Re: Charmbracelet (92,577) (92,578) by Tijl from Belgium That should have been "tantrum". Lol. (Friday 24 January 2020; 15:26)

Re: Charmbracelet (92,575) (92,577) by Tijl from Belgium Be careful to use "cohesive body of work". Some people get into a trantrum. (Friday 24 January 2020; 15:02)

Re: Mariah (92,500) (92,507) by Tijl from Belgium "Butterfly" will not be surpassed I am afraid. I do enjoy "Caution" because of te cohesive storyline but it lacks the depth and the lyrical genius of her magnus opus. The stories she tells in songs such as "The Roof" and "Close My Eyes" are timeless and relevant to so many people because they are poignant without being overtly blatant about somebody or certain situations. "Caution" is a snack compared to the fine dining of "Butterfly". (Monday 20 January 2020; 17:44)

Re: Celine vs. Mariah (92,422) (92,424) by Tijl from Belgium Mmmm perhaps. "I Will Always Love You" is Whitney's best known song yet I don't find it emotionally appealing. There is an avalanche of belting and high notes which is out of this world but I doesn't affect me. And yes, I think Céline is batshit crazy. This video is the ultimate proof.

Re: Boy (I Need You) part 2 (92,419) (92,421) by Tijl from Belgium That remix was pow. (Friday 17 January 2020; 14:30)

Re: Celine vs. Mariah (92,415) (92,420) by Tijl from Belgium I respect Céline Dion tremendously for her technical prowess but emotionally she does absolutely nothing for me. Mariah gets to me. Especially with heartfelt ballads such as "Looking In" and "TAOLG". The fact that she has written these lyrics lift her material to a higher level. I understand that the general public adores #1 ballads as "My Heart Will Go On" and Whitney's "I Will Always Love You" as they showcase strong vocal capability yet I feel they lack honest and true emotions.

Re: I Have a Vision of Flop (92,268) (92,280) by Tijl from Belgium I iron daily, especially shirts for that matter. I don't have pickĺes for breakfast though. You are ash, I am lotion. (Saturday 11 January 2020; 20:19)

Re: I Have a Vision of Flop (92,259) (92,266) by Tijl from Belgium I will pray for your well being. So sad. (Saturday 11 January 2020; 10:31)

Re: Yummy? (92,242) (92,250) by Tijl from Belgium I checked the video on YouTube this morning and... really? If this is all Bieber can pull out of his sleeve after four years of supposed personal growth? It can hardly be referred to as a song. And the video stinks just as much. (Friday 10 January 2020; 10:44)

Re: I Have a Vision of Flop (92,248) (92,249) by Tijl from Belgium It is truly amazing that more than half a year before the official release of the book you can predict the content, cover and sales figures. Mindblowing. (Friday 10 January 2020; 10:38)

Re: E=MC2 era (92,157) (92,176) by Tijl from Belgium Don't forget that when Mariah signed with Sony she basically still was a child with no knowledge about nor the insights on how the business really works. By the time they separated she was a different woman. Life and its perils shapes and changes people. (Monday 6 January 2020; 10:24)

2019 (91,987) by Tijl from Belgium What a year this has been for MC. Despite most media outlets calling her a legacy artist or irrelevant, look at the accolades and achievements of this last year: - Billboard Icon Award - Ivor Novello Awards: PRS for Music Special International Award - Variety Power of Women: award for her philantropic work with the Fresh Air Fund - Guinness World Records: the best-selling and most recognizable Christmas song, most streamed song on Spotify in 24 hours, most weeks in the UK singles top 10 chart for a Christmas song - she reached the #1 spot with AIWFCIY - the record for the most #singles for a single female artist on the Billboard Hot 100 - first Christmas song to reach #1 since 1958 - MC achieved a record-extending 81st week at number-one on the Hot 100 To be continued. Hail to the queen. (Friday 27 December 2019; 16:37)

Re: Walter A. gets really candid (91,833) (91,849) by Tijl from Belgium Let's agree that back in the '90s MC and Walter A. created magic. Then life happened and they went their own merry way. They have moved on and so should we. But we love everybody. (Saturday 21 December 2019; 10:00)

Re: New video (91,802) (91,804) by Tijl from Belgium I love the scenes with the choreography against the Art Deco background. A nice reference to all these Old Hollywood musicals. MC does old style glamour very well. (Friday 20 December 2019; 10:29)

Re: Is it wrong of me? (91,764) (91,768) by Tijl from Belgium No not really. This is a timeless classic where the others are very much a reflection a their era. No need to compare them. (Wednesday 18 December 2019; 22:05)

19th #1 (91,672) by Tijl from Belgium She did it.. Another world record for Mariah. Her PR team really upped their game this season which has surely helped tremendously. What a fantastic year for our girl. (Monday 16 December 2019; 19:19)

Re: Merry Christmas (91,638) (91,645) by Tijl from Belgium I believe she has found some peace within herself. During the Stella era she was "off". If one watches her interviews during that time, her eyes are empty and dead. No wonder because that leechy creature was exploiting her into shreds. And I am rather certain that Tanaka makes her feel confident as he seems to be a nice guy who genuinely cares about her for the human being and not only the global superstar she is.

Re: Happy times (91,611) (91,630) by Tijl from Belgium Heartwarming. All the best to you. (Saturday 14 December 2019; 10:18)

Re: Get off auto pilot, Mariah - keep creating (91,427) (91,431) by Tijl from Belgium She might just be tired of playing the game after 30 years in a very demanding business, always defending oneself. She is still standing yet plays it by her own rules by now. It is not as she could become a non-celebrity all the sudden. At times it must feel as being trapped on a treadmill. Used to a particular lifestyle with both the benefits and the entrapments that come with it. Respect. (Friday 22 November 2019; 11:03)

Caution's anniversary (91,357) by Tijl from Belgium Today marks the first anniversary of Caution, an album that caused ambiguous reactions from the Lambily. Critically acclaimed yet underwhelming on a commercial level it has grown to become a personal favourite. Mostly because it tells the exact story of my last year so it has a very special place in my heart. (Friday 15 November 2019; 17:45)

Re: No official live performance during Butterfly era (91,342) (91,349) by Tijl from Belgium She did perform a few songs from the album on the Rosie O'Donnell show. This is my absolute favorite one. (Thursday 14 November 2019; 12:13)

Re: Stop what you're doing and praise me (91,290) (91,297) by Tijl from Belgium Happy anniversary dahling. Cheers, toast, bravo. (Wednesday 6 November 2019; 17:14)

Walkers' campaign (91,161) by Tijl from Belgium On the lighter side of life - let's stop the mud throwing on here - who else is excited about Mariah's campaign for Walkers' ? I am convinced it will help catapult AIWFCIY to the #1 spot in the UK. (Friday 25 October 2019; 16:01)
