AI (55,073) by Marissa from USA The problem is that Mariah took her anger about being lied to out on Nicki and decided to throw shade, as if Nicki was the one who betrayed her. It was the people behind the scenes' fault, not Nicki's. Nicki wasn't going to put up with the digs and shade so she snapped. Granted, it was tacky the way she went off, but not everyone is going to bow down to Mariah and accept a petty attitude. This was also another confirmation that Mariah can't stand dealing with other females unless they're older than her, a subordinate or a mere feature on a song. It seems strange that Mariah was cool with Nicki when she could leverage her being a hot up-and-coming rapper for a feature on UOMF, but when they got on a level playing field both being on the judge's panel, suddenly she couldn't stand her.

JD (55,072) by NHYTG from nyc Clearly Jermaine hasn't got anything interesting to tell about himself. I think it's a bit pathetic that he keeps talking about Mariah over and over. I don't think he really is a friend of hers anymore. He better let Mariah do what she wants to do and leave it up to the fans to like it or not. Looks like Mariah is enjoying her (not so) private life and she should. She deserves happiness after all she has been through. I hope James will appear to be be Mr. Right for her.

Mandy (55,067) by Mirage_Nunez from America Baby please, not only did your initial post come across as judgmental, but also the undertone came across as very self righteous. It read as "Mariah's life is ruined because she's such a horrible sinner". I'm sorry, but are you a perfect saint yourself? Did you die for our sins? No shade, but shade. By your logic Eminem (who disses everybody for no reason and makes disturbing songs), should be a bum on the streets, Rihanna (who treats her fans horrible even hit one in the head with a microphone) should be on welfare, and Nicki Minaj's Anaconda (borderline pornographic artwork with graphic lyrics) should've flopped super hard. Dahling basically you're reaching for the stars in some of your accusations. Mariah has never shaded Ariana, I'm so tired of people trying to make that happen. Just because she didn't praise her doesn't mean it was shade. I can agree that it would've been nice to see MC and Nicki bury the hatchet and work together on AI, but just to keep it all the way real, sometimes that's how you have to deal with your enemies just be cordial and keep it moving. After all Nicki did berated her all over social media and even on the show a couple times and never (in all caps) apologized and even said "We're gonna fight again" in their private meeting with the producers, in which Mariah replied "No we're not". So you're right she wants to forgive, but when people make it hard, it becomes more of a process. Even the Bible says "be angry, but sin not". I personally feel Mariah showed a lot of restraint/took the high road (most of the time) in that situation. We don't know if Nick cheated or not, but it was really distasteful what he did on radio and I do believe Mariah put more effort into holding it together than he did. I'm just glad Mariah appears to be picking up the pieces, taking care of her voice, and removing bad energy from her life it seems. "No stress no fights, leaving it all behind" that's all peace.

The devil (55,066) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Are we really going down that path? That feud was fake. Maybe sometimes it went too far but it was definitely fake. Nicki dissed Mariah on twitter during the AI run, which means they were still pretending to hate on each other, MC did talk about Nicki after AI but don't forget she finally came out and said the truth recently. Maybe she was under a contract to keep her mouth shut about the fight until recently? Secondly MC never dissed Ariana, that quote (the Breakfast Club one) was blown out of proportions. For someone who is constantly dubbed as a "has been" and constantly ridiculed in the media while every new girl with somewhat strong pipes are labelled "the next MC", I think Mariah handled the situation real well and gave a general answer. As for the WMA quote, it wasn't directed at Ariana either. She was just starting to take credit for her influence on other singers (which she deserves). Since then she has started to finally acknowledge that she has had a big influence on the sound of the music industry and style of singers. Mariah only has a few diss tracks and it's not like her entire album is full of only diss tracks. I'd say diss tracks is a much healthier option than fighting in real life. Is Mariah eccentric? Yes all geniuses are eccentric if you check out history (note MJ, Walt Disney) but is she being guided by the devil? Haha please I can't even deal with the creativity on this board. No, just no.

