Re: Ariana (87,126) (87,140) by B from USA Giving Me Life sounds like nothing else Mariah has ever recorded. (Wednesday 19 December 2018; 14:55)

Re: Jaker20 (87,138) (87,139) by Lee from USA But she won 3 Grammys without him. If he is so successful, why is he bitching and moaning? Why was he on "Nail Files"? Where is his half-billion fortune? He should be worth billions. Walter's Grammys 1999: Grammy Award in the Record of the Year category for producing "My Heart Will Go On" by Celine Dion 2000: Grammy Award in the Producer of the Year, Non-Classical category (Wednesday 19 December 2018; 14:47)

Re: Jaker20 (87,136) (87,138) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands "Walter is trying to get attention more than anything because no one is knocking on his door to work with him." Really? After he and Mariah split, he worked with Barbra Streisand, Celine Dion, Luciano Pavarotti, Kenny G, Ricky Martin, Daryl Hall, Lara Fabian, Tina Arena, Josh Groban, Lionel Richie, Jessica Simpson, Destiny's Child, Michael Bolton, Babyface, Santana, Earth Wind & Fire, Gladys Knight, Leona Lewis, Brian McKnight, Jordin Sparks, Idina Menzel, and many, many others. I would say he is extremely successful. (Wednesday 19 December 2018; 14:35)

Re: Glennis Grace sings Miss You Most beautifully (87,134) (87,137) by Hanno van Leeuwen from The Netherlands She is famous here in the Netherlands for her Whitney cover act but the ordinary people here doesn't like her because she's got attitude and difficult to work with. Her voice is good but I don't like her and I don't like her screaming at the end of almost every song she sings. (Wednesday 19 December 2018; 14:19)

Jaker20 (87,136) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Walter A is full of shit. He is angry that since the Butterfly era MC has paid him dust. Yes they made some great memories and music together. But he is trying to get attention more than anything because no one is knocking on his door to work with him. He went from being associate/assistant and musician to MC's right hand man and how did that come into play because MC put the word in Tommy's ear about how they clicked and how she liked working with him. So Walter needs to stop with the dramatics and move on. It's been two decades since they have worked on anything else and he is just mad that he just like some others that he is no longer part of MC's success. After many of the fans read this interview I hope that they now understand that MC and Walter will never work together again, and respect MC's wishes for not wanting to work with him. He only reason to do this interview is get attention and press and make MC look bad because she is still the press conference while he's just a mere conversation. (Wednesday 19 December 2018; 13:47)

Mariah should do this (87,135) by ksquarred from paris And perform Loving You by Minnie Riperton for example, and then finish a song from the new album. Everyone is always accusing her of always lip-synching (which is partly true), doing something like this would shut down people who say she can't sing anymore. (Wednesday 19 December 2018; 12:57)

Re: Glennis Grace sings Miss You Most beautifully (87,132) (87,134) by Dove from United States That is a beautiful cover. I like it because she doesn't sound like Mariah but it still sounds good and she isn't straining to hit the notes. Jojo's cover is good too. I just watched a bunch of live performances by Glennis and you're right, she's amazing. I can't believe I've never heard of her before. I could hear hints of lots of icons in her voice: Whitney, Tina Turner, Selena. Color me impressed. How is she not super famous? (Wednesday 19 December 2018; 12:15)

Re: Article: All I Want is highest-charting holiday hit in 60 years (87,129) (87,133) by Dove from United States Yes. Amen. (Wednesday 19 December 2018; 12:05)

Glennis Grace sings Miss You Most beautifully (87,132) by Sheila from United States She has two videos singing live and its beautifully. Why is this girl not an icon already? (Wednesday 19 December 2018; 11:44)

Mariah-approved (87,131) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Just gonna leave this Mariah-approved cover of Miss You Most (At Christmas Time) right here. By the way, I heard she has new music coming up. (Wednesday 19 December 2018; 11:20)

Regarding my last message (87,130) by Dove from United States I was thinking about what I wrote and it's kinda mean. I'm not that person. If Ariana inspires young people like Mariah inspired me then good for her and her fans. She's not my cup of tea but people obviously love her so I take back my negativity and wish her prosperity and success. (Wednesday 19 December 2018; 10:59)

Article: All I Want is highest-charting holiday hit in 60 years (87,129) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines This has a really good chance of breaking into the top 5 next week. With our collective hopes, let such words materialize. (Wednesday 19 December 2018; 10:41)

