Re: Her recent thing? (69,199) (69,221) by MusicfanJ from Germany I didn't watch the complete episode, but what I've seen I didn't like. Every MTV special in the past was fun to watch (Mariah Around The World, Number Ones where she had guests, Rockumentary) just to name a few. Yes she's a grown-up woman who should known better. Most of the people who work for her are fake. Nobody is telling her the truth. I won't watch the up-coming episodes. The thing with the wedding dress was ridiculous. The dancer who told her it's all about t... and boobs. Does he know a normal concert is about singing and some classy entertaining? I can't believe this whole stuff.

Re: Stelle is here to stay (69,205) (69,220) by Marissa from USA I agree. Mariah and Tommy may have been a terrible match in terms of an intimate relationship, but on a professional level, Tommy was excellent for Mariah's career. I don't give a damn how many lambs hate him. Mariah's career (except TEOM era) has been sporadic, half-assed and volatile ever since. If they would have never gotten into a romantic relationship, who knows, she might still be working with him and we probably wouldn't have 90% of the complaints that we have today about her. Mariah did supply the stellar artistry so her success is not 100% to his credit, but due to Mariah's chaotic childhood, she has a penchant for chaos and instability and really needs a person who will give her structure regardless of whether she hates it or not if she wants her career to be at its peak. What's ironic is the fact that most of the success that she brags about was when she was working with a strict, take-no-shit team, yet she wants to keep running to people who challenge her to do nothing musically. She may be more active under Stella's leadership, but it's painfully obvious that her management heavily accommodates her lazy, idgaf, let's just have a splash disposition. Obviously I'm not expecting her to work as rigorously as she did in the past, but there is a huge difference between prioritizing rest and relaxation in your life and just acting lazy, sloppy, and indifferent, and she is typically doing the latter.

UK number one (69,219) by Letters From Adi from India She's #5 on the UK mid week charts. She'll probably end up at #6, making her third decade in Top 10 with the same song (the first artist ever?). She was #2 on Spotify this Saturday. If we can stream the song crazily the week before Christmas, we can get her another #1. On the other side, a Top 10 is very likely. Unsure whether if she can go #1 or not. (Wednesday 7 December 2016; 19:22)

Re: Tanaka (69,193) (69,218) by MusicfanJ from Germany I don't know what to think about Bryan Tanaka. He seems nice and of course he's a handsome good-looking guy. Maybe he has a little crush on Mariah, that's nothing which is hard to believe. But for a "real relationship" with a superstar I'm not sure if he's ready for that. As I said so many times before I just want Mariah to be happy. If he's the reason that she smiles from her heart again, well then I'm fine with it. (Wednesday 7 December 2016; 19:18)

Re: Tanaka is a parasite - fame and money parasite (69,204) (69,217) by Lila from United States At this point, the most I'm willing to give Tanaka is bisexual. I still stand by my original assessment that Tanaka comes across as this gay best friend that Mariah feels she can have fun with, flirt, do whatever, because at the end of the day, they know that they're not serious, there's no relationship, and no expectations.

Re: Bleakness / performing (69,214) (69,216) by Licia from USA I'm sorry DV but that excuse no longer works for an artist that has been doing this for 26 years (this goes for any artist). (Wednesday 7 December 2016; 16:59)

Trump Soho umbrella (69,215) by Butterfly from Beautiful umbrella, Mariah. (Wednesday 7 December 2016; 16:56)

Re: Bleakness/performing (69,202) (69,214) by SM from Citizen of the World I think At the Christmas shows she is more comfortable because it's all her fans who "want" to see her, maybe she isn't 100% comfortable when she is performing at other events. She is a real person it happens. (Wednesday 7 December 2016; 16:14)

Slayriah in NY (69,213) by Carlos from Brazil I must say I was mad at Mimi for cancelling the tour in Brazil and the whole South America but she is slaying at Beacon and now I wonder where the American Idol judges and The Voice coaches on lamblyland are hidden. Can't see them. Regarding Mariah's World I hope we will truly understand what happened with the SA leg of the tour. I can't be mad at our girl any longer. (Wednesday 7 December 2016; 16:12)

