Happy New Year (40,339) by Gerald from USA by the way of NYC Just wishing the entire Archives family world wide a blessed, productive, and peaceful 2014. As for all bickering over Mariah and her mental health among other things, I will that nonsense in 2013 with all the other foolishness. (Tuesday 31 December 2013; 12:20)

Mariah's "real" fans (40,338) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Some people here think that real Mariah fans can't say anything negative or critical about her. Anyone who will dare criticize MC will be attacked. That's silly. We are all on this board because we love MC, and if here and there some of us do worry about her recent activities, it's only because we care about her. I've said this before, the excuse of Mariah concentrating on her kids doesn't really cut it for me. Like Edward said, there are plenty of women working multiple jobs, while still taking care of their family. Mariah isn't the only one in show business who got married and has kids. Look at Beyonce, Britney, Angelina Jolie and many others. Someone here indirectly insulted me, when in a previous post I mentioned how Beyonce had Blue after Mariah and still released 2 CDs and went on tour. Mariah definitely has nannies and Nick to occasionally take care of the kids, she had 4 years to come up with a 12-15 track CD. I still stand by the fact that Mariah is acting weird during her interviews and it's not just her playful side. She keeps going off track and the host keeps trying to steer her back into track but she doesn't listen. Like Fallon, he kept asking about TAOLG and she kept naming her dogs, the interview ended with us getting zero info on the track and much info about her dogs and cleavage. Same with the Christmas interview at her home, she rambling and at one point the host was like "Marian hold up". I do genuinely care about MC and I hope she gets her act together.

MC Summer 2012 / MC723 (40,337) by Daydream327 from USA I completely agree Edward. I think it's ridiculous to question somebody's devotion to Mariah just because they have an opinion. I feel as fans we have the right to share our opinions. It's not like anybody is being disrespectful in any way. Besides if the fans don't speak out, who will? We all know how Mariah's team is. Truth is, we are all just frustrated with the way things are going. It's hard for fans to admit that Mariah's career is indeed fading. We don't want to accept it. All that hype and anticipation was for what exactly? It's a shame. I would have appreciated if she didn't release anything at all until everything was right but instead she kept giving us album dates, only to tweet and say it won't be released on 7/23. And I still have yet to be blown away by any of the singles released. All that time recording and you come back with Triumphant? Come on Mariah, you're a legend, ugh. This era has been nothing but a mess. I think it can only get better at this point, or at least I hope. (Tuesday 31 December 2013; 9:20)

Edward (40,336) by Jenny from South Africa Calling people fanatics is also name calling and that light a candle part was clearly meant as an insult so I think the crux of your message which was actually a good message, kinda got lost in you're insulting other people yourself. And didn't you dismiss the opinions of the people who said she is busy with her family in your second message? Just my observations. Maybe I misinterpreted your messages. Anyway I see why some people don't enjoy her interviews, but personally I think she just has a playful personality. (Tuesday 31 December 2013; 7:17)

Calm down (40,335) by B from USA Mariah isn't stupid. She knows she needs a hit. I loved #Beautiful. It was a great R&B song and It peaked at #3 on the R&B chart. She'll bring it. (Tuesday 31 December 2013; 6:02)

New year's special (40,333) by Jeremey Carey from United States Will the new year's show air live? Or will it be prerecorded? (Tuesday 31 December 2013; 5:25)

What's really ridiculous (40,332) by Matthew from USA So fan #1 says that they think Mariah is mentally unstable because of some interviews she did. Then fan #2 responds that they think Mariah is just fine because her instagram is cuteness to the tenth power. Then fan #3 says that fan #2 is just a fanatic who refuses to agree with any bad thing said about Mariah. Hmm. So I guess I will be fan #4, the one who thinks both fan #1 and fan #2 have the right to disagree, and fan #3 is just trying to start beef. (Tuesday 31 December 2013; 5:18)

Edward (40,331) by Will from Australia Well said Edward! It really drains on me how the know it alls come on here and try control what the fans say about Mariah when they're just expressing opinions. They say a heap load of stuff that I laugh at because it's ridiculous but I move on from it as it is just your opinion. Happy new year everybody! (Tuesday 31 December 2013; 1:41)

It's been 4 years, and Arianna didn't do it for me! (40,330) by Edward from USA And for those of you who keep using the excuse that Mariah now have twins and a husband, well, there are many women out there who have it worse than Mariah. They have to work two jobs, they don't have money to pay a nanny, and they might or might not have husband, yet they still function. Mariah has luxury to have a studio at home, the money to hire a help when she needs it, the money to take a vacation when she needs it. Those who keep saying she doesn't have a nanny must be out of their minds. It's been four years since Mariah released an album, yet some fans excuse her because she now has a family and she must work so hard cleaning her apartment, cooking for Nick, for the kids, change their diapers, and then go to work, that she hasn't have time to for anything. I don't' think Mariah's heart is as much in music as it once was, and that's ok, people move on. I just hope she releases a great last album at least, it has been four years and I'm getting frustrated. (Tuesday 31 December 2013; 0:20)

