Re: The breast boob (61,512) (61,522) by 123 from USA I can see your point, but you should take into account when she said she wanted to be taken as seriously as Mary. This was 1995 Mariah with the perfect "girl next door/preacher's wife" image, who was still repressed in every single aspect of her life. She was itching to do music with a "harder edge" since she her music back then was considered by people like Crystal Light. Sweet, light, and pretty. She cared a lot more back then about what people thought about her. Whitney and Oprah told her it was because she was in her 20's and once she hit her 30's, she wasn't going to care anymore. Even if Mariah did cover up, I don't know if she will ever get the credibility she deserves. Even in her early days she was covered up but only got recognition for her singing, for some reason, public opinion has always been polarizing when it came to Mariah. Regarding Coco and Chanel, I do wish she would sometimes make better choices. There are some numbers that are way too risqué, especially in the presence of children. I remember the Adventures tour and there were two young girls in front of me who just wanted to hear her sing WBT, I was embarrassed they could see all the booty. Revealing is sexy in her eyes as she is insecure and didn't always feel pretty growing up and first got attention from a guy who told her she had a nice ass when she wore some tight jeans. So takes a page from Toni Braxton, "How high is that slit, I'll take it." Who grew up as the nerdy preacher's kid and not the beautiful sex siren image she has today. She just needs a better stylist who can have her look, dress, and feel sexy without being overexposed. Stella, since you are cleaning house, add a new stylist to the list.

Re: Essence show (61,507) (61,521) by 123 from USA If she brings vocals from the best nights of this tour she will do great. She needs to make sure the live vocals are on point because a predominantly African American crowd will call her out in an instant. I don't want it to be another Jamaica saga. I wouldn't mind her magically adding a Chicago date. One can dream. (Saturday 23 April 2016; 6:15)

Re: The Beautiful Ones (61,503) (61,520) by 123 from USA It would and since it was a duet she could have Trey sing with her. (Saturday 23 April 2016; 5:45)

Re: The breast boob (61,518) (61,519) by Dustbin from USA I completely agree. Hands down she has more class and self respect than they do in their pinky. Just saying. (Saturday 23 April 2016; 3:25)

Re: The breast boob (61,512) (61,518) by Mirage_Nunez from America Really? Madonna Rihanna, Beyonce, Janet all are respected in the industry and they've all been way more exposed than Mariah. (Saturday 23 April 2016; 1:03)

Mimi L / Next Chapter / Andrew (61,517) by Randy from USA You just made my day. That color shot is so much better. I think (just for arguments sake) that would be one of her best album covers and I love the title Next Chapter. Andrew I can never tell when you are being serious or sarcastic but I will say this: I wish that the general public could hear MCs introspective songs like Vanishing, The Wind, Looking In, Close My Eyes, Outside, Petals, Twister, Right To Dream, Languishing. The image and the lyrics of those songs are such a disconnect. I know I sound like a broken record, but, the woman is a lyrical genius. She is up there with Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Jewel, Bonnie Raitt, Sarah MC and Lauryn Hill and in my opinion gets less respect as a singer/songwriter than Alicia Keys and Diane Warren and she's way better than them. And I feel like the image is in the way. What I realize now though, is MC is multidimensional. Her silliness is as much a part of her as her seriousness. I am falling in love with her all over again. I am one of the minority that didn't like MIAMTEC but loved Memoirs. I want new music because I am still not satisfied since 2009. (Saturday 23 April 2016; 0:52)

Mariah honors Prince - One Sweet Day (61,516) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Heartfelt and beautiful. Just wanted to share. (Saturday 23 April 2016; 0:40)

Re: The breast boob (61,512) (61,515) by enwar00 from usa I think Mariah should do and dress and act as she pleases. She is in fact a credible singer songwriter artist whatever you want to call it that's touched and moved millions and millions and millions of people with her songs and raw talent. Music is not heard with the eyes. Her boobs have not erased what people felt or her achievements. Those posts were in response to something spoken how many years ago. Just my opinion.

