Re: Nick Cannon responds to TMZ (63,051) (63,056) by TRAVON AUSTIN from United States Duhhh. I know how tabloids and credible sources work and that's not what I was saying. It's the divorce conversation in general. Ok. How could we imply that the story is true to begin with if the source has always been speculated to be Nick Cannon himself? If he has publictly said he will never marry again and that he is trying to move on single, then why is there still speculation about the divorce? I believe they are divorced. They have been divorced. The surpreme court/marriage court would never allow or release this information to begin with and the parties themselves would be penalized for any involvement of speaking publictly while currently going through procedings. The so-called credible sources would also be subject to penalties by the court for trying to falsely accuse and speak about active legal proceedings, including TMZ. It's the law. Thanks for your two cents though and deuces. (Monday 6 June 2016; 1:56)

Re: Nick Cannon responds to TMZ (63,051) (63,054) by RibbonB from USA Exactly. TMZ is not reliable. M has said they are not signed but obviously custody at least isn't final. She said on access they are still hashing put school and I suspect the next portion of her tour. They both should think twice about the kids in South America, what with the Zika threat. Mariah has said herself in recent interviews that the papers are not signed. Maybe she won't sign his terms. One or two years is not uncommon. It took Demi and Ashton almost two years and [...] had zero kids together. (Monday 6 June 2016; 1:43)

Mariah Carey arriving and leaving after taping JK (63,053) by 123 from USA It was nice to see her take pics with fans here. (Monday 6 June 2016; 0:54)

Mariah Carey on new music (63,052) by 123 from USA Looks like she has some producers already lined up to work with her. (Monday 6 June 2016; 0:49)

Re: Nick Cannon responds to TMZ (63,049) (63,051) by Marissa from USA That doesn't mean that they are officially divorced. It could just mean that the reasoning that TMZ gave behind why Nick wasn't signing the papers was false. (Monday 6 June 2016; 0:42)

Diva term (63,050) by Billy from Greece Can anyone remember a good interview where Mariah explains a little more the term diva? Apparently, I've seen so many interviews of her and diva is mentioned in almost every single one of them, but I can't find the one I'm after. I'mm looking for the one where she says that she heard the term ever since she was a child, with her mother using it t refer to a talented singer. They talked about it with Whitney on Oprah in 1998, but I don't this one for my purposes right now. If anyone can help, thank you in advance. (Monday 6 June 2016; 0:33)

Nick Cannon responds to TMZ (63,049) by TRAVON AUSTIN from United States Before the confusion and bashing begins, I thought it could be avoided [...] letting all the diverse lambs know Nick Cannon responded immediately via twitter. "Nick Cannon at TMZ. Slow news day huh? Going back to the same well. How many times you all going to report this lie? Tell your so called 'sources' to call me." So the source of the divorce has confirmed it's a lie. So they are divorced guys. Lets move on and stop assuming they are not because of tabloids. TMZ is also known to be wrong. Not as much as other tabloids but it still happens with them. He admitted publictly during an interview about never marrying again and that solved the problem for me. They both have moved on with their single lives while co-parenting of course. Everyone needs a reason. Here it is. (Sunday 5 June 2016; 20:26)

Nick won't sign for divorce (63,048) by MusicfanJ from Germany What do you think about the news that Nick won't sign the papers for the official divorce? Does he still love Mariah or is it because of James Packer? (Sunday 5 June 2016; 19:51)

If We (63,047) by R&B Junkie from Poland I'm here to tell you all that the bass line of "If We" is one of the best of Mariah's catalogue, it fits the beat perfectly and add some funky feeling to the song. Period. (Sunday 5 June 2016; 18:55)

New Vegas leg (63,046) by Shezz from Pk I'm excited to see Mariah's new outfits for Vegas. She's in great shape. I'm sure she'll look great. Not holding my breath over any changes in the show though. (Sunday 5 June 2016; 18:53)

Vevo (63,045) by Lara from Middle East Did you notice they uploaded new videos on MariahCareyVevo? Among them there's the black and white version of AIWFC. I wished they will download the Glitter videos someday. (Sunday 5 June 2016; 18:18)

