Mariah (54,788) by B from USA Mariah is a good mother and she isn't going to bring every suitor home to meet her children. No, it isn't too soon. We don't know how long she's been seeing him. I'm guessing she's been seeing him since the Brett Ratner dating rumors started. Nick's Instagram post was directed at MC, any fool can see that. (Monday 22 June 2015; 13:20)

Father's Day (54,787) by Bill from the UK I was elated to see Mariah wish Nick a Happy Father's Day from the children. It must have been hard on him not having them around for his day, but the fact that Mariah had the children make pictures for him and focus on him for the day hopefully shows all those who put her in the "difficult diva" category that she is human, a mother, kind hearted, and carries herself with grace and class.

Packer (54,786) by Will from England Look, I don't know the guy. From what I can tell, he has a lot of money, a successful businessman and has been around the block a few times in the marriage department, with women who seem to be the opposite of MC. It's great to see her happy, but I hope she is cautious. (Monday 22 June 2015; 12:59)

Marissa (54,785) by Licia from USA I do agree that it's too soon for her to be bringing men around the children. It's possible for her to date without the kids being involved. My mom did it. I never knew my mom was dating half the time. Her having five girls was a big factor. In my 36 years of life there were only maybe three boyfriends that my sisters and I even knew about growing up because she never brought anyone around us. Before you all get on this "she's grown and can do what she wants" kick, things become different when you have kids. Both parents have to be selective of who they allow around them.

Much in common (54,784) by NHYTG from nyc I see two people of the same age, both rich and succesful, both divorced twice, both having younger children and apparently loving each other. I can't see what the problem is here. They both have played this game before. It's not up to others to tell them what they should or should't do. We have seen some nice pictures of them, that's all, no need to jump to conclusions already. (Monday 22 June 2015; 11:36)

Packer (54,783) by Lee TS from USA I think money does matter especially at this point in her life, she's a single mom with two young children, she can't be going out with no scrub. No but it does take care a lot of any hidden agendas or whatever. But still, I don't think Packer being a billionaire is going to impress Mariah all that much. I'm sure she has respect for him being successful and established in his field, but his money isn't going to get him her goodies. As much as Mariah does the "woe is me" moments, the diva's been living in the lap of luxury for more than half her life now. Luxuriating on a yacht in Capri is nothing new to Mariah, she's done that plenty of times over. Sorry, but it's true. Sure Packer can shine some opulent diamonds for her but I'm sure Mariah's trips to Joan Boyce over the years afforded herself a timeless collection. And I don't think Packer wants fame because from what I read so far he seems to like his privacy but I don't know. I hope they're enjoying and getting to know each other, Mariah deserves some adoration and attention from a man. (Monday 22 June 2015; 10:53)

Mariahpackercarey (54,782) by Leigh from USA When those 3 names are run together it sounds like a cocktail mixed in a glass bieker by a pharmacist from the early 19th century. Regardless of opinions we form about Mr. Packer (good, bad, or indifferent) and his intentions for MC, his money is a factor-as is Mariah's-regardles of whether any of us thinks it should be. But, as has been implied here many times, that a person's character is in no way propotionately related to their net worth. Leads me to ask a couple of questions about JP. 1) Besides just about anything he could buy for MC what does he have to offer that he can't buy or isn't for sale? 2) What were the issues with at least 2 people who married him, but decided there wasn't enough money to stay with him until that one vow of "death do us part"? 3) Does anyone else think that it is strange (in a not so good way) how the media has done a complete 360 in reporting on this relationship or moreover on MC? Sorry but a month ago there were minimal positive reports on anything MC was doing let alone how ahe looked. Now, regardless of how she looks they seem to be falling all over her. Not that I disagree, but a sincere reporter kind of seems lime an oxymoron in this case. Just thinking. (Monday 22 June 2015; 7:10)

What do you all think? (54,781) by Marissa from USA So some people in Mariah's Instagram comments were saying that it is too soon to have a love interest around her kids. I wasn't thinking about that when I first saw them together but I agree. I'm one of those people who believes that you don't introduce a man to your kids unless you are sure that this is the person you want to spend your life with. Going by what sources say that they have been dating a few weeks, I doubt that this point has been reached. I think that exposing your young kids to casual dating is dangerous because they could get attached to someone who could be out of your life in a short while. Please no one blow this out of proportion and think that I'm saying that MC is a bad mother, because I'm not. It's just not something I would do. Also I'm not saying that she can't date, I just think it should be kept under wraps for a while. What are the lambily's thoughts? (Monday 22 June 2015; 5:04)

