Re: Oh please, Adele? (58,970) (58,974) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I agree that "Style" is more #1 worthy than "Bad Blood". "Style" is more sophisticated while "Bad Blood" sounds juvenile. I also think "Wildest Dreams" was a beautiful song. Love everything about it. (Friday 8 January 2016; 9:55)

Re: Oh please, Adele? (58,968) (58,973) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha there was a lot of news about how Adele's success caused Rihanna to crawl back into a hole because she was scared (and rightfully so) that Adele will overshadow her. But apparently Rihanna has announced a tour in February I guess and she has been teasing fans with snippets of songs through her site in collaboration with Samsung. So she might release it. But oh well, as long as she doesn't collect any number #1's along the way, I'm good lol. (Friday 8 January 2016; 9:52)

Re: As a Latin fan (58,964) (58,972) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Giovanni, probably a very big reason Mariah never had a full Spanish album may be due to the fact that Mariah has always insisted that she will not sing anything that is not written by her. She does not speak Spanish and hence would not be able to write full songs in Spanish. Secondly I think I read somewhere that one of her Spanish versions, I think "Mi Todo" (not sure) had wrong translations and she was very upset with it and that's why she stopped doing Spanish versions of her songs completely up until "Hermosa" a good 16 years later. Even then she probably did "Hermosa" because Miguel was involved and he helped her. I can't be sure but I think she just doesn't want to fully commit to a project she has limited control over and would not want to disappoint herself and her Latin fans. Hope that helps, but again, it's only what I think might have happened. Not sure. (Friday 8 January 2016; 9:49)

Re: Don't forget about us (58,963) (58,971) by TJ from Norway This is a proof that a song can touch some people, but not everyone. I never understood how this song could reach the top of Billboard. (Friday 8 January 2016; 7:31)

Re: Oh please, Adele? (58,965) (58,970) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines I happen to like Out Of The Woods. It has this sense of urgency. I get the sense that if it succeeds, Tay's so gonna milk the 1989 high by releasing a seventh single. I hope she releases Clean or You Are In Love. Say what you want about TS, but the girl definitely has a way with choruses. Which is why I love Blank Space and Style. Especially Style. Definitely the best song in 1989. That should've gone to #1 and not Bad Blood. I understand hype and how it works, but that song just reeked of desperation. (Friday 8 January 2016; 3:09)

New music (58,969) by David F from Mexico I just wish she releases something like now. I think we need to hear new melodies, sounds, whatever. (Friday 8 January 2016; 3:07)

Re: Oh please, Adele? (58,944) (58,968) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines While it's true that Rihanna is the current artist who has the most potential to break Mariah's record (she has 13 #1s and she's only 27), I wouldn't count on her releasing an album within this year. It would be wise of her not to, especially not with Hurricane Adele in full force. Judging by the under-performance of the singles that she released last year, I think she'll be going back to the drawing board as something obviously wasn't clicking. Adele's comeback put the fear of God in a lot of artists - One Direction, Justin Bieber, Sam Smith, Ariana Grande. Rihanna definitely followed suit. I believe she released the cover art for ANTI days before Adele dropped Hello. That was a total momentum killer. If I were her, I'd start from scratch. At her age and with her popularity, she's already experienced such slump. It's hardly a MIAMTEC moment, but it seems to be shaping up like one, and at least Mariah had hers at 44 in an ageist industry. (Friday 8 January 2016; 2:50)

Re: As a Latin fan (58,962) (58,967) by Manny from U.S. I've also wondered that. Do you recall when she says that she was not happy with certain translations of her songs. Hero in Spanish sounds a little weird as far as the translation. (Friday 8 January 2016; 2:34)

Re: Don't forget about us (58,963) (58,966) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter That song is awesome. The video is so simple yet so beautiful. There are quite a lot of MC songs that can be released now and still sound fresh. Shows what a great writer she is. (Friday 8 January 2016; 1:27)

Re: Oh please, Adele? (58,954) (58,965) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter "Bad Blood", "Out Of The Woods", "Shake It Off" are the songs I find lame. I enjoy "wildest Dreams", "Style" and "Blank Space". (Friday 8 January 2016; 1:10)

Re: As a Latin fan (58,962) (58,964) by Seth M from South Africa As far as I know, I think that she recorded My All, Open Arms and Hero in Spanish. They are all available on YouTube. (Thursday 7 January 2016; 23:33)

