New hairstyle, maybe (40,771) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia I guess after 23 years and counting in the music industry maybe all she needs is a new hairstyle. Maybe. Imagine, how vast the coverage she will gets for the new hair and the new album. I'm not saying short hair like Miley, just neck-length short. For the title, she should named the album "Songbird" because that's who she is. (Sunday 26 January 2014; 10:37)

The unreleased #beautiful remix (40,770) by Jeremey Carey from United States You guys are talking about the Jeezy remix, but what about the final mix of #Beautiful? When we got to hear like a 30 second teaser that just vanished. (Sunday 26 January 2014; 9:03)

Stephen, UK lambs (40,769) by Joe from United Kingdom Thanks for the reply, sounds exciting. I know these things take time to set up and arrange so I'll patiently wait for any news regarding the situation. (Sunday 26 January 2014; 4:08)

Tarraga, Edward / album cuts (40,768) by CMC from NY,NY Yes, I want new lamb friends. Sent you an email Tarraga. Edward, are you in NYC too? I just want to add about everyone wanting certain songs on the album. I don't want any previously released tracks on the album. I don't understand why people would. That's just taking away from new tracks we will get. We all own them and have heard them at this point anyway. Beautiful was practically a year ago at this point. I want new tracks! Let the old ones go. They can stand alone, keep them in 2013. Just my thoughts. (Sunday 26 January 2014; 3:55)

Licia (40,767) by Stephen from London, United Kingdom You never know, they may actually put the video on a special edition or re-release of the new album when it drops in 2016. Lol. (Sunday 26 January 2014; 3:22)

Edward (40,766) by Licia from USA How do you know the video wasn't anything special when we didn't get to see anything but a couple of pics? Lol. I just want to see what they came up with and yes I know she probably won't ever release it, but I can hope. Let my moment of delusion be great Edward. Lol. (Sunday 26 January 2014; 2:28)

UK lamb gathering (40,765) by James (Twiggy) from United Kingdom Haha. Karaoke is a must. Some Mariah themed games/drinking games? Ha. Oh that reminded me, G.A.Y in Manchester has a Mariah themed cocktail called "Dreamlover". Made me smile when I saw it. Yeah can we tie it in with the album release maybe? Or plan something around her doing some promo in the UK? I'd be totally up for helping organise something. Add me on FB or drop me a message. (Sunday 26 January 2014; 0:39)

Jeeze remix video (40,764) by Edward from USA Well, I hope you all know Mariah is superstitious, and since the filming of the video remix with Jeezy almost cost her an arm, a leg and a couple of eyelashes, I don't think that video will ever see the light of day. At this point I am happy with being able to listen to the remix. That video wasn't anything special anyway. She'll pretend that the video, just like Glitter, never happened. (Sunday 26 January 2014; 0:11)

Joe / UK Lambs (40,763) by Stephen from London, United Kingdom Hi Joe, you're not late at all. I am in the process of trying to arrange this, together with Colin and one or two others. We are in the process of sorting out a venue and possible dates/themes. As you can probably imagine, this is not something that can be done in a week. At the moment we are thinking that we may do it so that it coincides with Mariah's new music. We will update you and others on this board when we have something more concrete arranged. If you have any suggestions, we are more than receptive to receiving them. It would be great if you and all the other UK lambs could make it. Did someone say karaoke? Jokes lol. (Saturday 25 January 2014; 23:57)

Meeting of UK lambs (40,762) by Joe from United Kingdom I know I may be a bit late on this one, but is there any news on the idea of the UK lambs getting together to meet up? Thanks. (Saturday 25 January 2014; 23:04)

Remixes (40,761) by Isaac from USA Who cares about remixes? All that's important are the songs on the album. (Saturday 25 January 2014; 20:35)

