Big Jim (79,233) by RibbonB from USA Has anyone heard the rumor that Big Jim Wright is also out in this latest cleaning house? Bye Jim if true. (Monday 6 November 2017; 00:20)

Re: Stella's gone (79,229) (79,232) by RibbonB from USA "Has been an extended...". Typo, sorry. (Monday 6 November 2017; 00:06)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey and manager split (79,205) (79,231) by RibbonB from USA Yes, sad but true. She is paying for him to be at her beck and call and he is all too willing. He doesn't have any real skills though. I'm not even impressed with his wack dance steps. And if he has any say, he will be trying to block Anthony and any other dancers or collaborators. Let's hope after this holiday season his contract will be done. She does need to work on new music and raise her kids and hopefully he actually wants to be a professional dancer again rather than a "dumbass" call boy. Just saying. (Sunday 5 November 2017; 23:42)

Stella dumped? (79,230) by Ardis Logic from Earth Finally. Jesus help MC. Positive energy and love. (Sunday 5 November 2017; 23:22)

Re: Stella's gone (79,199) (79,229) by RibbonB from USA "Damizzerable" wrote a book anyway, so that doesn't stop much. Brianca will go for as long as he can and as long as Mimi wants to be blind. Stella has her tentacles into to MC contractually so she will keep making money off of her. But I am glad Stellar is gone. Maybe this gas been as me extended shakedown finally with diminishing returns for stelly Stella. (Sunday 5 November 2017; 23:20)

Re: Thank you Jesus (79,213) (79,228) by RibbonB from USA Yassss. She hasn't cleaned the snake out of the house yet, but hopefully she sees the light and doesn't do a Mary J. Blige. Just because people take the job, doesn't mean they should have it. (Sunday 5 November 2017; 23:14)

"I Don't Wanna Cry" (7-14-17) (79,227) by Billy from Greece Her voice is gorgeous here. (Sunday 5 November 2017; 22:44)

DVDs (79,226) by Billy from Greece I would like to express how utterly frustrated, if not infuriated, I am about the fact that after years and years of no music related dvd releases (and very few Mariah dvds in general), we now have the "joke" (to put it mildly) that is "Mariah's World" immortalized for future generations on dvd. I mean, why? I ask you, why? That thing should be buried and never see the light of day again. It is the only Mariah related project that I find indefensible. Sure, Mariah is the boss, Mariah greenlighted that, but I really put the blame on that woman (and her equally, if not more, invidious daughters) who thank God is no longer 24/7 around MC. The scenes including Mariah doing music, or her actual job, are beautiful and she looks gorgeous throughout. But what's the point of releasing a dvd of this "thing"? Anyways, I put it to rest.

Re: Creative process (79,216) (79,225) by Edouard from France Hi, your post is not uninteresting. It's called living life. She's had the opportunity to have fun, do stuff, even make mistakes. That can only inspire her. I believe her old team wasn't bringing anything new to the table, treating her like she was "a done deal". That can be very uninspiring. Your last remark wasn't necessary though. We all we be judged for the choices we are making today, if not by fans and the media, by our own kids. Mariah is doing the best she can whith what she's got. Still to this day. And she's still there. We are the lucky ones. Never forget that. (Sunday 5 November 2017; 20:02)

Re: Creative process (79,216) (79,224) by May from Denmark I think it was a mix of things. Brett introduced Stella to Mariah, she probably trusted his judgement and she also maybe felt a connection with Stella because she was also a single mother, having the kids around the 24 hours. I don't wish Stella bad, as much as I made fun of her name, but there were a fair amount of things that I found unprofessional about her management. The way she expressed to the press, she should have collab with a publicity team rather than try to manage that aspect, I recall Mariah had a new whole team when Stella entered the picture but somehow they seemed to have dissapeared and Stella took over including her daughter in the ordeal. I don't know why she dragged a tweenie now teen into a world filled with very dangerous things, people can say a lot of nasty and horrible things in the internet, including adults bashing and bullying kids. I don't know what Stella was thinking, I didn't mind most of the pictures and it was better than seeing nothing on Mariah's IG, but the pictures were badly retouched and filtered, they were out of focus, badly timed, a lot of things that shouldn't go with the Mariah Carey brand and image, it looked unpolished and amateurish. I like candid pics but with a message, not the blurry mess we got at times. Obviously this looks like it will quietly die in the news, if there were to be anything bitter it would have come out already. I think it's going to be a great end of year, clean slate for next year.

