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

Continue to Breathe (68,889) by RibbonB from USA On a positive note, here is an excellent performance of India Arie's new song Continue to Breathe from Sunday's Soul Train Awards show. This song is so uplifting and empowering and I loved it at first listen. I especially liked how Erykah Bady offered subtle backing vocals to this great song. Erykah is a great host by the way, I would love to see her host a weekly variety show with comedy and music. We have not seen that in a while. She is very entertaining and can really sing. She does her own thing and is a very respected musician. She was on a radio interview discussing her unorthodox family dynamics of three children with three different famous rappers, including Andre 3000. She jokingly said imagine that as a reality show and the hosts collectively yelled out "No, never do that". Lol continue to breathe all and happy holidays. (Thursday 1 December 2016; 3:17)

Re: Has it occured to you? (68,878) (68,885) by RibbonB from USA I hear you, but some of Mariah's team did say no and they parted ways because they did not want to see her go down like this. Tonka Toy signed on, just like Mariah signed on with Packer until it all fell apart. BT must be saying he will take the cash if no one else will. She has been called all kinds of gold diggers. No one really thought up a good scenario that doesn't make Mariah look bad though. We are even seeing less of DJ Sussone, maybe he thought better of his career outside of Mariah's stunts. JD is still on board though, they are making wonderful new music about her heartbreak saga, allegedly. My suspicion is that her old team will show up on the show as well. Maybe there will be some way to salvage this wreck of a stunt for her image at least. Maybe. (Thursday 1 December 2016; 1:39)

Lettuce pray (68,873) by RibbonB from USA Let's hope Mariah does not end up in a Kanye like state, 5150'd to the mental hospital while Crustella or worse Tonka Toy hold up with her money, keys and checks. At least Nick will then have the kids out of Crustella's clutches. This is worst case scenario, but Mimi seems determined to go somewhere "bigly". This story is reaching "Trumpian" proportions and his wack ass got elected president elect of the divided states. Mariah's goals were a lot less lofty, but she has been all in for the big dive.

Article: Wendy Williams blasts "desperate" Mariah Carey (68,867) by RibbonB from USA Bloop, here we go. (Thursday 1 December 2016; 0:12)

Re: Tonka, Cruella and show (68,857) (68,864) by RibbonB from USA They could be changing things up for the last episodes especially since she got dumped. Re-edits. Lol. (Wednesday 30 November 2016; 22:47)

Re: Dish Nation (68,858) (68,863) by RibbonB from USA Oh yes, Darius was odd, at least he could have sung a Mariah song instead of a Diana Ross song. Lol. If I recall correctly, Dish Nation is all about jokes and shade. (Wednesday 30 November 2016; 22:45)

Re: Dish Nation (68,858) (68,862) by RibbonB from USA You are welcome. Yeah, negative attention is what she seemed to want IMO. She could have gone for positive attention, but that was too much to ask. It's rather sad. I expect she will be getting lots of shade from Dish Nation and the Wendy Williams show. But the Angie Stone comment did make me chuckle watching the show at 11:30 at night. People in the tabloids and press like MC has been this past year, want to be and that is what some of her celeb associates might be tired of. There will be tons of shade for the next two months it seems. (Wednesday 30 November 2016; 22:43)

Re: Mariah spotted kissing Tarantula (68,844) (68,852) by RibbonB from USA I know, Variety gave an interesting review, but why would she call her own show, or "life" lunacy? Hoping for the best. I don't watch any reality shows, but the reviews and tweets or rehash on entertainment shows keep me somewhat aware of them. I am sure there will be plenty of posts to read next week. (Wednesday 30 November 2016; 20:13)

Re: Divas (68,842) (68,850) by RibbonB from USA I have been hoping so too, but something tells me this will be a moment for maximum press for her show. I hope it is in a very good way that you describe. (Wednesday 30 November 2016; 17:21)

Re: Mariah kissing Tang (68,835) (68,849) by RibbonB from USA Hey if anything is real, then it is what it is. But we have seen them laying this scenario out before us, Mariah in a parody of herself as the Variety review says. With scripted drama and conflict. It is sad that she would so willingly do all of this and involve her children. But real or fake, it's worrisome to me that she would regress back to 2001 like scenarios with these two along for the ride like it's perfectly safe and "normal". (Wednesday 30 November 2016; 17:13)

Re: Mariah kissing Tang (68,822) (68,833) by RibbonB from USA Lol, may as well laugh I say. I will be on vacation and off the board most of December and I don't plan to watch or comment on the show. There may be new people who find the board to join in on the festivities, as that usually happens when there is media frenzy. At least I am sure MW people want a frenzy of press and frenzy.

