Mimi L. / Ethan (53,182) by Licia from USA I disagree. I think it's commendable for Nick to respect Mariah in public despite how he may really feel. She basically made a whole song dissing the crap out of him (we all know it's about him despite what she says) and he's handling it well by not blasting her in public because of the kids. Alot of men would not be so nice. Showing respect to the mother of your children is in no way pathetic. It's what he should be doing. Ethan, Nick was not at her side in the hospital because she told him to stay and edit the Beautiful remix video. He tried to come but she made him stay. She has said that in several interviews after the fall happened. (Monday 11 May 2015; 13:15)

Eternal from Italy (53,181) by Musti from UK I agree. I never really liked either song, though LTT did grow on me lately. IDWC has always been too soppy for my taste. But what she did with it in Vegas is amazing. I don't think even Mariah knew how to interpret the song or where it could go, until now. I also can't get over that whistle on DFAU. It's like she added a completely different paragraph/storyline to the song. The inherent yearning in the arrangement of the notes simply shows how much of a musical genius she is. I love this era. This is the comeback we have all been waiting for. I hope I get to see her in July. (Monday 11 May 2015; 12:41)

Mariah's personal life and Vegas' dresses (53,180) by Ethan from United States Here's my conspiracy theory. As elusive and secretive she is, I feel like she's been dropping hints. First, one and only "Looking In" performance only a few days after she fell. It's interesting to see there were no pictures of Nick by her side (in the hospital, when she was discharged and so on) whereas when he was sick, she was by his side (on the hospital bed). Then comes the MIAM album. I don't think it's quite a coincidence. Every marriage has its ups and downs and only they know what's truly going on. Looking back, she was at her thinnest at 2008. I feel like she was trying to please Nick. I mean I can understand that if I was her, I'd feel to look fit all the time with the man 11 years younger who's constantly working out and having a 6-pack abs. I would feel insecure and not confident all the time. After the pregnancy, I'm sure it's hard for her to get back in shape and maintain it while raising two children. Yes there are nannies but in the end she's a mother and she still takes care of them more or less. I wish there's a video version of the Daily Mail interview to see her facial and body expressions when she talked about it. It's heartbreaking. I completely understand of what she said "If you cry you're not going to stop crying." It's so true. She must have cried when the kids weren't around or in the bathroom or something. And to the pink dresses, please change them to the red one you were on top of Empire State building promoting YME or the black Versace dress. (Monday 11 May 2015; 10:44)

Black dress, Vegas 2009 (53,179) by Billy from Greece Do you guys remember the black shimmering dress MC wore in the Vegas Pearl shows back in the fall of 2009? Now that was something. (Monday 11 May 2015; 10:18)

Love Takes Time / I Don't Wanna Cry (53,178) by Eternal from Italy Can we just take a minute to recognize how great Mariah did on the performances of these two songs and how remarkably well they've aged? 25 years and still slaying. Two ballads written without Walter Afanasieff and two of her greatest. It feels absolutely awesome to hear her sing these two old songs after so much time. They suit her current voice really well, let's hope as the tour continues she will sing the entire songs. (Monday 11 May 2015; 9:26)

Unplugged version (53,177) by Tevin from USA If the rumors are correct about Mariah performing Emotions at the BBMA we should flood her Twitter, Facebook, message boards like this one, instagram, asking her to do the unplugged intro to it like she did during the Chanteuse tour. That will shut every hater up about her not being able to sing anymore, and it will show everyone in the audience (looking at you Katy Perry) that no one can sing like Mariah. Anybody with me on this? (Monday 11 May 2015; 7:42)

Pure Imagination (53,176) by Norman from USA I had one of my crazy Mariah dreams this morning. It had to do with her BBMA performance. It was a video playing on giant monitors and she got in a limo. You could only see her when the street lights shined through the window as the limo drove on, but it was her through the years changing hair/clothing styles. She started off by singing really low (like in a man's register) and I didn't hear what she was singing because it didn't sound like Emotions. Then I realized it was Side Effects without YJ. It was all her very mellow and sorta torch song, then it turned. She was suddenly on stage and live. The song turned into this uptempo gut-wrenching pop song. And she was on stage solo, almost just a silhouette in a black, sleeveless, sequined dress, her hair in an uncharacteristically curly up-do. The screen around the stage projecting the one side of her face that was lit as she sang. She shinned, soared, and left it all on the stage. I didn't know what to make of this version of the song because I love the original so much, but I was in a trance. Her appearance confused me, but everything else had me in awe. I woke up right then practically clapping and with tears in my eyes. I still get emotional thinking about it. Here's hoping Mariah had an amazing Mother's day. And Happy Mother's Day to all of you it applies to. (Monday 11 May 2015; 7:30)

