Searching for Neverland (77,279) by Edward from USA This is not related to Mariah, but I just watched "Michael Jackson: Searching for Neverland" and I'm actually surprised and pleased at how they showed a Michael Jackson many people didn't know about. The story is told from recounts of his bodyguards who used to be close to him, and it's actually very believable. They could've gone for the controversial Michael Jackson image, but instead the story is told with grace and, in my opinion, with honesty. I hope they could show Mariah in this light while she's still with us. (Wednesday 19 July 2017; 02:12)

Re: Mariah Carey drama series based on her life (77,277) (77,278) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Even though Brett is responsible for bringing 2 different dramas (Stella and Packer) in Mariah's life, he still has experience in his field and has a decent repuatation doing A list movies and work. The same can't be said about Stella but I'm guessing Stella won't really have much of role except to get her name in for no reason. At least that's what I'm hoping because if left to her, Mishka will play a young Mimi. And Sasha a younger Mimi. I'm not too worried about Brett, he is experienced. Also I hear "Starz" is a very reputable network and wouldn't approve any messy projects. Now I just need Mariah to try not to be too dramatic with the story. What I'm pretty sure of is though that this probably won't be an autobiographical series. It'll probably just be loosely based, but I hope the cheesiness is kept to a minimum and same for the added drama. (Wednesday 19 July 2017; 00:27)

Re: Mariah Carey drama series based on her life (77,265) (77,277) by RibbonB from USA I wish her well, but Brett and Crustella are involved so it's a bit tainted. (Tuesday 18 July 2017; 22:53)

Re: Exactly Licia (77,255) (77,276) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Thanks for the kindness and respect Hilton. She is one of a kind for sure, and ultimately like all of us she deserves happiness. (Tuesday 18 July 2017; 21:06)

Re: Article: Mariah to executive produce tv drama based on her life story (77,271) (77,275) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah may demand to play Mariah, starting from her teenage days because she is eternally 12. (Tuesday 18 July 2017; 20:32)

Re: Game of Thrones (77,263) (77,274) by Andrew from UK I used to like Rihanna but I struggle with the point of her now. I am lost as to what her talent actually is. I sing better than her. Mariah farts better than her. Judging by Mariah's face, she's farting better than her quite a lot. (Tuesday 18 July 2017; 20:26)

Re: I think Mariah was sick the first two nights (77,239) (77,273) by Andrew from UK Bloody hell, mate. A post about Mariah? Are you feeling alright, yourself? Normally you just bitch and moan about everybody not behaving in your holier-than-thou way. (Tuesday 18 July 2017; 20:06)

Re: Despacito (77,262) (77,272) by MusicfanJ from Germany Mariah's "One Sweet Day" is a holy grail for me. So I hope her record with it will last long. I remember when she said in an interview, she never planned it like "we gonna make 16 weeks baby". A summer hit shouldn't break the record. But I'm relaxed, even "Macarena" wasn't able to do it. The Rihanna song, I don't care at all if it's going to be a number one. Such a bad song, only the sample from "Maria Maria" by Santana is good. (Tuesday 18 July 2017; 19:59)

Article: Mariah to executive produce tv drama based on her life story (77,271) by Matthew from USA Well, executive producers just front the money. If she leaves it at that, this Starz production could actually turn out well. Like 50 Cent's Power series. But something tells me she'll want to write, co-direct, co-star and do wardrobe. She'll also want full control of casting. So get ready for the acting debut of Mishka. A new star is born. This didn't work the first time she tried it with Glitter, so I guess she's giving it another go. Tenacity is a virtue I guess, but I do wish it was applied to her music. (Tuesday 18 July 2017; 19:02)

Article: Diva Mariah Carey can barely muster energy to move (77,270) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I was hoping it's going to stay in "The Shade Room" because not many people are subscribed to that, as in not many people I personally know. But it has made it's way into "9Gag" and everyone I know is subscribed to that page so now there's no stopping this video. On "9Gag" it's labelled "me doing the absolute bare minimum at work". I'm done. (Tuesday 18 July 2017; 18:57)

Re: Game of Thrones (77,263) (77,269) by Hilton from USA I agree. I do think that once MC puts out a great album, side bar I don't think she's ever put out a bad album per say, I think the GP will eat it up. We will too. Great promo, good to great live vocals, some confidence and passion and there is no doubt in my mind that she will be back where she belongs. Great and honest post. Love it. (Tuesday 18 July 2017; 17:26)

Re: Mariah Carey drama series based on her life (77,265) (77,268) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha when I read the title of the article on insta, my first thought was "here we go again". Because I thought this will be another cheesy, heavily scripted mess. But then I saw the people involved and it gives me hope. Stella of course has to get her untalented self in it somehow, but I can tolerate that as long as she keeps her opinions and ideas to herself. I don't really know what to think of a "scripted drama loosely based on Mariah's real life" will be. Is it like a "Glitter" moment or what? I guess we'll have to wait and see. For now, I'll stay hopeful and wish she makes it a good quality show, something that is not only targeted towards ratchet teens. (Tuesday 18 July 2017; 17:21)

Re: Game of Thrones (77,263) (77,267) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I wish I could say you are wrong, but your post is spot on (as always) and I guess when the time comes, after rambling for a few days (years) I will accept it, but for now I'll enjoy Mariah's reign. (Tuesday 18 July 2017; 17:16)

Re: Despacito (77,262) (77,266) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha I'm a selfish brat when it comes to Mariah so here's what would be the ideal scenario for me. I'll let "Despacito" stay on top for 4 more weeks, letting it tie with WBT and some other songs that are stuck in 14 weeks (I say that as if being on top for 14 weeks consecutively is a small thing, haha Mariah spoiled me too much). Anyways so ya let Bieber stay there for 4 more weeks, by that time I hope WT loses it's momentum and bam on the 15th week "Despacito" is replaced by another song. (Tuesday 18 July 2017; 17:14)

