Re: Ribbon (71,943) (71,960) by May from Denmark I honestly never read his book. He was controlling, no doubt, but that's why I asked in which way. Truth is he apologized, he got a new wife who bizzardly enough has an air to Mariah and happens to also be a singer. I always felt he just couldn't get over Mariah so he got what in his life could be a "second best", Thalia is also very happy-jumpy like Mariah, always with a big smile. I believe Mariah was deeply affected by the situation as she was very young, but her inability to just move on was obvious, that was until Nick. I think Nick helped her heal many things but during the divorce other things opened. But truth is that Mariah lives in constant victimization mode, everything bad that happens, be it business or emotional, it is always someone's else fault. You even mentioned a couple, as if the entire world is against her. Every time something explodes she calls it sabotage, and those around her call it sabotage, and I know is a Mariahism because before Stella came into the already sinking ship, she used that word a fair amount of times, then first thing that goes wrong Stella calls it sabotage, and there we go, the world again against Mariah, because everyone who crosses her path wants sweet revenge. We can't dear Nikki, there is a limit as to how much one can believe that Mariah is being attacked. She is always saying "because people don't know what I'm going through/went through" all while boating some exotic land, lounging on a sofa, sipping some wine, with her circus surrounding her. Yes Mariah, I can see how bad you are having it. You see Nikki, the image she projects constantly doesn't fit anything of the things she does, sounds like the terrible enduring jobs Paris Hilton and Ricci had to do in their old tv show, you know, "I lifted a finger, how hard that was, I need a break". From her perspective it is always like that, life is so hard. I think she is totally ready for Real Housewives, she already passed the scripted reality and the fake drama lessons. Not bashing MC, but just tired of the constant soappy mood and blank blaming. (Thursday 2 February 2017; 13:31)

I Don't (71,959) by darrian liu from taiwan After seeing the video teaser, I guess I'll just stream it on Spotify and listen through iTunes. I'm ignoring it like I ignored Mariah's World (probably would still rush as soon as the video drops to watch lol). (Thursday 2 February 2017; 13:28)

Article: Mariah congratulates Beyonce on pregnancy with twins (71,958) by darrian liu from taiwan The media has to stop this "Mariah doesn't like Bey" when Mariah has stated otherwise in various interviews. Kinda pisses me off. (Thursday 2 February 2017; 13:23)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey previews video for new single I Don't (71,952) (71,957) by May from Denmark I loved your "lemme" list. Cracked me up. (Thursday 2 February 2017; 13:14)

Re: Sorry Mariah (71,954) (71,956) by Licia from USA Todd, although I can't honestly say I'll always support everything, you aren't alone in your feelings. As much as I dislike the person she has become I'll always love her music. I refuse to let her antics as of late change my feelings on that. The music is what keeps me around, even when it's bad. (Thursday 2 February 2017; 12:59)

Re: I Wish You Well (71,928) (71,955) by THE TRUTH from USA Shawn I mean Lannister, I have always felt sorry for you. It must be hard being you but I guess the booze and Twinkies must be some consolation. Keep trolling. (Thursday 2 February 2017; 12:39)

Sorry Mariah (71,954) by Todd from Melbourne, Australia OK. So I'm alone (the other half is in Paris, stupid Melbourne), and tonight I put my iTunes on a Mariah shuffle. I heard songs I haven't even thought about for years. "The Wind", "Right to Dream", "Open Arms", "Butterfly", "Music Box". And I was reminded why I completely fell in love with this woman's voice, songwriting and charisma that no other artist has come close to (in my humble opinion). I'm exceptionally critical of the Mariah of 2017 (friends of mine take great pleasure in pointing out NYE and Mariah's World antics), but at the end of the day this is someone who, without going into soppy detail, saved my life 20 years ago - and without her I wouldn't be here typing this Sauvignon Blanc induced post. And for that, I literally owe her my life. Yeah, the Mariah's World era bugs the f**k out of me. Stella is a c**t. But ultimately, I will forever support Mariah Carey. (Thursday 2 February 2017; 12:08)

Mariah's new video: she has lost her touch (71,953) by Sheila from United States Of course she's laying down on "something", trying to look sexy while going through her mid-life crisis. Thegrapejuice.net have you seen the comments? They wonder why Faded was paid dust but they release this garbage. (Thursday 2 February 2017; 11:47)

