About Giovanni from USA: Been a fan since 2005.

Jermaine and Big Jim Wright (60,270) by Giovanni from USA As much as I appreciate their work with Mariah I would agree that Mariah needs to lose them and work with fresh producers. I doubt she's even keeping in touch with Jermaine after what happened. He basically put her on blast many times in interviews so I don't care for him anymore. Working with Diane Warren, Happy Perez or Pharell would possibly give Mariah her next hit. But from what we've seen Mariah looks super confident as if she already has one. It's possibly. I also think maybe there's a chance we'll be seeing some of those unreleased tracks from that leaked track list. I'm confident Mariah's next album will be another "Daydream" or "The Emancipation Of Mimi". (Tuesday 8 March 2016; 21:10)

Las Vegas shows a complete disaster (60,269) by Giovanni from USA Oh please, this is completely false. Why would Mariah continue expending her residency? (Tuesday 8 March 2016; 20:55)

Infinity (60,248) by Giovanni from USA Is cringe worthy to say the least. I love my Mariah but when I first heard it I hated it. I couldn't believe the woman who wrote all those legendary hits of hers wrote this tragic song. I can understand if she wants to do songs for fun, but if they are as bad as "Infinity" don't release them and put them on a number ones album. I want the Mariah who wrote "There's got to be a way", "So blessed", "Anytime you need a friend", "One sweet day", "My saving grace", "Fly like a bird", "Bring it on home", "Heavenly". Okay you get the point but I can't help it when it comes to Mariah's body of work. These songs are amazing. She needs to take her music more seriously if she wants to be more successful. We need a good single that will get her back on Billboard. Some say they don't care, but how can you not when you have someone like Rihanna closing in at 14. I only need her to at least tie or break The Beatles' record. Only then will I be at ease and satisfied for the rest of her time in the industry. I never thought that umbrella girl who first broke out of the scene with "Pon de replay" would be the one to threaten Mariah's number ones' record. (Tuesday 8 March 2016; 0:13)

Charmbracelet (60,247) by Giovanni from USA I love "Charmbracelet". My favs are "Through the rain", "The one", "I only wanted" and "My saving grace". "The one" should have been a single. (Monday 7 March 2016; 23:46)

Re: Article: Mariah: "Elton John's commitment to charity is amazing" (60,189) (60,190) by Giovanni from USA Looks like someone is looking for attention. (Saturday 5 March 2016; 0:30)

LA Reid (60,185) by Giovanni from USA I said it once and I'll say it again, I do not like nor trust the man what so ever. I hope Mariah is careful who she shares her music and ideas with. As well as taking control of how she wants things done. When I was younger I had no idea it was the label who picked the singles from an artist's album. Stella has done a good job repairing Mariah's image and having her booked for numerous events. I will say that. Vegas was a success and worked out in the long run so I'm happy. I just hope Stella will have Mariah everywhere promoting her next album. I think once Mariah is done with her Sweet Sweet Fantasy tour she'll be gearing up for the next era. I predict a single soon.

Jennifer Lopez (60,157) by Giovanni from USA Is the last person Mariah or any of us should worry about it. She signed with Epic, good for her. It's not like she's a threat. Didn't her last album sell less than Mariah's even with promotion? That pretty much speaks for itself. I honestly think "On the floor" was Jennifer's last chance at a hit as well as relevance. I would be shocked if she did come out with a hit. You can't count nobody out, but we're talking about two different artists here. Mariah is a singer, artist, songwriter, legend, icon and the most influential female ever. J Lo is a dancer and entertainer. What I'm trying to say is does anybody believe that any other artist could compete with Mariah if she made another "The Emancipation Of Mimi"? When Mariah is focused and completely dedicated in her music there's no stopping her. I honestly believe her next album will slay. (Thursday 3 March 2016; 21:04)

Re: Sam Smith (60,146) (60,148) by Giovanni from USA Thank you Lamb_O_Chop. You pretty much summed it up. I love Sam Smith as well. It would be amazing if Mariah were to have him on her album one day. (Thursday 3 March 2016; 10:00)

Re: Sam Smith (60,131) (60,140) by Giovanni from USA I think your post came off stupid and unnecessary. Sam Smith is one of my favorites of this generation. He's super talented and a big star. His debut album was very successful and he's a big fan of Mariah. He isn't trying to be George Michael. Who even remembers that man now and days? I agree his Oscar performance was terrible but so what? He won that award fair and square so there's no point in feeling salty. Lady Gaga's song is meh. (Thursday 3 March 2016; 0:11)

Promotion (60,128) by Giovanni from USA I hope Mariah goes on every talk show to promote her new album. "The View", "Ellen", "The Talk", "Good Morning America", Jimmy Kimmel, even on Steve Harvey. The promo has to as big as it was in 2005 so Stella better have Mariah everywhere. The reason why "The Emancipation Of Mimi" was so successful was because Mariah brought the music and promoted like crazy. So I'm so looking forward for the new single and era. Mariah is going to do just fine. I cannot wait for the slayage that's about to come. (Wednesday 2 March 2016; 9:39)

Re: JLo talks about Mariah (60,111) (60,116) by Giovanni from USA Oh please, Mariah isn't checking for Jennifer. And she certainly does not need her to come to one of her shows. They'll never be cool much less friends so you can forget about it. The actual talented artists I'd like to go see Mariah in Vegas would be John Legend, Sam Smith or Adele. (Tuesday 1 March 2016; 20:56)

