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.

Jazz (105,721) by Stacey from USA I hope so. Songs like Lullaby of Birdland and Nevertheless fit her current voice so well. (Saturday 24 February 2024; 17:55) this is a reply to message 105,703

Jazz (105,703) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Stacey your dream is probably coming true, one of the insider accounts posted that MC will include a jazz style song on MC16, it can be a sample or a cover. Take it with a grain of salt though since these accounts are right 50-50. They said Ariana and MC have a music video and big promo plans including live performance but we didn't get it. But I think it's a safe bet that she will have something jazz inspired otherwise she would randomly jazz it up on stage. (Saturday 24 February 2024; 04:55)

I hope Mariah never releases anything anymore (105,720) by Stacey from USA Brilliant response. (Saturday 24 February 2024; 17:52) this is a reply to message 105,705

I hope Mariah never releases anything anymore (105,705) by TJ from Norway I do not agree with you, but then again, it's only opinions. You sit on yours, and I have mine. I have been a fan since 1990, but I don't love every project she has done, but am still here. I call that a real fan, even if you disagree. (Saturday 24 February 2024; 12:09)

I hope Mariah never releases anything anymore (105,702) by Stacey from USA Like I said in an earlier post, I could care less what another person thinks about me. Their opinions do not define what kind of fan I am. I decide that. My 30 years of loyalty decide that. (Saturday 24 February 2024; 00:49) this is a reply to message 105,683

I hope Mariah never releases anything anymore (105,683) by TJ from Norway So a fan who is still there after let's say 30 years plus, but doesn't like everything she does, isn't a real fan? Did I read your message wrong? I have to ask. (Friday 23 February 2024; 14:56)

This is what we asked for (105,656) by Stacey from USA Because she's always chosen charts and hits above anything else? Clearly you've conveniently forgotten I Don't, Crapfinity, Save the Day, etc. Oh wait, those don't count. They were buzz singles. Sorry, my bad. (Thursday 22 February 2024; 05:50) this is a reply to message 105,647

This is what we asked for (105,647) by T from USA Sometimes it's not about what you want. Mariah isn't a puppet that you can control the strings to. If you don't understand what a Top 10 hit on Billboard would mean for Mariah then you really don't know Mariah. Because she's always chosen hits and charts above anything else. I believe deep down inside she's a real musician, a soul artist, but she's very much driven by success. It's the American way. If you want more Mariah you have to give her incentive. Stream and buy.

SNL (105,655) by Stacey from USA Mad here? That depends. It depends on if the collaboration steers toward the WAP Cardi B with MC running around in a bathing suit once again. No thanks. That's so beneath Mariah's legend status. Now I'd it's a fun bop aka Fantasy, Heartbreaker, Crybaby, etc then yeah, I'm all for it. (Thursday 22 February 2024; 02:02) this is a reply to message 105,633

SNL (105,633) by Shezz from Pk I'm a little worried about how she'll sound (if it is true). It's a lot of strained belting. Let's see how much is going to be live and how much lipped. I hope she puts in the effort to do it justice. Insiders are saying the Cardi collaboration will be her next step - which is bound to get more people mad here. (Wednesday 21 February 2024; 10:37)

I don't understand peoole from this board (105,654) by Stacey from USA It's why I don't take anything said here too seriously. At the end of the day I have been an MC fan for 30 years. I don't need to prove anything to anyone. I'll always love her music. Saved me on many occasions. Carey on. (Thursday 22 February 2024; 01:59) this is a reply to message 105,648

I don't understand peoole from this board (105,648) by "MariahHater" from Hell Come on guys. She is doing exposure if she will collaborate with Cardi or whoever mainstream [censored] there is. Why are the lambs so hyper in being critical? Lets learn to accept that we are way past the prime. We can have opinions yeah but most of the time people are dragging her nearer to the grave. So much for being a lamb. She can't give out what we want or desire vocally/personality/artistic choices. We all act like as if we are her mother. She is an old adult let her be. Btw just living for the music. Persona, career wise I don't care now. Ugh. Why is charting even created? Sad that art needs to be capitalized for money vs the real form for its consumption. (Wednesday 21 February 2024; 17:49)

