About Libra Lamb from USA: Mariah Stan! ❤️

#1 Relevance, new album (106,793) by Libra Lamb from USA I won't speak for others but I'd buy singles for tracks that were not released on the album, mostly imported singles, my intention was never to push a song to chart. Even if I was ever compelled to push a song to chart, I'm impressed that MC convinced enough people, fans or not, to buy her singles and support her songs a total of 19 times, especially if the song was "forgettable". Regardless of how they were obtained, it is not as easy as some people want to make it out to be. Otherwise everyone would have several number 1 hits. Not many acts from 1990 are still around or relevant. (Sunday 23 June 2024; 15:58) this is a reply to message 106,792

#1 Relevance, new album (106,792) by Randy from USA Let me hop on in here. I have read in a magazine that only a true fan would know the difference between Fantasy, Honey and Heartbreaker. Also, when I used to argue with Whitney Houston stans in the late 90s/early 00s that yes Whitney is consistent on stage but MC has more number 1s, their argument would be most of MCs are forgotten. If you can find a non-fan that knows all of the words to I Don't Wanna Cry or TGIFY I'd be shocked. I'm from the last generation and I'm also a chart nerd. We pushed a lot of number ones by buying physical singles to albums we already had. The airplay was minimal on her song before the single was released. Hell, we do it now. How many times have I come on here to see people begging us to stay up all night streaming something. Now here's where I completely contradict what I just said. I have had a horrible school year and am leaving my present school. So I've been playing death songs on my smart board. You know, One Sweet Day, Crossroads by Bone Thugs. Well, Bye Bye was playing and the office clerk who is half my age ran into my room and started singing it. I was floored. I said what do you know about this song. She said it's among her favorites. Mine too even [though] this board constantly decimates it because it didn't go to number one. That's an argument for another day. I guess my point is there is truth to both sides of the argument. Songs are over pushed by fans (come on you all Loverboy made it to #2) but then there are factors that make a song more relevant than a chart position shows (come on you all Cyndi Lauper's Girls Just Wanna Have Fun stalled at #2). New album. It's so funny because I feel like everyone wants MC to create SZA, HER and Muni Long vibes. I am thinking [Barbra] Streisand, Liza Minelli, Diana Ross. I don't wanna be ageist but Mariah is 55 years old and you all want her on trends with the hottest producers? I do think MC needs to release an album because her fan base grew up on albums. Cardi B can release singles for years continuously promising she's working on an album. Mariah can't do that, hopping on remixes late is kinda silly. But whatever. Carey-on.

Hey C, Mariah Carey has 19 number 1 hits (106,788) by Libra Lamb from USA For arguments sake, which of these "new girls" is a true contender for 20 number 1 hits? Since it's such a possibility there should be at least several answers. I'll wait. Don't you guys think that if it was that easy to obtain it, everyone would have multiple number 1 hits? At least use a possible real life situation if you're going to start an argument. I'm sorry but you're coming across as painfully young and naive. Furthermore, I am not here to defend my loyalty and love for the one and only Mariah Carey to you or anyone else. If you don't like it, don't read my posts. There's some posts I scroll right on by when I see the name. I don't stop to ask dumb questions. All dumb questions will be met with stupid answers. I guarantee it. (Sunday 23 June 2024; 04:44)

Rainbow 25 (106,787) by Libra Lamb from USA The only one coming off as bothered or pressed here is you C. Facts are facts and opinions are just that. See the distinction? I will continue to post whatever I feel like on here even if it bothers you. Now I know that will be a plus. Old Town Road, forgot about it until you mentioned it. No one like a know it all.

Rainbow 25 (106,780) by Alexis Carrington-Colby from United States Even she has "forgotten" some of the #1 hits. We're in a safe space here - we don't need to use those "defend my queen" arguments that we use in other places. Y'all have overplayed that #1s argument so much that if one of these new girls ever gets 20, y'all will be sick about it. Look at that way [Old town road] destroyed some of yall. Let.

