Re: Expectations vs reality (100,542) (100,546) by Libra Lamb from USA I did not mean to make you feel bad. I'm sorry again. And Beyoncé's new song may have to grown on me, for now it's meh. I too am so ready for new music from our girl Mimi. I think we're all discouraged or disappointed if there's no new music, just a bunch of talk about it. (Wednesday 22 June 2022; 00:07)

Re: Bros and Pride (100,538) (100,545) by Todd from Sydney, Australia Side note. The butt in the jeans on the left in the promo pic for Bros: 10 out of 10. (Tuesday 21 June 2022; 23:33)

Re: Expectations vs reality (100,543) (100,544) by Bobby A from United States Thank you, Libra. I have come to realize that MC is human and not as young as she used to be. (Tuesday 21 June 2022; 19:30)

Re: Expectations vs reality (100,542) (100,543) by Libra Lamb from USA I didn't meant to feel bad, I'm sorry. I think we have all just come to expect so much of MC that we forget that she's only human, like you and I. She just sings, writes, produces, etc much better that we can. We love you MC. I guess I will check out B's new song. If Mariah likes her, than I like her. Have a great day. (Tuesday 21 June 2022; 17:20)

Re: Expectations vs reality (100,541) (100,542) by Bobby A from United States Now, I really feel bad. I am going to stop being negative about my girl, MC. I guess I want new music already. But that Robin S. sample, Show Me Love that Beyonce used for her new song, took back to the club in 1992 only showing up to hear the sped up vocals of Dreamlover. I love you, MC.

Re: Expectations vs reality (100,536) (100,541) by Libra Lamb from USA She posted that video in support of her friend Billy Eichner and the new movie Bros. I thought it was cute and didn't see anything wrong with it. Unless I missed something. She's got my attention and many others already, with or without fun videos. Let her have fun and be silly even if it's just for "attention". Sometimes I think she can't do anything right by some of you on this board. Also, she's plugging the Rainbow album because it's Pride month. Already got my Pride merch on her website. As far as Beyoncé, I'll take y'all's word for it. (Tuesday 21 June 2022; 05:34)

Re: Bros and Pride (100,538) (100,540) by Bobby A from United States Oh, I understand now, Marty. (Tuesday 21 June 2022; 03:13)

Great mash up (100,539) by Bill from the UK Stumbled upon this on YouTube. I know we've all been a bit negative lately, so maybe this will cheer everybody up and highlight MC's talent (and that of the fans). (Tuesday 21 June 2022; 00:12)

Bros and Pride (100,538) by Matty from Vancouver Canada It's literally and simply her supporting her friend Billy Eichner's new film "Bros" that comes out at the end of September. (Monday 20 June 2022; 22:09)

Re: BET Awards (100,535) (100,537) by Jamie from UK But aren't you also speculating by saying that she won't be doing anything. Who knows what is coming up? (Monday 20 June 2022; 21:41)

Re: Expectations vs reality (100,533) (100,536) by Bobby A from United States Have you seen MC's video today that she posted on Twitter with Heartbreaker playing in the background? Why does she make videos like this? It does nothing but make her seem like she is seeking attention. She doesn't have to worry about getting all the attention this week because Beyonce is going to snatch it at midnight for the rest of the week. Lol. (Monday 20 June 2022; 20:49)

BET Awards (100,535) by T from USA I'm already seeing rumors on twitter and other places that Mariah may perform at this years awards. Honestly, can people just stop speculating. Mariah will not be performing, she will not even be attending. This is how a lot of fans get let down. We will not see Mariah again in a promotional vein until Christmas. Let it go. (Monday 20 June 2022; 17:18)

Re: Songwriters speech (100,530) (100,534) by Steve from USA Guys. I mean she was very loose and conversational, but let's all settle down. She's not having some sort of breakdown or whatever is being insinuated in various posts. She seems completely fine and happy to me. Some of you are saying she's drunk too - is she? She doesn't seem drunk to me at all. Some of ya'll here just love to be negative. I've noticed the pessimistic slant of this particular message board for a while now. It's hard to read. (Monday 20 June 2022; 15:37)

Re: Expectations vs reality (100,528) (100,533) by T from USA You have to admit, she came close. (Monday 20 June 2022; 01:45)

Mental illness (100,532) by Matty from Vancouver Canada Just to clarify my perspective: because some of us may have a diagnosed with mental illness, does not make anyone one of us an expert. That's the thing about mental health: everyone's human experience is different; there's no single diagnosis. "We're all the same, for different reasons." (Sunday 19 June 2022; 22:07)

