About Andrew from UK:

Re: Article: Carey on (78,864) (78,865) by Andrew from UK Forgive me, but shouldn't Mariah seem happy in all of her concerts? People are paying enormous amounts of money to go to these things. Since when does "it was bad for this reason because Mariah has personal issues" get to be an excuse? If Mariah insists on touring so much she needs to put on a show every night. Half-assed performances are an insult to her fans. Who, for some bizarre reason, make every excuse for her under the sun, while she sips Sangria in a boat off Capri while Tanaka fans her with your cash. People go to see a show, there shouldn't be any "oh her voice wasn't on point" or "oh she looked unhappy" or "oh she must be on meds because she didn't move". She's charging nigh on a fortune for a ticket. It does appear to be a last ditch money maker before retirement. Are people getting their money's worth? (Wednesday 18 October 2017; 15:48)

Re: Foxwoods (78,842) (78,848) by Andrew from UK Granted Mariah looks better than she has recently, but to say she should better is perhaps a little disingenuous. If it isn't pre-record it's off-key. (Tuesday 17 October 2017; 08:52)

Re: Rainbow tour live in Los Angeles (78,830) (78,839) by Andrew from UK 4:42 is that not you being told to f off? Pretty sure it is. (Monday 16 October 2017; 18:53)

Re: Rainbow tour live in Los Angeles (78,820) (78,829) by Andrew from UK Every time you post I have to watch you once again being told to "[censored] off, Jamie." Really cracks me up. I'm a little in awe you had the bollocks to do it, tbh. So, the Rainbow tour wasn't a disaster. But compared to the previous tours I think people were expecting something a little slicker and more professional. One of Mariah's issues is that she runs away with her own ideas and I don't think she realises that some demographics won't buy into them. I went with my two older brothers who cringed at the boxing match and VTs and the faux tears during Petals. They stopped liking Mariah after that tour. With many other things Mariah doesn't consider to whom she needs to appeal. A cringe example would be the video for CTTA which killed the song before it even had a chance. Further, titles such as Memoirs of a Perfectly Pretty Princess etc. embarrass a lot of people and they don't want to be a part of it. She can't have a comeback with only gays and girls buying into her campness. She needs straight men to buy into her, also. The Emancipation of Mimi allowed for that. The Rainbow tour did not.

Re: Rainbow tour live in Los Angeles (78,797) (78,812) by Andrew from UK There's no actual link there. Where's this review? However, I saw Mariah in London for the first time on the Rainbow tour (clearly not pushing it, like Bill), a year after seeing Whitney cracking it up on stage, in fact. The Rainbow tour was some sort of theatrical joke unbefitting a star of Mariah's calibre. I remember watching it wondering how I didn't get to see something akin to the Daydream tour. My brothers took me. Because I made them. A boxing match? Backing track half the volume of the live vocals? Live vocals strained to remain within one octave? Even they said it was an unprofessional mess. Rainbow was an album with PR that befitted the music scene at that time. The tour was shite. Whitney's My Love Is Your Love tour put the Rainbow tour to shame. All we saw was a silly girl on stage trying to duoe everyone. Thankfully, her tours went back to being less self indulgent after that. (Saturday 14 October 2017; 05:49)

Re: Mariah out and about (78,767) (78,771) by Andrew from UK You Social Justice Warrior, you... making sure that no offense is caused to anybody whom you decree must remain unoffended. Hypocrisy abounds when your sanctimony moves instantly to personal attacks on people who disagree with you or hold opinions contrary to yours. Righteousness, indeed. But it's not surprising; you're a muffin short of a picnic, unendingly spouting lies and faux-positivity to silence dissent. Further hypocrisy ensues as you attempt to take the moral high ground whilst hurling such infantile preciousness as "I bet you're fat and old." Mariah fat, honey, and Mariah ain't young, sweetheart. What's more she actually did look like a hooker. It may be offensive but it's true and none more so than when it's falling from the lips of people who actually love her enough to visit a website based upon her, nay, create and run a website based upon her. Lordy me. If the ole world didn't just go ahead and keep on turnin' cos someone said something offensive. Don't you have some witches to burn? Yup. Still turnin'. (Thursday 12 October 2017; 00:53)

Article: Now he's touching her body (78,742) by Andrew from UK It's quite clear that the lights are on but nobody's home. She's so totally bizarre I just laugh out loud and smack my face, now. She's clearly had some sort of massive emotional compromise in her life over the past few years and has snapped. Suggest she hasn't been able to cope with the music industry moving on and leaving her behind, her voice leaving her on a nightly basis and most men leaving her because she's a bit of a twat. Lamb Bible, The Gospel According to Andrew, Chapter 9, Verse 43: "She was never thus so, but alas, so now she is." (Tuesday 10 October 2017; 23:09)

