Re: Sexist (60,349) (60,351) by Marissa from USA I'm definitely not team Stella, but it is sexist to basically say that since Stella (one female) loves attention that MC should just give up on the entire gender when considering a manager and hire a man as if every guy is hardwired to hate attention and the limelight. Stella's stunts have to do with her personality, not her having 2 X chromosomes. (Friday 11 March 2016; 0:47)

Dedicated (60,350) by Giovanni from USA Is still such a fresh nostalgic song. One of the best off "Me I am." Mariah random, but just saying. (Friday 11 March 2016; 0:28)

Sexist (60,349) by Giovanni from USA Oh please, it has nothing to do with being sexist. I'm not going to apologize for stating my opinion. Stella whack sometimes. (Friday 11 March 2016; 0:25)

Re: Mariah's Squad (60,337) (60,348) by Will from England I'll admit, I was not fully aware of how much Stella is a part of Mariah's life. She may as well have her kids adopted by Mariah, considering how much time she spend photographing them with her (plus the odd other celebrity, that Will Ferrell one ). Whilst she has helped to boost Mariah's image with the public, I hope that this "Mariah's Squad" title is just like "MC3", and it will actually be changed last minute by Mariah. I also hope it won't be another thing like "Lollipop Bling", where Mariah says that she had no idea that's what they were calling that line, or the cover art for YDKWTD. We've heard rumours/whispers about a potential behind the scenes for her Vegas shows, so let's see what happens next. As long as Mariah has zero control over the angle/lighting thing, and just let's them film her naturally, then it should be ok. But hey, it's ok to dream lol. (Friday 11 March 2016; 0:20)

Reality not so reality (60,347) by May from Denmark I've just read that the "reality" is not going to be a typical one like others where you see the celebrity sat down at a cafe talking random stuff of the day with a family member and such. It said it's going to be more like a documentary, where Mariah will be filmed having her "squad" following her and making sure she is presentable for the events she goes to, it's like a backstage type of thing, we will get to see how Mariah prepares herself for the stage and gatherings. It's been said that Mariah had camera crewmen at Elton John's bash and that she was the only person with entourage, so they are very likely already filming it. Her European tour will be followed as well, which I think is great. (Thursday 10 March 2016; 23:58)

Re: Stella (60,338) (60,346) by Lee TS from USA Yeah, I have to agree that was very sexist. There can be fun fearless females too. Let's not forget there once was a Louise McNally who was allergic to the cameras and probably loves elevator lighting lol. Let's just see how this plays out. If all goes bad there's always Dancing With The Stars, Celebrity Apprentice, Love and Hip Hop, and the Real Housewives, "You may know me for my Christmas song, but I'm festive all year round." Bloop. (Thursday 10 March 2016; 23:50)

Nick (60,345) by Lee TS from USA Welp, I've always felt a reality show would be something Nick would do in his long list of things to exploit. So since Mariah is doing it first and I'm guessing Demkids would be featured, I guess they'll be alongside North growing up in front of cameras. Forget PhD's and college education, who needs that when you can be a reality TV star and make bank like the Jenner sisters. With Stella at the helm of it all, this is the end of Mariah Carey. Find me another diva to be obsessed over. She better not drink and slur her words like Anna Nicole. Ugh. And don't pause and stand in the hallway or dare to wear an open back, regular folks wouldn't get that. Whatever. (Thursday 10 March 2016; 23:20)

Re: Stella (60,338) (60,344) by MC1989 from Spain What a sexist comment you made. Sorry but it's disgusting. By the way Mariah is old enough to say no, or to make her decisions. (Thursday 10 March 2016; 23:16)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey's team isn't happy about her reality show (60,339) (60,343) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter You are still wondering? Didn't she confirm it many times? "Love me down till I hit the top of my soprano"? Then don't forget Nick talking about how he makes Mariah hit the high notes. So we know dahlin', we know. Side note: I couldn't remember the complete lyrics of "Loverboy" so I went to check if she talks about "hitting high notes" and oh, that song is dirty. Like I can't even. Mary Poppins let lose on that song and got down and dirty. Either every single line is pretty graphic or I am misreading things. (Thursday 10 March 2016; 22:23)

