Streaming I Don't is free, lets all stream tonight (72,330) by Sheila from United States It will help Mariah, even if you lambs don't purchase the song, a stream may help the queen. (Tuesday 7 February 2017; 19:59)

Boomerang (72,329) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The latest Boomerang on MC's insta is really good and I love her adorable outfit in it. I wish she'd dress casual like this on her days off. She looks so nice and youthful. (Tuesday 7 February 2017; 19:41)

Re: Weird era (72,327) (72,328) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The weirdest thing is definitely Mariah hiring Stella. Why would an A-list music legend hire a reality show producer with zero background of the music industry (which is Mariah's main profession) as her manager? I could understand if she took a liking to Stella and became friends with her or even give her a small role in her career, but to hire this woman as her manager and then allow her to basically surround Mariah's personal and professional life with only people from Stella's circle is the weirdest thing ever. It's like Stella sucked Mariah into her cult. (Tuesday 7 February 2017; 19:38)

Weird era (72,327) by Danny from Uk Does anyone else think the whole last 12 months of so have been a weird era? The whole James Packer "moment", tour, instagram pics, Tanaka, NYE and odd single releases and then Mariah's World. There have been some good moments like the tour etc but overall I've found it very weird but not in a good way if that makes sense. What's your weirdest moment from the era? I think for me it's random Tanaka. (Tuesday 7 February 2017; 18:52)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey's bad weekend record sales (72,322) (72,326) by RibbonB from USA Actually I saw Mariah say that on Access last night on the red carpet of the Lego movie lol. About things being cyclical, happy and "sad". (Tuesday 7 February 2017; 18:40)

Re: "I Don't" understand it (72,324) (72,325) by RibbonB from USA Drake is about the only one of those who could have a really great impact with Mariah. Jay Z is too busy and Bouncy would not even allow that not with her twins on the way, lol. Lil Wayne though? Ugh. He is gross and is he even relevant these days? (Tuesday 7 February 2017; 18:36)

Re: "I Don't" understand it (72,319) (72,324) by Edward from USA "Why You Mad" was the remix for "Infinity". She threw in the mix as many rappers as she could plus one Beiver. The Beiver was having a great career resurgence at that time, but it was a lost opportunity because the song was garbage. It was so bad that it wasn't ever officially released, so we can pretend it never happened. Andy is a dear co-poster here who's very passionate about Mariah. He loves "Right to Dream" so much that I call it "Andy's Theme". I want to make clear that I don't have anything against rappers. I just think that if she's going to use one at this stage in your career, she should use great and well known ones. Let them give that push to your career that you used to give to to theirs, it's only fair. I wish for proper collabo with Drake, Ludacris, JZ, Little Wayne. Bring it big.

Most recent ET interview (72,323) by Chicago Lamb from USA Can someone post the most recent, full Entertainment Tonight interview? (Tuesday 7 February 2017; 18:15)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey's bad weekend record sales (72,305) (72,322) by RibbonB from USA Licia, Mariah said in her little ET interview that things are cyclical. She finally sees that people are happy then sad then over again. When she is finally no longer happy with this team, or when they fall away from her she will make changes. Since they are leeches, it will probably take a while. She does not seem to have learned how to go through these cycles with the same man or team though. Not unlike many of us in our daily lives, but she is just living hers in public. The manufacturing of facts though is distasteful and cause for alarm or concern to many. (Tuesday 7 February 2017; 17:24)

Re: I don't (72,318) (72,321) by May from Denmark Not even Mariah and her team know. Unless they are playing the fools and suddenly come up with a surprise. So far it's being decided if she is going to sing it on the Lionel's tour or what. I say she should go to Ellen and for once sing a song in a sketch on the show. Every time they get together it's so funny. It's been said Mariah is preparing a new song for March, so I don't believe they will do much with "I don't". (Tuesday 7 February 2017; 17:12)

Re: How is the video #1 on US iTunes? (72,309) (72,320) by RibbonB from USA The video is at number 2 because many of the people who bought the single are probably now buying the video as well, along with the pubescent boys and others who are just buying the video. The video will have longer legs because of the visuals. Miss Gaga now has 5 songs in the top ten iTunes video chart on the strength of her Superbowl performance and she has knocked Mimi out of number one. (Tuesday 7 February 2017; 17:12)

Re: "I Don't" understand it (72,316) (72,319) by Jamie from UK Do you have a copy of Andy's Theme and Why You Mad? Could you email me? Thanks. (Tuesday 7 February 2017; 16:48)

I don't (72,318) by Ayub from USA Hello Lambs, I've never commented here before. Can someone please tell me what's next for I Don't? (Tuesday 7 February 2017; 16:36)

Article: Mariah Carey's bad weekend record sales (72,317) by JT from USA Listen, Roger What's-His-Name used to be friendly with Mariah and give her incredibly positive coverage. That's all changed, clearly because she's not kissing his a$$ anymore. The guy badmouths her every chance he gets and, while I'm not going to argue about "I Don't" because I don't care for it, he's acting like a petulant child over this, one who's trying to get even with someone who wouldn't play with him in the sandbox. On another note, his knowledge of the music industry is lacking and the articles he writes about the industry are embarrassing. And his site is a mess - he frequently writes stories that are mostly wrong and then contradicts them the next day in a different article, because, well, the guy is a mess. Finally, the site is riddled with typos and errors. Oh, and he refuses to post any reader comments that are negative or correct him - I've commented on his stories often and never once has he allowed one to go on the site. He used to have a pretty good career at Fox News until he was fired for doing something incredibly stupid and unethical - google it. All in all, I kind of feel sorry for him.

