Re: Article: Mariah Carey fans aren't impressed with singer's vocals (93,378) (93,380) by Musti from UK It's not the worst thing she's ever done. She sounds decent, I don't see the big deal. She does tend to get carried away sometimes though, like when she put us all to sleep while singing happy birthday to Sharon Osbourne. (Thursday 26 March 2020; 13:45)

Article: Elton John hosting virtual all-star benefit special (93,379) by Andrew from the United Kingdom This is a nice idea. But, please, America, when this is all over, no Hollywood movie(s). *cue deep 80's movie trailer voice* "In a year where coronavirus has decimated the global population, one man stands alone to smash the shit out of everything. And save his little girl. This year, Dwayne Johnson is: THE VIRUS KILLERRRRR" I bet they're planning it already. Maybe Mariah can have a part as his pissed off therapist who won't cut him a check.

Re: Article: Mariah Carey fans aren't impressed with singer's vocals (93,376) (93,378) by Andrew from the United Kingdom Come on, it was weird. For the life of me I do not understand why Mariah just cannot stand still and sing a bloody song the way it's supposed to be sung without making it some sort of skit. The whistle register section was not pleasant to listen to, the head voice slowing the song down to new levels of awkwardness, and the low notes produced by some sort of guppy fish mouth. She could have just sung the few lines she had to in a normal voice and the world would have moved on. Only modern Mariah could [censored] up He's Got The Whole World In His Hands. Jesus wept.

The challenge (93,377) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Personally I did not think M would take part in the challenge. In [my] opinion I think our queen made Mariah, and honestly I was not disappointed at all. Those who were I will say you win some, you lose some. (Thursday 26 March 2020; 12:43)

Article: Mariah Carey fans aren't impressed with singer's vocals (93,376) by Betty from Canada Haters will be haters. (Thursday 26 March 2020; 12:04)

Article: "Greatest Hits" already? (93,375) by Courtney from USA Uh Columbia released Mariah's Greatest Hits after she had left the label so she had no say so in it. As for the others it's an easy way to make money particularly around the holiday season to release a greatest hits album and many of them had had more than enough hit singles to do so when they did #1's was released to tide fans over while Glitter was in development as was Rainbow when the film got postponed to its eventual September 21st 2001 release date in the US. Paul McCartney and Wings did something similar in the 1970's after 6 albums and a live album a greatest hits album was released in November 1978 their 7th studio album was released June 8th 1979 or Curb Records released Tim McGraw's first greatest hits album in November 2000 he had had 21 top 10 hits up until then 12 of them #1's that's on the hot country songs chart.

Is the secret out with Kelly, Arian JoJo and Tori? (93,374) by Bobby A from United States What is up with JoJo, Tori, Ariana and Kelly doing these MC song covers? Could it be that MC is planning an album similar to Luther Vandross' So Amazing and Aretha's Jewels In The Crown. If so, it would make perfect sense to go along with I Had A Vision Of Love. I did hear Kelly say in her video that she needs the backing track for Vanishing to be sent to her in Montana. I hope my feeling of a tribute album comes true. (Wednesday 25 March 2020; 02:45)

Re: Them low notes (93,364) (93,373) by Aliya from Canada Low notes at the beginning of "You're So Cold". Damn. (Tuesday 24 March 2020; 21:16)

Re: Net worth (93,369) (93,372) by Andrew from the United Kingdom Easy. The left one cost 90 million. And the right one cost 110 million. Because it's slightly bigger. (Tuesday 24 March 2020; 21:09)

Re: Net worth (93,369) (93,371) by Tijl from Belgium Was her net worth ever that high? I have only read about 300 million so far. Not sure if this includes real estate and her catalogue. (Tuesday 24 March 2020; 21:08)

Re: Net worth (93,369) (93,370) by Edward from USA Don't believe everything you read online. According to Mariah's prenup when she married Nick, she was worth 150 millions. These magazines and websites keep pulling numbers out of their ass. (Tuesday 24 March 2020; 16:02)

Net worth (93,369) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway How has Mariah's net worth gone from 520 millions to 320 millions in two years? Is her life that extravagant? Will Mariah go bankrupt in a couple of years? (Tuesday 24 March 2020; 15:25)

Article: Mariah Carey - Breakdown (93,368) by Lainsky from Philippines When this song was released in 1998 I was hoping Mariah to score another No.1 after "Butterfly" became disqualified to chart due to its new rules back then. Only to be disappointed again when released "Breakdown" like Butterfly, just for airplay and not as a commercial single. I believe it is one of her best work that needs to be given justice too like Glitter. It was ahead of time anyway and when I listen to it, it sounds so modern and fresh. Hope they would also make a move for #JusticeForBreakdown. (Tuesday 24 March 2020; 04:54)

