Article: How Mariah ended up in a YouTube Red special (70,186) by Giselle UrbanPoshBeauty from US of A I enjoyed the special. I found the lead actor cute. Mariah did good and looked good. (Wednesday 21 December 2016; 21:25)

Lee Daniels on MW (70,185) by RibbonB from USA I wonder which episode Lee Daniels will appear in. I would be interested to see the lunch they had. I wonder how he is feeling about MW so far. It would be hilarious if they showed it with him fussing at Mariah, clearly his voice, but with his face pixleated/blurred, hahaha. He was the one public skeptic of her band of buddies, the rest are "yasss queeners". Most of her old friends are silent, although her old UK buddy Jasmine has tweeted about it being on a couple of times. So far I haven't read a critique from her. (Wednesday 21 December 2016; 20:44)

Re: WWHL (70,170) (70,184) by RibbonB from USA Andy and Bravo are just more of the E network continuum. Start trash and keep trash going. M is playing to that pop culture demo right now. There is a conflict with the Lionel crowd, so we will see how or if she makes that transition. She is herself a middle aged, rich, mother of young kids no less and people will be critiquing her based on that, to reference the post by Billy. (Wednesday 21 December 2016; 19:45)

Re: A galaxy far, far away (70,167) (70,183) by Lannister from USA Let's not forget that she's had 7 #1 hits post-Tommy. For most artists that would be an amazing career. (Wednesday 21 December 2016; 19:28)

The Columbia Records version of Mariah (70,182) by Warrior Butterfly from USA I am rereading Chris Nickson's Mariah Carey Revised and noticed a small enduring trait she possessed. Everyone that was involved with her always complimented that she was on time. I'm in the midst of the Music Box era of the book. Columbia gave her a strong and sound business approach to her career. I'm just going to say it she needs to consider another Mottola type of presences and it ain't Stella. (Wednesday 21 December 2016; 19:23)

Anthony Burrell latest post (70,181) by Susana from USA His last post on ig, I guess we can all guess who the bad vibes are he's referring to. (Wednesday 21 December 2016; 19:22)

Re: Lionel Richie on Facebook fans attack Mariah (70,175) (70,180) by Sheila from United States Hopefully Mariah shows up on time, sings her heart out like she did on that opening to Emotions and [...] and wins over the 35 and older crowd. [...] know those middle class older women do [...] like Mariah. But think like this, those same people saw her at [...] and they enjoyed her show. (Wednesday 21 December 2016; 19:05)

Re: Lionel Richie on Facebook fans attack Mariah (70,174) (70,179) by Licia from USA What exactly does that indicate? The hate is not needed, but I'm trying to understand what being middle age or middle class has to do with anything. (Wednesday 21 December 2016; 18:54)

I rented the loft for the Tampa show (70,178) by Jeremy Gloff from United States Hey Mariah fans. If anyone hasn't gotten tickets yet for the show in Tampa with Lionel on May 26th. I have rented the Verizon Wireless loft for me and my friends. It turns out it's on Memorial weekend and a lot of people will be out of town. I still have 13 tickets left at $160. The ticket includes a seat, food, beer, wine, and soda. If anyone is interested add me on Facebook "Jeremy Gloff". I can't wait to see Mariah. (Wednesday 21 December 2016; 17:56)

Re: Mariah's World ratings (70,166) (70,177) by B from USA Mariah's World is considered a hit by E's standards. Most of their series, with the exception of KUWTK, post similar numbers and Mariah's series doesn't have a lead in and is up against The Walking Dead the biggest show on tv at the moment. (Wednesday 21 December 2016; 16:40)

Re: Lionel Richie on Facebook fans attack Mariah (70,171) (70,175) by B from USA Lionel Richie cheated on Brenda and despite adopting Nicole was an absentee father to her during the 80's. Nicole (and Lionel) has talked about how he was always gone when she was growing up because he was constantly touring. Mariah doesn't leave her children at home in New York when she's touring, she takes them with her. Neither is he a saint and they obviously respect each other. Especially considering the diva Mariah is allowing herself to be billed as his special guest star when she's clearly headlining this tour with him. I think the Stella era will come to a close when a Mariah sees how seamless Lionel's team is able to put it together. Stella just isn't qualified to be managing Mariah and each episode of Mariah's World highlights this. (Wednesday 21 December 2016; 16:34)

Re: Lionel Richie on Facebook fans attack Mariah (70,168) (70,174) by Billy from Greece Also, if we take a closer at the comments we'll see that most of the hate comes from middle-aged, middle-class female fans of Mr Ritchie, if that is any indication of anything. (Wednesday 21 December 2016; 16:02)

Re: Mariah's World ratings (70,169) (70,173) by B from USA A bigger hit than Jane The Virgin and Crazy Ex Girlfriend plus people don't watch tv traditionally anymore. (Wednesday 21 December 2016; 15:05)

