Why You Mad (Infinity Remix) (56,030) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So I took my time and listened to this song a lot of times because I wanted to hear what MC heard in it to think it was a good remix. Now while on first listen I was like "oh hell no", this song is a disaster, after listening to it multiple times, I think it can be saved. But like I said, a lot of it needs to be tweaked. I think they should drop TI. I love TI but really he is adding nothing to this song. I'd like French to be pushed to the last verse. I would actually like French out of the song completely but since he was the first to collaborate, I think that won't happen. The song should start with a Mariah verse. Then chorus, Justin, chorus, Mariah and then French, then the ending chorus. Various voices should be made a little more prominent because I feel like the music is overshadowing Mariah's voice. I love her urban remixes, I also don't mind her using a lot of rappers in a song, but the song needs to flow well. This song didn't flow well for me. So with a few more tweaks, it can be saved. I wonder why we don't hear anything more about the song from MC or French. Did they decide not to release it or are they tweaking it? Now would have been a good time to release if they do, because Justin's fans are hungry for any release he makes and once his own song comes out in a few days, no one will care about this. We need all the fandoms of the collaborators to get a hit. (Friday 14 August 2015; 14:10)

Re: Gilles Side Effects remix (56,028) (56,029) by Gilles from Malta You are welcome. I love side B, I love urban, I said that I like them lol. Not that I do not like them. But I have to be honest with the other fan regarding MC. Most of the time I prefer tracks that are not a single and not famous. I think there is some music for business and some music that is reflecting more the artist's side. And in my case MC's side B are more revealant, I mean I love them most.

Gilles Side Effects remix (56,028) by Matty from Vancouver Canada Gilles, I didn't know about a "Side Effects" remix until you posted that. I know you don't, but I love it. Thanks for mentioning it. I've always loves the original but a Busta verse and some extra sparkles in products. I'm down. Anyway, thank you. (Friday 14 August 2015; 10:50)

Re: Why you mad? Um, because of this (56,017) (56,027) by Gilles from Malta I think it is just a question of taste, I do not mind it, I like it because it is a side B. I have a question for you. Did you like the others songs like in my case for example they are not my classic fav, but my urban fav. I Still Believe (Remix) feat. Mocha and Amil Did I do that Say Something feat Dem Franchize Boyz My life Obsessed with Gucci Mann Triumphant remix Side Effect remix with Busta The Roof Desert Storm mix Don't Forget About Us Desert Storm remix And the others. A lot of people do not like them, but regarding me I like them. Mariah always does a bit for everyone and for her. For people who like ballads, club, and urban. So are we 3 catagories of a fan? Or all in one? Depends, what do we like? (Friday 14 August 2015; 9:08)

Re: Why you mad? Um, because of this (56,017) (56,026) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End "Not disappointing? Look I don't want the webmaster to savage me again, because I know he hates doing it, but the remix is an unadulterated mess. It's a joke. Is there a market for this? Do lambs like this music now? It's bad. It's awful. And I think most people know it. I genuinely think less of the the other artists for taking part. It is honestly the worst thing MC has ever released. Ever. Full stop/period. It makes the original sound like an Oscar winner. What's the point of it? Throwing salt into the wound of the original. It's just awful. There are bad MC songs that we all wonder about. And then there is this. Serious questions have to be asked about what the fantasy she is doing." Andrew, you should consider applying for a job at Rolling Stone Magazine, Billboard and other such publications. You could use all your posts on MCA in your submission portfolio. I'm sure you will find great success in doing so and I'm not even kidding. We could use someone like you on the inside fighting for Mariah. My 2¢. (Friday 14 August 2015; 8:55)

Re: Rolling Stone/Telegraph (56,025) by Bill from the UK LC, as usual you said it perfectly. I saw the list on Twitter and knew Mariah would not feature because of the magazine's unfathomable determination to not recognise her talent and achivements. History will of course tell a different story. Facts are facts and the truth won't change with time. Rolling Stone just has no credibility for me. Regardless of what the magazine's in-house view may be of Mariah, to deny that she has written 17 number one songs, made the only worthwhile contribution to the Christmas song cannon in the past twenty years, written songs that have reached global audiences and influenced an entire generation after her, is just moronic. Years ago when she ranked #79 on the 100 greatest singers list, it was insulting and you could tell she was included grudgingly and because she had to be. Just bad journalism through and through.

