About Stacey from USA: Been a fan since 1993. Favorite albums include Daydream, TEOM, and Music Box. I love a good discussion, but won't stand for hateful comments because we disagree. Ok? I'm too old to deal with drama and so are you. Keep it real with me and we'll have some fun. Peace.

Happy forever 12 Edward (106,115) by Stacey from USA Happiest of days to you. I hope you are well. (Friday 5 April 2024; 23:15) this is a reply to message 106,112

Happy forever 12 Edward (106,112) by Edward from USA Thank you, TJ. I appreciate it. (Friday 5 April 2024; 18:54)

The elephant in the room (106,114) by Stacey from USA MC's collabs with Diddy have stood the test of time. I don't think anyone can touch the Fantasy remix with ODB no matter what happens with Diddy. That song singlehandedly changed the music scene in the 1990s. Same goes for Honey, debuts at #1 just like Fantasy. Nothing can touch those songs.

The elephant in the room (106,107) by Tevin from USA Ok so everyone is innocent until proven guilty. I'm asking this question not for your opinion about if Diddy is guilty or innocent, but I'm curious if the allegations about illegal activity turns out to be true (particularly the traffic allegation), how do you think that would affect some of Mariah's music? I know some people won't even listen to BGK from Memoirs because of RK, but songs like Honey and the remix has Diddy all over it, and those are big popular songs in her discography. I ask this question out of curiosity, no answer is wrong or incorrect, everyone is entitled to their views and opinions. (Friday 5 April 2024; 04:53)

New photos (106,059) by Stacey from USA And her "girls" are covered up. I hate to say it but it's nice when she wears clothes that don't give away the farm. (Friday 29 March 2024; 03:39) this is a reply to message 106,058

New photos (106,058) by MusicfanJ from Germany The sparkling dress just wow. It reminded me of 99 too. I want that time maschine. Lol. On the blue ones she really looks like a mermaid. I love her smile. (Thursday 28 March 2024; 20:29)

Funny story, Mariah related (106,016) by Stacey from USA Last weekend I was visiting my mom and my sister. She came with her two kids (11, 10). Her kids were asking for something and she kept saying no. It made me think of Mariah's song A No No. I played the song and she commented, "Hey that's a great beat." I said you should play this song whenever your kids ask for something, lol. I made her a short ringtone. It got me to listening to more from Caution. While it's not my favorite, it definitely has those amazing arrangements, chords that just sound different yet so fresh. Giving Me Life, Portrait, and Caution are amazing songs. (Thursday 21 March 2024; 02:47)

Caution and Eternal Sunshine (105,967) by Stacey from USA I had the same problem, lol. Nice, new look. Thanks, Eric. (Wednesday 13 March 2024; 06:16) this is a reply to message 105,965

Caution and Eternal Sunshine (105,965) by Robert-Anthony from United States So true Jaker. I have been saying this since Caution failed to yield a pop hit. I thought it could be Devonte Hynes, but he doesn't produce commercial pop and R&B hits. She needs songwriters and producers like Claude Kelly and Chuck Harmony (The Shindellas) and Madicin (Kenny Lattimore) to get her to Atlanta after the Vegas shows and create some great music for 6-8 weeks. (Wednesday 13 March 2024; 00:38)

Top of the Pops (pun intended) (105,862) by Stacey from USA All I Live For. Oh man that has 1990s written all over it. And I'm totally on board with that song. (Tuesday 5 March 2024; 02:19) this is a reply to message 105,860

Top of the Pops (pun intended) (105,860) by Matty from Vancouver Canada What are Mariah’s most Pop, ah La Lady Gaga and Britney, moments? Yes, And? remix, Almost Home, where else is MC pure pop? (Monday 4 March 2024; 23:35)

Daydream is now Mariah's biggest album (105,841) by Stacey from USA It's been a busy week. I was so excited to hear the news. Daydream is such a beautiful album. I can listen to every song. No fillers. (Saturday 2 March 2024; 03:38) this is a reply to message 105,832

Daydream is now Mariah's biggest album (105,832) by MusicfanJ from Germany It's so deserved. I love everything about Daydream. I became a fan because of Daydream. When I heard "Fantasy" on the radio back then I was enchanted. I bought the album and I still remember the day. I was so happy, I still have the original cassette. "Always be my baby", "One Sweet Day", "Open Arms", "Forever", " Melt away", "Long Ago", "Underneath the stars", "Daydream Interlude" and the incredible "Looking in". Isn't it unbelievable? For me it is and always will be the ultimate Mariah album. It is the perfect mix of Pop and RnB. That album caused Mariah mania. Daydream is deep in my heart. (Friday 1 March 2024; 20:34)

