About Libra Lamb from USA:

Pride (102,972) by Libra Lamb from USA I agree with you Brandon. It's as if she thinks the name Mariah Carey is good enough because her voice was amazing back in the day but she doesn't deliver the charisma nor the vocals on stage, or in the studio lately (Big Energy remix) that were once unmatched. She may be relying on "the voice" but sadly it's not the same as it was in the early to mid 90s. We all know the voice can change over time, and that's ok, but she's not maintained it like the precious instrument that it is. I'm only speculating here, I have no way of verifying my opinions. Regardless, I'm always rooting for her as a long time fan and lamb. I wish her well always and lots of success because I know that making music is her gift and her passion.

Pride (102,968) by Brandon from USA I actually agree with everything that you said. As a legend that has sold as many records as MC has, she should be a pro when it comes to live performances. Unfortunately she has always struggled when it comes to performing, which I think is mainly due to her lack of discipline to practice/rehearse for live shows and her loss of confidence in her voice. She often looks lost on stage or doesn't know how to gracefully move her body. There's actually choreographers who can teach singers how to move gracefully, how to emote, how to talk to your audience in between songs to keep them engaged (not just ramble a bunch of words) and even how to lip sync in a way that looks real (Celine). MC has access to use the best of the best in the business to help her be a better performer but most of her performances fall flat. I've seen her live in concert twice so I know what I speak. Where is the grown woman (not eternally 12), confident, sexy, commander of the stage who's been performing for over 30 years? I love MC and have been a lamb for over 30 years and want to always see her win but a lot of times she is her own worst enemy. I hate to see singers who have been performing only a fraction of the time MC has be able to run circles around her when it comes to performing live. There's no excuse.

MC's next era (102,960) by Libra Lamb from USA I don't think so. Not her style, besides great R&B is her niche and unfortunately for you, her best work. I'm down for some good 90s R&B sounds like we know she can deliver. But I agree with others that her voice needs to be in better shape.

MC's next era (102,955) by TJ from Norway Hard Rock, alternative punk, Pop, and every other genre, except RnB. I am so tired of that sound. (Monday 3 July 2023; 08:57)

Forbes richest women, no Mariah (102,848) by Libra Lamb from USA Let's be clear on some things. Your opinions about the Forbes list do not offend me. I don't care that she's not on the list. My only argument was that she was more popular in her prime than many others on that list. You put words in my mouth to further push your argument. I only said something because of the was you decided to express yourself mockingly using that and disguised it as trying to being funny. I only said something because someone has to call it out when they see it. It wasn't about me either, I'm a grown ass man and you don't know me therefore you can't hurt me. But you don't know how many young kids may be reading these comments and made to feel bad about their sexuality for being different. You can backtrack all you want but maybe choose your mocking words more carefully or you will be called out every time. That's all. Everyone can go back and read all these comments and take from them what they choose. Go ahead I know you must have the last and final word.

Forbes richest women, no Mariah (102,845) by Bill from the UK I'm amazed my comments about a Forbes list caused so much offence to you. I think you're taking my messages personally which isn't the intention, and I certainly never mocked anybody's sexuality, nor would I ever. (Wednesday 7 June 2023; 10:02)

Mariah in LA for Pride performance (102,842) by Libra Lamb from USA Happy Pride Month. Is anyone going this Saturday to see MC perform in LA this weekend? If you do, please come back and tell us how it went. Have fun and stay safe. (Wednesday 7 June 2023; 06:58)

Forbes richest women, no Mariah (102,841) by Libra Lamb from USA I never used the word tyrant. Don't you put words in my mouth too just to try and insult me. If you can't read the mocking and condescending way he expressed himself that's on you. Call me delusional all you want but at least read the posts if you're going to chime in and defend or condone that behavior. I get that we are all different and we may disagree at times but those comments only speak to your character. I'm a gay man in my early 40s and I'm not some kid that expresses themselves like that, not that there's anything wrong with that. Go on and justify ignorance some more, it's fully expected at this point. We can agree to disagree. I'm moving on and I'm glad to see a lot of you also step in and say something productive and stand up against it too. I may be wrong at times or have an unpopular opinion but I will never not stand up for what I believe is the right thing. Eric, I really do appreciate everything you do to keep this board going and I apologize if I caused any grief directly or indirectly. Always remember sometimes we have to choose our battles and there's nothing wrong with ignoring people that won't ever consider the slightest possibility that they may be incorrect with their "facts". (Wednesday 7 June 2023; 06:43) this is a reply to message 102,832