This is what we asked for (105,653) by Stacey from USA And add her take on Nevertheless (I'm in love with you). Now that music is timeless. I like Yes And. Do I think it has the same magic, wow factor that a Jay-Z collab did with Heartbreaker? No. But I ain't mad at it. It's a huge step up from I Don't, Save the Day, etc. (Thursday 22 February 2024; 01:57) this is a reply to message 105,645

This is what we asked for (105,645) by MusicfanJ from Germany I've never asked or wanted a song or remix with Ariana. I don't like the music from Miss Grande. The same with Cardi B. (even worse). I want real musicians like Jazz/Blues and Soul singers or a band with real instruments. People like James Poyser are also a win. Trends will come and go, but quality music will stay forever. I enjoy the song "Portrait" again lately, I almost get some Stevie Wonder vibes from a part of the melody. Mariah's "You and I" version is heavenly. That's my kind of music. (Wednesday 21 February 2024; 16:37)

Stacey and Robert (105,594) by Stacey from USA I get it. I take my breaks too, just unannounced. I miss Stephen's posts. Remember him. Anyway, for me coming here is a break from madness that is life as a wife, working mom of three. I enjoy the banter then go back to that craziness as those peeps are most important to me. I don't take anything here too seriously or remember what happened six months ago. It ain't that deep. Carey on. (Tuesday 20 February 2024; 01:14) this is a reply to message 105,585

Stacey and Robert (105,585) by Edward from USA It's just little break. I'm not leaving board. (Monday 19 February 2024; 21:35)

Herd mentality (105,580) by Stacey from USA No. Come back. (Monday 19 February 2024; 20:12) this is a reply to message 105,576

Herd mentality (105,576) by Edward from USA I do not follow the herd mentality. It's perfectly fine if 99 percent of people love the "Yes, And?" remix. I've always advocated for people expressing their opinions here, even if they differ from my own. I will respectfully express my views, even if they diverge from the prevailing consensus. I think it's time for me to take a break from this board. Peace to all. (Monday 19 February 2024; 17:29)

Yes, And? lyrics (105,555) by Stacey from USA I'll just say this: Drop the sh-word and f-word in a your next job interview and see if they hire you. I've never understood the need to use cuss words. (Sunday 18 February 2024; 23:47) this is a reply to message 105,553

Yes, And? lyrics (105,553) by Matty from Vancouver Canada Jaker, "extra gatekeeping" is a great way of putting it. Thank goodness censored versions of songs have always been played on traditional radio and readily available to stream if that's what you prefer. The power of GTFO without the actual word loses its power as a song and expression. Even in "It's a wrap", the "put all your sh** in an elevator" or "I should have never given you my [censored] two way" from Clown, lines are so much more expressive and true to the anger the song is projecting (which is the art) then say "put all your stuff in an elevator". Swearing isn't about age, that's obscured. if you're in your 30's, 40's, 50's and you believe you've out grown curse words, what age range is curse words bond to? I can tell you you won't want it to be your children, teens your young 20's using those words if that's your view on using expressive language. Words only mean something when you put meaning to them. If curse words are what you're worried your children will hear, I'm sorry, but as a parent in 2024 that's the least of your worries. Say ummm like a criminal eligible to be a global leader, or people not having the freedom to express themselves without death because of how they were born. Those are things to teach the next generation, language is only but a tool of expression. (Sunday 18 February 2024; 23:26)

Yes, And? lyrics (105,554) by Stacey from USA Speaking personally, I've had nothing but positive things to say about Yes? And. Just drop the cuss words. They serve no purpose. (Sunday 18 February 2024; 23:44) this is a reply to message 105,532

