Re: Mariah's World: Finale aka Dear Lord no S2 (71,771) (71,791) by RibbonB from USA Lol it's funny and sad all the people who really thought she wasn't going exactly where she projected she was going with this show and story line. People were like, oh Tanaka is gay, he is bi, these are skits, these are jokes. The joke is on her fans. Many are cool with it though. She comes off as totally inauthentic and not very likeable IMO, but she definitely has committed to her part. If she proceeds with number two, I hope she doesn't do a Sherrie Shepard and agree to a surrogate baby with the help. Sherrie is paying child support for 18 years for a baby that is not even hers. She totally played herself too. Women do wacky stuff sometimes. Oh well. (Monday 30 January 2017; 12:46)

Re: MW episode 8 : Mimi L review (71,773) (71,790) by RibbonB from USA Well obviously I didn't get my one good outcome. I am still hoping for no season two of Mariah's World. They really got out their revisionist pens for this one it seems. Glad the family part with Nick and his mom was good and cute at least. They do seem the only realistic thing. I heard the longer snippet and clips of it on Twitter and it sounds OK, but as I thought, Mariah makes herself out to be the victim. Very Trump like again with the "alternative facts". The lyrics seem to be very much about Nick though, especially since she hardly had time with James, nor did she seem to develop and closeness with him and we all know he said I don't. They all made it clear that she got dumped and was still waiting for her fee so I still don't get why she is still wearing the ring and why they were just filming scenes last week etc. Oh well, time to let this puzzle go and listen out for any good new music. If she wants to sell fake melodramatic music, it might be good not to show all the mess behind the curtain while filming and recording. As always, I hope the kids are doing OK in all of this mess.

Re: MW finale plot twist? (71,770) (71,789) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Now that we've had the worst possible scenario as the finale, can you please share your theory/idea? I need some positivity after this mess. (Monday 30 January 2017; 12:36)

Re: MW episode 8 : Mimi L review (71,781) (71,788) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter For sure there will be more of those awkward dance steps that they do everytime they see each other, whether it's at the bar, in the house, at the gazebo or on the beach. Stella will be lurking in the shadows like she does everytime M and Tanaka are alone and eventually come out when things turn a little too much, because she needs to ensure her position isn't taken by anyone. (Monday 30 January 2017; 12:34)

Re: MW episode 8 : Mimi L review (71,783) (71,787) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha absolutely. Ain't no way Stella will allow anyone to have Mariah but herself. In season 2 we'll see how Tanaka was only using Mariah and Stella is the only one who loved Mariah unconditionally and with all her heart. (Monday 30 January 2017; 12:32)

Re: Nevermind, it's a bop (71,782) (71,786) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The longer version does make the song sound more promising. I just wish the lyrics were a bit better though. I have always been a fan of Mariah's lyrics because they are always so unique and poetic. Anyways I might change my mind when I hear the full song. However I don't think that at some point in the song she'll say it's partly her fault, especially after the latest episode where she basically talked about how "he's put her through hell" and how horrible the relationship was. They are trying to turn it around by saying M was the one who got hurt because James was bad and so M dumped him. Throughout the season there wasn't even 1 scene where James and Mariah were alone talking, it was always her arriving at a public place/party with her entourage and then basically "socializing" with James for a few hours and going back home. Whereas there are so many scenes of her alone with Tanaka and flirting. How can a relationship survive like that? We don't get this feeling just from MW though, remember we were all talking about how M is never alone on dates with Packer because her entourage is always there in paparazzi shots? So weird. In the scene where they were trying to figure out (or Stella basically rejecting) the wedding date, Mariah was like "oh well what about the 16th?" And Stella is like "no you're not available". I'm like what? She can't take a date off for her wedding? Even regular people get days off. Funny to say "oh we can't be together, our schedules don't match". (Monday 30 January 2017; 12:31)

MW #8 is the best episode: Nick and Mariah (71,785) by Sheila from United States The song does remind me of Infinity. But a little more radio friendly, at least she gave us a slight piano moment, a VOL vocal run moment and she gave fierce fashion and glamour in this episode. Finally. The highlight for me was not the song, but Nick and Mariah. It was the rare authentic moment, and that's the "real" Mariah. Loved it so much. (Monday 30 January 2017; 11:52)

Re: Mariah interview (71,767) (71,784) by Norman from USA Love (all caps) that interview (exclamation). Can you imagine Glitter set in the 70s with an all soul soundtrack? Thank you for posting this. (Monday 30 January 2017; 11:33)

Re: MW episode 8 : Mimi L review (71,781) (71,783) by Licia from USA Lol Season 2 will begin with her being engaged to Banaka Tanaka and it will end with her marrying Stella. I can see it now. Stella will be the only man in Mariah's life besides Roc. Lol. (Monday 30 January 2017; 11:08)

