Re: Giving the people what they want (69,061) (69,071) by Lila from United States "I hope there are more good things in this series, especially because she said she made it for herself and for her children. I hope it is something they will be proud of." Another thing I'm still tripping off of and can't believe she tried to sell us. It sounded all good in the beginning, ya know until we got the actual footage. Then all I could think was why would Roc & Roe want to look back on you planning a wedding that you never told them about, to a man they won't remember, grinding on Bryan, pouring champagne on him, Molly not being able to cry or have a boyfriend, her freaking out over setting up a Apple TV because you cannot sleep without one, and any other unnecessary nonsense? (Why would she want to look back on any of that?) I guess they'll be requesting the version I've already put in my request for: a chopped up version with all the family scenes put into one compilation. I've seen and liked the clip with her and Big Jim but I don't know, I still worry that any substance will be drowned out by drama and stupidity. It will be a pleasant surprise if not.

If it's true, I'm glad she didn't (69,070) by Edward from USA I'm glad Mariah didn't sing with the other divas/vocalists, we all know she didn't do it because her current voice is inconsistent and not as powerful to go against any of these younger vocalists or Patti Labelle. She saved herself and us fans from embarrassment. It's easier to dub or lip when you're the only act, but a group effort would've shown the real state of her voice. She can still pull great performances, but with the aid of backing tracks, something she wouldn't have been able to do in this case. So, I'm happy she only sung, partly sung, or lipped to AIWFCIY and went home. There's always an excuse as to why she lips, even it's one damn song, but I'm glad she didn't even try it. She's clearly not "A Diva O' the Day" anymore. (Monday 5 December 2016; 1:10)

Re: If it's true (69,068) (69,069) by B from USA Mariah wasn't the headliner, Chaka is. They advertised it as Mariah but she's just the opening act. I'm glad she didn't stay for the I'm Every Woman duet. Whitney owns that song. When it was announced I assumed Mriah was being honored since it's Christmas themed but they chose to honor Chaka. Why it wasn't Mariah themed is beyond me. Especially since it's only an hour long. (Monday 5 December 2016; 0:48)

If it's true (69,068) by Randy from USA I am pissed. She was the headlining act. It was said she would duet with Patti. If she sang AIWFCIY and left, then I'm furious. And another thing, I don't even like her singing that song because beside the beginning and one note at the end, it's all background and two Mariah's, even on the record. I don't care how good she looks. Sing. (Monday 5 December 2016; 0:25)

All I Want For Christmas Is You (69,067) by Billy from England, UK It is at #4 on the UK Spotify top 50 today, would be great if it reached #1. (Sunday 4 December 2016; 23:18)

Re: Giving the people what they want (69,042) (69,066) by JAXGH from United States By all means Mariah has became the queen of sensationalism. The public really wouldn't take a look unless it's drama. I truly believe she's living by her words "forget the image, forget the short skirt, whateva". It's crystal clear. She's just going with the flow. I don't think she has any intention on fixing her image. And if she does, it really wouldn't change a thing. Even through her records, you can feel Mariah is a good person. But then again the public doesn't care about that. I agree with all you pointed. At this point, Mariah is just doing as much she can, while she has the energy and before her fresh looks slip away. She's 60 before you know it. This show will be quite interesting as it is co-produced by her, drama galore with comedy skits, throwback moments and real life endeavors. She was also talking about her biography intimately. People will attain better comprehension of Mimi. To me it feels right she's doing it, finally a platform where she has complete freedom and control, to show people her true self behind the scenes and what she's really all about. Hard work, laughs, drama and fun. (Sunday 4 December 2016; 22:11)

Re: Ugh (69,048) (69,065) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines "But the boobs get in the way. There's much I want to say. I try to say I love you but the boobs get in the way." Sorry, was reading your comment when Gloria Estefan & The Miami Sound Machine came next on my playlist. Very apt, though. Haha. (Sunday 4 December 2016; 22:04)

Do you know where you're going to? (69,063) by Tijl from Belgium Honestly honey, when will the focus migrate from titty moments to witty songwriting? Don't forget about us. The OOC fantasy is leading to a breakdown even with the most obsessed sweetheart fans as me. I need my hero and not this heartbreaker. Make it happen Mariah because you are vanishing. The fans may never know the real you but your meteorite as a legend is fading. Come back baby. I still believe but I want you to make it happen. (Sunday 4 December 2016; 21:22)

AIWFCIY current position (69,062) by Leito from USA AIWFCIY is currently #13 on USA iTunes chart, #38 on Spotify and #15 on Amazon. I hope one day it reaches #1, even if only for just 1 week. It's still possible, folks. Maybe if they sell it at a slightly discounted rate? There are currently 3 songs selling at a discounted price, charting higher than AIWFCIY. I've been streaming it, on repeat, all day on Spotify. (Sunday 4 December 2016; 19:27)

