New pics (73,911) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah was out at Catch LA looking absolutely flawless. Her face, her frame, her makeup and hair has not flaws, just look at this woman. I loved the dress too but the only problem is her Areola Grandes are on full display but she might not have known that and it could have been as a result of the bright flashes. Anyways she looks beautiful. (Friday 24 March 2017; 13:35)

Re: I Don't no-mix (73,900) (73,910) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter It's funny that the same fans who argue that "Mariah doesn't really care about the charts, she just releases songs as a favor for her fans" whenever a song flops are also ones that come up with excuses like "oh she didn't bother reworking the song because it would be counted as a separate song". If she doesn't care about charts then why would it stop her from creating a great remix which sounds different? At what point do the excuses stop? This message may look harsh but I only write this because I know Mariah is beyond crappy excuses and she is capable of making the best remixes. Her back catalogue speaks for itself. Some of her remixes her even better than the original versions. I'm not here for reality star Mariah Carey. I am a fan first and foremost of songstress and songwriter/producer Carey, can we get that title back when she's named in articles because now all we get is "reality star Mariah Carey spotted hanging out with blah blah".

Re: Mariah and Remy (73,897) (73,909) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Exactly, to think Mariah just happened to drop a random collab with Remy without any intention of "making headlines" is too naive. The whole promo video she posted on her Instagram for this collaboration is also juvenile and embarrassing. What does Remy add to this track really? I'd say TI's rap on WYM makes more sense than Remy's here, and that says a lot because I thought TI was the most unnecessary addition to WYM (no hate towards TI but that song already had too many features). Also let's not forget that the MC reference in "Shether" is nothing to be proud about because it basically translates to M not being the type who can stand up to Remy, "cause Mariah don't Carey" basically a play on not carrying a gun. Same with how she said Taylor Swift isn't swift enough to stand up for herself. That's not to say that Remy doesn't respect Mariah, I'm sure she does but this song wasn't exactly something for Mariah to be proud about being associated with. Then to allow Remy to use Mariah's voice on a diss track that doesn't involve her, what is Mariah thinking? Also Mariah should keep an eye out on Stella. Stella has worked with Minaj before (and not as a manager, Nicki isn't that naive) as part of her not so acclaimed reality show, and now she urges Mariah to diss Nicki and engage in silly feuds to look desperate, when Stella is fired, she'll not really sing praises about Mariah either.

Re: Mariah and Remy (73,897) (73,908) by Licia from USA Since they decided to be Petty Betty's and get involved, they could have at least brought a better song to the fight. (Friday 24 March 2017; 12:37)

Re: Celine, Aretha, and all that stuff... (73,884) (73,907) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada I can't even believe the Diva's Live thing gets talked about as much as it still does. Celine is an acting advisor on The Voice right now, whether you like her music or not, if you watch her interactions with people on there, you can see what a lovely, humble and genuine human being she is. That's not something you can fake. (Friday 24 March 2017; 12:28)

The Beautiful Ones (73,906) by harudo from singapore Been listening to MC's version and Prince' simultaneously the whole day and no matter how I forced my self to like the original I still think that Mariah's version surpasses the whole thing in terms of arrangements and vocal vibe. Not everyone can give a proper justice the way her team did in that song. Dunno if anyone feel the same as me about this masterpiece. (Friday 24 March 2017; 12:20)

The best revenge... (73,905) by Norman from USA Is success. This was not it. And it's not a dig at Remy or the original song, because I like them both individually. The problems here are: 1. This is not a remix. I don't even know what to call it, but it's definitely not that. 2. This collabo offers nothing new or needed to the track. 3. The promo for this was totally predicated on the GP's knowledge of the feud between the three women, and then doesn't deliver, in the least, on that premise. 4. By not delivering, it brings the heat down on Mariah because it's her song, and because this will be compared to Shether. It's inevitable. And it won't be pretty. This was a badly conceived and poorly executed stunt (even if I did enjoy the promo). At the end of the day, the revamping of this song won't attract any new fans for Mariah. And it won't do anything to silence those who are concerned about the lack of vision or direction in Mariah's camp. Instead, it actually bolsters the ridicule of the recent missteps, and gives the skeptics something else to hold on to. It seems like an exercise in futility. If Mariah's camp wanted to capitalize on Remy's new found fame, it would've better to collaborate on a whole new song, or completely rework this song. The song was already dead in the water, they didn't have to worry about keeping it afloat. So making a really good remix shouldn't have been a problem. Staying above the fray might've been an even better option. (Friday 24 March 2017; 10:19)

