Re: Mr. Smollett (88,150) (88,155) by B from USA I refuse to believe he staged a hate crime for a pay raise. How would staging an attack secure him a raise exactly? I hope he's innocent but at this point who knows. (Friday 22 February 2019; 04:00)

The Butterfly Returns (88,154) by B from USA More epic vocals from Mariah. Her voice is in fine form and she's going to slay the Caution tour. Check out @kindaiconiic's tweet. (Friday 22 February 2019; 03:57)

Re: A No No remix fake news (88,143) (88,153) by Hector from Mexico I hope Mariah performs only songs she can replicate well live. I hate to listen to her new renditions of her classics when she doesn't do justice to them anymore. It's just sad. (Friday 22 February 2019; 02:17)

Re: A No Cardi no (88,146) (88,152) by SM from Citizen of the World March can't come soon enough. Hopefully something leaks before, so we all know if it's a real remix lol. (Friday 22 February 2019; 01:55)

Re: My absolute favorite Mariah song (88,141) (88,151) by Hector from Mexico That's correct. (Friday 22 February 2019; 01:43)

Re: Mr. Smollett (88,148) (88,150) by RibbonB from USA The case with Jussie is weird and always has been. It's sounded strange to begin with, so I didn't comment. I think there may yet be more twists and turns. He is innocent until proven guilty. The bizarre thing is who would pay for a crime with a check? I can't wait to see law and order SVU do a take on this incident (Friday 22 February 2019; 00:07)

Re: Mr. Smollett (88,148) (88,149) by MusicfanJ from Germany It's unbelievable. I also liked "Empire" and when I read about the "attack" I was really shocked. Who would think that it was all fake and his own idea to get more money or fame with the press? Well never trust an actor. Honestly it's like a bad movie. What a fake and ill person Mr. Smollett seems to be. I'm sure he has got enough money, I hope he loose all his supporters and tv-appearances. He should spend the money for true victims.

Mr. Smollett (88,148) by Matty from Vancouver Canada Now that Jessie Smollett was arrested today for staging his own attack and sending himself that note to help him negotiate a higher salary on Empire; do you think Mariah and other celebs will take down their social media posts of support? I'm a massive Empire fan, and totally loved Jessie (right down to his leaked nudes online lol), but no. Wow. I can't know what to say. Disgusting and embarrassing for anyone who was his fan or supporter. I wonder what Lee Daniels thinks? Do you think he's a sociopath? This case is shocking. Guess he got to check off opening for Mariah from his Hollywood bucket list, before it all comes crashing down. (Thursday 21 February 2019; 21:32)

Re: When V threw a party for Karl Largerfeld (88,142) (88,147) by RibbonB from USA At least he was never shady to Mimi, but he's being labeled a misogynist by many since his death. He notoriously called Adele too fat and said many other racist, fat shaming, statements, etc. (Thursday 21 February 2019; 21:18)

A No Cardi no (88,146) by T from USA Does anyone else find the no Cardi remix weird? I mean she said on an interview posted December 20th that she doesn't have time to do it, but that interview was made a week before that and now we are at the end of February and you're telling me she couldn't mailed in one verse? (Thursday 21 February 2019; 21:11)

Love Takes Time (88,145) by B from USA Have ya'll seen this? (Thursday 21 February 2019; 20:13)

Mariah day (88,144) by anonymous from UK So I've had a full on MC fest today. It started with listening to the Caution album, then moved on to the Daydream album and now I'm sat here watching the full Tokyo Daydream tour on YouTube, which I've shared on Facebook as well. I'm still to this day in absolute awe of Mariah, and watching this concert just once again reaffirms just why she is one the most legendary artists of all time, and of course, my all time personal favourite. It just doesn't get better. It can't be stated enough, by enough people, just how phenomenal and truly one of a kind this woman's voice truly is. I'm absolutely and always will be a huge, proud, ecstatic lamb. And on a different note - it felt a little like spring today, hopefully we can feel the winter losing its grip here in the northern hemisphere. Bring on the summer.

Re: A No No remix fake news (88,136) (88,143) by Eduardo from Mexico Please show us the Billboard source that announces it will be the next single? I just hope she sings at least 4 songs from Caution on the tour otherwise it will be one of the many non promotional tours she has done in the last 10 years. (Thursday 21 February 2019; 15:58)

Re: When V threw a party for Karl Largerfeld (88,139) (88,142) by MusicfanJ from Germany Karl was a fashion genius. I'm not into fashion at all haha, but Karl was really great. I love his famous quotes like "we don't know Heidi Klum, she was never in Paris" lol and so on. The pic on instagram where he kissed Mariah's hand is fantastic. I find it always cool that MC knows/knew everybody who is a real legend too. (Thursday 21 February 2019; 15:22)

Re: My absolute favorite Mariah song (88,134) (88,141) by Bill from the UK If we're splitting hairs, it's an awesome 70s beat (YouTube I Want to Thank You by Alicia Myers). (Thursday 21 February 2019; 12:18)

Mariah's age (88,140) by Stacey from USA 1969? 1970? Tomato. Tomato. You get the idea, lol. (Thursday 21 February 2019; 09:00)

When V threw a party for Karl Largerfeld (88,139) by B from USA Love this story. Karl was a visionary fashion icon who's influence and legacy will stand the test of time. Does anyone know if there are any videos of Mariah's performance? (Thursday 21 February 2019; 06:04)

Re: MC's age? (88,125) (88,138) by Jenny from South Africa I also saw that Oprah clip where her mom says 1970. And it's not like Oprah asked her what year Mariah was born, it's just something she mentioned herself so I also believe her. I've never understood why her age was still in doubt after that.

