"Mariah Carey and Friends" (78,690) by MC1989 from Spain If Mariah and Stella are still going to milk MC's back catalogue, at least bring something interesting to the fans. What about releasing a double album called "Mariah Carey and friends" featuring her best duets and collabos from 1990 until now? With a complete booklet a la "#1To Infinity" and Mariah sharing her memories. Mariah could organise a big party in Las Vegas for its release, with champagne everywhere lol and invite Patti LaBelle, Da Brat, JD, Bieber, Celine Dion, Beyonce and Jay Z, Britney Spears... and the press will cover the event, and it would show the world Mariah is still respected by some.

Re: Mariah Carey = Taylor Swift (78,680) (78,689) by B from USA Taylor is the closest thing this generation has to Mariah. She can't sing but she knows how to write catchy infectious songs like Mariah used to. I honestly believe if Mariah wanted to she could write a hit but she just doesn't care anymore. However, I think shell make a comeback before she retires. (Sunday 8 October 2017; 22:25)

Re: I Don't (78,678) (78,688) by B from USA I also still like I Don't. (Sunday 8 October 2017; 22:21)

Always Be My Dreamlover (78,687) by Anonymous from UK Not sure if it's been posted before but just stumbled upon this. ABMB is sacred to me, but this is actually quite cute. (Sunday 8 October 2017; 19:03)

Re: Just sayin' (78,679) (78,686) by Licia from USA I hope your brother is better. (Sunday 8 October 2017; 18:28)

Re: Beauty line/projects/tours (78,683) (78,685) by Licia from USA They crazy thing is some people act like saying she's doing these things for money is a bad thing. It's not necessarily a bad thing to me anyway. She has a lifestyle she wants to keep and she's got children to take care of. The music business isn't bringing in the money like it used to despite her being so popular during Christmas. Even though I don't enjoy the side gigs, I respect her hustle. With the exception of the acting, creativity plays no part in a lot of these side projects whatsoever. These are just quick and easy ways to earn money. That's it. How creative do you have to be to promote a doggy daycare? Lol. (Sunday 8 October 2017; 18:28)

The Velvet Rope turns 20 (78,684) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines I'm probably gonna take some crap for this but if there is any album in 1997 that could rival Butterfly, it would be The Velvet Rope. Also Janet's magnum opus, it was just as introspective, and even more painful and experimentally diverse. Like Butterfly, it also aged the best among all of Janet's albums. I just love the fact that two of my favorite 90s albums from my two favorite female artists were released just weeks apart and coincidentally share the same soul-baring theme and effortlessly sensuous vibe. And of course, TVR contains both Together Again and the masterpiece I Get Lonely amongst a collection of other really strong tracks, such as Rope Burn, Go Deep, My Need, the title track and a gender-flipping cover of Tonight's The Night. Sadness has never sounded this good. Happy 20th, TVR. (Sunday 8 October 2017; 16:36)

Re: Beauty line/projects/tours (78,670) (78,683) by Lila from United States I second that eye roll. I'll believe that it's not about money when a snowball remains solid in hell. If it were all about creativity then she wouldn't be selling us a product. She'd be giving it away for free. Not that there is any creativity to be seen, anyway. I don't consider slapping a pink label on a vodka bottle or selling pink over sugared water as creative. I also don't see how anyone could think that Mariah is making major money off any of these projects. It's not like, for instance, that pink sugar water turned into the next Gatorade. She comes up with these projects, has an anti-climatic release for them, and then you never hear about them again. The only ventures she could've possibly made a good deal of money off of were Elizabeth Arden and MAC Cosmetics, most of that success is due greatly to those respective companies, and they definitely took the bigger slices of the pie as they own the products. Mariah only licenses out her name. The MAC collaboration was a one time thing and just last year, I read an article where a representative of Elizabeth Arden stated that their celebrity perfume sales were down.

Speaking of Migrate (78,682) by RibbonB from USA Please check YouTube for the "Haunting of T. Pain". I just stumbled upon a tv show episode on paranormal activity in his home. Dude needs to migrate if he thinks his house is haunted. He is a weird and troubled dude based on the things he revealed on that show. (Sunday 8 October 2017; 02:28)

Re: Just sayin' (78,679) (78,681) by Norman from USA Andrew, I hope you're brother is better soon; thankful he's home. Spending a day like that is scary and taxing on everyone. (Sunday 8 October 2017; 02:21)

Mariah Carey = Taylor Swift (78,680) by Randy from USA So I was listening to random MC today. And it occurred to me that for all the flack Taylor Swift gets about writing about exes, MC is the queen of that. She’s written a full anthology for Tommy. Clown for Em. Infinity for Nick, which by the way that line "everything you own you still owe" is mean. I Don’t for James. So my question is what songs do you all think were written with Derek Jeter or Luis Miguel in mind. And wasn’t she dating that executive Mark Sudek at one point? Is that who Becha Gon Know about? (Sunday 8 October 2017; 02:16)

Just sayin' (78,679) by Andrew from UK Just spent the day with paramedics in an ambulance and hospital with and for my brother, to come home and listen to Mariah, namely Petals and Close My Eyes (Orange Clouds). That's why I don't give up on her. That's who she is to me. The vocal and musical comfort to my soul. No matter how I approach it or the piss I may take. I think maybe now Mariah, when she is the true Mariah that I grew to know, is the infamous (infuhmuzz) guardian angel. I wish you all happy times, happy holidays, and, if we have or have not spoken, if we will meet or will never meet, a long and happy life. (Sunday 8 October 2017; 01:09)

I Don't (78,678) by Anonymous from Guys, can't help it, still like this track. Just heard it in the club, very sexy. Video is still stink but it's a tune. (Sunday 8 October 2017; 00:05)

