Re: Mariah Carey: Just Be Good To Me (from Japan) (81,026) (81,051) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Makes me smile every time. It is a track that needs to be played at a certain volume. Can't be too quiet. (Wednesday 21 February 2018; 00:41)

Re: Reuben just has a lot of feeling (80,942) (81,050) by Reuben Walton from United States "Reuben just wishes we could all get along like we used to in middle school." What the hell does that mean? Is that a quote from somewhere? (Tuesday 20 February 2018; 23:44)

Re: Memoirs, Rainbow and MIAMTEC (80,949) (81,049) by Reuben Walton from United States "In the last 24 hours, Reuben read 18,000 messages. This must be a world record. If he has slept 8 hours, then he read 19 messages per minute. And don't forget he replied to 15 of them. I think I myself would go crazy reading so many messages in such a short time." Just Andrew's. Not the whole message board. Get a grip. Also it's a hassle the way this board is displayed on mobile, where each message has its own unique page and URL. (Tuesday 20 February 2018; 23:38)

Re: Memoirs, Rainbow and MIAMTEC (80,955) (81,048) by Reuben Walton from United States "I can hardly wait for the moment when he discovers Stella is gone. " I knew Stella was gone. It was just Andrew's post history. That's it. (Tuesday 20 February 2018; 23:31)

Re: Memoirs, Rainbow and MIAMTEC (80,975) (81,047) by Reuben Walton from United States "Holy Charmbracelet, you're not supposed to be giving hints to Reuben. You're life ruiner, you ruine people's lives." I think that's a little mean, but to each their own. But a lot of comedic intent doesn't come across in text so it's not that big of a deal.

Re: Memoirs, Rainbow and MIAMTEC (80,969) (81,046) by Reuben Walton from United States "Yes, I agree when he discovers Stella is gone, oh my, oh my. Speaking of that, her Instagram is still not updated." Bitch please I knew that Stella was gone. I just like Andrew's prose and ideas and the engaging way that he writes with humor and makes sharp points. It was just his message history, not the entire message history of the board. When you click on someone's picture on here you can see their whole message history. I like how he's vocal about the ghetto aspects of Mariah and the different social/identity issues around it. That was even something I said once to my friend in like 2005-2006 "I hate how MC is always trying to be somewhat ghetto", which I've since learned to love. I love "4Real4Real" and "Heat". And I like when people talk about the different eras and the different gossipy things that may or may not have been happening behind the scenes. I was always a fan despite making that comment about her being "ghetto/gangsta", but I really became an active full-on lamb in 2009-2010. Her way with melodies and ballads move me in a lot of ways. I like that she does poignant songs and uptempos with cocky elements. And just plain feel good songs like YDKWTD. I am between vehicles right now and also working on my own music which can be found at reubenwalton.bandcamp.com. I am also waiting to get my septoplasty surgery on March 1st to correct my deviated septum. I was living in Los Angeles from September through November but came back East to MA for a bunch of reasons. You need a car in LA being chief among them. I don't think I'm much lonelier than other people but I do feel that emotion. I would like to move back to LA eventually. (Tuesday 20 February 2018; 23:20)

Re: Mariah Carey: Just Be Good To Me (from Japan) (81,032) (81,045) by Bill from the UK There's always been that rumour that she had surgery on her nodules in the mid 90s post-Daydream tour and what we have now is the result of that. I really do think it's a possibility. If it's true she should have addressed it at the time rather than hide behind the smoke and mirrors. If it's not true the vocal decline was all self inflicted which is even sadder. (Tuesday 20 February 2018; 23:16)

Sade original song for Wrinkle in Time (81,042) by RibbonB from USA Ooh I am so excited and happy to know that Sade, the really elusive chanteuse, is coming through with new music next month. This is a real feather in Ava Duvernay's cap. I was excited about this movie before, but Sade takes it over the top. The song is entitled Flower of the Universe. I hope it is fantastic.

Re: Our minds work differently (81,013) (81,041) by Reuben Walton from United States I was gonna even try to play along by saying "Oh, that's okay..." since that's what Lindsay's Lohan's character says after Regina George and the girls invite her to lunch, but it's such a small line that the joke might not translate. And I think the irony of the "Migrate should've been a single" thing is because people have been saying that since like late 2008-early 2009. I think it's being used as an example of what a clueless new poster is supposed to say. (Tuesday 20 February 2018; 21:43)

Re: Where did she go? (81,021) (81,040) by Reuben Walton from United States How does one empower a highlighter? (Tuesday 20 February 2018; 21:21)

Re: Reubward (81,023) (81,039) by Reuben Walton from United States My left or the viewer’s left? (Tuesday 20 February 2018; 21:21)

