Re: Nonsense (71,280) (71,281) by Licia from USA I agree the whole JP thing, relationship, almost marriage or whatever was used to hurt Nick, but I don't think it really hurt him in the way she wanted. Clearly he doesn't care about her being in a relationship because he's moved on, but I do think it bothers him that there are different men in his children's lives. Say what you want about his alleged cheating and his many girlfriends, but he's never been pictured with the kids and any other woman besides his mother or grandmother. If there is a female around his kids, he's making sure to keep it out if the press. (Sunday 15 January 2017; 4:01)

Re: Nonsense (71,279) (71,280) by RibbonB from USA All of it seems designed to hurt Nick. JP was either in on it from the beginning for the press, or he got the picture finally and gave up. Rather sad and desperate attempts to hurt, especially the lengths she has gone to. IDK, but the "Camouflage" reference in the last MW episode was very telling IMO. This has been the longest drawn out cry for help and attention. IDK what she feels, but I wish she would protect the kids in all of this. I hope she gets the help, she seems to have gotten the attention, but by the ratings not even as much of that as she would have liked. And by help, I mean the counseling or emotional help that she might need, not enablers. I am still hoping there is some redemption by the end of this "docuality" show. (Sunday 15 January 2017; 2:59)

Re: Nonsense (71,274) (71,279) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I also don't understand what exactly they think is coming out of this "affair" story line. Mind you at the beginning they started with how Tanaka is the one crushing then slowly it has turned to "both parties are interested" scenario with even Mariah hinting at it on the show. I don't get how she thinks a possible cheating story line can help her image. If she is trying to play the "James was never there" card, it won't work, because you could have called off the engagement but you didn't instead James called it off. So there is no way she is coming out of this looking good. I don't get how she even approved of this. Nothing really adds up anymore. It's like they do stuff on a whim and then just get on with the flow whether it makes sense or not. MW, to me, is a huge disappointment. It had the potential to really turn things around for Mariah, instead we get this messy, scripted, drama with scenes that look like they have been copy pasted as a montage.

Patti and Luther (71,278) by RibbonB from USA Here is a cool throwback video, just because it is so good. Luther and Patti singing the classic Brenda Russell song that Luther covered, 'If Only For One Night'. The showmanship is off the hook here. I would be floored if Mariah and Lionel perform Endless Love like two legendary singers/prize fighters. Lol just kidding, but it will be nice to see them finesse their way through the song when they go on tour. (Sunday 15 January 2017; 1:58)

Re: Mariah in London (71,270) (71,277) by Edward from USA Mariah had a great opportunity to actually document what goes on in one of her tours, from the stage is being put together to at least a few minutes of the final product, let us see you perform a rare entire song. If it were really a docu-series, why so much posing? How do you take care of your voice before and after a show? Can't you let us see you warming up your vocals at least, it might be trivial to you, but way real and relatable to us. Let us see your transformation from Mumra-riah to Mariah when they start caking you face up and putting your wigs/weaves on. You want us to see the real you, then show us. Instead, the only voice we hear is the Dragon-Stella's. She is really the start of that show. (Sunday 15 January 2017; 1:28)

Re: Cat-fight and Mel B (71,265) (71,276) by Edward from USA Lee, I didn't mean to disrespect anybody from the UK or anything like that. It's well known that things are less censored in UK, and they can say things things on TV people would dream of in other places. Like when Janet had he nipple moment with Justin Sold-her-Lake, I saw people on TV showing full breasts on comedy shows from the UK, while everybody was ready to burn poor Janet alive for showing a freaking nipple around the world. To me, it wasn't a big deal. I love myself "Little Britain", if you know what I mean. I do believe in having an argument or a debate without taking in consideration genders, but when you're going personal, I do believe, as a man, ladies should be treated as such, especially when they haven't used profanity. Maybe that's odd for some, but that's the way I was raised. Mel B is from the UK, and I thought she expressed her opinion without thinking she had to say the things people wanted to hear, but what she really wanted to say. Maybe I have a wrong perception of the UK when it comes to saying things without caking it up much, but the few friends I have from the UK are always direct and I appreciate that. Peace.

