Re: Mid life and career crisis (62,768) (62,769) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter It does make her sound weird during interviews especially when she is adamant about it and will refuse to accept her age no matter how the interviewer tries to spin it. The whole "VOL came out when I was in the womb" is silly. Most people would be proud to admit that "I have been in the business for 25 years and I am still relevant and am considered an icon". Plus this whole "scared to accept she is growing older" will definitely affect Roc and Roe's perception too since they look up to her so much. (Saturday 28 May 2016; 15:20)

Re: Mid life and career crisis (62,749) (62,768) by BIGGEST MC FAN from UNITED STATES The eternally 12 thing is disturbing quite frankly. Like no, you're 46 and your children will soon be 12. You are not 12, Mimi. I mean we're all children at heart but I don't get why she keeps repeating this stuff in every interview. It's kind of cringeworthy. I'm actually starting to question if she's being serious when she says that. (Saturday 28 May 2016; 13:39)

Re: Lee Daniels (62,751) (62,767) by BIGGEST MC FAN from UNITED STATES I call my girl friends bitches all the time. He's a good friend of Mariah. Get a sense of humor. (Saturday 28 May 2016; 13:36)

Mariah's brand/image (62,766) by BIGGEST MC FAN from UNITED STATES One of the things that I don't like about Mariah is her tacky brand. Up until the Rainbow era, her style and image was flawless. She dressed great in public, her photoshoots were elegant, and music videos were elegant, etc. Then starting from the Rainbow era, she started cheapening her brand. That Rainbow album cover art is tragic and so cheap, the whole glitter and charmbraclet eras looked incredibly cheap as well. The music videos and how she dressed started to become tacky. Look at this for example. Tragic. The Emancipation era had quality though but everything after that is just incredibly tacky for someone like Mariah frikken Carey. Like look at this. And she did that duet with Bieber. So when people say stuff like "Mariah shouldn't be dressing like that" they're not saying that she shouldn't dress in a sexy way. They're saying she shouldn't dress like she's on the same budget as Azealia Banks. She should dress like she's worth half a billion dollars. (Saturday 28 May 2016; 13:35)

Re: Divas Live 1998 (62,762) (62,765) by Bill from the UK We're talking about it because it was brought up during Mariah's appearance on WWHL. Look at it this way, Divas Live 2030 is on and Mariah is front stage centre singing Hero. Ariana then starts, stands in front of her and starts screeching and warbling across her, whilst Beyonce hangs back and sings along with the backing singers. You'd all be baying for Ariana's blood and praising Beyonce. Mariah's voice was in fine form that night and she's said on numerous occassions that you simply don't try to outdo the queen of soul. Everybody else on stage got the memo, and knew this was Aretha's song and her moment, except Celine. (Saturday 28 May 2016; 13:14)

Re: Interesting article (62,752) (62,764) by MusicfanJ from Germany Oh no, it get's worse and worst. Packer met in the past people from Scientology. I hope it will not happen no more. Remember poor Katie Holmes. How can rich and famous people be so stupid to trust a sect? (Saturday 28 May 2016; 11:19)

Blind item about Mariah? (62,763) by Frappuccino from Australia This A+ list songstress is shooting an alternate ending to her reality show. She wants no part of the cult her soon to be husband escaped and is flirting with again. James Packer used to be in Scientology. (Saturday 28 May 2016; 10:32)

Divas Live 1998 (62,762) by darrian liu from taiwan Seriously, what's wrong with that? Why are people still talking about that? The important thing is that Mariah sounded great there and held up wonderfully against Aretha. Celine sounded really great too and it seems like Celine had a good time on that stage. Chain Of Fools was an iconic performance btw. (Saturday 28 May 2016; 7:57)

Re: Lee Daniels (62,751) (62,761) by Susana from USA The way I looked at their exchange, I don't think he meant Mariah is a b****, I think he meant it as a term of endearment just joking around and then I think it was like he and Mariah at the same time were basically calling him one for even suggesting that she's fragile. (Saturday 28 May 2016; 4:50)

