Sarah and the tea (53,780) by Kate from UK You're spot on about the tea. When people say, "the tea was spilt and it was scalding" the scalding nature of the tea is due to the harsh truth and perhaps leads to a burn. I think "everything you own boy you still owe" is a prime example. (Tuesday 26 May 2015; 20:59)

Her recent past songs (53,779) by Liz Archer from Sweden I don't get why her past albums haven't been more successful? I mean there have been good songs in those albums, like Angels Cry, Bye Bye, I Stay In Love, I Want To Know What Love Is and many other songs, etc. Watching these videos they are actually quite nice. Why haven't they been higher in the charts? (Tuesday 26 May 2015; 20:56)

Re: How much was Damizza paid? (53,773) by Baby from Sweden (53,778) by HeatSeek from Only the gullible will believe that article. The whole thing was a ramble and it wasn't even written well. The person who wrote it may call themselves a journalist. However I'll refer to them as a hack, not a very good one at that either. They need to learn how to cross check facts too, because in what world did he introduce Mariah to Jay Z? Please one false fact and that means the whole article has lost integrity. As mentioned before, timelines mentioned in the article do not add up. Yes, Baby. I absolutely agree with you that there is definitely attempts at cock blocking going on and basically everything else you said too. Discernment in this day and age is a rare gift. Good to see there is someone else on this board who can see the bigger picture and understand that a game of chess is being played here. Hahahah, glad you like the pseudonym.

Bsby (53,777) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Your comment made me giggle because Canada isn't exactly Lamb central either. I have never met other people in my area who consider themselves lambs (unless it has been online) but, since 1990 I have had several friends become fans. Perhaps my influence or MC collection rubbed off on them. (Tuesday 26 May 2015; 19:25)

"Duets album" concept idea (53,776) by Ardis Logic from Earth Seeing M with Olivia was very cool. I wish M would do an album of duets with some of the best singers in the world. We discussed a M and Celine duet the other day would be stunning. I would love to see duets with Olivia and maybe Stevie Wonder, Janet Jackson, Celine, Gloria Estephan, Shakira, Shania Twain, or Sade. It would also be great if the two could write the new song together instead of doing something we have already heard. It would probably take a long time, but in the end I'm sure it would be worth the wait. Who knows might get a new #1 hit for both parties involved. (Tuesday 26 May 2015; 18:19)

Olivia Newton-John (53,775) by Gloria from Hong Kong I don't know they remain friends after the Australian show back in the 90s but it's good to see Mariah hanging out with female singers (not rappers). Maybe a second collaboration will do even better. Plus, I can't remember the last time Mariah shared her stage with a female vocal. That one with Whitney is my all-time favourite. By the way, Daily Mail sends really confusing messages about MC. The recent interview is one of the best I've ever seen, yet their reports were consistently harsh on MC. If I'm not mistaken, MC has a reputation among Aussie fans. She got great reviews and sales there, right? The media people are like sharks, once they smell blood, they will bite and tear every bit of flesh, and there is no stopping. Quoting the news, "The diva has just started her #1 To Infinity residency in Caesars Palace, featuring all of the singer's eighteen US No. 1 hits. But whether she will be able to manage the demanding show up to her final date in February 2016 remains to be seen." What? The first leg didn't count? P.S. You may read the article here.

Bubble (53,774) by Musti from UK I must say I don't find Damizza's words unbelievable (minus the love affair). Particularly the bubble issue is only natural for a global megastar like Mariah. Even then, Mariah has always maintained a true connection to her fans. Perhaps it's this real love and appreciation for her coming from real people that keeps her grounded. After all, pretty much everyone else far below her status which she has befriended over the years (e.g. Damizza, Nick, Kelly Price) has tried to backstab her. How is she supposed to have a "real conversation" with anyone? The only other people who were worthy of her trust are huge celebrities going through similar hardships as her (e.g. Whitney, MJ, Mary J). All things considered, Mariah has done extremely well over the years despite her bubble. She is an excellent songwriter, a very intelligent business woman and has a very engaging sense of humour. You can hardly be any of those if you're completely detached from reality. I pity Damizza for the way he has chosen to reconnect with Mariah, if that's truly what he was trying to do. Now the only connection he will ever have to her is his unrequited love for her. (Tuesday 26 May 2015; 12:18)

