About Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End: What the hell is this, MyFace? You mess with MiMi, you mess with ME! #NuffSaid khassandras@gmail.com My MC 2015 fantasy wish list (48,007) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End (Saturday 22 November 2014; 3:07) "We've been hearing about things that either never come to fruition, get sabotaged or don't get promoted for decades now. So just for fun I'm putting together a lil list of all the things I wish are gonna be Mariah's big announcement for 2015 and or beyond. 1. A European residency in London to celebrate her 25th anniversary. 2. Carbonated Butterfly drink released internationally using Thirsty as promo. 3. An annual Christmas Broadway show written and produced by MC. 4. The Bond theme, performed, written and produced by MC and a cameo role on screen. I think Bianca needs to dust off her wig for this one. 5.The debut album re-released with the original demos, live performances and unleseased tracks or remixes. 6. An autobiography, maybe as a three-part book series? Childhood - The Sony years - Post Glitter. 7. A cable miniseries about her life using the books as a template. 8. Crave Records 2.0 and an HBO tv documentary chronicling the journey of MC mentoring new artists and maybe giving forgotten one's a new chance. 9. A Christmas movie produced and written by MC with old and new music where she plays at least one of the characters. 10. A DVD to commemorate her 18 US #1's with video commentary on every song and how it came to be from inception to charting. Also, funny anecdotes in the bonus features and guest appearances with her collaborators through the years. What do you guys wish Mariah's big 2015 announcement will be about?" I'm doing another wish list for 2016 so I went back to see what I posted last year. So far, I'm a pretty happy Lamb since several of the things on my wish list came true at least partially already. YAY!

For Kate and the nostalgia (51,448) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End First time a voice ever stopped me dead in my tracks was Vision Of Love. I was 9 or 10 years old and home alone watching videos on MTV or Super Channel. VOL came on and I literally walked up to the TV screen because I wanted to be as close to the source of that angelic voice as possessible. I never heard anyone use their voice like that and it blew my mind. We moved to another city shortly after that and again I saw her on TV and I had another moment. But I was a kid who basically listened to whatever my family members bought. I guess the official house diva was Whitney Houston so maybe that's why Mariah had to be snuck in for me to discover. Anyway, I was 12 and Dreamlover came out with those ethereal high notes. Music Box: that record was being played everywhere on TV and radio and for the first time I heard her unusual name be spoken out loud. Subsequently obsessed over MB when my sister borrowed it from her friend and I was in awe. From that moment I could distinguish her tone in a sea of cacophony. Unsurprisingly Daydream ended up being the first CD I ever bought with my own money. You wanna know what's funny? I didn't realise Mariah was the same singer as the VOL girl until we had internet access in JHS and the first extra curricular thing I ever searched was Mariah Carey in Altavista (90's Google). I was an amusement unto myself and started researching everything about her. Anyone who knew me even in passing associated me with singing and Mariah Carey. True story. (Tuesday 7 April 2015; 8:18)

Subconscious uncoupling (51,433) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End My bullshit detector is flawless. Just because Mariah is willingly putting her children's wellbeing ahead of her pride so they won't have to go through all of the turmoil she went through in her own parents divorce doesn't mean Thirsty is husband/daddy of the year. Everything he says is vetted by a publicist and let him tell it you'd think the divorce was the greatest thing that ever happened. If things are so damn great then why the hell is he knowingly breaking up his precious family? He's going overboard with faking it big time, because Mariah's being the bigger person by consciously making dysfunction functional and that's why I love her. If she had any good things to say about him she would have already said it. What's that expression: If you don't have anything good to say, then say nothing at all. Food for thought. Prediction: To no one's surprise, Mariah and Thirsty will be seen celebrating the twins' birthday anniversary together. Bittersweet, thy name is April 30th. (Monday 6 April 2015; 10:57)

The Mariah and Brett Radio call in full length audio (51,392) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End I love the battle of anniversary vs birthday thing they had going, I got the feeling it's a yearly tradition. The new video song better be some kinda bop this close to Summer. Mariah should go hard on the beat just like she did for Fantasy. *plays Making It Last All Night* Enjoy.

