About Edward from USA:

Re: Mariah Carey's manager fires back (73,450) (73,453) by Edward from USA You're so on point. Why worry about Stella's statements and weird behavior when they're both having a ball while doing it? For me Mariah can start camel-toeing as high as her belly button every day on camera, it's not worth stressing over what she's having fun with. At this point, nothing's weird or with lack class coming from them all surprises me anymore. In the meantime I'm enjoying Ed Sheeran's Divide, a breath of fresh air. Such a great album. (Thursday 9 March 2017; 01:04)

Re: Mariah Carey's manager fires back (73,445) (73,448) by Edward from USA It's not like Mariah doesn't know Crustella's going to make those comments. She agrees with her foul mouth and unprofessional behavior, actually she has adopted some to herself. It seems to be Mariah has finally found her very own Pat Houston. I hope the story doesn't repeat itself. At least it's comforting to know the twins would end up with Nick and his mother. (Wednesday 8 March 2017; 23:23)

Re: If you could (73,398) (73,407) by Edward from USA Licia, I must say that Mariah's version of "The Beautiful Ones" is epic. I expected her to do something similar with "One More Try". "The Beautiful Ones" and "Outside" would be my second and third choice from "Butterfly". (Monday 6 March 2017; 19:55)

Re: If you could (73,392) (73,399) by Edward from USA You know Stella aka Edouard would take this as an attack and complain. I would definitely pick Butterfly, Mine Again, and One More Try (not her Minnie Mouse on helium version). I'm pretty sure that back then she would've gone all out with One More Try, vocally that is. But just in case, I would say: Butterfly, Mine Again, and Make It Look Good. I think those three songs wouldn't disrupt the mood of the album. Putting anything too hip hoppy on it wouldn't make much sense. (Monday 6 March 2017; 16:52)

Re: Attacking Andrew (73,394) (73,397) by Edward from USA It's obvious Mariah got cheek implants. I don't see anything wrong with Mariah enhancing herself a little bit with plastic surgery here and there. I just hope she keeps it to a minimal. Mariah doesn't seem to take advantage of a non-invasive procedure that could render her looking super fabulous, and that is exercising. If she exercised regularly, her body would look toned, she would lose weight and be able to walk without help on stage and on the street with those stilettos she wears. Jane Fonda is a great example of being realistic. She felt younger than what her face showed. She got something done on her face not to look that old, but she clearly didn't want to look like Joan Rivers either. I love me some Joan Rivers, but the woman's face was so stretched she didn't resemble her former self at all. RIP Joan, still love you. Even though Mariah is enjoying her newly-found booty, she has lost those long beautiful expensive legs she and the fans used to brag about. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Mariah got her legs cut off and now is using prosthetic ones, I'm just saying that with the weight, she added lost of junk to her trunk, but she also lost those exceptional legs she used to have. And for God sake Mariah, to have been walking on high heels since you were three, you should have a better command of those things. You should walk on them as if you were on flats. (Monday 6 March 2017; 16:24)

Re: Stella's secret Twitter account (73,316) (73,320) by Edward from USA Martyn, I agree with you. That's definitely Stella. Stella opened two accounts here and started interacting with herself, of course agreeing with the voices in her head. She got caught and now she posts as Edouard from France. I guess now she's on crack. (Friday 3 March 2017; 16:17)

Re: Nikki (73,291) (73,295) by Edward from USA Nikki, I love your unique ability to close your eyes and pretend that the emperor has clothes on. By following your method, when I close my eyes, I can clearly see Mariah's Instagram, Facebook and Official website from 1990-2008. It's full of pictures of Mariah's public display of affection with Tommy, Derek, Luis Miguel, and Nick. I think you're kinda psychic. You should try and see if you can tell when it's going to rain. (Thursday 2 March 2017; 0:47)

Re: Edward (73,270) (73,281) by Edward from USA When Mariah was with Nick, she was still classy. I would like you to show me a pic of Mariah looking desperate with Nick. She didn't look desperate because she was in love, she was in a real relationship, she was glowing. She wasn't looking for attention back then because she was still very popular riding on the TEOM success and with a very good cohesive and fun album out, with a recent #1, that actually had a fun and great video. That was a different Mariah. Packer and Mariah looked more like business partners, most of their romantic pics lacked taste and were purposely leaked to TMZ by Crustella and Mariah. She hired a photographer to take ridiculous pictures of her and Tanaka at the beach in Hawaii just for the sake of a fake reality TV show, the pics looked ridiculous and laughable. If you want to pretend these tasteless pictures on her Instagram don't make her look like a desperate woman looking for attention, I suggest you open your eyes because that's not the Mariah we experienced up until 2013. That "It" thing that distinguished her from the rest is gone. She's acting just like another Reality TV personality, and not one even remotely close to the Kardashians, rather like one of The Real House Wives. (Wednesday 1 March 2017; 15:31)

