It's official (65,123) by Natalia from Italy This relationship is a sham. If you need your own luxury yacht for you and your children, and his boat (which is huge by the way) is not enough for you, then you are obviously not in love with this man. You may be in love with his life style and status, but there is no real chemistry there. Why in the world would you marry and expose your children to a man that you do not truly love. It's unhealthy, and quite telling. (Wednesday 10 August 2016; 16:23)

Re: Empire single October 5 (65,109) (65,122) by B from USA I'm looking forward to Mariah's Empire appearances and single. (Wednesday 10 August 2016; 16:10)

Re: Company (65,120) (65,121) by Licia from USA I am at work so I didn't get to watch the interview. So you mean to tell me her and the kids are on a separate yacht than her soon to be husband? You have got to be exaggerating. She already treats that man like he's her first cousin. Now he can't even ride on the same yacht with her? Lol. (Wednesday 10 August 2016; 14:00)

Company (65,120) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter While initially I was rooting for Mariah that she bounced back from Nick and got herself someone who is more like her, some who likes privacy and is more age appropriate, I am beginning to think this is probably the weirdest alliance. First of all we have all talked about how it feels like this whole relationship is about business and image. Watching the E interview, where they talk about having "his and her yachts", I was like why? I mean I get it that it's glamorous and all but why do you need 2 different yachts? So for those who didn't watch it, James has his Arctic P, which is the 7th largest in the world apparently (so it must be pretty darn big), if I'm not mistaken, that's his family yacht. I assumed Mariah was on the same yacht too, but apparently Mariah hired another, much smaller yacht, where she stays with her kids and her entourage maybe. No, this isn't some "independent woman" so she doesn't need Packer's yacht situation. This is a person you are supposedly marrying by this year, why on earth will you be staying in 2 different yachts when you are going to the same locations? (Basically the yachts follow each other.) That's messed up. Then she apparently left Nick because of his loud mouth and she has time and again expressed her displeasure explicitly about how she does not like that Nick is so public about all their personal stuff. Yet now Mariah is basically living on leaking stories to TMZ no less. All the private awkward kissing photos, the drunk dancing where there is no way anyone outside her team could have filmed it and so much more. If Mariah wanted her privacy, she could have had it. Brad and Angelina are 2 of the biggest celebs in the world, yet no one knows what goes on inside their house. We only get to see them when they are out in public. So people can save the "oh she's famous, paparazzi somehow always manages to get her private photos" can save that argument. I won't even start with the Bulochnikov drama, I've already said a lot about that, and it deserves a post of its own. There is something weird going on in Mariah's camp, and Mariah is somehow fine with it. (Wednesday 10 August 2016; 13:04)

Re: Pettiness: in reverse (65,116) (65,118) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Thank you. Exactly. Like when did "diva extraordinaire" or "queen of shade" ever spell "approachable"? I know this labeling thing is quite high school-ish, but whatever walk of life you're from or age you are, these are labels that will never ever be responded to positively. I guess we could say shame on the media for perpetuating these labels, but at 26 years in the game, let's be honest - the bigger shame is on Mariah for acting the way she did, especially knowing how the media would take it. Now we can all make excuses for her about how she's free to live her life, how she's somehow "earned" the right to act that way (I know I did before - a lot), but it has come to a point where she's finally at a better place in her life, 2013-14 has long passed. If she still can't succeed now, then it not only speaks of how real ageism is or how brutal this game has become, but also how much she has lost touch with what really matters - her connection to her fans. I know she still appreciates us deeply, and her ways of expressing it has changed (and lessened) over the years, but I hope, I really do hope she also gets to see how much of a struggle it is for us fans to defend her constantly. And no, don't even bother with the "nobody asked you to stand up for her" argument - we're fans, dammit. And we still hurt when we see her hurt, even if the pain happens to be self-inflicted. And no matter how much we criticize her or even make public declarations of how we've "given up" on her, the truth is, we know deep inside that we'll still be the last people out there fighting tooth and nail for her, because that's what a true fan does. Deny as we may, there's a bit of an Andrew in all of us - maybe not as brutally frank - but he's in there. Seemingly overflowing with haterade, but silently die hard.

