About Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End: What the hell is this, MyFace? You mess with MiMi, you mess with ME! #NuffSaid khassandras@gmail.com My MC 2015 fantasy wish list (48,007) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End (Saturday 22 November 2014; 3:07) PREFACE I started out wanting to make or update my previous wish list to realizing that I'm not really that hung up on Mariah accomplishing more than she already has. That's not to say that I will not celebrate in her future commercial endeavors, obviously. Just that it's not as important as being truly spiritually fulfilled. I wish that for myself and I pray that for other people that I love and even people I don't know or have a natural liking for. I understand that not everybody is going to get why I feel the need to post this but I would reference Mariah's own expressed Faith and core beliefs and desires since the world first heard 'Vision of Love'. This is who she has always been striving to become. I recently reread Her autobiography: 'The Meaning of Mariah Carey' and these are some of the thoughts I came away with: "Hopes, Dreams, Wishes, and Prayers for Mariah Carey: 1. Spiritual Fulfillment - That she continues to nurture her relationship with God, leaning on Him for guidance, peace, and joy in all aspects of her life. 2. A Godly Marriage - That she finds a partner who shares her faith, values, and desire to honor God in their union. 3. Healing and Restoration - That the scars from her past—whether from childhood or past relationships—are fully healed, allowing her to live with peace and joy unshaken by old wounds. 4. Authentic Love and Support - That she surrounds herself with people who truly love, respect, and support her for who she is, beyond her celebrity persona. 5. Grace to Be Human - That she is shown grace and understanding by others, allowing her to make mistakes, grow, and evolve without judgment or undue criticism. 6. Freedom from Worldly Pressures - That she finds liberation from the entertainment industry’s materialistic and superficial values, allowing her to fully embrace her God-given identity. 7. Purposeful Legacy - That she continues to use her platform and music to inspire others and share the presence of God, as she has done through her Christmas albums and other works. 8. A Loving and Faith-Centered Family - That her family relationships, including with her children, remain strong, loving, and centered on mutual faith and respect. 9. Unwavering Faith - That she remains steadfast in her faith, even when faced with life’s challenges, and continues to be a beacon of hope for others. 10. Divine Guidance - That she discerns God’s will in her decisions, whether in her personal life or professional endeavors, and trusts His plan for her. " In Jesus Almighty name, Amen.

LC and NyHotShotta / Me. I am Mariah... Full of Grace (48,713) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Thank you guys for those illustrative videos. We all know who is in denial and has delusions of the real state of Mariah's vocals and it's not anyone in the Lambily. But you better believe I'll find great pleasure in the fact that they will go out of their way to avoid addressing the obvious facts that Mariah hits the same notes through every era as if time has somehow stopped for her. Her tone has matured, acquired even more depth, like fine wine but she's kept her vocals in great condition and her range not just in tact but perhaps even more elastic. She deserves to get an honorary degree from Juliard or something for sustaining this level of excellence for over 25 years as a professional singer. Yet they continue to call it a lie when the 100% truth is that Mariah Carey sounds in some respects better than she ever has since her debut. They are simply dishonest and therefore irrelevant to any real discourse. None the less, it's more than a little amusing to watch them contort and twist into every balloon animal imaginable except the proverbial elephant in the room. It's not that Mariah has never fallen down, made mistakes or done every single thing perfectly. It's how gracefully she lands and resiliently picks herself up again that is such a treat. I'm a lamb and I'm proud. (Monday 22 December 2014; 12:07)

Team Mariah prepping/sound checking back stage, warming and stretching her vocals before the 4th Beacon show (48,686) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Yes Mariah, if you got it flaunt it. Also, a negative Lamb is an oxymoron. You're either a lamb or a moron on oxy. Meanwhile, Mimi is snatching everybody's lives, wrapping it in her custom holiday-paper and giving it back, all in time for Christmas. (Sunday 21 December 2014; 11:43)

