Re: Packer went beserk on dancer (67,582) (67,584) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Yes plus no one would be fine seeing their fiance give this same dancer a lap dance for no good reason. It's not like it was part of her routine. Why do it? I always felt like maybe it was a publicity move they were filming for the show. Then let's not forget those Snap-chat videos of all the private party grindings and this moment along with many other moments being leaked which had me, Licia and Marissa shook. Haha we were posting about how this doesn't affect James. What I don't get is why this is becoming an issue now. These happened months back. After that Mariah and James were seen together, she talked about him in interviews, she said how she's very happy. Then how did this burst all of a sudden. The timing is so weird.

More and more suspicious (67,583) by Marissa from USA So "Mariah's rep" has come out making statements that have me very suspicious of the authenticity of this "breakup". First of all, as private as Mariah has been about the reasons why (besides Tommy) all of her relationships have ended, why would she allow a rep to come out and say explicitly that a fight is at the root of their split? Why not go the "things just didn't work out" route like she always has done? If they are still trying to work things out, why even make a public statement instead of just waiting until everyone knows for sure what the outcome is going to be? People make announcements when they have official break-ups, not "breaks". We all know how many months of speculation we endured before it was ever confirmed that Nick and Mariah were getting divorced. Why would she suddenly feel so shook now to run out and address the media so quickly? The bottom line is as seen in the divorce scenario and Allison and Morgan betrayals, Mariah has never been the type of person who feels obligated to sprint to the media to clear her name whenever something comes out about her in the news. I'm starting to agree that this was a diversion tactic to distract from the SA tour cancellation as well as a foot in the door for more publicity so they can keep dragging this out until Mariah's World. Something ain't right and I want all of the tea, chai preferably, not earl grey. (Friday 28 October 2016; 9:01)

Packer went beserk on dancer (67,582) by 123 from USA No one would be ok with a back up dancer being around his fiance all the time. I kind of believe some of this, it makes the most sense. (Friday 28 October 2016; 7:50)

Mental state (67,581) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Boy oh boy, Stella better stop. All these "insider" talk about how James is mentally unstable, Stella dear you are going to ruin Mariah. If James really gets pissed, he'll go all out and make sure they shoot down every claim and maybe turn it on Mariah. So far the Packer team has kept it calm and just denied allegations. The moment they start firing back, jeez. Stella stop your immature self before you ruin Mariah. (Friday 28 October 2016; 6:23)

It's getting crazier (67,580) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So now TMZ is reporting openly about Bryan Tanaka. They are talking about how James was very suspicious about Mariah's relationship with Tanaka and even used his casino ties to get him banned from Caesar's. I'm sorry but this seems to be purely Stella's pathetic attempt at spinning the story but she is just playing with fire because James obviously will hit back with his professional PR team. All these should never have been public if Mariah really "feared" James. Plus why is this becoming an issue months after all those moments when we were having meltdowns here on MCA about Mariah being weird with Bryan. Also what I've feared is out, the lap dance video has resurfaced and it's only a matter of time before that gets blown up to. Has Mariah gotten completely nuts? Is she really going to allow Stella to get down and dirty about her personal life like this? When Nick and Mariah divorced, Mariah was very quiet about it. Until date she never said anything bad. When Tommy and Mariah divorced, she didn't start bashing him after years later. That too was done in a classy manner. This is getting so nasty, it will eventually explode on Mariah. (Friday 28 October 2016; 6:02)

Breakup (67,579) by THE TRUTH from USA Like that wedding was ever gonna happen. Cancellation of tour dates doesn't bode well either. Nice devil costume though. (Friday 28 October 2016; 4:07)

Working overtime (67,578) by Licia from USA They are really trying hard to cover up this tour mess. Now JP is unstable? Any who, the general public may forget after awhile, but the disappointed fans won't. I don't condone or agree with the things the fans are spewing at her, but they do have a right to be upset. By her and her team not acknowledging or ignoring this thinking refunds will be enough, the bashing will only get worse. (Friday 28 October 2016; 2:42)

E news (67,577) by RibbonB from USA Lol E news is spreading both the Bran Flake story and now the James is mentally unstable story. Supposedly James hasn't been mentally well for a while and has not been present for Mariah, so she had to let him go. So all in one day, James dumped her for over spending, and for rendezvousing with the help, or Mariah dumped him for doing something bad to her assistant, or for being mentally unstable and not present. Wow. What a sloppy mess this story has become. TMZ also has five or six versions of this "breakup". I won't be surprised if James and Mariah pose for Halloween and act like nothing has happened. Still a month to Mariah's World, if it does't get stalled. Yikes. (Friday 28 October 2016; 2:35)

