Re: Yes, you do know her (62,384) (62,398) by B from USA J.Lo isn't respected outside of the fashion world/industry and her stylist deserves the credit not her. She's considered one of the worst actresses and worst singers of all time. Minja isn't taken seriously and she hasn't had a hit since Anaconda. Mariah is respected and no diss at anyone is going to diminish her legacy. She changed the face of pop music. (Thursday 19 May 2016; 18:07)

Re: Reality show will be a disaster? (62,386) (62,397) by B from USA Mariah's recent televised appearances have garnered three to four millon viewers which is now considered a hit. The Kardashian's get between two to three millon viewers and are the toast of E. which means Mariah's World will most likely be considered a hit. This show will likely garner her some new fans and introduce her to the kids that follow Kendall and Kylie. She needs to release a single to coincide with the premiere of Mariah's World or else it's a lost opportunity. E. has a history of making trailers that don't actually reflect the series. The trailer features her recent E interviews and an acceptance speech, do the math. (Thursday 19 May 2016; 18:02)

Re: Yes, you do know her (62,384) (62,396) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The Nicki shade was unnecessary because she herself said that the fight was the fault of the show runners. And Nicki has always praised Mariah even after the fight. There is nothing wrong in just giving general compliments to a person. She doesn't have to be besties with them. The JLo thing could also have ended by just saying "I know who she is but I don't know her on a personal level." If JLo was petty by saying "Mariah is forgetful" then Mariah didn't need to be petty as well, then where is the difference? JLo did say she is a fan many times but there is only so many times she can be asked "why does Mariah disregard your existence" and keep calm. Mariah also didn't need to add the "If someone asks me about you, I would say I don't know him but he seems cool." This just paved the way for Andy to ask "Do you think JLo is cool?" To sum it up, this interview could have permanently stopped the JLo-Nicki-Madonna topic if she just gave straight answers. Also I too sometimes feel like Mariah has drowned into her diva-dom and in the process the real Mariah has not only taken a back seat, it has been shifted to the trunk of the car. There is a reason most of Mariah's interviews recently are about her flashy lifestyle and her diva reputation. She has time and again highlighted her diva act over her music so now people focus on that. Even if they don't she brings it up herself. (Thursday 19 May 2016; 18:01)

Re: After show (62,373) (62,395) by Mara from United States Thank you RJJ12. (Thursday 19 May 2016; 17:41)

Media's response to WWHL (62,394) by Shezz from Pk Is it bothering anybody else that the media is just picking up clips of Mariah saying she doesn't know her (JLo) but leaving out her saying "ofcourse I know who she is, I just don't know her"? I wish she had rehearsed a better response. I understand that it's not a deep show but nobody has missed this opportunity to rip her apart even more. Her answers always seem to indecisive and scattered. I can't believe she has nobody on her team to give her a third person perspective on what to say and what not to say and to leave her hair the hell alone. She definitely gained no new fans with this interview because all the nicer parts were peppered with silly catty responses. As much as I am looking forward to the docu-series, I'm pretty sure it will have more of the same behaviour with a few serious moments in between. (Thursday 19 May 2016; 17:27)

Why the feud won't go away (62,393) by Nikki from usa Is because J.Lo keeps it alive. She originally played nice when she started AI and so did Mariah. MC stood up and clapped for J.Lo for her lipsynced barely dancing performance on AI. J.Lo got asked for her opinion on the whole Minaj thing and J.Lo intercepted talking about herself and how Mariah was mean to her a decade ago. That's how this whole thing got dredged up again. J.Lo threw more shade at Mariah after MC announced her residency. Then, J.Lo stated on Andy's show she'd rather watch Spears than Mariah and then again when she confirmed she's seen nearly every show in Vegas except for Mariah's. Just over a year ago, live in interview, J.Lo said she and Mariah never met. Yet, on Wendy, she claims they've met "many times" and Mariah's "forgetful". It wasn't reported on this site, but while Mariah was on tour J.Lo had a tweet that went viral after Mariah cancelled her Brussels concert. She claimed something along the lines of Mariah won't have to worry about continuing her tour because she won't be able to sell enough tickets anyway. After a few days J.Lo came out claiming it was false, it wasn't her, and someone was pulling some kind of prank or false identity. This is why Mariah's pic with a meet n' greet fan who brought and held the "I don't know her" sign gained such momentum. Contrary to what this board believes - I looked through Mariah's social media sites and this pic isn't on any of them. The only site I found with that pic was called "The Shade Room". Gossip columnists took the pic and story from that site. Mariah and her team didn't endorse it. (Thursday 19 May 2016; 17:16)

