Vote for Mariah (64,063) by Nicole from US Billboard's 2016 Fan Army Face Off. She is losing to Thirty Seconds to Mars. (Thursday 7 July 2016; 0:23)

Re: Physic (64,060) (64,062) by RibbonB from USA I agree Marissa and she gets more and more risqué when she wants attention both good or bad. Sadly, as public attention wanes she tends to do more and more desperate things to achieve it. Hollywood is great, Hollywood can also be a cesspool, IMO. The business of show.

Re: Mariah's personal life (64,058) (64,061) by Mara from United States Fly Like a Bird was written and produced by Big Jim Wright along with Mariah of course. I just wanted to bring that up. I think Big Jim is a great person to work with and not to mention phenomenal piano player. I would not mind Mariah creating another FLAB myself, I don't think he is "too old". You need someone like him if you want that retro feel. I agree she should work with other writers and producers too but I am a fan of Big Jim. (Wednesday 6 July 2016; 21:35)

Re: Physic (64,054) (64,060) by Marissa from USA The issue isn't fans having an opinion about her personal life. The issue is people try to pass off opinions as facts. As long as we remember that there's nothing we know for sure (caps) about her personal life then there's no issue. It's not realistic for fans to be opinionless when she's been stressing her private life, whether it's the jetset lifestyle, James or dem babies more than she's emphasized new music. Mariah puts herself out there for people to have opinions. You can't witness 100 bra reveals, see her in several drunk Snapchat videos and see her entering the same type of long distance relationship that she used to claim was unpleasant to handle and not develop questions about her personal life. If she really wanted a private life then she would make a much greater effort to do so. Mariah has been a "purist" before. Look at 90-95. She knows how to make things all about the music and nothing personal. I think people just don't want to accept that Mariah may actually be enjoying this cheaper form of attention which is celebrity over her craft. (Wednesday 6 July 2016; 19:45)

And you don't remember (64,059) by Giovanni from USA I haven't seen anyone give this song any love on the messageboard before. It's one of my favorite Mariah songs. The music and lyrics are just too good. If only Mariah would go back to this type of song writing. (Wednesday 6 July 2016; 17:41)

Mariah's personal life (64,058) by Giovanni from USA I've never cared for Mariah's personal life. I only care about the music. So I could care less if she marries James or not. I honestly think it's way too soon to get married. Nobody has the right to tell her what to do when it comes to her love life. But I for one wish she would only focus on her voice and music, because that's all most of us fans only care about. I hope she works with a couple of different producers other than just Jermaine and Big Jim Wright. Big Jim is too old. Mariah needs fresh producers that will help her come out with great songs. I wish she would work with Pharell and Happy Perez. And Diane Warren. I'd like more 70's retro and soul with some pop and gospel. Mariah needs another "Fly like a bird". (Wednesday 6 July 2016; 17:28)

Re: Self righteous much? (64,055) (64,057) by Shezz from Pk I think everybody will focus on the music again when she has some new music out. Looks like that'll be a while so we'll all have to just buckle up and steer through the choppy waters of her "personal" life until then. I wish she'd not give in to the social media pressure and have it so much on display for everybody to comment on. But then again I don't know if she is or can control that since it comes from several people now. She's found joy in touring now and is obviously making a good living out of it - much better than her recent albums so I don't blame her for holding out on new music. (Wednesday 6 July 2016; 16:44)

Let's start a list: love and hate (64,056) by RibbonB from USA Love Takes Time, Endless Love, My Love, I'll Be Loving You Long Time, I wanna Know What Love is. I'm throwing Supernatural in the love side because our love is supernatural. Lil. And then there is Hate U. (Wednesday 6 July 2016; 16:41)

Self righteous much? (64,055) by THE TRUTH from USA I'm noticing some self appointed censors and thought-speech police posting. Me I believe in democracy so if you aren't the webmaster then maybe I'm thinking we all have the right to speculate and articulate our opinions. We are all adults aren't we? (Wednesday 6 July 2016; 14:00)