Forbes richest women, no Mariah (102,832) by Edward from USA You seem to be a lil bit obtuse. "Yass Queen" doesn't refer to sexuality. It refers to what delusional fans like yourself blindly call Mariah when she has done a great or horrible job. And Eric, my dear, has always been fair to all of us. You don't get to have a board like this for 25 years by being a tyrant. (Tuesday 6 June 2023; 14:30)

Forbes richest women, no Mariah (102,830) by Libra Lamb from USA It was sarcasm. The only things you guys proved was that you can put words in people's mouths and mock their sexual preferences and claim victory. It's very one sided and Eric knows because my posts calling you out on it don't get published. Let's see if this one makes it. I seriously doubt it.

Forbes richest women, no Mariah (102,829) by Bill from the UK You're welcome. Facts always triumph over opinions. (Tuesday 6 June 2023; 12:35)

Forbes richest women, no Mariah (102,825) by Libra Lamb from USA Thank you Bill and Eric for proving my point today. Have a blessed day. (Tuesday 6 June 2023; 02:41) this is a reply to message 102,822

Forbes richest women, no Mariah (102,822) by Bill from the UK I mean I was literally the only person that commented on the original article so gathered it was directed at me. But yeh, sorry, as great as Mariah was, she's nowhere near as rich and popular as the ladies in the Forbes article. This is why she isn't on the list lol. Keep slaying. (Monday 5 June 2023; 16:31)

Forbes richest women, no Mariah (102,820) by Libra Lamb from USA I was not talking about you specifically but thanks for jumping in and writing my follow up post. As long as it fits your narrative, I guess. We were talking about careers in their peak, not individual songs that you chose yourself as examples. We were not talking about current status of their career either. What does fit you is that you always have to be right about everything and assuming of others. If I wanted to say it was you I would have said so, if the shoe fits please wear it. I'm unbothered and thanks for that silly post. It was funny. Yaaas queen. Werk. Lmao. (Monday 5 June 2023; 13:39) this is a reply to message 102,818

Forbes richest women, no Mariah (102,818) by Bill from the UK I'm not sure if you're referring to my post, but how was I negative and mad lol? All I said was that those artists on the Forbes list are massive and it is probably right. Whitney isn't on the list, and she's about the same level of popularity as Mariah in the world, so it makes sense. And yes Mariah has had a million number ones, but that can't always be the trump card you lay to try to win an argument. More people have heard of and know songs like Jolene and Papa Don't Preach over Thank God I Found You and I Don't Wanna Cry. As I said, Mariah has had a fantastic career, no one would ever doubt that, but you have to be more measured and realistic when analysing and reflecting on her career against her peers, especially in these later years where she is finding it increasingly difficult to hold on to her "greatest voice of a generation" tag. I'll write your next post for you: she has nothing to prove, if you don't like her why do you hang around here, get a life, yaas queen, slay. (Monday 5 June 2023; 08:19)

Forbes richest women, no Mariah (102,817) by Libra Lamb from USA I think only handful of artists have been more popular than Mariah at their respective prime. There's people here that strongly believe that their opinions are the only ones that matter. They have to be right about everything and will go to far lengths to defend their opinions, even when they are wrong and downright offensive. It's gotten really boring to see their posts get published but when you go against it, your post doesn't see the light of day. I get that the webmaster has the right to pick and choose, I'm just saying it's unfair and again, very boring. Yawn. I try not to argue with them simply because you can never win an argument against those. It's better to log off and go to do something positive and productive and let these "lambs" sit with their phones and attack Mariah and each other. Call me delusional or whatever and I don't care, your words mean nothing to me. Stay negative and stay mad. (Sunday 4 June 2023; 23:53) this is a reply to message 102,815

Forbes richest women, no Mariah (102,815) by Lady B from USA "all of those artists... way more popular than (Mariah) at her peak" No one on that list had more #1 hits than Mariah did over her top 5 year period and definitely not overall so that's an odd statement, but we're all entitled to our opinions, no matter how flawed they are. (Sunday 4 June 2023; 19:13)

