Nick Cannon dating Toni Braxton (47,957) by Ty from USA Let's hope this is gossip. (Tuesday 18 November 2014; 5:04)

Mariah's show (Nikki) (47,956) by TS from United States That is exactly the type of thing she should do. It would be up to her to decide what actions to take with certain singers/songwriters, which is exactly what her ill-fated American Idol experience did not provide. Also, I think if all went successful with it, she may be well received if she actually gets the people record-deal ready and out into the market that most of the current shows (I'm looking at Idol and The Voice) haven't done for simply ages. No shade to anyone's favorite winners to said shows, just trying to shed light on the situation. (Tuesday 18 November 2014; 2:52)

MC Emotions in New Z. (47,955) by nikki from usa As far as celebs go, MC is truly elusive. She's a recluse even during her prime she stayed at home. She's still not out and about unless she's promoting something. Mariah is the hermit diva. I would like to see her in the limelight more often, but is it the real reason that she's uncomfortable with it? I don't know why she doesn't have her own label at this point. It would save her a lot of hassles and she could efficiently promote her own albums. The invent of the internet would give her so much opportunity to distribute. I also think she should have her own show where she can mentor singer hopefuls and the point of the show is to earn (not win) a record deal. Focus on the journey rather than a contestant show. She can teach them how to sing and be a superstar. Mariah could help them to get over stage fright by making them bungee jump or something. It could be comical and entertaining. It would feature everything Mariah: actual talent, no judging, mentoring, and her life experience, while she shamelessly promotes her own music. I'd watch it. (Tuesday 18 November 2014; 0:29)

Moving on to better things regarding MC20 (47,954) by Travon..SweetSweetFantasy from USA Everyone is speculating on what could/should, what had/hadn't. I am shifting my focus on what is happening now and what is scheduled. [...] (Monday 17 November 2014; 23:04)

Fans bashing on Nick Cannon (47,952) by ADAM from USA I would agree with some of the fans on here that fans should not take to bashing Nick Cannon because MC is getting divorced. Both of them are adults and made the decision to get married and have children. Mission accomplished. Half of all marriages end in divorce and these 2 people were no different. Why must some fans destroys this guys image because they are no longer married? He's obviously not a monster if MC married him and eventually made him her baby's father. Please fans calm down and focus inward on your own lives. Life is hard enough as it is. Stop spreading the negativity and let these two entertainers move on in their personal and professional lives. At the end of the day, he will always be in her life because of the children they created and they need to get along and not resort to destroying each other's image, otherwise their children will inherit their mother's insecurities and view Nick as a bad father. So IMO, Mariah needs to keep quiet and let "Thristy" be the only public record of her feelings about Nick. (Monday 17 November 2014; 21:58)

Whatever it's not about Nick then (47,951) by Reuben Walton from United States Fine then it's not about Nick. I just think the rest of E=MC2 and MOAIA (other than Obsessed) could've been promoted/handled better. The whole thing with L.A. Reid not cooperating or whatever BS he was up to and the fact that MC fell so hard for Nick (of her own choice) as to virtually abandon promo for E=MC2. I know she gave so much of herself already in her career but whatever it's just my opinion, it could've done well to sustain her then one-album-deep comeback to at the very least just choose the right singles (whether it was her or others choosing them) like Migrate etc. where some of those songs would've kind of sold themselves if put before the public and pushed to radio with a halfway decent promo campaign. The Jump Smokers mix of Betcha Gon' Know could've also been a successful single. (Monday 17 November 2014; 21:29)

Re: Baby / Sweden (47,950) by nikki from usa First, you got a part confused. I was saying Mariah knew she could help Nick's career, not the other way around. Where did I get the idea that Mariah wanted someone to take care of and help? Mariah. She was the one in bed with him at the hospital feeding him. She hired him to direct her videos. Mariah's always described herself as the "caretaker" or "nurturer". In Cribs, Mariah described herself as a 'homemaker'. Women like that like to be needed. She's family oriented therefore she's a nurturer. Nick went on Big Boi before her birthday, but I think you're not noticing what an airhead he is. He'll brag about anything like a teenage boy. I think he has a massive ego and anyone dissing her, is still dissing him, because that's the mom he chose for his children. Nick goes through women and doesn't take breaks. No, I don't see him "studying" Mariah. Nick's father is a minister, he's always described himself as "a big kid", and does weird dress up. I can see why they fell for each other. You're right, his women are more successful than him, he has a thing for strong women. I don't think he really knows what love is, but is easily infatuated. In the future, I think he'll still gloat he was married to Mariah Carey and the fact she's the mother of his children. (Monday 17 November 2014; 21:15)