She has been practicing lip synching (106,786) by Libra Lamb from USA I hope no one feels the need to explain anything to you. I certainly do not. Moving on. (Sunday 23 June 2024; 03:22) this is a reply to message 106,781

She has been practicing lip synching (106,781) by Alexis Carrington-Colby from United States Can I ask a real question? What does all of this defense do for you? You have crafted an entire defense that sounds absolutely fantastical. What unspoken truths don't you want to say out loud that you've been compelled to craft this argument to provide some cognitive dissonance in order to remain a "real lamb"? I want to understand the psychology behind this "slay, queen" mindset in the lambily. (Sunday 23 June 2024; 02:18)

Rainbow 25 (106,785) by Libra Lamb from USA I don't know who you think you are talking to but it ain't me and I'm not the one. My opinions are my own, yours are your own. I stand by them. If you're sick and tired maybe don't read my posts C. Keep it moving. That's why this is a safe space. (Sunday 23 June 2024; 03:17) this is a reply to message 106,780

Rainbow 25 (106,777) by Libra Lamb from USA I've never seen or heard anyone say MC's number ones are forgettable. I believe a lot of "pop stars" are forgettable and no single act has more number ones than Mariah. She's the epitome of success and actual talent. Jealousy is a killer. Pray for those poor souls.

Rainbow 25 (106,769) by "MariahHater" from Hell This is my most least spun album of hers. This re release made me drop my jaw on how'd she pulled an album in less than a year with 2 No. 1s. Totally not my repetitive album but this album slaps so hard. Had new found appreciation with Petals, Rainbow Interlude, Rainbow's End (despite lacking big house vocals). Living in the 90s might be something I will be pondering all over my life. I really wish to see a Mariah resurgence aside from Christmas. Excited for Glitter and Charmie 25. I believe she is the only artist that can celebrate her album anniversaries with pride and power because she did this organically. Some says her number ones are forgettable and I believe not because depending on which continent you are, Mariah has at least 5 unforgettable songs etched into their bloodstream regardless of age group. Yes there are the new pop gurlies out there but nobody ever did something like dem oldies. Calling and manifesting to the universe to grant thy wish of having to see her number 1 outside Christmas again. (Saturday 22 June 2024; 05:02)

She has been practicing lip synching (106,776) by Libra Lamb from USA Mariah is a master at throwing shade. Nobody deserved it more than J Lo. I’ve never been happier to see someone fall as hard as she’s falling right now. Well played MC. Karma is a real beeotch. (Sunday 23 June 2024; 00:34) this is a reply to message 106,775

She has been practicing lip synching (106,775) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway I think what has happened the last couple of years, is that Mariah has had a very good lip synching coach. We all know Celine Dion is the master of lip synching, nobody accuses her of doing it, but we all know she has almost whole concerts with just lip synching. Mariah is relaxing on stage now, doesn't try to pretend to sing live, just doing the emotions in her face without lifting an eyebrow, and it works, it actually looks like she is singing, it works brilliantly. The playback is her real curent voice, but to not experience the fear of being caught out, she does that now, I sing it's soothing for her. And, by the way, Mariah is being seen the heroine in this Jen**fer Lo**z downfall, and that might have something to do with new found respect Mariah is recieving in the world right now. Mariah called out the girl she doesn't know in a very classy way 25 years ago. Karma is a bi**h, isn't it? (Sunday 23 June 2024; 00:10)

Spring or fall album release preference (106,743) by Libra Lamb from USA That’s right. The only acceptance that matters is your own. Other people’s opinions, family included, do not matter. No one lives their life according to us so why should we do the same? Choose yourself, every time. (Wednesday 19 June 2024; 00:34) this is a reply to message 106,739

Spring or fall album release preference (106,739) by Bobby A from United States Thank you Shezz. I am learning this year to just be me and not worry about seeking acceptance from others. (Tuesday 18 June 2024; 15:03)

Favorite Rainbow track (106,731) by Libra Lamb from USA So I've been really enjoying this new anniversary edition of Rainbow and the song that stood out the most for it's haunting, sincere lyrics and vulnerability is Petals. I absolutely love this song, though it's always been one of my favorites, lately I can really appreciate how beautiful and real it is. Mariah does her best writing when she dives deep into her personal heartaches and lets the pen flow. The Petals Pound Boys remixes are really good too, it's a shame they were excluded from the MC30 releases. Do you have a new favorite Rainbow track? I know it's hard to pick just one. (Monday 17 June 2024; 15:46)

Yours ft. JT (106,693) by Libra Lamb from USA I feel the exact same way about everything you said. Solo Mariah is much better. (Friday 14 June 2024; 23:34) this is a reply to message 106,690

Yours ft. JT (106,690) by Terna from Nigeria Honestly, I'm not stoked for a release of the song knowing the back story as to why it never saw the light of day. I'm also never really into her duets or features, since to me those other artists are a distraction. Lol. That's just me though. (Friday 14 June 2024; 21:57)

Rainbow 25 (106,689) by Libra Lamb from USA Lol I miss the 90s too Jamie. I go back and revisit in my memories, probably too often. Some of my favorite albums and movies are from the 90s. But going to the store to buy the Rainbow CD on release day was such a high feeling. Enjoy the album and your weekend. (Friday 14 June 2024; 21:39) this is a reply to message 106,684