Greed is a hell of a drug (51,367) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Dear B, whether or not the book is ever published is almost irrelevant. The mere fact that the libellous treatment/synopsis is in the press undisputed is enough leverage for blackmail. Notice how all the false nasty rumours that's been put out about Mariah from circa 2011 until now are all being corroborated by Thirsty. What are the odds? At some point It became very obvious every single malicious attack of Mariah's character has been a tactic employed by the narcissist because he was building a case as far back as her pregnancy to get out of the marriage with maximum gains. There have been negative blind items floating around on websites and forums for years about Mariah where Thirsty always managed to remain untouched. Apart from that ridiculous planted story of him being some sort of drug kingpin that he only threw out there to divert attention from himself as the sourse gossiper. He's a manipulative and soul less creature IMO and I hope Mariah plays him out of any settlement because he's shown he's nothing but a bottomless pit when it comes to money. Someone who has no honour or any real human weaknesess or vulnerabilities can not be trusted to know right from wrong, let alone do right by his children's mother. He's a liar and a cheat and I despise the way he keeps emphasising how he will always be family, like it's a threat. With all that said, now we know why Thirsty insisted on those horrible children's books: subterfuge, deflection and leverage in the divorce. (Saturday 4 April 2015; 3:30)

Sleeping with the enemy (51,326) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Who wants to bet Thirsty a.k.a. Nickelodeon has stans that troll Mariah friendly zones all in these Internet streets? It's so fucking obvious because the Mariah bashing is always done in tandem like they all get a daily memo about what shit to start. Notice how they will never take up for Mariah but somehow always manage to justify defending the side of whomever is currently against her. Let's see who has the audacity to claim lambhood and finagle sympathy for Nick at Nite's Rapaciousness. Yesterday is over, today I won't suffer fools who dare give any credence to that piece of gutter trash masquerading as literature. Team Mariah better sue this male version of Heather Mills. Ugh, just when you forgot he even existed, any woman who willingly deals with this sociopathic douche after this has at least had fair warning. Something Mariah, unfortunately didn't. I'm praying the divorce is coming to a book end very soon. Amen. (Thursday 2 April 2015; 23:29)

RJJ12, Will, Bill, Lee, Billy on the Tidal wave (51,290) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End As far as I understand this whole Tidal thing, it sounds an awful lot like a pyramid scheme, only it's music celebrities that are going to benefit. I don't think the business model will last very long until the general public catch on but by then millions will have already been made. Maybe I'm overly cynical but that's my personal take and so I'm happy Mariah isn't driven by greed as much as she is driven by creating music for the consumption of those who will appreciate it the most. It also helps that she writes her own songs and owns all her own publishing and masters. Mariah is set for life. In that way Ben Margulies was a blessing in disguise with his slave contract back in the day. That probably wised her up to dodgy business dealings overall. I vote no to Tidal but good luck for this of you who buy into it. (Wednesday 1 April 2015; 19:58)

Disgusting hypocrisy (51,282) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Why is the triumvirate of hate repeatedly allowed to directly insult Mariah Carey on this board? Abraham just did what any lamb worth his wool would do. Besides, Photoshop works both ways, anyone can add pounds in picture just as easily as they can be subtracted. What kind of dimwitted amateur critics don't understand that? Funny how Mariah always manages to look stunning on video, no matter what. It couldn't possibly be because it's next to impossible to manipulate film footage after the fact, right? Also, congratulations to Thirsty on his special day. (Wednesday 1 April 2015; 15:00)

