MACQueen, coming to accentuate our lips (56,976) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Mariah just tweeted: "Introducing All I Want, my very own MAC cosmetics lipstick is coming December 2015." And this: "Plus, a full Mariah x MAC Beauty Icon collection coming later in 2016." (Tuesday 29 September 2015; 17:48)

Mariah, reveal yourself this instant (56,975) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Months back I was begging Mariah (through MCA ofcourse) to collaborate with MAC and release a cosmetics line. Shelly also joined in and we discussed packaging ideas and how cool it would be if it's gold. Well guess what? Mariah is collaborating with MAC for a lipstick called "All I want" coming this December and also a beauty line for 2016 Mariah X MAC beauty icon. I am excited. *high pitched noise* I love you Mariah. (Tuesday 29 September 2015; 17:36)

Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel (56,974) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Happy 6th anniversary to Memoirs. Such a cute, fun and joyful album. (Tuesday 29 September 2015; 17:14)

Re: Regina George in a lamb's clothing(56,966) (56,971) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Yeah, supposedly I'm the big bad wolf around here a.k.a. the all-purpose bully. Meanwhile, Madonna is having a historical whitewashing revival in every other post, two pages deep. The same woman who at one point said Mariah wasn't particularly bright (probably for turning down an appearance in her desperate coffee table "Sex" book ) and that she would commit suicide if she were Mariah Carey. (I'm paraphrasing, but whatever.) [censored] Well, that was a lie. I don't wonder at all. [censored] Sadly, it never fails. Here is the clip with the reference quote from Madonna: "I'd rather kill myself than be Mariah Carey." This is the person you decide to bring on this board as an example of, well, hell if I know. But I'm the one who's the bully, right? Right. (Tuesday 29 September 2015; 11:28)

Re: Mimi L / Mariah and Madonna (56,961) (56,970) by Bill from the UK Haha, you can use the forbidden term freely because you're not one of the fans who over uses it. I'm pretty sure Mariah has said a long, long time ago that the reason she wasn't allowed to be called "Mariah" was because of Madonna. I think I read that in Chris Nickson's biography but I can't be too sure now. I love you too Mimi L. (Tuesday 29 September 2015; 7:42)

Re: Regina George in a lamb's clothing (56,956) (56,966) by B from USA I want to live in LaLa Land where Mariah lords over us while riding a unicorn sprinkling us with glittering fairy dust. I love them both and I'm not picking sides. As far as I knew the bullies hadn't been posting. Unless I'm considered a bully? (Tuesday 29 September 2015; 3:10)

Seriously (56,964) by Lee TS from USA I think Mariah was just feeling nostalgic with the JD post, how are you going to turn a festive moment into something so nasty? And when she takes her kid to a fun Broadway show, one gets excited that she might get on the stage herself. Like seriously take it for what it is at face value, like her videos, it ain't that deep. About Madonna, the one other time I can remember Mariah saying something nice was during the 2006 Grammy's when she called Madonna a legend. And the only time I can remember Madonna saying anything nice was when she said she liked the Mimi record. Both legends, no if's or and's about it. (Tuesday 29 September 2015; 2:49)

So... (56,963) by Luke from United Kingdom I'll leave this here. (Tuesday 29 September 2015; 1:44)

Re: Regina George in a lamb's clothing (56,956) (56,962) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End This made me laugh out loud. I'm even more amused at the 25 likes. You're like the Donald Trump of MCA. Impressive. You've got my vote (in spirit). (Tuesday 29 September 2015; 1:11)

Re: Mimi L / Mariah and Madonna (56,958) (56,961) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha don't worry I understood your post either ways. I agree with you and I also think that they are both past what happened back in the day. I also got the feeling that Mariah was talking about Madonna when she was talking about the artist who uses just their first name. But like she said she didn't want people to take it the wrong way. This is exactly what the problem is, people seem to take everything she says as a diss. This is why during the interview when she said "I have no problem with Gaga" and the reporter said "okay" she was like "Why, is there a problem I don't know about? People make things up." Shows that even Mariah knows that her innocent remarks are sometimes twisted by others and dubbed a diss. (At this point I am scared to use the word "shade" because I feel like Bill will get angry. Sorry Bill, I love you.) A lot of these feuds between celebrities are caused by quotes being taken out of context and reporters twisting things to increase subscriptions.

