Chaka Khan (102,285) by Bill from the UK "Like in Loverboy Mariah should live the motto of 'hate on me as much as you want to, you can't do what the [...] I do, bishes be emulating me dailyyyy'." That's probably why nobody likes her. (Saturday 4 March 2023; 12:37) this is a reply to message 102,284

Chaka Khan (102,284) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter No matter how much money you put on an artist they can't have continuous success if they didn't have an X factor. And Mariah has it. She's not only a remarkable vocalist, she's a songwriter, she had an elusive persona, a sexy girl next door persona, and an outsider looking in persona. There's more to Mariah Carey than her voice, she was the whole package and that's why Tommy's investment paid off. Mariah saw a low phase after Tommy only because he was actively sabotaging her. She came back like a Phoenix with TEOM. How many artists can claim to still be as relevant as her after 3 decades. Haters (like Miss Chaka) can attribute her success to men and labels but Mariah is Mariah because she was born to be a star. Like in Loverboy Mariah should live the motto of "hate on me as much as you want to, you can't do what the [...] I do, bishes be emulating me dailyyyy". (Saturday 4 March 2023; 05:30)

Chaka Khan (102,282) by Bobby A from United States Why do you think that MC is disliked by so many female artists? Could it be the Tommy Motolla effect? How many other female artists have had so enormous push and financial investment from their label like MC had? None that I can think of. From 1990-1999, there were no other female artists bigger than MC and other female singers disliked MC during that time for it. Once the Tommy Mottolla effect wavered, MC's popularity decreased and the haters started speaking. To be honest, Tommy, MC and Sony did make a mighty team during her popularity and chart reign. Taylor Swift would have never had the same chart success like MC did in 90s. And Chaka is just mad because of what she could never achieve as a solo artist like MC did. (Friday 3 March 2023; 23:54)

Chaka Khan (102,276) by Mirage_Nunez from America I agree. How disappointing. And I am a huge Chaka Khan fan, she has always been in my top 3 (maybe even 2 behind MC), so I won't take that away from her, but I found her commentary very distasteful especially what she said about MJB. She don't deserve to be blasted like that publicly. I'm just gonna chose to chalk it up as the side effects of drug abuse. (Thursday 2 March 2023; 23:30)

Legends (102,281) by Mariahsbaby from usa [censored] She remains a legend whom I don't listen to, well aside from Whitney and Mary's covers of her songs. Lmfao. Some of the girls and boys are still so salty, how Mariah came into the scene and completely took over, the girl could really really sing and then we find out that she wrote, produced and made the vocal arrangements. Mariah is the greatest and the most talented artist/musician. We will "Carey" on. (Friday 3 March 2023; 14:18)

Chaka Khan and MCArchives (102,279) by Brad from USA Chaka: Classless MCArchives: I've been there for all 25.

Chaka Khan (102,274) by Randy from USA Said Mariah was ranked #5 on Rolling Stone's best singers of all time due to payola. Basically implying Mariah getting all of her props due to paying out money. I love Chaka Khan but she downtalked Adele, Mary J. Blige as well because they ranked ahead of her. Chaka Khan was #29. I would think that someone who has been in the business for so long would know better to take journalists' bait to create sound bites. Clips from interviews in which you talk bad about people who outsell you make you sound bitter. And when your wigs look like you skinned Snuffleupagus and you have had a drug/alcohol problem for over 50 years, you really shouldn't throw stones anywhere near your glass house.

