About Edward from USA:

Re: Michael Jackson cover (65,804) (65,809) by Edward from USA "Will You Be There", "You're Not Alone", in duet with Michael "I Just Can't Stop Loving You". She shouldn't ever touch "Gotta Be There". Chaka Khan's took that song and made sure whoever came after her wouldn't stand a chance. Just the same way Mariah took "O Holy Night" and made it hers. Whitney Houston, Christina Aguilera, and Celine Dion tried it, but they never matched Mariah's version. (Friday 2 September 2016; 2:38)

Re: C'mon people (65,718) (65,719) by Edward from USA Edouard, I do really think you must be on crack not to see what's going here. It's not only the desperate skimpy outfits, but the image she projects with her obsessive photo-shopping to make her look a certain way we all know it's not true, it's evident and obvious. And please do not compare the sexy Mariah from the Butterfly era to the this "look at me I'm sexy, don't you really see, with my humps, my loverly lady bums" trash. It's cheapening her. She doesn't need that. A fan is supposed to be supportive, but not ridiculously go with the flow and justify every ridiculous thing his/her idol might do. When Mariah releases some great music and her image is so damaged people won't give two shits about her, I'm pretty sure you'll have J.D. to blame. I'm sorry everybody, but I really had to let this one out of my chest. (Tuesday 30 August 2016; 1:53)

So fake (65,710) by Edward from USA In the name of all that's holy, who the hell allowed that horrible photo-shopped picture to be posted on her instagram? Everybody knows Mariah doesn't have a booty like that, and besides, whoever photoshopped it, did a horrible job. At least get a professional. That ass look so unnatural to me, but it seems to be people in the her bubble will say yes to anything regardless of the damage it could cost. I never thought Mariah would pull a Minaj with her fake ass. (Monday 29 August 2016; 19:46)

Re: M upset? (65,688) (65,692) by Edward from USA Licia, completely agree with you. When it comes her sister Alison, she doesn't seem to do anything to be worthy of the help that could be given to her. I have a friend who has a brother who is a doctor and lost everything because of Meth, and nobody could help him until he decided he wanted to change, and one day he came knocking, got on a program, and he's clean now for 5 years and back with his family that never stopped loving him, but a family that refused to enable him. They tried to get him him into programs against his will, and he always dropped or walked out in the middle of the night. Alison keeps doing the same thing over and over. I don't judge her because everybody has their demons they deal with, but she shouldn't expect support when she's behaving the way she does, and for such a long time. (Monday 29 August 2016; 1:01)

Empire and the big song (65,690) by Edward from USA Judging by the preview, Mariah will be playing Mariah with a different name on Empire. What makes me excited and concerned at the same time is the "Big Song" she's helping Jussie Smollett write and produce. Even though Empire is not as popular as it used to be, many people still watch it so they've kept it on the air. Believe me they would've pulled the plugged had the show been doing bad. So, it's time for Mariah to redeem herself for "Rush-Finity". I'm still sad she didn't make good use of Justin Bieber popularity. (Monday 29 August 2016; 0:49)

Meet and not greet (65,684) by Edward from USA I can understand if Mariah cancels a show because she's sick or has an urgent family situation. She's human, and it could happen to any of us. I don't understand though how she can perform and not say hi and take a picture with maybe no more than 20 people. Any of us calling out when we're sick is different from Mariah cancelling a "Meet and Greet" because many of those who purchased those expensive tickets probably traveled internationally for that specific event, and it's not like they could easily cancel or re-book a flight to have the chance again to meet her. I've been there and you're left feeling disappointed. People don't really worry much about whether they would get a refund, but the fact they've planned, taken vacations, gotten nannies and stuff to go to her show. If those who couldn't meet her briefly lived nearby, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't complain that much. But then again, that's life, and sh*t happens. (Monday 29 August 2016; 0:08)

Dreaming of you - drifting (65,498) by Edward from USA If Mariah is down with Nick getting ready to get their freaks on, and all of a sudden you hear "and then a hero comes along" and on top of that "with the strength to carry on". I'm sorry Mariah but that sound like a threesome to me. Nick must've felt very uncomfortable looking at this woman longing for "Hero" with high notes and all when he was already there sweating. It's evident that Nick has diarrhea of the mouth, but it's not less true that Mariah is freaky in bed. I hope for the sake of fans that "Right to Dream" wasn't played after the fact. (Sunday 21 August 2016; 15:27)