Article: Mariah courts attention with provocative kissing picture (73,262) by Edward from USA How desperate can she be to post a picture like that on her Instagram? Lord, have Mercy. The Mariah, as we knew her, seems to be completely gone. (Tuesday 28 February 2017; 20:23)

"She don't" (73,249) by Edward from USA While I think releasing a series of 3 or 4 singles before a project is OK, these singles should be intended as part of unit, cohesively that is, not just thrown in there for the sake of having them all as a unit for people to purchase. Mariah greatest songs are usually not singles, so having many half-cooked singles out leading up to a project when they are all flopping is not a good idea. If Mariah is not going to put the effort, I don't see the need of being part of a label. If she produced a series of singles leading up to an album like E=MC2, that would definitely be a different scenario. I hope that by shielding herself too much she's not detaching herself from reality. She should know by now that "I Don't" is not going happen. (Tuesday 28 February 2017; 16:24)

Re: Mariah (73,218) (73,227) by Edward from USA Billy, that woman in the video talks about many things that make sense, but when she starts talking about conspiracy theories, the Illuminati, how they deactivated Mariah on 2013 to activate Ariana Grande, she lost me. I agree with her on the fact that Mariah could've left Tommy have it through her songs. Probably she wouldn't have gone through the hard time she went through when he was sabotaging her. One doesn't need a diabolical organization like the Illuminati to know there are powerful people in this world that could do harm by pulling strings, Tommy did. If the best the Illuminati can come with to replace Mariah is Ariana or replace Whitney with Brandy, I can definitely see they don't have the magical powers to make things happen some believers think they have. So, when people start talking about these conspiracies and human sacrifices, they lose me. Whitney's demise was expected. I was surprised it didn't happen sooner, given her circumstances. I hope I'm dead wrong, but with Mariah, I have this uneasy feeling. I'm more concerned about something happening to Mariah for mixing alcohol with any bipolar meds she could be taking. Who would've thought Michael and Prince were dealing with drug related problems. I wish Mariah health above all, even if she doesn't sing ever again. I rather she's OK, raise her children, and live a long happy life rather than being miserable surrounded by the leeches she's surrounded herself with lately. (Tuesday 28 February 2017; 5:21)

Re: Vocal changes (73,141) (73,146) by Edward from USA I don't think you sound naive at all, I actually agree with you. Leaving Tommy gave Mariah freedom, but with that freedom came the late nights, heavy drinking, weed smoking, and being in the presence of people who smoked. She had control over her team not to smoke around her, but she wouldn't have told Puff Daddy not to, he would've checked her (that's if he smoked). Reading Damizza's book, you can see that Puff Daddy wasn't a puppet, he actually didn't want to work with Mariah at first, he though she was wack, but then changed his mind when he worked with her. Mariah got so immersed in that lifestyle, that she forgot about her instrument along the way. She stated that when she used to smoke she prayed to God to give her voice back, and she gained two octaves once she quit. But that was a Mariah without fame, fortune and the world and all vices at her disposal. Once she started hanging out late at night, drinking heavy stuff and smoking weed, there was not turning back. There was not turning back because unlike her victory over smoking, alcohol seems to be one of the demons she deals with, and always seems to win. She's not stupid, she knows why her voice is effed up, but she can't seem to bring herself to quit. Since I've always thought there are two or more sides to every story, and truth usually lies somewhere in the middle, I think there's some truth to what Morgan said about her. I thought he betrayed her, since those are family matters, but I don't think he made those things up. Eminem while embarrassing himself aiming at embarrassing her stated "Like I been going off on you all this time for no reason, girl you out your alcoholic mind." There was not one episode of MW where she wasn't drinking. I think she really have a problem with alcohol. (Sunday 26 February 2017; 3:57)

What should Mariah do now? (73,127) (73,133) (73,138) by Edward from USA Stacey, isn't it evident? Celine's voice has also changed, but not to the point where she can't sing her own songs anymore. She lips, but when she has to deliver on occasional performances, she gives it her all and delivers. Celine has used her voice twice as much as Mariah. Her first album was released back in 1981 when she was just 14. She's recorded 15 French albums, and 11 English albums. She's toured twice as much, in both languages. It's obvious that taking care of her voice has been a priority throughout her career. At this point, after watching what went on Mariah's World, the lies and pretenses, I think she lost a lot of credibility, and it has made me question whether some of the things she's always complained about through the years were 100% true. Nobody, unless you're Adele or Taylor Swift, is making money from albums. Mariah makes more from a few concerts than what she makes from an album, and I understand that. She's out to make money, but it is sad to see she's not out to make great music anymore. (Saturday 25 February 2017; 21:45)

