Messageboard

Vocal peak (39,523) by Will from Australia It's really interesting to hear people talk about the Emotions era as MCs vocal peak. I don't actually think that the album is underrated at all, for me the fast jams are too over produced and some of the ballads are just forgettable in terms of a Mariah ballad. When I listen to the Daydream tour, I am just in awe of her vocal ability then, I actually prefer those versions of her songs than the actual studios, Without You, Open Arms, and especially I Don't Wanna Cry which she makes sound like it was from the Daydream album, incredible but that's just my opinion!

Nikki (39,522) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Great post about the tabloids. I totally agree. It's a bunch of crap. Lol. I have a feeling TAOLG is a lovely powerful ballad and I'm curious to see if there is any significance to the release being 11.11. In other news, I was over at MariahCarey.com recently, and I see that the company responsible for running the website gas changed! The messageboard finally loos presentable without errors. (Two years later.) Lol. The official website has been horribly managed, and I hope this means good things are coming for fans around the world, and for Mariah's professional representation as a whole.

Emotions (39,521) by Bill from the UK It's great to see all the Emotions love. I completely agree that this is her most underrated album, and what's more upsetting is that it features absolutely fantastic vocals. Every song is a winner, and she has such class, maturity and dignity. I love the soulful numbers, and the quiet storm way the album ends. Til The End Of Time and The Wind make for such a dramatic and atmospheric closing. I also loved the cover shot, those sepia hues and her throwing her hair back. Just stunning.

Emotions / new single (39,520) by Paul from USA Amen! Emotions, without a doubt, is her most underrated and most timeless album. Overshadowed by her debut album and the best-selling Music Box. I just don't get the lackluster reviews for it. They need to get their ears cleaned. The singles were great and the non-singles, too (especially "If It's Over"). She was at her peak vocally. I can't wait for her new single, now. Hopefully, she isn't just overhyping it. I hope it's something her older fans have been waiting a very long time for. "Beautiful" was good and all, but too much Miguel and the very tacky music video tainted it for me. (Saturday 19 October 2013; 13:45)

Tids and bits (39,519) by nikki from usa From what I've heard TAOLG is supposed to be a ballad. No, MC's not cheating, I'm feeling extra presumptuous when tabloids start talking based off of nothing more than, "Look, she's not wearing her wedding ring, they must be getting a divorce." It's not like she broke her arm or anything where inflammation or pain killers could cause swelling. I love how the National Inquirer's headline is them divorcing on the same day Mariah tweets herself half unwrapped for Nick's birthday. Call me paranoid, but all these "guys" MC is supposed to be cheating with are guys she's worked with while single. She didn't hookup with them then, so we're to believe she waited until she was married with kids and then decided to throw everything away? Not even the tabloids foresaw MC and Nick dating, let alone marrying. So, really how good are their "inside sources"? They've been predicting their demise ever since. The tabloids are ticked. But, it's their own fault for referring to the voices inside their heads as "sources". Anyone else stuck on the part, "not just tabloid rumors, legitimate sources too, tabloids and otherwise"? I wonder if the other legitimate sources are whatchamacallit or thingumabob. (Saturday 19 October 2013; 6:19)

Rock and a hard place (39,518) by Stacey from USA It wad nice to see Walter A. speak so highly of MC even after all these years. You can only imagine the tough spot he was in during Tommy and Mariah's breakup. He loves working with MC, but is employed by Sony. Tough spot. I do hope they work together again and let the past stay where it belongs. On a side note, I think My All sounds perfect. I think strings would have taken away from the raw emotion of the song.

Manny (39,517) by enwar00 from usa Rodney Jerkins produced So Lonely, the One And Only part 2 remix off the Mimi platinum edition. When she blew up hard core in 2005 that was one of almost 10 songs off that album they played on the radio here in Chicago. Not sure if she and Rodney did anything else together that didn't end up on her albums. (Saturday 19 October 2013; 0:39)

Hope Street (39,516) by lil star from untied states What ever happened to the rumoured single "Hope Street"? Does anyone know if it's planed to make the album? When they described it, I was really interested to hear it. "This isn't cheesy rent-a-rapper Mariah who squeals every note possible. It is awesome, experimental, and sounds like a Joni Mitchell record on steroids. Mariah uses the lower register of her voice to an amazing effect," and "Apparently, Mariah is tired of trying to appeal to teenagers and has made an album that is heartfelt, personal and very artistic." It sounds like a song hardcore fans have been waiting for. But that was so long ago and I'm sure the album has made many changes since then. I'm just hopping we get to hear this song and a lot of the songs recorded during this time period. (Friday 18 October 2013; 19:40)

Rodney Jerkins (39,515) by Manny from U.S. Mariah mentioned she worked with Rodney before. I can't remember which song/ album. Can anyone help me out? What do you guys think of this collaboration? Mariah sounds passionate and ecstatic over the new song. I'm wondering if it'll be an uptempo or slower song. (Friday 18 October 2013; 19:21)

