To Andrew (72,519) by Danny from Uk Andrew, I accept what you say and most of us appreciate each others opinions however we may disagree, but why do you invest so much of your own time and efforts into expressing your disdain for Mariah. You are a very negative entity and I don't mean negative in what you say so much but how you express yourself. Most people would have their say and opinion then move on and just comment as a casual viewer but you have some of war going on in your mind and it's not healthy. You have valid points and sometimes say what we all may be thinking but I think you need to let go of Mariah if she is causing you this much frustration. All the best.

When you believe (72,518) by MusicfanJ from Germany "When you believe" is on the radio in honor of the great Whitney Houston. I love this song so much. When Mariah released The Ones, everybody loved the duet with Whitney. I hope Mariah will come back with music like this or something new. But most of all I hope Mariah finds real happiness without diamonds. I'll always love her. (Saturday 11 February 2017; 19:55)

Re: New radio call in (72,501) (72,517) by Andrew from UK Given that Mariah (almost) never puts her hideous looking, over-sized fake tits away, that they now accompany her face in almost every photo, that she wears outfits that look like she's being prepped for open-heart surgery, that her nipples have now even been revealed to the world, that she touches her ridiculously unattractive tits at every opportunity, is it "inappropriate" for someone to comment about them? If you act like a [censored], you surely can't take offense when someone calls you one. (Saturday 11 February 2017; 19:37)

Re: Relevance (72,511) (72,516) by Andrew from UK There are people on this board who can make me rethink my opinions or my approach. You would be last on the list. But have your moment in the sun getting your thumbs up for dressing me down. I'd invite everyone who does so to read your wacko message history. It's a riotous laugh. "The Truth", indeed. (Saturday 11 February 2017; 19:28)

Re: Relevance (72,504) (72,515) by Andrew from UK Hi, May. Some of MIAM was genius, but interspersed with songs that sounded really out-dated and with minimum appeal. All her efforts since have been awful. In order to be proclaimed a relevant (and good) singer and songwriter, I suppose you would have to evidence that you can still sing and write good songs that people want to hear, that have a fresh approach, that try new things, and so on. Unless I haven't been paying attention, the general consensus is that Mariah is doing incredibly poorly in these stakes, n'est-ce pas? Relevant, she is not. (Saturday 11 February 2017; 19:24)

Re: Reaching at its finest (72,452) (72,507) (72,514) by Haiji Toro from USA Not sure if your comment was intended towards me or the person that uploaded the video I posted. If not towards me, then I agree with what you're saying, which is why I posted it. I thought it was ridiculous and wanted to get the board's opinion. If it was towards me, then please go back and re-read this post. (Saturday 11 February 2017; 19:23)

Re: Relevance (72,504) (72,513) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada I echo your sentiments May. I find MIAM to be a very strong album. It may not have done well in the US, but it is still a beautiful effort on all counts. I don't see Mariah changing her image anytime soon, but that isn't up to anyone but her. Just because people are frustrated with her choices doesn't mean she deserves such blanket generalizations made constantly like "her songwriting is crap" lol. She has some decisions to make and nobody can make them but her. Doesn't mean I'm willing to write her off or treat her as if she's a bad human though. (Saturday 11 February 2017; 18:43)

Re: Mariah's image (72,510) (72,512) by RibbonB from USA It is not that hard to do, but she has the wrong crowd encouraging her in another direction. She is in the "ditzy glitzy" mode at the moment. She seems to be reading some of the messages or posts lately though and responding after Stella has done the damage. She is not reading the times well though and she and stella are presently tone deaf. She needs to close the circus and regroup. JD is also part of the problem because he also believes in the stunt school of marketing. JD orchestrated Usher's "Confessions" based on his own messy life at the time, because he thought Usher needed more public interest in his personal life and that he needed the drama. Usher got the sales then, but that was also a different time. Mariah needs to treat her next project with passion but also a purpose like a job, but not a lifestyle, living with a circus of sycophants. Since her present "friends" are acting like her paid enemies, perhaps she should work with paid professionals with a purpose. Her glamorous, but with paid friends lifestyle has got to be expensive to maintain, especially at the cost of her career. (Saturday 11 February 2017; 17:59)

Re: Relevance (72,483) (72,511) by THE TRUTH from USA I disagree with Andrew's tone and assertion. Mariah is sick, desperate and keeping very bad company however if she changed her lifestyle and environment there's no way of knowing how quickly she might or might not bounce back. Anything is possible and the potential of the human body and spirit are beyond our comprehension. Mariah's musicianship when she was at her best was unfathomable some might say superhuman so I wouldn't count her completely out. I'd also say Andrew that your mean-spiritedness and condescending tone must bespeak some serious character defect or worse. Get help and stop bullying people it's really unbecoming.

