Re: Mariah's World update (64,918) (64,942) by RJJ12 from USA Thanks Stacie. December is the perfect time. I get they were promoting it initially but I think they were waiting on whether they could book the SA Leg of the tour. Summer would have been a bad time as everyone is outside enjoying the weather. The fall would been a bad choice as well as all the major shows that pull all the ratings come back and it would have gotten buried. In December, everyone is inside. She dominates that month with AIWFCIY. I think it was smart as the can book her promotional spots and promote all things Mariah from Christmas music, to the Beacon Theater, Mariah's World, and hopefully (fingers crossed) a new song. I think they are planning to do a Mariah onslaught on promoting all these projects simultaneously. She has a better chance of success as December is the month Mariah takes over. If she could book a Rockefeller performance with her revived vocals it could garner more press and interest in all things Mariah. I would like her to do a acapella number or a stripped down version focusing on her live vocals. An 8 episode show would run throughout December and January. Then her first Halmark Special in February. Hoping for a surprise album release in the spring. This is make or break for Stella not Mariah. If 2014 isolated vocals didn't destroy her career, a docu-series won't. Just my thoughts. (Thursday 4 August 2016; 2:45)

Been on a little vacation (64,941) by Licia from USA I see nothing has changed much on the board or in Mariah's World since I've been gone lol. All I can say is I'm so over this show. I wasn't excited about it when she announced it and now that it's been pushed back I'm even less happy and I'm for sure not going to watch. I just have a bad feeling. I did have a small happy moment seeing her in the studio, but those studio pics don't make me as excited as they used to. I'll hold in my excitement until I hear a song. As always I wish her the best. Even if I don't like what she's doing I always want her to win. (Thursday 4 August 2016; 2:08)

Re: Hozier / Brittany Howard (64,932) (64,940) by RibbonB from USA Wait, what, Womack? Wow. I love some of his music, obviously "If you think you're lonely now wait until tonight". Mariah gave up a lot just sampling that line for WBT. Womack etc. got co-song writing credit, for little or no lyrics, but that is a memorable song. The whole copyright sampling thing is a delicate and expensive issue either pay up front, or be sued and pay lots later, especially if it's a hit. Anita Baker is so smooth, she is a winner. But Hozier is one of my favorite of the new crop of singer songwriters, especailly of the males. I love James Bay too. Hozier has this very deep soulful, troubled quality, also vulnerability. I would love to see what he and MC could do, especially with those vocal arrangements. Of the new ladies, I adore Brittany Howard of Alabama Shakes. Taylor got record of the year, when it could easily have been the Shakes. Brittany and Mariah could have some really cool, edgy and otherworldly collaborations too. "Sound and Color" is another record that I keep on repeat even after a couple of years. If Mariah could start writing the right songs, she could easily have her music in more movies or TV shows. Both Brittany and Hozier are getting a lot of play in both those arenas after only one or two records each. (Wednesday 3 August 2016; 23:25)

Re: I feel it (64,933) (64,939) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Thank you. I mean I know some people here love it, but To The Floor sticks out a little bit too much of the tracklist, and not in a good way. It's one of those very few Mariah songs that are shockingly devoid of an easily discernible melody. (Wednesday 3 August 2016; 23:25)

That promo image (64,938) by Liz Archer from Sweden Yes I agree. It's terrible. I don't understand how Mariahs team or the studio of the show thought that was a "great" image. Just look at the picture for "Mariah Carey, we miss you". THIS image would have been perfect. We see her on a stage. Light effect in the background. She is in a fabulous - but still classy - dress. She is holding a mic. She is smiling and in the for front you see the shadows of the crowed holding up their phones. I mean that image shows clearly what she is about and what has made her the star she was (I mean is ). Instead she looks like some gangster (to put it in hard words). I really don't get the message they want to give for this show. Either it's bad style, or bad idea or bad editing or all above. I'm not happy about that promo image. It's not a good one, but what can you do? It does seems she is hiring the worst people who doesn't understand what is good, or maybe it's on her or Stella's orders. Usually Mariah has good style, but it does goes terrible wrong at times. (Wednesday 3 August 2016; 23:22)

Re: I feel it (64,933) (64,937) by RibbonB from USA To The Floor is the worst. (Wednesday 3 August 2016; 23:13)

Mariah's Daydream voice (64,936) by Giovanni from USA I don't understand how a lot of people say that Mariah sounded her best during the "Daydream" era. I have to disagree, if anything her voice sounded weaker. If you compare "Daydream" Mariah to 1990 Mariah you can clearly tell Mariah was much more stronger and powerful in her debut. She still was going strong up until 1994 then kind of declined in 1995 and 1996. 1997 was much better in my opinion due to her sexy tone and rasp. She regained power and seemed to shine again in her upper belts ala "Divas live". In all honesty I wished Mariah's voice would have stayed the way it was in 1997. Her make up and ensembles were on point during that era. I don't think I have ever seen a more gorgeous woman. Evidently I've been listening to "The beautiful ones". Mariah ate Prince up and easily sang it better. (Wednesday 3 August 2016; 23:01)

Re: Random (64,919) (64,935) by Giovanni from USA You crack me up Mimi L. I would have to say no to the dress. It isn't age appropriate nor compliments her new body. I don't even think. Jennifer Lopez would look good in that thing lol. (Wednesday 3 August 2016; 22:42)

