Re: New Stella quotes about Tommy (71,172) (71,185) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines I'd like to think that Stella must have picked up the word "unbridled" from listening to Butterfly, but then again I have to remind myself that the extent of her knowledge of Mariah's music career may just be limited to the fact that Mariah is a singing legend. That's just about it. (Thursday 12 January 2017; 5:11)

Re: Why [...] mad? (71,158) (71,184) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines I'm not letting negativity thrive. The webmaster has been generous enough to let everyone's opinion be heard, even the ones most would consider nasty. So stating that isn't an answer to me, but is rather a message to the moderator of this board. Is he letting negativity thrive, then? Even if you see posts from the most polarizing and outspoken "critical" ones here, Andrew - you know that deep inside he still does have this level of respect you're talking about, if you really look hard enough. They have butt heads with Eric several times in the past but then you still see his posts out here. It's all in the name of fairness. We're all Mariah fans after all. Now if you deem those points of view as hate messages under the guise of being "strong opinions", then you're free to believe so. If you feel those don't have a place on a Mariah fan board, then you're also entitled to do so. If you think that this is just "tolerance for negativity" tagged as "fairness / respect of freedom", then so be it. But ultimately, whether those messages get posted or not is up to the webmaster who has been nothing but fair to all of us. I believe it has been fully established by now that this isn't some sanctuary for Mariah fans where they can be shielded from all sorts of perceived negativity. Like someone else has stated here before, if anyone doesn't like how things are done here, then they can always start a board of their own, full of rainbows and butterflies. Just don't come out here constantly wondering why there are so many negative comments because all you're ever gonna get is a reaction in the lines of, "Ooh, someone's new to the internet."

Article: Mel B wonders if Mariah "doesn't have that voice" (71,183) by Andrew from Australia Mel B did mention something valid though. MC planned to lip sync the high notes of Emotions - it was on the playback while she was talking on stage. It makes you wonder how many times she had done this with the high notes in the past. Did her fiercely loyal manager explain why this was the case? (Thursday 12 January 2017; 4:33)

Re: The Weeknd and Selena Gomez? (71,178) (71,182) by RibbonB from USA IDK, the Weeknd, is meh, IMO. But if they could come up with a good product, then cool. Mariah working with Raphael Saadiq could be cool. She needs something a little bit experimental if not just straight up R&B. I just hope whatever she does, there is no trendy phrases, shade or general pettiness. Good thoughtful lyrics are essential. (Thursday 12 January 2017; 3:48)

Re: Camouflage or Close My Eyes (71,151) (71,181) by Ty from USA Damn this is a hard one. (Thursday 12 January 2017; 2:50)

What's gonna bring in the ratings? (71,180) by JAXGH from United States "I wanted it to be more serious, and yet they chose to go another direction which felt very reality TV and that's not my bag." Where is this Mariah? I can't believe Stella somehow managed to lure her into doing this "docu" series. What a shame. Mollie's mess, Tanaka being injured (we never saw happen) the other dancer being injured (we never saw happen) the fight between Anthony and Mary Ann, the nanny "not bringing" her passport (we never saw happen), Stella and the hairstylist feud, are all sensationalized bullsh*t. Everything about the show is staged. They are all cool with each other in real life. All of them knew they had to act once they signed the contracts. I was cringing when Anthony said "for some reason, Mariah and I's chemistry is off tonight". Lmao how much faker can you be. His line delivery is atrocious. To be honest, knowing that this was all a set up, you can kind of judge who's a good actor. Mary Ann's good, Stella's good, Mollie is bad, Anthony is horrible. This show didn't prove anything. It was just a roll of stupid drama that never mattered and didn't help to show Mariah's credibility as "the hardest working woman" in Hollywood. It's just a series of unknown attention whores (Stella, Tanaka, Mollie, Kristofer) wanting more fame. Mariah did them a favor but Mariah's brand just cheapened when this nonsense show happened. You can't expect people to see you as a great talent when you do a reality show and pretend it's not a reality show. Mariah is not discerning her reality at all. I just want this series to be over and Mariah do something more helpful to career. Her name is synonymous to "lip sync" now. It's so sad. (Thursday 12 January 2017; 2:47)