Almost Home - love making (65,489) by Edward from USA I would've envisioned Mariah making love to "Almost Home", the title is more lyrically appropriate. "And then a hero comes along" would be kind of creepy. "I'm almost there, almost home" would be perfect for that. Another song that would definitely go with her love making would be: "River Deep, Mountains very High". (Sunday 21 August 2016; 2:19)

Best eras - in memoriam (65,413) by Edward from USA Vocally: 1990-1995 During this era Mariah's voice was effortless, there wasn't any straining or struggle. It was perfect. Not only could she sing high, low and between, but her command of the whistle register was unparalleled. Little things she did to adorn some of her songs were out of this world ("Music Box" at 3:14, "Underneath The Stars" at 1:42). To me it was like listening the voice of an angel. Her voice was like butter and her fluidly was impeccable. Visually: 1997 During this era Mariah's freedom was evident, and she was sexy without trying too hard. She penned some of her most introspective and beautiful songs ("Butterfly", "Close My Eyes", "Outside"). She still had it, but the butter in hear voice had left the building. 2005 This era proved that when Mariah has a great team, and she allows input and take some direction things can turn out right. This was a combination of Mariah's determination, good writing, good singing with less whispering, and great management. The music alone wouldn't have gotten this result.

Nice picture (65,316) by Edward from USA I was reading an article about Scientology, and found this picture of Mariah and her sisters, and two other guys. (Tuesday 16 August 2016; 1:19)

Re: Me I Am Mariah (65,296) (65,305) by Edward from USA Mimi L., you're crazy, lol. Tony Bennett rapping on Fantasy? I can't stop laughing. (Monday 15 August 2016; 21:37)

Re: Me I Am Mariah (65,284) (65,287) by Edward from USA Unless Tony Bennett was rapping on "Honey" and I hadn't noticed, their duet is called "When Do The Bells Ring For Me, Ring For Me". (Monday 15 August 2016; 13:40)

Insider info (65,201) by Edward from USA According to friend who supposedly has some first hand information, the title of Mariah Carey's new single is "Who Let The Girls Out" ft. Dolly Parton. The remix is called "Hanging... There" ft. Charo. I don't know if it's true, but I kind of believe it. I just hope for quality. (Saturday 13 August 2016; 3:55)

Re: Company (65,120) (65,126) by Edward from USA Mimi L., it doesn't surprise me the fact that Mariah might have an extra yacht for her and her posse. She has a manager that seems to only manage her, and Mariah seems to like that type of attention, since you wouldn't see Cindi Berger or Benny Medina playing into something like that, she's paying for her exclusiveness. Also remember that Stella Bulochnikov comes with her own tribe too. With Mariah having all these people around, I don't know when she's truly able to have some intimate time with her boyfriend. And when I say intimate, I don't mean sex, that you can't have anytime and about behind any closed door, I'm talking about quality time when the kids are sleep and there's only them. (Wednesday 10 August 2016; 17:18)

Re: Pettiness: in reverse (65,077) (65,093) by Edward from USA I understand your point. But Mariah has a record deal with a label whose income could be affected by the way she manages her brand. They're investing in her, and she's expected to help created the environment in which both could come out with coins in their pockets. Mariah hasn't neither retired nor gone her own way, so for all of us fans, we expect good music. The thing is that when people don't like you they're not buying your music, so when she flops all the way to the bottom, fans shouldn't go blaming anyone. Since Mariah wants to do Mariah, she should be responsible for whatever happens, it would only be fair. The Emancipation of Mimi was successful not only for the music, but because they took steps for people to like her again. I don't think you can have it both ways. (Tuesday 9 August 2016; 1:39)

Re: Nicki Minaj (65,085) (65,089) by Edward from USA Completely agree with you Mimi L. At this point in her career and life, Mariah shouldn't entertain any of this questions, and the only way she could do that is putting them in her "Do not ask" list. When the "I don't know her" drama resurfaced after more than a decade, she should've squashed it right then and there. A woman with such an impressive career and accomplishments like Mariah shouldn't be that insecure. They probably told her she would be the only female judge, but then they changed their mind, so what? Had she had any legal recourse, she would've used it, but obviously it wasn't a clause in her contract. It's been 3 years since Idol, 15 year since Glitter, I think we could all agree that it is time to move on. (Tuesday 9 August 2016; 1:16)

