About Edward from USA:

Re: Mariah has a hit (72,139) (72,172) by Edward from USA Andrew, you can't just tell people to buy dildos. (Saturday 4 February 2017; 18:31)

Jeezy and Mariah are fire (72,133) by Edward from USA The two times Jeezy has collaborated with Mariah, he's done a great job. His voice is very distinctive, and he knows how to lay some good lyrics. I'm saying this because he did a great job on the remix for #Beautiful. Mariah and Jeezy are definitely fire. Jeezy is one of the few rappers who has brought something to the collabo other than senseless lyrics for the sake of rapping. For those who don't remember, here's the remix.

Re: Article: Mariah Carey previews video for new single I Don't (72,018) (72,022) by Edward from USA Remember that, according to Stella and obviously endorsed by Mariah, they're catering to 12-year old girls. So the poses, and the clothes she's wearing are appropriate for the video. (Friday 3 February 2017; 2:55)

She "don't" and I "don't" either (71,990) by Edward from USA In my opinion, it's definitely better than Infamous, but I'm not impressed at all. If they promote it right, it might actually chart on the R&B charts. At least it is a song she could actually perform live without having to lipsynch. (Thursday 2 February 2017; 17:45)

Re: Do we complain or get her to nbr 1? (71,966) (71,970) by Edward from USA Without the GP out there, it's never going to happened. It's evident her fanbase has shrunk so much we can't even make a dent on the charts. She still has many fans, but not concentrated in a certain area to make a huge impact. If people don't like her music, it's a big wrap. Those days when fans would call radio stations in the United States from different parts of world are long gone. We can buy each one 10 copies, and it wouldn't make a difference. The GP hear good music, and they buy it. It's as simple as that, they don't have to necessarily be fans of a particular artist, it's all about the music. Even though in her case it's clear that it's not only the music she'll have to sell, but also a much more likable persona, something she doesn't seem willing to do. I'll support her by getting a copy of the single from Amazon and watching the video several times if it's worthy of that. If it isn't, I won't torture myself. (Thursday 2 February 2017; 15:40)

Re: I Wish You Well (71,913) (71,920) by Edward from USA I agree with you. The song is so deep that Stella came out crying out of the recording session from such deepness. It was innovative having Stella as a back-ground singer. If you listen closely with headphones on, you could clearly hear Stella's voice, it's a very subtle but distinctive pig-like vocal layered sound. Like a pig that's about to be slaughtered, but by stretching the oink, it sounds like an Alpha woman really in pain after having been dumped. Pure genius. (Wednesday 1 February 2017; 17:43)

James reaction to "I Don't" (71,865) by Edward from USA There's a video of James reaction to the Friday release of "I Don't". I think it's very funny. (Tuesday 31 January 2017; 16:01)

Re: MW episode 8 : Mimi L review (71,832) (71,845) by Edward from USA Cougar love is not about whether the cub could hang or the cougar could pull a dance routine on a pole keeping her joints intact. It's about love. If the cougar brings lots of experience and secret moves, the cub, still inexperienced, brings his stamina helping the cougar feel young and vibrant again. I can assure you that Tanaka will make Mariah walk on high heels without help. The cub usually regenerate the heap bones of the cougar. It's at the end a symbiotic relationship. On a serious note, I don't think this relationship, if real, will last but a few months. I don't see anything wrong with a woman or a man having fun in between relationships, but calling every person you kiss or mess around with a boyfriend or girlfriend is ridiculous to me. She should cougar the hell out of Tanaka and then dismiss him. Just like JLo dismissed Casper after she got her cheek bones back. (Tuesday 31 January 2017; 3:58)

