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) "We've been hearing about things that either never come to fruition, get sabotaged or don't get promoted for decades now. So just for fun I'm putting together a lil list of all the things I wish are gonna be Mariah's big announcement for 2015 and or beyond. 1. A European residency in London to celebrate her 25th anniversary. 2. Carbonated Butterfly drink released internationally using Thirsty as promo. 3. An annual Christmas Broadway show written and produced by MC. 4. The Bond theme, performed, written and produced by MC and a cameo role on screen. I think Bianca needs to dust off her wig for this one. 5.The debut album re-released with the original demos, live performances and unleseased tracks or remixes. 6. An autobiography, maybe as a three-part book series? Childhood - The Sony years - Post Glitter. 7. A cable miniseries about her life using the books as a template. 8. Crave Records 2.0 and an HBO tv documentary chronicling the journey of MC mentoring new artists and maybe giving forgotten one's a new chance. 9. A Christmas movie produced and written by MC with old and new music where she plays at least one of the characters. 10. A DVD to commemorate her 18 US #1's with video commentary on every song and how it came to be from inception to charting. Also, funny anecdotes in the bonus features and guest appearances with her collaborators through the years. What do you guys wish Mariah's big 2015 announcement will be about?" I'm doing another wish list for 2016 so I went back to see what I posted last year. So far, I'm a pretty happy Lamb since several of the things on my wish list came true at least partially already. YAY!

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)

Re: DJ Suss One in French interview on Mariah (57,916) (57,929) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Oops. I forgot to post the link to the DJ Suss1 interview. Well, I like to be as accurate and thorough as possible so here goes. (Sunday 22 November 2015; 23:08)

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)

DJ Suss One in French interview on Mariah (57,916) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End The interviewer was trying a little too hard to paint MC as capricious of all things diva but Suss shut it down like nothing. Here's the transcript: Public.FR: I wanted to know, you collaborate with Mariah Carey. Rumor has it that she's really capricious ( da [censored], since when?). You know her personally so I wanted to know is she a "real diva" in real life or is she cool? DJ Suss1: I mean, no. First of all, she's the cool, one of the coolest people you'll ever meet in the history of the human race. Public.FR: Really? DJ Suss1: Yeah. Of course she has her diva-ish ways, not meaning her personality though, her personality, she's one of the coolest people. But of course you know, she's gonna have hair done. When I say "diva", I mean her swag is on point. Public.FR: Yeah, yeah. Everything has to be on point. Everyday. DJ Suss1: Shoes, hair, "the look". Yeah, but her personality? Public.FR: *nods* DJ Suss1: One of the sweetest, most humble, most incredible, most loving people that you'll ever meet. Nuff said. (Sunday 22 November 2015; 4:16)

Lauren Murray's WBT on UK X Factor week 4 (57,915) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End I got distracted from posting this nice rendition of We Belong Together. She started out a bit like a non-event but she went off in the climax and saved the performance. Uneven talent but I can sense the potential for a great future if she works hard. (Sunday 22 November 2015; 1:52)

Re: The art of letting ish go (57,912) (57,914) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Oh please, the only relevant MiMi on this board is Mariah. I don't acknowledge anyone on this board who unapolagetically tried to pass off obvious lies about Mariah as the truth no matter their pick of Mariah related moniker. And don't blame me for your own choice in taking what I wrote as a very general note to the board so personal. If you wanna keep talking about Adele Laurie Blue Adkins, and her non-connection to Mariah, go right ahead. After all, this is a general messageboard. We should start swaping our favorite recipes for vegetarian casseroles too then. So then what exactly draws you to this site when you just said you think I am an "obsessed Mariah freak"? BTW, That only explains my presence, not yours. I love how I'm the freak for wanting the conversations and discussions to be centred on Mariah on a freaking Mariah Carey messageboard. But I guess a hit dog will always holler. If I'm so wrong and you're so right Giovanni, then why didn't you just keep doing what you were doing? You could have just ignored me like I have been ignoring you for all this time. Why are you so Thirsty for my attention? Please, I beg you don't answer that, it's a rhetorical question. And go on about Adele if that's whatever is gonna make you happy. See, I can relate because I love Mariah Carey in a very similar way. Some electively uninformed people have been known to twist that into me being an obsessed freak but you wouldn't know anything about that, would you Giovanni? (Sunday 22 November 2015; 1:35)

