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

The love (49,445) by Terna from Nigeria You know how for years it's baffled us as fans why Mariah Carey after all her success, accolades, records set and broken hasn't really been acknowledged with admiration and respect that she rightfully deserves, right? Well I have a feeling that the table has been turned. With her silver anniversary in the industry people are rediscovering Mariah, her extensive body of work that is unparalleled, and the icing on the cake, her longevity. 25 years and still relevant is no joke. Wow I am so proud of this woman, she's a fighter in every sense of the word and a winner (as Tyga pointed out). Listening to the Fifth Harmony record made me smile. Carey like Mariah. Lol.

Re: Andrew (48,671) by Terna from Nigeria Andrew sorry but you lost me at the "Taylor Swift", such folly are you serious? Smh I can't. Find somewhere else to spit your H.A.T.E.U not here. (Saturday 20 December 2014; 22:48)

Heavenly (Can't give up/No ways tired) (47,975) by Terna from Nigeria This song is so uplifting and healing. Everytime I listen to it, there's this calm and reassurance I experience. Also her voice on this track is on another level entirely (those high falsettos and whistles cut like steel), I haven't heard her sing with such raw emotion and power since "Fly Like a Bird". I remember watching "House of Payne" a while back and there was this episode where the character Cassie Davis plays sang this song when her son Calvin got shot and was battling for his life in a coma, I was very touched by that episode and came to realize then that it's a faith song first and foremost and then a Victor's song too. So immediately I saw it on the tracklistings as the album closer, my heart smiled. I am glad Mariah covered this song and interpreted it in such a powerful way, I do want Mariah to go full-on gospel. Now that would be a career defining moment. (Wednesday 19 November 2014; 22:45)

The tour and her voice (47,641) by Terna from Nigeria There was so much to be said with the first show in Tokyo Japan about the current state of her voice with some even questioning if she still had it, forgetting Mariah hasn't performed in 4 years, that's a long time. I guess nothing can be said now. The haters have been proven wrong once again. Makes one even wonder why they keep trying smh. I have a feeling Mariah is gonna re-release MIAM again or even a totally brand new album next year 2015, with once again killer vocals seeing as the tour is putting her voice in a great place, reminiscent of the Charmbracelet tour before The Emancipation Of Mimi.

Thirsty haters (46,345) by Terna from Nigeria For the real lambs in here, don't believe everything you read camouflaged as "news". Pay no attention nor second thoughts to it. (Sunday 24 August 2014; 21:14)

Re Bill (46,015) by Terna from Nigeria Thanks Bill, Glad you liked it. Though you know you're just reaching huh? With the three theory trying to make it happen, it's not gonna happen. Sound familiar? Lol. I need lamb friends on Twitter @Auraboyz. (Tuesday 12 August 2014; 15:46)

The number 5 (45,996) by Terna from Nigeria 5 is Mariah's lucky number. I'll tell you why. Its a number that reoccurs one too many times in her career to just be a coincidence, so lets count. Mariah has a voice that spans 5 octaves, her first 5 singles ever to chart all reached the pole position on the Billboard charts. Her fifth album "Daydream" released in 1995 (the year Mariah turned 25) is her biggest LP until today. "One Sweet Day", the biggest song from the album, spent 16 weeks atop the Billboard (a record she still holds) is recorded logically by 5 people, counting the 4 members of Boyz II Men and Mariah. The song coincidentally is her tenth number one on the Billboard chart (a multiple of 5). The Emancipation Of Mimi released in 2005 as Mariah turned 35 was an even bigger album than Daydream containing the monster hit "We belong Together" which cemented her legendary status, proving this endearing chanteuse was here to stay. On We belong Together Mariah sings the final chorus in the fifth octave landing on C5, that final belt is the longest in recorded pop history. Wow so many fives lol. Now do you still think it's a coincidence? (Monday 11 August 2014; 17:33)

Re: Anthony (45,288) by Terna from Nigeria Your post made me smile. Its funny but kinda strange how our experiences are the same as Mariah fans, yet were totally different people in different locations lol. I also agree with your observation that Mariah hasn't changed the way most stars do and totally lose themselves in the process. It's truly all in her eyes, those big bright bambi innocent eyes. She's only wiser now and knows the power she possesses - that voice. (Wednesday 9 July 2014; 14:29)

