Re: Mimi and Remy (73,934) (73,941) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Nicki and Eminem collaborated in 2010, a good couple of years before her "feud" with Mariah. Rihanna, who Mariah still praises worked with Eminem too, so what's your point? I mean had Nicki gotten with Eminem on a shady track after her fight with Mariah, it would have been a different story, where it could have been made to look like Nicki is teaming up with Eminem to bash Mariah. But that's not the case, if anything it was a diss track for Li'l Kim. Mariah herself has acknowledged that she thinks Eminem is a talented guy, so it's not surprising that Nicki, who was a relatively new rapper at that time, would want to collaborate. This is in no way the same as Mariah suddenly dropping a random track with Remy (which sounds amateurish as heck production wise) during a time when this whole feud is hot news and both Mariah and Remy have history with Nicki and now they team up suddenly on this half baked song. Like they wanted to cash in on this so fast that they didn't even get the time to write a darn new song to release? Come on now. (Saturday 25 March 2017; 00:15)

Re: I Don't no-mix (73,930) (73,940) by May from Denmark I thought it was like a fresh demo or wip when I listened to it the first time. Is it really the final version? What's happening with the quality, it's embarrassing. (Friday 24 March 2017; 23:37)

Re: Article about Mariah and politic statements (73,924) (73,939) by Licia from USA Is it hard to believe that maybe she supported him because him being elected was historic and more than likely won't happen again in the US? Also she did post a few tweets supporting Hilary. Shame on you Mariah for supporting a historical moment. She should have done a song for that Oompa Loompa we have now so she won't seem biased. Lol. Anyway, clearly whomever wrote this article doesn't pay attention to social media or just didn't do proper research because they would not have added her to the list. (Friday 24 March 2017; 23:27)

Celine Mariah Aretha (73,938) by Mirage_Nunez from America Shady or not, Mariah's point is very valid. Generally speaking it's just in bad taste to try to outshine someone while singing with them on their own song. Yes you sing to compliment them, and sing well on your parts, but to go toe to toe with them, and try to take over the last note in the climax is kind of ungracious and competitive. Carole Kings commentary on the performance spoke to Aretha "hogging" the song and Celine vocally "standing up to her", but in reality they both didn't allow Carole to get a verse in and was taking over the song. Now it did sound amazing (my favorite rendition of that song to be honest), but the point still remains. Mariah was never a competitive singer/duet partner even in her prime she was humble and gracious about her voice, so I doubt that she was jealous of Celine's voice being in better condition that night or whatever. Now I am a Celine fan, love her, thinks she's angelic, and completely lovable (but nobody's completely perfect), so this is not hate toward her at all. I just think every diva has a "diva trait" and perhaps competitive singing was hers that night. And that's okay, it's forgivable. (Actually I was never mad about it. You don't have to be super defensive of her about this topic. I will say I believe Celine did take the cristism well because when she sung Emotions with Destinys Child a few years later she actually held back and allow Beyonce to take the high note at the end.) See, still a wonderful person. (Friday 24 March 2017; 22:55)

Remixes (73,937) by Manny from U.S. I always wondered why "I still Believe - Pure Imagination" was not part of the Remixes album? It's my favorite remix. I was so disappointed when I saw it was not part of it. I also like "My All - Stay Awhile" and "Thank God I found you (Make it Last)". The last remix I actually liked was the HATEU remix. I actually didn't know there was a remix of it until years later after album was released. That sample "My Boo" brought such nostalgia. You can tell she took her time with those remixes. Now, it is like a copy and paste job. I am insulted. Does Mariah think we will not notice? I was going to rant on Stella but it's Friday. Next time I guess. (Friday 24 March 2017; 22:46)

Mariah and success (73,936) by Todd from Melbourne, Australia Does anybody else ever get the feeling that Mariah is under the impression her singles are really successful? That she's maybe getting fed Photoshopped Billboard screenshots from her team? And constantly being told by that headlice of a manager that she's at the top of her game and the charts? I can't help but think if she was aware that "I Don't" pretty much disappeared from iTunes charts overnight, she wouldn't have even considered this remix, or the one with Bieber for "Infinity". Both could have been called "The Flogging of the Dead Horse Mix". (Friday 24 March 2017; 22:34)

Remy vs. Nicki (73,935) by Terna from Nigeria So I was late to the party, and just found out Mariah actually does watch Wendy Williams's show (even though she refuses to go on it lol) because it was Wendy who suggested Mariah hook up with Remy just to spite Nicki. My problem with this scenario is, it does come across as Mariah trying to use the situation for relevance, she should've stayed out of this beef (you're music royalty Mariah, not ratchet and classless like those two, act as such). Secondly, the remix isn't that good either. The comments on Facebook are brutal. (Friday 24 March 2017; 22:18)

Mimi and Remy (73,934) by Mirage_Nunez from America Well didn't Nicki collaborate with Emimen on "Romans Revenge" after doing "Up Out My Face" with Mariah? That's why I could care less if people think it's a shady move, because whether it is or not Mariah has every right to collaborate with whoever she wants to on a song. I haven't heard the remix yet, don't think I really need to to be honest. I do love the original so that's enough for me. (Friday 24 March 2017; 22:17)

Re: What Mariah should have learned from Whitney (73,915) (73,933) by Terna from Nigeria It's the recordings on wax that live on forever and get rediscovered by generation after generation, even long after we're all gone ("All I want for Christmas" for example). Anything after that is just extra. And Mariah's smart and knows that. Not live performances, nor television appearances. 10 years from now the television programs of now won't even be remembered. (Friday 24 March 2017; 21:58)

