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.

Andrew (105,031) by Stacey from USA The 24 year old would agree with you a 100%. When I started posting online with the old MC.com pink boards (during Charmbracelet) I used to get so hot and bothered if someone attacked me, called me names, etc. I took their words so personally. I would get anxiety attacks over what some online person would say back to me. The now 46 year old me doesn't care. I'm not as strong as you think I am, though I do appreciate your words. Maybe it's an age thing. I've learned to not let what someone says online, who I've never met, affect me. I don't deal in "what if". I don't care about what if Andrew or any faceless, nameless online person here says to me. That's not a diss to anyone. It's just reality. You can't really know someone unless you meet them in person, which is why I could care less what an online personality says about me. They don't know me. I hope I'm making sense, lol.

Andrew (105,027) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Stacey you clearly are a strong soul and wise. I admire your resilience, however I do understand what everyone is talking about when they say they get affected. Not everyone has the same strength and a lot of us have been straight up bullied by him, called names, all for having a passion for Mariah's music. While I let most things slide sometimes a few things are triggering. Were all adults here (some may not behave like it lol) but when people are out here calling you a c u next Tuesday, and lord knows what else Eric had to censor it does trickle into your personal life. There could be other things people are dealing with and the last thing they need to be is bullied on a message board and that's why easier to just take breaks and come back hoping for the best.

Andrew (105,025) by Stacey from USA See, I don't understand that. I didn't engage any less or more. I posted when I found something I wanted to respond to. I don't let what someone does who I've never met affect what I do in my real life. I don't let someone each affect my choices. To each their own. Carey on.

Andrew (105,017) by Lady B from USA Good riddance (hopefully permanent). I agree that I have engaged less as a result of him. (Saturday 20 January 2024; 04:34)

Kardashian vs. Stella (104,999) by Stacey from USA Add to the fact Stella wanted to out Mariah's bipolar condition. Pretty trashy thing to do. Thankfully MC beat her to it and explained things on her own terms. (Thursday 18 January 2024; 19:33) this is a reply to message 104,994

Kardashian vs. Stella (104,994) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Some people just argue to argue (and for attention). If Stella did such a wonderful job with Mariah's career why didn't any other A list celebrity hire her? She had no big celeb client (except for TI for his reality show) before or after. This woman also stole from Mariah, isolated her by surrounding her with only her family members (she's running her business, her cousin is running her accounts, her daughter running social media), got her on a tacky (visibly scripted) reality series (I know most are scripted but not this obvious), had Mariah publicly and in the show, be seen high as a kite and going into pot scores (she may do all these in private but I've never seen her openly talk about it as she wants to maintain a Mary Poppin's image). Later when she was kicked out she accused her of sexual assault. Yet here we are, our supposed only lamb in the world with the big brains thinks Stella was the best thing that happened to Mariah.

Dating (104,989) by Stacey from USA Seriously, I struggle with January too. It's cold and yeah bleak. Maybe Angels Cry is on his playlist too. (Thursday 18 January 2024; 01:35) this is a reply to message 104,985

Dating (104,985) by Jamie from UK Woah chill, it was just a bit of light hearted fun on these bleak days. (Wednesday 17 January 2024; 22:26)

K (104,988) by Stacey from USA Andrew got me good. I better run and hide, lol. I have two teenagers in my house and a pre-teen 10 year old. Nothing fazes me these days. I stand by my statements. Next. (Thursday 18 January 2024; 01:31) this is a reply to message 104,980

K (104,980) by Andrew from the UK Yet labelling Stella as trashy etc. is perfectly fine. As is doing it to her kids. As is being rude to me. But one word said back and it's crossing the line. "Wow", indeed. (Wednesday 17 January 2024; 12:45)

K (104,979) by Stacey from USA Anyone who wants to go to law school gets a high five from me. I remember when she met with Trump to work on reform for minor offences and got a lady pardoned from her prison sentence. Am I huge Kardashian follower? Not really. A sex tape release made Kim relevant. What is their talent? So I have my issues but there is no denying Momma Jenner knows how to play the system. (Wednesday 17 January 2024; 12:24) this is a reply to message 104,970

