About Libra Lamb from USA:

Not surprised (106,275) by Libra Lamb from USA Personally, I'm happy for Mary J Blige and her induction, she's very much deserving of this, as well and loved and respected by many. There's room for everyone and I know one day Mariah's day will come. (Tuesday 23 April 2024; 20:58) this is a reply to message 106,271

Not surprised (106,271) by Lee from USA Why should I respect an artist who has ride on other artists' coattails to succeed? You can take away Diddy, Dr.Dre, and the other collaborators, and see what happens. Then again, it could be jealousy on the part of the voters. Everything that she does gets crazy coverage in the press. Therefore, they resent her for it. I would resent it too, if my ceremony got worse ratings than a MC Christmas special.

Article: Fans suspect Mariah is "teasing" a new era of music (106,133) by Libra Lamb from USA I hope you're right, but I'm not getting excited until Mimi herself announces new music coming soon. (Monday 8 April 2024; 21:00) this is a reply to message 106,125

Article: Fans suspect Mariah is "teasing" a new era of music (106,125) by Robert-Anthony from United States MC is getting ready to make us so very happy soon. The fact that she is playfully engaging with one insider account and posting beautiful pics every week says a new era announcement eminent. (Monday 8 April 2024; 00:15)

2002-2003 what should have been Charmbracelet's singes? (106,132) by Libra Lamb from USA On the standard issue of the album, The One, I Only Wanted, Subtle Invitation and Through The Rain would have been my single choices. More missed opportunities.

2002-2003 what should have been Charmbracelet's singes? (106,128) by Matty from Vancouver Canada You got Me feat. Freeway and Jay-Z - She gives the same vocal style in this song which went to #3, "I Know What You Want/Where I Belong". I Only Wanted or Bringing on the Heartache The One (original) Through the Rain, show that vocal, excite people (*the finale single dhalings*), close it out with the emotional song - Portrait, Outside. etc. I think as a lead single "Thought the Rain" wasn't what people wanted, we were still only coming off the dance beats of Rainbow and the Glitter soundtrack. I think an upbeat/dance song from Charmbracelet would have been celebrated at the time. What are your thoughts? (Monday 8 April 2024; 05:01)

The Emancipation of Mimi (106,130) by Libra Lamb from USA I remember when MTV premiered the music video for It's Like That and thinking wow, this is a new sound for Mariah but falling in love with the song and the music video immediately. My friends were listening to the radio in Atlanta when they heard me call in and request Don't Forget About Us, they still remind me and we laugh about it. I loved this era, nobody could tell Mimi anything because she owned every part of this. Love love love. (Monday 8 April 2024; 15:06) this is a reply to message 106,126

The Emancipation of Mimi (106,126) by Matty from Vancouver Canada You know what's funny? I remember the exact highway on-ramp I was taking on March Rd. headed to Downtown Ottawa when suddenly "It's Like that" came on the radio for the very first time. I was stunned there was a new MC single and almost drove off the over pass bridge. The DJ radio introduced the new song for the very first time with these exact words: "I don't know why she keeps trying, but we have to play it, so here it is." And boom clap clap clap the new legendary era began. That DJ will go one to be playing new, beloved, Mariah songs for the next 4 years (from "It's Like That" to "Obsessed"). He must have felt like a fool after the fact. It's one of those Mariah memories of hearing new music for the first time glued to my heart and brain. (Monday 8 April 2024; 01:50)

New single (106,106) by Libra Lamb from USA I hope we get a fresh new single that radio will be dying to get their hands on, like the old days. One can dream, right? It's been too long since the last one. I thought GTFO and With You were gonna be big hits and sadly was disappointed. I guess we'll see.

New single (106,096) by Robert-Anthony from United States When MC does release something new, it's going to be a day of celebration. However, something tells me that her days of huge radio impressions on pop radio will never happen again with anything new. Maybe I am wrong. And this dry season has to been her longest time ever without releasing new music. When you start listening to MIAM reminiscing about the good old days, then it's been a long time since we have had a new Mariah Carey song that was hot on the charts. Lol.

