Re: Meet and Greet - wait 2 hours for 20 seconds (82,352) (82,356) by Edward from USA Are you implying we should all unite and ban Eric from the messageboard? I'm down. (Wednesday 9 May 2018; 15:23)

Allure video (82,355) by Will from England Are we not going to talk about how great, funny and relaxed Mariah was? Ok. (Wednesday 9 May 2018; 10:09)

Re: Janet (82,350) (82,354) by Shezz from Pk It is very ironic that the artist with best Billboard performance and numerous Billboard milestones and records is not being given the Billboard Icon Award while other artists as good as they may be in their own rights but with less impressive Billboard performances are being recognised before her. It's clearly politics and not just merrit. (Wednesday 9 May 2018; 07:43)

Re: Accelerate (82,329) (82,353) by B from USA I do as well. Sadly, musicians seem uninspired these days, Mariah included. Thankfully, her last album was a return to form and is still enjoyable. I really hope her next album sounds nothing like Accelerate or Memoirs or MIAM. (Wednesday 9 May 2018; 06:09)

Re: Meet and Greet - wait 2 hours for 20 seconds (82,327) (82,352) by B from USA Personally, I do not care what anyone else spends their money on. Why belittle the fans who have or are planning on doing so? If it does not affect you or your livelihood, why be outraged? (Wednesday 9 May 2018; 06:07)

Re: Janet (82,350) (82,351) by CDC from CA Well one might counter your sentiments on Janet with the idea that the Billboard Awards are an American product, and that the main prerequisite to qualify for the Icon Award is a long presence on the Billboard charts, which Janet has been. That, and a quiet quid pro quo PR campaign that'll ensure the recipient's participation in the ceremony. Not to keep backbiting Jennifer Lopez, but she really is the only stain on the Icon award roll call. Stevie Wonder, Prince, Cher... and Jennifer Lopez? Yikes. In terms of establishment recognition, I'd be more enthusiastic if Mariah were to be qualified for something like the Rock Hall of Fame, in which instance some of her artifacts (butterfly rings, bedazzled microphones, Christmas suits, Rainbow two piece) would be exhibited.

Janet (82,350) by Andrew from UK It is a frickin joke that Mariah is going to receive this after Jennifer Lopez and Janet Jackson. Awards like this should have a defined criteria for who receives it or else it is rather meaningless. Janet Jackson had never been that popular outside of the United States. She has never been very commercially accessible. She is not making any headlines. It feels meaningless. That Jennier Lopez received it before Celine Dion is a piss-take. I hope Mariah Carey wins it next year. And goes bowling when the show is on. (Tuesday 8 May 2018; 23:06)

Re: Janet wins Icon BBMA (82,335) (82,349) by CDC from CA I think Janet is very deserving. Even overdue for this type of recognition. 2015 would've been a good year to give it to Mariah (her silver jubilee), as she even performed that year and announced that it was her first return to the BBMAs in nearly two decades and even presented a mini video tribute. And had Idina Menzel present her who is one of the most perfect human beings. But the year prior they gave it to J.Lo so my guess is that Mariah didn't see the worth in that award anymore. So they didn't give the award to anyone that year. (Tuesday 8 May 2018; 21:26)

Re: Met Gala (82,344) (82,348) by Tijl from Belgium You are absolutely right. Looking at the atendees' outfits one can only smirk at the level of rediculous fancy dress. This has nothing to do with style but is merely focused on making headlines while wearing the most bizar creations. Mariah looks her best when she plays the Old Hollywood card like at this years Golden Globes. As you mentioned... better appreciated elsewhere than to be tolerated at this "circus of the egos". (Tuesday 8 May 2018; 20:10)

Article: Watch Mariah Carey apply makeup to a stranger (82,347) by MusicfanJ from Germany The video on instagram is really nice to watch. How I missed to see her like that. Her smile and the way she talks, this is truly Mariah. A classy, beautiful woman and just sweet. I have a 90ies flashback and I mean that positive. Please more of it. (Tuesday 8 May 2018; 19:49)

Re: Meet and Greet - wait 2 hours for 20 seconds (82,328) (82,346) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, if it's is free the whole audience from the concert would go and meet her. I mean who wouldn't? But I think the "Meet and Great" shouldn't be that expensive. Although she's the one and only MC and a global superstar. The lambs who met her at an airport or at the hotel are the lucky ones. I dream of it since day one of my fandom. (Tuesday 8 May 2018; 19:30)

Re: MET Gala (82,341) (82,345) by CDC from CA I believe she was to attend in 2008 with Andre Leon Talley, but pulled out at the last minute because of her surprise wedding. Before 2009 the MET Gala wasn't as much of a tabloid extravaganza and given how prominent Mariah is in the New York social scene, she very well might have attended one of the earlier iterations of the MET Gala. But as a spectator, the celebrity turn out has been dwindling over the last few years and even huge names like Amy Schumer have said how much of a burden attending is. (Tuesday 8 May 2018; 19:14)

