Messageboard

RIP Chris Lighty (36,216) by RibbonB from USA Wow, devastating, but confirmed news that Chris Lighty is dead. Supposedly self-inflicted. We never know what anyone is going through. We should all show more compassion and respect for others, especially those we claim to admire. So many demands and so much drama become so petty, especially at times like these.

Licia/duets (36,215) by Jenny from South Africa Hi Licia. I would die of happiness if she duetted with Celine. I'd also like to see her sing with Toni Braxton, Beyonce, Enrique, Shakira. Also Mary J Blige. George Michael. Maybe Elton John. (Thursday 30 August 2012; 20:17)

People I would love Mc to sing with (36,214) by Licia from USA I was just sitting here going through my iPod and it got me to thinking about all the people that I would love for MC to duet with. My top choice is Faith Evans. 2. Alicia Keys 3. Tamia (she's so underrated and unappreciated) 4. Deborah Cox 5. Mary j. Bilge (I'm still wanting to hear the remix they did together) 6. Jazmine Sullivan (that voice is pure magic) 7. Baby Face (they have sang on one another's songs but never an actual duet) 8. Charlie Wilson (look him up lol) 9. Maxwell (that song would be extra grown and sexy) 10. Yolanda Adams There's so many more but I' ll stop before I flood the messageboard lol . What are some picks from you all?

Is Mariah bringing old school classic with an edge? (36,213) by Jay lynch from Australia Hello all the lambs aound the world. Do you think Mariah is bringing old school classic Mariah to the new album? I hope so. I hope it has a new edge but still classic Mariah we all love. Does anyone know if Mariah teamed up with Walter A. to make music that is magic together? I hope so. Looking forward to the new album. I've got a great feeling it's going to be a smash. We love you Mariah for inspiring us all. We, the lambs, appreciate your unconditional love for music. (Thursday 30 August 2012; 16:33)

Special K (36,212) by Stephen from London, United Kingdom I suspect Mariah will do a Triumphant medley, followed by something old school, to hopefully set the tone of her new album. I'd love for her to throw a curve ball and perform Vision of Love, which she hasn't performed for a while, as far as I can remember. (Thursday 30 August 2012; 13:13)

TJ/Stacey (36,211) by Licia from USA Thanks TJ. @Stacey Now I don't feel so alone lol (Thursday 30 August 2012; 3:41)

Licia (36,210) by Stacey from USA Don't feel to old. I was 13 in 1990 when VOL was released. I didn't discover MC for another few years. So, it's all good. (Wednesday 29 August 2012; 22:53)

Divo/NFL Kickoff/Webmaster (36,209) by Special K from USA Thanks Divo Hmm, I wonder what song or songs Mariah is going to perform. Something a little uptempo I'm sure. Eric, this messageboard rocks! Thank you for being you. (Wednesday 29 August 2012; 22:31)

Mariah adores Roc (36,208) by Lyric from USA I've noticed that Mariah posts more pictures of her and Roc. You know how mothers feel about their sons! I bet Monroe will be a daddy's girl. The kids are cute and growing up so fast. (Wednesday 29 August 2012; 21:51)

Gilbert (36,207) by Stacey from USA You're welcome. I have one daughter and a son and they are great. My son just took his first steps yesterday so that was exciting. I see Roc and Roe walking and my son is older than they are, lol. It's a fun age. (Wednesday 29 August 2012; 18:44)

I like Licias message to Spee (36,206) by TJ from Norway I just had to mention it! (Wednesday 29 August 2012; 18:06)

video release (36,205) by RibbonB from USA I meant to say Meek Mill and a thousand people in his crew performed the day the video was released. (Wednesday 29 August 2012; 17:47)

Is Mariah bringing it old school to her new album (36,204) by Jay lynch from Australia Is Mariah going to bring the old school classic Mariah we all love in her new album coming out early next year? Does anyone know if Mariah and Walter got together to make magic with the new album? (Wednesday 29 August 2012; 17:22)

Meriweatherc86 (36,203) by RibbonB from USA Regarding radio promo, Mariah did a joint radio/media conference with over 300 outlets at once. It actually was big news and was very effective. She is managing her time and this process very effectively. This song alone is getting more twitter hype than Memoirs got. And it is getting more participation from her dj friends. I am glad Mariah is promoting smart. Meek Mill and his crew peformed on 106 and Park the day the single was released and Meek was there to promote it. Radio adds to rhythmic stations are slowly improving week by week. (Wednesday 29 August 2012; 17:09)

Spee Vale (36,202) by Licia from USA Spee, I don't think anybody here cares whether you are gay or not. It's all love and it shouldn't matter. (Wednesday 29 August 2012; 15:36)

Enwar00 (36,201) by Gilbert from USA Haha you're too cute, so you think it's hot eh? Lol well well. Lol I think I'm a little flattered, I don't know. I forgot to add that whole "I'm in heaven, with my boyfriend, my laughing boyfriend..." scene is what really did it. I was like wow I'm in love. I always used to replay that part just to see what specific part, being 10 and copying her and listening to the song never got old to me. Now when I'm at the gym I take my iPad with me as I've always done since I got it and I watch the video and I always think back to the first day I hooked. This was the last album my brother who introduced to me ever bought. He said you don't see it now little brother but Mariah changed, she thinks she is too good and he just never followed her after that, I ended up taking over and I would probably say E=MC2 was that moment for me. I love the album but promotion, videos, singles choices were wack! (Wednesday 29 August 2012; 15:28)

