The announcement (40,554) by Licia from USA I was disappointed that it wasn't news on the album or the new song, but I choose to focus on the good she's doing for a good cause. I agree she should not have made us wait. She should have just revealed it or said "pip announcement for the St. Jude charity". Anyway as I said, it's a good cause and I'm not going to cry about it too long. Lol. I was extra disappointed in how the fans on Twitter acted. It's hard to be sympathetic with them when they act like savages and are so dramatic. (Tuesday 14 January 2014; 16:06)

Mariah: unplugged and acoustic (40,553) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia That should be the name of her concert. It's about time Mariah changes all her old songs arrangement to an acoustic and unplugged version. Meaning, it would only be Mariah and her microphone and be backed by only a guitar or piano. Just listen to her recent performance at Jimmy Fallon where it's only her and a piano. She can also take her time to finish the song (ala Whitney style). (Tuesday 14 January 2014; 15:55)

Announcement / tour game (40,552) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ugh super disappointed darling. Why Mariah why (said like Mariah). I was checking her page again and again to read the announcement even though I was pretty sure it would be just the official single announcement. Then after so long it arrives and it's about the charity, which is a great gesture on her part, but like someone else pointed out, why wait for 2 days to announce it? Plus no details whatsoever on the new single. Just that it comes out on February. Only people who saw the NYE performance know the date fixed is 14th February. With exactly a month left shouldn't she start with hyping up the single so that it gets a lot of attention? I almost expected the announcement would be of the album. But alas. I'll only wait on MC, if it was anyone else I would have given up. But this time I want her to do it right. And about the other "game" about dream tour, I wouldn't want it to be called "Art of letting go", it would sound like a farewell album. Plus the "intimate night" part has already been used for Charmbracelet, right? So what's the point? (Tuesday 14 January 2014; 15:13)

New game (40,551) by clueey23 from USA I don't know how many times we've listed our favorite albums and songs on this board, but what about a new game. What would be your dream tour? I think it should be simply called "The Art of Letting Go Tour, an Intimate Night with Mariah Carey". I would like her to play smaller venues, clubs and theaters at the beginning of her tour and let it grow from there. And on certain dates she has guests. For example, instead of Always Be My Baby original, she got Xscape and Brat to do the remix with her one show. (Tuesday 14 January 2014; 14:49)

Announcement (40,550) by clueey23 from USA Yes, disappointed! I thought adding the necklace to the grand prize was a touch of class. You know MC could've kept that necklace and gave it to Roe, so I just think it's cool that she thought to give it to a fan. But if you read my post from yesterday about the announcement, I was one of the fans hoping for music news. On another note, does anyone think releasing the video a week before the single release could be a good marketing tool? Like a week before 2/14 MC releases the video for the single to get the promotion train going, instead of waiting for the visual? Do you all think there is a little of a disconnect between MC and us (fans)? (Tuesday 14 January 2014; 14:22)

ABC (40,549) by Tory from Australia Anytime You Need A Friend, Butterfly, Christmas Time Is In The Air Again, Dreamlover, Emotions, Forever, Get Your Number (only G song, but its one of my fave MC records anyway), Heartbreaker, If It's Over, Just To Hold You Once Again, Lullaby, Make It Happen, Now That I Know, Outside, Prisoner, The Roof, Someday, To Be Around You, Underneath The Stars, Vision Of Love (Vanishing or VOL? so hard lol), Without You, X-Girlfriend (by default, don't like this song lol), Yours. Woo some like M was real difficult to choose. (Tuesday 14 January 2014; 11:26)

ABC of Mariah songs (40,548) by Tory from Australia Seeing everyone listing off their favourite MC songs from each album, I thought I'd come up with something different. Something I guess some would find harder to list. So basically go through the alphabet and list your favourite song beginning with that letter (excluding Z and whatever other letter she doesn't have a song under). For e.g the letter B: "Babydoll", "Breakdown", "Bringin On The Heartbreak", "Boy (I Need You)" etc. Out of the bunch, I choose "Butterfly". Then you can go through the rest of the alphabet. It's tough since you are choosing songs from her entire catalogue and not just your favourite song from each album. To make it easier, follow this link. (Tuesday 14 January 2014; 11:17)

