Re: Dreamteam (94,810) (94,811) by T from USA Now a Mariah album produced by JD, Walter A and Timbaland would be fire. Butterfly 2. (Wednesday 5 August 2020; 03:10)

Re: Dreamteam (94,809) (94,810) by We are Lambily from USA Aside from Mariah he hasn't created more than 5 memorable songs, what's the point of naming all of those people when he produced the worst songs of their careers. I have to laugh. Imagine bragging about that. [Warning: The claims in this post are not supported by facts.] (Tuesday 4 August 2020; 23:17)

Re: Dreamteam (94,808) (94,809) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands "Men lie, women lie, numbers don't." You also lie. You make up facts and ignore what others say. Some time ago I posted who Walter has worked with. If you have forgotten that post, here is the list again: - Barbra Streisand - Celine Dion - Destiny's Child - Michael Bolton - Kenny G - Daryl Hall - Luther Vandross - New Kids on the Block - Dusty Springfield - All-4-One - Tina Arena - Gary Barlow - Babyface - Paul Anka - Savage Garden - Marc Anthony - Ricky Martin - Lara Fabian - Christina Aguilera - Josh Groban - Lionel Richie - Jessica Simpson - Earth, Wind & Fire - Leona Lewis - Brian McKnight - Idina Menzel Just name a few artists JD has worked with. You probably won't do that, because you only tell lies and not facts. Maybe I should put a warning under your future posts: "The claims in this post are not supported by facts."

Re: Dreamteam (94,807) (94,808) by We are Lambily from USA Hector: men lie, women lie, numbers don't. Jermaine Dupri has started so many careers and evolved so many people's career. Walter is forgettable in the land of pop producers, while JD is one of the most successful r&b and hip hop producers. He has created some of the best albums ever.

Re: Dreamteam (94,806) (94,807) by Hector from Mexico "Jermaine Dupri who is far better producer than Walter." That's subjective. To me, Walter is a better producer than JD. (Tuesday 4 August 2020; 21:06)

Dreamteam (94,806) by We are Lambily from USA The real dream team are back together, Jermaine Dupri who is far better producer than Walter hinted Mariah is working on something fire. "This Mariah record." And Johnta Austin commented as well. (Tuesday 4 August 2020; 20:47)

Vision of love (94,805) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yeah, my radio station is playing "Vision of Love" because of MC30. How cool ist that? The radio jockey said she's known as a diva but she can afford it. Oh yes. Today was the day "Vision of love" went to number one. I'll have a drink on it. Cheers. (Tuesday 4 August 2020; 19:48)

Re: Article: Should have been bigger: Mariah's "Triumphant (Get 'Em)" (94,803) (94,804) by Anonymous from Love, love, love that song. Great to workout too, makes me feel I can accomplish anything when listening to that track. If it had been Meek and Rick feat Mariah it could have been bigger. (Tuesday 4 August 2020; 19:32)

Re: Article: Should have been bigger: Mariah's "Triumphant (Get 'Em)" (94,802) (94,803) by Bill from the UK Yeh Triumphant was a car crash, best we all forget about it and move on. (Tuesday 4 August 2020; 16:13)

Article: Should have been bigger: Mariah's "Triumphant (Get 'Em)" (94,802) by Dennis from Miami, FL Dear Idolator, let's agree to disagree. Though the remixes were not bad. (Tuesday 4 August 2020; 15:37)

Re: Divas Live 1998 (94,800) (94,801) by Andrew from the United Kingdom Now, now, William. Give the delulons a chance. Rather than dismiss their claims that Mariah was sick that night, just ask them for the source material which makes evident the truth of this claim. I mean, you might be called a troll and other mean words for dealing in facts and not teenage fangirl tribalism, but it's always a fun experiment. So, Edouard, where is the evidence that Mariah was "sick" on the night of VH1 Diva's Live? (Tuesday 4 August 2020; 13:52)

Re: Divas Live 1998 (94,798) (94,800) by Bill from the UK Ugh. It really annoys me when people excuse ropey performances with her being sick. She wasn't sick. Just stop. Mariah hasn't been suffering a permanent cold since 1997. The Divas performance was fine, for 1998. (Tuesday 4 August 2020; 10:12)

Re: Divas Live 1998 (94,795) (94,799) by Will from Australia Well Mariah thought "I Don't" was a good thing so let's take her opinion with a pinch of salt. Since they dropped digitally I've listened to MSG bout 12 times and VH1 once, it's not terrible, but it's not MSG. (Monday 3 August 2020; 23:05)

