Celion Delion (73,680) by Andrew from UK To state that Mariah is more talented than Celine is a bit of an (intentionally) vague statement. Celine can't write music, no. Celine doesn't produce music, no. But she can sure as hell sing the shit out of it, still. This current fatigue of "Celine lipsyncs almost everything" is lambs clutching at straws. It is a realignment of the truth to fit a purpose. Many people lipsync. To use it to lessen the mess Mariah has put herself in with regard to lipsync is laughable. No Celine doesn't write and produce music. But in a speech she made recently she said of her late husband, "He always surrounded me with the best people." It was a wonderfully romantic statement. That her doting husband would be on the phone demanding the best songs, the best producers, the best marketing for his wife and her globally respected voice and brand was heart-warming, and made their now eternal separation all the more thought-provoking. "This one's for you Rene, the show must go on." What do we have? "This ones for you, James, I kept the ring." Is Mariah a better singer than Celine? No. Mariah has, to me, the better back catalogue, and a tone that makes sense to the ears. Sometimes in Celine's songs I have to skip because the excess of sentiment becomes a bit cringe. But Celine is a f**king brilliant singer and could sing Mariah out of the water in 1998 and 2018. And she hasn't ruined her own brand by acting like a vapid idiot. I will say, though, that I'm almost certain around 1994/95 I read a quote from Celine saying that Mariah was a better singer, way back then. So humble is she. And, thus, likeable. In fact, reminded now of the Kathy Griffin sketch of how Celine Dion walks out to the crowd with a shocked look every time and points to everyone like she didn't expect them to be there: "Rene? What if tonight is the night... they do not come?" She's loved the world over. Mariah, sadly, no longer is. But I'll listen to Mariah songs over Celine songs any day of the week, and twice on those twice-Tuesdays. And Mariah didn't do a bad job of selling out the UK venues. So there's still an appetite. Even it is an appetite for days long since past. (Wednesday 15 March 2017; 23:43)

Re: Article: Mariah and Nick did not argue at Kids' Choice Awards (73,672) (73,679) by Licia from USA I saw this on Bossip. I hadn't heard or seen anything else from any other blog or new site. All Bossip did was quote what OK magazine said. I would think that if they had a fight at an awards show this would be everywhere. (Wednesday 15 March 2017; 21:47)

Re: Celine Dion lipsings and it's ok? (73,670) (73,678) by Edward from USA Exactly my thoughts. I think that Mariah's brand has been cheapened a lot. There was a sense of mystery about Mariah that kept us with some level of intrigue. Even when Nick had diarrhea of the mouth about their sex life, she would be so classy when she was asked about it. She went head to head with Eminem with her music, but never talked much about it. During American Idol she upped her diva persona, and everything has been downhill from there. She doesn't seem to understand that the way she's perceived is important to her success as an artist and for her brand. She doesn't have to be fake, but she doesn't have to be too much out there either. Saying she was foiled was a terrible mistake, especially coming from her own mouth. If she was foiled, she should prove it. If you can't, she shouldn't have said anything. Let your girlfriend do the talking. (Wednesday 15 March 2017; 21:35)

Re: Lee Daniels on Wendy (73,674) (73,676) by Edward from USA Lee Daniel is not one of her employees, that's why she might get mad, but then get over it and see the true friend in him. He doesn't seem to care much either, it's not like his livelihood is going to be affected by Mariah throwing a tantrum. At the end of the day, I think she benefits more from him and what he does from her, lol. (Wednesday 15 March 2017; 21:15)

Re: Lee Daniels on Wendy (73,674) (73,675) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter That dodge was epic. (Wednesday 15 March 2017; 21:12)

Lee Daniels on Wendy (73,674) by RibbonB from USA Did he dodge that Mariah question or what? So sunny. He didn't even try to fake an answer. I'm sure he stands by his interview where he said she is fragile, but now he is sworn to silence. (Wednesday 15 March 2017; 20:59)

Re: Article: Mariah and Nick did not argue at Kids' Choice Awards (73,672) (73,673) by RibbonB from USA Lol I read about that story and immediately thought Stella leaked it. Maybe she leaks, then debunks. Most fans really just want Mariah and family to be OK, nobody really cares about Stella and her "heroics". (Wednesday 15 March 2017; 20:56)

Article: Mariah and Nick did not argue at Kids' Choice Awards (73,672) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Most of the stories that are being "debunked" are ones I have not even heard about before they were "debunked". Like I think the all the recent stories in which we got Stella's response and all like "Mariah supposedly feuding with Joe Jonas" (out of all people), "Mariah is marrying Tanaka", "Mariah did not have sex at a restaurant toilet" are stories that I never came across until Gossip Cop "debunked" it with quotes from Stella. No one was even talking about these, not even Wendy haha, so why even bother responding? The only one that was worth responding to was the "Mariah is getting dropped by the label" one (if only Stella could stop being trashy for one and act like an educated professional). I don't get why she's responding to these weird stories that people never even heard about. (Wednesday 15 March 2017; 19:15)

Re: Alone in love (73,669) (73,671) by Edward from USA Licia, I thought it was only me. I see myself repeating that verse so many time, thank God MP3 don't get scratched like CD's do, lol. The sense of urgency until she gets to that last word and boom, it's epic. I can only compare it to what she does with Melt Away after takes the word Mine, stretches it for like 20 loving minutes and then boom, she explodes giving us a few seconds of ear-gasms. Oops, I'm not trying to make ear-gasm happened, sorry, I just didn't know how to express it. (Wednesday 15 March 2017; 17:40)

