About Darryle from USA: .

Jewel (49,668) by Darryle from USA Her right hand has a dip in it. It's from when she fell obviously and she's probably still very insecure about it so she wears the glove to cover it up. If you look closely you can see the dip in her Ellen interview. (Tuesday 3 February 2015; 4:03)

All things aside (49,666) by Darryle from USA All the bashing and ranting aside, I truly do want to see Mariah doing better. I want to see Mariah happy, with love in her life, and at the top of the charts. I know she's been having a really tough year and she's pulling through the best she can. I'm not trying to make excuses for some of the mistakes she's made I just know it must be tough for her to take care of her kids, deal with a cheating husband who your currently divorcing, and manage a career. So this me sending my little message of support out to her. Even though it may not seem like it I'm here to support Mariah in time of need. (Tuesday 3 February 2015; 3:29)

It's time to get it together (49,599) by Darryle from USA It's time for Mariah to cut the crap and get it together. It's as if she's purposely planning her downfall. The lambily needs to stop making excuses and turning a blind eye for her. Tech problems are okay every so often because no one's perfect. But when they happen with every show it's probably not completely the tech guys fault. Walking off stage shows a complete lack of disrespect for your audience no matter who you are. Hitting a few belts and then turning the mic to the audience isn't going to convince me you've got your voice back. It's time for Mariah to wake up from whatever dream she's in and realize that if something doesn't change now, the legacy that she's worked her whole life to build will be ruined.

Jazz festival (49,538) by Darryle from USA The jazz festival was an okay performance at best. Her vocals were good but whatever happened with Fantasy whether it be lip syncing or mic problems needs to be addressed by Mariah's team. I was so excited for the festival becuase I was hoping she would show sign of letting go of the MIAMTEC era but it looks like she's still stuck in the past. By the time Vegas rolls around she needs to be in a better place vocal and image wise. Or else she'll be ripped to shreds by critics. (Sunday 1 February 2015; 5:26)

Butterfly concert video (49,377) by Darryle from USA Today I found an old video of the Butterfly concert filmed in Japan that seems to be an official recording of the tour. Does anyone know of an official filmed Butterfly tour? The one I found is simply titled Butterfly World Tour - Tokyo. There's no shaky camera movements or talking during the video. There are cutaways and even a beginning title. At first I thought it the Around The World video but it's not. Does anyone know if there was a scrapped Butterfly tour video?

Fifth Harmony (49,309) by Darryle from USA I think Mariah should embrace Fifth Harmony. They clearly are true fans that are inspired by her music. They've two of her songs (ATYNAF and AIWFCIY) and they have a track on their new album called Like Mariah. It'd be a great way to get her name out there to the younger audience. It'd also make her look better since she sorta blew the Ariana thing, embracing Fifth Harmony would get rid of the notion that Mariah has a problem with female singers. Maybe they could even open up for Mariah in Vegas. (Tuesday 20 January 2015; 4:04)

New songs (49,291) by Darryle from USA I hope those new songs will actually be on the album. Save The Day is the song Mariah said sounds like Joni Mitchell on steroids. I've always wondered what it could sound like. (Monday 19 January 2015; 7:11)

Vegas is great but... (49,243) by Darryle from USA I hope Mariah has more lined up to celebrate MC25. I for one know I won't be going to see Mariah in Vegas and I'm sure there are others that won't be able to as well. It would be sort of lame if the only thing we got was a #1s album and 2 new songs. Hopefully we'll get some demos or a video collection to go along with the album. Obviously getting an album from Mariah is celebration enough but some unreleased stuff would really put the icing on the cake for those of us who can't make it. (Friday 16 January 2015; 23:00)

New Mariah (49,188) by Darryle from USA She's back. I was weary about Vegas at first thinking she might be stuck in the MIAMTEC era but that's not the case. She looks phenomenal. The ball gowns are gowns and the legs have arrived. Whatever was holding her back the past few months is gone. Mariah's back and she's ready to take on the world. (Thursday 15 January 2015; 13:09)

Mariah on Empire (49,175) by Darryle from USA There's this show called Empire about a successful record company and on the show a very big picture of Mariah was featured in one of the scenes. The picture is recent. I think it was from the AIWFCIY spectacular. It made me happy to see her (even if it's just a picture) on the show. People, or at least the producers of Empire, are finally recognizing Mariah's contribution to music. (Thursday 15 January 2015; 4:05)

Difference in Mariah writing about Nick and Nick writing about Mariah (49,165) by Darryle from USA I don't think Mariah writing about Nick is the same as Nick writing about Mariah. Writing and singing songs is Mariah's job. Nick didn't have any response to songs like Angles Cry and It's A Wrap. Or even a song like #Beautiful, that's positive. The only reason Nick is saying anything is because he knows Mariah won't speak out so it's his word against Mariah's silence. Also the songs on MIAMTEC weren't blatantly about Nick. With this album Mariah was writing about the turmoil her marriage was experiencing. Mariah has written songs about Nick before, like the previous ones I just mentioned but she wasn't putting him on blast for it she was just writing down what she felt. Nick knew what he was getting into when he married a songwriter. (Wednesday 14 January 2015; 18:32)

Nick (49,142) by Darryle from USA To be honest I've come to expect this from Nick. He's nothing but an a**hole. I think it's disgusting that he could even talk about Mariah in that way. Have some respect for Mariah as your ex wife and as the mother of your children. Imagine what it'll look like to dem babies when they're 16 and find out daddy bragged about getting spousal support from mommy. My heart goes out to Mariah and I just hope she can find love again this time with someone who's feelings are mutual. (Tuesday 13 January 2015; 3:55)

