About Edward from USA:

Re: Blind Gossip article (70,871) (70,872) by Edward from USA Nick and Mariah are friends, and seem to be co-parenting very well. Only they know what happened between them, the rest is pure speculation. Mariah wasn't a damsel in distress when Nick met her, she was a grown ass woman, even older than Nick and very well seasoned. Listening to his version of the way they were when they were a couple is as interesting as listening to Mariah and her alleged diss songs. The truth is usually right in the middle. So, there's nobody to demonize here, they got into it, they were happily married for six years, and they ended it. It takes two to tango. (Thursday 5 January 2017; 22:37)

Knock knock, having a blond moment? (70,861) by Edward from USA Those who are talking shit about Tommy and his open letter are missing the point. What some of the "super-lambs" should consider is whether the advice is something you would agree with if it hadn't come from him. Focus on the advice, and not just on the parts you don't like about it just because it's coming from Tommy. Some of you decide to bypass the part where he speaks highly of Mariah. Tommy's advice is what we've been regurgitating for long time now, Marissa even put together well-intention petition that fell in deaf ears, but now we have a way to make this message heard and all you focus is who the [censored] advice is coming from? It's ridi-[censored]-diculous. If Tommy said Mariah should keep Stella, I would be the first one to oppose it, but he's just giving her a great and free advice. Even though they didn't work as a couple, he helped Mariah developed her brand to a point where she could fly away freely on her own. Many artists were dropped from the Sony roster so they could invest in Mariah, because he saw her potential, so let's not pretend the man is not partially responsible for her success. There are many talented, beautiful, gifted vocalists and lyricists out there, but they never got the muscle behind then to build their careers. It took an incredible talent like Mariah and a visionary like Tommy to turn Mariah into a mega star. So from a business perspective do not dismiss the voice of experience and wisdom. On a side note, even though Beyoncé is nowhere near as talented as Mariah, let's not pretend Mariah is more popular and relevant than her when the woman drops an album and within a week sells a million, her brand is almost impeccable, her videos are great and well produced. Yes, exactly the way Mariah used to be. (Thursday 5 January 2017; 19:16)

Re: Stella's backlash (70,840) (70,846) by Edward from USA Stella, just like the rest, signed a confidentiality agreement. Her lips would be sealed, believe me. (Thursday 5 January 2017; 15:18)

Nothing but the truth (70,845) by Edward from USA Whether people like it or not, he spoke the truth. As many of us have stated here before, Mariah shouldn't be managed by an amateur just to save some money. She might've saved pennies but now she's spending dollars. Mariah's management is at an all time low professionally, and she seems to think everything is OK. Once she referred to her best friend/manager Stella as an alpha female, I knew Stella wouldn't be going anywhere anytime soon. So, it is safe to say that Mariah and Stella deserve each other. Mariah condones Stella's unprofessional behavior, since at the end of the day, and as Nick said, Mariah manages Mariah, she has the last word. Having a 13-year old managing her social media is also crazy, she should at least give Instagram to Stella's father to manage, and Twitter to Stella's mother. This docu-series is uninspired, messy and mediocre, also a flop. Instead of looking for fault or possible motives on Tommy's words, appreciate the fact that maybe even when she might hate it, his words could be read by her, because our efforts have been in total vain.

Re: Debacles and mishaps and exposés, oh my (70,780) (70,795) by Edward from USA Marissa, you've expressed exactly my sentiment. As bad as the NYE was and judging by the way she's allowing Stella handle the whole situation, I can sadly inferred that Mariah hasn't learned a thing about this whole fiasco. She needs to understand that things are deeper rooted than they seem, and that the avalanche of criticism hasn't been only just because of what happened, but also because the way she's been coming across with her diva person and her occasional shade. Had Taylor Swift gone through that, people wouldn't have minded much. Had Mariah from 1990-2005 gone through that, I doubt she would have gotten all this criticism. When Glitter happened, some big names came out in her support stating that they too had gone through nervous breakdowns, she got sympathy because she was humble. The Mariah we have now doesn't come across as humble at all. One of things that L.A. Reid did before "The Emancipation of Mimi" was released was making sure she was likable again, by introducing Mariah to the DJ's from the main radio stations in a different light. People just don't like her, and if she doesn't see that, she'll keep facing all the hate. If she doesn't see it, it is a lost cause. (Wednesday 4 January 2017; 23:12)

