Re: Inside edition (65,800) (65,805) by RibbonB from USA It's very sad that she is estranged from her family and I've been wondering about her mom for over a year now. I've known people like Alison, who seem to stay in crisis and I suspect that if Mariah took care of her personally Alison would still not be happy, she would still be vindictive and petty towards Mariah. Her upbringing seems very sad, living with the dad and getting into "trouble" at a young age. She seems bitter towards Mariah on some of those YouTube videos. M. can't compensate for what their mother did or didn't do and it seems like A. wants to sort of punish M. instead of doing her own thing. The addictions don't help. (Friday 2 September 2016; 1:29)

Re: Michael Jackson cover (65,799) (65,804) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I have been wanting her to cover "You Are Not Alone" for ever. Another one would be "Will You Be There" or "Speechless". I also really love the song "Butterflies" and MC loves it too, so that would be nice too. (Friday 2 September 2016; 1:23)

Re: Michael Jackson cover (65,799) (65,802) by RibbonB from USA I said she has already done a cover of "Ill be there" the other songs are good, meaning she has already done one Michael song, even though the Jacksons were involved, lol. (Friday 2 September 2016; 1:18)

Mariah should cover "Never can say goodbye" (65,801) by Sheila from United States By MJ, that would be so beautiful. (Friday 2 September 2016; 1:16)

Inside edition (65,800) by Randy from USA I don't know. I mean one part of me thinks "I'm glad MC isn't Jesus. Because all of us need forgiveness. Especially, our family members." The other part of me thinks "Where is the line drawn between help and enabling?" This was the lead story on Inside Edition and not everybody watches that or takes it seriously but it is out there and will be added on to this "diva carrying her own lighting not being relatable foolishness".' And I wonder if she will ever address it and how terrible it is to be estranged from both siblings. And where is Pat? (Friday 2 September 2016; 1:12)

Re: Michael Jackson cover (65,796) (65,799) by Giovanni from USA I put down "Got to be there", not "I'll be there". They are two different songs. (Friday 2 September 2016; 1:07)

Article: Mariah Carey's brother says she abandoned family (65,798) by RibbonB from USA Sounds like Morgan wants Mariah to do more than he is willing to do. Why didn't he coordinate a trust when she had her inheritance or all the money Mariah has given her. Alison has medicaid and other means to cover her medical care, but if she won't stay in treatment or if she is addicted to sex and danger, she can never be helped. Besides, she has grown children who have the means to help her if they so desire. Alison needs to first help herself and stop trying to pull Mariah into the mire. Mariah does seem to be about self-preservation, which is understandable when it is hard for her to trust anyone. (Friday 2 September 2016; 0:47)

Re: Michael Jackson cover (65,796) (65,797) by RibbonB from USA Well my bad, I sometimes rush when on my tablet vs. laptop. (Friday 2 September 2016; 0:39)

Re: Michael Jackson cover (65,794) (65,796) by RibbonB from USA Not sure what I did wrong, but I was trying to say that "Human Nature" would be great to cover and that she has already done "I'll Be There". [Webmaster: Names should start with a capital, so it's Bobby McFerrin and not bobby mcferrin. The same with songtitles. It's Human Nature or "Human nature" and not human nature.] (Friday 2 September 2016; 0:02)

Re: The Emancipation Of Mimi evokes feelings of nostalgia (65,770) (65,795) by RibbonB from USA I don't understand why she spent that much money on a video for such a wack track. I think she was counting on Pharrell being at his peak then, or she thought it was good enough. The label was smart to put her back in studio with Jermaine, especially for the topper [...]. Pharrell got lucky with [...], a fluke like the old [...] by [...] from back in the day. Somehow I doubt if happy could have been sent back in time those ten years before, that MC would not have agreed to do it, but we will never know. (Thursday 1 September 2016; 23:47)

Re: Michael Jackson cover (65,790) (65,794) by RibbonB from USA She has done [...], but those are good songs. [...] might be difficult though. A revamped [...] would be killer. (Thursday 1 September 2016; 23:27)

