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.

Mariah sleighs even at her worst (58,258) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Why do all these people seem to have the collective memory of a single goldfish where Mariah's live performances are concerned? She was in the hospital on a drip less than a week ago suffering from severe flu symptoms. It was all over social media, TMZ, YouTube and MCA. Yet that is somehow irrelevant when reviewing her performance with Busta Rimes on Hot For The Holidays. When is the last time any of you checked out of a hospital straight into full make-up, hair and wardrobe and performed a full set for a corporate lumber company's Christmas party and probably had to fly miles away from home to get there? You people are just determined to relive the Rockefeller 2014 experience one way or the other, come rain or snow, aren't you. Sad, yet predictable. Mariah showed up to support her friend to help celebrate his milestone longevity in the music industry for free and the crowd loved it. But I guess if you're gonna be a Grinch, now would be the perfect time. (Monday 7 December 2015; 19:53)

Re: Prince spills tea: Billboard Lady Gaga's WOTY fraud (58,236) (58,255) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End "Prince hit the nerve. Billboard never acknowledges Mariah's success and rather give props to artists with less achievements for some reason. Billboard charts became a business some are willing to follow but I'm happy MC is beyond that." You're right Sofia. And you know It could only have been someone like Prince who could have exposed them like he did. As he doesn't have anything to prove and he is known to release his material in ways Billboard doesn't always credit as legitimate sales. Of course the usual suspects are gonna wanna try and make this rather disappointing revelation about the bribery based culture at Billboard Magazine about everything but that. Corrupt losers. But in hindsight I'm really happy Mariah didn't get any of their fake awards. It just further endears her to me in light of recent events. They can keep 'em indefinitely while MiMi keeps her integrity and pristine moral compass intact. These things make me proud to be a Lamb. (Monday 7 December 2015; 14:38)

Re: Can't Say No (58,238) (58,240) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Jono, I'm hoping it gets a re-remix with Mariah producing and writing new lyrics like she's done for Oh Santa in A Christmas Melody or her other remixes like I Still Believe with Brat and Krayzie or Joy To The World celebration with David Morales. Any excuse for Can't Let Go to have a second coming tbh. I'm excited. (Monday 7 December 2015; 0:20)

Re: Christmas Time Is In The Air Again (58,237) (58,239) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End I agree to the fullest enwar. To my ears? I don't know that Mariah ever sounded more at ease with her voice than in this song. At least when it comes to tone and body. It's like she isn't even trying and yet it's so masterfully done how the musical arrangement and her singing compliment each other. She and Marc Shaiman are magic together.

Re: Prince spills tea: Billboard Lady Gaga's WOTY Fraud (58,221) (58,228) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Well, it doesn't much matter. The ones who are smart enough can research it themselves even without any links to Prince's tweet or the letter of resignation from the Billboard employee. It probably won't change the culture of corruption that the entertainment press is mired in anytime soon but it's a start. At least we know Mariah isn't mixed up in this mess because he always gets the proverbial short end of the stick from most media outlets. This explains why she was completely ignored at this years Billboard Music Awards even though she hadn't honoured them with her presence since 1998. They neglected to give her an award for any of her major chart records since or even just for her legendary longevity to mark her 25th anniversary on the BB charts. JLo got their Icon Award just last year but somehow Mariah is chopped liver? It's all beginning to make sense now. This sucks for the other "legitimate" winners though, I'll say that much. Wonder what other publications have the same bribery culture? I can think of at least one other major industry staple that regularly leaves Mariah out of their lists of Songwriters for no apparent reason other than obvious bias. But you didn't hear it from me.

Prince spills tea: Billboard Lady Gaga's WOTY Fraud (58,221) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Hey, how come half the post is edited/deleted? Why not post the sources, i.e. the letter attached? It's how I was introduced to the news and how it should be told. I guess I could repost just the links. [Webmaster: Who cares what your sources are?] (Sunday 6 December 2015; 1:47)

Prince spills tea: Billboard Lady Gaga's WOTY fraud (58,218) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End "The concepts of honesty and top-notch journalism that we were taught to value here at Billboard have slipped away." It's all over Twitter. I was waiting for some sort of damage control but Billboards last tweet is from 2-3 days ago, ironically congratulating Lady Gaga for her Woman of The Year "win". Basically, the writer is retelling how Gaga supposedly secured her Billboard Magazine WOTY award through payola disguised as charity and also alludes to other similar situations during her time at Billboard as the reason for her resignation. I'm not even a little bit surprised at this when every other article BB writes about Mariah is literally hack journalism. If Billboard is as corrupt as this former employee plainly states then it must be just as easy for someone to sabotage by planting unfavourable stories/narratives and buy negative press. It explains so much that I don't even need to elaborate beyond the many rants I've already had in the past on this very board on this particular subject. So, In the words of Prince Rogers Nelson: Thoughts? Discuss. (Sunday 6 December 2015; 1:06)

