Mariah Carey Unwraps ‘Merry Christmas II You’ Cover + More

Published: Monday 20th Sep 2010 by Sam

Ahead of it’s November release, the cover of Mariah Carey‘s ‘Merry Christmas II You’ LP has been unveiled. The former chart-topper will no doubt be pinning her hopes on the project being a success, after a string of commercial disasters (see: ‘E-MC2’ singles,  ‘Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel’, ‘Angel’s Advocate’).

In any case, check out the official press release for the album below, which reveals it’s lead single, the re-recording of an old favoruite, and more…

As autumn leaves begin to fall, international superstar Mariah Carey puts the finishing touches on MERRY CHRISTMAS II YOU, her second career album of holiday tunes, arriving November 2nd on the Island Def Jam Music Group. Highlighting the long-awaited new album is a brand new recording of Mariah’s all-time standard, “All I Want For Christmas Is You.”

In addition to traditional yuletide fare – “The First Noel,” “Little Drummer Boy,” “O Little Town of Bethlehem,” “O Come All Ye Faithful” and more – MERRY CHRISTMAS II YOU also contains four original songs composed by Mariah, including the new single, “Oh Santa,” and many more surprises for the fans. Producers on the new album include American Idol’s Randy Jackson, multi-platinum hit-making producer Jermaine Dupri, James Poyser (acclaimed producer for Aretha Franklin, The Roots, Lauryn Hill and more), and five-time Oscar nominee and Grammy/Tony/Emmy award winning composer Marc Shaiman. {Source}

What with her new ‘voice’ and everything, it sure will be interesting to hear Ms. Carey-Cannon’s updated version of ‘All I Want For Christmas’ (which I personally feel she should have left all the way alone). Still, can’t knock ol’ MiMi’s hustle; she’s really trying to rejuvenate her career – which has undeniably hit the skids as of late. Will no doubt keep a watchful eye on how this all plays out…

    GIIRRRRRLLLL PLZ. LOL WE ALL KNOW SHE FAT!

    THEY DID OVERTIME FOR THAT COVER. LOL BUT I WILL BUY

  2. NiC September 20, 2010

    I love Mariah to death but she needs to STOP re-recording classics from her early 90s (See “Hero 2009” from The Ballads….fail)….I’m still not for this whole 2nd Xmas album thing….The first was classic and charts basically every year.

    *sigh* Mimi has nothing to prove, she received song of the decade twice in a row, most artists cant even have success over that long a period of time, let alone winning an OSCAR. She should just take a page from Janet’s book and focus on acting. She would’ve been phenomenal in the “For Colored Girls” film…

  3. DaTruth September 20, 2010

    Ma’am….That picture! Mimi, U know U R NOT that size!! #ThatIsAll!DaTruth

    interesting to see if she goes gold or copper!

  4. _Maxriah_ September 20, 2010

    Mariah took her pics a WHILE ago. She KNEW she’d gain weight due to the pregnancy. It’s not that big of a deal.

  5. TWITTER.COM/SEAN_THEPROBLEM September 20, 2010

    lol I love you maxriah. lol muah

  6. pist September 20, 2010

    former chart topper? she still is, how is a platinum and a gold selling albums flop?, all these albums have billboard smash hits and u say they flopped, ur freakin crazy

  7. Martyn September 20, 2010

    Massive Mariah fan here. Hate the cover… looks tacky, but no doubt the album itself will be a smash hit.

    Also Maxriah speaks the truth! The cover was shot in April pre-pregnancy!

  8. DaTruth September 20, 2010

    in April, she was not skinnier than the original xmas album. You stans are delusional, she was big in April as well. Go back to the HATEU video and her other appearances.

    There is no gurantee that she will smash. I’m sure rerecording aiwfciy was a calculated move to get airplay. I hope for her sake she can go at least gold

    she’ll flop harder and harder this time Let’s see.time will tell she won’t be able to sell 200k totally this time

  11. Brutal Honesty September 20, 2010

    This is so sad. Look at all of that photo-shop. Mariah is truly lost, and she isn’t the talented woman she once was in the early 90s. I feel bad for this fallen icon. Her MOIA was a flop, and so was EC=whatever, and she is so desperate to fit in with the other divas who are more respected than her But she does not have the same diva ora as Madonna, Whitney, or Dianna, they are truly leaps and bounds ahead of Mariah in persona and stage presence

  12. KELENDRIA ROWLAND September 20, 2010

    If yous wanna see photoshop go look at the old woman’s ” Flop Candy” and the crackhead’s “I look to FLOP”.

    Da COVER IS SO CHRISTMAS! Luvvs it.

    THE BIGGEST SELLING FEMALE OF AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALL TIME IS BACK! Merry Christmas y’all

  13. ALEX (Rihanna + Black eye + stylist= digital sales) September 20, 2010

    We all know Trent is bussing a n** right now. I think he’s the only one thats excited about it! Sam dont seem to bothered either! LMAO.

  14. Lenny September 20, 2010

    Sam, maybe Kelly’s album will do better on the charts.
    So, leave Mariah and go to watch Kelly’s 745 new videos of her new “chart toppers”.
    I love the cover. Can’t wait to hear the new songs and the interpretations of the classics.
    Go, Mariah, the lambs support you forever.

  15. ALEX (Rihanna + Black eye + stylist= digital sales) September 20, 2010

    she lost her Diva/Icon status when she started singing stupid songs and prancing around in latex like cummon ur 40! and then she lowers herself to Nick Cannon…i still love her tho!

  16. RiK September 20, 2010

    I dont really like the cover too much, looks a kinda cheap.
    Oh,please, who doesnt photoshop?! smh
    Iam looking foward to hear ‘Little Drummer’ & ‘O Come All Ye’.
    I dont expect this to top Merry Christmas part one but I think it’ll do well.
    Mariah IS still as talented as she was in the 90s say what you want but your faves could never…ever.
    Amen.

  17. EDIDION September 20, 2010

    Yesss she loooks so gorgeous on that cover i cant wait..and its time we had christmas albums nobody does them anymore! and she can sing very well so im happy..
    check out my site.

  18. Chris September 20, 2010

    Mariah is nowhere near as talented as she was before. Unless you want to count her studio trickery, than that is fine. It is quite amazing how his woman have manipulated the charts over the years, she will never be as good as Whitney.

    I Look You=2.5mill WW-no hit singles

    MOIA=700k WW-Top 10 hit

    LMAO!!!!!

  19. FUTURESTARdelux September 20, 2010

    MARIAH LOOKS CUTE BUT I KNOW NICKI MINAJ IS EAGERLY AWAITING THE RETURN OF HER PLASTIC ASS THAT MIMI SEEMS TO HAVE COMANDEERED. THE LAYOUT IS NICE BUT IT LOOKS TOO MUCH LIKE MARIAH HAS JUST BEEN PASTED ONTO THE COVER BUT I GUESS THAT’S WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU LET THE GUY WHO DELLIVERD THE TRASHTASTIC FLOP “LOVERBOY” TAKE COMMAND.
    THE BAD EDITING MAKES IT LOOKS LIKE A MIXTAPE COVER (AND I DON’T MEAN A CLASSY ONE LIKE JOJO’S).

    I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO HEARING “OH SANTA” BUT I JUST HOPE SHE HASN’T DONE ANNOTHER HOODRAT REMIX TOO “AIWFCIY” SHE NEEDS TO JUST LET THE CLASSICS STAY THAT WAY FFS…

    UNLIKE A LOT OF HATERZ I THINK THIS ALBUM WILL ACTUALLY SELL IT’LL PROBABLY BE THE 2ND BIGGEST CHRISTMAS ALBUM THIS YEAR AFTER SUSAN BOYLE AND LETS FACE IT UNLESS IT’S FOR WEARING CLOTHES TOO TIGHT FOR YOUUR SHAPE JESSICA SIMPSON IS NO COMPETITION TO MIMI LOL

    P.S I BET TRENT IS TRIPPIN OUT OVER SAMS POST LMAOOOO < OH NOW HE'S PROBABLY GONNA CHANGE WHAT I WROTE AND BLOCK ME (AGAIN X3) OR SOMETHING…

  20. RainbowPetals September 20, 2010

    It’s gonna be a very FESTIVE Christmas!!! Haters will like it!!! and even sing along lol God bless ya’ll! “Oh Santa”

  21. FUTURESTARdelux September 20, 2010

    P.S @CHRIS I’M A WHITNEY FAN TOO BUT LETS BE REAL THE ONLY REASON “I LOOK TO YOU” SOLD THAT MUCH IS BECAUSE WHITNEY AND CLIVE MANAGED TO REICK THE PUBLIC INTO THINKING WHITNEY WAS OFF CRACK FOR A 12 MONTH PERIOD AND IT WAS SEEN AS A “COMEBACK” WHI.CH WILL ALWAYS SELL UNITS (ALTHOUGH MARIAH’S COMEBACK “EMANCIPATION…” SOLD LIKE 12M AND HAD A STRING OF HITS).
    AS SOON AS WHITNEY CASHED THEM CHEQUES SHE WAS BACK TO THE DRESSING ROOM SNORTING UP A STORM, DON’T EXPECT HER NEXT ALBUM (IF SHE EVEN MAKES ONE) TO SELL 2.5M…

  22. TheBaddestBitch September 20, 2010

    Lambs, stop being delusional…this project is a mess!

    I still don’t understand why she does a new Christmas album…totally pointless, even more you already did one which was a CLASSIC and stil selling during Xmas period.

    I don’t buy it.

  23. TheBaddestBitch September 20, 2010

    Oh and that cover…we’re in 2010 Mariah, not in 1998.

  24. FoREal September 20, 2010

    Futurestardeluxe: nice try. You are not a Whitney fan, try harder next time. This post is about Mariah but since u went there. Whitney completed all of her dates except PAris which she couldn’t do because she was ill.

    Last time I checked her tour grossed over $42mil and that’s not counting her 2 Russian dates to more than 35k people or her private gig in Monaco.

    Mariah’s tour had problems with attendance on some dates and grossed $9mil who mad…

    Whitney has admitted to using drugs and she’s gotten past them. Have you seen her latest pics, she looks great! Her fam and daughter is ALWAYS with her and one thing I absolutely admire about her is she doesn’t crave fame. She’s content to be home with her family raising her daughter.

    Mariah, her stans like to forget when they throw shade at Whitney went out her freaking mind. She went crazy and had to go to a loony bin
    She drinks like no tomorrow, she’s always on that lean, hopefully she is pregnant so she can stop drinking
    Whitney’s been with one man for 14 years and pretty much celibate since 2007, mariah’s had all kind of men up in her since her divorce. you wanna play dirty! now Damizza is the next music man stepping up to say he bust a n** in her..

    So that’s Eminen
    Damizza
    Derek Jeter
    luis Miguel
    Nick Cannon
    Tommy Mottola
    and i’m sure I’m missing somemore
    Whose’ the drunken, crazy, w**** here!

    lmao! The last time you stans came for Mariah, her wig got snacted with Memoirs of a drunken angel flopping big time!
    You should have learned your lessons. Most Whitney fans tolerate Mariah or even like her but her stupid, immature fans turn people off her.

    Don’t start this mess again!

  25. rob September 20, 2010

    B****, Whitney’s mega hype ILTY was supposed to be a huge comeback for Crackney.

    Guess what? Her album struggled to reach platinum in the US!

    The album was even pushed forward to make it into Grammy’s deadline and it didn’t receive any nomination.

    Her voice during her tour was a mess!

  26. Bobby from Bulgaria September 20, 2010

    Ha ha ha… Ho ho ho…
    Mariah IS an ICON and she will ALWAYS REMAIN SO…

    Whitney???
    Madonna???
    Diana???
    Who are these…???

