About Bradley from South Africa: Learning about life and myself everyday. Huge Mariah fan like most of us here.

Andrew (104,270) by Bradley from South Africa That's literally all he does, and he's proud of it too. It's the only way anyone engages him, there's no other way he gets attention. I've been here since 2005, and I can assure you that if Andrew was any other way, everyone would just scroll past him. If he were to just give his opinion without being condescending, he'd be a pompous bore with little reason to exist. It was cute at first, but now he's a grown man and it's kind of sad. Bless those who still tolerate him, they keep him feeling worthy. (Wednesday 29 November 2023; 00:53) this is a reply to message 104,244

Andrew (104,244) by David from USA Does Andrew do anything on this board besides spread negativity and bad vibes? Genuinely interested. (Monday 27 November 2023; 03:12)

Imagine (104,058) by Bradley from South Africa Imagine knowing that the ones you feel closest to are waiting for your next move so that they can decide whether it's your reclamation, or whether it's your demise. And we're all so entitled. We've been here for her entire career so she will always owe us something. We'll give her our unconditional support, and then we'll set the conditions for our support. How dare we consider that her life's issues have caught up with her and have slowly eaten away at her over the last few years. How dare we even think that those issues could hamper almost every effort she makes. And now that we know she's working on new music, we'll set our standards for a possible success, and she better pray hard that she impresses us. (Tuesday 14 November 2023; 23:15)

Mariah, please be ready (104,006) by Bradley from South Africa Andrew, your schtick has become tiresome. I'm objective too, and I hold musicians to a high standard, but you're the pits bro. And I know you'll reply to this with a well thought out response. Reading and listening to respond is what you do, it's what defines you. Do you ever get tired of this though? Webmaster you can delete and block me after this if you need to, I'll accept, but after reading this guys messages for over a decade, I have to suggest that he sits on a "duck". If "anal" had any other name, it would be Andrew. I'm sorry if offend here, but this is the most pleasant words I could find to sum up this person.

Mariah, please be ready (103,995) by Andrew from the UK It's hard to find a comparator for a singer but when a tennis player has an injury they do not sign up for a circuit of Grand Slams and tournaments. When a rugby player has a pulled hamstring, they are taken out of the season. If you can't sing, don't get on stage - and charge money for it? This sounds mean, maybe it is. And I think if people know what's going to happen and they buy tickets to it, then I'm all for that. But very majorly supportive of people like Adam who chooses not to buy high-price tickets to something very average. The Caution tour was Mariah's first tour in the UK I didn't attend since the Rainbow tour. Because I, likewise, didn't see the point. I'd rather spend the money on a vacation - which is what it costs now. However, I think you're missing the crux. It isn't that Mariah isn't signing so much, it's that she doesn't move, she doesn't banter much, she doesn't do much of anything. I remember attending the Christmas show at the O2 not far from me: I could see she was reading an autocue of what to say. "I have my own reindeeeeer." That isn't just a loss of confidence, that's a loss of dignity, wouldn't you say? When someone is asking Mariah to be prepared, it's a grave, grave state of affairs that this needs to be requested. But, I do hope she puts on a good show and doesn't fill YouTube with yet more toss. (Thursday 9 November 2023; 00:36)
