Re: Lullaby remix (97,267) (97,269) by MusicfanJ from Germany I love "Lullaby" too. Since first listen. Such a cool, dreamy song. (Tuesday 2 February 2021; 12:25)

Re: I don't care if Mariah gets another #1 record (97,240) (97,268) by 123 from USA I never said it with an attitude, I said it with a fact. I've seen Eric tell people on their posts that he loathes when people do that when he takes time out of his day to update the news section. Also, I disproved your original post about Mariah not having anything to prove (not a fact when she re-signed to Epic), not using current artists when she's been doing it since 95. I easily dismantled your original post and you had nothing to comeback on so instead you focused on one thing that came from a "gossip" article without posting any evidence of otherwise. You were put in your place for being a crazy lamb coming for sweet Mimi L who loves Mariah and is a realist and isn't living on Bleak Ave with the rest of the delusional lambs that say Caution was a success or give excuses when she sounds bad live or better yet claim her voice hasn't changed. You services were never needed so you are dismissed. Now check that. (Tuesday 2 February 2021; 04:17)

Re: Lullaby remix (97,265) (97,267) by Nicky from Jasmine's Sofa It's one of mine too. I thought I was alone on that. (Tuesday 2 February 2021; 02:23)

Re: Melissa (97,264) (97,266) by 123 from USA I believe that Mariah's management contract is with RocNation and not Melissa exclusively so she wouldn't have been able to leave with her. It will be interesting to see who RocNation assigns to Mariah. (Monday 1 February 2021; 18:29)

Re: Lullaby remix (97,262) (97,265) by Billy from Greece I also enjoyed it, enwar. Lullaby is one of my favourite Mariah songs. (Monday 1 February 2021; 09:06)

Re: Melissa (97,260) (97,264) by Slipping Butterfly from United States The firm Melissa went to doesn't have a third of the power Roc Nation has. Melissa wasn't a one woman show with Mariah. Three different people from Roc Nation worked with Mariah at the same time. (Monday 1 February 2021; 00:55)

Re: Melissa (97,260) (97,263) by Will from England She probably feels some form of loyalty to Jay Z and trusts him to look after her. She did well with Melissa, I doubt that Jay Z would allow someone less than her to work with Mariah, because they would be representing him as well. I don't think we will get another Stella era, but I hope she can get someone who will steer the ship just as well. Melissa got them back on track, they just need someone to take it further and higher. (Monday 1 February 2021; 00:23)

Lullaby remix (97,262) by enwar00 from usa I enjoyed this fan made mash up remix of Lullaby so thought I'd share. Now I have to watch the Hey Lover video. (Sunday 31 January 2021; 18:48)

Re: Emancipation EP's for #MC30 (97,256) (97,261) by Will from England Wasn't "Your Girl" originally supposed to be a feature song with NORE anyway? LA had the feature cut because he felt the album had too many. So the "remix" version actually is the original version that Mariah wanted on the record, we're just used to hearing the released one. Here's the interview. (Sunday 31 January 2021; 18:45)

Re: Melissa (97,259) (97,260) by T from USA Melissa has been the best manager she's had since TEOM (when she originally worked with Melissa). Now with her being a partner in a firm she probably even would have more pull. Strange Mariah didn't stick with her. (Sunday 31 January 2021; 15:28)

Melissa (97,259) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Melissa has decided to take her talents to another company where she has become partner. Mariah has decided that she wants to continue to use RocNation as her management team. She and Melissa have parted ways on amicable terms as she has left comments on Mariah's IG post showing her love. (Saturday 30 January 2021; 23:43)

Re: Mimi L. (97,257) (97,258) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter RJJ12, you are too sweet and I've missed you too and thanks for always having my back. I've always loved your posts and I thoroughly enjoy your perspectives. Hoping to post as much as I can and looking forward to seeing your posts too. I'm glad to be back. And it feels great to know that my fellow lambs actually still remember me. (Saturday 30 January 2021; 23:31)

Re: Mimi L. (97,254) (97,257) by 123 from USA Mimi L I've missed you beautiful. So glad you are back. You know I had to have your back, your post was valid and I can't have people come if for you. Glad you are posting again, we need more of your prospective. Hope you are well and congrats on your wedding. (Saturday 30 January 2021; 22:20)

