Re: "I Still Believe (Stevie J. Remix)" (83,331) (83,332) by Bill from the UK I Still Believe has some great remixes. I think the fact the Pure Imagination remix is so brilliant, often means the Stevie J and Morales mixes get overlooked. I’m going to go dig this one out now. (Wednesday 8 August 2018; 19:05)

Re: "I Still Believe (Stevie J. Remix)" (83,329) (83,331) by enwar00 from usa Billy I love that remix. It's different, kinda dark. To be honest when I first got those remixes I hated that one. But it grew on me. I think the I Still Believe maxi single is my favorite one. Lots of variety in the mixes, and I love every one of them. (Wednesday 8 August 2018; 16:37)

Re: "I Still Believe (Stevie J. Remix)" (83,329) (83,330) by Licia from USA Is this the remix with Mocha and Amil rapping on it? If so I never could get into that mix. I may have to revisit it since it's been years since I've heard it. I might have played it once or twice back then. (Wednesday 8 August 2018; 15:55)

"I Still Believe (Stevie J. Remix)" (83,329) by Billy from Greece This has to be the most forgotten remix by MC, with re-recorded mind you. (Wednesday 8 August 2018; 10:06)

Re: My new article about "The Butterfly Returns" (83,320) (83,328) by Billy from Greece Really great article Richard. I enjoyed it profusely. (Wednesday 8 August 2018; 08:52)

Re: Demi Lovato is a complete idiot (83,322) (83,327) by Tijl from Belgium Todd, I very much agree with you. Furthermore I believe it simply surpasses a matter of double standards but a major shift in moral that has occurred over the last decade. Whereas beforehand substance abuse if not the regular use of cocaine was considered something belonging to the world of rock stars and Hollywood. These days whenever you hit a nightclub or whichever other venue there is a blatant omnipresent acceptance of drug use. The taboo no longer exists and the "redemption" of silly starlets such as Lovato, Lohan or any other star of that caliber in the media creates further excess among the public that perceives that kind of behavior as glamorous if not the standard.

Re: Here's some proof (83,319) (83,326) by Hanno van Leeuwen from The Netherlands I thought the webmaster wouldnt post anymore posts about this subject? But mister knowitall from the UK could not let go of this topic and so the webmaster did post his reply. Sad but true. (Tuesday 7 August 2018; 21:45)

Re: Album release and title (83,318) (83,325) by Ethan from United States Thanks for your opinion Andrew. I'm looking forward to it because I believe she deserves a second chance - not counting Glitter - such very unfortunate timing of release and I think most lambs agree it's a great album/soundtrack. Charmbracelet is underrated but it yielded her best tour ever (I think most lambs agree with me on that). To me, the only "failed" album/time is MIAM because it doesn't seem coherent (and other factors of course) but contains several great cuts - #Beautiful, Faded, MILG, and IDKWTD. I'm optimistic about this time around due to better management and it seems like she knew she needs to take a bit more serious. It's just the music business structure on female artists late 30s and over 40s. We will all have to wait and see. (Tuesday 7 August 2018; 18:32)

Re: Demi Lovato is a complete idiot (83,322) (83,324) by Bill from the UK Preach. (Tuesday 7 August 2018; 17:12)

Re: My new article about "The Butterfly Returns" (83,320) (83,323) by Steve from USA Great article. I loved reading it. (Tuesday 7 August 2018; 16:53)

Re: Demi Lovato is a complete idiot (83,317) (83,322) by Todd from Melbourne, Australia What I can not stand is that people are referring to Demi has being "so strong" and "courageous" in her fight against substances. Wrong. It's not glamourous, nor should it be celebrated. Everything she is going through is the direct result of a bad choice she's made at some point. I have a massive weak spot for a cigarette every now and again. Not because of my upbringing/lifestyle/God-plan (lol), but because I tried smoking when I was 16. Also, the double standards here are sickening. 2001: Mariah heads to rehab because she's worked herself into the ground - career basically dead and buried for 5 years. 2018: Twerp woman uses drugs, almost dies, is lauded a hero, and her coincidentally named drivel of a track "Sober" is on constant rotation. I save my sympathy for people that are deserving of it. (Tuesday 7 August 2018; 14:23)

Re: My new article about "The Butterfly Returns" (83,320) (83,321) by enwar00 from usa I loved it. Thank you for sharing. (Tuesday 7 August 2018; 07:37)

My new article about "The Butterfly Returns" (83,320) by Richard from USA Hey all, I posted my latest blog post and it is about my trip to see Mariah's new residency in Vegas last month. I won't be checking back here often - too many haters and trolls on message boards in the past, but I do think the true fans on here will appreciate it. Enjoy. (Tuesday 7 August 2018; 01:21)

Re: Here's some proof (83,303) (83,319) by Andrew from UK Hold up, you can't really leave it there. For a last two pence worth: you're both not really hearing each other. Mariah has indeed *been* called the "Queen of Petty" (as evidenced) but what I think the poster was objecting to, whilst not wording it properly, and before feelings once again tried to overturn fact, was it being made to sound like Mariah has been, and is still, often referred to, and widely renowned for being, the "Queen of Petty". Which she is not. Were it to be so, I and others would have it in their daily consciousness. So everybody is right. And also wrong. This broadcast is sponsored by the Angel's Advocates, in association with MCA Censorship Board, an EdR Company. (Tuesday 7 August 2018; 01:03)

Re: Album release and title (83,310) (83,318) by Andrew from UK I don't mean to sound on a downer but who is actually caring about when the release of and what it will be? It already feels like another drawn out process with possibly no pot of gold at the end of it. Is anyone excited? No? Thought not. (Tuesday 7 August 2018; 00:47)

