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. I am too old to deal with drama and so are you. Keep it real with me and we'll have some fun. Peace.

Re: Thoughts: which album do you think MC dislikes (100,785) (100,789) by Stacey from USA I don't think MC sees Daydream the way you do. The ballads lean heavy toward R&B while Music Box leans pop. Now I say any criticism of Music Box with a huge grain of salt. MB was the first album I bought. Hero was the first song of Mariah's I heard on TV when, you know, music channels actually played music videos, lol. So I do have a soft spot for MB. Go find Mariah's appearance on Carpool Karaoke and listen to the first two songs James Cordon plays. Daydream forever. (Friday 22 July 2022; 01:33)

Re: Thoughts: which album do you think MC dislikes (100,772) (100,777) by Stacey from USA Wait, wait, wait, I got to defend my baby, Daydream. That album was the beginning of Mariah spreading her wings. Not just Fantasy, ABMB, but MC loves UTS and the amazing record OSD held. I can see Forever, When I Saw You being a bit schmaltzy but even those songs lean hard toward R&B compared to songs from Music Box. Honestly take your post and replace Daydream with Music Box and then I think you're onto something. But not with Daydream. (Tuesday 19 July 2022; 20:58)

Re: Libra (100,762) (100,763) by Stacey from USA Very nice. Libras rule. (Sunday 17 July 2022; 23:35)

Re: Narada Michael Walden (100,745) (100,752) by Stacey from USA I know IDWC was not a favorite of MC. I'm glad she sung it again for her Vegas residency. It has such a haunting melody. It's a favorite ballad of mine. All the magic's gone, just a shadow of a memory Something just went wrong. We can't go on make believing, on make believing (Sunday 17 July 2022; 02:25)

Re: Top ten proflic song lyrics (100,749) (100,751) by Stacey from USA Melt Away. Such a great song off the best album ever, Daydream. And can we talk about the second verse where she layers her whisper over full voice. Chills. Looking In is my theme song. You look at me and see the girl Who lives inside the golden world But don't believe That's all there is to see You'll never know the real me She smiles through a thousand tears And harbors adolescent fears She dreams of all That she can never be She wades in insecurity And hides herself inside of me Don't say she takes it all for granted I'm well aware of all I have Don't think that I am disenchanted Please understand It seems as though I've always been Somebody outside looking in Well here I am for all of them to bleed But they can't take my heart from me And they can't bring me to my knees They'll never know the real me (Sunday 17 July 2022; 02:23)

Re: Vocabulary (100,748) (100,750) by Stacey from USA At least spell my name right, lol. P.S. My birthday is in October and I'm a libra as well. I don't use the terms "faceless" and "nameless" as put downs. It's your choice to take them as such, but that is not my intention. That is how I see everyone here and how I believe you should see me too. Why? Keeping that perspective helps me not to take any discussion or personal attacks spoken about me so seriously. I used to get all hot and bothered by what was said about me 20+ years ago when I started posting online during the Charmbracelet era. Remember the pink MC.com boards? Fun times. I started collecting MC's promo CDs and discovered this site. I would take things so personally, try and prove others wrong, wasting so much of my time, and for what? I guess 20 years later I'd rather worry about things that are in front of me: my hubby, three kids, my job, etc., and not take what someone hundreds, thousands of miles away thinks of me so personally. Sure I'll entertain a discussion as I have for the past few days. But at a certain point as I told Bill, you need to get it go. It was my opinion and he could make his own choice. I come here to discuss all things Mariah and keep it light. Simple as that. Carey on. (Sunday 17 July 2022; 02:14)

Re: Top ten proflic song lyrics (100,746) (100,747) by Stacey from USA My All. "Emblazoned on my mind." I love those obscure words MC fits into her songs. Inferiority complex from How I Wish You Knew is another one. (Saturday 16 July 2022; 21:02)

Re: Vocabulary (100,741) (100,743) by Stacey from USA I'd let it go. You're too nice a guy to get pulled into such nonsense from a faceless person on the Internet. Just my opinion, though. (Saturday 16 July 2022; 11:50)

It's Like That (100,742) by Stacey from USA Cause it's my night No stress, no fights I'm leavin' it all behind No tears, no time to cry Just makin' the most of life You like this and you know it Caution, it's so explosive Them chickens is ash and I'm lotion Baby, come and get it let me give you what you need It's a special occasion "Stacey's" emancipation A cause for celebration I ain't gonna let nobody's drama bother me (Saturday 16 July 2022; 10:27)

Re: Vocabulary (100,737) (100,739) by Stacey from USA I've already moved on. I got told to practice what I preached. The irony in that is in each interaction I was the one who was always initially approached first, even when I was discussing something with a completely different person. But I digress. Maybe it is time to move on to a different topic like her songwriting. (Saturday 16 July 2022; 02:19)

Re: Vocabulary (100,734) (100,736) by Stacey from USA Ouch. You got me. Where would you like your prize delivered? (Friday 15 July 2022; 20:58)

