Re: Article: Mariah Carey is reportedly flirting with Drake (76,360) (76,361) by Matty from Vancouver Canada I'm all for a Drake/Mimi collaboration. (Friday 16 June 2017; 21:25)

Article: Mariah Carey is reportedly flirting with Drake (76,360) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter While this article screams "fake news", I'm totally down for this. For once, Mariah will date an A-lister in years haha, bye Tanaka. Also get that 19th #1 mama, no harm in getting a little help from Drake's Midas' touch. I mean Mariah has given many artists their first #1, so why not? (Friday 16 June 2017; 17:51)

Re: Skydiving (76,358) (76,359) by B from USA I've only heard a very poor quality version of it and read the lyrics. Maybe if I heard the finished version it would change my mind. (Friday 16 June 2017; 17:21)

Re: Skydiving (76,339) (76,358) by Terna from Nigeria And that's just your own opinion. I still stick by my original post that "Skydiving" is Mariah at her story telling best. You have to read between the lines on that song. Its story isn't direct like say "Betcha gon know" or "The Roof" from Butterfly. And mind you the version we've heard of "Skydiving" is a very rough one take, almost demo-like. There easily could've been a bridge and a third verse. (Friday 16 June 2017; 16:49)

Re: Who would you pick (76,354) (76,357) by B from USA Eric, his original message is the following: The world is a darker place with people like you in it. You're a bomb short of a campaign, you nut job. Did it say anything about me disses other artist? No, it's him being a hateful queen. We just lost a member of the board to a nut job on a campaign with a bomb. (Friday 16 June 2017; 15:08)

Re: Who would you pick (76,354) (76,356) by B from USA Fair enough. But for him to use the word bomb and best believe it was intentional was a new low. (Friday 16 June 2017; 15:01)

Re: Who would you pick (76,353) (76,355) by B from USA Correction distasteful. (Friday 16 June 2017; 14:36)

Re: Who would you pick (76,353) (76,354) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands I hate to say it, but this time I have to agree with Andrew. I don't understand why you keep bringing other artists down, just to make Mariah look good. (Friday 16 June 2017; 14:19)

Re: Who would you pick (76,345) (76,353) by B from USA You're a bomb short of a campaign, you nut job. Really? I've avoided you and will continue to do so but you've kept trying to bait me. I only replied because of your choice to use the word bomb. Which is tasteful but coming from you I should have expected it. (Friday 16 June 2017; 14:01)

Re: Who would you pick (76,351) (76,352) by Licia from USA They can't keep her at any lower level if she doesn't want to be there. We can blame Stella all we want, but ultimately a lot of these decisions are made with Mariah's approval. They aren't making her do anything. She's going right along with it. (Friday 16 June 2017; 12:59)

Re: Who would you pick (76,343) (76,351) by MusicfanJ from Germany Amen B. I wish someone would tell her your comment. "They're keeping you low so you're on their level and they can be your equals when they never were or will be." So true. (Friday 16 June 2017; 11:14)

Re: Who would you pick (76,324) (76,350) by 123 from USA Thanks for bringing her up, I will def look her up. If you have any go to songs I should hear let me know. I love discovering new music. I love most genres and my only requirement is that the music is good. I always admired Mariah for keeping her love life private, sans her marriage to Nick which was understandable to a limit, but I kind of blame it on Medina for trying to market her like JLo making it all about her love life. But with Mariah, people don't care who she dates, they care about the music. Funny you mentioned Sade when describing Kate because her name immedidately came to mind. Still obsessed with Moon and The Sky from her last album. I love Stevie Nicks. I'm obsessed with Stevie's Beauty and the Beast. These are the type of songs that pull at her heartstrings and resonate in your soul. Your quote is the reason for the current status of her public persona. "Nowadays pop music is more about the persona than the artistry. Most singers these days are unoriginal attention whores seemingly lacking any discernable talent. Mariah is very talented." She's adopting the current pop star model full tilt moving of LA and setting up a relationship with TMZ to make sure she is photographed and filled several times a week during various things which gives her milleage in the gossip rags. These days, you have to constantly keep yourself in the public eye because if you take a break you're a has been a year later. I get why she is doing it but can we get an era where she is actually going to promote full force again with high profile interviews, great tv performances of new music on every show, and a radio deal. She never skimps on the quality the songs on her albums, but she has to promote and have the song and video radio asap witha radio deal for the single. If it's a sure fire hit it will gain more spins after the deal especially whith great performances at least once a week. Great post. (Friday 16 June 2017; 07:04)

Re: Forbes (76,333) (76,349) by 123 from USA Showbiz Tonight claimed they knew for sure Mariah pulled 18 mil to Aretha when she threw her hat in to be a judge. Interviewer: And she's going to be making 18 million for 1 year. Aretha: You think so. Interviewer: We know so. Aretha: Do you know that, how do you know that? Interviewer: Well we have it confirmed to someone very close to her. Aretha: Ok inside sources, would that be her husband, wait he said 100 million. Interviewer: She's the highest paid judge on tv. Aretha: I would think they would have to compensate her for the lost of concerts for the year so those numbers could add up and accumulate. I love this interview from Aretha, she throws shade upon shade upon shade. Lol. I would have wished the picked Aretha instead of Nicki. (Friday 16 June 2017; 06:32)

