About 123 from USA:

Re: Billboard Music Awards (100,205) (100,206) by 123 from USA This is a smart move and I think she will be a surprise performer. The song has had a slow climb and I think it will end up having legs throughout the summer. (Thursday 21 April 2022; 02:26)

Re: Mariah Carey Masterclass (100,176) (100,178) by 123 from USA Hi Jamie from the UK. I'm in the states so not sure if this will work but here is the YouTube link to the first video of her masterclass on her YouTube page. (Friday 15 April 2022; 21:51)

Mariah Carey Masterclass (100,172) by 123 from USA The first three episodes are on her YouTube page. My favorite on is how to produce using your voice. This masterclass exceeded all my expectations and is one of the best things she has ever done. Her team should use clips from this masterclass to promote her. It feels like a re-introduction of Mariah Carey to today's music audience. I can't wait for The Butterfly Room. (Friday 15 April 2022; 15:59)

Re: The Roof (When I Feel the Need) (100,165) (100,167) by 123 from USA I'm shocked that you love it Randy. The more I listen to it the more I tend to go back to it and notice listen changes and the intricacies. I love the new intro and the outro is sooooo lush. I didn't think the whistles were necessary but after a few more listens I love them. (Friday 15 April 2022; 02:57)

The Roof feat Brandy (100,162) by 123 from USA I like it. Doesn't stray away from the original much at all. The backgrounds, ad libs, and Brandy's parts sound so lush. The only thing I don't like is Mariah's new lead vocal. Sounds dry and course in some parts, just like the BER lead when she sings the first verse. I've seen clips of the masterclass and it looks cool. (Friday 15 April 2022; 00:11)

Mariah live (100,152) by 123 from USA Mariah was in ig live. That's the third time in like a month she has jumped on a social media platform to communicate to her fans. Looks like the reworking of [The Roof] will be a duet with Brandy and there might be video footage of this in her masterclass. What are you all most excited for? BER The Roof with Brandy Masterclass New/inspirational album (Thursday 14 April 2022; 01:05)

Re: Mariah's next number one (100,148) (100,151) by 123 from USA Well said Special K. How are you doing these days? (Thursday 14 April 2022; 01:01)

Re: Mariah's next number one (100,146) (100,147) by 123 from USA No one is combatting theories. Billboard was clear about their rule. There is no such thing as "fan driven" number 1s. If that was the case Mariah would have a lot more 1s. TGIFY only went number 1 because urban radio was playing the heck out of the remix while the original version collected dust. Even with Fantasy debuting at #1 and staying there for 8 consecutive weeks, the kids today don't know the song. Lol. Fans can stream and request but it will be the general public and radio that would take BER to number 1. People should just enjoy the remix. (Wednesday 13 April 2022; 14:35)

Re: Billboard Hot 100 (100,138) (100,139) by 123 from USA Hi T. My source is Billboard, where they explained the 50% rule and explicitly stated that the remix has not yet made up for at least half of the points. It's lacking in streams and radio plays. Let's not make up conspiracy theories and get worked up over nothing. The song has had a slow climb. It's been out since September 2021. I think the remix will gain popularity as the weather warms up. Even if she doesn't get credit I'm enjoying the remix anyway. (Tuesday 12 April 2022; 13:59)

Re: Stella would've gotten her credited (100,125) (100,126) by 123 from USA I read in another forum that the Billboard rule is the remix has to be the dominant version by at least 50%. So stream away and request it on radio. Lol. (Monday 11 April 2022; 04:47)

Re: #3 (100,102) (100,111) by 123 from USA Many fans would have laughed at the idea of Mariah having a current shot at a 20th #1. Now she's so close. I remember when she hit 18 the stans would always say 19th #1 for every single released afterwards only to have their dreams crushed. Then the more jaded fans would start making fun of them and calling them delusional. I hope I start seeing 20th #1 again to future singles. One can dream right. Every once and a while, dreams come true - lol. (Saturday 9 April 2022; 02:24)

Re: Faded (100,092) (100,098) by 123 from USA One of the gems from that era. It would have done well on radio. (Tuesday 5 April 2022; 20:55)

Re: Upcoming events (100,077) (100,078) by 123 from USA Add the re-imaged version of [The Roof]. She said that was [before] the masterclass comes out. (Sunday 3 April 2022; 02:48)

Re: Any news (99,982) (99,984) by 123 from USA Mimi L. I've missed you lady. How are you? How is the married life treating you beautiful? I'm actually excited in hearing the remix. I'm glad Mariah jumped on it even though poor Latto couldn't get her story straight as to whether she ever heard the song before or even knew of Mariah. I've been wanting Mariah to jump on other songs as a feature for a while. (Saturday 26 March 2022; 03:46)

