MC-French-JB collab (55,580) by Jake from New Zealand Really excited for it. Justin is a really good singer, his new song Where Are Ü Now is great. And French is ok. Detail is a nice producer, so that's reassuring too. (Saturday 1 August 2015; 0:48)

Justin French (55,579) by Lee TS from USA This is just eww. Justin is douche at its finest, how is his apology tour going? He probably believed his own hype and it got to his head. I liked his Baby song because it was cute and catchy, even Boyfriend. But his voice to me has not been able to recover since puberty, unlike Usher he has not been singing well. It scratches and sounds all type of awful and it's cringe worthy when he tries to riff and run. I rather a One Directioner lay down some vocals for a feature because they can actually sing. And French? What has he done that's worthy to rap on a Mariah record? He ain't worry about nothing because he ain't nothing until he dated a Kardashian. Sorry they're like lessors and bottom feeders. Just no all around. Well whatever they do cook up I hope it becomes a hit because we are thirsty for some relevance. Let it be fun, young, and a banger. (Friday 31 July 2015; 23:46)

The hate for Justin Bieber (55,578) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I get why a lot of people hate Justin. Some are turned off my the constant stories about him being a douche, the others only relate his name to his most well known (or as Justin says "the song with the most dislikes on Youtube") song "Baby", which was a childish song but the kid was just 14, what do you expect? Haha. But anyways I did hear a lot of his songs from his recent albums or collaborations and I can say that he has matured as an artist. His voice is no longer screechy and the sound of his music has matured too. Plus he has a good singing voice. Even Mariah thinks so. Because she said that he had to sing on a difficult key for AIWFCIY and he got it done. Yes that song is definitely not his best moment. But he does acoustic versions of his albums and there one can clearly hear he has a really good voice. Now if we compare him to Mariah, he'll fall flat, but I think it's unfair to compare everyone to Mariah (after all she is labelled the songbird supreme for a reason and if everyone could sing like her, then really what's the point?). So yes, just saying that he maybe a douche bag in some cases, but he is certainly a good singer. Plus everyone can relax, he won't probably have a big role in the song. It was supposed to be a MC-French collaboration, Justin just came over unexpected, MC played the song for him and he liked it a lot so he went in and put down some vocals for it. Apparently the vocals will be included. (Friday 31 July 2015; 22:35)

Mariah, Justin and French Montana (55,577) by LC from USA I have to say this took me by complete surprise when I woke up this morning. It's kind of random, but I'm really excited. I wasn't expecting anymore new music until next year, at least and now we're getting this. At least we know that Mariah isn't ready to become the old, standard-singing balladeer that some were speculating she was gonna be. I refuse to accept her career going in that direction. She's still relevant. And, according to TMZ, this was originally just gonna be a Mariah and French song, but Justin came in, told Mariah he was a huge fan, then Mariah played it for him and he loved it so much that he recorded vocals for it right on the spot and now he's gonna be featured on the song. That's saying something. Also, the producer in the group pic is named Detail and he produced "Drunk In Love" so this song could be completely current and wonderful. I'm so excited now. Who knows, this might be the "I Know What You Want" of Mariah's new era. (Friday 31 July 2015; 22:31)

Ardis (55,576) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter You can call it the "As of yet untitled" era. Like Mariah said, when asked about the name of a new album (I don't remember which it was) and she said "It's as of yet untitled, but that's not the name." Lol she was being thorough just in case people thought the actual album is called "as of yet untitled". (Friday 31 July 2015; 21:47)

Justin (55,575) by Liz Archer from Sweden When I first read that headline I was really excited. I thought wow Justin Timberlake and Mariah is going to be epic. Both are super good. But then I read further. Justin Beaver, my heart sank. I can't really say I am a fan, but to my memory Mariah and Justin's last collar wasn't fantastic. All I can remember is Justin auto-tuned voice. Why? Why? But ok I will be open minded but not gauntly. I am not super excited. (Friday 31 July 2015; 21:35)

