About Edward from USA:

Best ABMB live performance (114,305) by Edward from USA Putting the burden of your happiness on someone else's shoulders is unfair and unrealistic. Happiness has to come from within. It can't be something another person gives you. I'm not saying things like a breakup, losing someone you love, or other painful experiences can't affect us. They absolutely can. But happiness isn't a permanent state for anyone. People, circumstances, and family can shape us, for better or worse. At the end of the day, though, with or without all the resources and support that some people have and others don't, we're the ones who have to put in the work to heal. I lost my mom when I was 13, and it broke me. It changed me forever because she was my rock and an incredible mother. One day she was there, and the next she was gone, just like that. So I can definitely relate to her grief and pain. I'm really rooting for Mariah to get better, not just for her, but for the twins too. They need their mom. At the end of the day, though, she'll have to get the help she needs because, from what we've been seeing, that's not it. If I were a friend who truly cared about her, I wouldn't be encouraging her to put herself out there like this. Where are the professionals around her? Where are the people looking out for her best interests? I say that because the backlash could end up being even more damaging, especially while she's dealing with so much grief. I think Mariah should step away from the spotlight for a while and focus on herself until she's in a better place. That's just how I see it. Pardon the rant.

Best ABMB live performance (114,303) by MusicfanJ from Germany I agree with "everyone is responsible for their own happiness". I try to live that way. But there are a lot of people famous and normal ones who really got broke "inside" after loosing someone. I can understand it. The heart can break from suffering, the soul will follow and then the health won't be there anymore. I think the divorce from Nick, the shame with all the different baby mamas was too much for her. Plus the loss of her mother. Plus maybe other things with her health she doesn't want to speak of. I just wish she would find real happiness again. Alone or with a partner. Inner peace and health. With all her money she could take a wonderful journey to beautiful places, maybe even meet normal people who are not in the circus showbusiness. She should stay away from the "wrong" yes-people.

Best ABMB live performance (114,302) by Edward from USA Bobby A, enough with the blame game. Nobody else is responsible for your happiness. That's like parents who raise their children as an investment, expecting them to be responsible for their happiness or to support them financially when they get old. Relationships can affect someone's life, but at the end of the day, each person is responsible for their own happiness. Blaming Nick for Mariah's sadness 12 years later is a huge reach and, to me, completely ridiculous. (Monday 27 July 2026; 06:00) this is a reply to message 114,301

Best ABMB live performance (114,301) by Bobby A from United States I think we all know who's to blame for MC's sadness - Nick. MC hasn't been the same since 2012. (Monday 27 July 2026; 02:23)

Soulless (114,288) by Edward from USA I agree. Sadly none of these people think to genuinely care. Remember that the Christmas shows are around the corner, she's only a paycheck to them. Whatever she's going through seems to be serious, they shouldn't yassqueen her into showing herself like this. 😠 (Friday 24 July 2026; 22:00) this is a reply to message 114,285

Soulless (114,285) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Someone from her team should step up and be brave and bold in shutting off the lyrics monitor whenever Mariah is performing. Instruct her to memorize the lyrics like back in the day. This should be the cure and remedy for all her blank stare (she even didn’t blink her eyes) like she's some sort of robot or something. Take a listen to that annoying “that’s so good” from her team when Mariah just finished performing Underneath The Stars from that latest video. All the yes men yes men from her team. No one is giving her constructive criticism. (Friday 24 July 2026; 12:24)

Brian Tanaka (114,272) by Edward from USA Tanaka was definitely great for Mariah, but I think he eventually got tired of playing house, and I don't blame him. After seven or so years, it's only fair to move forward with something more formal. More than kids, he probably wanted a committed relationship, a wife, something that was actually going somewhere. Most likely he proposed and she turned him down. If that's the case, it makes sense that he moved on instead of staying in a relationship that wasn't going anywhere. He was one of the few people around Mariah who managed to stay out of the drama. Even the craziest Lambs never really blamed him for everything that went wrong in her life, and that's huge.

