About Edward from USA:

Re: MC’s Range Media has ties to TM (98,943) (98,945) by Edward from USA You will pay for such a post. If you consider yourself to be a true lamb, you have to act like one, a little Coo Coo for Cocoa Puffs. (Monday 15 November 2021; 00:58)

Re: Mariah McDonald's (98,907) (98,910) by Edward from USA The rumors about Mariah's net wealth have always been internet speculations. When all of us thought she was worth 500M, the court documents that surfaced during her divorce process stated she was worth about 150M. Mariah might not be pulling in money from concerts, but she's doing well, believe me. Only with the royalties from AIWFCIY, she's set for life, and that's just part of the cake. I do agree though that not all money is good money, but at the end of the day, it's business. People'll forget about it just like when Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, Justin Timberlake, Destiny's Child and many others did. (Wednesday 10 November 2021; 22:28)

Re: Babyface (98,887) (98,894) by Edward from USA None of the songs he created with Mariah were hits, but they were great. A hit song doesn't necessarily mean a song is good either. At this point in Mariah's career, she should be creating great music, she's had enough hits under her skirt already. (Tuesday 9 November 2021; 20:26)

Too much hype (98,868) by Edward from USA According to the way Mariah was hyping up this song, one could've inferred she had a hidden gem or something. When editing out anything after the minute 3:35, I make the song somewhat passable. Sadly, evidenced by whatever is happening in this song vocally, Mariah has kind of turned into a "one trick whistle". I know I'll be crucified before Thanksgiving here, but there's no way Tony would've allowed her to put this song out, but oh well. It is what it's not. (Saturday 6 November 2021; 20:46)

And isn't ironic, don't you think? (98,753) by Edward from USA Mariah could've made a great song to add to her "#1's" album yet she accompanied her greatest hits with such a piece of crap like Infinity. For me, "#1 to Infinity" doesn't exist. She did the same with "The Rarities", so many gems, but the best she could come up with was "Save The Day". I'm sorry, but as boring and samey as some of you might think "Easy On Me" is, I would prefer a song like it any day over those two. Being a fan hasn't made blind to crap. "Right to Dream", "Help Me Make it", "Almost Home", I crave the quality of her music in those songs. But maybe that's too saccharine for her. (Saturday 16 October 2021; 21:03)

Re: Easy on me (98,748) (98,752) by Edward from USA I love "Easy On Me", Adele has a very unique and soulful voice. It is not a power ballad a la "Hello", but it has its beautiful vocal moments that makes you feel connect to what she's singing. She doesn't have to change her formula if it's working great for her, she's making the music she likes instead of following trends that would get her fanbase scattered long term. I love the fact she doesn't rely on anything other than her voice, instrumentation and songwriting. Her being fat or thin doesn't matter. I liked her music but wasn't a fan until "Hello" and its corresponding album. I like when Mariah makes an effort and allow some sort of input. "Almost Home" was one of the her best side projects that captured 90's Mariah perfectly. It was so Mariah, that most of us couldn't believe she didn't write it. I don't care if Mariah disappears for a few years as long as she comes back with some well cook music. Hopeful this new Christmas song is not another "The Planet'. She's been working on it for quite sometime, hopefully she'll deliver. (Saturday 16 October 2021; 20:18)

Re: Hero 2021 (98,673) (98,674) by Edward from USA Vocally, I doubt it. Lyrically, definitely. (Thursday 30 September 2021; 17:21)

Re: Kelly Clarkson (98,664) (98,665) by Edward from USA Are you implying iTunes should be sacrosanct to the lambs or this board? Jussie Smollett sung "Infamous" with Mariah, I guess he's not guilty, right? Child please. (Tuesday 28 September 2021; 15:31)

Re: Kelly Clarkson (98,660) (98,662) by Edward from USA What is iTunes? I thought they had gone away back in 2015. (Sunday 26 September 2021; 15:21)