Deedre (63,034) (63,044) by Edward from USA Dear Deedre, I wasn't really addressing your post about Prince. It was just my opinion on the fact that many fans have wanted for Mariah to pull a Prince and go on her own, I think that wouldn't be a good idea. After Prince went his way, with his legend status and all, he didn't actually have any successful album afterwards. It's sad he had to die to find himself back on the charts again. That shouldn't happen to legends like him. (Sunday 5 June 2016; 17:41)

Re: Re: Who is Mariah Carey? (63,029) (63,035) (63,043) by RibbonB from USA It's been noted for years that her mom didn't like being in a lot of Marian's drama and public stuff. I can understand the logistics and timing of her not being in the 2008 wedding, but her mom was very present in important events during the marriage with the babies, anniversaries and she even used to tweet. Hopefully she is just laying low from all this current publicity, but as I said before, it was sad to see no family presence at Mariah's walk of fame. (Sunday 5 June 2016; 16:19)

Re: TMZ Mariah (63,036) (63,042) by RibbonB from USA TMZ is fake though. They flip with the wind or a check. Lol. (Sunday 5 June 2016; 16:11)

Wendy new season (63,041) by Chicago Lamb from USA Am I the only one who can't wait to see what Wendy has to say? (Sunday 5 June 2016; 16:09)

Re: Article: Gaga fans start petition to stop Madonna and Mariah (63,031) (63,040) by Andrew from UK Again, as with many lambs, the point is completely missed. Mariah didn't deserve that award as it's not a "gay people like you because you sing about inner-pain and where sparkly dresses" award. If you think about a music artist defending and fighting for gay rights you'd likely think of Gaga first. So, the Little Monsters got their little monster knickers in a twist with some over-the-top, pointless b**ching. To be expected, no? It's nothing short of the bleating some of the lambs here do every time another artist is mentioned in the same sentence as Mariah. If you think they sound ridiculous, well, they sound like Little Lambs. (Sunday 5 June 2016; 15:49)

Re: Brenda - JLo (63,003) (63,039) by Andrew from UK I'm sure I read that Mariah cut Brenda out of her life as Brenda fell on hard times financially and asked Mariah for money, who, obviously, refused. And then Brenda went public. Asking Mariah for money? That's like asking Trump for pearls of wisdom. (Sunday 5 June 2016; 15:40)

Re: The truth is usually somewhere in the middle (63,022) (63,038) by Andrew from UK So, basically, "I agree with Andrew"? (Sunday 5 June 2016; 15:36)

I am back / Mariah Carey (63,037) by TRAVON AUSTIN from United States Can I just say that Mariah Carey has been looking great lately, she has her confidence back and she is doing so much to prove to the world that she loves what she does. I understand that fans everywhere, including myself, are skeptical but at the end of the day, we want Mariah Carey to do well. I oftentimes find that every aspect of Mariah Carey's life is misunderstood by the public and fans. Mariah Carey is an individual who has been doing this for over 26 years and she is continuing to do so. She does not have the luxuries that most megastars, her age, had because of the new landscape of the entertainment industry. Despite this ever-changing circumstance of ageism, I have always admired her work ethic and I feel that's her desire to continue to work is under valued. The things that she could have done before she can't do anymore. I'm not saying that she can't do it because she is not able to on her terms. All I'm saying is times have changed and just like the rest of us, Mariah Carey has to adapt to these changes and has to made changes herself. I have noticed that, whenever Mariah Carey chooses not to adapt to changes all she is does is cause confusion and misunderstandings to everyone, including her fans. Even though I have been a fan since 2005, even I acknowledge that there have been many changes not just with Mariah Carey but the entertainment industry at large. There are things that we might not agree on when it comes to Mariah but accepting change is extremely important in any given circumstance. However, I am happy that she is taking a concern with herself and she is aligning her life in the right direction by making changes. It might not be perfect to everyone but it is working, in its own way, for Mariah Carey right now. (Sunday 5 June 2016; 7:09)

