Re: Mariah's brand/image (62,822) (62,828) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I agree, the video was pretty sloppy and looked like an amateur job. I didn't like any part of it and using clips from "Honey" was unnecessary since it had no relation to the song. I remember at that time there was this rumor that she is doing a video that involves action and helicopters so I thought maybe they are doing an Agent M 2.0 so that would explain the old clips, but that turned out to be false. Why Mariah thought it was good enough to put out is beyond me. That's my views though, I would like to hear B's view. Why did you think it was brilliant? I want to know because I might have missed something and I sometimes have a change of heart when I hear another person's perspective different from mine. (Monday 30 May 2016; 1:36)

Re: Mimi L. (62,819) (62,827) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ya or "Collectively 12" since they all want to remain 12. Poor Sasha has to be 12 without even turning 12 yet. (Monday 30 May 2016; 1:30)

Re: Clapback at Wendy Williams (62,726) (62,826) by QueenLambassador from Portugal Mariah is finally giving that person a reply. She should do it more often because that person came for Mariah so many times before. (Monday 30 May 2016; 0:55)

Re: Parallels between MC and Riri's career (62,802) (62,824) by QueenLambassador from Portugal So some of you prefer that Mariah makes maketable music to stay on top of the charts instead of making her music with her lyrics and her input? Are you people for real? Question: Do you like Mariah the artist or Mariah the chart topper? Giovanni knows. Mariah is different because she does things her way. Her legacy is out there, she will be a reference for several generations. Rhianna will be forgotten. In 20 years time lets see who's song will play. (Monday 30 May 2016; 0:49)

Kimmel (62,823) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah will be on Kimmel's show on June 2nd. (Sunday 29 May 2016; 20:26)

Re: Mariah's brand/image (62,816) (62,822) by Malcolm from Asia But it doesn't mean the video was great. I can't elaborate why but I can tell that it isn't beautifully crafted. The usage of random photos of cars and boats in the part of "why you tryin to play like you're so grown" alone is a no no. I only like the "infinity"/purple parts but the rest looks patchy. This is one example of a well executed lyric video. (Sunday 29 May 2016; 17:57)

Re: Divas Live 1998 (62,790) (62,821) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Ok this will be my last post on this topic (before I continue I just want to say despite varied viewpoints on her vocals I really do absolutely adore Mariah's performance that night). I'm well aware Mariah held back and stayed in the background out of respect for Aretha. I have seen all the interviews about it and I don't take what she says as a huge slam or bash against Celine. I have always taken it as Mariah stating her views, her opinion on the approach to singing with a legend period. Mariah and Celine had different approaches to the same thing. Why shouldn't that be ok? I have never understood this in relation to this discussion. It doesn't make one person right and the other wrong. MC is not wrong for choosing to hang back, and Celine isn't wrong for singing a couple riffs. It's not like she took over the whole song and it clearly wasn't planned out. A huge part of performing is what comes out right there in the moment with passion and heart. (Sunday 29 May 2016; 16:42)

Stacey (62,820) by Giovanni from USA You're obviously in denial and delusional to not see Celine was definitely trying to take the spotlight and out do Aretha. When I first saw "Divas live" I said said to myself, "Sit down Celine you look like a fool." "Best believe you wouldn't have tried that with Patti." She would have shut you down easily." Haha. Mariah was the real star that shined that night. The "Make it happen" performance was amazing and probably one of the best performances of the song. She looked iconic and legendary. (Sunday 29 May 2016; 16:12)

Mimi L. (62,819) by Giovanni from USA Why not just name the new album "Externally 12". (Sunday 29 May 2016; 15:57)

Re: Parallels between MC and Riri's career (62,802) (62,818) by Giovanni from USA "Top notch producers and songwriters"? Didn't her latest album flop? Rihanna isn't a real artist or singer. She doesn't have one iconic, legendary song in her whole entire catalog that will be remembered 20 years from now. No legacy no influence. I'm done. (Sunday 29 May 2016; 15:56)

Article: Scientology goes Hollywood (62,817) by peterpaul from Ireland Mariah loves Jesus. I hope it stays that way. (Sunday 29 May 2016; 15:22)

Re: Mariah's brand/image (62,772) (62,816) by B from USA The Infinity lyric video was genius and has more views than the official video. (Sunday 29 May 2016; 15:04)

Re: Parallels between MC and Riri's career (62,802) (62,815) by B from USA She isn't as big as she was just a few years ago. Last year proved that. [...] (Sunday 29 May 2016; 14:55)

