Re: New album title (82,123) (82,125) by Andrew from UK NYE 2017 is on December 31 2016. NYE 2018 is on December 31 2017 and so on: so NYE 2017 referred to the Emotions high notes coming out of the speakers as if by magic. But yea she did lipsync the NYE just gone. The climax of Hero was blatant pre-record. But it was all in jest. Can't a miserable stain on humanity make a joke round 'ere? (Tuesday 24 April 2018; 12:04)

Re: What if MC said my last album and my last tour (82,121) (82,124) by Licia from USA Even though I'm a selfish fan and I want her to make music forever, I know eventually she'll stop and I'd be ok wit it. She's worked so hard for so long she deserves it. Despite how I may feel about some of her behavior and antics throughout the years, musically she'll always be a legend and one of the best. Noone can take away her legacy. (Tuesday 24 April 2018; 11:34)

Re: New album title (82,056) (82,123) by B from USA Mariah started 2018 on the right note (lypsynced according to you). She redeemed herself on RNYE, attended the Golden Globes looking gorgeous with Sharon Stone, and finally came forward with her battle with bipolar II disorder, and is in the studio writing with new collaborators. I think she's already started the ground work for a comeback. Much love and positivity. (Tuesday 24 April 2018; 11:29)

Re: I Don't (82,119) (82,122) by Chicago Lamb from USA You know, I really do like the song. Mariah is a clever interpolator. The song just works for me. The video yes, more than one awkward scene. I blame Stella. (Tuesday 24 April 2018; 03:12)

What if MC said my last album and my last tour (82,121) by Bobby A from United States What if this 2018 new album will be her last and a 2019 world tour will be her last tour. How would Lambs react? Would it pave the way for MC to finally be free to live her life not in the public eye and just focus on raising Roc and Roe? What would be her legacy? (Tuesday 24 April 2018; 02:32)

Re: (82,060) and (82,063) (82,120) by JD from United States First of all I didn't say anything negative about [Andrew], all I stated was that part of the appeal of Mariah is her eccentric personality. When I speak of a resurgence of social media I mean [...] - like since [December]. I do agree with [Andrew] in several aspects of what he said, however I don't think we need a "whole new Mariah". I think we need the Mariah we all know and love. I think her over the topness is being toned down and I can hope she is truly returning to her old, playfully "extra" and "diva" yet still kind and respectable self. I 10000% agree she changed during the [Stella] era. I'm just saying she doesn't need to return to the rehearsed fake non threatening girl next door personality that she had (or was made to have) in the early 90s. I don't agree that "most of her fans" have left because of her personality. This message board mainly just represents her older demographic of fans. She has actually gained tons of younger fans recently, however you may not have known that. And I'm talking about since 2016 not when MIAM came out. Don't know where you got that. Almost everything Mariah's new team tweets goes viral, AIWFCIY was trending all [December], broke spotify record, countless memes and viral tweets about Mariah, etc. Her social media all across the board has gained a lot of followers and attention lately. I'm in a lamb group chat on twitter which consists of literally only teenage lambs who have primarily become fans over the last two years. Maybe for some of you her personality has isolated her "fans" but she has also actually gained quite a few. The thing I do agree with is the way exaggerated and almost bitter way that she acted most of 2016 and 2017 in interviews, but I believe that has mainly to do with her influences at the time. There haven't been many video interviews this year but she was articulate and not super extra at the [Golden Globes] which reminded me of her true self. Mariah is a very smart and articulate woman who can be a diva either as a joke sometimes or as a defense mechanism when she feels threatened. I for one do not mind the jokingly diva Mariah, however the latter is not as appealing. I think that since she seems to be truly happy now it will show and I think the best we can do is hope that this translates into every aspect in her life including her career. I have seen a shift in the general public's idea of her [...] since last year, maybe you haven't noticed but I and several others I know, even in real life have. that's all.

I Don't (82,119) by Dove from United States I went back and watched the video for I Don't and you guys are right - it's hilarious. I remember when it first came out, I watched it like twice, and then forgot about it because it made me feel uncomfortable. Which is a shame, because, it's the prettiest she's ever looked, ever. Her eyebrows are perfect. Her body is fit, her hair looks great, her make-up is gorgeous. Too many unfortunate scenes though. I think the awkwardest moment is at 2:16. (Tuesday 24 April 2018; 00:59)

Re: New album title (82,067) (82,118) by JD from United States Thanks b. I've been lurking on here for awhile and just had to say that. Obviously some of the way she's acted in 2016-2017 wasn't a representation of her because of her mental health. But I would never want her to sacrifice her amazing personality for mainstream success again. I think she's at a point in her career where she can have both. The problem was that people didn't get her shtick. They saw her as a total bitch and not the playful diva yet caring smart and respectful person that she is. If Mariah had no personality would we even be fans? It takes more than just golden pipes for me to love somebody as much as I love Mariah. I think the general public finally understands her, maybe NYE 2016 and all the downfalls and newfound success across social media has humanized her. Whatever it is I think she's going to do very well. (Monday 23 April 2018; 22:45)

Re: I love a list (82,097) (82,117) by Bill from the UK Haha I love a wine influenced list. Reading through everybody’s, I can’t believe how much I forgot. How could I not list Make It Look Good as a single should have been, when at the time of release it was the best thing she’d done in ten years?

Re: A list for Jade (82,112) (82,114) by Anonymous from Haha, brilliant. Very funny but I'm flabbergasted that you think "Just Be Good To Me" is crud. It almost makes me want to hash it out with you in Leicester Square. Hmm, how can I top that? (Monday 23 April 2018; 21:08)

Re: I Like That (82,099) (82,103) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Sorry, I didn't mean to sound cruel, but I just don't know how pretty much everyone else can put out great, creative videos while a legend like Mariah can't even put an effort to do something that's more than just passable or an afterthought. Budget is most definitely not the issue. Maybe she's just reached a point in her career where she feels entitled to loosen up and not exercise the usual creative control that she would put into all of her videos. And in a very visual generation, especially for a middle-aged artist, that just won't do. (Monday 23 April 2018; 05:33)

Re: (82,060) and (82,063) (82,095) (82,102) by Licia from USA Ok. Got it. (Monday 23 April 2018; 02:35)

Re: Will JD and BMC get in studio with MC in 2018? (82,096) (82,101) by RibbonB from USA I'm not seeing any new music this year. Obviously I could be wrong, but I believe the announcements of the last two weeks have thrown a serious wrench in things. But there is lots of room for the element of surprise, so we shall see. But if she is touring parts of Asia in the fall maybe she feels she will have material for a mid summer release. (Monday 23 April 2018; 00:11)
