Re: Wetsuit (54,825) by Luke from United Kingdom (54,858) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End I shouted you out in my last post, but autocorrect screwed me over. But it's great because that just means I can reply to you instead of some wet blanket. I love your posts, you never disappoint. (Wednesday 24 June 2015; 17:41)

Instagram (54,857) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter If I didn't know otherwise, I would have sworn this picture is from 1997-1999 era. What does this woman do to keep looking so hot? I love it that she is wearing this hair lately. Suits her real well. She looks hot. (Wednesday 24 June 2015; 16:58)

Licia (54,856) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The "almost kiss" picture gave me the same vibes it gave you, with a side of cringe to go with it. There is no way the paparazzi just suddenly got that picture. (Wednesday 24 June 2015; 16:54)

Who is Mariah's new manager? (54,855) by Ardis Logic from Earth I agree with you Lee TS that picture is odd. I got that vibe from it too. So I got curious, who is this woman? Her name is Stella Bulochnikov-Stopler. She is an American motion picture producer. She is an Executive Producer for Boss. She has also worked on Flavor of Love Girls: Charm School, Paris Hilton's My New BFF, Gone Too Far, and T. I. & Tiny as well as many other reality shows for VH1. So why would a reality TV producer be acting as Mariah's agent? I tried to find out more about her but there was not much info in the Google search that I did other than the same into over and over. Very strange indeed. (Wednesday 24 June 2015; 16:42)

Mariah's manager (54,854) by Lee TS from USA This is going to sound horrible. But what is up with her being in Mariah's latest Instagram photo? I don't know but she doesn't fit in the picture, it's very Hollywood big players and whatnot, and there she is who produces ratchet television. It looks like she's trying to align herself with, I don't know, it just looks very awkward and opportunistic of her. I guess I would want more of a behind the scenes type of manager for Mariah, but instead it almost look like she wants to be the star of the show. Or maybe it's just her face I don't like. Anyway, I hope she actually gets the job done and not just leeching off Mariah's fabulosity. (Wednesday 24 June 2015; 16:08)

Baby (54,853) by Lee TS from USA Seriously, the wetblankets brigade? I know Big Brother debuts tonight but that was silly and a bit immature of you. All the wetsuits posts weren't even mean or offensive to Mariah. If you know Mariah, she'll give any excuse to wear a bikini for the heck of it. Whether she's walking a dog in the snow or on the top of her roof celebrating with sparklers in hand. Anyway, like I've posted before I think a bikini frolicking on the beach moment is over due. My favorites would probably be her covering herself with a magazine or the CB era calendar. (Wednesday 24 June 2015; 15:25)

List of people you wish Mariah would work with (54,852) by Licia from USA Anyway back to the grown folk business. Lol. As the title says, who would you like Mariah to work with? What's your dream duet ? Here's my list. 1. Babyface - He has written songs with her and she has sang background for him, but I need a real duet. Don't know how this never happened. 2. Toni Braxton - It would be interesting to see how their voices would mesh together. 3. Michael Jackson - I know this can't happen now, but it would have been magical. This is a dream team as far as writing goes. I imagine them writing a song so inspirational and moving. 4. Prince - Another writing dream team. 5. Mary J. Blige - I want a real duet. Not that It's A Wrap mess. I have more but that list is really long. (Wednesday 24 June 2015; 15:11)

Mimi L (54,851) by Licia from USA I know she's never done it before. The pictures just look staged to me. I do wish her the best though. I'm going to ignore that marriage rumor as well just like I'm going to ignore that five year old calling people wetblankets. These new breed of Mariah fans are so mature. Lol. (Wednesday 24 June 2015; 14:54)

Marriage already? (54,850) by Ardis Logic from Earth Wow that is fast. I hope Mariah is not in such a hurry this time to get married to someone so quickly, again. But, if we look at the past she typically gets married quickly. It just seems rushed, and when you rush into things it could be a mistake. He seems to be "love bombing" her. Which also has me a little concerned. I believe that Mariah and Nick are still technically married also. I don't think the divorce has been finalized yet. Correct me if I am wrong. So maybe that is a good thing, so that she can't rush just yet. However the life of celebrities is very different from our lives as "peasants". (Ha ha.) They are really very different from us and do things differently. So it seems weird to us. I just hope that she is happy and knows what she is getting herself into. (Wednesday 24 June 2015; 14:50)

The Wetblankets (54,849) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Mariah looks like a billion dollar babe in a wetsuit. She's been wearing them for a good while since she's always in some body of water. There's a million reasons why she could be sporting one at any given moment. I love it, I hope we get to see her in all sorts of designer wetsuits from here go Infinity. Especially since the wetblanket brigade think they have any jurisdiction over Mariah's body whatsoever. Shout out to Giovanni and Like, good looking out. (Wednesday 24 June 2015; 14:38)