Re: Touring (78,662) (78,677) by B from USA I think you'd be surprised. (Saturday 7 October 2017; 19:57)

Re: Mariah's Christmas (78,669) (78,676) by Hilton from USA You hit the nail right in the head. The people in this board, sometimes, are really unreasonable and expect her to be on her A game all the time, for every situation. That's unreasonable. No one on this board is perfect, yet people still insist on expecting perfection from another human being. Get a life, seriously. (Saturday 7 October 2017; 13:01)

Re: AIWFC at Chicago Theatre 11/18 (78,672) (78,675) by Adam from Usa I'll be there. (Saturday 7 October 2017; 04:12)

Re: Stripped version of Underneath the Stars (78,673) (78,674) by Licia from USA This is a nice one. Thanks for sharing. I love that this person is making me enjoy songs that I either didn't really like or I haven't listened to in years. (Saturday 7 October 2017; 01:24)

Stripped version of Underneath the Stars (78,673) by Lee from UK I have fallen in love all over again with this song. The background whistle notes throughout the end are a lot more prominent and crystal clear. The guy who does this is amazing, I'd love to know where he sources the isolated vocals from. (Saturday 7 October 2017; 00:35)

AIWFC at Chicago Theatre 11/18 (78,672) by Chicago Lamb from USA Just got killer seats for the All I want for Christmas show in Chicago at Chicago Theatre for a friend and I. Who is with me? I'm excited to hear Mariah sing her Christmas classics. (Saturday 7 October 2017; 00:25)

Re: Mariah's Christmas (78,669) (78,671) by Andrew from UK Feisty one, you are. Strong with you, the Stella is. (Friday 6 October 2017; 23:31)

Re: Beauty line/projects/tours (78,667) (78,670) by Licia from USA It's all about the money. Lol. (Friday 6 October 2017; 23:26)

Mariah's Christmas (78,669) by Nikki from usa You guys should do some research on what "breaking news" means. Mariah had a scheduled interview to talk about her upcoming Christmas projects. This was all about holiday cheer. The fact this guy didn't do any of that, but just informed her of breaking news she has no idea about, doesn't have the details to, and this isn't her jurisdiction, is uncalled for. Her job is sing. She doesn't need to keep up on tragedies or speak on them if she doesn't want to. That's her choice. She should've never been put on the spot like that. It wasn't the purpose of her segment and its original purpose never happened. She was smiling and her face fell. She didn't know if she was on the opposite end of a twisted joke or if he was telling her the truth. She had no idea what was going on. I'd bet anything the self righteousness here would be out the window if someone shoved a camera in your face, put you on the spot unawares, and had everyone criticize every idiosyncratic moment you did. It doesn't matter that she's a celebrity who's used to talking about her music projects. She's not improv or someone who makes speeches. No amount of spotlight is going to prepare you for that situation unless you're a professional news anchor. (Friday 6 October 2017; 20:17)

Re: Mariah/Celine/Whitney: No nom for Hall of Fame (78,666) (78,668) by CDC from CA I believe it can happen for Mariah Whitney and Janet, but Celine - not much hope there. Just not enough credibility in that community. Even though I never gave the RRHOF much clout and believe its losing relevance as time goes on, it would be nice for some of Mariah's famous items to be exhibited in a museum, like her Merry Christmas jumpsuit and the spray painted Rainbow album cover tank and bottoms. The issue is that there really isn't much of a precedent for Mariah's induction. Other than the poor Donna Summer, to whom they dangled the prospect of induction right above her nose for years and then finally did it the year after she died. So tacky. And just looking at previous nominations lists, the RRHOF reserve only one spot on the ballot for a solo female act. So if they let Janet and Whitney in first, then Mariah's chances should look good and it might be more palatable to some of those angry rock purists who would prefer that more one-note/one-hit-wonder conventional rock bands be acknowledged for half the accomplishments of a Mariah-type. But who knows how long that will take, so let's let Cher, Patti LaBelle, Dolly Parton, Chaka Khan and other pre-Reagan era women, who've waited even longer, have their moment first. Now if that forever rumoured Hip Hop Hall of Fame can get off its feet, then I would join a voracious online campaign to help get Mariah noticed. (Friday 6 October 2017; 19:59)

Beauty line/projects/tours (78,667) by Nikki from usa I do believe it was just gossip that she and Stella were looking for a place to open together. A few months after that story we found out MC was overseas and helped create a new cosmetics line for Dead Sea Cosmetics for the Israeli consumer base. She did a bunch of promo and ads over there for the line. I hate to break it to all the "she's overweight, so she has major health issues, and must be on anti psychotics because she can't walk in sky high heels" crowd, but with the music market sucking and uncertainties with her label, touring is a natural avenue to take. Yes, it's a bit much and she should slow down, but Mariah's been like this since day 1. This isn't a new development. How she used to do albums is how she's doing touring. Mariah's projects aren't businesses she's starting. She always collabs with other major businesses. It's no different than when she teamed up with Elizabeth Arden for her perfume lines. These don't cost her money. She makes major money off of them. It's not about steady income, it's about trying new things and being creative when she can't make music. She makes a celebrity line and it sells. She could put someone in place to keep the line continuing, but she doesn't need to. The candy place is well known for its cotton candy flavors. MC worked with them to create new flavors and is selling them. She didn't start a candy company. (Friday 6 October 2017; 19:48)

Mariah/Celine/Whitney: No nom for Hall of Fame (78,666) by Sheila from United States Wow, maybe next year the lambs can get involved like Janet's fans did. (Friday 6 October 2017; 12:04)
