About Licia from USA: I think I'm Mariah's oldest fan lol.

RJJ / Morgan (54,174) by Licia from USA I love that song by Tamia. After I heard this song I forgave her for that Sandwich and a Soda song. Lol. As far as that supposed interview by Morgan, I'm taking what was said with a grain of salt. The National Enquirer isn't exactly my go to news outlet for truthful stories. Throughout Mariah's whole career I have never seen or heard Morgan ever speak of Mariah good or bad in the media. Why would he start now? (Thursday 4 June 2015; 11:56)

Mimi L / qhm (54,106) by Licia from USA All the hate for Last Night A Dj Saved My Life just rips out my poor heart. Lol. That was the best remake on Glitter. I guess since I'm a late 70's baby I have an appreciation for the 80s sound. I can agree that she didn't need all the features. Most of those songs stood out on their own with just her voice. Qhm the original version of Last Night A Dj Saved My Life is longer than Mariah's version. She shortened it a little. Lol. (Wednesday 3 June 2015; 16:17)

My 5 songs I dislike (54,104) by Licia from USA 5. Infinity - Everybody here pretty much knows I dislike this song. It's just not a good song and it should have stayed in the vault or the trash. 4. Did I Do That - This has to be the worst use of a sample ever. I'm upset Mariah helped create this mess. I love the original rap song. It didn't fit with what Mariah was trying create. 3. Say Something - I usually love anything that Pharrell touches, but it didn't work out on this song. I was ticked at LA Reid for picking this garbage as a single over better songs on TEOM. 2. To The Floor - This song just sucks. 1. All I Want For Christmas Extra Festive Mix - This remix of a remix was a waste of space on a good effort at a second Christmas album. This mix was not needed. The So So Def remix is the only remix that I acknowledge. I don't pass these songs up. They didn't even make it to the iPod. These songs don't exist in my mind. Lol. (Wednesday 3 June 2015; 16:07)

Deedre (54,093) by Licia from USA Yeah I know that's weird. Lol. There have been songs that at first listen I've hated, but somehow the video will pull me in. I can't explain it. It doesn't happen all the time, but it happens more often than I should admit. Lol. (Wednesday 3 June 2015; 2:22)

Lamb o chops (54,085) by Licia from USA That's exactly how I saw it. They couldn't commit to the original idea so they threw something together. You worded it perfectly. (Wednesday 3 June 2015; 0:51)

Mimi L./ Ardis (54,083) by Licia from USA Yeah that closet scene was a little awkward. I just really needed this video to make me like this song. I didn't buy the album so I was looking forward to buying the single. I've never had to work this hard to like anything Mariah. Lol. Ardis I'm never going to lessen my expectations so that I won't be disappointed because I know that she's capable of so much more than what she has been giving. I don't expect perfect, but I do expect her to give her best. This for me is not her best. (Tuesday 2 June 2015; 23:34)

Mimi L (54,056) by Licia from USA I agree with you Mimi L. There was so much that they said was going to happen and it didn't. I expected a fun TMB type video. The logical side of me knows that maybe they just bit off more than they could chew and they ran out of time. They couldn't do the video in the way that they really wanted, but the irrational/fan side of me wanted them to present a video in the way that they described. Irrational me is winning right not. Lol. (Tuesday 2 June 2015; 17:14)

Infinity video (54,042) by Licia from USA I was thinking the video would help me like the song, but it didn't. I wanted the Honey stunts that they said we would get. I also wanted something funnier. The shots with the guys were funny, but that was it. TMB wasn't a great song, but the video makes me laugh and made me enjoy that song more. I was hoping for something close to that. Next. I can officially be done with Infinity. Lol. (Tuesday 2 June 2015; 13:59)

