Re: Marilyn Monroe (66,039) (66,047) by Edward from USA Mariah Carey is a fan of Marilyn Monroe's, she's not Marilyn Monroe, and she won't ever be in her category when it comes to what Marylin brought to the table. Marylin Monroe never pushed sexy, she exuded sexiness. She was glamorous, never trashy. Mariah came out of the cocoon and turned into a sexy and beautiful Bufferfly, never trashy. Even in the video for Breakdown she looks damn sexy. During the Rainbow era she was still a young woman, I don't remember any picture of her flashing her boobs as if she wanted to feed anybody. But now Mariah is borderline trashy. If there were a list of the top ten glamorous ladies in the music business, I don't think Mariah would be on that list. At least not the "Mariah Carey of the day" as she called a diva of the moment on an Oprah show. (Friday 9 September 2016; 22:08)

The Goddess (66,046) by RibbonB from USA Imma just leave this clip right here. Lol. (Friday 9 September 2016; 22:04)

Re: New interview (66,040) (66,045) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha no I meant that she was probably about to say she had the best time of her life with Luis Miguel but then realized Packer would not be down with that, so quickly changed it to something else. She was smitten by Luis, there is no doubt in that. If I'm not mistaken, their break up along with several other problems in her life led to the 2001 breakdown. I mean it was part of the reason, obviously she had a lot more going on. (Friday 9 September 2016; 22:04)

Whatever (66,044) by Liz Archer from Sweden Honestly, I am very disappointed with Mariah and have been for some time. Yes, Mariah can sing and she has an amazing voice. But honestly, just look at Lady Gaga. That is innovation and artistry, her videos are so cool. She is a different type of entertainer from Mariah but still. Instead look at Mariah at the moment, she is basically showing herself nude on images and whatever. I don't know. I am just starting to wonder what Mariah really wants. Her diva-ness or whatever is hurting her likeness? Or is she lazy? I don't know why it has taken her so long to release new music or whatever. Whatever. I am very disappointed today.

Gasping - lack of air mix (66,043) by Edward from USA I first noticed Mariah gasping for air when she started promoting "Butterfly". It was a shock to me since she'd always had lungs of steel. I'm not expert to say that it has to do with her implants, but it has always boggled my mind as to what the cause could be. That's when her unmatched effortless fluidity went down the drain too. Sometimes when I listen to some of the songs I like from Ariana Grande, I feel nostalgic of those times when Mariah could still sing a line without the worry look in her face. Ariana doesn't have Mariah's range or enunciation but she has that buttery tone Mariah used to have. I was listening to Celine Dion's new song "Recovering" written by P!nk, and and even though her voice definitely has changed, I wish Mariah had retained as much control of her voice as Celine has.

Re: Bath tub post (66,037) (66,042) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter If they thought this would help repair her image, then they are dead wrong. Yes it might help people tune in to the reality show, key word here is "might". Because it might putt off people more because they already think she is an over the top self obsessed diva. Now to have her be naked in a tub wearing diamond jewellery will only support that image. Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Mariah say through this she wants people to see the "real her" and said she thinks people don't know anything about her. I don't see how this is any different from what people think. If Mariah has such short term goals "get trashy to sell the reality show", what will happen after the airing of the 8 episodes? She should have long term image repair goals so that it ensures her future music would sell better. After all that's the first thing that should come to people's mind when they hear her name right? Mariah is music? Andrew don't even bother insulting me about this messy rambling post man, I know I probably am writing crap by now, I am just too frustrated with where this is going. Yes, like people have pointed out this isn't new behavior (the naked bath tub moment) but I've said before, Mariah always had some trashy moments but nowadays it's always like this. Previously it was balanced. Now it's always bodysuits, bra and those blouses which have strings near the boobs. Plus her team does bull crap, instead of highlighting her successful run at Vegas, they are instead running stories about her naked in a bath tub. (Friday 9 September 2016; 21:50)

Re: Marilyn Monroe (66,039) (66,041) by RibbonB from USA The only thing that surprises me about it, it she is doing it even more so now than ever and after having had two kids. The timing just makes it seem off. It wasn't a good time for Marilyn as she got older. I also think it is weird that she talks about letting her daughter watch old Marilyn movies even though she doesn't know what they are about. A couple years ago, M. tweeted Monroe holding the movie The Goddess, which is a really weird tragic, melodramatic Marilyn like story from the 50's or 60's. IDK, but I wish them all well. (Friday 9 September 2016; 21:47)

