Re: Is it the 90s? Voice message (70,995) (71,010) by TJ from Norway I'm sorry to say, but voice messages again? This is so 2001. It started good, ended bad. I hope for difference this time. (Sunday 8 January 2017; 21:06)

You all are peasants (71,009) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I can't with Mariah's World making fun of us regular people haha. (Sunday 8 January 2017; 21:03)

Re: Hiatus (71,003) (71,007) by Shezz from Pk Some people are always on another plane. (Sunday 8 January 2017; 20:54)

Thoughts on voice message (71,006) by Marissa from USA First of all, throughout the years I've seen several lambs on this board saying that they miss/wish Mariah would do a vintage voicemail again, so here it is. Before I thought these sabotage accusations were just Stella being paranoid and going over Mariah's head creating an irreparable mess, but given the fact that Mariah herself is saying this, I can no longer be mad. She's been in the business going on 27 years and she knows full-well the consequences of these accusations. Clearly she is well aware of the risk and isn't scared, so why should we be? This is no longer Stella popping off at the mouth without Mariah's consent. I'm glad she's taking a break and I truly hope it's for the better. Maybe if she stops trying to seek attention for all the wrong reasons she will recognize her wrongs and see how useless her team is. She needs to refresh her spirit and take care of her voice. Hopefully this isn't one of those "breaks" that lasts for only a week or so. She truly needs the time and space to think, reevaluate and recharge. Also, I think she's recognizing that Mariah's World is a flop because otherwise it wouldn't make sense to pull back from social media and the media if you have a project to promote. (Sunday 8 January 2017; 20:53)

Audio (71,005) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Just listened to the audio, it's good that she's taking a break, I hope she lays off the staged paparazzi shoots too. Just go to dinner without calling them to inform where you are. Lay low. You deserve a break. However I hope the break includes a break from her team. By the way why the sudden social media break? Like I'd understand if she was managing her own social media and was sick of seeing the backlash and all. But she doesn't do her own social media work and neither does she probably see the stuff written, so then what gives? Is Mishka busy? Haha. (Sunday 8 January 2017; 20:53)

Re: Her voice (71,001) (71,004) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha imagine if she used Mishka's voice. I would have a "on the bathroom floor" moment. (Sunday 8 January 2017; 20:48)

Re: Hiatus (70,991) (71,003) by Lannister from USA Did you hear a different message than I did? And I mean that literally. I didn't hear her say anything about her dad or rough childhood in her twitter message. Are you referring to something else. And good for her for taking time for herself. She owes us nothing. (Sunday 8 January 2017; 20:27)

Editing the West Coast feed (71,002) by RibbonB from USA Stella's demand that DCP edit the West oast feed is lame, because I live in LA and had already seen the footage when it aired on the East Coast via twitter and the links and trending topics were already in full swing. Editing the West Coast would have only confused things even more. She has herself to blame for not stopping Mariah's performance and demanding the equipment work. M. can only blame herself for not having a backup plan, besides backup dancers. I am so glad she is reflecting on this and hopefully her recent career choices. Best wishes to her and Roc and Roe. (Sunday 8 January 2017; 20:21)

Her voice (71,001) by RibbonB from USA Glad she used her own voice, because with all of her social media surrogates the message would have been suspect. (Sunday 8 January 2017; 19:58)

The significance of the voice mail (71,000) by Tiina from Finland I think this is a good sign. The fact that she wanted to speak to us directly like back in the day. Maybe Mariah is taking back control. Get some rest, Mariah, and use this time to reflect on your career. (Sunday 8 January 2017; 19:56)

Also (70,999) by Hilton from USA It's sad to say that some of you on this message board are nasty and unbelievable and I am appalled at seeing people cheer on this behavior. Yet it's the same people who want Mariah Carey to get her shit together. The love is hard on here and sometimes you can feel it but some of you really are immature with the name calling and tantrums. SMH. Wow. Unreal and pathetic. (Sunday 8 January 2017; 19:53)

