Dedication (40,830) by Bill from the UK Well amongst all these posts for Isaac there's some people talking about a new single. A collab with Nas would be great, I loved the Make It Last remix of TGIFY more than the original. So dream-like and soulful. If it's more of the same then I can't wait.

Nas / new album (40,828) by Ernest Moreno from USA Nas is okay. It will interesting to hear how the track will sound. But Justin Timberlake is just as good, if not better (as in regards to his music). Personally, I think they are both talented. I can't wait to hear the single and album.

Stuck in a YouTube loop (40,827) by Lee from UK Does anybody ever go to YouTube to listen to a specific live performance by Mariah and then get stuck in a loop of listening to lots of her live performances? Then an hour later you're like "What did I actually come on the internet for?" Seriously, if I'm listening to one performance I'm listening to ten more suggested performances even if I've seen them all like 100 times. I remember the days before there were lots of YouTube videos and you had to buy CDs of her live performances from EBay. (Tuesday 28 January 2014; 20:41)

Edward from USA (40,826) by Carlos Jaramillo from USA ?Edward, in my opinion you make some of the most insightful comments on this message board. I actually log looking to read what you post. It's evident that you have actually "followed" and experienced "Mariah" and have "gone through" her many metamorphosis stages and phases. It's obvious that you are reasonable and grounded and able to set aside your love and admiration for Mariah enough so to make coherent, logically sustainable comments or observations and even predictions, about her life and career. I value your opinion and appreciate your consistency. (Tuesday 28 January 2014; 17:11)

Isaac, Isaac, Isaac... (40,825) by Carlos Jaramillo from USA Isaac, daling, I can't even be upset at you. Cutie! You can't be more than 17 years old or something "childish" like that. Now, you've never commented to me because I've never posted a comment so astronomically ridiculous that it drew you away from the actual attention and point of this site, which is to speak real "Mariah". Like you said, you've never disrespected me directly, you're right, but every time you speak and you keep that "dummy-stick" in your mouth, and you speak your diluted comments, which don't even pass as "opinions" but rather psychologically induced distortions of the reality around you, its like a straight slap in the face. I feel totally disrespected! Lol. In other words, you dont make any kind of sense, hon. You called me "irreverent". You obviously also use words you dont understand. For me to have acted irreverently, you, personally, would have had to be held in some type of high regard and clearly, thats not the case. Considering the fact that you are the one person that receives the most rebuttals of any other member of this blog. Also, I'm not upset at anything at all, as you claim. You are totally entitled to your own ignorant opinion, as I am entitled to shedding light on said ignorance. (Tuesday 28 January 2014; 17:09)

Ok lets not do Nas (40,824) by Lamb_O_Chop from Australia I love you Issac darling, but a talent of Nas caliber could never be considered irrelevant. The guy is a lyrical genius and has nothing but the upmost respect of the entire industry. He's not called the street disciple for any reason. I would recommend you listen to a few of his albums, particularly God's Son and It Was Written and tell me he doesn't slay 99.9% of rappers today. Like some say he's legendary and exactly who Mariah should be working with. It's always a good look to have him one your album. (Tuesday 28 January 2014; 16:31)

Random (40,822) by clueey23 from USA I just thought about it, Maxwell and MC were label mates on Columbia back in the 90's. I really hope that they collaborate. (Tuesday 28 January 2014; 15:58)

Nas / the album / style / Issac (40,821) by clueey23 from USA I just wanna say Nas will never ever be irrelevant. Just like MC, he is a timeless artist. Even his latest album is full of real instrumentation and great lyrics, a classic. Listen to "Cherry Wine" with Amy Winehouse. That is the type of collaboration MC needs and I'm sure wants. It's classic and classy. The most relevant artists of today are over hyped and Justin is one of them. Beyonce is another. And I think once we get the album from MC we will all hear why. I think this album, regardless of hairstyle, will be a masterpiece to sit next to Butterfly. I personally don't want MC to be singing a whole bunch of pop songs in the vain of Rainbow or E=MC2. I'm too old and she's too old for that right now. And I know there are people that don't care for "The Art of Letting Go" but it's a step in the right direction, especially what we saw and heard in the promo clip back in October 2013. I hear growth from MC with each album. I agree that MC needs to consult with a stylist like the "Mimi" era, Andre from Vogue and June Ambrose was another stylist she has worked with in the past. But again I always remind myself MC isn't a style icon and she has never ever needed to be, save it for people with less musical talents like Jennifer Lopez. MC has always been the artist that would have the perfect dress on with the wrong shoes or vice versa. lol. Issac do your research before you talk about music legends on this board. I can't believe you said he's irrelevant, shame on you. (Tuesday 28 January 2014; 15:51)