Re: Mariah and Remy Ma Remix, and that Busta collab (73,893) (73,904) by Malcolm from Asia And then what? What this "remix" supposed to mean? Are they aiming to be shady or what? I don't buy that Mariah just love Remy that's why this happened, no this is to add fuel to that Remy vs. Nicki and even that Mariah vs. Nicki, and they totally failed already. They can't even change the single cover for it and literally just paste Remy's verse. This is beyond disappointing and unnecessary. Fans on social media are mad about this also, hope they can see what they just did, awful. (Friday 24 March 2017; 08:11)

I Don't "Remix" (73,903) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines I know it's been pretty much official for years now but I guess this is yet another confirmation that the 90s and early 00s queen of remixes has forgotten what "remix" actually means. It's called "re-mix" for a reason. It's not called "take-the-original-chop-off-a-verse-or-two-replace-it-with-a-rap-verse-by-(insert rapper here)-and-then-call-it-a-remix". When fans make better remixes than the producers original creations, that's a huge problem. (Friday 24 March 2017; 08:11)

Re: Celine, Aretha, and all that stuff... (73,884) (73,902) by Carlos Lopez from Australia Mariah Carey is a great singer during her concerts but lacks confidence during live tv performances, let alone live singing with other singers, she comes from a place of hurt and insecurities.

Re: Article about Mariah and politic statements (73,883) (73,901) by Carlos Lopez from Australia Mariah's only political when it's a black president. (Friday 24 March 2017; 04:25)

I Don't no-mix (73,900) by CMC from NY,NY I'm aware of the new rules regarding Billboard and remixes being changed too much and not charting as same song. Which is all very weird because they're no longer remixes and should just be promoted more as a new "feature" on the track. Mariah being the musical genius that she is I would think that this bothers her, considering her past masterful remixes. That being said, "I don't" was far from a Billboard hit, believe it didn't even break through to 80? A remix with Remy tacked on won't do anything. Therefore it seems bizarre she wouldn't do a proper actually remixed song because she's so concerned about the month old non charting original version to chart higher. She could have taken this as a creative opportunity at this stage in her career to go back to the true remix and forget the new "charting rules". Get attention for turning tables on the rules and create a great women power anthem remix. The theme of "I don't" had obvious potential for that. Remy Ma is hot right now and perfect for that type of anthem, a la Hearthbreaker Remix (ft. Missy plus Da Brat). Mariah, Remy, and Niki fans would all tune in to hear if there is that shade towards Niki. It could have been its own hit. Separate from the original, most likely more successful. It seems like an obvious win win idea. Yet what what we got, and they're calling a "remix" seems completely uninspired, lazy, thoughtless, and like Mariah doesnt even have that creative drive at all left. Very disappointing as a day one fan who's lived through the excitement of those true remixes. Unfortunately I'm really starting to not care, probably similar to Mariah. (Friday 24 March 2017; 04:17)

Re: I Don't (feat. Remy Ma & YG) (Remix) (73,886) (73,899) by Lila from United States We're on year three of these never ending embarrassing antics. It's insane. Every time we think she can't sink any lower, she takes us to the curb. (Friday 24 March 2017; 03:30)

Re: Mariah and Remy Ma Remix, and that Busta collab (73,894) (73,898) by RibbonB from USA Did you happen to see Remy Ma on Empire last night? Interesting. I think Empire and Taraji are definitely team Remy. Her rap was wack, and she can barely dance, but it was a cool surprise moment. Now if Mariah and Remy had made a surprise move that would have been something. Lol. Mimi needs too much drama and fanfare for a surprise appearance though. (Friday 24 March 2017; 01:36)

Re: Mariah and Remy (73,891) (73,897) by Special K from USA You really believe that for real? Come on now. The fued between Remy and Nicki is personal just like the fued between Mariah and Nicki is personal. Mariah out to be ashamed inserting herself into the Remy vs Nicki situation. First, she let Remy use her voice on Another One and now all of sudden Remy is featured on I Don't. Why? Just because Remy dropped her name in Shether? Give me a freakin break. This shit is tragic here. Mariah need to grow up and get her grown woman on and stop trying so hard to be down. (Friday 24 March 2017; 01:33)

