Re: Minimum make up (99,443) (99,446) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, I also love the natural look on her. Very pretty. "Hotel Transilvania" is such a funny animated movie series by the way. It's good to see MC is having some fun. Mr. Dracula looks cool too. (Sunday 16 January 2022; 21:10)

Re: Lil Love (99,438) (99,445) by Terna from Nigeria Yeah sure recall it, that was when she reconnected with Bone Thugs, 2007 I believe. She was drop dead gorge in that video too. Downloaded it recently after forgetting all about it. Haha. (Sunday 16 January 2022; 19:45)

Re: Caution (99,442) (99,444) by Bill from the UK I'll never understand why MC dragged Caution. Everyone, fans and critics alike, rated it as a really concise, tight, clever album that actually presented her correctly in terms of vocals. MIAM before it was like a Frankenstein album, pitched up and spliced and auto tuned and manufactured to the point that it didn't even sound like Mariah anymore. Caution was a really moody, somewhat dark album that I loved. Giving Me Life, The Distance, Stay Long Love You etc. The only misstep for me was GTFO. Whilst sonically I loved it, lyrically it was the worst thing she ever did. Even Crapfinity was better. Wait, no it wasn't. My playlist has the instrumental of it, and adds I Don't and Unforgettable, which actually go really well alongside the other tracks. (Sunday 16 January 2022; 16:08)

Minimum make up (99,443) by Jamie from UK Love how MC looks in her latest Insta pic big curls, minimum makeup and just naturally beautiful. (Sunday 16 January 2022; 11:51)

Caution (99,442) by Bobby A from United States Caution to me always felt like that album unlike any other MC album. It had a messy rollout, wrong single choices and she bashed it a year later during interviews. It should only have been released in Japan like Monica did All Eyez On Me in 2002. After some personal sorrows, she released After The Storm in 2003. (Sunday 16 January 2022; 03:11)

Re: Lil Love (99,440) (99,441) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Li'l Loveis always in my playlist. Love that song. (Saturday 15 January 2022; 20:44)

Re: Lil Love (99,439) (99,440) by Bobby A from United States Me too. R&B radio played it all the time when I lived in Memphis. (Saturday 15 January 2022; 19:39)

Re: Lil Love (99,438) (99,439) by Edward from USA I've always loved "Lil Love". See, that's what you call a great collabo even when there were four acts on it. I played it so much I thought the mp3 was going to get corrupted, lol. I still listen to it every now and then. I also love "One and Only Part II", but I prefer the version on Twista's album.

Lil Love (99,438) by Bobby A from United States How many of you remember this jam? I finally found a copy of Strength and Loyalty at my local 2nd and Charles. Her vocals are not that great in 2007, but the whistles notes are hot. (Saturday 15 January 2022; 17:43)

Re: How Greatest Hits should've played out (99,435) (99,437) by T from USA I know. I just wish it all could've been different with a big greatest hits package in 2015 on her 25th anniversary. #1's could've even been a bigger seller if they kept up with that one instead of having GH released three years after #1's. (Saturday 15 January 2022; 14:51)

Re: Acting roles (99,434) (99,436) by Edward from USA Robert-Anthony is just being sarcastic. We all know Mariah can't act for shit. Well, bringing her own lighting and keeping her shots in soft focus is not acting. (Saturday 15 January 2022; 13:32)

Re: How Greatest Hits should've played out (99,430) (99,435) by 123 from USA In her book she said when she renegotiated her deal to leave Sony she was required to give them a greatest hits album. That's why by the time they finally released it after she left she barely promoted it. (Saturday 15 January 2022; 12:50)

Re: Acting roles (99,426) (99,434) by TJ from Norway Lose what? Is there anyone here who really thinks she can act? (Saturday 15 January 2022; 12:38)

Re: Acting roles (99,432) (99,433) by Bobby A from United States I am serious, Edward. (Saturday 15 January 2022; 07:18)

Re: Acting roles (99,426) (99,432) by Edward from USA You're so funny, Robert-Anthony. I can't stop laughing. Great joke. (Saturday 15 January 2022; 01:06)

