About Steve from USA: 36 year old Mariah fan- since 1990!

Article: Mariah Carey's opening a $20million museum (58,532) by Steve from USA This seems fake to me. One thing that really stands out is "a recreation of her childhood home". Mariah has said many times that they moved all around, so what home would this be? The whole article feels a bit drerogatory as well. (Friday 18 December 2015; 1:58)

Article: Did Mariah Carey lip-sync at Thanksgiving Day Parade? (58,197) by Steve from USA I thought all performers lip synced at parades because of the moving floats and such, so they just play the track. It's silly that people called out Mariah when literally every performer used playback. (Friday 4 December 2015; 1:58)

Nostalgia (51,451) by Steve from USA I became a Mariah fan almost from the very beginning. My first memory of her is the Someday video being on MTV. I think I was like 12. I was like "Who is this? She's good." Then she hit the whistle note at the end and I stopped doing whatever I'd been doing because I was in total shock. I was hooked from that point on. Like many other fans my age, the first thing I did was steal my parents' cassette of the debut, which I listened to ad nauseous. Same with Emotions. I actually recall going to the record store (yes kids that was a thing) with my mom to buy Emotions, and playing it in the car on the way home. A few years later, during the Music Box era, my parents split up, and my dad got a new, very unkind, girlfriend (they are married now and she still sucks). I had an extremely unpleasant first meeting with her, and I locked myself in my room, and lay in the dark listening to a mix tape I had made of the first 3 albums. I just kept getting up to flip the tape. If there was any question about life long fan-dom before that, it was history. Mariah music definitely helped me through that moment in my life. No song in particular, all of them. (Tuesday 7 April 2015; 14:43)

Edward (39,359) by Steve from USA Perhaps you meant a different song when you referred to "rap collaborations a-la Babydoll". Mariah worked with Missy Elliot in writing that song, but there was no rapping on that song. (Monday 30 September 2013; 2:58)
