About 123 from USA:

Love Takes Time 6/8/16 (63,161) by 123 from USA Nice vocals for opening nice. I like the new look and dress. Glad she is not wearing that old wig anymore. I like how she continues to stay consistent with giving good vocals and better stage presence. (Wednesday 8 June 2016; 20:23)

Mariah talks with "The J Show" (audio) 6/7/16 (63,136) by 123 from USA Well ok for Mariah doing phone ins again to radio stations to promote a project. Nice. I like this interview. MariahRaw posted two others as well. Another confirmation straight from Mariah that she is recording new music in Vegas. (Wednesday 8 June 2016; 8:17)

Re: Nick Cannon responds to TMZ (63,097) (63,131) by 123 from USA Hello Ribbon B. I don't believe JP is a prop. I believe he is silently running the show. He did introduce her to Stella and had something to do with the Vegas gig. I'm waiting to see what this new team can push an album out properly with heavy promotion and well timed, seamlessly flawless releases of new music. They have managed what no other manager since Benny has been able to do which is promote. You see Mariah on every morning show, prancing in and out restaurants where paparazzi hang out for press. The only thing that is missing is her singing live on some shows. If she continues to care for her voice and sing like she has been, she should have no problem making comeback with quality music. I like that she is recording during her Vegas stint. Hopefully her Vegas sessions will bring something special. (Wednesday 8 June 2016; 4:17)

Mariah Carey arriving and leaving after taping JK (63,053) by 123 from USA It was nice to see her take pics with fans here. (Monday 6 June 2016; 0:54)

Mariah Carey on new music (63,052) by 123 from USA Looks like she has some producers already lined up to work with her. (Monday 6 June 2016; 0:49)

Mariah Carey talks about J-Lo (radio interview) (63,025) by 123 from USA I will say, that on one is asking Mariah to be like anyone other than herself. The only reason people mention other artist's recent displays is just to give an example that it can still be done currently. All these things that people are asking for are positive behaviors and characteristics she has displayed in the past. Mariah seemed to try to somewhat get past it during the Charmbracelet and completely during TEOM. It seems like when Mariah was riding high she seems to let the petty drama go, but when she is in a career slump she seems to become petty again. Was it because Benny was managing her at the time? And for those that say Mariah should and would never look to JLo in anyway in regards to her career well she did hire her manager and had a huge career comeback with him. Since he has managed both of them and back with JLo hasn't he had a conversation with each of them about each other and the "beef". JLo saying Mariah was "forgetful" was a straight up "read" that references Wendy's commentary about Mariah's "fragile" state of mind. I don't blame her for finally clapping back, but she knows Wendy's shady ass would try to drudge up old drama for ratings. In my book, meeting someone is not knowing them. An acquaintance at best. So the "I don't know her" was warranted, even the shady part, at the time. Fast forward to 2016 and this is getting old. To me Mariah is just using the shade to make her relevant again as for some reason, "shade" seems to have finally hit mainstream and all the kids on social media seem to be obsessed with it. The young stars do it, but is very beginner's level, but when Mariah throws out her master class shade all the kids latch on to it, if only for a moment, which helps make her relevant. It's funny because she has been doing it for so long, but only now has caught on with the general public. Mariah has said nice things about JLo and I just would prefer her to stay consistent with what she said in this radio interview. (Saturday 4 June 2016; 21:39)

Re: Glam Mariah (62,986) (63,011) by 123 from USA I always wondered why we haven’t seen her in any major campaign in a while, especially for a big label. The only time I remember her doing anything was with Pinko, anyone remember that back in, 06 maybe? If you noticed, she dressed better during her campaign. With all these side hustles this would be one that would make more sense and that could actually benefit her singing career. A song placed in the commercial perhaps? (Saturday 4 June 2016; 7:37)

Jimmy Kimmel (63,010) by 123 from USA I loved her on this show. She didn't ramble or primp much, and instead of putting on the diva act for a gag, it almost sounded like she was having a conversation with her friend. She was very funny, which people don't get because they think she is being serious when she puts on her diva act, no one gets this gag except her fans. She looked great in that green dress and her body is smoking. I didn't see it as laughing at her, but rather with her when they did the bathtub skit. I think most people thought she was too much of a diva to actually get into the tub in a full gown with expensive jewelry and actually get wet. But she was a good sport and jumped right in. I liked that Jimmy went along with getting fed grapes as well. I felt this moment made her likable. I was watching the interview with a non-lamb and they had a positive reaction. "She seems to be having fun and enjoying life. I'm glad she isn't taking herself to seriously and got in the tub. She's funny." She seems to get more relaxed and being more herself instead of continuing to push a joke that no one gets. (Saturday 4 June 2016; 7:27)

