About Mirage from Unicornatopia: Mariah fan. Mariah Realist. Mariah Purist.

Re: Stephen from London (75,748) (75,782) by Mirage from Unicornatopia Thank you Special K. It has certainly been a while. I may submit the occasional post from now on. Love your pic btw. (Friday 26 May 2017; 21:10)

Re: Martyn who? He is not the only victim (75,740) (75,781) by Mirage from Unicornatopia Thank you Stacey. You are as classy as ever. (Friday 26 May 2017; 21:08)

Real or fake? (71,285) by Mirage from Unicornatopia I'm pretty sure Mariah's show is fake. There does not appear to be too much real about Mariah these days. Go back and watch any interview from the late 90s, and ask yourself if the mature 27-30 year old Mariah is the same person we see today? Yes, people grow, but the essance of who she felt she was seems like it is barely there any more. In the pictures of Mariah in London, her eyes look glazed. She does not answer questions in interviews anymore. She shades artists she does not need to. She can't have an adult conversation with any interviewer or the people around her. Mariah's World is a farce. We don't see the real Mariah at all, so it's pointless watching. A star of Mariah's calibre doing reality TV is so disgusting, and the Mariah of the late 90s would know that. The Mariah we see these days does not look like someone making her own decisions any more. (Sunday 15 January 2017; 11:29)

Mel B (71,205) by Mirage from Unicornatopia I would like for Mel B to comment on the vocal decline of her own voice. Oh wait, my bad. You need a voice to start with, don't you? (Thursday 12 January 2017; 21:24)

Re: Tomas Mottola (70,968) (70,988) by Mirage from Unicornatopia Completely agree. To ignore Tommy's success, and therefore invalidate his recent comments is a joke, especially when compared to the accomplishments, or lack thereof, of Stella. She is a thirst bucket, incapable of managing a star of Mariah's calibre. Tommy made many a star, not just Mariah. He even had the vision to see the appeal of The Fugees, who were massive in the mid 90s. People need to give credit where it was due. He saw Mariah's star potential, and when he realised how good she was at writing and producing he gave her the opportunity to showcase that to the world too, by becoming less reliant on others to create albums. Think of the amount of songwriters and producers on Daydream, and compare that to her recent efforts. It's no surprise that those albums sound more like Mariah people fell in love with.

Re: Basically (70,903) (70,914) by Mirage from Unicornatopia Tommy has a right to express an opinion, it's called the freedom of expression, so yes, he does have the right do make a point, as set out in the US constitution. Moreover, whether you like it or not, without Tommy we would never have had the version of Mariah we, and the rest of the world, fell in love with. It's safe to say that Mariah's decisions since leaving Tommy have been less than Stella. (Get the joke? Lol.) Mariah should be entering a phase of her career where she can do a Barbra Sreisand and release an album with no promotion and get to number one. Barbra is a prestiege act and acts as such. Meanwhile, Mariah is running around like a reality TV project. It's sad. Tommy may have been a bastard personally, but to deny him a right to speak when we have never heard his side of the story (in real terms), is simply ignorant. He earned his right when he pummelled serious cash into Mariah Carey and created a prestige brand that is now being destroyed. He has never said a bad word about Mariah publicly. If he is commenting on this, you can rest assured that things are very serious. (Friday 6 January 2017; 18:38)

Tommy has a point (70,867) by Mirage from Unicornatopia We all know Tommy is speaking the truth. The fact that he is even commenting is telling as to a) how bad Stella is, b) the fact that he genuinely believes something is wrong, and c) the fact that he clearly thinks Mariah is damaging a career that both he and she built. Tommy very rarely comments on Mariah, and was very complimentary of her in his book. If it was not Tommy, and was LA Reid making this statement, everyone would agree with what he has said. Say what you want about Tommy, but he is brilliant at what he does. I think we as Mariah fans may need to get a petition started to get rid of Stella. She is a disgusting, trashy, thirst bucket, and is not befitting of managing a pig in a travelling circus, let alone Mariah Carey. (Thursday 5 January 2017; 20:59)

Time to clean house (70,583) by Mirage from Unicornatopia For what feels like the millionth time in Mariah's career, I feel like she needs to clean house. However, the starting point is with Mariah this time. It's not enough to get rid of Stella and all the hangers on, but Mariah needs to go to rehab and centre herself again. She needs to find Mariah Carey. She looks lost in this world. She looks lost in Mariah's World. She looked lost on stage. Once she gets some perspective, she needs to get rid of Stella and hire a professional and effecive team. She needs a team capable of handling legends, similar to what Lionel Richie or Barbra Streisand has around them. Time to accept that you are a legends artist, rely on your back catalogue, and accept your age. Birthdays happen Mariah. People grow up. It's time you do the same. (Monday 2 January 2017; 1:11)

