Article: Mariah Carey wants $27M for her NYC penthouse triplex (113,568) by Jamie from UK This is quite worrying if true. That's Mariah's home and personal space. I'm surprised she's selling unless she needs too. (Friday 10 April 2026; 01:30)

Mariah in the studio? (113,567) by Shezz from Pk Bobby A you must be happy with the new Nostradamous rumour of MC being in the studio with JD again. I wonder what she's been working on. She's been rumoured to be in the studio with other producers as well. Just random sessions or is she working on a new album already? I'd rather it be HFIA Deluxe so we'll get to hear something sooner but I think she's let that go now. (Friday 10 April 2026; 01:29) this is a reply to message 113,562

Mariah is late (113,562) by Bobby A from United States Well, MC did show up to church on time on Easter Sunday to get that front row seat. Lol. I think she has gotten better about being on time since Daniel Moore has been her musical director. Is that a valid statement? (Thursday 9 April 2026; 04:42)

Article: Mariah Carey wants $27M for her NYC penthouse triplex (113,566) by MusicfanJ from Germany That was interesting to read. What do you all think about it? I still have MTV Cribs on VHS. Lol. When the penthouse is sold, where is her main living place? What do you think is a good place/city/region for her? The Hamptons, a small nice city or something else? I somehow always think L.A. is not the place for her to live for a primary residence. (Thursday 9 April 2026; 20:31)

Mariah is late (113,565) by Lighty from China I'm no Christian so I might be wrong but maybe it was just because no one at the church would wait for her to start? (Thursday 9 April 2026; 13:59) this is a reply to message 113,562

Randy's favorite MC song (113,563) by Bobby A from United States Since I am relocating back to Nashville this summer, I need a Right To Dream Chris Stapleton or Morgan Wallen version singing harmony with MC's vocals. Anyway, I felt relocating to Nashville would be better for me professionally. I can't wait to be back in my birth state to hear a waitress call me sugar plum or sweetie. Lol.

Mariah is late (113,561) by MusicfanJ from Germany The same for the Christmas concert 2018 in Berlin. But back then it really wasn't Mariah's fault. She was stuck in traffic caused of a factory fire. When she finally arrived, it was just wonderful. Everyone was having a good time. She did a great concert with a lot of Christmas spirit. (Wednesday 8 April 2026; 20:21)

Mariah is late (113,559) by MusicfanJ from Germany But for Mariah time doesn't exist. That may be a reason. Seriously I think she has a tendency to be late. Personally I don't like to be late, I always arrive early for an appointment. It makes me nervous and it's stressful to be late. To be early or on time is way better.

Mariah is late (113,558) by Jamie from UK Same for me, she was late to the Christmas light switch on at Westfield in London in 2009 by an hour. Whilst an hour isn't as long as some of her tardiness, it's still an hour out of people's time. I don't get it, you're booked for a certain time, your fans are waiting to see you, at least have the courtesy to show up on time. It's not diva, it's rude. (Wednesday 8 April 2026; 09:29)

Mariah is late (113,557) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands From my own experience I can say that the stories are not exaggerated. When I was at a signing in Amsterdam, she arrived almost 6 hours late. She missed a rol in a movie because she was late. They taped a guest appearance at a talent show late in the evening without public because she was late. And she never arrives in time for an interview. There are plenty more examples of her being late. (Tuesday 7 April 2026; 10:00)

Article: Eamonn Holmes stormed out of a Mariah Carey interview (113,556) by Nikki from usa I don't trust much of anything the Daily Mail has to say. Laying down might be normal for Mariah, but not doing them at all would be new. If she was up at 9 I have to wonder if she went to bed at 7am, as a night owl. I'd also need to know the time period, because Stella wasn't so good at keeping up with time changes. Mariah is known for tardiness, but I always question that too after my own experience with her. When I waited in line at the Mall of America in 2002 she was doing the Today Show. But, the signing wasn't until 6pm. Mariah actually made her rounds to a few radio stations that were begging her to stop by. It was cool to listen to. She did arrive an hour late to the signing. But, I could also see her outside signing autographs for fans when she arrived. It was rush hour - half the fans were late too. Anyway, the next day when journalists were reporting on the event - they said she was 3 hours late. It was reiterated by multiple writers from different publications. I was there - it was 1 hour. She began signing autographs just after 7. Which is why I always wonder how much exaggeration is going on about her tardiness. (Tuesday 7 April 2026; 04:28)