Re: Always Be My Baby plus other classics? (81,024) (81,038) by Reuben Walton from United States I especially love that brief moment right towards the end when she starts the "you and I will always be" adlib, and it sounds like the bass and some other instruments drop out and I really feel the purity and epicness of the emotion for that part. It's one of those moments I wish were longer. (Tuesday 20 February 2018; 20:49)

Re: Mariah Carey: Just Be Good To Me (from Japan) (81,032) (81,037) by Lara from Middle East Exactly Edward, you can feel she's relaxed in her performance and in control and doesn't have to worry about the next note. You mentioned that maybe a surgery that went wrong around 97, I guess her breath support got damaged when she got the implants. We'll keep on guessing until Trey put out his memoirs. (Tuesday 20 February 2018; 19:48)

Re: Mariah Carey: Just Be Good To Me (from Japan) (81,026) (81,036) by MusicfanJ from Germany I totally agree. This performance is everthing. Love it. It's true she seemed so careless and confident at the same time. It's a great song. And Mariah looks so cool with the hat, the sunglasses and the baggy. Just stunning. This is what I call star power. She never needed to dance like a dancer, her two steps are perfect. (Tuesday 20 February 2018; 19:22)

Re: Our minds work differently (81,030) (81,035) by Andrew from UK I think I've posted 2 things about gay people that are relevant: 1) the suggestion that Mariah should avoid performing in a country where the mainstream culture advocates and frequently enacts violence towards gay people (such as Jamaica - maybe she should take her GLAAD award on stage and make a speech there about tolerance?) and 2) highlighting the hypocrisy of people who scream about bigotry and don't seem to pass their own liberal tests when their rules are applied to their own posts (as in quoting Sheila). I hardly think anybody would call me a Social Justice Warrior. But if you want a press release, I think gays have it the worst around the world. They have full equal rights in the UK but in most other countries they do not and are treated appalingly. Even by other minority groups who protest under a banner of victimhood and mistreatment and proceed to then victimise and mistreat others. So "Gay Lives Matter" would be a cause I think Mariah should start. She'd earn her GLAAD award at least. (Tuesday 20 February 2018; 18:45)

Re: Mariah Carey: Just Be Good To Me (from Japan) (81,031) (81,034) by RibbonB from USA You poor rhythm challenged baby. (Tuesday 20 February 2018; 17:22)

Re: Our minds work differently (81,028) (81,033) by tadatorao from japan Got you all fired up? I was like, why's he so obsessed with me. (Tuesday 20 February 2018; 17:12)

Re: Mariah Carey: Just Be Good To Me (from Japan) (81,026) (81,032) by Edward from USA Mariah looks so happy, careless, and into the performance. She's relying completely on an instrument that is responsive so she's relaxed and in control. Her voice was epic even singing a song that's not considered difficult or straining. She doesn't look worried about the next note or anything, those were the days. I'm starting to believe Mariah might've gone through some surgical procedure in the 90's that didn't go quite right. (Tuesday 20 February 2018; 16:56)

Re: Mariah Carey: Just Be Good To Me (from Japan) (81,029) (81,031) by Licia from USA She was getting it and she was doing it better than I ever could. Jesus shaded me when it came to giving me rhythm. I think he gave the little bit I was supposed to have to Mariah. Lol. (Tuesday 20 February 2018; 16:55)

Re: Our minds work differently (81,028) (81,030) by 123 from USA Yeah but say something about the gays and your all over it with your social justice sword. (Tuesday 20 February 2018; 16:44)

Re: Mariah Carey: Just Be Good To Me (from Japan) (81,026) (81,029) by RibbonB from USA Yes this is MC at her best. She really tried it dancing like that. Did I see her popping her fingers? (Tuesday 20 February 2018; 16:43)

Re: Our minds work differently (81,025) (81,028) by Andrew from UK Quod erat demonstrandum? Hah. Lookup "irony" next? Or even "banter". So the next time Mariah does a mocking British RP or Cockney accent should she be castigated for racial discrimination if discrimination is simply making a distinction now rather than treating less favourably, and seemingly not mattering if the distinction was intended to be funny or dry-humoured? Go water your high horse before it wakes up GG. Sometimes I don't know how some people get out of bed in the morning, let alone make it through the day. Your world must be so bland. I made a joke to Reuben about it being quiet up on Walton Mountain and he apparently saw the humour in it. But Social Justice requires you to tell him to be offended and try to force apologies from people. You won't get one from me. Go back to bed. It's safer there. (Tuesday 20 February 2018; 16:17)

Re: Mariah Carey: Just Be Good To Me (from Japan) (81,026) (81,027) by Anonymous from Girl, me too. Love this performance, I was blasting it out of my car today. I've put in my bio how much I love this song. In my opinion it's one of her best, should've been a single. (Tuesday 20 February 2018; 15:56)