Re: Why you mad? Um, because of this (56,017) (56,024) by Giovanni from USA I hear you Andrew. When I first heard "Infinity" I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I said "This is the same Mariah who wrote and sang 'Vision of love'?" "Infinity" is [censored]. And there are no words for the remix. I said it before and I'll say it again. Mariah is lost right now musically. I really hope she finds herself again and starts recording decent material. Collaborating with rappers and recording [censored] music is what has hurt her fan base and career. (Friday 14 August 2015; 4:37)

With the soon return of Adele Mariah can get a #1 (56,023) by Amber C from USA Anyone else noticed that Mariah succeeds more when the industry has super talented people? In the nineties the industry was full of great talents, male or female yet Mariah surpassed them all. Same with 2005 if you remember. Mariah can write a heck of a ballad. Her song writing surpasses Adele's aswell. Not to mention Mariah has a super volt somewhere with unreleased #1s that she's just waiting to release. Music is her life. Not only is music her life but Mariah keeps insisting that a surprise album release and what not was her idea, and not Bey's. If that is the case what else does Mariah have under her sleeve? We all know Mariah will have atleast one more #1 we just don't know when. It's a feelings that transcends time and justifies reason. Lol. In my mind I visualized the Billboard charts of 2016, #2 Adele #1 Mariah. I feel it. And please don't come at me with your "charts don't matter" stuff. Save it. (Friday 14 August 2015; 4:36)

Re: Megan Trainor (56,015) (56,022) by Tevin from USA I agree with everything you mentioned. I for one would be the first to sign up for Mariah vocal class. (Friday 14 August 2015; 4:27)

Re: Rolling Stone/Telegraph "greatest" lists (56,010) (56,020) by B from USA Wow. I have lost all respect for Rolling Stone after hearing they didn't include Mariah. Mariah is the lyricist of our generation. Bey, GaGa, and Taylor better than MC? I can't. (Friday 14 August 2015; 2:45)

Rolling Stone/Telegraph (56,019) by Matty from Vancouver Canada I will never understand Rolling Stone's blatant hate for Mariah. Why so much hate from them? I remember when they published their "100 Greatest Singers of All Time" list a few years back, and put Mariah at #79 whereas Bob Dylan sat at #7. Bob Dylan was a lot of things to music, on of the "Greatest Singers" he certainly was not. In fact he was known to be the exact opposite. People hated his voice, especially when he first hit the music scene. What the Rolling Stone has done by being so unprofessional and bias in what they publish is turn themselves into a joke, and wannabe of what they use to represent. They are not the respected music magazine they were in the 60/70s. This publication wants to say the represent "Real Music. Real Talent. Real song writing. " Then when you get the perfect blend of pop-R&B princess/singer-songwriter, with a phenomenal voice they continually disregard and disrespect her. Someone, who actually represents everything they say and stand for. Instead they promote smoke and mirror flash-in-the-pan artists. Rolling Stone has been a joke since the mid-90's. They continually prove themselves to be out of touch, and to have shockingly poor taste in music and artistry. Why are these corporate "music enthusiasts" helping to erode the music scene to shallow fluff? I remember Mariah saying in an interview years and years ago, while laughing, that Rolling Stone always gets Barry Walters to review her album, and she said he openly says he is not a fan of anything Mariah does. How is this unbiased? How is this professional? (Friday 14 August 2015; 2:08)

Re: Rolling Stone/Telegraph "greatest" lists (56,010) (56,018) by 123 from USA Thanks for posting this LC. It just goes to show you that the music rags, whom are supposed to specialize in all things music, just go with whomever is popular at the time. Adele's Someone Like You really displays that a 21 year old wrote it. Had she had more life/love experience, she would realize how silly a song like that sounds like. Taylor Swift has 7th grade level songwriting. Compare her Love Story and Shake It Off to Mariah's Love Story and Shake It Off. Mariah's songs are lightyears ahead. Is Taylor biting Mariah song titles? Several songwriters have come forward saying Beyonce does not write and has her name in the credits for the financial gain. Lady Gaga ripped off Madonna's Express Yourself with Born This Way. The lyrics to The Roof craps on several new artists whole discographies let alone songs. I have no issues with Madonna being on a list as she has been in the industry a long time. Watch when she gets another hit a la TEOM, everyone will be praising her when right before they were saying she was washed up. (Friday 14 August 2015; 1:54)

Re: Rolling Stone/Telegraph "greatest" lists (56,013) (56,016) by Mushaakiss from UAE I can't remember a time when Rolling Stone had ever been kind and supportive of Mariah. Look at the reviews they did for her albums. The most she ever got was 3.5 out of 5 stars if I remember correctly, and I remember her most successful albums received even lower ratings like e.g. TEOM. It's like they have it in for Mariah for some strange reason. (Friday 14 August 2015; 0:49)

Re: Megan Trainor (56,002) (56,015) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Add Keith Urban to that list Tevin. Ironic isn't it? Meanwhile Mariah who actually sings more live the longer she is in the business and sounds absolutely magnificent doing it because she has taken exceptional care of her instrument and has great vocal techniques is always the one the media trolls falsely uses as example of someone who supposedly can't sing anymore. If singing were an Olympic event she would have had 7 Gold medals for her every vocal peak by now. Who else has been singing on her octave levels for 25 years and has an opera singer for a mother to boot? This is why Mariah needs to be a mentor to other musicians and it's a crime she was robbed of that on her AI stint. Perhaps she was overqualified considering who they let on the judge's panel. Mariah should seriously entertain the idea of teaching proper voice care and professional singing at Juilliard or Carnegie Mellon at some point. Or maybe a docu-series of 10 episodes on PBS, MTV, VH1, BET or HBO and a book. I'm sure Patricia could coauthor as she too has demonstrated brilliant preservation of her voice on Come All Ye Faithful. My 2¢. (Friday 14 August 2015; 0:47)