Re: Celine, Patti, Aretha, and all that stuff (62,757) (62,760) by Mirage_Nunez from America I agree and disagree. First let me say I completely loved all the divas' voices on Natural Woman that night, they all brought a special flavor to their parts. I throughly enjoyed Celine and Aretha's back and forth towards the end both really shine and held their own. However, technically speaking Natural Woman is Aretha's signature song and it is kind of in bad taste to try to outsing someone on their song. Aretha and Celine were so busy competing that they didn't allow poor Carol King (the writer of the song) to sing one line. Now I don't care what anyone says that's sad on both their parts. I have to agree with Mariah you should revere the legends that came before you and at the same time they should show respect as well. My verdict is it's better to try to compliment each others voices rather than having a sing off. (Saturday 28 May 2016; 2:47)

Article: Mariah Carey leaves little to the imagination (62,759) by Ryan T from USA I love Mariah to death, but when is she going to realize she's not 20 anymore? I'm not saying she should dress like an old lady, but this is a bit much. Even when she posed in her bathing suit on her Instagram almost made me want to unfollow. (Saturday 28 May 2016; 2:44)

Re: Celine, Patti, Aretha, and all that stuff (62,757) (62,758) by Licia from USA Bravo Marissa and Stacey. I could not agree more. (Saturday 28 May 2016; 2:31)

Re: Celine, Patti, Aretha, and all that stuff (62,756) (62,757) by Marissa from USA I wholeheartedly agree. Since when is dimming your light for others to shine necessary to show respect? I really don't understand why people are so bothered by Celine giving her all at the Divas Live performance. Now if Aretha sounded hoarse or like she was struggling then maybe I would agree that she should have taken it easy on her, but Aretha was holding her own, so I don't find it inappropriate or disrespectful at all. We love Mariah. Wonderful. But I don't see the point in tearing Celine down to prove that or why a performance from 18 years ago is being scrutinized so intensely. (Saturday 28 May 2016; 1:43)

Celine, Patti, Aretha, and all that stuff (62,756) by Stacey from USA I can remain quiet no more on this subject. Celine trying to out sing Aretha? Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the 1998 show called Divas Live? I don't recall producers calling it the Aretha Franklin tribute. This whole notion that Celine was trying to upstage Aretha is ridiculous. Celine is successful just like the other divas on stage, so what's wrong in being allowed to show off for a moment during a song? Mariah had no issues doing it during Chain Of Fools. In fact, her and Aretha were battling for vocal supremacy during the final moments of song. I hear no complaints toward MC trying to outsing Aretha. Seems to me the issue is with Celine personally, masking the dislike for her or any other singer behind some silly upstaging argument. I don't understand pitting one artist against the other. I can like MC without putting Celine down and vice versa. I must be gifted in my ability to read messages about other singers without the need to criticize them, lol. (Saturday 28 May 2016; 1:23)

Celine (62,755) by Giovanni from USA Didn't smash anything on Natural Woman. It was clear she was "trying" to out shine everyone on stage, but she didn't. She had the stronger voice, but Mariah's voice is miles better. And like I said, she was lucky Patti wasn't there that night. The reason she didn't attend was because Aretha didn't want her there. Aretha has never liked anyone who can top her vocals or sing over her. Patti destroyed her with her "Ain't no way" cover tribute in '93. Aretha herself knew she had been slayed. But still to this day I can't understand why Gloria, Shania and Carole were there. None of them are divas or can sing. Can you imagine if Patti, Whitney or Barbra had been there. It would have been a diva show down haha. Lord that would have been epic. (Saturday 28 May 2016; 0:09)

Stella (62,754) by Giovanni from USA Is just using Mariah for her own personal pleasures. She wants Mariah's star power but she'll never have it. Why is she on "Mariah's world"? I've never seen a manger as much as Stella. (Friday 27 May 2016; 23:47)

Article: Mariah Carey leaves little to the imagination (62,753) by zee from lebanon This has Stella written all over it. They're starting to look alike. What a shame. (Friday 27 May 2016; 23:36)