Re: Nevermind, it's a bop (71,776) (71,782) by Licia from USA The longer version kind of helps. I still don't like that semi fast vocal moment in the first verse. It gets better for me on the chorus. There's hope I may purchase this song on Friday. Lol I agree with you on the lyrics. I don't like how she's turning this on him. Hopefully there's a part in the full version where she takes responsibility for her part in the situation. Afterall the pictures and Snapchat videos of her don't lie. Marissa you know how this goes. It's everyone's fault except for Mariah. Lol. (Monday 30 January 2017; 11:04)

Re: MW episode 8 : Mimi L review (71,779) (71,781) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands I have a feeling there will be a second season of Mariah's World (if the network doesn't cancel the show). The next season will be about Mariah's wedding to Bryan, and them going on honeymoon (of course Stella and her family will join them). I'm already curious how the will film the wedding night. (Monday 30 January 2017; 11:01)

Re: Mariah interview (71,767) (71,780) by Dennis from Miami, FL I don't remember any other time, exept for Daydream promo in London, when Mariah mentioned Madonna at all. And why always Madonna's first album? Why not True Blue or Like a Virgin? She also mentions those demos for VOL and Hypnotized. Will we ever hear them? (Monday 30 January 2017; 10:59)

Re: MW episode 8 : Mimi L review (71,773) (71,779) by Licia from USA I told y'all they were going to make it seem as if she cancelled the wedding. It's embarrassing for the Mariah Carey to be dumped. Blusharella was not going to allow that to happen even though she was part of the cause of the relationship ending. Lol I so hope there's no season 2 of this mess. (Monday 30 January 2017; 10:48)

Re: Nevermind, it's a bop (71,776) (71,778) by Will from England Personally, I thought it almost sounded as if she wrote it from both James' and her own perspectives rather than just hers. (Monday 30 January 2017; 10:44)

Re: Mariah's World: Finale aka Dear Lord no S2 (71,771) (71,777) by Licia from USA I hate that I missed the birthday outing with Nick and his mom. I love to see them all together. She seems to let loose a little more with Nick and the kids (sometimes). I respect them trying to be civil for the babies. I love that Nick always makes sure his mom is there for the twins as well. (Monday 30 January 2017; 10:36)

Nevermind, it's a bop (71,776) by Marissa from USA What a difference a full video makes. Sounds like a semi-bop and probably the most solid song she's made in years. I thought it was going to be trash from the first video I saw. Lyrically I'm not feeling it only because she's trying to frame James as this horrible person when she was practically (if not fully) cheating on him for a large chunk of the relationship. Her disrespecting her relationship almost the whole time and trying to make it seem like he was a shitty person is evil and I'm disappointed in the way she's acting. Sorry positive lambs, but based on her behavior, James deserved way (caps) better than her. Being pretty was about all she brought to the table in that particular relationship. I'd gladly take Mariah sloppy seconds: a nice, lowkey, romantic and generous billionaire? Sign me the f*** up while Mariah takes L's with a backup dancer. It's gonna take a lot for me to overlook the context in which the song was written, but I think it's pretty nice from what I heard. (Monday 30 January 2017; 10:21)

Re: New song (71,746) (71,775) by darrian liu from taiwan I think you're talking about her airy, whispery voice. It's not an actual register, just some texture manipulation, but I too, don't like her voice in the snippet. When she goes into the fuller, chest voice it sounded tight and strangled, although she should be comfortable in those notes (G4-D5). Her voice sounds dry and lacks that punch, fullness and brightness she had in the 2014-2015 shows of Beacon theater and the SSFT European dates. As a result her airy voice starts to sound dry too. Her airy voice sounds better in MIAM and I think sounds the best in Charmbracelet era. She should see a vocal coach while she still has it. She has to cancel season 2 and do a hiatus, seriously. Taking a four year break like Adele after 21 is a good idea. In those 4 years she can get a grip on herself, be with her kids, train those vocals, be healthier and reflect on her life and career and most importantly reflect on the people she has around. Remove toxic ones (looking at you, Blush ). (Monday 30 January 2017; 7:59)

I don't (71,774) by Dan from US I do love her vocals and the beat so far. I can't freaking wait until the 3rd, like Mariah stop the teasing with your music just drop it with no info, that would be much better lol, can't wait. (Monday 30 January 2017; 7:11)

