About Libra Lamb from USA:

On the subjects of tours (103,877) by Libra Lamb from USA As a grown ass person, you should know that it's not Sam Smith's responsibility to protect children, that's what their parents are for. The parents are 100% responsible for raising their children and protecting them from such things. As an artist, and an adult, he can do whatever he wants on and off that stage. Nice try, but no. I do agree that children should be protected until they are old enough to understand and make up their own minds, but again, that's the parent's responsibility.

On the subjects of tours (103,874) by Edward from USA Spanish, which is my first language, has a binary grammar gender system, differentiating masculine and feminine. Pronouns, nouns, articles and adjectives are all gendered and they have to agree in number and gender when you use them. The city government in Buenos Aires, the nation's capital, banned teachers from using any gender-neutral words during class and in communications with parents. The city's education minister said such language violated the rules of Spanish and stymied students' reading comprehension. As a grown ass person, you can identify yourself as whatever you want, but leave children alone. Pushing gender ideology on children is criminal to me. (Wednesday 25 October 2023; 21:29)

On the subjects of tours (103,876) by Libra Lamb from USA Nothing you said makes any sense, I don't know if you're serious, joking or crying out for help. Think you know my thoughts? Either way, I stand by my statement and we can agree to disagree. No one said anything about transphobia, it didn't even cross my mind. But since you brought it up, I've been known to call out and unfollow/unfriend friends and family that are transphobic and homophobic. I hope that doesn't keep you up at night too like Sam Smith's gender identity. How about mind your own business about what other people identify as, try it I promise it's not that bad. You could instead focus on yourself and seek happiness because no-one that is that triggered by other's genders is truly happy. It's okay to not like someone or their artistry, what's not okay is to discount how they feel and what they are going through inside. That was my point the whole time.

On the subjects of tours (103,868) by Edward from USA Exactly my point, opinions are like the anus, everybody has one, not matter how ignorant and stupid it can be. I know it's eating up you can't quite use the word transphobia here, but fatphobia should do. Ignorant much. (Wednesday 25 October 2023; 16:07)

On the subjects of tours (103,867) by Libra Lamb from USA I bet if Sam Smith was muscular and attractive to you, you wouldn't mind him sweating up a storm on stage. I bet it's the fat phobia that's getting to you more than the gender identity issue. You are an onion Andrew, with lots of layers, just not good ones. I usually just scroll past your posts but since you felt the need to jump in for your online friend and I will always stand up for the queer community when getting attacked here we are. I know treating others the way you'd like to be treated is not a concept you can live by, that's why you keep getting banned from here. But go off with your self righteousness. You're killing it.

On the subjects of tours (103,864) by Andrew from the UK Sam Smith has embarrassed himself with ridiculous and disgusting stage performances. I don't know anyone who wants to see an obese, sweaty, unattractive man on stage acting like it's daring - and not vulgar - to behave the way he does. It was daring 30 years ago, today it's just pathetic. Madonna take note. The two of them trying to reclaim the word "vulgar" amplifies the patheticness of it all. They both look desperate and somewhat oblivious - a bit like Miley "Yeah we do what we want cos we, like, do what want" Cyrus. I don't know anybody - anybody - who does not think that Sam Smith and Madonna are desperate has-beens. Mariah is often called a has-been but the Christmas defrost keeps her quite relevant. Whilst thinking on this I realise that Mariah x Christmas is something I should fully support. Thus I call again for a third Christmas album - perhaps a Christmas duets album. As for his "gender identity" Sam Smith is free to declare what his pronouns are - just as Edward is free to declare that he is not going to use them when referencing him. Gender Theory like Race Theory can be used as attempts to control language, thus controlling education and the minds of the young. You are free to believe in it, just as most people, who refuse to flatly deny observable reality, will not. (Wednesday 25 October 2023; 11:29)

On the subjects of tours (103,866) by Libra Lamb from USA Misery loves company, and there's no one more miserable than poor Andrew and his commitment to conflict and negativity. Like I said, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, no matter how ignorant it may be. (Wednesday 25 October 2023; 15:01) this is a reply to message 103,865

