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.

Tori Kelly (54,833) by 123 from USA Out of all the new young female artists that have come out in recent years, I never considered any of them talented enough to work with Mariah. Tori is definitely an exception. I knew Mariah would like her since she is a singer/songwriter as well. Tori is an example of someone whom you can tell was influenced by Mariah but has her own sound instead of straight copying Mariah’s sound like Ariana who doesn’t have a hand in her sound and is told what to sing and how to sing it. It would be cool if they collaborated on something in the future. (Wednesday 24 June 2015; 1:59)

Mimi L / Janet / Mariah (54,832) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada I have to admit a partnership between Mariah and Janet would be awesome. I'm not going to count on it, but I think it could really work as a colab. Janet's new single is very good. It reminds me of the Janet album (1993) with a 2015 twist. (Tuesday 23 June 2015; 23:53)

It was bound to happen (54,831) by Nick from USA For as long as she has been showing her boobs like that it was going to happen at some point haha. I doubt her nipple slipping out won't be a big deal because it wasn't intentional. Next. (Tuesday 23 June 2015; 23:44)

Wetsuits (54,830) by Giovanni from USA Leave Mariah alone. She can wear as many wetsuits as she wants. If she's insecure or uncomfortable with her current size, so what? No one knows what she could be going through health wise. Sometimes her own fans are her worst haters. She's still more attractive than women like JLo and Beyonce, who are both considered hot to the world but completely ugly to me. They may be in better shape but they're not pretty at all. At least to me. (Tuesday 23 June 2015; 21:56)

M (54,829) by B from USA This review (article) sums up why I think Mariah should make a gospel album. My Saving Grace, Fly Like A Bird, and I Wish You Well are gospel songs, songs that praise Jesus. Mariah please make it happen. Record an album of traditional hymns and original material like the aforementioned songs. I would love to hear Mariah sing Amazing Grace and Bridge Over Troubled Water. What do you guys think? (Tuesday 23 June 2015; 21:55)

Speaking of the "Bitch, I'm Madonna" (54,828) by Ardis Logic from Earth Only because someone else brought it up, I will throw my two cents in. This woman is almost 60 trying to act like a horny teenager. I saw the video, and it really is disgusting. I feel bad for all the people who had to kiss her on the mouth. Yuck. She looks like a vampire. It's just nasty. I seriously doubt that the young people today find her appealing. I'm so glad that Mariah doesn't feel like she has to stoop to that level. (Tuesday 23 June 2015; 21:31)

Instagram (54,827) by Bill from the UK Just have to say that MC looks incredible on her latest Instagram picture with Brett and James. How this woman has insecurities is beyond me. To my eyes she is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. (Tuesday 23 June 2015; 20:09)

Alexis (54,826) by B from USA You're delusional. Mariah Carey is still a superstar. Why bring up Madonna and her (publicity stunt) on a message board dedicated to Mariah Carey? Mariah isn't desperate to remain relevant. Madonna's video was a Tidal exclusive and features cameos from Tidal share owners. It reeks of desperation. (Tuesday 23 June 2015; 18:45)

Wetsuit (54,825) by Luke from United Kingdom I have a feeling she might be wearing them now because of aging. UV rays are one of the biggest factors in aging your skin and if it's one thing that will benefit her in this industry it is looking young. People forget about the rest of their skin but it all matters. It's not gonna look good when you have a young fresh face accompanied but a saggy body. People have been sharing photos of her all of social networks of her in that swimsuit costume she wears in her Vegas shows so I really don't think the wetsuits are something to do with her insecurities. It just saves herself from the job of smothering her body is sun protection. (Tuesday 23 June 2015; 18:40)

That silver gown though (54,824) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The gown she is wearing in her picture with RatPac is gorgeous. Look at her waist, it's so small. She looks every bit the glamorous diva that she is. Big hair, sexy gown, sunglasses and posing on a yacht. The fabulous life. (Tuesday 23 June 2015; 18:26)

