About Stacey from USA: Been a fan since 1993. Favorite albums include Daydream, TEOM, and Music Box. I love a good discussion, but won't stand for hateful comments because we disagree. I am too old to deal with drama and so are you. Keep it real with me and we'll have some fun. Peace.

MC social media clips (107,418) by Stacey from USA I am seeing a lot of random people posting various scenes (i.e. decorating for Fall, leaving their house on a blustery day, etc) and then you hear MC sing the first few notes. People are then seen looking up at the trees as if to say, what was that? The whole concept revolves around "she's thawing" premise. I love it. Just hearing those first few notes gets me excited too.

Complex relationship (107,346) by Stacey from USA Anyone who has lost a family member knows the different feelings you can experience. While I miss my dad immensely I can't help but feel peace he's free from all the mental and physical illnesses he dealt with on Earth. Maybe in some ways this will free MC from that strain she often felt with her mom and sister. I hope she finds that peace one day.

Complex relationship (107,344) by Jamie from UK Mariah is looking great in her recent posts, she seems quite relaxed. Whilst we will never know how she is truly feeling I'm wondering if what she's recently been through has been a weight lifted off her shoulders? She's said how complex her relationship with her mother was at times and I don't even need to go there with how strained her relationship with Alison was. Maybe the worry of trying to please her family whilst not coming across as a money sponge for them is more difficult than we can understand. I may be wrong but her spirit seems lifted at the moment.

Don't Stop (Funkin' 4 Jamaica) (107,335) by Stacey from USA I about did a spit take when the article said the Grammy's liked Mariah. Apparently the article's writer didn't watch the 1996 Grammys. MC got three Grammys for TEOM. She deserved more but I'm glad she won a couple. (Sunday 8 September 2024; 05:30) this is a reply to message 107,322

Don't Stop (Funkin' 4 Jamaica) (107,322) by Robert-Anthony from United States MC should have won a Grammy for Glitter. Also, according to this article, TEOM was snubbed at Grammys in 2006. I wonder why no one has ever talked about it. (Friday 6 September 2024; 04:23)

Ms. Patti tribute (107,298) by Stacey from USA One of her best live performances for sure. (Monday 2 September 2024; 19:59) this is a reply to message 107,295

Ms. Patti tribute (107,295) by Robert-Anthony from United States I love this performance. (Sunday 1 September 2024; 11:03)

Thinking of you MC at this impossible time (107,291) by Stacey from USA Agreed. I lost my dad in 2018 at age 79. He suffered from long term anxiety and depression. I miss him terribly but am at peace knowing he's in a better place. I hope Mariah's sister and her mother can find that peace as well. Nothing can prepare you for what feelings you experience when you lose a parent. My hope is that Mariah can find peace and use her music for her own therapy and healing as she has done for all of us.

Thinking of you MC at this impossible time (107,284) by Brad from USA The day one loses their mother is the worst day of a person's life. No matter the circumstance of their communications at the time. It ends an entire part of your life irretrievably, divests one of the purest of loves and can dull the sense of what life is and holds moving forward. But things do continue on, even if all the colors of life are forever muted. I know this because I lost my beloved mother nearly two years ago. And this is how it has felt for me to continue forward. I cannot speak to what it is like to have such loss compounded by the loss of another family member such as a sibling. I think most of us can only imagine the sense of unmitigated sadness and loss. I hope we can all be the better of who we are and only offer MC the unspoken words of support and unparalleled love she has always sensed from all of us, the truest of her forever fans.

Saved (107,201) by Stacey from USA I just remember there is only one you. I suffer from anxiety and depression. So did my dad. My 15 year old daughter is battling those demons as well. Sometimes in my darkest nights, I was so grateful the sun rose. It meant I made it through another night. Music in general is my therapy.

Saved (107,198) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway This community must be one of the best communities in the world. I listened to all of you, and just woke from one of the best nights of my life. Thanks to Jamie who reached out to me personally, and to all the other lambs, thank you again And Mariah, please never change, but you know that better than me, it's like a blessing from the skies, it's intense, and it's right. Your Christmas shows may be a bit early for me, but I hope to see you in 2025, maybe I'm just talking to myself, who knows, right? Lambs, keep on posting, we saved ourselves tonight, and that feels juuuust right. Have a splendid Monday, going to start on medication today, who cares if I might gain 20 pounds, It will all be off before first of November. (Monday 12 August 2024; 06:38)

Taylor Swift concerts cancelled (107,163) by Stacey from USA Yes. Clones. That perfectly describes the music scene today. No distinct sounds. I listen to a local radio station that plays hits from the 70s, 80s, and 90s. What a diverse listening experience. (Friday 9 August 2024; 03:01) this is a reply to message 107,161

