About B from USA: Slowly but surely®™ The Vindication of B ®™ "There are people called haters and we give them positivity" MC

Me I am the best (44,213) by B from USA The new album is her best album since TEOM. I adore E=MC2. Side Effects is one of her best songs. But it was a collection of singles. Memoirs was/is ok. (Wednesday 28 May 2014; 18:23)

E=MC2 (44,117) by B from USA I love this album. Side Effects, For The Record, I'm That Chick, Cruise Control. It's a great album from a woman at the top of her game. She sounds so confident on this album. (Monday 26 May 2014; 20:04)

Dedicated (43,981) by B from USA Dedicated proves Mariah still owns the thug love genre. A genre she started when she collaborated with ODB on the remix of Fantasy in 1995. Almost 20 years later. All hail the queen. Her album is better than I Am Sasha and Beyonce. (Thursday 22 May 2014; 0:39)

Me... I am Mariah (43,975) by B from USA Is a masterpiece. She bares her soul and has a good time. It's her best album since The Emancipation Of Mimi. She's getting rave reviews. Six days and counting. (Wednesday 21 May 2014; 22:33)

Me. I am Mariah (43,905) by B from USA This is her best album since TEOM. I love Cry. Can't wait for the 27th. Excited. Definitely worth the wait. Bravo Mimi, bravo. (Tuesday 20 May 2014; 22:55)

Critics (43,824) by B from USA Mariah delivers musically and she's criticised for being over weight. She said during her interview on the Today Show that the photoshoot took place a year ago so it's not like she's saying she looks like that now. (Tuesday 20 May 2014; 3:14)

The voice (43,814) by B from USA The voice we hear is her voice so I don't care if she lips part of a song. All singers do it. It's not that big of deal. Katy Perry was lipping at the Billboard Awards last night. Are there any post about her doing so? No there isn't. The reason is Mariah can sing. She's known as The Voice. Another reason is people love trying to tear her down. Sad but true. May 27th is only 8 days away. (Monday 19 May 2014; 20:05)

Thirsty or You Don't Know What To Do (43,792) by B from USA I prefer Thirsty over YDKWTD. I think Thirsty has the potential to be a big hit with the right video. It's catchy. I like both versions. YDKWTD has potential as well. After a few false starts this era is, at least musically, taking off. She needs a video like Touch My Body for Thirsty. A video that pokes fun at the publics perception of her. (Sunday 18 May 2014; 19:25)

Today Show (43,694) by B from USA I enjoyed Mariah's performance on the Today show. She didn't use her whistle register which is forgivable. She seemed to be having throat issues and hearing problems. Maybe she's got a cold or a sore throat. She has been recording and doing interviews so it's understandable. I love that she performed a new song. She nailed that performance. The only complaint I have is the glove. And the dress. She needs to rehire the stylist (and team) that she worked with while promoting E=MC2. She looked young and classy during that era. (Friday 16 May 2014; 17:23)

Thirsty (43,631) by B from USA It's what I expected. The title is Thirsty, what were people expecting? It sounds like a Hit Boy beat because it is. I loved Almost Home, #Beautiful, and You're Mine (Eternal). Thirsty is catchy. I like the beat and the lyrics are clever. It's a cute, fun summery song. It's perfect for summer. It's got a beat you can bounce to. I'm buying the album on the 27th. I hope she worked with a big name director for the video like Hype or Paul Hunter or Diane Martel who's been working with Miley. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 22:41)

Me. I Am Mariah (43,310) by B from USA Cry, Faded, One More Try, and Supernatural are the songs I'm dying to hear. I'm excited. And Thirsty. I bet IDJ works overtime to ensure this project is a success now that Rhianna has left to join ROC Nation. Mariah is an amazing singer but she's also a very talented songwriter and I bet she's spent the last few months coming up with an undeniable smash that she'll hopefully perform on David Letterman. (Wednesday 7 May 2014; 14:09)

