Re: The return Of Bianca (61,340) (61,348) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mara in the pictures of her as Bianca she looks like Stella so much, I just can't. As for the other picture with the fans (I am assuming it was a meet and greet picture?) we probably have to give her a pass on that since that makeup was for the show and I guess she has to wear heavier makeup than what she would normally wear as it's for the stage. Another reason for Mariah wearing heavier makeup maybe since she is filming everything and has harsh lighting on her at all moments because of this. Lord knows, but yes I do prefer her with light dewy makeup with nice flushed pink cheeks. She looks so youthful that way. She should not contour at all, just maybe bronze a little if she wants to. Leave the contouring to Stella. (Saturday 16 April 2016; 15:48)

Re: Mariah in Paris 21/4 (61,343) (61,347) by ksquarred from paris I am. I can't wait. (Saturday 16 April 2016; 15:46)

Bianca (61,345) by yiorgos from Germany , Berlin So excited she is back. Mariah in general looks great lately. Although I have to agree that the make up is a bit too much, too drag, too much conturing I think, looks more like stage or film make up so in a snap shoot looks a bit weird. But we dont know what she was up to when she took the photo and why Bianca is back so lets just be happy and wait and see. (Saturday 16 April 2016; 13:58)

Mariah in Paris 21/4 (61,343) by yiorgos from Germany , Berlin Hey guys, I am thinking about booking last minute tickets to go and see Mariah in Paris next week. Is anyone of you going as well ? (Saturday 16 April 2016; 13:53)

Re: One more (61,336) (61,342) by darrian liu from taiwan I agree. I always thought Mariah doesn't really suit heavy makeup. She looks the best with light makeup imo, like the cover of Style magazine. But then let's just focus on Bianca's return. I literally screamed when I saw Mariah with the black hair. (Saturday 16 April 2016; 12:26)

It's Bianca, bitch (61,341) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines While I'm happy for Bianca's return, my evil alter ego is just ready to cut whoever is responsible for, dare I say it, making her look like a contender in Ru Paul's Drag Race. Look, I speak for both my Jekyll and Hyde that I know nothing about makeup, but I know when it's too damn much. Now where's that makeup artist as we're about to have an epic bathroom brawl circa 1999. (Saturday 16 April 2016; 6:29)

Re: The return Of Bianca (61,333) (61,340) by Mara from United States Loving the fact that Mariah brought Bianca back after all this time. Not loving how, ugh makeup MC has on in these photos though. I can't put my finger on it but Mariah looks different. I noticed it in the last pics that were posted with a male fan. Is it the eyebrows? In the one Bianca pic someone thought she looked like a Jackson. I don't know about that, but she does look different. I wish she would tone down some of that contouring though, maybe that is what it is as Mariah always just brushed the apples of her cheeks with some color. It was never this harsh. I noticed in those pics Stella, Mariah and Miska almost look the same. It has to be the way the makeup is being applied. I am not crazy about the eyebrows either. Sorry MC, everything else looks great. Her body is amazing in these pics. (Saturday 16 April 2016; 5:26)

Bianca is back queen (61,339) by Travon..SweetSweetFantasy from USA I am dying at my excitement for the return of Mariah's alter ego, Bianca Darlings. Fierce is her look but evil is her game. I love it. Haha. Slay my throat queen. Empress of intrigue and queen of evil get the knife ready. My neck is open for your beautiful slashing. Gush it out darling. Gush it out. You gotta love it. Haha. (Saturday 16 April 2016; 2:30)

Re: The return Of Bianca (61,333) (61,338) by Licia from USA Yeah I'm not digging the makeup, but she looks great nonetheless. Work b*tch. (Saturday 16 April 2016; 1:53)

Re: Stella is not good at her job at all (61,330) (61,337) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Yes. Preach Daydream327. This is exactly my opinion. I just find it weird that a grown intelligent woman like Mariah thinks this is fine. (Saturday 16 April 2016; 1:50)

One more (61,336) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ok so she added one more. After staring at the two for a while, I am getting more and more bothered by the atrocious makeup. If this if Kris Buckle's job, he needs to get a heave ho for taking inspiration from Stella. But hey for all we know Stella did the makeup for Mariah since she is taking over all the other positions either ways. I am torn between being super excited and being super pissed how Bianca's return is accompanied by such hideous makeup. Even though Bianca was always evil, her makeup was never so heavy. Stella change this right now. (Saturday 16 April 2016; 1:44)

She's back (61,335) by Marissa from USA Bianca is back everyone and prepared to take your man. It's about damn time. Also, I need MC to fire her makeup artist. The blush and contouring has been way too severe lately to the point where there has been heavy speculation that she's recently had work done. "Say it ain't so." (Saturday 16 April 2016; 1:42)