    Yeah, Whitney had a voice indeed but… even in her prime her voice WAS INFERIOR TO MARIAH’S… That’s the truth… 🙂

    And… MERRY CHRISTMAS ІІ YOU… :)))

  27. Bobby from Bulgaria September 20, 2010

    @FoREal:

    So what is your point here…???

    >>> “Don’t be s*** & beautiful, don’t drink, don’t have s**, don’t have fun…???
    Say what??? <<<

    GO BACK TO THE MONASTERY, YOU OLD BORING NUN…

  28. worldmusic September 20, 2010

    ummmRob,

    The only album that struggled to go anything was Mariah’s MOIA which just went gold after nearly 10mths and def jam had to stay putting it on sale for $7.99-$9.99

    Whitney’s I Look to YOu went Gold in less than 4 wks and Plantinum in Sept so stay pressed.

    Whitney only released 2 videos and barely did any promotion herself compared to Mariah who was all over and a US tour and no one wanted to see or hear her.

    STMU! it’s 2009-2010 where the biggest and youngest stars if they sell 2mil it’s a big hit. Whitney sold ~1mil copies in the US and 2.5mil WW, that’s a hit, sure if she promoted more, she would have sold more but she didn’t all in all still a hit.

    She got very sick and had to go to the hospital, yep, some tour dates she didn’t sound that good. I’m not a stan with my head in the sand but also some dates she sound fine.

    You mimi fans crack me up. let’s revisit this thread next year Jan and she how she does.

    @Bobby from Bulgaria, I take it you are under 25 because anyone with sense know that mariah was created to be the White Whitney, do you research only she doesn’t get the respect that Whit gets. How many times have MAriah been honored…..

    I’m not holding my breath!

  29. GangsterA September 20, 2010

    i will buy it i love the cover can’t wait to hear the new oh santa #bestsellingfeamleartistofalltimebitch

  30. scouser September 20, 2010

    she looks gorgeous 🙂 and i cant for this album it will be huge 🙂 love you mariah x

  31. Bobby from Bulgaria September 20, 2010

    @worldmusic:

    I am 30… And I don’t care at all about your conspiracy creation theories…

    I just know that Mariah’s voice, talent and looks are SUPERIOR to Whitney’s and that’s all…

    All the rest – I don’t care about it… 🙂 🙂 🙂

  32. latin86 September 20, 2010

    The cover is cute..not all that but cute..i am glad she is doing classics that she didnt do on the other holiday album and new original songs as well.I am looking forward to that. I am excited. And E=mc2 went platnium and had a number one hit how is that a diseaster you moron! And memoirs went gold and had a platnium single thats moderate. What the hell is kelly rowland doing?…yeah no body cares !! Sit down somewhere!

  33. Christina Marie September 20, 2010

    She couldn’t even take a new picture??? WTF is this? It looks like a mixtape cover. SMH

  34. FUTURESTARdelux September 20, 2010

    @FOR REAL, UGH…. YEAH ACTUALLY I AM A WHITNEY FAN AND HAVE BEEN SINCE I WAS A KID BUT I’M NOT GONNA LICK HER ASS…

    YEAH WHITNEY SOLD OUT HER TOUR AND WHY WAS THAT? BECAUSE LIKE I SAID CLIVE DAVIES MADE A BIG DEAL THAT WHITNEY WAS OFF DRUGS AND BACK TO HER BEST AND SHE DID ALL THESE INTERVIEWS DRESSED UP NICE AND PEOPLE (INCLUDING ME) BELIEVED IT.
    SHE SOLD THE TOUR OUT BUT 80% OF THEM HAD BAD REVIEWS AND EVEN FANS BOOING AND WALKING OUT AND SHE SPENDS LIKE HALF THE CONCERTS TALKING RANDOM S*** INSTEAD OF SINGING TOO.

    YEAH YOUR RIGHT MARIAH DID HAVE A BREAKDOWN BUT WHY WAS THAT? BECAUSE SHE’D BEEN MANIPULATED FROM AN EARLY AGE AND WAS THE BIGGEST STAR IN THE WORLD AND STILL YOUNG (SEE BRITNEY) AND WHY DID WHITNEY HAVE PROBLEMS? BECAUSE SHE DECIDED THAT SNORTING COKE AND RUINING HER VOICE WAS MORE FUN WHICH IMO IS WORSE THAN HAVING THE OCCASIONAL DRINK, I’VE ONLY EVER SEEN MARIAH DRUNK ONCE IN MY LIFE BUT I’VE SEEN WHITNEY HIGH AS A KITE FOR HALF OF MY LIFE.

    SO MARIAH (A 40 SOMETHING YEAR OLD WOMAN) IS A S*** BECAUSE SHE’S SLEPT WITH 6 GUYS (2 OF WHICH SHE MARRIED)? LOL…. THE ONLY REASON WHITNEY WOULD BE CELIBATE IS BECAUSE NOBODY WANTS TO F*** HER.

    AND YEAH I HAVE SEEN THE LATEST PICTURES SHE’S PUT A TON OF WEIGHT ON, SWEATS PROFUSELY AND LOOKS A CRACKED OUT MESS “BOBBAAAAAAAAAAAAY!”

  35. Candy Bling September 20, 2010

    The more you curse me the more you bless me

    Yes, yes, keep hating you bitter shits, Mariah is gonna come back and own each and evveryone of you this winter. The woman is a living legend, so stay trying to write her off but the truth is real talent never ever dies! I will laugh my a*** of when you c**** swallow you evil and sick words against the Queen of Sanging.

  36. Candy Bling September 20, 2010

    TheBaddestBitch your life is pointless! she is doing one because it’s what the fans want so f*** you!

  37. Teflon Boy September 20, 2010

    Lol love Mariah (new voice and old voice) and like prospect of a new album of timeless material…, even if it is Christmas related but, I hate that cover. I don’t get it, Mariah’s look has barely changed over the years so in theory she could get away with using stock photgraphs of herself instead of sloppily and obviously photoshopped snaps of her current self. I don’t get why she didn’t just have something designed like her animated 2009 Christmas card with Nick below. Timely, appropriate and cute…, Jeez Mariah, all the vanity in the world is inexcusable if you’re happy to attach your output to rushed looking artwork only an amateur using photoshop for the first time would create.

  38. Bobby from Bulgaria September 20, 2010

    A little reminder of why MARIAH IS THE GREATEST OF THEM ALL:

    O Holy Night video –
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7LUF24akIs&feature=related

    That’s just unearthly and supernatural… Oh My God, by watching and listening to this video one can experience NOTHING LESS BUT A PURE MIXTURE OF RELIGIOUS AND SEXUAL ECSTASY AND BLISS…

  39. Soulful Roses September 20, 2010

    In my honest opinion..ALL YA”LL NEED TO SHUT THE HELL UP!

    Stop downgrading one to boost the other. Both Mariah and Whitney are extremely accomplished and talented. Both of them have broken down musical barriers and paved the way for inspiring singers in this day and time. The sooner you all realize that, the sooner you will realize that comparing the to is not only pointless, but HILARITY @ its finest. #TEAMMARIAH and #TEAMWHITNEY.. 😀

    Side-note: I also find it funny, that when it comes to Mariah, the only thing people can say is that how much weight shes gained. Because they know they would be lying to themselves if they called her untalented. Mariah sounds better than your fav in her WORST performance #Fact..That is all..

  40. Soulful Roses September 20, 2010

    @Bobby From Bulgaria

    Thanks for the video. I love it 🙂

  41. Chris September 20, 2010

    Mariah was never prettier than Whitney, and Whitney will sing Mariah lipsynching a$$ under a table like she did in “When You Believe”. Whitney is a classic beauty, Mariah is just a pale albino with rat features.

    Clive had nothing to do with Whitne’ys tour, in fact, her tour was selling out way after Clive stop promoting in Oct 09, so you just got debunked right there. MOIA was a major flop, and so will this Christmas album

    When it comes to diva status, Mariah does not rank as high as Whitney, Madonna, Barbara Streisand, or Dianna Ross.

    Mariah is in the same category as Mary J Blige

  42. Leo September 20, 2010

    fUTURESTARDELUXE:

    Now, I know for sure u are not a fan and a hater but you working overtime at hating so I give you credit for that. FYI, Whitney is one of the few stars that don’t crave fame. She said several times that she had made peace with herself and was fine with retiring and dropping out of the limelight. It was her mom and Clive Davis who begged her back.

    If you are a true Whitney fan, you would know from day 1, back in the day, she always sweats and have always used a white hanky in her performances. Just this era, she rarely uses the hanky although she brings it back on and off.

    You would know that most of this is because she rarely sings in A/C as it cuts her voice just like aRetha Franklin doesn’t sing in A/C, go goggle her performances from 1985 and on.

    You could not be a fan because you would know that the only reason Whitney gained weight, you heartless mofo was because she was diagnosed with a very serious upper respiratory infection and had to be hospitalized in Paris. You would know that she suffers from allergies and bronchitis. You would know that she was put on steroids, most likely prednisone which has awful side effects such as weight gain, increased appetite, a ‘moon face’, weight gain in the tummy area etc all of which manifested on her. You would know that as she started to get better, her weight decreased. You would know that the pictures of her, the most recent ones as of Thursday, Sept 17, 2010 where she was photoged with Pat Houston in Beverly Hills going to a business meeting would show that she has lost most of that weight
    http://www.facebook.com/whitneyhouston

    She’s is way smaller than that whale mimo000! but u say u’re a fan! Fan my a**! Sit yo a** down!!

    The pics of her leaving LAX shows a glowing, happy, healthy woman who loves God and gives him the glory every night she sings. She’s no pretend gospel singer, shelives, breaths and eats gospel. She’s ther eal thing and tells it like it is that is why she is so respected and loved by her peers.

    Let’s see Mariah honored at BET and the NAACP numerous times. Let’s see her peers authentically gush over her.

    In case you didn’t know sherlock, alcoholism is also a disease just like drug addiction so you’re just showing your stupidty. It doesn’t’ matter the reason, mariah is a drunk and I and the entire world believe EMinem. There are so many pictures of her either holding a glass of wine, or being tipsy or flat out drunk! She has a habit just like Whitney had a drug habit so you don’t want to go there. mariah also went freaking crazy, you want to blame that one on Tommy as well, came on TRL looking and sounding like a freaking r*****/stripper !

    Her damn label dropped her a**, remember that. Whitney’s been with Arista over 27years, one label! Let’s not get it twisted, all of these artists have flaws as they are all human but stop with the shiz about Whtiney’s drug addiction. She addmited it and moved on. Her fans are fine with it. MAriah is no angel, she has flaws as well that her fans like to pretend doesn’t exist, alcoholic, w****, crazy lunatic that’s on record- put on blast by numerous men!

    Love me some Nippy! Gods’ got her back. That’s why artists such as Monica tribute her every night on tour and preach on how Nippy has always been an inspiration to her professionally and personally and has always been there for her and is ‘The Voice’ same for Brandy, Xtina, J-Hud, Britney (who’s on her Ipod- Nippy not Mariah’ don’t get it twisted.

    You all tried this same ish when Memoirs of A Fallen Angel came out and didn’t do what you all thought it would do. Remember that remix album, what happened to that…..flop! 2 features with the hottest female rapper, Nicki Minaj and with Ne-Yo and still flopped! Check Mariah in that H.A.T.E U video looking like Shamu! lmbo! Don’t try coming for Nippy, you best fall back now!
    and if her kindergarten husband know what’s best for him, he would leave Eminen alone. What female artist had their whoredom put on blast and immortalized on a m** stream. Mariah’s slept with so many dudes after Tommy, it’s ridiculous, I think there’s a name for that ….Nympho!