Re: Pettiness: in reverse (65,084) (65,088) by Edward from USA You seem to be the ridiculous one. Mariah doesn't go looking for stuff, but she definitely is in control of what comes out of her 46-y/o mouth. When they ask her any question, they interviewer doesn't put words in her mouth. She also has the power to put certain topics in her "Do not ask" list, just like every artist does. Look for Ariana latest interviews and see if there's any question about Mariah. So don't come here throwing three lines and calling me and the people who agreed with me ridiculous because that says more about you than what it says about me. I'm not asking for Mariah to do anything, I'm just stating my opinion, but the writing is on the wall, and unless you take of your shades, you won't see it. To be a lamb, you don't necessary have to be a blind one. So loosen your push-up bra, maybe they're not letting you think clearly. (Tuesday 9 August 2016; 1:01)

Re: Pettiness: in reverse (65,069) (65,070) by Edward from USA Eric, I couldn't agree more. As I said before, she's going to have a rude awaking if she doesn't do something to come across in a way people could relate to her or at least to her music. She says her fans are important to her, but when most of us that have been supporting her for ever don't feel that, it should be an indication that her reality is definitely distorted whether it is on purpose or not. (Monday 8 August 2016; 20:29)

Pettiness: in reverse (65,064) by Edward from USA While many look for a thousand ways to justify Mariah's pettiness/cattiness and complains about what she went through while having a regular job that paid her what most of us won't make in our lifetimes for just sitting pretty and expressing her views, a job that if we're honest she didn't do that well, I don't understand the use complaining and whining about it, it is ridiculous, and it says more about her than them when everybody seems to have moved on. Especially when Mariah had always taken the classy "I'm not addressing you" attitude back when she was really popular. Mariah always kept things classy. Oddly, as she gets older, her attitude becomes more juvenile. I just hope there's something left when her bubble bursts because this Mariah, that in my opinion can't hold a candle to 90's Mariah, and not talking about the voice here, seems to be mentally aging backwards. I remember when fans believed and defended with teeth and nails the story about the magical push-up bras female fans kept on looking to achieve her size but never found. Mariah one day has normal boobs and all of a sudden she found some magical push-up bras that made her breast 10 times bigger. Just because Mariah said it or did it doesn't mean it is ok. You took your 18 million and could've done something about it if you wanted to, but you didn't, then shut the f**k up and go on. You're supposed to be a legend not a trashy reality TV star. If somebody is advising her that this type of attitude is what's going to give her a monumental comeback, she'd better think twice. People who know her on a personal level might like her, but most people hate this persona she portrays to the General Population. You're not Marilyn Monroe, these are not the 50's, wake up while you still can. Then we'll be sitting here looking for a producer to blame, a manager to crucify or a record label to demonize when her next project flops. And this is not about the quality of her music, she could have a wonderful album, but these days attitude/relatability and perception is very important. Sorry for the rant. (Monday 8 August 2016; 17:08)

The Illuminati, really? (64,723) by Edward from USA If we try to find shit on everything, we'll find that shit even if we have to make it all up to validate our assumptions. I'm pretty sure if Mariah were in the set of "Game of Thrones", the Illuminati believers be like: "Wow, it was true, look at the dragons, they look so demonic. Look at the settings, oh, did you did see how they chopped that man's head off, that must've been a sacrifice." I personally think it is ridiculous. The Illuminati supposedly has this huge power and control over the music industry that artists sell themselves to achieve success, well, I don't know what went wrong with Whitney. The Illuminati believers say, oh, Whitney was sacrificed so that Brandy could take her place, well, where's the success that Brandy has achieved? If Rihanna is so involved in the Illuminati, why did she have to basically go back to the drawing board when the concept she had for her album wasn't working out as she expected with her first three singles. Well, it seems to be the Illuminati people don't have as much power as some seem to think. Sometimes I laugh because I'm pretty sure people in the music industry play with these imagery on purpose. While some conspiracy theorist have their fix, they laugh all the way to the bank. If the Illuminati is real, and Mariah is in it, she should be having a huge comeback with like 5 #1's before they sacrifice her for Stella's daughter to take her place. Wait a minute, could the Illuminati give Stella's daughter some Kardashian type of talent, well, they don't even seem to have that power, maybe Selena Gomez will take her place. My cell rung three times, the Illuminati is here to get me. (Wednesday 27 July 2016; 17:42)