Lee / Beyonce (54,023) by Licia from USA Nobody is scared of Jay Z or AL Sharpton. I can honestly say I wouldn't be one of those black folks boycotting anybody because they said anything against B. They blew that roboho comment way out of proportion. Lol I like some of Beyonce's songs, but I'm not a diehard fan. Her first two albums were great. Anything after was blah IMO. The one thing that Beyonce has that Mariah doesn't have is diehard fans who will except anything that Beyonce puts out. She could do an album full of farts and her fans would buy it and swear it's innovative. Mariah fans on the other hand want real, quality music and unfortunately if she doesn't give us that a good majority of us won't buy it. (Monday 1 June 2015; 23:47)

Infinity video (54,022) by Licia from USA Mariah just posted on Twitter that the Infinity video will be shown tonight. She didn't say where or what time. Just tonight. (Monday 1 June 2015; 23:24)

Merry Christmas re-release (53,948) by Licia from USA I'm with everyone else. I'm not understanding why this album needs another release. She makes money off that album every year without a re-release so it's not about money. It's not needed unless she is releasing a third Christmas album with different songs. For me if they just have to re-release it why not do it when the Christmas movie comes out? That makes more sense to me then doing it now. I totally understand the Beacon shows though. She kind of has to perform for Christmas. It's a must. I'm just ready for new music. I'm over number 1 To Infinity. I was over Infinity when it came out. Lol. (Sunday 31 May 2015; 14:10)

JD / Mimi L (53,872) by Licia from USA JD told no lies in this interview. I'm not a fan of him saying it so publicly though. I feel like he should have said this to her privately, but again he didn't lie. I know that JD loves and respects her and he wants the best for her. He still made sure to remind people why she is one of the baddest singers alive at the end of the interview. She needs more people like that in her corner rather than people who will kiss her behind for a paycheck. I'd rather her hear the truth from people who really care about her than hear bs from people who just want to see her fail. Mimi L I agree about the AI comments. I feel the comments are unnecessary at this point and although we as fans understand why she feels the way she does about the experience, the general public will only see her as being catty or snotty. (Friday 29 May 2015; 23:28)

Alex (53,568) by Licia from USA You hit the nail on the head. I agree with everything you said. I hate that people are taking what he said as a dig at Mariah or that he has no faith in her. I don't believe that at all. He may have said something that a lot of people don't want to accept, but there was no malice behind it and it was truthful. I respect the mess out of him for not sugar coating what he had to say. (Wednesday 20 May 2015; 7:32)

BBMA (53,461) by Licia from USA Mariah did good at the awards. As many have said it wasn't her best, but it wasn't her worst. I appreciate her singing VOL live. I was hoping that the Infinity performance would kind of help me like the song, but that didn't happen. I've never had to work so hard to like a Mariah song in 25 years. I don't even think the video will help this time around. Lol. (Monday 18 May 2015; 12:48)

Shezz (53,435) by Licia from USA It's not even worth trying to defend Mariah and her image either because she's going to do and wear what makes her happy. The only person who can change her image is her and obviously she's ok with it. It's not worth the fight. I don't always agree with her choices, but she's an adult and I'm just here for the music. (Monday 18 May 2015; 1:11)

Deedre (53,434) by Licia from USA I was the same way. We were 12. We were supposed to be psycho and emotional fans at 12. It used to kill me when people talked about her. Lol. Once I was able to work and I could buy my own music and make my own choices, I started caring less about what anyone said. This is what I like and I don't have to explain why I like it. I'm sure as crap not going to argue and try to defend any performance good or bad to anyone. (Monday 18 May 2015; 1:02)

Gilbert (53,413) by Licia from USA I'm so sorry about the show cancellation. I agree the situation could have been handled way better. While it's good they offered you all refunds, I think they should have just let as many of the people who bought tickets from that date into another show since they were not going to reschedule. To make them rebuy tickets for another date (which may or may not be sold out) was ridiculous. I hope you still somehow enjoyed your birthday. (Sunday 17 May 2015; 12:23)

