MW sneak peaks (71,636) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter This video of Mariah and Tanaka is just so cringe worthy, like why should she even approve these? Mariah clearly can't even keep a straight face with the ridiculous script and Tanaka should just stick to his day job of dancing and not even try with acting. The script looks like it's written by an 8 year old. So corny and cheesy and using one of Mariah's most personal and beautiful songs for this mess? The level of disrespect. Ok so this second clip pretty much confirms Bryan has this one very specific face that he makes when he is on a script, with his jaws clenched and a slightly visible pout. Also Bryan, do you really want the reputation of being the dude who sleeps his way to the top? I guess it doesn't matter, any publicity works. Finally some studio related talk in the third clip, this must eventually lead to the new single. (Thursday 26 January 2017; 2:38)

Re: Video preview (71,620) (71,635) by RibbonB from USA Lol. Well, Mollie I think this video will have a home made look, since they probably filmed it in her house. YG was bragging on snapchat about being there with his homeys. Mariah is sparing all expense for this moment. Lol. (Thursday 26 January 2017; 2:22)

Re: The rap game (71,610) (71,634) by RibbonB from USA Lol I think she said Fritos, but yes I agree, no more silly lyrics for a while. (Thursday 26 January 2017; 2:20)

Re: Mariah Wonderwall (71,629) (71,633) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Isn't that from Wale's verse in YDWTD? (Thursday 26 January 2017; 1:46)

Everyone asking: why open for Lionel? (71,632) by Ty from USA I'm on Facebook and a friend posts, why is Mariah opening Lionel? She is the legend. I'm not sure this is a good idea. At first I'm like, well she can win over the old-heads but now. Stella what are you doing? (Thursday 26 January 2017; 1:09)

Re: The rap game (71,610) (71,631) by Licia from USA May clearly you know nothing about hip hop and it's not going anywhere. Gucci Mane was an established artist way before he started working with Mariah (I can agree that his reputation has not been the best outside of music though). Many of the artists she's worked with were and are very established. Some of them were not known as internationally or globally as her, but they were known. Lol. (Thursday 26 January 2017; 0:41)

Re: Over and over again (71,625) (71,630) by lil star from untied states I agree she needs to change her sound but I don't agree that it has to be uptempo per say. A lot of artists have had hits with mid tempo songs they just have a good beat behind it . Rihanna's whole last album was midtempo but it had an edge to it that people couldn't resist. Maybe that's what JD ment by hard? Maybe we are getting a more angry Mariah? Maybe a darker one? She has shown more interest in that sound with all the Weeknd buzz. Maybe it's not the sound we were hoping (I think everyone was hoping for a more disco pop sound that she played with on YDKWTD and Meteorite). (Thursday 26 January 2017; 0:38)

Re: Mariah Wonderwall (71,624) (71,629) by Luke from United Kingdom Yes Andrew I know what song it was haha. (Thursday 26 January 2017; 0:34)

O Screaming London Lamb (71,628) by Andrew from UK I tried listening to Charmbracelet again; some songs are okay. But the soft cooing on every song is too much to bear. It's like trying to watch a full episode of Mariah's World without vomiting blood. Well, I jest. But it's funny how listening to an old Mariah album all the way through can make you feel like you did in the period of your life during which it was released. For me it is, anyway. All the thoughts and feelings I had at that time of my life came flooding back, memories of the people I knew well back then but have long since drifted from, the grotty place I lived in, the person I tried hard to love but dumped (in, um, Paris). I guess it's because I never really listen to it. I suppose when you listen to an artist so much, and follow them so closely in your life, that they pretty much score it. Tonight, I was thinking of those years again and I thought I'd see if anything of the London leg of Charmbracelet tour was on YouTube because I was there, and it turns out that this is. Complete timewarp. And I'm posting it because 1) I can. 2) It's pretty good. But mainly 3) Because of the intro. Mariah: "Anybody out there tonight reaching for a dream?" Screaming London Lamb: "Yeeeeesssss." Mariah: "Then this is for you. And you. And you." [pause] Screaming London Lamb: "And meeeeeeeee!" (Really do need the extra letters and the exclamation marks there.) So, if you're out there, Screaming London Lamb, in whatever place the world has taken you to since those many years ago when we were in that same arena together, it was most definitely for you. I hope you Made It Happen. You just absolutely made my night. (Thursday 26 January 2017; 0:29)

Re: Great interview / early 2010s (71,606) (71,627) by Jimbob88 from UK She was so animated and honest here. This is the artist as a true legend. I like how she glazed over the question about her vocal deterioration however - clearly not comfortable talking about it. (Thursday 26 January 2017; 0:28)

