Re: Tommy Mottola is correct, reunite. (70,815) (70,824) by Dennis from Miami, FL 100% agree. At least listen to his advice and get rid of the Bulochnikovs. Don't extend the contract. In an article about Tommy (mid 2000s) some music executive said that Tommy still holds the handle for Mariah. I have no doubt that he could bring her back to the top. I've alway had a feeling that the song Circles was inspired by the encounter with Tommy and Thaila in 2004. All of them look awkward on the pictures. It was really nice to see him saying that about Mariah after he named Beyonce the greatest singer of our time in 2013 radio interview. (Thursday 5 January 2017; 12:02)

The brand (70,823) by Danny from Uk Mariah Carey, although hard to accept, is a brand. She's always been marketed that way from her beginnings with Tommy Mottola in sing sing mansion to the present day being toyed around with by a reality TV show producer and her sprogs. Not saying it's a bad thing it's given us a lot of moments this past year and many candid moments that the brand wouldn't have given us the times before. And on a side note I don't think her social media is managed well at all whether it's a 13 year old or two year old she needs that part of her brand sorted ASAP and who's her PR? Where's damage control? It's very sloppy. (Thursday 5 January 2017; 11:58)

Article: Tommy Mottola says ex-wife Mariah Carey needs help (70,822) by Sheila from United States Tommy, this was extremely classy and I totally agree. Sorry lambs but Tommy speaks 100% the truth. (Thursday 5 January 2017; 11:48)

Article: Tommy Mottola says ex-wife Mariah Carey needs help (70,821) by Martyn from England, UK I imagine Mariah won't be happy about this, but he speaks nothing but the truth. (Thursday 5 January 2017; 11:34)

Re: More Stella drama (70,816) (70,820) by Licia from USA Yes what Tommy said was very respect to Mariah. Stella being the great intellectual person she is responded as we all knew she would. Lol. Although Tommy gave Mariah some sound advice, because of their personal history I fear that his words will only push Mariah further into the hands of her new team. She may not be willing to listen to anything that's being said because it comes from him. On the one hand I understand why she wouldn't listen to him because of the personal history, but on the other hand she should push that aside and think of how well her business was managed during that time and take heed to what he's saying.

New Instagram photo (70,819) by Gigi from USA I'm trying to understand why the big bottle of alcohol behind her was needed in the picture? Especially with rumors swirling that she was either drunk or high during NYE and worse that she may be an alcoholic. Stella and Mishka photoshop everything else, why add fuel to the fire by keeping it? (Thursday 5 January 2017; 10:08)

Re: Finally, the culprit is found (70,796) (70,818) by Jimbob88 from UK Honestly I don't think the backing singers were there at all, let alone backstage. Judging from MaryAnn's FB posts she was a thousand miles away. I think their vocal was entirely prerecorded. P.S was Rachel Mcintosh fired? Stella is an utter disaster. I'm still mad that Mariah agreed to that tacky reality series. It's really cheapened her legacy. (Thursday 5 January 2017; 9:23)

New IG pic (70,817) by Lila from United States I'm sorry but I have to vent it: I see we're also starting 2017 off with awful, cringeworthy, side eye inducing pictures. Mariah may think she looks sexy but in reality that's a negative. She looks like someone's over the hill, trying too hard to be sexy, acts like she's 20 but a dumb 20, stay drunk out of her mind auntie. That may be harsh but it's exactly what Mariah in that picture reminds me of. She couldn't even bother to have the empty bottle of alcohol removed from the background. I'll say it again, she needs to leave her face alone. 2017 here we come, I guess. (Thursday 5 January 2017; 8:43)

More Stella drama (70,816) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Tommy Mottola gave a statement where he is very respectful to Mariah and her artistry and achievements but goes on to say she should be working with a more seasoned and respected team. He says what happened in NYE could have happened to anyone and has happened to many but it also could have been avoided if her team was more professional. He further talks about how he would have never steered her towards reality shows because that does nothing for her integrity and talent. He asked her to take some time and reconsider her team and all. Through and through the letter was respectful towards MC but has put her team on blast. So since Stella has been put on blast, guess what she does? This is Stella's statement "Really? Tommy is a relic. Did he give you that statement from a rotary phone?" This woman has zero control. Why does she keep responding to Page Six, and more importantly why even respond when Mariah isn't being attacked. She only gets heated up when she is put on blast. Here is a recent sit down with ET news where she talks about the sabotage. When asked "Why do you think they would sabotage her?", her response is "Are you kidding? Because it happened". Like Stella, they asked for a reason girl. Plus why is she even giving interviews? Where is Mariah? I understand if Mariah doesn't want to give interviews but then neither should Cru-Stella. (Thursday 5 January 2017; 8:26)

