Mariah Carey is making major moves…once again.
Ever since cleaning house and redecorating her empire with a new team, the diva’s career has been on somewhat of an upswing.
For, fresh from completing her first batch of Las Vegas dates, the songbird has reportedly landed a lucrative new gig — one that may surprise folk.
Details below…
TMZ reports that the 45-year-old has signed on to become the new face and…err…body for popular mobile franchise ‘Game of War’:
Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ … producers of the mobile game have inked a 7-figure deal with Mariah, who replaces Kate Upton, in which the singer will shoot a 30-second commercial. We’re told the shoot will last 2 days and the guy in charge is the director for “Terminator Genisys.”
Mariah will do several other promotional shoots for the game, but the main thing is the commercial.
‘Game of War’ is a phenomenon, raking in $1 million a day.
Mariah is a bigger star than Kate Upton for sure, but it’s something of a left turn. We’re told one of the big selling points is that Mariah’s music will be part of the spot.
Incredibly random, but hey…get money!
At the end of the day, it’s great to see Team MC embracing the fact that we now live in a 360 industry.
Music is increasingly only being released as a vehicle for other endeavours – a point Mimi seems to have latched on to with the Vegas residency and now this.
To give an idea of what folk can expect, peep her the commercial her predecessor Kate Upton featured in…

Keep flourishing mimi
Pointless, Mariah is over and done.
More good news!
And finally Sam reported good news about Mariah Carey (the last one from the breed of true greats) without the repetitive shade.
Mmm nonetheless I think he was still trying to shade her. Especially with say that “Get Money” s***. This post has no good intentions to me.
Gurl we obviously ain’t reading the same post because this is full of shade! the 45-year-old has signed on to become the new face and…err…body for popular mobile franchise ‘Game of War’ ????
GATHER THEM!
Well yeah I suppose I´m so used to reading Sam´s pathetic essays about Mariah that I didn´t notice anything today. It was only a little shade.
Just another way for Mariah to expand her empire. Kudos MC
As rosie said, she should just retire with grace and stop diluting her legacy with flop antics
Rosie stans for Lana. Her existence is an insult to vocalists everywhere. Don’t listen to that silly woman.
Where’s Kara and SHINee in your name though?
Slayriah… Haters gonna hate
Wait!Sam wrote this article? well congratz Mariah,,
LOL sure whatever.
Ew last thing I want to see on my tablet is Mariah’s chipmunk face glaring back @ me. Deletes Game of War app.
She should just retire with Grace, Madonna is more successful than her, Whitney sang better than her, Janet Jackson made better Videos. She was a great writer that’s all.
If you have to pit that many extremely important, beautiful, and talented artists just to make Mimi bad, who really is the Queen? ♿♿♿
Great writer, great singer & great producer. I can sit here and say Beyonce sings, dances & is more talented that Rihanna. Adele sold more albums than Rihanna. Katy Perry, Taylor Swift are better musicians/songwriters than Rihanna & mostly all of her peers have outwealthed her with less album/single releases… But, that won’t change the fact that Rihanna is one of the best pop stars of her generation. So, STFU.
Yes Rihanna is the best selling Digital Artist Of all time, 13 #1s, more than 150M+ Records only in 10 years time. She is the biggest pop artist of this decade that’s a fact. Yes Bey is more talented than her, Adele sold more albums etc those are facts but I typed on top were facts too boo. Now go back to bed
“Yes Bey is more talented than her…”

Glad, you realize that. Oh, and Mariah is the best selling female act of the 1990s & is the best selling female artist of the SOUNDSCAN era. Scored 18 #1’s (whether you think their memorably or not). Wrote/Co-Wrote her ENTIRE catalog of music except COVER & the Nippy duet. And, Produced/Co-Produced her 90% of her entire catalog. Sold 200-220,000,000+ RECORDS & 160,000,000+ of those RECORDS are ALBUMS. The best selling INTERNATIONAL NON-ASIAN act in Japan… Etc.. I can go on & on & on… Her last single “Infinity” charted (which was a flop) but it still charted… Making it her 25th YEAR on the Billboard charts.
