What's wrong with MC (110,688) by ADAM from USA
If she was going to have this sluggish facade and lack of enthusiasm about her new material she should have stayed home. As much as I anticipated new music I feel like if she's not going to be sincere and excited to be here then what's the point? Maybe I should file this under another cash grab to fund her diamonds and yachts this Christina's season. It's becoming her calling card

Wing beneath my wings (110,687) by Dove from United States
I was thinking about that song Wind Beneath My Wings. Someone sang it at a talent show when I was a kid and it always stuck with me. Mariah, if she ever does get another serious romantic partner, needs someone who is going to be the wind beneath her wings. I say "if" she does because I've noticed in myself and some of my friends as we get older, we feel less of a need for one. Maybe she feels the same.

I like how Kelly Ripa's husband took a backseat to her career and focused more on being a husband and father rather than chasing the spotlight. She needs someone who is going to accept she is a very bright star and isn't going to try to block her light. Tanaka seemed like he could be that but then I didn't like how he was pretty much asking for both jackets at Balmain when his luggage was lost on her reality show. I get that when you're dating someone rich they can afford to spoil you but they weren't even dating yet. It was a reality show, so maybe it was all staged.

Ew which reminds me of the annoying little daughter of the manager. When we said her team needed the young kids to tell us what's cool I meant the cool kids. Sorry to rip on a kid but that girl was as bad as her mother. Another grifter trying to block Mariah's light.

End rant.

What's wrong with MC (110,686) by Bobby A from United States
I am sure MC has a lot on her mind right now with the U.S. promotion coming up, TD and SS chart and radio perfomance, album rollout, and how HFIA will perform when it is released. MC has a lot to grapple with, but she basically keeps it all inside. We will never know what she is going through because she just pushes through.

Tirzepatide (110,685) by Dove from United States
I just remembered I was on Tirzepatide for a few months earlier this year (to help me lose a few pounds) and I was so tired. When I wasn't at work I just wanted to be at home laying down. I wasn't getting good sleep so I was always tired anyway, even though I was "resting" so much.

A lot of celebrities are using weight loss injections right now so it could be that. I didn't even want to clean. My one meal a day was take-out so I wouldn't have to clean the kitchen, it was that bad.

What's wrong with MC (110,684) by Dove from United States
I kind of wish she would be open and transparent about what's going on with her so we would know she's not being drugged against her will like Brian Wilson and Britney Spears were. It could be nothing but it could be something.

My ADHD got a lot worse when I hit perimenopause. Maybe something like that happened with her too. I haven't seen her with a champagne glass in her hand all the time like during the Infinity era. A lot of people with mental health issues (I guess, I don't know what to call it) self-diagnose with alcohol, and sometimes other drugs, so this is not me blaming her for liking her splashes or anything.

I want to mind my own business but (almost) everyone minded their business with Brian Wilson and Britney Spears for so many years and look what that did to their brains.

I hope she's just tired because she hit menopause, or some medication she's taking (with good benefits that outweigh the bad) is making her lethargic. If she came out and said it, we wouldn't need to be worried.

And yes, I know she's a celebrity but some of us have been following her since childhood and she feels more like a family member than a stranger. She's given a lot to the world.

I'm glad Brian Wilson found a sweet partner to take care of him in the 90's up until he died this year. I wish Nick would have been that for Mariah instead of the self-serving narcissist he turned out to be. How disappointing.

Selena Gomez came out and talked about the changes in her weight and demeanor being caused by medication she needed. I don't follow her super closely or anything but I remember seeing her talking about it and it made me feel more at ease about the changes in her personality. Like, at least there's a legit reason.

What's wrong with MC (110,683) by Zachariah from Croatia
You are onto something. I feel the same. She looks great, finally has a team who is working behind the scenes but she is sending vibes "please, leave me alone and let me be home in my pyjamas".

What's wrong with MC (110,682) by LambyMP from Usa
I can't help but think something is wrong with M. It's written on her face. She's acting so different. Still loving the new era. But somehow I feel like we are loving it more than she is. Am I wrong?

Mariah's best videos (110,681) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
Oh gosh I didn't know Nick directed that. Well good job because I love every shot. I know he gets hate for the "Up out of my face" video because people say it looks like an ad for Target but I really enjoyed that video too. Matches the playful nature of the song.

