Re: Mariah's Instagram picture lately (64,949) (65,002) by The Real Deal from USA I agree. I am hoping that this is part of some "social experiment" that MC and her team are concocting in conjunction with the reality show. I am hoping that it is a type of "What Would You Do" segment that Mariah is on in, seeing if anybody would reach out to help her. The reason that I say this is because in all of the recent interviews (and press conference), Mariah seems very composed and down to earth as she always has, and it is definitely not reflective of the photos that we have been seeing of her on IG drunk, wasted, etc. This may also go into conjunction with her former dancer's post a few months back where he congratulated Bryan Tanka on his "new role". Let's hope that's what this is. (Friday 5 August 2016; 20:14)

Another MC remake/cover song in the works? (65,001) by The Real Deal from USA The singer Lovari (who previously posted an MC acapella on his FB page) uploaded a post on Instagram last night singing If It's Over, with the following caption: "Late night acapella vocal moments getting my Mariah Carey on. New album preview lamb lambily @mariahcarey (with her IG hashtag)." I'm assuming he is remaking If It's Over. Or is it a secret collab with MC? I doubt that because I don't think he is that well known. Reagrdless, still cool to see a younger generation covering her tracks, especially ones that weren't singles. His ig is @Lovari_ (Friday 5 August 2016; 20:09)

The View (65,000) by RibbonB from USA It was funny to see the ladies of the View try to figure out why Mariah is doing this reality show. They played the clip. Only Raven was really excited to see the show. She doesn't care if it's a train wreck. The other ladies seemed a little or a lot concerned. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out. I hope it ends well for Mariah, all things considered. (Friday 5 August 2016; 19:56)

Mirrored chair, psychological projection? (64,999) by Haiji Toro from USA I can only think of these two quotes. I'm just so speechless, I couldn't even come up with my own words. "She wasn't being methodological. She was being autobiographical." Steven L. Carter "You painted a naked woman because you enjoyed looking at her, put a mirror in her hand and you called the painting 'Vanity', thus morally condemning the woman whose nakedness you had depicted for you own pleasure."

Re: WTF? (64,986) (64,998) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Her diva stuff is a caricature. For whatever reason she likes the image. (BTW not defending, nor judging her either, I just don't expect her to suddenly drop it, at least not anytime soon lol.) She clearly gets something out of the way she has chosen to project her image. She's aware it doesn't exactly make her "accessible" to the general public. If she was concerned about that, she wouldn't purposely draw attention to it and joke about it.

Re: WTF (64,991) (64,997) by Andrew from UK What bad message does it send? (Friday 5 August 2016; 18:32)

Re: Human chair (64,994) (64,996) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Hahah MC is just so "extra" sometimes. Like woman just stick to your regular velvet chaise lounge. While the press conference got great responses and Mariah's answers were pretty good and witty, I could do without the oiled men bringing her on stage. She has done this so many times in the past year, I just can't. (Friday 5 August 2016; 18:10)

Reality show (64,995) by Butterfly from Mariah denying it's a reality show cracks me up. You sold out. Deal with the consequences. Your manager is a reality tv producer and you signed a deal with Bunim/Murray. The series will follow Carey as she tours the United Kingdom, Europe and Africa while planning her wedding to James Packer, an Australian billionaire. But the singer made one thing clear: "I don't consider it reality," she said. Planning a wedding in front of the world like Kim K but it's not a reality show. (Friday 5 August 2016; 17:51)

Re: Human chair (64,993) (64,994) by RibbonB from USA Yeah I thought I read this and that M called them a human chair. It's just some over the top concept of luxury. I'm sure she will get lots of over the top reactions from the general public when they see it, if they see it. (Friday 5 August 2016; 17:18)

Re: WTF (64,991) (64,993) by RibbonB from USA I think she said they all represent a human sofa. This is the lady who is carried in on a chariot or whatever by her male subjects. The whole thing is over the top. The whole Complex cover makes her look like some kind of devilish dominatrix, but any racism is just subliminal if that. The seat may be a place of honor to her. Lol. Listen, this whole era needs to be decoded. (Friday 5 August 2016; 17:07)

Re: WTF (64,991) (64,992) by Licia from USA I didn't notice that he was black until you pointed it out. I was too busy trying to figure out why all of that was needed. Hopefully no sensitive person takes it to that level and makes it a bigger deal than it is. (Friday 5 August 2016; 16:47)

