Lee Daniels stanning for Ms Ross while "Don't Forget About Us" plays in his car stereo (54,478) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End These things make me happy when they are captured on film. Diana Ross just joined Twitter the other night to much applause, M welcomed her of course. I would gag if Mariah and she redid "The Theme from Mahogany". So many are the possibilities when legends collide. (Wednesday 10 June 2015; 10:09)

Thanks Andrew lololol (54,477) by darrian liu from taiwan Lolol somehow I feel flattered you like my post lolol. Yeah, she could train and practice without a camera, but it's better to have an audience. It's different, singing by ourselves and singing in front of people. In front of people, you'll have the pressure to do good and that pressure could be used to encourage her to pick up good habits in her singing and performing. I think that would propel her voice back to form faster than if she takes a hiatus and just practice behind the curtains. (Wednesday 10 June 2015; 9:35)

I still believe (54,476) by yiorgos from Germany , Berlin I was just watching the video again. Perfection. She looks so chic yet super sexy. That body makes up that dress. Perfection. (Wednesday 10 June 2015; 7:08)

Travon (54,475) by Licia from USA Just like you are going to keep it real so are other people. You said this is not high school, but your response wasn't very adult. They have a right to express how they feel. I don't always agree, but it's an open forum and as long as they don't go too far, they are within their right to express themselves. You all are the ones who want everything to be one sided. If it's not all happy and saying Mariah can do no wrong, then in your world the opinion is not valid and people are being [...]. How is that fair? (Wednesday 10 June 2015; 4:27)

Stylist (54,474) by Lee TS from USA I think it's the Wilfredo fellow who's her current stylist. I guess he doubles as a stylist besides designing beautiful jewelry. He's usually seen with a lint roller by her side and tugging and fixing her outfits. With Mariah's latest ensemble I figured she was going to the zoo, you know that's her usual attire to such things lol jk. You can tell when it's usually an Alaia based on the stretchy fabric and fishtail finish. What I am glad though is she ditched the funeral dresses from MIAM era. I want to see more color from her. And it's really great to see her enjoy herself and Dembabies, that's what I want to see. Her being happy, not worrying about a performance or a promo obligation. I have to say Rocky seems to exude more of a diva behavior than Roe, they're the cutest, Mariah's got a handful from Roc alone. (Wednesday 10 June 2015; 3:14)

What's a lamb? (54,473) by Travon..SweetSweetFantasy from USA What saddens me is how quick Mariah Carey fans turn on her for not doing what they want her to do. If anyone should be impatient it's me. I have been following her every day for 10 years. I have seen her good and I have seen her bad. I am proud to say I have never been critical. She is like a sister to me and has gotten me through alot of pain. I had no mom, no dad, and was bullied everyday at school. Her music became an essence in my life. In 2005, she displayed confidece, something I didn't have. She showed me that when no one cares to look inside my heart and not be afraid of who I am. She gave me that fire and that confidence. Her music spoke of love and heartache. Hero got me through everything. I loved the respect she received in 2005 and she wasn't afraid to be free. I felt that when the going gets tough, Mariah made it easier for herself by continuing to fight. I have felt the last few years that she has stopped fighting because her fans are no longer there for her and the media hates her. I apologize if I come across as extremely blunt on this post but I don't want to see our legend go down because of shame. She has always appreciated her fans and talks to us as an extended family. She lets us in to her life, hoping that her fans would understand what she is going through. Collectively as a whole, I feel ashamed to call myself a lamb because Mariah is under tremendous stress and last thing she needs is her lambs saying what people already do on a daily basis.

Re. (54,463) by Andrew from UK (54,472) by G.G. from USA That is exactly why I stopped posting on this board. I don't always agree with everything you post Andrew, but I enjoy reading your well thought out posts. The delusion and arguements on this board gets tiring. (Wednesday 10 June 2015; 1:47)

Randy and Marcus (54,471) by Lamb_O_Chop from Australia So, we're not gonna acknowledge that her voice has been improving a great deal lately? Clearly she's been taking better care of it. As much as you all say she lip syncs (all the hard notes) I'm sure her voice would be in even better condition once she reaches Aretha and Patti's age. Randy although I can totally relate to/understand most of your emotions you go through as a Mariah fan, I just don't think I could be personally be "furious" with Mariah based on career choices. Maybe bothered or hoping she proves the haters and naysayers wrong, but I just feel like she already gave so much and worked twice as hard as her peers in her prime, so my feelings are more empathy than anything regarding her vocal up and downs and state of her career. But that's just me, there's no right or wrong in how you feel. (Wednesday 10 June 2015; 1:41)

