TAOLG (39,864) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway How can anyone here criticise Mariah now that she has released the best song in almost a decade? Some people here should take a chill pill. Even if the song doesn't chart well, I will most definitely put the song on repeat when the album is out. The song is strong, and at last Mariah's getting the recognition from the music industry that she deserves. It's a song dedicated to her fans, what more can we ask for?

clueey23 (39,863) by Stacey from USA You addressed everyone on this board in your original post, hence why I responded. Clarify next time. Just saying. By the way, you need to read closer too. You misspelled my name, lol. Oh and don't call me sweetie. You don't know me from sliced bread either enough to address me that way, lol. I think you are blowing the whole negative energy thing way out of proportion. Just a few have expressed a concern over a long FB post MC made in the middle of the night. It seemed odd. But, if it's nothing to worry about, then it's nothing. Most here love the song and the vibe has been quite good. So chill. It ain't that deep. (Saturday 16 November 2013; 18:56)

Best vocalist of all time (39,862) by Tony from Ireland I've just seen Mariah's performance on Jimmy F, and I have to say that once again I fell in love with Mariah. What a wonderdul voice. She can sing anything and make my heart rush through lots of emotions. She is just looking stunning. How beautiful. I've been listening to TAOLG like 50 times today and is absolutely brilliant. I hope she will get an award for beat vocalist of all times. Hehe. And seriously people, stop talking about how her figure should look or how she should write her songs. We have to realize how lucky we are to have MC making music for us. She rules. Love and peace. (Saturday 16 November 2013; 18:20)

Wow (39,861) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada I love it when she rifs like that so much. I'd love it if she did a full album of Gospel/Jazz one day. There's nothing quite like her voice. I wish that this would silence the "Mariah can't sing anymore" talk, but sadly it probably won't. Lol. (Saturday 16 November 2013; 18:18)

My previous post (39,860) by Ms. Giselle from USA Thanks, to those that explained the "medicine" comment. I just wanted to clarify, I never would ever call me crazy. In fact nobody did. Like Stacy said, I remember those old VM messages too. We as fans were concerned. I wanted to address another post. Someone said American lambs are lazy, I disagree with that. People don't understand that Mariah's "diva" act has ruined her reputation to the average consumer. Google her name and go to news and read comments from people, they all think she's the out of touch diva who looks down on others which is not true. But this over the top diva image has hurt then did good. Oh and about the 14 million twitter followers, just ask Miley, Rihanna Ariana, Katy, JLo, do those "followers" mean anything? Look at their album sales. Enough said. (Saturday 16 November 2013; 17:15)

Impromptu Fallon performance (39,858) by Gerald from USA by the way of NYC Now that is something to talk about. Mariah has once again shown the world her brilliance as songwriter and even more so as a vocalist. I love it. (Saturday 16 November 2013; 15:59)

Re: Lamb_o_chop (39,857) by clueey23 from USA Thank you for your post. Isn't it insane the way people keep up the negative energy towards MC. I couldn't agree with your post more. (Saturday 16 November 2013; 15:36)

Re: Billy, Stacy and Stephen / Jimmy Fallon private concert (39,856) by clueey23 from USA Thanks Billy for understanding what I was saying in my post. Stacy, if you could go back and re read sweetie because if you didn't call MC crazy, I wasn't addressing you. That message was for everyone calling MC crazy and saying that she was having another breakdown. Stephen, thanks for calling me a "nut job", that was nice. But my point is proven because you don't know me from a piece of sliced bread and you called me crazy. Very rude and dismissive to what I was actually saying in my post and my opinion on people calling MC crazy. On another note, I really enjoyed MCs private show, well the 5 minutes that have been uploaded. Great vocals, her musicality is what makes her a genius, great audience and personality. I think MC is at her best by a piano or simply backed by live instruments, her voice just shines. Amazing! (Saturday 16 November 2013; 15:31)

[...] (39,855) by enwar00 from usa I wonder if fruity pebbles were being thrown around too when she was tiptoeing around at 3:30 in the morning spiraling out of control. (Saturday 16 November 2013; 14:11)

