About Stacey from USA: Been a fan since 1993. Favorite albums include Daydream, TEOM, and Music Box. I love a good discussion, but won't stand for hateful comments because we disagree. I am too old to deal with drama and so are you. Keep it real with me and we'll have some fun. Peace.

Re: Firecracker vs. Cameo version (96,398) (96,399) by Stacey from USA Well said. Discussion over, lol. (Thursday 22 October 2020; 05:05)

Re: Firecracker vs. Cameo Loverboy (96,379) (96,395) by Stacey from USA Not always true, lol. I prefer her pop stuff on most days, but love the Cameo version much more than the Firecracker one. (Wednesday 21 October 2020; 22:47)

Re: Loverboy versus (96,386) (96,394) by Stacey from USA I prefer the Cameo version, but you're right; it amazes me how after she learned of J-Lo swiping the sample, she can come up a redo that many love as well in such a quick amount of time. (Wednesday 21 October 2020; 22:45)

Re: Firecracker Loverboy vs Cameo Loverboy vs Remix Lo (96,384) (96,393) by Stacey from USA I prefer the Cameo version. Not because of nostalgia like some have suggested. To me the Firecracker sample sounds out of place. The sample is in one key and the vocals, music arrangement in another. It doesn't fit. But, that's just my opinion. If people like it, I'm happy for them. I prefer the heavier base arrangement from Candy. Listen to whatever version makes you happy. (Wednesday 21 October 2020; 22:43)

Re: Carole King (96,162) (96,167) by Stacey from USA Shoot if anyone should be upset it's Carole King. She wrote the dang song and could hardly get a word in. Truth. (Tuesday 13 October 2020; 18:53)

Re: Trash (96,154) (96,166) by Stacey from USA "If you want the truth without the sugar coating than why get upset when it's given to you straight?" Funny, I could ask you the same question, lol. But I digress. Chill. I'm not upset. If some faceless person over the internet that disagrees with me gets me upset, then I've got problems. Thankfully I'm not upset. So I'm good. Carey on and oh, lighten up. (Tuesday 13 October 2020; 18:50)

Re: Sorry guys, more love for Cameo Loverboy version (96,116) (96,147) by Stacey from USA Shhhh, don't tell anyone but I kinda prefer the Cameo version too. (Tuesday 13 October 2020; 02:35)

Re: Article: The Rarities liner notes (96,090) (96,092) by Stacey from USA Don't forget us little people now that you've hit it big. (Sunday 11 October 2020; 00:31)

Re: Trash (96,086) (96,091) by Stacey from USA I don't even know where to begin with such nonsense. I guess I should start by finding the 10+ Celine albums I have. The last one being Courage I bought. My favorite being A New Day Has Come from 2003. I've been a fan of both singers since the early 90s, enjoying their different styles. The truth of the matter is Celine's voice has held up better than Mariah. Why? Sure Celine's voice has changed with age like any singer. She uses technology, playback options, etc. Early on in Celine's career she lost her voice during a performance, due to stress, overuse? Who knows. I can't remember why. Sufficeth to say, she said from that moment on she treated her voice with great care. We all point to 1997 when MC's voice changed. Coincidentally that was also the year she left Tommy. He controlled everything, especially the money (aka her voice and I'm sure how she took care of it). Now no one is going to say she should stay home, not hang out with friends, have a good time. But when you're voice is fragile to begin with, nodules and all, is drinking, hanging out with those who smoke, maybe puffing once here and there the wisest thing? I don't recall scenes of Celine banging it out in the clubs. She was home with her hubby. You can question my fan-hood all you want. It's not like that's never been done here before, lol. But the truth is Celine's voice has held up better over the years. Has nothing to do with who's the better singer, who you prefer, noteworthy, whatever. It's just a fact. Now go and quietly ask yourself why. Moving on to heading home now with The Rarities in my CD player. Because see that's why I come here since 2002, I think? Former collector, you'll even find some of my items listed on Eric's discography. Why am I even telling you this? Must be those dang tangents, you know the one MC is stopped from going off of at the end of Lullaby of Birdland by the band. (Sunday 11 October 2020; 00:27)

Re: Trash (96,071) (96,080) by Stacey from USA You're kidding, right? Doing anything noteworthy has nothing to do with taking care of your voice. SMH. (Saturday 10 October 2020; 17:36)

Re: Trash (96,043) (96,067) by Stacey from USA Or maybe she's jealous of Celine because unlike Mariah, Celine took care of her voice, and now regrets not doing the same thing. (Friday 9 October 2020; 22:56)

Re: One Night (96,013) (96,033) by Stacey from USA Ahhhh, thank you. I've had the CD in my car. I played One Night a few times today, and while I like it better after a few listens, it still gets the skip treatment. The songs but I am sounds disjointed. It starts off one way then transitions to something else, all the while the parts don't mix. Quite honestly, if the whole song was the mid-uptempo part, I'd like it more. *shrugs* (Friday 9 October 2020; 00:53)

Re: All I Live For (95,995) (95,996) by Stacey from USA Same. I loved it instantly. (Wednesday 7 October 2020; 00:45)

Re: Looking In / TMOMC (95,708) (95,712) by Stacey from USA Me too. Looking In is my life's theme song. Such a sad song that really displays how miserable MC was at that time. (Wednesday 23 September 2020; 18:36)

Re: Everything Fades Away (95,498) (95,507) by Stacey from USA Dang it. Well thank you kind sir for the compliment. (Friday 11 September 2020; 21:17)

Re: Negative Nancy (95,484) (95,506) by Stacey from USA I hear you. Three tracks (Do You Think, Everything Fades Away, Slipping Away) are taking up space that could be used for other unreleased songs. And the second disc being devoted to a concert kinda irks me too. I'm sure she has enough unreleased stuff to fill up a second disc. That said I agree with Randy and Edward. We've gotten so much rare stuff lately I can't complain. I collected her CDs, promo CDs, etc for years up until 2007. I had the elusive Butterfly Meme Remixes promo from Brazil. So most of these remixes I've heard. Still though for everyone to have access to these mixes is great. Cheers. (Friday 11 September 2020; 21:16)

Re: Everything Fades Away (95,474) (95,486) by Stacey from USA I'm said USA fan and I love, love, love this song. This American already does (you know love this song). (Friday 11 September 2020; 07:16)

Re: Mariah en Espanol (95,405) (95,413) by Stacey from USA Shame. I feel shame. (Sunday 6 September 2020; 02:04)

Re: Mariah en Espanol (95,400) (95,404) by Stacey from USA I don't really care about who has the better accent, lol. My comments were a total dig at J-Lo's singing abilities or lack thereof. (Saturday 5 September 2020; 09:44)

Re: Sweetheart non Rap (95,380) (95,385) by Stacey from USA Same here. Usually I prefer her songs without the rap in hopes she'll save said rap versions for the remix. With this song and others like Heartbreaker, the rap fits perfectly and the song flows better with it there then without. (Friday 4 September 2020; 18:07)

Mariah en Espanol (95,384) by Stacey from USA Haha, someone should tell J-Lo that's how you sing in Spanish, lol. (Friday 4 September 2020; 18:06)

Re: Mariah stays in midnight (95,350) (95,353) by Stacey from USA Oh Edward, it's time for a refresher course in Sarcasm 101. (Wednesday 2 September 2020; 22:36)

Re: Mariah stays in midnight (95,332) (95,336) by Stacey from USA I hope you'll stick around. You, Bill, Andrew, and sometimes that Edward guy are sane logical voices I hope to read more of. (Wednesday 2 September 2020; 04:30)