–
Rihanna & Mariah Carey are both mega stars of their generation. I don’t even like coming for Rih tbh… I love her, she’s one of my favs too.
How can you have 18 hits but only 5 are memorable?? My All, Always Be My Baby, We Belong Together, Emotions & Vision Of Love? Like we know how she got those #1s but let me try not to messy. *Sips Herbal Tea*
Actually, many people know “Fantasy & Dreamlover” more-so than they know “My All or Emotions”… And, her biggest hit is not even a #1… Nor is it a top 20 hit. All I Want For Christmas Is You is her biggest & most impact/memorable hit. And, is deemed as a modern classic (which she wrote & produced). Can you honestly, think people can name all THE BEATLES #1s… All ELVIS PRESLEY #1’s …?? No!
Rihanna’s #1s will be forgettable also… People 25 years from now is going to hardly remember all her numbers… Oh, and HERO’s pretty memorable too.
Fantasy & Dreamlover those songs are not memorable yes Hero is classic & AIWFC is remembered on Xmas only. Her Hits are very FISHY.
What do you mean, “fishy”? Girl bye, “Fantasy” was the second best selling single of 1995. And, “One Sweet Day” sold almost 3,000,000+ PHYSICAL singles within 3 months. That’s like selling 7 million singles in TODAY’S market. Sit down. Her hits & airplay audience impressions are about the same. And, her ALBUM sales proves that she was a force. You know, selling 54,000,000+ ALBUM out of RETAIL stores in AMERICA alone. What do you think prompted those massive album sales??? SINGLES!
–
Oh, “All I Want For Christmas Is You” is not only a modern X-Mas classic but deemed a modern classic song, period. And, it’s the ONLY X-Mas song to become a classic since Phil Spector’s genius Christmas album. Dreamlover is a memorable hit. It helped Music Box sell 30,000,000+ copies globally. Along with the MASSIVE global (although not #1 in america) #1 hit “Without You”… Sit down honey.
As opposed to 0/13 memorable hits? Keep trying it girl.
She better get her coins tho, congratulations.
How’s Infinity doing on the charts this week? #1 yet? lol
I can just imagine Mariah saying “Will You Be My Hero”.
And then the song Hero starts to play in the background congrats Mariah Get Money B****!.
Sigh.
Make your money Mimi.
Slay Mimi. I’m loving those #1’s videos on your channel. I hope you share more intimate videos like that about your demo tapes. I got’s to hear it. BYE
This is not even about Rihanna. Rih doesn’t even call herself the best, she never said she’s the best singer ever. Lambs are fuckinn dumb biitches that still think Mariah was the greatest in the 90s when Janet Jackson happened, Bodyguard Whitney Houston, The debut of R&B girls “Brandy, Monica etc” , TLC, Celine Dion. MC is mediocre AF, her music is all the same never had versatility.
Mariah outsold everyone in the 90s. She had #1s every year of that decade. Her vocal ability made everyone, especially Minnie Mouse Jackson, look like some random club singer. Whitney had a powerful voice, but her technique was never on Mariah’s level.
No she didn’t, you dunce. The biggest selling artist of the 90s was Garth Brooks. He kicked her ass in sales.
When has Mariah gon’ around talking about she’s the best? And, don’t ALL stans overrated their fav’s? You’re an idiot. How you gon’ say her music is all the same but mention Celine Dion?? HAhaha
–
You come for Mimi and I’ma come for R****, period.
Using Beyoncé as your shield isn’t going help mariah’s mediocre music. Her music is so bland & boring, she was always behind Celine & Nippy. I Will Always Love You, My Heart Will Go On the 2 biggest ballads EVER, where’s Mariah’s?
