Can we address the elephant in the room? (64,758) by Marissa from USA Regarding the video Mimi L just posted, why is it that Mariah can never go out and have fun without getting wasted? Every. Single. Time. I've never seen her leave a club looking even slightly in control of herself. I'm sorry, but at 46, this is not normal. If every time someone went out to eat, they wouldn't stop eating until they threw up, we would say that they had a problem, but if she gets f***** up every time she goes to the club without fail, she's just "living her life?" Can someone please explain to me how sweating, slurring words and stumbling can still be appealing to take part in at almost 50? I think if you drink to that level often, you are running from something. (Thursday 28 July 2016; 21:43)

Re: If it's over (64,755) (64,757) by Adam from Usa Funny. As soon as someone mentioned it I played the Unplugged version on my way to work today. That song is amazing. (Thursday 28 July 2016; 21:14)

I Will Survive (64,756) by Will from England Nice to see Mariah singing this song. And sharing the mic with another female? Fantastic. (Thursday 28 July 2016; 20:01)

Re: If it's over (64,744) (64,755) by TJ from Norway You should listen to the Saturday night live version. In my opinion, the best ever. Always loved that song and it has been my number one since 1991. (Thursday 28 July 2016; 19:57)

Second hand embarrassment (64,754) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ugh why must these be leaked? Haha even Stella seems embarrassed here. (Thursday 28 July 2016; 19:26)

Illoominaughty fans (64,753) by RibbonB from USA Look a fan video just for the illoominaughty fans or the llluminati homage paying fans and divas who cater to them. Let the apocalypse begin. (Thursday 28 July 2016; 18:20)

Re: Celine the fashionista (64,750) (64,752) by Andrew from UK Because Mariah doesn't get her confidence from looking stylish, she gets it from feeling that men are physically attracted to her. Two very different types of women. Agreed Celine is looking pretty classy and respectable these days. (Thursday 28 July 2016; 17:38)

Racis. (64,751) by G.G. from USA He can't stop the racism, that's who he is. He admitted he voted for Brexit, and we know why most Brits did. Oh, whilst. I had to throw whilst in there to sound intelligent. Heil Andrew. (Thursday 28 July 2016; 17:15)

Celine the fashionista (64,750) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Celine Dion has hired a new stylist, Law Roach and seems like he has turned her into an overnight fashionista by picking out the most chic and trendy with a touch a edgy outfits. The Internet has taken note of this too and I checked out the photos and I loved her new style. A soft yellow overcoat with thigh high Balmain boots, a chic short dress and all that. Shows that with the right stylist, anyone can achieve the fashion icon role, but one has to agree to try something new. Mariah could do the same. I mean the woman has all the money in the world then why show up to red carpets in lingerie or tacky outfits? (Thursday 28 July 2016; 16:22)

Re: Glitter (64,745) (64,748) by RibbonB from USA Yeah there is something very odd about a young teen at all adult events all the time. (Thursday 28 July 2016; 15:19)

Re: Sorry and not sorry (64,746) (64,747) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ok can the racism stop please? This is really unnecessary. (Thursday 28 July 2016; 15:03)

Re: Sorry and not sorry (64,741) (64,746) by Andrew from UK Again, with this lol you're way too clever for me, Latifah. Red and blue and white. And blond hair and white skin in the sunshine in summertime. I know you probably don't know anyone with blond hair and white skin but we do exist. We just don't want to live near you lol. I have other photos of myself. I'll send them to you. C/o which ghetto shall I address it? Lol yeah we can all act like teenagers. If you can't attack my arguments feel free to do what you need to do. You ain't clever, m'kaaay? M'kay. (Thursday 28 July 2016; 13:39)

Re: Glitter (64,742) (64,745) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha no that isn't Roman Polanski, he does look like him though. Regardless, it's weird she is at an all adult's table when none of the kids are there. (Thursday 28 July 2016; 13:11)

If it's over (64,744) by Lee from UK I have been re-discovering some of Mariah's best live vocal performances and this one from 1992 is my all-time favourite. This song just builds and builds until it reaches it's climax at 2:30. There is a plethora of pleasing, well-controlled vocal runs, not a note out of place and a satisfying ending. Where did this Mariah go? If someone wants to make a petition about bringing this Mariah back, I will sign it a million times. (Thursday 28 July 2016; 11:08)

Re: Glitter (64,736) (64,742) by RibbonB from USA More importantly, isn't that convicted pedophile Polanski sitting across from a 12 year old MB? He is probably salivating and not about the dinner. The company people keep. I could be wrong about that being Polanski, but he sure does look like him. (Thursday 28 July 2016; 3:41)

Re: Sorry and not sorry (64,660) (64,741) by 123 from USA You don't know how to airbrush? I'm sure you know how to use a filter on your smartphone. Fools can figure out how to use them so I'm sure you're a pro. You are really trying to pass that pic as a candid? With those unnatural colors that do not exist in the real world? Or maybe in a Complex Magazine world? No dark roots you say, it's the "lighting". I didn't know lighting could make dark hair blond and vice versa. Let me try, nope, still dark. It's ok, in the words of Bianca, "You keep pretending, and we'll keep believing." (Thursday 28 July 2016; 3:15)

