Re: Glitter or current era - worst of all time (72,663) (72,665) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Thing is they need to make aggressive moves to snatch back her throne but her team just sits there and waits for opportunities to come to them. But that's not going to work because her image is so bad right now that opportunities will be few. However with limited connections on Stella's part, I don't see that happening too. Also Stella is mainly influencing Mariah to do cheesy easy bucks stuff like the reality show, the biopic (which I am already thinking is a bad idea, because I've seen there creative vision with the ID video and MW) and Hallmark movies. These won't really do much for Mariah or her legacy. She's a music icon first and foremost but music seems to be the last thing in their minds right now. (Tuesday 14 February 2017; 19:01)

Re: Kimmel (72,652) (72,664) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Thank you Edward, that was so nice of you. Saw the video and it's adorable. Guillermo is awesome as always haha. (Tuesday 14 February 2017; 18:53)

Re: Glitter or current era - worst of all time (72,654) (72,663) by B from USA Stella must have enough dirt on Mariah to ruin her image to be able to get Mariah to agree to a reality show. I was hoping for an actual tour documentary I didn't even want to see her planning the commitment ceremony or flirting with B. It's a messy era that has made her a joke to the general public. She's going to have to work even harder to repair her image after the reality show and the IG stunts. She needs a new manager ASAP. (Tuesday 14 February 2017; 17:04)

Re: Glitter or current era - worst of all time (72,657) (72,662) by Licia from USA Exactly B. She was everywhere in the beginning of the Glitter era. She did not slow down until she ended up in the hospital. I too am perplexed as to how she was ever lazy during that time. (Tuesday 14 February 2017; 15:48)

Re: 26 million viewers Grammy's missed opportunity (72,650) (72,661) by Shezz from Pk I think we're all assuming the Grammys invited her to perform and she turned them down and went to a party instead. With her current reputation they probably didn't ask her to perform. But when has Mariah been a Grammy staple anyway? She last went for TEOM nominations. Plus according to a Billboard article the original George Michael tribute idea featured Adele, Beyonce and Rhianna but GM's family wanted only Adele to do it. I'm sure Mariah was sadly not even considered although ironically One More Try was one of the songs for the original medley with Beyonce and Rihanna. (Tuesday 14 February 2017; 15:34)

Re: Sad to say (72,651) (72,660) by Cgee54 from Usa The problem is that I think Mariah was never truly respected by the music industry. Even when she realeased Daydream she was snubbed by the Grammys. Sadly she will be respected when she's gone. (Tuesday 14 February 2017; 15:29)

Mariah should have attended the Grammys (72,659) by Jamie from UK I personally [...] MC should have attended the Grammys, it would have raised her profile and show that she still cares about the music industry. Most of the big stars were there, and it would also have opened her eyes to how passionate some of the stars are about their music and performances. It may have instilled in her and made her think you know what I've still got it and I'm gonna prove it to you guys. She may even have got inspiration of new ideas and which direction to go.

Re: Glitter or current era - worst of all time (72,649) (72,657) by B from USA How was Mariah lazy during the Glitter era? She was everywhere doing endless interviews before the breakdown. (Tuesday 14 February 2017; 14:39)

Re: 26 million viewers Grammy's missed opportunity (72,650) (72,656) by B from USA Only because they changed the night of the broadcast. It was no longer up against The Walking Dead. (Tuesday 14 February 2017; 14:38)

Re: Glitter or current era - worst of all time (72,649) (72,654) by Licia from USA Glitter era could never be as bad as this era. She was at least promoting and actually singing in the Glitter era until the exhaustion/breakdown moment. I give her a pass for Glitter because she was in a bad situation and she needed a time out. I'll never ever hold that moment in her life against her.This era gets no passes. There's no excuse for alot of what's been happening. (Tuesday 14 February 2017; 14:03)

Re: Glitter or current era - worst of all time (72,649) (72,653) by Terna from Nigeria You must've not experienced that Glitter era first hand. That era was everything bad, Mariah had been blacklisted passive aggressively by the industry and written off. It was cool to hate on Mariah, you belonged when you hated Mariah. And everything she seemed to do automatically went wrong. A lot can be said about that time, but I'll keep it brief with just this example of Usher saying in an interview "I'm having a Mariah Carey today" he used her name as an adjective for a bad day. Smh. So this era doesn't come close, trust me. (Tuesday 14 February 2017; 13:32)

Re: Kimmel (72,644) (72,652) by Edward from USA Mimi L., I uploaded the parody to my Dropbox for you to watch from your country. (Tuesday 14 February 2017; 13:28)

Sad to say (72,651) by T from USA It's sad to say but I think If Mariah left the business for good after 2010's MCIIY she would be a lot more respected as a legend and better off than she is now. I happen to like the material on MIAMTEC but it didn't help her career in legacy in anyway. Actually the only song I think is worthy of Mariah Carey since 2010 is "Dedicated feat. Nas". In a way I wish she took a five year break after 2010, raised dem babies and came back with "#1's To Dedicate" in 2015. And then she could've retired from active duty and maybe just toured for the rest of her career. Then she would be on a way higher level then she's let herself stoop to now.