  43. Samiam September 20, 2010

    I don’t think anybody can compare Whitney and Mariah’s tours. Whitney toured in Europe. David Hasselhoff can tour there and sell out. We all know what her sales would have looked like if she toured in the states. Both tours were bad. Whitters had bad reviews, and a huge audience. While Mariah had no audience and good reviews.

    As for Sam, dude you’re never going to get an interview Mariah. Former chart topper? You don’t address Toni or Janet that way. A journalist is supposed to not be biased. At this point, why would Mariah ever entertain one of your requests for an interview? And, if her new voice isn’t suitable I guess Whitney has no biz recording another album either. And, I didn’t know that selling platinum (E=MC2) was considered a flop. I guess 99.9% of the albums released these last few years are flops as well.

  44. truevoicelover September 20, 2010

    The album cover looks the same as everything else she has done in her career. Tacky & airbrushed.
    When she was younger she could get away with the hooker look. Her bed hoping got everyone behind her in the music industry to manipulate the buyers. It came just at the right time when Whitney paived the way and merged black nd white music buyers. MTV & video was used to ‘s** sell’ her, the same way some young female artists do now.
    As for Mariah being the best vocalist, look at the comparison videos on youtube, Whitney pisses all over her, especially on ‘when you believe’.
    She old, fat, lost the bit of voice she had. There is no room for her now other than a novelty Xmas CD. Whitney – GTH, US dates, GTH soundtrack & all with no promo true Diva

  45. Mely B September 20, 2010

    I love Mariah and will probably add this to my collection so that I can have her whole catalog but I’m really not anticipating it being a classic – I still rock her original Xmas album all year round !

    In terms of her music career at this point, I really wish the courageous Mariah who ditched the MOR crown (MUSIC BOX) to go left with BUTTERFLY would come back with more mature music out and stop doing music that panders to kids who find her irrelevant and do more tracks like SUBTLE INVITATION, FLY LIKE A BIRD, LANGUISHING, etc.

  46. LAX September 20, 2010

    mariah ,,,,,has sold 200million albums and counting
    she has nothing to prove, she is already a made ICON.

  47. Samiam September 20, 2010

    Leo nobody is going to read all that.

    1. Mariah’s remix album never came out. So, how did it flop????? LOL
    2. Yes, Monica is covering Whitney songs (great). Aretha covered Touch My Body at numerous shows of hers
    3. Whitney gained weight due to illness that is heartless to make fun of. However, then you go on to make fun of Mariah’s weight gain due to IVF treatments. Hi hypocrite!!!!!!!

  48. Bobby from Bulgaria September 20, 2010

    @truevoicelover:

    Ha ha ha… Oh please, don’t even mention the “When You Believe” song…

    Cuz it’s the BEST WAY TO SHOW THAT MARIAH IS FAR GREATER THAN WHITNEY…

    Mariah has diversity, range and sweetness, Whitney is flat and boring… Sorry… 🙂

  49. TheBaddestBitch September 20, 2010

    Yes she’s an icon and that’s why we don”t want her to ternish her image even more and the musical legacy she already left in this world.

  50. O LeDoIt September 20, 2010

    The cover looks a lil Ghetto/ Cheesy/ Wal-Mart-ish. . . . and thank God for photoshop.
    ps Mariah will never be better than WHITNEY

    @SamIAM:

    I could engage you in a conversation as you’re not hyper about either but lets’ get real, David Hasseldorf is big in selected European cities not all across Europe and Australia. Also, I have to say as a person that watched most of Whitney’s and Mariah’s tour footage, Whitney had some stellar moments that the media ignored. They realized that she draws attention and interest so they chose to highlight the bad footage and in some respects, flat out make up stories about her. What I give Whit credit for is actually going out there, dancing off the cuff and choreographed numbers and singing live! I give her a pass for portions of For the Lovers as she sang along to t a track but she was freaking dancing her b*** off. Pretty good for a 47yr old. If Whitney toured here, I’m not sure how she would do not because she is ‘washed up’ but because the market in the US is bad for most acts that see American Idol’s dismal #s, Xtina canceling her tour, Mimi’s sad #s and the like plus she doesn’t have an album out or anythig to promote .

    Mariah had trouble filling several theatres, yes she had a 80% attendance rate but most of those venues were 3-5k capacity so that 80% doesn’t mean anything. ON several of her dates she sounded good and on just as many she used backing tracks or lipped high notes/whistle notes. Her tour, she is stiffer than Rihanna. Mariah has literally no stage presence at all, I mean at all!

    I would say that Mariah is an ICOn but a lightweight one. She is recognized as one for her chart stats but really, she is not as respected that is why on just about every best singer/artist lists, she barely registers or registers lower than Whitney.

    Her fans need to stop the shade. The last time they did this, it turned people off majorly from mariah and she needs every sale she can get!
    To those calling out Sam, need I remind you all that Trent did this same Ish with the Monica post, dissing Whitney all up in it when Monica was tributing and showing Whitney respect. Sam didn’t even mention another artist in Mariah’s post so you all need to stop whining.Trent does this mess most of the time that’s why many of those fans of these artists won’t buy ish from MAriah…..her fans turn people off!

    Right Now, Whitney most likely will star in Terry McMillan’s ‘Getting To Happy’, Waiting to Exhale 2 and hopefully that will be a success as all of Nippy’s albums are and go on to be cultural events…..just saying , ‘Cinderella’ was just played on BET last night and Waiting to Exhale was just on tv last week as was The Bodyguard in England. When was the last time a Mariah carried movie got replay status that much…… Whitney has one every award except an Oscar,…Grammy, Emmy, NAACP, MTV, BET, honored by VH1, Billboard, female with the most AMA awards, the list goes on and on

  52. LMAO September 20, 2010

    How did this Mariah thread turn into a Whitney thread? That just shows how insecure and threatened Mariah’s fan are against other divas.

    Always remember, Whitney was Mariah’s teacher.
    And @Bobby from Bulgaria you looking real f*****-like with ya Bytch tendacies.
    Mariah is a has-been…irrelevant

  53. mgaskwater September 20, 2010

    WHATEVER for the HATERS!!! But we “thank you” for the time that you put in this ‘lil big topic.

    You start yappin’ again ‘coz Mimi is gonna be out there once again to share her songs…

    The reason why she still releases songs its because show produces it and she does not wait for nobody to give her damn songs unlike ALOT of artist i know of do that.

  54. Leo September 20, 2010

    @SamIAM:

    no one is making fun of Mimi’s weight gain from IVF treatment, people are talking about her weight gain even before then and let’s not get it twisted, most Whit fans are civil and are never threatened because we know whitney’s legacy is royalty and anyone after her walks in her shadow. However, Mariah fans like to bring up her past drug use even though she went to rehab, admitted it and moved on with her life. There is no evidence that she has relapse and she doesn’t party or hang out or the like.

    Mariah fans do this and forget about Mariah’s issues which then become fair game i.e alcoholism, weight gain, lipping, numerous men partners

    Not only does Monica cover Whitney, Jennifer Hudson covered Whitney ever y night of her tour, Fantasia and Shontelle and Xtina clearly and romintently claims Whitney as an idol and influence. Aretha Franklin is Whitney’s god-mother sherlock and her momma sung back up for Aretha and Elvis Presley…next!

    Her remix album is a flop because it didn’t come out idiot! Why is that? because the powers that be realized that the two singles despite the features failed to do anything on radio- they were both flops so even Stevie Wonder could see that the album would have been an embarrassment if released! Flop!!

    I rest my case.

  55. mgaskwater September 20, 2010

    Ha ha… 🙂 Can you… umm… suck…?
    Yeah, that’s right… You’re doing it real good… 🙂

  57. Samiam September 20, 2010

    @ Exhibit they both have their fair share of awards. Sooooooooooooo? All I know is Billboard wrote an article in 2003 about Europe being the place to boost sagging tour sales. They said acts like Lionel Ritchie were able to post big numbers and play in big venues. The tours were incomparable. They shouldn’t be compared until Whitney tours the States (which would be a horrible idea). With that said, both fan groups are wrong. Trent is wrong and Sam is wrong. Sam was throwing shade long before Trent even appeared on this site. Can Lambs be horrible yep. However, take a look at some of the Whitney fan comments. Like I said neither side is blameless or faultless.

  58. Mike September 20, 2010

    Love the cover! Mariah is still the #1 Diva! Out of the big 3, Celine Whitney Mariah, Mariah has managed to remain relevant and people STILL talking about her and looking forward to her new material. Those other 2 are nothing but washed up, especially Whitney and that horrendous voice!

  59. mgaskwater September 20, 2010

    Both have their faults and flaws…

  60. Samiam September 20, 2010

    @ Leo you rest your case? The singles from I Look To You flopped on radio, but the album did what? Mariah had a radio hit with Obsessed, but the album did what? Katy Perry had/ is having some huge radio hits but her album is tanking. So, is radio still the all be indicator of an album’s potential success?

    * I don’t think there was any weight gain before the IVF treatments. How would you even know that to be true. You’d have to know when she started her IVF treatments. Which would be pretty impossible unless your her gynecologist

    * You won’t get Mariah fans to acknowledge her issues without them throwing up Whitney’s. Nobody should want to have convos about Whitney’s drug abuse. So, why should Mariah fans be talking up her faults???

    *All those girls you have named have all said nice things about Mariah as well. What is your point?

    I think everybody should stop trying to down the other diva. They are both ICONIC in their own way PERIOD

  61. Samiam September 20, 2010

    @ Mike, Whitney isn’t washed up. Her last album sold more than Mimi’s.

  62. mgaskwater September 20, 2010

    Goodness… compare, compare, and compare more…

    So what “who sold more than who…”

  63. nippyBY September 20, 2010

    All those girls don’t go on tour and memorialize MAriah by singing her songs and talking about how she is the greatest…they don’t’ say Mariah, they say Whitney! That’s the point and that was in response to your Aretha sang ‘touch my body’. check it,Aretha is Whitney’s godmother and has sung on vinly with her, ‘it isn’t it wasn’t, it ain’t never gonna be’. Whitney has been in the studio as a little girl and teenager when Arether was recording so u want to stop right there.

    Whitney’s provided background vocals from a teenager on Chaka Khan’s original ‘I’m every woman’, Lou Rawls, Material etc #Veteran

    Mariah was fat on Hateu video/Oprah performance etc and u don’t know when her IVF treatments started either so same goes for you. Just like there is proof in recent pics from Thurs/Frid that Whitney lost her weight which was medically gained. She’s been small all her life.

    Back on topic- the cover looks like a mixtape, home made photoshopped, publisher cover. Just like she deceives her fans with her lipping she;s trying to deceive with her weight/shape. Everyone photoshops but this size is beyond reality! Trent likes to shade other artists but Nippy fans ain’t like Kelly’s or Xtina. We know where the dirt lies and ain’t nobody throwing unecessary shade on Whitney.

    Whenever Trent or lambs bring up whit past drug use, we’ll bring up that she’s a drunk, a crazy itch and a damn bus stop! How many men than hop on and off her!
    We’ll see if her xmas album goes platinum and how many vids she’ll have!

  64. Bluekid September 20, 2010

    Where’s “Hot Damn”, “Nicky” girls tell them Rihanna is shitting on her!
    The Queen of s*** is shitting on everybody!
    Where them Riho fans, where you guys at?