Wetsuits and body shaming (54,823) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Wetsuits are mostly unflattering on almost everyone and Mariah is not really that big, but the wetsuits makes it look that way because of the unflattering angles. If she was wearing the same wetsuit and posed for a photo where she is ready for the shot, she would look a lot slimmer (like the one where she is wearing the wetsuit with the orange bikini, holding Monroe). But since these are candid shots and camera adds pounds, the pictures are not that good. Mariah is not fat, she is curvy and her height makes her tower over people. I prefer her curvy body over the stick thin anorexic bodies that are now idolized. Licia, I agree with you about women being self conscious and Mariah is no different. This woman is called fat no matter what size she is. Yes she looked smoking in 2008 and 2013 but I think she looks gorgeous no matter her weight. I would be lucky if I looked like her when I am her age. But she should seriously embrace her body and stop trying to hide it. Just go for a monokini/one piece swimsuit if she is concerned about her stomach region or just wear a short kaftan over the bikini. It will be sexy yet comfortable. Oh and I know which green bikini you are talking about haha, I am not sure if it was CB era or TEOM but she was really feeling her body at that time in a tiny emerald bikini. She was almost the size she is now, just a few pounds lighter maybe, but her confidence just made her look hot. (Tuesday 23 June 2015; 18:24)

M (54,822) by B from USA Mariah isn't fat. She's curvy. If she was so insecure about her weight do you really think she'd be wearing wet suits which are unflattering? She's enjoying her herself on vacation with her friends, children, and rumored new beau. She looks radiant. She looks happy and healthy. (Tuesday 23 June 2015; 17:54)

Latest picture (54,821) by Lee TS from USA On her Instagram posing with Packer and Ratner. Now that's how you slay. She looks flawless from head to toe. The curls are on point, the boobs got some color from the sun, and the dress screams fabulous diva. She's living it up and it shows. That's how you tell Nick to eat his heart out. Mariah on fleek. (Tuesday 23 June 2015; 16:51)

Curves (54,820) by Licia from USA There was a point when she was maybe a tad bit smaller than she is now, and people still called her fat, but she wore those bikinis and flaunted her stuff. I believe it was around the CB era. She had on this green swimsuit. She looked amazing to me with a little extra weight. As a woman I totally understand her being self conscious and I definitely know how it feels to have many people break your spirit and make you feel less than, but she's not fat. She's older than me and I definitely would take her body right now. Lol. (Tuesday 23 June 2015; 16:39)

Mimi L. (54,819) by Licia from USA I agree. I want to burn those wetsuits. Lol. I'd rather her just flaunt her curves in her swinsuit than wear that. Those things are ugly on anybody. There is a pic on Twitter where she has on a black cover up with a green bikini under. The girls are still out, but she looks gorgeous. (Tuesday 23 June 2015; 16:24)

Wetsuits (54,818) by ADAM from USA It's clear to me that she's insecure about her current size because she's in wetsuit whenever she's on a beach or boat but to the public its silly. It's silly because it makes her look bigger than what she is and weird when everyone else around her are in bathing suits. She's looks ridiculous and should just own her current size. She has big breasts and is very curvy - we know and so does she. Also having worn wetsuits, it's very hot and uncomfortable so I can't fathom why she doesn't just show off her body, she's clearly not shy about shoving her breasts in everyone's face. Fingers crossed she gets the message. (Tuesday 23 June 2015; 16:08)

Wetsuits (54,817) by Ardis Logic from Earth I agree Mimi L. the wetsuits do not flatter her body. Maybe some short shorts with a bikini top and a cover up top that will still show off her boobs. I think at this point she just is not really worried about it. Plus it must be really annoying having paparazzi there snapping pictures of every move you make. She still looks hot to me, how many of us could pull off the wet wetsuit look right now in those same positions? (Tuesday 23 June 2015; 15:45)

Wetsuits (54,816) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah needs to dump those wretched wet suits immediately. Wearing it once or twice was fine, but why is she wearing it all the time? The wetsuits are making her look bigger than she is. I mean she might not be confident to wear a bikini at the moment but then just wear a monokini. or at the very least a bodysuit like the Honey video one. She has amazing legs why on earth is she covering those for now reason. Out with it Mariah. Dump the wetsuits. Immediately. (Tuesday 23 June 2015; 14:28)

