Re: Mimi and Yonce? (61,688) (61,692) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I am always in need of new Mariah music but if Mariah is releasing a new album, I hope by surprise it means that instead of posting pictures everyday about being in the studio (like she did during MIAM) with no indefinite release date, she has secretly finished the album and announces it a week or 2 before its release. Because a completely surprise album (like Beyonce's album "Beyonce") from Mariah may not work because of some reasons. Secondly it will become a joke if it doesn't match up to Beyonce's record because people will talk about how she tried and failed and that's a risk Mariah doesn't need right now. So she should announce it before hand like Beyonce did this time with "Lemonade" (because probably even she thought she can't pull a second completely surprise album just by dropping it on iTunes without any announcement). Plus I hope a promo plan is in place in advance. My heart can't take another messy, half ass-ed roll out. This is giving me anxiety dahlin', it's giving me anxiety. (Thursday 28 April 2016; 1:35)

Re: Mimi and Yonce? (61,687) (61,691) by Xavier Peoples from United States I would die if this were true. My two favorites together on one track. Maybe the lambily and the hive joining forces could bring these two back to number 1. (Thursday 28 April 2016; 0:15)

Re: Mimi and Yonce? (61,688) (61,690) by Xavier Peoples from United States Not to sound negative, but I hope that Mariah and her team have enough sense to know that the surprise album thing isn't going to work for Mariah. There's not exactly a lot of people sitting around waiting for a Mariah album to drop, and if she does a surprise release she will no doubt be compared to Bey. Hopefully, she'll find another creative way to release her new album. Just my 2 cents. (Thursday 28 April 2016; 0:12)

Re: Vegas (61,664) (61,689) by B from USA I'm not sure. I think it was temporary at first but then the residency became a success for all involved and it's been extended. I don't think she'll stay as long as Celine has. She might do that later when James builds her her own casino. (Wednesday 27 April 2016; 22:51)

Re: Mimi and Yonce? (61,687) (61,688) by B from USA I have a feeling this is the lead single from a surprise release from Mariah. (Wednesday 27 April 2016; 22:43)

Re: Mimi and Yonce? (61,686) (61,687) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Fingers crossed that it will be in the deluxe edition and is a more radio friendly song. They should capitalize on the buzz these 2 names will cause. I hope it won't just remain an album cut. Diane's involvement does suggest there is a music video involved so that's good. I am also excited about this being a good Mariah video finally since Bey usually has big budget videos like mini movies recently. So yes. As for the Vegas show, I definitely think they should drop the #1's limitations and include other popular songs of hers. (Wednesday 27 April 2016; 19:36)

Re: Mimi and Yonce? (61,680) (61,686) by 123 from USA This is what I believed Mimi meant when she said single soon. I was amistad positive it was a duet for Beyonce's Lemonade. When the album came out I was disappointed. It made sense to me as she said it would be "real soon" but that the album would be a while as she wanted to take her time and quite frankly, she is too booked to whip out an album inbetween shows. A duet for another artist is perfect. Hopefully it's true, it comes out as a single and they make a video for it. It would be perfect to add to a revamped Vegas set list if they are willing to not continue with the number 1s concept or replace infinity with it. (Wednesday 27 April 2016; 19:16)

Re: Mariah and Beyonce duet (61,684) (61,685) by Malcolm from Asia It's "Beyonce Predictions" but they stop posting every now and then but the on-going rumors and predictions about the Mimi-Bey duet is everywhere. I know, it's hard to expect haha but I will keep my hopes up because this is one of a hell collaboration. I do agree, they must take advantage of this if it's true, it's like once of a lifetime collaboration. After 10 years, it must not be forgotten and will be one of the most iconic duet of all time. Look what happened to "When You Believe", even though it did not reach #1, it is so well-loved by the public. Whenever I watch the music video, it still always give me chills. (Wednesday 27 April 2016; 18:38)

Re: Mariah and Beyonce duet (61,683) (61,684) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Oh my. I can't. This is starting to sound legit. I still have my reservations though, I've been played by this rumor before haha. By the way M, was it you who mentioned a Beyonce fan page that predicted a lot of true things about Bey's career? What was the name? "Closer to Heaven" sounds like a spiritual song, but hey with Beyonce you never know. If Mariah does get together with Beyonce I would rather want them to work on a more commercial single worthy song just so they can take advantage of the hype. (Wednesday 27 April 2016; 18:17)