Re: The art of letting ish go (57,897) (57,902) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End "So just because this is a Mariah Carey messageboard we can't post about other music artists? Baby please get out of 'Dreamville' and come back to earth. You get weirder and weirder with each post. Adele is here to stay so get over it." I'm surprised you can admit that this is a Mariah Carey messageboard. So kudos to you. But, the only one of us that gets weirder and weirder is you Giovanni. What kind of person goes on a messageboard, catering to one very specific artist's fandom, only to engage in incessant talks and promo about a completely different performers and thinks that fans of the artist whom the messageboard is about won't be find it peculiar? Why is this suddenly Adele Central and us lambs are just supposed to be all wolly and warm about it? Don't make me laugh. Goodbye from the inside. (Saturday 21 November 2015; 21:02)

All I Want For Christmas book (57,892) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End This is such a smart move. I can see all of her original Christmas songs being made into children's picture books eventually. Oh Santa in particular but even the ballads and hymns. It's a great Christmas gift to young and old, festive, educational and it'll feel brand new every year just like it's mother song. I wish for the next edition they'll put music to it. But maybe Mariah's saving that for her Hallmark card designing endeavour. Also, take note of the the fact that Mariah Carey is the only name billed as author. (Friday 20 November 2015; 22:08)

The art of letting "Can't Let Go" go (57,891) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End The irony of this never ending tepid Mariah link to a song title. Doesn't Adele have fansites online? I thought everybody loved her. You'd think she was some underrated groundbreaking artist struggling to get her mixtape heard the way some of you go on and on about her. Let me go on Adele.com and talk about Mariah ad nauseum. That should go over well, right guys? (Friday 20 November 2015; 21:51)

Re: Latin press (57,816) (57,846) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Darling Nikki, of course you would be one of the ones who actually reads and interprets the written word as it was meant. You might as well have read my mind with your breakdown of my initial Latin press post. So thanks lamb. About MiMi's networth of $520M or whatever, that's just a rough estimate of how much money she'd have at her disposal today, if she liquidated all her assets all in one go: properties, art, publishing, fine jewlery, masters, vehicles, awards, brands etc. The same goes for anyone's networth. From the average Joe to James Packer. It's the same reason why you always insure your posseions in as high a price range as possible because every little thing you buy and put in your house adds up. That way you don't screw yourself out of getting back whatever amount it would take to restore your property to it's full value after a flood, fire or natural disasters. And when it comes to the 90's? That was Mariah Carey's decade, we all know it. Madonna didn't even manage a single #1 album that entire time. Ask Billboard. So People magazine was blatantly wrong. But what else is new? The press at large are always trying to make Mariah's success and ecliptic impact seem less than it was and still is. It's time us lambily started calling our individual country's press out when they get Mariah wrong. It's obviously been affecting her marketability negatively that her brand is being watered down for the benefit of Madonna, JLo and the like. If you're not a lamb that obviously wrong apply to you. (Tuesday 17 November 2015; 0:34)

Re: "If We" / "Glitter" (57,833) (57,837) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End But don't you already have it? Besides, M said she owns the master rights to it. Meaning, it's probably not part of any of her record deals and therefore not tied to either IDJ or Sony. Ugh, I had to delete a whole paragraph because I might accidentally have speculated myself into legalities that wouldn't be entirely in Mariah's favour. Other than that, I agree, Glitter is an underrated album and it's partly because it's not available almost anywhere anymore. I bet Mariah has plans for it though. *cough* Broadway musical. *cough* (Monday 16 November 2015; 12:30)

Re: Article: How much is Mariah Carey really worth? (57,806) (57,812) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End May, even though I was hoping for responses from the usually silent 1/3 of MCA's visitors from Spain, but also it's diaspora, I nonetheless appreciate your post. I'm only puzzled at why you included Brazil, which as far as I know is not a Spanish speaking country, when I specifically asked about the Latin/Spanish press because of Latina magazine's blatant misinformation and misrepresentation of Mariah. In any case, I welcome anyone from any non-English speaking country to respond to my call. In Sweden, I'm used to reading false gossip stories directly translated from the Anglo press and minor facts wrong about her but at least no one would be dumb enough to write that her income is mainly from endorsements. She's known for her voice and music here, no matter what else people think, at least that is never belittled. I just thought it was/is an interesting topic. Obviously you did too, hense your quick response, no? (Saturday 14 November 2015; 22:42)

Re: Love story (57,780) (57,795) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Love Story could be about anyone, anyone but Thirsty. E=MC2 was pre-Nickelodeon. He hijacked that song knowing it was probably all about Derek Jeter. What kind of man who is truly in love would do that? He's a clown. It's almost as ludicrous as James Packer trying to claim any of the MIAMTEC songs as his and Mariah's. He would never. (Saturday 14 November 2015; 2:59)
