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.

Re: Boobie trap / bring me the money (75,468) (75,495) by RibbonB from USA Well with Stella advising her and gassing her up, we will be in store for "boobie-trap" music. Lol all boobs, basic lyrics and wack trap beats. Yassssss to the new queen of trap. Or will it be flop trap. Lol just entertaining myself. (Sunday 21 May 2017; 17:26)

Re: Breaking point (75,481) (75,494) by Stacey from USA I'm right there with you. Although my middle finger to MC happened a long time ago. Welcome to the club. (Sunday 21 May 2017; 16:55)

Breakdown (75,493) by Licia from USA Last night I developed a new appreciation for Breakdown. The song doesn't pop up on my playlist that often and when it does pop up I usually just skip it because I have to be in a certain mood to listen to it. It popped up last night and I decided to let it play. I listened to it three times in a row like I had never heard the song before. This song has to be one of her smoothest Rnb /Hip Hop infused songs imo. Everything just meshed together so well. The vocals and the raps are perfect. Anybody else have moments like this on any of her songs? Like you didn't fully appreciate a song until you heard it years later. I'm trying to steer my mind away from the mess and focus on what's most important so indulge me please. Lol. (Sunday 21 May 2017; 16:52)

Reality TV awards (75,492) by RibbonB from USA Well Mimi will be lucky to get nominated for a reality tv show award for season one or two of Circus World. Meanwhile Bey has one a Peabody Award for Lemonade. Oh well maybe this is what Parkwood wants for Mimi's legacy too. (Sunday 21 May 2017; 15:27)

Re: Snake is back (75,472) (75,491) by RibbonB from USA Most people on this board don't respect stunts with her highly paid employees, but I'm sure it will get her the attention that she wants. (Sunday 21 May 2017; 15:24)

Re: Media whore? (75,473) (75,490) by Lila from United States It would be wonderful but I don't think it would happen. Look at what happened with the old crew. The moment Nick wouldn't play ball and use his relationship with Mariah to get her to do what they wanted her to do, he was public enemy number one and yes these people were wrong but ultimately Mariah was the one who indulged these people's words and stupidity instead of saying for them to [censored] off or be fired. Nothing points towards Mariah wanting to anytime soon grow up and get some actual help for her issues, so I don't see her letting go of Stella and company who indulge her unhealthy need for constant attention, unhealthy need for everyone to agree with everything she says and does lest her ego be bruised, and her unhealthy Peter Pan Syndrome. There's no way that Nick would last in the current climate. The first time he breathes in a way that they could construe as him being unsupportive of some dumb ass decision Mariah or all of them have arrived at or doesn't play the game they want him to, he'll, again, be public enemy number one. Mariah didn't choose him the first time around and, sadly, I don't think she would choose him the second time around, either. As far as managing, it wouldn't be a bad idea but Nick said that he didn't want business to cross personal in the podcast he did so I don't think he would ever manage Mariah, particularly if they were in a personal relationship. And when I think about it, that could very likely turn out to be a trip to hell, too. (Sunday 21 May 2017; 15:02)

Re: Mariah's World season 2? (75,467) (75,489) by RibbonB from USA I suspect so and I thought at much, when last week or so she said never say never, but I'm not saying no. She really thinks this show is special. Oh well, I am over her fakeness and staged pictures of a private meeting in a restaurant. I have said before when Mariah wants to be private, she is private and not seen, when she wants to be seen she is with nip slips and thong flops and all. I'm going to try to leave this contrivance alone. Mimi likes the mess, but let's hope she makes good music maybe I will buy that. (Sunday 21 May 2017; 14:58)

Re: Tanaka's back (75,478) (75,488) by Lila from United States They didn't say it directly but they hardly ever say anything in a direct and formal press release. They go through TMZ and they did the same when it came time to say that Tonka Toy was a gold digger and opportunist. TMZ and no other celebrity news outlet would've cared enough about him to report such accusations otherwise. As for him being her creative director, that's a stretch. Going by Mariah's World she only gave him the job of co-Creative Director to Anthony's Creative Director, when he was still there, because he broke his knee. Not the most inspiring promotion and who knows if it was ever written down contractually. Still, just because Anthony left, it doesn't mean he gets the top job and hopefully Mariah wouldn't be stupid enough to give it to him but if so it's not surprising. (Sunday 21 May 2017; 14:48)

Re: Tanaka's back (75,485) (75,487) by Licia from USA I'm not going to even waste my time commenting too much on this bs. She wants attention and I hope her twelve year old followers give her all the attention she needs. Smh. (Sunday 21 May 2017; 12:50)

Re: Bring me the money (75,468) (75,486) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Oh Edward dahlin' please, Mishka will executive produce the album and provide her expert opinion (because empower your girls even when they can't spell) and Sushi Roll will be involved too. Probably Mariah's new choreographer. (Sunday 21 May 2017; 12:25)

