Re: Dem kids on instagram (66,500) (66,512) by RibbonB from USA I agree nothing in that particular video, but the totality of all these silly videos and the one's sure to come might. It just gets from bad to worse from exploitative videos of M. to now one's with her children, it's rather pathetic and there are still over two months to go before the "Kardashians Next Tax Bracket" airs with Mariah and her crew of parasites. Which leaves them lots of time to exploit to try to scare up interest for themselves, because ain't nobody interested in them by themselves. And you stated it, who is supervising these kids? Who is taping them and who is uploading these videos? And worse, what else might they be taping? Mariah and "Old Stale Ho Stella" and her kids is one thing and bad enough, but don't put the dem babies in the stunts too. (Tuesday 20 September 2016; 17:20)

Re: Video (66,495) / Mimi L. (66,509) (66,511) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I saw that video and Stella was next to Mariah and talking non stop, James was sitting on the other side of the table and just watching. I don't get the need to take the entire entourage. Mariah should have learned what happens when you mix your personal and professional life, it gives birth to leeches. Red flags all around. She has no one around her (except James, who is as good as being invisible) who is not on her payroll and hence will never do anything that will cause her to cut them off her bottomless jar of wealth.

Instagram (66,510) by Bill from the UK The contrast between the pictures of Mariah on the bed and then the one with her and Rocky at the table is unbelievable. Mariah looks so youthful and happy and like her old self in that natural picture vs the staged ones. If only she would have the self belief that her beauty is natural and radiates from within.

Re: Video (66,495) / Mimi L. (66,508) (66,509) by Mara from United States So Mariah is enjoying some "down time" before she starts up the next shows of the SSFT and then of course hopefully the Beacon Shows. She travels with all of these people now? All these women from Stella's family? I'm assuming it's Mariah that is paying for all of this. Now in this video along with especially that one of her eating at the table with James, Stella and two other men. The video is only two minutes long but she just looks a little sad. Still not sure about the whole James situation. You hardly see her look or talk to him. It's almost like if James marries Mariah, he gets two brides. Mariah and Stella too. I still don't understand how any man can be satisfied with spending time with his fiancé along with an entire entourage all the time. Maybe they do have time away privately but it just doesn't seem it. I do hope Mariah finds time to reflect and write some of her signature type deep songs like each of her albums always have. Wondering myself on when to download the Empire song as I want it to count the right way for charts. (Tuesday 20 September 2016; 15:13)

Re: Video (66,495) / Mimi L. (66,503) (66,508) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Thanks for the clarification Billy, I also thought the same thing that you said but someone on UKMix was saying how it is part of tradition and everyone does it so I got confused and wanted clarification. Imagine going for a quiet lunch and then having to deal with this mess. A full grown woman dancing on a table with kids while other members of the party are screaming their heads off for no good reason. Mariah wasn't screaming though, she was sitting and singing along to her songs. But the rest of her group could get you deaf in a day. This whole dancing on table top at a family restaurant thing was cringeworthy and disrespectful. (Tuesday 20 September 2016; 14:42)

Re: New song (66,493) (66,506) by Tameka walker from United states Please let me know as well so I can download the song. (Tuesday 20 September 2016; 13:25)

Re: Sexy done right (66,497) (66,505) by MusicfanJ from Germany Wow she looks like a goddess from Rome. (Tuesday 20 September 2016; 12:34)

Re: Video (66,495) (66,504) by MusicfanJ from Germany In some way this video is funny. Mariah is hanging out with kids. She shines and yes Mishka wants some superstarpower by touching "our" Mariah. (Tuesday 20 September 2016; 12:31)

Re: Video (66,495) / Mimi L. (66,503) by Billy from Greece In a caricature-esque publicized version of Greece, yes, what you describe, as well as camp "opa" moments may be considered acceptable or occurring at night clubs of a certain "quality". In reality, though, no, you won't see a person randomly jumping on a table at a restaurant in the middle of the day to "celebrate" (celebrate what?). This whole "celebration" thing may have been a Greek concept at one point (more related to actual celebratory moments like weddings or parties), but it has been blown out of proportion so much and is generally discussed out of context that it just makes me cringe. That's why tourists who come here and buy into that, or scream "opa" every other second and try to behave accordingly just seem totally ridiculous. (Tuesday 20 September 2016; 12:13)

Re: Inspirational songs (66,490) (66,502) by Merr Hasenan from Malaysia In term of lyrics, I found that Butterfly is very rich in symbolism and imagery. It was translated very well in the video too. The words reflected my life and my relationship during that time. Maybe that's the reason why I love our Mariah very much. Every album has my story or something that I can relate to, that inspired me in many ways, esspecially her ballads. No matter how high I jump listening to Fantasy or Heartbraker, it is her ballads/sad songs that I really wanted from her. Call me outdated but in Malaysia, My All, Hero, OSD, LTT, VOL are the songs that made Mariah the queen here. After all, I was born in 70s - at this age: a ballad is the best to accompany our tea time in the afternoon. (Tuesday 20 September 2016; 6:27)

Collaboration (66,501) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Can we get a MC and Bruno Mars collaboration already? Come on now. I think they'd sound great together. (Tuesday 20 September 2016; 4:13)

Re: Dem kids on instagram (66,492) (66,500) by B from USA Nothing in the video warrants a visit from CPS. It does beg the question why is Mariah Carey allowing such behavior? Surely she was unaware the Kardashian knockoff made and uploaded the video? Antics and stunts are starting to really disturb me. These antics are making Mariah Carey look like she's an incompetent mother which is unforgivable. Or at least a mother who leaves her children unsupervised. (Tuesday 20 September 2016; 3:57)