Re: What the fudge (70,164) (70,172) by TJ from Norway I know that, but it's not one of those good traditions. I miss the 1990 version of her. It's about time I put the "First vision" DVD on, so I don't forget why I started being a fan that year. (Wednesday 21 December 2016; 15:03)

Re: Lionel Richie on Facebook fans attack Mariah (70,168) (70,171) by THE TRUTH from USA Lionel is a class act who will absolutely show up on time, climb up on stage on his own steam, give his all to his fans, and definitely not lip synch. His fans pay their hard earned money to go hear great music music from someone they've followed for years. If MCs show and media coverage ate indicative of what they can expect, it's understandable why they might be upset. Still no reason to be all hateful and mean. (Wednesday 21 December 2016; 14:51)

Re: WWHL (70,151) (70,170) by Lila from United States Same. It's annoying and pointless. I'm tired of shade and all the rest. I can't get over how many people think this mess is cute and/or funny when grown ass people acting like children is really just stupid. I wish we could get some interviews with some true substance. (Wednesday 21 December 2016; 14:37)

Re: Mariah's World ratings (70,153) (70,169) by Lila from United States "According to live+same-day data posted by Showbuzz, Mariah's World drew a 0.33 adults 18-49 rating and 0.73 million total viewers. The numbers trail the 0.41 rating and 0.81 million viewer mark posted by last week's episode." That's from Headline Planet. I've posted the ratings for the other episodes on past posts of mine.

Re: Lionel Richie on Facebook fans attack Mariah (70,163) (70,168) by R&B Junkie from Poland I've been there, on Lionel's profile and I'm devastated. So many people throwing so much hate towards Mariah's participation in this tour are in reality throwing this towards Lionel. It is sad to read messages such as "I love Lionel, but I can't take Mariah so I won't go". It smells like hating your best friend's another friend. A completely converse attitude to what we can learn from Lionel's lyrics. (Wednesday 21 December 2016; 13:52)

Re: A galaxy far, far away (70,165) (70,167) by THE TRUTH from USA Yep. As soon as Tommy was out of the picture she decided to go 180 degrees in the opposite direction, like a child having a tantrum and trying to prove a point at all cost. Stella is only the latest in a series of missteps which are chipping away at her legacy. (Wednesday 21 December 2016; 12:06)

Re: Mariah's World ratings (70,149) (70,166) by THE TRUTH from USA No, not quite a flop by industry standards yet. A giant turd sure but will likely take another few weeks to arrive in the red. You can watch it's demise and track it's descent on showbuzzdaily.com and please can we stop blaming it's failure and every other thing on Stella. If the show were doing great everyone would be praising MC for her genius. In the real world you only get to take credit for your victories when you own your failures as well. All the scapegoating is lame. I've rarely seen Lambs praising and attributing MCs hits to her management even though often and particularly in the Mottola era they were in large part due to his brilliant management and guidance. That said, certainly when MC finally fires Stella we'll discover she'd been spiking the splashes hence all of MC's poor choices. (Wednesday 21 December 2016; 12:02)

Re: A galaxy far, far away (70,152) (70,165) by Andrew from UK Really well written. I think it's quite simple, though. Stella is trying to pitch Mariah to a young audience, but it's an incredibly ill-conceived model as young people (save, perhaps, for a few) aren't ever going to get into Mariah and all the slightly-less-young and older people, who've been following Mariah for the best part of her career, feel sidelined and bemused as to how such a dramatic paradigm shift occurred. It's almost like Mariah is stabbing her core fans in the back with Stella's hand guiding the knife. However, Mariah's problems started a few years before Stella came along and instead of making the right decisions, Mariah has, mostly, made all of the wrong ones. (Wednesday 21 December 2016; 11:39)

Re: What the fudge (70,150) (70,164) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter That's her Aspen tradition. There will be one more of her in a bikini in a hot tub in the middle of the snow. Side note: funny thing is now Mishka writes "Aspen Tradition" in her insta post, like girl you've just been going to Aspen since last year, calm it down. (Wednesday 21 December 2016; 11:11)

Re: Lionel Richie on Facebook fans attack Mariah (70,157) (70,163) by darrian liu from taiwan Why are they attacking Mariah? (Wednesday 21 December 2016; 8:56)

Biggest mistake ever (70,162) by BLEUX ROGUE from U. S. A. Mariah you will regret ever hiring this [censored] Eastern European [censored] Stella. She has slowly and steadily ruined your brand and legend icon status. It's going to end bad. [...] I'll stick to the classic Mariah from the 90's. When Tommy handled your career. It was better. (Wednesday 21 December 2016; 6:06)

Glitter: The Musical (70,161) by BLEUX ROGUE from U. S. A. Mariah [...] don't pull a "Streisand". You're way too old, getting older and your voice can't handle Broadway. Your voice is beyond special and unique. (Wednesday 21 December 2016; 5:50)
