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.

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)

Re: Accelerate (82,329) (82,331) by Todd from Melbourne, Australia I didn't know she had a new song out. I just listened to it, and it makes "I Don't" sound like Hotel California. What could she have been thinking to listen to that and go "Yep. That's perfect. Release it." (Monday 7 May 2018; 22:42)

Re: Meet and Greet - wait 2 hours for 20 seconds (82,325) (82,330) by Stacey from USA Um Stella was in the picture. I'm sure life is a whole lot clearer now that Stella and Co. are gone, baby, gone. (Monday 7 May 2018; 20:47)

Re: Accelerate (82,322) (82,329) by Bill from the UK 100%. I really miss the days when a song charted because it was well composed and the singer gave a great interpretation. The 90s was brilliant because it was like every genre could peacefully co-exist. You had the big voiced divas like Mariah, Whitney and Celine. You had dance outfits, grunge acts, indie bands, and legendary artists from the 60s and 70s still able to chart and perform well. I'm not sure when it all started falling apart but it was some time in the early 2000s. If you have to make the v-sign with your fingers and stick your glitter encrusted tongue in between it to sell a record, then take me to the King. (Monday 7 May 2018; 18:03)

Re: Meet and Greet - wait 2 hours for 20 seconds (82,327) (82,328) by Billy from England, UK It should be free. I wouldn't charge if I was her but I suppose you would get bombarded with people lol. (Monday 7 May 2018; 18:02)

Re: Meet and Greet - wait 2 hours for 20 seconds (82,323) (82,327) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands I don't know how to say this nicely, so I'll just say what I think. I think anyone is an idiot if you pay 1000 to 1500 dollars to meet Mariah for just 20 to 30 seconds. That's 50 dollars per second. (Monday 7 May 2018; 17:10)

Re: Accelerate (82,321) (82,326) by Tameka walker from United states Christina Aguilera has a great voice. However she is no Mariah Carey. She always from the beginning of her career copied Mariah Carey. Mariah is often imitated but never duplicated. There is only one Mariah Carey. (Monday 7 May 2018; 17:02)

Re: Meet and Greet- wait 2 hours for 20 seconds (82,323) (82,325) by Atwood from NY Could you explain the dazed loopy part like was she drunk? Lol. (Monday 7 May 2018; 15:47)

Mariah shows support for Brat on Set It Off tour (82,324) by Licia from USA Here's a little link of Mariah on stage with Da Brat and the cast on the Set It Off Tour. I never thought I'd see Mariah there, but I'm glad she went to show support for her friend. (Monday 7 May 2018; 13:03)

Re: Meet and Greet - wait 2 hours for 20 seconds (82,323) by Sheila from United States My meet and greet was pretty much: pay $1500, you wait for her for 2 hours and socialize with the lambs and they offer you a bottle of water, Stella went around hugging people. Then 2 hours later the diva arrives fully glam, each person gets about 30 seconds to take a pic, say you love her or you love this/that song and it's over. Mariah looks dazed/loopy the entire time. It's weird. (Monday 7 May 2018; 11:45)

Re: Accelerate (82,320) (82,322) by MusicfanJ from Germany The thing with the tongue in the video is more than trash. Madonna and Lady Gaga are already the ones for "shocking" videos. We don't need more entertainers like that. I really miss the time when it was all about good music. And the female singers didn't need those videos for selling. I know those times are gone, but I'm happy to have witnessed greater times in music. (Monday 7 May 2018; 11:39)

Re: Accelerate (82,319) (82,321) by MusicfanJ from Germany I can't take Christina and Britney seriously as artists. They are just entertainers. Christina had the better voice than Britney, but when "Dirty" was released I lost every interest in her. Christina copied Mariah from the beginning. She has some catchy songs but she'll never be in the liga like Alicia Keys for example musically. The new song and video is boring to me. Luckily everyone has a different taste.

Re: Accelerate (82,313) (82,320) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Back To Basics was actually good; it remains her most cohesive album to date. A little overlong, but still good. Not everyone can pull off an entirely retro-themed album complete with an image rehaul and everything, and that she decided to take that plunge in 2006 took major balls. It paid off and still managed to sell well, especially for an album of such sound. It was after that that things really started to go downhill - fast. Bionic was a very uneven album with clunky singles and where many of the best tracks were pushed aside as bonuses. It came out at a time when GaGa and Ke$ha were ruling the charts with better and/or catchier material, so that most definitely didn't help. And Lotus was, well, it was what it was. I have a sinking feeling that Liberation is gonna end up worse than Katy's Witness or JT's Man Of The Woods commercially. Let's see how it does critically. (Monday 7 May 2018; 06:25)

Re: Accelerate (82,316) (82,319) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines I appreciate the (not entirely) new direction she's taking, and I like the song's "chorus", if you can call it that. The featured rappers just ruin it for me. Their appearances in the song are just jarring, they practically hijacked it. And the video, while interesting and colorful, seems to be inspired by this weird mouth-tongue-lube fetish. Christina's lead off singles are usually not the best songs on the album, so I still have great hopes for Liberation. (Monday 7 May 2018; 06:10)

Re: Accelerate (82,316) (82,318) by Dennis from Miami, FL I agree about the song. It's interesting, catchy and experimental. I strongly disagree about her looks. I don't understand why this beautiful young female has those injected unnatural lips and other face features. (Monday 7 May 2018; 02:42)

Re: Accelerate (82,316) (82,317) by Bill from the UK I watched the video out of curiosity. Is she channeling Myley Cyrus? What a mess. (Monday 7 May 2018; 01:20)

Accelerate (82,316) by enwar00 from usa Interesting reading people's opinions here about Christina's new single. I'm obsessed with it. I've been listening to it and watching the video on my phone and on tv since she dropped it on Thursday. I was pleasantly surprised with it and with its overall direction. To me it's catchy and gets stuck in my head for hours. I actually like the colourful video and think it is artsy and sexy and think she's looking very youthful and pretty these days. It's so crazy how differently we can hear and see things through our own filters. (Monday 7 May 2018; 00:26)

Re: Meet and Greet questions (82,314) (82,315) by Ronnie from California Well that's just the culture we live in nowadays. A lot of celebrities are idolized. So when opportunity presents itself, a solid number of fans would be willing to pay a lot for not much. While I would want Mariah to compensate for the exorbitant price tag on her meet&greet, I think it would be foolish to actually meet her at such a cost. I don't place blame on Mariah, I place it on the consumer. MC is a nice gal and does really thoughtful things for her fans, but meet&greets are not one of them. (Monday 7 May 2018; 00:04)

Re: Meet and Greet questions (82,303) (82,314) by Andrew from UK A $1000 for a [censored] photo? I don't care who you are or think you are: if you pull shit like this to suckers who are desperate to meet you, you have your hand in exploitation and you are mired in shame. People considering spending this should spend the money on a Summer vacation and create some worthwhile memories - not piss it up a wall for 20 seconds with someone so contemptuous of your love she puts a price on you telling her about it.
