Sweden concert (61,011) by Ben from Sweden I was at the concert in Stockholm in Sweden. The best performance was "Against All Odds" to me personally, and the surprise performance to me was the song "Loverboy". I loved it. (Sunday 3 April 2016; 15:56)

SSFT Oslo vocals (61,010) by darrian liu from taiwan Are amazing. Really bright, clear and smooth. (Sunday 3 April 2016; 15:19)

Re: TMZ quote / Stella (60,996) (61,009) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha we need Wendy to warn Mariah some more. Someone needs to. With Stella's own overtly trashy posts and now encouraging Mariah to go down the trashy route (with the new IG picture and all) I just hope she doesn't turn Mariah into a Kardashian. Mariah has always been classy and sexy. Never trashy. And whether we like it or not, the habits and behaviors of people we surround ourselves with frequently rub off on us and it is clearly rubbing off on Mariah. If she was alone in the picture, I think it would have been less trashy but the fact that she is being hugged by one guy while the other is looking at her almost sexually is just unnecessary especially with Dembabies and James in her life. I get feeling confident but this is taking it too far. (Sunday 3 April 2016; 15:00)

Re: Stella (60,997) and Mariah's finances (61,008) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The whole "I am now much more financially successful" made me cringe so hard, I think I will be getting premature wrinkles from this alone. Since when does Mariah talk about her financial state? Woman you are worth an estimated $520 million dollars. Yes we have the usual "I love you like Asscher cut diamond rings" and "I packed up my Louis Vuitton" and "I got a pip penthouse" moments in her songs, but that's done by everyone and is not that frequently done by Mariah. She does it in a few songs just to show her luxurious glam side. But this is just embarrassing. Mariah are you even reading before you are signing or is Stella holding a water gun behind your back? (Sunday 3 April 2016; 14:52)

SNL and FNP (61,007) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I'm all for her as a SNL host and participating in skits. She did a great job in Friday Night Project show as a host and skits. If you all haven't seen it here is part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5. I hope Eric won't mind posting the links. Sorry if it has been posted before. (Sunday 3 April 2016; 14:42)

New pic (61,006) by Lara from Middle East Oh no, it can't be. Since when Mariah started to act like J-Lo? And Stella is reposting it on her instagram like one wasn't enough. We know Mariah always liked to be (and act) sexy but this isn't. It's vulgar just like someone close to her. I don't like what I'm seeing. (Sunday 3 April 2016; 13:29)

"One Sweet Day" (61,005) by Billy from Greece I'm really surprised she has included this song in an international setlist. I would prefer her to do "Through the Rain" instead. Oh well. (Sunday 3 April 2016; 13:24)

Mimi's booty (61,004) by darrian liu from taiwan While they're beautiful, I don't think that pic will do any good to Mariah. Mariah's losing the weight and she looks incredible but there are better ways to show off her body. I bet Stella's the one taking that pic. (Sunday 3 April 2016; 13:21)

Re: SSFT Olso 2016 vocals (60,998) (61,003) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Best rendition of My All from this tour and in recent years. (Sunday 3 April 2016; 13:03)

Article: I cleaned house because my staff didn't have my back (61,002) by supafly from Haha. Mariah did not write/say that. (Sunday 3 April 2016; 11:27)

Best TV move (61,001) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines In my opinion, the best career move that she can do on TV right now isn't guesting on Empire. I have this feeling that they're just gonna go the easy route and write her has a diva on that show, and we all know the public has had more than enough of that. She should host and perform on Saturday Night Live. Be funny, very meta and self-deprecating in all of her skits. Show a wider audience that she not only still has the musical chops but the sense of humor as well. Her usual guest spots on talk shows - she can have those too, but sadly they don't seem to generate much public interest. (Sunday 3 April 2016; 11:23)

The tour is working (61,000) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Other than rekindling relationships with fans and former ones, the best thing this tour is doing for Mariah is warming her voice up. She isn't quite there yet, but at least she sound a little more consistent these days. Baby steps and we'll get there. We can all breathe knowing that other than the frequent splashes, it was also the law of disuse after all. (Sunday 3 April 2016; 11:16)