Circles remix (102,804) by Libra Lamb from USA I like the music but I don't like what they did to the vocals. Remixes are a hit or miss. I'd rather the original track vocals be used in these remixes. Thanks for sharing it. (Friday 2 June 2023; 03:23) this is a reply to message 102,802

Circles remix (102,802) by Jamie from UK Check it out it's great. Good summer vibes. (Thursday 1 June 2023; 18:46)

American Idol judges (102,801) by Libra Lamb from USA It still doesn't change all your negativity. You must be the life of the party. (Thursday 1 June 2023; 18:43) this is a reply to message 102,800

American Idol judges (102,800) by Edward from USA Some people seem to be living in an alternate universe. (Thursday 1 June 2023; 17:05)

American Idol judges (102,799) by Libra Lamb from USA Some people always got to find the negative in a positive post. (Thursday 1 June 2023; 16:04) this is a reply to message 102,798

American Idol judges (102,798) by Edward from USA Mariah was the most qualified but she wasn't good at it. She was rather boring and couldn't articulate her thoughts easily. Everybody was always waiting for those enlightening critique moments, but they never came. Wait, there was an enlightening moment when she became the first judge ever to get late to the show set, the other judges had already started taping without her, and when she showed up, she said: "If you want a diva, you have to pay the price." Many times she went on her usual diva tangents and rather than being a judge, she was more worried about being nice. As much as I hate to say it, Nicki was better at it. Some people are or have a well of knowledge, they could be great at using it, but few have the skill to teach it. Mariah is great as a mentor, she's shown it on some shows, but she should stay away from judging on singing competitions. The good things is that she knows it. (Thursday 1 June 2023; 14:13)

American Idol judges (102,796) by Libra Lamb from USA I can't believe I'm bringing this up here and now after all these years but it's got to be said. And I'm not going to apologize for it. Mariah Carey was the most qualified to be a judge on American Idol than anyone else. Period. I'm not discounting anyone else's talents at all. I liked most of them, except the one we "don't know " and that other one that dared to attack MC. The nerve. I really wish Mariah had stayed on the show longer than one season because I enjoyed her mentoring the contestants. She actually knows a lot about the music industry and could have helped so many others. It's a shame what happened during her season. I hope we can one day get another show where she helps nurture and mentors young talent but without all the drama. She's just such a legend and a living Icon. We need to appreciate her because tomorrow is not promised. Remember, she owes no one anything. (Thursday 1 June 2023; 03:40)

Prelude to my next topic (102,744) by Libra Lamb from USA Rainbow is a great album, one of the most underrated and under appreciated in Mimi's catalogue. She had so much fun promoting it, with Bianca, and I'm sure recording it. Heartbreaker was the perfect song to kick off the singles and the music videos were genius. Some fillers but eventually those songs grew on me. Lots of singles and remixes to keep us busy and talking. No skips for me. The album and singles art was on point. We need another Rainbow album. (Saturday 20 May 2023; 17:35) this is a reply to message 102,743

Prelude to my next topic (102,743) by Robert-Anthony from United States I have comprised some overall stats of Rainbow and Daydream in all areas and I have discovered some impressive stats. What I have discovered about Rainbow compared Daydream will get everybody talking and shine new light on MC as a brilliant artist. Rainbow was a huge success story for MC despite how Tommy sabotage its success. MC had total creative control during the recording and promotion of Rainbow while Tommy still had his puppet strings on MC during Daydream. Daydream was an enormous success, but MC lost such much control during the album promotion and looked defeated during her Grammys lost when she gave Columbia the best album of her career at the time. I will leave it there. I don't want share too much more of what I discovered about Rainbow being a huge triumph for MC. I don't think Rainbow has ever been called MC's liberation album But that is exactly what it was before Mimi was emancipated. Stay tuned for new post Saturday evening. Let me know your thoughts today. Agree or disagree? (Thursday 18 May 2023; 17:39)

Favorite 90s singles cover (102,738) by Libra Lamb from USA My favorite ones are some of the David LaChapelle photo shoots which included Rainbow and Glitter albums and single covers. Also I think she looks beautiful in all of them but I Still Believe is one of my favorites too. (Tuesday 16 May 2023; 15:00) this is a reply to message 102,719