Re: Celine Dion lipsings and it's ok? (73,651) (73,670) by Malcolm from Asia Commercial success doesn't equates respect. Celine is very much respected, she may not be as talented as Mariah but she knows how to put on the work and how to care of her reputation and credibility very well. When her husband/long-time manager died, she's still aware on how to protect her brand and what direction she will take and sadly that's what Mariah is lacking, because of her own decisions, look at what happened. Even Jennifer Lopez is much more celebrated now compared to her. (Wednesday 15 March 2017; 17:15)

Re: Alone in love (73,667) (73,669) by Licia from USA This is one of those songs that I can never pass up when it pops up on the playlist. I have to listen. It never gets old. Edward that part was epic. She had some sh*t to get off her chest. Lol. (Wednesday 15 March 2017; 16:21)

Re: What's up, toots? (73,659) (73,668) by Edward from USA Drew, if it cracks you up, it's because you got it as intended. I hope Eric hadn't censored her last post to you completely. I wanted to laugh a little too. (Wednesday 15 March 2017; 16:01)

Re: Alone in love (73,664) (73,667) by Edward from USA I've always loved "Alone In Love". It's one of the songs I always repeat from her debut album. This is my favorite part: "Sitting in the dark without you How am I supposed to make it through the night Slowly fall apart without you Cry away the hours 'till the morning light" What she does vocally with the word "light" has always been a delight for me. (Wednesday 15 March 2017; 15:56)

Re: Alone in love (73,664) (73,666) by Sheila from United States Alone In Love is pure beautiful, the lyrics, the delivery, honestly underrated gem. (Wednesday 15 March 2017; 15:51)

Re: Celine Dion lipsings and it's ok? (73,654) (73,665) by Edward from USA I agree with you 100%. If Celine weren't respected in America, she wouldn't be as successful in Vegas or when she goes on tour. She might not be an artist of the moment, but she's actually very well liked here. She's gracious, she's fun, she's always real on her interviews. I've never heard her say anything bad about anybody. She's a strong woman who has been in the business for 36 years, and she's still here. She definitely is loved just like Streisand is loved. Hits don't necessarily have anything to do with respect. You might have them or not and still be respected. Aretha Franklyn, Patti LaBelle, Diana Ross, Barbra Streisand and many others are respected and I don't remember when was the last time they had a hit. (Wednesday 15 March 2017; 15:49)

Alone in love (73,664) by MusicfanJ from Germany I love how Mariah gets praised for this song on YouTube. I didn't know that she wrote this magical song with only 15. What Mariah did musically on her debut and Emotions is out of this world. This is something Celine Dion and other female artists will never come close to. Also Celine is great, I have a best of which I like a lot. But no comparison to Miss Mariah Carey. Sometimes I think she was so young when she "delivered" such classy masterpieces that in some way it's impossible to outgo herself and even to hold the standard that she set for herself on so many levels for a long time.

Re: Mariah and Lionel All The Hits (73,661) (73,663) by Sheila from United States The tour has been cut down in half probably due to Vegas, the Christmas shows and new music coming. (Wednesday 15 March 2017; 13:53)

Re: "One Sweet Day (Chucky's Remix)" (73,442) (73,662) by MusicfanJ from Germany I'm again in love with this song. Thanks for mentioning the remix. I only knew the a capella version. This music and the way Mariah was singing it (like an angel) made me a fan forever. I wonder if she really knows how many hearts she has had touched back in the day. As someone said before, almost everybody loved the "American sweetheart". Not only fans. I'm gonna listen to it on repeat, perfect for daydreaming at those strange times. (Wednesday 15 March 2017; 13:52)

Mariah and Lionel All The Hits (73,661) by B from USA First the date was postponed and now it's been canceled and my money was refunded. I'm disappointed but at least I was able to attend the second night of her Las Vegas residency. Which just so happened to be the night they filmed the Infinity video. (Wednesday 15 March 2017; 13:29)

Re: Celine Dion vs Mariah Carey (73,656) (73,660) by B from USA Everyone has insecurities however ours aren't on display for the world. (Wednesday 15 March 2017; 13:22)

Re: What's up, toots? (73,649) (73,659) by Andrew from UK Ed, you and your vagina envy. Cracks me up. (Wednesday 15 March 2017; 13:11)

No freedom of speech (73,658) by Carlos Lopez from Australia None of my last messages have been posted, don't get me wrong I love Mariah, but I say it as I see it. I just expect more from her. [censored] I'm trying to understand, that's all, I don't mean to hate, because I do love Mariah. (Wednesday 15 March 2017; 13:05)

Re: Dear webmaster (73,655) (73,657) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands "Could you please do something about those who are just plain disrespectful to others on this forum and to Mariah." You mean people like yourself? Lately, I had to censor many of your messages. (Wednesday 15 March 2017; 12:52)

Re: Celine Dion vs Mariah Carey (73,650) (73,656) by Musti from UK Mariah's problem is the endless calculations that go in her head with her every single effing move as to whether she looks good. Every angle, every step, every freaking move she makes, she wants to look beautiful. I think she looks her best when she's on stage in her element singing her heart out. But clearly she doesn't like the way she looks even when she sings. (Wednesday 15 March 2017; 12:49)