Chaka Khan (102,275) by Bobby A from United States Have y'all heard Chaka sing live lately? Her voice is not there anymore. She is mad because she has really never been seen as a great singer, but just a great performer with Rufus in the 70's. (Thursday 2 March 2023; 22:37) this is a reply to message 102,274

Parker Lewis (102,271) by MusicfanJ from Germany I watched this series again on DVD (it was great fun when I was a child). On episode two there was a poster from Mariah's debut on the wall of the store where Parker was the help. Pure 90ies. I'm smiling all over my face. It aired on 09.09.90 and Mariah was enchanting and rocking the music world. (Tuesday 28 February 2023; 15:12)

Hype for new album (102,270) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, I've always loved the mystery about her and her music. Golden days. It would be fantastic to experience this once again. (Tuesday 28 February 2023; 13:37) this is a reply to message 102,269

Hype for new album (102,269) by Edward from USA She should concentrate on putting good music out. At this point she won't be selling a lot, but new music would give her some relevancy. Marian [sic] used to have a veil of mystery, so I appreciate her being quiet and let the music do the talking. Every time she hypes something up, it ends up being a disappointment.

Hype for new album (102,268) by Bobby A from United States It seems to me MC no longer posts videos of her in the studio to hype up the anticipation of a new album. If she is going to release anything new, whether new album or [compilation] again, the chances that it ever will sell anywhere near Memoirs is unlikely. I am feeling MC is apprehensive about any new release because of public scrutiny that is will not be a huge hit. (Monday 27 February 2023; 03:49)

W Magazine (102,266) by Bobby A from United States Somehow I managed to picked up a copy of MC on the cover of W Magazine at Barnes and Nobles with an extensive interview and gorgeous photos including a 2 pages of a magazine photo shoot prep pictures with Roc and Roe. The title on the cover is "All We Want for the Holidays Is Mariah Carey." Did we talk about this W Magazine feature last November/December? There are plenty on Ebay. (Sunday 26 February 2023; 00:07)

The duets album is finally upon us (102,265) by T from USA I found this article entitled: Mariah Carey re-signs with Epic after 15 years away from eight years ago in 2015 when went back to Sony and LA Reid and interestingly enough the first project talked about was an updated greatest hits re-done in a form of a duets album. Now we know LA Reid didn't get his way back then and he ultimately was fired and she released a new studio album, but now that she's working with him again it seems like the duets, redo of her greatest hits may actually be happening in the form of the Butterfly Lounge. We already heard Close My Eyes 2020, WBT 2021, and The Roof with Brandy 2022. (Saturday 25 February 2023; 16:29)

TikTok video with Kim K. (102,263) by MusicfanJ from Germany I can't stand the Kardashians. Why are they so famous in the US? They are rich, one is a model and married with Mr. Kanye West. But for me they are boring celebrities'. Pure self-promoter. I don't need a TikTok video, new music is needed. But somehow I have a feeling that there won't come a new album soon. I hope I'm wrong. But as always I'm happy to listen to her music catalogue. But there must be more hidden music, I'm still waiting for another Rarities.

TikTok video with Kim K. (102,262) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I'm living for the video becauseI love both Mariah and Kim. I am wondering if they're cooking something up together. Kim's shapewear brand Skims always does a lot of collaborations like she had all the OG supermodels for her "Icons" collection, then she had Megan Fox, recently she had the 2 girls from the comedic hit "White Lotus" for valentine's collection so I wonder if she'll have a "Diva's" range or if this a project of Marian's. Like why would Mariah be at Kim's house. I would love to be a fly on the wall for that chat haha. Mariah had previously subtly shaded Kardashians but recently warmed up to them starting with the AIWFCIY celebrity edition, then following Kris Jenner and posting photos with Kris. The Kardashians have always from the start been Mariah stand. I have seen countless times them playing Marian's songs on all the sister's stories including Kendall and Kylie. Kendall even recently used "Fantasy" in one of her perfume ads along with paying homage to the "Honey" pool dive scene. So I would love to know what lead to this TikTok collab. Right after this, Kim and Kylie also did the "It's a wrap" challenge. (Saturday 25 February 2023; 01:17)

Black Irish (102,255) by Mariahsbaby from usa Mariah won the trademark thing, they sold the name. All Mariah does is win win win. It will for sure hit the international markets and with the right promotion including sending a bottle to her celebrity friends and fans lol and doing more singing promo ads. It will do wonders. I personally love this drink although I hate to drink. (Thursday 23 February 2023; 17:22)
