Hospitalised (72,279) by Danny from Uk Hi guys, I'm currently in the hospital. I was watching the season finale of Tanaka's World - sorry Mariah's World - and I cringed so hard that I've hurt myself quite bad. If you can all send empowering empowerments my way so I can make a momentous recovery thank you. (Monday 6 February 2017; 21:04)

Re: Mariah Superbowl - setllist (like Diana Ross) (72,266) (72,278) by Norman from USA Sheila, I know you mean well. I do. That's why this gay man is going to help you out with your Conway impersonation: PokerFace: 14 million. Bad Romance: 12 million. Just Dance: 10 million. Born This Way: 9 million. Telephone: 7.4. Alternative fact free zone. Even Mariah knows her. (Monday 6 February 2017; 20:00)

Re: Mariah Carey Superbowl (72,262) (72,277) by Geronimo from USA I agree with you. I don't think Mariah really likes performing - especially these days. Her magic happens in the recording studio which is where she got her start and formed her identity. When I look at videos of her performing at her absolute vocal best - despite being very gracious - she still looked like it took a lot of work to be on stage and that she would rather not be there.

Re: Mariah Superbowl - setllist (like Diana Ross) (72,266) (72,276) by Will from England That's even funnier. You're telling me, that not one of the 778 million people who've watched the BR video, was not watching the Superbowl or were in that stadium? And that's just the video, not even counting the radio plays, performances, tours etc. of the other songs that Gaga sung. I love Mariah, but whilst she does have an impressive back catalogue which cannot be denied, she does not know how to put on a show that watchers of the Superbowl would expect now. Can you see her doing any of the things that would come up to par with the last few halftime shows? She's great when it comes to her own shows etc. but when it comes down to TV, something doesn't click and she plays it very safe. (Monday 6 February 2017; 18:32)

Re: It's just entertainment (72,242) (72,275) by Geronimo from USA Thanks for your reply, webmaster. You have unfortunately exaggerated or ignored my point. I did not suggest only positive comments are appropriate. I pointed out a particular trend in which people predominately disparage Mariah's parenting skills, mental health and her character in general. Doing that online about someone who has never even pretended to be any more than an entertainer – and doing it again and again and again - certainly does lean toward the neurotic. But by all means should people continue to post a wide range of opinions. I think my post was pretty clear about the specific issue I was raising in contrast to the generic one you put up as a straw-man. Nevertheless, this is your site and it has so far not been so painful to visit it that I prefer never to return. So, good job. (Monday 6 February 2017; 18:27)

Dream next album... realistically (72,274) by lil star from untied states I would add production from Timbaland and Missy and also Pharrell Williams to that album also haha. My 2 dream album: a more soulful album kinda more singer songwriter Adele ish vibes of Rolling In The Deep, with some hip hop beats mixed in kinda Lana Del Rey Born To Die style, and the raw ness of Amy Winehouse Back To Black and Rihanna Anti. A bit more angry of an album with Mariah playing with her lower tone and growls more. Subjects touching her family drama, divorce (the sadness of feeling like she became her mother and father), the miscarriage (a song to her unborn child kinda an anthem to all women who have been through that). Feeling unloved and abandoned (her love life is a mess haha) most songs done in a few takes only more live instruments guitar, piano and live drum. Production from the Roots, Bruno Mars, Frank Ocean, Rick Nowels, Justin Parker, Mark Robson, the Weeknd, DJ Mustard, Bhasker Glass, Hit Boy, Rick Rubin, and Paul Epworth. No features besides famous guitar or piano players or samples like a Carlos Santana ext. (Monday 6 February 2017; 18:12)

Production style on "I don't" (72,273) by Geronimo from USA I am impressed with the production on this track. Previously I have felt that Mariah's melodies often got obscured by too many overlapping melody lines and harmonies so that it made it very difficult to understand what exactly that melody is supposed to be. I think "I don't" is an improvement in that after two listens I could probably sing this song from memory because the melody is efficient and the production does not get in the way. (Monday 6 February 2017; 18:11)