No ones hiding behind Beyonce… Oh, and Mariah’s biggest hit is ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS YOU. Unfortunately, she never scored a massive selling MOVE promoted ballad like “I Will Always Love You or My Heart Will Go On” but she is (and her fans) are grateful for the 14,000,000+ selling singles “Christmas Is You” for being the 3rd best selling single by a female artist. Right behind Miss Dion & the fabulous Houston.
*MOVIE
Why is this lame ass hòe in here worrying about Mariah? You say that Madonna is more successful, Whitney sang better, and MJ’s little sister had better videos but the fact that you had to compare her to three of the most successful and legendary female musicians proves that you do think highly of Mariah. Stop contradicting yourself and keep it moving.
Mariah goes around and shades everyone & acts as if she’s the best singer ever when she had many flaws. Firstly she peaked in the 90s Vocally, she lips almost every high note that she used to hit. She’s not consistent, she’s not mature, she’s still thinks she’s regina george in high school that’s why she’s behaving like this.
She’s more consistent that Rihanna’s crackhead.
Get money b****! *Khia voice* I always see that annoying ass game as a pop up in the App Store but maybe now I’ll actually go and play it. Glad to see things are looking up for Mariah!
Meanwhile, Artist of the decade: 90s. #QueenMimi that speech >>
http://youtu.be/YQS5SHHl8u0
I don’t think highly of her let’s make that clear, she’s basic as they come. Those 18 #1s are Fishy AF & real Lambs know the tea. I do give credit don’t get me wrong, she is a great writer, I gave Beyoncé & called her a phenomenal performer which is true, I also think Beyoncé is basic af musically.
You stan for Rihanna is doesn’t get any more basic musically than that singing OFF key thot. LMAO!
Lol you think Mariah is basic and bland….clearly you haven’t heard “four five seconds”and that was her attempt at being “artistic”
Janet Jackson is not just MJs Little Sister, she paved the way for Mariah. Let’s keep it cute boo.
Thank you @Rhianna Lately get Slayriah Carey Tour de france together hell even Mariah Carey was inspired by Miss Janet Jackson Herself like many others and don’t forget the top divas of the 90’s were Janet Jackson, Whitney Houston,Celine Dion, Mary J. Blige, TLC,Madonna, Shania Twain, and Mariah Carey do I need to say more.
Janet Jackson isn’t a vocalist. She can barely speak with an audible tone. She could never sing even the easiest of Mariah songs. You’re delusional AF.
Did anyone say anything about vocal dummy when I said divas I mean women who ran the f****** 90’s geez and can Janet help it if she’s not some loud mouth b**** such as yourself. Now who’s the one with the delusions try again.
“Mariah goes around and shades everyone & acts as if she’s the best singer ever when she had many flaws.”

No, actually she doesn’t. Maybe you don’t get her sense of humour… But, Mariah actually a nice person. And, she’s NEVER claimed to be the best singer ever. She’s always given & BOWED down to ARETHA (and many other LEGENDS that have come BEFORE her). Oh, and she’s ALWAYS downplayed her voice & accomplishments. When asked about her “6 octave” vocal range in many interviews… She always downplayed it & even would just say “I don’t know how many octaves I have, I just sing & that’s what comes out”. I don’t recall her EVER saying she’s the best singer of all time. Now, the LAMBILY will say that cause that’s their girl. Every fanbase overrated their favs. It’s just how that goes. And, yes she did vocally peak in the 1990s due to vocal nodules. But, still had success afterwards. Selling another 40 million albums starting from 1997 – 2010.
“6 Octaves”. Since when? She’s a 5 Octave Vocalist.
Honey, it was an exaggeration! This is the interview where Donnie Simpson asked her about that “7 Octave vocal range” … Which she laughed off & DOWN-Played.