Re: New interview (66,038) (66,040) by RibbonB from USA She wants to fill that stadium. Lol. She always plays up the culture where she is or will be visiting. And of course I am sure she did have fun, until it wasn't. Then it got cray. (Friday 9 September 2016; 21:34)

Marilyn Monroe (66,039) by SM from Citizen of the World Mariah's idol is Marilyn Monroe, I am not and will never be shocked at what Mariah does in photos or what she wears etc. I kinda think some people forget that. (Friday 9 September 2016; 21:20)

New interview (66,038) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah is talking about taking her tour to Mexico in this new interview. There is a part around the beginning where they ask her about Luis Miguel and at one point she talks about how she used to spend a lot of time there and started saying what seemed like "it was one of the best times of her life" but instead went for "it was a really good time of my life". (Friday 9 September 2016; 21:17)

Re: Bath tub post (66,031) (66,037) by Andrew from UK To much protestation I did say a couple of years back this was heading one way only. But I can't rejoice. It's heartbreaking. But to analyse, it can only be one of two things, as I see it. Has Mariah finally lost the last marble or is there an endgame? By the latter I mean maybe (and, honestly, even I want to find the good in this) she's playing out Stella's business plan? I know squat about PR (Martyn and others may actually know) but there must have been a proposal, a business plan, that Mariah signed off on, with the reality show the final play. Packer, plastic surgery, diva diamonds, everything points towards what the TV show may be about. Perhaps this is all part of that proposal. Suggest Stella be retained for the things for which she is qualified and other professionals brought in alongside her to counteract bad decisions and guide the machine. Powerful people have several advisors. Think Mariah needs the same. And, yes, some class. When your fans don't even recognise your face, something is seriously rotten. I recall the first time I saw Mariah in 1993 and couldn't believe that voice came out of that face. How could anyone be so beautiful and sound so ethereal? In addition, Mariah has breathing problems when singing. Now, a vocal expert would know more, but let me armchair this: is vocal chord deterioration linked to breathlessness and vice-versa? I shouldnt think so. Mariah had a set of lungs unrivalled save for Whitney and Celine. Since 1998 she gasps for air before she's finished the phrase she's on. Happened that this was around the start of the breast augmentation. Surely having two pounds of sugar strapped to your chest would cause this? Again, I'm not the expert here. But it makes sense to me. (Friday 9 September 2016; 20:30)

Re: Latest IG post (66,027) (66,036) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter B dahlin' you know I hate Stella and I have been very vocal about it despite the backlashes but honestly Mariah is a 46 year old woman, a mother and a business woman who has been in this industry for almost 3 decades, if she keeps getting influenced so easily, that's a problem. As for Stella, that woman, I can't. Seriously who goes around telling random strangers "I've had a new boob job"? And yes they are strangers whether they are lambs or not. As Mariah is growing older, she is losing her classy self and embracing the trashy route. It won't help her at all. (Friday 9 September 2016; 20:26)

Re: Bathtub moments (66,028) (66,035) by MusicfanJ from Germany I totally agree with Edward. I always stood behind Mariah but this is too much. And I don't think we can compare it with the "Shake it off" video or the MTV Cribs-moment. In the past it was just sexy and playful but this looks only cheap. What is going on with her? Even if it's a midlife-crisis, I wonder how can she allow this too? Where are her friends or is really just "the management" left? I'm almost scared what's coming up next. (Friday 9 September 2016; 20:12)

Mariah's posts (66,034) by JAXGH from United States Mariah needs to hire an instagram consultant/ photographer/ manager asap. Let's say that bathtub picture was taken in an artsy, conceptualized way, it would be a tad bit acceptable but this selfie with her boobies completely hanging out just makes it look like a behind the scene of a porn scene. What's up with this? My gosh. Her and Nick must've really have a lot of porn sex. "Everything she does is slightly porno." Lmao. It came out even more after the divorce. Oh dear. Mariah. Wake up baby girl (Friday 9 September 2016; 18:38)

