So this corset thing... (84,862) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines I'm sure Mariah has worn corsets before (and if she's worn them in the past, it wasn't really as noticeable as it is now) but when did she really start wearing them pretty much every time? All that constricting cannot be good. It already affects her breath control, thus affecting her singing. Constant use can't be good in the long run. Sure, it helps her achieve that hourglass figure, but she's fitter these days so she already has that going on naturally. (Sunday 14 October 2018; 16:27)

Her SG venue (84,861) by 90sMariah from SG When I heard that she will be at the Star Vista theater for her concert, my BF and I thought: "Oof." First of all, the theater isn't even in the city area, or where where artists of her caliber should be performing at. Her last concert in Singapore, she was at the Singapore stadium - stadium, guys, stadium. Although she only used a third of it, but still, it's a venue worth her stature. Last I checked, her November concert still hasn't fully sold out yet (only the VIP has sold out) and the rest are still available. I guess the demand for her is really low this time so the current venue would suffice. BF and I will not be watching her this time since we've already seen her in 2010 and 2015. Best of luck to her.

Re: Angry Andrew (84,850) (84,860) by Taylor from USA I don't post here often, partly because of people like Andrew, and the regular negative crew. Andrew, you truly seem like a vile human being. He airs personal information about another member just because the other member has displeased him. He is disgusting on every level. I suspect a number of personality disorders, which would be befitting of someone with a decent vocabulary, who often uses his vocabulary to manipulate others. He can play the role of contrarian, which he will surely do in response, but his nature is pretty clear to everyone. He is a damaged creature. I stopped coming here in favor of places like UK mix and ATRL who reference this place as an ancient harbor of hate. So Andrew get some therapy. Or maybe administer it to yourself, as I'm sure you think you are qualified. (Sunday 14 October 2018; 03:03)

Re: Missing crowd of fans in Japan (84,849) (84,859) by Bobby A from United States Now that is funny as heck. I can't stop laughing. (Sunday 14 October 2018; 01:30)

Re: New Mariah Carey song co-written by Fresco Kane (84,855) (84,858) by Bobby A from United States In 1990 - if we got the TEOM Mariah (free of Tommy) instead of the VOL Mariah would we be so hard on her for everything she does right now? I just think in 1990 Mariah was groomed to be sweet Mariah who didn't put curse words in her songs and drink Remy in the studio with rappers. Tommy wasn't going to have any of that foolishness. Since she has been set free, she is going to make up for all that lost time she couldn't do what she wanted to in the 90s. This is who Mariah is and we can talk about how this behavior makes her look bad all day; she is not going to change. She is eternally 12. Lol. (Sunday 14 October 2018; 01:25)

Re: New Mariah Carey song co-written by Fresco Kane (84,856) (84,857) by RibbonB from USA Lol yeah, to hear some people tell it, you are right. Insert eyeroll and chuckle here. Mariah is trolling in the drinking era, I do believe. (Sunday 14 October 2018; 01:01)

Re: New Mariah Carey song co-written by Fresco Kane (84,855) (84,856) by Licia from USA No Ribbon the rappers make her drink and name drop in her songs. He held her bottle of wine hostage until she agreed to talk about Remy in her song. I'm sure pure and honorable Walter didn't partake in such things. (Sunday 14 October 2018; 00:42)

Re: New Mariah Carey song co-written by Fresco Kane (84,854) (84,855) by RibbonB from USA The Caymus and what not. I wonder if old Wally indulged? The drinking mentions are old, but she's been consistent with that. Her career and creative process is nothing like our nine to fives. She definitely could write great songs without name checking liquor or anything for that matter. That seems to be where she is at though. (Sunday 14 October 2018; 00:24)

Re: New Mariah Carey song co-written by Fresco Kane (84,845) (84,854) by Licia from USA I like how they skipped over the part in the article where she brought her own wine. Those darn rappers are bad influences bringing in that liquor, but her wine is ok to have during the process. (Saturday 13 October 2018; 23:58)

AMA performance (84,853) by TJ from Norway I like that show. (Saturday 13 October 2018; 23:29)

