General thoughts (36,270) by CDC from CA I left a comment on here a few months ago, the content I won't bother repeating. I've since distanced myself from fan websites and other such media, but as many of you might feel, it's hard to quit something that has been so familiar to you for years and years. That said, I sat back, refraining from the usual support I've extended in the past. Deep down, I hoped that there would be "something" that would reignite the spark of interest I had in Mariah's projects. The new single did absolutely nothing for me, and more recently, the live performance only worsened my opinion of Mariah and the song. There is no conceivable way I can be constructive, so I'd rather politely omit any further details of my thoughts on the disappointing performance. I just noticed that Mariah's name was trending on twitter, but the overwhelmingly negative responses from twitter users were disheartening to read. I can't help but think that this is only a foreshadowing of Mariah's tenure as an American Idol judge. I stuck by through the dark and gloomy Glitter years because it was clear that she had true respect for the craft. With her recent projects (HSN, American Idol, new song, etc.) I don't feel her intentions are in the right place. (Thursday 6 September 2012; 3:40)

Triumphant performance (36,269) by Geezy from USA by way of NYC The performance was less then triumphant, period. (Thursday 6 September 2012; 3:26)

NFL live performance (36,268) by M from USA Did anyone see more than the Triumphant Get 'Em performance? I saw the Queen Latifa mess of the national anthem. Love her but not for her vocals. More rap. (Thursday 6 September 2012; 3:26)

Nfl kick off (36,267) by Licia from USA The performance was pretty good, despite Triumphant not being a great song. I hope the other performances get shown eventually. (Thursday 6 September 2012; 2:37)

NFL performance (36,266) by Brad from USA Hi lambs. Hope you all are living well. So the NFL performance. Well the positive part is that no one likely saw it so it can be tossed aside and forgotten. Bad part? The voice just was not there. Her singing was spotty, at best. The video montage aforehand reflected her willingness to turn herself into a caricature. In 1990 I might have fallen in love with an image, but there was a voice front and center. Now we are seemingly left with all the trappings of a star who won't or can't use the device that put her in that position in the first place. I'm the most loyal of lambs but all we really want is to hear her voice. If she can't do that or won't, well then we will have to move forward and just remember fondly. But this sort of performance and song must stop. One way or another. Be well. Love ya, appreciate ya and enjoy ya. BTW, some of y'all are really cute! Nice pics. Hehe.

Cover/duet (36,264) by Paul from Usa I have always thought Mariah would do a fantastic job at Unchained Melody by the Rightious Brothers. I hope Mariah would take advantage of sharing the stage with No Doubt! Who doesn't love No Doubt? People are easily attracted to Gwen Stefani and it would be an interesting combination. What do you all think? (Tuesday 4 September 2012; 7:10)

Also (36,263) by RibbonB from USA Nick has already slammed that lasted tabloid lie on his twitter. (Monday 3 September 2012; 18:19)

Pre show/tabloids (36,262) by RibbonB from USA I hear Mariah will only be performing one song on air and that will likely be Triumphant. I hope it's a good performance. 've also read on twitter that her dancers are in town practicing. As far as tabloids, that's all they do are start mess. There will be tons of dumb stories next year when she is on Idol. Feuds on set, diva demands etc, etc, etc. Truth and tabloids rarely equates. (Monday 3 September 2012; 18:18)

Lee (36,261) by Jenny from South Africa Don't stress about the tabloids. Nick already tweeted and laughed that nonsense off. I don't think MC or Nick take tabloids seriously at all ever. Lol. In regards to NFL, I also think it should be majority uptempo. I would like to hear Emotions. I think it qualifies as uptempo? (Monday 3 September 2012; 17:24)

She should sing whatever she deems best (36,260) by Lee from USA If she sound great, then that's all that matters. And another thing, why are the tabloids trying to break up her happy marriage? (Monday 3 September 2012; 16:28)

Uptempos (36,259) by Guido Raphael from Paraguay I have to agree with the uptempos comment. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love Mariah's ballads. Nobody can call themselves fans or lambs and don't like her ballads. But in these times and days, only Adele can get away with ballads. And it's true about the type of event. She needs to do uptempos or some of her best remixed versions of her ballads. P.S.: Eric, I loved the new changes. Nice job! (Monday 3 September 2012; 15:43)

NFL setlist (36,258) by Licia from USA If she goes by what people are requesting, we will only get Triumphant and the rest ballads. I haven't seen anyone on twitter request alot of uptempo songs. The fans/lambs (whatever lol) don't seem to be thinking about the type of event it is when they request songs. (Monday 3 September 2012; 1:54)

Mariah cover (36,257) by Edge McQueen from Philippines I heard that MC performed U2's "With Or Without You" on her high school prom (I'm not sure whether it's true or not). I'm really curious how she sounded back then. I hope we get to hear this cover version soon. I'm sure she'd sound incredible. (Sunday 2 September 2012; 16:33)

