Ball of wax tea (80,356) by RibbonB from USA I notice that a lot of lambs are salivating over what Mimi may have to say on the Time's Up slogan. This is unfortunate, because accusations of assault, abuse and harassment are serious with far reaching implications. Her own friends have been hit including her bff. Aries brother Brett Ratner, Russell Simmons and LA Reid. If Mimi has her own stories to share, shed better tread carefully as did Lupito, Salma and the other famous people who wrote eloquent statements of their truths. I don't know who Mimi thinks she can consult, it just takes people being willing to risk their reputations and careers. She never even commented on Kesha, while many others like GaGa and Taylor Swift did. I hope Mimi doesn't miss read the tone and intent of the movement because spilling tea is not the right tone and will most likely only hurt her and the so called movement. If she has anything to say, a well written and legally vetted open letter has worked for Hayak, Nyongo and Lumet, Russell's most prominent accuser. (Wednesday 10 January 2018; 06:24)

New Mariah remix (80,354) by Sean from United States Hey guys, new here. I've loved Mariah for ages now, and she has inspired me beyond words. I've recently remixed Underneath The Stars and would like to share it with you guys. Let me know what you think. (Wednesday 10 January 2018; 04:10)

Re: New Mariah (80,340) (80,353) by Lila from United States I'm still dumbfounded by how these made up stories about how he got rid of Stella have grown legs. All of it is nothing but highly vague nonsense, with absolutely no logical reasoning behind them, made up by fans who stan them as a couple and will glob onto any little tidbit or make up anything to prove that they're a real couple. With Mariah's penchant for taking staff on personal holidays and never being caught dead with him on the red carpets of anything high profile despite calling him her boyfriend yet being willing to do low brow crap, it's hard for them to prove it so they resort to twisting anything. I think if anyone was finally able to cut through Mariah's train wreck it was Patti LaBelle who said that she told Mariah she had some not so good people around her. Not to mention, whatever shady nonsense went down with that theft/security mishap that couldn't be explained away. (Wednesday 10 January 2018; 03:56)

Re: New Mariah (80,351) (80,352) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha I see Special K is still thirsty for Tanya. (Wednesday 10 January 2018; 03:46)

Re: New Mariah (80,337) (80,351) by Special K from USA Give my baby credit. Team Tanaka. (Wednesday 10 January 2018; 01:27)

Re: New Mariah (80,337) (80,350) by Stacey from USA Well, if Bryan was the key in getting Stella the boot, then maybe I'll tolerate him a bit longer, lol. (Tuesday 9 January 2018; 21:39)

Marc Shaiman (80,349) by Terna from Nigeria She's done a whole Christmas album with him and a few songs here and there and it got me wondering, what would it sound like for them creating love songs and ballads, like with Walter Afanansief in the past? So far I love all the songs they've done especially "The Star" but all are kinda Christmas related. Maybe he's the new Walter. (Tuesday 9 January 2018; 21:27)

Re: New Mariah (80,335) (80,348) by Terna from Nigeria Speaking of the "ball of wax" in the music industry, it got me thinking, could Mariah be coming for Tommy's head and then there's Clive with the TLC "Crazy Sexy Cool" era situation but L.A Reid is kinda involved in that mess and he's Mariah's friend. Now that would be something to watch unravel. (Tuesday 9 January 2018; 21:14)

Mariah 2018 (80,347) by Bill from the UK Whilst I am pleased with Mariah’s recent image overhaul and great PR and engagements etc., what I’m really missing right now and craving from her is some new music. I hope we see a new album delivered this year. (Tuesday 9 January 2018; 20:46)

Re: Little by little (80,339) (80,346) by MusicfanJ from Germany Mariah is looking more and more beautiful and like herself. The change is so obvious and positive. Her new team is doing great, she needs to keep them. The social media is now enjoyable, with her old witch-team it was almost frightening to see what's next. Like someone said she belongs to the "royalty" in the biz and not to the reality stuff for wannabes. So I repeat thumbs up for the new team. It's really a pow moment. (Tuesday 9 January 2018; 19:36)

