About Shezz from Pk: L4L

Andrew/ Mimi L. (105,030) by Shezz from Pk Mimi L. your situation with Andrew was getting uncomfortable for us to read through. I read what all you lovely people have to say daily and rarely post but I wanted to say that you are one of the nicest people here and I am so happy that you stood your ground to his incessant bullying and biggotry which eventually led to his self combustion as it has before. It is so good to have you posting regularly again. The insider/prediction account that you were talking about I think is Nostradamus Insider. They have been spot on about all other artists. I think Mariah possibly could have had a change of plans midway through her project last year which is what led them to be wrong. They claim MC16 as it was last year was scrapped and re-done. She has been maintaining her fitness during and post the holidays which means she might be gearing up for something soon. (Sunday 21 January 2024; 04:43) this is a reply to message 105,027

Andrew (105,027) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Stacey you clearly are a strong soul and wise. I admire your resilience, however I do understand what everyone is talking about when they say they get affected. Not everyone has the same strength and a lot of us have been straight up bullied by him, called names, all for having a passion for Mariah's music. While I let most things slide sometimes a few things are triggering. Were all adults here (some may not behave like it lol) but when people are out here calling you a c u next Tuesday, and lord knows what else Eric had to censor it does trickle into your personal life. There could be other things people are dealing with and the last thing they need to be is bullied on a message board and that's why easier to just take breaks and come back hoping for the best.

Jazzriah - Nevertheless (I'm in love with you) (104,853) by Shezz from Pk How come nobody's commenting on this beautiful jazz cover she just performed? The video was from too far so I couldn't really tell but sounded like it was pre-recorded which I'm not mad at at all because it suited her current voice really well and got me excited for what is to come - hopefully she'll have a couple of jazz numbers. I was looking for the recent concert video of this song and found a Qatar concert video for it as well. Happy New Year everybody - may we get MC16 soon and may it be everything we've wanted and more.

Best Love Takes Time performance (104,630) by Shezz from Pk Also, she does the "blind-ahhh" like "treated me kind-ahhh" that you love so much Andrew. I miss the way she used to hang her head back whenever she ended a performance. Happy holidays everybody and nice to see you posting again Mimi L. Stay.

Best Love Takes Time performance (104,624) by Andrew from the UK The last "I *just* can't escape this pain *so* deep inside because love takes ti-yi-yi-yi-ime" is the greatest vocal arrangement of this song. I wish it were on the actual record. (Saturday 23 December 2023; 00:41)

Rockin' Around #1 (104,416) by Shezz from Pk Robert Anthony you called this weeks ago. There still are a few more weeks for her to get to number 1, I hope she gets one week atleast. Though you said you thought she won't hit number 1 this year. Maybe she'll hit number 1 on the chart for the first week of 2024 which will keep her streak going. I remember it was a really tight race last year as well and RATCT was also number 1 on Spotify last year but more towards the end. I don't think any amount of promotion at this point will make people stream or buy this song more than they already do. I don't think Mariah has anything left to accomplish with AIWFC - most of us were hoping it would help her get her longest running number 1 title back. It still can, might just take longer now. I think some people are generally getting a little tired of AIWFC (as per comments seen online). Heck even I tend to skip it on my Christmas playlist now sometimes - but whenever it does come on it still sounds pretty darn good I'll admit. Lets celebrate her reaching number 1 on the global Billboard and Spotify charts and looking great in the People shoot. She says she has enough songs for an album now needs to record some of them so maybe a new album in spring. Also, I read online that Butterfly Lounge is Mariah's foray into Jazz. Lets hope that sees the light of day soon. (Tuesday 5 December 2023; 02:39) this is a reply to message 104,404

Rockin' Around #1 (104,404) by Robert-Anthony from United States I just cant believe this has happened. However, we saw it coming this past weekend. (Monday 4 December 2023; 23:04)