Mariah shop sucks, yes, Mariah knows (53,175) by John john from UK Just been talking to the boss of the celeb shop, she said Mariah had seen the merchandise and is pissed it's so bad. No programs still. Nothing but awful t'shirt and a just plain wrong flashing head band. Gutted for her and me as I've been here for a week and no new product. There said hopefully 7/10 days and more stuff will arrive. (Monday 11 May 2015; 4:27)

Cannon (53,174) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha it's so hilarious seeing Nick continuously trying to get Mariah's attention. I mean at first it was annoying, but now it's just so pathetic that I can't help but laugh. While I respect that they both are keeping things civil for the kids, I am happy that MC has decided to no longer be in that cloud of confusion anymore. Her interview showed that she has decided to put that chapter behind her and that she is not interested in it anymore. That and also how she always gives very short but polite answers when they ask her about Nick. I mean she doesn't have to go out of her way and praise him to show that all is fine. Her main focus is her kids not getting affected by the divorce so she really doesn't have to bother letting the world now how "buddy-buddy" she is with Nick. It's just not necessary and it's not true either because obviously MC still doesn't like the idea of him being a part of her life but she is sacrificing that for the kids' benefit. Nick on the other hand needs to constantly keep talking about MC, constantly "@-ing" at her. The gigs are probably drying up for him. I don't even feel bad saying that because he was the one who broke her heart and filed for divorce. MC was right when she said "lost the best you ever had" because it is so true, he may get younger girls, hotter girls (although I have yet to see one) but he will never get anyone again who is a celebrity of Mariah's level. I can bet on that. So Nick just shoo away and let the woman heal her heart. (Monday 11 May 2015; 2:32)

Yes she is a human (53,173) by Otti from Belgium As a fan since 1997, "Butterfly" era, I knew Mariah as a hard working person. So I knew there was something wrong in her private life since the shoulder injury and the divorce drama. Because after AI, Mariah was back in full force, looking hot and slim in the "#Beautiful" video. And the single was perfect. Last year was not easy for Mariah, her label didn't support her, the shoulder injury, divorce, copy cat Ariana, management changes, the album postponed, fans who losed faith. But I always stay true as a fan, Mariah did so much since she saw the light of day as a singer. I knew this interview would come. (Monday 11 May 2015; 1:30)

Happy Mother's Day to Mariah (53,172) by Bill from the UK And all the mothers on this forum. I hope you all had a lovely day. (Sunday 10 May 2015; 23:33)

Mail Online interview (53,171) by Tiina from Finland That is one of the best, most heartfelt interviews she's done in years. It reminded me why I admire and identify with her as strongly as I do. That's the Mariah you can relate to. It's not easy for her to open up like that I'm sure. I think she's very brave. I really feel for her and the kids. Divorces are difficult. My parents divorced when I was 5 and it messed me up almost completely. It must hit her even harder because her parents divorced when she was the same age as Roc and Roe. But one thing is for sure and that is that there's no keeping Mariah down for long. She's an eternal optimist and a strong person. She chooses to smile, to work, to put her kids first. That's one of the things I admire most about her. (Sunday 10 May 2015; 22:55)

So the Infinity video wrapped up shooting during the 9/5 show (53,170) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End We already know Mariah will look out of this world amazing, Brett always does her justice. She said it would be "fun" so I expecting a certain raven haired tempest to make an appearance but I might be just a tad bit obsessed and seeing signs in the cornfield. So, who was all in the audience singing along to Infinity last night? B and his family for sure, here's to hoping we the unedited story. And to whom it may concern: Happy Mother's Day. (Sunday 10 May 2015; 22:48)

Sat by the beach in Mandalay Bay Hotel (53,169) by John john from UK Beautiful is blasting out loud here. I've heard this track loads this week and it is still popular. Going to see Mariah again tonight. Woohoo. Saw Britney Friday night. I can tell you one thing without been rude to another artist. Mariah has nothing to worry about. The show is gonna be a massive success here, if it's anything like opening night. Excited to see the show again tonight. I was nervous for her on Wednesday but no nerves tonight baby. (Sunday 10 May 2015; 21:09)