Should Mariah "let go" of the original album title? (40,760) by Bill from the UK That's an interesting question that's being raised about changing the album's title. To me, it feels like "Angel's Advocate", the doomed remix album which never saw the light of day. I wouldn't be that upset if Mariah didn't include Beautiful and TAOLG on the album if she wanted to start fresh. I highly doubt Triumphant will make the cut as that was probably her worst-received single in history, by critics and fans alike. Because the album's title has been bandied about for so long, it's lost its edge now unfortunately. My concern now is that if the V-Day single tanks, that she'll push back again. It's like she's tried to launch the album since Triumphant but is waiting to do so off the back of a smash hit. She'll be in for a long wait if that's the strategy. (Saturday 25 January 2014; 20:01)

Mariah's FB, Licia (40,759) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Wow so MC now has 17 million followers on FB. I am happy to see that it increased from 14 million to 17 million in less than 2 months! (I know I am being stupid and/or silly, but hey it excites me to see more people joining her fandom.) Licia you are right, I posted the same message a while back, where on earth is the video? I really want to see it. She had an accident and yet went to shoot the rest and then why drop it? The Jeezy remix was the only one I liked so I wanted to see what kind of video they came up with. (Saturday 25 January 2014; 19:34)

Lee (40,755) by B from USA [...] Lee was probably joking. (Saturday 25 January 2014; 16:57)

Beautiful remix video (40,754) by Licia from USA I still want to see this remix video. Of all the versions of the song this one with Jeezy is the best imo. It's my favorite. I hope that eventually she will show it. I mean she damn near killed herself to make it and she took that broken body back in to finish it. It would be a shame to have done all that work and it never sees the light of day. I didn't have an issue with the original video, but this remix video looked very promising. (Saturday 25 January 2014; 14:11)

Manny (40,753) by Licia from USA I think he was just joking because he couldn't figure out what she did. I could be wrong so don't quote me on that. Lol. (Saturday 25 January 2014; 14:01)

Edward (40,752) by Stephen from London, United Kingdom Hey Edward, you should organise a US/NYC gathering, preferably in the first week of June, when I'll be in NYC haha! I'm joking btw, obviously, that's up to someone with the time on their hands to agree to organise. I have to say, I've never been to a Mariah fan gathering, and I'm looking forward to the UK event. When I went to Vegas in 2009 to see Mariah, I was too busy shopping and partying lol. (Saturday 25 January 2014; 12:38)

New era worries (40,751) by MissunderstoodAngel from United states Hey lambs. I don't know guys, I'm a bit worried about this era. Mariah has been very careless and sloppy. Her cancellations are a key indicator that this in another Memoirs path. Not to mention her image and physique has been an absolute hot mess. The last good commercial album. She need that formula. Not neccessarily the same direction of music, but the same effort. With the Emancipation, the lyrics were great, the songs were great, the videos were great, her voice was great, her image was great. Mariah needs to try. She needs to understand that it's not like before, when anything she put out went #1. This time around she actually has to be crafty and try. (Saturday 25 January 2014; 10:21)

E=MC2 (40,750) by Will from Australia I agree with you John, that's one of my favourite albums too with Daydream. I'm also a massive fan of Memoirs but that has developed with time whereas I liked Charmbraclet originally but don't tend to listen to any tracks from it anymore, same with Rainbow and Glitter. I think Side Effects would've been a great single too, they really missed a step with that album but did she have her miscarriage during that time? Super excited for the new album. (Saturday 25 January 2014; 5:52)

RJJ12 / Edward (40,749) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter RJJ12, yes hopefully they will come up with a good video. I still didn't see the videos I told you about and I am not sure if Indrani was involved, but for Mariah's sake, I really hope she takes note from her videos from Butterfly and TEOM. You are totally right about Beautiful, the song was great but the video was horrible, sitting on a bike touching herself wearing that awful outfit. The second video of Beautiful (the explicit version where there is just one scene throughout, and she's dancing in that yellow dress for like 4 minutes) was so pointless, i don't even know why they released it. The Roof was great too, simple and classy. So is Breakdown. Edward, I was going to write this before but I forgot, you are right about how Mariah should be completely ready with videos and remixes and promotion strategies in mind. Unlike last time where she kept releasing remixes for Beautiful for 1 whole week for almost no good reason, it really did nothing much for the song, and only the Jeezy remix was good. I am glad she is already shooting the video, hopefully she will learn from her mistake and make this year completely about her (like 2005). (Saturday 25 January 2014; 5:07)