Re: Boobies and butts and turbans era (65,772) (65,793) by RibbonB from USA That's one way to interpret it. I saw it as she may have been a little over the top difficult. I saw it as a statement of shade on both of them. Marriage is communication and commitment of both parties. But yeah he may not have known what to do with someone like her, but now she has become someone unlike she was. That will be difficult for anyone. But anyway. (Thursday 1 September 2016; 22:53)

Re: Will Mariah extend her Vegas residency? (65,786) (65,792) by B from USA I hope so. If not I hope she continues touring or has James build her her own casino. (Thursday 1 September 2016; 22:52)

Re: Mariah and Jazz (65,787) (65,791) by Edouard from France "Do you think of me" is very rooted in jazz when you think about it. Okay, it is more RnB/Pop but the vocals are very jazzy as well as the horns in the bridge (Thursday 1 September 2016; 22:25)

Michael Jackson cover (65,790) by Giovanni from USA I hope before Mariah retires she does a song cover from Michael Jackson. I've always thought she would have killed "Got to be there" and "Man in the mirror". She definitely should cover "You are not alone". (Thursday 1 September 2016; 22:12)

Re: Will Mariah extend her Vegas residency? (65,786) (65,789) by Giovanni from USA I hope not. I'm so over Vegas and her touring. I'm ready for new music and a kick ass era. "The Emancipation Of Mimi" part 2. (Thursday 1 September 2016; 22:07)

Re: (65,784) (65,788) by Giovanni from USA A porn star. (Thursday 1 September 2016; 22:03)

Re: Mariah and Jazz (65,779) (65,787) by Edouard from France How about "There goes my heart"? (Thursday 1 September 2016; 21:44)

Will Mariah extend her Vegas residency? (65,786) by Mirage from Unicornatopia Does anyone think Mariah will extend her Vegas residency? It would be great if she did, perhaps with a new show and single to accompany it. Vegas has done a lot to improve the public's perception of her talent, and her ability to perform. She is more natural on stage than she has been in some time. She also displays more show-womanship. It's good to see the voice do better too. Vegas has forced her to take care of the voice, I suspect. It is not at 90s quality, but credit where it is due, it is much better. (Thursday 1 September 2016; 21:14)

Re: Mariah and Jazz (65,779) (65,785) by MusicfanJ from Germany Number one: Definitely "The wind" this song is pure jazz. "If it's over" and "Subtle Invitation" are although very jazz influenced. (Thursday 1 September 2016; 21:09)

(65,784) by Haiji Toro from USA For the fans/lambs that would love to see MC really acting in a movie, what would be the role/character that you would want her playing? I'd want to see her play a drug addict. (Thursday 1 September 2016; 20:37)

Re: Mariah and Jazz (65,779) (65,783) by Haiji Toro from USA I believe she has a few jazz influenced songs, but the main one that stands out for me would be "Subtle Invitation", which is one of my favorites off that album. (Thursday 1 September 2016; 20:32)

Re: Mariah Carey fala de Ariana Grande, Lady Gaga, Mad (65,776) (65,782) by Haiji Toro from USA That was a nice interview, thank you. I like that she didn't shade anyone and still kept it real, especially with Madonna. I enjoy both of their music in different ways and it's good to hear that she respects and recognizes what Madonna has done for music. If you know where I can find an interview with Madonna saying good things about her as well, I'd love to see that too. (Thursday 1 September 2016; 20:29)

Re: Vegas has made Mariah a better performer (65,775) (65,781) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Thank you RJJ12, for always posting good videos. I really appreciate them and it's pretty obvious she's singing My All. I'm happy she still performs. I'm all about the music. As for the image she projects, honestly I think there's a big difference between accepting what is when you have zero influence on something. Lol. That's not an excuse. You can't "intervention" anything when there isn't a desire for it. It doesn't work. It is what it it. When I think of the pressure she must feel and the call for love that I know is underneath the external stuff, I feel compassion not judgement. *shrug* (Thursday 1 September 2016; 20:24)

Mariah and Jazz (65,780) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) The Wind from Emotions. (Thursday 1 September 2016; 19:26)
