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.

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)

Okay hooold up now (87,772) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines While performing in Saudi really is a bad look for Mariah and would imply that she's so strapped for cash that she would still perform there despite all that it would stand for and the backlash that would follow, have you tried seeing it from another angle? Like maybe the fact that Mariah has fans in that country? Are we just supposed to expect them to shrug and say, "oh well, that's what we get for living in a country with disagreeable beliefs and practices" and call it a day? I come from a country that has been under fire since 2016 for our president's support of extrajudicial killings in his mission to eradicate the deep-rooted drug problem that has always plagued our nation. We weather over 20 typhoons annually and there are always several in each year that are highly disastrous. We also have political unrest, even war in one of the major island groups of the Philippines. And yet it wasn't deemed inappropriate for Mariah and dozens of other artists to hold concerts in our country throughout those times. They weren't dinged for insensitivity. No one was up in a tizzy warning them not to go to visit us because times were hard or bashing them because they really went through with it. And we did not take offense to that. To us it's about understanding that whatever turmoil our nation goes through, the world still turns and we cannot let those affect how we deal with people from other countries. And I get that each country's situation is different but have we really become too politically correct? And while most news is normally skewed towards the negative, should the headline always read, "Mariah performs for a human-rights abusing country". Can't it be "Mariah performs for Saudi Arabian fans" or something? But maybe it's too naive for anyone to wish for that. Although we can't defend Mariah's actions and intentions for such decisions, is it fair to really go as far as suggesting (even sarcastically just to make a point) that she might as well visit other troubled countries too? Mariah's awareness or lack thereof has been a subject of criticism for years now, that that she continues to be seemingly oblivious to many world issues has no excuse. What appears to be a lack of sensitivity is one thing, and nothing can absolve her from that. But when we give people such a hard time for the decisions they make out of our disappointment, does that really make us any different from them? If we have the balls to criticize, then the least we could be is consistent and do the same for every single similar situation going around the world, even those that we cannot keep track of. Only then will it be fair. (Tuesday 29 January 2019; 13:37)

This site lol (87,771) by Bill from the UK All I ever read on this site these days is a bunch of you squabbling with each other followed by a daily check in of With You's agonisingly slow descent down the Adult R&B charts. God speed the A No No remix so we have something else to talk about on this godforsaken board lol. (Tuesday 29 January 2019; 11:48)

Re: Article: Mariah urged by activists to cancel Saudi Arabia concert (87,765) (87,770) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway Matthew, I agree with your respond. And for the people her bashing about nobody else not doing anything, I currently work as a community psychologist, so don't assume you know what people do or do not do here on this board. It will make no difference for the women in Saudi Arabia whether Mariah performs or not. But the symbolism in performing in that country, you can't deny. If Mariah goes through with this, she can just borrow the jacket Melnia wore, "I really don't care, do you?" Mariah, please, show us you're not completely unattached to this world. (Tuesday 29 January 2019; 11:28)

Re: Article: Mariah urged by activists to cancel Saudi Arabia concert (87,768) (87,769) by Dove from United States "Madge made porn or Cardi B performed at the AVN awards?" I'm pretty sure those things weren't forced on them. Feminism is about giving women a choice. (Tuesday 29 January 2019; 11:27)

Re: Article: Mariah urged by activists to cancel Saudi Arabia concert (87,765) (87,768) by Lee from USA Well, they were not fighting for her sake (nor any Black woman's). Ain't she a woman? What comedians? Check out YouTube. Bill Maher, Paul Mooney, and Dave Chappelle, for starters. Besides, where was their outrage when Madge made porn or Cardi B performed at the AVN awards? (Tuesday 29 January 2019; 11:00)

Re: Article: Mariah urged by activists to cancel Saudi Arabia concert (87,759) (87,767) by Reuben Walton from United States Which comedians? (Tuesday 29 January 2019; 05:37)

Rainbow / Glitter (87,766) by JDream from US Both these album have the same influence and sounds great in a 80s theme Mariah playlist. Jimmy Jam and Terry did most production and show Mariah as a producer more than on any other albums before this. Mariah's true emancipation. (Tuesday 29 January 2019; 03:42)