Re: "I'm free" vs "If it's over" (73,885) (73,896) by Special K from USA Hi Stacey. I'm Free is an outstanding track that doesn't get the recognition it deserves. Girl you be representing Daydream to the fullest. Lol. (Friday 24 March 2017; 01:13)

Re: I Don't (feat. Remy Ma & YG) (Remix) (73,881) (73,895) by Special K from USA Remy sound wack as hell. This shit is straight garbage. I'm too through. What the hell Mariah? (Friday 24 March 2017; 01:08)

Re: Mariah and Remy Ma Remix, and that Busta collab (73,888) (73,894) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha I don't necessarily mind a whisper fest, "The One" and "So Lonely" are 2 of my favorite Mariah tracks and she whispers away. So I'm not concerned about that, but I hope it's not uninspired and lazy and half though out. I really miss Mariah's drive to push a project properly and to give it her all. She is taking up so many random projects left and right, and then she doesn't have much time left so she ends up not pushing any of her projects properly and they all seem to come out half done. Unless there is any financial crisis, I really wish she'd take on less projects and prioritize quality over quantity. But there must be some financial situation involved because Stella said straight up that she was hired to make Mariah more money. So that explains her taking up all the crappy stuff. A "match.com" ad? Who would have thought? (Friday 24 March 2017; 00:09)

Re: Mariah and Remy Ma Remix, and that Busta collab (73,890) (73,893) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Do yourself a favor and treat this like you treated Mariah's World. Pretend it never happened. Haha. This is yet another uninspired, half thought out thing. (Friday 24 March 2017; 00:04)

Re: Mariah and Remy (73,891) (73,892) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter You really think these stories are being put out without Mariah/Stella's involvement? Please. Mariah has love for a lot of artists and they love her right back but did they all collaborate? Nope. This collaboration happened only because they wanted people to talk about the feud. Mariah's voice was featured on the second Nicki diss track and of course Remy would need Mariah's approval to use her voice. And that song got falsely promoted as a "Remy featuring Mariah" moment. You can't tell me it's a coincidence that they just happened to collaborate out of the blue. (Friday 24 March 2017; 00:03)

Mariah and Remy (73,891) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) As usual the media is making something out of nothing. The Remy vs Nicki feud is nothing more than who's the best rapper, it's nothing personal or that serious. Also Mariah and Remy actually have a mutual respect for each other and are fans of one another's music. The Ante Up remix is one of Mariah's favorite songs ever and she loves Remy's verse on that record, she has said this on different occasions. Also Remy said how she is has been a fan of Mariah's as well she has even said how Mariah's Christmas music puts her in the holiday spirit among other compliments. So all in all it's nothing to see here folks. (Thursday 23 March 2017; 22:32)

Re: Mariah and Remy Ma Remix, and that Busta collab (73,882) (73,890) by Licia from USA I'm scared to even listen to this remix. Is Remy's rap any good? Since there's no new vocals all I can really hope for is that at least the rap is decent. I too miss the days of Mariah doing a real remix. She used to make a song into something completely new. Coming from someone who's a fan of the rap remixes, there honestly was no need to do a rap remix or to try to capitalize off this Nicki /Remy fued (if that's even what they tried to do). The song is already pretty much dead. They should have just let it go. (Thursday 23 March 2017; 22:19)

Remixes (73,889) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) The rules with remixes and releases are different nowadays than years past. If you change the vocals and sound too much it's now considered an entirely new song. So maybe this is the reason for uninspiring, lazy remixes today. Though it's disappointing because I have became so spoiled with the sheer brilliance of an MC remix. I just wish MC would put the effort into her craft like she did early on in her career. On another note I would not mind another MC/Remy Ma collaboration but on something fresh and better thought out. (Thursday 23 March 2017; 22:06)

Re: Mariah and Remy Ma Remix, and that Busta collab (73,882) (73,888) by RibbonB from USA A whisper fest? Just like their other collabo. Will she once again gyrate in cutoffs? (Thursday 23 March 2017; 21:06)

Who's Busta (73,887) by Giovanni from USA I don't know her. (Thursday 23 March 2017; 20:39)
