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.

Mariah loosing a lot of fans thread (75,544) by Stacey from USA TJ and Edward are 100% right. Oh make no mistake, those of us frustrated at MC are real fans. We have every right to express disappointment in the person we have supported for over two, count 'em, two decades. I've been there since the beginning. Certain fans have no right to question the loyalty of fans who've been here when said fans were still in diapers. Look at the fool she's making of herself. That's ok with some of you? Take a seat and step it back a bit. (Monday 22 May 2017; 23:31)

Re: Breakdown (75,493) (75,505) by Stacey from USA I popped in the Butterfly CD yesterday and let it play. MC must have been going through some tough crap. That CD puts her feelings on full display. I felt so bad for all the crap she endured. Not now, of course, but I digress, lol. Like you, Breakdown played yesterday. What a masterful piece of genius there ever was. (Monday 22 May 2017; 00:51)

Re: Breaking point (75,481) (75,494) by Stacey from USA I'm right there with you. Although my middle finger to MC happened a long time ago. Welcome to the club. (Sunday 21 May 2017; 16:55)

Re: Ages? (75,384) (75,402) by Stacey from USA 39, people. I'm hitting 40 in the fall. Like Edward, I also was front and center to Mariah during the early stages of her career. I guess it's why I'm so critical of her when she puts out crap like Infinity. I know she's capable of so much better. (Saturday 20 May 2017; 08:12)

Re: Article: X Factor bosses in secret talks with Mariah Carey (75,203) (75,214) by Stacey from USA Agreed. Why resurrect the mess that was AI with a stint on X-Factor? Doesn't make sense. Marian's World was laughed at, why push further into reality TV? Focus on the music, dahling. (Saturday 13 May 2017; 05:16)

Re: Possible TM and MC reunion (75,200) (75,213) by Stacey from USA Yep. Agree 100%. I don't buy the TM conspiracy theories either. Both parties have moved on. (Saturday 13 May 2017; 05:11)

Possible TM and MC reunion (75,194) by Stacey from USA It might not be such a bad thing. All this talk about TM behind LA's departure from Epic is just that: speculation. I honestly think both ex's have grown up and moved on from that situation. Mariah isn't young and naive as she was during her time at Columbia records. In the end, I don't think Tommy is in any way associated with this mess at Epic. Mariah will put an album out later this year as she's said. If it tanks, I'd say she's in real trouble of losing her record deal. (Friday 12 May 2017; 18:35)

LA out at Epic (75,170) by Stacey from USA I always felt LA was Mariah's safety net. If he was there she could pretty much do or not do what she wanted, like releasing I Don't with no notice or not really focusing on putting out a quality album. Maybe the newbies at the label will kick Mariah in gear. Mariah is a legend, but Epic is a business and businesses like to make money. They only care about what you've done for them lately. Get in gear MC, or you might find yourself without a deal. (Friday 12 May 2017; 03:55)

Everything Fades Away (75,029) by Stacey from USA Everything Fades Away is another ballad unlike her others that gives me chills. While TTEOT invokes cries for her love to come back, EFA is quite the opposite, telling the story of love that has ended. Both songs have such beautiful, haunting melodies. I love how both songs end in much the same way, light singing that just fades away (pun intended). Love this song too. (Saturday 6 May 2017; 07:56)

Mara, Licia, Special K - Till the End of Time (75,027) by Stacey from USA Mara, It's no secret I am no fan of Mariah the person these days. But, I digress, lol. Still though, I thank her for writing the lyrics and then delivering such a powerful vocal that still gives me chills 20+ years later. Like Licia said, that bridge is so, I can't even put into words the emotions I feel when she sings that bridge into the final chorus. Oh and how the song lingers then fades into The Wind is sheer genius. Ms. K, you said it. This song is in a league of its own. (Saturday 6 May 2017; 05:22)

Emotions, Till the End of Time (74,982) by Stacey from USA I know it's often hard if not impossible to name a favorite this or that when it comes to Marian's songs. But, all this talk about the Emotions LP got me thinking about Till the End of Time. Daydream as a whole is my tops album. Always will be. But, I think if I had to pick a favorite ballad, Till the End of Time is it. The song has such a hauntingly beautiful feel to it, something so different than her typical ballads we hear. Magical.

