Tanaka (104,703) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Y'all must really be trolling because when Stella was in charge of Mariah's business Mariah's image was down in the gutters. It took years for RocNation to build her back up to the legend status that she truly should have been all along. Stella really had her going around LA in her damn bodysuits and put her in a reality show that was a through and through mess. Also not y'all out here missing a thief who stole from Mariah. Bye. Mariah doesn't need Stella's chunky highlighter and cheap leather jackets in her world. I'd rather her not be "relevant". (Thursday 28 December 2023; 19:35) this is a reply to message 104,695

Tanaka (104,695) by Zachariah from Croatia I miss her too. When Stella was around, Mariah was everywhere and relevant in terms, people talked about her. (Thursday 28 December 2023; 11:15)

Tanaka (104,702) by Dennis from Miami, FL In case Mama Bear is not available, we've got Mishka. (Thursday 28 December 2023; 16:03) this is a reply to message 104,695

Tanaka (104,701) by Dennis from Miami, FL Who's Maria though? You may conjure Stella by leaving loads of highlighter, rouge and lipstick overnight near the chimney. It will lure Mama Bear. Vernite Stellu bleat. (Thursday 28 December 2023; 14:04) this is a reply to message 104,694

Tanaka (104,694) by Giovanni from USA I so miss Stella. Maria [sic] needs Stella. Bring back Stella. (Thursday 28 December 2023; 06:39)

We need an uptempo song (104,700) by Bobby A from United States Sitting here thinking that music this year was really boring. No one released anything exciting. For the first time in years, there was not a song of summer. I am hoping MC and Ariana Grande give us great uptempo jams for this summer.

We need an uptempo song (104,686) by MusicfanJ from Germany Cool response from Adele. I like her even more that she doesn't feel the need to do a trend for some kids. I get sick if I just hear the word Tik Tok. Lol. I hope Mariah will do her thing without that stupid app too. Good music is needed, nothing more. The best thing about a certain age and mature is that you don't have to follow all stupid trends. A grown-up is above those things. (Wednesday 27 December 2023; 15:54)

Tanaka (104,699) by Edward from USA There were also rumors that Mariah had said she wanted to be skinny like kids in Somalia. (Thursday 28 December 2023; 12:43) this is a reply to message 104,692

Tanaka (104,692) by Chris from United States So, weren't there some whispers about Tanaka having charges against him for some sort of scam he was trying to pull off, using Mariah's name? Whatever happened to all of that? Was that untrue? Did I miss something? Maybe this has something to do with that mess. (Thursday 28 December 2023; 05:10)

Tanaka (104,698) by Edward from USA Conturella, is that you? During your reign of terror Mariah made a full of herself. No, thank you. (Thursday 28 December 2023; 12:25) this is a reply to message 104,694

Mariah and Brenda (104,697) by Bobby A from United States I hope MC makes it to number #1 for another week and beats RATCT. It has been an interesting holiday season. (Thursday 28 December 2023; 11:31) this is a reply to message 104,690

Mariah and Brenda (104,690) by Edward from USA According to Talk of the Charts, "All I Want For Christmas Is You" and "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree" are once again in a dead heat for the number one on the next Hot 100 with Rockin' having a slight edge. Stream guys. (Thursday 28 December 2023; 01:50)

Tanaka (104,696) by Andrew from the UK You ought to retract the apology. You simply misspoke. Nobody thinks you are so "stupid" as to think *all* straight men want to procreate. But it is true to say that *generally speaking* men seek to have children by the time they are 40 - as male fertility begins to decline aged 40 and onwards. Similarly, women seek to have children by their early 30's for the same reason. There's rather a lot of literature on this. Whilst not all straight men want - or even have - children, respectfully, most do, else the global population would likely be in a rapid decline (something it is due to do within our lifetimes). So, whilst we will never know what ended the Tanaka relationship, the fact that he is more likely than not to want children, and that Mariah has likely gone through the menopause (or is doing so at the moment), is not a bad proposition. Don't kowtow to any person that calls you stupid. Stand up for yourself. (Unless it's me, of course.) It's certainly not you that has the Dunce Hat on this week. Can you guess who has?

Tanaka (104,679) by Bobby A from United States To everyone on the board and Eric, I apologize for my ignorant comments. I was out of line. Sometimes I am too analytical and I forget about the broader audience on the board. Please forgive me and don't hold it against me going into 2024. (Wednesday 27 December 2023; 10:53)

Tanaka (104,673) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Bryan released a statement confirming what we've all probably already knew at this point that they broke up. This was one of her longest relationship and even though at first I didn't ship them (I thought it was Stella's influence and also that Mariah was in a vulnerable state and needed that confidence boost of dating someone hot and young) but over the years they seemed really happy. I never saw Bryan try to use his relation with Mariah to be more relevant/famous. Their relation seemed quite strong because Stella tried to break them up but eventually got fired. The breakup probably happened earlier in the year because Mariah was saying last Christmas was a very bad time for her. Rumor is that they separated because Bryan wanted a family but Mariah didn't (and I don't blame her, her pregnancy was difficult and I'm sure her priorities are different as she already has 2 kids). (Tuesday 26 December 2023; 22:59)