(54,468) by B from USA While the [...] graze in a pasture somewhere I'll continue to live in the land of denial where Mariah lords over us while riding a unicorn and sprinkling us with fairy dust. (Wednesday 10 June 2015; 1:11)

Stylist (54,467) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Whoever is dressing Mariah in Paris needs to come back to USA with her. All her outfits so far have been on point and diverse. She covered everything from evening gowns to camouflage jackets. Mariah has the height of a model and a great body. She should be every designer's dream to dress up. I think so far her best fashion moments have been on AI. Those outfits were perfection. I also loved her more casual style during E=MC2 where is was all about the jackets and jeans and what have you. I won't mind if she hangs up the evening mermaid gowns for a while although they do look great on her. (Wednesday 10 June 2015; 0:59)

Butterfly review (54,466) by Kate from UK Just thought this was generally a lovely review. (Wednesday 10 June 2015; 0:53)

10 Songs that prove Mariah Carey is queen of the remix (54,465) by 123 from USA I love this article. I really hope that with the new album she does remixes like she used to ie this article. I felt like she was halfway there with the Beautiful and You're Mine remixes but I'm going to need completely resung vocals and a new video, even if its her at her house a day in the life backstage in Vegas., whatever. How they were able to narrow a list of 10 down I don't know, I love so many of her remixes, even the Spanish ones. I wish she would sing in Spanish again. (Tuesday 9 June 2015; 23:42)

New music soon? (54,464) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Big Jim Wright tweeted that there is new music coming soon. Now I don't know if he is working with some other artist or Mariah, but I hope he means Mariah. I can use a new Mariah summer anthem. Although Mariah is not directly tagged in the post, he did use her name with a hashtag. If new music is on the way I am super excited, if not, I'm fine with waiting until she is ready because I want this time to be super organized. Promo plan set, video shot before song is released, a clear channel deal and maybe a couple of magazine interviews. Whenever you are ready MC. (Tuesday 9 June 2015; 23:08)

Crusades to Unicornicopia (54,463) by Andrew from UK As someone who has received criticism (although sometimes just) and abuse from many on this board, I know how it can be. There is a group of about 6-10 people who slap each other on the back and praise each other in their Mariah-religious orthodoxy ("thank you for insulting that person, girlfriend" etc.) who essentially now control everything here. Admittedly, there are some people here who are really thoughtful (I liked the response about Mariah's voice and the reason for not resting it, although I think Mariah can sing her voice back to strength without a camera aimed at her) who I shan't name for fear of hypocrisy. I remember a lot of interesting straight-talking people who used to post here who have now [...] off. Not because there's "nothing to complain about" but because, ostensibly, it has become a place where you either tow the party-political line (ie. live in the CTTA cover artwork) or get lynched. Anyone remember Stephen M from London? There are so many people who were interesting to read who dont bother anymore. Just a hotbed of people who see Mariah as their crusade. To those persons I would say this: I, and others, love Mariah, even if you do not like the way we do it nor openly admit the same worries and concerns. You do not have dominion over Mariah-fandom because you consider yourself more worthy, and you do not get to banish people from the kingdom just because they argue vehemently whenever you declare that there are unicorns in it. (Tuesday 9 June 2015; 22:31)

Randy (54,462) by Marcus from Brazil Randy, there is not blinder man than the one who refuses to see. Everything you said in your last post was spot on. At this rate, being only 45, what will be left when she reaches Patti's or Barbra's age? Mariah has been criticized, but one thing she always had to shut down her critics was quality music and great delivery. She didn't have to use smoke and mirrors to mask anything, you either loved her or hated her, but either way she was the lady that would take a mike and sing. I think in her mind she thinks that the whistle register will keep saving the day, but she's used it so much that it has lost its "wow" effect on people. I hope she keeps improving and taking care of her voice because at this rate if she doesn't do something about it, in five years she'll be sounding like "Minnie Mouse on helium". I do pray for a miracle. (Tuesday 9 June 2015; 21:34)

