Messageboard

Zarina (64,272) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I keep hearing about how Zarina (Mariah's assistant/part of her management and a relative of Stella's) said that Stella made Mariah relevant again. I don't know the exact quote (if anyone knows please share it here). I just want to know if Mariah is aware that her own entourage implied that she was irrelevant before Stella arrived. Are we going to hear next that Stella taught Mariah how to sing? (Thursday 14 July 2016; 20:03)

The many faces of Mariah (64,271) by Natalia from Italy What is the deal with Mariah's face? [censored] She doesn't even look like the banner of this message board anymore. [censored] Am I wrong about this? Does anyone else thinks her face looks way different than it used to? Quite strange indeed. (Thursday 14 July 2016; 19:12)

Marriage and faith (64,270) by Butterfly from Tommy: First love Nick: Marriage and kids I get why she married Tommy and Nick. After two failed ones how can she do it again? Especially with her faith in God. She's taking marriage as a joke now. I'm afraid nobody in her life wants to save her. It will end bad. Tommy 2.0 but worse. With Michael Richardson, Rachel, Louise Mcnally, Morgan all gone I don't expect anybody in her life to step forward and tell her the truth. Stella and her crew are more worried about their luxury lifestyle and checks. Shawn her nephew seems like a narcissist and yes person. (Thursday 14 July 2016; 17:08)

Ample cleavage madness (64,269) by Natalia from Italy How many news stories have been written about this topic? I find it quite ludicrous. Is this really news? Is her cleavage really that ample? Is she paying for them to print these news stories? She seems to be quite obsessed with her boobs. (Thursday 14 July 2016; 17:01)

A little message to make everyone's day (64,268) by Tevin from USA So I was downloading music online yesterday legally, and I decided to download JLo's old song "Love don't cost a thing". Well it's funny because for some reason the title and the single showed up as unarmed lol. Guess my computer "does not know her as well". Have a great day people. (Thursday 14 July 2016; 13:44)

Just found this (64,267) by Haiji Toro from USA Enjoy. Mariah Carey live concert 2016. (Thursday 14 July 2016; 5:04)

Re: When is enough really enough? (64,265) (64,266) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I meant "hardly". And "I may still not completely agree". I wrote it in a rush. (Wednesday 13 July 2016; 21:29)

Re: When is enough really enough? (64,264) (64,265) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter It's easy to pick out a word from my messages and then say "hardly not". It's another thing to back up your opinions with your own points. I am all ears and open to different opinions. Case in point: I had blamed Nick a lot in the past but then I heard Licia's views and I tried looking at it from the other side. I may still don't completely agree with her about the Nick situation but hey at least when she wanted to disagree, she backed it up with valid points. (Wednesday 13 July 2016; 20:37)

Re: When is enough really enough? (64,263) (64,264) by Chicago Lamb from USA "Self destruct"? Hardly. (Wednesday 13 July 2016; 20:24)

Re: When is enough really enough? (64,260) (64,263) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Amen to that my friend. I too am eagerly waiting for Mariah to snap out of it and hopefully release some new music too. I love Mariah and her music has never disappointed me, I just hate to see her self destruct like this. (Wednesday 13 July 2016; 17:46)