Mariah and Brett in St Bart's celebrating / Christmas movie in the works (51,197) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Basically, Mariah and Brett were on their way to St Barts celebrating their born days together when Brett called in to a radio station that was hyping Fantasy like regular lambs. MC and Brett ended up revealing that they're working on a Christmas movie together. I'm so excited. That means it's slated for a release this year. I really hope she's going to star in it. Also, I look forward to her playing a villain of some sort. *caugh* Bianca *caugh* (Saturday 28 March 2015; 7:38)

Yay, Happy Mariahversary (51,168) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Sending nothing but and well wishes on this here 3:27 (CET). May 2015 be the year of the butterfly in your honour. (Friday 27 March 2015; 15:28)

Mariah Carey carpool karaoke on the Late Late Show with James Corden (51,138) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End She just tweeted this out. It's a really fun clip and such a great promo of #1's. Also, I love whenever she goes into accents. Bring back Bianca. James is such a lamb it's not even funny. Keep it up Mariah. (Thursday 26 March 2015; 6:42)

RJJ12 / Da Brat as Mariah's proxy (51,115) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End You're of course right about the genius of Pure Imagination. Even my little brother who's 19 is greatly impressed by how it hasn't aged even a second. He's been hearing Mariah since he was days old courtesy of yours truly. That's almost unheard of. Very few artists' songs have those timeless qualities as consistently as Mariah to me. The production is so on point and every second counts. The wall of sound, just ugh, Masterful. Anyway, I miss Da Brat collaborating with Mariah. They have great musical chemistry and their personal friendship makes her raps all the more interesting because she usually spits quite the mouth full. Can you imagine the things she would have rapped about on MIAMTEC? Lord, on Thirsty? Maybe they are doing something for "The Album"? Here's to hoping. (Wednesday 25 March 2015; 12:55)

Mariah's teenage demo (51,113) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Wowzers, it seems as if Mariah is gearing up to release something with her demo. I wonder if #1's 2.0 is gonna be marketed as a double CD/DVD featuring the MC demos? It would almost have to be but what do I know. The instrumentation sounds raw enogh for me to believe it's real. Not to mention the slight difference in her phrasing, especially on Someday. Honestly, her demo was very professional. I can understand her frustration with having overproduction much better now after hearing it. All these demo teasers are making me happy. Yay. What are you all thinking? (Wednesday 25 March 2015; 11:35)

Thirsty the troll (51,077) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End He's focusing on being the best douchebag he can possibly be. That's what he's good at. Who the hell does he think he's fooling? Everybody knows Mariah put him on blast in Tokyo with "I know you cheated motherfucker". He's such a pretender. I mean, the ease with which he will misrepresent his real personality is beyond disturbing. Also, Farnsworth Bentley called, he wants his damn wardrobe back. (Sunday 22 March 2015; 13:32)

Favourite interviewers, so far (51,038) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End 1. Charlie Rose 2. Lost Rainbow interviewer 3. Tabitha Soren 4. John Norris 5. Barbara Walters Things narrow list is why Mariah needs to make a documentary. There reapply aren't that many great portrait pieces of her out there. She needs to present the sum of all her parts every once in a while, with no interruptions, or else anyone can keep picking and choosing what they want to label her as. She can't control the editing of mass media but she can make it more difficult for them. I love what she is doing by taking control of her career and maintaining radio silence on negative stories. I'm just saying, when she finally does do interviews and press to make it count this time around. No vanilla sit down with Oprah or some hot vlogger who knows shit about her music. Pick people who do their homework well, have a genuine passion for music and actually practice true journalism. There are probably fans who could do a better job interviewing Mariah than most of these so called reporters who can't even bother to fact check song titles before they rush to print a story. I'm volunteering right now. Also, I wanna know who you guys think I might have missed or forgotten about that has interviewed Mariah as well as any of the five above listed. (Thursday 19 March 2015; 4:05)