Don't/I Don't mash-up (106,105) by Libra Lamb from USA I believe it's still up on YouTube, try searching it again buddy. (Friday 5 April 2024; 00:54) this is a reply to message 106,099

Don't/I Don't mash-up (106,099) by Robert-Anthony from United States I can't find the Don't (Bryson Tiller) and I Don't mash-up on YouTube anymore. Did anyone make a mp3 file? (Wednesday 3 April 2024; 19:27)

Musicals (106,103) by Libra Lamb from USA People are so desperate to have their name attached to Mariah Carey that they reach anywhere they can, they know her name will bring much needed publicity to their otherwise mundane articles. Glitter is most definitely not a musical. Not to mention the soundtrack is nothing short of amazing, and they know that. Desperation calls for desperate nonsensical articles and rankings. If we're going to talk about the worst musical, Mean Girls recently released as a musical is by far the worst I've seen in a long time. My husband and I could not sit through the entire thing. They almost ruined the original for me, almost. Glitter may not be good, by most people's standards, but I still love it and give it a pass because it's Mariah Carey at her campiest. If anything, blame the director Vondie Curtis Hall. (Thursday 4 April 2024; 17:49) this is a reply to message 106,101

Musicals (106,101) by Victoria from USA So collider.com named Glitter the worst musical ever. Cats was number 2. Does anyone consider Glitter a musical? I'm not saying it's amazing, but it's not a "musical". (Thursday 4 April 2024; 16:47)

Academy recognising Glitter (106,085) by Libra Lamb from USA I think you hit the nail on the head Joachim. I never really pieced it together but it makes sense the way you explained it. I happen to love Charmbracelet because the songwriting was phenomenal and the melodies were great even though it was not a typical Mariah Carey album. Also wrong single choices. But not everyone has heard of it or given the album a fair chance. I Only Wanted, Subtle Invitation, Miss you ( feat. Jadakiss) and The One (both original and So So Def Remix) are my favorites. Shout out to Got a Thing 4 U. (Monday 1 April 2024; 20:41) this is a reply to message 106,084

Academy recognising Glitter (106,084) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway I actually think the reason why Mariah sounds so restricted on Charmbracelet had everything to do with Glitter and her breakdown. I think she felt the world really was tired of everything Mariah, especially her voice, many people back then complained that she was just shouting, not that this had anything to do with reality. Mariah was overexposed after the 90's, much like the risk Taylor Swift is taking now. Charmbracelet shows a Mariah that is scared to annoy or pushing more people away, almost to the point of self extinction. She did exactly what people wanted her to, become a shadow of her self, almost a different artist singing wise. Well, we all know how that turned out, it's her most forgotten and least interesting album, only positive is that it felt really personal. I'm glad she came back in 2005 wanting nothing else than to be herself, showcasing every part of her voice. If you can sing like Mariah Carey, why would you ever try to disguise that? (Monday 1 April 2024; 17:43)

New photos (106,081) by Libra Lamb from USA I'm convinced she's a vampire. There's no other explanation for anyone eternally looking that young and fresh. Obviously I'm joking but whatever she's doing, it looks good on her. She looks radiant and beautiful. (Monday 1 April 2024; 02:44) this is a reply to message 106,079

New photos (106,079) by Robert-Anthony from United States Did you see the photos she posted in the yellow gown yesterday? MC looks like she is in her 20s. (Sunday 31 March 2024; 20:50)

Academy recognising Glitter (106,078) by Libra Lamb from USA This was awesome to see. Thanks for posting the clip. I hope eventually Mariah embraces the film more like she did the soundtrack. I noticed she liked the post on IG. I'm still holding my breath for a re-release with tons of bonus content and the digital version. Justice for Glitter, again. Fingers crossed.

