Re: New single at iHeart festival? (83,246) (83,247) by Dennis from Miami, FL Judging by some of her recent interviews and Christmas tour, I am pretty sure there will be no new album or single this year. I doubt she will release anything before spring. Or it will be a new Christmas album. I'm sure her team will try to make AIWFCIY #1 this year. (Thursday 26 July 2018; 01:39)

New single at iHeart festival? (83,246) by T from USA Some people think she will use iHeart Radio festival to introduce a new song but that is so un-Mariah to do. Imagine her dismay when she finds out crappy audio recordings from cell phones is the thing people hear first, because the program isn't live and doesn't air for a few weeks after the performance. If she wants to perform something new at iHeart she will indeed release the song long before the festival. I just don't see it happening at this point. (Wednesday 25 July 2018; 22:44)

New avatar (83,245) by Jeff from USA Hi everyone. I've been a long-time member. I lurk a lot, but sometimes post. Today felt like a good day for a change of avatars. Is anyone else feeling the "Breakdown" love? (Wednesday 25 July 2018; 16:36)

Re: Lambily treat (83,230) (83,244) by Terna from Nigeria Aww, thanks man I appreciate. I have been missing for a minute haven't I? Life gets in the way I guess, not as frequent as I used to be here when I was a teen. Lol. I also look forward to your posts as I love your energy and I always get a big grin everytime I read them. Lol. Would love to connect outside this board if you're interested. I heard you sing too. ternaugoh@gmail.com (Wednesday 25 July 2018; 12:30)

Re: "Lullaby" Can’t Go For That remix? (83,165) (83,243) by Chris Owen from UK Hi are you able to send it to me as well please? It would be much appreciates as I've never heard it. Thanks. chris.owen.new@gmail.com (Tuesday 24 July 2018; 11:47)

Re: Change of topic (83,239) (83,242) by TJ from Norway Let's not forget the remix of TGIFY. (Tuesday 24 July 2018; 09:54)

Re: Change of topic (83,239) (83,241) by B from USA Slowly but surely, darling. (Tuesday 24 July 2018; 02:55)

Re: Random thought about "Where are You Christmas?" (83,229) (83,240) by loverboy from Canada Definitely very Mariah-esque. It always reminded me of "Miss you most (at Christmas time)", especially the pre-chorus part. (Tuesday 24 July 2018; 02:45)

Since we're sharing fun videos (83,238) by Chicago Lamb from USA I think these are great collage of moments. (Monday 23 July 2018; 22:08)

Re: A message for B (83,224) (83,237) by Bill from the UK Thanks for the reply Randy and for taking the time to list those performances for me. I'll certainly re-watch them all. I do have a question mark over big televised performances though as they are often subject to overdubbing the imperfections. But perhaps that's not fair of me to say that.

Pink taking the p out of Mariah (83,236) by ldyer from England So hilarious. Adele was right, Mariah's a bit biblical lol. (Monday 23 July 2018; 17:17)

Re: "Lullaby" Can't Go For That remix? (83,180) (83,235) by R&B Junkie from Poland I'd be pleased too. r-n-b.junkie@hotmail.com (Monday 23 July 2018; 16:51)

Can't nobody, can't nobody tell me nuttin' (83,234) by Andrew from UK I don't know if this had been posted before but I just came across it and I think I'm going to use it for two reasons. First, to prove my point and to pitch that, as the years go by in the video, I would bet your anxiety levels steadily increase. But primarily: I am not sure I have ever heard Mariah sing anything from Cruise Control before. This. Is. Gold. (Monday 23 July 2018; 15:55)

Re: A message for B (83,223) (83,233) by Andrew from UK Lordy me. For you to call someone a liar is one of the most ridiculous things ever. To question the integrity of someone who has always been, at once, both polite and fair, when your posts are complete misrepresentations of the truth, drowning in conjecture, suffocating from lack of proper analysis and mired in feeling over fact, well, it's hilarious. It is one thing to be positive and empasise the good, it is another thing to deny or twist the negative. I remember being like you from about 1999 to 2008. Then I accepted reality and yet still spend my life listening to and talking about Mariah. See, you may be a different character to me, but denying the truth doesn't mean "hate". In fact, emphasising the truth and still remaining a fan surely means the complete opposite. To quote your favourite book: "The truth shall set you free." (Monday 23 July 2018; 15:44)

William and Randy (83,232) by Andrew from UK I suppose what William means is that post 1996 there was a definite shift in quality and it quickly became a reality that each performance was nerve-wracking to watch - you did not have faith that it was going to sound okay, not be lipped or not leave you embarrassed. You don't turn on a post 96 Mariah performance and think "watch this, people", instead you reach for a cushion to hide behind and think "oh shite, here we go". So Randy may be correct that there were some very good performances, but William is correct that that doesn't necessarily mean they were enjoyable. But I have, and will always, extol the virtues of A Home for the Holidays. Something about that performance, that era, that look, that personality. Magic. Except for when one choir is called "elite" and the other one wasn't. Luckily the post 96 cushion was within reach. (Monday 23 July 2018; 15:33)

