Sprung (61,294) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Quirky is a word I wouldn't usually use to describe any of Mariah's songs. Her material ranges from opulent to downright "hood". But the production in this one song from her is just weird. Maybe some of the background sounds are appropriate and even cute in a literal way as they do seem to "spring". Personally, they can be a little disorienting when I concentrate on them. Mariah seems to strain a bit at the chorus, but it's a nice bonus track and a unique addition to her brilliant catalog.

Stella story (61,292) by RibbonB from USA I was referencing an article I read in star magazine. It was April 4, that article stated they quit. A definite change of tone from the week before. (Thursday 14 April 2016; 3:44)

Mimi L (61,291) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Much respect to you, and believe me no offense taken by your post on my part. I respect your opinion and enjoy your posts as well. (Thursday 14 April 2016; 2:32)

Re: Eddie / Rae Rae vs Stella (61,270) (61,290) by RibbonB from USA It's interesting indeed. The only person I will believe about this is if Mariah says something in an interview out of her own mouth. I don't believe most of these articles that quote from sources, insiders, family friends or even with Mariah is quotation marks unless I hear it. Mariah was quoted as saying that she fired them to TMZ of all places, then just last week I read in Life and Style I think that the employees quit and that Mariah was happy with her new team because she felt her career was stagnant and she was not relevant anymore, that her prior team kept her closed up. That was laughable, at least Mariah tweeted then. Now I don't trust her tweets. A thirteen year old is the last person to tweet for a legendary diva who runs her own corporation. Anyway the gratuitous article seemed to soft pedal what Mariah was alleged to have said only the week before. The title was Mariah and Stella "we belong together". I have to find the exact magazine, but I snapped a picture of it. I refuse to buy tabloids, but the sources are entertaining. Funny this whole Stella error/era there are always multiple versions of the same story. James won't be on the show, from Mariah's mouth, to he taped and is happy to be on the show allegedly from Mariah to TMZ. Then we are told Mariah fired her staff, to the staff quit. They are moving in together, then Mariah herself says they are not living together. Anyway, I support Mariah and wish her the best for her sake and especially for her kids' sake. I'm going to laugh if my prediction comes true, that all these players will be on this ship wreck if it ever airs. They say reality TV is scripted anyway. I just hope Mariah writes a great next record I will buy it, I always do and all this other stuff is not even required. (Thursday 14 April 2016; 1:32)

Mariah's make up artist, stylist and back up singer (61,288) by Giovanni from USA I really wish Mariah would fire her make up artist, stylist and back up singers. The make up she uses looks awful and ages her. The mascara and fake eye lashes need to go. It makes her face look weird. As for her stylist and old back up singers, ditch them please. It also would be refreshing if Mariah replaced Big Jim Wright with someone younger. I'm so tired of him. I'd like her to start fresh with the next era. (Thursday 14 April 2016; 1:17)

New glitter bodysuit (61,287) by Giovanni from USA I actually like it because of her current hair. I thought she looked funny with the short "Glitter" hair and the tons of amount of make up she had on. But she looks really nice as of now. (Thursday 14 April 2016; 1:02)

Ode to Juan (61,286) by Andrew from UK That'll teach me to post from a pub. Two bottles of wine and my inbox suggests I shouldn't. Juan, my man, thank you for your email but, please, I don't need another one. As much as I have a sense of humour and am opinionated, you lost me at Mariah liking you because you are a prostitute and she was one, too (apparently). No. She was not. I make fun of her but it's mostly tongue-in-cheek. What a [censored] galactically absurd thing to say. I, and the Chardonnay, are actually outraged that the woman whose career I spent my life following has been reduced to that. So she gets her tits out and I make fun. Prostitute? Sit down, [censored]. You further lost me at insulting the guy who runs this website. He doesn't much like me, of that I'm sure, but he has class. If you're going to insult him, don't try to use his time to post your messages - which you are not paying him to do, incidentally. If you really are waiting for that phone call for Mariah to start an AIDS foundation with you (that's the phone call you're waiting for, apparently) then I hope waiting is something you enjoy. I don't give a flying [censored] what happened to you in your life. I may get HIV? Strange thing to say to someone to whose better nature you are trying to appeal. How bizarre. How do you know I don't already have it? It doesn't make anybody more or less deserving of time spent with an idol and it definitely doesn't give you a free pass to attack someone with a valid, coherent point about how they were cheated out of hundreds of pounds/ dollars/ euros/ yen/ golden tickets to the Wonka factory. Especially when that person is so [censored] humble and lovely about it. I was on your side. Now I'm not. Looky here, me and Eric sittin' in a tree. Thanks, but no thanks. Wish you well.

