About Tijl from Belgium: Enchanted by Mariah ever since 'Butterfly' dem Gucci heels in the pool!!!

Mariah happy (56,298) by Tijl from Belgium Hello Lambily. I follow MCA incessantly (pun intended lol) and sometimes I really can not believe the content on here. I love this woman more than I can express. My friends and people around me know and think I am bonkers but still. I even launched an expression we now use on funny moments. Whenever something is wrong or just not right, I would say in her very divalicious manner (with handgesture included): "Mimi says no." Mariah has inspired me, been a companion through so many times and whatever she does, right or wrong, I support her. Lipsyncing? Whatever, she has nothing to proove. Less PR? She has kids. This lady is a living legend and anyone who can do better... "Can the real MC please stand up to the mic?" I find her latest work the best and most genuine ever, commercial flops or not. Thank you miss Mariah Carey, MC, Mimi, elusive chanteuse for your gift and sharing it with us. (Wednesday 26 August 2015; 5:26)

Mariah in Cannes (55,360) by Tijl from Belgium This is so exciting. A former colleague of mine works as an assistant manager for a very profilic luxury brand in Cannes. A few weeks ago, when Mariah was cruising along the Cote d'Azur, she walked into the store where my friend works. She was in the company of two men, which one of them being Christopher Buckle (according to my friends description ). My friend told Mariah was very polite and very sweet with the softest and warmest voice imagineable. She wore a long Cavalli dress and very high heels. She picked out some items for her new beau. She was very apologetic towards my friend for giving her so much to do. Sweet . One of the men paid and they left very quietly. (Monday 20 July 2015; 19:46)

"To see me back at #1" (54,395) by Tijl from Belgium People keep going on about "Infinty" not being strong material. As with every new single from Mariah that isn't repeating the previous one, so many fans cry wolf. "Infinity" is a good song with many layers. I believe the marketing machine behind Mariah isn't just as it was in the old days. Mainly because Mariah decided to balance out her private life with her career. I remember very well a documentary on the "Charmbracelet' era were she visited 3 different European countries in one single day, giving interviews, attended meet and greets and had camera crews following her. And that was just one single day after day after day. With dem babies it would be impossible to do such intense promotion for singles or albums. As well, that was 12 years ago. Remember the promotion tour for "Emancipation"? I do believe with proper intense promotion "#1 to infinity" and "Infinity" could have been a greater succes. Just as well, music has changed so much over the last decade. Any piece of junk can be marketed to good sales. At the end of the day, I am not defending Mariah being Cinderella. She has flaws there she is a human being. She has given me many times of consolation and support in difficult times of my life just as she made me happy. To me, she has nothing left to prove being already a living legend with a body of work that won't be surpased very soon. I just find it far due for some moguls in the industry to finally acknowledge her legacy. (Tuesday 9 June 2015; 0:10)

Side effects (54,357) by Tijl from Belgium Hello Lambily. I think we all agree on the fact that there are definitely some people with power trying to work against our girl. As a matter a fact a very close friend of mine met a presidential bodyguard when he was escorting president Obama during a trip to Europe. This bodyguard had also worked closely with Mariah during several occasions. He confided to my friend that indeed some forces are working against her. He mentioned something about links to mobsters. We all know for a fact that mister "Side Effects" is very powerful and has many times debunked Mimi's career. However that certain bodyguard was very carefull in giving too much information but he pressed on the fact that people he used to be on her side are now working against her because they are told so. I don't know how accurate this information is, but we should accept that in every business there are politics involved and that if you don't play the game according to the powers that be like it, you are in for a tough ride. Mariah has made some of her strongest and deepest music over the last years yet everything seems to fail. Clearly something is going on behind the scenes. Too many undermining stories pop up randomly. These stories make my blood boil as I believe she is a genuinely good person. (Monday 8 June 2015; 17:10)

Why so harsh? (47,405) by Tijl from Belgium I have never, but really never ever before posted on any forum endorsing Mariah. Basically because I believe too many people project their frustrations and insecurities onto a subject that is easy to hit. When I read all the comments regarding Mariah's latest tour I feel so sad. Are amateuristic videos really a trustworthy source? We can not neglect the fact that our girl is going through some rough times and that her voice indeed has changed. She is out there for the fans. Do people realise that using the voice at that level is the equivalent of an athlete performing sports at an Olympic level continuously? Give her break. We all know she has the voice, she can do it.. Maybe not all perfect all the time. Question yourself why you have become a fan in the first place. (Monday 13 October 2014; 16:55)
