What I think (73,287) by Danny from Uk I think Mariah has gone through her entire career be used one way or another or at the very least mis understood. I think she has lost her way but I think after Nick Cannon came along Stella who was a strong woman with a clear vision of her own life and family that Mariah believed in and has used Stella as a crux to keep her up emotionally. We all want her to crank out albums and singles and stop wearing revealing clothes but I really believe this is who she wants to be and is tired of trying to tick every box in everyone's chart. Stella for all we know is good for Mariah in ways nobody else has bothered to be before maybe even husbands and other men. She's lonely in the celebrity world and in her own legacy it's lonely. Her kids are what keeps her going and she won't have another hit or album until she's ready. (Wednesday 1 March 2017; 18:42)

Re: Where is Mariah? (73,268) (73,286) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes I also wonder where Mariah is. Last night I even dreamed about her. It was a weird dream, in that dream Mariah released a double-album with songs in the style of the Lady Gaga "Fame" album, but the beat was even rougher and the songs had explicit lyrics. Lol. I miss the "old" Mariah too. And with old I mean the classy, sweet and funny Mariah who cares for herself and doesn't need to do fake stunts and whatever. (Wednesday 1 March 2017; 18:30)

Re: Mariah and Stella in a relationship? (73,264) (73,285) by MusicfanJ from Germany Best joke i've ever heard. I wouldn't have a problem if Mariah dates a woman, if it's love everything is fine for me. But Crustella doesn't seem like a lovable person. Lol I have to agree with you that I also don't understand why Stella must hang around 24/7. (Wednesday 1 March 2017; 18:19)

Article: Mariah Carey may be dropped by Epic Records (73,284) by Adam from US This is just sad. If this is true and Stella really is doing all of this, Mariah needs to wake up and see it. She's a living legend and lately it seems like she's ruining all of that. I hate to say that, I've been a fan since the early '90s. (Wednesday 1 March 2017; 17:43)

Re: Memoirs one of Mariah's all around best albums (73,277) (73,283) by RibbonB from USA I love quite a few of the songs on Memoirs. It was a very good project, although it got a little bit the same sounding after a while. I love Candy Bling, Ribbon, of course and Up Out My Face and actually a few others. If she had just used more live instrumentation vs. so much programmed music, it would have been a real classic. Where are Dream and Tricky these days? (Wednesday 1 March 2017; 17:17)

Re: I don't begrudge Mariah's relationships (73,273) (73,282) by RibbonB from USA A parent should not involve their children if they are in something not serious or deep. That is reckless. And a rebound within months of the last debacle is stupid really. Whatever Mariah is doing, she is paying for it with her employee/paid escort. (Wednesday 1 March 2017; 16:54)

Re: Edward (73,270) (73,281) by Edward from USA When Mariah was with Nick, she was still classy. I would like you to show me a pic of Mariah looking desperate with Nick. She didn't look desperate because she was in love, she was in a real relationship, she was glowing. She wasn't looking for attention back then because she was still very popular riding on the TEOM success and with a very good cohesive and fun album out, with a recent #1, that actually had a fun and great video. That was a different Mariah. Packer and Mariah looked more like business partners, most of their romantic pics lacked taste and were purposely leaked to TMZ by Crustella and Mariah. She hired a photographer to take ridiculous pictures of her and Tanaka at the beach in Hawaii just for the sake of a fake reality TV show, the pics looked ridiculous and laughable. If you want to pretend these tasteless pictures on her Instagram don't make her look like a desperate woman looking for attention, I suggest you open your eyes because that's not the Mariah we experienced up until 2013. That "It" thing that distinguished her from the rest is gone. She's acting just like another Reality TV personality, and not one even remotely close to the Kardashians, rather like one of The Real House Wives. (Wednesday 1 March 2017; 15:31)

Re: Article: Mariah courts attention with provocative kissing picture (73,276) (73,280) by Lila from United States So true. I say the same. She annoys me but she only does what Mariah and her mother allow. No one can convince me that Mariah does not 1) know what this little girl is posting on her Instagram and 2) that Mariah is not part and parcel to what she is posting. If Mariah ever was unawares, that was a long time ago, long before all those nude bath and lingerie shots. The recent awkward kiss picture, more like their lips partially touching picture, doesn't look random to me. There's no cohesiveness or passion that you would have if you were actually kissing someone you loved and for all of us who have seen Mariah's World, we know that they can't act together not even fake kisses.