Stella is good at her job (61,285) by Todd from Melbourne, Australia Stella is copping a lot of flack in the media at the moment, and it's sad that the ousted members of MC's team are unhappy. However this is the first time in a long time that reviews are great, apart from the Alison drama there's no negative press about her, her concerts, her "diva demands" or anything of that nature. And her voice is sounding incredible, so maybe Mariah needed a manager that makes sure she's in bed by 10 and up at 7 for vocal warmups. And for that - congratulations Stella. In my opinion, she's bringing our girl back to life. (Thursday 14 April 2016; 0:23)

Stella, the brainwashing hag from the lost world (61,284) by Luke from United Kingdom If Stella has so much control why not get rid of the people most loyal to Mariah like her backup singers/Trey, her makeup artist she has had since the 90's, Big Jim Wright? I really don't think Mariah is as stupid as Rae Rae, or that other guy are making out. If she doesn't want their help or advice then they need to get over it. Sounds like Stella is doing some major refurbishment and the people not working hard enough are just bitter they aren't in on the diamond-showering, rubber dinghy ride. And why not have a 13 year old work on Mariah's social networks? She's going to know better than most with how to get good publicity. I don't think Instagram or Twitter is going to come before Mariah's kids. People go on about Stella using Mariah but did anyone stop to think maybe the people now out of the picture were the ones using her? Sitting around happily taking a paycheck from her. Sometimes it takes a person like Stella to point out these leeches. (Wednesday 13 April 2016; 23:30)

Re: Eddie / Rae Rae vs Stella (61,270) (61,283) by Chicago Lamb from USA "Feeling myself" a duet with Beyonce? Could "voice" mean Mariah? And he says weak. Perhaps we can extrapolate he doesn't like it? (Wednesday 13 April 2016; 22:56)

Article: Mariah Carey's ex-choreographer slams new team (61,282) by Chicago Lamb from USA This choreography and staging seems much better than the previous. (Wednesday 13 April 2016; 22:48)

Stella4eva (61,281) by Andrew from UK I Stella. Stella4eva. Slay, Stella, slay. Seriously, Mariah may come across as two monkeys short of a zoo sometimes but I'm sure on some days she's actually compos mentis. So some crew don't like Stella and call her names. I'm sure she loves them right back. This is actually trolling, no? You all be haters. Word. (Wednesday 13 April 2016; 22:36)

LA Reid (61,280) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter LA Reid was apparently smoking weed while listening to Rihanna's new album. Well that explains him green lighting "Infinity" as Mariah's comeback single (lol ok ok it's a little harsh, "Infinity" isn't a bad song, not just a strong single) and then "Ain't your mama" as JLo's new comeback single haha. I can't with L A Reid basically being out of it, listening to "Ain't your Mama" and saying "yes, yes this is exactly what we need to put out there and release as a single". Is this really the same man that told Mariah to go back and record more songs for TEOM? Because clearly he doesn't have the same music sense anymore. LA get your crap together.

