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.

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?

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?

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.

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)
