Re: Saudi Arabia (87,809) (87,831) by We are Lambily from USA Dove, I'm so happy you feel safe in America, but unfortunately millions of people don't feel that away. Also one of many reasons why I spent more than half of my life in Europe. (Thursday 31 January 2019; 21:38)

Re: Saudi (87,829) (87,830) by B from USA Mariah doesn't want to disappoint her fans. (Thursday 31 January 2019; 21:21)

Saudi (87,829) by george golden from uk She should cut it out and cancel that show asap. What is wrong with her? (Thursday 31 January 2019; 21:11)

Re: CNN on Mariah's concert in Saudi Arabia (87,821) (87,828) by MusicfanJ from Germany It's on the news here too. She's the looser of the day. (Not my words, it's the headline of it.) (Thursday 31 January 2019; 19:37)

Now, now (87,827) by Nikki from usa Did everyone forget already? Mariah cancelled her concert in Brussels due to a terrorist threat. This one is new. It may very well be cancelled at the last minute. It depends if this news makes it to her and her team because it is very recent. Her concert is tonight. Usually, golf tournaments aren't so eventful. A lot of stars have fans in the Middle East. Mariah has hit songs and album sales there. We've had plenty of US comedians over there the last few years, but I don't see anybody blasting them for it. Unfortunately, Mariah's current venue is a big breeding ground for an attack. A major star on a televised event. (Thursday 31 January 2019; 17:14)

Re: Saudi Arabia (87,810) (87,826) by B from USA I don't get it either. I could understand the outrage if it was a private performance for the Saudi king/prince but it wasn't so why penalize her Saudi fans because of it. (Thursday 31 January 2019; 15:57)

Re: Proceed with caution: Saudi threats (87,807) (87,825) by B from USA Surely, Mariah and her management will pull out of the event. (Thursday 31 January 2019; 15:55)

Re: Jussie Smollett (87,806) (87,824) by B from USA Isn't it. Sadly, Trump's election has emblazoned the racists and homophobes. (Thursday 31 January 2019; 15:53)

Re: Migrate and O.O.C. (87,819) (87,823) by B from USA I'll Be Loving You Long Time is pop perfection. Mariah singing full voiced over a sample of DeBarge's Stay With Me is a stroke of genius. As was her decision to double her voice. If Puffy is the king of the sample then Mariah is the queen. Critics assumed IBLYLT would be Mariah's 19th #1. Migrate is bold album opener. It's catchy and hypnotic. When I first heard it I was shocked. I never dream Mariah would use autotune and voval manipulators on her vocals but she did and suprisingly it worked. Danja and Mariah should work together again. OOC is a song I've only listened to a handful of times. Maybe I should give it a listen and see if I still find it underwhelming.

Re: The Roof (87,820) (87,822) by Susana from USA I love love love the Roof. It is one of my all time favorites. It one of the few that I put on repeat. It is in my opinion the "cool" Mariah song in every way. Now off to go take my millionth listen. (Thursday 31 January 2019; 15:13)

CNN on Mariah's concert in Saudi Arabia (87,821) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway CNN is reporting about activists urging Mariah to cancel her concert. So everybody here thinking it's not a big deal, it's international news now, and it does not look good on Mariah's behalf. (Thursday 31 January 2019; 14:34)

Re: The Roof (87,814) (87,820) by MusicfanJ from Germany The Roof is indeed hypnotic. I love the song so much since the first listening. The description of it by Gee is perfect. I also love the video (her look is just stunning, that retro vibe is everything), and the remix. Pure art. The lyrics are so poetic and the rap part is great too. It suits so well. I also noticed that a lot of non-Mariah fans enjoy the song and are surprised that this is Mariah Carey. So enough praising. (Thursday 31 January 2019; 11:32)

Migrate and O.O.C. (87,819) by Licia from USA These are the next songs I'm exploring. I might throw in I'll Be Loving You Long Time. That one really had my face screwed up when I first heard it. Lol. Some of you really hype up Migrate so I'm hoping I hear something that will finally make me love it. I have no explanation as to why I never paid attention to O.O.C. after hearing it once. (Thursday 31 January 2019; 11:20)

Re: Proceed with caution: Saudi threats (87,807) (87,818) by MusicfanJ from Germany I really hope Mariah and her team will cancel this gig. Yes, her safety is another reason not to perform there. Please Mariah don't go. (Thursday 31 January 2019; 11:19)