Re: Tommy's Mariah (part 3) breaking down (99,820) (99,837) by 123 from USA Edward, you jumped into my post, not vice versa. Which is something you have a habit of doing because your [sic] desperate for attention and love to spread negativity. There is a difference between calling you out on your bs and attacking you. I never attacked you or called you names yet you are accusing me of smoking crack. Since you want to accuse me of attacking you, how about this. Come for me again and I have more for you. Giving one's opinion and being intentionally shady or two different things. Oh and that's just my opinion, so you shouldn't get your little feelings hurt. Boop. Lol. (Friday 4 March 2022; 02:45)

Re: Tommy's Mariah (part 3) breaking down (99,810) (99,817) by 123 from USA And here comes Edward wanting to get into a conversation that has nothing to do with him to foster more back and forth between Ribbon and I. Push on Edward, find some attention elsewhere. I know you love to throw shade and it looks like your attempt to recruit the final foursome for your Mean Girls Clique is complete. Why don't you, the Nutty Professor, the English Ragamuffin, and your new recruit make your own fan hate site. I don't need you trying to come braid my hair, respect social distance guidelines and keep your Omarion to yourself please. (Thursday 3 March 2022; 02:14)

Re: Tommy's Mariah (part 3) breaking down (99,812) (99,814) by 123 from USA I didn't ask for your feedback or anyone else's. I was just sharing for those that might be interested. Y'all so sad and negative here. Find some happiness. If you want to join the Negative Nancy Clique go right ahead but don't come over here with it. (Thursday 3 March 2022; 02:04)

Re: Tommy's Mariah (part 3) breaking down (99,802) (99,813) by 123 from USA You need some attention that bad TJ from Norway? There is giving your opinion and there is being just plain negative. If you want to bash and be shady, don't respond to my posts. Mind the business that pays you. (Thursday 3 March 2022; 02:01)

Re: Tommy's Mariah (part 3) breaking down (99,797) (99,800) by 123 from USA Because it not only shows her past interviews but interviews from other people. Again, you shouldn't judge something you didn't watch. Docs are typically for non fans as most fans already know everything there is to know. This doc pieces everything together nicely. Kanye has a doc on Netflix. Why can't Mariah? Side note Ribbon, if you are going to be negative, catty, and shady, I prefer you refrain from responding to any of my posts. Just keep scrolling. I'll do the same for yours. Be blessed. (Tuesday 1 March 2022; 18:11)

Re: Tommy's Mariah (part 3) breaking down (99,794) (99,796) by 123 from USA You didn't even watch it Ribbon. Don't judge until you actually watch. How is she not interested when she is currently working on a film adaptation of her life - lol. This doc actually includes interviews from each time frame and audio from her book. (Monday 28 February 2022; 16:07)

Tommy’s Mariah (part 3) breaking down (99,791) by 123 from USA I've been waiting for the YouTube channel realizing the dream to work on, finalize and post this part. This was a very well put together piece of work that should be on Netflix. Wish Mariah's people would get behind it, support the creator and get it on a steaming network. It would be a nice precursor to her movie/mini series on her memoir. Here is the link for anyone that wants to watch it. (Monday 28 February 2022; 07:08)

Re: MC16 and up tempo bangers (99,691) (99,698) by 123 from USA She needs a new album full of uptempo songs. I heard Mays' album and you are right, Bongo by the way's tracks are stand outs. I love Here With Me Fest Anderson Paak. Can you image MC writing something hot over that beat. He also produced Love Will Never. Another favorite. London on the track is another wish list producer of mine. He tweeted Mariah when she released GTFO to produce her next single (she needs to take him up on the offer). He produced Failing In Love on Marys' new album which screams single with that soul sample. Is very Mary-esque. She needs to work with both of these producers asap. (Tuesday 15 February 2022; 07:24)

Re: Why the secrecy (99,506) (99,512) by 123 from USA Her band live in Atlanta so she bought a house there so they can jam together and make music. The first Butterfly Lounge was in Atlanta where I think the Butterfly Lounge project was primarily filmed. When she was having trouble finding a place there she mentioned it in passing to Tyler Perry and he found her a home same day. (Sunday 23 January 2022; 19:30)

Re: How Greatest Hits should've played out (99,430) (99,435) by 123 from USA In her book she said when she renegotiated her deal to leave Sony she was required to give them a greatest hits album. That's why by the time they finally released it after she left she barely promoted it. (Saturday 15 January 2022; 12:50)

Re: Forbes fail (99,423) (99,427) (99,429) by 123 from USA But Forbes isn't a chart magazine, so why discuss the song dropping from the charts after the holiday season. Why not discuss all of the lucrative deals and financial power the song has managed to give an artist 30 years into their career. Not everyone has that. The song is an anomaly and has grown bigger than Mariah herself. The fact that each year it gets bigger and bigger should be looked into. Not the obvious chart performance after the season. Do we need an article telling us that? It's just common sense no? Just my thoughts. (Friday 14 January 2022; 21:57)