Re: Interesting article (62,925) (62,927) by 123 from USA So it's Packer who is behind all this change. She met him and soon after their involvement he introduced her to Stella, and possibly got her the Vegas deal. I hope all of this touring that she is doing is not to help fund the "billionaire's" Aon Casino project. He is struggling to raise the money himself, but the Mariah Carey brand can still generate a lot of revenue. (Wednesday 1 June 2016; 23:10)

Re: Interesting article (62,752) (62,901) by 123 from USA Good article RibbonB. You know when they were all out oddly at dinner for the photo op I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Mariah is in business with Packer. This quote seemed to point me to this conclusion from the article. "Management and support for North American investments and assets. Responsible for CPH's North American business development and investment sourcing and execution. Current investments include Nobu restaurants and hotels, RatPac Entertainment and the future Alon Casino and Resort Las Vegas." Nobu is a restaurant in The Ceasars. I wonder if he helped her get the residency. I wondered when this new casino project would be done since I wondered if she would take on a residency there and ran across this.

Re: Mariah's $tyle (62,889) (62,893) by 123 from USA Yes, the real person in Mariah's camp that needs to be replaced asap is not Stella, it's Mariah's stylist. She needs a new one, yesterday. Why is there a new nip slip article like every other day? Isn't the stylist supposed to make sure that doesn't happen? I don't think that this is on purpose as that would be extremely tacky and desperate. I know nothing about fashion but I know when something lacks. (Wednesday 1 June 2016; 3:01)

Promotion (62,877) by 123 from USA It may not be the most orthodox method of promotion but at least she is out there. TMZ is really promoting her show. (Tuesday 31 May 2016; 7:44)

We love the New Mariah Carey (TMZ TV) (62,876) by 123 from USA She is a constant feature on TMZ now. She gets a lot of mileage on their show. (Tuesday 31 May 2016; 7:38)

Lee video / Kelly and Jussett show (62,875) by 123 from USA I thought the Lee and Mariah videos were hilarious. I'm glad she is finally clapping back. Wendy has said so many lies about Mariah and has profited with ratings because regardless of Mariah's relevancy, her name is always top billing. I'm glad that Mariah is returning the favor by purposely responding to have Wendy respond and promote Mariah's new show by the not so subtle tag. Does anyone remember when Whitney finally clapped back. The Newark came out. Wendy made sure she watched what she said as Whitney told her, "If I was back at Newark, I'd meet you outside, but I'm a lady." Probably my favorite Whitney interview. All these TMZ videos catching Mariah's "candid" moments outside the restaurant, getting into a car, and cussing while talking to the paps, are all just staged press moments getting her the mileage she wants to help promote her show. I'm not mad at this new method of promotion. As long as she makes sure she attaches music with these upcoming projects. If the semi talented starlets of Hollywood and reality show personalities can do it for promo, so can Mariah. I liked her segment on the Kelly show. I just want her to stop running this shade towards JLo to the ground. I wouldn't mind if she actually went into the real reason why she doesn't like her but she doesn't so everyone thinks she is just jealous and insecure. Since she doesn't, she should just take a more diplomatic approach and keep it moving. Besides, it was Tommy who orchestrated it. She was just a pawn, if it wouldn't been her it would have been another artist. (Tuesday 31 May 2016; 7:31)

Everything but the music (62,723) by 123 from USA I understand everyone wanting new music as I want it too, but the reason why we haven't gotten any new music is simply because she hasn't had time. There is no point in rushing something out only for it to fail because everything isn't right. Look at the last album, she had a lot of potential hits and there was barely any promotion and she barely performed. When she did perform, she was stiff and the vocals were bad. Now she has lost the weight and she is finally focusing on the part of her music career that has needed improve on for the last 6-7 years, her live act. Her performances were scarce and iffy during that period. Now she is constantly performing and touring. She keeps improving with each performance and seems to have a new focus on taking more care of her voice. Fans from all over the world have more access to see her perform in the flesh either on tour or in Vegas. I think she needs to continue Vegas and go on a South American leg of her tour so she can continue to improve her performances. That way when she is ready to drop new music she will vocally be able to deliver great performances live for tv. After the tour she needs to work on three hot songs that can be potential singles. Release something in the fall to coincide the with the docuseries. I'd be cool with that for now. (Friday 27 May 2016; 8:00)

