About Edward from USA:

Mariah en Espanol (95,438) (95,442) by Edward from USA That was a great album, it was a hit in all Latin America. I've often wondered why she never tried a whole project in Spanish again, considering after "Back to Basics", which I love, she didn't have much success with any album or a hit song by herself.

Re: Mariah en Espanol (95,423) (95,431) by Edward from USA She did great considering many other artists just start singing in Spanish without even trying, but it was evident she just didn't jump in the studio, she did her homework. And nobody has talked about her Spanish version of Hero, she didn't release it with Spanish EP. (Monday 7 September 2020; 16:36)

Re: True Treacle (95,427) (95,430) by Edward from USA And this the way you're trying to score Bill? You're going to have to up the ante and include a copy of "The Mean of Mariah Carey" besides the free shipping for "The Rarities". (Monday 7 September 2020; 16:16)

Re: Do You Know (95,401) (95,406) by Edward from USA You need to decide, either Bill or Andrew. Don't be so greedy on these trying times. (Saturday 5 September 2020; 15:25)

Re: Mariah en Espanol (95,404) (95,405) by Edward from USA You've been very aggressive lately. I need to have a conversation with Eric. This abuse can't continue. We all know JLo can sing, she just doesn't like to show off. Her version of "Do You Know Where You're Going To" is a masterpiece. (Saturday 5 September 2020; 15:22)

Re: Mariah en Espanol (95,384) (95,400) by Edward from USA Hate to say it, but Jennifer's accent is definitely better, it has gotten better with time. Sometime you can't even tell she's a gringa. But the singing part, you're right, lol. (Friday 4 September 2020; 23:55)

Sweetheart non Rap (95,380) by Edward from USA I was so looking forward to listening to "Sweetheart Non-Rap Version", but as much as I can't stand JD's ass, I have to say that without his rapping the song is not the same. At least "Fantasy" can stand on its own without ODB, but not this one. "El Amor Que Soñé" actually sounds better now than when I first listened to it back then. Her accent is definitely better than on "Mi Todo", I appreciate the fact they worked on her pronunciation so she could sound decent. Mariah should've kept on releasing songs in Spanish at least one per album, she was definitely in the right direction. Music in Mexico is huge, in Latin America, if you make it in Mexico it is as if you made it in the US coming from other English speaking countries. (Friday 4 September 2020; 15:20)

Re: TMOMC (95,365) (95,369) by Edward from USA I can't believe you want to take beauty classes with Mariah's memoirs. She sucked at it. She used to do Crustella's hair, and we all know she looked like Cruella de Vil. (Thursday 3 September 2020; 22:41)

Re: Mariah stays in midnight (95,336) (95,350) by Edward from USA Ouch, Stacey. Be nice or leave. (Wednesday 2 September 2020; 17:55)

Re: Mariah stays in midnight (95,332) (95,334) by Edward from USA Randy, there's no mean-3 without you. You aren't going anywhere. If I don't see a post from you praising "Right to Dream" every once in a while, to the satisfaction of some, I'm leaving too. (Wednesday 2 September 2020; 02:41)

Re: Article: Mariah after midnight (95,319) (95,322) by Edward from USA Imagine when he reads post 95,316, he'll self-combust. (Tuesday 1 September 2020; 02:08)

Re: Article: Mariah after midnight (95,316) (95,321) by Edward from USA I'm on the floor. (Tuesday 1 September 2020; 02:05)

Re: You don’t know her (95,306) (95,313) by Edward from USA Minuscule brains tend to mistakenly send a signal to the mouth to utter massive amounts of diarrhea. It's not his fault. Later he'll complain about racism and ageism towards Mariah, a woman who is half white and middle aged too. Pay attention, he has 5 thumbs up. Never underestimate the power of stupid people in groups. (Monday 31 August 2020; 22:43)

Re: Jereministroke (95,280) (95,300) by Edward from USA His cover of "I Am Free" is epic. I'm on the floor. I can't believe he hasn't been signed to a label yet. (Monday 31 August 2020; 17:08)

Re: Jereministroke (95,280) (95,298) by Edward from USA My ears were bleeding while listening to that, but what really made my nose bled were all the comments encouraging this person to continue doing these covers in which he sounds as if he has been constipated for years. I couldn't stop laughing, but when I got to "After Tonight", my deluluness kicked in, and I became a blind fan. Now I understand some of the fans here. (Monday 31 August 2020; 17:03)

Re: Rarities tracklisting - real? (95,281) (95,285) by Edward from USA When you put it that way, I agree. (Sunday 30 August 2020; 14:41)

