Observation (102,468) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands You're right. And that's why I won't post any comments on this subject anymore. (Wednesday 5 April 2023; 09:50) this is a reply to message 102,467

Observation (102,467) by Stacey from USA I'm surprised you guys entertained the topic for as long as you did, lol. Bless you. (Wednesday 5 April 2023; 08:45)

Observation (102,465) by Edward from USA I think Mariah should drop a single unannounced with a hot popular act. Putting music out at a reasonably time is what keeps the fanbase going. Maybe not every two year, but at least every three year. I guess we all need a new project ASAP. (Wednesday 5 April 2023; 00:56)

Observation (102,466) by Mariahsbaby from usa So now it's boring when someone finally speaks up for Mariah, but when you start spewing vile hateful comments masquerade as "keep in it real", crickets. Go to Mimi on your contacts and press delete already. (Wednesday 5 April 2023; 01:28) this is a reply to message 102,464

Observation (102,464) by TJ from Norway I can't see that you're bringing any positive energy at the table. This is getting boring. (Tuesday 4 April 2023; 20:43)

Observation (102,462) by Lady B from USA 1) Many are doing a great job proving my original point, which was that folks have a lot of time to post negative things about her, before, during and immediately after her anniversary, but no time to wish her the best on her anniversary. That tells me all I need to know about a lot of folks around here. I'm not talking about people who had other stuff to do that week, but folks who were posting on the board a lot during the days before, during and after but had no well wishes. 2) Re: athletes, I won't indulge the rabbit hole this has gone down. I will ask, which singers at this stage of their career have #1 hits and put out quality albums all the time? Name names. Who is this fictitious model of what a singer at this stage should be doing that folks hold her to? How many have had #1 hits in 4 decades? 3) You say she's focused on more things than just music like that's a bad thing. I sure hope she is, she's building and supporting a family, not spending 24/7 every day putting an album out every year, and has certainly earned the right to explore many different areas of her life and interests. (Tuesday 4 April 2023; 02:57)

Observation (102,463) by Carlos from Brazil While we are here bashing Mariah as a singer, as an artist and as everything else why don't we talk about how irrelevant we are as a fanbase? Some self reflection is also needed. Some people here are so proud of following MC since day one while we sit and talk at a freaking messageboard. In a social media era this is like we send each other pigeons with messages. (Tuesday 4 April 2023; 13:15) this is a reply to message 102,462

Observation (102,457) by Edward from USA It's not absurd, go running and tell your ex that. While you can find a few athletes here and there who have cheated, many of them have been found out sooner or later, they've been ridiculed and many of them have been stripped of their "accolades", but that's not the majority, that's why there's a system in place for that. When a singer cheats here and there by lipping, most people don't care as long as you still can sound decent or justify the money you're getting by putting on a good show. Fans shouldn't be taken advantage of just because they're loving fans, they should be respected just the same way the celebrities in question are respected by then. According to your fine logic, just because Mariah has gotten lazy and doesn't give an f nowadays, we should just sit and take it lying down just because she once gave us some great music. No, no and no. She's known for not even doing like doing her own sound check, wtf. Any person who have gotten to a point where they know they can't do their job decently, should retire with dignity, period. But I think it's not that Mariah can't do her job decently, I think that she doesn't want to put in the work to get that outcome. Her pretty caked up face won't just cut it. At least not for me.

Vanishing live in Sydney (Butterfly Tour) (102,461) by Bobby A from United States Wow. This concert should have been released as a live album. Who knows maybe it will one day. I bet Sony Legacy Recordings has tons of recordings that they are just waiting to release with or without MC's permission. (Tuesday 4 April 2023; 01:43) this is a reply to message 102,460