I hope Mariah never releases anything anymore (105,739) by Stacey from USA Same. There's a reason why LA Reid is a successful record exec. ILT, SIO, and WBT are hawt. Radio hadn't been kind to MC for years since Rainbow. But when TOEM was released, radio had to play it (aka WBT.) That song is so good, radio was forced to play it. MC can strike gold again. Just put out good music and promote it. (Sunday 25 February 2024; 04:15) this is a reply to message 105,734

I hope Mariah never releases anything anymore (105,734) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Everyday I thank LA Reid for telling Mariah to go back and record with JD hahah after she had initially completed TEOM without ILT, WBT, SIO and GYN. WBT is the most perfect song, masterpiece that should be studied but would have been a mess if it was just whispers. (Saturday 24 February 2024; 23:55)

I hope Mariah never releases anything anymore (105,733) by Stacey from USA Rumor has it MC wanted to sing WBT with whisper vocals and JD insisted on full voice vocals. Can you imagine that song as a whisper track? Perish the thought. Yikes. MC is a masterpiece. But like all of us isn't perfect. Even the greatest basketball player, Michael Jordan, said all the shots he missed made him better. I mean, the guy was cut from his high school basketball team. I'll always advocate MC keep realists on her team, people not afraid to say no to Mariah. Shoot, Celine didn't want to sing My Heart Will Go On and ultimately gave in and did it. Good decision, don't ya think? (Saturday 24 February 2024; 23:23) this is a reply to message 105,726

I hope Mariah never releases anything anymore (105,726) by Jamie from UK Problem with you is you want everyone to agree with what you think, but unfortunately they didn't, you lost this argument. Even the webmaster jumped in to say it. I've seen that clip before, nobody ever wants to hear criticism but if you can accept it and learn from it then all the better. I'm not hating on her and being negative like some none fans are on twitter. I just think a bit of constructive criticism would be good at times with Mariah as I only want the best for her as do a lot of people on this forum hence why we're so passionate. If you think that your gonna come here and not hear fans give constructive criticism at times with something they choose not to like then your gonna be constantly disappointed. As a fan you're allowed to not like certain songs, it doesn't make you any less of a fan. (Saturday 24 February 2024; 21:50)

General public or bad decisions (105,731) by Stacey from USA I've visited Vancouver. It's been a hot minute though, 1990, lol. It was beautiful. We visited Vancouver Island, stayed in a town called Nanaimo. Traveled over to the Canadian Rockies, visited Lake Louise, down to Calgary, and into Montana to see Glacier National Park. My dad loved to travel. Beautiful country. (Saturday 24 February 2024; 23:12) this is a reply to message 105,723

General public or bad decisions (105,723) by Matty from Vancouver Canada I love the west coast. Vancouver's nickname is Raincover because it rains a lot, but I live side the beautiful beaches and ocean, the mountains are only 20 mins away, palm trees the whole bit. It's gorgeous. I love Guelph though, it's a beautiful city, super old downtown lots to do, and so close to Toronto so tons of Broadway shows, sporting events and concerts just 45 mins away. My brother still lives in Guelph and loves it. Thanks for asking. Where about in the USA do you live T? (Saturday 24 February 2024; 18:25)

Jazz (105,721) by Stacey from USA I hope so. Songs like Lullaby of Birdland and Nevertheless fit her current voice so well. (Saturday 24 February 2024; 17:55) this is a reply to message 105,703

Jazz (105,703) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Stacey your dream is probably coming true, one of the insider accounts posted that MC will include a jazz style song on MC16, it can be a sample or a cover. Take it with a grain of salt though since these accounts are right 50-50. They said Ariana and MC have a music video and big promo plans including live performance but we didn't get it. But I think it's a safe bet that she will have something jazz inspired otherwise she would randomly jazz it up on stage. (Saturday 24 February 2024; 04:55)

I hope Mariah never releases anything anymore (105,720) by Stacey from USA Brilliant response. (Saturday 24 February 2024; 17:52) this is a reply to message 105,705

I hope Mariah never releases anything anymore (105,705) by TJ from Norway I do not agree with you, but then again, it's only opinions. You sit on yours, and I have mine. I have been a fan since 1990, but I don't love every project she has done, but am still here. I call that a real fan, even if you disagree. (Saturday 24 February 2024; 12:09)

I hope Mariah never releases anything anymore (105,702) by Stacey from USA Like I said in an earlier post, I could care less what another person thinks about me. Their opinions do not define what kind of fan I am. I decide that. My 30 years of loyalty decide that. (Saturday 24 February 2024; 00:49) this is a reply to message 105,683