Re: It's just entertainment for [censored] (72,265) (72,272) by Geronimo from USA The name is Geronimo. I appreciate your well developed comment. Thanks for thinking. Now go do some more. (Monday 6 February 2017; 18:07)

Re: Mariah Carey Superbowl (72,268) (72,271) by Lannister from USA She could do either but I'd love for her to do the National Anthem. (Monday 6 February 2017; 17:22)

Dream next album... realistically (72,270) by lil star from untied states I think we all reach for the clouds sometimes with what we want Mariah to do (I don't think she will ever work with Calvin Harris or sia), what's a realistic dream album you have? Ok mine 1) a pop album visiting Honey, Heartbreaker, Fantasy vibes mixed in with some disco vibes from the last album ala You Don't Know What To Do. Megan Trainer vibe is throwback pop with bits of r&b hip hop. Producers/colabos JD (1 or 2 songs tops), Qtip, The Roots, The Weeknd (kinda In The Night vibe) Diddy, Bruno Mars. The only features being Jay Z, Lil Kim, the Weeknd and finally a song with Justin Timberlake, and Sean Paul. Most songs being upbeat but with more deep lyrics. One song sampling a 2 Pac song tying to that mag interview where she said she ran into him. And a cover version of Ain't No Way by Aretha Franklin. (Monday 6 February 2017; 17:19)

Re: I Don't video ((72,254) (72,269) by Billy from England, UK I thinks she looks fab too, it's something new she hasn't dressed this way before, she's making up for when she was younger, so i'ts now or never, I have a feeling she will do alot of singles this year, so looking forward to the music videos lol. (Monday 6 February 2017; 16:07)

Re: Mariah Carey Superbowl (72,255) (72,268) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter She can still go for singing the National Anthem but I don't think the half time show is something for Mariah. I'm not saying that as a bad thing, she has her own style and people go to her concerts to see that. But it's not what the Super Bowl half time audience want. They want the huge visual spectacle. Whether it's Katy Perry coming in on a giant mechanical lion or Gaga jumping from the roof of the Stadium and dancing with suspension cables, Beyoncé making a huge political statement and so on. Even when Coldplay played last time, they became a meme about how Beyoncé and Bruno Mars overshadowed them. (Monday 6 February 2017; 16:00)

Re: Mariah Superbowl - setllist (like Diana Ross) (72,246) (72,267) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The songs Lady Gaga performed were some of the biggest hits. Everyone knows Bad Romance, Just Dance, Pokerface, Telephone, these songs ushered in that genre and repopularized it again back in 2008 and that was done single handedly by Gaga at that's time. At most people didn't know "Million Reasons" which was her new song. (Monday 6 February 2017; 15:53)

Re: Mariah Superbowl - setllist (like Diana Ross) (72,256) (72,266) by Sheila from United States Actually, while you make think the public at large knows here music they don't. Her music is typically hits in the gay community. (Monday 6 February 2017; 15:38)

Re: It's just entertainment for [censored] (72,265) by Sheila from United States You (basically don't deserve your name mentioned) are the most negative and nasty fish and one day I hope you find happiness and stop being so negative. No one can love or will love you being a negative [censored], [censored] person, you're [censored]. (Monday 6 February 2017; 15:25)

Re: Mariah Carey Superbowl (72,249) (72,264) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines 25, 20, 15, heck, maybe even 10 years ago, I would have considered this possible. Now, considering how stoic she prefers to be in during live performances, I don't see it happening. In this highly visual generation, you can't just stand there or run back and forth a little bit and let all the backup dancers do the hard work. You need to be actually part of the spectacle, especially in an event of such magnitude. Sure, Mariah does have huge uptempo hits fit for the occasion (Emotions, Someday, Make It Happen, Fantasy, Honey, Heartbreaker, It's Like That, Shake It Off) and maybe even her softer/slower/mellower ones (Vision Of Love, Hero, One Sweet Day, Always Be My Baby, We Belong Together, #Beautiful), but she's gotta be present and really be down to do whatever.