Re: Tommy Mottola (71,829) (71,844) by Edward from USA Luis Miguel didn't cheat on Mariah, he actually wanted to settle down, but Mariah didn't. By the time he met Mariah he had been in the music business successfully for nearly 20 years. Mariah and Luis Miguel looked very much in love, and when they've both been asked about their relationship, their answers have always been nice about each other. Luis Miguel tend to keep his mouth shut when it comes to the women in his relationships. Mariah has always said Luis Miguel is a gentlemen. You don't say that about a man who cheats on you. He had a song written for her in his album, she wrote a song for him in hers. It just didn't work out. These pictures show a couple very much in love. They're both glowing. (Tuesday 31 January 2017; 3:16)

Re: MW episode 8 : Mimi L review (71,817) (71,820) by Edward from USA Don't be a hater. If a man, who is skin and bones, breaks his leg in six places trying to lift the woman he loves, he truly deserves her. I don't know why you guys put too much emphasis on money when it comes to true cougar love. Is Tanaka a boy-toy for Mariah? Obviously he is, but that doesn't make him a bad person. You'll see that when Mariah dumps Tanaka we'll get great songs from the experience. As my dear Edoard from France would say: Mariah sacrifices herself just to have situations to write from. When she broke up with Nick, we got "Cry" and "Camouflage". When she broke up with Packer, she got "I Don't", and when she breaks up with Tanaka, she'll be working on a Japanese song she started writing in the late 90's but never finished.

Re: MW episode 8 : Mimi L review (71,783) (71,803) by Edward from USA In the next season of Mariah's World: Tanaka has another accident but his other leg is affected. Mariah realizes she ain't dating no limping man. Tanaka gets mad and reveals that Mariah only has two pieces of hair left on her head. Stella shows her Alpha power by slapping Takana for messing with her secret love. Mariah brings the rest of her body out of the closet (legs and arms). Stella and Mariah get married. Season 3, Stella and Mariah get pregnant in vitro and both end up with triplets. Since Mariah can't drink during this time, her voice improves and we get a new album called "She got me feeling emotions". Show gets cancelled when E. can't provide an independent camera for each of the six new babies. (Monday 30 January 2017; 16:48)

Re: Celine Dion on The Voice (71,755) (71,756) by Edward from USA So sad to say, but that Mariah was gone the minute she started believing her own hype. I really thought Mariah's demeanor would remain humble and relatable. Seeing Celine being so gracious, grounded, complimentary, and just not worrying about left and right angles, was refreshing. Same thing I get from Adele. Ariana's going down Mariah's path. (Sunday 29 January 2017; 16:44)

The name of the song (71,734) by Edward from USA According to TMZ the new song is called "The Ring is Mine (Never Gonna Give it Up)". (Saturday 28 January 2017; 22:51)

Re: Triumphanousinitippet (71,715) (71,724) by Edward from USA Are you implying that Jesus, hanging off the cross, would've told his mother to put him out of his misery, had she sung a "soothing" snippet of Mariah's new song to him? First Oprah claiming stigmata when she cut herself by accident with a paperclip, and now this. I can't. (Saturday 28 January 2017; 19:51)

Re: Song snippet (71,716) (71,720) by Edward from USA RibbonC, I definitely agree with you. It's time for Mariah to let other people write some great songs for her. It doesn't have to be a whole album, but at least ten or twelve songs. Mariah could write and produce the other two or three however she wants. (Saturday 28 January 2017; 19:37)

First listen experience (71,719) by Edward from USA I'll wait patiently for the song to emerge as a whole. Snippets can definitely ruin the "first listen" experience. If snippets are to songs what trailers are to movies, I don't understand why snippets don't usually capture the real feel of the music they represent, especially if the main purpose is to draw attention to the song itself.

