Re: Mariah Carey shades Christina and Jessica (56,346) (56,354) by Billy from Greece Funny indeed, but keep in mind that there is a little bit of montage involved in this clip. Mariah's (shady) reaction in 0:03 that follows the mention of the two names is taken from a different segment of the same interview, so she's not basically shading the people John Norris mentioned.

Re: Interaction with the kids (56,352) (56,353) by Luke from United Kingdom She's probably being cautious. Their relationship might be going good now but she doesn't know what will happen. I don't think it's a good idea to let kids get close to someone with the possibility of them leaving and it not working out. They already have parents that have seperated so it wouldn't do them any good if they started growing affectionate towards him only for him to leave. I've read that Mariah has known him for some time but it's only recently they've been dating. So it's probably still early days, especially with their lifestyle I doubt they get the same freedom to see each other compared to people who aren't famous. (Friday 28 August 2015; 17:40)

Interaction with the kids (56,352) by Licia from USA Does anyone else find it weird that there are no pics of Packer interacting with Roc and Roe? I just find it weird that they staged pics of him and Mariah kissing and feeling each other up, but they didn't take any of him dealing with the kids. On the first yacht trip you have pics of her playing around with the kids, but not him. It seems a little more important to show how this man is with my kids than him feeling me up in public. Maybe it's just me seeing this. lol. Before anyone claims I'm being unfair to Mariah, I would ask the same questions of Nick if he's with a woman who he's supposed to be in love with and you see nothing of her interacting with his children.

MC in Capri (56,351) by darrian liu from taiwan Looks gorgeous. I prefer her going natural that way instead of the usual makeup. It makes her look much younger to have the natural look. Seriously. (Friday 28 August 2015; 16:08)

The struggle (56,350) by B from USA The struggle, lol. (Friday 28 August 2015; 14:50)

Downtown (56,349) by SM from Citizen of the World Mariah's name is mentioned in the new song by Macklemore. "1988 Mariah Carey hair." Lol. (Friday 28 August 2015; 6:29)

The Lambily meeting (56,348) by Lee TS from USA Have you guys seen or heard about this? I've seen this kind of floating around and I'm now listening to the podcast as I'm typing. They've already coined a phrase as legendary lambs. I guess I'm one since I'm 19 years deep in the fandom haha. They seem very festive. (Friday 28 August 2015; 2:07)

Re: Mariah Carey shades Christina and Jessica (56,346) (56,347) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada How is this even called a shade? Lol. (Friday 28 August 2015; 1:56)

Mariah Carey shades Christina and Jessica (56,346) by Lee TS from USA This clip is so cute though. I can't even know what to say. (Friday 28 August 2015; 1:45)

Re: New book (56,339) (56,345) by B from USA Her Forever perfume smells amazing, I've bought perfumes from every major celeb and it's my favorite. (Friday 28 August 2015; 0:39)

Article: Tamar Braxton insists "there's one Mariah" (56,344) by Lee TS from USA She's such a lamb. (Thursday 27 August 2015; 22:50)

Re: Manager / Stella (56,341) (56,343) by Marissa from USA I just think that's how MC rolls. She is an extrovert through and through. She loves having people around and seems to never need alone time. I think it's nice of MC to let Stella bring her kids everywhere because I personally would be sick of any other kids being around besides my own. Kids don't always need to be in grown folk's business. But maybe I'm just old school. (Thursday 27 August 2015; 22:16)

Manager / Stella (56,341) by Mara from United States So Mariah is in Italy now and on JP's boat and Stella is there with her daughter's again. Now I get that she represents Mariah, but does that mean she has to be with her at every moment? And I mean no ill will with this, I am just finding it a little strange that even when MC is on a boat or in every country that she stops in, Stella and her daughters are right there with her. I would be sick of my own sister if she was there all the time. JP must be a very tolerant guy to have them all tag along with him and his new girlfriend every place they go. Maybe MC doesn't want to be alone yet? Maybe I'm reading too much into it. Lol I just know if I was nonstop with my own sister and mom who I do everything with, I would probably want to escape. Was MC's friend Rae Rae always with her like this too? Maybe this is just how MC rolls. So to speak. (Thursday 27 August 2015; 17:30)

My thoughts (56,340) by Adam from Usa So I've been reading everyone's posts about this and about that and I for one am happy for the re-release of Number Ones and her Merry Christmas album. Not because I don't have them but they are both being released on vinyl. As a collector of her vinyl these things are very hard to find and extremely expensive to buy new since they are all out of print. I guess this is just me looking at the glass half full. Would I like new music? Of course I would. But I'm not going to hate on projects that may connect Mariah to a younger audience and give people the chance to hear the magic that is her back catalog. Mariah is no where near done recording new music so we will just have to be patient. I can't remember who said this but I agree that the lambs are spoiled because we have always got new music almost yearly and what she puts out is so far beyond greater than anything that any of her peers do. I am a thankful lamb that is happy that I still have my fav artist twenty five years later. (Thursday 27 August 2015; 14:53)

New book (56,339) by Mirage from Unicornatopia I'm not mad at the idea of a Christmas book. I'd prefer that to a perfume or a HSN clothing line, not only because it is a bit classier, but it also feels more artistic for some reason. It's just another mechanism for Mariah to push her Christmas music and pass it on to a different generation, thus helping to secure her Christmas legacy for years to come. It's quite clever if you ask me. If Mariah is pushing her old music, via the updated Number 1's, Vegas and now through her Christmas music, perhaps that should tell her something. Shoving Infinity onto the end of the album makes no sense. It doesn't help to reconnect the audience. (Thursday 27 August 2015; 14:17)

