Random thoughts about aging and beauty (110,327) by Dove from United States Sorry, Edward. I'm just really bored sometimes. I'll think twice before I post something air-headed again. (Tuesday 5 August 2025; 01:33) this is a reply to message 110,323

Random thoughts about aging and beauty (110,323) by Edward from USA The things I see posted on this site daily make me want to scream into a pillow, but I hold back, because I just know some of you would turn around and say I'm being dramatic from watching too many Latin soap operas. Some of you speak with so much confidence, yet you're loud and wrong, and all I can do is sit there in stunned silence. The urge to jump in and reprimand a few of you is very real, but instead, I just let a couple of dramatic tears fall and softly whisper "Cry." like it's the final scene of "Marimar", my favorite "Telenovela" from the 90s. You all really need to stop shaming Mariah. Only a handful of men, maybe ten, tops, have ever had the honor of touching her boobs, and not a single one of them was a surgeon. A woman? Maybe, but I doubt it. We've all known for decades that the iconic lift her boobs have experienced comes from industrial-strength push-up bras she's been rocking since the Rainbow era. This isn't breaking news, duh. As for her face, it moves, just not in public. She's not risking getting caught in a bad angle, so she keeps it locked in diva mode anytime there's a camera around. Remember Mariah is multiracial, that little hint of Asian in her eyes is probably some distant Latin ancestor or something, we do have a little Asian ancestry in Latin America too. In short, she hasn't had any work done. That's just what jealousy looks like from the outside. (Monday 4 August 2025; 18:25)

Random thoughts about aging and beauty (110,325) by jaker20 from US Mariah always looks younger than her age. It's the mix-race genetics beauty in her. She always had great skin, teeth and hair. Particularly during the Charmbracelet era, her skin was so flawless, they're glowing. I always wondered why she never pursued skin care products merch. She would have been a great spokesperson. So while she obviously had done, it's not that huge of a change for her. The breasts sure. But for everything else she has a great base of natural beauty already, they're just touch ups, unlike for other celebrities. Personally if I had the money, I would too for as long as I can. Life is what you make it. Some people want to make us believe aging naturally make us happy. Maybe that's true for them, but that's not always true. We all touch up all the time, makeup, hair color, even high heels and clothes make us feel a different way. It's different for everyone. It does not necessarily mean they're looking or trying satisfy some pressure. I remember Rihanna and Taylor famously shut down reporters who assume them to be backhanded compliments.

Random thoughts about aging and beauty (110,314) by Dove from United States I was thinking about Mariah Carey and how she still looks really young. I'm approaching that age where women start "needing" to get injectables and I'm trying to decide what kind of woman I'm going to be. Then I started thinking about famous women who are choosing to age naturally. I saw some pictures of Pamela Anderson and I thought she was still really beautiful. Drew Barrymore, Alicia Keys, Kelly Clarkson, Alicia Silverstone. They're all still really beautiful. Then I thought, "They're lying to us, we don't need that stuff." Then I thought about Demi Moore and Mariah Carey who have had work done and they're really beautiful too, just in a different way. I think a big reason to want to look younger is if you're trying to attract a younger man. I feel like someone would still be attracted to an older woman who looks her age, though. Do all men prefer younger women? Pamela Anderson still got a man and he seems to really like her. I've always been okay with lasers and chemical peels but injectables kind of scare me because if they're not done right they can make a person look worse. I'm glad Mariah is looking her best for this era but it must be so much pressure. I wouldn't mind if she started aging after this era. Not that my opinion matters but I was thinking about how people notice famous people's (and everyone's) appearance. I think a person's personality has a lot to do with their beauty too. There are some celebrities (and regular people) who are so ugly on the inside that nothing could make them beautiful no matter how they look on the outside. (Monday 4 August 2025; 14:55)

Random thought (110,324) by MusicfanJ from Germany It could be a shield because of the insane fame all over the world since such a young age. But I would love to see more of the real Mariah (like in the past), she's the fascinating one not the diva. The image has become too big sometimes, but that's just how I feel. And I think her humour is underrated, I've always loved her humour. The "mop-song" was super funny. (Monday 4 August 2025; 19:26) this is a reply to message 110,310

Random thought (110,310) by jaker20 from US Mariah is actually really funny. I wished she'd done more comedies, she's always been hilarious. Also, there is a lot of talk here about Mariah's personality. I think that is just a character she created for herself to not feel stiffed by fame and celebrity. She created this over the top character as a survival mechanism. People can pick apart, criticize and even praise that persona, which she know everyone will as she's constantly in front of the camera. But she finds comfort in the fact that that's not really her, and she will never let us in to the real her. Alexa stream Mariah's "Outside". (Sunday 3 August 2025; 20:56)

Random thoughts about aging and beauty (110,319) by TJ from Norway If you're not blind, you can see it around her eyes. She got a hint of Asian now. She didn't have that in the early 90's. (Monday 4 August 2025; 17:10)

Random thoughts about aging and beauty (110,317) by Dove from United States For sure she had her breasts done. If you look at pictures from 20 years ago and today, there is no way her body would change that drastically with only diet and exercise. I wasn't shaming. (Monday 4 August 2025; 15:54)

Random thoughts about aging and beauty (110,320) by Zachariah from Croatia No, I am not being sarcastic or ignorant. From what I can see, breast are propocional to her weight. She is not super skinny when she was 20 but she looks super feminine and healthy, real curvy body. And yes, I don't see any changes in face in terms looking like as a cat lady or those sucked in cheeks like Demi Moore suddenly has. So yes, I don't see that.