  65. Leo September 20, 2010

    @SamIam:
    You’re one of the few lambs with any sense so I’ll keep it decent and mature. Yes, they are both ICONS, anyone who says otherwise is not serious. Howeve,r there is a level to the Iconess. There is Michael, Whitney/ Madonna,Prince then there is Janet, then there is Mariah, then Mary J blige-that’s the pecking order

    Regarding sales, Whitney has never been a singles artist. Her last studio album was out before the digital age i.e Just Whitney so she never cultivated that technology and most r&b/pop urban lady singers don’t do well on Itunes ie. Whitney, alicia keys, mary J blige etc

    I’d say Arista is more happier with Whitney album sales 2.5mil and by the way she did have co-writing credits on 3 songs. Def Jam probably didn’t make much money of MOIA or just broke even. Yes, she had the Elle Magazine insert but I bet they lost money and won’t do that again.
    ILTY
    2 vids shot the same day
    2 proper singles
    1 radio single
    only 1 week at retail for $9.99

    MOIA
    3 videos
    3 singles – obsessed/hateu, I wanna know what love is
    obsessed- gucci feature
    album on sale for $7.99-$9.99 for weeks at Best Buy/Target to help the album go gold

    Angel’s Advocate/MOIA remixed
    2vids
    Angel’s cry- f/ne-yo
    Up out my face- f/nicki minaj

    2 singles
    Those features cost money and those videos.

    That’s not adding what they had to pay for all the other features on the remix album that was shelved, studio time, etc

    2.5mil albums and about 400k singles sold
    vs
    820k albums and about 1.4mil singls

    U don’t have to be einstein to see what was more profitable.

  66. TheYoungLion September 20, 2010

    Us Whitney fans are ready to laugh at this new era, sheer comedy….. Oh Mariah and her lying fake ass lambs

  67. Samiam September 20, 2010

    @NippyBy if you’re not a fan why did you even bother clicking on the thread. You had ill intentions from the start. So, that makes you no better than the LAMBS.

    * Yes, she was big on Oprah and the beginning of promo for Memoirs. I think it’s safe to say she was doing IVF then as well. Her publicist said Mariah was aware of her weight gain, and couldn’t do much about it. IT doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out what that means. She was doing IVF then as well.

    * No, those girls don’t sing Mariah songs. That doesn’t take away from the fact that they’ve all given her praise. So again, what’s your point?? Like it’s impossible for artists to like both Mariah and Whitney. Do you want to get into the well, “the say Whitney more” arguement? That’s just petty on your behalf

    *People see the stuff your writing and they’ll just wait to hate on the next Whitney post. Why not grow up. And, be a part of the solution and not the problem. You’re no better than Trent when you do this.

  68. mgaskwater September 20, 2010

    Sick pathetic comments… u know who u r… Drugs isn’t the way to go…

  69. Samiam September 20, 2010

    @ LEO

    Umm Mariah’s cd should have been cheaper. The packaging didn’t come in a case. And, it was paid for by Elle. IDJ didn’t pay for it.

    * As far as profitability I don’t think either label is happy. There is no way either label made money.

  70. Bluekid September 20, 2010

    I have been longing for a nice Christmas album, I love Christmas music playing during the holiday’s. I will be buying this album and Mariah is an Icon, I don’t know any one who has has as many it hits has her.

    Mariah can make a come back, Witeney has a lot of emotional problems, it’s pretty much over for her.

    Mariah is an ICON!

  71. Bluekid September 20, 2010

    Who’s buys a album because of the cover????

  72. Leo September 20, 2010

    @mIKE

    See I can talk to SamIAM because at least he is not delusional
    Whitney washed up! I think not, wherever she goes, she attracts attention, hate her or love her or in between people can’t stop talking about her. That means people care about what happens to her. She stays away and does’t push herself on people that is why when she does appear or does something, it gets attention.

    Mariah at this point is fighting irrelevancy. Her MOIA had way more promo than ILTY and while it went Gold, I’m sure Reid and mariah expected at least MC2 #s. No one takes Mariah serious whether she writes or not. She won’t be taken seriously until she acts her age and stop dressing like a 18yr t*** or penning juvenile lyrics…..’ up out my face boy…..’ really, really!

    Mariah’s album did next to nothing in Europe. She was on the biggest show in the UK, X Factor and it still didn’t help her album, She was on Xfactor Italy didn’t help, German promo was scrapped because nothing she did helped her album to sell. Damn, Barbra Streisand who is 1000 yrs old and PAramore beat MOIA on the charts, what does that say about irrelevancy.

    Grow up, Mariah can bounce back, even I can admit that, she needs an image change that’s all.

  73. sugarwalls September 20, 2010

    Enough of hatred people!!
    Christmas is nearing let’s give love and lots of it while MC holiday album plays on the background!!!!

  74. Leo September 20, 2010

    @SAMIAM:

    Wrong again. Sony cited ILTY as one of the albums that contributed to their %increase in market share and profitablity 4th quarter 2010. There was an article published onit. ILTY made money – no doubt about it. Just because MOIA probably didn’t’ don’t try to bring Whitney in it.
    ILTY
    2.5mm albums = $25mil (assuming album sold for $10- sony probably made more as cds are more in Europe- probably $14 but I’ll be nice)
    400k singles = $400k
    2 vids, less promotion outside of the 2 listening parties which was just the rental and catering.
    songwriters, producers, Akon
    Whitney pays her onw promo i.e DWTS, Oprah, AMAs etc that was it she did not more promo in the US and only Instyle mag- she said that she will never speak on what she talked about on Oprah ever again, one time and that’s it
    X-Factor UK, X-Fact Italy, Wetten Daas – Germany
    that’s it for promo

    MOIA
    804k albums = $8mil
    1.4mil singles = $1.4mil

    several magazines
    Oprah, The View, NBC, America’s Got Talent, Lopez Tonight, Letterman, Ellen
    UK Xfactor, Italy Xfactor, Japan 2 tv shows and promo trip, UK mall appearance, Alan Carr and a few other UK appearances
    5 videos, multiple features and producers -Mary J Blige, Nicki Minaj, Ne-yo, Gucci Mane, Jodeci, The Dream, OJ da Juice Man, Trey Songz(not sure about him) R Kelly etc, etc I’m sure they didn’t work for free

  75. FUTURESTARdelux September 20, 2010

    OH PEOPLE COULD ARGUE FOR DAYS OVER MARIAH V WHITNEY BUT PUT IT THIS WAY. FROM MY POINT OF VIEW I’M A FAN OF BOTH BUT I PREFER MARIAH BECAUSE SHE’S MORE OF MY TIME THAN WHITNEY WHO FOR EXAMPLE MY MUM & DAD PREFER.
    THEY BOTH HAVE AMAZING TALLENT AND BOTH ARE LEGENDS BUT THE FACT IS THAT MARIAH IS THE 2ND BIGGEST SELLING FEMALE IN HISTORY (AFTER MADONNA) WITH SALES OF 175,000,000 ALBUMS SO THAT ALONE TELLS YOU THAT MORE PEOPLE ARE INTO HER EVEN IF IT ISN’T INDICATIVE OF TALLENT.
    TO ME MARIAH AND WHITNEYS VOICES ARE LIKE THE SUN AND THE MOON, DIFFERENT BUT ALWAYS COMPARED.

    THE REASON WHITNEY IS GETTING HONOURED SO MUCH IS BECAUSE SHE IS OLDER AND NO DISSRESPECT BUT SHE IS IN THE TWILIGHT OF HER AMAZING CAREER WHEN SHE’S TAKING THINGS SLOWER ETC AND THAT’S WHEN ARTISTS START GETTING ALL THE LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARDS AND STUFF BUT MARIAH ISN’T AT THAT STAGE YET BUT WHEN SHE IS SHE WILL GET THOSE AWARDS TOO.

    I ADMIT I WAS HARSH ON WHITNEY BUT I DONT BUY INTO EVERYTHING THAT IS PUT OUT BY HER TEAM AND NEITHER SHOULD YOU, I KNOW PEOPLE ON DRUGS WITH ADDICTIONS TO BOTH ALCOHOL AND COKE ETC AND I BELIEVE WHITNEY IS STILL ON DRUGS WHETHER YOU BELIEVE THAT OR NOT AND I ALSO BELIEVE THAT YES MARIAH MAY HAVE BEEN A HEAVY DRINKER (BEFORE THE PREGNANCY) BUT I WOULDNT SAY SHE WAS AN ALCOHOLIC, HAVE YOU EVER SEEN HER FALLING ALL OVER THE PLACE DRUNK (BESIDES THAT ONE TIME AT AN AWARDS SHOW)? NO.

    WE SHOULD PRAISE BOTH THESE WOMEN FOR THERE TALLENTS, ACHIEVEMENTS AND LEGACIES AND NOT PICK APPART THEIR APPEARENCE WHICH I ADMIT I WAS WRONG FOR DOING. AS FOR DIVA THEY ARE BOTH DIVA’S BUT TO MOST PEOPLE MARIAH IS THE DEFINITION OF A DIVA LOL

  76. LAMB September 20, 2010

    To ALL you f****** haters!!! DIE B******, DIE!!! Hope you all burn in hell for trashing Mimi every chance you get, please get a life. #thatisall

  77. Sarah September 20, 2010

    Ugh. I wish this news was posted by Trent.

    Don’t tell Mariah what to do with her own songs, q**** Sam. If she wants to remake one of her classics, she has every right to. Go some where else because with your annoying talking voice, you sound like you’ve been gargling marbles.

    I never see you posting about Whitney, and throwing shade at her busted vocals. Yet you like to throw shade at Mariah, and Rihanna because of the way they sing.

    To all you dumbass Whitney stans, at least Mariah can still sing, and doesn’t have people running out of her concerts just because her voice is a horrible pain on their ears unlike Whitney’s. Her tour received awful reviews, and Mariah’s last tour garnered rave reviews because of great she sounded.

    Fyi, Whitney’s comeback CD is a flop and she couldn’t even push 1 million copies in the US and all of the singles released from ILTY flopped also.

    At least when Mariah came back in 2005, her album sold over 10 million copies, had two #1 hits and won 3 grammy awards unlike Whitney who was completely shut out of the grammy awards ceremony lmao.

    You all are so insecure and threatened by Mariah, that you can only compare ILTY to Memoirs. At least Memoirs did have a hit single and the album managed to go gold. Face it. Whitney to Mariah is yesterdays news, and is no longer competition.

    Whitney barely made it on tour. She can’t even sing anymore. Her voice is in the worst shape it has ever been in. Whitney has lost her only musical talent. Sad.

    I’m looking for to M2U!

  78. RosaRubbel September 20, 2010

    I love Mariah, but I’m not a fan of this project AT ALL. Her christmas album is an all-time-classic & she’ll destroy the greatness of it with a follow up, because you can’t replace such a classic. A studio album would have been better for me.

  79. Leo September 20, 2010

    @Futurestardeluxe
    I cant’ at the misinformation, immaturity and flat out hilarity that the mimi fans bring. Let me school you my child, lawdy, lawdy,lawdy

    Honors
    Whitney is the most awarded female as noted in the Guiness Book of Records which was at 411 awards before ILTY came out, she’s probably at 418 now
    Many of those awards she got before she was 34 years old, hardly twilight. Do your research:
    She got the msot awards awarded to one person at the Billboard Music Awards- 8
    She was the first to get the BET Walk of Fame and I believe Honors award, She also got BET Ledgends awards
    NAACP,
    Most awarded female from the American Music Awards -22- aint no other female touching that anytime soon
    She got the AMA achievement award last year during ILTY era but the 21 awards they gave her came before that so you #fail

    She refused to work or do business for business affilaited with apartheid before South Africa changed. She was one of the first artist to play in S.A after Apartheid and there are pics with her with Nelson Mandela who loves her
    She’s played Wembly numerous times and donated so much $ for South Africa, you lambs have no clue

    Regarding drugs:
    Just like I can’t prove Whitney is off drugs, you can’t prove that up until this pregnancy she wasn’t a drunk and yes there are many pics of her with liquor in her hands and a tape of her drunk as hell talking to 2 of her fans. I’m not going to go into drugs/alcohol as they are both diseases and I take Whit at her word as she has been truthful about this. She looks great and I don’t know any addict who would be able to keep all their tour dates, on time, no cancellations, no forgotten words- there were no press reports ever of her partying or stumbling or being high on tour- Krissi was front and center as well as her adopted son for EVERY tour date, her brother Gary and sister in law so again you #Fail

    Albums
    Mariah selling more than Whitney does not mean people prefer her more. You left out that Whitney has done far fewer albums than Mariah and STILL has sold a boat load of albums.
    Whitney- 8 studio album
    2 greatest hits
    Mariah-
    12-14 studio albums
    2 greatest hits
    BIG difference and whit STILL has sold about 175-190mil cds, dvds and singles
    Yes, they are both talented but let this drug s*** go because she’s rehabilitated and healthy and nothing will ever diminish her iconic status and what she has brought to the industry. When you guys come for her, be prepared to get pushed back.
    Now, onto Mimi’s christmas album!