"I Don't" understand it (72,316) by Edward from USA Comparing "My Love", "Almost Home", "100%", "Help Me Make It" and "Andy's Theme" to "Infinity", "Why You Mad", "Infamous" and "I Don't", one can actually see how the quality of the music is going downhill. I think "Almost Home" is the closest she's been to her glory days in terms of vocal delivery. As many of us have said, Mariah's going to have to fall on her ass several times before she realizes that she needs to do something different. And I'm not necessarily talking about her changing her sound by selling her soul to EDM, I'm talking about crafting a great songs and stop with the rent-a-rapper formula that is obviously not working. I don't care if she keeps putting soft-core porn videos. One of the frustrations many of us have is the fact that Mariah as a person plus Mariah as the artist were very true to us. The woman behind "Looking In" and "Outside" was real to us. She had the money, she was famous, yet she was still true and relatable. Now what she sings, however deep, is not believable to many. MW could've been used to actually paint a different picture from the one we see, but it only made things worse by showing a Mariah who basically cheats and lies. And for what, for the sake of money? I won't ever understand it. (Tuesday 7 February 2017; 15:43)

Re: Would you rather? (72,313) (72,315) by darrian liu from taiwan I would rather for Mariah to have another number one. A big, undeniably popular number one will give her that confidence we saw in 2005, and knowing Mariah, she'll be able to follow that #1 with another #1. Nowadays, people look for singles instead of bodies of work, so by having #1s, it will ensure Mariah keeps relevance in the public's eyes and her album will sell well as a result. (Tuesday 7 February 2017; 15:08)

Re: Would you rather? (72,313) (72,314) by Musti from UK Good question. I think I would prefer another #1 single. She is already announced as the highest selling female singer of all time (correctly or not) wherever she goes. The fact that she has the highest number of #1 singles is her strongest marketing point and she uses it more frequently than her other achievements/stats. If she were to lose that point, it would damage her already damaged marketing options. Plus, nothing gives me a bigger rush than Mariah having another #1 single. (Tuesday 7 February 2017; 15:08)

Would you rather? (72,313) by T from USA Would you rather Mariah have one more undeniably popular #1 hit song and then release an album that goes Gold based on the success of the song, or have an album that sells double Platinum but doesn't have any individual songs enter the Top 20 on Billboard? (Tuesday 7 February 2017; 14:47)

Re: How is the video #1 on US iTunes? (72,309) (72,312) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Maybe we underestimated the power of unnecessary self-caresses, cheap-looking inappropriate outfits and constantly in-your-face overflowing boobage (yes, not cleavage - boobage). The song itself, on the other hand, is likely gonna be forgotten after this week. So maybe Stella and Mariah were right. Maybe this video really is the way to go if we're hoping for the best chance of people remembering this song. (Tuesday 7 February 2017; 14:06)

Re: Morgan Carey (72,308) (72,311) by Martyn from England, UK I check his Facebook quite regularly, it's interesting to see his take on things. Every so often you'll see a shady comment or two, most recently after her New Year's Eve performance. I'd love to know what happened in between 2012 (when Mariah was promoting his business for him on Twitter) to now that's made him so angry/bitter. I think his actions have been unforgiveable, but I'm also sure there's no smoke without fire. (Tuesday 7 February 2017; 14:02)

Re: Mariah Superbowl - setllist (like Diana Ross) (72,261) (72,310) by May from Denmark I believe that what makes Gaga confident is the fact that she doesn't care if she sounds bad. Mariah is too self conscious and insecure with her voice, she wants to sound perfect all the time, Gaga doesn't care this, she is very relaxed about it. Mariah would much rather throw a fit and not sing or keep up the pre recorded shenanigans than take the chance. It's awful to admit it. (Tuesday 7 February 2017; 12:00)

How is the video #1 on US iTunes? (72,309) by Dan from US But the song keeps dropping? I just don't understand it lol. (Tuesday 7 February 2017; 7:26)

Morgan Carey (72,308) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) This guy just does not quit with his antics, every chance he gets he is out here selling stories at his sister's expense. Talk about pathetic and sad. I honestly believe that he does this for the hope he gets Mariah's attention and as usual she pays him dust. I am starting to think that he is the one with the issues because he claims to care so much yet he drags his sister at every turn. With siblings like Morgan who needs enemies? (Tuesday 7 February 2017; 6:49)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey's bad weekend record sales (72,301) (72,307) by Ignacio Pineda from United States That's because the song is about her being treated bad by an ex and the she basically showed her cheated on James sort of speak with Tanaka. I love the song and love Mariah forever, but she should've never done a reality show. Call it "documentary " but it is what it is. Fire Stella. That woman is gonna ruin you. (Tuesday 7 February 2017; 4:14)

Mariah and the Superbowl (72,306) by Edward from USA There's not doubt that whoever performs at the Superbowl halftime could expose their music to a wider and new audience as long as the performance is executed flawlessly. One thing about Janet, Lady Gaga and Madonna is the fact that they're athletic. They can move around, run, jump like they mean it. Mariah has a great catalog, and she doesn't necessarily has to turn into a dancer to do the Superbowl, but she would have to commit to a choreography and learn it until she doesn't have to worry about it. The key part would be lots of rehearsals. She could do her Heartbreaker routine. If she gets on the threat mill, takes some aerobic classes, learn a few moves, work on the voice and bring it, her career would definitely be back on track after a performance of this magnitude. One can only dream, but I think she could do it. (Tuesday 7 February 2017; 2:43)
