Dabbing my eyes (89,521) by Brad from USA With spring pollen and allergies, I have frequent occasion to have to use eye drops and dab my eyes with a tissue afterwards. Now, thanks to our MC, I chuckle as I think what to do with the used tissue. Thanks for those little moments, MC. (Wednesday 8 May 2019; 18:51)

Re: Madonna's BBMA performance (89,516) (89,520) by Special K from USA Mariah looks half her age? You doing too much B. Mariah looks good but she don't look half her age. Boy you tried it. (Wednesday 8 May 2019; 17:34)

Re: Madonna's BBMA performance (89,514) (89,519) by Shezz from Pk I'm one of the first people to cringe when Mariah's girls are hanging out and when she does that ridiculous touching herself move a la "feel your body, feel your body". I think at the BBMAs Mariah came off classier than Madonna. To be honest, whenever Beyonce, Lady Gaga or JLo etc show too much skin it never looks that distasteful but somehow Mariah often crossed the line over to distasteful and too much. I still think Mariah did a fantastic job with her look and her overall performance at the BBMAs. If only her vocals had matched it - still came off well. (Wednesday 8 May 2019; 17:26)

Wise Janet quote (89,518) by Matty from Vancouver Canada I think Janet said it best when distinguishing Madonna's brand of "Sexy" from hers. "How do I put this? I think what I do has class to it. I'll say that." - Janet Jackson. Madonna's take on "sexy" and reviling has a very different execution and slant then Mariah, Janet, Toni, JLo etc. These four women aren't raunchy in any way. Madonna is queen of raunchy without any class. I'm not diminishing Madonna's impact or work, but we can't honestly compare Madonna flashing her crotch and dry humping her dancers to Mariah's cleavage. This isn't at all about age, this is about execution, class and brand of "sexy". Good for Madonna for still giving and her hustle, but her rolling around in a pirate Halloween costume just didn't do it for me despite the neat technology used during the performance.

Re: Madonna's BBMA performance (89,511) (89,516) by B from USA Too much plastic surgery (bad plastic surgery). Mariah looks half her age whereas Madonna looks her age. When was the last time Mariah wore a bikini on stage? (Wednesday 8 May 2019; 16:56)

Re: Madonna's BBMA performance (89,513) (89,515) by Special K from USA And what would that be sir? (Wednesday 8 May 2019; 16:10)

Re: Madonna's BBMA performance (89,508) (89,514) by Licia from USA So we're just going to act like Mariah isn't half way to grandma town still showing her ass and boobies to the world and you guys applaud the mess and don't find that offensive? You hypocrites are funny. Lol. (Wednesday 8 May 2019; 15:39)

Re: Madonna's BBMA performance (89,510) (89,513) by Andrew from London UK There's another name besides "grandmother" for people who have grandchildren in their thirties. (Wednesday 8 May 2019; 13:41)

Re: Madonna's BBMA performance (89,503) (89,512) by Special K from USA Age 50 or 60 there is I know a difference. It's just called sexism/ageism. I feel if you can wear it well, it doesn't matter your age. Folks need to get life. Give credit where credit is due. At 49, 50, whatever age she is, Mariah is still absolutely gorgeous. If she want to wear a bikini on stage, she can and the same goes for Madonna. Yeah, Madonna looks old and tired to me but if she wanna rock a bikini, go for it. Look at Toni Braxton, she's always half naked onstage during her concerts and she is I believe 51. (Wednesday 8 May 2019; 12:11)

Re: Madonna's BBMA performance (89,505) (89,511) by Special K from USA I am a huge Madonna fan but even I can admit that she looks old, tired and just plain weird. Look at Diana Ross. She is just simply stunning at 75. Image how Madonna is going to look at 75. Then again, that might not be a good idea. (Wednesday 8 May 2019; 11:56)

Re: Madonna's BBMA performance (89,504) (89,510) by Special K from USA You make a very valid point. The stereo typical image of what "grandmother" looks like has changed throughout the years. I don't know any grandmothers in their 20's however I do know a few who are in their early 40's (even late 30's) and please believe me, they are still hot and you would never believe that they have grandkids. These are different times. Now adays "big momma" has to have a life too so "hell no she won't be watching them grandbabies tonight". (Wednesday 8 May 2019; 11:47)

Re: Madonna's BBMA performance (89,505) (89,509) by Bill from the UK The thing is, no one really likes Madonna when the rubber hits the road. People just feel they have to lol. (Wednesday 8 May 2019; 10:47)

