(58,006) by Tijl from Belgium I wish everybody could just wish she is in a good place after all the turmoil in her life. (Thursday 26 November 2015; 22:51)

Re: Mariah on Steve Harvey (57,990) (58,005) by Manny from U.S. My friend corrected me. I meant Hallmark not Lifetime. I don't watch TV, I see her stuff online. (Thursday 26 November 2015; 21:47)

Re: Current Mariah (57,999) (58,004) by Cgee54 from Usa I think it is sad how in every performance Mariah gets criticized from all directions. That's why in my opinion she's afraid to sing sometimes. Every performance she does she always has to outdo her younger self and sadly that will never be. I honestly think she has fallen out of love with music and her voice. Is there a task for her now and not something she loves to do? She even stated in one interview that she can't even do karokee without doing a technical flawless performance.

Re: Morgan and Allison (58,000) (58,003) by Bill from the UK This is why I dislike reading the negative comments that fly around on here about Mariah. I grew up listening to her, her music was the musical back drop to my life, and her singing and her songs have brought me countless hours of joy, as I'm sure is the case for most of us. When you listen to a song like Petals, Looking In or Camouflage, they are heartbreaking but probably barely scratch the surface of what she has been through. My mind often wonders how lonely she must feel at times. I think to myself, here is someone who got down on her knees at night and prayed to the Lord for this to happen to her, but it came at a price it would seem. Yet, despite that, she continues on. She carries on making great music, smiling through adversary. Yet her fans, who she does this all for, and who know all what she has been through, sit here and say she has mental problems.

Re: Current Mariah (57,999) (58,002) by Giovanni from USA Girl bye, you make absolutely no sense. Honestly just leave the poor woman alone. You and everyone including myself should be grateful Mariah is even coming out and doing interviews. (Thursday 26 November 2015; 21:11)

Mariah won't ever please everyone (58,001) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada There will always be something "wrong" with an album, a single, a live performance or an interview if that's what you focus on. We all have our preferences. For example, the last Infinity remix wasn't my bag, no big deal, nothing to go over the deep end about, still adore Mariah and will always love and enjoy her. We either accept Mariah as is, or we don't. I've enjoyed what I've seen of the interview, she answers what is being asked honestly as far as I'm concerned. It's interesting how the same thing can be seen so differently through different lenses. Happy Thanksgiving MCA and Mariah for sharing your gifts with us. (Thursday 26 November 2015; 19:19)

Morgan and Allison (58,000) by Randy from USA What saddens me is how people in her family should've been in her corner and how they betrayed her. Are paid spots on Entertainment Tonight and in tabloids worth selling out your sister, who by the way has enough money to give you the world? After Tommy and now Nick's betrayal who humanly does she have to turn to? I criticize MC over her live performances but recently I've began to feel sorry for her. Who does she have?

Current Mariah (57,999) by CMC from NY,NY Watched both terviews Kelly and Michael and Steve Harvey. Watched back to back and felt uncomfortable for Mariah and sad. I get that she's tired, you could see it, but it makes me said that she seems to be hardened and shut down from the way the media has been to her or possibly everything with her personal life, fall outs with family etc. IDK. To me, the problem is all the interviews are 90% based on and talking about how extravagant her lifestyle and her legendary status is. It's hard to carry on interviews without stating how different her life is from the average person, even so different from other celebrities. It makes her extremely unrelatable to. It's unfortunate that she's becoming kind of a characature of herself. If she's at least going to do the same Schtick why doesn't she at least sing. Why wouldn't she sing a Christmas song on a hour long Mariah Carey Christmas episode of Steve Harvey. Curtain should of opened and she was singing. The beauty school drop out thing is litterally the only thing she gives them on Kelly and Michael. I'm pretty sure she's discussed that on on Kelly and Michael/Regis and Kelly alone at least 5 times. I'll always support and follow her but I'm sad that she seems robotic and so untrusting. Side note- my prediction of "Can't say no" being "Can't let go" remake was correct.