Me. I Am Mariah... The Elusive Chanteuse (43,290) by B from USA I don't think this album will flop. Even if it's not a huge blockbuster album I don't think one album can devastate an artist of Mariah's caliber. I just want good songs. With well written lyrics, Mariah's signature vocals, and a wall of Mariah's singing the background vocals. BTW, I really hate the cover for the deluxe edition, at least I hope it's the deluxe (the close up of her face?). (Tuesday 6 May 2014; 23:56)

Questions? (43,033) by B from USA According to Showbiz 411 columnist Roger Friedman Mariah played the record for IDJ last summer in London and they loved what they heard and now they release a statement contradicting comments she made to Billboard Magazine, the music industry bible. I know there have been some changes going on at IDJ but to flat out disrespect an artist of Mariah's caliber while she's promoting a project you're financing and releasing seems pointless, like we don't have faith in her oh by the way buy the album. (Tuesday 29 April 2014; 19:35)

Stop (42,996) by B from USA The media and fans (fans of Bey and MC) need to stop with the claims of copying or ripping off. People know Mariah is releasing an album, they had no clue Bey was. Mariah's surprise is the track listing, art work, and title. Not the album. I love You're Mine (Eternal), if it had been released in 2005 or 2008 it would have been a huge hit #1. I'm shocked it didn't do well on the R&B charts. It's a great song. #Beautiful and You're Mine (Eternal) are great songs. She's still an amazing songwriter and she's still an amazing singer. She'll deliver an amazing album. Her hip hop collaborations will be nothing like Triumphant, she's not stupid. She reads her reviews. After Triumphant she releases #Beautiful. I don't think this is a make or break it album like the Billboard story claimed. I think she's spent the last few months writing strong singles. She's a pop genius and this album is going to proof it, mark my words. Mariah is on fire. Mariah is the queen. Often imitated never duplicated. (Monday 28 April 2014; 20:15)

Mariah's Billboard cover story and interview (42,968) by B from USA The quotes from Mariah's Billlboard interview have me excited. She admits that You're Mine (Eternal) flopped because it was a ballad and Triumphant was for Nick and Whitney. It was never an official single. I think she has an amazing single that has a sing along hook and a banging beat from a big name producer. Fingers crossed. Hopefully, Brett Ratner directs the video and Mariah slims down and looks amazing (she always does). (Monday 28 April 2014; 1:26)

JD (42,928) by B from USA MC should have left JD in 2005. Yes, they wrote Always Be My Baby, We Belong Together, and Don't Forget About Us. I forgot to mention The One from Charmbracelet. He is irrelevant. She needs new producers with fresh ideas and sounds. She needs a real manager like Benny Medina, not one of her friends (Randy and JD). I think she's doing JD's job for him anyways. Trying to help him avoid bankruptcy? (Saturday 26 April 2014; 15:21)

Billboard (42,890) by B from USA Expect big ballads and uptempo bangers. After immersing herself in her own catalog ("a friend of mine made me a playlist with 1,000 of my songs on it called 'The Ultimate MC Audio Collection'," she says), Carey explored her feel-good, hip-hop/R&B side as well as her more introspective moments that could give her fans the best of all worlds. She's been reading the messageboards and is going to give us what we want. Big ballads and club bangers. (Friday 25 April 2014; 16:05)

Billboard (42,889) by B from USA Triumphant (Get Em) and The Art Of Letting Go were buzz songs. Not official singles. Triumphant was for Nick. The Art Of Letting Go was for the fans. Almost Home was a soundtrack song. #Beautiful and You're Mine(Eternal) are the only official singles from this album. You're Mine was a mid tempo R&B ballad that was never going to be a huge hit and she knew it. The next single will be the single that's meant to promote and carry the album. She's calling the shots. She's smart. (Friday 25 April 2014; 15:59)

Random (42,853) by B from USA Did her team release a statement or what? I'm confused? She still has her voice. I think she struggles to sing live because she has to do countless interviews before hand. I hope that she releases the album on May 6th. If she decides not to I'm fine with that too. I still believe she has her voice. The problem I have with her singles these days is the lyrics. She wrote the lyrics to her best songs all by herself. Maybe she should let go of her dependence on collaborators. No more JD, Manuel, and the countless others that cause her to deviate from her style. She needs a hit song with a hit video to promote the album, otherwise the press will dwell on the fact that the album has been delayed and that only #Beautiful achieved chart success. She needs need producers like Happy Perez, The Smeezingtons and Bruno, Calvin Harris. She needs a beat like We Found Love, yes it was EDM but it was still an R&B song. Either way I'll continue to support her and her career. Unite lambily. (Thursday 24 April 2014; 18:02)