Re: She was just being lifted, lifted (70,787) (70,793) by Edward from USA Mimi L., you know I love you, but let's not go there. Mariah's whisper and how she gets there shouldn't be addressed in this platform. One must keep the decorum. In Mariah's name, I accept your humble apology though. (Wednesday 4 January 2017; 22:54)

She was just being lifted, lifted (70,750) (70,779) by Edward from USA Stella just went on a TV show stating that Mariah gets lifted by her dancers so many times during her concerts and performances because she loves her fans. She confirmed what I was almost certain about, that when Mariah gets lifted, she sings higher. So, people should chill, she exposes her boobs to maximize her chest voice, and gets lifted to sing higher, we should give the woman some credit and stop whining and complaining. (Wednesday 4 January 2017; 20:44)

Fest suggestions to Mariah (70,676) by Edward from USA I won't regurgitate what everybody has already stated concisely and precisely. These are a few suggestions to Mariah 1. Take a break from the spotlight for a year or so, you've already made enough headlines for the wrong reasons. Let us miss you, be elusive. 2. Get Mariah's Word off the air, it's not a good docu-series but it isn't good reality either. 3. Go back to that place where you had nature and horses around you while you wrote those great songs on a notepad. 4. Forget about touring for now, and focus on your babies, on your mother, on your music. 5. Work on your voice and comeback with great music. Great music is great regardless of chart position. 6. Lay off the booze, it has clearly affected your voice greatly, but there's still hope. Work with a vocal coach. 7. Get rid of Stella, even though she comes across as if she were always rooting for you, she and her foul mouth are about to get you in trouble because she lacks professionalism. 8. Take this NYE performance as a sign for you to humble yourself and get real professionals in control of those things you don't know We can't pretend this is an isolated incident, it has happened many times before at different magnitudes, but it has. The question would be, why does it keep happening? (Tuesday 3 January 2017; 0:55)

Re: Positivity and Edward (70,466) (70,486) by Edward from USA Randy, what I like about "Right to Dream" is that it is just Mariah and a guitar, as simple as that, so I give her credit for that. I don't particularly think is a masterpiece lyrically, but it's very decent and the message reminds us why her music have helped so many people. Mariah's voice also sounds amazing without having to tweak anything, it sounds real. I hereby declare "Right to Dream" as "Andy's Theme". I do like the fact that you're very passionate about Mariah's music. Just like you, many of us here know what she's capable of. Forget about the belting, about vocal acrobatics, number ones, and album sales, I think she still has the ability to produce a great critically acclaimed album, and I'm hoping for that. Oh, and that person who said "come back Edward" was just being sarcastic, obviously he/she meant the opposite, but since I do not know him/her, I didn't address that particular posts. Being part of this board since Eric started it 17 years ago, and as T.J. stated, we've seen many "super fans" come and go like flies on a wedding cake. (Saturday 31 December 2016; 18:53)

Re: Bleak (70,452) (70,454) by Edward from USA Andrew, leave Randy alone with his "Right to Dream". Don't be an ass. Randy, as long as your students write nicely about Mariah and no Scientology, you're fine. I appreciate yours posts too. (Friday 30 December 2016; 17:00)

Mariah's impact (70,428) (70,431) by Edward from USA I remember him too. He was the one who gave Mariah a family expensive ring that had belonged to his grandmother or something. The thing is that he gave her the ring but he didn't have money to pay his rent. Well, as Stella promised him, he got to be on Mariah's World. I just think Stella did it for the sake of the show though, not because of anything else. (Thursday 29 December 2016; 22:43)

