Re: Karma (76,721) by Nikki from usa People believe whatever gets the most hype, but "Mariah" didn't cancel her South American tour. She couldn't do it period. The promoters failed on their end and wrote an apology on their website. Mariah filed a lawsuit against them last year for that breach in contract. Her NYE performance was a fluke from the get-go because she wasn't supposed to be there in the first place. Dick Clark Productions was in a bind when they couldn't get that year's biggest act as their headliner. Mariah agreed to cut her vacation short with her kids in Aspen to do them a favor. She wasn't about to do any vocal rest while on a family holiday. Not to mention major outdoor events like that are lipped 99% of the time anyway. Her performance was a product of sabotage. Which she actually could prove. Which is why her lawyer made a statement and DCP removed her performance from their website while she was able to keep her check in full. In return, she had to stay silent about it. Which is why she never went in on the details like she said she would after commenting about her inner ears not working. She took a break from social media and then chalked it up to "behind the scenes stuff that nobody would understand unless they were in the industry". Of course that makes her a patsy. Once people know you're willing to be a patsy they won't hesitate to use you as a scapegoat. I expect to see more complaints about Mariah this year if anything else she does goes wrong.

It's not to stay relevent (76,720) by Nikki from usa Mariah's projects have to do with a creative outlet - I'm sure getting paid is a nice bonus, but I doubt it's the main priority. I think people, including her fans, sometimes get lost in her celebrity. Mariah likes intimate connections. I'm not referring to relationships. Given a choice would Mariah prefer to sing in an arena or a theatre? Would she like a global brand or several local ones? Mariah's been doing little behind the scenes projects for years now. She did commercials throughout the 90's for Japan. She was a model for the 2007 year in Italy for their Pinko brand. Mariah's creative and wants other ways of expressing it and simply to try new things. Small projects don't require as much commitment as large ones. This gives her more opportunity to branch out and delve into more things. It also provides her with more mommy time in between. Mariah is a driven personality. Those kinds of people don't retire and need constant stimulus. (Tuesday 27 June 2017; 21:50)

Re: "It's important to have his and hers everything" (76,702) (76,718) by Terna from Nigeria Eduoard, your positive attitude and optimism makes me smile and kinda reminds me of Mariah. It's ones like you I believe are real people first of all, and true lambs. You stand out easily on here and are a breath of fresh air. Don't change. Lots of love. (Tuesday 27 June 2017; 20:09)

Re: Can we all celebrate the fact (76,701) (76,717) by Terna from Nigeria I know right? She dodged a bullet with that breakup. I didn't even like that guy, he kinda bugged me. Take note even Brett cut ties with him. . Lol you gotta love Mariah. She's smart that cannot be denied. (Tuesday 27 June 2017; 19:49)

The press conference (76,716) by Lila from United States What I got out of it all is that Mariah needs to stop thinking that being ignorant is cute or absolving and pick up a book or hit up google more often. Educate herself. Maybe then she'd know better than to get involved with a man whose friends with the head of state of Israel, have dinner with the head of State of Israel and his wife, get involved with a shady Israeli company that scams people and upholds the theft of Palestinian lands and making life harder for Palestinians. Then again, she also said that she's not interested in what's said about politics that do not affect her life, so even if she knew I guess she wouldn't care. (Tuesday 27 June 2017; 19:46)

This messageboard (76,715) by Hilton from USA Some of you on here really need to get a life. The back and forth bickering is ridiculous, dumb, and unnecessary. Anyone who participates in behavior like this on a messageboard should be ashamed of themselves. It's old and tired now. SMH. (Tuesday 27 June 2017; 19:28)

Re: Can we all celebrate the fact (76,710) (76,714) by Lila from United States Packer can't be faulted for getting more out of their deal than Mariah did. As the saying goes: don't hate the player, hate the game. Mariah should've stepped her skills up. She also didn't make both of them look worse on Mariah's World. She just made herself look worse, something she's an expert on these days. (Tuesday 27 June 2017; 18:56)

Re: Can we all celebrate the fact (76,701) (76,713) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter It was a mutually beneficial relationship where Packer got the publicity and Mariah got the revenge on Cannon by upgrading to a billionaire (something she explicitly threatened to do) and also to let the world know that she isn't miserable after the divorce. You can celebrate all you want for Mariah not marrying an "international thief" but are you also celebrating Mariah sheltering a robber and family of leech under her own roof?