Re: Rarities 2 (98,648) (98,649) by Edward from USA I can't believe you never watched the horror movie "Glitter", with Mariah as the screaming queen and Da Brat as the devil. (Thursday 23 September 2021; 17:17)

Re: Did anybody catch the shade? (98,621) (98,625) by Edward from USA Mariah doesn't have to emphasize anything to show her kids or anybody how good of a mother she is, she was being shady, that comment was simply uncalled for, especially knowing Nick is not her effing husband. It's not like he'll be shoving his tribe of kids and baby mamas down her throat. We know Mariah is a great mother by her actions, evidenced by how happy and well taken care of her kids are, period. As Stacey stated, whether she likes it or not, those kids are her kids' siblings and always will be. Trying to justify a comment like that with some explanation that seemed to have been pulled out of someone's ass doesn't cut it. I'm pretty sure if Mariah put a collection of farts in the studio, we would all find the beauty in them, and some would emphasize how even when farting she's in perfect pitch. (Sunday 19 September 2021; 19:09)

Re: Did anybody catch the shade? (98,616) (98,617) by Edward from USA Some people find it funny and stuff, but to me that comment was rather disgusting, because she's basically saying she doesn't acknowledge, and is incapable of loving, any other kids besides hers, which is patheric and ridiculous. But oh well, if Mariah said it, it's funny, cool, deep and all. (Saturday 18 September 2021; 19:38)

Re: Lambs (98,607) (98,608) by Edward from USA What do you mean by "the voice is back"? (Tuesday 14 September 2021; 19:57)

Re: MC16 (98,567) (98,569) by Edward from USA I think she'll release some music, but not a full album at this point and so close to Christmas. I like the fact she's not rushing it, so there's not excuse for a 10-track album or anything lackluster. I would prefer if she releases MC16 next year. The fact she hasn't been touring or been pressured by her label tells me she's crafting a very decent album, with remixes and all. She's had nearly two year, in which she hasn't had any major distractions other than eating sushi. (Wednesday 1 September 2021; 21:06)

Re: Article: Mariah thinks Nick Cannon is "irresponsible and reckless" (98,486) (98,488) by Edward from USA Nick Cannon having all those babies is not good for business. Imagine having to give free pass to Mariah future concerts to all those screaming babies and their respective baby mamas. She wouldn't make a profit. It's not fair. (Tuesday 3 August 2021; 19:11)

Re: The Rolling Stone Charts (98,464) (98,467) by Edward from USA "But why are Celine and Madonna cashing in on tours, getting huge crowds willing to pay good money to see them in concert, but not streaming them while they are at home?" Well, Madonna has always cashed in with her touring. Her tours are huge productions, visually enticing. People go for the nostalgia and because they know they won't ever get bored, she's a true entertainer. Celine has a core fanbase, not only in English but in French too. She's definitely the Barbra Streisand of this era. Nobody is buying her music like that, but she's earned people's respect as a great vocalist, and she always catered to the adult contemporary listeners. She's considered to be classy.

Re: American Idol performance (98,459) (98,462) by Edward from USA It's not necessarily her approach, production works that way fior them to have different takes from different angles. I was fortunate have been there when "With You I'm Born Again" was taped, it was sung twice, and then production pieced together the performance from different angles, of course they used the best audio, so it could seem she's lipping when she's not. It was a great peformance, kind of magical. They also picked those of us whom they considered were better dressed and pleasing to the camera and put them on the first three rows. Of course they didn't tell us that, but that's the way it works. The same happened when she entered the stage for "It's Like That". (Thursday 29 July 2021; 22:45)

