Re: Mariah's World season 2? (75,517) (75,521) by Lila from United States Excuse the typos and the accidental emoji. Typing on phones is a killer sometimes. (Monday 22 May 2017; 14:24)

Mariah loosing a lot of fans (75,520) by T from USA From what I read around the Internet and talking to various people outside of the Internet it seems that Mariah is loosing tons of fans and at a rapid rate. If this continues she may not [have] very many left by next year. I think she should hurry and get that album out this year as she still has somewhat of a fan base and plus with Katy Perry flopping there is litterally no other female compitition on the horizon. This might be her best chance. (Monday 22 May 2017; 13:42)

The Busta song (75,519) by T from USA It was said the song was supposed to come out right before her tour with Lionel Ritchi [sic]. But once that got pushed back so did the song I guess. Maybe we'll hear it in August then. (Monday 22 May 2017; 13:39)

Re: Interesting LA Reid article (75,501) (75,518) by T from USA I also think that promises were made from Doug Morris to LA Reid that once he steps down LA would take the reigns as top boss. But this business is so shady they say one thing and do another. To be fair Striger ran a way better Columbia than Reid did at Epic so the right man got the job. Then of course as to not look embarrased Sony leaks "stories" about sexual harrassment. But watch nothing will happen going forward. (Monday 22 May 2017; 13:38)

Re: Mariah's World season 2? (75,497) (75,517) by Lila from United States I'd love to say no but E's shows don't get amazing viewership in the first place unlike hit shows on a network like ABC or CBS. I remember reading one article on Mariah's World ratings that also talked about Rob and Chyna's show ratings. I can't remember the exact figure either show got but they were in the same boat. It's just that you'd think that someone as big a star as Mariah would bring in big viewership. Also, I've done some reading and *throws myself on a bed dramatically* there's an article up on the network's website calling Kylie Jenner's new show, "Life of Kylie", a docuseries. Docuseries. Oh and it's going to be 8 episodes. Now, just where have we heard that before? Now we know why Mariah was viciously hanging onto calling that nonsense she gave us a docuseries. With Keeping Up with The Kardashians viewership dropping (not surprising as that show has been on the air for years), and the network's other shows not bringing in amazing viewership, I can't see E network wasting time and money on 8 episode docuseries instead of shows with some longevity. Kylie's show may be starting off at 8 episodes but it's doubtful there's not going to be no more after that. Which brings me to Mariah. I was wondering this before but now I'm wondering even more I f there was always going to be a second season. I know we all had our own thoughts on the matter but what if she was always contractually obligated to do more than those 8 docuseries episodes? It would explain why even though she said things didn't come out like how she wanted she still said never say never in regards to a second season. She could of very well been doing the coy thing because she already knew that there was going to be a second season. Hopefully I'm wrong but it's a thought. (Monday 22 May 2017; 13:24)

Re: Breakdown (75,505) (75,516) by Licia from USA It's so crazy because Butterfly has never been a top album for me even though I listen to six out of twelve of the tracks. I'm compelled to sit and really listen to the other six songs that I never gave a chance so I can get a better understanding of why the Butterfly album is considered a fan favorite.

Re: Interesting LA Reid article (75,511) (75,515) by RibbonB from USA Billy and B. I just checked Wikipedia and it shows that TEOM has sold 600,000 plus units in the UK, to date. While that is platinum by UK standards, it might not translate well to impacting that 6 million put into it according to Grainge. Supposedly the record has done 6 times platinum in the US alone and 12 million world wide, which is certainly formidable, but the UK's contribution of 600,000 is relatively small.

Re: Media attention (75,506) (75,514) by Manny from U.S. It's funny how you bring that up. Ive wondered about Camp Mariah and her charity. When I see Madonna post her charity work, I think why Mariah does not do that. Stella should be telling her to do some Camp Mariah deal since she is into all these empower movement. I know theyre different types of charity but it's more the meaning behind them. Stella does not seem like the type to support any cause like that. Seriously, I hope Stella reads this.

