Alexis and Andrew (55,486) by B from USA You've been on a negative streak as of late. Andrew, if you can't find videos of Mariah slaying in Vegas you might need to get your ears checked. Alexis, darling I can't. As for the cadboard cutouts it is a common practice and is nothing new. As for those of you questioning Mariah's relationship with Packer don't believe everything you read in the tabloids. (Monday 27 July 2015; 21:28)

Re: Love or business? (55,479) by Kyle from USA (55,484) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End You might as well go ahead and call Mariah a good digger and then at least you would be standing in your own shit. Instead you sound bitter that Mariah isn't a walking tragedy, like her enemies would like the GP to believe, but is looking forward and creating opportunities for herself. The idea that Mariah ever needed a man to be a success is laughable. If she was going to be an opportunist at any point, it would have at least been plausible before she was signed to Warner back in 1988, when she was poor as dirt, wearing shoes with holes in the soles and going to bed hungry at night and crying. But no, let's wait 27 years, 18 #1 songs, over 200 million records sold, $500 million+ net worth, making deals in entertainment left and right years in advance etc etc. Yeah, this is the perfect time for Mariah to randomly start sleeping her way to the top. The brazen idiocy. James Packer is a catch. Mariah Carey is a catch. They are more equally yoked than either of their previous partners just going by what we know so far. Financially, name recognition, clout, age, current family dynamics, social circles, professional ambition etc. They look good together and make a lot of sense. What is you and your ilk's problem with their match? I'm just playing Angel's Advocate. WoolPac for the win. Get over it. Mariah hasn't changed the way she portrays her relationships at all. The rest of the world changed. The Internet came along, celebrity bloggers and gossipers became rich and famous, then social media exploaded and now we have an entire tier, a generation really, of people who are rich and famous for filming home porn, partying and getting tan or pulling hair and flipping tables in a tirade. In this context that is the year of 2015, Mariah Carey's strategic sharing of innocuous pictures and quite unscandalous narrative of a very public courtship is as tame as it gets. She's doing the smart thing, adapting to the new format, in her own way. Mariah is clearly happy. Unless you have an actual real-world reason to object to their interactions, all you are doing is hating on her and the man in her life. Without naming names, you know who you are. How about if you have a better offer, join match.com, put together a profile and woo Mariah yourselves. Here's her matchfile. Go ahead, make her day, she's been active in the past 5 days so you still have a shot. Good luck and may the best man win. Put your money where your hate is. (Monday 27 July 2015; 21:02)

Honey? I can't describe (55,483) by Andrew from UK Can all the people declaring Mariah is "slaying" (awful word) in Vegas point to videos showing this. I just youtubed "Mariah Carey Las Vegas Honey" and couldn't believe my eyes. Her outfit is [censored], she's [censored] to move about, the dancing is [censored], all the comments are about how flat she sings and when she starts to lip sync it's like she can't even be bothered. What is everyone else seeing that I, or lost people on YouTube, are not? (Monday 27 July 2015; 20:54)

In other news (55,482) by MimiLamb from Germany Mariah finally receives a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on August 5, 11.30am. This was confirmed by CNN via Twitter. (Monday 27 July 2015; 20:16)

Mimi L (55,481) by Licia from USA I didn't know that was a regular thing for that club to do. I can stop cursing Stella for taking this media blitz too far. Lol. Thanks for the info. I also agree about the media not reporting on her performances. From the clips I've seen she sounds great. She deserves the chance to redeem herself from all the bad media and as you said they chose to steer the media towards her relationship. The non televised performances have been great and the general public needs to see this. (Monday 27 July 2015; 19:48)

Packeriah (55,480) by Lee TS from USA They are becoming a bit much and it's kind of yuck. They should keep their business private and if they happen to get pap that's fine. Their private photos should remain private. I mean just for the sake of the relationship if they want it to work. I think Nick got the idea Mariah, you got yourself a billionaire. Cheers, toast to you. Can you imagine if it was the other way around? The lambs would be on the attack. Didn't think Mariah would be sporting another heart necklace after she gave her first one away. I wonder if it's really true about the reported price, that is some expensive gift for such a tiny little thing. Anyway, I hope she enjoys a little time off and puts in the time to give Israel a fabulous show. Only amazing vocals allowed. (Monday 27 July 2015; 18:45)