Brian Tanaka (114,268) by nancy from Switzerland Brian was a great guy. Made Mariah feel special. According to some news he wanted to have a family with own kids. That's the reason they allegedly split up. I honestly think the reason is completely another one: He saw his career stagnating next to Mariah's, and saw that she was on a downward spiral. He decided to save himself from this disaster. Today he has other projects. But still not married and no family. Sadly at some point everybody leaves her, when there is nothing left to make profit from. (Wednesday 22 July 2026; 13:05)

More depth to the interesting video (114,258) by Bill from the UK I've added "James Packer conspiring to murder her" to my list of excuses as to why Mariah can't move or sing anymore. In my view it's probably as simple as her battling this mystery neurodegenerative disorder, whilst at the same time mixing prescription medication for her bipolar disorder with alcohol. (Tuesday 21 July 2026; 07:19)

Soulless (114,252) by Edward from USA That UTS snippet sounds fine, but she looks heavily medicated, with that empty, almost soulless stare. I'm genuinely concerned about her well-being. I hope she's doing okay. (Tuesday 21 July 2026; 01:23)

Daydream 30 (114,214) by Edward from USA I'm happy for those of you who are stoked about "Daydream 30". My coins will only go to the remastered album though. Everything else is pretty more of the same to me. At least one unreleased track would've been cool. Hopefully "Glitter 25" offers more enticing stuff. Mariah's voice on those demos was out of this world. We were truly blessed. (Friday 17 July 2026; 18:33)

Whitney vs MC (114,156) by Edward from USA Perception matters, my dear, especially when it comes to being taken seriously as an artist. Whitney was always Whitney. At her peak, she was phenomenal, and at her lowest, she never relied on smoke and mirrors to convince people she could still sing the way she once did. Everyone knew her voice had declined, but she still got on stage and sang. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't, but people respected the honesty. She also remained grounded. Even during the darkest periods of her life, she came across as authentic and self aware. She could sit down for an interview, have an intelligent conversation, laugh at herself, and connect with people. That authenticity went a long way in shaping how the public perceived her. In my opinion, Mariah is actually the superior overall vocalist. Her range, agility, musicality, and songwriting place her in a league of her own. But somewhere along the way, as Britney once said, she started believing her own hype, and everything went downhill from there. The biggest issue isn't even the vocal decline itself. It happens to every great singer eventually. Aretha's voice was basically shot by the time she passed. The difference is how Mariah chose to handle it. She leaned more and more into heavy lipping, to the point where entire concerts often feel more choreographed around playback cues than live singing. There's a huge difference between using backing tracks for a difficult climax or to protect your voice and essentially lipping through 80% of a concert. Whitney was booed in Australia and criticized elsewhere because people could hear that her voice wasn't what it once was. Some fans even walked out. But she still stood there and sang. She didn't try to convince the audience they were hearing something they weren't. Whether people enjoyed the performance or not, there was an honesty to it that earned respect. People also forget that Whitney remained remarkably consistent for nearly two decades. Even on "Just Whitney", released in 2002, she still sounded very good considering everything she was dealing with. Mariah's vocal consistency, on the other hand, began to decline much earlier, only about seven years into her career. She could still blow and make great albums like "Glitter", but reproducing that level of singing live became increasingly difficult, and that's what stayed in people's minds. Then there's the performance aspect. Whitney remained a natural entertainer almost until the end. Mariah, by contrast, has become increasingly limited on stage over the past decade. Whether it's because of physical limitations, high heels, or simply her bipolar condition, she often appears stiff and overly cautious, which only reinforces the perception that everything is carefully controlled. So yes, I still believe Mariah is the greater overall artist. But I also think she bears the responsibility for the way she's perceived today. It's not just because her voice changed. It's because of the image she cultivated, the reliance on heavy lipping, and the over the top diva persona that eventually ended up lifting her feet from solid ground and devouring her. Legacy isn't built solely on vocal ability, chart records, or awards. It's also built on credibility, authenticity, and the impression you leave on people. That's why artists like Whitney, Barbra Streisand, and Celine Dion continue to command a certain level of universal respect. Their accomplishments matter, but so does the way they've carried themselves. Mariah's legacy is extraordinary, and nothing can erase what she's accomplished. But perception matters. It's what people remember when your name comes up in conversation. Sadly, even many of her longtime fans who once proudly wore her name on their heads now prefer to keep it to themselves. I don't think that's because we've stopped loving her. It's because, over the years, she's made it increasingly difficult for us to defend her, people can't seem to separate the legendary artist from the diva persona she's keeps holding on to. She really thinks the diva persona is killing it, and she's actually right about it. (Monday 13 July 2026; 17:16) this is a reply to message 114,139