Re: I feel it (64,911) (64,933) by Giovanni from USA Agreed, I read that the reason why it never made the album was because the label didn't want to pay for sample rate the copyright's owner wanted lol. So lame huh. I also found out "I feel it" was the second song Mariah recorded for "The Emancipation Of Mimi". If I could pick one song to replace "I feel it" with it would be "To the floor". Never cared for that track. (Wednesday 3 August 2016; 22:38)

Re: Hozier (64,905) (64,932) by Giovanni from USA You're right, I'm definitely going to order it. As of now I've been listening to Bobby Womack, Anita Baker and some Adele. I definitely could use someone different. Thanks. (Wednesday 3 August 2016; 22:29)

Re: Testimony (64,929) (64,931) by MusicfanJ from Germany Oh yes, there is healing in her voice. When I had a lot of troubles Daydream saved me. The first time I heard her magical voice I'll never forget. (Wednesday 3 August 2016; 21:43)

Promo image (64,930) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Here is the promo image. Thoughts? There's something really off about the image. First of all, it looks like her head has been photo shopped from another picture. Then the whole posture just looks off. Like what is going on? Why is this the promo image? Does Mariah have no promo budget anymore? I mean this picture is the same as her instagram picture, which was probably taken by either Mishka or Stella. And they use that, with a photo shopped head for the promo shot of her reality show, oh sorry, docu-series? The Kardashians would never settle for this. (Wednesday 3 August 2016; 21:27)

Re: Testimony (64,913) (64,929) by Mike from FL, USA I think each one of us became a fan for that same reason (amongst many other factors); that there is definitely a healing power in her voice and lyrics. For me, that's what I'm missing lately - that magic. The MC we all know and love is still in there somewhere and I haven't given up on her. (Wednesday 3 August 2016; 21:18)

Re: Random (64,923) (64,928) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter She got the equivalent of "catching them all" when she got Mariah. (Wednesday 3 August 2016; 21:12)

Re: Mariah's World "delay" (64,922) (64,927) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I will never understand why the take forever to make announcements. Like the whole thing with this second leg of the SSFT tickets, now this. Where on earth is the official release? (Wednesday 3 August 2016; 21:11)

Re: Mariah's World logo (64,920) (64,926) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So is the promo picture for the SSFT. How is this even a flattering picture? She had so many gorgeous shots live from stage. Secondly, what is up with that hideous edit? I swear for one of the richest musicians in the world, Mariah sure hand picks the worst people to do her work. (Wednesday 3 August 2016; 21:09)

A Street Car Named Desperate (64,925) by RibbonB from USA Stella. I wonder if she is panicking right about now. Probably not. I wonder if Mariah is actually paying her a percentage for her services. Someone said Mariah's old team was draining her dry and that at least Stella has her own money. But Stella and her crew are also being towed around at great expense for MC. In addition, Stella must be getting her hefty "management" fee, not to mention all the salaries her family is earning as Mariah's accountant, and other various handlers. I can't imagine why Mariah wants or needs all of this and why Packer would want this either, but it's all just so weird, so until the next act. (Wednesday 3 August 2016; 20:57)

Re: Mariah's World "delay" (64,922) (64,924) by RibbonB from USA This is all so weird. (Wednesday 3 August 2016; 20:48)

Re: Random (64,919) (64,923) by Todd from Sydney, Australia I feel like I've seen her in this dress before around the Butterfly era. She's looks good. But again, there's that child clinging on to Mariah for dear life. Isn't there some Pokémon she should catching, or some Taylor Swift she should be listening to? (Wednesday 3 August 2016; 20:04)

Re: Mariah's World "delay" (64,891) (64,922) by THE TRUTH from USA No. It has been "delivered" is in the can and on the shelf at E for some time now. It is in a holding pattern there with no scheduled release date. Any solid dates you have seen have been fabricated and leaked by Stella. This is not conjecture it's a fact. (Wednesday 3 August 2016; 18:43)

Re: All sex, no class (64,914) (64,921) by THE TRUTH from USA You've been sounding pretty bitter lately mate. If you have so much beef why do you spend so much time here? Lonely? Need to vent? Therapist? (Wednesday 3 August 2016; 18:39)

Mariah's World logo (64,920) by Carlos from Brazil The new logo is really bad. It feels like it was done in a rush and by an amateur. Now this is what I call cheap image. (Wednesday 3 August 2016; 18:36)

Random (64,919) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah looks nice here, I like the subtle makeup. I don't know how I feel about the dress yet. I have to say, Stella actually looks good without that garish orange tan and red lipstick, the signature contour excess is still there but she actually looks quite pretty here. Last but not the least, Mariah's World has a new profile picture and let me just say, have you all ever seen a more professional edit job? I think not. (Wednesday 3 August 2016; 16:42)

Re: Mariah's World update (64,902) (64,918) by Stacey from USA RJ112, I actually think it makes sense to release it after Thanksgiving. MC owns Christmas. (Wednesday 3 August 2016; 16:33)

Re: All sex, no class (64,914) (64,917) by MusicfanJ from Germany Everytime I ask myself the same (what happened) when I see a new photo. Especially those on instagram. On Facebook there's a site called Mariah Classic. If you look at it you could think it's a complete different person. But I won't give up hope to see that Mariah again.