Re: Ariana (87,120) (87,128) by Dove from United States I thought about it and it's not insecurity. I was sharing an observation but honestly I don't think about Ariana that much. Usually only when she's trying to be Mariah. I honestly don't believe Ariana will have longevity because to me she's not that special. I think she has been successful so far because of her looks and because she was likeable on Nickoledeon. I don't even think Ariana is as good a singer as Aaliyah or Brandy or even Christina (who I'm not even a fan of) - much less Mariah. I'm not saying this because I'm a "hater" because there are other (some younger) artists who I do like - I like Loren Allred, Chevele (the country singer who just won The Voice), Tori Kelly, Rihanna, Taylor Swift, Alessia Cara, Lauren Daigle, Adele, Kelly Clarkson. Just off the top of my head. I even think Victoria Justice could be a better star than Ariana (with the right songs) because she seems more mature and she's a better actress not to mention she's beautiful. I know that someday someone may come along who will have more success than Mariah. It would be nice if it were someone who was actually better than Mariah (in terms of singing, writing, videos, star power, intelligence, etc.) not just a random girl with a decent voice and a nice tan. That's all I have to say about that. (Wednesday 19 December 2018; 09:54)

Re: Jaker20 (87,121), Tori Kelly (87,127) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines The problem with Tori Kelly, as talented as she is, is that her material is just weak. She hasn't found her sound yet, which is critical because her voice is pretty indistinguishable. In a way, she's like Katherine McPhee - talented, but just isn't remarkable enough to stand out. But unlike Katherine, she still has a better chance of making it big. She should just need the perfect storm of strong material, an unmistakable sound, a great team behind her to succeed.

Re: Ariana (87,122) (87,126) by TJ from Norway A new sound? I like Caution, but I don't hear a new sound. (Wednesday 19 December 2018; 07:28)

Mariah Carey starts singalong (87,125) by B from USA Love that she showed Subtle Invitation some love. (Wednesday 19 December 2018; 07:15)

Re: Jaker20 (87,121) (87,124) by jaker20 from US I didn't say she has to acknowledge her. I'm saying she should act gracefully when an new artist acknowledge her as influence. She is always shady. And to be frank, if I am on her place, I will completely, completely embrace Ariana. No question about it. Because if I am at that level I would not still be insecure. I mean look at your post, it reeks of insecurity because I didn't even mention Arian being as talented or as successful. Far from it, in fact, she can't and won't be able to touch Mariah's success. Even more reason why you're all so triggered by her. Insecurity is becoming Mariah's look, just read Walter Afanasieff's latest interview who is also bad mouthing her for the same reason. Mariah should focus on supporting new artists, that is good for her growth. Look at Kelly Clarkson who is inspiring new talents. (Wednesday 19 December 2018; 06:28)

Re: Legend forever (87,064) (87,123) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter B, sending you a lot of love and prayers. (Wednesday 19 December 2018; 05:58)

Re: Ariana (87,120) (87,122) by B from USA Mariah upped her game on Caution by working with new cowriters and producers. It's her best album in years. I hope she continues to expiriment with her sound on future albums. (Wednesday 19 December 2018; 00:33)

Jaker20 (87,121) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Mariah can acknowledge who she wants and she does not owe anyone anything. Mariah is finally accepting her status and honestly how would you feel if someone or others were trying to create someone off of your legacy and trying to make it a competition were there is none? Scooter Brun started this and now that the results have been of modest success to say the least it egg all over their face. Again four albums later she can not get any multi big selling albums and #1 song based off of sympathy is not doing anything to help cement Ariana as a legend. She is an average pop star. She is nowhere in league of Taylor and Adele as far as sells and talent wise Tori Kelly is superior in my humble opinion but her team has not found a clever way to market her. Honestly what works for Ariana is that she still looks like a pre teen and her music appeals more to the younger demographic as well. (Wednesday 19 December 2018; 00:15)

Re: Ariana (87,082) (87,120) by jaker20 from US You all need to take a deep breathe and not show your insecurities. All artists are influenced by someone either known or unknown and Mariah and lambs should acknowledge it as such. Ariana is heavily influenced by Mariah. Mariah is already at an age where she should be securing her legacy and one good way of doing that is supporting newer and younger talents. Who knows maybe Ariana will become more successful someday. Lambs should be comfortable with that because Mariah is a legend in her own way. If Mariah wants to be back at the top of the charts, she should simply up her game and evolve. Look at Lady Gaga. But Mariah doesn't need to because she's already a legend. Being insecure is not a cute look. By the way Caution is her best creative effort since TEOM. (Tuesday 18 December 2018; 21:01)
