Mariah on the record (72,549) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Here is an old interview of Mariah with Fuse. 1) I like how the interviewer really knows her catalogue. Usually people just know the hits. He also asks good questions with a good balance between personal and professional stuff. 2) I miss interviews were Mariah properly answers questions and takes the interviews seriously and where we'd actually know what she's actually on the show for. Nowadays it's all diva act, dodging questions, going off tangent and rambling on, or looking bored and annoyed. I like how she talks about her songwriting process and how she came up with some of her songs and who inspired her. She is so articulate and humble here. 3) She actually says "I'm a grown up" haha, this is so rare. 4) One thing she mentions here possibly explains Mariah's situation. She says she "hates being the boss" and how she hates telling people what to do. She does say she is very hands on about making decision despite hating it. I think over the years she stopped that too and since she hates being the boss, she possibly finds it difficult to get rid of the leeches that seem to always find her.

Re: New radio call in (72,547) (72,548) by Andrew from UK I guess the point is: if you don't act classy, you can't expect people to treat you classy? I don't expect people on this board to tip toe around me because I'm extremely forthright. To be offended would be beyond comprehension. The voice and the bad songs aside, I could forgive a lot if she would just act like the person she used to be. I don't buy into "this is her". No way. She used to have class. [censored] knows where it went. That is not Mariah Carey in that video. It's an imposter. (Sunday 12 February 2017; 15:22)

Re: New radio call in (72,545) (72,547) by Bill from the UK I agree she shouldn't be on the receiving end of such comments, but then she's bought it entirely on herself and should not be surprised or offended when people say things like that to her. If he had said the same comment to Celine Dion, everybody would be appalled. Mariah? Not so much. You reap what you sow. (Sunday 12 February 2017; 14:34)

Re: Just a thought (72,532) (72,546) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Another blatant copy is the "Oh Baby, oh baby" part from Mariah's "Secret Love". Ariana's song "Baby I" basically took that part and made it the chorus. But no that's probably not the reason. Mariah's hate from Ariana comes from the "Ariana is the new Mariah", "Ariana is a younger Mariah" comparisons and how Ariana and her team basically lifted Mariah's style for Ariana's first album. They even pushed the "new Mariah" thing as a promo tool. (Sunday 12 February 2017; 13:43)

Re: New radio call in (72,543) (72,545) by Luke from United Kingdom There's no need for comments like that though, especially during an interview. So what if she wants to flaunt her body and be proud of what she has. I don't think she should have to change herself or alter the way she dresses just to stop men making degrading comments like that to her. (Sunday 12 February 2017; 13:19)

Re: Just a thought (72,532) (72,544) by Bill from the UK That's no different to Mariah not giving any credit for using Best Of My Love (Emotions) and I Want To Thank You (Make It Happen) samples without permission. She's not exactly in a position to cast the first stone. (Sunday 12 February 2017; 12:41)

Re: New radio call in (72,530) (72,543) by Bill from the UK Andrew does have a point. How Mariah has the audacity to be offended when somebody calls out the very thing she's been shoving in our faces since she first strutted down the theatre aisle in that pink crop top in the Heartbreaker video is beyond me. She paid money to have them enhanced, and even had them out on display when performing at a funeral, for heaven's sake. If she wants people to focus on the music and her songwriting, then make her music and songwriting the focus. (Sunday 12 February 2017; 12:39)

Re: "The Roof" video (72,536) (72,542) by Bill from the UK The Roof is one of her greatest videos. All the videos from the Butterfly album were excellent, but there was something extra special about the atmosphere this one in particular created. The shots in the limo, the flashbacks, out in the rain... beautiful. (Sunday 12 February 2017; 12:34)

Re: Mariah isn't hard to love, lambs are iffy (72,533) (72,540) by Licia from USA Lambs aren't iffy. Some of us just know she's more than capable of producing better material than she has been. Alot of the songs on MIAM prove that. (Sunday 12 February 2017; 11:37)

Re: Possible blessing in disguise (72,531) (72,539) by Licia from USA This is something we've all said. It's a great opportunity for both Mariah and Lionel. Hopefully her and her team can handle this situation like professionals. Mariah won't be the only artist affected if her team screws up. (Sunday 12 February 2017; 11:32)

Re: Possible blessing in disguise (72,531) (72,538) by Gigi from USA This is my hope. Although, I think Stella should be cut out of her life completely. (Sunday 12 February 2017; 11:21)

Re: "The Roof" video (72,525) (72,537) by Licia from USA I have to say I enjoy the video more than the actual song. (Sunday 12 February 2017; 11:17)

Re: "The Roof" video (72,525) (72,536) by MusicfanJ from Germany That's one of my all-time favorites. I love how she looked in it and the colours. The story with the flashback of the early 80ies is a nice idea. The song and video are pure Mariah. I even like the rap-part in the video. (Sunday 12 February 2017; 11:17)