Re: Mariah Superbowl - setllist (like Diana Ross) (72,256) (72,263) by Licia from USA Lol I'm sure the general public knew all the setlist with the exception of the songs from her last albums. I don't know where she gets her info from. Smh lol. (Monday 6 February 2017; 14:54)

Re: Mariah Carey Superbowl (72,255) (72,262) by Licia from USA Singing the Star Spangled Banner is way different than doing a haltime performance. Even when Mariah was at her very best I don't think a halftime show would be a great fit for her. Besides Mariah there are alot of artists that I could never imagine doing a halftime show. (Monday 6 February 2017; 14:50)

Re: Mariah Superbowl - setllist (like Diana Ross) (72,256) (72,261) by Edward from USA I found that funny too. She put on a great show. Neither Mariah nor Whitney or Celine with their voices alone could've pulled something like that. Gaga is an entertainer, she has confidence, can sing, play the piano, dance, and it not always focused on her eyelashes or camera angles. She did great. For moment I tried to imagine Mariah on top of that platform where she was standing by herself, and I was like: she would need an army up there for her not to fall. (Monday 6 February 2017; 14:45)

Re: It's just entertainment (72,242) (72,260) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Thank you. I think the biggest mistake of some people here is that they come to this site expecting this to be some sort of safe space for them. There's nothing wrong with that - but there's nothing realistic about it either. They forget that what makes a fan board interesting is allowing all sorts of fans with their various ways of showing their love for an artist to express themselves. I can't really speak for the webmaster here, but I doubt this board would have lasted as long as it did if only positive messages were actually posted. If you don't like what you read and disagree with it, then that's what scrolling is for. If all the messages happen to be a stream of negativity at a given period, then take a break from the board and check back later. It's all up to you - when everything you read tortures you, remember that no one's holding a gun to your head to keep visiting this site. The pain is therefore self-inflicted. (Monday 6 February 2017; 14:41)

Superbowl (72,259) by Edward from USA Mariah, different from Madonna, Lady Gaga, Beyonce, and Michael Jackson, hasn't ever been considered a great entertainer. The artist that go on the Superbowl should command the stage with confidence and grace. There's not time for "I Can't Hear Myself" or "Earpieces" problems. Any costume changes should be done within seconds. Mariah can't even walk two steps in her own high heels without help, let alone command gracefully and with stamina a stage like that. Nowadays when Mariah sings live on any TV show, you can see her paying attention to her voice and how she's going to sound, the fear is always in her face, you (all caps) can't bring that to the Superbowl. It would be career suicide. I'm glad she probably won't ever be asked. If something went terrible wrong, I don't think she could handle the aftermath. (Monday 6 February 2017; 14:40)

Re: It's just entertainment (72,241) (72,258) by Andrew from UK "Self-righteous judgement" indeed haha. (Monday 6 February 2017; 14:27)

Re: I Don't video (72,228) (72,257) by Andrew from UK Whilst the red dress is probably the best - sorry, strike that - the least worst thing about the video, it looks like she's been prepped for open heart surgery. Maybe the vulgar look is the future and all the classy people are gonna look proper stupid and feel somewhat silly pretty soon. I think I might start cutting holes in my pants and walking around with my testicles on show. (Monday 6 February 2017; 14:24)

Re: Mariah Superbowl - setllist (like Diana Ross) (72,246) (72,256) by Will from England The General Public don't know Poker Face, Bad Romance or Just Dance? That's funny. (Monday 6 February 2017; 13:46)

Re: Mariah Carey Superbowl (72,249) (72,255) by MusicfanJ from Germany Didn't she sang the US hymne for Superbowl in 2001? I think she did a great "job" back then. I remember I only stayed awake for Mariah and next day I had school. (Monday 6 February 2017; 13:45)
