B (40,801) by TJ from Norway You are spot on. With TEOM she dressed like the star she is! (Monday 27 January 2014; 21:32)

Tina / Mariah's new era image (40,800) by Me. I am Carly from USA There is an article about Tina Turner talking about her comeback where Tina's voice is described as raspy. I think Mariah could be described the same way today. I really like the idea of seeing Mariah facing the age in her wonderfully campy, I am gonna do me kind of way. I have noticed that Mariah is wearing a lot of the black leather, very Tina. It would be good for her to really focus on the legs more like Tina too, so not so revealing but still cool and sexy.

Carlos Jaramillo / rude comments (40,799) by Edward from USA Carlos, I couldn't have said it better. It is like you stole my words. There seem to be a delusional problem with Isaac Ortiz. He is always rude with his comments. I just ignore him. I personally think that Almost Home was way better than Triumphant. (Monday 27 January 2014; 19:54)

Age / nothing but a number (40,798) by Me. I am Carly from USA What do you all think about a song or album with a defiant age edge? Like "Nothing but a number". Mariah is still doing very well next to female singers of her age (bothers me that men don't struggle to stay popular). With kids and trying to do it all, maybe we could get a ain't no superwoman type of so from Mariah. I can't remember who did that song. Would be hilarious to have Mariah just show how she has it. I think of the edge that Tina Turner had with her comeback in the eighties and think of Mariah having that kind of album maybe. (Monday 27 January 2014; 19:26)

Image (40,796) by B from USA Mariah's hair is fine. It's her style that needs work. She needs a stylist like Rachel Zoe. During The Emancipation Of Mimi era she was styled by former Vogue editor and famed fashionista André Leon Talley and she looked classy. MC, hire Zoe or Talley for this new era! (Monday 27 January 2014; 16:46)

Dedication (40,795) by B from USA The title sounds promising. Dedicated to you, to us and the love we share. I'm excited! (Monday 27 January 2014; 16:28)

Isaac Ortiz (40,794) by Carlos Jaramillo from USA Every time I read your postings, I give thanks that the internet offers potentiality of space for unlimited messages. If not, we'd really need to vote you off the message bored. It seems like you have a Mariah Carey "trivia" deck of cards in your hand and you are randomly selecting little pieces of information from each card and meshing it all together to construct an "incoherent" message to put on this board. Your levels of "delusion" are mesmerizing to me. "Almost Home was not right for Mariah's voice." Really? You make the most hysterical unsubstantial comments relative to her career. I guess we all have the right to our own opinions, be they ignorant or not but, wow... Lol. (Monday 27 January 2014; 15:38)

Dedication new single? (40,793) by Blake from USA There is a new song title revealed. I wonder if it's the new single. I am ready. Ok, what songs do we know could potential be on the new album? "Dedication", "Bring it on home", "Hope street", "#Beautiful", "The art of letting go", "Almost home" (I wish), "Triumphant" (I wish for the vintage throwback non dance version).

Re: Hair (40,792) by Lamb_O_Chop from Australia Now a new color yes. I wouldn't mind jet black or just another natural hair color she's never had, but the length is already perfect. She should not cut it short, like ever. (Monday 27 January 2014; 14:42)

Hair (40,790) by Bill from the UK Lol, due to the lack of music and noteworthy news, let's talk about her hair. I agree that the blonde look is tired now. I've never liked it as it never suited her skin tone. The dark, honey coloured, straightened look she was sporting post-separation (when she started with the mini skirts) was beautiful, especially with the earth toned make up she wore back then. She was sexy yet also classy and not too far removed from Music Box Mariah. Now it's like she's a totally different person entirely. (Monday 27 January 2014; 12:52)

Correction (40,789) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I meant hip hop flavors. (Monday 27 January 2014; 12:33)

George Golden (40,788) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter If you haven't been keeping up with the news, a new song is already on its way, with a release date (14th February). Mariah has already mentioned the album will be ready by late spring. There is no need to hate on "that guy" (Nick), he is the one that apparently makes Mariah happy and why blame him for the mess? Plus when did Mariah go full ghetto? She likes to add RnB flavors to her songs, and some of us like it. As far as reinventing goes, she did keep changing her style every now and then, so I really don't see what you mean. Go pull a Lady Gaga? Or Britney? It would be ridiculous, because then she'd be made fun of, like Madonna. I like that Mariah keeps it classy. She should tone the sexuality a little but other than that I really see no problems with her songs. They just don't get enough promotion, and that's why they don't chart well. (Monday 27 January 2014; 12:27)

New album (40,787) by George Golden from UK What is going on with Mariah? Where is the music and where is the album? I am really frustrated with this era. Everything regarding her nowadays is so out of place. Why can't she reinvent herself and come up with an album with groovy tunes and social awareness? She needs to get her act together. She needs to get herself some respect in the industry. I am happy that she is now married with kids but it just seems after marrying that guy she just went downhill and everything is like one big comedy. I love Mariah, that is why I am venting. I hope her new collaboration is with Pharell, Jay-Z or even Justin Timberlake, because she needs a killer uptempo groovy track that needs to be too good to be ignored. All that ghetto wanna be should end now please. (Monday 27 January 2014; 12:08)

Vocal duet (40,785) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia The best duet for Mariah at this point would be with Celine Dion. Both are the true divas from the 90's that still making albums. I still remember watching VH1 Divas Live 1998 where Mariah and Celine sang their biggest hits and 1998 was the best year for both of them, plus Shania Twain. I really wish the era of the big powerful voice of divas would return in 2014 just like the 90's. It all could start with Mariah. I really want her to be on top of the charts once more. I know she can do it. (Monday 27 January 2014; 12:02)

