Vegas 9/7/16 (66,009) by 123 from USA Wow Ty you went to a great show. She did the best VOL of this leg and even hit that F5 at the end. She also did another great performance of TGIFY and of course she killed My All. (Friday 9 September 2016; 3:56)

Re: Wednesday meet and greet drama (65,998) (66,008) by Ty from USA He has 2-3 meet and greets lol. I bet that's gonna be weird because they won't refund him. (Friday 9 September 2016; 3:34)

Re: Duet With Ja Rule prevented a sophomore slump (65,970) (66,007) by 123 from USA Don't think for a minute that you stumped me, as I've just been too busy living my life to actually take the time out to respond. Your one and only receipt ever on the board is laughable (Roger Friedman was a known Mariah basher before she put him on the payroll as reported on an article on this board and the article has tons of inaccuracies to take seriously). The case was dropped for Can't Let Go as reported by MTV's Week In Rock as the 9 notes that they claim were lifted were cited as common cord progressions in popular music and the songwriting duo were presented with two songs released in 1989 with the same cords, Keith Sweats "Make It Last" and Taylor Dayne's "Love Will Lead You Back". It was basically, drop the case or they will sue you next. During this case it was also clarified that Mariah composes the lyrics and the melody on top of the music that is presented to her as she explains here at the 6:31 mark. You don't lie or embellish? There was never an argument that sampling was "normal" in 1991. Re-read my post. It was the simple fact that "sampling" was a relatively new concept in 1991 mostly used by hip hop producers. You lie, embellish, troll, and flip flop your position as it suits whatever manufactured drama you create that day. (Randy being a prime example.) Red herring indeed. Finally, how easily you forgot that I changed my avatar after you stated Mariah should wear pants like Celine and stop having black people on the stage. I responded with a video of Celine singing with a black back up singer on stage and said your pants idea was boring unless it was something similar to the cover. To which, like always, you have no response. It's you that keeps reading my posts and can't help but reply thinking "Ill get him this time", only to be shot down again. You are quite obsessed, pressed, and recently boring. You are no fun anymore. I can picture you waving your fist in the air while yelling "curses". Surely. (Friday 9 September 2016; 2:54)

Article: Before and after plastic surgery (66,006) by Natalia from Italy For those interested, here is a link to an article that gives a good "breakdown" of all the possible procedures that Mariah has had done. I totally understand wanting to stay young and beautiful, but when it gets to the point where you don't look like the same person, that's just taking things too far in my opinion. No wonder there are so many videos out there saying that the real Mariah died in the 90's and was replaced by multiple clones. I wonder if her children notice the difference?

Makeup, botox and plastic surgery (66,005) by Marissa from USA What has been going on with Kris Buckle's makeup looks for MC lately? It's making matters worse than they are. Mariah has been having way too many drag queen makeup incidents within the past year and as someone who's been doing her makeup since the 90s, he should know damn well that he's making her look ridiculous. I love him but he needs to pull it together. Also, I'm very disappointed in Mariah if she had something beyond botox (and it looks like she got some damn cheek implants). I know there are a lot of celebrities who've had it but she was always acting shocked, appalled and insulted if anyone even insinuated that she had any work done, so to see her look more and more like Michael Jackson or a wax figure is frightening as evidenced in these photos, photos, photos.

Re: What the hell (66,002) (66,004) by RibbonB from USA Mariah was so cute in 2008, she looked natural and happy and relaxed. Lately, her looks are totally extreme along with her makeup. Sometimes it looks scary. (Thursday 8 September 2016; 23:23)

Re: Mariah's songwriting (66,001) (66,003) by RibbonB from USA She does not play an instrument. She co writes with a pianist accompanying her, she sings out the melody. Or as I said producers present her with tracks. My point was she utilizes co-writers to develop the music and many have presented her with tracks that have led to lawsuits. It's not like she went out stealing music and she certainly writes her own lyrics. It's all in my post. A song consists of music and lyrics. (Thursday 8 September 2016; 23:22)

What the hell (66,002) by Giovanni from USA "Mariah has always been chubby in her cheeks"? Yeah right. From Mariah's debut all the way up to 2001 Mariah's face and weight was always slim. She didn't start to gain weight until 2002. In 2005 she was much thicker and curvy but it suited her. You can't tell me Mariah's face was chubby in 2008, 2012 or 2013. If you do you need glasses. Her face was super thin, and she looked gorgeous and way younger. (Thursday 8 September 2016; 22:11)

Re: Mariah's songwriting (65,977) (66,001) by Giovanni from USA Mariah does not write her music? You lost me there RibbonB. (Thursday 8 September 2016; 21:59)

Dear Andrew (66,000) by B from USA In Swirsky v. Carey, the court found that a type of expert musicological analysis, commonly called "melodic reduction", can raise a triable issue of fact concerning similarity. This article will explain melodic reduction and the problems that the Swirsky decision and melodic reduction may pose for defendants in music copyright infringement cases. (Thursday 8 September 2016; 21:48)