RJJ12 and Wendy's agenda (51,030) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End RJ, Wendy is trolling Mariah. And it doesn't hurt her ratings because contrary to popular belief any story about Mariah holds the interest of the GP. Isn't it funny how she had more access to Mariah when she did radio though? You would think TV had elevated her status but it seems like it did just the opposite. I'm glad Mariah pays her dust, just like she does all the negative Nancys and Debbie downers. We should follow her example in our own lives. goes out to Shelly (Thursday 19 March 2015; 0:51)

JD and MC recoding a whole new album (50,907) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End I'm excited, Jermaine tweeted a link to this article. Yay for new music. This is obviously a separate project from #1's 2.0 I knew it, because Mariah kept tweeting about her Hero performance way into this morning, like she never went to bed. Are you guys so excited? (Sunday 15 March 2015; 19:55)

Poor Madonna (50,906) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Why are posters taking up web space on MCA to praise Madonna? Just looks like a more passive aggressive way of dissing Mariah to me. If I want to indulge in fangurling over other artists I simply go the their many available online forums. Last time I checked MCA is not Madonna Ciccone Archives. It's not like Mariah just performed live, effortlessly, at the HRC gala. Or how about that great interview that's resurfaced from 1999? No, let's talk about an artist that has nothing to do with Mariah at all. The moxie. Really, it makes me pity Madonna if this is the sort of tactic her die hard fans employ. Infiltrating other fandoms strictly to derail? Bless your hearts, we all know you don't really stan for Madonna other than on here. You all ain't slick. (Sunday 15 March 2015; 19:18)

Mariah just tweeted a Hero snippet from an InstaLamb (50,883) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End "Hero at HRC gala tonight." I have it on loop as it's phenomenal. I can't wait for a lamb to upload the whole thing on YouTube. I love how Mariah's so interactive with us these days. Remind me of when she used to leave voice mails during the Rainbow and Glitter era. Anyway, enjoy. (Sunday 15 March 2015; 7:20)

Rainbow the girl power album? (50,855) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End When I was putting my list together of my fave MC partnerships I was reminded of how Rainbow is the one album of Mariah's where she worked the most with other female writers, producers and fellow artists. Even the Lauren Hill collabo that never happened was supposed to be on that album. Diane Warren, Missy Elliot, Tracey Waples, Da Brat and Kandi Burruss. I wondered if it was by design or just happenstance. But then, the title and cover is also a salute to the LGBT struggle. So, it looks like it was an intentional direction by Mariah for Rainbow to encompass the many colors of equal rights that she represents. It also could be all in my mind.

Favourite musical partnerships of Mariah's (50,844) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End 1. Jermaine Dupri *Brian Michael Cox *Manuel Seal, 20 years this year 2. David Morales 3. Big Jim 4. Puffy and Stevie J. 6. The Dream and Tricky 7. Ben Margulies *Ric Wake *Narrada Michael Walden #Afanasieff 8. Walter Afanasieff 9. Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis #James "Big Jim" Wright 10. Clivillés and Cole **Honourable mentions: Marc Shaiman, Da Brat, Damizza. The only position that is fixed is the #1 spot and I mainly have Walter on the list for sentimental reasons. I have no desire for them to work together again in any capacity even though she's back at Sony. I'm curious what the rest of the Lambily's lists look like. Have a go, why don't you? (Friday 13 March 2015; 5:56)

So's to Nikki, TheVoice and Abraham (50,825) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Nikki, there is no need to apologise, especially over someone like Thirsty. He had a lot of people fooled. Even though I never warmed up to him, I wanted to believe he was making Mariah happy. He reminds me of that woman, Heather Mills, who married Paul McCartney and tried to take him for all he was worth not four years later. I remember watching a documentary featuring Paul and Heather and knowing just from the look on Mick Fleetwood's face during his "positive" commentary on Heather, that he meant just the opposite of what he was saying on camera: he didn't believe it was genuine at all. I bet there were also people in Mariah's camp who figured out Nick from the get-go too. But I guess no one thought she'd marry him so quickly without warning. At least Mariah was smart enough to have a prenup even in her temporary insanity. It's like that you all, people will take advantage of your heart whether you're McCartney, MJ or Mariah. Meanwhile, Thirsty is on Instagram posting emo quotes and looking like twelve years a slave. Karma. It's like that you all. (Thursday 12 March 2015; 19:27)

