Alzheimer's (112,295) by Lighty from China I didn't say she definitely had Alzheimer's though, that was not my final conclusion. I'm not even close to being a doctor. In my original post I said not sure if her stiffness/forgetfulness is because of menopause or heavy meds (of bipolar?) or maybe those were early signs of Alzheimer's, etc. Just some speculations. I hope Mariah gets better medical treatments and I wish for her to be healthy, live long and prosper. And after this Christmas, no more tours for a long long time.

Dress (112,294) by Lambi from USA You're correct. She did mention they had a whole police escort to get the dress delivered just in time. But I wouldn't take that as a definitive sign of Alzheimer's. It's actually really common in the industry for costumes to be finished at the very last minute, sometimes even seconds before a show. If you asked her about the 2005 AMA performance, she could easily confirm that her dress was being sewn right up until showtime, because she was just performing by herself. But both hers and Whitney's dresses were both done by Vera Wang, so I can see why she might be mixing up which dress was late, because there's two of them that had to be styled. Truthfully though, I think Mariah wanted to have the better cut of the dress so she possibly asked the designer to edit it last minute. Again, no basis on this but it's just something I totally see her doing. (Friday 7 November 2025; 11:20)

Dress (112,290) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Was Mariah's dress really the one that arrived late? How do you remember that? The Memoirs? (Friday 7 November 2025; 01:04)

Dress (112,292) by Matty from Vancouver Canada Whitney's dress was the one that arrived late. Just like Diana Ross's for the Divas Live performance. Whitney and Diana have also told the same story. (Friday 7 November 2025; 02:15) this is a reply to message 112,290

Dress (112,291) by Edward from USA There's an interview from about seven years ago on MTV TRL where she talks about working with Whitney, and they mention the whole dress situation. She says she isn't sure whether it was her dress or Whitney's that arrived late, and someone on her team reminds her it was hers. In that interview she's completely present and articulate, she was promoting "Caution" at the time, so I don't think her not remembering that detail recently has anything to do with Alzheimer's or her meds. It just seems like one of those things she genuinely forgets whenever it comes up. (Friday 7 November 2025; 02:08) this is a reply to message 112,290

The arrogance (112,272) by Lighty from China Well, the 2024-2025 Mariah Carey is stiff on stage. She said she had to do the Christmas residency because (her) people booked it. She didn't know Katy Perry went to space. She frequently forgets what specific word to use in recent interviews. She said in the JHud show that Whitney's dress was late for the VMAs but actually it was her own dress that almost didn't make it. She doesn't even remember her own lyrics and relies on multiple teleprompters on stage. Not really sure if it's because of menopause or the alleged heavy medication or early signs of Alzheimer's but do you really expect "this" Mariah to Google things herself? Her team is the one to blame. (Thursday 6 November 2025; 11:43)

Alzheimer's (112,289) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain I agree with you and Joachim as well. It seems like either she doesn't really care at all how she's being seen, or she's not actually aware of it (although I highly doubt it, sung a la "Play This Song" jejeje). There are some hints here and there in the interviews that indicate that her head is not clear and her mind is kind of slow. (Friday 7 November 2025; 00:57) this is a reply to message 112,288

Alzheimer's (112,288) by Edward from USA I don't think it's Alzheimer's, it seems more likely to be the effects of her bipolar meds. What's troubling to me is that no one in her circle seems willing to say, "Hey girl, something seems off. You look sedated on stage, maybe talk to your doctor about adjusting your meds." On "Nothing Is Impossible", she sings: "Seemed like I'd never rise again, surely I couldn't find a friend." Those two lines confirm something I've always felt, that Mariah doesn't really have people around her who can be both supportive and honest, a true friend who could tell her hard truths because they care. Instead, it seems like she's surrounded by cheerleaders and "yass queens" who are more worried about staying in her good graces and keeping their checks rolling in rather than actually looking out for her well-being.

