Re: Article: Mariah Carey announces limited-edition Christmas crate (98,372) (98,379) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I have all her perfumes haha. I love seeing the bottles together. Some of them smell great too like "Ribbon", "Mine Again", "Forever", "Luscious Pink" and I think "Vision of Love". (Saturday 17 July 2021; 23:19)

Re: Someones Ugly Daughter's voice (98,373) (98,378) by Stacey from USA Exactly. I've always thought her voice changed in-between Daydream and Butterfly because she was no longer under Tommy's controlling hand. He controlled every aspect of her world, including the most important part, her voice. He made sure MC took care of her voice. Take away that control, free to choose, things can change. Don't misunderstand me. I am in no way defending Tommy's cruel treatment of Mariah. but when you're controlled so far one way, then freedom comes, sometimes you can swing so far the other way which also can be damaging. Regardless of this or that, I will always be grateful for the music. (Saturday 17 July 2021; 23:07)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey announces limited-edition Christmas crate (98,369) (98,377) by Bobby A from United States Bill, what if Walmart sells an exclusive set with a DVD of the ABC Christmas special, would you want a set? Lol. (Saturday 17 July 2021; 22:15)

Re: American Idol performance (98,374) (98,376) by Bobby A from United States She was singing live during that performance. Lip singing is not allowed on American Idol. Somebody post the YouTube video please. (Saturday 17 July 2021; 22:06)

The elephant in the room (98,375) by Edward from USA Way before the recording of Butterfly, Mariah's marriage to Tommy was over. Her voice didn't change due to stress or whatever, we all know she was out and about drinking and smoking weed. She rid herself from the tentacles of Tommy, but that same action made her fall into another trap, alcohol. Tommy with his controlling ways make sure Mariah took care of her asset, but once she set herself free, she started doing all those things she always wanted to do but wasn't allowed to. It's both their fault in a way. Mariah for wilding out of control and Tommy for suppressing her by not letting her live her life like any other young woman her age would have done. If there had been a healthy balance, we would be singing a different tune. By the time Butterfly was recorded, Mariah was, in my humble opinion, creatively at her best, she was effing Derek Jeter, he inspired some of her best work, so, stressed she wasn't, it was as if she had come out the cocoon, free, beautiful, different, exuberant, it was delightful to experience her metamorphosis, You don't make an album like Butterfly under stress. The stress came after when she to tried to leave Sony and Tommy started sabotaging her hence her nervous breakdown, but that was after Rainbow. Whitney's voice succumbed to her drug use, and Mariah's to her misrepresented splashes. It is what it is. At this point complaining or pointing fingers won't bring her voice back. Her recordings during the pandemic, in which she's at home and with complete control of everything, evidenced an unrepairable instrument. Sad, but true. I'll take another album like Caution though, I don't think she's capable of doing anything better than that, at least voicewise. I would like to be proven wrong. (Saturday 17 July 2021; 22:01)

Re: American Idol performance (98,370) (98,374) by Leonard from Indonesia It's not live btw. She lipped it. (Saturday 17 July 2021; 21:13)

Re: Someones Ugly Daughter's voice (98,363) (98,373) by Bill from the UK Like any part of the body, you need to keep yourself and the particular vessel you utilise in top condition, just as you would a car. If you mistreat it, then you will see the consequences. An athlete cannot perform living off soda and junk food, and equally alcohol and smoke are two of the absolute worst things for a voice, both of which Mariah indulges in, some would say to excess. Yes, stress would have also been a factor, but she's not still stressed about Tommy and Columbia records 25 years later, so you have to look at the other factors. It does amaze me sometimes that so many fans overlook what is right under their noses. (Saturday 17 July 2021; 20:18)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey announces limited-edition Christmas crate (98,369) (98,372) by RibbonB from USA You forgot the ornaments. Does anybody still buy it wear her perfumes? I still see it in stores. I can't believe I bought her Luscious Pink back in the day. Maybe it'll be a collectible one day. (Saturday 17 July 2021; 20:07)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey announces limited-edition Christmas crate (98,369) (98,371) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ugh I wish Mariah wouldn't continue to cheapen AIWFCIY like this. I feel like in the past few years she's over saturating the market with AIWFCIY themed stuff and that could put people off. That song is a giant on its own, Mariah please let it be. I mean if she needs to money I guess I understand but I don't think she does do stop dahlin' please. (Saturday 17 July 2021; 19:37)

American Idol performance (98,370) by Bobby A from United States How many of you remember MC's medley performance on American Idol when she hosted that season? I thought that was the worst live performance of her career besides the infamous New Year's performance. She looked so tense and nervous during the whole performance. I cringed on the sofa during the performance. I have noticed that this only happens when MC is performing in front of her peers and a mostly studio audience who are not Lambs. And having Nicki Minaj stare at you from the judge's table only made matters worse. MC had to be stressed during the recording of Butterfly and Daydream because of Tommy's cruel treatment.