Mariah #1's tour setlist (36,256) by Edge McQueen from Philippines I have always fantasized about MC doing a concert, singing all her number 1 hits. With 18 #1's, I think she's the only living solo artist who can complete an entire show with just #1's. I know this is almost impossible, because I heard she doesn't enjoy singing some of these songs live (Love Takes Time and I Don't Wanna Cry, which I really love btw). Although it will remain a fantasy to me, I have figured out a setlist with a specific order of songs with lots of costume breaks lol. 01. Emotions 02. Someday 03. Honey 04. Heartbreaker (Main/Remix Medley) Costume Change 05. I'll Be There 06. I Don't Wanna Cry 07. My All (Main/Club Mix Medley) Costume Change 08. Dreamlover 09. Fantasy 10. Touch My Body Costume Change 11. Love Takes Time 12. One Sweet Day 13. Vision of Love Costume Change 14. Thank God I Found You (Make It Last Remix) 15. Don't Forget About Us 16. Always Be My Baby Costume Change 17. We Belong Together 18. Hero The opening and closing parts are very predictable but that's how she does it most of the time. (Sunday 2 September 2012; 16:26)

NFL Kickoff setlist (36,255) by Geezy from USA by way of NYC Mariah needs to definitely keep the pace very fast and uptempo. Songs like Hero and many of her other ballads are not needed for this particular event. I'm just saying. (Sunday 2 September 2012; 15:11)

Natalie (36,254) by Licia from USA I agree. She needs to do uptempos for this event. Hero definitely needs to be put in the vault. Lol (Sunday 2 September 2012; 8:49)

Edward/Minnie (36,253) by Licia from USA I have always wanted Mariah to sing a Minnie Ripperton song. Hearing her sing back down memory lane and loving you would be awesome. (Sunday 2 September 2012; 8:44)

Duet/Nattalie (36,252) by Stephen from London, United Kingdom Maxwell is one of my favourite artists. It would be amazing for her and Mariah to work together. The idea of them doing a cover together is awesome. I'd like them to cover something unexpected, like a ballad/mellow version of Edge of Seventeen by Stevie Nicks. It's cool to see someone else shares my views on duets. (Sunday 2 September 2012; 0:06)

Special K (36,251) by Stephen from London, United Kingdom I know, after all these years it's great to finally put that fine face of yours to the messages Heartbreaker remix would be amazing btw. I love Missy and really want Mariah to work with her again. I asked Mariah to sing the I Still Believe remix on twitter. Bring Da Brat out too lol. (Sunday 2 September 2012; 0:02)

NFL Kick Off (36,250) by Jay from USA I would love to hear Vanashing, Vision of Love. I'm tired of the same songs she sings in her concerts lately, or maybe it just seems that way to me. Let's mix it up MC. I know some people aren't here for Triumphant, but she has to sing that song. I mean, c'mon, its supposed to be the buzz single for her next album and she's about to do AI. But she has to sing the Throwback Vintage Mix or I would't be mad if she did Pulse Mix since some lambs seem to like that version better. Actually, I wouldn't be mad if she brought Meek Mill and Rick Ross, that'll probably be a better combination for the football fans. But she needs to leave Hero at home. Yes, we know some lives have been saved with this song, but even MC looks like she gets bored with it. Oh, maybe she can sing Make It Happen (Jenny Craig remix, I know it's not called that, but I can't remember the name of that remix) for a positive vibe moment if need be. (Saturday 1 September 2012; 19:57)

Another cover/duet (36,249) by Joanna from Poland I'd be brilliant if MC did a cover of "The answer is yes" by Javier. A duet with Maxwell would be amazing; he's such a rare talent. (Saturday 1 September 2012; 16:00)

Next cover (36,248) by Joanna from Poland It won't probably be something that anybody here would expect, but I wish MC did "Alibi" by 30 Seconds To Mars. I love this song. At the beginning, the song is soft so Mariah could show a beautiful subtlety in her voice, while towards the end unleash her powerful and long notes. Jared does it great and I think Mariah's rendition would be epic. (Saturday 1 September 2012; 15:46)

List of songs I would love for Mariah to cover (36,247) by Edward from USA 1. Total Eclipse of the Heart (Bonnie Tyler) 2. Fields of Gold (Eva Cassidy) 3. Goodbye (Air Supply) 4. Memory Lane (Minnie Riperton) 5. Back to Life (Soul to Soul) (Saturday 1 September 2012; 15:09)

My Mariah dream duets! (36,246) by Edward from USA Ever since I heard the Cranberries for the time, I felt in love with Dolores O'Riordan’s voice. Her nuances are weirdly unique and beautiful. Even though I know it’s never going to happen, I would’ve loved to hear Mariah and Dolores singing in the same track. Delores has a quality to her voice combined with soul that I had never heard before. Her voice is not about power, but about the notes, and the way she blends sacred music with alternative. Mariah, when she wants, she also uses her voice make to melodies that sound weird, but beautiful at the same time. Underneath The Stars (I was drifting, drifting), or on the song Music Box from 3:12 to 3:16. Those are the things I missed more from Mariah. I would’ve also loved to hear Mariah sing with Sinéad O'Connor, or the late and soulful Eva Cassidy. (Saturday 1 September 2012; 14:45)

Next remake/cover (36,245) by Ryan from the Philippines I have always been a fan of rock ballads and enjoy listening to Mariah covering them and making them as her own. For the next album, and I've always been wanting this ever since, is for her to do a remake of Survivor's 'The Search Is Over'. I think Mariah's voice will do good on this track knowing that she can always give justice in covering songs. Just a thought. (Saturday 1 September 2012; 13:42)