Fashion-Riah (54,461) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mama Mariah bringing in the edgy look. Love the black fur shrug. Very black swan, and very edgy. I also love the side pony tail. She is doing a lot of different hairstyles. Fingers crossed we get a leather jacket look next. I love how Mariah rocked a lot of different colored jackets in 2008. She looked gorgeous in each and every color she wore the pink, the gold, yellow/mustard. (Tuesday 9 June 2015; 21:15)

One Sweet Day article (54,460) by Manny from U.S. I read the article about OSD, which is in this website's news section. Did the author just refer to it as an AIDS song? "A mix of megastar Mariah Carey, mega-group Boyz II Men, and lyrics about how undeniably sad the AIDS epidemic is, 'One Sweet Day' is like one of those movies that seem written just to get a Best Picture Oscar." Mariah said it was about the death of a friend, I'm not sure if it was David Cole. She never mentioned it was about AIDS though. I always figured he was gay and maybe he did die from complications of AIDS. There's nothing wrong with that, but it seems this article is 1) not true 2) written more to stigmatize the AIDS "epidemic". It bothers me how these professional writers twist the truth and make the readers believe the inspiration of this song. It's a sad way to sell their work. (Tuesday 9 June 2015; 21:11)

Letter to this messageboard (54,459) by Travon..SweetSweetFantasy from USA Everyone needs to stop attacking B. I was the one who elaborated in detail what I felt she meant. I took it further by agreeing with her in much more detail. That detail has led to everyone attacking B. B kept it simple and stated how she felt (opinion) and now you want to butcher her. It's not attacking or an insult if the opposed has tendencies to overact and reciprocate insults all the time. This is not high school people. Always acting critical on an open post will never end positively if the comments are one sided and that is what I believed B meant. You're upset B called you a [...] but you are the first ones to agree with tabloids and what other non-fans believe. The critical lambs are usually the first to agree to negativity and will complain about how fat Mariah looks, her kids need help because their mother can't take care of them, Mariah Carey does drug because a unreliable tabloid says so, she needs to retire, she is a has been because everyone thinks it, she is an alcoholic because she drinks alcohol, Vegas will never work for her, her album flopped despite all albums flopping, and that she hates her lambs because she didn't sing your songs. That energy is what is irritating to the lambs that are not trying to argue or be negative. Instead of moving on, the critical lambs feel they need to throw someone under the bus and act like Jesus. However, I will always be keeping it real and will say what needs to be said. This messageboard needs level minded individuals. (Tuesday 9 June 2015; 20:13)

If you can't quote it, it didn't happen, with all due respect (54,456) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End You can't even stick to a simple promise you made that, BTW, no one asked of you in the first place, that you weren't going to write another post directed at me. You fail even yourself. Let me show you how it's done: "The all knowing poster (54,376). A certain poster here acting like their own nick name think they are all that, oh well, I guess we have now seen all kinds of locos. 'Predicting' (and failing) things that were supposed to happen (right after the BBMAs performance was it?), shooting down almost anyone who dares to say a single negative thing, pretending they can sense (and failing) what's coming out in the near future, when clearly it's a whole lot of bullshit that their mind has conjured. It's one thing to be a good fan but to think they are the only real fans on this board or the world is stupid. Get help darling. I wouldn't be writing this post because I don't believe in being rude to people and slinging mud, every person with whom I disagreed with, I have at one point or the other apologized to because I really do appreciate different views coming in. But someone here think they are royalty and everyone else are peasants. They are delusional enough to think their opinions are facts and they know exactly what's going on. Someone here almost thinks they are Mariah themselves. Come back to reality honey. You are really just making a joke out of yourself." That's you starting shit. Obviously you can't quote me because "I didn't start shit", with all due respect. (Tuesday 9 June 2015; 19:41)

Fantasy (54,455) by Zachary from Croatia I just got the Greatest Hits copy and I started to listen Fantasy and I noticed that it sounds differently, that is, it's like ODB remix and original Fantasy are combined together. I know how the original songs sounds (without the remix) and with ODB, but I never heard this version. I was so surprised and happy. (Tuesday 9 June 2015; 19:16)