Re: Oprah (80,319) - Mariah2020 (80,342) (80,345) by Anonymous from Damn, I just got told lol. Literally I can just imagine you writing that comment and then dropping the mic afterwards lol. Well in all honesty Andy I'm not gonna front, I'm really shocked. I know very little of Oprah's circle but throughout the years I have respected her views on many topics such as integration, women's rights, LGBTQ rights, animal rights, equality, empowering black people and just people in general etc. I'm not saying she's perfect nor do I think the sun shines out of arse but I really do hope that most of her intentions have been sincere. You highlighting her relationship with Harvey has left me gobsmaked and I'm quite simply gutted. It has challenged my view on Oprah and I definitely have to do more research. It's hard to believe that a woman of Oprah's stature, the inergrity platform she resides on, didn't know about Harvey's predatory ways, especially with the whispers and rumours circulating for decades. I suppose in some cases you can never fully know someone, but in this instance it's hard to believe that Oprah was unaware or even ignorant to Harvey's ways. And yes, I believe you're right, Oprah is way more powerful than him, she should have spoken out sooner but at least she is now, even if it is a cop, who influence is powerful. I really hope you haven't burst my Oprah bubble, only time will tell if you have. If this is the case then you owe me drink and many tissues. P.s I had to google the word prostletysing, it's my new word of the day. Does my comment now warrant me dropping mic? Always a pleasure my dear. (Tuesday 9 January 2018; 19:28)

Golden Globes party moment (80,344) by Billy from England, UK I loved this little moment, would be fun to see them do another music video together hehe. (Tuesday 9 January 2018; 19:07)

Re: Little by little (80,339) (80,343) by Licia from USA She allowed old Stella two and a half years too long to finish derailing her image and career. It's only fair to give this new team at least a year to see what they can do for her. So far so good. I'm hoping more positive things can come from this. (Tuesday 9 January 2018; 18:12)

Re: Oprah (80,319) - Mariah2020 (80,342) by Andrew from UK Yes you can't beat a bit of Oprah? You can't beat a bit of Oprah, who was good friends with Harvey Weinstein, prostletysing from on high as if she is somehow the leader of the fight against bullying and assault when she, as the most powerful woman in the media for decades with nothing to lose for speaking out, has never really said a word about it. You also can't beat her being jeered on by Meryl Streep, who defends and supports the alleged child rapist Roman Polanski and being clapped by the very people who are part of the industry problem as if they are somehow now the martyrs to the problem. People had put their careers before right and righteousness. And sorry to say, I think even Mariah did to a degree. I will say more than most she laid claim to, or inferred that, she was mistreated by people in her industry. But she's always been quite mute about it, always pausing to think of a phrase to redirect. Forgive me, sexual assault on men and women (yes men, too: for years nobody wanted to listen to Corey Feldman who actually was "brave") is totally horrific. But faux moral grandstanding when you knew about it and did [censored] all in a bid to save yourself is insulting to the victims of it. And hashtagging "me too" lies at the other end of the spectrum from "brave". So yeah, Oprah2020? Even Mariah2020 makes more sense. But I still love you much, Jade lol.

Re: Official website (80,336) (80,341) by Bill from the UK I really hope the click bait goes when the site is updated. (Tuesday 9 January 2018; 16:50)

Re: New Mariah (80,337) (80,340) by RibbonB from USA The common thread between the "messy" era and the now "maybe" era is he is on Mariah's payroll. Who knows what their feelings are, but if the income is cut off, he will have to leave her side and seek employment elsewhere. That might "work" for her until there "ain't no doughnuts and coffee" from "It's a wrap". (Tuesday 9 January 2018; 16:45)