Re: Regina George in a lamb's clothing (56,956) (56,960) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Edward, thank you so much for the kind words. I often wonder why you and some other previously regular members on this board don't post as much nowadays. I really enjoy reading your posts too. See I'm all for different opinions because that's what makes the board interesting but I absolutely hate it that some people on this board think it's fine to bully others and call them names. If they have good points and if they are so intelligent then make that point respectfully, don't call me an "idiot" and "obtuse". That is not acceptable to me. Also suddenly everything here has suddenly become a conspiracy thriller. We can't say anything without it being dubbed a "conspiracy to ruin Mariah's image/career". Anyways, I just gotta shake it off. However, I do hope to see more posts from you and others who were regular on this board. The bullies shouldn't drive away true fans. Thanks again and sending you some love. (Tuesday 29 September 2015; 0:50)

Re: MC and JD on Twitter (56,953) (56,959) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Bill, you say that like it's a bad thing. The true art of shade requires a lot of quick wit, class and intelligence. Being rude and crass is not being shady. That's just being rude and crass. Anybody can be a bitch. But it takes skill to be as ice cold as Mariah can be without detection by the casual observer. Also, being a genuinely sweet person as Mariah actually is doesn't mean she can't be petty or give as good as she gets. She's human, things people say and do to her get to her just like they get to anyone else and sometimes it comes out whether she likes it or not. She's a real person and I don't expect her to be perfect all the time, or anytime really. There are worse character flaws one could cultivate than occasional shadiness. At least she has a sense of humour about it. Some people could stand to be a little less uptight about things. It's so funny to me how people don't take Mariah seriously when it actually matters the most to her and then turn right around and give her hell when she's clearly joking. Come on.

Re: Mimi L / Mariah and Madonna (56,957) (56,958) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Sorry about the typos in that last post. I should have proofread that a lot more carefully. Yikes. Lol. What I was trying to say was that I've always felt the comment made by Madonna back in the day was not actually about a grudge against Mariah but more about something her dad had said. I also agree with Bill in terms of what Mariah has said about Madonna. MC still struggles to this day about how people take whatever she says. That's part of why she's so guarded IMO. In 1995 Madonna had just come off her album "Bedtime Stories" which wasn't widely embraced by the public unless you were a fan. It had 3 radio singles "Secret", "Human Nature" and "Take A Bow" as well as a more obscure remix single "Bedtime Stores". But the album itself wasn't considered popular at the time for sure lol.

Re: Mimi L / Mariah and Madonna (56,950) (56,957) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada I have followed Madonna for years (not the way I have Mariah) Let's put it this way, I'm not on a Madonna board everyday lol but I do love her music, and she has had some incredible tours. I consider her a performance artist. I adore Mariah. She's my favorite vocalist. I love music obsessively so I love a lot of artists. I do remember Madonna saying some things early on, but you have to remember, Madonna can be extremely rebellious. Her dad was a big Mariah fan according to an interview she did. And she made a point of rebelling against anything her father liked. Lol. Today she's very close with her dad, and has talked very openly about how mean she was to him at one point and how she had a lot of growing up to do. In that sense I do feel the comment she made was taken out of context, because it was not even really about Mariah, but her early days. Being percieved as tough or "bitchy" is most often a protection device IMHO it doesn't make sense to hold people accountable for things that happened years ago. I don't expect Mariah and Madonna to become besties by any stretch, I just don't about taking a jab at her father. People evolve and change. Madonna is a lot more open an accepting of others then she was in think their personalities really mesh, but it doesn't mean they hate each other. In the video you posted today, MC was talking about Madonna when she said she wanted to be known as Mariah but someone else was already using one name. She even went on to say she didn't want to name the artist because people would assume she was trying to be mean, but that wasn't her intention. People just tend to glom on to drama or feuds or whatever. (Monday 28 September 2015; 23:27)

Re: Regina George in a lamb's clothing (56,946) (56,956) by Edward from USA Mimi L., just wanted to say that even though I don't post much anymore, I do really enjoy your posts because to me you're a great fan. Thanks for putting "The Expert" from the LaLa Land in her place. She's become a bully, and the sad thing is that many people here agree with her ways. Several nice fans don't post here because of her ways, but anyway, that's what bullying is all about, isn't it? I can't stand a bully or people who go on the thesaurus, copy a few words and then put up a couple of sentences thinking they are coming off as intelligent. This is the second time you've put her in her place, you've done it gracefully. There's nothing like crushing a bully with simple words. I've always thought she's just a grumpy old woman sitting on a rocking chair with nothing better to do than praise herself and push her opinion as law. (Monday 28 September 2015; 23:25)

