Re: Where I Belong should be a single (96,470) (96,471) by Bobby A from United States This is song is going to be popping in the clubs and Christmas parties for the next 8 weeks. Just wait to DJs in Philly, L.A., Atlanta, Chicago, and New York, get their hands on Where I Belong. (Friday 30 October 2020; 23:27)

Where I Belong should be a single (96,470) by T from USA Get on your socials and tweet, Instagram etc Busta so he knows how popular a choice Where I Belong would be when he's thinking of a second and third single. He's got lots of talent on his album let's give MC some spotlight. Would be cool if it precursors to a great album like IKWYW did. (Friday 30 October 2020; 20:40)

Re: This should be a single, Busta & MC (96,463) (96,469) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines The song's not so subtle nod to the sound of I Know What You Want is a nice production choice. Mariah's role here is less than that of what she did in IKWYW and more comparable to what she brought to U Make Me Wanna with Jadakiss. Knowing how bad (faceless) hip-hop collabs have gotten this year in terms of quality, this song can stand out due to its deliberate throwback to the early 00's urban sound when singing rappers were all the rage. It can do well with great push. This year's hip-pop is mostly dire. It kind of makes us realize how we sort of took for granted how good we had it back in 2000-2005. (Friday 30 October 2020; 19:41)

Re: This should be a single, Busta & MC (96,463) (96,468) by MusicfanJ from Germany Nice surprise. It sounds pretty good. Laid back RNB. That should be "charts friendly" worldwide. (Friday 30 October 2020; 19:26)

Re: This should be a single, Busta & MC (96,463) (96,467) by Aliya from Canada First listen, I was thinking: Where are Mariah's vocals? She barely does anything in the song. It sounds like a knock-off of "I Know What I Want". Second listen: This song is a vibe. It grew on me. Although she doesn't sing much, what she does add complements the song perfectly. Her and Busta sound great together, again. (Friday 30 October 2020; 19:16)

Re: This should be a single, Busta & MC (96,463) (96,466) by RibbonB from USA Song slaps. (Friday 30 October 2020; 17:57)

Re: This should be a single, Busta & MC (96,464) (96,465) by Chicago Lamb from USA Busta's label has to get behind it, deliver to radio. They'd have to perform it live, ala SNL, etc. Perhaps a resurgence in Busta's popularity wouldn't hurt. We can only hope this becomes A modest hit. The Mary J. Blige feature is also a single contender but perhaps on a different format. (Friday 30 October 2020; 16:10)

Re: This should be a single, Busta & MC (96,463) (96,464) by Andrew from the United Kingdom I was braced to not like it. But I actually like it a lot. Would this make No.1 is the States? Genuinely I'm asking. Does this have a chance? (Friday 30 October 2020; 14:17)

The mother (96,461) by RibbonB from USA Relationships with mothers are complicated for many of us and even more so, it seems for Mariah. Mimi has kept secrets and probably tried to accept, fix or leave things for many years. She has probably shown degrees of each of those stages over her career. I believe that she was very much at the trying to fix things stage with her mom during her marriage to Nick and surely having grandkids for her mom probably brought her joy and maybe fear and trepidation. I clearly recall her saying Nick reminded her of her mom. At the time she described as, nurturing, caring calming. That was a strange correlation even then and boy did that change. Her mom was pictured at a lot of her family moments during that phase, including the making of MC2Y. Clearly something snapped, changed and triggered [The art of letting go]. Because around 2013, was the last time Mimi was seen happy with her mom, celebrating her mom's birthday. Also it was nearing the end of her marriage. Maybe the mom sided with Nick on some crucial family issue, or Nick sided with the mom. Somethings clearly happened to trigger a huge shift in Mimi and the relationships around her. Most we will never know about. It's good that ultimately she and Nick decided to remain family and civil for their kids. She doesn't have to share all the deep dark stuff with her health, mental state. The breakdown stuff with her siblings and mom was a lot and felt horrific enough to share in one book. So I can see her trying with her mom, but then deciding that her own self and wellbeing were more important than her relationship with her birth family. (Thursday 29 October 2020; 19:17)

O Canada (96,460) by Andrew from the United Kingdom Well, you asked for it sweetheart. "I've been creeping this board for years..." Yes, you've said that twice now. "Creep" would seem an apt word since you are yet another new poster using me to try to win friends and influence people. "...to read genuinely insightful and kind-hearted comments from other fans..." If you don't like my comments, why do you read them? Or is it that you love to hate me and are just using me to try to w... oh, just see above. "...yet I've always found it confounding that most people seem to be fine with Andrew from the UK consistently putting people down for their opinions, statements and comments." Funny, I very recently asked people what Loverboy version they preferred. I think Firecracker is superior to Candy but did not point out that anyone who thinks Candy the better song is a crazy loon who needs Mutton Dressed as Lamb to slip them some Prozac. Growth. "I'm genuinely curious as to why this person is still allowed to use this board when nearly every single message he posts includes some sort of demeaning, hurtful or downright rude remark to another board member." One out of three of your messages on this board are hurtful and rude toward me. "Shouldn't we all be celebrated for having our own opinions and for sharing our love for our favourite artist?" You want to be "celebrated" for having an opinion? Would you like the full fanfare or something a bit more subdued and Covid secure? "Am I missing something?" Yes. A personality.

