A No No (85,301) by Myles from CT, USA Like when I first hear the clip I was like meh now with that damn snipped I cannot get it out of my head. I cannot wait to hear the full song. (Friday 26 October 2018; 03:48)

The Voice (85,300) by B from USA Mariah will be mentoring contestants from each team. At least that's the impression I got after watching an interview with Kelly Clarkson. Mariah best moments on Idol were with Kelly. Loving the clip The Voice shared of Mariah interacting with the coaches and contestants. Mariah is engaging, funny, and most importantly likeable. NBC is promoting the hell out of Mariah joining the series. (Friday 26 October 2018; 02:22)

Re: Brat bankruptcy (85,297) (85,299) by RibbonB from USA Exactly. She was trying to sound confident clapping back to Wendy, but over spoke, IMO. But hey she can be like your president and whittle her amount owed to pennies on the dollar in bankruptcy court. The victim deserves a lot, but the judgement was excessive, especially to think anyone but Brat should pay it. (Friday 26 October 2018; 01:47)

Re: With You radio airplay and "The Voice" appearance (85,294) (85,298) by B from USA I love when pays homage to Marilyn. However, during Stella's reign of terror instead of paying homages to Marilyn, Mariah seemed like she was parodying her. The video for With You is an homage to Marilyn's iconic Life magazine cover story in which she was photographed doing normal daily activities. (Friday 26 October 2018; 00:57)

Re: Brat bankruptcy (85,293) (85,297) by Licia from USA I can see Mariah or even JD helping her with a couple thousand, but millions I can't see it. Whether they have the money or not Brat shouldn't even want them to help considering the dumb mistake she made. Mariah helping someone to fight cancer is way different than helping someone pay off a judgement for hitting someone else in the head with a bottle. I won't even touch on the stuff about Allison too much. Who really knows how much Mariah helped her sister before she got tired of footing the bill. From my own experience you can only help a person in that situation so much. You get tired of helping when they aren't trying to do better. (Thursday 25 October 2018; 23:20)

Re: Brat bankruptcy (85,292) (85,296) by Licia from USA Lmao. I hate you so much for this picture Bill. (Thursday 25 October 2018; 23:06)

The Voice coaches (85,295) by Terna from Nigeria I'm sitting here watching the promo clips of Mariah Carey on The Voice and I'm noticing the judges are fangirling over Mariah. Guys this is Blake Shelton, Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Hudson and Adam Levine all big stars in their own right, looking at her like she's the Holy Grail of the music industry and in actual sense she is. Lol. Sometimes I feel like us Lambs are too familiar with Mariah Carey. Y'all need to put some respect on her name, think of it for a split second. She debuted in 1990 and is still relevant today. (Thursday 25 October 2018; 22:42)

Re: With You radio airplay and "The Voice" appearance (85,289) (85,294) by Edward from USA At some point Mariah believed her own hype and that caused a huge disconnect between her and the general public. The general public gave her all those number ones, not only the fans. There was also a huge disconnect between this diva persona and the lyric content of her songs. Somewhere along the way she lost her humble demeanor, her somewhat innocent attitude most people loved. Current damage control has done wonders for her, but at this point most people don't care. I hope she keeps listening to those who have given her the best public perception she's had in years. I'm so glad she seems to have given up on that Marilyn Monroe impersonation that did her more bad than good. (Thursday 25 October 2018; 21:59)

Re: Brat bankruptcy (85,288) (85,293) by B from USA After the hell Allison put her through I do not blame Mariah for cutting her off. (Thursday 25 October 2018; 21:53)

Re: Brat bankruptcy (85,291) (85,292) by Bill from the UK Haha. It took me longer than you can possibly imagine to make it lol. (Thursday 25 October 2018; 21:06)

Re: Brat bankruptcy (85,288) (85,291) by MusicfanJ from Germany Bill I can't deal with your new avatar. Lol. A true avatar. It's hilarious. (Thursday 25 October 2018; 20:50)

Re: MC continued (85,282) (85,290) by B from USA I know a lot of people who haven't heard a Mariah song since Obsessed. If they heard #Beautiful they assumed it was a Miguel song featuring Mariah Carey. We complain about the poor performances of YM(E), Infinity, I Don't but each single charted on the Hot 100 and did well on the R&B charts. We also complain about GTFO, which wasn't an official single, not charting on the Hot 100 but it wasn't expected to. The fact that it managed to debut on the R&B & Hip-hop Digital Sales chart is impressive. With You is doing well. It reached #23 on the Adult Contemporary chart, #22 on the Adult R&B Songs chart, and #22 on the Hot R&B Songs chart. Far from the failure some would lead you to believe it is.

