Gosh, I always notice that if the topic is Mariah, there are a lot of people posting their comments. I means to say, she’s popular! Movies or music, she’ll make it! Next topic pls…
Will there be a choir of children behind her in the movie like EVERY tv appearance? I’ll pass on opening night.
Wasn’t this supposed to be Janet Jackson’s role. If that’s the case, then we will be seeing Mariah Carey co-star with Macauley Culkin. That will be, um, interesting.
In the infamous words of Whitney Houston….Awww Hell To Da Naw!!!
Look, the director’s right, ya gotta see Wisegirls. Mariah CAN act; she did a good job in that movie! Go MC!
I say give the girl another chance. Look at Madonna, great singer, not a great actress. But in smaller roles like the one in A League of Their Own, she was funny and sexy. Maybe if Mariah sticks to small feature-type roles or cameos, she’ll do fine.
I agree with Jimmy. I’ve always found Mariah’s acting in music videos to be pretty irritating, so whether to go see “Glitter” was never an issue. But the girl can obviously sing.
Some people compare Mariah with others, such as J.Lo : Up to and including “Out of Sight” Jennifer Lopez enjoyed good to excellent critical reviews, even when scripts were less than perfect. She was selected from many candidates to dance on “In Living Color”, to portray the murdered singer Selena, and to co-star with George Clooney in “Out of Sight”. Lopez wasn’t a star yet; she got the parts because she was good and stood out from the rest. People who tell you otherwise are trying to rewrite history, for their own personal reasons.
I think this “triple threat” goal that many performers want to pursue is a career land mine. Jennifer’s acting career started suffering when she became “J.Lo”, crowded her already tight schedule making albums, and spread herself too thin. I really like some of her songs, but (jmo) she should have worked harder with a vocal coach to maximize her voice ( as Madonna did before “Evita”) or made it a lower priority. Jen probably was more distracted when choosing scripts and preparing for movie roles. And, though it isn’t “fair”, the Bennifer fall-out probably hurt the most. Jen looks much calmer and happier now and I’m really looking forward to a couple of the films she’s completed.
So it all comes down to what does someone do best, can they maintain it, and how much of their personal life are they willing to give up to wear all these different hats! If I were Mariah, I’d be careful, remembering how she had a break-down during the whole “Gliltter” debacle.
Concentrate on losing her back fat and implants – TOO FUNNY!!!! I think she should stick to small bit-parts. Although I’d love to see her pull a Charleze Theron and get all skanked out. We all know she’d never do it though.
When you can’t act then you can’t act, what makes the director think she’ll be a good actress in his movie?
To be honest i dont like putting people down at all. Maybe she cant act maybe she can, who knows. All i have to say is everyone though MADDONA in evita was a great performance. I though Maria perfomance in Glitter was like watching gone with the wind compared to evita!
Oh, for the love of all that is holy!!! Please!! Spare us the pain of Mariah Carey trying to act! Glitter, hello??!!! Plus, someone introduce to that girl a gym, or personal trainer, or something. She keeps getting bigger, but her clothes don’t. Disgusting!!
The only question I have is will she be naked? I would love to see those big assed tittes!!!
YALL JUST NEED TA STOP HATIN ON MY HOMEGUH MARIAH JUST CUZ SHE DOIN IT BIG AND SHYT U TRIFLIN TRICKZ DON’T NEED TA BE TALKIN CUZ U AIN’T GOT SHYT ON ME AND MARIAH SO GET IT STRAIGHT B4 I SET U STRAIGHT
1. Mariah is not fat, she’s thick.
2. Mariah is a performer – performers sing, dance and act!
3. It’s an indie film.
Relax. Have a shot.