TAOLG / Mimi's new signature ensemble (39,854) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The first time I heard TAOLG I was a bit disappointed, I did not immediately like it. However after the second and third time, I started liking it and now I absolutely adore it. I think MC finally came up with a song that showcases her amazing voice. Also I've been noticing that Mariah has recently been wearing only black dresses/gowns/ensembles (the recent two with the ever so risky single string holding it together) paired with black gloves. Maybe she's making that her new style statement. Looks good on her. Gives her a more edgy look. I really hope she does a great video for this song. Something that matches with the feel of the song, and not just about glamour. I was really disappointed with #Beautiful's video. (Saturday 16 November 2013; 14:09)

Mariah gives private performance for fans (39,853) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands (Saturday 16 November 2013; 14:05)

Mariah Carey: Art Of Letting Go (39,852) by DivergentIntel from United States of America Would any of you fellow lambs out there be nice enough to post a link to the new updated version of The Art Of Letting Go? I heard the original but I want to hear the new finished version. Thanks. Now in regards to MC's image, I think she should lose weight, because she has gained weight over the years. She needs to fix up her body shape and lose some weight. I also think she should do a more natural or new hair color and she needs new wardrobe and attire and fashion stylist. I also think she needs a new hairstyle. She should try short hair. She needs to be more classy with occasional sensual and sexual appeal tastefully and classfully. (Saturday 16 November 2013; 13:01)

Christopher (39,851) by Will from England I don't think that the plays on Facebook count towards where the single is positioned on the charts. As far as I am aware, it's only the YouTube/Vevo plays that count. (Saturday 16 November 2013; 12:41)

I really love this song (39,850) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada I've been playing it a lot the past few days. The more I listen, the more I love it. I have to say, I have played the fan surprise video a few times, it's adorable. I'm glad they pulled it off because the reactions are awesome. (Saturday 16 November 2013; 8:25)

FB rant to push single up chart? (39,849) by CMC from NY,NY Let's just start with I love the new song. It's actually an intirely new sound for Mariah and I never thought she would give us at this stage such a vulnerable raw vocal. I believe she obviously wants this single to sky rocket, that's her thing. It's like each single so far has been a test to see where it who it will attract. With that said I cannot believe no one has stated what I thought moments after I read the FB post regarding wrong song played. Doesn't each time the song is played credit toward chart success? Therefore have the slightest difference in the song (which I don't even notice) and having her 13 million followers play the new version again and compare with the old (as I did over and over), wouldn't that be a completely genious plan and ploy for Mariah to boost her way up the singles chart? And no other venue other than Facebook would she be able to to that. Quite suspicious to me in fact. Hmmmmm does no one else see that? Thoughts? (Saturday 16 November 2013; 7:31)

RadChad (39,848) by enwar00 from usa That's so funny that you say that about the bridge, that's the part of the song that's been looping in my head all day today as well. Sounds so nice. (Saturday 16 November 2013; 6:52)

TAOLG (39,847) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway I have a sugestion, why don't we all just be quiet, and just listen to the song? Beause it's so #Beautiful. (Saturday 16 November 2013; 5:58)

clueey23 (39,846) by Stacey from USA I think you need to be a bit careful who you call crazy. Speaking personally, since you addressed everyone on this board in your post, not once did I ever call her crazy. I even stated how much I enjoyed the interview on Fallon. MC has always been full of tangents. Still though, leaving a long message on Facebook at 3:30 am doesn't seem a bit odd to you? That's all anyone here is saying. No one is putting her in a mental institution with any of their posts. No one is calling her crazy. Geez. But note, this is exactly how it started in 2001, random messages on her website. Let's hope it's what others like Licia and Deedre have said: stress to get the album done and done right. (Saturday 16 November 2013; 5:18)

Stephen/ Jimmy Fallon video of her singing for the fans (39,845) by Licia from USA Stephen, I just try to respect everyone's opinion even if I don't agree. I welcome being able to have adult discussions without all the drama. That was a cool moment. She sounded good and she was so funny. I died when she said she stayed around doing sh*t she didn't want to do. Lol. (Saturday 16 November 2013; 5:12)