Never sung in her life (104,167) by Shezz from Pk Yes she has newly recorded vocals for some of the songs she was singing live previously including [Joy to the world] and [All I want for Christmas] intros. Now that a handful of shows are done you can see they're identically phrased and sung. Funny thing is that whenever she is actually singing live she sounds pretty good so I don't know why she needed to but what are you gonna do? It is what it is. People are really enjoying her shows and can't really tell or don't really care. I feel it's akin to people believing in Santa Claus. It makes people happy - let them. Why must we keep pointing things out and ruining it for the ones who enjoy it? (Thursday 23 November 2023; 03:36) this is a reply to message 104,163

Never sung in her life (104,163) by Bill from the UK She's a singer Matty, so she should sing. It's not hard. (Wednesday 22 November 2023; 08:12)

Cut her some slack (104,125) by Shezz from Pk You'd be stiff too if you just defrosted after 10 months. She's singing better than she did last year and earlier this year whenever she's not lipping. And she's finally not making that awkward face when she is lipping. She's looking good, she's even helping the staff mop and making up impromptu songs again. In the photo montage clip that ET posted from the first show I noticed Bryan was in one of the Christmas dinner pictures. If they've broken up she wouldn't know him anymore. This is the first tour in ages he's not there with her by her side for whatever reason. She obviously misses him terribly and is trying to be as happy on stage as she can right now. Her second show was already an improvement plus the general audience/public are loving it. One thing I will say is that the set design isn't helping Mariah much this year. Does not seem as elaborate and kitsch as it has been the previous years, seems a little bare and cold. (Sunday 19 November 2023; 16:59)

Merry Christmas to you too (103,884) by Shezz from Pk Happy happy birthday Robert Anthony. Express yourself. (No pun intended.) (Thursday 26 October 2023; 04:02) this is a reply to message 103,879

Merry Christmas to you too (103,879) by Robert-Anthony from United States I just had to express my thoughts today and plus it's my birthday. 29 years old again this year. At this point, I would take any project being released. (Wednesday 25 October 2023; 22:56)

Tis the season for something... (103,780) by Shezz from Pk Mariah has a Spotify taping with fans in LA in early November. She is also rumored to make a big announcement before her Christmas tour starts and have a big collaboration coming up. Could the fabled "Themed Album" be another Christmas album? Whereas a third Christmas album would be crazy even for Mariah, it also could be her safest album venture. Mariah is smart and knows her albums don't sell anymore but she also knows that she holds special magical powers during the holiday season. It's a long shot but maybe she's recorded another holiday album with a lot of collaborations? Either way - something is a'brewing. (Tuesday 17 October 2023; 15:25)

Taking care of herself (103,464) by Shezz from Pk Totally loving this MB30 era and a happier looking MC. Her instagram pics were beautiful. Is it just me or does she tend to dress less provocatively each time she loses weight and gets fitter? It's not that the clothes fit her better, her choice of fashion changes. The "girls" are no longer front and center. The E=MC2 era like Andrew mentioned was one of her best. She was the fittest she had ever been. She could have shown off her body much more than she did if she wanted to. I remember her regularly being layered in chic short jackets. The clothes were fitting, revealing her toned figure but the girls were hardly in focus. Each time she gains some weight the girls pop out (pun not intended) - I'm assuming they make her feel more attractive? (Wednesday 13 September 2023; 05:00) this is a reply to message 103,463

Taking care of herself (103,463) by Tevin from USA I just saw her homage to Dreamlover post. Mariah looks stunning. I love the laid back natural look. Mariah if you're reading this board, please keep this look. (Wednesday 13 September 2023; 00:55)

Workin Hard x My Prayer x All I Live For x Hero 09 (103,407) by Shezz from Pk I love all these new songs. My favourite keeps changing every day. My Prayer mesmerizes me each time I hear it - yes it sounds a little dated. Or rather nostalgic and I love that it transports me to another time. Workin’ Hard grew on me in a few listens and I love that it got a remix treatment as well in the same release. All I Live For extended version is great but gets slightly less listens from me than the others because its novelty is slightly less in comparison I suppose. And just like the rest, I was ready to hate Hero 2009 but was pleasantly surprised by it. Most of all what I loved the most about MB30 was how it got everyone here in such a positive, happy, “ I love Mariah” mood again. Mimi L needs to un retire and chime in now. I hope the love that Mariah is getting for this influences her future creative endeavors. (Sunday 10 September 2023; 05:09) this is a reply to message 103,398