ktktkt, enwar00 and Mariah Carey showing off at the 3rd Beacon Christmas concert (48,653) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Yes, Mariah is that chick that actually sounds better than when she hatched 12 long years ago. Not to quote myself but: Mariah's in great vocal shape and always has been. Pull out them crickets and act like you hear because at this point you have to actively want her to fail you refuse to acknowledge that fact. Don't be mad at us lambs that your bullshit arguments stink. That's what happens when your only sustenance comes from tabloids, gossipmongers, rumourmills and the Chinese whispers of fellow haters. Haters like calling us lambs delusional for standing by Mariah yet they never have anything to say when they see a video like the one you posted KT. Just watch them all ignore that marvellous tone, fluidity, agility and plain ridiculous musical genius with which she sang on the 18th at the Beacon. I'm just praying Team Mariah knows hpw to document these shows if only for her legacy. Enwar, we all know the haters' predictable and dull scripts by now. I'd be surprised if half of the so called "realists" on this board even thumb that video up. It's laughable how it is said with such certainty that Mariah Carey can't sing anymore. That she needs to seriously consider surgery because of her nodules and blah blah blah. Imagine if she ever listened to any of the noxious advice with built in negative assumptions about her? If you walk like a duck and talk like a duck? Chances are, you're a duck. Hit ducks are known to quack.. This message was brought to you by: Pink Yet Lavender. (Saturday 20 December 2014; 5:33)

MIAMTEC is #7 on Idolator editors favorite 10 of 2014's best albums (48,628) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End "Spare us the over-the-top grief about Mimi’s All I Want For Christmas Is You performance: She’s been using those golden pipes for over 20 years, and she’s still supplying greatness today. Case in point? Me. I Am Mariah…The Elusive Chanteuse, her most insanely-titled record to date, and certainly one of her most true to her artistry." Hmmm, the delusional lambs really do get around, don't they? Anita Baker, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Marc Shaiman, Debbie Gibson, Britney Spears, not to mention the Lambily Fanguard of which I am a proud member. Pretty good company if you ask me. If you're not on Team Mariah then guess what? Christmas came early this year and I say, good riddance. (Friday 19 December 2014; 3:50)

Do you still beat your wife and other designed-to-fail questions (48,606) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Weeks ago a poster popped up out of the clear blue to ask me: "Are you always that angry?" That was it, no actual reference to anything I had written or anyone else's posts. So it was obviously just their own weak attempt at projecting an unfavourable image onto me, painting me as "always angry" just by the framing of that in this open forum. It's a trick lesser journalists will use to incriminate their subject and conjure up sensationalism where there otherwise isn't. So when I saw this exchange by Marissa: "I'm with Randy. If everything is fine with MC's career and image and nothing needs to be changed, why is her name constantly being dragged through the mud and why doesn't she get the same respect that Aretha, Patti, and Barbra were getting at her age?", I had a bit of déjà vu. How do you answer a question with that much built in assumption without hanging yourself? The assumptions being: 1. Mariah is 100% at fault for any and all slander she surfers from the general public. 2. Mariah has lost all the hard earned respect she has earned for over 25 years in the business. 3. Other divas never suffer at the hands of the public and are always respected in the entertainment industry no matter age. 4. Every single piece of information we hear about Mariah is 100% true, especially if someone who doesn't know her or is "Incognito" claims it. 5. Mariah can't be trusted to handle her own affairs and needs to be micromanaged down to the color of her panties. (Thursday 18 December 2014; 15:02)

Mariah Carey - Christmas Special 2014 (full concert) in Beacon Theater December 16 2nd day live (48,595) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Thank you Lord for this amazement just uploaded. Enjoy, I know I will. I'm so excited. *squeee* (Thursday 18 December 2014; 3:13)

Shelly, WW and DJ (48,593) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Listen, WW is especially foul because she always misrepresents one of her producers as an in-house lamb so she can get away with telling blatant lies. She's basically using us dedicated fans to help smear Mariah's good name and lend her ridiculous, oft even slanderous tabloid storytelling, the credence it so obviously lacks. I rebuke it as thoroughly as I'm sure Mariah does. Like you, my heart aches for MiMi to the point where I dread the day Derek Jeter decides to really settle down with a girl not named Mariah. If it's meant to be we'll know soon enough because if he cares for her even half as much as I suspect Mariah still cares for him, he will reach out to her somehow. Maybe not in the whirl of things but eventually. No matter what, Mariah will love again. That's who she is. (Thursday 18 December 2014; 2:53)

Bill, MimiLamb, John John, Gilles, Nikki, RJJ12, Otti, Mara, B, Luke, Manny, Jared and lamb (48,590) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End I appreciate reading your positive posts. There will always be some ducks on here who act like everything is horrible when the rest of us know for a fact that they aren't. I'll take optimism over doubt any day. Because guess who else lives by that mantra? Mariah Carey. Shocking, I know. But some will always wear their beer goggles and not see reality for what it is; a creative product of unbridled imagination. We're so lucky that we still have Mariah giving us, if not her all then at the very least her best. When most people would have cowered away and been perfectly justified in doing so, she will stand on stage singing her heart out for us to the point where she is brought to tears. Letting all the world see her being so vulnerable is braver than most of us would ever be. If there ever was a time, now is the time we, the Lambily, should shower her with our love and dedication. I trust Mariah Carey to know a 120% what to do with her own life before I ever let random, caustic, anonymous posters dictate anything regarding the supposed reality about someone as inspirational and uplifting as Mariah has been to me for most of my life. Like, why you try so damn hard? (Thursday 18 December 2014; 2:27)