Article: Mariah courts attention with provocative kissing picture (73,279) by Mushaakiss from UAE Reminds me of the series Lost Girl. (Wednesday 1 March 2017; 13:21)

Re: Vanity Fair (73,259) (73,278) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I just saw the video and the woman was being super nice and Mariah was being nice to her when all of a sudden Stella starts with the attitude. I don't get why she did that. I saw another clip of this interviewer trying to talk of Mariah at the VF red carpet and Stella was pullling her and Mariah said "She's telling me not to talk to you" as in Stella told her not to talk to the reporter. Mariah looked like she was uncomfortable blatantly ignoring someone so she tried to be nice but Stella pulled her away. Let her fudging speak Stella, stop being batshit crazy controlling. (Wednesday 1 March 2017; 10:28)

Re: Memoirs one of Mariah's all around best albums (73,271) (73,277) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I love Memoirs. The album reads like a diary and is one of her most cohesive body of work. I don't skip a single track on that album and I think the song transitions from one to another so nicely. A lot of the songs from Memoirs still sound so fresh and new. (Wednesday 1 March 2017; 10:20)

Re: Article: Mariah courts attention with provocative kissing picture (73,269) (73,276) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter As much as the child annoys me, we can't blame her for it completely. Mariah willingly gave her password and phone to this child for her to do whatever she wants with it so then Mariah is the one who is responsible for this. This 13 year old is growing up watching the likes of Kylie Jenner and the lot posting nudes online so she doesn't know any better. (What she can learn though is Kylie wouldn't be caught dead with blurry messy photos ruining the aesthetic of her insta.) So Mishka's only fault is she is a bad photographer and comes off as bratty that's it. Mariah did the whole "confronting Mishka" about posting inappropriate stuff on her insta and immediately accepted defeat when Mishka said "I can't help it if you have a great ass". She later even scolded Anthony for showing concerns about this photo once it went viral. Mariah even went on Ellen and said those bath tub pics were posted without her knowledge by a 13 year old who came into the bathroom while she was taking a bath at 4 am. Lots of things wrong here (a) why is a 13 year old coming into your bathroom when you are naked in the tub that too at 4 am? (b) your hair and makeup was done, you were wearing diamonds and posing and 1 of the shots were of you taking a selfie (c) let's assume she didn't know it then and later found out, why didn't she take it down or at least make sure it never happens again? Let's not forget Mariah willingly took extremely provocative videos with Tanaka and dancing and groping while she was engaged with Packer and even posed for many Snapchat videos with them one of him wearing her night robe and many more. If we even go as far as to assume that Mariah was unaware what Snapchat is and didn't know the public was seeing this, how can we explain away MW which was made for worldwide viewing and in which Mariah explicitly made herself look like she's cheating on her fiancé and we have a million scenes of her sitting on Bryan's lap, touching him, him touching her and what not.

Re: Mariah - please come to your senses (73,265) (73,275) by Manny from U.S. I dont know if my last message got posted. WIFI acted up just when I sent it. I just said I think Mariah had a miscarriage around E=MC2. I think that's why she cancelled the gigs. Unless I'm confusing dates. (Wednesday 1 March 2017; 8:27)

Tuning out (73,274) by darrian liu from taiwan That's it. I'm not gonna care about Mariah's career moves, unless it's music and important events-related, at least until Stella and her whole circus goes away. So tired of the drama, the cringy "relationship" pics, the messy decisions. Gonna play Glitter on repeat now. (Wednesday 1 March 2017; 8:14)

I don't begrudge Mariah's relationships (73,273) by Nikki from usa I think it was pretty obvious Mariah was really in love with Nick. But, I also recall her saying she had almost given up on love until he came along. Well, after that burn she probably did give up. It makes since to have a happy companionship with great conversation if you don't want to be alone, especially if that other person seems to actually love you. That makes the blow all the greater when you realize it's a business transaction with an end date. After all of those serious relationships and setbacks it might be nice just to flirt with someone. If that same someone is easy going, fun to be with, and good with the kids than it's even more convenient. A relationship that's more of a fun romance than deep commitment might be a good change of pace. I don't think her relationship with Tanaka is fake, I just don't think it's that serious or deep. (Wednesday 1 March 2017; 4:52)

"I Don't" believe Roger (73,272) by Nikki from usa Since LA already made it perfectly clear that MC was "lucky" just to be on the radio and would never have another #1 hit again, I don't think Epic was anticipating a blockbuster. More to the point, it just went for radio adds today as an impact date. To say Epic is dropping Mariah before she's even played on air is jumping the gun a bit. Not to mention they'd have to buy her out of her contract which they weren't paying much for anyway, so it that would be counter-productive. Infinity may have been a flop, but it wasn't one that Epic paid for since they regurgitated everything and relied on Vegas to support the rest. Mariah wanted her last album to be heard as a whole without singles. Now, we're hearing the exact opposite. This strategy doesn't sound like Mariah, it sound like LA Reid and I actually agree with him on this. Rihanna released a top 10 hit track with Paul McCartney, but it didn't come with an album because her label was still trying to get her a #1. A lot of artists are releasing a slew of singles until they find enough that stick with the public before releasing an album of new material. I think this would work in MC's favor, It will give her the liberty to try new things without the pressure of trying to make everything a comeback. (Wednesday 1 March 2017; 4:36)