Tommy Mottola is correct, reunite. (70,815) by Mercury from United States Mottola's open letter regarding the state of the queen's career is pitch perfect. Mariah, hire Tommy as your manager. (Thursday 5 January 2017; 6:07)

Tommy defends Mariah and gives his 2 cents (70,814) by Marissa from USA So here's what MC's former oppressor had to say about the travesty: "MC is arguably the greatest pop voice to come along in the last three decades," Mottola wrote. "She has had more number one hits than any pop artist in history. She is a global icon and a treasure with incredible talent not only as a singer but as a great songwriter. What happened on NYE could've happened to anyone. Yes, her technical people should've helped pay more attention to all of it so that there was no chance of that happening." His opinion on her shitty team: "My only advice is that she should hire more seasoned and respected professionals to surround her and help her with her career. I would never have encouraged her or guided her to do something like a reality television show. I don't get it." Mottola wrote, adding, "That does absolutely nothing for her integrity, her credibility, or her massive talent. She should take a step back, think carefully and figure out what to do next. That is what she does best. Most certainly none of these issues or problems ever existed with her in her early days at Sony for the first 10 years when she skyrocketed to global superstardom. Where absolutely meticulous and methodical attention was paid to every single detail and nuance that went on into her career." I've said it once and I'll say it again. Tommy and Mariah were horrible for a relationship but perfect for business. His motives of releasing a comment are questionable and I do think this was his opportunity to demonstrate to Mariah that she finally needs him (or someone with a managing style like his), but overall I agree with everything he said. Here was Stella's response to his statement: "Really? Tommy is a relic. Did he give you that statement from a rotary phone?" Stella, if you're such a great manager, cite your accomplishments and experience (oops, you don't have any). Her high school clapbacks only prove his point. (Thursday 5 January 2017; 4:47)

James Corden (70,813) by Mara from United States On another note, James Corden came back live after the holiday break and it was his first show since George Michael passed away(still can't believe I typed that) and he clearly was a huge GM fan and was upset by his passing. He brought up how GM was the original Carpool K before he had an American show and how he sent out the tape of George doing it to all the celebrities and everyone passed. It wasn't until Mariah Carey got the tape and responded "If its good enough for George, it's good enough for me." I can't tell you how much I love her for that response and I can totally hear her saying that. She was such a fan. We all know after her, all these other celebs came out to do it and had even the advantage over her since they all were able to tweak theirs since her appearance. But this just makes me wish all the more that she would do some sort of tribute to George. If anyone should, it should be her. (Thursday 5 January 2017; 4:43)

Anthony / Bryan (70,812) by Mara from United States MimiL I noticed the interaction was mostly with Anthony too and less of Bryan. That's why I was so surprised with his parting ways, as they looked like they were interacting well. But who knows, maybe all the press the dancers got with everyone mentioning how the da cars did so well and how did they hear and not her, maybe that mad her upset and he did "too good" so to speak. Not sure what to make out of the Bryan thing but I did notice it too. (Thursday 5 January 2017; 4:38)

Re: Blind Gossip article (70,802) (70,811) by Dennis from Miami, FL I wish she did like Madge with her first child - just used a man as a donor. But our girl is not like that. I wish there was no Nick Cannon noncence in her life. She would have continued successful E=MC2 era. Nick often says that the Kardashians are the most down to earth people in entertainment. So I am not surprised that he demanded that amount of money for divorce. Why didn't she married Mark Sudak or somebody more decent. (Thursday 5 January 2017; 4:37)

Tommy (70,810) by Mara from United States So it's all over that Tommy wrote some letter urging Mariah to get help and fire her current team and hire all new "professional" people. Also, patting his own back as to when he was with Mariah how smooth her career ran and skyrocketed. That may all be true as you definitely didn't touch the top pop princess at that time and her image was much better. However, Stella's response? If Stella is not going anywhere, I at least wish she wasn't so raunchy in her responses to the media. It's like she feels it's so important to show the world she is this "tough boss bi#%h" and it just sounds so unprofessional and low class. There are other ways to handle and present yourself and come across with more class. That is what bothers me the most about her. Now the world is seeing this, not just the fans. Maybe she should step down and nobody says she doesn't have to stay in MC's compmay but pass the job on to someone who has more experience with a star like Mariah and someone with more music experience. Seems like her past clients are reality stars. (Thursday 5 January 2017; 4:35)

