Why Mariah gets singled out (76,059) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) The answer to this equation is simple her diva attitude and defensive ways get her the target on her back to be singled out nowadays but on a side note the press has always given MC a hard time maybe because of her connections in the industry earlier on. But I to agree and say that MC along with some other artists have always been judged more harshly. (Monday 5 June 2017; 14:18)

Lee from the UK (76,058) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) First off we don't know one another personally to assume anything about each other. We are all entitled to state our different opinions here regarding MC as this is what this platform is dedicated to. My statement was made based off constant negative comments made about Mariah here not your comment specifically but I guess you felt the need to respond to my comment because it describes you. Honestly I have no problem with anyone who posts here but I feel that for anyone myself included if we have come to a point where we don't connect with Mariah as a person or artist it is time to move on and post on another platform of the artist or artists we identify with instead of coming here to post negativity all the time. With that there said, I again say nothing against you or anyone just stating my thoughts. Enjoy your day. (Monday 5 June 2017; 14:09)

Infinity - it grew on me (76,057) by ezio_a_da_f from Belgium Yesterday I was listening Infinity again. I have to say that I didn't do much for me when it released 2 years ago. I have to say it grew on me since a few weeks. It is maybe not an instant MC-classic one, but it has more potential than it seems on first listening. The lyrics are good, not great, but good enough. But vocaly it has some great moments. (Monday 5 June 2017; 13:55)

Re: Celine Dion performance (76,053) (76,056) by Malcolm from Asia She's really that pro in lip syncing like it's beyond. I hope Mariah will signed up for a workshop from her, it's unfair that she always takes the blame lmao. (Monday 5 June 2017; 13:49)

Re: 49 cents (76,051) (76,055) by Malcolm from Asia I ask because I read an article that Mariah is a "queen of 49 cents", that her #1 songs were "manipulated" to turn it from flop to hit. Just curious but if that's the case that's fine, even current pop stars do it too, like Niall Horan for example, I don't probably see his singles in iTunes charts without the discounted icon lol.

One Love Manchester, no MC after attacks Brussels (76,054) by ezio_a_da_f from Belgium I did not see the concert, but I think it was a nice thing to do. If only Mariah did this for Belgium after the bombings in Zaventem en Maalbeek. Normally her concert was on the 27th of March 2016 in Brussels. But she cancelled it. Do not get me wrong: I get it why she canceled it. But it was also a missed opportunity to visit Brussels afterwards, some few weeks/months later. Still waiting, after more than a year has passed. And please dear lambs, I am not trying to offend anyone. It was just some things I was thinking about, concidering past events in Europe. (Monday 5 June 2017; 13:46)

Re: Celine Dion performance (76,048) (76,053) by Sheila from United States She has been lipping for a while at that Vegas show, not sure what 's going on with her voice. (Monday 5 June 2017; 11:52)

Re: 49 cents (76,049) (76,052) by enwar00 from usa B I used to buy maxi singles for $4.99 usually. Tower Record, that was their regular price. I miss that place, it was like my second home. Fantasy was $1.99 though. (Monday 5 June 2017; 10:26)

Re: 49 cents (76,039) (76,051) by enwar00 from usa Just so you know there were tons of other singles by many other artists that were discounted as well. And at that price. This was not specific to Mariah's singles. It annoys me that she gets singled out, especially with Loverboy. If anything these discounts just showed how much of a rip off it was to pay close to $4 for a single. Back to your question, Fantasy was discounted as well. I can't remember if Dreamlover was or not since I was so young when I bought that. (Monday 5 June 2017; 10:23)

Re: Manchester events (76,047) (76,050) by Lee from UK When someone posts an opinion you don't agree with, your first response is to tell them not to come here anymore. That's very mature, Gee. . (Monday 5 June 2017; 09:47)

Re: 49 cents (76,039) (76,049) by B from USA The only singles I bought that was .49 cent was Loverboy. Mariah's single were usually $1.29 in Ohio. Those only included the album version of the song and another song from the album or a previous album. Her maxisingles would sell for between $13 to $20. I paid $0.99 for Honey but every other single on the shelves were the same price except maxi singles. I've read that a company that owned different record stores that would do that. When Loverboy was on sale for .49 so was Bootylicious. (Monday 5 June 2017; 07:05)

Celine Dion performance (76,048) by Tyler from USA I love me some Celine Dion and have been told numerous times to watch the Billboard performance. I know I'm super late on this but am I missing something? How in the hell did anyone not know she lipped the entire thing? If Mimi would have done this on a TV production it would of been stoning. At least when Mimi lips it's literally just the climax. Just shocking to see how harsh and more critical people are of her. (Monday 5 June 2017; 06:08)

Manchester events (76,047) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) While I am happy it was a success let's not come here and insult Mariah because she was not apart of today's events for all we know she was not probably even asked to be apart. On another note let's not forget the many times she has been apart of such events. A tribute to heroes 2001 as her career was going down the tubes she put on a brave face and still performed. This is what Ariana was supposed to do since the tragedy happened at her concert. I have to say Mariah's actions as of late have not been the brightest but at this point if you feel you have lost faith in Mariah or simply have out grown her move on instead of coming here day in and day out just to say how horrible and irrelevant Mariah is.