That Wendy is at it again (55,065) by Ardis Logic from Earth "And I was like, why you so obsessed with me?" Yeah, this woman loves to talk about Mariah. She just makes up some random shade to throw at her. Wendy said "I don't picture Mariah being fun in a relationship, like I picture her being child-like to a point of unicorns. It's cute in the beginning, but all of a sudden, a guy wants to be with a woman. And I don't picture Mariah - I don't picture her having sex." Whatever Wendy. Why would you want to picture that anyway? Unless you have a crush on her or something. It's just nonsense. There was a lot more shade than that too. Just trying to get ratings and attention by talking about MC. So lame. (Friday 3 July 2015; 19:13)

La Carey (55,064) by B from USA Mariah is looking stunning. She's slowly but surely loosing the weight. She was stilling stunning at her heaviest. She was glowing during her difficult pregnancy with the twins. Mariah wouldn't end a marriage without trying to work it out first. She wouldn't put her kids through what she went through unless she had to. Mariah's children come first. Mariah had always put her career first and her career was her life. Her children are her life now. Mariah didn't promote MIAM because of her imploding marriage and professional issues/creative differences with her label. (Friday 3 July 2015; 17:52)

AI (55,060) by B from USA How did Mariah start the feud? Nikki started the feud because she was told Mariah was jealous of her and didn't want her at the judge's table. Mariah wasn't jealous of Nikki. She was upset because she was lied to. She was told she would be the only female judge, which is the only reason she agreed to do that "reality" show. I would be upset if I agreed to certain terms and said terms weren't met, wouldn't you be? (Friday 3 July 2015; 17:40)

B, Lamb O Chop (55,059) by JAXGH from United States B, the feud was not "fake" what so ever. The grudge is real. Mariah continuously threw shade to Nicki even after Idol. Nicki even slammed Mariah on Twitter. Yes the leaked video of them was definitely "orchestrated" but the two truly did not get long on or off cam. Jesus would have loved if Mariah and Nicki forgave each other, motivated and pushed each other to become better judges, harmonized personalities, became a great team, and showed sisterly love on TV, but no she let hate and pride take over. They almost never glanced on each other at the live shows. The devil got Nick and let temptation took over him, ultimately plotting to ruin their union. She also threw some shade on the WMA to Ariana. But I am grateful that she is moving on. I wish her well. Lamb O Chop, there's a difference between judging and telling the truth. I am aware that Mariah is a good person. A beautiful soul, that's been bruised. Sadly. Her action shows she's hurt. She usually get back with her enemies through a diss. This is why I said it's the "devil". Not her. The Lord wants you to really love the unloveable. Maybe Mariah has just been truly hurt before so she has a hard time forgiving people. I know inside she wants to love everybody and I know she prays for her enemies, just sometimes the action doesn't match what she says. But yes, do pray for her. God bless you. I am just happy she is moving on. Prayers work to keep going. (Friday 3 July 2015; 15:57)

Mandy (55,057) by B from USA Put the pipe down. Mariah is being tempted by the devil because she had a fake producer orchestrated feud with a rapper and Nick possibly cheated on her? She didn't shade Arianna but she didn't praise her either. She simply said if this is the path she choose I wish her longevity or something like that. J.Lo deserved the shade, she isn't some idiot that was clueless to what Tommy was up to. Packer not rushing to Mariah's side when she almost fell is a stupid reason to question whether or not he's good enough for Mariah. Mariah appears happy and healthy and I'm happy for her. I'm not even going to bother discussing JD. (Friday 3 July 2015; 15:14)

Move on (55,056) by Darryle from USA Mariah tripped down a couple of stairs and then corrected herself. It's not that deep. Quit looking for reasons to turn James into some evil man just because you don't think Mariah should date him. (Friday 3 July 2015; 13:26)

Mariah influences on All That (55,055) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines I know I and RJ112 have praised this song here before, but I brought it up again because I recently read a review of Carly Rae Jepsen's new outing Emotion (which is fantastic and is what Taylor's 1989 would have sounded if it stayed truer to its 80's influences, was more fun, and was less personal). The reviewer described All That as something that Mariah could have sung back in the day. At first, I though it was quite a weird statement, as I was only reminded of Prince and Janet when I first heard it. However, a few repeated listens later, I found myself sort of agreeing with the reviewer. Although I find the lyrics to be a bit too simple, I feel like the double voice technique that Carly uses in the choruses and her ad libs towards the end somehow sound like something Mariah would do had it been her song. Check it out and see if you hear what I hear. (Friday 3 July 2015; 12:10)

