Re: Weird era (72,378) (72,381) by MusicfanJ from Germany I never liked Madonna and her music, it's not my style (except some songs) but Madonna created an image from the beginning and I have to say it suits her. She was always an entertainer. And that's the problem with Mariah now. Most of the people know her as a singer and diva. That created and latest fake image for example the MW "documentary" doesn't suit Mariah and never will. It's the complete opposite of everything that comes in mind when thinking of MC. How can Mariah think Stella is good for her? Crustella is really the most weird one of all. I can imagine she's laughing about Mariah and not only with her. (Wednesday 8 February 2017; 18:04)

Well, well, well (72,380) by RibbonB from USA I hope this particular Tanka story is true that he is demanding a raise to fawn over Mariah on a season two of MW. He supposedly was happy to fawn all over her for the press and free stuff, but now is demanding a big raise to continue for a season 2. He also wants press appearance fees. Just cancel season two, or drop all the sychophants and focus on Mariah, her music and her kids. Better yet, just no season 2. (Wednesday 8 February 2017; 17:44)

Re: Weird era (72,352) (72,379) by RibbonB from USA I have been saying this for months and especially after that "Here comes Santa Clause" video. The "anti moral MCA lamb police" or the "radical moose lambs" want to try to yell down on common sense though. I even got blocked by a few on twitter for commenting on "Snakanaka" carrying Roe on his shoulders last week. That is the most creepy aspect of this whole thing and the most disgusting. People need to get a clue. This casual behavior even if a stunt is not good. Leave the kids out of it. And Stella planting stories that he gets along well with her kids and they are romantic in front of the kids is some of her lowest work ever. (Wednesday 8 February 2017; 17:19)

Re: Weird era (72,375) (72,378) by Malcolm from Asia The scary part of that whole #1 music video thing is Stella might continue doing that kind of rubbish visuals and will just settle to it. Madonna produces more iconic, well-taught, and creative music videos until now, plus interactive and beautiful website and smart marketing and promotional vehicles and this is what Mariah can only give? That's not even about proving her worth because it's true she doesn't have to anymore, it's about showing her professionalism and keep doing her best as an artist. Having a great management is one thing but if the artist doesn't care in all aspects of it, it will eventually be a waste. Kudos to Madonna for being so passionate with her work, sorry but she's such a bad ass. (Wednesday 8 February 2017; 16:40)

Roger Friedman (72,377) by JT from USA Can we talk about this guy? [Webmaster: The rest of this message has been deleted, because it's exactly the same as JT posted yesterday.] (Wednesday 8 February 2017; 16:23)

Re: Thirsty (72,358) (72,376) by Terna from Nigeria You can pass your point across without name calling. And F.Y.I Stella has beautiful kids. You may not like them, but call a spade a spade, her daughters are beautiful. Go get glasses. (Wednesday 8 February 2017; 15:54)

Re: Weird era (72,361) (72,375) by Mara from United States Well the fact that the video went to number 1 was all the verification that Stella needed to prove to MC that she is doing her job right. She leaked this wedding dress story to TMZ that did nothining but get MC dragged by people in every comment section I read, but hey - it got the video clicks and therefore got the video to number one. So the party and the cake pics we saw all were in celebration of that same mindset where Mishka posted that pic of Mariah that Stella was so happy went viral. That is where we are at and that is what MC is being fed right now. Probably why there is no new album in the works either. How can she have any time to get into that creative space with all these people around all the time. Does Mishka even do homeschooling? This child should not even be let in these clubs at these hours with no kids her age ever. It's all so bizarre. But as I said, bad story? MC's image getting more tarnished? Who cares if there were so many other places Mariah could have put a $250,000 wedding dress. It got people talking and interested in the video and that is where this group of people are going to take Mariah. She is going to remind Mariah there is no money in albums anymore and if you noticed in one of her recent interviews where she talks just doing singles, she almost lets it slip that there isn't money in albums, but catches herself and says but of course she will always be back to the music because that is who she is. (Wednesday 8 February 2017; 15:53)

