Re: Mathew "the truth of this rumor" (76,931) by Nikki from usa I'd like to know exactly what makes this rumor true? Wishful thinking? Radar is a tabloid that's wrong 70% of the time. They reported this story claiming Mariah was shopping on Rodeo Drive while she's been out of the country for the past 3 weeks and used a recent picture of her shopping in Paris. People like Mariah don't have limits on their credit cards. (Thursday 6 July 2017; 23:46)

Lullaby (76,930) by Billy from Greece Such an addictive song. Purely sublime. (Thursday 6 July 2017; 23:33)

Re: Chriatnas [sic] in Vegas? (76,925) (76,929) by Licia from USA That's very true Bill. Lol. (Thursday 6 July 2017; 22:23)

Re: Chriatnas [sic] in Vegas? (76,924) (76,928) by MusicfanJ from Germany I wonder too. Oh yes, NY is perfect for Christmas. When was the last time Mariah was "seen" in New York? Does she still own this wonderful penthouse in New York City? I understand that Mariah may not like the weather there (too cold) but it's her hometown. I wish she would spend a little more time there (without her entourage). (Thursday 6 July 2017; 21:24)

Thank you B and Warrior Butterfly (76,927) by Billy from Greece Thank you for responding. (Thursday 6 July 2017; 20:36)

Re: Chriatnas [sic] in Vegas? (76,925) (76,926) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha, Bill needs to be banned like Edward from USA. You all play too much. (Thursday 6 July 2017; 20:24)

Re: Chriatnas [sic] in Vegas? (76,923) (76,925) by Bill from the UK I'm sure the backing tracks and pre-records will all be in place by then. (Thursday 6 July 2017; 19:50)

Re: Chriatnas [sic] in Vegas? (76,923) (76,924) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I too remember hearing about it and was not pleased. Christmas in Vegas just doesn't sound good, I mean NY was perfect for it. I wonder what made her change it. (Thursday 6 July 2017; 19:31)

Re: Chriatnas [sic] in Vegas? (76,922) (76,923) by Licia from USA I heard this months ago. I am slightly surprised that she's doing it in Vegas instead of New York though. It's become sort of a expectation for her to be in NY. I'm more concerned with how she's going to be able to handle the last Vegas shows and the tour vocally. I didn't realize that they were so close together. In my opinion three days isn't enough time to prepare. Maybe that was enough back in the day, but not now. (Thursday 6 July 2017; 16:27)

Chriatnas [sic] in Vegas? (76,922) by B from USA Is Mariah really going to do her annual Christmas shows in Vegas this year instead of NY? I was so looking forward to seeing her in NY this December. (Thursday 6 July 2017; 15:10)

Blackish (76,921) by B from USA I was watching Blackish the other night and they were arguing about who wrote All I Want For Christmas Is You (it was a Christmas episode). The grandparents thought it was a cover of a 70's song until the son told them Mariah wrote it. Sadly most people still think it's a cover. I laughed out loud when one of the character said all Mariah wants for Christmas is to go back in time to fix her prenup with Cannon. Maybe she's taking on all these side projects because she's paying him spousal support. (Thursday 6 July 2017; 14:53)

Re: "I Don't" reached 19 million views, what do you think? (76,916) (76,920) by B from USA Lets be honest, people aren't watching J.Lo's videos for the music. They're watching to look at her body. If Mariah was in Touch My Body shape when she filmed all of her videos she'd be able to reach the same demographics JLo does. Horny boys and men. (Thursday 6 July 2017; 14:41)

Re: Wild Thoughts / chorus girl Mariah (76,917) (76,919) by Bill from the UK I Know What You Want is a great example of just that. I wonder what happened with the new Busta collar? (Thursday 6 July 2017; 14:28)

Re: Wild Thoughts / chorus girl Mariah (76,917) (76,918) by MusicfanJ from Germany It's funny that you mentioned the "Maria Maria" sample because I thought the same, it's the best part of the song. And the kids have no idea how beautiful the original song is. Lol Rihanna sounds as usually not good. Her singing reminds me of a female duck in some parts. I hope Mariah will not go that route, if I want to hear bubble-gum pop or uninspired, overproduced Rnb I can switch to the radio or music tv. Like B. said I want a Mariah song. As simple as said. I'm tired of the guest-rappers. And I don't need this DJ Khaled and other hip Djs. It would be ok for two or three songs on an album but I really need a heartfelt song with great lyrics. (Thursday 6 July 2017; 13:54)