Re: Saudi threats (87,813) (87,817) by Licia from USA Ribbon exactly. She's going to do what she's going to do regardless. All you can really do is hope for the best for her, her children, her team, and her fans. (Thursday 31 January 2019; 11:10)

Re: The Roof (87,814) (87,816) by Licia from USA Gave The Roof a few tries and I'm still not feeling it like you all. At least I tried. Lol. I don't hate the song. It just doesn't pull me in or make me want to listen to it over and over. I also don't hate The Butterfly album. I mean I love Butterfly, Babydoll, Breakdown, The Beautiful Ones, Fourth of July, and Honey. I enjoy dang near the whole album. It has just always been overhyped to me because people claimed she just started to change musically on this album, but the musical transition had already begun with Daydream. I feel people were more enthralled by the image change that the Butterfly era brought. Butterfly just wasn't groundbreaking for me on the music front. She was allowed to explored more of what she wanted on this album, but it didn't start with Butterfly. (Thursday 31 January 2019; 11:07)

Re: Proceed with caution: Saudi threats (87,807) (87,815) by 90sMariah from SG It seems like she's hard up for cash these days. Even in her current vocal state, she can't say no to high paying gigs and shows because those splashes and pill bottles ain't going to refill themselves. Let her be, it's all about the money for some people. So who cares if she will be performing in a terrorist-cradling (I hope you haven't forgotten who funds most terrorist groups in the world - yes SA) country, right? (Thursday 31 January 2019; 09:23)

Re: The Roof (87,801) (87,814) by Lafa from Sweden My dad gave a listen to The Roof in the car once and he thought it was "hypnotic". (Thursday 31 January 2019; 05:57)

Saudi threats (87,813) by RibbonB from USA Mimi has been doing her thing for years, ignoring politics and whatnot. I don't judge her, but I always hope she and her team take threats seriously. I worry for her on many of these excursions. When I heard she was going on this one I really hope she would at least not take her children into such a zone. Wishing her well. (Thursday 31 January 2019; 01:31)

Saudi Arabia (87,812) by Dove from United States My response was more to the whole thread in general but especially the post saying places like Norway, Spain, and the US are as bad as places like Saudi Arabia; and the person saying people feel good about themselves for sharing information on the internet. I don't believe people should keep quiet when they know something is wrong and people communicate with each other mostly on the internet these days. (Thursday 31 January 2019; 00:51)

Article: ISIS call for terror attack on Mariah Carey concert (87,811) by Geronimo from USA Wow. It's too bad Mariah did not take the chance to cancel her show for an uplifting and empowering reason culminating in a teachable moment. Now she will have to do it for security reasons. Or maybe she will go through with the show anyway and be heralded as brave and fearless. (Thursday 31 January 2019; 00:50)

Saudi Arabia (87,810) by SM from Citizen of the World I don't really understand all this drama all over social media about Mariah performing in Saudi Arabia tomorrow. She has fans all over the world she is allowed to perform for them. People love her all over. (Thursday 31 January 2019; 00:26)

Saudi Arabia (87,809) by Dove from United States It's important to take a stand against unacceptable behavior in general, whether it be on the internet or in real life. Everybody can't know 100% of everything but we can educate each other. Being more informed can help us determine what's important to us. I don't know much about Saudi Arabia but from what I do know, it reminds me of the place in A Handmaid's Tale where they're doing terrible things (especially to women) but go on living as if they're doing nothing wrong. Terrible things happen everywhere but, for example, in the US people still have rights and even the poorest people don't have it that bad (compared to other countries) because there are lots of safety nets. Not saying it's easy, just relatively better. I know there are countries who take care of their people better than the US but I don't think it's that bad here. I don't feel unsafe or desperate to leave. (Thursday 31 January 2019; 00:18)

Re: Vanishing (87,792) (87,808) by Chicago Lamb from USA I just played "The Roof" for a friend recently and he said, "Wow this is Mariah? It sounds so modern." He liked the song/production and he's not even a fan. (Wednesday 30 January 2019; 19:42)

Proceed with caution: Saudi threats (87,807) by Ronnie from California Why is no one talking about the alleged terrorist threats? There are allegations that terrorist groups were planning to break havoc at her concert. Whether or not the allegations are false, it is concerning. Given the circumstances, threats are a possibility that I'm sure Mariah and her team acknowledged prior to signing her up. But now that those allegations have been put out there (regardless of validity), it has the power to inspire others to follow through. It's terrible but it is also the truth. And plus, these parallels are getting ridiculous. (Wednesday 30 January 2019; 18:30)
