Toni Braxton / Mariah Carey mini series (59,594) by 123 from USA So I don't know if anyone watched or even knows but Toni Braxton came out with a TV movie about her life. It was a really good movie, nicely done, great cast, and they used Toni's vocals. It kept my attention the whole movie. I would like Mariah to do the same, except to make it a mini series like the OJ miniseries that just stated that will run until the spring. TV shows have gotten really big here in America and are more anticipated than movies now a days. Has anyone else watched Toni's movie, if so what did you think? Do you think Mariah should do a TV mini series of her life? Here is a link. (Friday 5 February 2016; 5:25)

Next single / Pharrell / Paloma Faith Can't Rely On You (59,593) by 123 from USA I need a new single co-produced by Pharrell for the Summer. Can you image Mariah singing a song like Paloma Faith's Can't Rely On You. I would freak out. (Friday 5 February 2016; 3:04)

Re: Hey Mara (59,576) (59,592) by 123 from USA Mara, I agree with you completely. JLo's team has made sure they re-branded her as the relatable girl-next-door who made it. Someone you could have been cool with in high school. I know there are people on the board that feel "she's Mariah Carey, she has nothing more to prove". I disagree. Everyone an artist comes out they have to prove they are still worthy of the public's money. She or her camp haven't done much to change up her diva image (unrelatable) especially with all these pictures of opulence. They should focus and push the singer songwriter producer and have her talk about her creative process, especially when she made certain songs. If she does talk about her kids, instead of mentioning how they've been more places than most people, she could talk about what they are learning in school, how they are performing in school. Are they learning any instruments yet? How about languages like Spanish. Once she gets that image out there, her team needs to make sure that what they release represents this. Sorry that your daughter didn't get her bear. (Friday 5 February 2016; 2:59)

Re: Hey Mara (59,583) (59,591) by Mara from United States Yes. But at the show everyone was standing, so the bear actually landed behind us on the cushion and by the split second we turned around it was taken. (Friday 5 February 2016; 2:50)

Re: Jermaine (59,584) (59,590) by enwar00 from usa Not surprised. I feel like he says many dumb things. (Friday 5 February 2016; 2:01)

Wendy (59,589) by Ardis Logic from Earth If she wants MC on her show, then she needs to stop being such a bitch. Maybe even apologize for all the catty things she has said in the past. Which of course she would never do such a thing. I hope Mariah never does her show. (Thursday 4 February 2016; 23:01)

Re: MC sings with the interviewer (59,581) (59,588) by Andrew from UK Gesture? She was forced into it and looked thoroughly unimpressed throughout. Me thinks you [censored]. (Thursday 4 February 2016; 23:01)

The white billionaire who can't dance (59,587) by Giovanni from USA Who can blame the man for jamming out to one of Mariah's biggest hits? I mean we're talking one of her best, ever. (Thursday 4 February 2016; 22:59)

Re: MC sings with the interviewer (59,568) (59,586) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada This was very sweet. You can tell what a fan this man is. Lol. (Thursday 4 February 2016; 22:57)

Re: Ian Drews cover of Never Forget You (59,561) (59,585) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada He has some very nice covers. Sweet kid. It's quite difficult to cover Mariah. I also enjoy when Kyla does. (Thursday 4 February 2016; 22:55)

Jermaine (59,584) by Giovanni from USA Is tripping big time. He really disappointed me in that interview. It's as if he doesn't believe in Mariah anymore, which is sad. I guess the sales of her latest album has him feeling it's over for Mariah. Well he's wrong. I love Jermaine but he pissed me off. He should be ashamed to even call himself a "friend". Is he still in his feelings over her firing him as her manger? I mean we already know the sales would have been more had Mariah released the album on its first original release date. Doesn't Jermaine know this? Mariah is definitely still capable of having another hit song and album. With the right music and promotion she'll be back on top. Shame on Jermaine. (Thursday 4 February 2016; 22:55)

Re: Hey Mara (59,576) (59,583) by Giovanni from USA I'm sorry but after reading your post I was upset. You mean to tell me Mariah threw that bear, it landed on "your" seat but some other stranger got it. From again, "your seat". Talk about being desperate. I know it would be silly fighting over a stuffed animal but I still see a problem with that. But like you said, there are nice people in the world. Such a that nice gentleman you mentioned. I completely understand everything you said about JLo. I more and less feel the same way. I like her music, but I get a fake vibe from her just like I do with Beyonce. Unlike Mariah who is real, sincere and super sweet. I don't think there's another artist who loves their fans the way Mariah does. Some people tend to forget that Selena's death gave JLo her career. Especially from the movie. She's also lucky for "AI" because that's what's pretty much what's kept her relevant. She promoted her latest album more than Mariah and still managed to sell only half of what Mariah sold. Deep down I know Mariah can get another hit song and album. (Thursday 4 February 2016; 22:35)

L.A. Reid on Wendy Williams Show (59,582) by Nick from Maryland In case anybody missed it L.A. Reid was on the Wendy Williams Show and talked about Mariah for a good 4-5 minutes. I think Wendy's one dream is to have Mariah on her show. (Thursday 4 February 2016; 21:48)

Re: MC sings with the interviewer (59,568) (59,581) by Bill from the UK I agree M that was a wonderful moment. She sounded as beautiful as when I first heard her sing those lines on the Butterfly album. Mariah's gesture has given that interviewer something I'm sure he will cherish for the rest of his days. (Thursday 4 February 2016; 21:34)

Re: "The white billionaire who can't dance" (59,575) (59,580) by Philipp from Switzerland I think it's really sweet. (Thursday 4 February 2016; 20:59)

