New album (74,366) by B from USA I hope Mariah's learned from the lackluster responses to You're Mine, Infinity, and I Don't that people are tired of her uninspired midtempo R&B jams. We want songs like Honey, The Roof, Breakdown, Side Effects, I'm That Chick, Meteorite, Make It Look Good, and #Beautiful. Mariah write lyrics like you did during the Daydream and Butterfly eras. No more product placements or slang. Work with Happy Perez and Miguel, they seamlessly updated your signature sound and it scored you your last hit single. Also enlist David Morales, David Foster, and Diane Warren. Start listening to mainstream R&B and Pop radio so you'll know what will click with audiences and what won't. And hire an A-list manager to manage your music career, Stella is a reality show producer with no real credentials. Keep her on to run your joint production company or give it to her as a parting gift. (Tuesday 11 April 2017; 02:16)

Re: New deal (74,359) (74,365) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Good Lord you had me laughing so hard. That would go 7x platinum for sure. TEOM who? We'll probably have a platinum edition re-release with bonus tracks: 1) Empower Your Girls (but throw shade anyways remix) 2) Stink You Up (Stella's unwashed leather jacket dub) (Tuesday 11 April 2017; 01:53)

Re: New album (74,355) (74,364) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter My biggest concern is the roll out because usually Mariah's albums are always solid so I'm sure the material will be fine but all her recent roll outs have been so freaking messy and drama filled. However regarding material, I do have a concern now, because just 2 months back she said that she doesn't plan on releasing an album soon and that she will only release singles for now, and just a few weeks later we get this news. I am overjoyed there is an album coming but I don't want it to be a rush. She has some time off now for a short time but she'll be on the road and Vegas again soon so will she really have enough time? (Tuesday 11 April 2017; 01:46)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey's "new deal" is her old deal, reiterated (74,353) (74,363) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Or Stella "Bollocks-fudgeoff" (I would have used the four lettered F word but it would get censored, so we shall stick to the child friendly version).

Article: Mariah Carey's "new deal" is her old deal, reiterated (74,362) by jaker20 from US It's true though. She's released nothing in the last 7 years, or at least something non lambs know about without googling it. It's been trainwreck after trainwreck but fans refuse to accept it for what it is. I think she has no more creativity left, it's all gone down to booze and touching her hair. Surprsing because Madonna had a no.1 when she was in her 40s and Cher her bigger song ever in her 50s. MC needs to realize it's not all about Pamela Anderson-like drama and flings with dudes half her age, she has to deliver too. I'm not even expecting songs with high notes, just proper songs whatever they maybe. MC's problems right now is herself. (Tuesday 11 April 2017; 01:27)

Re: New deal (74,359) (74,361) by Licia from USA Lmao. That tracklisting is kind of hot. TEOM part 2 is on the way. I'm laughing so hard I can't even think of a bonus track to add. (Tuesday 11 April 2017; 00:50)

Re: New announcement (74,356) (74,360) by Licia from USA I'll definitely take that as well. Stunt free music with great videos to match. (Tuesday 11 April 2017; 00:43)

Article: Mariah Carey fires back at publicist (74,358) by Will from England I think this was the first time Stella's name ever came up. Little did we know back then how we'd come to dislike that name. (Tuesday 11 April 2017; 00:15)

Roger (74,357) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Mr Showbiz 411 has egg on his face because he just said Mariah and Epic were going to part ways as she was being dropped. Well will you look at God not only did she not get dropped she entered into her very own joint venture. Sounds to me like Roger is bitter with Mariah for some reason I believe that this is because she no longer works with his dear friend Cindi Berger. (Tuesday 11 April 2017; 00:09)

Re: New announcement (74,351) (74,356) by RibbonB from USA I will be happy for stunt free music after these past two years. (Monday 10 April 2017; 23:59)

New album (74,355) by Jono from USA If, and that's a big if, there is a new album coming out later this year, it will have to be well planned and executed. No more delays and pushbacks. Especially now in this social media generation, you have to build and capitalize on hype in a much shorter time period. Even delaying something by more than a couple of weeks will kill any momentum. So what I would much rather Mariah do is to make sure everything is set in place, and to not give an exact release date until she is absolutely sure she can deliver. I need a TEOM rollout style, but upgraded to match the current times. That era was absolutely fire because not only was the material hot, but the preparation and execution was on point. She needs to surround herself with people who understand the music marketing and how it functions in today's society. That being said, I am always looking forward to new Mariah music.