Camouflage, wall of voices (44,179) by Terna from Nigeria I have this song on repeat, sitting here with a smile on my face, just reveling in the beauty of this album and especially this song. It sounds like something that was left off Music Box straight outta '93 (I swear I hear the Price sisters on backup lol). Has anyone else noticed her use of a "wall of voices" effect on this new album? In the past Mariah used it to great effect, most notably ATYNAF and Music Box particularly. With this new album MIAM, she revisits that technique once again and the results are stellar. My fave tracks include Faded, Cry, Dedicated, #Beautiful (I loved this one since last year), You're Mine (did you notice the matchstick sound?),Make It Look Good, You Don't Know What To Do (someone needs to shut that Wale up, he's getting in the way of the vocal performance lol), Supernatural, Meteorite, The Art Of Letting Go (outstanding), Money and Heavenly. 9.5 Stars out of 10. (Wednesday 28 May 2014; 1:30)

Me. I Am Mariah....The Elusive Chantuese (43,978) by Terna from Nigeria I purposely stayed away from reading this message board and the many different opinions floating around about the new album, because I wanted to have my own opinion about the music without being subconsciously biased as a result of something negative that might have been said. Having said this, I have heard the album in its entirety and I absolutely love it, every single song (a first with Mariah) I didn't skip any song, it really has no fillers. Of course with every Mariah Carey album maybe I'll have favorites, but for now it's too early to tell. One track though that stood out, hit me with goosebumps and gave me that euphoria only Mariah can give was "Supernatural" the melody, the production, the raw power and grit she sings with and the giggling of dem babies, Perfection. There's love overload on that track. Lol. (Thursday 22 May 2014; 0:13)

You Don't Know What To Do (43,705) by Terna from Nigeria I absolutely love it. With just one listen the hook is stuck in my head, like something straight out of Music Box lol. I also love Thirsty too it's kinda like a hybrid of Migrate and Obsessed. Listening to the songs released so far one can tell this album's gonna be up there with her best work. She's bringing her A game for this new album. (Friday 16 May 2014; 20:12)

Me. I Am Mariah The Elusive Chanteuse (43,127) by Terna from Nigeria This stuff is starting now. I love this title and the artwork, I'm getting TEOM vibes. This is her most elaborate album title yet lol. I love it. Did you guys notice it' the same photoshoot for TAOLG single? ay 27th isn't too far a pushback and it gives her and her team enough promo time leading up to the album release. I read somewhere that the album title trended on twitter for hours shortly after it was announced. Wow, Mariah's a genius. (Thursday 1 May 2014; 12:46)

Almost Home alternate version (43,076) by Terna from Nigeria On YouTube I found this. It's a different version from the regular one we know, and also different autotune free vocals. (Thursday 1 May 2014; 1:43)

Marissa (42,943) by Terna from Nigeria Nobody's here for all that noise you keep making about "not buying the album when it drops". Yeah right when we all know you'll be one of the first people to rush out and buy it. Just spare us the headaches for having to hear you say it for the umpteenth time, you're beginning to sound like a broken record. (Sunday 27 April 2014; 3:34)

Billboard cover (42,894) by Terna from Nigeria It's funny how all the drama subsided the minute this promo pic surfaced, and now news of the possible digital album surprise release, maybe word of the twitter wars with JD got to her ears lol. I'm loving this Billboard cover though, it's simple and grabs one's attention, the colored version is even more stunning. Mariah is a beautiful woman. I'm getting Music Box album cover artwork and also Obsessed (the single artwork) vibes from it though. (Friday 25 April 2014; 17:13)

Eric the webmaster (42,774) by Terna from Nigeria You've been actively censoring posts latetly, blotching out words and sometimes phrases you feel are inappropriate, yet a whole post by Angelo, a very disrespecting and insulting post went unedited and uncensored. Makes one wonder what exactly the criteria is you use when censoring messages. [Angelo did not disrespect Mariah, he's just very upset about the delay and seeing other messages he's not the only one. He only said Mariah should be ashamed for pushing back the album agian and again.] (Tuesday 22 April 2014; 3:51)

