Re: Five things (80,692) (80,696) by RibbonB from USA Good luck with that. (Sunday 28 January 2018; 17:58)

Re: Couldn't Give That Away (80,693) (80,695) by Bill from the UK Let’s get back to Mariah. (Sunday 28 January 2018; 15:16)

Re: Grammy parties looks (80,688) (80,694) by Andrew from UK Strangely, I didn't like the outfit where the girls were sleeping, but I liked the one with the girls out - strange because, like most people, I'm truly tired of seeing her [censored]. And Tanaka always seems to look good. That guy could wear a sack and "make it look good". Their outfits don't match in the evening, however. [censored] (Sunday 28 January 2018; 15:09)

Re: Couldn't Give That Away (80,675) (80,693) by Andrew from UK Hold the phone, Bill: as your great-grandfather was on the Titanic when it sank, Tijl isn't permitted to mock Celine Dion singing "a song about a sinking ship" and an apology is sought from him? I assume you have written strongly worded letters to James Cameron vilifying him for making profit from the death of people (nobody alive today ever met)? My great-grandfather was shot by a German - what should I tell people not to make comments about? Germans? That would only leave the French lol. Sometimes I despair at the world some people try to make us live in. You don't have the right to not be offended. Whoever says you do - and there's a lot of them on this board - is misinformed, especially if they think the world's population is binary and divided into "lovers" and "haters". Ahem. Think I've had some of Randy's splashes. I enjoy your posts usually, anyway. (Sunday 28 January 2018; 14:54)

Five things (80,692) by George Golden from UK If I was Mariah manager I would suggest this five things for her to overhaul. 1. Single choices have to be big uptempo tracks and big epic ballads as album cuts. 2. One ballad as a final single off the new album. 3. No more male rappers. If she must have a rapper she could use a female rapper. 4. No more tasteless music videos. 5. An album like Donna Summers "She works hard for the money" would be amazing for her now. Big uptempos and meaningful songs. Not finger snapping slow jams. (Sunday 28 January 2018; 14:38)

Pre Grammy party looks (80,691) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Both looks won for me for different reasons the first look for the Roc Nation brunch was right on trend and it was fun. The second look for Clive Davis annual soirée was perfect for the occasion and what many may not know she recycled that dress it is one of Idols looks from 2013 but while Idol she wore the dress in reverse because of the cleveage baring front was too much for the Idol audience talk about knowing how to make it happen Mariah surely did that with both looks and looked great while doing so.

Re: Grammy parties looks (80,688) (80,690) by Licia from USA I really enjoyed the second look. If she'd just get rid of that walking accesory on her arm the look would be perfect (I couldn't resist lol). Don't kill me Special K. (Sunday 28 January 2018; 13:45)

Re: Mariah's most inspiring song (80,620) (80,689) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines For me, it's Outside. This is actually a depressing, more of a wallowing-in-your-sad-state kinda song rather than an outright inspirational one, but while there are so many buck-up songs out there (a handful by Mariah herself), there are only several songs about acceptance. As they say, the first step to conquering any difficulty is acknowledging that it exists and that it's happening to you in the first place, and that's exactly what Outside helps you with. It forces you to feel the painful reality of not fitting in anywhere so that you could realize that in the end, no matter how hard you try, you will still never fit in because that boring life isn't for you - because God put you on this earth to stand out - and that eventually puts you in a better position and mindset to accept just how special you are and learn to take comfort in the pain, uplift yourself and survive.

Grammy parties looks (80,688) by Shezz from Pk First that no cleavage fun dress at the brunch and then that stunning look at the Gala. She’s looking so young and happy. (Sunday 28 January 2018; 07:06)

Bruno Mars (80,687) by Tameka walker from United states I love Bruno Mars, I just became a fan of his. If him and Mariah could collaborate that would be awesome. I been a fan of Mariah since I was a little girl. Mariah is my favorite female singer. Mariah Carey is musical genius. To me she is one of the best female singers and songwriter that has ever done music. Now in terms of Bruno Mars. I watched his TV special. He reminds me of Michael Jackson. The way he can dance and sing. Plus he helps write music. Plus he plays his instruments for some of his songs. I would love nothing more than for Mariah to team up with Bruno Mars. I totally was blown away when I heard 24k magic. His album is awesome. I will be rooting for him tomorow at the Grammys tomorrow night. If Mariah uses her head and work with Bruno Mars she too will be back on the charts and hopefully picking up where she left off. Making hit songs and topping the charts. Mariah can do this she just got to believe that she can. Plus the fans like us have to believe and support Mariah and to tell the truth, I am proud that Mariah is starting to change how she dresses. Good luck Mariah and her future endeavors. Love much. (Sunday 28 January 2018; 06:26)

Re: Bruno Mars (80,676) (80,686) by Licia from USA I would love to see what her and Bruno could come up with just for the writing alone. (Sunday 28 January 2018; 06:11)

