About Terna from Nigeria: Fan since 1998 - The "Butterfly" Era. However my Fave Era ever? will always be - The Emancipation of Mimi, if you're a true Lamb, you know.

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)

Mad Love (67,311) by Terna from Nigeria JoJo's new album is a killer. Check it out and support her she's the real deal. There's a shift of attention from gimmicky artist back to singers with the gift and talent that speaks for itself and that's a good thing for our diva Mariah. Fave songs include: Music, Edibles, I Can Only feat. Alessia cara, Rise Up, [censored] Apologies, Fab and Clovers. You'll be pleasantly surprised. (Sunday 16 October 2016; 16:19)

Vevo (67,240) by Terna from Nigeria It's all there, every single video Mariah ever put out worth mentioning, even live performances. Wow I'm impressed and you need to see the comments all positive, all recent. It's Mariah's World again and I'm loving it. (Thursday 13 October 2016; 20:21)

Wendy Williams (67,237) by Terna from Nigeria Is a big lamb. All her commentaries on Mariah are just attention jabs at Mariah. I feel like she's desperate at this point to have Mariah on her show at all costs which would kinda validate her and her show. And when she doesn't get honored a visit from the one and only chanteuse, she throws hissy fits and tantrums which we've all witnessed in the past. Lol. (Thursday 13 October 2016; 20:05)

Re: New sound (67,208) (67,215) by Terna from Nigeria How about Ben Margulies? Now if she must reunite with her old collaborators I feel it should be Ben. Some of her most profound songs were written with Ben and I also feel they didn't hang long enough to bring out the best, kinda like a tip of the iceberg scenario. Afanansieff's sound is dated and would come across as a desperate move to recapture her glory days (I hate that phrase lol). (Thursday 13 October 2016; 0:40)

Re: Quote unquote "blue eyed soul" (67,092) (67,095) by Terna from Nigeria [...] Did you just call "The Art of Letting Go" whack? Off with your head. I'll take that song over the whole Music Box album any day. Have several seats with that [...] statement. (Saturday 8 October 2016; 18:55)

Infamous update (66,937) by Terna from Nigeria At first listen it really wasn't a wow moment but the song is a grower. Mariah's parts are most memorable and I've actually been humming or singing little parts of it all day, today which is weird for a song I would say doesn't have a distinct melody line at all. What an outcry this song has caused for all the wrong reasons it's famous negatively. It sure lives up to its title - Infamous. (Saturday 1 October 2016; 21:42)

The silence of the lambs (66,904) by Terna from Nigeria It's no wonder Mariah is reaching out to the younger generation for new fans who would love her, accept and support her unconditionally as she is now, and talk and refer to her with love and respect. Unlike the core fans who started with her and Tommy's vision of Mariah Carey. Those fans fell off along the way, and morphed into something crafted from pure hate. While still deceiving themselves they're still rational, and "love" her, yet when it comes to Mariah Carey, you get a glimpse of the confusion and ugly they are inside. And they're here littered all around with their distorted, inverted perceptions about her shamelessly spewing hate and negativity any chance they get. How miserable they must truly be. . A new crop of Mariah Carey fans is being raised void of all those issues the greater part of her original fanbase have. And in time the 795 B.C. entitled fans would be long forgotten because they and their distorted opinions on her won't matter, will not even be tolerated nor entertained.

Re: These songs represent the real Mariah not Infamous (66,858) (66,862) by Terna from Nigeria Sorry no one wants a new Walter Afanansieff collaboration the magic lies within Mariah not Walter. Seeing as she has written equally profound songs on par if not I dare say better than the ones she did with Walter just playing piano. Walter's work was always overproduced and borderline schmaltzy and her voice buried under layers of music tracks instead of front and center. The real Mariah Carey is an R&B/Soul singer in the vein of Aretha, Patti, Chaka & miss Blige. Mine Again We Belong Together Your girl Vision of Love Do You think of me Underneath the stars Melt Away One Sweet Day (Leans more towards r&b) Through the Rain Bliss Fly like a bird Faded Baby doll The Roof The Art of Letting Go etc. Now this is the real Mariah Carey. A soul sister and R&B queen. (Friday 30 September 2016; 2:33)

Re: New song honest review (66,841) (66,857) by Terna from Nigeria I like the T-Pain moment. That's where the song seems to take off and brighten up just a little bit and I feel in the context of the film, it's where he soars and kinda gets his mojo back since from what I've read Kitty's there to help and guide Jamal. (Friday 30 September 2016; 1:36)

Infamous (66,834) by Terna from Nigeria I like it. It's a laid back R&B jam, current sounding and a step in the right direction of how music should sound. Nice thoughtful lyrics too. The only setback was the auto tune on Jussie's vocals - a tad bit too much, but all in all it would play well with empire. B- (Thursday 29 September 2016; 18:34)

