First time ever (best day of my life) (42,339) by Carlos Jaramillo from USA I was 13 years old and was at my aunts house with my Jehovah's witness family for dinner. We weren't really allowed to be very exuberant or expressive but, being the young, brewing gay boy that I was, I was stopped in my tracks in the hallway on my way from the rest room to the living room where everyone was. Emotions was playing loudly. I vividly remember opening the door to the bathroom as she hit the first high note of the song. I was only 13, didn't understand the complexities of the human "voice", but was instantly mesmerized. I remember I stayed tucked in the hallway dancing around like a maniac, hoping not to get caught and beat.. Lol (oh life lol). I just remember thinking "power, how does she use so much power? Also, I never really thought about vocal runs and melisma at that point but the flexibility she demonstrated in that song, even as a little boy, I understood was immeasurable. Obsessed ever since then. Lol. (Wednesday 26 March 2014; 17:42)

Stream (Ryan from Canada) (42,337) by Carlos Jaramillo from USA I'm taking your advise. I just started streaming the song at work right now. There is a great majority that come on here as "lambs" to talk caca about Mariah's successes. Lets stop talking caca and take action. Please stream the song, then post that you participated in helping elevate our queen. (Wednesday 26 March 2014; 17:34)

The first time (42,336) by Twisterman from Brazil In 95 I was 14 and a friend showed me Without You. I had little contact with the English language, but the lyrics and music touched me. To my delight I discovered that my sister had the album Muisc Box and Daydream (I picked up to hear hidden). I took Without You to school in English class and did my class sang the song hehehe. In this period I found "I've been thinking about you" and thought, "There may be more beautiful letter than that?" Passion at first sight and have been since then. (Wednesday 26 March 2014; 17:16)

First time (42,335) by Chicago Lamb from USA "Vision of Love" on radio was playing with heavy rotation, and even as a slow dance closer in night clubs (I was under-aged). I didn't fall in love untill I saw the video for VOL. From that moment Mariah became my life long obsession. I watched the VHS of "The first vision" every day after school for about a year. I've seen her sing live numerous times and have met her personally three times. (Wednesday 26 March 2014; 16:20)

Re: Stephen (42,334) by ss from Canada Nice, what era did your pop art comprise of? Thanks. I really like that pic as well, reminds me of a Warhol inspired piece. I have a thing for incomplete portraits, leaves a lot of mystery and desire. That's why I love when Mariah covers part of her face with her hair, looks super sexy, a lot of celebrities can't pull that look off. She's totally the human Jessica Rabbit and I love her for finally bringing that to life lol. (Wednesday 26 March 2014; 16:08)

First time I heard Mariah (42,333) by Pablo from Spain I had heard a few songs from Mariah, but nothing had really caught hardcore with me. Then, being 11-12 during the Music Box ever, I had heard "Dreamlover" and "Hero" so much that I still don't like those songs. Then she released Without You and I loved it. I couldn't stop listening to it. Then that Christmas came along with AIWFC and then the next year Fantasy. I remember getting so excited when my clock radio woke up one day and I heard "Fantasy". I knew it was Mariah before they said so. Ever since, she's been my fave. Antonio, since you're from Spain and I've been living here six years (now in Bilbao where she filmed Sweetheart), do you know if she's ever had a number one song on 40 Principales? I haven't heard "You're Mine" yet here. I didn't know Through The Rain was number one. (Wednesday 26 March 2014; 14:06)

Nick (42,332) by Darryle from USA I don't understand all the Nick hate. I mean, I agree he shouldn't share details like their marriage is kept alive with lots if sex, but other than that he's cool. I think he's perfect for Mariah because they balance each other out. Nick is loose, open, and fun and Mariah is serious and fairly reserved with her personal life. Nick brings out the fun Mariah that you'd see in videos like "Touch my body" or "Obsessed". Mariah brings out the serious business man in Nick the guy you'd see running Nickelodeon or hosting the Halo Awards. They're a match made in heaven. (Wednesday 26 March 2014; 12:10)