Re: Tanaka's back (75,478) (75,485) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Not directly but come on, we'd be silly to assume that the "exclusive leak" of the break up came from none other than Stella herself. No one cares to keep tabs on the MC-Tanaka relationship. Plus in one of the articles this "source" said that Mariah won't be working with Tanaka. That's why we had the discussion about who might step in. Also wasn't there the whole "unbridled" discussion if I'm not mistaken? Last but not the least, when Nick went on Wendy, she discussed how he broke them off. This story came directly from her camp, have no doubts. What I'm concerned about is what his return signifies. (Sunday 21 May 2017; 12:23)

Re: Breaking point (75,481) (75,484) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter It's honestly frustrating to see these. We can only blame the Bulochnikovs up to a point but at the end of the day Mariah has put herself in this mess. I can't believe this is the same woman I grew up listening to, the same woman who inspired me so much. The person I see now cannot be the same Mariah. It honestly breaks my heart to see her image being so trashy. How can she approve these being who she is? She isn't a thirsty new comer who needs to stay on the news. Heck what good are these stunts doing for her? Celebs pull stunts to benefit themselves but the only results of her stunts is her image is being more and more tarnished while her career is at its most uncertain point. It's sad to see you and other members say you all are leaving, I can't blame you though, it does feel like she is intentionally giving us all the middle finger. She has already cut ties with everyone she knew, now she is cutting off her fans. (Sunday 21 May 2017; 12:19)

Sighs (75,483) by darrian liu from taiwan When will Mariah's career stop going to the wrong direction? Like hell, this era is a comolete and utter mess. I'm not even gonna talk about that "FBF" IG pic. At this rate, I doubt that this next album would crack the top 5 of the Billboard 200. (Sunday 21 May 2017; 12:08)

So called leaked pics (75,482) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So we have our first set of "leaked photos" of Bryan and Mariah 2.0. It looks painfully staged with them sitting at a restaurant which is completely empty and in one shot Bryan is feeding Mariah and in the other we have the return of the awkward kiss. The first thing you'll notice is how the clan isn't around her when they usually always are, this isn't anything good, since obviously they are taking the photo but I hope it's not publicity for season 2 of MW. Mariah never outright shut down that idea and even if she would have done that, that isn't set in stone since she did say just a few months back that she won't do an album and now we hear she's doing one. (Sunday 21 May 2017; 10:47)

Breaking point (75,481) by Marissa from USA I've tried to refrain from commenting on Mariah for months and have tried to detach with love, but seeing this latest picture of her and Tanaka/hearing about the tweets about him sent me over the edge and I need to speak on it. Let me be clear, I think she is entitled to dating/hanging out with Tanaka again if she wants to. She can do whatever she wants in her love life, but stop dragging the fans into it by shoving it in our faces when most of us are begging you for everything but (caps) this. The same energy it takes to come up with new ways to troll her fans about her love life is the same energy she could use to actually connect with us, especially since we have been begging for years (caps) for her to listen/care about us again. Seeing that picture, I finally felt the middle finger she has been giving to us for years and I realize that it's time for me to retire as a fan. I'm tired of the only (caps) energy she directs at her fans being used to manipulate, troll, lie, sow false hope, bait and play games. There's a huge difference between going through a rough time and doing some out of character stuff and actively playing your fans for fools for your own entertainment. This isn't a phase, it's a lifestyle and as a result, being a fan has become a constant headache. If Mariah was someone broke who needed stunts to pay bills, I'd give her a break, but she's simply greedy and addicted to attention, and the attention is never at least put to a constructive use. All of this self-degradation but when is her recent music ever on the radio though? Platinum albums? Grammy noms? Throwing everyone including herself under the bus and for what? I'll check the board for a little while in case anyone responds but after that I'm letting go because keeping up with her life is frustrating and she doesn't look like she's changing any time soon. I'll always always love Mariah, but I'm not going to actively check for somebody who doesn't care about their fans, career or reputation. I'll love her from a distance. It's been real. (Sunday 21 May 2017; 10:41)

Tanaka/MC dinner tonight (75,480) by Mara from United States Ok, come on Mariah. Even soap operas look more real than that picture I saw online of them sitting in the same side of a booth directly turned toward one another and kissing and then him feeding her something. What the hell exactly is going on? Who thinks this is a good look? I don't understand her logic. Stealla, I say Stealla now because she is stealing what class MC had, Stealla, I am so beyond annoyed with you at this point. Mariah, I am annoyed right now. Again, if it were real, ok, we all go back with people or have in our life at some point. But this is just so beyond staged and made for the cameras that I just can't anymore. It's like they tried with hot spot pics with Nick and trotted all over town for the headlines, something happened along the way, Nick was tired of the bullshit and bowed out of the circus? I don't know. So now we enter Tanaka all over again after they trashed him in the tabloids and voila Nick is quiet again, no more public family time etc. I just wish Stella and her empowered girls would be banished. I honestly don't know what will be of MC anymore. I am sick of this at this point. (Sunday 21 May 2017; 06:26)