RJJ12 / Musti / Ardis (54,815) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Wouldn't that be the most amazing thing ever? Like RJJ12 said, you never know who is going to be around for how long so I would really love to hear these two together. I will always be sad that Mariah never had a proper duet with Michael Jackson. These two are my ultimate favorite and they could have come up with a beautiful collaboration. What sucks more is that these two were good friends and hung out together yet a duet never happened. I know MJ did back up vocals for 2 unreleased MC songs during CB era, but I am talking about a proper duet. So yes, Mariah pick up the phone and give Janet a call. (Tuesday 23 June 2015; 13:50)

Alexis Morell Carrington Colby Dexter Rowan (54,814) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah has plenty of people who would more than love to appear in her video if she asks them to. But I don't think Mariah is that desperate yet. Names? Jay-Z, Beyonce, Fifth Harmony, Terrence Howard (and the entire team of Empire, the biggest show currently), Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Britney Spears, John Legend, Kanye West, Timberlake, Usher, just to name a few. Heck even Ariana will come if Mariah asks her because technically Mariah didn't say anything negative about her. She has plenty of acquaintances in Hollywood, she just doesn't feel the need to always hang out with them just because that's not her scene. I say acquaintances and not friends because the people who appeared in Madonna's video were acquaintances. I have never seen her with them before the Tidal meeting and I am pretty sure the people in the video came mostly because Jay-Z wanted it to be a Tidal exclusive because he is still trying to make Tidal happen. No disrespect to Madonna, she is a legend and an icon and has been around longer than Mariah. My point basically is that if Mariah wants cameos, she can get cameos. (Tuesday 23 June 2015; 13:36)

Janet's new single (54,813) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines No Sleeep is hot. A bit too short, but still smoother than anything mainstream out there right now. Not the usual upbeat or midtempo first single we have come to expect from her, not exactly radio-friendly, but still interesting and reminiscent of her best work. Her vocals are still as soothingly sensual as ever. Seriously, this sounds like something out of The Velvet Rope or All For You. No one does slinky "babymaking" songs like Janet. Plus she's back with Jimmy and Terry who she practically grew up with. I'm so happy for her and Mariah. They have come to a point in their careers where they have embraced their status as veteran artists who have nothing left to prove and are confident enough to release songs that may not necessarily be single material, but are simultaneously expressions of what they have been through and what they currently are artistically. (Tuesday 23 June 2015; 12:08)

Alexis (54,812) by Licia from USA I think Mariah would have plenty of people to call. Maybe not Ariana or Leona Lewis (I don't think she really shaded them), but there are others who still respect and show Mariah love despite her antics. Me personally I don't need the younger artists anyway. I'm old school. Give me Deborah Cox, Toni B, Miss Janet, Patti, Anita Baker, Mary J, Babyface, Lenny Kravitz, and Prince any day over some of these younger artists. Although she's more of a new artist, I'll even take Tamar Braxton's loud mouth self. That video would be awesome to me. (Tuesday 23 June 2015; 11:35)

Janet and Mariah (54,811) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines It's nice that they're still in good terms. Some artists tend to drift apart through the years for various reasons. A duet between them would be epic. Since they both use vocal layering and harmonies quite often, I see nothing bad at all with them collaborating. I hope this happens for inclusion in either or both of their upcoming albums. (Tuesday 23 June 2015; 11:23)

If. (54,810) by Alexis Morell Carrington Colby Dexter Rowan from USA If I'm Janet's team or her stans, the last thing I would want is for her to team up with Mariah. At this current stage, Mariah is not commercial success or relevance. It'd be like us wanting Mariah to work with Boyz II Men to do a One Sweet Day part 2. It might be artistically interesting, but commercially DOA. Then again it could be a "B*tch, I'm Madonna" and get some initial shock press and still be DOA commercially.
