Mary J. Blige's promotion strategies (74,786) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines While Mary's going all out on promoting her new album that drops tomorrow (so excited) she's doing so in ways that exude class and maturity. With social media teasers and pictures here and there on a daily basis, a documentary on the album's creation coming out in May, plus the fact that the public actually got to miss her enough to long for her return. All of this could bode well for her new set and make up for the minor commercial success of its preceding (brilliant) singles. Meanwhile, Mariah is out there barely rocking ill-fitting outfits she might as well bust (pun intended) out of. I'd wonder why Mary can pull this off and why Mariah can't, but then again Stella's there to enable Mariah's newfound I-don't-give-a-what attitude and indulge her need for constant adoration, so I guess Mariah had it coming by choosing to stick to that bitch responsible for accelerating her career decline at a rate faster than you can even read this sentence.

Andrew the [censored] (74,785) by Terna from Nigeria You're a man Andrew and so am I. You have something to say to me, don't say it indirectly cosigning another person. Say it to me like a real man would. Cowardly much? You're the crazy here talking shite and rambling nonsense and no one takes you seriously. Always remember that. (Thursday 27 April 2017; 10:36)

Re: Things we particularly like about Mariah (74,753) (74,784) by Terna from Nigeria Yes I see her as a grounded celebrity. Do you have a problem with that? Mariah has money but hasn't let it get into her head, and doesn't do the stupid things people like her who have touched money do, she's pretty much the same Mariah Carey from the start. She knows who she is and has stuck to it and doesn't strive to blend in or fit into a particular standard or any one's box. She leads, not follows. You Bill seem to be living under a rock if you as a Mariah fan (as you claim to be) haven't noticed that about her. Mariah repeats clothes, pretty much looks the same and isn't botched like say Lil Kim, Cher or those Kardashians (seen how Khloe looks lately?), nor going around looking altered and stupid with the so called "Duck Lips" fad plague that seems to have taken over Hollywood and even the general public. She treats people nicely like they're actual people. That's not grounded enough huh Bill for Uk? You look stupid making that statement now don't you? (Thursday 27 April 2017; 10:27)

Re: New: Anthony Burrell interview (74,758) (74,783) by Manny from U.S. When Anthony talked about green people or inexperienced people in her team, I thought of that cringeworthy scene of Stella defending Mariah's ass pic. Her argument was that it went viral. Anthony was in disbelief. Guess what else went viral Stella?The "Cash me outside, how 'bout dat" girl. I think Stella should go work for her instead. Mishka will be perfect in handling her Instagram account. (Thursday 27 April 2017; 09:34)

Anthony (74,782) by Lila from United States I definitely applaud Anthony for his answer to the questions. He kept it professional and as a few have already noted he didn't burn bridges. He's smart and/or just has some common sense. Burning bridges is a two way street you may cut the other off from you but you also cut yourself off from the other. In a professional environment you've got to be very careful of which bridges are actually worth burning because it's not a surety that other will need you before you need the other.

Re: Nick re: Edward (74,777) (74,781) by Lila from United States It's quite bewildering, but unsurprising, how in Mariah's World: Fan Edition, its acceptable to exaggerate how, in some fans minds, hurt, embarrassed and/or offended Mariah was over some throw away complimentary comments Nick made about his and Mariah's love life or comments about this or that person (the way many go on and on, you'd think she was a victim of domestic violence); yet, Mariah can give some idiot a lap dance and have vice versa done to her, all the while being supposedly engaged to another man, put it on public display and these same fans will pretend it never happened or can't be bothered to think it's a big deal. Going by their own standards, if Nick's comments were so hurtful, her own actions should've killed or, at least, ko'd her. If you're going to call out sides, call out both and judge by the same standards/criteria. (Thursday 27 April 2017; 05:43)

Re: Edward (74,780) by Nikki from usa Talk about seeing what you want. I never stated the webmaster wouldn't support "receipts". I was referring to the fact he doesn't like excessive links which is something he's mentioned before. But, way to go off on a tangent. Nobody said Nick "beat" Mariah or half that crazy stuff you came up with. It is a fact Nick is a well known playboy and has been long before he hooked up with Mariah. It is also a fact he's a multi-entertainer who's held down several different jobs at the same time since he was 17 - you can look it up. That's his work ethic, not because people were *gasp* "talking". We both know you'd never excuse Mariah for anything real or imagined just because people were "talking". Mariah didn't "behave" in any inappropriate manner while married to Nick. I'm referring to him failing a public lie detector test on fidelity and allowing 3 women to grind on him while married to Mariah (not after serving divorce papers, but before). I find your reference to Mariah's "decency" as nothing but sexism for how you think a married woman should look. Apparently, a man cheating is okay if his wife is being indecent by wearing pig tails. Mariah was there for Nick in his time of need and put her career on hold, Nick didn't reciprocate. One of these is not like the others. What I can't help but notice is you don't seem to be disputing Nick's actions as much as you seem to think Mariah deserved it because you don't find her "perfect". (Thursday 27 April 2017; 05:32)