Re: Missy Elliott (71,687) (71,692) by Edward from USA Correction, it is a docu-series. (Saturday 28 January 2017; 2:21)

Re: Everyone asking: why open for Lionel? (71,651) (71,655) by Edward from USA Mimi L., don't be surprised if on his next post he's asking the following question to someone: "If you're from Africa, why are you white?" (Thursday 26 January 2017; 21:28)

Re: Everyone asking: why open for Lionel? (71,632) (71,639) by Edward from USA Contourella stated that her job was to create means of revenue for Mariah. She obviously doesn't care whether it would be good for her brand or not, as long as the coins keep rolling in, she and Mariah are OK with it. I don't think it is a bad idea for Mariah to tour with Lionel Richie, the man is a legend on his own right. I just think the show should be promoted as two stars coming together to bring the house down, with equal stage time. There's a reason it is called an "opening act", it's not technically their concert. Opening acts don't usually have the responsibility of the tour falling on their shoulders. They show in, do their part, and go home. Mariah can just take it easy by singing about 8 songs. So, in the end she's making coins without having to work as much as if she were the only act. I don't think it's degrading, I think it is actually a great move. They would have a full house guaranteed since fans would be flowing from both sides. It would also be a great way to promote her new single, if we could call it that way. (Thursday 26 January 2017; 7:13)

I think you're a [censored] (71,587) (71,593) by Edward from USA Aren't you being a little bit too harsh on Mariah and her reality show? You should give the woman some credit for having the first TV show where the audience is educated on how to roll a (weed) joint. According to Stella and Mariah, this show is mostly for her 12-old hardcore fans, not us, so it's important for people to learn. I think you're very unfair on a reality show that still has one last episode left for everything to make sense. You should judge the show as a whole, not by 7 mere episodes out of 8. Haven't you ever watched "Game of Thrones" where everything makes sense at the end? As for Mariah being hooked up on booze, at least she does it with class, one glass at a time, no spills. I'm sorry, but you're not a really lamb, you're more like a [censored]. (Wednesday 25 January 2017; 3:33)

Re: I believe Mariah's World is a great idea (71,569) (71,571) by Edward from USA So, in an 8-episode Reality TV show people would have to wait until episode 8 for things to make sense? Stella, you're really trying it. Let's see how they, at the end, explain how Molly is just an actress they hired as part of their scripted drama. Well, it'll all make sense at the end.

Re: I've been under a rock (71,515) (71,516) by Edward from USA Vítor Henrique, I was just messing with "Ribbon with a bow on it" in regard to his answer to your post. As you could see by his answer to me, he got that. And I expected that response, it was my intention to get a reaction just for fun. (Monday 23 January 2017; 2:01)

Re: MW ratings 1/15/17 (71,497) (71,499) by Edward from USA Ribbon, those are impressive ratings. MW scored higher than "Hoarders" and "The Young Pope", but way lower than "The Real Housewives of Atlanta". I really think Contourella should come up with her own version of "Honey Boo Boo". A good title for a show with Contourella as the main character could be "Leechers" or maybe "I Love You Meme". (Saturday 21 January 2017; 2:27)

Re: I've been under a rock (71,496) (71,498) by Edward from USA Is that what it means? I suddenly had an epiphany. Thank you Ribbon, it was driving my crazy. (Saturday 21 January 2017; 2:11)

Re: Ty, Charm-girl (71,470) (71,471) by Edward from USA Licia, the "problem" with Charmbracelet was that, after Glitter, people were expecting her to deliver a spectacular album with vocals that could remind people she still had "The Voice". Instead we got an album sung almost in its entirety with her whisper register. Back then, Mariah's fan-base was a force to be reckoned with, so most of us didn't like the overuse of the whisper register. Even though I've always thought her whisper register is beautiful in the right doses, after listening to a few of the songs, Mariah started sounding to me as if she had a severe case of constipation, and I eventually lost interest in the album. The album is introspective a la "Butterfly", but no matter how hard Mariah tried to connect the feel of the two albums, the excessive whisper sealed its fate. The album grew on me through the years. Some of my friends would ask me: "Edward, why is Charmbracelet so underrated? We love it." And these were casual fans. That prompted me to give the album another chance, and my perception of opinion changed as I focused not only on the way she sung the songs, but on the lyrics too. As of today, I would take Charmbracelet over "Memoirs" and "MIAM" any day. That might change tomorrow though. Lol. (Friday 20 January 2017; 2:43)