Name calling again, really? (40,329) by Edward from USA Many people here have to understand that fans are individuals, and just because they don't light up a candle to Mariah every night and pray to her so that she makes dreams come true doesn't mean they are less of fans. Many fans have expressed concern about Mariah state of mind due to things they have observed according to their own opinion. Well, I don't see why they have to hold their tongues so that some fanatics can feel happy here. I like the fact that here we can discuss anything Mariah without being disrespectful, but every once in a while three or four fanatics come here calling people names just because they saw an opinion they believed didn't agree with their own opinion. Well, opinions are like the ass/arse, we all have one, so if you don't like a post, don't read it. Stop calling people names just because they express their opinion whether it is about Mariah state of mind or Mariah's voice. It is an opinion at the end. It is ok to not agree with an opinion expressed here, but to completely dismiss it because you think yours is better is plain stupid. Chillax, and keep on posting, I rather read different opinions, than going through another Mariah playlist, favorite songs, etc. (Monday 30 December 2013; 23:57)

Mariah's interviews (40,328) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada I really don't see much difference between the recent interviews and the ones earlier like Ellen when she bought her a nightie and slippers and was showing Ellen how she dabs perfume (with Forever) or when she was on Live in her robe with a stuffed animal ect ect ect I thought both recent interviews on Today and Watch What Happens Live was just Mariah being a goof ball. *shrug* I think there is stuff going on behind the scenes with the label - that's pretty blatant. But, I'm personally not concerned about her mental state. It seems to me, the "rambling" people mention is simply Mariah's way of goofing off, being like a kid, and not taking things so seriously. My mom knows I love MC for example and she loves her voice, but she can't stand how she talks in interviews. Lol Maybe it just rubs some people the wrong way and that's fine. I'm not seeing any major cause for alarm though. JMO. (Monday 30 December 2013; 23:55)

Settle down (40,327) by Matthew from USA All you lambs need to do is head over to Mariah's instagram to see that everything is happy and healthy in her personal life. So you guys need to stop. If Mimi gets angry or depressed about something, the lambs are usually the first to know (voicemails, angry TAOLG rant). As for the repetitive interviews, it's true. But that's always been the case with Mariah. She finds her talking points and sticks to it. If they bring up her injury, she will says she really doesn't want to make a big deal out of it but it was a big deal. The pregnancy: she really doesn't want to make a big deal out of it, but she had eclempsia. The album: she is working on it. American Idol: she thought it would be 3 judges. Eminem: M&Ms. Twins: It's harder than giving birth to one and she won't be having any more. Rinse and repeat. It would really take a few splashes and an interviewer she is really comfortable with for her to deviate from the canned answers. It might also help if the interviewers stopped asking the same canned questions. (Monday 30 December 2013; 22:01)

Depressing pack of lambs (40,324) by Lamb_O_Chop from Australia What's new here? Please chill all the way out, the women are busy crafting a great new album and putting their family first. You guys kill me with you loosely based unfounded assumptions about someone's mental health. If you're that concerned just pray and support her. I'm beyond tired of the negativity that stems from boredom. Find another hobby instead of constantly picking these women apart for no good reason. (Monday 30 December 2013; 17:31)

Mental state (40,323) by Daydream327 from USA I think at this point we are pretty much used to Mariah's crazy fun personality, which I love. But I just think nowadays for some reason she takes her antics to the extreme to the point where she gets a little annoying. Her interviews have become very repetitive, she's not really answering the questions fans want to hear. We're just kinda left out in the blue. I love MC to death, but I have to agree something is just not right, not sure what it is but something is going on. Label problems? Personal? We may never know but she just doesn't seem as passionate about her art as she once was. TAOLG was good, but I expected something way better given that she's had so much time to record. Also expected something more lyrically in depth. This is the biggest gap between an album. You would think after having babies, Nick's health scare ect, she would be so inspired to create her best work yet. Idk but it makes me concerned as a fan. I just hope she's okay. (Monday 30 December 2013; 13:36)

Worried (40,322) by Liz Archer from Sweden I am worried for Mariah, releasing singles very randomly (doesn't seem very wise) and she seems not very focused in interviews. I hope all is well. She should do as Beyonce, releasing the whole album plus video to all songs at once. (Monday 30 December 2013; 11:10)

Really? (40,321) by Tony from Ireland Is this a lamb's page or a "I don't make any sense with my comments" page? I mean, shouldn't we be celebrating Mariah's art? Since she dropped TAOLG some people are questioning her mental state, or how she should behave and it sucks. First time I was reading other lambs in here I was so happy to find a place where I was able to speak and share my opinions in a very respectable way, but since a couple of months ago, almost all I can read is very disappointed. What is going on with music lovers? Just because somebody is showing her fun side or speaking her mind out is an indication that she has mental problems? Or that she is abusing or using substances? Give me a break. That makes me think if they are real lambs. It is not about to agree with everything MC does, it is about being respectful with all of us, with her. Peace and love.

