Vanity Fair (72,559) by B from USA Packer used Mariah for fame. (Sunday 12 February 2017; 20:17)

Responses to Andrew's post (72,557) by Robby from Chicago USA I said this before and I am saying this again, if you keep reading and responding to his posts, you are just putting yourself in a very upsetting position. He is a provocative individual, that's what he does. We all know how he feels towards Mariah (pretending to be a lamb but is actually a wolf) but we can't keep him away nor ask the webmaster to block him because that's not the essence of freedom of expression. Let him say/posts anything he wants but if everyone ignores it, his pathetic ass will eventually get tired. (Sunday 12 February 2017; 18:46)

Re: New radio call in (72,547) (72,556) by Edward from USA I don't think any woman should be subjected to being harassed just because she dresses a certain way, but Mariah isn't just any woman, she's a woman in the music business, and she very well knows that everything she does would be magnified and scrutinized. When Mariah showed the power of her voice and her song-writing skills, people talked about that. People will talk about what she shows them, including over-exposed boobs, and diva antics. Now, when she keeps giving boobs galore, she shouldn't be surprised when a comment is made about them, as Bill said, nobody would say that shit to Celine or even Janet, heads would roll. The problem here is that there's no balance in Mariah's World anymore. If she were giving great music with decent videos, things would balance themselves out. Mariah nowadays is known for her diva antics and her boobs exposure. Add to that her clearly fake reality show and you have a huge Joke in the making. Back when Mariah was a force to be reckoned with, some DJ's were fired for making derogatory comments about her and the fans that would call requesting her music. Such thing wouldn't happen anymore. Everybody from Michael, Whitney, Toni and George Michael were heavily talked about, but they were stars and they knew there was a price to pay for fame. It's frightening to see Mariah in some of those pictures, not because of her looks alone, but because there's something in face that shows a woman that is unstable. She can control what we see and how perceive her. When she has a 12-year old taking pics of you almost naked and as high as a kite or drunk as a skunk, what does she think people would talk about? It's not like people are sneaking into into her bathroom secretly snatching pictures of her boobs and ass. If you want to be private and enjoy your life like any other mortal, do not pursue being a celebrity. Just like there's an industry where celebrities made lots of money based on their celebrity status, there's an industry that makes lots of money talking about them (how they dress, how they act, what they say, who they hang out with, the comments they make).

Mariah doing George Michael tribute? (72,555) by Ty from USA Let's hope since she was a big fan she does it and sounds perfect I'm hoping for greatness. (Sunday 12 February 2017; 16:54)

Re: Just a thought (72,546) (72,554) by Malcolm from Asia Oh I thought they credited The Emotions for it. Well, that's probably the reason why Mariah didn't take legal actions about what Ariana did. Her team is smart then, like I can imagine that they really study Mariah for Ariana. I want to believe that all of that was her label's idea, they really dig deep to use Mariah as a vehicle for Ariana's stardom and I also believe that Ariana was a sincere Mariah fan back then, it's just that she played along with it to shaped her to be in the same category as Mariah and I think the comparisons somewhat made her diva antics acceptable this early in her career. Before I believe that Mariah really have no idea who Ariana was, but now, I think it's impossible that she didn't heard the things Ariana and her label did and I think that's really the reason why she seems cold about Ariana and not solely about that "Ariana is the new Mariah" like it's deeper than that.

Re: Possible blessing in disguise (72,531) (72,553) by B from USA Let's pray. I wouldn't mind Stella if she wasn't Mariah's manager. She'd work better as Mariah's coproducer of TV properties that Mariah doesn't star in. Write the concepts and direct but don't step in front of the camera unless you have a talented director with the right script and now more reality TV. (Sunday 12 February 2017; 15:47)

Re: New radio call in (72,547) (72,552) by Luke from United Kingdom That just doesn't sit well with me lol. What you're implying is we should all conform and dress a certain way so nobody says anything offensive to us? That women in particular should stay covered up so as to avoid sexual remarks or advances from men? I didn't realise we still lived in the 19th century. (Sunday 12 February 2017; 15:46)

You will reap what you sow (72,551) by Ardis Logic from Earth Some of you might know who Dave Chappelle is. If not, he is a very funny comedian. He talked about this in one of his shows. "Wait a minute, just a minute. Just because I'm dressed this way does not make me a whore." Which is true, gentlemen, that is true. Just because they dress a certain way doesn't mean they are a certain way. Don't even forget it. But ladies, you must understand that is [censored] confusing. It just is. Now that would be like me, Dave Chappelle, the comedian, walking down the street in a cop uniform. Somebody might run up on me saying, "Oh, thank God. Officer, help us. Come on. They're over here. Help us." "Oh-hoh. Just because I'm dressed this way does not make me a police officer." See what I mean? All right, ladies, fine. You are not a whore. But you are wearing a whore's uniform.

Re: New radio call in (72,545) (72,550) by Andrew from UK I think you're right in the sense that adding it on to the end of an interview in which you kissed ass is bad form. If you don't like someone just tell them. Don't entrap them. (Sunday 12 February 2017; 15:23)

Mariah on the record (72,549) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Here is an old interview of Mariah with Fuse. 1) I like how the interviewer really knows her catalogue. Usually people just know the hits. He also asks good questions with a good balance between personal and professional stuff. 2) I miss interviews were Mariah properly answers questions and takes the interviews seriously and where we'd actually know what she's actually on the show for. Nowadays it's all diva act, dodging questions, going off tangent and rambling on, or looking bored and annoyed. I like how she talks about her songwriting process and how she came up with some of her songs and who inspired her. She is so articulate and humble here. 3) She actually says "I'm a grown up" haha, this is so rare. 4) One thing she mentions here possibly explains Mariah's situation. She says she "hates being the boss" and how she hates telling people what to do. She does say she is very hands on about making decision despite hating it. I think over the years she stopped that too and since she hates being the boss, she possibly finds it difficult to get rid of the leeches that seem to always find her.

