About Libra Lamb from USA:

Election (106,954) by Libra Lamb from USA I've learned that there's no arguing with Trump supporters. It's simply not fair to you guys. Everything we need to know is in the statement you've posted. I care more about this our country than taking home a few extra bucks. I'd gladly pay more at the gas pump and at the grocery store for the benefit of the country. I respect your opinions and your beliefs. I don't understand them but I don't have to and I don't want to. Have a nice day. (Thursday 25 July 2024; 23:53) this is a reply to message 106,950

Election (106,950) by RL from USA Thank you. I have dealt with a lot of hate from people who are anti-Trump and just dismiss me as being uneducated and not knowing any better. Working in health care, I actually did better on my 401K, and took home more money with far less inflation than under the current administration. So it's nice to know that among the MC community there is still diversity of thought, and other ideas are still respected. (Thursday 25 July 2024; 17:25)

Inspirational songs (106,946) by Libra Lamb from USA Same here. Now we can relax and enjoy the Republican Party and Fake Fox News unravel and freak out because they thought Trump was a shoe in for the presidency. And now he'll lose, again. Loser MAGA cultists.

Inspirational songs (106,944) by BFF from United States I heaved a sigh of relief when VP Harris was announced as a replacement for Biden. It's like a huge weight from the past eight years has been lifted. I literally feel like a different person than I did a week ago. (Wednesday 24 July 2024; 22:32)

Worst Mariah Carey covers by other artists (106,937) by Libra Lamb from USA I remember Aretha Franklin performing Touch My Body. Hilarious choice but all my to the Queen of Soul. (Tuesday 23 July 2024; 18:46) this is a reply to message 106,931

Worst Mariah Carey covers by other artists (106,931) by Zachariah from Croatia Which Mariah covers by other artist, who had the audacity to cover a Mariah song, do you listen over and over just get shocked how bad they are? Mine is Rihanna's Hero. (Tuesday 23 July 2024; 09:40)

Album coming soon? (106,934) by Libra Lamb from USA I don't get the Taylor Swift hype either. I like a couple of songs, at best. The only thing she's done that I absolutely love her for is endorse Democrats and scaring the crap out of the Republicans by encouraging her followers to register to vote. Her songwriting is great but her voice I find it to be basic. No shade, just my two little cents. (Tuesday 23 July 2024; 13:27) this is a reply to message 106,927

Album coming soon? (106,927) by Zachariah from Croatia Nobody understands that. I just don't get what is so special about her. And I did try to listen [to] her songs, get her story: zero points. (Monday 22 July 2024; 15:46)

Rap features (106,805) by Libra Lamb from USA That would be a dream come true. (Tuesday 25 June 2024; 03:47) this is a reply to message 106,804

Rap features (106,804) by Zachariah from Croatia I hope she will and I hope the new album will be Glitter 2 sounds. Disco vibe. I just love that album and I think she is going to revamp it. (Tuesday 25 June 2024; 00:15)

Rap features (106,799) by Libra Lamb from USA I believe she can still pull it off. Ageism is definitely a real issue in the music industry. We all know MC makes her own rules and doesn't care what anyone thinks. I hope she continues to do just that and that's my only expectation for MC16. (Sunday 23 June 2024; 22:46) this is a reply to message 106,797

Rap features (106,797) by Robert-Anthony from United States Do you think MC is done with having rappers on her albums? I don't know how she could be taken seriously on her next album with rap features at 55 years old. Duets and vocal features is the way she should go for MC16. If she goes with some rap features, critics are not going to find it a step in the right direction at her age. (Sunday 23 June 2024; 22:04)

Hey C, Mariah Carey has 19 number 1 hits (106,795) by Libra Lamb from USA Very well said. If Taylor Swift , Rhianna, Miss Piggy or any other act manages to accomplish this I would be happy for them. It will not, in any way, diminish MC and her team's hard work over the last 34 years. Records are made to be broken anyway. But wether we like it or not, there's very few acts around that can rival MC's career. (Sunday 23 June 2024; 18:53) this is a reply to message 106,794

Hey C, Mariah Carey has 19 number 1 hits (106,794) by Shezz from Pk The way Taylor Swift is going, her momentum and her die hard fan base (that buys half a dozen version of her albums and singles with the slightest variations) she seems to be a hot contender to take over MC's number 1s tally (now at 12). With the chart rules as they are now, it is not as important for the entire general audience to love a song for it to go to number 1. Swifties alone are enough to make her new songs debut at n1 - which used to be such a big feat in the 90s - case in point Fortnight. It's not a great song. 3-4 more albums and she will sadly cross MC's tally and she churns out an album a year.MC's number 1s are a great accomplishment no matter who finds them forgettable and who finds them memorable. I hope she gets to keep it. She loves the title and as a long time fan I love it too. Previously Rihanna was hot on her heels but then she decided to go an extended hiatus.