Taylor Swift concerts cancelled (107,161) by Jamie from UK Very sad times we live in. How did it get to this. And your [sic] right, there was something for everyone in the 90's, now everything is the same and a clone of each other. (Friday 9 August 2024; 02:11)

Taylor Swift concerts cancelled (107,158) by Stacey from USA Seriously so sad the times we live in. I remember growing up in the 80s and 90s. Life was so simple. Kids had to get creative, use their imaginations to have fun. We rode bikes. We used the street light to tell us it was time to come inside. I guess I'm a fan of the 90s because there was talent on the radio, not just Mariah. Real talent not needing technology to do the work due them. Toward the end of the decade, things began to change. Plus, I remember in the 90s there was music for everyone. Grunge. Pop. R&B. Gangsta Rap. Everyone had something. Anyway, I hope MC returns to her 90s roots with an updated current twist. If that never happens, I still have a lot of MC music to listen to over and over again. (Friday 9 August 2024; 00:47) this is a reply to message 107,155

Taylor Swift concerts cancelled (107,155) by MusicfanJ from Germany Have you heard about this? Three concerts are cancelled because of danger of terror in Vienna. I feel for those 200.000 people who just wanted to have a good time. I'm so sick of such news, every day. That's another reason why I miss the 90ies. You could go everywhere without having a bad feeling. It's such a shame what's going on nowadays. Sorry off topic, but I wanted to share this. (Thursday 8 August 2024; 10:06)

Return to roots (107,131) by Stacey from USA I could not have said it any better. Go back and read Jamie's post again. It's how a lot of us long time fans feel. (Wednesday 7 August 2024; 02:37) this is a reply to message 107,117

Return to roots (107,117) by Jamie from UK I was just listening to Music Box and Emotions in the gym, and it got me thinking why Mariah never returned to doing a mainly ballad album with a few uptempo numbers. Yes she likes RnB but that doesn't mean it has to be your main focus for the rest of your career. Those types of albums worked for her and it's a shame she got stuck in the same RnB vibe for so long. Going back to a ballad album and then next album after that could have been more RnB. Do you think it's more to do with proving to Tommy that she can make it no matter what? I just think it would have been nice for her to experiment a bit more over the years, show us she's still got that soul sound she had on Emotions and the heart wrenching lyrics of Music Box. Just seems to me she made up her mind to break away from what she was and take a completely new direction and leave her core fan base behind. I'm grateful for the music we've had over the years but it would have been nice and I think beneficial to her career/likability with the general public had she not complete abandoned the image and music she was most famous for. Give us back that Soul influenced, Gospel loving Mariah that we knew and mix it with some RnB and you will have some happy lambs. I get she was affected by Tommy but that was 28 years ago now. Yes she's had some great success since but the diva show and lackluster songs are not working for her anymore. Surely she must see that. She always reflects on the great early days of her career in a positive way now, she needs to dig deep into herself and bring out the caring likeable lady she once was. (Monday 5 August 2024; 18:25)

Told y'all (107,098) by Stacey from USA Sometimes you just have to sit back and quietly watch all the crazy conspiracy theories come true. (Sunday 4 August 2024; 05:48) this is a reply to message 107,095

Told y'all (107,095) by T from USA After she released the Yes, And remix I told you that she wasn't going to release a new album this year but instead concentrate on festivals, one off concerts and Vegas until it's time for Christmas. Everyone tried to insult me and said I was being negative when I was only telling the truth. I think some of you need to reassess your relationship with the truth and being able to accept it. It's too bad most lambs did nothing to support her two musical remix recordings this year to hold us over because Mariah won't be releasing a full album of new material until 2026. That's just the truth. Take it or leave it. (Saturday 3 August 2024; 21:36)

Article: Mariah celebrates 30th anniversary of "Merry Christmas" (107,092) by Stacey from USA I think at this point in her career, she should celebrate album anniversaries. Release more Rarities-type albums. Dig into that dang vault, lol. "I'm so excited"' just thinking about what she could possibly release for Daydream's 30th next year. Ya know Daydream and me go back like babies n' pacifiers. (Saturday 3 August 2024; 00:40) this is a reply to message 107,091

Article: Mariah celebrates 30th anniversary of "Merry Christmas" (107,091) by Robert-Anthony from United States MC is using her Queen of Christmas desigination and album anniversaries to work for her benefit. I am going to buy a ticket to see MC in Austin. I suppose Friday, November 8th or 15th will have something special released on one of those days. (Friday 2 August 2024; 23:11)

Christmas shows (107,090) by Stacey from USA I posted awhile back I'll be shocked if we ever see MC16 because with this Christmas concert news, you know where her head is. I can't blame her, though. She'll make more money these days milking the Christmas cash cow than releasing an album. (Friday 2 August 2024; 23:01) this is a reply to message 107,086