Re: Divas Live 1998 (94,795) (94,798) by Edouard from France Make it Happen (Divas Live) is elegant, smart and iconic. Even her little speech at the very beginning is witty. "I'm doing my best to be a diva." Pause, wait for it. "This evening". So smart. Like saying "You think I'm a diva and I can be, but it's all for the show." I always thought it was a great way for her to seem both empowered and humble at the same time. Like I'm not in the same category as Aretha Franklin y'all... yet. I agree with Terna. Everything he said basically. This version of Make it Happen is the first time I ever heard Mariah back in December '98 on TV. I remember being surprised by her voice like is it the same person who sings with such a clear tone on record? And then I realized that her voice here is just as great. It's live and it's pure gospel. The MSG version is amazing but also very watered down in a way, very pop. The Divas Live version is like a declaration. I believe it is my very favorite live song from Mariah. The original version of the Emotion album lacks energy IMO. In the Divas Live version, everything about it screams stage presence, faith, love and empowerment. And the whole "I know you're all music industry people but you can get up" part is so commanding without ever sounding put on or arrogant. This is a celebration of her life and career so far. I can't help but wonder: is it the first time we ever got a chance to see Mimi on TV? Anyway, vocally speaking the singers on this messageboard know what it takes to put on a performance like this. And even with a cold (Mariah was sick that night) her musicality here is pure magic because it is creative. A true artist. Love that woman. (Monday 3 August 2020; 22:19)

Re: Reflections (94,793) (94,797) by Edward from USA Andrew, I can't stop laughing. I didn't believe it, but now I know "The Devil" is real. (Monday 3 August 2020; 16:26)

Re: Divas Live 1998 (94,795) (94,796) by Bill from the UK I think both the live performances included on the EP are great, for different reasons. In fact, I love pretty much every version of Make It Happen. Unplugged, Thanksgiving, MSG, Daydream, Divas, Butterfly etc. MSG is brilliant and technically perfect, but VH1 has a lot more passion, force, and soul behind it. I'm glad the Divas performance is available, I think it's great. (Monday 3 August 2020; 13:49)

Re: Divas Live 1998 (94,792) (94,795) by Terna from Nigeria Here comes the ever resident troll on here that won't go away. Like you said it's all an opinion just like yours, but I guess even Mariah herself agrees with mine. (Monday 3 August 2020; 10:23)

Re: Charmbracelet (94,789) (94,794) by Nicky from Jasmine's Sofa I might be alone but I've always heard Lullaby as a sequel to The Roof. It carries the same nostalgia for me. I feel like it would be just as out of place on the charts as The Roof was when it was released. (Sunday 2 August 2020; 18:56)

Reflections (94,793) by Andrew from the United Kingdom This person is, without a shadow of a doubt, the world's worst singer. Though it is all to easy to laugh at the sounds emanating from the anus God appears to have mistakingly put in the lower half of the region on his head most people would call a face, we would do well to remember that evil comes in many forms and, much like the shadows that take away the bad dead people in the movie Ghost, the vocal emanations he makes are a warning to us all that the devil is real, God can't be everywhere all at once and we better all be good people or we may end up spending an eternity in a place where we have to listen to Jeremimi forever, completely tortured, devoid of hope and joy, and free of the wondrous things we take most for granted. Like the ability to press stop on a YouTube channel. (Sunday 2 August 2020; 16:41)

Re: Divas Live 1998 (94,788) (94,792) by Andrew from the United Kingdom I don't wanna do this because I quite like your posts as of late, but... "That VH1 Divas 1998 performance of Make it Happen is the best she's ever sung that song live and honestly hasn't ever since." Vocally it is completely outdone by MIH at Proctor's Theatre at the very least. The vocal is seemingly dubbed but still patchy in places. The "way-ay-ay-ay-yeahee-yeah" part is off key, for example. "I don't think I had ever seen Mariah command a stage and work it with such class, grace and confidence as she exuded that night." Madison Square Garden is surely Mariah her at most confident and commanding. "I'm glad she's released it currently for the younger generation to discover, it is one of the many treasures from Mariah's prime years." This is not Prime Mariah. Prime Mariah ended with the dawn of '97. This is in April '98. When do you think Prime Mariah ends? This is all subjective, of course. But all opinions are not equal where some align more closely with fact based evidence. (Sunday 2 August 2020; 16:00)

Re: Emotions live in TOTP (94,775) (94,791) by Andrew from the United Kingdom Clearly Mariah has vocal troubles here so is singing the song differently. But I actually love it sung like this. Why doesn't she do this in concerts now? Probably because it would be headline music news. But it would sound great. (Sunday 2 August 2020; 15:43)

Re: Walter live videos on instagram (94,773) (94,790) by Andrew from the United Kingdom Hilton, for perhaps the first time in years, we agree. I'm off to the pub. Ill have a drink to that. (Sunday 2 August 2020; 15:39)

Re: Charmbracelet (94,772) (94,789) by Joe from United Kingdom That's really interesting.. Never thought of Lullaby as single material. I love it just didn't think it would reach the masses. (Sunday 2 August 2020; 13:06)

Divas Live 1998 (94,788) by Terna from Nigeria That VH1 Divas 1998 performance of "Make it Happen" is the best she's ever sung that song live and honestly hasn't ever since. I don't think I had ever seen Mariah command a stage and work it with such class, grace and confidence as she exuded that night, at one point she even asked the audience to get up on their feet and they obliged - truly epic. You can tell she's very proud of that performance as she's basically always made reference to the way she sang it then anytime she performs it today; that version is still the template she uses. I'm glad she's released it currently for the younger generation to discover, it is one of the many treasures from Mariah's prime years. The Butterfly era was everything.