Re: Lionel Richie postpones tour (73,119) (73,130) by Edward from USA I'm with you on that. She should release "Kick Rocks" or one of those songs she has in her vault. It doesn't necessarily have to be a single, just something to keep us entertained in the meantime. I'm pretty sure many of her unreleased songs are way better than most of the things she's been putting out lately. When "Help Me Make It" was leaked, it was a great surprise. "100%" wasn't a hit, but it was definitely well received. I have a friend who just heard "Almost Home" a week ago for the first time, and he told me he's falling in love with her music all over again. Since most people don't stay or watch the end credits of movies, most people were not exposed to "Almost Home". This time my friend decided to leave the movie playing on until her song started playing at the end. That's to prove that she doesn't really need hits to connect with her audience. She just needs great lyrics and an honest delivery. (Saturday 25 February 2017; 17:42)

Re: What should Mariah do now? (73,123) (73,127) by Edward from USA I also suspect that she had vocal surgery around '97. I personally think that vocal surgery wouldn't do anything for her if she doesn't lay the booze and the weed down. We've come to lower our expectations so much, anything is considered good these days. It's sad, but it is what it is. And the thing is that she gets on stage and she really thinks she's killing it because she goes an octave up here and there or because she hits a whistle note. Everything these days sound choppy, but who am I to complain? If these Dubai performances are great for the fans, that should be it. (Saturday 25 February 2017; 16:31)

Re: Questions for the Webmaster (73,080) (73,085) by Edward from USA Eric, wow. The same sentiment here. I first heard Mariah singing "I Don't Wanna Cry", but I thought it was Whitney Houston. I didn't hear anything else from her up until one day in school. I was bored, put my headphones on while in class, and was listening one of the two stations that played music in the English language in my country back then. Then I heard that voice, the voice of an angel, it was Mariah singing "Open Arms". I was like: Who the hell is that? I spent the next day listening to the same station trying to catch her again, and there she was again, but this time the DJ said her name. I went to the store and got "Daydream". That's how everything started. Every time I listened to that album I was taken into a surreal world. Listening to her was like listening to an angel, I would just close my eyes and let go. I went back to the store to inquire a little bit more about her, and then that's when I realized the woman had already released "Mariah Carey", "Emotions", "MTV Unplugged" and "Music Box", I didn't see Merry Christmas. Out of the four, I got "Music Box", and as I discovered all the past hits, I knew I had found the one I would be fan of for life. After that I purchased the rest of the albums, Merry Christmas being the last one. Those who didn't experienced those golden years won't ever understand it just by listening to her CD's. That's why many of us expect decent and well crafted projects from her. She got us used to it. Sometimes some of us come hard on her, but it is just out of frustration because we know the woman is gifted and can definitely do better. Back then it was about the voice, the songs, the lyrics, and I felt butterflies in my stomach every time a new single or album was on the way. It was a magical era.

Re: Nose (73,072) (73,073) by Edward from USA She definitely had some minor procedure done. Yes, there's contouring, but you can contour but so much. I remember when the sheep went with Mariah's tale as to why her boobs were bigger over night. She candidly explained that her boobs got bigger due to some magical push-up bras she only knew about, lol. Many people here on MCArchives Messageboard back then were burned alive, some disappeared and other were cyber-decapitated for stating it was bullshit. Maybe, just maybe, in the future, if she says her nose has been out for years, the sheep would then put the contour theory to rest. Wait a minute, it could actually be contouring, since Contourella is her manager. Wow, I had an Contour-epiphany. Remember that Mariah's nose looked like that because "Contouring" was invented by the first quarter of 1995. Stella looks like a bat with her contouring though, sorry to those little creatures for the comparison. (Thursday 23 February 2017; 17:39)

Re: Michael Jackson (73,063) (73,066) by Edward from USA Exactly, he was more than a dancer and a vocalist, he was a genius. He was a visonary and a great lyricist. His videos were epic. Besides his voice, people went to see the show, the super production. He was a real showman, just like Madonna and Beyonce are in their concerts. Mariah and Whitney on the other hand relied on their voices, they couldn't dance, but they could sing you out of the stadium with their powerful voices. Once Whitney lost her voice, she didn't have anything to entertain with anymore and people started walking out of her concerts. People go to Mariah's concerts to hear her voice and her songs. There's nothing special about her cheap stage and her dancers, with the exception of her Christmas shows. It's like Sarah Mclaughlin. I love the woman, but she only has her voice. People go to see her on her piano singing with that beautiful voice of hers. She doesn't dance or do anything else. Now imagine if she started faking her piano playing and lipping most of her songs? Total disaster. (Thursday 23 February 2017; 14:58)

