Tommy Mottola (71,798) by T from USA With Mariah now turning this all on James (even though we know she was one that was dumped) by saying how much hell he put her through. Now I'm starting to wonder if Tommy Mottola was really as bad as Mariah said he was. Or does she just have a pattern of playing the victim? (Monday 30 January 2017; 14:46)

Re: MW episode 8 : Mimi L review (71,790) (71,797) by Musti from UK I feel the same about the lyrics. They feel like a reference to Nick rather than James. "Somewhere in another life", "leaving you was my worst fear". Even the "no more tears" lyric. She had sung a snippet of Barbra and Donna's "No More Tears" during The Elusive Chanteuse Show after the breakup with Nick. Or maybe I'm reading too much into it. The lyrics overall are way beneath her, with her grammar reaching new lows. The song itself sounds alright, better than some of the other non-album tracks she's released like Triumphant and Infamous. I still think she should stop releasing JD-produced singles though. Perhaps the fact that they know each other so well is the very reason why they're back in Mariah's musical comfort zone. They no longer push each other. ABMB, How Much, The One, half of TEOM were all amazing but they've practically stopped creating new sounds since TEOM. I don't think it's a terrible song. I was just expecting more. Maybe she's no longer as innovative as she once was. Or maybe she just doesn't care. I'll buy the song when it's released and hope for something better in the near future.

Re: MW episode 8 : Mimi L review (71,790) (71,796) by Will from England Let's not forget that a huge section of the Mariah and James story is missing i.e. the fight on the yacht that occured between SA and Hawaii. Whatever happened on that boat, could be what Mariah refused to talk about on the show etc. and what she may or may not be talking about in the song snippet. (Monday 30 January 2017; 13:33)

Re: MW episode 8 : Mimi L review (71,790) (71,795) by Licia from USA So now that the mess fest show is over maybe they can focus on the song and properly promote it. It's probably not a good idea to stay on a social media hiatus with new music coming out. With the exception of fans I don't really think anyone else knows. All the fans on Twitter are talking about a nineteenth number one, but without great promotion and the general public's help this song may not turn into the hit number 1 chasers want. Ill just be happy if it turns into a halfway decent song. Lol. (Monday 30 January 2017; 13:27)

Re: MW finale plot twist? (71,789) (71,794) by RibbonB from USA Lol no it was just my opinion of "good" or at least better than the alternatives, but when she played "Camouflage" and I also heard that she played "Cry" in the final episode, I thought that she might want time alone to think things over or even consider going back with Nick. Did anyone notice that MW official twitter posted that he is the only one who can stand up to the queen? But I think it is true that he does not want to go back, certainly not to her plus her entourage of kiss asses. No man in a serious relationship would want their life televised like that, which is why I never believed James and definitely don't believe the hired help. But people do lots of stuff for a check and fame and Mariah may very well be that narcissist that I keep hearing about. She really is morphing into a "Careydashian". (Monday 30 January 2017; 13:21)

Re: Mariah interview thank you Ty (71,793) by Sheila from United States I really loved Madonna's first cd with Holiday and all those great songs and Janet's Control is a classic. I really want to hear the demos Mariah is talking about, where are they? The demo alone is probably so pretty. (Monday 30 January 2017; 13:08)

Re: Nevermind, it's a bop (71,782) (71,792) by Malcolm from Asia Yes, there so much to say about the song, the lyrics, the intention but it's pretty decent so I'll just pass on it. Now, all it needs is a killer video and not a generic Mariah body touching moment, like give us something new this time please. (Monday 30 January 2017; 12:52)

Re: Mariah's World: Finale aka Dear Lord no S2 (71,771) (71,791) by RibbonB from USA Lol it's funny and sad all the people who really thought she wasn't going exactly where she projected she was going with this show and story line. People were like, oh Tanaka is gay, he is bi, these are skits, these are jokes. The joke is on her fans. Many are cool with it though. She comes off as totally inauthentic and not very likeable IMO, but she definitely has committed to her part. If she proceeds with number two, I hope she doesn't do a Sherrie Shepard and agree to a surrogate baby with the help. Sherrie is paying child support for 18 years for a baby that is not even hers. She totally played herself too. Women do wacky stuff sometimes. Oh well. (Monday 30 January 2017; 12:46)

