Re: BBMA (89,112) (89,127) by B from USA Artist of the Decade? Was her Artist of the Millennium Award given to her by Billboard? I can't remember. (Thursday 11 April 2019; 23:40)

Re: Article: Mariah to receive Icon Award at Billboard Music Awards (89,118) (89,126) by B from USA I think Billboard wanted to award an actual musical icon this year after the backlash they received for giving the award to JLo. (Thursday 11 April 2019; 23:38)

Re: Caution 93k (89,121) (89,125) by B from USA No, I was still here I just didn't write any messages, lol. (Thursday 11 April 2019; 23:35)

At least it's before... (89,124) by Matty from Vancouver Canada It's so odd that JLo got BBIA before MC. Although I guess culturally her impact has been massive. Her and Bey seem to be the most beloved general cultural icons almost in history. However, at least she's getting this award now which will be used, I'm sure, to promote "Caution" (like JLo did with AKA, being promoted in 2014). At least Mimi is receiving her award before Madonna, Sting, Britney Spears, Paul McCartney (hello Beatles, 21 #1s on Billboard), Diana Ross, U2, Jay-Z, Eminem, to name a few.

Matty / How singles are chosen (89,123) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) I agree with your choices for the E=MC2 era. All of these songs were very radio friendly and it definitely would have broken the mold of always releasing the uptempo/mid tempo/ ballad formula. I think that formula would have been a great success. (Thursday 11 April 2019; 22:25)

Iconic response (89,122) by Andrew from London, UK Icon Award? Turn it down Mariah. Turn it down. J Lo got it before you? Turn it down. How Mariah Carey would that be? Haha. "Thanks, but I still don't know her, and I definitely don't know you." (Thursday 11 April 2019; 21:43)

Re: Caution 93k (89,120) (89,121) by Bill from the UK You did leave for like an hour though that one time. (Thursday 11 April 2019; 20:39)

Re: Caution 93k (89,097) (89,120) by B from USA Despite my disdain for ceartin members and the unrelenting negativity I'm not going anywhere, dahling. (Thursday 11 April 2019; 20:00)

Re: Caution 93k (89,101) (89,119) by B from USA I would like to remove myself from this narrative. (Thursday 11 April 2019; 19:53)

Article: Mariah to receive Icon Award at Billboard Music Awards (89,118) by Dennis from Miami, FL Such a short notice. And receiving this award after JLo. (Thursday 11 April 2019; 19:16)

Re: 2019 BBMA (89,108) (89,117) by SM from Citizen of the World I wish she wasn't performing. Just except the award and leave lol. (Thursday 11 April 2019; 18:23)

Re: How are singles chosen? (89,103) (89,116) by Matty from Vancouver Canada TMB, followed by Migrate, followed by I'll Be Lovin' u Long Time (just Mimi, no T.I) and finally I'm That Chick (with a cameo from MJ in the video, playing with the Off The Wall sample) would have been great. All up-beat, no ballads; would have given her a totally fresh approach and reflected the vibe of the album perfectly. The album could have been marketed as a total celebration of life and being on top of the world. I absolutely love the "I Stay In Love" video and ahhhh those ISIL remixes changed workout-life, but the standard version is absolutely the first WBT wanna cousin. Part of the problem with "Bye Bye" was the video. How did we go from an epic cinematic master piece like TMB to the Bye Bye Video? At least the "I Stay In Love" was theater and had that unforgettable car explosion. I love For The Record. I just wouldn't have seen it getting much radio play. (Thursday 11 April 2019; 18:22)

Lara (89,115) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) This performance will be a medley of her greatest hits and probably one new song if anything she would probably do the album version of ANN if she decides to perform it. (Thursday 11 April 2019; 17:47)

Shezz (89,114) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) For me there is no debate at all, my friend Mariah has been overlooked one too many times for prestigious awards that she is more than deserving of. My comment regarding flaws is based on how she is treated for just being herself. (Thursday 11 April 2019; 17:44)

Icon Award, Oakdale show, ABMB remix (89,113) by Brad from USA Hey fellow lambs. I am so happy MC seems to be in a good place to receive this award. Few things gave me greater joy than picking up Billboard magazine every Friday afternoon at my university's library, back in the day, and seeing MC atop all the various charts and to see those bullets next to her singles and albums gave me chills. I probably have pages I ripped out of those magazines in my MC vault somewhere. The Oakdale show last week was fantastic, I could write a lot. I will spare you except to say two things: (1) I do wish the pace of the show could have been slowed to sip, for a bit longer, the fine wine that was MC's powerful performance of songs like Never Too Far, Love Takes Time and AYNAF (I'm always saddened to see the show end), and (2) MC sang the Mr.Dupri Remix ft. Xscape of ABMB and said "y'all don't know this". Oh but Mariah, how we know every last word of that remix that gave us life in the spring of 1996 as we studied for our law school exams in our dorm room outside Philly. We may not know a lot of wannabees but we know that song honey, oh yes we do. Be well to yourselves and others and may God bless. (Thursday 11 April 2019; 17:39)

BBMA (89,112) by Randy from USA Doesn't she already have this or a similar award from them? (Thursday 11 April 2019; 17:23)

Re: 2019 BBMA (89,108) (89,111) by B from USA I don't. She's performing a medley of her #1's which she'll probably end with A No No. (Thursday 11 April 2019; 17:17)

Re: Billboard Award (89,105) (89,110) by B from USA Long overdue. (Thursday 11 April 2019; 17:14)

Re: Billboard Icon Award (89,104) (89,109) by RibbonB from USA Congrats to Mimi. (Thursday 11 April 2019; 17:12)

2019 BBMA (89,108) by Lara from Middle East Could be her last chance to revive "A No No" with a good performance. Do you think she'll bring both Shawni and Stefflon Don to perform with her? (Thursday 11 April 2019; 16:37)

Re: 2019 BBMA Icon award (89,106) (89,107) by Shezz from Pk Wow. "Deserved despite her flaws" is a little harsh. I know you're saying she deserves it but that just sounded like you had to debate it in your head first if she deserved it or not (especially considering some of the past recipients). Anyway, I'm glad she is finally getting it. (Thursday 11 April 2019; 16:27)

2019 BBMA Icon award (89,106) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) This award definitely deserved despite her flaws and everything in between you can never deny what she means and has brought to pop culture, and music. MC is definitely the embodiment of what this award signifies. Congratulations MC you are definitely an icon and please accept this award with pride, and grace. (Thursday 11 April 2019; 15:55)

Billboard Award (89,105) by Tijl from Belgium I am very glad that Mariah will receive the Icon Award at the upcoming Billboard Awards. The recognition that is beyond due. (Thursday 11 April 2019; 15:45)

Billboard Icon Award (89,104) by B from USA Mariah will receive the Billboard Icon Award this year. (Thursday 11 April 2019; 15:31)

Re: How are singles chosen? (89,100) (89,103) by Bill from the UK Single choices by the label are a mystery not just for Mariah but for most artists. To those of you who know Tori Amos, her first single in the UK was a track called Me and a Gun, a harrowing acapella account of her rape. Needless to say after a few weeks of no airplay a much more radio friendly song was chosen to launch the album. (Thursday 11 April 2019; 15:18)
