Mariah, she's on fire (49,226) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter MC looked so good on Ellen. Gorgeous, glamorous, confident and perfect. She really did look flawless. From the hair, makeup to the dress, everything was on point. I love how the dress is quite similar to the red version she wore on Ellen the last time she went there. MC looked half her age. The one with the hotel maid sketch was also perfection. I loved the hairstyle, something I haven't seen her do before and I loved how she was so playful and funny. This is why I love MC on Ellen. I think the best accessory MC had on was her gorgeous smile. In the past few months, I felt that eventhough she was smiling, it was not genuine because she was in a lot of pain. But she seems to have shaken it off. I am so happy for her. Oh and I loved how she said "ofcourse" when she was asked if she will party with Britney. (Friday 16 January 2015; 10:05)

Ellen / LV (49,224) by Dove from USA Mariah looked perfect on Ellen. She was happy, confident, and glowing. There is nothing I can add that hasn't already been said here. Her hair and make up was perfect. The color and cut of the dress were super flattering. Her mood was great. I feel like I'm dreaming. This new era is off to a great start. Using older pictures is fine because it's a retrospective concert. (And because I love that picture.) I am definitely going to see Mariah in Vegas because I believe a true fan supports their favorite artist's projects. I can feel that this residency is coming to us from a place of love and it's going to be amazing. She's been there for me my entire life (practically) and now I'm going to be there for her, today and always. Fans: if you can afford to go to this please do not miss it. Caesar's can still sell a lot of tickets to locals and casual fans who are in LV for other reasons but the real fans should be the ones experiencing the amazing-ness that's about to go down. Mariah I love you and I always will. I am shining my light on you and praying for your happiness. I know (because I can feel it) that these concerts will be as magical in real life as they are in my heart. (Friday 16 January 2015; 6:52)

Otti (49,223) by Abraham from USA I knew you would. This is the best she's looked since the "Beautiful" video. I think she looks like she's in her late 30's. (Friday 16 January 2015; 6:36)

#1s re-release and about Glitter (49,222) by Isabelle from USA I'm assuming that Mariah owns or co-owns her master recordings under Universal, reason that her name is next to copyright and sound-recording copyright symbol is with the label she is signed to. So she wouldn't really need Universal's approval to go ahead with this project. I really don't like the idea of other lamb's suggesting she should add demos of the songs or newly resung songs versions of her #1s because she done that with Hero. I want her to save her those demo versions or resung to her studio albums re-releases. The content in the album should be the 18 #1s with their music videos, her decision to keep or not the non-number ones hits from the first release along with the newly recorded music and have a documentary or commentary of her songs. I was looking around and found an article in NY Times about how Mariah basically received all 100% of profits that Glitter made by them paying her to dissolve their contract with her. It also says artist would no longer receive another dime from their music even if all investments are paid off that's why artist some money upfront when doing contracts. No wonder she never acknowledges that Glitter album. There could have also been re-recording restrictions. (Friday 16 January 2015; 3:26)

Mariah on Ellen (49,221) by Bill from the UK I loved loved loved the crowd's reaction to Mariah giving them tickets to her show. Still smiling from ear to ear now. I think this time in Vegas and the new #1's album is an absolutely fantastic way to celebrate such a wonderful and successful career. Well done Mariah. You worked so hard for this, went through so much, suffered both personally and professionally, yet you still shine and glow like the star that you are. I love you so much. (Friday 16 January 2015; 1:07)

Abraham (49,220) by Otti from Belgium I'm with you. Love to she her happy and looking beautiful. I can see it in her eyes, she is here to stay. (Friday 16 January 2015; 0:55)

She is back baby (49,219) by Otti from Belgium I really love the appearance on Ellen. She looks gorgeous. I love her hairdo while she was playing housekeeper. Nice to she her like I used to. And finally she does promo for her work. That's a good sign. (Thursday 15 January 2015; 23:54)

Slant Magazine / Juzmine Sullivan (49,218) by Billy from Greece In an interview with R&B singer-songwriter Juzmine Sullivan, the interviewer (Andrew Chan, also a fan of Whitney) poses this questions: "How much does the singer in you factor into the songwriting process? You listen to some of the other great female singer-songwriters in R&B, like Mariah Carey, and you imagine while they're writing a song, they're keeping in mind that moment when they can make that key change and hit the sweet spot in their range. Is that something you think about while writing?" Cool, right? (Thursday 15 January 2015; 23:49)