Re: Duet With Ja Rule prevented a sophomore slump (65,991) (65,999) by B from USA Which case are you talking about? The TGIFY case or the Hero case? The guy that claimed to have written Hero did not receive a settlement and that case was dismissed. (Thursday 8 September 2016; 21:42)

Re: Wednesday meet and greet drama (65,996) (65,998) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter That is horrible. And to say to a fan that "Mariah doesn't like them and just tolerates them" is the worst thing. I think I saw this Barbie on instagram, whoever the fan is, if I remember correctly got it made from this other instagram page and he was very happy to be able to see Mariah soon (I saw the post a while back) and give it to her. I don't think that's a big demand. I hope he gets an apology from her team. (Thursday 8 September 2016; 21:29)

Stella's face (65,997) by Ty from USA Stella while I hate to admit it was very cool with fans, she was actually very parental making sure everyone was ok. Her face has had too much work, she looked like Latoya Jackson in the face, but again her hugs were real and she was comforting waiting for Mariah for 2 hours. (Thursday 8 September 2016; 21:00)

Re: Wednesday meet and greet drama (65,994) (65,996) by Ty from USA He just wanted to give Mariah a Mariah Barbie he had made. Now keep in mind he has traveled all over the world to see her, spent thousands on meet and greets and in one night was treated like an animal by security staff, to be told "Mariah doesn't even really like you, she tolerates you" to a super fan is bad business. (Thursday 8 September 2016; 20:58)

Re: Wednesday meet and greet drama (65,982) (65,995) by Lara from Middle East Now we know 2 things. First, Stella has been silent on instagram because she was undergoing surgery and second why the bra era is going full force. (Thursday 8 September 2016; 19:48)

Re: Wednesday meet and greet drama (65,982) (65,994) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Wait, what drama did the fan cause? (Thursday 8 September 2016; 19:46)

Re: Queen Sugar (65,978) (65,993) by RibbonB from USA There has been some really good music and I am interesting in buying a soundtrack if one comes out. Are you watching the show? Seems so good, so far, two episodes in. (Thursday 8 September 2016; 18:06)

Re: Duet With Ja Rule prevented a sophomore slump (65,987) (65,992) by RibbonB from USA Well the feud will go on as long as M. let's it be an issue for her. She could ask interviewers to leave that issue alone, just as they never bring up the doughnut licker A.G. Lol it's just whatever to me. It's not like M. is ever going to fight her over it, or sue her. *shrug* (Thursday 8 September 2016; 18:03)

Re: Duet With Ja Rule prevented a sophomore slump (65,988) (65,991) by Andrew from UK The point was that Mariah was sued for copyright infringement and she settled the case: "The judgement was later reversed and the lawsuit reinstated in 2004; Carey and Swirsky settled out of court in 2006." (Wikipedia) Your dancing around it trying to find mistakes in a journalist's copy does nothing to deny this. Facts are facts because they're facts. They don't suddenly become non-facts open to debate because you write something irrelevant and say it proves something else. Nonsense. What people like you are actually trying to do is convince other people of the lies that fit your agenda which actually quite vulgar and disrespectful of other people. Should they be denied the truth because you are emotionally incapable of facing it? In addition, it was understood, as I recall, that Mariah's own notes have her declaring to have written Hero shortly after the movie, for which it was claimed she had written it, was released. Thus, it remained somewhat open ended as to what really happened, despite being dismissed, as although not evidence enough as to the liability, nobody could fathom the huge discrepancy.

Re: Mariah's face (65,984) (65,990) by Luke from United Kingdom I'm not a fan of botox either. I'm pretty sure there are natural enhancers that fade after a few weeks and look more natural. She's always been chubby in her cheeks so anything she puts into her face is only going to emphasise that. (Thursday 8 September 2016; 17:50)

Re: Mariah's face (65,964) (65,989) by B from USA Have you seen the photo of her with KB and his assistant? He makes her up to look like him. It's like their channeling Ken Paves and Jesssica Simpson. She needs a new makeup artist and stylist asap. (Thursday 8 September 2016; 15:23)

Re: Duet With Ja Rule prevented a sophomore slump (65,970) (65,988) by B from USA Xscape doesn't sing background vocals on TGIFY, they sang the background vocals on the Mr. Dupri remix of ABMB. The article also falsely states JD produced TGIFY which was produced by Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, and Mariah. This case was dismissed. Try again and maybe next time use a source that knows what theiy're talking about. (Thursday 8 September 2016; 15:18)

Re: Duet With Ja Rule prevented a sophomore slump (65,973) (65,987) by B from USA I don't. The woman, like Ms. Grande, built her career emulating Mariah. Let's not pretend a shrewd business woman was too young and naive to know what was going on. (Thursday 8 September 2016; 15:08)

AYNAF (65,986) by B from USA Mariah slayed this performance. (Thursday 8 September 2016; 14:58)

Re: Mariah's songwriting (65,977) (65,985) by B from USA Exactly. C&C brought her the tracks used for the Emotions album and she added to them. She's even said she asked them if they thought the songs sound to similar and that they reassured her. (Thursday 8 September 2016; 13:57)