Mariah's image (72,510) by darrian liu from taiwan I don't see the benefit for her to have this sexy, borderline trashy image. I just want her to forget about image. Forget about being looked as desirable, or sexy, etc. She needs to know that she doesn't need those things. Her voice and her talent is enough to carry her on. Mariah isn't good at handling her image, so why not just [censored] it and do what she's actually good at, writing and singing? Is it that hard to do? (Saturday 11 February 2017; 17:02)

Re: Mariah Carey is a hard person to love these days (72,499) (72,509) by darrian liu from taiwan A completely stripped down album is gonna be amazing. Her raw, warm, slightly dry voice would lend itself so nicely to warm acoustic guitar ballads. I think she should write and sing songs with Jazmine Sullivan. She's super talented and her soothing voice will match Mariah's voice so much. (Saturday 11 February 2017; 16:57)

Re: Re-brand (72,460) (72,508) by May from Denmark Uhm no Mimi L. Glitter was pretty, really bad regarding image. I recall all the name calling and horrible articles, the whole "Mariah wanted to commit suicide and there was blood everywhere", talk about exaggerating a situation, the stories that ran that time, with things about her mother finding her on the floor, Luis Miguel cheating on her with another and suddenly Mariah appearing there, Mariah going crazy to no comeback, Mariah in a mental institution, etc. It was bad, really bad, and the mockery of her movie, which I don't even think it was that terrible, it was just too simple and not worthy to watch on repeat. I remember The Bodyguard with Whitney Houston, it was so entertaining I thought Mariah was going to pull something like that, the music was fabulous. I think the music from Glitter was phenomenal. Maybe Glitter the movie should have been a musical. I do agree though that her brand needs some re-working, she is falling into what everyone else is doing, I don't dislike her touchy-touchy or leotards but it's looking unoriginal. The video was a huge let down for me, when I saw her running with the wedding dress my first thought was "yes, a follow up from WTB" but no, it was repetitive and way too simple. Then it seemed that Mariah and Stella directed the whole thing, really two brains couldn't come up with a small script? It didn't have to be big budget but more than just two cars and like four changes of dress would have been nice, like a change in scenario but whatever, we got what we got. But the video got the views and I don't think Mariah will change the page now, I think she will probably keep on this route. I have never been fixated with her image anyway, I always thought she was somewhat boring in all in her videos, like ABM I always found it boring, but I loved the music, MIAM had some great tunes worthy of videos that were promised and never delivered. I Don't wasn't a bad song but the video was so lackluster. I do hope the music goes up in level though, ok Mariah, you had your fun, serious business now. (Saturday 11 February 2017; 16:28)

Re: Reaching at its finest (72,452) (72,507) by May from Denmark This only happens when reading too much into a picture. You can probably find a gazillion of things in anything if you want to look for it hard enough. It's just bollocks really, come on, the horns salute just because waving the fingers and suddenly the photographer snapped a moment, so I guess the lambs are going to be the ultimate sacrifice and blood will be spilled at Lionel's tour haha. Relax. (Saturday 11 February 2017; 16:18)

Re: How much crack? (72,459) (72,506) by May from Denmark Remember Stintella had a fight with people at Page Six. So they won't publish anything good about Mariah, true or lie, until Stintella decides to do some payola, which won't happen, it's the jet life darling, in her world it doesn't matter if they talk bad about Mariah or herself, she will just Instagram a picture of her butt swinging "empowerment" made in Boomerang as a response haha, that's how she thinks everything gets fixed. (Saturday 11 February 2017; 16:11)

Re: Relevance (72,483) (72,504) by May from Denmark Really you think she has little songwriting left Andrew? You didn't like anything from MIAM? I did enjoy a fair amount of songs. She has sang great during her Vegas show and tours, she has had upside downs vocally but still has done very well all in all, I continue to find her voice very appealing. (Saturday 11 February 2017; 16:00)