Favorite 90s singles cover (102,719) by Robert-Anthony from United States My favorite 90s singles cover is Never Forget You/Without You. I love this cover because of the beige/almond background and MC's innocent pose. What is your favorite 90s singles cover? (Saturday 13 May 2023; 14:15)

Boyz II Men performance (102,711) by Libra Lamb from USA I hear she does car commercials. In Japan. One time she met John Stamos on a plane. And he told her she was pretty. (Thursday 11 May 2023; 16:58) this is a reply to message 102,705

Boyz II Men performance (102,705) by Edward from USA I heard he had broken up with her and moved to Indiana. (Wednesday 10 May 2023; 16:46)

What is your initial fan story? (102,632) by Libra Lamb from USA When I first heard Fantasy, and the song was everywhere at that time, I knew that there was something special about Mariah. I'd heard some of her other songs before but I was too young or distracted to appreciate them and notice her. I bought her back catalogue and fell in love even more with her, the lyrics and her unique voice. Eventually I started collecting singles and albums to obtain every possible version of her songs. Teenage years were the toughest for me so I would put on my earphones and fall asleep listening to her albums every night and I would be instantly transported to my happy place. I remember the introspective songs the most, as a gay man I always felt like an outsider myself and I felt comfort in knowing that it would all be okay someday because Mariah told me so. Thank you Mariah for the music. We will always have the amazing unparalleled catalogue that we have affectionately dubbed the soundtrack to our lives.

What is your initial fan story? (102,618) by Robert-Anthony from United States What fascinated you about MC at any era that compelled you to become a lifetime fan? For me, it was Love Takes Time. Hearing this gem constantly on the radio made me know I was going to be a fan for life. (Monday 24 April 2023; 01:02)

Legacy (102,613) by Libra Lamb from USA Also, the only artist so far, that I know of, that is now expected to have a number 1 song annually with AIWFCIY. She's unparalleled as an icon and would have more number 1s if the single choices were handled differently and no one sabotaged her for years. Call me delusional or whatever but I also think she has more hits left in her and possibly another new number 1. I will always support her and buy her records. Having said that, it would be nice if her projects and releases were at least consistent. I have some cash burning a hole in my pocket and she doesn't want it? Have a great day guys. (Saturday 22 April 2023; 20:31) this is a reply to message 102,611

Legacy (102,611) by Lady B from USA Her legacy will be 19 (and counting?) #1 hits, more than any solo artist in history, one behind The Beatles. Her legacy will be her induction into the R&R Hall of Fame. Her legacy will be that she wrote or co-wrote 18 of those 19 #1 hits. Her legacy will be scoring #1 hits in 4 decades, which has never been done before. That's her legacy, of which individual songs are part of but certainly not overshadowing the whole. No one will ever tell her tale as an artist without noting that she has more #1 hits than any solo artist in history. (Saturday 22 April 2023; 19:00)

No new album in 2023 (102,593) by Libra Lamb from USA Just perfect. Now she's alienating the last few people who follow her faithfully that are hoping for a solid project or album. I may not move on, but I'm losing my excitement for MC. (Thursday 20 April 2023; 06:04) this is a reply to message 102,589

No new album in 2023 (102,589) by T from USA It's been all but confirmed by some Mariah insiders on Twitter that she does not have the rumored projects coming this year that everyone thought. Not even the Butterfly Lounge. That leaves us waiting until next year, however seeing how 2024 is the 30th Anniversary of "Merry Christmas" I'm sure that will be the priority next year. (Thursday 20 April 2023; 00:02)

Observation (102,454) by Libra Lamb from USA Please tell me what the point was Mr. All Knowing? See, my point was that my grandmother's birthday celebration was my priority that day, not MC or her fans. I'm old enough to know that there are more important things in life than pleasing complete strangers, like MC, her fans, and her now disqualified non fans. That's why I don't post often, everything you say here can and will be used against you by someone who knows nothing about you for some seriously randomness reasons. It's good enough for me that I send positive thoughts to MC all the time, including on her birthday, even if they are not all typed for you guys to read and pick apart. To me that counts more than typing up words for complete strangers to validate. But you know what? We love everybody. Again, it's not that deep. Take it easy.