Re: MW episode 8 : Mimi L review (71,773) (71,790) by RibbonB from USA Well obviously I didn't get my one good outcome. I am still hoping for no season two of Mariah's World. They really got out their revisionist pens for this one it seems. Glad the family part with Nick and his mom was good and cute at least. They do seem the only realistic thing. I heard the longer snippet and clips of it on Twitter and it sounds OK, but as I thought, Mariah makes herself out to be the victim. Very Trump like again with the "alternative facts". The lyrics seem to be very much about Nick though, especially since she hardly had time with James, nor did she seem to develop and closeness with him and we all know he said I don't. They all made it clear that she got dumped and was still waiting for her fee so I still don't get why she is still wearing the ring and why they were just filming scenes last week etc. Oh well, time to let this puzzle go and listen out for any good new music. If she wants to sell fake melodramatic music, it might be good not to show all the mess behind the curtain while filming and recording. As always, I hope the kids are doing OK in all of this mess.

Re: MW finale plot twist? (71,770) (71,789) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Now that we've had the worst possible scenario as the finale, can you please share your theory/idea? I need some positivity after this mess. (Monday 30 January 2017; 12:36)

Re: MW episode 8 : Mimi L review (71,781) (71,788) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter For sure there will be more of those awkward dance steps that they do everytime they see each other, whether it's at the bar, in the house, at the gazebo or on the beach. Stella will be lurking in the shadows like she does everytime M and Tanaka are alone and eventually come out when things turn a little too much, because she needs to ensure her position isn't taken by anyone. (Monday 30 January 2017; 12:34)

Re: MW episode 8 : Mimi L review (71,783) (71,787) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha absolutely. Ain't no way Stella will allow anyone to have Mariah but herself. In season 2 we'll see how Tanaka was only using Mariah and Stella is the only one who loved Mariah unconditionally and with all her heart. (Monday 30 January 2017; 12:32)

Re: Nevermind, it's a bop (71,782) (71,786) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The longer version does make the song sound more promising. I just wish the lyrics were a bit better though. I have always been a fan of Mariah's lyrics because they are always so unique and poetic. Anyways I might change my mind when I hear the full song. However I don't think that at some point in the song she'll say it's partly her fault, especially after the latest episode where she basically talked about how "he's put her through hell" and how horrible the relationship was. They are trying to turn it around by saying M was the one who got hurt because James was bad and so M dumped him. Throughout the season there wasn't even 1 scene where James and Mariah were alone talking, it was always her arriving at a public place/party with her entourage and then basically "socializing" with James for a few hours and going back home. Whereas there are so many scenes of her alone with Tanaka and flirting. How can a relationship survive like that? We don't get this feeling just from MW though, remember we were all talking about how M is never alone on dates with Packer because her entourage is always there in paparazzi shots? So weird. In the scene where they were trying to figure out (or Stella basically rejecting) the wedding date, Mariah was like "oh well what about the 16th?" And Stella is like "no you're not available". I'm like what? She can't take a date off for her wedding? Even regular people get days off. Funny to say "oh we can't be together, our schedules don't match". (Monday 30 January 2017; 12:31)

MW #8 is the best episode: Nick and Mariah (71,785) by Sheila from United States The song does remind me of Infinity. But a little more radio friendly, at least she gave us a slight piano moment, a VOL vocal run moment and she gave fierce fashion and glamour in this episode. Finally. The highlight for me was not the song, but Nick and Mariah. It was the rare authentic moment, and that's the "real" Mariah. Loved it so much. (Monday 30 January 2017; 11:52)

Re: Mariah interview (71,767) (71,784) by Norman from USA Love (all caps) that interview (exclamation). Can you imagine Glitter set in the 70s with an all soul soundtrack? Thank you for posting this. (Monday 30 January 2017; 11:33)

Re: MW episode 8 : Mimi L review (71,781) (71,783) by Licia from USA Lol Season 2 will begin with her being engaged to Banaka Tanaka and it will end with her marrying Stella. I can see it now. Stella will be the only man in Mariah's life besides Roc. Lol. (Monday 30 January 2017; 11:08)

