About Terna from Nigeria: Fan since 1998 - The "Butterfly" Era. Fave Era - The Emancipation of Mimi, watching her break that Night was Everything.

Re: Yeah positive fans (70,463) (70,470) by Terna from Nigeria For someone who only makes an appearance here when you have something negative to say or a complaint to make (scroll down and read your own messages), I'm not surprised you're one of the "since the beginning" fans. You guys have a weird sense of entitlement like Mariah owes you something for being there from the start. The real lambs are those fans who love Mariah unconditionally, taking the good with the bad. Yes there might be things she does we might not agree with but we recognize she's human first and foremost which means she too is prone to error. The real lambs are those who have embraced Mariah's work wholeheartedly not seeing a divide (old Mariah/new Mariah crap) but instead a woman who has evolved, grown and changed over time for the better as is the way it should be. We trust Mariah's sense of judgement (after all she has kept going 26+ years in an industry that's difficult and stayed relevant all by herself ) and don't ridicule her, nor criticize in a destructive way. We stay optimistic and unapologetic when it comes to Mariah and recognize she's the best to do it ever (all caps) anyway you wanna spin it, I don't care who your fave is, he or she can never be compared to my fave - Mariah Carey, the best of the best.

Re: Yeah positive fans (70,445) (70,456) by Terna from Nigeria I'm definitely with you on that. I think it's high time the real lambs took back control of this message board and sent these negative inverted gremlins into exile permanently. (Friday 30 December 2016; 19:30)

George Michael (70,321) by Terna from Nigeria Leap years really do come with a lot of deaths. RIP George. (Monday 26 December 2016; 16:36)

Re: WWHL (70,151) (70,158) by Terna from Nigeria WWHL is not that kinda show where everything is so formal. It's a tongue in cheek show not an Oprah moment. I'm glad she drops by from time to time and is so much more outspoken lately (Demi diss). In the past DaBrat was her mouth piece. Now that's definitely Stella's influence lol.

Stiff Mariah (70,026) by Terna from Nigeria This might have been when she broke up with James Parker before the media caught wind of it. That would explain her awkward stiffness and disinterest in doing the whole thing, but still had to go through with it because Corden had already planned it. She looks like she had been crying. (Saturday 17 December 2016; 9:17)

Carpool Karaoke (70,000) by Terna from Nigeria The best one yet. I was pleasantly surprised. Sir Elton John and Red Hot Chilli Pepper were part of it guys. Music Royalty right there. Loved Adele, Lady Gaga and Stefani. Also the "for Saint Nick" part where both Demi and James point to Nick Jonas. Lol. (Friday 16 December 2016; 16:16)

Lionel tour (69,872) by Terna from Nigeria Anyone see the pattern here? Her image overhaul for the better perception of who the artist Mariah Carey is. While Mariah's World targets the younger generation, this tour is for the older demographics kinda like a reintroduction to Mariah Carey. Believe it or not, Mariah's music (especially her hits) is the soundtrack to a whole generation even if folk don't wanna admit it, and nothing gets people like nostalgia. I think this is a very smart marketing strategy. Talk about TEOM level type exposure. The new era is gonna slay. Third song of the decade (have faith) and her signature song.

Re: 1969 or 1970? (69,849) (69,869) by Terna from Nigeria On Oprah, Mariah's own Mum Patricia Carey confirmed she was born in 1970. That's good enough for me. (Tuesday 13 December 2016; 11:49)

Beyoncé IG post (69,809) by Terna from Nigeria It seems Beyoncé came to her Beacon show last night. (Monday 12 December 2016; 9:01)

Re: When Christmas Comes "Live" with John Legend (69,763) (69,765) by Terna from Nigeria Oh my? Bad webmaster. I'll link you up with Adele's Surgeon so we can see your "youthful" polyp and nodule free face once again. (Saturday 10 December 2016; 19:28)

Re: When Christmas Comes "Live" with John Legend (69,756) (69,762) by Terna from Nigeria What happened to your picture? Hehe. (Saturday 10 December 2016; 18:09)

Re: 19th No. 1 (69,713) (69,723) by Terna from Nigeria That might actually work. Oh my guess I'm gonna try it. Haha. The navy's gonna have a major breakdown like take that Rihanna Pow. Another No. 1 to beat. Haha. (Friday 9 December 2016; 22:32)

Re: 19th No. 1 (69,709) (69,722) by Terna from Nigeria Lol. Only 6 months? (Friday 9 December 2016; 22:19)

19th No. 1 (69,699) by Terna from Nigeria This just might be the year AIWFCIY hits no. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. That'll be a record making first. I don't know of any other song that has topped the charts 22 years after being released. (Friday 9 December 2016; 4:40)

Mariah Carey - the fan divide (69,244) by Terna from Nigeria There seems to be a great divide between Mariah's fans 1990-1997 and 1997-2016 or say present day. The former of when she was considered a pop artist and someone new in the industry, in contrast to someone who had paid her dues, proved herself and gained a certain amount of respect and freedom to be herself from 1997 onward, this reflected in her work immediately indicated by the jarring switch of the genre of music she made from pop to R&B/Hip-Hop. This single move Mariah made I feel is truly what set her levels above the rest and what has in the long run given her longevity. She followed and still follows her heart. Not what Tommy Mottola envisioned or oversaw in the past, but what was truly Mariah in her inner most core, and her love for R&B/Hip-Hop, music she grew up listening to and could relate to. The resulting body of work which reflects that time became her magnum opus - Butterfly a masterpiece of perfectly blended Pop, R&B/Hip-Hop, which Singers like Beyoncé and Rihanna often borrow from, testament to the impact of Butterfly; Mariah's blueprint.