Re: Mariah and Pavarotti (65,113) (65,117) by Musti from UK I'm not really a fan of this performance. Although Mariah sounded amazing, I don't think Hero was a good song for Pavarotti. Or perhaps they could have arranged his part better. Especially when they start singing together, it just sounds like a whole bunch of noise. In any event I'm very glad they sang together. Pavarotti had long wanted to sing with her when the rest of the opera world did not even want to acknowledge her for her technique. (Wednesday 10 August 2016; 11:29)

Re: Pettiness: in reverse (65,114) (65,116) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Why would anyone think she is hiding something when she has answered the same thing before and made her feelings very clear? We know how she feels about AI, we know how she feels about JLo. There is no need to re-flavor the shade again and again. Just be diplomatic. Mariah has gone from being the girl with the golden voice to being known as the "diva extraordinaire" and "queen of shade". Both makes it hard for people outside her fan base to relate to her and then when she releases something and it tanks, fans will again blame everyone but her. The label sabotaged her, JD sabotaged her, Tommy Motolla somehow still sabotaged her in 2014. The list goes on. Mariah isn't always blameless. (Wednesday 10 August 2016; 10:22)

Re: Pettiness: in reverse (65,114) (65,115) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands Dream on. (Wednesday 10 August 2016; 10:00)

Re: Pettiness: in reverse (65,088) (65,114) by Laury from Spain Well [...]. Your opinion and the opinion of the people agreing with you is wrong and so [censored]. Mariah is honest and if she didn't reply you would say she is shady or hiding something. Either way she loses. Mariah is fine. Don't worry. (Wednesday 10 August 2016; 3:53)

Re: Mariah and Pavarotti (65,104) (65,113) by Giovanni from USA This is so ironic that someone would post about Mariah and Pavarotti because I had just recently watched their performance of "Hero". I had never seen it before. Mariah looked stunning and in my opinion out shined Luciano. Even though Luciano was louder and powerful Mariah held her own. However in the "We are the world" performance I was disappointed because she was on mute the whole entire performance. I would have been killing those singers with my high notes and whistle notes. Especially Laura Pausini. I can't stand her [censored]. Mariah needed to step up. (Tuesday 9 August 2016; 20:54)

Re: My goodness (65,095) (65,112) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Yes, and recognizing Mariah is human, accepting that right now, is not making excuses or wearing rose colored glasses. That tends to get really twisted. You know? Like if you have compassion for where somebody is at, it means you are being delusional. That to me is not accurate. We all have issues that come up. Could she make changes, yes, sure, absolutely, but I'm going to focus on my own life. (Tuesday 9 August 2016; 20:36)

Opening act in Brazil (65,111) by Carlos from Brazil It was announced that the opening act for Mariah's SSFT is the band Il Volo. We speculated it could be John Legend or Plácido Domingo. It was a bit of a let down. (Tuesday 9 August 2016; 19:29)

Thoughts (65,110) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Did you guys watch the first part of Mariah's interview with ET on her yacht? The interviewer asks her about The Weeknd and says that she would like to see a collaboration between the two happen, and Mariah said "I would like to see that too, I love his work." So maybe she did work with him because she did say that she approached some people she hasn't worked with and that those are people that her fans have been wanting her to work with. I hope it's true, a nice sexy jam. Of course this can be the whole MC-Bey situation all over again. Ok next thought, my hope from Empire is that Mariah loosens up and isn't as stiff infront of the camera as she was during "A Christmas Melody". You could tell she was so aware of the camera, at certain parts I almost expected her to break the fourth wall. Lee usually gets good shots out of Mariah so that's that. In the middle I was done with the idea of her being on Empire, but now that she is doing it, I hope it's a small story arc and she has a substantial role like say Jennifer Hudson's or something and not like Estelle's, who was just a decorative guest star. Although I loved the "Conqueror" duet. As much as I think Jussie is cute, I think it would have been more fun if Lucious was the one collaborating with Kitty. He's my favorite.

Re: Empire single October 5 (65,097) (65,109) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The one she did with JD must have been for her album. All the songs from Empire are by Timbaland and NeYo. (Tuesday 9 August 2016; 19:18)

Re: Classic 90's Mariah (65,100) (65,108) by Bill from the UK I couldn't get beyond the first 25 seconds. (Tuesday 9 August 2016; 19:02)

Re: Mariah and Pavarotti (65,104) (65,107) by Mike from FL, USA My All was also marvelous at the Pavarotti and friends concert. One of my all time faves. (Tuesday 9 August 2016; 18:31)

Re: Empire (65,087) (65,106) by Warren from Trinidad & Tobago To add to your point, I think that singing with him means she uses the whisper register, which in itself is not so good news. (Tuesday 9 August 2016; 18:05)

