Re: (71,335) (71,375) by Dennis from The Netherlands I'm just saying, maybe this isn't for you. She doesn't go singing at a wedding to please you. You probably weren't invited. If you see videos of her singing there, maybe it's just posted for people who wish her well. Or people who wish the married couple well. If this was my wedding and my grandfather spend this kind of money on my wedding and I had a good time - Mariah Carey is playing at my wedding, ofcourse I'm having a good time - and random anonymous people would comment on my wedding, my feelings would be hurt for sure. How are you all in real life? Would you do this to your friends? There is a difference between being real and kicking someone who is already down on a daily basis, in my opinion. I really loved seeing the videos and thought she looked good, sounded good and and it was great to hear the harmonies of the backing singers. Wish I could have been there. Maybe because of your posts I got a wrong impression of you all, but if I were a track runner for example and you were my family I'd cut you out of my life if I could. I couldn't stand a mean mom there yelling all the time that I suck. Especially if I achieved more in life than them. (Tuesday 17 January 2017; 9:36)

(71,374) by Andrew from UK Why is it that, on this board, men must conform to the stereotype of a "real man", i.e., Cannon and Tanaka are quite frequently put down for having less money than Mariah, for not being the dominant ones in the relationship, for not setting good examples of manly behaviour, for being "thirsty" and shallow? Equality, indeed. They're both clearly [censored]. But they're not [censored] because they're men. They're [censored] because they're [censored]. (Tuesday 17 January 2017; 9:16)

Elle recap (71,373) by RibbonB from USA Mimi L. here is that Elle recap. Very funny and actually quite similar to yours this week. (Tuesday 17 January 2017; 8:37)

Lila (71,372) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) You're new here and yes you are free to discuss any topic of your choosing as am I. But the ass part of your comment was unnecessary as my comment used no such language. You don't know me as I don't know you, please do not come at me in any disrespectful way. On another note no need to get upset it's only an opinion young lady whatever MC does with her life does not benefit neither one of us remember that. (Tuesday 17 January 2017; 5:05)

Re: MW: This is not an exaggeration (71,365) (71,371) by Mara from United States Quick question about the scene in Paris when it was the vodka launch party and Stella's BD and also around the day Prince passed away. Thy showed James there at the dinner and MC has that black dress on. Isn't that the same time these cell phone videos were leaked online of MC, Tanaka and Anthony all dancing up on each other looking very close? I remember seeing these leaked cell phone videos and MC even is caught saying you are not getting my body or something like that. If so, James was there. So what does James leave his fiancé in Paris when he comes all the way out to see her and leave she early or who knows since MC stays awake until 5am anyhow (apparently Mishka does too according to MW) but James leaves his fiancé, she stays back and continues to party with the dancers. This all is so unreal. I really wish she would resolve whatever hurt she is obviously going through from the divorce and get away from the entire circus. Problem is and she said it herself, she has no real family and considers this life, her family. I honestly don't know where this situation will end up right now. (Tuesday 17 January 2017; 4:52)

Re: Drama-naka (71,368) (71,370) by Licia from USA She does not want an equal partner, she wants a lap dog. Banaka Tanaka is perfect for the job. That's why he's there. Nick at least tried to become her equal. Banaka likes being her fake boy toy. (Tuesday 17 January 2017; 2:06)

Re: Parenting (71,361) (71,369) by Lila from United States We're free to discuss whatever we want here as long as we're not being insulting. The webmaster puts our posts through so obviously there's no problem with us speaking on the topic. If you have a problem with that, then that's your problem. Stop trying to tell grown ass people what they should do or discuss. It's obvious you know nothing about how instability can negatively affect a child, that ACS or any other version of childrens services is not an automatic solution, nor did you properly read the posts. Bouncing men and women in and out of a child's life can negatively affect their perception of a healthy relationship. No these people may not pose a physical danger to the child but psychologically it can be harmful and these are usually not things that can be prevented in courts of law unless the person poses a physical danger. Calling up ACS, or any other version of children's services, is not an automatic solution because you still have to actually be able to prove that endangerment is occurring and that's not always cut and dry. Lastly, predators don't put signs on their backs announcing that they're predators. When a person is not careful he or she can possibly invite the wolves in sheep's clothing into their life and subsequently their children's lives. Situations like these are not so simple as you seem to want them to be. (Tuesday 17 January 2017; 1:40)

Drama-naka (71,368) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter First of all, I still don't buy it's a real relationship and I'm waiting to see exactly when this drama stops. Like do they have a plan that they'll carry on this "stunt", that no one is buying, until so and so date and then move on? Anyways on the flip side, let's assume it's real, what exactly does Mariah think will happen? They got into a "relationship" while this guy was dating another girl and then he quickly dumped her and started "dating" MC (all throughout the series he says he is single), and then after MC's NYE disaster his ex-girlfriend posted something on social media about "karma". So does Mariah think he'll be loyal to her? Also Mariah knows how it didn't work out for her to date someone who is younger and less financially successful than her. Nick talked about how her entourage would put it in her mind that he's using her for money and all and he's cheating. This young is not only younger than Nick, he doesn't even have a steady job. In fact now it seems like he has given up everything and just is a permanent member of Mariah's entourage following her around. So what signal does that give? Would she really want Roc to grow up thinking Tanaka's lifestyle is the way to go? I don't get how she'd think if didn't work with Nick, who at least had a lot of business and worked hard to get his money, then how will it work with this basically paid employee. They're not equals in a relationship. (Tuesday 17 January 2017; 1:19)

