Israel concert (56,156) by Billy from Greece From the clips I've watched, MC looked stunning and sounded beautiful and energetic. What do these hater-reviewers want more? Condom dresses? Really? (Thursday 20 August 2015; 10:09)

Puffy/Mariah collab (56,155) by 123 from USA Puffy just announced that he is returning to music and has recruited his Hit Men Production team, including Steve J. I would love Mariah to collaborate with Puffy, Steve J, and even Q-Tip and make another pop/R&B uptempo like Fantasy and Honey. I miss those types of uptempos. (Thursday 20 August 2015; 8:50)

New material / Slipping Away (56,154) by 123 from USA With the last mediocre single and remix, I want Mariah to take her time making music and making sure that she crafts each song to perfection. The meticulousness of MIAM gave you a variety of genres and each song had its own unique vocal climax. I'd rather she release rare Sony material from the vaults to buy time while she works on a new record. Can you image if Slipping Away was released to radio right now? Off course all the r&b and hip hop stations will pick it up, but I believe it has a chance at Hot 100 success. It also doesn't sound dated and would fit perfectly playing on the radio at at the end of the summer. I also wouldn't mind her re-recording Head Over Heels and Last Chance with her own vocals. She could release an album of all her rare songs and re-sing those handful of songs she wrote for other artists like Trey Lorenz (Always In Love) and put it on a CD and call it Nostalgia.

Re: Israel (56,151) (56,153) by Chris from United States No, your posts are coming across as disrespectful. What good is it to come on here and bitch about the same thing everyday? This is getting old. (Thursday 20 August 2015; 4:54)

Israel, what's the big deal? (56,152) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada She sounds great and live in the YouTube clips I've watched (shrug). (Thursday 20 August 2015; 3:42)

Re: Israel (56,148) (56,151) by Giovanni from USA First of all [censored], don't tell me to shut up. Second, I'm free to state my opinion. I've been polite plenty of times. There have been far meaner, disrespectful posts. You censor words that aren't even bad, lol. If you or anyone is okay with a 45 year old showing cleavage, more power to you. Patti Labelle has showed cleavage many times past the age of 50 and I've cringed. Mariah went to Isreal. I woulda thought she would have been more respectful and worn something more decent. That's all. (Thursday 20 August 2015; 0:11)

Giovanni (56,150) by Luke from United Kingdom I'm guessing you would like to see her perform in a Burka? This is Mariah we're talking about, she is always going to show cleavage. I'm so sick of this "When you turn 40 you have to stop wearing what you want, show no skin and please anyone who doesn't like to see a woman over 40 show some flesh" attitude. I know it's cliché but age really is just a number. People should be allowed to wear whatever the hell they want regardless of what their age is. I think she looked amazing.

Re: Article: Mariah's Israel show not quite living up to the "fantasy" (56,149) by Mirage_Nunez from America I totally agree. It's clear that the writer of that article was being overly critical and nit picky about Mariah's voice. I heard a few snippets and she sound solid to me and the audience seemed very engaged. Ever since Mariah's vocal troubles have been brought to the public, every one wants to be super critic now and write her off as not having her voice anymore when half of them wouldn't have really notice until it was pointed out. (Wednesday 19 August 2015; 21:46)

Re: Israel (56,145) (56,148) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands Giovanni, do you always have something negative to say? And when you say it, you're always rude. Why can't you be polite or just shut up? (Wednesday 19 August 2015; 20:41)

Article: Mariah's Israel show not quite living up to the "fantasy" (56,147) by Nick from USA After watching videos from last nights concert this review is completely biased when talking about her vocals. With the part about the ensembles, i do agree, im so tired of seeing her wear the same BBMA dress but only in different colors, it is not flattering and it makes her look 20 pounds heaver. Other than that messy ensemble everything was close to perfect from what i have seen, and the audience was singing along to every word, so I don't know why he is making it out to seem like the audience didn't enjoy it either. Overall, this argument is biased and contains lies, she did a fabulous job last night. (Wednesday 19 August 2015; 19:57)

Re: Article: Mariah's Israel show not quite living up to the "fantasy" (56,139) (56,146) by LC from USA I completely agree with you. This article was obviously biased from the beginning paragraph, with the author detailing personal reasons that created a mess of a night for him/her. Though it wasn't her greatest show vocally, she definitely delivered. And that's just based on the videos. The crowd was literally singing every word. Even to not as huge worldwide hits like It's Like That and Obsessed. Then when the anthems came along, like Without You and Hero and My All and Vision Of Love and We Belong Together and Always Be My Baby and I'll Be There, you could hear the entire crowd feeling it and singing along to every word and ad lib. Mariah was good last night. They should give her a break. (Wednesday 19 August 2015; 19:46)

Israel (56,145) by Giovanni from USA Mariah looked bad in Israel. The dress was [censored] and again showing cleavage. Someone needs to tell her [censored]. (Wednesday 19 August 2015; 19:21)

Isreal reviews (56,143) by Leigh from USA The reviews seem to be somewhat mixed, but as the day moves on there are many more positive than negative. YouTube has a number of the performances posted now. It does look like a slow start, but once her voice was warmed up sounds like MC ended up slaying the 12000+ crowd. When searching Israeli news also ran across this little article which may not directly be related to MC, but definitely indirectly would affect all of us. Take a look here.

