About Edward from USA:

New era? (103,252) by Edward from USA The arrogance. Let's keep on talking and debating Mariah's future career, this is not MariahDaily Messageboard. While Mariah has had the very illustrious career most could only dream of, she's not 80, just a 54-year young woman. She has significantly slowed down in the last 10 years and nobody has gone crazy about it. (Monday 28 August 2023; 22:50) this is a reply to message 103,251

New era? (103,251) by David from USA This. You said everything that needs to be said. There's really nothing, literally nothing, else that needs to be discussed about Mariah's future career after this post. Of course, that won't happen, since most of the people on this board would have nowhere to go to express their incredible negativity and insults in an effort to project their own unhappiness.

Great topics this week (103,244) by Edward from USA Robert-Anthony, make up your mind about all these British men. Remember that Gluttony is one of the seven deadly sins. (Wednesday 23 August 2023; 07:42) this is a reply to message 103,243

Great topics this week (103,243) by Robert-Anthony from United States I am Andrew. Lol. I love your new profile pic. I thought you had forgotten about me. (Tuesday 22 August 2023; 22:59)

New song? (103,231) by Edward from USA It's called "All to Myself". It's one of the Pepsi ringtones she made back when she got emancipated and changed her name to Mimi. (Monday 21 August 2023; 00:49) this is a reply to message 103,230

New song? (103,230) by Robert-Anthony from United States What is the name of the song at the beginning of this video? I have never heard this song before. (Sunday 20 August 2023; 20:58)

Bill and Rob (103,223) by Edward from USA Bill and Robert-Anthony, stop flirting with Jamie, that's homophobic. Jamie, nice picture. (Saturday 19 August 2023; 17:15)

The Price Sisters and Melonie - underrated gems (103,214) by Edward from USA It is perfection indeed. Even though I discovered "Everything Fades Away" years later since it wasn't part of the US version of Music Box, I've placed it at the end of "All I've Ever Wanted", but it always sounds out of place to me. It's a good thing it is now on "The Rarities". "All I've Ever Wanted" vocals are insane. (Saturday 19 August 2023; 03:46) this is a reply to message 103,212

The Price Sisters and Melonie - underrated gems (103,212) by Andrew from the UK Everything Fades Away is one of the best unreleased Mariah songs ever. All I've Ever Wanted followed by Everything Fades Away is just magical. Listening to them on repeat now in bed as I used to many years ago. She should have released All I've Ever Wanted. She ought to have received a Grammy for the vocal performance on it. It's perfection. (Friday 18 August 2023; 23:43)

Nodules (103,200) by Edward from USA One can only dream. Many artists have had their nodules treated surgically like Justin Timberlake, Sam Smith, Tove Lo, Adele, Björk, Shirley Manson, Keith Urban, John Mayer and Rod Stewart. (Thursday 17 August 2023; 20:38) this is a reply to message 103,196

Nodules (103,196) by Zachariah from Croatia I think she got her nodules removed and the news will be her new voice. (Thursday 17 August 2023; 13:42)

Kelly Price (103,197) by Edward from USA I was just about to post that. I don't see the reason for her to lie either. She was very nice about her journey with MC in one of her most recent interviews. (Thursday 17 August 2023; 14:03) this is a reply to message 103,195

Kelly Price (103,195) by Randy from USA If you look inside the booklet it says Background: Mariah Carey & Kelly Price only. (Wednesday 16 August 2023; 23:56)

Perfection (103,186) by Edward from USA There are going to be many virtual artists like Gorillaz, but I don't think real artists are going to disappear. While a great song is a great song for most casual listener, fans will always appreciate and look for the human connection. AI is going to be incorporated in everything, we're going to have to deal with it with laws and regulations. (Tuesday 15 August 2023; 14:16) this is a reply to message 103,185

