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. Ok? I'm too old to deal with drama and so are you. Keep it real with me and we'll have some fun. Peace.

Re: What's on your MC rotation these days? (100,564) (100,567) by Stacey from USA Vision of Love. I have that song in my head so much lately. The song that started it all. "Treated me kind..." (Saturday 25 June 2022; 00:05)

Re: What if that's just Mariah? (100,554) (100,556) by Stacey from USA Exactly Bill. I'm proud to be a goat, old school fan. Bring on the names, the negative names I just "shake it off", lol. The Billboard Icon speech was brilliant. She focused on her music, how writing songs saved her and you could really see how humbled she was to think her music saved so many others. I wished her SHOF speech expanded on the Billboard speech. Such a well deserved honor, a special night, and she's more concerned about lighting? (Thursday 23 June 2022; 04:10)

Re: Expectations vs reality (100,523) (100,527) by Stacey from USA I'm not struggling, lol. I came to terms with my expectations of Mariah vs my own beliefs a long, long time ago. With that being said, I am allowed to express those opinions just like everyone else here. I expressed an opinion, shared some personal insight on a topic and some have a problem with that. Some even mocked those struggles. That is what truly is sad. I'll always wish MC the best and appreciate her for her musical genius. "They can say anything they want to say, try to bring me down, there's a light in me that shines brightly, they can try, but they can't take that away from me." Carey on and chill out. It ain't that deep. Peace. Happy Father's Day to all the amazing guys out there, including Nick. He's a good dad and co-parents well the twins with MC. (Sunday 19 June 2022; 18:59)

Eddy (100,522) by Stacey from USA We are now considered goats. I'm so honored, aren't you? (Sunday 19 June 2022; 11:59)

Re: What if that's just Mariah? (100,514) (100,519) by Stacey from USA I don't know if I'd call suffering from anxiety and depression doing service, but to each their own, lol. As with any person, famous or not, I wish everyone the best. I listen to Mariah's music daily. (Sunday 19 June 2022; 07:55)

Re: Songwriters speech (100,500) (100,518) by Stacey from USA I've had nights where I was so glad the sun came up. I've lived through mental illness personally. With my daughter I saw the signs and got her help. What's Mariah's excuse? There is none, especially with the resources she has at her disposal. I'm not bashing her, crucifying MC for expressing the opinion that she bears responsibility. Geez. And seriously? Blame her for doing it to herself after her hypothetical death? I'll just say this: who shoved drugs down Whitney's throat? At some point you run out of excuses and need to pick up the mirror. Tragically some never do, and it's heartbreaking. All lives are precious to me. P.S. I've been pretty fair to Mariah over the years so back it up a bit. Ok? Peace. (Sunday 19 June 2022; 05:55)

Re: Songwriters speech (100,508) (100,517) by Stacey from USA Exactly. Whatever happened to personal responsibility? It's a lost art. (Sunday 19 June 2022; 05:34)

Re: Songwriters speech (100,491) (100,498) by Stacey from USA Agreed. My now 13 year old daughter started exhibiting anxiety behaviors a year ago. She scratched up her legs. I knew given my family history that she needed help. She's been on a medication for six months and her scars are healing. I got her help. Why can't Mariah do the same? Some of you need to be real careful who you call heartless or a troll simply because you don't like what we are saying. Mariah is an adult. She should know better than to mix meds with alcohol, especially mental illness meds. Stop making excuses. At some point you will run out of excuses. The only thing left will be the mirror you look at. (Saturday 18 June 2022; 00:13)

Re: Songwriters speech (100,483) (100,488) by Stacey from USA My dad suffered from bipolar, anxiety and depression his whole life. Trust me when I say I've seen it up close too many times. I myself struggle with anxiety, having severe post pardum depression after each of my three kids. I know mental illness. If anything it makes me sad when I see someone struggle. (Friday 17 June 2022; 21:02)

Re: Songwriters speech (100,475) (100,478) by Stacey from USA Yeah, it was messy. Her speech at the Billboard awards, Icon Award, was perfect. I wish she could have channeled that same thought process, saying things like writing songs helped me survive my struggles and helped many of you survive yours, etc. (Friday 17 June 2022; 19:01)

