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.

DC performance (40,150) by Stacey from USA What this performance proves is Mariah is human. Some days she is on, sounding great, and some days she is off. This was an off night. I'm sure haters will drag this out. But if anyone can bounce back, it's MC, especially during her favorite time of year: Christmas. I mean if the haters want to keep it going, all we have to do is play that impromptu performance on Fallon. (Monday 9 December 2013; 22:59)

Will (40,055) by Stacey from USA I love One Child! Probably my favorite song off MCIIY. Such a great song with wonderful lyrics, arrangement, etc. As a Christian, I love how MC has fun songs on her albums like Oh Santa or AIWFCIY, but then she'll include religious songs like One Child or JTTW to remind us why we celebrate Christmas.

Another person bites the dust (39,929) by Stacey from USA Some will never learn. We are all just expressing opinions, not claiming to be experts. So stop trying to shut down good entertaining discussions simply because you don't agree with the thoughts being shared. Peace. (Thursday 21 November 2013; 5:27)

Good vibes (39,869) by Stacey from USA I know some have expressed concern over a 3:30 am FB post, but most of comments of TAOLG have been quite positive. No? Her voice is stellar on this song. The disjointedness may grow on me as I listen more and get a better feel for the song. Many have expressed those same thoughts. I see a general like of the song with many of the comments posted, unless I am on some alternative Archives website reality, lol. (Sunday 17 November 2013; 4:05)

clueey23 (39,863) by Stacey from USA You addressed everyone on this board in your original post, hence why I responded. Clarify next time. Just saying. By the way, you need to read closer too. You misspelled my name, lol. Oh and don't call me sweetie. You don't know me from sliced bread either enough to address me that way, lol. I think you are blowing the whole negative energy thing way out of proportion. Just a few have expressed a concern over a long FB post MC made in the middle of the night. It seemed odd. But, if it's nothing to worry about, then it's nothing. Most here love the song and the vibe has been quite good. So chill. It ain't that deep. (Saturday 16 November 2013; 18:56)

clueey23 (39,846) by Stacey from USA I think you need to be a bit careful who you call crazy. Speaking personally, since you addressed everyone on this board in your post, not once did I ever call her crazy. I even stated how much I enjoyed the interview on Fallon. MC has always been full of tangents. Still though, leaving a long message on Facebook at 3:30 am doesn't seem a bit odd to you? That's all anyone here is saying. No one is putting her in a mental institution with any of their posts. No one is calling her crazy. Geez. But note, this is exactly how it started in 2001, random messages on her website. Let's hope it's what others like Licia and Deedre have said: stress to get the album done and done right. (Saturday 16 November 2013; 5:18)

TAOLG (39,816) by Stacey from USA It doesn't seem odd to you that MC is so upset at the wrong version being released? I know she is very involved with her music. It's one of the many reasons why I admire her so much. But still, that message seems loopy to me, like we are seeing 2001 all over again. I hope I am 100% wrong. The whole thing just seems odd to me. Anyone else? (Friday 15 November 2013; 3:42)

Mariah on Fallon (39,794) by Stacey from USA MC was all over the place, but she wasnt loopy like when she surprised Carson on TRL. C'mon, nothing compares to that TRL performance. She was not in a good place. My only criticism is that outfit. Oh my! Loose the fan, lol. Other then that, her tangents make for good TV. (Thursday 14 November 2013; 8:36)

Will (39,715), on a side note (39,758) by Stacey from USA I could not say it better. I'm torn as well. On one hand the vocals and arrangement are spot on. Yet, the lyrics seem off to me, a bit disjointed as you say. Maybe the song will grow on me over time. That's happened with many MC songs. On a side note, not everyone is going to like the song and should not be give the label of haters or whatever. So tired of that. Do all fans here love every song off every album she's ever sung? No. A bit disingenuous if you say yes. So just chill and let everyone have their say. Peace. (Tuesday 12 November 2013; 18:50)

Andrew (39,698) by Stacey from USA Just a friendly reminder that it's not your place to decide who is a fan and who is not. I'm 36 and find it a bit odd to call myself a lamb, yet others feel differently and that's ok. I've followed her for 20 years, bought every album, even did a little trading and collecting for a time. So just chill and let fans do what they will. You know you'll buy the album and support her. Who cares what others do? Peace. (Sunday 10 November 2013; 3:35)

Eric, criticisms (39,594) by Stacey from USA Eric, I can almost guarantee someone will find fault with people who post an opinion criticizing something MC does. I hesitated posting my thoughts because I knew someone would try and group us all as haters. It's honestly comical to me at this point, lol. (Tuesday 29 October 2013; 21:41)

Excited for the song (39,591) by Stacey from USA But the cover art? Not so much. I'm kinda tired of the whole bathing suit thing (videos, etc.). I'll leave it at that. Peace. (Tuesday 29 October 2013; 17:58)

