Re: Mariah Carey's HIV+ sister (65,856) (65,864) by Martyn from England, UK I completely agree, the way the media repeatedly refer to her status for clicks is disgusting. I can understand why it is mentioned with regards to her alleged crime, but there's no need to prefix her name with it in every headline. Gross, trashy journalism. (Saturday 3 September 2016; 22:32)

M.'s nephew tweets (65,863) by RibbonB from USA I noticed Shawn sub-tweeted about his uncle, that he doesn't know what he is talking about and he sells stories for money because he is old, broke and sad. Same message he tweeted when Morgan first put out his "blackmail" video last summer. It is extra insulting when Morgan claims he is in Italy because he fears for his life from M. or her fans. LMAO. He is both feeding off of his sick sister A's misfortune and off of his rich sister M. Family can often hurt you the most. What must their mother be thinking? (Saturday 3 September 2016; 20:08)

Re: Will Mariah extend her Vegas residency? (65,822) (65,862) by Mirage from Unicornatopia Yes, it has boosted her profile Marissa. I hope she does another year of it. (Saturday 3 September 2016; 18:21)

Article: Mariah Carey and Jennifer Lopez together on stage? (65,861) by JT from USA B from USA, you're absolutely right. Story planted by Medina. (Saturday 3 September 2016; 18:11)

Article: Mariah Carey wants a breast "reduction" (65,860) by JT from USA Lol all you people pretending you know about nodules and surgery and the outcome and the side effects etc. Seriously? (Saturday 3 September 2016; 18:10)

Re: Mariah Carey fala de Ariana Grande, Lady Gaga, Mad (65,845) (65,858) by Chicago Lamb from USA No beef between these two. Mariah gives Madonna career props all the time. (Saturday 3 September 2016; 17:15)

Re: Alison's advertisement (65,855) (65,857) by B from USA You couldn't afford my sweet sweet fantasy, baby. (Saturday 3 September 2016; 17:12)

Mariah Carey's HIV+ sister (65,856) by Andrew from UK The advert is awful. She is a prostitute and a drug addict, yes, but she ought not to be demonised or overly harshly admonished for this. Some people make all the wrong choices in life. Some people have naturally addictive personalities, whether it be to alcohol, chems or sex, which they find difficult to control. It's a disease from which they suffer not from which they prosper and it incrementsally becomes more serious leading to more desperate behaviour - such as using your sister's self-penned lyrics to sell yourself, an act which is likely to have been committed to directly seek media coverage and Mariah's attention. If Mariah doesn't feel able to help her sister then that's her business. Nobody is privy to what has gone on between them. It is of great shame, however, that Alison is referred to in every news story as "Mariah Carey's HIV positive sister". What does Alison's HIV status have to do with anything? The inclusion of this information in the context in which it is written serves to directly infer that being HIV positive is something of which to be ashamed, something for which to be admonished, something that stains your character, and so on. Whether it's because she is a prostitute or not I don't know, but it's simply nasty journalism and it is not in the public interest. The statement asking anyone who has had sex with her to go get tested is ridiculous and simply trying to instill more shock and disgust. If you have unprotected sex with a visibly drug-ruined, older prostitute, do you really need a reminder to go get tested? It's almost as if the inference here is that the evil Alison is going around happily infecting poor, helpless, kerb-crawling men. What vicious nonsense. She's already in the gutter. She doesn't need to be pissed on, too. That's a chargeable extra, after all. (Saturday 3 September 2016; 17:07)

Re: Alison's advertisement (65,841) (65,855) by Andrew from UK Thanks for your personal statement but where's Alison's advert? (Saturday 3 September 2016; 16:26)

Re: Chaka Khan'vocals are iffy also (65,851) (65,854) by RibbonB from USA Relevancy is relative and my point about Chaka wasn't even about relevancy, it was about vocal strength. They all have bad nights, but yes these ladies are seasoned live singers and Mariah seems to have to work harder at what she does. Mariah also pampers her voice for the level of live shows that she performs, where Chaka in particular has been performing for two to three decades longer and she has abused her voice, yet she can still blow. it's not even a diss to Mariah, just an observation. Mariah has a more fragile voice after less than 25 years of professional performing. If she is still performing live at age 60 plus with the strength and regularity of Chaka, Aretha or Patti then great, but she will likely be lipping all of her performances by then, and that is cool too, she is still Mariah and she has her own appeal.