Re: Lee's video (62,704) (62,722) by 123 from USA Thanks for posting about it May. Some of us are not on social media like myself so I had no idea. I loved the video, and why is Mariah reprising her kicks from the Heartbreaker video? Lol. Glad there is no drama between them, as his comments were not meant maliciously. (Friday 27 May 2016; 6:40)

Mariah's World / SA tour / Hallmark (62,603) by 123 from USA Regardless of any future project Mariah has coming, no project (no matter how bad) will ruin her legacy. Her status as an iconic legendary vocalist is set. She isn't on top right now so there is no where to go but up. Even 2014's isolated vocals haven't stopped her from selling tickets in Vegas or her tour. Mariah's World seems tame to other reali- I mean reality based shows out there. Usually the promo has the most ratchet moments playing to draw people in and if Mariah saying she has a rule about fluorescent lighting the most scandalous thing, I'm sure it will be fine. Even Wendy Williams agreed with her, how odd as she usually uses these moments to throw a cheap shot. Looks like she might be doing a South American leg of her tour. I hope it's true so her SA fans can finally see her and she continues to condition her live vocals. Looks like Mariah's World will debut in the fall along with a Hallmark project and new songs to each Hallmark project so something is coming in the fall music wise. One thing for sure is at least the new team is keeping her booked and making money. (Tuesday 24 May 2016; 5:38)

TMZ / videos (62,601) by 123 from USA I thought it was funny as well as I could tell that Mariah and the camera man were joking with each other. Of course TMZ spun it that she had a diva fit at the mere question of someone singing for her at her wedding and everyone commenting on Yahoo believed it (just nasty comments) saying how dare she say no one, she is full of herself, egomaniac, the usual comments. At this point they are always going to paint her as a diva and everyone believes it anyway, no matter what she does, so diva away. I didn't particularly care for her cussing in front of a teenager but she has been exposed to more than cussing at this point. The instagram videos don't bother me as they are just kids being silly, poor Stella doesn't look like she knows how to twerk that "big ole thang". (Tuesday 24 May 2016; 5:25)

Re: Celine, Mariah and the Icon Award (62,592) (62,600) by 123 from USA I second Giovanni's comment Marissa. (Tuesday 24 May 2016; 5:14)

Re: New pictures (62,472) (62,480) by 123 from USA I'm sorry Mimi L that was a typo. I'm either typing to late at night, to fast, or um, had a few splashes. I meant, and where is James? Why would her dancer accompany her to this big yearly event and not her fiance? Mariah knows this is causing speculation that he is the side piece. He may look nice and have "swag on fleek" but you can tell he wants fame and his pockets cannot afford the lifestyle she lives. I hope she knows he is a snack not a keeper. James seems to genuinely love her. I would hate for Wendy to be right and they not marry after all. (Saturday 21 May 2016; 18:55)

The most overrated MC song and what's better (62,470) by 123 from USA Keeping track so far. This would be an interesting set list for a fans concert. Throw in maybe a few more uptempos for good measure. So I would replace Heartbreaker as she hasn't pulled of some of the original notes in years, I would love The Roof instead. The Roof Fly Like A Bird/Through The Rain Loverboy When I Saw You Close My Eyes Shake It Off Do You Think of Me I Stay In Love Don't Forget About Us (got voted as overrated and better) (Saturday 21 May 2016; 8:43)

Re: New pictures (62,453) (62,462) by 123 from USA Why is that dancer in the limo with her and James? Hmmm. And is this the same prince that has those yearly parties with all the big American celebrities because if he is, he looks way different. (Friday 20 May 2016; 23:52)

Re: TMZ (62,405) (62,421) by 123 from USA Did you see the clip where she is being interviewed on the red carpet at the GLAAD awards and Mishka was standing in the background purposely without camera range and kept peering into the camera. She was looking like she wished she was being interviewed. I'm like, her friends are going to make fun of her with this clip when she gets older. She looks so thirsty. (Friday 20 May 2016; 5:22)

Re: After show (62,395) (62,419) by 123 from USA No problem Mara. (Friday 20 May 2016; 3:50)

After show (62,373) by 123 from USA Here is a link to the after show for WWHL. (Thursday 19 May 2016; 5:15)
