Re: Voicemail (71,040) (71,047) by Luke from United Kingdom I actually thought the same thing. I didn't even think it was Mariah at first because it sounded nothing like her. I didn't bother saying anything because I just thought it was me being nit-picky lol. She must be able to seriously manipulate her voice to sound differently, because I could barely recognise her if that's how she normally speaks. (Monday 9 January 2017; 14:24)

Tommy and MIAM (71,045) by Dennis from Miami, FL I often wonder if Tommy listens to Mariah's resent albums. What it feels like for him to hear "I wish you well", "The Art of Letting Go" or "Languishing". It could be that these songs are not about few persons. Mariah is very careful with the word choices. For sure she uses special phrases only those involved would understand completely. Was he surprised by the Minister moniker, or he was one of those closest? He apologized to Mariah few times in his book about their marriage but he said nothing about anything that happened after the divorce. Like it never happened. I bet it was painful for him to see the Honey video. And even more painful to see MIAM not being promoted as it supposed to be. (Monday 9 January 2017; 14:10)

Does Stella steal MW from Mariah (71,044) by Sheila from United States The media is reporting that Stella is the breakout star of Mariah's world, not Mariah. Oh Lawd. (Monday 9 January 2017; 13:30)

Re: Voicemail (71,040) (71,043) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Is Andrew bear finally coming to the path he has been accusing me off for a while now? Which is "Stella is manipulating Mariah"? Anyways now that you mention it, it might be a clever tactic. Everyone and their mother has been flooding Stella's instagram calling her nasty words and all. So she might have seen posts here about how we miss her voice mail days and got Mariah to read off a scripted monologue. I also think that this whole "sabotage" thing was an idea Stella planted into Mariah's head to cover up how Stella messed up big time. It wouldn't be difficult to plant it in Mariah's head because post-Glitter, Mariah has always been super paranoid about people stealing her idea. She has said that someone stole her idea during MIAM and then as recently as this year, she said someone just stole her idea "2 months ago", if I'm not mistaken. So since Mariah always feels a little insecure, it wouldn't be hard for her to buy into this sabotage narrative. (Monday 9 January 2017; 13:22)

Sometimes, the best advice (71,042) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Comes from old fans whom she alienated throughout her career. It's tacky copying from a comments section of some site, but in this case, the most basic, non-musical advice make sense: "1. Stop drinking. 2. Stop eating everything within sight. 3. Practice to walk on those high heeled shoes, it looks ridiculous getting carried around at your age. 4. Just because you're famous doesn't mean you don't need to practice. 5. Stop dressing like you're 12. 6. And last but not least start taking responsibility for your actions." And if I were to add anything, it would be for her to fire her current team, but we all know that ain't happening soon, so: 7. Forget about explaining the incident further. Stop fanning the fire. Drop it - the whole world has moved on and so should you. (Monday 9 January 2017; 13:17)

Mariah's World exposes frauds (71,041) by Sheila from United States I realized last night that the James Packer marriage was a sham, she has no connection with this man or any "respect". She was behaving like a single woman. The Bryan deal is 110% not believeable, I still think he's undercover gay and they said a year ago Anthony Burrell was gay and everyone was like he has a daughter blah, blah blah - and guess what? He's gay. Mariah's world should have shown her singing at the piano and she had the chance to prove to the world she could still sing. And what happens? They dropped the ball. Again. They [...] the Elusive CD with Faded and [...], and now this. She has lost her way. (Monday 9 January 2017; 11:50)

Voicemail (71,040) by Andrew from UK Am I hearing something different from everyone else? Mariah sounds almost drugged and she is clearly reading aloud something that has been written down (potentially for her by someone else). I wouldn't be surprised if Stella was there moving her finger along the words with one hand and topping up Mariah's glass with the other, so desperate to make sure people know Mariah is with her and not against her she probably is. And taking a break from social media? Mariah doesn't even do her own social media so who cares? Even if she did, "I'm not sending tweets for a while" is hardly ground-breaking. And just drop the NYE thing, nobody cares anymore. What a lot of weird tosh. (Monday 9 January 2017; 11:43)