Article: Mariah Carey risks a very embarrassing slip (75,513) by Gemma from Australia "sigh" I miss the 90's Mariah that dressed like a trendy singer with a little self respect so much, not this Mariah that dresses like nothing but a cheap prostitute who has 0 self respect. I mean what message does that send to her daughter? I personally think Nick should try and explain to Mariah that all this wearing slutty clothes is completely wrong when you have a six year old daughter who looks up to you and will probably one day dress like that, thinking it's ok for women to dress up like a hooker. *end of rant* (Monday 22 May 2017; 08:43)

Sighs pt. 2 (75,512) by darrian liu from taiwan My biggest fear as a lamb used to be Mariah slowly fading as a force on the pop charts and only having audience in Adult Contemporary formats. Now that situations seems like a land filled with butterflies and rainbows compared to this mess. (Monday 22 May 2017; 07:40)

Re: Interesting LA Reid article (75,501) (75,511) by Bill from the UK I could understand if the comments were about CB, as it didn't crack the top 50 in the UK, but TEOM was a top 10 and had one of the longest runs on the chart since Butterfly. It started as a top 10, hung around the mid 20s for several weeks, and then climbed back into the top 10. Her subsequent albums (and several before) were all pretty much a flash in the pan chart wise, where they enter and fall off completely after a month. TEOM was the only album of hers since the mid-90s that had any kind of chart longevity and which went up, down or maintained its position week to week. For comparison, Rainbow spent 4 weeks in the top 75, TEOM 43 weeks. (Monday 22 May 2017; 07:37)

Re: Breakdown (75,493) (75,510) by darrian liu from taiwan Basically every song in Charmbracelet and Glitter were like that lol. I disregarded them for so long because of the negative feedback both albums received from the public and fans, and at my first listen of both albums, I only liked bits and pieces of them. Now I can't stop playing Glitter and Charmbracelet. (Monday 22 May 2017; 07:37)

Was Celine singing live? (75,509) by Ty from USA Sounded somewhat prerecorded and raspy. (Monday 22 May 2017; 03:49)

Celine Dion Billboard Awards (75,508) by B from USA Her voice is damaged. She can no longer hit the notes like she used to. So it's time we stop claiming Mariah's the only singer who's voice has changed. And she just obviously lipped a prerecorded climax. Her ensemble was hideous. (Monday 22 May 2017; 03:47)

Re: Media attention (75,496) (75,506) by Lila from United States It's because, as Ribbon has said several times, that would be too much like right. Besides that, I'm not a psychologist but there's obviously something going on up there in Mariah's brain that's causing her to act in the way that she is. As said before, Mariah's not some Z-lister or unknown talentless person that has to resort to any and everything to get attention. She could choose to get attention in positive ways. She was just getting some with the family pictures, as you said she could do charity work, something good and yet she doesn't. I think there's something going on in the self-esteem department and probably a lot of other departments. She'd just rather give into it than get some help. (Monday 22 May 2017; 01:11)

Re: Breakdown (75,493) (75,505) by Stacey from USA I popped in the Butterfly CD yesterday and let it play. MC must have been going through some tough crap. That CD puts her feelings on full display. I felt so bad for all the crap she endured. Not now, of course, but I digress, lol. Like you, Breakdown played yesterday. What a masterful piece of genius there ever was. (Monday 22 May 2017; 00:51)

Honey I shrunk the fanbase (75,504) by Lila from United States Right now, on social media, I'm seeing more than a few of messages from fans who are officially leaving behind their days as a fan of Mariah's. Even if not leaving, a good chunk of the fan base is still really upset about these recent actions, many are feeling quite alienated at this point. The only thing Mariah has succeeded in doing with this ridiculousness, besides embarrassing herself and inciting ridicule which sadly enough doesn't even make me blink as it's so common at this point, I'm desensitized, is causing the fan base to shrink. I'd love to be proven wrong but I don't see 2017 happening for her with the route she's decided to take. (Monday 22 May 2017; 00:34)

Re: Is she going to play the piano? (75,499) (75,503) by RibbonB from USA I saw that preview where she sat but didn't play. I bet Jaimie Foxx will do the playing. This looks to be a cool new show. (Monday 22 May 2017; 00:27)

