E news (67,577) by RibbonB from USA Lol E news is spreading both the Bran Flake story and now the James is mentally unstable story. Supposedly James hasn't been mentally well for a while and has not been present for Mariah, so she had to let him go. So all in one day, James dumped her for over spending, and for rendezvousing with the help, or Mariah dumped him for doing something bad to her assistant, or for being mentally unstable and not present. Wow. What a sloppy mess this story has become. TMZ also has five or six versions of this "breakup". I won't be surprised if James and Mariah pose for Halloween and act like nothing has happened. Still a month to Mariah's World, if it does't get stalled. Yikes. (Friday 28 October 2016; 2:35)

Re: This is KickAss? (67,573) (67,576) by May from Denmark Being from South America I can tell you we are very much used to being stood up by mega stars. Mariah isn't the only one and she isn't the first one giving promoters drama as an excuse, it happens all too often, yes, promoters there suck and the major one that deals all is the same one in most countries down there, it's like a monopoly, it's also very unorganized, an usual complaint when big names come. Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Adele, Christina, Selena Gomez, a bunch of artists had cancelled South American tours, generally the excuses are the same "I hurt my knee", "my voice is wee", "the promoters scammed me". I just don't know if others fans are as aggressive as the lambs. The insults in Mariah's FB are outrageous. (Friday 28 October 2016; 1:52)

Re: Mariah's World (67,570) (67,575) by May from Denmark I feel that this whole split up announcement (as it has already been officially announced) came to light only to minimize the damage the tour cancelleation could create and is being used to divert the attention. According to what has been said, Mariah and James haven't been together for a month. As soon as the tour drama came up, the news about the split surfaced and it's the only thing the celeb news talk about. It only left Mariah's social media suffering the SA fans complaints and the news now just simply mention she "will be touring SA 2017" and move on. So my opinion is that this whole "they are seeing if they can make it work" might hint that they aren't really split, they will be fine with each other next month and the reality, sorry, "docu series" will happen as scheduled. I could be wrong of course haha. (Friday 28 October 2016; 1:28)

Re: Mariah's SHM-CD question / new "Greatest Hits" (67,572) (67,574) by Billy from Greece I meant to say, "I'm not an audiophile expert". Still, I am keen on finding out which is the best sounding version of a given CD. (Friday 28 October 2016; 1:27)

Re: This is KickAss? (67,571) (67,573) by Mara from United States Exactly. They absolutely deserve an explanation other than that little Twitter thing. Whatever you want to call it, and adding the dahhlings in there was not warm enough. A front page statement on her horribly updated website and a post to her Facebook page would be a start if she can't record a personal message. It really seems like perfect timing for this breakup news if you ask me. Also why they added they are broken up "for now". Take the focus off of this disaster until it dies down. Well the problem is fans don't forget. These people are heartbroken. (Friday 28 October 2016; 0:26)

Mariah's SHM-CD question / new "Greatest Hits" (67,572) by Billy from Greece Does anyone here have any SHM-CD versions of any Mariah albums? Is there a difference in audio quality? I'm an audiophile expert, but is there any point in getting, for instance, "Charmbracelet" in SHM format? For those unfamiliar with SHM, it corresponds to "Super High Material CD", meaning, better developed CDs, presumably with better sound too. Also, has anyone bought the new "Greatest Hits" digipack? (Friday 28 October 2016; 0:17)

Re: This is KickAss? (67,567) (67,571) by Licia from USA I'm very upset about what happened to the fans, but Mariah's people (not necessarily Mariah) are going to make sure that the news focuses on her breakup and not the tour fiasco. It's already started. I've said from the very beginning that those fans deserve an explanation. (Friday 28 October 2016; 0:05)

Mariah's World (67,570) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So James apparently doesn't want to be a part of the reality show. This could result in a delay or cancellation of the show if they have to edit out all his appearances, although he probably wasn't in it that much. What I want to know is what will happen with the wedding preparation moments? This whole show was supposed to be about her tour and wedding preparations, we even see her trying on gowns. Ugh does this mean we have another abandoned project coming up? (Thursday 27 October 2016; 23:23)

Re: This is KickAss? (67,567) (67,569) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter That is the worst album name ever. Clearly it should be "Chronicles of a Magical Unicorn". (Thursday 27 October 2016; 23:20)

Changing the topic... (67,568) by R&B Junkie from Poland ...for a while. Can anyone from Hungary explain me how come "Get Your Number" exploded to #17 on iTunes? Is it "National Get Your Number Download Day" or something? I know it's not that big market and sometimes in our territories some songs can land very high on charts all of a sudden, but still. (Thursday 27 October 2016; 22:59)