Hallmark movie timeline (55,574) by Paul D from USA I work in the tv business, and an original movie for a cable network usually shoots for 2 weeks, 3 weeks max. So Mariah's Christmas movie shooting in October for December airing is normal. Now, the script could've been in development for a year, but shooting a tv movie is quick and simple. Budgets are usually $500,000 for a 2-hour tv movie. (Friday 31 July 2015; 20:33)

Congrats MC (55,573) by Marissa from USA I'm happy for MC's directorial debut and I hope the movie is #pow. It's so good to see Mariah active in her career again. This is how it's supposed to be. (Friday 31 July 2015; 19:57)

The Infinity era? (55,572) by Ardis Logic from Earth Not sure what to call this current MC era. Is it the Vegas era, the Infinity era, or the Packer era? Anyway, MC seems to be beaming with joy in every picture. I love to see her happy. Now that she is in the studio, I can't wait to hear some new music. I am a happy little lamb. (Friday 31 July 2015; 19:50)

Empress and her subjects (55,571) by darrian liu from taiwan I'm not gonna comment on French since I don't even know him but JB? I mean I don't have anything against JB, it's just that he's a teeny bit of a douchebag. Okay, that might be an understatement. A major one at that. I'm all for new MC music though. Swag. (Friday 31 July 2015; 17:50)

Christmas movie (55,570) by Luke from United Kingdom "Hallmark Channel's Mariah Carey's Christmas Project, which will start shooting in October and screen in December." So I'm guessing it's going to be a short movie. Lol correct me if I'm wrong, I've not seen many Hallmark movies but don't most films take atleast a year to create and finalise? How are they going to do it in 2 months when they struggled to finish and get out a 3 minute video for a song that ended up being a month late? Plus with planning/rehearsing the Beacon shows and recording new music it's going to be a squeeze. I hope she doesn't just throw ideas to people like Brett and they're just saying "Yeah ok, we can do that and finish it in time." (Friday 31 July 2015; 15:45)

MC + French - JB (55,569) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So I'm a little confused. JB is in the photo with Mariah and she tagged him but he is not tagged by Stella or French Montana or DJ Suss One. Neither did he upload that picture on his instagram but everyone else did. So did he just randomly walk into the studio while they were recording or what? Come on now, take Bieber along, his matured voice is quite sexy. What's weirder is that Stella tagged Tamar Braxton and wrote "#disneymagic" and how she doesn't want to grow up. Someone help me connect the dots. Also I love the denim on denim Mariah is wearing here. I love "CasualRiah". (Friday 31 July 2015; 15:22)

Re: Stage presence (55,568) by Stella Lewis from USA She may not be a dancer, Mariah just needs to be confident. She totally owned it in her live MSG performance of Make It Happen. Also this one of It's Like That. She was on fire that night, and the crowd loved her. I wish we can get this Mimi back, I know it can happen. (Friday 31 July 2015; 13:15)

Lack of movement (55,567) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah was never a dancer but what made up for the lack of dancing was that she used to run on stage and move around a lot so one could really feel the emotions she was trying to portray through the song (example Grammy 2005, one out of many). I agree that nowadays sometimes she is very careful. With the exception of the Jamaican concert (where she did the sexy impromptu rock star moves), she usually seems to stand really still during her performances. While that is fine for songs like "Hero" and "VOL", for the more uptempo and mid tempo numbers, I wish she'd move more. I understand her possible fear of falling though, starting with the fall in Singapore when she was pregnant, then the life changing one she had in 2013 and all. But I think she should just switch to better shoes, maybe wedges and all for performances, which are safe and more comfortable. Plus they make cute wedged sandals nowadays so that shouldn't be a problem. Or she can go down Beacon route and just take of the sandals (mid way through a song, not missing a beat) and run through the stage like her life depends on it. This was another fall by the way, she tripped down the stairs but the diva that she is, she makes it look graceful. Notice how she didn't even stop singing when she tripped in this video. I love this woman. (Friday 31 July 2015; 11:09)