WH vs MC (114,139) by Zachariah from Croatia Every time there's a discussion about the greatest vocalists in history, Whitney Houston's name almost automatically gets declared untouchable. It's as if any criticism is forbidden. But few want to admit the obvious fact: in the last years of her life, her voice was no longer what it once was. Longstanding health and addiction issues left a deep mark on her vocal abilities, and performances that once thrilled became uneven and often painful to watch. If Whitney Houston had lived another ten or fifteen years and continued performing regularly, it's questionable whether the audience would still unanimously call her the greatest singer of all time. It's more likely that, like many other legends, she would have had to hear criticism that she no longer had the voice that made her famous. Death stopped that story at a moment when the myth could have outweighed the reality. If there is a double standard in the music industry, it is most clearly seen in the example of Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey. Whitney Houston is today almost unanimously described as the greatest voice of all time. Her best performances are talked about for a reason - they were spectacular. But it is rarely mentioned that in the final years of her life her voice was seriously compromised. Had she continued performing for another decade, it is very possible she would have faced the same criticism that many music veterans face today. On the other hand, Mariah Carey has been going through media attacks for years. When a performance isn't perfect, social media floods with accusations of lip-syncing, ridicule, and claims that she can no longer sing. As if no one remembers that it was she who, during the nineties and early 2000s, set vocal technique standards that few can reach. That doesn't mean Mariah sings today the same way she did 25 years ago. She doesn't. But Whitney Houston didn't sing the same in the last years of her life as she did at the peak of her career either. The difference is that Whitney is mostly judged today by her best recordings, while Mariah is judged every day by every new performance. Maybe it's time to stop comparing artists based on their worst days or idealizing them after they've passed. If we want to be fair, we have to acknowledge both the highs and lows of all great singers - whether they're still with us or not. (Sunday 12 July 2026; 11:11)

Oh Taylor (114,107) by Edward from USA Taylor made history in 2023 by becoming the first musician to reach billionaire status solely through her music, songwriting, and touring revenue, largely thanks to the historic Eras Tour. I think it's time for her to take a well deserved break, just like Rihanna did. Have a few babies, disappear for a while, and then come back when nobody remembers her. (Monday 6 July 2026; 03:27)

MC's best bridge (114,102) by Edward from USA I can't pretend these tears Aren't overflowing steadily I can't prevent this hurt from almost overtaking me But I will stand and say goodbye For you'll never be mine Until you know the way it feels to fly Honorable mention And it's hard And it's hard And it's hard (Sunday 5 July 2026; 05:44)

MC in the studio (114,073) by Edward from USA They told Mariah she would likely lose the whistle register, not her singing voice completely. I've even seen some voice experts say that the nodules themselves don't create the whistle register, they may have just made it easier for her to access it, that she would only have to find it again after surgery. I totally understand why she didn't want to have surgery back then. Her voice was still incredible, and I can see why she wouldn't want to risk changing something that was working. But now? Even the whistle register doesn't sound pleasing to the ear, so what's really the point? Personally, I'd rather hear her regular singing voice restored to a decent level than keep holding on to a pony that isn't really doing that one trick anymore. Even though you didn't mention it, a lot of fans like to bring up Julie Andrews as a reason Mariah was right not to have her nodules removed. I don't think that's a fair comparison. Julie's voice was damaged because of complications during surgery that wasn't intended to treat vocal nodules or improve a singer's voice. Mariah would've been having a specialized microsurgery specifically designed to remove vocal nodules while preserving vocal function. They're two completely different situations. With today's technology and experienced laryngeal surgeons, that procedure has a very good success rate. Singers like Adele and many others have had vocal fold surgery and returned to performing at a very high level. And let's be real, she's 57. That ship may have already sailed, but I still think she has one last chance to go out with a banger. Give us an amazing album with killer vocals, even if they have to be tweaked in the studio. I really don't care at this point. Whatever she's cooking up in the studio, I just hope it's not another old tired safe R&B album. If there was ever a time to surprise everyone and do something completely unexpected, it's now. R&B is clearly not the hit making machine it was in the '90s and 2000s, and I don't think she's fully accepted that yet. And please, don't make us wait another seven years. By then we'll all be comparing our cholesterol medication, and Mariah would be talking in her albums. (Wednesday 1 July 2026; 18:27) this is a reply to message 114,072

MC in the studio (114,072) by nancy from Switzerland I think Mariah needs to have her vocal chords nodules removed at this point. She has been told once that if she decided to do it, there would be risks of losing her voice completely. Now we are on a level that maybe it cannot be solved without any intervention. The voice is so strained and weak. Almost not there anymore. Of course it is her decision what to do about it. There are many artist who have undergone vocal surgeries. Maybe it's the only hope she has. (Wednesday 1 July 2026; 14:05)