Don’t even fight with him. When updated, Mariah sold 30 million albums alone 2001-2009. His fav has only sold 30 million albums in her entire career. I find it hilarious when he comes for her #1 hits when he stans for someone who has Clear Channel on speed dial. Ignore him. It’s hilarious to see someone know so much about someone they hate.
90s vs 10s/00s album sales are very different.
Yes they are, but clearly you can’t read, because I said 01-09. Rihanna has been out 05- now, so no excuse.
LOL this troll is having a TRL moment. If you really belive that, then why are you even here? How can you criticize “Mariah’s behavior” and then praise the others, including your own fav for displaying the exact damn behavior?
Why do you even bother to address me? I’m not cyber pregnant? Lol & I don’t create fake unnecessary cyber drama just to gain attention from strangers.
“Janet Jackson is not just MJs Little Sister, she paved the way for Mariah. Let’s keep it cute boo.”

I fail to realise what Miss Jackson (whom I adore with so much passion) paved the way for regarding Miss Carey. I mean, Mimi is not the best visuals artist… She’s not a performer, she’s not a dancer, she’s not a Pop/Dance type artist… Hmmm I’m not understanding. But, you’re kinda delusional so I guess… I love my Janet tho.
–
Aretha, Whitney, Minnie Ripperton & Stevie Wonder are and will ALWAYS be Mariah’s main inspirations.
Girl Mariah said it herself, I’m not going to argue with a delusional person like you.
I’m sure she did sweety… But, Mariah always respects her legends (besides Granny in 1995).. NEVER does she bad mouth LEGENDS. But, do you really SEE an actual influence Janet has on Mariah??? I think not. She’s not from the branch of artistry. Move Janet Tho. I even have her as my avi. Such a baby face
*Love Janet tho*
Actually Janet did inspire Mariah when Janet continued to infuse Hip-Hop with R&B/Pop music she decided to do the same just like Mary J Blige did before Mariah. Whitney Houston as well added Monie Love to The Song My name is not Susan so Mariah has a right to be inspired by Janet just like many other artists you do realize Janet change the game music wise in the mid 80’s all the way into the 90’s right?
And Stephy you can’t forget she was also inspired by the original white girl of soul the late great Ms Teena Marie herself.
I don’t see it… But, I guess so. Oh, and I agree Tina Marie was great. But, I was talking about the DIRECT influences of Mariah’s. People that I see have a huge impact on her artistry. It’s Whitney, Minnie, Aretha & Stevie Wonder. But, I don’t see how Mariah was inspired DIRECTLY from Janet to her own artistry. And, Mariah was more-so credited for contributing Hip-Pop together.
Paving the way for those white looking girls to hook up with rappers & create massive hits with Pop/Rap music. Mary J paved the way for R&B/Hip Hop. HANDS DOWN! It’s just too evident.
And Janet was credited as well as infusing Hip-Hop/R&B/Pop together as well where do you think Mary J. Blige got her inspiration from Janet after Janet hooked up with Heavy D For the remix of Alright. Mariah was also inspired by Teena Marie Mariah herself said Teena was one of her influences especially seeing that she was a white women with so much soul gave her hope that if Teena could go out and sing, write, and produce great songs then I should be able to do it too. So don’t sit there and downgrade miss Teena Marie’s impact because without her inspiration and influence on Mariah to have the confidence to breakdown those barriers such as Teena Marie did for herself Mariah wouldn’t have the confidence to say Teena didn’t listen to the naysayers she listen to her own intuition, so I should listen to mine and fight like Teena did to enter the music business. Oh and Janet may not have influence Mariah vocally (you seem to be the only one talking about vocals hell I’m not) but Janet did indeed inspire Mariah weather it was her groundbreaking impact in the world over or like I keep saying before the R&B/Pop crossover infusion of Hip-Hop so therefore you’ve tried it, stop denying Teena and Janet being one and I mean One of Mariah’s many influences oh and one of Mariah’s favorite songs Wrote produced and sung by Janet is Control, so the verdict has been read, the jury went home, and the judge just handed you your plea so how do you plea Defeated or Still argumentive……. in that case I proved my point rest my case now good day to you sir or madam.
