Re: SA tour (67,516) (67,518) by RibbonB from USA Maybe Mexico had different promoters. It is actually in North America. Perhaps we will never know all the business dealings. (Wednesday 26 October 2016; 23:04)

Re: SA tour (67,514) (67,516) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter She is being torn apart as we speak. Her team as usual is mum and not actively fighting back to set the record straight. I don't understand how this issue arised just 2 days before the shows. Why didn't her manager get the transactions done before hand and how did this happen last minute? I feel really sorry for the fans who were super excited to see her. She did say she'll try to go there in 2017 so there's still hope. This time they should make sure they get the best promoters in the business. Also Mariah's team should really step up the promo game. I'm so over them just sitting on their behinds thinking her name is enough. I mean people at least need to be aware that Mariah is even coming to these places. Also I don't get why the entire leg was cancelled. I can understand how maybe the promoter of one of these places messed up, but how did all 3 countries mess up together? Yet they kept Mexico which apparently had the lowest ticket sales. I'm really curious to know what actually went wrong. So far it's very vague. Did the promoters just decide not to pay her? Did her team make last minute demands that they didn't want to put up with? I however don't think Mariah really just wanted to walk out of this for no big reason. Something big went wrong for her to cancel because she says she will perform even if 1 fan attends her shows. (Wednesday 26 October 2016; 20:50)

Re: SA tour (67,513) (67,515) by Carlos from Brazil I'm beyond devastated about the cancelation of the tour. We heard the tickets were at about 90% sold according to MariahNow. It would be the my first time seeing this legend live so I hope she comes back really soon. We're waiting for the refund now. (Wednesday 26 October 2016; 16:28)

Re: SA tour (67,513) (67,514) by Mara from United States Ok so apparently it was the promoters who broke the contract with Mariah. I hope they make that much more public so she doesn't get dragged in the media. (Wednesday 26 October 2016; 16:25)

SA tour (67,513) by Mara from United States Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I remember reading the fans in Brazile saying how bad the ticket situation was and they were desperately trying to get Stella's attention throughout social media. The economic situation is very bad there now and apparently the tickets were bought by those ticket companies and they raked up all the ticket costs or something like that. The fans were having a hard time affording the ticket costs therefore they were not selling that well. Now I don't know in terms of numbers how many actually sold but do you think as she stated it was a promotional thing? Low ticket sales? It's all just so weird sounding. We know she planned on flying out early and that is why she had her Halloween party early. It just doesn't sound right, only three days away. I hope she makes it up to those fans who were looking forward to seeing her for so very long. (Wednesday 26 October 2016; 15:29)

Butterfly - angel sound? (67,512) by Ben from Sweden Am I the only hardcore fan that may imply the sound of angel in Mariah's recordings of the Butterfly album? The last album before you think of vocal damage. Hehe I love Mariah. (Wednesday 26 October 2016; 14:46)

Re: Whenever You Call - your most listened to song? (67,489) (67,511) by darrian liu from taiwan Mine's a tie between Underneath The Stars and Languishing. My second most played song is Ribbon. Amazing songs. (Wednesday 26 October 2016; 12:09)

Re: What female should Mariah duet with? (67,495) (67,510) by darrian liu from taiwan Yes to this. I love Tori so much, she's my baby. (Wednesday 26 October 2016; 12:04)

Re: Whenever You Call - your most listened to song? (67,489) (67,509) by Terna from Nigeria Mine was a tie between "Vision of Love" and "The Art of Letting Go" according to iTunes. I actually play those two the most come to think of it. Lol. (Wednesday 26 October 2016; 10:51)

Re: What female should Mariah duet with? (67,488) (67,508) by Terna from Nigeria I would pick Brandy or Deborah Cox for an R&B song or Christina Aguilera for a ballad. These three after Whitney Houston are probably the only females who could actually keep up with Mariah vocally especially with the runs and not have her holding back too much like with Jussie. Ariana is a no for me though, her voice isn't Mature enough for a duet with such a hefty voice as Mariah's. (Wednesday 26 October 2016; 10:45)

Re: Most listened-to song (67,497) (67,507) by Merr Hasenan from Malaysia Can't figure it out, it is between Breakdown or Butterfly. Since it's released, I played Almost Home almost everyday. For years to come, I believe Almost Home is going to be in my list for the most listened-to song. (Wednesday 26 October 2016; 2:35)

Re: 1997 versus 2016 (67,482) (67,506) by Tevin from USA Yes I agree with you Mimi I, minus the boob job she looks exactly the same. I swear women never ages. (Wednesday 26 October 2016; 1:00)

