Re: Beyonce a better songwriter than Mariah? (67,271) (67,275) by B from USA Beyonce has been stealing concepts and ideas for years. I wouldn't be surprised if the artist that stole Mariah's concepts and/or ideas was Queen Bey. Her last good album was I Am... Sasha Fierce. I liked 7/11 from Beyonce but I didn't love it like I did Halo or Crazy In Love. Lemonade was a dud. Yes, she'll be nominated for a ton of Grammy Awards but she'll only win in the categories Adele isn't nominated for. I haven't watched the show since Mariah was snubbed in the major categories and was given her awards off camera. Does the Academy consider Adele a Pop artist or an R&B artist?

Re: I have a new appreciation for So Blessed (67,267) (67,274) by Licia from USA Bill I listened to There Goes My Heart one time and I never played it again. Lol I don't dislike it, but it didn't grab me after that one listen like most her songs do. I may just pull that one out to see if I missed something. (Friday 14 October 2016; 17:15)

Re: Article: Wendy Williams throws major shade at Mariah Carey (67,270) (67,273) by Licia from USA Lmao. I missed you all. Lmao. (Friday 14 October 2016; 17:09)

Madonna is Billboard's 2016 Woman of the Year (67,272) by Malcolm from Asia I hope next year Billboard will honor Mariah Carey like that when her next album comes out. They must do it. (Friday 14 October 2016; 17:01)

Re: Beyonce a better songwriter than Mariah? (67,262) (67,271) by Malcolm from Asia Of course she's not a better songwriter, I don't even know if she is worthy to call by that. Beyonce only knows how to work hard so she put in this position where everyone treat her as the "queen", she does things seamlessly and flawless so that nobody can touch and reach her, she doesn't even do interviews now. Everything from her is now calculated and that saddens me because I miss that girl who sang Halo and Irreplaceable. She knows how this business works so she is playing the game, but I will always love her same as Mariah but the one thing that always bugs me is that she have this plenty of Grammys that I honestly think she doesn't completely deserve and Mariah only have 5, damn even Taylor Swift have a "Taylor Swift Award" from BMI. It's bull. (Friday 14 October 2016; 16:53)

Re: Article: Wendy Williams throws major shade at Mariah Carey (67,250) (67,270) by RibbonB from USA Now Licia, you and I both know that Mariah was putting way too much in that gumbo and she put the shrimp in way too soon. Lol. "Sheyont want dat gumbo no mo", allegedly, possibly. (Friday 14 October 2016; 16:27)

Article: 23 of Mariah Carey's best hip-hop collaborations (67,269) by MCFAN16 from USA Let's not forget about What Would You Do feat. Nate Dogg and Shade Sheist. (Friday 14 October 2016; 15:55)

Re: Do You Think of Me (67,260) (67,268) by Bill from the UK Don't mess with a classic. Look at the Hero re-recording which went down like a lead balloon. (Friday 14 October 2016; 15:51)

Re: I have a new appreciation for So Blessed (67,251) (67,267) by Bill from the UK I play So Blessed all the time, I adore that song. I did listen to There Goes My Heart after years of not playing it and had a similar feeling. I love that song. It sounds like it was recorded on a beach or something. (Friday 14 October 2016; 15:49)

Re: Beyonce a better songwriter than Mariah? (67,256) (67,266) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I will however add that Beyonce takes risks with her music. She tries a lot of different things which pays off most of the times although sometimes it doesn't. But that's a gamble that one needs to engage in. Mariah used to take risks earlier in her career whereby she started new trends and popularized some trends that were already existing but not that popular. But after a point she stopped doing that and stuck to her formula which is funny because she used to complain earlier in her career how the music label would want her to always stick to a formula and she would have to fight them to deviate from it. But overall Mariah is a songwriter through and through, and a really great one at that. She really knows how to pen good songs, while Beyonce is not a songwriter but she makes clever decisions about songs she records by hiring hot producers and collaborators.

Re: I have a new appreciation for So Blessed (67,251) (67,265) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes Licia I know what you mean. The last few days I rediscovered the whole Emotions album with its beautiful songs. Sometimes I have a phase I don't listen to certain songs or an album and then I think oh you should listen to that, it's been a long time and it's amazing. And I do switch between the "old songs" and "new" very often, it belongs to my mood. "So blessed" is really beautiful. When she sings: I stay with you beyond the end. Love it.