Re: Why I want another #1 (100,370) (100,380) by Stacey from USA She's been in control of her image since Butterfly. Exactly. I think Mariah is in a talent league of her own. Master-class proved that one, as if I needed more proof. But MC has always been insecure. I think the "diva, dahling" act is just that: a cover. I'd love to see how she is behind closed doors. I doubt it's anything like what we see in pubic. (Wednesday 1 June 2022; 03:45)

Re: Why I want another #1 (100,339) (100,350) by Stacey from USA Play the race card. What an eye roll. I need a drink. (Sunday 29 May 2022; 01:58)

Re: Why I want another #1 (100,334) (100,337) by Stacey from USA Bingo. Well said Ed. (Saturday 28 May 2022; 00:27)

Re: Why Hotlanta (100,266) (100,279) by Stacey from USA "Y'all know what this is?" Need I say more? (Friday 13 May 2022; 04:45)

Re: Did Mariah actually write The Roof (100,222) (100,231) by Stacey from USA Considering this was a description of a special moment with Derek Jeter, um yeah I'd say she wrote the song. Moving on. (Saturday 30 April 2022; 01:03)

Re: The Roof (When I Feel the Need) (100,192) (100,197) by Stacey from USA Well yeah it's not a JD production. No one is talking throughout the song, lol. (Sunday 17 April 2022; 18:51)

Re: Mariah Carey Masterclass (100,172) (100,173) by Stacey from USA Agreed. And she looked beautiful. That's how a 50+ year old legend should dress. (Friday 15 April 2022; 17:42)

Re: The Roof (When I Feel the Need) (100,165) (100,169) by Stacey from USA I was a little nervous once I heard MC was reworking songs from Butterfly. Ok let's face it, I was terrified, lol. This is Butterfly after all. How do you come close to replicating that masterpiece? I was pleasantly surprised. I love the different vocals. Brandy and Mariah pair well together. (Friday 15 April 2022; 05:23)

Re: #3 (100,111) (100,114) by Stacey from USA It's always bothered me Mariah didn't get that 20th #1 because Can't Let Go wasn't allowed to achieve such a great. It totally would have had Tomato not interferred, and we would potentially be talking about 21 #1 singles. I hope MC gets that 20th #1. That on top of being named Billboard's top chart artist would be icing on top of an already yummy cake. (Saturday 9 April 2022; 22:56)

Re: Lotto/Mariah (99,998) (100,012) by Stacey from USA I was in my car running some errands and Breakdown started playing. How she harmonizes her lower and upper registers during that 2nd verse just blows me away. (Monday 28 March 2022; 00:03)

Lotto/Mariah (99,996) by Stacey from USA We all know Fantasy, especially the remix, are timeless. If this remix incorporates Mariah's version of things the right way, "big if" I know, this could be the good exposure MC benefits from. Like Bill, I'll hold judgement until I hear the song. Trying to stay positive, although it's hard with Mariah these days. P.S. I listened to Breakdown today. (Sunday 27 March 2022; 05:36)

Re: Channeling my inner 90's Mariah (99,992) (99,995) by Stacey from USA I think she got close to her glory days when TEOM came out, as it reminded me of Daydream. But yeah, something definitely changed after Glitter. (Sunday 27 March 2022; 03:38)

Re: So much for my dream (99,986) (99,994) by Stacey from USA Same. Though looking at that cover photo, Mariah is finally the one not showing the most cleavage. Silver linings. (Sunday 27 March 2022; 03:34)

Re: Article: The number ones: Mariah Carey's "Hero" (99,839) (99,844) by Stacey from USA I love Hero. It's the first song of hers I heard. I had my back to the TV, as the story goes, and slowly turned around as she began to sing, "There's a hero." I will never trash the song. Ever. It's the song that made me a fan. Shame on those who do. (Saturday 5 March 2022; 02:11)

Re: Nick Cannon (99,613) (99,614) by Stacey from USA 100%. Seriously we jump on Nick for having all these kids. Righty so. But let's not forget it takes two to have a baby. What are these girls thinking? (Thursday 3 February 2022; 02:20)