Interesting article (62,752) by RibbonB from USA Webmaster I will just leave this right here, please post if you think it's appropriate, or post on your own without attaching to my name. Mariah is mentioned. (Friday 27 May 2016; 23:34)

Lee Daniels (62,751) by Giovanni from USA Is a total loser. What man calls another woman a b****. That was so disrespectful to Mariah. If I had been at the GLAAD awards I would have thrown my shoe at him. (Friday 27 May 2016; 23:33)

Re: Complain vs constructive criticism (62,733) (62,750) by radhames from Curacao This is exacly how I am feeling. And this whole Stella-hate is so annoying. (Friday 27 May 2016; 23:04)

Re: Mid life and career crisis (62,729) (62,749) by JAXGH from United States Parties and often hanging out with people much younger? Mariah loves kids as she has her own. Stella happens to have a best friend type of relationship with her daughter and there's nothing wrong with loving your friend's kid. Stella tags her along with everything, not Mariah. Drinking a lot and acting the fool? Mariah drinks but she's never too out of it and handles her business well, there's nothing major foolish she's really done so you're a little bit overreacting. A general blasé attitude to the God given talent and ability? Again, what are you on? She's not smoking crack all day getting high, she's performing better than ever in years. Her tour was incredible. And she wouldn't have lasted this long if she didn't take care of her voice. Acting younger at middle age than during the 20s and 30s? Mariah is eternally 12 and oblivious to age. This is not a brand new information to us lambs lol. She's always acted the same, the first 7 years she was confined so let her be. Wearing less and less clothing in public? She's been free as a butterfly since 1997. She's always dressed sexy and there's nothing wrong with it. She does not have one wrinkle on her body and frankly, you've got to flaunt it before it's gone. Check Beyonce, J. Lo and Madonna, it's part of the job. Your mind has this illusion that these are "problems" when in reality everything is fine. She didn't derail. She's relevant, she has offers, she has tours, she has movies, she has new music on the way. She's not broke or homeless, and she has things going for her. In fact, she's taking control of her career more than ever. Just accept her for who she is, let her have fun and enjoy the ride. Dahling. (Friday 27 May 2016; 20:14)

Re: Anthony (62,748) by Natalia from Italy To reply to the other points you made. Mariah has always been drinking and partying. The only thing new here, is that it is being shared to social media, when before it was kept private away from the public view. So what if she hangs out with younger people than her? She has always had parties with guest of all ages, younger and older. (Friday 27 May 2016; 18:01)

Article: Mariah Carey leaves little to the imagination (62,747) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Oh good Lord, Mariah why? Are those shades completely opaque and did she dress while wearing the shades? Because what else made her think it was a good fashion choice? This is in no way sexy. It's straight up trashy. Seriously with closets bigger than most people's apartment and the biggest designers as her friends, why would she wear this? Where on earth is her stylist? (Friday 27 May 2016; 17:43)

The ensembles dahling (62,746) by Lee TS from USA I am so out of the loop forgive me. But is our diva being the most there can be? She is so feeling herself and the outfits are getting more boobier haha. She is definitely loving the new body and James must be too. Mariah and that kick though, like can we talk? Lol must be fun times for the lambily with all these fun promos etc. Let's hear it for the girl. (Friday 27 May 2016; 17:39)

Re: Hallmark Channel deal: desperate or good business? (62,718) (62,745) by THE TRUTH from USA Andrew, just when I was starting to like you, you had to go invalidate yourself by disparaging Mariah's acting ability. The truth is that yes, Glitter was bad writing and an ill advided choice by she and her team but she was in fact brilliant in both WiseGirls and Precious. Career choices like Stella, Nick, Mariah's World, and Hallmark speak to her mental and emotional health not her ability as an actress. Your hateful vitriol makes me wonder about what your true agenda is. Are you trolling? Have a bone to pick with Mariah? Maybe get a hobby or something. Life is to short to waste your time hating just because you're mad, jealous or frustrated. (Friday 27 May 2016; 17:23)