Emotions / Walter A / Letting Go (39,514) by RadChad from United States I must be in the minority, because Emotions was actually my favorite album for the longest time (during the Daydream era up until after Rainbow). There's not one bad song on that album, truly a masterpiece. I know I'm late, but it was good hearing the real story (from the horses mouth) of how MC and Walter's working relationship ended. I appreciate how highly he spoke of MC and how shut ol dude down when he was kinda trying it with MC. Had him explaining himself and everything, I bet if Walter had joined in and didn't nicely get him together he would've taken his down talk a little further. Walter shut that down quick, he still has our girl's back. If they haven't secretly already worked together on this album (which I believe they did) then io definitely think they will, it's not too late. I hate wanting a huge period of time to move by quickly, because I believe in enjoying everyday like it's your last. However I always find myself doing this with Mariah's new music. I just hope it really exceeds all our expectations and truly blow us away. (Friday 18 October 2013; 18:37)

Which? (39,513) by OGmattyICE from US Which co-performer do you think Mariah has "clicked" with better: Trey Lorenz or Jermaine Dupri? Food for thought. (Friday 18 October 2013; 18:19)

Emotions (39,512) by Stacey from USA That album just shows what an amazing voice MC has. Some of the notes she hits on Emotions and even Make It Happen are simply phenomenal. Even she was surprised Civiles and Cole could get her to sing that high. Till the End Of Time has got to be one of my top 5 ballads. The emotional intensity of that song is unmatched. (Friday 18 October 2013; 18:13)

Emotions (39,511) by Martyn from England, UK I totally agree about Emotions. "Till The End of Time" is my all time favourite Mariah song. Such an underrated track. I love how intense it gets after the middle 8, and the slow fade out at the end. It's just heavenly! (Friday 18 October 2013; 14:25)

Emotions (39,510) by Sasha from Nomansland A great album! I'd love her to make an album with the same intensity and maturity in the lyrics and in the emotions. (Friday 18 October 2013; 11:33)

Mariah Carey cheating with Jeezy (39,509) by Cheryl Jones from American I hate this. This got to be a lie. Mariah Carey has a beautiful family. I just think they want someone to pick on. Well she shouldn't be the one. Maybe she forgot to put her wedding ring on. 40 something is the age where you start forgetting. I hate this because I don't like noone lying on my sister. So Mariah Carey, don't let them worry you, I know you have a very busy life because you don't get to read and answer all your facebook messages. I have about three you didn't answer. Love you always sister. (Friday 18 October 2013; 11:28)

Emotions (39,508) by David from Australia Out of all MC's albums, that took me the longest to appreciate. I realize the beauty of it now, though. Phenomenal. (Friday 18 October 2013; 2:26)

Underrated (39,507) by enwar00 from usa Does anyone think Emotions is Mimi's most underrated album? (Friday 18 October 2013; 1:54)

Lee (39,506) by RibbonB from USA That rumor has been around for months on various blogs. The reason it hasnt "spread" is because it's just silly and most people ignore it. Any time MC poses in the studio with a guy, rumors tend to start. MC got much more press and funny comments for her boob selfie to Nick for his birthday. (Thursday 17 October 2013; 23:39)

This new era (39,505) by Will from Australia I'm excited about the new single and hopefully the album drops soon after. I am also a bit weary about getting too optimistic, as in the past few years Mariah has talked up a lot of her new songs and they've just been average - Triumphant, Bring It On Home, Almost Home and Beautiful. I hope she stays away from auto tune as there was way too much of that on Memoirs and limits those whispery vocals to 2 or 3 individual songs rather than switching into it in parts on every track. This record is so huge for her. (Thursday 17 October 2013; 22:18)

Eric (39,504) by Will from England Wow, that's such a beautiful song! This is kinda how I hope Mariah's version will sound, lyrically and musically. (Thursday 17 October 2013; 21:22)

The Art Of Letting Go - Mikaila (39,503) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands "The art of letting go" is also a song by Mikaila. It was a bonus track on the Japanese release of her self-titled debut album. (Thursday 17 October 2013; 20:41)

Coincidence (39,502) by Lee from UK It's funny how these cheating rumours have begun shortly before a single release. Now I'm not saying these rumours are being started by Mariah's team as a way of keeping her name in the news ahead of a big release, but it is a coincidence. (Thursday 17 October 2013; 20:17)

Matt (39,501) by Will from England I meant as singles lol. (Thursday 17 October 2013; 19:14)

Marissa (39,500) by Randy from USA I'm with you. I could care less about a single. She's released three in the last 12 months. I want an album. I tend to like the songs on the albums better than the singles. In addition, record companies are not releasing albums unless the single is hot and I don't want a lackluster chart performance due to the juvenile state of music lovers that contribute to retail and radio to push the album back again. And I've warned this board once, stop beating up on Memoirs. Or else! (Thursday 17 October 2013; 18:35)

Will (39,499) by OGmattyICE from US Don't forget Music Box. (Thursday 17 October 2013; 17:07)
