About 123 from USA:

Re: Our minds work differently (81,035) (81,053) by 123 from USA So it's ok to joke about race because it's a joke right? I knew I'd push that button and get a paragraph. You're a hypocrite blondie. You live a sheltered life. To say gays have it the worst and turn around and make racist jokes shows you like to pick and chose when it's all wrong. Every time you make a racist joke I'll make a gay one. Let's see how long that lasts. (Wednesday 21 February 2018; 02:11)

Re: Our minds work differently (81,028) (81,030) by 123 from USA Yeah but say something about the gays and your all over it with your social justice sword. (Tuesday 20 February 2018; 16:44)

Re: Where did she go? (80,974) (81,021) by 123 from USA Mimi L is probably still celebrating that she no longer has to empower her highlighter. (Tuesday 20 February 2018; 02:29)

Re: Article: Michelle Obama's Valentine's Day playlist (80,995) (81,012) by 123 from USA Yes Mara, the bridge is everything. The prettiest whispers on that song. Speaking of wedding songs I loved yours. Endless Love. (Sunday 18 February 2018; 13:45)

Re: Reuben Walton (80,994) (80,997) by 123 from USA Welcome Rueben. You've woken this board back up from the dead. Yes they move fast on UKMix. Each board has its own feel. (Saturday 17 February 2018; 04:35)

Re: Article: Michelle Obama's Valentine's Day playlist (80,970) (80,983) by 123 from USA I never thought about Endless Love. It's a forgotten gem. That live performance gets me every time. Nice choice. (Saturday 17 February 2018; 00:52)

Re: Article: Michelle Obama's Valentine's Day playlist (80,962) (80,982) by 123 from USA Nice choices. That last run on Lead The Way has to be the most if not one of the most complex/intricate runs she has ever done. I love So Blessed. It's so underrated. No one ever talks about it. Her whispers are so beautiful on that song and I love the bridge. The old 50s ballad approach makes it timeless. It should be in a movie soundtrack. (Saturday 17 February 2018; 00:50)

Re: Toni Braxton - Long As I Live (80,954) (80,980) by 123 from USA Speaking of Breath Again, have you heard the Spanish version. So good. (Saturday 17 February 2018; 00:46)

Re: Toni Braxton - Long As I Live (80,963) (80,978) by 123 from USA I love Toni. I still play I Heart U. Should have been a hit but I think she was independent at the time. Hoping she has some great songs on the album as she always releases something I enjoy. (Saturday 17 February 2018; 00:44)

Re: Article: Michelle Obama's Valentine's Day playlist (80,958) (80,960) by 123 from USA Oddly enough it gets played/dedicated at weddings. I see it dedicated to significant others all the time. Seems like the title and uplifting melody are what people are drawn to. I'm like, is anyone actually listening to the lyrics? This should not be dedicated at a wedding lol. Which brings me to ask, what Mariah song fits the Valentine theme best if you had to pick one (non break up). (Friday 16 February 2018; 15:23)

Re: Toni Braxton - Long As I Live (80,952) (80,959) by 123 from USA I must be the only one but Deadwood and Long as I Live sound like album filler. And that trap style song with Birdman is a fail. I Don't was trap done right. I prefer I Wish from her album with Babyface. She co wrote that one. Or the Sade-esque duet with Babyface, The D Word. Gives you the feels. (Friday 16 February 2018; 15:18)

Note changes she only did once (80,860) by 123 from USA I love this collection. I know she has to have a lot more. I'd be great to see more of this instead of lipping to original versions that she struggles with. These note changes are a testament to her musicality. (Thursday 8 February 2018; 05:15)

Re: Songwriters hall of fame snub (80,849) (80,851) by 123 from USA I just want to point out that all those lawsuits (except for Hero) were based on the melody not the actual lyrics, but I get where you were going with it. Sampling shouldn't have anything to do with songwriting but they neglected to credit the original composers on a a couple of those songs on the Emotions album. The Can't Let Go case was droppped when it was proven that there are tons of songs released before "Right Before My Eyes" that used similar cords. Taylor Dayne and Lionel Richie both had songs with similar chords released prior so they slowly retreated. TGIFU melody does sound like a straight rip off, probably why she does a stripped down version for Vegas which I prefer over the original composition. (Wednesday 7 February 2018; 23:05)