Workin Hard x My Prayer x All I Live For x Hero 09 (103,398) by BFF from United States Yes, I agree. "Without You" deserved to be on the final track listing over "My Prayer." The way she sings the line "You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows" gets me every time. My only complaint about "Without You" is that it was massive internationally but only went to #3 in the United States. It really should have been a moment akin to Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You". The way she sings it eclipses the Harry Nilsson version and the Badfinger original. (Saturday 9 September 2023; 21:53)

Music Box vs. My Prayer (103,299) by Shezz from Pk Maybe this is the song the Clark sisters worked on. According to one fan site she used a full orchestra to rerecord an unreleased song. Rest easy Bill, I don't think she's rerecorded the entire Music box album - just unreleased/unfinished song or 2. Friday is too far away after that teaser she released. Sounds like her current voice? (Monday 4 September 2023; 04:46) this is a reply to message 103,294

Music Box vs. My Prayer (103,294) by Robert-Anthony from United States I have always wondered if Music Box started out as as a gospel song but evolved into what we have today. Listening to Music Box, MC makes you think she is talking to God in one verse and in another verse is to talking her lover. The use of the word "thee" makes me think Music Box was a gospel song before MC changed the lyrics to make it more secular with the use of the words "sweet", "tenderly", and "baby". Therefore, I am wondering did My Prayer evolve out of Music Box to become the gospel song MC wanted. I think that it is safe to assume that My Prayer is a gospel song. I hope The Price sisters and Melonie Daniels took it to church. (Sunday 3 September 2023; 16:59)

Music Box 30th anniversary revealed (103,273) by Shezz from Pk On Twitter she teased that there might be more than one new song. Ughh. Apparently she has also recently registered "Dreamlover - non sample version", has anybody else seen that? Excited for September 8th. (Friday 1 September 2023; 04:15) this is a reply to message 103,270

Music Box 30th anniversary revealed (103,270) by Bill from the UK I am so excited for this news. And wow, a new song from the recording sessions, I can't wait to hear it. And finally, to have the Thanksgiving concert on audio at last. Music Box was my first Mariah album and still to this day remains one of my favourites. It is a beautiful album, thank you Mariah for this gift. (Thursday 31 August 2023; 23:58)

MC's impending unwanted chart record (101,626) by Shezz from Pk If all goes as it should and AIWFCIY tops the charts again this year, MC will take over from Cher as the oldest female to score a number 1 on the Billboard hot 100. A record she will no doubt refuse to acknowledge. In other news, Jennifer Hudson says she has something planned with Mariah for Christmas. I think she might guest on the show that is to be broadcasted. I hope everyone's doing well. (Friday 11 November 2022; 07:13)

Re: Global Citizen (101,303) (101,305) by Shezz from Pk There's footage of her rehearsing Fantasy (BER), Obsessed, Honey, Heartbreaker remix and closing with Hero at Central Park today. (Saturday 24 September 2022; 03:05)

Re: Little Mermaid - Halle Bailey (101,284) (101,286) by Shezz from Pk Rumour is that the theme is either Gospel or duets. Remember when talking about it with Rolling Stone she said that people have been asking her "to do this for a long time". I highly doubt people have been asking her to do a Little Mermaid soundtrack for a long time. (Wednesday 21 September 2022; 14:59)

Grunge album (101,285) by Shezz from Pk After the Rolling Stone interview (which was a really good one after a while) I've come across atleast 4-5 major publication's articles about MC releasing her Grunge album soon (which in MC world could still mean 2024). I wonder if MC's team has arranged those or if they just picked up on what she said in the Rolling Stone interview. The other artist that she has talked about collaborating on it with seems to be Millie Bobby Brown. Way back she said this person is an actress who wants to get into music and they've been hanging out together a bit much for their age difference to just be good friends even though MC wants to forever be 12. (Wednesday 21 September 2022; 14:54)

