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.

Re: TMZ is reporting the split (67,545) (67,551) by Luke from United Kingdom I don't think Mariah would waste her time pulling a stunt that lasts nearly 3 years lol. She was introduced to him by Brett wasn't she? During a premier in 2014. I think if it is true it won't be about money it will be about the amount of people they have swirling around them. In videos of them eating dinner you can clearly see her entourage doing his head in lol. I think perhaps he wouldn't have known what he was getting into. Which is silly if you're going to pursue a megastar like her. (Thursday 27 October 2016; 19:17)

Breakup / Mariah's World (67,550) by Tyler from USA If the allegations are true about the break up then I extremely interested to see what will happen with Mariah's World. Wasn't half of the episodes about the wedding preparations? This is very awkward. I guess this is what happens when you don't keep your private life private. Going around bragging about a ring and now have to explain to everyone what happened is embarrassing. I feel bad for her. I'm hoping the reason was that she was so in love and couldn't contain her joy. We need Cindy ASAP to clean up this week. (Thursday 27 October 2016; 18:52)

Re: TMZ is reporting the split (67,545) (67,549) by B from USA Mariah needs a new team. Stella doesn't care about her clients reputation or her career, all she cares about is using her client to make a name for herself and her children. (Thursday 27 October 2016; 18:33)

Article: Done for now, maybe for good (67,548) by Ignacio Pineda from United States I never liked them together. (Thursday 27 October 2016; 18:01)

Re: TMZ is reporting the split (67,545) (67,547) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I also want to bring attention to the whole "James is a private man" thing. If James was so private, why did he allow those up close and personal pictures of Mariah awkwardly kissing him on the yacht, the motor-boating sessions, and countless other awkward "making out" pictures, which were clearly taken by her people and he was aware of it. Unless of course he doesn't read the entertainment news at all and never saw those. But I doubt it. Wendy has apparently already jumped on the story. I didn't see it yet.

Re: TMZ is reporting the split (67,543) (67,546) by Mara from United States Wow. I seriously hope this is not some kind of warped way of gaining viewers for MW. I mean, I love how it eludes to the fact that Packer was not happy with Mariah's relationship or whatever you want to call it with "one of her dancers" (Bryan) and that it was captured on video and will be seen on the E show. So it's like they are trying to spark interest in seeing the way Mariah interacts with BT. Then you have the fact that Tanaka was promoted to Mariah's "new Creative Director" in the June leg of the Vegas shows, even having his formal announcement on social media and Mariah's shout out mentions and thank you's to him at the closing of her shows, and then abruptly sometime in August we have Anthony Burrell back at the job with no public mention. Then the Twitter/Instagram pics of the Halloween party with Tanaka tagging everyone but Stella in the pic and then later the day Stella posts the same pic and crops Brian out. (Yeah I had too much time on my hands that day, lol, home sick with flu.) But all I'm saying is this really seems like Kardashian type hype for stories on their show. I really hope I am wrong. (Thursday 27 October 2016; 17:10)

Re: TMZ is reporting the split (67,543) (67,545) by RibbonB from USA This has all felt like a cheap publicity stunt IMO. From the very beginning Mariah has been doing the strangest things and all for the camera for our consumption to mull over and discuss. Like why would she film a "rendezvous" with the help no less? Why even film a reality show about a new relationship with a wealthy man, who has always been private? It has always been designed to generate interest and drama, that may or may not be there. A lot of her fans have been into it, but I think many more have cried foul. I don't think the tour and her "breakup" are connected. If Mariah had any hand in the problem, the promoters would not be refunding money, they would be suing her for breach of contract. One thing is true, Stellar is not so stellar as I have always thought. She should be blamed for the lack of communication and not being more forthright with the fans. Mariah already made her statement. And people going bat crap cray, what else is new? Them fools need to stop, IMO. (Thursday 27 October 2016; 16:39)

Article: It's over: James Packer dumps Mariah Carey (67,544) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Let's be completely honest. I'm not one to wish doom on anyone's relationship, but was only a matter of time. "Any fool could forsee the end." (Guess what Mariah song did that line come from.) (Thursday 27 October 2016; 16:16)

