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.

Her voice (38,565) by Terna from Nigeria It's a case of neglect, nothing more. There are a few factors: The champagne (I think Eminem was right, our songbird has a vice). She doesn't always warmup, either hence the cracking and "all over the place" registers. When she does do it right, cutting down the champagne, warmups and breathing exercises, you get that full sonorous sound ala "Almost Home". But most damaging is definitely the champagne. Remember how at the end of Wise Girls she had to be appeased with a gift by the other two actresses? Now what was that gift again? That I bet wasn't part of the script. Lol.

Re: Stacey (38,529) by Terna from Nigeria What Grammy performance are you talking about? The 2006 one where she did We Belong Together and segued into Fly Like A Bird? That was 100 percent live. I suggest you watch it again. Her adlibs are even different on the Grammy performance and more raw. So Mariah lips, big deal. All the others do it too. It's not the end of the world. I'd rather see she does it once in awhile instead of singing live every single time. As a singer you save your voice and use it only when necessary, that's your primary instrument.

#Beautiful Remix (38,404) by Terna from Nigeria One word: #horrid. Was this even previewed before being released? I don't think this is official. Is it? If it is, then I think there's a problem. (Thursday 27 June 2013; 0:32)

WBT on GMA (38,054) by Terna from Nigeria The final big note was indeed big and that look afterwards priceless. I loved how she giggled after the soft falsetto coo just before the remix came in lol. She's suddenly so youthful, vibrant and full of life again, the best she's ever looked. I am one proud fan right now. (Monday 27 May 2013; 16:44)

#Beautiful (37,745) by Terna from Nigeria Very infectious and memorable song. The beat, vocals and harmonies are on point. I love it. I also get where that reviewer who cited Dreamlover was coming from. It sounds retro and kinda like the Stax recordings of the '70's production wise. I think Mariah's got a hit on her hands. I listened to it only once, went through the day to see if I could recall its hook with just one listen, lets just say I hummed the song all day. Lol. I think the hashtag's cool and kinda also innovative in terms of using Twitter to promote it. That made the song trend worldwide in just a few hours. Somone here referred to the duo as "Mimiguel". Lol. That made me crack up. (Tuesday 7 May 2013; 15:02)

WBT March 29th release (37,505) by Terna from Nigeria Ok, just a shoutout to Mariah, also to acknowledge the anniversary of this masterpiece. This marked the end of bad times for her and also for us, her lambs. Even nature seemed to acknowledge the release, because exactly a year later on this same day there was a worldwide solar eclipse lol. Always made me wonder, did Mariah's voice cause that? Lol. Enjoy your day everyone. (Friday 29 March 2013; 17:11)

March 27 anniversary (37,497) by Terna from Nigeria Happy birthday Mariah or anniversary as you like to call it. Here's to many more birthdays ahead. Do have a blessed fun day. Lots of love. (Wednesday 27 March 2013; 17:04)

Mariah's lambs (37,298) by Terna from Nigeria Mariah has the most devoted fans in the world period. I know I have been. And heck, I aint even in the United States. Forget Rihanna's navy, Gaga's monsters or Nicki's barbs; the lambs rule. Once you're a Mariah fan, I don't think you can just push her aside after awhile and move on. You keep coming back, because you've found it. She's the real deal. Eventually you form a deeper connection to her and her music, and get to understand her as a person. So I find it rather insultive to say she has apathetic or fairweather fans. That's just an opinion and a wrong one at that. (Saturday 23 February 2013; 19:20)

[...] (37,229) by Terna from Nigeria I literally have goosebumps right now. The Lambily's gonna eat this one up. Woaw. "Almost home" is easily Mariah's 19th No. 1. I think she has chemistry with Stargate. It's a very current sound, but still has that Mariah Carey flavour which makes it distinct. Look out for that all too familiar siren. The voice is back indeed, with a fiery vengeance. (Monday 18 February 2013; 21:09)

Almost Home (37,219) by Terna from Nigeria I love it already. The voice is back. The reason I got drawn to her in the first place. Her belt is different from the rest. (Sunday 17 February 2013; 16:02)

Videos (36,723) by Terna from Nigeria Mariah's not Rihanna and Rihanna's definitely not Mariah. One's an artist with raw talent who got to where she is today based on that undeniable talent, the other's just a commercial artist with no artistic direction designed to sell records and notch in as many number 1's as possible. Having "artistic" videos as you put it is part of the equation to move units. PS: There is absolutely nothing wrong with the Triumphant video. (Sunday 11 November 2012; 16:47)

Zachary (36,389) by Terna from Nigeria So sorry about your brother. You gotta be strong now for the family he left behind. Lots of love and support from us, your extended family. (Sunday 30 September 2012; 23:36)

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)