Liron (66,033) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter According to Liron, Mariah will be involved with her social media and personally join in on conversations about what songs fans want to hear in the next SSFT leg, so Marissa, that's a step towards your petition. Congrats. Although it's yet to be seen how involved she will actually be but hey. (Friday 9 September 2016; 18:37)

Re: What the hell (66,019) (66,032) by Luke from United Kingdom I know what I posted. Have you even heard the term "chubby cheeks"? People can have chubbier cheeks and still be slim. Look at her profile of her smiling when she's younger and you'll see her cheeks stand out more than most people's. Of course it's been less noticable when she slims down. (Friday 9 September 2016; 17:56)

Bath tub post (66,031) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The "selfie" pic is too much. Remember this is the same Mariah that once was slightly offended that people thought she actually took off her clothes during the "MTV Cribs" bathroom moment. Now she is actually naked and willingly posting it on social media for millions to see. Plus look at the fake eyelashes, horrible, this is what makes her eyes look weird and small. Whereas naturally she is so beautiful. Why are there even people with her while she is taking a bath? She complains about Roc and Roe not letting her even take a bath some and yet she has people taking pictures complete with selfie lights while she is taking a bath? Does Stella and Mishka follow her there too? (Friday 9 September 2016; 17:48)

Bathtub pics nothing new (66,030) by enwar00 from usa I respect people's opinions. At the same time, I'm surprised some seem shocked to see pics of Mariah "naked" in a bath tub. As far back as Rainbow era I can remember there were pics of her in a tub with only rose petals. She was in a tub in the Shake It Off video. There were pics of her in a tub with her dog. She was taking a shower in the We Belong Together video. So she likes to be clean, is that so terrible? It's been almost 20 years since she was pretty much in her panties on the cover of her album looking like a plastic Barbie doll, so this doesn't shock or surprise me. (Friday 9 September 2016; 17:24)

Re: Mariah's face (66,010) (66,029) by B from USA I don't think she's had surgery or botox. I think she had a temporary filler injected. (Friday 9 September 2016; 17:16)

Re: Bathtub moments (66,026) (66,028) by Edward from USA What scares me the most about the pics in the tub is the look in her eyes, like something isn't quite right. And the fake smile again with her head to the side. These pics are very unflattering. How many times do we have to see Mariah lying down touching herself? Not only in pictures but in videos. Is there anything ever left to the imagination? If this is the way she thinks she's going for a memorable comeback, she'd better think twice. I would've expected this type of behavior back when she was younger in her 20's. She seems to be going through some sort of a midlife crisis. When you have a fan who's been riding with you for 25 years ready to get off the wagon the situation is critical. (Friday 9 September 2016; 17:13)

Re: Latest IG post (66,024) (66,027) by B from USA A cheap hooker named Stella. She's behind this. I can't believe Mariah would allow such unflattering images to be posted (Friday 9 September 2016; 17:11)

Bathtub moments (66,026) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) While I am all for freedom of expression, and while I am also happy Mariah has found some form of happiness and confidence again I do not need a naked look at me moment every chance she gets. All this is going to do is cheapen what's left of her brand and get people talking and not in a good way and this is not something she needs right now. But all in all she looks great. But it's time to give the world the classy meets sexy Mariah without looking cheap and desperate. (Friday 9 September 2016; 16:50)

Re: Dear Andrew (66,000) (66,025) by B from USA I can hire an expert that says one thing and so can someone else. Therein lies the problem with this type of melodic reduction. (Friday 9 September 2016; 16:44)

Latest IG post (66,024) by Malcolm from Asia Ew, just ew. Is she even for real? Highest form of crap. Nothing is sexy and amusing in that pic, just purely distasteful. Is that even the same woman who wrote Vision Of Love and the mother of Roc and Roe? Is that even the same woman whom I fell in love and felt inspired with? It's embarrassing. That lashes is hideous I can't, seriously? A woman worth 500+ million wears lashes like that? Oh maybe she is just a cheap hooker that hacks MC's account? Sh*t where is Mariah Carey? (Friday 9 September 2016; 16:40)

Article: Mariah takes bubble bath in diamonds and nothing else (66,023) by 90sMariah from SG Yes, Mariah, we already know: 1. You have tons of diamond jewelries. 2. You love getting naked. 3. You can't resist to take bubble baths. Give us something new. (Friday 9 September 2016; 16:30)
