Clapback at Wendy Williams (62,721) by Nick from Maryland I think it's pretty obvious that Mariah didn't even write the whole "He's the bitch that's fragile. Don't come for us unless we call for you" line as her version of shade is paying Wendy dust, which is what she has been doing. Obviously something Stella wrote since it's also on her Instagram. Just starting more unneeded drama that makes Mariah look bitter. (Friday 27 May 2016; 6:04)

Re: success has many colors (62,720) by Nikki from usa I fail to see how attaching yourself to any empire, which its sole purpose is to create money, is a sign of "passion". "Kathy Ireland" and "Jessica Simpson" don't perpetuate their businesses, the companies and teams they signed on with do. Just like Mariah's deal with Elizabeth Arden for her perfume empire. The leading ad-on comes up with ideas, does their part, and leaves it to the company to perpetuate and get it out there. If Mariah was simply after money she wouldn't be making TV movies with the Hallmark Channel. That's laughable. She'd be interested in making an empire. Last time I checked she gave us Triumphant and folks didn't like it. People claimed they wanted Mariah vocals and a piano. We got it, yet, more complaints. More whining ensued about a more mature album, she gave that too, and no one bought it. She gave out her old hits with something "different and new" like people claimed they wanted with Infinity. More complaining. Now, we're demonizing Mariah for getting involved with interests she's talked about for years because, apparently, she's doing too many things. Which has now been chalked up to greed. She gave 25 years, that's a quarter of a century, of giving us music. I think she's allowed to spend a few years dabbling in other hobbies without being labeled greedy just because you want new music right now. I don't know how anyone can take on 5 hats of a movie project, nearly doing it themselves, and call that not passionate. That's a lot of time and energy to devote to something you don't give a crap about. The big picture is certainly not being grasped when my whole point is these things are platforms to distribute new music from while the complaint is she's doing these things instead of pushing new music.

These people (62,719) by Marissa from USA Now we all know that Mariah's been paying Wendy dust since she mentioned her in TMB eight years ago. Now her latest Instagram video has Wendy Williams tagged in it. I'm pissed. Wendy is one of those people who will say the most ridiculous things about you because she is hoping and praying that you will pay attention to her. Now the Bulochnikovs have thrown this heifer a bone which is exactly what she wanted instead of giving her the J-Lo treatment. I hope I don't get nauseous when I see Wendy's cheesy ass grin whenever she reports on this. She's gonna think Christmas came early. When will "these people" go away? (Friday 27 May 2016; 3:15)

Re: Hallmark Channel deal: desperate or good business? (62,705) (62,718) by Andrew from UK "Mariah has proven herself as an actress." Mariah is to acting what J.Lo is to singing. Actually that's a little unfair on J.Lo. Mariah is to acting what Mariah is to lip-syncing. She's awful. Everybody knows she's awful. The only person who doesn't seem to know she is awful is Mariah, herself. It is an ego trip gone too far. Precious involved a few minutes of donning awful make-up and acting pissed off. It was okay, in that it was surprising, because it wasn't totally terrible. Wise Girls? Terrible acting. Glitter? Terrible acting. That crap road movie? Terrible acting. A Christmas Melody? Terrible acting and terrible everything else. Why is nobody grabbing her by the cheeks and screaming, "You can't f**king act. Stop embarrassing yourself." Mariah Carey is a singer-songwriter and a pretty good one, and she would do well to remember it and go and bloody do it. I would not be surprised if Hallmark are praying for these movies to be absolutely awful. Because they would become cult classics. Joe Public wants to see the vain Mariah Carey make an ass of herself. And here she is directing herself bloody doing it. Something is rotten in the state of Denmark. (Friday 27 May 2016; 3:04)

Re: This wacko fan is back at it again (62,686) (62,717) by Andrew from UK The trains don't go where you live, do they? It's nice they let you have some supervised tablet-time, though. (Friday 27 May 2016; 2:47)

Re: Celine vs Aretha and Patti (62,677) (62,716) by Andrew from UK That ol' chestnut. Been a little while since that one's been given an airing. "Holding back out of respect." Hmmm. Right. It wasn't the frickin' Aretha Franklin tribute show. Were all the singers supposed to stand next to Aretha and half-ass into the microphone to make Aretha feel better? Aretha Franklin, who visibly and audibly wanted people to bounce off and sing with her properly. Please, let's all just start being a little more honest. Mariah, arguably smashed it on Chain Of Fools, depending, probably on what you were looking for, it being a good song for her. Mariah's voice strained and cracked on Natural Woman and it was a cringe few minutes. Celine smashed it. Everyone can bloody see and hear it. "Holding back out of respect" is so desperately transparent there's some sort of Windex joke here somewhere. (Friday 27 May 2016; 2:42)

Re: Lee's video (62,704) (62,715) by RibbonB from USA Oh sorry thought you were talking about the radio interview. The Wendy show comments are also on her twitter. (Friday 27 May 2016; 2:37)

