Re: I'm so happy with what Stella said (70,948) (70,965) by Lila from United States Calling someone a relic is not putting him or her in his or her place, when the person calling the name is a complete idiot who has no experience at all at the job they've been hired to do, hasn't been able to do anything for their client but a bunch of cheap endorsements, and is just making a mess of things as the days go on. Better to be a relic than an idiot. I'm not a fan of Tommy but Stella, you don't have a leg to stand on and let's not even start with gender. Not only do you support Trump, when you speak, you remind me of just how much you could be his long lost daughter. He speaks idiot with finesse and so do you. If you were a man, no one would applaud you. You'd be the same idiot, with a penis attached. Lastly, you're never right, only rude and disgusting. When a person is in the right, he or she doesn't have to resort to being rude or nasty. The only thing you did was show us all how pressed you were over Tommy's comments about you, and the rest of your useless family members, same as how pressed you were over Mariah's ex-staff members calling you out. Hit dogs holler. (Sunday 8 January 2017; 2:05)

Re: Alpha-Tella? (70,961) (70,964) by Edward from USA Ribbon, Mariah referred to Stella and Mary Ann, in one of the episodes of "Mariah's Gang", as being "Alpha Females" hence their men attitudes. Then she implied she was one too. That's the last episode I pushed myself to watch, but I'm done with that mess. Licia, you're lucky you didn't even try. Now with paid actress Molly, things are even more of a joke. (Sunday 8 January 2017; 1:56)

Re: Tommy Mottola (70,926) (70,963) by Terna from Nigeria Well, she has indeed stood the test of time now hasn't she? (Longevity.) And Tommy, how come he never found another big artist on par with Mariah or even bigger? I mean he tried it with Jlo but we all know how that ended. How come he faded away after she left? Tommy didn't make her the biggest star, that was predestined with the massive talent she possesses, it was inevitable with or without Tommy. Take note he was the one who ran back to the party with her demo tape in hand and consequently all round New York searching for the mysterious girl with the golden pipes, not the other way around, he had to beat other record executives to the chase. Mariah also wrote the hits not Tommy. She (all caps) is the mastermind, the one with the gold touch. The common denominator in all Mariah Carey's success is Mariah Carey.

(70,962) by Vicki from United Kingdom Does anyone else feel like one of the best things Mariah could do for her career is hire a decent arranger/musical director? Yes we got served some strong live vocals at times in 2016 but it's obvious that she employs some lipping so presumably whatever she can do in the studio her voice and/or confidence is not able to recreate full 90s vocals in a live setting. That's fine. We all know her voice has changed for whatever reason(s). And it's sad that she seems to think that her fanbase won't accept anything other than a recreation of every original studio recording. We know how musically talented Mariah is, why not release herself from that straight jacket and rearrange some of the hits to suit her current range? Change the key, adlib, vamp it up a bit whatever. It would be interesting to hear and give her more room for manoeuvre. She'd hardly be the first singer to tacitly acknowledge a changing vocal range by performing her old hits slightly differently.

Alpha-Tella? (70,961) by RibbonB from USA Edward, I don't even know what that means, but it made me cackle out loud. Ding, ding you win. You just let Crustella have it didn't you? I don't know if she is posting here, but hopefully she gets the message. (Sunday 8 January 2017; 1:34)

Re: Mariah Carey's legacy in critical condition (70,940) (70,960) by Terna from Nigeria Andrew pookey bear, I never ever read your messages your negativity is contagious and that lengthy essay of a reply to me was no exception. My A.D.D kicked in the moment I saw it was you. Now, I said what I said and stand by every word. Her legacy will remain untouched, unscathed and Mariah will be remembered for decades to come as one of the best to do it. It's already even happening. Does the phrase "All I want for Christmas" ring a bell? Now sit down [censored]. (Sunday 8 January 2017; 1:23)

Re: I'm so happy with what Stella said (70,953) (70,959) by Edouard from France You're right about the class act thing but in this day in age, you have to be tough. Maybe it's all part of the plan so that Mariah never appears to be rude and Stella takes the s----. (Sunday 8 January 2017; 1:23)

