Tidal (51,261) by Lee from USA I am glad that Mimi doesn't ride Jay-Z's coattails to succeed. I mean, I remember when he was a nobody in the 1990s that probably begged to be on "Heartbreaker". Besides, he hasn't done much for her lately. Where was he and his wife when the media were (and still is) tearing her down? Why the f*ck should she waste her time making him look better at the expense of her own? Mimi has shined without Jay-Z for most of her career, and she shouldn't need his ass now.

Marcel (51,260) by Abraham from USA What flew up your ass that you had to take it out on Mariah? You're whole entire post was practically negative. From her looks to her voice to her weight. You seem like a troll in disguise. Mariah doesn't need fans like you. Oh and by the way, your old dog picture looked better. (Tuesday 31 March 2015; 20:22)

It's just sex, chill out / Glitter (51,259) by Edward from USA The fact that Mariah may be having sex with Brett doesn't necessarily mean she's going to marry him or that she's dating him. They are just having fun, neither of them is underage, so they can have as much fun as they want. As for those who consider Brett not suitable for Mariah because of his looks, imagine Mariah without the following: extensions, eyelashes, corset, and makeup. I'm pretty sure if Brett gets a facial, a haircut, a manicure, a pedicure, and put some make-up on, he would look very presentable. Nick was very presentable, but look what happened. Looks can be deceiving. When you only concentrate what's on the outside, that's usually what you get. Most people wouldn't believe whom Hugh Jackman is married to, but they've been together for nearly 20 years, with a solid marriage of 16. All that glitters isn't necessarily gold.

Brett Ratner (51,258) by Raphael from Brazil So Mariah is really with this guy? Ew Mariah. Nick is an a**hole but at least he's hot. (Tuesday 31 March 2015; 19:14)

MC and Brett (51,257) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Guys lets just end this once and for all. Brett has denied it, B Scott has denied it, TMZ found pictures of Brett kissing another woman on the yacht, so we can safely say that they are not dating. Moreover like I sadi before, Brett has said before that MC is like a sister to him. Done. (Tuesday 31 March 2015; 14:56)

NYHoTShotta (51,256) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Hey, well I was never hoping for pristine vocals. Infact if you re-read my posts, you will see I was one of the people who was defending her skit from the start. I also mentioned that I am glad she sat back and let James Cordon get the spotlight instead of trying to show off her voice. Just saying. Bottom line, I have maintained that Mariah's vocal talents should not be judged based on a skit that is supposed to be funny. (Tuesday 31 March 2015; 14:53)

Weakness Of The Body (51,255) by Lainsky from Philippines I came across with her demo tape on YouTube and I found this song really nice. It would be great if she will record it today and make it as carrier single of her upcoming re-edition of #1s, if she's going to include new songs. I think it would be better if it is a 2-CD album. All her 18 number 1s on one CD and new or unreleased songs like this one on the other. That would be awesome. I am sorry but I can't get over with this song. It sounds so fresh after 29 years. (Tuesday 31 March 2015; 14:10)

Tidal (51,252) by 123 from USA Jay-Z and a bunch of artists launched their own way of accessing their music called Tidal. I've been on it all day and they have great array of music. Mariah should give Jay and B a call and jump on this as well. It would be great press and a new way of releasing her album. (Tuesday 31 March 2015; 7:51)

New global release date for albums July 10th (51,251) by 123 from USA Do you think Mariah will wait until July 10th to release her album globably? Releasing her last album on different dates really hurt her last release. What does everyone else think? Do you think her next release should be released on the same date globally? (Tuesday 31 March 2015; 7:47)