Re: Mariah's World (65,102) (65,105) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines I great that you see that Mariah's selling her personality, because honestly, I don't know what it is she's selling anymore. Which is funny because she has sold a lot probably the widest variety of things over the past 5 years - perfume, nail polish, video game, even flavored water (how is that going by the way, does anybody know?) and yet I still feel like the only thing that she sold over that period that sticks out and is even worthy of discussion was MIAMTEC and we all know how that turned out. So if she indeed is selling her personality, then she's in trouble because even that doesn't seem so appealing now. (Tuesday 9 August 2016; 15:24)

Mariah and Pavarotti (65,104) by MusicfanJ from Germany I just watched Hero with Pavarotti and I love her style and look so much there. Can you imagine she would do a duet with Josh Groban? Especially at Christmas time, I'm sure it would be magical if it's a well-produced ballad. And I still wish Mariah would make a duet with John Legend, I mean on her new cd not just live. (Tuesday 9 August 2016; 12:15)

Re: Article: "American Idol" contestants react to Mariah Carey (65,061) (65,103) by TJ from Norway I agree with you. (Tuesday 9 August 2016; 11:58)

Mariah's World (65,102) by George Golden from UK Mariah wants to sell her personality now, not her music. I am sorry guys but Mariah's World looks like a bad idea. The fact that she is trying to tell the world that she is not crazy but looking crazy in the process is just ridiculous. All this does not matter if she releases a smash album, but will she? I fell in love with Mariah because of her music not the other way around. Songs like Meteorite show that if she experiments with sound she will come out with a killer album, still she wants to keep making "We belong together" sequels. Rent a rapper is overdone by her it's just madness at this point. YouTube views make a hit these days and still she wants to come up [with] mediocre videos that she has done over and over again. She won't her a hit again if she remains on this road and don't get me started on those instagram posts. I like the ones with her kids but the ones with that thirteen year old is just creepy. I wish Mariah will have a great new era but how possible is that if she doesn't change? (Tuesday 9 August 2016; 7:34)

Re: Pettiness: in reverse (65,074) (65,101) by JAXGH from United States Are you f*cking kidding me? 37 years old Mariah also wrote "I Wish You Well". 40 years old Mariah also wrote "100%". You all need to stop acting like she didn't grow. "I Wish You Well" is one of her most, if not the most, mature, heart felt, inspiring, spiritual, record to this day. Touch My Body is a 2008 jam, simply wouldn't exist in 90's. Times simply have changed, music game changed, she's been doing sensual records since 97, for the record. She knew where music is going and she keeps up. Mariah grew musically, lyrically, emotionally and mentally nonetheless. People just disregard it because those aren't the singles that are released. But if you really listen to each album to it's entirety, there is at least one inspiring, spiritual record in it. She never lost that side. It just became more subtle. (Tuesday 9 August 2016; 5:33)

Classic 90's Mariah (65,100) by Mara from United States I don't know how many of you are familiar with Trini Trent, he has a YouTube Chanel and blogs a lot and speaks from the heart and is always pretty spot on. He just did a video on MC's Emotions and why it was such an underrated gem. He is a huge Lamb and I follow him and also loved his last video on MC during her Christmas show. If you have a chance, check out his video. It brings back that Mariah we have all been missing and takes us back for a few moments. Emotions has always been one of my all time favorite Mariah albums with Til The End Of Time being an absolute favorite and how it leads into the hauntingly beautiful "The Wind". Eric I hope this video is shared correctly because I feel a lot of people on here would appreciate this. I wish a bit of this Mariah would come back, instead of the lavish his and hers yacht Mariah. I just can't get into the flaunting of the luxurious lifestyle too much longer as much as I adore this woman since her debut, it's getting harder and harder to relate to her and I just miss the person we all fell in love with. But please check out this video if you could and if you could find his other Mariah video, that is worth a watch too. (Tuesday 9 August 2016; 5:15)

Empire (65,099) by 123 from USA So she is playing a singer named Kitty. I love it. Lee got her to play herself, it will probably be an exaggerated version. Shawn did confirm that Mariah would be releasing a new song this year. Maybe it's a song on Empire. Please no Jussie duets, his goat sounding vocals give me a head ache. He is always singing in that goal sounding falsetto. He seems to have no idea what singing in your "full voice" means. He would probably sound better. (Tuesday 9 August 2016; 5:11)

Re: Empire single October 5 (65,097) by Ty from USA I bet that's the song she was doing [with] JD so the single will be released October 5th with a remix featuring Jussie? I bet it's only a single because she has to promote her Christmas shows, she will not mess up her potential millions from the Christmas season. (Tuesday 9 August 2016; 4:34)
