About RibbonB from USA: I love Mariah's Music.

Madonna biopic too? (70,860) by RibbonB from USA The tragic irony that a Madonna biopic is also in the works and produced by none other than James Packer and Ratpac. This is too rich. Mariah needs to take a break. Lol. I wish she and dem babies and hell even Nick would retreat, luxuriate in the Bahamas for a year. Clean house, clean slate, clean bill of health. Just sit out 2017. It'll never happen, but would do a body good, better than her getting that Kanye type 5150 rest. (Thursday 5 January 2017; 19:08)

Mariah biopic coming (70,855) by RibbonB from USA Oh well, Stellar is announcing a new Mariah biopic and confirms three hallmark movies are still in the works. Not confirmed is whether there will be a season or two of Mariah's World. This is a great time for Mariah to drop Stella as her music manager and let her manage the movie aspect of things. She needs to pull the plug on this "traveling family" concept and take her personal life back and deal with her children. If the biopic comes to life, I hope it doesn't flop in the ratings. The 90's singer Michel'le had a successful movie for Lifetime this year, but the way Stellar has handled MW, I don't predict a wild success. (Thursday 5 January 2017; 18:13)

Re: NYE front row video (70,805) (70,833) by RibbonB from USA It would have been epic if her dancers got into their sofa position and Mariah sat down and sang without the music and chatted very nonchalant about the technical difficulties. I do wish she would shut down Stella's chatter about it after the fact. Stella should have stopped the mess before she let her go on. (Thursday 5 January 2017; 13:28)

Re: Blind Gossip article (70,807) (70,832) by RibbonB from USA And I don't believe there is any way that M would do that without first making sure that 30 million was first wired into her account, so she could transfer that into Nickey's account. Especially after the stories were planted that she begged Nick to sign the divorce papers, right before James dumped her. Anything less than getting the money first would have been stupid. Shoot, I would have kept the money in my own account for a few weeks and make Nickey wait a little longer so I could collect the interest/finders fee, lol. I think Stella's lies and tabloid story plants will implode on her soon. I am hoping anyway. I think Mariah's self preservation skills will kick in over her self-sabotaging habits. (Thursday 5 January 2017; 13:24)

LA Reid (70,829) by RibbonB from USA LA is really the only record executive who should be speaking up. Has he abandoned her, or does she not listen? He is a big disappointment for seemingly offering no guidance or solutions. Because Mariah is likely to listen to Wendy Williams or TM as she would to her children. Well she respects their fashion advice, so I wish they could weigh in on Crustella. (Thursday 5 January 2017; 13:00)

Re: Relic (70,825) (70,827) by RibbonB from USA Lol. He is definitely no Clive Davis. (Thursday 5 January 2017; 12:52)

Tommy should shut it (70,826) by RibbonB from USA He isn't saying anything that many on this board haven't said since this debacle started. I know I have been consistent about it and even Wendy Williams has nailed it since the start of the stunt. All this may do is send Mimi struggling deeper into Stellar's clutches. Tommy should be managing his wife Thalia's career. Now if someone like Oprah were to speak to her publicly or privately it may have an impact. But hey, it is 2017 and anything is possible. After last year, maybe she is ready to go deeper with the "devil". (Thursday 5 January 2017; 12:51)

Re: Blind Gossip article (70,802) (70,804) by RibbonB from USA Most blinds are lies. We have already heard the settlement, less than three million and the title to a Ferrari. (Thursday 5 January 2017; 0:59)

Re: Debacle humor (70,785) (70,790) by RibbonB from USA Lol, yes I am definitely expecting an SNL moment and yes it would be awesome if Mariah were there to do an "acapulco" moment. Mimi better make the most of being 2017's first meme. But she needs to turn it around from debacle, to humor, to redemption and drop kick the kiss asses. (Wednesday 4 January 2017; 21:29)

Re: Debacle humor (70,774) (70,777) by RibbonB from USA She may in fact be acting out because of the dissolution of her marriage, but that is one more thing she needs to stop and face and deal with. Acting out with a revolving door of sycophants and hired help will not solve the problem, it will only expand the problems ten fold. Mariah better do some hand wringing, praying and vocal scales or something. Communication is the key though, not "acting out". (Wednesday 4 January 2017; 20:41)

Re: Debacle humor (70,763) (70,770) by RibbonB from USA Yes I agree, I don't include Big Jim or Trey Lorenz, Maryann is a little suspect based on her MW acting and baby on the bus drama. Lol. Wendy has clocked Stellar and the rest of the thirst-bots from the beginning. (Wednesday 4 January 2017; 18:22)

Re: Debacle humor (70,764) (70,769) by RibbonB from USA Yes, exactly about Nick. I'm surprised she didn't bring up the fact that he was sick over the holidays. Blaming him for M's current acts is just messy. (Wednesday 4 January 2017; 18:18)

Debacle humor (70,758) by RibbonB from USA Well may as well laugh about it. The Spurs made a funny with Emotions. At least this will increase the Emotions streams too. It sounds awesome at games, maybe they will make it a game time staple from now on. More streams. After that video is Wendy Williams run down on the NYE thing too. She is pretty much spot on in her assessment of things this time, IMO. I especially like whens he said Mariah should fire this whole group, sit in a room wring her hands and think this through alone, I'm paraphrasing here. (Wednesday 4 January 2017; 15:24)