Love or business? (55,479) by Kyle from USA I'm just playing devil's advocate. I'm not saying this is the scenario that is happening with Mariah and James but throwing it out there as anything is possible. He is a very rich man who is in the casino business. Maybe Mariah is keeping him near to secure her future of performing. He will have resources that she can cross market new material with performances, etc. Before the casino industry, he was massively wealthy at a media company. I think there is some business dealings that Mariah sees as an opportunity for her to stay relevant down the road. (Monday 27 July 2015; 18:02)

May she rest in peace (55,478) by Ardis Logic from Earth The whole situation with Whitney and her beautiful daughter Bobbi Kristina is heartbreaking. I really don't understand why things like this have to happen. I just hope that her spirit can be at peace now. I hope they get to the bottom of how this all happened. I have a very bad feeling that someone is behind both of their deaths. It's just too freaky that they both almost died the same way. (Monday 27 July 2015; 16:09)

Licia / cardboard cutouts (55,476) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Licia, I completely agree with your post but just wanted to let you know (in case you didn't) that those big cardboard cut outs seems to be a regular thing for the hosts of the parties at 1-OAK club. Scott Disick is usually the host and I have seen in a couple of places that when he is in the club, big card board cut outs of his face along with his girlfriend Kourtney's are usually waved around. Same with when Kim K and her family goes there, their cardboard cutouts along with the person they are dating are usually waved around the club when they make appearances there. So it's not just Mariah and James. I am just writing this because I saw others on other boards also find it creepy. Which I can't blame them since I don't get the point of it but it's a regular thing there. (Monday 27 July 2015; 16:08)

The "new romance" (55,475) by Natalia from Italy To be honest, I am a little creeped out by James and Mariah's relationship. I always remember her being very private with her relationships in the past. Once in an interview, she even said something along the lines of, "I don't think I should have to talk about my relationships until I am married to that person." That is not an exact quote, but it was similar to that effect. It seems like Mariah has changed so much over the last few years. I don't know what to think of this "new romance" between her and James. It's hard to say because you can't believe everything you read and only half of what you see anyway. Who knows? Bottom line, she deserves to be happy and feel loved. Isn't that what every woman wants? (Monday 27 July 2015; 16:05)

The media overkill (55,474) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I am a little irked by the over exposure of the Carey-Packer relationship. I am all for her controlling how the media portrays her but to always have to put the stories of their relationship out is a bit too much. I have been reading on various boards that Mariah's vocals have improved drastically and that she has been slaying each show. I wonder why none of that is being highlighted because first and foremost Mariah is famous for her voice and it was her voice that was attacked tremendously around the world last year (along with her mental state). So now that we have established that she is not a crying mess, dying for Nick, why not tackle the other more important issue, which is that MC is still the most powerful voice in the industry? Why not capitalize on her winning vocal moments that she is delivering. Yes one video was leaked months back to TMZ showing her hitting the high notes but that was months back. Why can't we be bombarded more with leaks of her vocal ability rather than her personal life? I am not asking them to completely stop with the relationship stories, but there should be a good balance of stories regarding Mariah and it should highlight her talents more than her personal life. (Monday 27 July 2015; 16:01)

Bobbi Kristina (55,473) by darrian liu from taiwan May her soul rest in peace. God bless her and her family. (Monday 27 July 2015; 14:58)

Marissa (55,472) by Licia from USA I called it when those pics leaked. A few people got mad at me and a few people saw it as I saw it. Those cardboard pics in the club of with their heads was overkill and kind of creeped me out. As I said before she's never needed this much media attention for her relationships nor has she ever put herself out there like this. IMO all this media about her relationship has been overshadowing how great she has been doing on her last shows. I haven't seen any stories about her shows and if I'm wrong about that (which I hope I am) please direct to where I can see them. (Monday 27 July 2015; 14:53)