This is KickAss? (67,567) by Andrew from UK Little confused as to what James Packer had to gain from the alleged "publicity stunt". Surely, he doesn't need it. You could fabricate a hundred theories as to why he does but they wouldn't hold much water. Doesn't anybody feel sorry for the fans in South America who paid for flights and hotels which they probably won't get refunded back to them? For the fans who looked forward to it for ages only to be disappointed and not even get a genuine apology? Strange that the story is about Mariah getting dumped by somebody she was only ever going out with because of the fame and money associated with it. However, even *I* don't think Mariah has turned her *whole* life into a bullshit story to expose a little documentary and get it some viewers. What's more: there's little evidence to support such a theory. So let everyone rejoice that James is out of the picture and that Stella will (one can only imagine) probably be soon out of the picture and that Mariah will... well, Mariah will be on her own again with no new material and a heap shit of bad press and social media exploits that tarnishes her image further and ruins her legend. I don't agree with "no press is bad press". "Bad press", to me, would encapsulate being thought of as a person who used to sell records selling his or her reputation for some column inches. She needs to release a kickass party album soon in the new year. Ten tracks with attitude. Kill it. Put this nonsense behind her. In fact, she should call it that. "Mariah Carey - KickAss" or "Mariah Carey - This is KickAss". (Thursday 27 October 2016; 22:45)

Re: Article: Something bad happened in Greece (67,564) (67,566) by B from USA Mariah's most recent specials (Mariah's Merriest Christmas and At Home with MC) garnered four million viewers and if Mariah's World pulls half of will be a huge hit on E. On par with KUWTK. (Thursday 27 October 2016; 22:19)

Article: Something bad happened in Greece (67,565) by DreamLove from USA I don't know if I exactly believe this article or the article about them breaking up about money. I do not believe they broke up over money, they both have their own money. One thing about the relationship was that is was very good for her because she got better. She seemed happier and could sing much better than the post break up with Nick. I wonder if Stella had something to do with break up. I think Stella needs to be removed from her team, immediately. I wish Nick would finally sign off on the divorce and stop waiting for his pay day or situations to occur that could benefit him. Overall I hope Mariah really finds that happy stable relationship because these relationships seems to be important to her well being (as they are with most people). (Thursday 27 October 2016; 22:04)

Article: Something bad happened in Greece (67,564) by RibbonB from USA Lol still the same sources TMZ and Daily Mail. The pattern continues. Mariah was due back from vacation, so I doubt she left the boat because he did something bad. Like who dumped whom with these different scenarios our there. She had her Empire appearance etc. in October and James is trying not to get arrested in China and to have his 18 employees released and fight off corruption money laundering charges in China. They are getting cheap "breakup" attention, but I still say it won't generate big interest for this show. Non fans are just confused by her and all her hangers on. Fans are either happy or pissed, which doesn't really set the stage for a show with wide appeal. It just strikes me as desperate. Oh well, we have a serious election about to go down. That is enough of a fiasco on the world stage. Wishing dem babies the best in all of this. (Thursday 27 October 2016; 22:01)

Re: Stella (67,559) (67,563) by Mara from United States If Mariah doesn't get rid of her after this then she needs her head examined. This woman is toxic and I would like to see the Stella defenders come to her defense now. How totally inappropriate and unprofessional. Unless this is aimed at Mariah, she is supposed to be the manager of a woman, the legend, the brand Mariah Carey. This is not Tiny we are talking about here, no offense to Tiny. But come on. This is how you behave? This is classless behavior, especially when she knows all eyes are on MC right now with all these stories. There will be people checking out her Instagram for any kind of quotes and this is what she posts? Wow woman. I can't even right now. (Thursday 27 October 2016; 21:16)

Re: TMZ is reporting the split (67,547) (67,562) by RibbonB from USA I have been saying that this is one long sloppy business deal/stunt. Lol. People are also forgetting that M. is on camera dancing with Anthony and some chick. There are so many planted moments in an attempt to create drama. This is a Brett Ratner/Ratpac production IMO. Produced by Stellar the blush wielder. Lest we forget, Eddie Morales previously commented "let's hope the witch, or bitch or whatever he called Stella, doesn't sink the whole ship before M. relaunches her career". Sadly, M. may end up with whomever generates the most interest. A pitiful joke to play on herself and her children. Her fans are either applauding, or looking away in shame or at least out of respect for who she used to be, or could be if she drops the camouflage. (Thursday 27 October 2016; 21:09)