Mariah's hair (40,784) by Sunshine Divalamb from Germany Are we really at a point that we have to talk about Mariah's hair? (Monday 27 January 2014; 10:58)

Grammies (40,783) by Chicago Lamb from USA Miguel presenting with Ariana Grande? Should have been presenting with our one and only! (Monday 27 January 2014; 2:57)

Hair / duets (40,782) by CMC from NY,NY As a hairstylist and colorist in NYC I've thought Mariah's color had been very off and tired looking. It's too blonde and looks cheap and tone is aging her. She needs to go back to more of a dark honey base with subtle highlights. I'm dying for her to go back to the butterfly album cover hair. She'd look more fresh and youthful. I have to say the Usher rumor gives me no excitement at all. A Bruno Mars duet would give me everything and be more current. All these male duets seem a bit much. I'd like more and Mariah. (Monday 27 January 2014; 1:41)

The hair (40,780) by Lamb_O_Chop from Australia I agree with Issac. People should really get off the hair thing. Mariah's hair is her signature and it's always on point. I wouldn't even want to see her with short hair anyway. It'll end up coming off as contrived and she'll probably end up putting in extensions like Beyonce did anyway. If she wore a different wig in a video or two, I wouldn't mind, but changing her look like Madonna and Rihanna has never been her thing and would look desperate and gimmicky at this point. (Monday 27 January 2014; 0:00)

Danny Cedar (40,779) by Isaac from USA Get outta here dude. "The art of letting go" title and song are both great. "Almost home" not so much. "Triumphant" and "Beautiful" both beat it. "Almost home" was not right for Mariah's voice. Also, Mariah knows what she's doing. People are constantly suggesting what she should name the album. Or do with it. Let Mariah do Mariah. All everyone needs to know is that the album is going to be good. And whatever she did or decides to do, I'm going to support and back her up 100%. (Sunday 26 January 2014; 23:56)

Almost Home / new album (40,778) by Danny Cedar from uk I think Mariah should really at this point in her career (at her most experienced) come up with a killer one word album title. Yeah TEOM did well and had a longer more complicated one but times have moved on it needs to be catchy, relevant and snappy. I don't like TAOLG as a title or song tbh, they are the worst in her career. Almost Home was a brilliant song, catchy and well sang with some nice "nuances". It would be nice to see this as a bonus track. The album has to be flawless to give her a well needed boost as recent appearances and interviews suggest although getting more of the "real" Mariah is not translating well to the general public. If this is no longer as important to her then she should scrap albums and do more shows and continue with her works such as the publications and theatre, which I think she would be excellent at, and some minor lip synching would not go out of place there.

[...] (40,777) by Ron Simmons from USA Dear fans, supporters and artists. I'm asking you all to donate to my dear friend Gavin Christopher who need help financially and recovering from congestive heart failure operation. Anything you can donate will be appreciated, click on the link below. Gavin Christopher has been writing, producing and singing songs that soul music fans worldwide have come to know and love for almost 40 years. The man has worked with the likes of Chaka Khan, Curtis Mayfield, Herbie Hancock, Jeff Lorber, Sheila E. and even a young Mariah Carey in the beginning of her career. In 2013, he was featured on one of Fullasoul Radio's biggest hits of the year. James Day's "Considered Delivered" (which also featured vocalist Audrey Wheeler). But the high of having another hit song out was shortly-lived, as Gavin was forced into the hospital this past September with congestive heart failure. (Sunday 26 January 2014; 20:05)

Rashidi Rahim Rick (40,775) by Isaac from USA Who cares how Mariah styles her hair? She's always looked great. And she's worn her hair many different ways throughout the years. You make it seem like she's had the same hair style for a long time. How she has it now looks nice. It's already short enough. So get off her hair. But the album tilte you suggested, I agree. It's a great title. And the best I've heard here on the messageboard. (Sunday 26 January 2014; 19:27)

Album name (40,774) by Edward from USA The weird thing about "The Art of Letting Go" is that Mariah has never referred to the album with that name nor did she ever give out any explanation. Nick did refer to the album with that name though before her performance at Macy's. New Year, new album title, and new songs. What happened in 2013, and anything associated with it, should stay in 2013. (Sunday 26 January 2014; 18:40)

Thoughts on the new era (40,773) by B from USA The title The Art Of Letting Go is associated with delays and bad press. She needs a new name for the album. I like Mariah and no I don't think people will think she's copying Bey. She needs to leave TAOLG and Triumphant off the album. She has me excited. I hope the duet is with Justin or Usher. If she does cover a Whitney song I'm hoping for Why Does It Hurt So Bad or one of the many gospel songs Whitney recorded/sang. Besides she never confirmed the album was titled The Art Of Letting Go. I'm excited for the Nas and Stevie Wonder collaborations. (Sunday 26 January 2014; 16:52)

Stephen / album title (40,772) by Licia from USA I'll take it. Lol. As for the album title, I think she is going to change it because I got the impression she was a little pissed when the title got leaked. She wanted to be the one to announce it and somebody beat her to it. I have never even heard Mariah call the album by name. I actually think it's going to be called My New Album because that's all she has ever referred to it as. Lol. If she changes it, cool. If she doesn't, it's still cool by me. I just want music.
