I felt her career went downhill from Butterfly onwards apart from a few songs. She didn't re deem herself for me until the Mimi album.

I feel E=MC2 is an underated album as well. But they handled the single releases so poorly. No one cared after Touch my body.
I still can't believe Migrate wasn't released. What was her team thinking?

I think the video for The Roof is one of her best (and one of the best songs on the Butterfly album).

As for favorite albums it would definitely be a tie between Daydream and Butterfly. Though there isn't one I dislike they're all good.
Yeah the roof was a great video. I also really love the breakdown video.

My fav album is butterfly and my second fav is emotions, but as you said they are all good albums.

I thunk Mariah has been able to share more of her personality with her fans from the butterfly era onwards so I've enjoyed those eras more, regardless of the musical output.

That's one of my faves, yeah it's pretty corny in some parts but it captured the message of the song right.

I also really like the Touch My Body video as well . I loved the whole concept and the nerd trying to hit the high note on Mimi's name gets me every-time.

Shake It Off is also a personal favourite of mine - especially all the transitions. It flowed really well and I love the hair flip into the sunset at the end.
I'm probably in the minority but I really like the obssessed video. Mariah's facial expressions are priceless.

I can't get over the fact that Mariah dressed up as a man!

Mariah has a Global Mariah Christmas Event - Special Surprise! that she's going to announce on November 17.

Plus as some of you might have heard the first listen of When Christmas Comes featuring John Legend has leaked today.

I wonder what the surprise is?

Mariah Carey will receive The Noble Gift Humanitarian Award at the 2nd Annual Noble Gift Gala in London on December 10th 2011.

The event will be held at The Dorchester Hotel.

The Noble Gift Gala will be a tribute to the support and foster awareness for children & the empowerment of women globally. It will feature entertainment, a sumptuous dinner and an award show in recognition of the 2011 Noble Gift Humanitarian Award recipient.
Congrats to Mariah.

I wonder if this will get any press? as we know the media just like to focus on how much luggage she has or how big an entourage she has with her!

Nice to have her back in town though. Wish I could go

What do people think of BET honoring Mariah for the BET Honors Awards 2012?

Here's Kelly Rowland doing a tribute performance of "Fantasy" (scroll down halfway for the video link) : http://923now.radio.com/2012/02/14/b...-with-fantasy/

I liked Patti's performance of Hero, very emotional and touching. Especially when you consider Mariah's history/friendship with her and remember back to when Mariah tributed Patti in 1998. I didn't like Kelly's that much, the arrangement wasn't that good and it made it come across as karoake bordering on pantomine. Anyhow it was nice of them both to do the tribute.

I'm still waiting to see Mariah's acceptance speech and Nick and Roc presenting her with the award.

For those who have been missing MC: Mariah Carey | I'll Be There (Live at Gotham Hall, NYC 2012)

One of her performances from Thursday night which you can read a recap of here.

After the sudden passing of Whitney Houston (may she rest in peace) I'm so thankful that Mariah is still with us and that she sounds so great. I admit I got a little teary watching her performances.

Ya, she does look good, but I fear Mariah leans heavily on this way too much the last few years. A 40 minute set too? God..

Where my lambs at? MC definitely deserves appreciation for her performances of late.

She was fabulous at the Sydney concert. I won't post all the videos, just this one:

Can't Let Go / Love Takes Time medley

Can't wait for her new album

Triumphant was seriously the worst thing she has never released in her nearly 23 year career. I hope to hear news soon.
