Beyonce (61,566) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ugh. Beyonce dropped yet another surprise visual album and we still don't see any news of the announced single from MC. Come through Mariah. (Sunday 24 April 2016; 10:06)

Re: I don't know her shade (61,550) (61,565) by Bill from the UK It's the fans/lambs who won't let up with the "I don't know her" nonsense, not Mariah. If a fan wants to make a special top with it emblazoned on, or hold up a sign with it on whilst posing for pictures with her, Mariah can't help that. It's not her fault, or the fault of MC's team, that the "slay queen slayriah" crowd who've insisted on giving her this "shade queen" title behave like they do. I completely agree, it does nothing for how Mariah is perceived and paints her as a jealous person who is bitter of somebody else's success. There's this whole niche of stupid Mariah fans who have created this perception and only they are to blame for any bad press that comes off the back of it. (Sunday 24 April 2016; 8:34)

Article: Seven albums to stop the apocalypse (61,564) by Gilles from Malta I love Glitter. She was so much in advance to bring the 80's music back but the world wasn't ready, it needed like 15 years to bring that type of music back to life with Pharelle and Marc Ronson and others. Anyway this album is better than Rainbow for sure, I mean regarding my taste of music. Regarding the aliens, I hope they got like big suitcases because there are quite a lot of treasures and artists here. Have a nice weekend. (Sunday 24 April 2016; 6:56)

Re: R-E-S-P-E-C-T (61,541) (61,563) by Licia from USA Marissa you are spot on. (Sunday 24 April 2016; 6:09)

Article: Seven albums to stop the apocalypse (61,562) by 90sMariah from SG Glitter is superior to both Rainbow and Charmbracelet (ech)/ (Sunday 24 April 2016; 5:40)

Re: I don't know her shade (61,550) (61,561) by Mara from United States I agree Mimi L. It is beginning to become redundant. I get that it was a fan that had it on his shirt but why post it. It only makes JLo look like the one who took the high road. I also saw the videos just posted from the vodka launch party and oh boy. All I can say is these two particular dancers have become very close to MC lately and are always seen in photos, and very close in range to her. If I was JP I think it might make me a little uncomfortable. I get that she is feeling very confident again and looks amazing and I'm sure she is working incredibly hard to get back in top form so maybe she is just having fun. Mariah has always been flirtatious in a fun cute way but this was a bit much and not only that but there were multiple ones shared along with one of her dancing up on a female friend while Anthony filmed. It just seems a little odd for a woman with a fiancé planning her wedding that is supposed to be shown on TV. Running off to duck the stones now. (Sunday 24 April 2016; 4:24)

Re: New line of vodka (61,510) (61,560) by enwar00 from usa I can't wait to try Mariah's vodka. Two of my favorite things coming together. I just hope it's better than the Butterfly water. That was like diabetic shock in a bottle. Do they even still sell it? (Sunday 24 April 2016; 4:12)

Lemonade (61,559) by RibbonB from USA Just wow. It's music, it's art. What a rollout. (Sunday 24 April 2016; 4:08)

Re: Article: Seven albums to stop the apocalypse (61,552) (61,558) by enwar00 from usa Licia don't hate me because of what I said in the other post. Lol. I can't help it I just do. And yes, Glitter kills (both) vocally. I love Lead The Way. One of my fave MC songs. (Sunday 24 April 2016; 3:51)

Re: Essence show (61,525) (61,557) by enwar00 from usa Yes. Let's go. (Sunday 24 April 2016; 3:45)

Re: Best songs from albums released in the 2000's (61,530) (61,556) by enwar00 from usa Hey B narrow it down to one from each. Or is it impossible for you. Lol. If not I'm just curious, Lead The Way or Never Too Far? (Sunday 24 April 2016; 3:43)

Re: Article: Seven albums to stop the apocalypse (61,549) (61,555) by enwar00 from usa I agree, I like Glitter better than both Rainbow and Charmbracelet. (Sunday 24 April 2016; 3:35)

Re: R-E-S-P-E-C-T (61,541) (61,554) by Edward from USA Marissa, the only thing I can say to your post is a huge (caps) amen. (Sunday 24 April 2016; 3:21)

Re: Essence show (61,525) (61,553) by 123 from USA Hello Lamb, do you live in Chicago? (Sunday 24 April 2016; 3:05)

Re: Article: Seven albums to stop the apocalypse (61,549) (61,552) by Licia from USA Glitter kills Rainbow on vocals alone. (Sunday 24 April 2016; 2:38)

I don't know her shade (61,550) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The "I don't know her" is a legendary shade and I love it (and am guilty of using it on many occasions) but please Mariah and her team has to distance themselves from directly acknowledging this at all costs. Seriously, stop posting photos like this. It just leads to 2 things. 1) It makes people like Jennifer more because she isn't out there throwing shade. 2) It makes Mariah look bad because people think she can't get over this feud even after so many years. Mariah can hate JLo all she wants but does it really have to be on her instagram? Same with Stella captioning her own instagram photos with "I don't know her" and "I still don't know her" (knowing that people check on her account too, to get info on Mariah). This is just getting childish. We already have Wendy the great talking about the picture in which Mariah posed with a fan with a sign saying "I still don't know her". Which is still fine because it wasn't on Mariah's instagram. But now she has started posting it on her own page. This is ridiculous. (Sunday 24 April 2016; 0:54)