Re: Stella, you've revealed yourself (70,954) (70,958) by Dennis from Miami, FL I don't think that is Stella. She's too busy ruining Mariah's career. It must be "Mariah's social network manager" Mishka. Or Sasha. (Sunday 8 January 2017; 1:15)

Biopic (70,957) by Dennis from Miami, FL I really hope that Stella will fail with the biopic. I don't believe she can make it right. It would be another trashy project. It's 15-20 years too early and Mariah's saga is still going on. I hope she will abandon the idea. (Sunday 8 January 2017; 1:08)

Re: I'm so happy with what Stella said (70,948) (70,956) by Dennis from Miami, FL That would be a damn good speech for the defense in the court. Not guilty. Sorry. Not rude. Release the defendant. (Sunday 8 January 2017; 0:59)

Re: I'm so happy with what Stella said (70,948) (70,955) by Andrew from UK I have had many French friends, thus I feel qualified to say this: you don't write English like a French person. I thought Eric was going mad. But there's something not right here. Whether the demon or her young spawn: Vous n'êtes pas qui vous dites que vous êtes. (Sunday 8 January 2017; 0:59)

Stella, you've revealed yourself (70,948) (70,954) by Edward from USA MesStella, stop pretending, will ya? You've been the worst thing that has happened to Mariah, the worst. Her career is at an all time low because you don't know shit about music or how to manage her brand. This is Mariah f**king Carey we're talking about. I know you have a few sycophants on this board, for all I know they could be accounts created by your family. When you're long gone, we'll still be here. I just hope you don't take Mariah down with you. You are unprofessional and an asshole, you don't have manners or decorum, you shouldn't even be even called a woman, Alpha-tella would be better. Hurry up and keep giving out interviews, we're loving every minute of it. The more you talk, another nail goes on the coffin of your career. (Sunday 8 January 2017; 0:41)

Re: I'm so happy with what Stella said (70,948) (70,953) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands It's very funny what Stella Edouard said: "And let's be honest here. She's not that rude," when she uses the F-word in almost every sentence. I can't stop laughing. I think a class act deserves a class manager. (Sunday 8 January 2017; 0:32)

Mariah's World (70,952) by Danny from Uk Funny how they had to plan a European world tour, bring some corny dancers in, hire an assistant that I really doubt Mariah would tolerate, make a Kardashians wannabe her manager and plan fake parties and then expect us to think this is Mariahs World. Oh maybe it is. (Saturday 7 January 2017; 23:51)

Tommy Mottola (70,950) by Butterfly from He'll be on the Today Show on January 17 to promote his musical. I betcha Matt Lauer will ask about Mariah. I can't wait. (Saturday 7 January 2017; 23:42)

Re: Basically (70,911) (70,949) by Edouard from France I don't know that. Let's see what happens with the new music. I believe MC knows what she's doing. (Saturday 7 January 2017; 23:41)

I'm so happy with what Stella said (70,948) by Edouard from France Okay she's rude but so damn refreshing. Don't forget that that we never really (I mean really) know what happened with Tommy other than what Mariah dared to say (remember she once said they had a legal agreement). Something terrible must have happened. I'm glad Stella put him in his place since Mariah can't for many reasons (legal, and she probably has better to do anyway). They are a team. They would be man [sic], everybody would applaud her. So what if she's rude, if she's right? And let's be honest here. She's not that rude. Just a bunch of f---- here and there. That's all. (Saturday 7 January 2017; 23:38)

Re: Comeback (70,921) (70,947) by RibbonB from USA Lol Mimi L. she could call her next project "Freakshow". But really, she should really write some back to basics songs in 2017, songs with great music and lyrics. Perhaps she can write a song or two with Lionel, Big Jim? But this might be a good time for her to employ a good team of songwriters to tailor some songs for her. She has been all in her feelings and we aren't sure what they are or who they are about at this point. I hope her next music project is gimmick free, no shade, no stunts, just really great songs. I think the three movie deal is not all in one year, but over time, but even Crustella admits they won't get one done by February. And she is supposed to have a song for each movie. Mariah needs to slow things down a bit and fully embrace each new venture and fully prepare to slay each event. (Saturday 7 January 2017; 22:54)