Re: Hey hey hello (61,275) silence (61,279) by juan manuel benabu from Argentina or Spain i have almost 4 post diferent, small, directly and nice ones, but i can't see it here I can't hear you silence [Webmaster: As long as you don't follow my rules, your messages won't get posted. Maybe I have to explain it again: You have to start a sentence with a capital and end it with a dot. It's so simple. Also, it's "I" and not "i".] (Wednesday 13 April 2016; 22:07)

Re: Old team vs new team (61,276) (61,278) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter While I agree Mariah's career is definitely in a better place right now than what it was say in 2014. But I will never understand why Stella gets credit for Mariah's tour being critically acclaimed and her confidence being back. I am not discounting Stella's work (although I would like a list of exactly what she got Mariah and what was already in the table before she came in because well we don't know for sure except for the reality series). But yes I will still consider that Stella is doing a lot for Mariah but I can't for the life of me understand why the tour's critical acclaim and Mariah's confidence is attributed to Stella. First of all the tour is being acclaimed because Mariah is putting up one heck of a show, it's not Stella singing there (or I might be watching a whole different tour lol). Secondly yes Mariah is confident now and yes she seems a lot happier now, but it's a little too far fetched to say she is the happiest she has ever been. Was she not happy during 2005-07 when she was basically wanted by everyone? Was she not happy in 2008 when she abandoned her career to try her luck at love? Was she not confident during her TAOM tour when she was super fierce. In 2008, was she not confident when she was rocking her killer body? Same for 2013. She is more confident now because she gets more confident every time she loses weight. Yes if we compare her current happiness to that of 2014 then for sure she is 200 times in a much better place. But 2014 wasn't just a mess because of her professional team, it was also a mess because Mariah had a semi breakdown because of what was going on in her personal life. Now that all that is in the past, she has found love again, she is happy and more confident. Gee dahlin' don't take this message personally. I am not attacking you, neither is it a direct reply to your message, I have just been seeing a lot of other fans really pushing the "Stella has basically made the new Mariah happen" card a little too much, so I had to vent. You are not one of those people though. Keep posting, I like your posts. (Wednesday 13 April 2016; 21:30)

Eddie vs Stella (61,277) by Ty from USA I'm with Eddie. I'm the lamb he was conversing with. (Wednesday 13 April 2016; 21:14)

Old team vs new team (61,276) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) While I am sure Mariah misses her old because they have grown together and became a family, I have to admit this new team has done Mariah wonders. This latest tour has been critically acclaimed and looks to be expanding, Vegas has been extended and even more so Mariah's voice and confidence has been much better since Stella and company have come in place. The old team seems to have become too comfortable with being on MC's payroll and lacking. Though I feel Stella may have a very dominating personality her work ethic with Mariah so far has produced positive results. So Stella is welcomed on board in my opinion, all I am concerned is trying to make her family famous off of MC's back. (Wednesday 13 April 2016; 20:41)

Re: Hey hey hello (61,264) (61,275) by Andrew from UK Hah I must admit sometimes I stare at acronyms here and wonder "wtf?" Some joker put #B the other day. So in that vein, I wish MC would stop saying H is schmaltzy, she would stop singing the H remix with ME and DB and H was put into the SSFT setlist, without the jetski. Maybe even TMS (the "S" being for "shellsuit" lmao). You crack me up. If you want, email me your number and we can whatsapp: andrewjamesgold@gmail.com. (Wednesday 13 April 2016; 20:28)

Re: Eddie / Rae Rae vs Stella (61,270) (61,274) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Was Wilfredo really accused of stealing from Mariah? This thing is turning so messy right now. (Wednesday 13 April 2016; 19:56)

"Greatest Hits" (2001) album cover (61,273) by Billy from Greece How would you feel had this been the cover for "Butterfly"? I think this is one of the photoshoots that took place in 1997 and were never used until several years later obviously. I often forget that it is indeed a stunning picture.

Re: Mariah Carey's collaborators share untold... (61,272) by Jeff from USA This article was really interesting. I love to see the background of things that are classics now. Isn't it amazing how Mariah did things no one thought of before? It is really amazing to hear the respect from so many people, her talent, her musical ability, her raw energy, her keen understanding of what she is doing, amazing stuff.