Webmaster (40,547) by Will from England I did! It's just I went straight to the message board, posted, then saw. But I'm glad I'm not the only one. (Tuesday 14 January 2014; 10:41)

Re: The pip announcement (40,546) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands Will from England wrote: "I am not going to lie, but am I the only one who was a teeny, tiny bit disappointed with the 'pip announcement'?" Sometimes I wonder if you guys ever read the news I post on my website. (Tuesday 14 January 2014; 10:34)

The pip announcement (40,545) by Will from England I am not going to lie, but am I the only one who was a teeny, tiny bit disappointed with the "pip announcement"? Of course, it is a very sweet gesture, to give a fan something that has so much personal (and musical) history and it's for a good cause at the end of the day, and I'm not going to bash her for that. I mean, to get anything that personal from Mariah is a nice and generous gift to the fans. But with a single (and album) coming out over the next few months, one would have expected the "pip announcement" to be about that or at least album news. Especially if you hold back the news for two days. My thought is: why hold back this news for two days? Why not just announce it on the day that she said she had a pip announcement? Again, I'm not bashing her for promoting a charity event, it just seems to me that to say you have a "pip announcement", wait for two days, just for that, seems a bit OTT.

Edward and Isaac (40,544) by Lamb_O_Chop from Australia Awww thanks Edward, that meant a lot coming from you boo. If we all know one thing, it's that Edward never lies. Lol. And you're exactly right, she poured her soul into CB. It came on the heels of one of the lowest most vulnerable points of her career, so like Licia I really connected with her on this one. Which is why I considered it the last real Mariah Carey album. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed everything that followed and she even gave me CB moments with FLAB, I Wish You Well, and Languishing. But with those album she had gotten her swag back and it seemed more about singing a certain way and making radio friendly hits. That's all fine, I get it, we all love her mid, full, and belting voice, but I just want her to leave her heart and soul on the floor with this next album and just do Mariah. Which brings me to Isaac: with this new album I just want some real heartfelt music, with great meaningful lyrics whether she's belting to the top of her lungs or whispering a sweet lullabies to dem babies. (She always mixes it up anyway.) I just want to feel her. I agree "The Art Of Letting Go" set the perfect tone for me, I hope she gives more raw heartfelt ballads on that level with a the perfect blend of stone grooves in the mix.

Don't Play That Song For Me mp3 (40,542) by Edward from USA By the way, for those who might be interested in an mp3 or Mariah's version of "Don't Play That Song For Me", just shoot me an email at b_terius@yahoo.com. I can't believe Mariah didn't actually record this song in the studio and put it on her debut album or on Emotions. I guess since it was gospel, and they were selling her a pop artist, it didn't fit well in either one. (Tuesday 14 January 2014; 1:24)

Lamb_O_Chop / about Charmbracelet (40,541) by Edward from USA Lamb_O_Chop, I completely agree with you. In no way were you being disrespectful or pushing your opinion on others. You were just defending Charmbracelet from your point of view without dismissing anybody else's opinion. I personally prefer Charmbracelet over Memoirs. I think that, even though Mariah mainly whispered on Charmbracelet, her soul was more connected to it than it was to Memoirs. Charmbracelet for Mariah was like the sequel to Butterfly, very personal. That's why "Lullaby" was a continuation to "The Roof". I think the problem was that on Buttefly Mariah sung in her mid range, but on Charmbracelet she went straight into a whisper mode that bothered many of us. Memoir was more playful, but disconnected at the same time. (Tuesday 14 January 2014; 1:12)

Lamb_O_Chop (40,540) by Isaac from USA Thanks for replying, I appreciate it. Glad you know and like it. I have the song, and enjoy it a lot. And I agree, I would love to hear all the cuts that didn't make the albums. Especially in her debut. Because 1990 was a great year. You know her demo called "Weakness of the body"? It's great. If you haven't heard it, please do. I too think that songs like "Dreamlover", "Music box", "Now that I know", "Everything fades away" and "Do you think of me" are all her best/most special tracks. They all are great. Id also like to know what you'd like or would want from this new album. I'd really just want good songs with nice lyrics. And would like to add another number one hit to her name. I have faith in her and believe that "The art of letting go" will be good, if not great. (Tuesday 14 January 2014; 1:09)

Isaac Ortiz (40,539) by Lamb_O_Chop from Australia Hey there Lamby! I absolutely adore "Do You Think Of Me". Are you kidding me? The vocals, the musical transitions, all the way up to the trumpets at the end. I consider "Do You Think of Me" "Everything Fades Away" younger equally beautiful sister. Could you imagine all the hidden treasures MC has from that era? Ugh. What I would give to hear them. I see great minds think alike and have similar great taste in MC's catalogue.

