Beat (104,929) by Edward from USA

How could you've forgotten to mention the video they actually took some elements from? Cold Hearted Snake by Paula Abdul.

I love the song and video is great too. They took some elements from Paula Abdul's "Cold Hearted Snake" video.

Beat (104,927) by Bobby A from United States

Have you seen the video for Yes, And? It reminds me of Pat Benetar's Love Is A Battlefield video. J Lo's Can't Get Enough and Dua Lipa's Houdini videos are similar with a huge dance production and a women empowerment theme. Maybe this is the trend for 2024. I don't think MC has ever a huge dance production video. No, Honey and Heartbreaker don't count.

Duet with Michael Bolton (104,926) by Edward from USA

Finally. Just breathtaking. So effortless. It's a good thing the audience didn't interrupt so I can make a clean mp3 of it.

I was about to post this. Just amazing. Historic, actually. 35 years ago, is that right? Wow. Time really flies.

Beat (104,921) by Bobby A from United States

I love it. We can only hope she will become inspired by this hot new song by Ariana. Women are going to rule the charts in 2024.

Mariah needs a song with a good beat like Ariana has just dropped.
Something that's gonna get peoples attention and is catchy.

And here I thought Andrew doesn't live for our validation because he is so much better with his taste in music and his worldly views.

Album ideas (104,917) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

I'm glad it's not only me who isn't a fan of Charmbracelet. I hardly ever listen to it except for "The One". It seems to be a huge fan favorite.

What is wrong tonight? I always give you 1-2 likes and respond to some of your posts. Is the metamorphosis of a nicer Andrew getting to you?

Album ideas (104,915) by Bobby A from United States

MC should make her first true R&B jazz adult contemporary album to reach masses again. I was thinking today she is going to have to release an album with a cohesive group of live musicians who can give her a new sound so she can improvise live. Improvisation is her strength that no one else can do quite like MC. Remember the mop the floor song during one of the Christmas shows. Also, I believe MC16 is going to be the album that is going to be the true follow-up to Butterfly. I felt cheated and disappointed with Rainbow and Charmbracelet being released after the brillant Butterfly album. I know that I am not the only one who felt cheated and disappointed in 1999 and 2002.

Bored of talking and having my ideas usurped and my contributions ignored. Fifty thumbs up to this message: I'll delete and never post again.

Missy Elliot (104,913) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

STN is also a skip for me. I love the beat of "Babydoll", I love the lyrics too. It paints a picture, you can visualise the lyrics, it's like a diary entry. And I think it fits perfectly into the "Butterfly". Babydoll also reminds me of "Crybaby". They are ofcourse very different songs but both seem like entries from the diary of Mariah's sleepless nights.

JLo Hummingbird = Butterfly (104,912) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

"Gowns, beautiful gowns" is all I have to say about JLo at this point. I was reading how she blatantly copied songs not just Mariah's she stole from Usher too. Then she basically passed of other singer's vocals in her demo as her own. Since I became a lamb I have a special respect for singers who are "artists" and songwriters and people who genuinely are passionate about their craft. JLo is definitely among those.

I was checking for you on YouTube yesterday and for some weird reason they removed it but I found it on sound cloud. Enjoy

Missy Elliot (104,909) by Edward from USA

What I like about "Babydoll" is the beat, it hits hard. In my humble opinion, it's a way better song than "Stay the Night" which I always skip.

JLo Hummingbird = Butterfly (104,908) by Edward from USA

When it comes to music, Jennifer's always been like many other artists, a product. She can dance and somewhat act, but music is not one of her talents. She's accomplished whatever she has accomplished because of Selena. Had Selena been here with us today, Jennifer wouldn't be known. I've enjoyed her fist two albums and I actually like her. She sadly got caught up in Tommy's game.

JLo Hummingbird = Butterfly (104,907) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

JLo has not had a single original idea since the day she came into the limelight. Her lack of artistry and vision and talent baffles me. I don't get her appeal. She blatantly copied Mariah in a lot of things. Her only call to fame is she's got a good stylist so she stays relevant for her fashion and her "JLo Glow".

Missy Elliot (104,906) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

I will not stand for the "Babydoll" slander. That song is amazing. (For clarification for some people's mind where I live rent free - no I don't want an album full of Babydoll but I 100% enjoy the the song till date). It was peak 90s R&B vibes.

JLo Hummingbird = Butterfly (104,905) by Andrew from the UK

There is a 2015 film starring She-who-must-not-be-named titled "The Boy Next Door". It's not bad - bit run-of-the-mill but she *can* act in certain narrowband roles. There is a scene in it where thee camera is close-up on her face and she just says the word "Firecracker". I leapt off the couch, knelt in front of the television replaying those few seconds over and over and over. That one word? That one particular word referring to that one sample that she seized from Mariah's arsenal? That *one* word? One which was not required? I cannot read it any other way that it was a direct dig at Mariah. Directly through the television screen. And in so doing, was a direct dig at me and all of you. She knows if Mariah performs that the camera will be on her if she's in the audience. It will be directly in front of her to the side. And she takes out her phone?

Cannot stand the woman. She's an average singer and an average dancer, one that has used her sexuality to smurf her the way to where she is in life. She must not be named.