Re: Article: Russian billionaire spends £2.5million hiring Mariah Carey (71,360) (71,367) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ya the wedding singing is very common even among A list celebrities, they get a lot of money from it. I don't think Mariah takes it up as a big step down. In fact this is better than the reality show and all the random stuff she did (Match.com, GOW, vodka) because here she is actually using her talent, that is singing and not doing random crap. Don't get me wrong I don't classify the perfumes and MAC collaborations as "random" in fact I love it and it goes with her brand of "glam and beauty" but "Match.com" and "GOW" (which was abandoned) and all the random crap Stella got her into was a mess.

Re: Fans or buy the music? (71,362) (71,366) by Lila from United States I think, for a while now, it's about having an army of zombie minions willing to buy her products and kiss her ass despite her questionable actions, lackluster performances, and now her horrible manager. Mariah doesn't want criticism or anyone questioning her and that extends to us. (Tuesday 17 January 2017; 0:07)

Re: MW: This is not an exaggeration (71,351) (71,365) by Lila from United States I agree he was smitten but I think he was smitten by celebrity public persona Mariah, not the real her and I think Mariah liked that James was complimentary and offered a lot of material wealth but wasn't into the real him. Personally, I didn't see anything adult about Mariah and James' relationship. It came across as one part attention seeking, one part business merger, and one part clueless guy chasing after a woman that the blind can see is not into him. (Tuesday 17 January 2017; 0:02)

Re: Article: Russian billionaire spends £2.5million hiring Mariah Carey (71,360) (71,364) by RibbonB from USA I agree and she has also performed at private events for years now, it is nothing new. (Monday 16 January 2017; 23:41)

Re: Parenting (71,361) (71,363) by RibbonB from USA If she puts it on MW, then she must want opinions on it, just like everyone comments on her drinking, vocals, dressing habits etc etc. She could just as easily have kept them off of the show and out of the limelight. Mariah also doesn't seem to care about her voice lately, but that doesn't stop anyone from critiquing it ad nauseum. (Monday 16 January 2017; 23:40)

Fans or buy the music? (71,362) by Danny from Uk It makes me wonder these days if Mariah wants real fans as she keeps saying aka Lambs or people that will buy her music and other endeavours eg MAC etc. What I really mean is it just about keeping the fame and making the money or progressing her legacy? Because once I felt like we were a part of her musical journey now I'm not so sure. She could be so much more in many ways and keep all of what she holds dear or what will remain is a shadow of her former glory not just voice but who is she as a person. Something is different this time, at least during Glitter she was young and wanted to carry on and she wrote songs that made me believe her. (Monday 16 January 2017; 23:26)

Parenting (71,361) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Excuse me ethics committee of MCA, who are you tell to someone how they should raise their children? If anyone who needs to say something it is Nick Cannon if he sees anything wrong with this. Last I checked I do not see ACS banging on MC or NC door so how they parent their children is their right. As long as they are not being put in any danger or being abused in any kind of way. If MC was such this horrible mother why hasn't Nick or anyone in his family fought MC for custody? Obviously he has no issues with how his children are being raised when they are with their mother. Until that happens how about the MCA family court ethics committee worry about your homes and priorities, and let MC worry about hers. (Monday 16 January 2017; 22:57)

Re: Article: Russian billionaire spends £2.5million hiring Mariah Carey (71,353) (71,360) by B from USA Beyonce has sang at weddings before. It's a lucrative gig. Sir Elton John also preformed at the ceremony. (Monday 16 January 2017; 22:47)

Article: Rare gem: Mariah Carey - When I Feel It (71,359) by regoat from Poland This song is amazing, such a style she should to record. (Monday 16 January 2017; 22:45)

Re: Bryan holding Monroe (71,348) (71,358) by RibbonB from USA I totally agree Lila. And before the "if M. likes it, I like it too" brigade chimes in, I will just add that I am not a muppet waiting for Mariah or Stella to tell me what to say or how to perceive something that they so willingly share with the public. Instead of being a confident wealthy mother of twins, Mariah acts like a desperate 16 year old single mom who thinks any attention paid to her is good attention and who thinks a man paying attention to her children is a good thing. These kids need boundaries and protection from the revolving door of characters who may come into their lives. It also doesn't help that Mariah drinks a lot and her paid escort/backup dancer enables her with splashes/shots and non stop partying. If M. is not in control, a hired escort is not the best nanny for young kids. Again, if Mariah fires nannies because they bond too closely with her kids, she should really be concerned about her dates getting too attached to her children too. She should also question their motives, but if she is numb or stoned more often than not, then she wouldn't even notice. This may be scripted or whatever, but Mariah is participating in a very bad scene in her own life right now and her children are real with real emotions and real vulnerabilities. (Monday 16 January 2017; 21:44)