Re: Mary (61,334) by Ian from United Kingdom Sarah, I couldn't agree more, I've been a fan of Mariah since 1990, a fan of Mary J Blige since 1992 and still love both. They are both to me artists who can touch you in different ways and both have had their ups and downs through their careers yet always when people think they are past it, pull it back and deliver the goods. Mariah will always be my number one but Mary is not too far behind. (Also I have major love for Patti LaBelle, Gladys Knight, Regina Belle, Puff Johnson (R.I.P), CeCe Winans. I could go on and on.) (Saturday 16 April 2016; 1:35)

The return Of Bianca (61,333) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ok everybody, this is not a drill, I repeat, this is not a drill. Bianca is back. This was posted to Mariah's account. The makeup is kinda making Mariah look like Stella here, but I can't be bothered at the moment, because I have waited for so long for Bianca's return. Is this going to be a skit where the Bulochnikovs are dressed as Mariah and Mariah is dressed as Stella (oops I meant Bianca, sorry). No seriously I want to know. Is this a freaking new music video? Good Lord I need answers. (Saturday 16 April 2016; 1:34)

Bulochnikovs turning into a Carey? (61,332) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I was semi stalking (or is it full blown stalking?) Stella's account and she posted 2 new photos. this and this. As much as I am not a fan of the Bulochnikovs, I have to admit, little Mishka does look like a doll here, very beautiful girl, who will unfortunately get a lot of hate due to her mom's stage mom syndrome. I already saw her get dragged on Mariah's account the other day when she made a spelling error, writing "ware" instead of "wear". Which wasn't the only time she made an error (but back then people thought it was Stella), so all the more reasons to let the girl get her education first and then carry on with showbiz if that's what she wants. But anyways that's their business, but did Stella finally go a little easy on the contour? Or is it the lighting? I can't with Stella Kardashian-ing her bottom to weird proportions lol. Anyways so they seem to be dressed like Mariah, as the captions suggest. I wonder what tomfoolery this is going to lead to since she is hash-tagging "Mariah's world" in both the pictures so it might suggest that this will be a part of the show? (Saturday 16 April 2016; 1:28)

Re: Mary (61,326) (61,331) by Licia from USA Sarah I agree. In the beginning Mariah's sound was never categorized as rnb/hip hop. It was pop/hip hop. Mary and Mariah have excelled at what they do best and both deserve to be credited for bringing something to the music game that had not been done. I don't care who did what first because they both are great at it. Both of them deserve props. I was waiting on someone to try to act like Mary hasnt contributed anything just because they don't care for her music. (Saturday 16 April 2016; 1:13)

Stella is not good at her job at all (61,330) by Daydream327 from USA I haven't posted on here in awhile but I feel like this needed to be said. Mariah is a grown woman and will do whatever she wants and hire whoever she wants, this is just my opinion. I see a lot of lambs giving Stella entirely too much credit. Truth be told, Stella has did absolutely nothing for Mariah's career. Lambs need to open their eyes. If anything she is only slowly steering Mariah away from the most important thing... the music and fans. Mariah is more confident now because she has lost weight, she's always seemed happier when she has gotten smaller, that goes without saying. Vegas and the tour were already lined up before Stella even entered the picture, she had nothing to with making those things happen they were gonna happen with or without her. Now one thing I've noticed that lambs can agree on is that she has helped rebuild Mariah's public image. Okay, but how is she so-called "rebuilding Mariah's image"? By leaking photos and stories to TMZ? Yes, TMZ. Mariah's career has now resorted to such gimmick antics. These are the exact things that the talentless do to gain some attention. These are the exact things that Mariah was never about in the past. To be honest the blatant leaked billionaire boyfriend headlines and candids actually made me question if the relationship was even real. Don't get me wrong if Mariah is truly happy, I'm happy. But the TMZ stories were a bit much and out of character of Mariah. It was just very odd that all of sudden there was a new headline everyday on TMZ. Not for anything music related but for the new "billionaire" boo. It was obvious these stories were leaked, a non-fan could see that and all of it was honestly cringeworthy. And that's when I realized Stella had no idea as to what she was doing. The thing is people will always have something negative to say about Mariah or any celeb for that matter, so I don't see how Stella helped "rebuild" her public image. I don't believe that it was ever ruined. If anything by leaking these stories it just made the public question her parenting. I can't count how many times I read "Ehy is Mariah letting this man she just met around her kids?" What I can say is that whenever Mariah has a great performance or releases great music people only speak great things about her. It reminds everybody why they first fell in love with her. Talent will always win regardless, that's for sure. But it all makes sense to me. Stella is a reality tv executive, she has no experience in the music industry or managing an artist of Mariah's caliber. You see where I'm going here. This woman has no idea what she's doing. Mariah is a legend not a reality tv star, she isn't a newcomer, she already has a core fanbase. She doesn't have to do these things to gain relevancy. Stella has did nothing but alienate and confuse fans. If her goal is to reach the new generation, then she needs to find someone who understands the music industry today and help Mariah to become more viral and give her direction. If not then at least try not to tarnish the legacy she has. Stella has her 12 year old daughter running Mariah's social media? Now this concerns me. Social media has always been a way for Mariah to connect with her fans directly and now that is taken away. I just don't understand nor connect with the present Mariah. I'll always love her of course. I just don't know what's going on but I feel it's all gonna lead up to a disaster. The reality show series on E. sounds cheap and unlike anything Mariah would have ever agreed to do in the past. Why not an HBO or Showtime documentary? I remember reading about an HBO doc a couple year ago, what happened? E. is not worthy of Mariah Carey to be honest. But once again Stella does reality tv, so what did we expect? BTW these are just my thoughts on the situation they are not in any way influenced by what Eddie had to say about Stella. We don't know what motives Stella has nor do we know what motives her old team had. I'm simply commenting on Stella's job as Mariah's manager. Do I think she's using Mariah for her own career gain? Yes. but do we know this for sure? No. So I'll just keep those comments to myself. Yes, we all should be worried about Mariah's well-being but once again Mariah chose these people to be in her life. All we can do is hope her vision is not clouded and she can see who's truly genuine and who's not. We can't make her see these things she has to for herself. (Friday 15 April 2016; 20:57)

