Re: MC 30 (96,563) (96,572) by Will from Australia
I would die too. Last Chance is sublime. Because Mariah wrote it, I'm assuming she did a demo of it. Her background vocals on the track are amazing. Corey Rooney co-wrote it and co-produced and would later go on to do Destiny Child's (and still Beyoncé's) biggest hit Independent Women. Oh Allure, what could have been.

Long Ago / This Love mash up (96,571) by 123 from USA
For those that don't like the song, they should give this mash up a try. I've always loved Long Ago as it was one her her few album cuts the dipped deeper into the sophisticated r&b genre that last existed in the 90s. The lyrics have always been poetic to me and who doesn't love the way she sings, "I gave you my body and soul." I would have never thought of putting these two songs together but they fit like a glove. It gives the song new life.

Trump (96,570) by RL from USA
He is not a bad president. Four historic peace treaties. Removing troops from Afghanistan. First president in over 40 years who did not start a new war. Booming economy pre-covid. Media has been unfair to him. That's not to say he doesn't come with personality problems. But I'll take his policies.

Re: The mother (96,524) (96,569) by Andrew from the United Kingdom
Did you and Bobby A ever get a resolution to this, Edward? I wonder if anyone shall ever know what happened. If he just decided to depart on a whim then so be it. It is certainly not the same without his posts - I adore random-fandom-geekdom and he certainly hit the bestseller list. Just seems out of character to move on without warning, is all. I hope this to be the case, however, and that nothing awful befell him. Here's to wishing him a long and happy life.

Re: List your top 10 Mariah Christmas songs (96,559) (96,568) by Andrew from the United Kingdom
Was meinst du? Ich finde das so verwirrend. Ha honestly I am still trying to decipher what songs you are talking about. Genuinely it's kinda fun. And forgive my rather shite German.

Re: Article: Mariah Carey celebrates Joe Biden and Kamala Harris (96,562) (96,567) by Andrew from the United Kingdom
"I have never in my life met someone so condescending in my life."

In my life, there's been no-one like him anywhere, anywhere where he is - if he asked, I'd be his.

"It's time you find some joy in your life Andrew."

Joy to the world, Andrew has come.

"Being in your 40s and always leaving pernicious comments in a forum dedicated to your 'fave' or an 'idol' and thinking you are right is just sad."

When I am in my 40's I will look out for that, babes.

"Music is subjective and your opinion is quite frankly inconsequential."

Nope. You may have your own subjective opinion on music but that does not mean it is objectively reasonably good music. E.g., the tone deaf will appreciate the tone deaf. Or someone will like Christina Aguilera's O Holy Night better than Mariah Carey's. So, nope.

"Someone has clearly been sleeping around since 1990."

Don't bring your mama into this. (Okay, I cheated here. Just like yo daddy.)

"Mariah has always been vocal and proud of her black heritage."

Yes, she has. No-one disputed that, babes. I have always extolled the virtues of her being mixed race. She wouldn't have been so amazing if she was not exactly made up of the stuff that makes her up.

"Too bad that for some strange reason you seem to have a problem with that. I wonder why."

Oh wonder. How many goodly creatures are there here. How beauteous mankind is. Oh brave new world, that has such people in it.

Wonder on that, Miranda.

Re: Sales (96,564) (96,566) by We are lambily from USA
Webmaster, I obviously meant pure sales. The rest of her units sold is thanks to streaming, I planned on doing another post about how that and radio is the only thing lacking from Mariah. She could easily do bangers with Drake, The weeknd, Bruno, Ariana or Beyoncé and change that.

I will write a post soon on the artists and genres Mariah should really incorporate into her music. A collaborations album would be something new, guaranteed #1 on Hot 200. With the same promotion and rollout #Beautiful got easily multiple top 5s and possibly #1 on Hot 100.

Bye Trump (96,565) by RibbonB from USA
I'm so glad this clown is out, although he will surely make a shit show of the end of a shit show year. Good riddance.