Glitter (62,814) by Mariah from Us Okay so this has nothing to do with any of the recent posts on this board, but did anyone notice that Mariah is crying in almost every scene of Glitter? Like her crying on que is on fleeck. (Sunday 29 May 2016; 14:04)

Re: Divas 96 (the trinity, in memoria) (62,805) (62,813) by MC1989 from Spain Yes the show was a bit dubbed. There's a video of The Reason on YouTube in which Carole King almost ruins the song because she's outta key. Anyway Mariah's performances on that show are among my favourites of her career. Her stage presence, her voice, the hair everything. (Sunday 29 May 2016; 12:18)

Re: Scientology (62,810) (62,812) by RibbonB from USA Yet you wear the very devil as your avi and we know what that makes James. (Sunday 29 May 2016; 12:08)

Re: Scientology (62,810) (62,811) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Isn't "Eye of Horus" and the pentagram the symbols of the Illuminati? Or has the Illuminati and Scientology merged now? I don't think Stella is involved with these though, she is just a wanna be Kardashian who is trying to get some fame at Mariah's expense. Expense includes monetary situation too. That and a bad influence for Mariah and her kids. Plus isn't Nick deeply religious? How can he be involved with Scientology? (Sunday 29 May 2016; 12:03)

Scientology (62,810) by THE TRUTH from USA So I guess nobody here has figured this out yet but it's pretty glaringly obvious. Mariah's Scientology minder is Stella, previously it was Nick Cannon who came out of the whole [censored] Nicolodeon realm. I could go back further into the whole history but let's save that for another time. Interesting that Stella is so above board about sporting her Eye Of Horus ring, and pentagram necklaces. Hollywood is really in the toilet. Do some research, it's not rocket science. (Sunday 29 May 2016; 10:31)

Re: Divas 96 (the trinity, in memoria) (62,798) (62,809) by Stacey from USA I couldn't agree more. (Sunday 29 May 2016; 10:13)

Re: Celine, Patti, Aretha, and all that stuff (62,783) (62,808) by Stacey from USA Haha, thanks for the reply, Deedre. I can always count on you for a fair opinion. I've watched Divas Live 1998 plenty of times. It was a great concert for a great cause. This idea that Celine was trying to make it about her by letting fly with a few riffs is ridiculous. Talk about creating drama out of nothing. Even Carole and Randy's commentary back that up. Anyway, I've spent too much time on this already. (Sunday 29 May 2016; 10:13)

Re: Stacey (62,779) (62,807) by Stacey from USA To me this is all just a bunch of much "ado about nothing". I just got done watching a bunch of videos (before I saw your post Nikki) from Divas Live and I gotta tell you, it looked like Celine was just having fun during Natural Woman (and especially during Testimony). She's back there dancing with Shania, Carole with Gloria, all having a good time. Honestly, I don't get why some are getting worked up over drama that IMO just isn't there. They all were on stage having a good time. If Mariah held back because she deemed such a choice respectful of Aretha, then fine. That's her opinion and choice. It doesn't make Celine disrespectful for choosing to enjoy the moment by letting a few notes fly. Aretha had more than enough solo time. Please. This whole notion is so unfounded. Peace.

What would (When) I Feel It replace (62,806) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Remember (When) I Feel It? The gorgeous soulful 70's track that didn't unfortunately failed to make the final tracklist of TEOM due to the sample of The Dynamic Superiors' Here Comes That Feeling Again being revoked at the last minute? I personally feel that it is much stronger than some tracks on the album and would have made TEOM a stronger set. Let's say this problem never existed - if you were to choose which track it would replace on the said album, what would it be and why? Choices: A) Because. B) None, TEOM is perfectly fine as it is. C) Why on earth should we stick to 14 tracks? Make it the 15th, or at least include it on the re-release, dammit. (Sunday 29 May 2016; 9:59)

Re: Divas 96 (the trinity, in memoria) (62,798) (62,805) by TJ from Norway About "Change [sic] of fools". I remember watching it on VH1 in 98, and Mariah's voice did crack, but on the dvd-version it's perfect. Someone has done something. Anyway, I love the show, but I agree with you about the Divas Live 96 [sic]. I used to dream about that. (Sunday 29 May 2016; 9:49)

Article: Scientology goes Hollywood (62,804) by Gemma from Australia This is very scary. I really really hope Mariah doesn't go to Scientology. (Sunday 29 May 2016; 7:59)

Re: Stella (62,800) (62,803) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Female. There may or may not have been a hair flip accompanying the finger snap. (Sunday 29 May 2016; 7:03)
