About Blake from Italy: I was there at the very beginning.

Maybe Dutch is your first language? (42,186) by Blake from Italy No need to post this response but just for your edification, I reviewed the post which you modified "censored" and nowhere did I call her "insane". That is your word, certainly not mine. You must have very little regard for your members if you feel so compelled to mislead them like that. My post was quite reasonable and in no way offensive. Why don't you man up and post it, let your members decide. [Webmaster: Here are the parts of Blake's original messages that I've censored: "Mariah when she's sober, sane, and present can out sing anyone on the radio. If Mariah chooses to not get sober and make responsible lifestyle choices like taking care of the instrument which got her to where she is, then she should just retire and raise her children in a healthy environment. Hopefully Mariah will quietly retire and not torture us with more tasteless selfies and bad music since most of us would rather remember her for the legendary talent we enjoyed and celebrated in the 90s." If you write "Mariah when she's sober, sane", you imply that she's sometimes drunk and insane. And which fan hopes that Mariah will "quietly retire and not torture us with more tasteless selfies and bad music"?] (Tuesday 18 March 2014; 13:37)

Censorship (42,181) by Blake from Italy I woke up laughing when I saw my post has been censored. It was tame compared to much of what has been posted here and certainly no profanity. It was simply objective, it occurs to me that often times the title "lamb" is interchange-able with "sheep". Does it occur to you that it looks really weak to have censorship on that level here? Imagine if CNN did that (overtly). What are you afraid of? No need to post a censored version or any version of this e-mail. Have a nice day. (Tuesday 18 March 2014; 9:29)

Ariana (42,154) by Blake from Italy While I agree with many of the negative comments I have read on this site like how the [censored] rather than focusing on displaying the gift/talent which got her where she is, uninspired hookless singles, lack of or poor promotion, general disinterest in giving anything back to her fans other than empty promises of an album that is four years over due, and [censored] from a mother of two, I must say in Mariah's defense that you can't even begin to compare Ariana with Mariah. Mariah crushes Ariana on every level. You can not compare Mariah's musicianship to Ariana's because they are not on the same planet. Mariah [censored] can out sing anyone on the radio period. Mariah's biggest mistake has been to continue singing after she got released from Virgin. If Mariah chooses to [censored] like taking care of the instrument which got her to where she is, then she should just retire and raise her children in a healthy environment. But please stop making absurd comparisons between she and these mediocre artists it's just plain ridiculous. [censored] (Sunday 16 March 2014; 16:42)
