Re: Okay hooold up now (87,788) (87,796) by MusicfanJ from Germany But it's a difference if a country has no human rights at all and is living like we still have the middle age. I wouldn't go to a place like that, not even for money. To compare Saudi Arabia with Spain and Australia is ridiculous. Every country has it's own problems for sure, especially with politics. But again, to have no human rights at all is another thing. (Wednesday 30 January 2019; 11:52)

Re: Vanishing (87,792) (87,795) by Tijl from Belgium How could you possibly name "The Roof" overrated ? It's a bloody gem. (Wednesday 30 January 2019; 11:37)

Re: Mariah please don't do it (87,784) (87,794) by TJ from Norway It's not the first time that Mariah does this, and I think it's crazy that some lambs on this board think it's ok, and at the same time wonder why many people doesn't take her seriously. (Wednesday 30 January 2019; 07:11)

Re: This site Mimi L (87,762) (87,793) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Yes ma'am, 9 months ago haha. (Wednesday 30 January 2019; 05:40)

Re: Vanishing (87,782) (87,792) by george golden from uk The Roof is overrated. If I must play a track to non fan I would say Underneath The Stars, All In Your Mind and Close My Eyes. (Wednesday 30 January 2019; 05:24)

Request: Butterfly (Classic Bossa Nova) (87,791) by Lafa from Sweden I have a small request here. To me, Butterfly (Classic Bossa Nova) is the most beautiful song. I slow down the tempo in audacity, but it causes a lowering of quality (small cuts, scratches). Is there anyone who can do this professionally and succeed? (Wednesday 30 January 2019; 04:50)

Re: Article: Mariah urged by activists to cancel Saudi Arabia concert (87,770) (87,790) by John from USA Joachim: Until reparations are bestowed upon the Sami and Kven communities in Norway, I would hope that you would also lead in discouraging Mariah from ever performing in your country. Much research has been conducted on Sami and Kven communities over the years. However, little has been done on the long-term effects of the government repressive policies on these ethnic groups. The Sami people live with a heritage of repression and abuse, and for many Sami it is about shame, about lack of language and visibility, mental heath and taboos. To a great extent, the same goes for the Kvens, the descendants of 19th century Finnish immigrants. Mariah: Please only perform in a perfect country with perfect people, because we. will. all. be. triggered. SMH. (Wednesday 30 January 2019; 04:16)

Ellen and Wendy (87,789) by RibbonB from USA Not sure if my original post attempt went through. I'm hearing that Mimi is no longer appearing on Ellen next week. Since Wendy is still out sick, I am now hearing that Nick Cannon is scheduled to guest host her show on February 4-6th. If Mimi were to finally appear on Wendy, in her absence that would be a twist . I'm sure that's not going to happen. (Wednesday 30 January 2019; 02:55)

Re: Okay hooold up now (87,786) (87,788) by John from USA By your reasoning and train thought: If you've ever watched or condoned Mariah performing in Australia, then you are part of the problem too. There are at least 250 known and mapped out massacres of Australian aborigines that occurred from 1780s all the way to as recent as the 1920s by white folk. To this day, they remain displaced, marginalized, underrepresented, and neglected to the point that they have become "fringe dwellers" in their own native country. Please stop Mariah from ever going to Australia, where the murder and oppression of Australian aborigines has occurred for almost three centuries, and where they still remain a neglected demographic by the ruling class (who can afford Mariah's concert tickets, BTW). Virtual heroism makes people feel so good about themselves, doesn't it? If you wanna learn more about the current issues Australian aborigines struggle with here is a link. I'm going to suggest that as part of our battle to address the needs of Australian aborigines, we should discourage Mariah from performing in Australia from now until the day the white conquerors leave Australia to its rightful owners.

Re: Okay hooold up now (87,786) (87,787) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Regardless of what she's doing it for or when she chooses to do it, the main reason of outrage for this on this board seems to be the Saudi of it all. That she gets paid for it, while disappointing, seems to be secondary. Too much focus is placed on the country that only shows how little we know of other troubled countries as well. It is, as mentioned earlier, virtual heroism - selective at that, and tends to come across as disingenuous. (Wednesday 30 January 2019; 00:57)

Re: Okay hooold up now (87,772) (87,786) by Todd from Melbourne, Australia I would have agreed with you a couple of years ago. But now, as much as I love Mariah's music, I think Mariah does things for money, not fans. So whilst the notion of "Mariah Carey performs for Saudi fans" is nice, the reality is more likely "Mariah performs in Saudi Arabia for money". I have seen too many cancellations, too many "I'm 90 minutes late for my show" incidents that would seriously disappoint the 1990s "forget the the ensemble, this is about the fans" Mariah that we once knew. And that's fine - it's always been about the music for me. (Tuesday 29 January 2019; 22:24)

Re: Rainbow / Glitter (87,766) (87,785) by MC1989 from Spain In my opinion, Rainbow is Mariah's worst album. The singles she released are great, and Petals, but the rest of the album is very poor compared to, for instance, Glitter, TEOM or Caution. Glitter is her most underrated album, but the fans know it's a very good album that unfortunately was eclipsed by the movie (bad, but not as bad as they say) that combines great up tempo songs with a clear 80's influence (Didn't Mean To Turn You On , All My Life), with powerful ballads in which she shows some of her best vocals (Lead The Way, Reflections, Never Too Far), and intimate and nostalgic vibes (Twister).

