Re: Mariah and Ellen (90,751) (90,752) by Tijl from Belgium
Which visit to the Ellen show are You referring to? I don't think I have seen it.

Mariah and Ellen (90,751) by We are Lambily from USA
"I remember one segment where she tried to get Mariah to play a game and Mariah was being difficult and wouldn't answer the questions, that seemed to piss Ellen off."

I think we all remember that episode lol, Ellen was extremely rude, she started off the interview in such a negative way and talked about how Mariah is late, when it's been mentioned a few times, the truth is Ellen has never truly cared for Mariah, she only played it nice for the cameras, but if you truly love a person you don't bash them on live tv and talk about how she comes late and drag on it, that was the first time I have ever seen Ellen act like that, I think the entrance made her jealous or something.

What Ellen and apparently a few people here don't get is that's Mariah The Carey, a true living legend, that segment what so disrespectful and lame for a artist of her Caliber, if you meant the segment where she chooses between guys. I'm sorry but you don't ask the most successful female singer songwriter producer of all time that or anything remotely like that. Or the industry biggest hitmaker. I hate that interview and the truth is I have only watched it once.

Anyways everyone let's press delete on that era and focus on the future and #19.

Re: Genius interview (90,747) (90,748) by Chicago Lamb from USA
Yes, I loved the "lost" Rainbow interview. Held during a limo ride in NYC. She mentions Lisa Fisher here, among other great info. A must listen indeed.

Re: Genius interview (90,746) (90,747) by Bill from the UK
Yes, the Genius interview and the "lost" Rainbow interview are the types of interviews we as fans long for. That insight into her artistry and nuggets of information we never knew previously. We know she's a beauty school drop out and was forced into wearing turtle necks and long dresses 30 years ago. We don't need to hear it for the 4000th time. I really hope the memoirs are insightful and isn't just a vanity project with back door endorsements and name drops thrown all over the place.

Re: Genius interview (90,733) (90,746) by Licia from USA
I agree. That Genius interview was everything. I absolutely love when she lets the world know just how knowledgeable she is about the industry. She left Shaderiah and Divariah tied up in the basement and let Businessriah shine through and I loved every minute. That whole interview embodied what I wanted Mariah's World to be like with fun moments thrown in.

Re: Videos (90,732) (90,745) by Licia from USA
Lol I'm not wasting my time. Honestly though I think it's the Packer/Mariah/Banaka bullsh*t situation that has really kept me from watching the video. I don't even listen to the song anymore. I'm not getting into Infamous. I'd like to pretend none of it happened. Lol.

Re: Mariah and Ellen (90,726) (90,744) by Will from Australia
I've thought that for a long time Todd. Ellen is very dismissive of the diva behaviour Mariah would bring and it seemed like the producers had just booked Mariah and Ellen couldn't move along quick enough. I remember one segment where she tried to get Mariah to play a game and Mariah was being difficult and wouldn't answer the questions, that seemed to piss Ellen off. I'd rather Mariah just did the show when she had something to really talk to.

Re: Caution (90,738) (90,742) by Todd from Melbourne, Australia
I wonder that given most people would use Apple/Spotify or similar, how do these streams influence that number, if at all?

You are ever the optimist B, but that is sad.

Re: Caution (90,739) (90,740) by Tijl from Belgium
It is just another era. People hardly ever purchase physical copies of an album. Most just stream the particular songs they like and that is about it.

"Caution has now sold 115,000 copies in the US and 250,000 copies worldwide."

Wow, this is really something to be proud of. (And yes, I'm being sarcastic.)

Re: Caution (90,216) (90,738) by B from USA
Caution has now sold 115,000 copies in the US and 250,000 copies worldwide. It has remained on the R&B Album Sales chart since its release.

Re: Mariah and Ellen (90,730) (90,736) by RibbonB from USA
I was referring to "normal" TV show interviews, which as I said, she has hardly done since her involvement with Stella and her reality show and related "stunts".
(Sunday 1 September 2019; 15:10)
Re: Genius interview (90,733) (90,735) by B from USA
Agreed. She was articulate, engaging, and self-deprecating. Easily her best interview since 05/06.
(Sunday 1 September 2019; 15:06)
Re: Mariah and Ellen (90,726) (90,734) by 90sMariah from SG
Because Mariah never answers questions. Every time she gets asked a question, she always reverts to her long-winding, whispering-to-herself-while-covering-her-mouth rambles. She rambles a lot, and the personality that the lambs find endearing about her just doesn't translate well on TV and to the people watching at home. If I hear another reference to her 500-hour beauty school experience one more time... I can't, I just can't.

Genius interview (90,733) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City)
The genius interview is in my opinion one of Mariah’s best interviews of her entire career. Honestly the interviews for the Caution era as a whole were great.
(Sunday 1 September 2019; 14:48)
Re: Videos (90,729) (90,732) by Bill from the UK
Haha. I would say to watch I Don't so you can judge for yourself but considering everyone else has put it on their worst list, I'd feel bad sapping 3 and a half minutes from your life when you'd be better off watching Breakdown again and enjoying yourself.

I only watched half of Infamous before giving up. I suddenly realised Mariah was standing there in her lingerie so then switched out for the timeless classiness of Hero.

Re: Mariah and Ellen (90,726) (90,731) by Tijl from Belgium
I always had the impression that Ellen and Mariah got along rather well. Mariah has been to Ellen's birthday parties and such. Anyway, these shows are scripted and hardly ever spontanuous. Furthermore, it is the Ellen show and clearly Ellen has to be the funny one. It is all a bit boring in the end. I prefer the snippets with Andy Cohen to be honest. Less staged and more of a nighttime television vibe. As well, I guess Mariah is no longer pushed to do all of these interviews for publicity as she used to. I can imagine it becomes tedious to answer the same bullsh#t over and over. Watch her on the Genius interview. She is so funny, humble and real there because it is about her artistry and not some random hello - this is my new movie/ book/ album/ perfume/ other crap - goodbye and up to the next guest.

Re: Mariah and Ellen (90,727) (90,730) by Norman from USA
She was pretty damn good on her interviews for the Caution launch. And not just one. And that was 2018.
(Sunday 1 September 2019; 10:52)
Re: Videos (90,719) (90,729) by Licia from USA
Best videos:
1. Breakdown (I could write a book on everything I love about this song and video)
2. TMB (I love it because it's silly and fun)
3. Heartbreaker (that fight scene is everything)
4. Obsessed (Mariah as a dude will always be hilarious to me)
5. WBT
6. Fantasy

Worst/leased liked:
1. H.a.t.u. (Love Takes Time crap video part 2)
2. Love Takes Times
3. Crapfinity
4. I Want To Know What Love is (I could have made a better video with a $20 budget)
5. Boy (I Need You)

I wanted to put I Don't on my worst list, but I still haven't watched it. I've only seen 1 clip. I'm sure it sucked though. Lol.

MC jokes with Nick Jonas (90,728) by Bobby A from United States
MC doesn't joke on Twitter if she not hinting at something big. I hope she and Nick Jonas re-recorded AIWFCIS [sic] for the 25th anniversary release.