Complex and Clash (64,740) by 123 from USA Both great promotional pieces. While one article seemed more fluff, the other was what we have all been salivating for, a real interview. It was like she returned to form. I love that she sang during the interview (proving her talent), talked about other artists (2Pac, The Weeknd, Michael Jackson, Prince), I still wish she got to do a song with 2Pac. I read that he played her debut album over and over again to the point where people questioned why he did, "Man, you wouldn't understand." 2Pac was a lamb. I love the inclusion of the comments of other musical collaborators discussing her musicality. I love how they just quietly snuck in that she's been working on the album since the beginning of the summer like she said she would. I wonder if she will record again during the August leg of her residency like she did in June. Maybe call the album "The Vegas Sessions". Confirming that even Michael was stifled in the Sony days to only make big mainstream records. Her finally discussing how she creates music again. Her guiding each producer to the sound she wants them to create. Her recognizing that it's a different musical landscape and how money is made now versus the 90s. She really is doing everything she should be doing as an artist. Promotion, insightful interviews, new pics, touring, side projects (Hallmark), and recording new music. Here is hoping she has music ready to release to coincide with the docuseries. Good job Illumi, I mean Stella and Co. Lol. (Thursday 28 July 2016; 3:07)

Re: Glitter (64,736) (64,739) by Giselle UrbanPoshBeauty from US of A Tacky, listening to her own music this is all the time. Drinking and why is that child always hanging around Mariah and all these adults? Doesn't she have young ones her age? Mariah isn't herself, she's full of herself now. (Thursday 28 July 2016; 2:55)

Complex (64,738) by Giselle UrbanPoshBeauty from US of A No shade but I was getting Wendy Williams vibes in every picture. Mariah is starting to favor tacky Wendy Williams, it's the blonde hair and tacky pantyhose and those drag shoes. That's all. (Thursday 28 July 2016; 2:51)

Poor Mimi (64,737) by Giselle UrbanPoshBeauty from US of A Every time I see a candid shot of her she's got a glass in her hand. She's listening to her own music at restaurants/clubs like some narcissistic (s/p). She's forever in some tacky pantyhose now and some bloody awful outfit. Her facial fillers are making her age badly. She keeps Stella and her wannabe Khardisans (s/p) daughter around because they tell her everything she wants to hear. I've never seen where she's on vacation with her fiancé and yet her manager and kids and entourage are always around. I'm shocked Jimmy Packer sticks around. Mariah is way over the top, she probably has Stella there in her room while she's making out with Packer. Mariah is lost and a lush, poor Mimi. I love you Mariah but truth hurts. (Thursday 28 July 2016; 2:44)

Glitter (64,736) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Oh my gosh that's "Glitter" being played in the background. Haha is Mariah finally acknowledging this gem after so may years. (Thursday 28 July 2016; 1:20)

New lamb (64,735) by EmotionsLamb from USA Hi Lambs. It's emotionslamb here and, I just wanted to say hello to everyone on the board. I always read alot of the posts here but never created an account. I've been seeing loads of good things, and some not so good. As a result I decided to join and speak out. (Thursday 28 July 2016; 0:48)

Re: Theme (64,733) (64,734) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter If she wants a comeback in any capacity, she will have to set everything up in advance. This is where Stella can show what she is capable of, if she is capable at all, apart from partying and getting her name in the magazine articles alongside Mariah. Mariah should learn by now that just by using her name she can't get commercial success on new projects. Yes people will still pay good money to watch her in Vegas and tours for the nostalgia, but for her to push her new material, she can't rely on her brand. She needs to not only woo back her original listeners but also appeal to the newer, younger audiences (if she wants another successful era). But even success aside, the cheapening of her image needs to stop and if she is really the diva who loves everything luxurious, she needs to act like she has the budget to pull of luxurious visuals. And no that doesn't mean her laying half naked dripping in diamonds. We all know she can do that everyday. (Thursday 28 July 2016; 0:39)

Re: Theme (64,730) (64,733) by RibbonB from USA I doubt Mariah has anything that well planned out. First Beyonce's success was because of a well orchestrated and secret concept to create music and associated videos. I wrote about Lemonade here when it first came out and I was instantly impressed. Mariah's problem is she lives and works like a focus group, where she leaks and teases and tries to drum up internet interest. She does not seem to have the confidence to work, write and film privately. The past year has been a public, spectacle of excess. If she pulls off a unique surprise it won't be anything like what she has been putting out this past year. (Wednesday 27 July 2016; 21:39)

Illuminati (64,732) by Giovanni from USA If Mariah did in fact join the Illuminati then we definitely should be expecting that next number one. I guess desperate times call for desperate measures. (Wednesday 27 July 2016; 21:29)