Re: Freak show (69,120) (69,145) by Terna from Nigeria Like that time you insisted the Grammies 2006 medley was lip synched at some parts but everyone here thought different and concluded it was 100% live right? Hmmn. (Tuesday 6 December 2016; 9:22)

Re: Lipping and off you go (69,116) (69,144) by Terna from Nigeria Oh my? I hit a nerve now didn't I? With that defensive essay you babbled out saying nothing coherent and even being insultive, I'd say you're a tad bit too old for such childish behavior now aren't you? Smh. First of all my reading comprehension (Was that supposed to be a jab at my intellect? Try again because you failed.) is fine thank you very much. No one was talking about nodules but you were talking about lip synching which is why I called it to your attention, nodules could very well be the reason why she keeps lipping. It's not rocket science. "Unfounded assumptions" as you called it? Mariah Carey has nodules fact (all caps), her doctors, she herself and I think even her mum have confirmed it. Her voice has constantly kept changing with every era, fact. We aren't with Mariah Carey 24/7 (fact) so how do you know for certain she doesn't take care of her voice? Now that is an "unfounded assumption" as you put it. Because to me for someone who's had them her whole career, she still sounds great, and had to have been taking care of her instrument to be able to still tour, record and sing her 18 number ones back to back (Caesar's palace) seeing how difficult her repertoire is. Goodday Edward. (Tuesday 6 December 2016; 9:04)

Re: Freak show (69,075) (69,099) by Terna from Nigeria Then you and George seem to be in the minority because I felt that was a classy fresh look and performance from her in since forever matter of fact she's never done anything remotely close to this. And judging by the positive comments on social media not just the lambily, I say it was a big win for her. Mariah slayed point blank period. (Monday 5 December 2016; 17:46)

Re: Lipping and off you go (69,073) (69,098) by Terna from Nigeria Everytime you complain about Mariah lipping you show just how ignorant you really are about nodules and polyps. The former of which Mariah has always had. That's right, even before she recorded her first album. It's the reason her voice has constantly kept changing with every album, tour and performance but she got away with it as a result of her youth. Now she's older it's much more obvious. Sure she also doesn't take care of her instrument like before, how sure are we? None of us here are with her 24/7 now are we? So with that in mind, you should know that comparing Mariah to other singers who don't (all caps) have nodules is ridiculous. And the funny thing with nodules is that the problem exacerbates over time and in her case, surgery might be the only option. Two words. Julie Andrews. (Monday 5 December 2016; 17:34)

Re: Mariah and Jazz (68,612) (68,682) by Terna from Nigeria No, no and um, no. Jazz is for oldies. What I want is another slayage era on par with Butterfly and The Emancipation Of Mimi. But with current sounds, current producers. A perfect blend of pop and R&B like we all know she's still very capable of, and massive big voiced ballads that would reign supreme breaking the Beatles record. (Friday 25 November 2016; 16:13)

Re: New pics (68,261) (68,277) by Terna from Nigeria A vision of love moment. Anyone? Recall the video for that song? Minus the jacket. She looks hot and easily can pass as 30ish. One of her best looks this year. (Saturday 12 November 2016; 22:53)

Re: Whenever You Call - your most listened to song? (67,489) (67,509) by Terna from Nigeria Mine was a tie between "Vision of Love" and "The Art of Letting Go" according to iTunes. I actually play those two the most come to think of it. Lol. (Wednesday 26 October 2016; 10:51)

Re: What female should Mariah duet with? (67,488) (67,508) by Terna from Nigeria I would pick Brandy or Deborah Cox for an R&B song or Christina Aguilera for a ballad. These three after Whitney Houston are probably the only females who could actually keep up with Mariah vocally especially with the runs and not have her holding back too much like with Jussie. Ariana is a no for me though, her voice isn't Mature enough for a duet with such a hefty voice as Mariah's. (Wednesday 26 October 2016; 10:45)

Re: Early Halloween (67,433) (67,437) by Terna from Nigeria Mariah looks hot. Easily her best Halloween costume ever. Poor Nick couldn't focus on the cam with her girls out and in his face almost literally. Lol. Mimi the pics you shared are fabulous. I got to see more details about who was in attendance, something the main article eluded. (Sunday 23 October 2016; 15:13)

Re: Jojo's reckless (67,315) (67,325) by Terna from Nigeria I thought the same thing too. It's more R&B than the rest of the songs and even her vocal delivery is Mariahesque. I like the song. (Monday 17 October 2016; 18:14)