Article: Seven albums to stop the apocalypse (61,549) by Andrew crisostomo from Canada, niagara falls I think the Glitter album is actually better than the Rainbow album in my opinion. (Sunday 24 April 2016; 0:11)

Re: R-E-S-P-E-C-T (61,535) Damsel in Distress (61,548) by RibbonB from USA I agree with a lot of what you are saying, from Tommy to Benny and on and on. But now she is handing over the reigns to the infamous Stella. So she is buying into this whole thing with a low brow reality show, or docudrama or whatever. I Adore Mariah's music and I think she is a great person, but she is real extra, to say the least. I thought of a tongue and cheek title of her next CD Damsel In Distress or to play on words - Damsel In Dis Dress. Lol. I wish she would really feel as empowered as she can be and should be. She always gives off this vulnerability being in need of a little help. I know it takes a village for us all sometimes. (Saturday 23 April 2016; 23:51)

Re: R-E-S-P-E-C-T (61,539) (61,547) by B from USA Once her looks start to fade is when she will embrace seriousness as an artist. She's obviously angling to make another comeback. She has to compete with newer artist half her age. She looks amazing and her body hasn't looked this good in years. She needs to not only deliver the goods musically but she has to look good as well. An older overweight pop star isn't going to score another #1. She looks half her age and she sounds amazing. She needs to pounce and release a stellar single, asap. (Saturday 23 April 2016; 22:58)

Re: Prince (61,540) (61,546) by B from USA I would also love to hear her MJ collaboration/duet. I just commented on one of her videos on YouTube that she was such a workhorse in the 90's constantly writing (and rewriting songs multiply times for remixes), that she probably has hundreds if not thousands of songs that we haven't heard. Does anyone have an MP3 of the full version of We're Not Making Love Anymore, her duet with Michael Bolton? I would love a copy. I recently lost my phone and also lost my only copy of Slipping Away.

Re: Ageism and sexism in sexuality (61,543) (61,544) by B from USA Predictable and boring. Mariah is sexy and she can't hide it so she might as well flaunt it. (Saturday 23 April 2016; 22:42)

Ageism and sexism in sexuality (61,543) by Andrew from UK In re: other female artists such as Beyoncé, sexuality is represented both as being fierce and empowering. They are admired for their use of sexuality. Mariah's representation of sexuality seems to be an awkward need to feel like a desired princess, from Loverboy to Say Something to #Beautiful. For want of a better word, it's a cheaper, or more passive, form of sexuality and is, naturally, a source of derision. It has been so since the late nineties so I'm not sure where ageism is applicable. Maybe that as people get older they are expected to show more dignity and refinement? Well, that just is the way it is and when everyone else is doing it and you're not, you eventually stand for more ridicule (see Madonna). It's, also, a strange argument to say that asking someone to put their tits away is sexist. (Or reduce them to normal human sizes once more.) Sexist? Men are equally held up to certain standards in dress and behaviour and are subjected to criticisms when they fail to meet them. Men not having breasts a comparator is hard to find. But sexist it isn't. (Saturday 23 April 2016; 21:46)

Re: R-E-S-P-E-C-T (61,541) (61,542) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Oh since you brought up the video, they did make me cringe a lot. I saw multiple videos and in all of them she is super drunk (which I am not judging because it may be just because she was celebrating) and she is basically grinding up and down her dancers Bryan Tanaka (who by the way is a total hottie) and Anthony Burrell, the same two guys in that scandalous photo she posted on her instagram. And no they are not gay, that's for sure. There are multiple videos posted on their snap chats of them from different days just being on both sides of Mariah and moving the camera up and down her body, and I am like what the fudge? At the party it was just so raunchy, I was like does Mariah even know these are being posted? It was a little unnecessary. (Saturday 23 April 2016; 21:24)

Re: R-E-S-P-E-C-T (61,539) (61,541) by Marissa from USA I totally agree. I'm against the oversexed antics because it decreases the respect she's given as an artist. Seeing her latest outfit at the club or wherever she was wasn't even a surprise for me, but my issue was the cringeworthy video of her telling her dancer to "get her body" on camera only for us to see everything short of her nipples. It looked like a bad intro to a porn flick. Mariah, we have seen your boobs millions of times but a close-up of them on someone's phone is not needed whatsoever. There's nothing wrong with feeling yourself, but stuff like this comes across as thirsty. And for me it's not just because she's a woman because if it would have been a 46 year old guy constantly showing off his chest I would think he was thirsty as well. Sexiness is fine, tastelessness is not regardless of gender. Also, miss me with the "every other celebrity does it" stuff because those other celebrities need stunts to stay relevant. She doesn't. You can't have it both ways no matter what an idealistic society tells you. You can't only play up the eternally 12 antics and want people to see you as deep and introspective and you can't have your nipples spilling out and expect people to believe that you're a prudish Mary Poppins. The lambs are the only ones who care about the truth of who Mariah is. For the general public, perception is everything regardless of facts and they will go with what she projects and do no further research. (Saturday 23 April 2016; 20:45)

Re: Prince (61,538) (61,540) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ah then that is a different scenario, I apologize. I have always wanted to hear what Mariah cooked up with Michael Jackson. That would have been a dream collaboration for me. I swear Mariah has so many hidden gems just tucked away somewhere, it's not fair. (Saturday 23 April 2016; 20:17)