Re: MC new pic (60,988) (60,999) by Lee TS from USA She looks like a lady of the night and those men are waiting for their turn. I'm sorry but it looks cheap and wreaks of desperation. I mean, is that what they do in Sweden Mariah? Not cute. Not sexy. Just not. Ugh, why? (Sunday 3 April 2016; 11:14)

SSFT Olso 2016 vocals (60,998) by 123 from USA Very nice. She sounds so good. (Sunday 3 April 2016; 7:18)

Stella (60,997) by Licia from USA I'm glad that most are now seeing what I have seen since the beginning of this partnership with Stella. One of the reasons that I stayed away for a little while is my dislike of Stella and where she's taking Mariah. You know the old saying "If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all." That's where I am with her right now. I won't take away from the fact that she has brought in alot of revenue for Mariah, but I feel that Mariah is doing things now that she's never had to do before (pimiping out her relationship, promoting and selling everything, this docu reality series, etc). I've only been a fan because of the music. Although I understand her need to have side ventures, I'd like more music and right now that's not her or Stella's focus. Isn't that what she's known for? For me the real test will be if we get any new music and how it will be handled. Will new music get the same amount of promotion and energy as the side deals and reality series are? I agree with Marissa about that picture. I usually don't focus on things like this when it comes to Mariah, but I'm not getting the point of this picture and why it needed to be posted. I won't even get into this supposed statement about her staff because I really don't have anything good to say about that. Lol. (Sunday 3 April 2016; 5:06)

Re: TMZ quote / Stella (60,987) (60,996) by 123 from USA No you are right, it's definitely damage control on Stella's part. Especially after Wendy Williams of all people tells Mariah through the T.V that Stella isn't good for her. Maybe Mariah had a "conversation" with her after that story aired. Instead of an article she should just take in the feedback and make changes in her behavior. I don't like how she's been acting one bit either, I'm just appreciative of her part in Mariah's resurgence. It doesn't mean I'm not watching her and giving her the side eye, she doesn't seem trustworthy. This is all just my assumption. (Sunday 3 April 2016; 4:44)

Re: MC new pic (60,990) (60,995) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ugh yes, with her being engaged to someone else, this picture is a little too risque but hey how can you question why Stella allowed it when Stella is probably there yelling "Yass queen, give me more of the booty Mimi, eternal love light and laughter. Hashtag empower women, hashtag empower your girls, hashtag fun fearless women, hashtag f**k the haters." Not saying that Mariah hasn't posted scandalous pictures before, but it was mainly for Nick (which was still uncomfortable because girl you do know there are private ways of sending them instead of "@-ing your boo on twitter". But this is a little well, risque. (Sunday 3 April 2016; 2:57)

Re: Bye Russian mafia [censored] (60,991) (60,994) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Excellent points RibbonB, those are some of the things I meant to write in my last post, but I posted in a rush and forgot. You are right, Mariah has always been so discreet about her choices, be it professional or personal. We never heard anything about why JD, and Randy were dropped, yes there were rumors, but straight quotes from Mariah or her reps? Never. Doing this is basically calling more trouble (like Stella did by calling out tabloids). This opens the door for more allegations about mistreatment and all from these dismissed staff members and unnecessary law suits. I also noticed how Stella has this habit of making sure her name is mentioned in everything Mariah does. The Style magazine article mentioned her, this TMZ story has her name. She is everywhere. Never in my life have I seen a manager be such an attention seeker. Many managers have been known to be a pain, but they are never on the forefront, trying to get a piece of the spotlight. Also why do we give so much credit to Stella, don't get me wrong but I don't see Stella on stage there killing it at every show in the Euro tour. Unless of course, it's Stella singing and Mariah lip syncing. (Sunday 3 April 2016; 2:47)

Cleaning house (60,993) by Natalia from Italy I think this is a great sign. Mariah is trying something new, and trying to get something "big" (all caps) to really happen here. If these people have been around all these years, and have not made much of a difference, something needs to change. Mariah is entering a whole new era, she is past the golden goddess phase, and has moved on to the "diamond queen" phase (work with me here, not sure what to call it). Anyway I find it very exciting. When you shake things up, great things can happen. This could be the beginning of something huge. (Sunday 3 April 2016; 1:13)

