Mariah's World (60,896) by B from USA She should use this show to launch an amazing single. She needs to write an amazing song with Miguel or Bruno Mars and film an amazing classic Mariah video. She needs Nash back, asap. He got her $49 million dollar payout from Virgin. (Tuesday 29 March 2016; 3:04)

Re: Mariah's second coming (60,892) (60,895) by B from USA I agree. She looks and sounds amazing. With the right songs and videos like Touch My Body, We Belong Together, and My All she can score another comeback. (Tuesday 29 March 2016; 3:02)

Re: Stella (60,888) (60,894) by Marissa from USA I am certainly not denying the fact that Mariah's career has been on an upward trajectory since Stella has stepped in. Anyone can see that. But nonetheless she comes across as thirsty, ever-present and unprofessional. I don't think she's bad for Mariah's career in terms of underperforming on the job, but I think she is smothering Mariah and definitely trying to make her kid a star off of Mariah's back instead of just doing her job. As far as your speculation argument, as fans nearly everything we say is based on speculation. None of us know Stella or even Mariah personally. That doesn't mean that we aren't allowed to have an opinion until we miraculously get their numbers stored in our phones and start having weekly lunches together to catch up. They are both in the public eye, therefore they know that perception will be interpreted as reality. If Stella wasn't constantly inserting herself and her kids into nearly every pic of Mariah, cursing out journalists, insulting fans and having Mariah sign on for a reality show which she swore up and down that she wouldn't do since reality shows became a "thing", no one would be calling her out. As a reality TV producer, she knows that people will respond to the image that you project, therefore I don't feel bad or childish for having an opinion about it. (Tuesday 29 March 2016; 1:38)

I'm speechless (60,893) by Giovanni from USA Mariah is looking beyond gorgeous I have no words. I love those dresses she wore on Easter. Those pics are giving me "Beautiful" video tease. Especially in the last pic with the shirtless man, anyone agree? (Tuesday 29 March 2016; 1:23)

Mariah's second coming (60,892) by Giovanni from USA Is practically near. Her voice hasn't been this good in years. Her tone, vibrato, falsetto, vocals and belting is all sounding amazing. She's hit notes she didn't even hit in "The adventures of Mimi" tour. The intro from "Emotions" in London was spectacular. All she needs is good music, promotion and gorgeous ensembles, and she's set for another comeback. (Tuesday 29 March 2016; 1:12)

Article: Mariah Carey is happier than ever at 46 (60,891) by Billy from Greece Great article, very well-written. Kudos to the writer. (Tuesday 29 March 2016; 1:04)

Stella's gotta go (60,890) by Giovanni from USA Time someone gave Mariah a reality check. Stella is bad news. I find it disturbing that her and her daughters are around Mariah 24/7. (Tuesday 29 March 2016; 0:54)

Re: Stella takes her antics up a notch (60,885) (60,889) by Lee TS from USA Do you guys remember that one quote from Mariah on the Oprah After Show during the CB era, where she said she's been in the business longer than most of the people she worked with? Well, I like to think that Mariah is smarter and keen on what's going on. Especially, and I mean especially with the accounting side of things. I hope instill in her is that poor girl who's rug has been pulled off too many times, there is no room for negligence. It would be embarrassing for her to go broke at this stage of her career and I would blame Mariah for it. She needs to be like Oprah who signs every check, etc. Anyways, I hope Stella is really doing everything she can for Mariah in the name of good. It's pretty simple, if Mariah wins she wins. (Tuesday 29 March 2016; 0:48)

Stella (60,888) by Bill from the UK I've avoided this message board for a while because it is becoming a childish game of one upmanship with each other and constant Stella bashing. Everything that has been said about Stella is an assumption based off a few instagram posts. Is it such a big deal that her child appears in a couple of pictures? Who cares? Why does this make her "an evil witch"? How do we know that Mariah spends more time with Stella's children than her own? Maybe half of the time they are with their dad. From what I can see, since Mariah hired Stella she's seemingly got her mojo back. Her voice is in fine form, her concerts in Europe have been extremely well received, she is getting good press and lots of publicity. That is a manager's job and Stella is doing it well. This is exactly what everyone was complaining to JD about for not happening when he had his stint as her manager. Make up your minds. JD was quickly taken out by the "lambily", and a happy and successful partnership probably won't be the same now as a consequence of how he was relentlessly hounded for something which we now all know was totally out of his hands and not anything he could have commented on. I don't blame Stella for reacting how she has to a handful of fans who have insulted her and accused her of wrongdoings based on speculation. It's all a nonsense. Grow up. (Tuesday 29 March 2016; 0:29)