Re: How much was Damizza paid? (53,737) by HeatSeek (53,773) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End And who's paying/incentivising him? Surely he doesn't think he has a chance in all the seven hells to get back in to the fold. I feel like the whole thing is a setup and unfortunately any number of fingerprints could be on this, or it could even be a "group effort" so to speak. Next thing you know he's been hired to produce some no-talent goat herder. Otherwise, he could just sue them for slander and defamation or whatever, if he was somehow "misled"? Like stand in your shit every once in a while. Somehow I doubt he will sue though. Meanwhile, Mariah is laying in a litter of fanmail but we are to believe a former confidant/bff/loverboy of her's couldn't get a message through to her if he really needed to? No, he had to relay whatever "misquoted" messages he needed telegrammed all over these e-streets to a known tabloid. Oh, okay, that makes a lot of sense. All this is basically cockblocking tbh. Also, I greatly enjoy your pseudonym. (Tuesday 26 May 2015; 10:09)

Re: Damizza by B (53,772) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End "Poor man he's obsessed. Mariah leaves them stressed. I don't believe they were intimate. They were friends. His timelines don't even match up. Fool. I hope Mariah throws some epic shade his way." B, I read the manuscript of the never-will-be-prospect whenever it came out and it was mired in innuendo. The truth shouldn't be that convoluted an affair. I mean, does he even like the water? Another day another clown. We've all seen how personable M can be, I'm sure a lot of guys read more into her playful nature than they really have a right to. Just like how flirty she was with Michael Strahan when I doubt very much she's even remotely into him at all. But beyond the apparent attention whoring meets smear campaign, am I the only one who sees this as a way to sabotage Mariah's chances of attracting a good calibre male? In the urban dictionary I think the term is better put: "cockblocking". It's very cruel. (Tuesday 26 May 2015; 8:40)

Re: Pinoys and karaoke (53,721) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines (53,771) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Wow. That was a better answer than my question tbh. Thank you so much for being so thorough yet entertaining. Much appreciated. I wonder if even Mariah knows this about one of her strongest Lamb-bases and why she is so popular there. Super interesting read and I'm a bit jealous because Sweden is not exactly Lamb central. People here don't really "Stan" for anyone no matter how popular they get. It's literally an unwritten Norse Law. I wonder what is like to be in a country brimming over with lambs all-a-singing-Careyoke-24/7? *mind blown* (Tuesday 26 May 2015; 7:24)

Tea (53,770) by Sarah from Netherlands Nope. Tea is after you serve somebody with cold hard facts, usually something that they're in denial about. But since it's got nothing to do directly with you, you don't really wanna get involved too much. That's why the full line is "Ain't none of my business, it's tea though." In another context it can mean gossip, but not in Mariah's song. (Tuesday 26 May 2015; 6:47)

Mariah's fan club (53,769) by MeIAmMarie from USA Who knows the address of Mariah's fan club? (Tuesday 26 May 2015; 0:34)

Mariah on Empire (53,768) by Abraham from USA Finally something great. I'm definitely going to be watching. What a more perfect way to drop and promote a new single. Her next one needs be hot. It's time to work with Pharell again Mimi. Hit him up, please. (Monday 25 May 2015; 22:06)

So what's next? / Liz (53,767) by Lara from Middle East Now that the first leg of her residency is over, I think now is the time to drop the new video and promote it. Maybe this is why her team waited that much, not to mention Taylor Swift video could've shadowed hers if it was released earlier. Liz I agree if that article is true (partially probably) it's scary. Although I think a lot changed since then, especially now Mariah has her twins. Still, I think part of that bubble exists and the article about her Disneyland outing is a sign of it. Now come on, where's the video? (Monday 25 May 2015; 21:47)

Re: After July (53,766) by Nick from USA Luis, I think in between the break from July and February she will most likely end up doing a Christmas show again and probably start recording a new album (hopefully ). (Monday 25 May 2015; 20:57)

Re: Billy video clip of 'It's Like That' (53,765) by Ardis Logic from Earth Thank you for sharing that link Billy. That was awesome. If you listen at the end she says. "I love your tattoo, I have one that needs to be altered." (Monday 25 May 2015; 20:47)