Academy recognising Glitter (106,076) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So Glitter is getting the recognition it deserves hahah, the Academy's page posted this clip from Glitter. (Sunday 31 March 2024; 17:13)

Is Mariah Carey popular? (106,074) by Libra Lamb from USA From your lips to God's ears. We would love a duets album. Fall time, definitely before November 1st (it's tiiiiiime) would be a perfect release time. I've always wanted Janet and Mariah on the same track, amongst other great artists. (Sunday 31 March 2024; 03:40) this is a reply to message 106,072

Is Mariah Carey popular? (106,072) by Robert-Anthony from United States Great news. I hope Mimi drops a collaboration album this fall. It makes perfect sense at stage in her career. All of the legends have done it from Lionel Richie to Barb[a]ra Streisand to Carlos Santana to Smokey Robinson. It would be a great prelude to her annual Christmas season reign. (Sunday 31 March 2024; 00:45)

Is Mariah Carey popular? (106,071) by Libra Lamb from USA Mariah Carey was working hard to get her debut album out when Taylor Swift was in infant diapers, I'd say she's got a lot more years on her and more people know her impressive body of work than Taylor Swift's. I'm not denying the star power of Taylor at all, I think she's phenomenal even though I personally don't care for her music. And also I don't know how they measured the popularity contest. I'm just saying that I bet the article is right to place MC ahead of her. We love everybody. (Saturday 30 March 2024; 21:16) this is a reply to message 106,064

Is Mariah Carey popular? (106,064) by TJ from Norway Is this list credible? Mariah at number 21 and Taylor Swift at number 43? Questions pops up in my head. Don't get me wrong, I love MC, but I believe that TS is more popular. Or did I read the list wrong? I am tired, so that might be an opportunity. (Saturday 30 March 2024; 07:51)

Songs for a rainy day (106,068) by Libra Lamb from USA The dance/club remixes on MC’s The Remixes album are always a good one. (Saturday 30 March 2024; 15:56) this is a reply to message 106,065

Songs for a rainy day (106,065) by TJ from Norway It feels like it's been raining out snowing where I live, for the last 1,5 years. What kind of MC songs can you guys recommend to lift the spirit and wish for some sun again? No, this is not metaphors, but depressing weather. (Saturday 30 March 2024; 07:55)

"Of course" trend (106,056) by Libra Lamb from USA I loved this. I'm a Mariah Carey fan, of course I still don't know her. (Thursday 28 March 2024; 17:36) this is a reply to message 106,055

"Of course" trend (106,055) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter This "I'm a Mariah Carey fan" version of the "Of course" trend is so iconic I love it. The Mariah-isms are iconic. I'm dying at the "of course I run out of the frame at the end of the video" with her signature hand under chin wave and running out of frame in her social media videos and also the "of course I didn't mean it when I said I didn't love you so" and leaning against the wall with arms stretched haha. So iconic. (Thursday 28 March 2024; 14:01)

Happy anniversary Mimi (106,048) by Libra Lamb from USA Wishing a very happy anniversary to the one and only Mariah Carey. Also, to my maternal grandmother who turns 97 today. May all their wishes come true. (Wednesday 27 March 2024; 15:27)

"The Block" doesn't know her either (106,035) by Libra Lamb from USA Delusional. (Monday 25 March 2024; 23:35) this is a reply to message 106,032

"The Block" doesn't know her either (106,032) by Robert-Anthony from United States Why does she still think people care she is JFB? (Monday 25 March 2024; 22:02)

The Adventures of Mimi (106,034) by Libra Lamb from USA We probably will for MC60. Fingers crossed. (Monday 25 March 2024; 23:32) this is a reply to message 106,015

The Adventures of Mimi (106,015) by Robert-Anthony from United States Do you think we will ever get the The Adventures of Mimi DVD release on CD and vinyl? That is one DVD release that I need in my collection along with the live performance WBT/FLAB on 2005 Grammys. (Wednesday 20 March 2024; 10:46)

"The Block" doesn't know her either (106,033) by Libra Lamb from USA That video lives rent free in my head. He said Jennifer who? She said Jennifer López. He said who is Jennifer López? LMAO. It's a go to video whenever I just want to crack up. I used to like her until I realized she's stolen from other artists by using their vocals and passing them off as her own as well as stolen creative property. She lost me so quickly. Also, her music is just not good, her voice is so much worse. Sorry about it. (Monday 25 March 2024; 23:30) this is a reply to message 106,031

