I think she was more so getting back at him for something. She didn't seem "crazy" like everyone said she was. Any comments, tea, or thoughts?

It was weird and she was probably drunk/high, but people made more out of it than it was.

I didn't see anything crazy about it, just remember thinking where the hell did she come from hell I figured she was just being true herself

ETA: Lord knows I love Mimi but that outfit nor that ponytail was not flattering at all

I think this was some weird pre-foreplay session. "therapy" is code for bone.

At the time and watching it live, I thought it was a bit weird. Watching it now, I don't find it to be so strange. Artists used to drop by unannounced on TRL all the time. It was that kind of show. And I don't think it was completely a surprise visit. I think the producers knew she was coming because they had the damn ice cream cart all decorated and ish. Mariah just appeared to be in a cheerful mood and may have thrown a little shade here and there about her peeps like when she said the money ain't in her bank account and whatnot. Basically...I just see Mariah being Mariah.

I will neeeeeeeeever forget this. I was in high school and Mariah came out in those too little ass shorts talking about "everybody needs a little ice cream in their life!!!" and really was not in her right mind. Her programming had truly malfunctioned. She went into the hospital for "exhaustion" shortly thereafter. :disdain:

She did have a break down though. She was already working hard and then had to do even more once he wasn't in her corner anymore. Tommy was making her life hell during that time. I think after 2003(J.Lo song sample) he finally gave up. Or maybe that's when he met Thalia.

We all saw Tommy's book recently where he admitted not letting Mariah rest.

But go watch what Marlon posted. Questions answered from her mouth.

She stepped out and didn't obey handlers and they went in. This is why many artist can't/don't want to share their real personalities and let their hair down. She had a lot going on back then with her first movie about to hit theaters. The headlines claiming she was cracking caused bad press right before her movie premiered. I'm a true MC fan and I watched this when it aired. I was just happily surprised and excited to see her. How interesting is it she came in after a Jarule/J Lo vid.

The Queen's true self is playful, joyful and genuinely nice to people. She treated Carson like family and TRL like it was a second home which is why she was so unrehearsed. Carson was so professional at schmoozing the celebrity guest that she thought they were "cool" like friends but he was worried about his job and was treating her like a leper. He proved that he was a little phony/funny. TRL gave the celebs a platform to be open and connect with fans. All the stars wild'ed out a little when they came through there. It was better than watching them doing interviews on other shows.

Carson acted the same way towards Aaliyah when she tried to get him to touch a snake not to long after this episode....then Aaliyah was dead :(

Then 9/11.

Watching this clip and hearing the music they were talking about brought back so many memories just now. It gave me an eerie sense of deja vu and I felt a pang of sadness. 2001 was not a good year at all.

Carson was dry and distant with pretty much everyone though. He use to annoy me. He always came across as uninterested and bothered by what guest had to say.

I remember watching this live and I didn't think anything of it. It wasn't weird to me and it still isn't. I never got the big deal... :dunno:

Carson was always uninterested because he wasn't a pop music fan and thought most of the guests were tedious. His personal tastes skew more indie.

MC has always been "off", but it was clear she was going through something at the time. It wasn't just this. There were a few instances of her behaving sporadically. Then they began canceling appearances and shows. She went "away" for a few months too. It was a whole lot more than just being "playful".

Hell she even said "My money isn't even my account" and laughed when no one else did...

She was going through something alright, but probably just meant it all in good fun - I think she was on something though...But it was planned, in her head that entrance...

I remember this like yesterday and its clear she was going through something. She was getting really bad reviews for Glitter and got ripped to shreds in the media in general during this era. Also, Jlo was the new it girl at that time too and for years it was all about Mariah. I think there were many contributing factors to her breakdown, but I'm glad she pulled through.

Aww, well I'm glad she seems to be doing much better since then. I remember hearing about her having her breakdown and was worried she wouldn't bounce back. Glad she did, I love her :)

Truth! Carson was always throwing shade to the artist that came on there.
