Re: Mariah's World (68,433) (68,452) by Lila from United States Well an article from Gossip Cop did say "the superstar's team was banking on Mariah's World being a success, and the planning of her nuptials was seen to be a key part of it, particularly if the series was going to do well enough for a second season". The second season line has been bugging me for a while, especially. All this drama for an 8-episode docuseries? Sounded like they definitely were aiming for more than 8-episodes. Also, we'll see but I don't think James will be resurrected. Another article from Gossip Cop, from last week, had this to say from Mariah's rep: "The singer's relationship with Packer may not have worked out, but it certainly wasn't fake, and the assertion otherwise is absurd. Unfortunately, we have repeatedly had to call out In Touch for publishing lies about the singer." The relationship was still a sham. Mariah was only with him because he's a "billionaire" and he was only with her because she's an international best-selling singer. I do think she found out about the breakup when the rest of us did. Personally, I've never worried about the show being a hit. I think there are people who will watch Mariah for a multitude of reasons. I'm not even inherently against a reality tv show. I do worry about the real life ramifications and where this show will lead. I think you can have decent reality tv shows. Look at the Simmons family, regardless of their real life flaws and issues, Rev Run, Kimora, and Russell's shows were good but then, they were all family and business focused. Does Mariah really have enough good and legitimate things to follow to sustain an entire show? Off the top of my head, I'd say no. She could let us in on her album making process that would be nice. Not enough to sustain a show though. Touring? Honestly, I think it's stupid to wait until 46 and two small children, who need stability, to become a touring artist and I think that would become old quick. I hope she doesn't continue extensively touring. Business? Mariah has a tendency to start projects/businesses and let them fall to the way side, never to be heard of again. Nothing to follow there. If she stuck with something and let the cameras follow the process, that would be great. Charity is great but there's nothing to follow if she doesn't play an active role in contributing in some way, not just showing up. If there's nothing to follow but the manufactured drama, that means people may be tuning in but only because they think that she's messy. That also means even more messy drama would have to be manufactured to keep people interested. Those who do respect her, it will go down. And Lord help us if there's more than one season. I just can't. I just pray it won't turn into a big mess even though it feels and looks like it will. (Friday 18 November 2016; 15:14)

Re: Nick (68,450) (68,451) by Licia from USA Gee you completely missed the point trying to save Mariah from criticism. The original post was about Mariah being hurt if he has another baby on the way. Nobody is saying that Nick is innocent. What we are saying is that Mariah should not be upset over anything that he's doing because she's moved on. They haven't been together for a while now so if he's having more kids or has moved on to another woman, why would she be hurt? Why should either Nick or Mariah care what either is doing unless it involves their children? That was my point. (Friday 18 November 2016; 15:13)

Nick (68,450) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) While we all have made comments about Mariah as of late and for the most part comments have been negative which is granted by her actions have been questionable to say the least. Nick has been equally sloppy and trying to cover it up with his fake deep poetry, stupid turbans, and all his other nonsense. This baby thing is messy as he is having a baby with someone he has no interest on being with, also on another note in order for him to spend time with Roc and Roe Mariah has to pay the expenses yet he brags about his coins constantly. Also let's not forget he was seen around with various lady prospects since the breakup Nicole Murphy, Jessica White, Chilli who he refers to as his heart how convenient while having a baby with someone else. I say all that to say Nick is not angel and has been equally sloppy but try to cover it up with the political deep guy act don't be fooled people as we shall not be fooled when Mariah is out of pocket.

Re: Vanessa Williams (68,438) (68,449) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Thanks for the reminder about Vanessa's Christmas album. I would so love Sade to join the concert, but it would shock me if she did. She has always appeared very private. (Friday 18 November 2016; 14:12)

MW (68,448) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Even though I feel this does not do our girl any favors with the general public but time will certainly tell but looking at the trailer it shows how all these people and different elements make up Mariah's world. (Friday 18 November 2016; 13:58)

Mariah's world promo shots (68,447) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) I actually love the promo shots more than some shots her team has released as of late, as the promo shots look more like natural self. (Friday 18 November 2016; 13:54)