MC's performance at Thanksgiving Parade (57,998) by Ardis Logic from Earth Here's a little snippet. She looks gorgeous. (Thursday 26 November 2015; 18:40)

No offence (57,997) by Ardis Logic from Earth Poor guy, he was just giving his opinion, and now everyone is freaking out. He could be right, we don't know. It is what it is, chill out everyone. It's not that deep. (Thursday 26 November 2015; 17:22)

More videos from Steve Harvey interview (57,996) by Ardis Logic from Earth Still haven't been able to find full interview but, if you go to Steve Harvey's YouTube channel you can watch about 7 short videos of MC. Happy Holy-Days to all. (Thursday 26 November 2015; 17:21)

Re: I mean no offence, but... (57,982) (57,995) by Jono from USA I think it's hard to judge Mariah based off of her public appearances. Keep in mind she will always be more comfortable with us fans because she knows we understand and love her unconditionally, and see a side of her that the general public overlooks. It's how we all act. We are totally ourselves with people closest to us, and different with strangers. And I'm sure she's still very aware that she's been a bit of a punching bag ever since Rockefeller and 2014 in general. Keep in mind this is someone who has never been open about her personal life, and there it was being splashed over every tabloid for the world to see. Mariah is an incredibly hard worker, so I'm sure her natural reaction was to feel like a failure that her marriage didn't work out. And again she was portrayed as the difficult one in the media, and the reason why the marriage fell apart. So she was upset and resorted to her defensive diva persona, and then was called difficult and rambling. So now that she's composed and just simply happy, and possibly tired, it suddenly means she's on drugs? It's a bit far fetched, don't you think? Also are we really going to compare her to 1999 when she was 29? I'm certain that at 45 with two kids you act a bit different than 29 and completely independent, even for someone who claims to be eternally 12. We can't expect her to be quirky and fun every interview. I actually enjoy the fact that ever since she became a mother, not once has she shown the us or the world that she's a "bad mother". Because you know the press is just waiting to slander her in that negative light. But she's been phenomenal. (Thursday 26 November 2015; 17:03)

Re: I mean no offence, but... (57,981) (57,994) by QueenLambassador from Portugal You mean no offence but you are offending. Mariah is just being Mariah in these interviews and you are being judgemental as [censored]. If Mariah ever is or was on those drugs I'm sure it's because of fans like you who don't give a damn about what she does and only look for reasons to find flaws. We don't need to be yes m'am all the time but we don't need to be constantly complaining about everything she does because we think it's wrong. Honestly. You're saying you don't mean to offend only shows how you know you are offending. It's bleak, completly out of purpose. You know what? I thank God Mariah has so much strenght within her to deal with this and still didn't give in to bad habits like so many legends. You are entitled to your opinion but you're wrong and I'm sad some fans agree with you. How low the lambily came. And don't you dare to blame Mariah for it because you brought it on yourselves.

Re: Melt Away (57,951) (57,993) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End There is just one thing about your post, Melt Away was produced by Mariah alone. Babyface only helped co-write the music probably. But I think it's easy to pick out his vocals in the background during the bridge's "You and me, (Babyface: You and me) in a cloud of reverie" part. I wish Mariah will take full credit for her hard work more often in the future. She revealed on Steve Harvey how she's forfeited director credit for more videos than we probably know of, unnecessarily IMO. I think she's finally getting it, that it's OK to take pride in her singular excellence and making it known to all and not always be so modest. I love MC for her abundant generosity and humility in sharing the profits of her wealth with her collaborators but not at the expense of her not getting full acknowledgment for her work as a songwriter, producer and director. My 2¢ents. (Thursday 26 November 2015; 14:09)