Physic (64,054) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Now everyone on this messageboard has physic abilities and can predict Mariah's happiness, give me a break people, we do not know this woman personally, we only know what the tabloids report or what we see while she's performing or out and about. We don't live with her or in her personal circle, I think we need to stay out of Mariah's personal affairs and focus on the entertainment aspect of things. On another note, if all you do is come here to discuss Mariah's flaws or speak negative about her, go somewhere else with that nonsense as this is a messageboard is where we come to give praise yet constructive criticism. (Wednesday 6 July 2016; 13:21)

Marriage / family / underwear (64,053) by Musti from UK I think we should all keep our noses out of the whole marriage issue. Just like we should have done the same last year when Morgan appeared out of the blue calling Mariah all sorts of things. Family matters are private, and although we all like to think we are her extended family, none of us are her actual family. The only thing we have to go by are her social media pics and tabloid articles. If we start interpreting these, we are no better than the tabloids. Unless the marriage has any bearing on her career itself (like her marriage to Nick destroying the immense potential of E=MC2), I don't see how it's any of our business. Her reasons for choosing Nick and James are her own, not ours. On an unrelated note, I'm still praying for the day when Mariah will take to the stage (or any other public appearance) in full clothing. Kajal, I agree that she used to be more elegant back in the day but we must remember that that was 20+ years ago. I understand the need to be sexy. However I am quite fed up of seeing her in nothing but underwear. It looks desperate. (Wednesday 6 July 2016; 12:39)

Re: JP (64,050) (64,052) by THE TRUTH from USA Sorry to burst the bubble but if you dig a little bit you will see that the one common thread between JD, Da Brat, and Stella is a very dark one and I'm not talking about race. That said, I'd remind everyone that the guiding force behind the 90s Mariah was Tommy Mottola who MJ openly called the devil. What ever Tommy's spiritual predilection was, he had a very clear understanding about how to present a 90s Mariah to a record buying public that was starved for true talent and make it about the voice pure and simple. No pretense, just music. Mariah will not make another great album because she has lost her focus on art. It's all about appearances, celebrity, power, and wealth now. It happens to most super stars, the well runs dry when the love for art is surpassed by obsession with money and celebrity. (Wednesday 6 July 2016; 12:35)

Re: JP (64,048) (64,050) by Kajal from UK- Birmingham Truth, harsh words but so true (excuse the pun) well that is my sentiments exactly. I watched the Essence performance especially [...] and then I saw VOL performance from back in the day which blew me away and then more videos in the 90s era of Mariah and [...]. I know I do talk about this era and her look during this time too much but man was she just so effortlessly beautiful and she [...] in a way which made you get goosebumps. But anyway to cut a long story short Mariah in that era was very simple yet elegant and toned down from make-up to hair to ensembles and she did not bother so much with how she looked during a performance or faffed around in stupid heels or wear over the top gowns and I think now she is more worried about the look which takes away the energy she could use to just chill and sing from the heart (see past performances to see what I mean). She was more into her faith and having real friends that were humble and it was just really beautiful. I mean what happened to Rae Rae and Jasmine's [...]. They all just disappeared. And now we have Stella a complete opposite to what we know Mariah is all about. Oh and it was refreshing to see JD and [...]. Praying they create new 90s magic for next album.

Re: JP (64,048) (64,049) by ADAM from USA Whenever I see pictures of JP and MC together she looks dead behind the eyes and has a smile that looks uncomfortable and fake. I feel like she looks in love and lustful whenever she photographed with Bryan Tanaka vs her own fiancee. I think she's with James for similar reasons to probably why she went with Tommy. Security and a older mature figure. I think Mariah is obsessed with status and wealth and will go to the lengths of even marrying this dude because it makes her look good. She's jet setting so much that she never seems to be alone enough times that she has to worry about being so intimate with James. (Wednesday 6 July 2016; 5:01)

JP (64,048) by THE TRUTH from USA Come on. We all know it's a sham. Complete fakery. Do we really even need to speculate? Lets just hope that she writes some great new songs and doesn't do a spread in Playboy. Somebody please tell her to keep her clothes on and no more lap dances in Vegas or anywhere else. Posing with a glass in your hand also not doing much to revamp the tragically damaged image either. How about taking more pics with a mic or her children instead? Love to see her go back to the formula which won for her in the beginning. She's a vocalist, not a stripper. By the way, the whole Christian thing, don't believe the hype, it's the same as the Venezuelan lie. Completely bogus. (Wednesday 6 July 2016; 1:06)

Re: Essence (64,026) (64,047) by THE TRUTH from USA Nah Breakdown was a monster and an epic collaboration. She broke all the rules and scored huge with that one. Her phrasing on it was masterful. Great songwriting which that was, is about creating something that grabs a listener by the end of the first chorus not something that has to be heard on the radio 20x before hooking the audience.