New song (74,779) by G.G. from USA What the hell happened to the new song with Busta? (Thursday 27 April 2017; 04:06)

Re: WWHL After Show (74,765) (74,778) by Edouard from France Well she did answer, in her own way. When you know Mariah, you know what she means. I actually like the way she answered about the "did you consommate your relationship" question. At first I was like "c'mon Mariah, answer the damn question". Than I was like she did answer, in a very feminine and feminist way: "I could, I don't think that I should." Very classy IMO. No she doesn't have to answer that, it's private. She's not a piece of meat. She has respect for herself and she doesn't fell she has to answer that question. (Thursday 27 April 2017; 01:47)

Re: Nick re: Edward (74,770) (74,777) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Not to start anything but wasn't there even a shot of Bryan basically burying his face in Mariah's bosom in MW? Haha messy me actually went and found the gif, and dahlin' don't even get me started on that messy lap dance and the cringe worthy videos from the post Paris show/Vodka launch party. I cannot deal. (Wednesday 26 April 2017; 20:54)

Re: WWHL After Show (74,773) (74,776) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha almost forgot their [sic] was a debate. Darn it. (Wednesday 26 April 2017; 20:48)

Re: New: Anthony Burrell interview (74,766) (74,775) by MusicfanJ from Germany 1. Don't mess with Crustella 2. The story of my unbridled success (how I became the manager of Mariah) 3. Fun with the Bulochnikovs 4. My new bff (empower girls forever) 5. The docu-series of MC and the Bulochnikovs (extra-festive) (Wednesday 26 April 2017; 20:38)

Old diva drama (74,774) by RibbonB from USA Since were are speaking of old diva drama again, this little piece of comedy came across my twitter feed. This writer is too funny, I did love his MW recaps, especially since I couldn't really watch the show. If this Aretha mess is true, she is off her rocker. She is a genius singer, musician and icon, but she is bonkers. (Wednesday 26 April 2017; 18:06)

Re: WWHL After Show (74,765) (74,773) by RibbonB from USA Mimi L., I see you trying to sidetrack back into that Celine Divas debate. Ugh. "Cat in Heat Dion", SMH, not again. Lol. (Wednesday 26 April 2017; 17:53)

Anthony (74,772) by Edward from USA Anthony did great on that interview. Bridges in the same city tend to be connected and they tend to talk to one another, you burn one, you burn the rest. He handled that question with class and honesty without being shady or catty. He will be just fine. (Wednesday 26 April 2017; 17:48)

Re: New: Anthony Burrell interview (74,766) (74,771) by RibbonB from USA You forgot "Real Bats of Calabassas". (Wednesday 26 April 2017; 17:45)

Re: Nick re: Edward (74,767) (74,770) by RibbonB from USA Let me help this along, lol. Nick was in Jamaica filming "King of the Dancehall" and may have had a few of the local girls backing up on him. Meanwhile Mariah was in Vegas sitting court with the Chippendale guys, dropping "Bengamins" in Tyson Beckford's crotch to promote her new show in Vegas. Either way, they were both separated, divorce filed, living single. Now, I really hope they just get back together. Dem babies need explanations. (Wednesday 26 April 2017; 17:43)

Mariah and Nick (74,769) by Edward from USA It's evident Mariah and Nick are great parents. They've put their kids first and that's what matters. I don't really care if Nick ever lay his hands on Mariah lovely lady humps again, they're grown ups and can deal with the consequences of their actions. I actually think Mariah sings better when she gets laid on a regularly. Those high notes on "I Wanna Know What Love Is" were very crisp and fresh. (Wednesday 26 April 2017; 17:42)

Re: New: Anthony Burrell interview (74,763) (74,768) by Licia from USA Exactly. I think he has a love for Mariah, but I also think he loves his career more. Burning that bridge with Mariah will not only affect him having the possibility of working with her again, but it could make other artists not want him. I think the interviewer was expecting him to say something shady when she brought up the NYE situation, but he handled well. (Wednesday 26 April 2017; 17:30)

