Re: Journalists fat shaming Mariah (77,532) (77,533) by TJ from Norway There's a reason Adele, Jennifer Aniston and so on doesn't get that treatment. I wish Mariah would find her humble side again. My neighbour met her many times through work in the beginning of her career and told me she was the most humble, a little bit shy, and the cutest person ever, but it all changed as her career took off. By the time Merry Christmas was released she was a different person and not in a good way. Fame isn't always as good as people think. (Friday 28 July 2017; 13:25)

Re: Journalists fat shaming Mariah (77,528) (77,532) by Andrew from UK People make fun of Mariah because she has afforded herself one of the worst reputations for any star of her calibre. People just don't like her. There's no ambivalence. They'll dance to her music and sing along to Hero, but when asked about her, I imagine everyone here has heard many people retort with "I can't stand her." She throws overt desperate and needy sexualism in people's faces and that's not what they were, or are, looking for from her. In a society that thinks gluttony is a disgusting character trait, if you pile on the pounds, it's best you don't take your clothes off and ask people to pay you sexual attention or show adoration, seemingly to feed your own warped ego. They'll tear you down. For a woman that has spent a lifetime trying to be qualified by having men want to [censored] her and women be jealous of her, it's not surprising that people want to mock her for wanting to have her cake and eat it now. Literally and figuratively. She knows that being thin sells, or she wouldn't airbrush every photo she has the influence to have airbrushed to within an inch of its life. She's either too lazy to lose weight or just doesn't care. Either way, it's about time she started to dress properly and act with some dignity. People celebrate the humble and dignified, they don't tear them down. It's rather bad sport. (Friday 28 July 2017; 10:08)

Re: Mariah and Chelsea (77,530) (77,531) by Todd from Melbourne, Australia I know that her and Nick Cannon have had some beef, but thought she wasn't fairly indifferent to Mariah. Also I don't think she throws shade, she just says what everybody is thinking. (Friday 28 July 2017; 02:13)

Re: Mariah and Chelsea (77,527) (77,530) by RibbonB from USA Mariah would be Wendy Wiliams' bff before she would ever appear on Chelsea's show. Chelsea has thrown Mimi nothing but shade. (Friday 28 July 2017; 00:24)

Re: The Star (77,512) (77,529) by RibbonB from USA Mariah has been playing opposites for the last couple of hears now, but I don't think it is permanent, unless, you know. (Friday 28 July 2017; 00:21)

Journalists fat shaming Mariah (77,528) by Lee from UK How on earth is this ok? Whenever an article is written about Mariah there are a few stock phrases that journalists like to use over and over again and they all focus on her weight. The amount of body shaming that happens in these articles is ridiculous. Mariah is an easy target. Can you imagine journalists fat shaming Adele, it wouldn't happen. Adele may dress more conservatively than Mariah (and the gods know Mariah's fashion sense is awful) but that doesn't mean she should be body shamed. Some have gone so far as to taking fan photos of Mariah at her concert, where she wears plenty of leotards, photoshopped them to make her look bigger and then basically said "everyone look and laugh at fat Mariah". Love her or hate her, it doesn't matter. It's bullying. Simple, basic bullying and it's ok because she's difficult diva Mariah who brings it all on herself and obviously shouldn't be so proud of herself. (Friday 28 July 2017; 00:10)

Re: Mariah and Chelsea (77,524) (77,527) by Todd from Melbourne, Australia Sorry, that last message made no sense. I mean Chelsea would *not* put up with any crap. (Thursday 27 July 2017; 21:43)

Re: Mariah and Chelsea (77,524) (77,526) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Do not insult the iconic Pennywise The Clown by comparing that mess of a woman with it. And managerial work? You all expect too much from a leech. Stella is as much of a manager as JLo is a singer. In fact JLo is better at singing than Stella will ever be at managing. (Thursday 27 July 2017; 18:50)

Re: Article: Mariah puts on another underwhelming performance (77,519) (77,525) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter No one heard about that so called "feud" because no one cares. There was no feud. But leave it to Stella to defend that, yet keep shut when Mariah gets dragged. She responded to the Tommy open letter only because he hinted strongly that Mariah's team is a mess, while he kept praising Mariah and her talent. But Stella had to respond to that because Stella was the one at whom the digs were indicated. There have been way too many instances when Stella only "clapped back" when Stella's name was being dragged, never for Mariah. Only times she responds to "rumors" about Mariah are stuff that doesn't really affect Mariah's image, nor is something anyone cares about. (Thursday 27 July 2017; 18:42)

Mariah and Chelsea (77,524) by Todd from Melbourne, Australia I would love to see Mariah go on Chelsea and have a chat with Chelsea Handler. I feel like she would put up with any crap or diva antics. Also, it was disappointing to see that long clawed Pennywise the Clown banshee in the background of Mariah's again. Shouldn't she be in an office in LA doing managerial sort of stuff? (Thursday 27 July 2017; 14:19)

Re: Article: Mariah puts on another underwhelming performance (77,519) (77,523) by Lila from United States The only option left is to hope it blows over. (Thursday 27 July 2017; 13:44)

Re: Short memories (77,520) (77,522) by Licia from USA It's not her song so she shouldn't be the one explaining anything. I'm all for holding Mariah and her team of misfits accountable, but this situation isn't on her. (Thursday 27 July 2017; 13:04)

Re: Foxwoods show (includes album cuts?) (77,521) by Sheila from United States I'm slightly wondering what Mariah has in store for this show, I think we are finally getting something special. She's going to sing her regular setlist and throw in a few album/cd cuts? (Thursday 27 July 2017; 12:39)