Sad (70,998) by Hilton from USA It was nice to hear Mariah on a voice message once again. Brings back memories from the olden days. I must admit, regardless of what anyone says Mariah is a human being just like the rest of us. We all have seen how they've beaten her up over the years. Regardless of circumstances and anyone's opinion on whatever has happened to her, she has feelings and clearly she's hurt. I don't think Mariah has one bad bone in her body. Shit, we all live this life and make bad choices and go through the things. She's just like you and I. Everyone that wanted her to disappear, well this wish has been granted. I hope she comes back stronger than ever. Mariah, I love you and I will never forget the many times you saved my life. Love, Hilton. (Sunday 8 January 2017; 19:47)

Re: Is it the 90s? Voice message (70,995) (70,997) by Edward from USA Exactly what she needs to do. She's been in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons, fake boyfriends, fake reality TV show, staged pictures. She should just take a break away from everything. Pull the plug on that reality show that shouldn't be mentioned, and rest and focus on her family, music and everything else. She must be reading some of the advice from the non sycophants people who really want the best for her, who really know she's capable of way better things, who think of her highly enough to let her know when things are not right. I for once want to miss her, I want to anticipate new music together with her reappearance, maybe with a new look and outlook on things. We'll be here waiting for you Mariah, as we've always been. (Sunday 8 January 2017; 19:44)

Mariah's new audio (70,996) by Lila from United States Here we go. This shit is never going to end. Now Mariah has done an audio message where she says she was foiled and put into the hands of a production company with technical issues that capitalized off the circumstances. She's going to address the NYE performance in time and that's she's going to take a break from media and social media moments and be with her loved ones. That last part is a great idea but everything else, I need her to stop because when you take everything into account everything that has been said, it seems that, at the least, Mariah's team dropped the ball and, at the most, both teams dropped the ball. DCP had nothing to gain from trying to "sabotage" Mariah's performance, Mariah herself said that she did not sound check Emotions, and, according to Stella's version of events, DCP offered a joint statement. At this point, it just looks like desperation. Let it go. (Sunday 8 January 2017; 18:41)

Is it the 90s? Voice message (70,995) by Shezz from Pk Wow that was so out of nowhere. The voice message on Twitter. Regardless of the subject matter the fact that she did that again after sooo long was great. And wow so maybe Stella does convey some of our messgaes to her. She wants to take time off and be with her loved ones and family (unfortunately who she considers family now we cannot control). So obviously this really got to her, maybe it'll help her rebuild herself. Write some more inspirational anthems perhaps. She feels victimized in how they handled it. Best thing to have done was to take a page out of Adele's book. Discuss it calmly on a major talkshow and sing the hell out of those songs live. (Sunday 8 January 2017; 18:35)

Mariah left Twitter message (70,994) by Licia from USA So from this message she will really address the NYE mess when she's ready. She feels that DCP were trying to embarrass her and she's taking a social media break, but will still be fulfilling her contractual obligations and she looks forward to starting the tour in March. She also thanked all her industry friends and the real fans who have supported her. (Sunday 8 January 2017; 18:18)

Not fired (70,993) by Lila from United States Anthony has done an interview with Access Hollywood. He says 1) he wasn't fired. 2) He no longer works with Mariah because his contract was up December 31. 3) Everyone was on the stage but he only comments that he did a sound check, no specific comments on any one else. 4) He knew something was wrong before the performance started but that he couldn't say too much because he's being hammered by some things so his legal team is basically like zip it. 5) He was floored to read that he had been fired but and for the reason given by Mariah's team. 6) If you watch Mariah's World you'll find out a lot of information of why things happen the way that they do. His comments on the NYE performance were the most interesting. It certainly sounds like something is going on there. I'm glad Anthony did the interview. Regardless of personal opinions of his divaness, he's good at what he does and has worked with some big stars. He doesn't need his record tainted by such an accusation, when it's not true. (Sunday 8 January 2017; 18:17)

Mariah's recorded statement (70,992) by RibbonB from USA Well good for her. She is taking time off between now and her tour with Lionel to be with her family. I won't even worry about who she includes in that list. She said she will fulfill her obligations, but will be off of social media. I hope she makes adjustments and gets her head in the right space to move forward with whatever her plans are. I do hope she puts Stellar on mute during this time frame too. (Sunday 8 January 2017; 17:39)

