About jaker20 from US: You Will Never Be MC

Sometimes the voice gets in the way of the music (101,902) by jaker20 from US
It is not a coincidence that this chapter of her career is turning out to be another huge one, and she's just getting started. Every year, the song gets bigger and bigger.

It's because when you strip out the melisma and all that vocal acrobatics that many lambs adore, but many in the public actually despise, the true magic is revealed: the music.

We get to focus on the music. It's always been about the music and enjoying everything about it, I can go to a Mariah show, and enjoy just that, in whatever form Mariah's voice is in, does not make her any less than, or enjoy the show any less.

AIWFIY is on its path for Song of the Decade.

Why is everyone surprised? (101,879) by jaker20 from US
So here you are, obsessing over a 2006 performance and say you care about her? Touch grass babes. You're here to insult and mock her. That's fun, your life is.

So what (101,878) by jaker20 from US
Hon stop fooling yourself. You dont "care" about Mariah. You want to wheel her into a hospital and get fixed so that you can get entertained.

"Honey, you use to be a 10, now you're a 5, you should get treatment cause I don't like this, surgery or watch your waistline or I don't like you anymore."

Hilarious. Lol.

I mean what else is new lol. These people are miserable in their lives, so they take it on Mariah. Like I said, she's their favorite punching bag. Nothing new, it's the same last month, it's the same every year. You can click the back button of the forum from last year. Same people. Same posts.

Some of them literally wake up in the morning, and refresh this page and see what miserable thing they can post about Mariah lol.

Who was actually there? Toronto shows (101,820) by jaker20 from US
Since my post was censored, let me just rephase that. No, I don't think any of them were there (as usual). It's just another negativity group think (as usual) because Mariah is their favorite punch bag (as usual). And apparently their opinion matters more than those who were actually there and enjoyed the show because they decided to focus on that. Hopefully, this is a much nicer post.

And yet here you are talking about the most boring stuff. You're not exactly the person to talk. It's not like you have anything to say yourself.

Why can't her videos be like that It's Time promo (101,587) by jaker20 from US
I agree. I will add Obsessed in that list. Mariah is naturally funny and that should be showcased more on her videos. Mariah's best videos are the ones where she's actually being funny and wacky and not taking herself seriously.

Soundtracks (101,488) by jaker20 from US
You're going in circles my dear, because I caught you backpeddaling. Take a deep breath, it's not personal. Anyway, at least you finally open mind a little? When you say you want her to do jazz and gospel, great. Now we're going somewhere. See, that's easy to do, I don't randomly shoot down ideas.

Because, at this stage of her career, she should be free to do anything, specially areas where the potential is limitless (soundtracks). It's a genre that doesn't have many biases, and doesn't have as much time constraints.

She can whip up a song, or something that's already on her vault, and not be burdened releasing a full album.

Is that "spending her remaining years"? Don't be dramatic hon. Rihanna, who is basically retired, recorded something for Black Panther. Many artists wrote soundtrack songs long after their peaks, then gets Oscar nominated even though no one heard them.

In the end, you need to let go of many of your biases as to what success means. She is 50, an icon, a legend. She should do whatever she wants. For herself. If she touches even just one person, it will be worth it.

Soundtracks (101,484) by jaker20 from US
What a weird post. You are literally saying she shouldn't do it because its "not her strong point" in spite of you praising their quality just a post prior. Read your posts again. Lets see, Tennessee. Great song. But didn't go anywhere. Therefore, she shouldn't do it again? And now you're saying Celine did it better. So what? Therefore she shouldn't do it? Im not even sure you realize how weird you sound.

I will stick by what I said. Your judgement on Mariah is clouded by these success metrics that you can't even consistently articulate. At this point in her career, you should be more open minded and loosen up from what she's done in the past instead shooting down ideas.

No one said soundtracks was Mary J. Blige and Beyonce's forte, but that got them nominated for Mighty River and Be Alive long after their pop star peaks. All it took was them doing it.

Soundtrack are just songs made for movies. They also take a journey of luck and unexpected results when it goes out to the public. It's also a space that doesn't discriminate based on age and style.

Mariah's done it well before, and I'm confident she can do it again.

"Never ever listen to anybody who try to discourage you, they do that. Believe me."

Soundtracks (101,480) by jaker20 from US
So you yourself call Tennesse being "heartfelt and unique" and Glitter a "great album and great concept", but because they didn't chart well, you devalue the whole effort like they're worthless. Arts not charts. Move on. When I say lambs are chart-obsessed your post is a great example yet again.

And When You Believe is a great iconic song. It's also one of Mariah's most streamed songs, consistently in her top 5-i, beating most of her "hits". The disrespect some of you have on her "non hit songs" is gross.

Soundtracks (101,478) by jaker20 from US
What I want Mariah to do is record soundtrack songs. Because that area is accepting to any artists, any age, any style. And its exposure has more unpredictable results thats doesn't depend on her promoting it, which lets face it, she doesn't do much anymore. Soundtracks have a life of its own. She's been in the industry for along time, and I had hoped that she's connected with many artists to jump into soundtracks of different movies.

Mariah Carey appreciation (101,477) by jaker20 from US
No one has Mariah's career. No. One. No artist manage to dominate pop music for an entire generation. And then dominates a full season in a year, every year. Many have one or the other, but not both. It's so easy to forget what she's achieved. Her career is incomparable to anyone. That's not hyperbole. That is fact. Try it. You can't name one like her career (male or female).

Christmas surprises (101,476) by jaker20 from US
Why sit this out? This is literally the only time of the year that Mariah goes out there to perform and most actively connecting to fans, and can truly call her own.

I'm not sure why people seem to think her Christmas achievement can come naturally and can just easily sit it out and reap the benefits. She kept promoting this song since the song's inception every Christmas which means for the last 25 years, and finally reaping the benefits of her perseverance. And just 5 years ago, stans of other artists mocks Mariah as being nothing but a Christmas artist. Until she hit no.1 and now they all want the same legacy.

Just because Mariah is the "Queen of Christmas" doesn't mean that achievement can't be snatched by another artist very easily. Kelly for example has been going hard every Christmas and has been gaining. Ariana is doing the same. They are just waiting for an opening.

So no, she can't "sit this one out". Unless she is releasing a new Christmas song.

That was also more than 20 years ago. "Where did this Mariah go?" Some here were a fetus back then. Me, I was in grade school, where was that kid who had booger hanging out my nose walking around the school. I was so adorable. You should post where you were no? Just to illustration how mind-boggling your expectations are?
