Re: Superbowl Halftime Show (92,733) (92,736) by Aliya from Canada I love your ideas Tijl, but I think to make the Superbowl performance good, there would have to have some movement at some point from Mariah. Maybe do the dance to Honey. Even though she is not a dancer, I think a dance from her would make it all come together, even if it's minimal. (Thursday 6 February 2020; 03:40)

Roddy Rich (92,735) by Bobby A from United States I can only imagine what MC could write with Roddy Rich. They could write an uptempo club banger like The Box. He is praised for his infectious hooks. I hope she has her eye on him this year to collaborate with along with Drake, Chris Brown and Future. She just needs one uptempo club banger to release as the first single. We don't need anymore fluff, promo singles, holdover singles, or messy ex-lover songs. Uptempo club banger first then a silky smooth ballad like Love Takes Time as the second single. I hope she has a plan for March through October. (Thursday 6 February 2020; 02:49)

Re: Ester Dean (92,687) (92,734) by Licia from USA I love Ester, but I don't think she and Mariah would work. Mariah can adapt to any sound , but I don't think Ester's sound is right for her. It would be interesting though. (Thursday 6 February 2020; 00:11)

Re: Superbowl Halftime Show (92,732) (92,733) by Tijl from Belgium The show becomes energetic by the pacing of the song list, pyrotechnics and background visuals. Mimi doesn't twerk, she sings. (Wednesday 5 February 2020; 16:00)

Re: Superbowl Halftime Show (92,731) (92,732) by Sarah from Netherlands Would be a great show. But not for something that calls for high energy like the Superbowl Halftime Show. (Wednesday 5 February 2020; 15:31)

Re: Superbowl Halftime Show (92,729) (92,731) by Tijl from Belgium Imagine this: 1. The show opens with Mimi emerging from beneath the stage with "I came to have a party." Booom. Fireworks and visual effects with "It's Like That". 2. Sequences into O.D.B. on screens and black Jeeps with dancers arriving on stage for "Fantasy". 3. The next up would be "Dreamlover" with "Juicy" mixed in as during "The Adventures of Mimi" tour. Mariah disappears from the stage shortly while the outro of "Up Out My Face" is played with a marching band and dancers entertaining the public. 4. "MIMI" signs emerge everywhere with "Shake It Off" followed by: 5. Helicopters and images of a tropical beach appear with the "Honey" Bad Boy Remix with Diddy, Mase and The Lox. 6. Followed by the "Heartbreaker Remix" with Missy and Da Bratt into the original "Heartbreaker" with a guest appearance of Jay-Z. Mariah gives a grand whistle finale while slowly decending into the stage. Everything fades to black. Screens count down from #19 to #1 followed by the intro of: 7. "Vision Of Love" wih Mariah teasing the audience during the bridge and bringing the house down in the finale. 8. "Hero" not my favourite but I think rather iconic even for the general public. 9. Grand finale with "We Belong Together". One can dream, no? (Wednesday 5 February 2020; 14:16)

Article: Mariah Carey claims ex-assistant destroyed evidence (92,730) by Dennis from Miami, FL I can't wait for this case to be closed. (Wednesday 5 February 2020; 10:45)

Re: Superbowl Halftime Show (92,726) (92,729) by We are Lambily from USA She actually does have that type of catalogue. So many uptempo songs, so many remixes and so many classic uplifting ballads to bring the country closer. A Super Bowl with Mariah ft Celine would be the most boring show ever. Mariah has enough star power and enough rapper friends to join her for the halftime. (Wednesday 5 February 2020; 09:34)

Re: Superbowl Halftime Show (92,726) (92,728) by Aliya from Canada I think the Superbowl halftime show is more for visual entertainment, dancing and performers with great stage presence. Less for amazing vocalists like Mariah Carey. That's why it would be great if she could perform the National Anthem again, at the Superbowl. That's where she would be appreciated and her vocals would be highlighted before the game begins. (Wednesday 5 February 2020; 03:59)

Superbowl Mariah (92,727) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Maybe from 1997-2008 would have been a great time for Mariah, as she was much more willing to get out of her comfort zone then, she was confident on stage, was much more mobile and far less awkward as a performer. The audience were also more receptive of her then, online life was less brutal, and the audience didn't expect too much visually. If Adele does it and pulls it off with minimal choreography then Mariah has a chance. (Wednesday 5 February 2020; 01:31)

Re: Superbowl Halftime Show (92,725) (92,726) by Musti from UK Now that's an interesting idea. Mariah doesn't have the type of catalogue that would do well on that show. But maybe with the right combination of artists, the halftime show doesn't need to have a bunch of uptempo songs. I mean, why not? They always stage a variation of the same damn thing every year anyway. (Tuesday 4 February 2020; 18:50)

Superbowl Halftime Show (92,725) by Malcolm from Asia The reality is that Mariah can't do the show jusy by herself, what I always imagined is she and Celine do it together. I think it will be amazing to see them both on that stage plus it won't hurt if they have a Whitney hologram at the end. Ballads but in a grandiose and classy way. Make it happen Jay Z.

