The greatest songwriter (102,936) by Mariahsbaby from usa All about Mariah posted a beautiful Mariah quote today, "Not everybody realizes that I write my own songs and they definitely don't realize that I produce them." Mariah is without doubt the most successful female songwriter and producer and top 5 of all time (men and women) included. What Kelly said was so accurate. Mariah isn't talked about in those circles when great songwriters/producers are mentioned, and I'm sorry one award three decades later isn't enough, Mariah deserves 10 other prestigious "icon" songwriting/producers awards. Mariah has won so many songwriting awards but they weren't televised not that nobody really watches those anyways, like the fact that she has over 33 BMI awards for songwriting. I mean this imperfect angel is unbelievably successful yet it don't compare to her talents, A gracious musical genius who devoted her life to her music and her fans. She is a real life Barbie, has an overly girly persona, she is so sexy and she knows it, a person of faith. Many people can't handle a women who dares to speak up, knows what she wants and who likes to be in control. History has shows that usually has insecure men bothered. The critics now mostly resort to baseless accusations and try to go after her character when so many from the industry and not just the stars has said she is one of the nicest people in the industry. The facts and the numbers will remain while the subjective commentary will be buried. (Wednesday 28 June 2023; 17:39)

MB30 (102,935) by Stacey from USA Listen to the song All I Live For. Little Tommy was a bit insecure too, lol. I'll always have a deep appreciation for MB. It was the first MC album I ever heard, with Hero being the first song to bless my ears. Each album has its place in her musical history/journey.

MB30 (102,916) by Bill from the UK Hmmm. Ultimately Mariah wrote all those songs, and she speaks fondly of them in interviews. I don't think she dislikes the music, probably more the personal life at the time. But even then, the song "Now That I Know" says all that needs to be said about how Mariah felt about entering into marriage with Tommy. "By your side I can conquer the world." And conquer it she did.

Mariah's a songwriter? (102,934) by Stacey from USA I'm sure Kelly's comment was one to hopefully get MC on her show. But I read the comment, and as a whole, I think it was a nicely put comment. Kelly has nothing but respect for MC. (Tuesday 27 June 2023; 23:39) this is a reply to message 102,928

Mariah's a songwriter? (102,928) by Bill from the UK This is news to me too. I'm surprised she's not been inducted into the Songwriter's Hall of Fame. (Saturday 24 June 2023; 10:49)

Taylor's Swift's Eras tour (102,933) by Bobby A from United States I received two likes and no replies. I guess no one else heard the news or it was tweeted as somebody's wish list and I didn't catch it. Lol. (Tuesday 27 June 2023; 16:54) this is a reply to message 102,929

Taylor's Swift's Eras tour (102,929) by Bobby A from United States Mariah Trends on Twitter is reporting today that MC is joining the European leg of Taylor Swift's Eras tour. Has anyone else heard this exciting news? (Saturday 24 June 2023; 20:55)

Kelly Clarkson comment (102,932) by Lady B from USA I think the folks who pay close attention like the people on this board and the industry people (Songwriter HOF) recognize/know she's a songwriter too, while your average bear probably thinks of her solely as a singer. Juxtapose that to Kanye or Dr. Dre, who I think most folks think of as both producers and rappers, not solely rappers. Again, I'm talking the casual fans, not folks like us or voters for the Songwriter HOF. (Tuesday 27 June 2023; 14:50) this is a reply to message 102,931

Kelly Clarkson comment (102,931) by Chicago Lamb from USA Kelly is pandering to Mariah with her songwriting comment. She would love for Mariah to be a guest on her show. (Tuesday 27 June 2023; 13:24)

Mariah's a songwriter? (102,927) by Randy from USA I had no idea. I just thought she stood on stage in a black gown and sang Hero one dimensionally. I thought because she's a terrible piano player and doesn't play guitar that there was no way she could write songs. I've seen every interview she's ever done and she's never mentioned it. I was under the impression that MC and Mimi wrote most of her songs. I thought Casio wrote All I Want For Christmas is You. I thought Gloria Estefan wrote Hero. I thought Eminem wrote Clown. I thought those scribbling noises on Faded were mice scurrying across the floor. I thought she was just drawing stick figures in her journal during the Can't Take That Away video. I thought that section of her writing Never Too Far in Glitter was just acting part of the script. My Butterfly can now fly over the Rainbow abandonedly. I agree Kelly, Mariah is not recognized as a songwriter. (Friday 23 June 2023; 21:24)

The Roof (102,926) by MusicfanJ from Germany We had a little summer storm here. Now I'm listening to "The Roof". What a song. Perfect song for the heat, the rain and the evening. I'm addicted to it, since it came out in 97. I love everything, the lyrics, the mood, the video (gorgeous, pure video music art). I even love the rap part. RnB at its best. (Thursday 22 June 2023; 19:47)

