Really (40,383) by Blake from USA Lashonda, you said a mouth full, but it was a little harsh with ending on pow. Really! Yes, we all know what you are saying with her age and being a mom. You didn't provide anything new darling. George nailed it on the head though. Another single really? Just release the album. Unless she worked with Teddy Redder, it's not likely to be a hit and Mariah's team is clueless. Jus saying. If this album gets pushed back once again, I am done with the thought of it coming out. If only Mariah could reinvent and accomplish what Beyonce did but in a new way. Then we use pow. (Friday 3 January 2014; 16:40)

New album (40,382) by George Golden from UK Another single? Please. What happens then if it is not well received? She then abandons it and everyone throws a tantrum. Mariah should move with the times and realise that her name alone will not sell a song. She needs to reinvent herself and that's the beauty of rnb, you can have it mixed with rock, jazz, funk, dance. That's right, dance music. She should revamp her image and create a stir. New hairstyle, new stylist, new management and not employ her friends because it is really bad for her business obviously. I don't understand those fans that say all is well when it clearly isn't. If we as fans do not see this, then there is a problem. You can keep doing the same thing and expect a different result. Just drop the album. No more upfront singles, no more over the top "trying to be sexy" videos. It's really dead and gone at this piont. (Friday 3 January 2014; 15:56)

Give it a rest (40,381) by lashonda collins from usa I rarely post here like I did years ago. However I do visit almost everyday and check the news. The messageboard is something I dread looking at now. Webmaster, I hope you post this without editing. The majority of you are just being selfish and ungreatful. The days of Mariah dropping an album every 2-3 years is over. Hush up and just enjoy the catalouge of music that she has left us because it's 23 years worth and it's alot. She has worked like nobody's business to keep you all satisfied, but you can't beat Father Time, he always wins. Mariah has a family now. Any mother will tell you if they are doing their jobs correctly that family comes first. You guys constantly nag/complain about the quality of her voice. Well guess what? She's not 19 anymore. Getting older/changing/aging are all real factors, yes even for her. She's put out four or five singles to feed her hungry extended family (lambs) over the past year and you guys complained about that. The quality of her voice is always a big topic. Well, she wore those pipes out for you for the past quarter of a century. Not for nothing but I think her body of work should be praised. She ages backwards, she gets better with time and the voice is still there. For the really young folk on here, rack up on all the music and I promise you it's enough to keep you happy for the rest of your life. Peace. Pow. (Friday 3 January 2014; 15:43)

Fans' support (40,380) by Garry from Philippines We all love Mariah. She gave us 3 different types of ballads that true fans want to hear: Almost Home, The Art Of Letting Go, and Bring It On Home. Have we supported her enough? The YouTubes views and the singles' sales are low compared to other artists. (Friday 3 January 2014; 11:28)

Tired (40,379) by David from Spain I'm tired, Mariah promises and doesn't fulfill. (Friday 3 January 2014; 10:17)

New album (40,378) by 123 from USA I am excited that she is finally releasing her new album and we are getting a new song on V day, hopefully a love song/ballad. I'm hoping we are going to get jazz/soul styled ballads and hip/hop uptempos. I can't wait to see if she covered Lullaby Of Birdland, if her impromptu performance at Bemelmans Bar in 2012 is any indication, she is going to bring it! She took her time and even took advantage of the time her injury granted her and added three new songs. I'm positive this album is going to satisfy what I've been waiting for a long time. I'm sure it will be worth the wait. (Friday 3 January 2014; 2:05)

Bill / NYE performance (40,377) by Edward from USA Bill, the NYE performance wasn't lipped, but it was dubbed. I loved it though. I loved the way the songs transitioned in the medley, way more polished than American Idol performance. As for TAOLG, she left a verse out, it is not the fist time she's done it. I also think she didn't want to be overdramatic on a celebration night. Some people don't notice the dubbing because Mariah doesn't enhanced the recording to sound perfect, she polishes it just enough. The Fantasy at Madison Squared Garden was completly dubbed, even though I don't know why, since she sounded amazing that night. I didn't want to believe it until I found the raw recording on the YouTube. (Friday 3 January 2014; 0:22)

NYE performance (40,376) by Bill from the UK Happy New Year to each and every one of you. I hope it brings you peace and happiness. It's nice to read the comments about Mariah's performance of TAOLG on NYE but, forgive me, but wasn't this performance lipped? I don't believe this was 100% live. (Thursday 2 January 2014; 23:56)