K (104,970) by Robert-Anthony from United States At least she is not friends with Tiffany Haddish. We all know the mess she is in right now. When you have money you have to align yourself with others who will help elevate you to the next level. Maybe MC likes Kim because she has stability and a business like mind. Despite all that Ye has taken her through, she still has provided stability for her kids. I am sure MC has noticed how Kim has held her family together to help her stay grounded for Roc and Roe despite Nick's other children were in the news so much for the past two years. Kim Kardashian is pretty to look at. I think that she has gained lots elegance and sophisication since she has become older. (Tuesday 16 January 2024; 23:54)

K (104,978) by Stacey from USA Wow, calling someone trash because they see differently than you? Not cool. Guess I'm trash too because despite my personal feelings about the Kardashians, the family somehow manages to stay relevant. I wasn't a fan of Benny Medina but he sure knew how to market MC during the TEOM era. I agree with Mimi L on this one. (Wednesday 17 January 2024; 12:19) this is a reply to message 104,969

K (104,969) by Andrew from the UK I'm sorry to your hurt your feels about your little Kardashian krush but they're trash. Quite like anyone who follows them. (Tuesday 16 January 2024; 23:48)

Duet with Michael Bolton (104,939) by Stacey from USA For me her voice was so effortless. So strong. So powerful. Maybe that's what Eddie was going for. But yeah, the song by itself is kinda bland. And don't get me started on Michael Bolton. Ugh. He butchers so many good traditional Christmas songs. I just can't with him. (Monday 15 January 2024; 02:09) this is a reply to message 104,933

Duet with Michael Bolton (104,933) by Andrew from the UK Far be it from me to disagree, so let me ask: what part was "breathtaking"? It's a really boring song. The tune itself is quite flat. (Saturday 13 January 2024; 18:28)

Nevertheless (I'm In Love With You) (104,890) by Stacey from USA At 46 years old, I'll take Miss. But it's really Mrs. (Thursday 11 January 2024; 15:34) this is a reply to message 104,889

Nevertheless (I'm In Love With You) (104,889) by Andrew from the UK You are henceforth to be known as Miss Stacey. And I shall put a dollar in the swear jar every time I write it. However, I don't have any American dollars. Send me some? Couple of thousand should cover it. (Thursday 11 January 2024; 12:19)

Nevertheless (I'm In Love With You) (104,885) by Stacey from USA I swear, I would be a billionaire if I were paid a dollar for how many times people have bought up my profession, as if because I teach school that determines everything in my life. Dude, it's my job. That's it. (Thursday 11 January 2024; 06:40) this is a reply to message 104,873

Nevertheless (I'm In Love With You) (104,873) by Andrew from the UK Miss Stacey, as you are a most learned and noble educator - one, undoubtedly, of the highest order - you, ostensibly, must have gone completely, raving mad. For "Songs in the Key of MC" features only dance and pop music to exclusion of all jazz and dreary R&B. There is, however, to be a secret, hidden bonus track featuring contributions from people who love jazz and dreary R&B. It's called "Salty Tears". (Wednesday 10 January 2024; 22:19)

Songs in the Key of MC (104,870) by Stacey from USA If you build it, they will come. I heard that off some baseball, field movie many years ago. (Wednesday 10 January 2024; 04:30) this is a reply to message 104,867

Songs in the Key of MC (104,867) by Andrew from the UK I'm terribly sorry, Madame L, but a famous singer once said, and oft repeats, "Never ever listen to anybody when they try to discourage you - they do that, believe me." Sell disappointment some place else. You ain't my dad. (Tuesday 9 January 2024; 21:52)

Nevertheless (I'm In Love With You) (104,869) by Stacey from USA Mariah needs to freaking record this song and put it on her next album named SITKOMC. Absolutely beautiful rendition. (Wednesday 10 January 2024; 04:29) this is a reply to message 104,866

Nevertheless (I'm In Love With You) (104,866) by Billy from Greece Hauntingly beautiful, sophisticated delivery. (Tuesday 9 January 2024; 21:12)

