Re: Prince spills tea: Billboard Lady Gaga's WOTY fraud (58,228) (58,236) by QueenLambassador from Portugal Prince hit the nerve. Billboard never acknowledges Mariah's success and rather give props to artists withe less achievements for some reason. Billboard charts became a business some are willing to follow but I'm happy MC is beyond that. (Sunday 6 December 2015; 15:53)

Re: Pow (58,223) (58,235) by Ardis Logic from Earth Wow. MC looks fantastic. So good to see her back to her stellar self. Thanks for sharing the pic. (Sunday 6 December 2015; 15:36)

Just wanted to share this (58,234) by Ardis Logic from Earth Mariah Carey - Anytime you need a friend (Soul Convention Remix) (Acapella). This version is so beautiful. (Sunday 6 December 2015; 15:35)

Those runs (58,233) by Billy from Greece Holy moly listen to them runs. (Sunday 6 December 2015; 15:16)

Re: Pow (58,223) (58,232) by Lee TS from USA Thing is with M, it wasn't really slowly but surely. It was kind of very suddenly. I hope she's doing it the healthy way and not some fad crash diet. But pow is right, she's looking amazing. (Sunday 6 December 2015; 13:56)

Re: Jay Z Busta (58,217) (58,231) by Sarah from Netherlands The new song will probably be "Can't Say No" since Rick Ross will be there too (my guess). (Sunday 6 December 2015; 12:15)

Re: Prince spills tea: Billboard Lady Gaga's WOTY Fraud (58,221) (58,228) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Well, it doesn't much matter. The ones who are smart enough can research it themselves even without any links to Prince's tweet or the letter of resignation from the Billboard employee. It probably won't change the culture of corruption that the entertainment press is mired in anytime soon but it's a start. At least we know Mariah isn't mixed up in this mess because he always gets the proverbial short end of the stick from most media outlets. This explains why she was completely ignored at this years Billboard Music Awards even though she hadn't honoured them with her presence since 1998. They neglected to give her an award for any of her major chart records since or even just for her legendary longevity to mark her 25th anniversary on the BB charts. JLo got their Icon Award just last year but somehow Mariah is chopped liver? It's all beginning to make sense now. This sucks for the other "legitimate" winners though, I'll say that much. Wonder what other publications have the same bribery culture? I can think of at least one other major industry staple that regularly leaves Mariah out of their lists of Songwriters for no apparent reason other than obvious bias. But you didn't hear it from me.

Re: Just found a gem (58,215) (58,227) by Stacey from USA First off, I can't believe this only has 6 likes (at the time I wrote this, lol). Gem doesn't even begin to describe how awesome this track is. I wish there were studio acapella versions of all her songs. There were so many neat runs and phrases I didn't know existed. You don't notice them over the arrangements. (Sunday 6 December 2015; 7:59)

Re: Jay Z Busta (58,217) (58,226) by Giselle UrbanPoshBeauty from US of A Go on Big Jim Wrights Instagram, that wasn't Jay's B-day. Some rich business woman paid her to perform at her party. (Sunday 6 December 2015; 6:02)

Re: Prince spills tea: Billboard Lady Gaga's WOTY Fraud (58,221) (58,225) by Giselle UrbanPoshBeauty from US of A LMAO boom. (Sunday 6 December 2015; 6:00)

Re: Jay Z Busta (58,217) (58,224) by Lee TS from USA She didn't attend Jay Z's birthday, I never thought it was for that. It was a private gig for a rich white lady CEO. Mariah looked amazing though, she's getting that body back. (Sunday 6 December 2015; 3:31)

Pow (58,223) by Marissa from USA Mariah looks stellar in this photo. Shoutout to the "she's slowly but surely losing weight" quote because it's accurate. Body on fleek. (Sunday 6 December 2015; 3:08)

Prince spills tea: Billboard Lady Gaga's WOTY Fraud (58,221) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Hey, how come half the post is edited/deleted? Why not post the sources, i.e. the letter attached? It's how I was introduced to the news and how it should be told. I guess I could repost just the links. [Webmaster: Who cares what your sources are?] (Sunday 6 December 2015; 1:47)

(58,220) by Andrew from UK Update from Dreamville: "Dear Diary, today I stringed words together that make no sense to anybody but they do to me and I was given a gold star. Still in here. No chance of escape to the real world. Someday, ooh ooh, someday." This is scary, right? Seriously scary. (Sunday 6 December 2015; 1:40)