Article: Mariah Carey announces limited-edition Christmas crate (98,369) by Bill from the UK $50 for a plate, twine, and some stickers? Yeh I'm okay thanks. (Saturday 17 July 2021; 13:25)

Re: Someones Ugly Daughter's voice (98,363) (98,368) by MusicfanJ from Germany That's an interesting point Hilton. The change was clearly between Butterfly and Daydream. I believe because of severeal reasons, most have been discussed here. But you're right, maybe the hidden rock singing style was too much for her unique, soulful voice. (Saturday 17 July 2021; 12:59)

Re: Morgan is pathetic / Parasites (98,361) (98,367) by Lady B from USA He's never "made his own way". Also even if what you say is true (that it's damaged his "career", whatever that is), truth is a defense to defamation claims. Guess we'll see how his lawsuit does. (Saturday 17 July 2021; 04:14)

Re: Morgan is pathetic / Parasites (98,360) (98,366) by Dennis from Miami, FL Potato, patata. I'm not trying to whitewash Morgan or Alison. These people need to grow up and rely on themselves. Whatever Morgan says, there's always Shawn as a proof how caring and generous Mariah is to her family. (Saturday 17 July 2021; 04:12)

Re: Someones Ugly Daughter's voice (98,363) (98,365) by Dennis from Miami, FL Her voice changed around Daydream/SUD, I believe it was due to stress from Sony/Tommy situation. I feel so sad for her whenever I see the 1996 Grammy footage, where Mariah sits in the audience in the white dress next to Tommy and Walter. (Saturday 17 July 2021; 04:01)

Re: Morgan is pathetic / Parasites (98,361) (98,364) by RibbonB from USA He found it difficult to make it before the book, and with all his failed ventures that Mimi endorsed or financed in years prior. It's on him. He's old enough to collect social security, but he probably didn't put in enough work years to be entitled to anything. He's been selling tabloid stories for years because he's petty and broke it seems. He would have to prove he lost any deals or opportunities post the book's release, not just his opinions. Allison also accused him of being violent in childhood. He hasn't mentioned her since their first attempts to blackmail Mimi failed. Anyhow, as I said before, he may get a settlement just to finally shut him up. The only other reason to settle with him is for him to keep her name out of his mouth as he ignored all his previous tabloid threats and drama. Onward. (Saturday 17 July 2021; 03:15)

Someones Ugly Daughter's voice (98,363) by T from USA As has been cited many times by fans and music critics alike, Mariah's voice changed somewhere in between the [Daydream] and [Butterfly] albums. I have heard theories that the gruelling non stop singing live on the [Daydream] tour did it. But what if her voice change was due to secretly recording SUD at the same time? What if she over did it, or the rock style of singing did something to her chords? Something to ponder. (Saturday 17 July 2021; 01:01)

Re: Morgan is pathetic / Parasites (98,361) (98,362) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter People have moved on, he's bringing more attention to it. He won't get anything out of it like all the other law suits he tried. It's weak at best. (Friday 16 July 2021; 23:49)

Re: Morgan is pathetic / Parasites (98,360) (98,361) by Bill from the UK Playing devil's advocate here (or angel's advocate, as the case may be), but Morgan will indeed find it quite difficult now to "make his own way", given how he was depicted in a #1 New York Times best-selling memoir. This is the reason he is seeking damages. (Friday 16 July 2021; 22:12)

Re: Morgan is pathetic / Parasites (98,358) (98,360) by RibbonB from USA Actually, "Parasite" is about the socio-economic inequity in that society, I was being facetious when I said spoiler alert, because most people have seen the movie or heard about its significance as a piece of art. But, also because it does clearly represent the "Morgan" types, who get angry enough at more well endowed people that they are willing to destroy them to have a piece of, or even the whole pie. Morgan needs to make his own way. (Friday 16 July 2021; 21:01)

Re: Morgan is pathetic / Parasites (98,358) (98,359) by Lady B from USA Morgan is a pathetic old man. Sad, really. (Friday 16 July 2021; 17:36)

Re: Morgan is pathetic / Parasites (98,355) (98,358) by Dennis from Miami, FL Actually Parasites is about the social injustice in Korean society. The director is a genius, the movie has countless levels including colors (rich people always green and blue), camera angles (we always look at poor from above, we see the rich people from below). Though you may interpret the movie your way. (Friday 16 July 2021; 08:20)

Re: Morgan is pathetic (98,355) (98,357) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Hahah my post was going to be along the same lines as yours. That this isn't the first time Morgan came after Mariah. And all these years he was coming after her unprovoked as Mariah never spoke about him. So now with the Memoirs it's just an excuse. He is trash and Mariah owes him nothing. The fact that he added names of celebs Mariah had "feuds" with to his case just adds to the lameness. He deserves no attention. Also I love the movie "Parasite". Brilliant movie and so beautifully executed. (Friday 16 July 2021; 01:29)

New Christmas music (98,356) by Bobby A from United States It looks like no one will be releasing new Christmas music in the fall. This means that MC must be planning something special for the festive season with no new Christmas songs from other artists. Maybe I am wrong but no website is reporting new Christmas albums. (Thursday 15 July 2021; 23:58)

Re: Morgan is pathetic (98,354) (98,355) by RibbonB from USA I'd love to read your response though. But really for him to call her a bully, or vindictive, what's his problem? And he's been selling his trash tabloid stories about her for years, he hasn't lost any career opportunities, that's just his excuse to blame her. Have you seen the movie Parasite by the way? Brilliant movie. Spoiler alert, it artfully describes how envious "barnacles" will invade and even destroy their "hosts" to continue feeding off of them. (Thursday 15 July 2021; 20:09)
