Article: 20th Anniversary (80,223) by Betty from Canada I love your website since day one, back when I had to go the library at school to check it, lol. Thank you so much for everything you do, I truly enjoy your website everyday like many lambs from around the world. Keep doing what you do. (Tuesday 2 January 2018; 17:12)

Re: NYE (80,220) (80,222) by Mara from United States Andrew, Drew baby. Please don't be tryin' to be our MCA Grinch who stole our Christmas here. We are all in unison and the world is loving the redemption of Mimi. The courage she showed getting up there, knowing it was make or break was everything. She literally owes us nothing and already redeemed herself with how flawless the end of 2017 has become. Not saying it was, but even if the climax was lipped, did it matter? My teeth were shattering being in the cold to get into a car, let alone try and sing in weather that was single digits record breaking (second lowest NYE temp) and wind chill well below zero, all that and look beautiful doing it. Gotta give credit where credit is due and she deserves a hell of a lot of credit. Amazing how in every photo posted by the media, she looks flawless in every single one. That is a testament to her beauty. On a side note, I wonder if we will hear from Tommy? I'm sure she wanted to prove to him even though she already has, but I'm sure part of her wanted to send him a message too that she is better than last year. She has done it.

Re: What's next for Mariah? (80,210) (80,221) by G.G. from USA Hopefully a new album that is well put together and promoted fully, by the label and Mariah herself. (Tuesday 2 January 2018; 15:39)

NYE (80,220) by Andrew from UK The Hero climax was not live. Anybody who calls themselves a fan would be able to tell that. But yet again the propaganda machine is out in full force to try to convince everybody of the falsehòod to make Mariah look good and themselves feel better. That is to say, if you're pushing that line youre simply a liar and need to ask baby Jesus for forgiveness. And probably grow up a little bit. Other than that she did well.

Re: NYE (80,217) (80,219) by Billy from Greece Great post Mara. I feel the same way, too. Gorgeous Mariah, excellent performance. And can we talk about finally singing the climax of "Hero" live again? Hallelujah. (Tuesday 2 January 2018; 11:01)

It's cute that she's nervous on VOL (80,218) by jaker20 from US It shows that she really does care for fans. She really tries. And that's more than I can ask for. Also, it's incredible that 27 years into her career and she's still headlining such a big event. She slayed Hero, once she got comfortable. So proud of her. (Tuesday 2 January 2018; 04:17)

NYE (80,217) by Mara from United States First off, can we appreciate the beauty that is Mariah Carey? Wow, she looked incredible. Her hair was amazing and she was glowing. This woman is 47 years old and literally looks in her early 30's. Also, wasn't it me or did she come on a little earlier than the 11:45 spot? I missed her introduction as I stepped away from the TV for a moment and boom I hear "treated me kind". I think the dryness def comes along with the frigid temp. VOL wasn't perfect, and her nerves were in full gear with that one in particular. I sensed how nervous she was when addressing the crowd about the tea. Hero, OK Mariah, you certainly shut all of us up. She knew what she should perform and Hero is one that in recent years I totally feel she sings to herself anymore, despite writing it with someone else in mind singing it. Her eyes were welling up at the end of it and she knew she did it. I am so proud of her and love how she chose to go back up there and end the year with closure especially after how it started. She is literally the strongest women I know and how amazing of a role model is she for Monroe and Roc for that matter, how you get back up and face your fears, get back up and try again. If Mariah can do it in front of millions of people across the world, we can do it for ourselves. God, I love this woman. And watching some of the instagram videos posted by her team, you can totally sense the elation on all of them since you know who is gone and how genuinely happy the mood really is. I loved seeing her with the kids and yes, Bryan too while NY was being played on TV. They totally looked amazed. I really hope we are in for an amazing year, we have all come a long way as a lamibly since last NYE. (Tuesday 2 January 2018; 03:37)

Re: 20th Anniversary (80,166) (80,216) by Mara from United States Congratulations Eric on keeping the most recognized Mariah fan site going and for your hard work and decication for 20 years. Keeping news updated, monitoring daily messages, adding appearances, new music what have you. It takes dedication. Back when it was all new, there was MC Archives and Mariah Daily. You have outlived and surpassed Mariah Daily. Cheers to 20 more. (Tuesday 2 January 2018; 03:07)

NYE performance (80,215) by John from USA Relieved it went well. In this live performance, Mariah still had shades of her early 90s tone in some of her belts and runs, which gives me hope that if she takes it seriously, and starts taking care of her voice and value it more instead of her love for the bubbly, we may see another "Emancipation" album. As for her diva antics being the first internet meme of 2018, I say better be associated with tea than alcohol. Everyone: send Mimi some tea. (Tuesday 2 January 2018; 02:59)

Re: What's next for Mariah? (80,210) (80,214) by Chicago Lamb from USA What's next? A Golden Globe win, let's hope. (Tuesday 2 January 2018; 01:28)