Dav / new album tracklist (40,375) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Dav, maybe you haven't noticed but many people on the board did talk about the NYE performance and everyone praised her vocals. Wasn't there a track list circulating for TAOLG? Although it could be fake, but the songs TAOLG and a duet with Stevie was listed on it. Although now Mariah maybe have replaced some of those tracks with newer songs. 14th February, I can't wait! Also I hope the album follows soon after. (Thursday 2 January 2014; 21:16)

Property Virgins (40,374) by TJ from Norway I was just watching this show, Property Virgins on TV, where Matthew (a big time Mariah fan, probably a lamb) and Maurie were buying an apartment in Toronto. Anyway, his love for Mariah was so cute! Out loud and proud. I sometimes hide my love for MC, thinking that I'm too old for this, but it reminded me that I should not care. (Thursday 2 January 2014; 19:37)

The weather (40,373) by Lamb_O_Chop from Australia She also sung a much slower song, took her time, had proper breath control, and was more prepared. She never said the weather was the "only" factor that affected her voice (in which if you don't take necessary precautions it can affect your voice), but I also cited many other factor aswell, and also mentioned when she's properly rested and recuperated that she can still give a great performance. So you still can't say the weather, tempo, breath control, and fragility of her voice had nothing to do with that performance being bad. Nevertheless I'm glad she preserved this go round. Great job Mimi! (Thursday 2 January 2014; 17:10)

Cold weather and Mariah's voice (40,372) by Lee from UK I find it fascinating that even though it looked a lot colder during her NYE performance than it did during the National Tree Lighting Ceremony, Mariah's voice managed to prevail and sound just find. What I am trying to say is a big fat "I told you so" to all of those people on here who cited the "cold weather" as a reason for Mariah sounding crap during the Tree Lighting. Mariah doesn't need your unfounded excuses. (Thursday 2 January 2014; 14:08)

New Year's Eve performance (40,371) by Lainsky from Philippines Well I guess she nailed it very well, especially with her performance with "The Art of Letting Go". What a good way to start the new year for her, so let's all hope this single will get notice the way it deserves and the new album will be really out soon as in soon like this month! (Thursday 2 January 2014; 11:21)

NYE (40,370) by Dav from Ireland The NYE performance was amazing. MC in top form. I'm amazed no one on this board is referencing it. I find it ridiculous that people are comenting on her mental state. rained doctors would need to access someone for a year to come up with the conclusions you guys are. Lighten up guys. Bring on the new album. (Thursday 2 January 2014; 10:44)

Mariah's behaviour (40,369) by Alex from England I find it strange that people keep raising concerns about anything and everything. When we don't have the "does she still have the voice?" argument, we're talking about her mental well-being. Oh well, in 1999 people were calling her crazy because she was having fun doing her little Bianca thing, in 2001 she was crazy because she overworked herself to the ground. 13 years later she has a mental problem because she is rambling, not answering questions directly and having fun. Oops, I almost forgot that she is "a heavy drinker". I can understand if some people are concerned or whatever, like any other lamb, I wish Mariah happiness and success. But I think it is taking it a bit too far to say that she has a mental condition. On my end, what I have noticed is that she speaks her mind a bit more openly actually (the label, American Idol) and I like it. You know, we see Mariah in an interview or wherever else with a glass of bubly and people say she drinks a lot. The truth is that it's only 10 minutes out of 24 hours. Even if she has 1 or 2 glasses of wine everyday she's not he first, not the last. I'm actually on my second Martini as I write this, I hope I'm not rambling too much or sounding like I have a mental illness. Oh well, maybe some people will start writing about something positive for a change. There's a difference between stating that one thinks she is rambling and saying she has a mental problem.

[...] (40,368) by robert caporusso from PA Hey lambs, I just wanted to wish all a happy and healthy new year. As far as the ongoing talk/debate about miss Mimi losing her voice and talent, that's silly. She is [...] and not to mention [...] I know we all want her to put out more more more, but she has given so much already. She deserves to take all the time she needs. She has a life outside of music too. [...] If she never records another song, I will be ok with that, knowing that she has given so much already. Peace. (Thursday 2 January 2014; 2:26)

Hannah (40,367) by clueey23 from USA I do feel like Tommy was her handler and I do believe that she began to wake up out of her programming and saw that what she thought was real love was not. But I feel that she has been working really hard to move past all of the manipulation and mess that's she's experienced through the years. I see light in Mariah's eyes! A lot of stars seem really dead in the eyes. Like they're just a shell of their former selves. I just see MC aging gracefully in an industry that can be a really scary place at times. I actually said that the media controls how we actually see celebrities. Smoke and mirrors. Mk Ultra mind control is real. And we saw MC go through a lot back in 2001 based on what happened in prior years. Not to mention a rough childhood. But until I see MC like a zombie just blankly not able to answer any questions and look really uncomfortable, i.e. Britney Spears in interviews, I'm not gonna worry about her mental health. I also don't think MC is a horrible alcoholic that's unable to function without handlers. (Thursday 2 January 2014; 1:13)