Nas irrelevant, I think not (40,820) by B from USA Nas is often named as one of the top hip hop artists. MTV ranked him at number 5 on their list of The Greatest MCs of All Time. [6] In 2012, The Source ranked him No. 2 on their list of the Top 50 Lyricists of All Time. In 2013, Nas was ranked fourth on MTV's "Hottest MCs in the Game" list. He has six number 1 albums on the Billboard 200, tying him with Eminem and Kanye West for 2nd all time among rappers. (Tuesday 28 January 2014; 14:45)

Issac (40,819) by B from USA Do you even read the news posted on this site? I love JT, but I don't think MC is talking about him. Nas is legend. Go listen to If I Ruled The World by Nas. Educate yourself! (Tuesday 28 January 2014; 14:21)

Isacc (40,818) by Danny Braden from Uk One thing having an opinion and a voice, the other is being arrogant and aggressive. And you need to change your approach if you want respect on the message-board, otherwise see twitter. (Tuesday 28 January 2014; 13:50)

Collaborations (40,817) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter How do you all feel about Mariah collaborating with a female artist? Not Celine or her contemporaries. More like Beyonce (they are pretty good friends I think), or Britney, Rihanna (I don't really like her), Christina Aguilera, Adele or Shakira? I think her and Beyonce could be huge. Britney too. She could do a "groovy" dance song (similar to Migrate), an uptempo "feel good" song or even a ballad. Also which other female collaborators can you think of? (Again, singers who are not her contemporaries.) (Tuesday 28 January 2014; 12:49)

Speaking on irrelevancy (40,814) by Licia from USA Isaac, your boy JT thought Mariah was irrelevant in the CB era and I bet he thinks the same thing now because she's not on top of the charts. I respect him as an artist, but he gives me douchebag vibes. We are going to always bring up that Yours remix because it was a great opportunity and as much as I think JT is a douchebag, I think he would have sounded nice on that song. (Tuesday 28 January 2014; 12:20)

Isaac (40,813) by Licia from USA Have you ever listened to anything by Nas? Nas is one of the greatest rappers ever. His social awareness and lyrics make you think about things in a different way. In other words, he's a stinking beast on the mic. Look up any list of great rappers and I'm pretty sure Nas is high on the list. I'll just assume you have no idea who he is and that's why you are talking out your behind. Lol. Boo to Mariah and Justin Timberlake. (Tuesday 28 January 2014; 12:11)

Ms.Giselle / Peaceful Aquarium (40,812) by Isaac from USA Girl please [...] Still on Mariah's fashion. Yawn. Peaceful Aquarium, Nas compared to Justin Timberlake. I can't believe people are still on the whole "Yours" remix track. Who cares? Justin is a very talented music artist. Who can actually sing? Who makes good music? I just hope Nas and MC's collaboration will top songs like "Sweetheart" ,"Say something" or "Get your number"? It has to. (Tuesday 28 January 2014; 10:17)

Nas (40,811) by Peaceful Aquarian from United States What's the problem with Nas? Sure, he isn't as mainstream as Jay-Z, Kanye etc. But he is a legend and seems to be relevant enough for Mariah to be working with him again. Timberlake, really? He's another mediocre trend hopper that ditched Mariah during the Charmbracelet that suddenly wanted to collaborate in 2005. Eff him. Nas over him any day. (Tuesday 28 January 2014; 1:55)

Isaac Ortiz (40,810) by Stephen from London, United Kingdom Nas is an amazing artist and a true hip hop legend. Within the hip hop community he will always be respected, and well thought of. His class is permanent. If Mariah is collaborating with rappers, he's exactly the kind of rapper she should collaborate with. He can bring something to her record that not many others can. If you need to see anything more recent, may I suggest you check out Cherry Wine, which is his collaboration with Amy Winehouse. That's the kind of thing record he and Mariah would be amazing on. (Tuesday 28 January 2014; 0:45)

Webmaster / thanks (40,809) by Edward from USA Eric, thanks for reminding Mr. Know-it-all that Mariah is actually collaborating with Nas. Yes, as irrelevant as he may be, and according to Mariah and JD, it could be a potential single. See, one must read the news section here before posting ignorant comments. I will go listen to "Almost Home" now, pow! When it comes to good music, it is not about relevancy, it is about quality. At the end of the day that's what sticks with most people. Nas wasn't as relevant when the Making Last remix was released, yet his infusion took the track to a different level. (Tuesday 28 January 2014; 0:42)

Carlos / hair (40,808) by Ms. Giselle from USA Oh my Carlos, that post was funny. Lol. On to the other big topic, Mariah needs an overhaul image makeover. She never left Long Island. That Sag Awards ensemble was her begging for a new stylist. Throughout her career, I had to look back because I had forgotten and wanted to just check/confirm. I was right, She's never been red carpet A++. I agree with the lamb down below who said he wants Mariah to do something "groovy" lol. I wish she had Blurred Lines beat first and wrote some amazing lyrics to it. I love her ballads but she hasn't given us something "funky" since "Fantasy". Oh and please, don't cover "You give good love". (Tuesday 28 January 2014; 0:31)