Licia (54,848) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha I truly hope it's not a stunt. If we go by Mariah's history, she never did resort to pulling publicity stunts by hooking up with someone to be in the headlines. Our girl is saying the truth when she said she is a prude because in 25 years she has dated very few people. James and Mariah look happy together, I have no idea about Packer but I find it unlikely that Mariah will pull a stunt. She has her children with her along with Packer and I believe that if she was planning to just do it for the media, she wouldn't involve the kids. It's weird but for some reason I am like wow is Mariah really dating? Because it seems like ages (which it has been) since she dated and when she was dating Mark before Nick no one hardly knew about it since it was super hush hush. But anyways about the marriage rumor I hope she takes her time and considers everything before doing that. It's a rumor for now so I'll just ignore it. But she does look happy in the pictures and is positively glowing. I hope she gets her happy ending, with or without James. (Wednesday 24 June 2015; 14:38)

That escalated quickly (54,847) by darrian liu from taiwan I'm having a bit of an overload. Mariah is considering to marry again? I know I don't really have a say at her life but I think it's going way too fast. But then again Mariah still hasn't commented yet on the rumor so let's just see. (Wednesday 24 June 2015; 14:21)

Mariah and James / moving on (54,846) by Licia from USA Ok I just saw some pics of her and that guy kissing on Twitter. I hope everything works out for her. Now Nick can finally show his gf and everybody can stop attacking him on his IG because both have moved on. As long as he and Mariah put their children above anything else I could care less who they date. I'm going to be super mad if this James thing is a publicity stunt though. (Wednesday 24 June 2015; 14:15)

Wetsuits and marriage (54,845) by ADAM from USA My point was really that she's great without them. Someone pointed out here that several years ago she was a similar size and on vacation in a 2 piece bikini that was sequined in a green ombre shade. Those were my thought exactly. I love how confident she looked with her fuller figure, natural curls and champagne all at once dahlings. That's all. She really looks to be having an amazing time with James and extremely pretty in that picture with the long silver gown. She really is a stunner. I don't know about another marriage so soon for MC but if it's ok by her ultimately then it's ok by me. I love to see her happy and it seems so. Perhaps she's also writing music at this time too so we'll all be the beneficiary of that as well. (Wednesday 24 June 2015; 13:21)

Are slow-burn songs becoming the new Top 40? (54,844) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines I'm a chart geek. I'm aware that numbers aren't necessarily indicative of the actual popularity/success of a song, but charts are still useful in identifying current music trends. Top 40 songs are characterized by (and often dismissed for) having easily digestible indelible hooks and generic beats. Prime examples: pretty much the entire catalogues of Katy Perry and Jason Derulo. They're huge at the peak of their popularity, but are mostly forgotten by year's end. So I find it interesting that more and more songs that are too sophisticated to be classified as Top 40 are climbing the charts. These songs usually utilize a minimalist production, have simple choruses that don't instantly gratify, and take more than a few listens to get into (which, to the current young audience, is too much to ask, knowing the limits of their attention span). Some of the best choruses are those that take some time to sink in. Look at Selena's Good For You (currently #1), The Weeknd's Earned It and The Hills, and my current obsession, Janet's No Sleeep. They're doing well for songs that aren't really radio-ready. It means more people are learning to appreciate the treasures that these types of songs hold. This is a good thing. It's a ray of hope for songs like Cry. and Camouflage to become hits. So I wouldn't mind if Mariah's next album sports less hooks than usual, as long as she enjoys making it, then that's what matters. Sometimes, chart success comes when one says, "Screw them, I'm doing this." (Wednesday 24 June 2015; 12:41)

TMZ reporting marriage / Janet / Tori Kelly (54,843) by Lee TS from USA Please no if the marriage rumors are true, she does not need to rush into another situation so soon. Slow your roll and take the time to get to know the guy. And I never found Mariah to be the "desperate type" (NTT) needing to be in a relationship or marriage, if anything I thought she always kind of repel the idea. Janet is receiving an icon award from BET, I think it would be really cool if Mariah presents her the award. It would be very fitting from one icon to another. Yes to working with Tori Kelly, a very talented girl and I can't get over how good her hair is. Her curls itself reminds me of young Mariah haha. Again Mariah, I know you only wanted but don't give your all if he doesn't stay after the night. (Wednesday 24 June 2015; 11:44)