Mental state (40,320) by clueey23 from USA Who are you to question someone's mental state? I don't think you guys get it, back in the 90s MC was like a slave in the industry who really showed very little personality until maybe 97 and still then was very much controlled. I think she is a glamorous grown wife and mother who is able to finally be somewhat of herself. Period. And I love MCs vocals from the 90s but she sounded like a kid because she was a kid. She sounds way more mature vocally. And to be frank she can do things now with her voice that she wasn't able to do back then. I say, if you're worried or concerned about someone's, whom you don't even know mental state, you need to go see a physician about that. That's a serious issue that you need to fix within your own self. But honestly, MK ultra mind control is real. And what we saw back in 2001 was MC break away and breakdown from her programming. That's why I cried during her impromptu performance for the fans earlier this year. Basically, singing and laughing about the person filming her "bad side". That's why MC still to this day says she struggles with insecurities. The music and film industries are scary places. Think about Britney, MJ, Whitney Houston and even Amanda Bynes and many more celebrities that have basically sacrificed themselves for money and their art and fans. Media controls your thought processes and how these people appear to the public. I don't believe anything on tv or in entertainment for that simple fact. Smoke and mirrors guys.

Mariah's mental state (40,319) by Jimbo from UK Record label issues, post-natal depression, marital problems, substance abuse, who knows, we won't ever know. I just hope she has a strong support network. (Sunday 29 December 2013; 15:33)

Mariah's mental state (40,318) by Martyn from England, UK I have to agree. Something doesn't seem quite right at the moment. Mariah seems preoccupied/confused. I think there's stuff going on behind the scenes (at the label) that we don't know about. I'm just glad she has Nick and the twins. I really hope she's okay. (Sunday 29 December 2013; 14:34)

Mariah's mental state (40,317) by Jimbo from UK I worry about MC. She comes across as unstable and rambling in interviews, and this is reminiscent of the Glitter era. Compare that with how polished her interviews were during the Charmbracelet or Mimi eras and one begins to wonder if she is suffering some form of anxiety disorder or other personal problem. Her career is of secondary importance, I just want her to be healthy and safe. (Sunday 29 December 2013; 2:01)

Strategic plan (40,316) by Blake from USA Now that 2014 is 4 days away, I am wondering what is the plan with Mariah? I feel like she has no team. Jermaine organized the Facebook single which was pointless. If this is the new era for lambs, let's hope the next single is smash out of the box. She needs this to make a solid release worth of IDJ. Otherwise it could be shelved permanently. Mariah has said "it's my fault that we pushed the album back", but I don't get it and it could be label related but she is not at will to say. Summer of 2012 was supposed to be historic, Triumphant-historic was right but not in a good way. Then 7/23/13 album release date with #Beautiful becoming a hit single. Then it's pushed back before her injury because "she wants to make the best album possible for her lambs", then the injury happens and her wacky behavior gets worse by the day. I just can't justify all this. All I can do is listen to her catalog and pray she is not done in the business. Many think her career is done. (Saturday 28 December 2013; 17:06)

Songs never before heard by the queen (40,314) by Carlos Jaramillo from USA So I was able to do some research and found literally [...] of songs written and recorded by MC that are filed and active through ASCAP that none of us have [...] Songs written/recorded as early as 1987. [...] Well it says that Tommy owes the right to many of these songs and, certainly she must also have a hundred songs she prerecorded to select the "best" from for any given album. We love Mariah but, you can hear a "total" different voice in each album. Her voice, though amazing, seems to be very delicate or, um, "abused". Either way, songs she probably didn't like then, must sound [...] now, considering the incalculable vocal abilities she displayed in her youth. Give me ideas. [...] I have funds, I'll do all the leg work and pay for the necessities, but I don't know where to start. Help me. It'd be the [...] gift we could give ourselves in this life time (for us ol'school lambs). (Friday 27 December 2013; 17:51)

Just saying (40,313) by clueey23 from USA I don't want MC to be confined to what the industry or radio wants her to do or sound like. At this point in her career, she is digging deeper than ever before. What we hear on radio sounds like microwave music sometimes, the artistry isn't there anymore. So I want a more creative amazing album than chart success. I think MC is tired of compromises just to be heard. And I'm glad "The Art of Letting Go" was the glimpse of what's to be expected in 2014. Her honesty about AI and AIWFCIY in these past few interviews are steps in the right direction. I can't wait for the New Years performance. (Thursday 26 December 2013; 19:41)

Merry Christmas (40,312) by B from USA I own the dual disc album. In my opinion, this is one of MC's best albums. My top three are Merry Christmas, Daydream, and Butterfly. Charmbracelet, TEOM, and E=MC2 are my top three of the 2000's. However, each album has at least one or two songs that I love. Emotions is also a favorite. Her vocals are chill inducing. The high notes, oh how, she trills me when she does those. (Thursday 26 December 2013; 18:04)

Nick Cannon Christmas pics (40,311) by Licia from USA Nick posted some pics on Twitter and Instagram last night and I was dying laughing. He photoshopped himself into pics of Mariah when she was younger and Mariah even reposted one of the pics. They were so cute and hilarious. The funniest part is that half the people posting comments thought the pics were real. Lmao. I was trying to post one of the pics but couldn't. You can go to Nick's Instagram if you want to see them.