Re: New radio call in (72,501) (72,503) by Will from England Lol, she just slammed that phone down. (Saturday 11 February 2017; 15:37)

Re: Mariah Carey is a hard person to love these days (72,499) (72,502) by Bill from the UK (Scan reads for the words "Right to Dream".) I'm kidding, but I agree. A stripped down album, just her and a piano/guitar. All acoustic, maybe even have each song recorded in one take with no showy vocal acrobatics she can't replicate live. That I feel is all it would take to get her some respect amongst critics, peers, and dare I say, her fans. (Saturday 11 February 2017; 14:57)

New radio call in (72,501) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Here is the link to the audio. It's good that she got word of people being pissed about her supposedly burning her $250k Valentino wedding dress. She finally said that it's not her real wedding dress and that she got it from a bridal store but it's not an expensive one. Then she said she is making a promise that she'll buy someone the wedding dress she wore for their wedding. She as usual dodges questions about Bryan. She mentions some cute stuff about the twins especially Roc. Mariah was sweet throughout the interview and she sounded humble especially in the end where she was thanking anyone who heard any of her songs. But what the hell is wrong with the interviewer at the end? He says "Say hi to the twins from me, and I'm not talking about the kids." So inappropriate. (Saturday 11 February 2017; 14:44)

Mariah isn't hard to love, lambs are iffy (72,500) by Ty from USA No matter what she does, you girls complain, she releases I Don't, you rip her apart for sounding to urban, she gives you access to her personal life, you'll hate it, she lip sings Emotions' high notes, virtually brings the song out of retirement for you and you rip her. She's 47 years old and should be raising her kids and enjoying life. Be thankful. (Saturday 11 February 2017; 13:35)

Mariah Carey is a hard person to love these days (72,499) by Randy from USA But it's possible. See, what I don't want is her to throw down the mic and say I don't need this ish. Like she did in Glitter, or like Janet has done. I agree that MW was fine until it became about Tanaka. New Year's was a complete disaster and why is she touring with an artist twice her age? But when I hear Languishing, there's no denying she's the greatest singer/songwriter of all time. Everything has a shelf life. I don't think this sexy Jessica Rabbit image can hold up too much longer before she's laughed out of LA or NY or wherever she's living these days. I really want to see her tone the sexy down and sing a stripped down album with vocals she can replicate live. I think she will do that soon. She won't have a choice, because pretty soon she will look like Blanche Devareaux if she keeps this up. (Saturday 11 February 2017; 12:33)

Re: Unreal (72,488) (72,498) by Malcolm from Asia There's a difference between expressing your thoughts whether it's positive or negative and being an internet troll. (Saturday 11 February 2017; 10:04)

Re: Unreal (72,492) (72,497) by Hilton from USA If you've been more negative vs coming from a place of positivity then my message was for you. I clearly said distasteful posts, and I was also referring to people who think their [sic] therapists and they feel that need to diagnose someone that they don't know. Let's be clear here, no one on this board including myself likes everything this woman does but that does not give anyone the right to belittle, bad mouth and down right disrespect another human being. I was not addressing the individuals who come from a Ste Arn place of love. Don't assume you think you know what I'm talking about, when you don't. Lastly, if you've felt like you've been coming from a place of love then you can totally understand what I typed which again was in regards to the down right nasty messages on here. Gigi.

1 fewer fan (for now) (72,496) by Paul D from USA I will not buy I Don't because it's not the type of song for me. Glad many people like the song. This is the first song from her that I won't buy, other than Infamous. I watched the video once and it was enough for me. I've spent thousands of dollars collecting her CDs and have about 10 copies of every album and single. She's been promoting on social media, which excludes a lot of people (who don't use social media.) She's doing radio call ins but not 1 tv show performance. Why bother? Just tell her she's great and she has viral moments and all is well. I am no longer a fan, but I'm sure she has millions left. (Saturday 11 February 2017; 4:05)

Re: Relevance (72,483) (72,495) by B from USA Did someone forget to take her Midol today? (Saturday 11 February 2017; 3:03)

Stella plastic surgery (72,494) by Dan from US Her new video driving on instagram is real lame, and you can see all the work she is having done to herself. Hahaha. (Saturday 11 February 2017; 2:35)