Re: Yours / unreleased songs (65,852) (65,853) by Licia from USA This is one of my favorite songs from CB. Although I'm not a huge fan of Justin Timberlake I can't deny his talent and I hate that he and the record company were butt holes and would not release the duet version. I'm sure it would have sounded nice. I agree about the unreleased songs. I'd buy that over another greatest hits but any day. (Saturday 3 September 2016; 14:41)

Yours / unreleased songs (65,852) by MusicfanJ from Germany I "rediscovered" this song. It has such a sweet, romantical mood. Especially the end pure Mariah. Did you know that there's a version with Justin Timberlake? Never heard because Justin didn't like to be on a single with MC after the "Glitter debacle". Maybe he feared bad promotion for him. However I wish we could get a cd with all the songs Mariah recorded but never get a chance for a release on cd. I'm sure there are a lot of songs that should be heard. This little Micheal Bolton snippet on YouTube is so great for example. (Saturday 3 September 2016; 12:39)

Re: Chaka Khan'vocals are iffy also (65,851) by Sheila from United States [...] but anytime we need clarification on Ms. Khans vocals check her performance with Kanye [...] where she was "fragile" vocally. [...] women are "older" than [...] and seasoned live performers. In the current state only Madonna and Mariah are mentioned in 2016. Celine [...] was in that league but her star has dimmered. (Saturday 3 September 2016; 11:53)

Madonna (65,850) by Musti from UK A friend of mine who is a huge Madonna fan said to me once that Mariah actually went to a Madonna concert and that they took a photo together backstage. I believe it was the Confessions Tour. I searched high and low for this pic but could never find it. Unfortunately I'm not in touch with that friend anymore. Now that we are talking about Madonna, can anyone confirm this? I don't think it was true and I'm not too bothered either way. But it'd be nice to know. (Saturday 3 September 2016; 8:57)

Re: Mariah Carey (65,845) (65,849) by Haiji Toro from USA Thanks RJJ12, you're sweet. I've never seen that interview. I wish she had more to say though. I just think the guy interviewing her kind of ruined the question by inputting his own negative and unnecessary opinion, when it was really wasn't needed. I've noticed that the media will definitely fuel a fire just for the drama. It's such a shame that if they were gonna speak about another artist, instead of putting them against each other, they should just give room for someone's own opinion. This is one of the major problems we have in the music industry. Why does every artist need to rival each other and not be great in their own way? (Saturday 3 September 2016; 4:35)

Re: Mariah Carey fala de Ariana Grande, Lady Gaga, Mad (65,845) (65,848) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I always thought she was talking about TEOM. I didn't see the interview when it aired. I saw it years later, I thought she was talking about TEOM as I thought the interview was during the time Mariah and Madonna had an album out during 2005-06. Thanks for clarifying it's for TMB. I think Mariah and Madonna can both acknowledge that they have paved the way for so many artists, even ones we see today. It's nice seeing them have respect for each other. (Saturday 3 September 2016; 2:57)

Re: Will Mariah extend her Vegas residency? (65,786) (65,847) by 123 from USA Well her two year contract is up, so that's good news because if she re-signs, hopefully it will be next year when she has new music so she can perform a whole new show and not be tied to the #1s. It was so nostalgic to hear her sing the first 4 singles as she hardly gives the other 3 the time of day, but I'm ready for a show where she implements rare songs and more uptempos. So I'm all for a new Vegas show with a different theme. (Saturday 3 September 2016; 2:44)

Re: Vegas has made Mariah a better performer (65,781) (65,846) by 123 from USA Thanks Deedre I appreciate that. I love your post as well and how hard you go for Mariah. I'm on the same boat with you. I focus on what has improved as I come here to escape life's dramas. (Saturday 3 September 2016; 2:40)

Re: Mariah Carey fala de Ariana Grande, Lady Gaga, Mad (65,782) (65,845) by 123 from USA Thank you Haiji Toro. She respects Madonna and even though Madonna started the shade in the past and they are still competitive with each other, I believe they have left the past behind. Here is Madonna saying she likes Mariah's new record (TMB). Just for you. (Saturday 3 September 2016; 2:38)

Re: Hero (65,825) (65,844) by 123 from USA From my observation its VOL, IBT, OSD, and TGIFU that are completely live. You can always check thediaryofMariahCarey. They only post the live moments. (Saturday 3 September 2016; 2:35)

Re: Chaka Khan (65,839) (65,843) by RibbonB from USA I would argue that these other ladies are relevant and they have been singing for decades longer with strong command of their voices and singing live for them is second nature, not constant smoke and mirrors. Mariah lacks their confidence. I love them all, but Marian's voice is more fragile than theirs. (Saturday 3 September 2016; 0:49)

Morgan (65,842) by B from USA Morgan wasn't instrumental in Mariah getting her record deal, Brenda was. However, Morgan introduced her to Ben who had Mariah sign a deal entitling him to part of het future earnings. (Saturday 3 September 2016; 0:35)

Alison's advertisement (65,841) by B from USA "I'm a pretty lady looking for guys who are looking to have some fun and get into a world of pleasure that other woman just can't provide (to) you, woman with the ability to make the earth move for you and to get you to see stars, oh yea with me (it's) [...]. " (Saturday 3 September 2016; 0:30)

Re: Toned body (65,830) (65,840) by B from USA It isn't cellulite. It's just an unflattering angle. (Saturday 3 September 2016; 0:27)

Re: Chaka Khan (65,833) (65,839) by B from USA The difference between Mariah and Patti, Aretha and others is she's remained relevant and hasn't bothered taking care of her instrument until the Rockefeller debacle. That incident was a blessing because it caused Mariah to start taking her performances seriously and forced her to take better care of her voice. (Saturday 3 September 2016; 0:26)
