26 million viewers Grammy's missed opportunity (72,650) by T from USA This years Grammy's was the highest rated show since 2014 Grammy's. A lot more people watched the Grammy's live than Dick Clark's New Years special. It could've been redemption for Mariah. If her career never gets back on track or she doesn't ever get the respect she lost from New Years, I'll trace it right back to the missed opportunity that was the Grammy's.

Glitter or current era - worst of all time (72,649) by Sheila from United States I'm not sure which era is worst. The two laziest era's and it keeps getting worst. 2017 started out with a poor performance, a dragging by the media and public, [...] fans hating on her, she went bowling instead of doing the [...] tribute, the [...] article. Can this era get any worst. Lets hope the Kimmel performance is live and well rehearsed. (Tuesday 14 February 2017; 12:41)

Grammys (72,648) by Terna from Nigeria I didn't even bother with the show nor performances, Adele as usual swept through the roof with wins as expected (blah). She's still no Mariah Carey, never has, never will. To me the Grammies lost all forms of respect, and credibility the moment they robbed Mariah of her 6 Grammies. Where's Alanis today? Exactly my point, meanwhile the rejected one (Mariah) became the best of the best, a living legend (and the voice of a generation) with a body of work she can firmly boast of as the best that industry will ever see. I'll take that over any Grammy trophies anyday. (Tuesday 14 February 2017; 12:21)

Re: Adele, just wow (72,635) (72,647) by darrian liu from taiwan I agree. Lemonade is amazing when listening on its own but paired with its visuals, all of its cultural context and bold messages came to life. I wish Mariah could do something more like Lemonade. More bold experimentations and less formulaic songs. (Tuesday 14 February 2017; 12:14)

Re: Along the lines of #89 (72,641) (72,646) by Malcolm from Asia I think it's because the song was released in the same week as the Superbowl. There are a lot of Lady Gaga songs that re-entered the Hot 100 so I guess if there was no Superbowl, it charted at 60-70. And after Superbowl, there's the Grammys, so I think it's good that she performs after these huge events. (Tuesday 14 February 2017; 12:08)

Adele's GM tribute song choice - Fastlove (72,645) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Is anybody else as happy as I am with her song choice? It was genius mostly for 2 reasons: First, though its theme (an ode casual sex) may be deemed inappropriate for a tribute, apparently Adele actually chose this song because it was her first memory of hearing George Michael. She put her own orchestral Bond-soundtrack spin to it, which was nice. You could tell this track meant a lot to her. Second, they avoided the obvious/predictable. They could have easily come up with a medley of his hits where most songs likely would have come from the Faith era, but instead they went for one of George's most criminally underrated tracks, which also happens to be his last charting hit in the US. Here's an article explaining other reasons why it was the perfect choice. Fastlove is one of my most favorite GM songs. The track is what expensive sex sounds like in sonic form, which can be quite ironic for a song about hooking-up. And that video was ahead of its time. Bravo, Adele. Once again, RIP to "The Singing Greek". (Tuesday 14 February 2017; 12:05)

Re: Kimmel (72,627) (72,644) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The link doesn't work in my country. But I believe you if you think it's funny. I wish Mariah would do SNL and do some sketches and really show her comedic side. People would like that. (Tuesday 14 February 2017; 11:24)

Kimmel (72,643) by Lee from UK "I Don't" is not a song that should be performed live. I sure hope Mariah does something completely unexpected with it. Make it acoustic or completely change it in some way. I can't believe I'm at that point with Mariah where I am cringing at a performance before it has even happened. This should not be the case. And for the love of the gods, please please please leave the leotards and bodysuits at home. (Tuesday 14 February 2017; 11:17)

Re: Billboard chart (72,629) (72,642) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Apparently the new house Mariah is renting is $100K a month. Oh man. She should just go back to NYC where she has just 1 guest bedroom so that homeless Stella and her family can't use her home as a lodging home. (Tuesday 14 February 2017; 11:17)

Re: Along the lines of #89 (72,632) (72,641) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter This would have charted higher if they'd even bother to so promo, jeez. I just see them inviting radio people and DJs and all but why don't they do these before the release instead of 1 week after? (Tuesday 14 February 2017; 11:14)

Re: Rihanna's diamond encrusted flask (72,633) (72,640) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Stella was the one who went on several interviews to make the claims of sabotage but of course Stella can't do these interviews if Mariah didn't allow her. Mariah made a vague statement through her insta only and said she'll talk about it later but it has been over a month, almost 2 and I think she should just let it go. Stella I'm sure is the one who cried sabotage and Mariah being a victim of it before found it easier to digest than acknowledging that she has a circus for a team. I also wouldn't put it past Stella to stage stuff possibly even without Mariah knowing to get "viral moments" which she loves. Because the NYE drama lead to Stella doing full length interviews for the first time. Not one, but multiple. (Tuesday 14 February 2017; 11:12)

Re: Kimmel (72,627) (72,639) by Licia from USA Since Kimmel will be In a more controlled environment, hopefully the performance will go on with minimal problems. Hoping she will actually sing. I'd love to see an I Don't parody. (Tuesday 14 February 2017; 11:10)