Re: "It's important to have his and hers everything" (76,708) (76,712) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Say it louder for people in the back. (Tuesday 27 June 2017; 18:35)

Re: Thanks for Nothing in Baku (76,709) (76,711) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter How they messed up choosing the right singles from an album that is full of potential top 10 singles is beyond me. Anyone who thought releasing "Bye Bye", a 2008 version of OSD over "Cruise Control", something new and fresh from Mariah was dense. Don't get me wrong, I love "Bye Bye", but it shouldn't have been released when it was, if anything they could have wrapped up that era with that song as the last single. "Side Effects" should definitely have had a release with a good video. There are just so many options from that album yet they failed to choose the right ones. (Tuesday 27 June 2017; 18:33)

Re: Can we all celebrate the fact (76,707) (76,710) by B from USA I never said it was one sided. I was summarizing what members of both of their teams said in the profile on Packer. They both agreed that Packer dragged Mariah to business meetings because of who she is. They both also claim it was a PR stunt on Packer's behalf and that she was a part of some five year plan of Packer's. Did she use him for something? Probably but he seems to have gotten more out of it than she did. He made her look like a fool so she made both of them look even worse by including the Tanaka storyline on Mariah's World. (Tuesday 27 June 2017; 18:18)

Re: Thanks for Nothing in Baku (76,699) (76,709) by B from USA I love Thanx 4 Nothin'. E=MC2 had so many songs that could have been hits like Side Effects, I'm That Chick, and Thanx 4 Nothin'. Releasing Bye, Bye as the second single from E=MC2 is one of the biggest mistakes ever made in Mariah's career. It killed the albums momentum and every album she's released since had suffered the same fate. (Tuesday 27 June 2017; 18:05)

Re: "It's important to have his and hers everything" (76,702) (76,708) by Andrew from UK There's not really any other way to say this: you're mental. You must have something seriously emotionally wrong. Everything you post is a misrepresentation, a fabrication or a lie. You know it. We know it. You know we know it. We know you know we know it. Und so bloody weiter. Positivity is one thing. Appearing to be quite mentally and/or emotionally unstable is another. N'est-ce pas? (Tuesday 27 June 2017; 17:50)

Re: Can we all celebrate the fact (76,701) (76,707) by Bill from the UK You are actually 100% delusional. Only one person was being used in that relationship and it sure as hell wasn't Mariah. (Tuesday 27 June 2017; 17:41)

Re: Could we all be part of another metamorphosis? (76,657) (76,706) by Kay from Thailand You could be right. Her preoccupation with non-music related "projects" surely can't be for the money, though it's totally understandable that when people don't come from money then come into a tonne of it, they strive for more and more wealth so that the rug never gets pulled from under them. Her metamorphosis must be to stay relevant, and if it was implemented by professionals with experience and a touch of class, she would have been able to swing it on home with projects that build on her brand as a super-talented record-breaking fabulous diva. Instead it's been a trail of bizzaro initiatives that aren't worthy of her name - a trashy reality show instead of something like a Netflix insightful documentary, the face of an Isreali beauty brand instead of a globally recognized reputable product, the Azerbaijan Grand Prix instead of Monacco and the list goes on. (No offence to those countries.) Of course the best of the best probably don't want to deal with her anymore because of her reputation. So she seems to have settled on evolving into a TMZ darling and to hell with anything of substance. (Tuesday 27 June 2017; 17:33)

Re: She is not flat but her Baku show was (76,697) (76,705) by Malcolm from Asia It seems like she always need to have a tour for her voice to warm up because if not, the case will always be like that Baku show. (Tuesday 27 June 2017; 17:14)

Re: Can we all celebrate the fact (76,701) (76,704) by B from USA I shared a link to Vanity Fair's profile on Packer in which both a member of his team and a member of her's said it became obvious Packer was using Mariah when he started dragging her to business settings in countries where she's well known like Japan. Funny how after the breakup Japan officals detained his employees. Correction it was China and Chinesse officials that detained Packer's employees after the breakup. Here's the link.