Who needs a label? A reality show would do (73,065) by Edward from USA If she really didn't need a record deal, she wouldn't have one, period, but she obviously does. There's a lot that goes on behind to promote artists and their music. Mariah has total creative control of everything she does with her music, and I think that's backfiring somehow. Record labels do not have the big budgets they used to have to promote artists that wouldn't listen or are stuck on stupid with their bridge burning tirades. At the end of the day, Mariah is doing everything she can to be relevant, but great music. There's nothing wrong with a record label focusing on projects and artists who are actually justifying the need of a label. At this point, with or without record deal, it's kind of the same for Mariah. She's not doing anything worth putting money into. The few coins she probably made from "I Don't" wouldn't justify money spent on any type of promotion and events created for the purpose or making things happen for her. I guess there's nobody to blame this time, Mariah seems to be sabotaging herself. If I were L.A., and with her propensity to blame others for the outcome of her bad decisions, I wouldn't want to be seen hanging out with her. He is dealing with business, with artists that are still interested in the Grammys and other award shows. When Mariah and Stella make the comments they make, how do you think her label peers feel about it? Would you go near her cuckoo circle? I don't think so. (Thursday 23 February 2017; 14:43)

Re: Blind item (72,951) (72,956) by Edward from USA Maybe that's just the sentiment in general that most people have about her. She definitely can go out and say and do whatever she wants, she has the right to do that as much as people have the right to talk about her and feel a certain way, at the end of the day she's a celebrity she should be ready for the clap back. Mariah has many sycophants, and many of those are part of her "yass-queen" lambs. They could see her about to jump off a bridge, and they would cheer saying: yass-queen, hit a high note on your way down. Mariah has become a joke, and she isn't the one laughing. (Monday 20 February 2017; 20:27)

The silence of the super-yass-queen lambs (72,905) (72,910) by Edward from USA Marissa, you were spot on. Remember when Mariah was rambling nonsense before she had the nervous breakdown? Yes, that time Cindi Burger had to take the microphone off her hand because she was going Looney Tunes on camera. Well, I think we're witnessing that same type of behavior once again. I'm pretty sure these "yass-queen, let them have it" super lambs wouldn't do what Cindi had the guts to do if they had the chance in a similar situation because whatever the queen does or say should be followed blindly. They would empowered Mariah to keep on bringing negativity her way. The delusion is so rampant that they actually think Mariah doesn't care about fame anymore. Well, evidence of the craziness that has been going on show a woman desperate for attention and relevancy. But oh well, those same lambs would also say that MW was a docu-series and that there should be a part 2. If being a fan means to do all that, I'd rather not be one. I'm glad MCA's messageboard is not run by one of these people, it would've disappeared three months after it was put online. Maybe they should come together and open Mariah Daily again, where everything used to be pink, with unicorns, rainbows and butterflies. (Monday 20 February 2017; 1:31)

Re: The Grammys foiled me (72,825) (72,835) by Edward from USA Well, these things are coming out of Mariah's mouth, so she's the one making it happen. Who effing cares if the Grammy's are boring or predictable, she, as a legend, shouldn't give a damn about it. By acknowledging them, she's just bringing bad PR her way. People won't be saying she dissed the Grammy's, they'll be saying she dissed whoever was there because she's bitter. If she were really that hurt, why didn't she turn down her nominations and wins on 2006? One thing that really bothers me is that whenever Mariah is asked anything anything Adele related, she doesn't even acknowledge her. It's either she didn't hear her album, the song, or she goes off on a tangent. Adele is talented, graceful, sweet, a mega star, and on top of that she adores Mariah. Why can't she effing say something remotely nice about her. It really gets on my last nerve. Who the hell is this woman, how do one connect to her through her music anymore? She gives a good performance and she thinks the gets a bitch pass because of that? I can't, I really can't. (Saturday 18 February 2017; 2:58)

The company you keep (72,806) (72,817) by Edward from USA Mariah is 21 years late to be making those derogatory comments about the Grammys. At this point in her career and with the perception most people have about her, some humbleness and less attitude would do her image and career a great service. I know she's responsible for whatever she does, but she's gotten into this unapologetic mode since Stella came into her life. What she doesn't seem to realize is how that behavior pushes people away from her music. Why complain about the Grammys now and not when you got three back in 2006? Maybe because you got them, that is. She's a very good point of reference when talking about boring performances, so she shouldn't have even uttered those words. If Beyoncé's performance was boring, I don't know what I should call her performances and the cheap production of the stage of her concerts. It seems to be that the cool, down to earth, humble, classy Mariah we all grew to love is definitely gone. I thought she would be refraining from making those types of comments and play nice. If you don't like the Grammys or think they're boring, keep it to yourself, your name is not what it used to be, and burning bridges is not a good idea at this point in your career. (Friday 17 February 2017; 23:55)

Did she? (72,802) by Edward from USA Do you guys know if Mariah returned the ring to Packer yet? I think she should. (Friday 17 February 2017; 18:36)
