September 12, 200618 yr Author Well done Mariah! Can't believe TEOM is still winning awards :wub: I know. The album's over a year old so I can't see how. Still an award's an award. If we question it they may take it off her :lol:
September 18, 200618 yr Author I wonder how much longer this album is gonna keep winning awards! lol Perhaps 'Say Somethin" will win big at the Brits?
September 19, 200618 yr Author :rofl:! Has Mariah even won a Brit before? No. Her nomination last year was a rare achievement.