Nick the player / next album (47,949) by Abraham from USA Why are there postings about Nick? Of all people. The dude's been irrelevant ever since the split. Once a player, always a player. He got tired of Mariah and cheated. However, he isn't to blame for her career. Mariah could have still be on top and made great music like "TEOM". But she chose a different direction with "MOAIA", which to me, is her worst album, though I like "It's a wrap". But the album, no. Mariah did what she wanted to do. She could have gotten the best producers, but choose rappers. "MIAM" is a completely different album. One that I love, as I've stated many times. The reason Mariah's career went down wasn't because of Nick, it was because of her music. This album was a good start and return of the Mariah Carey I like. So I'm hoping the next is as good, or better, which I think it is. It's going to be a new beginning and chapter in Mariah's life. Musically, and a fresh start with someone new. She needs to bring it with a new single. And even if the first doesn't get anyone's attention then hopefully the second one will. I'm hoping everything will be perfect with the next album. Good title, album cover, music, videos, promotion. Many people hate on Mariah because of her success and talent, which is stupid. Also, people should know that the whole "diva" thing is all an act. And even if it wasn't, who cares? She's work her butt off. She deserves to act like one. Now that she's finished with the tour, we can look forward to the Christmas shows. I hope her voice sounds amazing. (Monday 17 November 2014; 21:04)

Reuben Walton / Nick / always remember (47,948) by Edward from USA I'm not a fan of Nick, he is childish and has diarrhea of the mouth, but does that mean he is a horrible monster? If we're going to start the blaming game, isn't he the man Mariah chose? She was a grown ass 38 year old woman when she married him after having dated for such a short period of time. They were happy, you had to be blind not to see how happy they were. It takes two to dance the tango, and I'm pretty sure Nick wasn't dancing it with a ghost. While Mariah has lyrically taken her shots at him, Nick has come forward and spoken highly of her when the media was labeling her as an unstable mother and a controlling bitch. Demonizing Nick as if Mariah was this helpless woman in shackles tied to her bed, being abused and tossed around by this horrible man, is ridiculous. Mariah stopped being Mary Poppins in 1997. Reuben Walton, isn't it ironic that the album (Memoirs) you love so much was much inspired by Nick? She released a wonderful Christmas album, and she had dem babies. I'm pretty sure Mariah doesn't regret one moment of it. (Monday 17 November 2014; 19:57)

Make it happen (47,947) by yiorgos from Germany , Berlin The "Make it happen" performance on the last show gave me life. She always makes it happen. (Monday 17 November 2014; 19:31)

Philipp / The Warning (47,946) by Edward from USA Philipp, I think that song is utter garbage, plain and simple. What a waste of time going in the studio for that. Mariah was evidently as high as a kite, so embarrassing. I never heard that song, and I wish I never had. (Monday 17 November 2014; 19:01)

Uncle Murda - The Warning feat. Mariah Carey (47,945) by Philipp from Switzerland Do you guys like this song? I just discovered it on YouTube and I've got to admit, I quite like it. (Monday 17 November 2014; 17:35)

The Elusive Chanteuse DVD (47,944) by Lainsky from Philippines Although she started a bit rough that has yielded not so good reviews, she silenced all her bashers and concluded the concert tour with a bang by giving great vocal performances from the middle till the end of the tour. Hopefully, IDJ will release a DVD like TAOM with all her great performances of the tracks she performed including the medley of those songs she rarely performs. Then it will be good if it will coincide with the re-release of MIAMTEC album with a few new tracks, which if they will do, would be better to release on Christmas day or a week before that with some promo singles, video and also in time for her Christmas mini-concert in NY.

