Re: V Magazine cover (81,282) (81,297) by Shezz from Pk Not that. I think it's a shoe. (Thursday 8 March 2018; 19:29)

Re: #marchforwhat? (81,294) (81,295) by Andrew from UK When I rise to power, anyone who tweets to someone who is dead or joins a hastag movement without aforethought will be first against the wall. And every single country would have to pick a Mariah song as their national anthem. But I would nominate Belgium to get "I Dont", les Pays Bas to get "Infuhmuzz" and the United States to get "Infinity". Because the Americans doing the end high note at the Superbowl would be totes amaze. Kneel or stand, that ain't coming out good. And the Olympics would be a Mariah fest. The United Kingdom can have "The Art of Letting Go". For shits and giggles. (Thursday 8 March 2018; 15:21)

Re: #marchforwhat? (81,293) (81,294) by Bill from the UK If I was famous the first thing I'd do is not have a Twitter account. (Thursday 8 March 2018; 11:56)

Re: #marchforwhat? (81,274) (81,293) by virgo.miss from australia I'm with Andrew. I can't abide all this hashtag bandwagon jumping virtue signalling. They'll forget about it tomorrow, if indeed they actually care or agree today. What I've noticed though is that the celebs who don't jump on the bandwagons and tweet their "thoughts and prayers" (is there anything more offensive than someone having a "look at me" moment and tweeting their condolences?) are attacked mercilessly by the media and twitterati. SO I guess now the PR person just tweets a standard thing for every SJW issue that comes along, ever. Seriously, if you care about something, get off your arse, get off twitter and do something... anything except tweet about it. (Thursday 8 March 2018; 10:13)

Re: #marchforwhat? (81,291) (81,292) by Andrew from UK Never never listen to anybody, Eddie, when they try ti discourage you. They do that. Belieeeeeeve me. (Thursday 8 March 2018; 06:49)

Re: #marchforwhat? (81,275) (81,291) by Edward from USA ... and you, and you, and you you you you in a whispery voice. Oh, and a few eh, eh, an another eh. I see you up there, Andrew. (Thursday 8 March 2018; 00:03)

Re: Me, Myself & Mariah (81,287) (81,290) by Musti from UK I don't think it's bitter. The very fact that she has never discussed the Grammy situation like this before means that she's let go of the bitterness. She sounds very relaxed and confident, mature and hip. I have great hopes from her contract with Roc Nation. We may never see another hit, but we can at least expect quality music from her in the near future. (Wednesday 7 March 2018; 22:03)

Me Myself and Mariah (81,289) by Terna from Nigeria That was an interesting article. And yes she seems genuinely happy and confident in herself it reflects through the way she answers the questions. It's also obvious she's experienced in the industry, but has also moved with the times, the way she compares the current state as to how things used to be. And I love how she low-key shaded the Grammys. Lol. Mariah's back and I'm loving this Mariah. I'm quite excited about what she has in store. That album is gonna drop sooner than we think. Did I mention that I love the magazine cover? Just beautiful. (Wednesday 7 March 2018; 18:27)

Re: Sade (81,279) (81,288) by enwar00 from usa Haha I'm March 14. Makes sense. (Wednesday 7 March 2018; 18:14)

Re: Me, Myself & Mariah (81,281) (81,287) by Sarah from Netherlands Really? I don't really feel like she mentioned a lot about music. And she seems bitter about a lot of things. Rightfully so, probably, but not sure it's a good idea to let it out like this. Whatever, we'll see what happens with this hypothetical new album. (Wednesday 7 March 2018; 17:59)

Article: Me, myself, & Mariah (81,286) by AnKo from Germany I really enjoyed this interview. It is deep, honest and fun. Plus here is a little cover (just a snippet) of Vision of Love I recently did. Hope, you like it. (Wednesday 7 March 2018; 17:50)

V Magazine article (81,285) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) I really enjoyed this particular article. (Wednesday 7 March 2018; 17:33)

Re: Me, Myself & Mariah (81,281) (81,284) by Licia from USA I agree. This was an awesome article. I still can't make myself get too excited for the new music until it actually materializes, but I can say that from this article it seems that she's really focusing on creating great music again and for that I am grateful. (Wednesday 7 March 2018; 17:09)