New member (40,748) by Darryle from USA I'm a new member and i just wanted to say hi to everyone. (Saturday 25 January 2014; 3:55)

Lee Daniels on Arsenio show (40,747) by Manny from U.S. Have you guys seen this clip? Lee Daniels tells Arsenio that Mariah got some surgery on her cheeks. Mariah has denied rumors of surgery (Sharon Osbourne AMA comment). I wonder if Mariah would be upset at Lee for saying this. They are good friends. Just a thought. I know it seems irrelevant to talk about this, but I have noticed Mariah looked different than when she started her career. I love her anyway. (Saturday 25 January 2014; 3:51)

Mimi L / Enwar00 / Clueey23 / Austin (40,746) by 123 from USA Mimi L. from Bangladesh, I checked out the videos. They were ok, nothing remarkable, but if they are filming in the jungle in Puerto Rico, who knows what it might look like. I agree with your video choices/examples of her looking sexy (without trying to hard) yet classy. I hated how she portrayed herself in the Beautiful video. Too extra. I also loved how she appeared in The Roof video. She seemed to just be herself reminiscing about a past love. Enwar00, I love Wisegirls. Glitter was horrible and her acting was bad, but she totally redeemed herself in Wisegirls. She stole every scene and portrayed an actual character and the movie was really good. She needs more roles where she plays a character completely different from her actual persona. Clueey23, E=MC2 was a solid album full of singles. I wished she would have released I Stay In Love as the second single. It would have went #1 with promo. Everyone that hears it is like,what album was that on? As soon as the album dropped she disappeared and didn’t re-emerge until July but by then, no one cared and the momentum was lost. I never cared too much for Migrate but a lot of non-fans love it. When I play it they are like, that’s hot, who sings this? That’s a hit. Why didn’t she release it? Austin, I believe you are spot on as to the duets on the album. (Saturday 25 January 2014; 2:05)

Album title (40,745) by Austin from USA I agree, Mariah should drop the album title, "The art of letting go". Too much bad press associated with the shenanigans of delaying last years album release. However, I hope the song "The art of letting go" makes it onto the album. It's a great song. I hope there are more songs on the album than the usual 14 or so. If she is truly remaking "Lullaby of birdland" I'm super excited. Mariah has always dabbled in jazz music and this is a classic song. I can't wait for the day she releases a straight jazz album. Usher has great vocals and I wouldn't mind hearing another duet between the two. I'm so excited about the new album, I've always considered her album releases as events! I hope she starts teasing us soon with news. (Friday 24 January 2014; 23:18)

Clueey23 / Chris / new era (40,744) by John from USA Welcome Chris! I'm glad to see a relatively young Mariah fan on here. And clueey23, I agre with everything you said. I still get angry just thinking about how badly the E=MC2 era was handled. Radio was behind her (after TEOM), she looked the best she had since Butterfly, and that album had so many singles. Migrate was a no brainer, and after Touch My Body, it would have been the perfect summer jam. E=MC2 is actually my favorite album after Daydream (which is perfection). Anyhow, I'm very excited for this new era. I have a feeling that Mariah herself is really in it this time. I feel like she knows she needs a hit radio single. At this point, I'll be happy with a top 10 like Obsessed, but a number 1, well, if she gets another number 1, I will run down my block naked. Lol please get out there and promote like hell Mimi. I know you can do still this. (Friday 24 January 2014; 22:32)
