Re: CB tour (93,961) (94,011) by Philipp from Switzerland I went to the Charmbracelet tour in Zürich, Switzerland on October 22nd 2003. What a concert. (Wednesday 6 May 2020; 22:08)

Re: Ariana Grande butterfly tattoos (94,007) (94,010) by Andrew from the United Kingdom I'm not sure that is quite right. I think Ariana getting a butterfly tattoo is fine. I think if she uses it in any regard as a symbol of her own person or her career then that is bad form. It would absolutely be an intentional sleight and I would expect Mariah to get another meme on.

Re: Ranked album covers/photography (94,004) (94,009) by Andrew from the United Kingdom Clearly photoshopped album covers: #1's (but 2 airbrushed legs) Rainbow (Barbie) Glitter ("shouldn't overpower the airbrush") Greatest Hits (of the delete pixel key) The Emancipation of MyImage Me. I am Mariah. The Photo-shopped Cartoon. Caution (Cartoon) There is no "accusation". If I look at a picture of the sky, I do not "accuse" someone of making it blue. It *is* blue. Somethings just *are* and no amount of suggestion or untruths stops that from being. It is what it is. (Wednesday 6 May 2020; 20:17)

Precious (94,008) by RibbonB from USA Last night HBO aired Precious. It's a great movie, but a hard story to watch, so I usually avoid watching it since seeing it in theaters when it was released. It is definitely memorable and Mariah's performance is still one of the standouts. Gabby and Monique played bleak characters, excellently. (Wednesday 6 May 2020; 18:45)

Re: Ariana Grande butterfly tattoos (94,002) (94,007) by Scott from USA I think while we all know a butterfly is synonymous with Mariah and is part of her trademark, it shouldn't mean that a butterfly tattoo or a like for butterflies is off limits for anyone else. Don't think she can claim a butterfly as her own. That said, we all know Ariana is a big fan, so who knows, maybe it is related, maybe not. Barbra Streisand has an album called Butterfly from many years ago, way before Mariah, although she didn't go with the butterfly symbol after that like Mariah did. (Wednesday 6 May 2020; 15:45)

Re: Edward (47,709) (94,006) by B from USA Edward, can you please send me another MP3 of Lullaby of Birdland? My email address is blambert@ohiochristian.edu. (Wednesday 6 May 2020; 15:42)

Re: Ranked album covers/photography (93,981) (94,004) by B from USA I like the Music Box cover. I hate that Mariah was and is accused of photoshopping the MIAM album cover (artwork). The photoshoot took place in 2013 when she was in amazing shape. (Wednesday 6 May 2020; 15:00)

#1 To Infinity (94,003) by B from USA Five years ago today, Mariah began her #1 To Infinity residency at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. Did you attend the #1 To Infinity residency? (Wednesday 6 May 2020; 14:58)

Ariana Grande butterfly tattoos (94,002) by Kaj Mandalia from UK Hi fellow lambs. Hope [you're] all safe and well during these very uncertain times. I haven't been on here for a while but love and respect all of you and for this one site dedicated to our Mariah which I've been visiting for about 20 years. I don't know if anyone has picked this up and I totally love how Mariah and Ariana are OK with each other but the butterfly tattoos in particular are making me feel awkward. Only because butterfly is synonymous with Mariah like Bees are to Beyonce. Unsure why Ariana is jumping on this bandwagon and all her fan comments are like "queen butterfly". I had to comment on one of her post saying "aww honouring our Mariah", nothing negative but butterfly is for our Mariah. Any thoughts? PS Still peace and love for Ariana and I may have missed the memo for her showcasing them so apologies in advance. (Wednesday 6 May 2020; 12:12)

Re: Ranked album covers/photography (93,999) (94,001) by Bill from the UK Open Arms is beautiful. I gasped when I saw it on the record store shelf all those years ago. Gasped. (Wednesday 6 May 2020; 11:24)

Re: Ranked album covers/photography (93,970) (94,000) by TJ from Norway Hahaha. I never understood why they made the two [three]different covers. (Wednesday 6 May 2020; 11:17)

Re: Ranked album covers/photography (93,968) (93,999) by TJ from Norway I need to have a look at my collection again. I think I made a lot of bad choices on that list I made. The Open Arms cover should have been included instead of ILT. (Wednesday 6 May 2020; 10:22)

Celine Dion (93,998) by Terna from Nigeria This wasn't just only fun to watch, but also informative on the recording process and how an album is put together. I loved the behind the scenes of the duet with Barbra Streisand, the recording of "The Reason" and the other duet with the late great Pavarotti. (Wednesday 6 May 2020; 02:09)

Re: Justice for Angels Advocate (93,986) (93,997) by Leo from USA The record already came out in a box set. (Wednesday 6 May 2020; 00:35)