(47,943) by NHYTG from nyc virgo. miss thanks for posting this review, I wish it would go around the world just as the Tokyo videos did but I don't think that will happen. Concerning Mariah publishing bad news seems to be more interesting than any good news, always has been like that, always will be. At least Mariah has proven us, her fans, that the voice is still there, I'm gratefull for that. And about Mariah following trends? I hope she will stay true to herself and will not get lost in a desperate hunt for chart-success. She has nothing to prove anymore and I wouldn't mind her having a career on a lower level from now on. To me it's most important that she feels happy in whatever she does and whatever music she makes. After Don't Explain and Lullaby I would't mind more jazzy songs or even a jazz album but MIAMTEC part 2 would be great to, we'll have to wait and see. (Monday 17 November 2014; 11:36)

Last concert of the tour (47,942) by virgo.miss from australia We went along to the A Day On The Green concert yesterday. It's an outdoor thing in a winery. We were right at the back because we opted for tickets in the private bar area rather than use the portaloos. Anyway, she really was fantastic. The sound was so good it you would almost think it was all lipped, but everytime she spoke she'd sing in this perfect voice just so everyone knew it was real. I went to the Gold Coast show on 1/1/13 and whilst she sounded good, she was 90 minutes late, only did 12 songs max and spent half the time changing frock. This time she was almost dead on time, did at least 20 songs and whilst she did change twice both times she was off less than 5 minutes. Last time was a bit of a shambles, this time, whilst simple, it was tight and professional. I can think of one obvious thing thats changed in Mariahs life in that time and I reckon it's for the best. Anyway, here is the review in our paper. (Monday 17 November 2014; 9:32)

Collabos (47,941) by Lee TS from USA Mariah's been pretty vocal about not hopping onto any trends and if she did EDM, that would be a total sellout and thirsty for that hit. I get we need Mariah to be played on the radio again but that's just not her. You would think Dupri and Cox has Mariah stuck but it's actually not true, at least not on MIAMTEC. MILG, YDKWTD, and Supernatural? Some of the best tracks in my opinion. I like Big Jim but there's something about him and Mariah that just doesn't gel for me, he's great for like a gospel type of track. The true duo I don't want Mariah working with ever again would be Tricky and The Dream, they're just no. But yes, Mariah should definitely try working with new people or old collaborators like Babyface, James Poyser, Jimmy Jam and Terry, and even Missy. (Monday 17 November 2014; 9:24)

Nick cost her 6 years, missed opportunities for singles, etc. (47,940) by Reuben Walton from United States The rest of E=MC2 unquestionably could have built off of TMB's momentum, Migrate, Side Effects, etc. and she certainly could've scored at least one more #1's with either Ribbon, MTJF, or 100%. 100% could've been another Hero, so many missed opportunities. MOAIA could've been a huge album. It's what made me really really fall in love with MC because it was so. damn. smooth. This album was so big for me. During my freshman year at UMass Lowell (2009-2010) I used to lie all cozy in my bed in my dorm room, stoned, with my amazing headphones and just immerse myself in its luxury. Mimi was a goddess for me here, as I have an immense and equal appreciation for both her artistry, melodies, and for the exquisite production which others called too samey, but I was in love from that album and still am. I really had always loved her music growing up but only in the last half decade did I really truly grasp the depth of her talents. (Monday 17 November 2014; 5:49)

Nikki and Thirsty (47,938) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Thirsty is in fact very vindictive. Why else would he be on Big Boy's tabloid show giving lip about his stareffing on Mariah's birthday? I mean, he couldn't have picked any other day to group his wife in with all the women he sexed, just because? It's not the false and negative rumours about Mariah that ping the alarm. It's how pristine Thirsty always comes across in those same stories. Thirsty is the real jumpoff, all the women he's bedded are more famous than he is, even after Mariah woke up and smelled the desperation disguised as her spiritual soulmate. Mariah doesn't realise how much personal information there is about her online and in her music. She writes her own songs for crying out loud. She might as well have published her diary in some cases. Thirsty just did his research and played the right beats. We all know Mariah is very spiritual, she makes it a point to write gospel influenced songs on every album since her debut. Mimi is fiercely protective of her inner child and is attracted to that quality in others. She's made a conscious habit of not being promiscuous. Unfortunately these and other personal things are public knowledge for anyone to use in order to get close to her. BTW, from where did you get the ludicrous idea that Mariah has always wanted a man to "help" and take care of? And how was Thirsty going to better her career in any way? He was supposed to be her husband and the father to her kids, not her manager. (Sunday 16 November 2014; 19:34)