Hero video (110,313) by Bobby A from United States If she continues with these great performances, we might get a Here For It All tour in 2026. I am down for it.

Hero video (110,307) by Dove from United States This person uploaded a few videos. I love the purple outfit with the silver boots the most. I like what's going on in the background with the stars. She sounds really good too. IMO. I'm a little jealous of the people who got to go to this. (Sunday 3 August 2025; 18:00)

Stop the nonsense (110,312) by Terna from Nigeria I just enjoy the fact that Mariah is healthy, happy and here for it all. While still inspired to make music and even go on tours and then there's the Christmas wave she rides evey year. I know you've seen those Mary J. Blige clips of late , seems like she's also over it too. Lol. Would rather be at home snuggled up watching Netflix. Haha. (Sunday 3 August 2025; 23:39) this is a reply to message 110,273

Stop the nonsense (110,273) by Dave from USA While at times, I agree that it does seem like the board can pile it on concerning Mariah, that's what the board is for to an extent. I don't feel like this is one of those times. There is a distinct different between the young girl in the (First Vision) VHS tape, singing her behind off to the heavens effortlessly and describing how she is so thrilled to see her song on Billboard at number 53, excited that it's even there versus who is standing there now, miming a song (badly), showing little to no effort/energy during the performance, and thinking the image is enough to offset whatever loss occurred with her amazing vocal gift. I don't think people would have any issue with the diva persona (if) she still had the vocal chops. As a fan, I'm torn between wanting her to continue to create music but not insulting my intelligence when it comes to not being able to even put on a decent baseline performance. There was a time when I was excited to see Mariah perform because I had no doubt she would knock it out of the park. Effortlessly. Now, sometimes I'm overly nervous to watch in real time for fear her miming is obvious or that her voice can't maneuver around the simplest of notes. I often read here first before I even watch it to see what I may encounter. Trust me, I get it. Back in 99/2000 I was looked at as one of the bad guys for pointing some things out about MC. I was mainly worried about the image more than the voice back then, and it took me years to admit that something has happened to her vocal gift. Literally years for me to accept what people were already starting to whisper back then. I want the best for MC. I'm sure all of us do. Like I mentioned before, she, like every other artist, is putting herself out there for the opinions/comments. We all aren't going to see eye to eye but we should at least respect each other's views or observations. (Thursday 31 July 2025; 23:31)

That time Mariah extended Whitney a sister diva helping hand (110,311) by Terna from Nigeria I heard this story, even back then. Glad Mariah looked out for Whitney and actually came through for her. I genuinely believe they became friends and stayed in touch even after "When You Believe" until Whitney's unfortunate demise. I have only truly been devastated by two celebrity deaths of stars whom I grew up with, and haven't been able to move on - Whitney Houston was the second, the first? Aaliyah.

That time Mariah extended Whitney a sister diva helping hand (110,285) by John from USA A little change of pace from the goings on in this site these past few days. In 2008, Whitney Houston went to perform for the president of Kazakhstan. Apparently, because of her vocal condition and her reputation in the industry at the time as an unreliable performer, she was unable to secure background singers for the gig. Her management company was also unable to obtain insurance for potential background singers for the gig. When Mariah Carey heard about this, she immediately bring it into action and offered to send three of her very best female background up singers to help Whitney. Whitney did not even have to ask. Mariah not only sent the ladies an across the world to help Whitney but she foot the bill for their insurance, travel, stay and rate. She sent Melanie, Maryanne and Teka. And y'all know vocalist don't play about sharing their background singers, haha. I couldn't find the YouTube video that originally mentioned this, but here's the link of part of that Kazakhstan concert. (Friday 1 August 2025; 23:04)

Pride and inner peace (110,309) by Zachariah from Croatia She holds a significant place in the hearts of many within the LGBTQ+ community - not just as a pop icon, but as a symbol of resilience, self-expression, and empowerment. As a straight man, I could not relate to that aspect but as a child of war, being tortured and held captive along with my parents back in early 90's in the Balkans, her lyrics and her music was a saving grace under a blanket in a shelter while bombs were falling around us. I think that's why I love Butterfly album more than any because it was the first album released after the war that I could enjoy in freedom. I am watching the Hero performance and my tears are just falling down my face. Such a beautiful moment. (Sunday 3 August 2025; 19:29)

Random thought (110,301) by TJ from Norway I'm sure some of you think I'm an old crow, but she should stick to what she knows, and that is music.

Random thought (110,304) by Lambi from USA Depends on the material. This will forever be Mariah's greatest acting stint. She's a natural comedian and so phenomenal with mimicking accents. She needs to get back to doing comedic skits. Her more serious roles could need a bit more polishing I agree, but she naturally shines in comedy. Did you see, "Allo, Christopher, you mek beard?"

Random thought (110,296) by Haiji from United States I was watching videos on YouTube and came across a clip of Mariah in the movie The Butler. So I went on a "Mariah acting" binge with her different roles and was reading some of the comments on how much people were really amazed and feeling her acting. Makes me think why couldn't she get a really good acting coach and really continue a serious acting career. If she ever decides on retiring from music, I'd love to see her in some serious roles. Can you imagine if she was to have a flourishing acting career like her music career? (Sunday 3 August 2025; 03:15)