On the subjects of tours (103,865) by Edward from USA I couldn't have said it better. (Wednesday 25 October 2023; 14:53)

On the subjects of tours (103,861) by Libra Lamb from USA How insecure does someone have to be to diminish and discount a complete stranger's gender identity? If you don't understand it, it's okay to say that. But you are nobody to to call it "crap". How about treating others the way you'd like to be treated instead? Seriously, it's so damn ignorant. Mind your own business and be glad that your gender identity is not being attacked by complete strangers. Is it that hard to respect everyone even if you don't understand their gender? (Wednesday 25 October 2023; 03:04) this is a reply to message 103,860

On the subjects of tours (103,860) by Edward from USA Madonna is definitely out of touch with reality. She should have some respect for herself, her family and her legacy. I've always given her props for staying fit and giving her all in her concerts, but she's definitely in denial. You can be a woman or a man of a certain age and still have some class. As for Sam Smith, as much as I like his first two albums, he's turned into a clown. It is simply disgusting. This gender idiology crap has permeated into everything, it's ridiculous.

What is wrong with Mariah? (103,769) by Libra Lamb from USA Negativity is contagious as heck. And for all those saying MC should retire, maybe you should take your own advice and retire from here and from MC and go live your happy lives, because you come across bitter and annoying.

What is wrong with Mariah? (103,751) by Robert-Anthony from United States Andy, since you have been back something has come over me. Reading your posts have really gotten me think more like you. It's been like honey for my intellect thinking more like you. We should Zoom one Saturday at 7pm your time 3pm my time. I would love to meet you. I hope my deep southern U.S. accent doesn't scare you away. Lol. (Saturday 14 October 2023; 23:27)

Music Box - 30th anniversary (103,418) by Libra Lamb from USA I also have a new found appreciation for Music Box, it was never my most played album, but with these new gems it makes me want to listen to it over and over again. I'm loving it and am so happy with these unreleased songs finally seeing the light of day, old and new fans can appreciate the hard work that went into these recordings. I also noticed that only with the release of new MC music this board is happy and peaceful, without new music things can get a bit aggressive and confrontational. So for our sake, I'm hoping she keeps releasing more new music or previously unreleased gems. If nothing else, for peacekeeping. (Sunday 10 September 2023; 14:50) this is a reply to message 103,399

Music Box - 30th anniversary (103,399) by Billy from Greece I really got choked up listening to the extended version of "Anytime you need a friend". What can I say about "My Prayer"? A true masterclass. The phrasing, the interpretation, the final belt, wow, just wow. I also can't believe "Working Hard" was left out. Actually, with the three main unreleased songs from those sessions, the two b-sides and details like the full version of AYNAF (or the Walter-less version of "Dreamlover") you really get to see Mariah's true vision for that album and what the intervention of Sony (Tommy) felt like. You really get the artistic sacrifices yet still admire Mariah's to straddle both worlds, meaning her artistry as well as the direction for mass appeal. I have a whole new appreciation for Music Box given that for a long time it's been my least played Mariah album, although it is the first album I fell in love with. Lovely commemoration.

Article: Mariah Carey visits Rye Playland over July 4 weekend (102,973) by Libra Lamb from USA You can tell the writer and editor are not big fans of MC or the would know the album was Daydream and not Fantasy, oh well, at least they are writing about her. Skewed facts and all but whatever. LMAO. (Thursday 6 July 2023; 09:17)

Pride (102,972) by Libra Lamb from USA I agree with you Brandon. It's as if she thinks the name Mariah Carey is good enough because her voice was amazing back in the day but she doesn't deliver the charisma nor the vocals on stage, or in the studio lately (Big Energy remix) that were once unmatched. She may be relying on "the voice" but sadly it's not the same as it was in the early to mid 90s. We all know the voice can change over time, and that's ok, but she's not maintained it like the precious instrument that it is. I'm only speculating here, I have no way of verifying my opinions. Regardless, I'm always rooting for her as a long time fan and lamb. I wish her well always and lots of success because I know that making music is her gift and her passion. (Thursday 6 July 2023; 09:14) this is a reply to message 102,968