A full-throated defense of Glitter (113,554) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Too bad after Glitter she did not received any big budget movie offers. She would be good in rom com or action comedy. These are my rom com or action comedy that Mariah would be good at playing the lead character: 1. Miss Congeniality (2000) - She would be perfect playing a nerd FBI agent who turned into a beauty queen. 2. The Scorpion King (2002) - Mariah can play the sorceress Casandra (Kelly Hu). The Rock and Mariah in one action comedy movie together? Box office hit. 3. Fun With Dick and Jane (2005) - She would be perfect playing Jane. Oh come on, having Carrey and Carey as the perfect duo would make the movie a blockbuster. 4. Obsessed (2009) - Mariah can play the bitchy psycho Lisa (Ali Larter). Mariah and Beyonce as the leading women would make the movie a box office guarantee. Everyone wanted to see their epic fighting scene at the end. Her single Obsessed would become No 1 due to the success of this movie too. 5. Confessions of A Shopaholic (2009) - Mariah is good in playing herself as the lead character who is obsessed with shopping. Her fans and media would love this.

A full-throated defense of Glitter (113,550) by Lambi from USA Here are her words verbatim from this interview, I extracted it so you don't have to: I was so obsessed with my career ever since I can remember. I remember in seventh grade we each had to speak about what we wanted to be. I was a hideous mess then. I had shaved my eyebrows by accident, I had orange hair, I had three shirts that I rotated; it wasn't a pretty sight and it wasn't fun. But when they asked me, "What do you want to be?" I said, "I want to be a singer and an actress." We actually can just confirm it based on her actions. She did in fact pursue both singing and acting. (Sunday 5 April 2026; 15:03)

A full-throated defense of Glitter (113,551) by Bobby A from United States Lambi, is it true what Nostradamus is reporting that MC is planning multiple versions of Glitter including signed copies?

A full-throated defense of Glitter (113,547) by TJ from Norway I can't remember Mariah saying that she always wanted to act when she was growing up. I do remember reading interviews where she said that she didn't want to be an actress, and that singers/musicians should stick to what they knew, which was music. If this was after the release of Bodyguard or Evita, I can't recall. (Sunday 5 April 2026; 07:16)

A full-throated defense of Glitter (113,544) by Lambi from USA My acting coach said that for acting to be believable, the actor needs to have experienced the emotions, or at least been in close proximity to what they're trying to portray with their facial expressions. This is why Heath Ledger purposely isolated himself in a hotel room to develop the mindset of the Joker. He fully immersed himself in the psyche of his character. It's called method acting. I'd say Mariah did well in scenes that have everything to do with being a singer-songwriter. Finding out her song was on the radio for the first time. Getting more excited as the melody she's writing improves. These are all emotions she had already felt, and they came out naturally in the movie. But it was also sometimes inconsistent. For instance, she did really well lip syncing Don't Funk at that club when she was put on the spot by Dice, then did pretty poorly miming All My Life when she took over Sylk in the studio. The more family-oriented emotions, like seeing her movie mom on drugs and wandering the streets, probably came from similar feelings to dealing with Alison. Then there are the Tommy-related emotions required for Dice's tantrums and jealousy. When he called Da Brat fat ass, she might have drawn from emotions tied to when Tommy degraded Diddy. Her acting was very strong in that scene in my opinion. Then being physically threatened by Terrence Howard because Dice didn't pay 100k. Those reference emotions could connect to what she felt when Tommy put a knife to her cheek. I wouldn't say she was objectively bad, but a bit unseasoned. I don't think she was quite ready for a lead role just yet. I also felt like it needed better cinematography. I'd even argue better songs. Mariah has written such vivid songs. She quite literally paints a picture with her lyrics. This would have been the perfect opportunity to write another Underneath the Stars or Fourth of July, but instead we got the haunting, suicide-themed Twister, which felt awkwardly shoehorned into her mother's disappearance. It felt like, "whatever, we have to make use of the soundtrack, let's just put this here". Overall, the movie direction fell far short of her songwriting's standard. Mariah's always said all she wanted to be was a singer and an actress growing up. Actress being there is a pretty big deal. I'd say with the right material and once all the inhibitions are gone, she could be great. She's proven this with Precious. I'm not shutting down MC just yet in her acting pursuit. She's got a larger emotions palette just from what she went through the last 15 years, meaning there are plenty of inspirations to take from. (Sunday 5 April 2026; 00:40)

