Re: If the price is right: question for lambs (73,577) (73,582) by Will from England I guess if it were me, I'd make it clear what my role is. If you're hiring me to be your manager, then that is my job: to manage, maintain and (hopefully) elevate your career. I'm not a paid friend, I'm not going to be your live-in whatever. Why? Because then the lines get blurred between professionalism and friendship. Where would one end, and the other begin? Where would work end, and where would my/your own private life begin? We can be friendly and have fun times, but not forget that I am an employee and you're the employer. (Monday 13 March 2017; 01:10)

Re: New album (73,375) (73,376) by Will from England An album with just uptempo songs would never, ever work. She's not that kind of artist, so to expect her to do something that is completely unlike her is counterproductive. Also, she did the no rapper approach with MOAIA. In terms of Mariah's catalogue, what classifies as a "crappy album"? (Sunday 5 March 2017; 15:33)

No more albums (73,364) by Will from England If you look at the talent shows recently, what they like to highlight more so than sales, are the number of singles that have been sold. Consider this, before digital marketing, you had the physical albums, where you would get the song you wanted to listen to, plus others that you'd discover to be higher quality in terms of topics, lyricism etc. than perhaps the main singles chosen to represent that album. People used to have no choice but to buy an entire album. Now, you it's like a pic n' mix counter, where you can choose the songs you like and want to buy, but no longer obliged to buy the whole album unless you are a mainstream fan of said artist(s). We have always known that the album sales are declining, and it's not just Mariah's that are low in the numbers, with the exception of those who are currently the "in thing". That's why some artists hold back on releasing albums on iTunes etc. (Adele) and instead release the physical albums first to maximise on those sales. However, that approach would only work for some artists, and I don't think that Mariah is one of them any more. Mariah is known for her impeccable albums (there is no such thing as a "bad" Mariah album, just some are better than others), but they require money from the label to record, print physical copies etc. and promote it. If the label does not have faith in Mariah recording an album that will sell, and therefore not willing to fund the creation of an album, then perhaps it's best for Mariah to go down this route. We still get new music, and not have to wait months, along with the fact that we can hear what and where Mariah feels creatively. What she creates now, probably will be different to what she wants in a few months time. And don't forget this: her last three singles have all be project singles; Infinity for Vegas, Infamous for Empire and ID for MW. This next single with Busta will be her first one in a while, that isn't tied to a side project to promote it, so it may have a different approach lyrically or sonically to it than the last three.

Skinny legend (73,363) by Will from England In other news, if you type the subject line into Google and click on images, guess whose the first few results. Mariah winning all the way lol. (Sunday 5 March 2017; 1:39)

Re: The stolen idea (73,152) (73,170) by Will from England It did. On (I think) the deluxe limited edition one, she did include demo versions of the songs on that album. I think they were studio sessions to phone recordings. (Sunday 26 February 2017; 23:37)

One More Try (73,088) by Will from England I wonder why she decided to sing it. But anyway, a nice surprise. (Friday 24 February 2017; 1:03)

Article: From diva to disaster (72,970) by Will from England "Disastrous Sweet Sweet Fantasy European tour"? Which part? The great reviews, the sold out shows, the good performances? Other than that section, painfully true the rest of the article. (Monday 20 February 2017; 23:56)

Re: The Entertainer app (72,964) (72,969) by Will from England One could say that they're presenting alternative facts lol. (Monday 20 February 2017; 23:54)

Positive Mariah (72,857) by Will from England Here's a little video compilation of Mariah being positive to other artists both recently and a few years ago. (Saturday 18 February 2017; 16:58)

Re: Mariah's take on the Grammy's (72,809) (72,816) by Will from England I don't think she was talking about Adele or Beyonce's performances. I think she was commenting on how the Grammy results themselves are predictable now. You know Adele is going to win. You know Beyonce is going to win. It wasn't really the performances. What I am surprised about was how she brought up the Daydream snub, just as we are discussing it on this board, and not the awards TEOM could and should have gotten which in comparison was more recent (and relevant?) than Daydream. Why bring that snub up? (Friday 17 February 2017; 23:46)

VOL (72,764) by Will from England That performance is now on Jimmy Kimmel's YouTube account. Again, a good performance. She played it safe in some places, but she did well on the higher parts. If you don't like Mariah standing still, then I would strongly advise not watching the video and save us the grief of reading the knit-picking. (Thursday 16 February 2017; 23:34)