I'm so confused (70,551) by Mirage from Unicornatopia I am not supporting Mariah blindly at all, but I feel the need to genuinely ask the question, was this Mariah's fault? I actually have no idea. Is it something to do with the sound engineer, or is it all a masquerade? Mariah mumbles mid performance that there was no sound check, which is beyond stupid, and makes me call her culpability into question. You are performing for the world, make sure you do a sound check. That type of slackness is what's wrong with Mariah. I can't envisage Beyonce missing a sound check for a performance in front of the world. (Sunday 1 January 2017; 15:28)

Re: Fur coat? (70,355) (70,373) by Mirage from Unicornatopia I honestly do not think Mariah is aware of what is being written on that awful site. That is not to excuse her promoting fur, as ignorance is negligence. I really do not recognise the Mariah we see on the Mariahsworld website. It is disgusting, tacky and in no way focused on her fan base. Mariah is so out of touch with reality. For every interview in which she proclaims to be all about the music and a songwriter, she discredits herself with a reality show and a clickbait website. All Mariah wants is money. She has no interest in music. If she did, we would have heard her alleged "secret" album, or she would focus on making a good record. Instead, she is hanging off of the coattails of Lional Richie for some spare change, and is promoting large companies on a clickbait website. Mariah not only dresses like a prostitute, but is starting to show the integrity of one too. (Wednesday 28 December 2016; 2:15)

Is Mariah the "parasite"? (70,204) by Mirage from Unicornatopia I see a lot of posts referring to Stella or Anthony as "parasites", but in reality, these people only seem to be doing what Mariah wants them to do. In that new video, Mariah looks like she is trying to mix porno chic with Christmas, and it does not work. The Mariah's World website is a disgusting reminder of how out of touch Mariah is. Can we really blame all these decisions on other people? I think it's time people stopped referring to Mariah's staff as parasites, and perhaps viewed them as her staff. She is the president of Mariah Carey Inc, and thus their employer. None of the nonsense we have seen over the last two years gets done without Mariah's approval and indeed, input. She has a lot more control than people give her credit for. (Friday 23 December 2016; 2:29)

Mariah is a joke (67,655) by Mirage from Unicornatopia Mariah is becoming a Kardashian, and it is worrying. She is more known for her incredibly messy personal life than she is for her music. She is always the first to complain about how she is not given enough recognition as a songwriter and producer, yet she is the one distracting people from this with her shenanigans. She should be gearing up for Christmas, and getting her machine oiled for the festive season, but instead she is fielding questions about a failed relationship and preparing for a reality show. That kind of behaviour is more becoming of a Kardashian than a legendary singer, songwriter and producer. Get your act together Mariah. (Saturday 29 October 2016; 13:09)

Infamous review (66,850) by Mirage from Unicornatopia Bland. Sounds like it was produced and recorded on an iPhone. Mariah has probably produced farts with more energy and audience connectivity. (Thursday 29 September 2016; 22:22)

Re: New music (66,104) (66,127) by Mirage from Unicornatopia I agree with this. I would also just add that when Mariah writes, she needs to not overthink it. Simplicity is the key. Her talent stands out when she keepa it simple. The fans want a more honest Mariah. One they can admire. We don't need hoochie Mariah. Leave her in 2016 please. (Sunday 11 September 2016; 11:50)

Re: Will Mariah extend her Vegas residency? (65,822) (65,862) by Mirage from Unicornatopia Yes, it has boosted her profile Marissa. I hope she does another year of it. (Saturday 3 September 2016; 18:21)

Will Mariah extend her Vegas residency? (65,786) by Mirage from Unicornatopia Does anyone think Mariah will extend her Vegas residency? It would be great if she did, perhaps with a new show and single to accompany it. Vegas has done a lot to improve the public's perception of her talent, and her ability to perform. She is more natural on stage than she has been in some time. She also displays more show-womanship. It's good to see the voice do better too. Vegas has forced her to take care of the voice, I suspect. It is not at 90s quality, but credit where it is due, it is much better. (Thursday 1 September 2016; 21:14)

Nick (65,447) by Mirage from Unicornatopia Oh dear. Nick, it does not matter that having sex with Mariah to her music is true, Mariah did not want you to talk about her in this way because it is deeply private, and not something for public consumption. This is why I am glad she has divorced him. Honestly, you guys have the cheek to complain about Stella, but this thirst bucket of an ex husband was worse for Mariah than any Stella could ever be. (Saturday 20 August 2016; 2:01)

Re: Mariah is not a politician (64,156) (64,195) by Mirage from Unicornatopia Yes, and it's also the same Mariah wrote the lyrics "them chickens is ash and I'm lotion", and "I got a house in Capri and my own G4 and that Benz with the doors that lift up from the floor." A real humanitarian. (Monday 11 July 2016; 19:53)