The madness (39,844) by Lamb_O_Chop from Australia Mariah gave a very clear, well articulated explanation for the Facebook message and even gave a disclaimer. So how is she crazy again? I'm starting to believe some of you just want something to be wrong. Why would you even say she's having another breakdown or that this is going to be Glitter 2? Would that make some of you happy to see that happen? I'm more concerned about some of you, if that's really the case. You guys are reading way to far into things. (Saturday 16 November 2013; 3:01)

To Faith (39,842) (39,843) by Alex from England Mariah is not 20 anymore, she's not gonna create a brand new image of herself. Her stage persona is to be that sexy woman that acts like a diva calling people "dahling". She was forced to play a role for 7 years and if we do wonder why she's never changed her image in the past 16 years, well I think the answer is simple: she is real and true to who she is. Sure it'd be nice for her to re-invent herself for us fans, but the truth is she is a human being who cares a lot more for the emotional aspect of music than for the gimmicks. I am sure she knows people have been put off by her not changing things up a bit, but I will always appreciate the fact that she has been the same woman ever since she broke free of the Tommy situation. Mariah will be Mariah and she's not gonna start "twerking" or shaving one side of her head to gain interest. I think we should realize that Mariah does care about her fans a lot, to the point that she's given us a dance remix of Triumphant with brand-new vocals, just for us. Also, she released TAOLG because she knows some of her fans have been praying for an old-school song moment from her, keeping in mind that she doesn't even have to and yet she did. I had the pleasure to meet her through a contest I won and spent 20 minutes talking to her and all I can say is she is a funny warm real woman that just loves to have a laugh. Anyway she is 43, she is a grown married woman with 2 children, she is not gonna change so embrace who she is or move on. (Saturday 16 November 2013; 2:24)

After the letter (39,842) by Faith from Uae I did feel concern, because at the end we fans want the best for her and to be on top. But you know, maybe this was a marketing move, grabbing people's attention so they hear the song. Anyway, it seems Mariah also reached the [...] that no one can manage her or decide for her anything but herself, like her image. If her husband couldn't convince her to tone it down, who else can convince her? Honestly, if Mariah wants to claim the top spot again, she needs to reinvent herself, not just her image, but to take risks like trying to train or fix her voice. Mariah started as the girl next door, then the sexy bird, and in 2005 she became the ultimate diva. Untill this day, a new image is much needed because people got bored. Like why not change the blonde look into black? It will be refreshing. And change the personality from the diva into the person who gets involved visually with poor people and building schools for them etc. Or even maybe the stereotype who doesn't give a damn "aka Rihanna style" and now Miley Cyrus. I dunno, but at this current state, I think she [...] needs to take risks and step out of her comfort zone. (Friday 15 November 2013; 22:34)

I agree with Trish, post #39,814 (39,839) by William Mercado from Philippines I was also looking for something with amazing lyrics. The song is good, it's just that I feel that the lyrics aren't that great. I was expecting the lyrics to be on the same level as "Till The End of Time". (Friday 15 November 2013; 22:29)

TAOLG (39,838) by B from USA After hearing the finished version, I can tell the difference. She's an artist and she's emotional and dramatic and that's why we love her. After watching the interview, I think people are taking it too seriously. It was fun and campy. She was playing it up. Her vocals are top notch even though I dislike the lyrics to the verses. (Friday 15 November 2013; 21:39)

Not enough support (39,837) by Tony from Ireland Hahaha. Carla, Im completely agree with you. Although I'm leaving for Ireland, I'm from Spain and the same situation happened there years ago. Everybody was complaining that she wasn't coming to Spain enough and then when she was there everybody was trying to bring her down with silky comments and all kind of stuff about how fat or how low she was looking since Luis Miguel. Cameron. She is not just one of the most talented singers ever, but one of the most amazing human beings that this industry has ever known. Nobody remembers when she was drunk on that speech. Even there she was amazing. I do love Mariah and I will recognize if she ever makes any mistakes, but so far she is just amazing and she deserves more than what she's getting. Look at the Katy Perry fans and how they fight for her. I just wish we could for once be as perseverate as they are. Love and peace, and MC on my stereo. (Friday 15 November 2013; 21:35)
