TLC's back (74,493) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines TLC just premiered the first taste off their final studio album, you know, the one backed by a Kickstarter campaign. It sounds really good. Sleek 90s G-funk R&B jam for sure. If Mariah was going for nostalgia, it shouldn't just sound like a poor recreation of her previous hits, it should be as good as Way Back. Hear it while the link's still up. Welcome back, TLC, well done. (Friday 14 April 2017; 12:08)

You know you're a Mariah fan when... (74,492) by Anonymous from 30 friends attend your hen do wearing Mariah masks and introduce Mariah as the special guest - a large cardboard cutout with a feather bower. The highlight of the night, a private party in the casino club playing nothing but Mariah for an hour. I feel very blessed and loved that my pals despite some finding Mariah annoying got into the zone and partied like a lamb. The only thing that could have topped the night is having you guys there. Much . (Friday 14 April 2017; 10:50)

MIAMTEC (74,491) by B from USA Once #Beautiful had reached #15 on the Hot 100 and #3 on the R&B chart Mariah should have performed it on every daytime talk show and late night show and the next single should have been Make It Look Good followed by Meteorite. The final single should've been YM(E) or One More Try. If the album had been released when #Beautiful was at #15 and getting massive airplay it would have sold well. But she injured herself and decided to basically shelf the album after it was released. (Friday 14 April 2017; 05:20)

Re: New collaborators / berhana (74,470) (74,490) by B from USA She's a songwriter she'll cover a song written by someone else but she won't sing (record) a song written solely by another writer. She'd cowrite a song with another writer and has in the past. She needs to collaborate with the writes writing the best Pop R&B. Like Bruno and his team, Frank Ocean, and Miguel and Happy Perez. If she does this she'll just be updating her signature sound without sounding desperately like she cowrote and coproduced MOAIA with Tricky and The Dream because they wrote Touch My Body her previous #1.

Who's there? Stellaaaa (74,489) by Edward from USA People, the sooner you make your peace with the fact that Stella ain't going anywhere, the better for your ulcers, pacemakers, weaves, wigs, and forming wrinkles. Mariah seems to be genuinely happy with Stella. She knows everything Stella is doing, and she demonstrated that when she made that stupid comment about being foiled. This woman has inserted herself into Mariah's everyday life. Mariah would fire nannies left and right, but she won't be firing Stella's just like that, her daughters have managed to become part of the twins' and Mariah's life. Contourella is an ass kisser, and our beloved Mariah loves undivided attention disguised as loyalty. So, let's be thankful Stella doesn't know shit about music, and that she won't have any creative input in Mariah's upcoming music other than telling Mariah that everything she produces sound phenomenal even if it's just a fart. So, I'm happy at least Mariah ended that mess of pretense she had with Tanaka, and now she can focus on her music. Nothing against Tanaka, he was working all alone. Mariah just needed to keep the lie after MW was done so she wouldn't look like a liar. Mariah looks very nice in those pictures by the way, and it is also refreshing seeing Mariah on flats. I guess she can walk on those without help. (Friday 14 April 2017; 03:52)

Re: Disney (74,487) (74,488) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ugh unfortunately she was there in all her witch-y glory. Along with the whole clan. (Friday 14 April 2017; 01:00)

Re: Disney (74,484) (74,487) by Licia from USA Don't get people's hopes up. Stella was just probably chilling in the witches castle. (Friday 14 April 2017; 00:37)

Re: Disney (74,484) (74,486) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Spoke too son, the witch and her clan was there. (Friday 14 April 2017; 00:32)

Mariah Carey remake on new album (74,485) by The Real Deal from USA This should be interesting to hear, coming from the perspective of a male singer. I'm curious as to why he chose a non single. Recording artist and actor Lovari revisits the sounds of the early 90s r&b/pop realm with his forthcoming album "The Rhythm Of Life", scheduled for release in May 2017. The album contains 13 brand new songs, and in addition, includes a remake of Mariah Carey’s "Around You" (from her 1991 "Emotions" album). (Thursday 13 April 2017; 23:51)

Disney (74,484) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The new pictures of Mariah at Disney has no trace of the Bulochnikovs. There are pictures where you can see her entourage walking around her and then there's the one where they are all on a ride together and no trace of any of the Bulochnikovs. Liana is still there though. Now this isn't a confirmation that the Bulochnikovs are out of the picture (far from it since all the new "source" quotes for the tabloids scream Stella) but it's refreshing to see her with others apart from the "Bollocks-fudgeoff" clan. (Thursday 13 April 2017; 23:37)

Re: New picture (74,475) (74,483) by MusicfanJ from Germany She looks so beautiful in this new pic. I love casual Mariah. She reminds me of the look from the E=MC2. This is Mariah Carey for sure. I hope that she enjoys some free time with herself and the kids. MC the lambily love you. (Thursday 13 April 2017; 20:20)

Re: New picture (74,475) (74,482) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah is in flats, not just any flats, straight up sandals. I love it when she's casual. She's effortlessly pretty, she really doesn't need to do much. Wish I had that luck haha. I love seeing her enjoying herself with the kids, that's the most unconditional love she has experienced. (Thursday 13 April 2017; 19:44)

Hopefully (74,481) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Hopefully with all the events that have taken place in Mariah's world in the last few years she can find inspiration to write some killer songs and work with some people that can help bring her musical inspiration to life. I can only hope that she looks to work with people of quality and not with people who are of popular status currently. I'm looking forward to this new album but I hope it is worth the wait. Btw the latest pictures of Mariah are hot tamale, her weight is coming down nicely and she looks healthy. On another note Dem Kids are adorable. (Thursday 13 April 2017; 19:34)