Re: Mariah kissing Tang (68,825) (68,832) by RibbonB from USA Mariah said he paid for the ring, as Barbara so rudely asked Mariah and any one living with her would be living where she lived, but he did have his own dwellings prior to the marriage. Bryan as an employee is on another level and M. has kept those types before. One became a problem and the other probably got his standing O. (Wednesday 30 November 2016; 11:40)

Re: Dish Nation (68,817) (68,824) by RibbonB from USA Here is that episode link, if it works for you. The red carpet interview is at the 9 minute mark, Mariah is brought up at just before 11 minutes. (Wednesday 30 November 2016; 2:30)

Re: Dish Nation (68,817) (68,823) by RibbonB from USA Yes, Gary with the Tea as he is called. I think a lot of it is planned press, even though yes they are all about the dish and the shade. They often apologize to Brat before they go in. Gary asked the "Patti Pie" singer of internet fame and he said "Oh she is single now? I thought a hero had come along." They had a snapping shade fest on that line. The dancer was brought up a week or so ago and I was not sure what kind of face Brat was giving, it was either "confirmation or oh hell damn no" blank stare. Lol. I couldn't tell. (Wednesday 30 November 2016; 2:10)

Re: Mariah spotted kissing Tarantula (68,819) (68,821) by RibbonB from USA Stellar is the bystander. Lol. (Wednesday 30 November 2016; 2:05)

Re: Mariah spotted kissing Tarantula (68,819) (68,820) by RibbonB from USA Yeah, it's scary, because either this show will have a decent ending, or a big over the top reality show mess or a ceremony at all costs. It is sad that people still want to justify all of these stunts as a good means to some end. No matter what the ending the journey did not have to be this messy, public or petty. As always, wishing dem babies the best in all of this. (Wednesday 30 November 2016; 2:05)

Re: Mariah kissing Tang (68,814) (68,818) by RibbonB from USA Nick did have money and a career that did not involved Mariah and ironically the marriage broke up because he was such a focused hard worker. This dude is basically a paid escort. (Wednesday 30 November 2016; 1:29)

Re: Mariah spotted kissing Tarantula (68,810) (68,816) by RibbonB from USA Expect the leaks over the weekend or the day before the show airs. (Wednesday 30 November 2016; 1:25)

Re: Mariah spotted kissing Tarantula (68,807) (68,815) by RibbonB from USA MimiL. here is an interesting review for you of the first episode. (Wednesday 30 November 2016; 1:24)

Article: Mariah Carey's personal assistants aren't allowed to date (68,813) by RibbonB from USA I wonder why they didn't have an employee cannot date the boss rule. Lol that would not fit the narrative of this reality show I suppose. (Wednesday 30 November 2016; 1:13)

Dish Nation (68,811) by RibbonB from USA Lol there was a little Mariah shade last night on Dish Nation. Gary did the red carpet at the Soul Train Awards and asked a few people who they think Mariah should get with, now that she is single again. He asked Angie Stone and she said Jesus and rolled her eyes. Lol. There were a few other colorful answers, but none were too bad. (Wednesday 30 November 2016; 1:10)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey is "deep into the Bible" (68,800) (68,809) by RibbonB from USA The article doesn't mention virgin, just abstaining from sex. Only the two of them know what they did with each other before marrying. The article just mentions they supposedly did not have sex with each other prior to marrying. (Wednesday 30 November 2016; 1:06)

Re: Mariah spotted kissing Tarantula (68,804) (68,807) by RibbonB from USA SMH saw this coming, didn't I say just in time for the premier of the show. Funny how no leaks or video of this. Let's hope they don't make it down the aisle on some isle which will only last a little while because it's all so vile. Lol enjoy the show Mimi L. I suppose people will blame Stellar for M. acting like a silly cougar while she was "engaged". (Wednesday 30 November 2016; 1:02)

Re: R Kelly (68,766) (68,788) by RibbonB from USA They have really worked together before and it was said that their material or styles were not compatible. What I heard was wack. I may seek out that article if I get a moment today. But hey, I am against most Mariah duets because I love THE voice, not theirs. Lol plus I couldn't stand that performance he had with GaGa a few years ago. She looked a fool. Let's just hope they don't duet together and arrange any choreography together. The world is diminished by seeing him scissor Gaga on stage on SNL I believe. This Gaga performance. Lol. I meant diminished as a joke, but it is gross, IMO. (Tuesday 29 November 2016; 17:12)

Re: Scapelambing (68,774) (68,786) by RibbonB from USA No, it is rather appropriate to trash a trash bag as you appropriately refer to Crustella trashbag de Calabasas. When Mariah decides to go designer bag, surely it too will get an appropriate response, "yasssss diva". (Tuesday 29 November 2016; 17:04)
