MARIAH CAREY COVERS VIBE

MARIAH COVERS VIBE

Mariah Carey covers VIBE Magazine’s June 2008 issue, which hits newsstands this week. The singer who has been in the media a lot this week due to those crazy-ass Nick Cannon rumors, heats up the pages of the magazine’s summer issue as she models some of the season’s hottest swimwear revealing her recent weight loss.

The cover was shot on-location on Eagle’s Landing, a private Caribbean island off the coast of Antigua where VIBE joined Carey for her 38th birthday celebration. In the magazine, writer Shanel Odum wrote a journal narrating her encounter with the singer.
Odum provides an hour-by-hour account of the day’s events:

2PM: Mariah Carey’s $12,500-a night villa on the 300-acre tropical island is alive and almost antsy…A gang of hairstylists, fashion assistants, photographers, and makeup artists race around the open-air bungalow, each on their own mission to please.

5PM: The 5-foot-9 mirage prances past the overly attentive pack and heads towards a rickety boardwalk, which instantly transforms into her runway. A magenta silk robe whips against those endless, copper legs; black Christian Louboutin heels stab the sand; a wild halo of corkscrew curls flies.

7:30PM: Mariah Carey’s 38th birthday banquet is a Sweet 16 dream…Beckoning palms welcome guests to the entrance of the veranda…The scene inside is a strawberry-frosted pubescent fantasy: purple, pink, and white balloons dance in the balmy Caribbean breeze…And then Mariah’s posse begins to appear. Longtime confidante Shawntae “Da Brat” Harris breezes past…Recent acquaintance/music video director (“Bye Bye”) Nick Cannon grabs his laptop and goes to the buffet to fix a plate…Fuchsia feather boas drip from arms of every chair…Kitschy gold crowns, tiaras, and noisemakers adorn each place setting…As her guests fawn, Mariah drifts from friend to friend, beaming and blowing kisses.

OK, she’s grown and nekkid booty pics aside, would any of you be willing to concede that her image needs an overhaul? The new music is really too simplistic? (Or are Dr. Suess nursery rhymes all the rage these days)Her mental health is questionable?(what if she was actually diagnosed? would y’all admit it then? huh? What if she had an actual prescription?) Her style is tired? (Or does your mom’s go arount in tank tops and booty shorts sporting rainbows and holding balloons too?) I am not knocking her just to be contrary(ok, maybe a little, but she makes a lot more money than I do and I’ve got plenty of time to consider these things) … I mean, I think Janet needs to stop whispering and Madonna needs to stop dressing like a gay pimp too. I love Tina but I mean if she puts on a thong and tassels to do Proud Mary I’ll lose my lunch. At a certain point we just have to be honest and say…. no.

This site is full of Haterz, so what if she walks around semi-nekked, loads of artists do it but they dont get picked on.

Love her or hate her Mariah is one of few few artists who actually can sing, write and produce their own music!!! Why the hate?

she deserves to be at the top because shes worked for it

I love Mariah and have most of her albums, but she can take her clothes off all she wants-she still isn’t a beautiful woman. She makes designer clothes look like the came from Wet Seal

Vexxed, what the fuck are you talking about at 82? No, “touch My Body” isn’t a great song. It’s probably the worst song on the album. The rest of the new album is amazing with some of the strongest lyrics and melodies of MC’s career. She has delivered some indelible classics over the course of a nearly 20 year long career, trying to dismiss her because she say s “youtube” in one song is tired. Get some new schtick.

That doesn’t even look like her body!!! It looks like a digital cartoon character! I am not hating because Mariah Carey is a beautiful woman, but what is up with this cover? Vibe please have your photoshop team step their game up!

For those of you saying that alot of other female artists walk around half naked and no one has anything to say- That’s because those artists (i.e Janet, Beyonce, etc.) can actually pull it off!!! They are naturally sexy! But Mariah always seems to be TRYING to be sexy. That’s the difference. It seems so forced. She’s awkward with big fake boobs and mini skirts. I think that’s what people are over. I love her, think she’s a great singer and also beautiful. I just wonder if she knows she is. She seems to go out of her way to make people see that she is instead of just being. And there’s photoshop and the there’s what ???? She obviously lost alot of weight. Good for her, but seriously when did she grow hips and since when are usual size Triple D breasts all of a sudden a C cup.?

Mariah is awesome. She doesn’t need to try that hard! That’s all I’m saying!

I don’t care what nobody says, Mariah looks great. Yes, I’m sure those pictures are airbrushed but I have seen ACTUAL pics taken of her from other fans’ cameras and she really is that skinny. I think many of the people on here do not follow Mariah enough to have seen other pictures of her. Did anyone see her at the premiere of her new Movie last week? I’m sure you have cause that’s when she was wearing the infamous ring. She was completely covered up! I think there is a double standard when it comes to her. People older than her, especially men, can dress however they want but when it’s Mariah it’s a big deal.

Airbrushed like a mutha…..is that even her real body? lol…..dunno bout that one.

Vexxed, she writes all her own shit and David Foster co-wrote 1 song with her. The pics from the shoot are so hot. It amazes me how people cant see her as a writer after all this time and if you listen to most of the albums (even Glitter and Charmbracelet) its evident how great she is at writing.

I’m not feeling the cover mainly because I don’t like that cheesy pose but I do think that Mariah looks pretty cute in her outfits. If i still look that good when im 38 then please believe that I will be wearing clothes that flatter me too. I may not wear the short shorts with tights but short skirts will remain on the list.

Regardless of how u feel about her I think calling her a slut and what not is pretty mean. After all she is just human and Im sure most of ya’ll just got finish poppin a few anti depressant pills or doing a few blow jobs this week with no rent money to show for it, better yet a Vibe cover so don’t throw stones.

y’all take this net ish waaaaayyyy too seriously. I’m sure she is not at home crying about what anybody on here says about her. An opinion is just that… an opinion. You are welcome to yours just as I am welcome to mine. Bootom line is, no one really cares. She took pictures. She got paid. I don’t like them, nor do I care for her image and none of you stans will change how I feel. Period.

I just have to say this….I actually met Mariah in person a few weeks ago and as HARD as it is for some of you to believe…..Mariah ACTUALLY looks like this in person! Her waist is really tiny…..seriously, I couldn’t stop staring. She is really beautiful….and I’m just gonna keep it real, how many of you actually looked like this in your 20’s and could Rock a bikini like Mariah can at 38?….I’m just saying.
