Re: Refinery 29 article (72,411) (72,415) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I still wonder why Trey, someone Mariah has known longer than anyone else in her current team, didn't allow his face to be shown in MW. I mean hats off to him for not being an attention seeker but it's a mystery. I would love to have series where she's all about the music, no crappy story lines at all, just genuine authentic Mariah, but I feel like the moment she sees the cameras rolling she can't help but become really aware, especially recently (because in the previous documentaries like the one for TEOM and Charmbracelet she didn't seem as concerned about the camera). So yes it's better she drops the idea as a whole, but I get your point, I too would love to see the song writing, recording and producing process with Mariah and her collaborators.

Tour DDV / special (72,414) by Danny from Uk I think a full tour DVD/TV show with a behind the scenes feature would have been much better than Mariah's World. (Thursday 9 February 2017; 12:03)

Nick Cannon (72,413) by Danny from Uk Has NC been eating sour grapes again? (Thursday 9 February 2017; 12:01)

"Mariah's" World (72,412) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Enough of this bull****. A docu-series is supposed to be educational, not some clumsily-pieced together clip show of manufactured, cringe-worthy, unconvincing, badly-acted drama interspersed with glamour shots. If that was truly Mariah's world, no one in the right, non-opportunistic mind will ever want to be a part of it - not with that cult of a family following her around so closely they might as well replace her own shadow. Season 2 can go to the trash if it's just gonna be more of the same crap (which is very likely). (Thursday 9 February 2017; 11:57)

Re: Refinery 29 article (72,409) (72,411) by Luke from United Kingdom I wouldn't want another either but if she does I hope she sees season 1 for the cheese fest that it was and takes the reins. Since she's working on singles it would be good to focus on that and her voice. I'd replace Stella and the rest of the steaming turds for real people that she works with like Trey and Big Jim.

Re: The opinion conundrum (singing) - what would you do? (72,404) (72,410) by darrian liu from taiwan 1. Definitely will go to the radio. It's one thing to be trashed because of tardiness but it's much worse to come off as if you don't care about your fans. That would mean you're ungrateful, and nobody likes ungrateful brats. 2. I would sing live but I think I can do it without being ostracized. I can do a stripped down version of the song that won't require much belting. Anyone could go grab a guitar or a piano and do an acoustic version ala Tori Kelly. Plus, I would probably cover my belting problems with a bunch load of runs. 3. I'd rather lip the worldwide concert. Although it has more publicity, there's more risk of messing up on the worldwide one. I would rather give 40 live moments each year instead of just giving 1 live moment each year. 4. Same answer. 5. Of course the fans would know that I can sing. On the other hand, I would need to convince the world that I can sing. If the whole world knows I can sing, why would the fans know otherwise? So I'd convince the world instead of fans.

Re: Refinery 29 article (72,408) (72,409) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Let's just hope there is no season 2. With season 1 she was adamant it's about the tour and look what we got. Plus she's not even working on a new album, how will she have enough footage of her in the studio? Stella will fill it with more dramatics. (Thursday 9 February 2017; 10:16)

Re: Refinery 29 article (72,397) (72,408) by Luke from United Kingdom Agreed. So happy she said she would prefer another season of MW to lean towards music more. Fingers crossed. (Thursday 9 February 2017; 9:29)

Re: Like a star (72,396) (72,407) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines I love Corinne Bailey Rae. To me she's the best thing that came out of 2006. Her latest album is great, especially Green Aphrodisiac, Horse Print Dress and Do You Ever Think Of Me? But I really can see Mariah pulling off this sultry track, Closer, from her previous album. That is just elegant, mature sexy. (Thursday 9 February 2017; 7:45)

Article: Mariah's ex-husband slams new "love" (72,406) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter "I mean... I think the whole reality show is fake. You can't have a well-lit private conversation, it doesn't happen." And "When you start trying to pull a fast one on people, that s**t is silly. They wrote the story. That s**t is like a soap opera: 'The billionaire doesn't know, and here's the handsome young dancer'," said Cannon is basically what I feel about this whole thing too. Good on Nick to actually say this. Maybe this will finally get to Mariah since all of us collectively yelling won't ever reach her ears. He also seems a little pissed because usually doesn't he say something like "never say never" when asked about getting back with Mariah? Now he's straight up saying he's not into that anymore. Honestly can't blame the dude for this. Mariah is turning herself into a joke day by day. It's so sad to see her be reduced to this mess. (Thursday 9 February 2017; 6:21)

The opinion conundrum (singing) - what would you do? (72,404) by Nikki from usa 1. If you were a singer and you had a jam packed schedule for promo with only an hour or two to spare, but you heard fans at radio stations were begging you to come visit them while you were in town. If you go, there's a good chance you'll be late to your other promo and get trashed for being tardy once again. If you don't go the papers will trash you by claiming you don't care about your fans and the radio stations assume you dissed them. What would you do? 2. You are a professional singer who really wants to prove themselves, but you overestimated your recuperation time. You had 5 great live performances so far, but the last one you were a bit hoarse. The sound of your voice was different than usual and you had trouble hitting some of your notes due to all the belting 2 days beforehand. Gossip is swirling that maybe you can't really sing and everything has been a hoax or lip sync after all. You have a medium sized event coming up that will be televised. Unfortunately, after you fully recovered, your label made you come in to put more impressive vocals on a song you just cut and re-sing the whole thing. Now, your voice is in worse shape than before and the event is tonight. What would you do? Sing live and be ostracized or lip it while people continue to speculate about your ability? 3. If you only had 2 options: sing 1 concert completely live that's syndicated worldwide once a year and lip-sync 40 mini concerts every year or lip-sync 1 worldwide syndicated concert every year and sing 40 mini concerts live. What would you do? 4. Add on - The worldwide concert isn't paid, but the 40 mini concerts are. Now, what? 5. Is it more important for the fans to believe you can sing or the world?

