The media overkill (55,474) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I am a little irked by the over exposure of the Carey-Packer relationship. I am all for her controlling how the media portrays her but to always have to put the stories of their relationship out is a bit too much. I have been reading on various boards that Mariah's vocals have improved drastically and that she has been slaying each show. I wonder why none of that is being highlighted because first and foremost Mariah is famous for her voice and it was her voice that was attacked tremendously around the world last year (along with her mental state). So now that we have established that she is not a crying mess, dying for Nick, why not tackle the other more important issue, which is that MC is still the most powerful voice in the industry? Why not capitalize on her winning vocal moments that she is delivering. Yes one video was leaked months back to TMZ showing her hitting the high notes but that was months back. Why can't we be bombarded more with leaks of her vocal ability rather than her personal life? I am not asking them to completely stop with the relationship stories, but there should be a good balance of stories regarding Mariah and it should highlight her talents more than her personal life.

Bobbi Kristina (55,473) by darrian liu from taiwan May her soul rest in peace. God bless her and her family. (Monday 27 July 2015; 14:58)

Marissa (55,472) by Licia from USA I called it when those pics leaked. A few people got mad at me and a few people saw it as I saw it. Those cardboard pics in the club of with their heads was overkill and kind of creeped me out. As I said before she's never needed this much media attention for her relationships nor has she ever put herself out there like this. IMO all this media about her relationship has been overshadowing how great she has been doing on her last shows. I haven't seen any stories about her shows and if I'm wrong about that (which I hope I am) please direct to where I can see them. (Monday 27 July 2015; 14:53)

Bobbi Kristina has passed on (55,471) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End This Sunday Bobbi Kris let go of her life here on earth and joined her mother in the light. It's bittersweet because it was too soon, it almost always is, isn't it? I haven't even really mourned Whitney yet but if it was a matter of Bobbi Kris being surrounded in pure love then at least she has that now. My condolences to all her family and friends who are left behind with the burden of grief. May she rest in peace and always be remembered with love. (Monday 27 July 2015; 14:24)

Bobbi Kristina (55,470) by Billy from Greece So sad, so tragic. Just watching her and Whitney here breaks my heart. (Monday 27 July 2015; 13:36)

Haha (55,469) by Billy from Greece That's funny. (Monday 27 July 2015; 9:54)

Rare SNL rehearsal by Theone (55,468) by Chicago Lamb from USA Thank you. That was awesome. I remember seeing it by chance when it aired originally. This particular candid moment I do not have. I loved it. (Monday 27 July 2015; 7:05)

Packer (55,467) by Alexis Morell Carrington Colby Dexter Rowan from USA Does anyone else feel like Mariah is playing a game with this man and all this press? Like she is being her usual flirty self and he may (or may not) be taking it seriously? I hope she doesn't end up with another (more powerful) Eminem situation when things go bad. (Monday 27 July 2015; 4:52)

Mariah's choice of clothes, picking on Mariah alittle (55,466) by Amber C from USA Mariah's fashion moments ended in 2013. I think she desperately needs a new look. From hair to makeup to wardrobe. I can't stand those long prom gowns. I can't stand the Butterfly era slash We Belong Together era hair and makeup. I miss how great her fashion and make up were during her debut, Glitter, Charmbracelet and E=MC2. Oh well. lol. I think Mariah should go red in hair. I think she will look beautiful in the hair color her mom had during the 1997 Oprah interview, or something like that. Sometimes something as small as a makeover can do everything.

Re: third prime (55,465) by Alexis Morell Carrington Colby Dexter Rowan from USA Darren, if I didn't know you were serious or read this elsewhere, it would be a very mean and shady comment. (Monday 27 July 2015; 4:47)

Sorry to disturb the peace but... (55,464) by Marissa from USA I can't hold it in anymore. This relationship feels so damn phony to me. In the beginning I thought it was genuine. Then when the "candid" photos like the kissing photo started getting released I felt an irrepressible urge to call bullshit. Since when have candid photos of Mariah ever been "leaked" unless she was posting them to her own Instagram? My issue is the attention-seeking vibe that I am getting from this. If she's in love, great. I'm not saying that they should break up. But Mariah is too talented for this Kardashian "look at me" bullshit surrounding the relationship. Like I've said before, it feels like she is trying too hard to prove that she has moved on. And miss me with that "she looks happy so no one should have anything to say" mess because she looked happy with Nick Cannon as well and a lot of lambs hated the relationship from the very beginning before he even started pulling his stunts and shows. Surprisingly, as random as their relationship seemed, it felt 10x more believable to me than this. (Monday 27 July 2015; 3:21)

One song (55,463) by TheOne from Philippines This is a really though question. I think, I will choose AIWFCIY because when I hear this song, it brings back my childhood memories. And I can't imagine a Christmas without Mariah Carey. It is also a classic song that doesn't age with time. I always play this when I feel lovely. (Sunday 26 July 2015; 17:06)

Another rare MC video (55,462) by TheOne from Philippines Hi lambs. I didn't post something lately because I'm busy studying. Anyway I just want to share this great rare 1990 SNL rehearsal of Mariah Carey. She rehearses VOL here and Don't Play That Song For Me (plus rare whistles). check this out. (Sunday 26 July 2015; 16:57)

Third prime (55,461) by darrian liu from taiwan I feel that Mariah's voice is entering a third prime. Just needs some polishing on the runs and once she can belt nice F5s live, that's it. That would be her third vocal prime. (Sunday 26 July 2015; 4:48)