Re: New Year's in New York (70,941) (70,946) by Mike from FL, USA Good point, Andrew. MC is certainly on everyone's radar right now, even if it is due to negative circumstances. Assuming the old adage is true and there is no such thing as bad publicity, she has the perfect opportunity right now to stage a comeback attempt whilst most of the public think she's at rock-bottom. This is all hypothetical of course as I don't believe many, possibly any, of the components required for a successful comeback are present in Mariah's life at the moment. Back in 2003-2004, you could have never made me believe that Mariah would be back on top again. I didn't write her off myself, but the public perception of Mariah during the "Glitter" fiasco was just ugly and I never would have imagined she would have a career resurgence, so hey, anything is possible. (Saturday 7 January 2017; 21:50)

Giving up on MC (70,933) by Dennis (70,945) by Sheila from United States Yes honey, love Mariah for the good and bad, appreciate your comments. (Saturday 7 January 2017; 21:03)

Article: The deterioration of Mimi (70,944) by RibbonB from USA She speaks the truth and with great compassion. I especially love the last paragraph and this sentence. "If Mariah Carey wants to resurrect her voice she must first repair two other things: her physical health and her spirit." I really hope she does both the inner work and and gets some good plain old exercise in so she can renew. I love that the writer calls out Brett Ratner as a sleazy so called friend. (Saturday 7 January 2017; 20:06)

Re: I can't believe (70,930) (70,943) by RibbonB from USA A lot of people like "mess". This is the era of Trump winning while being a "shallow, bottom feeding hustler of the nation". Mariah is catering to a certain demographic. According to Stellar it is 12 year olds, who have time to spend on the gram I guess. But they won't be buying those Lionel tickets or paying for anything directly, so there is the disconnect. M. and this circus may appeal to the social media devotees, but not the the general paying public. (Saturday 7 January 2017; 18:57)

Mariah's World (70,942) by Andrew from UK Mariah's World has descended into farce and I won't watch anymore of it. It was a nice idea, but it is not what I thought it would be. It is, like many things Mariah does of late, a lie. (Saturday 7 January 2017; 18:43)

New Year's in New York (70,941) by Andrew from UK Aside from being very dignified in her handling of what happened, the other positive from NYE was a reminder of just how truly globally known Mariah Carey is. The story was everywhere, and everyone was talking about it. It was in the top 10 of news stories read on the BBC website for over two days after it. Quite remarkable. In part, yes, I think it's because people don't like her and rejoice to see her fall. But, whatever the reason, I am not certain that if it had happened like that to another artist it would have been such a big global story. However, I am certain, though, that some lowly goat herds in the middle east were plotting Jihad whilst debating earpiece-gate. (Saturday 7 January 2017; 18:41)

Re: Mariah Carey's legacy in critical condition (70,910) (70,940) by Andrew from UK Honeypie, cutie, baby, sweetie pants: the buses don't stop around your neck of the woods, do they? Whilst your devotion to MC is fantastic, constantly trying to pretend that everything is as it was and that no damage has been done is delusional at best and retarded at worst. Mariah does indeed leave behind a great legacy of outrageous achievements, a catalogue that defies expression in less than a dissertation and not-often-paralleled global success. But the memory of a person is often about what they did not achieve or failed in or their negative attributes just as much as what they did achieve or succeeded in or their positive attributes. NYE was a catastrophe on a global scale, despite the gracious and dignified way she handled it. Yet this isn't her downfall, per se, as the downfall has been quite slow and progressive. Many things over the past few years have been completely awful (which I think was one of the first things I ever posted here) and have contributed to a public opinion of Mariah that would score her only a few percentage points in a poll of music artists. Mariah is now seen as a somewhat of a dimwit, stuck up, cheap jewellery flogging, titty-revealing, billionaire using, shade-throwing lip-syncer by a great, great many people. Add in the sad denouement of Mariah's World and there you have it: indeed, Mariah will be remembered for her stellar music career, but in exactly the same thought or sentence she will be remembered as a bit of a joke. She has done that to herself. Nobody else. So be truthful, at least, just for once. It doesn't mean you love Mariah any less, it just means you're not deluding yourself in a comfort blanket of false hope and misrepresentations which is a way of living that most people find contemptible. Basically, come live with the regular people on the bus routes. You get to appreciate and understand the world for what it is, not merely what you wish it to be. (Saturday 7 January 2017; 18:34)
