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

Mariah's St. Jude's heart necklace charity (40,558) by B from USA She wore that necklace at the Grammy's. While accepting her awards for Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for Vision Of Love and while giving the best debut performance of any artist female or male. It's a must have for any Mariah fan. How isn't this big news with the other lambs like myself. She also wore it in the Love Takes Time video! (Tuesday 14 January 2014; 18:39)

How MC can score another #1 (40,529) by B from USA It's straightforward, heartfelt and classy. Mariah pleads with her departed lover - "When you left I lost a part of me, ot's still so hard to believe" - and the song's gentle R&B roll is perfectly understated, built from a few piano chords and a slowed-down So So Def rhythm. It has a homebody quality, almost like an autumn song would. You can imagine a split-up couple singing it quietly, separately, as the world goes on around them. She's on a porch with tea, he's stuck in traffic when he finds Mariah on the radio. It even cleverly references that feel, with Mariah finding the Bobby Womack and Babyface songs on her radio just too tough to hear. There's no tired "I tried to 2-way you" retorts, no trash-technology love affair. "I was at the grocery store and this guy had the same ring tone as you, and I cried." No, there's a classic sensibility to the lyrics and sound of "We Belong Together" that makes for perfect and perfectly universal pop/R&B songwriting. In other words, it's the jam. And there's probably a happy ending, too: Mariah's triumphant octave shift finale makes the song's title an emphatic. (Monday 13 January 2014; 1:17)

Album sales (40,510) by B from USA The best selling album of 2012 was JT's 20/20 which sold two million copies. #Beautiful the lead single (the only offical single) from her new album went Platinum. The album's second single will be released on Valentine's Day 2/14 with the album following in the spring. MC has never really had a flop. Glitter went Gold, Charmbracelet went Platinum, amd Memoirs went Gold. (Saturday 11 January 2014; 23:12)

Isaac Ortiz (40,488) by B from USA Bruno wrote When I Was Your Man, Just The Way You Are, and Grenade. He's very talented. He can write, sing, and produce, just like MC. (Thursday 9 January 2014; 17:28)

New album (40,467) by B from USA I hope MC uses the formula similar to the formula of Butterfly and its predecessor Daydream had been built on. Like The Emacipation Of Mimi and E=MC2. Just update the formula by working with current producers like Happy Perez and Bruno and his team. The only single she should keep is #Beautiful. Almost Home should be included as a bonus track. (Wednesday 8 January 2014; 21:16)

Long Ago (40,463) by B from USA I love this song. Daydream was the first album I owned. I love every song and remix. The same with Butterfly. MC's best work, ever! (Wednesday 8 January 2014; 16:33)

No, no, no (40,430) by B from USA Now That I Know, I've Been Thinking About You, and When I Saw You are three of my favorites. When I Saw You is perfection. I love Slipping Away, it should have been included but not at the expense of another song. It's what made the Always Be My Baby single a must own. I'm not a fan of Everything Fades Away. The other ballads on the album are far superior. (Monday 6 January 2014; 21:24)

Hello (40,416) by B from USA Do You Think Of Me and Slipping Away are two of Mariah's best songs but the label deemed them too urban. (Sunday 5 January 2014; 14:46)

Hello (40,385) by B from USA I'll always support Mariah. I hated Triumphant but I loved Almost Home and #Beautiful. I enjoyed The Art Of Letting Go but the lyrics were underwhelming. I hope she worked with Happy Perez on at least one or two songs. She still has the best voice in music. She will have a hit. That's why she postponed the album so that she could write a couple songs that will be strong singles. She's smart and talented and JD isn't a yes man. (Friday 3 January 2014; 17:13)

NYE (40,355) by B from USA The only problem I had was with the gloves! A new single on 2/14, I can't wait. I'm hoping for a romantic mid tempo or epic ballad with killer vocals. (Wednesday 1 January 2014; 19:43)

Calm down (40,335) by B from USA Mariah isn't stupid. She knows she needs a hit. I loved #Beautiful. It was a great R&B song and It peaked at #3 on the R&B chart. She'll bring it. (Tuesday 31 December 2013; 6:02)

Merry Christmas (40,312) by B from USA I own the dual disc album. In my opinion, this is one of MC's best albums. My top three are Merry Christmas, Daydream, and Butterfly. Charmbracelet, TEOM, and E=MC2 are my top three of the 2000's. However, each album has at least one or two songs that I love. Emotions is also a favorite. Her vocals are chill inducing. The high notes, oh how, she trills me when she does those. (Thursday 26 December 2013; 18:04)