26 million viewers Grammy's missed opportunity (72,650) by T from USA This years Grammy's was the highest rated show since 2014 Grammy's. A lot more people watched the Grammy's live than Dick Clark's New Years special. It could've been redemption for Mariah. If her career never gets back on track or she doesn't ever get the respect she lost from New Years, I'll trace it right back to the missed opportunity that was the Grammy's.

Glitter or current era - worst of all time (72,649) by Sheila from United States I'm not sure which era is worst. The two laziest era's and it keeps getting worst. 2017 started out with a poor performance, a dragging by the media and public, [...] fans hating on her, she went bowling instead of doing the [...] tribute, the [...] article. Can this era get any worst. Lets hope the Kimmel performance is live and well rehearsed. (Tuesday 14 February 2017; 12:41)

Grammys (72,648) by Terna from Nigeria I didn't even bother with the show nor performances, Adele as usual swept through the roof with wins as expected (blah). She's still no Mariah Carey, never has, never will. To me the Grammies lost all forms of respect, and credibility the moment they robbed Mariah of her 6 Grammies. Where's Alanis today? Exactly my point, meanwhile the rejected one (Mariah) became the best of the best, a living legend (and the voice of a generation) with a body of work she can firmly boast of as the best that industry will ever see. I'll take that over any Grammy trophies anyday. (Tuesday 14 February 2017; 12:21)

Re: Adele, just wow (72,635) (72,647) by darrian liu from taiwan I agree. Lemonade is amazing when listening on its own but paired with its visuals, all of its cultural context and bold messages came to life. I wish Mariah could do something more like Lemonade. More bold experimentations and less formulaic songs. (Tuesday 14 February 2017; 12:14)

Re: Along the lines of #89 (72,641) (72,646) by Malcolm from Asia I think it's because the song was released in the same week as the Superbowl. There are a lot of Lady Gaga songs that re-entered the Hot 100 so I guess if there was no Superbowl, it charted at 60-70. And after Superbowl, there's the Grammys, so I think it's good that she performs after these huge events. (Tuesday 14 February 2017; 12:08)

Adele's GM tribute song choice - Fastlove (72,645) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Is anybody else as happy as I am with her song choice? It was genius mostly for 2 reasons: First, though its theme (an ode casual sex) may be deemed inappropriate for a tribute, apparently Adele actually chose this song because it was her first memory of hearing George Michael. She put her own orchestral Bond-soundtrack spin to it, which was nice. You could tell this track meant a lot to her. Second, they avoided the obvious/predictable. They could have easily come up with a medley of his hits where most songs likely would have come from the Faith era, but instead they went for one of George's most criminally underrated tracks, which also happens to be his last charting hit in the US. Here's an article explaining other reasons why it was the perfect choice. Fastlove is one of my most favorite GM songs. The track is what expensive sex sounds like in sonic form, which can be quite ironic for a song about hooking-up. And that video was ahead of its time. Bravo, Adele. Once again, RIP to "The Singing Greek". (Tuesday 14 February 2017; 12:05)

Re: Kimmel (72,627) (72,644) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The link doesn't work in my country. But I believe you if you think it's funny. I wish Mariah would do SNL and do some sketches and really show her comedic side. People would like that. (Tuesday 14 February 2017; 11:24)

Kimmel (72,643) by Lee from UK "I Don't" is not a song that should be performed live. I sure hope Mariah does something completely unexpected with it. Make it acoustic or completely change it in some way. I can't believe I'm at that point with Mariah where I am cringing at a performance before it has even happened. This should not be the case. And for the love of the gods, please please please leave the leotards and bodysuits at home. (Tuesday 14 February 2017; 11:17)

Re: Billboard chart (72,629) (72,642) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Apparently the new house Mariah is renting is $100K a month. Oh man. She should just go back to NYC where she has just 1 guest bedroom so that homeless Stella and her family can't use her home as a lodging home. (Tuesday 14 February 2017; 11:17)

Re: Along the lines of #89 (72,632) (72,641) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter This would have charted higher if they'd even bother to so promo, jeez. I just see them inviting radio people and DJs and all but why don't they do these before the release instead of 1 week after? (Tuesday 14 February 2017; 11:14)
