Re: Superbowl, really? (80,837) (80,840) by Licia from USA Deedre you're hardly a negative Nancy like most if us are so you're allowed a moment to offer a not so popular opinion. I'm 50/50 on this. On the one hand I do think she could do it if she was really dedicated to it, but on the other I have to agree that being the type of artist that she is it may not translate well with the Superbowl audience. It would be interesting as heck to see if she could pull it over though. (Wednesday 7 February 2018; 00:35)

Re: Mariah for SuperBowl (80,838) (80,839) by Licia from USA Lol. Well sh*t Special K. Lol. Would you happen to know what event that was? For the life of me I can't think of what it was. (Wednesday 7 February 2018; 00:26)

Re: Mariah for SuperBowl (80,823) (80,838) by Special K from USA That performance was corny as hell but I'm glad you enjoyed it. (Tuesday 6 February 2018; 23:55)

Re: Superbowl, really? (80,826) (80,837) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada People might hate me for saying this, but I just don't think the Superbowl is the type of gig where Mariah would be comfortable. Mariah has an incredible instrument when she's rested and taking really good care of herself, but she's a singer. She's not really known for putting on the type of stage show that the Superbowl asks for. Could she perform there? Sure. But, I don't think the Suerbowl is the right venue for the style of artist Mariah is on stage. (Tuesday 6 February 2018; 23:41)

Re: Can't Let Go (80,827) (80,836) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Oh Stacey, bless you for posting that. This is going to be on repeat for a while. Sigh. (Tuesday 6 February 2018; 23:25)

Re: Can't Let Go (80,803) (80,835) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada I really really love this song and Love Takes Time, and have absolutely loved listening to the stripped down versions of her catalogue on YouTube. I've thought for years now a stripped down album of songs reminiscent of unplugged, but tailored to what she is able to do vocally. Interspersed with a "storytellers" approach between songs where she offered insights into her writing process for each song would be really lovely. Could be both an album and a live concert. Great way to bring attention to her as a songwriter. (Tuesday 6 February 2018; 23:11)

Songwriter hall of fame (80,834) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) The actual honoree were announced today and even though MC did not get selected this year, I am happy for JD because out of the hip hop power players his contributions and accomplishments always get overlooked. (Tuesday 6 February 2018; 22:50)

CLG (80,833) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Magical from beginning to end. (Tuesday 6 February 2018; 22:42)

Queen of music for superbowl 2019 (80,831) by Mariahsbaby from usa Andrew if [you're] talking about someone, please use their name since nobody is afraid to use yours. I'm Elias lol. Celine for Superbowl, does she even have uptempo songs? No hits and no memorable songs unless she plans to sing "My heart will go on for 13+ minutes". Mariah Carey could easily do the Superbowl and I know she would invite few guests. Katy didn't dance a bit on hers. Mariah has the voice, the name and the songs to really make a halftime people would talk about in years. I agree her dancing could be stronger but that's why we have Bryan now. We can make it happen. Also sad to see no women getting inducted to songwriters hall of fame. They snubbed Mariah. I'm really convinced that the industry hates Mariah just as much as Andrew. Oh well anyways Mariah is more relevant and successful than all of the people who got inducted. But I also noticed that Babyface was first nominated 2016 and lost but won his in 2017 so there is still a chance. (Tuesday 6 February 2018; 21:44)

Re: Can't Let Go (80,827) (80,830) by Anonymous from Stacey I'm in love with this version. (Tuesday 6 February 2018; 21:11)

Re: Mariah for SuperBowl (80,805) (80,829) by Leito from USA Love me some Mariah, but she can barely walk without assistance. People do not want to see someone being carried around, or being held just to take a few steps. As long as Mariah has been in the game, you would think she picked up some moves along the way. She's too worried about posing in the right angle and always looking pretty. I know she's not a dancer, but even Celine and Whitney knew how to properly work a stage. With this said, I'd still see her in concert. I have already seen her 5 times. (Tuesday 6 February 2018; 21:07)

Re: Can't Let Go (80,827) (80,828) by Edward from USA I agree, "Can't Let Go" and "Till The End of Time" are sung with such emotion, it's like every word gets delivered straight to one's soul. I know Tommy is mostly hated by the lambs, but I can't imagine Mariah without the type of music she did while under his wing. She might not listen to or like pop music, but when she delivers pop, she shines. "Almost Home" and "One Child" are up to part with any of her 90's music, even better than some. I guess we'll only experience Mariah doing pop on Christmas and soundtrack songs. (Tuesday 6 February 2018; 19:56)

