Don't mean to sound shallow but... (67,954) by Shezz from Pk Is it starting to look like Mariah's slimmer body time is getting over? We all know how her body yoyos. Those dinner pics in the jacket and white tank and some angles of the Toronto performance make her look bigger than usual around the mid section. I'm totally sounding like one of those people I hate but I was wondering if I was imagining things or others are seeing it too? Hopefully it's just the outfit and the angles and I'm just being silly. I want her to look her best for Divas and Beacon shows and most non lambs didn't even know she got so much fitter this year. I remember reading everywhere her weight loss was for her wedding. Now that that's not happening I hope she still stays healthy and fit and doesn't let go like she did in 2014. Not being overly critical or bashing her, just want her to look her best for her season.

Re: New pictures from the event (67,951) (67,953) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter My pleasure. Glad you enjoy them. (Friday 4 November 2016; 14:20)

Hamilton mix tape (67,952) by Todd from Melbourne, Australia Change of topic here, but I think Mariah missed a massive opportunity here. Lin Manuel Miranda has announced a Hamilton mix tape released December 4, and Kelly Clarkson, John Legend, Usher, Alicia Keys among others are all on it. Would have been amazing to scan that track list and see Mariah's name. She'd have killed Burn. She's one of the few celebrities that doesn't appear to have been. Maybe because there's some great female vocalists in it she gave it a skip in protest? (I kid, I kid.) (Friday 4 November 2016; 12:57)

Re: New pictures from the event (67,946) (67,951) by MusicfanJ from Germany I just want to say I appreciate that you share the pics Mimi L. Nice red dress, I hope the holiday season will show some "real" Mariah. I mean the lovely Christmas MC. (Friday 4 November 2016; 12:10)

Re: Article: Mariah to perform at "VH1 Divas Holiday" concert (67,937) (67,949) by darrian liu from taiwan We have to do this and at least get AIWFCIY into the top 10. Third week of December would be ideal for the streaming/ buying/ requesting frenzy to occur. (Friday 4 November 2016; 12:05)

Toronto (67,947) by darrian liu from taiwan Mariah sounded decent there. The voice is noticeably drier, frailer and raspier what we heard in Vegas, Beacon or SSFT. It's probably due to the break she had from performing but she needs to lay off the alcohol and "dates" with Tanaka and instead replace them with something more productive. She needs to up her work ethic, when it's promotion time she gotta stop the partying and train her vocals instead. I want her to sound optimal in her VH1 Divas and Beacon shows as well as other possible performances. By the way, who is excited about the carpool karaoke? I wonder when they would release the episode. (Friday 4 November 2016; 11:44)

New pictures from the event (67,946) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah with some due I don't know. Mariah getting confetti blasted at her on stage. Mariah's beauty pageant moment. Here is another picture of her on stage. This is a picture before she got dressed for the show. Last but certainly not the least, Mariah casually wearing her $10 million ring midway of her middle finger like she doesn't know that it's worth more than some people's lives haha. Like seriously why? Obsessed ring analyst post. (Friday 4 November 2016; 11:06)

Re: Forever (67,943) (67,945) by Dennis from The Netherlands It was the best. But the Rainbow, Charmbracelet en SSFT were also great. (Friday 4 November 2016; 10:40)

Re: Ladies and gentlemen, here's Stellar (67,940) (67,944) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Hahah saw that video before, but you made a nice connection with Nick. Everyone does it. Kevin Hart makes fun of his entire family, his ex, his kids, everyone. Stella is quite possibly divorced because she keeps saying that she has a lot of respect for single moms because she is one too. Hashtag "We Go Hard". (Friday 4 November 2016; 10:21)

Forever (67,943) by enwar00 from usa Comcast (cable) has a bunch of Mariah videos on-demand right now, and I just watched Forever. I hadn't seen it in years and years and years so was pleasantly surprised hearing its live version again. Did anyone here get to witness the Daydream tour live? I'm jealous, I wish she would have brought it to the U.S. Mariah really was amazing wasn't she, made it all seem so effortless. I remember the song being on the radio all the time, um, twenty years ago (gasp), she was so popular and loved back then. Such a pretty song. (Friday 4 November 2016; 7:54)

Re: VHI-1 divas (67,930) (67,942) by enwar00 from usa Nope. Probably too depressing. (Friday 4 November 2016; 7:10)

There Goes My Heart Again - Bill (67,941) by Licia from USA Ok Bill, I have listened to There Goes My Heart Again quite a few times sense we talked and I'm in love with it. Considering that this song is an unreleased track from my favorite album CB, I have no idea why I never truly paid attention to it. It's pretty darn awesome. I probably need to pull out all my Mariah tracks and see what gems I have passed over. (Friday 4 November 2016; 6:40)

Ladies and gentlemen, here's Stellar (67,940) by RibbonB from USA I found this on YouTube. I had heard she was a comedian at one time. She is or was married then and she looks very different. Granted she was pregnant at the time. It's funny for all the people who regularly dissed Nick for joking about his wife at the time, note this is all Stella is talking about, sex, her hubby, etc. etc. It is so common among comedians and here M. hires someone who did the same thing. I mentioned B. Sher, I guess he is just her business partner, but she may still be married last name Stolper. I am not trying to be mean, just thought I would share this.

