About Edward from USA:

Re: Mariah "Care One Child" (97,674) (97,679) by Edward from USA "Care One Child", was that a bonus track I didn't know anything about? (Tuesday 23 March 2021; 20:18)

Re: Bey gets her 28th Grammy (97,591) (97,594) by Edward from USA Stacey, most of the videos of her performance you see on YouTube have been corrected, but that's not the way it went down. Right at the end, when she's about to sing the word "brave", she lips out of sync. I can't believe you can't remember that. (Tuesday 16 March 2021; 17:02)

Re: Bey gets her 28th Grammy (97,584) (97,587) by Edward from USA She wasn't on the list because she sung the National Anthem which is not the same as the half-time main performance. As much as I love her rendition of the National Anthem, her inability to lipsync for her life left her exposed. Everybody thought it was live until... Well, Christina did worse, she screamed like a dying goat and forgot the lyrics, lol. (Monday 15 March 2021; 20:23)

Re: Talking of the 90's (97,573) (97,578) by Edward from USA Eric used to change things around every once in a while, but I guess he must be busy or something. It is true Eric, we need a new look. (Sunday 14 March 2021; 16:08)

Re: Cover (97,506) (97,507) by Edward from USA I think Mariah should go back to basics by writing her own lyrics, and collaborating with a real musician, like a pianist or something. She should keep it simple production wise too. Even though Caution is not my favorite album of hers, it is definitely an album I've enjoyed a lot. I still think she's a musical genius. Interpolating the recoding from "Trading Places" into "Giving Me Life" was very creative and different. It's good she realized the album was kind of short, hopefully we'll get a 14 track album next time, a fun album. (Saturday 27 February 2021; 22:29)

Re: Cover (97,497) (97,504) by Edward from USA "I Wanna Know What Love Is" was a decent cover, but after how she destroyed "One More Try" and considering the state of her current voice, I would rather she doesn't mess with the classics. Only if she's going to stich it all together perfectly in the studio. (Saturday 27 February 2021; 16:16)

Re: My ranking of Mariah's albums (97,456) (97,460) by Edward from USA I agree. I remember when she started hating "Hero" and all of a sudden the herd started going with her narrative, saying "Hero" was this and that. Then she convenientely started loving "Hero" again, and the herd did the same. "Almost Home" was a glimmer of hope at her recovering her voice since she sounded so good in it. The song is structured in a way that anybody could've been fooled she wrote it, and then she said she didn't like it either. Guess what happened? the herd once again followed through. I actually enjoyed Caution a lot, but to rank it in her top 7 albums is beyond believe to me. But then again, that's me. At this point, I do really want to hear Mariah belt again, even if it's only in the studio on tracks she won't ever sing live. She's been doing that for a long time anyway.

Re: WBT Valentine's mix (97,398) (97,405) by Edward from USA Andrew, only those lacking Qtips in their homes could debate that. I have made my peace with it. I actually thought the pandemic had restored her voice to some above decent state, but it's evident the damage is beyond vocal coaches and humidifiers. At this point, it is what it is.

Re: Ryan and Kelly show, thank you, next (97,029) (97,035) by Edward from USA I couldn't agree with you more. Making an album for Mariah will cost her more than the profit she'll make from it. She'll do it because of her love of music and probably to go on tour, but she won't be making real money. I think we'll be seeing more 10-track albums, but not as frequent. As for this fan-paranoia thinking everybody is trying to block Mariah from breaking or tying The Beatles, of course The Beatles' fans wouldn't want her to, but then again we didn't want anybody to break her OSD record either. Mariah is not popular like that anymore, basically nobody is buying her music so she has less of a chance to accomplish that unless she comes with some great music and a hot collabo to back her up. It is as simple as that. If there were a force behind trying to stop her, AIWFCITY wouldn't have made it to #1 for three weeks after 24 years and then keep going strong again this year. Great music is great music, but since radio plays what's hot and young at the moment, Mariah not only needs great music but also a helping hand. I do strongly believe Mariah will have a proper duet with Ariana, and they'll go to #1. The music industry as it was doesn't exist anymore and they don't have the same control they used to, not even radio. So, everything is in the hand of the general public streaming what's popular and who's hot at the moment. She's so close though, I can even salivate it. (Friday 25 December 2020; 02:05)