Girl, I’m NOT reading all that. Janet is great & so is Tina. But, saying they’re huge inspirations on Mariah’s career & artistry is a REACH.
It’s not a reach it’s the truth like I said they’re one and I mean one and if you bother to read what I was saying you would know something.
And Teena Marie’s name is spelled TEENA not TINA if you’re gonna disrepect a legend at least get her damn name spelled right I can already tell you were born either in the years 1999, 2000, or 2001 because you don’t know s*** about the Legends or the Legends before them who’ve made there inspirational impact.
Saying that Madonna is more successful, yeah she is. But Who is the better singer by far? Saying that Celine and Whitney were better vocalista but did either of them ever pick up a pen and paper or produce any of their material? Screaming at you trying to shame Mariah for lipping and using Celine to defend your ideas in the same comment. This is the same Celine who has been lipping that last belt in the Power of Love since the beginning of time. Your logic is flawed. You can’t make a fair comparison by emphasizing one’s weakness and only highlighting the other’s strengths. They all have strong and weak areas.
Vocalists* weaknesses*
The thing is all 4 Mariah, Celine, Whitney and Madonna slay the rest 🙂
Fans of lessors try using one of them to bring down the other, but the truth is their faves are the ones who are average (or worse) compared to them.
Why do you even bother to address me? I’m not cyber pregnant? Lol & I don’t create fake unnecessary cyber drama just to gain attention from strangers.
_______
You can shade my pregnancy all day to deflect fruit loop, but look where you are. You purposely came to a Mariah Carey post with ignorant comparisons knowing that myself, Slayriah, and the King Stephy would all be here to defend her. You are trolling for attention of strangers.
Love You Sis.
Gather a bit, sis. I am excited to be going to see auntie Mariah in July.
I appreciate Mariah is getting her coins and keeping her name out there which doesn’t hurt. However, purely from a at ragic standpoint I’d rather see her aligning her brand with companies that can support her where she needs it the most. Off the top of my head:
JennyCraig: Healthy Eating coffee table book
Fitness: DVD collection similar to Cindy Crawford’s Bext Challenge feat. Mariah’s own music I.e. David Morales Dance Mixes and Urban Mixes.
VoiceCare: CD series endorsed by her
Style: Fashion House Sponsorship similar to what D&G did for Whitney during the MLIYL Campaign
#DemBabies: Bi-racial Children’s Stories
ExistingMusicCatelogue: Acoustic or Philharmonis Re-working of her songs w/ current voice to keep catalogue sounding fresh.
TheMariahShow: A comedic ‘Evening with Mariah’ performance style show w/ Anecdotes, Live Music and guest stars. Similar to Arsenio Hall meets Cilla lol
Any one or all of these ideas are what she needs now, her name is cemented in the public consciousness now. She came up as TheGirlNextDoor so how about rebranding her as TheLoveableLegendNextDoor and/or TheWorldsFavouriteDownToEarthDiva?
There’s mileage in MariahCarey™, I think learning how to comfortably sing with the new voice and toning down the Diva antics is the key to calming down the chaotic vibe around her. Hopefully LA can continue to do that, my concern is just that they continue to grow her career and not just rest on the legacy she’s created expected it to sell itself.
NO SHADE, because I like Rihanna, but her fans have been acting unruley as of late. That R-Late and her current flops has got the bottoms and h*** in an uproar. You bit-hes are pressed as hell.
This post is a mess, anyway, Mariah is one of the most successful artists of all time, whenever a list of “greatest/best female in music” is made, Mariah rank in the top five just like the others (true greats) Celine, Whitney and Madonna. Janet always beneath people like Britney, Beyoncé or Rihanna, as much as she has influenced this generation, she was never on the same level of those mentioned above, including Mariah, don’t kid yourself.