The arrogance (112,281) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway This has been my concern for a long time now, I actually think Mariah is in the early stages of Alzheimer's. It can happen this young, and if this is the case, we really need to appreciate her while we still got her, in some years, she probably will be held back from the public eye, like Bruce Willis. Of course, this is only speculations, but the signs are there. (Thursday 6 November 2025; 17:52)

Don't take it political (112,287) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands I think enough has now been said about the new "It's Time" video and the political backlash it's generating. This discussion gets out of hand, resulting in swearing and other unwanted behavior. That's why I've decided to stop posting on this topic. (Thursday 6 November 2025; 21:06)

Don't take it political (112,286) by TJ from Norway Enjoy the music, but criticize some of her choices. I say the same about MJ. I love his music, but I don't stand by some of the things he has done. We must separate the art from the person. (Thursday 6 November 2025; 20:56) this is a reply to message 112,277

Don't take it political (112,277) by Lara from Middle East It's not a trend, it's not someone dictating which flag to display on social media. Geronimo makes lot of correct points and I agree with a lot of them, specially coming from the region that is directly hurt from this genocidal entity. But also no need to take it that deep. Enjoy the music and pray for an awakening. Meanwhile I'll enjoy the drone over my head. (Thursday 6 November 2025; 15:53)

The arrogance (112,275) by Libra Lamb from USA That's exactly what's one would expect you guys to say when presented with a factual argument or statement. Just brush it off and call people names. People will see whatever they want to see and nothing more. Empathy is lost on some of y'all. Some of us care about complete strangers and people suffering at the hands of those in power. You can acknowledge that or not, it doesn't change the facts. Also, no one said "let's cancel Mariah" but some of you are acting like she can do no wrong and somehow is the victim here. Pointing out her tone deafness is far from yelling for her to be cancelled. Drama queens alert. Good luck with that. (Thursday 6 November 2025; 15:32)

Promo video (112,284) by Dave from USA I will never understand how any other celebrity can have a product, business, or hustle where they are seen as an amazing businessman/businesswoman, yet the moment Mariah Carey does it, she is just greedy for money or insensitive to this or that. This is the same thing she does every year for her brand at Christmas, and there are actual people going out of their way to be offended by a video announcing the start of the holiday season. I'm not sure how it is now Mariah Carey that ruined lives and created the environment in our country where people are going through hard times. All this is completely ridiculous. (Thursday 6 November 2025; 18:06)

Don't take it political (112,283) by BFF from United States Yeah, and do the people of your "region" have anything to say about the treatment of women and LGBT people? As much as I disagree with Israel's actions and the US government's financial support of Israel, I think the countries surrounding Israel are guilty of very similar human rights abuses (or worse) against their own populations. Over 90 percent of Palestinians believe that gay people should be thrown in prison and/or put to death. Sorry, but as a gay man, I will not go out of my way to "support" the human rights of people who think I should be executed or imprisoned for simply existing.

The arrogance (112,282) by Bill from the UK They were referring to the “It’s Time” video, not the Israel and Palestine situation.

Mariah's It's Time video (112,276) by Libra Lamb from USA Standing up for the right thing is hardly a trend. It comes from within in those who see the need for it and not to those that don't. Guess that speaks to your lack of empathy. Here in America people will literally die because of decisions made by one pero son or party.

Mariah's It's Time video (112,262) by Jamie from London, UK I personally don't see a problem with it. If people don't like it, don't pay any attention to it, don't watch it. Why is there a permanent need for people to feel offended or upset by everything nowadays? It really is a tiresome trend. In a world where everything is a gripe or a moan it makes it hard to hear the real problems amongst the cacophony of whining snowflakes wanting to cancel some poor individual for some triviality. Is Mariah socially tone deaf? Perhaps she is, that said at the end of the day, it's her prerogative. She's worked hard to afford herself the lifestyle she lives and if she want's to flaunt it, it's absolutely her right to do so. It might alienate her from some people, understandably, if you feel that way (as you are entitled to) tune out quietly and don't support her. As the old adage goes, "you can't please everyone, all the time", a quote that is more true now than ever before. (Wednesday 5 November 2025; 11:52)

