| Mariah on a friend (42,040)
by Ryan from the Philippines
Mariah recently twitted, "Been praying and singing for my friend today. With you here in spirit. Hebrews 11." If I am not overanalyzing, was she talking about the late Whitney Houston? If I am right, then the Whitney cover might be coming to reality. I just can't wait for it. And yes, I am also hungry for a pop uptempo song. Bring on "Thirsty" as the official lead single Mariah. Scrap #Beautiful, TAOLG and You're Mine for the mean time. Better rearrange it, remaster or re-sung (YM will sound good in acapella with a guitar) and save it for an album re-release.

I too am ready for an uptempo. I hope she brewed up something hot she can release next to take us from Spring into Summer. It's been a minute since we had one, hasn't it? Speaking of uptempo, I think my favorite is Honey. Anyone else?

by Ender (602) from USA
I'm ready for an uptempo single. I want a club song like "Its like that", "Shake it off", or "Migate". I hope the song "Thirsty" that Mariah talked about in an interview is like this.

| #2's (42,036)
by Bill from UK
I've equally been as baffled by the sings which didn't reach #1 in the UK as well. I'll Be There was constantly on the airwaves at the time, and Mariah did an absolutely stunning rendition of the song on Top of the Pops, almost acapella. Just her, the back up singers and a piano. Absolutely electric performance. AIWFCIY ended up being her biggest seller here in the UK and arguably her best known song here, but was kept off by the rather drab Stay Another Day by East 17. And then of course We Belong Together narrowly missed he top spot, such a disappointment as this would have been Mariah's first #1 here of her own hand.

I also believe this song is a slow burner. But it does need live performances. Where is Mariah? I understand she's finishing the album, but she needs to perform it to get it out there. The lambs can only do so much.

| Lead The Way (42,034)
by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia
If Mariah picked Lead The Way as the first single off her first project (Glitter) from her new label (Virgin Records), maybe she would score another number one hit single in 2001. Even after 13 years, I'm still disappointed that Mariah and her new label picked Loverboy as the first single from their big budget project. What were they thinking? There were other great songs from that album to be picked from, and yet they picked Loverboy. Lead The Way was the right song to be promoted as first single because the song showcased Mariah's range as well as her vocal technique. The video could be Mariah singing in the empty theatre with the background visuals of the scenes from the movie. Imagine how perfect that could be.

I do think it's a slow burner. I've always liked the song, and think non lambs seem to like it. Radio impressions are increasing with each day, albeit by a small amount. If Mariah went on Arsenio, Ellen, Fallon, and performed the song, it would do wonders for the song. Sidenote: it's great to see you back messaging on the website.

| Mariah's Hot 100 number 2s (42,031)
by andy from philippines
"Can't Let Go" went number 2 in 1991 kept from number 1 by "All 4 Love" by Color Me Badd. The label had taken the single off from sales before it could reach number 1. "Endless Love" peaked number 2 in 1994 being held back from the top position by Boyz II Men's "I'll Make Love to You". "Loverboy" managed to reach number two on the Hot 100 in 2001 with "Bootylicious" by Destiny's Child holding it back from the top position. "Shake It Off" reached number 2 in 2005 behind "We Belong Together" in 1 week and "Gold Digger" by Kanye in 6 weeks. Also "Without You" in 1994 and "I Know What You Want" in 2003 both went number 3 while "I Still Believe" remix in 1999 went number 4 and "Make It Happen" went number 5 in 1992. Imagine if any of these top 5 songs went number 1, Mariah will have 20+ number ones dethroning The Beatles in the top spot. Unfortunately it's not.

| Babyface (42,030)
by B from USA
Mariah needs to write with Babyface. Never Forget You and Melt Away. Babyface's Everytime I Close My Eyes, espically the acapella version, which is the only three songs/times they've worked together. LA Reid is good friends with both of them. I think Mariah will sign with Epic Records which Reid runs. LA and Babyface were LAFACE Records.

by Special K from USA
I have heard You're Mine a few times on the radio. I must admit the song has grown on me. Sounds so much better when you're not watching the music video. Song could turn out to be a slow burner if Mariah starts performing it live. Can we say Arsenio Hall?