Re: Gospel album (78,711) (78,713) by Andrew from UK That's an awesome song but it's nothing compared to CIMS and WYSTN. However, TOIW is a masterpiece. (Tuesday 10 October 2017; 01:14)

Just sayin' (78,679) by Andrew from UK Just spent the day with paramedics in an ambulance and hospital with and for my brother, to come home and listen to Mariah, namely Petals and Close My Eyes (Orange Clouds). That's why I don't give up on her. That's who she is to me. The vocal and musical comfort to my soul. No matter how I approach it or the piss I may take. I think maybe now Mariah, when she is the true Mariah that I grew to know, is the infamous (infuhmuzz) guardian angel. I wish you all happy times, happy holidays, and, if we have or have not spoken, if we will meet or will never meet, a long and happy life. (Sunday 8 October 2017; 01:09)

Re: Mariah's Christmas (78,669) (78,671) by Andrew from UK Feisty one, you are. Strong with you, the Stella is. (Friday 6 October 2017; 23:31)

Good Morning Britain (78,647) by Andrew from UK The issue wasn't Piers Morgan: he was perfectly right to question Mariah about it. If something big happens, the narrative has to change. Mariah was booked. She is a performer who performs in Las Vegas. There is a mass murdering at a music performance in Las Vegas. Of course they'd run with it. What's ridiculous is her cluelessness. A normal person may have covered for themselves with: "I'm here to talk about Christmas shows but from what you've just told me I don't think that would be appropriate. Let's shut this down." Must be some seriously strong meds. But equally ridiculous is how she looks like Jabba the Hutt. "Ohji foojo mohji, Han Solo." But it ends well because eventually Luke saves Leia, the Jedi defeat the Sith and the Stellactic Empire falls. (Wednesday 4 October 2017; 03:18)

Re: Butterfly saved my life (78,588) (78,596) by Andrew from UK What I find quite special, looking back to ages past when you hear music you loved, music with which you identified, is hearing other people's stories. Whilst I listened to that album on repeat twenty years ago it became another dependable friend in my life, and, as I went through the emotional upset that came with being a teenager, I would wonder, like many teenagers before me and I imagine many teenagers after me, if there was anyone out there, right at that time, feeling the same as me, being the same as me, wondering the same as me. And it's amazing now to know now, with hindsight, that there really was. In an age long gone, free of social media, and smartphones, with only the worst of dial-up there were only young people in their bedrooms listening to music. There were people the same age as me, listening to that very album, Butterfly, at that very time, spread across the globe, feeling the same as me and needing Mariah the same as I did. I always wondered who the "Guardian Angel" in that album was. Now I think maybe it's the future you. The Sun is setting but you're still around and still going. And you'd love to be able to go back and rescue yourself, and tell yourself that you're going to make it. (Thursday 28 September 2017; 19:04)

Re: Badly enunciated verses (78,566) (78,595) by Andrew from UK Nobody, but nobody, can understand what the Funtime Bobby Mariah is on about at the end of "Crybaby". In fact, I recall some lucky lamb winning a private phone call with Mariah during the Rainbow promo time and when probed as to what was discussed, the lamb said that she had asked Mariah what she was singing because she didn't understand it. I remember thinking that is a pretty cold thing to do. Mariah calls you up on the phone and you basically tell her she sang the song crap. I mean, I wouldn't even do that. Well, depends on the amount of "splashes". Hers I mean. (Thursday 28 September 2017; 18:45)

Re: Badly enunciated verses (78,559) (78,560) by Andrew from UK What a surprise? Mariah perfect (when there are many sentences impossible to understand) and other artists inperfect. Never thought you would have made that lie. (Tuesday 26 September 2017; 19:55)

Re: Beacon (78,529) (78,543) by Andrew from UK Other things Mariah did for money? Hmm toughy. Going to have to go with "Marry Tommy". Closely followed by "Divorce Tommy". (Monday 25 September 2017; 21:35)

Re: VH1 (78,486) (78,494) by Andrew from UK Poppin' the pill, Mimi L., I'm poppin' the pill. Wake me up when it's 1996 again. (Thursday 21 September 2017; 16:58)