Perfection (103,185) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway I agree. Truths and facts and face value of things have started to get blurry. It's a dangerous road the world is on right now, and AI produced covers and songs from living and dead artists is just another thing on that road. Imagine in maybe 50 years, many people will have forgotten what's real and what's not real. If these AI manufactured things wont stop without a license or with warnings that it's not real, people in the future wont investigate every single thing they will come across, and fake song will be thought of as original work. With this developement, people wont know which songs that are actually written and sung by Mariah. One can question if it's a bad thing or not, perhaps Mariah's legacy will live longer? For me personally I would like the original work of an artist to live on, not some manufactured songs without soul. (Tuesday 15 August 2023; 03:40)

Perfection (103,184) by Edward from USA I had forgotten about "There for Me". We also need "All In Your Mind" vault version. I'll never understand how great quality songs like "One Night" and "Right Here on My Own" were kept hidden for so long. (Monday 14 August 2023; 23:23) this is a reply to message 103,183

Perfection (103,183) by Bill from the UK Randy's Theme hahaha. I also wish There For Me got a spot on the record, as well as I Lose Control from the debut album. Narada Michael Walden has the master but won't release it until Mariah gives the green light. I'm like, please Mariah. Please. I need every note you ever uttered from 1990 in my life. Here We Go Around Again was a dream come true, I cried when I first heard it. (Monday 14 August 2023; 22:08)

Perfection (103,182) by Edward from USA The genie is out and the bottle has been destroyed. Disruption has started. The tweaking artists do in the studio is already being done with AI. Artist will eventually end up licensing their voices too and we'll have AI albums from current and deceased artists. The music scene, as we know it, is about to change drastically. (Monday 14 August 2023; 17:43) this is a reply to message 103,179

Perfection (103,179) by Andrew from the UK The AI voice is incredible. I would likely not have known the difference. But you are right: knowing it's not real takes away the essential aspect of listening to and being a fan of an artist - especially in Mariah's case as somebody that writes and produces the music, too. Who gets passionate about a computer? YouTube fed me If Only You Know/Somewhere Over the Rainbow (1998) and You and I (2002) so it redeemed itself. But this AI world needs strict regulation - very quickly. The SAG are right to strike, musicians alike should down tools to negatively impact the Western economy until a regulatory framework is introduced whereby it is unlawful to reproduce someone's image and voice using AI without consent. No good - let me say again - no good can come from any of this. (Monday 14 August 2023; 13:12)

Perfection (103,181) by Edward from USA I agree, but Mariah AI "Last Chance" is different. Most Mariah's AI content doesn't sound like her because they need a base voice and then replaces it with her voice. The problem is that AI will still use the base voice style, enunciation,, diction and accent. "Last Chance" was written and produced by Mariah, the whistles at the beginning were originally sung by her. On top of that, the base voice is singing it as Mariah would, so when the voices are switched, it works perfectly. I haven't been impressed with any other Mariah AI covers, but "Last Chance" is perfect for me. I dropped "Closed My Eyes" and "Save the Horrible Day" from "The Rarities" and inserted "Last Chance", "Help Me Make It", "Randy's Theme" and Almost Home", in chronological order of course. Now "The Rarities" is just perfect. (Monday 14 August 2023; 17:15) this is a reply to message 103,178

Perfection (103,178) by MusicfanJ from Germany Absolutely. I can't stand this KI stuff. It really takes the magic away. I need a real human voice not a human voice mixed by a KI. There's no real emotion on it. (Monday 14 August 2023; 11:22)

Perfection (103,170) by Edward from USA I've always thought Mariah had written "All Cried Out", but it turns out she didn't. It's a remake from the 80's. I'm stunned. There's a possibility Mariah actually remade "All Cried Out" for herself, shelved it and later produced it for Allure. A demo wouldn't make sense now since the original singer sings it in the same key and could be used as a reference. If Mariah didn't remake for one of her a projects, the chances that there's a demo out there are very slim. (Saturday 12 August 2023; 13:06) this is a reply to message 103,169