Article: Mariah urged by activists to cancel Saudi Arabia concert (87,765) by Matthew from USA Whilst Eminem was ripping Mimi, these feminists were presumably working for women's rights in Saudi Arabia. Performing in Saudi at this point, is like performing at a Trump rally, except without all the backlash because most Americans won't notice. It can be argued that the current prince of Saudi Arabia is even worse than Trump. I suppose while she is at it, she can make a pit stop in Russia and Yemen. Folks need a little glitter and festiveness in between the daily bombings. At least for those who can afford to attend the concerts. Sigh. I love me some Mimi, but either she is completely oblivious and goes wherever they book her or she just wants her bag and doesn't care. I can't really defend this. And if the media just so happens to pay attention - ugh. If it's not Stella tanking her, it's some other stupid decision. Come on girl, you are not this hard up for cash.

Re: This site (87,753) (87,764) by Dove from United States Mimi L you were one of my favorites. Andrew too, except when he was attacking Mariah or my opinions. (Tuesday 29 January 2019; 01:25)

Re: Saudi Arabia (87,703) and outrage culture (87,760) (87,763) by Dove from United States Hey, we don't know what people do or don't do in real life. (Tuesday 29 January 2019; 01:24)

Re: This site Mimi L (87,753) (87,762) by Licia from USA Ma'am did you get married yet ? (Tuesday 29 January 2019; 01:16)

Article: Mariah urged by activists to cancel Saudi Arabia concert (87,761) by John from USA Can these [...] establish exactly how preventing Mariah from performing in Saudi Arabia actually improve the lives and social status of women in that country? Are they actually doing anything concrete and tangible to uplift the lives of women in Saudi Arabia or is this all virtual grandstanding and bullying to feel like heroes? This world is full of holier than though [...] who have no inclination to actually get off their butts and do real life-changing work for their supposed cause, I swear. (Tuesday 29 January 2019; 01:03)

Re: Saudi Arabia (87,703) and outrage culture (87,760) by John from USA I think people are constantly looking for the next thing to get disgusted, outraged, and scandalized about every single day. This is virtual heroism at its finest. We get upset, we post our disgust, and go back to our comfortable lives and not even do anything to change the problems in the world we are oh so disgusted, so outraged, and so scandalized about. Instant gratification to people who have not really felt real hardships in struggles in life. Must feel really good to be doing so, so, so many good things. All online, all virtual, and all behind our computers, and all in the comfort of our First World lives. Heroes we are all - behind our computers, that is. Sigh. (Monday 28 January 2019; 23:51)

Article: Mariah urged by activists to cancel Saudi Arabia concert (87,759) by Lee from USA I want to know one thing. Where were the feminists when Eminem and those comedians were ripping Mimi? Not one of these women stood up or said sh@t. (Monday 28 January 2019; 23:04)

Re: With You (87,746) (87,758) by Hector from Mexico Great post. I Agree with you in everything. (Monday 28 January 2019; 22:27)

Re: Mariah's managers? 1990-2019 (87,736) (87,757) by Bill from the UK Randy Hoffman managed Mariah for years during the beginning of her career until she cleaned house of Tommy and his associates. (Monday 28 January 2019; 21:26)

Re: With You (87,752) (87,756) by Bill from the UK So anyway, back to Mariah. (Monday 28 January 2019; 20:19)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey to perform in Saudi on Thursday (87,742) (87,755) by Special K from USA Really? Now that is an extra hell to the " no, no". (Monday 28 January 2019; 20:06)

Re: Don't Forget About Us (87,743) (87,754) by Bobby A from United States With You just didn't seem like a DYFU ballad for me. If so, why didn't Pop radio play it back in October? (Monday 28 January 2019; 19:46)

Re: This site (87,750) (87,753) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter She left and checked into a rehab like she should have and got kicked out of UKMix. Girl had it coming using multiple accounts to have a conversation with herself. Anyways hi boo, MimiL is still here, love it or hate it haha. (Monday 28 January 2019; 19:30)