My list of Thanksgiving (57,992) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End We don't really celebrate Thanksgiving in Sweden, at least nowhere near the way Americans do. But I like the concept of giving thanks and showing gratitude for the good things we have received this past year. So I thought it'd make a list as it's sometimes good to remind oneself of one's blessings and not just focus on the negative white noise that is constantly engulfing us in our real lives and online. In shuffle order: 10. The Why You Mad Infinity Remix with JB, T.I. and French Montana. 9. The Mac cosmetics collaboration starting with frosty champagne All I Want lipstick. 8. Can't Say No with Rick Ross possibly getting single-treatment 7.The update of #1's to Infinity commemorating her record 18 Billboard #1s. 6. MC's expansion of her Christmas empire with the AIWFCIY book, collectors 10" and red vinyl MC album. 5 The Game of War commercials. 4. A Christmas Melody tv-movie being directed by Mariah Carey as the first of hopefully many more. 3. Stellar Bulochnikov's managerial partnership with MC. 2. The Vegas residency. 1. The Sony homecoming. Honourable mention is obviously James Packer of WoolPac but also the rest of Team Mariah for keeping up with her busiest year in a while. M runs a tight ship these days and we like that. There is so much positive and creative buzz surrounding Mariah that I'm sure someone else's list might look rather different. Have at it Lambs. But above all, I am thankful that MiMi is happy in both her professional and personal life and is still alive and kicking despite her injuries, visible and invisible. She's one of my greatest inspirations to keep going when the going gets tough. (Thursday 26 November 2015; 11:44)

LeAnn Rimes: MC's classic Christmas album is goat (57,991) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Professional Aussie Stalker: What do you think is the best Christmas album of all time, I know you've got one? LeAnn Rimes: Uh, probably. I listen to Mariah Carey's, probably more than anybody's. PAS: Ah, nice. LeAnn: It's awesome. PAS: Did you take inspiration from that for your album? LeAnn: Not really, mine's completely different but I do love that record. It's classic. PAS: You should do a collaboration with her. LeAnn: *laughs* That would be fun. Another lamb exposed. I wonder if she has a solar-driven unicorn named Rainbow? Happy Thanksgiving lambs. (Thursday 26 November 2015; 10:47)

Mariah on Steve Harvey (57,990) by Manny from U.S. I think Mariah looked tired for the interview. I think she's a tough girl. She has had a full schedule. The movie, the book, Beacon shows, her brand, and being a mother. She has a televised show on Lifetime after her movie. The promoters are probably on Mariah team's behind so that they sell more concert tickets, for Beacon and Vegas. Lifetime is probably expecting the movie to be a hit. She gave the audience those presents. We need to keep in mind she needs to promote all those things. It must be stressful and tiring. I just have sympathy because of the fact she's a mother now. She said it herself. They come first. Happy thanksgiving guys. (Thursday 26 November 2015; 7:59)

Re: I mean no offence, but... (57,982) (57,989) by MimiLamb from Germany So in your opinion Mariah is suffering from a mental illness and she takes medication for that? You base that on her appearance and how she talks? Or is it based on some solid facts? Don't get me wrong but I think its funny how many think to know what Mariah is going through and what medication she's on. We all know she has had times that she wasn't well, doesn't mean we know or we should be stating things that aren't based on actual facts. Some even forget that other media outlets visit various MC sites and run with the info the "fans" give there, I will not be suprised if one of the next articles will be about Mariah being on medication just because some state it. (Thursday 26 November 2015; 7:40)

State of being (57,988) by Mirage_Nunez from America People want Mariah to be "crazy" so bad. I really detest how people are quick her label someone "mentally ill" or "mentally unstable", when they have no credentials to make such a claim. How about she's just a human being that has her shares of ups and downs just like the rest of us. We all get sad, angry, happy, annoyed, excited etc. it perfectly normal to have emotions. If you ask me she has been doing quite well lately, hardly seen drinking as much, being a blatantly loving mother, enjoying new love, being a productive business woman. Yep sounds stable to me. Let's drop all this labeling and boxing people up please. (Thursday 26 November 2015; 6:56)

Re: I mean no offence, but... (57,982) (57,987) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I don't think there is anything wrong with her mentally to be honest. I just think she talks less nowadays and what should be done is her team needs to get her better questions. Another reason for the interview not being pow is that she is tired. She was more well rested for the Ellen interview so she was more energetic and animated. However she covered all her current projects. She probably would have more to talk about if it was promotion for a new album. I would take this over the rambling mess we got last year. We now know was due to personal stress so it's understandable but at that moment it was cringe worthy. She seems happy in the photos we saw her in the recent photos. (Thursday 26 November 2015; 6:08)