Telling phrases (62,392) by RibbonB from USA Two of the most telling phrases Mariah said on WWHL: One is that she didn't say the reality show will show her open and vulnerable. She said there will be moments, many moments. We shall see what that means. She also said that it makes her angry when Prince is not talked about and remembered as the musical genius and legend that he is. The irony is this series seems designed to cater to the meme loving teens and drama queens, tea sippers etc. Hopefully some moments of her own genius will shine through for her own legacy. I hope the children are not allowed to be on the show. Well, maybe for their birthday. (Thursday 19 May 2016; 16:41)

Re: Reality show will be a disaster? (62,386) (62,391) by darrian liu from taiwan You see, that's not the right direction for Mariah to go to. The public really doesn't know (and doesn't care) if her diva antics are just jokes. If Mariah's World is full of catchphrases and shade, Mariah's going to be a meme in public's eyes, not the legend she is (and she more than deserves to be seen as a legend). Mariah's World could be a cult hit, but is that really beneficial for Mariah if it goes big because of Mariah's diva antics, shade and meaningless punchlines? That would be good for Mariah only in a very brief time period, but it would probably seal the coffin for any hope that the public would adore Mariah again. I really don't put emphasis on the "hit" factor of the docu-series, but rather that the show would help Mariah's image to repair itself and get her back into the public's love. And having a show full of shady lines surely ain't going to do that. (Thursday 19 May 2016; 16:31)

Re: Yes, you do know her (62,388) (62,390) by ADAM from USA I don't know why Andy didn't mention Jennifer's nice comment about Mariah from her first visit. Do you remember when Jennifer said she would like to be friends with Mariah and that anything that's been put out there in the press that's negative really hurts her feelings because she's always respected Mariah. She also said that My All was one of her favorites all-time songs. To me, that was such a beautiful and sincere expression that I don't think if Mariah was informed of that she would still harbor shade towards Jennifer. Mariah's recent appearance on WWHL didn't help bridge the gap between the two. I think by her not answering if she seems cool or not makes Mariah appear bitter and jealous. I think Mariah unfortunately nowadays has fully embodied the diva persona to where it's now longer an at but her personality. I really think she has become a shell of her former self in the worse way. Seeing her flinch and always prop her hair or lighting like a Barbie doll is so grating, I don't know how long James will put up with it. I think it's just a matter of time before the mystique of being with Mariah Carey wears off and the divadom sets in that this woman is lost and confused. (Thursday 19 May 2016; 16:26)

Re: Reality show will be a disaster? (62,292) (62,386) (62,389) by Andrew from UK "TV-event of the what now?" I never considered trolling could be the other way around: trolling false-positives to irritate. If you're reading this on your phone: I've given you a thumbs up, so please lock your screen and turn your phone upside down. (Thursday 19 May 2016; 15:50)

Re: Yes, you do know her (62,384) (62,388) by Mirage_Nunez from America Come on now. If there's one feud we can give MC credit for taking the high road on, it would be the Nicki feud. Nicki dragged and berated Mariah all over Twitter and even on the show and Mariah has yet to rant about her. I'm sorry but you really can't fault her for not kissing Nicki's butt after that mess. Doesn't means she's bitter just not she's just not gonna be fake so people can like her. JLo still doesn't like Mariah either, she just hides it on camera, but behind the scenes things like this happens. Like I've said in a previous post I think when MC originally said the "I don't know her" line, she was deflecting because she didn't want to be fake about it or negative so she just tried to dodge it all together. So the explanation we got on Andy was really her explaining that. They still never got aquatinted or had a conversation, but honestly I do hope they can all bury the hatchet one day.