You're Mine (Eternal) (42,331) by Lainsky from Philippines Yey. For the first time I heard this song of Mariah from the hottest station in the country thrice in four hours. It slowly gaining popularity here so I hope it is the same in the radio stations in the US. Well just sharing. (Wednesday 26 March 2014; 10:58)

The first time I heard about Mariah (42,330) by Antonio from Spain I think this would be a fun topic to discuss, what do you think, lambs? The first time I heard about our very loved MC was in the very late 1990's or very early 2000's, my cousin had recorded Music Box in a cassette, and my aunt was like "Don't you know who Mariah Carey is?" Lol. "Heartbreaker" was the first MC video I remember watching, but I had no idea of the "Rainbow" album, and btw, I was like 6 years old by then. I do remember the Glitter era, though, I remember seeing the CD in music stores and I loved the cover and I wanted it, and I also remember seeing the TV advert for the film. "Hero" and "Through the Rain" were the first two Mariah songs I really listened to, as "TTR" was on heavy rotation on a Spanish Music TV Channel (no wonder the song debuted at #1 on the Spanish Singles Chart) and "Hero" had been covered in a local singing competition show. "Charmbracelet" and "Through the Rain" were my first MC album and single. Tell me about the first time you heard about our queen. (Wednesday 26 March 2014; 10:49)

I can't stand Nick (42,329) by Anonymous from Yep. I'm a Mariah fan, I'll always support her but I really can't stand Nick Cannon, ughh grrrr bahhh. I'm so tired of his shh like always talking about their intimate things with Mariah, making those "stu..d" videos that he called music, now doing whiteface. It's just too much. Actually I really think that Mariah is getting tired of him too, at least, in her latest interviews she made it clear for a moment, she was like "oh yeah, Nick and his things". But if she is happy with him, it's ok. (Wednesday 26 March 2014; 3:08)

Nick Cannon doing whiteface (42,328) by Cheryl Jones from American I think nothing ain't wrong with acting funny, it's like a good sense of humor Nick Cannon has. I love him as a brother in Christ just like I love his wife Mariah Carey as a sister in Christ. They are some good people. They are not racist, do you people know the definition of this word? I'm not you sure you do. [Definition: Racism is actions, practices or beliefs, or social or political systems that consider different races to be ranked as inherently superior or inferior to each other, based on presumed shared inheritable traits, abilities, or qualities.] (Wednesday 26 March 2014; 2:28)

Stream (42,327) by Ryan from Canada Hi all. I really feel that we should be steaming YME as much as we can now that it is gaining momentum. Instead of listening to the copy you purchased on iTunes you should stream the song to push it up the chart so more people have a chance to hear it and enjoy it. (Wednesday 26 March 2014; 1:55)

Album title? (42,326) by PeterB from UK Does anyone have any idea of the album title? (Wednesday 26 March 2014; 1:52)

You're Mine on UK TV (42,325) by Holly from UK Wow, I was flipping through the UK music channels an hour ago and Flava (yes this is how it's spelt, lol) were playing "You're Mine (Eternal)" remix video on their Sickest Beatz programme. This is the first time I've seen it on TV and a great sign. (Tuesday 25 March 2014; 23:08)

Chart performance (42,324) by Chicago Lamb from USA We can't expect Mariah's singles to shoot immediately to #1. She has been around too long and those days are over. However, with a good song and proper promotion she can and will achieve chart success. YME is a decent song and is proving to be a slow burner. Let's hope it keeps climbing and will be in a good position for the album release. (Tuesday 25 March 2014; 17:26)

Not having an album is like a baby without a bottle (42,323) by Me. I am Carly from USA I am happy that You're Mine is moving up also, I knew it would and that is thanks to all the promotion Mariah did on radio. The negativity and the back and forth about Mariah just feels like a lot of frustration. The lambs love Mariah but are just so frustrated not to have an album or upcoming shows so there is a lot of moodiness about her. (Tuesday 25 March 2014; 16:48)

ss from Canada (42,322) by Stephen from London, United Kingdom Thank you. I created my own pop art canvas of Mariah a few years back. It proudly hangs on one of my walls lol. I really like this your avi though. I may have to get a print of that. (Tuesday 25 March 2014; 15:44)