Re: Mariah and Beyonce duet (61,681) (61,683) by Malcolm from Asia If this and this ain't true, I don't know anymore. This Beyonce featuring Mariah Carey is strongly buzzing. Lambs and Beyhives are starting to unite. (Wednesday 27 April 2016; 18:01)

Re: Mariah and Beyonce duet (61,681) (61,682) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Dahlin' check the post below yours. I'm already hyperventilating over this. Your post just made me more excited. Could this be true? And if this is a Beyonce project featuring Mariah, well at least the quality of the music video will be better (hahah lambs don't throw things at me). I seriously will shoot someone if this is the same situation like what happened when Anthony Burrell shared this picture of MC and Bey and said something like he was honored/lucky to be working with both of them. This was during the time rumors of Mariah being on Bey's record was going strong. But later fizzled out and we thought he meant he worked with them separately. But this Diane Martel one had better be true or I will hunt her down haha. Lord I need a confirmation soon. (Wednesday 27 April 2016; 17:53)

Mariah and Beyonce duet (61,681) by Malcolm from Asia I can't, the news is swirling around and it seems a legit one. Diane Martel who has previously directed 8 music videos for Mariah posted this on her instagram. She revealed that she will be working on "something special" with Mimi and Bey, which can also mean separately. But there is also a prediction from Beyonce's camp last week that there's gonna be a powerhouse artist that will be featured on the deluxe edition of Beyonce's new album Lemonade. And a Beyonce fan account confidently confirmed a while ago that the artist is Mariah. I know, it's hard to expect and hope but what if? Surely, I'm one of the people who will rejoice if the duet will happen and knowing Beyonce's team, the possible MV will be undoubtedly well-crafted. Attention Mimi L. (Wednesday 27 April 2016; 17:34)

Mimi and Yonce? (61,680) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So apparently Diane Martel posted on her instagram about working on "something special" with Mariah and Beyonce. I don't know if that's her account or not. But it has been picked up by many of Mariah fan instagrams. I hope this is true, although we have been victims of this same hoax multiple times haha. But hey I am totally here for a Mimi-Yonce collaboration. It is possible that it is for the deluxe edition of Beyonce's album. (Wednesday 27 April 2016; 17:07)

Confused (61,679) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) I am confused here. I see now that Mariah's voice is working its way back from the sleep zone and throughout this tour she has been giving some of herbbest performances in years now it's time to follow the trends of her so called rival who shall remain nameless as we still don't know her lol. Said person needs those over the elements to mask her mediocre talent. While I would not mind Mariah mixing up the Vegas residency with a different set list I feel adding the extra bells and whistles would hurt Mariah because media already has a perception of her and this would only add fuel to the already existing first of the over the top diva label. So let her voice do the talking a revamp set list yes, maybe some production tweeking but not too much where Mariah becomes lost in it. (Wednesday 27 April 2016; 16:47)

Photo Mariah - Madonna (61,678) by Billy from Greece That's an interesting photograph. Mariah in front of a mini poster of Madonna. Who would have thought? (Wednesday 27 April 2016; 14:54)

Re: (61,672) (61,677) by Andrew from UK Perhaps I really am "ageist" or just the most cynical person ever. Part of my distaste at the video or Mariah dancing is the type of sexuality she is displaying (as per recent posts) and how Joe Public will view it. But I also think: "You're a 46 year old, with young children. Stop that." Is it so wrong to think that as you get older you are supposed to behave with a little more decorum? Perhaps. Perhaps not. Any accusation with -ist on the end bores me to tears mostly as it's fired by left-wing nut-jobs who like to silence debate. Yet I do accept discrimination can be quite wrong. But when it comes to getting older, you're suppose to change. Imagine a 60 year old doing that. Where's the cut-off point? (Wednesday 27 April 2016; 13:43)