Mariah' s top 5 best and worst singles (72,535) by Giovanni from USA 1. Vision of love 2. Emotions 3. Dreamlover 4. We belong together 5. Beautiful (still my last fav from our Mariah) 1. The roof (sorry lambs but I hate this song) 2. Touch my body 3. Obsessed 4. You're mine 5. Infinity (no,just no) (Sunday 12 February 2017; 10:20)

Another party with radio people (72,534) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So Mimi hosted another party this time at her place where a lot of radio people were invited. I love the jacket she's wearing and hoping for some better quality pictures. This is a full length shot of the ensemble. She looks great. The dress is nice. A close up moment. So this is the second party (as far as we know) like this within a few days where she's hanging out with radio personalities. However the promo for ID has almost died down, so I'm thinking this may be advance promo lined up for the single she said is coming this March? (Sunday 12 February 2017; 10:11)

Re: Mariah isn't hard to love, lambs are iffy (72,500) (72,533) by Hilton from USA Agreed. (Sunday 12 February 2017; 9:57)

Just a thought (72,532) by Malcolm from Asia What if the reason why Mariah seems playing coy towards Ariana is because she (or her record label ) did this song for her album but didn't credit "I've Been Thinking About You" as a sample and inspiration for it. I wonder why Mariah didn't take legal actions about that. (Sunday 12 February 2017; 8:01)

Possible blessing in disguise (72,531) by Nikki from usa Mariah originally said the SSFT was because she wasn't sure when she was going to tour again, yet the first thing this year was announcing opening for Lionel. I don't know who's idea this was, but it might be a good one. That's a lot of arenas to win some fans back if she can prove she's still got the goods. Since this is Richie's tour Mariah will get to see a pro at work and how things run under his control and that may give her a real comparison to how different it is under her own. That may be what she needs to move Stella to the friend with tv producing skills and find a professional with music experience to handle her own management. (Sunday 12 February 2017; 7:10)

Re: New radio call in (72,526) (72,530) by Andrew from UK No I'm absolutely not saying that anyone should be subjected to physical abuse. But reverse it: isn't it inappropriate for Mariah to have her breasts out all the time? Can't somebody be offended at her rampant sexuality flung in everyone's face 24/7? Should I expect my child to see Mariah acting like a sex worker when they turn on the television? I'm not saying she's the only one who does it. But she's kinda the worse one. I'm not sure blowing your tits up to gargantuan proportions and getting them out and touching them all the time gives you the right to be offended when somebody makes a joke about them. She clearly wants everyone to look at them. Perhaps the comment will make her realise that her appearance and her behaviour have lost her most of the respect she spent so many years building up.

Re: New radio call in (72,517) (72,529) by darrian liu from taiwan Stop [censored]-shaming Mariah. Don't [censored]-shame any woman for that matter, no matter how they dress or act. It's not ok. It's utterly disrespectful. This era shows a much more revealing Mariah, but does that allow you to [censored]-shame her? No. No it doesn't. (Sunday 12 February 2017; 6:26)

Re: Andrew (72,522) (72,528) by G.G. from USA That's all she ever does. It's really an unhealthy obsession. I almost feel bad for her. (Sunday 12 February 2017; 5:19)

Re: Andrew (72,522) (72,527) by Jon from South Africa Yeah. Totally sick individual. I feel so sorry for the people who are actually in his life and have to deal with him. It's so simple. If you don't like anything about Mariah you seriously need to move on. Really reminds me of a psycho ex who just can't let go and just cannot stop talking trash about you. Mariah doesn't see all of this. We who do love Mariah have to see all of this. And it's not about being a blind lamb, bla bla bla. I get upset all the time with Mariah and her antics because I truly know what a gem she is and know she can do so much better but at the end of the day I know it's her life, her career, her legacy. Guy please do yourself a favour and get some help. Like seriously. Your obsession is not normal. It is insane to hate someone and still go to their fan site everyday and blast them at any cost. And I'm not just saying this to be mean because I don't know you but what I can see from all the foul stuff that comes out of your mouth is that you obviously have many underlying psychological problems. Hell maybe even mummy issues. Maybe you just need a hug and reassurance that you are loved. I pray that someone can be there for you. And I've read your comeback before about how you've been this great fan and waited to see her and all that jazz, but you seriously need to look within and deal with your pain because it really is gonna affect all the real relationships in your life. Mariah will be fine. She always is. (Sunday 12 February 2017; 5:08)

Re: New radio call in (72,517) (72,526) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Somehow while I was writing that post I just knew you'd write something like this. You must be the type who say girls deserve to be (or asking to be) sexually assaulted because they dress a certain way. I am the first to voice my opinions about all the crap Mariah does but that comment the radio guy made was through and through inappropriate. (Sunday 12 February 2017; 2:06)

"The Roof" video (72,525) by Billy from Greece Mariah all wet, on top of the limo, in that rainy urban background, might as well be the best visual of any of her videos ever. (Sunday 12 February 2017; 1:19)