Can't Let Go (80,827) by Stacey from USA Found this gem the other night. I agree, the emotional journey you take on this song leaves me speechless. Same goes for Till the End of Time. Enjoy. (Tuesday 6 February 2018; 18:33)

Superbowl, really? (80,826) by Edward from USA Well, Mariah can't walk two steps without help. Can you imagine her at the Superbowl? The Superbowl is more about bringing an energetic performance, not only the music. Mariah has plenty of songs in her catalog that would go great as part, and I repeat, as part of a great performance, but we all know Mariah is very lazy to commit to anything remotely close to a simple choreography. The Superbowl is not just an "I'm Here" for a soundcheck event. It's a super production in which Mariah would have to be willing to work hard as a team player, not as a diva, and actually rehearse. I think she could definitely pull it off, but she would have to stop her diva ways for that. She would have to actually work out at being flexible, being in shape is not directly related to being flexible. She would have to learn how to walk on whatever shoes she's on. She would have to commit to learning some "Heartbreaker" type of choreography, only with more energy. The production would even bring a real helicopter for Honey, but that along wouldn't do it. Lazy ass movement as if she's constipated wouldn't cut it. Wigs and weaves should have to be attached with crazy glue. It's not an event to just look pretty. Being realistic, I wouldn't like her to even try it. I think it would be career suicide. Singing "America The Beautiful" would be just fine. And for before the Lamb Police jump in, I want to say that I'm not saying Mariah should turn into a Paula Abdul or Beyonce, but she would have to do something other than some lazy as movements. As much as I hate to say it, I think Celine would do better, but I they are not the type of artists for events like these. (Tuesday 6 February 2018; 17:50)

Re: Mariah for SuperBowl (80,823) (80,825) by RibbonB from USA Licia you must scroll down the @Mariahdoingthings IG page. Please watch the hilarious video of Mimi gloriously edited into other better dancing divas videos. They even edited Mimi dancing with herself doing her iconic Honey dance at full hip sway swag. I couldn't attach the link from my tablet, but it's worth your time. (Tuesday 6 February 2018; 17:42)

Re: Can't Let Go (80,812) (80,824) by Mara from United States Special K I totally feel you on this. Every word. (Tuesday 6 February 2018; 17:23)

Re: Mariah for SuperBowl (80,821) (80,823) by Licia from USA Didn't she do a halftime performance during TEOM era? It wasn't the Superbowl (i don't think), but she did a great job though. If I remember correctly one of the songs was SIO. I can't be the only person who remembers this. Lol. Anyway, I don't like the setlist Sheila wants, but I think Mariah would be ok with a Superbowl performance if she just left some of her bad habits in Vegas. You can't half ass perform at an event like that. You have to do the full Honey dance. None of that lifting up every two seconds like your legs don't work bullcrap. (I just know some people will get mad at me for saying that.) Lol. (Tuesday 6 February 2018; 16:48)

Re: Can't Let Go (80,803) (80,822) by MusicfanJ from Germany Thanks RJJ12 for sharing. There are "new" vocals on it. I wonder how they made these stripped down versions. At the end when she sings: "I'm telling you baby. Just wonderful." (Tuesday 6 February 2018; 15:56)

Re: Mariah for SuperBowl (80,806) (80,821) by Lila from United States Yes. Simple and sensible. (Tuesday 6 February 2018; 15:41)

Mariah Blue-Spec CDs (80,820) by Billy from Greece Has anyone bought any of the Blue-Spec reissues of some of Mariah's albums (f.i. Butterfly, Rainbow) that have been out in recent years? Is there a difference in sound? (Tuesday 6 February 2018; 12:51)

Re: Mariah for SuperBowl (80,811) (80,819) by RibbonB from USA Baby steps, lol. (Tuesday 6 February 2018; 12:29)

Re: Mimi at the Superbowl (80,810) (80,818) by RibbonB from USA This is a bit much don't you think? (Tuesday 6 February 2018; 12:28)

Re: Beyonce's father says Mariah's success is (80,816) (80,817) by RibbonB from USA Sigh, didn't he think Tina was, oh never mind. (Tuesday 6 February 2018; 12:25)

Beyonce's father says Mariah's success is (80,816) by Sheila from United States E: I'm sure you noticed similar patterns of colorism once you joined the music industry. MK: Oh, of course. I challenge my students at Texas Southern to think about this. When it comes to black females, who are the people who get their music played on pop radio? Mariah Carey, Rihanna, the female rapper Nicki Minaj, my kids (Beyonce and Solange), and what do they all have in common? E: They're all lighter skinned. MK: Do you think that's an accident?
