About Darryle from USA: .

Concerts (48,868) by Darryle from USA I don't know if anybody knows this but you can buy Mariah's concerts on YouTube. I just discovered it today. There is a youtube channel called The Orchard Movies where you can buy MTV Unplugged, Around The World, and Mariah Carey at MSG. I thought that was cool since they don't sell her DVDs in stores a lot of the times you have to buy them through Amazon or Ebay and then wait for them to arrive but now you can get them instantly.

What Mariah should do to celebrate 25 years (48,867) by Darryle from USA We don't know what Mariah has planned for 2015 yet but one thing that's certain is that it'll be her 25th anniversary in the industry. I hope that she goes all out. I think she should remix the singles from the first album with all new vocals. Or at least remix Someday since it's the fastest song. She should have the album remastered and re-released on CD and vinyl. On the re-release she should include the demo tape she gave to Tommy and all the demos written in the 1990. She should also make a DVD copy of "The First Vision". Of course she should promote all of this like a regular album with sit down interviews and performances of her first singles on tv. I think regular promo would remind everyone that she's been here for 25 years, she's a legend and no one can replace her. (Thursday 1 January 2015; 0:32)

The voice (48,853) by Darryle from USA I take for granted Mariah's voice so often. I never truly realized why people call her "The Voice" until this very day. I was watch the Tokyo Dome performance of Hero and I was just awestruck. Her voice is truly one of a kind. From her 5 octave range to her whisper voice to her full voice it's all amazing. She can so easily transition from full voice to head with the snap of her fingers. Her whistle register at its fullest practically sounds like she's communicating with birds. Her ridiculously underappreciated lower register can shake the ground. She's always given us 100% of her voice. She's eclipsed so many of her studio recordings and she's re-sang 100s of remixes. Then there's the fact that she performs some of the most daunting songs to ever be recorded, live on tour. I know sometimes I bash Mariah for the state of her voice but I'm truly grateful that she shares her incredible gift with me. (Wednesday 31 December 2014; 7:37)

Nick (again) (48,834) by Darryle from USA So Nick jumped to twitter to say this: "I am always an open book but personal matters are just that 'personal'. So please respect my family and respect the process." I'm all for him defending his family but what does Nick deem personal? So his divorce is personal but the fact the he "f***** the s*** out of Mariah" on their wedding night isn't? I'll be so glad when Mariah is free of his sorry ass. (Tuesday 30 December 2014; 8:11)

Really? (48,833) by Darryle from USA That list is a complete joke. It's way to soon for her to be dating since she's not even divorced from Nick. The men they suggested are mostly crap anyways. I'm pretty sure Mariah thinks Usher's bleak since he blew smoke in her face. JD would be weird given their background. Does she even know Jamie Foxx? Derek's old news. Everyone including Mariah should be over their relationship. Nothing wrong with Taye, I just don't see them together. I do hope Mariah finds love just not with any of these men.

Next album (48,821) by Darryle from USA I know a lot of people are really wanting Mariah to do a jazz/blues album next. I don't think it's right. While I'm completely here for Mariah doing one I don't think it'd be right for the very next album. I think Mariah needs do whatever it takes for her next album to be big. I know some people don't care about charts but I do. I don't want Mariah to go out as someone who couldn't get a hit. Especially since next year is her 25 year in the industry (assuming the album comes in 2015) who wouldn't want her to be on top. The next album needs to be number one and have the song of the decade on it. So hopefully she'll give us a Daydream/Butterfly/TEOM feel with the next album since those are her best albums.