Re: This is KickAss? (67,573) (67,576) by May from Denmark Being from South America I can tell you we are very much used to being stood up by mega stars. Mariah isn't the only one and she isn't the first one giving promoters drama as an excuse, it happens all too often, yes, promoters there suck and the major one that deals all is the same one in most countries down there, it's like a monopoly, it's also very unorganized, an usual complaint when big names come. Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Adele, Christina, Selena Gomez, a bunch of artists had cancelled South American tours, generally the excuses are the same "I hurt my knee", "my voice is wee", "the promoters scammed me". I just don't know if others fans are as aggressive as the lambs. The insults in Mariah's FB are outrageous. (Friday 28 October 2016; 1:52)

Re: Mariah's World (67,570) (67,575) by May from Denmark I feel that this whole split up announcement (as it has already been officially announced) came to light only to minimize the damage the tour cancelleation could create and is being used to divert the attention. According to what has been said, Mariah and James haven't been together for a month. As soon as the tour drama came up, the news about the split surfaced and it's the only thing the celeb news talk about. It only left Mariah's social media suffering the SA fans complaints and the news now just simply mention she "will be touring SA 2017" and move on. So my opinion is that this whole "they are seeing if they can make it work" might hint that they aren't really split, they will be fine with each other next month and the reality, sorry, "docu series" will happen as scheduled. I could be wrong of course haha. (Friday 28 October 2016; 1:28)

Re: Mariah's SHM-CD question / new "Greatest Hits" (67,572) (67,574) by Billy from Greece I meant to say, "I'm not an audiophile expert". Still, I am keen on finding out which is the best sounding version of a given CD. (Friday 28 October 2016; 1:27)

Re: This is KickAss? (67,571) (67,573) by Mara from United States Exactly. They absolutely deserve an explanation other than that little Twitter thing. Whatever you want to call it, and adding the dahhlings in there was not warm enough. A front page statement on her horribly updated website and a post to her Facebook page would be a start if she can't record a personal message. It really seems like perfect timing for this breakup news if you ask me. Also why they added they are broken up "for now". Take the focus off of this disaster until it dies down. Well the problem is fans don't forget. These people are heartbroken. (Friday 28 October 2016; 0:26)

Mariah's SHM-CD question / new "Greatest Hits" (67,572) by Billy from Greece Does anyone here have any SHM-CD versions of any Mariah albums? Is there a difference in audio quality? I'm an audiophile expert, but is there any point in getting, for instance, "Charmbracelet" in SHM format? For those unfamiliar with SHM, it corresponds to "Super High Material CD", meaning, better developed CDs, presumably with better sound too. Also, has anyone bought the new "Greatest Hits" digipack? (Friday 28 October 2016; 0:17)

Re: This is KickAss? (67,567) (67,571) by Licia from USA I'm very upset about what happened to the fans, but Mariah's people (not necessarily Mariah) are going to make sure that the news focuses on her breakup and not the tour fiasco. It's already started. I've said from the very beginning that those fans deserve an explanation. (Friday 28 October 2016; 0:05)

Mariah's World (67,570) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So James apparently doesn't want to be a part of the reality show. This could result in a delay or cancellation of the show if they have to edit out all his appearances, although he probably wasn't in it that much. What I want to know is what will happen with the wedding preparation moments? This whole show was supposed to be about her tour and wedding preparations, we even see her trying on gowns. Ugh does this mean we have another abandoned project coming up? (Thursday 27 October 2016; 23:23)

Re: This is KickAss? (67,567) (67,569) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter That is the worst album name ever. Clearly it should be "Chronicles of a Magical Unicorn". (Thursday 27 October 2016; 23:20)

Changing the topic... (67,568) by R&B Junkie from Poland ...for a while. Can anyone from Hungary explain me how come "Get Your Number" exploded to #17 on iTunes? Is it "National Get Your Number Download Day" or something? I know it's not that big market and sometimes in our territories some songs can land very high on charts all of a sudden, but still. (Thursday 27 October 2016; 22:59)

This is KickAss? (67,567) by Andrew from UK Little confused as to what James Packer had to gain from the alleged "publicity stunt". Surely, he doesn't need it. You could fabricate a hundred theories as to why he does but they wouldn't hold much water. Doesn't anybody feel sorry for the fans in South America who paid for flights and hotels which they probably won't get refunded back to them? For the fans who looked forward to it for ages only to be disappointed and not even get a genuine apology? Strange that the story is about Mariah getting dumped by somebody she was only ever going out with because of the fame and money associated with it. However, even *I* don't think Mariah has turned her *whole* life into a bullshit story to expose a little documentary and get it some viewers. What's more: there's little evidence to support such a theory. So let everyone rejoice that James is out of the picture and that Stella will (one can only imagine) probably be soon out of the picture and that Mariah will... well, Mariah will be on her own again with no new material and a heap shit of bad press and social media exploits that tarnishes her image further and ruins her legend. I don't agree with "no press is bad press". "Bad press", to me, would encapsulate being thought of as a person who used to sell records selling his or her reputation for some column inches. She needs to release a kickass party album soon in the new year. Ten tracks with attitude. Kill it. Put this nonsense behind her. In fact, she should call it that. "Mariah Carey - KickAss" or "Mariah Carey - This is KickAss". (Thursday 27 October 2016; 22:45)

