Re: New interview: Anthony Burrell on Mariah (85,636) (85,652) by RibbonB from USA I think they sneaked and put Dolo down. They said he was out of control years ago. We don't even hear about Jackson P. Mutley anymore. (Monday 5 November 2018; 23:55)

Re: Always Be My Baby/Slipping Away CD (85,644) (85,651) by enwar00 from usa That's so awesome Billy. I was just thinking about it this weekend and I want that song on CD. The last time I looked it was way more than $6. I have the single on cassette in a box somewhere in my mom's garage, but I haven't had a cassette player since I don't even know when. Maybe I'll be a hipster and buy one. (Monday 5 November 2018; 23:16)

Bipolar and vocal issues (85,650) by Lexingz from Estonia Vocal issues can come from anything. Bad health, no sleep, drinking, emotional exhaustion, broken heart, fear, all kinds of bad emotions, stage fright, hormonal issues are a biggie (I have heard of her having thyroid problems which can ruin your voice bigtime), bad vocal technique, overusing your voice. Yes you can put bipolar on the list. I think her voice has been affected by everything in her life - even one of those things on the list can change your voice completely. Mariah's life has been a mess since she was born. It's a miracle she is as successful as she is, and also her longevity is incredible. Let's just give it a rest and let her deal with it. That being said, I am sticking with my opinion that she has been sounding the best she has in a long time in Asia, and that makes me very happy. And if that annoys anyone, I am sorry (not).

Re: Mariah's voice returning (85,645) (85,649) by Lexingz from Estonia In one video she was pitched. To be honest, her singing was always somewhat strained from the beginning. it's just that now it has taken it's toll on the instrument. I had not listened to her CDs for a year some time ago and I popped in some early nineties recordings and my throat closed up because of the strain in her voice. (Monday 5 November 2018; 22:09)

Re: No No (85,637) (85,648) by Bill from the UK Oh you don't like a Mariah song? Never thought I'd see the day hehe. (Monday 5 November 2018; 21:04)

Re: Biannual appreciation post for Triumphant (85,638) (85,647) by Bill from the UK Part of me wishes Triumphant and Almost Home had joined TAOLG on the Deluxe version of MIAM instead of those stupid Memoirs cut and paste lazy "duets". What a waste of disc space. (Monday 5 November 2018; 21:03)

Re: Always Be My Baby/Slipping Away CD (85,644) (85,646) by Bill from the UK Haha, enjoy. Great CD and great song. Slipping Away is such a gem. (Monday 5 November 2018; 20:56)

Re: Mariah's voice returning (85,618) (85,645) by 90sMariah from SG I've watched videos of Mariah's shows in Manila and Tokyo and I was genuinely wondering if the pitch in the videos were altered because she sounded like a squeaky, high-pitched mess. But I don't think they were. It seems like her voice is stuck in that single pitch and tone. She no longer has the airy, agile and breathy medium/lows. At least in 97-2005 she still had it. It's kind of hard to listen to/watch now, tbh. (Monday 5 November 2018; 19:45)

Always Be My Baby/Slipping Away CD (85,644) by Billy from Greece I have finally obtained the ABMB cd-single that contains SA for 6 dollars (which was a bargain to say the least) and I'm beyond elated so I had to share it. (Monday 5 November 2018; 19:31)

Re: Mariah's voice returning (85,624) (85,643) by Andrew from UK Calling Mariah a dead horse? Lol why don't you move into reality, you delusional snowflake, you. (Monday 5 November 2018; 18:52)

Re: New interview: Anthony Burrell on Mariah: meds (85,632) (85,642) by May from Denmark I believe Mariah was either having issues with the type of meds she was getting or she wasn't taking them at all. She was also drinking a fair amount. It would explain her behavior with Packer, looking clueless at time, disoriented and anxious. It might explain that advertisement clip of Mariah's World where she looks exhausted and cries, she looked very down at times and might have had some episode, Mariah crying and the whole exhaustion segment was cut from the show and they didn't air it. I believe Stella didn't know how to handle her, or was taking advantage of her, she went on a huge spending vacation and all included Stella and her clan. Remember when she sang Honey on tv and she hardly could move after coming down the helicopter, she was energiless and even seemed like not being there. I have a fair amount of friends bipolar type I and II and the meds and moods affect immensely and all of them react in different ways. I think that other than the Glitter era, Stella made Mariah's circumstances too obvious by exposing her too much. Maybe that has always been the reason why Mariah private and personal life was always so hidden or controlled when it came to the way she was presented to the public and her interviews.