I hope Mariah never releases anything anymore (105,683) by TJ from Norway So a fan who is still there after let's say 30 years plus, but doesn't like everything she does, isn't a real fan? Did I read your message wrong? I have to ask. (Friday 23 February 2024; 14:56)

This is what we asked for (105,656) by Stacey from USA Because she's always chosen charts and hits above anything else? Clearly you've conveniently forgotten I Don't, Crapfinity, Save the Day, etc. Oh wait, those don't count. They were buzz singles. Sorry, my bad. (Thursday 22 February 2024; 05:50) this is a reply to message 105,647

This is what we asked for (105,647) by T from USA Sometimes it's not about what you want. Mariah isn't a puppet that you can control the strings to. If you don't understand what a Top 10 hit on Billboard would mean for Mariah then you really don't know Mariah. Because she's always chosen hits and charts above anything else. I believe deep down inside she's a real musician, a soul artist, but she's very much driven by success. It's the American way. If you want more Mariah you have to give her incentive. Stream and buy. (Wednesday 21 February 2024; 17:45)

SNL (105,655) by Stacey from USA Mad here? That depends. It depends on if the collaboration steers toward the WAP Cardi B with MC running around in a bathing suit once again. No thanks. That's so beneath Mariah's legend status. Now I'd it's a fun bop aka Fantasy, Heartbreaker, Crybaby, etc then yeah, I'm all for it. (Thursday 22 February 2024; 02:02) this is a reply to message 105,633

SNL (105,633) by Shezz from Pk I'm a little worried about how she'll sound (if it is true). It's a lot of strained belting. Let's see how much is going to be live and how much lipped. I hope she puts in the effort to do it justice. Insiders are saying the Cardi collaboration will be her next step - which is bound to get more people mad here. (Wednesday 21 February 2024; 10:37)

I don't understand peoole from this board (105,654) by Stacey from USA It's why I don't take anything said here too seriously. At the end of the day I have been an MC fan for 30 years. I don't need to prove anything to anyone. I'll always love her music. Saved me on many occasions. Carey on. (Thursday 22 February 2024; 01:59) this is a reply to message 105,648

I don't understand peoole from this board (105,648) by "MariahHater" from Hell Come on guys. She is doing exposure if she will collaborate with Cardi or whoever mainstream [censored] there is. Why are the lambs so hyper in being critical? Lets learn to accept that we are way past the prime. We can have opinions yeah but most of the time people are dragging her nearer to the grave. So much for being a lamb. She can't give out what we want or desire vocally/personality/artistic choices. We all act like as if we are her mother. She is an old adult let her be. Btw just living for the music. Persona, career wise I don't care now. Ugh. Why is charting even created? Sad that art needs to be capitalized for money vs the real form for its consumption. (Wednesday 21 February 2024; 17:49)

This is what we asked for (105,653) by Stacey from USA And add her take on Nevertheless (I'm in love with you). Now that music is timeless. I like Yes And. Do I think it has the same magic, wow factor that a Jay-Z collab did with Heartbreaker? No. But I ain't mad at it. It's a huge step up from I Don't, Save the Day, etc. (Thursday 22 February 2024; 01:57) this is a reply to message 105,645

This is what we asked for (105,645) by MusicfanJ from Germany I've never asked or wanted a song or remix with Ariana. I don't like the music from Miss Grande. The same with Cardi B. (even worse). I want real musicians like Jazz/Blues and Soul singers or a band with real instruments. People like James Poyser are also a win. Trends will come and go, but quality music will stay forever. I enjoy the song "Portrait" again lately, I almost get some Stevie Wonder vibes from a part of the melody. Mariah's "You and I" version is heavenly. That's my kind of music. (Wednesday 21 February 2024; 16:37)

Stacey and Robert (105,594) by Stacey from USA I get it. I take my breaks too, just unannounced. I miss Stephen's posts. Remember him. Anyway, for me coming here is a break from madness that is life as a wife, working mom of three. I enjoy the banter then go back to that craziness as those peeps are most important to me. I don't take anything here too seriously or remember what happened six months ago. It ain't that deep. Carey on. (Tuesday 20 February 2024; 01:14) this is a reply to message 105,585

Stacey and Robert (105,585) by Edward from USA It's just little break. I'm not leaving board. (Monday 19 February 2024; 21:35)

Herd mentality (105,580) by Stacey from USA No. Come back. (Monday 19 February 2024; 20:12) this is a reply to message 105,576

