Simplicity is beautiful (72,966) by Ardis Logic from Earth Today Lana Del Rey released her new single "Love" along with a stunning new video on the same day. The song is her singing with minimal music. The video contains actors and shows her looking stunning, and simply singing. I wish Mariah would do things like this. Can you imagine?

Mariah is too proud and doesn't care (72,965) by Liz Archer from Sweden I read the article and I have to say, it echos a lot of what many of us have said here on the forums. But the thing is, I think Mariah is too proud to see what is going on and accept this fact. Or she doesn't care. I think Stella has become her best friend and I think she liked the opportunities (despite how I'll-wised they seem to be) she presents. She probably thinks finally I'm doing stuff I always wanted. Which is to do her own tv show etc etc, which means she doesn't have to rely on her voice. The problem is that she can turn a page and be creative like so many singers today, but she is not seeing it. She is making bad choices. The idea of a documentary following her tour was a nice idea, if they had actually focused on her performances and tour and not have such a disastrous team that have her being late for her own shows and whatnots. The focus on her team was uninteresting and bad move and then suddenly Mariah starts to gravitate towards the dancer when her billionaire boyfriends turns cold. Again, bad move. It does not put her in great light. Idk what to say, I loved Mariah as I grew up. I am getting frustrated and sad when I see her doing stuff like this. I can imagine a few better choices for her career, stuff she can do to reinvent herself and be happy as an artist, but when she surrounds herself with people like this that doesn't have her work and career as big interest, it makes me sad. Maybe this is the true Mariah. I just see her having a really bad reality check, because a humble and caring person would not go around wearing diamonds 24h a day and be a diva. I'm sorry but you can't continue like that. It's not a big conspiracy against her and everyone is against her. I want her to succeed and grow. But with an attitude like that (and with the people around her) it's not going anywhere. You have to recognise when you are in the wrong. Idk maybe she doesn't think she needs to work on her signings and performances anymore and that's why it's going so badly? (Monday 20 February 2017; 23:02)

The Entertainer app (72,964) by Nikki from usa Nice reporting on this one. Mariah's having trouble selling tickets? This app is nothing but a 2 for 1 special on just about everything in Dubai. This covers the Jazz Festival, not just Mariah in specific. What's more is every year that Jazz Festival has different discounts for their 3 day event. It would be nice if context was prescribed once and awhile. These papers do get paid to sell and MC's NYE performance was a big deal. This has nothing to do with the "papers" or "public opinion". This is a selling point and place of interest so it is brought up at every turn. Objectivity is clearly lost. As long as Mariah "brings it" to her upcoming performances that point of interest can be used in her favor. It did for Kimmel. (Monday 20 February 2017; 22:46)

From diva to laughing stock (72,963) by Nikki from usa Kudos - you all are freaking out about a notorious tabloid from the UK. The same tabloid that claimed Mariah tried to kill herself in 2001 and claimed she was staying in a hospital in the UK. Even after the facts came out this fake story about suicide remained and perpetuated. It's been awhile since they last reported on crop circles and aliens, so I wonder if that'll be the headline for next months issue. It's nice to know this board takes what must be "public opinion" from a UK tabloid as their factual basis. (Monday 20 February 2017; 22:37)

Re: Stella AKA Putin (72,958) (72,962) by Gigi from USA Agreed, but how do we as fans get through to Mariah? Should we go to the extremes and hold up big signs that say "Fire Stella" when she does public events? We can meme and hashtags things to death on social media and she may never see them. Any ideas? I just don't want anything bad happening to her and then we all come on this board commenting on things we wish we could've, should've done. (Monday 20 February 2017; 22:33)

Article: From diva to disaster (72,961) by Ignacio Pineda from United States Sad, but true. I miss the days when Mariah was about her voice and lyrics. I think she needs to let the 20 year old do the skimpy outfits and she needs to go back to being "The Voice". Love her to death, though. (Monday 20 February 2017; 21:50)