An experiement? (98,454) by Edward from USA I enjoyed Caution very much, but I've always said it was lacking vocally. I don't care if it was critical acclaimed, but everybody expected at least a power ballad or something. If she couldn't do it in the studio, I would understand, but at this point, people don't care. She should give us her remaining fans those songs and power ballads that got us under her spell. She can then lip the difficult parts in concert, it's not like she hasn't been doing that for years now. "Portrait" is a favorite of mine, but even though she didn't attempt at doing anything impressive vocally on it, one could hear her voice wasn't in a good place. Strangely, I didn't hate the album, I played the hell out of it. As for "Where Are You Christmas", she didn't get to record it in the 90's, so trying it now wouldn't top Faith Hill's. I think she should leave it at that. (Tuesday 27 July 2021; 23:08)

Re: Mariah's World (98,431) (98,434) by Edward from USA Mimi L., I knew I could count on you. I'll have to find a way to put it on a VHS, Granny is old school and she doesn't trust streaming or can understand how a whole VHS could fit into a disc. Please don't judge her, she's 93. (Saturday 24 July 2021; 21:15)

Mariah's World (98,430) by Edward from USA Granny saw an episode of Mariah's World last night and loved it. She asked me if it was ever going to be released on VHS. Any update on that? Please, those who loved it like Mimi L and Ribbon, could you provide any updates? (Saturday 24 July 2021; 18:59)

Re: Mariah (98,411) (98,415) by Edward from USA If all the baby mamas put their kids first, they should all get along. After all, they're family. I think that the only thing Mariah wants from Nick is for him to be a good father to her kids, and I think he's accomplished it so far. Maybe the other baby mamas might worry about money and stuff, but they should all deal with Nick in that case. No reason for any of them to have beef with Mariah. (Thursday 22 July 2021; 03:36)

Re: Mariah (98,409) (98,410) by Edward from USA Mariah grew up with two horrible siblings by her side. That's why Nick is making sure Roc and Roe are surrounded by 20 good siblings. There's nothing like a huge family full of love and baby mamas enjoying the same Cannon. After all, in polygamy there are usually 4 or 5 baby mamas popping kids as if they were pop corn and they all get along. (Thursday 22 July 2021; 01:37)

Re: The elephant in the room (98,388) (98,399) by Edward from USA Celine, the Keto Queen? I'm dead! (Tuesday 20 July 2021; 01:12)

Re: The elephant in the room (98,384) (98,386) by Edward from USA It would've been, had I said Celine lost hers due to Anorexia, but I didn't. Denying Mariah alcohol abuse in the past is like denying Crapfinity is crap. During her pregnancy, her voice recovered a lot, and not because she was singing with six lungs. (Sunday 18 July 2021; 16:52)

The elephant in the room (98,375) by Edward from USA Way before the recording of Butterfly, Mariah's marriage to Tommy was over. Her voice didn't change due to stress or whatever, we all know she was out and about drinking and smoking weed. She rid herself from the tentacles of Tommy, but that same action made her fall into another trap, alcohol. Tommy with his controlling ways make sure Mariah took care of her asset, but once she set herself free, she started doing all those things she always wanted to do but wasn't allowed to. It's both their fault in a way. Mariah for wilding out of control and Tommy for suppressing her by not letting her live her life like any other young woman her age would have done. If there had been a healthy balance, we would be singing a different tune. By the time Butterfly was recorded, Mariah was, in my humble opinion, creatively at her best, she was effing Derek Jeter, he inspired some of her best work, so, stressed she wasn't, it was as if she had come out the cocoon, free, beautiful, different, exuberant, it was delightful to experience her metamorphosis, You don't make an album like Butterfly under stress. The stress came after when she to tried to leave Sony and Tommy started sabotaging her hence her nervous breakdown, but that was after Rainbow. Whitney's voice succumbed to her drug use, and Mariah's to her misrepresented splashes. It is what it is. At this point complaining or pointing fingers won't bring her voice back. Her recordings during the pandemic, in which she's at home and with complete control of everything, evidenced an unrepairable instrument. Sad, but true. I'll take another album like Caution though, I don't think she's capable of doing anything better than that, at least voicewise. I would like to be proven wrong. (Saturday 17 July 2021; 22:01)
