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)

Re: MW episode 6 : Mimi L review (71,338) (71,349) by RibbonB from USA And wouldn't his other dancer buddies have a spare set of clothes to lend him? What a terrible joke M. is playing on herself and everyone else. SMH, what an expensive prank or maybe just poor taste, timing and tone. Two more episodes. Now, I really can't wait to get the Elle review for this weeks episode. The reviewers snark meter must be going off the charts as he writes it. (Monday 16 January 2017; 17:39)

Bryan holding Monroe (71,348) by Lila from United States Yet another brick to add to the weight of my lack of confidence in her mothering skills. Why is this idiot carrying her daughter again? Monroe is hardly ever carried anymore anyway, or Moroccan. They're five and can walk. This is so inappropriate. The fact that this man goes everywhere with them is inappropriate. The fact that this man looks to live with them is so inappropriate. She is so hellbent on recreating her messed up childhood. I have such a soft spot for children, seeing this just makes me want to cry. I truly pray that Moroccan and Monroe don't grow up thinking that it's okay for men to come and go in a woman's and a child's life but what else can they possibly take from it. Mariah's parents divorced when she was three, she seems to vividly remember what happened and has talked about how much that affected her yet she shows not one iota of acknowledgment that her own children could be going through the same thing and she shows them not an ounce of respect. In a little less than 2 years, they've seen their father leave their home, her shack them up on a boat for weeks with a man they didn't know (before the whole "his n hers" yachts), and now she's shacking up some loser back up dancer with them everywhere they go. I pray for these kids and all the rest going through the same circumstances. It's so sad. (Monday 16 January 2017; 17:15)

Re: MW episode 6 : Mimi L review (71,340) (71,347) by Special K from USA Well it's so obvious that Mariah is a straight up tease and a big flirt. Nothing wrong with that as long as your ass in not engaged or in a serious relationship. Mariah ought to be ashamed acting like that with Bryan knowing she was engaged to James. James was spot on about Tanaka and I'm glad that he broke up with Mariah because obviously she wasn't ready to get married to nobody. I can't believe she bought clothes for that lil boy. He could have bought his own damn clothes. Like Mariah really girl? Man, I was holding out hope for this show but I'm too through. Anthony is the only one that was telling Mariah the truth trying to help her out. Now he's gone. I'll be glad when this damn show is over but at the same time I can't help but watch, lol. Side bar: Anthony looks like he was feeling Mariah too. I wonder if they have ever hooked up? (Monday 16 January 2017; 16:17)

MW: This is not an exaggeration (71,346) by Lila from United States I can attest to the fact that Mimi L. is not exaggerating. This episode was so WTF I don't know what to say. Mischka handling Mariah's lingerie and complimenting her on her ass when Mariah brought that picture up was disgusting and inappropriate. A few us have remarked on Mariah's lack of boundaries before but this one was the most mind blowing. The way the conversation was going, you'd have thought that Mariah was talking to her equal but then I guess she was because she also treats Mischka as her equal, the same way Stella does. Then, seeing that the picture went viral, she was immediately okay with the picture being posted. I swear my jaw was on the floor. What is wrong with Mariah? Still, now we know that one of our theories was right, she's now okay with attention at any cost. Seeing what she did with Mischka, though, it was worrying for me when she said that Roc and Roe are her best friends. I really do hate to say it, I really do, but my confidence in her as a mother has dropped like a brick and the Mischka thing has just added more weight. I pray that Nick lives a long life because they are going to need him around. I don't doubt that Mariah loves the twins but it's like that old song goes: what's love got to do it? There's more to raising children then loving them. Yes you love them but your job is to also teach them to be strong, stand on their own two feet, guide them in the right direction. It is not to be their best friend. How can Mariah do any of that for the twins when she doesn't have it down pact her on self? The Bryan stuff was just stupid and yes this woman bought this man clothes. I wish I would buy a man who hasn't invested 6 months into a relationship with me a damn tootsie roll. Real or fake, it's crazy how he doesn't get how much of a loser he makes himself look on this show. I do think James came across as nice but I didn't get couple vibes from him and Mariah. We've seen how Mariah looks and acts and how she talks when she's head over heels and that wasn't it. What I did get was what I've noticed about Mariah for a while now and that's that she's a lot of talk. All I could think was man, I can see that she's playing the hell out of you with this conversation alone lol. It is very obvious to see that Mariah feels nada for these men. She likes the attention and that's it. I also can't believe that it took 6 episodes to get a full performance and though it was sad that Prince died, I didn't want Hero.

