Anaheim concert (77,617) by Special K from USA It was great to see Ms. Mimi again in concert. I enjoyed it and it was cool to see just as many Mariah fans as there were Lionel fans. Overall Mariah sang very well. Hero and VOL were her best vocal moments. Now there were moments when Mariah's voice cracked and you could tell a back track was playing but for the majority of the time Mariah sang live. Glad she showed EMC2 some love. Actually, Mariah performed better at this concert than she did at the Essence festival. Must be those dorritos and pop tarts. (Tuesday 1 August 2017; 01:32)

Re: Just for the nostalgia (77,614) (77,616) by Lila from United States I never understood how some fans arrived to it meaning Kiss Kiss Lover Boy when they said it to one another, not just Mariah saying it to Nick. It would be strange for him to refer to her as "lover boy". I remember some fans would say it to one another when they had no clue what it meant, though. It was crazy. (Tuesday 1 August 2017; 01:31)

Re: Anaheim (77,612) (77,615) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter She has been showing E=MC2 a lot of love lately by randomly singing several songs from that album, so I'm hoping she's been listening to that album and have some fun songs in line. I love that album. (Tuesday 1 August 2017; 00:49)

Re: Just for the nostalgia (77,611) (77,614) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Some used to think it's "Kiss Kiss Lover Boy" but we don't know. One of the greatest mysteries of the world. (Tuesday 1 August 2017; 00:47)

Re: Fat Oprah (77,610) (77,613) by Edward from USA I hope you don't ever go to stand-up comedy show then. You would die from a heart attack. I didn't understand it at first, but I learned it the hard way. I walked out of a stand-up act at the Apollo because I thought the guy was being too racist. I wish I hadn't. Then I realized that the people who he was being racist towards stayed happily there. Comedians will make fun of everybody, from handicap people to fat Oprah's, it's what they do. And I'm done talking about fat, I've gained like ten pounds just from reading all these heavy weight posts, including mine. And besides, Mariah would lose like 40 pounds if she got rid of her polyps and nodules, there's not excuse. (Tuesday 1 August 2017; 00:43)

Re: Anaheim (77,599) (77,612) by RibbonB from USA I liked that song. This is one time when I have no idea what kind of music Mimi will put out next. I hope the next one is great. (Tuesday 1 August 2017; 00:31)

Re: Just for the nostalgia (77,609) (77,611) by RibbonB from USA Good one. Has anyone ever figured out what KKLB means? They at least have kept that particular vow of secrecy. (Tuesday 1 August 2017; 00:27)

Re: Fat Oprah (77,572) (77,610) by RibbonB from USA You're just being Petty Labelle. My point on mentioning Oprah is she in fact has been beloved, but also fat shamed her entire career. You forget the iconic In Living Color skit from the 90s. Years later on her show, the Wayans family heartily apologized for being so mean. Making an excuse of blaming the butt of your jokes for your comments doesn't justify it. Own it, lol. (Tuesday 1 August 2017; 00:07)

Mariah was banned from playing Scrabble (77,608) by Edward from USA Mariah's CD's inserts were to be read with a dictionary at hand. Even Walter never cared to look up the word "emblazon" in the dictionary, lol. He asked the hosts in an interview a couple of years ago if "emblazon" was even a word, he should've known better. I've always thought her lyrics had more depth from Mariah Carey up to Charmbracelet. After that she kind of became more playful with her lyrics. Maybe she ran out of deep things to sing about. Mariah was a true inspiration in the 90's, not only as an artist, but as lyricist. I do miss that too. Those simple yet poetic lyrics were to die for. It wasn't even about the vocal acrobatics. Songs like "Looking In", "Outside", "Petals", "My All", "I Only Wanted"... the only and only, Mariah Carey. (Monday 31 July 2017; 23:06)

Cameron? (77,607) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Just saw this photo of MC backstage and look who's her, Cameron Diaz. Haha, remember when Cameron was being a B with an itch and said something like torture to her is being tied to a chair with Mariah Carey music being played? Then later I think Mariah said that she was once a little tipsy at a restaurant, when she spotted Cameron and she went up to her and gave her a piece of her mind. So I'm surprised to see her standing there, but then again she and Nicole are good friends and she is married to Nicole's brother in law. (Monday 31 July 2017; 21:54)

Re: Mariah (77,605) (77,606) by MusicfanJ from Germany I miss the eloquent Mariah too. I can't understand that at a very young age she talked so clever and eloquent. And yes very mature. You had to love her. The past years most interviews are about diva topics or commercials. Superficial topics. I mean how can a young Mariah talk more eloquent than now? Normally grown-ups talk better than tweens. Is it really just a role? I want to see more of the person Mariah not only the diva. (Monday 31 July 2017; 21:40)