Delayed or not (42,790) by B from USA I don't care if the album is delayed or not. What I care about is the music. I loved #Beautiful and You're Mine (Eternal) but I hated Triumphant and The Art Of Letting Go. If the album is similar to the former she should just release it, if it's the former than she should delay it and start over. She needs songs that have huge choruses that people can sing along to. She is a pop genius yet she releases songs that have no structure. She is at her best when she makes pop songs that have an urban edge. She can score a hit with the right song and video. (Tuesday 22 April 2014; 17:32)

Album title, next single, and other thoughts (42,636) by B from USA I hope the album title is short and simple. Something that is catchy but isn't childish like Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel. I loved The Emancipation of Mimi and E=MC2 but hated Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel. It was too childish. She needs a title that while still playful and young makes people take her and the album she's promoting serious. TEOM made people take her work serious as did E=MC2. Memoirs however was derided for being too long and too childish. She also needs a fresh single. An uptempo would be a welcome relieve to the countless mid tempo singles she's releases in the last decade. Critics have also said she needs to change things up a bit. She doesn't need to do something radical, she just needs to change up the type of record she releases. #Beautiful was her biggest hit in years and it had a throwback Motown sound, whereas You're Mine(Eternal) sounds like 2005 Mariah Carey. She needs a video that is an event. A video that will be played. She needs to reveal the title or the cover work asap and start doing the rounds. 20 some days until the album is released. (Tuesday 15 April 2014; 21:23)

Questions? (42,462) by B from USA Triumphant (Get Em) was a flop. #Beautiful featuring Miguel was a hit and peaked at #15 on the Billboard Hot 100 and at #3 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Tracks Chart. The Art Of Letting Go was released to the fans for the fans by Mariah on her official Facebook page. You're Mine (Eternal) is still climbing the charts. Mariah delayed her album last summer so it wouldn't be overshadowed by Kanye's Yeezus. She's smart and she's talented. She is the voice and she has written 17 #1 songs. Her talent has and is not being questioned by the media, it's her fans/stans/lambs that are doing the questioning. It's sad. She's known for being a perfectionist and working herself into the ground and yet some of you are asking where is Mariah? She's in the studio mixing her album and doing touch ups. She's also most likely working on her body with her trainer. She always makes sure her body looks amazing when she has an album dropping. (Thursday 3 April 2014; 18:51)

New era (42,443) by B from USA The last video played on VH1 this morning was You're Mine (Eternal). I loved the song the first time I heard it. It's still climbing thr charts. I think it will peak the week the album comes out. It's a great song and it was well recieved by critics including Billboard. #Beautiful and the Jeezy remix and You're Mine are great songs. I can't wait for May 6th. Counting the days. Excited. (Wednesday 2 April 2014; 20:16)

The album (42,427) by B from USA The album might be delayed with all the changes going on at Island Def Jam. Glad the new guy in charge is from The Clive Davis School of Record Executives. He respects Mariah and Kayne, she's the biggest female recording artist and he's the biggest rapper in the game. He knows how to help artist like L.A. who helped oversee The Emancipation Of Mimi and E=MC2. Excited that the guy who thinks Rhianna is the most talented female in the game is gone. All female singers today either rip of Madonna and Britney or Mariah. Beyonce is an amazing entertainer and a talented singer. She can write a good song but Mariah is the best female singer, songwriter, actress, and producer too. That's right she can act too. She won an award for her role as a social worker in Precious. Think positively. This guy knows how to use a talent to its full potential. (Tuesday 1 April 2014; 20:32)

Album title (42,402) by B from USA M or Mariah. Something short and sweet. She should keep it simple. I hated the title Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel. MC3? (Monday 31 March 2014; 15:07)