Re: Emancipation EP's for #MC30 (97,248) (97,256) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Yeah, those Your Girl "remixes" are probably the worst she has put out for MC30 so far. There's just no redeeming aspect there. It's obviously a product of laziness - but even if we get creative and think of other possible reasons why such atrocious poorly and hastily copy-pasted no-mixes should ever see the light of day (let alone be part of a career retrospective series), there's just no good alternative reason either. These types of lazy "remixes" have become increasingly popular once streaming started becoming huge. Artists figured that if a another mix of one song is not too different from the original version, the charts are more likely to count points for both versions as one, hence boosting the chances of the song to chart higher. That's how Willow managed to dethrone AIWFCIY for a week last December. Even if that success is what Mariah's trying to replicate here (it isn't, it really is just a product of laziness), it's not like Your Girl is gonna chart anyway. Fly Like A Bird mixes were shelved for this bootleg quality crap? I guess we should still be grateful she's doing these EP releases at all, but man is this a disservice to the original song and somehow even its parent album. Moral of the story: if an actual decent remix does not exist, don't force it. Because cheesily echoed rap ad libs conveniently tacked on parts of the song where Mariah doesn't sing does not a remix make. (Saturday 30 January 2021; 19:07)

MC + MM (97,255) by T from USA The work he did with the Weeknd last year was insanely good. He and Mariah would make beautiful music together I believe. Max Marin I should've put in the message. (Saturday 30 January 2021; 17:55)

Re: Mimi L. (97,253) (97,254) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha thanks. I actually completely stopped writing a while back for quite a long time because I had a lot of personal stuff going on (nothing bad just a lot of changes) so I was focusing on it but I used to always check the message board and see all the familiar and new names posting. I've missed writing here and sharing my love for Mariah with other like minded people. Glad to be back and glad that my account didn't get suspended or anything haha. (Saturday 30 January 2021; 13:28)

Mimi L. (97,253) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines These past few days seems to be the most active you've been on the board in a while. Glad you're back. (Saturday 30 January 2021; 11:40)

Re: Mariah separates with manager Melissa (97,250) (97,252) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The thing is Mariah is signed with RocNation as her management. She got Melissa assigned because Melissa was a RocNation employee. Now that Melissa left but Mariah is still with RocNation, they'll be separated. Mariah didn't sign Melissa herself, RocNation did. (Saturday 30 January 2021; 02:42)

Re: Emancipation EP's for #MC30 (97,248) (97,251) by T from USA If this is going to be what it is for the rest of the eras I would've preferred she had done this all in 2020 before Christmas and 2021 could be looking towards the future. (Saturday 30 January 2021; 01:13)

Re: Mariah separates with manager Melissa (97,245) (97,250) by T from USA Usually you stay with your manager no matter where they go. That is if you're happy with their work. (Saturday 30 January 2021; 01:11)

Re: Narada Michael Walden (97,247) (97,249) by RibbonB from USA Deep sigh. (Friday 29 January 2021; 23:06)

Re: Emancipation EP's for #MC30 (97,244) (97,248) by cBerr from Canada You beat me to it. Mariah and her team should be embarrassed by the quality of those Your Girl "remixes" (if you could even call them that). It seems as though they ripped them right from a low quality mixtape and uploaded to iTunes. Again, embarrassed. I also listened to the BOTH mixes released last week though my headphones and the Junior Vasquez mixes are poor quality masters just like on the one CDR that was released. I had that promo CDR and I was really hoping these official releases would have corrected those issues. What a let-down now for two weeks in a row. (Friday 29 January 2021; 22:44)

Narada Michael Walden (97,247) by T from USA In a world where record labels invest only as much funds to your next project as based on your last one (“what have you done for me lately”) it doesn’t look good that Mariah will get the budget or the keys to work with the top producers in the industry. We know JD will always be by her side but with her influence and connections I’m sure she could still gather a good group for her next album. Narada Michael Walden just commented on her Shawn Mendez post saying that they should create a new by together and to reach out. So even if Sony doesn’t set up those expensive producer/writer camps or shells out for Cardi B and Drake, she can still create a mega hit album if she chooses to. PS. Walter would also be game.

Re: TEOM appreciation post (97,243) (97,246) by Terna from Nigeria "The Emancipation of Mimi" era is Mariah Carey's perfect era. Everything went as planned or even better, from the single choices to the live performances - some of her best live vocals were from this era, she had something to prove that she was far from over and boy did it show. I believe this was the album that finally gave Mariah her respect and moved her from icon to legendary status in the industry. I can honestly say it is the biggest comeback ever in the music industry until date. I am loving today's MC 30 as this is easily my best Mariah era, and the one I cherish the most. That record has never left my playlist and it never will. Happy new year guys. (Friday 29 January 2021; 22:20)

Re: Mariah separates with manager Melissa (97,233) (97,245) by Slipping Butterfly from United States Melissa hasn't been Mariah manager since February '20. She didn't split from Mariah, she split from Roc Nation. Mariah management team is still Roc Nation. (Friday 29 January 2021; 21:16)