Lee TS / that face, no flaw (55,566) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Well that could be a possibility. I mean with all her resources it would be absurd for her to neglect her physical appearance. But aside from possible skin procedures and skincare regimen, let's not forget that aging is also dependent on lifestyle (methods of relaxation and dealing with stress) and of course, genetics. She's gorgeous at any size, though. (Friday 31 July 2015; 10:59)

Mariah's instagram (55,565) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah posted this picture on instagram. Now I need an explanation as to what is "coming soon". I don't mind Bieber (I like his singing voice so hate me, don't care), but what on earth is French Montana doing with Mariah. Ugh I don't like French but if this means that we are getting more Mariah music soon then I'll accept French too. But seriously what is going on? Is this Justin's new single? The one that is supposed to come out in 29 days? Which is supposed to be a "uptempo, fell good, uplifting, summer song"? Or is this a new Mariah single? Mariah mama talk to me. (Friday 31 July 2015; 10:54)

Mariah is in the studio (55,564) by Philipp from Switzerland Mariah posted a picture of her in the studio with French Montana and Justin Bieber and some other guys on Instagram. Hmm. I wonder what's coming? I hope not another Justin Bieber collaboration. (Friday 31 July 2015; 10:53)

Re: Lee TS (55,563) by Billy from Greece Lee, I think it is the extra or differently shaped eyelashes that she's wearing as of late (that are more elongated in the end) that make her look sort of different. Still, whatever she may be doing is fine since she is still the same Mariah. As for natural lines, when I saw her up close back in 2009 she seemed perfectly natural and expressive to me, not "plastic" or stretched. The only thing that seems different to me lately is the look in her eyes, which again may have to do with the eyelashes. Makeup generally also can transform her. (Friday 31 July 2015; 10:26)

Vocals (55,562) by Bino from From the "Going for the high" review, this is a related article about some current pop stars losing their voice that perhaps will enlighten some fans. All I can say is God bless Mariah. (Friday 31 July 2015; 10:20)

That face, no flaw (55,561) by Lee TS from USA Do you guys think she did something to her face? There's something about it that I can't quite put my hand on. I know she said stars don't squint so she doesn't get any lines but I wonder if she's done something. [censored] She probably uses an extremely expensive skin cream that is secreted by some rare exotic animal haha. Just for comparison because they're close in age, even JLo has obvious lines in her forehead when she gets expressive. I want to pinch Mariah's cheeks though, she's always had those. (Friday 31 July 2015; 7:44)

Looking In / Rocket Man 12 inch record (55,560) by Bobby A from United States Back in the 1997 and 1998, I was ordering a lot of Mariah records and CD's from a vendor in New York City. I was able to get Underneath The Stars remix CD, a Honey 12 inch and CD, Mariah At Her Best Live CD, and the Looking In/Rocket Man 12inch record that I never hear anybody else mention. Does anyone else have these records and CD's? (Friday 31 July 2015; 5:45)

Songwriting (55,559) by Darryle from USA I think Mariah's songwriting is just as good if not better than it was in the past. Her writing has gotten more mature over the years and she's been able to make her writing more witty while still maintaining what made her such a great writer in the first place. People say her songwriting has gotten worse because they're looking for her to recreate songs like Petals, Outside, and Looking In. But, that's not going to happen. Mariah's in a different place and so is her writing. (Friday 31 July 2015; 5:18)

The Wiz (55,558) by Lee TS from USA Rumors are Beyonce got Mariah's role. That's a wrap on that idea, M didn't even have a chance. (Friday 31 July 2015; 5:03)

Stage presence (55,557) by Lee TS from USA I don't think anyone is expecting Mariah to bust out some choreo. Her Honey body roll is the most we will get from her. But what she can do is work on commanding the stage. Look at the MSG concert, she was incredible. Hate to say it but M moves like an old lady on stage, very slow and stoic. I wonder if the Christmas movie she's directing was the original big New Line Cinema deal, two Christmas movies seems a bit redundant no? I do want a big movie project from her and more character roles. (Friday 31 July 2015; 4:58)

The shade of it all (55,556) by Lee TS from USA Lol moments. (Friday 31 July 2015; 3:28)
