Re: Ridiculously bad videos (74,206) (74,214) by Edouard from France Why should a woman's vulnerability be the only way for people to accept her sensuality and sexuality? Think about it. (Thursday 6 April 2017; 21:45)

Re: Ridiculously bad videos (74,197) (74,213) by Jono from USA Completely agree, the quality of her music videos have gone downhill. Look at videos like It's Like That and We Belong Together. There's almost a cinematic quality to them, and the decision to make them a two part story was brilliant. Her James Bond themed Honey is still one of her best videos to date. My All exemplifies Mariah's timeless and effortless sensuality. Touch My Body was playful. Heartbreaker is campy and iconic. Even Fantasy managed to capture the sweet summer nostalgia. Now you just get kind of sad, tacky videos that only show her writhing around barely clothed. Mariah is obviously still gorgeous and hot, but she has to know that less is more. I'm hoping for her next solo project that she brings back that element of sophistication and fun. (Thursday 6 April 2017; 20:34)

Re: Article: Meet Mariah Carey's maybe fake, definitely hot BF (74,193) (74,212) by Marissa from USA Never date a fan? Honestly I don't know anyone who isn't a fan of Mariah's music (maybe not her as a person, but Mariah's one of those artists where everyone loves at least 5 of her songs), so she'll always be forced to deal with that starstruck element. Even other people in the music industry are starstruck by her. (Thursday 6 April 2017; 19:48)

Re: Mariah's World on dvd (74,167) (74,211) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada I'd so love to have more of Mariah's concerts and performances released on DVD without the scripted drama elements of Mariah's World. (Thursday 6 April 2017; 18:52)

Re: Daydream era (74,200) (74,210) by B from USA She also perfromed Looking In. (Thursday 6 April 2017; 18:40)

Re: Benny Medina (74,205) (74,209) by Susana from USA Can't be any more expensive than toting your current manager's family around everywhere. (Thursday 6 April 2017; 18:15)

Re: Ridiculously bad videos (74,206) (74,208) by MusicfanJ from Germany Completely agree. The video of "My all" is pure art. How I love that style of music videos. The black and white style, the little sweet story and Mariah looked so beautiful and sensual. I miss the good taste so much. (Thursday 6 April 2017; 18:01)

Re: Ridiculously bad videos (74,206) (74,207) by B from USA You're Mine (Eternal) had a storyline. (Thursday 6 April 2017; 17:28)

Re: Ridiculously bad videos (74,202) (74,206) by bliss! from Brazil It was nice when Mariah had videos with storylines or symbolism that didn't have her sexuality/looks as the main focus. "My All" was extremely sexy, but still was able to portray her vulnerability, laying on a large conch shell while her lover appeared in a lighthouse. So much was being said with few resources. The problem is that now her videos are all about her looks and her assets. Very uncomfortable to watch and no strategy whatsoever. (Thursday 6 April 2017; 16:45)

Re: Benny Medina (74,196) (74,205) by Chicago Lamb from USA Benny Medina was very expensive. Probably the only manager on par with the Mottola cronies. (Thursday 6 April 2017; 16:38)

Todd from Australia (74,204) by Jeff from USA I like the new avatar pic. Such a beautiful smile. (Thursday 6 April 2017; 15:06)

Re: Daydream era (74,200) (74,203) by Bill from the UK Also ABMB ended up becoming one of her most popular songs in the US, still receiving regular airplay to this day. Daydream is always heavily represented on her compilation albums too so if anything it's the opposite and is arguably the peak of her career both in terms of success, vocals, and creativity.

Re: Ridiculously bad videos (74,197) (74,202) by Malcolm from Asia I agree except for #Beautiful mv because even though it's a video full of beauty shots, she looked good there and doesn't came off as desperately trying to be sexy. I wish she will hire A-list directors that can up her visuals game and please leave directing to the professionals already. Fantasy mv worked because it was the 90s but those kind of visual doesn't work on this century anymore and her creative ideas are already questionable for a long time now so she really needs to invest on these things if she wants to make it work. If she wants to do something, make it great and prioritize it, not like her recent efforts where it was all undeniably half-baked. If she can't do that anymore, just don't do it because it really affects her reputation and credibility as an artist. (Thursday 6 April 2017; 10:21)

I'm surprised that... (74,201) by Anonymous from I knew that they had gone away together but must have missed Stella's post wishing Mariah happy birthday. I had hoped that this was a sign of things to come, that the parting process had begun. (Thursday 6 April 2017; 09:30)

Re: Daydream era (74,174) (74,200) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines You do have a point. Although I believe her choice of performing ABMB over any other song from that era or album is not just because it's one of her favorties, but also because it's what she is most at ease performing, as the other singles are more vocally demanding/challenging. (Thursday 6 April 2017; 06:39)

Re: Daydream era (74,174) (74,199) by B from USA I disagree. She also always mentions Underneath The Stars, Fantasy with ODB, and One Sweet Day. (Thursday 6 April 2017; 04:57)

You wouldn't know it by this fan site but... (74,198) by Lannister from USA This week was the anniversary of her 18th #1 hit. (Thursday 6 April 2017; 04:28)

Ridiculously bad videos (74,197) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Have you noticed how bad Mariah's visual game has been since Triumphant? The worst part of it is that she wants her videos to be sexy but they ultimately come off as try-hard, desperate and unintentionally ridiculous. What if she just does that instead, you know, go for campy and funny as opposed to sexy? We know she has it in her (Heartbreaker, Boy (I Need You), Touch My Body, Obsessed). Or better yet, go for something completely nonsensical. The video for Still Feel Like Your Man, John Mayer's best single in years, just dropped and man it is (deliberately) the weirdest, most brilliantly incoherent and off-kilter thing I have seen from a mainstream artist since, well, everything Lady GaGa has done before she got tamed. (Thursday 6 April 2017; 04:27)

Benny Medina (74,196) by Malcolm from Asia Can someone tell me why he and Mariah parted ways? Is there an issue with it or it's just a mutual decision? I don't understand why Mariah needed to let him go. (Thursday 6 April 2017; 04:09)

Re: AI producers (74,188) (74,195) by Edouard from France Oh drop it already. (Thursday 6 April 2017; 03:55)

Re: Mariah's World on dvd: tour footage (74,169) (74,194) by B from USA If it does I still won't buy it. I'll just wait until someone uploads the extras on YouTube. (Thursday 6 April 2017; 02:33)

Re: Article: Meet Mariah Carey's maybe fake, definitely hot BF (74,185) (74,193) by B from USA Packer played Mariah. Have you read the Vanity Fair article about him? He used her to up his profile. His friend is even quoted as saying for James it was a publicity stunt. Mariah did not love him but she believe he did. He is or was obsessed with her. She should never date a fan. (Thursday 6 April 2017; 02:30)

Re: Article: Meet Mariah Carey's maybe fake, definitely hot BF (74,185) (74,192) by Lila from United States Not real enough to take off a ring that symbolizes her would be engagement to another man nor the necklace that said man gifted her. (Thursday 6 April 2017; 02:04)

What if Mariah sang Adele's "Turning tables" (74,191) by Ty from USA That would be a beast. (Thursday 6 April 2017; 01:52)

Re: Article: Meet Mariah Carey's maybe fake, definitely hot BF (74,185) (74,190) by RibbonB from USA Or more fake. We may never know until it ends. So many machinations, plus now she has to act or fess up. But it's whatever, because it will likely go the way all the rest real of fake which is to a dramatic end, unless this is really the last one as in ends up in her demise.