Re: Celine vs Aretha and Patti (62,696) (62,714) by Andrew from UK So Celine was so good it must have been lip sync even though she doesn't look like she's lip syncing. She's just too good at it, and isn't. And the industry picks on Mariah. So essentially, Celine, good - Mariah, victim. Mariah's a victim. Again. Another day another crock of shit. (Friday 27 May 2016; 2:30)

Funny Mariah (62,713) by Licia from USA I love the little videos from her and Lee on IG. It wasn't shady, it was just funny. I hope the realitydocuseries has moments like that. We don't see enough of funny Mariah. The world needs to know she's more than darlings and shade. (Friday 27 May 2016; 1:43)

Re: Hashtag (62,710) (62,712) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter It is mainly their nicknames for each other. Lee is "Cotton" and Mariah is "Kitten". I forgot why it started but ya it's what they nicknamed each other. If Stella has the hashtag in her account then it's possible the photo has Mariah and Lee. (Friday 27 May 2016; 0:54)

Re: Hashtag (62,710) (62,711) by Licia from USA Lee and Mariah have called themselves cotton and kitten since they started working together. They used to post the hashtag all the time on Twitter whenever they were together. (Friday 27 May 2016; 0:42)

Hashtag (62,710) by Lara from Middle East Mariah reposted Lee Daniel 's video on instagram. They both used the hashtag "the adventures of cotton and kitten". I've seen this hashtag before on some of Stella's pic and maybe Mariah (if I'm not mistaken). Anyone else noticed this? (Thursday 26 May 2016; 23:34)

Re: Stella (62,701) (62,709) by MusicfanJ from Germany The "real" Mariah is sweet and even a bit shy. Nobody can be an actor for let's say 13 years. People can change but you see if somebody is with the innerself or just playing to feel more confident. I know some people who look sexy and don't feel so. But if you get hurt, you will not show how you really feel. It's more safe. Look at Lady Gaga I'm sure in private she's not so "crazy". But it's dangerous if you believe the created character is real. So many big stars created a new self for fame. Marilyn Monroe is one of the best-known for that. But you're right you can never look inside. (Thursday 26 May 2016; 22:15)

Re: Lee's video (62,704) (62,708) by RibbonB from USA We talked about this days ago. The audio and transcript are all over twitter. (Thursday 26 May 2016; 22:08)

Re: O.O.C. (62,681) lambs gone wild (62,688) (62,707) by RibbonB from USA Stella allowing her to be...? Nobody can allow you to be the real you. And if it really is a parasite host type of relationship, as I think it is, then the host is almost always harmed and modified from their real nature. Even if just manager and client, one is not allowed to be. I hope Mariah realizes where the hero lays. (Thursday 26 May 2016; 22:03)

Re: This wacko fan is back at it again (62,699) (62,706) by Chicago Lamb from USA Someone had to play Mariah while she (as Eminem) was on the stalk. No? (Thursday 26 May 2016; 21:19)

Hallmark Channel deal: desperate or good business? (62,705) by B from USA Mariah Carey isn't desperate. This Hallmark deal is helping her hone her skills behind the camera as a director. Hollywood is more ageist than the music industry. Mariah has proven herself as an actress but she isn't going to be able to deliver an award worthy performance while also directing. I'm looking forward to the upcoming movies and the three new songs. (Thursday 26 May 2016; 20:37)

Lee' video (62,704) by May from Denmark Anyone saw it yet? Hilarious. It's been said it was a mock of Wendy Williams. I don't watch her show, does anyone has a transcript, video or audio of it? Mega funny when Lee said "fragile fragile". (Thursday 26 May 2016; 19:46)

Mariah and the music (62,703) by May from Denmark People are going on a frenzy about Mariah not giving us music. Let's remember that her last album was released in 2014, then she had some of the ventures, Vegas, Christmas, Hallmark in the following year. Mariah sometimes takes years to make an album. I hope this time not 5 years or with many delays, but it wouldn't be unusual if it takes 2 or 3 years. Now she seems to have sealed a deal to make three more Hallmark movies where she will be writing the score, so that's right there new music. People have asked for no more singles, not at least the way Triumphant or Infinity came out but can we really expect an album that fast? Didn't we ask for better promo this time? It's true what a previous poster said that Mariah was not going to go for acting but people change minds and opinions all the time, Mariah did, and she tried acting and liked it. Sometimes she is good, sometimes she is not. She always admired Marilyn Monroe, maybe she saw acting as a way to experience what her idol did for all we know. Truth is that Mariah's music has been in order, what hasn't been well with the public was her image. Could it be perhaps why a manager not in the music industry was chosen rather than one in? After all Mariah could get any manager she wanted. And Stella, as all weird or bizarre as she and her family could be, was introduced by Ratner as a friend, so she was no stranger. I'm in the fence regarding her because I could care less her antics as long as her job is well done. So far Mariah's image, though some of her oldest fans don't seem to like it, has improved. Just read the comment of a person in a board that said she became a fan recently with Mariah's latests material and doesn't know much of her old stuff yet. Mariah is attracting people, her image is resounding more as a "fun diva" lately and I don't mind her having that title. Is Stella parasitic? I can't judge her for some pics, she loves the lux life? Who doesn't. A lot of things regarding Stella are sounding like conspiracy theories and some stuff are sounding really crazy and the way some people talk about her children, sounds like adults bullying kids, do you think the child can't read this? Let's be careful how we express ourselves about a 13 years old child. That's all I had to say about Stella and her family, I think if she is inflating herself, a lot has to do because there's a fair amount of Mariah fans who love her and a fair amount of those who hate her and make a big deal about her. I want Mariah to write music but I enjoy her acting venture as well. I agree with the person who said her perfumes were great, but everything else is cashing. (Thursday 26 May 2016; 19:14)

