Mariah's Fans Fear For Her Fashion Faux Pas

Mariah Carey has been getting some major flack for her outfit choices on tour, even on her own website's message boards. Fans reacted to the tour buzz, as well as the not-so-flattering pictures that have been floating around with comments like:




"The picture promises a night of glamorous, high fashion, truly sexy haute couture, but the reality, at least when it comes to that black get-up, is a tacky, too small, trashy embarrassment of a number. I don't know how Mariah, or her staff, think that this stunning woman would look good in this itty bitty cheap frock, but they need to ditch it before the concert moves on."

Another fan states "Mariah failed to create a buzz about her live performance during her album because she wore tacky costumes and stood in one place and sang, and a lot of times had some off key moments, not bashing, but telling the truth...Her outfits are too revealing to appeal to a massive adult audience, and the fact that she just stands in one place and sings, and waves her hands is not entertaining enough for younger audiences."

These comments are from Mariah's free message boards, the paid members also lash out on the "Friends of Mariah" message boards. Although Mariah has slimmed down quite a bit for the tour, it looks like her fans think she might need to consider a new stylist.

47. The people who are too conservative and shocked by what Mariah wears shouldnt be at the shows anyways. She is 38 years old and can have the right to wear what she wants!!!!
If she hasent sold enough albums what more can she do. Cater to the world... hell no she is the one gettin paid so let her enjoy life. Buy the cd or dont but Mariah has always stayed the same.
As for the message boards are concerned. Dont forget half the people that post are
A) Bandwagon fans that only like her now because she is popular or "Back"
B) idiots who cant sing and have listened to hear music 50000 million times and now want to nit pick her and tell her how to run her career.
***point being she got here on her own with Mimi so I think she is well aware of her costumes and *****Its a take it or leave it***** situation. I admire her for it! I wouldnt change for NOONE!!! She stays real!

48. I love Mariah, but I have to agree, she is 36 years old dressing like she is 18, its really not cute to see her butt cheeks hanging out while she is singing MY ALL, and its not her stylist's fault either, at the end of the day the stylist can give the artist different styles to choose from, and if it so happens the artist picks the tackiest things to wear out of the assortment, it ain't the stylist fault on their final decision... its the artist. So Mimi might as well dress herself and not pay stylist, when she don't even follow their suggestions anyhow, its just a waste of money mimi! But don't let her bad clothing choices distract from the fact her TOUR IS AWESOME and its about the music (mostly) I don't know why people are so surprised over this, Mariah has never been the one to be fashionably appealing, so why this is still even being discussed is beyond me! lol let her be, and enjoy the adventures of Mimi!

50. I love Mariah, but it would be nice for her to dress a little bit more appropriately. I know she is on a tour and its supposed to be eloborate, but you can be eloborate without looking a hot mess! But then again Mariah has never been the one to be fashionably appealing so why is this topic of what Mariah wears still being discussed, Mariah can have the best fashion consultants in the world and she still wouldn't look any better because at the end of the day its what MARIAH WANTS TO WEAR and not the stylist, so all this talk of FIRE THE STYLIST ain't even gonna work, cuz its not their fault Mariah over rides their suggestions and goes for the skimpy stuff! Hell Andre Leon Talley couldn't even get through so stop complaining about what Mariah wears and just enjoy the adventures BUTT CHEEKS, BOOBS, and ALL!

52. she's a beautiful woman with a beautiful voice, but she lacks class. just because she can afford the most expensive clothes, vacations, champagne, etc., doesn't mean she's "classy". she's far from it.

53. Are you idiots crazy? First of all what a voice she has!! What talent! She writes, sings and produces her music. Not to mention a multitude of other talents. I am a member of Mariah's fan club and I have yet to hear a true fan call her outfits trashy. That so called "fan criticism" is from a FREE webpage where anyone can post crap. Who are you all to call her fat? Jealous much? Yes, she's 36, since when was that old age? You know, these haters call celebrities out if they aren't friggin 85 pounds and call them fat, but when they are 85 pounds they call them out for being to skinny. Mariah is not fat or even any bit overweight for that matter. She's got everything these haters wish they had. There is nothing wrong with how she dresses. She's got it!! She can flaunt it!! Haters!!!!!

54. Let the girl wears what SHE wants, damn some fans are worse than her ex-husband, she's FREE, TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT

55. Please don't include all Mariah fans in this trash. These comments were taken from only a few fans on a messageboard while there are thousands of us real fans who love her the way she was, she is and will be.
Mariah once said: "This is me, the real me, take it or leave it"
I guess time has come for some to leave it.
Luv and support always.

58. I was a big fan of her but not anymore. I still like her voice but not the person she is becoming. I loved her when she whas more down to earth but now she looks catatonic. Weaving hand and always standing in that simaler possition, arm and that leg in this position like on the photo. Everybody knows that you show slimmer that way and that's maybe why she stands like that. But if she wears long dresses she doesn't need to stand that way. What's wrong with the long dresses, she looks good in that.

More.... people treat her with less respect because she is dressing like a .......
She don't need that, she's good enough and doesn't need that ..... clothes