Re: Demi Lovato is a complete idiot (83,313) (83,317) by Andrew from UK The Whitney/Demi comparison is perfect. I wish I'd thought of it. Nail. On. Head. (Tuesday 7 August 2018; 00:45)

Re: Demi Lovato is a complete idiot (83,314) (83,316) by Andrew from UK I posted it on the Mariah Carey Archives messageboard because 1. Demi Tomato has been a total asswipe to Mariah in public for no reason. 2. She is mentioned here often. 3. I am incensed by celebrity culture which determines that some people are victims but some people are poor little lost souls and I am, as some might say, "calling it out". And finally, 4. Because [censored] that's why. This broadcast was brought to you by the Anti-Bleeding Heart Brigade. (Tuesday 7 August 2018; 00:44)

Re: Demi Lovato is a complete idiot (83,311) (83,315) by TJ from Norway I know the Demi topic isn't Mariahish, if taking drugs is an illness, why doesn't smoking count as an illness? (Monday 6 August 2018; 22:16)

Re: Demi Lovato is a complete idiot (83,309) (83,314) by Steve from USA Wow. First off, I'm not sure why you'd post this on a Mariah message board, since it has nothing to do with her. Secondly, what an insensitive statement. I see what people are saying, that we are compassionate with celebrities like Lovato and condemn other addicts. I think we need to move wholesale toward finding ways to help all of these people, rather than move toward wholesale condemnation. Did every addict make a choice at some point to try the drug that became their issue? Of course. Does everyone who consumes alcohol, or cocaine, or whatever, become an addict? No. Some people are wired differently than others. Some can handle it, and some become hopelessly addicted. In Demi's case, she's got several conditions going on at once - bipolar, bulimia, and the substance issues. She obviously has some deeper issues that manifest themselves in a variety of ways, but we only know what she and her PR team are sharing, and frankly that side of her life is private and none of the public's business. I went back and watched her doc on YouTube, and I think she comes across as well intentioned, and fragile at once. What I think I'm getting at is that we shouldn't be judging anyone for this type of thing, because if someone isn't an addict, then they don't know what a person like Demi, or Whitney, or any number of these high profile people are going through. (Monday 6 August 2018; 19:58)

Re: Demi Lovato is a complete idiot (83,312) (83,313) by Shezz from Pk I do agree that they all do deserve compassion but yes there has to be accountability too. You are so right that there is discrimination in how it's seen. Not just between celebrities and commoners but between celebrities themselves as well. Whitney was called a "crackhead" whereas Demi is a "broken woman". Why? (Monday 6 August 2018; 16:12)

Re: Demi Lovato is a complete idiot (83,309) (83,312) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines I wish addiction were as simple as mere impulses that one can control. If that were so then we would have more recovering addicts than addicts themselves. Sure, they should not have tried the damn thing in the first place let alone allow it to progress towards addiction, but the sad thing is that once they already are addicted and are on their way to supposed recovery, they will always be drawn to whatever substance they're addicted to. Self-control is still there, but the instinct of an addict takes over and they relapse. It it selfish, considering how much they affect the lives of those around them. And you're right, they make horrible role-models. With that being said, while I have never been an addict myself, I have seen what addiction does to a person and his/her family. Firsthand as my dad was an alcoholic, so I still sympathize with Demi to a certain extent. What I am not a fan of, though, is how the public reacts to these types of situations depending on who suffers from it. When it happens to be a celebrity, there's this overwhelming outpouring of support from pretty much everyone. But when it's ordinary people involved, then they are considered low-lives who got what they've bargained for. That's what pisses me off. (Monday 6 August 2018; 12:53)

Re: Demi Lovato is a complete idiot (83,309) (83,311) by Bobby A from United States Where is your compassion for those who may have suffered some type of trauma in their childhood that causes a chemical imbalance that leads to addictions they can't control? We all got something that we are dealing with. However, most of us don't have every aspect of our lives played out on the world stage to be judged by everybody. (Monday 6 August 2018; 11:06)

Album release and title (83,310) by Ethan from United States It's probably going to be at the end of the year to make the cut for the Grammys 2020. It'd not be wise to have it released before October 1 for the Grammys 2019 (you know the Grammys will give it to TS or someone else), maybe a single if we're lucky. Yes, I believe she still wants to get that AOTY and ROTY in her lifetime as she's been robbed several times. It doesn't make sense to release a single anytime soon while she's coming back to Las Vegas end of August and going on tour for the hits October/November and AIWFCIY in December. Just remember, most artists record tend to record twice the number of singles that make the final album cut - that's why we have unreleased and b-side tracks. Technically, she just started "working" at the beginning of this year. If she's fully committed, she can turn it around just like she did for E=MC2 and MOAIA - a year apart. On a different topic, as crazy as it sounds, it'd be cool if she names the new album "The Butterfly Returns". It's quite fitting. No more FB/IG posts. Just release it when it's ready. It was stated to be released at the end of last year so let's make it happen by end of this year. (Monday 6 August 2018; 08:21)

Demi Lovato is a complete idiot (83,309) by Andrew from UK Her addiction, she says, is an "illness". No, it is not. It is a complete inability to control her own selfish impulses. You shoot up heroine and you are a victim of an illness? You're the victim? So that's what Tomato teaches young children? "Hey kids. Don't exercise self control? Don't worry bout it. You're a victim. Everyone must pity you." What self-serving bullshit. Celebrities, and everyone these days, like to portray themselves as victims. #JLM. Junkies lives matter. (Monday 6 August 2018; 03:32)

So far (83,308) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Collaborators for the new album that we know of so far are Poo Bear, JD, B.Cox, Jonta Austin, Sam Romans, No ID and Prince Charlez. On another note word on the street is that we can expect the new single at the end of August or September. (Monday 6 August 2018; 02:55)