Re: Expectations vs reality (100,523) (100,531) by Jamie from UK I hope she is working with Patricia again, she looked fly in that era. We need another pink dress in time square moment. (Sunday 19 June 2022; 21:13)

Re: Songwriters speech (100,495) (100,530) by Terna from Nigeria "A Beyonce fan gleefully sent it to me at 9AM." I knew this had something to do with those Beyonce insecure fans you insist on hanging out with. Just another weapon to try and shoot down Mariah, to try and undermine her sheer greatness facts (all caps). Beyonce has never, can never and will never be heralded the same way Mariah Carey is. Mariah is the music industry and music personified. Point blank period. Now since you do not have the presence of mind to defend Miss Carey. Here's some shade for those "friends" of yours. When Beyonce has a Diamond Album, then they can speak, until then. Secondly, "The Emancipation of Mimi" was everything Beyoncé's "Dangerously in Love" album never was and never will be, the album she wishes was hers. You better come correct Randy. Know who you Stan. Beyonce is not the one getting inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, it is Mariah Carey. (Sunday 19 June 2022; 21:09)

Re: Songwriters speech (100,475) (100,529) by Terna from Nigeria Ditzy maybe, going off on a tangent maybe, incoherent definitely not. But you should also notice she was nervous and aware of the time before she outstays her welcome. I think it is a case of over planning what to say (thus the notes on paper) and then in the real moment, it does not quite go as planned. Lol. Randy you only show up to complain about Mariah, go through your old posts and see if I'm wrong. (Sunday 19 June 2022; 20:47)

Re: Expectations vs reality (100,523) (100,528) by Matty from Vancouver Canada Yikes, to compare Mariah to Anna Nicole Smith indicates you know very little about Anna Nicole's life and why she walked the path she did. I'll stop here because wow, to disrespect both women at once, is a task. Howard K Steer vs. Stella. Howard was successful in his life ending destruction of a beloved women, Stella not even close. (Sunday 19 June 2022; 19:23)

Re: Expectations vs reality (100,523) (100,527) by Stacey from USA I'm not struggling, lol. I came to terms with my expectations of Mariah vs my own beliefs a long, long time ago. With that being said, I am allowed to express those opinions just like everyone else here. I expressed an opinion, shared some personal insight on a topic and some have a problem with that. Some even mocked those struggles. That is what truly is sad. I'll always wish MC the best and appreciate her for her musical genius. "They can say anything they want to say, try to bring me down, there's a light in me that shines brightly, they can try, but they can't take that away from me." Carey on and chill out. It ain't that deep. Peace. Happy Father's Day to all the amazing guys out there, including Nick. He's a good dad and co-parents well the twins with MC. (Sunday 19 June 2022; 18:59)

Re: Expectations vs reality (100,523) (100,526) by RibbonB from USA She's been bff's with Pamela Anderson and Courtney Love. Mimi is "verse". (Sunday 19 June 2022; 18:00)

Re: Eddy (100,522) (100,525) by Edward from USA See, that's a card I fogot about, "The Goat Card". (Sunday 19 June 2022; 17:54)

Re: Expectations vs reality (100,523) (100,524) by Bobby A from United States You're right on it, T. We all think Mariah's career would take off again if she went back to formula of her debut album of ballads and the total package. However, we get the Mariah who finds singing ballads boring. So, what we get is the hip hop diva MC. If John Legend can work with Ryan Tedder and give the world the brillant Honey featuring Muni Long, then why won't MC call Ryan Tedder or Greg Kurstin up to create her old formula of ballads? (Sunday 19 June 2022; 15:58)

Expectations vs reality (100,523) by T from USA I think what we're all struggling with is what we expect and what we get. And lots of that has to do with Mariah herself. I mean, in many of those Christmas interviews just six months ago she would say that she has her E=MC2 trainer Patricia back living with her. I know I know, that doesn't mean anything but Mariah must know the link the fans will make. The last time she worked with Patricia was right before Touch My Body. It's natural to assume that she would get back into shape with that comment. Then there's all the talk about the voice and being so inspired. Linking her time out of the spotlight like the time she took to write and record Butterfly. Now we here there's no album in sight. We expect Mariah to have a Beyonce career, in reality we are getting something like Anna Nicole Smith. (Sunday 19 June 2022; 14:15)

Eddy (100,522) by Stacey from USA We are now considered goats. I'm so honored, aren't you? (Sunday 19 June 2022; 11:59)