#1 Relevance, new album (106,793) by Libra Lamb from USA I won't speak for others but I'd buy singles for tracks that were not released on the album, mostly imported singles, my intention was never to push a song to chart. Even if I was ever compelled to push a song to chart, I'm impressed that MC convinced enough people, fans or not, to buy her singles and support her songs a total of 19 times, especially if the song was "forgettable". Regardless of how they were obtained, it is not as easy as some people want to make it out to be. Otherwise everyone would have several number 1 hits. Not many acts from 1990 are still around or relevant. (Sunday 23 June 2024; 15:58) this is a reply to message 106,792

#1 Relevance, new album (106,792) by Randy from USA Let me hop on in here. I have read in a magazine that only a true fan would know the difference between Fantasy, Honey and Heartbreaker. Also, when I used to argue with Whitney Houston stans in the late 90s/early 00s that yes Whitney is consistent on stage but MC has more number 1s, their argument would be most of MCs are forgotten. If you can find a non-fan that knows all of the words to I Don't Wanna Cry or TGIFY I'd be shocked. I'm from the last generation and I'm also a chart nerd. We pushed a lot of number ones by buying physical singles to albums we already had. The airplay was minimal on her song before the single was released. Hell, we do it now. How many times have I come on here to see people begging us to stay up all night streaming something. Now here's where I completely contradict what I just said. I have had a horrible school year and am leaving my present school. So I've been playing death songs on my smart board. You know, One Sweet Day, Crossroads by Bone Thugs. Well, Bye Bye was playing and the office clerk who is half my age ran into my room and started singing it. I was floored. I said what do you know about this song. She said it's among her favorites. Mine too even [though] this board constantly decimates it because it didn't go to number one. That's an argument for another day. I guess my point is there is truth to both sides of the argument. Songs are over pushed by fans (come on you all Loverboy made it to #2) but then there are factors that make a song more relevant than a chart position shows (come on you all Cyndi Lauper's Girls Just Wanna Have Fun stalled at #2). New album. It's so funny because I feel like everyone wants MC to create SZA, HER and Muni Long vibes. I am thinking [Barbra] Streisand, Liza Minelli, Diana Ross. I don't wanna be ageist but Mariah is 55 years old and you all want her on trends with the hottest producers? I do think MC needs to release an album because her fan base grew up on albums. Cardi B can release singles for years continuously promising she's working on an album. Mariah can't do that, hopping on remixes late is kinda silly. But whatever. Carey-on.

Hey C, Mariah Carey has 19 number 1 hits (106,788) by Libra Lamb from USA For arguments sake, which of these "new girls" is a true contender for 20 number 1 hits? Since it's such a possibility there should be at least several answers. I'll wait. Don't you guys think that if it was that easy to obtain it, everyone would have multiple number 1 hits? At least use a possible real life situation if you're going to start an argument. I'm sorry but you're coming across as painfully young and naive. Furthermore, I am not here to defend my loyalty and love for the one and only Mariah Carey to you or anyone else. If you don't like it, don't read my posts. There's some posts I scroll right on by when I see the name. I don't stop to ask dumb questions. All dumb questions will be met with stupid answers. I guarantee it. (Sunday 23 June 2024; 04:44)

Rainbow 25 (106,787) by Libra Lamb from USA The only one coming off as bothered or pressed here is you C. Facts are facts and opinions are just that. See the distinction? I will continue to post whatever I feel like on here even if it bothers you. Now I know that will be a plus. Old Town Road, forgot about it until you mentioned it. No one like a know it all. (Sunday 23 June 2024; 03:31) this is a reply to message 106,780

Rainbow 25 (106,780) by C from United States Even she has "forgotten" some of the #1 hits. We're in a safe space here - we don't need to use those "defend my queen" arguments that we use in other places. Y'all have overplayed that #1s argument so much that if one of these new girls ever gets 20, y'all will be sick about it. Look at that way [Old town road] destroyed some of yall. Let.