Correction (40,366) by clueey23 from USA I meant organic and not manufactured, from my last post. (Thursday 2 January 2014; 0:59)

Gloves (40,365) by Paul D from USA Why has Mariah been wearing gloves the past two months? I thought she was healed from that injury. (Thursday 2 January 2014; 0:11)

Hannah chops (40,364) by Lamb_O_Chop from Australia She drinks wine sweetie, not hard liquor or booze. I know many people who ramble that don't drink, who's not depressed, or have expressed having anxiety. Besides we all have stressful or anxiety-esque moments in life, so that doesnt necessarily mean she has a problem. Mariah has always deflected certain questions in interviews, that's something I've always noticed, but to say she doesn't answer any questions straight on is an exagereation. I will acknowledge that fame definitely takes a toll on celebrities and many if not all have to find ways to cope, but Mariah has been handling things well IMO; considering everything she's been through. She a very hands on Mother, she's constantly creating/recording music and working in the studio, so her cognitive state doesn't seem to be as "troubled" as some are speculating. But if you say you're genuinely concerned and you're coming from a good place then great; keep her in your prayers and wish her well, but leave the shots and sly remarks on the back burner. Unless you just want to come across all wrong. (Thursday 2 January 2014; 0:06)

NYE (40,363) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Blown away by the performance. Mariah looked stunning. She must have been freezing though, poor MC. but oh well we know she'll do anything to be festive and super glamorous. I loved the little impromptu speech before TAOLG, so cute. The performance was great, no overtly touching herself, no unnecessary movements, just standing there being awesome, the signature hand movements, and the sexy leather gloves. I love that MC is making leather/satin gloves her new fashion statement. She sang the hell out of her old smash hits, it can be argued that it was dubbed or pre-recorded, but honestly how can anyone expect a person to sing completely live in such cold weather. Super excited about the Valentine's Day single release announcement. Still over a month. Can I wait? For MC I will. (Wednesday 1 January 2014; 23:33)

Also dear Cluey (40,362) by Hana from UK I have read your previous post where you claim Mariah is under MK Ultra/monarch programming and suggest that people who questions her mental health needs fixing up within themselves. Sense of irony in that. Even if she broke away from her "programming" does not mean she has a clean bill of mental health. Even more reason a fan would worry, you don't have to know somebody or deal with them directly to have a soft spot or genuine concern about their life if they have had an a major impact or added some aspect of meaning into your very own life. (Wednesday 1 January 2014; 23:14)

Cluey get a clue (40,361) by Hana from UK Mariah is a human being before an artist. And from one human being to another some of us aren't content with just being awe struck with her, or praise every little single execution she makes. My posts are a hopeful attempt to draw attention to her well being to the people who supposedly should be looking after her e.g. her handlers/Nick whoever and to get them to look after her before it's too late, there is only one Mariah Carey. Why is that so bad? So what if it's speculation? It comes from good intentions. Happy New Year! (Wednesday 1 January 2014; 22:40)

Lambchops (40,360) by Hana from UK Rambling may be one of the major tell tale signs that a person might be suffering from mental illness, stress or depression, so don't underestimate the theory. It's no secret that Mariah is a heavy drinker, this has not only affected her vocals but I believe also her ability to process information. She jumps from one topic to another, and heavy drinking can cause severe mental/cognitive impairment in a person if they are not careful. I work in mental health and I have to help so many people who come across like Mariah who can't socialise or present themselves to the world without alcohol. This may not necessarily mean one has a drinking problem. However in many cases the person suffers from a condition like anxiety and depression and simply cannot cope without alcohol. And when they are off their medication/booze they appear troubled and exhibit many of those tell tale symptoms I highlighted. At the end of the day alcohol isn't good for her voice, and it most definitely impacts on her behavior in a negative light. Again this is my opinion, you are entitled to believe i n what you want, ponder over what you want and comment on what you care most about. (Wednesday 1 January 2014; 22:29)

Just saying (40,359) by clueey23 from USA I think it's sad when people, fans, lambs judge art. Art isn't meant to be judged. Especially if it's organic and manufactured. (Wednesday 1 January 2014; 21:37)