Even rich people want fame (54,780) by 123 from USA I'm glad that she is out and about dating. I think it is funny how everybody thinks this guy is so great because he is a billionaire. Don't get me wrong, I wanted Mimi to date a man who had his own or even more than her as it is hard for her to trust anyone because she is so wealthy, but don't be fooled, just because he has more money doesn't mean he couldn't be using her as well. There are many rich men who want fame. Look at Sofia Vergara and her former BF. He is wealthier than she is but went behind her back and tried to get a role on a film she was working on. Wealth isn't enough for some people these days, some want fame. The man is not very attractive at all and doesn't look like the type that can keep someone's interest without having to spend a dime (ie good conversation, boring). I thought she was done with business men. Hopefully she will continue to date and allow herself to be wooed by several men and take her time dating. It was very immature of her to marry so quickly and she is getting a little long in the tooth to make these brash decisions like getting married with someone she barely knows. I just hope she takes her time to find the right man, she can now that she has babies as her biological clock is no longer ticking, however, having children means that you should take your time and not introduce them to, as Mariah would say, "every Tom, Dick or Harry". (Monday 22 June 2015; 4:21)

Mariah and James (54,779) by Luke from United Kingdom I saw someone on instagram give them the nick-name "Maracker". Lol. I thought that was a good one. Hoping they work out for each other. Also hoping for some new juicy inspired music. You know, from love and all that jazz. Cook us something fabulous with that new found romance Mariah. (Monday 22 June 2015; 3:26)

Father's Day post (54,778) by Licia from USA I'm happy that she did that. It's something you are supposed to do when you coparent. Put the ego aside and do the right thing. Nick's answer was great. He kept it on the kids with no mention of Mariah. If I don't know anything else I know that both he and Mariah love those kids. I hope they keep trying to remain civil in front of the kids. From personal experience there's nothing like having two feuding parents saying things about one another in front of me that they shouldn't say. The only thing I didn't like is Mariah's fans couldn't let the man enjoy his day without the smart comments. (Monday 22 June 2015; 1:52)

Packeriah (54,777) by Jeremey Carey from United States I personally just want Mariah to be happy with a man who deserves her, but I think Mariah may be interested in getting him on board to fund her new movie though. I mean the man smokes and in most of the candid photos she looks so bored. (Monday 22 June 2015; 0:33)

MiMi, flanked by Jamie and his ex-wife Jodhi on Instagram (54,776) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Yeah, Mariah is snatching every model's bikiniline lately. First Kate Upton's Game Of War gig, then Miranda Kerr's alleged secret beau a.k.a. JP. Models, you need to stay outta her lane because MC is not playing. I'm very entertained by this drama-free drama. The shade is seven levels deep and goats everywhere are running for higher ground trying to escape the tsunami that is an unmarried Mariah Carey. Take heed you all. Thank God I'm not a model citizen, phew, no tan off my hide. (Monday 22 June 2015; 0:33)

Packeriah (54,775) by darrian liu from taiwan Mariah and James sounds good. The couple name sounds cute lol "Packeriah". I hope they'll work out just fine. Btw, what's taking the Game Of War ad so long? (Sunday 21 June 2015; 15:51)

Nick's instagram post (54,774) by Jenny from South Africa To be fair I don't think it was about Mariah at all. He was also spotted holding hands with someone in Disneyland and he was probably just replying to those rumours. Is anyone else concerned that James was involved in a punch up with his best friend last year? I'm not convinced they're really dating yet. They thought she dated Brett Ratner a few months ago. She does look very happy and beautiful in all the Capri pics though which is great. (Sunday 21 June 2015; 13:51)

Marissa (54,773) by Licia from USA The thing is that Nick had his own money before Mariah. He didn't have Mariah money, but he had some. I'll agree that being with Mariah brought more opportunities his way, but he wasn't broke. Many of the fans didn't know who he was or his background so they assumed he was in it for the money and was lesser. Obviously at the time his status didn't matter to her because of all the men in her life she chose to have children with him. My point is that nobody is saying whether this new man is a good guy or that he treats people well. All I'm seeing is that he's rich so she's good and she'll be happier. Last time I checked billionaires cheat and are butt holes too. Half the fans (including myself) have no idea who this man is, but they claim he's perfect for Mariah because he's rich. They can't seem to point out anything else about this man besides his monetary status. (Sunday 21 June 2015; 12:53)

