About Edward from USA:

Re: Butterfly 25 (101,205) (101,206) by Edward from USA Writing a song for someone doesn't necessarily mean you have to make a demo of it. Just like there's not a demo for "Where Are You Christmas", I don't think there are demos for those songs either. Mariah stated, back when she released "The Rarities", that she had used everything from the "Butterfly Sessions" that's why anything from that era was absent on it. Since she said she got her voice back during the pandemic, I hope to hear some awesome studio vocals on some of these new tracks. According to what you see on the promo, it's a 2-CD set, probably one with the original album and the second with the bonus material. At this point, I'm happy we're getting some new music building up to Christmas. (Thursday 15 September 2022; 17:15)

The Butterfly Lounge (101,197) by Edward from USA As I said, "The Butterfly Lounge" project should've been cooked and ready so be served by now. The following is an excerpt of an interview she had back in December 2021 Expanding on the other projects she's cooking, she more excitedly added: "I'm working on this thing called the 'Butterfly Lounge,' and it's basically me creating music. So you're watching me talk to the guitar player, talk to the bass player and tell them, like, 'Here are the notes I want to hear, blah blah blah.' We're writing, and you're watching the process of me writing. So I think we'll find whatever streaming service is the best for this. We've been doing this for the whole year because I got my voice back. And we were at home and we didn't have to run around and do all this nonsense, y'know? We're also working on the adaptation of the memoir. But that's something else." (Wednesday 14 September 2022; 18:44)

Re: Atlanta home (101,191) (101,196) by Edward from USA Mariah had been working on the Butterfly Lounge for a long long time without distractions. She wasn't touring, she had plenty of time to put it together. I think she'll drop whatever she cooked pretty soon. (Wednesday 14 September 2022; 18:33)

Re: Mariah's age (101,189) (101,190) by Edward from USA Mariah also said her boobs augmentation was due to push-up bras. She couldn't keep on denying it when her boobs came out of the closet. At this point in her career/life, 52 or 53 is all the same. Lol. (Tuesday 13 September 2022; 20:05)

Re: Blood Orange (101,186) (101,187) by Edward from USA I've seen Mariah at the Beacon Theater 3 times, but since they kind of discovered she could do a venue 20 bigger than that, I don't think we'll see her at the Beacon Theater doing the Christmas show ever again. Mariah is big on Christmas hence her Christmas shows do so well. I think she'll try to capitalize on them as much as she can. (Monday 12 September 2022; 17:49)

Re: I wish for Butterfly: unplugged for Butterfly 25 (101,177) (101,178) by Edward from USA The Roof ft Brandy was actually decent. (Sunday 11 September 2022; 01:44)

Re: I wish for Butterfly: unplugged for Butterfly 25 (101,173) (101,176) by Edward from USA I agree with you 100%. When she re-recorded Hero, it was a let-down for me. That's why I'm kind of against of her re-recording any of her classics. I've always said, if you can't at least deliver the same quality or improve on it, do not touch it. "I Wanna Know What Love Is" was her last decent cover. Her "One More Try" cover was a sacrilege. I didn't like her re-recording of "Close My Eyes" either. (Saturday 10 September 2022; 20:39)

Re: Butterfly 25 (101,166) (101,168) by Edward from USA I think she's going to drop something unannounced and let it walk on its own legs. (Friday 9 September 2022; 21:09)

Re: Toni Braxton (101,143) (101,144) by Edward from USA "Let It Flow" is my jam. I love the way she sings it. Toni has a very unique voice, you can't mistake her for anybody else. Her first album, you can listen to from start to finish without skipping a track, but my favorite "Secrets" has the jams I love more from her. "You're Making Me High", "Let It Flow", "How Could an Angel Break My Heart", love them all. Sadly her light kind of faded quickly after "Secrets". (Monday 5 September 2022; 16:20)

Re: Pregnancy (101,124) (101,126) by Edward from USA I'm pretty sure you would agree that watching Marian and Luther singing "Endless Love" live is like having a perfectly balanced, nourishing and non-fattening meal with no room for donuts. Not even the fat affirming obesity police could dispute that. (Friday 2 September 2022; 17:56)

Re: Endless Love (101,114) (101,119) by Edward from USA It's not just awesome, it's simple impeccable, epic, unrepeatable! A moment in time. When I discovered it, I watched it thousands of times, and I still watch it. Mariah was simply beautiful, her demeanor was lovely, and Luther, well, Luther was just perfect. Luther had that distinctive buttery voice that's rarely ever heard anymore. May he rest in peace. I do miss him. (Thursday 1 September 2022; 14:23)

Re: Pregnancy (101,115) (101,118) by Edward from USA First of all, how do you know my experience/knowledge? Your opinion, just as mine, is an opinion. For your information, and this is not an opinion, you don't have to be 300lbs to be obese, your BMI only has to be 30 or above for that to happen. Most people we consider overweight are actually obese, but that wasn't the point of my post. Mariah herself had a very difficult pregnancy with the twins when she was in her very early 40's, so I doubt she would just decide to get pregnant out of the blue just for the fun of it. I also stated that her weight gain is most likely due to other factors. (Thursday 1 September 2022; 14:14)