Aussie lamb (42,321) by Jacqueline N from Australia Hi all. I'm from Australia and I collect Mariah carey cds, I've been collecting since around 1994. I am beginning to get quite a large collection, All of my cd/singles and LPs are Australian releases, for most of them I have 1-2 copies of each single, including old ones such as "If it's over", "Fantasy", "Open arms", "Hero" etc. If anyone is interested in buying some Australian release music from me please contact me, especially if you are having trouble finding something that is rare. My email is: bookings.jacqueline@gmail.com (Tuesday 25 March 2014; 10:06)

Stephen / Jaker20 (42,320) by 123 from USA To me it was a mixture of things of why it pushed back, it wouldn't be fair for me to say it is just ego. From the poor response to the lead single in 2012, to the rushing to get done while trying to promote the rising Beautiful, to the injury that was so close to or may have changed her physically, to the waiting to see what the public response is to a single. She is keeping everything so secretive and I kind of get why, it would be awesome if she cooking up a surprise double album. You don't want a surprise being spoiled that you have been cooking up for 4 years. In my opinion, the CD is coming out May 6, hell or high water, it has already cost the label to much money for producers, studion time, etc to not obtain a return. If this is the last album on IDJ, then it would be in her best interest to have a hit album in order to up the bargaining power on a new contract with the same label or a new one.

Re: Stephen (42,319) by ss from Canada Thanks, got it off this site. It's a pretty cool and creative site where people post their work. Search Mariah and you'll find a lot of her pics transformed into pop art, comic, and sketches among other styles made by fans. Check it out. (Tuesday 25 March 2014; 5:12)

Double album? (42,318) by Edward from USA Raise you mouse if you'd like a double album. Even though I would love a double album, I rather Mariah release this album, and the next one within a year or two. She could actually chill, enjoy her twins and husband, tour, and then work on three or four more songs to complete the next one if she is not satisfied with what she already has. At this point Mariah must have more then 40 songs recorded. I hope she includes Kick Rocks on this one. (Monday 24 March 2014; 23:46)

Thoughts (42,317) by clueey23 from USA I loved MC singing Happy Birthday to B.Scott. I wonder do some of you guys ever get tired of thinking something is wrong, when it's really not? It has to be draining to think negatively or to create drama and problems that don't exist. Any who, I'm very happy with the performance on the charts with YME. I told you all it hadn't even began to peak. I would think that even if MC has an exclusive deal with NBC it will be sufficient promotion for this album. Today Show, Ellen, Jimmy Fallon. I would really enjoy a showcase on Bravo, an interview and stripped down concert of new material and some of her favorites from the past, along with stories about the creative process of this album. Maybe we'll get a title on 3/27, who knows? OAN, I love the background vocals of YME. That acapella someone posted was everything to me, thank you. (Monday 24 March 2014; 21:19)

ss from Canada (42,316) by Stephen from London, United Kingdom Sidenote: I love your avi. Where is it from? (Monday 24 March 2014; 16:52)

Butterfly (42,315) by B from USA Butterfly is Mariah's best body of work. She seems to write her best songs when she's unhappy or her talent is being questioned. Has anyone noticed this or is it just me? (Monday 24 March 2014; 15:49)

Delay (42,314) by B from USA I highly doubt the album will be delayed. IDJ will release the album to complete her contract. I think the execs at IDJ have lost faith in Mariah. She has a huge fanbase but without the support of her label she can only do so much. If You're Mine (Eternal) had been given the same treatment as #Beautiful it would be a Top 10 hit by now. Instead it's slowly but surely climbing the charts because it's a good song. (Monday 24 March 2014; 15:24)