Re: Why [...] mad? (71,177) (71,179) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter See these people who say these eventually don't stay around for long either. I mean there is only so many times you can come here and only have "you are a hater" as your only argument. Then there are the other locos who will make multiple accounts to have a conversation with themselves all the while blaming others of faking multiple accounts. Also the level of their maturity shows when they say they wish Mariah keeps Stella just because it pisses some people off, it's like it doesn't matter to them that Stella is dragging Mariah's image through the mud, but nope let's just keep her because she provokes the "haters". As for Stella's latest comments, as hard as it for me to believe that Mariah is allowing such foul mouthed rants when all her life she has always been subtle with her clap backs and never resorted to cursing, I have to unfortunately accept this is the new Mariah now. The rate at which Stella is going, I won't be surprised if pretty soon she'll claim to the press she resurrected Mariah's career or heck she "made" Mariah Carey who she is, all the while whispering "you're the best, you're a superstar, you're beautiful" in Mariah's ears. Her hot head is however going to make her self destruct eventually. Hope it's sooner than later so we can move on from this parasite family. (Thursday 12 January 2017; 2:17)

Re: The Weeknd and Selena Gomez? (71,173) (71,178) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter If Mariah doesn't collaborate with The Weeknd, I will have a meltdown of "Glitter" proportions. I'll have a meltdown like Stella too. Foul mouthed rants and all. (Thursday 12 January 2017; 0:57)

Re: Why [...] mad? (71,165) (71,177) by Edward from USA Marissa, that has been my point exactly. If you don't like a messageboard where people express opinions that make you slowly boil yourself slowing in water to death by reading them, it is insane to stay around (all caps). As simple as that. I'm not telling anybody to go away, I've always said that the beauty of this board is the rainbow of opinions with different and sometimes extreme insights. It's like reading the posts of a person whose opinions you despise, why torturing yourself by doing so? We all have different opinions, and many of us have disagreed on specific subjects here and there, but for me it hasn't ever been personal. You said something very, very important, and it's the context in which these opinions are being conveyed. I don't understand how people don't see that Stella is toxic to Mariah. She's not only her manager, but now she's her publicist. The woman can't seem to have a switch to turn her foul mouth off. I'm pretty sure that if Mariah were to start saying crazy things on a mike, Stella wouldn't ever take the mike off her hand like Cindi Berger did back then, and that worries me. That's the difference between somebody who's professional and knows what she's doing, and somebody with a thug attitude pretending to be an Alpha female, whatever that means, who doesn't know the repercussions that her loud comments could have for her client. But oh well, there's saying in Spanish that reads: "El que por su gusto muere, que la muerte le sepa gloria." "He who by his own pleasures dies, may death taste like glory to him." She loves Stella that much, she should deal with the consequences of her actions not with tears and stress, but with joy and enthusiasm. (Thursday 12 January 2017; 0:56)

Re: Kelly Price (71,170) (71,176) by Joe from United Kingdom I don't think there's much chance of this happening. I think Kelly made an issue about a deterioration in MC's voice a few years ago. We know when Mariah cuts you off, there's no coming back. (Thursday 12 January 2017; 0:42)

Suing FEC (71,175) by Licia from USA As another poster asked on this subject (sorry I forgot who asked) why did team Mariah wait until a day or two before the concerts were to start to pull out? Seems like they had a plan for payment and it was to be paid way before and it seems like they had more than enough time to cancel. It's baffling to me as to why they waited. Now once again Mariah is in a position where her name and brand are being drug through the mud all because her team didn't do their job. (Thursday 12 January 2017; 0:35)

Re: Stella almost sent Molly home (71,128) (71,174) by RibbonB from USA I could swear I saw Molly in the last part of the MW episode that I caught. But anyway, that was such a dumb aspect of the show. (Thursday 12 January 2017; 0:28)

The Weeknd and Selena Gomez? (71,173) by RibbonB from USA What a random couple if this is true, or are they just working on new music? Hollyweird. I am ready for some real, good R&B music from someone. The ones who are getting the limelight do not represent the best there is in R&B these days. It's quite sad. Even Miguel has promise, but I don't believe he is the best. His new project with Raphael Saadiq might be promising though. Having a good musician with good technological acumen working beside you is a good thing. (Thursday 12 January 2017; 0:25)

New Stella quotes about Tommy (71,172) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter 1) "How dare he? Whose career has he managed in 15 years? He couldn't walk a day in our shoes. We work our asses off. I wear bigger heels than his b---s." 2) "Since I started working with her, Mariah has had nothing but unbridled success." (Stella look up the meaning of unbridled, while you're at it, look up the meaning of success.) 3) "Her career has not taken a hit. Everything that she has touched since I started managing her has been a huge success." Yes before you Mariah Carey was a struggling artist, trying to make her mark, you made her relevant, that's what Zarina said at least. I can't deal with how immature and unprofessional this woman is. Taking a major international music royalty and cheapening her image and then when everyone else has moved on from this NYE disaster, she stays complaining about it. How butt hurt are you about Tommy's words that you are releasing statements to multiple publications? Why is it that you only speak up when you or your kids are being attacked but never do anything to take the heat off Mariah? Selfish. (Thursday 12 January 2017; 0:19)