Mariah's birthday Tweet to Jay-Z (58,209) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End "Happy birthday to my friend Jay. You deserve another great year and many more." Awww isn't that just darling? MiMi is such a genuine and loyal friend. That can't be said for every "diva" these days. Here's the picture attached. (Saturday 5 December 2015; 13:50)

Rockefeller? That's so fetch (58,206) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Performing at Rockefeller this year would be like Mariah rewarding "bad behaviour". It was never gonna happen. It's how we know she's a good parent. Her compromise was her 3 hour appearance in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. It's not complicated, I'd have done the exact same thing. Besides, M deserves a full televised hour of delivering her Christmas gems on her terms and not being ridiculed and punished for having a cold. Not to mention having the decency to still sing live all while enduring personal upheaval. If you wanna hear her sing AIWFCIY then fetch a seat at the Beacon. (Friday 4 December 2015; 22:54)

Re: Tabloid "journalism" (58,147) (58,157) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Billy, these people don't believe a single lie they print. That's not the objective. The real objective is proliferation of negative gossip about Mariah. And it works like a charm. In a few days this narrative will have spread to international tabloids, blogs, vlogs and from person to person through word of mouth. *Shout out to Wendy Williams and Norman The Goat.* Even countries that don't have free speech or democracy will print this in their papers. The clear and present absurdity will simply be lost in translation and if Team Mariah gives a press release debunking every single false claim it will never reach all those who read/heard the first ridiculous mess. So Mariah's domestic and international appeal gets eroded little by little because that is the story these people want the world to believe about her. That in turn affects her marketability amongst casual fans. They'll go to great lengths pretending to be fans in order to fool people yet turn around and lowkey insult Mariah Carey and thus the Lambily for our dedication and loyalty when we come to her defence. It's the oldest trick in the book i.e. basic propaganda: Devide and conquer. I'm pretty sure you've seen how they operate up close. I know I have. (Wednesday 2 December 2015; 5:59)

Maybe you're just not that into her? (58,130) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End It baffles me how so many of you are still holding on to these toxic emotions and the dead-end relationship with Mariah that you insist on still having year after year. You don't like the way she looks anymore, you think her music sucks, her friends annoy you, her acting is atrocious, her voice grates on your nerves, her personality embarrases you in public, her sense of humour makes you cringe and your friends and family don't like much either her except for that one song. Face it: You and Mariah Carey need to get a divorce. There. I said it. A trial separation is redundant at this point. And honestly, I can understand your frustration because it appears that Mariah doesn't ever listen to any of your advise, suggestions or random blurbs. It must be seven types of bitches the way she ignores you at parties, won't text you back in a timely manner, stopped CCing you in group emails, doesn't remember to send you a card on your birthday, screens your calls, asks you for your opinion only to do the exact opposite and started using new lingo that you don't understand. Me? I am very happy and fulfilled in our relationship. I feel like Mariah listens to me as a Lamb on a cosmic level. I tend to get exactly what I want from her or a very agreeable compromise. It happens every day. The reason is very simple: We dream the same dream and We want the same thing. *shout out to Diane Warren* That's the basis of any successful partnership along with trust, respect and love. The Lambily at large is very happy with Mariah. If you find that you are frequently not, then maybe you're just not that into her? IKR? What a crazy idea. So while you whine and cry about the bane of your existence on the daily, us hardcore Lambs are consistently getting what we want from our fave. And I'll be damned if I don't take a secret pleasure in knowing how my every wish and every dream somehow became reality while she's left y'all hanging time and again. That's gotta sting. But if you had better ideas that actually made sense to her brand and persona you too would be rewarded. Alas, that will never come to be. And that's OK too. Every hero needs a protagonist and that is your purpose whether you know it or not. Thank you for services rendered. (Tuesday 1 December 2015; 8:20)

AIWFCIY goes top 10 on Swedish iTunes at #8 (58,098) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Yep. All I Want has been rapidly rising on iTunes all November. Compared to last year, when it didn't quite manage to break the top 10 even in December, it's a remarkable feat. It means Mariah's profile in Sweden has been raised significantly this past year and it's a positive progression. I love when she gets rewarded for her hard work and the Anti-Mariah agenda fails. Talking about: Mariah Carey should retire. Fools. NTT: "Hate on me as much as you want to. You can't do what the [censored] I do. Bitches be emulating me daily." (Sunday 29 November 2015; 23:51)