Re: Mariah still loves Nick (62,695) (62,702) by Victoria from USA unfortunately "Love Story" was already a done deal song before she even got with Cannon. All the songs on E=MC2 were done when they started shooting videos. Don't be such a sap, none of those songs were about him. (Thursday 26 May 2016; 18:48)

Re: Stella (62,663) (62,701) by May from Denmark The lap dance was funny, it wasn't even a real lapdance, which made it more hilarious, and it was on one of her staff members, it wasn't on a complete stranger, if she was up to do lapdances she would have done it on the fans since the day she started presenting that number of her show, yet it has always been her dancer the one doing it. Mariah has appeared drunk or tipsy in clubs before including awards, not news neither, about the nip slip that people keep talking, Mariah has had those before too, including the one she had filming HATEU back then, Mariah started doing the flip the bird for fun since the Rainbow era, once she did it at the paps because they wouldn't stop asking about Luis Miguel and always in a fun way just like she is doing now, we have heard her cussing more since Rainbow, probably because she didn't have to be this stiff unidimensional person for the camera anymore, she could show more of her personality, she was free from having to fake the entire time and I loved it, finally we were seeing more of the real, the person, the every day Mariah and not just controlled snippets of what she was like. What if Mariah has always been the way she is now and simply not everybody knew. Lots talk as if they knew Mariah in person and in her daily life. Maybe she is feeling right now in a comfort zone where she can just be herself and not give rats butts anymore about what people might think if she said the f bomb word. I think it's fine if you want to show concern for Mariah, it's totally normal, but none of the things you mentioned Mariah hasn't done before Stella appearing in the picture. The use of heavy jewelry is coming back since Nick Cannon times. She started appearing with those heavy earrings since the Emancipation, then with Nick came the necklaces and bracelets. I think it looks beautiful on her, I love her bracelets. Regarding the overuse of fake eyelashes, I truly feel it's to distract us from her baggies under her eyes, I don't know if it's because the age, I personally think it's because she must be feeling tired.

Re: This wacko fan is back at it again (62,699) (62,700) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I think Amber was talking about body doubles in day to day lives. Like Michael Jackson used to use body doubles as a decoy. In "Obsessed" it was obviously required since Mariah was playing both roles. The woman also doubled for her in the shots where she was doing the photoshoot in the hotel room while "Male Mariah" was fanning her hair. (Thursday 26 May 2016; 17:42)

Re: This wacko fan is back at it again (62,686) (62,699) by Edward from USA Amber C, Mariah definitely uses body doubles for her videos. How do I know? Because I've seen it with my own eyes at least once. Walking about my business downtown Manhattan I saw a whole bunch of people gathering in front of a hotel, as if there was a celebrity there, when I approached, to my surprise, it was Mariah filming part of her video for Obsessed, the beginning actually. The lady you see signing autographs at the beginning of the video once out of the limo was a butt-double, correction, a body double. in between takes there she was, a very beautiful lady as tall as Mariah but definitely slender. She was dressed, weaved, boobed exactly as Mariah, the only difference was her face. Her legs were to die for as Mariah's of course. (Thursday 26 May 2016; 17:14)

Re: Great article about Me I Am Mariah (62,690) (62,698) by Haiji Toro from USA, SOUTH FLORIDA Thank you Martin for that great article. It expressed in good details the reasons to why this underrated and certainly elusive album wasn't showcased in good lighting. Side note, call me dumb or maybe just computer illiterate, I never realized that in certain articles, different colored texts led to other articles lol. I felt so stupid in discovering that today. I guess we do learn something new each day haha. Anyways, in discovering those links, I read the other great articles about Mariah. It's nice to read good praises about her back to back on a specific website. Very tasteful and all about the music. Thank you again for that. For some reason, now I can't get the Triumphant dance remix out of my head. It was one of my favorites. I still think that remix should have been included in MIAMTEC. (Thursday 26 May 2016; 17:11)

Re: Celine vs Aretha and Patti (62,683) (62,696) by Tyler from USA I thought I was the only one who noticed that Celine pretty much lip-synced her entire performance at the Billboard awards. It's crazy how biased the industry can be towards certain singers. If Mariah would have done that, she would have been slaughter. (Thursday 26 May 2016; 15:45)
