More Morgan drama (60,404) by Ardis Logic from Earth This is really sad. It's hard to know what is really true here. We have no idea what Mariah's side of the story is. All I know is that if I was as rich as Mariah, and my sister was dying, I would do everything I could to help her, and my sister and I are not even close at all. I'm sure Wendy Williams will be all over this one come Monday morning. (Sunday 13 March 2016; 16:11)

Stevie J (60,403) by B from USA Why are people saying he produced and wrote Honey and Breakdown. The lyrics were written by Mariah except the interpolated lyrics she sampled. Yes, he was involved but not to the degree he and media outlets claim. I also don't believe he slept with our girl. She was with Derek Jeter at that time. (Sunday 13 March 2016; 15:56)

Re: New and fresh era (60,401) (60,402) by Musti from UK Absolutely. These steps are necessary if she wants to gain new fans and also put to rest all doubts that she can no longer be relevant. Look I don't mind if she wants to become the modern-day Barbra Streisand and record the same thing with different lyrics over and over again. I'd still buy it in multiple copies and still print L4L on my forehead. No one judges Babra for doing exactly that and, to be frank, Mariah has already reached that legendary status where she can do the same. Perhaps her only disadvantage at this stage is having to fix her tarnished reputation so she can ensure future sales, like Barbra. It's ridiculous how Barbra can still score #1 albums by simply recycling herself. But I'd also love it if Mariah were to top the charts again, multiple times. The public has come to know Mariah for breaking records and anything less than achieving the absolute best result seems to work to her disadvantage. It's unfair. I really hope we have a well-planned comeback in the works. It's time. (Sunday 13 March 2016; 14:37)

New and fresh era (60,401) by Malcolm from Asia I agree that she needs new producers. If we will think, Mariah doesn't have an album this century that cross over her in modern music landscape. (I love MIAM but if she is in good state that time and promotes, it could have been successful.) Many people still thinks that Mariah was from 2000's era and doesn't belong to the present pop music circle. Besides of hiring new producers that will cater her in the present generation, Mariah must promotes like crazy like what B said when her album comes. Have a Carpool Karaoke 2.0 (more in the singing lessen the divaness and stuff), play a game in Jimmy Fallon and Ellen, perform a mini concert in Jimmy Kimmel (preferable at night like what she did in E=MC2 era), be a musical guest and host in SNL and have skits like what she did on The Friday Night Project. (She's so fabulous and hilarious there, this is the episode, part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5. Enjoy. ) And this "docu-series" will be great if it will be excellently made and the public can finally relate to her, so let's just wait and see. (Sunday 13 March 2016; 13:10)

Re: Article: Mariah's manager lashes out at media (60,384) (60,400) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Please tell me that picture is just a random shot and not a promo shot for "Mariah's Squad". The kids are just everywhere. I even saw a video of Mariah leaving the party honoring Brett Ratner and lo and behold Mishka is right there next to Mariah. (Sunday 13 March 2016; 11:44)

Mariah's nephew (60,399) by Jenny from South Africa Shawn tweeted about the Mariah/J. Lo feud. It was hilarious. "It's not a rivalry if one artist has several albums that, individually, have sold more than the other artist's entire collection. Tea." He also tweeted the new MC quote "I still don't know her". I want to clarify that I do enjoy J. Lo's earlier music but I think it's sweet the way Shawn always has Mariah's back. Especially since I've just read an article where her brother is allegedly calling her a witch. (Sunday 13 March 2016; 10:56)

Morgan (60,398) by Lee TS from USA Is coming out slamming Mariah. He called her a witch for not helping Alison with her medical needs, supposedly a spinal and brain surgery. Oh dear, the Carey family is a mess. Take note Stella, we need this on the reality show. This is sad. (Sunday 13 March 2016; 8:55)