Pride (102,968) by Brandon from USA I actually agree with everything that you said. As a legend that has sold as many records as MC has, she should be a pro when it comes to live performances. Unfortunately she has always struggled when it comes to performing, which I think is mainly due to her lack of discipline to practice/rehearse for live shows and her loss of confidence in her voice. She often looks lost on stage or doesn't know how to gracefully move her body. There's actually choreographers who can teach singers how to move gracefully, how to emote, how to talk to your audience in between songs to keep them engaged (not just ramble a bunch of words) and even how to lip sync in a way that looks real (Celine). MC has access to use the best of the best in the business to help her be a better performer but most of her performances fall flat. I've seen her live in concert twice so I know what I speak. Where is the grown woman (not eternally 12), confident, sexy, commander of the stage who's been performing for over 30 years? I love MC and have been a lamb for over 30 years and want to always see her win but a lot of times she is her own worst enemy. I hate to see singers who have been performing only a fraction of the time MC has be able to run circles around her when it comes to performing live. There's no excuse. (Wednesday 5 July 2023; 19:31)

MC's next era (102,960) by Libra Lamb from USA I don't think so. Not her style, besides great R&B is her niche and unfortunately for you, her best work. I'm down for some good 90s R&B sounds like we know she can deliver. But I agree with others that her voice needs to be in better shape. (Tuesday 4 July 2023; 06:32) this is a reply to message 102,955

MC's next era (102,955) by TJ from Norway Hard Rock, alternative punk, Pop, and every other genre, except RnB. I am so tired of that sound. (Monday 3 July 2023; 08:57)

Forbes richest women, no Mariah (102,848) by Libra Lamb from USA Let's be clear on some things. Your opinions about the Forbes list do not offend me. I don't care that she's not on the list. My only argument was that she was more popular in her prime than many others on that list. You put words in my mouth to further push your argument. I only said something because of the was you decided to express yourself mockingly using that and disguised it as trying to being funny. I only said something because someone has to call it out when they see it. It wasn't about me either, I'm a grown ass man and you don't know me therefore you can't hurt me. But you don't know how many young kids may be reading these comments and made to feel bad about their sexuality for being different. You can backtrack all you want but maybe choose your mocking words more carefully or you will be called out every time. That's all. Everyone can go back and read all these comments and take from them what they choose. Go ahead I know you must have the last and final word. (Wednesday 7 June 2023; 18:40) this is a reply to message 102,845

Forbes richest women, no Mariah (102,845) by Bill from the UK I'm amazed my comments about a Forbes list caused so much offence to you. I think you're taking my messages personally which isn't the intention, and I certainly never mocked anybody's sexuality, nor would I ever. (Wednesday 7 June 2023; 10:02)

Mariah in LA for Pride performance (102,842) by Libra Lamb from USA Happy Pride Month. Is anyone going this Saturday to see MC perform in LA this weekend? If you do, please come back and tell us how it went. Have fun and stay safe. (Wednesday 7 June 2023; 06:58)

Forbes richest women, no Mariah (102,841) by Libra Lamb from USA I never used the word tyrant. Don't you put words in my mouth too just to try and insult me. If you can't read the mocking and condescending way he expressed himself that's on you. Call me delusional all you want but at least read the posts if you're going to chime in and defend or condone that behavior. I get that we are all different and we may disagree at times but those comments only speak to your character. I'm a gay man in my early 40s and I'm not some kid that expresses themselves like that, not that there's anything wrong with that. Go on and justify ignorance some more, it's fully expected at this point. We can agree to disagree. I'm moving on and I'm glad to see a lot of you also step in and say something productive and stand up against it too. I may be wrong at times or have an unpopular opinion but I will never not stand up for what I believe is the right thing. Eric, I really do appreciate everything you do to keep this board going and I apologize if I caused any grief directly or indirectly. Always remember sometimes we have to choose our battles and there's nothing wrong with ignoring people that won't ever consider the slightest possibility that they may be incorrect with their "facts". (Wednesday 7 June 2023; 06:43) this is a reply to message 102,832

