About Lara from Middle East: I discovered Mariah with "always be my baby"...Got hooked by "my all"..didnt know it was the same artist back then..I couldn't (yet) understand what she was singing! Since then, I've been a big fan and rediscovered her catalogue and appreciate her even more...Searching for her lyrics was my way to learn english :)

Parodies (60,298) by Lara from Middle East Every new hit is getting a parody, look at Adele's "Hello" how many parodies it got on YouTube. The lyrics need to be simple, the tune straightforward (less layering) at least at the beginning so people could copy it. Imagine Fantasy released now. I'd do a parody of it and switch the lyrics to "sleep sleep tiny baby, when [...] close [...] eyes [...] make me so happy" lol (it's the sleep deprived mom talking here).

JL Epic move (60,177) by Lara from Middle East Well maybe now we can have a duet? (Friday 4 March 2016; 15:56)

Re: Dior hire Mariah already (60,044) (60,049) by Lara from Middle East Yes totally a mash up of WBT and Honey. And you can add a bit of "Say something" with the Paris shoots. Good point, why didnt Mariah got to represent a major fashion house/brand? (Saturday 27 February 2016; 12:11)

Re: Who is going to the show in Krakow? (60,034) (60,035) by Lara from Middle East I'm traveling to Poland (Krakow) in April, but I'm still waiting for the dates from my work. Crossing my fingers it will be when MC comes to Krakow. (Friday 26 February 2016; 14:27)

New single (60,013) by Lara from Middle East Apparently it's the collaboration with beyoncé. OKTV will have an interview with her and she's singing a snippet on it. I can hardly wait. (Thursday 25 February 2016; 18:59)

New look (59,690) by Lara from Middle East Yes definitely I want the brown hair back, I think blonde makes her look older, plus we might feel like having 90s Mariah back, the 20 year old one. (Monday 8 February 2016; 18:23)

Similarity (59,402) by Lara from Middle East Every time I listen to OMI's track "Hula hoop" I remember Mariah's song "Make it look good". Can you guess why? (Thursday 28 January 2016; 20:22)

Re: Instagram (59,177) (59,178) by Lara from Middle East Oh ok, but still I find it strange they both choose a quote about hate, no? Never mind, I'm looking for some drama. (Monday 18 January 2016; 21:11)

Instagram (59,176) by Lara from Middle East Now can someone tell me what's going on with Mariah's and Nick's Instagrams? Are they sending each other messages or am I seeing too much? (Monday 18 January 2016; 20:06)

Re: Lambily opinion: Mariah's easiest song? (59,025) (59,038) by Lara from Middle East I though Always Be My Baby was easy to sing untill I've tried it in a karaoke. Wow that sounded so different from singing it in the car, especially when you try to concentrate not to make the same hand movements lol. I guess if you have some skills, Hero is relatively easy (I think this is why most people chose to cover it) or Prisoner if you choose one of her unknown gems. (Monday 11 January 2016; 18:50)

Re: Touch My Body - 100M Vevo Certified (57,752) (57,754) by Lara from Middle East Is there a site where you can check these numbers? How can you know it's getting 500,000 views per week? Interesting. (Wednesday 11 November 2015; 13:54)

Re: Single release strategy / Hello (57,629) by Lara from Middle East The Art Of Letting Go has a lot of similarities with Hello: their titles rhyme together (lol), both start with minimal production, talking about a old relationship. TALG could use an easier to remember chorus and it needed a video quickly. Another gem gone to waste. (Tuesday 3 November 2015; 17:21)

MAC (57,542) by Lara from Middle East I've just read an article where they're announcing that Ariana Grande is launching a new lipstick for them. For real? (Wednesday 28 October 2015; 22:03)

Ariana (not a reply) (57,467) by Lara from Middle East On the radio I heard a song by Ariana so I shazamed it and it turned out that it's another singer "Pia M(ar)IA" singing "Do it again". My point Ariana may be a good singer and because of that she dared covering Mariah's songs but what makes our elusive chanteuse stands out is her tone. Velvety, buttery, soothing, you name it. Her voice is immediately recognizable. That's for me more important than her range and belts. Anyone can learn to sing but not every voice is "studiogenic". (Thursday 22 October 2015; 22:43)