Article: Startup execs were more of a "diva" than Mariah at shoot (56,954) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End This whole article is gold. Especially the part where Alan Taylor says that Mariah is a "Game of Thrones" fan. That will never be not-funny. No weapon formed against you shall prosper. I hope that during Mariah's next talkshow couch session we get to hear some of the BTS stories from this Game of War shoot. I'm sure it's all epicly hilarious. (Monday 28 September 2015; 23:01)

Re: MC and JD on Twitter (56,952) (56,953) by Bill from the UK Baby, I often enjoy your posts but I do think you have talked yourself into believing Mariah is the queen of shade. She can't mention any celebrity now without it being dressed up as "shade" (I hate that term). From what I (and most of us) see, Mariah is a kind, funny, care free, genuine and pleasant soul. The only time she's ever really dissed someone was her Madonna comment back in the 90s ("when she used to be popular") but even that was probably unintentional. Even her J Lo "I don't know her" comment was a genuine comment saying that they had never met, and she of course didn't want to discuss her. (Monday 28 September 2015; 22:42)

Re: MC and JD on Twitter (56,936) (56,952) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End So, 5 hours after MC's tweet Jermaine basically copied her message: "It's like that y'all." And not an hour ago Mariah tweeted this: "Winter vibes in Aspen" with this picture. There's a Klingon proverb that goes: "Revenge is a dish best served cold." I love MiMi so much for this. Hahahaha.

Vegas program book help (56,951) by Billy from Greece Hi guys. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me with the following: around the beginning of MC's Vegas residency, one of the fansites or fan panges on Facebook shared scanned images of the Vegas program (which also included a small essay of sorts, saying - not word for word - that Mariah was one of the first female performers of her generation to seek full control over her career - something along these lines). Could someone direct me to the scanned images in case this rings a bell? I just can't seem to track them down right now. Thank you in advance. (Monday 28 September 2015; 21:40)

Re: Mimi L / Mariah and Madonna (56,944) (56,950) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah and Madonna are both legends in their own rights. They both did a lot that changed the music industry for the good. Now I'll be honest, I don't know much about Madonna's music but facts are facts, she is a legend and she has also inspired a lot of artists just like Mariah did. I honestly feel that the feud in 1995 would not have happened if at that moment the reporter didn't bring up that Madonna quote during a public conference. I think Mariah went into defense mode and defended herself (understandably). The Madonna quote still remains unconfirmed, I think that it was mentioned that it was taken out of context or something (I honestly cannot remember). But I think they have both come to the level of maturity where they both can appreciate each other and know there is space for both of them in this industry. Obviously I don't expect to see them tweeting out selfies together anytime soon, but I think those feud days are behind them. I understand what you mean when you say some lambs are attacked for liking other artists, and it shouldn't be that way. Liking Madonna doesn't make anyone any less of a lamb than the others. I am a fan of good music, and I will listen to whoever provides me with it, but yes Mariah and MJ will always be my favorites. (Monday 28 September 2015; 21:22)

Re: Mariah and JD (56,941) (56,949) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Thank you so much for that post Deedre, I actually could not have written it better than you did. That is exactly what I was trying to say. It annoys me when people read too much into things. Some things should just be taken at face value. I mean Jermaine also posted the same image and tagged Mariah so now are we set for a twitter feud? I think not, I think they are reaching out to each other again (this is just an opinion). As for what you said about friends, I could not agree more. Friends give it to you straight if you are a genuine friend. If they sugarcoat things it's fake. I always tell it like it is when my friends ask me for advice and that's why they know they can trust my opinion and advice. Anyways, thank you again for your post. (Monday 28 September 2015; 21:12)

Re: MC and JD (56,939) (56,948) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I would actually love a modern edgy album. It would be a fresh change and I am on board with all the people you mentioned. Make it happen Mariah. (Monday 28 September 2015; 21:06)

Re: That face no flaw (56,937) (56,947) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Aaww B thank you. I think you are so right, there has to be someone from her team, if not Mariah herself, on this board. I am not saying she is taking fashion advice from me haha, but I think MCA and the Mariah thread on UKMix are 2 of her most regularly updated message boards and someone from her team definitely keep an eye here to see what the fans want musically and so on. Although I will say I shrieked when one day I said "hoping for a leather jacket moment next" and the very next day (or same day depending on time difference), she wore a leather jacket.