Sexy done right (66,497) by 123 from USA This is my favorite post Butterfly look in a video. (Tuesday 20 September 2016; 3:29)

Re: Re: Butterfly (66,433) (66,448) (66,496) by 123 from USA Mariah on the supposed "streak". But your albums had just as many singles. Uh-uh. Nope. Look at it from the first album on. Like on my MTV Unplugged, which sold ten million, there was just "I'll Be There". I feel I did have more singles on some of those albums when people were like, "Oh, she's jumping R&B bandwagon", I said, I wish people would just listen to some of the other cuts on my albums that were never promoted. Then they would understand my favorite songs were songs that never got any light. Like? "Underneath The Stars" on Daydream is one of my favorite songs I've ever written. On the first album there's "Sent From Up Above" that was very R&B and that was never released. Too many for me to even name. Even with Butterfly, technically, only two singles were released: "Honey" and "My All". Do you have a say in all that stuff? Everybody swung it like I didn't want to put something out because I wouldn't accept less than a No. 1 Pop single. That's not even true. Like I didn't want to "break a streak". My streak was broken a long time ago. I don't even have a streak. I had five number ones, then I had records that didn't go to number one. Whatever. I wanted to put out "Breakdown" with Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. That was a no-brainer. Release it. I'll always be upset "Breakdown" never got its shot. Is that personal to Mariah? Or is that label bullshit? I think that a lot of people - and I'm not saying anything personal to the label - have had these issues. (Tuesday 20 September 2016; 2:59)

Video (66,495) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Gosh these people are so loud all the time haha. And laughing hard at Mishka randomly touching Mariah's hair (to get some of that superstar DNA on her hands) and Mimi just turning around to give her the look. Second time Mishka attacked Mariah's hair on camera, the first time when Mariah went like "don't burn my hair" during Stella's birthday when Mishka was holding those fiery things (what do you call it again?) near Mariah's hair. There is this other video of Roc and Roe, Sasha and this full grown woman (either Liana or Zarinab, I forget which is which because these 2 and Stella look alike) dancing on top of this restaurant table and they were loud and it jumping. Now I gather that this dancing on restaurant tables is apparently acceptable in Greece and that it's some kind of celebration (can someone confirm this?), in which case I guess it's alright, but ugh the video gave me a headache. They better not ruin Mariah's hearing after yelling so much near her, we need them ears to be in pip condition. (Tuesday 20 September 2016; 2:48)

Re: Re: Mimi L. (66,463) (66,478) (66,494) by 123 from USA I don't believe Mariah can dictate how her albums are released. Def Jam publicly embarrassed her when she said in an interview that MIAM would be released digitally first as she wanted it to be heard as a "whole", only for Def Jam to release a statement shortly after that her album would get the traditional role out which just made it easy for people to illegally download it as it was available on different dates for different territories. I remember the album wasn't even out yet and my friend called to rub it in my face that they had the deluxe version in their iPod while I waited. I don't think she got a blue chip deal this time around with Sony. Per an article on this site at the time it was alleged she didn't get the advance she was asking for. I would rather her take a lower or no advance at all and in exchange for a say on a projects release or single choices. (Tuesday 20 September 2016; 2:44)

New song (66,493) by Alex from United States Hey lambs, I'm hoping someone can shed some light for me. When does Billboard start counting the sales for the next weeks charts? Could that be the reason the Empire song is being released on Friday, September 30? I want to download it as soon as possible. I just hope it will count towards the numbers the night of the show. If anyone has some knowledge they'd like to share I would appreciate it. (Tuesday 20 September 2016; 1:43)

Re: Dem kids on instagram (66,488) (66,492) by RibbonB from USA First it was "Stellho" releasing shady videos of Mariah and her backup dancers, now her baby leech is releasing videos of Mariah's children? Expect CPS to get involved again before the series. Just a prediction. (Tuesday 20 September 2016; 1:09)

Glitter (66,491) by Bill from the UK That was a great article about Glitter. That album, sorry, "soundtrack", is so underrated and features some of my most favourite MC songs. If We, Don't Stop, Lead The Way, Loverboy and Never Too Far are great songs. The video for Loverboy still remains one of my faves all these years later. (Monday 19 September 2016; 22:43)

Re: Inspirational songs (66,481) (66,490) by MusicfanJ from Germany I love her sad songs too. "Close my eyes" and "Looking in" means everything to me. "I'm free" and "Everything fades away" are although healing in some way. (Monday 19 September 2016; 21:28)

Re: Dem kids on instagram (66,485) (66,489) by RibbonB from USA Well that is pathetic on the part of everyone involved. This kid needs to be supervised and stopped from posting videos of other children. (Monday 19 September 2016; 20:58)

Re: Empire song (66,484) (66,487) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter You are not alone, I'm here with you. Any new music from Mariah gets me excited. I'll try to stay calm though. I wonder why they decided to release the song ahead of her appearance though. As far as I know, it's usually released after the episode has been released although they do release some stuff earlier for promo. But come on, no one of Mariah's star level has ever been on Empire. Not even all the main casts combined is as famous as Mariah, so wouldn't they want to keep it under wraps for longer? But who knows, maybe it's a marketing tactic. We'll see. I just hope even if it's a ballad, it should have an uplifting chorus and signature Mariah ad-libs. (Monday 19 September 2016; 20:37)

Re: Mimi L. (66,478) (66,486) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha and don't forget about the frequent "you'll hear new music soon" announcements. (Monday 19 September 2016; 20:32)

Re: Dem kids on instagram (66,479) (66,485) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Here you go. Giving you an advance warning about potential headache due to little Bulochnikov moving the camera around so much. Waiting for the next installment featuring Miss Monroe singing "I'm Real". Just kidding. (Monday 19 September 2016; 20:31)
