Re: E=MC2 vs. Memoirs (56,565) (56,576) by Luke from United Kingdom E=MC2 is incredible to me. It's rare I listen to almost every song on an album but with that one I do. I love it all and it sounds so fresh and modern, even now. It's always amazed me that a lot of Mariah's songs sound so timeless. With many songs and albums from years ago you can usually place what year/time frame they were made. However, Mariah's is so different. Excluding the 90's, when she started making music she was more passionate about it started to become very original and modern. I honestly think she could release E=MC2 now and it would still be a huge hit because it sounds so fresh. Like Andrew said she truely is a genius. (Thursday 10 September 2015; 21:49)

Can't nobody, can't nobody tell me nuttin' (56,575) by Andrew from UK Warren's comment is bang on the money, there. E=MC2 is an amazing album. It had energy and vision and was a stone-winner for Summer tunes. When "Can't nobody, can't nobody tell me nuttin'" kicks in I'm always beaming, without fail. Memoirs is elevator music. It's almost sounds like one long dull song. That being said, Angels Cry is art (not the terrible cut-and-paste duet with cheap video added). When "I know I can stand, just pull me back up" kicks in, I'm filled with the joy of what I know Mariah Carey can do. I actually feel a swell of energy in my body. "I shoulda had another mechanic under my hood" is absolutely genius. Very, very often, MC is just genius. And sometimes she's almost genius and it's kind of frustrating. E=MC2 is better than The Emancipation Of Mimi. And that's saying something. But Memoirs is better than Charmbracelet. And that's really not saying much. (Thursday 10 September 2015; 20:42)

Re: E=MC2 vs. Memoirs (56,565) (56,574) by Warren from Trinidad & Tobago E=MC2 is probably one of my fave MC albums ever. One of the first times I never skipped a track or two when listening. I can listen to that album from beginning to end comfortably. I love the flow and the song sequencing is the best she's ever done. (Thursday 10 September 2015; 18:35)

Re: Raven Symone made a great point (56,564) (56,573) by Travon..SweetSweetFantasy from USA Mariah took too long of a break to begin with (2010-2014) and I don't think she will take 4 years again to release new material. That is why AI was a mistake. She needed to use that time and devote it completely to music. She didn't and we are where we are now. This is Mariah Carey's decision. It amazes me that we all were wanting an album last year. We received a critically acclaimed album but it didn't sell well. Keep in mind Mariah doesn't have a direct fan base. Her fans are all over. The fact that she can sell 250,000-500,000 copies WW of any album without promoting the project, shows that she is very relevent. Janet Jackson, Madonna, and Celine Dion are older artists and past their prime. They use their back catalouges and it's the only thing that really works for them now. Mariah doesn't need a tour nor publicity stunts to sell records. Mariah needs to reinvent and reorganize where her career is at this point, make changes where they fit, and actually market her music better. She is still, by age, in her prime and has more chances of making a hit than miss career. (Thursday 10 September 2015; 18:31)

Re: E=MC2 vs. Memoirs (56,571) (56,572) by B from USA E=MC2. Side Effects, Migrate, I'm That Chick, For The Record, and Thanks 4 Nothing. (Thursday 10 September 2015; 14:09)

Re: E=MC2 vs. Memoirs (56,565) (56,571) by darrian liu from taiwan I prefer E=MC2. However, imo Memoirs is more cohesive overall, while E=MC2 felt like a greatest hits album. Both are great albums imo. I live for Up Out My Face though. The Lego lyric was epic. (Thursday 10 September 2015; 12:13)

Re: E=MC2 vs. Memoirs (56,565) (56,570) by Giovanni from USA Both are lackluster to me. I feel Mariah didn't deliver good musically. Most of the songs on both albums are kind of silly. "The Emancipation Of Mimi" is Mariah's ultimate album. Now that she's back with Sony I'm hoping she'll give us another on the same level if not better. (Thursday 10 September 2015; 10:54)

Re: E=MC2 vs. Memoirs (56,565) (56,569) by Jamie from UK I love both but E=MC2 has to be my favourite, each song is so strong and there's not one track I dislike. Memoirs when it was released I was disappointed with as on first listen I couldn't differentiated between the songs, but then it grew on me and also love this album but over all for song favourites it has to be E=MC2. I got to speak to her during this album era and she looked extra amazing too. (Thursday 10 September 2015; 10:35)

Infinity remix? (56,568) by Jamie from UK Whatever happened to the Infinity remix we got a leak of the other week? I wasn't actually that keen on it tbh but wondered if anyone knew of the plans if any for it. (Thursday 10 September 2015; 10:30)

Ellen has judging AI as one of her worst decisions (56,566) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End So Ellen DeGeneres was on Howard Stern's radio show and had nothing but superlatives to say about her time on American Idol. Howard: "Did you hate judging 'American Idol'?" Ellen: "Yes. That's one of the worst decisions I've made." Robin: "Why did you want to do it in the first place?" Ellen: "As a fan of the shows, it doesn't matter that I sing or I know anything about pitch or anything, I'm like everybody else at home. It's 'American Idol.' So I thought I'm gonna represent those people at home that have opinions, but then I just thought, like Howard says, I can't break this person's heart. Let somebody else do that." Ain't it funny how Mariah kinda started a trend in exposing the false Idols of reality competitions? When will your lesser faves? (Thursday 10 September 2015; 8:37)

E=MC2 vs. Memoirs (56,565) by enwar00 from usa Thanks to everyone who posted regarding Rainbow vs. Charmbracelet recently. I mentioned they were next to each other in my list of favorite MC albums, and they are, as my least two favorites. I go back and forth with which one I like more. I enjoyed reading the responses, so moving on I thought I'd get the MCA Lambily's take on two of MC's more recent albums that were released in close proximity of each other, E=MC2 and Memoirs. Both seem to be polarizing among fans, but I was wondering, which do you prefer? (Thursday 10 September 2015; 8:22)