Re: Nevermind, it's a bop (71,776) (71,782) by Licia from USA The longer version kind of helps. I still don't like that semi fast vocal moment in the first verse. It gets better for me on the chorus. There's hope I may purchase this song on Friday. Lol I agree with you on the lyrics. I don't like how she's turning this on him. Hopefully there's a part in the full version where she takes responsibility for her part in the situation. Afterall the pictures and Snapchat videos of her don't lie. Marissa you know how this goes. It's everyone's fault except for Mariah. Lol. (Monday 30 January 2017; 11:04)

Re: MW episode 8 : Mimi L review (71,779) (71,781) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands I have a feeling there will be a second season of Mariah's World (if the network doesn't cancel the show). The next season will be about Mariah's wedding to Bryan, and them going on honeymoon (of course Stella and her family will join them). I'm already curious how the will film the wedding night. (Monday 30 January 2017; 11:01)

Re: Mariah interview (71,767) (71,780) by Dennis from Miami, FL I don't remember any other time, exept for Daydream promo in London, when Mariah mentioned Madonna at all. And why always Madonna's first album? Why not True Blue or Like a Virgin? She also mentions those demos for VOL and Hypnotized. Will we ever hear them? (Monday 30 January 2017; 10:59)

Re: MW episode 8 : Mimi L review (71,773) (71,779) by Licia from USA I told y'all they were going to make it seem as if she cancelled the wedding. It's embarrassing for the Mariah Carey to be dumped. Blusharella was not going to allow that to happen even though she was part of the cause of the relationship ending. Lol I so hope there's no season 2 of this mess. (Monday 30 January 2017; 10:48)

Re: Nevermind, it's a bop (71,776) (71,778) by Will from England Personally, I thought it almost sounded as if she wrote it from both James' and her own perspectives rather than just hers. (Monday 30 January 2017; 10:44)

Re: Mariah's World: Finale aka Dear Lord no S2 (71,771) (71,777) by Licia from USA I hate that I missed the birthday outing with Nick and his mom. I love to see them all together. She seems to let loose a little more with Nick and the kids (sometimes). I respect them trying to be civil for the babies. I love that Nick always makes sure his mom is there for the twins as well. (Monday 30 January 2017; 10:36)

Nevermind, it's a bop (71,776) by Marissa from USA What a difference a full video makes. Sounds like a semi-bop and probably the most solid song she's made in years. I thought it was going to be trash from the first video I saw. Lyrically I'm not feeling it only because she's trying to frame James as this horrible person when she was practically (if not fully) cheating on him for a large chunk of the relationship. Her disrespecting her relationship almost the whole time and trying to make it seem like he was a shitty person is evil and I'm disappointed in the way she's acting. Sorry positive lambs, but based on her behavior, James deserved way (caps) better than her. Being pretty was about all she brought to the table in that particular relationship. I'd gladly take Mariah sloppy seconds: a nice, lowkey, romantic and generous billionaire? Sign me the f*** up while Mariah takes L's with a backup dancer. It's gonna take a lot for me to overlook the context in which the song was written, but I think it's pretty nice from what I heard. (Monday 30 January 2017; 10:21)

Re: New song (71,746) (71,775) by darrian liu from taiwan I think you're talking about her airy, whispery voice. It's not an actual register, just some texture manipulation, but I too, don't like her voice in the snippet. When she goes into the fuller, chest voice it sounded tight and strangled, although she should be comfortable in those notes (G4-D5). Her voice sounds dry and lacks that punch, fullness and brightness she had in the 2014-2015 shows of Beacon theater and the SSFT European dates. As a result her airy voice starts to sound dry too. Her airy voice sounds better in MIAM and I think sounds the best in Charmbracelet era. She should see a vocal coach while she still has it. She has to cancel season 2 and do a hiatus, seriously. Taking a four year break like Adele after 21 is a good idea. In those 4 years she can get a grip on herself, be with her kids, train those vocals, be healthier and reflect on her life and career and most importantly reflect on the people she has around. Remove toxic ones (looking at you, Blush ). (Monday 30 January 2017; 7:59)

I don't (71,774) by Dan from US I do love her vocals and the beat so far. I can't freaking wait until the 3rd, like Mariah stop the teasing with your music just drop it with no info, that would be much better lol, can't wait. (Monday 30 January 2017; 7:11)