That looks like many of the messages he has left for others on and around YouTube (search for him on YouTube). He goes around bashing everyone who says they don't like Mariah. He bashes other singers such as Beyoncé and when her fans bash him, he says the same rotten stuff "you don't have a life", "you don't have a job", yadda yadda yadda. Clearly he spends his days harassing people online. He needs to get a life. The only nice things he has to say to anyone is a hot guy, and he's basically just telling then how he'd like to seduce them. What a sad sad guy. Personally I'm very impressed with your work (webmaster Eric, right?). I'm happy you've continued to update this page over the last 16 years. I've been coming to this and only this Mariah fan sure all the years and hope to keep come back.

by Jay from USA
I'm at work and have sat here at my desk for almost four hours listening to the same radio station and it seems the have the same ten songs on constant rotation. I usually dial surf and get different stations and don't really notice. It makes me think that IDJ would have to pay to have YM(E) added to the rotation. I'd rather have Mariah release a great album full of great songs. Instead of forcing people to play the song and pay to have another number one song.

You spend your whole life one the net and have it wrapped around this this site. Have a nice life on the net. Loser." He's right in one thing, most of my life I spend on the internet. But that is because it's my job. I'm the director of a successful company and we're specialized in webbased management systems and websites.

| Mariah's new album success (42,022)
by Andrew crisostomo from Canada, niagara falls
I hope that the albums content is great enough to win a Grammy. If it doesn't lift off because of sales and/or little promo it has gotten so far, a Grammy will definitely help its case. And it won't have to have the chart-topping singles, the quality of the album will get it to the success it deserves. And Mariah has mentioned that it will have a lot of vocals and ballad songs so I am very excited.

by Victor Peralta from Costa Rica
Have you see the pic on "Mariah Carey goes swimming with Dem Babies" article? It reminds me a little bit the Music Box era (probably the NBC's Thanksgiving special shots while she is driving or even the Dreamlover video look). And people, please change topics of this message board, all you do is argue. Who cares about other's people opinions? Let them express themselves (if they unproperly decide to do that, if you don't like or disagree on what they write, just ignore them). The important thing is to be loyal to your believes, have your own opinion (probably keep it to yourself) and hope for the best from Mariah. That's what I do. Have a nice day.

by Stephen from London, United Kingdom
Well said Stacey. I haven't contributed thus far, because it seems that every few months we have the same conversation, where people need to be reminded that opinions are just that, an opinion; not fact. We may disagree, but it's subjective and thus shouldn't interfere with anyone else's existence or happiness. Hence, why is it ridiculous to get offensive and name call as a result. I have found that lately on this board, there have been one or two people, who have been so absurd with how they have responded to people's opinions, that I cannot even be bothered to engage with them, even when they disagree with mine. Worse still, there are some who don't even read messages properly, and respond in an aggressive way, when what they are saying is in fact in agreement with the message they are getting ants in their pants about in the first place. Maybe the webmaster needs to out a be nice or leave Mariah banner on the top of the page to remind people about basic manners.

| Debates and disagree (42,014)
by RadChad from United States
I feel that it's okay to disagree with someone else's opinion on a matter as long as it doesn't become a childish or desrespectful moment. It's a messageboard we're going to debate, nothing necessarily wrong in that itself. Also I see nothing wrong and giving an opinion on another artist as it concerns Mariah. Now if we were randomly discussing JT for no good Mariah related reason at all then I could see the issue. Respect in general is the real on going issue here for some individuals.

We are all here because presumably we love Mariah's music. That doesn't mean that we necessarily love her image, her personality, her choice of words (STSHW, dahlings) etc. I've learned to make a difference between Mariah the singer/songwriter versus Mariah the person. She is free to be who she is, it's not up to me to say how she should be, otherwise I would be Tommy part 2.  Similarly on this board people are free to say what they want. If I don't like something someone said, I'll just ignore it. There's no point in specifically targeting someone's post just to reinforce your own stance or have the last word on an argument. This infighting is really a bad image of lambs in general. I mean, seriously, now the lambs are even arguing over whether Justin Timberlake is a good singer/douchebag/ opportunist or not.  Since when did this became a JT message board?

Carlos Jaramillo, I couldn't have said it better. I can understand when someone get censored here for using certain not so nice words stating an exciting opinion, but when you have to be censored for using nasty words towards other members, it is plain ridiculous. Justin Timberlake hasn't ever been hailed as a great singer, nor his voice has been praised like that either. He is more like an entertainer, and in fact his voice is nasal, and he said himself that he has a high pitch. He is more of a one man show, he looks great, sings, dances, and acts, but just that.