The arrogance (112,268) by Geronimo from USA You seem to be attempting to miss the point in public on purpose. Standing up for what is right is non-negotiable - especially when the public is bringing your betrayal to your attention while you try to hustle religious songs at Christmas about love, joy, and peace. If she had any foresight at all, she might want to consider canceling her Christmas charade this year - especially since her latest album stands as a very public statement regarding the difference between what is happening on stage and what audiences will be hearing. Entertainment is all fine and good. But, when the time comes to step up, you either step up or be counted for what you are. If all Mariah sang about was "panties to the side", then perhaps addressing her as a moral being would be a moot point. Not everybody has to say everything, every time, about every issue, but Mariah Carey is making money endorsing a company whose CEO is using the money that Mariah Carey is making for Sephora to donate millions of dollars intended to directly support a racist, apartheid state currently committing a live-streamed genocide I believe Mariah Carey has used the public airways to the show pictures of Nelson Mandela in her deluxe apartment in the sky, no? Then, it's relevant to hold her accountable for the fact that all you have to do is Google "Sephora boycott" and the first three stories that pop up have to do with a Christian woman who sings songs about Jesus, but is dedicating her talent to the people who are destroying the lives of the people born where he lived and was literally executed by the state because he was committed to being an authentic enough version of himself that he became a threat to the goals of the Roman empire. Mariah Carey, who is not broke, chooses to use what she calls her God-given talent to enrich people "making large donations to former President Donald Trump's 2024 presidential campaign" while she sings "its tiiiiiime" to listen to her lip sync "glory to the newborn King" and "peace on earth". While she partners with Sephora, company owner Bernard Arnault invests hundreds of millions in Israeli companies while that nation is actively committing what everyone whose opinion counts has acknowledged is a genocide. She sings about diamonds and comments in public that she doesn't understand why some people don't "like" diamonds, all the while Sephora founder, chairman, and CEO Bernard Arnault - who invests hundreds of millions in Israeli companies, including Lusix, an Israeli diamond company - donates millions of dollars to companies from the country whose diamond exports fund over $1 billion of the Israeli Occupation Forces budget annually. LVMH's Sephora stores retail products from Ahava, one of the top 8 companies on the BDS boycott list for stealing Palestine's natural resources, eviscerating its environment, and operating in illegal settlements. So it matters that Mariah Carey is either too ignorant, too greedy, or both to make a morally intelligent decision at her age. With all the capacity she has to know better and do better, she is actively and willfully doing far less than people who have with far less but are, themselves, putting their lives and careers on the line in order to be the kind of witness to peace and love that Mariah only sings about in her songs - her notable charitable contributions notwithstanding. And let's not forget, in her personal life, Mariah Carey made the choice to date James Packer - a man who (allegedly) gave war Benjamin Netanyahu a key to his home - also the man whose gifts to Benjamin Netanyahu are the reason why Benjamin Netanyahu is currently up on corruption charges. These are her choices. She is not simply failing to burn her bra on stage and release a protest album. She is actively earning money with some of the most evil people currently on the world stage today. That matters - and saying so has nothing to do with "arrogance". If Eartha Kitt can do better, Mariah Carey can do better. If Aretha Franklin, Nina Simone, Billie Holiday, Sinead O'Connor, Lauryn Hill, and the artists formerly known as the Dixie Chicks can do better (and they certainly did), then Mariah Carey can at least Google herself and recognize that she is being exposed as a fraud (again) and do something about it now. And yes, I still love "Confetti and Champagne", because she's a phenomenal singer, a very clever songwriter, and the song is super cute. But it sounds a little different right about now.