Re: Giving the people what they want (69,042) (69,061) by RibbonB from USA Mariah and her team knew the things they have been doing would get negative and positive reactions and yet they chose to do them and Mariah is selling this show down to the last interview with coy, come hither glances. I'm sure many people will watch, but there are others who don't want her to get caught up in her own self created hype and forget what is really important, the music, her faith (used to be), her children. There are many routes one can take, but Mariah picked this one. I hope there are more good things in this series, especially because she said she made it for herself and for her children. I hope it is something they will be proud of. Oh and if James' name is on said leases, then he will pay all M. has to do is leave the premises. Close the door and lose the keys leave the ring on the mat if she please. Oh and the parent with main custody should just show more discretion, because what they do around the children sets a good or bad impression for their future and revolving doors ain't cute, that's for a hotel not a home. IMO. (Sunday 4 December 2016; 17:20)

Divas Holiday: Unsilent Night (69,060) by Malcolm from Asia She lost her passion. All she wants right now is the attention and not the artistry anymore. Of course she don't want to be in that curtain call because she's too big for that. And she opened the show, will she wait there for a few hours just to be with the other singers at the end? Of course not, she's Mariah Carey, she must be the one who keeps everyone waiting. I know she can sing completely live, she just lost the enthusiasm, she got too lazy to put some work. All I want for Christmas is for her to do a raw, live performance like what she did in Jimmy Fallon. Don't fool everyone Mariah, it's unfair. Accept that your voice has changed and have limitations now and embrace it, I bet everyone will love and respect you even more as a musician and will probably credit your contribution in the music industry the way it must be. I hope you will soon realize that diamonds are not forever. Wishing you more genuine happiness and essence this coming 2017. (Sunday 4 December 2016; 16:59)

Divas Live (69,059) by darrian liu from taiwan I'm quite disappointed in Mariah for this. She should've prepared more. She's the headliner there, shouldn't she be singing through the whole thing? I would understand the "perform only AIWFCIY" thing if she's billed as a guest performer but her face is literally the biggest image on the poster of VH1 Divas 2016. It should've been like Beacon Theatre, only this time it's with more performers. (Sunday 4 December 2016; 16:46)

Tis the season to be jolly (69,058) by DK from USA It looks like a lot of people here are ready to "be ashamed" of being Mariah fans and somehow find her recent behaviors scandalous. In your private lives you never have a fun smooch with a friend just for the silliness of it all? Or have a glass of wine? Yes these moments are being captured by the cameras but I don't think the general public analyzes every single move official or not of Mariah the same way that the "lambs" and/or "goats" do. Wait a minute Mariah looks fat? And she is not properly displaying her assets? None of this is new. Mariah is a person but also a brand and the show must go on. I never believe the numbers, well she has millions and should just retire gracefully. Retire before you are 50 while you have been on an ADHD whirlwind since you were 18? It's just not possible and only she can make that call. Mariah is ultra talented and she will always be judged about every single move, especially regarding her talent that even during her peak days has never been acknowledged properly but she did them all one better by continuing to create more music. For those who say she doesn't care care about the music, it's the people who don't (#Beautiful; Me... I Am Mariah were great) - it's simply a sign of the times. People don't buy records the same way and especially grow bored super quickly of acts, especially ones that have been in the business for a super long time like Mariah. So Mariah is playing the game for once - let's hope it's outcomes are positive. 2017. What I like about her recent acts is that she is putting more of a show with some production value behind it. The dancers are putting more of an effort - the VH1 AIWFCIY performance was definitely fresh. Good things are happening for MC and I hope her E show is successful enough to help her launch her next music project. Happy holidays. (Sunday 4 December 2016; 16:24)

Re: Giving the people what they want (69,042) (69,057) by Lila from United States Telling someone that they should be on time is not a witch hunt. No one said that Mariah's being late was anything new but that's the point. She should not be late. It should not be a normal occurrence. Let's not act like Mariah does anything, significant enough, for charity, worthy of being highlighted by the press. And before anyone rushes to twist my words, I did not say that she does nothing for charity, just nothing worthy of great attention. It's not enough to just give money or be seen at this evening event or that in the name of charity, or have someone else do all the leg work for your charity and you show up once in a while, etc. You have to be an active participant all the time, and be on your Angelina Jolie, literally. Not gonna touch the Nick thing because what needs to be said has already been said. We already know these stunts are hype for the show. You're not telling us anything we don't know there. Here's what we're saying: We don't want it. Why does this docuseries need hype of the kind that we've been fed anyway? She can keep it. That beach crap for a skit? That tragedy should be buried and never heard of again. No, this is the right context: Mariah played herself moving into a big house, that she didn't need, for a man she barely knew, when she could've stayed in New York or at least rented a smaller/less expensive house. Who cares how much it cost her? She's not broke, as far as we know, and it's her fault she has to pay. No one gives a f*ck if Mariah dates but 1) date someone because you truly care for them and they make you happy, not because you want to prove x, y, z to a, b, c, the media, the public or anyone else and 2) don't drag them up and through Roc and Roe's life and space.

