Re: Who would you pick (76,317) (76,322) by 123 from USA I agree with Madonna during the early 90's as well. Btw, Madonna has praised Mariah and vice versa. I need a duet from them, not many legends left. I guess I need to YouTube Kate Bush. Heard the name but I would have thought she was relative of Pres. Bush and co. Talent wise yes Katy Perry would be the complete opposite. Funny how she threw shade at Mariah saying she was "good for a throwback" in regards to who the biggest female artist is but then claimed to be a member of her Lambily when she went to her Vegas show. A select few get a shot at being the It Girl O'The Day, being compared to Michael and Mariah but poor thing is struggling now and blaming Taylor for sabotage because she released all her old music to streaming services the same day Katy's new album was dropped. Petty of TS, of course, but I think people aren't just feeling you this time around Kates. Meteorite indeed. (Thursday 15 June 2017; 04:31)

Re: Exclusive MW season 2 promo shot (76,313) (76,321) by Licia from USA Dang you Mimi L. I screamed so loud one of my cats ran into the room to see what the hell was going on. She's still sitting here staring at me. Mariah is one blush stroke away from looking like that though. Lol. (Thursday 15 June 2017; 02:04)

Re: Who would you pick (76,309) (76,320) by B from USA Ozzy. I don't know any female besides Madonna, Britney, and Gaga that haven't emulated or paid homage to Mariah. Sheryl Crow and the Lilth Fair lineup including Paula Cole carries themselves differently. (Thursday 15 June 2017; 01:59)

Re: Forbes (76,319) by Nikki from usa Yes, there are articles about how much these celebrities make, Lila. Nobody ever said they were exact figures. J.Lo went on several interviews to say how much she's making and that came straight from the horse's mouth. Promoters such as Live Nation do give out information on tour sales abroad for their artists and is a common practice. As I have already stated, Mariah used different people for each country she was in for back in the day. Tour gross are the numbers I was referring to which you can find from Madonna's people, Live Nation, and statements from publications for her concerts abroad. MC's have never been released from abroad in the US, but plenty have done so locally where she was touring by the people who promoted her in their native language. Yes, artists, military, and self-employed "gig" people do get exemptions from income and living taxes done overseas, Lila. It's called Foreign Earned Income Exceptions and has several other names and there were other perks throughout the years as well. Yes, Nick did blab it before anyone went around to call up AI for confirmations. People magazine was about 2 months late for that story. (Thursday 15 June 2017; 01:44)

Re: Exclusive MW season 2 promo shot (76,313) (76,318) by RibbonB from USA Please tweet that to Mariah. She needs to see what she has unleashed into the firmament. (Wednesday 14 June 2017; 22:47)

Re: Who would you pick (76,309) (76,317) by MusicfanJ from Germany In the past Madonna. Lol. Today I would choose Katy Perry. Well we know the second woman is a bit of a fan of Mariah but she's also the complete opposite. (Wednesday 14 June 2017; 21:59)

Re: Exclusive MW season 2 promo shot (76,313) (76,316) by Lila from United States Bury me. I'm dead from laughter. (Wednesday 14 June 2017; 21:27)

Re: Who would you pick (76,309) (76,315) by Ben from Sweden Björk, maybe? (Wednesday 14 June 2017; 21:03)

Re: Who would you pick (76,309) (76,312) by Bill from the UK That's strange, as I was reading your message, and before I got to you mentioning Kate Bush, in my head I thought of Tori Amos, who is very often cited as the American Kate Bush. (Wednesday 14 June 2017; 18:54)

Re: Forbes (76,301) (76,311) by Lila from United States There are no articles that state that a formal rep for J. Lo or Brittany confirmed anything about their income, so there have never been any formal announcements from their camps about income. If anything, some celebrities have stories planted related to their income or their PR takes the inititiative, which are still usually highly exaggerated, but no one actually comes right out and gives that information away. Most of these figures are simply made up estimations by the likes of Forbes based on unproven formulas. What celebrities make from touring is not reported by them or their promoters. What is reported is the gross sales of those tours. No one knows how much Mariah made on American Idol, exactly. Therefore, Nick nor anyone else "blabbed" anything. It was reported by People magazine that Mariah was being paid $18M and, when asked by Barabara Walters, Mariah said that the figure was in the ballpark. That's as close as we get to knowing how much she made. It is 100% false that money made overseas stays overseas. If you are an American citizen, all of your income, regardless of where it was made and minus what the government has said is exempt, is taxed unless you lied on your taxes about just how much you made. You must be thinking of expatriates, which Mariah is not, who are commonly, and also wrongly, thought to be completely exempt from paying taxes on foreign income. Even then, Mariah would make too much money to be exempt from taxation if we are to believe that she does command millions from one private performance alone. Not to mention, regardless of if the IRS is not going to tax the money, US citizens still have to file with the IRS and basically report that the money was made. As far as perfumes, most of the figures reported on celebrity perfume sales are like tour figures: gross sales, not how much the celebrity made. I'd say that's more than likely reported because the companies who make these perfumes are usually public companies. (Wednesday 14 June 2017; 18:49)

