Muni Long what? (112,534) by Bobby A from United States
Maybe it is, Alexis. It was just a random thought while I watched Dex Dexter leave my apartment. Lol. It could happen next year because MC is long overdue reuniting with Tricky and The-Dream. Muni Long's writing partner, Ben Parris being apart of the writing session would be icing on the cake.

Muni Long what? (112,533) by Dove from United States
You know, I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt because I don't want to think about her anymore, but I think you're right about the gaslighting Lambi. The vibe doesn't feel nice. She was trying to be a venomous bitch and still is.

Some people have a special light about them where people just want to love them. Mariah is one of them, Whitney Houston, Britney Spears, Taylor Swift, Paul McCartney, Michael Jackson. You can't manufacture that.

One thing I'll give Tommy Mottola is that he was good at spotting it. A lot of my favorite artists/people were his artists. Fiona Apple, Mariah Carey, Jessica Simpson (she's pretty endearing), Beyoncé, Celine Dion. Jewel said in her book he offered her a record deal. Shakira, Ricky Martin. I know he didn't discover all of them but he recognized their talent.

I know some of them have said negative things about him but I'm talking strictly about spotting star quality. And on a side note Jessica Simpson looked the best she's ever looked in the Irresistible video so I think he was right to ask her to lose 15 pounds. She was competing with Britney. It's easy to lose 15 pounds when you're 17, I doubt anybody told her to do it in an unhealthy way. If she would have walked on a stairclimber every day she could have easily done it without diet pills. But I don't know him. Maybe he was an asshole about it.

Sometimes being an entertainer, being attractive and fit is part of the job. Especially when you're young. Of course there are exceptions but you're basically selling a fantasy.

But anyway, I was talking about star quality. In the movie Stardust with Claire Danes, where she plays a literal star, she glows and that's what it reminds me of. Some artists these days have no business being famous. They can paint themselves in glow in the dark colors, but it's not the same as when you're born with the glow from within.

The only reason I've even heard of this character is because Mariah did a song with her. She doesn't have star quality.

Just to clarify on my last post: I'm a fan of Jessica Simpson as a person, by what I know about her from her book and reality show. I'm not a fan of her music, although she is a good singer.

It is going around social media that MC is not happy. I think she should rewrite A No No that the two wrote together with new lyrics about an ex-friend who went too far. She should remove Muni Long's voice and laughter from A No No.

Muni Long what? (112,530) by Lambi from USA
Mariah was pissed because they kept showing her reaction shots in horrendous lighting. And you know Mariah doesn't play about her lighting. That was the first thing she brought up in her speech.

Mariah doesn't like when people do her songs. (I mean she was made to sing "Hero" with horrible singers in singing contests.) "Not really" is pretty fair. But she obviously appreciates tributes because she knows the person she handpicked will be good. Muni Long didn't need to take that to heart. She's now gaslighting everyone and saying she meant no disrespect. I find her even more annoying and stupid.

I think 2 things can be true. I think Muni is dead wrong. I also think Mariah has a smart mouth and sometimes it gets her into situations where a wiser response wouldn't land her.

I think it's a big misunderstanding. I'm pretty sure Mariah's already probably contacted her. I just don't want Mariah to be getting into these petty stuff anymore. She's no longer a pop girl. But a lot of lambs are still stuck on stirring stuff like these. I hope Mariah will connect with everyone who did her wrong, and move on with her life. That will be a true legacy.

Muni Long what? (112,525) by BFF from United States
The thing is, Mariah wasn't rude to Muni Long and didn't say anything negative about her. That shot of her at the awards show during the tribute was taken out of context and was soon after her mother and sister passed away. Mariah was clearly out of sorts, was trying to put on her best game face, and had no idea what she looked like on camera. She even thanked both Muni Long and Tori Kelly during her acceptance speech.

Mariah saying she doesn't like people covering her songs after the fact is not a diss. It doesn't necessarily mean she thinks Muni Long did a bad job. Maybe she doesn't like people covering her songs because it puts her on the spot to "say something nice" regardless of the quality of the cover?

Muni Long knew exactly what she was doing and got the reaction/outcome she wanted. Too bad that she's so insecure that she cannot have the focus be on her talent alone.

I've seen her many times. I used to follow her on Instagram. She went on Wendy Williams one time dressed as Mariah for a Halloween episode and I've seen her on this parody from Todrick Hall too called "Cell Black Django".

I would say that MC shoud fly down to Atlanta in January to work on a song with Tricky, Ben Parris, and Terius Gesteelde-diamant just for fun of it. Who knows what the writers of Delulu will come up with in the studio? Maybe something better than Delulu. I do miss the vibe of Memoirs that The-Dream and Tricky gave MC.

