I am stunned (95,872) (95,873) by ADAM from USA I encourage everyone to subscribe to Audible for the free trial and listen to the memoir. I own the book for the nostalgia but hearing her voice tell her story and hearing her laughter and singing between the chapters is amazing. She sings acapella and many songs. The free trial makes this treat amazing. Mariah really invested alot of time and made this personal for her fans. Do it now. (Wednesday 30 September 2020; 23:00)

Re: I am stunned (95,869) (95,872) by Timothy from USA Wow Bill. Of all of the different fan reviews, this one makes me more excited to read/listen as it now seems like we will learn some new things vs. the controlled P.R. image of things some of us feared. Thanks for this. (Wednesday 30 September 2020; 22:10)

Re: Wayward Child (95,860) (95,871) by Timothy from USA Well said, Andrew. (Wednesday 30 September 2020; 22:07)

Re: Roger Friedman (95,868) (95,870) by RibbonB from USA He's sold his story to the tabloids many times over. Her life is not his life and he has no ownership of her life or her story. I'm glad she took his ATM card. (Wednesday 30 September 2020; 19:57)

I am stunned (95,869) by Bill from the UK I binged the memoir in one day. Mariah in my ear narrating and singing, whilst I read the eBook. The hard copy is sitting on my bookshelf where it shall remain in pristine condition until the end of time. I have no actual words for how much her story has moved me. I thought I knew her, I thought I knew her troubles and everything else. Thinking of her she has literally "smiled through a thousand years" as she gracefully did interviews and performances that I have both loved and critiqued, not knowing what was going on behind those closed doors all along. I laughed, I cried, and I sobbed. I sobbed my heart out reading about her father, and her children, and the life she is trying to let them have. Mariah has given us so much, and her life has been one of constant pain, yet all she has ever done for me, is bring constant happiness. I just don't know what to do. I have never been so moved and felt so honoured to be one of her fans. I will never, ever turn away from her. She has my heart forever. (Wednesday 30 September 2020; 19:46)

Re: Roger Friedman (95,867) (95,868) by TMG from USA Hurt people hurt people, and they both experienced that tough journey as a family. Morgan has more truth and facts that are not told in this memoir about the experiences written in this memoir. They shared the same dream when they were both broke and Morgan paid for the producers to develop and produce that demo Tommy decided was the "deal maker" and gave her a deal.

Re: Roger Friedman (95,867) by Cat from USA It's a memoir, not an autobiography. (Wednesday 30 September 2020; 16:20)

The Latin Elvis (95,866) by Norman from USA I didn't see the Crybaby connection with Luis Miguel coming, but I'm glad to hear a snippet of their relationship talked about. They're my favorite male and female vocalists. (Wednesday 30 September 2020; 10:56)

Re: Wayward Child (95,860) (95,865) by Bobby A from United States Can we Zoom this Friday and read the last five chapters together and listen to TR? (Wednesday 30 September 2020; 04:44)

Re: Audiobook (95,854) (95,864) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada I'm so glad I got the audiobook. She is doing a fantastic job telling the story and singing here and there. (Wednesday 30 September 2020; 03:27)

Article: What is the meaning of Mariah Carey? (95,863) by TMG from USA A responsible author of a memoir provides facts of their life and journey instead of a crafted version. Were the painful facts represented accurately by every member of this "dysfunctional family" or just by the famous one in control of the media version of this family? (Wednesday 30 September 2020; 03:08)

Re: Wayward Child (95,860) (95,862) by Mutton Dressed as Lamb from UK I couldn't have written it better. Your words sum up how I felt reading Wayward Child and how I feel about the memoir. I have often taken your words as harsh or too critical, but reading the memoir has made me re-evaluate my thought process. You are a true lamb. (Wednesday 30 September 2020; 01:10)

Re: Roger Friedman (95,858) (95,861) by Andrew from the United Kingdom I have not heard the rest of the book but I have read this article. And laughed out loud. I am a Mariah Carey fan and, also, quite possibly, one of the most critical. So if this obnoxious tit Roger is reading this: Roger, I challenge you to a public debate about Mariah, big boy. You vs me. I am that equipped with knowledge and have passion free from prejudice I will do it with 5 minutes adamvance warning. You can quote anything I have ever posted and I, you. And I would still wipe floor with you, you smurfing tit. (Wednesday 30 September 2020; 00:11)