Re: Clear up rumors (67,933) (67,939) by Lila from United States Here's to hoping. (Friday 4 November 2016; 3:56)

Re: Clear up rumors (67,932) (67,938) by Lila from United States I think the problem is that we're smart and Mariah's team is not lol. Therefore, we're straining our brains trying to figure out the end game but our brains can't go to their level of stupid to figure it out lol but basically "but of course they are only here for the free meals and vacations so who cares what Mariah does to her image". Lol. (Friday 4 November 2016; 3:56)

Article: Mariah to perform at "VH1 Divas Holiday" concert (67,937) by Betty from Canada Hi lambily on MCA. Many lambs on social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc) are in fact trying to help Mariah get AIWFCIY to become her 19th #1 on Hot 100 this year (peak #11 last year) because it would be such a historical feat to have a 22 year-old song achieve that chart position. So I am asking all the lambs in the land to help Mimi make it happen (by streaming, buying, requesting on radio, spreading the word, etc) to give MC and all the lambily the best Christmas present ever. (Friday 4 November 2016; 3:51)

Re: VH1 Divas (67,914) (67,936) by Malcolm from Asia She gotta have to do a duet with another female singer in that show because that's the essence of it. It's not nice if the other performers will be singing together while Mariah will be singing just by herself in the entire show. It's Mariah's time now, she's that "diva" like what they did with Aretha and Diana Ross so she must do what these legends did with them back in the day. (Friday 4 November 2016; 2:30)

Toronto (67,935) by Lila from United States So, apparently, Mariah sounds good. The dress, however. (Friday 4 November 2016; 2:24)

Re: Moral of the story (67,919) (67,934) by Lila from United States Everything you said 100%, great elaboration. This is the worst part though: "She lets her act a fool without judging her or reminding her of how her behavior might sabotage her brand. Instead she lets Mariah act as ridiculous as she wants and tries to spin the bad behavior into trashy press. Stella ultimately lets Mariah be the childish and petty person that no one else ever let her be throughout her career, and she makes her believe that there are no consequences because they can just use the foolishness for press." It's crazy and sad at the same time. (Friday 4 November 2016; 1:00)

Re: Clear up rumors (67,931) (67,933) by RibbonB from USA Her career choices are often wonky, but she was all in her own remaking during TEOM, she had a decent team, and made better choices, but she does tend to make knee jerk changes if she feels wronged vs. making thoughtful transitions. She rarely takes a break especially since E=MC2 until now. She had some gaps, but mostly she seemed to be working or marketing something. She barely took time off to have and raise her children. She just picked them up and on the road with them. She would never take a Sade like break or even an Adele break, lol. A lot of her vagabond nature seems to be a result of her own childhood. People often repeat their pasts, all the way down to divorcing while her children are young. Let's hope she can do what is right for her and her children's sake going forward. Stella "and them" ain't it IMO. (Friday 4 November 2016; 0:47)

Re: Clear up rumors (67,925) (67,932) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter What's worse is her team is doing absolutely nothing to get these rumors away. They are only adding fuel to the fire. I mean for example the Tanaka rumor. I don't have doubts anymore that her team planted the rumor but if suppose it was just this random rumor that TMZ was running, then shouldn't her team do something to stop the rumors because then it makes it look like maybe Mariah cheated which finally ended the relationship? Why risk her image for a fake relationship? So instead of getting rid of it they go out together every night and give credibility to the story. This will lead people to believe the other rumors TMZ is reporting, none of which is helping her image. Take for instance the ring moving drama and then saying "of course not it's mine" when asked about if she will return it. This again makes adds fuel to the rumors that she is indeed asking for the 50 million pay out. I just don't get how her PR team, management and her lawyers think this is a great idea. Even if Mariah decides to be childish, it is there job to step in and stop her but of course they are only here for the free meals and vacations so who cares what Mariah does to her image.

Re: Clear up rumors (67,915) (67,931) by Lila from United States "She keeps switching devils." That's a part of my point though. Yes I believe Tommy was a trip and a half but it's not about Tommy or his being evil. I'm talking about Mariah. For me, it's about questioning if Mariah, acting as her true self, and being able to be in full control, is able to make good decisions on a consistent basis in regards to her career, and that goes beyond her picking this single or being able to collaborate with rappers, and her personal life and be successful.

Re: VHI-1 divas (67,927) (67,930) by B from USA I hope she performs AIWFCIY, O Holy Night, and Joy To The World. I would love to hear her duet with Tori Kelly and Kelly Clarkson. I would have added Miss You Most but someone else already did. Does she perform it during her Christmas concerts at Beacon? (Thursday 3 November 2016; 22:33)

Article: Mariah to perform at "VH1 Divas Holiday" concert (67,929) by Musti from UK This is amazing. I wonder who the other divas will be. Regardless, it looks like they might be trying to push AIWFCIY up the chart this year. I hope they announce more promo soon. She needs to milk AIWFCIY to the max this year to make Sony happy. And of course to reach new peaks. I'm not sure whether her deal with Epic is 360, but even if it isn't they probably agreed to take a share of her tour earnings in the very least. Her recent recorded material isn't exactly selling and her back catalogue only sells once in a while. The only reason why Mariah made quite a bit of money since last year is because she did Vegas and SSFT to lucrative success. She needs to incentivize them to really spend on her next project i.e. the album. Especially if Epic doesn't get a share of her live earnings, she must (in capitals) bank with AIWFCIY to get a nice budget for her next album. (Thursday 3 November 2016; 22:18)

Re: Clear up rumors (67,918) (67,928) by RibbonB from USA She moved for Stella and the James story. They kind of go hand in hand. And I do believe Stella is married to Brian Sher. I think moving to LA was in order to do this whole reality thing. If M. is paying the bill, she can't well afford to put all of them up in NYC. Plus Brett and JP are LA based. I can see why she would want him to pay off the lease for sure. She might also feel she is owed because JP was in on things with Stella etc. from day one. She is supposedly or was a friend of his, and he vouched for her presence in their lives. Who knows maybe the whole thing is/was an act by all involved. I guess all will be revealed in December. Who knows how their Thanksgiving will be in Hawaii no less. (Thursday 3 November 2016; 21:52)
