Re: Mariah (61,796) (61,802) by Will from England I'm so glad I'm not the only one lol. Thought I was failing at understanding basic English in a massive way. (Tuesday 3 May 2016; 19:13)

Mariah Carey's collaborators share untold stories (61,256) by Will from England It sounds like ODB and Puff was a nightmare to work with from a producer's perspective, and not quite the smooth sailing that Mariah paints when she talks about the collaboration. Calling Mariah "whack"? Good thing I'm not Mariah because I would've not bothered to work with him again lol. And the story behind "Breakdown", BTNH passing out in the studio is not quite how I imagined it going down lol. And reading whom she was thinking of when she began to write OSD is a touching moment, especially with what's been going on in the news. It's really nice to see the praise Mariah gets as a songwriter and a melodist/top-line writer, and not just a diva/singer. (Wednesday 13 April 2016; 0:32)

Re: Tourbook credits (61,018) (61,034) by Will from England It isn't just Mishka or whatever her name is running Mariah's SM. One line underneath, you can see that she has someone else/another company running her SM as well. Mariah isn't that silly to let a 12 year old run it by herself lol. (Monday 4 April 2016; 23:18)

Re: Belgium show (60,811) (60,812) by Will from England Engaged, that should say engaged lol. (Saturday 26 March 2016; 0:56)

Belgium show (60,811) by Will from England I don't blame Mariah at all for cancelling the show. If they can hit a small show in Paris, then a rich American woman, married to a white billionaire, with 8000 people in one area would be too much of a tempting target. I do feel sorry for the fans that traveled and spent a lot of money to get to the show, and maybe on a certain level, I do feel that announcing the cancellation of a show the day before, is a bit late. But I like to think that Mariah exhausted every possibility to make sure that the show could go ahead, until the last minute. And when the docu-series comes out, I'm almost certain that this will be a highlighted episode and we can see what went on. (Saturday 26 March 2016; 0:41)

O2 (60,793) by Will from England Last night was my very first Mariah concert. I'll admit, I was nervous, because of what we've seen her voice could be in the past when it's not at it's best, and even the recent stellar performances still had me a bit uneasy. Well, I was wrong. She exceeded all of my expectations, and then some. It was an absolute thrill to hear her sing all the songs that I love (including my first, "Without You") and she was funny, endearing and a true performer. I don't care if she lipped, I couldn't tell and I don't want to know when and where she did. She made me cry, she made me laugh, and she made me smile from beginning to end. A truly wonderful night that I won't forget ever. Please don't leave it another 13 years Mariah. I don't think you've lived until you hear "Emotions" live lol. (Thursday 24 March 2016; 21:38)

Re: Another rant (60,735) (60,747) by Will from England No one's checking for Stella's kids, nor does anyone outside the lambily care whom Stella or her kids are (aside from the negative press that Stella is gathering for herself). The public's eyes will always be on Mariah in every photo, not the desperate fame-hungry manager trying to get her kids in on Mariah's fame. They're not even name checked by any of the tabloids, only referred to as "children". Even Roc n' Roe have more star power than Stella and her kids combined. No one cares about them lol. And if Stella somehow does make the reality show about her, people still won't care, and probably will in fact question why she's so important on the show, compared to the one true star that everyone is interested in.

This set list (60,459) by Will from England Sorry Eric, another message from me. Ok, so this set list (so far, again, at the time of writing) rocks and I'm beyond excited for what she'll be singing next week. Loverboy? WYB? AAO? Mariah is coming for our feels, and she can have them all from me. I shall be nothing more than a puddle of tears at the O2 and with no shame at all. (Tuesday 15 March 2016; 23:44)

Mariah's World (60,457) by Will from England Thank heavens, Mariah has confirmed that the show is to be called "Mariah's World", not "Mariah's Squad". I can practically hear the sigh of relief from the message board members lol. (Tuesday 15 March 2016; 22:55)

New hair length (60,455) by Will from England Ok, I'm looking at the photos that are currently circulating from her Glasgow show at the time of writing, and it looks like she's got short hair. Like the length she's got in the "Be Nice or Leave" photo. (Tuesday 15 March 2016; 22:50)

Re: Morgan (60,398) (60,407) by Will from England Yeah, I just read the article on the Daily Mail. And I'll admit, it's nice to see that the public have Mariah's back on this on not taking what is written at face value. (Sunday 13 March 2016; 20:28)