Forbes richest women, no Mariah (102,832) by Edward from USA You seem to be a lil bit obtuse. "Yass Queen" doesn't refer to sexuality. It refers to what delusional fans like yourself blindly call Mariah when she has done a great or horrible job. And Eric, my dear, has always been fair to all of us. You don't get to have a board like this for 25 years by being a tyrant. (Tuesday 6 June 2023; 14:30)

Forbes richest women, no Mariah (102,830) by Libra Lamb from USA It was sarcasm. The only things you guys proved was that you can put words in people's mouths and mock their sexual preferences and claim victory. It's very one sided and Eric knows because my posts calling you out on it don't get published. Let's see if this one makes it. I seriously doubt it.

Forbes richest women, no Mariah (102,829) by Bill from the UK You're welcome. Facts always triumph over opinions. (Tuesday 6 June 2023; 12:35)

Forbes richest women, no Mariah (102,825) by Libra Lamb from USA Thank you Bill and Eric for proving my point today. Have a blessed day. (Tuesday 6 June 2023; 02:41) this is a reply to message 102,822

Forbes richest women, no Mariah (102,822) by Bill from the UK I mean I was literally the only person that commented on the original article so gathered it was directed at me. But yeh, sorry, as great as Mariah was, she's nowhere near as rich and popular as the ladies in the Forbes article. This is why she isn't on the list lol. Keep slaying. (Monday 5 June 2023; 16:31)

Forbes richest women, no Mariah (102,820) by Libra Lamb from USA I was not talking about you specifically but thanks for jumping in and writing my follow up post. As long as it fits your narrative, I guess. We were talking about careers in their peak, not individual songs that you chose yourself as examples. We were not talking about current status of their career either. What does fit you is that you always have to be right about everything and assuming of others. If I wanted to say it was you I would have said so, if the shoe fits please wear it. I'm unbothered and thanks for that silly post. It was funny. Yaaas queen. Werk. Lmao. (Monday 5 June 2023; 13:39) this is a reply to message 102,818

Forbes richest women, no Mariah (102,818) by Bill from the UK I'm not sure if you're referring to my post, but how was I negative and mad lol? All I said was that those artists on the Forbes list are massive and it is probably right. Whitney isn't on the list, and she's about the same level of popularity as Mariah in the world, so it makes sense. And yes Mariah has had a million number ones, but that can't always be the trump card you lay to try to win an argument. More people have heard of and know songs like Jolene and Papa Don't Preach over Thank God I Found You and I Don't Wanna Cry. As I said, Mariah has had a fantastic career, no one would ever doubt that, but you have to be more measured and realistic when analysing and reflecting on her career against her peers, especially in these later years where she is finding it increasingly difficult to hold on to her "greatest voice of a generation" tag. I'll write your next post for you: she has nothing to prove, if you don't like her why do you hang around here, get a life, yaas queen, slay. (Monday 5 June 2023; 08:19)

Forbes richest women, no Mariah (102,817) by Libra Lamb from USA I think only handful of artists have been more popular than Mariah at their respective prime. There's people here that strongly believe that their opinions are the only ones that matter. They have to be right about everything and will go to far lengths to defend their opinions, even when they are wrong and downright offensive. It's gotten really boring to see their posts get published but when you go against it, your post doesn't see the light of day. I get that the webmaster has the right to pick and choose, I'm just saying it's unfair and again, very boring. Yawn. I try not to argue with them simply because you can never win an argument against those. It's better to log off and go to do something positive and productive and let these "lambs" sit with their phones and attack Mariah and each other. Call me delusional or whatever and I don't care, your words mean nothing to me. Stay negative and stay mad. (Sunday 4 June 2023; 23:53) this is a reply to message 102,815