Re: With You (84,851) (84,852) by Bill from the UK With You is definitely a grower that's for sure, but if it's taken us as fans a couple of weeks and multiple listens to get into it, I do worry about how successful the song will be outside her fan base. The video should help, it's actually her best since Touch My Body, and I hope she does some more TV spots and not sit there thinking that one lipped performance at the AMAs is enough promo, because it isn't. (Saturday 13 October 2018; 22:49)

With You (84,851) by anonymous from UK I genuinely can't get this song out of my head. When I first heard it, I thought it was beautiful and I really loved it, but I felt it almost seemed like an extended interlude from one of her albums. Upon further listens, however, it just gets better and better, and it really does seem timeless, sitting just outside of an era in a place of its own. I find myself singing the verses under my breath when out and about, and when I listen to it, I just love it more and more. It might not be the chart topping wonder some hoped for, but it's a Mariah Carey song in the truest way, and I'm so happy with this direction she's taking, as I also love GTFO, which also sticks in my head.

Re: Angry Andrew (84,840) (84,850) by anonymous from UK And here we are with your favourite term - emotionally unstable. Which, I take it, you use to refer to anyone with emotion other than venom and criticism. No, I'm not going to "get my sass on" with you, Andrew. Your last post clearly demonstrated how mean spirited and unkind you are. I actually thank you for your attempt to publicly humiliate me this way, as it shows me that you have to be careful who you talk to and what you say, and also as an opportunity to have certain aspects of my life posted in a very unflattering light (and not entirely correct, I'll just add), and for me to choose to not allow you to affect me. A nice person? If that last message shows anything, no, you're really not. And I stand by everything I said in my original post, which is actually supported by your follow up attack on me. Have a nice weekend. (Saturday 13 October 2018; 22:20)

Re: Missing crowd of fans in Japan (84,847) (84,849) by enwar00 from usa I'm sure she's crying about it right now as we speak. Poor Mimi. (Saturday 13 October 2018; 22:15)

Re: New album (84,838) (84,848) by Bobby A from United States It's interesting that MC's last show in Asia is November 9th. The following week is November 16th. Maybe be we will be surprised before Thanksgiving with a new album. Was E=MC2 the last album where a release date was set and the album dropped exactly on that date? Every album since then has been filled with push backs, delayed release dates and flop singles, And now with MC15 we just sit and wait for a public announcement to happen when she feels the time is right. I hope her team has a promotional plan that will put MOIA and MIAM to shame. I don't think her legacy can stand another flop album. Three years of songwriting and recording in the studio should not produce a flop album. Look at what happened to Usher's last album Hard II Love. It flopped big time and Usher just released Friday the worst album of his career called A for Atlanta with Zaytoven. (Saturday 13 October 2018; 21:49)

Missing crowd of fans in Japan (84,847) by 90sMariah from SG I noticed that she no longer had huge crowd of fans waiting for her when she arrived in Japan. She used to be big in Japan, they go crazy for her over there, but the videos and pics I've seen of her, the once big group of fans that followed her everywhere are now gone. That must hurt. (Saturday 13 October 2018; 21:25)

With You challenge (84,846) by RibbonB from USA Mimi needs a good, fun, viral moment. It can definitely help streaming and With You needs it based on the Vevo numbers. Monica saw a big bump off her old hit So Gon. Drake had the KiKi challenge not that he needed it. But those challenges can be funny, creative and cute. One idea could be put yourself in the vintage car with Mimi driving. The possibilities are endless. (Saturday 13 October 2018; 20:10)

Re: New Mariah Carey song co-written by Fresco Kane (84,820) (84,845) by RibbonB from USA That was Remy not "Henny" though. Not so cute when the songwriting veil is lifted? Although I'm sure the songwriters' bodies weren't blending. (Saturday 13 October 2018; 20:03)

