Her early experiences with Mottola established a weirdly adversarial relationship between Mariah and staging she has back up dancers literally drag her around the stage and she fails to muster any enthusiasm for even extremely basic choreography. If Mottola wants to take credit for her success he must also take credit…

Tommy’s control of her at the start of her career also prevented her from learning the kind of stagecraft that would have helped her have the confidence to play off technical difficulties like NYE with more grace. Being locked in that house recording albums meant she didn’t develop as much as a performer as other…

I love this song so much. I had to show my boyfriend Moses Supposes from Singing in the Rain straight after the episode because he didn’t know the reference.

I’d love to hear the original Loverboy with the Firecracker sample, the song is a mess and definitely not one of Mariah’s best but a lot of that is due to having to change the song while keeping it matchable to the movie scenes they had already shot. That whole situation was incredibly shady, I would choose not to…

If this were to escalate to Dwayne Johnson being Aretha to Vin Diesel’s Patti LaBelle I would be majorly entertained.

Eat You Up was amazing, it’s a travesty that it wasn’t a huge international hit.

I was expecting a stronger song for her official debut, it’s a bit meh. Nice to see a Method Man cameo in the video but overall it’s just fine. Maybe the next single will be the all out pop assault.

I was shocked when I discovered in my teens that cunt had a meaning other than guy whose behaviour I disapprove of.

I don’t envy the people who have to redraft all the legislation that mentions the EU and renegotiate every agreement that fell under EU membership individually.

Not sure that putting recently deceased national treasure Cilla Black as a villain will play well with British audiences.

Janet’s story is better than Sarah Palin’s because the alleged baby having daughter is a secret. The daughter is a long standing rumour.

I’m partial to the buffoon style Hugh of my childhood as seen in Blackadder and Walking On Broken Glass.

For some reason I’m totally ok with Stephen Fry being old but Hugh Laurie aging is shocking to me.

I don’t doubt that many of her issues are down to the way she was treated and living in the public eye but we can’t know if it exacerbated an existing mental health problem or caused one for Britney. It’s definitely not in the best interests of a child to be put in that position.

There’s a rumour that her secret daughter is pregnant so Janet is going to raise her grandchild as her own.

Yeah I think it’s really important to remember that we the public have never been told what her diagnosis actually is, if it were minor I think they’d be upfront with it, so whatever is wrong with Britney must be severe. I’m not sure it merits this level of control but personally I think if it has to tip one way too…

I kind of want to watch this but I also don’t want to shatter my illusion that Fifth Harmony’s job is just turning up at red carpet events in ill matched unflattering outfits.

I have food allergies too and there doesn’t seem to be much understanding around anxiety relating to allergies. I started having panic attacks and ptsd type symptoms after a reaction last year and found time passing to be far more useful than the therapy I received. Your aversion to meds makes perfect sense to me,…

I’m from Munster so I pronounce it with the longer first syllable but Leinster and Ulster Irish would pronounce it shorter, correct pronunciation varies by region.

I’m hoping the fact that the hair tie I have around my wrist is silicone rather than elastic might make it less risky.