  80. WATEVA September 20, 2010

    @LEO I AM NOT A “LAMB” I DON’T STAN FOR MARIAH I STAN FOR (CHRISTINA AGUILERA, BRITEY SPEARS, KYLIE MINOGUE, CRYSTAL KAY, UTADA HIKARU, BJORK & KATE BUSH) ANYBODY ELSE I AM A FAN OF SO DON’T TRY AND SAY I’M TOO STUCK ON MARIAH.
    I DIDN’T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT WHITNEYS PREVIOUS AWARDS & ACHIEVEMENTS (WHICH SHE DESERVED) I WAS TALKING ABOUT THE LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARDS ETC THAT SHE IS RECIEVING AT THE MOMENT.

    I HAVE NO IDEA WHY YOU BROUGHT SOUTH AFRICA UP….

    WHITNEYS 6 STUDIO ALBUMS SOLD 75M
    MARIAH’S FIRST 6 STUDIO ALBUMS SOLD 95M

    WHITNEY HAS 11 No1’S
    MARIAH HAS 18 No1’S

    THE REASON I’M POINTING THIS OUT IS BECAUSE IT’S FACT NOT TO PUT ONE OVER THE OTHER AND AS FOR DRUGS I DIDNT SAY SHE WAS DEFINATELY ON THEM STILL I SAID IT WAS MY OPINION THAT SHE WAS JUST LIKE IT’S YOURS THAT SHE’S NOT.

  82. HBF82 September 20, 2010

    Excuse me, I’mma let you finish but the biggest lamb on this site keeps throwing shade on Whitney so I’d say the lambs stay pressed but it’s okay, I understand how inferiority complexes work. Numbers don’t like
    $42mil vs $9mi.
    2.5mil vs 800k
    to that silly person 2005 albums were selling a heck of a lot more back them and EOM was not Mariah’s comeback, remember charmbracelet after her stint at the cuckoo house and even back then cds were selling way more. Mariah fans just like to revise history!

    I don’t have time to do research but you are pulling numbers out sho a**! You’s another one who needs to hae a seat!
    Whitney’s debut sold at least 25mil ww
    The BodyGuard – over 44mil sold worldwide

    That’s just two albums with over 69mil sold, Get the F*ck outta Here!
    I agree Mariah’s sold more but don’t throw shade and lie on Whitney’s accomplishments, she ‘s sold more per album and has put out fewer albums due toher incessant touring and her movies and production of movies that you damn lambs like to pretend that whitney was only a singer and Mariah is a signer and a writer

  87. Bobby from Bulgaria September 20, 2010

    @Leo:

    Whatever you say… you can’t change the fact that MARIAH IS THE GREATEST OF ALL SINGERS… There’s NOBODY ELSE LIKE HER…

    If you see one – show them now… Somebody that could sing like that… I know, there has never been one, and there isn’t now… SHE’S UNIQUE… And that’s it…

    Yes, there are entertainers like MJ, Madonna, Janet, Prince, etc. but… when it comes to vocals… it’s only Mariah, Whitney, Celine… AND ON THE TOP IS MARIAH… 🙂

  88. Pam Left This Part Out The Article September 20, 2010

    “…..Three years later, Mariah surpassed Elvis when “Touch My Body” (from E=MC²) became her 18th #1 Hot 100 hit. “Touch My Body” spent two weeks at the top, Mariah’s 78th and 79th cumulative career weeks at #1, which tied Elvis’ long-standing all-time high of 79 weeks at #1, as calculated by Billboard. Mariah is now positioned as the only active recording artist in the 50 years of the Hot 100 (which began in 1958) with the potential to surpass the Beatles’ all-time high of 20 #1 hits. The success of E=MC² brought total sales of Mariah’s albums, singles and videos to more than 200 million worldwide, distancing her even further from the pack as the top-selling female recording artist in HISTORY.”

    Source: MariahDaily

  89. Leo September 20, 2010

    hmm…let’s not talk about how mariah got much of her #1s by selling them for 4.49 and $.99 back in the day when singles were $1.99 and repressing it. She got alot out of that marriage to Tommy, lmao!

    Who cares about those #1s, good for her and her stans but they dont bring her respect.

    back to her christmas albums does anyone think this will peak at #1 at anytime this year, will it go gold, will it generate a top 10 hit?

  90. Sarah September 20, 2010

    Showbiz…yet another dumb Whitney stan. Do you realize that albums are still selling like crazy? Take artists like Lil Wayne, Taylor Swift, Beyonce Knowles, Eminem, etc.

    Isn’t Eminem’s latest album selling like hotcakes right now, not to mention his mega hit single with Rihanna? Yet another idiot who needs to get his/her facts straight.

    Taylor Swift’s Fearless album is a chart knockout and is still selling. Take a look at Lady GaGa as well.

    Whitney can’t even tour the US because she’s too chickened s*** to do so. Lets see what her numbers would be like here. I guarantee you she would flop hard, and wouldn’t be able to do the arenas like she did overseas.

    The people in Europe and else where are generally more accepting. So the success of her tour over in those markets comes to no surprise.

  91. RATED X September 20, 2010

    yes, cant wait to get that album..

    umm, what the hell is that on the cover?

    @ RIK

    Its not the fact that she used photoshop, it’s the fact that she used it to the point where she looks 21 again. Can we say to the high heavens?

    Anyway, not only should she not remake AIWFC, she should leave alone another Christmas album. Her first Christmas album was a classic, including the first single. She will never top that, I don’t care how much studio wizardry they use to make her sound decent. That’s like MJ(if he was still alive) doing a Thriller 2 and remaking Billi Jean. Where dey do dat at???

  95. Altered_Reality September 20, 2010

    Btw if I’m not mistaken that’s the exact same pose she did on her first Christmas album. How whack.

  96. JJ September 20, 2010

    LOL she probably grabbed rejected photo sesh from her last Christmas album

  97. the kiddz September 20, 2010

    Whitney’s only peer is Mariah. Why is this being debated? They are two of the most influential voices of the 20th century. Who cares about sales. Whitney is THE VOICE. Mariah THE SONGBIRD SUPREME.

    Anyway, can’t wait for the album.

  98. Leo September 20, 2010

    SARAH:

    I’m not gonna generalized and say that all Mariah fans are as dumb as Sarah, what a ignorant dumbazz you are!
    Taylor Swift 21yrs not sure but I think 6mil US, mabye 8 or 10mil WW -debut album
    Rihanna 22 yrs Rated R, 980k US, 2.8 WW
    Eminem 34yrs or so and he’s a rapper 2.5mil US about 3.5 or 4mil WW
    Lady Gaga 23 4.5mil combined album sales and about 10mil WW
    Beyonce 29yrs 3mil US, 5 or 6mil WW IASF
    Britney Circus- less than 2mil US and less than 4mil WW

    Whitney is freakin 47 B*tch! By the time she was 22, she had a debut album with 4 #1s selling 25mil ww, 13mil in the US
    By the Time Whitney was 29, she had the BG and that sh*t sold 44mil worldwide, countless awards, a 2yr tour, one of the best selling singles in history. None of those female artists have a diamond album so why bring them up- Whitney has just about 3!

    None of the people you listed did what Whitney did at their ages so again you fail! Most know that once you hit 40, it’s hard to get radio airplay for a woman, Mariah will see that two and show me any other female artist in the US at Whitney’s age slaying with her numbers, not even Madonna! I rest my case AGAIN!

    There are hardly any female stars of Whitney’s or MAriah’s age or younger doing Arena tours in the US because the touring market sucks here. If she tours here, it will be a short tour of theatres. It doesn’t matter where she toured, she freakin made $42mil, stay pressed! now carry on with your stupidity!

  99. Theman September 20, 2010

    Lol at all of the shade you bullshyting fans are throwing at Mariah. Get over it. This album will be a great success. Each of her last albums have all had hits on it. Number ones and top tens. She is everything that a great artist should be. Why u mad. Mariah has nothing to do with Whitney. You idiots.

    A gold and platinum album that sold almost 1.5 million units is far from a flop. You must be an idiot to say that these days. Mariah is a superstar. Whitneys fans need to stop hating. They are both two of the greatest period. Mariah will do her damn thang. This album will be a hit period. Mariah can do what ever she pleases. She’s an incredible talent.

    She does’nt have a new voice, it has matured. She can still blow all this new garbage out of the box. I bet you this album will be nothing short of amazing.

  100. Theman September 20, 2010

    Mariah is one of the biggest most influential icons/artists/singers out. When people sing she’s always one of their biggest inspirations. This woman is a phenomanel talent.

  101. 4 the LOVERS September 20, 2010

    Cover- Cheap and homemade looking, Girl you know your waist IS NOT THAT SMALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and hasn’t been since you were 10, lol.

    Mariah- I like you, HATE your fans though and some of your nursery rhyme music.

    Whitney- DIVA ORIGINALE. The Best that Ever did it, Inspiring Generations all over, including a lesser known singer by the name of Mariah Carey. -See “When Yo Believe”
    I could go on and on but hey, yall already know the deal With Whitney “The Voice”Houston.

  102. dboy September 20, 2010

    this is the first time am really pissed with sam/ trent just cause she had one recent flop album everytime u talk of her u attach it to her, how can one flop outweigh several hit records, it’s only maths. all over the world she is stil known as one of the best selling artistes of the past decade. personally i think memoirs flopped cus it was released prematurely though i agree she shoulda left well enough alone , people will judge it as subpar to the original before even hearing it

  103. Leo September 20, 2010

    The KIDZZ

    I could take what you said. Most Whitney fans are mild mannered and not intimated. We are very secure in ALL of Whitney’s accomplishments and we will readily admit that she has some work to do on her vocals (it’s hard to say how much because she was soooo sick right before the tour and on so much meds during the tour- God Bless Her) and she had pass drug issues but she’s over that.Why heartless people would continue to throw that up at her is stupid, is she out there partying? is she out there being busted in bathrooms or clubs for drugs? is she failing drug tests? is she neglecting her daughter? No, NO, NO! Most of the time she’s home in her condo with Krissi who loves her mom to death,r ead her twitter! We’re not delusional but I’d cut a b*tch word wise when Trent and some fans here who suffer from an inferiority complex tries to throw unecessary shade on Whitney like Mariah is so perfect when anyone who knows her history knows she ain’t!

    Whitney did drugs because the fame got too much for her and because she wasn’t happy, Mariah went freakin crazy because her movie was flopping! Get over it people- Vocals/talent/acting are fine to be discussed but when Trent and lambs want to bring up Whitney’s past drug use expect mariah to get dragged re her alcoholism, her being a basic bottom h** to many industry dudes after Mottola, and her going freakin crazy…capiche! Now we understand each other. I would think that now Mariah’s pregnant,she’s stopped drinking and partying and now that’s she’s married, she’s not f*cking every man that moves!

    Now, having said that, I wish her good luck with the album. I have no idea how it will sell but I have a feeling it may struggle to go gold with so many releases and her original xmas album still selling. I’m guess Def Jam won’t ship the original christmas album and that may be why they remade AIWFCIY to add it to this MC2U to get people to buy the new album.

