So the fine folks at Game of War replaced eye candy Kate Upton(and a horrible commerical) with the poster girl for plastic surgery Mariah Carey (and still a horrible commercial).

Just imagine what she'll look like in about ten years when all of that starts to sag!

It looks like the camera frame is warped to make her look thinner when she appears on screen.

Someone made it better by saying Mariah runs like Phoebe from Friends. I had to look up the reference, but it was worth it.

I always thought Mariah was cute, but bring Kate back!
Though, with the age starting to show on Mariah's face, she does pull off "haggard old dragon slayer" better than Kate. |

Why oh WHY take one of the few highlights (boobies and utterly BLAND 'acting') from a guilty pleasure ad..and put Mariah CAREY in it? Does she have ANYTHING to do with gamers? At least you know nerds have ogled Sports illustrateds swimsuit issue for years..is there a GAY gamer contingent i am unaware of?
I mean, what diva is next, Rupaul? |

Mariah Carey was so wholesome in the very early 90's-to about 1996. Vision Of Love, Music Box, Fantasy eras anyone?Then in 1997, she became slutty out of nowhere. Butterfly, The Roof, Rainbow era anyone? She stayed slutty ever since.

It's all those prescription meds that she loves so much. I can't stand her.

If you read the comments below the youtube video, its really sad. All positive, gushing supportive comments. I smell a rat here. I think most of the comments are from people paid to write positive reviews. They all sound very similar, and a lot of them mention how they immediately went and downloaded the game after seeing the clip. Seems very fishy to me.

Not only the prescription meds, but alcohol. She is known for bringing her concerts to a halt just so she can take a sip of champagne. Her estranged brother has been quoted as saying he fears she'll end up like Whitney Houston.
I echo what Calvin said above about the arc of her career. There was a time when Mariah could do no wrong (musically at least). "Daydream" was her best album IMO - she made moves into urban contemporary territory without going totally "hood" and kept enough of the pop polish fans fell in love with on previous albums, it was the perfect amalgamation. Those days are long gone. In addition to marketing herself as a sex kitten, she also, like Madonna, seems to think she's still in her twenties and she can still appeal to kids with guest rappers and tired paint-by-numbers R&B (complete with gratuitous obscenity) that would have sounded dated five years ago. Her recent music is not terrible but it's nothing to write home about either - run-of-the-mill R&B that anyone with the talent level of an Ashanti could make sound good. Not to mention, the soaring vocals displayed in this commercial on one of her signature songs, "Hero," are a shadow of their former selves due to overuse and abuse of her famous whistle register. Of the big three divas of the 1990s - Mariah, Whitney, and Celine Dion - Celine is the only one whose voice is still as strong, if not stronger, than at her commercial peak (Whitney's vocal deterioration before her death was very well documented). As a previous poster mentioned, she also does not LOOK like that anymore, due to her recent weight gain and substance abuse issues. It's just another way Mariah is trying to project the image that she still looks like she did in 1997. She's not fooling anyone but herself. Regardless of all of the above, Mariah is a very odd pitchwoman for a game like this ostensibly meant to appeal to heterosexual males who either don't know who she is or want nothing to do with her. It does seem like they are trying to appeal to some kind of gay male demographic, as gay males are Mariah's primary audience these days. And from what I've seen online, many in her "Lamb" fanbase are so mindless in their devotion to her that they will download the game just because she's in the commercial. |

^ I never got off on those singers or that style because it always seemed to be too much about the singing and dancing. Okay, we get it. You have powerful voices and look good dancing around in skimpy costumes. Now how about some interesting musicianship and songwriting? How about a little less vocal gymnastics and a little more melody? I always thought Whitney Houston had a great voice but wasted it on that screaming style. There was never anything subtle or interesting about it. Yelling, screaming, yodeling, emoting. That's all it was. |

I never could stand MC from the first time I heard her name. I hate the name Mariah anyway.
Her and every other pop diva. It's all just repackaged disco as far as I'm concerned. Except that the disco era actually managed in spite of itself, to produce a handful of good songs. The urban pop era, has not in my opinion. |

They call the wind Mariah. I don't like wind or MC or gaudy musicals like Paint Your Wagon.

I have never fancied Ms. Carey's vocals or appearance. That weird sound affect she seems to do on every song (the note that resembles a dentist drill) gets on my nerves completely.
Now that she is approaching middle age, perhaps she can back off from the coquette look, but I doubt she ever will. Her ego won't allow her to grow older with grace. Those who find her appearance on this advert to be more attractive than the lovely, buxom blonde which she replaced, have a much different opinion about beauty than me. (Actually if it was up to me, the lovely lady shown would be a freckle faced ginger actress....like Rose Leslie ❤️) |

Yes, she is rather thin, but I have always fancied thinner framed women. I don't understand the fascination everyone seems to have with the whole "Kardashian" look. |

remind me again, WHY do people continue to throw money at sh*tty pay-to-win games like this?
we all know the game is crappy and only aimed at making you empty you're wallet/pockets/etc. people need to quit perpetuated this scum of the gaming industry already. it's sickening. wish all this crappy microtransaction BS would die off already. NO ONE likes it unless it's the greed driven devs (no other reason for it at all) who churn it out. |

I played one for a while last year. It was called Spartan Wars. Never spent a dime. I just spent most of my time in chat with my group. Definitely met some interesting characters. Even learned a little Tagalog. The game itself was just more waiting than anything unless you constantly threw money at it, which quite a few people did. The ones with the most money inevitably would win. It just became a game of bullying the ones who didn't throw real money away. This game is the same. Hell, all of these games are exactly the same. And it's sad because all these developers are making a mint just copying each other. I guess that's the same with all the King games (Candy Crush Saga, Bubble Witch Saga, all the Saga games).

I don't care for the Kardashian look, but I don't want a girl who looks like she's going to break a bone because I coughed in her direction and didn't get my hand up to block it in time, either. |

Ha-ha! Agreed about the frail type ladies. On the other hand, Rose Leslie is a Scot, most Scottish women, whether thin and wiry like Ms. Leslie or not, they are all pretty strong ladies. When she was shown handling a bow and arrow in her role as Ygritte on Game Of Thrones, she looked pretty natural in her efforts....because she is! If you coughed in her direction without putting up a hand of warning, you'd probably wind up with a broken nose, because she'd probably give a Glosgow kiss (head-butt). I love Scot women! |