Re: Vodka (71,345) (71,357) by Mike from FL, USA Guessing she drank all the stock. Jk, but lol the alcohol in MW can't be good for voice. It's literally every scene: MC with glass in hand. (Monday 16 January 2017; 18:39)

Re: MW episode 6 : Mimi L review (71,347) (71,356) by B from USA I didn't watch last night's episodes and I probably won't watch anymore episodes. I wanted a documentary of her world tour with performances, not a badly scripted reality show which unfortunately is what we got. I'm glad Mariah has decided to take a break from social media because it means we get a break from a thirteen year old posting thotty pictures of Mariah without her permission. Mariah take back control of your career, life, and social media accounts. Stella may have made you more money than your old team but it's cost your reputation. You went from an untouchable diva to a punching bag. Stella's management is the equivalent of Glitter 2. Surely, Mariah Carey, who worked so hard to rebound after that debacle can see that Stella's dictatorship has caused similar results. (Monday 16 January 2017; 18:25)

Re: The missing chanteuse (food for thought) (71,341) (71,354) by B from USA I thought it was revealed that she'd been recording new material since last May? Surely, she has enough material for a surprise release and it's obvious LA and Epic have heard the material if they want to release a single as soon as possible. If LA think she has a song that strong enough to remind the public that she's a talented singer songwriter why not release it? (Monday 16 January 2017; 18:18)

Re: Article: Russian billionaire spends £2.5million hiring Mariah Carey (71,344) (71,353) by Joe from United Kingdom I agree that Mariah sounded ok in the clips I've seen. The question I have is why a star like Mariah is now a wedding singer for all intents and purposes. I know she got millions but at the end of the day, singing at a wedding means you're a wedding singer. I would have thought she was beyond this. Maybe there is a financial need at this point rather than a professional need? (Monday 16 January 2017; 18:06)

Re: MW episode 6 : Mimi L review (71,347) (71,352) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Yes, these behavior would have been fine if she was single. But she was supposed to be engaged to the fan she was apparently in love with. Yet she's out their bumping and grinding with this back up dancer. I wonder what her reaction would have been if she saw James was messing around with his secretary or employees. It's a shame that she thinks showing these are doing her any favors. Also it looks like Mariah really had no intention of marrying James because Roc and Roe didn't know Mariah was getting ready to get married when she was trying on the dress. Like shouldn't the kids be eased into such a change? It looks like Mariah liked the "idea" of being with a billionaire who was smitten with her, but when things got too real she wasn't ready to face the reality yet she didn't leave him. If rumors are true that James had Tanaka banned from Caesar's palace, I'm happy that he did it. I can't even blame Tanaka really because for all we know, this is his job and he's getting paid for it. My question is what happened to Mariah's judgement? What happened to the woman who once said she doesn't need to sell sex to be successful while dissing someone who does it (supposedly Madonna, not sure), what happened to the woman who said she won't ever resort to fake relationships while dissing Kim K's wedding to Kris Humphries. What happened to the woman who would be caring for her voice and tell us about all the tips she picked up from other legends like Luther Vandross and all about humidifiers, honey tea, throat lozenges. Now it looks like she has once again forgotten about her God given gift and instead is doing everything she once said she won't. It's sad. The show might be over in 2 episodes, but the people influencing such behavior will still be around. (Monday 16 January 2017; 17:58)

Re: MW: This is not an exaggeration (71,346) (71,351) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I honestly don't know how James is in real life but in the show, whatever little we saw of him, he seemed sweet and smitten by Mariah, the way he looked at her. I was also surprised that he is actually good looking on video. I think the relationship with James was a little "too adult" for Mariah if you know what I mean? Mariah is by self admission, eternally 12 and so anything that becomes "too adult" seems to be too much. Also James crossed Stella, and no one that crosses Stella can stay in her life. Did you notice how she dealt with Mishka? She doesn't need to yell or whatever but she could have been stern about the fact that Mishka can't do whatever she wants. She could have put a stop on it, but instead she fell into the "Mariah your ass looked great, your legs looked long" trap and so that conversation was over. This is something I feel Stella does too. I've seen Anthony, although he praises her too is always very blunt with Mariah that's something that her employees need to do. (Monday 16 January 2017; 17:49)

Re: MW episode 6 : Mimi L review (71,338) (71,350) by RibbonB from USA Sadly, Mariah's off base ego wouldn't allow her to just let actors and her hired help act the fool behind the scenes, like the Molly makeshift mess. She really didn't have to participate in the behind the scenes foolery, but I'm sure her ego wouldn't allow for another female to have that kind of attention while she behaved like a responsible adult, so she took the sugar-mama/THOT route for the cameras. Two more shows to redemption though. Lol. (Monday 16 January 2017; 17:44)