Article: Mariah Carey previews video for new single I Don't (71,952) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Okay, so from the preview it seems like another montage of fake-sexy shots possibly devoid of any narrative. I actually like (yes, just like) the song and this video just cheapens it. At least in the video for #Beautiful her outfits came off as flirty. That black PVC outfit screams bondage-gone-wrong. That white lace leotard isn't any much better either. And her "sexy" antics are just so try-hard at this point. The tired lemme show ya some leg, lemme stroke my hair, lemme gyrate slowly tricks seem so sexy 101 and only register as uncomfortable at best. That's not how you tease a video. And if those are the best shots then we are in trouble. Mariah serves awkward once again. The only thing I liked was how they stylized the song title in the end, with the words "I do" differing in color from the letters "n" and "t". (Thursday 2 February 2017; 11:21)

Beyoncé having twins (71,951) by darrian liu from taiwan Congratulations for Bey. Ugh, imagine how cute Roc and Roe would be with Bey's twins? Although their play date would probably be Blue Blue l still think it's so cute. (Thursday 2 February 2017; 11:08)

Re: I Don't longer tease (71,945) (71,950) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha by the way are all 3 shots of MC in the different ensembles all shot in the Rolls Royce? And YG is rapping from Mariah's Calabasas home? (Thursday 2 February 2017; 11:02)

Re: I Don't longer tease (71,946) (71,949) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter From the clip alone, I'm not feeling the rap. But let's see how the full version sounds. I mean I didn't really love the first snippet of the song but the longer snippet made me like it. So maybe the full version will help me like the rap too. She could have just gone solo though and added the rap for a re-sung remix. (Thursday 2 February 2017; 10:54)

Re: Video teaser (71,938) (71,948) by Martyn from England, UK Wow, a narrative-less video featuring Mariah touching herself up on a bed in slow motion, interspersed with shots of a rent-a-rapper and expensive items like chandeliers and big cars. Groundbreaking. (Thursday 2 February 2017; 10:50)

Re: I Don't longer tease (71,945) (71,947) by Gigi from USA I agree. I was actually excited about new music until I saw the video teaser and listened to YG. My gosh - what is happening to her? Is it bad that I want James Packer to release his side of the story now? Damn, I feel bad for him. I can't imagine that someone of his stature would willingly agree to be in a fake relationship with a superstar just so she can bash him later in order to promote her fake reality TV show and new music. I just can't. James, please come through. This nonsense has to end. (Thursday 2 February 2017; 10:18)

Re: I Don't longer tease (71,945) (71,946) by Licia from USA I'm trying to hold all my opinions until I see or hear the whole thing. That clip does nothing to make me happy and I may judge it too harshly. Lol. (Thursday 2 February 2017; 10:03)

I Don't longer tease (71,945) by RibbonB from USA Wow, YG's rap sounds wack and the video looks weird to say the least. This is going to be interesting, but based on the longer tease I don't think I will get into this one. Some lambs are already gassing her up on Twitter though. (Thursday 2 February 2017; 8:35)

Video (71,944) by George Golden from UK Well here we go again. Well they say if you have got nothing nice to say just don't say anything. (Thursday 2 February 2017; 8:11)

Re: Ribbon (71,943) by Nikki from usa Mariah did fire Cindi. In fact, many of us on the board had been complaining about the fact Cindi was never releasing statements for Mariah or handling her in any way. Mariah had switched publicists 3 months before Cindi contacted Page 6. Mariah's full letter was published and it was very sweet. She applauded Berger's career and it was filled with thanks for her work up until that point, but stated she wanted to go a different direction. She wanted to honor her for her accomplishments as "woman of the year" and come up with a joint statement for the press. The sheer fact a publicist contacted a major gossip column to say they dumped an artist looks like saving face. You also seem to have a hard time distinguishing between what Mariah's official camp says and taking gossip columns "sources" as Mariah's word. I wouldn't take any James vs. Mariah's thing too seriously. It would appear they have contracts about being able to talk about it which would explain the current situation. She might have to aim for ridiculous if truly talking about it isn't on the table. There was something fishy about NYE. TMZ had a clip proving the album cut of Emotions was supposed to be played, but that's not the version DCP did live. Even boards for soundtechs were abuzz after that. They said it was bizarre that nobody jumped on stage to check her equipment, especially for a performance that long. DCP has had trouble keeping top talent for their show after Dick died, after all, why did they call Mariah to headline? However, even if MC has a right to be ticked, nailing them to the wall wouldn't be in her best interest. They're powerful and are in touch with a lot of other musically inclined shows. Stella should've gone with a joint statement. (Thursday 2 February 2017; 7:48)