Re: Can't Let Go (80,797) (80,803) by 123 from USA it's my favorite ballad of hers. I remember it pouring out of the radio back in the day. It's the song that really made me fall in love with her music. Such a beautiful song. From the nice angelic sounding opening of the song, to the desperateness of the lyric and vocal and addicting melody. I found this stripped version that I love. She has vocals I had never noticed before, that must have been hidden behind the music. (Sunday 4 February 2018; 20:51)

Re: Mariah's anniversary 2018 (80,753) (80,754) by 123 from USA I love this idea. In Chicago here but a FaceTime to join the U.K. lambs would be cool. (Thursday 1 February 2018; 21:03)

Re: Interesting question (80,593) (80,596) by 123 from USA I didn't really hear it either but I loved how she started to transition between all her registers in this era version the mainly full voiced vocals of 93. (Wednesday 24 January 2018; 14:18)

Re: Interesting question (80,589) (80,590) by 123 from USA 93 Mariah vocals where more pop driven but by the Daydream era, she really started to experiment. This video, the magic hidden behind the Daydream era really speaks to what I mean. (Wednesday 24 January 2018; 09:57)

Re: Sustained notes (80,292) (80,309) by 123 from USA Although I agree that especially this year she struggled vocally and had less shinning moments that stood out, she had some good live mid belts that were very resonant and pleasing. The last held "Be" in Vision of Love during the All The Hits tour sometimes sounded so good that fans were starting to wonder if she was lipping that note. She also did a nice job belting the last "comes" on WCC during her holiday concerts that sounded nice and resonant where she successfully went down the scale while still singing. I would rather her use whatever part of her voice is most dependable when singing live instead of just opting for the pre-record to come on. Most singers do that to compensate for whatever area of their voice is lacking at the moment. I wouldn't call it smoke and mirrors if it's live. Smoke and mirrors to me are the pre-records. Anyway, here is a clip of her WCC last belt during her Christmas concerts this year. (Monday 8 January 2018; 06:28)

Re: Professional footage of NYE rehearsal (80,274) (80,288) by 123 from USA Who would just blatantly lie? I find that claim a bit dramatic. Speaking of liars, the notion that she can't sustain a note, well I will just place that under the fairy tales, fables, fiction, and fallacies section and leave this little video right here. (Sunday 7 January 2018; 03:09)

Happy 20th and New Year (80,191) by 123 from USA Congrats on 20 years. She did a good job in freezing temps. I was freezing walking from the car to different parties I was only imagining the death the weather was going to do to her voice and figured she would lip. So glad we saw a... (Monday 1 January 2018; 09:43)

Feliz Navidad (80,083) by 123 from USA Feliz Navidad everyone and to Mc and her fam as well. The insta video with Dem Kids and Santa is so cute. (Tuesday 26 December 2017; 02:54)

Black / ponytail era (80,056) by 123 from USA I love her wearing all black all the time when she is out and about. The styling is so on point now and I love a good pony. Lol. Mimi L, your pic is on trend with the new era, but you may have to change your tagline regarding empowering your highlighter. What will it be now? Lol. The vindication of Mimi L? (Sunday 24 December 2017; 06:44)

Re: Social media (80,042) (80,055) by 123 from USA Nobody wanted to deal with her or knew what to do with her career at that time. Hiring friends (Randy/JD) just led to her not listening or making poor choices. If you think about it, she kind of lost herself after the injury, divorce, and then failed project the label ignored since she wasn't going to resign. With no hit album people weren't interested in working with it for her. Glad that era is over. (Sunday 24 December 2017; 06:39)

Re: Social media (80,032) (80,041) by 123 from USA I remember when poor Anthony was trying to tell them that the ass shot was tasteless and didn't fit with the Mariah brand and Stella and crew gave him crap for it and try to say that some article about Mariahs IG validated the good work her child was doing while the fans were ranging mad. Then Mariah was easily pacified because a 14 year old told her she looked hot so she posted it. Bye Felicia. (Saturday 23 December 2017; 20:39)

Re: Social media (80,002) (80,007) by 123 from USA I'm surprised that no one else has mentioned this prior. Where is Mimi L or Marissa? She even seems to be tweeting herself again. This new team is a breath of fresh air to me. (Saturday 23 December 2017; 00:42)