It's official you all, Mariah and Sony are back together (50,813) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End I don't even care that it's Roger Friedman breaking it. Mariah is back home. I feel like she's been moved 13 times since Tommy made her leave her musical home back in 2001. She helped build that house and I believe it was only ever a matter of time before she found her way back. Was this why MC and JD rendezvoused in L.A. last week instead of ATL? Yay for 2015 as the year of the butterfly. I wonder how many albums she owes them this time round. I'm hoping for a conservative number. What do you guys think of the new Sony deal? (Thursday 12 March 2015; 4:32)

Cannon who? (50,752) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End That was literally what went through my head, even if only a few moments, as I read the last paragraphs of the Bel-Air house sale from a few days ago. The writer of the article omitted Nick from Cannon and I completely forgot who he was. It took me to actually finish reading the article for it to dawn on me. I made "Cannon" into one of the previous celebrity owners, like Farrah Fawcett etc. In my mind, he was some older Hollywood royalty akin to Aaron Spelling. He was Jewish and everything. "Singer-superstar Carey, known for vocal range, has received five Grammy Awards. Among her award-winning work is the album 'The Emancipation Of Mimi' and recognition as best new artist in 1990. Cannon has written for several television shows bearing his name as well as 'Incredible Crew' (2012-13). He has hosted his own shows and 'America's Got Talent' (2009-13). They separated last year and have filed for divorce, according to multiple media reports." It was so weird how I had to actually read the last sentence repeatedly for it to fully register. Yeah, crazy, I know. But to be fair I was on several media platforms and playing music, texting etc. He honestly slipped my mind. (Tuesday 10 March 2015; 15:10)

Amber, Billy on Mariah's look / Where is her beauty brand? (50,682) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Amber, I totally shaped my eyebrows like Mariah too, once I got the hang of the tweezers. Initially I shaved them. That went completely left as you can imagine, but I was only 12 when I did that genius move. It's only funny now that I know Mariah did the same thing as a kid. I've since not tweezed once for over 3 years now after waxing for a decade. I bet your makeup is on point if you have Mariah as your template. I'm surprised she hasn't made good on her beauty/makeup line because that chick's face is, and always was, flawless. Like, have you ever seen Mariah not look young, fresh and new? She's a freak of nature in more ways than one. It can't be all genetics, can it? Billy, I never knew Lenny Kravitz had Heartbreaker jeans but I got this confirmation from Google. BTW, I wonder if Mariah and Lenny are ever gonna release a song together. That would be a hot tamale for sure. They've known each other since before they made it big. You have to be a lamb to even know stuff like that. She understands celebrity versus reality. I love that about Mariah. (Friday 6 March 2015; 18:09)

How has Mariah influenced your personal style, if at all? (50,647) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End So that above clip from circa 2007 had me going down fashion memory lane with Mariah. And I remember how much I gravitated towards anything that looked like her signature Victor Alfaro dresses. I even went to my aunt's wedding with a little black dress. I honestly couldn't have cared less because I wanted to look chic at every cost back when I was a teen in the 90's. I didn't realise at the time I was more or less trying to emulate Mariah's style. It just so happens I also grew to have a similar build to hers, curvy mesomorph. I remember during the Rainbow era how she single handedly changed the way girls and women wore jeans for over a decade after the Heartbreaker video came out. I cut the top of a pair of my light blue jeans too before the fashion industry caught up, and wore them one summer. I also never follow trends. It's easier to follow what looks good on my body and makes for a more cohesive and timeless wardrobe. So, what say you, how has Mariah influenced your style? (Thursday 5 March 2015; 1:19)