Re: Couldn't Give That Away (80,636) (80,685) by B from USA Mariah is stil a classically trained vocalist with excellent control of her instrument. It's the instrument itself that has suffered wear and tear over the years and has become unpredictable especially if she's not well rested and prepared. Even when she's not and she misses notes it's still in tune and pleasant to the ears. She's still in full control of her lower register which is criminally underrated. If she decided to sing an entire album or song in her lower register ala Toni Braxton I'd love it but I'd miss the high belts, sustained notes, and whistles. (Sunday 28 January 2018; 05:12)

Re: Bruno Mars (80,676) (80,684) by B from USA Miguel and Happy Perez were able to seamlessly update Mariah's sound with #Beautiful. (Sunday 28 January 2018; 04:59)

Re: Mariah's most inspiring song (80,677) (80,683) by B from USA Can't nobody say Mariah don't love having a ton of background singers on stage with her. The woman even sings with choirs as her backing vocalists. I think she's a huge fan of Phil Spector's wall of sound. Plus she's not as nervous when she's not up there alone. I've also noticed that she tends to harmonize with her backing vocalists. Especially Trey. Has anyone else ever noticed that? (Sunday 28 January 2018; 04:58)

Re: Bruno Mars (80,678) (80,682) by B from USA I just want them in a studio together. The man and his team are so talented and versatile just like Mariah. I imagine they'd create a soulful uptempo and an epic ballad or two. (Sunday 28 January 2018; 04:53)

ROC Nation pre Grammy party (80,681) by B from USA Mariah looks stunning on the red carpet while talking to Beyonce. Mariah looks like she did during 97 and 98 and 05 and 08. She looks better than Beyonce. Stunned. If she wants to score a comeback she's got her body back so I think she needs to bring it musically and vocally. Here's a video of Mariah and Beyonce. (Sunday 28 January 2018; 04:42)

Re: Bruno Mars (80,676) (80,680) by SM from Citizen of the World I don't have a good or bad opinion on Bruno Mars. I did watch his concert special on tv and it did nothing for me. It would be interesting to see what they would create for music. But, I am really hoping for new Mariah music that is just her. (Saturday 27 January 2018; 22:43)

Re: Couldn't Give That Away (80,672) (80,679) by Myles from CT, USA Honestly this post was hysterical and the fact that anyone truly thought you were making fun of the Titanic was bleak. I agree with you 100%. The video was an absolute disaster. (Saturday 27 January 2018; 21:40)

Re: Bruno Mars (80,676) (80,678) by Billy from England, UK I really wish they would make a song, it would be amazing. (Saturday 27 January 2018; 18:20)

Re: Mariah's most inspiring song (80,673) (80,677) by Randy from USA Excuse me. Why am I the only one who is miffed by all the extra background singers on the live performances of My All and Through The Rain, when there are none on the records? Oh wait I'm repeating myself again. I have called you, you stopped calling me. And I desperately wanted to weigh in on you being called a racist homophobic Mariah hater but why have both of us hated, when it could just be you? My status on this board is mildly disliked but since I'm cute and love MC's obscure tracks, I'm somewhat tolerable. And I'll have you know that my Spring semester students have not had to hear MC yet. They've had to listen to Marvin Gaye, Madonna and The Dixie Chicks. They don't get Mariah until we get to more complex American literature. Right To Dream is still the best lyric ever written. It should run for President in 2020. Someone's had some splashes.

Bruno Mars (80,676) by Lara from Middle East I really need Mariah to collaborate with him. Look at this mashup . Only him can bring her old vibes with a fresh sound. (Saturday 27 January 2018; 17:39)

Re: Couldn't Give That Away (80,672) (80,675) by Bill from the UK My great-grandfather died on the Titanic that night which is why I lapsed into snowflake mode. (Saturday 27 January 2018; 15:01)

Re: Couldn't Give That Away (80,672) (80,674) by Tijl from Belgium Thank you for standing by me Andrew dahling. I am astounded by the lack of humour on this board. I was a teenager in the '90s when being overtly PC wasn't the esprit-tendance and one was aloud to be outspoken and have a personality. (Saturday 27 January 2018; 14:45)

Re: Mariah's most inspiring song (80,663) (80,673) by Andrew from UK Randy, I love you. Still in January and you've mentioned the TTR background singers. Bracing myself for Right To Dream February, and mentions of 11th grade English students writing about Mariah in March. Kidding. I do love you, however. Even though you don't call anymore. Or send me flowers. (Okay, you never sent me flowers, but I think maybe you should.) (Saturday 27 January 2018; 14:17)

Re: Couldn't Give That Away (80,653) (80,672) by Andrew from UK You didn't insult anyone or anything. The usually level-headed Bill lapsed into a snowflake for a moment and tried to shame you with an argumentum ad absurdum by which someone doesn't like your opinion so extrapolates offence from it and tries to publicly shame you into an apology in order to get a quick "win". Like most of the snowflakes on here. Don't apologise or recognise their social justice warrior games. It drives them insane. (No fish were hurt in the writing of this message.)
