Re: Variety in print vs. video interview (91,040) (91,052) by Musti from UK I would love for this to be an audio book. She can do a print version if she must but her voice really gives more meaning to her story. Maybe she can include a set of butterfly earplugs. (Sunday 13 October 2019; 12:54)

RIAA certifications (91,051) by Horacio from United States Just in case this hasn't been discussed, on October 9th the RIAA certified/updated a lot of Mariah's singles and albums.

Re: Variety interview (91,048) (91,050) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada She will never give an answer about her voice that every person out there will find acceptable. It just won’t happen. There’s plenty of people out there who already say she “can’t sing anymore” and she’s already been called every name under the sun in the media. If she were to say something in her book about her voice honestly on her own terms, I really don’t see how it would be worse than what already gets said. She’s never going to please everybody.

Secondary career (91,049) by Warren from Trinidad & Tobago Clearly this lady can go into speech writing as a secondary career if singing doesn't work out. This is once again so amazing and so true and shows a completely different side of her and I'm glad some other big names were there to witness it. (Saturday 12 October 2019; 18:22)

Re: Variety interview (91,046) (91,048) by Chris from United States This would be a terrible idea. I mean, I would love to know and all, but it’s just not going to happen. She has already launched a few torpedoes at her career, and this wouldn’t make it any better. Can you imagine, Mariah can’t sing? Everybody would have a field day on her, and she’d never hear the end of it. Some things are just better off unsaid. (Saturday 12 October 2019; 17:17)

Variety luncheon speech (91,047) by Brad from USA Not sure I could be much more proud of her than now. Carey on Mariah and stay strong. God bless. (Saturday 12 October 2019; 05:01)

Re: Variety interview (91,042) (91,046) by Licia from USA I honestly don't think her voice will be a topic in the book. Like you said it would be great if she did though and it would put a stop all the wanna be vocal coaches and their assumptions if what's going on. (Saturday 12 October 2019; 00:41)

Variety luncheon (91,045) by Norman from USA She looked amazing. And she did the whole thing with Diane Warren. I know it's going to played off as a joke, but it doesn't play well on its face. (Friday 11 October 2019; 23:36)

Variety interview (91,044) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) I personally watched the video as I was too lazy to read the print article. I have to say I was pleased with the video interview she came across very well and gave great answers. (Friday 11 October 2019; 19:28)

Re: Variety interview (91,039) (91,043) by RibbonB from USA I doubt she discusses her voice. She may not even think there's an issue. (Friday 11 October 2019; 17:57)

Re: Variety interview (91,039) (91,042) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada I think it would be a positive thing for her to bring it up and talk about her voice more in depth. There have been snalk snippets her and there over the years. I guess at this point I don’t really expect it but it’s become such a heated issue in the past, it would be great if she did.

Book (91,041) by Dove from United States She should write an extended version with more juicy details that her grandkids can publish in the future after the non-disclosure agreements expire. I've read a lot of books about Marilyn Monroe but my favorite one was "My Story" because it's in her own words. The other books about her are all told by other people as far as I know. (Friday 11 October 2019; 16:27)

Re: Variety in print vs. video interview (91,036) (91,040) by Licia from USA The video interview was definitely better than the print. For some of the same reasons Randy pointed out, I hate the print. I couldn't understand why some of the stuff that was brought up for print. It wasn't needed. The video interview was everything. Y'all know I love Businessriah. I could sit and listen to her talk business and about the industry all day. (Friday 11 October 2019; 16:04)

Re: Variety interview (91,034) (91,039) by Licia from USA I'm one of those people who wants her to give us more than the standard stories in the book. I know there are moments that she can't talk about due to the legalities. I completely understand. The topic I won't be cool with her glossing over though is her vocal issues. I'm hoping that's a topic that she'll be open and transparent about. Of all the things I want to know, that's the most important to me. (Friday 11 October 2019; 15:55)

Re: About siblings (91,035) (91,038) by Edouard from France You're right. Great, great song. (Friday 11 October 2019; 02:00)

Re: Variety in print vs. video interview (91,036) (91,037) by Will from Australia Don't feel bad Randy I felt the exact same as you, as I read the print first and thought OMG she's back to being shady and nightmare era Mariah but when I watched the video, albeit edited, she came across much better and less... Crawford. As far as the book goes, I'm here for whatever she chooses to reveal once it's new information and not a repeat of all her interviews, we need the tea dahling. (Friday 11 October 2019; 01:16)

Variety in print vs. video interview (91,036) by Randy from USA Ok. So I just saw the video interview they did with MC on her Instagram and I loved everything she said and how she expressed herself. Someone here was right. In print, she doesn't read as well as when you can hear her talk. And she looked amazing. I almost feel bad for saying she's gonna end up like Joan Crawford. (Friday 11 October 2019; 00:24)

Re: About siblings (91,029) (91,035) by TJ from Norway I think more people should listen to Alanis Morissette's song "Hand in my pocket" and keep on walking. It would solve so many problems. I miss the 90's for so many reasons. (Thursday 10 October 2019; 22:33)

Re: Variety interview (91,031) (91,034) by RibbonB from USA Yes, because the interview may be more titillating than the actual book version. They need to hit it just right though. I get the impression that the book will focus more on her childhood and development of her career and I would suspect career highs and lows. She's mired in lawsuits and NDA's, so it's all touchy, lol. Not to mention that those blurred lines that I mentioned are that her Stella days are a landmine of contradictions if not out right hypocrisy on both sides. She has painted herself into a corner IMO.

Re: Variety interview (91,031) (91,033) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Like someone already mentioned about the book, no matter what she includes or doesn't include in it people somewhere will be unhappy with it, When she leaves stuff out she will be roasted for not being authentic, for being too insecure or too nice and if she complains, disses or gives details she'll be called an angry entitled bitter and selfish diva. I am glad I'm not famous lol. (Thursday 10 October 2019; 18:25)

Re: About siblings (91,029) (91,032) by MusicfanJ from Germany That's true. The energy vampires can be found everywhere (family and none). It's always good and healthier to stay away from such people. (Thursday 10 October 2019; 13:25)

Re: Variety interview (91,025) (91,031) by Musti from UK Yeah I'm also a bit skeptical as to how far she will go. I hope she doesn't half-ass it like most of her interviews. There's too much to tell. Even with the TM situation. She probably wouldn't have mentioned him in the Variety interview if it wasn't focused on #MeToo but no doubt there are still many details she's saving for the book. Sadly I don't think Stellar will make the cut. Too recent, too many legal barriers. Would be interesting if she takes her on though. (Thursday 10 October 2019; 13:07)

Re: Tic Tok AIWFCIY (91,027) (91,030) by Norman from USA Per this WSJ article about Mariah's Obsessed reentering the charts, Tiktok views don't count for the charts. It's obviously still highly influential these days, however. I mean, the song did get noticed again because of it. A nice challenge might be in order for it. I probably should have checked out the article section on the site here before commenting. The webmaster posted an article from Idolator where it states that TikTok views count. I'm not sure which article to believe, but there you have it. (Thursday 10 October 2019; 11:26)

Re: About siblings (91,028) (91,029) by Tijl from Belgium Givers have to set strict boundaries because takers have none. (Thursday 10 October 2019; 11:13)

Re: About siblings (91,024) (91,028) by TJ from Norway As long as people don't turn into "me-me-me" persons. Far too many people are that today. (Thursday 10 October 2019; 08:18)