Re: Weight on the face (67,258) (67,264) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I don't understand the need for her to get fillers. I mean her face is naturally in good condition and she seems to sometimes go a little overboard on the fillers which closes up her eyes. She really should just let it be. Using fillers for no reason will stretch out her skin and then she'll end up needing them more when she grows older. (Friday 14 October 2016; 15:07)

Re: Article: Wendy Williams throws major shade at Mariah Carey (67,250) (67,263) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, I think most of her fans love classy Mariah. Wendy Williams is not known here. But for me the things she said are not so bad. I still don't know what to think about JP, it's not my business. Although her man choices (can you say said) were always a bit. (Friday 14 October 2016; 15:02)

Re: Beyonce a better songwriter than Mariah? (67,256) (67,262) by B from USA Even with a room full of songwriters she hasn't released a decent song since Halo. She's not that special. Janet's a better dancer, Madonna's a better performer, and Mariah's a better vocalist (with her current voice). (Friday 14 October 2016; 15:01)

Re: Absence makes the heart grow fonder (67,248) (67,261) by MusicfanJ from Germany Again great thoughts Marissa. For me it makes Mariah more "elusive" without those insta-pics as you mentioned. But I do hope that personally she's fine too. We all know life's not easy especially if something is going on in the private life. Sorry doesn't belong to this topic but I love when Mariah sang "We are lambily" it always makes me smile when I see it on YouTube. I would buy this version on cd. (Friday 14 October 2016; 14:54)

Do You Think of Me (67,260) by darrian liu from taiwan Mariah has got to give this song a chance. This song came out in 1993 but doesn't sound dated at all. She needs to re-record this song, maybe add more modern twists to it but let it stay to its original structure. I think it would be amazing. (Friday 14 October 2016; 14:15)

Re: Weight on the face (67,249) (67,259) by Martyn from England, UK It'll be a combination of lipo on the body and fillers in the face. Fillers usually take a while to settle down, so they're always puffier when you first have them done. (Friday 14 October 2016; 14:11)

Re: Weight on the face (67,253) (67,258) by darrian liu from taiwan I thought most of the fillers people get nowadays are temporary. Kylie's lip fillers lasts about 6-8 months but never more than a year. If Mariah uses fillers, she has to stop and just wait for the fillers to be absorbed, don't fix what ain't broken. (Friday 14 October 2016; 13:48)

Staying low before it's her show (67,257) by Edouard from France I think Mariah is enjoying some quite time until the continuation of the Sweet Sweet Fantasy tour in South America. She knows all the media's attention is focused on the elections at the moment. She knows what she's doing so that she can get all the attention needed for the release of Mariah's World in December. Smart choice. (Friday 14 October 2016; 13:45)

Re: Beyonce a better songwriter than Mariah? (67,252) (67,256) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Sia also mentioned how Beyonce does not write her own songs. She talked about how she gets a couple of writers together, say in a house, and they wrote several songs and she will come later and go from room to room approving or rejecting songs and also adding maybe a word or two (which honestly anyone can do) to the already completed songs. (Friday 14 October 2016; 13:35)

Re: Beyonce a better songwriter than Mariah? (67,252) (67,255) by B from USA B is overrated. (Friday 14 October 2016; 12:18)

Re: Weight on the face (67,249) (67,253) by B from USA They said the filler Kylie Jenner used on her lips was temporary. So I'd said whatever filler Mariah's used is temporary as well. (Friday 14 October 2016; 12:09)

Beyonce a better songwriter than Mariah? (67,252) by Sheila from United States I am constantly shocked how [...] always gets a ton of award nominations, Neyo and the music industry has already said how she does "not" write her songs, she has principle songwriters and then she "adds" this or that or a word. Mariah writes all her legendary songs other than a remake here and there. Yet [...] who does not have the vocal ability or songwriting ability of a Mariah, gets all the award nominations. [...] (Friday 14 October 2016; 12:09)

I have a new appreciation for So Blessed (67,251) by Licia from USA I haven't listened to this song in a while and it just popped up on my playlist. I've always liked it, but I never really realized how simple and beautiful it is. I would love for a new song kind of like this one. Do you all ever have those moments with certain songs you haven't heard in a while? (Friday 14 October 2016; 7:54)

Re: Article: Wendy Williams throws major shade at Mariah Carey (67,218) (67,250) by Licia from USA I don't see what she said as shade either. She's said a few things that I have felt since Mariah started hanging with JP. I've always felt she needed to slow down with the marriage business. I don't buy that she's getting married so quickly because of the children. Ribbon you are correct that not all fans love messy Mariah. I know I can't stand it sometimes.