  104. Bobby from Bulgaria September 20, 2010

    Hey, Leo… I told you something… Go back to your monastery, you nun…

    Don’t tell Mariah who she is and who she should be, OK???

    She’s hot and s***, she’s having S** (yeah, some people do that…), she’s talented and successful, she likes to have some fun, she likes to drink and to get CRAZY… Yeah, I do that too… AND I LIKE IT… 🙂

    And all those numbers, honors, sold out arenas, #1’s, whatever… Who had more, who received more… They don’t mean a thing… The thing that MATTERS is that MARIAH IS THE BEST SINGER EVER… 🙂

  105. Jlobiache September 20, 2010

    this trick is married to NICK CANNON ya’ll. Enough said

    Bwahahahahhahaha

  106. Jlobiache September 20, 2010

    her left thigh couldn’t fit in that dress

    that cover is so wack

  107. Leo September 20, 2010

    Bobby from Bulgaria

    Ain’t nothing wrong with Mariah liking alcohol and fu*king for tracks/beats/#1s/features etc but don’t come for other artists and bring up their past problems when mariah isn’t perfect herself.

    Carry on!

  108. Gareth September 20, 2010

    That is a cheap, tacky cover but the album could potentially be quite good – I hope.

  109. FLOPnetFLOPson September 20, 2010

    Mr. M & XTINAARMY: Given that you stan for TRASHtina, you both are probably experts at flops.
    CHRS: More like Memoirs: 700K, top 10 hit, most platinum singles by a female, longest running number 1 song in Brazil.
    I Look to Drugs: 3x platinum, nothing close to a hit.
    …..by the way, hows SHITneys Christmas album doing….exaclty.

  110. FLOPnetFLOPson September 20, 2010

    Why are you comparing S****** and Mariahs personal lives?
    So Mariah had a physical breakdown and admitted HERSELF into the hospital because of being overworked (cleared up that mess about considering s****** with Barbara Walters)….So she had one flopped movie, but retaliated with the biggest selling album of 2005….So she gave ONE drunk acceptance speech that people thought were charming (including Helen Mirren, Sean Penn & Jason Bateman)….So she slept with several men but chose to keep it private (especially with FEMinem)
    ….This makes her a bad person?
    S****** CHOSE to marry the King of R&B Bobby Brown….She CHOSE to devote her life to drugs….She CHOSE to go on a terrible tour and COUGH, SWEAT, AND SNEEZE her way through performances.

  111. G.U.S September 20, 2010

    So beautiful cover!!!!!!!!!!! Her songs will be a good surprise!!!!!! New voice, new song, new christmas and new single!!!!! Oh santa!!!!!! I cant wait hear it!!!!! Mariah on top of the world this holidays!!!!!!! Haters you’re dead!!!!!!!

  112. FLOPnetFLOPson September 20, 2010

    @ LEO
    Without Clive Davis, S****** has NO CAREER (see Just S******, One Wish for FLOPmas, etc.) He built the hype for CRACKney’s “comeback” album since 2004! And I swear he openly said that she was gonna release new material every year since then. And did Mariah have to put a sticker saying “The most anticipated album of the year” on any of her albums like CRACKney’s I Look to Dope? Her album was all hype built from Clive Davis…but the industry backlashed on her when she bumped up the release date to meet grammy cutoff date………………………………………………..and didnt give her a single nomination.

  113. FLOPnetFLOPson September 20, 2010

    @EXHIBIT: How the hell would you know? So just because the teeny boppers at the grammys gave her a standing ovation to applaud her alleged “sobriety” means she is more respected than Mariah? PLEASE! When Mariah picked herself back up, she had actually had to SING, and EARN a standing ovation.
    PS. Need I remind you of CRACKney’s latest performances? Sorry, but the media is laughing at her drugged up ass.

  114. FLOPnetFLOPson September 20, 2010

    @LMFAO
    If Mariah is a hasbeen then what do you consider S******, who hasnt had a top ten hit in well over a decade? At least Mariah still has SOME presence on the charts.
    …so CRACKneys comeback album went double platinum spawning consecutive #1 hit singles, and her European tour sold out everywhere and had fans and critics at her feet with praise…and where is she now?
    Another epic failure coming from someone who puts a drug addict in their ears.

  115. LOL September 20, 2010

    LOL @ all the S****** stans in here talking s*** as usual. Don’t be mad that has-been b**** hasn’t had a #1 single since 1995. Mariah’s last album might’ve flopped but so what? For a supposed “comeback” S****** didn’t do any better. Her album barely went Platinum and all her singles flopped. When Mariah came back her album was the best selling album that year, it went 6 TIMES PLATINUM, had 2 #1 singles, one of which I might add spent 14 weeks at #1. She’s the only artist in music history to have the #1 single of the DECADE 2 decades in a row! When is S****** gonna do that? Mariah’s last tour didn’t sell as much as S******’s but I’d like to see that crack w**** actually attempt another run in the states. She had to run to Eastern Europe where people still must think it’s 1995, even there people walked out of her shows because she could barely even sing. Mariah is gonna SLAY with this Christmas album, the cover might not be that great but who the hell buys music for the cover anyways? STAY MAD HATERS! 🙂

  116. FLOPnetFLOPson September 20, 2010

    @4THELOVERS…Thats exactly what CRACKney will be remembered as…a “diva”. NOT a real musician. She has NO MERIT at all. If Clive Davis hadn’t scooped her up, polished her ghetto mouth and groomed her wig, she wouldnt be successful at all. If S****** hadnt used Aretha, Dionne and her mother’s name during early interviews, she wouldn’t have been successful. And look at her now. STILL working with the same producers, producing the same music as she did in the 80’s, except this time it sounds dated and generic. She WAS a good singer, but she didnt sing anything that I havent heard from Aretha, Barbra or Dionne before.
    …so like I said, “diva”, yes, credible musician, (as S****** has said herself) HELL TO DA NAW.

  117. FLOPnetFLOPson September 20, 2010

    @LOL
    Actually, Mariahs flopped “Memoirs…” did more for her career than S******’s “I Look to Illegal Drug Possesion”. In fact, CRACKney tainted her own image by going on that tour, that had her OWN FANS booing her and complaining to the media.
    Who’s the hasbeen again?

  118. Lenny September 20, 2010

    I can’t understand why people compare Mariah and Whitney.
    Whitney can’t sing anymore. You can hear all of Mariah’s videos from Angels Advocate Tour/ Shte sing “Emotions” like in 1991, she sing “Make It Happen”, “Hero”, “We Belong Together” etc. Mariah’s vocals is amazing. People don’t leave her concerts.

    I’m sure that the new Christmas album will be very succesful cos Mariah is a real singer.

  119. Miss Chick Boom September 20, 2010

    Go Mariah. I will be buying, no one does Christmas music like Mi Mi

  120. Nipster September 20, 2010

    Flopnetflopson:

    Mariah is a bottom b**** h** who f*cks for features and beats! She’s a freaking bus stop, how many industry men than run up in that !

    Yeah, whitney married loser bobby brown and stayed married for 14yrs, she said she never cheated and hasn’t been with anyone serious after her divorce in 2007. On her tour she said many times that she was waiting for the right one. I admire that.

    Mariah had a hit with obsessed, i’d give you that but that came from the eminen diss that caused it to get attention but still a hit is a hit. I’m not mad. So she had a platinum selling single, how much did that album sell!

    Stupid a**, anyone knows that a label would take an album seller over a album that doesn’t sell but have a hit single. How many singles did Susan boyle’s album give? NONE, and no airplay but mommo moved over 3.5mil cds in the US

  121. Nipster September 20, 2010

    Flopnetflopson

    I’m laughing at you. Whitney didn’t have to use anyone’s name to get a contract. Youtube her german interview and read the history books, she was singing back up from a teenager before a deal on chaka Khan’s Lou Rawls and material’s album. she was travelling with her cousin Dionne all over the world on tour. She said that they tried to sign her at age 14 and her momma, Cissy Houston, said no, she wanted her to mature and finish school and that was not clive Davis azzhole.

    Another label wanted her at 18 besides Arista and her mom chose Clive and Arista because of his relationship with her niece Dionne and how well they had treated her.

    Whitney never worked with Harvey Mason, Stargate, akon, Claude Kelley, Alicia Keys in the 80s, you sound so stupid. Many of them weren’t even around them or were kids themselves.

    she worked mainly with Michael Masser and Narada Michael Walden in the 80s and they haven’t been on anything she did in the 90s. You’ll lambs like to make up s*** but Whitney fans know their history.

    Whitney doesn’t need clive for anyting, it just so happens that she is his favorite singer and he has an affinity for her just like she for him.

    Like Mariah didn’t marry and screw Tommy to further her career and wasn’t he married……

    Homewrecker!

  122. Miss Chick Boom September 20, 2010

    I like Mariah but atleast Whitney is not using backtracks and lip syncing her ass off. I’d rather hear her sound like s*** than hear the facke thing.

    And I prefer prime time Whitneys tone more than Mariah.

  123. Sarah September 20, 2010

    Leo,

    You retarded n** case. You really need therapy. It is clear that you’re on crack or some type of drug.

    The point of my post is that there are artists out there that can still sell CDS. I wasn’t actually dissing Whitney when I gave my opinion on album sales, you dumbfuck.

    Gotta love how Whitney stans dwell on her past achievements because they know she isn’t s*** now and her past achievements are all they have left to defend her.

    And of course she’ll do theaters if she toured in the US. What choice would she have? No one in the US wants to see some horrible sounding, non singing, former crackhead doing a arena tour.

  124. Nipster September 20, 2010

    Flopnetflopson

    If credible musician means stripping on TRL, dressing like a 18yr and a classless hooker, writing nursery rhymes and middle school poetry, as a fan of Ms. Houston, I’d pass.

    Whitney is amoung the greats like Ella, Lena and Sarah as Clive Davis says. She is an intrepreter of music and words as she self describes herself. Just about every remake she does, she OWNS it, that takes skill and talent. It’s great to be a writer but write about some substantial deep s*** okay boo! Most of her stuff is middle school pablum just like her album names
    charmbracelet
    rainbow
    musicbox
    where they do that at?

    Mariah has been publicly drunk several times, don’t make it seem like just at that awards show. She’s practically a door mat for guys in the industry to walk on and bust a n** then ‘shake it off’ and move on!

    You don’t want to start none with Nippy fans, cause we can get gutter!

    You could end this right here or I’ll continue to serve you with the hotness on mariah **skeet skeet** Carey!

  125. Kevin September 20, 2010

    Mariah’s gonna wreck with this album.

    I recomend any Whitney fan to just look at one of Whitney’s concert videos to see how much she fails at singing now.

    Then I want you to look at Mariah’s Brazil concert and be amazed. Her voice is as good as ever.

  126. Nipster September 20, 2010

    @Sarah

    I read your post just like Leo and if Whitney fans on crack then you Mariah fans on that ‘lean’ sippin’ that syzuurp!

    You tried to shade Whitney and you got your a** dragged. go fix your lacefront cause it’s leaking glue!

    You brought up singers who have sold more than Whitney’s I Look to You or just as much and Leo pointed out your ridiculous comparison that they are all younger artists and if you compared their sales to Whitney at similar age, she would CRUSH them!

    Next!

    You need to ctrl-alt-delete, then log off from the damn computer!
    We told you all Whitney fans are not christina or kelly fans, we WILL serve your all Back!

  127. Gina September 20, 2010

    Kevin,

    Mariah wasn’t ill in Brazil and some of those clips she did not sound stellar. there were many dates on whitney’s tour that she sounded awesom and I’m fine with that.

