Re: The Voice (85,250) (85,256) by Andrew from UK I think she is advising them all. The interview Mariah had about The Voice was thoughtful, non-flakey, didn't involve a lot of hair touching and it was interesting. My only concern here is that she'll be expected to sing and she is struggling within one octave. If she lips on The Voice it's game over. (Wednesday 24 October 2018; 17:41)

Re: Brat bankruptcy (85,248) (85,255) by Andrew from UK Da Brat is a violent thug who changed someone's life forever because she's a petulant, self-entitled madam. She owes that woman she assaulted that money. Should Mariah pay for it? Why should she? The victim deserves it, so it would be good for her. But Da Brat deserves no help. If she earns $9000 a month she should give the victim $8000 of it. But that would require morality and decency, not, naturally, virtues of violent thugs. Why is Mariah even still in contact with her? If anyone I knew smashed someone over the head with a bottle I would never speak to them again. (Wednesday 24 October 2018; 17:38)

Re: The Voice (85,246) (85,254) by RibbonB from USA We will find out then. The article makes it seem like she's just helping Jhud. Either way I hope she sets a good example. (Wednesday 24 October 2018; 17:29)

Re: ? (85,237) (85,253) by Andrew from UK The world is no more "negative" than it has been in the past (whatever that means), that's just a platitude some [censored] might offer up to suggest people who have dissenting opinions are bad and should be denied platforms. The world is a safer, fairer more connected place than it has ever been. I would offer up this: the world is *dumb* enough as it is at the moment. This board should be a break from dumbness. I.e., people screaming like emotional [censored] that everything is just how they say it is, then crying even louder when people point out that it isn't. (Wednesday 24 October 2018; 17:27)

Re: Album bundles (85,244) (85,252) by darrian liu from taiwan I agree wholeheartedly. This team really isn't playing around. I actually love that they're going with the standard promotional plan, because it has the least risk and it's pretty much a tried-and-true formulas that has always worked. Album bundles? Check. Cover art reveal? Check. Promotional single? Check. A performance at a big awards show? Check. High profile TV appearances? Check. With Mariah's recent commercial failures, it's wise to just go with the traditional rollout instead of going with more unconventional album release strategies that would only work with artists with a great fanbase and support from the general public. The only thing I would wish is that they push The Distance into pop and urban radios and With You into AC radio (I think they did this already?). The Distance really is a great single, probably her best single since #Beautiful. And maybe book an appearance at the MTV EMAs to perform the song, or another award show, or daytime TV. Will she be offering tour ticket album bundles? That's the most effective album bundles ever. This era will be her most successful era since 2008/2009, I could feel it.

Re: Mariah Carey dragged into Da Brat's bankruptcy case (85,245) (85,251) by RibbonB from USA This Rosie interview is classic and entertaining. In it at the 2:50 Mark she jokingly but seriously notes that she always feels financially insecure and with recessions nobody is safe, so can people not call every time they need five dollars. 8 million is a whole other level of bumbing. I love that interview, when Mimi was still open, fun, she certainly seemed happy then. (Wednesday 24 October 2018; 16:09)

Re: The Voice (85,246) (85,250) by Shezz from Pk That would be amazing if she advised them all. I wonder if it is only a one episode thing. Did anyone catch the recent Voice clip where two contestants sang ABMB (in a showdown or whatever it's called) and Blake friggin Shelton said he never heard that song before. All the other judges specially Adam Levine went off on him and he said that he doesn't really listen to Mariah Carey and has only heard her Christmas song. Now he deserves an "I don't know him".

Re: Album bundles (85,244) (85,249) by Shezz from Pk Is Roc Nation responsible for this or Epic? I suppose it is a mix but Epic didn't push the previous stuff much plus M probably wasn't in the zone. Maybe Roc Nation is doing a lot because this is their first project with her? Is her current manager Melissa under Roc Nation? (Wednesday 24 October 2018; 15:30)

Re: Brat bankruptcy (85,232) (85,248) by Licia from USA I agree. Brat made that poor choice. Not JD, Mariah, or anyone else. I wouldn't be mad at them if they choose not to help. (Wednesday 24 October 2018; 14:29)

Re: The Voice (85,240) (85,247) by Licia from USA I don't watch that one either. I don't think I could sit through a whole show with DJ Khaled screaming. Lol. I've heard that people enjoy The Four though. (Wednesday 24 October 2018; 14:22)

Re: The Voice (85,220) (85,246) by Jenny from South Africa Actually I read Mariah is the key advisor and will work with all four teams. I think this particular article mentioned Jennifer hudson's team because there's a clip of Mariah with Jennifer. (Wednesday 24 October 2018; 13:43)

Re: Mariah Carey dragged into Da Brat's bankruptcy case (85,239) (85,245) by Bill from the UK I find it incredible and unbelievable that Da Brat is unable to survive on nine thousand dollars a month. Live within your means like everyone else. (Wednesday 24 October 2018; 13:08)