Awkward interview (60,887) by Billy from Greece Remember this? Poor Mariah. She still managed to "shake it off" with humor, despite the interviewer's rather questionable attitude. Love, though, how she's on the verge of "ringing" the second alarm. (Tuesday 29 March 2016; 0:25)

Re: Stella takes her antics up a notch (60,885) (60,886) by ADAM from USA I also don't like Stella's increased involvement in Mariah's personal affairs from the outside looking in. I also find it disturbing that Mariah is constantly photographed with Stella pre-teen daughter and never with anyone of her peers or anyone that isn't on payroll. Its like Mariah has no real friends. If it's not Stella and her daughters it's her makeup artist and hair team. It's really sad. Mariah needs to separate the two because it's eluding her judgement and inability to listen to the streets to hear what people are really saying about her and what's going on in the world. Something doesn't seem right this era. (Monday 28 March 2016; 23:59)

Stella takes her antics up a notch (60,885) by Marissa from USA So step 27 of how Stella is setting her daughter up for fame on MC's coattails: now Stella retweets this video onto Mariah's page featuring her daughter for over 80% of the video. Now usually Stella keeps Mariah's page focused strictly on MC/dem babies with all of the behind the scenes stuff with Mishka and Sasha on her own page. Now all of a sudden it's creeping onto Mariah's page. Stella, [censored] I see you. And no, I'm not going to stop speaking on this issue because I need Stella to know that she isn't slick and we're onto her. Also, if Mariah ever (for once) puts her ear to the streets, she can see what's really going on because the fact that everyone in her life is on the payroll can blind her to doing what's best for herself and not what people are manipulating her into for their own agenda. What is going on with Stella and MC is beyond a client relationship and beyond a friendship. RaeRae and Mariah were best friends forever and never this codependent. Stella came in with her and her kids dominating from the jump and even has her family members work for MC. Mariah is around Stella and her children more than she is around her own children and fiance. (I am not saying this as a dig to Mariah's parenting. I'm saying this to demonstrate how omnipresent Stella is which is not at all normal or healthy.) A key manipulative tool is to smother a person with your presence and influence so they can't think critically or have any outside perspective. They can only see things from your perspective because you never go away so they can think. I think Mariah is vulnerable due to always having dysfunctional family relationships so she leans on her team as this pseudo sense of unconditional love, but the flip side is that her team can easily exploit her need for companionship for their own gain. (Monday 28 March 2016; 22:45)

Lainey gossip (60,884) by Gino from Italy Guys, have you read the last few posts Lainey has made about Stella? I am worried since Lainey 90% of the time she calls it right and has reliable sources within the industry. The last post says Stella has taken over the accounting side of things. (Monday 28 March 2016; 20:22)

Re: Stella (60,866) (60,883) by Billy from England, UK I see and feel you. You are so right. When I see Stella I see an evil witch. I just hope Mariah opens her eyes. (Monday 28 March 2016; 19:43)

Chickens are ash and unhatched (60,882) by Nikki from usa I think people are getting too up in arms over trivial bits and pieces. When it comes to Mariah's World you're not going to know anything for real until it's aired. If the name being switched from Mariah's Squad to Mariah's World doesn't mean anything to you than let me help read in between the lines. This is about Mariah and she's the one running the show. She's not a dainty flower. She's an Aries from Long Island. I don't doubt the dictator will do whatever she can to show as much of her own blood in the series, but I also believe she has to work hard to make that an ongoing thing because Mariah is the star that calls the shots. I believe some fans are disillusioned. It's been 25 years and Mariah has never been taken seriously. MC enjoys being a girl and that's always been the case. She's been giving both fans and staff makeovers since '95. This is very standard stuff. I don't know how anyone can truly want a Mariah show, but then want her to "act" a certain way that's never been authentic to her. I'm sure MC will give all the moments good and bad for better or for worse. But, since she has a tendency to babble she might need a gist of a script and then adlib and flow from there. She knows her strengths and weaknesses. That's a good thing. Everything else is pretty standard where filmed shows are concerned. (Monday 28 March 2016; 19:26)