Perfection (103,169) by Terna from Nigeria I was stunned. It's so realistic and exactly how I always thought she would've sung it - the desperation in her voice on the first chorus, just wow. I immediately made an Mp3 too. Haha. (Saturday 12 August 2023; 11:32)

Perfection (103,166) by Edward from USA That's an excellent idea, Robert-Anthony. I hope Mariah's paying attention. (Saturday 12 August 2023; 00:24) this is a reply to message 103,165

Perfection (103,165) by Robert-Anthony from United States I have to make me a copy too. Edward, you just gave me an idea. I am starting The Rarities 2 Twitter campaign tomorrow. Look for it tomorrow evening on MC's Twitter feed. (Friday 11 August 2023; 23:29)

Perfection (103,164) by Edward from USA This is the best AI Mariah's voice cover so far. It helps that it is sung in her style. Just made my own Mp3 just in case they take it down. It's simply amazing. We need The Rarities 2 right now. (Friday 11 August 2023; 22:14) this is a reply to message 103,163

Perfection (103,163) by Terna from Nigeria Butterfly 25th needed this version. (Friday 11 August 2023; 21:03)

First Vision (103,160) by Edward from USA What is a DVD? (Thursday 10 August 2023; 14:17) this is a reply to message 103,159

First Vision (103,159) by Jamie from UK Amazing thought. But I doubt it as not sure music DVD's would sell enough to make them. (Thursday 10 August 2023; 12:29)

Tommy or no career at all (103,149) by Edward from USA I love your sarcasm. (Tuesday 8 August 2023; 05:42) this is a reply to message 103,148

Tommy or no career at all (103,148) by Robert-Anthony from United States Hey Biil, that's my favorite song with MC, JB, and TI. (Monday 7 August 2023; 22:25)

Were I Mariah's manager (103,134) by Edward from USA 4 years, 8 months and 19 days to be exact. Basically 5 years. I think Mariah has the theme album and the "Someone's Ugly Daughter" album ready. It seems to be she's having a tough time finding a label willing to invest given the fact that she doesn't sell much anymore. (Friday 4 August 2023; 17:33) this is a reply to message 103,133

Were I Mariah's manager (103,133) by Robert-Anthony from United States It must be heartbreaking for MC that she can't sing in the studio anymore to record songs for a new project. It has only been 4 years since Caution was released, but man it feels more like 6 years. I am sure there are a lot regrets now about not taking better care of her voice. (Friday 4 August 2023; 02:19)

Were I Mariah's manager (103,132) by Edward from USA At least she can still say: "Hey, hey, hey" and "And you, and you, and you". Don't count her out. (Thursday 3 August 2023; 19:28) this is a reply to message 103,130

Were I Mariah's manager (103,130) by Nick G from Germany There's only one problem. Mariah can no longer sing live. (Thursday 3 August 2023; 14:08)

Mariah's version (103,110) by Edward from USA Did you just have an epiphany? Of course most of us guys here at MCArchives are not gay. The fact that 99 percent of her male fans love rainbow t-shirts, butterfly hair ornaments and some use MC perfume is pure coincidence. To avoid stereotypes I just use pink three times a week, but keep my MC nail polish collection hidden. (Monday 31 July 2023; 14:55) this is a reply to message 103,109

Mariah's version (103,109) by Nick G from Germany What, not everyone here is gay??? I'm shocked. That's a scandal. (Monday 31 July 2023; 11:09)

Mariah's version (103,108) by Edward from USA Pretty soon we'll be called transphobic, it's the new trend. (Monday 31 July 2023; 01:32) this is a reply to message 103,106

Mariah's version (103,106) by Bill from the UK Careful Eddie. I referred to the "yaas queen" fans once and got called homophobic. Me of all people lol. (Sunday 30 July 2023; 22:43)