Re: Little by little (80,338) (80,339) by T from USA The question is how long can Mariah say "under the control" of this management. If Mariah has one problem (compared to Celine or Madonna) it is her inability to stay in one place very long, even if things are going well. I just hope she gives ROC Nation and Melissa at least two years to see where they can take her. (Tuesday 9 January 2018; 14:28)

Little by little (80,338) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Judging by all the great things that have been happening since the witch was fired, I guess those are enough to confirm that Stella was holding Mariah back (which also unfortunately means Mariah is very impressionable, so she really needs to be surrounded by top-notch professionals). People didn't praise Mariah for doing well at NYE because that's what they expect of her - to deliver a respectable performance. And right now, it's just mostly fans that are raving about Mariah's new glow and aura. If she keeps this up, then more and more people will and this will only add another chapter to her redemption story. She looked stunning in the Golden Globes - her look was like a mix of her previous looks in different eras of her career. She's bubbly and approachable again, significantly more lucid, which leads us to conclusion number two - Stella is a human sedative. Law Roach (of ANTM, who styles Celine Dion, Zendaya, etc.) styled her that night. This is progress, guys. Open off that Bacardi (but none of that for Mariah, please). (Tuesday 9 January 2018; 12:39)

Re: New Mariah (80,329) (80,337) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter From what I've gathered, Stella quite possibly was the mastermind behind the "relationship" but there came a point where Tanaka and Stella didn't see eye to eye. That's probably when the "break up" happened between Mariah and Bryan and we got all those stories about how Bryan is demanding more money and how Mariah left Bryan because she realized how he was using her for money and fame. Then Bryan came back into the picture and eventually phased Stella out. They say Bryan played a key role in Stella's dismissal but ofcourse these are all unconfirmed. (Tuesday 9 January 2018; 12:24)

Official website (80,336) by Lighty from China Mariah looks gorgeous at GG. The new team is absolutely doing a very good job. But I noticed on thing they seem to have missed is that since Stella was fired, Mariah's official website also stopped updating. The latest news was posted on November 24, which was more than one month ago. Though maybe very few people are still visiting the site, it's still an important official platform of hers. Somebody tell Mariah's new team to do something about this. (Tuesday 9 January 2018; 11:59)

Re: New Mariah (80,326) (80,335) by Bill from the UK I agree with what has been said about Mariah and her new team. Watching the clips from the Golden Globes was really refreshing. It was like it was 2005 again. She looked incredible and her with Sharon Stone was really nice to see. I am also interested in the "ball of wax" (lol) that Mariah said is waiting to be uncovered in the music industry following the Hollywood scandal. Absolutely she should be the consultant as she said, she was right there at one of the biggest record labels at the time, married to the boss. Lord knows what she saw and experienced. Not just her own struggles but those of other artists too. Watch this space indeed. (Tuesday 9 January 2018; 08:35)

Re: New Mariah (80,325) (80,334) by darrian liu from taiwan I agree so so much. Now is such a good time to be a lamb with all the positive press surrounding Mariah. She looks absolutely stunning in the Golden Globes, very classic Mariah. I'm also so happy she has started to use her platform for things that truly matter like she used to, this Time's Up campaign is amazing. (Tuesday 9 January 2018; 07:56)

Re: New Mariah (80,326) (80,333) by John from USA Agree. Exciting times indeed. I hope that along with the new packaging comes some high end, well-directed music videos with actual concepts/storylines and not just Mariah doing "look at me be sexy" poses nonstop. If the new team can convince Mariah to do this, then I would be one happy lamb. (Tuesday 9 January 2018; 05:24)

Re: New Mariah (80,326) (80,332) by enwar00 from usa You both made some great points. I also hear her articulating better during interviews and once again speaking more eloquently. This also makes a difference in how someone looks. This is how I remember Mariah, speaking well. I can say from experience I've noticed a difference in my speaking as I've grown less interested in my work and look forward to doing something different soon to bring it back to good like Mariah has again.