Randy (53,412) by Licia from USA I'm not going in to the Mariah/Whitney debate. At their very best both killed. My question is why do you feel that you have to defend Mariah? I've seen you say this more than once and it makes me cringe. I too have people around me who love to bash Mariah any chance they get. They can't wait to say something when she messes up. I could care less what they say. If they ask me why she sounded bad, my reply is "Ask Mariah." I've found that people who talk bad about her are going to say something bad regardless of if she did good or bad. You don't have to defend why you love her music and you surely are not required to defend her if she messes up. If it was bad, say it was bad and move on. If it was good and they still think it was bad, say you liked it, move on, and then blast your favorite Mc song loud (preferably while they are in the room with you). I get your frustration with her not so great performances. I just don't get why you feel you need to prove anything to the people around you. (Sunday 17 May 2015; 12:06)

MIAM (53,203) by Licia from USA I agree. We know nothing besides what is in the media. All we can do is speculate. I'm sure Mariah is hurt by the divorce, but other than that I have no idea what happened to end their marriage. I'm not going to be mad at him just because he decided to file first and I'm not going to proclaim he's a bad guy without really knowing what happened. Anyway the only people I stand for are those kids. Mariah and Nick will be fine and eventually will move on. Those kids are just stuck. (Monday 11 May 2015; 23:12)

Mimi L. (53,190) by Licia from USA I too enjoy reading your posts. I don't mind you or anyone having a difference opinion. It's nice to be on opposite sides and still be able to talk respectfully to each other. It's all good. I like to talk. (Monday 11 May 2015; 17:37)

Mimi L . (53,188) by Licia from USA I respect your opinion as well and I get what and why you're saying it, but some of what you stated is untrue. First of all those gigs are still coming through despite the divorce. You all forget that he was making moves before Mariah. Second of all Nick has defended Mariah plenty of times during her rough year. The media tried to bait him into saying bad things about her bad performances and he defended her. I have not heard him say anything remotely disrespectful about her since he filed for divorce. Everything bad that I've heard is purely rumors and speculation from both sides. My point is that he should be saying things like this in public. Not for us, but for the benefit of his kids. Right now they don't understand what's going on, but when they get older they will understand and the last thing they need to see is their mom and dad acting a fool on social media or anywhere else taking shots at each other. Those kids will already have to deal with the other junk that comes with having famous parents. They don't need the two people who obviously love them airing out the negative stuff in public. Having said all of that, I'm not sure what his intentions really are. I can only hope he's doing it for the right reason. (Monday 11 May 2015; 16:03)

Mimi L. / Ethan (53,182) by Licia from USA I disagree. I think it's commendable for Nick to respect Mariah in public despite how he may really feel. She basically made a whole song dissing the crap out of him (we all know it's about him despite what she says) and he's handling it well by not blasting her in public because of the kids. Alot of men would not be so nice. Showing respect to the mother of your children is in no way pathetic. It's what he should be doing. Ethan, Nick was not at her side in the hospital because she told him to stay and edit the Beautiful remix video. He tried to come but she made him stay. She has said that in several interviews after the fall happened. (Monday 11 May 2015; 13:15)

I agree (53,119) by Licia from USA Marissa and Myles I agree with you both. She's putting in alot of effort and she's trying to make these Vegas shows a success. Even though I'm not a fan of Infinity, I can agree that the label and Mariah are really putting their all behind it and that's what she need. I'll be the first one to be vocal when stuff goes wrong, but you have to give her some credit right now. She knocked that first show out the box. Was it perfect? Nope, but she put in the work and hopefully it will only get better as the show continues. (Friday 8 May 2015; 22:34)

Vegas Love Takes Time (53,105) by Licia from USA She killed it. I haven't heard her sing that in years and she was on fire. I loved it. I have seen all the clips, but that one is the best. LTT is a hard song and she ran through it with her current voice like a pro. I was proud for her. (Friday 8 May 2015; 17:34)

BBMA and mini concert (52,887) by Licia from USA Are the Billboard Awards live or pretaped? I haven't watched in years. I am asking because by looking at her supposed appearances, she has the Billboard Awards on the 17th and then she tapes the mini concert for Jimmy Kimmel on the 18th in Los Angeles. I'm just wondering how that's going to work out. (Tuesday 5 May 2015; 22:49)