Re: Roc Nation (92,720) (92,724) by RibbonB from USA Stop B. Are you trying to make her create the first debacle of the new decade? (Tuesday 4 February 2020; 11:07)

Re: Roc Nation (92,716) (92,723) by We are Lambily from USA Mariah would slay Super Bowl. 1. She is a household name (she brought 25+ millions viewers to NYE). 2. She has the catalogue. 3. If they let Justin Timberlake and Maroon 5 do it, then Mariah deserves a chance as well since theirs was literally the worst. 4. Mariah has done halftimes before and she killed it. 5. Aside from Michael Jackson, nobody comes close to her superstar status of all the people who have done it. 6. Imagine all the guests she could have. (Tuesday 4 February 2020; 09:35)

Re: Roc Nation (92,712) (92,722) by Nikki from usa She did. 2006. She performed Don't Forget About Us in a cheerleader uniform. Superbowl performances are usually mimed just like all other large scale outdoor venues. (Tuesday 4 February 2020; 07:25)

Best era for Superbowl (92,721) by Tyler from USA Mimi recently told Andy Cohen the Halftime Show would be too stressful, which I agree. The way her nerves get to her after the tree lighting and New Years it would be a deer in headlights moment. I then start to think which previous era should she had headline. I came to the conclusion that TEOM was a missed opportunity. At that point she had the catalog to do it and her stage presence was at its peak. With the dancing and liveliness of the set, Adventures of Mimi was her most entertaining concert. Butterfly and E=M2 were close runner ups. While daydream was her vocal peak, I think the show would of been boring as hell. Thoughts? (Tuesday 4 February 2020; 04:45)

Re: Roc Nation (92,716) (92,720) by B from USA She doesn't have to dance, she can run around the stage like she did at Live8. (Tuesday 4 February 2020; 02:37)

Re: Breakdown video (92,706) (92,719) by Dove from United States I remember in 9th grade I used to do my makeup exactly like the first picture with the gold eyeshadow all the way up to my eyebrows. (Not for school but for parties.) I wanted to be like MC so bad. (Tuesday 4 February 2020; 01:57)

Superbowl halftime show (92,718) by Dove from United States I watched for Shakira because I'm a fan but I actually thought the whole thing was good. Nobody can accuse Jennifer of not trying. She takes what she has and makes the most of it. I don't think it's necessary for Mariah to perform at the Superbowl. She's not really that type of artist and I don't think she wants to be. Her strengths lie more in songwriting, singing, and in making studio albums. Fans and future fans would like having visual content but she could just record her Vegas shows and use the best performances. And dig in the vault for hidden treasures from the past. What I really want from her right now is new albums, a few concert movies (a newer songs one and one with great performances from the past). And one or two more number ones please. (Tuesday 4 February 2020; 01:53)

It should have been Mariah and JLo (92,717) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Imagined Mariah and JLo performed for the halftime show. Mariah did all the ballads and vocals, and JLo did all the dancing, fireworks whatever. Two powerful divas in their own league. No hate. (Tuesday 4 February 2020; 01:35)

Re: Roc Nation (92,712) (92,716) by RibbonB from USA That would actually be boring for a huge scale show and audience like the Superbowl. Mimi doesn't dance and much of her music just isn't suited for that event, IMO. (Tuesday 4 February 2020; 00:20)

Re: Roc Nation (92,714) (92,715) by Tijl from Belgium Bill, indeed Mariah has made terrible sartorial choices but I don't remember seeing her poledancing or leading some sort of dancer "orgy". The Stella era was her worst in regard to outfits and general image but that FNL performance yesterday has shocked me, especially because in general people find it normal these days for female entertainers to behave in that way. Not a great example. Youngsters learn that acting explicitly slutty (I can not call this sexy or sensual) outshines proper talent and will make you a rich superstar. Mariah is no stranger to skimpy outfits but I have never found her vulgar in behavior. (Tuesday 4 February 2020; 00:11)

Re: Roc Nation (92,713) (92,714) by Bill from the UK Come on now, glass houses and all that. Mariah's had lots of questionable outfits and performances in her time. Thankfully she seems back on track now, but look no further than the nightmare era for all the "receipts". (Monday 3 February 2020; 22:30)

Re: Roc Nation (92,711) (92,713) by Tijl from Belgium Of course she can do it. It just requires proper preparation, a good stylist and decent vocal rest. Imagine a set-up as with that live rendition of "With You" on a grander scale. That performance was so classy. I found the J-Lo and Shakira show tacky as hell. They looked and acted as street hookers. (Monday 3 February 2020; 21:54)

Re: Roc Nation (92,711) (92,712) by B from USA If Mariah ever does a Superbowl halftime performance she should do a medley of her greatest hits with her just singing the first verse and chorus of each song except whatever song she closes the set with, on that song she should cut lose and go for it. She should do the same for the Brighton Pride performance. (Monday 3 February 2020; 21:02)