Re: Sky Diving (The Roof Pt 2) (66,705) (66,745) by Terna from Nigeria You love UOMF? I skip it everytime. It sounds like something Nick Cannon wrote. Lol. And yeah I love Imperfect too. I feel like with that album, she should've worked with more producers instead of just the Dream and Tricky. Speaking of producers and music production, I want something from Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis but an updated sound, Dark Child, Hit Boy, Kanye West, Mike Will and more Jermaine Dupri without any hollering whatsoever. Then a little trap jam, hit Metro boomin for that. (Tuesday 27 September 2016; 18:22)

Sky Diving (The Roof Pt 2) (66,695) by Terna from Nigeria Her pen game on this song is something to marvel at. In just 2 minutes, Mariah tells a story about love, heartbreak, longing ang reminiscing, switching in between past and present. You feel she's just told a story of a lifetime. How did this song get cut off the final Memoirs tracklist but crap like "Up out my face" both song and even more horrendous reprise (lol, I hope she doesn't read this) made the cut? This song is up there and easily a part two of The Roof. Just shorter in playtime and not as detailed as the former. I have mad love for Skydiving. (Sunday 25 September 2016; 21:16)

Re: I wish you well, Fly like a bird or Saving Grace? (66,457) (66,471) by Terna from Nigeria Without a doubt "Fly Like a Bird" that song, words can't even describe the feeling it evoked on first listen and then she suddenly unleashes the full weight, power and range of her voice, and the vocal assault (for lack of a better term lol) seems to go on forever. Mariah uses every part of her voice, every register to outstanding effect. If ever there was a song that the power of her voice is most eminent, its this song, the song is annointed. (Monday 19 September 2016; 15:44)

Musical genius: Butterfly (66,393) by Terna from Nigeria Afterall is said and done this body of work proves why Mariah is considered one of the greatest singer/songwriters ever. Butterfly is a hybrid merger of at least four distinct genres, Pop, R&B, Hip-Hop and Dance music an almost near impossible feat to achieve all perfectly balanced but which paid off. This album made me a fan and I can comfortably say millions of others too. It's easily her most cohesive body of work and undoubtedly her most personal. 19 years later the music still sounds fresh, just like the first time I heard it. Thank you Mariah for following your heart. Respect. (Saturday 17 September 2016; 18:14)

Mariah Carey (66,308) by Terna from Nigeria I've been pondering sharing this with you guys. But I said what the heck you're family, and the common denominator is our unrelenting love for Mariah. Hope I don't come across as weird. In 2009 I had a strange vision sometime in October about her. I would say it was a vision because if you've ever had one of those happen to you, you're not asleep, totally aware of your surroundings and it's like suddenly the room dims up and it's like a film projector styled plays while you watch. In the vision there was a boy and girl with Mariah, they were at an award show on stage and on closer observation it was the Grammies. And right there on the presentation podium were Grammies with Mariah's name on them. It seemed weird because in real life she lost all those Grammies but in the vision it was a controversy that had been exposed that the recording academy on purpose gave all her Grammy wins away and that she had won every single time. It was all over the news, so this was the apology officially to Mariah Carey presenting her with all the trophies, over 20 Grammies. But Mariah simply signaled to the girl who in turn picked up the tray of Grammies and seemingly emptied them into a shredding machine and they were shredded like paper. Then Mariah with a very booming voice to the audience who were in total shock and speechless then slammed down a golden statue speaking just a few words "Presenting The Mariah Carey award". She then turned around and gracefully walked away hand in hand with the boy and girl in tow. And the I looked at the statue. It was a golden statue of The Emancipation Of Mimi album cover. Mariah had just basically changed the Grammies to the Mariah Careys. I was puzzled. Still am. (Thursday 15 September 2016; 5:33)

Re: Wow some post here (66,154) (66,213) by Terna from Nigeria Learn to ignore them or better yet skip their posts altogether you don't have to read their "opinions" when you know it's just going to be yet another bout of hate and negativity, just skip it. I know I do. There are certain gremlins on here who's posts I never read. They know themselves. Don't feed the them let them starve. (Obsessed anyone?) Let them cosign each other's hate and negativity. Lol. (Tuesday 13 September 2016; 11:43)

Instagram pics (66,098) by Terna from Nigeria 10 years ago Mariah looked a hot mess. She looked tired, washed-out, fat, had lost her youthful glow, relied heavily on hair extensions and looked so much older than her age and she was just 36. Fast forward to present day, she looks 10 years younger than her actual age 46, is youthful and vibrant as she was in the beginning, slim as a teenager, I swear she even glows gold in some pics you see her and all round the best she's looked in her 26 year career. So let her have fun posting on IG she's beautiful. Who do you know ages backwards? (Saturday 10 September 2016; 18:59)

Re: Mariah crying? (65,674) (65,675) by Terna from Nigeria You know, I wondered the same thing reading through all the posts, the negativity is appalling, quite hard to miss and a total turnoff. Is this what new fans are coming to see on their journey to discover Mariah? What happened to your rules Eric? Or maybe you agree with the gremlins who come around only when there's something negative to bank on or say. I've been visiting this site less and less lately too and that says a lot since I've been a regular since summer 2000 and it became part of my routine whenever I was web surfing but now, not so much.
