MAC behind the scenes (69,110) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I don't remember if I posted this before. Photo 2 from the behind the scenes moment. Such an ethereal shot. This is a beautiful shot of our beauty school drop out doing her own makeup. I would like the final version of this photo. Very Charmbracelet meets TEOM. Last photo. (Monday 5 December 2016; 19:33)

Viewing party photos (69,109) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Photo 1 and photo 2 of Mariah arriving at the viewing party. This is such a cute photo, she looks amazing. This is basically Mariah's world currently. We have this photo of the Manakas. (Monday 5 December 2016; 19:30)

Re: Mariah's world was (69,092) (69,108) by Liz Archer from Sweden I agree, this isn't Stella's World. (Monday 5 December 2016; 19:29)

Re: MW episode 1 : Mimi L review (69,095) (69,107) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The Roc and Roe moments were precious and you could tell these kids love the spotlight and are stars in the making because they came running to be on camera haha, just like Mariah said that they love being on stage. The show is definitely not a train wreck, neither did I think it would be, but it is what I expected it would turn out to be and that is it is somewhat scripted. I agree with the whole disoriented thing you mentioned. It is quite confusing at times. Especially to casual audience. (Monday 5 December 2016; 19:17)

Re: Mariah's World (69,094) (69,106) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I also wanted to mention how the editing was choppy and it just kept going back and forth so much. The structure was very messy up until the end when it finally got a little stable. But throughout it was messy. Like they couldn't figure out how make a proper structure. It looked more like a montage than a documentary. Or like an extended teaser trailer with several random footage sewn in together. (Monday 5 December 2016; 19:14)

Mariah's World (69,105) by 123 from USA Couldn't wait to watch it. Glad I did. Those that haven't should as many people have been giving their two cents about what may be going on with Mariah's World right now. I did like it and Mariah came off very tame. Here are some observations: 1. Mariah is a great musician, but a not so great artist. If it has anything to do with music, whether creating new intros with Big Jim or doing musical edits with her engineer in the studio for the tour, she is all for it. When it came to the stage production, departure and arrival to each country, "I just want someone else to take care of it and make sure it's fine and just show up." I could never imagine Madonna not being involved in every aspect of her tour, especially the visual aspect. For someone like Mariah, who is all about appearance, this was a surprise. 2. Stella still has a lot to learn and is only concern is to "make Mariah money". Even thought it is true, she needs to make sure she is focused on all the little things that go into making someone money. The whole, nanny didn't have her passport so everyone was late to the rehearsal in Scotland should have never happened. As the manager, you should have made sure everyone had their passports. This is like travel 101. 3. Ty, you were right about Bryan and Anthony. They gave you hell on this board for what you said but I clocked all of it last night. Cant wait to watch the rest.

I've seen enough (69,104) by Marissa from USA The only part of MW that I saw was a clip of Mariah giving Stella's backstory/defending her that I found on Stella's Instagram. That clip alone was a confirmation that I have no need to watch this show. What I don't understand is how Mariah, a 46 year old, doesn't realize that if everyone hates a person, 9 times out of 10 there is probably a good reason for it rather than them just being misunderstood. Even the most evil person will be nice to you if you give them everything they want, which is exactly why Stella always remains in Mariah's good graces. Stella hasn't unleashed on Mariah yet because she has no reason to as long as she is getting a hefty paycheck and is traveling the world. Let Mariah fire her and let's see how much of a sweet single mom she will be then. Mariah's relationship with Stella reminds me of a girl who gets into a relationship with a guy who has beaten every single one of his girlfriends who came before her, yet she thinks that somehow she will be the exception.

Re: Mariah's world was (69,092) (69,102) by B from USA I wish we could watch the series together. I love ya and adore ya, Mimi. (Monday 5 December 2016; 18:03)

Re: I'ts not a reality show, it's not scripted (69,089) (69,100) by B from USA I hope the James debacle is ended with the next episode with Mariah explaining why it didn't work out and dispelling the rumors of the $50,000.00 inconvenience fee. I don't think Mariah or Stella released the stories about Bryan. I think they released the prenuptial agreement in retaliation for the insider stories that were leaked. I love the return of Bianca and Mariah's scene with Big Jim at the piano. When they said that they meant that she's not as interesting as Kim K. Which is mind boggling. She isn't a Kardashian thankfully. I also loved the homage to Cribs on the yacht. (Monday 5 December 2016; 17:58)

Re: Freak show (69,075) (69,099) by Terna from Nigeria Then you and George seem to be in the minority because I felt that was a classy fresh look and performance from her in since forever matter of fact she's never done anything remotely close to this. And judging by the positive comments on social media not just the lambily, I say it was a big win for her. Mariah slayed point blank period. (Monday 5 December 2016; 17:46)