TMZ is reporting the split (67,543) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So TMZ has picked up the story and their reasoning for the split sounds more believable than the crappy one about Mariah being extravagant. According to TMZ, Packer was not happy with some of the scenes involving Mariah and one of her dancers, *cough* Bryan *cough*. Quoting TMZ "the deal breaker for Packer came when she had some sort of rendezvous with one of the dancers in her Vegas show, something that is on video for the reality show". He was also apparently never on board with the whole reality show thing. Anyways according to TMZ they have split but apparently there is still a possibility of them getting together. Now that they have said there is a possibility of them getting back, could this be a publicity stunt for MW? I don't know about Mariah but I wouldn't put it past Stella to dig up cheap publicity, especially since we know that the whole Bryan rumors were spreading like fire and got people talking. If this was Mariah any other year I would be 100% certain that she won't do such a thing, but with Stella whispering in her ears, I will have to wait and see. Regardless of this, I'll still wait on official confirmation of the split and even if they split, I can't say it's a bad thing. They looked more like cousins (like Licia said before) than a couple.

Re: What female should Mariah duet with? (67,526) (67,542) by Andrew from UK Honey, there's only one queen I can see when I look at your message. (Thursday 27 October 2016; 15:19)

Re: Fan backlash (67,540) (67,541) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter But she did right? She cancelled all 5 shows there. She will only keep Hawaii and Mexico. People in Mexico are scared that will get axed too. (Thursday 27 October 2016; 14:45)

Re: Fan backlash (67,523) (67,540) by B from USA I could understand the backlash if she had cancelled the entire South American tour but she didn't. (Thursday 27 October 2016; 14:41)

Re: Packer split / SA tour (67,535) (67,539) by Malcolm from Asia I don't know but I'm not shocked that this is happening (if it is true) because I didn't felt the connection and the sincerity of their "relationship" to begin with. Based on her past relationships, it's weird to see what she is acting and body language when she is spotted with James in public, like she's not like that when it comes to her love life. If their relationship is indeed for "business purposes" only, then I'm glad that it's finally over because she can now concentrate with more important stuff like her upcoming album. Stella must only fix that headlines because it is making Mariah the bad one again. (Thursday 27 October 2016; 14:34)

Packeriah's end (67,538) by darrian liu from taiwan I hope that Mariah is okay and that people around her are supporting her. Perhaps Stella's #empoweryourgirls thing will actually be a help for Mariah to get over Packer. In times like this, with the split and the cancellations of tour (and the negativity around Mariah), we should stick together and show Mariah that the lambs still got her back. (Thursday 27 October 2016; 14:27)

Re: Packer split / SA tour (67,533) (67,537) by Martyn from England, UK You raise a very good point Mimi L, I hadn't thought about that. Well whatever the case, I hope she's okay. If it is true, it must be awfully embarrassing for her. She needs to chill with the whirlwind engagements. And as for Sheila, Ariana is a queen to me, but I guess we all have our opinions. As for Dangerous Woman being a flop, I think Eric cleared that one up for me. (Thursday 27 October 2016; 13:55)

Awww Mariah (67,536) by Todd from Melbourne, Australia I feel bad for her if this is all true, which I think it is. It's even on the news here. We have no idea what their relationship was like. I too didn't think she was that into it, but who knows? A breakdown of any relationship is sad, and I really hope she's okay. One thing that annoys me is the Australian assumption that she's a gold digger, and the reports that she "refused" to attend James' sisters thing in Sydney. They fail to mention that she is worth half a billion USD, and she wasn't in Sydney because she was contractually obligated to be in Las Vegas. Idiots. Also - the Brazil thing - that sucks balls. Although it does sound like she might have been the victim of her appalling management. To those of you who are worried it's going to effect AIWFCIY sales: relax. The general public will have no idea she was even meant to be going to South America. Hell most of them don't think she's had a song out since Hero. (Thursday 27 October 2016; 13:00)

Re: Packer split / SA tour (67,533) (67,535) by Licia from USA I'm trying to stay away from the JP situation because I never really believed in their love affair to begin with. I've always felt they are more in like with each than in love. I can say that I bet there will be a million articles and so called friend quotes from Mariah's team about how in love they are, but not one article on this tour debacle. In my opinion defending your employer and keeping people from continuing to drag her through the mud over something that may not be her fault is more of a priority than trying to dispel rumors about her love life. (Thursday 27 October 2016; 12:47)