You guys can't be upset at Isaac. If you read his other posts, you will find that he munches on immaturity crackers all day and is the personification of "delusions". He is so steadfast on all his opinions and is incapable of separating fact from opinion and as a result gets a bit "testy" with his replies to people. My advice is to just give him the "thumbs down" he always brings upon himself and rightfully deserves and, lets keep focusing on the fabulosity that is Mariah Carey and, despite all our different opinions and view points, good or bad, we cant get enough of our musical supernova.

I was attacked because he chose to nitpick a sentence "not hating on JT but I just threw up a little in my mouth lol" and then ignore the rest of of my post. Apparently that statement was so offensive that it warranted an attack. I'm not a child and I don't need to be reprimanded.

No matter what anybody says, Miss Mariah takes her position in life as a full time responsibility to the icon of it all. She is always dressed, tressed, poofed and primed.

I hope she's having fun and I hope she does a 180 some day and starts doing something all together different musically and otherwise.

Of course people compare it to her old voice. Who else should we compare it to? We can't compare it to her most recent voice because we hardly hear it anyway.

I would rather hear her raw and imperfect voice, rather than perfect that is so obviously lipped/semi-lip.

It will always be a unnecessary part of any Mariah messageboard. I've been posting online at various MC messageboards for over a decade. It doesn't matter who calls who a name. Both people are in the wrong. Fans always have a choice. You can ignore things that bother you. The problem is many don't and choose to do the immature thing and throw out a name. I've seen many fans over the years take a contrary opinion to their thoughts as a personal attack. It took me many years to learn that just because a fan disagrees with me doesn't mean they are attacking me personally. I hope more fans will learn the difference and apply it when posting online.

| All petty things aside (41,991)
by Dani from USA
The music is still quality work. Recently, I listened to "Triumphant", "Almost Home", "Beautiful", "The Art of Letting Go", and "You're Mine (Eternal)" in succession and all at one sitting. I have to say that it's brilliant work. There's cohesion there that I don't get from other albums. One has to listen to it all as a whole in order to get the best experience possible. I think our problem is when we mull over one song for too long and dismiss it simply because it doesn't become a "hit". We have to stop equating quality with commercial success. I'm guilty of it, for sure, but now that I've listened to those 5 songs, one after the other, I understand what Mariah means when she says she's not done working on the album. Because the truth is, her releases up to now, do in fact reflect a kind of journey, a story. The songs we've heard from this era are definitely leading to something, a trajectory that I can't exactly pinpoint, but I know the overall product will be phenomenal. Cheers.

by Brad Catoe from United States
Your posts are cracking me up. I love it. Mariah message boards have always been a mess with "lambs". That's why I rarely visit. It's always like we really love Mariah but we hate her hair, her voice, the way she talks, the way she interviews, her perspective, her music, she sings with too many rappers, her music is out dated blah blah blah. Trust me I can critically think and sometimes I don't love everything Mariah does, but I always respect her. She's a mother with two kids who is balancing a demanding career with her family life. I think it's a feat in itself to write music and I think I can say Mimi has never made horrible music. Ok now you can go back to criticizing her and her decades long career. Lol.

I 100% agree with you about JT. He's never been the strongest vocalist, I've always thought JC Chasez had the better voice in N'Sync. The only reason Justin was the breakout star is because he's charismatic, worked with the best producers, can really dance, has a decent voice, and is considered attractive. In other words he has the X factor or star quality. I really have no desire to hear him sing with MC. For some reason he seems like an opportunist to me. Even though I am over the whole drama with Janet and how her left MC hanging in 01. There's just something disingenuous about him.

| Hey Mariah (41,983)
by Joyce from USA
It's that voice everyone wants to hear. Not the recent distressed textured or the Faith Evens 1997 inspired faint wispy tones. If you believe that voice is gone then so will it be. But, if you believe you can bring it back, then you will try to regain the power in your voice. You are a young woman, you are gifted and a legend. You came to be a legend solely for that voice. 5 number 1 hits on your very first album and for every year thereafter because of that awe inspiring voice. After you have tried all other gimmicks, all other collaborations and should they fail, it will be that nurtured back to strength voice that will banish all insecurity to you will rise again. However, maybe this time in your life is all about dem babies. Maybe it's time to let this career take a back seat as you spend every moment with these little angels of yours. Maybe your voice on a cosmic all is as it should be with your voice and it's now time to enjoy that rare fairytale ending. You deserve love and happiness and dem babies deserve the beautiful mommy they have.