Being Mariah Carey (68,446) by RibbonB from USA Let's hope this series is not the "Being Bobby Brown" equivalent and thank God that reality show only lasted one year as Whitney refused to sign on for another year. Here is what one reviewer said of that show. One reviewer, Barry Garron, wrote that "Being Bobby Brown, the reality show spotlighting the R&B singer whose rap sheet might be longer than his catalog, is undoubtedly the most disgusting and execrable series ever to ooze its way onto television." Garron and other reviewers noted that the show contained remarks regarding sexuality and excretory functions, and Garron opined that the show robbed Whitney Houston "of any last shreds of dignity". Hopefully MW won't be this low brow, but it definitely seems intended to publicly shred Mariah's dignity. (Friday 18 November 2016; 13:06)

Re: Mariah's World (68,441) (68,445) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha I love that Oprah gif, so I'm just glad I could use it. That's my silver lining for all these drama. See when she said "docu-series" I was thinking more along the lines of the E Uncut for TEOM and "Mariah Around the World" type of situation. I honestly couldn't care less about Bryan being paid to have a crush story line, Stella trying (and failing) to be the next Kris Jenner, Mariah gulping pot brownies and the Bryan trying to take Mariah's measurements. But heck who cares about what I want. Lord I still can't believe they are having the "Stella firing someone" and "Maryanne going off on someone" moments in there. Then trying to tell me that this isn't a reality show like girl, bye. (Friday 18 November 2016; 13:03)

I gotta say the new trailer (68,444) by Edouard from France Looks very good to me. It looks well made/edited/produced and sounds interesting. It's very Mimi but at the same time it's not all about her. She looks cool I think. It really does sound interesting guys. (Friday 18 November 2016; 12:57)

Re: Vanessa Williams (68,438) (68,442) by RibbonB from USA Vanessa's voice is really nice. I say highly unlikely Sade rolls from out of her British rock to appear on Diva's Holiday. Lol I do hope they all sing well. (Friday 18 November 2016; 12:42)

Re: Mariah's World (68,439) (68,441) by RibbonB from USA Mariah said it will continue if people want to see it, otherwise she will have good footage for herself. So she seems committed to it as long as the money rolls in. Sounds like they have you hooked Mimi L. Girl get your life then. Lol I do believe that there have to be some surprises that are not being shown. They have built up the gossip and intrigue for those interested, but there has to be some mundane day to day parts and hopefully some more or morally redeeming parts for Mariah. (Friday 18 November 2016; 12:36)

Re: Nick (68,437) (68,440) by RibbonB from USA Exactly. At this point, Mariah should not be butt hurt about him moving on, since she has long ago. She has to be very childish if she is "acting out" based on him becoming a parent again, while she allegedly begged him to sign the papers so she could have a wedding. A new step-parent would have far more impact on their lives than a potential new sibling in their lives, who won't even be living with them. Mariah needs to do some internal work of her own instead of reality show therapy. (Friday 18 November 2016; 12:34)

Re: Mariah's World (68,433) (68,439) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter All the drama and all might bring in people who live for the drama. I'm still hoping that they used the "dramatic parts" to pull in the GP, while in the full episodes it has stuff that cater better to the lambs. For example - some studio sessions, pre-show ritual and all. E. obviously won't release something that won't get them ratings and the main viewers of E. are ones who love themselves some drama. About possible second season, it seems more and more likely. That would explain the bizarre over dramatic antics that are being pulled by Mariah and her team. Maybe they are still filming, who knows? And these are parts of the scripted reality show, yes let's not even call it a docu-series anymore. So many questions about what is going on, whether Mariah and Packer actually broke up, why is Mariah so uber close with Tanaka when they discuss he has a crush on her on the show, is Rocky eventually going to punch Tanaka and yell "Stay away from my mommy." Will Mishka get a spin-off after MW. Is MW going to be Mariah's new thing, as in is she going the reality show round for good? All these questions and I'm sitting here like (Friday 18 November 2016; 11:09)

Re: Vanessa Williams (68,406) (68,438) by Licia from USA I'm excited about Vanessa being added. Ribbon, Sade needs to be added to the roster as soon as possible. I actually need to send VH1 my list of people who need to be added. That list is long. Second thought they need to just let me take over period. Lol. (Friday 18 November 2016; 10:30)