Re: Charmbracelet (93,945) (93,996) by Terna from Nigeria Nice write up and interesting read. For me that album isn't a favorite at all. It reminds me of a time when it was hardest to be a Mariah Carey fan as she was basically washed up or burnt out so it seemed everyone had moved on from her. Smh. Except true fans. This was also the era she named her fan-base "lamb" if I recall correctly. In every sense of the word, it is indeed Mariah's weakest offering out of her whole catalogue (weak shot airy vocals, terrible rushed production, hideous song cover, and collaborations thrown together just because), but a pivotal record. This era was where she slowed down, acknowledged she had been written off and where she was at in her career, owned it and began putting in measures in order for the next era. And the rest was mind blowing history. Lol. (Tuesday 5 May 2020; 23:59)

Re: Ranked album covers/photography (93,992) (93,995) by MusicfanJ from Germany Well in Germany "Without you" went to number one. "Everything fades away" is one of her best songs. I know a person who only listens to Hip Hop and even he loves "EFA". That says a lot. Music Box is a great album. Yes a bit too smaltzy for some ears but every song is perfection. "MB the song", "AYNAF", "Never forget you" and "EFA" are another level, MC at her best. And the artwork is very beautiful too. Natural beauty Mariah. (Tuesday 5 May 2020; 21:59)

Re: Ranked album covers/photography (93,992) (93,994) by Bill from the UK It hit number one virtually everywhere it was released except the US. (Tuesday 5 May 2020; 20:37)

Re: For Andrew (93,980) (93,993) by Anonymous from Thanks Andy for the lovely compliments, you are a sweetheart, however I have to disagree. I do share some tiny similarities to Mariah but I'm far from her twin, Mariah is a classic beauty who I can't compare too but all the same, thank you. Right now my hair looks like sideshow Bobs, I have acne and deep bags under my eyes, all thanks to having migraine attacks every other day at the moment, my main pregnancy symptom. But all will worth it in the end so trust me, I ain't no Mariah. (Tuesday 5 May 2020; 17:46)

Re: Ranked album covers/photography (93,991) (93,992) by Musti from UK Everything Fades Away is one of her best songs from the entire 90s era. And I definitely admit even the schmaltzy MB songs are brilliant. I'll always be bitter about Without You not hitting #1. No torch song has ever been sung better. (Tuesday 5 May 2020; 17:06)

Re: Ranked album covers/photography (93,984) (93,991) by Bill from the UK Agree that it's not the best representation of Mariah's sound overall, I'd say either the coveted holy trinity of Daydream, Butterfly or Emancipation capture that. However, I do think Music Box had some of her best remixes and b sides. Do You Think of Me is astonishing, Everything Fades Away is probably her best closing track, and the Def Club Mix of Dreamlover (pioneering the re-sung vocals for remixes movement) and the Anytime You Need a Friend C&C Club Mix, with Mariah scatting at the end, are phenomenal. (Tuesday 5 May 2020; 14:55)

Re: Ranked album covers/photography (93,988) (93,990) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Sure, raincloud, I forgot that being obvious was such a crime here. Anyways, sure, just like every post I make here, I'mma make sure I squeeze that into my schedule. No biggie. (Tuesday 5 May 2020; 12:10)

Re: Justice for Angels Advocate (93,986) (93,989) by Bill from the UK Hmmm. I'd rather it didn't. If the cut and paste "duets" on Me I Am Mariah were an indication of the quality I'd rather they stay buried in the vault. These "justice for" campaigns are getting a bit out of hand now. Glitter, fine. E=MC2 was a global hit album around the world, with her highest selling first week sales ever, and a number one in the USA. Why does that need justice? I would rather see the demo tape released, rather than AA. But who am I? (Tuesday 5 May 2020; 10:59)

Re: Ranked album covers/photography (93,987) (93,988) by Andrew from the United Kingdom Thank-you for yet another lecture, Professor Obvious. What with your lectures and We Are Lambily constantly listing Mariah's achievements we are all very well informed of the bleedin' obvious and will likely do well in our exams. Wait, you are setting exams, too, right? I hope this studying isn't all for nothing. (Tuesday 5 May 2020; 10:41)

Re: Ranked album covers/photography (93,979) (93,987) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Ah Kylie. She always has her image in check. She never looks bad, she reinvents herself and updates her sound with every album release just about the right amount; she knows how to balance being cute, sexy, edgy and glamorous and always dresses appropriately for her age and body type. Regardless of how her music performs, she manages to ensure that everything she does serves her brand well. A little too safe by current celebrity standards, but consistency can go a long way. Mariah and many other female celebs can learn a thing or two from her. (Tuesday 5 May 2020; 09:20)