Mariah's version (103,104) by Edward from USA When she was defrosting leading up to last Christmas, she had ample time to be ready for decent performances during the first few shows, but we saw how unprepared she was. How many wake up calls does she need? The gay pride performance was painful to watch. It seems to be she doesn't really care anymore, which is perfectly fine. I don't see anything wrong with her enjoying the time with her family and retire with dignity. I just don't want her to keep embarrassing herself during these random performances. While the "yass queen" fans love it when she embarrass herself like that, I, instead, feel bad for her and her impressive catalog. She needs real friends who don't lie to her to keep a paycheck coming. (Sunday 30 July 2023; 13:53) this is a reply to message 103,103

Mariah's version (103,103) by Jamie from UK I'd say it's a mixture of both, but deep down all famous people want to still be relevant that's why a lot of them go off the rails so to speak. Hopefully the last few performances have been a wake up call for her. (Sunday 30 July 2023; 11:52)

Mariah's version (103,096) by Edward from USA Had she sung it live, it would've been fine with me The fact that was the best she could do in the studio, It's very telling. I hadn't ever watched it before you mentioned it. I wish I hadn't. (Saturday 29 July 2023; 01:00) this is a reply to message 103,095

Mariah's version (103,095) by Bill from the UK I don't think I can forgive her for that hideous remake of "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)". What was she thinking? The 1994 version is faultless. (Friday 28 July 2023; 23:47)

Mariah's version (103,094) by Edward from USA Robert, I don't know if you have noticed, but Mariah is struggling even in her whisper register. I know her whisper register is not an easy one to tackle, but she's been struggling in all the facets of her voice. When you see an artist dodging notes, relying heavily on their backup singers, pre-recorded tracks, and expecting the audience to sing for them those notes they can't, it is a signal that something is deeply wrong. She's had an amazing career and she'll always have Christmas, but the Mariah we knew, yes, that Mariah post prime, is also gone. I've always thought she could get better should she discipline herself and put in the work, but that's up to her. I'm looking forward to Christmas now. She's the queen. Hopefully next year she'll surprise us all. (Friday 28 July 2023; 22:42) this is a reply to message 103,093

Mariah's version (103,093) by Robert-Anthony from United States Edward, are you saying MC's career over? She can lower the key to fit her current voice. I wish she would collaborate more with Nashville producers like Tedd T and David Garcia who probably could help her craft different versions of her catalogue or just a new song with her current voice. (Friday 28 July 2023; 20:47)

Mariah's version (103,092) by Edward from USA Mariah is definitely not in a good place vocally to accomplish what Taylor is doing while she's still super popular. She should've done something like that back in 2010-2013, but I guess that ship has sailed. This is just beautiful. Had she re-worked some of her hits around this time, she would've come out a winner. Sadly, Mariah can't sing two words straight these days. It is sad, but evidenced by her last performance, it is true. (Friday 28 July 2023; 19:02) this is a reply to message 103,091

Mariah's version (103,091) by Robert-Anthony from United States Taylor Swift just recently released Speak Now Taylor's Version. She is definitely a business woman. I wish MC would re-record more of her most famous songs and her favorites that didn't get much love on the radio or albums. She could do it with the right producer. (Friday 28 July 2023; 16:01)

RIP Sinéad O'Connor (103,080) by Edward from USA I didn't even realize about the "RIP" from your post. I'm here ready to start listening to "Universal Mother" when the news of her dead just came on TV. Sinéad O'Connor and Dolores O'Riordan had very tormented lives, but their artistry was just unique and great. May she rest in peace. (Thursday 27 July 2023; 01:34) this is a reply to message 103,078

RIP Sinéad O'Connor (103,078) by MC1989 from Spain One of the greatest voices ever. One of my biggest musical references. I highly recommend her album Universal Mother, it's pure perfection from start to finish. And I also recommend her book from 2021, Rememberings. With Mariah's memoir, one of the best autobiographies I've read in the recent years. (Thursday 27 July 2023; 00:30)