Re: Tanaka is a parasite - fame and money parasite (69,204) (69,212) by RibbonB from USA Lol you guys are probably responding to Stella or Tonka Toy, trolling on this site. Notice that was asked by a new poster. Anyone reading this messageboard would have some indication of how people feel already. Trolling for chatter perhaps. (Wednesday 7 December 2016; 15:44)

Mariah should read her own press (69,211) by RibbonB from USA One important step M. should take for her future is to take time to read her own paid for press. She should read some of the Daily Mail and TMZ comments for these regularly planted stories. She supposedly lives in this "non bleak" bubble, but if she had a problem with her prior team saying one thing to her face and doing another, she should challenge herself to really see the image she is creating. Maybe then she would not be so subject to the whims of any given team. Now if she knows what she is getting from what she is putting out and she is happy with that, then there we are.

Re: Stelle is here to stay (69,205) (69,210) by RibbonB from USA Oh please, Clive couldn't help Whitney in the end and many think he "killed" her, maybe M. wanted to escape that torture. All stars shine bright for their moment, some moments are longer than others. Notice TM hasn't created another M. because he is not God just a lucky record exec. (Wednesday 7 December 2016; 15:33)

Re: Freak show (69,173) (69,209) by Licia from USA Stacey my response wasn't for what you said. I agree with you. I thought I put his name in the title. Guess not. Lol. (Wednesday 7 December 2016; 15:31)

Re: Stelle is here to stay (69,205) (69,208) by Mara from United States I too think Stella isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Maybe, possibly if this "docuseries" is a complete flop and makes MC out to be a joke, maybe she will get rid of her but I feel there is a "psychic vampire" quality about Stella that she feeds off of M's insecurities and uses the empowering women and how they are both working mothers and that is what is connecting Mariah to Stella. That and that she thinks she will and is making Mariah all this money. I honestly think Mariah knows her age is a disadvantage in the music industry and her years of money making are slowing and she is doing all she can now (touring, make up, shows, Vegas, reality TV) to benefit off of that. We know Mariah makes a lot of money every year but we also know that Mariah lives an incredibly lavish grand lifestyle with private jets and always even way before Packer would yacht around Capri and holiday in Aspen and always bring along a lot of people along the way, not to mention the cost of being "her" with the diamonds, gowns, hair and makeup. She needs a lot of money to keep that lifestyle going so she will continue to do what she can since let's be honest, I don't think that involves new music right now. I hope I am wrong but I just don't think she thinks that is where the money is right now. (Wednesday 7 December 2016; 15:07)

Re: Beacon ensemble (69,198) (69,207) by Mara from United States Yes, Mariah is wearing a corset underneath these ensambles and that is the reason for the shapelier look. Mariah gains a lot of her weight in her neck and shoulder area and even in the dress at the premier with the single strand of diamonds I might add (which took years off her by minimizing it). Her neck area looks a little bloated, and I'm not criticizing, I'm just pointing it out. I hope she has time to keep herself healthy and take time for her. Now she is headlining a show in Dubai in February so she is not slowing down with Vegas after that. We don't really know the real Mariah and this weight gain could be medically related. Whenever you are on medication, steroids they can do things to your body almost overnight. She has every right to be like the rest of us over 40 lol and her joints could stiffen up and need medicine. I remember after the twins were born she had carpal Tunnel in her hands and that is a form of auto immune and could lead to stiffened joints and soreness all the way up the arm. Just trying to point out that we don't live our lives under the level of microscope that Mariah does and I can't imagine how that must feel having to go out there if you put a few pounds on. I hate when the holidays come around and I feel I put a few pounds on from the last. But what I don't understand and nerver will is, why push the boobs out when automatically they give you a bigger look to begin with. That long sleeve dress gives her a much slimmer look almost instantly. I love the color of that red bodysuit but just feel it's not very flattering right now and the dress that was almost identical from last year was much better fitting and not as distracting. But it comes down to if she sounds amazing, I don't care what she looks like. She is beautiful no matter what and still the best looking in the business. But the change in weight is definitely dresses or outfits with shape wear either sewn in or a corset as of late. (Wednesday 7 December 2016; 14:50)