Nick (48,818) by Darryle from USA I think a major cause of their separation probably has something to do with Nick cheating. It hasn't been confirmed that Nick cheated but I think Mariah's intuition is right. Nick wanted Mariah for her money and the weight her name carries he doesn't care about her. With each article I read about Nick and Mariah Nick that my opinion of him worsens. It's like he doesn't respect Mariah enough to keep his mouth shut. (Monday 29 December 2014; 5:51)

MIAMTEC era (48,774) by Darryle from USA This was my first era as a lamb and I must say I think it was a pretty good one. Sure I didn't get the expierence of seeing Mariah's face blasted all over tv and magazines or hearing her music on the radio but I did get some things from it. I got the best album Mariah's made in years and one of her best overall. I got the experience of seeing Mariah's tour videos and just being in complete awe of her voice. I saw her break world records by being the first American artist to have 5 sold out shows in China. Then there's the first annual AIWFCIY spectacular where she showed the world that she was and is a forced to be reckoned with. This era might not have panned out as Mariah wanted it to but that doesn't mean it was all bad. (Wednesday 24 December 2014; 6:32)

Demo tape (48,754) by Darryle from USA I'm pretty sure that's fake. Mariah never recorded Here We Go Round Again. She finished the composition but not the recording. I wish it was real but it's not. (Tuesday 23 December 2014; 14:30)

B (48,742) by Darryle from USA Can you explain what you mean when you say Mariah gets less respect because she's good looking? It doesn't make any sense to me. What does Mariah's beauty have to do with respect. (Tuesday 23 December 2014; 6:06)

Merchandise (48,738) by Darryle from USA I know I've posted about this before but it really annoys me. Mariah and her team have got to do a better job with merchandise. Besides the fact that you can't get her albums from her actual store (her CDs are purchased through Amazon) she doesn't have any of her DVDs for sale either. Then there's the fact that it's near impossible to find a Mariah vinyl. Are her vinyls not in production anymore? I've noticed that Amazon actually sells vinyls like MJ, Madonna, and Prince but with Mariah you have to get them from a seller. I hope this get's fixed soon. It's frustrating as a fan when I want to expand my collection but can't. (Tuesday 23 December 2014; 1:52)

Vevo certified (48,734) by Darryle from USA We did it. AIWFCIY is officially Vevo certified. 100 million views and counting. First WBT and now AIWFCIY. That's two videos down. Now on to TMB. 20 million more to go. (Monday 22 December 2014; 23:06)

Comeback song (48,682) by Darryle from USA I think for Mariah's comeback song she should hop on a song and be a featured guest. Just like IKWYW. It'd be easier to get a top 10 hit as a featured artist I think. She can hop on and it person's song and their publicity will boost hers. Also if the single were to fall flat and not chart she wouldn't be blamed because the song isn't hers. (Sunday 21 December 2014; 5:57)

Pearl theater (48,681) by Darryle from USA I actually don't think it's authorized. It's been released under a different label. Also I noticed that one of the tracks is title Shake It Up. I don't know if it's because it's a mashup of some sort but I believe it's an error. So I'm definetly leaning towards the side unauthorized. Which sucks because one I want to buy it and two it'd just bring even more trouble for Mariah. (Sunday 21 December 2014; 5:47)

Pearl Palms concert live (48,675) by Darryle from USA So Mariah, I just noticed that Mariah released this onto iTunes. I wonder why? It might be to make some quick money or just because. I'm really just wondering why this concert out of all of them. She's had so many but she chose to release this one. She sounded very good then so I'm considering buying it anyway. (Sunday 21 December 2014; 0:54)

Lawsuit (48,652) by Darryle from USA There's something fishy about that lawsuit against Mariah. If you weren't getting paid for your work you would have noticed it within the first month or two. Yet this lady continued to work for Mariah for 7 whole years now deciding to come forward. I think they, her and Mariah, had a falling out and now she's out to get revenge. Whatever the case may be I hope it gets sorted out soon. Mariah really doesn't need anymore on her plate. (Saturday 20 December 2014; 4:08)

New look (48,560) by Darryle from USA Mariah looked amazing last nigh. The finger waves were a nice change and the dress was glamorous. It looks like she lost some weight or maybe it's just a looser dress. Either way Mariah looks glowing. (Wednesday 17 December 2014; 4:04)