Re: "The white billionaire who can't dance" (59,575) (59,579) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Aww that video of James dancing to "Heartbreaker" is just so adorable. It's the cutest thing I saw today. I don't care if he can't dance, the fact that he is right there supporting her and busting a move to his fiance's song is everything. (Thursday 4 February 2016; 20:52)

Re: MC sings with the interviewer (59,568) (59,578) by Lee TS from USA Awww that was so sweet of Mariah to grace him with some music. She sounded splendid and I'm glad she gave him a moment to remember. Not to be a downer but I can totally understand her hesitation though. She's doing a junket and has been talking probably for hours, so it's not fair to put her on the spot. Anyways, very cute. This interviewer can harmonize, MC reference haha. (Thursday 4 February 2016; 19:03)

Re: Hey Mara (59,554) (59,576) by Mara from United States Thank you Giovanni for reminding me. I think when I wrote this whole post it was late at night and I literally was beyond sick of seeing Lopez everywhere and had enough. I woke up to her in an interview with Ryan Seacrest and of course the gushing over her, then open magazines and see her all in the reviews of award show gowns, to online and the rage of her Vegas show to AI and her new show on TV all in one day. She even had to tell Brenda K how they went "back in the day". I don't think this will be the same message that I deleted by mistake but it just irritates me and I wanted to vent, that this woman is looked at like she is everything and she blatantly came out with her singing career off of someone else's. Her whole look. The whole Jennifer Lopez I remembered didn't have that long blond "Rainbow MC" straight hair. She was morphed into it. But whatever, that is done. What gets me though is that the MC we know as fans, the one that is humble, real, insecure and shy, the general public don't know. Yet that see JLo as this girl next door you can hang with and I have heard otherwise on her but it's never out there. You never see Miss Lopez photographed on every vacation in every country with her kids, it's Mariah who you see. She is an amazing mother to those babies. Perhaps if she just was more relaxed like she is at her shows when she knows she is surrounded by fans, she would come across the real way. What is it about Mariah that when she is interviewed sometimes she comes across as stiff? I would love if MC did a real "sit down" 20/20 Oprah type interview and opened up or let her guard down. I think it would help. Where as people like JLo come across so wonderful and relatable in interviews and I'm sorry I don't think that's the case in real life. I don't think I ever told this story after the Beaconc concert but I will if my post allows. OK, so I felt I probably should continue my message in a part two. My husband got me and my sister the VIP package to the December 17th Beacon show concert for my birthday. It was the same show that MC made up the Christmas in NY song. My 8 year old daughter was with us along with my husband. My daughter is a huge MC fan, and always mentions maybe Roc and Roe will be here mommy. Anyhow, when Mariah had the part where Santa comes out he usually throws out some presents. Now remember we were 4th row and we could see her and she could see us. When Santa started throwing things Mariah herself grabbed a teddy bear and aimed for my daughter and it literally landed on our seat cushion and this older woman with adult daughters grabbed the bear and held on for dear life. Well, Mariah tried again, even as much to say "how about this one it's pink and should go to a child" she tried again and threw as I was screaming again "over here" now maybe I am crazy, but I believe Mariah saw us and that she was a child and did try to get it to us. I even read the review from Billboard of that particular show and it mentions how she personally wanted a child to get the bear. Well like I said I could be totally off, but I know she saw us and that is what I believe in my heart. My husband went online looking for a bear just like it but was unsuccessful. The second persona that caught the second bear was an older woman too and held on to it for dear life. So the next time something was thrown, the very nice tall gentleman in front of us caught it and turned around and gave it to my daughter. He made her day and she got herself a nice pair of red MC socks with a butterfly on them. There are some nice people out there too, since he had no idea what he was giving away. On a side note while we were in the lobby of the Beacon before they let the general public inside Mr. Big Jim came into the theater and stopped at the will call window and then into the lobby, so I managed to meet and get a picture with him. It was such a memorable night, and he is such a lovely person and big kind personality. (Thursday 4 February 2016; 18:35)

"The white billionaire who can't dance" (59,575) by Ardis Logic from Earth TMZ posted this video of James doing his little dance to Mariah's song "Heartbreaker". I think it's sweet. At least he is out there supporting his woman. He looks very happy. (Thursday 4 February 2016; 18:10)

Re: MC sings with the interviewer (59,572) (59,574) by Billy from Greece It is hilarious but also very endearing to watch because the interviewer is obviously so very nervous to even pop the question, so in the ends he was like "yolo", it's now or never, I'll do it. And after he experiences the ultimate, he gushes about it like a groupie. Aww, you go dude. (Thursday 4 February 2016; 16:21)

MC top 5 YouTube videos (59,573) by Ardis Logic from Earth Oops it is millions. Oh well, still very impressive. (Thursday 4 February 2016; 15:42)

MC sings with the interviewer (59,572) by Martyn from England, UK That was absolutely hilarious. My favourite moment is when he starts singing and she mutters "that's in your key" under her breath hahah. (Thursday 4 February 2016; 15:40)

Re: MC sings with the interviewer (59,569) (59,571) by Luke from United Kingdom Also sorry about my "amazing" wide vocabulary. Haha. (Thursday 4 February 2016; 15:29)

Re: MC sings with the interviewer (59,568) (59,570) by Billy from Greece Wow. Her tone is really straight the heavens up above here. Angels advocate indeed. But, oh boy, was that awkward or what. When the dude started singing MC was like "What in the ham sandwich?" Sweet nonetheless. (Thursday 4 February 2016; 14:43)

Re: MC sings with the interviewer (59,568) (59,569) by Luke from United Kingdom That was amazing. The emotion she manages to show in her voice in those few seconds was amazing. She really should do an acapella session or something. (Thursday 4 February 2016; 14:33)
