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)

Re: Mariah still loves Nick (62,687) (62,695) by MusicfanJ from Germany I also think it's so sad that Mariah and Nick separated. At the beginning I was not happy with Nick because he seemed like a kid, too young. But then Mariah was looking so happy, and seeing the lyrics in Love Story and I thought what a lovely couple, this will be the man who loves her with all his heart. And then the break-up and rumors about cheating and that Nick only wanted her money and fame. It's like a drama movie, of course we don't know what really happend or not. But I've always wanted to see Mariah happy with a man who has a heart of gold and treats her right. I don't know what to think about James Packer. Please no more drama. Sometimes it seems Mariah is heartbroken because of the divorce with Nick. She just wants true love (like most of us). (Thursday 26 May 2016; 13:56)

Why is Mariah nocturnal? (62,693) by Frappuccino from Australia She said in a recent interview that going to bed at 3am is early for her. Aren't her children diurnal? I'm just wondering how it works. I'm not insulting her or anything. (Thursday 26 May 2016; 13:24)

Stella's daughter (62,691) by Mariah from Us Guys am I the only one who thinks that Stella's daughter Mishka is out of control? She doesn't go to school and she's drinking/getting drunk every few days, what's up with that? Just earlier she was having a martini and she was clearly drunk when she was hanging out with dj Suss one at Serendipity, her mother tried covering her up while Mariah was on tour and she recorded her on a office chair claiming that it was "sparkling apple juice" she had in a champagne glass. What's if the media starts paying attention, and they say Mariah is getting this girl drunk? I don't know what to say about any of this mess. (Thursday 26 May 2016; 13:12)

Great article about Me I Am Mariah (62,690) by Martyn from England, UK Just read a great article about Me I Am Mariah and its commercial failure, you can read it here. (Thursday 26 May 2016; 12:11)

Re: This wacko fan is back at it again (62,686) (62,689) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Depending on the camera angle a person can look completely different in different photos. The body changes can be explained away by the fit of the dress and the use of body shaping undergarments. Pretty sure she doesn't use a body double. (Thursday 26 May 2016; 11:45)

Re: O.O.C. (62,681) lambs gone wild (62,688) by Sheila from United States Mariah would fall out if she read all the hate on this board. Allow Mariah to live her truth. Maybe Stella is allowing her to be the "real" Mariah. Maybe the person all of you worship wasn't real, just an image Tommy made up, a mixed race acceptable version of Whitney Houston. (Thursday 26 May 2016; 11:38)

Re: Mariah still loves Nick (62,646) (62,687) by Amber C from USA I ship Mariah and Nick to this day. I can tell Mariah still loves him and he still loves her. Period. When I see James he doesn't matter, he doesn't exist. It's funny how we used to despise Nick but I do not clearly see, they belong together. I have fallen in love with Mariah and Nick again. It wad true love. I thnk they will get back. I hope "you make me feel like love will never end, how can I forget baby we were the best. Suffered dreams of you all through the night. And baby I can't seem to give you up you're mine." (Thursday 26 May 2016; 6:33)

This wacko fan is back at it again (62,686) by Amber C from USA Is there a possibility Mariah has a body double? Because apart from the right side of her face, sometimes there are some real differences in her face and body. Anything's possible right? (Thursday 26 May 2016; 6:24)

Re: O.O.C. (62,681) (62,685) by enwar00 from usa It's scarier than Stella. Yikes. (Thursday 26 May 2016; 3:34)

Re: Celine vs Aretha and Patti (62,669) (62,683) by MC1989 from Spain Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Edith Piaf, Nina Simone, Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner, Cher, Barbra Streisand, Janis Joplin, Etta James, Diana Ross, Patti Smith, Annie Lennox, Cyndi Lauper, Madonna, Stevie Nicks, Whitney, and of course Celine and Mariah among many others belong to a league of singers who became legends. They are unique in ther fields for their different skills. I don't understand the need of bringing them face to face, the "artist versus artist" thing. They can be compared but in a good way, I'm tired of the "vs" thing. How can you say Whitney couldn't do gymnastics? Search her early performances from 1983 to 1990. Celine and Mariah have very different and ditinguished voices but especially very different styles. I love Celine and by the way, as a fan I noticed that she lip synched most part of The Show Must Go Own at the BBMA. She still has a great voice but in the past years she uses pre-recorded vocals very often, the difference with Mariah in this aspect is that Mariah doesn't know how to do playback, when Mariah lips, usually it's very obvious. When Celine does it only a few will notice. Anyway, both are two of the greatest female voices and they still sound powerful and still have an unique sound, but they are completely different.

Re: New music (62,670) (62,679) by Seth M from South Africa I hear what you say but my concern is that Mariah is 46 years old. Putting out records when she is 50 will not make it easy to garner hits. Despite her age, she will probably still try to do sexy songs and videos like YME. If she does then the public will make a mockery of her trying to act sexy at 50. While she is still relatively young, it would be best if she can put out new music now. (Thursday 26 May 2016; 0:10)

Re: Celine vs Aretha and Patti (62,677) (62,678) by RibbonB from USA Yes Aretha did. That divas live performance is simply electric and to think that the queen of soul still slayed this last December at the Kennedy Center honors for Carole King. She sang that song with all her years of soul and pain and dropped the mink coat for the show stopper. Mariah even pays homage to the queen of soul to this day as recently as WWHL. I love that about Mariah. I love to re read the NY Times review of that Divas performance, it makes one feel as if they are in that moment and even they said Mariah was the only one who could remotely perform next to the queen of soul. Lol but it's all a matter of opinion and taste, so the argument can go on and on. (Thursday 26 May 2016; 0:09)

Re: Celine vs Aretha and Patti (62,669) (62,677) by Bill from the UK Aretha past her prime? Please. She ran circles around everyone that evening, including Mariah. Mariah had the sense to realise that and respectfully held back. Aretha was by far and away the best performer that night. (Wednesday 25 May 2016; 23:47)