Thank you (64,046) by Ardis Logic from Earth That's right. I forgot about that. (Wednesday 6 July 2016; 0:06)

Re: 4th of July and sunflowers (64,042) (64,045) by DK from USA Her father passed away on July 4, 2002. (Tuesday 5 July 2016; 22:14)

Re: 4th of July and sunflowers (64,042) (64,044) by B from USA Sunflowers were her fraternal grandmother's favorite flower and when her father got sick they were the only flowers that didn't affect his allegeries. (Tuesday 5 July 2016; 22:11)

Re: 4th of July and sunflowers (64,042) (64,043) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada The sunflowers are in memory of her father Alfred Roy Carey who passed away July 4th. (Tuesday 5 July 2016; 22:01)

4th of July and sunflowers (64,042) by Ardis Logic from Earth What is the significance of MC posing by or wearing sunflowers on the 4th of July? Does anyone know? Just curious. (Tuesday 5 July 2016; 20:14)

Mariah and James (64,041) by Randy from USA I do wonder at this. What makes people get married a third time? I would think after two divorces you would be fine with a common law sort of thing, without the celebration, dress and drama. Especially after you've done it twice. I've never been married so someone please explain to me how people are ok with getting married a third time. In addition, because of the way MC grew up, I assumed she would not trust someone a third time after what she's been through with Tommy and Nick. I gave MC and Nick 7 years because I knew it happened too fast. She was looking for a fun dude and didn't realize that sometimes fun comes with immaturity and indiscretion. I like Nick though, he just wasn't right for her. So she went totally in a different direction and I do believe MC is impulsive so she probably will marry James. I only give this one, two years. I think she's looking for someone the opposite of Nick because of the disappointment. He's not her type, he's just stable and predictable and that's what she thinks she should have now. (Tuesday 5 July 2016; 18:05)

Re: "The wedding will not happen" (64,022) (64,040) by Che from USA Honestly all I want is for MC and Nick to both be truly happy. If she is with James then great. Do I get this overwhelming sense of that? No. But that's just my opinion. I just would hate for her to be getting into a situation to prove a point that in the long run will hurt her far more than proves anything to anyone else. But what does irk me however is those fans who claim Nick cheated when there is no proof of this whatsoever. Nick wasn't married to any old chick and if he had cheated just like far more famous men than him have gotten busted in this day in age of TMZ, tabloids and everybody and their mama with a cellphone you're not telling me that Nick wouldn't have been busted and put on front street with the quickness. Even he's not that good, not to mention the payday that would have come for the tabs, TMZ or whomever exposing him. It would have been huge. (Tuesday 5 July 2016; 17:20)

Re: Self righteous nonsense (64,031) (64,039) by RibbonB from USA I would be very happy if the webmaster kept this subject totally off of this board, because it has never been our business but people insist on tearing down one party in this situation, but not acknowledge that it takes two and that JP ain't perfect. My comment about marriage requiring work is true in general not even specific to Mariah and Nick, and not specific to Christianity. It does seem that she is working hard to make this divorce "work". She even personally commented to Nick on an E interview that she needs him to make this work for the kids, the blending and merging of their family and the people who will be in there lives forever. She forgot that infinity is not forever. She will have to work just as hard to make any marriage work. They might be tired come time for the nuptials what with all this work, touring, travel and "divorcation" as Wendy would say. God bless the children though. Lol. (Tuesday 5 July 2016; 17:15)

Re: "The wedding will not happen" (64,036) (64,038) by Licia from USA How do you know he cheated? You based this whole post on assumptions that were never confirmed. If we are going by her last album, she was upset because he was gone a lot. If you don't like him that's fine, but stop acting as if you know what happened. Furthermore Mariah and Nick are guilty of attention grabbing posts on social media. You all kill me at times. Lol. (Tuesday 5 July 2016; 15:10)