Signature songz (48,582) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Yes, that's songs with a Z. Mariah is quite simply an embarrassment of riches because one can argue she has unlikely signature songz like "Oh Holy Night" that have been around for over a century which has been sung a million ways from here to every Sunday. Yet, hers is now the standard, the benchmark from which all other singers will be measured for as long as anyone who ever heard her rendition is alive. It's always credited as "Mariah Carey's, Oh Holy Night". So ironic that songs she actually does write herself she often has to claim publicly just so people can know she crafted them from scratch. But I digress, I'm talking about MC's signature songs and their abundance. Let's not even talk about "Without You" or (in no particular order): 1. AIWFCIY 2. Anytime You Need A Friend 3. Hero 4. One Sweet Day 5. Emotions 6. Vision of Love 7. We Belong Together 8. Fantasy 9. Butterfly 10. Always Be My Baby I'm sure every lambs list differs a little bit but I doubt it's by very much. Tis the season y'all, so be jolly. (Thursday 18 December 2014; 0:02)

New AIWFCIY acoustic guitar version with unheard vocal adlibs (48,580) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End It's so incredible how this guy managed to get a hold of what must be Mariah's original master from either '94 or '10 to do such a stellar remix. You guys just have to hear the genius of it all. The jazzy improvs? It's absolutely brilliant. (Wednesday 17 December 2014; 23:28)

Mariah Carey is perfect at being Mariah Carey (48,533) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End She doesn't need to change one hair on her head, one note in her songs, one lyric in her catalogue, one glove on her hand, one flick of her wrist, one swerve of her hips, one slit of her dress, one heel of her shoe or anything else you seem to hate that makes her 100% Mariah Carey. It's a little late to be giving her advise when she's been doing everything right all her life. Not always perfect, but right. Everything she does, she puts her heart and soul into. That's why she was ever successful in the first place, not because of some algorithm of strategic moves designed to get people to like her. 18 #1's, singer songwriter of "Song of the Decade" twice, writer of the last Christmas classic AIWFCIY, pioneer of the HipPop merger, a favourite amongst her peers, her idols and aspiring singers yet still the one to beat even after 25 years in the business. But somehow Mariah is in dire need of your wisdom? Don't make me laugh, bless your little hearts. Please find time to enjoy the Beacon performances, just a tiny bit, inbetween all your grinching. Merry Christmas Mariah, show them how it's done. (Tuesday 16 December 2014; 6:34)

AIWFCIY is back at #8 on Swedish iTunes (48,519) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End It's been the top Christmas song this year even though it's the oldest on the chart. Mariah is still the one to beat 20 years in the Christmas game. You gotta love that. (Monday 15 December 2014; 8:20)

MIAMTEC makes iTunes best of 2014 R&B albums (48,518) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Yay. Did you guys catch that? I'm really optimistic Mariah will give this epic LP its just dues before moving on to her next project. It's not right to let it go without people really hearing it. I want a BET unplugged to showcase Mariah's voice because her lyrical artistry as well as her musicianship as it is right now. This is Mariah at her best since I don't know when. But yeah, just wanted to share what I found out on Twitter with you guys. Happy Mariah Carey. (Monday 15 December 2014; 7:24)

Dennis, B and the Merry Christmas musical (48,470) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Will Mariah use any ideas from her Christmas themed musical project for Broadway during these shows? That's a very good question Dennis. Maybe Mariah is actually preparing for Broadway with these back to back performances at the Beacon Theatre? It would explain why she thinks nothing of adding two consecutive dates just based on the high demand for tickets. Well done, you might have just cracked the code. Now, B is also right to worry, Broadway is a sport in many ways. But because of the nature of a Christmas musical being really only doable late November-December it wouldn't be quite as grueling. Mariah proved she only gets better with practice on TECS so I have no doubt she can pull it off brilliantly. Also, she would get to sleep at home amid humidifiers galore. I'm sure she would deck out whichever venue she ends up at with humidifiers etc. in her dressing-room. Also, Broadway is about the ensemble cast, so Mariah wouldn't have to carry the show all alone. Wow, if this turns out to be true beyond speculation, It's a surefire hit. Mariah would end up with a at least a Tony nomination, she's a great writer after all. But I really look forward to her comedic acting. I've decreed that this has to happen now. In fact it's all I want for Christmas. Someone tweet Marc Shaiman, he has to be Mariah's partner in this. Sweet Jesus, make it happen. (Friday 12 December 2014; 2:27)