Dream concert (40,807) by Austin from USA Vanishing (I love Mariah's more jazzy songs and think she's matured into that type artist, one that can crossover into that genre) Can't let go (one of my favorite songs from unplugged) If it's over (that SNL performance was the ultimate) Without you (I've never heard her perform it live, and I've seen her 3 times) Anytime you need a friend (she should work with full choirs more often, it really compliments her voice) Underneath the stars (another favorite I've never heard live) Always be my baby (crowd pleaser and she always has so much fun performing it) Melt away (just for the nostalgia) Butterfly (never heard it live, wonderful lyrics) Fourth of July (Underneath The Stars copy, but I love it) Can't take that away (she used to really get into this performance, she had Patti Labelle moments on stage during the Rainbow era) When you believe (Whitney tribute, also may be nice to here a Whitney cover, just the lonely talking again or you give good love) Never too far (I would like to see her embrace the Glitter album in live performance, I love this song) We belong together (duh) Mine again and Circles (never heard them live, wonderful songs) Fly like a bird (that Grammy performance was a knockout, I can always get into that type of performance, she really shined) I'm that chick (I thought it was a great song and her performance on MTV was fun and playful, like Mariah) It's a wrap (great song, playful lyrics, very Mariah) (Monday 27 January 2014; 23:57)

Style / album title / Nas (40,806) by Austin from USA I agree, Mariah's style is the least of worries. However, TEOM era was great for her look. She needs a management team that can generate a look and brand that is relevant to today. She got that with TEOM. She's always had less than interesting album titles until TEOM. I hope the title is just true to the vibe of the album. Nas is a legend among the hip hop community. Yes, he's no longer as popular as other artists, but he's a very creative artist and exactly the type of collaborator Mariah needs to work with in this stage of her career. I'm so exacted about new music. I can't wait! (Monday 27 January 2014; 23:38)

Dream concert, new album title, etc. (40,805) by Blake from USA I just wanted to mention that I can totally hear Trey Lorenz' "Always in love" in the melody of "Everything Fades away", anyone else think that? Regarding the new album title talk, I think it would be great if Mariah did a sub-self title "Mariah" and name it in honor of the lambily. I think it would be great do an album appreciating the fans thing like Fanmail by TLC, etc. My dream concert would be an exclusive lamb show, almost no singles for me. Assuming Mariah's voice is in good shape for the show and the set list would be: Prisoner If It's Over All I Ever Wanted Melt Away Breakdown Petals Lead The Way or If We I Only Wanted Circles Cruise Control or Migrate Side Effects Standing O Almost Home OK hopefully nobody goes off on my from my post. I been scared to post lately. Not much fighting/bickering on this board now. (Monday 27 January 2014; 22:58)

B (40,804) by Isaac from USA How do you know Mariah collaborated with Nas? See: Mariah and Nas' collaboration is so good you'll "feel" it. Like really, Nas out of all the artists she picked him. Lol. I haven't heard from Nas since "Exactly". Why not someone better like my boy Justin Timberlake, Bruno, Usher. Nas has been irreverent for awhile now. I thought someone on here posted that Mariah did a track with Maxwell, called "Saturday love". Rumors,I tell you. I'll think I'll just wait for the official single. And when the album is released. (Monday 27 January 2014; 22:58)

Mariah's hair (40,803) by Isaac from USA Everyone suddenly went from discussing about the new album to now discussing about Mariah's hair, lol. Why? How she looks now is fine. The long hair in the "It's like that" video was great. But it probably takes too much to maintain. Or for whatever matter. She was 35 at the time. And how does the way she styles her hair have to do with the new album? I find it funny. It's like some of you want to style and dress her yourselves. Let Mariah look the way she wants to look. She'll always be beautiful. I just hope she never cuts it short like Beyonce. And now that I bring her up, did anyone watch the Grammy's last night? Ugh, it was terrible and boring. Miguel was there. And me and my friend agreed that Mariah should have been there. And had singed "Beautiful". That would have been the best performance of the show. Pink did good. But still, Mariah should have been there instead of Madonna [...]. And that marriage ceremony? Really,lol. What a flop that night was. (Monday 27 January 2014; 22:45)

Carmillo / Edward (40,802) by Isaac from USA Carmillo, I don't give a [...] what you think of me. I've never commented to you until now. I've never disrespected you or anyone on the message board. Why can't you be like Edward and just ignore me? What are you upset about? The fact that I never acknowledged your apology?Edward, [...] you're another non factor. And you are irreverent. I've never commented to you either. And you're stating that "you just ignore" me. Good,thanks. I appreciate it. And I hope you do so if by any chance you read this. Stick to listening to "Almost home". (Monday 27 January 2014; 22:26)