Behind the scenes (60,992) by Liz Archer from Sweden Honestly, we don't know what is going on behind the scene. Mariah has had a few unsuccessful years and maybe those "people" she fired was aiding in that failure. We don't know. All I know is that it has gone pretty well for Mariah lately. Las Vegas was a hit, and this tour has been an excellent idea. Her voice has improved immensely, she is back to shape. She is more comfortable on the stage once again. Her old fans (and maybe some new ones) gets to see her sing like she used to and I guess the idea of this documentary is to try to gain some new fans or bring back some go the old. It's how media today works, so she is trying to gain some momentum so people don't forget her. If she releases an album soon I think it could work, but honestly it depends on her new manager and what she does next. She is getting married soon (I guess) and if she decided to be a stay-home mom it can affect her album releases. She need to really promote her new work and if she doesn't it could fail, which seem to be happening before. And of course the material has to be good. Honestly I hope she doesn't stop the Las Vegas thing, I hope to see her there. Trying to save for it, but another tour wouldn't be that bad. It seem very successful and I wish I had the opportunity to see it, but not this time. I mean, sure. I am not a big fan of Stella and how she does certain things (her daughter, her behaviour to media), but if she can get Mariah the "it girl" again and have a successful album release, because that is what I guess fans want, to hear new music and wish her more success, then fine. So I guess we just have to wait and see. Ps. My thoughts might be scambled, it's late. (Sunday 3 April 2016; 0:00)

Bye Russian mafia [censored] (60,991) by RibbonB from USA Please people this lady needs to go. She is all in it for the money and her self interests. Mariah is a means to her ends. Trust any success Mariah has achieved she could have had it without miss Stella. What she doesn't need is a reality show, that is all for Stella. So whether Mariah approved Stella's quotes to TMZ of all places, or whether she is being blackmailed like some other tabloid suggested, Stella is bad news and self serving. The biggest kicker is Stella to say, or attribute any comments to Mariah which disparage prior employees is unprofessional, unethical and leaves Mariah subject to lawsuits. Forget about ego, what about professionalism and being discreet, which Mariah has been for her entire career. Stella sucks and has been planting stories left and right in the Daily Mail and now feeding TMZ. Girl bye. MIAM flopped for many reasons, mainly it wasn't that great, and it was a bit too personal and specific and premature. The divorce ain't even final yet. I'll stop there. (Saturday 2 April 2016; 23:29)

Re: MC new pic (60,988) (60,990) by Marissa from USA That picture needs to go ASAP. This picture look for her ass to be the focus of the photo and a man (regardless of whether he's a dancer or whatever) hugged up on her when she's engaged. This is some Kardashian trash and I wouldn't be surprised if you-know-who was the one who took the photo. I actually think this is worse than the Valentine's Day Nick photo, even though that should have been kept private as well. Legends don't need to do this. Press delete. I'm ready to meet Stella outside at this point. If you run your client's Instagram, why would you let this happen? (Saturday 2 April 2016; 22:43)

Re: TMZ quote / Stella (60,986) (60,989) by Gino from Italy Very well presented argument here and you've got me thinking about the ways Stella has actually made a positive impact. It's easy to forget that, not saying I like the woman or anything. We shall see, with the doc and any new music, only time will tell. (Saturday 2 April 2016; 22:16)

MC new pic (60,988) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Did any of you see this picture yet? I had to check the user handle twice to make sure I didn't read it wrong and that this is Mariah. She hasn't posted a photo this scandalous since the bath tub candy bra pictures during Valentine's Day for Nick. (Saturday 2 April 2016; 22:08)

Re: TMZ quote / Stella (60,986) (60,987) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I have no doubts that Mariah approved it, because well if she didn't Stella would be fired immediately, but my main problem is that was this statement even required? Many celebrities change their whole teams to start afresh. No one has been questioned. Mariah has not been questioned either, it was just Stella who whose reputation was being dragged (and to some point she brought it on herself by talking trash back to tabloids and insulting Mariah's fans). So why did Mariah need to "make" this statement? This is such a random reason to go on record to TMZ. It makes absolutely zero sense to me. (Saturday 2 April 2016; 21:48)