EDM (47,937) by B from USA Mariah has always followed the latest trends. If she wants to score that elusive 19th #1, she needs to embrace EDM. Rhianna's We Found Love is R&B EDM (Urban EDM). I think Mariah should co write and co produce her next single with Clavin Harris. Her work with DJ/Producer David Morales resulted in some of the most iconic and critically acclaimed dance remixes (songs) of the 90's. She needs to cut ties with JD and Brian Michael Cox, their sound is stuck in 2005. I'm afraid if Mariah doesn't work with new collaborators she'll become irrelevant. Madonna has always followed trends and it always works because she doesn't try to be someone else (most of the time, anyways). As long as Mariah is involved in the writing and producing she'll make the transition successfully. What do you guys think? I'm not saying I want Mariah to make an EDM album, I just think she should make a couple Urban EDM songs for her next album. She should also stick to the retro soul, Motown throwback feel of her latest album. Mariah, like Bruno Mars, can make throwback music that sounds current and timeless. Happy Perez, Calvin Harris, Bruno Mars and The Smeezingtons are the songwriters and producers Mariah should collaborate with on her next album. Fingers crossed. (Sunday 16 November 2014; 18:07)

Make it happen live (47,936) by Ty from USA She ended the tour with a festive version of "Make it happen". Glad this tour ended with good energy, great vocals, dem babies and a partially new setlist. Hope faded, slipped away, and was mine again. I was all alone in love and love takes time will be a song again somewhere in the future. (Sunday 16 November 2014; 17:15)

Hero / Auckland NZ (47,935) by Edward from USA I really appreciate this raw performance of Hero in New Zealand. Mariah really went for it. (Sunday 16 November 2014; 15:41)

Lee TS / Mariah making pop music with Max Martin (47,933) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines I love Blank Space as well. I'll place 1989 as the best mainstream pop album this lackluster year, and the 2nd best overall release this year, behind MIAMTEC, of course. Now with Max, there's no denying the guy's a genius. From ...Baby One More Time which was released 16 years ago to Tay's Shake It Off, he clearly knows the signs of the times and how to make a hit record. However, I believe his success with Taylor is more because of Taylor's way with unpretentious lyricism and way with hooks that stick. Not all of Max's works are gold. Those he created with Katy, in particular, lean towards generic. So his brilliance is also dependent on the artist he works with, so his method can be mayhem in the hands of lesser artists. And since Mariah is both a great lyricist and composer, I have no doubt she and Max will create magic. She's very particular about what she wants when she's in the studio, so she's surely gonna be stubborn and stick with that and Max is gonna have to fit around that mold. I'm open to them collaborating just to hear what their creations would sound like, but I'd honestly be quite surprised if she did. I have this feeling she might see the move as "selling out", especially since Max has been one of the "it" producers for quite some time now. (Sunday 16 November 2014; 8:50)

Ty / Don't Forget About Us (47,932) by Marcus from Brazil Ty, what are you, a religious fanatic? That time Mariah got a papercut I'm pretty sure you thought it was stigmata. Get off your high horse, Mariah isn't Jesus, Oprah is, lol. Now focusing on something positive like "real fans" do, I'm loving the fact Mariah is looking more confident on stage. I love the "Don't Forget About Us" performance. (Sunday 16 November 2014; 4:52)

Marcus (47,931) by Ty from USA You all are in your feelings talking about rude. Real fans don't focus on the negative. They enjoy the music, enjoy the performances. Mariah is a mother now. For her to still produce an incredible cd and tour is showcasing her love. Now get off my back [censored]. (Sunday 16 November 2014; 2:12)

Ty / finally (47,930) by Marcus from Brazil Ty, when you feel like a post is personally affecting you that much, consider a Tylenol and a Dramamine. When I look at your posts, I breathe deep, and skip to the next one. See how easy it is? If I want to talk about lipsyncing, you could pretend your opinion is law and tell me not to do it 10,000 times, but that would still mean nothing to me. So, don't waste your time. State your opinion, respect others'. Be nice or leave, you can be pretty rude. (Sunday 16 November 2014; 2:05)