Re: Mariah please don't do it (87,773) (87,784) by John from USA Please don't go to Spain, either, Mariah. Spain doesn't want to give Catalan separatists the independence they have been clamoring for. Please don't also perform in my country, the US, too, because the US is involved in an illegal war in the Middle East, and still has not given back the land to Native Americans. Please don't go to: [insert country you are currently outraged about here] because of [insert scandalous clutch-your-pearls reason here] then express how good you feel about yourself "speaking up" and "changing the world". I swear, the level of hypocrisy and self-righteousness here. It's like stepping in SJWs-R-Us. (Tuesday 29 January 2019; 20:48)

Re: This site lol (87,774) (87,783) by Edward from USA I see you also forgot to take your meds. I feel relieved I'm not the only one. Disclaimer: meds talked about on this post have nothing to do with the polar bears. (Tuesday 29 January 2019; 20:22)

Re: Vanishing (87,775) (87,782) by ksquarred from paris The Roof is the song I always play to non-Mariah fans, along with the video, to show them how great she is. And Vanishing is the song I keep singing when I shower. These are two of my favorites. (Tuesday 29 January 2019; 19:42)

Re: Vanishing (87,775) (87,781) by Bill from the UK Okay back up and pop it in reverse for a second. You don't like The Roof? Blasphemy lol. When you get to it, definitely watch the video alongside as it perfectly captures the atmosphere of the song (those limo shots are something else). The lyrics are so poetic and the driving beat almost sounds like rain. She's never done a song that atmospheric and moody until Giving Me Life in my opinion. It's a real gem and my favourite from Butterfly. It pains me that the planned UK release as a single was canned as it was deemed too urban. (Tuesday 29 January 2019; 19:40)

Re: Rainbow / Glitter (87,776) (87,780) by Bill from the UK Yes. (Tuesday 29 January 2019; 19:37)

Re: Vanishing (87,775) (87,779) by RibbonB from USA Seriously, same, 'cept I do like Vanishing myself. (Tuesday 29 January 2019; 19:15)

Mariah Saudi Arabia (87,778) by Nikki from usa I fail to see what Mariah's performance has to do with politics. They're paying her to be there, not the other way around. This is for a golf tournament. I'd think it would be better to have a woman represent her talent before the public. However, when Saudi women don't have rights, can't publicly speak, and will be imprisoned or tortured when they do than I don't see how the rest of you can say they're "feminists who aren't doing anything" or "where were they when Eminem dissed her?" If they have no power to be heard and can't do anything without a man's say so than how would you hear about what they're doing? The last news I heard from Saudi Arabia was about a man receiving 80 lashes for raping a woman while the woman was getting 90 lashes for being raped. (Tuesday 29 January 2019; 19:08)

Re: Vanishing (87,775) (87,777) by B from USA The Roof is one of my favorite songs and is considered one of Mariah's best. I hope you're able to finally understand the hype. (Tuesday 29 January 2019; 18:55)

Re: Rainbow / Glitter (87,766) (87,776) by B from USA Didn't Mariah record Heartbreaker for the Glitter soundtrack? (Tuesday 29 January 2019; 18:54)

Vanishing (87,775) by Licia from USA Ok so I've listened to Vanishing a few times in a row and it's still blah to me. Of course vocally it's stunning, but other than that I feel nothing. My next song to tackle is The Roof. I've only listened to the song twice since Butterfly was released. I've never gotten the hype. I actually never got the hype for the Butterfly album period, but there are a good amount of songs I enjoy. That's a discussion for another day though. Now on to The Roof. (Tuesday 29 January 2019; 15:48)

Re: This site lol (87,771) (87,774) by enwar00 from usa Guess what it's up to #3 this week. (Tuesday 29 January 2019; 14:59)

Mariah please don't do it (87,773) by MC1989 from Spain Don't contribute to wash one of the world's most terrible and cruel dictatorships. You were awarded with the GLAAD award two years ago. Just be consecuent. All that they want to do is to wash their image, the same as Israel - while they continue to kill thousands of victims in Palestina. You must be aware. You can't turn your head from what's happening. (Tuesday 29 January 2019; 13:57)