Re: VH1 (78,457) (78,482) by Andrew from UK Bryan doesn't push Mariah enough? You mean across the stage? Mariah is a [censored] [censored] [censored] beast of a woman the like of which has never gone before her in the position she is in. She is unique. The only globally best selling artist and icon who actively is pathetic in everything that she does in recent memory. She is, without question, a singer who can no longer sing, and a performer who can no longer perform. Judging by her recent efforts, she is a writer who can no longer write. And no, I won't just give it up and crawl away, I invested much of my life and a shit load of money in her. I'm going to cry about it until the cows come home. I speak for many people who are fed the [censored] up with how [censored] she is and how offensive she is. "I love my fans." No you don't. Mariah, you love money. You never really finished the Moët, did you? (Thursday 21 September 2017; 08:30)

Re: Occult (78,469) (78,480) by Andrew from UK Satan? God? You really are a cracker short of a picnic, aren't you? Satan? [censored] me. What's next? Labelling children as witches? No crackers for me today, no Sir. Totally mental. (Thursday 21 September 2017; 08:23)

Why was Mariah on stage? (78,421) by Andrew from UK She didn't sing, she didn't dance, she didn't move her facial muscles, she didn't fit into her outfit. What was she doing there? Seriously, she can't even croak out Honey in tune? I can fart that song. Being walked about by dancers because she can't walk herself is beyond the pale. She is a laughing stock. To pretend she is not, and it is not deserved, is disingenuous. She is now universally known for being shit at what she does. *sigh* Remember when Mariah wasn't a joke? (Tuesday 19 September 2017; 18:33)

Re: Close My Eyes (78,389) (78,393) by Andrew from UK Don't worry, mate, so does she. Tick boom. (Sunday 17 September 2017; 21:24)

Re: Orange Clouds (78,372) (78,375) by Andrew from UK It amazes me how she used to encapsulate almost everything about a feeling and/or experience into a short burst of expression. I suppose everyone has thought about what song they would like played at their funeral. Certainly, this version of this song must be the stone-winner for so many lambs now. Been a long while since I sat still in silence long after a song has finished. (Saturday 16 September 2017; 13:55)

Butterfly and everything after (78,371) by Andrew from UK "She literally had a silver platter with Hennessy and marijuana for us. So we were like 'Ah sh-t. Ah man. Mariah cool as hell.'" Gone were the days of phoning in to ODB and seeing if he'd woken up and recorded another line, it seems. I think Mottola was pretty smart there. Cool as hell? To me it sounds like a silly little girl desperate to be one of the cool kids and look "hood". If she did start drinking Cristal heavily and smoking that loser shit then she deserved to lose her range and her power and I wouldn't feel sorry for her. And therein lies the problem with the Butterly era onwards. The whole planet saw a unique, well crafted and strikingly beautiful talent, somewhat out of the blue take its clothes off, act with extreme vanity, immaturity and desperation and work to destroy its hard earned reputation. Butterfly is a brilliant piece of work - a Magnus Opus, perhaps. It's just a little dispiriting how it seems it had to come about. (Saturday 16 September 2017; 09:53)

Mariah's World (78,351) by Andrew from UK Just caught the first episode flicking through on a random channel in the UK. I have to say, she ain't all that bad. Sometimes, like at NYE, you catch a glimpse of who she once was and, hopefully, still is. Strip away the shite surrounding her, and watch her closely, and, sometimes, if you look hard enough, a rainbow appears. Not sure it's boundless, breathtaking and celestial, but it's definitely there. And I'll still look up. (Thursday 14 September 2017; 23:23)

Article: Mariah, French Montana did not flirt in recording studio (78,348) by Andrew from UK What is the purpose of Gossip Cop? Take a tabloid news story and then proclaim "It's not true because someone from the celebrity involved said it is not - haha we busted them, it wasn't truuuuuueee, aren't we great?" On what planet is this an actual thing? When did investigative journalism involve asking the accused to confirm or deny an embarrassing allegation and subsequently declaring innocence when they do? Somebody tell MI6 or the CIA to haul the journalists from Gossip Cop in to be debriefed on this brilliant investigative technique and terrorism itself would be a thing of the past. Gossip Cop could be Global Cop: World Police. (Tuesday 12 September 2017; 22:39)

Re: Miss You Most at Christmas Time (78,319) (78,338) by Andrew from UK Fully agree that Miss You Most is perfect for Christmas. If I sing along I always want to do the big "alright" note at the end but always, without fail, stop and listen hard to the note instead. It's so wonderfully rich but so annoyingly short. It's possibly the only part that Mariah would have to do a prerecord on if she did it this year. With the hundreds of concerts she's been doing recently, she would to well to start throwing other songs into the mix. Would be interesting for the lambs to guess the tracklisting and order for the concerts. Let's see who gets it right. I'm sure somebody will get it bang on. Then maybe Mariah might realise she's pretty boring live, recently. Personally, is like to see her doing something completely new and moving. Like Hallelujah. (Monday 11 September 2017; 17:01)