Re: Packer split / SA tour (67,527) (67,534) by Musti from UK Yes I felt like there might be a connection. Smells a bit like the time when YME or MIAM was released. But she openly blamed the promoters so maybe they really did mess things up. I wonder what happened. The silence is not helping though and it's definitely not a good look. (Thursday 27 October 2016; 12:15)

Re: Packer split / SA tour (67,527) (67,533) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I don't think it's related. First of all, we don't even know if it's true because every other week we get a "James dumped Mariah" headline. It makes for an easy story, everyone likes to believe that James (a reserved billionaire) would eventually tire of Mariah's over the top, diva, glamor ways. However we don't know how this woman is behind closed doors. Secondly, Mariah never seemed to be that into James ever, they were photographed together for maybe a total of 10 times and every time Stella was right there to make sure Mariah and James didn't have to speak more than 2 words to each other, hence if they did split, I don't think she would be "devastated". Third but most importantly, don't forget this woman went on an Asian and Australian tour right after her break up with Nick, when she really was devastated (because she seemed like she really did love him and she had babies with him and was married to him for years) and save for the first few shows, she did pretty well. So I don't think Mariah would cancel a tour because of her relationship with James especially if that didn't stop her when she was going through a difficult divorce in 2014. So I'm not concerned. Plus she is already doing other appearances instead of the tour. This is Mariah's season. She won't let anyone take away her shine during this time of the year, and she shouldn't either. This is the only time when the whole world acknowledges her greatness. (Thursday 27 October 2016; 12:13)

Cancellation of the SSFT tour (67,532) by darrian liu from taiwan I couldn't believe this. I mean, yeah, Team MC is so darn messy but I didn't expect it to be this bad. We need answers, Mariah's getting death threats online. Team MC must arrange for Mariah to do a tell-all interview regarding this issue and really set the record straight and publicise the interview as much as possible. That info about the promoter is still not enough. Moreover, this is nearly Mariah's season. I don't want this to hinder AIWFCIY's performance sales wise. (Thursday 27 October 2016; 12:06)

Re: Fan backlash (67,523) (67,528) (67,531) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I agree, this isn't her fault. There's a reason she keeps people on her payroll to handle her marketing/PR side. Mariah never claimed to be a business graduate that she can handle both her artistry and business together. Regardless, no matter how upset the fans are, no one has the right to call her filthy names and to wish death upon her. That's just too much. This thing should have been nipped in the bud the moment the tour got cancelled. All they needed to do was hold an iPhone in front of Mariah and let her just say whatever she felt like saying. No need to force a script on her. I'm sure she genuinely feels bad about it and she is good with words so just let her give a heartfelt video message. This would never have blown up so much if her team was more active, like Chris Chambers was last year when Morgan tried to sell his first explosive story and no one got wind of it, it died down in 5 minutes flat with only the original tabloid having that story. But Stella spends so much time on her contour and so little time actually bothering to choose people who are right for business that her team is a complete mess. It only has Bulochnikov insiders who don't have the experience. How can Stella play multiple roles as manager, tour manager, PR personnel, marketing personnel, bodyguard, accounts manager and so on? She ain't Eddie Murphy and this isn't the Nutty Professor. Stop being so scared of being fired and hence not letting professional outsiders enter. Get your act together instead of ruining and leeching off the very woman who is paying your bills and your family's bills. (Thursday 27 October 2016; 12:01)

Re: SA tour and the drama (67,530) by Sheila from United States The trolls are always looking for a reason to hate on Mariah. She didn't handle her business, this will blow over like all her drama. You can tell by her performance of Someday in Vegas the woman is burned out. She keeps going and going for the lambs who don't appreciate a 47 year old woman wanting to please the lambs but not retiring and raising her children. It's a tour, it's not like she promised to meet each fan personally, which we know the lunatic lamb in Vegas ruined that with his Barbie doll. (Thursday 27 October 2016; 11:44)

Ariana is no queen and Dangerous Woman flopped (67,529) by Sheila from United States Queens: Mariah, Whitney, Celine, Aretha, Gloria Estfan, Janet, Madonna, Selena. Ariana is a child. Have you bumped your head? [Webmaster: I don't think you can call Dangerous Woman a flop. The album debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200 and it became her first number one album in the UK. It also hit number-one in Australia, Brazil, Italy, Ireland, New Zealand, Spain and Taiwan, while also entering the top ten in almost every territory it charted in.] (Thursday 27 October 2016; 11:41)