She has been practicing lip synching (106,786) by Libra Lamb from USA I hope no one feels the need to explain anything to you. I certainly do not. Moving on. (Sunday 23 June 2024; 03:22) this is a reply to message 106,781

She has been practicing lip synching (106,781) by C from United States Can I ask a real question? What does all of this defense do for you? You have crafted an entire defense that sounds absolutely fantastical. What unspoken truths don't you want to say out loud that you've been compelled to craft this argument to provide some cognitive dissonance in order to remain a "real lamb"? I want to understand the psychology behind this "slay, queen" mindset in the lambily. (Sunday 23 June 2024; 02:18)

Rainbow 25 (106,785) by Libra Lamb from USA I don't know who you think you are talking to but it ain't me and I'm not the one. My opinions are my own, yours are your own. I stand by them. If you're sick and tired maybe don't read my posts C. Keep it moving. That's why this is a safe space. (Sunday 23 June 2024; 03:17) this is a reply to message 106,780

Rainbow 25 (106,777) by Libra Lamb from USA I've never seen or heard anyone say MC's number ones are forgettable. I believe a lot of "pop stars" are forgettable and no single act has more number ones than Mariah. She's the epitome of success and actual talent. Jealousy is a killer. Pray for those poor souls.

Rainbow 25 (106,769) by "MariahHater" from Hell This is my most least spun album of hers. This re release made me drop my jaw on how'd she pulled an album in less than a year with 2 No. 1s. Totally not my repetitive album but this album slaps so hard. Had new found appreciation with Petals, Rainbow Interlude, Rainbow's End (despite lacking big house vocals). Living in the 90s might be something I will be pondering all over my life. I really wish to see a Mariah resurgence aside from Christmas. Excited for Glitter and Charmie 25. I believe she is the only artist that can celebrate her album anniversaries with pride and power because she did this organically. Some says her number ones are forgettable and I believe not because depending on which continent you are, Mariah has at least 5 unforgettable songs etched into their bloodstream regardless of age group. Yes there are the new pop gurlies out there but nobody ever did something like dem oldies. Calling and manifesting to the universe to grant thy wish of having to see her number 1 outside Christmas again. (Saturday 22 June 2024; 05:02)

She has been practicing lip synching (106,776) by Libra Lamb from USA Mariah is a master at throwing shade. Nobody deserved it more than J Lo. I’ve never been happier to see someone fall as hard as she’s falling right now. Well played MC. Karma is a real beeotch. (Sunday 23 June 2024; 00:34) this is a reply to message 106,775

She has been practicing lip synching (106,775) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway I think what has happened the last couple of years, is that Mariah has had a very good lip synching coach. We all know Celine Dion is the master of lip synching, nobody accuses her of doing it, but we all know she has almost whole concerts with just lip synching. Mariah is relaxing on stage now, doesn't try to pretend to sing live, just doing the emotions in her face without lifting an eyebrow, and it works, it actually looks like she is singing, it works brilliantly. The playback is her real curent voice, but to not experience the fear of being caught out, she does that now, I sing it's soothing for her. And, by the way, Mariah is being seen the heroine in this Jen**fer Lo**z downfall, and that might have something to do with new found respect Mariah is recieving in the world right now. Mariah called out the girl she doesn't know in a very classy way 25 years ago. Karma is a bi**h, isn't it? (Sunday 23 June 2024; 00:10)

Spring or fall album release preference (106,743) by Libra Lamb from USA That’s right. The only acceptance that matters is your own. Other people’s opinions, family included, do not matter. No one lives their life according to us so why should we do the same? Choose yourself, every time. (Wednesday 19 June 2024; 00:34) this is a reply to message 106,739

Spring or fall album release preference (106,739) by Robert-Anthony from United States Thank you Shezz. I am learning this year to just be me and not worry about seeking acceptance from others. (Tuesday 18 June 2024; 15:03)

Favorite Rainbow track (106,731) by Libra Lamb from USA So I've been really enjoying this new anniversary edition of Rainbow and the song that stood out the most for it's haunting, sincere lyrics and vulnerability is Petals. I absolutely love this song, though it's always been one of my favorites, lately I can really appreciate how beautiful and real it is. Mariah does her best writing when she dives deep into her personal heartaches and lets the pen flow. The Petals Pound Boys remixes are really good too, it's a shame they were excluded from the MC30 releases. Do you have a new favorite Rainbow track? I know it's hard to pick just one. (Monday 17 June 2024; 15:46)

Yours ft. JT (106,693) by Libra Lamb from USA I feel the exact same way about everything you said. Solo Mariah is much better. (Friday 14 June 2024; 23:34) this is a reply to message 106,690