Re: Mariah: queen of the redo (84,818) (84,844) by jaker20 from US Because she is insecure. Her art is a reflection of her. She tries to cover up what in her mind are imperfections. It's the same as her stage performance. She stands in the corner because she wants to be perceived as perfect. She lip because she wants her voice to be perceived as flawless. The truth is no one cares about this perfection if she puts on a show. I can handle flawed voice, even partial lipping if it means her putting an effort on the show, walking, connecting with fans, a production that seem like she actually joined choreography, anything. Same with her music. She spends so much time engineering her sound it ends up blah and mechanical, soulless, by-the-numbers. With You is classic Mariah, the structure is the same as 90% of her songs, the lyrics is about 90% of what she already sang. At her age, if she really has nothing to prove then be real and vulnerable. People like that. What happened to her 10 years of motherhood, her travels and experiences, the people she met, the downside of fame and fortune, etc? Does she has nothing new to say? What did she learn in 30 years other than another trials of teenage love? All these Mariah-legend is facade she's riding. I feel her art and creativity ended in Butterfly and TEOM was a fluke. Take Motolla out of the equation and there's really not much left. (Saturday 13 October 2018; 18:24)

Re: Mariah: queen of the redo (84,814) (84,842) by Special K from USA I see no lies. (Saturday 13 October 2018; 17:07)

Re: Mariah: queen of the redo (84,808) (84,841) by Andrew from UK Randster, I've seen Whitney live and whilst she was obviously vocally a powerhouse I found her singing as obnoxious as her interviews sometimes (on which she had two emotions: stare and talk quietly like she was on a comedown and going to kill someone or feign complete over the top faux happiness like she'd just come up). Not everything had to be a competition or a display of volume. I Will Always Love You moves from easy listening to something quite stressful to hear, for example. But the volume she projected over Mariah at the Academy Awards was, arguably, quite rude. Mariah didn't shoot her a look for nothin'. Rude was something Whitney did well. I saw her live on the My Love Is Your Love tour and she made sarcastic comments to the crowd for not knowing her more obscure songs that well. It was quite very uncomfortable. But she could sing, and some of her songs are amazing (All The Man That I Need, I Believe In You And Me, I Look To You, and so on). She was unique. Even if a bit too shouty. (Saturday 13 October 2018; 16:13)

I can't lie (84,839) by george golden from uk Only Mariah Carey would release a great upbeat song with a boring video and boring song with a great video. Why are these last ten years full of flops? Does she also want to hold the record for most flops? Why can't she get it right anymore? I love Mariah but it's just sad where we are now. Sorry I can't lie and say everything is great because it really is not. (Saturday 13 October 2018; 15:40)

Re: New album (84,811) (84,838) by george golden from uk So if it's the weakest song why release it as a lead single? I have been a fan since 1992 and it's very disappointing where Mariah is creatively. Sloppy and lazy decisions. Alcohol and lingerie have taken center stage. Pure trash. (Saturday 13 October 2018; 15:31)

Re: New Mariah Carey song co-written by Fresco Kane (84,820) (84,837) by Bobby A from United States I feel you on this one. Why did she need him in the writing session? Sometimes MC makes me pull out what little hair that I have left with these unknown songwriters and rookie rappers. I have never heard of him before. I guess he will get his $3,000 dollar check deposited in his account by March. Maybe one day JD should sneak Walter Afanasieff into the studio and leave them there to hash out their differences and resume making magic again. Before JD leaves, he should tell Mariah that she is in excellent hands and say forgive him. But I know I am dreaming. Hell will freeze over before that ever happens. Lol. We need beautiful magic for MC15 and not fluffy weak album tracks with a JD protegee. (Saturday 13 October 2018; 14:55)

The Walter saga continues (84,836) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) I can definitely say that M and Walter made timeless songs but I also understand why M has decided to move on from that situation as well and as fans we should at least do our best to respect it. With Walter she lost not only a collaborator but someone who she really thought was a friend and someone that she could trust and obviously for him it was about business which I am ok with that too. To be honest who is to say what chemistry they would have if they worked together today no one really knows and for me I would rather M work with people who she is comfortable with and trust at this point over anything else because she seems to be a great place and that is that we have all missed for her, for quite some time. I truly believe that we are in for a musical treat with this new album I believe that it will satisfy every single one of us different levels but we just have to wait and see.