Re: I Don't no-mix (73,922) (73,932) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter It's worse than that. Her remixes for Memoirs like "Inseparable" and "Ribbon" were cut and paste jobs but they blended in well, they added to the songs and didn't seem pointless. The remixes actually sounded like collaborations, a duet, a back and forth. This one just sounds like they abruptly stop the song mid way, Remy does her verse and then the song abruptly starts again and the verse adds nothing to the song at all. Like I said in a previous post, literally sounds like Mishka used a free online software to just put in a sound clip phoned in by Remy and then released it. (Friday 24 March 2017; 20:59)

Remix (73,931) by Butterfly from If it's not re-sung I don't care for it. And my top 5 Mariah remixes: Always Be My Baby, Honey, We Belong Together, Heartbreaker and I Still Believe. (Friday 24 March 2017; 20:59)

Re: I Don't no-mix (73,918) (73,930) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The remix is beyond trash and sounds like something they just recorded on their iPhones and used those online amateur softwares to just paste it on the original track. Pre 2015 Mariah would shudder at the thought of this being passed off as a remix. Even WYM is a gem compared to this (WYM wasn't all that bad, just too many features) since at least she bothered to change things up and re-record her vocals. This is by far the most embarrassing stunt pulled by Mariah since now there is no doubt she wanted to dive into the Nicki drama. No one can tell me this was just an artistic decision, because where is the art though? (Friday 24 March 2017; 20:55)

Re: Mariah and Remy (73,917) (73,929) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Honestly I'd love nothing more than for Stella to continue being more stupid so that all her future job prospects dry out but that would affect Mariah more since no one gives 2 craps about Stella's trash and her equally opportunistic family members. All I hope now is Mariah realizes what Stella is doing to her brand and just changes things up. (Friday 24 March 2017; 20:51)

Re: Mariah and Remy (73,916) (73,928) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ya I made a typo, I meant Nicki not Remy. I corrected it in a post later. (Friday 24 March 2017; 20:48)

Re: The Beautiful Ones (73,906) (73,927) by Stacey from USA One of my favs for sure. The whole haunting vibe of the song is genius. Plus, she blends so well with Dru Hill. Such a masterpiece. (Friday 24 March 2017; 19:10)

Re: Celine, Aretha, and all that stuff... (73,907) (73,926) by Stacey from USA Nope, you can't fake that stuff. That's why I dismiss the whole Celine was rude to Aretha argument. I couldn't believe this topic was resurrected either. Leave it alone already, lol. (Friday 24 March 2017; 19:09)

Re: "I'm free" vs "If it's over" (73,896) (73,925) by Stacey from USA K, you know it. I have a CD player. You know we're old school in my house. My 8 year old daughter empties the dishwasher. What does she turn on? Daydream of course. (Friday 24 March 2017; 19:06)

Re: Article about Mariah and politic statements (73,901) (73,924) by Andrew from UK FML lol you don't wanna go there, Carlos. Suggest Mariah's ever so slightly in favour of one race over the other and you're a racist yourself on here, no matter how much the public have been saying it for years. (Friday 24 March 2017; 19:03)

Re: The Beautiful Ones (73,906) (73,923) by Lila from United States I love the way Prince sings it but I love the way Mariah sings it even more, especially with Dru Hill accompanying her. It's very sublime. (Friday 24 March 2017; 17:40)

Re: I Don't no-mix (73,910) (73,922) by B from USA I haven't listened to the I Don't remix but I'm assuming she used the same formula she's been using since the Memoirs era of copy and paste. Which is ruining her legacy as the queen of the remix. The last decent remix she released was #Beautiful with Jezzy. I want classic Mariah remixes not copy and paste remixes. (Friday 24 March 2017; 17:38)

I Know What You Want (73,921) by Butterfly from This Busta talk got me watching the IKWYW music video. What a great video. And this is what I call a collaboration. Busta and Mariah did a great job and Flipmode Squad added so much to the song. (Friday 24 March 2017; 17:02)

James (73,920) by Butterfly from She's still wearing his ring and necklace. That Bryan thing is also part of whatever she's trying to accomplish. And why is she still staying in LA? I hope she's not crazy enough to think James is going to pay her 50 million and new house in LA. Something is very fishy about this whole situation. (Friday 24 March 2017; 16:47)

Re: The Beautiful Ones (73,906) (73,919) by Anonymous from My most favorite MC song ever. Simply a masterpiece. (Friday 24 March 2017; 16:43)

Re: I Don't no-mix (73,910) (73,918) by RibbonB from USA Mariah's twitter mentions are in a shambles. The general response is this remix is trash. I didn't bother to listen. Oh well, at least Stellar is also getting the brunt of it. Oh and Areola Grandes is hilarious, too funny. (Friday 24 March 2017; 16:40)

Re: Mariah and Remy (73,909) (73,917) by Lila from United States That last part is what gets me. Not just that she'd be involved in encouraging Mariah to do something so stupid, but the larger picture of Stella's stupidity. There's no guarantee, at all, that she and Mariah will be together forever. A few years from now (hopefully a hell of a lot sooner than that), she could be Mariah's next I Don't Know Her. Yet, she continually does stupid shit that burns bridges not just for Mariah but for herself too. She seriously doesn't think about the fact that people are looking at her also and remembering her as the loud mouthed idiot, constantly making/encouraging poor actions and decisions. That includes those she could potentially want to do business with. Then again, I've always been one who has not hesitated to point out the fact that none of Mariah's circus are bright.