Re: Mariah Carey drama series based on her life (77,253) (77,265) by Lila from United States I was side eyeing the title but then saw that Nina was writing it and relief washed over me lol. I'll give it a chance. (Tuesday 18 July 2017; 16:55)

Re: Despacito (77,249) (77,264) by Lila from United States I do tend to agree. I don't begrudge Rihanna her success or any #1's but I don't think her #1's will ever be looked at as having the same weight as Mariah's. (Tuesday 18 July 2017; 16:48)

Game of Thrones (77,263) by Edward from USA The sooner we realize that Rihanna is going to surpass Mariah's 18 #1's the better. At least it would be someone who not only respects her, but who also has been inspired by her, someone who, in spite of her pop status and unapologetic bad girl image, humbles herself every time she talks about Mariah or when her name is mentioned. I mostly listen to Rihanna's when I'm working out or when I want to feel upbeat, but I don't consider myself to be a fan. Why will Rihanna surpass Mariah's #1's? Well, Unlike Mariah, Rihanna tend to get featured on so many songs in between and during and after releasing an album that she'll score more than 21 #1's for sure, it's only a matter of time. I don't think it's a matter of comparing them vocally or artistically, if it's not Rihanna, it will be somebody else, just like Mariah broke many other records who had been set before she came as a force to be reckoned with in the music scene. As a fan, I do hope she keeps the OSD record for a long time though. That record is more significant to me than her 18 #1's. Only hard-core fans remember that Mariah wrote and produced most of her #1's, the public doesn't care much about that, they just see it as just another #1. The thing is that ever since forever Mariah's been promoted using her #1's that some people have gotten to resent that. At this point, I just hope Mariah stops chasing the next hit trying to desperately appeal to an audience that doesn't seem to be paying attention to what she's offering. I hope she concentrates on creating quality music regardless of hit potential; she's earned that right at this point in her life. Many of the artists labeled as "has been" have tried to emulate their previous eras and come across as desperate. If Mariah works in being consistent by taking care of whatever's left of her voice and couple it with great music, she would still have an audience for sure. We get disappointed and complain, but we're still here for a reason, not just because we like to suffer or troll. (Tuesday 18 July 2017; 16:44)

Re: Despacito (77,252) (77,262) by Malcolm from Asia Given that Wild Thoughts is #2 and Despacito is #1 for 10th week, what would you choose? The chance of Despacito breaking Mariah's and Boyz II Men's record or adding another #1 for Rihanna? Lol. It's amazing that Mariah's name frequently mentioned in Billboard whenever these artists break a record or something. Rihanna can have more #1s, but the pride of having 18 #1s as the lead artist, 17 #1 self-written songs, and 14 #1 self-produced songs in Mariah's name will forever be there. I can imagine if Rihanna will surpass Mariah, her intro in every show will be like "most #1 singles as a female lead artist". Lol. If this will really happen, if I were Mariah I will just settle with "female songwriter with the most #1 singles" introduction because it seems like it's more respectable and besides that's what she always complain in the media so might as well do that.

Re: Shaderoom Ig meme of Honey causes drama (77,254) (77,261) by Hilton from USA Hahahaha. Shit, if you're gonna throw shade then you gotta be a team player and take shade when necessary. Oops, did I say that? (Tuesday 18 July 2017; 14:45)

Re: Despacito (77,252) (77,260) by Hilton from USA Sigh. I like Ri. I enjoy her music, but I really do agree. I would love MC to just come out swinging and to keep her record. Lolol. (Tuesday 18 July 2017; 14:44)

Re: Mariah Carey drama series based on her life (77,253) (77,259) by Hilton from USA Yes Mimi, I am so here for this project too and I couldn't agree with you more. (Tuesday 18 July 2017; 14:41)

Re: At the risk of sounding ultra positive (77,241) (77,258) by Hilton from USA I do understand what you mean. For instance, We Belong Together, I think suited her voice in 2005. I am not sure if 1990 Mariah would've been able to sing it the same way. Vice versa. Vision of Love, 1990 Mariah, doesn't sound the same on 2017 Mariah. Her voice is one of a kind and I hope that she gets rest and all that good stuff so she can slay this Lionel tour. People are waiting for her to fail and we all know what she is capable of. I think Licia pointed this out. (Tuesday 18 July 2017; 14:40)

Re: Despacito (77,249) (77,257) by Hilton from USA I like Rihanna. Is she the best singer? Nope. But, I do enjoy most of her offerings. Someone will dethrone MC, or maybe not. Maybe MC will come out swinging and rack up some more number ones. Who knows? (Tuesday 18 July 2017; 14:27)

Re: Mariah Carey drama series based on her life (77,246) (77,256) by Hilton from USA Yes, me too. I'd be down to watch this. I didn't really watch Mariah's World besides the one episode. Idk if I ever will. This seems promising though. (Tuesday 18 July 2017; 14:25)

Re: Exactly Licia (77,240) (77,255) by Hilton from USA I think you and Lucia offer up great constructive criticism of MC. Ain't nothing wrong with that. I think it's welcomed here on the message board. However, not everyone serves it up the same. Some are just down right disrespectful. After all, we say it how we see it and it's all a matter of opinion. Hopefully the disconnect that she may be having will dissipate sooner than later. Team win for MC always, she's one of a kind and we know what she's capable of. Much love to you ladies. (Tuesday 18 July 2017; 14:23)
