One Sweet Day - about AIDS epidemic (88,313) by MC1989 from Spain Does anyone know if Mariah did ever spoke about this song being about the AIDS epidemic? I do know that she dedicated the song to her friend and collaborator David Cole, who, as many people between the early 80's and the mid 90's, died of AIDS, among other causes because of governments' negligence and lack of responses (by the way, if you didn't, you must watch "The Normal Heart", which tells the story of the gay activist Larry Kramer). All I could find in Wikipedia is this: "(...) After they began working on the song, Carey began to incorporate other lyrics into the chorus, trying to make the song relatable to the AIDS epidemic that was in full force in the mid-1990s." "Carey has stated that she wrote the song hoping that all her fans that have lost someone could relate to One Sweet Day and maybe help ease the pain of the loss. Carey described the song as "[the] whole idea of when you lose people that are close to you, it changes your life and changes our perspective". But I wanted to know if there is an interview or whatever where Mariah specifically adresses the terrible AIDS epidemic. Thank you. (Tuesday 5 March 2019; 19:40)

Re: Till the end of time (88,310) (88,311) by Bill from the UK I wish we could all get along like we used to in middle school. I wish I could bake a cake filled with rainbows and smiles and everyone would eat and be happy. (Tuesday 5 March 2019; 18:35)

Re: Till the end of time (88,309) (88,310) by B from USA How about you stop bullying her and being so forgetful? P.S. Don't forget to stream A No No. (Tuesday 5 March 2019; 17:42)

Re: Till the end of time (88,307) (88,309) by Edward from USA You referred about the full content of a post that wasn't directed at you and that you didn't read because l don't exist to you. If that isn't the epitome of insanity, I don't know what is. And stop trying to play the bipolar victim card. Just don't talk about posts you don't read, it kind of makes you cuckoo-for-cocoa-puffs. I'm starting to think you and Vicky are one and the same. (Tuesday 5 March 2019; 15:31)

Re: A No No (88,306) (88,308) by B from USA Request, stream, and view A No No. (Tuesday 5 March 2019; 02:53)

Re: Till the end of time (88,294) (88,307) by B from USA Victoria, when certain members of this message board reply to you or submit a message to you or about you don't read it. Pretend he or she doesn't exist, that's what I did when I read his response to your message. It was a poor attempt to shade you (and me which he'd deny if he was called out on it) but he doesn't exist to me and isn't even worthy of a slick reply. As Mariah once said, "I don't hear you, I don't see you, you don't exist to me." (Monday 4 March 2019; 21:49)

A No No (88,306) by Myles from CT, USA Where is the promo Mariah? This song could be a smash. Lets go. (Monday 4 March 2019; 20:40)

Re: Till the end of time (88,295) (88,305) by Licia from USA She likes when he flames her and then plays the victim even though she starts it. (Monday 4 March 2019; 20:11)

Re: Caution in Houston (88,298) (88,304) by Licia from USA You got to see her at a really good moment. I wish I would have been able to see Daydream live. CB tour will always be number one because that was my very first time ever seeing her live. She was still in a good place vocally imo at that time. Caution is only number 2 over TEOM because I feel she actually sang more than she lipped on this tour than she did on TEOM. (Monday 4 March 2019; 20:06)

Re: Till the end of time (88,300) (88,303) by Myles from CT, USA Andrew. Welcome back. Although your insight may have been harsh at times I must say that you were rarely incorrect. I think you love the same 1993-1994 Mariah that I fell in love with. She was perfection then and it is so hard let that go. (Monday 4 March 2019; 19:51)

Might (88,302) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) I might have to check out the Caution tour after all lol. I really like how MC got creative with the set list giving us all a little bit of something instead of the same set list she does all of the time. Hopefully she adds different songs as the tour progresses but if not I am content with the current set list for this tour outing. (Monday 4 March 2019; 18:15)

Caution World Tour (88,301) by B from USA Before the tour began I begged Mariah in a tweet do to do a medley of My All, After Tonight, and I Only Wanted. Maybe one day she'll do it. (Monday 4 March 2019; 16:01)

Re: Till the end of time (88,267) (88,300) by Todd from Melbourne, Australia Lookie what we have here. Welcome back Mr Feisty. I've missed your musings. (Monday 4 March 2019; 11:21)

Addition to setlist (88,299) by IheartMC from USA Hey guys, just want to say how glad I am that M changed up the setlist and did some interesting things such as a the disco remix of Emotions. So so dope. I would love for to add an acoustic medley and do songs like "I don't want to cry", "My all", "After tonight", "I only wanted", "Beautiful", "Clown" and even do "Hero" in a singer songwriter way in acoustic form. It would show more depth to some of her introspective songs. What do you guys think? (Monday 4 March 2019; 09:55)

Re: Caution in Houston (88,293) (88,298) by Bill from the UK How did the Caution tour rank by comparison to your others Licia? I've only seen Mariah twice, at the Daydream and Rainbow tours in London. I sort of don't mind that I'm too poor to ever see her as the fact I was at the Daydream tour during her absolute prime is one of my most treasured memories from my whole life.

Re: After the Caution tour (88,291) (88,297) by Sarah from Netherlands That's just factually inaccurate. The experience may be different, but the quality is definitely not better. Have you tried watching a DVD on a 4K TV? (Monday 4 March 2019; 06:53)

Re: Till the end of time (88,267) (88,296) by Tevin from USA Welcome back Andrew. (Monday 4 March 2019; 04:47)

Re: Till the end of time (88,294) (88,295) by Edward from USA You and Andrew should get a room already. You totally have a crush on him, it's like you're on a constant drooling and sweating all over every time he comes around. Victoria, you don't seem have a "secret" anymore. Vicky and Andy would look very nice "emblazoned" on a doormat. I forgot my meds again. (Monday 4 March 2019; 03:02)

Re: Till the end of time (88,285) (88,294) by Victoria from USA As if we didnt't know he was coming back. (Monday 4 March 2019; 00:48)

Re: Caution in Houston (88,289) (88,293) by Licia from USA I was honestly hoping he wasn't there. I was so far away I couldn't tell whether he was there or not anyway. From where I was sitting all the dancers looked like dancing raisins. Lol. This was my 3rd time seeing her. I saw her for the CB tour and TEOM tour. (Sunday 3 March 2019; 23:50)

Mariah should release her shows on DVD (88,292) by Brazil Lamb from Brazil We wish Mariah would release all her tours on DVD/Blu-ray. Since she doesn't, there are fans around the world who put together footage and release it from fans to fans. I saw this one and am truly surprised by the quality. It really looks professional. For more fans like this. (Sunday 3 March 2019; 22:55)

Re: After the Caution tour (88,282) (88,291) by TJ from Norway I just agree so much with you. Streaming is not the same as having the CD or DVD. The quality is much better in physical formats than on Netflix or Spotify. I just hope she will release some of her old concerts etcetera. I went to the Paris concert on the Charmbracelet tour. I remember they filmed it, and that it was supposed to be released on DVD. I just don't remember why it never happened. One of my friends is a huge fan of Madonna and she does release a lot of stuff for her fans. I know he is very satisfied with those releases. There's just so nice to play a concert from a to b. Mariah, do it. Please. (Sunday 3 March 2019; 21:18)

Re: Glitter (88,275) (88,290) by Special K from USA Like I said before, Glitter is the last powerhouse vocal album that we will ever hear from Mariah again. (Sunday 3 March 2019; 20:32)

Re: Caution in Houston (88,265) (88,289) by Special K from USA Did you see my baby? Oh by the way I am so happy you finally got to see Mariah in concert. (Sunday 3 March 2019; 20:31)