Re: Madonna's BBMA performance (89,498) (89,508) by B from USA Does Mariah showing skin upset you? (Wednesday 8 May 2019; 03:32)

Re: Madonna's BBMA performance (89,499) (89,507) by Edward from USA I agree with you. A donkey shouldn't laugh at a rabbit's ears. Mariah can have her boobs out at 50 because she's earned it, and she does it because it encourages young mothers to breastfeed their babies so they have good teeth and bones. (Wednesday 8 May 2019; 02:32)

Re: Madonna's BBMA performance (89,503) (89,506) by Edward from USA If it's Mariah half-naked with a tit out at 60, it's ok, how dare you being ageist? If it's Madonna, Beyonce or Lady Gaga, the wrath of the lambs is unleashed. Hypocrisy much. (Wednesday 8 May 2019; 02:22)

Re: Madonna's BBMA performance (89,504) (89,505) by Dove from United States I guess I meant someone who actually looks like a grandmother. Honestly it's not just that she looks so old. I wasn't that into her when she was younger either. (Wednesday 8 May 2019; 01:24)

Re: Madonna's BBMA performance (89,502) (89,504) by Victoria from USA In the world we live in now, a person in their twenties can be a grandmother. (Wednesday 8 May 2019; 00:41)

Re: Madonna's BBMA performance (89,502) (89,503) by TJ from Norway Most of my friends don't understand why Mariah need to wear bikinis on stage. I guess they have the same problem with Mariah, as others have with Madonna. 60 or 50? I don't see the difference. (Tuesday 7 May 2019; 21:07)

Re: Madonna's BBMA performance (89,498) (89,502) by Shezz from Pk Wow Webmaster. Take it a little easy on the Mimi supporters. As for what you said. Last I checked Madonna was 60 and not Mariah. And Madonna clearly had the more sexualized performance, Mariah's was anything but. (Tuesday 7 May 2019; 18:54)

State of her voice (89,501) by Jono from USA As fans we obviously all know that Mariah's voice now is nowhere near her voice in the 90s or even early 2000s. I have no doubt that Mariah herself knows this as well. Like, imagine having that kind of voice but then as the years go on slowly realizing you no longer have that kind of voice. I have a classically trained vocalist friend who is a casual Mariah fan, in that any performance she sees is via me lol. I sent her the BBMA Icon performance to get her thoughts, and she noted the amount of vocal damage that was present. When I told her Mariah was a coloratura soprano she was surprised, considering how low her speaking voice is. She then mentioned that those voice types tend to peak in their mid 20s; she specifically mentioned 23-26 range. Now we know that this means 93-96 Mariah, which is regularly seen as her vocally golden era. She says coloratura sopranos usually have short-lived careers because their voices just drastically decline, no matter how much you take care of it. I then told her about Mariah's sleeping schedule and habits and nodules, and she said they obviously don't help lol. Concerning nodules she said they're essentially the kiss of death for any vocalist; we know Mariah has a unique voice where they aided her in whistling. My friend thinks that's why her whistles are still intact compared to the rest of her range. I will say I have come to terms a long time ago that Mariah is working with what she's got. There are other artists from Mariah's era that don't even release music anymore or release so sparingly; or, are sadly no longer with us. So I appreciate whatever she has left to give, even if I'm not always a fan. She deserves her flowers. (Tuesday 7 May 2019; 18:38)

Re: Madonna's BBMA performance (89,498) (89,499) by Dove from United States Madonna. Hey, I've said before the TMB video makes me uncomfortable. Just saying, just because I don't like something doesn't mean other people have to not like it too. Different strokes for different folks. (Tuesday 7 May 2019; 18:33)

Re: Madonna's BBMA performance (89,497) (89,498) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands "For me what's off-putting is seeing someone old enough to be a grandmother being so sexual." Are you talking about Madonna or Mariah? (Tuesday 7 May 2019; 18:30)

Re: Madonna's BBMA performance (89,485) (89,497) by Dove from United States Madonna had the dancers, costumes, set, holograms, hottie, etc. It's obvious she invests a lot into putting on a show that will entertain us. I can appreciate that because not everyone does it. Being a performer is an art too. For me what's off-putting is seeing someone old enough to be a grandmother being so sexual. But I think that's just me because I'm kind of a prude. I used to like Madonna when I was a little girl but around the time Human Nature came out she was just too much for me.
