About Lady B from USA: I Wish You Well

Tommy or no career at all (103,142) by Lady B from USA
To the contrary, it is well documented that there was a bidding war for her first deal. That's why she had enough leverage to own her masters.

Bliss (103,060) by Lady B from USA
I listened to Bliss again for the first time in a long time. So hauntingly beautiful, slowly building sensuality, a strikingly different use of the whistle, lustful ballad. One of my favorites. I think it's highly underrated.

Emotionally stiff (103,041) by Lady B from USA
You're entitled to your opinion and people are entitled to their opinions, and their opinions on your opinions. You're free to critique, and be critiqued. Now that we have that settled.

Emotionally stiff (103,012) by Lady B from USA
How anyone could listen to Vanishing on her debut album and think she was emotionally stiff until several albums later is beyond me, but we all have opinions.

Hope you feel better soon, Robert. Sending you good vibes.

Like I said, Mariah seems to be really focused on spending time with her family, which is wonderful to see. Wishing her the best.

Kelly Clarkson comment (102,932) by Lady B from USA
I think the folks who pay close attention like the people on this board and the industry people (Songwriter HOF) recognize/know she's a songwriter too, while your average bear probably thinks of her solely as a singer.

Juxtapose that to Kanye or Dr. Dre, who I think most folks think of as both producers and rappers, not solely rappers. Again, I'm talking the casual fans, not folks like us or voters for the Songwriter HOF.

Pride performance (102,870) by Lady B from USA
I don't miss out on an opportunity to see Mariah live and happened to be in LA for her Pride performance. I'm here to tell you, the best part was the energy that both the crowd and she gave each other. It was truly a celebratory moment and she did so many versions of songs I had not heard before. Most of all, she and the crowd both seemed to be having the time of their lives. Didn't hurt that she looked amazing and her dancers certainly played up to the audience. Good vibes all around.

Forbes richest women, no Mariah (102,847) by Lady B from USA
The folks on the list are there primarily for their business ventures/money earned outside of music. Rihanna isn't worth $1.4B because of her music, but her beauty company and other ventures. One might say they leveraged their popularity better from a business POV, but it's hard to argue the music point. Fair?

And I think you had a typo in your reply. In any event, yes, I meant to reply to Bill's last reply. You got me.

Forbes richest women, no Mariah (102,835) by Lady B from USA
Actually you've said the people on the list are there instead of her because they were more popular than her at the height of her career which is an opinion, not a fact, and is undercut by objective data.

The truth is that the people on the list are on the list mostly for ventures they have done outside of music, not their music careers. Good for them and their teams.

Forbes richest women, no Mariah (102,815) by Lady B from USA
"all of those artists... way more popular than (Mariah) at her peak"

No one on that list had more #1 hits than Mariah did over her top 5 year period and definitely not overall so that's an odd statement, but we're all entitled to our opinions, no matter how flawed they are.

Anyone else see her latest IG post with the dogs where she mentions studio time?

Mother's Day (102,729) by Lady B from USA
Happy Mother's Day to the queen. It's her most important role and if the love they seem to share is any guide, she's doing it even better than her 19 #1 hit music career. Here's hoping they spoiled her rotten.

Legacy (102,611) by Lady B from USA
Her legacy will be 19 (and counting?) #1 hits, more than any solo artist in history, one behind The Beatles. Her legacy will be her induction into the R&R Hall of Fame. Her legacy will be that she wrote or co-wrote 18 of those 19 #1 hits. Her legacy will be scoring #1 hits in 4 decades, which has never been done before.

That's her legacy, of which individual songs are part of but certainly not overshadowing the whole. No one will ever tell her tale as an artist without noting that she has more #1 hits than any solo artist in history.

If you were a star would you.... (102,568) by Lady B from USA
1. Read your social media comments/replies?
2. Read your fan boards?
Bonus question:
3. If you were the star that is the subject of this fan board, would you read it a second time? (Assuming you checked it once and saw the content, would you come back?)

I'll Be Loving U Long Time video (102,485) by Lady B from USA
That video is one of her all-time best, in my opinion. She looks gorgeous, and genuinely seems like she's having fun filming it. Also a highly underrated song.

Observation (102,462) by Lady B from USA
1) Many are doing a great job proving my original point, which was that folks have a lot of time to post negative things about her, before, during and immediately after her anniversary, but no time to wish her the best on her anniversary. That tells me all I need to know about a lot of folks around here. I'm not talking about people who had other stuff to do that week, but folks who were posting on the board a lot during the days before, during and after but had no well wishes.

2) Re: athletes, I won't indulge the rabbit hole this has gone down. I will ask, which singers at this stage of their career have #1 hits and put out quality albums all the time? Name names. Who is this fictitious model of what a singer at this stage should be doing that folks hold her to? How many have had #1 hits in 4 decades?

3) You say she's focused on more things than just music like that's a bad thing. I sure hope she is, she's building and supporting a family, not spending 24/7 every day putting an album out every year, and has certainly earned the right to explore many different areas of her life and interests.
