About Edward from USA:

Biopic (108,774) by Edward from USA
I agree with you. It's very disrespectful posting an incomplete list. That list should be longer.

Biopic (108,762) by Edward from USA
I have to disagree. Going back in the fridge after Christmas has stopped her ageing process. She's the new Cher, even if she has to go on stage, sit on a throne chair, pop her CDs in and waves herself through her concerts like the true diva she is. Even her "dahlings" and "do you like the ensemble?" will be lipped because it would prevent wrinkles around her mouth. Lee Daniels forced overhead lighting on her during the filming of "Precious" and she ended up with a mustache. I personally use it when I want to grow my beard. She knows what she's doing.

Biopic (108,747) by Edward from USA
It all makes perfect sense the way you explained it. She barely moves and keeps a straight face because clearly, she got Botox even in her knees too, on top of the fact that she's on the early stages of her defrosting phase, so moving would be very painful and cracky. And of course, since Glitter was such a traumatic event, she’s been taking a nice, honey IV like running seven year stroll toward this biopic. I'm about to cry.

It's like I just had a big fat epiphany. How did I not see this sooner when it was right there in my face? Maybe the overhead lighting in my head, but now: I can see, I can see.

Now I finally understand, she’s been writing one song per year since 2018, so by 2030, we’ll have a full 12-track album just in time for her retirement party.

New Mariah album (108,742) by Edward from USA
Mariah could bundle her albums with concert ticket sales, it is a common practice. She could also release music digitally only, but she's alienated her fans over the years by not staying consistently engaged. As a result, many have left the fandom. No one expects her to sell millions of albums anymore, even today's top artists rarely do. Nowadays, an album can hit number one with relatively low sales compared to past eras. Releasing an album every two to three years could have kept her core fanbase more connected and loyal.

Deeply concerned (108,735) by Edward from USA
"I know her kids are really young but they're probably the only ones who truly care about her."

It's sad, but I completely agree with you. I wouldn't mind if she never sang or toured again, as long as she's healthy and present for her children, that's what truly matters. They clearly share a deep bond, and at this stage in their lives, they still need her more than anything. I really admire her job as a mother, not trying to mold them into copies of herself. She's let them be their own people, and that says a lot about the kind of mother she is.

Born this Mimi (108,727) by Edward from USA
Did you really think that when the label decided to list her birth year as 1970 that Patricia, her own mother, wouldn't be one of the first people briefed on it? I don't think Mariah randomly came up with that on her own, but she had to go with the program. At the time, it was common practice to round down or adjust the ages of female artists for marketability. It happened with Mariah, with Madonna, with J.Lo, and many others. But at this point, most people don't care anymore.

There's one irrefutable piece of evidence that no interview, driver's license, or altered birth certificate can contradict: Mariah's birth announcement in her hometown newspaper, The Long Islander. It was published on April 10, 1969, exactly one week after her birth, and it reads:

"March 27 - Mariah, Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Carey, Huntington."

This notice is documented in the Suffolk Cooperative Library System, on page 15 of the paper. If Mariah had been born in 1970, that announcement wouldn't have appeared in print in April 1969. It's a clear, verifiable fact.

Back then, you could say whatever and people would just go with it. But once the internet came around, stuff like that became a lot harder to hide. And now? Mariah doesn't even seem to care. Articles say she's 56 this year and 55 the year before, and she's not out here correcting anyone.

Deeply concerned (108,725) by Edward from USA
Whoever is pushing her to keep tarnishing her impressive legacy like this needs to be fired. There's clearly something off with her, and I just hope she doesn't end up like Michael and Whitney. Beyonce can lip, but at least she dances her ass off and sings her ballads live. Celine was full of energy with a huge production behind her, but Mariah didn't need all that, her voice alone carried the show. Now she just stands there and lips unconvincingly. You would think by now she would at least put on more energetic performances, invest in better production, have more moving parts on stage, or get a new choreographer. It's time to hit the gym without high heels and hit that stage like the star she is. Sadly, her performances are copy-paste jobs. You can see it in the comments on those clips, even the yass queens are starting to notice.

Shenzhen concert (108,718) by Edward from USA
It is heartbreaking. Why does she even go on tour anymore? Now I understand why there hasn't been any decent new music in almost a decade.