With You radio airplay and "The Voice" appearance (85,289) by Leito from USA "With You" has been slowly moving up the US radio airplay. A/C #15, Urban A/C #16 and now appears on Hot A/C at #47 Mariah always releases great albums with great songs. I believe the public's perception of Mariah is what has been hurting her sales. Just look at the comment section of The Voice's FB page. The majority are hateful comments. They all pretty much say the same "She's stuck-up" or "she acts like she's above everybody" or "I used to like her when she was humble". I really hope this upcoming appearance on The Voice will help clean up the image. From the clips I've seen, she appears to be more down-to-earth, and no diva-ish behavior. (Thursday 25 October 2018; 19:38)

Re: Brat bankruptcy (85,285) (85,288) by Bill from the UK It would be quite something if Mariah paid for Da Brat’s debt whilst at the same time refusing to even acknowledge her dying sister’s pleas for help. Hashtag just saying. (Thursday 25 October 2018; 19:29)

Vogue (85,287) by B from USA Maeiah shared a picture from her profile in Vogue Magazine in 1994. I've always loved those images. I would love to see Mariah on the cover of Vogue. (Thursday 25 October 2018; 18:12)

Legacy HBF members tickets (85,286) by Atwood from NY Am I the only one who noticed I couldn't purchase any close seats what so ever for the "Caution" tour? Nothing good popped up and everything was far away. I tried 1, 2, 3, 4 and all filters and I couldn't get any decent seats. I also was waiting 10 minutes before 10 when they went on sale. Just didn't seem right to me. (Thursday 25 October 2018; 16:45)

Re: Brat bankruptcy (85,272) (85,285) by RibbonB from USA Of course there is help and then there is ridiculous. Here is where Brat dragged her friends into her mess clapping back at Wendy Williams shade. JD doesn't have it and who knows if MC does or if either would just peel off such a humongous sum to pay for Brat's dumb mistake. But worse than that is potentially pulling their personal information into legal discovery because Brat exaggerated in TV, so she didn't seem so derelict. (Thursday 25 October 2018; 16:09)

Re: Limited edition of Caution (85,279) (85,284) by B from USA I love both covers however I prefer the original. I don't understand the hate the standard edition cover has received especially claims that she looks like a cartoon character. (Thursday 25 October 2018; 16:07)

#Beautiful Remix ft. Miguel & Jeezy (85,283) by B from USA Disappointed. Amazon won't let me download the copy of the #Beautiful remix that I purchased in 2013 and I've only downloaded it once before. Has anyone else ever experienced this issue when dealing with Amazon? (Thursday 25 October 2018; 16:04)

MC continued (85,282) by Nikki from usa I hadn't really noticed until the past couple of years how pop radio hasn't really played Beyonce since 2014. Beyonce still does well in R&B and hip hop radio, but she hasn't had a major hit since Drunk in Love. However, she is still able to pull out top 10 hits on Billboard from sales, streams, and video views. This radio neglect is surprising because Beyonce is only in her late 30's, but has been "over" at pop radio for the past 5 years. This just makes it more amazing that Mariah achieved her last #1 when she was 38 and was still getting pop radio play into her early 40's. This new roll out for this era is definitely thanks to Roc Nation. However, Mariah's fan base was centered on an era of being seen and heard. Specifically, in Mariah's case, it's important for her to be on several TV shows for interviews, live singing, and magazines. Her biggest supporters are from a physical purchase era and not the internet variety. Part of her issue is that she's been doing everything entirely through the internet these past few years and she's not a newbie internet artist. I have friends who love Mariah and weren't aware she's done anything since her last Christmas album. (Thursday 25 October 2018; 15:52)

Re: Caution cover reminiscent of Britney's In The Zone (85,276) (85,281) by B from USA I love In The Zone but Blackout is Britney's best album. (Thursday 25 October 2018; 15:26)

Re: Mariah slaying those Voice promos (85,277) (85,280) by B from USA Mariah will most likely make televised appearances on several morning and late night shows the week the week Caution is released. Doing so before is pointless. (Thursday 25 October 2018; 15:25)

Re: Limited edition of Caution (85,268) (85,279) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Are you really going to rant about a cover now? Although I myself prefer the cover with the neon M and think it's a better, the other cover isn't bad and moreover she looks great. The fact that it is blue and not the usual "standard color" or black and white has you shook now? She has updated her music style to fit the current trend so maybe she is going for different visuals? This is along the lines of The Weeknd's "Starboy" cover. I understand having preferences, but to basically call the decision "insane" or "weed induced" (albeit jokingly) is being a little too dramatic. Let's look at the bigger picture, Mariah finally has a project that is getting the roll out and attention that she deserves and she is giving out surprises in the form of new tracks, "The Voice" role and so on almost weekly. Her public image has been the best that it has been in years, she is finally looking and acting like the iconic legend that she is (and not some trashy washed up pop star that Stella turned her into) and she is back to her classy sophisticated self. Her music videos have gone from the uncomfortable "look at me touch myself" to a more classy sexy look with artistic visuals. Let's focus on the positives for now. Just get the deluxe version and your problem is solved. (Thursday 25 October 2018; 14:52)

Re: Nick Cannon says Mimi had multiple miscarriages (85,265) (85,278) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines That also explains why many of Mariah's performances around that period (see X Factor UK, AMAs, Stand Up To Cancer, etc.) had her looking sad or pained or uncomfortable. She was recovering from physical and emotional pain. You could see it in her eyes. She was in the best shape of her life and riding from the success of her 18th #1, but her personal life was falling apart. The more you watch performances from that year up until 2010, the more you'll notice it. (Thursday 25 October 2018; 12:50)

Mariah slaying those Voice promos (85,277) by Sheila from United States Trust Roc-nation is marketing her. This is full blown promo. But why no Fallon? Ellen? Wendy? Today Show performances of With You? (Thursday 25 October 2018; 11:39)
