I hoped this wouldn't happen (107,353) by Brad from USA

As a 34 year fan of MC, I had hoped it would never be her who would suffer financial ruin for overspending and mismanagement. She just seemed more diligent about that early in her career. But it seems she is ruined financially and mortgaged to her eyeballs. I know her vanity passive income projects have been a bust. She doesn't have the following or good reputation for stuff like that. Touring is all she can do at this point it seems. She's painted herself into a corner with her finances and diva persona that most folks aren't attracted to. Time for a reincarnation of Mimi. She has to bring something new to the masses to reinvent and renew her commercial viability.

OSD Tori Kelly (107,352) by Norman from USA

I think she gets nervous performing these songs. She has the skill and range, but the execution is a bit messy and not as sonically pleasing as it could be. Having Wanye sorta force-coaching her with the head spasms didn't help either. One thing about OSD for me has always been the Wanye and Mimi bridge adlibs - it drives the emotional element of the song to its peak and really delivers in a harmonious and powerful vocal performance. This rendition lacked that for me.

China (107,350) by MusicfanJ from Germany

Wow, beautiful pics from the [Great Wall] in China. She looks fantastic. I didn't expect new pics so soon. The joke with the heels, typical MC.

Haha.

The Neptunes (107,349) by Robert-Anthony from United States

What is the story behind The Neptunes not allowing MC to have producer credits on Say Somethin and To the Floor? I never heard the full story.

Christmas announcement soon? (107,348) by Robert-Anthony from United States

Do you think the huge Christmas announcement [will] come after the China and Brazil shows? I hope she makes the announcement on a morning news program like GMA or the Today Show.

Complex relationship (107,346) by Stacey from USA

Anyone who has lost a family member knows the different feelings you can experience. While I miss my dad immensely I can't help but feel peace he's free from all the mental and physical illnesses he dealt with on Earth. Maybe in some ways this will free MC from that strain she often felt with her mom and sister. I hope she finds that peace one day.

Complex relationship (107,344) by Jamie from UK

Mariah is looking great in her recent posts, she seems quite relaxed. Whilst we will never know how she is truly feeling I'm wondering if what she's recently been through has been a weight lifted off her shoulders? She's said how complex her relationship with her mother was at times and I don't even need to go there with how strained her relationship with Alison was. Maybe the worry of trying to please her family whilst not coming across as a money sponge for them is more difficult than we can understand. I may be wrong but her spirit seems lifted at the moment.

China and Brazil (107,343) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway

MC (107,342) by Robert-Anthony from United States

I knew it wasn't going to mean much of anything. I was just surprised someone posted a video of the Atlanta concert. I just always hear Atlanta music artists singing and rapping about Bankhead Highway. Lol. I do miss Atlanta for the music and culture.

MC (107,341) by C from United States

What does this piece of one song prove? Why did you post [Angels cry] or [It's a wrap]? I don't live on the westside so no Bankhead for me.

China and Brazil (107,339) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway

I think the concerts in China and Brazil will be absolutely spectacular, seems like Mariah is on fire these days, although she has been through a lot. And Merry Christmas is already making its way throughout the world, this is what we have been waiting for guys, Mariah getting recognition for the icon she is

Mariah (107,338) by Robert-Anthony from United States

She is looking and sounding good indeed. I like that Daniel Moore has been her musical director this long. He seems to have fun on that piano with MC.

Don't Stop (Funkin' 4 Jamaica) (107,335) by Stacey from USA

I about did a spit take when the article said the Grammy's liked Mariah. Apparently the article's writer didn't watch the 1996 Grammys. MC got three Grammys for TEOM. She deserved more but I'm glad she won a couple.

Article: Mariah joins Filipino fans in early Christmas celebration (107,334) by Lainsky from Philippines

Yes. Indeed, the queen has spoken. I am grateful to be Filipino or Pinoy celebrating Christmas as early as September. I made sure that on the last day of August, I included my favorite MC's Christmas song led by AIWFCIY. Merry Christmas to you all fellow lambs from all over the world from the Philippines.

MC (107,333) by Shezz from Pk

C, the insider account on X who is mostly spot on with the info of course it’s never fully confirmed. Though they did call the Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga collaboration a week before its "surprise" release.

MC (107,332) by Robert-Anthony from United States

C, MC was giving us TEOM vocals that night with no backing tracks. I remember those piercing high notes she gave that night. Do we need to meet on Bankhead Highway? Lol. Check this out.

Angels Advocate tour (107,329) by Robert-Anthony from United States

That's right Libra. I forgot about that. MC kept us waiting a long time as I remember now. They started playing R&B songs and everybody was just waiting or leaving their seats getting drinks. Then 30 minutes later the band started playing the opening song and MC's voice came on and then it was on. It has always been my best concert ever. The show was suppose to start at 7pm . I We didn't leave until a little before 10pm I think. You won't experience a great R&B concert unless it is in Atlanta. Sometimes I miss living there because of just being able to experience all of the artists who always have a stop in Atlanta.
