About Norman from USA: I've been a fan of Mariah's since I first heard Love Takes Time (I don't know how I initially missed Vision of Love), and I haven't looked back since. Her music has been there for me in my darkest hours to help lift out of the depths of whatever I was going through at the time. She's my all time favorite female singer, even though I love many others. It's funny to think of her music as a "friend", but it's always been there for me. I love her talent. " As we drifted to another place and time And the feeling was so heady and sublime As I lost my heart to you There in the dark Underneath the stars"

Crave (89,559) by Norman from USA Madgr has a new song out with Swae Lee called Crave. And I swear it could easily fit into Mimi's Caution album. If this song or any of Mariah's songs from Caution were released by any other current female acts, they would get air play. I'm not saying #1 or anything, but at least top 20. Ageism is bish.

BBMA style (89,129) by Norman from USA What are the chances of Mimi having a stylist like Patricia Field, Adam Selman, or Marni Senofonte? I mean, maybe a couture Zac Posen? On a scale of 1 to Migrate is her next single? Per chance to dream. (Friday 12 April 2019; 00:37)

Re: Remix video (88,753) (88,759) by Norman from USA That Lizzo track , "Tempo" is fire. (Saturday 23 March 2019; 04:01)

Boasty (88,464) by Norman from USA I get a feeling this song is going to light up the charts. It may be a Wiley song feat. Steflon Don and Sean Paul, but Idris steals the show. I may not understand 97% of what they're saying, but damn. He really did that. This will also put Steflon Don out there more before the ANN remix. (Sunday 10 March 2019; 14:57)

Gimme a beat (88,174) by Norman from USA I wonder why Mariah shies away from hard beats. When I heard "Emotionless" from Drake, where he samples the Emotions intro, it got me wondering why she doesn't drop some beats like that. Hip hop artists aren't known for being dancers, so why couldn't it work for Mariah? I love the Caution album, but I do wish some of the songs had more of an edge to them.

Merry Christmas (87,224) by Norman from USA To all my MCA peeps. (Tuesday 25 December 2018; 09:37)

Re: (87,141) (87,145) by Norman from USA Oh no I'm really sorry to hear that, B. My sincerest condolences to you and your family. (Wednesday 19 December 2018; 17:57)

Re: AIWFCIY playlist (87,039) (87,043) by Norman from USA Anytime. (Saturday 15 December 2018; 14:56)

AIWFCIY playlist (87,037) by Norman from USA Hello all. I made a playlist that I thought might be helpful for any of you that might want to stream the song in the background or overnight. I usually leave it on overnight with the headphones plugged in, and the volume set very low (not mute). Every other song on here is AIWFCIY, with all the rest of the songs being from either her Christmas albums or the Caution album. I figured it couldn't hurt to get some extra streams in there. Please feel free to share with anyone who might enjoy doing this, too. Cheers. (Friday 14 December 2018; 13:22)

Re: 8th Grade (86,779) (86,809) by Norman from USA B, I actually get an Aaliyah vibe from Caution. Maybe it's just me. Don't really feel it on 8th Grade. Love the song though. (Monday 3 December 2018; 13:25)

Music Box v. Daydream v. Merry Christmas (86,721) by Norman from USA Vocals only. I know that Daydream is considered her vocal prime, but there's something about her vocals on Merry Christmas that seems to stand just a tad higher. MC > DD, MB. I can't decide between DD and MB. What say you? (Saturday 1 December 2018; 10:16)

Almost Home (86,643) by Norman from USA "No offense to whoever wrote it." I thought she wrote it. Am I not reading that correctly? (Thursday 29 November 2018; 08:11)

Re: Caution next single should be? (86,270) (86,283) by Norman from USA Amen to that. It's on a perpetual loop here. I just wonder if she'll actually do it. Big productions haven't been a thing for her since about TMB. (Tuesday 20 November 2018; 10:59)

Re: Caution next single should be? (86,252) (86,282) by Norman from USA Can you imagine a John Waters directed video for A No No? I'd die. (Tuesday 20 November 2018; 10:47)

Re: Rainbow era interview (85,839) (85,845) by Norman from USA Terna, I really miss her doing interviews like this. They're just such natural/free flowing conversations. And you can just tell how much knowledge she has about every aspect of the business. Le sigh. (Monday 12 November 2018; 09:08)

Re: With You challenge (84,846) (84,865) by Norman from USA I think it should a funny singing into a hairbrush challenge - with guys appearing out of ones skirt. (Sunday 14 October 2018; 19:16)

Re: GTFO snips (83,695) (83,707) by Norman from USA Preach it, Ethan. (Thursday 13 September 2018; 07:13)

Re: New release (83,600) (83,607) by Norman from USA Tijl, may I ask where you saw this info? The possibility of this being accurate is completely disheartening and perplexing. Le sigh. (Thursday 6 September 2018; 23:52)

Re: Just sayin' (78,679) (78,681) by Norman from USA Andrew, I hope you're brother is better soon; thankful he's home. Spending a day like that is scary and taxing on everyone. (Sunday 8 October 2017; 02:21)

Martyn (75,697) by Norman from USA My only connection to Martyn was through this board. And even that was limited to my liking his posts from time to time. Still, the news of his passing has shaken me in ways I didn't expect. I've openly wept for him, for the grief his loved ones must be going through, and the utter senselessness of this whole ordeal. My heart is heavy for all those who knew and loved him. May you rest in peace, Martyn. (Thursday 25 May 2017; 11:47)

Re: Nick on Wendy (74,820) (74,824) by Norman from USA Um, that would be an emphatic no. Perish the thought. *shudders* (Friday 28 April 2017; 09:53)

Re: New Vevo for 90's artists (74,703) (74,706) by Norman from USA Wait. What? Seriously? Wow. I'm going to have to look it up. (Monday 24 April 2017; 04:39)

Re: New Vevo for 90's artists (74,693) (74,700) by Norman from USA I Brownstone. That song is perfection. One of my all time favorites. (Monday 24 April 2017; 00:18)

Re: The uselessness of trying to change someone (74,001) (74,017) by Norman from USA Amen to that, Marissa. (Tuesday 28 March 2017; 22:37)

The best revenge... (73,905) by Norman from USA Is success. This was not it. And it's not a dig at Remy or the original song, because I like them both individually. The problems here are: 1. This is not a remix. I don't even know what to call it, but it's definitely not that. 2. This collabo offers nothing new or needed to the track. 3. The promo for this was totally predicated on the GP's knowledge of the feud between the three women, and then doesn't deliver, in the least, on that premise. 4. By not delivering, it brings the heat down on Mariah because it's her song, and because this will be compared to Shether. It's inevitable. And it won't be pretty. This was a badly conceived and poorly executed stunt (even if I did enjoy the promo). At the end of the day, the revamping of this song won't attract any new fans for Mariah. And it won't do anything to silence those who are concerned about the lack of vision or direction in Mariah's camp. Instead, it actually bolsters the ridicule of the recent missteps, and gives the skeptics something else to hold on to. It seems like an exercise in futility. If Mariah's camp wanted to capitalize on Remy's new found fame, it would've better to collaborate on a whole new song, or completely rework this song. The song was already dead in the water, they didn't have to worry about keeping it afloat. So making a really good remix shouldn't have been a problem. Staying above the fray might've been an even better option. (Friday 24 March 2017; 10:19)