Born this Mimi (108,712) by Edward from USA
Mariah has clearly come to terms with her birth year being 1969. She hasn't disputed it publicly in years, and the evidence has long been out there. Back in the late '90s, the principal of her former school confirmed she was born in 1969. A copy of her driver's license also surfaced online with the same year. But perhaps the most definitive source is the newspaper birth announcement, it's publicly available and explicitly states she was born in 1969. At this point, denying it serves no purpose. The receipts are there, and the facts speak for themselves.

Born this Mimi (108,705) by Edward from USA
At least she never stated that anybody called her that. That was just a very short title she came up with. "The Art of Letting Go" was definitely a better title. #20]

Don't be overdramatic. Did you know Mariah is re-releasing TEOM? Maybe she shouldn't. It's been 20 years.

Born this Mimi (108,694) by Edward from USA
That doesn't mean anything really. You've never heard anybody call her that, ever, not then, not now. I love the title though, I just don't believe her close friends ever called her that. As fans we complied though, and it was something different.

Tommy book (108,689) by Edward from USA
I had read the book when it first came out back in 2013, but I had forgotten certain things. I have learned that the truth usually lies in the middle. Thanks for the summary, Jamie, much appreciated. And happy belated birthday.

The Emancipation of "Who?"

Are we ever going to sit down and talk about how Mariah just woke up one day, said "Call me Mimi", and the entire world ate that shit up? Child please, who exactly was calling you that before 2005? That nickname was never uttered by any of her close friends during any of her most memorable eras. But suddenly it's "The Emancipation of Mimi" and we all ate it up like it was a fresh batch of hot tamales. Maybe is right there on her birth certificate: Mimi Carey, possibly born in 1970.

Iconic? Absolutely, but Mimi please.

Article: Anderson .Paak confirms Mariah Carey collaboration (108,681) by Edward from USA
Bobby A, are you out of your mind? Nobody's selling records like that anymore. What Mariah should focus on is crafting mature lyrics and unforgettable melodies. She'll be starting the defrosting process soon. I doubt we'll get new music anytime soon. She needs three weeks at #1 this year to reclaim the throne, so you can bet she'll be going all out for that. Then next year, she'll be inducted on the "Rock & Roll Hall of Fame", it's well deserved and long overdue.

Met Gala (108,678) by Edward from USA
It's not only you. "When I Feel It" is not a bad song, it's just an unpolished filler. I never heard anybody claim it was a potential hit. I like it more than "Secret Love" and "Sprung" though. The "Once in a Lifetime" ringtone, had it be turned into a full song, it would've been a great one. There's one song that nobody ever talks about that could've been #1, it's called " Migrate".

Discussion (108,654) by Edward from USA
Why are you being so bitchy? Your comment was so uncalled for. How did you go from 1995 music to 2025 politics? Last time I checked, none of the tracks on Daydream is titled 401K.

Article: What else does the Hall of Fame want from Mariah? (108,646) by Edward from USA
But Daydream was a pop album with just a grain of R&B on two tracks. Tommy had a lot at stake, Mariah's win would've been his too.

I'm sensing some musical tensions between you and Jamie. Let me tell you something about Jamie, all he cares about is Music Box, his mom and his friends. But I can talk to him for you if you want. I know exactly how to play it.

When You Believe (108,586) by Edward from USA
That was really well sung, but it felt kind of soulless to me. With Mariah and Whitney's version of "When You Believe", it's not just about the big vocals, plenty of people can pull those off. It's the little details, the emotion, and the way they each put their own stamp on it that makes it so special. I've seen a lot of covers, and honestly, I usually love some covers more than the originals, but I haven't seen one yet that tops theirs.

MiMi20 CD (108,577) by Edward from USA
Does your car have a USB port? If so, just rip your CDs to FLAC format, load them onto a flash drive, plug it into the car's USB port, and you're all set. Assuming your car supports FLAC playback, of course.

MiMi20 CD (108,574) by Edward from USA
I agree. I've ripped all my CDs to FLAC format, which is a lossless digital format that preserves the music exactly as it was intended, without any compression or quality loss. The songs end up being bigger in size, but I don't care as long as I can keep the integrity of the song intact. Unfortunately, Amazon doesn't offer uncompressed music for purchase.