Re: Bryan Tanaka / Stella (79,210) (79,223) by Lila from United States That loser couldn't have waken Mariah up to anything because Mariah was never asleep nor blind to what was going on. Mariah was a hundred and one percent complicit in everything Stella did. Stella was not the boss. Mariah was. In fact, in the grand scheme of things Stella was the stupid one because just as I've said before, in the end she'd be the one to take the fall regardless of the part that Mariah played.

Re: Article: Mariah Carey and her manager have split (79,214) (79,222) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter *Singing to the tune of ABMB" - Baby believe me it's only a matter of time, "Taa-haa-aaye-me-oo" (so the last part is obviously dragging out the word "time" like Mariah does, clearing it out because I know Eric has a strict policy about spelling errors). (Sunday 5 November 2017; 16:46)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey and manager split (79,211) (79,221) by Licia from USA That's why Banaka Tanaka will probably be in the picture forever. He likes being a court jester and he seems to have a lot of time to do so. Before the I love Tanaka crew comes in swinging, I don't follow this man on social media so I don't know what he does when he's not with Mariah. Whatever I see and try to ignore of him comes from her social media. So don't get your panties in a bunch and start naming all the Wikipedia data you've googled on him. It's not needed. Lol.

Finally fifty (79,220) by Andrew from UK Bill, thou art asking someone who is consistently dishonest for the truth. You may just fall of the edge of that there seat. However, I think everyone should calm down a tad. That Stella is gone can only be a good thing. As a manager, she appeared lacking. However, Mariah has many faults which she needs to address and I must agree with Randy that she needs to lose the diva act and grow up for it will win her widespread plaudits and a new found respect. Her recent interview had most fans raving about her, and rightly so: it was thoughtful, considered and mature. People will look to an artist with her catalogue and success, of her calibre, to be a beacon and not a joke, and now is the time for her to prove herself. She needs to grow up and admit she's no longer "eternally 12" but "finally fifty". Ish. And celebrate that for what it is. And lo. It wasn't all bad. Stella did some good things for Mariah - she put her on the road again and the SSFT was great stuff. So let everyone wish Stella well for trying her best and not rip shit into her. Nor her daughters. If certain people cannot see the irony in calling pre-teen or teenage girls "garbage" online, then lessons in irony are definitely required. (Sunday 5 November 2017; 16:36)

Re: Bryan Tanaka / Stella (79,210) (79,219) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, I think it's possible that Stella had something to do with the robbery. Of course not herself, but maybe someone had info from her "empower family". And even if that's not the case, one thing was clear from the beginning: never trust fame hungry people. However the "dark chapter" can be closed now. How long have we waited for this? Best Christmas present. (Sunday 5 November 2017; 16:14)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey and her manager have split (79,214) (79,218) by Malcolm from Asia This is the perfect Christmas gift for all of us. It's safe to say that our Mariah is finally back. (Sunday 5 November 2017; 15:56)

The witch is finally gone (79,217) by Malcolm from Asia Mariah finally comes out of the spell after 3 years. But it's really bizarre how Mariah's look turned almost 360 degrees after Stella's departure, the glow in her face and actions just shines for this past weeks. Was it really a spell? Hahaha. (Sunday 5 November 2017; 15:49)

Creative process (79,216) by CMC from NY,NY I just had a thought. Mariah is all the sudden super human and back to Mimi to the second power status. This whirlwind of a romance with Stella and her fam was so crazy post Nick (husband) and the birth of their then toddlers. I had a thought that maybe Mariah had fun getting involved with crazy people like Stella and she might even need that as an outlet of experiencing life outside her bubble. Almost like an experiment for her to see what happens so she can have some life experience to write about. Think about it, without Stella and the fam what moments would Mimi have with anyone, let alone ideas from her life experience at this current moment in time to write about. We will see. Let’s face it, her life for the past, basically years is a bubble and hopefully just now she’s realizing it. How else can she begin to make new music that actually means something and not just fantasy experiences. (Not at all saying Stella and her fam are st all that interesting.) Ok, whatever it’s a long stretch but can we find some meaning in this cray cray Stella drunken slurry moment of a mess? It’s so sad that this is possibly what our Mariah needs to do for entertainment but that might be the reality of today’s music industry. Insane to think one day you are releasing an album like Butterfly and 20 years later we are still discussing and loving you even more MC, but discussing your downfalls and uneventful moments of the past ten years.