Yes, And? lyrics (105,532) by Libra Lamb from USA I couldn't agree more Matty. We have no right to censor the artist. Some here won't like anything MC puts out regardless. I personally enjoy the music and will support all of MC's efforts. Basically, if Mariah likes it, then I like it. Consider the records a gift. One day MC will no longer be here and they've sat there complaining and waiting for projects that will never come. Instead, they could be more supportive and be grateful, it shouldn't be hard for her biggest fans. If they can't do that it's ok but, with all due respect, maybe it's time to move on. (Sunday 18 February 2024; 04:18)

Yes, And? lyrics (105,535) by Stacey from USA I'm a 46 year old adult who doesn't care for profane-laced lyrics. Spare me the "it's art" argument. It's an old and often overused reason to justify such unnecessary decisions. The song is just fine without it. Why add it? Makes zero sense to me. (Sunday 18 February 2024; 05:14) this is a reply to message 105,529

Yes, And? lyrics (105,529) by Matty from Vancouver Canada I get some people's objection to the profanities in the song, although this is music for adults, and radio plays clean versions. Profanities are just words, just like every other word. It's art and words are an expression of art. Anyways . What was odd to me is that some don't like the message of this song. it's extremely empowering. "Wear this stuff on your chest, be your own best friend. I'm done with hypocrisy" etc. it's extremely empowering and self assured. Aside for your view on curse words, why isn't this songs lyrics a flex of self love and empowerment?

MV snippet (105,525) by Bill from the UK Was it the instrumental? (Saturday 17 February 2024; 23:53)

MV snippet (105,516) by Stacey from USA Ahhh, she needs a studio version of Nevertheless. Now that would get me giddy all over. (Saturday 17 February 2024; 20:40) this is a reply to message 105,509

MV snippet (105,509) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, absolutely. Boring and not needed to use such words. I watched the lyric video, what a mess. Who wrote this? Boy put your lipstick on? I'm going to listen to "Nevertheless I'm in love with you". That's classy. (Saturday 17 February 2024; 15:48)

MV snippet (105,515) by Stacey from USA All is well. I found a clean remix version, lol. (Saturday 17 February 2024; 20:39) this is a reply to message 105,501

MV snippet (105,501) by Stacey from USA I like the song. It's got 90s retro vibe all over it and I am totally on board, minus the cuss words. Ugh, someone find me a clean remix version. Stat. But, I digress. Given her last couple of songs (remember I Don't, Crapfinity, Save the Day), I'd say this is a huge improvement. Hopefully a new album continues in this direction. (Saturday 17 February 2024; 03:03)

It's been a long time coming (105,513) by Stacey from USA Agreed. I like Yes, And? It definitely doesn't have the same magic as Vogue or Dreamlover. But I ain't mad at it. It's nice to see MC get the love and respect she deserves. (Saturday 17 February 2024; 20:38) this is a reply to message 105,511

It's been a long time coming (105,511) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway When was the last time Mariah was on top worldwide and it wasn't a Christmas song? Even here in Norway, Mariah is now #3 on top songs on iTunes. I had completely forgotten the feeling I experience when Mariah is represented on the charts. It's too early to hope for Mariah's name to be on offical charts around the world, but what a great feeling that would be. Nevertheless, congrats Mariah and Ariana. (Saturday 17 February 2024; 17:39)

MV snippet (105,512) by Stacey from USA Yeah, I totally agree. The profanity is so unnecessary. (Saturday 17 February 2024; 20:33) this is a reply to message 105,506

MV snippet (105,506) by Bill from the UK With you on the profanity Stacey, absolutely no need for it. It's in so many songs these days. I'm still not completely over Mariah telling me to "get the [censored] out". In other news, here's my play count: Selfish - 400+ Yes And? remix - 1 (Saturday 17 February 2024; 13:31)

MV Snippet (105,496) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Alright y'all check out this new promo snippet. Thank me later. (Friday 16 February 2024; 22:09)

Yes, And? (105,490) by Stacey from USA Agreed 100%. (Friday 16 February 2024; 18:06) this is a reply to message 105,478