It just hit me (60,105) by Giovanni from USA That Mariah at last night's viewing party looked reminiscent to how she looked in 2011 on an interview on Rosie O'Donnell. But even better, some may think her dress wasn't all that but I love it. It really complimented her body. Hands down the best looking woman at the party. Even with a cold, haha. (Tuesday 1 March 2016; 4:44)

Re: Oscars (60,100) (60,101) by Giovanni from USA Nah, Mariah looked way better last night. Give her credit for all the weight she lost. I think she looks pretty damn amazing for 45. (Tuesday 1 March 2016; 0:31)

Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscar viewing party (60,095) by Giovanni from USA Mariah looked amazing. The hair was gorgeous, make up was well done, nice looking ensemble and that figure is back. She's definitely gearing up for a comeback. "The Emancipation Of Mimi" anyone? (Monday 29 February 2016; 20:53)

M from Asia (60,094) by Giovanni from USA I wouldn't say "snatched" every time. Jennifer Lopez is a decent looking woman, but she's nowhere near Mariah's beauty. And Jennifer's ensembles are not always the best. She won't be relevant anymore now that she won't have "American Idol" anymore. (Monday 29 February 2016; 20:45)

Adele vs Mariah (60,078) by Giovanni from USA I really hope Mariah's next album gets more than one nomination for a Grammy. As talented and legendary as she is, she should have way more than five. But someone like Beyonce has 30. (*being sarcastic*) Her father helped her get her Grammys. Mariah was robbed in 2006 for album of the year. Adele came back strong with a hit song and sold millions but her album overall wasn't as great as "21". Which is okay because not every album from an artist can be as good as the other. What I'm saying is "25" might be nominated for album of the year but it isn't that good of an album. But if Mariah can score at least two number ones (which I know she can) she might have a better chance of winning. Also, I hear Ariana Grande, Lady Gaga and Christina Aguilera will be releasing albums this year. (Monday 29 February 2016; 1:42)

Kiss it better (60,069) by Giovanni from USA I actually took the time and listened to this [censored] song everyone seems to be so crazy about. And I just can't understand why. It's a total snooze fest. Mariah needs to come and slay this umbrella girl. (Sunday 28 February 2016; 12:05)

Age (60,068) by Giovanni from USA Mariah is only 45 and still looks amazing. She can definitely make another comeback and continue scoring number ones. Look at the garbage that's topping Billboard. You tell me the artist will the most number ones cannot get more. "We belong together" and "Don't forget about us" are massive hits. She's bound to break The Beatles record some day if she chooses to. It's all up to her really. But I know deep down she does. She surpassed Elvis and she'll surpass The Beatles. I was not buying the "we aren't trying to go near them" line on Jimmy Kimmel. You ain't fooling nobody Mimi. You know you want to and you will. (Sunday 28 February 2016; 10:48)

Re: Mariah's next album title (60,052) (60,067) by Giovanni from USA I think simply "The Elusive Chanteuse" would have sufficed. I just hope the next title is good and strong, as well as the cover. The album cover to "Infinity" is one of her worst. I loved all the ensembles you posted. Mariah does not look her age when she's in shape. And the make up she wore in 2013 was nice. I can't wait to see what's in store this year. Mariah is going to slay. (Sunday 28 February 2016; 10:28)

Mariah's next album title (60,048) by Giovanni from USA Is anyone else curious about what will Mariah name her next album? I'm hoping for something strong and decent. "Me I Am Mariah... The Elusive Chanteuse" was way too much and over the top. "The Emancipation Of Mimi" and "The Art Of Letting Go" were very good titles. I'm thinking she'll name it something based off where she is now in her life. Happy again ready for another comeback. I honestly believe she has at least two hit songs already recorded. t's just a matter of time. (Saturday 27 February 2016; 9:58)

Mimi L. (60,047) by Giovanni from USA I was curious if by any chance you liked the ensemble Mariah wore at the "American Idol" finale in 2013? I watched it recently and it's one of my favorite looks on her. Maybe a bit too much for some but I loved it. This ensemble along with the golden dress in Vegas are my two favorite ensembles Mariah has worned so far. (Saturday 27 February 2016; 9:43)

Beyonce collaboration (60,019) by Giovanni from USA I'm not going to think nothing of it until it actually happens. Rumors always surface but usually never turn out to be true. I'm actually not for a collaboration with Beyonce because people might say "she needed Beyonce for a hit or for relevance". Which isn't true. But I suppose Beyonce is better than Justin, Talyor or Rhianna lol. She is a very good technical singer who gives strong vocals. I just think her music doesn't compliment her voice. Beyonce is great with r&b and ballads, but that's pretty much it. She can't give you soul or pull off gospel like Mariah can. If this duet were to actually happen, I hope the song is good and goes to number one. (Thursday 25 February 2016; 21:33)

Re: Records (60,011) (60,018) by Giovanni from USA Exactly, and you have to take into consideration that Rihanna's number ones are forgettable and nowhere near the league or quality of Mariah's. I'm not worried at all. Mariah's surely capable of scoring more. (Thursday 25 February 2016; 21:13)

Mariah discusses her latino last name (60,005) by Giovanni from USA Very interesting. I'd say that footage was from '98 or '99. She looked gorgeous. I've always thought Mariah has such a pleasant speaking voice. (Thursday 25 February 2016; 0:36)

Re: New single (59,996) (59,999) by Giovanni from USA That is what I suspected. Mariah looks super happy, confident and relaxed like she's not worried about anything. Bring on the next era already. (Wednesday 24 February 2016; 22:19)