MW episode 8 : Mimi L review (71,773) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter 1) M and Co. are having a good time at the zoo. It's their last stop for the tour. 2) Unnecessary scene between Bryan and Tanaka (basically talking about how they're both excited about him being the co-creative director). 3) Haha M is wearing the most ridiculously impractical high heels (stilettos, no less, not even wedged heels) to a safari park. Can relate 100%. 4) She's putting on her last show. Stella is crying watching M as she performs. Post show celebrations. Drama-naka is already complaining about how Anthony is not down with Bryan's new promotion and he's complaining about it to Stella. 5) Nick is here. They are celebrating Dembabies birthday together. It's a cute scene. M says they have a cool and great relationship and they always have each others backs. M and Nick's mom also seem to have a good relationship. They are laughing with each other over Nick's turban. Roc said Nick looks like Aladdin, haha. 6) Stella comes in talking about how James' people have sent 3 dates none of which works for M's schedule and makes a remark about how those people sit around and play with their balls all day while M is actually busy because she's a superstar. Now it's true M is a superstar but she just mentioned 2 scenes back that she has some time off now that her tour is over, so why not make an effort? Stella is being a diva and talking about how M doesn't have time, jeez, like this wedding was apparently supposed to happen before the tour started, you already postponed it so now that the tour is over they can't spare one date? M asks Stella what will she do, like M, it's your life girl. 7) Mishka's Bat Mitzvah scene. Honestly it looks like she doesn't even though the people at the party, since she is just standing around with M and her other cousin. Stella talks about how Mishka and M have become best friend. Totally normal. 8) Tanaka introduces M to his mom. Ok now we're at the gazebo scene with M and Tanaka, get this, it's even cheesier than the preview. He's actually dancing with her in the gazebo alone and fixing her hair and holding her hands, kissing her hand and all. They talk about whether M will marry Packer or not, blah blah. 9) Anthony just gets to know about the co-creative director situation. Tony is not happy, but he accepts it. 10) Studio/preview moment. 11) Mariah tells Stella she can't go through with the wedding. They discuss about how people thought it was a perfect relationship but apparently James put her through hell, Stella says something like "the minute he pushed back the first wedding date". I'm a little confused, at the beginning of the show didn't they show that Stella asks M if she wants to postpone the wedding and M agrees and she calls James and it looks like James was upset about it. Anyways they talk about how horrible the relationship was. 12) Hawaii. There's a very short scene of M singing 2 lines from VOL while she's playing the piano and I wish there was more of it. 13) Back to the Hawaii beach scene, we again have a moment of Tanaka and Mariah dancing, her tipping back and him pulling her towards him. How many times do we need to see this? Haha, it's so corny and weird. Just 5 seconds ago she's talking about taking some time and loving herself and she's already jumped into a "new relationship". So they are really going forward with this. There is a huge montage of scenes from the beginning of Tanaka and MC moments. He's talking over it about how he'll now go after her with all he's got because she's the girl of his dreams and he's definitely sure that they'll be together now. Ok kissing scene. Haha they show the same kissing scene 3 times for impact. That's a wrap folks. (Monday 30 January 2017; 6:14)

I Don't (71,772) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Here is a longer version of the preview than the one on Mariah's twitter. It sounds much better than the previous song we heard, so I'm waiting on the full track, which will be released this Friday. I haven't watched the episode yet, but from this clip, is Mariah trying to say she left James? Wasn't it pretty much confirmed that he left her and she was surprised? (Monday 30 January 2017; 4:52)

Mariah's World: Finale aka Dear Lord no S2 (71,771) by Lila from United States 1) I just want to pat all the fans, who had hope that those pictures of Mariah and Tonka Toy on the beach were for a video, on the back. Sorry to have to tell you that she really and truly played herself and it was for the last scene of episode 8 where she makes it out that she and Tonka Toy are headed into a relationship. 2) Funny how even now she's still wearing that ring and he's not allowed to stand next to her entering and exiting venues let alone hold her hand. 3) Mariah conveniently skips over the fact that James called the relationship off and makes it out as though she broke it off or it was a mutual split. 4) As I suspected, the best part, of the entire series, was the moment with Mariah, Nick, Beth, and the twins were together celebrating the twins birthday. It was the only thing that you could tell off the bat was genuine. Mariah and Beth were making fun of Nick's turban together. Mariah said that they have a special relationship and they have one another's backs. It was just so cute. 5) Of course, we just had to get scenes of Mishka's Bar Mitzvah. They should've just inserted more family footage of the birthday celebration. 6) Tonka Toy gets promoted to co-creative director but no one informs Anthony of this so he's understandably upset. It's another instance where, we as fans, get to again understand what he meant in his Access Hollywood interview when he said to just watch Mariah's World and we'll see why things happen the way that they do. There was other stuff but honestly it was all just filler nonsense and or cheesy. Nothing to really care about. Overall, the entire episode was much to do about nothing and like the rest forgettable.