Hiatus (70,991) by THE TRUTH from USA So Mariah left an audio message talking about the "sabotage", her rough childhood, and how much she misses her dad and loves her Lambs. She's taking a break from media and social media to rest up for "her tour". Really? First I'm calling bullshit on the tormented childhood, that's a fiction. Second, she's addicted to the attention so I don't believe she'll be disappearing anytime soon. Finally, disappearing from social media? Who's she kidding? We all know who's been doing all her social media outreach. Oh yeah is "her tour" the Lionel Ritchie tour? Is that still on or is there something new in the works? (Sunday 8 January 2017; 17:34)

Re: Let's stop (70,970) (70,990) by RibbonB from USA She is now doing a lot of stuff she said she would never do. Hopefully she picks up some of the potentially good things vs. just becoming a reality star. (Sunday 8 January 2017; 17:22)

Stella you're fired (70,989) by Danny from Uk Stella, if you read this, just letting you know that yeah you're fired. (Sunday 8 January 2017; 17:18)

Re: Tomas Mottola (70,968) (70,988) by Mirage from Unicornatopia Completely agree. To ignore Tommy's success, and therefore invalidate his recent comments is a joke, especially when compared to the accomplishments, or lack thereof, of Stella. She is a thirst bucket, incapable of managing a star of Mariah's calibre. Tommy made many a star, not just Mariah. He even had the vision to see the appeal of The Fugees, who were massive in the mid 90s. People need to give credit where it was due. He saw Mariah's star potential, and when he realised how good she was at writing and producing he gave her the opportunity to showcase that to the world too, by becoming less reliant on others to create albums. Think of the amount of songwriters and producers on Daydream, and compare that to her recent efforts. It's no surprise that those albums sound more like Mariah people fell in love with. (Sunday 8 January 2017; 16:10)

Re: Tomas Mottola (70,976) (70,987) by Edward from USA While Angelil managed her, guided her and supported her, he wasn't the one who brought Sony unstoppable machine behind her to support and develop her. Angelil was an instrumental part of the equation, but it wouldn't have happened were it not been for Tommy, the man was a beast. He helped build Celine from the ground up in her English singing career. I don't like Tommy as a person because his obsession with Mariah made him do crazy things that affected her deeply. By trying to coerce DJ's into not playing Mariah due to his huge influence back then and basically stealing the sample used on Loverboy before it was released, it was a hit below the belt, I had it with him. I do not like him, but I don't dismiss what he did for Mariah. Those who have read Damizza's book (approved by Mariah) would realize how she appreciated non sycophantic input. Neither Damizza nor Puffy was ever ass kissers with her either. I think the only other person who keeps it real with her is J.D., the rest, well, we see what has been going on for years now. (Sunday 8 January 2017; 15:57)

Re: Tomas Mottola (70,982) (70,985) by B from USA Rene guided Celine's career. Tommy rewarded Walter for choosing him instead of Mariah by making him Sony's in house producer. I always found it weird that Celine worked almost exclusively with David Foster until My Heart Will Go On. However, I hate to say this but I agree with everything he said. Mariah should have never done a reality show and she needs a manager capable of managing a star of Mariah's caliber who has years of experience managing musicians and understands the industry. Walter won the 1999 Grammy Award for Record of the Year for producing "My Heart Will Go On" by Celine Dion and the 2000 Grammy Award for Non-Classical Producer of the Year. (Sunday 8 January 2017; 15:52)

Re: Alpha-Tella? (70,978) (70,984) by B from USA I have also experienced second hand embarrassment from (while) watching Mariah's World. When they showed her and BT reenacting the ending of the Honey video I cringed. I pray she doesn't do a second season of Stella's World. It's a staged incoherent mess. However, Mariah looks sane compared to the others. I think James Packer is gay and Mariah used him in a poor attempt to make Nick jealous or to prove that she wasn't lying when she told him she'd leave him for a billionaire.