Vodka (71,345) by Will from England Watching MW, and was wondering whatever happened with that vodka line? (Monday 16 January 2017; 15:43)

Re: Article: Russian billionaire spends £2.5million hiring Mariah Carey (71,335) (71,344) by Special K from USA From the videos I've seen I thought Mariah sounded alright. There were some moments where she actually sounded good but overall her voice was too inconsistent, she didn't hold any long notes, and appeared not to even attempt any high notes which is a good thing. I thought the crowd was having a blast. Mariah looked comfortable on stage and I loved how she was interacting with the crowd. The bride was cute and it was cool too see Mariah pull her on stage and watch the bride get her dance on. I'm just happy to see Mariah sing live. Maybe I'm a bit optomistic because I was blessed to see Mimi twice last year and she blew the crowd away with that voice. (Monday 16 January 2017; 15:25)

Re: Article: Russian billionaire spends £2.5million hiring Mariah Carey (71,314) (71,343) by Dennis from Miami, FL I'm sure, the wedding gig was booked before the new year. Other than that I agree and I am so sad. (Monday 16 January 2017; 14:26)

Re: Article: Russian billionaire spends £2.5million hiring Mariah Carey (71,335) (71,342) by Dennis from Miami, FL Marissa, all that makes me sad. There is a silver lining. Nobody from the guests cared about any of the performers. Russian singers performed that night as bad as Mariah did. It all was vanity. I'm surprised that she was the one closing the evening. (Monday 16 January 2017; 13:14)

Re: The missing chanteuse (food for thought) (71,334) (71,341) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I don't think it was her last album, why would she sign a new deal with Epic if she didn't want to release new albums? At least she wanted it when she signed it, don't know where her mind is at now. Because she is taking up so many gigs, it's hard to fit in studio time in the middle. But I don't think when she recorded MIAM, she thought it'd be her last album. In fact after that she has said she is working on her new album and said that she'll take her time with it to perfect it. (Monday 16 January 2017; 12:23)

Re: MW episode 6 : Mimi L review (71,331) (71,340) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter If I was James, I'd be sitting and cringing throughout the show. It really doesn't portray Mariah in the best light either, no matter how aloof you play (as in she doesn't understand what's going on with Tanaka and other stuff), no one is stupid enough to buy it. The show is a joke. The only good thing about this episode was we got a good footage of her singing "Hero". I like "Hero" but I'll be honest, I hardly ever reach out and play it on the regular, but in a live setting it does give you goose bumps and it's a strong song. So yes that's the only good thing. The scenes about Mishka were just ugh. Stella trying to bring her to the limelight, never going to happen dahlin'. (Monday 16 January 2017; 12:17)

Re: The missing chanteuse (food for thought) (71,334) (71,339) by MusicfanJ from Germany I also had the thought about the album. I hope I'm wrong too. Yes the industry "killed" something in Mariah. Even the title has something like, now you know my story, I've given you everything, there won't be more to tell. Just a thought. (Monday 16 January 2017; 12:17)

Re: MW episode 6 : Mimi L review (71,333) (71,338) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha I wish I did exaggerate but nope. Apparently Mr. Tanaka lost his luggage and so he had just 1 set of clothes. (Ok so side note, I've never been on a private jet but shouldn't your luggage also be on it or does it come separately? I don't get how it got lost.) More cringe worthy than buying him dresses was her feeling the need to sit on his lap while he holds her waist to "fix his hair" which needed no fixing. About Anthony, you'll see he's pretty straight forward with Mariah, he'll tell her stuff as it is, whether she likes it or not and that's professionalism. Because ultimately those things helped Mariah's performances. Stella on the other hand is all about "you're great, you're beautiful, they're haters, they're jealous". (Monday 16 January 2017; 12:14)

Re: Numb (71,332) (71,337) by MusicfanJ from Germany That's what I fear. Mariah must feel very lonely inside. She lost her "true" love. And nobody seems to help her in this phase. Mariah is hiding a lot of pain. She's gone trough a lot in her life, at some point you can't take any more sh.. and you start to give up. (like you said to care of yourself). I just want her to be happy, I would love to hear new music but most of all I care for her as a human being. So many great artists ended lonely and unhappy. MC deserves a happy end. She has a good heart. If only she would left the circus around her. That could help a lot. The social-media break was a good decision. I still have some hope that one day she will come back like a phoenix. (Monday 16 January 2017; 12:09)

Re: The missing chanteuse (food for thought) (71,334) (71,336) by Luke from United Kingdom Why would that be her last album when she's been recording? I think the reason she hasn't released anything is because it no doubt annoyed her that that album was just swept under the rug pretty much and everything went tits up. I'd imagine she doesn't want to release good music until she knows the time is right so it doesn't go to waste. (Monday 16 January 2017; 11:57)