Welcome back RJJ12 (48,468) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End It was about time too. I can't believe you managed a whole month without the internet, bravo for that alone. About your observation that the board is slightly different than a month ago: I think more lambs showed up and showed out because of the Rockefeller event to defend Mariah because she was being treated so unfairly in the media, social or otherwise. Not to mention on YouTube, other forums as well as message boards across the internet. Of course, the haters that be stayed loyal to their cause of bashing Mariah at all costs, so naturally they rejoiced over all the negative attention. But like you so keenly pointed out there has been a lot more good, uplifting posts drowning out the bad than the other way around. It's why I tried to list all the positive lambs but had to give up midway because we were just that many. That put things back into perspective for me. Love is all around. Happy Christmas everyone. (Friday 12 December 2014; 1:28)

AIWFCIY is #8 on Swedish iTunes / The Beacon (48,435) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End But Merry Christmas is down from last week's high of #12 to #62. Still, it's remarkable how more people downloaded All I Want For Christmas since the Rockefeller event. It had dropped to just #17 right before ask hell broke loose. I guess Mariah will just have to take it any way she can get it. Also, BET need to televise at least one of the Beacon Shows or better yet, live stream it. (Wednesday 10 December 2014; 6:20)

Nikki and Grammys (48,430) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End It is quite odd how thoroughly Mariah was shut out from that particular award, isn't it? No offence to Mariah's debut album or TEOM but she's had better artistic albums even by her own measure. Butterfly [...] now MIAMTEC comes to mind. Not even a single nomination in the R&B categories for 2015? Who else is when bothering to make the kind of grown R&B records that Mariah does? Very few, that's who. Everybody else sound like, everybody else. That's why I was over the moon when she did #Beautiful with Miguel since he's one, if not the only, other artist actually making real R&B. I used to wish they'd collaborate back when I first heard Adorn. They need to do more songs together. Also, Tommy apparently wanted to fashion his relationship with Mariah based on Celine [...] Rene's as well as Gloria [...] Emilio's. But both Celine [...] Gloria have a healthy power dynamic and autonomy with their husbands. There's is no boss telling their spouse what to do, say, act, wear, sing, write or who to socialise and work with in their relationship. Considering how desperate Tommy was, about keeping Mariah insecure, I'm not surprised about why she was shut out of The Grammys for the entire run of their relationship. If you get it, you get it. If you don't? Oh well. (Wednesday 10 December 2014; 1:37)

AIWFCIY is #11 on Swedish iTunes (48,382) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Yay. Seems even bad press can't hold her down for long. Lol she was just #17 before yet now the song is actually up from the earlier high of #12. Merry Christmas lambs. (Sunday 7 December 2014; 19:44)

Brava, brava twothousandeighthundrednineteen times over, yayMariah (48,381) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End TiffMelody, thanks for that post. Sometimes it feels like there are more haters on here than lambs but it's really just the opposite. Thank you to all the rest of you for showing love, support but also appreciation that Mariah Carey is sill here instead of wishing her away. We about that lamb life. (Sunday 7 December 2014; 19:08)

Billy and Make It Look Good MCIIY T-shirt (48,349) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Mariah was pregnant then [...] thus too big for her normal wardrobe. Me thinks that T is TeenNick's. One of those that you can buy all over NY like: I'm with stupid, don't shoot. [...] My boyfriend's gay. Let someone tell me again how MIAMTEC isn't all about the great abandoner. Nice catch Billy. (Saturday 6 December 2014; 17:14)

The time for Mariah is now (48,346) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End 1. DemBabies haven't started school yet [...] won't for a good while. How many kids get to kindergarten in all corners of the world? 2. She's still in [...] good voice when the stars align. 3. The divorce is almost over [...] done with so she'll soon be officially single again. 4. Remember how Mariah used to release an album a year in the 90's? Presence never hurt any artist. It's when you go away that the sharks start circling your catamaran, tasting your blood is in the water, even though you're alive [...] well. She needs to reassert herself as Head Diva O' The Day, Mariah's nobody's shrinking violet. 5. MIAMTEC is still virtuality unheard. No videos other than the tour concert clips. So Team Mariah could start promoting it all over again if done right. Sleeper hits still happen so why not Mariah. 6. Why should Mariah be forced to retire at 44 when Aretha, Patti, Celine, Tina, Diana, Shania, Barbra [...] Shirley are still being celebrated, lauded and releasing new albums? Even Madonna who is no where near the singer Mariah is still make music, tours [...] works on films. Why not Mariah? 7. Just like Debbie Gibson shared in her beautiful letter Mariah told a journalist: if Debbie can do it [...] she's young, then why not me? Yes Mariah, why not you? (Saturday 6 December 2014; 15:38)