You know who you are (72,960) by Terna from Nigeria I see they're still trying. Just a few words. That sacred gift Mariah possesses is true. It has never, can never and will never be laughed at nor made fun of. I don't care how many conscious efforts are made nor shade articles written to slander her and try to force it subconsciously into our minds that she's nothing and doesn't matter, that attempt is dead on arrival because we know better, and that is that Mariah Carey is no clown, nor any adjective even remotely synonymous to the words "joke" or "laughing stock" or any other word that denotes being one to be laughed at. Never. (Monday 20 February 2017; 21:46)

Re: Blind item (72,951) (72,959) by RibbonB from USA I agree, but she said that herself, so you know she was really hurt and pissed. IDK what she is doing. (Monday 20 February 2017; 21:24)

Stella AKA Putin (72,958) by Jamie from UK The more I think about Stella and the mess she has made the more my blood boils. There was no need for Marish's career to take this dive, yeah she's never gonna be as popular as her heyday but Stella has well and truly ruined everything. Mariah needs to take time and think about what's going on, clean house and take time to repair the damage and win back the public. (Monday 20 February 2017; 21:19)

Re: "From diva to laughing stock" (72,949) (72,957) by Licia from USA Wow. It's really crazy how this article touched on so many things that alot of us have been concerned about. Martyn I better the writer is jealous and all kinds of other things that would have to be bleeped out. We could pretty much guess what Stella's response would be. Lol. (Monday 20 February 2017; 20:48)

Re: Blind item (72,951) (72,956) by Edward from USA Maybe that's just the sentiment in general that most people have about her. She definitely can go out and say and do whatever she wants, she has the right to do that as much as people have the right to talk about her and feel a certain way, at the end of the day she's a celebrity she should be ready for the clap back. Mariah has many sycophants, and many of those are part of her "yass-queen" lambs. They could see her about to jump off a bridge, and they would cheer saying: yass-queen, hit a high note on your way down. Mariah has become a joke, and she isn't the one laughing.

Re: (72,950) (72,953) by RibbonB from USA Lol that Dan Wooten guy is a real writer for the Sun. (Monday 20 February 2017; 18:07)

Re: "From diva to laughing stock" (72,949) (72,952) by Malcolm from Asia Everyone's laughing at her now, even the people in Good Morning America. Definitely all of the people who suddenly joined the bandwagon lost some respect for her and I believe it's not even about that NYC fiasco, it's about the way her team treated and responded to that situation, it was just plainly unprofessional and not worth it for Mariah. Just by looking at their faces while they talk about her, you can see the effect of such action, it's sad that it went this way. Great job Stella, great job. I'm hoping for a miracle that Mariah will realize that this is not the path for an artist like her and fire that woman. "It's like I'm the only one that has to make five million comebacks." Nope there's no comeback for you anymore, just take care of your voice, your health, and your kids and work on how your image will be fixed and how your legacy will leave on. Just embrace the fact that you're a legend now and always remember that never burn bridges, and maybe, just maybe, that comeback will happen naturally. (Monday 20 February 2017; 17:49)

Re: Blind item (72,947) (72,951) by Manny from U.S. I'm sorry but I don't understand how she could blame the dancers. She should'vd walked out on her own. When she said that, I couldn't believe it. She should take more responsibility. I would've blamed Stella more. Why didn't Stella walk in and take her off stage. She's the manager. (Monday 20 February 2017; 17:47)

(72,950) by B from USA Did Andrew wrote this piece? It's word for word what has been claimed by him. Especially calling the successful SSFT disastrous. Some of us deserve a writing credit like the poster who called Stella and Company sycophants. (Monday 20 February 2017; 15:23)

Re: "From diva to laughing stock" (72,941) (72,949) by Martyn from England, UK You can read the article online here. It's savage, but mainly true. I'm glad Stella seems to be getting a lot of flack. I wonder if she'll respond? (Monday 20 February 2017; 15:03)

Re: "From diva to laughing stock" (72,941) (72,948) by RibbonB from USA I read that last night and it basically states what a lot of us lambs on this board have thought and stated for a while now. Very sad if it has come to this. Mariah can turn it around, but she needs to do that sooner rather than later. Clean house, take a break and get qualified and realistic help with her career. (Monday 20 February 2017; 14:31)