Vanguard Award - JLo? (110,680) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
She did have another one - My Love Don't Cost A Thing but what's hilarious is just a few years back she tried to start a "trend" to celebrate its anniversary where she wanted fans to recreate the part of the video where she keeps taking off stuff she's wearing one by one and walking away and only 1 person participated. Everyone else was like "I don't know her".

Jennifer Lopez has really only one truly award-worthy video and that's "If You Had My Love". The rest are pretty average. Mariah has many iconic ones. Here's my top 5:
1. Heartbreaker
2. Honey
3. Butterfly
4. Touch My Body
5. My All

Mariah's Vanguard (110,677) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
Mariah would quickly but sternly correct you to "It's Type Dangerous dahlin." I forgot to add in my list I also really enjoy the ABMB So So Def Remix (or was it called the Mr Dupri Remix) video. The black and white one with her wearing a beret that was used for the actual cover.

Mariah vs Marilyn (110,676) by Tijl from Belgium
In a way Mariah can be considered as the Marilyn Monroe of pop music:
- Fighting their way up coming from a dysfunctional background.
- Both have an inate sensiblity of how to reach out to their public by being authentic and pure.
- More than often considered as created by some "Svengali" strong man in the background despite a blatant and honest talent. Scrutinized and mocked as just a pretty girl with a strong man making it happen for them while in fact both women were steadily pulling the strings behind the curtain, very much aware of their impact on their fans.
- Strong of heart yet very sensitive and a profound will to be taken seriously. (Marilyn joined the Actor's Studio and founded her own production company. Mariah still has to explain she writes and produces her songs.)
- Both iconic and unique. Often imitated, never duplicated.
- Unfortunately Marilyn came to pass at a point when she was about to really come into bloom (the exact cause is forever a mystery and very much debatable). Mariah has hustled and fought and she is still standing but still deserves more respect.
- Both are forever.
In my humble opinion.

Article: Mariah Carey to receive Video Vanguard Award (110,675) by Stacey from USA
TTR is visually stunning especially with all the sunflowers at the end, an obvious homage to her dad Alfred Roy. Some of my favorite videos are:
Heartbreaker
ABMB
ATYNAF remix
Obsessed
Joy to the World Celebration Mix
Fantasy

Mariah's best videos (110,672) by Tijl from Belgium
My favourites:
- "Honey": The song and video that made me a fan. I love the camp yet stylish approach, the storyline, her looks, dem Gucci heels. Although I have a preference for the BB remix video.
- "The Roof": No explanation needed.
- "I Still Believe": She never looked better. Mariah is at her best when she pays tribute to old Hollywood (her performance at the MTV Movie Awards with WBT... on a side note ).
- "It's Like That" and "We Belong Together": I love the story arc crossing over, fantastic production value and pow looks.
- "Up Out My Face": Her ability to take the mickey, starting off as dolls in a box. Underrated as a video and as a song.
- "#Beautiful" 2nd version: I love, love , love this song. Only Mariah can make dancing in a stable filled with chandeliers feel wholesome. She looks fan-bloody-tastic.
- "With You": Sensual and touching. Those shots of her in the white robe by the window...
What about your picks?

Vanguard Award - JLo? (110,671) by BFF from United States
"If You Had My Love" and "Waiting for Tonight" were pretty great videos, not gonna lie. I think it's absurd that Jennifer Lopez received the award before Mariah, but Lopez definitely has a couple of great videos. I will also cop to liking some of her songs even though I don't think she's a good singer and think Mariah is far more talented.

Vanguard Award - JLo? (110,669) by Matty from Vancouver Canada
I'm sorry, this didn't meant to be a "I don't know her" moment, but when I think of artists with iconic music videos, what video of JLo is iconic? I remember her in a pink hat in the I'm Real video, her dancing with Diddy in one of his videos and then a brief flash of strobe lights in the On the Floor, aside from that they are generally all just the same formula of video from the early '00s.

Music video idea (110,668) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
BGK was such a visual song like you could really already picture the music video. I don't know why she never released it and gave it a single treatment.

Mariah does not acknowledge time so there would never be a younger version of herself being played by someone else. Just saying.