Rainbow 25 (106,684) by Jamie from UK It's always the 90's in my house lol. (Friday 14 June 2024; 17:16)

Rainbow 25 (106,688) by Libra Lamb from USA Thank you again Tevin. I will definitely enjoy the Rainbow album, reuniting with my husband and a delicious Cuban sandwich on the trip back home. Lol enjoy the weekend and the album as well. (Friday 14 June 2024; 21:24) this is a reply to message 106,686

Rainbow 25 (106,686) by Tevin from USA Lol. It seems like people either love or hate Florida, for multiple reasons lol. Safe travels and enjoy Rainbow 25. (Friday 14 June 2024; 20:21)

Rainbow 25 (106,683) by Libra Lamb from USA Thank you Tevin, I wish I shared the same sentiment. I do not like Tampa at all, or most of Florida for that fact. Barf. I'm glad you enjoy it and many people do but it's not for me. Sorry my response may be too sincere. Have a great weekend. (Friday 14 June 2024; 16:20) this is a reply to message 106,670

Rainbow 25 (106,670) by Tevin from USA Oh I love Tampa. I have to visit that area again one day. Have fun. (Friday 14 June 2024; 03:55)

Rainbow 25 (106,682) by Libra Lamb from USA After listening to the reissued album last night, I too have a new found appreciation for Rainbow. I absolutely love it. There For Me and it's acapella version? I can't believe it. I'm ecstatic and I love Rainbow's End. Just what we needed for Summer. Feels like 1999 again, not really, but whatever. Have a great weekend. Stream and buy if y'all can. Thank you Mariah. (Friday 14 June 2024; 16:15) this is a reply to message 106,679

Rainbow 25 (106,679) by Bobby A from United States We can finally hear the whole album in a different way. I have a new love for Rainbow now. Tommy was really getting to MC and it is reflected vocally throughout the album. I wonder can a Rainbow documentary be made compiling video footage from 1999-2001. (Friday 14 June 2024; 13:48)

Rainbow 25 (106,664) by Libra Lamb from USA Same here. Road trip to Tampa. I love that it's been remastered. I can't wait. (Thursday 13 June 2024; 21:28) this is a reply to message 106,663

Rainbow 25 (106,663) by Tevin from USA I'm going to be blasting this album on my road trip up north this weekend. I can't wait. (Thursday 13 June 2024; 21:00)

Rainbow 25 (106,661) by Libra Lamb from USA I'm super exited about the track list. Well at least the 6 new songs I don't have in my collection already. I was hoping for more unreleased and rare tracks. It will still be fire. (Thursday 13 June 2024; 20:36) this is a reply to message 106,659

Rainbow 25 (106,659) by BFF from United States I just saw a full bonus track list of Rainbow25 posted on Mariah Report. I don't know if it's legit but seems plausible. I see a version of "Thank God I Found You" with Mariah only and two different versions of "Rainbow's End" listed. I wonder if Mariah recorded a ballad version of "Rainbow's End" in addition to the house version with David Morales. (Thursday 13 June 2024; 19:46)

The Boy Is Mine (106,633) by Libra Lamb from USA I agree with you. Great song. Great album by Ari. Another missed opportunity with MC. Hindsight is in fact 20/20. Ugh. (Tuesday 11 June 2024; 23:21) this is a reply to message 106,617

The Boy Is Mine (106,617) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ariana's got another hit coming with this new song. I would've love a collab with Mariah on the original of this song instead of "Yes, and?". Also the video is amazing, I mean stalking the ultimate stalker, Penn Badgley (You and Gossip Girl) and paying homage to Batman/Catwoman universe all in one, iconic. I hope Mariah invests in her music video with concept. Ariana's BIM and We Can't Be Friends music videos both have so much replay value and I love all the homages she does in these videos and previously too in Than You, Next, 34+35 etc. (Sunday 9 June 2024; 05:08)

Article: Mariah surprises with her first career hit on one chart (106,616) by Libra Lamb from USA I'm glad to see this too. I've purchased the single and I can't stop streaming it. I do hope it continues to grow. The friends that I've shared it with all loved it and all said it was "different" for her. Positive feedback so far. It's a fantastic song. Now if we can just get an album full of this. (Sunday 9 June 2024; 03:25) this is a reply to message 106,608

Article: Mariah surprises with her first career hit on one chart (106,608) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway This was a nice surprise. (Friday 7 June 2024; 11:28)