TMZ Mariah (63,036) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So TMZ posted this video on their channel and Harvey is going on and on about how he loves Mariah now. Previously he used to say bad stuff about her. But the thing is Mariah shows just one bit of her real side where people can relate to her and people immediately start praising her and feel like they can relate to her. This is what I keep saying that if Mariah would tone down the diva act and instead show the more real, intelligent and hilarious Mariah, people would fall back in love with her. Defensive fans, no need to get worked up, I said her "real" side because I still believe that buried deep beneath all the diva acts and the expensive gowns she wears to swim (haha joke) there still is the real, down to earth, intelligent and funny Mariah that people can relate to. So I am not telling her to be fake. I'm just show people the real Mariah and they won't be able to help but love her. (Sunday 5 June 2016; 6:44)

Re: Who is Mariah Carey? (63,029) (63,035) by Marissa from USA She did reference her mother as "the queen of Ireland" in a recent TMZ video, but it is very concerning that they haven't been seen together since 2013. I can't even fathom not speaking to my mother. She wasn't at the engagement, Hollywood Walk of Fame, or Vegas which were all huge enough moments to warrant a mother's visit. Ever since it was revealed that she wasn't in on the secret of her wedding to Nick, I've always questioned the strength of their relationship because it seems like having your mom there would be a non-negotiable. I hope their relationship is or gets healed and restored. (Sunday 5 June 2016; 5:18)

Re: The truth is usually somewhere in the middle (63,022) (63,034) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada I always enjoy your posts Edward. As far as the JLo and Mariah thing goes, at this point they are both giving it energy in their responses to media outlets, so I'm not expecting it to go away anytime soon. Probably a controversial view here, and I won't go into it too much because this is not a board for the type of discussion but honestly no one is a victim of anything. Whether we know it or not, we unconsciously create our experience by the way we respond to life. Mariah is not a victim. Jennifer is not a victim - they both play a role in how they choose to respond/react. What the world will say one must be "right" and the other must be "wrong". This is how we make sense of things. We categorize them which leads to conflict, division and blame cycle. What if it just is what it is and people left it alone without the "good" or "bad" labels attached? No more attacking Jennifer or Mariah just let them express and respond without the labels? We might think we have the full picture of someone's experience, but we never do. Truly. Lol. I'm not sure if you were addressing my earlier post about Prince Mariah and Marilyn, but I'm not waiting for Mariah to "do anything" or "go the way of anything". I mean sure, I'd love more music but I don't need her to have a hit or be relevant or relocatable to be happy. I love Mariah, her artistic genus inspires me, but I don't pin my happiness on her. My happiness isn't on anything external. That's an inside job. Though Mariah's music does bring me great joy, I actually require nothing of her. That probably sounds strange, oh well. Lol. If it were my choice, I wouldn't touch "reality" stuff with a ten foot poll. But it's not my choice, it's not my business. Mariah is going to do whatever is coming up for her, whether it's viewed as self-destructive or a train-wreck, or whether it's viewed as a constructive career move. We're not in control of any of that. I'm in no place to judge her. Even things that might appear to be damaging or self-sabotage have their purpose in the grand scheme of things. (Sunday 5 June 2016; 3:43)

Re: Brenda - JLo (63,027) (63,033) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Nowhere did I say that it was Mariah's fault. I said there was a rumor and if we take the rumor to be true, can or should Mariah be blamed for it? And I answered myself that "no" because she probably didn't know about it or even if she did, she couldn't do anything because she had to do what the suits told her to do. I am surprised people are getting so defensive about how Brenda wasn't talented enough. Chill, I don't even know any of Brenda's material, neither do I care about her career. It was an example based off a rumor. (Sunday 5 June 2016; 0:53)

Re: Article: Gaga fans start petition to stop Madonna and Mariah (63,005) (63,031) by B from USA Gaga panders to the gays. Just because Mariah hasn't pandered to a certain demographic doesn't mean she hasn't made an impact on them. If she wasn't deserving of the award she wouldn't have won it. Mariah Carey has always been a gay icon. (Sunday 5 June 2016; 0:45)

Re: Mariah Carey talks about J-Lo (radio interview) (63,028) (63,030) by B from USA Mariah shut it down on WWHL. She admitted they met in passing but that she doesn't actually know her. Let it go. It isn't that deep. It isn't gong to ruin Mariah's career or legacy. (Sunday 5 June 2016; 0:34)