Mariah (77,605) by Manny from U.S. Someone mentioned they missed how Mariah spoke more eloquently. Some weeks ago I was watching some old interviews from the 90's. She did sound smarter and more mature. Back in high school, my vocabulary did improve with some of her lyrics and words she used. It would be refreshing to hear a recent interview where she speaks on deeper issues, not just about her diva antics. It sometimes bothers me when she has a neutral stance. Come on girl, grow some balls and speak your mind. (Monday 31 July 2017; 21:12)

Re: The Star (77,596) (77,604) by 123 from USA I also heard she collaborated with Marc as well. I think Lyron accidentally posted it and quickly took it down. You know how Mariah is about leaks. If it's Marc, it's a hit. He is Walter's replacement in my eyes. (Monday 31 July 2017; 21:02)

Re: Fat shaming (77,577) (77,603) by B from USA She'll lose the weight slowly but surely. (Monday 31 July 2017; 20:22)

Re: Just for the nostalgia (77,590) (77,602) by B from USA Rancid. (Monday 31 July 2017; 20:14)

Re: Fat shaming (77,592) (77,601) by B from USA Mariah isn't fat. Yes, she's thicker now than she was a year ago but she's admitted several times that she's struggled with losing weight and keeping it off since she gave birth. Lets not pretend her weight hasn't always yoyoed. (Monday 31 July 2017; 20:12)

Re: Anaheim (77,595) (77,600) by B from USA I also feel this tour has inspired her. I think it's shown her why people loved her in the first place and how a team is supposed to function. (Monday 31 July 2017; 20:08)

Re: Anaheim (77,595) (77,599) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I loved her entering to "Next time I'm gonna come on harder, don't step on this heat, don't bother", while being wheeled in on that throne, I was like "Yas Queen" haha. "Heat" is definitely one of her her most ahem, trash talking songs, I love it haha. It's like she's warning her critics that she'll come off the heels and hit them. Kidding, but it was great. I also love that Stella and the crew has been kept on the down low so far as to them actually going on a short vacation alone, that hardly ever happens. It'll be great if they are being "slowly but surely" being phased out. (Monday 31 July 2017; 18:07)

Article: Mariah responds to bodyguard's injury claim (77,598) by Matthew from USA Still would prefer it if she hired a chef. There would be lots of benefits to it. She could specify meals with a calorie limit and then let the chef be as creative as they want. She would have delicious meals prepared for her that are also healthy. It would also cut down on expenses, since she wouldn't have to pay for the whole entourage to eat at fancy restaurants every night. The drawback is that if she stayed at home, she and Stella wouldn't get papped every night, and she wouldn't get a chance to dress up, which are both things she seems to enjoy. But hiring a chef would be better, since you can't really control caloric intake if you are eating out every night. It's hard to lose weight when you are poor, since you often have to work instead of exercise, and eating healthy is often more expensive. But Mariah doesn't have any of those excuses, so there's a little less sympathy here. We know that if she really wants to get into shape she can, like she did for Touch My Body.

Re: Star (77,588) (77,597) by Stacey from USA Oh sure. Teaming up with the right person could make this song epic. (Monday 31 July 2017; 16:46)

The Star (77,596) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) I am anticipating this song because MC's Christmas music is top notch. Also I read she wrote and produced this song with Marc Shaiman and honestly these two together have created some great work together. (Monday 31 July 2017; 16:28)

Anaheim (77,595) by Shezz from Pk New dresses. New intro. Never before performed Heat? Even if it was short it made for a great new intro and I really didn't mind her wheeling in on that throne. I think this tour is somehow inspiring her. (Monday 31 July 2017; 16:20)

Re: Star (77,583) (77,594) by Shezz from Pk I think so too. Plus it's thankfully not a JD track. It is a collaboration with Marc Shaiman so it should be special. (Monday 31 July 2017; 16:16)

Mariah talking about her weight in 2015 (77,593) by bliss! from Brazil I choose to believe Mariah is super self conscious about her weight, but lately hasn't put "natural" efforts to get back in shape, which is understandable, sometimes people are not ready or focused enough to sacrifice some pleasures. Or maybe she feels good about herself the way she is now? I remember this quote from an interview to Daily Mail Weekend on May 2015 and I loved how honest she was when she spoke about her weight gain: "I was bedridden for a while, but I didn't really want to talk about it because I was worried I wouldn't regain the use of the arm. Being stuck in bed was terrible but I had really good physical therapists who came and moved the arm up and down for me to retrain my mind in that muscle memory. I got through it but it wasn't easy." She shakes her head and sips her wine. 'I'm still recovering from it now in terms of getting my body back to where it was. Before that I was in a really good place and I think, why?" She slaps the extra inches of flesh she's trying to shift in the way we women do. Then she shrugs. "There's a reason for everything and that's how I look at it. Last year was not a pleasant year for me, but I've had unpleasant times before and it hasn't stopped me." (Monday 31 July 2017; 15:27)