Re: AIWFC Dolly & Jimmy (96,445) (96,459) by Stacey from USA Oh c'mon, of course nothing can touch Mariah's version. Nothing. But this is nice. Get into the spirit. Christmas comes soon. (Thursday 29 October 2020; 17:19)

Re: Nervous tick / new album (96,442) (96,458) by Mutton Dressed as Lamb from UK It's her medication, most likely the SSRI. It's one of the side effects. (Thursday 29 October 2020; 16:52)

Re: Tanaka (96,454) (96,457) by The Real Deal from USA Not so long ago, there was a photo of Mimi and Tanaka on one of her social media pages and she had her cell phone in her hand and if you look closely, you were able to see her screensaver. It was a photo of her and Tanaka embraced in a kiss. (Thursday 29 October 2020; 15:57)

Re: Arrogant and toxic (96,452) (96,456) by Chicago Lamb from USA Andrew from UK does come off harsh sometimes, but we read him anyway. He's a talented writer and a lot of what he says about Mariah makes sense. Of course we come here to celebrate our Queen but the phenomena of picking her apart at the same time, is alluring for the very few all the same. It was Joan Crawford who replied to an interviewer when asked how she feels about negativity from the press by saying, "Imagine if they never wrote about me at all." (Thursday 29 October 2020; 13:06)

Re: Another book review (96,453) (96,455) by RibbonB from USA Aww, so sentimental. . don't care about Mark or Binaka, they both got or get paid well. But she could've just cropped Mark out of the picture if not going to name him. She's a savage, sassy, bougie, ratchet. (Thursday 29 October 2020; 13:02)

Tanaka (96,454) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Personally I feel like people need to accept that Tanaka is a part of M’s life. He has been a companion, and more for quite sometime now. Yes he re-entered her life during a time of darkness but it is obvious that he has brought some peace into her life. My point is that we as her fans should be happy that M is finally in a more peaceful place in her life, and that she is surrounded by people, who she feels genuinely care, and love her. I am also happy that RocNation has been a great asset to her business because they treat her like the legendary artist that she truly is. (Thursday 29 October 2020; 12:51)

Re: Another book review (96,449) (96,453) by MusicfanJ from Germany That could be. I just wished that the relationship is true. Because he seems kind-hearted, but who knows. Yes, I noticed the pic with Rae Rae and Mark Sudack. He seemed to be just like a good distraction, nothing more. No words about him at all. Meanwhile Luis Miguel has his own chapter.

Arrogant and toxic (96,452) by MC85 from Canada I've been creeping this board for years, to read genuinely insightful and kind-hearted comments from other fans yet I've always found it confounding that most people seem to be fine with Andrew from the UK consistently putting people down for their opinions, statements and comments. I'm genuinely curious as to why this person is still allowed to use this board when nearly every single message he posts includes some sort of demeaning, hurtful or downright rude remark to another board member. Shouldn't we all be celebrated for having our own opinions and for sharing our love for our favourite artist? Am I missing something? (Thursday 29 October 2020; 06:03)

Re: Another book review (96,450) (96,451) by RibbonB from USA He may, or may not, but what he is, is an employee. She knows how to string along, until she is done. She's great at "both sides of the neck" when she wants to be. (Wednesday 28 October 2020; 23:54)

Re: Another book review (96,449) (96,450) by Todd from Sydney, Australia He got thanked in the credits, followed by an IFLY (I f**king love you), so I think he's more than an employee. (Wednesday 28 October 2020; 23:17)

Re: Another book review (96,448) (96,449) by RibbonB from USA Binaka is fully tied into all the Stella drama, lies, stunts. She just keeps him on payroll because she needs company, can't be alone. When she wants another place filler, she will just treat him like the employee that he is, with no further mention. Did you notice the one picture of Rae Rae, where she referred to her as her assistant or something? Mark Sudak was also in that picture and she never mentioned his name. Everybody conveniently forgets him. He went from photographer to "work boyfriend", finally getting co exec producer credit on Emancipation and E=MC2, I believe. She paid dearly for his silence. IMO. (Wednesday 28 October 2020; 22:53)

Re: Another book review (96,444) (96,448) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, I feel similary. The childhood chapter felt honest and heartbreaking. The stuff about the family even more sad, also she were talking about some things before. The chapter about moving to NYC at the end of the 80ies was exerciting. I think the sing sing chapter wasn't a surprise for most of her fans either. I enjoyed "the story" about Derek Jeter and all the great songs he inspired her. Her love for Christmas and Marilyn Monroe was also nice to read. The few words about Nick Cannon says a lot too. I was surprised that Mr. Tanaka hasn't got an own chapter. That she didn't talk about Stella and that time is understandable. Too embarassing also I still wonder why that happened at all? One member of MCA was wondering about the Christmas song with Pat. I thought they same, it makes little sense to do a song with her, if she was so bad to her. The epiloge was nice, that everyone should protect their dreams. I would have added "and check sometimes if it's still your dream because it can change". Just a few thoughts after reading TMOMC. Plus I love the pictures inside of the book. (Wednesday 28 October 2020; 20:30)

Re: Another book review (96,444) (96,447) by Slipping Butterfly from United States What part of legally she can't talk about James do people not understand? Also she's still dealing with legal issues evolving the Stella era. Fans don't thing logically sometimes. (Wednesday 28 October 2020; 19:49)