Re: The cycle of the lambs (74,472) (74,480) by B from USA I thought YG's verses on I Don't complimented the song. Their Jimmy K performance was epic once he came back on stage and she seemed to vibe off of him. (Thursday 13 April 2017; 19:11)

New artist Leah McFall (74,479) by lil star from untied states I think some of the newer lambs would like her. There's no doubt Mariah influenced her vocal style (mainly in how she plays with her voice on record, using it as part of the background and production). But she's also found a way to change it enough to not get coping Mariah backlash. Listen to "Happy Human" and most of her covers are amazing listen to "Try Again" cover. She was on the voice and now went more independent. (Thursday 13 April 2017; 19:05)

Re: New collaborators / berhana (74,470) (74,478) by RibbonB from USA Yes I have been saying this since forever, let someone else create for her. Would be cool to hear her reinterpret a standard or two as well. (Thursday 13 April 2017; 18:27)

Re: New picture (74,468) (74,477) by RibbonB from USA And the kids look elated spending time with their mom. (Thursday 13 April 2017; 18:15)

Re: The cycle of the lambs (74,474) (74,476) by Edward from USA Amen to that. If God really had favorites, you would be the one for that comment. It's not about anything other than putting the work and making sure that what the rapper's going to say makes sense and sounds coherent. Side Effects and #Beatuful with Jeezy rapping like he meant it are examples of great rap collabos. It doesn't have to be a hit, as long as the quality and work is there. Most of Mariah's quality work weren't hits, but you can always go back and appreciate the quality on "Underneath The Stars", "Vanishing", "Side Effects", etc. One horrible choice for a rapper was for the song "Where Do The Bells Ring for Me". Tony Bennett's rapping was not good at all. (Thursday 13 April 2017; 17:40)

Re: New picture (74,473) (74,475) by Licia from USA She looks very pretty. I love Momriah. Less is definitely more. The kids are adorable as always. Roc looking like the toothless wonder boy lol. I don't like the article though. Why couldn't they just make the article about her enjoying time with her kids? Why does she have to be coping with a breakup? I get that drama sells, but sheesh they turned a cute moment into a heartbroken diva using her kids to get over Banaka Tanaka. Lol. (Thursday 13 April 2017; 16:59)

Re: The cycle of the lambs (74,472) (74,474) by Licia from USA I agree with all you've said. Those collabos just worked. I also agree that not every song needs to be turned into a rap collabo and sometimes the added raps bring nothing to the song (it definitely wasn't needed on I Don't). Nor does every song need another artist period. Even with her vocal changes she's still able to carry a song by herself and I think that's what most of us want anyway. My whole point was don't down what she does now because she's not topping the charts like she did back then. This is the same formula she's been using for years. The formula has worked more times than not. The difference between now and then is that now she's just putting together crap to get people off her back rather than putting in the work and effort that she used to and make a great music. (Thursday 13 April 2017; 16:16)

Re: New picture (74,468) (74,473) by Malcolm from Asia You can tell that she's at ease and normal because she allowed to be photographed with her other side lol. (Thursday 13 April 2017; 16:13)

Re: The cycle of the lambs (74,467) (74,472) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Honestly I enjoy her rap collaborations but only when it adds to the song but not when it feels like its forced into it. Songs like "Heartbreaker" (both versions), "Fantasy remix", "Honey (both Bad Boy and So So Def remix)", YDKWTD, "HATEU" remix, UOOMF, "Triumphant" (yes I love it) and many others seamlessly blend the rap with the other verses. But the YG rap doesn't do that for me and don't get me started on Jussie's "rap". And it's just not rap collaborations but collaborations in general, I only like it when it blends in and adds to the song, not just for the sake of doing it. Like the BGK and IAW remixes.

Re: New collaborators / berhana (74,464) (74,471) by Mara from United States That's a very good perception May. We know Mariah was seen reading a Joan Crawford book and often mentions watching Mommie Dearest not to mention how Joan was known for this glamour Hollywood diva role and we know what she went through with ageism as well as the other female actresses. I'd hate to think she knows it and tries to emulate her at all. We already know the fascination with Marilyn and Mariah. All these incredible talented actresses lived in these lonely worlds and had diamonds galore but battled their own demons behind their massive walls. Just hope MC can find the happiness she so deserves and maybe she saw that this Tanaka, billionaire's fiancé, reality star role whatever is not for her and that she really is all about the music. Come back Mariah. By the way, her recent picture looks great. She looks vibrant and yes we still have diamonds but her lady friends do look a little smaller so she may have lost a bit of weight. (Thursday 13 April 2017; 15:18)

Re: New collaborators / berhana (74,464) (74,470) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter 26 years into her career, I don't think Mariah has anything to lose by letting someone else pen her a song. I mean by now everyone knows that this woman can write and produce mega hits and songs that are fun or songs that are deep. Her ability to write and produce is well proven and people who don't already know she writes and produce are people who wouldn't even bother knowing in the future, so ya she has nothing to prove and should just let it happen atleast for maybe 1-2 songs. I mean Michael Jackson is a huge star and even he didn't write many of his songs, but no one hated on him for that, Whitney Houston isn't a song writer (as far as I know, don't kill me if I'm wrong) yet no one would judge her so Mariah doesn't need to worry. In fact she might even enjoy it if she allows it. She can tell them to mix her style with theirs so that it blends seamlessly. (Thursday 13 April 2017; 15:14)

Re: The cycle of the lambs (74,458) (74,469) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada She just doesn't seem in the mindset for something different. Not right now at least. (Thursday 13 April 2017; 15:05)