Video teaser (71,942) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) So far it looks like the same expired trying to be sexy act when it is so unnecessary because MC is very sexy in her own right when she is not trying hard. Hopefully MC gets a clue and learns that she is losing with all the extra ness and losing big time. (Thursday 2 February 2017; 7:35)

Re: Tommy Mottola (71,941) by Nikki from usa I don't think the guy who tried to sabotage her entire career should be given any free pass. I also don't see how gloating in his own book how he isolated her and instructed their house staff not to look her in the eye or speak to her - being treated like a ghost in her own home - before "apologizing" for being controlling "because I knew she had so much talent" really suffices as an apology. He doesn't even act like his actions in the Glitter debacle ever happened. Mariah never went into full details, she stuck with buzz words. What sticks out to me is what producers and Da Brat stated before she and Mottola split. A couple of producers mentioned it was hard to work because he would call every other hour to see how things were going and constantly reminding them they had to be done by 7pm because a car would be there to take her home for dinner. Da Brat didn't understand why Mariah kept whispering and Mariah told her it was because she didn't want the audio from the cameras around the house to pick up their talk. You can actually see some of those cameras in the remix video for Always Be My Baby. (Thursday 2 February 2017; 7:28)

I don't know her (71,940) by Manny from U.S. I don't know who this Mariah is anymore. I was trying to be the fan I was before during this Mariah's World. I thought that it couldn't get worse. But I saw the "I don't" preview and she flips off, I guess Packer wearing the ring. What the hell? Really, Mariah. I'm sorry but James should be the one saying FU to you. You were flirting with your boy toy, lap dance and all when you were supposed to be engaged. Where is her logic and common sense? The whole video has no taste. I am slowly losing my loyalty. I literally rolled my eyes when I saw her flip off. I guess this "empowerment" song is about being a man hater. I don't like this new era. After I saw Mishka say something about her ass, I was done with this low life of a manager. Empowering women is repecting yourself and other women. How are you teaching your girl to be so vulgar? I'm not feeling this Mariah anymore and it sucks. I have been a fan since her debut. When I was in sixth grade. (Thursday 2 February 2017; 6:53)

Re: Tommy Mottola (71,930) (71,939) by Malcolm from Asia I don't really know what happened back in the day but I watched some videos, articles, etc. about the situation. After that, one thing has crossed my mind, what if Mariah's claim was just too far-fetched and overrated? But it's no doubt that Tommy is the mastermind behind Mariah's phenomenal success in the 90's, that's that. (Thursday 2 February 2017; 6:28)

Video teaser (71,938) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Here's a teaser of the video. (Thursday 2 February 2017; 5:41)

Re: Whose the liar: Mariah or James? (71,919) (71,937) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha what feels different this time is she's over doing it. Crafting a whole reality show to set up an alternative explanation of what happened to her relationship when the whole world already knew the truth, pushing this "Tanaka is my soul mate" crap too hard (maybe because Packer disliked him) and saying "oh I know him for so long, there's a connection that you can't have with everybody" and how he's her bestie, when she herself stated in the beginning of the show that she hasn't seen him since TAOM. Also back then M never hung out with her dancers, which was also confirmed when Anthony said that the first time he performed with MC, he only saw her for the first time when they had to hit the stage. Now she has the whole "ring drop" scene and then wearing the ring on her middle finger for the music video, almost falling off her hand. All of these are just extra. (Thursday 2 February 2017; 4:25)

Re: Promotion for the single (71,922) (71,936) by Special K from USA The last art cover they posted with just Mariah's face is absolutely stunning. I wish she would loose the hooker ho look. It's not cute. (Thursday 2 February 2017; 3:25)