Re: MC copied Whitney and Aretha's runs (72,332) (72,374) by Terna from Nigeria Mariah does runs much more complicated than Aretha and Whitney (Vision Of Love, Lead The Way, Mariah's Theme) without overdoing it. And she's very unique in her vocal tone, delivery and technique. I think Morgan is just bitter. (Wednesday 8 February 2017; 15:42)

Re: Morgan (72,353) (72,373) by Malcolm from Asia How messy her family is, it's just sad. No wonder why she's always been eccentric. I just hope she have other best friends that we don't really see in public like a relationship that she always have the communication besides Roc n Roe, because if not, that is the saddest part of all. (Wednesday 8 February 2017; 14:39)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey's bad weekend record sales (72,362) (72,372) by B from USA Roger is jealous he's no longer getting the 411 on Mariah. In four days I Don't has more YouTube views than Almost Home and You're Mine (Eternal) which means it's connecting with people. (Wednesday 8 February 2017; 13:51)

Re: Morgan (72,370) (72,371) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Licia if you do happen to go forward with that karate chop situation, can we please get a video? Haha, kidding kidding. But yes, I'm also curious how things went so sour. I always thought Mariah and Morgan were really close and she used to talk about him a lot in her previous interviews. It's a shame things went bad. Mariah seems to be alone in a crowd. She's constantly surrounded by people and think that's her security blanket but none of them are really helping her. Her mom is mostly out of the picture so she is basically a member of the Bulochnikov family. I try not to talk about how she should bring her kids up because that's none of my business but I wish she'd not have them around a 12 year old who drinks and swears and acts like an entitled brat and a 10 year old who will soon do the same. (Wednesday 8 February 2017; 13:22)

Re: Morgan (72,365) (72,370) by Licia from USA I'm more concerned with what happened to make him turn on her. The change of feelings for his sister was so abrupt. They were really close (according to Mariah) at one point. One minute she was doing tweet advertisements for him and then the next minute he's selling her out. I have four sisters and I'd like to karate chop all of them in the neck every once in awhile over alot of things, but there's nothing that would make me do or say any of the things that he has against Mariah. (Wednesday 8 February 2017; 12:54)

Are I Don't remixes coming? (72,369) by Sheila from United States Lets hope she re-sings the vocals and makes it a moment. (Wednesday 8 February 2017; 12:51)

Re: Weird era (72,327) (72,368) by Norman from USA Great question, Danny. I'd say the weirdest thing about this whole journey so far has been keeping Stella around. At the end of the day this is a business, and Stella has proven herself ill prepared to manage any aspect of Mariah's career. I know most of us wonder why Stella is still around despite all the mishaps during her watch that were her call (at the very least her strong suggestion). There's something that Anthony B. said in episode 1 of MW that struck a cord with me about Stella and her management style: "When you continue to cut from the things that are important for the production, it cheapens it." She's certainly not helping retain or improve the brand recognition. (Wednesday 8 February 2017; 12:44)

I don't (72,367) by Carlos from Brazil I know it is still too soon to say something about the song being a hit, but so far the single is almost completing one week within the iTunes top 100. The song is at #70 and seems to be stabilized. The radio needs to start playing it. The streaming is what worries me. It didn't break the one million mark yet. (Wednesday 8 February 2017; 12:44)

Re: Weird era (72,360) (72,366) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Honestly, everything has been so bizarre in Mariah's life the past 2 years, we should change the question to "what's the least weird thing according to you in Mariah's life in the past 2 years". (Wednesday 8 February 2017; 11:24)

Re: Morgan (72,353) (72,365) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I too think that Mariah doesn't owe Morgan or Alison anything. Morgan did help her out in the beginning and I'm sure he has been financially compensated for that. I don't blame Mariah for cutting them off after they'd repeatedly tried to come for her publicly. (Wednesday 8 February 2017; 11:21)