Marcus (53,168) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter This might be a stretch and/or wishful thinking, but I think if Mariah can give a stellar performance of Infinity at the BBMAs, she can indeed get Infinity to chart back up. BBMAs is a big platform and performing the song there is like re-introducing the song so basically like a new release date. If she can just manage to grab the attention of the GP with the song while performing it there, she can very well get more downloads. The music video has been delayed for way too long. I get it that maybe they were trying to include the Vegas concert in it, but I can't help but be a little worried. MC and Brett were uber confident when they talked about the video in their impromptu radio call in and went as far as to say that "it will blow your minds". So at this point I really can't figure out what they have that is going to be so fantastic, but I have my fingers crossed and I hope that the music video creates another buzz to increase streamings and downloads. There's only so many times a non-lamb will stream a lyric video. Giving them some buzz worthy visuals in the form of the music video may be helpful especially if it has something that will go viral. Like "corny like Fritos" went viral. (Sunday 10 May 2015; 19:41)

Nick Cannon pays tribute to Mariah Carey on Mother’s Day (53,167) by Ardis Logic from Earth This guy tries to act like he loves and appreciates MC so much. I just get the feeling that he is so fake and phony. If you claim to love and care about her so much, then why did you break her heart and cause her so much pain and heartache? I have a feeling this is going to go on for a long time. He will be using Mariah and their children to get attention. It's obvious to me that he is full of (****). (Sunday 10 May 2015; 17:40)

Raphael (53,166) by Bill from the UK If you move your eyes you'll see the article on this site's news stories. (Sunday 10 May 2015; 16:15)

Mail Online interview (53,165) by Raphael from Brazil I'm so curious, please send me this interview. [Webmaster: I don't even know how to answer this one polite.] (Sunday 10 May 2015; 13:13)

Merchandise (53,164) by James (Twiggy) from United Kingdom Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone who has been to the shows yet seen any of the merchadise or has any pictures of the stalls etc? I'm intrigues to see what I can spend all my money on when I get there. (Sunday 10 May 2015; 11:45)

That "Dreamlover" video (9.5.2015) (53,163) by Billy from Greece Oh my goodness. Do you hear how her voice resounds? Her voice is such a wonder. Hearing this legendary thick mid-range belt makes you realize once more the difference between "sanging" and screaming (no to shade and "singers" or anything). (Sunday 10 May 2015; 9:58)

Mimi L., Infinity updates (53,162) by Marcus from Brazil Mimi L., looking at it realistically, "Infinity" did what it was going to do. It's too far down on iTunes now to recover. The video could serve as a means to promote her shows in Vegas and that's good though. I'm happy she's getting good reviews because at least she's putting an effort in doing things right, even if she lips, she's doing it convincingly. She doesn't seem to be giving herself away by trying to conceal it with the spinning or covering her face. The first show was important because that's the show the media usually focuses on, and now it is out of the way and with great reviews, now she can relax and just perform. "Leaking" the audio to TMZ was pure genius. (Sunday 10 May 2015; 6:12)

Happy Mother's Day (53,161) by Ardis Logic from Earth Mothers are very important. It is the most challenging job that you might ever have, but at the same time the most rewarding. I want to wish Mariah a very happy "Mother's Day". Also to all the ladies who may be mothers here, this is for you all. "For a mother's love is bold and fearless in defense of her sweet child. It fosters loving kindness in the children of her heart. But most of all, mother's love gives the confidence and strength to the young ones by her side, as she inculcates her value of their significance and worth into their lives. The more of this love a child receives, the more equipped they are in life to succeed." (Sunday 10 May 2015; 4:25)

Touch My Body in Mail interview (53,160) by Luis from Spain It sounds a bit strange, doesn't it? I think she was referring to I Stay In Love which was released in late 2008. (Sunday 10 May 2015; 0:11)

Infinity updates? (53,159) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So what's the update on Infinity in US? Are the radios playing it? I heard the song has fallen really low on the iTunes charts. I wonder what Sony's next plan is. I mean I don't think they'll let this single go to waste but after what happened the last few times I can't help but be nervous. They are shooting the video I know, but ya I was just worried. I really want this to work. (Saturday 9 May 2015; 22:25)

What I love about the Daily Mail article (53,158) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada It is just another one of life's shining examples. We can't judge each other. We aren't living someone else's experience, and no matter how things appear on the outside, there is always, always always more going on beyond the surface. No matter what the circumstances seem to be. (Saturday 9 May 2015; 19:29)