Re: When is enough really enough? (64,259) (64,262) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter First right off the bat I'll say that Mariah has always tried to act like she young and all. This woman has been saying she's eternally 12 for years now. So no, she didn't act/dress young for Nick. She said two of the things that she loves so much about Nick and that helped them connect were him being spiritual/religious and that they were both kids at heart. Now moving on to the claim that Nick broke her down emotionally, in your previous post you said Nick ruined her image when he "met her". Now you are saying he ruined her emotionally which led her to hint at him being "unfaithful". While I too feel that maybe Nick cheated on her or she felt he did (which was the final straw because they were already drifting apart due to him being away most of the time), this happened post 2013. They were married from 2008 to 2013. Five years in which no one can tell me Mariah didn't look extremely happy and in love. The only instance when she looked a little unhappy (at least to us) was during the Barbara interview. But hey which married couple doesn't fight? My point is, yes, Nick may have cheated but he didn't break Mariah down emotionally when he met her. They had quite a few happy years together and during those years Mariah's image was not affected. She seemed like she broke down in 2014. That was around the end of her marriage and obviously it's hard on anyone to have a broken heart. Plus you said Mariah was uninspired during this duration, how do you explain Memoirs being her most critically acclaimed album and MIAM also being praised widely by both critics and fans alike? If you mean she was uninspired because her album tanked, it was not the material that was the problem. It was the promotion. We (including myself) tend to blame everything on everyone but Mariah, and that's not always true. I have blamed Nick before, I always blamed others too, but truth is if we can say Mariah is responsible for the good things in her career (that she knows exactly what she wants) we have to accept that maybe Mariah is also partially responsible for the bad things that happen too.

Re: When is enough really enough? (64,259) (64,261) by RibbonB from USA You don't know what happened. Perhaps she hurt him. It's all speculation. James is likely the wolf to worry about for sure, right here and now. Follow the money especially in that industry. Gambling, Scientology, lots of money make for a really deep rabbit hole for Mariah to get lost in. (Wednesday 13 July 2016; 17:35)

Re: When is enough really enough? (64,256) (64,260) by MusicfanJ from Germany Mimi L so true. I don't want anything similiar to Katrashian. At the beginning Mariah was just sweet, humble and a bit shy. Then she became a princess and the biggest female smash-hit superstar. Then the diva, she showed humor but was always classy. In the latest pics it's hard to recognize her. It must be the "bad" influence but I'm not sure if it's only because of her strange management. Maybe it's just a phase and we will get "our" Mariah back. I'd love to hear new music. (Wednesday 13 July 2016; 17:06)

Re: When is enough really enough? (64,255) (64,259) by Lance from Jones Nick ruined it for her by breaking her down emotionally. Mariah really loved him and did not judge him at all. Something big must have happened for them to divorce. Usually when couples have kids then they try to work it out but to divorce means something really big has happened. Mariah hinted about cheating in her live performance and that could be a possibility. Nick was supposed to be her saviour after the TM marriage. "You supposed to save me my sweet baby but you faded away. But you gona know how this feels even if this the last thing I ever do." Those lyrics are deep and she was obviously hinting yet not giving it away. Even "Art of letting go" and "Infinity" had strong messages through the lyrics. She trusted him and something went wrong. She must have been really hurt by whatever because to have kids with someone and divorce is saying alot. Whatever pain he put her through resulted in her not being productive and focused. Instead, she tried to compensate by acting like a teenager, trying to look young and feel special because whatever Nick did was not making her happy. Instead of trying to prove herself musically, she focused her energy on trying prove that she is hot and still young. She could not see by doing this it made her look like a sheep in lamb's clothing. When the person you love hurts you then some people cannot handle the emotions and lose focus on their work and creativity because they are not happy on an emotional level. This is what Nick did to her. (Wednesday 13 July 2016; 17:04)

Re: When is enough really enough? (64,252) (64,257) by RibbonB from USA Nick gets shoes and suits from designers to wear for free just like many entertainers. That is no big deal. He works hard and gets lots of deals just like Mariah does. Besides the turban, he usually dresses better than Mariah and James combined. Nick is trying to be peaceful in this break up lately, so people should leave him in peace. When he and Mariah were happy he was her biggest champion and cheerleader. Now they both have to little wonders to raise, who I hope wont be terribly affected by all the whirl wind that is M's world. Mariah showed more stability, and comfort while they were happy, at one point she even said Nick was nurturing to her, just like her mother was. My how things have changed. But they usually change again, so there is that. (Wednesday 13 July 2016; 16:36)