Gloria, Mistaken, Will, DK, Brad, Deedre, Ryan, Otti, R&B Junkie, John John, Ernesto (48,333) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Et al. Thanks for showing up [...] refusing to drink the stale kool-aid from 1990 that's been making the rounds in the media about Mariah. Back then the talk was it wasn't even her singing her own songs [...] then it was that she couldn't sing live. Then she was accused of oversinging [...] just showing off. Now it's the blatant in your face lie that she's lost her voice, overnight, like freaking Ariel the mermaid? Where were they just a few weeks ago when Mariah had us feeling Emotions like it was 1991 on The Elusive Chanteuse Tour? The haters that be, want it to be true so bad they go around harassing lambs calling us delusional [...] wishing alcoholism on her. Apropos of Thirsty things, have any of you tried the Butterfly drink? We don't have it here in Europe yet, or do we? (Saturday 6 December 2014; 4:03)

Martyn, Marc Shaiman and that other [censored] (48,330) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Yeah, that was me fangurling over Marc Shaiman below. Who wouldn't after this nice letter he posted on Facebook? Mariah is very aware of the comments, allegedly she posted this on Twitter: "I'm fighting a cold. Give me a break" [...] someone screencapped it before it got deleted. Probably haters attacking her under the guise of fandom. Then the champion of all fools went on Twitter [...] said this: "Mariah Carey, wish I could have been there to help. Lets talk." Where was all this altruistic caring in 1997 [...] through all her troubles with Tommy [...] Sony? Such opportunistic behaviour has rarely been seen since MJ [...] that's saying something. [...] (Saturday 6 December 2014; 3:05)

Carol from Spain / wake up and smell the smear campaign (48,276) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Your post is perfect. Mariah was never cut any slack all the way back to her debut. Then things got worse on the tabloid end when she left Tommy, only to culminate in her exiting Sony because of his strategic sabotage of the Glitter soundtrack. Vicious, hateful people were so ready for Mariah to quietly lay down [...] die. But she made it through the rain with Charmbracelet [...] and her most extensive world tour that still gets lauded by fans as some of her best live vocals. We all know what TEOM did for her with WBT becoming the song of the decade. When E=MC2 came along her whole life changed. Marriage, with the sole purpose of starting a family. Also, Mariah was finally getting acting recognition in Hollywood courtesy of Lee Daniels. Enter DemBabies [...] it was like Christmas in Mariah's life. That's also when negative stories start spreading like wild fire on blogs [...] forums again. Then AI happened with all its artificial intelligence courtesy of the producers and Roman's revenge. It didn't matter that MC was looking like a million dollars after just having had twins, charting worldwide with #Beautiful [...] slaying it live even after nearly breaking her neck in her fab armslings. After many delays MIAMTEC comes along [...] the label won't support it? The abandoner leaks the divorce [...] gets all the sympathy? MC tours Asia/Oceania successfully only to be ridiculed by her own countrymen for singing AIWFCIY a song she wrote? Something's rotten in Denmark [...] I can smell it from here. (Friday 5 December 2014; 14:16)

B, Mara and Lambily vs the haters that be (48,275) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End B, I totally understand if you need a break but don't let them break you. That's what THTB want. Doesn't it make you admire Mariah even more for taking these harsh unjustified criticisms all her life and turning them into Vision Of Love, Vanishing, Make It Happen, The Wind, Hero, Anytime You Need A Friend, One Sweet Day, I Am Free, Looking In, Butterfly, Outside, Close My Eyes, Can't Take That Away, Petals, The Rainbow Interlude, Through The Rain, My Saving Grace, Sunflowers For Alfred Roy, Fly Like A Bird, Side Effects, I Wish You Well, Languishing, Cry, Faded, Camouflage, Supernatural, The Art Of Letting Go, 100%, Almost Home, Right To Dream, I Pray, Imperfect and even Triumphant? *plays Heavenly (No ways tired)* Wishing you all a very merry Christmas. We love you Mariah, don't let the haters drown you in their negativity. Thanks for joining the ranks again Mara, there can never be took many Warrior Lambs United. (Friday 5 December 2014; 12:57)