Jimmy (72,757) by Will from England Jeez, can't give her a break can you? When she finally pulls off a good performance on TV, and looks great, you call it boring because she stood still (I didn't see Adele running around during Hello at the Grammys yet people are calling it a good performance). When she has a train wreck performance, but had dancers, she was moving around the stage, feathers, you focus on her lipping/questioning her singing ability. People have been asking for a simple performance of her just singing, and she did just that. Yet people are never satisfied anymore. What's wrong with just standing still? Of course she would be nervous, considering what happened during the last performance. Anyone would. She ad-libbed nicely, sang the song without gimmicks, and ditched that gold mic at long last. (Thursday 16 February 2017; 21:57)

Re: New radio call in (72,501) (72,503) by Will from England Lol, she just slammed that phone down. (Saturday 11 February 2017; 15:37)

Re: Mariah Superbowl - setllist (like Diana Ross) (72,266) (72,276) by Will from England That's even funnier. You're telling me, that not one of the 778 million people who've watched the BR video, was not watching the Superbowl or were in that stadium? And that's just the video, not even counting the radio plays, performances, tours etc. of the other songs that Gaga sung. I love Mariah, but whilst she does have an impressive back catalogue which cannot be denied, she does not know how to put on a show that watchers of the Superbowl would expect now. Can you see her doing any of the things that would come up to par with the last few halftime shows? She's great when it comes to her own shows etc. but when it comes down to TV, something doesn't click and she plays it very safe. (Monday 6 February 2017; 18:32)

Re: Mariah Superbowl - setllist (like Diana Ross) (72,246) (72,256) by Will from England The General Public don't know Poker Face, Bad Romance or Just Dance? That's funny. (Monday 6 February 2017; 13:46)

I Don't (72,226) by Will from England So I've had a few days to process the song and have it on heavy repeat. And I love it. Ironically, the lyrics match a situation that I'm going through at the moment, so once again, Mariah has written a song that accurately talks about what I'm feeling right now. Good job. (Sunday 5 February 2017; 22:37)

Re: MW episode 8 : Mimi L review (71,790) (71,796) by Will from England Let's not forget that a huge section of the Mariah and James story is missing i.e. the fight on the yacht that occured between SA and Hawaii. Whatever happened on that boat, could be what Mariah refused to talk about on the show etc. and what she may or may not be talking about in the song snippet. (Monday 30 January 2017; 13:33)

Re: Nevermind, it's a bop (71,776) (71,778) by Will from England Personally, I thought it almost sounded as if she wrote it from both James' and her own perspectives rather than just hers. (Monday 30 January 2017; 10:44)

Social media (71,765) by Will from England I know she's on a self-imposed social media break, however it is strange that if there is a song to be released tonight/whenever, there's nothing more to go on other than the snippet we've all heard now. Literally no one knows if or when this song is to be released, is it an actual single, is there an album to follow, what the song is even called, single cover art etc. There has been nothing but speculation and all from one 30 second clip of Mariah singing. (Sunday 29 January 2017; 23:11)

Re: Here's the clip (71,708) (71,714) by Will from England Wouldn't surprise me if the clip we've all seen is part of the music video, you know? (Saturday 28 January 2017; 17:27)

Vodka (71,345) by Will from England Watching MW, and was wondering whatever happened with that vodka line? (Monday 16 January 2017; 15:43)

Re: Record label wants to put out new single (71,123) (71,129) by Will from England It wouldn't surprise me that Mariah has a clause somewhere in her contract, that they can't release any music with her name on it without her endorsement or support. And I'm certain that if they do release music, Mariah needs to fulfill her part of the contract, which is to promote it. Which would mean to sing live and go on media shows. The very things that are far from the forefront of her mind. (Tuesday 10 January 2017; 18:58)

Re: The Truth (70,665) (70,679) by Will from England There are photos of Mariah at sound check and dance rehearsals. (Tuesday 3 January 2017; 1:11)

Re: Mariah's impact (70,414) (70,427) by Will from England Not to take away what was a lovely moment, but isn't this the same fan who a while ago, posted about how he asked her to do all these things (follow him on social media/email him?), on top of giving her the diamond cross, and got mad because she didn't do it? (Thursday 29 December 2016; 22:06)

Re: MW episode 3 : Mimi L review (70,069) (70,074) by Will from England Great review. I did find it interesting how Mariah turned to the camera and asked "Who put me in charge of this?" which I found interesting because she's all of their boss, not Stella. So it should be Mariah who ensures that her team is working well, not Stella (who obviously has a temper and reacts aggressively without trying to resolve a problem first). Stella is the last person you want to try and resolve a conflict. I'm so done with Molly, I want her gone now. I feel sorry for her because it is so obvious that she's not right for this, she had delusions about what it would be like, and seems to have no intuition or self-awareness. Danielle is fantastic lol. (Monday 19 December 2016; 11:27)
