Out of tune (36,035) by Brandon from USA While I hate it when MC's songs stall on the charts, I hope that the negative feedback from the fans and low chart position of Triumphant will give her more insight into what the fans want to hear from her. A song over run with rappers is not it. I love hip hop, but not from Mimi. I know alot of non fans that are waiting for good music from her. I honestly don't think she is in tune musically with her fanbase right now. It's time that she get in tune with her fans, step out of the box, and give us something fresh and new. The world is watching and listening. It's up to her to captivate us with good music and us to back good music. (Friday 17 August 2012; 8:09)

Charts (36,034) by Stacey from USA More of the same. Could it be the song is not that great, therefore not peaking interest? MC needs to ditch IDJ and go with a team that will promote her properly. Because when you put out a so-so song (my opinion) and don't promote it right, this is what you get. I hope I'm wrong. Something tells me I'm not, though. (Friday 17 August 2012; 4:40)

How do you fix Triumphant general reception? (36,033) by Edward from USA It is sad that after all these years most people are not embracing Triumphant. It was a major mistake to have released the Meek Mills and Rick Ross version first, since that's the first impression people got. The remixes for me are great, but a little dated. It's like listening to the fantastic remixes for Heartbreaker, those were fantastic but sounded fresh. At this point and with American Idol on its way, if the single doesn't pick up, I think she should scrape it off and start fresh. Obsessed had a Rap version, but it was well balanced since Mariah dominated the song as she has always done on all her rap collaborations, of course those that are considered to be her tracks. We have a few remixes for Triumphant, but unlike the Heartbreaker remixes, they kind of sound the same. I still love them though, but it really hurts me that people are not feeling them. She should pull a Leona Lewis and scrape the song off the album, and keep on recording. (Friday 17 August 2012; 4:05)

How do you solve a problem like Mariah? (36,032) by Rod from Philippines Triumphant (Get 'Em) missed the US Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart this week and debuted at #15 on the Bubbling Under Chart instead. It also fell off the Hot 100 R&B/Hip-Hop Songs Chart this week peaking at #97. Radio has not been playing the track much since it premiered two weeks ago, though the recent official radio add date saw some increase in spins and audience impressions. (Hopefully, it continues to do so.) Digital sales of the original version and the 2 dance remixes - Vintage Throwback Remix and Pulse Club Mix - were dismal which saw the former peaking at #37 on iTunes US while the latter peaking at #294 and #352 respectively. And as of this writing, all versions are out of the Top 400 and freefalling. The video will premiere either this weekend or early next week. A "special" tv performance (finally, some promo!) is also slated in the coming weeks. Let us cross our fingers that these last few tricks up the record label's/Team Mariah's sleeves will at least breathe life to Triumphant (Get 'Em) once more or we are in for a Mariah drought for the rest of the year (unless the label does a re-release of Merry Christmas II You with some new remixes of the other potential singles/tracks) until American Idol Season 12 airs next year.

Frank collab "meh" (36,031) by RibbonB from USA Frank is getting lot's of buzz, but I'm not that impressed with his music. I agree with what Ne-yo said about him, he might be too cool for school. My opinion about that is he's trying to be a bit too ecclectic. His melodies are not complete and he doesnt have good beats, but Mariah does know how to elevate the music she works with. As for outside her comfort zone, as long as it's with good musicians, good lyricists that is the most important thing. (Thursday 16 August 2012; 19:57)

Mariah collabos (36,030) by Bsquared from USA Frank Ocean would be my first pick. I just wish she would work with people outside her comfort zone. (Thursday 16 August 2012; 19:26)

Collabs (36,028) by Stephen from London, United Kingdom I think the idea of Mariah collaborating with Miguel and Frank Ocean is a great one. I really like both artists and think a songwriting collab would be amazing, particularly with Frank. A vocal and songwriting collab with Miguel would work too. Adorn is a jam. (Thursday 16 August 2012; 0:27)

Licia / collab (36,027) by RibbonB from USA My only wish is for them to collab writing together, but he could sing great back up. I'm not a fan of Mariah singing duets. But he seems like a great new songwriter and he's a guitarist. I think they could write a couple of interesting songs that Mariah would sound fabulous on. (Wednesday 15 August 2012; 21:24)

RibbonB / Adorn (36,026) by Licia from USA I love Adorn. I don't know about him and Mariah working together though. Not saying that it wouldn't work, I just can't picture it without hearing them together first. (Wednesday 15 August 2012; 17:50)

New album / new features (36,025) by Licia from USA Although I want a new cd now, I'm ok with waiting until March. I'd rather see her put out a great album than a rushed one. Even though Triumphant is not a great single IMO, I believe that she has much more in store for us. I'm not going to give up on her because she made a bad single choice. I love the new message board features. (Wednesday 15 August 2012; 17:46)