Re: Mariah Amsterdam, questions (61,497) (61,514) by Billy from Greece Hi Yiorgos. A friend of mine and I are also attending the concert tomorrow (that is, she is kind enough to join me as she is not a lamb of any sorts). Have you received any emails regarding a time change, as another person mentioned here (saying that the concert starts around 21:00). I think I'll try to be there around 18:30, unless it's too early. By the way, based on your name, should I assume that you are Greek too? (Saturday 23 April 2016; 0:01)

Marian? (61,513) by G.G. from USA It drives me crazy that my phone always changes Mariah to Marian. WTH? (Friday 22 April 2016; 22:35)

The breast boob (61,512) by Andrew from UK The recent postings about Mariah wanting to be taken as seriously as MJB, et al., are interesting. Especially given the fact that it can't be true. How can somebody who [...] reveals as much of them as possible at every given opportunity (even in a bloody wet suit) mean to be taken seriously as a credible artist and not be mocked? It's about time Mariah put her breasts away. Perhaps then her fans wouldn't be mocked themselves when declaring their love for her music. Many roads lead to her having given up on real credibility in order to get qualification by feeling physically desired. It goes with many videos of her touching her breasts and/or being almost naked and/or trying to act like a sexy princess/hoochy mama. On the Adventures Of Mimi tour she was singing practically naked. Mariah may want to consider putting the girls to bed at last and acting a little more like a globally-renowned recording artist and less like an adult entertainer. Let that be the new era.

Re: There is a photo (61,508) (61,511) by B from USA That photo is from her Vibe shoot in 2008. (Friday 22 April 2016; 21:41)

New line of vodka (61,510) by G.G. from USA From looking at some posts on Instagram, it looks like Marian has a new line of vodka coming out. Its called VDKA 6100. Here's a link. (Friday 22 April 2016; 21:33)

Re: There is a photo (61,508) (61,509) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter That's from a 2008 photo shoot for Vibe Magazine. This is the original. However "Next Chapter" would be a great title. (Friday 22 April 2016; 21:15)

There is a photo (61,508) by Randy from USA That looks like an album cover and if this was the cover and title. I would die (of happiness). (Friday 22 April 2016; 20:54)

Essence show (61,507) by Ty from USA How does Mariah's team have people purchase tickets for Friday by accident but she's performing Saturday. Smh here's my fear those African American fans will destroy her if those vocals aren't perfect. They are coming for "vocals". She needs to include "Fly like a bird". (Friday 22 April 2016; 18:21)

Hero at school (61,506) by Ty from USA Lol Andrew is always a gag. The kids vocals were perfection. And the crazy thing is the adults joined in. Hero is universal and will go down in history as a classic, even if ms. Carey feels it's corny. (Friday 22 April 2016; 18:19)

Re: Mariah's World: everything (61,483) (61,505) by Andrew from UK Haha you made a funny. You should take your meds more often. (Friday 22 April 2016; 18:13)

Re: Prince (61,487) (61,504) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Prince is a legend. What an artist. A little perspective to appreciate and live everyday. He threw a dance party just days before the spirit left the body, which is awesome in all respects. (Friday 22 April 2016; 17:58)

The Beautiful Ones (61,503) by enwar00 from usa Would be something special if she sang this now in concert. (Friday 22 April 2016; 16:44)

Re: Lyric (61,472) (61,502) by B from USA Agreed. Baby doll is a gem. (Friday 22 April 2016; 15:48)

Re: Unpopular opinion alert (61,484) (61,501) by B from USA The only songs from E=MC2 are Touch My Body, Side Effects, I'm That Chick, Thanx 4 Nothin', and For The Record. (Friday 22 April 2016; 15:47)

12 Facts (61,500) by B from USA This article says Mariah started calling her fans lambs in 2000, correct me if I'm wrong but didn't it start in 1997-1998? In the remix video for My All she's seen with a lamb Beenie Baby. (Friday 22 April 2016; 14:51)

Hero (61,499) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Mariah has always [...] Hero was not a favorite song of hers, and how she wrote [...] song in the key of Gloria Estefan's voice but it was Tommy and the higher ups at Sony that told her to keep the song for herself and it will become one of if not the most important song of her career. She has also stated how this song has helped her and many people through rough times. So for Mariah this song has a yin and a yang. (Friday 22 April 2016; 14:23)

Mariah Carey Balmain (61,498) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Forgot to add in my last post, we finally got Mariah to get on the Balmain bandwagon. Both her gorgeous shoes and that risky dress were from Balmain. This gives a clearer view of the shoes. The dress is a little too revealing though, I hope she goes for those military style signature Balmain next. But hey at least she is on board. (Friday 22 April 2016; 14:02)
