Messageboard

Stacey / disagreements (42,015) by Stephen from London, United Kingdom Well said Stacey. I haven't contributed thus far, because it seems that every few months we have the same conversation, where people need to be reminded that opinions are just that, an opinion; not fact. We may disagree, but it's subjective and thus shouldn't interfere with anyone else's existence or happiness. Hence, why is it ridiculous to get offensive and name call as a result. I have found that lately on this board, there have been one or two people, who have been so absurd with how they have responded to people's opinions, that I cannot even be bothered to engage with them, even when they disagree with mine. Worse still, there are some who don't even read messages properly, and respond in an aggressive way, when what they are saying is in fact in agreement with the message they are getting ants in their pants about in the first place. Maybe the webmaster needs to out a be nice or leave Mariah banner on the top of the page to remind people about basic manners. (Friday 7 March 2014; 15:01)

Debates and disagree (42,014) by RadChad from United States I feel that it's okay to disagree with someone else's opinion on a matter as long as it doesn't become a childish or desrespectful moment. It's a messageboard we're going to debate, nothing necessarily wrong in that itself. Also I see nothing wrong and giving an opinion on another artist as it concerns Mariah. Now if we were randomly discussing JT for no good Mariah related reason at all then I could see the issue. Respect in general is the real on going issue here for some individuals.

Well said Stacey (42,013) by Eternal from Italy We are all here because presumably we love Mariah's music. That doesn't mean that we necessarily love her image, her personality, her choice of words (STSHW, dahlings) etc. I've learned to make a difference between Mariah the singer/songwriter versus Mariah the person. She is free to be who she is, it's not up to me to say how she should be, otherwise I would be Tommy part 2. Similarly on this board people are free to say what they want. If I don't like something someone said, I'll just ignore it. There's no point in specifically targeting someone's post just to reinforce your own stance or have the last word on an argument. This infighting is really a bad image of lambs in general. I mean, seriously, now the lambs are even arguing over whether Justin Timberlake is a good singer/douchebag/ opportunist or not. Since when did this became a JT message board? (Friday 7 March 2014; 12:54)

Carlos / Paul (42,012) by Isaac Ortiz from USA [This message is completely censored. Isaac was again very very rude to several posters and that's why I've banned him from this messageboard.] (Friday 7 March 2014; 5:14)

Carlos (42,011) by Kenny from Canada Right on. I don't have any hard feelings toward him at all. At the end of the day, we're all here for the same reason and he actually seems like a passionate lamb. So I don't want to turn this into a "pick on Issac" fest. Let's move on. (Thursday 6 March 2014; 21:59)

Kenny (42,010) by Stacey from USA You are right. There is nothing wrong with different opinions. My post said just that. Go and read my original post again. My issue is with name calling. Just wanted that part to be clear. (Thursday 6 March 2014; 21:18)

Carlos / Kenny (42,008) by Stacey from USA I did not direct my post to anyone or any specific situation. It was simply a post about my experiences posting online. I am not mad at anyone. My post did not imply anything close to that. Hardly, lol. See, I choose to ignore the drama. I don't worry about what someone says through a computer. I have so many things real to me than faceless words on a screen. Know what I mean? If someone does take issue with me, I approach them in an appropriate manner. I don't resort to name calling. Trust me, Eric can attest folks have gotten quite nasty with me over the years and I've learned to fight fire with water. I guess at age 36, I don't worry about it all anymore. I just pop in Fantasy and let the drama "melt away". Moving forward. Peace. (Thursday 6 March 2014; 21:01)

You guys (42,007) by Bill from the UK You all literally have me in hysterics sometimes. I laughed so much at the comment about how MTV Unplugged 2 would be the "final nail in the coffin" and how her appearances are now all about "boobs, ass and attitude", and to the person who said that as fans all we do is complain and argue about every aspect of her career - huge lol. It's funny because it's true. You all are great, don't ever change. (Thursday 6 March 2014; 20:29)

Carlos Jaramillo (42,005) by Paul from Usa You are spot on in your last post about Isaac. Scroll though my profile and you'll see where I called him out a few weeks ago. He has a hard time letting others say how they feel, and quite often tells people that their opinion is wrong. What the heck? I just ignore his silly posts, hit the thumbs down and move on. (Thursday 6 March 2014; 20:09)

Carlos Jaramillo / nasty people (42,004) by Edward from USA Carlos Jaramillo, I couldn't have said it better. I can understand when someone get censored here for using certain not so nice words stating an exciting opinion, but when you have to be censored for using nasty words towards other members, it is plain ridiculous. Justin Timberlake hasn't ever been hailed as a great singer, nor his voice has been praised like that either. He is more like an entertainer, and in fact his voice is nasal, and he said himself that he has a high pitch. He is more of a one man show, he looks great, sings, dances, and acts, but just that. (Thursday 6 March 2014; 19:40)

Kenny, Stacey, all other members (42,002) by Carlos Jaramillo from USA You guys can't be upset at Isaac. If you read his other posts, you will find that he munches on immaturity crackers all day and is the personification of "delusions". He is so steadfast on all his opinions and is incapable of separating fact from opinion and as a result gets a bit "testy" with his replies to people. My advice is to just give him the "thumbs down" he always brings upon himself and rightfully deserves and, lets keep focusing on the fabulosity that is Mariah Carey and, despite all our different opinions and view points, good or bad, we cant get enough of our musical supernova. (Thursday 6 March 2014; 16:47)

Marquise (42,001) by Carlos Jaramillo from USA Marquise, I'm going to need you to read your message back over to your self just one more time and think about what you just said. Lol. (Thursday 6 March 2014; 16:41)

Stacey re drama (42,000) by Kenny from Canada I understand what you're saying but I don't agree with what you said about both sides being in the wrong. There's nothing wrong with having different opinions on a matter but it's a totally different situation when it escalates into name calling. There's no need for that. I was attacked because he chose to nitpick a sentence "not hating on JT but I just threw up a little in my mouth lol" and then ignore the rest of of my post. Apparently that statement was so offensive that it warranted an attack. I'm not a child and I don't need to be reprimanded. It's also interesting to note that I'm not the only one that's had a conflict with Isaac Ortiz. (Thursday 6 March 2014; 15:58)

Appreciate her diva work (41,999) by Spir Ja from USA No matter what anybody says, Miss Mariah takes her position in life as a full time responsibility to the icon of it all. She is always dressed, tressed, poofed and primed. Who else does that on point year after year, week after week? Seriously, anyone that follows her knows she "delivers" something, somewhere. I hope she's having fun and I hope she does a 180 some day and starts doing something all together different musically and otherwise. (Thursday 6 March 2014; 15:18)

Re: the voice of Mariah (41,998) by jaker20 from US Of course people compare it to her old voice. Who else should we compare it to? We can't compare it to her most recent voice because we hardly hear it anyway. She's not had so many fully and unquestionably live performances the past few years, I can can count them with my fingers. MC has to accept her new voice. I would rather hear her raw and imperfect voice, rather than perfect that is so obviously lipped/semi-lip. (Thursday 6 March 2014; 9:59)

The voice of Mariah (41,997) by Marquise from USA The only reason why people say she lost her voice is because they compare it with her "old" voice. (Thursday 6 March 2014; 6:29)

Dani from USA (41,996) by Jay from USA I was inspired by your post and did a playlist on my iPod with all this songs and some of their remixes. I can definitely feel the flow. I can't wait for the new album. (Thursday 6 March 2014; 1:30)

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. (Wednesday 5 March 2014; 19:08)

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. (Wednesday 5 March 2014; 2:43)

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.
