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.

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)

Mariah Carey: Just Be Good To Me (from Japan) (81,026) by Licia from USA I was watching this performance and I was so taken aback at how wonderful it is. I've seen her perform this song before on another one of her tours (not sure which one, it could possibly be from the same tour, but a different location), but I wasn't as impressed with the other performance as I am with this one. Everything I need in a performance was there. I already love this song, but this performance really brought the song and Mariah to life in my eyes. I was doing the little "I can't really dance, but I'm going to try anyway" two step with Mariah. (Tuesday 20 February 2018; 13:53)

Re: Our minds work differently (81,022) (81,025) by tadatorao from japan Wow first bullying now race discrimination. No wonder Mariah has so much inspiration to write message songs for her lambs. (Tuesday 20 February 2018; 11:58)

Re: Always Be My Baby plus other classics? (81,009) (81,024) by Andrew from UK ABMB was a shockingly brilliant popsong. And it had such a brilliant free-spirit-of-youth video. But it's so overdone I couldn't bear to hear it again. (Tuesday 20 February 2018; 07:56)

Reubward (81,023) by Andrew from UK If Reuben turned his head slightly to the left and made his background blue, I'm pretty sure he would be Edward's avatar. Suggest they are the same person. (Tuesday 20 February 2018; 07:51)

Re: Our minds work differently (81,017) (81,022) by Andrew from UK I can well understand why someone from Japan would have to Google a definition for humour. Lighten up, you uber-PC snowflake. (Tuesday 20 February 2018; 07:48)

Re: Where did she go? (80,974) (81,021) by 123 from USA Mimi L is probably still celebrating that she no longer has to empower her highlighter. (Tuesday 20 February 2018; 02:29)

Re: Our minds work differently (81,013) (81,020) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada I think the board needs more humor and Lee can all lighten up a bit and enjoy ourselves. By the same token, although he's not a new member, clearly joining in on discussions and posting messages wasn't routine. Maybe some of the humor got misconstrued for some. I hope it never gets to the point here where we can't be silly and have some laughs, because that would suck. Lol. (Monday 19 February 2018; 16:23)

Re: Stripped versions of Mariah's gems (81,014) (81,019) by MusicfanJ from Germany Hi Mike, I don't know if they're official. They sound official, but I can imagine they were put together from acapella versions and other official versions. I wonder as well if they're "only" fan-made or official? Either way I won't miss them anymore. (Monday 19 February 2018; 11:02)

Re: Our minds work differently (81,006) (81,013) (81,018) by Haiji Toro from USA I appreciate your message, Edward. I get what you mean. I honestly didn't read the other messages, for I'm sure I would have gotten the "Mean Girls" jokes, so my apologies for being easily triggered. I think it was mainly due to me automatically putting myself in his place and remembering that feeling of being the butt of jokes to other. I do enjoy your humor when I do get to read your posts, so please don't get me wrong. Like I've stated before, I do appreciate good jokes and silly sarcasm. Please don't stop being who you are nor change for anyone. You're definitely one of very few that put a smile on my face with your posts. (Monday 19 February 2018; 09:42)

Re: Our minds work differently (81,013) (81,017) by tadatorao from japan Let's see how google define bullying: use superior strength (knowledge of this message board) or influence (familiarization with other members) to intimidate someone (newcomer), typically to force them to do something (answering random questions). Let's see how google define joking: talk humorously (nil). (Monday 19 February 2018; 04:29)

Re: Our minds work differently (81,013) (81,016) by Stacey from USA I think you stole the "ain't that deep" line from me, lol. I've used that line more times than I can count. (Monday 19 February 2018; 03:26)

Re: Stripped versions of Mariah's gems (81,002) (81,015) by Mike from Usa I really like "I still believe". (Sunday 18 February 2018; 19:48)

Re: Stripped versions of Mariah's gems (81,005) (81,014) by Mike from Usa These versions are all very good. Are these official remixes? (Sunday 18 February 2018; 19:47)

Re: Our minds work differently (81,006) (81,013) by Edward from USA Reuben is not new to the messageboard. I don't support nor condone bullying or bigotry, but we shouldn't be that sensitive in light of lighthearted jokes. I don't know if you noticed, but some of the messages I posted towards Reuben are lines picked up from Mariah's favorite movie "Mean Girls". Some people shouldn't be so touchy or we're going to have to walk on eggshells here. The messageboard tend to be sometimes boring and repetitive or sometimes the mood is kind of dark. Let's joke a little, let's be silly a little, let's not take shit so seriously. It ain't that deep. I might not agree with some posts in here, but I do appreciate everybody here. I don't want to be part of anything where everybody thinks like me. It would be boring as hell. And I know this is going to come across as bullying, forgive me, but "Migrate" should've been a single.

Re: Article: Michelle Obama's Valentine's Day playlist (80,995) (81,012) by 123 from USA Yes Mara, the bridge is everything. The prettiest whispers on that song. Speaking of wedding songs I loved yours. Endless Love. (Sunday 18 February 2018; 13:45)

Welcome Reuben (81,011) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Welcome to the message board. I hope you enjoy it here. I did chuckle at Edward’s humor, but it had nothing to do with wanting to single anyone out. Some of us have been here on the site since 1822 so it is easy for us to make jokes. Enjoy yourself.