Reality show (60,397) by Gilles from Malta This is only my own opinion so please people who are excited about this new project do not jump on me cause of this. Certainly due to my age reality shows do not excite me at all. Regarding Mariah I am not really into her personal life style or weight or wardrobe or even behind the scene. Reality shows for me are, for sure not real at all, but "a made up story". I love Mariah Carey the artist more than her celebrity side. I would love to see her in the studio making an album from A to Z from lyrics until music until finished product. Talking track by track. Not behind the scenes of Vegas but the artist in studio with a live and acapella and acoustic session. Thanks to all the gossip and all the cheap magazines we know how Mariah can be funny, people who think that MC is not funny they have never watched the Touch My Body video clip or Boy I Need You or others. Anyway, we ll see for the moment if it is only speculation. Good day everybody. (Sunday 13 March 2016; 8:04)

Dreams for next album (60,396) by Giovanni from USA I'm with B, Mariah should definitely work with Frank Ocean and Happy Perez. There's so many talented producers she can work with. Give Big Jim Wright a break. She needs something fresh again. I honestly feel for now all these suggestions are kind of pointless because I think Mariah already has a new album ready. Once she's finished her European tour, bam a new single. I hope she shoots a decent video and promotes like crazy. (Sunday 13 March 2016; 6:22)

Eminem (60,395) by Giovanni from USA Who is that? "I don't know her." (Sunday 13 March 2016; 6:11)

Docu-series (60,394) by darrian liu from taiwan I think it's a great idea as long as team MC knows what the public thinks of Mariah. The public thought Mariah is the classic mean girl. Shady, bitter and self-absorbed. I want the public to see her as a genuine, kind person with a serious side to her. I want her to kinda be perceived as the older Jennifer Lawrence (minus the cussing) because everyone wants J.Law as their best friend. Show everyone that Mariah is a good, funny person and tone down the shade (although I love it when Mariah shades somebody). I want this show to get Mariah back into the general public's good graces, and rebrand her as the classy singer-songwriter-producer that everyone wants to be with (like Adele).

Article: Mariah's manager lashes out at media (60,393) by Betty from Canada As a lamb, I would love to see more of Mariah in any format, wish her all the best in whatever she decides to take on, and will be there to support her 100%. What can I say, I'm a lamb for life. (Sunday 13 March 2016; 4:20)

Re: 2002 Oscars (60,380) (60,392) by Tevin from USA Remember Mad TV spoff of Glitter called Gutter? Look it up it's on YouTube. So glad TEOM was born. (Sunday 13 March 2016; 3:33)

Re: Dreams for next album (60,385) (60,391) by B from USA Welcome to the dysfunctional family. I disagree. I think half of the album should be Frank Ocean and Miguel midtempos, Bruno Mars ballads, and The Weeknd R&B-pop. She needs to write with these artists and their collaborators and producers. Make a brilliant album, forget sexism and ageism because you look half your age and your legendary voice is in form. Frank Ocean like intospective ballads with personal lyrics and Miguel like midtempos that are simple, catchy, and sexy like Coffee and Touch My Body. If she does this she'll score another hit single and album. (Sunday 13 March 2016; 3:32)

Re: How do I feel about this upcoming Mariah reality (60,382) (60,389) by B from USA After reading the Vanity Fair article about Mariah's show I know thinks it a great idea. She looks and sounds amazing. She's classy and smart and she's marrying a billionaire so I don't think this series will be ratchet like Stella's other shows. (Sunday 13 March 2016; 3:07)

Truth (60,388) by Butterfly from But she's singing about Eminem? What do you mean Truth? (Sunday 13 March 2016; 1:29)

Re: Dreams for next album (60,385) (60,387) by Ardis Logic from Earth I think it would be awesome if Mariah covered a Beatles song. Like the song "Golden Slumbers". If you have never heard that song, have a listen and imagine Mariah singing this song, it's beautiful. (Sunday 13 March 2016; 1:28)

Reality/doc-u-series (60,386) by Mara from United States I wasn't sure how to feel at first but I think it may be a good way to let the public in on MC and see she has so much more to offer than what their perception is of her. The serious side of her, the mother, the professional singer and especially songwriter side. The woman who can go in a studio with one song, get creative and create a complete new amazingly hot track. How that process comes to her. Not to mention how many life changes she is going through right now. Being engaged to a billionaire, combining families, co parenting, her children turning 5, her vocal maintenance, wedding preparations. There are so many interesting things in her life. I love that it is on E too, as E has a larger audience. I hope she takes advantage of this opportunity and gets the public interested again and releases new music. I say good job Stella, unless otherwise. I think she meant to privately respond to that gossip site and they publicly released her response. I hope she learns from it but I think she may be starstruck at the same time but does want to bring MC back where she should be. (Sunday 13 March 2016; 0:26)