Re: Whenever You Call - your most listened to song? (67,489) (67,505) by Manny from U.S. "Angels Cry" is probably my most listened to song. I love it. I like the way she sang it, the lyrics and the imagery. (Tuesday 25 October 2016; 23:44)

Re: Whenever You Call - your most listened to song? (67,489) (67,504) by Bill from the UK According to my iPod plays, Vision Of Love. It makes sense. Not a day goes by that I don't play it. The first and fairest of them all. (Tuesday 25 October 2016; 23:40)

Most listened to song? (67,503) by Ardis Logic from Earth Anytime You Need A Friend. (Tuesday 25 October 2016; 22:08)

Re: What female should Mariah duet with? (67,495) (67,502) by MusicfanJ from Germany Alicia Keys, two New York City girls could create magic. And Alicia could make a beautiful piano intro. (Tuesday 25 October 2016; 20:09)

Re: Whenever You Call - your most listened to song? (67,494) (67,501) by MusicfanJ from Germany Must be Fantasy. But "One Sweet Day" and "My All" come very close to it. (Tuesday 25 October 2016; 20:04)

Re: What female should Mariah duet with? (67,491) (67,500) by Malcolm from Asia I would love that too. By the way Nick Cannon clear the air for Mariah and Ariana today, he said: "It's interesting man, I could give you an exclusive on that because like what I've said, I've known Ariana for the longest and the thing that kinda launched her in the music space is when she did a Mariah cover and it went viral. And I was the one who actually showed it to Mariah, and she was like 'oh okay' like she didn't say it was not good or she didn't say it was good, she was like 'oh okay, I see her' like kinda you know given it a level-headed props, you know what I mean especially for Mariah 'cause she didn't dissed it. And I remember telling Ariana about it, I was like 'yow, she gave you the respect ' and she was like 'oh my gosh, she saw it? she saw it?' and this was before she was signed or anything. And then you know as Ariana started to get a little bigger, I think that's when she was like 'Mariah never likes anyone to be called the next Mariah' 'cause she was like 'why does it need to be a next, I'm right here' so I have to respect that, and then I think Ariana started to be like 'yow, I don't want to be the next anyone, I'm Ariana' so then there's started to be this thing. I think if they saw each other, they would be no beef you know, Mariah would step on Ariana haha, like Ariana is like the size of one of Mariah's diamonds haha." I know this "comparison" might started because of her management, like there's so many artists that did that I think, they would push in the comparisons to a big artist, so that specific artist will have a huge introduction to the industry and the public. But it gets bigger because of just the hype of the fans and treated as this non-existing "feud". So yeah I'm all for the Mariah-Ariana collab because I think this teens who idolizes Ariana are a big part of Mariah's bad reputation online, so like what Martyn said, it will lay the "feud" to rest once and for all and help introduce Mariah to a younger audience. It would be nice and lovely if Ariana will visit Mariah in Vegas. (Tuesday 25 October 2016; 19:51)

2017 - shatter the status suo (67,499) by Jeff from USA This is what I would love to see: 1. Ride the Christmas wave into the new year. The queen of Christmas will own the Beacon performances and AIWFCIY will go number one again. 2. Drop the shade. There is a beauty in humility that Mariah has deep inside. Let that shine through during interviews. 3. Sing the song. We will still love you if you need to drop to a lower key. If you can't hit the whistle note, don't. I would 100% rather hear the voice than to see the lip-synch. 4. Show love to the fans. Honey B. Fly, anyone? 5. Let's have a stone-groove smash hit. I would love a booming bass line and that mid-register. How about a ton of remixes? 6. Enjoy your time with Dem Babies. They are adorable. (Tuesday 25 October 2016; 19:00)

Female duet (67,498) by Jeff from USA I would love to see Mariah and Aretha together again. "Chain of Fools" from Divas Live is still my favorite of all the Divas' performances. (Tuesday 25 October 2016; 18:51)

Most listened-to song (67,497) by Jeff from USA Breakdown, of course. The voice, the lyrics, the harmonies. Such an amazing and ahead-of-her-time song. Makes me cry, brings me joy, everything. (Tuesday 25 October 2016; 18:49)

Re: Whenever You Call - your most listened to song? (67,489) (67,496) by B from USA Tie. Slipping Away and When I Saw You. (Tuesday 25 October 2016; 18:20)

Re: What female should Mariah duet with? (67,491) (67,495) by B from USA Tori Kelly. She's a talented singer-songwriter with an amazing voice. (Tuesday 25 October 2016; 18:18)

Re: Whenever You Call - your most listened to song? (67,489) (67,494) by Edouard from France Always Be My Baby, most played, most sung. Favorite song ever. (Tuesday 25 October 2016; 18:11)