TAOLG / lip synching (39,562) by Stacey from USA A string orchestra with a jazzy feel, well at least a few notes I heard gave me that impression. I'm intrigued. As far as lipping, I'll leave it at this: I'd rather her lip and not strain her voice too. My saying she lips has never ever been a criticism. Oh, and even with a few notes at the end of FLAB lipped, that Grammy performance was amazing. She shut up her critics who had counted her out. That's something we can all agree on. (Friday 25 October 2013; 19:18)

Joe (39,548) by Stacey from USA The 2006 Grammy performance was awesome. The WBT part, first, second verse and choruses of FLAB were 100% live. My only objection to the medley being all live was the end of FLAB where as Joyce put it, she did more theatrics, turning around, etc. But, it's ok if some disagree with me. I don't take someone disagreeing with me so personal. Know what I mean? I too am excited to hear a new MC song. (Wednesday 23 October 2013; 23:52)

Joe (39,538) by Stacey from USA That was me who mentioned the Grammys 2006 performance. I stand by what I say, even if some disagree with me. Who cares? All singers lip, so let's move on. (Wednesday 23 October 2013; 3:31)

Singers lip (39,537) by Stacey from USA The best of singers lip, end of discussion. Moving on. (Wednesday 23 October 2013; 3:30)

Vocal peak (39,528) by Stacey from USA Emotions is a great album, one to be appreciated and admired for what Mariah accomplished vocally on that album. Even MC herself has said Civiles and Cole pushed her voice to the stratosphere on Emotions and MIH. But someone who says that was her vocal peak has not heard Merry Christmas, Daydream, or TEOM. Yeah, go listen to Circles and that octave run she has toward the end of the song around minute 2:42. Brilliant. Sure, things have changed, she's had to adjust keys of songs and such. I mean, if you want to clearly say what her vocal peak was, I'd argue Butterfly to Rainbow. But even then that's not a fair statement because she has had so many amazing songs since then that show she still has it. Grammys 2006 anyone? (Tuesday 22 October 2013; 7:24)

Rock and a hard place (39,518) by Stacey from USA It wad nice to see Walter A. speak so highly of MC even after all these years. You can only imagine the tough spot he was in during Tommy and Mariah's breakup. He loves working with MC, but is employed by Sony. Tough spot. I do hope they work together again and let the past stay where it belongs. On a side note, I think My All sounds perfect. I think strings would have taken away from the raw emotion of the song. (Saturday 19 October 2013; 2:27)

Emotions (39,512) by Stacey from USA That album just shows what an amazing voice MC has. Some of the notes she hits on Emotions and even Make It Happen are simply phenomenal. Even she was surprised Civiles and Cole could get her to sing that high. Till the End Of Time has got to be one of my top 5 ballads. The emotional intensity of that song is unmatched. (Friday 18 October 2013; 18:13)

Rashidi Rahim (39,492) by Stacey from USA I completely agree. I am super excited to have new music from two of my favorite singers. I love MC and Celine equally. Both fill different musical tastes for me. It will be nice to have new music to rock my new guy too. (Tuesday 15 October 2013; 23:27)

New song (39,485) by Stacey from USA I am super excited. I'll have a new MC song to rock my new baby to sleep. The new guy will arrive a few days after the song is released. (Tuesday 15 October 2013; 5:31)

Who cares, really? (39,460) by Stacey from USA I care to worry about MC news that matters rather than concern myself with nutjobs that only serve to waste my time. Peace. (Sunday 13 October 2013; 6:25)

Carla (39,415) by Stacey from USA I agree 100% with your last post. Well written. Let's give it a chance. It might be ok. JD definitely has no problem telling MC "no" and that is what she needs. It's what any artist needs. Too many "yes" people around you is not good. You need someone strong enough willing to stand up and say "no, let's try this direction". As talented as MC is, she isn't right all the time. And she can stand up to JD if her idea is indeed really good and needs to be heard. I'm inclined to think it might work. We'll see. (If the rumor is true. Any further thoughts?) (Monday 7 October 2013; 17:04)

Dupri and MC (39,393) by Stacey from USA I'm willing to see this one out before making a judgement. Randy is a great guy, and no doubt knows the music business, but JD has worked closely with Mariah musically for years, producing some amazing songs. So, I'm inclined to say let's give it a chance. My only reservation is MC needs people around her willing to say "no". JD has done that in the past. He's the one who insisted WBT be sung with full voice vocals. I remember reading somewhere MC wanted the whisper and JD said no. If that's the case, then maybe him managing her will be a good thing. Only time will tell. (Thursday 3 October 2013; 19:57)

Mariah's evergreens (39,380) by Stacey from USA Um, MC has more evergreens than she knows what to do with, lol. Just look at her concert set lists over the past 10-15 years. No fan is ever pleased, always feeling she left out a favorite of theirs. Why? She has so many great songs to choose from. (Thursday 3 October 2013; 1:04)