More records fall (104,693) by Lady B from USA 93rd week at #1, an all time record. 3rd #1 song with 14+ weeks at #1, an all time record. Bravo. Sometimes I get the feeling people are numb to the all-time greatness in our presence, even on this board. (Thursday 28 December 2023; 05:56)

Tanaka (104,682) by BFF from United States Moving forward, I think Mariah needs to date people closer to her own age and who don't give off the "fanboy" vibes. This is the second time that a relationship with someone significantly younger than her hasn't worked out. Nick and Tanaka both always came off as very adolescent and starstruck about Mariah. Mariah needs someone to be an equal partner, not a fawning admirer. I'm not sure she would like a partner like that, but it's what we all need. It wasn't realistic for Tanaka to expect to have children with someone who is divorced with two pre-teen children in her early to mid 50s. They should have ended the relationship a while ago if that was an expectation. Tanaka is also 40 years old himself. I'm not sure I buy the "he wants kids" argument. Maybe Mariah just got bored? (Wednesday 27 December 2023; 14:01)

Tanaka (104,691) by Norman from USA Not the shade, Eric. I didn't have that on my bingo card, but go off. (Thursday 28 December 2023; 03:36) this is a reply to message 104,675

Tanaka (104,675) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands "No straight man is going to stay with a woman who has no desire to give him any children." This is the most stupid thing I've read in a long time. And that also includes messages from Andrew. (Wednesday 27 December 2023; 00:54)

Tanaka (104,689) by MusicfanJ from Germany Oh yes, I would love him too for Mariah if he wasn't married. It's sad that she has everything except a real loving partner. Bryan seemed like a good soul I hope they are both "fine". (Wednesday 27 December 2023; 17:26) this is a reply to message 104,685

Tanaka (104,685) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I agree with the ideally she should date someone closer to her age and some who is on the same or similar level of success as her. If Dwayne Johnson wasn't married haha he would be my top pick for Mariah. Dude is successful, good looking, her age range and adores Mariah. (Wednesday 27 December 2023; 15:37)

Tanaka (104,688) by Edward from USA Eric, why the shade towards Andrew when he didn't have anything to do with the post you were replying to? Just curious. (Wednesday 27 December 2023; 17:20) this is a reply to message 104,675

Tanaka (104,687) by MusicfanJ from Germany I completey agree. Great post. I don't buy the kids argument too. Mariah always said that after Roc and Monroe there will be no more children. So there must be something else. And yes, a real partner would be better than just an admirer. (Wednesday 27 December 2023; 17:12) this is a reply to message 104,682

We need an uptempo song (104,680) by Will from England To that I say look up Adele's response to the record company suggesting she should do a song for the TikTok audience. Mariah's older songs go viral on that app without pandering to them, so I don't think this is something she should focus on. She's happier maing music that she likes/wants to make, and if it goes viral, so be it. (Wednesday 27 December 2023; 11:55)

Tanaka (104,684) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The "she used him as a walking aide" took me out haha. Well I guess we can all sit and speculate but I wish them both the best. Hope Nick doesn't try to weasel his way in. (Wednesday 27 December 2023; 15:34) this is a reply to message 104,681

Tanaka (104,681) by Edward from USA She didn't hide it, but she never acknowledged it either. He was clearly into her and she probably loved having a good/sane man by her side for a change. A man like Tanaka would eventually want something deeper than playing house but Mariah wasn't into him like. He was always like a walking aide for her, at least that's the way we saw him all the time. He says they parted ways amicably which implies there wasn't a huge fight or any shady situation going on. I wish him well. (Wednesday 27 December 2023; 11:58)

We need an uptempo song (104,683) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I think we underestimate how much Mariah really cares about chart success. She definitely is chart hungry and that is evident from most of her interviews where she is talking about how many #1's she has had (and rightfully so). She's also hopping on TikTok trends not just herself but also with Kardashians so Adele's view on TikTok doesn't apply to her. Also when I suggested for her to use TikTok I didn't mean that should be her focus I meant she should do anything and everything necessary to get the song to #1. Exhibit A Taylor Swift releasing a gazillion remixes to get 1 week at #1. (Wednesday 27 December 2023; 15:32) this is a reply to message 104,680

Tanaka (104,677) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter While it's true Mariah never made any statements about their relation I don't think she hid it. She had posted cute couple photos of themselves together a lot on social media including Valentine's Day and other romantic stuff. So she never hid it. It could be that after 7 years together the relationship ran its course and they decided to split due to wanting different things in life. (Wednesday 27 December 2023; 01:46)