Congratulations (102,925) by Mariahsbaby from usa Sad when fans seems to also count her out. Congratulations to Mariah, Latto and Dj Khaled for selling over 1.3 million copies in US alone. Today I will be celebrating by listening to that song, MIAM and Caution, the rest of the catalogue will be ignored just like Mariah ignores most of her amazing catalogue. (Wednesday 21 June 2023; 10:27)

Mahogany (102,924) by Matty from Vancouver Canada [When I feel it] is my absolute favourite unreleased track from Mariah aside from Help Me Make it Through the Night from the Tennessee [soundtrack]. (Wednesday 21 June 2023; 03:12) this is a reply to message 102,922

Mahogany (102,922) by Bobby A from United States I just listened to Sprung. It's a shame Mahogany and MC didn't do more songs together. He really captured a retro 70s feel that no other producer has been able to do for MC. He probably pulled out some of MC's best vocals on TEOM. Maybe we get a better quality version of When Feel It one day too. Just my two cents today. Lol. (Wednesday 21 June 2023; 00:19)

Bebe Rexha phone throw (102,923) by Matty from Vancouver Canada Hahahahahaha so true and were desperate for a viral moment. Imagine if the person at Mariah's LA Pride concert [hit] Mariah in the face like it did Bebe. So apparently what I've learned from the Gen Z'ers in my life (I'm a Millennial, gotta hit up this new younger bunch for this info). Apparently it's something where the some artists will pick up the phone after it's thrown on stage and take a selfie with it and toss it back to the phone owner. Not in the case of Bebe because the dude told the police he thought it would be funny, but apparently the origin is having the artist play along and snap a selfie. Lame imo.

Bebe Rexha phone through (102,920) by MusicfanJ from Germany Really? I never heard of this "trend". It's so stupid to throw a phone. Another reason why I prefer to watch a concert during the 90ies. The audience were normal people who enjoyed the artist to the fullest. (Tuesday 20 June 2023; 18:23)

Bebe Rexha phone through (102,919) by Matty from Vancouver Canada I heard on a podcast reviewing Mariah LA Pride Concert, that someone threw their cell phone on the stage during the Pride concert and in classic Mariah form made a joke and then kicked the phone to the side. Did you all see that Bebe Rexha had someone do the same thing at her concert and now has stitches and a black eye? Can't someone explain with this new stunt is and what the disrupters intentions are? I don't get it? The guy who hit Bebe said when he got arrested "I thought it would be funny." Why? Where is the funny part of throwing a hard object at a performer that you paid to see? I'm lost at this new trend. Any insight? (Tuesday 20 June 2023; 10:06)

MB30 (102,918) by Bobby A from United States I see now Bill. MB is your sweet spot. I am going to give it a listen again from beginning to the end during my last 8 days in Atlanta packing. I am moving back to Austin Texas. Atlanta is not the same like it was 16 years ago. (Tuesday 20 June 2023; 04:02) this is a reply to message 102,916

MB30 (102,917) by MusicfanJ from Germany Great post. "And conquer it she did." Oh yeah. She did. And "Anytime you need a friend" is just not only a song, it's a feeling, a hmyn. Just for this song one needs to love MB. "If you just believe in me, I will love you endlessly, take my hand, take me into your heart, I'll be there forever baby, I won't let go, I never let go." Golden days. Memories I won't let go. (Monday 19 June 2023; 19:54) this is a reply to message 102,916

MB30 (102,913) by Bobby A from United States Maybe I can listen to just one song occasionally. That song is NFY. I called Music Box Tommy's control album. He was so disappointed with the heavy R&B influence and low sales of Emotions that Tommy mandated a more pop influence like MC's debut. Music Box's album cover pose is less than flattering too and one heck of a boring album cover. It reminds me of what Tommy was trying to do to suffocate MC by having her pose like young opera singer at a New York concert hall full of middle-aged married couples. MB is just one boring album from start to finish. Thank God two years later, MC gave us the beautiful Daydream. (Sunday 18 June 2023; 17:52)

MB30 (102,914) by The Real Deal from USA I disagree. MC always speaks fondly of the Dreamlover and Anytime You Need A Friend videos in post 2000s interviews. She even released an alternative video version of Anytime You Need A Friend a few years back. In addition, she sang and posted an acapella of Everything Fades Away backstage with singer JoJo. The only thing she has dismissed is Hero but says she appreciates it now. (Monday 19 June 2023; 03:46)

Generative AI (102,912) by Chicago Lamb from USA When Mariah's biopic goes into production, I imagine they will use AI in some capacity much like Whitney's "I Wanna Dance with Somebody". Mariah's voice has been different on each album. Not just tone but stylistically also. It's one of the reasons I collected so many of her singles. I never knew what she was going to do next or how. I was hooked. (Sunday 18 June 2023; 12:03) this is a reply to message 102,908

Generative AI (102,908) by Critter from USA I can't wait for some computer wiz to recreate all ballads post-Daydream era using MC's young voice (aka whispery voice done right). I often wonder if Butterfly could be re-sung using the voice in Can't Let Go. I'd be in heaven. WDYT? (Sunday 18 June 2023; 03:12)