Now that I looked deeper (70,809) by JAXGH from United States It seems to me that they did that on purpose. I think when they found out that Mariah has some background tracks to sing along to and some parts to lip sync, they took advantage of it. You can't help but think that since Mariah's performance is the only one that didn't go smoothly. It also could be just someone from the tech team that worked with Mariah before (tech people jump from one company to another, all the time) and has something against her personally. Whatever it is, it's definitely choreographed, you can't say it'll be fixed when they go live and then it's not, then celebrate the fact that everyone's cringing at her and not go on commercial. That's absurd. It screams revenge. This thought came to mind when I was browsing through the local news and they posted about the performance, this one guy commented (I'll try to do it word by word): "This is Karma. I am so happy this happened. I used to helped produce music videos and had to work for her in 1997 in Honey, she was so full of herself and was so difficult to work with. Also I've been waiting to say this: but she demanded that all videos we shot be down sized so she looks skinnier." He was genuinely celebrating that Mariah was humiliated and mortified. Which speaks to me that some people she's worked with before is still seeking for revenge. I really wouldn't be surprised if the mastermind is someone from DL's tech team, and had some sort of connection from the tech people in 2014 Rockefeller. I mean they're all connected since they work in the same department in the industry. Or it could be someone that Stella had a problem with before that we know nothing about. I may sound a little crazy but someone out there hates Mariah and is continually seeking for revenge. (Thursday 5 January 2017; 4:02)

Terna speaks the truth (70,808) by Edouard from France Appreciate your positive attitude and your intelligence Terna. Thanks. (Thursday 5 January 2017; 2:53)

Re: Blind Gossip article (70,802) (70,807) by Lila from United States I saw that blind item. I've found a few blind items plausible but that one was a no. 1) Not only did Mariah and Nick have a prenup, Mariah could've taken Nick to court. Couples do it all the time. I doubt a judge would've ruled that he was entitled to $30 million dollars after 5 years of marriage and when he has his own sources of income. Second, 2) I don't believe for one minute her accountant or lawyer would let her believe that it was a smart move to pay someone $30 million dollars based on a verbal agreement (they are very hard to prove in court) that a soon-to-be, but not guaranteed, fiancée was going to kick it back. 3) The story, given by Mariah's camp, was that James and Mariah, originally, were to be married on March 1st of 2016. So, they planning to "marry" despite Mariah not being legally divorced from Nick. Yet, Several months later, the prenup still wasn't signed, they still weren't "married", and, according to Mariah's camp, Mariah found the prenup insulting. So, from all angles, there was no need to give Nick $30 million dollars and I can't see why Mariah would have. 4) Stella stop playing in the Blind Items and work on getting your stories right.

Re: A smear campaign botched (70,803) (70,806) by Marcus from Brazil Terna, you teaching me contemporary slang? When you remotely get some slang infusion over there, it's has been used here for ages. And to send someone "to have several seats" you don't need to have been in a previous discussion with that person. When you shaded Eric about preferring Mariah Buzz (dead) and Mariah Network better than MCArchives, I shouldn't have sent you to have several seats, but a stadium of seats would've been more appropriate. Dear, stop watching RuPaul's Drag Race if you're not going to represent your community well. (Thursday 5 January 2017; 1:40)

NYE front row video (70,805) by Billy from England, UK Just seen this thought I would post, I just dont understand why everyone carried on ie the dancers dancing, when they knew Mariah wasn't even singing lol. (Thursday 5 January 2017; 1:08)

Re: Blind Gossip article (70,802) (70,804) by RibbonB from USA Most blinds are lies. We have already heard the settlement, less than three million and the title to a Ferrari. (Thursday 5 January 2017; 0:59)

Re: A smear campaign botched (70,786) (70,803) by Terna from Nigeria A little contemporary slang lesson for you dear, you had to have been in an argument with me going back and forth before making use of that catch phrase "have several seats" would make sense and I don't recall being in an argument with you nor even a discussion, whoever you are. Now, hop right out of my replies. Thanks in advance. (Thursday 5 January 2017; 0:42)

Blind Gossip article (70,802) by Gigi from USA Speaking of Nick Cannon, has anyone read this Blind Gossip article? This could explain why Mariah has so many projects (ie the tour with Lionel) lined up out of nowhere. (Thursday 5 January 2017; 0:38)

Re: Article: Jenny McCarthy says her sympathy for Mariah "stopped" (70,756) (70,801) by Shezz from Pk Funny how she went from saying when your in ear monitors or prompters don't work it's like your brain is malfunctioning to - she has lost her voice and is making an excuse. Ughhh if only Mariah can break her televised performance jinx some day. Ofcourse no one will notice her great performance then. (Thursday 5 January 2017; 0:23)

Love this (70,800) by Billy from England, UK Just been watching this again after a while. I think Mariah should do a live set melody on tv of a few songs to show those people who judge her vocals that she can actually still sing, like on this video she just randomly starts singing and sounds amazing, love it and love how gorgeous she was here.