Have those days of love really gone? (70,423) by Edward from USA I think that for such a long time we've been left with anything from Mariah but music to talk about, everything is basically about her being a diva, her rich lifestyle, a thousand products she comes with here and there, but great music like she's got us used to has definitely moved to the background. Having the occasional good song ("Help Me Make It", "Almost Home", "My Love", "Right to Dream", etc) was always inspiring and kept us focused on her artistry. She has recorded so many songs she could release a couple of those in between albums, but sadly we get nada, at least nothing with near the quality of the aforementioned songs. I know we're living in different times where celebrities' lives are exposed for everybody to see, but after a while it takes always some of the excitement of not knowing what comes next, especially from an artist like Mariah. Mariah has always been to me about her great music, deep lyrics, and exceptional delivery. The fact that she was or at least appeared to be "Make It Happen" humble gave her credibility, not that she was just looking for the next catchy or hit song. Never had I imagined that, as an artist of her caliber, things were going to be more about her personal life than her music. I just hope she takes good care of herself, since some of the greatest have left us too song, George Michael was just 53, Whitney was just 48, Michael Jackson was just 50. When I say I miss 1990-2005, I say it because I miss the artist that she was, her eagerness to craft a great song, her ability to dig deep and inspire us with her lyrics. I know she's a mother and stuff, I understand she doesn't have the time to release an album annually, but I expect her to deliver a great product when she does release something, even if it's a single song or collabo. I'll be patiently here waiting for her next music project. (Thursday 29 December 2016; 19:41)

Re: Why not wearing them? They're cute (70,397) (70,401) by Edward from USA Amen. (Thursday 29 December 2016; 0:23)

I want my meat from skinned-alive cows (70,398) by Edward from USA Well, people have been eating meat for ages, but as time has progressed the methods in which these animal we eat are slaughtered have been more humane, again I say, humane. I'm pretty sure anybody who has a cat would be disgusted if its skin were ripped off of its body while the cat still suffering in pain. I don't remember the last cow that was skinned alive just so we could have meat that tastes juicier and better, I would be against it. These fur coats many people wear come from animals that oftentimes are skinned alive, some rabbits get they tail and sometimes legs cut off and left suffering, that's what I'm referring to, the cruelty. I had a cat that was sick with cancer and I had to put him to sleep, I didn't savagely smash its head against a wall, I did it the more humanely possible so that he would not suffer. So yes, we all have a responsibility here, and because many people have spoken, things are changing gradually. Those who want to wear their blood furry coats, good for them. It's about cruelty towards defenseless innocent animals who can't at least be put to dead quick and without pain. (Wednesday 28 December 2016; 23:19)

Re: I'm leaving MCA behind in 2016... shake it off (70,361) (70,369) by Edward from USA If that were case, and Andrew were as bad as you implied, your post and Radhames' wouldn't have seen the light of day. Don't you think? MCArchives has always been this way, when most fans website have disappeared, this site has stayed up because the dedication Eric has put into keeping it up and because we can express our opinions whether some might like them or not. Through the years there have been many posts and even posters I haven't liked, but I appreciate the fact they were there and were allowed the same freedom to post as me and anybody else. I guess, somebody hacked www.Mariahsword.com, she's the one promoting fur coats. (Wednesday 28 December 2016; 1:26)

Why not wearing them? They're cute (70,368) by Edward from USA For those who see nothing wrong with wearing fur coats, take a look at this video from Peta. You might not think the same way after you see it. Since when did human beings become so inhumane? Those who wear fur coats create the demand for them hence they're as responsible for the cruelty these animals are put through as the those who skin them alive or just kill them inhumanely for that purpose. (Wednesday 28 December 2016; 1:06)