Re: Rarities tracklisting - real? (95,260) (95,261) by Edward from USA That track-list looks real, but if it were so, where did "All In Your Mind, Take 2" be? Why tease us with it? I don't need 'Everything Fades Away", it was already on a CD and easily available. At least "Do You Think Of Me" and "Slipping Away" were B-sides. (Friday 28 August 2020; 23:25)

Interesting (95,231) by Edward from USA According to Wikipedia, what was supposed to be disc 1, now is disc 2. Disc 1 will the one containing the rarities, and the "Save the Day" will be track 14 in it. They also removed information about writers and producers from the remaining 14 tracks, I guess so we wouldn't keep on guessing, we seem to have been on the right track. They definitely underestimated the fact long time fans would guess many of the so far unnamed tracks by that information only. They definitely read this board, lol. (Thursday 27 August 2020; 14:36)

Re: Another take on the voice (95,220) (95,226) by Edward from USA "Idk when I look at Tina, Diana, Patti, Aretha, Stevie Wonder, Lionel, Gladys, Al Green, Roberta Flack, and many others I don't see very active careers into their 70s or even into the later parts of their lives. And we all know that the amazing Aretha (RIP) did not sound the same on her final album." They might not be at their peak or even popular, but they still have active careers. Roberta Flack is 83 and is still signed to a record label. Aretha didn't sound the same, and nobody was expecting her to, but before she started struggling with pancreatic cancer, she could still sing decently. None of the artist you mentioned have officially retired. (Wednesday 26 August 2020; 21:12)

Re: Another take on the voice (95,221) (95,224) by Edward from USA Exactly, when Mariah put herself into it, she can create great music even when telling someone to GTO. (Wednesday 26 August 2020; 20:44)

Re: Another take on the voice (95,215) (95,218) by Edward from USA Well, comparing the longevity of an athlete's career to that of a singer and the way people perceive them is not like comparing apples and oranges, but rather like comparing apples and rocks. An athlete goes into his field knowing very well they would be retiring in their early thirties due to physical reasons, and it is something expected by people. Nobody would ever question why Michelle Kwan is not trying triple axles combinations professionally at 40 when everybody knows a figure ice skater is usually done by time they're 30. A singer is expected to be singing decently well enough into their 70's. Yes, things could happen to an athlete or a singer that could take them out very early on in their careers, but that's not usually what happens to most of them. Mariah Carey has always talked about longevity, and she's about longevity, she shaded Ariana Grande by wishing longevity to her with her career in a couple of interviews. She wants to be remembered by her music and her talent, she wants to keep on making music, and she wants people to recognize her and her talent, and there's nothing wrong with that. I understand her voice is not the same for whatever reason, but something has also happened to her pen game. Paradoxically, Mariah wrote more mature and cohesive lyrics when she was 20 than now when she's more mature. (Wednesday 26 August 2020; 16:00)

Re: Mariah Carey green vinyl (95,204) (95,209) by Edward from USA Come on Bill, you know Robert-Anthony will threaten anybody who volunteers besides him, you know he drools over you. He'll even ship it for free. (Tuesday 25 August 2020; 21:08)

Re: Deniece Williams (Lee and This is GHM) (95,193) (95,208) by Edward from USA Morgan confirms in this interview she inherited alcoholism and being bipolar from her mother. He's been saying that Patricia was an alcoholic for a long time now, but people just thought he was a disgruntled brother when many of the things he said have turned out to be true. I hate family betrayal, but I think Morgan at the end of the day may have ended up saving her life, sadly it took Crustella's threat for her to let the secret out. Tommy didn't make Mariah not take her meds or to mix them with alcohol either, she was diagnosed way after she had parted ways with Tommy, something Morgan also stated. Back when Mariah was working on "Always Be My Baby", she wanted to party out with JD and Da Brat but Tommy wouldn't let her, and those two weren't necessarily drinking soda pop, but Mariah had a lot to lose and Sony too, it's business. Had Tommy not controlled her a bit on that part, we would have seen a voice decline way before Butterfly. Only by smoking cigarettes, at a very young age, when Tommy wasn't in the picture, I'm talking about a 14-17 year old Mariah, she lost two octaves of her voice. She later regained them when she stopped smoking and she promised God she wouldn't ever smoke again, promised she kept, but she just promised God about smoking cigarettes, she never mentioned weed. Musical geniuses like Mariah and Michael tend to be great, but they also have their demons they have to deal with. It's nobody's fault, and nobody's perfect. I think Mariah can still regain some decent control of her voice, but the touring and alcohol indulgence have to stop. When not even in the studio you can deliver, something is very very wrong.

Re: Sadly, criticism is the main order of the day (95,188) (95,191) by Edward from USA Stacey, we don't appreciate your post. We should all be thankful and rejoice even if Mariah records her own farts with JD. She doesn't owe us anything. (Tuesday 25 August 2020; 01:08)