Re: Vocabulary (100,728) (100,729) by Stacey from USA What a cool tradition. It's such a great song. If I was absolutely forced to name my favorite ballad, I'd probably go with TTEOT. So powerful. So full of emotion. Happy Friday. Tell me what you need Let me give you all of me Cause without you, nothing's real You're the reason that I feel Oh tell what you need Let me everything Every moment I'm alive Until the end of time Shivers. (Friday 15 July 2022; 11:37)

Re: Vocabulary (100,724) (100,726) by Stacey from USA Irony is Terna never said anything about MC's songwriting either. I'm confused how her songwriting got grouped in with her speaking vocabulary. Shrugs. Time to pop in Till the End of Time and enjoy what I think is one of her best bridge to final chorus moments ever. (Friday 15 July 2022; 04:10)

Re: Vocabulary (100,723) (100,725) by Stacey from USA Terna started a topic about Mariah's speaking vocabulary, nothing about her songwriting. Nothing. It kinda then morphed into her needing assistance to walk and all that. It was lighthearted fun. You brought the drama to a funny moment between fans here. No one here would ever dare mock MC's writing abilities because they are unmatched. She is in a league of her own. "Looking In" is my life's theme song. CTTA among so many lyrics she's written have helped me through some difficult moments. It's why I'm still a fan after nearly 30 years. Honestly if some of us bother you so much, look up the word ignore and follow that definition. You'll be much happier. Carey on. (Friday 15 July 2022; 04:06)

Re: Vocabulary (100,720) (100,722) by Stacey from USA Checkmate. Bill wins. Never mess with her longtime fans. You'll always lose. (Thursday 14 July 2022; 16:50)

Re: Vocabulary (100,711) (100,713) by Stacey from USA Every legend singer, I mean every legend, has at least one song that's just horrible. Crapfinity is Mariah's down in flames song. (Thursday 14 July 2022; 04:57)

Re: Vocabulary (100,707) (100,709) by Stacey from USA No argument here. I've always admired and stood up to others the fact that MC writes her own songs. When she puts her name on a record, you know she was involved in every aspect of that particular project. She just didn't show up, sing the song, and leave. Terna started this topic and I don't believe he would ever question her songwriting vocabulary. I know I sure won't. Many of us are just lightheartedly talking about words she uses in her everyday talk that drive us crazy, lol. It ain't that deep. Carey on. (Wednesday 13 July 2022; 19:27)

Re: Vocabulary (100,685) (100,696) by Stacey from USA Agreed. But silly us, it's because she's anxious. Gosh, I suffer from anxiety and I walk on my own all day, everyday. Maybe I should share my secret for walking all by my awesome self with Mariah's people. (Monday 11 July 2022; 21:26)

Re: Vocabulary (100,681) (100,684) by Stacey from USA Oh dear, I'll probably get chastised for this but the whole "bleak, dahling it's bleak" drives me crazy. (Sunday 10 July 2022; 10:47)

Re: New cover song (100,655) (100,657) by Stacey from USA Ohhh yes. I absolutely love her version. (Tuesday 5 July 2022; 07:15)

Re: GOATS and Lambs (100,635) (100,636) by Stacey from USA Amen Bill. I won't add anything to that post. You nailed it. (Friday 1 July 2022; 12:01)

Re: GOAT (100,626) (100,634) by Stacey from USA Cool story. I had a huge MC collection. A couple of my items made it on webmaster's discography. But life got in the way and I sold my collection in 2007. But it was fun for awhile. I met some cool fellow collectors along the way. The one item I didn't part with was a signed copy of Daydream. Hello it's Daydream, my favorite MC album. Carey on. (Friday 1 July 2022; 11:35)

Re: GOAT (100,631) (100,633) by Stacey from USA It doesn't phase me if GOAT is a negative term or a positive one. I've been having fun with the whole topic the last few days. My philosophy in life is focusing on what's real right in front of me, not worrying about what a faceless person on the Internet thinks of me. But you are right, Mariah is a talent no one on earth can match. That we can agree on, a fact that has made me a fan for close to 30 years. Carey on. (Friday 1 July 2022; 11:29)

Re: GOAT (100,629) (100,632) by Stacey from USA You're welcome. I aim to please. I was quoting the webmaster who runs this place, just in case you were wondering. But, I digress. I'm glad you joined me in having some fun. I've been laughing this whole time. (Friday 1 July 2022; 11:21)

Re: GOAT (100,621) (100,623) by Stacey from USA Quoting Eric, "I hope you all know that GOAT means 'Greatest Of All Time'. So when you call the older fans goats, then you're right. We are Mariah's greatest fans. We are here from the beginning and we are not going away." GOAT was initially a criticism thrown at some of us and we turned it into a positive. I've said this many times to folks who try to spar with me. I guess I need to say it again: I was here before you and I'll still be here long after you're gone. Carey on.
