Re: 90's music videos (65,299) (65,386) by B from USA I've got friends, lifelong friends, do you? Your opinions aren't facts, darling. (Wednesday 17 August 2016; 15:20)

Re: Relevant? (65,383) (65,385) by B from USA Mariah manages Mariah. However, these leaked moments are Stella's bread and butter. She always releases stories to TMZ before one of her series premieres. She didn't make Mariah relevant. Mariah back catalogue has kept her relevant. (Wednesday 17 August 2016; 15:05)

Re: Texting before "Faded" (65,381) (65,384) by B from USA Agreed. (Wednesday 17 August 2016; 15:02)

Re: Relevant? (65,379) (65,383) by RibbonB from USA Mariah has always been relevant. She had the Beacon shows before Stella, she was already doing Empire from season one, she has been getting her star on the walk of fame for years before Stellar and Christmas has always been her season, since AIWFCIY. Now will this reality show help her sell a record? That is yet to be determined. Even Nick said "Mariah manages Mariah". In his opinion. I asked months ago if M. is in command, or a commodity, seems like she is both, but with a lot of role players. This is one crazy play though. Lol. (Wednesday 17 August 2016; 13:55)

Re: New billboard (65,372) (65,382) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Hahahah the hand wrapped around the head is not random though, I mean there has to be a creative way to flaunt that legendary "biggest engagement ring in Hollywood". I would be flaunting it too. (Wednesday 17 August 2016; 13:22)

Re: Texting before "Faded" (65,359) (65,381) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter She should show some of the live footages I undubbed during the show or have a special additional episode of just the concert footage. She should go for undubbed footage because fans really praised her vocals during the show, so it must have been great. She sounded good as it is in low quality videos, she'll sound better in HQ. So ya just show them that she still has it. The reality show should definitely focus on her as a performer, a singer and a song writer. (Wednesday 17 August 2016; 12:45)

New music (65,380) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter It has been said that Mariah will sing new material in Vegas this time. Does anyone know how many shows she has during this leg? Because her Vegas shows start in a few days and that could mean we might get a new song sooner than we thought. Empire isn't until a month and half away and her Vegas shows are likely to be done by then. So if she is going to bring new songs to Vegas, are these the ones she wrote for Empire or for her next album? (Wednesday 17 August 2016; 12:42)

"Docuseries" will prove she can sing (65,379) by Sheila from United States Just watch, Stella is trying to Make Mariah relevant again. October 5th the [...] single, Christmas the Beacon shows, and December the series. (Wednesday 17 August 2016; 12:06)

Re: New billboard (65,372) (65,378) by Marissa from USA Thank you, I was trying to figure out what was making it look awkward. She does look beautiful though. (Wednesday 17 August 2016; 10:01)

Re: Emotions (65,366) (65,377) by darrian liu from taiwan It's even one of the hardest song to sing, ever. Lol. Tbh only Mariah could breathe life to Emotions, I think I've said it before in one of my posts. Other technically gifted singers maybe could hit the notes, but they just sound like shouting (i.e. Ariana Grande). Mariah makes Emotions the song it is and nobody else could touch her version. It's like how Whitney made I Will Always Love You the song it is and nobody could touch her version. Those are testaments to how ridiculously talented both singers are. (Wednesday 17 August 2016; 3:34)

Stacked vocals (65,376) by RibbonB from USA Mariah has really mastered the stacked, multi layered vocals and I do love them on record. She could learn from the O.G. stacked vocal diva herself, Miss Chaka Khan. Chaka was one of the first to do her own background vocals on record and she has some excellent examples from as far back as the seventies. But Chaka also had a keen ear for selecting some of the best background vocalists in the game who could support her on stage. Voices like Vesta, Angie Stone, Helen Baylor who are vocal power houses aptly supported her on her amazing songs and made Chaka one of the best acts to see live, when she wasn't high. Lol. I think Mariah shortchanges her material by using backing tracks and not arranging her songs for best use of BG vocalists on stage. I also think she uses far too many dancers etc. to get her songs accross. But she does what works for her. Most of the real singing divas don't use dancers. Chaka also had the advantage of starting out with a stellar band too though. (Wednesday 17 August 2016; 2:40)

Re: Emotions (65,370) (65,375) by B from USA Mariah has always layered her vocals, especially background vocals, which can't be replicated live. Which is why she uses a backing track and people think she just lips. I think she should removed the layered vocals for live performances. (Wednesday 17 August 2016; 2:30)