Wayward Child (95,860) by Andrew from the United Kingdom I stayed up until 6am but gave up. The audiobook arrived at 7am. I have finished Wayward Child. What a brilliantly performed audiobook, thus far. Mariah does really well. The singing moved me. The Art Of Letting Go being sung in relation to Patricia threw me. I felt blindsided. i am a bit ashamed to admit I cried very shortly into the audiobook. I felt humble. I felt like I was a voyeur and Mariah should not have had to reveal these personal things. I felt it unfair she has had to explain the source of her pain. I felt sad that the young girl I adored in my emotionally unsettled youth was explaining her own emotionally unsettled youth. I just wanted to hug her and thank her for giving me what her musical idols had given her. Maybe I haven't said thankyou enough. Mariah Carey saved my life when I was a kid. It was not the case that somebody else would have filled the role had she not been there. It was her and her alone. i feel humble. (Wednesday 30 September 2020; 00:03)

Re: Why is she still talking about JLo? (95,857) (95,859) by mimi from Nederland I am not a fan of JLo, but I can appreciate her hits. I do not understand why the artist is blamed for what her management, the people above her, decided to use for her music. JLo isn't a songwriter nor producer, so it were people deciding for her to "steal". Btw: most of the time, she paid for the samples (Ashanti for example). (Tuesday 29 September 2020; 21:56)

Roger Friedman (95,858) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Roger is holding a grudge against MC because she fired his good friend Cindi as her publicist, and she is Tommy’s publicist now. Also when they saw each other at an event during the nightmare era they talked briefly but MC, did not give him her new contact information and it has held a grudge ever since. Honestly Roger needs to move on, and find a hobby and leave MC alone because she has definitely left him, and his friends alone for quite sometime now. (Tuesday 29 September 2020; 18:11)

Re: Why is she still talking about JLo? (95,831) (95,857) by TMG from USA Ouch. (Tuesday 29 September 2020; 16:39)

Re: Showbizz 411 / Roger Friedman (95,853) (95,856) by Weston from United States This "review" literally made me sick to my stomach. He just needs to GTFO. (Tuesday 29 September 2020; 16:12)

Re: Showbizz 411 / Roger Friedman (95,853) (95,855) by RibbonB from USA Lol, but he "read her for filth" didn't he? (Tuesday 29 September 2020; 16:00)

Audiobook (95,854) by Edward from USA I pre-ordered the ebook and the audio-book, but the e-book became available first at midnight. I read for an hour and eventually went to sleep. The audio-book was already available when I woke up. I got ready for work and on my way out started listening from the beginning. Oh wow. Mariah sounds as if she were telling you a story rather than reading a book, with singing, laughs, and all the different emotions in her voice asshe goes through it. You have to listen to her tell you about her times with her father, hilarious. I'll keep on listening later today. (Tuesday 29 September 2020; 15:56)

Showbizz 411 / Roger Friedman (95,853) by Billy from Greece I have really started to feel bad for this guy, having to write one sh*t "article" or "review" about Mariah after another. He must be a really miserable human being. Poor little Roger. (Tuesday 29 September 2020; 15:33)

Re: The Rarities - first week sales (95,851) (95,852) by Edward from USA Happy Birthday. I hope it's not too cold in Norway. (Tuesday 29 September 2020; 14:21)

Re: The Rarities - first week sales (95,849) (95,851) by TJ from Norway But #2 is still one hell of a number. I'm no fortune teller, so I won't bring my guess to the table. (Tuesday 29 September 2020; 12:27)

The vault (95,850) by Terna from Nigeria This vault is a gift that keeps giving. With the recent revelations of the alternative album from '95, one has to wonder what else has she got in store, because that was totally unexpected. Wow who is this woman? Lol. The Lambs have already coined another term "Rockriah". Haha. Honestly, the only thing good about this year has been the Mariah Carey treats and rarities she's been giving us. I just had a random thought - what if this culminates with a separate The Rarities but for Christmas, songs recorded (both originals and traditional covers) that didn't make the final cut on the original "Merry Christmas" CD.