Re: MTV Unplugged article (76,020) (76,045) by RibbonB from USA It's on the MW website right now, lol. Fake news. (Monday 5 June 2017; 01:21)

Re: One Love - Manchester (76,042) (76,044) by Malcolm from Asia I have newfound respect for Ariana after I watch the concert livestream. Props to her and to her management team. (Monday 5 June 2017; 00:28)

Re: One Love - Manchester (76,042) (76,043) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I am very impressed with how quickly they pulled this off. I was honestly never an Ariana fan, I used to think she's annoying and a lot of other things. Did I listen to her songs? Yes, some of them are good, but I was no fan. But that aside, the way Ariana handled this whole situation, I was blown away. She's so young, yet she pulled off such a beautiful, mature move, especially after a traumatizing event which happened so recently. Yes, her team made it happen, but I'm sure Ariana wanted to do it herself. I'm surprised she pulled together such a nice group of artists to accompany her and raise funds for such a good cause. So Ariana and Team Ariana, hats off to you guys, you all did an incredible thing and although it won't bring back the innocent lives lost, I hope it at least brought some peace, happiness and warmth to the people of Manchester, especially the families affected. (Monday 5 June 2017; 00:23)

One Love - Manchester (76,042) by Lee from UK Wow. I am honestly so moved by the One Love Manchester concert organised by Ariana and her team. However, watching it made me realise, just how irrelevant Mariah is at the moment. I could not see Mariah at that event at all. Each artist took to that stage with absolute humility. No one there was more humble than Ariana herself, dressed very casually and giving her all. Singing 100% live, raw and showing lots of warmth and humanity. Mariah could never pull this off in a million years. Nobody's vocals were perfect but that's not what this event was about. The last thing this event needed was a lack luster rendition of Hero, a song which, in my opinion, Mariah clearly hates to sing. I was blown away by Ariana, her performance of One Last Time with the audience participation really got me and then by the time she sang Somewhere Over the Rainbow, I was practically a puddle of tears. The context of this concert is obviously a contributing factor to all of the emotions I am feeling but I think it was mostly Ariana's reaction to it all. I honestly do not know how Mariah would have handled this if she was in Ariana's situation but for some reason, I get the feeling she would have come off as insincere and I honestly don't think Mariah does humility or humble very well at all. Whenever she tries it feels forced and rehearsed. (Sunday 4 June 2017; 23:56)

Re: MTV Unplugged article (76,038) (76,041) by Malcolm from Asia Lipping is fine, especially doing this concert tours and with her uptempo songs, but at least put some effort to re-record the vocals to match with her current voice and not just insert her studio vocals like we are not stupid to hear the distinctive difference of WBT verses to its climax, or My All verses to its chorus (don't get me started with the Dreamlover performances in Vegas ). Honestly it'll be more appreciated. (Sunday 4 June 2017; 23:51)

Re: Artists you love that may surprise others (76,035) (76,040) by Mara from United States Thank you Eric. (Sunday 4 June 2017; 23:43)

49 cents (76,039) by Malcolm from Asia I know this was the case with Loverboy but is it true that they had been doing it since 90's? Like with Honey? (Sunday 4 June 2017; 23:34)

Re: MTV Unplugged article (76,031) (76,038) by B from USA Showed that Carey's voice was unfuckwithable. Loved this article. All of Mariah's future performances need to be unplugged or acoustic. When she doesn't rearrange her songs, like she did for TGIFY in Vegas, she has to rely on backing tracks to produce the wall of Mariah's that sing the background vocals. I think she should do half and half. Ballads should be unplugged/acoustic and uptempos like Dreamlover and Fantasy should be partly lipped. Lipping parts of her uptempos allows her to preserve her voice for the rest of the performance. (Sunday 4 June 2017; 23:28)

Re: MC's 3 steps to success ((76,005) (76,037) by B from USA I was hoping Mariah's World would have been more like the Around The World special. Such a wasted opportunity. (Sunday 4 June 2017; 19:36)
