Re: Lionel Richie - joint tour (70,001) (70,025) by steven from usa She is not selling as much not because she isn't popular but because people aren't buying music like they used to. MIAMTEC debuted at #3 on the Billboard 200 with sales of 58,000 copies. That shows you right there. I think she is just as relevant and popular as she always was. (Saturday 17 December 2016; 8:37)

Re: Carpool Karaoke thoughs (70,017) (70,024) by Tyler from USA I know Mimi has been showing the boobs a lot but I don't think she was going for in the carpool segment. Sitting down in the car was a drastic difference to how she looked walking and standing up. I don't think she took the "seat belt" moments into consideration. She looked young and classy when we first saw the pictures of her walking in the ensemble. (Saturday 17 December 2016; 7:42)

Thirsty (Ground Line Remix) (70,023) by Ben from Sweden I love this remix (Saturday 17 December 2016; 6:44)

Article: Mariah Carey's reality show was re-edited (70,022) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Called it the moment I saw that lame scene. So I want to know how this is still considered a "docu-series" and not straight up scripted reality show with down right pathetic disregard for timeline. (Saturday 17 December 2016; 4:43)

Reality shows (70,021) by RibbonB from USA Here is an interesting take on how reality shows are made from Quora. This follows what I have heard from other industry people. Note big names sign off on these stories. (Saturday 17 December 2016; 3:36)

Perfect docuseries example for a famous pop singer (70,020) by Lexingz from Estonia Has anyone see Shania Twains docuseries "Why Not?" The show(up on YouTube) had 6 episodes, they showed her intimate performances, she discussed her divorce and voice problems (she had not been performing for years) thoroughly with very interesting people, like Gladys Knight etc. In the end she got her performance confidence back and was offered a Vegas show. I thought it was wonderful, very interesting and something like I wish Mariah would do in the future. (Saturday 17 December 2016; 2:50)

Re: Carpool Karaoke (70,018) (70,019) by Licia from USA Yes it was really nice the homage that they paid to her. I wonder if she regrets how she looked on camera after watching this air. These other people looked so happy to be singing a song she created yet she looked like she didn't even want to be there. I watched it twice to make sure I wasn't just being harsh, but she really looked bored and annoyed. Ribbon I died laughing watching them talk about AIWFCIY on Blackish. I was really hoping Mariah was going to pop out in the episode singing the song. Lol. (Saturday 17 December 2016; 1:46)

Carpool Karaoke (70,018) by RibbonB from USA Very nice, it all started with M. and it ends this year with homage to Mariah, the queen of Christmas. (Saturday 17 December 2016; 0:55)

Carpool Karaoke thoughs (70,017) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines 5. Lady GaGa looked really stunning here. 4. Adele does a good whistling Mariah impression. 3. Perhaps Demi decided to come after Mariah right after filming this because she knew how "stanky" Mariah would be months later when she films her own parts. Clairvoyant. 2. It's just sad when everyone else seems happier and way more interested than you are in singing your own festive song. She did at least sing more than she did on her first segment, though. 1. Still, top 10 here we come. (Saturday 17 December 2016; 0:51)

Mariah / Nick (70,015) by Tameka walker from United states I think it is great that they get along for the sake of the children. Say what you want about her but at least she is making a conscious effort to get along with the father of her children to give them the best possible childhood ever. I really do respect that. (Saturday 17 December 2016; 0:15)

MAC collaboration (70,014) by Gigi from USA Why hasn't Mariah done any interviews about her collaboration with MAC? Or have I missed them? Her makeup collection is beautiful and I would love to hear how she came up with the colors, packaging, etc. Heck, it would've been nice to even see Kristofer Buckle apply some of it (especially the highlighter that I bought because I have no idea how to use it properly). I feel like this is a missed opportunity, because fans and non-fans would've paid attention. I'm glad it has sold out, though. (Friday 16 December 2016; 23:43)

Re: Mariah's World (70,012) (70,013) by RibbonB from USA Also, regarding MW. If this show is only going to be based on these characters and themes, what a wasted opportunity, but many of us already sensed that. From what they have leaked and tried to highlight, I don't see any growth or development from Mariah. All we have seen is an inept manager trying to showcase her "stellar" skills and introduce her family and other assorted staff and their drama. Hopefully there will be more to it than staged fights, flirts, and other lame crises. They could have replaced James with more touring, singing and songwriting footage, that is more the makings of a documentary. (Friday 16 December 2016; 23:25)

Re: Mariah / Carpool Karaoke (70,011) (70,012) by RibbonB from USA This show is scripted and staged. It doesn't make it real. They are leaking stuff to try to draw maximum interest, especially since ratings are not great. The final outcome will tell the tale though. But honestly, if they are putting in mess from the cutting room floor, then they imply that it was already filmed and why would she have done any of that if she were really engaged in the first place? The additional footage is a redirection. I still call all staged start to finish. Whatever happens, she should go into the next year and her new tour with herself and her children as the focus. IMO she would be doing herself, her children and her fans a disservice to do otherwise. (Friday 16 December 2016; 23:09)

Mariah / Carpool Karaoke (70,011) by Giselle UrbanPoshBeauty from US of A I knew all along that she edited her "Mariah's world" show duh Perez all lambs knew that. How in the world did they remember a "secret handshake" from 2006 when he was just one of her many backup dancers on tour. Plus, the dress she was wearing was a dead give away. This whole relationship is dumb but it's her life if the whole Nick relationship didn't teach her anything then shame on her. The karaoke her part was stiff and I'm so sick of Mariah poking her big fake boobs out all the time. Seriously she lives in a bubble and if Stella was all about female empowerment like she keeps throwing down our throats then she should be a real friend and tell her she looks reiducilous and is getting to old for this attention seeking. I'm so over Mariah personally I'm just waiting on new music and just pray she comes back stronger in every way. (Friday 16 December 2016; 22:19)

