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.

Young girls (54,809) by Jenny from South Africa Mariah has tweeted young females. Fifth Harmony and Tori Kelly. And lots of people have likened Tori's voice to Mariah's and she still tweeted her. Not to mention all the other females younger than Mariah that she has openly shown support to. Rihanna, Beyoncé, Kelly Clarkson, Alicia Keys. The list goes on and on. (Tuesday 23 June 2015; 10:07)

B*tch, I'm Mariah vs. Mariah, that b*tch (54,808) by Alexis Morell Carrington Colby Dexter Rowan from USA I was watching Madonna make an ass of herself with "Bitch I'm Madonna" (it is a fun song though) and I wondered: If Mariah tried to pull an all star cameo video would she even have any other industry people to call? I think she has segregated herself in an industry image "sing-sing" to the point that other singers, especially females, pay her dust instead of due respect. I wish she would find at least a handful of young girls to publicly support (go their shows, retweet them, etc.). As annoying as Ariana is Mariah did that girl dead wrong. Again, that's where Whitney went right, she acknowledged Mariah, when she was new, but didn't shade her (too much). Be more of "bitch, I'm Mariah" as opposed to "Mariah, that bitch". (Tuesday 23 June 2015; 9:24)

Janet / Mimi L / Ardis (54,807) by Musti from UK I completely agree, I would love for this to happen. I got into her music about 2 years ago. She is a great artist and has a very distinctive style. I remember in 2002 there were rumours of a duet for a remix of Janet's single Come On Get Up but it never materialized. Then when Janet was dating JD there were talks of a duet but once again it didn't happen. And I'm presuming they haven't spoken much since Janet and JD broke up. Nevertheless I think a duet would be amazing. Mariah has always said Control is one of her favourite albums. Janet works with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. It's a no brainer. (Tuesday 23 June 2015; 9:09)

Mariah/Janet duet (54,806) by 123 from USA Mimi L, I agree, they need to finally do a song together. They have always been complementary towards each other with Mariah saying that Control is one of her favorite albums of all time and Janet coming to Mariah's defense during the Glitter era and said she thought Mariah did great in Tennessee even though Janet was originally supposed to do it. I remember JD and Nelly both saying they were going to try to get Mariah and Janet on a song together back in 06 but it never happened. I know Mariah was all for it saying she would do it but JD hadn't called her so they can write the song together and Janet played coy, probably because she was working on a comeback without riding on anyone else's coat tails. I think now is probably the best time for them to do a record. With Michael and Whitney gone, you never know when someone might be around to create something you can remember forever. I love Janet's new song. It's very throwback 90's Janet without sounding dated. Her promo roll out has been perfect. Mariah's team needs to take notes. This is how you roll out a project. You stay quiet and don't roll anything out until the music is right and everything is finished. (Tuesday 23 June 2015; 6:27)

Rocky tough guy (54,805) by Lee TS from USA Oh dear this is going to sound horrible. I know Mariah is all about Dembabies and pacifiers but she needs to rip that pacifier out of Roc. He needs to tough guy it up and not hold onto that thing. Close the door and lose the binky. In other news, it's fun to see Mariah working them boobs in front of Packer haha. (Tuesday 23 June 2015; 5:05)

Something worth noting (54,804) by Nathan from USA Mimi's got a new boyfriend (Loverboy intro). I think it's worth nothing that Nick fell for Mariah in 2008, at her thinnest since the late 90s. Packer is constantly checking on her and pursued her for months (even dated Miranda Kerr, 32) yet MC is at her heaviest. Speaks volumes. I'm happy for them and he seems genuinely infatuated with her. Who wouldn't be? What a catch Mr. Packer. (Tuesday 23 June 2015; 3:10)

Pacifier (54,803) by Will from England A small point, but aren't Roc n' Roe too old for pacifiers at this point? What's the usual "weaning off the pacifier" period? (Tuesday 23 June 2015; 1:56)

MC/Janet duet (54,802) by Ardis Logic from Earth I agree Mimi L. I would love to hear a duet with those two. Janet just released a new song called "Sleeep" (Yes, it's spelled with an extra e for some reason). It has a very smooth and romantic sound to me. "Classic" Janet in my opinion. She has so many great songs. It would be really interesting to see what they could come up with. I really doubt it will happen though. Even MC said herself she doesn't want to duet with anyone but herself. (Tuesday 23 June 2015; 0:34)

Mariah and Janet (54,801) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah giving a shout out to Janet makes me happy. I am a huge Michael Jackson fan and through him I discovered Janet. Can't claim I know her discography well but I admire her and she is definitely an icon. I wish these two would just get into that darn studio and write and record a song. Working with Janet, Mariah can venture into a sound very different yet quite similar to hers. They can contrast and compliment each other simultaneously. They can make an uptempo song we have been dying to hear from Mariah. Ooh the possibilities. Make it happen. (Monday 22 June 2015; 22:56)

Nick (54,800) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Nick didn't "declare" he is dating anyone, so technically neither did Mariah. Yes she is seen holding hands and being close to Packer but didn't the same thing happen with Brett Ratner just a while back? Wasn't she pictured sitting really close to him with his arms around her back? So for all we know they might just be friends. So coming down to technicality, Mariah didn't go "public" with her relation either. Now about Nick not dating up a storm but just being photographed with random people. Well it's funny how many random girls he has been photographed with since the split went public. If these were really just friends then we would have seen them with him even when Mariah was in his life. Lastly, I will always choose a veiled diss song (even a straight up diss song) about an ex than going to an interview and counting down how many people they have slept with, name dropping while they are still married and have kids at home. (Monday 22 June 2015; 22:49)