New manager (79,215) by Shezz from Pk Is apparently Melssa Ruderman (ex Medina assistant). She was photographed taking M around during the hand prints ceremony. I read somewhere that she also has a new stylist (obvious from last few events) so the new manager whoever he/she is has atleast started off in the right direction. I feel like doing the “joyyy joyyyy joyyyy” running around the stage bit. I’m not expecting her to pull a 2005 TEOM resurrection - I’ll even take a Memoirs era anyday over what we had the last few years. So Stella will not be bad mouthing M anytime soon because they are still partners in some ventures. (Sunday 5 November 2017; 06:44)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey and her manager have split (79,207) (79,214) by Stacey from USA With Stella not so involved anymore, things can only go up. Next step? Dump Tanaka. (Sunday 5 November 2017; 05:53)

Thank you Jesus (79,213) by Marissa from USA I just had to come back to celebrate this momentous news/occasion with you all. I heard the news and this is the holiday miracle that we all wanted. Almost 3 years of longsuffering is over. Thank you Jesus. Stella/Mariah's Stella-influenced antics made me chuck up the deuces to being a lamb because I couldn't take it anymore. It seemed like an endless downward spiral that she was never going to get out of and I couldn't watch it anymore. The people that say "if you don't like the direction Mariah's going in, leave" have a point even if their intention is usually antagonistic when they're saying it. To me, there's no reward for keeping 24/7 tabs on someone you feel is chronically frustrating you. Life is too short to keep putting yourself in situations daily that you know (caps) are pissing you off. Sometimes you've just gotta take a break and come back when the coast is clear for the sake of your own happiness. Anyway, after seeing how happy and normal she looks in her latest photos and with Stella being gone, I have hope that she can pull it together. Break out the champagne everyone. After all of the atrocities we've witnessed, we've earned this celebration. (Sunday 5 November 2017; 04:45)

Foxwoods (79,212) by SM from Citizen of the World I knew watching Mariah perform at Foxwoods last month, something was going on for the better in her life. She was so grateful and loving to everyone who came to the show. I could just see her more herself and things are looking a lot brighter in her life. If any of you have watched the "WBT" performance and the end when she blows everyone a kiss and hugs herself it was such a beautiful moment. (Sunday 5 November 2017; 01:59)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey and manager split (79,205) (79,211) by Lila from United States I think we can all forget it then because all of the "hell of a man" men are out having lives of their own. None of them would ever have or want to make time to expend an unhealthy and abnormal amount of attention on Mariah solely nor be her personal bellhop and court jester. (Sunday 5 November 2017; 01:58)

Bryan Tanaka / Stella (79,210) by SM from Citizen of the World I have seen videos where he seemed very nice with the lambs before and after shows. But his whole dancing with Mariah on all the hits tour was very lame lol. Nobody will ever know the reason Mariah and Stella parted ways but I do think a lot of it has to do with Bryan, and he probably woke Mariah up to realize what was going on with them because something was wrong with the whole picture for a long time now. I wouldn't jump to conclusions on him using Mariah or how he doesn't get paid or he should be next to go. He still seems to live his own life without Mariah all the time. Does anyone else think Stella had something to do with the break in at Mariah's house? Stealing handbags and sunglasses? (Sunday 5 November 2017; 01:47)

Re: "Mariah Carey and manager split" (79,183) (79,209) by Bill from the UK "Mariah returned to form." So you finally admit then, after three years of delusional posts about how Mariah never set a foot wrong, that her time under Stella's management was a complete and utter mess?
