She has not always been looking tired. She looked tired in a few of the other pics. If she looks great she looks great bottom line.

Regardless of whatever she has had/or not had done, she looks fresh and well-rested. She looks lovely.

It kind of does look like she got work done. Her face is VERY tight, and she does not look tired at all. She'd been looking tired a lot in recent years and wit dem babiez and she looking 20 years old and fresh she's got me questioning. I ain't mad atcha Mims! I was thinking that myself. She might have gotten a few shots of Botox or something because her face looks very fresh and youthful. But work or no work, she is looking damn good. I'm so happy she's getting herself trim and not letting herself go. I'd also like straight brown hair a la the Daydream days. Just to switch it up and I've always loved how she looked with the darker shade.

I don't think so. She is just taking really great care of herself.

She probably has done some work and it wouldn't be the first time.

Then again, she could possibly just be working her ass off. I mean, it's not like she's currently recording - and, at this age, babies sleep most of the day, and suck on titties. Also, moms have to be on a specialized type of diet if she's actually breast feeding - so that actually could be helping some rapid weight loss. Also, carrying a baby, pushing a stroller, holding a diaper bag, laoding and unloading a car is a workout sometimes - which I would believe someone like Mariah would be doing herself instead of having the help do.

Why do people always get so defensive about the suggestion that a middle aged woman has had some work done like it's some kind of sin? WHO CARES?!! If you've got the money knock yourself out!!

Can't wait for this album! I wish she'd go back to Heartbreaker-kind of songs. She recebtly had Ribbon and O.O.C. As the light, pop&b songs but they just don't compare to her late 90s material.

^But wasn't a lot of ppl complaining when she did those 'Heartbreaker' type of songs in the 90s? Maybe she should just experiment and move in another direction.

Urban Mariah > Pop Mariah
It doesn't have to be one or the other. She could take the Beyonce route and stradle the fence.

POP fans miss POP Mariah. You want a nice pop record? Listen to I'm That Chick. Oh wait, but she throws in some Michael Jackson in there and references 2-pac.

Pop fans aren't even buying her records now. Mariah is an R&B artist 100% and has been doing R&B music since 1995 now. Her comeback album was a full-fldged Urban album and her declaration of loyalty to her Urban fanbase. Actually, even her first single was an R&B song.

R&B and urban isn't where the record sales are these days, so we'll see what Mariah does this time around if she wants a hit song and record sales. She could pull another "Touch My Body" which has both R&B and pop elements.
I'm excited for a new Mimi record!

Urban Mariah > Pop Mariah Well, yes But, I just want less slow/midtempo urban ballads which sound dated today, unlike in mid 2000s. More pop and uptempo urban smash, please!!!

Beyonce can sell an R&B dominated album.

Beyonce can sell an R&B dominated album. So can MC (see: Emancipation of MiMi), its all about balancing her image with the right singles. She can be fun and "Mariah" but she doesn't need to be 12. I don't care really, b/c I know everything she'll give me will be of the utmost quality. Any real lamb would love the majority of Memoirs even, simply b/c its Mariah being Mariah with all her little euphemisms and things that only she can do. I just think its all in the presentation in regards to her image and performances. She should tone down the sex appeal b/c she sometimes looks desperate and she needs to loosen up in her performances b/c she's just soooo stiff! Could be the tight dresses and stilettos though. I honestly feel like she'll sell well again when she starts giving those good performances. You know, where she'd SANG with all of the arm waving and ear poking and squats and spins, just remind people why they loved you and the interest and sales will follow.

Beyonce can sell an R&B dominated album. Yes, 14 years ago, Mariah could also sell an R&B dominated album, Butetrfly. But this time, it's really not that easy for Mariah. She's not young anymore and already past her commercial peak.

Idk...I feel like except for Emancipation...the other three albums she's had with Def Jam were mismanaged by singles choices, lack of promo, etc. Especially the ones that came after Emancipation. There are just so many good songs on those two albums that should have been singles, given her more Top 10 hits (possible #1s), and albums sales. A lot of people won't hear get to hear them now.

I don't want Mimi jumping on the Pop train (not that I think she will) - because most of it sucks, and most of her urban fanbase would refuse to buy it.

She's not young anymore and already past her commercial peak. That has nothing to do with anything, if she makes great music and radio responds to it which they more than likely will, she'll do great things. Beyonce is doing good for now because her album was just released. But she'll need single success as well to help keep her album aboard.

Alot of people are are very extra when it comes to Mariah, yet they prance around in other peoples threads sugar coating things. It ain't that serious.

no more repeated formulas, she needs something current, fresh, and unique, that demonstates the original artist she is, not do the current sound that wears off in a couple of months and definately not the current dance trend thats getting so tiring.
Come one Mariah, use your head like you did in the 90's!