Re: WTF (64,991) by Natalia from Italy I never said that I thought Mariah was a racist. I just think it sends a bad message, that she is sitting on the black man. She may have nothing to do with it. It could have been choreographed by someone else. It is a subliminal message. Call me crazy if you want I don't care, I see it, and if you all don't then that is fine. I listen to what my heart tells me, it never steers me wrong. (Friday 5 August 2016; 15:47)

Re: WTF? (64,980) (64,990) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Honey, you are reading waaaaay too much into this. Relax a bit as you take a festive sip of bubbly. (Friday 5 August 2016; 11:55)

Re: WTF? (64,980) Mariah is part black (64,989) by Sheila from United States I'm not sure where all this bad energy comes from on this blog. Mariah Carey and her children are part black. Her ex-husband is black. Her father is part black. Do you people have nothing better to do than look for negatives? (Friday 5 August 2016; 11:46)

Re: WTF? (64,986) (64,988) by Licia from USA Exactly TJ. If I could thumbs up your post 30 times I would. Lol. (Friday 5 August 2016; 11:35)

Re: WTF? (64,980) (64,987) by Andrew from UK Don't be ridiculous. Mariah racist *towards* black people? Lol if anything she wanted to sit on him *because* he's black. Where have you been for the past two decades? Ridiculous. (Friday 5 August 2016; 11:14)

Re: WTF? (64,980) (64,986) by TJ from Norway No, I am not bothered about what colour the guy underneath her got, I'm more bothered about the concept and diva act. I was also concerned that someone would react that way when I first looked at the picture. After being a fan for 26 years I start to get a little bit fed up her diva talk and act. She can try to convince us that this is the real her and so on, but I don't believe it. She has done that before on so many topics, and then change her statement years later.

Re: WTF? (64,984) (64,985) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Bryan Tanaka is also half Japanese. So basically all of them (except for the one on the far right, whose face can't be seen) seems to be of different races. I don't think she's a racist in any way. Her best friend RaeRae is black, her ex-husband (with whom she was head over heels in love with) was black. Her inspirations (Whitney, Patti, Aretha, Diana) are black. Her favorite collaborator, Jermaine Dupri, is black. Her biggest fan, Wendy Williams, is also black. Haha ok sorry about the last part, no Mariah may be a lot of things, but I don't think she's a racist. (Friday 5 August 2016; 10:43)

Re: WTF? (64,980) (64,984) by lil star from untied states Let's calm down, clearly the one standing up in the middle is also African American, and the one with the tattoos is mixed. Also let's not forget Mariah herself is of mixed race. Let's not be dramatic and try to read into something not there just because it's a social hot topic. (Friday 5 August 2016; 5:47)

Re: WTF? (64,980) (64,983) by G.G. from USA So, Mariah can only (all caps) sit on white dancers? Otherwise she is racist? This is reaching. Let's not forget, Mariah is half black. (Friday 5 August 2016; 2:28)

Re: WTF? (64,980) (64,982) by Dustbin from USA Don't make a racial issue out of this. That's just silly. It's Mariah. (Friday 5 August 2016; 2:04)

Re: WTF? (64,980) (64,981) by RibbonB from USA Lol you might be reaching. He's her marble bench. (Friday 5 August 2016; 1:50)

WTF? (64,980) by Natalia from Italy Is anyone else bothered by the fact that she is sitting on the black male dancer as if he is a piece of furniture? Yet the white males are posing like statues. This just seems messed up to me. (Friday 5 August 2016; 1:25)

Re: NBC Universal Summer Press Tour (64,970) (64,979) by Licia from USA Yes I was on the Artic P. It was just weird. I tried to save Stella's children from her, but the broad kept flying back on the boat each time I pushed her over. James hid everytime he saw me, Mariah wouldn't stay out of my liquor stash or my bras, and the secret room door with the secret music always was locked. I tried picking the lock but my skills are rusty. I have no idea where Roc and Roe were. I think they were driving the boat. I missed you all too. Lol. (Thursday 4 August 2016; 23:39)

Will the real MC please step to the mic? (64,978) by Butterfly from Without the glitz, glamour, lies and disturbing personage. PS: It's a reality show boo. You're in a wedding dress planning a wedding. (Thursday 4 August 2016; 22:42)