Lamb-O-Chop (40,537) by Isaac from USA Hey, I found out from your messages that you like the song "Everything fades away". Which I like myself and have. But I wanted to know if you know or like the song "Do you think of me"? It's pretty good. Great lyrics and a great beat. Similar to "All in your mind". If you see this, please let me know. I'm curious to know what you think of it if you've heard it before. (Monday 13 January 2014; 22:27)

Re: Will / Charmbracelet aka the masterpiece (40,536) by Lamb_O_Chop from Australia Loath it all you want chop. I will continue to praise the album and make a statement of my own opinion. When did I say you had to love the album? I just simply defended the album, because I feel it's been unfairly trashed. Why are you so bothered? You're the one that's upset that not everyone agrees with you. So why don't you just learn how to deal with the fact that some of us think it's one of her best albums regardless of your negative view on it, and I promise you'll be a lot happier. (Monday 13 January 2014; 21:56)

Announcement (40,535) by clueey23 from USA With MC being a "citizen of the world" what time are we gonna get this "pip" announcement? What could it be? Single title? Single snippet? Wouldn't it be awesome if she changed the album release date, moved it up instead of pushing it back. Shakira and Rihanna released a song today and it was yikes. I didn't care for it, at all. Has anyone seen the video clips of MC performing from NYE in London? I enjoyed it. Thoughts? (Monday 13 January 2014; 21:08)

February 14 (40,534) by Isaac from USA I really hope Mariah's new single will be as good as "It's like that" or "I stay in love". What does anyone else think? (Monday 13 January 2014; 19:26)

Mariah Facebook (40,533) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So I have been checking her Facebook page "likes" every now and then and I am happy to see it has been increasing almost on a daily basis. That's a good thing, right? I think in the last 2 months or less alone there has been an increase by a million! I am happy. Wasn't there supposed to be an announcement today? Was there any time specified? (Monday 13 January 2014; 17:03)

I want to know what love is remixes (40,532) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter These are some other remixes I came across: 1) I Want To Know What Love Is (Low Sunday Tempo) 2) I Want To Know What Love Is (The Popstar Radio Edit) 3) I Want To Know What Love Is (Chriss Ortega Club Mix) or Edit 4) I Want To Know What Love Is (Cutmore's Club Shakedown) or Edit 5) I Want To Know What Love Is (Nu Addiction Club Mix) or Edit (Monday 13 January 2014; 12:03)

I wanna know what love is? (40,531) by Commodore from USA Ok lambs I need help with this one lol. So I work out at Planet fittness and believe it or not they play alot of Mariah stuff on their music service like Emotions, Fantasy, Heartbreaker, Shake It Off etc. The problem is they play a dance mix of" I wanna know what love is". I think it was never released or promoted. But this mix is her best to date. All the tv says when it comes on the track is called "I wanna know what love is remix". I checked wiki for what dance mixes were released but those are not listed. I've been looking for this song for like 3 months. (Monday 13 January 2014; 7:15)

Lamb O Chop (40,530) by Will from Australia I don't like Charmbracelet, obviously from my post! Some people do. I wanted to say contrary to those saying they loved it that I loathed it. I'm actually allowed to not like it as it's just my opinion. Why don't you stop arguing with fans on this page for once and trying to control what is said? Stating things as being the truth when it's based on opinion is a bit silly. You should just accept by now that a) Not everyone has the same opinions on Mariah. b) People are allowed to express their free opinions on this message board. My advice is to really contemplate "I'm making a statement, of my own opinion!" Now I've calmed down. (Monday 13 January 2014; 6:20)