Re: Melt Away (57,951) (57,993) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End There is just one thing about your post, Melt Away was produced by Mariah alone. Babyface only helped co-write the music probably. But I think it's easy to pick out his vocals in the background during the bridge's "You and me, (Babyface: You and me) in a cloud of reverie" part. I wish Mariah will take full credit for her hard work more often in the future. She revealed on Steve Harvey how she's forfeited director credit for more videos than we probably know of, unnecessarily IMO. I think she's finally getting it, that it's OK to take pride in her singular excellence and making it known to all and not always be so modest. I love MC for her abundant generosity and humility in sharing the profits of her wealth with her collaborators but not at the expense of her not getting full acknowledgment for her work as a songwriter, producer and director. My 2¢ents. (Thursday 26 November 2015; 14:09)

My list of Thanksgiving (57,992) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End We don't really celebrate Thanksgiving in Sweden, at least nowhere near the way Americans do. But I like the concept of giving thanks and showing gratitude for the good things we have received this past year. So I thought it'd make a list as it's sometimes good to remind oneself of one's blessings and not just focus on the negative white noise that is constantly engulfing us in our real lives and online. In shuffle order: 10. The Why You Mad Infinity Remix with JB, T.I. and French Montana. 9. The Mac cosmetics collaboration starting with frosty champagne All I Want lipstick. 8. Can't Say No with Rick Ross possibly getting single-treatment 7.The update of #1's to Infinity commemorating her record 18 Billboard #1s. 6. MC's expansion of her Christmas empire with the AIWFCIY book, collectors 10" and red vinyl MC album. 5 The Game of War commercials. 4. A Christmas Melody tv-movie being directed by Mariah Carey as the first of hopefully many more. 3. Stellar Bulochnikov's managerial partnership with MC. 2. The Vegas residency. 1. The Sony homecoming. Honourable mention is obviously James Packer of WoolPac but also the rest of Team Mariah for keeping up with her busiest year in a while. M runs a tight ship these days and we like that. There is so much positive and creative buzz surrounding Mariah that I'm sure someone else's list might look rather different. Have at it Lambs. But above all, I am thankful that MiMi is happy in both her professional and personal life and is still alive and kicking despite her injuries, visible and invisible. She's one of my greatest inspirations to keep going when the going gets tough. (Thursday 26 November 2015; 11:44)

LeAnn Rimes: MC's classic Christmas album is goat (57,991) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Professional Aussie Stalker: What do you think is the best Christmas album of all time, I know you've got one? LeAnn Rimes: Uh, probably. I listen to Mariah Carey's, probably more than anybody's. PAS: Ah, nice. LeAnn: It's awesome. PAS: Did you take inspiration from that for your album? LeAnn: Not really, mine's completely different but I do love that record. It's classic. PAS: You should do a collaboration with her. LeAnn: *laughs* That would be fun. Another lamb exposed. I wonder if she has a solar-driven unicorn named Rainbow? Happy Thanksgiving lambs. (Thursday 26 November 2015; 10:47)

Don't rain on Mariah's parade (57,982) (57,984) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End These crazies are at it again. You all always come out when Mariah is getting positive hype. Sad, yet predictable. But we love it because it means Team Mariah is on the ball and certain people don't like that. So go on, bring your stale, crustry tabloid wipes and try to pass it off as love and concern. We see right through you muffs. You all ain't special, you people are a dime a dozen on here and every other board and comment section online, from TMZ and YT to the DM. How much does professional ignorance pay these days by the way? Baby needs a new pair of boots and you alls job spreading bullshit looks super low intensive. In fact, I could probably do a 99% better job than you do (which wouldn't take much, let's be honest) in my sleep. I'm not trying to be mean or disrespectful but you kinda suck donkey dong at what you do. There is no element of surprise or sense of urgency in your writing. Forget about originality and flair. The drama is lacking for it to be actually interesting enough that some [censored] fools would start spreading it, which is what you want, right? I mean, does it even really count if your message is stuck in an echochamber with the same people, going nowhere? Have you no pride of your work that you are okay with being so ineffective in your negative branding of Mariah that you fail to realise just how much you are actually helping her? This is not a Bond movie so you'll have to figure out the plot on your own. Good luck, you're gonna need it where you're headed. (Thursday 26 November 2015; 2:24)

New Christmas Melody clip via EW (57,968) (57,974) (57,977) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End IKR? It's obviously b-roll. Meaning, it's not necessarily a part of the finished product yet. That takes a lot of technical synchronising, color treatment, sound-editing etc. It could be also be a scene that was cut from the movie because it was superfluous or didn't move the story forward, hense why she even leaked it as is. If so, it's a brilliant teaser in this spoiler dense era. ACM is still in post production. I mean, it's been just a week since she took that diva in bed picture where, lest we forget, she was doing voice-over work. I don't know, but I could be right. (Wednesday 25 November 2015; 18:32)