I’ve been on this site for two and a half weeks, and I have to say, you have got to be thee dumbest person on here. I see you’re a Madonna fan as well, so that only half explains why you’re a dumb s***. By the way,
Janet>>> Madonna
Enjoy your day, f.a.g
Hmm it doesn´t matter if you think Janet is better than Madonna. What @s****** said is that Janet is/was not as big as Madonna and the other 3, which is an obvious truth.
Madonna’s record sales >>> Janet’s record sales.
Madonna’s tour sales >>> Janet’s tour sales
Madonna’s RRHOF membership >>> Janet’s expired Sears card.
Janet is only famous because her name is “Jackson,” was able to leech from MJ’s fame and got literally ALL her hits from the actual talent of producers Jam & Lewis. Her career is dead. It died with the Superbowl, while JT’s continues to flourish! Hahaha. She hasn’t had a hit song since before 9/11. She’s touring small theaters gyms because she can’t sell large venues and now she’s TRYING to releasing music independently like ALL hasbeens do when they can’t get a deal with a real record label. Just goes to show what happens when you only ever had success because of who you’re related to! That’s a house built on sand. F.A.G.
What a joke. This chick needs to ink a “lucrative deal” with a nursing home for her to retire to when this embarrassing Vegas run inevitably crashes and burns. Mariah Carey is old and washed up. Flop single after flop album over the past 5+ years and the lames still in here acting like she’s relevant because of 20 years ago. Presidents and hairstyles have changed since the.Has #1’s to Infinity even sold 20k yet? Only fans of hasbeens cling to old victories when they can’t claim any CURRENT success.
Only fans of flops who have never seen true success call legends hasbeens.

Mimi Slays
Judging by the videos of her in Paris recently, her body is almost ready for prime time, so this deal should be a fun paycheck for her.
I’m curious as to see how they will use Mariah to promote this game. I love me some Mariah, I do, however when I think of war and fire I do not think Mariah. But we will see.
Now Christina Aguilera on the other hand probably would have been a better choice as seeing how her looks are always changing and is versatile in her music. I could see Xtina doing this. The ultimate best choice for me would have been Florence and the Machine and if you know their work you’ll know why.
I totally agree.
I definitely can see your point, but trick yourself into thinking that Mimi couldn’t pull this off. However, I would be beyond ignorant not to agree that this would be epic for Xtina. Rihanna & Britney could pull this off as well.
@TheElusiveLamnb:
It’s not that I don’t think Mariah can do it, it’s just hard to see her with such a caliber. By caliber I take reference to all Mariah’s music videos. Not one of them go beyond the stereo typical teenage girls imagination and are all pretty elementary. Where as Xtina, Rihanna, Britney, Florence, and even Beyoncé have given some kind of conceptual art in their catalogue. So with that, that’s why I’m scratching my head trying figure out how Mariah will fit the bill. Again I love Mariah just being real.
Make that money Mimi.I don’t know why this is keeping some pressed to warrant all these comments
Kim Kardashian’s impact.
.
Why would they pick an over wight refrigerator over Kate Tig Ol Bitties? Gamers don’t give a crap about a cow.
You’re a peasant to Mariah. Keep seething.
But why? She’s worth 500M$ . It’s like when she did idol . Wendy was right when she said that Mariah was like a vintage Rolls Royce and was only to be seen on special occasions . Just do Vegas & music and enjoy your millions and children , go in Italy & France and enjoy all that splashhh you love so much darlinnggg . This is how you tarnish legacies . Replacing Kate Upton seriously? It’s like Beyoncé being the face of Madonna’s Material Girl after Taylor Momsen , Kelly Osbourne and Rita Ora just because the check is good . Nope nope nope all money is not good money! Meanwhile Ciara is the face of Cavalli , Rihanna of Dior , Beyoncé of Givenchy …
Alright Ms.Carey, SLAY
Epic Records doing something right!