Met Gala (82,344) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) The Met Gala has lost its prestige it is a popularity contest now. Other then Rihanna most of the attendees looked basic or ridiculous. Honestly I don't see the big deal and I would prefer M to stay away from all of that and continue being herself these social events should not validate her or her status. She should go where she is appreciated not tolerated. (Tuesday 8 May 2018; 18:13)

Re: MET Gala (82,341) (82,343) by Licia from USA Mariah has never really been known for her fashion sense. To be honest half the stuff that the people who do get invited wear isn't that great either. She's not missing much. Lol. Once Rihanna got there it was pretty much done. (Tuesday 8 May 2018; 15:35)

Re: MET Gala (82,341) (82,342) by Tijl from Belgium I don't think so. She never attended any of the previous editions. Maybe the powers that be at Vogue don't consider her as a fashion icon. (Tuesday 8 May 2018; 14:27)

MET Gala (82,341) by 90sMariah from SG I haven't seen her on it. Was she never invited for any of it? (Tuesday 8 May 2018; 14:19)

Re: Meet and Greet - wait 2 hours for 20 seconds (82,332) (82,340) by Tijl from Belgium What to say? Paying 1500 dollars to have a very brief photo opp (one can hardly refer to the situation as a meet & greet) is a bit out there and all but democratic. On the other hand if they would charge a more friendly amount it would become an overtly time consuming and difficult affair as hundreds of people would buy those tickets. I do like Andrew's suggestion of a lottery but I doubt if this is doable from a safety point of view. I have no doubt that the meet and greet ticket buyers are screened by Mariah's security team beforehand. Nobody wants to take the risk of letting some lunatic close to Mariah (albeit that her team over the past years consisted of many a crazy bugger). Anyway if a fan is willing to pay those prices, let them be. Honestly I wouldn't hesitate a moment but my bank manager begs to differ. (Tuesday 8 May 2018; 14:06)

Re: Meet and Greet - wait 2 hours for 20 seconds (82,339) by Sheila from United States Honey B Fly gave away all the meet and greets free during the CB tour I'm told and the Daydream tour. Lambs are not "idiots" for spending there [sic] money to meet Mariah and take a photo with there [sic] icon. It's there [sic] money honey. That was mean and uncalled for. Allow people to be great. Calling friends/lambs "idiots" again is disrespectful. (Tuesday 8 May 2018; 11:50)

Re: Janet wins Icon BBMA (82,335) (82,338) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Honey, don't hate on Janet. She deserves it every bit as Mariah does. The real travesty here is that J.Lo got the same honor in 2014, even before Celine and Cher and Janet. Clearly this is not based on records set or broken. Mariah's turn will come, and it will even be sweeter then. (Tuesday 8 May 2018; 02:11)

Re: Janet wins Icon BBMA (82,335) (82,337) by Licia from USA If you mean Janet should have just as many as Mariah then I agree. Both of them are deserving. (Tuesday 8 May 2018; 00:43)

Re: Cannes Film Festival (82,334) (82,336) by Billy from Greece Yes she has, during the Precious promotion. (Tuesday 8 May 2018; 00:24)

Janet wins Icon BBMA (82,335) by Atwood from NY Mariah has won 14 BBMA, Janet has won 5. How does this [censored] happen? I don't know her lol. (Monday 7 May 2018; 23:18)

Cannes Film Festival (82,334) by Eduard from Indonesia I am coming to Cannes for the Cannes Film Festival and wondering if MC has attended this event before? Anyawy, is anyone around? (Monday 7 May 2018; 23:07)

Re: Meet and Greet - wait 2 hours for 20 seconds (82,332) (82,333) by Bill from the UK I agree. I was about to write it should be done as a lottery that you choose to enter when you buy the tickets - even making it exclusive for fan club members, seeing as they're already paying a premium for a key ring and a pink notebook. (Monday 7 May 2018; 23:06)

Re: Meet and Greet - wait 2 hours for 20 seconds (82,327) (82,332) by Andrew from UK I suggested a lottery. What a gesture of goodwill that it would be. Mariah should have an app that tracks her tours, sells tickets and merchandise, links to YouTube and so on. In addition to an actual licensed MC app the gesture of meeting her for free in a draw would be such a positive PR move. I would do it like this: apply one hour before the show start-time with your ticket number and get the result 30 minutes before. Approach them and be wined and dined. What a great PR move. What a great inclusive move for the lambs. "No proper shoes upon my feet, sometimes I couldnt even eat." Have you forgotten yourself, Mariah? I really should be your manager. But it's not about ideas, it's all about the Benjamins. N'est-ce pas? (Monday 7 May 2018; 22:52)