Christmas shows (107,086) by Nick G from Germany Well, as I said, she becomes more and more Joan Crawfish. MC is er Baby Jane. RIP #16. (Friday 2 August 2024; 17:28)

If It’s Over? (107,089) by Stacey from USA Why thank you for calling me a kid. Best compliment ever, lol. (Friday 2 August 2024; 22:55) this is a reply to message 107,083

If It’s Over? (107,083) by TJ from Norway You're just a kid. I was older. (Friday 2 August 2024; 14:26)

If It’s Over? (107,078) by Stacey from USA I was 18 when Daydream was released. I am now 46. Talk about feeling old. (Thursday 1 August 2024; 22:30) this is a reply to message 107,074

If It’s Over? (107,074) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, it is a very long time. I became a fan with Daydream and sometimes I can't believe it's been such a long time. I grew up with her music. I also can never let Mariah go. I just want the best for her. If you're a fan/lamb for such a long time it's really a special feeling. (Thursday 1 August 2024; 17:53)

If It’s Over? (107,077) by Stacey from USA It's usually a skip song for me. However, her performance at the Grammys is in a league of its own. Superhuman. (Thursday 1 August 2024; 22:26) this is a reply to message 107,070

If It’s Over? (107,070) by Shezz from Pk Mariah loves it when we relate to her songs on a personal level. I don't think we collectively can relate to any song more than we can all probably relate to "If It's Over" right now. From the first word to the very last. The song just hits different now. Give it a go. (Thursday 1 August 2024; 11:19)

Back to Mariah (107,069) by Stacey from USA Very creative title. I love it. (Thursday 1 August 2024; 02:21) this is a reply to message 107,066

Back to Mariah (107,066) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Underneath the Christmas Three is genious. (Wednesday 31 July 2024; 23:48)

Back to Mariah (107,063) by Stacey from USA I'm beginning to wonder if MC16 will ever happen, lol. (Wednesday 31 July 2024; 19:18) this is a reply to message 107,057

Back to Mariah (107,057) by Edward from USA Do you guys think MC16 will Mariah's final album, and how would you feel if it were? (Wednesday 31 July 2024; 14:16)

Inspirational songs (107,058) by Stacey from USA Already forgotten. Thank you. Life is too short to hold grudges with people in my personal lives and strangers on a message board. Plus, you're a fellow Libra, so I definitely can't stay mad. Carey on. (Wednesday 31 July 2024; 16:54) this is a reply to message 107,053

Inspirational songs (107,053) by Libra Lamb from USA Same here, I'll be looking for new music, movies and TV series to distract myself from all the craziness around the elections. It's a shame that we live in a beautiful world that can be so ugly and unpleasant at the same time. Life is short and wonderful if we can look past all the horrible things around us and not let them affect us in a negative manner. I am truly sorry that I offended anyone, I know that I could be more diplomatic in my comments and I've failed miserably at that. I believe everyone has the right to live their lives as they choose without judgement. Stacey I'm sorry for my negative comments directed at you. (Wednesday 31 July 2024; 08:04)

Inspirational songs (107,051) by Stacey from USA Me too. I'm always so glad when election day comes and goes away. I don't have to see those ADs anymore, lol. (Wednesday 31 July 2024; 05:47) this is a reply to message 107,047

Inspirational songs (107,047) by Robert-Anthony from United States I am not looking forward to everything that leads up to election day in November. The name calling, the political ads during primetime programming, and the uneasy political climate irritates me from September to November. I hope this Fall TV season's new shows like Poppa's House (CBS), Brillant Minds (NBC), Georgie's and Mandy's First Marriage (CBS), Happy Place (NBC), and Elsbeth (CBS) can brighten my mood this fall. (Wednesday 31 July 2024; 02:09)

Inspirational songs (107,049) by Stacey from USA Yes. That's exactly what I am doing. No trying needed. I gave you direct quote. Want another one? I've got plenty. BFF gave you examples too. You can't say Trump is racist and that makes it true. You have to argue for it. What has he done, actions, that prove your claim? Facts don't care about your feelings. (Wednesday 31 July 2024; 02:49) this is a reply to message 107,040

Inspirational songs (107,040) by Steve from USA Stacey, come on now. You're gonna try to tell us that Trump isn't racist but Biden is? First of all that isn't even relevant now, and secondly it's patently false. Biden may be a gaffe machine, but racist he is not. Trump doesn't even bother with dog whistle politics, he says the quiet part out loud, in the rare instance he makes any sense at all. I mean, you tell yourself what you need to, but the Trump Vance ticket is racist (Vance: I love my wife even though she's not white), misogynist, anti lgbtq, etc. It's the "take us back to the good old days when the white guys ruled everything" ticket. And this is coming from a white (gay) guy. If you truly believe in what you're saying, you may need to diversify your news sources. And now let's get back to talking about Mariah, who ain't voting for Trump. (Tuesday 30 July 2024; 21:27)