Mary J Blidge (61,329) by Giovanni from USA As a singer is nowhere near Mariah. Mary has always struggled live, sounds flat and usually always dodges certain notes. She's a studio singer with no technique. I hear no soul in her voice, and her tone is not pleasant. I sound like a hater but I'm not. I like Mary and a few of her songs. She had success and made a name for herself. But as a singer she falls short. Joss Stone has way more soul and is a way better singer. She sings circles around Mary. (Friday 15 April 2016; 20:23)

Re: "Just hold on..." (61,321) (61,328) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Thanks Mimi L for sharing. It's so nice to see this. Don't get me wrong I'm not complaining. Just nice to hear it this way again. Lost count of how many versions there are where she goes "Just hold on and hold on and hold on on on." Lol. (Friday 15 April 2016; 20:10)

Re: "My All" Cologne (61,301) (61,327) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Wow. This is one example why she's a legend in music. Gorgeous. (Friday 15 April 2016; 20:02)

Re: Mary (61,324) (61,326) by Sarah from Netherlands That makes zero sense, as soulful as Mariah's voice is, her music is not. It's R&B. So I don't really see why we're comparing Mariah and MJB, they have very different target demographics and very different sounds. It's possible to love one without delegitimizing the other's success or career. Or, and I know this might be a wild idea but you can actually be a fan of both without feeling the need to compare to find out who's better *gasp*. Realize how this never happens with male artists by the way? Oh. (Friday 15 April 2016; 18:00)

Re: Stella, the brainwashing hag from the lost world (61,315) (61,325) by Luke from United Kingdom I think so too. I agree about James too, I think she's most confident when she's in love and has that support. God knows how lonely her life must be, so having James there must make her feel secure. (Friday 15 April 2016; 16:02)

Re: Mary (61,323) (61,324) by B from USA I think Mariah's better than MJB. I only like a handful of MJB's songs. Mariah is the queen of R&B Hip-hop soul. She took Mary's crown when she released Butterfly. The collaborators that Billboard spoke with are mad that Mariah is still successful and they're not. Mariah has earned the industry's respect. (Friday 15 April 2016; 15:00)

Mary (61,323) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Mary J Blige's image was built around being from the ghetto or hood. Puffy and Andre Harrell came up with this style of R&B song sung over hip hop beat thus the queen of hip hop soul was born. Mary herself once said when she first got signed the team at Uptown/MCA records had no idea what to do with her as an artist because at the time the building of grand pop diva was still very popular i.e. Whitney and Mariah. Mary also stated how Vision Of Love was a song that she and friends loved and tried to sing but knew they couldn't hit the notes Mariah hit in the song but they tried for fun anyway. So the respect between Mary and Mariah has been there even from afar. (Friday 15 April 2016; 14:00)

Re: Mariah Carey's collaborators share untold... (61,320) (61,322) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines I feel like the reason why Mariah isn't as respected as her 90s peers, except maybe for Celine, is that most critics and the public don't look too kindly upon commercial success, as if it somehow takes away the artistic and critical merit of a song when it becomes a massive hit. She has always been regarded as a singer whose talent was one for the record books than the great American songbook. Her soulfulness has always been questioned. I used to fuss about this, but eventually I realized that at the end of the day, she's still had a phenomenal career, and that in reality, only a small portion of the music-loving public would actually give a damn about critical success. The rest of them just care about what sounds good - and Mariah's output, at the very least, sounds great (caps) 95% of the time. (Friday 15 April 2016; 12:32)