License to kill (57,466) by Lara from Middle East I read an article that was ranking James Bond themes with the links for each song and i came across "License to Kill" by Gladys Knight. The first few seconds are surprisingly so close to Mariah's "Can't let Go". Any one else agree? (Thursday 22 October 2015; 22:30)

Collaboration (57,338) by Lara from Middle East I would love to hear a duet of Mariah with Enrique Iglesias. I feel their voices would blend nicely together. A song reminiscent of My All maybe? (Writing a list to Saint Nick.) (Friday 16 October 2015; 22:05)

Re: my wishlist (57,326) by Lara from Middle East That's so funny, we lambs are on the same wavelengh. I was just thinking a couple of days ago that if Sony would ever release a new compilation it should be named "Giving chances" and will contain songs most lambs love but didn't get a chance to be released (or released improperly). Mariah Carey: Vanishing / Prisoner Emotions: So blessed / If it's over Music Box: Never forget you Daydream: Melt away / Underneath the stars Butterfly: The roof Rainbow: After tonight Glitter: Lead the way / If we Charmbracelet: I only wanted / Yours (wasn't there a version with Justin Timberlake?) TEOM: Stay the night (although I think that album had [...] choices) E=MC2: Migrate / O.O.C MOIA: Betcha' gon know / It's a wrap MIAMTEC: YDKWTD, Meteorite, MILG, Faded And who knows what other recorded-never-released gems she's hiding?

Re: Article: Mariah Carey explains album delay in letter to fans (57,227) (57,229) by Lara from Middle East Ah ok, it's the letter from 2013. I thought there was a new letter (how awesome would that be). No I'm not new, but I open the site from my phone and the format here doesn't show me the history (neither the discography). (Sunday 11 October 2015; 21:09)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey explains album delay in letter to fans (57,222) (57,223) by Lara from Middle East Where did [...] get this article B? (Sunday 11 October 2015; 19:39)

Jackets (57,065) by Lara from Middle East Her latest outfits have all been with jackets. Personally I didn't find it was needed in all outfits (i.e. "The Intern" premiere). Maybe it's her shoulder that's dislocated again. Recurrence is a common complication. (Saturday 3 October 2015; 0:33)

Mariah at the intern premiere (56,850) by Lara from Middle East Anne hathaway's reaction was so cute. I already love her as an actress, now I love her even more. It's so good to see all these younger artists mentioning Mariah. Justin, Katy and now Anne. Add the GOW commercial, it's reintroducing Mariah to the new listeners. Everything is ready for a "comeback". P.S. Could someone post the link/video with Mariah commenting on Anne? (Wednesday 23 September 2015; 11:07)

Re: Collabs (56,806) (56,807) by Lara from Middle East The Weeknd would be a great collab for a midtempo song, and Sam Smith for a ballad, both of them have voices that would merge well with Mariah. I doubt Mariah would do a duet with Taylor, since she's apparently more on "team Katy" and all the "bad blood" between them. Anyway, I just need a good song. (Monday 21 September 2015; 21:04)

Re: Shade intended (56,668) (56,679) by Lara from Middle East Hahah that was so funny. Are there gonna be other ads? Maybe next time she can vainquish the ennemy with a piercing whistle? Lol. (Wednesday 16 September 2015; 10:31)

Re: Idea (56,068) (56,069) by Lara from Middle East You just named the people I think Mariah should include in her work instead of these rappers. Bruno Mars, The Weeknd, John legend, Jason Derulo have both the style and the voice that would merge well with her. (Saturday 15 August 2015; 18:57)

New collaboration (55,705) by Lara from Middle East Seems it's gonna be an Infinity remix. Well, I can't be sad since the original version didn't really hit our radios here (only this week I've heard it twice and I've only heard it once before, a month ago). Mariah has been known for making remixes that are better than the original recordings, and in Infinity's case, this should be easy, the song is missing something that I can't point.