It's a wrap (114,021) by Edward from USA Jamie, that's exactly how I feel. I don't think most OG fans wanted Mariah to stay exactly the same forever. We just wanted her to keep the things that made us love her in the first place, her authenticity, her humility, and the focus on her talent instead of all the superficial stuff. Her metamorphosis on "Butterfly" was shockingly amazing to me, she was sexy without even trying. Up until around 2012, she was still a diva, but there was still a lot of the old Mariah there. Now she seems like she's on autopilot. Her concerts are basically the same show over and over again. She just stands there, looking more focused on not missing one of her many lipping cues or forgetting the lyrics than actually connecting with the audience. Everything feels flat like the shoes she refuses to wear. Like you and Bill, I'm just happy I got to experience her when she was at her best. At least we have all that amazing music to go back to, and those remixes were everything. For me, the closes she got to replicate 90's remixes was with "Triumphant", after that, most of it was pretty meh. As much as I love Mariah, I wouldn't pay to see her live at this point. I feel the same way about Madonna. Her shows are definitely more interesting, and the production value is still impressive, but she barely moves. She's in amazing shape, but you can still see the difference. She's also still leaning on the same shock-value tactics that worked 30 years ago, and they just don't hit the same when you're pushing 70.

It's a wrap (114,018) by Jamie from UK Yes watching her early interviews she's all about the music. Now all she really cares about is how she looks, some of which will have affected her voice indirectly and directly. She once said she wasn't all about the glitz and glamour. Now that's all she's about. It's a real shame she went this way, but she only has herself to blame. It was cute at first but eventually it's overtaken the music and even her personality. She will never be like she was but it would be nice for her to still be humble and connected. I used to follow Mariah to hotels just to get a glimpse of her, I couldn't wait to see her on TV or in concerts, I'd constantly be chasing down memorabilia. It's a sad day when I'm clinging onto the old Mariah and the pre 2016 Mariah as I currently feel disconnected from who she is right now. It makes me sad to feel this way. (Friday 19 June 2026; 14:21)

It's a wrap (114,010) by Edward from USA Remember that some lambs love the drama of pretending they're drowning in a glass of water. The facts: Mariah is a legendary musician. The fiction: There is a brilliant, dormant actress inside of her just begging to be awakened. The delusion: Tommy is the sole reason she doesn't have an "Oscar-winning acting career".

It's a wrap (114,009) by Zachariah from Croatia Nobody's maligning you. We just upgraded "maybe she has some untapped potential" into the equally radical position of "maybe she doesn't". You're accusing people of misrepresenting your point while dramatically turning disagreement into a coordinated attack on your worldview. That's a lot of mileage from a Mariah Carey acting discussion. Disagreeing with your assessment of an actress isn't a worldview. It's called having a different assessment of an actress. The irony of accusing people of misrepresenting your point while turning simple disagreement into a battle over your worldview is pretty hard to miss. (Wednesday 17 June 2026; 15:08)

It's a wrap (113,997) by Edward from USA An unknown mediocre actor is not the same thing as Mariah Carey being mediocre at acting. Everything Mariah does gets magnified because of who she is. A random actor can be average and nobody cares. Mariah can't. Every role, every performance, every line delivery is going to be picked apart because she's Mariah Carey. So saying "you don't have to be good to act" kind of misses the point. Sure, you don't. But why would anyone want her to pursue something she's never really been great at when she has other talents that are much more proven? And I don't really buy the argument about her writing and producing either. Not every song written by Diane Warren, Babyface, or any other legendary songwriter is a hit. That's just the nature of the business. The difference is that Mariah has an entire career's worth of songwriting accomplishments behind her. Her track record as a writer is infinitely stronger than her track record as an actress. At the end of the day, it's not about whether she can act. It's about where she's most likely to succeed and create something worthwhile. Outside of Precious, acting has never really been her lane. Writing, producing, and creating music have always been. If she's looking for a new creative outlet, it makes a lot more sense to lean into the things she's actually excelled at instead of chasing a film career that's never really taken off.