Re: Standards/classics (65,363) (65,374) by RibbonB from USA All of that sounds good to me. (Wednesday 17 August 2016; 2:29)

Re: Billboard photo (65,343) (65,373) by Licia from USA So this is the banned billboard? Totally not what I was expecting. I'm not shocked at all. The article made it seem like it was a porn ad. She looks strange on the face, but other than that I don't see what the issue is. This billboard is actually tame compared to alot of other pics she's put out. (Wednesday 17 August 2016; 1:58)

Re: New billboard (65,369) (65,372) by 123 from USA I love the new billboard cover. There are few times were she gets tastefully sexy right and she did just enough here. It looks like an album cover. Way better than the MIAM cover. Very Never Too Far single cover. Marissa, the uncomfortable feeling you get is because of the unnatural pose. No one lays with their hand wrapped around their head, that is, unless you are Mariah. I love Bette Midler's response to the billboard ban. Lol. She was on JP's boat with Mariah not to long ago. (Wednesday 17 August 2016; 1:56)

Re: Emotions (65,366) (65,370) by B from USA Mariah has some of the hardest songs to sing. Any song from Mariah Carey and Emotions are the hardest. The layered vocals also make her newer songs hard to sing. (Wednesday 17 August 2016; 1:11)

New billboard (65,369) by G.G. from USA I'm really sick of seeing her breasts. We get it, you have huge boobs. Show us what we really want to see, your immense talent. Titriah Carey (Wednesday 17 August 2016; 1:10)

Re: Billboard photo (65,358) (65,368) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The picture in itself isn't bad. Mariah has had racier ones. I mean her pregnancy shoot alone can put this to shame. The one with Nick grabbing her boobs haha. I think she looks good in it and they kept her normal size, didn't shrink her, which is good, but I don't find this relevant to her Vegas show. This is something I'd expect for a magazine shoot, a promo for her next album or whatever. I just don't see how this "advertises" her Vegas stint. She looks very much like "Glitter" era Mariah here. (Wednesday 17 August 2016; 0:55)

Re: May from Denmark (65,356) (65,367) by Giovanni from USA Exactly, the first and third ensembles would look great on her. I also still love that red dress she wore the night she had dinner with Jermaine. (Wednesday 17 August 2016; 0:07)

Emotions (65,366) by Giovanni from USA Is Mariah's hardest song to sing in my opinion. I try and keep up but end up winded and exhausted. I just can't do it lol. Not even Mariah herself can sing "Emotions" anymore and I can't blame her. It's vocal suicide. The whole "Emotions" album is an impressive piece of work. She was really ahead of herself as a songwriter and producer. I think with her current voice she could sing "The wind" and wow us all. (Tuesday 16 August 2016; 23:57)

Re: Billboard photo (65,343) is awesome (65,352) (65,365) by Mike from FL, USA I so agree. Baaaaaa 2x. (Tuesday 16 August 2016; 23:40)

Re: Texting before "Faded" (65,362) (65,364) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The mystery of the thief who pissed Mariah off intrigues me to this very day. I really want to do who did it and what the idea was and if they got a lot of success from it, like in the case of JLo. (Tuesday 16 August 2016; 23:36)

Re: Standards/classics (65,348) (65,363) by B from USA If and when she does a standards album I hope she covers R&B classics by Stevie Wonder, Bobby Womack, Aretha, Dionne Warwick, and Donny Hathaway. I also want a gospel album with traditional hymns and originals like FLAB and I Am Free. (Tuesday 16 August 2016; 23:32)

Re: Texting before "Faded" (65,351) (65,362) by B from USA Excellent point. I was just speculating. I hope if (when) she re-releases Mariah Carey she includes the demos and adds liner notes like she did for #1 To Infinty. (Tuesday 16 August 2016; 23:28)

Re: Me I Am Mariah (65,346) (65,361) by B from USA My bad. She cowrote lyrics with Diane Warren during the Rainbow sessions. CTTA (Mariah's Theme), After Tonight, and There For Me were written by Mariah and Warren. Those are three of her best ballads. I can't wait to hear the song they wrote together. I want lyrics like The Roof, Breakdown, Close My Eyes, and Underneath The Stars. Mariah's pen game is strong. She really doesn't need help with lyrics. (Tuesday 16 August 2016; 23:23)