Re: New radio call in (72,547) (72,548) by Andrew from UK I guess the point is: if you don't act classy, you can't expect people to treat you classy? I don't expect people on this board to tip toe around me because I'm extremely forthright. To be offended would be beyond comprehension. The voice and the bad songs aside, I could forgive a lot if she would just act like the person she used to be. I don't buy into "this is her". No way. She used to have class. [censored] knows where it went. That is not Mariah Carey in that video. It's an imposter. (Sunday 12 February 2017; 15:22)

Re: New radio call in (72,545) (72,547) by Bill from the UK I agree she shouldn't be on the receiving end of such comments, but then she's bought it entirely on herself and should not be surprised or offended when people say things like that to her. If he had said the same comment to Celine Dion, everybody would be appalled. Mariah? Not so much. You reap what you sow. (Sunday 12 February 2017; 14:34)

Re: Just a thought (72,532) (72,546) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Another blatant copy is the "Oh Baby, oh baby" part from Mariah's "Secret Love". Ariana's song "Baby I" basically took that part and made it the chorus. But no that's probably not the reason. Mariah's hate from Ariana comes from the "Ariana is the new Mariah", "Ariana is a younger Mariah" comparisons and how Ariana and her team basically lifted Mariah's style for Ariana's first album. They even pushed the "new Mariah" thing as a promo tool. (Sunday 12 February 2017; 13:43)

Re: New radio call in (72,543) (72,545) by Luke from United Kingdom There's no need for comments like that though, especially during an interview. So what if she wants to flaunt her body and be proud of what she has. I don't think she should have to change herself or alter the way she dresses just to stop men making degrading comments like that to her. (Sunday 12 February 2017; 13:19)

Re: Just a thought (72,532) (72,544) by Bill from the UK That's no different to Mariah not giving any credit for using Best Of My Love (Emotions) and I Want To Thank You (Make It Happen) samples without permission. She's not exactly in a position to cast the first stone. (Sunday 12 February 2017; 12:41)

Re: New radio call in (72,530) (72,543) by Bill from the UK Andrew does have a point. How Mariah has the audacity to be offended when somebody calls out the very thing she's been shoving in our faces since she first strutted down the theatre aisle in that pink crop top in the Heartbreaker video is beyond me. She paid money to have them enhanced, and even had them out on display when performing at a funeral, for heaven's sake. If she wants people to focus on the music and her songwriting, then make her music and songwriting the focus. (Sunday 12 February 2017; 12:39)

Re: "The Roof" video (72,536) (72,542) by Bill from the UK The Roof is one of her greatest videos. All the videos from the Butterfly album were excellent, but there was something extra special about the atmosphere this one in particular created. The shots in the limo, the flashbacks, out in the rain... beautiful. (Sunday 12 February 2017; 12:34)

Re: Mariah isn't hard to love, lambs are iffy (72,533) (72,540) by Licia from USA Lambs aren't iffy. Some of us just know she's more than capable of producing better material than she has been. Alot of the songs on MIAM prove that. (Sunday 12 February 2017; 11:37)

Re: Possible blessing in disguise (72,531) (72,539) by Licia from USA This is something we've all said. It's a great opportunity for both Mariah and Lionel. Hopefully her and her team can handle this situation like professionals. Mariah won't be the only artist affected if her team screws up. (Sunday 12 February 2017; 11:32)

Re: Possible blessing in disguise (72,531) (72,538) by Gigi from USA This is my hope. Although, I think Stella should be cut out of her life completely. (Sunday 12 February 2017; 11:21)

Re: "The Roof" video (72,525) (72,537) by Licia from USA I have to say I enjoy the video more than the actual song. (Sunday 12 February 2017; 11:17)

Re: "The Roof" video (72,525) (72,536) by MusicfanJ from Germany That's one of my all-time favorites. I love how she looked in it and the colours. The story with the flashback of the early 80ies is a nice idea. The song and video are pure Mariah. I even like the rap-part in the video. (Sunday 12 February 2017; 11:17)

Mariah' s top 5 best and worst singles (72,535) by Giovanni from USA 1. Vision of love 2. Emotions 3. Dreamlover 4. We belong together 5. Beautiful (still my last fav from our Mariah) 1. The roof (sorry lambs but I hate this song) 2. Touch my body 3. Obsessed 4. You're mine 5. Infinity (no,just no) (Sunday 12 February 2017; 10:20)

Another party with radio people (72,534) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So Mimi hosted another party this time at her place where a lot of radio people were invited. I love the jacket she's wearing and hoping for some better quality pictures. This is a full length shot of the ensemble. She looks great. The dress is nice. A close up moment. So this is the second party (as far as we know) like this within a few days where she's hanging out with radio personalities. However the promo for ID has almost died down, so I'm thinking this may be advance promo lined up for the single she said is coming this March? (Sunday 12 February 2017; 10:11)