Shipping date (76,348) by Lila from United States I'm ignoring the shipping date issue but if others want to express their disappointment then I don't see anything wrong with it. It's not as if they're complaining for nothing. They were excited at the possibility of wearing their gear at their respective pride events and have had the wind taken out of their sails with seeing the shipping date. We've all been there before: excited about something, it didn't turn out as expected, and we were left disappointed. I'm also pretty sure that, in those moments, we didn't want someone minimizing our feelings. It's great that others will be able to wear their gear in July and August but that in no way erases those who are going to miss out nor their feelings. (Friday 16 June 2017; 03:15)

The One and Usher's Confessions (76,347) by B from USA When Mariah released The Emancipation of Mimi everyone said she copied Usher's style on certain songs like Shake It Off. This is utter nonsense. Usher's Confessions is a copy of Mariah's The One. Lyrically both songs are confessional and deal with relationships. I wish Mariah had released The One. If she resung the song in full voice instead of a whisper she would made a comeback earlier. Which is exactly JD told her ass to do. Sang. However, at the time she was resting her voice and working with a vocal coach and specialist. (Friday 16 June 2017; 01:58)

Re: Mariah Pride (76,332) (76,344) by Matty from Vancouver Canada Yes, it would have been nice to have the pride collection release in June during Pride Month (which commemorates the June 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York City). However I don't believe we should start troll Mariah's team for their chosen shipping date of July 3rd. Let's keep things in the positive. There are still many many Prides marches and celebrations that occur around the western world in months of July and August: Canada: Calgary, AB Vancouver, B.C Victoria, B.C. Kelowna, B.C Lethbridge, AB Halifax, N.S Montreal, QC Ottawa, ON United Kingdom: Bourne, UK Brighton, UK Bristol, UK Cornwall, UK Cymru, UK Doncaster, UK Hull, England Glasgow, UK Kent, UK Leeds, UK Liverpool, UK London, UK Manchester, UK Newcastle, UK Nottinghamshire, UK Norwich, UK Sheffield, UK Swindon, UK Wakefield, UK Walsall, UK Warwickshire, UK Belfast, Northern Ire.

Re: Who would you pick (76,324) (76,343) by B from USA She needs to keep her personal life private. She doesn't need to do reality shows or talk about her relationships. Mariah get it together. We've had two years of Stella and Companies messiness tarnishing your brand and name. Yes, you're a legend and they can't take that away from you but your employees are killing your chances at a comeback. They're keeping you low so you're on their level and they can be your equals when they never were or will be. (Friday 16 June 2017; 00:31)

Re: Pride collection: fan reactions (76,336) (76,342) by Licia from USA I agree that pride is everyday, but these items are being marketed for a certain time and event. I don't think it's unreasonable for people to want these pride items that they purchased to be delivered in timely manner so that they can wear them during the festivities. People aren't just being a**holes about it or complaining to attack Mariah. (Friday 16 June 2017; 00:20)

Re: Who would you pick (76,325) (76,341) by B from USA I think it, whatever it was, occurred sometime between her accident in 2013 and 2014. The divorce destroyed her confidence. (Friday 16 June 2017; 00:20)

Mimi Pride (76,340) by CMC from NY,NY This feels like such a cheap last minute, poorly orchestrated scheme from Stella to profit off of gay pride month. With the obvious problem being clothing ships out July 3rd. Are you kidding? I almost ordered a tank until I saw shipping date, which I'm sure 80% of consumers will do the same. Can totally hear Stella mid June, "Mariah let's use your 18 year old photos from Rainbow for gay pride merchandise, who cares if it's 2017 and anyone can take those old images and put on a tshirt themselves." I mean really? It's like zero thought is put into these things so lazy. How silly to think it was possibly new music or actual new photos. Lol. (Friday 16 June 2017; 00:12)

Re: Skydiving (76,330) (76,339) by B from USA Skydiving or Memoirs isn't Mariah at her storytelling best. I'd suggest Petals or Close My Eyes. Of the Memoirs album her best storytelling song is Betcha Gon' Know. (Thursday 15 June 2017; 23:32)

Re: Mariah Pride (76,332) (76,338) by B from USA Your message reminded me that I need Mariah's Rainbow and Glitter albums to complete my collection. Someone stole both. Hard to believe out of every album of Mariah's they chose those two. Different strokes for different folks. (Thursday 15 June 2017; 23:26)

Re: Who would you pick (76,322) (76,337) by B from USA Katy is now a has been so is Rhianna. Katy's album and its singles are flopping. Rhianna only scored one #1 off of her last album after releasing a string of singles that were deemed failures because chart wise if it's not a #1 it's a flop (how she managed to amass all those #1's is obvious but I digress). Bey doesn't make much impact on the Hot 100 except for the first few weeks of her album release and hasn't had a #1 in year. None of them have sold anywhere near what Mariah was selling at the same stages in her career. Besides Rhianna and Bey's sales figures are bought. Rhi's by a cellar company and Bey's and husbands streaming service. Most of their figures are album equivalents. Adele is the only artist that is on Mariah's level and she only scored one #1 single and her latest album although huge it wasn't bigger than her previous album. Will she be able to do it again is the real question. Hello carried that album. I thought When We Were Young was going to be another #1 but it stalled in the 20's. Let me clarify Rhianna and Beyonce aren't irrelevant culturally but they're no longer relevant musically. Unless you're a member of the Navy or Beehive. I used to love both but I don't hookless songs without melodies. Beyonce's 7/11 was the only song I've liked Beyonce's since Halo. I forgot about Taylor Swift she's second only to Adele and she racked up a few #1's and has won the Album of Year Grammy twice. Rhianna most sets trends these days (most are just mixing today's looks with looks from the 90's and having an IDGAF attitude). (Thursday 15 June 2017; 22:52)