Re: Mariah is not a politician - Mirage (64,157) (64,165) by Mirage from Unicornatopia Jade, I don't read all messages on here, so I did not choose to not read yours deliberately. My original message was in response to the large amount of posts directed at Mariah. Now, don't get me wrong, I would like if Mariah responded to recent atrocities, and actually helped to do something about them, but I don't believe she has to, nor do I think it's fair for people to expect her to. I mean, the POTUS has made repeated statements after mass shootings, race hate crimes etc, but all he has done is repeat the same rhetoric. He has not done a thing. Words are sometimes just words if they are words alone and not acted upon. (Monday 11 July 2016; 8:06)

Re: Mariah is not a politician (64,147) (64,153) by Mirage from Unicornatopia You're right, we all fell in love with Mariah due to her Maya Angelou meets JFK grasp of current affairs and political issues. My bad. I wish the Mariah of the 90s, who championed civil rights, and humanitarian causes would return. Who remembers that time Mariah stood up in London and protested against the war in Iraq, or the genecide in Kosovo. Oh, how I wish this Mariah would return. (Sunday 10 July 2016; 23:36)

Re: Mariah is not a politician (64,145) (64,152) by Mirage from Unicornatopia Jade, I did not read your post. (Sunday 10 July 2016; 23:28)

Mariah is not a politician (64,143) by Mirage from Unicornatopia She should not be expected to make statements about mass murders or race relations in America. Sure, she could make a statement, or post something on Twitter, but does that mean she cares? People retweet and post things all the time, but what do they actually do to advance their causes? Nothing. Yes, Mariah could do a Beyonce, and champion a cause per album, like a noble humanitarian, but how noble is it if it is just to sell albums? Ask the workers in Beyonce's sweat shop how they feel about her humanitarian efforts? They would probably tell you she's cool, but they would prefer more than $0.44 cents an hour. (Sunday 10 July 2016; 15:07)

New book (56,339) by Mirage from Unicornatopia I'm not mad at the idea of a Christmas book. I'd prefer that to a perfume or a HSN clothing line, not only because it is a bit classier, but it also feels more artistic for some reason. It's just another mechanism for Mariah to push her Christmas music and pass it on to a different generation, thus helping to secure her Christmas legacy for years to come. It's quite clever if you ask me. If Mariah is pushing her old music, via the updated Number 1's, Vegas and now through her Christmas music, perhaps that should tell her something. Shoving Infinity onto the end of the album makes no sense. It doesn't help to reconnect the audience. (Thursday 27 August 2015; 14:17)

Andrew (56,266) by Mirage from Unicornatopia The problem is that whenever Mariah or her people have come out and said where the music is going, they have always been inaccurate. How many times have we heard that a single or song is similar to Vision Of Love or Always Be My Baby? To only get the likes of Triumphant, which is irony personified as far as I am concerned. Mariah has sometimes been chasing popularity with her music, which is why she probably will not come out and state the intended direction of her music, because there is less conviction than there has been in the past. I am not sure she understands where she is going any more. The foolish thing is, Mariah has the talent to stand by her convictions. When it is done well, you can be very successful. Just take a look at Adele, who did not follow any trends or try to be current. She just did her thing, did it well, and reaped the rewards. Mariah needs to look at what made her the star she is, and do that in a modern way, without trying too hard. What we don't need is another The Art Of Letting Go, where Mariah incoherently [censored]. (Tuesday 25 August 2015; 15:05)

Mariah needs to take a step back (56,160) by Mirage from Unicornatopia Mariah needs to take a step back and really think about where she wants to go as an artist. Infinity is poor, and the remix feels like Mariah, French and Justin just vomited different segments of rubbish on the mic. It is utter nonsense, and indeed makes zero sense. What Mariah needs to do is reflect on where she is going as an artist. She is now at a point where she can either continue to chase that number 1 single, and try to do what's hot, or she can concentrate on making more mature music, reflective of her age and the fans that grew up with her. If she does the former, she will look pathetic and try hard IMO, but if she does the latter, she may actually regain respect, as well as old fans. Mariah should stop chasing new fans and focus on regaining old fans. It would be a more astute strategy. Working with Diane Warren is a step in the right direction, but Mariah should seriously think in a more strategic way. Vegas is helping to rebuild her reputation, and is reminding people why her back catalogue is so great, but she needs to capitalise on that and think about her overall direction more. Making a cohesive album, that strikes a cord with fans that grew up with her will not only sell more, but it probably stands a better chance of getting a surprise hit single. If it doesn't, who cares, as I am sure the music would be great. (Thursday 20 August 2015; 13:03)
