Re: You don’t know her (95,306) (95,308) by We are lambily from USA Yes Ben Carson I see you. Good for you. Ps: "I said most of you guys." (Monday 31 August 2020; 20:46)

Re: Article: Mariah after midnight (95,302) (95,307) by MusicfanJ from Germany It was indeed a strange "interview" and not easy to read. I was hoping for something new or something less diva. But I'm still excited for her book. Maybe it will surprise us with less diva moments and more Mariah the singer/person moments. (Monday 31 August 2020; 20:26)

Re: You don’t know her (95,299) (95,306) by Tevin from USA We are Lambly. Uhm I prefer Mariah's 1990 to 1996 stuff and I'm a Young Black Guy. (Monday 31 August 2020; 20:02)

Re: Article: Mariah after midnight (95,302) (95,305) by Tevin from USA I agree with what you said Andrew. (Monday 31 August 2020; 19:58)

Re: My All and The Roof (95,287) (95,304) by Nicky from Jasmine's Sofa I always thought that about The Roof, so then it's sequel Lullaby must be about him too (which I also always believe..) And I think Subtle is about the same person. If not Derek, it's some puppy love connection pre-fame. For some reason I hear a connection between The Roof, Lullaby, and Giving Me Life. It might just be the mood/vibe. (Monday 31 August 2020; 18:58)

Re: Babyface (95,291) (95,303) by Andrew from the United Kingdom Have to give it to Babyface, the production on When You Believe stands the test of time. The song sounds classic. I only wish Mariah had the first verse and Whitney the second. And Mariah's contribution to Every Time I Close My Eyes lifted the song from middle-of-the-road, forgettable pap to something spectacular. I first heard it on Top of the Pops through the wall from my brother's bedroom whilst in the bath one evening. I jumped out and ran naked into his room shouting "That's Mariah, that's Mariah." My brother couldn't get over how I could identify Mariah from backing vocals, faintly, through a wall. And, also, how much bigger my penis was than his. Which is all true. Except for the penis bit. It's actually very small. (Monday 31 August 2020; 17:39)

Article: Mariah after midnight (95,302) by Andrew from the United Kingdom I still maintain that Mariah has absolutely no clue how the world sees her. Take this article. What is the outcome of this? I dont know about you but I see a rich, pampered, spoiled woman using her wealth to make minions dance around her, nervously fretting over her absolute satisfaction whilst she lies back in the lap of luxury with such worries as candlelight throwing shadows over her chins, all the while moaning that her fame and wealth were difficult and people were a bit mean. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, millions are dying, millions are losing their jobs and people are quarantining at home in tiny box apartments. But don't you cry for yourselves, little people. Decades ago some people said some bad things to Mariah Carey. This is actually grotesque to read. So some people were racially abusive many years ago? This will make me even more popular here but I am just going to say it: Mariah, get over it. How long ago was this? How long ago was Tommy? Look at everything that you have, Mariah. Look at the people pissing themselves with fear that your water is not tepid enough. Doesn't that embarrass you? The more time has moved on the more people have just stopped listening to Mariah rehashing the same old bullshit whilst she acts like a spoiled diva. Yes, everyone is entitled to pain and to relate that pain, but come off it. All I saw here was Mariah trying to attach herself to current racial tensions in the United States which is not helpful and, frankly, really obnoxious. It will endear people to her about as much as trying to associate such crap as Save The Day with current US politics will. I'd rather she just said she is incredibly thankful all that she has. And pour her own f**king water. (Monday 31 August 2020; 17:28)

Back in Bedford (95,301) by Brad from USA This answers my previous question of where in the world is Mariah Carey. I had a feeling she was upstate. Again. Be well. (Monday 31 August 2020; 17:27)

Re: Jereministroke (95,280) (95,300) by Edward from USA His cover of "I Am Free" is epic. I'm on the floor. I can't believe he hasn't been signed to a label yet. (Monday 31 August 2020; 17:08)