Marcus (54,454) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Yes I am from Asia, not from Phillipines. I am just letting Miss Delusional think whatever the crap she thinks. Obama Care comments won't apeopley to me ever, but obviously we all know what she wanted to be mean when she said those. Let me just say this, I am a dedicated Mariah fan. I have many a times defended her against many others but I put facts there instead of trying to demean the other person or resort to personal insults. I don't think everyone that disagrees with Mariah's actions are on a pay roll to bring down Mariah. People have different opinions. Miss Delusional I see now thinks that my comments about MC and L.A. will cause a rift in their relation. If their bond is so strong, I don't think a random post from me is going to bring a storm. Not everyone is delusional like Child. Plus I have time and again said "maybe" or "I am not sure how true it is" regarding those comments. If she fails to comprehend that then clearly she is the one who can't read English. Not me. Anyways, I hate to talk like this about anyone, but sometimes a drama queen needs to be addressed. (Tuesday 9 June 2015; 18:49)

B on behalf of those you call negative (54,453) by Randy from USA I never said MC needs to lose weight. That's a battle no one wins. Oprah has given up, Kelly Clarkson has given up and even I have gained a ton of weight since my breakup in May of 2013. My last post was a simple logical question: if Mariah is straining to hit notes and sounds incredibly cringeworthy at times, and she is 45 years old with 25 years in the game, shouldn't she take a break or start singing songs that are simple like Right To Dream or Languishing because she has 25 years more to go before she is Patti's and Aretha's age. What will she sound like then at the current rate of deterioration and difficulty? I don't think that's disrespectful or negative. I have gone through many emotions with MC over the years. I have been enamored, at times indifferent, a few years ago post GMA Touch My Body I was furious with her. These days it's worse. I look at LA Reid and JD's comments. I look at her live performances. I look at her personal relationships. I look at the music and videos she's putting out and I feel worst than anger. I feel pity. And if you guys want to know why myself, Andrew or whosoever you all think are critical of her it is because everyonce in a while there's a distant glimmer of hope. We all love MC and she has impacted our lives tremendously but to see her legacy being threatened due to very poor choices, we feel we have to speak up. P.S thanks for the compliment. (Tuesday 9 June 2015; 18:32)

Paranoia (54,452) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha anyone is welcome to see our track record and see who fired at whom first. Calling people names. Acting like a [...] with attitude problems. Thinking they are so important that people "pre-plan" attacks on them. Thinking they are being Mariah when they throw "shade" but Mariah doesn't get nasty, she shades with class. She doesn't resort to personal insults. If I had to attack anyone in an anti-Mariah campaign it would be Shelly or B or Lamb_O_Chop among others. People who genuinely support Mariah and stick to their opinions while not getting dirty with others. I only consider you to be a spiteful person who takes out their inferiority complex by bashing others and getting nasty. Why is it such a problem that I zeroed in on one of your posts when you are doing the same to me? You are also zero-ing in on one of my posts which wasn't even offensive towards Mariah. L.A. Reid, is that you? You are so paranoid that you think everyone is coming for you. When I used to write to you before, those were genuine messages with no hidden meanings. Stop being so paranoid. You are not that important that people are trying to take you down. Don't you dare ever try to tell me how I should feel about Mariah. (Tuesday 9 June 2015; 18:30)

Mimi L. from (54,451) by Marcus from Brazil Mimi L., didn't you say you were from the Philippines or another Asian country? If it is so, your Obama Care won't ever kick in. I think you and Shelly are very sweet people. Your posts are usually balanced leaning more to the positive, but nonetheless never borderline delusional. If there are two posters here bullies shouldn't pick on is you and Shelly. Remember that bullies cook in their own oil when their targets fight back, and I think she got the wrong one with you. I'm pretty sure you'll end up in their "Burn Book", but oh well, as long as they don't write "you're a pusher" or that "you made out with a hotdog", I think everything will be fine.

To HeatSeek on checking my facts (54,450) by Amber C from USA It is common knowledge that Tommy left Sony at one point dahling. My quote came directly from Billboard on a passage from his book. Please get the gist of a comment before you retort back. I hope it doesn't bother anyone on this sight if I leave this here. Go read the Mariah chapter, it's everything. It's Damien "Damizza's autobiography" from 2011 I believe. This guy is not the villain we want to believe heads. The book also contains a few Mariah photos I have never seen before.