Yours ft. JT (106,690) by Terna from Nigeria Honestly, I'm not stoked for a release of the song knowing the back story as to why it never saw the light of day. I'm also never really into her duets or features, since to me those other artists are a distraction. Lol. That's just me though. (Friday 14 June 2024; 21:57)

Rainbow 25 (106,689) by Libra Lamb from USA Lol I miss the 90s too Jamie. I go back and revisit in my memories, probably too often. Some of my favorite albums and movies are from the 90s. But going to the store to buy the Rainbow CD on release day was such a high feeling. Enjoy the album and your weekend. (Friday 14 June 2024; 21:39) this is a reply to message 106,684

Rainbow 25 (106,684) by Jamie from UK It's always the 90's in my house lol. (Friday 14 June 2024; 17:16)

Rainbow 25 (106,688) by Libra Lamb from USA Thank you again Tevin. I will definitely enjoy the Rainbow album, reuniting with my husband and a delicious Cuban sandwich on the trip back home. Lol enjoy the weekend and the album as well. (Friday 14 June 2024; 21:24) this is a reply to message 106,686

Rainbow 25 (106,686) by Tevin from USA Lol. It seems like people either love or hate Florida, for multiple reasons lol. Safe travels and enjoy Rainbow 25. (Friday 14 June 2024; 20:21)

Rainbow 25 (106,683) by Libra Lamb from USA Thank you Tevin, I wish I shared the same sentiment. I do not like Tampa at all, or most of Florida for that fact. Barf. I'm glad you enjoy it and many people do but it's not for me. Sorry my response may be too sincere. Have a great weekend. (Friday 14 June 2024; 16:20) this is a reply to message 106,670

Rainbow 25 (106,670) by Tevin from USA Oh I love Tampa. I have to visit that area again one day. Have fun. (Friday 14 June 2024; 03:55)

Rainbow 25 (106,682) by Libra Lamb from USA After listening to the reissued album last night, I too have a new found appreciation for Rainbow. I absolutely love it. There For Me and it's acapella version? I can't believe it. I'm ecstatic and I love Rainbow's End. Just what we needed for Summer. Feels like 1999 again, not really, but whatever. Have a great weekend. Stream and buy if y'all can. Thank you Mariah. (Friday 14 June 2024; 16:15) this is a reply to message 106,679

Rainbow 25 (106,679) by Robert-Anthony from United States We can finally hear the whole album in a different way. I have a new love for Rainbow now. Tommy was really getting to MC and it is reflected vocally throughout the album. I wonder can a Rainbow documentary be made compiling video footage from 1999-2001. (Friday 14 June 2024; 13:48)

Rainbow 25 (106,664) by Libra Lamb from USA Same here. Road trip to Tampa. I love that it's been remastered. I can't wait. (Thursday 13 June 2024; 21:28) this is a reply to message 106,663

Rainbow 25 (106,663) by Tevin from USA I'm going to be blasting this album on my road trip up north this weekend. I can't wait. (Thursday 13 June 2024; 21:00)

Rainbow 25 (106,661) by Libra Lamb from USA I'm super exited about the track list. Well at least the 6 new songs I don't have in my collection already. I was hoping for more unreleased and rare tracks. It will still be fire. (Thursday 13 June 2024; 20:36) this is a reply to message 106,659

Rainbow 25 (106,659) by BFF from United States I just saw a full bonus track list of Rainbow25 posted on Mariah Report. I don't know if it's legit but seems plausible. I see a version of "Thank God I Found You" with Mariah only and two different versions of "Rainbow's End" listed. I wonder if Mariah recorded a ballad version of "Rainbow's End" in addition to the house version with David Morales. (Thursday 13 June 2024; 19:46)

The Boy Is Mine (106,633) by Libra Lamb from USA I agree with you. Great song. Great album by Ari. Another missed opportunity with MC. Hindsight is in fact 20/20. Ugh. (Tuesday 11 June 2024; 23:21) this is a reply to message 106,617

The Boy Is Mine (106,617) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ariana's got another hit coming with this new song. I would've love a collab with Mariah on the original of this song instead of "Yes, and?". Also the video is amazing, I mean stalking the ultimate stalker, Penn Badgley (You and Gossip Girl) and paying homage to Batman/Catwoman universe all in one, iconic. I hope Mariah invests in her music video with concept. Ariana's BIM and We Can't Be Friends music videos both have so much replay value and I love all the homages she does in these videos and previously too in Than You, Next, 34+35 etc. (Sunday 9 June 2024; 05:08)