And let's not forget, in her personal life, Mariah Carey made the choice to date James Packer - a man who (allegedly) gave war Benjamin Netanyahu a key to his home - also the man whose gifts to Benjamin Netanyahu are the reason why Benjamin Netanyahu is currently up on corruption charges. These are her choices. She is not simply failing to burn her bra on stage and release a protest album. She is actively earning money with some of the most evil people currently on the world stage today. That matters - and saying so has nothing to do with "arrogance". If Eartha Kitt can do better, Mariah Carey can do better. If Aretha Franklin, Nina Simone, Billie Holiday, Sinead O'Connor, Lauryn Hill, and the artists formerly known as the Dixie Chicks can do better (and they certainly did), then Mariah Carey can at least Google herself and recognize that she is being exposed as a fraud (again) and do something about it now. And yes, I still love "Confetti and Champagne", because she's a phenomenal singer, a very clever songwriter, and the song is super cute. But it sounds a little different right about now.

The arrogance (112,271) by MusicfanJ from Germany Two questions: Standing up for what is right, who decides what is "right"? "She is actively earning money with some of the most evil people currently on the world stage today." Which evil people? I don't understand who you mean. I've never heard about Sephora (I'm not interested in luxury brands). Lol. Google says it's a beauty brand. And it has a boycott because of politics and currents events. It's a boring trend nowadays to scream boycott. Of course you can boycott if you want. Maybe next year you'll like her it's time video better. What brand would you like? I like her video. I'm happy about every Christmas spot. It's my favourite time of year. We have the Coca Cola tv-commercial and trucks here, very popular and joined by many. The Christmas song from Melanie Thornton, "Wonderful Dream" is very popular in Germany which started with a commercial too. And I will have Mariah's two Christmas cd's on repeat. I even have the animated movie with little Mariah plus the "soundtrack". But I won't buy Mariah cookies. I bake cookies, it's affordable and yummy. Take a mulled wine or kinder punch and enjoy the season. (Thursday 6 November 2025; 11:31) this is a reply to message 112,268

The arrogance (112,268) by Geronimo from USA You seem to be attempting to miss the point in public on purpose. Standing up for what is right is non-negotiable - especially when the public is bringing your betrayal to your attention while you try to hustle religious songs at Christmas about love, joy, and peace. If she had any foresight at all, she might want to consider canceling her Christmas charade this year - especially since her latest album stands as a very public statement regarding the difference between what is happening on stage and what audiences will be hearing. Entertainment is all fine and good. But, when the time comes to step up, you either step up or be counted for what you are. If all Mariah sang about was "panties to the side", then perhaps addressing her as a moral being would be a moot point. Not everybody has to say everything, every time, about every issue, but Mariah Carey is making money endorsing a company whose CEO is using the money that Mariah Carey is making for Sephora to donate millions of dollars intended to directly support a racist, apartheid state currently committing a live-streamed genocide I believe Mariah Carey has used the public airways to the show pictures of Nelson Mandela in her deluxe apartment in the sky, no? Then, it's relevant to hold her accountable for the fact that all you have to do is Google "Sephora boycott" and the first three stories that pop up have to do with a Christian woman who sings songs about Jesus, but is dedicating her talent to the people who are destroying the lives of the people born where he lived and was literally executed by the state because he was committed to being an authentic enough version of himself that he became a threat to the goals of the Roman empire. Mariah Carey, who is not broke, chooses to use what she calls her God-given talent to enrich people "making large donations to former President Donald Trump's 2024 presidential campaign" while she sings "its tiiiiiime" to listen to her lip sync "glory to the newborn King" and "peace on earth". While she partners with Sephora, company owner Bernard Arnault invests hundreds of millions in Israeli companies while that nation is actively committing what everyone whose opinion counts has acknowledged is a genocide. She sings about diamonds and comments in public that she doesn't understand why some people don't "like" diamonds, all the while Sephora founder, chairman, and CEO Bernard Arnault - who invests hundreds of millions in Israeli companies, including Lusix, an Israeli diamond company - donates millions of dollars to companies from the country whose diamond exports fund over $1 billion of the Israeli Occupation Forces budget annually. LVMH's Sephora stores retail products from Ahava, one of the top 8 companies on the BDS boycott list for stealing Palestine's natural resources, eviscerating its environment, and operating in illegal settlements. So it matters that Mariah Carey is either too ignorant, too greedy, or both to make a morally intelligent decision at her age.