Re: Lipping and off you go (69,073) (69,098) by Terna from Nigeria Everytime you complain about Mariah lipping you show just how ignorant you really are about nodules and polyps. The former of which Mariah has always had. That's right, even before she recorded her first album. It's the reason her voice has constantly kept changing with every album, tour and performance but she got away with it as a result of her youth. Now she's older it's much more obvious. Sure she also doesn't take care of her instrument like before, how sure are we? None of us here are with her 24/7 now are we? So with that in mind, you should know that comparing Mariah to other singers who don't (all caps) have nodules is ridiculous. And the funny thing with nodules is that the problem exacerbates over time and in her case, surgery might be the only option. Two words. Julie Andrews. (Monday 5 December 2016; 17:34)

Re: Mariah's World is everything (69,096) (69,097) by G.G. from USA Stella, is that you? I see you girl. (Monday 5 December 2016; 17:22)

Mariah's World is everything (69,096) by We are Lambily from USA Wow wow wow. This show was beyond anything I could have imagine, it was so great. I loved the Stella moments so much, I truly do respect her much more than I did. The Bianca moment was hysterical. (Monday 5 December 2016; 17:03)

Re: MW episode 1 : Mimi L review (69,083) (69,095) by Malcolm from Asia Mariah's World is no doubt a reality show even though how much Mariah defends that it's not. I agree with that Molly part, that alone shouts that it's not a docu-series, not to mention the super sketchy feel with that situation, looks really scripted and I'm sure Stella loves it and she's not bothered to hide it. I'm thankful that it's not that really a trainwreck (I hope it stays like that for the rest of the episodes) but on the other hand, I'm quite disappointed on how they put the scenes all together because some moments were cute and great but it feels like it's disoriented, in short, it's not bad but it's not that great either. One thing that I realize watching the first episode is how Mariah really is a great and loving mother to Roc and Roe and how these kids love their mother so much, now that's the part you can't be staged.

Mariah's World (69,094) by Lila from United States I'm watching it now for free online on one of those websites that have like dozens of links for you to click through and see if you can find one that works lol. It's not a train wreck but I think it's stupid. That's the only word I can think of lol. IDK, in a way I still feel like it's a train wreck but a subtle one yet not the show itself but the little insights that we do get, if that makes any sense. It definitely is a reality tv show and there's definitely a lot of scripting going on. You'd have to be blind not to see that and it. The editing is choppy as all get out. Mariah can't dance, let it go. There is no choreography to speak of only an inch of sexy poses, which we already know. That was a waste of screen time lol. Tons of Mariah defending Stella. Shakespeare's "The lady doth protest too much" springs to my mind. We get the introduction of Bryan. Ugh. That call to James was so fake. Stella is everything I thought she was. Ugh. I felt like ultimately we don't get much behind the scenes of the tour. I know it stopped before the tour started but there could have been more following of the actual tour being put together than there was. Hopefully we'll see that in the other episodes.

Re: My "Infinity" re-edit (69,076) (69,093) by Warrior Butterfly from USA Could you please email it to me as well. Thanks. (Monday 5 December 2016; 14:58)

Re: Mariah's world was (69,091) (69,092) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter "Every review I've read said the series needed more Mariah and less Stella." I agree with this. I hope that from the next episode they tone down on the Stella dominance and have more of Mariah. I also can live without the Molly storyline. Waste of time. I'd much rather have more clips from the SSFT shows. Granted this episode is before the show started so that may explain why there were no clips but hopefully from the next episode we get more clips from her performances and audience interactions from the show. (Monday 5 December 2016; 14:52)

Re: Mariah's world was (69,081) (69,091) by B from USA It wasn't bad or great which the reviews have reflected. Most expected (wanted) a train wreck and are disappointed they didn't get it. The reviews have been decidedly mixed. Every review I've read said the series needed more Mariah and less Stella. (Monday 5 December 2016; 14:24)

Re: Christmas songs (69,087) (69,090) by B from USA Christmas (Baby Please Come Home), Miss You Most At Christmas Time, and All I Want For Christmas Is You. (Monday 5 December 2016; 14:21)

I'ts not a reality show, it's not scripted (69,089) by Butterfly from According to Mariah. Oh how the mighty has fallen. She's nothing more than a Kim K wannabe. (Monday 5 December 2016; 13:54)

Re: Mariah's World (69,078) (69,088) by B from USA I'm going to wait until I've seen every episode before passing judgment. I think those beach pics were for a project and only done because of the rumors. (Monday 5 December 2016; 13:39)

Re: Christmas songs (69,084) (69,087) by Licia from USA Here Comes Santa Clause, Oh Holy Night, Joy To The World (especially the live versions), Christmas (Baby Please Come Home), and Hark The Herald. I tend to listen to these more than AIWFCIY. (Monday 5 December 2016; 13:30)

Re: MW episode 1 : Mimi L review (69,083) (69,086) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines "I don't feel like re-watching it now." Uh-oh. I mean it could just be you but still, uh-oh. (Monday 5 December 2016; 12:58)

Article: Mariah Carey: critics say she is no Kim Kardashian (69,085) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines "Mariah Carey: critics say she is no Kim Kardashian". A year or so ago, I would have definitely considered that a compliment, but now that Mariah has dabbled in "reality TV", I guess it's not anymore? Hold up - are we actually referring to the same Mariah Carey we grew up listening to? Has it really come to this now? (Monday 5 December 2016; 12:32)