Thoughts (40,307) by B from USA Mariah meant Migrate should have been a single from that album(E=MC2). The new album won't be her last. Her M&M diss was shade at it's best and her thoughts on Idol were spot on. Her voice is still the best, the years of wear and tear has made her voice more expressive, and as she stated she has more #1 as a producer than any producer. She's still the queen. Calm down. (Wednesday 25 December 2013; 23:06)

New album (40,263) by B from USA The album needs a new name. Something simple like Mariah. She should leave Triumphant, The Art Of Letting Go, and similar songs off the album. She should write simpler lyrics. If she wants to write personal songs, she should go the route she took with Outside, Looking In, and Close My Eyes. I miss her simple, classy, and poetic lyrics. (Thursday 19 December 2013; 16:49)

Buble's Christmas special (40,262) by B from USA Mariah did great. Her voice was strong and clear. Unlike Mary who seemed uncomfortable and awkward, she was festive and had great chemistry with Michael. (Thursday 19 December 2013; 14:33)

2/14 (40,248) by B from USA I can't wait to hear JD and MC's Valentine. (Tuesday 17 December 2013; 20:04)

Voice/vocals (40,245) by B from USA Mariah's vocal cords are fragile. It's either have the surgery or deal with a hit or miss voice. If she has the surgery, she loses her whistle register and might ruin her voice a la Julie Andrews. I'm happy with her voice as it is. (Tuesday 17 December 2013; 3:03)

NYE (40,244) by B from USA Mariah will bring her A game for the New Years Eve performance. Like she did when she sang Looking In at the MLB charity event after that lacking performance of #Beautiful. (Monday 16 December 2013; 21:55)

Mariah's voice (40,237) by B from USA Mariah sleeps in a room full of humidifiers and Dr. Kessler tends to her vocal cords. Her nodules which produce her whistle register also affect her voice. With proper rest she can still sing I mean sang. People saying her voice is shot need to understand that she's recording, doing interviews, and then performing which means her voice isn't going to be in fine form during those performances. Common sense. She takes care of her voice. To think she doesn't is foolish. She did great live on TAOLG. Even if she lost her range, she'd still have the best voice of our times simply because of her glorious tone. But she's more than her voice she's an excellent songwriter. She wrote AIWFCIY, ABMB, WBT, and Butterfly. (Sunday 15 December 2013; 17:24)

Beyonce (40,225) by B from USA She did the surprise release without any promotion because her label didn't feel she had any strong songs/singles. From what I've heard the label was right. She's an entertainer. Mariah is a singer, songwriter, and producer. I still have faith in MC's voice. She's human and her performances aren't always going to be perfect. (Saturday 14 December 2013; 19:26)

Hello (40,212) by B from USA Mariah's 200 million sold includes albums, singles, videos, and DVDs. Both Music Box and Daydream were certified Diamond for sales of 10 million in the US and both have sold 25 million [...]. Plus 13 million from her 13 platinum singles. Now add in the sales of her albums and videos and DVDs. These stats will not be duplicated, albums barely go platinum anymore. MC's legend is secure. Besides, she wrote 17 #1's. And she wasn't a featured artist on any of her hits. Who cares if the industry is a joke nowadays? (Friday 13 December 2013; 15:06)

National tree lighting (40,211) by B from USA I cringed and I cried. (Friday 13 December 2013; 14:56)

New album (40,114) by B from USA If Mariah wants a hit without giving into the electronic dance music craze, she should work with Bruno, his team The Smeezingtons, and Happy Perez. A song written by Mariah and Bruno would sound heavenly. Please JD, make this happen. If she did so, she would have the hit she desperately needs. She should start over, from scratch, but keep the old school Motown feel of #Beautiful and TAOLG. (Sunday 8 December 2013; 15:06)

Response (40,056) by B from USA Here's the thing, if there was no debate there's a problem. Debates or discussions are proof that MC's fans are passionate about her music which is her profession. Mariah has written some of the best songs of all time and she has nothing left to proof. I still believe in her talent and talent always rises to the top. (Tuesday 3 December 2013; 20:39)

TAOLG / JD (40,047) by B from USA There will be an exclusive lambs-only moment on 7/23. I think MC's original plan was to release TAOLG on 7/23 and then postponed the release until she felt better. This "single" hasn't been serviced to radio, there is no video, and there has been nothing else said. Nothing! I think JD has her working on material. He after all helped MC bring her A game for TEOM. He's going to steer her in the right direction. She'll have a single with a big, sing a long chorus, a video directed by a big name, and a slimmed down figure. (Tuesday 3 December 2013; 3:41)