We still need each other when we stumble and fall (55,053) by Bill from the UK How apt. I think though everybody is over analysing this picture. She stumbled, and got caught by the person who was employed to do just that. End of. Move on. (Friday 3 July 2015; 9:48)

Re: Giovanni from USA (55,052) by MimiLamb from Germany Please enlighten me as to how I sound ridiculous. Were you or any of us there? Did we see any video footage of this stumble? No, the only thing we see are a few pics. This happened in seconds, he was already on the boat sitting down, maybe he did jump up a little later do you know? Just because we see some pics doesn't mean we seen it all. I don't need you to agree with me at all on this, it's just not that deep. Next. (Friday 3 July 2015; 7:32)

Mandy Monroe (55,051) by darrian liu from taiwan Thanks for pointing out. That could be true because the devil is always after everyone so that all will burn in hell with him. Probably this visit to Israel will help MC since it's like The Holy Land. (Friday 3 July 2015; 5:02)

Mandy Monroe (55,050) by Lamb_O_Chop from Australia Wow you're totally judging her. We all go through ups and downs in life. It doesn't mean that we're a bad person or we were necesarily in the wrong in every bad situation in our life. I'm sure we can all make a parallel chart of deathly sins in our lives as well, so who are we to throw stones? I do agree about prayer (I actually do pray for her). She's far from perfect but she is not as horrible as people try to make her out to be. She's human and she definitely seem to be in a better place now. They're some truly wicked people in this world that are currently prospering, I won't say any names though. (Friday 3 July 2015; 3:35)

Mariah and her happiness / JD (55,049) by Licia from USA In the beginning of their relationship Mariah was very happy with Nick. Stop saying that she was never that happy before Packer because you know that's not true. I would say the first few years they were both over the moon in love with each other. Most of you are only gauging her happiness by his richness and not the type of man he may be. I feel like JD got attacked unfairly by the lambs. They just wanted somebody to blame. They blamed JD. They blamed the record company. They never saw that Mariah might have played a huge part in all this mess. In my opinion everybody slacked up in the MIAM era. From Mariah to the record company. Mariah herself said she gave push back to the guy over how the Vegas show should be. So if she tried to battle this guy, I'm sure she tried it with JD as well. I feel Mariah is so afraid of going back to the artist who has no say so in her career that she refuses to loosen the reigns and allow people to do their job. (Friday 3 July 2015; 2:43)

Lee (55,048) by Giovanni from USA There's nothing funny about anyone stumbling. (Friday 3 July 2015; 2:07)

Re: Dupri (55,047) by Ardis Logic from Earth So he says Mariah does what she wants, and doesn't give the fans what they want. On one hand I think that as an artist you have to do what you do, without input from others. You feel creative, and it comes out naturally. Mariah is one of the few people out there who actually writes most of her own songs, this gives her a signature sound. I have noticed that many of her fans like the "classic" Mariah better than the Mariah of today. Well guess what? That "classic" MC era was very much tainted by dictatorship. She still got to write her own music and things of that nature, but she wasn't totally free to be herself. Plus she was very much still a teenager, being manipulated to do what others wanted. So I can understand why now she wants to do what she wants. On the other hand, it would be nice if she would at least take into consideration what the fans want, and in some ways I know she does. What is up with Dupri talking about Mariah all the time anyway? Seems like he is just using her name trying to get attention. Get over it already dude. (Friday 3 July 2015; 2:00)

Speak Jermaine (55,046) by Alexis Morell Carrington Colby Dexter Rowan from USA I still detect no lies in his assessments of Mariah Carey. I'm waiting for the "true" lambs to rush in and crucify Jermaine and defend St. Mariah and tell us how we should worship her as a flawless goddess. (Friday 3 July 2015; 1:48)