Short memories (77,520) by Tommy Brad from England Don't forget she said a Busta Rhymes song would be released in April and has offered no explanation to why it hasn't appeared. Why should we believe that The Star will even be released? (Thursday 27 July 2017; 12:22)

Re: Article: Mariah puts on another underwhelming performance (77,513) (77,519) by MusicfanJ from Germany Joe Jonas looks nice with the t-shirt. Hmm I didn't hear that they have a feud. Like you said Mimi L., her "team" should tell the press that it's all made up. But hey, only professionals would do that. (Thursday 27 July 2017; 12:00)

Re: M3rry Christmas (77,514) (77,518) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha no that's not Mariah singing, it's Stevie Wonder singing "What Christmas means to me". I did hear that it was previously called "The Lamb" though. (Thursday 27 July 2017; 11:55)

Re: The Star (77,512) (77,517) by MusicfanJ from Germany How I love the NY penthouse too. Mariah belongs to New York no matter what Stella says. I think L.A. and Hollywood can be a "toxic" place for people. For me it seems that NY is less fake (although it's a big-business city). Mariah always looked happy and real in New York and for me she'll always be a NY girl. One last thing to the topic, maybe Crustella fears the Ghostbusters in the city. Lol. The Christmas movie trailer is really nice and I can imagine that the radio stations will play "Star" a lot in December. (Thursday 27 July 2017; 11:54)

Re: Article: Mariah puts on another underwhelming performance (77,513) (77,516) by Licia from USA I say the same thing all the time. She's just letting her client get dragged over a performance that happened a month ago. People on Twitter actually think this is from the Lionel tour. (Thursday 27 July 2017; 11:18)

Re: M3rry Christmas (77,510) (77,515) by Licia from USA I thought it was only one song for the movie. Where did this full Christmas album idea come from? Now I know Christmas is a big money making time for her and I don't knock her hustle, but I don't want another Christmas album right now. I don't need another extra festive So So Def Justin Bieber Oh Santa Silent Holy Aude Lang Syne Night remix to AIWFCIY right now. Lol. Another Christmas special is cool though. The last one was awesome. (Thursday 27 July 2017; 11:13)

Re: M3rry Christmas (77,511) (77,514) by Andrew from UK Apparently, it was originally supposed to be called "The Lamb" haha. Isn't that Mariah singing "That's what Christmas means to me my love" in the trailer? It sounds like she sounds now. And it sounds like an arrangement Mariah would have in a Christmas song. She should definitely write a Christmas song called "Be A Lamb". (Thursday 27 July 2017; 10:37)

Re: Article: Mariah puts on another underwhelming performance (77,507) (77,513) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Wonder why Stella doesn't clap back at these false stories instead of defending how Mairah didn't bang Tanaka in a restroom or on Mariah having a feud with Joe Jonas. Speaking of Joe Jonas, here is a picture of Joe showing some love to the Queen, wearing a t-shirt with her name and image on it, here is the t-shirt. (Thursday 27 July 2017; 10:31)

Re: The Star (77,508) (77,512) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Absolutely, every single look, every single frame from that special was gorgeous. She looked beautiful, youthful, classy and like a superstar that she is. Everything from the hair, the makeup, the outfits was perfect. As for Mariah not being in NY, it feels so weird to me, because Mariah has gone on and on about how she loves NY, I hope she never sells that penthouse (Andrew has mocked me way more than once about how I once said I'd love to live in her closet, which let's be real is bigger than apartments). Hats off to Stella though, she got Mariah to do something even Nick couldn't after 6 years of marriage, move to LA. Nick used to be in LA a lot because he worked here, while Mariah refused to move to LA and hence she would be alone in NY most of the time and that was one of the many stresses in their marriage, but Stella got Mariah packed up, wrapped up and settled in LA. I heard she has bought a huge place there, which is currently under renovations while she is renting out another house. This sounds permanent. (Thursday 27 July 2017; 10:27)

Re: M3rry Christmas (77,510) (77,511) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Not necessarily though. She's probably just doing a song for the movie. Like she did "Almost Home" for Oz. Even the name of the movie is the same as the song, so maybe the producers or someone who is part of the movie asked her to write one for them, knowing that if anyone owns Christmas season, it's Mariah. (Thursday 27 July 2017; 10:19)

M3rry Christmas (77,510) by Andrew from UK The Star? So the new album is a new Christmas album? If it is, that's probably a good move. I'd actually be excited for that. I hope The Star is upbeat. (Thursday 27 July 2017; 08:58)

Foxwoods show (77,509) by Mara from United States So Mariah has this random date at the Foxwoods on October 14th the year. How amazing would it be, if she totally surprised us all and made that a complete Butterfly album to commemorate the Butterfly 20th anniversary. As a surprise show, from front to back ala U2 The Joshua Tree. I was thinking about getting tickets to the show and just find it strange that it's a random show not a tour with Lionel, Sweet Fantasy, Christmas, whatever, but it does coincide with Butterfly's September 16th release date. I think I would die a complete happy fan if that happened and I think the rest of the lambs would too as there would be some kind of footage or sound from it. Any ideas as to if this is just another regular same song performance? Wouldn't it be nice if she used this little opportunity to perform some deep cuts from Butterfly and just let loose or did some raw acoustic material. One can dream Mariah. I think a show like that would get a lot of positive coverage or press, more so than not and also bring attentions and new fans or interest to Butterfly, which I'll say again is her best complete body of work to date.