Article: Mariah Carey's "new deal" is her old deal, reiterated (74,354) by Jono from USA "She has a great voice. She's never recorded an album that shows off that voice properly. She needs a real producer, real songs, real arrangements. She has to surprise the world by showing she's [a] vocalist, and not just a pin up who can hit a high note." I was on board with this article until here. It's clear that this supposed journalist didn't do their research. All of her albums have always showcased the many layers and timbres to her voice. She did not adopt a sexy image until 1997 Butterfly. The world knows that she has an incredible voice, because that's what made her famous. The issue has been her recent material, which is subpar by her astronomical standards, as well as her bad performances that have made headline news. It's clear this supposed journalist is angry about the way the manager treated them, but taking it out on Mariah with lies is not the way to retaliate. (Monday 10 April 2017; 23:39)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey's "new deal" is her old deal, reiterated (74,333) (74,353) by Licia from USA Actually he's not eating crow if what he's saying is true. Anyway I don't care if it's a new deal or an old deal, I'm just glad she may be back to taking the music seriously and we'll get an album. The only thing I didn't like is him saying she's never recorded an album that has showcased her voice. Where the the hell was he at when the first 7 or 8 albums came out? She did nothing but showcase her voice. Come on Roger. I can understand him not liking her more hip hop songs, but to act as if she's never used her voice on earlier albums is ludicrous. Hell even though Glitter had some rap on it, she still gave us vocals for days. On a funnier note, I died when he said Stella Whatchamacallit. I think I'll refer to Stella as Stella Whoseitwhatsit from now on. Lol. (Monday 10 April 2017; 23:01)

Re: Art of Letting Go (74,331) (74,352) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Lol Mimi, I don't think she meant that she was literally covered from head to toe at all times. She has a big personality we know she can exaggerate. I took it more like her image and what she was wearing was constantly and issue or a topic of much heated conversation/debate/scrutiny. Like knowing a certain type of outfit would be an issue. In order to avoid potential conflict, she wound up choosing to do things she really didn't want to, or wearing stuff that wouldn't have been her choice, to "keep the peace" and not "make waves". Inevitably, though when you stifle yourself in order to please people, there comes a breaking point where you can't do it anymore. Certainly not without building up some unresolved feelings around it. Notice I said choice. I don't think it's as simple as Tommy is a "bad guy" I think it's complicated with a lot of stuff going on. Mariah was very young at the time as well. People evolve. (Monday 10 April 2017; 22:50)

Re: New announcement (74,332) (74,351) by Licia from USA Now Ribbon you're going too far. I still need my rap remixes. Lol I get what you're saying though. Having a regular, rap, and dance version of some of her songs worked really well back in the day. We all got something we wanted. (Monday 10 April 2017; 22:34)

Re: Art of Letting Go (74,341) (74,350) by Licia from USA I don't know about the undergarments being red, but she did say in an interview or article that there was to be a scene in the VOL video of her in a bra, but Tommy made them take the scene out. (Monday 10 April 2017; 22:30)

Re: Insta (74,348) (74,349) by Licia from USA I've always said she should have given that ring back. There's really no point in her continuing to wear it. If JP is as crazy as they tried to make him out to be, there's no way I'd still have or be wearing that ring. I agree that no other man would be ok with her still wearing an engagement ring from someone else. Andrew you know she liked the attention that she got whether it was good or bad. (Monday 10 April 2017; 22:25)

Re: Insta (74,343) (74,348) by Andrew from UK What's totally strange is that Mariah still wears the ring in the first place. I'm not sure people are looking at it in awe, they're looking at it wondering what kind of person wouldn't have given it back, considering the circumstances in which it was given. Or at least have taken the bloody thing off and put it in a safe. Again, really not sure Mariah is compos mentis when it comes to the chasm between the way she probably wants to be perceived and how she actually is. (Monday 10 April 2017; 21:57)

Article: Mariah Carey launches Butterfly MC Records (74,346) by Mushaakiss from UAE I hope this doesn't turn out like her previous attempts aka Crave Records and MonarC. I liked the name MonarC better though. (Monday 10 April 2017; 21:30)

New label (74,345) by Will from England I wonder if this could be tied to her plan to release stand alone singles, even well beyond the current album that has been announced. So instead of releasing singles through Epic, and catching them by surprise, she can do so through her own label. Could be a term that was part of the new contract negotiations that they won't release, so Epic is protecting themselves from any more single flops, and can focus funding her new album alone. (Monday 10 April 2017; 21:03)

Re: Love of her life: Jeter? Luis Miguel? Nick? (74,339) (74,344) by RibbonB from USA Wow we may finally have new music and you come in with this nonsense again. Only she knows who that is or was, if she even knows. SMH. (Monday 10 April 2017; 19:55)

Re: Insta (74,338) (74,343) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I don't think any real boyfriend would be down with their significant other wearing a ring with which their partner was engaged to another man. Had it been a random gift, like the necklace Mariah currently always wears (which is also a gift from James) then that's fine but I don't think the ring situation would be fine with anyone. Unless you are the boyfriend on her payroll. (Monday 10 April 2017; 19:54)

Re: Butterfly MC Records (74,336) (74,342) by RibbonB from USA True, if Stellar is involved, big red flag. Stella has already attached to All I Want For Christmas, now she is trying to attach to all M. music going forward. Sigh. I just hope if Stellar is involved that Mariah feels empowered to keep her at more of a distance and in a box, away from all of Mariah's private time and there to feed off of her vulnerabilities. Mariah needs to get in full survival mode and cut off the vampire Stella. (Monday 10 April 2017; 19:54)
