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. (Sunday 18 February 2018; 13:41)

Re: Stripped versions of Mariah's gems (81,004) (81,010) by MusicfanJ from Germany Oh how could I forget Petals and Close My Eyes. Since it is online, I listen almost every day to the Close My Eyes version. It's so relaxing and dreamy. If there's an official cd, I would immediately buy it. One cd with stripped versions, and the other with live songs and never released songs. One can only dream, I know. (Sunday 18 February 2018; 11:17)

Always Be My Baby plus other classics? (81,009) by CDC from CA It really looks like ABMB has entered the upper tier of bullet proof Mariah classics. It's gotten so much love in the last decade. What are the songs that worldwide consensus has determined are Mariah's classics? The songs that anyone in the world would recognize as a classic that extends beyond Mariah's fanbase and holds up to the catalogue of any other artist? All I Want for Christmas Is You, Hero and Without You are default classics and in my experience of attending Mariah Carey concerts the two songs (besides Hero) that always excites the most crowd participation are ABMB and I'll Be There (which I've always enjoyed hearing everyone sing the original MTV Unplugged inflections over Mariah's live ad-libbing). Here is my list of Mariah's most recognized songs in relative order based on humble biased subjective opinion, charts and YouTube anecdotal evidence (TV show covers): All I Want for Christmas Is You Hero Without You Always Be My Baby We Belong Together I'll Be There Fantasy Emotions Vision of Love My All Heartbreaker (Sunday 18 February 2018; 05:30)

Re: Reuben Walton (80,994) (81,008) by B from USA I was just asking. No need to apologize. I think our fellow board members would be better able to reply to you if you copied and pasted the message you are commenting on if it isn't recent. Just a suggestion. Nice to meet you. (Sunday 18 February 2018; 04:05)

Welcome Reuben (81,007) by Haiji Toro from USA What are your favorite songs from each of MC's albums? Try to pick only one from each. (Sunday 18 February 2018; 01:56)

Our minds work differently (81,006) by Haiji Toro from USA Hello all. I just wanna state a couple things, feel free to skip if uninterested. Please people, let's not indulge in bullying out of fun. We all do things differently. What I can imagine is a lonely person, with a lot of time in their hands. Some of us travel, others listen to music, some read. Maybe MCArchives is his book? Maybe this site is the only family he can speak to about his feelings? Yes, I agree, why not just read them all and then post about them all in one or a couple posts? That would probably save the Webmaster some time with job, I'm just saying. Don't get me wrong, I'm all down for fun and jokes and sarcasm (I truly have love for you, Andrew, you are the truth, a little less negative feeling with it, I promise, they will get it one day). (Sunday 18 February 2018; 01:44)

Re: Stripped versions of Mariah's gems (81,002) (81,005) by Licia from USA Those stripped versions and acapella mixes are giving me like. I've never been a big fan of Outside or Looking In, but the stripped versions made me start enjoying them. They are also making me play songs that I haven't really listened to in a while like UTS. If I had to pick a favorite, ABMB (the stalker love song lol) is it. (Saturday 17 February 2018; 22:54)

Re: Stripped versions of Mariah's gems (81,002) (81,004) by Will from England Mine's a cross of Petals, UTS, Close My Eyes and ISB. Honestly they're so good. (Saturday 17 February 2018; 22:38)