Yes, And? (105,478) by MusicfanJ from Germany I had to think of Madonna too. Lol. House and a little En Vogue vibe. Yes, who would have thought? I think the teens will like the remix. I don't feel this song. Maybe mostly because I don't like the music from Ariana in general. I also don't need the f. in lyrics. Luckily I have the MB 30 where the lyrics are wonderful. Plus the remix of "Working hard" which is a hundred times better than this. Just my humble opinion. (Friday 16 February 2024; 12:49)

Yes? And remix (105,465) by Stacey from USA I really like the song. MC's vocals add a lot to the song. But ugh, the cuss words are so not my thing. They just aren't. They ruin a song. I guess I'll hope for an Amazon music clean version. (Friday 16 February 2024; 07:48)

Time of release UK (105,460) by Stacey from USA As always when new MC music is released, I am hopeful. In the meantime I am loving Music Box all over again. My first song heard was Hero. First album bought was MB. I got the 3CD set in the mail a few days ago. I love what MC wrote about the album. It was released during troublesome times in her personal life. But she also recognizes the album is an important part of her career development, an important part of her life, even if it was during the Tommy years.

Time of release UK (105,458) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So this insta account called arjfocvs has a list of the release times and it's showing 5am Friday for UK. I'll try to link it here. (Friday 16 February 2024; 02:05)

This week (105,413) by Stacey from USA Ari just posted and tagged MC on Instagram that indeed a collab is happening. (Wednesday 14 February 2024; 19:47) this is a reply to message 105,405

This week (105,405) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So um we were supposed to be getting an announcement today from Mariah either about the remix or something else. I wonder if it's true or if we're clowning hahah. The remix is supposed to be out tomorrow and I saw that an Ariana fan account posted it might be The Weeknd on the remix. At this point there has been so many people's name attached to this remix haha. Also the Nostradamus insider account mentioned that Shakira and Mariah may be collaborating, I call BS on that because the actual news was that Shakira reached out to Mariah to sample IKWYW for a new song. (Wednesday 14 February 2024; 15:36)

Grammy (105,273) by Stacey from USA One thing that stuck out to me during Trevor Noah's introduction of MC: 34 nominations and 5 wins. (Monday 5 February 2024; 19:17) this is a reply to message 105,267

Grammy (105,267) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ok now that I've had some time to absorb this whirlwind of a surprise. Here are a few thoughts, I am so happy for Mariah getting the love and admiration she deserves by getting a standing ovation. Everyone looked like they were in awe of her and Miley was so pumped even backstage she was gushing over Mariah. I absolutely love the huge publicity Mariah got over this weekend and I hope she uses this momentum to her advantage. The industry is fast moving so she needs to make her move when the spotlights on her. I'm glad she didn't announce anything today because Taylor did and that's going to be a whole storm. But MC make your move. I think this Grammy collab has been a very strategic move for her and if true I'm glad she's finally playing the industry game to her advantage after so long. (Monday 5 February 2024; 04:37)

Mariah coming to Grammy's main event? (105,264) by Stacey from USA I was wrong. You were right. See, I can admit I'm wrong. Once in a while, lol. Not a huge fan of Miley Cyrus, but I did love her fangirling all over MC. And Mariah's look? Wow. Just wow. Now that is how you make an entrance. (Monday 5 February 2024; 03:17) this is a reply to message 105,251

Mariah coming to Grammy's main event? (105,251) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter She has been at two of the pre-Grammy events this weekend and Halle Bailey said she'll be here on Sunday so it's looking like a possibility. (Sunday 4 February 2024; 20:51)

Video (105,260) by Stacey from USA Make sure she's dressed in a swimsuit. Now that would be groundbreaking. (Monday 5 February 2024; 01:44) this is a reply to message 105,254

Video (105,254) by Edward from USA Mariah lying on a couch looking at the camera while singing the new song would be epic and new. (Sunday 4 February 2024; 22:17)
