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.

Re: VH1 (68,384) (68,388) by Stacey from USA Luke, I've thinking the same thing. I've been watching her guest spot on Michael Buble's Christmas special a lot lately. Her short red dress, cool looking white boots, and hair were great. But even more importantly her voice sounded great. Her acapella with Jimmy Fallon was awesome as well. She can't mess this performance up. With all the drama surrounding her breakup with JP, she needs a good performance to distract from all that. (Thursday 17 November 2016; 0:41)

MC JP split (67,993) by Stacey from USA I wish them both the best. Breakups are hard, especially when you're a celebrity. Quite honestly it doesn't surprise me this happened. The things I saw Mariah do didn't seem like someone who is engaged should do. Maybe I'm old fashioned. Who knows? Maybe JP got tired of all her over the top public antics. Or maybe MC got tired of JP always wanting to stay home, lol. Either way, it's sad to see something end. (Saturday 5 November 2016; 3:57)

Infamous (66,848) by Stacey from USA I like it. It was a nice surprise. After Infinity, anything done would have been a step in the right direction, lol. My only complaint is the extended use of Jussie's auto tune. It was too much. Honestly, had he just sang his part, the song would have been perfect. I like MC's vocals on this song. Her mid-range sounds so rich. I like how both singers go back and forth instead of one singer sings one verse and vice versa. It definitely suits the mood Empire brings to the screen. 7/10 (Thursday 29 September 2016; 21:41)

Infamous (66,798) by Stacey from USA After the debacle that was Infinity (sorry, but it really was that bad) we get Infamous. This song restored my faith that Mariah can still sing good music. The only part that bugged me was Jussie's overuse of the autotune. Anyways, enjoy. (Thursday 29 September 2016; 6:27)

Re: Miley vs Mariah (66,788) (66,797) by Stacey from USA Miley who? (Thursday 29 September 2016; 6:22)

Re: Mariah's World update (64,902) (64,918) by Stacey from USA RJ112, I actually think it makes sense to release it after Thanksgiving. MC owns Christmas. (Wednesday 3 August 2016; 16:33)

Re: And you don't remember (64,059) (64,066) by Stacey from USA Funny you mention that song. It's been running through my mind lately. Great song. (Thursday 7 July 2016; 5:51)

Re: Be civilized (62,841) (62,857) by Stacey from USA No matter how many times you say it, some will never get it. (Monday 30 May 2016; 20:25)

Re: Stacey (62,820) (62,833) by Stacey from USA Yep, that must be it. I'm so delusional and in denial. You are so right. Gosh, thank you so much for clearing things up for me. The ironic thing is, I could say the same thing about your opinion. Making up drama about Celine that just isn't there. Peace. (Monday 30 May 2016; 5:23)

Re: Divas 96 (the trinity, in memoria) (62,798) (62,809) by Stacey from USA I couldn't agree more. (Sunday 29 May 2016; 10:13)

Re: Celine, Patti, Aretha, and all that stuff (62,783) (62,808) by Stacey from USA Haha, thanks for the reply, Deedre. I can always count on you for a fair opinion. I've watched Divas Live 1998 plenty of times. It was a great concert for a great cause. This idea that Celine was trying to make it about her by letting fly with a few riffs is ridiculous. Talk about creating drama out of nothing. Even Carole and Randy's commentary back that up. Anyway, I've spent too much time on this already. (Sunday 29 May 2016; 10:13)

Re: Stacey (62,779) (62,807) by Stacey from USA To me this is all just a bunch of much "ado about nothing". I just got done watching a bunch of videos (before I saw your post Nikki) from Divas Live and I gotta tell you, it looked like Celine was just having fun during Natural Woman (and especially during Testimony). She's back there dancing with Shania, Carole with Gloria, all having a good time. Honestly, I don't get why some are getting worked up over drama that IMO just isn't there. They all were on stage having a good time. If Mariah held back because she deemed such a choice respectful of Aretha, then fine. That's her opinion and choice. It doesn't make Celine disrespectful for choosing to enjoy the moment by letting a few notes fly. Aretha had more than enough solo time. Please. This whole notion is so unfounded. Peace.

Re: Celine, Patti, Aretha, and all that stuff (62,760) (62,776) by Stacey from USA See though, I don't think Celine was trying to out sing anyone. I don't see Celine as that kind of self-serving diva. I've watched the performance of Natural Woman many times. All the divas were singing, then there was a moment to the end where Celine stepped in front and wailed a few riffs. The rest of the song showcased all the divas doing their thing. I don't see Celine ignoring her "place", trying to upstage Aretha. She had a moment and sang. Other divas had their moments. I just don't see the problem. Celine has always shown great respect and admiration for other artists that paved the way for her. Celine has had an amazing career. Why is it such an issue for her to have a moment? I just don't get "it", apparently, lol. (Saturday 28 May 2016; 19:11)

