Memoirs (78,521) by Billy from Greece You know years have really gone by in no time when you feel nostalgic about "Memoirs". Without realizing it is its eight year anniversary today, I've started playing the album this morning. It really is the album for the fall. "Betcha Gon' Know" is such a masterpiece, as is "HATEU". So strange that "Memoirs" feels somehow "old" at this point. (Monday 25 September 2017; 10:01)

Beacon (78,520) by Mara from United States So do we think she will add a few Beacon dates this December? It doesn't seem possible unless she goes for the beginning of December before Vegas and the other shows. I know some of the articles mentioned NYC, but that could just be because of the previous years. I wish she would confirm it either way if she indeed knows either way by now. It's something she has done since the start of these shows and she made it seem like it was an annual thing "at the Beacon". The last few years tickets went on sale later in October. Anyone have any "inside info"? (Monday 25 September 2017; 02:58)

Re: Christmas tickets (78,504) (78,519) by Anthony Carey from U.K Hey Lamb. Yes I got my Manchester ticket last week. Something Mariah related that has actually not been delayed or arrived late lol. I too feel excited to see her perform Christmas in UK and then I fly to Las Vegas the following day to see her at Caesars. (Sunday 24 September 2017; 23:51)

Re: EMC stripped versions of MC songs (78,513) (78,518) by Licia from USA Whomever or whatever the EMC is I think I love them and I want more. Lol I hadn't seen this ABMB one. Thanks for sharing. (Sunday 24 September 2017; 22:07)

Re: Mariah's dress (78,517) by Nicole from US I am thinking what most of you are thinking but what if the weight and dress choices are part of a publicity. And then all of a sudden she loses the weight and goes back slaying. But I may just be reaching for the stars but I am just being optimistic. Lol. (Sunday 24 September 2017; 21:40)

Article: Mariah's dress is held together by crystal-covered snaps (78,516) by Robin Elkins from United States Either she needs a new stylest or she needs to start dressing her age. (Sunday 24 September 2017; 18:13)

Re: EMC stripped versions of MC songs (78,513) (78,515) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines I believe EMC stands for the name of the posting YouTube channel, EtrevistandoMC. (Sunday 24 September 2017; 17:21)

Re: EMC stripped versions of MC songs (78,513) (78,514) by Bill from the UK You beat me to it (exclamation mark). There are also very pleasant stripped versions of AYNAF and I Still Believe. The acapella of AYNAF is on that great Mariah's Vocals channel for any of y'all interested. It goes all the way out to the extended ending. I would love to hear the acapellas for Vision of Love, Can't Let Go and Without You. (Sunday 24 September 2017; 16:10)

EMC stripped versions of MC songs (78,513) by Lee from UK I have come across a few videos like this on YouTube. They are EMC stripped versions of Mariah's studio recordings. I do not know what EMC stands for, perhaps someone can enlighten me? This particular video contains the ending of Always Be My Baby that Mariah used during the Daydream tour. It makes for amazing listening on a Sunday afternoon. Enjoy. (Sunday 24 September 2017; 14:54)

Re: Mamariah (78,470) (78,512) by May from Denmark Well sweet Tracey that's the problem, Mariah doesn't care, she doesn't care about anything anymore. She just goes on stage, gets her check and goes back to her Dom Peri in Mimiland with all the human-hangers she calls friends but we know they are paypals. She needs to care again. I don't buy the "fragile" bs image, she is insecure yes, but she could go through a lot of things on her own. Somewhere along her career she has created this dependency to others, the woman who wanted to be free as a butterfly, she seems agoraphobic at times, never on her own. It's called growing up, she isn't really 12. I love her but her shows have been going downhills. (Sunday 24 September 2017; 12:52)

Re: VH1 (78,490) (78,511) by May from Denmark Yes, Bryan is a hanger, good grief, they mutually use each other's arms, she; the Bryan-hanger, he; the human cane. This is so ridiculous already. The clan of witches are nowhere to be seen at least. Supposedly Stella fired Anthony, could possible be because he was starting to show more manager material than she is? No wonder why Bryhanger continues to be around, he does nothing but play the fiddle. He just wants his 15 minutes and money. (Sunday 24 September 2017; 12:24)

Article: Mariah's dress is held together by crystal-covered snaps (78,510) by Gemma from Australia For the love of everything that is holy Mariah, please stop dressing like a common street whore. It's starting to get sad now. (Sunday 24 September 2017; 09:50)

Article: Mariah embarrassed men, forgetting to button the shorts (78,509) by Gemma from Australia Was it intentional for the story to be so badly written? (Sunday 24 September 2017; 09:43)