Re: Breakup / Mariah's World (67,550) (67,561) by Mara from United States If it is sparking an interest and it was done for that purpose, then I guess it is working. (Thursday 27 October 2016; 21:05)

TMZ / James and Mariah (67,560) by Mara from United States Ok so apparently this story keeps on growing. Now TMZ states that something big happened in Greece when they were all vacationing and James did something "bad" to Mariah's assistant, hence Stella, and Mariah left and went back to LA. Ok now I vaguely remember a tabloid story that Maraiah and James went to Greece to try and salvage their relationship. Makes me wonder who is feeding these stories to the tabloids and TMZ. They always say according to this inside source. I don't know about you, but if I were Mariah I would really start to think long and hard as to where all this so called inside info is coming from. She needs to look at her inner circle a little closer unless she is in on it as well. Makes you wonder if James was the one funding and behind the promoters for the South American tour and that is why it had to be pulled. Would make sense as why Mariah was quoted onTwitter saying she was very disappointed in the promoters and how her fans deserved better than that. It almost had a personal message to it to the promoters. But then it states that James and Mariah are done "for now" all very odd to me. Well now Mariah is free to spend Thanksgiving in Hawaii with BT. Still hoping this is not reality TV drama. (Thursday 27 October 2016; 21:03)

Stella (67,559) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Stella is pissed at someone. This is on her instagram with the caption "I don't care how long I [censored] with you, bye Felicia empower women". Now is this about Mariah or James? I mean is she making a statement about James being out of the picture? Then it's unprofessional as fudge. But what more can you expect. If it's about Mariah finally waking up and firing her and her squad, then MC family, then I'm throwing a virtual MCA party. You best come decked out in all your finery. (Thursday 27 October 2016; 20:53)

Re: Calling it quits (67,552) (67,558) by Mike from FL, USA Agree 100%. PR stunt from the beginning. Hey, it got her name back in the media, for better or worse. (Thursday 27 October 2016; 20:50)

Re: TMZ is reporting the split (67,547) (67,557) by MusicfanJ from Germany Mimi L. I thought the same. Mr. Packer didn't seem so private. My worst thoughts are that he only used her for his business and fun. I hope I'm wrong. Of course on the internet and media it's all Mariah's fault. It's like bad soap-opera nowadays. (Thursday 27 October 2016; 20:47)

TMZ new info (67,556) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So TMZ is reporting something new about how the relationship got rocky during their visit to Greece. To quote them "sources connected with Mariah claim James did 'something really bad' involving her assistant. The sources would not elaborate but we're told after the alleged incident Mariah bailed on the vacation, got off the boat and returned to L.A." So now how much do you want to bet James told Stella to get to fudge out of his suite when he was trying to bed Mariah and Stella was sitting their, all contoured up and leather jackets galore, chattering away. Seriously if James told Stella to get the eff out, I'd be Team Packer. The woman hounds Mariah like she's Mariah's shadow. (Thursday 27 October 2016; 20:46)

Re: TMZ is reporting the split (67,546) (67,555) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha Mara, good Lord, I can't with your observational skills. The instagram drama info was something I didn't know about before haha. So thanks for that. Also let's not forget the completely awkward and unnecessary lap dance Mariah gave Bryan during one of the shows. It was so weird. (Thursday 27 October 2016; 20:39)

Re: Awww Mariah (67,536) (67,554) by MusicfanJ from Germany If it's true the ending of the "relationship" is even earlier than I thought. For me it was strange all the time like so many here said. But I'm a bit worried about Mariah, hope she's okay too. She doesn't seem to be a woman who is able to be "alone". Although I think she should concentrate on herself for some time and rethink about the people who she's spending so much time with (the so-called management.) (Thursday 27 October 2016; 20:07)

Calling it quits (67,552) by Marissa from USA Honestly, the writing was on the wall. I officially knew that this union had an expiration date once I saw this video that shows the painfully obvious differences between Mariah and James' personalities. Not to mention that Mariah went from being miserable that Nick was always gone to being a-okay and even happy with only seeing someone she was "in love" with not even once a month. I think it was a business arrangement and publicity stunt, so I can't really imagine Mariah being heartbroken over anything other than giving the ring back. I also think it's suspect that the news outlet is saying that there might be a possibility of them getting back together. Sounds like they're keeping their foot in the door to pull another "they're back together" stunt closer to the premier of Mariah's World. If that's the case, these tactics are pathetic.