Re: Music (56,331) (56,338) by B from USA It's a cute gift for children. Calm down. (Thursday 27 August 2015; 13:51)

Re: Must be well-respected MC (56,332) (56,337) by TJ from Norway Agree 100% (Thursday 27 August 2015; 12:23)

Christmas book (56,336) by Musti from UK I don't understand why some fans are getting worked up about this. It's just another way to milk AIWFCIY during the holidays. I prefer this to having a re-release of Merry Christmas (even though we're still getting the re-release). Whether we like it or not, ventures like this are necessary to keep the artist relevant. There is nothing to justify here. Fresh artists struggle to stay relevant in spite of their multiple ventures along with their debut albums, let alone a singer who's been releasing pop music geared towards the charts for 25 years. (Thursday 27 August 2015; 12:07)

Re: I'm so passionate about Mariah (56,323) (56,335) by Stella Lewis from USA "The only problem in the way is her voice, and the health of it." I completely agree. Mariah herself said in an interview regarding her stronger pregnancy vocals, that it completely inspired her musically. Her voice is music. If she came back with a solid voice with that buttery/husky tonal quality again, people will remember the Mariah we all fell in love with. (Thursday 27 August 2015; 11:51)

Re: Lost (56,325) (56,334) by MimiLamb from Germany Seriously? Ghetto mess Mariah? How disrespectful you are. (Thursday 27 August 2015; 11:43)

Re: The new Mariah Carey: the standard (56,320) (56,333) by MimiLamb from Germany Making music is not where the money is anymore, so artists need to do other things like selling their own perfume or water etc. Mariah's priority changed a lot after Dem Babies, she even said that music comes second now. I rather have her take the time to make a second MIAM with the proper promotion then her releasing anything at the moment without doing anything to make sure it sells and is promoted properly. If I have to wait another 2 years to get new music, that is fine by me, because I know the times of Mariah releasing an album almost every year are over. Her focus is somewhere else and I can't blame her for that. (Thursday 27 August 2015; 8:56)

Must be well-respected MC (56,332) by Malcolm from Asia Earlier, I read some articles about Beyonce and after I read this one, I cannot avoid but to think about Mariah. Beyonce and her team really puts effort on her image, every inch of the details are calculated, and now it benefits her by being highly respected of everyone. Beyonce is one of the few independent female artist that reflects to their image and as a whole. Yes, Mariah is independent but I only see it in a creative and artistic level and few people knows and recognize it. In past years, whenever Mariah had interviews, she is like unconfident with her statements and lacking on substance and affirmation. So I really commend her when she is having an article interviews like the recent ones, she is more expressive and professional. I know for sure that her publisher edits it when needed like what Beyonce's doing and that's not wrong because you have an image to take care of. As a legend like her, she really deserve to be highly-respected but she must do it on her own, because respect can't be demanded, it is earned. Now is the time for her to be mature when she's in public, lessen the ensembles, the diva-attitude and other things that puts her on critical "moments" because at her age, it's really not that good. I really admire Beyonce by saying this "I felt like I wanted to follow the footsteps of Madonna and be a powerhouse and have my own empire and show other women when you get to this point in your career you don’t have to go sign with someone else and share your money and your success - you do it yourself." I really wish MC is like this and not depends on "epic" decisions that is uncertain. (Thursday 27 August 2015; 5:08)

Music (56,331) by CMC from NY,NY Making a statement of my own opinion is just that, as is anyone else's. Mariah is more than free to do any business venture outside of music she wants to and I support freedom of anyone to do that. However that's obviously not helping her music career in the slightest. Is it? Most of these ventures have been post E=MC2. I'm not interested in it honestly and if a grown adult can honestly be excited about a children's book over Mariah providing us with new music, lol, than more power to you. I'm happy for you. But for me I would rather have creative, inventive new music. You know what she is known for. Those 18 #1's, not her 18 nail polish colors. (Thursday 27 August 2015; 5:03)

Mariah's children's book (56,330) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada If Mariah wants to release a children's book for Christmas, why must it be assumed she's being manipulative, or looking for a money grab from fans? I mean sure, every business person wants their ventures to succeed, but Christmas is her self-proclaimed favorite time of year. She's a mom. Yes, a very famous mom, but a mom nonetheless. A children's Christmas book could be a really nice keepsake to pass on to her kids. Give her a break. (Thursday 27 August 2015; 4:57)

Mariah mogul (56,329) by nikki from usa I think it's a bit sad that Mariah's spoiled her fans so much over the years that they actually pigeon hole her for doing anything other than music. We may have had to wait for new music for 3 years or "studio" for 5 years, but MC's been trying to get that album out since 2012. It had Glitter era stigma from the improper team to one of the worst times to release an album on top of everything else. She may not want to make any new music right now, especially since the last album wasn't appreciated. It might be best because the last time MC fell in love she dropped the ball in the middle of a hit album. Most people go through 3-5 careers in a lifetime. Mariah did nothing but music for a decade, only to replace the rate of album output with extensive touring. She took on acting and then expanded hobbies we already knew she had. I think at this point it's ridiculous to say she's doing this all for the money. She doesn't need to work, she's career driven, and trying out other ventures. Automatic Princess, OPI nail polish, modeling, and HSN only lasted a year each. She moved on to other ventures to try out. She has kids now so it makes sense that she'd want to try something inspired by them. I doubt MC expects her male fans to buy her girly products or adult fans to buy a children's book. She's getting older and wants to try out other careers than just music, but music is what she's known for which is why these options are open to her in the first place.
