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)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey's bad weekend record sales (72,301) (72,305) by Licia from USA I couldn't agree more with what you and Ribbon have said. I just hope they will eventually see that all the made up dramatics aren't helping sooner rather than later. (Tuesday 7 February 2017; 2:27)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey's bad weekend record sales (72,301) (72,304) by Special K from USA Hey Dee. I agree with you everything you said. Especially the part about Mariah feeling she needs to compete with today's market. You're right, if she would just be herself everything would fall into place. Mariah needs to learn to stay in her own lane. She can't compete with these younger artists. When she does, she looses everytime. TEOM was a huge success because Mariah was able to showcase a contemporary/old school sound. When MJB releases new music, Mary always manages to keep it old school with a contemporary sound. Mary could careless about the Keisha Cole's, or Jazmine Sullivan's of the world. Mary does her own thing and continues to have moderate success. Same thing regarding R.Kelly. Why in the hell did Mariah think she needed YG on I Don't? Makes no sense and please don't get me started about that video. (Tuesday 7 February 2017; 1:46)

Setlist (72,303) by George Golden from UK Meteorite. How could I forget this one? Lol. (Tuesday 7 February 2017; 1:42)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey's bad weekend record sales (72,301) (72,302) by Lila from United States My sentiments exactly. That reminds me, I have my own vision of 2023 and it includes the same fans who egg this behavior on, will be the same ones still acting like it's such a mystery as to why Mariah isn't as respected as they think she should be or in comparison to XYZ person of their choosing.

Re: Article: Mariah Carey's bad weekend record sales (72,287) (72,301) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Yup. This is what I mean by manipulation tactics. Look, I'll always love Mariah and it has nothing to do with her status as an entertainer or the way she dresses or what is posted on her social media accounts. I'm not here for that stuff it's not real. I'm here for the humble creative spirit I know is underneath all of it. You'll just never convince me that a person who is happy on the inside feels the need to resort to this kind of stuff. She obviously feels the need to compete with the market at this level, I get it to a certain extent, but at what cost? That's what I'm saying. #1 records aren't the be all end all, and this stuff is clearly not helping her achieve that "hit" anyway. If anything it's turning people off. If she's just herself instead of trying so hard to "play the game" so to speak, the drama will die down and things will fall into place naturally. (Tuesday 7 February 2017; 0:46)

Re: Morgan Carey (72,298) (72,300) by Billy from England, UK Oh okay thank you hun, it's everyone's fear for Mariah what he says, and I hope she lives a long life ie 100 lol. (Tuesday 7 February 2017; 0:43)

Re: Mariah superbowl medley wishlist (72,292) (72,299) by Billy from England, UK Mariah needs to do this, she would rocket up the charts, people love listening to classic songs they have memories to them. If she wants to be noticed as a real artist again she needs to do it. Pick her best songs everyone loves and do it. I dont know who would do the costume and staging but it would need to blow everyone away and wow them. (Tuesday 7 February 2017; 0:41)

Re: Morgan Carey (72,294) (72,298) by RibbonB from USA That is over two years old, when he started selling sensational stories to the tabloids for money. (Tuesday 7 February 2017; 0:30)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey's bad weekend record sales (72,287) (72,297) by RibbonB from USA I have no idea why they seem to sabotage their own shit. They need to figure it out. It's like ok we are doing a docuseries about my tour, writing songs, for the fans, blah blah blah, then they put out a reality show with manufactured cringeworthy scenes that make many fans not want to watch. *shrug* (Tuesday 7 February 2017; 0:26)

Re: Hospitalised (72,291) (72,296) by RibbonB from USA Isn't this a joke? I thought he was hospitalized due to cringe induced pain from watching MW. Lol. I hope he feels better if I read that wrong. (Tuesday 7 February 2017; 0:22)

Morgan Carey (72,294) by Billy from England, UK When was this? Is this new? Sorry if it's been posted before, I am a bit slow sometimes with news or videos etc lol. (Tuesday 7 February 2017; 0:15)

Article: Mariah Carey's bad weekend record sales (72,293) by Robin Elkins from United States Mariah needs to do something about her career and where it's going. (Tuesday 7 February 2017; 0:08)

Re: Hospitalised (72,279) (72,291) by Lila from United States Why would you watch that show while you're in the hospital? You shouldn't be trying to worsen your health lol. Feel better. (Monday 6 February 2017; 23:59)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey's bad weekend record sales (72,285) (72,287) by Gigi from USA This is what I don't understand - why would Stella focus more on creating this bogus story that Mariah burned a $250K dress (when only fans know it's not the same wedding dress) just so her video can get views? It immediately put a sour taste in people's mouths. It made people think of a million ways they could've used that money, which in turn made people not want to put any more money in Mariah's pocket by buying her new single. I noticed even on TheShaderoom's Instagram (with over 8.1M followers) - people were feeling the song initially until the bogus story surfaced that Stella didn't bother debunking. People would've naturally gravitated toward YouTube to watch the video after hearing the song. I know I did after Lady Gaga's performance of "Million Reasons" at the Super Bowl - which I never knew existed before last night. No one would've thought anything of that dress and could've just enjoyed the song without that fake story. (Monday 6 February 2017; 22:54)

New single (72,286) by Tameka walker from United states I really like the new single but I have not downloaded it because I don't know how to download. Most of Mariah's fans are older and for me specifically I just do not know how to download music from iTunes. I wish I did know so I could help Mariah out and buy it. The song is catchy and I love how they sampled Donnell Jones' song. Can someone on this message board teach me how to download the song from iTunes with step by step directions so I can help our girl out.

Article: Mariah Carey's bad weekend record sales (72,285) by RibbonB from USA Roger was a little extra shady in this post, not holding any punches. He could have noted that the video did reach number one on iTunes. I am just hoping Mariah will put on a great show when she tours with Lionel Richie. I am looking forward to that show.

Re: Hospitalised (72,279) (72,284) by Sheila from United States Danny, I hope you feel better. (Monday 6 February 2017; 21:59)

Re: Mariah Superbowl - setllist (like Diana Ross) (72,281) (72,283) by Gigi from USA Either way - Lady Gaga did a great job and I noticed even the conservative "grandmas" on Facebook (I'm from the south) commented that they enjoyed the show. (Monday 6 February 2017; 21:55)

Re: Production style on "I don't" (72,273) (72,282) by Chicago Lamb from USA Totally agree. It's the catchiest track she's released in, dare I say... a decade? (Monday 6 February 2017; 21:46)

Re: Mariah Superbowl - setllist (like Diana Ross) (72,278) (72,281) by Sheila from United States Let me say it again, not everyone is a fan of Lady Gaga and knows her songs. They may know she's the wacky singer but they may not know the words to her songs. 40-60 year old people may not know the words to Poker Face. She is a pop artist not an adult contemp artist. Just because she's huge in "your" age group or community does not mean grandma knows the lyrics to Bad Romance. (Monday 6 February 2017; 21:37)

Re: It's just entertainment (72,275) (72,280) by Norman from USA Exactly right, Geronimo. Welcome to the board. (Monday 6 February 2017; 21:16)

Hospitalised (72,279) by Danny from Uk Hi guys, I'm currently in the hospital. I was watching the season finale of Tanaka's World - sorry Mariah's World - and I cringed so hard that I've hurt myself quite bad. If you can all send empowering empowerments my way so I can make a momentous recovery thank you. (Monday 6 February 2017; 21:04)