Album bundles (85,244) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines This truly doesn't feel like a comeback, which is good, because it actually feels more like a re-introduction. And mama is bringin' the merch, y'all. The album bundles are quite nice. The pink vinyl is hot and so is the cute phone case. And now there's a limited edition with more tracks. I'm actually impressed at how her current team is rolling out this promotional plan. It's like one surprise after the other. It's actually pretty standard fare compared to the promo done for younger artists today, but is still very much welcome considering it's been such a loooong time since Mariah's team has fired from all cylinders. She really wants this thing to work. The best thing about is how unfazed they are about the mostly lukewarm public reception to most of what they have done so far. They just push through with the plans regardless, whereas in previous album eras, promo would usually stop even after the slightest disappointment / discouragement. Again, kudos to Mariah's current team for the awesome job so far. (Wednesday 24 October 2018; 12:09)

Re: ? (85,237) (85,243) by Shezz from Pk Why can't the negativity just be ignored instead of being constantly addressed and thus creating more of a cycle? (Wednesday 24 October 2018; 12:03)

Nick Cannon says Mimi had multiple miscarriages (85,242) by Sheila from United States I was watching VLADTV Hiv Chemical Warfar clip of Nick's interview and he admits they did special treatments because Mariah had a few miscarriages in 2008, which is why she stopped promoting E=MC2. He also says when Ellen offered her wine she was indeed preggers and lost the baby 2 days later. Intense stuff. (Wednesday 24 October 2018; 11:46)

Team Mariah (85,241) by darrian liu from taiwan I gotta say tho, this team has been doing wonders. They really promoted her with the same gusto they would do to a promising new act. Did y'all remember the mess that was Infinity's rollout? One of my least favorite moves that her old team always made was constantly mentioning Mariah's accolades, achievements, etc, and to be honest, to the younger demographic, it makes her feel old to us. Like she's this untouchable relic from the past. Constantly mentioning her 18 no. 1 hits were not doing any good for Mariah. Now, her team doesn't even bother mentioning it. They're booking her at the right places, giving out the best rollout campaign she's ever had probably since TEOM/E=MC2, and I'm lovin it. (Wednesday 24 October 2018; 11:23)

Re: The Voice (85,233) (85,240) by RibbonB from USA I think She did do that. I'm just glad she's not involved with The Four. That show is such a dud. Is it cancelled yet? Or is I on hiatus like Cassie? (Wednesday 24 October 2018; 10:34)

Re: Mariah Carey dragged into Da Brat's bankruptcy case (85,234) (85,239) by RibbonB from USA I don't, as that would be a colossal mistake. Mimi seems to be having her own financial woes, with constant touring, salaries to pay, etc. Brat should never have bragged on other's bag, as in saying publicly that she could get either Mimi or JD to pay her debt. JD has had his own tax problems. Brat should do the right thing and create a payment plan to support her victim for the rest of her life. Or maybe they should do a reality show together to generate funds. (Wednesday 24 October 2018; 10:28)

Re: World tour (85,199) (85,238) by Timothy from USA Very good point webmaster and just when I thought it was putting the cart before the horse I see that this is one more very well played strategy by Roc Nation to ensure a more successful era. (Wednesday 24 October 2018; 06:06)

Re: ? (85,192) (85,237) by Timothy from USA Agreed. Some of these posts are pathetic. Cynical for cynical sake. If you consistently spend time and energy on something or someone you have such dislike for, it says way more about your life than the topic you are discussing. Take the perpetual negativity somewhere else. The world is negative enough as it is at the moment. This board should be a break from the vitriol. (Wednesday 24 October 2018; 06:03)

Re: The Voice (85,231) (85,236) by Shezz from Pk I wish she was on Kelly's team though. Would have loved to see Kelly fan girling over her. Hope they get to interact. Never really followed that show except for YouTube clips so I don't know how that works. (Wednesday 24 October 2018; 05:28)

Re: Limited edition of Caution (85,229) (85,235) by Bobby A from United States The limited deluxe edition of Caution explains why there is a standard 10-track edition on Amazon listed for 7.99. The standard edition is for the general curious buying public while the limited deluxe edition with extra tracks will be for the Lambily. We probably won't get a Target Exclusive now since there is an limited deluxe edition. When the tracklisting is revealed, I think we all will be pleased. (Wednesday 24 October 2018; 03:07)

Mariah Carey dragged into Da Brat's bankruptcy case (85,234) by B from USA Does anyone else think Mariah will help Da Brat by paying this off for her? (Wednesday 24 October 2018; 02:51)

Re: The Voice (85,227) (85,233) by Licia from USA Now it makes a lot more sense as to why she's doing it. I wish she would have just been a mentor on Idol. Maybe it would have hone better. Didn't they have her mentor once on Idol? Like way before she agreed to be a judge ? (Wednesday 24 October 2018; 02:31)

Brat bankruptcy (85,232) by RibbonB from USA Now dragging Mimi and JD in is a stretch and I hope is not allowed. Brat is the only one responsible for that debt. Yikes. (Wednesday 24 October 2018; 02:26)