Re: Win a video call with Mariah Carey through Geojam (96,988) (96,989) by Edward from USA Drew, very interesting choice of songs. I would ask her to sing to me "TTEOT", "Petals" and Definitely "Butterfly". When I first heard "Butterfly" it was surreal to me, she really poured her heart into it, not only lyrically, but melodically and musically. If that were to happen, I would die happy. (Saturday 19 December 2020; 16:54)

Re: Daley - My All (96,979) (96,987) by Edward from USA I think it was you who introduced Daley to me many years ago here, and I've loved his music ever since. He's beyond talented. I love "Time Travel". His cover of "My All" is just great. Hopefully he finally gets the respect he so musically deserves. (Saturday 19 December 2020; 15:23)

Re: AIWFCIY finally hits #1 in the UK (96,966) (96,970) by Edward from USA Robert, good to know you're negative and doing good! What a year this has been. Hopefully we have a better 2021. (Thursday 17 December 2020; 14:49)

Re: AIWFCIY finally hits #1 in the UK (96,959) (96,964) by Edward from USA Thank you Andrew for your good wishes. Happy holidays to you too. (Wednesday 16 December 2020; 23:06)

Re: AIWFCIY finally hits #1 in the UK (96,951) (96,963) by Edward from USA Deedre, I'm back home and feeling better. (Wednesday 16 December 2020; 23:04)

Re: AIWFCIY finally hits #1 in the UK (96,944) (96,946) by Edward from USA Stacey, I'm actually hospitalized but almost on my way home in a day or two. It was tough but the worst is over. Thanks for your nice words. And I really couldn't laugh. Lol. (Tuesday 15 December 2020; 01:44)

Re: AIWFCIY finally hits #1 in the UK (96,917) (96,929) by Edward from USA I got Covid, don't make me laugh, I can't. (Sunday 13 December 2020; 15:32)

Re: I'm back (96,847) (96,855) by Edward from USA If that's how you think you will destroy Andrew, it's very evident you must be on crack or something. (Sunday 6 December 2020; 18:39)

Re: Oh Santa! collab (96,822) (96,825) by Edward from USA Considering there wasn't much to do with "Oh Santa" in terms of adding two other artists to the mix, I'm pleasantly surprised. I actually enjoy it. Hopefully Mariah can return the favor to Ariana and engage in a proper duet with her. (Friday 4 December 2020; 23:05)

Re: JD produced the new Oh Santa (96,769) (96,771) by Edward from USA You might be surprised, Mariah has been stigmatized, she's been black and white. I suspect she'll choose to be blackish on this one. I'm worried about JD talking over it. (Wednesday 2 December 2020; 17:24)

Oh Santa? (96,721) by Edward from USA Today I've listened to "Oh Santa" a few times, just to have an idea what three people singing it would be like. It is definitely a very busy song, like too much happening at the same time. Unlike AIWFCIY, it's kind of a song difficult to sing along with. It's going to be interesting to see who will be singing what on the song. Unless they actually rework the song, I'm a little bit nervous about the final product. Hopefully this is not a last minute cut and paste effort and that they had enough time to create some magic in the studio. (Tuesday 24 November 2020; 22:19)

Re: (96,682) (96,685) by Edward from USA Your deluluness is beyond believe if you think Mariah can outsing Jennifer Hudson. She can take 20 days of vocal rest, send the twins on vacation, be as confident a she can be, and she won't even come close. Being a fan is one thing, being clearly in Delu-land is something else. While I prefer Mariah's voice any day due to its versatility and nuances, Jennifer Hudson's voice is way more powerful as Whitney's was. Her voice would drown Mariah's at her prime, imagine now. (Friday 20 November 2020; 01:53)

Re: O Santa? O Mariah (96,674) (96,679) by Edward from USA B, let's be real here. Mariah's current voice couldn't outsing Ariana's. It is what it is. I don't know if you have noticed, but since Caution, Mariah has avoided anything that remotely resembles a belt. Mariah at her age would've definitely blown her away though. (Thursday 19 November 2020; 18:43)

Re: Oh Santa! fun Ariana Grande and Jennifer Hudson (96,670) (96,676) by Edward from USA Even though she never mentioned having recorded her own version/demo before, that would definitely be a treat a la "Out Here On My Own". She had never talked about her version of "I Pray" either, so one can inly dream. I hope your husband is doing better. (Thursday 19 November 2020; 16:00)

Re: Andrew (96,604) (96,605) by Edward from USA He should've known better. Lol. (Thursday 12 November 2020; 22:32)