Re: Fur coat? (70,355) (70,356) by Edward from USA This is an excerpt from a Peta article titled "Me and Mariah" from November 9, 2006: "As with so many things these days, the whole chain of events was started off by a wealthy Russian oligarch. A big fan of Mariah’s work, he sent her a pair of ludicrously expensive fur coats in a misguided attempt to impress her. Mariah, understandably peeved about receiving dead animals in the mail from some sketchy Russian tycoon, immediately donated the coats to us." From that I inferred that she didn't promote nor wear fur coats, at least from that point on, but I was wrong, she still wears them. While Debbie Harry and Kim Cattrall donated all her fur coates to Peta on 2014, Mariah donated "some" of hers too, just some. So yes, she might have donated some of her coats, but it is evident she still wears them. I think it is sad because the way they skinned some of those animals alive is beyond disgusting. Maybe they should make a coat for her and those who use them from the skin of their beloved dogs, maybe they would stop. Let's see how the super fans defend this one. Maybe she wears them because she broke up with Packer and she's sad. (Tuesday 27 December 2016; 22:45)

Re: Ex-Wham singer George Michael dies (70,297) (70,305) by Edward from USA I can't believe it. I love his music. All the great ones are fading away. So sad. The man could write and sing with such soul. (Monday 26 December 2016; 1:09)

Merry Christmas (70,296) by Edward from USA Marry Christmas to my MCArchives Family. And for those who celebrate it secretly, Whisper Merry Christmas to you too. Happy Holidays for those fans who celebrate these days differently. (Sunday 25 December 2016; 21:32)

Clownish version of her former self? (70,202) by Edward from USA Looking at Mariah with her play dressed-up image, I couldn't help but wonder: Is she really aware of the way she presents herself visually, not only with her "I bought dem boobs I should show them to the world" attitude mixed with her weird bodysuits, strange outfits and drag queen stilettos? Nothing against drag queens, but they use those type of stilettos for a reason, they are men with men feet that need big shoes, lol. It seems to be that it hasn't sunk on her that she's a legend and that she doesn't need the puppet show to continue with her career still achieving moderate success. Classy-sexy doesn't have anything to do with trashy. I thought that the older the classier she would become, but it's sad to see that she seems to think that "All We Want for Christmas Is Boobs". If she really thinks that she exudes Marilyn Monroe type of sexiness, somebody is not really telling her the truth. She perfectly and candidly emulated Marilyn persona on the "I Still Believe" music video, and played a very sexy spy on the "Honey" video, but her new visual presentation is disastrous to me. (Friday 23 December 2016; 1:36)

Re: Here Comes Santa Claus video (70,193) (70,196) by Edward from USA Her boobs look sore because she fed Rock and Roe before the video. You know she takes mother(ship or hood depending on how she's feeling at the moment) very seriously. (Friday 23 December 2016; 0:43)

Re: The Mariah - Stella relationship (70,105) (70,108) by Edward from USA I can't believe I made "yass girl" verb happen. Sorry Gretchen. (Monday 19 December 2016; 22:05)

Power Le : Mimi L review (70,101) (70,106) by Edward from USA Mimi L., you just killed me with that lesbo duet (Mariah ft. Crustella). You shouldn't be allowed to post here anymore. Eric, you know what to do. (Monday 19 December 2016; 22:00)

Re: J.Lo was edited out of AIWFCIY Carpool (70,033) (70,037) by Edward from USA Andrew, yes, Mariah looked stiff and stoned on the Carpool Karaoke, but come on. I definitely wish she would loosen up a little bit and just have fun, carefree fun just like the rest, but at the end of the day, that's the Mariah we have today, either we take her or leave her, that's about it. I'm mostly happy fort the success of the song, these welcomed views are definitely going to factor into its next chart position on Billboard. Making excuses as to why she probably acted the way she did, it's ridiculous and deluded. It's not like this is the first time she's been this way. Whatever she's done to her face, maybe encouraged and yass-girled by Crustella, doesn't look good on her at all. She was fine the way she was. These chick implants and stuff make people loose their natural look rendering them looking like bloated stiff dolls. (Sunday 18 December 2016; 1:14)

Re: 1969 or 1970? (69,867) (69,923) by Edward from USA Licia, you don't look 21 at all. You look more like 23. I hope I didn't hurt your feelings. (Wednesday 14 December 2016; 2:48)