Celine, Patti, Aretha, and all that stuff (62,756) by Stacey from USA I can remain quiet no more on this subject. Celine trying to out sing Aretha? Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the 1998 show called Divas Live? I don't recall producers calling it the Aretha Franklin tribute. This whole notion that Celine was trying to upstage Aretha is ridiculous. Celine is successful just like the other divas on stage, so what's wrong in being allowed to show off for a moment during a song? Mariah had no issues doing it during Chain Of Fools. In fact, her and Aretha were battling for vocal supremacy during the final moments of song. I hear no complaints toward MC trying to outsing Aretha. Seems to me the issue is with Celine personally, masking the dislike for her or any other singer behind some silly upstaging argument. I don't understand pitting one artist against the other. I can like MC without putting Celine down and vice versa. I must be gifted in my ability to read messages about other singers without the need to criticize them, lol. (Saturday 28 May 2016; 1:23)

Mariah ABCs (62,256) by Stacey from USA This outta be fun. A - Always Be My Baby, B - Babydoll, C - Can't Take That Away, D - Dreamlover, E - Everything Fades Away, F - Fly Away (Butterfly Reprise), G - Get Your Number, H - Hero, I - I'm That Chick, J - Joy Ride, K - ?, L - Love Story, M - Mine Again, N - Never Forget You, O - Out of Control (OOC), P - Prisoner, Q - ?, R - Ribbon, S - Stay The Night, T - Till The End Of Time, U - Underneath the Stars, V - Vanishing, W - Whenever You Call, X - X-Girlfriend, Y - Your Girl, and Z - ?. This was harder than I thought. With some letters, the song needed to fill it came so easy. Others I can to go and cheat. Did anyone get one for K, Q and Z? Those were the only two I could not find any song to fill it. (Monday 16 May 2016; 20:46)

Rhianna, a legend? (62,229) by Stacey from USA Oh you must be joking, lol. Go and find the video of her attempting to sing Hero. It is laughable. She is the epitamy of studio creation if there ever was one. Please don't put her in the same category just because she's close to MC in #1 hits. (Monday 16 May 2016; 2:16)

Drama (62,037) by Stacey from USA I've been posting online since the Charmbracelet era. The same thing happens no matter what MC fan site I visit. 1) There will always be those who think they can say whatever they want sitting behind a computer screen. 2) There will always be those fans who think they are judge and jury when it comes to who is a fan and who is not. 3) There will always be those who take a difference of opinion as a personal attack. Bottom line: The three things I've mentioned will never change no matter how many times you try to advise those fans otherwise. The sooner you realize these fans will never change, the better off you'll be. Ignoring is the best advice I can give. I choose to respond and discuss with those who don't buy into the drama. If someone attacks me, I don't even bother responding. I read on. It's that simple. Peace. (Thursday 12 May 2016; 7:18)

Re: MC (62,025) (62,036) by Stacey from USA Just a thought, Ian. Leave Diedre alone. She's about as fair minded as you'll get around here. I don't post as much with all the drama like you. But just want to give a shout out to my friend here who shouldn't be lumped with the other names you mentioned. (Thursday 12 May 2016; 7:09)

Sweet Sweet Fantasy tour (60,477) by Stacey from USA I think one glaring miss from the set list is Without You. Didn't that song hit #1 in Europe? Anyways, if she is to tour Europe, her set list should include songs that hit the top 10 the mix that with obvious favs like ABMB, etc. (Wednesday 16 March 2016; 5:06)

Re: Only one MC song (60,275) (60,277) by Stacey from USA Till the End of Time/Looking In. Sorry, it's an absolute tie. (Wednesday 9 March 2016; 0:39)

Re: Las Vegas shows a complete disaster (60,269) (60,276) by Stacey from USA The bigger question is if MC's Vegas residency was such a failure as the article claims, why would Caesars Palace add more dates? (Wednesday 9 March 2016; 0:38)

MC and Packer engaged (59,240) by Stacey from USA I'm happy for them both. I hope 3rd times the charm both MC and JP. Out of MC's marriages, this one makes sense. They are both in their 40s, both not wanting for anything, etc. Here's hoping for a happy day and maybe some great songs to follow. (Friday 22 January 2016; 9:31)

AIWFCIY (58,704) by Stacey from USA The song is sheer perfection. Even family and friends of mine who can't stand MC, personally and/or professionally, can't help but groove to this song everytime it plays. This song is something special. Even after 20+ years, the song's appeal only seems to get stronger. (Sunday 27 December 2015; 7:26)

JTTW remix (58,701) by Stacey from USA JTTW is probably my second favorite MC Christmas song behind AIWFCIY. The song always gets me into the Christmas spirit. I like the radio edit, though. Short and sweet. Anyways, Merry Christmas and happy new year to you all. (Saturday 26 December 2015; 7:05)

Re: Just found a gem (58,215) (58,227) by Stacey from USA First off, I can't believe this only has 6 likes (at the time I wrote this, lol). Gem doesn't even begin to describe how awesome this track is. I wish there were studio acapella versions of all her songs. There were so many neat runs and phrases I didn't know existed. You don't notice them over the arrangements. (Sunday 6 December 2015; 7:59)