Bad Blood: Melt Away et al. (57,942) (57,946) (57,972) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End "Didn't Mariah write Melt Away specifically for this soundtrack, but it got snubbed from it? Am I wrong?" I wouldn't be surprised if it was ultimately Tommy who actually put the kibosh on Melt Away being on the Exhale soundtrack. He's always seemed especially vexed at Mariah having any successes in the movies. I'm pretty sure it stems from Mariah's initial contract with Warner being a soundtrack song and his need to keep the myth of having "made" Mariah intact when she had esentially already "made it" before meeting him. He couldn't risk her being a big hit in a business where he didn't really have any real pull. He must have always known she wanted to eventually go into acting and obviously did everything in his power as her record label president to keep that from happening. Once they divorced it became his mission to thwart her every effort, both musical and filmic from reaching its full potential. We all know the culmination of his devilled madness that gifted the world with JLo and made the Glitter era such a wonderful time for Mariah and Lambily. Oh, but the memories. Remember how Hero was supposed to be on a soundtrack and sung by Gloria Estefan? Why couldn't Mariah have kept it for herself and also put it on the soundtrack? Ever wonder why Gloria but especially Celine had so many soundtrack theme songs being signed to Columbia and Sony yet Mariah was conspicuously absent from any such projects? Sip that tea real slow. But, you didn't hear it from me. (Wednesday 25 November 2015; 10:58)

Re: Can't Say No snippet (57,950) (57,970) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Hey Tevin. Here you go lamb, just scroll down to November 22. It's a great site for Mariah media/audio, bookmark it and enjoy. (Wednesday 25 November 2015; 10:13)

Re: A little response (57,947) (57,955) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Woah. Your response kinda threw me for a loop. I don't know what I was expecting but I'd never really considered that the language barrier would have made Mariah's music inaccessible to the working class in Mexico and more popular with the upper middle class. That's almost the polar opposite of what her brand is: positive, universal and accessible. Initially I was most shocked about her never having performed in concert in Mexico but that sorta made sense once I reread your post and got the real tea on how she hasn't connected with the masses over there. I guess her connection to Luis Miguel didn't translate to expanding her popularity in Mexico any more than it did for him in the Anglo-American market. I wonder why she wasn't ever properly promoted in Mexico when it's so close to America? Japan is a lot farther away both culturally, linguistically and geographically yet she is the biggest selling foreign act in Japanese recording history. Anyway, Gracias for the breakdown Lamb. Me gusta. (Tuesday 24 November 2015; 15:27)

M's Secret Skin (57,952) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Yay According to People Magazine's lates issue, Mariah's gonna gift us with her secret skin lotion and it's soon or she wouldn't be talking about it already. I'm so excited because I have such sensitive skin and she's bound to cater to my demographic. Come through MACQueen, Beauty Icon, Style Innovator and Emullient Entrepreneur. Are you guys so excited? These things make me really really happy. (Tuesday 24 November 2015; 10:33)

Article: SoundTreks: Glitter (57,948) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Hack journalism at it's most vile. Ugh, there is always someone ready to come for Mariah to save their lesser irrelevant and fake faves. This whole write-up is just an excuse to plant negative stories, whitewash lies and perpetuate stereotypes that are as far away from the truth about Mariah as you can get. Jennifer Lopez' dirty hands in the forcible pilfering of the Firecracker sample from Loverboy and other shenanigans sabotaged Glitter. Everybody in the industry know what happened. Like why did his editor even approve of a review on a film/soundtrack 14 years late? You couldn't wait a few weeks for A Christmas Melody to analyse a musical film Mariah actually directed, starred and co produced? Benny Medina, is that you? So many rhetorical questions and yet so few unanswered (Tuesday 24 November 2015; 1:03)

Re: MiMi's international promo game (57,923) (57,933) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Hey davifdf, what is the state of Mariah's impact on the Mexican market and media in your personal opinion? Do people know her only for dating Luis Miguel and does radio play only the Spanish versions of her songs from the 90's like Heroe, El Amor Que Soñé and Mi Todo? I only ask because I can't research it on account of not being a Spanish speaker. Also, you have a great grasp of the English language so I trust whatever you have to offer by way of observations and opinion is gonna be interesting at the very least and legible. The same goes for anyone of you lambs who have any knowledge or experience of being fans of Mariah's in a non-Anglo context. Let's see if there is something to be discovered that would be to Team Mariah's benefit. (Monday 23 November 2015; 2:21)

Can't Say No (57,921) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End I just hope she got to produce her vocals and write her topline and lyrics. This collaboration is super interesting as it will tell us in what direction her sound is evolving so the more involved in it she is, the better. MIAMTEC, Infinity, Why You Mad, Can't Say No. Maybe it'll even get a remix that ends up on the next album output. I'm assuming there's a video in the works because hello, have you seen her lately? *Rick Ross grunts* (Sunday 22 November 2015; 12:58)