M's managers list (69,206) by RibbonB from USA Her list is rather extensive and in recent years some were just a bleep on the radar. One thing Mariah should learn to perfect is to check the checker and of course sign her own checks. Hopefully we will see Mariah checking and challenging all of her team instead of being reassured by constant ass kissing. (Wednesday 7 December 2016; 13:33)

Re: Stelle is here to stay (69,197) (69,205) by THE TRUTH from USA Yes, unfortunately her control issues have prevented her from working with anybody post Tommy Mottola, who for all his faults really guided her towards super stardom and kept her on that path; ultimately becoming of victim of that same ego. I can think of no pop star who has had as many managers as Mariah. She steers the ship, and you do and say exactly what she wants of you're out of there. It's too bad she didn't stick with Tommy because for sure her star would have continued shining brighter and brighter, her legend remaining unscathed and intact. (Wednesday 7 December 2016; 11:56)

Re: Tanaka is a parasite - fame and money parasite (69,204) by Sheila from United States Stella, Tanaka are in this game to get this money. Bryan, Anthony Burrell and Stella are fame whores who will kiss ass and they are close to a woman worth $500 million with extreme emotional issues. Tanaka and Anthony are closet downlow gays with nice bodies, in the heat of the moment some girls like Christina Aguilera (with jorge in the stripped days) over looked her then boyfriends bisexuality (now he is fully out the closet - Jorge Santos). Tanaka is in this for fame and money. (Wednesday 7 December 2016; 11:49)

Re: Beacon ensemble (69,178) (69,203) by Licia from USA She has a flesh colored something (don't know if it's a girdle, Spanx, or a corset) underneath. It's always peaking out at the top of her outfits. I first noticed it when she performed You're Mine on the BET awards on top of the piano. It's flesh colored, but it's not the right cut for the type of really plunging tops she wears. (Wednesday 7 December 2016; 10:37)

Bleakness (69,202) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines While Mariah says "bleak" more and more times just like she does "abusive", "dahhlin" and "festive", I always think, "Yeah, that's exactly what your future will look like if you don't get it together and stop acting as 'bleak' as the people you describe." The hypocrisy can be hilarious sometimes. On a much lighter note, there's just something about the Beacon Theatre that somehow forces the singing badass out of her, even if it's just intermittently. And I'm like, "Okay, it's cool that you wanna do this for these venues, but this is how you should be when you're on TV, woman." (All caps punctuated by exclamation points, while shaking her madly.) (Wednesday 7 December 2016; 10:19)

Re: Freak show (69,173) (69,201) by Licia from USA I love that particular performance. My question is who doesn't know it was partially lipped? Whether we want to admit it or not she did lip some. I still love the performance though. (Wednesday 7 December 2016; 10:13)

Re: Tanaka (69,193) (69,200) by Sasha from Nomansland Mariah and Tanaka together look like mother and son. It's pretty disgusting. Maybe her fake boobs remind him those of his mother, who knows? (Wednesday 7 December 2016; 10:10)

Re: Her recent thing? (69,176) (69,199) by Shezz from Pk Some deluded people on her team encourage her. I was shocked when Anthony was telling her to touch her boobs during her "dance" routine rehearsal. I always thought that was her go to move when she didn't know what to do on stage. Never thought she was instructed to do so. Her problem is also that she refuses to watch other contemporary artists so she doesn't see how and what is done during these choreographed routines which is not her forte. If I'm not wrong Anthony was Beyonce's creative director or choreographer as well. Never do we see her do any tacky moves. Ugh. Why can't Mariah get the right guidance and be fantastic again? (Wednesday 7 December 2016; 9:44)

Re: Beacon ensemble (69,178) (69,198) by Shezz from Pk Mimi L. will give her a more comprehensive answer but yeah - spanx I'm sure. With probably a conscious effort of debloating herself after seeing those pics. (Wednesday 7 December 2016; 9:36)

Re: Stelle is here to stay (69,166) (69,197) by Shezz from Pk I completely agree. This is the kind of manager she's always wanted who will be there for her and be supportive of whatever she wants or does. Clearly Mariah has had a lot of trouble with friends - so this friend is here to stay. Even if we have failures. Lord have mercy. (Wednesday 7 December 2016; 9:32)