Jermaine is no "yes" man (55,045) by 123 from USA She really didn't listen to him when he was her manager and let him get hanged by the lambs on twitter. "One thing people need to pay attention is the fact that I am a producer. One day I had a session with Aretha Franklin and I wasn’t saying anything because it’s Aretha Franklin. Then, she got on the mic and said 'What are you doing here if you’re not going to tell me what to do?' From that day forth, I knew what my job was. My job is to say to these artists that I work with when I see a problem or when I feel there is a problem. I am the person that is supposed to speak up and say it. The crazy thing is that the fans - although they backfired on me about Mariah - they know that I’m the person that’s going to say it to the artist. That’s what I do. If the artist is taking a left turn, I’m the person in the room who’s going to say 'The fans are saying we need to do this, let’s do this.' Me and the artists we argue and we go back and forth. But this was not an argument between me and Mariah. And it was no shade to Mariah. Somebody asked me a question about why the press are always saying something bad about her. And I just said, sometimes I think she doesn’t pay attention to 'that' enough. I wasn’t saying that she doesn’t take her career serious enough. I won’t say that. I think she doesn’t pay attention to the fact people are always saying something about her, so you have to go above and beyond to make sure it doesn’t happen." (Friday 3 July 2015; 1:06)

Packer fall (55,044) by Lee TS from USA Let's take a look at this pic. Lambs chill. Look at the dude in front of Packer, he manages to move his arm. And the guy behind Mariah wearing the crocks, he only took about two steps down the stairs. I think her tripping happened in a matter of nano-seconds. Only because she didn't actually fall I find it kinda funny of her stumbling. The wind action in her hair is awesome haha. At least she looks good doing it. (Friday 3 July 2015; 1:04)

Jermaine Dupree new interview (55,043) by Ty from USA Jermaine gave an interview Sunday where he claims Mariah's issue is she does not pay attention to what her fans want from her and that's why her sales have dropped, they want [...] vocals and she's comfortable giving only what she wants. Interesting. (Friday 3 July 2015; 0:48)

The devil (55,042) by JAXGH from United States Am I the only who see how the devil ruined Mariah Carey's life? Wrath, envy, pride (all involved in Nicki Minaj's feud), greed ($18 Million), sloth (countless lip syncing), lust (Nick possibly cheating, naming women he smashed, which also was the start of the downfall, Nick even said it, "if our marriage didn't work out, it's solely your fault"). The devil knows Mariah knows the Lord, and is the most influential artist of all time, she isn't afraid to include Jesus is her music either. So he tried to take Mariah down. He's out there making her give doubts towards Nick (he is also after Nick, I am positive he cheated) making her hold grudges towards other artists (Nicki, Ariana). I actually am kind of disappointed with Mariah's action since Obsessed, great artists do not diss other artists. As a Christian, she should be well aware that hate is not the answer. What ever happened to "love your enemies" (I wish you well). She still doing it with "Infinity" dissing Nick. I honestly think it's too soon to be dating either. She's clearly on revenge. She's full of loathe. It's saddening to see a marriage with great foundation fall apart. The devil has pretty much killed her career too (lip syncing caught, low sales, Infinity flopping). All the unrighteous she did, return right back. May I ask all lambs to pray for Mariah? Please. For her to be saved and get things together. Pray for success, protection, happiness and salvation. Include Nick and the kids as well. Thank you. (Friday 3 July 2015; 0:37)

Apollo / Randy / lamb o chop (55,041) by Tevin from USA Apollo Theater 1990, [...]. The year Mariah brought black people to there [sic] feet. Now can I get an amen? Lol. (Friday 3 July 2015; 0:05)

Out on a limb (55,040) by Lamb_O_Chop from Australia Now didn't Nicholas Scott Cannon dive head first to save Mariah from a fatal fall? Hmmm I don't know about this Packer guy. Mariah jump ship now girl (exclamation point). Nah, but seriously giving him the benefit of a doubt perhaps it wasn't as long and dramatic as the pictures made it look (probably a few secs), she did have a million body guards helping her down the stairs already (so was probably like "they got her she's good"), and it looked like he was already sitting in a boat which could've resulted in a even more clumsy moment for the photags. So I'll let him make it this time, but I'm watching you Packer, no more slip ups. (Thursday 2 July 2015; 23:31)