Ellen (49,104) by Darryle from USA So Mariah's scheduled to appear on Ellen January 15. I'm thinking it might be to announce the Vegas show but I don't. I'm hoping she'll announce a new single or a greatest hits album but I guess I'll have to wait and see. (Saturday 10 January 2015; 18:00)

Mariah's not a performer (49,086) by Darryle from USA A lot of people seem to think that Vegas is a bad idea because Mariah's not a performer. Not true. Mariah can put on a performance it's just that she doesn't try. There are many things she could do to make her shows better. Like ditch the ball gowns unless she sings a ballad. It's time for a change she's played them out. Don't use the same setlist as TECS. Do more up-tempos because it's a fast paced setting. Mariah doesn't work the stage very well so she should bring back the Honey, Heartbreaker, IKWYW, and Fantasy dances instead of standing at the mic. Since it's Vegas she should sing Breakdown and ISIL since the videos incorporate show girl elements it'd be easy to choreograph a chair dance to them. And for the love of God please don't sit on top a piano or in a chaise lounge to sing ballads. Just stand at a mic. It looks so much better. (Saturday 10 January 2015; 1:37)

Mariah's sister (49,054) by Darryle from USA I really hope Mariah can find a way to move past her feud with her sister. 21 years is an incredibly long time to be mad. I understand why she's mad but after what happened with her dad I'd hate for the same thing to happen between her and her sister. (Friday 9 January 2015; 1:46)

Vegas is happening, whether we like it or not (49,053) by Darryle from USA Mariah was spotted outside the Caesar's Palace today. Will all the Vegas reports swirling around I'm 99.9% that Vegas will happen. Instead of talking about how much of a bad idea this could be I say we embrace it. I've decided to look at all the good things that can come from her doing Vegas. This could the thing that bounces her back. It'll put her closer to the US lambs which will help rebuild the relationship. If her voice is good then she'll prove all the critics and haters wrong. By the looks of her recent performances I'd say her voice is better than good. If Mariah plays her cards right Vegas could be great for her career. (Friday 9 January 2015; 1:33)

Solution to a jazz album (48,989) by Darryle from USA While I'd love for Mariah to do a jazz album I don't want her to do one anytime soon. Meaning within the next 10 years. I know a lot of fans want one though. I think the best way for Mariah to do something closer to a jazz album would be to do smooth R&B. An album that's a combination of songs like The Wind, Bliss, Fourth Of July, The Impossible, Subtle Invitation, Circles, Mine Again, I wish You Knew etc. All these songs are smooth r&b but a lot of them have a jazz feel. It'd be an easy way for Mariah to ease herself into the jazz genre without having to do an album full of standards. (Tuesday 6 January 2015; 3:58)

#MC25 (48,988) by Darryle from USA So when I first heard about MC25 I assumed that we'd be getting a #1s album since Mariah's facebook page was all her number one singles but now I think it could be that or something different. Mariah's twitter cover is all of her albums including MIAM. So I don't really know what she's planning now. I guess I'll have to wait to find out. (Tuesday 6 January 2015; 3:53)

Correction (48,950) by Darryle from USA I said Mariah had only 2 #1s since she released the album #1s. I meant 5. (Saturday 3 January 2015; 21:31)

MC25 (48,945) by Darryle from USA From the looks of Mariah's new cover photo I think we might get a #1s album to celebrate her 25th. I don't really want one since she's only had 2 number ones since she released the last #1s. I'd be ok with it if she included some new songs, a videography, and maybe a concert video. If not then I don't think it's worth buying since most of us already have all these songs. (Saturday 3 January 2015; 19:35)

Covers (48,929) by Darryle from USA Butterflies - Michael Jackson You Give Good Love - Whitney Houston Pretty Wings - Maxwell As - Stevie Wonder Killing Me Softly- Fugees version A Change Is Gonna Come - Sam Cooke At Last - Etta James If I Ain't Got You - Alicia Keys (Saturday 3 January 2015; 5:16)

Residency (48,905) by Darryle from USA A residency is a terrible idea. It would be like admitting defeat. A residency is for someone who's star power is waning and can't sell like they used to. Look at Britney and Celine. No offense to either of them but they aren't selling like they used to in the US. Mariah can and is still selling. Also Mariah's voice would have to be in perfect shape for her residency. She doesn't dance so the main attraction is her voice. I really hope these are just rumors because a residency would only make things worse. (Friday 2 January 2015; 18:27)

Reuben (48,896) by Darryle from USA It happened at JD's birthday party in 2006 or 2007. There's a video of it on The Adventures Of Mimi DVD. There is also a video of up on YouTube. (Friday 2 January 2015; 6:46)

Will she celebrate her 25th? (48,884) by Darryle from USA I am a bit worried that Mariah won't celebrate her anniversary because she doesn't like that era. I think it's the era she dislikes the most. She always talks about how the demos are better. She hates the fact that she did the running man in Someday. Also she hasn't performed Someday since about 1993. Despite Mariah not liking that era I still think she'll celebrate it. She knows how much it would mean to the fans. (Thursday 1 January 2015; 20:30)

Madonna (48,872) by Darryle from USA Not to bring her up again but why does Madonna have a problem with Mariah. I know Madonna said something like she'd rather kill herself than be Mariah. Then Mariah said I haven't listen to Madonna since she was popular in like 7th or 8th grade. As far as I know Mariah didn't say anything rude to Madonna. I'm a fan of both Mariah and Madonna and I don't see why both of them can't get along. (Thursday 1 January 2015; 4:07)