Songs in the Key of MC (104,858) by Stacey from USA Daydream is my favorite album title. I bet you're all shocked by that. (Tuesday 9 January 2024; 03:36) this is a reply to message 104,855

Songs in the Key of MC (104,855) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, The Elusive Chanteuse and The Art of Letting Go would have been good. I prefer Mariah's short album titles. I'm excited for the new one. (Monday 8 January 2024; 13:52)

MC30 (104,827) by Stacey from USA And that's why I don't refer to MIAM as a whole album a mess. Even when an album as a whole isn't a favorite of mine, I'm always grateful it was released because of those songs I loved. The label dropped the ball but I'll give MC a break on this one. I won't begin to speculate what the breakdown of her marriage did to her emotionally. Divorce is tough no matter who you are. (Saturday 6 January 2024; 18:52) this is a reply to message 104,817

MC30 (104,817) by Andrew from the UK I love me some Eddie. But how can something of which there are rumours be a surprise? Stacey is correct using the word "mess" but it should refer to the entire project. Everything about it was created or handled in a fashion unbecoming a supposed international superstar. That being said, there are some great melodies and vocals on MIAM. Personally, I believe Triumphant Pulse Remix, Almost Home, The Art of Letting Go and You Don't Know To Do are pretty special. I encourage Mariah to make her next record an upbeat dance record. Don't nobody need another Cautionary tale that will disappear in a fraction of the time it takes to create. (Saturday 6 January 2024; 12:23)

The Elusive Chanteuse (104,807) by Stacey from USA I like Me I Am Mariah, if she used just MIAM. When she added the EC mess, that's when she lost me. Songs in the Key of MC is fire. (Friday 5 January 2024; 06:38) this is a reply to message 104,791

The Elusive Chanteuse (104,791) by Andrew from the UK I don't believe anyone was calling her that. Except for her. She liked the way it sounded so created a narrative. If anyone has information to the contrary, I'm all ears. "Me. I Make Things Up... Eternally Chatshit." It was such an awful album title with a cartoon cover, and with vocals so engineered that it's difficult to listen to. The Art of Letting Go as an album title was great. As was the song itself, save for the kitchen window lyrics. "Songs in the Key of MC" is gonna blow us out the water. (Thursday 4 January 2024; 10:35)

More records fall (104,719) by Stacey from USA Amen. (Saturday 30 December 2023; 03:53) this is a reply to message 104,716

More records fall (104,716) by Andrew from the UK Have a day off, would you? Pretty sure I posted recently celebrating Mariah's 93-weeks at Number One. Oh wait, that's right, I did. I hope for your sake you're hot, honey. Because with a personality like that, you're gonna need to be. Good luck. (Saturday 30 December 2023; 01:22)

Obsessed in the UK (104,594) by Stacey from USA Don't need to ask myself, lol. I am glad SS wasn't the lead single. That's what my last post was trying to say. While I didn't connect with ILT at first, hindsight is 20/20. MC was wise to get everyone excited with a bouncy song than blow us away with what made her so successful to begin with. (Tuesday 19 December 2023; 04:38) this is a reply to message 104,590

Obsessed in the UK (104,590) by Robert-Anthony from United States Stacey, just ask yourself if Say Somethin' could have paved the way for WBT in the same way? ILT was the party record that TEOM needed as the lead single. It said that Mariah Carey was back. A January release date and a delayed video caused it to stall at number 16. (Monday 18 December 2023; 23:35)

Obsessed in the UK (104,589) by Stacey from USA I had the same issue with ILT. The whole concept of the song didn't make sense to me. That is until WBT was released. Here we go now. Let's go now. Silence. Then WBT started and the rest is history. (Monday 18 December 2023; 22:13) this is a reply to message 104,584

Obsessed in the UK (104,584) by MusicfanJ from Germany That could be one reason. Plus "Obsessed" is so untypical for a Mariah single. I remember when "It's like that" came out, a lot of friends told me it didn't sound like a Mariah song. With "We belong together" they were fine. (Monday 18 December 2023; 13:42)