Re: Who would you pick (76,309) (76,310) by Warrior Butterfly from USA Marilyn Manson or Nine Inch Nails. (Wednesday 14 June 2017; 17:14)

Who would you pick (76,309) by MC1989 from Spain Here's an interesting question. If you had to pick a musical artist (woman or man) that you felt was a polar opposite to Mariah and her music, who would think? I don't just mean the music, but also how they carry themselves in public. I think it's a very tough question. I would choose Kate Bush. I have some thoughts, but I will wait to see what you all think before I share them. (Wednesday 14 June 2017; 17:02)

Re: Mariah's World season 2 episode synopsis (76,306) (76,308) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha if the show is anything like the synopsis, I'm totally down for a second season. (Wednesday 14 June 2017; 15:55)

Re: Channeling the Buttefly within (76,296) (76,307) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Hahaha I'm done. Edward I cannot deal with you anymore. (Wednesday 14 June 2017; 15:45)

Re: Mariah's World season 2 episode synopsis (76,278) (76,306) by B from USA Mimi, I just laughed my ass off. Much love. (Wednesday 14 June 2017; 14:10)

Re: Channeling the Buttefly within (76,296) (76,305) by B from USA First Stella has Mariah do a reality show, then have her spotted at The Ivy, and now she has her not wearing underwear. Who does she think Mariah is? Paris Hilton? I know Paris was once considered the most famous woman in the world but Stella that was a decade ago. Mariah hire a manger with some competence and isn't stuck in 2006. (Wednesday 14 June 2017; 13:59)

Re: Mariah's World season 2 episode synopsis (76,278) (76,304) by Lila from United States The crazy hilarious part is that if a second season truly is being carried out, there's a big possibility that the real episode synopses won't be much different from those. (Wednesday 14 June 2017; 13:34)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey spills out of zero underwear dress (76,300) (76,303) by MusicfanJ from Germany I really love Mariah but why this again? Yesterday I searched for pics (just for the nostalgia) from the beginning where she entered the spotlight to now. Because of the latest fashion "choices" sometimes you forget how beautiful, classy and sexy in a normal way she was for more than two decades. But beside the fashion I miss her natural aura. She had something so special the aura combined with the sweetest smile on earth. When she's with the kids, the smile is back. But if she's with the circus and doing interviews, leaving restaurant there's something what worries me. She doesn't seem happy like she used to be. And that's sad. Like many on this board said, I hope she can "end" this "era" and start something new without the circus. Everything would be better without the clan who seems to encourage this mess.

Dress-gate (76,302) by Andrew from UK Ever one to go against the grain: The Dress. I like it. Now, I think she needs a new stylist and I prefer it when she dresses funky and wears pants, but she looks good here. Credit where credit is due. (Wednesday 14 June 2017; 11:15)

Forbes (76,301) by Nikki from usa I once commented on this eons ago. Forbes can only calculate what is known and reported. Unlike a lot of celebs, MC is quite quiet about how much she makes. J.Lo and Spears made formal announcements about how much they make at Vegas, but MC never dished her digits. The only reason we know how much she made at AI is because Nick blabbed it. Most of Mariah's touring numbers are unknown because she tends to tour overseas and doesn't announce her income. Back in the day, it was common place for performers like Madonna to just have one large entity take over their whole tour promo and her numbers would be announced as she went. Mariah was very unique. She didn't have the same people. Mariah would use different promoters that were native to the land she was touring in. Sometimes, she'd use the same one for both North America and Europe. Other times it was different. Most of Mariah's touring gross reported is only for the times she was in North America like her Charmbracelet Tour. I used to think she did it as a way to save on taxes. In the US, what is made overseas stays overseas unless it's somehow connected to a US business. MC's perfumes from Elizabeth Arden were always reported, but most of her MAC line was sold online.

Article: Mariah Carey spills out of zero underwear dress (76,300) by Gemma from Australia I've been a fan of Mariah's for years and I use to be proud of that but now I'm getting more and more ashamed of this fact, it's so sad. I totally agree with that person, what is Mariah's stylist thinking? Does she even have a stylist anymore? Please stop dressing like a prostitute Mariah, we get you think you're sexy but there's sexy and then there's just plain trashy. (Wednesday 14 June 2017; 07:44)

Re: The changing of expectations (76,293) (76,299) by Malcolm from Asia Agree. I really do hope that this is just a mid life crisis because I can't imagine her telling everyone at the age of 60 that she's still young because she discounts number and she's eternally 12, like that will be ew and so innapropriate anymore. (Wednesday 14 June 2017; 06:15)

Re: Gay icon status (76,258) (76,298) by 123 from USA An icon I say. Lol. On a serious note, what concert did the entertainer get those pre-records from? I really liked them. (Wednesday 14 June 2017; 05:11)