Re: Shame (42,751) by Angelo (42,773) by Terna from Nigeria In my fourteen years of coming to this site, I have never read a message more disrespectful than this message you posted. What where you thinking? Honestly, you should be ashamed of yourself for cooking up something so vile, all because there's an unconfirmed rumour of an album pushback. And shame to all of you guys who gave him thumbs up for disrespecting Mariah like that. Sometimes I wonder what some of you take Mariah for. Its such a pity to see such on a Mariah fan site, the one place one would hope to see positive things being said about her. (Tuesday 22 April 2014; 3:36)

Re: Randy (42,398) (42,409) by Terna from Nigeria Sorry Randy, I do not see the humour in that post suppossedly just for laughs. "Mariah buried" really? I didn't know you wished her dead. I found that post offensive and insensitive, borderline just straight up malicious coming from a fan. And don't get me wrong, I'll laugh at a good joke even if it's about Mariah, as long as it doesn't cross that line to come across as disturbing and your joke did. That's the woman's body of work, a lifetime's work you playing with trying to make a joke out of. "Arm-bracelet"? I'm guessing this in reference to her shoulder injury last year that affected her arm. I refuse to see the humour in this as it's just insensitive. Just saying. (Monday 31 March 2014; 19:18)

Nick Cannon (42,391) by Terna from Nigeria I bet when Nick sits back at home and replays that interview he'll realize how bad he came across. A gentleman never kisses and tells. His kids are gonna grow up someday, maybe stumble upon it on YouTube and have to hear all that. Someone was like it doesn't tell on Mariah if Nick's behaving badly and it doesn't affect her career, but I beg to differ, he is her better half now, she's even the first person that would be though of every time he slips up (Isn't that Mariah Carey's husband?), heck it's even mostly always about Mariah like in this interview. They've been together almost six years and also have two kids together so when he's prone to run his mouth, it should occur to him that he's a father and a husband now, even before a celeb and that should keep him grounded, with that clown act out the window. (Sunday 30 March 2014; 14:07)

Your anniversary (42,343) by Terna from Nigeria Happy birthday Mariah. I pray that God in his infinite mercy continues to keep you and protect you and your family, Morrocan and Monroe your kids and Nick your husband. And every other person dear to you. Have a beautiful birthday Mariah Carey. Lots of love. (Thursday 27 March 2014; 0:33)

Just a thought (42,270) by Terna from Nigeria I have a feeling Mariah is working on more than one album, that would explain a lot. Knowing how unsurpportive IDJ have become rescently, she's not about to let them ruin this era with their issues. She is much aware of the fact they are to blame over the underperformance of MOAIA and the wrong single choices since E=MC2 era. She might be working on two albums, one to fufill her contract with IDJ and the second for the new label. (Friday 21 March 2014; 19:08)

Re (42,169) by Mimi L., fave album covers (42,225) by Terna from Nigeria I'm glad you liked it, you know someone had to say it, just as "a brief little reminder to help them remember". Sound familiar? Lol. (Wednesday 19 March 2014; 14:53)

Ariana Grande, my two cents (42,157) by Terna from Nigeria There is only one Mariah Carey. (Sunday 16 March 2014; 19:27)

Re Clueey23 thoughts (41,955) (41,977) by Terna from Nigeria I love your posts, reading them one can tell you're not a fan who blindly supports each and everything Mariah does, but at the same time you're constructive in your criticisms and optimistic, even when things seem bleak. There's been way too much negatity on this board lately and your posts are indeed a breath of fresh air. (Tuesday 4 March 2014; 12:32)

You're Mine (41,189) by Terna from Nigeria I Love it. It's sleek and mellow, just really a lovers' jam. Melodic wise, it's very catchy and sits in your mind with just one listen. Just beautiful. I also love how its hooks aren't even obvious, and those vocals are on point. Mariah Carey is indeed a music genius. Currently it sits at No.11 on iTunes USA so I guess it resonates with the general public. Congrats Mariah for yet another gem added to your already vast body of work. Lots of love.