Article: Mariah Carey stops by Library of Congress (104,578) by Stacey from USA No teacher of mine in the 1990s wore that. I'm a teacher now and I don't wear that, lol. I should clarify my post. MC looked beautiful and covered up. Just proves she can wear age appropriate clothing and still look stunning. (Sunday 17 December 2023; 23:13) this is a reply to message 104,568

Article: Mariah Carey stops by Library of Congress (104,568) by Robert-Anthony from United States MC was emulating what a teacher would wear. The two piece dress suit was a popular ensemble for teachers back in the late 80s and early 90s. (Sunday 17 December 2023; 00:29)

Article: Mariah Carey stops by Library of Congress (104,567) by Stacey from USA I kinda wish she'd dress like this all the time. (Saturday 16 December 2023; 23:20) this is a reply to message 104,560

Article: Mariah Carey stops by Library of Congress (104,560) by Andrew from the UK Wow. If it wasn't written in black and white I would never have believed this photo to be from 2023. Mariah looks stunning here. (Saturday 16 December 2023; 06:45)

Oh Santa MSG with A and J-Hud (104,513) by Stacey from USA See it sung live, lol. That's funny. Oh wait, you meant see it live in person. My bad. (Tuesday 12 December 2023; 00:08) this is a reply to message 104,504

Oh Santa MSG with A and J-Hud (104,504) by Lady B from USA Thoughts? I wish I was there to see it live. Was anyone there? (Monday 11 December 2023; 16:49)

Appreciation (104,478) by Stacey from USA Well said, Ed. Merry Christmas "ya filthy animals". (Saturday 9 December 2023; 00:54) this is a reply to message 104,474

Appreciation (104,474) by Edward from USA Merry Christmas to our MCArchives dysfunctional family. We agree, we disagree, we sometimes fight, get delusional and paranoid, but we are the MCArchives family. From the ones who post regularly to those who only post to remind us how Andrew should be banned, we love everybody. When MCArchives came online, back when Mariah was still huge, things weren't any different than they are now. We even had the UK gang against the US gang, but here we are 25 years later fighting, lol. Thank you Eric for keeping the site running all these years and thank all of you for keeping the conversation going. (Friday 8 December 2023; 23:43)

Christmastime Is In The Air Again (104,477) by Stacey from USA One of my favs. I love this song. (Saturday 9 December 2023; 00:51) this is a reply to message 104,464

Christmastime Is In The Air Again (104,464) by enwar00 from usa Always a treat to revisit this performance. An underrated gem from an underrated album IMO. Oh 2012 Mariah, how agile was your voice still. Did that fall somehow affect more than we know? (Friday 8 December 2023; 07:19)

Emotions formula (104,322) by Stacey from USA I think MC could have recorded the phone book for her debut album and been successful. Her voice was so amazing and so unheard of at the time. She truly is a once in a generation artist. (Saturday 2 December 2023; 06:56) this is a reply to message 104,316

Emotions formula (104,316) by Terna from Nigeria I'll just say this, between those two records, one is on the cusp of being certified Diamond - her third if I might add, while the other still has a long way to go (the numbers never lie). There's a reason why "Vision of Love" and "Love Takes Time" were the songs chosen for the tribute - they are instantly recognizable classics (even in that time), that have stood the test of time, the kind of songs seasoned songwriters would kill to have to their credit, written by a then 19 year old a testament in itself and can only be found on the most stellar debut ever by an artist - Mariah Carey. (Friday 1 December 2023; 21:00)

Would you rather (104,279) by Stacey from USA Rarities 2. No question. (Wednesday 29 November 2023; 20:51) this is a reply to message 104,264

Would you rather (104,264) by Tevin from USA I'm quite curious to read everyone's opinion. For 2024, would you rather have Mariah releases a 10 to 12 tract Rarities 2 album, where half of the songs are never before heard songs, or would you rather see here release a brand new 10 to 12 song studio album? (Tuesday 28 November 2023; 18:50)