Sales (96,564) by We are lambily from USA
So many come after Mariah's sales, yes she doesn't sell like she used to. Ariana's new album, which btw is great, sold less pure copies than Caution. She is arguably the biggest pop star out there and she is doing worse numbers than Mariah lol. The elusive chanteuse and Caution era has sold around 10 million copies combined. [Webmaster: Ariana Grande's sixth studio album, Positions, debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart with 174,000 album-equivalent units, including 42,000 pure sales. Caution debuted at number five on the Billboard 200 with 51,000 album-equivalent units, of which 43,000 were pure album sales. So I can't really say that Ariana is doing worse than Mariah.]

Re: MC 30 (96,546) (96,563) by Terna from Nigeria
Will, don't play with me like - her own version of Allure's "Last Chance" I'll straight up pass out. Lol. That song is so dear to me. I played it for a friend of mine once and he was like "Wow, this song is perfect" then proceeded to learn the whole song and couldn't stop singing it. Haha.

Re: Great news (96,560) (96,561) by Libra Lamb from USA
Thank you. I, personally, am very relieved and excited that Biden and Harris won. We need a lot changes in this country and I don't feel that Trump wanted to represent all Americans, only the ones that agreed with him. He wanted to be a dictator and we can no longer allow him to destroy this country.

Re: I'm an actor daaahling (96,535) (96,558) by Andrew from the United Kingdom
"[Mariah] really thinks the success of Precious is due to her acting ability. Lol."

Not sure this is accurate, mate. Is there somewhere that says this? Mariah clearly can be shown to think her performance in this ranges from good to great but I am not sure she can be shown to think she was the lynch-pin. Perhaps I am wrong? It has been known.

"Mariah is a terrible actress."

I have milked a cow a few times (much to my chagrin); a farmer, I am not. I have cooked fine food; a chef, I am not. I have run a half-marathon; an athlete, I am not. I have massaged someone's shoulders; a whore, I am not. And so on. You get my point. Mariah is not a terrible actress because Mariah is not an actress. Mariah is a singer-songwriter - a singer-songwriter that has severely lost her way but a bloody good singer-somgwriter for quite some time, nevertheless.

"She emotes like acting 101 and is uncomfortable to watch in any scene."

Because Mariah has poetic dreams which translate into music only and in no way how she behaves outside of that. Her 3 facial expressions don't cut it in films. Mariah wanting to be in movies is an extension of her wanting to be sexually admired. That she originally thought she could be, and was told she could not be, sexually attractive in Precious should tell you everything. She said she read the book. Don't waste my time. In fact, in the film, she just acted bored and petulant but had great make-up. A few lines of attitude saying something like "If you want your cheque, sweety" does not depth convey. In fact I recall a moment where the lead actress (who should have won several awards for her subtlety and presence alone) says something possibly revealing - and Mariah has to convey this. I recall Mariah's vacant this-is-how-I-think-reveal-looks expression whilst her head slithers awkwardly off its neck. Awful. Just awful. Mariah was not "good in Precious". Precious was "good with Mariah in it".

Mariah is a terrible actress because her very existence is not even grounded in reality. She cannot play anything other than fake, because that is her approach to her career. That sounds like a gross offence, but its true.

I'll leave you with a scene from Will & Grace:

Grace: Was it bad?
Will: Oh, Mariah Carey-in-Glitter bad.

Re: List your top 10 Mariah Christmas songs (96,552) (96,557) by Andrew from the United Kingdom
Not that I have said this before, but lo the mundaneness of lambs listing lazily. Question: "What is your top 10?"

Answer: "Ooooh I just cannot. I have to put 14."

I would bet my left testicle and right ventricle that if the list game was "top 14", the Official Representatives of the Republic of Preteenica on here would make it a top 17.

But hey, your lived experiences. Just like mine is of mind-numbing exposure to the galaxtically cretinous.

Article: Mariah Carey celebrates Joe Biden and Kamala Harris (96,556) by Andrew from the United Kingdom
Okay, Mariah, we get it. You are now black. And white people bad. And Save The Day isn't a [censored] awful song.

Has she finally just completely lost the plot? The lambs are giving up. It is not an understatement to say her non-Christmas career is all but over. Nobody realistic knows who this woman is or if she is currently visiting the planet Earth.

1. O Holy Night, by Mariah

And that sums up my Christmas. In my opinion, the the best vocals ever are in this song.

Rumor has it Mariah will rename track 9 from her second Chritmas album to "O Come All Ye Evil Mother/Hallelujah 911 Chorus-Call". So sad.