Raven Symone made a great point (56,564) by Warrior Butterfly from USA I've been itching for Janet Jackson ever sense I heard of her come back. "This woman is a genius, Janet said I'm famous as all can be, but I'm gonna leave and let you miss me and then comeback. You X-Artist need to go away let me miss you and then come back, come back and go on stage." - Raven Symone The View. Janet was MIA for seven years, seven fans even made a missing poster. https://twitter. Mariah baby, I love you, you are the soundtrack to my life but go away completely as in [...] and punch us in the face. It's been one year since MIAM, hold out for 6+ more an mother lamb will fly, why? Because she will be truly missed. I truly missed JJ because I honestly thought she retired, now I'm all giddy about her now. MC in the 90's, her release date was how I knew the year was coming to an end to predictable. Let's really miss Mariah not as in the next compilation with a bonus track no [...]. (Thursday 10 September 2015; 7:25)

Re: Missing Lamb (56,545) (56,563) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada I have been curious too. Sweet message, B. (Thursday 10 September 2015; 7:13)

Game of War (56,562) by Mara from United States Has anyone heard anything more on this? Any updates on what it could involve musically or image wise? I hope it's still in the works. (Thursday 10 September 2015; 5:40)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey shows off the family jewels (56,554) (56,561) by Lee TS from USA I believe she also wore that for her Paris vow renewal. I don't know why she wears it. (Thursday 10 September 2015; 3:35)

Re: Filipino Lambs (56,558) (56,560) by Warrior Butterfly from USA Thank you lamb. (Thursday 10 September 2015; 2:36)

Re: This is QHM, Warrior, Deedra, Mimi L (56,557) (56,559) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha you are right, it didn't match. I think the only time it matched was when she wore the same necklace (or a similar one) for her vow renewals in Paris, where she wore the white fishtail gown. Oh wait, it also looked good at the Rockefeller event. Although that night she had another major fashion faux pas with her fake tan (notice the glove region, tan mishap). I also agree that the choker she wore with the pink dress went with the dress. I liked the pink dress, the waterfall slit gave it a fun meets formal look. Sometimes she goes overboard with the accessories. Like big chunky diamond pieces with very casual attire (like the tank top moment this time). (Thursday 10 September 2015; 1:48)

Re: Filipino Lambs (56,541) (56,558) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada WarriorButterfly, I did a quick google search, Kyla has a facebook page, a management based website, and she has several albums listed on iTunes. (Wednesday 9 September 2015; 23:58)

This is QHM, Warrior, Deedra, Mimi L (56,557) by JAXGH from United States This is qhm, aw thanks so much. I've checked out Regine and Morisette and they are such amazing power belters. Morisette has good stage presence. Nina has a soft nice tone too. But you are right, Kyla comes close, she also has the melismatic singing gift and the buttery tone. Yay for lambs being successful singers. I want to be their friends lmao. I think Philippines has a great gift of music. I heard of Kyla through Brian McKnight so I guess he also appreciates it. Thanks for explaining it. I'm 1/6 Filipino so I truly appreciate the effort. I've always wondered how music is like there. Truthfully I think some of them can even make it big internationally with the right people. I think Kyla's voice is a mix of Mimi and Beyonce, Rnb princess is well deserved. Warrior, I have no clue but I've seen some compilations of her songs on YouTube. And right? She seemed to be lipping but it's so live. Deedra, it really is. Yeah I have not heard one person give justice to Butterfly, actually I don't know anyone who dared to sing that song except Kyla. She did fab. Mimi L, I really agree, Necklace has to go. She also used it at a dinner with Courtney Love, it didn't match. She seems to be a fan of chest plate necklaces. Though I think when she used one at GMA this year with long pink dress, it really complimented the outfit. (Wednesday 9 September 2015; 22:10)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey shows off the family jewels (56,554) (56,556) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Yes you are right, that necklace is not new. Nowadays these news outlets just make up stuff and pass them off as stories. However fashion advice for Mariah, that necklace does not go with that tank top. But I like her tank top though. (Wednesday 9 September 2015; 18:07)

Re: Filipino Lambs (56,541) (56,555) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Wow. I'm a pretty avid follower of music, not sure how I missed Kyla, but the clarity in her tone is so beautiful. I have heard many cover Mariah over the years but her version of Butterfly is really beautiful. (Wednesday 9 September 2015; 17:27)

Article: Mariah Carey shows off the family jewels (56,554) by Gilles from Malta If I do remember well she had that necklace for the Rockefeller Christmas show last year. (Wednesday 9 September 2015; 16:44)

Rare I Still Believe (Together Remix) (56,553) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End I've never heard this remix before and it's brilliant. Krayzie Bone and Mariah are Magical together. Like, when will your lesser faves ever have so many amazing unreleased tracks 25 years into their career? These things make me so happy. (Wednesday 9 September 2015; 16:16)

Re: Why You Mad? choreography (56,548) (56,552) by Lee TS from USA Talking about Why You Mad, is she ever going to release the song? I guess it was only a TMZ exclusive, did iTunes not want to carry it? Catch that. Lol no but that was a complete and total mess in fact. Please never release any footage she might've done for the supposed video. Let's move on to Christmas with the movie, book, and shows. (Wednesday 9 September 2015; 15:28)

Lee Ts (56,551) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter If you want the full performance, it's here. (Wednesday 9 September 2015; 15:23)