Mariah (51,250) by Marcel from Montréal, Canada I think she's not dating Brett but you have to remember back in 08 no one believed she'd married that thug Nick when she actually did it. If they're together, good for them but, who needs a relationship anyway? She doesn't need that. Someone said MC wouldn't date a guy who sports a homeless look lol, what about Nick's vulgar look? What about Mariah's look for God's sake? The dated extensions, untrendy blond, the so unnatural tanned make-up and always, no matter where, [censored] that's not precisely the nicest look. Also, don't know why she hasn't been able to drop those extra kilos she has on. I know [censored] will always make her look heavier than her actual build but [censored]. I hope she's working on getting in shape. She's been able to do so [...]. On her career, I'm sure that if she listens to her new [...] team and takes advices she can really come back to a pretty decent point. And about the carpool thing, guess nobody wanted her to show-off vocally (like if she could) but she should've sung like anyother singer would have. To me she had that nervous look in her eyes like "I won't be able" and guess that's why she started the skit as usual: "I won't be singing because I've had no sleep" or "I have a cold", you know, that tired excuse of hers. Anyway, good to know she has plenty of plans for 2015 other than the Vegas thing and hope, really deeply hope this time around it turns out good for her and as consequence, for us.

Re: Mimi L / carpool karaoke (51,249) by NYHotShotta from USA She said in the video she was up all night or all morning or something like that so that's why sounded like that. She probably was singing in the studio all night so that's why she couldn't deliver the pristine vocals you were hoping for. But I thought it was good to see her be cool and not worry about lighting or camera angles. (Tuesday 31 March 2015; 3:20)

Tidal (51,248) by Billy from England, UK Has Mariah joined this new Tidal music thing? (Tuesday 31 March 2015; 3:13)

Tide (51,247) by Will from England I'm quite aware that this is not directly MC related, however, I just wanted to hear your thoughts on the new music streaming platform that Jay-Z and co have just launched. Would you sign up for it, if artists like MC began to withdraw their songs from other streaming services Spotify like Taylor S did a few months ago (a move that I applaud by the way), if it meant they could get a bigger royalty cheque elsewhere? To me, it means that more artists are getting more control over their songs, and finding the best ways in which they can share the creativity with the world, whilst also making sure that they're getting paid properly, which is a good thing. I dislike services such as spotify because (from my own experience from publishing), if you release material that is a part of a service in which the listener (or reader) only has to pay a subscription amount, and not pay the full price for the product, then you know you're going to be paid dust for it. Great for the listener, bad for the artist. With Tide, the concept suggests that it would be more equal ground. Can't wait to read more about how it actually works. Looking forward to reading your thoughts. (Tuesday 31 March 2015; 2:17)

MC out and about (51,246) by Ardis Logic from Earth It's so good to see MC out having fun with her friends. She looks happy. I also enjoyed seeing the pictures of little Monroe. She is so cute. (Tuesday 31 March 2015; 1:14)

The power of media (51,245) by Jono from USA Whether or not Mariah and Brett are together (I highly doubt they are), I'm certain it is to slowly drum up publicity about Mariah's new projects. With social media highly accessible nowadays, celebrity gossip spreads like wildfire. Hollywood and music agents have picked up on this, and will actually set up high profile people to hang out, creating gossip. Sure it can be tacky, but people love to eat gossip up and it sells. Obviously I'm not calling Mariah and Brett attention seekers, I'm just saying this is a good move because even if this inevitably ends up on the tabloids, it's putting Mariah back in the public conscious. It's also erasing the negativity of 2014. Instead of her shaky performances and weak commercial sales, it's now about who she may or may not be with. Of course us lambs are smart enough to know that they are just friends and collaborators, but the general public doesn't know that and this will only create interest. Her stint with James Corden also created positive publicity for her, and I'm guessing right now her and her team are focused on changing the public's perception of Mariah. She's a real girl, so they're slowly shifting the tide from diva to down to earth. I don't buy any of the gossip crap, but if it's going to put more attention on her upcoming projects, I'm all for it. Just don't get crazy with the stories. (Monday 30 March 2015; 20:52)

