Re: Deedre (62,505) (62,516) by Shezz from Pk Deedre you hit the nail on the head. Mariah has to be ok with people seeing her the way she is seen right now or she would do something about it. Clearly Mariah has put up a wall around herself and does not care about what people say or think about her because of how malicious some have been in the past and her only way to deal with it is not to care or try and cater to everybody because she probably feels like she'll never please everybody so she'd rather have fun and enjoy her life. The only people who could tell her how her fans truly feel about some things are the Bulochnikovs who are clearly riding the diva wave and are having the time of their lives with it and since they handle her social media and probably filter what's going through to her. There still are some lambs in the twitterverse who retweet all the Mariah and Bulochnikovs pictures and don't care about making any other comments than " yas queen". Does anybody remember Liron from MariahDaily who became a part of Mariah's team? She seems to have disappeared from the scene as well. Feels like the Bulochnikovs' World with cameos from Mariah sometimes. I wonder how JD and Lee D feel about her new team. Here's hoping that thunder truly does preceed the sunlight and that she will be alright and finally find her rainbow's end. (Sunday 22 May 2016; 13:20)

Re: Things I learned from listening to Ariana's latest (62,510) (62,515) by Ty from USA I've seriously tried to listen to her but she mumbles words, nasal vocals. The only thing she's done amazing is the halftime show for basketball and the Whitney tribute. (Sunday 22 May 2016; 13:20)

Re: Bryan is not a love interest, he's gay (62,499) (62,514) by Andrew from UK Oh, I see. You've met him. Which conveniently can't be disproved. And in this in-depth meeting he told you his sexuality. Rightio. But that's not what you said, is it? You said: "All those dancers are bi or gay." All those dancers. All of them. It's probably fair to say you don't know this, it was a sweeping fabricated statement made without any foundation other than the fact that they are male dancers and is now being propped up with more bullsh*t when questioned. Seriously, mate, your high horse is getting away. Better take your heels off an' get a-runnin'. (Sunday 22 May 2016; 12:22)

Re: Bryan Tanaka (62,507) (62,513) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ya that is true. I don't know where Ty got the idea that he is gay. (Sunday 22 May 2016; 11:23)

May (62,512) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Congratulations on the new baby May. Lovely news. Also it's great to see you posting again. (Sunday 22 May 2016; 10:07)

Correction (62,511) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Sorry, I meant "each song stands on its own". (Sunday 22 May 2016; 9:46)

Things I learned from listening to Ariana's latest (62,510) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines 1. Ariana (almost) got it right this time. While there are no obvious hits such as Problem or Break Free, the songs from her new record are consistently stronger than her last set. Terrible future collaboration aside (Everyday could've easily been replaced with the awesome Bad Decisions), each song has a stands its own. She wisely demoted Focus to bonus track status. Moonlight is breathtakingly lovely, Into You is towering synthpop done right, Side To Side is infectiously bouncy, and Greedy is irresistibly funky. 2. She is fully aware of the Mariah comparisons - she just doesn't care anymore. Dangerous Woman is just as varied as My Everything, but with the latter, her attempts at trying everything to distance herself from Mariah were so desperately obvious that it ended up sounding disjointed. With DW, she's doing music she actually likes and believes in, letting more of her personality shine through. The tracks function as a unit, tied together by this dark, slinky, undertone, whereas ME was an uneven hodgepodge. DW may still lack identity, but it's a solid, enjoyable outing. 3. She's one of the better artists of her generation. While still having a long way to go in terms of enunciation, there's no denying that voice. This time, she has better material to showcase it. And finally, some growth and risk-taking. Name any current mainstream artist out there who, these days, is still willing to open and close the standard edition of their album with downtempo, jazzy tracks. Some tracks are intriguing as well, such as the unusual mashup of trap and acoustic instrumentation that weirdly works well on Sometimes, the brilliant, almost James-Bond-theme- sounding Leave Me Lonely with Macy freaking Gray, while the bonus track Jason's Song (Gave It Away) is a nod to broadway that pays off. 4. Unlike Mariah who can vary her vocal delivery to suit a song, Ariana's interpretation skills are limited. Her voice also just sounds too young. Her girlish timbre makes something as mature as Dangerous Woman sound like a campfire chant at a girl scout convention. 5. At this point, 3 albums and 2 EPs in, it's clear that she isn't just some wannabe who consciously apes Mariah. Mariah's influence is simply inherent in her. No matter what this girl does, she won't be able to do away with that. The sooner everyone realizes this, the better. There's no sense in hating a girl who just happens to naturally sing and sound like Mariah at times, especially when she clearly is one of us. Too bad the media has other ideas.