Pregnancy (101,113) by Edward from USA I doubt Marian would decide to get pregnant at 53. If she wanted more babies, she probably would've used a surrogate. Her obesity might be a result of other factors. She will definitely be in shape for Christmas. (Wednesday 31 August 2022; 18:02)

New music (101,106) by Edward from USA I don't think Mariah is about to release any new music anytime soon. When she's about to release a new project, she usually works on getting fit for video shoots and interiews, but judging by her outing the other day, she's not in the best of shapes to shoot video with Ariana or anyone, Mariah said she used everything she had for Butterfly, so I doubt there's anything left from that era. As for the demos for "All Cried Out" and the other two songs, unless they had been left overs from her previous work, I doubt she recorded them. I'm hoping to be proven wrong though.

Re: If it was Whitney? (101,039) (101,044) by Edward from USA You could be the biggest and most respected name, but if what you're putting out doesn't guarantee revenue, it would be stupid to invest your coins in said product. Would you invest a million dollars in a Mariah video other than anything related to AIWFCIY? I doubt you would. It's business. Madonna can't sell two records, but she's strong on concerts still. She makes more from a tour that what she would if she had a very successful album. Mariah is strong on Christmas, it is what it is. (Thursday 25 August 2022; 18:18)

Re: Nick Cannon (101,030) (101,037) by Edward from USA Nick is an effing joke of a man. He's being deliberately having these kids only thinking about himself. He's also being the worst role model for all of them. I'm glad Mariah removed herself from this mess. These are some of the ridiculous names he's given some of these kids: "Powerful Queen" and "Legendary Love". Lord have mercy. (Thursday 25 August 2022; 14:14)

The Butterfly Lounge (101,026) by Edward from USA What ever happened to the "Butterfly Lounge Project"? It seems as if it was abandoned or something. It's been 4 years since we had any proper music, and it was only a 10-track album. She hasn't toured or had any shows since the pandemic so she should've put something out already. I can't believe all we'll get is the same Christmas stuff plus maybe some hyped up mediocre song with a video of Marian touching herself in the snow. We need at least "The Rarities 2" ASAP. (Wednesday 24 August 2022; 18:39)

Re: Mariah and Luis duet (101,018) (101,022) by Edward from USA That's the official story confirmed by Marian. They couldn't use After Tonight for the series for legal reasons. Luis didn't like the final product and because the album was being recorded in such a short period of time, Marian went with solo version. (Tuesday 23 August 2022; 04:30)

Re: Mariah and Luis duet (101,014) (101,015) by Edward from USA Mine too. The look on Enrique's face when Whitney belts that note is priceless. He even laughs a little, like saying to himself: Oh no, she didn't. It was just an epic moment. (Monday 22 August 2022; 16:19)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey wants to trademark "Queen of Christmas" (100,998) (101,000) by Edward from USA Someone must've said her name three times. (Friday 19 August 2022; 13:38)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey wants to trademark "Queen of Christmas" (100,991) (100,992) by Edward from USA Mariah has been hailed as "The Queen of Christmas" for nearly a decade now and she's always been nonchalant about it. This is a ridiculous move as if she were desperate for coins. The dinosaur who advised her about it should be fired. (Thursday 18 August 2022; 17:34)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey's Atlanta home burglarized (100,982) (100,983) by Edward from USA Artist like Mariah don't tend to move their awards around like that, many of them even have a storage for them, so I doubt that wherever Mariah goes she takes her awards with her. What's weird is the fact the house since to have been unattended. I don't think Mariah got this house with the purpose of living in it, but to have a place to state while she's working on the project she's working on. It's good they were not there, the rest is replaceable with insurance. (Monday 15 August 2022; 22:46)

Re: RIP Olivia Newton John (100,950) (100,951) by Edward from USA I have a feeling "The Rarities 2" is happening soon and by surprise. (Wednesday 10 August 2022; 14:35)

Re: RIP Olivia Newton John (100,940) (100,941) by Edward from USA I've always wanted Mariah to cover Olivia's "Hopelessly Devoted" during her prime. Olivia always came across as a genuine and classy person, may her soul rest in peace. (Tuesday 9 August 2022; 02:19)

Re: Best breakup album: Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel (100,901) (100,904) by Edward from USA By the Daydream era, Mariah lived with Tommy at Sing Sing, so I doubt she could've accomplished that. She could've sneaked out for a couple of hours at best, but with the tabs he kept on her, it's highly unlikely. Remember when Mariah snaked out with Da Brad and Tommy's ass almost cracked? I think it all happened when they had separated. In Mariah's mind there was a possibility of them getting back together, that's why she wrote Butterfly, I think it's not that she didn't love him, it's that he was suffocating her.