Re: Record over 40's (64,663) (64,667) by Edward from USA Of course Mariah could hit the charts again, and possibly a #1, but she needs a banger, not a half-cooked mess like "Infinity". She needs to stop being stubborn and have some variety in her music, R&B is ok, but I don't think it will give her a hit right now. I really don't want to hear about her divorce on her New Record, MIAMTEC while decent was depressing enough for me. Mariah also needs to use those hot names to her advantage, not just rappers that people don't even know. Collaborate, get your name out there, and keep on putting out good music. (Tuesday 26 July 2016; 14:17)

Happy to be part of the MCArchives crazy family (64,664) by Edward from USA May, thank you very much for your kind words. I appreciate your posts too. Randy, I always relate to your frustrations. Daydream and Music Box are like sugar to my soul. Mariah's delivery was truly effortless, buttery, soothing, and when going personal, she was the best. for me the song "Music Box" is a work of art. Unlike Aretha, Patti, Ms. Ross and many others who weren't as popular when the Divine Trinity was hot, Mariah has managed to keep a certain level of relevancy, but I don't think she's used it to her advantage. Cher came out of the blue and hit hard with Believe, but the whole album with songs "Run Away", "Strong Enough", "Dov'e L'Amore" were great, and I didn't even know Cher by then. Mariah, just like Cher, needs a great album with a different concept and formula. She used to be an innovator and that's why she made it out of the 90's and into the new millennium still banging. I would hate for her to put a new album out just to realize that she had neglected us to much that it turns into another MIAMTEC fiasco, that's the rude awakening she doesn't really have time for. I really want to be excited about Mariah's music again. Mariah's actitude when she was sexy but humble allowed us to relate to her and believe her music. If she came out with songs like "Making Happen", "Can't Take That Away" or "Hero" with that over the top "look at the rock on my finger" attitude, I don't think anybody would believe it or relate to it.

Andrew, she's a she (64,650) by Edward from USA Andrew, Mimi L. is a beautiful young lady. She has teased us with her photo a couple of times, but then took it down. So, your confusion has been lifted. Our Web-ality could be called, just because of the drama and stuff: "The Real Lambs of MCArchives". Andrew, no, you're not going to the be the white version of Nene Leakes, lol. Once again I want to say a thousand Thank You's to Eric for keeping this website up, and for dealing with all of us. I know it could be frustrating at times, since you have to read though all the madness, and usually remain neutral. You are a devoted fan, and I appreciate when you interact with us from time to time. Mariah Daily went down because it relinquished its control to Mariah's team. If it wasn't confirmed by Mariah's team or something positive, they didn't post it. And that's why people stop losing interest in it. It was once a great website. I do believe in balance, and when there's not balance or some sort of opposition, things usually turn into a distributorship and boring. I just hope that Mariah wakes up in time and realizes that she doesn't really have that many fans left, and that she's about to face a rude awaking if she doesn't do something to reconnect with what's left. (Tuesday 26 July 2016; 0:53)

The weird weight loss (64,477) by Edward from USA To me it's very weird that Mariah has apparently lost weight, yet she seems so out of shape. Her skin and breasts look kind of soggy, and that white dress looks hideous to me. Whatever she did to her face, she shouldn't have. She didn't need it. With those fillers I doubt her face would slim down as we've been expecting it to. (Wednesday 20 July 2016; 19:24)

Re: When is enough really enough? (64,205) (64,211) by Edward from USA MusicfanJ, I wish Mariah and her children the best. I'm not mad or anything. I still have her music to listen to, especially her catalog from the 90's since it was more honest and deeper to me. I think that when Mariah wrote her lyrics by herself or maybe with somebody else, her music had much more substance. When she started collaborating with four or more people to write a song things kind of changed. Mariah has the right to act the way she wants, but I don't have to like it or support it. I will support a good song/album though. I know she got it in her whether she still believes it or not. I won't spend my money on garbage like "Infinity' anymore. I know it is difficult to separate Mariah the person from her music, but I have chosen to do so. I do believe that we get what we keep supporting. As I say, I'll support good music, great lyrics, and decent videos. The rest I'll leave it to those who would buy and support anything she puts out even if the quality is not good at all. I'm still a fan, not a blind one though. (Tuesday 12 July 2016; 0:27)