Christmas Challenge (70,010) by Haiji Toro from USA I honestly don't really care about her as a person anymore, but the music will forever live on. I'm not sure why I still want to support her music on the charts, I guess it's more of my dream than hers at this point. It's like I'm living vicariously through her lol. So as a way to help her "Christmas" song up the charts, I asked my niece (whom has almost a million followers on many social media sites) to create a "Christmas Challenge" with her boyfriend to AIWFCIY. Hopefully their video will spark others to do it as well and become viral. Not sure if this was a good idea but I guess we'll see. I'm sure this challenge has been done in the past, but new videos for this year should go well. (Friday 16 December 2016; 21:49)

Blackish / AIWFCIY (70,009) by RibbonB from USA Blackish the TV show made the funniest reference to Mariah and her Holiday classic this week. I am sure Mariah would find it funny. The older couple thought she wrote it way back in the day and are debating about it with their son. I love the time traveler joke. Page down a bit on their twitter page for the post. (Friday 16 December 2016; 21:10)

Re: Carpool Karaoke (70,002) (70,008) by MusicfanJ from Germany Hit Radio FFH (a well-known station in Germany) just shared the Carpool Karaoke. Everybody loves it here. Yes her ensemble were mentioned but not in a rude way. AIWFCIY is a favorite Christmas song by so many non-fans. (Friday 16 December 2016; 20:14)

Re: Carpool Karaoke (69,986) (70,007) by Marissa from USA Overall I loved the video and thought it was a nice, festive tribute to the most legendary Christmas song of all time, but I did notice that her energy was a bit "stank" just like the first time she did the segment last year. Actually no, her energy was better in the first segment and people even dragged her for that. I don't know if she just doesn't like James Corden or what, but every time she does this segment, it just seems like there are "a million trillion things that she'd rather f***** do". Slightly disappointing from someone who always brags about being a fun, festive 12-year-old. On a positive note, she sounded very good singing. (Friday 16 December 2016; 19:59)

Article: Carpool Karaoke turned into a star-studded sing-along (70,006) by director75 from USA What's actually interesting is that most of the other singers had trouble singing it too. Both Gaga and even Adele go a little flat at parts. Just goes to show you, it ain't easy being Mariah. (Friday 16 December 2016; 19:29)

Re: Carpool Careyoke preview (69,987) (70,005) by IfWeeeeee from Over There I wasn't surprised that she was stiff and looking bored in the carpool karaoke, she has become joyless which I find ironic since she wrote and performed one of the most festive christmas songs in the entire history of mankind. Oh well. I loved Adele and Lady Gaga for singing their hearts out - they were a joy to watch. (Friday 16 December 2016; 18:24)

Re: Carpool Karaoke (70,002) (70,004) by MusicfanJ from Germany I liked Adele too, she's funny. And Lady Gaga was rocking the song. Mariah seemed a little bored, maybe she was tired. The comments about the breast on YouTube are hurtful as always. (Friday 16 December 2016; 18:16)

Carpool Karaoke (70,003) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I was so pleasantly surprised that James planned on this for so long. Getting almost all big names from Adele to Sir Elton John to dance and groove to this song, brilliant. I was so proud of Mariah's songwriting that it transcends generation and there is hardly anyone who doesn't know the song or doesn't like it. I hope this goes viral (and there is a good chance it will because it has everyone from the youngsters - Selena, Demi, Nick to the established artists - Gaga, Stefani, to straight up legends - Sir Elton John). I wish Justin Bieber was also included but hey, the line up was already awesome. Seems like Madonna and JLo decided to sit this one out, especially JLo, because Madonna's one was shot after Mariah's so obviously she wasn't in it, but JLo probably said no, or maybe Corden didn't even bother asking. Anyways I hope this also helps AIWFCIY to reach a new peak, in addition to it already doing so well in airplay and streaming. I will however have to agree that Mariah was super stiff and it was weird because everyone (even Elton John, who is much older) was dancing and grooving away. I mean come on now how can you not groove to that song Mariah? I don't know why Mariah sometimes has that posture where she seems like there is an invisible neck brace on her, that keeps her neck stiff. Also dahlin' even though we knew that she has a bra underneath, it almost looked like she was naked under the jacket haha. The left boob was almost aiming for emancipation. (Friday 16 December 2016; 18:06)

Carpool Karaoke (70,002) by Manny from U.S. I liked the part almost at the end when Adele covered her ear and pretended to hit a high note (a la Mariah). It had me laughing. The whole thing was cute. (Friday 16 December 2016; 16:26)

Re: Lionel Richie - joint tour (69,988) (70,001) by Tyler from USA No one 25 years plus into their careers are expected to sell consistently throughout. Look at people like Usher, Christina, Britney and Alicia Keys. They haven't been in the game half as long as MC and they've been flopping for years. I'd suggest going to a MC concert. I've attended two concerts this year and she has an extremely diverse audience. She attracts males, females, gays, straight, blacks, whites, teens to the mature. Check out her social media accounts. Just because she isn't selling like the 90's it doesn't mean she doesn't attract a diverse crowd. (Friday 16 December 2016; 16:19)

Carpool Karaoke (70,000) by Terna from Nigeria The best one yet. I was pleasantly surprised. Sir Elton John and Red Hot Chilli Pepper were part of it guys. Music Royalty right there. Loved Adele, Lady Gaga and Stefani. Also the "for Saint Nick" part where both Demi and James point to Nick Jonas. Lol. (Friday 16 December 2016; 16:16)