Inspirational songs (107,048) by Stacey from USA I'm not from Michigan. I'm from Southern California. But I still root for Michigan whenever they play Penn St or Ohio St. Gymnastics. I wanted the USA men to get a medal. They had not won a team medal since 2008. So fun to watch them get the bronze. (Wednesday 31 July 2024; 02:30) this is a reply to message 107,043

Inspirational songs (107,043) by Tevin from USA Same. It was great. Frederick (Go Blue, if you're from Michigan), and the crew are really making me interested in men's gymnastics. They are amazing. (Tuesday 30 July 2024; 22:13)

Inspirational songs (107,046) by Stacey from USA Absolutely. That is something we surely can agree on. (Wednesday 31 July 2024; 01:58) this is a reply to message 107,045

Inspirational songs (107,045) by Libra Lamb from USA I would just encourage everyone to do their research, cross check their information, and make an educated decision in November as well as get involved in their local politics and elections. Don't take my word for anything or anyone else's, go seek the truth and go from there. At the end of the day we will all vote for whomever and have to live with those decisions. I'm not here to sway anyone or educate anyone on anything. (Wednesday 31 July 2024; 01:19)

Inspirational songs (107,038) by Stacey from USA How about we stick to Mariah Carey topics or the Olympics. Plenty to talk about there. I watched the men's team gymnastics final yesterday. What a competition. Every stuck landing made me jumpy out of my seat. (Tuesday 30 July 2024; 19:24) this is a reply to message 107,033

Inspirational songs (107,033) by Libra Lamb from USA For the record, I don’t think you’re a racist. Transphobic, yes, but I never called you, Stacey specifically, a racist. It was a general comment and referring to the cultists. If you took it that way I’m sorry. (Tuesday 30 July 2024; 16:06)

Inspirational songs (107,037) by Stacey from USA Biden: "If you have a problem, figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't black." He said that during the 2020 campaign. What a racist statement. So that means all his supporters are racists? Of course not. Hunter Biden lied on a federal form to buy a gun. Does that mean all Biden supporters are liars? No. Democrats use race all the time when talking about policies. Trump does the exact same thing during a debate, arguing against illegal immigration, and it's racist and so are his supporters? The media creates this perception that Trump and his supporters are racists. Where is the proof? I just can't anymore with this logic. Carey on. (Tuesday 30 July 2024; 19:21) this is a reply to message 107,032

Inspirational songs (107,032) by Steve from USA I followed this thread back a bit to make sense of it. I understand that Trump supporters may not consider themselves racist. I'm sorry, but you may feel that way, but Trump supporters are all complicit in his racist rhetoric. I mean, just take his comments from the debate, which he only won because Biden was a deer in headlights. "They are taking all the black jobs." This may not be an accurate direct quote, but it's close. Who are "they"? What are "black jobs"? It's a misguided attempt at gaining support among people of color. Immigrants are stealing the crappy jobs that nobody wants, which of course would normally go to black people. I'm not sure he even realizes how racist that is, because it's so engrained in him. Tell yourself whatever you need to, if you want to continue to support Trump, but know you're voting for a racist, misogynist ticket, and a man who is telling us straight up he's going to crown himself king. (Tuesday 30 July 2024; 15:46)

Inspirational songs (107,031) by Stacey from USA Mr. Big (You): "I don't get it." Carrie Bradshaw (Me): "And you never did." Good, respectful, healthy political conversation is a lost art. Stop the name calling. That's all I've been trying to say to you. It has no place in conversation no matter the topic. If that makes me a loser, cultist, such a horrible person in your eyes, then I'm guilty as charged. Shame on me for arguing such a thing. SMH.

Inspirational songs (107,000) by Libra Lamb from USA I'm not sure which part of toilet paper you didn't understand. I can't begin to grasp the mentality of the far right MAGA cult that supports Trump. He's a very dangerous person and already denying the upcoming elections results. Democracy is at stake here. It's bigger than you and I, name calling, money, political correctness, self righteousness, etc. There's so much at stake that I'm not worried about how I feel or how I make someone else feel. I don't mince my words and I call it like I see it. Have you seen people wearing a fake bandage on their ear? The cultists will make excuses for Trump that they won't even make for themselves or their loved ones. If it quacks like a cult, and walks like a cult, it's a cult. I get my news from multiple respectable sources, not the Trump media, Fox News and Tik Tok. I've done my research. You don't have to do yours, that's my problem. I'm not here to school you.