Re: Nick re: Edward (74,733) (74,767) by Edward from USA It's very convenient for you to say the webmaster wouldn't post the well of evidence you have against "The Abandoner" in video form of his questionable behavior other than the inappropriate things that came out of his big mouth. Last time I checked, Eric didn't mind posting links, especially if they are receipts to support your argument. Show me three links showing Nick humping a girl, or of a girl grabbing his penis, or him cheating on Mariah, and I'll post six of Mariah doing fishy, questionable, unclassic behavior, very unbecoming of a decent woman with kids. I never said nor do I think Nick is a saint just like Mariah isn't a saint either. The assumption that if the marriage didn't work was because of Nick is pure speculation, but facts are facts, and those can't be denied. Nick was working on overdrive and that's a fact, do not tell me that it wasn't evident he was trying to prove himself worthy of the Goddess, because he wasn't allowed the benefit of the doubt by default from the punishers. But anyway, Nick makes Mariah happy and that should tell you something, even after all the bad, horrible cheating, beatings, abandoning he did. Mariah must be a masochist to let such a horrible man next to her and her babies. I'm done talking about Nick, but just don't come for him before you undo Mariah's Pipi Longstockings' braids and present her how she really is. (Wednesday 26 April 2017; 17:03)

Re: New: Anthony Burrell interview (74,764) (74,766) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter 1) The real Losers of Calabasas. 2) I want to be a Kardashian (like the show "I want to be a Hilton"). 3) Here comes the "Boo-leech-nikovs". (Wednesday 26 April 2017; 16:40)

Re: WWHL After Show (74,761) (74,765) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter It does get annoying haha. The hair flip then hiding your face with the hair, not answering a single question properly. The only time she gave good answers was when she was asked about Whitney, Michael, Aretha and Pattie. I don't know why she shaded Celine again though since Celine has been always super nice about Mariah and sent her flowers but she brought up the "you don't upstage the queen of soul" thing. I'm assuming it's about Celine since Celine was trying to match right in front singing along, almost having a vocal battle (haha no she's a sweetheart) and Mariah used to make this same comment about "no one should try to upstage the Queen of Soul" right after Diva's Live and it was about Celine. I mean I get it that she decided to stay in the background and let Aretha have her moment but I'm sure Celine wasn't trying to upstage Aretha, in fact maybe she was just trying to impress her or heck just do her job as a performer. (Wednesday 26 April 2017; 16:36)

Re: New: Anthony Burrell interview (74,759) (74,764) by darrian liu from taiwan Lol forget about naming it "Mariah's World". It should've been "The First Vision of Crustella" or "Here Is The Bulochnikovs". "Bulochnikov Family Values", "13 and Boozin'", "Booze-Ups with the Bulochnikovs", etc, etc, the list goes on. Any more suggestions for a more fitting title for Mariah's World? (Wednesday 26 April 2017; 14:52)

Re: New: Anthony Burrell interview (74,760) (74,763) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Anthony's response was a true professional and intelligent answer which was also respectful. He was specifically blamed for the NYE disaster right after they blamed DCP (and DCP responded back). His version is he left, but Stella's version is he got fired. No matter what, Stella shouldn't have made explicit statements about "firing" Anthony since he was the one at fault, since a back up dancer being replaced wouldn't have made any headlines and but Stella around she needs everything to be a headline. Anthony could have been bitter with Mariah for allowing Stella to pull this stunt since it could have potentially damaged his career, his livelihood but he had the last laugh since right after that he choreographed Beyonce's spectacular Grammy's performance, while Stella still remains an unworthy idiot who can't even blend her contour let alone hold a team together. Anthony could have shaded Mariah but unlike Stella he isn't stupid and won't burn bridges with everyone to sound cool because he knows he might get to work with Mariah again as soon as Stella is out. Stella only thinks about the short run so she doesn't think twice before calling important people by bad names, a true professional knows you should never burn bridges. (Wednesday 26 April 2017; 14:27)

Re: New: Anthony Burrell interview (74,759) (74,762) by RibbonB from USA Yes it is unbelievable that Mariah hired Stella and that she is still in the mix. I hope that changes soon. I am so glad that Anthony did his job, but also had his say and kept his career and professionalism in the forefront unlike "Thirsnaka". I am still hoping that the Vuitton Box will be put into use very soon, so Crustella can be shipped off the premises. (Wednesday 26 April 2017; 14:26)
