Re-brand (72,460) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter They really need to work on Mariah's brand. It has never been this bad even during "Glitter". Her image is a mess, the diva antics are going through the roof, most of her recent projects have been half baked and abandoned mid way, she seems to not acknowledge that she needs to work on her voice more (and no I'm not saying she can't sing but her voice is her instrument, she's not a dancer or full on entertainer so that's her sole selling point), she can't seem to stay away from fabricated drama. And this isn't like it's happening once in a while, it's like a regular day now. Only lambs will bother trying to dig through and see the "real Mariah", but even we are finding it increasingly harder to recognize the star we love and admire. Her team has been treating her like a B-list celebrity, getting her B-list deals, and they don't seem to have the reach to get her booked in high profile shows and events, which shouldn't be hard since she's one of the biggest stars. But either they are lazy or they have no clue how to handle her. They don't bother doing anything unless they see a quick way to get cash. They burn down bridges with big shots by crying sabotage when there are better and more diplomatic ways to handle things. No one in her team seems to be competent enough to do the job they are hired to do. Stella talks big but the only high profile deals Mariah got were people who came to her, not people Stella got for Mariah, and even then they find ways to mess things up. Mariah really needs to take off those Cavalli shades because they are clearly clouding her judgement and vision. Side note: why on earth did they use that picture for the Lionel tour? How does this even make sense? I am not against skin show at all but is that all there is to Mariah nowadays? (Friday 10 February 2017; 10:15)

How much crack? (72,459) by Nikki from usa Is Page Six smoking? They're doing entire arenas and the first concert on the tour doesn't start for nearly another 5 weeks. The prices seem to start at $20-40 bucks and go all the way up to $1,900 near the stage. I hardly think a discounted pre-sale lasting through Valentine's Day which is still a month away from the very first concert is exactly doing badly or "not selling". This tour is jam packed with a lot of back to back concerts the next day apart despite being in different states. That's a lot of touring and jet lag on top of singing concerts back to back. However, there are quite a few that are up to 3-5 days apart too. It'll be interesting to see how Mariah fares with this. It could have a Charmbracelet tour effect and really help her tune up her vocal or it'll have the opposite effect by making her hoarse, raspy, and possibly injure her instrument. She won't be able to even attempt 24 hours of vocal rest in between performances. I'm kind of hoping Roc n' Roe won't be tagging a long or there's no way Mariah's going to be able to keep up vocally with this schedule. I have a hard time believing Lionel would let her lip an entire opening act for one of his shows. (Friday 10 February 2017; 9:49)

Re: Lionel Richie Facebook fans attack Mariah, help her (72,442) (72,458) by Ty from USA Wow just read their comments, Lionel's fans dislike her antics. (Friday 10 February 2017; 8:52)

I hear jazz (72,456) by Edouard from France In I Don't I can hear a lot of jazz inflections in her adlibs. I love it. (Friday 10 February 2017; 1:28)

Nick Cannon (72,455) by Special K from USA Usually Nick gets on my last gosh darn nerve because that brotha always running his mouth but I'm going to show him some love regarding his comments about this fake relationship and reality tv show. Wow, lol. Can't wait for the next family pic. (Friday 10 February 2017; 1:05)

Bad ticket sales (72,453) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Watch Stella come out and say "Lionel is a relic who is unable to sell tickets. Mimi is on fire but she's being sabotaged by Lionel's age." (Friday 10 February 2017; 0:43)

Reaching at its finest (72,452) by Haiji Toro from USA I will honestly say, I am guilty of being a conspiracy theorist and do believe something is up lately with all the darkness in her career, beginning with a certain Stellar Bulwitchcraft, but even this crap is going too far. What are your thoughts on this topic? (Friday 10 February 2017; 0:43)

Re: Bad ticket sales (72,448) (72,451) by Gigi from USA I'm seeing well over 20 tickets available in Columbus, OH on Ticketmaster. I'm wondering how they are going to pay Mariah, Mariah's entourage and dancers, Lionel and his crew (plus other production costs) with tickets being as low as $21.86 each along with the Buy 1 Get 1 Free promo? (Friday 10 February 2017; 0:13)

Re: Almost 10 million views (72,447) (72,450) by Gigi from USA Yes, but unfortunately, the song has completely dropped from the iTunes Top 100 Songs Chart according to Doipod which updates in real time. (Friday 10 February 2017; 0:01)

Re: Bad ticket sales (72,439) (72,449) by Lila from United States Most people attending are there to see Lionel Ritchie and he sells out, so I think whoever wrote that is way off base. (Thursday 9 February 2017; 23:59)

Re: Bad ticket sales (72,439) (72,448) by B from USA I've already purchased five tickets. Where did you hear this because when I ordered my tickets there were less than twenty available. (Thursday 9 February 2017; 22:50)

Almost 10 million views (72,447) by Edouard from France Yeahhhh. Is it me or the number of views is growing exponentially? (Thursday 9 February 2017; 22:48)

Re: I don't see nothin' wrong (72,441) (72,446) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada There's a big difference between letting your sensuality/sexuality exude naturally versus putting something on like a mask or a costume. You can feel when it is comfortable and when it isn't. Zero issue with anyone expressing their sensuality, skin or cleavage it isn't even a gender thing, but it does have to come from a genuine authentic place. That's what makes it "sexy". I think that's what most are getting at. What's genuine and authentic for some people doesn't feel nearly as natural for others. (Thursday 9 February 2017; 22:33)

Re: Relevance (72,443) (72,445) by Ardis Logic from Earth All I want is for Mariah to stay true to herself. F making millions, F drama, F fakeness, F Facebook and Instagram, F Stella and everyone around you who has encouraged you to run so far away from your true and real self. If you are true to yourself, everything else will fall into place, and your fans will respect you again. (Thursday 9 February 2017; 22:31)

