Biopic (108,761) by MusicfanJ from Germany

Yes and it's ridiculous "avoiding wrinkles". There is no avoiding with nature. A healthy lifestyle is good, luck with the genes and that's it. And people who age relaxed are the best. They have the best charisma. To be fit and healthy (as good as it's possible) should be the goal.

Biopic (108,759) by Bobby A from United States

31. A 7am GMA or Today show is too early for my voice.

Great gowns, beautiful gowns (108,757) by Lambi from USA

Yes she looked like she stepped right out of the "I Still Believe" music video with her ponytail. So youthful.

Great gowns, beautiful gowns (108,755) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia

Looking at all the pictures of Mariah performing in Shanghai, all I can say is that her stylist has step up the game and able to pick dresses that carry the classy image. Even her ponytail makes her look neat, clean and current. Big hair is so yesterday. Great gowns beautiful gowns. That's all.

Interview (108,754) by Lambi from USA

Mariah literally said in an interview she trained herself not to squint to avoid forming lines. Her whole brand is not acknowledging time and being eternally 12. As age catches up, of course she will go through lengths of avoiding it AKA not having much facial expressions when performing. Why is everyone so behind?

It's the reality of aging plus being heavily sedated. She's barely holding it together. Pat and Alison dying on the same day was not an accident. "Hollywood Babylon" is a great book to go deep into if you want to know what they do stars who try to get out of big corporations.

I saw the post this morning. I had to do a double take to make sure that I did not write that post in my sleep last night. Lol.

I'm cackling and maybe I shouldn't because I need to stop my aging process at 30.

What did Mariah mean? (108,750) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

Maybe her mother. I don't think she meant her siblings.

What did Mariah mean? (108,748) by Philipp from Switzerland

in September 2024, Mariah was interviewed by Vanity Fair. Mariah said the following. What exactly do you think she meant by that? Her siblings maybe, and her mother?

Vanity Fair: The book felt very honest. Looking back at it, are there things you left out that you wish you hadn't?
Mariah: Some things are just too much. But there are some things in the book that I wish weren't in the book. Not that they were wrong or that they were inaccurate. But you learn later: Oh, I shouldn't have done that.

Vanity Fair: Because it hurt people in your life?
Mariah: Because it potentially hurt people in my life. I don't know, because I don't talk to certain people in my life.

Biopic (108,747) by Edward from USA

It all makes perfect sense the way you explained it. She barely moves and keeps a straight face because clearly, she got Botox even in her knees too, on top of the fact that she's on the early stages of her defrosting phase, so moving would be very painful and cracky. And of course, since Glitter was such a traumatic event, she’s been taking a nice, honey IV like running seven year stroll toward this biopic. I'm about to cry.

It's like I just had a big fat epiphany. How did I not see this sooner when it was right there in my face? Maybe the overhead lighting in my head, but now: I can see, I can see.

Now I finally understand, she’s been writing one song per year since 2018, so by 2030, we’ll have a full 12-track album just in time for her retirement party.

Biopic (108,746) by Lambi from USA

Mariah's probably been heavily involved in her biopic. She's posted pictures with Lee Daniels. It's coming out some time soon. With her barely trying to be convincing when she lip syncs - it's quite obvious. She just doesn't want wrinkles to develop faster. At 56, aging has caught up with her. She's doing everything in her power to slow it down. Mariah is all about how she looks. I mean she quite literally didn't care if she was being given a tribute by Moni and Tori, it was bad lighting when Mariah was in the frame. And she will not hesitate to show her dismay. All lambs should accept that this is just who Mariah is. This is just how a beauty queen ages. She's touring and showing up and takes the time to pre-record. Nobody can say she didn't maximize her time. Musicians usually retire from performing by their 60's. We are four years away from that. So just enjoy what ever she can scramble to offer at this point. She literally devoted her whole entire life to music.

Slow moving (108,745) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia

Yes I agree. I've been thinking about it ever since. She refused to move and always looking confused because she's so busy looking at the monitor to decipher the color coding of the words which one is live and which one is pre-recorded. Plus, she's always wearing heels that are too high and too small for her shoe size. That's all. Off stage she is normal as usual. We can see that from all her instagram story. So nothing to worry.

There is no album, it's all facade (108,744) by Norman from USA

I disagree that she's creatively and artisticly bankrupt. I do think she's bored out of her mind and that she's allowed herself to believe her own pr.

Someone like Mariah doesn't run out creativity; they mostly run out of steam and hunger for what they initially wanted from their career. You don't write, produce, and arrange all of those #1 albums and singles and suddenly run out of artistry. You tire of it. Her heart hasn't been in it for a while now.

I also think artists that reach the pinnacle of success she has (much like MJ, Madonna, Elvis, etc.) will at a certain point rehash their glory days thinking it'll stay current forever.

I think she could find the spark again if actually wanted to. Idk what would get her interest again, but of all the artists of her caliber, she's always been the most versatile and capable of making it happen.

New Mariah album (108,742) by Edward from USA

Mariah could bundle her albums with concert ticket sales, it is a common practice. She could also release music digitally only, but she's alienated her fans over the years by not staying consistently engaged. As a result, many have left the fandom. No one expects her to sell millions of albums anymore, even today's top artists rarely do. Nowadays, an album can hit number one with relatively low sales compared to past eras. Releasing an album every two to three years could have kept her core fanbase more connected and loyal.

Exactly, wrong singles and uninterested videos. I still have a bitter memory for Migrate not being released as a single with a proper video. Ugh.

Slow moving (108,739) by Malcolm from Asia

I believe that the reason why she's not moving as much as she was 2 years ago is because she's being cautious to avoid making mistakes in her lip sync. This is a new era where the concerts are 90% lipped, so as much as she wants to be carefree, she can't because she might miss her cues.

There is no album, it's all facade (108,738) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

I don't think she's lying about working on music, but I also don't think she's as invested in making an album. What I mean is as a songwriter she must constantly be getting tunes and lyrics in her head and she probably writes it down or does a quick demo but never actually goes full into production. I'm deducing this from her saying she has 10 songs she just needs to add vocals etc. I also think after the flop of her last few projects she's scared of releasing new stuff because no matter what people think numbers are a big deal to her, it's her flex, so she's scared of losing. But what she should know is her last few albums didn't flop because of lack of quality, it was because of wrong single choices and bad videos that no one would rewatch.

Deeply concerned (108,737) by TJ from Norway

I think the overdose of botox during years makes her face expressionless. I know alot of people that ignore the danger of putting poison into their flesh and how it will effect them when they do it.