Re: Mariah Carey braves subzero temperatures (80,195) (80,212) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada I actually feel the performance went very well. I know that there are fans that get fed up with excuses. I get it. The truth like it or not is that performing amidst wheather conditions can influence the quality of the vocals. In addition to Mariah needing to take care of her voice. Was the performance without a few human moments? No it wasn't. She's human not a machine and she's put her instrument to use for over 25 years. As Licia said, what makes a difference is when it's clear she's genuinely putting her heart into it. For me that's what matters more than a "perfect" vocal. I could have done without the quip about the tea, simply because a lot of people don't understand her humor, and it gives people reason to focus on a "tea" comment rather than the underlying message of the performance. However, I love her, I'm proud of her effort, and I wish her an absolutely wonderful year. (Monday 1 January 2018; 23:14)

Re: Article: 20th Anniversary (80,165) (80,211) by Stacey from USA Well said, Licia. I won't add anything further except to say ditto and thanks to Eric too. Ok I'll add one thing, lol. When I first started collecting her CDs, etc. I stumbled upon this website and the discography was really helpful in finding authentic stuff and not spending money on fakes, etc. Happy 20th. (Monday 1 January 2018; 23:05)

What's next for Mariah? (80,210) by Dav from Ireland What do you think is next for Mariah? I know there's an Australian tour coming up. Last I heard we were meant to get an album by the end of 2017, according to the press release back in April, when she resigned with Sony. I'd love for her to have a huge undeniable hit. (Monday 1 January 2018; 21:42)

NYE (80,209) by Lee from UK She tried her best and that's all that matters. Although she sang Hero well, I still think it was the wrong song choice. I also think VoL was the wrong song choice too as she never seems to get it quite right live. She looked stunning and I wondered whether the choice to wear a very similar ensemble to last year was deliberate. The scripted tea joke didn't land as well as it could have but it has produced the first meme of 2018 so I'm not mad about it. Here's hoping Mariah takes a little break and comes back with a new album with strong promotion. (Monday 1 January 2018; 21:21)

Triumphant (she got em) (80,208) by Jeff from USA So proud. Great job, MiMi. (Monday 1 January 2018; 20:16)

The redemption of Mariah Carey (80,207) by B from USA Mariah's redemption was seen by over 15 million viewers which helped RNYE score it's best ratings since Ryan took the reigns. Here's the link. (Monday 1 January 2018; 18:31)

Re: Article: 20th Anniversary (80,186) (80,206) by MusicfanJ from Germany Thank you Eric for running this website. I really appreciate it, because I love this site. Checked the MCA news directly after I was able to on this morning. I had no doubt that this time Mariah is "doing it right". I'm a proud lamb too. Happy New Year to the MCA family. (Monday 1 January 2018; 17:50)

MCArchives 20th Anniversary (80,205) by Special K from USA Congratulations Eric. I discovered MCArchives in 2001 and have been riding with you ever since. Your dedication to this website and to Mariah is impeccable. We love you and I hope you have a prosperous, healthy, Happy New Year. Cheers to you. (Monday 1 January 2018; 17:15)

Re: NYE performance (80,190) (80,204) by Special K from USA VOL was shaky. Hero was great. Mariah looked painfully nervous with a smile. Performance was 100% live which I give Mariah mad respect because it was freezing outside. Overall it was good enough. May have been a bit more festive if an up tempo song was performed. I don't wanna sound too negative but it would be nice if Mariah can loose the "diva" act sometimes. It was cold as hell outside and she performs in a gown? Come on Mimi loosen up girl. I wasn't mad at the snowbear fake mink but why not wear a pair pants with some killer boots or something? Yes, overall the performance was good but straight up it killed my buzz. (Monday 1 January 2018; 16:54)

Re: Police escort (80,177) (80,203) by B from USA Because the fans and press swarmed her after last year's snafu. (Monday 1 January 2018; 15:39)

Re: NYE performance (80,182) (80,202) by B from USA It was an intentional pause to make the audience think there was going to be another snafu. (Monday 1 January 2018; 15:36)

Re: Thank you Jesus (80,188) (80,201) by B from USA (Monday 1 January 2018; 15:34)

Re: 20th Anniversary (80,175) (80,200) by B from USA Congrats, Eric. I remember finding your site in 1998 and falling in love. I didn't join the message board until years later but I've always checked the news every morning. Here's to another 20 years. (Monday 1 January 2018; 15:31)

NYE (80,199) by B from USA Did anyone else notice every time Mariah placed her hand on her hip she sang with attitude and energy. Just me? I don't care I'm just so proud of Mariah. (Monday 1 January 2018; 15:28)

Re: NYE performance (80,197) (80,198) by B from USA Both songs fit the night's theme of unity. Finding faith and overcoming obstacles. She sang live, even the Hero climax she always lypsyncs, and she was engaging, funny, and self depreciating. Watching the performances a second time showed how she played it safe during VOL to be able to hit the big notes in Hero and I think did an excellent job. I'm a proud Lamb this morning. Happy New Year, Lambily. (Monday 1 January 2018; 15:25)