MIAM (54,799) by MIAM from United Kingdom Its good to see MIAM getting some love on this board, I thought people didn't really like it. I think it's a brilliant album, I do love it hence my user name. Its a proper r'n'b album and I don't think it gets the respect it deserves really. I'm just saying. (Monday 22 June 2015; 22:18)

It all parties in any relationship (54,797) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Yes it didn't work out for Nick and Mariah, but I truly don't think everything he tweets or puts on his instagram is about Mariah. The public/media will read into everything because they are celebrities. And hey, if Mariah is ready to date someone. good for her. I wish her every possible happiness. I'm content not reading anything about it and I'll personally refrain from using a couple acronym. Lol. (Monday 22 June 2015; 21:40)

The smoker in the room (54,796) by Paul D from USA I am so curious to know how Mariah is managing the fact that James Packer is a smoker. Eek. (Monday 22 June 2015; 19:46)

Mariah and James (54,795) by Mara from United States I don't know what is really going on as far as them as a couple, but I have to say Mariah looks very happy. I think seeing the pictures of her and James walking in Capri that they both really compliment each other. Is he the most handsome guy in the world? No. But as was said before, they both are close in age, have enough money on their own, been divorced twice and have small children. Seeing all these photos of the two of them together on the yacht and walking in Capri are giving me the Mariah/Luis vibe. No not looks wise but Mariah liked that Luis was famous in his own right and you could see that when the two of them were in public. James is very wealthy and a known businessman and is followed by the Australian press as well as others. I sense she always liked that. Maybe the kids are just having fun and she saves any affection for when they are not around. From what I have seen she has Stella and her two daughters there with her and I saw a picture of Kristopher B as well. His kids were with them too yesterday, so who knows? I'm sure MC is not being "lovey dovey" in front of them just yet. Can I also say I adore the curly hair with the volume on top. Very Divas Live. Always loved her hair like that. (Monday 22 June 2015; 19:34)

Happy for her (54,794) by Human from World Good for her if she and James like each other. She deserves some happiness in her personal life after last year's events. (Monday 22 June 2015; 19:29)

Still listening to MIAM / concern for the children (54,793) by Ardis Logic from Earth Yes B, me too. I catch myself singing the songs in my head through the day. Currently I have "You Don't Know What to Do" stuck in my head. On another subject, I'm so happy for MC. She appears to be in a really good place right now with her new love. She is a very intelligent woman who loves her children very much. She knows what she is doing. Give her a little credit. I don't think she would do anything to harm or put her children in harm's way. They are going to be just fine. (Monday 22 June 2015; 17:09)

Nick Cannot (54,792) by Lee TS from USA I'm sorry but I'm gonna have to actually defend him. Nick never dated up a storm after the separation and if he did, the two have already separated. But what I can respect is he never made anything public, it was always rumors/gossip of him being spotted or him being pictured next to someone random. He never made anything official or declare, "This is my new babe. Now cry me a river Mariah." It wasn't until the same day Mariah made it public with Packer that Nick was out with a new chick. And it sounds crazy but I rather him being all, "Mariah will always be the love of my life, I'm forever indebted to her," than the people selling her out left and right. When you think about it, if he does rap about blank checks that's hardly anything. And I forget but I kind of agree when a fan says gloves are off since Mariah came out with Infinity. It's a diss song in every other line wrapped up in a fun melody. Lambs are using "everything you own boy you still owe" every chance they get on his instagram. Anyway, seems like both are happy and moving on with their lives even if Nick is being corny like fritos with the subtle shade. (Monday 22 June 2015; 17:05)

MC (54,791) by B from USA Mariah's Father's Day post with Roc and Roe was adorable. Mariah is handling this situation with class. I'm still listening to MIAM. One day this album will be considered a classic. It's one of her best reviewed albums and made many end of the year best of lists. (Monday 22 June 2015; 16:26)

Mariah and James Packer (54,790) by ADAM from USA It's nice to see Mariah on vacation and seemingly happy dating James Packer. Since none of us know the circumstances how long they knew each other and even if they recently met, is it really anyone's place to pass judgement on whether its appropriate that James be around her children? If Mariah is fine with it and Nick is okay with it, why does it matter to anyone else? I personally think it never makes sense when critics speculate because he's rich and she's rich then it equates happiness. Money doesn't make one happy in the end. She's made many decisions based on money and it's only brought her ridicule and unhappiness. Hopefully she's learned some new lessons but otherwise I think she looks great in her fuller figure and letting her hair out naturally. I love how she looks when she vacations in Europe and wears bright vibrant colors and truly what she wants to wear. I think everyone in the game is so stylized and has no individual style but MC is always true to herself - extremely girly and loves a mule stiletto. I personally like that in spite of everyone's ridicule over her fashion choices (including me at times) that she stays true to herself and never lets go of her inner 12 year old self. A lesson we could all learn when weathering any storm. (Monday 22 June 2015; 15:04)

Nick (54,789) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I don't get why Nick is being so silly right after Mariah's dating rumors surfaced. I mean he has been dating up a storm ever since they separated with not even one word from Mariah. In fact him going public with all those girls left Mariah in the media's hands to be portrayed as the "depressed/insecure/crazy diva who can't stand Nick's happiness and is stuffing her mouth with food and drinks". People just went on and on about how Mariah will never get another man with her cuckoo state and blah blah. He also went around flaunting his massive tattoo covering Mariah's name which again went on to give birth to several articles. So now when she is supposedly dating someone Nick is acting out publicly? What good will it do really? I never get why people go on and on about their personal lives on social media. I mean what can others really do to help them? It's silly and pointless. Grow a pair Nick, your big mouth is one of the many reasons the marriage ended. (Monday 22 June 2015; 14:23)