Nice article (106,615) by Libra Lamb from USA I can definitely agree here. The lyrics in some songs gave me hope when I was going through stuff at a young age. And still do. MC's music has touched so many lives and will continue to do so. New fans and "Lambs" are born everyday. She's legendary. (Sunday 9 June 2024; 03:19) this is a reply to message 106,609

Nice article (106,609) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway This is a very nice article, and I think we all can agree to this. Mariah's music speaks to me the exact same way, and in some periods of my life, Mariah has been my best friend. (Friday 7 June 2024; 11:57)

BMA (106,605) by Libra Lamb from USA I watched the video. I'm no vocal coach or expert by any means but what they said makes sense though. Very interesting. It's all I'm gonna say about it. (Thursday 6 June 2024; 18:50) this is a reply to message 106,602

BMA (106,602) by Tevin from USA Have you all ever heard of a YouTube channel called Black Music Archive? I used to watch his videos all the time, but the lambs are going in on him for his video he dropped yesterday. Him and his "experts" basically used the entire video to bash Mariah calling her whistle register a party trick. SMH. (Thursday 6 June 2024; 05:39)

Rainbow25 (106,593) by Libra Lamb from USA I think the Rainbow remix should definitely be released during the month of Pride, like yesterday, the album probably in November when everyone's hearing AIWFCIY played everywhere. Please Mariah release the Rainbow remix already. It's June 3rd. (Monday 3 June 2024; 23:38) this is a reply to message 106,591

Rainbow25 (106,591) by Jamie from UK Do you think we will have to wait till November for Rainbow25 and the remix. As that’s when the album was originally released or do you think she do it during Pride period? (Monday 3 June 2024; 11:19)

Danceriah appreciation post (106,586) by Libra Lamb from USA My favorite parts are "it's haaaard" and "I gotta think about it" and duh of course everything else the song offers. There's so many genres and music styles used in a 16 minute song that it offers something different for everyone. Also, I love Mariah's laughter on any song, it is so sweet. Such a good song. Her ballads make the best House and Club mixes. I'm so excited for the Rainbow Club Mix we've been promised with the Rainbow 25 celebration. Happy Pride Month to anyone celebrating themselves and/or loved ones. (Sunday 2 June 2024; 23:22) this is a reply to message 106,580

Danceriah appreciation post (106,580) by Shezz from Pk This afternoon I was listening to the Portrait remix again (which has really grown on me, it really is a masterpiece) and it led me to revisit her other dance tracks (remixes) totally oblivious to the fact that Pride month has just started. Of course then I stumbled onto Spotify Pride lists and of course Mariah's impressive collection of house music was nowhere to be found. It wasn't that they were featuring younger artists only, there was plenty of Madonna. Only Mariah track on the list was Fantasy right at the end. So sad that her incredible house mixes haven't reached the masses. Spotify needs to up their game. Happy Pride month everybody. I can't wait for the Rainbow remix now. (Sunday 2 June 2024; 14:47)

Caution is probably better than TEOM (106,585) by Libra Lamb from USA I kinda have to agree with you here. The success and bragging rights came after Emancipation. It paved the way and wrote the story for what we are getting right now, everything happens for a reason. Glitter was a disaster era but Emancipation was the big comeback that not many are afforded in the music industry. The voice. That was pure talent, don't get twisted. That same talent is still there and is saying "Don't count me out yet" with her latest releases. I don't mind getting a song here and there as long as they are Portrait remix quality. Xoxos and happy Pride Month Lambily. (Sunday 2 June 2024; 23:13) this is a reply to message 106,581

Caution is probably better than TEOM (106,581) by Terna from Nigeria Um no Sir, just no. The Emancipation Of Mimi was more than just a massive [era], that album literally saved Mariah from being a relic from the 90's, especially after the way her image, reputation and public perception had been dragged through the mud and negatively, intentionally altered by the media, since they held the narrative back then. Basically what they tried so hard to insinuate was that Mariah Carey was now a clown, not to be taken seriously at all. Smh. Until she was not, she deliberately took that narrative back and forced that respect, whether they liked it or not. She needed a monster hit not just a very good song but an undeniable classic, and that's exactly what "We Belong Together" was - a miracle and the kind of magic most artists don't achieve in their careers. This album out of all her other albums is in a lane of its own, and is also a crossing over from Icon to [legendary] status for her. "Caution" is Mariah resting pretty on her laurels safe, secure, untouchable and respected of course, with nothing more to prove. "The Emancipation of Mimi" make no mistake is the main reason for this. (Sunday 2 June 2024; 15:15)