You don’t know her (95,299) by We are lambily from USA The title is obviously meant for all the Karen's in the world who still don't get her and who left her in 1996. Lol just for laughs. This new New York article really made me even more excited for the memoir and I never thought that was possible. It's gonna be explosive and not in a way that most would expect. All that divaish are for laughs, time to get serious. This is seriously one of her best articles I have ever read about her. Andrew mentioned a while ago that most people on this board prefer 1990-1996 music and honestly that's because most of you guys are middle aged white dudes. During those years her music was mostly directed towards her "pop audience" and she obviously is grateful for that success but it was really the r&b/hiphop community she wanted attention from and be a part of. Butterfly album is more than her magnum opus, it's really her. Mariah Carey the human being and Mariah Carey the artist. If sales and achievements meant to her as much as her art she would released [Music Box] 2.0 straight after [Butterfly] but she came back with a even more hip hop/rnb sounding album. Like someone mentioned before that she would trade all of her success for the same recognition Mary J gets. And that says a lot. This new book will honestly heal Mariah's image in so many ways. And I can't wait for Mariah to remind the general people of her life, struggles and blessings. Let's hope we get a documentary after this pandemic. It's time for Mariah to do something so many legends weren't able to do, tell their own story unfiltered. And to change the general people conception of her. (Monday 31 August 2020; 17:04)

Re: Jereministroke (95,280) (95,298) by Edward from USA My ears were bleeding while listening to that, but what really made my nose bled were all the comments encouraging this person to continue doing these covers in which he sounds as if he has been constipated for years. I couldn't stop laughing, but when I got to "After Tonight", my deluluness kicked in, and I became a blind fan. Now I understand some of the fans here. (Monday 31 August 2020; 17:03)

Re: Jereministroke (95,295) (95,297) by Andrew from the United Kingdom How about you STFU? (Monday 31 August 2020; 16:59)

MusicfanJ / Breakdown (95,296) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Breakdown I am not too sure who, or what particular experience inspired Breakdown hopefully we will get insight into the inspiration or meaning to the song in the memoir as some songs will be actual chapters. (Monday 31 August 2020; 16:31)

Re: Jereministroke (95,280) (95,295) by Mutton Dressed as Lamb from UK Put a sock in it Andrew. The account has made me laugh out loud. (Monday 31 August 2020; 15:50)

Re: My All and The Roof (95,287) (95,294) by MusicfanJ from Germany I always knew that "The Roof" was about Derek Jeter. But didn't know "My All" was also about him. How about "Breakdown"? (Monday 31 August 2020; 15:07)

Re: Babyface (95,290) (95,293) by Tevin from USA They worked together in 08 on the Stand Up for Cancer song. (Monday 31 August 2020; 14:44)

Re: Jereministroke (95,280) (95,292) by Scott from USA Surely they are taking the piss. I hope so. But with the amount of bad Pop Idol, American Idol, Australian Idol, whatever idol auditions I've seen, who knows. The comments of support on that vid, whoa. (Monday 31 August 2020; 14:27)

Re: Babyface (95,290) (95,291) by Bill from the UK Baby-face produced When You Believe for Whitney and Mariah so I think that was the official last time they worked together. I also loved Mariah's contribution to Every Time I Close My Eyes. (Monday 31 August 2020; 11:47)

Babyface (95,290) by Bobby A from United States I wonder why MC hasn't worked with Babyface since Daydream. They made beautiful music together. He no longer writes songs by himself or with Daryl Simmons. His songwriting has evolved and you can tell by his work with Antonio Dixon, Percy Bady, and Kameron Glasper. Toni Braxton's Do It by BabyFace, Antonio Dixon and Percy Bady is GTFO but more lady like and classy. Toni's Nothin also on her new album is classic Babyface with Kameron Glasper. (Monday 31 August 2020; 04:05)

Mariah Network (95,289) by Will from England The Mariah Network posted the interview that the New York magazine did with Mariah recently. Very good read and great insight on what she will be talking about in her book. (Monday 31 August 2020; 00:51)

Mariah (95,288) by ss from iran Hi Mari. Hi my life. Hi my love. Mariah I love you. A kiss for you. (Monday 31 August 2020; 00:20)

My All and The Roof (95,287) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Both of these particular songs are about Derek Jeter. (Sunday 30 August 2020; 23:47)

Re: Jereministroke (95,284) (95,286) by Andrew from the United Kingdom FFS, William. Go to Mimi on your database and press delete. (Sunday 30 August 2020; 17:37)

Re: Rarities tracklisting - real? (95,281) (95,285) by Edward from USA When you put it that way, I agree. (Sunday 30 August 2020; 14:41)

Re: Jereministroke (95,280) (95,284) by Bill from the UK I know you were being funny, but my database does actually record the barcodes of my collection lol. (Sunday 30 August 2020; 14:31)