Re: Butterfly 25 (101,198) (101,200) by Shezz from Pk Message from Liron from her team. So they will not be recordings from the vault, those don't exist. I think they will be reimagined versions with the other artists that she was working with like the Clark Sisters. (Thursday 15 September 2022; 04:19)

Re: I wish for Butterfly: unplugged for Butterfly 25 (101,173) (101,177) by Shezz from Pk Not every song Bill. I think The Roof (When I feel the need) with Brandy was inspired. Surprisingly so. (Sunday 11 September 2022; 00:12)

Re: Butterfly 25 (101,085) (101,090) by Shezz from Pk Liron responded to this on twitter and said it wasn't true. But you never know. (Monday 29 August 2022; 15:37)

Re: You and I (100,669) (100,671) by Shezz from Pk Here we go around again One more time Will it ever end? (Will it ever end?) (Friday 8 July 2022; 18:25)

Re: Just an opinion AIWFCIY (100,392) (100,400) by Shezz from Pk I came to know of this song when Kelly Clarkson covered it on Kellyoke a year or so ago. I thought it had thematic similarities ( l don't want any material things for Christmas, I only want you) but then most songs have that now don't they? I don't think Tommy "stole" the idea as it was already a commercially released song. Could Mariah have been inspired by it? Possible. The fact that they named it the exact same title, I hope, means that she wasn't aware of it and it was just a coincidence. The fact that they're only going on title similarities and doing it after so many years when it's become such a lucrative staple just means they're just after some money now. Hoping for the new single / project announcement supposedly to happen on the upcoming twitter spaces. (Monday 6 June 2022; 05:25)

Re: Big Energy (100,306) (100,308) by Shezz from Pk There could be a number of reasons why she didn't get on to the BER bandwagon. 1. Seems like there might have been some label conflict with the remix not getting played on radio much and MC not getting credited (and clearly it's not because the original was better - the remix was a near home run that MC put a considerable effort into). 2. Maybe she's focusing more on her own upcoming project that she's very excited about. 3. Maybe she just was not invited to perform? 4. Her fear of live shows. Although she did say the video was up to RCA not her, and the amount of love and support she showed Latto on twitter, she would have been down for it. Label or scheduling conflict? I don't think she minded being a feature/guest on the song as she did once talk on twitter spaces about the possibility of the song going n1 and what that would mean. I don't think we have too long to wait till we get some announcements about the new era. Here's hoping for a full on roll out TEOM style. Does she have the label's support and faith in the project though? (Wednesday 18 May 2022; 13:44)

Re: MC16: Rumour mill (100,274) (100,278) by Shezz from Pk Doesn't anybody else find it strange that the original Big Energy is still getting more airplay (maybe streams as well, not sure) in the US whereas in most other countries like UK and Australia it's the opposite and she's getting credited there? I'd hate to think that it's still industry politics that she often alludes to. (Friday 13 May 2022; 04:31)

MC16: Rumour mill (100,270) by Shezz from Pk I don't know if any of y'all follow the twitter account "Nostradamus Prediction" - they report on upcoming music. They reported (they like to call it predictions - but it's clearly somebody connected who gets info a few weeks before it's out) the Latto collaboration long before it was released and lots of other news for other artists and they are mostly pretty accurate. Attached is a link stating that the first single from MC16 will be out mid June. They have also reported on a Weekend collaboration, and while ago reported a big collaboration with another female other than Brandy and Latto (which Mariah confirmed the other night). (Thursday 12 May 2022; 15:51)

Re: Remix (100,021) (100,025) by Shezz from Pk Mimi L back in the house. So so good to see you posting regularly again. Wow didn't realize you were the second most poster here ever. Ah I think Mariah is saying " Big Latto uhhh sing." To be honest at first I wasn't as blown away by the remix but listening to it with earphones is a whole different experience. You can hear Mimi on the entire track not just her verse. I could not stop hearing it on repeat at the gym the whole time. I wonder if this song will be tracked separately or combined with the original on Billboard. I love it. (Monday 28 March 2022; 13:23)