Don't forget about us (58,963) by Giovanni from USA I don't remember if I posted about this song, but it's been awhile since I last heard it. It still sounds as fresh as it did when it was first released. And this is why Mariah is "the queen" and hit maker. She knows how to write and produce a song as well as delivering musically. "DFAU" is probably one of her best hits ever. Would still make it to number one today had she never released it. The video is also nicely done. (Thursday 7 January 2016; 23:08)

As a Latin fan (58,962) by Giovanni from USA I always wondered why Mariah never recorded a whole album in Spanish. It would have been perfect in '96 or '98. I'm really surprised Tommy never had Mariah do it for the purpose of crossing over to Latin market and making more fans. I love Thalia but Mariah obviously has a better stronger voice. JLo's Spanish albums were all flops lol. Too bad Mariah never did one. It would have been successful, especially with great songs. Whenever I hear "Mi todo" and "Hermosa" I'm so blown away on how amazing she sounds. (Thursday 7 January 2016; 22:57)

Re: Oh please, Adele? (58,960) (58,961) by Giovanni from USA We get it. Mariah is the queen. But could we get back to Adele? (Thursday 7 January 2016; 22:42)

Re: Oh please, Adele? (58,952) (58,960) by Seth M from South Africa Exactly, there are factors that determine chart positions that the public does not know about. You have to be a really strong artist inside to take on certain people in big corporates to fight for your number 1. That is why Mariah succeeded so far in getting the most number 1 hits. She was not afraid to take on certain people in the industry. Another example, both Mariah and Celine started with Sony in 1990. Celine was a follower and not a leader. Mariah took control and became a leader and not follower and pretty much did what she wanted to. Had she been a one dimensional singer what Tommy wanted her to be, then she would not have 18 number 1 hits by now. She had to fight for it and work twice as hard to assume creative control.

Re: New photo (58,955) (58,959) by Marissa from USA Great observation Lee. I just knew the photo was recent and I couldn't put my finger on why I believed that so strongly. It turns out that I had seen the picture that you linked and subconsciously I must have noticed that the hair looked the same. (Thursday 7 January 2016; 21:26)

Re: New photo (58,949) (58,958) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada She looks gorgeous and happily, flawlessly, glowing. I love it. (Thursday 7 January 2016; 21:20)

Re: Oh please, Adele? (58,951) (58,957) by Seth M from South Africa Thank you B. I agree with you on that. (Thursday 7 January 2016; 20:03)

Bikini moment (58,956) by Lee TS from USA Now I love me a Mariah in a bikini moment, love it and love them all. But her in that red wetsuit was so freaking sexy. Like she still stuns me as if I'm seeing her for the first time. The hair flip moment, magical. But that festive version of her doing TAOLG pose and her hair flowing with the slight head tilt, oh my gosh, I literally can't even. (Thursday 7 January 2016; 18:57)

Re: New photo (58,949) (58,955) by Lee TS from USA I don't know I thought it was obvious that the bikini shot was new, maybe because I saw this other photo of her with some people, where she was wearing that long black Letterman dress under a kimono thing. Weird. And she was wearing the same makeup and hair. I usually look at her photos by the makeup she wears, and her makeup was not the best. One obvious go to would be her belly button post birth. But hey, if people think the picture is over 10-15 years old that's a huge compliment. (Thursday 7 January 2016; 18:45)

Re: Oh please, Adele? (58,944) (58,954) by Tevin from USA Which song from Taylor Swift did you think was lame? "Shake it off and style", "Wildest dreams", "Blank space was good"? (Thursday 7 January 2016; 18:21)

Re: Swimsuit picture (58,950) (58,953) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter It's definitely new. The people saying it's a throwback picture are confusing it with this photo from 2006 and this photo from 2003. That's why they think they have seen it before but it's just that Mariah is posing in a similar way. The photo is new and was possibly take the same day as this photo, judging by the hairstyle. (Thursday 7 January 2016; 17:55)

Re: Oh please, Adele? (58,946) (58,952) by Tevin from USA Is that why Mariah said Obsessed could not be allowed to climb higher on the charts? (Thursday 7 January 2016; 17:33)

Re: Oh please, Adele? (58,945) (58,951) by B from USA Adele reminds of me Celine. (Thursday 7 January 2016; 16:37)

Swimsuit picture (58,950) by ksquarred from paris Some people are saying it's a throwback picture Mariah is trying to pass for new. Do you think it is? (Thursday 7 January 2016; 16:28)