Bobbi Kristina has passed on (55,471) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End This Sunday Bobbi Kris let go of her life here on earth and joined her mother in the light. It's bittersweet because it was too soon, it almost always is, isn't it? I haven't even really mourned Whitney yet but if it was a matter of Bobbi Kris being surrounded in pure love then at least she has that now. My condolences to all her family and friends who are left behind with the burden of grief. May she rest in peace and always be remembered with love. (Monday 27 July 2015; 14:24)

Bobbi Kristina (55,470) by Billy from Greece So sad, so tragic. Just watching her and Whitney here breaks my heart. (Monday 27 July 2015; 13:36)

Haha (55,469) by Billy from Greece That's funny. (Monday 27 July 2015; 9:54)

Rare SNL rehearsal by Theone (55,468) by Chicago Lamb from USA Thank you. That was awesome. I remember seeing it by chance when it aired originally. This particular candid moment I do not have. I loved it. (Monday 27 July 2015; 7:05)

Packer (55,467) by Alexis Morell Carrington Colby Dexter Rowan from USA Does anyone else feel like Mariah is playing a game with this man and all this press? Like she is being her usual flirty self and he may (or may not) be taking it seriously? I hope she doesn't end up with another (more powerful) Eminem situation when things go bad. (Monday 27 July 2015; 4:52)

Mariah's choice of clothes, picking on Mariah alittle (55,466) by Amber C from USA Mariah's fashion moments ended in 2013. I think she desperately needs a new look. From hair to makeup to wardrobe. I can't stand those long prom gowns. I can't stand the Butterfly era slash We Belong Together era hair and makeup. I miss how great her fashion and make up were during her debut, Glitter, Charmbracelet and E=MC2. Oh well. lol. I think Mariah should go red in hair. I think she will look beautiful in the hair color her mom had during the 1997 Oprah interview, or something like that. Sometimes something as small as a makeover can do everything. (Monday 27 July 2015; 4:49)

Re: third prime (55,465) by Alexis Morell Carrington Colby Dexter Rowan from USA Darren, if I didn't know you were serious or read this elsewhere, it would be a very mean and shady comment. (Monday 27 July 2015; 4:47)

Sorry to disturb the peace but... (55,464) by Marissa from USA I can't hold it in anymore. This relationship feels so damn phony to me. In the beginning I thought it was genuine. Then when the "candid" photos like the kissing photo started getting released I felt an irrepressible urge to call bullshit. Since when have candid photos of Mariah ever been "leaked" unless she was posting them to her own Instagram? My issue is the attention-seeking vibe that I am getting from this. If she's in love, great. I'm not saying that they should break up. But Mariah is too talented for this Kardashian "look at me" bullshit surrounding the relationship. Like I've said before, it feels like she is trying too hard to prove that she has moved on. And miss me with that "she looks happy so no one should have anything to say" mess because she looked happy with Nick Cannon as well and a lot of lambs hated the relationship from the very beginning before he even started pulling his stunts and shows. Surprisingly, as random as their relationship seemed, it felt 10x more believable to me than this. (Monday 27 July 2015; 3:21)

One song (55,463) by TheOne from Philippines This is a really though question. I think, I will choose AIWFCIY because when I hear this song, it brings back my childhood memories. And I can't imagine a Christmas without Mariah Carey. It is also a classic song that doesn't age with time. I always play this when I feel lovely. (Sunday 26 July 2015; 17:06)

Another rare MC video (55,462) by TheOne from Philippines Hi lambs. I didn't post something lately because I'm busy studying. Anyway I just want to share this great rare 1990 SNL rehearsal of Mariah Carey. She rehearses VOL here and Don't Play That Song For Me (plus rare whistles). check this out. (Sunday 26 July 2015; 16:57)

Third prime (55,461) by darrian liu from taiwan I feel that Mariah's voice is entering a third prime. Just needs some polishing on the runs and once she can belt nice F5s live, that's it. That would be her third vocal prime. (Sunday 26 July 2015; 4:48)

Only one song (55,460) by Natalia from Italy I would have to say "The Roof". That is probably one of the sexiest songs she has ever written. It's so sultry and smooth. I love how she sampled Mobb Deep's song "Shook Ones Part II". She really captures how you feel when you are falling in love or crushing on someone. So hot. (Saturday 25 July 2015; 23:33)
