“You don’t know who is here for the glamour, for the gossip factor. You really just want to know that somebody loves you for you. That’s a difficult thing when, you know… Sometimes you just do really feel like an ATM machine with a wig on it.”

- Mariah Carey tells Parade, on fame

Not only is Mariah talented but she has personality. How many of her cempetitors can compete with that? Zilch!
Kathryn says – reply to this

39

No…her boobs are not natural. Check out the 'vision of love' video from the early 90's. She was an A or small B cup at the most. Also…for the person that complained about people saying 'machine' when the M in ATM already stands for machine….It's just like people always saying, 'assless chaps.' Well…all chaps are assless…otherwise they'd be…PANTS. Back to Mariah, I wish she'd grow up her look. She's too old to dress this way. Looks pathetic. Like someone's Mom trying to look sexy. Yuck!

A few years back, my sister and i were in New York so that she could sign a record deal with Virgin Reconds. Our father aranged for her to have dinner with us and this Resturant called Chin Chin's. I found her to be extreamly sweet, and totally down to earth!! She NEVER came across as a "slut", skank" etc. etc. nor did she come across as vain. Maybe people should only comment on others when they actually know then or have had, at very least, a conversation with them!!!

She is an ATM in a wig with fake boobs.

BLECH!!!!!!!!! Just wish she would go away! Don't want her money; don't want anything to do with that skank. Yuck.
rachel says – reply to this

44

Fake titties or real… who really gives a rat's ass?! They look so ridiculous, especially in that freakin' outfit. Who ever told these ladies that it looks attractive to have cleavage that looks like an ass on the front of your chest? Every time I see this particular picture of her I hate her even more…
jeff says – reply to this

45

Re: Kathryn – her boobs are fake, too old to dress hot, m stands for machine, blah, blah, blah, no wonder your husband left you.

Barbie says – reply to this

48

really… does anyone still give a shit about her?!
Rochelle says – reply to this

49

This bitch is so annoying. Everything about her is annoying. Her weird, no-neck body, her extreme diva attitude, and the way she acts and dresses like she where a 19 year old tramp! Ooh, yucky!!!! Can't decide who's more annoying her or J-Ho.

Mariah, nobady likes you, you are an ATM, a spoiled little rich bitch. Without money, you'd have no friends, you're career is over. HAHAHA!!!!!
Eileen says – reply to this

51

Must every since dress of hers come to just above her areolas?!!! For God's sake I'm so over her tits already.
Bermuda says – reply to this

52

Re: nancybrookey – She was not into herself at all. She was more interested about our lives and where we live (bermuda). Everytime we asked her something about herself (nothing personal of course) she would change the conversation back to us. She was extreamly interested in my sisters music career since she was only 16 at the time… she was giving her pointers for when she gets into the studio and what to expect when she makes it big. It was the best night i have ever had!!!!
danae says – reply to this

gotta say mariah's been looking good lately! still wouldn't hurt to wear a little more clothing than that. c'mon biotch.. have some class. the spring chicken days are overrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Bermuda says – reply to this

Re: Rochelle – let me guess you are totally fat so you are jealous that you can't fit into the stuff that she wears?

girl looks good but c'mon put on some actual clothes!!
laura says – reply to this

57

Mariah looks like a porn actress. She used to be so cute and talented! What happened? I hate the silicone! Check out her old videos for a fresh faced, naturally breasted, better dressed Mariah. Now she raps (why when you have pipes!). I guess that is what sells now……….

No matter what this skank is saying, she is always thinking "LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME"
PATHETIC!!!!
pinks says – reply to this

65

That's what Mariah ponders about??? Mariah, little word of advice- maybe you should get more involved in your charity work, or do some MORE charity work. Maybe if you take the focus off yourself more often, you'll realise that being an "ATM with a wig on it" isn't the biggest problem a person could HAVE in this world. I'm sure you're a lovely person. I'm sure you do give alot of yourself, but comments like this sure don't indicate that. Maybe you should go take a trip to India, or South America, to Haiti or other areas of extreme poverty and see what you could do to help. That way, you could leave the "ATM customers" behind. I know its a rewarding thing, I've been to Central America and to a number of SE Asian countries…… you should try it.
stevo says – reply to this

66

Re: pinks – even when she is involved in charity work its all about her….can't quite remember what she named that kids camp she funded…oh yeah camp mariah! most people wait till they are dead to have something named after them….narcissism rules in the carey household

COMMENT #66… PLEASE KILL YOURSELF!

LOVE YOU MARIAH!!!
Lah-Lah says – reply to this

68

Oh, poor little rich girl…. I wonder why people want to use her? Why even bother wearing the top half of that dress? If you dress like a hooch what do you expect? And I am sure the ATM is getting tons of "debit cards" stuck in her!
mimilicious says – reply to this

69

mimi is so hot!
stevo says – reply to this

70

Comment 68: ironic (and uncalled for…this is just a blog after all) you should ask someone to committ suicide….its a serious mental health issue….im sure mariah wouldn't like it considering her ummmmm…past…be happy

NoElleNo- she ain't hung up on stardom says – reply to this

73

Mariah is telling the truth and it's something we all have to look out for…yes e'vn poor folks like me. People will use you if you let them get you caught up in their admiration of you…at first impression she may seem a bit ditzy, naive and lovey-dovey but look at what she's been through. Anyone would welcome a friendly face and we take our chances. This chick ain't no dummy! ATM or not…you still need a code. Girl don't let them n'yggas spend all yo' dough (yes I AM black and yes I DID mean it and I DID write that)! She's one of us- you know human! HA!
NoElleNo- okay- you made me shoot soda out m'nose says – reply to this

Re: just me – And it's WORKING! You're looking at her
(_I_)ies RIGHT NOW arent' you? LOLOLOL!
Jus' jokin- I'm messing with you to make you smile just a little because that made me laugh A LOT..but you ARE looking at them ain'tcha?
So was I and if you're a man how can you NOT look?
Seriously, don't be offended. I'm not trying to be mean- but what you said was hilarious… and you WERE looking.

Somebody knock this ho into the real world, pulease. She is such a narcastic ho. She need a big dose of some kind of life changing event, like losing all her hair, or a bad case of vitiligo, or maybe lose a limb. This bitch is disgusting with her self indulgant, self absorbed life. Adopt an African orphan or SOMETHING. All that talent is overshadowed by her OBSESSION with her image. FAce it bitch, you're gonna get fat and old just like the rest of us.

Re: Darnell – Let me break it down for you like this… When TOMMY meet Mariah it was because Brenda K. Star brought her to the party and gave her demo tape to a guy by the name of Jerry and Tommy went and snatched the tape from his hands. At that time Tommy was NOT President of then CBS recoreds. AFTER he 'found' the talent of Mariah he was rewarded with the President job. When she left the SONY label, he lost is job as well. FACT!

Who the hell is she talking about? You never see her with anyone (I think because all she is is a booty call!) Maybe she's talking about one of her other personalities. LOL Anyway, how can anyone compete against her for her love? Beyotch only has love for herself!

Re: jeff – I have heard over and over even recently that Tommy her ex is still her biggest fans and the other year he seemed thrilled out of his mind to be able to introduce Mariah to her his new wife and to see Mariah face to face again. Did your old lady leave you or why are you so bitter about her life from over 10 years ago now???
