Re: Billboard cover (99,826) (99,827) by Bill from the UK Agree, it is dreadful. (Thursday 3 March 2022; 15:06)

Billboard cover (99,826) by Zachariah from Croatia Cover is a big no. It looks like Donna from "Suits", who I adore but she ain't no Mariah. (Thursday 3 March 2022; 13:40)

Re: Tommy's Mariah (part 3) breaking down (99,823) (99,825) by Chicago Lamb from USA I hope most of you guys realize that the Mariah we know and love today is a product of a symbiotic relationship with Tommy. Without a crystal ball, we just don't know who Mariah would be without having worked so closely with him. When you work/live with the boss, there are things learned about "the business" that give you an incredible edge. Obviously this knowledge was beneficial in creating longevity in the industry. Boo-hoo, it was a tough marriage. Mariah was an adult walking into the relationship and has her reservations and regrets. Frankly, I wouldn't change history between them one bit. Mariah love all day.

Re: Favourite ending (99,809) (99,824) by Bill from the UK Haha, no there is some truth to what you say, albeit not necessarily in Europe. In Japan the album releases for most artists always had a bonus track. This was because, due to their economy, it was cheaper to import a CD from the US/elsewhere than it was to buy locally, so bonus tracks were added to encourage local purchases. In Europe, it was expensive to import from the US. I curse that I had to build my collection in the 90s as the US single imports were a lot of money. I remember the 2 track Dreamlover CD was almost £10. Back then, that was a lot of money for two tracks. But luckily the UK in particular was blessed with gorgeous picture discs, exclusive remixes, unique picture sleeves etc. We were treated very well indeed. (Thursday 3 March 2022; 11:11)

Re: Tommy's Mariah (part 3) breaking down (99,813) (99,823) by TJ from Norway It's clear to me that Mariah is not the only one who is eternal 12. (Thursday 3 March 2022; 11:03)

Re: Tommy's Mariah (part 3) breaking down (99,817) (99,822) by Steven Berning from USA Yes girl! Preach! (Thursday 3 March 2022; 06:43)

Re: Tommy's Mariah (part 3) breaking down (99,818) (99,821) by Edward from USA Robert-Anthony, we all post here and we know people could comment on those posts, that's a fact. Somebody got their feelings hurt because a fellow board member disagreed with them and they decided to throw a few ridiculous tantrums as if they were 5. Whitney Houston once said: crack is wack, and I agree. (Thursday 3 March 2022; 03:56)

Re: Tommy's Mariah (part 3) breaking down (99,817) (99,820) by Edward from USA Well, given the fact I never addressed you or made any comment on any of your recent posts, and that you've come here attacking me, I have come to the conclusion that you're on crack or something, there's no other explanation. And that wasn't shade, that was a statement. If you don't want people's opinion on your posts, simply don't post. If you're afraid of getting your feelings hurt because someone here disagrees with you, then you shouldn't be posting, you should be in therapy. (Thursday 3 March 2022; 03:48)

Re: Billboard magazine cover (99,816) (99,819) by tadatorao from japan True the cover is just horrible. The shape of face is wrong and the eyes are way too close. Search Yam Karkai and you will see that the illustrator is just illustrating herself. That is a typical sign of self-important artists. Indeed all of her portraits look the same, just digitally duplicated. (Thursday 3 March 2022; 03:04)

Re: Tommy's Mariah (part 3) breaking down (99,817) (99,818) by Bobby A from United States Can't we all just get along on here. I know, nobody asked you Robert-Anthony. Hurry up, MC. We need some new music. (Thursday 3 March 2022; 02:39)

Re: Tommy's Mariah (part 3) breaking down (99,810) (99,817) by 123 from USA And here comes Edward wanting to get into a conversation that has nothing to do with him to foster more back and forth between Ribbon and I. Push on Edward, find some attention elsewhere. I know you love to throw shade and it looks like your attempt to recruit the final foursome for your Mean Girls Clique is complete. Why don't you, the Nutty Professor, the English Ragamuffin, and your new recruit make your own fan hate site. I don't need you trying to come braid my hair, respect social distance guidelines and keep your Omarion to yourself please. (Thursday 3 March 2022; 02:14)

Billboard magazine cover (99,816) by Brad from USA No. (Thursday 3 March 2022; 02:12)