Damizza (53,764) by Marissa from USA I'm extremely late to the party about this Damizza story, but I still want to chime in. In a way I wish he went the nasty route because it would have been easier to write him off as a hater. It's these idiots that try to pretend to be the good guy calling out for MC to get help that I can't stand. He's a "gentleman" but revealed that they were intimate (which I do not at all believe)? You don't have to state what sex positions you were in to kiss and tell. Saying that you were intimate is bad enough, especially when you know MC prides herself on being prudish in that way. Has he not been watching her career lately? She's making a turnaround. This isn't the MIAM era anymore. She doesn't need an intervention. Chill. Also, although everyone gives Mariah flack about it, every celebrity is sheltered and removed from reality. Some are just better at projecting a "real" image to the world, but they are still surrounded by bodyguards, assistants, suck-ups, etc. All I can say is Heartbreaker should have been written about (caps) Mariah rather than from her perspective. She has these dudes sprung and they can never move on. (Monday 25 May 2015; 20:45)

Mariah charts 8th in UK album chart (53,763) by John john from UK This is amazing. It's great to see her back in the charts and in stores such as HMV. Very pleased with the result. (Monday 25 May 2015; 20:08)

It's Like That (53,762) by B from USA That was amazing. Her Mariah Carey singing It's Like That and The Roof has made my week. Slay, Mariah.. (Monday 25 May 2015; 18:44)

#1 To Infinity (53,761) by B from USA Another highlight from Mariah's show was My All. The dancer was so talented and so good looking. Mariah sang it similarly to TGIFY. She slayed. Her voice is still amazing. Twenty five year later and she can still sing and she looks half her age. Her face is flawless I don't know why they photoshop her face. (Monday 25 May 2015; 18:36)

Damizza's crap story (53,760) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I wouldn't be concerned about it. He hasn't been in touch with Mariah in over a decade, he has no clue about her personal life anymore. Plus he probably exaggerated a lot of crap. Mariah is a private person, being private doesn't mean she is isolating herself. Plus can one really blame her if she really was isolating herself when she is constantly being sold out to the media by people she once called friends or trusted? Damizza got to know Mariah during a time frame when she was going through a big life change and her career slump during the Glitter era. So I wouldn't be surprised if Mariah really wasn't in socializing mode at that time. However now she is a mother, she is in a good place and her career is still relevant. I am sure she has her life figured out unlike a middle aged man who is irrelevant, immature and sleazy enough to sell out an old friend. Anyways, like I said, he doesn't know about her personal life in over a decade. A lot changes in just a few months and so there is no doubt MC's life has changed a lot in all these years. Plus Damizza himself is now saying he was misquoted. That article is baseless. (Monday 25 May 2015; 16:49)

Tea (53,759) by B from USA According to Urban Dictionary tea is gossip or personal information belonging to someone else, the scoop, news. (Monday 25 May 2015; 15:44)

"My affair with lonely Mariah" (53,758) by Liz Archer from Sweden If this article "My affair with lonely Mariah" is true, I am very concerned. I have been worried about this for a very long time. To be honest, I actually think it might be some "truth" in his story. I have felt for a long time that she is isolating herself. And I understand why or how that would happen. With her fame and all it can happen very easily. But it's a serious thing, it can't be good for her. I know from when I became isolated (due to lost of a main family member) I felt terrible. People are for the most time social people. And there are of course moments when it's nice to be alone. But too much isolation is never a good thing. Maybe this is why I sometimes feel that Mariah feels unreachable. She lives in this bubble that is very unrealistic and unhealthy. I am feeling sad. (Monday 25 May 2015; 11:29)

"It's Like That" live / arrangements (53,757) by Billy from Greece Wow. Did you see the video from the show on the 24th where she sings impromptu some bits of "It's Like That"? It's beautiful. Even with the on-the-spot different arrangement, and thinking also about the fantastic stripped down versions of TGIFY, you just have to wonder about the marvels that MC could bring live if she teased her songs a little bit more. In this video, ITL has a more loungy sound, but it sounds oh so good. That's all she needs. Just slow down the pace a little bit, allow her some extra room (in terms of breathing and comfort) and she'll blow you. (Monday 25 May 2015; 11:29)

Thank God I found you (53,756) by Ty from USA [...] in Vegas is the best full live vocal she has done in years. It is the highlight vocally of her show. Sang with passion and heart. (Monday 25 May 2015; 8:01)