Re: Lambily treat (83,222) (83,230) by Edouard from France Oh Terna. Totally agree with you. How good it is to finally have you back on the board. Thank you for your positivity. Refreshing. Peace. (Monday 23 July 2018; 12:11)

Re: Random thought about "Where are You Christmas?" (83,225) (83,229) by Edouard from France Hey. I believe Mariah posted something a year or two ago, saying how great it was to have AIWFC and WAYC at number 1 and 2 on iTunes or something like that. She's claimed that song, in terms of the writing credits at least. Plus I've always thought that you can hear Mariah all over WAYC. It's a if Faith Hill sung on top of a Mariah demo of the song. I mean, the way she sings it is very Mariah-esque don't you think? Peace. (Monday 23 July 2018; 12:09)

Do you think (83,228) by Todd from Melbourne, Australia That Mariah lets her kids listen to current pop songs? I have nieces and nephews their age, and they are obsessed with Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Demi Lovato, Ed Sheeran and the likes. So I wonder if her kids are all "Mummy (or Mommy), put on 'No Tears Left To Cry' again." (Monday 23 July 2018; 09:52)

Vision of Love 7/10/18 (83,227) by 123 from USA I don't know why I'm even posting this on this board as it doesn't seem to fit the current narrative, but for anyone that might actually like it like it did. Here you go. (Monday 23 July 2018; 09:19)

Re: A message for B (83,223) (83,226) by Bill from the UK Please send me the 100% live performances post 1996 that you enjoy. As I said originally I am genuinely interested in these, because I've yet to come across one. (Monday 23 July 2018; 06:44)

Random thought about "Where are You Christmas?" (83,225) by CDC from CA Does anyone know if Mariah has ever acknowledged that song? Also do we know what exactly her contribution to the song was? I don't have a copy of the soundtrack so I can't check the writing credits but is it safe to say that she wrote additional lyrics for the longer, pop version that Faith Hill ultimately recorded, while Will Jennings wrote the lyrics to the shorter, film version sung by Cindy Lou? (Monday 23 July 2018; 06:36)

Re: A message for B (83,220) (83,224) by Randy from USA Bill you know I am the most disgusted fan as far as MC lipping on stage but I have to disagree with you on no good performances since 96 without lipping but the fact that I can count them down shows that in 22 years it's been mostly a farce. 1997 singing My All on Rosie was decent. 1997 SNL performance was decent. 1998 Divas Live My All was really good and then her voice fell apart. 1998 My All at the Blockbuster awards and the Pavorotti and friends were decent. 1998 Oprah performances were decent but I think Whitney won that match up. However at the 1998 Billboard Awards she was much more composed than Whitney and did a decent performance of I Still Believe. The 1998 Rosie O'Donnell performance of I Still Believe was decent. Then Whitney murdered her at the 1999 Oscars. She lip synced every damn climax through the Rainbow promotional run as well as the tour. She then had her breakdown and got some rest and sounded amazing at the A Home For The Holidays special where she sang Reflections and Never Too Far/Hero. And I would bet money those were 100% live. Same at the Radio Music Hall performance of Never Too Far. Every climax from Charmbracelet promotional run and tour was lip synced. Then we get to TEOM whereas she lip synced the climax to It's Like That but sounded beautiful and sang all of With You I'm Born Again. Then she lipsynced the climax to We Belong Together a million times. This is when she started creating raspy tracks to match her current voice so it wouldn't be so stark. I was done with MC live after that. Until surprise, surprise that Jimmy Fallon impromptu performance for the fans. She had so much control and was actually playing with a song which she never does. She normally just sticks to the record and does little improvisation. But that was almost ten years ago. She has been a complete climax lip syncing mess since. So my point: I agree that she has been disastrous and lip syncing for a long time but everytime I count her out, she surprises me. After Rainbow, I was done and she came with those Glitter performances. After Charmbracelet and TEOM, I was done and she came with Jimmy Fallon. So maybe just maybe one day we will get something and can say slay. (Monday 23 July 2018; 01:46)

Re: A message for B (83,220) (83,223) by Terna from Nigeria As Aretha Franklin would say "Lies, stacked upon more lies." Also please do speak for only yourself when you say "I've not seen her deliver a decent 100% live performance since 1996. None of us have." Well I have, countless times and that right there is a blatant fat lie. Honestly, you old fans need to quit disrespecting this woman. (Monday 23 July 2018; 00:19)