Automatic kill joy (62,508) by Special K from USA When Mariah announced she was doing the Vegas gig many fans and critics alike said it would be "horrible", a "train wreck", and it was beneath her. Well that turned out to be not true. Now with Mariah's World we are basically hearing the same things. It's unfortunate that expectation for a new Mariah Carey project whether it be a tour, a new album, or a docuseries is anticipated to have a negative outcome. I'm actually looking forward to it because Mariah can be so funny and witty. I think it would be cool to see that side of her more. (Sunday 22 May 2016; 7:28)

Bryan Tanaka (62,507) by Haiji Toro from USA, SOUTH FLORIDA I thought he was with Jaimie Goodwin? I believe she was on Dancing With The Stars at some point. (Sunday 22 May 2016; 4:20)

Re: Is Mariah secretly dating Bryan Tanaka? (62,496) (62,506) by enwar00 from usa Congrats May. How exciting. (Sunday 22 May 2016; 3:59)

Re: Is Mariah secretly dating Bryan Tanaka? (62,496) (62,505) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Congratulations on the new edition to your family, May. Nice to see you back posting. I don't know, I'm looking forward to the docu-series. If it's anything like the "Through The Rain" special or the bonus stuff on "The Adventures Of Mimi" tour DVD it'll give a nice behind the scenes look plus some funny and silly sketches for good measure. Unless Mariah suddenly changes her personality, there will always be people who glance at things really quickly and only see "diva". If she is unhappy with that, I imagine she'd do something about it. (Sunday 22 May 2016; 3:15)

Re: The most overrated MC song and what's better (62,497) (62,501) by Andrew from UK Agreed. It's not, to me, even a "remake" (cover version) but an actual song that trumps the original. When people sing it in karaoke/drag etc it's understood or announced they're singing Mariah Carey. (Sunday 22 May 2016; 1:38)

Re: Bryan is not a love interest, he's gay (62,490) (62,499) by Ty from USA The man is gay. I've met him twice. Met Mariah multiple times. Andrew, you're [censored] a typical [censored]. Don't respond to me, you're a [censored] and a [censored]. (Sunday 22 May 2016; 0:11)

Re: Rare studio photo (62,491) (62,498) by Andrew from UK It was one of the voicemails she used to leave on her website years ago. It was when she left Sony. Now that's nostalgia. You know, when Mariah used to talk to her fans and appreciate them. (Sunday 22 May 2016; 0:04)

Re: The most overrated MC song and what's better (62,479) (62,497) by Bill from the UK I'll Be There is probably the best remake Mariah ever has done, and ever will do. I love how the energy of the Unplugged album just grew with each song and the whole evening just crescendos and peaks with I'll Be There. Thank God that magic moment was captured live and is preserved forever. Mariah's voice, the beautiful background singers, Trey's solo. Not often do remakes trump the original but this sure did. Her stripped down piano and vocal rendition on Top of the Pops was one of her greatest, most electric performances ever. (Saturday 21 May 2016; 23:50)

Re: Is Mariah secretly dating Bryan Tanaka? (62,468) (62,496) by May from Denmark After seeing a bunch of pics together as of late I thought the same, but then I went "nah, it's only imagination". I saw a fair amount of him and Trey also. Not going to think bad, Mariah has plenty of good close male friends. Perhaps he became more of a besties after being dancing for her somlong, I actually think he is the current choreographer reason why he is not travelling with the rest of the dancers but with the entourage in the private jet. Isn't a choreographer title above backup dancers? Not an expert on the field that's why the question. I don't recall any other dancer or choreographer being close friends with Mariah before but why not now, perhaps he was called as part of the docu-series and became closer to the group and Mariah. Packer has been seen a couple of times with Mariah as shown or mentioned by the DailyFail (ho ho ho), Mariah loves her privacy, family privacy that is and longed for it a lot with Nick, overall when it came to the relationship, I believe is exactly what she has with Packer and what he also gets from her, because he is the same way. I can't be negative about the docu-series, I'm actually looking for it, everywhere I read people seem excited and are waiting with anticipation, people who are not fans have said they would really like to know the "real Mariah" (guess they are thinking it will be a reality?), but then I was watching the trailer having lots of giggles with it and right when Mariah mentioned about thenfluorescent light, which I found hilarious, my husband goes and says "wow, what a b@*#%, can she be any more full of herself?", he knows nothing about Mariah's "persona" but her songs and that she sings great, so I thought "Uh oh, is this how people will think of her?" I think "Mariah diva" is fun but I am hoping to see some serious moments as well, portraying Mariah as a professional artist (there were snipets of her rehearsing and preparing) but also someone a bit more down to Earth, wishing it won't be all about the perfect right side and the lighting jokes that people who don't know her don't seem to take very well. I wanted to post for a very long time but having my newborn (second child) my hands can't be free for long, so I've posted some opinions all mashed up. (Saturday 21 May 2016; 23:44)

Re: Rare studio photo (62,491) (62,495) by MC1989 from Spain The picture is well known. But that audio was a surprise to me, thanks. (Saturday 21 May 2016; 23:07)

Re: Mariah forgive me (62,492) (62,494) by BIGGEST MC FAN from UNITED STATES Personally I hate that song and I think it's extremely repetitive. (Saturday 21 May 2016; 23:06)

Re: Rare studio photo (62,491) (62,493) by Billy from Greece I think it's a voice message she left in her website in early 2001 once the deal with Sony was over. (Saturday 21 May 2016; 23:06)

Mariah forgive me (62,492) by Ty from USA But I love Rihanna and Calvin Harris song. It goes had. (Saturday 21 May 2016; 22:57)