Re: Randy's rants (76,693) (76,703) by Randy from USA Why the disrespect? Because I come with receipts and proof. I don't just make blanketed statements? I've been a fan since the beginning and the only reason I criticize MC is because what's obvious to the rest of the world seems to be lost on her and her true fans. It's all love. I don't call people names or curse at people I don't know on a message board. I'm grown. (Tuesday 27 June 2017; 16:37)

"It's important to have his and hers everything" (76,702) by Edouard from France Remember that quote? It's interesting to me that Packer is currently under investigation because he is said to have paid luxurious vacations to the Netanious. Yet she insisted on having her own yacht. Smart woman. (Tuesday 27 June 2017; 15:43)

Can we all celebrate the fact (76,701) by Edouard from France That Mariah didn't marry an international thief? It is obvious that she realized that something was fishy about James Packer and she refused to close her eyes. She is upset when they mentioned him because he clearly tried to use her to expand his fortune and use her as a trophy wife so that people would succomb to her charm and fall into his trap. Mariah has already experienced this kind of man before. I'm sure it will inspire her new music. (Tuesday 27 June 2017; 15:40)

JoJo - Wonder Woman (76,700) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines While the state of Mariah's career has been stuck in the same limbo for the past 3-4 years, I'd rather listen to fresh, new music. JoJo just dropped a great song possibly meant to capitalize on the success of the blockbuster movie of the same name in theaters right now. This is slinky, minimalist R&B at its best because it highlights her amazing vocals. Now if only Mariah had the guts to make songs without having to force herself to come up with easily digestible hooks. But then again she is an R&B singer with a pop heart, so I guess this would be too much to ask of her because it would be going against her instinct. I hope this is a taste of another album from JoJo. She truly is one of our most underrated artists. (Tuesday 27 June 2017; 15:33)

Re: Thanks for Nothing in Baku (76,695) (76,699) by Licia from USA I'm sure the fan wanted her to actually sing it though. Not the CD. I appreciate her for adding the song for the fans (as I said before it's a favorite of mine), but come on. I can listen to the CD version any day of the week. (Tuesday 27 June 2017; 15:12)

Re: Thanks for Nothing in Baku (76,695) (76,698) by Bill from the UK If she had bothered to do what she's paid to do and actually sing it, maybe, but lipping along to a CD version isn't worthy of comment or acknowledgement. (Tuesday 27 June 2017; 14:59)

She is not flat but her Baku show was (76,697) by May from Denmark She didn't sound horrible but she obviously sounded weak. Not a single high note hit for real, then that late warm up, was it because she was late again? What the heck does she always do that it takes forever? Overall because she is not the one doing her own make up unlike Celine Dion. Probably she was trying to squeeze in that horrid catsuit. The look wouldn't be awful if it actually fit and if the boots were lost. If at least was a knee length dress or gown sequined with the n1 would have been so different. I'm not one to throw any thick girl under the bus but Mariah please just dress your size at least. Anyway, as I said, it was obvious she lowered the key on all her songs and played it very safe. She moved very little, gone are the days she walked all the stage. She was doing ok in Vegas and her tour was fine, can't ever trust her since years though, it all goes down hills again for some reason, she rides the rollercoaster and I'm getting tired of the bumpy ride. In all honesty, she looked sad, she didn't seem to be having fun or enjoying the fireworks, the chat and the moment. Where were her dancers? Have they ditched her? Or was she? The woman with the big voice seems gone so all that rests is music and the new music is no where to be heard. (Tuesday 27 June 2017; 14:23)

Does anyone believe in Karma? (76,696) by T from USA I've been thinking about some of the amazing performances she had in 2016, like the SSFT and the Essence Fest in the Superdome and then at the end of the year how terrible her live career ended on the open Dick Clark stage in New York City. Then it had me thinking of her actions right before New Years and specifically cancelling the South American tour. She hurt a lot of people and I wonder if that energy came back to hurt her? A more straight forward way to look at it is this: If she would've kept performing regularily through October and November maybe her voice would've been in tip top shape by New Years and she wouldn't have relied so heavily on backing tracks. Take a look at Emotions or WBT at Essence Festival on YouTube to see what I'm talking about. Had she done that same performance at New Years it would've been a whole different story now and maybe even restored her credibility as a live singer to the millions watching.