Memoirs one of Mariah's all around best albums (73,271) by T from USA I honestly can say that Memoirs is top notch quality and fits in perfect with MC's discography. Not only does it have a massive Top 10 hit but the album itself has almost sold platinum in the USA. When I listen to it, it transforms me to a time and place in the autumn of 2009. Music was still a major part of her life. With "The Elusive Chanteuse" she did take her time to perfect the music, but Memoirs had a freshness and spontinaity that MIAMTEC lacks. The Elusive Chanteuse is like Rainbow where as Memoirs is more inline with Butterfly. (Wednesday 1 March 2017; 4:32)

Re: Edward (73,270) by Nikki from usa I'm not sure how well you knew MC to begin with, but where were you for the pics of her kissing Packer on her Instagram? Or all the pda with Nick on every red carpet ever? Back in the day we even had make out pics of her and Luis Miguel on her website. (Wednesday 1 March 2017; 4:21)

Article: Mariah courts attention with provocative kissing picture (73,269) by Betty from Canada Mishka probably took the pic and posted it. (Wednesday 1 March 2017; 3:28)

Where is Mariah? (73,268) by Jamie from UK I'm getting more and more frustrated with this era, does she not realise her career is in tatters? She's doing nothing to help herself and her public image. How can a person change beyond recognition to the person she once was? I don't want to give up on her but she really needs to sort herself out. (Wednesday 1 March 2017; 2:47)

Work hard play hard ? (73,267) by Dan from US Is it just me? I'm really trying to figure out what this broken record of Stella is working hard on? What is she playing hard on? What is this empower your girls? She isn't working hard on anything to do with Mariah, Mariah is not working hard, I just can't understand the quotes that she uses everyday. Mariah had two songs since Infinity, she is not on magazine covers, she is not doing anything for charities, she is not doing any promo tv performances, a reality show is not working hard, and going to a Oscars after party and stating you did not watch the show is just lame. So to me Stella is not right in her head as to where she thinks she is working hard but she is doing nothing. Empower your girls is not about being rude in public or disrespecting others. Working hard play hard is Beyonce, empower your girls is what Lady Gaga does, I'm sorry but maybe I'm wrong but she thinks she's doing so much and she isn't doing nothing. She's like the coworker everyone has who goes around acting like they do all the work and nobody else does nothing but in reality they are the one who do nothing. (Wednesday 1 March 2017; 1:57)

Re: Mariah and Stella in a relationship? (73,264) (73,266) by RibbonB from USA Lol, now you are adding "Lying Les-bot" to her list of L's and it is only the first quarter of 2017? Or did I miss the sarcasm? I have heard of some elaborate industry stunts, but that one would take the cake. Mimi seems lost more than anything, definitely not in love with a vampire bat bitch. (Wednesday 1 March 2017; 1:25)

Mariah - please come to your senses (73,265) by John from USA I feel like Mariah has really lost her way. To me, she hasn't really cared about her career since the beginning of E=MC2. To think if that era had been handled better, at the very least, we could have had two more top 5 singles from that album. But she chose to fall off the face of Earth right after meeting Nick (I remember she cancelled so many public appearances after TMB), and her career has never quite recovered. I feel like E=MC2 was her last chance for an epic era (maybe not as epic as TEOM, but much stronger than what actually happened). She looked amazing, the general public was into her, she had great tracks, full label support. MOAIA, we're lucky we got a top 10 hit off of that album. It basically died right after Obsessed peaked that fall. I mean, if Mariah doesn't care, why should we? If I were her, I would have already disappeared from the public for about a year, get into E=MC2 shape, and come back strong with crazy promo. I feel like in addition to being lazy, she's delusional thinking that Stella is good for her career. I feel like she doesn't have much time left before she becomes a permanent cartoon character in the eyes of the general public. We as fans know she is so much better than this. But she needs to really get it together soon, or just straight up retire if she doesn't "care enough" about her career and legacy. I've virtually abandoned all hope for another hit single (but I do like "I Don't" quite a lot actually), at least we'll always have the memories (Tuesday 28 February 2017; 22:36)

Mariah and Stella in a relationship? (73,264) by T from USA After these past two years and seeing Mariah change so much I can only guess that maybe Stella and her are actually dating and in love with each other. It wouldn't be that much of a stretch. Stella basically lives with Mariah, she's with her at all times. Her family has moved in. Mariah doesn't want it out there so she keeps "relationships" like James and Tanaka around to keep people from wondering. Mariah must feel that her brand would be severely ruined if it came out. There's no other way to describe what is happening with her career. I think she has finally found real love and that's it. (Tuesday 28 February 2017; 22:36)

Mariah Carey may be dropped by Epic Records (73,263) by JT from USA I believe this is mostly true. I had already thought that the record company is so tired of Stella, they would threaten to drop Mariah unless she makes management changes. [...] Roger Friedman is a fool who constantly contradicts his own stories. Even this story. Remember, he was the one who previously reported that the record company had a Mariah single and wanted to release it but Stella didn't want it released. Now in this latest article, he says Mariah delivered a record with no notice and basically forced them to release it. Whatever, buddy. (Tuesday 28 February 2017; 22:07)