It's a wrap (113,996) by TheButterflyReturns from United States Who says you have to be "good" in order to pursue film and TV roles? There are plenty of people in the film and TV industry who are mediocre. Just look at anything that Tyler Perry has put out and you can see that superb acting chops are not a requirement to be in a hit film or TV show. At least it would be something different than robotically miming past hits. And you forget... Mariah has already tried writing and producing for her other artists in the past with pretty middling results. I think her ego is too big to go back to letting other artists to sing stuff that she's written and produced. In the past, most of the things she wrote for other people were cast offs - songs she didn't want to keep for herself because they weren't very good. She's not disciplined enough to do what Diane Warren, Babyface and other professional songwriters do. (Tuesday 16 June 2026; 12:26)

It's a wrap (113,991) by Edward from USA "Acting again", is that a joke? "Precious" is the closest she's ever come to actually acting. In most of her other roles, she was basically just playing herself. At this point, I think she should stay away from acting and focus on writing and producing. Out of all her talents, those are the areas where she can still really shine and make the most of what she brings to the table. JLo is to singing what Mariah is to acting.

It's a wrap (113,989) by TheButterflyReturns from United States It certainly does seem like Mariah has been in a pattern of "arrested development" since the "Butterfly" era. She has worked with different producers but they're overall from the same musical lane. There have been rare exceptions - "Right to Dream" with Willie Nelson, "Giving Me Life" with Blood Orange, "Beautiful" with Miguel. From where I sit, Mariah seems unwilling to step outside her comfort zone and content to release a throwaway album here and there while concentrating energy on legacy releases and the massive royalty checks coming in at Christmas time. Music doesn't seem to bring her much joy these days, so I wonder if it might be an opportune time to attempt acting again even if it's just Made for TV movies or a periodic TV show role. She did good work in "Wisegirls", "Precious", and "Tennessee". I'd rather see her do that for a while than just watching her lip sync past hits joylessly in overpriced stadium shows year after year.

Mariah cover songs (113,814) by Edward from USA Her Minnie Mouse on helium version of "One More Try" was truly horrendous, in my humble opinion. She really shouldn't have gone anywhere near that song after 2012. It was always one of those songs I dreamed of her covering. I'd even get annoyed just imagining her cutting it down to some rushed 3.5min version. So when the tracklist leaked and I saw she kept the full length intact, I was actually excited. Then release day came and... I was shocked, like, what the heck did you do? For the first time ever, I genuinely felt like she took a classic and completely butchered it. Somebody on YouTube mixed her version with George Michael's original vocals and turned it into a duet that's way more passable. (Thursday 14 May 2026; 17:19) this is a reply to message 113,813

Article: Mariah Carey sticking with Gamma Records (113,804) by Edward from USA Once again, stop pulling stuff out of your behind. There's no such law, it's just a proposal called the Pied-à-Terre Tax that's been floating around in New York politics for over a decade now. Mariah is clearly downsizing, and I think she's being smart about it. A lot of artists do that as they get older and the money isn't coming in like it used to. Mariah herself has said there's not much money in streaming, and she's not doing long arena tours either. By the time you pay Uncle Sam, agents, lawyers, managers, staff, and all the other expenses, there's really not as much left as people think. People acting like Mariah is still making 90s money are delusional. (Tuesday 12 May 2026; 03:46) this is a reply to message 113,802

Article: Mariah Carey sticking with Gamma Records (113,802) by Nikki from usa Ah, yes - forever this dude. I wouldn't say so much "downsizing" as there's a new law for NY residents who don't live in their home full time to pay an arm and a leg in taxes. Most of MC's work these days is in Cali, so it's not worth it to keep it for how little she's there anymore. It was a great home for over 2 decades though. However, because of that - I'm not sure who's going to want to buy it. It may not even be cost effective as an air b&b. Hopefully, she can sell it. It's worth a lot. (Tuesday 12 May 2026; 02:59)

The Revival Of Mariah Carey (113,714) by MusicfanJ from Germany If this is true with the vocal surgerey I wish she would tell us. I hope it's not true. I still think it's because of all the other reasons that we have talked about on this board. We'll see, if maybe after a longer vacation or so it will get better again. One can hope.

The Revival Of Mariah Carey (113,704) by Edward from USA "Play This Song" is nice melodically, but the delivery just feels flat as flat can be. It kind of comes off a bit soulless to me, which is a shame because it had potential. I don't know if Mariah realizes that an album without at least a little bit of that signature "Mariah" sprinkled in here and there just doesn't hit the same. She doesn't have to be belting all the time, but she had plenty of time, and a real chance, to lay down stronger vocals for HFIA, especially since a lot of those songs were recorded years ago.

The Revival Of Mariah Carey (113,696) by Jamie from UK I love Play This Song, the vibe is great if the vocals compared to say Emancipation it would have surely done better. (Friday 24 April 2026; 09:43)
