Messageboard

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.

Greatest performance ever? (82,876) by Stacey from USA I'm going to go a different route and say her appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. No, it's not your typical performance per se. She ad-libbed a lot and you could tell she was enjoying herself. With a typical performance, concert, etc., there is the opportunity to perfect the performance through dubbing, playback, etc. I guess she could have done it here too, but I doubt it.

Re: "That's about me" song (82,779) (82,802) by Stacey from USA Without a doubt, the "song about me" is Looking In. (Thursday 14 June 2018; 03:09)

Re: Stella, grasping at straws (82,727) (82,729) by Stacey from USA Haha, I just laugh at it all. MC finally "woke up" and fired the leech. Now the leech actually has to earn her own money. (Sunday 10 June 2018; 00:55)

Re: New appearances and promos (82,696) (82,699) by Stacey from USA I agree. Mariah seemed herself with Kimmel. She seemed "all there" if ya'all know what I mean. Alive. Healthy. Funny. So many good reasons why I'm so happy Stella is in the rear view mirror. This was her best interview in a long time. She seemed grounded. (Friday 8 June 2018; 02:40)

Long Ago and Melt Away (82,665) by Stacey from USA I used to skip these songs. Nuts, right. I know, I'm nuts. Maybe my tastes have changed. I used to prefer songs like When I Saw You and Forever. I still do like them, but after I Am Free, I skip to Long Ago and Melt Away. Genius songs. Perfection. (Tuesday 5 June 2018; 21:50)

Re: Slipping Away (82,647) (82,664) by Stacey from USA Yes, where have you been, lol? Slipping Away is genius. Makes me love Daydream even more, as if that's even possible. Haha. (Tuesday 5 June 2018; 21:44)

Mariah quietly sells diamond ring (82,549) by Stacey from USA Another step in the right direction post-Stella era. (Monday 28 May 2018; 04:44)

Memoirs (82,391) by Stacey from USA Just say no. No, I'm kidding. Relax. The whole vibe of the album is just not my cup of tea. (Sunday 13 May 2018; 01:27)

Re: Meet and Greet - wait 2 hours for 20 seconds (82,325) (82,330) by Stacey from USA Um Stella was in the picture. I'm sure life is a whole lot clearer now that Stella and Co. are gone, baby, gone. (Monday 7 May 2018; 20:47)

Re: Article: Mariah returns to Las Vegas for The Butterfly Returns (82,242) (82,251) by Stacey from USA I agree. Now that's a great album title. (Tuesday 1 May 2018; 05:25)

Re: (82,060) and (82,063) (82,072) (82,082) by Stacey from USA Best post ever. Thank you Edward. (Sunday 22 April 2018; 01:03)

Re: "Can't Let Go" (81,980) (82,005) by Stacey from USA Yes. Till the end of time is probably my favorite bridge everrrrrrrrr. (Wednesday 18 April 2018; 18:48)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey once hospitalized (81,959) (81,965) by Stacey from USA Absolutely. Mariah got ahead of what she knew was coming if she didn't reveal her disorder. Stella wasn't going away quietly. Once MC did this, not allowing Stella the opportunity to drag MC through the mud, Stella is trying another way with all this silly lawsuit nonsense. (Wednesday 18 April 2018; 04:56)

And it begins (81,899) by Stacey from USA Mariah beat Stella to the punchline when she revealed her bipolar disorder before Stella could leak it. So now Stella is going to get her somehow by suing her? What a freakin' loser. (Monday 16 April 2018; 18:55)

Cautiously optimistic (81,804) by Stacey from USA I think Edward echos a lot of what many of us are feeling, even good ole Andrew as well. We are all cautiously optimistic. After the 2001 breakdown and lackluster sales of CB, MC put out TEOM, something so good, radio had to play it. Here's hoping she gets back to making good music. Cautiously optimistic. (Thursday 12 April 2018; 23:07)

(81,759) by Stacey from USA As someone who has also battled mental illness, I completely understand. I'm proud of Mariah to admit this condition is a part of who she is. I kept my battles with anxiety and depression hidden. I was afraid to open up for fear of rejection and/or being vulnerable. When I finally opened up to my parents because I couldn't keep it hidden any longer, the weight lifted off my shoulders was huge. I got the help I needed and am doing fine today. I'm happy for Mariah. She'll get the help she needs and come back stronger than ever. She's got a great support system in Nick and her kids, even if she's not married to him anymore. You know he's got her back. Proud of you, Mariah. You've got this. (Wednesday 11 April 2018; 18:24)

Re: Don't Explain (Billie Holiday cover) (81,250) (81,251) by Stacey from USA Yes, and yes, and yes. Lullaby of Birdland too is a fabulous track. It would be nice to see her dip more into this genre. (Monday 5 March 2018; 05:35)

Re: Our minds work differently (81,013) (81,016) by Stacey from USA I think you stole the "ain't that deep" line from me, lol. I've used that line more times than I can count. (Monday 19 February 2018; 03:26)

Re: Stripped/acoustic (80,869) (80,882) by Stacey from USA Circles is one I've seen. Love that song from TEOM. (Friday 9 February 2018; 23:55)

Re: Can't Let Go (80,828) (80,841) by Stacey from USA I love One Child. I remember playing the album in its entirety for the first time, one song after the other. That song was the first song I remember standing out to me. Yes, thank heavens for her Christmas albums. (Wednesday 7 February 2018; 01:51)

Can't Let Go (80,827) by Stacey from USA Found this gem the other night. I agree, the emotional journey you take on this song leaves me speechless. Same goes for Till the End of Time. Enjoy. (Tuesday 6 February 2018; 18:33)

Re: Can't Let Go (80,788) (80,793) by Stacey from USA CLG has those unique melodies, notes/phrases of music you don't hear anywhere else. The song is such a different sound to it then what was typically heard at the time. Truly an underated gem. (Sunday 4 February 2018; 08:45)

Re: In studio photo op (80,751) (80,752) by Stacey from USA Yep, agree 100%. YDKWTD could have been such a hot summer jam. Still love that song. So many gems on that album. (Thursday 1 February 2018; 20:13)

Re: CTTA Oprah (80,637) (80,638) by Stacey from USA Back in 2003, I attended the final night of the CB tour in So Cal. The song voted by the fans for her to sing that night was CTTA. The song was good but had never registered with me personally. I had been going through some crap around that time. People spreading rumors, gossiping, etc. Here I was dead center, 15 rows back. When she sang that line you quoted, something inside of me changed. I began to love those words and not care a flying crap what someone outside of me felt. My personal anthem is Looking In. Oh my... (Friday 26 January 2018; 00:04)

Re: Interesting question (80,577) (80,587) by Stacey from USA 95. Daydream is my fav for good reason. All facets of her voice are on display. That alone is what makes the album such a masterpiece. (Wednesday 24 January 2018; 02:54)