Signature song (48,558) by Darryle from USA I think it's kind of hard for Mariah to have a signature song. She has 18 #1's and all of them have a different sound. Mariah's went through so many musical changes that it's hard to say this one song defines Mariah's whole career. Whitney and Celine's signature songs both had accompanying movies. Titanic was a mega hit making 2 billion dollars and The Bodyguard 400 million. That definitely contributed to the success of the songs. Mariah's signature songs don't have any movies to go with them. The success is all based around the fact that the songs are based around the fact that they are fantastic songs to begin with. I gurantee if you asked random people to name 10 Whitney, Celine, or Mariah songs it'd be easier to name 10 Mariah songs because Mariah is not defined by one single song. Although if I had to pick a signature song it'd be AIWFCIY. It's known world wide. It's inescapable. (Wednesday 17 December 2014; 3:16)

Online store (48,529) by Darryle from USA While Mariah's team gave the sight a whole new look they didn't do anything about the online store. Her merchandise isn't gender neutral and most of it's boring in my opinion. When you click a link to buy her CDs it just sends you to Amazon. It'd be really helpful to fans if Mariah or Sony or someone within her team started supplying merchandise. Like the Daydream Tokyo Dome tour, vinyls, or the Thanksgiving special. For a fan like me trying to expand their collection it's especially difficult when the one reputable source offers almost nothing. (Monday 15 December 2014; 23:37)

Diva persona / my resolutions for MC (48,528) by Darryle from USA Marissa you're so right. Mariah needs to cut the mess. It might seem funny to some lambs because we're so used to it but it does have to stop. I'm not saying go back to 1990 Mariah when watching her interview was like watching paint dry. Just clean it up a bit. Stop hiding behind the diva persona. She's said before that she uses it to make it seem as though she's not vulnerable. Which is understandle. Being vulnerable in this business, especially when you're a woman, can make you seem weak. She needs to find that balance between being a diva and being seen as vulnerable. She needs to take it back to 1997-2005. On top of that she needs to let Andre Leon Talley or whoever did ither on American Idol dress her again. And start working with Diane Martlet and Brett Ratner again on her videos. (Monday 15 December 2014; 22:45)

Blatant disrespect for Mariah in industry (48,512) by Darryle from USA Does anyone else feel like Mariah out of all the singers in the music industry gets the least respect. With everything she does she has to prove that she's good enough. She's shut out at award shows and people are so quick to say she's over or this or that person's going to replace her. Why? Almost 25 years in this industry and she can't get the same respect as artist that are far below her. I'm just ready for Mariah to release a "comeback" album and show everyone that she never left. (Monday 15 December 2014; 3:42)

Nicki Minaj fight (48,494) by Darryle from USA Does anyone else think the American Idol fight is fake? They collaborated on UOMF and we all know how Mariah is. She won't collaborate with females unless she has the upmost respect for you. Since they collaborated she's gotta have respect for her. Which means there should be no reason for Mariah to feel disrespected if Nicki was put on the same panel as her. I also think they hinted at it on the show. Ryan Seacrest asked what would a Nicki and Mariah duet would sound like and Nicki and Mariah started being playful and did some UOMF type of stuff. If it was a scripted fight I think Mariah should come forward and say so. I think the feud is one of the reasons the GP dislikes her. They think she's petty and insecure for fighting. (Saturday 13 December 2014; 15:06)

Queen of Christmas (48,493) by Darryle from USA I think the reason people call Mariah queen of Christmas is because that's the one thing you know she'll always promote. It's the one thing constant about her career. This year she didn't promote her album but she did promote her Christmas albums. If all of Mariah's future album or song didn't chart none of that would matter because her Christmas albums would. Obviously she's not only the queen of Christmas. She's queen of whistle register and music in my opinion. (Saturday 13 December 2014; 14:57)

Comeback (48,471) by Darryle from USA It looks as though everyone is gearing up for Mariah to make a comeback, Mariah included. I'm excited to see what she has planned for the lambily within the next year. Hopefully it's a big selling album and a #1 single. (Friday 12 December 2014; 3:52)

Live album (48,451) by Darryle from USA I don't know about anyone else but I'd love for Mariah to do a live album. Almost like MTV Unplugged except these would be performances she's already done and she's edited them to have studio quality sound. I'd love to have her performances of I Wish You Knew/Over The Rainbow (Essence Awards), Underneath The Stars (Daydream Tour), and Fly Like A Bird (Grammys) as mp3s. (Thursday 11 December 2014; 2:06)