James / Nick (54,772) by NHYTG from nyc I hope James will turn out to be Mr. Right for Mariah, I like to see her happy and imo she looks happy, she looks fantastic too. I don't think the distance between the US and Australia is that much of a problem when you are as rich as these two are. Maybe she will do a Janet, leave the spotlights for a few years and enjoy a happy private life. James looks a guy who is really down to earth, I think a man like that will be great for her. And about Nick, I think he realizes what he has lost and that he has lost her for good. Poor guy, still thirsty. Bit of a pathetic Instagram message. (Sunday 21 June 2015; 11:54)

Shade or no shade (54,770) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Shut up, Nick. Just shut up. For your own good. Really. Cannon, that is. (Sorry, didn't realize there was a Nick who recently posted on this board. My bad.) Peace. (Sunday 21 June 2015; 9:54)

No more wetsuits (54,769) by Lee TS from USA I don't get why she's wearing one on a yacht in Capri or if she's just wading in the water on a beach. Come on Mariah, don a bikini and show us skin like you love to. It's summer and the perfect excuse to show them boobs, butt, and legs. (Sunday 21 June 2015; 9:37)

Latin Mariah (54,768) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Just like jazz and reggae, Mariah rarely infused her songs with Latin sounds. I can only think about 3 tracks from her entire catalog that are Latin-influenced: My All, After Tonight and I Only Wanted. All songs are winners, especially My All which never fails to leave me speechless every time I hear it. But doesn't anyone else find it interesting and even impressive how these songs, when played in that order, tell a story about desperation, doubt, and loss? I wonder if Mariah intentionally wrote these songs as a trilogy. I mean with all the similarities in sound and continuity in the storylines, she had to, right? Regardless, they make for the perfect soundtrack for a rainy late night alone. Just like Bianca, maybe it's high time for Latin Mariah to come back. (Wait, is Bianca a feisty Latina? Haha.) (Sunday 21 June 2015; 9:26)

Licia / the pros of Packer (54,767) by Marissa from USA I think the reason people are emphasizing his riches is because the general consensus of Nick's problem was that he was a gold digger using MC for a financial and career come-up. Since Packer's a billionaire, he doesn't need a dime of MC's money. I never thought I would utter these words, but there's not much that he could gain from Mariah that he doesn't already have. What Mariah provided for Nick wasn't just money, but plenty more career opportunities because people started taking him more seriously. They figured if a superstar like MC would marry and have kids with this man, maybe there's more to him than the "clownish" persona that he has. Packer is already respected and established so he doesn't need to use MC for career or financial boosts. Ultimately only God knows how this is gonna turn out, but it seems to be off to a more balanced start than her past partners. (Sunday 21 June 2015; 9:23)

James Packer (54,765) by Darryle from USA So Mariah's relationship with James is a big news I guess. It's been a trending topic on my twitter for a couple of hours now. Good for Mariah getting back out there and not dwelling on the divorce. She looks happy for once. I'm glad. (Sunday 21 June 2015; 6:01)

Stacey challenge (54,764) by Leigh from USA Hey all. I have been reading this forum forever and finally decided to join. So here are my favorites. For me, one of Mariah's best vocal performances arrived with the recording of "I don't Wanna Cry" rating 5. #4 Can't Let Go #3 Emotions #2 Vision of Love - this was the first time we heard MC's phenomenal range #1 Oh Holy Night - by far is my choice for absolute greatness And I believe there will be another coming soon that will be right up there with any of these 5 great songs. (Sunday 21 June 2015; 4:12)

I don't think they will last (54,762) by Amber C from USA I'm going to take a wild guess and say that I don't think they will end up walking the isle. Not being negative it just doesn't seem like Mariah to go back to a super rich powerful man. He might be a great guy but the distance, and lifestyle change... Lets see how this goes. (Sunday 21 June 2015; 3:58)

Game of war / James Packer / a new era (54,761) by Giovanni from USA I think the "Game of war" thing is cool. It'll be very interesting to see how everything plays out. Mariah is a more attractive woman than Kate, let's be real. No other woman to me has looked as hot and amazing as Mariah did in the "Beautiful" video. I'm also glad to see she's moved on and started fresh with someone new. She's looking really happy. And I have a feeling it's only a matter of time before we'll see her back in shape and bringing some great music on the way. I know most of us want at least one more good, successful era. Forget about having hits, just bring us the good music us fans want. *plays "Dreamlover"* (Sunday 21 June 2015; 3:16)