WWHL (62,387) by Nowayjoseh from UK I would love to watch the full episode tonight guys. Anyone can help? Im desperate I cannot find it. Lol. (Thursday 19 May 2016; 15:19)

Reality show will be a disaster? (62,292) (62,386) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End It's Chicken Little all over again QueenLambassador. These people's default position is negative -7. Watch them all flip-flop when Mariah's World is a cult hit. It never gets old. Mariah is a one-woman comedic genius about to be unleashed on the GP and these people aren't ready. [censored] you rarely are. [censored] enough to get her will become lambs for life. She has always been the same person. Anyone who claims she has changed, ironically, doesn't know her and will never have the privilege. [censored] aren't known for being nuanced in their perceptions, they are usually [censored]. I honestly can't wait for all the quotation and gif-sets to be born out of this. It's gonna be epic on seven ascending levels. Years from now we will all talk about where we were and what we were doing during the TV-event of the millennium known as Mariah's World. So, move over Game Of Thrones and forget about The Walking Dead. MiMi's got phrases to coin and leaders to shade. I don't know her could use a couple new siblings, don't you think? (Thursday 19 May 2016; 15:16)

Where can I watch WWHL? (62,385) by Martyn from England, UK I've seen a few clips, but I can't seem to find the full episode anywhere. Could somebody help me please? (I'm in the UK so I can't watch on American only sites.) Much appreciated. (Thursday 19 May 2016; 15:04)

Yes, you do know her (62,384) by Andrew from UK Mariah's WWHL explanation for "I don't know her" was weak and frankly was about as convincing as her lipped whistle notes. Watching the old comment back, the transfixed smile says a lot. The response to the Nicki Minaj question, although somewhat witty, was pathetic: why not just name three Minaj songs and say, "She's a good musician, we had a spat but it's over now." What good came of her response? To not put these things to bed quickly is damaging, especially when they involve people with, currently, more respect than her. I agree with the assertion that Mariah has probably morphed into the "diva" she was pretending to be, and it's possible she's done it for so long she's forgotten how to be anything else. It has increasingly looked that way. (Thursday 19 May 2016; 14:34)

Re: WWHL (62,382) (62,383) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Oh thanks Licia and M. I must have mistakenly heard "reel" instead of "reveal". It makes sense if he said "she was into the trailer reveal". JLo must be on the phone now with her manager like "When are we getting my docu-series (not reality show) on E. Must not be a more than a month after Mariah, you hear me?" Haha just kidding. Thanks for clearing the confusion guys. (Thursday 19 May 2016; 14:18)

Re: WWHL (62,378) (62,382) by Malcolm from Asia I think it's in the NBC Upfronts where all of them are in the theater, the one Mariah had her over the top entrance. I guess when the Mariah's World trailer previews in it, Andy Cohen saw or intentionally looked JLo's reaction for that. (Thursday 19 May 2016; 13:28)

Re: After show (62,377) (62,381) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada I agree Licia the after show had some nice parts and the Prince mention really resonated with me. I feel a lot of what people term as antics from Mariah stems from the fact that she absolutely hates being misinterpreted and pretty much everything she says can be skewed and dissected tons of different ways that she doesn't intend but it seems like she understands that avoiding questions also backfired. I delicate balance to always be so fatuous of what you say. (Thursday 19 May 2016; 13:12)

Mariah lowered her shade (62,380) by Sheila from United States Evidently darling someone has been making strives to better Mariah's image. The public thinks Mariah is a mean shade queen who does not embrace the youth in the music industry. Hopefully, this reality show will help her image and the public falls back in love with her. (Thursday 19 May 2016; 12:55)

Re: WWHL (62,378) (62,379) by Licia from USA I believe J. Lo was at the NBC Upfront thing when Mariah debuted the trailer for the show. (Thursday 19 May 2016; 12:49)

WWHL (62,378) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Does anyone know what Andy meant when he said "She seemed into the teaser reel for your series" about JLo to Mariah? Did JLo say anything about Mariah's show? (Thursday 19 May 2016; 12:33)

Re: After show (62,373) (62,377) by Licia from USA Thanks for the link. I enjoyed the aftershow segment more than the original interview. I loved the part about Prince and I'm glad she said something nice about Madonna. I wish I could take out the J.Lo and Nicki section of the original interview and replaced it with the aftershow. Lol. (Thursday 19 May 2016; 11:26)

Re: Will the real Mariah please stand up? (62,366) (62,376) by BIGGEST MC FAN from UNITED STATES The early-mid 90s Mariah wasn't confident and even depressed and repressed in her marriage with Tommy Motolla. I liked the Butterfly and Rainbow era Mimi the best. I think she's been joking with this diva attitude for so long that she actually became a real diva. (Thursday 19 May 2016; 11:03)

New music? (62,375) by Hanno van Leeuwen from The Netherlands In all these last appearances and interviews, was there even a question about the important things like if there is any new music on the way or was it only bs about JLo and all the others. It seems like that they are more interested in Mariah's divaness rather than asking the right questions. (Thursday 19 May 2016; 8:06)