Re: Rolling Stone/Telegraph (56,014) by Mirage_Nunez from America Honey you better speak on it. It's a damn shame, the way they try to disregard our girl. But no matter how hard they try the records speak for themself, and her legacy contonues to live on through her undeniable influence on today's artist. Why they mad? (Friday 14 August 2015; 0:40)

Re: Rolling Stone/Telegraph "greatest" lists (56,010) (56,013) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I also heard about it and it is absolutely disgusting. Who makes these lists? Mariah's achievements are far bigger than what the people named on that list. I am shocked honestly. This is a new low. Mariah may not be at the top now, but if one looks at her overall career, she has made a bigger impact than anyone on that list. She has influenced both singing and songwriting. What nonsense is this. (Friday 14 August 2015; 0:35)

Re: Rolling Stone/Telegraph "greatest" lists (56,010) (56,012) by Luke from United Kingdom I never take anything in magazines, news sites/papers or even sites like Billboard very serious anymore. Gone are the days where talent was the main highlight in a career in that industry. Put a little botox in your lips, dye your hair black, insert some implants in your ass, five layers of makeup and be prepared for effortless fame and to be on the cover of Vogue and Rolling Stones. Like the quote Mariah used in Meteorite "In the future, everyone will be famous for 15 minutes." It's true and disgraceful really. Although people like Adele are truely talented, people like her are a minority in that business. I think the reason Mariah is put down so much is because she has always followed her heart and stayed true to herself in that business, when others let the big power people tell them what to do and beat them down. She has stood strong and I believe a lot of the power wolves don't like it. From what I've seen in a lot of documentaries it seems that unless you do what you're told, you can expect have things made harder for you. (Friday 14 August 2015; 0:07)

Rolling Stone/Telegraph "greatest" lists (56,010) by LC from USA I don't know if you guys saw, but both the UK Telegraph and Rolling Stone magazine published "greatest of all time" lists recently, and Mariah is not included in any of them. The Telegraph published two, which were the 50 greatest female pop stars of all time and 50 greatest female songwriters of all time. Mariah was not included. Rolling Stone published the greatest songwriters of all time list. Mariah was not included. I am disgusted. People like Adele, Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Lady Gaga and Madonna made the cut but the woman that sold 200 million albums, wrote and produced more number 1 singles than any female artist in the US and has two songs of the decade wasn't good enough? In what world is Adele a better songwriter than Mariah? In what world is Taylor Swift a better songwriter than Mariah? In what world is Lady Gaga a bigger star than Mariah? This isn't to discredit any of those artists because I respect them all, but this is just unbelievable. The best selling artist of the last 25 years and most successful female artist of all time is not featured on lists that are supposed to be unbiased and factual? This is disgusting. This just shows how there is an agenda to brush away the legacy of Mariah Carey. Call me delusional but when someone has this level of impact on music and culture, they deserve to be revered and respected. She gets so little respect in this industry even though she's outlasted and outsold more than half of them. Her influence is undeniable. Yet it is continuously downplayed. I can't believe this shit. Wow. (Thursday 13 August 2015; 23:02)

Why You Mad live performance (56,009) by Malcolm from Asia "Why you mad" is not disappointing but I don't see it as a #1 hit I guess (if that's their target ) because for me, it's too much. The beats are too loud that it overpowered the vocals and I wish Mariah only include Justin and one rapper. T.I.'s verse is like a bad-rush addition to the original MC-Justin-French collaboration instead of improving it, but otherwise, the song is really radio/club worthy and suits for younger generation. But I wonder when they will officially release it so I think it's a good idea if Mariah, French, Justin, T.I. will premiere it live in VMAs, it could be really epic if they perform it together. If that happens, they must think how to deliver the song for it to become an impressive and cool performance. I suggest Mariah must wear an outfit like the one she wears on Kelly and Michael but a black color, sleeveless and overlay black pants with her hair straight (like on Triumphant MV). Imagine if Mariah will wear that in a performance, it can really bring back her hotness and will leave the haters in awe. (Thursday 13 August 2015; 18:52)

Megan Trainer (56,002) by Tevin from USA So I heard that Megan Trainer has cancelled her North American tour because of a vocal hemorrhage. What is with every new singer today, are they not being vocally trained properly? Sam Smith, Adell, Megan Trainer, John Mayer. Yes the have great voice and can sing, still they don't do the amazing vocal acrobatics like Mariah and Whitney and singers of the past, yet they are so plagued by vocal problems. This is a testament to how Mariah's voice has for the most part remained intact. (Thursday 13 August 2015; 12:51)