Re: New interview: Anthony Burrell on Mariah (85,619) (85,641) by B from USA He's a mess. (Monday 5 November 2018; 17:46)

Caution (85,640) by B from USA Caution will debut in the Top 3. I don't think Mariah and her team are aiming for a big first week though. I think her new team is aiming to keep this album on the charts for longer than the two months MIAM spent on the charts before disappearing. With You is climbing the R&B charts and Adult Contemporary charts. It's at #17 on the Adult Contemporary chart, #16 on the Adult R&B Songs chart, and #16 on the Hot R&B Songs chart. (Monday 5 November 2018; 17:29)

A No No is #1 on Amazon Soul Bestseller Chart (85,639) by The Real Deal from USA "A No No" is #1 on Amazon's Soul Bestseller Chart. At #2 is "With You". #5 is "The Distance". #7 is "GTFO". (Monday 5 November 2018; 17:26)

Biannual appreciation post for Triumphant (85,638) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter This is my 50th post (slightly exaggerated) to show my love and appreciation for Triumphant. Every time I go back and listen to that song, I love it and get chills. Triumphant remains one of Mariah's best songs, y'all can fight me over this. Honest to Lord if this isn't the modern hip hop thug life version of "Hero", I don't know what is (controversial line right there, I know). But seriously though this song is amazing. I know it flopped because it was a "lead turned buzz single" of a Mariah album after a long time and featured Mariah as only a hook/chorus girl, but it's still an amazing song. Ok, thank you for reading, if you don't agree, scroll away. (Monday 5 November 2018; 16:29)

Re: No No (85,625) (85,637) by Licia from USA There's a mash up of Lil Kim's part of the Crush On You remix with No No. Now that's a remix I need in my life. Somebody get Lil Kim on the line please. This might make me like the song a little more. (Monday 5 November 2018; 16:20)

Re: New interview: Anthony Burrell on Mariah (85,634) (85,636) by Licia from USA All of them would get the business. (Monday 5 November 2018; 16:11)

Re: New interview: Anthony Burrell on Mariah (85,631) (85,635) by RibbonB from USA She definitely has money issues even if in her own mind. But she has lots of scrubs and snakes still in her midst, willing to stay in motion so they can get their cut. I agree with you regarding Anthony just offering another excuse for her behavior in NYE. She actuality had a look of fear and dread in her eyes that night. (Monday 5 November 2018; 15:51)

Re: New interview: Anthony Burrell on Mariah (85,626) (85,634) by RibbonB from USA Not Cha Cha? What about Dolomite? (Monday 5 November 2018; 12:20)

Re: New interview: Anthony Burrell on Mariah (85,628) (85,633) by Licia from USA If you really think about it he just gave another excuse that can be used as to why she was sounding bad during that time. For people who don't really understand the effects of being bipolar this will be a reasonable explanation for her vocal issues. (Monday 5 November 2018; 11:46)

Re: New interview: Anthony Burrell on Mariah: Meds (85,632) by Sheila from United States The meds can have an effect on her vocals, energy. This interview was a downer. Anthony sounds hurt that Mariah/Stella disgarded him after New Years Eve and they made him the fall guy. He called them vultures. (Monday 5 November 2018; 11:41)

Re: New interview: Anthony Burrell on Mariah (85,623) (85,631) by Licia from USA In the words of the almighty Cardi B "All I really wanna see is the money." That's why she's touring so much. Lol. I actually understand it too. Although I don't think she has money issues, she has a lifestyle that she's grown accustomed to and in order to keep that lifestyle she's got to keep the money flowing somehow. Record sales don't help like they used to. At least she's not promoting dating sites and doggie daycares. I'd rather her tour. (Monday 5 November 2018; 11:41)

Don't forget about The Greatest Showman (85,630) by Malcolm from Asia It's in fact Mariah vs. Michael vs. that movie's soundtrack. There's no doubt that the soundtrack will top the BB200, their music is so big and may become even bigger with this new release featuring Pink, Kelly Clarkson, and other musicians that is huge right now. But who knows, maybe Mariah's management have something up on their sleeves that will put Caution at #1. However, I will not get mad if Caution will not top the charts, I mean this era is a great era than her last 2 albums already, I will just be happy for her. (Monday 5 November 2018; 07:06)

Caution album (85,629) by Bobby A from United States And Lambs were worried that Caution was going to be another Liberation flop. Lol. I think not. I don't think we have anything to worry about. I am predicting another huge surprise is coming this week that is going to solidify those first week album sales and beat Buble's Love. Buble is the one who should be worried not MC. I am still hoping for a Target Exclusive. Target knows something but they ain't spilling the tea. I tweeted them last week and their response was to check back for updates. Really. Makes a lot of sense for a Target Exclusive for Christmas CD sales. TS had Reputation and that huge display last November in all Target stores. (Monday 5 November 2018; 06:01)

Re: New interview: Anthony Burrell on Mariah (85,619) (85,628) by Matini from United States I'm not understanding how bipolar disorder has anything to do with MC's vocals. I have bipolar disorder and if anything, it only has an effect on my mood, thoughts and energy. I also meant to add that I think that MC's vocal change has to do with her nodules, not bipolar disorder. I am very proud of her because she's working through both. She looks happy and sounds amazing. (Monday 5 November 2018; 05:34)