Licia (54,842) by Giovanni from USA I stand by what I posted. It doesn't matter if you or anyone think the wetsuits are unflattering. If Mariah feels comfortable let her be comfortable. She's obviously wearing them for a reason. (Wednesday 24 June 2015; 10:30)

Re: Madonna / so sad (54,837) by Marcus from Brazil (54,841) by MimiLamb from Germany I have to disagree on one point, if Mariah would make a video similar like Madonna's she would get the same treatment. In general so not meant for only you Marcus but how I see it: Mariah gets bashed for almost everything, from her clothing to her boobs and everything in between (seen that enough on the messageboard and other social media outlets), but the second Madonna does something it's artistic and it's sad when she gets bashed for it. Madonna is older and does what she wants and she should, the same goes for Mariah but she gets the "she is too old for that treatment" daily. (Wednesday 24 June 2015; 9:55)

No re Sleeep by Janet Jackson is charting (54,834) by M from Asia (54,840) by MimiLamb from Germany Charting on iTunes means absolutely nothing, let's wait and see how "No sleep" charts on the Billboard Hot 100, that is the chart that really counts. I'm pretty sure she will do good with that song, but please stop comparing artists over it. I don't see why Mariah needs to be brought down or her last single "Infinity" because Janet had a different approach (saying how Mariah should be handling herself). Both are different artists on different levels "their own". I love them both and wish only the best for both of them. (Wednesday 24 June 2015; 9:48)

Bitch I'm Madonna (54,839) by darrian liu from taiwan The video is bad lol. I watched it only for Beyonce and Nicki Minaj. Seriously, even Nicki's verse can't save the song and the cameos can't save the video either. Respect to the legend, but [...], no one at school finds that video good. And the fart noises near the end of the song doesn't help either. (Wednesday 24 June 2015; 8:30)

Next story (54,838) by Alexis Morell Carrington Colby Dexter Rowan from USA I'll be glad when this vacation is over. I'm not a fan of celebrity press about nothing (she is at the beach, we get it). I wish these outlets would give her the same attention with the July shows come up. (Wednesday 24 June 2015; 8:26)

Madonna / so sad (54,837) by Marcus from Brazil It is so sad to read all these messages trashing Madonna because she's supposedly old and should act a certain way. Well, isn't that what most people say about Mariah and her gigantic boobs, the dismissive attitude, her diva behavior and her fair share of revealing outfits? How hypocritical. I'm not a fan of Madonna, but grandma's always been in shape and healthy. She's wild and unapologetic, but she's always been that way, and many women benefited from the doors she open in a man's world, but now she has to slow down because she is an old woman, how sad. I'm pretty sure had Mariah released a video jumping around and having fun with all these artists, most fans would've been like: "she tried something new and fresh", like "infinity is loving me more and more". I don't care about Mariah's age, I do care about her music really. These women put downs have to stop, especially coming from other women, it is pathetic. It is like when I hear certain women, the bearer of life, being vicious about homosexuality. Yes, all until they themselves have their very own gay son, then their bibles and religions have to be reconsidered. (Wednesday 24 June 2015; 4:17)

Giovanni (54,836) by Licia from USA Did you even read the messages that were posted about the wetsuit? Nobody was hating on Mariah. We think she's gorgeous as she is now and she doesn't need to wear things like that to cover herself because it's not flattering. We are ok with her size. We just want her to be ok with it and stop trying to hid because she doesn't look bad. That's all most of us were saying. You just ran with the part about us not liking her in a wetsuit. Lol. (Wednesday 24 June 2015; 4:03)

In defense of the divas (54,835) by Skip from United States I think Madonna should be able to act however she wants. I think Mariah should be able to wear whatever she wants. I think all of our divas should make whatever music they want. And I don't think we should say what's right or wrong based on their age or size or any other criteria like that. For any of us to sit here and say, "that's inappropriate" or "that's disgusting" I find to be quite negative and stifling. We certainly don't have to like what they create or wear. (I didn't like the "Infinity" video, but that was because I thought it was poorly made, not because she was, for example, "too old to be on a dating app" or something.) I just personally feel it's not for us to criticize how someone else chooses to live, dress, or express themselves at any age or any size. My two cents. (Wednesday 24 June 2015; 3:33)

No Sleeep by Janet Jackson is charting (54,834) by Malcolm from Asia So I just check the iTunes 100 and as of now the new single of Ms. Janet Jackson is charting at no. 14 and I'm so happy for her. I think No Sleeep will chart higher than Infinity and it's a proof that her taking a break is effective, she's really missed by the public. But as for Mariah, she must clean her image first if she will decided to take a break too because as what I have seen on Janet Jackson's case, genuine heart, clean image and raw talent will forever win no matter what, in any generation.