Re: Mariah's Squad (60,337) (60,342) by Marissa from USA Child we might as well face it. Those weren't pretend confessionals. Get mentally prepared for the traveling circus to be on your TV screen. I'm traumatized enough by that Instagram video when the oldest girl was screaming like a wild banshee is the background while Mariah was trying to talk. I am not here for this. (Thursday 10 March 2016; 22:23)

Re: Stella (60,338) (60,341) by Marissa from USA Stella being a female manager is not the issue at all. Being obsessed with the limelight is an issue that a male manager could have just as bad. The problem is that Stella loves the spotlight and is constantly showing off Mariah's lifestyle like it's her own. (Thursday 10 March 2016; 22:17)

The reality of Mariah (60,340) by Warrior Butterfly from USA I'm on the fence the Kardashian's are laughed at, but they have been on multiple seasons/ I hope that the "series" is short and to the point/ I recently re-watched Celine Dion's "Through the Eyes of the World" and loved how it was done. Her concert set, done around the world, running parallel with her visiting each stop and spending time with her family and down sides of her career such as voice problems during the tour. (Thursday 10 March 2016; 22:14)

Article: Mariah Carey's team isn't happy about her reality show (60,339) by Lee TS from USA Oh gosh it's already turned into a big 'ol mess. E huh? Well let's patiently wait for the sex tape to be leaked to drum up some publicity. Always wondered if she really sung high notes when he goes down low. I can't even know what to say. (Thursday 10 March 2016; 22:12)

Stella (60,338) by Giovanni from USA The more that comes into place the more I dislike Stella. I already stated how grateful I am about what she's done for Mariah. But this new series is just stupid. Why would fans give a damn about Mariah's squad/team whatever? Unless it's a behind the scenes thing. Which is cool I guess. But I just think Mariah needs a male manager. This is something that's bothered me. I've never heard of a female manager. Other than the manager from TLC. Regardless I'll be tuning in to watch if it actually takes place. Stella know your place and do what you're supposed to do. Which is having are girl booked and promoted for her next album. (Thursday 10 March 2016; 21:29)

Re: Mariah's Squad (60,335) (60,337) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter That's why the name scares me. She should just have her name in it. No one is interested in her squad. Plus it's not like her squad is full of A-List people talking about her during the show (I probably wouldn't even be interested in that) instead it has only the Bulochnikovs (like seriously are we to tune in to watch pre-teen kids now?) and I am not really interested in hearing them talk. This and this scares me. I hope for Mariah's sake these were just them pretending to record. Stella and her kids are practically living in Mariah's Calabasas home judging by the hundred photos of them in and around her house. So expect to see a lot of them. Honestly, I hope Mariah knows what she is doing. This is a major step especially after she has been so vocal about her dislike for such platforms so she should be careful. Tone down the chaise lounge, champagne splashes, and uber diva behavior on camera and instead show the real intelligent side of your personality, you talent, your insight. Use the platform to re-brand yourself, not to continue only with the "just for laughs" jokes that people are bound to misunderstand. (Thursday 10 March 2016; 21:15)

Mariah's Squad (60,335) by Marissa from USA The name is corny af. We don't give a damn about "Mariah's Squad". We just want Mariah. The title alone screams that this is gonna be the Stella and her kids' show, featuring Mariah. Hopefully for MC this show doesn't end up being what "Being Bobby Brown" was for Whitney. (Thursday 10 March 2016; 18:05)

Mariah's European tour band (60,334) by MC1989 from Spain Here's a video from Mariah's band rehearsing for the Sweet Sweet Fantasy Tour. Enjoy. (Thursday 10 March 2016; 17:43)

Re: Only one MC song (60,279) (60,333) by Tijl from Belgium Hello Andrew, I love your statement: "Soundtrack to a soul." I redeem my previous answer, it is just impossible to pick one particular favorite. How do you feel about this reality show thing? Best, Tijl. (Thursday 10 March 2016; 17:20)

Mariah's version of Watch Me Whip (Nae Nae) (60,331) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter While we are all having a meltdown over the reality show, take some time and check out this snippet of Mariah singing a snippet of "Watch me whip (watch me Nae Nae)". (Thursday 10 March 2016; 16:45)