Re: MAC Mariah Beauty Icon launch slumber party (69,054) (69,056) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Dahlin', that's because I didn't put that suggestion (and rant) up here on MCA at that time. Haha no seriously though, it was after many posts from myself and Shelly that we suddenly heard that she'll be collaborating with MAC. We even discussed packaging and colors of the products and what products should be included (although the packaging that they went with was way better). Then there was the time B and I went about petitioning for Mariah to try out Balmain and lo and behold after a while she was doing that. So there are at least some things that Stella listened to haha. (Sunday 4 December 2016; 15:19)

Re: Piers Morgan (69,045) (69,055) by Musti from UK I don't find anything unbelievable about what he said. We all know she is always late. She was a late arrival for her last Rockefeller performance. She was extremely late to the WMAs a couple of years ago. These are some of the most embarrassing ones that I can remember. Many many other instances, most of which we are not even aware of. Even Ellen called her out recently and I have a feeling M wasn't expecting to be put on the spot. I don't think anyone's going to sit down and have a heart-to-heart with her anymore. She doesn't care. People don't care. She has even managed to put off her diehard lambs (including me). Why would anyone else give a damn anymore? If it wasn't for her gorgeous voice (studio miracle or not), I would've left a long time ago. What she is doing to herself is too painful to watch and to accept. She has reduced herself to absolute gossip trash. I'll pray for new music soon. Other than that I really don't care anymore. Unless she decides to fix herself. But I reckon that ship has long sailed. (Sunday 4 December 2016; 15:10)

Re: MAC Mariah Beauty Icon launch slumber party (69,052) (69,054) by Licia from USA I think the MAC collection is brilliant. I'm surprised she didn't do this when she put out the perfume. (Sunday 4 December 2016; 14:31)

Re: Giving the people what they want (69,042) (69,053) by Licia from USA That's a cool story. (Sunday 4 December 2016; 14:02)

Re: MAC Mariah Beauty Icon launch slumber party (69,049) (69,052) by Lila from United States So once again we have a little girl lounging around with adult women and men who all are dressed in lingerie. Rolling my eyes so hard right now. Mariah looks great at least. Overall I'm happy that the MAC collection is a good venture that I'm excited about, not trashy, not worrying, and is going well. Good job MAC. (Sunday 4 December 2016; 13:43)

Re: My "Infinity" re-edit (52,598) (69,051) by Nicky from Jasmine's Sofa Skip. Can you please bring the re-edit back? I've been searching for it and I need it in my life. (Sunday 4 December 2016; 12:26)

Re: Divas clips (69,038) (69,050) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Apparently she did lip sync (not sure if it was the whole thing or parts), maybe she sang with a loud backing track. There is supposedly a video of the divas taping via FB live and apparently Patti said something along the lines of "she's lip synching" and then said "she told me she's not well" or something like that. I'll post the video if I find it, but honestly I couldn't be bothered. She just sang AIWFCIY and left. She wasn't in the group performance. Anyways all I'll say is she looked great and it looked like she was pretty energetic on stage so I am waiting to see the final version. Hopefully people will like it. (Sunday 4 December 2016; 10:51)

MAC Mariah Beauty Icon launch slumber party (69,049) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So Mariah and MAC held a slumber party for her Beauty Icon line launch. She invited a bunch of beauty bloggers over for a slumber party at a hotel. This is photo 1 and photo 2 of her entrance. This is the video of the entrance. She looks stunning. Mariah literally looks like Barbie here in a Barbie house. Love the lay out they did for the photo booth bed with the pink and the customized covers and the dripping diamonds. Mariah with Patrick Starr. Mariah with another blogger. Here's a group shot. She seems to outshine everyone in the room. Mariah with her social media manager. Mariah with her competent manager.

Ugh (69,048) by Stacey from USA I am so sick of her boobs always hanging out. Enough already. Ugh. (Sunday 4 December 2016; 10:21)

Re: Divas clips (69,039) (69,047) by IfWeeeeee from Over There She didn't do an ensemble performance. Her insecurities have gotten the best of her again. I mean, I do side with her though. Why would she humiliate herself further by getting out-sung by the veterans and new comers? At least she's still self-aware on that regard. I wish Patti, at some point during the night, told Mariah to put her implants away some time. (Sunday 4 December 2016; 6:41)

Re: Divas clips (69,039) (69,046) by Shezz from Pk So from the pictures it seems like Mariah opted out of the group song. Hope there were more singers beyond the camera frame but I highly doubt it. Didn't see Vanessa Williams either. (Sunday 4 December 2016; 6:41)