Honey (113,543) by Bill from the UK So my story with Honey was that I used to get the magazine Record Collector to mail order rare Mariah items (this was pre-Internet remember, kids). All you really had back then was eBay and I was too young to have an account. Anyway, I remember a shop listed a handful of MC items in their ad and saw "Honey (US promo CD)" and I was like (ellipses), what is this? I thought they had mistyped "Hero" and my dad was saying he doubted that was the case. I ended up calling the store and they said it was her new single. Well, I ordered it there and then for £10 (half of my day's wage back then from my Saturday job). I then glued myself to the radio all weekend, and lo and behold, it got played and I loved it and managed to tape it on my stereo (though they faded the song about midway through and went to the news which was annoying). The CD arrived a few days later and I remember being floored by the sepia cover with her hair flying around. It had the album version, Bad Boy Remix and two versions of the "Smooth" remix (one with the intro and one without). I was so grateful it also had the lyrics too. I played it non-stop and I remember one of my cousins saying "have you seen the video yet?" and not, but I thought the cover would have been a shot from the video and it would have been something by similar. So I parked myself in front of the TV for hours switching between MTV and VH1 every 5 minutes. Eventually, it appeared and I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I thought it was such a blast, and there was such a buzz about it at the time. Everyone at school was talking about it, mainly because her flesh coloured swim suit made it look like she was exiting the pool wearing her birthday suit. Great times. (Saturday 4 April 2026; 15:14)

A full-throated defense of Glitter (113,537) by TheButterflyReturns from United States I found it so gratifying to see "Loverboy" rocket up the charts from #60 to #2 after the fans turned out to buy the single and support our girl. Mariah and her team made a lot of mistakes with Glitter. I think "Wisegirls" should have been Mariah's first major film role rather than "Glitter". She was quite good in "Wisegirls" and definitely held her own with Mira Sorvino and Melora Walters. You could tell she was much more relaxed on that set than for "Glitter". "Glitter" turned out the way it did due to a number of factors. Number one, they veered away from Kate Lanier's script and relied a lot on improvisation during the filming. Number two, they should have picked a more seasoned director than Vondie Curtis-Hall - he had only directed one film before "Glitter" (Gridlock'd) and I think his style was not a match for what Mariah needed. A better choice would have been Brian Gibson, who did the Tina Turner biopic based on a script by Kate Lanier. Number three, Max Beesley was the wrong lead male actor to play Dice. He's a nice guy, but they should have picked someone with a higher profile. I don't think Terrence Howard was the right person either, but they needed a bigger name. Number four, the sabotage of the "Loverboy" single probably meant that they had to cut out footage featuring the "Firecracker" version in post-production because the song was her character's first big hit in the movie. The movie was delayed from early 2001 to Summer 2001 because of it, and that was before Mariah's personal struggles in July/August. They had to redo movie trailers and re-work the soundtrack album because of it. Whitney had it much easier with "The Bodyguard" than Mariah did with "Glitter". Whitney only wrote one song on that soundtrack, only recorded six of the 13 songs included, and had Kevin Costner as a director and co-lead right around the time of "Dances with Wolves". The film had already been in development since the 70s, while "Glitter" was something that Mariah worked closely on with Kate Lanier and others throughout the development process. Whitney did not have to work for "The Bodyguard" the way that Mariah did for "Glitter". Whitney was a decent actress, but I disagree that her acting in "The Bodyguard" is that much better than Mariah's in "Glitter". "Waiting to Exhale" was definitely a better showcase of Whitney's acting talents. (Friday 3 April 2026; 20:35)