Article: Muni Long says she meant no "disrespect" to Mariah Carey (112,520) by Dove from United States
Well at least she cleared it up. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt. Maybe she was trying to be funny like Lambily said and it just didn't come out right.

I mean if Mariah Carey said that about me I'd be heartbroken, even though I genuinely don't think Mariah meant it as shade towards her. Just because she looked genuinely confused. It seemed like she thought she covered it on an album or something.

She was equally confused when they were playing Clarissa's version of Someone's Ugly Daughter in that interview with SZA (who I recently discovered and I really love BTW). I think she thought they were playing the version with her vocals on it. This whole year has been like she's in a fog. Which makes her so human to me. It makes me love her even more.

The Easter egg of it all (112,519) by Matty from Vancouver Canada
Mariah is the master of the ridiculous "Taylor" (highjacked) term: "Easter egg". MC has a catalogue of biographical songs, where she leaves "Easter eggs" (aka: "hints") of who the song is about.

Muni Long what? (112,518) by MusicfanJ from Germany
Muni Long seems like a typical "young" wannabe. If Mariah hadn't done this one song with her, I wouldn't know who she is. She is totally unknown here. Maybe some teens know her. Her voice is okay, but nothing special. I wish Mariah had done a song with Toni Braxton, Sade or Jessie Ware. Women with class and way more power.

Muni Long what? (112,516) by Bobby A from United States
Muni Long is known to throw shade at other artists. She threw shade at the R&B singer Lyfe Jennings about his classic song, Must Be Nice sounding resentful and bitter and not appreciative back in August. That is Lyfe's most popular song that everyone still loves today. Muni Long shading him came out of nowhere. Muni Long must have been writing her song Delulu back in August. Anyway, I just wanted to give some context to as to why now Muni Long would throw shade about comments MC made during a GQ magazine. Muni Long likes throwing shade for her own benefit. She is trying to promote her song Delulu because it has yet to debut on the Mediabase Urban AC radio chart. Her instagram shade video was not warranted for an artist who has always sang praises about Muni Long since her 2018 Colored album when she was Priscilla Renea. I don't know if I am a fan of Muni Long now.

Some say that's tough (112,514) by Lambi from USA
I'm dead, it sounds like The Mad Hatter's laugh. It is a little creepy now fully hearing it a capella. Before I heard the actual recorded version of HFIA, I thought Mariah was just ad libbing "someone said that's tough" and giving a shout out to Rocky in the stripped version she posted on Instagram. I was honestly kind of shocked that lyric was included in the actual song.

Queen of Christmas (112,513) by Dove from United States
Like I said, I don't know anything about trademarking. I assumed they were trademarked because they were used in every article and introduction made about those artists. It's common knowledge that they reigned supreme in those music categories. I didn't know it wasn't "official" because it seemed like it was. Also, I now understand that if she trademarked it no one else could use it and that's why people were against it. Thanks for telling me that. But I don't know why anyone else would.

Side note: I didn't know the religious aspect was also an issue.

Maybe that is what she needs. A CEO type person. I don't know what each person does. This year they had her scheduled on a lot of shows and I appreciate that. The Christmas shows look good. Maybe they just need a bigger team.

I'm not saying she needs to be out there every day, I want her to rest too. But there's a lot that can be done with her just her name, likeness, and the music that has already been recorded without her having to do much. If it's marketed right.

I just want to keep her name relevant, especially among younger people because they're new to her music. And I don't think she has to write songs differently than what comes organically because old and young people seem to like her music once they listen to it. All of it.

I played the original Merry Christmas on a road trip with some of my siblings, who are a lot younger than me, and they were in awe of her voice. My youngest brother was amazed. He said he couldn't believe the way she was singing. I get this reaction sometimes from people who listen to her albums for the first time. Sometimes their first introduction to her was not good. Like the terrible "leak" when she didn't sound good at all televised Christmas shows. I forgot which one it was but it was viral and people were dragging her hard for it.

Muni Long what? (112,511) by Lambi from USA
I checked, they're still following each other, but I agree it's a really tasteless skit. She comes off like that kid in high school who tried doing stand-up but clearly didn't have the talent for it. Most of the comment section is dragging her, and you know that the market is always right. The skit is simply poorly done, with barely any real comedic elements to make it clear it's supposed to be satire.

She probably asked for Mariah's approval, but she still kind of did her dirty, because what the hell was that overweight Mariah double? MC will not like that. I get that Muni is trying to make light of the situation, but the skit just ended up being annoying.

At the very least, do a good job being funny, like this girl did.

Queen of Christmas (112,510) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands
Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley and Aretha Franklin never tried to trademark those titles. That's the difference. If Mariah was allowed to trademark the phrase "queen of Christmas", then nobody could use that phrase anymore. She deserved all the backlash she got.