Re: Article: Russian billionaire spends £2.5million hiring Mariah Carey (71,326) (71,335) by Marissa from USA Why be anything but nice? Because people have ears and it sounded terrible. There is a huge difference between being mean and being real. If you believed that it sounded good then I'm sure you would have said that rather than telling us to be nice. We all know what the deal is, it's just a matter of who is willing to speak out. The fact that this was at a wedding is what makes this situation so much worse and indefensible. This was this couple's one special night that millions of dollars were spent on. Hopefully this will be their first and last wedding. There are just some situations where it is totally inappropriate and inconsiderate to screw up on that level. I just hate that when people defend Mariah they never acknowledge or empathize with the people who are impacted by her mistakes. Millions of dollars were spent on a singer for a wedding who sounded like she had a frog in her throat. That is embarrassing and an artist should be ashamed to go out there unprepared like that in a moment that is so important in someone else's life. Everything isn't just about Mariah and her journey like so many fans think it is. People seem to think that as long as Mariah can walk away unbothered and rich that it doesn't matter when she does inconsiderate things. We should all accept it because she's Mariah and she's breathing, something us peasants should be grateful for. The real world is not Mariah's World. It's also about the people who have been personally affected by cancelled shows, ridiculously late appearances, chronic lip syncing and press-the-mute-button-worthy vocals. They matter too. (Monday 16 January 2017; 11:30)

The missing chanteuse (food for thought) (71,334) by Terna from Nigeria What if "Me. I Am Mariah...The Elusive Chanteuse" was Mariah's last album? Think about it, something about that album feels like she's saying goodbye or throwing in the towel like f**k it. I'm done with this industry and the disgusting haters and it's been like what? Four years since its release. Also the expression on her face on the deluxe edition totally rubs me the wrong way. It's no secret how the industry killed Mariah's spirit with all the envy, and conscious efforts to downplay her achievements. And seeing how she has embraced touring and live performances. Oh man I do hope I'm wrong. (Monday 16 January 2017; 11:08)

Re: MW episode 6 : Mimi L review (71,325) (71,333) by Licia from USA I'm just glad to know that Anthony had common sense and tried to steer her away from the f*ckery being posted on Instagram. He actually cared about how she looks and how JP might feel seeing this. By reading this summary I'm convinced that Mariah doesn't want a man, she wants a lap dog who won't say anything about her behavior. If this relationship with Banaka Tanaka is real he's perfect for her. Did she really buy him clothes? Please tell me you exaggerated most of this summary. Lol. (Monday 16 January 2017; 11:07)

Numb (71,332) by Sasha from Nomansland I wish we were all being just a bit too overdramatic about what's happening in her life but our fears are slowly being realized. She's on a path of self destruction since she split with Cannon and it's happening right in our face. She seems so numb these days as if nothing can touch her anymore. She's obviously in a deep distress because how a woman who once was so perfectionist and careful about every details of her career can allow such disastrous performances and personal wretchedness for all to see? It's a big crying out for help but no one is listening and I think it's tragic. She's heading down the wrong path and I really can't foresee a good ending. (Monday 16 January 2017; 11:07)

Re: MW episode 6 : Mimi L review (71,325) (71,331) by RibbonB from USA Lol this show is asinine. Thanks for the recap. Maybe all of her songs are interchangeable to whichever person she want to showcase. What must James be thinking or his kids if they watch this nonsense. Poor Roc and Roe though. (Monday 16 January 2017; 10:54)

Re: Rare gem: Mariah - Underneath the Stars (Drifti (71,312) (71,330) by Licia from USA I miss these type of remixes. Resung vocals and new beats. No cut and paste vocals. Artists (not only Mariah) actually went into the studio and created brand new songs that sounded sometimes better than the original. I just need people to appreciate Underneath the Stars period. That song is magical. Original and remix combined. I agree B that TGIFY remix helped a lot. I like the original, but I love what they did with the remix and alot of people besides the lambily loved and appreciated it as well. (Monday 16 January 2017; 10:28)

Re: Mimi L (71,321) (71,329) by Licia from USA Thanks. I was scrolling through the comments and that picture caught me off guard. It's just stunning. (Monday 16 January 2017; 10:14)

Does Mariah actually see a vocal coach? (71,327) by darrian liu from taiwan Although her SSFT and Vegas vocals show improvement in consistency from let's say, 2014, the best days of 2014 are pretty much equal to the best dates of SSFT and Vegas. Pretty good support in her belts up to Eb5, basically almost nothing good above E5, good lows down to C3, solid head voice, and an overly chesty, heavy mix where she often closes off her throat above C#5/D5. Technically, she's been stagnant in that position since 2009. That's definitely not a sign of someone seeing a vocal coach or someone with a healthy set of vocal cords. In fact, I don't think Mariah shows signs of both factors. For the love of God, please Mariah, see a vocal coach. Preferably vocal trainer with classical method, or see the one Whitney hired in her last days, Gary Catona. He managed to salvage what's left of that instrument of Whitney in her last days, so why couldn't he do the same to Mariah? So it turned out that he works with clients who have damaged their voices in one way or another. In short, he's the perfect vocal coach for Mariah. (Monday 16 January 2017; 10:07)