Article: Mariah's dress is held together by crystal-covered snaps (78,508) by 90sMariah from SG Lol at her using people as walking crutches. If you can't walk in them, you most definitely shouldn't wear them. This is why people think she's constantly drunk/medicated. (Sunday 24 September 2017; 07:29)

Mariah's legs look fantastic (78,507) by Nikki from usa Just saying. (Sunday 24 September 2017; 05:26)

Re: Scared for life (78,502) (78,506) by T from USA She can take the ball and place it in her own court if she just lost weight. (Sunday 24 September 2017; 03:51)

Re: Scared for life (78,502) (78,505) by B from USA She was so nervous it was painfully obvious. I was hoping that she would relax and loosen up when Ma$e came out like she did on Jimmy Kimmel when YG came back onstage but she didn't. (Saturday 23 September 2017; 21:38)

Christmas tickets (78,504) by John john from UK Anyone else get there tickets today? So pleased the Christmas show is coming to the UK. (Saturday 23 September 2017; 17:37)

Re: Shyness vs present day (78,501) (78,503) by Hilton from USA This was so well put and thoughtful. Thank you for that. Some people do actually have a heart and can still critique without being rude and offensive. (Friday 22 September 2017; 19:09)

Scared for life (78,502) by Tyler from USA I really think the tree lighting and NYE performances have ruined her chances to feel comfortable on TV. She is super insecure and I can only imagine the toll those two events did to her confidence. She looked so nervous at the VH1 Hip Hop awards and I wanted to just give her the biggest hug. She literally has the world critiquing every little thing she does. Not just causal viewers but even fans are sitting her waiting for her to mess up to throw it in her face. Can you imagine having all that pressure plus recently being ridiculed by the world over NYE and a recent YouTube dance video? Yes, she could've moved more but I think those passed experience have ruined her ability to take chances and break out on tv and even live. I honestly think she didn't move because she was so nervous to mess up. If she started dancing and was off beat people would run with that. She can't win and it's very sad. She is to blame but I really think the generally public does not want to see her succeed and she knows that. I can not imagine having all that negative weight and going on stage with confident.

Shyness vs present day (78,501) by Jamie from UK I've been watching old Mariah live performances. I know she's not 20 anymore but some of her early performances even upto 2008 she still had stage presence. Her early years wear always dogged with shyness but looking back now she was as confident as ever. Her voice was impeccable and she new that, and although she was shy on stage her voice shone through. She had that quirkiness that gave her that edge. I would love present day Mariah to learn from her early performances and just let go and not be so caught up in how she looks. Be the person everyone fell in love with again, be humble and grateful for what you have. I know people change and evolve over the years but it's important to stay grounded to who you are and where you came from. Surely there must be that part of Mariah still alive, that person who took your breath away, and who could command the stage. Mariah if you're reading this, I get you've changed and I've embraced it, but take control of your emotions again, command that stage again. Don't be afraid to stand out there and shine again. The young girl who touched our hearts is still there, just don't get caught up in all the hype, ground yourself and deliver the Mariah we love. (Friday 22 September 2017; 03:57)

Re: VH1 (78,498) (78,500) by RibbonB from USA Mariah's whole routine is so corny now. Bless her heart. (Friday 22 September 2017; 02:25)

Is it time? (78,499) by Edward from USA I was reading some of the comments here and the logic behind them. Some very well thought out comments state that since Mariah is nearly 50 she should get "I don't want to move my ass two steps because I'm drunk" pass. According to that logic Madonna should be drag on wheelchair on stage then since she's nearly 60. Mariah is a millionaire, if she has decided to be stiff and not give two f's about performing, I think it is time for her to invest in her very own decorated hovearound. Yes, she needs an electric chair she could move around on stage saying two and a half darhlings here and there, since she's too old, two complete utterances of the word dahling might be taxing on her joints and vocal chords. I think Mariah should produce and write for other people, her career has turned into a joke. I remember when being her fan was something to be proud of. I'm a fan, but I don't dare saying it in public. Those days of being a proud fan are long gone. (Friday 22 September 2017; 00:05)

Re: VH1 (78,497) (78,498) by Lila from United States I'll take the five dancers over that embarrassing, awkward, and plain stupid twirl. (Friday 22 September 2017; 00:04)

Re: VH1 (78,490) (78,497) by RibbonB from USA Lol he did his job of being a mucker upper very well on NYE. It was hilarious to see him smiling and doing his wack dance steps while Mimi flopped and fizzled right in front of our eyes. He slithered his way in by being a sycophant. At least now we no longer have five men hefting her up by holding her butt, or even on that couch anymore. Now there is just him hefting up her whole thigh for the epic diva twirl.