Re: JD tweet (71,616) (71,626) by Licia from USA I hope JD is right this time. That was my whole issue with Triumphant. Rick's rap didn't fit the theme of the song. Meeks rap was way better and what he rapped about made sense with the song. If she would have left Rick off or his lyrics had been better Triumphant would have been much more enjoyable. Also if she would have made a non rap version of the original and just used meek and Rick for the remix (like she used to do) more fans would have been happy. I believe that's why all her collaborations from back in the day worked. We got a regular, a rap remix, and a dance mix. That pretty much gave her whole fanbase something they wanted. Also she just didn't copy and paste raps or vocals in. (Thursday 26 January 2017; 0:13)

Over and over again (71,625) by George Golden from UK Please if she doesn't change her sound and do something seriously uptempo it will flop big time. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expect a different outcome each time. Those silly rap midtempo tracks is just really lame at this point. (Wednesday 25 January 2017; 23:59)

Re: Mariah Wonderwall (71,622) (71,624) by Andrew from UK "Today is gonna be the day that they're gonna throw it back to you." I see another plagiarism suit coming up. But you do know what that song she is singing was. Right? (Wednesday 25 January 2017; 23:17)

Re: New song (71,621) (71,623) by Norman from USA This is at least a glimmer of hope that the vocals weren't rushed. What remains to be seen is how well YG is incorporated into the song and how they gel within it. Thanks for the update. (Wednesday 25 January 2017; 23:09)

Mariah Wonderwall (71,622) by Luke from United Kingdom I know this is random but I saw a Mariah fanpage post this video on Instagram the other day and I thought the song she was singing was Wonderwall by Oasis. When I listened to it again I knew it wasn't because the lyrics were different but I then imagined her singing it and how amazing it would be. Especially in that same tone. I don't know why she doesn't sing like that more often, it sounds so emotional and pleasing to the ears. (Wednesday 25 January 2017; 23:04)

New song (71,621) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) According to Shawn (Mariah's nephew) this new song that will preview on Sunday was recorded mostly during her time in Capri and completed on Sunday but he is not sure if things regarding the song has changed since he first heard it the rough cut in Capri. Regarding JD's tweet I take everything as I will judge for myself and come to my opinion regarding said song. I am kind of nervous but excited to hear what MC has been up to musically lately as all we have heard in recent times is more of the back catalogue. (Wednesday 25 January 2017; 22:41)

Re: Video preview (71,611) (71,620) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Oh Lord, the level of creativity, I just can't. (Wednesday 25 January 2017; 22:09)

Re: Article: Singer Mariah Carey's net worth seems like a fantasy (71,612) (71,619) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Her finances were taken over by a member of the Bulochnikov family. Both her accounts and legal sides. I do hope though that she personally keeps an eye on her finances. (Wednesday 25 January 2017; 22:07)

Re: New music video (71,614) (71,618) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter This will probably be a "in studio" video like OSD or "Angels Cry". Also #Beautiful was almost completely shot in front of a green screen so that explains the long post production process. (Wednesday 25 January 2017; 22:04)

Read my article (71,617) by Mariah from USA Read my article on the queen Mariah Carey here. (Wednesday 25 January 2017; 21:08)

JD tweet (71,616) by RibbonB from USA So, JD tweeted that this new MC record is hard. Not sure if he has much credibility, but that is his opinion. He said TAOLG was the new VOL. Not quite. I just hope the song makes sense lyrically and that the rap fits the song. Triumphant was all off because Rick Ross's lyrics made no sense to the song and Meek Mill's verse was a little better. Hopefully Mariah is more than a feature on her own song. (Wednesday 25 January 2017; 19:21)

Re: Great interview / early 2010s (71,606) (71,615) by RibbonB from USA Yes, that is a really great interview. She had a lot of good warm moments during that era. I miss that Mariah, more grounded, humble, thankful. Now she is being that kind of "boss" she said she never wanted to be. So glad she has Roc and Roe and I hope they don't become too jaded as they grow older and are exposed to the realities of life. (Wednesday 25 January 2017; 19:11)

New music video (71,614) by T from USA Considering #Beautiful took two full days and over three weeks of post production to complete I'm a little worried about this one being done with a recording the whole song in 24 hours. Auld Lang Syn video comes to mind. (Wednesday 25 January 2017; 18:50)

Article: Singer Mariah Carey's net worth seems like a fantasy (71,612) by RibbonB from USA Lots of shade in this piece. I do hope she has an outside accounting firm with lots of financial backing reviewing her finances, especially since Crusterellas involvement (Wednesday 25 January 2017; 17:48)

Video preview (71,605) (71,611) by RibbonB from USA Mollie L. I think Mariah was out to dinner with the whole crew including Crustella Blusherella. Maybe they will all be in the video for posterity. MC will break out in a C-walk upsetting YG who reps Bompton, she puts on the ring to represent her short engagement, then she ends up on a beach in Hawaii with the Help singing girl-power as she rides on his back, therefore popping his patella once again. The video ends with her driving off on a jet-ski to her air BnB to ride off into the sunset with Roc and Roe. Crustella Blusherella is screaming and filming it all for her IG post. The end.