V Magazine / Childish Gambino (81,283) by RibbonB from USA I'm so glad she mentioned Childish Bambino. I have suggested him a couple of times here on this board. I hope she will be collaborating with him and his musical team. I am glad she realizes she needs a different approach, but she rambled on so much about fashion, I can't be sure. Here is hoping that she gets down to business and makes some good music. (Wednesday 7 March 2018; 16:56)

Re: V Magazine cover (81,278) (81,282) by B from USA It's a V, isn't it? (Wednesday 7 March 2018; 16:00)

Me, Myself & Mariah (81,281) by Bill from the UK What a great article. I love it when Mariah talks about music and songwriting like she did here. Interesting to see her potentially taking a new approach to her new album. This has me very excited and hopeful for a positive, necessary change. Emerge from the cocoon. (Wednesday 7 March 2018; 15:49)

Re: Sade (81,273) (81,280) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Thank you so much Mara, very sweet of you. I appreciate it. (Wednesday 7 March 2018; 15:48)

Re: Sade (81,271) (81,279) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Aww. I hear you on the Sade concert. She is such a rare performer. I believe there will be another chance. I know what you mean about the years here blurring together lol but we have not had this conversation. I am indeed a fellow Pisces (March 11). (Wednesday 7 March 2018; 15:44)

V Magazine cover (81,278) by Shezz from Pk Interesting shot - not going to comment on the you know what. I cannot for the life of me understand that black shoe-like thing at the forefront of the photograph. What is it? (Wednesday 7 March 2018; 15:02)

Re: #marchforwhat? (81,274) (81,277) by Tijl from Belgium Andrew dahling, I love opinionated people with brains like you and I am an advocate for freedom of speech. I can't help but notice that you like to be a wee bit provocative by stirring things up with ill considered statements that only after retaliation from other members receive a decent elucidation. You are what we describe in Antwerp as an "allumeur". Naughty, naughty... (Wednesday 7 March 2018; 14:14)

Re: #marchforwhat? (81,275) (81,276) by tadatorao from japan I was just dedicating a song to the heroic webmaster. There is nothing to get right as there is nothing wrong in the first place. Yeah Mariah sang it live that way but it doesn't mean I cannot dedicate it personally to webmaster. (Wednesday 7 March 2018; 11:59)

Re: #marchforwhat? (81,264) (81,275) by Andrew from UK Actually, Hero is for "You and you and you and you. And you and you and you and you. You you you, you you." Get it right. (Wednesday 7 March 2018; 07:13)

Re: #marchforwhat? (81,269) (81,274) by Andrew from UK My point was that these hashtag movements are a bandwagon on which people briefly jump and they do not really look at actual problems and often only blanket a superficial and sometimes inaccurate answer over them. Look at Make Poverty History over a decade ago. What happened to that? Every celebrity came out to be identified with it, including Mariah. Has anybody given a shit since? Time's Up infers that all women suffer because of all men: if you are a man you are a sexual predator, or a potential one, and, if successful, only achieved said success at the expense of a woman. Maybe in some or many cases. But the stars supporting it are the ones who prospered from it in silence and now feel the need to lecture everybody with every platform they have. BLM has a similar simplistic view of things. Next we will march on Washington because yet more children were hosed down in a frenzy of bullets while at school. Stars send bandwagon tweets about it but it is practically forgotten now. There will be another school shooting in a couple of weeks. Rinse and repeat. These hashtag, populist movements are, I believe, oddly self-serving, simplistic and dull as [censored]. What they do is serve to manipulate people in their homes into believing a certain thing about a cause without really debating fairly and openly the issues and go as far as to suggest that if you're not with them and the alleged victims, you are, or are potentially, one of the aggressors and/or of bad character. And I like Mariah Carey because of her music. Frankly I couldn't give a shite what political love-in she has joined this week. Nor Meryl Streep, nor anyone else. If somebody on here or elsewhere were to change my mind about this then amen. I can see an argument somewhere for shows of solidarity and love - "love" always being a worthy cause. As long as my account is here I will likely leave my opinion. I do not have a constant need to be witty, I probably just stand out in a pool of blandness. It is for that blandness reason I have asked Eric to delete my account and, thus far, he has not. (Wednesday 7 March 2018; 07:08)