Such a gracious person (71,039) by Terna from Nigeria Aretha Franklin once (actually more than once) described Mariah Carey as a very gracious person, she always used that word when referring to Mariah in interviews. Listening to Mariah's voice message made me see that side she was talking about. Mariah's grounded, she has that inner peace, that calm very few people possess. And when you're like that you're unshakable. She's coming back swinging and heads will roll. (Monday 9 January 2017; 11:12)

Re: Thoughts (71,027) (71,038) by Joe from United Kingdom I'm not sure whether you agree with my thoughts or not. (Monday 9 January 2017; 9:23)

Article: Mariah Carey announces break from social media (71,037) by Robin Elkins from United States We love you MC we what [sic] you be well. (Monday 9 January 2017; 5:53)

MW (71,036) by Lila from United States I just watched on tv this time because, at this point, it doesn't even matter. The episode was so blah. I liked hearing the fans talk about their connection to Mariah's music, the short beginning where Mariah was hanging out with Roc, and the karaoke moment. Other than that though, the entire episode focused on Mariah being lifted by the dancers (not actual practices just being randomly lifted and swung around), hanging out with the dancers, Tanaka's made up crush on Mariah, and his hurt knee. That's it and I am so serious lol. I would like to include Josefin but we didn't even get to see her and Mariah interact and hang out. Mariah just said some stuff about their past history (that we all already know) and that was it. I know I said that the last episode was a demarcation of the show taking a nose dive but I really underestimated just how right I was and just how much of a nosedive it was going to be. (Monday 9 January 2017; 5:36)

Hoping she chooses to focus on herself (71,035) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Not just the tour and new projects, but truly from the inside out. (Monday 9 January 2017; 3:32)

Re: Social media break (71,029) (71,034) by Licia from USA Seriously though whatever is going on I hope she's just really taking a break to get away from all the bad press. I don't even want to think it's another Glitter situation. I refuse to believe that's what it has come to. I honestly don't think she's firing Stella. If she's reevaluating her team I doubt Stella is one of the people who's going. As always I wish her the best and I hope this hiatus gives her peace and clarity. (Monday 9 January 2017; 2:41)

Re: Social media break (71,032) (71,033) by RibbonB from USA Bless her heart, I do wish her, dem babies and Nick the best. And all the best to those around them who are genuinely trying to help the situation. I am glad her industry friends have been reaching out to her, that must mean the world to her. It was weird to see even Chelsea Handler tweeting something remotely positive to MC. I notice the Brat does not chime in when they have been discussing the debacle on Dish Nation. I wish she hadn't initially been encouraging this MW mess, but maybe she thought she was being a friend. IDK what is going to happen, but I have often thought there may be a little more revealed before MW ends. More than what they have leaked over the summer. I hope it doesn't end on just scandal and "mess". (Monday 9 January 2017; 2:09)

Re: Social media break (71,029) (71,032) by Licia from USA Lol Ribbon you know someone has to post to make sure the lambs watch the "scandals". Lol. (Monday 9 January 2017; 1:23)

Re: Mariah (71,019) (71,031) by Special K from USA Angela, you made me shed a tear after reading your post. I'm worried too. We may have PTSD from 2001 when Mariah ended up in the hospital. I'm glad we heard from her though. Mariah really does feel like she was sabotaged and she is hurting. I'm glad she is taking a break (whatever that means though) and focusing on herself. Hate to speculate but I feel there is alot more going on with Mariah personally. Dealing with a divorce and ending an engagement is very emotionally draining. To me she never really took time to heal her heart after the split with Nick and just jumped into a relationship with Packer. I don't think James ever made her feel truly happy and that's why she was booking all those Vegas shows. Not trying to give Mariah excuses but like you and I've previously stated Mariah is human. I hope she does get some spiritual healing and continues to listen and take the advice of whomever has gotten her attention. How ironic if she is really listening to TM. Been listening to Looking In, My Saving Grace, and Close My Eyes all damn day. Focus on self and shake them haters off Mariah. We got you. (Monday 9 January 2017; 1:21)