"The Block" doesn't know her either (106,031) by Tevin from USA Somebody in the comments said, the apartment tenant was probably one of Mariah Carey's family members, since they didn't know who JLo was either. Lol. (Monday 25 March 2024; 04:38)

Recent Facebook post (106,025) by Libra Lamb from USA I loved it. She does sound really good. I wish she'd come back to Atlanta on another non Christmas tour. I'm just not going to Vegas but I'm sure the Celebration of Mimi will be amazing. (Sunday 24 March 2024; 12:49) this is a reply to message 106,023

Recent Facebook post (106,023) by Robert-Anthony from United States MC is sounding so good singing a piano version of ILT. I am really loving the texture of her voice now. The low note singing "life" gave me chills. (Saturday 23 March 2024; 16:18)

Quick question (106,024) by Libra Lamb from USA Definitely B. I'd rather Toni Braxton but that wasn't a choice. I like Celine Dion though, she's extremely talented. (Saturday 23 March 2024; 18:39) this is a reply to message 106,020

Quick question (106,020) by Norman from USA This is just for fun, okay? I was wondering what you guys thought would be the bigger pop culture moment: a) Mariah and Madonna having live on-camera moment together. (doesn't have to be a duet. It could be something like Whitney and Mimi did as presenters, or a PSA, or cameo in the other person's video.) Or b) Mariah and Celine doing something similar. I only mean it as a Zeitgeist moment to move the needle. It's not about liking or disliking anyone or whatever they do. Simply in terms of a moment. Thoughts? (Friday 22 March 2024; 23:31)

Emojis (106,005) by Libra Lamb from USA Yeah, same here, unless I hear it directly from the horse's mouth, I ain't believing it. I follow her on most platforms so I don't think I'll miss her announcements. (Sunday 17 March 2024; 22:46) this is a reply to message 106,004

Emojis (106,004) by Robert-Anthony from United States I ain't even mad, no not like before. Haha. It is nothing but smooth sailing from here on. I will just wait until the 1st single announcement. She has to be in the studio working on something. (Sunday 17 March 2024; 19:57)

We need some news (105,998) by Libra Lamb from USA It's chill time for me. Had a long work week. No excitement lol. How about you? Celebrating St. Patrick's Day? (Sunday 17 March 2024; 03:04) this is a reply to message 105,997

We need some news (105,997) by Robert-Anthony from United States Where is everyone this weekend? It's too quiet this weekend. Lol. (Saturday 16 March 2024; 20:11)

Article: Shocking secret about Mariah Carey iconic cover (105,974) by Libra Lamb from USA Why does this not surprise me? Mimi will always do Mimi. (Thursday 14 March 2024; 06:20)

Caution and Eternal Sunshine (105,949) by Libra Lamb from USA Sadly, you are probably right. Which is why we as the fans should be lifting her up and encouraging her to get back in the ring and do her best, no matter what. She deserves a ton of respect and love and I'm here for all of it. We love you Mimi, you can do it all. I still prefer MC on a bad day over any other female vocalist. I can't express that enough. She's the GOAT. (Monday 11 March 2024; 20:36) this is a reply to message 105,948

Caution and Eternal Sunshine (105,948) by Robert-Anthony from United States I believe MC is hurt that she doesn't have her range like she used to, record her songs like the way she is used to recording them. You know she is a perfectionist and loves to add different vocal techniques and runs to her songs. I bet it just hurts her that she can't do Lead The Way runs anymore. (Monday 11 March 2024; 15:09)

New layout (105,925) by Libra Lamb from USA Loving the new layout. Thanks for updating the site, not that it needs it. (Saturday 9 March 2024; 15:24) this is a reply to message 105,919

New layout (105,919) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands The discography is still up and running. But because it is not optimized for mobile phones, you can only see it on computers. (Friday 8 March 2024; 22:25)