Re: 99 problems but reality ain't one (70,738) (70,754) by RibbonB from USA Adele had technical difficulties last year at the Grammys, but she sang through it. The people who stand to gain the most from this "any publicity is good publicity" thought process is Mariah and Stella. (Wednesday 4 January 2017; 15:05)

Re: First casualty from the debacle (70,744) (70,751) by RibbonB from USA I believe Burrell went to work with Beyonce on her Superbowl Formation event, during that break from working with Mimi. He was gone, then he came right back. (Wednesday 4 January 2017; 15:00)

First casualty from the debacle (70,731) by RibbonB from USA Well Anthony is the first casualty from the NYE debacle. of course now she can promote her thirst bot/boy toy. She really needs to fire all the damn dancers and get a good set of background singers. Hopefully she cleans slate and sweeps all the frivolous help out the door. I am sure Anthony's shade about "hired help stripper Tanaka" and his comments about the show being created for dummies also didn't help. (Wednesday 4 January 2017; 3:28)

Re: Blame shady ABC and Stella (70,719) (70,724) by RibbonB from USA She could have and should have, but in the absence of that so could stellar. Stella could at least be professional afterwards. (Wednesday 4 January 2017; 0:26)

Re: Crustella Deville (70,703) (70,705) by RibbonB from USA But at minimum, Crustella needs to pull out as her manager regarding the music. She doesn't know crap about the music business and she is way too unprofessional. She needs to pull out of Mariah's life full time and stick to doing the work at a safe professional distance. They are both way too co-dependent. Let her make movies, but she needs better control of her personal life and her music life. There are way too many blurred lines in her world right now and most of that is because of trying to be a camera and tabloid bound reality show artist, rather than a real artist. (Tuesday 3 January 2017; 13:58)

Re: Blame shady ABC and Stella (70,699) (70,704) by RibbonB from USA ABC could have stopped it, of course Mariah could have stopped it, but Stella should have stopped it. She acts like she is so bad assed, but didn't protect her client and now has blown stuff up to greater heights by defaming a whole network. MW is in need of rating, not NYRE which had a captive audience. Maybe Crustella will figure out a way to move on before she destroys her own career more than Mariah's. Mariah always needs a plan A and B and S, stop shit and just sing. (Tuesday 3 January 2017; 13:47)

Re: MW episode 4: Mimi L review (70,663) (70,668) by RibbonB from USA The whole story line is asinine. Sheesh. (Monday 2 January 2017; 22:29)

Re: Still to come (70,659) (70,662) by RibbonB from USA Barf indeed. Lord, ok save me the recap if this is all it was about. Now I am reading that his "ex" was throwing shade on social media, until she made her accounts private. She posted about Karma doing it's work re: the NYE performance and about watching their (M. and the hired stripper) house of cards built on Satan burn up, lol. Ugh, this whole reality thing has been a debacle and M looks to be carrying it into 2017. Sadly, I hope the ratings last night flopped like Stellars pre-boob job flap jack "bitties". Something needs to get M. to focus on what got her the fame, the voice. (Monday 2 January 2017; 21:38)

Re: Billboard article (70,625) (70,652) by RibbonB from USA Lol Mimi L. I thought the same things, good breakdown of the article. Did you watch MW last night? Can we get a synopsis of what happened? I did not watch. Also, how does Stellar convince herself that she is so professional in dealing with Mariah's old staff, but she hires a comic character in Molly just for the reality show? It's absurd. And Brett's "friend" vetting is horrendous. He invited a sycophant into Mariah's realm, when Randy very wisely kept her out of it. Brett throws Mariah out like meat to the wolves, although M. has a lot of wolf in her too, or she is a "changeling". (Monday 2 January 2017; 18:34)

Re: Getting through to Mariah (70,586) (70,596) by RibbonB from USA Perhaps bombard the MW twitter. They probably want the traffic, so they might not block people. Piers Morgans Daily Mail post has over 4k comments and 99% of the ones I read were bad. This might be the sinking of the ship part that Eddie Morales wrote about. Funny how the team that left seemed to already know the script and did not approve. (Monday 2 January 2017; 3:54)

Re: NYE performance (70,564) (70,588) by RibbonB from USA All true. I have said the same things too. She needs to work on healing and growing from within, not bopping to the next team or dude or whatever. She could take a break though to clean this slate. She must not use people or let them use her and thirst for press like a splash or crack. The real things are herself and her children. I really hope she focuses on those. There will always be "kiss asses" to say and do what it takes to get in, but that lasts as far as her bank account, or their strength allows. I really hope she uses the first part of 2017 to refocus and prepare for this Lionel tour, or even rethink participating. This tour would be the perfect venue to let the audience sing along to her hits, but even that has to be done right. Her "apology" tweet was rather ominous in forecasting "more headlines in 2017". (Monday 2 January 2017; 1:58)

Article: Mariah's team claims singer was sabotaged to get ratings (70,587) by RibbonB from USA More likely Stellar and team sabotage Mariah for better ratings of MW. Conveniently MW airs on the very next evening. Ryan Seacrest didn't seem surprised though, but it is strange that if Mariah kept complaining, that no one on her team nor did she say "fix it before I go on". She made a valiant effort to finish, too bad she didn't just wing it. It looked crazy with the bg dancers smiling and doing their typical wack dances with her not singing. Oh well, she better have a plan B for all future performances, maybe even a plan C. Perhaps just sing live with a piano, music tracks and background singers. (Monday 2 January 2017; 1:31)