Wow Nick (72,403) by Nikki from usa I can recall twice where Nick said "you never know, there could be a reconciliation" 2 months after their divorce began and once again last year. That's a lot of double talk. However, I do agree with him about Tanaka. I never thought he and Mariah were a couple. Mariah's stiff as a board around him and he's not treated as a significant other. I've never seen a man of Mariah's walk behind her or see Mariah not beam when talking about him. The way she talks about Tanaka isn't romantic. "He has many nice qualities"? Hot. Steamy. I thought she might have a candid moment and we'd get her side of the story, instead we got a fairy tale drama. A bad one. But, like I said before, maybe she legally couldn't discuss it and a made up story is all that could be provided. The way Mariah discussed this docu-series sounded like a behind the scenes of putting on a tour and live performances as if this would be all about the tour. We got very little of that. I think maybe it started out that way, but then Mariah focused more on her impending nuptials instead. When the breakup happened she wasn't left with enough footage to do the original concept. That hurt may have still been a bit too fresh and he clearly made demands about getting cut out of the show. That may not have left a lot of options open. I don't know why Mariah would want to be portrayed as a cheater and if this was thought through I don't think she would've gone through this direction. (Thursday 9 February 2017; 3:53)

Article: Mariah's ex-husband slams new "love" (72,402) by Gigi from USA Well, there goes my hopes of them ever getting back together. (Thursday 9 February 2017; 3:03)

Re: "Lilie's Blues" (72,395) (72,401) by Licia from USA I love this song. I'd love to hear Mariah sing it, but Valarie Pettiford (actress who played the mom) did a great job bringing the song to life. (Thursday 9 February 2017; 3:02)

Nick talking about the fake boyfriend (72,400) by Licia from USA Nick is going to get beat up for telling the truth about what we already know. Lol. He needs to speak out more when it comes to the kids. If they had no kids together or he wasn't active in their life I wouldn't feel that he has any right to say anything, but since his children are involved he has a right to speak on it. He always says he doesn't question her decisions, but clearly this bothers him. *shrugs* (Thursday 9 February 2017; 2:35)

For the radio lovers (72,399) by Ben from Sweden You must check this out. You manuever on the globe and click on the green spots and access radio-channels immedately. It's kinda addicting. (Thursday 9 February 2017; 2:29)

Re: Stella shot down allegations (72,387) (72,398) by Licia from USA Funny how she denies that he's asking for more money and there's no season two yet, but she didn't really deny that he was just brought in as a fake love interest. That'd be the first thing I would deny. (Thursday 9 February 2017; 2:26)

Refinery 29 article (72,397) by RibbonB from USA So good. Mariah was actually witty and rather candid for a change. (Thursday 9 February 2017; 0:41)

Like a star (72,396) by RibbonB from USA I was listening to some old Corinne Bailey Rae and I could just imagine Mariah sinking her vocal chords into this gem. Mariah could be great on an understated downtempo track with superior lyrics. An album of Mariah singing some great covers could be an epic moment. Just singing, no stunts or ties to her personal life could be refreshing. I would love her to intertpret one of Adele's songs as well, "When We Were Young" comes to mind. (Thursday 9 February 2017; 0:18)

"Lilie's Blues" (72,395) by Billy from Greece What a beautiful song and boy would MC sound amazing singing it today. (Thursday 9 February 2017; 0:14)

Re: Weird era (72,386) (72,394) by Gigi from USA That's my concern too. Yes, the video went #1. Heck, even my 64-year-old mother saw it (along with the fishnet gym picture). And guess what? She called me and said, "Honey, I know you like Mariah, but something is seriously wrong with that woman." It was unfortunate to hear, but I can't defend her anymore. Clicks mean nothing. (Wednesday 8 February 2017; 23:38)

Re: The most beautiful era Charmbracelet (72,393) by Sheila from United States The era was beautiful, the tour was soulful and she looked sexy. (Wednesday 8 February 2017; 23:27)

I Don't / the new marketing model (72,392) by Butterfly from "I Don't" is a throwaway. The lyrics are below average. Her tone is not listenable anymore. All I hear is Mariah mumbling her way through songs nowadays. She really needs a vocal recovery which requires stop smoking weed, put the bottle down and rest properly. She should really listen to "Touch My Body" and We Belong Together". Clear, smoothly, natural and tender vocals. I don't think Mariah understands the new marketing model for musicians. It's not about you being all up in the public eye or viral moments (I rather call them embarrassing viral moments). It's about quality and being respected by the people. She really depends on a magnificent image. (Wednesday 8 February 2017; 23:14)

Re: Rat-Pac (72,389) (72,391) by MusicfanJ from Germany Lol. I can see the chemistry. They look like a couple. (Wednesday 8 February 2017; 22:53)