Observation (102,450) by Steven Berning from USA You missed the point. And, no, your grandmother's 95th birthday is not the point. (Monday 3 April 2023; 08:49)

Observation (102,438) by Libra Lamb from USA Although I do not come here to bash or pick MC apart, I don't need anyone telling me if I classify as a fan or not. I simply did not wish her a "Happy Anniversary " because I was too busy celebrating my own grandmother's 95th birthday. Also, this is a fan board, not a direct link to her, it's not guaranteed that she would even see it here. I have, however, wished her well and sent lovely direct messages to her via social media, and guess what? No response. But I don't care, I am sure she's too busy to acknowledge everyone just like I was busy on her birthday. It's not that deep. Take it easy. (Sunday 2 April 2023; 05:02) this is a reply to message 102,419

Observation (102,419) by Lady B from USA Many people on this board who post negative things about Mariah like to hid behind they "care" and are "fans", but are being "honest" and sometimes that means tough love. I'm on record as saying I think that's largely malarky, and they snidely deride me when I say that, But for a "fan board" very few folks wished her Happy Anniversary, and none of the regular critics. Indeed, plenty of posts before and after, but very few on the day of. Compare that to other fan boards of other artists, which have a higher percentage of posters who are actual, well fans. (Wednesday 29 March 2023; 16:09)

Super Bowl (102,234) by Libra Lamb from USA I'm not saying Mimi can't shine at a Superbowl performance, but I will say don't ever count her out. When they think that she can't do something, she sets out to prove them wrong. The Emancipation of Mimi, for example. She just needs to focus, her catalogue speaks for itself. Now, where the hell is new album and The Rarities 2? (Friday 17 February 2023; 18:10) this is a reply to message 102,232

Super Bowl (102,232) by Todd from Sydney, Australia I am not sure Mariah would be all that interested in doing a Superbowl half time show - the workload required would be massive. I think it would be awesome if they did a "Divas Live" type setup with a bunch of 'divas' sharing the stage - Mariah, Ariana, Madonna, Celine, Beyonce, Gaga, Whitney on the screen - I'd tune in. (Friday 17 February 2023; 04:07)

It's A Wrap EP (102,200) by Libra Lamb from USA I'm glad to see Mariah getting a lot of attention for a song that is over a decade old, besides AIWFCIY. Whoever said Mariah is not relevant until Christmas is delusional. The thing is, her discography has so many gems like this one and the children don't even know it yet, but they are slowly discovering her music. She's been slept on by the general public since TEOM and I think people are starting to crave real music again because the radio and top 40 is mostly hot garbage. She is and will always be the queen. All hail Mariah. (Friday 10 February 2023; 15:56) this is a reply to message 102,196

It's A Wrap EP (102,196) by Robert-Anthony from United States This is great news. She is listening [to] us on Twitter. Now if we can get The Remixes on vinyl this summer with some bonus remixes from MIAM. (Friday 10 February 2023; 02:18)

2010s the decade of scrutiny (102,178) by Libra Lamb from USA I have to agree with this post, however, for me personally I love every MC album from 1990 to present, but if I had to name one that I play the least is Chanteuse. It was good, but it has been my least favorite since its release and I hardly ever revisit it. Great songs but it feels like something signature Mariah was missing. Maybe one day it will grow on me. Until new music is released, we have an entire discography to revisit that most artists could only dream of. MC is a musical genius and no one will ever take that away from her, like the light that shines bright inside of her. Now come on Mimi and put out a new album already. (Saturday 4 February 2023; 20:09) this is a reply to message 102,176

2010s the decade of scrutiny (102,176) by "MariahHater" from Hell It made me realize that this decade has been very harsh for Mimi. I can't help but be sad about every year that she has to go through careerwise but the very least she has her twins. Even the music was on point, maybe we are not used to her being a hitmaker but try to give all her 2010s releases a spin and you will be surprised that I missed and the general public missed out a lot. For me if I was Mariah, I would also put my career on the backseat and focus on my core family. As she was a product of a broken and dysfunctional family, she still put the welfare of the children over hers and I must say that this is means more than to keep her chart records, additional number ones and career milestones because at the end of the day, they are just skins that we shed and not the core of who we are as a human being. That being said, I hope you guys give love to her 2010s releases as they are something and if released today can still stand on their own. That is the magic of Mariah Carey. I don't want to make this more longer but on my next posts, I will tackle how people lambasted Triumphant when it's a fire song if released this 20s. (Saturday 4 February 2023; 04:47)