Mariah Twitter voice message (71,030) by Anthony Carey from U.K Well... I didn't see this one coming, however what I found rather interesting is the way it was done. Mariah who we know doesn't control her own social media accounts yet she states she is taking a break from it? Is Mariah taking back some control? It's also interesting the way Mariah did this directly rather than using Stella or anybody else to post. I hope Mariah takes the break she needs and this has all been the wake up call she needed - from the start of the NYE episode I have said Mariah needs to realise the circus around her and start afresh. Mariah is far from stupid and in fact a lot more clever than she is given credit for, and after all what does Mariah say? "Through every storm, if you look hard enough a rainbow appears." Let's just sit tight, await what hopefully will be the next chapter and show only love and support. (Monday 9 January 2017; 1:16)

Social media break (71,029) by RibbonB from USA Lol well that didn't even last one day. I just saw a tweet from her page saying "watch MW for all the scandals". I mean if you are going to take a break from social media try not to tweet for at least 24 hours. She should at least take the passwords back from Stella and her kids. (Monday 9 January 2017; 0:55)

Article: Mariah Carey announces break from social media (71,028) by Betty from Canada It broke my heart to hear this directly from MC's twitter account, I was in tears. The lambs love you Mariah no matters what happens or what anyone says. You are the best. (Monday 9 January 2017; 0:32)

Re: Thoughts (71,017) (71,027) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Bless you, "Stella being fired", "fire Stella" and "free Mariah" are my current favorite phrases. (Monday 9 January 2017; 0:21)

Re: Media and social media break (71,018) (71,026) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I was actually thinking that maybe she got curious after what happened at NYE and then started to maybe Google herself and saw the mess Stella was bringing. I'm sure Mariah, the Mariah we know, would be horrified at her team member going on a foul mouthed rant. It doesn't go with her brand, she always keeps it classy and vague, but then again she has changed a lot in the past 2 years. Stella seems to be in Russia, or she just felt like posting a picture of Russia. What makes me doubt that Mariah has cleaned house is that Stella and her younger kid Sasha posted a picture of Mishka and Sasha with Monroe. Maybe Mariah told Stella to move out for a few days, fingers crossed. One has to be really blind to ignore all the negative things people are saying about Stella. It's not just her lambs and her previous team anymore, the whole world, including people from the industry are talking about how toxic Stella is. Mariah is smart, I hope she makes the right decision. Better to shake off the toxic family at the beginning of the year, take less work load and relax. If Mariah doesn't have to pay for an entire joint family of the Bulochnikovs and take them on multiple vacations, she won't even need to work hard to make more money. Stella kept Mariah booked throughout because of the 10% she'll get from it. (Monday 9 January 2017; 0:20)

Re: Mariah (71,019) (71,025) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Hopefully this break is her finally realizing she has taken up more than she could chew and hence needs a break to get som much needed rest. Another "Glitter" parallel is right before that she kinda overworked herself to prove she was going to succeed post Sony and this time, after Rockefeller, she again overworked herself for 2 years straight, doing everything from tours, to festivals, to TV shows, singles and promo rounds. It must be really hard on her. So I'm glad she is taking a break before she collapsed from exhaustion. She deserves it. At this point, I don't even need an explanation regarding the NYE mess, I just want her to be happy and healthy and at peace and be surrounded with people that love her and can take care of her. (Monday 9 January 2017; 0:12)

Re: Media and social media break (71,018) (71,024) by Butterfly from She has to say I'm taking a break from social media because some fans do believe it's really her posting. It's easier for M to be clear so fans don't ask where you at or please post a picture etc. (Monday 9 January 2017; 0:01)

Re: Media and social media break (71,018) (71,023) by Edward from USA Marissa, Mariah might play dumb, but dumb she really isn't. Maybe, just maybe, she's paying attention to Tommy's advice. If so, I'm glad. She needs to do all the things he suggested. Take a break, surround yourself with a more seasoned and professional team, think about your next step and then come back. Simple and wise advice. I make the advice and most likely positive outcome from this advice about Mariah and her well being, as for Tommy, thank you and keep doing your Broadway stuff. (Monday 9 January 2017; 0:00)

Voice message (71,021) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Talk about taking it back on your ass lol. I am glad that MC is taking much needed time for herself and her loved ones. Hopefully this time away from the spotlight gives MC time to recuperate from the NYE debacle and recharge her gears and put the right energy into recording some bangers, and get focused for this upcoming tour with Lionel Richie. Take your time MC, and us your true fans will be right for you no matter what. (Sunday 8 January 2017; 23:36)