Mariah no longer has the passion for music (72,638) by Giovanni from USA "Beautiful" has been her only good, strong single since "Don't forget about us". Everything after from "You're mine" to "Infiniy" to "I don't" is just one disappointment after another. Where is the Mariah Carey who wrote "Vision of love", "Make it happen", "Dreamlover", "Anytime you a friend"? Her music has lacked meaning and has no message. How many break up songs is she going to write? At this point with her music I have lost all hope for a comeback. She is just not putting out the best music. I will always love the work she created when she was younger up until "The Emancipation Of Mimi". (Tuesday 14 February 2017; 10:48)

"25" (72,637) by Giovanni from USA Definitely deserved album of the year. It was cohesive, scored a hit single and sold over 8 million copies. I can't say the same for "Lemonade". Adele getting mushy over Beyonce was so over the top. (Tuesday 14 February 2017; 10:38)

Re: Along the lines of #89 (72,632) (72,636) by Gigi from USA 1. Through the Rain 2. Say Somethin' 3. Infinity 4. Oh Santa 5. Migrate 6. I Don't 7. You're Mine Eternal 8. Up Out My Face (Tuesday 14 February 2017; 10:21)

Re: Adele, just wow (72,607) (72,635) by Jono from USA I would highly recommend viewing it in its visual, before listening to the album. It's a masterpiece, her magnum opus. So many layers. Really reminded me of Butterfly in terms of seeing an artist at their commercial peak go completely against the grain and release something so beautiful and personal. (Tuesday 14 February 2017; 5:32)

Re: Mariah on Kimmel (72,610) (72,634) by Stacey from USA Yeah, if you can't get along with Ellen, then it's you with the problem, lol. Kimmel takes everything in stride so MC's appearance should go ok. I mean, they got in the bath together last time for crying out loud. (Tuesday 14 February 2017; 4:02)

Re: Rihanna's diamond encrusted flask (72,626) (72,633) by B from USA Mimi, I agree. Unfortunately Stellar likes to make accusations. I wonder why she didn't agree to the joint statement and why DCP claimed their was no issues on their end? Did Mariah publicly say that or was it just Stellar? Maybe Stella had the set messed with to get her 15 minutes which she got. (Tuesday 14 February 2017; 3:52)

Along the lines of #89 (72,632) by Matty from Vancouver Canada Now that we know "I Don't" will be debuting at #89, here's the chart company it keeps. What is your order of favourites, 1 through 8, from this list? Oh Santa (#100); Up Out My Face (#100); Migrate (#92); I Don't (#89); You're Mine Eternal (#88); Infinity (#82); Through The Rain (#81); Say Somethin' (#79). (Tuesday 14 February 2017; 3:51)

Re: Grammy's (72,585) (72,631) by Manny from U.S. The irony of it is that Anthony choreographed the Beyonce's Grammy performance. Reminds me of when he told Mariah, people want to see ass and the boobs, to not say the other word. Last year I saw Beyonce in concert and she put on an amazing show. She is obviously more of a dancer than Mariah. The choreography and the montages she used were well planned out. It was like the movie The Matrix. Like Mimi L said, while Beyoncé walking and sitting there, the dancers, imagery, props brough it to another level. (Tuesday 14 February 2017; 3:25)

Re: Rihanna's diamond encrusted flask (72,626) (72,630) by Licia from USA I agree Mimi L. Mistakes happen and no they shouldn't be happening to a huge company like DCP, but I doubt they are purposely going out of their way to have technical difficulties and ruin artists. I highly doubt they tried to sabotage Mariah. That's bad for business. (Tuesday 14 February 2017; 1:53)

Billboard chart (72,629) by RibbonB from USA Good for Mariah for charting. I wonder if she is happy with that number. She seems to be promoting the song, hosting parties for DJ's at her new rental property hoping to get airplay I am sure. If that is the same house she made the video at, I am sure she will be able to use that rental as a tax write off as her new work compound. (Tuesday 14 February 2017; 1:51)

Re: Beyoncé (72,625) (72,628) by Licia from USA I actually don't think Lemonade or 25 should have won. Neither album did anything for me, but I do respect them both as artists and I appreciate Adele for showing Beyonce love. Not a huge fan of either, but I do like a few of their songs. (Tuesday 14 February 2017; 1:43)

Re: Kimmel (72,611) (72,627) by RibbonB from USA Mimi L. Here is the Kimmel "Blurred Lines" parody. This is actually pretty funny. There is also one on YouTube for Sia's "Chandelier", which is not so funny, but it's ok. Now I really hope he parodies "I Don't". It could really be epic. Lol. I can imagine him playing the YG part. (Tuesday 14 February 2017; 1:28)

Re: Rihanna's diamond encrusted flask (72,621) (72,626) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I didn't see the Grammys as a whole just the performances I wanted, I didn't see the Gaga performance but if there was a mistake and it was caused by DCP, it still kinda doesn't go with what Mariah's team said. Her team said that DCP intentionally screwed up the playback in order to publicly humiliate Mariah for ratings. They could have stuck to the "there were technical problems", when the word "sabotage" and "for the ratings" comes up it becomes violent. I don't know if I am making sense, but I hope you got what I meant. (Tuesday 14 February 2017; 1:05)