Article: Mariah's ex-husband slams new "love" (72,444) by Butterfly from Fake or real Mariah lost either way. If it's fake she's just a desperate loony. If it's real she's a nasty cheater. What goes around comes back around I guess. (Thursday 9 February 2017; 22:06)

Relevance (72,443) by Danny from Uk Do all we want as fans is Mariah to be relevant above anything else? How I see it relevance comes on and off all the time with many artists. I think even all Mariah wants is to stay relevant and I don't know why if she isn't desperate for the money (which I really doubt). I thought being married twice and having kids would be enough to make her turn inwards a little but she seems more and more active and exploiting herself. However that could be to do with her kids and securing their future. Who knows? (Thursday 9 February 2017; 21:28)

Lionel Richie Facebook fans attack Mariah, help her (72,442) by Sheila from United States Please please please go to his ads for the tour and make a nice comment about Mariah. His fans are ripping her. (Thursday 9 February 2017; 21:16)

Re: I don't see nothin' wrong (72,429) (72,441) by Marissa from USA Bruh, at what point is anyone going to acknowledge that Mariah has kids and that they are affected by her actions? Everything isn't just about what Mariah thinks is "fun" in the moment when she has children. The same way she said she didn't want to overexpose her kids on MW because "they didn't sign up for this", they didn't sign up to have photos like this, this, this exposed all over the internet for the rest of their lives. Also, there is nothing wrong with Mariah showing cleavage if it's tasteful. Here's some examples of showing skin done right and right. She has been showing cleavage her entire career, so if we were really people who believe that women should wear turtlenecks than we would have never been following her career in the first place. Even in the Mottola years she was showing cleavage, there was just barely anything there to show. The issue isn't her showing cleavage, it's her using it as a crutch, which is what makes it seem desperate rather than empowering. A few years ago, Mariah showing cleaving was a "moment" where we could still find plenty of others where she was more demure and still looked great. Now it's like almost every time she steps out her nipples are practically slapping us in the face and you have to go on a scavenger hunt to find a picture of her that doesn't look like she just walked out of a pornography shoot. I'd be embarrassed if people could find so many blatantly sexual photos of my mom, but Mariah is forcing them to deal with this stuff for the rest of their lives before they're at an age where they can either support or reject the idea of her rebranding herself as a stripper-esque. There's a huge difference between cleavage being a part of your evening gown and stepping out in public like this which is the true definition of trying too hard, whether you're 26 or 46. It's the "please validate me and tell me I'm sexy" attitude that accompanies her actions that people are tired of. (Thursday 9 February 2017; 19:15)

They'd better don't (72,440) by Edward from USA I also think they won't address Nick directly. What he said we already knew, the truth. They'll "leak" gossip to TMZ gossip. Nick loves his kids and is doing everything to co-parent and be a good father, but it's evident he's moved on from the circus and I don't blame him. I can only imagine the pressure he had coming from all directions and having Mariah's crew treating him as a gold digger. (Thursday 9 February 2017; 18:44)

Bad ticket sales (72,439) by Billy from England, UK So I read no one is buying tickets to see Mariah in her up coming tour wow. (Thursday 9 February 2017; 18:41)

I Don't YouTube comments (72,438) by Terna from Nigeria They are quite hilarious. Lol. I love that Mariah Carey (the one I chose and connected to) is still very relevant after 27 years in this fickle, ever changing music industry (here today, gone yesterday, lol) where so many have come and gone and are forgotten. She's still here, still making music, still pressing on and still got everyone anticipating and tongues wagging whenever she announces new music. Fact is Mariah's music will always be looked forward to. It's a cut above the rest. Just enjoy that fact and let go of all that hoopla it poisons everything. (Thursday 9 February 2017; 18:31)

Re: Stella shot down allegations (72,432) (72,437) by RibbonB from USA Hopefully, what Nick said just gives Crustella and team a good way to transition from the reality show to US tour Mariah. But Mariah needs to stop the games and focus. Talking about they have 800 hours of footage, but they air all the mess that makes her look bad is pathetic, especially if she doesn't think she looked bad to many. Stella may not want to set off a comedian. Nick may not be the funniest in many people's opinion, but he is funnier than her IMO. His friends George Lopez and DeRay Davis go in and go hard though. Wow the way they clapped back at hecklers this week was atrocious and over the top, but not uncommon. DeRay may have done his a while ago, but his video surfaced in response to what George did to an audience member. We know about the old "Kramer" comedian and his racist clap back of several years ago. A lot of Nick's reserve is also trying to not stress out and dealing with his lupus. But Nick will drop a mix tape song or a spoken word poem at any given moment (Thursday 9 February 2017; 17:53)

Re: Stella shot down allegations (72,432) (72,436) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter That's because unlike Packer, Nick will go on Howard Stern and hit right back all the while wearing a custom turban. (Thursday 9 February 2017; 17:15)

Re: Can't Take That Away (72,427) (72,435) by MusicfanJ from Germany Oh yes, the world could need another "There's got to be a way". The news make me sick nowadays. Mariah please write a meaningful song. The "old" fans will love it and the young can see there's more than sex sells. (Thursday 9 February 2017; 17:15)

Re: Nick Cannon (72,428) (72,434) by Lila from United States Most likely. I know I would be. I really wonder what Mariah thinks she's gaining by doing all this - Packer, Tonka Toy, exploiting her kids, and an exact account - and if she really thinks whatever that is, is worth it. I already know it's not but I just wonder what she really thinks. (Thursday 9 February 2017; 17:09)