Mariah fans (36,200) by Spee Vale from Philippines Can anyone make a poll how many Mariah fans are girls, boys, gays? I just like to know. I am afraid people might thought I am gay. (Wednesday 29 August 2012; 12:55)

First time I heard mc (36,199) by Licia from USA After reading some of these comments, y'all have me feeling old as dirt. Lol. The very first song that I heard by MC is Vision Of Love. I was in the sixth grade. My sister actually had the cassette tape of her first album and I stole it. Lol. After hearing every song on the cassette tape I was hooked. I pretty much have bought all her CDs except for Memiors and I still have all of them collecting dust. Lol. Although her music and her voice has changed throughout the years, she somehow manages to give me something that I'll like. I'm not fond of Triumphant (main version or remixes), but I'm not counting her out just yet. I'd like to just add that Nick Cannon is not forcing himself into her career. After what she went through with TM, I don't believe she would allow anyone to take over. He's directing her videos because that's what SHE wants him to do. We can't blame Nick or Randy Jackson for every bad decision. (Wednesday 29 August 2012; 12:09)

When to buy Mariah's single (36,198) by Spee Vale from Philippines I suggest do not buy Mariah's single on its first week of release. Let us wait until the non-lambs hear it, probably 1 week after release of the music video. That will sum up to a number of downloads that will make her to the top. (Wednesday 29 August 2012; 10:41)

"My" first vision (36,197) by Badr from USA I remember hearing about Mariah Carey, but I wasn't really exposed to her music until 1995. I heard "One Sweet Day" on the radio and saw her "El Amor Que Sone" video on Mexican TV. I was shocked when I realized it was the same person. "One Sweet Day" redefined my concept of good music. I had recorded the song straight from the radio. I loved her dynamic and expressive voice, moving lyrics, and soulful sound so much that I asked my brother to buy the Daydream cassette for me on his way to work. There had never been an album that got me the same way Daydream did. I listened to it literally hundreds of times. I found out Mariah Carey was responsible for another hot track I loved called “Someday”. Still, I didn’t consider myself a “hardcore fan” until “Honey” and Butterfly came out. After listening to Butterfly, I bought the Daydream CD and continued discovering her superb catalogue. Like many people in this board, I do not always agree with her decision-making but, in retrospective, Mariah has created part of the “soundtrack” to my life. Therefore, I am still a loyal fan.

Re: Stacey (36,196) by enwar00 from usa So true what you said about the feelings put into her songs that we relate to. And that coupled with the voice, just awesome. Plus since she writes most of her own lyrics it probably makes it even stronger. (Wednesday 29 August 2012; 9:35)

Re: Gilbert/ Fantasy (36,195) by enwar00 from usa Haha, I still remember the day the Fantasy video premiered on MTV, so it's cool and funny that it left such an impression on you. It was right before the VMAs that year and they world premiered it. I was at my sister's apartment and the three of us watched it and were all excited. Ok maybe it was just me that was excited? Lol. No but a couple others in my family are into her too. Still, that's not the one song that made me a super fan or whatever. Also, I think its kinda cool and hot that you're so honest in your post. Plus I love details. (Wednesday 29 August 2012; 9:23)

First song (36,194) by Sasha from Nomansland I felt in love with her voice when I heard for the first time "Without you". I was 9 or 10 at this time. This song will always have a special meaning for me and although I listened to it a billion of times, it still gives me the goosebumps. My mother tongue is not English so when I was young I didn't understand the lyrics and I couldn't stand it so actually I can say that Mariah makes me want to learn English. I remember spending my evenings trying to translate her songs in French. Even if I don't understand all the choices she has made these last years, I'm still a fan and will always be. It's funny to think that it's been twenty years that I'm listening to her songs, I feel like they are a part of me and of my history. (Wednesday 29 August 2012; 9:04)

Stacey (36,192) by Gilbert from USA Hi Stacey, I just wanted to thank thank you. How are your daughters? (Wednesday 29 August 2012; 6:22)

The first time (36,191) by RadChad from United States Like many 80s babies that grew up in The 90s. The first song that caught my attention was the emacalate "Vision Of Love". I had to be in 2nd or 3rd grade at the time, and remember for first time being blown away by a singing voice. I grew up in hearing many great singers, but NONE moved me like Mariah did even at that young age. I didn't become completely obsessed though until 95 when The "Fastasy" video came out, this was the year that it all came together, that MC was not only gorgeous, and the most amazing singer ever, but also a musical genius. After falling in love with MC in the Fastasy video, I discovered that this was the same woman that sung "Vision Of Love", Emotions, Hero etc. I then realized that Mariah's music has followed me every since she debuted on the scene and I've always subciously loved all her songs. The first album I owned was the Christmas album which was a gift from my sister, I don't think I need to go into how this album helped make Christmas even more awesome each year since. The first album I purchased was Music Box, and I received DayDream as a birthday gift (a year after its release) which is still my favorite Mariah album to date with some close seconds. I don't think there will be another artist in this lifetime that will move and inspire like MC. I will always love that woman unconditionally for many reasons. (Wednesday 29 August 2012; 4:58)