Re: My absolute favorite Mariah song (88,128) (88,137) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway Yes, Fantasy: At Madison Square Garden is the most cohesive live material that has ever been released by Mariah. It's the first concert with Mariah I ever bought, and I also have it on VHS, but also DVD. One time I just bought ten copies of the DVD version, and gave it as presents to family and friends, even though none of them are particularly intrested in Mariah. The concert at Toky Dome might be better, but it's something with the production of the MSG one that is so good. I actually had the concert from Tokyo Dome in DVD before it was available to the general public. I know a famous music journalist who works for the national brodcasting network here in Norway, NRK, and he gave a copy that belonged to NRK to me before it was released in the early 00's. I remember I was so proud as a Mariah fan to own that, a treasure. Now it's not special to have it, I have bought a couple of DVD's that has been released, but I still have it, it is just a blank DVD inside a CD cover with the songs handwritten by some one who worked at NRK.

Re: A No No remix fake news (88,126) (88,136) by B from USA Billboard announced that A No No is being released on March 4th. Why is everyone acting like this era is a failure? According on several sites that compile chart data Caution has sold somewhere between 75,000 to 100,000 copies which is impressive considering Jay-Z and Beyoncé's joint album has only sold 500,000 copies. Even more so when you consider the public humiliations Mariah has endured over the four years. Mariah is going to do the rounds to promote the tour so let's wait and see how Roc Nation's and Epic's strategic plan plays out. So far they've accomplished exactly what they set out to do, regain the favor of Adult Contemporary and R&B radio. (Thursday 21 February 2019; 05:08)

Re: A No No remix fake news (88,130) (88,135) by B from USA She's about to embark on a tour to support the album so I don't see her abandoning it anytime soon. As tour dates approach people will be buying tickets and by doing so they'll also be buying the album because Epic bundled tour tickets with copies of the album which will increase sales of the album. I think Mariah and Epic are going to release two more singles after A No No even if it's a complete and utter failure simply because they no longer seem concerned with Mariah topping the Hot 100 and instead are focusing their efforts on restablishing Mariah at Adult Contemporary and R&B radio which they've already accomplished with With You. With You is #3 on the Adult R&B Songs chart, #33 on the Top 40 chart, and #7 on the Adult Contemporary chart and on each has a bullet for gains in performance. (Thursday 21 February 2019; 05:07)

Re: My absolute favorite Mariah song (88,128) (88,134) by Hector from Mexico I agree. "Make it happen" means a lot to Mariah. It is truly a fantastic song with a catchy melody and an awsome 90's beat. Classic Mariah. (Thursday 21 February 2019; 02:53)

Re: A No No remix fake news (88,126) (88,133) by Hector from Mexico That's exactly what I think. Epic is not promoting With You anywhere. The single is being played on some stations. That's all. (Thursday 21 February 2019; 02:51)

This board (88,132) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) This board has gone right back to a negative place again it seems like nothing MC can do is right no matter what it is. Despite everything she is still doing great honestly she is no longer a twenty something year old chasing pop stardom she is now almost 50 and has cemented her legacy as one of the few pop divas we still have left despite the ups and downs she has gone through over the years. As a family I have to agree we fuss over the most foolish things at times but what keeps us going is the love that we share for MC. It is my hope that we can get back to appreciating her and her gifts before we no longer have them at our disposal. Be good to yourselves Archives family and let’s to be good to one another.

Labels alter age (88,131) by Nikki from usa Artists in general are always questioned about their age because labels have a long history of altering them. They try to make the artists as young as possible to add more longevity to their careers, especially females. J.Lo lied about her age by 1 year. That didn't come out until she was arrested with Puffy. Sony claimed she was 28 instead of 29. Eminem's label claimed he was 25 when he debuted, but he actually was 28. Nicki Minaj did the same thing. I think what sparked Mariah's questioning is the fact her label has her graduating high school at 17. That's problematic when MC's a spring baby. She would've just turned 17 prior to graduation. Which means she spent most of her senior year as a 16 year old. She couldn't be that young unless she skipped a grade or started school obscenely early. Personally, I think it's because they wanted to exaggerate how long it took Mariah to get discovered. Spending over a year to get 1 record deal is more of a drama than having 3 record labels fighting over her within 6 months. (Wednesday 20 February 2019; 21:34)