Redundant (49,217) by Randy from USA MC looked perfect on Ellen. Beautiful, radiant. Guys I don't hate Nick and I think the whole thing is sad. He may be immature but she likes that sort of thing. Who else was gonna be festive during holidays and anniversaries and such? Yes I was shocked by the marriage but there was a part of me rooting for them to work things out. I know she never wanted to raise children in a divorce situation. I hope we do get a #1s package with new songs. I would be very happy. I am not going to see her in Vegas however. I saw Charmbracelet and she struggled through the verses and lip synced the adlibs and high full voice belts. I refuse to travel and pay to sit through that again. But I wish her well and I am happy you guys are excited. (Thursday 15 January 2015; 23:40)

Glowing (49,216) by Jono from USA Mariah has always been gorgeous, no matter what size, but how incredible does she look? This is just the right amount of sexy without it being overdone, and she's in a dress but not a ridiculous evening gown. This is one of her best looks since she was on Idol over two years ago. And she looked quite happy and ready to move on from the missteps in 2014. Here's hoping that she has much better fortunes this year, and I'm sincerely hoping I can get tickets as one of the show dates will be on my birthday. (Thursday 15 January 2015; 23:31)

MC on Ellen (49,215) by Jay from USA I was only able to catch the first half on the interview (I had to sneak into the break room at work hehe). I wonder if Mariah has a new person on PR because they were playing clips from the Christmas concert and the clip she posted on instagram hitting the high notes. Kinda like, "let us remind the general public who Mariah is". I hope if she does have a new PR person, that they start counter attacking the negative press being put out there. (Thursday 15 January 2015; 22:40)

Opening night baby (49,214) by John john from UK I got opening night tickets next to the stage. I'm beyond happy. (Thursday 15 January 2015; 22:30)

Vegas and Mariah (49,213) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter While I was not really a fan of the idea of MC taking on Vegas at this point in her life, I will try and be supportive of her decision. I just hope that haters don't take this as her last stop before retiring. I was almost hoping for a completely new album on her 25th year and being selfish about wanting her to score a couple more number ones to get everyone in check, but ah well I see many lambs are happy with the decision so good for them. However why is MC still using her picture from 2008 E=MC2 shoot for profile pictures and on Ellen? Come on, she looks great now and if she is releasing an album, she should really not use old pictures. I need a new fabulous photoshoot. (Thursday 15 January 2015; 22:20)

Songs ownership (49,212) by Jay from USA I do believe Mariah said she was able to buy the songs from Sony during her interview on Oprah during the Charmbracelet era. I would love to hear all those songs again. (Thursday 15 January 2015; 22:06)

Vegas (49,211) by Stacey from USA I would hope Mariah would release a CD and DVD of her Vegas show. I attended Celine's Vegas show, and while a DVD is nothing compared to seeing it in person, I still love watching it on TV from time to time. Plus, it's nice to have a live version of the concert on a CD too. I am excited to hear MC revisit some older #1s. For me a absolute favorite #1 of mine is IDWC. I know it's not Mariah's favorite since I think she's only sang it once live on the Daydream tour. Still, it has a haunting melody that sticks. I hope she sings it again and does something different with it. Heck, with her marriage ending, the song might have more relevance now. (Thursday 15 January 2015; 21:57)

Mariah sans glove on Ellen (49,210) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End I noticed it right away. It made me smile, MC's doing great if she's comfortable in her own skin again enough to go without her trusted glove. That's been like her little crutch for more than a year now. Don't get me wrong, I think it was genius to make it a part of her ensembles (much like MJ did). Yeah, Mariah's gonna be alright, not that I ever doubled it but it's such a relief to see her looking like herself again, laughing it up, and her little French maid ploy for the lambs was hilarious. Caution, good times ahead. (Thursday 15 January 2015; 21:49)

Tickets are on sale now lambs (49,209) by Kyle from USA Just purchased my MiMi tickets. She is only scheduled, as of now, for May and July. Of course, ticket sales and demand may extend the residency. She is already selling good so get your tickets now. I am seeing her July 11. This will be my 4th time seeing her live and I cannot wait. (Thursday 15 January 2015; 18:33)