Wild Thoughts / chorus girl Mariah (76,917) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines I get the appeal of the song, it's okay though it's a blatant attempt at capitalizing on this renewed interest for Latin-tinged music and tropical beats, but that's only due to the brilliant sampling of Santana's Maria Maria. Without it, the whole thing falls apart. I have always felt iffy about Mariah's own songs where she was relegated to the role of chorus girl, but sometimes I feel like she should do what Rihanna does these days and jump into guest spots for songs from hot producers. It does sound desperate, but at least it would somehow widen her horizons a bit and work with people outside her usual circle. Calvin Harris just dropped the summer album of the year that's funk-oriented, and he has songs in there where Ariana and Katy sings like 2-3 lines repeatedly. I wouldn't mind if Mariah did that these days. I mean she already did Why You Mad, so I assume there is no way that things will get any worse than that. I mean this idea of unlikely collaborations and this hip-pop thing may not be something she invented, but is something that she brought to the mainstream in the form of Fantasy. So why not own that and take advantage of it, show everybody that nobody can beat her at her own game? (Thursday 6 July 2017; 12:47)

Re: "I Don't" reached 19 million views, what do you think? (76,912) (76,916) by Malcolm from Asia Do you think she will reach this huge amount of views and following without the latino market? Because for me it is a big part for her so called comeback in 2011. What I'm trying to say is it's quite unfair to compare the views of JLo to Mariah because JLo has this another market that caters with that. I admire JLo's hard work and professionalism though.

1990 microphone (76,915) by Warrior Butterfly from USA Anyone know what kind of microphone Mariah is holding. (Thursday 6 July 2017; 03:10)

Re: Wild Thoughts (76,910) (76,914) by B from USA Guess we should all start streaming both of those songs so they keep Rhianna from getting another #1. I imagine Mariah will throw a vase at the wall or murder Stella if Rhianna ties her record. I don't think she'll break Mariah's record. She'll suffer the same fate Mariah, Katy, Britney and countless others have faced; she'll release an album that will fail to find an audience. If she's able to come back to prominence after that she'll either tie or break Mariah's record but I don't think she's got enough talent to make a comeback like Mariah did. Once EMD is no longer popular and it's been waning for some time she'll be replaced by a new younger It Girl. (Thursday 6 July 2017; 03:09)

Re: Help (76,905) (76,913) by Warrior Butterfly from USA The rise, fall and redemption of a superstar (Thursday 6 July 2017; 02:09)

Re: "I Don't" reached 19 million views, what do you think? (76,895) (76,912) by Pau from Mexico It is a big deal. She's 47 and she is famous in our market but only because she is smart. She barely speaks Spanish and sings terribly in it. JLo reaches that amount of views because her brand got renewed and refreshed in 2011. She met a new generation of party people, the streamer party people that listens to dance-pop music. Also, dueting with Pitbull was the best decision she ever made. (Wednesday 5 July 2017; 21:44)

Re: Help (76,905) (76,911) by B from USA I believe she said something similar in the Rolling Stone profile of her from late 1990 early 1991. (Wednesday 5 July 2017; 21:21)

Wild Thoughts (76,910) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The song is gaining on Billboard, went from #4 to #3 this week. I hope "Despacito" and "I'm the one" keeps blocking the first 2 spots until WT drops. I'm not going to be able to take another Rihanna #1 while Mariah's career is down in shambles. No hate to Rihanna though but a girl can only handle so much at once. (Wednesday 5 July 2017; 21:17)

Article: Mariah Carey credit card not declined while shopping (76,909) by Matthew from USA Well, the original report said that Mariah's credit cards were declined and that she was upset with Stella as a result. Stella's google alerts for her name must have went off, because she was quick to jump in here and deny the truth of this rumor. The House stuff was only slandering Mariah herself, so no need for Stella to get involved. Now, back to working on getting her make-up business launched. Um, I mean, her and Mariah's make-up business. (Wednesday 5 July 2017; 21:10)

Re: "I Don't" reached 19 million views, what do you think? (76,895) (76,908) by 123 from USA It's actually amazing to have 19 million views with no label support. LA Reid publicly dismissed Mariah as a relic and said she would never be played on the radio and then turns around and signs JLo who is the same age and who only had less than 5 years of chart relevance before she started flipping, whose bigger hit was Mariah's concept. He not only signed her but released multiple flop singles with videos and tons of label support. Mariah went rouge, dropped a single and video out of nowhere with 0 label support and when LA saw she got some traction he quickly recommitted to her. I'm sill pissed she didn't promote the hell out of it with performances and paid for a radio deal out of her own pocket. A top ten would have been great and most reactions on her video were positive from non-fans. Everyone was surprised the song was actually good and that Mariah was still looking good nearning 50. She could have stuck it to LA with success but Stella didn't keep her booked. What late night show wouldn't book her, great performances is views. A screw up like NYE is ratings so they would have booked her. (Wednesday 5 July 2017; 20:16)

Article: Mariah Carey is in The House after all, sort of (76,907) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Gosh I'm so over this, girl bye, this is last week's news. (Wednesday 5 July 2017; 19:12)
