He definitely respects Mariah wholeheartedly, excellent interview! He hit the nail right on the head; she may be a "diva" and she may have vocal issues, but she will always have industry respect.

Did Jermaine just take a backhanded diss at Janet. Sit down JD but everything else agree with.

I don't think he was being shady at all, he just doesn't seem to be a fan of Janet. Why should he pretend he is? He was honest in saying it's "cool" and Janet fans probably like it. I feel the same way, it's not bad, but it's not my cup of tea. I think he was essentially saying the same thing... It's not an insult to respectfully dislike something. And he was asked about it, he wasn't going out of his way to bring Janet into the discussion. He was simply asked about his opinion on her music, and he was honest with his answer. I respect that.

That would all be fine and dandy and I would agree with you if it wasn't sour grapes because that is his ex girlfriend.

Still, I don't really take issue with what he said. But ehhh, I've never been a Janet fan at all.

Still, I don't really take issue with what he said. But ehhh, I've never been a Janet fan at all. They dated for several years and she left him because he cheated (supposedly with a stripper). He loved her and was very much a fan of her's at one point in time. But, when you make a big mistake like cheating on Janet f**king Jackson, it can leave one bitter. I wonder if he got his tattoo covered up?

So now it just seems like a bitter ex!

MC is in the studio, she tweeted this: Probably recording Christmas music for the movie, which is now titled Christmas Melody. From my understanding of the plot and what I read there will be several songs of MC featured on the movie. She plays a teacher who helps out a little girl write a Christmas song. Apparently she's in Ohio right now (they've begun filming). ETA - here: www.hallmarkchannel.com/christmas/countdown-to-christmas-sneak-preview/15

If It's Over is far and away my favorite song on Emotions. There is no competition.
Oh man, The Impossible just came on and is making me grind into my seat like I am auditioning for Magic Mike 3...except I am at work. #awkward.

For me the title track is my favorite song on Emotions followed by "The Wind". Emotions is such an intoxicating song and one of her catchiest to date. The Wind is just such a beautiful song in general; it was nice of her to do something jazzy at the time.

I think y'all underestimate the business and musical intelligence of the woman. She knows what makes a musical Christmas movie and the fact its a cheesy Hallmark/Christmas production she should hit it out the park for what it is.

Exactly - who better qualified to deliver Christmas cheese than Mariah. It'll be everything a Hallmark Christmas movie needs to be (and should be)