Re: Bryan and Mariah (71,271) (71,275) by Marissa from USA Believe it, girl. The whole 40+ year old female singer "dating" their backup dancer who no one even knows for sure what their sexual orientation is has been done to death. Despite how hard Mariah and Stella try, it's just not interesting. It looks desperate, fake and destined to fail. The truth is that Mariah was winning with the publicity that she got from dating a billionaire and getting that massive engagement ring before the breakup and inconvenience fee debacle. This Tanaka thing is a major publicity downgrade. The "cougar" narrative is boring unless it's with another younger celebrity, not some random unknown. Initially I thought that it was real considering the fact that it was blatantly obvious that she was practically cheating on James with him way before Mariah's World even started airing, but now I just feel like she's going through the motions with him because she just can't be alone. I'm at the "who knows and who cares?" point with it now. I don't really care about her personal life anymore as long as she's not strung out on drugs or depressed. I only care about her career and want to see it protected from disgrace and destruction. The only man that I'm truly passionate about seeing get removed from Mariah's life is Stella.

Nonsense (71,274) by Sasha from Nomansland She's lucky that Packer doesn't give a damn that she's openly showing to the world she was flirting/cheeting on him while she was supposed to be engaged to him. Am I the only to think it's rude and humiliating? What's the point of doing that? Does she think it's going to make her loveable? There is not much that make sense in Mariah's world lately. (Sunday 15 January 2017; 1:08)

Re: Benson and Mariah (71,271) (71,273) by RibbonB from USA I think Anthony was telling the truth, that the show is fake. But who knows if the two diddle now just for laughs. Lol. Read the old Inquisitr article about Stella and how the old team revolted because the show was full of lies and staged scenarios. At some point the season will end and they have to have some kind of finale though. (Sunday 15 January 2017; 1:01)

Re: Mariah in London (71,270) (71,272) by RibbonB from USA Girl, it's a "docuality" show, fake stuff documented as reality, lightly sprinkled with show footage. Did you read that Elle recap I posted yesterday. Mimi L. that guy has you beat for his snarky observations. But I can't wait to read your recap, the follow up with his after tomorrow's episode. (Sunday 15 January 2017; 0:59)

Bryan and Mariah (71,271) by Gigi from USA I know a lot of us think the relationship is fake, but does anyone think the relationship is real? I want to believe it's a real relationship, because I can't bring myself to believe that Mariah would stoop so low just for ratings. However, I don't see any evidence outside of Mariah's World or public events to support that it's real. Mariah is a very touchy-feely person and I haven't seen them hold hands, kiss or embrace each other since those Hawaii pictures. Bryan always seems to be walking in front of her or somewhere off in the distance just so we know he's present. There was no denying she was into Luis or Nick. Heck, she even held hands with James on occasion lol. It's all so strange to me. (Sunday 15 January 2017; 0:32)

Re: Mariah in London (71,262) (71,270) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ribbon B, I can't with your hawk eye. You miss absolutely no detail. The possibility of a re-shot finale is just frustrating. It's evident from the show that a lot of the scenes are re-shot. And yet it's a docu-series, not a reality show. (Saturday 14 January 2017; 23:48)

Article: Mariah Carey and Kourtney Kardashian fight over nanny (71,269) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I just can't. This is hilarious though. (Saturday 14 January 2017; 23:44)

Re: Mariah in London (71,261) (71,268) by RibbonB from USA Stella is not going to let M. out of her clutches any sooner than she has to and all the rest are their to ensure the stay is as long as possible, they are like Crustella's tentacles. (Saturday 14 January 2017; 23:34)

Re: Mariah in London (71,261) (71,267) by RibbonB from USA Don't you wish Stellar's kids had to go to school? I know I do. Lol. Roc and Roe are growing like weeds. I hope all is well for them and their mom. (Saturday 14 January 2017; 23:30)

Re: Mariah in London (71,259) (71,266) by Shezz from Pk You wish. Just checked Mishka's instagram. Hello London. (Saturday 14 January 2017; 22:34)

Re: Cat-fight and Mel B (71,258) (71,265) by Lee from UK I do not think people should be moderating what they want to write based on someone else's gender. That's absurd. This isn't the Victorian era. Also when you say this isn't the UK, are you referring to the bloody Internet? The Internet isn't the USA either, just so you know. (Saturday 14 January 2017; 22:31)