Only one song (55,460) by Natalia from Italy I would have to say "The Roof". That is probably one of the sexiest songs she has ever written. It's so sultry and smooth. I love how she sampled Mobb Deep's song "Shook Ones Part II". She really captures how you feel when you are falling in love or crushing on someone. So hot. (Saturday 25 July 2015; 23:33)

Mimi (55,459) by B from USA I think Mariah looks stunning as the "tire girl" in the kaleidoscope-inspired sequence in the Loverboy video. Her legs are amazing. (Saturday 25 July 2015; 19:43)

Camouflage (55,458) by B from USA Camouflage is a classic. It's haunting and deeply personal. Anyone who has ever been heartbroken can relate to this song. Her delivery is desperation personified. (Saturday 25 July 2015; 18:44)

#1 To Infinity (55,457) by B from USA This residency was a great idea. Her voice is in fine form and her stage presence is improving with each show. Mariah is primed for a comeback. I don’t think Mariah or Epic released Infinity expecting it to be her next big hit. Mariah is a talent to be reckoned with and she’ll be back at #1. Bet on it. (Saturday 25 July 2015; 17:55)

Packer (55,456) by B from USA Packer makes Mariah happy and that's all that matters. Mariah and Packer are cute together and she looks stunning. She's glowing. (Saturday 25 July 2015; 17:44)

Jhud (55,455) by Lee TS from USA I could never really get into her music. She can definitely blow with the big vocals, but she doesn't translate well to pop/mainstream music. She's very church-y in the way she sings. She's only good for that one Dreamgirls' song and doing tributes in awards shows. Maybe she can do a tribute when Mariah decides to do a Divas Live moment dedicated to her ala Diana Ross 2000. Jhud can definitely do MIH then and Beyonce doing WBT. Ariana and 1D can do One Sweet Day. Kelly Clarkson doing VOL. Fiftth Harmony doing ABMB. Aretha doing TMB. Christina doing Vanishing. Britney doing Honey. Maroon 5 doing Heartbreaker. Taylor doing Dreamlover. Lol just for laughs. (Saturday 25 July 2015; 13:10)

Re: Jennifer Hudson (55,454) by DreamLove from USA The song of just that type of girl does have similarities with Make It Happen. That low beat sound of the song, sounds like parts of Make It Happen. She isn't going anywhere. The song does sound like Mariah's "Last night a DJ saved my life" (low beat) but that particular song is not exactly original. Someone else did the song/beats before her and she re made it for the Glitter soundtrack. (Saturday 25 July 2015; 11:38)

She wants to have his babies (55,453) by Lee TS from USA That I don't believe. She seems allergic to getting pregnant and really turned off by her experience. The only way I can see her possibly wanting to have another baby would be freezing her eggs and hiring a surrogate. I can't imagine her putting her body through that again, she makes it seem traumatizing and such a nightmare. Plus, I mean, are her eggs still viable? I would think they're probably bit scrambled by now. I did wonder if she would want more kids if she goes into another relationship, but Packer already has his small children and she has hers. It seems they're plenty of little ones for a big family. I mean it would be awesome if she has another baby, another little girl would be cute, more chances of inheriting the talent. I can totally see Nick having more babies since he's a young guy and always expressed of wanting a big family. And I don't think she takes having babies lightly, she's very aware of the responsibility. (Saturday 25 July 2015; 10:11)

Vocals (55,452) by Mara from United States First on the topic of one Mariah song, that is just too hard. But something about the song Til The End Of Time from the first day I heard it has always put me in a trance like state. Sounds crazy but that song just is hauntingly beautiful. The whole Emotions album is my favorite but that song is just amazing. But I also just want to say can we mention The Vocals lately? Mariah has been sounding amazing and I am pleased to say she sounds back to fine form. From what she went through with the tabloids and the tree lighting ceremony and other appearances and lipcyncing and what not. She is officially back and showing them all. Notice there is never any press if she kills it, only if it's negative. But her press has been positive from the people going to her shows. She has her confidence back and I love it. I love when she does because she is not afraid of going there with her notes. You can see and hear from the videos posted how she is taking risks with her voice again and she is hitting the notes. Mariah Carey is the best living vocalist today and she is still proving that in Las Vegas. She was going through a lot of personal issues in her marriage and maybe that played a role in her vocals, but now she sounds better than she has sounded in over 10 years. She looks so happy too and I'm sure that helps. (Saturday 25 July 2015; 3:49)

Often imitated never duplicated (55,451) by Ardis Logic from Earth Yeah you're right Kate from the UK, those songs do sound very similar to MC's songs. That's crazy. It reminds me of the quote "Hate on me as much as you want to. You can't do what the fuck I do. Bitches be emulating me daily. Hate on me, much as you want to, you can't be who the fuck I be. Bitches be imitating me baby." I like Jennifer Hudson though, she has a great voice. (Saturday 25 July 2015; 3:41)

One song / Jennifer Hudson (55,449) by Kate from UK Fantasy remix, but the one where the original mixes with it. That's my way of getting both versions since I adore them both. This kind of ties in with the other artists topic, I was listening to Jennifer Hudson's latest album "JHUD" and I was thinking how much "He Ain't Goin' Nowhere" reminds me of MC's "Last Night A DJ Saved My Life" and how "Just That Type of Girl" reminds me of "Make It Happen". If any of you have a chance to listen to those songs, I'd love to know if you agree. (Saturday 25 July 2015; 2:18)
