Re: Mariah's Wack World (68,322) (68,323) by RibbonB from USA Unfortunately it may take all of those things you mentioned because she is turning off a lot of the people who would have watched it, her fans. But she is all in, so best wishes to her children. I don't give two sticks about Stella and crew. I have said from the beginning that I think this show is a terrible idea, but she is trolling like Trump and she will have to go through with it. I hope it will be far shorter than four years though. I hope for great music sometime in the future. (Tuesday 15 November 2016; 0:05)

Mariah's World (68,322) by Luke from United Kingdom Lets be honest, in this day and age people aren't going to watch a show about Mariah unless there is drama and she knows it. Hopefully it's just a dash of drama at the minute to get people talking. I'm thinking this might lead to an album next year some time. I'll be happy as long as she doesn't have a sex tape leaked, doesn't get married and divorced within a month, has a child and calls it South or gets butt implants which could pass as a side table and declares it as "natural".

Re: Christmas compilations (68,306) (68,321) by Bill from the UK I don't know if it still applies, but in the original Sony days, Mariah never appeared on any compilation albums. It was not unusual for many of the big name artists to not be on compilations, it was a technique to encourage album sales. Also, if the compilation is not by Sony, then I imagine it would be quite expensive for another record company to license such a popular song. (Monday 14 November 2016; 22:53)

Re: New promo for France (68,300) (68,320) by Lila from United States Speechless. (Monday 14 November 2016; 19:57)

Re: New promo for France (68,300) (68,319) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada I don't really look at the publicity machine tactics as solely a Mariah issue. We make up society. We get to choose whether to engage or not in these types of games, and until we decide we've had enough of this kind of approach and look deeper, it's going to keep happening. We can't just sit and blame or judge the people who feel pressured to compete in the arena, or who feel there is something to gain out of it. (Monday 14 November 2016; 18:44)

New promo for France (68,318) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Oh, honey. Now it's like she's deliberately doing this just to piss us off. (Monday 14 November 2016; 15:36)

Re: Christmas compilations (68,306) (68,317) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Wrapped In Red is golden. Especially that title track. So lovely. And Michael Buble's Christmas album may potentially outsell Mariah's first Christmas offering if it keeps selling the way it does. Jazz-pop fanbases are very loyal. (Monday 14 November 2016; 15:31)

Re: New promo for France (68,311) (68,316) by Edouard from France I meant "she's no cookie-cutter type of girl nor is she the opposite as some of us tend to want her to be". Let her be Mariah. That's how we fell in love with her after all. (Monday 14 November 2016; 14:24)

Re: When will it get back to the music? (68,313) (68,315) by G.G. from USA Agreed. I checked out when all the drama with the Packer breakup was happening. I have no interest in this crap. For someone who has repeatedly dogged reality tv shows, Mariah's life has turned into one. Congratulations, I guess ? (Monday 14 November 2016; 13:00)

Billboard streaming rule (68,314) by Malcolm from Asia So Alicia Keys' new album debuts at No. 2 with 50,000 units, 42,000 in traditional album sales. (And there's no propaganda that "Alicia Keys' album flopped" or something from the media). Just so unfair in Mariah's part considering that she had much higher sales (59,000). Thing is, that rule were implemented in December 2014, basically MIAM didn't benefit from that change. If that rule were just debuted earlier, I think MIAM will debut somewhere in 70-90k units and it could reach No. 2 behind Coldplay's album. (Monday 14 November 2016; 12:44)

When will it get back to the music? (68,313) by Sheila from United States I'm so bored with Packer, her outfits, her wigs, her drama. When will it get back to the music, the lyrics, the notes, the heartbreaking ballads? [...] I miss it being about the music. (Monday 14 November 2016; 11:49)

Re: New promo for France (68,300) (68,311) by Edouard from France I think it's quite okay. 8.55 p.m on a Friday night is good. It's [...] be a global event and I'm quite excited. I believe the trailer is super misleading on purpose just to create a buzz. At the end of the day Mariah is Mariah. She ain't [..] change who she is: she ain't no cookie-cutter type of girl, nor is she the opposite as some of us tend to say. (Monday 14 November 2016; 10:30)

Re: New promo for France (68,300) (68,310) by RibbonB from USA Too messy. (Monday 14 November 2016; 8:38)

Re: Article: Mariah's ex James to blast her in "tell-all" book? (68,304) (68,309) by Mara from United States Completely understand and agree with you RibbonB. (Monday 14 November 2016; 4:13)

Re: New promo for France (68,300) (68,308) by IfWeeeeee from Over There Mariah on Bryan: "He has a huge crush on me." Remember Nick? This woman never learns. (Monday 14 November 2016; 3:57)

Re: New promo for France (68,300) (68,307) by Licia from USA After seeing that I'm 100% sure I'm not going to watch. Just call her Mariah Kardashian. Lol. (Monday 14 November 2016; 3:01)