Reality TV (60,330) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter B, Luke and Licia, ugh tell me about it. I knew there is an unscripted series in the making because months back it was confirmed that Stella and her partner Brian are producing it. I was hoping real hard that it was more of a documentary than a straight up "reality show". I don't understand why it is named "Mariah's Squad" if it is about Mariah's backstage rituals and Mariah? I really don't care to know about her "squad" which now consists of only the Bulochnikovs. She should have kept it "A butterfly in Vegas" or "A butterfly around the world" whatever. I agree with all of you when you say people won't really get Mariah's personality. It might in fact lead to people disliking her more because they would take her "just for laughs" diva-ness as the real thing. I don't want just the cameras following her like they do with Kardashians, of her just sitting and eating salads and all. But I guess it would include those since a camera man is always following her around nowadays, you can even see him in the "I still don't know her" video and it was mentioned she had the interviewers sign an agreement that this might be used for her show when she was doing interviews at 1OAK. I would rather have some real moments like seeing her pre-show rituals, her rehearsals, how she sometimes writes songs during tours. I would like her to be vocal about difficulties she faced in the past few years (like B said), instead of just sweeping it under the rug. This can help her connect with people if she is genuine and down to earth. Also like Licia said, I hope it doesn't delay her album further. I would like her to take this opportunity (since she is going to do the show either ways) to show behind the scenes moments of her recording the song, or trying out melodies to see which one sounds better. You know just how she records her songs. It will help people know that she is not just a dtizy diva with a big voice but an intelligent songwriter and producer. Since they are calling it a "docu-series" there will definitely be more than 1 part I am sure, but I hope they don't cheapen her and make it a season long. 3-4 parts is more than enough. Stella is behind Paris Hilton's "My new Bff", I'll just leave you all to ponder over that haha. (Thursday 10 March 2016; 16:36)

Re: Disaster (60,272) (60,328) by Terna from Nigeria Screams, JLo is now know as "I don't know her"? Rotfl. (Thursday 10 March 2016; 15:26)

Re: Mariah's Squad (60,318) (60,321) by Luke from United Kingdom That'll be good if it's a documentary style movie. How could they do a TV series? That would be boring since it would mostly be the same things going on. I do agree the name is a bit random, I liked the other one that was going around "A Butterfly In Vegas". But if she goes with Mariah's Squad she could name her next album Mariah Carey. Fairy Squad Mother. (Thursday 10 March 2016; 14:17)

Re: Mariah's Squad (60,318) (60,320) by Licia from USA Mimi L. your response is way better than mine was when I first read about the reality show. I actually cursed. Lol I knew when I read that Stella dealt with reality shows that Mariah would eventually be on one. I'm not happy about it. I don't want it to turn into something that will give nonfans another reason to dislike her. They look for anything bad. I also feel it's going to push the process of her recording new music further away. (Thursday 10 March 2016; 14:00)

Article: Mariah Carey "to shoot docu-series" (60,319) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Not sure how to feel about this. To me at least, "reality" shows have rarely been tolerable, let alone "real". You know how slapstick is widely considered the lowest form of comedy? "Reality" shows are like the slapstick of TV - no - of entertainment. If Mariah comes out with this, I fear that even her star power and quirky personality isn't gonna be enough to distinguish it from other similar shows and her version of it will always be judged not by its own merits, but how it stands against other shows of the same format, and God knows there aren't a lot of good ones out there. I love how fearless she is about dipping her toes in other ventures, and kudos for her for being a woman of the world, but I kinda just hope she channeled that same fearlessness in her music. After all, that's where and how it all began. Heck, that's how and why we're all here in the first place. (Thursday 10 March 2016; 13:11)

Mariah's Squad (60,318) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter It has been confirmed that Mariah will be doing a reality show name "Mariah's Squad" which will feature behind the scenes moments of her Vegas show and her new tour. I hope this is less "reality tv drama" and more "behind the scenes and true Mariah moments" where people get to see her funny down to earth style. It has already been mentioned that Mariah is hilarious on the show so I am excited for that and I do want to see her backstage rituals and all and how she prepares for shows. I just wish it wasn't named "Mariah's Squad". It sounds a little childish. And Lord brace yourself to see Stella's babies in every shot since they are always there and if Stella's instagram is anything to go by, they also recorded parts with her daughters. Or it might just be a shot of them pretending to be on camera, I don't know. But Stella please lose the name "Mariah's Squad". (Thursday 10 March 2016; 8:38)