Re: Mariah's Squad (60,337) (60,348) by Will from England I'll admit, I was not fully aware of how much Stella is a part of Mariah's life. She may as well have her kids adopted by Mariah, considering how much time she spend photographing them with her (plus the odd other celebrity, that Will Ferrell one ). Whilst she has helped to boost Mariah's image with the public, I hope that this "Mariah's Squad" title is just like "MC3", and it will actually be changed last minute by Mariah. I also hope it won't be another thing like "Lollipop Bling", where Mariah says that she had no idea that's what they were calling that line, or the cover art for YDKWTD. We've heard rumours/whispers about a potential behind the scenes for her Vegas shows, so let's see what happens next. As long as Mariah has zero control over the angle/lighting thing, and just let's them film her naturally, then it should be ok. But hey, it's ok to dream lol. (Friday 11 March 2016; 0:20)

Charmbracelet (60,246) by Will from England A small detail, but it's nice to see her wearing her charmbracelet again, especially with the love for IOW is getting on the board. (Monday 7 March 2016; 22:45)

Re: Skits (60,218) (60,225) by Will from England Can you imagine Mariah doing that? That would be incredible. (Sunday 6 March 2016; 20:15)

#14 (59,939) by Will from England Well, Billboard is already calling "Work" Rihanna's 14th #1, which (if they are right after this week's update) would put her right behind Mariah. It's scary to see her literally four songs away, and she can do it easily. With her following and hype around her, she can secure her four #1s possibly over the next couple of years. Mariah better pay attention because she will no longer be "the solo artist with the most #1s" (which has been her title for the past 8 years) and the importance of her Vegas show would be slightly diminished. Of course, the impact would be less for Rihanna, because she hasn't written or produced or anything of her #1s, which gives Mariah's achievement far more credibility. And let's not get into the vocal comparison. We know what Rihanna can't do. Also, I can't begin to name any of her previous 13. (Monday 22 February 2016; 22:10)

Valentine's performance (59,805) by Will from England Oh my, have you seen this compilation of some of Mariah's performances on Valentine's Day? It's amazing to hear her voice as good as this. (Tuesday 16 February 2016; 23:43)

Rainbow / E=MC2 (59,779) by Will from England Don't forget that Rainbow was the result of Glitter being pushed back, and that it would be her last album with Sony. She has said that she used songs that were to be for Glitter on Rainbow instead. Also, include the fact that it was recorded over a very short period of time, and she wasn't even planning this album. It just happened. E=MC2 was the first album that I bought by myself, and when I really got into Mariah. So that album is very special to me, especially Side Effects. (Monday 15 February 2016; 19:59)

Re: MC's Top 5 most watched videos on YouTube (59,559) (59,563) by Will from England I haven't laughed that hard for a long time. Thank you. (Thursday 4 February 2016; 10:31)

Guinness World Record 2016 (59,376) by Will from England "The Voice Is Mariah Carey" on Facebook uploaded a photo of a page from the World Record 2016, which shows the top 10 "Biggest Selling Artists Ever" from all music genres combined onto one chart. Mariah came in at Number 3, behind The Beatles and Garth Brooks. I'm not sure which sales were included. (Wednesday 27 January 2016; 20:07)

Mariah and Stella (59,326) by Will from England Could it possibly that Stella's kids, no matter the age difference, are there to help entertain and play with Mariah's kids? I can't imagine that outside of a school setting, they'd be able to meet other kids under "normal" circumstances (i.e. at a park). (Monday 25 January 2016; 19:59)

Re: I can't be the only one (59,256) (59,260) by Will from England Eh, it's better than (surprise) marrying him after only two months. At least she knows him a little bit better than she did with Nick. Let's see how this goes. (Saturday 23 January 2016; 0:29)

Re: Underrated songs with chart potentials (58,900) (58,905) by Will from England Ah ok, fair enough. Maybe I'm thinking of another interview. (Wednesday 6 January 2016; 0:00)

Re: Underrated songs with chart potentials (58,890) (58,894) by Will from England I thought she said "I would've" instead of "I wouldn't", in reference to releasing Migrate. (Tuesday 5 January 2016; 14:26)

Re: What Mariah song brings you to tears? (58,836) (58,853) by Will from England Great topic. It's either Looking In, Petals, CTTA or TTR. On the odd occasion, Hero. (Sunday 3 January 2016; 1:33)

Rolling In The Lols (58,835) by Will from England Did someone really just say and suggest I'm a troll? Look, I respect both artists for their craft. Both are different in terms of writing styles and vocal ability. That, for me, does not mean one is better than the other because both are good. Both Mariah and Adele are talented musicians and artists in their own respective ways that can be appreciated. And for the record, I would never stoop to the point of calling another record-breaking talented artist "basic", because that (caps) is insulting, disrespectful and degrading. I'm not going into how much I admire and respect Mariah's musicianship because I've done that a thousand times already. (Saturday 2 January 2016; 15:54)