Re: Billboard update (72,351) (72,364) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I read that and I was like oh no, is this what she wrote with Crystal? I mean I like the song but I was hoping for a stronger, maybe more fun song with Crystal like TMB. (Wednesday 8 February 2017; 11:17)

Re: Weird era (72,348) (72,363) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I'd love for her and Bruno to do a song in the same vein as "Uptown Funk" and YDKWTD. It would be great. I'm really craving an up tempo fun dance song from Mariah. (Wednesday 8 February 2017; 11:14)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey's bad weekend record sales (72,345) (72,362) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter No lies detected. Mishka's production skill is next level, you all aren't even ready for this. Hold on to your scalp, because y'all are about to get scalped with the fire remix. (Wednesday 8 February 2017; 11:11)

Re: Weird era (72,343) (72,361) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter It wasn't the real dress, here is a side by side of the real dress versus the one she wore on the video. It's not even close, the color, the cut, the type, the work, nothing at all. Yet they knowingly leaked this fake story as if it would help Mariah's image. This is one of the more solid proofs about how much Mariah's new team make up false stories for who knows what because none of these portray her in a good light. Stella seems to only be able to pick up ratchet drama and Mariah for whatever reason is just going with it. I can't believe the day has come when her image has been reduced to non sense fake drama. Like I can't wrap my head around it, what's their end game? They can't seem to take on step without fabricated drama, but none that is actually helping them. MW was supposed to make people feel like they misunderstood Mariah and how she is actually different, instead it has further bloated up the diva reputation. (Wednesday 8 February 2017; 11:07)

Re: Weird era (72,327) (72,360) by darrian liu from taiwan MW is the most bizarre thing to come out of this wacky era. (Wednesday 8 February 2017; 8:43)

Re: MC copied Whitney and Aretha's runs (72,332) (72,359) by darrian liu from taiwan Mariah's runs are definitely not copied from Whitney and Aretha. Mariah's runs are usually flowery, long and complex (not just in the melody, but her trademark transitions from chest to head, head to chest, chest to whistle, head to whistle). Her runs are also marked by its clarity and precision. Aretha's runs, while complex, tend to be less flowery and more soulful. Whitney's runs are usually shorter and less complex, although I believe she can do more complex runs. There's a reason Mariah is one of the few coloraturas in pop music. Aretha and Whitney aren't close to being coloratura. So while Mariah is inspired by Nippy and Aretha, she definitely doesn't copy their runs. (Wednesday 8 February 2017; 8:41)

Thirsty (72,358) by Danny from Uk Random fact - Mariah went back in time and wrote Thirsty for Stella and her frog spawn. (Wednesday 8 February 2017; 8:01)

This era is "just for laughs" (72,357) by Geronimo from USA I remember when Mariah used to sing "Lullaby of bird land". A couple of times she ended the song by saying "it's just for laughs". She put on a really old school cute face when she said it as if she wanted you to know that she wanted you to know she was laughing with both sincerity and irony. Now she's having fake relationships with billionaires, doing reality shows faux-cheating with a dancer young enough to be her son (I think) and releasing a song where she plays the victim while everyone watched her cheat on the scripted TV show. She has decided to entertain us and take all of our self righteous gasping and befuddled pearl clutching to the bank because she has always worked toward making a living as an entertainer and has been doing so brilliantly for 27 years. If she put out the greatest R&B record or the greatest pop record the world has ever seen tomorrow it wouldn't sell more than the worst album of this year put out by whoever the media gods have blessed this current moment. Somehow Mariah Carey has managed to amass an eight or nine digit fortune by entertaining people for the past 27 years. Despite some eyebrow raising and head scratching moments I would say she is doing just fine as long as she's laughing too. (Wednesday 8 February 2017; 6:35)