Weight loss (99,431) by Bobby A from United States Am correct that MC showed major weight loss in 2008 and 2013? I know 2008 was her fittest time since 1990. I think that she used a trainer in 2008 compared to 2013. Her voice was in the best shape since the Charmbracelet era. But GMA performance premature backing track embarrassed MC and the buying public noticed that she was no longer the Voice. (Saturday 15 January 2022; 01:01)

How Greatest Hits should've played out (99,430) by T from USA I know that GH became a big seller for Mariah but it also ate away at her catalog sales and #1s album at the time. Instead I wish Sony just updated #1's with the two tracks in 2001. Then Greatest Hits could've come out as a joint project between Sony/Universal in 2015 with a three disc set. 45 songs. Obviously, #1's could have once again been reissued in 2021 (twenty years later) to include AIWFCIY. Leaving the same classic cover in place. That's how I wish it played out.

Re: Forbes fail (99,423) (99,427) (99,429) by 123 from USA But Forbes isn't a chart magazine, so why discuss the song dropping from the charts after the holiday season. Why not discuss all of the lucrative deals and financial power the song has managed to give an artist 30 years into their career. Not everyone has that. The song is an anomaly and has grown bigger than Mariah herself. The fact that each year it gets bigger and bigger should be looked into. Not the obvious chart performance after the season. Do we need an article telling us that? It's just common sense no? Just my thoughts. (Friday 14 January 2022; 21:57)

Article: The number ones: Mariah Carey's "I'll Be There" (99,428) by emancipatedlamb from UK I think whoever wrote this article is sick in the head. It's one thing to be contradictory of ones own points - that is often the case with people who "comment" (not report, because the "author" of this piece o' something, is not a reporter) on MC articles. But to describe Eric Clapton's tribute to child as a "dead-kid lullaby", tells me that not only are you heartless, but will likely never know what it means to beget a child into this world, because if you did, you would never describe someone's loss in a manner so disrespectfully inhumane. (Friday 14 January 2022; 21:50)

Re: Forbes fail (99,423) (99,427) by Bill from the UK Hmmm. They weren't number one though. I don't see the article as bashing or negative. Just a fun tidbit. I wouldn't get that wound up over it. (Friday 14 January 2022; 20:04)

Acting roles (99,426) by Bobby A from United States I wonder why MC has not received any acting roles lately. She's going to lose her acting skills if she doesn't use them. (Friday 14 January 2022; 20:01)

Christmas Princess (99,425) by Anonymous from UK The Christmas Princess has been announced now because the worldwide book fairs are held in the first few months of the year, and with/at them, international publishing rights are sold, the book is marketed, scope and demand is gauged.

I'm not concerned with Mariah's voice (99,424) by Lara from Middle East Most people will go and say she lost her voice, she's hiding it between smoke and mirrors. I might agree with that, her voice isn't as powerful as before, but for me it's her tone and huskiness, the fact that when you hear it on the radio you can immediately reconignize it that makes special and I couldn't care less about whistles and belting. Stromae released new songs after a hiatus of 7 years and that man has no voice but his songs, their lyrics, productions are just genius. It's like Mariah Carey before 2008 but without her voice, which brings me to my concern. What I am concerned about is her musicality, her layering and ad libs are messy, lyrics not relatable anymore. You can't have a melody from her songs. I want Mariah to have a work similar to Caution where you feel the production is really good but lyrically more deep. Videos that are not focusing on her physical appearance, maybe the bipolar medications are affecting this genius side of hers? (Friday 14 January 2022; 17:01)

Re: Forbes fail (99,422) (99,423) by 123 from USA Yes but usually the top three slots are Christmas tunes and the same thing happens to them as well. But no mention of them. Mariah tends to get bashed unfairly with these articles. It's pointless because of course if it's a seasonal song it's going to disappear after the season, it's common sense. Do we really need an article about it. I would think Forbes would be focused on writing an article of the finances this song brings her each year with all of the multiple deals her team sets up surrounding the song's popularity each Christmas. (Friday 14 January 2022; 15:56)

Re: Forbes fail (99,420) (99,422) by Bill from the UK I think it's mainly because it goes from Number 1 to completely out of the chart, which is more newsworthy than if it was at, say, number 48 or 76 like some of the other Christmas tunes. (Friday 14 January 2022; 12:45)