Herd mentality (105,576) by Edward from USA I do not follow the herd mentality. It's perfectly fine if 99 percent of people love the "Yes, And?" remix. I've always advocated for people expressing their opinions here, even if they differ from my own. I will respectfully express my views, even if they diverge from the prevailing consensus. I think it's time for me to take a break from this board. Peace to all. (Monday 19 February 2024; 17:29)

Yes, And? lyrics (105,555) by Stacey from USA I'll just say this: Drop the sh-word and f-word in a your next job interview and see if they hire you. I've never understood the need to use cuss words. (Sunday 18 February 2024; 23:47) this is a reply to message 105,553

Yes, And? lyrics (105,553) by Matty from Vancouver Canada Jaker, "extra gatekeeping" is a great way of putting it. Thank goodness censored versions of songs have always been played on traditional radio and readily available to stream if that's what you prefer. The power of GTFO without the actual word loses its power as a song and expression. Even in "It's a wrap", the "put all your sh** in an elevator" or "I should have never given you my [censored] two way" from Clown, lines are so much more expressive and true to the anger the song is projecting (which is the art) then say "put all your stuff in an elevator". Swearing isn't about age, that's obscured. if you're in your 30's, 40's, 50's and you believe you've out grown curse words, what age range is curse words bond to? I can tell you you won't want it to be your children, teens your young 20's using those words if that's your view on using expressive language. Words only mean something when you put meaning to them. If curse words are what you're worried your children will hear, I'm sorry, but as a parent in 2024 that's the least of your worries. Say ummm like a criminal eligible to be a global leader, or people not having the freedom to express themselves without death because of how they were born. Those are things to teach the next generation, language is only but a tool of expression. (Sunday 18 February 2024; 23:26)

Yes, And? lyrics (105,554) by Stacey from USA Speaking personally, I've had nothing but positive things to say about Yes? And. Just drop the cuss words. They serve no purpose. (Sunday 18 February 2024; 23:44) this is a reply to message 105,532

Yes, And? lyrics (105,532) by Libra Lamb from USA I couldn't agree more Matty. We have no right to censor the artist. Some here won't like anything MC puts out regardless. I personally enjoy the music and will support all of MC's efforts. Basically, if Mariah likes it, then I like it. Consider the records a gift. One day MC will no longer be here and they've sat there complaining and waiting for projects that will never come. Instead, they could be more supportive and be grateful, it shouldn't be hard for her biggest fans. If they can't do that it's ok but, with all due respect, maybe it's time to move on. (Sunday 18 February 2024; 04:18)

Yes, And? lyrics (105,535) by Stacey from USA I'm a 46 year old adult who doesn't care for profane-laced lyrics. Spare me the "it's art" argument. It's an old and often overused reason to justify such unnecessary decisions. The song is just fine without it. Why add it? Makes zero sense to me. (Sunday 18 February 2024; 05:14) this is a reply to message 105,529

Yes, And? lyrics (105,529) by Matty from Vancouver Canada I get some people's objection to the profanities in the song, although this is music for adults, and radio plays clean versions. Profanities are just words, just like every other word. It's art and words are an expression of art. Anyways . What was odd to me is that some don't like the message of this song. it's extremely empowering. "Wear this stuff on your chest, be your own best friend. I'm done with hypocrisy" etc. it's extremely empowering and self assured. Aside for your view on curse words, why isn't this songs lyrics a flex of self love and empowerment? (Sunday 18 February 2024; 01:19)

MV snippet (105,534) by Stacey from USA Haha, no. (Sunday 18 February 2024; 05:11) this is a reply to message 105,525

MV snippet (105,525) by Bill from the UK Was it the instrumental? (Saturday 17 February 2024; 23:53)

MV snippet (105,516) by Stacey from USA Ahhh, she needs a studio version of Nevertheless. Now that would get me giddy all over. (Saturday 17 February 2024; 20:40) this is a reply to message 105,509

MV snippet (105,509) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, absolutely. Boring and not needed to use such words. I watched the lyric video, what a mess. Who wrote this? Boy put your lipstick on? I'm going to listen to "Nevertheless I'm in love with you". That's classy. (Saturday 17 February 2024; 15:48)

MV snippet (105,515) by Stacey from USA All is well. I found a clean remix version, lol. (Saturday 17 February 2024; 20:39) this is a reply to message 105,501

MV snippet (105,501) by Stacey from USA I like the song. It's got 90s retro vibe all over it and I am totally on board, minus the cuss words. Ugh, someone find me a clean remix version. Stat. But, I digress. Given her last couple of songs (remember I Don't, Crapfinity, Save the Day), I'd say this is a huge improvement. Hopefully a new album continues in this direction. (Saturday 17 February 2024; 03:03)