Re: Nick (68,428) (68,437) by Licia from USA At this point her nor Nick should care about what either is doing as long as the kids aren't hurt. New baby or not he shouldn't care about how she's feeling. He has the right to move on just like she did. She paraded billionaire boy around for a year and got engaged while allegedly still married. She cared about no one else's feelings. Why is Nick somehow obligated to care about hers? I could see if he got someone pregnant while they were still together. (Friday 18 November 2016; 10:22)

Mariah's newest AIWFCIY performances (68,435) by darrian liu from taiwan To be frank, I am disappointed with her performances in Toronto and the ABC special. The ABC special isn't released yet but from the raw video, it sounds like either she lipped the whole thing or she sang live but was overpowered by the backing track. I wish she would show off her vocal improvements, because both performances in Toronto and the special aren't showing it. On second thought, after watching the mic feed of Toronto, I think Toronto sounds pretty good. (Friday 18 November 2016; 8:52)

Commercial success (68,434) by Malcolm from Asia How amazing is that, Mariah, Whitney, Celine have consecutive #1 hits for 32 weeks. But of course Mariah was the only one who had multiple #1's (Fantasy, One Sweet Day and Always Be My Baby) in that 32 week run. Ugh I wish I'm much older when that happened, I really envy those older lambs who had really witness the phenomenal success of Mariah in the 90's. It's my pleasure to hear some of your amazing stories and experiences from that decade. (Friday 18 November 2016; 6:22)

Mariah's World (68,433) by Mara from United States Well, I gotta admit, despite the downright reality show that it is, I believe this will be a hit and draw in the viewers. We have a name as big as Mariah Carey and the Kardashian formula, what more can the public ask for? I think the fact that Mariah has the final say in the editing, she will not let herself be a complete mess despite how much we cringe at the fact that it's the comeplete Kardashian formula. Also, the telling word in the promotion of this latest trailer is "this season on Mariah's World" sure makes it sound like it's more than 8 episodes and will end on a cliffhanger to make its way to come back. Could be why she still has the ring on and why they initially said James and Mariah may still end up together. I sure do think that Mariah is more of a couple with Tananka than she ever was with James Packer. Wow, what is real and what is scripted? Never thought I would say that about Mariah, but here we are.

Disney (68,431) by Mara from United States Oh Mariah. All I can say is when she gets it right, she gets it right. I don't know what she did different with her makeup, but it was very Butterfly with the smokey eye and her eyebrows. I loved how she looked. Always loved her retro look in The Roof video and cannot express enough how I love her eye makeup in it. Her look was close to how much I love that look. Old Hollywood and classy timeless Hollywood legend glam was all out for that special. So glad she pulled that off especially since she will be aired on Thanksgiving and Christmas. That dress was pure class and oozed what she is, which is a young living legend. Yes, Mariah, you can accept that since you came into the business so young, that you became a legend younger than most. There is nothing to not be proud of with that fact. I love this look on he and hope it's back for the Beacon shows. I don't know what it is about the Christmas season, but Mariah always usually keeps it classic for this time of year. Perhaps it's due to AIWFCIY being a timeless modern day standard. Big improvement from the pink prom gown we got from Toronto. I love when she dresses in a way where the haters in Hollywood aka JLo and then some can't say a damn word about her. She is a force to be reckoned with and when she is on point there is nothing they can pick apart on her. (Friday 18 November 2016; 3:50)

Nick (68,428) by Mara from United States So Nick apparently is going to have a new baby with an ex girlfriend. She is 6 months along. I can't help but think how this is making Mariah feel. It's one thing to see someone move on and I'm not even going to say Nick had to see Mariah move on because I always felt Packer was Mariah showing Nick she can reach him with a billionaire. It's another thing to know your two babies are going to have a new sibling with a different mommie. knowing how emotional MC is, maybe this is another reason she is parading Tanaka around in addition to the show.

Next there is a Bianca candid 1, and then candid 2. Behind the scenes photo. Mariah onstage photo 1, Mariah on stage photo 2. (Friday 18 November 2016; 2:57)

Re: Music (68,420) (68,426) by RibbonB from USA Seems like now she just cares about the money and having her name in the press. I could swear that she said "I am just going to have some fun and make some money" shortly after she started "dating" the "billionaire". I wish I could remember what interview that was from, but I recall that from around that time period. If I recall correctly, then I guess her idea of fun is very different that many might have imagined. (Friday 18 November 2016; 2:11)