TJ (36,024) by JBfly from USA I agree with ya. Always been curious what all my fellow lambs look like. Hope everyone would post their own pic and not Mariah's. Good job Mr. Webmaster for adding the avatars. (Wednesday 15 August 2012; 17:12)

Hi! (36,023) by TJ from Norway It's so nice to see the face behind the messages I have read over the years! Hello to you all. And hello to Eric, the webmaster Love the changes. (Wednesday 15 August 2012; 16:57)

Collabs (36,022) by Joanna from Poland I agree that a collaboration with Miguel would be a splendid idea. I also wish Mariah collaborated with Frank Ocean (aka Lonny Breaux); I really enjoy his music esp. Overload and Swim Good. In my opinion, Mariah's and Frank's voices would complement each other. (Wednesday 15 August 2012; 14:29)

Changes (36,021) by Stacey from USA Yes, I agree with Terna. I've wanted to write a message, just kept forgetting. Nice changes to add avatars and let us know not to use too many emoticons, lol. Not that I have a problem with that. (Wednesday 15 August 2012; 4:08)

Enwar (36,020) by RibbonB from USA You must hear Miguel's new song Adorn, it is so addictive. It's a little Prince like, if Prince were still writing hits today. Lol. I also like his latest song "Quickie". (Wednesday 15 August 2012; 0:29)

RibbonB (36,019) by enwar00 from usa That would be a cool collabo. I like Miguel and his album, though I haven't heard the new track yet. Even though he's not techno, as you mentioned, I still think his music and style is creative and different. (Wednesday 15 August 2012; 0:01)

New look (36,018) by Terna from Nigeria Hey Eric, real nice work with the avatars and emoticons. Love it. (Tuesday 14 August 2012; 21:18)

Mariah 2013 (36,017) by RibbonB from USA I really wish Mariah would collab at least in writing with R&B singer Miguel. He has a very cool sound, very anti-techno, but relevant and I love what he's been putting out lately. A track or two with these two co-writing could be pretty cool. (Tuesday 14 August 2012; 21:17)

Triumphant now on iTunes lambs (36,016) by Mariah Christmas from Long Island NY Let's all support Mariah Carey Triumphant (Get'em). I feel Mariah should be number one on the R&B Charts with this song and Mariah should earn her 16th No. 1 Dance/Club Play song. But I don't feel like this song is a Billboard Hot 100 hit single. We all have different opinions and that's great. I feel why Mariah has released three different version of triumphant so we lambs can and all enjoy something, but the original version of Triumphant is a classic for me. Let's support lambs and make her number one on the dance/club play song. Triumphant is the hit of the summer. I feel it something fresh from Mariah Carey and like she has never done in the past, There's no hate from me. Like Mariah says it, it's alright to take a back seat sometimes. The lyrics were perfect and the voice is right were it need to be. I love the song. I can not stop listening to the single. Thanks mcarchives.com for letting me comment here. Have a great day lambs around the world. (Tuesday 14 August 2012; 21:05)

Nevermind (36,015) by Gilbert from USA In iTunes it must've been hidden. I bought both dance versions. Make an edited version of the original with only the rapper on the second verse and I'll buy that one. Lol. (Tuesday 14 August 2012; 21:00)

Remixes (36,014) by Gilbert from USA So I was up early this morning to purchase the remixes and I don't see see them on iTunes. Anyone know what happened? (Tuesday 14 August 2012; 19:51)

Obsessed (36,013) by Naomi from South Africa I love Mariah and would like to meet her one day. I'm an ophan and I stay at a kids haven. I love you Mariah. (Tuesday 14 August 2012; 12:48)

What MC album should I listen to next? (36,012) by enwar00 from usa Any suggestions (Tuesday 14 August 2012; 10:15)

Very nice Eric (36,011) by Anonymous from I'm staying out of the whole "Triumphant" topic as I think enough has been said by everyone else. I've learned that talking less is saying more. Looking forward to the new album this coming Spring (or Summer or Fall, lol). I've just registered with MCA and I have to say that you have really done some cool stuff with the site Eric. I think MCA is, and always will be, the best site for the fans and the Lambs to come together as one big Lambily. I know I've been a thorn in everyone's side at times, but I've always been one of MCA's biggest supporters. I look forward to many years ahead getting booed and hissed and praised and loved by my fellow fans and Lambs, and by you too Eric, lol. Enjoy the day everyone. P.S. Gotta make a smiley Lamb emoticon. (Tuesday 14 August 2012; 7:31)