Billboard cover (99,815) by RibbonB from USA Congrats to Mariah, but that cover looks like Gina Torres if she straightened her hair. How exciting for Mimi. New music please Mariah, before Robert Anthony explodes. (Thursday 3 March 2022; 02:07)

Re: Tommy's Mariah (part 3) breaking down (99,812) (99,814) by 123 from USA I didn't ask for your feedback or anyone else's. I was just sharing for those that might be interested. Y'all so sad and negative here. Find some happiness. If you want to join the Negative Nancy Clique go right ahead but don't come over here with it. (Thursday 3 March 2022; 02:04)

Re: Tommy's Mariah (part 3) breaking down (99,802) (99,813) by 123 from USA You need some attention that bad TJ from Norway? There is giving your opinion and there is being just plain negative. If you want to bash and be shady, don't respond to my posts. Mind the business that pays you. (Thursday 3 March 2022; 02:01)

Re: Tommy's Mariah (part 3) breaking down (99,810) (99,812) by RibbonB from USA Lol, well you've been quiet and good lately. I ignore quite a lot too, but I had a moment the other day just to chime in. I guess he didn't like my feedback. Big shrug. (Wednesday 2 March 2022; 22:11)

Re: The next Twitter Spaces (99,806) (99,811) by Bill from the UK I need to see this Mariah book Bobby. (Wednesday 2 March 2022; 18:51)

Re: Tommy's Mariah (part 3) breaking down (99,803) (99,810) by Edward from USA Come on RibbonC, we all say that, but we read them anyway. We need some drama here, everything is being kind of boring on the board lately. (Wednesday 2 March 2022; 18:02)

Re: Favourite ending (99,808) (99,809) by Edward from USA I'm not pulling a Nikki here. CDs have always been cheaper here. They realized many fans were importing them from magazines and stuff. That problem was solved by giving bonus tracks to fans, mostly in Europe, it didn't come out of the pureness of their hearts. Most people in the US assumed you got the same stuff as here, so we didn't feel the need to import anything. Many fans, including me, didn't know anything EFA until about five years after, and because it was on the internet, as a stand alone track, then later on I found out it was the bonus track for the international fans on the Music Box CD. There are many many people who even 10 years ago didn't know anything about it. And yes, I tried to import #1's from Europe, but just because at the time we were getting more connected through the internet and I knew what the trick was. Once music was digitally available, it didn't make much sense anymore, they kept doing, but this time they didn't care much about quality, they would pull a leftover track and added it to the final product. It's good we agree on something though, EFA is definitely a great track, better than many tracks on some of her albums. (Wednesday 2 March 2022; 17:53)

Re: Favourite ending (99,807) (99,808) by Bill from the UK Lol, but by that logic, wouldn't you all have to buy the imported albums and singles from Europe so you could have all her remixes and bonus tracks? (Wednesday 2 March 2022; 15:00)

Re: Favourite ending (99,805) (99,807) by Edward from USA It's just they wanted you guys to keep buying albums and singles over there at a higher price instead of importing them from here at a fraction of the price. While I adore both tracks, they were bonus tracks for the international fans. Own it! Anyway, I'm going to wear my Mariah perfume now. (Wednesday 2 March 2022; 04:17)

Re: The next Twitter Spaces (99,804) (99,806) by Bobby A from United States Okay. Gonna jot down your prediction in my Mariah book. (Wednesday 2 March 2022; 03:48)

Re: Favourite ending (99,799) (99,805) by Bill from the UK DYKWYGT (TFM) was such an elegant end to the #1's album. It's odd how Sony International treated Europe and the other regions better than her home turf. Even the single releases over here had more exclusives and unique mixes that didn't appear in the US. And we had the better end to Music Box. (Tuesday 1 March 2022; 21:12)

Re: The next Twitter Spaces (99,801) (99,804) by T from USA Nothing new until September. That’s the word on the street. So be patient. (Tuesday 1 March 2022; 19:41)

Re: Tommy's Mariah (part 3) breaking down (99,800) (99,803) by RibbonB from USA Don't drop click bait if you don't want an honest response. But yeah, I will just ignore your posts based on this one. Lastly the title alone is patronizing and offensive, IMO. Like she would really stream Tommy's Mariah? (Tuesday 1 March 2022; 19:35)