Forbes richest women, no Mariah (102,815) by Lady B from USA "all of those artists... way more popular than (Mariah) at her peak" No one on that list had more #1 hits than Mariah did over her top 5 year period and definitely not overall so that's an odd statement, but we're all entitled to our opinions, no matter how flawed they are. (Sunday 4 June 2023; 19:13)

Circles remix (102,804) by Libra Lamb from USA I like the music but I don't like what they did to the vocals. Remixes are a hit or miss. I'd rather the original track vocals be used in these remixes. Thanks for sharing it. (Friday 2 June 2023; 03:23) this is a reply to message 102,802

American Idol judges (102,799) by Libra Lamb from USA Some people always got to find the negative in a positive post. (Thursday 1 June 2023; 16:04) this is a reply to message 102,798

American Idol judges (102,798) by Edward from USA Mariah was the most qualified but she wasn't good at it. She was rather boring and couldn't articulate her thoughts easily. Everybody was always waiting for those enlightening critique moments, but they never came. Wait, there was an enlightening moment when she became the first judge ever to get late to the show set, the other judges had already started taping without her, and when she showed up, she said: "If you want a diva, you have to pay the price." Many times she went on her usual diva tangents and rather than being a judge, she was more worried about being nice. As much as I hate to say it, Nicki was better at it. Some people are or have a well of knowledge, they could be great at using it, but few have the skill to teach it. Mariah is great as a mentor, she's shown it on some shows, but she should stay away from judging on singing competitions. The good things is that she knows it. (Thursday 1 June 2023; 14:13)

American Idol judges (102,796) by Libra Lamb from USA I can't believe I'm bringing this up here and now after all these years but it's got to be said. And I'm not going to apologize for it. Mariah Carey was the most qualified to be a judge on American Idol than anyone else. Period. I'm not discounting anyone else's talents at all. I liked most of them, except the one we "don't know " and that other one that dared to attack MC. The nerve. I really wish Mariah had stayed on the show longer than one season because I enjoyed her mentoring the contestants. She actually knows a lot about the music industry and could have helped so many others. It's a shame what happened during her season. I hope we can one day get another show where she helps nurture and mentors young talent but without all the drama. She's just such a legend and a living Icon. We need to appreciate her because tomorrow is not promised. Remember, she owes no one anything. (Thursday 1 June 2023; 03:40)

Prelude to my next topic (102,744) by Libra Lamb from USA Rainbow is a great album, one of the most underrated and under appreciated in Mimi's catalogue. She had so much fun promoting it, with Bianca, and I'm sure recording it. Heartbreaker was the perfect song to kick off the singles and the music videos were genius. Some fillers but eventually those songs grew on me. Lots of singles and remixes to keep us busy and talking. No skips for me. The album and singles art was on point. We need another Rainbow album.

Prelude to my next topic (102,743) by Robert-Anthony from United States I have comprised some overall stats of Rainbow and Daydream in all areas and I have discovered some impressive stats. What I have discovered about Rainbow compared Daydream will get everybody talking and shine new light on MC as a brilliant artist. Rainbow was a huge success story for MC despite how Tommy sabotage its success. MC had total creative control during the recording and promotion of Rainbow while Tommy still had his puppet strings on MC during Daydream. Daydream was an enormous success, but MC lost such much control during the album promotion and looked defeated during her Grammys lost when she gave Columbia the best album of her career at the time. I will leave it there. I don't want share too much more of what I discovered about Rainbow being a huge triumph for MC. I don't think Rainbow has ever been called MC's liberation album But that is exactly what it was before Mimi was emancipated. Stay tuned for new post Saturday evening. Let me know your thoughts today. Agree or disagree? (Thursday 18 May 2023; 17:39)

Favorite 90s singles cover (102,738) by Libra Lamb from USA My favorite ones are some of the David LaChapelle photo shoots which included Rainbow and Glitter albums and single covers.
