah for better or worse, it's an unconditional love and though I agreed with somethings posted, it's unnecessary to go on this tangent for this long. Let it go and acknowledge when she redeems herself. (Saturday 15 February 2014; 17:23)

Second day interviews (41,355) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah seems to have gotten back to form for the interviews after that day, I just got to watch them today and she not only looks gorgeous (and dressed properly), she didn't stray away off topic and gave informative answers. All her interviews need to be like these. Like the BET 106 & Park moment, she was her usual funny self but she talked about the song as much as she could in that time frame. That's the MC we all want. It brought a smile to my face instead of a cringe. (Saturday 15 February 2014; 17:02)

Twitter pics (41,354) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah looks so effortlessly sexy in those pics. She looks nothing close to 40 and can easily pass off as half that age. I was going through each and I was like wow, that's gorgeous. (Saturday 15 February 2014; 16:40)

Interviews (41,353) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter For people who claim Mariah is sick of answering the same questions, here are two points. Number 1. A celebrity of Mariah's level has the ability to instruct the interviewer (through her agent) about exactly what questions they can ask her and what they can't. If she can demand that her own camera angle expert will be standing next to the show's camera man to make sure that they don't film her from the wrong angle, you can be more than sure she has control over what questions she will be asked, so she definitely doesn't mind the questions. Number 2. These often asked questions are things that needs to be asked again and again because not everyone knows about her past/present. Suppose a non lamb tunes into a random show and M is there, he/she would need a little introduction, that's how new people become fan and/or get information. So every interviewer kinda has to ask these because suppose she answered something in Radio A, it's not necessary that everyone on the planet listened to it, so she has to say it in Radio B as well to get her message across to people. I watch Ellen, I don't watch Oprah, so if Oprah asked something which M answered I would not know it, as I don't watch the show. Simple as that. It's M's work, her job, she makes a living from it.

Roc and Roe / St. Jude performance (41,352) by Licia from USA Those Valentines pics with the kids are the cutest. Even the pics Mariah took waiting on Nick were cute. Does anyone know when the St. Jude performance is? Has that already happened? I know they picked a winner, but I haven't heard or seen anything else about the event. (Saturday 15 February 2014; 16:11)

A few thoughts (41,351) by Jay from USA I totally agree with Alex from England. I don't know how people don't realize this. Even though she says she doesn't have "yes people" around her, she may not realize it. And I don't think IDJ supports her the way she would like them to. And I love the remixes. My favorite is the Kurd Maverick remix. I wish she and David Morales would work together again. (Saturday 15 February 2014; 16:03)

Opinion of You're Mine from a non-lamb (41,350) by Eternal from Italy So today I asked my other half his opinion of Mariah's latest single when we heard it on the radio. It came on so suddenly while we were in the car, and he wondered if it was an old song of hers. He's usually quite critical of Mariah's latest efforts, but surprisingly, he liked You're Mine and thought that the music was simple but very listenable and even reminiscent of some of her best works in the past. That last whistle note reminded everyone why Mariah is Mariah, and the only negative thing he noted was the number of vocal effects like echo and reverb applied to her voice in certain parts. But he also noticed that the verses were simply arranged, and how she was singing almost in acapella sometimes. That made me think about the lambs' current debate over this single. Could we be too harsh on Mariah because we've listened to so many of her songs, and our expectations are unusually high? To a normal non-Mariah fan, they have nothing but good things to say about YM. The sound and vocals are typically Mariah, and it's so catchy and romantic, perfect for V-Day. I'm even loving the song more with each listen. (Saturday 15 February 2014; 15:07)

Another theory (41,349) by Darryle from USA Another theory on why Mariah has been acting diva like is that she's going through menopause. Yeah I know it's an incredibly long shot but maybe. If she is the menopause could make be making her have mood swings or want to drink more. I've seen it it happens it will do things to you. I'm in no way saying that is if she is going through it her behavior is excused because they have pills for menopause that help control it. (Saturday 15 February 2014; 14:22)

Her interviews (41,348) by James (Twiggy) from United Kingdom Some people need to give it a break. Mariah is hilarious. She's an entertainer and that's exactly what she's doing. Take it with a pinch of salt, I'm pretty sure she is. I'd rather sit and watch her interviews than the bog standard interviews you get from most celebrities. Hers are off the collar and unexpected. Which is great. She's been in the business for almost 25 years now and done countless interviews. She's probably so bored of answering the same questions over and over. How music changed her life, what's her opinion on this celebrity and this trend, Who is the real Mariah etc etc. We all know these answers. She's just changing it up a bit. I appreciate it. (Saturday 15 February 2014; 14:01)

Diva interviews (41,347) by Darryle from USA So this is what I hope to be my last comment about Mariah's diva attitude during her interviews. I think during all the promo interviews on the first day Mariah was acting like a diva because it was the first day. It had been almost a full year since Mariah had released an actual single and she just wanted to let loose and have fun. So she treated the first day interviews like a welcome back party, welcoming herself back into music. If you look at the interviews she's done the after the first day they are more more serious and she's much more down to earth. Just my opinion. (Saturday 15 February 2014; 13:58)

Paul from the USA (41,346) by Jenny from South Africa Hi Paul. Actually I think she still does her bit for charity. The whole private concert/heart chain is to raise money for charity. Dembabies.com raises money for the Fresh Air Fund if I'm not mistaken. (Saturday 15 February 2014; 12:19)
