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

Re: Losing interest / list (67,674) (67,680) by RibbonB from USA M. was dressed her best in this video. Wish she would give us more high fashion in her vids. (Sunday 30 October 2016; 1:22)

Article: Mariah Carey "devastated" by James Packer breakup (67,678) by RibbonB from USA Oh now E is out with the "poor Mariah is blindsighted and a victim" gossip. Lol. They keep setting up the alternate ending. Maybe she is ready to move on to the Flaky Tanaka ending, if enough people are interested. I guess he got promoted once the billionaire fell out of the deal. What a mess. She didn't seem that upset leaving Nobu with her kooky clique. Can Mariah just be alone with herself ever? She has just set up the next man to blackmail her or write a tell all like the ugly short dude Damian. Will she never learn? (Sunday 30 October 2016; 1:06)

Re: Dembabies (67,642) (67,665) by RibbonB from USA I'm just wishing for the best for them. (Saturday 29 October 2016; 18:32)

Re: Assumptions (67,653) (67,660) by RibbonB from USA Meanwhile E network is using every bit of this gossip to promote this show. In fact they are perpetuating all the Bran Flake gossip as gospel. Trying to make him a household name at least among the lambs. Mariah well knows this and she is right along with it with the leaked videos, stolen moments, lap dances, dinners at Nobu (co-owned) by James. All for the TMZ cameras and E network gossip shows. Sure let Mariah continue to play her games. She well knows what is going on around her and with this show. Sink or swim, she is in all of this and plays it up for all it is worth. E news is the biggest generator of the gossip right along with TMZ. Mariah can stay silent, or play coy in interviews, but the results will be all hers and her children's by default.

Article: Breakup has E! "freaking out" about her reality series (67,630) by RibbonB from USA Alternate bail out plan being set into motion. Whaa, whaaa. Her old team was correct as were many of her fans, but Mariah refused to listen. I hope someone is caring for her children and I don't mean Stella's pre-teen daughter. This mess needs to stop. I hope M. learns from this. She is good enough without all this frippery. (Friday 28 October 2016; 21:35)

Re: Dembabies (67,614) (67,624) by RibbonB from USA He was never going to be their step dad and Mariah claims they kept separate residences. I don't believe Mariah ever planned to be a step mom to his kids either. I think she knew going in that this was all one big long term stunt and just brought the kids along to deal with it the best they could. She is a mess for all of this and all the adults who have participated. (Friday 28 October 2016; 19:46)

This is all a tacky mess (67,610) by RibbonB from USA I knew the antics would get more intense in lead up to this reality show. Now that she doesn't have a tour for a while it gives her lots of time to be messy as promo. There may be a surprise ending to this show and I am going to just laugh if it is what I think it is. In funny news, Dish Nation had the best shade last night about this Mariah dumpage. DaBrat just sat there and could say nothing. They said that maybe James can now go after JLo since he had his fun with Mariah and dumped her. They said that M. will know who JLo is then. Burn. (Friday 28 October 2016; 16:43)

Re: E news (67,586) (67,591) by RibbonB from USA But really why would he "allow" any of it? He has been right along from day one. First Mariah is dating Brett, on JP's boat, then weeks later it is revealed that she is actually starting to date James. He signed onto this thing and they have been parading around ever since with the blush queen Stella always present. When Maria's old team dragged Stella in the press, James was right along with Mariah. Never said anything about all the press leaks and TMZ exclusives. There were even stories that he approved of Stella and the show, never a peep from him or Brett. The only one who spoke up about the show being a bad idea was Lee Daniels and later Mariah made a joke of it, at Brett Ratner's house. This has gone on and on, even from all the summer leaks of Mariah drunk in the club with her "help", to him groping her in Italy all for the public to see and discuss. Why would he ever agree to be on a reality show, heck why would Mariah is what I have been asking all along? Money and attention seems to be the key for both. An excursion or something. E news is documenting it all to air it all out on those 8 episodes and they don't care about anything but scaring up some ratings. (Friday 28 October 2016; 11:33)

E news (67,577) by RibbonB from USA Lol E news is spreading both the Bran Flake story and now the James is mentally unstable story. Supposedly James hasn't been mentally well for a while and has not been present for Mariah, so she had to let him go. So all in one day, James dumped her for over spending, and for rendezvousing with the help, or Mariah dumped him for doing something bad to her assistant, or for being mentally unstable and not present. Wow. What a sloppy mess this story has become. TMZ also has five or six versions of this "breakup". I won't be surprised if James and Mariah pose for Halloween and act like nothing has happened. Still a month to Mariah's World, if it does't get stalled. Yikes. (Friday 28 October 2016; 2:35)

Article: Something bad happened in Greece (67,564) by RibbonB from USA Lol still the same sources TMZ and Daily Mail. The pattern continues. Mariah was due back from vacation, so I doubt she left the boat because he did something bad. Like who dumped whom with these different scenarios our there. She had her Empire appearance etc. in October and James is trying not to get arrested in China and to have his 18 employees released and fight off corruption money laundering charges in China. They are getting cheap "breakup" attention, but I still say it won't generate big interest for this show. Non fans are just confused by her and all her hangers on. Fans are either happy or pissed, which doesn't really set the stage for a show with wide appeal. It just strikes me as desperate. Oh well, we have a serious election about to go down. That is enough of a fiasco on the world stage. Wishing dem babies the best in all of this. (Thursday 27 October 2016; 22:01)