Beauty and the Beast (71,171) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ugh so I have been wishing ever since the new "Beauty and the Beast" live action movie was announced that Mariah would do the theme song for it. But now supposedly Ariana and John Legend will do it. Stella obviously can never book her for these high profile things. It would have been so great if Mariah and John Legend sang it. (Thursday 12 January 2017; 0:14)

Kelly Price (71,170) by Terna from Nigeria You know how Mariah works with Crystle sometimes, well I was wondering if she's considered collaborating with Kelly songwriting wise (just for old times sake). Kelly penned K. Michelle's "Not a Little bit" from last year and it's easily one of the strongest R&B records 2016 had to offer and that vocal just wow. Jazzmine Sullivan too would be a good choice too. I love her melodies, lyrical phrasing and delivery, quite unique. I would love to see what they come up with. (Wednesday 11 January 2017; 21:51)

Re: Walk of Fame (71,162) (71,169) by Leito from USA I can bet anything, it relates to MC's "I don't know her" quotes. I'm sure it was a fan of JLo, Demi, or Ariana. It's all good. MC will always be worth more and has sold more than all three combined. The real crime, cost of $1,500.00 to clean up a "?" I could've done for $1,398.50 (Wednesday 11 January 2017; 21:49)

Re: Lady Gaga Superbowl Mariah Carey (71,155) (71,168) by Blue Riding Hood from Outside The Superbowl halftimes are lipped anyway most of the times, so it wouldn't factor much. (Wednesday 11 January 2017; 21:03)

Re: Camouflage or Close My Eyes (71,151) (71,153) (71,167) by Philipp from Switzerland it's tough to say which song I like better. I like both songs, because they are very personal. I really love the live version of "Close My Eyes" at the Rosie O Donnel Show. She sings it so emotional and you can really tell how she is feeling the lyrics. Especially the bridge is amazing. The album version on the other hand is more "quiet". (Wednesday 11 January 2017; 20:38)

Jazmine Sullivan, Darryl Camper, MC collaboration (71,166) by Robert-Anthony from United States Darryl "Hey DJ" Camper just retweeted my tweet about him being in the studio with Mariah Carey and Jazmine Sullivan. It must be true. Go checkout his twitter page. No joke. I can't wait to hear their song. (Wednesday 11 January 2017; 19:52)

Re: Why [...] mad? (71,143) (71,165) by Marissa from USA What I don't understand is why people who have heard and witnessed how "negative" this board is keep coming back for more? What is the payoff if you hate almost every post here? I can understand having an issue with 1 or 2 people's harshness on here, but almost everyone? You're torturing yourself. "Positive" lambs always make it seem like Mariah just won a Grammy last night, an Oscar the day before that, and has a #1 album on the charts and we're still here complaining despite how great things are going. They never provide context to anyone's "negativity" and make it seem like everyone just woke up mad at Mariah instead of seeing it as a reaction to something specific happening in her life or career. As of now, Mariah's ability to sing is being questioned or completely rejected worldwide, many people are excited that she failed because they think she has a bad attitude anyway and needed to be humbled, they think that the DCP foiled/sabotage comments are her lying and making up excuses, people are calling her old and irrelevant, etc. This isn't exactly a sunshine and rainbows type of time, so why you're shocked by negative comments is beyond me. At some point people are going to understand that the influx of "negative" lambs is not random, but because Mariah's career has been very hit and miss for at least the past 7 years. What I find hilarious is that when the NYE debacle happened, almost all of the people who fled the board because it was too "negative" reappeared. Why? Because, negative or positive, this board represents stability for people. It's been around for decades for a reason no matter how often people shit on it, because Eric allows us to be human and express both negative and positive emotions on here.

Re: Record label wants to put out new single (71,139) (71,164) by Cgee54 from Usa Did she actually recorded with The Weeknd? I thought she said she wanted to collobarate with him but nothing happened. (Wednesday 11 January 2017; 19:17)

Re: Lady Gaga Superbowl Mariah Carey (71,155) (71,163) by Chicago Lamb from USA A surprise vocal moment from Mariah at the half time show would be epic [caps]. (Wednesday 11 January 2017; 18:28)

Re: Walk of Fame (71,146) (71,162) by MusicfanJ from Germany Isn't it strange? I wonder who did that and why? (Wednesday 11 January 2017; 18:20)

Re: Camouflage or Close My Eyes (71,156) (71,161) by MusicfanJ from Germany Close My Eyes. I love this song so much (from the first time I heard in 97). This song has everything, it's pure and the lyrics are one of her best. It's so magical, I always can calm down and start the imaginary journey. (Wednesday 11 January 2017; 18:18)