Re: Blind item (72,946) (72,947) by RibbonB from USA Yes my hope is that this terrible experiment is coming to a dramatic halt, end, finish, all of the above. Lol. Time for her to clear out this circus of dancers who cared more about their steps and routine, than helping her from looking a fool left on stage with no ears, the blusheriffic "manager" and her family of leeches and the teenage social media manager. Why Mimi was ever in, who knows, delusion, addiction, ego, all of the above? At some point though, she and Stellar have to see the point of diminishing returns. I do think she allowed herself to try the all press is good press BS. Whether she allowed it, was forced in some way like her old team suggested, IDK but I do hope this stops. I thought the media blackout would help and maybe it did allow her to read her own press and fully assess the mess. Mimi L. I think her being silent on hired hand is because she could barely be convincing on the engagement, so she really doesn't want to put anything in writing on this latest deal with "best dumb ass ever" Bryan. (Monday 20 February 2017; 14:27)

Re: Blind item (72,936) (72,946) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter It is possible that at first she bought the "all publicity is good publicity" crap but now realizes what bull crap that was. But you are right when you say she has been in on it. Nothing happens without her approval. But she gets swayed a lot by her entourage and yes people like she did even before like Nick said. I just hope this blind item is true and we are getting a farewell soon. (Monday 20 February 2017; 13:22)

Re: Mariah completely covered (72,932) (72,945) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Thankfully Mishka didn't torture us with those photos on insta haha. But I'm pretty sure they knew what was happening, wouldn't even be surprised if this was staged. First of all she was wearing super fitted pants and while it's normal for pants to slide down a little if you sit, it's impossible for Mariah to not have felt it when her entire ass was out. What makes me feel like this was intentional is all the nip slips we had in the past year. Never in Mariah's 27 years in the business did we have as many nip slips at this frequency as we did the last 2 years. Plus even if we think that this was an accident, it speaks volumes about her team not covering her up immediately even if they didn't know there were cameras. As for her airport look, I agree, she looked really good and it reminded me of her 2008 self. (Monday 20 February 2017; 13:18)

Re: Finally able to speak (72,923) (72,944) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter That whole mess could have been avoided and Mariah would not have been turned into a punchline (example the award show hosts poking fun at her sabotage claims everytime there was a glitch) had Stella just been clever enough to go with the joint statement. She's burning every bridge for Mariah and while Mariah is seemingly eating up this "empower women" bull shit, it's doing nothing to empower her career. (Monday 20 February 2017; 13:09)

Re: Blind item (72,914) (72,943) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Good point about Mariah saying that she doesn't want to talk about her personal life anymore. If I'm not mistaken, she said something like she used to keep it private and that used to work pretty well for her implying that ever since her personal life became more public, things started going bad. I hope it was a direct dig at Stella because ever since Stella came, we got the abundance of relationship leaks. Starting from those bizarre kissing pictures of MC and James on the boat (which clearly was taken by someone in close range and not a paparazzi) to all those staged Bryan pics at the beach. (Monday 20 February 2017; 13:04)

Re: Mariah completely covered (72,932) (72,942) by Licia from USA I like the LAX look as well. I would have fell over if she would have had tennis shoes on. Lol. (Monday 20 February 2017; 12:38)

"From diva to laughing stock" (72,941) by Jamie from UK Unfortunately there is a double page spread in a U.K. newspaper on Mariah saying how she's become a laughing stock. This is very sad to read, this feels much worse than the Glitter era now. I hoping there's some kind of change coming soon. She proved last week singing VOL that she's still got it. But she now needs to get decent management as Stella has contributed to this mess, but also Mariah needs to refocus in herself and get herself in a better place. I love Mariah and always will but she can't carry on like this. (Monday 20 February 2017; 12:32)

Re: Grammys (72,928) (72,939) by Gigi from USA Plus, she's now saying she doesn't want to talk about her relationship with Tanaka. If that's the case, why was Mariah's World based on him then? (Monday 20 February 2017; 11:22)