Mariah on Ellen (49,207) by Stacey from USA Wow, she looked great, polished, etc. Thank you to Eric for posting the clip. I hope someone will post the full interview later. I can't wait. I think the whole concept based around her #1 hits is perfect. What a way to celebrate her 25 years in the business. Can you believe it's been that long? Makes me feel old since I was 13 when Vision Of Love was released, lol. I'm sure some critics will say "well she's living in the past". So what? It's time Mariah owns her success and invites her fans who have supported her for 25 years to celebrate that with her. I live 6 hours away from Vegas. You sure can bet I'm going to try and see her. I can't wait. I think basing her Caesars residency around her 18 #1s is perfect. Back when Celine Dion retired for a few years, she released an album called "A Decade of Song". It included her most popular hits and 7 or so newly recorded songs. Mariah has so much material, she could even a double with 25 tracks on each CD. I doubt she'll do a double, but even if she only did one CD, she could do her 18 #1 hits plus add 7 new songs and do that. I honestly would love to see a 25 year album of all her remixes. Put together a tracklist of all the radio edits so you can include more songs like the rare Meme' Butterfly version. Either way, I am excited to see what she has up her sleeve. I am liking this post Nick Mariah. She looks more mature, more polished. It's time she owned her 40-ish age and prove to the people she belongs. She did that back in 2005 with TEOM and here she goes again. (Thursday 15 January 2015; 18:21)

Someday (49,206) by Mara from United States Hmm, I think if my memory serves me right, that Someday was a favorite song of Nick or her look in that video was, or something of that nature. Well, it also happens to be a non favorite of Mariah, hence her never performing it. But maybe now as karma should have it, she will perform it taking on a new meaning. (Thursday 15 January 2015; 18:11)

Ellen (49,205) by Abraham from USA I loved it. Mariah looks great. She practically looks just like she did in the "Beautiful" video. (Would you agree Otti?) I think Vegas will be successful as long as she sounds good. She seems happy and confident. I was thinking how cool would it be if Mariah released a new album, and she could sing new songs at her Vegas shows. I think that nice blue picture display on Ellen would make a great album cover. (Thursday 15 January 2015; 18:02)

New songs (49,203) by Jake from New Zealand "Revisiting these songs for the show, working on the updated compilation, and creating new music has really let me reconnect with my songs and I hope my fans will enjoy the experience." And "In celebration of Mariah’s groundbreaking record, and in tandem with the concert series, Mariah is working on a new edition of her worldwide best-selling album #1’s. Set to include all 18 of her number one hits, along with newly recorded music, the album will be released later this year." means new music, right? (Thursday 15 January 2015; 17:47)

Vegas (49,202) by Liz Archer from Sweden I wish I ould go the show with Mariah in Vegas and see it but unfortunately I can't afford it at the moment. (Thursday 15 January 2015; 17:28)

Sophia (49,201) by Mara from United States You wrote something in your post that really stuck out. I completely know what you mean about Mariah smiling and happy with a sense of pride. She was confident and it showed. You also said Vegas is for people who earned the right to be there. So true. She worked her a** off in this business for 25 years, and a catalog to back it up. She has two children under 4 and yeah she has nannies, but essentially is a single mother now. She is getting paid to stay in one place, come home to the same place each night to her kids, get paid a huge sum of money and keep her legacy going. How is that a loss? She is no wash up and people are in for a spectacular show and should be prepared for chills when they hear that voice live, and see her on stage. I don't care when people say Britney is the performer and some say M just sings. There are different levels of entertainment and there certainly is no shortage of choices if a "circus theme" is what they want. I don't mean that as an insult to Britney at all, just different. But Mariah doing the #1's as her headline sets her apart, even if a certain someone from the block heads to Vegas too. (Thursday 15 January 2015; 17:11)

Luis (49,200) by NHYTG from nyc I know that Universal owns three of these #1's but since 15 are owned bij Sony as well as the original #1's concept. I have a strong feeling this album will be a Sony release with "kind permission" of Universal to publish those three. But anyway, just my thoughts. More important I hope promotion will be huge including tv and radio adds. I can't wait. (Thursday 15 January 2015; 16:55)

Ellen (49,199) by Mara from United States Wow. She looks amazing. She is working hard and it is paying off. I knew this was where she was aiming with this residency. My post 49,004 I said she may set this around her number one songs and how this backs up her legacy and reminds them all what sets MC apart from those others. 2015 will be a great year for Mariah. I don't see Vegas hurting her at all, if anything I think it will remind people who she is. If her shows are anything close to her Beacon shows, people are in for a pleasant surprise. I would think she will have to rearrange the songs since this is a Mariah Carey catalog and singing these songs consecutively would be hard for anyone. But for a chance to hear her sing Someday, IDWC? I gotta figure out a way for a trip to Vegas. (Thursday 15 January 2015; 16:53)