Re: Interesting LA Reid article (75,501) (75,502) by RibbonB from USA Well that is one theory, but highly unlikely that he was so concerned about Mariah's deal, but at least he gave her a nice party. Funny he calls Grainge a liar, but got offended when his ex partner Babyface asked for an audit of Laface records. Hilarious that he said he felt like Babyface's "sidebitch" after all that went down. Let's hope that years from now Mariah isn't saying IDJ and Reid ripped her off. (Monday 22 May 2017; 00:25)

Re: Interesting LA Reid article (75,445) (75,501) by B from USA I agree with Reid that Sir Lucian Grainge's claims that TEOM did poorly in the U.K.. Sure, it didn't do as well in the U.K. as it did in the U.S. but it was still considered a worldwide success and was the best selling album of the year. I also don't believe that he got nothing back from his supposed $6 million investment in the album. I don't think the sexual harassment suit had anything to do with Reid leaving Epic. I think he knew his days were numbered and he renegotiated Mariah's deal to ensure she wouldn't be affected by his departure and quit before he could be fired. I also think not getting to be the head of the company was why he did so. He thought he was the heir apparent and when they chose someone else he decided to walk away. (Sunday 21 May 2017; 21:10)

Re: Tanaka/MC dinner tonight (75,480) (75,500) by MusicfanJ from Germany I've read all the messages here and I can only agree with all of you. Mara you're right, Crustella can also be called Steala. She's really stealing everything from Mariah. Everything what was/is so loveable and classy. The latest Tanaka pic is ridiculous. It's clear the kid or Crustella are behind that "idea". I know it sounds mean but it's hard to recognize Mariah. Thanks to Brat Ratner that he introduced the fake/devils-clan to Mariah. In the past Mariah wouldn't even look at people like that for a second. Trashy wannabes. That MC is also paying for this mess, I just can't understand. (Sunday 21 May 2017; 20:01)

Is she going to play the piano? (75,499) by MC1989 from Spain Look at this guys. (Sunday 21 May 2017; 19:11)

Article: Mariah Carey risks a very embarrassing slip (75,498) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter This outfit is hideous and I see we are back to the "nip slips" and "thong flash" headlines. Even the Kardashians have moved on from these cheap stunts. Seriously what is that outfit? Just looking at it makes me uncomfortable. (Sunday 21 May 2017; 19:05)

Re: Mariah's World season 2? (75,489) (75,497) by Shezz from Pk Didn't the show not do well? E is not stupid to renew a flopped show. Or so I hope. As much I love to blame the bollocks, all this mess is all M. She has chosen to become them. I can disconnect myself from her personal/social media life I just wish we weren't subjected to it. People like Wendy sound correct and justified now. Kardashians look classier now. Hell has frozen over. (Sunday 21 May 2017; 18:04)

Media attention (75,496) by Mara from United States You know, what I don't understand is why all this constant shallow addiction to the media. The constant nightly dinners so she can be photographed. She has taken over for Kim K at this point. Going backwards instead of forward. I just dont understand the logic here. What has happened to her really? Has it ever occurred to them that she would get just as much if not more and classier media attention if she was photographed doing something "good" with her money. Throw on a damn t shirt, cover them up, wear a pair of decent blue jeans or better yet, joggers and do some charity. Surprise some kids who could use a moment in their life. Volunteer somewhere, get that photograph and coverage if that is what she so desperately seeks. At least she could be doing something good with her platform instead of this shallow "look at me with my diamonds and expensive bags, belts, cars". It is all so offputting and distasteful. She should pay a visit to camp Mariah and have Mishka snap a pic there. Sounds shallow, but my point is she might as well do good if she is so addicted to attention. Whoever said Mariah is throwing us the middle finger, I think is right. We noticed how the Russians have made such an impact in her style and mannerisms and I noticed someone online put a link to Mishka's instgram and she is drinking clinging glasses stating "cheers to the haters". I do think Mariah's attitude is very similar at this point. But enough with th useless pap photos, go do something beneficial. She is always the first to say she always wants to remind her kids how not everyone has all this and you have to work. It would help her image, respect, inner peace and her children.