Re: Just found a gem (58,215) (58,219) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Thank you so much. (Sunday 6 December 2015; 1:22)

Prince spills tea: Billboard Lady Gaga's WOTY fraud (58,218) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End "The concepts of honesty and top-notch journalism that we were taught to value here at Billboard have slipped away." It's all over Twitter. I was waiting for some sort of damage control but Billboards last tweet is from 2-3 days ago, ironically congratulating Lady Gaga for her Woman of The Year "win". Basically, the writer is retelling how Gaga supposedly secured her Billboard Magazine WOTY award through payola disguised as charity and also alludes to other similar situations during her time at Billboard as the reason for her resignation. I'm not even a little bit surprised at this when every other article BB writes about Mariah is literally hack journalism. If Billboard is as corrupt as this former employee plainly states then it must be just as easy for someone to sabotage by planting unfavourable stories/narratives and buy negative press. It explains so much that I don't even need to elaborate beyond the many rants I've already had in the past on this very board on this particular subject. So, In the words of Prince Rogers Nelson: Thoughts? Discuss. (Sunday 6 December 2015; 1:06)

Jay Z Busta (58,217) by Aaron from UK So Mariah attended Jay-Z birthday bash and sang "Shake it off" and AIWFCIY. Today with Busta she apparently is singing "I know what you want" and another new song. Source: Instagram. (Sunday 6 December 2015; 0:44)

Just found a gem (58,215) by Familitchi from France Just found a gem. (Saturday 5 December 2015; 23:41)

Article: Phoenix, AZ August 23rd Meet and Greet (58,214) by Bryan Austad from USA Love this, very happy memory that day. I am in the photo on the right with my mother. Any ideas on how I might be able to find a high quality version of this? Thank you dahlings. (Saturday 5 December 2015; 23:32)

Re: Apostasy of the Lambs (58,171) (58,213) by Andrew from UK Your. Post. Is. Awesome. Don't go to Dreamville, you'll need to be certified by two medical professionals to be let out. Hope you enjoy The Beacon show. (Saturday 5 December 2015; 21:09)

Re: Appreciative of MC (58,211) (58,212) by Andrew from UK What a lovely, thoughtful post. (Saturday 5 December 2015; 20:55)

Appreciative of MC (58,211) by DK from USA One thing is constant - I truly appreciate Mariah as an artist and as a person overall (as I have observed her persona over the years). Mariah's musicality and vocal delivery, especially the recorded version, are impeccable by any industry standards. MC is extremely versatile with regards to genres. I like that she is original in her works and has great integrity. If you pay careful attention to her relationships with family, friends and colleagues, you will notice commonality in her sense of loyalty, respect and genuine love. While the music industry can be scrupulous, Mariah's longevity is a testament to her talent, willpower, work ethic and business intuition. Are there superficial moments, and times when she slips? Of course, but so do all of us in our personal and professional life. When you follow MC's endeavors, it's natural to comment (constructively) with the end goal being: you want her to do well and to succeed as she has done for some many years. At the same time, MC is who she is, and only she can deliver the authentic creative output we've come to love. There is a fine balance to expanding personal boundaries in compatibility with public noise and expectations. Self awareness is key. I wish Mariah continued success in all fronts. P.S. I am currently enjoying "One Child". (Saturday 5 December 2015; 19:39)

Mariah's message to Jay Z (58,210) by Luke from United Kingdom I know this is digging up old dirt lol but ever since Mariah mentioned someone stealing her work I've been curious to know who it was. It probably isn't Beyonce or Jay Z now that she's spoken to them. I did wonder if it might have been Taylor Swift which someone might have mentioned before? 1989 was the time Mariah had a demo full of classics and was starting out, I wonder if that was the concept at the time. Maybe not for MIAM but an idea for a future album. The videos for Taylor's songs for that album were very Mariah-esque as well. It's all such a mystery haha. (Saturday 5 December 2015; 17:36)

Mariah's birthday Tweet to Jay-Z (58,209) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End "Happy birthday to my friend Jay. You deserve another great year and many more." Awww isn't that just darling? MiMi is such a genuine and loyal friend. That can't be said for every "diva" these days. Here's the picture attached. (Saturday 5 December 2015; 13:50)