Christmas movie and Idina Menzel (51,244) by Ethan from United States I have a guts feeling that the reference that Mariah tagged Idina is perhaps that she might be involved in the new Christmas movie, which will be directed by Ratner inspired from Mariah's music. Mariah loves Christmas and with the momentum of Frozen, this movie might do very well. In addition, this is the first time Mariah has written a Christmas song for other female singers. She wrote "Where are you Christmas?" for Faith Hill. So I hope that Idina Menzel is involved in this Christmas movie and I actually don't think Mariah has a leading role but more like an unexpected supporting role. I think she shines in supporting roles and leaves the leading role to another actress. If this comes true, I think it'd be great. (Monday 30 March 2015; 20:41)

Mimi L. (51,242) by Jon from Netherlands Maybe you are right, but it's nice to see Mariah moving forward and seeing that the damage might have been temporary. It also seems like there is a little more substance here than with the other guy that only knew about gyms and making himself famous. (Monday 30 March 2015; 15:07)

Together, no (51,241) by Cgee54 from Usa Mariah and Brett in my opinion are not that serious about each other, if anything they're just giving the public the illusion of having something together. I'm glad Mariah is finally out and showing Nick Cannon that she can find someone as well. Do I see these two officially dating? No. (Monday 30 March 2015; 13:49)

Mariah and Brett Ratner is a no no (51,240) by MIAM from United Kingdom To all the people that think Mariah and Brett are getting together, please stop because that seriously is not going to happen. They are just good friends. For real get over it. (Monday 30 March 2015; 10:24)

Filming new music video and Christmas movie (51,239) by nikki from usa Brett and MC were vacationing in St. Maarten. Their birthdays are 1 day apart so they decided to celebrate them together since they've been working on new projects together. Brett called in to radio station 101.1 on the island and MC chimed in on their new projects together. A movie based off her hit Christmas song and a new music video. For anyone else interested Brett says Rush Hour 4 is underway soon. Happy anniversary MC. (Monday 30 March 2015; 5:01)

A pre-fame Mariah Carey hopes for "some success" (51,238) by Natalia from Argentina Guys have you seen this? (Monday 30 March 2015; 1:58)

Mariah and Brett (51,236) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I don't think it's a good idea. First and foremost, didn't Brett say before that MC is like a sister to him? Come on guys. Secondly (sorry Jon, I have to disagree) I don't think moving on so fast is a good thing. Getting over an ex fast is good, but moving on so fast, especially on to someone you have been so close to for years, in my opinion is bad, because one might confuse comfort for love. As in they might be vulnerable and might feel they are falling in love with the person who is comforting them at that moment. Thirdly I love Brett and he is really talented but I think MC needs to be with someone on her same level if not a little above her. Fourthly and I am regretting saying this and I hope people don't call me out for it but really Brett is looking pretty bad lately. What's up with the homeless look? You are a rich director. Fifth and most importantly, I wouldn't want Mariah to date a really close friend. There are many ways it might not last in the long run and that might cause a rift between the friendship these two individuals value so dearly. (Monday 30 March 2015; 1:47)

I like Ratner, big vote for him (51,235) by jaker20 from US I hope it's true. I never really liked Nick. I always thought he's a user, loser and social climber. Ratner is more within MC's alley. Surely he's more disciplined otherwise he won't be an accomplished filmmaker. They have also known each other for a long time. Nothing sweeter than ending up with a long time friend who was there through thick and thin. He's also within her age range but he actually looks young for his age. He's also kind of cute, if he loses weight. Nonetheless, he's still much better than a pretentious gym nut like Nick who goes to gym all the time and thinks he's all that. I think he will sort of put MC in her place, but not necessarily control her. If they end up together, it'll be good for MC in my opinion. It might be too soon, but something to think about in the future. (Monday 30 March 2015; 1:09)

Romance (51,234) by Jon from Netherlands I hope Mariah and Brett are together. Moving on this quickly is great. Sometimes the best love is found with someone you don't even think is your type. They seem to have fun together and it would be nicer to see Mariah with a maturer man instead of a childish self-absorbed idiot. (Monday 30 March 2015; 0:28)