Stella the hella away from our queen (60,881) by Gino from Italy Can someone explain to me how one of the world's biggest stars ends up with a manager who looks and acts like she fell out of a Real Housewives episode? For serious, she is a representative of a massive global artist. Think of all the people lined up for that job and the impressions they need to make with those in the industry. Was she not vetted by the label? I just can't right now. (Monday 28 March 2016; 19:19)

Re: Stella (60,866) (60,880) by Mara from United States Chris, I think I read something that Ratner was the one that introduced her to Mariah. (Monday 28 March 2016; 18:49)

"And then Stella comes along" (60,879) by Malcolm from Asia I will give her a chance. I know for some of you her attitude and doings are enough and foul for Mariah as for me has the same sentiment about that. Looking or hearing Stella and that Mishka alone is unpleasant for me, it's like I want to vomit badly. From the very start I had this odd feelings about her and I vision her and her older daughter as the evil stepmother and sister of Cinderella lol. But I want to give her a chance as long this "docu-series" has not yet aired. That is her last shot to prove if she is doing something right for Mariah. If the show will be nicely done and will cater for Mariah's own good then I must give the props to her. But if it is a disaster, I'm done with her, time for us to take that bitch out of Mariah's "squad". Ms. Carey deserves class and A+ management, something Beyonce, Adele, and other reigning pop stars have. Wishing for MC to have a team like Bey, they are so amazing at their job and the fact that they're not appearing in media photos of their client wearing onesies or spinning like a DJ at their client's birthday bash is something admirable. (Monday 28 March 2016; 17:14)

Bye bye Brussels (60,878) by Tijl from Belgium No need to blame MC on cancelling the show in Brussels but as a Belgian lamb for almost twenty years I feel let down by the management and yes, my queen has failed on me as well. No discussion about to cancel or not. The situation in Belgium is serious albeit not as outrageous as covered on foreign news channels. It is not the Gaza. However I did expect something personal from Mariah. A video message on her FB-Instagram, a public statement. This does not feel like the woman that cares for her lambs at all. (Monday 28 March 2016; 16:18)

Re: Concert in Stockholm (60,870) (60,877) by Todd from Melbourne, Australia I can relate dude, went through similar stuff as a teenager - and the first time I saw her live (Australia a couple of years ago), I had the most surreal and strange, but mainly embarrassing, little breakdown when she came out on stage. My friends thought it was hilarious as I'm usually not one for emotional garbage. (Monday 28 March 2016; 14:30)

Nightmares (60,876) by Todd from Melbourne, Australia Ok. So I am kinda too scared to go to sleep, for fear of waking up to a giant rabbit standing over me a la Mariah's instagram photo. Holy crap. That is right up there with Stephen King's IT. (Monday 28 March 2016; 14:28)

Re: Mariah's World (60,869) (60,875) by Lee TS from USA It's shaping a lot to look like a trashy reality show. It's going to be heavily edited, I can see Mariah going, "No dahling I can't with this angle and the abusive lighting, press delete, edit, edit it out." I hope we get to see the real Mariah. I don't know, whatever makes her happy I guess. (Monday 28 March 2016; 14:25)

Re: Concert in Stockholm (60,870) (60,874) by Andrew from UK "A depression in your teens"? "In your teens"? Back up a wee bit. That photo of you: that's a recent photograph? And you're not a teenager now? Mate, next time you start to feel down, take a look in the mirror and remind yourself of what an extraordinarily stunning-looking man you are. I imagine most of the visitors to this board have thought that at some point. Have fun with Mariah in Sverige. (Monday 28 March 2016; 14:04)

Re: MC anniversary (60,868) (60,873) by TJ from Norway I think this whole reality concept is the wrong way to take a career like Mariah's. In this clip, it looks more like making a video, than showing the world what Mariah's life is all about. The same about this wanting to film at the Harrods. She's 46 years old and it's about time to act her age. People doesn't take her seriously, and that's not the way to go. She always mention that she's a producer, songwriter and so on because non fans doesn't know the hard work she puts in her music, but at the same time she destroys the image with "acting all 12" or making this reality-show. (Monday 28 March 2016; 13:28)

So proud of Mariah (60,872) by MC1989 from Spain At Last. Her voice sounds amazing. I've just watched some clips from her concert in Luxemburg. She's doing so great since this tour started and I'm so proud of her. Well done Mariah, congratulations and happy birthday. [Webmaster: You're a little late, her birthday was yesterday.] (Monday 28 March 2016; 13:28)