Re: TMZ is reporting the split (67,547) (67,562) by RibbonB from USA I have been saying that this is one long sloppy business deal/stunt. Lol. People are also forgetting that M. is on camera dancing with Anthony and some chick. There are so many planted moments in an attempt to create drama. This is a Brett Ratner/Ratpac production IMO. Produced by Stellar the blush wielder. Lest we forget, Eddie Morales previously commented "let's hope the witch, or bitch or whatever he called Stella, doesn't sink the whole ship before M. relaunches her career". Sadly, M. may end up with whomever generates the most interest. A pitiful joke to play on herself and her children. Her fans are either applauding, or looking away in shame or at least out of respect for who she used to be, or could be if she drops the camouflage. (Thursday 27 October 2016; 21:09)

Re: TMZ is reporting the split (67,543) (67,545) by RibbonB from USA This has all felt like a cheap publicity stunt IMO. From the very beginning Mariah has been doing the strangest things and all for the camera for our consumption to mull over and discuss. Like why would she film a "rendezvous" with the help no less? Why even film a reality show about a new relationship with a wealthy man, who has always been private? It has always been designed to generate interest and drama, that may or may not be there. A lot of her fans have been into it, but I think many more have cried foul. I don't think the tour and her "breakup" are connected. If Mariah had any hand in the problem, the promoters would not be refunding money, they would be suing her for breach of contract. One thing is true, Stellar is not so stellar as I have always thought. She should be blamed for the lack of communication and not being more forthright with the fans. Mariah already made her statement. And people going bat crap cray, what else is new? Them fools need to stop, IMO. (Thursday 27 October 2016; 16:39)

Re: SA tour (67,516) (67,518) by RibbonB from USA Maybe Mexico had different promoters. It is actually in North America. Perhaps we will never know all the business dealings. (Wednesday 26 October 2016; 23:04)

Proof the wedding is still on (67,492) by RibbonB from USA Just kidding, but this clip is funny. Andy stays asking about Miss Mimi on WWHL. I wonder if Mariah's mother has even met the guy. (Tuesday 25 October 2016; 16:43)

Re: Mariah trending on Facebook (67,481) (67,483) by RibbonB from USA I have long said that her roll outs are wacky, often tacky and usually poorly timed. This is especially true with Stellar and her children managing Mariah. They put a lot of hype in the ether this current year, but a lot of it is poorly placed. But then a lot of fans have expressed interest in this coming docu-thing. I believe she could have focused solely on touring and developed a true documentary to air without all the naked men as sofas and kooky Complex covers to promote a show that seems to have her going beyond the pale, even for her diva persona. She could have given us a true air of mystery by being more elusive and more private, but we get a hodge podge or planted press, stunts, etc, etc. I am glad she did her little thing on Empire, Vegas seems to have worked for her, but that was in the works way before Stellar. Mariah has some good instincts, she just needs to make sure her efforts focus on herself and not the menagerie she keeps around her trying to feed off of her fame. (Monday 24 October 2016; 20:59)

Party footage (67,457) by RibbonB from USA How cute the father daughter dance. Mariah looks even better in the video. I hope they had fun. (Monday 24 October 2016; 1:33)

I know he is Trump rich but... (67,452) by RibbonB from USA This is odd. I noticed this article while reading the Daily Mail post about Mariah's Halloween party. Must be nice to be able to invest so much in your ex. He better not step foot in China any time soon though. (Monday 24 October 2016; 0:32)

Article: The top 10 pop singers of all time (67,451) by RibbonB from USA Bruno and Selena shouldn't be on the list and Brittney should not be that high on the list. But that's how lists go, always debatable. (Monday 24 October 2016; 0:25)

Re: Early Halloween (67,434) (67,440) by RibbonB from USA Lol that does look like Stellar's normal attire, hahahah. (Sunday 23 October 2016; 16:59)

Re: Early Halloween (67,435) (67,439) by RibbonB from USA I think it is great too. The kids look so cute and happy. (Sunday 23 October 2016; 16:58)

Article: Mariah Carey has some Halloween fun (67,438) by RibbonB from USA Roc and Roe are so big now and they are cute as buttons. Mariah and Nick looked great too. (Sunday 23 October 2016; 16:47)

Re: Mariah and Bryson Tiller (67,380) (67,402) by RibbonB from USA He just used a couple lines from her song. Artists gave to give credit and pay whatever licensing but I don't see it as a missed opportunity unless she actually had some kind of association with him. It would have been a stretch had she tried to claim more. Mariah has sampled and interpolated lots of other artists' music with no more than the required mention. No need for her to be that thirsty. He is too young and too new for her to have been trying to grab a feature IMO. Lord knows she already has invested too much time and effort trying to feature lesser acts on her own music. I think it's great if she gets a little bump with no extra time or effort. Bobby womack and others cashed in big time with no extra effort at all on We Belong Together. Just another perspective.

Re: Madonna is Billboard's 2016 Woman of the Year (67,342) (67,344) by RibbonB from USA I thought Billboard was all about sales. Lol let's google it. Looks like it is touring then they mention her philanthropic efforts. It also says that Madge is the highest selling female artist of all time. Does Mimi has to update her resume? (Tuesday 18 October 2016; 17:18)

Re: Sia is over 40 and radio loves her (67,323) (67,326) by RibbonB from USA She is rather a late bloomer as far as commercial success. She kept plugging away from the mid 90's to the late 2000's after establishing herself as a songwriter. Plus she is just 40 and reached the apex of her career in her mid to late thirties. Mariah, Whitney, Chaka you name them achieved fame early, so it is harder to stay on the charts and radio. R&B radio is all but dead for the past ten years which hasn't helped. There are all kinds of factors beyond those things and her image. (Monday 17 October 2016; 20:57)