Re: Gay icon and advocate (61,654) (61,676) by Andrew from UK Nobody is doubting that Mariah at times has spoken about gay people in a positive light. However, it is shown that she always tries to move it into a broader spectrum and remain politically as neutral as possible. Thus, an award for "tirelessly working" to advance the gay movement is quite far off the mark and genuinely confusing. But it doesn't mean he hates the gays so people should stop getting tetchy from the off. I do wish some people here would read the actual posts before thinking they get the gist and responding to something else. It happens a lot. Mariah likes gays? Probably. Is Mariah deserving of a pseudo-political award for working tirelessly to advance the gay movement? Probably not. Meanwhile, back at the ranch... (Wednesday 27 April 2016; 13:35)

Show revamp (61,675) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I am here for a show revamp. First of all the set list needs a change. She should not limit herself to #1's and instead mix up popular up tempos and ballads. I also like JLo's stage, I hope Mariah can bring on a catwalk and that B-stage situation. Plus good Lord it's Vegas can we already get some over the top costumes already? Yes Mariah just needs her voice to hold the audience's attention but it doesn't hurt to add in other elements to boost the show's overall entertainment factor. (Wednesday 27 April 2016; 12:20)

Re: (61,670) (61,674) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter There is nothing wrong with her enjoying herself, she can really do anything she wants in her private life. What is weird is that these are put out on social media for "public consumption" like RJJ12 said. (Wednesday 27 April 2016; 11:59)

Re: (61,669) (61,673) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ugh these are the videos I was talking about a while back that these make me cringe so hard. There are a few more out there. There is another one where she is so busy dancing, one of her, well girls, kinda peak out from under her dress and she doesn't even realize it but Bryan gets in front of her and you can see him telling her to cover it and she covers it. I don't understand why she lets her dancers upload these on social media. (Wednesday 27 April 2016; 11:56)

Re: (61,669) (61,672) by MimiLamb from Germany Please do go into why, not seeing what the problem is with Mariah having some fun, dancing etc. (Wednesday 27 April 2016; 11:39)

Hold up, wait a minute (61,671) by Lamb_O_Chop from Australia Yuck at the notion that Mariah should copy anything that JLo is doing. Like how insulting. I mean that intro was cute and necessary for a JLo. However, when you have a standout voice like Mariah's (and a classic catalogue), then there's no need for a bunch of special effects, pyrotechnics, magic tricks, or a minute long booty jiggle to mask your mediocre (at best) "talent". Grant it Mariah could stand to step up the production a bit, and get more comfortable with her movements (which she has been doing in Europe), but as long as that voice is working I'm good because thats the main attraction as far as I'm concerned. As far as the GLADD awards. I say why are you all protesting so hard? Are we gonna act like she didn't have those three obviously gay backup singer when she first came on the scene that she absolutely adored, or that her music (directly or indirectly) didn't save the lives of many gay men and women across America, or that she hasn't supported charities for gay community or that "One Sweet Day" wasn't written for David Cole etc. Ask B. Scott if Mariah has been nothing but super supportive of her during the hardships of being transgender. Come on folks. Mariah is naturally supportive of the gay community and always has been. Just because she's not exactly a politician about it doesn't make her impact any less positive. And to the person that implied that her writing and singing gospel tunes (being Christian) mean she's not really down wit the gays; know that someone being pro God doesn't automatically mean that they're anti gay or take any issue with it. Now I'm gonna need all you all to act like you know better. (Wednesday 27 April 2016; 11:26)

Re: (61,669) (61,670) by Philipp from Switzerland Why? It's just a woman dancing, having drinks, celebrating and having fun with her friends. I'm all for it. (Wednesday 27 April 2016; 10:46)

(61,669) by 123 from USA Mariah, I love you but this should not be out there for public cons umption. I'm not even going to go into why. (Wednesday 27 April 2016; 7:33)

GLAAD award (61,668) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines GLAAD winners are not necessarily advocates. They can be just supportive of gay rights. Now while that pretty much broadens the potential awardees to the point that it includes everyone of us here and at least an eighth of the entire global population, we aren't exactly renowned or in the media, are we? She may not be an advocate in the truest sense of the word, and in comparison to other personalities her actions may seem small, maybe even insignificant, but just because someone isn't as open or as loud doesn't mean she isn't doing anything. If you really think about it, it isn't really that farfetched for her to be given such award. If Mariah suddenly won an environmental honor, now that (caps) would qualify as bizarre.