Re: Article: Something bad happened in Greece (67,564) (67,566) by B from USA Mariah's most recent specials (Mariah's Merriest Christmas and At Home with MC) garnered four million viewers and if Mariah's World pulls half of will be a huge hit on E. On par with KUWTK. (Thursday 27 October 2016; 22:19)

Article: Something bad happened in Greece (67,565) by DreamLove from USA I don't know if I exactly believe this article or the article about them breaking up about money. I do not believe they broke up over money, they both have their own money. One thing about the relationship was that is was very good for her because she got better. She seemed happier and could sing much better than the post break up with Nick. I wonder if Stella had something to do with break up. I think Stella needs to be removed from her team, immediately. I wish Nick would finally sign off on the divorce and stop waiting for his pay day or situations to occur that could benefit him. Overall I hope Mariah really finds that happy stable relationship because these relationships seems to be important to her well being (as they are with most people). (Thursday 27 October 2016; 22:04)

Article: Something bad happened in Greece (67,564) by RibbonB from USA Lol still the same sources TMZ and Daily Mail. The pattern continues. Mariah was due back from vacation, so I doubt she left the boat because he did something bad. Like who dumped whom with these different scenarios our there. She had her Empire appearance etc. in October and James is trying not to get arrested in China and to have his 18 employees released and fight off corruption money laundering charges in China. They are getting cheap "breakup" attention, but I still say it won't generate big interest for this show. Non fans are just confused by her and all her hangers on. Fans are either happy or pissed, which doesn't really set the stage for a show with wide appeal. It just strikes me as desperate. Oh well, we have a serious election about to go down. That is enough of a fiasco on the world stage. Wishing dem babies the best in all of this. (Thursday 27 October 2016; 22:01)

Re: Stella (67,559) (67,563) by Mara from United States If Mariah doesn't get rid of her after this then she needs her head examined. This woman is toxic and I would like to see the Stella defenders come to her defense now. How totally inappropriate and unprofessional. Unless this is aimed at Mariah, she is supposed to be the manager of a woman, the legend, the brand Mariah Carey. This is not Tiny we are talking about here, no offense to Tiny. But come on. This is how you behave? This is classless behavior, especially when she knows all eyes are on MC right now with all these stories. There will be people checking out her Instagram for any kind of quotes and this is what she posts? Wow woman. I can't even right now. (Thursday 27 October 2016; 21:16)

Re: TMZ is reporting the split (67,547) (67,562) by RibbonB from USA I have been saying that this is one long sloppy business deal/stunt. Lol. People are also forgetting that M. is on camera dancing with Anthony and some chick. There are so many planted moments in an attempt to create drama. This is a Brett Ratner/Ratpac production IMO. Produced by Stellar the blush wielder. Lest we forget, Eddie Morales previously commented "let's hope the witch, or bitch or whatever he called Stella, doesn't sink the whole ship before M. relaunches her career". Sadly, M. may end up with whomever generates the most interest. A pitiful joke to play on herself and her children. Her fans are either applauding, or looking away in shame or at least out of respect for who she used to be, or could be if she drops the camouflage. (Thursday 27 October 2016; 21:09)

Re: Breakup / Mariah's World (67,550) (67,561) by Mara from United States If it is sparking an interest and it was done for that purpose, then I guess it is working. (Thursday 27 October 2016; 21:05)

TMZ / James and Mariah (67,560) by Mara from United States Ok so apparently this story keeps on growing. Now TMZ states that something big happened in Greece when they were all vacationing and James did something "bad" to Mariah's assistant, hence Stella, and Mariah left and went back to LA. Ok now I vaguely remember a tabloid story that Maraiah and James went to Greece to try and salvage their relationship. Makes me wonder who is feeding these stories to the tabloids and TMZ. They always say according to this inside source. I don't know about you, but if I were Mariah I would really start to think long and hard as to where all this so called inside info is coming from. She needs to look at her inner circle a little closer unless she is in on it as well. Makes you wonder if James was the one funding and behind the promoters for the South American tour and that is why it had to be pulled. Would make sense as why Mariah was quoted onTwitter saying she was very disappointed in the promoters and how her fans deserved better than that. It almost had a personal message to it to the promoters. But then it states that James and Mariah are done "for now" all very odd to me. Well now Mariah is free to spend Thanksgiving in Hawaii with BT. Still hoping this is not reality TV drama. (Thursday 27 October 2016; 21:03)