"25 years of Mariah Carey" by Ebony (56,142) by Malcolm from Asia Mariah Carey had really contributed to the music industry big time. I only wish Grammys have the respect for her and will name the "Best Rap/Sung Collaboration Award" after MC because she really deserve it. If MJ have "Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award" then she must have that because she has like obviously created that trend. I'm disappointed that because of this "diva persona" of her and wrong management choices, her musical talent and contributions are always forgotten and Mariah Carey's name often highlights as a woman who always wear gowns, having weight issues, "not singing as she used to" and diva behavior. I always imagined that if Mariah's career are handled like Michael Jackson's and Madonna's, she will be highly respected of most of the people, artists, media and will get the same amount of reputation and acknowledgement. I think she will be even dubbed and known globally as "Queen of R&B Mariah Carey" like MJ and Madge as "King & Queen of Pop". (Wednesday 19 August 2015; 18:08)

Article: 25 Years of Mariah Carey (56,141) by B from USA This article is the type of press Mariah deserves twenty five years into her career. Her legacy and legend is still intact. (Wednesday 19 August 2015; 17:04)

Article: Mariah's Israel show not quite living up to the "fantasy" (56,139) by B from USA Judging Mariah's entire show based on her vocals on Touch My Body, which isn't a difficult song to sing, makes no sense to me. If she was able to deliver on Vision Of Love and Hero, how wasn't the performance/concert a success? I can't take this type of argument seriously. I would also like to add that comparing Mariah's voice today to her voice twenty some odd years ago is like comparing apples to oranges. (Wednesday 19 August 2015; 16:24)

What songs are you hoping Mariah performs today? (56,137) by Nick from USA Since it's not in Vegas she will most likely be performing non #1 songs. So what are you hoping she performs today? (Tuesday 18 August 2015; 18:43)

MC NARM 1991 (56,136) by Warrior Butterfly from USA Hey everyone I think I stumbled on MC's NARM poster/ad. (Tuesday 18 August 2015; 18:20)

? (56,135) by B from USA I've spent the morning watching Mariah videos on YouTube. I started listening to acoustic versions of the songs from Memoirs and MIAM and hearing the songs stripped of the glossy production showcases Mariah's talent as a songwriter and highlights why some of her songs are difficult to sing, sometimes when she sings she sounds like she's harmonizing with herself. Does anyone know what's that called? (Tuesday 18 August 2015; 17:02)

Re: Record label contract (56,128) (56,134) by B from USA Why you mad? (Tuesday 18 August 2015; 15:24)

Re: Record label contract (56,127) (56,128) by Giovanni from USA Well if she wants a comeback she can't be releasing [censored] material like "Infinity". I cringe every time I hear the song. (Tuesday 18 August 2015; 1:52)

Re: Record label contract (56,124) (56,127) by B from USA Hopefully, she didn't sign a long term deal. Reid's comments to Billboard are worrying. She doesn't need to do a standards album at this stage in her career. She needs to make another comeback. (Monday 17 August 2015; 23:36)

Re: Emotions (album and song) (56,122) (56,126) by Bill from the UK I agree, Emotions is vocally breath taking. The whole album is so broad and the ballads so atmospheric. It is a beautiful, understated and underrated release and one of Mariah's best. (Monday 17 August 2015; 23:32)

Press conference Israel (56,125) by LC from USA Mariah just did a press conference in Israel today and she discussed the political criticism and mentioned that she will be singing "I'll Be There" tomorrow. Also, in the article that follows, they mention that 12,000 tickets were available for the show and that they all sold out so they are waiting for the approval of 500 more tickets to be available. Congrats Mariah. Here's a small clip of it. Hopefully the full thing will be uploaded soon. (Monday 17 August 2015; 23:17)

Record label contract (56,124) by SM from Citizen of the World Does anyone know what her current contract is with her label? Like how many albums in however amount of time or if it was ever released? I feel Mariah is at a point now where she wants a lot of time to have with her kids and do shows every once in awhie and small projects, and we might not see a whole "album" in a long time. Or maybe I'm wrong. Idk I still wish #1 To Infinity had more than just one new song. (Monday 17 August 2015; 22:28)