Re: B-sides and rareties CD (ebay) (74,872) (74,875) by Stacey from USA I was a long time collector. Some of my items are featured here. I bought fan made promo CDs. I never had a bad experience. I guess my only advice would be to check the person's feedback. Buying bootleg stuff is hit or miss. (Monday 1 May 2017; 00:36)

Re: Can't Let Go video (74,805) (74,816) by Stacey from USA Agree 100%. It's laughable to place I Don't in the same realm as Can't Let Go. (Friday 28 April 2017; 00:29)

Re: Can't Let Go video (74,802) (74,815) by Stacey from USA You're gonna equate the likes of I Don't, IBLYLT, HATE-U to Can't Let Go? Seriously dude, take off the rose colored glasses. (Friday 28 April 2017; 00:23)

Re: The cycle of the lambs (74,441) (74,458) by Stacey from USA Haha, I was thinking along the same lines before I ever saw this post. I want to believe things will be different. But, I'm slowly realizing MC's best days may be behind her. May... (Thursday 13 April 2017; 05:49)

Re: One More Try live in Dubai (official video) (74,085) (74,103) by Stacey from USA She did a great job. As far as lipping parts, it's no big deal. We all know she has lipped for years. All singers do it. The key is mixing live notes with the lipped parts without the average ear bring able to tell the difference. She did that with this performance and she came off sounding great. (Sunday 2 April 2017; 10:44)

Re: The Art of Letting Go (74,062) (74,073) by Stacey from USA Haha, same here. (Saturday 1 April 2017; 00:29)

Re: The uselessness of trying to change someone (74,008) (74,016) by Stacey from USA Loved every word. Probably the most spot on post about Mariah's current situation I've ever read. Thank you. (Tuesday 28 March 2017; 22:12)

Re: Emotions (2017 TMC Radio Mix) (73,977) (74,000) by Stacey from USA I'd love an mp3 too. (Tuesday 28 March 2017; 05:10)

Re: The Beautiful Ones (73,906) (73,927) by Stacey from USA One of my favs for sure. The whole haunting vibe of the song is genius. Plus, she blends so well with Dru Hill. Such a masterpiece. (Friday 24 March 2017; 19:10)

Re: Celine, Aretha, and all that stuff... (73,907) (73,926) by Stacey from USA Nope, you can't fake that stuff. That's why I dismiss the whole Celine was rude to Aretha argument. I couldn't believe this topic was resurrected either. Leave it alone already, lol. (Friday 24 March 2017; 19:09)

Re: "I'm free" vs "If it's over" (73,896) (73,925) by Stacey from USA K, you know it. I have a CD player. You know we're old school in my house. My 8 year old daughter empties the dishwasher. What does she turn on? Daydream of course. (Friday 24 March 2017; 19:06)

Re: "I'm free" vs "If it's over" (73,861) (73,885) by Stacey from USA I played Daydream in its entirety yesterday. I Am Free is such an underestimated gem. (Thursday 23 March 2017; 19:55)

Celine, Aretha, and all that stuff... (73,884) by Stacey from USA Celine didn't upstage anyone. Geez. Anytime she is asked about other artists, she always has nice things to say. She was so complimentary and gracious when asked about Ariana and John Legend taking on Beauty and the Beast. This idea that Celine was rude to Aretha Franklin is just plain ridiculous. Celine doesn't strike me as a person who shades others compared to Ms. "I don't know her". On Chain of Fools, MC was going at it with Aretha too. They were both trying to out do each other, most notably at the end. Was MC being disrespectful? No. Why even ask the question? It was a Divas show. People want to hear them ladies sing. Period. We need to stop beating this poor dead horse. (Thursday 23 March 2017; 19:50)

Re: If you could (73,392) (73,416) by Stacey from USA The Beautiful Ones, Fly Like A Bird. I mean can you imagine all the amazing runs? Wow. MIAM? Um, I'd have to choose One More Try. I think her 2014 rendition is ok. But, I'd love to see her go after this song with 20 year old age voice. (Monday 6 March 2017; 22:15)