Re: I mean no offence, but... (57,981) (57,986) by Lee TS from USA She is either on hyper mode and rambling a mile per minute or she's really subdued and slow. I like to think she was just really tired with the latest promo round. For Kelly and Michael, I seriously wanted to give her a shot of red bull right before she walked out. I do wish she would relax more and not have to check the monitor every 2.3 seconds and to stop the weird arm poses. Remember that one time she did a satellite interview and completely hid her arms behind the chair? But yeah, at least she's following along with the conversation and making sense. Kelly saved the whole interview with her natural peppy self. Oh, but how classy did she look? Gorgeous. Simply flawless. At least we got a good laugh with her puppies luxuriating in the Bahamas. How diva is that? Only Mariah. They really need to do a segment of Kelly fawning over M's closet and salon, imagine the hilarity of it all. (Thursday 26 November 2015; 5:51)

Re: I mean no offence, but... (57,982) (57,985) by Pau from Mexico I mean no offense to you either but are we really going back with this topic about the antidepressants? And Morgan? We generally jump into assumptions of what is going on with MC: her love life, health, feelings, lyrics, etc. We can’t help it, but unless we are part of her entourage or she talks about it openly, we will never know for sure. I've read that in an interview if she talks too much and is in a hyper mood it is because she is drunk (promotion of MIAMTEC), and now if this year she is reserved and taking care of what she says she is taking antidepressants? Then again it is just my way of thinking, but I truly believe there is a strategy behind her answers and behavior. She has a huge team working for her checking all the little details, all in order to ensure her success. (Thursday 26 November 2015; 2:55)

Don't rain on Mariah's parade (57,982) (57,984) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End These crazies are at it again. You all always come out when Mariah is getting positive hype. Sad, yet predictable. But we love it because it means Team Mariah is on the ball and certain people don't like that. So go on, bring your stale, crustry tabloid wipes and try to pass it off as love and concern. We see right through you muffs. You all ain't special, you people are a dime a dozen on here and every other board and comment section online, from TMZ and YT to the DM. How much does professional ignorance pay these days by the way? Baby needs a new pair of boots and you alls job spreading bullshit looks super low intensive. In fact, I could probably do a 99% better job than you do (which wouldn't take much, let's be honest) in my sleep. I'm not trying to be mean or disrespectful but you kinda suck donkey dong at what you do. There is no element of surprise or sense of urgency in your writing. Forget about originality and flair. The drama is lacking for it to be actually interesting enough that some [censored] fools would start spreading it, which is what you want, right? I mean, does it even really count if your message is stuck in an echochamber with the same people, going nowhere? Have you no pride of your work that you are okay with being so ineffective in your negative branding of Mariah that you fail to realise just how much you are actually helping her? This is not a Bond movie so you'll have to figure out the plot on your own. Good luck, you're gonna need it where you're headed. (Thursday 26 November 2015; 2:24)

Re: I mean no offence, but... (57,982) (57,983) by Travon..SweetSweetFantasy from USA Antidepressants? Boring? Oh my goodness. How sad we speak such things. I am laughing out loud. I watched the entire interview and recorded it on my DVR. Saying I am not judging doesn't change what you are doing or how its perceived unless you watch the entire interview. It was a great interview. I loved Mariah's behavior. It's called elegance. Not doing too much, while keeping your class at the same time. Kudos to Mariah for an all around great interview. (Thursday 26 November 2015; 1:23)

Re: I mean no offence, but... (57,981) (57,982) by ADAM from USA I agree with your observations about Mariah. This latest press tour from her print interviews to Live with Kelly and Steve Harvey have been a snooze fest. Same mechanical answers and lifeless body language. Not making fun of her but I really believe it's because she may be on antidepressants. A common side effect of these drugs are this kind of behavior she exhibits. It's unfortunate but it's true. I'm not judging, I'm stating the obvious for a long time. She's in her own world and doesn't give coherent logical answers or insight anymore to questions. If you compare her 1999 lost interview recording which was discovered earlier this year and her 1999 Charlie Rose interview to current day interviews and you'll see a stark regression in her personality and demeanor. I believe Morgan Carey's account about her mental state and while I'm not sure about his motives for revealing it, I believe Mariah is doing well and I still love her. Just because she may suffer from mental illness doesn't take away my respect for her nor do I think she should be ridiculed for it. At lest she's getting help and living her life. Thanks for sharing your observation on the board. (Wednesday 25 November 2015; 23:53)