Dreams for next album (60,385) by Richard Pitts from United States Hello all, I am new here, although I go back to the "Mariah 4". Fan since the beginning. Anyway, I would like to change the conversation somewhat. I wish to discuss the direction of the next album. I hope that MC stays current with the album but she should have half the album be covers. I want classic album renditions of Lullaby Of Birdland and Don't Explain. My wish is a remake of "Coat of Many Colors" and the theme song from Family Ties, "Without Us". She can and needs to continue to do current music. Creating new songs is what she is the best at and keeps her gathering new fans. Just something to ponder. That's it. (Saturday 12 March 2016; 23:24)

Article: Mariah's manager lashes out at media (60,384) by Lee TS from USA The headline didn't even need to sensationalize anything. Fun-freaking-tastic. If she won't start none, it won't be none. Let's hope it ends here and doesn't make its way to other media outlets. (Saturday 12 March 2016; 22:50)

Article: Mariah Carey's team isn't happy about her reality show (60,383) by THE TRUTH from USA Yes and most people don't know but she's singing about Eminem. (Saturday 12 March 2016; 21:32)

How do I feel about this upcoming Mariah reality (60,382) by B from USA I hope this project is a docu-series not a reality show. I hope this series is a behind the scenes look at her Vegas residency and her European tour. I want to see what goes on behind the scenes. Mariah warming her voice up, doing scales, before a performance and things of similar nature. No Stella or her kids or Dem Babies. Mariah doesn't need to be funny constantly she needs to be likeable articulate charming and down to earth. The public doesn't understand her or her sense of humor so no jokes. Make it a prestige docuseries. Discusss the lack of support from IDJ during the MIAMTEC era and why you decided to go home to Sony and do a Vegas residency. (Saturday 12 March 2016; 19:33)

Stella (60,381) by Luke from United Kingdom Let's not jump to conclusions. If Mariah wants her out she'll get rid of her just like all the other people she stopped using in the past. Stella may just be really enthusiastic about her work and working with Mariah. I'd probably be going mental if I got the chance to work with her so why can't she be a little excited? That doesn't mean she's going to use her. I honestly don't think her or her kids are going to pose a threat in Mariah's shadow, if anything I would think Mariah has learnt enough in that business to be smart enough to use Stella for her resources. (Saturday 12 March 2016; 15:09)

2002 Oscars (60,380) by Billy from Greece Wow, Mariah was really a punching bag during those years, and nobody showed mercy or support. I was just watching Whoopi Goldberg's opening monologue at the 2002 Oscars and the jab at Mariah ("America suffered through a great national tragedy but we have recovered, Mariah Carey has already made another movie") was biting. Not appreciated by the way. Wow, "Glitter" almost did kill her career for good, sometimes I tend to forget. This just shows what a stamina this woman has to keep rebouncing. (Saturday 12 March 2016; 15:01)

Reality show (60,379) by Lee TS from USA Well, even though I was hating hard on it I am looking forward to seeing it. I can't get enough of Mariah. I just hope it's done well and not too ratchet. Since we're calling it a docu-series I guess the only comparison we have would be Caitlyn Jenner's since it's on the same network. I remember Wendy was so mean to Caitlyn when she was transitioning but she actually called it, Caitlyn wanted to be in the spotlight and the fame. Oh well. I wonder if Mariah's divorce would be played out on the show to gain some sympathy votes. Then she finds love with James to show her journey. Maybe she'll find a spiritual guide to fix her relationships with the siblings, showing Alison's struggles in rehab. She can also address some diva feuds and finally meet JLo for a one on one setup by LA. Maybe she'll meet with a doctor for possible vocal surgery, goes through with it and regains her range/power/agility back but loses her whistle register. I know these ideas are like exploiting and terrible but these are what drives ratings and a reality show. Drama. No one wants to see Mariah wake up in the morning, have breakfast, walks her dog and call it a day. And yes to all the behind the scenes moments pon de studio, backstage, etc. (Saturday 12 March 2016; 13:07)