Re: Them low notes (93,364) (93,367) by TJ from Norway Love them. "If It's Over" got some lovely ones. (Monday 23 March 2020; 23:41)

Re: Them low notes (93,364) (93,366) by Bill from the UK Give my all (ellipsis) for your love (ellipsis) toniiigghh-iigghhhhhttt. (Monday 23 March 2020; 21:42)

Oh dear (93,365) by enwar00 from usa I just want one day off when I can go swimming and eat ice cream and look at rainbows. (Monday 23 March 2020; 19:04)

Them low notes (93,364) by Jeff from USA So, listening to Mahalia and Ella Mai's song, "What You Did", and Ella Mai's low notes are making me crave MC's low notes. Is anyone else a fan of the low notes? (Monday 23 March 2020; 18:32)

Re: I never thought (93,360) (93,363) by Tijl from Belgium Thank you Jade. (Monday 23 March 2020; 17:53)

Tijl (93,362) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Sorry to hear about your friend, and I send my prayers to you, and all of your friend’s loved ones. Now that God is in control, and I ask him to grant you, and all the people who love, and care about your friend some peace, understanding, and strength during this difficult time. (Monday 23 March 2020; 16:58)

Re: I never thought (93,359) (93,361) by John from USA Yes, you're an SJW - seriously the biggest threat to humanity this generation has and will every face. Try to find meaning in your life, other than siphoning off energy from other people by finding something to make you feel important and good about yourself. You find heroism by seeing victims when there aren't. You are a spoiled brat without a real cause. Please find something more meaningful in your life and not infect ours. (Monday 23 March 2020; 10:11)

Re: I never thought (93,357) (93,360) by Anonymous from I'm so sorry Tijl, the news of your friend is truly heartbreaking. (Monday 23 March 2020; 09:59)

Re: I never thought (93,354) (93,359) by Lighty from China Oh, you're calling me an SJW, but am I? If someone shout to you face something like "**** USA", what would you say? I've been a frequent visitor to MCArchives since the early 00s and I read the comments on this messageboard every now and then but I just rarely talk, because my English is not very good. I enjoy so much reading you guys' comments here, even Andrew's, because sometimes I find his opinions, as direct as they are, honest and truthful. But not this time. This time, he's just being mean, as he always is. This should be my last time posting here, and I still hope you guys all safe and sound, including Andrew. One of my friends' sister, who's a nurse, went to one of the hospitals in the most infectious province to support, and she got infected too (recovering now, God bless). So please stay at home, wash hands, and wear masks. (Monday 23 March 2020; 09:58)

Re: Correct, you didn't think (93,355) (93,358) by Lighty from China I used the term "appear" because, first of all, China didn't intentionally create that virus and then whether it's caused by China or not is still hung in doubt. You may wanna watch this video where this Italian doctor stating that symptoms of the coronavirus were reported back in December or as early as November in Italy where in China the first report was in late December. I'm not trying to find an excuse, and yes, our local government tried to hide the fact (but failed at last) and it caused thousands of deaths in China, and the whole nation is blaming them, too. I just hope you could read more information before making a final conclusion. And if you still stick to your opinion, then fine. I never said anything nasty to you so I'm really disappointed that you need to directly say something like "**** you" to me. If that's a common western manner, I get it.

Re: I never thought (93,352) (93,357) by Tijl from Belgium I didn't read that message so I take back those words. The other things I wrote, not so much. Time to get real people. This is a fan board indeed, but I think most people don't quite realize what we are facing. The reality of it all: I have a friend who suffers from cancer (she isn't infected) and she will leave for the hospital today. She is in her last days. Thanks to Corona nobody will be aloud [sic] to visit her, and she will spend her last hours surrounded by complete strangers. Furthermore no decent funeral service will be possible because the current pandemic does not allow it. She will be silently buried as a child's pet goldfish. That is the effect on the world: innocent people who are ripped of basic human rights. No racism but a lot of anger because certain people have acted without any sense of responsibility or respect to others. (Monday 23 March 2020; 07:13)

Re: Correct, you didn't think (93,355) (93,356) by Aliya from Canada I think the solution should involve rules and regulations for what animals are safe to eat and which are not. A proper infectious disease list that allows people to eat animals that we know for sure do not carry viruses. These rules should be implemented worldwide. And if they are not followed, there should be serious consequences, such as jail time and fines. But yes, it is true that in China, many people have a culture where they eat animals that are odder than normal. And from this, I hope people who follow this type of culture understand the consequences of it, like the world-wide COVID-19 pandemic that is happening right now. (Monday 23 March 2020; 03:14)