Re: When is enough really enough? (64,252) (64,256) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I don't think Nick made her image cheap. Nick was a blabber mouth and a little crazy (with him giving out the number and all) but they quickly became termed as a "power couple". Memoirs was one of Mariah's classiest eras. She seemed happy, looked great and dressed fairly well too. If Mariah's image has become cheap, it is recently with all the stunts she and her team are pulling. Her social media has become a joke, her clothes are horrible and vulgar, her interviews don't have any substance. (I mean really this is the best selling music artist and people and all her interviews are just about the size of her ring? How is that different from the Kardashians?) Articles are making fun of her because of this. This is the cheapest her image has ever been. (Wednesday 13 July 2016; 16:26)

Re: When is enough really enough? (64,252) (64,255) by Licia from USA How does Nick get blamed for decisions that Mariah made? Lol. Anyway imo with the exception of the album cover, the Memoirs era turned out to be better image wise than E=MC2 and Nick was around then. She was promoting the album, dressing nicely, and she had a few lucrative side deals. How did he ruin anything for her? Lol. (Wednesday 13 July 2016; 16:09)

Love what you wrote Marissa, perfect (64,254) by Anonymous from I love what you wrote Marissa, perfect. (Wednesday 13 July 2016; 11:55)

Re: When is enough really enough? (64,244) (64,252) by Lance from Jones I totally agree with that. Her image became very cheap when she met Nick and now he has made a 2 million dollar shoe with diamonds on it. I don't know what point he is trying to prove here. (Wednesday 13 July 2016; 11:51)

Re: In all honesty (64,240) (64,251) by THE TRUTH from USA Marissa, brava. Brilliantly said. I am ecstatic to see something so poignantly phrased clear and to the point. It renews my faith in this board to see this post, uncensored and hitting home. It is such a shame that mainstream media chooses to obscure this viewpoint and dwell on neo-liberal dribble. I know we would all love to see Mariah take a stand for BLM as we would have loved to see her express her sadness and solidarity with the victims and their families in Orlando. (Wednesday 13 July 2016; 5:20)

Social media (64,250) by Dennis from Miami, FL I don't think that Mariah has to be vocal on the social media about current events. There are too many people talking and nothing more than that. I would rather prefer her recording Strange Fruit or facilitating negotiations like James Brown did in the 70's. (Wednesday 13 July 2016; 4:22)

Re: Mariah and dem babies (64,233) (64,249) by RibbonB from USA Yes Mimi L., don't you love Monroe as a mermaid? Cute moments. (Wednesday 13 July 2016; 2:09)

Re: In all honesty (64,237) (64,248) by RibbonB from USA Of course, but no one should take offense to black lives matter either, yet Rudy Guiliani and countless others have tried to turn it into something negative. Marissa hit the nail on the head with her response. The reason people checked Maxwell was the context not the sentiment. But the real point of my post is people will clap back at celebrities who dare to jump in the mix of current events. It just is what it is. (Wednesday 13 July 2016; 1:54)

Re: When is enough really enough? (64,244) (64,247) by RibbonB from USA Oh please Nick is a good guy and he did try to help his wife at every turn. Just because James is rich doesn't mean he is helping her image. In fact look how cheap he and his team are encouraging her to act, reality show and all. (Wednesday 13 July 2016; 1:50)

Re: When is enough really enough? (64,244) (64,245) by Sarah from Netherlands I wish people would stop blaming Nick for E=MC2. It went well for a little while, and when she disappeared it was because she miscarried, we know this now. Let it go already. After that she tried to to back to what she does best both with Memoirs and MIAM. I think she really stopped caring after MIAM. This was a very personal album, it tanked. I wouldn't be surprised if she feels abandoned by the fans tbh for not supporting the album. Now she just chooses the tried and true (read: safe) road: that of greatest hits shows and cheap celebrity. But you know, all we can do is speculate about what's currently going on. I digress. My point: stop blaming Nick. At least back then she was writing and still about the music. A little ditzy, but expressed through music nonetheless. (Wednesday 13 July 2016; 1:05)