    Mariah is gonna wreck with this cd

    There you lambs go sounding cocky again……remember MOIA, you’ll just don’t learn

    Whitney is the truth and when she sings, it’s the truth whether she sounds good , bad or in between, Ms. Houston ainly no lipper, she said herself, she can’t do that mess!

    mariah, that’s another story, she’s perfected the art of lipping and using back tracks so much, she has her PH.d in it.

    keep this mess up Mariah fans- Whitney has admirers from many other artists, all you all do is turn off people from mariah and buying her cds. Keep it up

  128. iLoveXtina September 20, 2010

    Whitney & Mariah are two of the most influential icons in the music industry. Why do you ppl always put them against each other? Love them both equally. If Whitney didn’t do drugs, maybe her voice wouldn’t be as fragile as it is today. Mariah still has it. That’s reality.

    (btw the cover looks alright.)

  129. Gina September 20, 2010

    Sarah, wtf is dwelling on Whitney’s past achievements. I see her fans posting the truth and correcting you’ll lambs revisionist history.

    Here’s the present that was said all in this thread
    I Look to you
    970k US
    2.5mil WW
    World tour $42mil and counting

    AMA legendary award
    BET Honours Award
    NAACP award

    US Platnum
    UKGold, almost platinum
    Italy gold
    Canada Platinum
    Germany Gold/Platinum
    and nurmerous other certs for this album

    How’s that for living in the moment!
    Leave Ms. Houston alone! Talk about Mariah and her christmas , photoshopped cd but when you try coming for Nippy, expect a response!

  130. Gina September 20, 2010

    Chris brought up Whitney and cited album stats which is fair game, FutureStarDeluxe talked about Whitney past drug used and then said she was still doing drug and he made it personal . That openned up the door.

    Whitney is NOT going to get disrespected on this site especially when it is a pack of lies. Whitney didn’t have to go on tour to make money. Last time I checked, she had the highest paying recording contract for a female $100mil for 6 albums. She said that she always had money and was never broke and if anyone knows Whitney, she freaking recycles clothes, wears a uniform at the airport for goodness sake and the same handbag.

    Trust me she is not broke and never was. Everytime The Princess Diaries or The cheetah Girls or Cindereall is played on tv she gets paid, hhmmmm., okay dimwits.

    People saying Whitney can’t sing, that is so tired. That is like saying Michael Jordan can’t play basketball!

  131. Quiana September 20, 2010

    Ok Mariah please stop it with the photoshop please.

  132. Gina September 20, 2010

    Sarah, whitney might be a former drug user but she never friggin lost her mind or threatened to do a Fantasia and kill herself like Mariah did. Forget that one did ya. Let’s not forget that she’s an alkie, Em put her on blast and she’s a past ‘h**’

    Now proceed. I suggest you stop trying to ‘dirty up’ Nippy’s name cause we can get gully and swing right back with that crazy ass loony Mariah!

  133. _Maxriah_ September 20, 2010

    I don’t know WHY you guys are going back and forth.

    Whitney Houston is a crack head who can’t sing live or in the studio and that’s the end of that.

    You guys act as if Mariah’s gained weight because she’s lazy. No, there’s an OBVIOUS reason for her weight gain. If she needs a picture photoshopped then let her and get the f*** over it.

    -They photoshop CRACKney’s age spots and wrinkles.
    -They photoshop Janet’s wrinkles on her hands and neck.
    -They photoshop Madonna’s ENTIRE body just to make her look 30-35.
    -They photoshop Beyonce’s hairline so we can’t see that lace front.
    -They photoshop Chris Browns freckles on his face.
    -They photoshop Rihanna’s cellulite.
    -They photoshop Alicia’s acne.
    -They photoshop Ciara’s…… She needs to just quit.
    -They photoshop Gaga’s ugly ass to make her look more appealing.

    And SAM… I think it’s time you start referring to Kelly Rowland as a “Former Chart Topper”. That reference has been LONG overdue and it’s about time you come to terms with it. Mariah’s last #1 on the Hot 100 was in 08… Kelly’s was in 2002 THANKS to the extreme popularity of Nelly at that time. And should you decide to ponder upon her chart success with Destiny’s Child for even a split second… They’re last #1 single was in 2001. So if you REALLY wanna talking about “Former Chart Toppers”… Kelly’s your girl. I won’t even BEGIN to speak on Mariah actually getting her last #1 single as a SOLO artist. ^__^

  134. _Maxriah_ September 20, 2010

  135. Sarah September 20, 2010

    Gina,

    Go screw yourself. It’s obvious that you’re a n** lol. You nor the rest of these a** s***, bat s*** crazy Whitney stans have no proof that Mariah tried to commit s******. That was a tabloid rumor.

    Whitney already lost her mind from the moment she married Bobby Brown, and started doing those hard drugs. She even admitted on Oprah that she didn’t give a s*** about anything else. Yes, that includes you dumb deluded stans.

    You all want to sit here and call Mariah crazy and looney but you all seem to forget that Whitney Houston is a former crackhead.

    You also want to call Mariah a ho but if I recall, wasn’t it Whit who dated one of the biggest ho’s in Hollywood? Ray J? Brandy’s little brother? That shows what morals she has.

  136. Sarah September 20, 2010

    At the end of the day, it is Mariah Carey who can still sing and carry a tune.

    I’m done with you morons.

  137. Bobby from Bulgaria September 20, 2010

    OK, I’m gonna ask that question again:

    What is wrong with being hot & s*** (yeah, tight revealing clothes, etc. …), having fun, having a drink, having s**, and being crazy…???

    If you have it, then flaunt it.. Ha ha…

    So losers, stop hating… You’re just being jealous… 🙂

  138. 4747 September 20, 2010

    @BOBBY FROM BULGARIA

    MJ and Prince were EXTREMELY gifted vocalists. Do not put Madonna in their category in terms of talent. Janet wasn’t a good singer but she is a better dancer than Madge.

    Celine Dion is overrated.

    Mariah doesn’t sound as good as she used to. Same goes for Whitney. However all 3 women are very talented.

  139. FUTURESTARdelux September 20, 2010

    I LOVE HOW GAGA FANS TR AND SAY SHE’S SOLD 23M ALBUMS WHEN WE ALL SAW SHE WAS CERTIFIED FOR 13M ALBUMS LIKE A MONTH AGO…

  140. Bobby from Bulgaria September 20, 2010

    @4747:

    Yeah, I agree completely with everything you said… 🙂

    Didn’t wanna put any shade on them… Just wanted to say that from the best 3 singers in the world – Mariah is superior… 🙂

  141. juju September 20, 2010

    Oprah even asked Mariah back in 1998 if she was intimidated by working with THE VOICE (aka Whitney)

  142. Gina September 20, 2010

    hmmm Sarah like Whitney famously said, ‘show me the receipts’

    I got some reciepts for mariah, she was admitted to the damn n** house as she was a danger to herself. She left a phone message to her mom that concerned her enough that she would try to hurt herself and we all know that Mariah is fond of leaving voice mail right Eminem

    No one’s denying Whitney’s former drug use, and as drug is a disease and a process, of course it’s known that people in the throws of addiction exclude the world. Now, Mariah is also an alcoholic and that’s been noted several times and please, she was fat before she got pregnant. Cue the IWKWLI video where she looks like Shamu and cue her singing at the end of the E=M2 era.

    Whitney never dated Ray J as in a serious relationship. She went with him on dates as she was divorced and she had functions to go to. RayJ nor Whitney has never stated that they dated ‘for real’ and Brandy said she asked her brother and he said no and she believed him. Sonja Norwood LOVES Whitney and has publicly said it. That woman speaks her mind as she did with Kim Kardashian. she would have said something.

    Back to Mariah being a bus route and a bus stop! H**! H**! H** who fu*ks fo featuers and beats!

    LOL

    for every stat and chart fact you can quote me about Mariah she still gets no industry respect. Talk to me when she starts getting honored

    Whitney is one of the few artists to have a #1 album in 3 decades. She’s 47 so of course she is going to have limited success on the radio. that is the way ageism work in the US so what, as long as her albums continue to go gold and platinum with minimum expenditure, she’s fine. She’s paid any way.

    Now Whoriah, that’s another story. I wonder how Nick must feel when every year another man comes out wit a story about how they nutted on her and screwed her. #H**!

  144. Tanner September 20, 2010

    SARAH

    Until RayJ or Whitney admits to having a relationship which neither has, then they haven’t. However, we have numerous men coming forth and saying that they screwed her! not gossip or 2nd hand info but straight from the horses mouth so that makes her a h** in my book

    No one is forgetting Whitney is a former drug user but she’s past that and if you all lambs insist in calling her S******, crackhead etc well we just call Mariah

    Whoriah
    H**
    Nympho
    crazy
    nutcase
    sucide attempter
    alchoholic
    s***
    chickenhead

    tell her come get these birdseeds over here……….
    ……..

    She good at being a s***!

  145. gina September 20, 2010

    hmmm Sarah like Whitney famously said, ‘show me the receipts’

    I got some reciepts for mariah, she was admitted to the damn n** house as she was a danger to herself. She left a phone message to her mom that concerned her enough that she would try to hurt herself and we all know that Mariah is fond of leaving voice mail right Eminem

    No one’s denying Whitney’s former drug use, and as drug is a disease and a process, of course it’s known that people in the throws of addiction exclude the world. Now, Mariah is also an alcoholic and that’s been noted several times and please, she was fat before she got pregnant. Cue the IWKWLI video where she looks like Shamu and cue her singing at the end of the E=M2 era.

  146. gina September 20, 2010

    Sarah girl keep posting cause u making all the mariah fans look extra stupid

    being a former drug user doesn’t make one crazy
    but being a former patient at the mental asylum on meds and having threatend s****** does make one crazy

    Goes to sip my tea and pop my popcorn

    I told you all treat Nippy with respect or expect to get your wigs pulled. Diss her and Mariah will get dragged! Simple!

  147. _Maxriah_ September 20, 2010

    Of ALL the honor and respect in the world… NOTHING is more precious than one’s SELF RESPECT and SELF HONOR. That’s something CRACKney lacks.

    She can get all the standing ovations and praise she wants thanks to a silly unfitting nick name given to her by Oprah. It doesn’t matter. At the end of the day, Mariah has NO regrets. Can we say the same about the so called VOICE? And if Mariah DOES have a regret, it’d probably be being with Tommy Matola. He was obviously a really big burden and still is.

  148. LOL September 20, 2010

    O lawd, these S****** stans are STILL here talking their b*******? LOL you can keep blabbing about the crack w**** all you want. You’re not going to change anyone’s mind here, Instead of being a bitter stan arguing for hours, trying so desperately to make the crack w**** out to be better. You talk about ILTY as if it was some monster hit LOL that s*** barely went Platinum and had no hit songs. Come to me when Crackney scores the #1 hit song of the decade, 2 decades in a row. That b**** might’ve been “the voice” in her prime, but now it’s “what voice?” if she hadn’t done so much crack she still might be good today. Mariah may not be able to sing like she used to 20 years ago but at least she can still sing better than Crackney. You’re in here talking about what Mariah does in her personal life, wtf does that have to do with her music? lol. You Crackney stans are really grasping for straws when it comes to arguing. You keep thinking it’s 1992 and the Bodyguard soundtrack just came out, cause let’s be honest that’s the last time anyone gave two shits about S****** “c*********” Houston. Even though Memoirs flopped, Mariah’s sales since 1995 have outsold Whitney’s. Again, please STAY MAD.

  149. gina September 20, 2010

    Why the s***, h**, whoriah fans going back and forth then LOL? Takes 2 u know and last time I checked, it was alcholic Mariah coming on stage every night of her tour drinking champagne, where the hell they do dat at!