Re: Mel B (71,252) (71,264) by B from USA Don't feed him, let him starve. (Saturday 14 January 2017; 22:20)

Re: The comeback(s) and the preoccupation with Mimi (71,256) (71,263) by B from USA Mariah was sounding amazing during the Charmbracelet tour. Her demure vocals on the album were the result of label meddling which resulted in critics claiming her voice was shot as a result. She's proved she's still The Voice. Sure it's not the same as it was during her prime but when she lays off the splashes, works with a vocal coach, and doesn't speak for a day or two before performances she's still able to slay. (Saturday 14 January 2017; 22:17)

Re: Mariah in London (71,259) (71,262) by RibbonB from USA Oh Stella is there. If you look at the pics on Daily Mail, the other hired help Liane is also there along with the entourage and body guards. From the looks of Roc and Roes outfits perhaps they are redoing some of the prior footage as they shoot an alternate ending. The kids previously wore those outfits on the MW filming. (Saturday 14 January 2017; 22:15)

Re: Mariah in London (71,259) (71,261) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Nope, they are also in London. Mishka posted 3 photos of her getting on the private jet to London. When Stella and the crew is gone, Tanaka will also be gone. (Saturday 14 January 2017; 22:11)

Re: Mariah in London (71,259) (71,260) by B from USA I hope so. Despite the NYE debacle Mariah is still global megastar and she needs a manager capable of managing an artist of her caliber. I hope Stella is demoted to overseeing their production company Magic Carpet. I hope Mariah decides to only direct and compose a new song for the three movies because she needs a director like Lee to direct her or her vanity gets the best of her (being shot with different lighting than her costars in ACM). (Saturday 14 January 2017; 22:10)

Mariah in London (71,259) by Joe from United Kingdom So I saw Mariah's in London and went to dinner with Tanaka and the kids. Intriguing that there's no pics of Stella and her daughters hanging around in the background. Is there hope the ties are being cut? (Saturday 14 January 2017; 21:42)

Cat-fight and Mel B (71,258) by Edward from USA Even though having a cat-fight requires the use of long pointy nails, I don't think it would be nice having a cyber one here on MCA. Andrew, leave Mimi L. alone, the messageboard has gotten a nice different flavor since she started posting a couple of years ago. Always remember she's a young lady, and you're a man, so have some manners. I don't think Mel B was being shady though, I think she expressed what many people think. The thing is that this is not the UK, and she didn't put any make up on her comment, so many would think she was being a hater, but that's her opinion and people would react to it with other opinions positive and negative. The reality is that even though we, fans, know Mariah can still sing, the general public thinks she's just smokes and mirrors. Why? Because she's always been terrible at lipping, and she has had far too many "performance-gone wrong" moments in her career in which it has been evident she was lipping, most of them have been happening after 1996. Many other artist have gotten away with it, but, unlike Mariah, they did know how to mime for their lives. Whether they were her fault of not, these Mariah moments are put out there for everyone to see. I think it's time for Mariah's team to pay attention to details from any possible angle. Good managing would have a plan in case to mitigate any possible mishaps. An unplugged EP with a few of her less known songs would be great idea. "Help Me Make It", "Andy's Theme" and "Almost Home" let me know that when she put herself into it, she can give us decent and great vocal delivery. Fans know she doesn't have anything to prove after such an extensive and enviable catalogue, but the people at large who would potentially buy her music think she does. At this point her remaining fans are not enough, she needs the casual fans, and people who would buy the music because it's great, and not equate her music to her image and diva reputation. (Saturday 14 January 2017; 19:09)

Andrew (71,257) by Nikki from usa Two things that are wrong. 1. Mariah sang We Belong Together live at the Blueprint Special 2005. The whole special was live so slow your roll. She also sang it live on the MTV Music Awards. As much as most think it must be lipped because its so good, the audience, Mariah, and her crew tell a different story. Since no one can prove otherwise, claiming she lipped it is simply an opinion and not a fact. 2. Mariah was supposed to sing a remix as opposed to the original version of "Boy". They had some equipment failure on their end so she had to lip the regular version on the spot instead of what she actually rehearsed. The Boy version they had was the extended version with a high note at the end which was not on the original edit. She had talked about this in interview at the time.