Observation (102,455) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway Oh, please, this is just absurd. Like one of my ex'es said about Oprah Winfrey, don't believe too much in your own shit. This comparison is absurd and not valid. To become an athlete successful until their late thirties commits endless practice and everything in between. Mariah is an artist in music, what she wants to put in it and what she she wants to sacrifice is completely on her own terms. Mariah has got lazy, and will only bring to the table what is least expected by her. I think this is a natural thing of hers, her rebellion self, not wanting to push herself to the extreme to make people, and her Tommy Mottala ex, to love her. Mariah has made it her absolute most important point to make, that she just doesn't care, she wants to do her thing, and nothing else. If we, as her fans, would have directed her career, it would have been very different, still making Mariah sing songs in the key of "Music Box" and "Daydream". Yes, I would have loved it. But as a person who also have been "directed" by people outside, the most important and validating thing is to finally experiance that you are your own queen/king. You have brought the soundtrack to my life, the most important artist that I can think of. Nothing can change anyting, you are the love of my music life, I love you Mariah. (Monday 3 April 2023; 19:05)

Observation (102,456) by Edward from USA We have a few of those members that rarely post anything except when they feel like their self-righteous asses need to tell other fans that they are not fans based on their mental state that day. It's effing ridiculous. I've been a member of this board for 23 years, and have seen many of those super lambs come and go. Telling Robert-Anthony he's just a follower lets you know how many neurons are still part their brains. (Monday 3 April 2023; 19:40) this is a reply to message 102,454

Observation (102,454) by Libra Lamb from USA Please tell me what the point was Mr. All Knowing? See, my point was that my grandmother's birthday celebration was my priority that day, not MC or her fans. I'm old enough to know that there are more important things in life than pleasing complete strangers, like MC, her fans, and her now disqualified non fans. That's why I don't post often, everything you say here can and will be used against you by someone who knows nothing about you for some seriously randomness reasons. It's good enough for me that I send positive thoughts to MC all the time, including on her birthday, even if they are not all typed for you guys to read and pick apart. To me that counts more than typing up words for complete strangers to validate. But you know what? We love everybody. Again, it's not that deep. Take it easy. (Monday 3 April 2023; 15:12)

Observation (102,453) by Edward from USA Because athletes actually jump, dunk, fall, run, perform triple axels etc during their entire career and don't have the luxury of lipping any of their performances. They retire in their late thirties because it's well documented that their bodies are worn out by that age and could actually get hurt if they keep doing it. Michelle Kwan, one of the most loved and awarded figure ice skaters, retired at 26, most in that sport are done by 30. Singers are different. While they're not expected to sing perfectly, they can sing decently into their late seventies. The difference is that athletes can't sit their asses down and expect to win a game, they all have to practice and put in the work before every game during their entire careers. Some singers take good really care of their instruments and some just don't seem to care. You can't lip a triple Axel or a slam dunk even on a promotional presentation. (Monday 3 April 2023; 14:38)

Observation (102,451) by Bobby A from United States Steve, try again. I am more than just a follower. I am Mimi's #1 Lamb since I heard VOF on the radio in 1990. Young Lambs like you came along after 2002. I am critical of MC on here, but it is out of concern for MC and how her career has been on a downward spiral since 2013. 1990 Lambs want her to reset and give us what we all know she's capable of doing.

Observation (102,438) by Libra Lamb from USA Although I do not come here to bash or pick MC apart, I don't need anyone telling me if I classify as a fan or not. I simply did not wish her a "Happy Anniversary " because I was too busy celebrating my own grandmother's 95th birthday. Also, this is a fan board, not a direct link to her, it's not guaranteed that she would even see it here. I have, however, wished her well and sent lovely direct messages to her via social media, and guess what? No response. But I don't care, I am sure she's too busy to acknowledge everyone just like I was busy on her birthday. It's not that deep. Take it easy. (Sunday 2 April 2023; 05:02)

LA Pride (102,448) by Nicole from US I love reading all of your messages, whether critical of her and her voice as much as the appreciation messages. While we all have love for her, I just hope she still can make us proud as fans of hers. On that note, who else is coming to LA on June 20? Nevada lamb are you here? It's Nikki from Detroit.

Observation (102,441) by Bobby A from United States Randy, that is great video compliation of MC's excuses. Watching it made realize that MC clearly has an identity self-image issue that has affected her ability to stop worrying about what people think about her. I can relate to this because I am extra sensitive about how people perceive me. Rosie assured her each time, but she still couldn't accept her sincere praises of her performances. Looking In, I Am Free, Close My Eyes, Outside, Fly Like A Bird, Camouflage, and Potrait all tell the story of MC's identity self-image issue. Losing her voice has only made it worse for MC.