Christmas compilations (68,306) by Todd from Melbourne, Australia Has anybody else noticed that Mariah's "All I Want for Christmas" (or any other of her Christmas songs for that matter) is very rarely on any of these "Best Christmas Songs of All Time" type collections that get released every year? It's arguably the most successful Christmas song of all time, so I often wonder why it doesn't get included. Whether it's Mariah's call, thinking that it will drive people to purchase her album/single, or if it's the industry that deliberately avoid her music? On the subject of Christmas music - I've recently discovered Kelly Clarkson's "Wrapped in Red", and it easily join's Mariah and Buble's offerings in my opinion. (Monday 14 November 2016; 2:47)

Hilarious tweet (68,305) by RibbonB from USA This made me laugh. I hope the link comes out right. This guy used pics of Mariah: Me before November 8, and after November 8th. (Monday 14 November 2016; 0:30)

Re: Article: Mariah's ex James to blast her in "tell-all" book? (68,302) (68,304) by RibbonB from USA But when I say have them around men so publicly and quickly, I am speaking for what is proven wise for most women, not just M. But she is no exception with or without so many handlers around. I hate to read the stories about women getting caught up in money, or worst being hard up for money and making snap decisions without proper regard for their sake let alone their children. I am just speaking in general to that point. (Monday 14 November 2016; 0:21)

Re: Yeah, imperfect script (68,302) (68,303) by RibbonB from USA On to the next chapter. I hope the holidays will be more about her time with her children. I'm sure JP will pop up with his usual thin brunette "model" type for the holidays. Hope no petty run ins in Aspen. Lol. (Monday 14 November 2016; 0:18)

Re: Article: Mariah's ex James to blast her in "tell-all" book? (68,284) (68,302) by Mara from United States 100% agree to a point. I think those kids were exposed to him too quickly but it's not my place to go into that. I think it was all OK in the beginning that you wouldn't see any interaction with James and the twins, but then when we fast forward to even this August, to not see any kind of interaction when this man is going to be your husband and stepfather to your children, it was kind of awkward to me and that is what would give me ideas it wasn't a real relationship. Who knows, the are a lot of holes in this story and Lila hit the nail on the head. You never once saw these two and or their families interact without a full production. You never saw them quietly alone or spending time that really happened to be caught on film. It all seemed so staged. (Sunday 13 November 2016; 23:31)

New promo for France (68,300) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Here is a new promo for MW for French TV. All the footage here is new and we didn't see them before. Forever laughing at "Mariah Carey was so upset she threw her diamonds against the wall". Ok so here is the longer/full version of the promo. Features scenes of Mariah with a shirtless Bryan and her sitting on Bryan's lap or at least it looks like that. (Sunday 13 November 2016; 22:07)

New pictures (68,299) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) The latest pictures of Mariah with her black one piece outfit shows a more relaxed calm look than in recent weeks. I also see the VOL reference that some of you guys mentioned. (Sunday 13 November 2016; 21:33)

Worst gossip site ever (68,298) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines I know there are a lot of them and that they all have the same M.O., but CelebDirtyLaundry is just the worst, period. Not only does it live up to its name - it manufactures its own dirty laundry. Here are some of the most recent laughable headlines it's published about Mariah (copied verbatim): Mariah Carey says she dumped violent and unstable James Packer: Packer denies claims Mariah Carey wedding: planning to marry billionaire boyfriend James Packer after dating for just two weeks? Mariah Carey pregnant with James Packer's baby: Nick Cannon divorce still not official Mariah Carey dramatic weight loss: exercising and diet or gastric bypass surgery like boyfriend James Packer? Mariah Carey postpones wedding to James Packer: Nick Cannon won't let her get married. Mariah Carey's wedding is cancelled: Nick Cannon continues to stall divorce, James Packer moving on? Mariah Carey assures world that James Packer wedding still on: it takes time Mariah Carey traumatized over James Packer Split: singer comforted by new lover and back up dancer Brian Taneka? I mean, seriously, this site makes TMZ look like CNN, and CNN today isn't even half as trusted as it was over a decade ago. Hilarious. (Sunday 13 November 2016; 19:48)

Re: Article: Mariah's ex James to blast her in "tell-all" book? (68,288) (68,295) by Lila from United States Well I wish I could've been around to tell you that you were not alone lol. James ex-wife has been pictured with her boyfriend, Seal, and the pair's kids and she's been pictured alone with just her kids, just doing family things. It always seemed low key so I don't think they were calling the paps, they were just out and about moments happening to be caught. There was one article, with pics, where she and Seal had taken their kids to watch Seal's kids play soccer. That's why I think it's weird. How can his ex-wife, Erica, be seen out with the kids, alone, but he never is, especially in LA of all places. If he and Mariah were in a real relationship, then why no real moments outside of the PR pap strolls? Even if they weren't caught by the paps, I think at some point a bystander would've gotten a pic of them taking the kids to one fun activity or another if there were any. We got nada. It's all weird.