    Whitney has said that God has saved her and it didn’t matter what she did or where she was because God punted for her and saved her so I’m sure she’s not dwelling on her past.

    Hmmm. I wonder what next producer is going to come out and said he fu*ked MAriah!

    You want to talk respect, she dated Tommy while he was still married and had kids!

  150. ERIC September 20, 2010

    That women in the picture can’t be Mariah!

  151. Theman September 20, 2010

    Mariahs voice is amazing, as is Whitney’s. Mariahs voice is starting to go full throttle again. Mariah is a lady, people come out with anything for money. You have got to be idiots not to know that. Why are their always these stupid comparisons. Each of these women have done a great deal to this fickled a** industry. Both are hands down two of the greatest vocalists altogether.

    I applaud Whitney for still singing live no matter what. She has had many moments when she has sounded good on her tour as well. No need to knock one to try to make the other look good. Whitney has called Mariah a helluva vocalists. Mariahs new albums is gonna be awesome, and i think it’s gonna be huge.

  152. Theman September 20, 2010

    By the way Susan Boyl’s album has sold about 4.5 million units, but her albums do so well also because she caters to a completely different audience. The kind of music she does in a way does’nt require videos.

  153. Bobby from Bulgaria September 20, 2010

    @Gina & Tanner:

    Nobody cares about your stories of Whitney or Mariah…

    You can write a book about that if you want… but it’ll FLOP… cuz you’re not good at it… So just STFU and just go on with being losers like you are… 🙂

  154. Kevin September 21, 2010

    @GINA

    GTFO
    Mariah KILLED that concert. every song.

    “My All” sounded like it was from the Butterfly era. Whitney has yet to come close to replicating her voice from her prime.

  155. gina September 21, 2010

    The loser are you mariah fans who can’t respect other artists and like to throw shade so take it lke a man and recieve the shade back. give respect andit will be returned.

    Again, no lamb is gonna hate on Ms. Houston and expect to go unscathed. For you will be dragged and get your wig snatched.

    Whitney has recovered and moved on from her past drug use. Bring that s*** up again, call her out her name by calling her S****** and mariah will be called Whoriah and you fans will be reminded how she went crazy, tried to kill herself, spread her legs to many men in the industry and how she’s a freaking alcoholic.

    Ya feel me on that

    Respect Nippy and respect will be given back. Disrespect her and you will get dissed back. AGain, Whitney fans ain’t like Kelly’s or Christina’s who don’t have the ammunition to go toe to toe with crazy, delusional lambs cuz we do and we will use it.

  156. JAMAL September 21, 2010

    STFU GINA YOU OBSESSED WHITNEY STAN. GET YO HEAD OUT OF HER P****. THESE WOMEN ARE 40 YEARS OLD. FOR YOU TO BE ARGUING OVER SOMEONE THAT OLD AND WHO YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW PERSONALLY SPEAKS VOLUMES ABOUT YOUR SOCIAL LIFE. WHITNEY DON’T GIVE A DAMN WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT HER, SO STOP TRYING TO F***** SPEAK FOR HER. DUMB S***!!! GET A F***** LIFE. THIS POST AIN’T GOT NOTHIN TO DO WITH WHITNEY….IF I’M NOT MISTAKEN IT SAYS MARIAH CAREY.

  157. LEO September 21, 2010

    so why the hell the mariah fans don’t quit talking s*** about her. Same goes for Whoriah, she ain’t checking for you guys either but u lambs crack me up, you all like to throw shade on other artists now that someone is serving it back yall, you all want to bark!

    No you shut the fu*k up! The post says mariah and one of her fans brought up Whitney’s past drug use and that is not going to be ignored.

    Aint’ nothing wrong with what gina is posting, she preaching the truth and you all don’t like it, lmao! too funny!

  158. STFU September 21, 2010

    You’ve got way too much time on your hands if you’re arguing on here forever about people you don’t even know. Why are you getting so sensitive about someone not liking Whitney? Be the bigger person and get over it and move on rather than arguing pointlessly for hours. Whitney doesn’t give a crap about you “defending her” same goes for Mariah fans. Just stop comparing the two and enjoy the music.

  159. Bee September 21, 2010

    ughh, I’m so tired of this b*******. Why do people need to bring others down with their negativity and insecurities, then start calling Whitney, “S******” and Mariah, “Whoriah” or whatever. That is completely immature and shallow. Stop pitting these women against each other. It is possible to like both artists, and if you prefer one, at least have respect for the other. You cannot deny that both are legends, are huge influences, and have contributed greatly to the music industry. Some of you need to GROW UP.

  160. Kemari September 21, 2010

    Well Well Well…I have been reading every ones postings and I have Come to this…

    MAriah Carey isnt better than whitney and vice versa!! Why is it That MC fana must put my Whitney Down to boost MC?? Whitney’s voice is Beatiful and Mariah’s Word play is the s***!!! Both of Them are my b******!! Whitney Just a lil more..lol

  161. Cristian September 21, 2010

    Mariah its amazing!!! and i agree that the cover could of been classy and simple, but hey its Christmas why not?
    I just hope to hear some beatiful high notes so she could shut up the critics and the people dissing her! I know Mariah will not dissapoint! and she will show you all that she hasnt lost her gift! She deserve to do what she likes and she has nothing to prove anymore. Its not about the money cause she’s swimming on money its about us and the music! I love her hard work and I know God will do justice to her work! God bless her!

  162. Studio September 21, 2010

    STFU:
    As if the mariah fans arent’ doing the same thing, GTHOH!
    Like it was said, Mariah fans can’t go around dissing other artists and calling them names and not expect the same to be one to her as she isn’t perfect. Trent, the biggest lamb is famous for that so don’t cry wolf when the pack turns on ya!

    Things would go a lot smoother around here and respectful if lambs/trent would stop dissing other artists uncessarily. Having said that, lov, lov, love, love me some Whitney! She will forever be LEGEND!
    I like Mariah but her fans ruin it and turn me off

  163. Bobby from Bulgaria September 21, 2010

    @Studio:

    Like the way you ruined it for Whitney…

    So if you can’t respect Mariah THE GREATEST, then you can’t have respect for anybody else downline I guess…

  164. Champagne Slurpee September 21, 2010

    You Whitney fans coming onto this Mariah thread and calling Mariah a s***, an alcoholic and a fatty will not take away all of Mariah’s accomplishments and it certainly won’t take away her influence on music. I will admit that the Mariah fans on here bringing up Whitney’s crack addiction as a reason to override her accomplishment is just as meaningless. However, most of the things being said about Mariah are based on inconclusive evidence. You can’t say Mariah is a s*** just because Eminem raps about dry humping her and being a one minute man. For those of you who are not up to date on your education dry humping involves being fully clothed! Like Mariah’s always said she can still count the number of men she’s been with on one hand. And the whole alcoholic comments are based on one very public acceptance speech where she was a bit over tipsy at most . Both Mariah and Whitney are Legends. Mariah just doesn’t get the respect she deserves. Not sure if it was leaving Tommy Mottola or going too commercial but awards show get a rise out of usings Mariah star status to getting rating but then deny her an award.

  165. Mike September 21, 2010

    @ LEO

    Dude you are ignorant. Have you seen those youtube clips from Whitneys latest concerts? Homegirl couldn’t even pull off ONE NOTE! If that’s not washed up, I don’t know what is. Out of Whitney and Mariah, Mariah has always been one step ahead of Whitney. And you know why that is? Mariah has PASSION for the music industry. Everytime people count her out, she ALWAYS comes right back! That’s what you call a legend, a SURVIVOR. Keep trashing Mariah though. You continue to bring up the flop of MOAIA. Yet, her single from THAT album went Platinum. You don’t call something a flop when you have platinum status surrounding it, regardless of single or album. The only reason Whitney sold 300k was because this was supposed to be Whitney’s comeback! You compare Whitney’s comeback with I look to you and Mariah’s comeback with The Emancipation Of Mimi. Who came out on top? MARIAH! This just proves my point that Mariah has and will always be one step ahead of Whitney. Mariah was born to do music, it’s in her blood! She’s hungry for success and you feel that. This is why I love her and why she is the best!

  166. THE-TRUTH September 21, 2010

    Whitney fans are all full black (no shade) and hate on Mariah because she is light skin. #THATISALL.

  167. Bee September 21, 2010

    “Whitney fans are all full black”… WTF

    @STUDIO

    Don’t generalize and say that all of Mariah’s fans “diss other artists unnecessarily”, because MANY don’t. There are always those fans, whether it’s a Beyonce fan or whatever that make the rest look bad and they are the ones who unfortunately stand out the most. They’re also always the ones starting drama and problems on blogs and comment sections.

  168. Ch.. September 22, 2010

    Manriah continues to make a fool of himself. How sad.

  169. Ch.. September 22, 2010

    DEAD @ Crackney still having fans.

  170. Ch.. September 22, 2010

    DEADER @ this Maxriah fool trying to make excuses as to why Manriah photoshop his whole body. Manriah is insecure PERIOD. No need to bring up other artists who actually have looks and rarely need any photoshop.

    FYI – They only photoshop Janet’s hands NOT her next, r*****.

  171. Ch.. September 22, 2010

  173. Robert Brown September 28, 2010

    I’m so glad Mariah is getting all of this publicity. I hope this album out sells the Emancipation of MIMI. I hope that despite this dismal ecomony, this album really becomes a fixture in pop culture and is talked about by as many as possible. I’m really looking forward to it.

  174. Robert September 29, 2010

    I share your love of Christmas music. Round about the end of November I bring out all the CD’s and old cassette tapes. Going caroling each year with a group of friends is also a delight. Christmas without music would not be Christmas!

    And if you’ll excuse a brief “commercial:” If you don’t have a good book on the subject of our Christmas carols, I encourage you to take a look at mine, Discovering the Songs of Christmas. In it, I discuss the history and meaning of 63 carols and Christmas hymns. The book is available through Amazon, or directly from Jebaire Publishing. (Might make a great gift too!)

  175. lil~j November 15, 2010

    Okay all of this is purely 100% B.S. @ (MARIAH ICON OF FLOP) it’s very clear that you dislike Mariah Carey for some unknown reason. But I will tell you all of her albums didn’t flop THE REMIXES was a good album, E=MC2 was a follow up to (E.O.M.), THE BALLADS ~was a release of her already #1. hits……..her New merry christmas album has already reach #1 on the hip hop and r&b charts so talk all the B.S. you want Mariah will always and forever be hot because there itsn’t nann female out there that can touch her and not only is she the #1 top selling females artist of all time but she has had a # 1of hits cd’s and singles. and she has done it again with the remake of this holiday album you go MIMI and you got a baby in the oven lol damn she’s good isn’t she? also she is working on another studio album as well and plz don’t speak on beyonce behalf because she only sold 250 million world wide because of D.C. albums and remixes and it was noted and but mariah stood alone and did the damn thing and is also name the queen of the remixes

  176. lil~j November 15, 2010

    For the ones above who really think WHITNEY Houston is better then Mariah Carey think again less not forget 94 divas live when MIMI & whitney both did a song together and Mariah took the show and Whitney said Ms. Mariah Carey ya’ll!!! Whitney back in the 90’s and 80’s was the bomb i grew up on Whitney and Mariah but lets be real Ms. Houston voice is gone to the point of return she only reach #1 with her last album because it was said that she could sing again like she once did however it wasn’t true the album was very heavy digital tune. But i did like the album and some of her song she sung live twice with her new come back album and she sounded good and strong but that as that she went down hill faster then jack, Mariah has had some bad days on stage but i saw all of her live shows and she can s till sing live she kill my all and all of her old hits as well as her new ones and that’s just with voice alone not her screaming high notes but as we all know it wouldn’t be mariah if she didn’t hit those notes and she did them and they was in perfect tune!! her holiday album sold and is #1 yet again
