About Edward from USA:

Re: Poor Rainbow, record rankings (85,776) (85,794) by Edward from USA I like "There For Me" and I would definitely switch it for "Did I Do That" on "Rainbow". The lyrics are meaningful, but the song is boring and kind of sung without soul. This is not the case with "Right To Dream" which she sings like she means it, with soul.

Re: Caution track #6 (85,723) (85,724) by Edward from USA No more excuses on this board. You're banned. (Thursday 8 November 2018; 15:33)

Re: Brenda K Starr mad Tommy / Mariah destroyed her? (85,699) (85,708) by Edward from USA Mariah ruined Brand K Starr's life. She's a life ruiner, she ruins people's lives. (Wednesday 7 November 2018; 17:38)

Re: Mariah, Mariah (85,697) (85,700) by Edward from USA Mariah told me to tell you: "Hey, I see you up there." She's been sending you the royalties for your sample, but you seemed to have moved or something. (Wednesday 7 November 2018; 12:05)

Re: Brenda K Starr mad Tommy / Mariah destroyed her? (85,675) (85,686) by Edward from USA Brenda K Starr is mad at Mariah because Mariah took her #13 hit and made it a top 5. Mariah also promised she would buy her a house, but Brenda is still waiting. (Tuesday 6 November 2018; 21:39)

Re: Bipolar and vocal issues (85,669) (85,673) by Edward from USA Happy Birthday, Licia. I hope you're having a great day. And keep in mind that God rewards with a "Charmbracelet party" to those who vote on their birthdays. (Tuesday 6 November 2018; 18:42)

Re: Bipolar and vocal issues (85,658) (85,661) by Edward from USA For her 19th #1, "Defective Earpieces". How could you've forgotten? That's like mentioning Andrew's lovers leaving Victoria out, or having a "Charmbracelet party" and not inviting Licia. Oh no you did not. (Tuesday 6 November 2018; 14:43)

Re: Abandon? (85,547) (85,554) by Edward from USA I guess she just likes the attention. And besides, she doesn't even go here. (Friday 2 November 2018; 17:23)

A No No (85,506) by Edward from USA "A No No" should've been a single, just in case, I said it first. (Thursday 1 November 2018; 11:52)

Re: Irregardless (85,477) (85,484) by Edward from USA Grethchen Wieners said: "Irregardless, ex-boyfriends are just off-limits to friends." I think Mariah clearly knows the word "irregardless" doesn't exist, but she loves pulling herself a mean-girls every now and then. (Wednesday 31 October 2018; 22:15)

Re: Lipsync in the studio (85,450) (85,453) by Edward from USA No need for that. She piecemeals every song and tracks she lips to perfectly in the studio. (Wednesday 31 October 2018; 02:23)

Re: Lips? Lol (85,431) (85,433) by Edward from USA I just think that Mariah has abused her voice so much that now it's just a little too late to expect her to quit drinking for two days and regain her voice. The woman is clearly struggling while singing, even when half of her singing is done by her backup singer and pre-recorderd tracks. Her voice could get in decent shape, but it's going to take time and work. At least most fans have gotten used to praising anything she does, lips or not do, I guess unless she sounds like a Coqui, which is a frog from Puerto Rico that can hit beautiful high notes, she would still be selling concerts and having an audience. For the moment, I'll take her word and enjoy the studio artist she's become. She definitely still sounds good on record. (Tuesday 30 October 2018; 13:05)

Re: Caution standard edition tracklist (85,428) (85,430) by Edward from USA I guess "Caution" is going to be similar to "E=MC2" not necessarily because of the similar content, but because the album is going to be full of potential singles or play as a greatest hits album. I think "Caution" has accomplished that with the tracks I've heard so far. I like GTFO, love "WY", and enjoy "TD". I think this album is going to be lacking big vocal moments though, but it's Ok, "With You" doesn't have them, and I still love it. (Tuesday 30 October 2018; 01:34)

Re: Lips? Lol (85,407) (85,408) by Edward from USA "Also it must be easy to take care of your voice when you don't have to write/produce a song." How writing and producing a song makes it harder for a person to take care of their voice? You take care of your voice by not doing things that would ruin it and by taking steps to preserve it, having professional help and a vocal coach. Celine's voice is definitely not the same, but she's doesn't struggle like Mariah. She lips, but she can still sing hell of a song. I don't see her hiding behind a posse of backup singers.

Re: Caution to feature a cover song? (85,394) (85,397) by Edward from USA A rap into "Back That Memory Lene"? Minnie Riperton would turn on her grave if such thing should happen. Unless Eminem were featured on it, then maybe, just maybe. (Sunday 28 October 2018; 15:54)

Re: Caution to feature a cover song? (85,372) (85,378) by Edward from USA "Loving You" would still be a piece of cake for Mariah to cover with her current voice, but "Back Down Memory Lane"? Well, Ms. Riperton effed that song up making it impossible for anybody else to sing it. I wouldn't want Mariah to even try it. That classic should be left untouched. (Sunday 28 October 2018; 02:54)

Re: A No No (85,365) (85,369) by Edward from USA I was just going to say that, but it could actually be "Music Box" in terms of sales. Those are her most successful albums. (Saturday 27 October 2018; 22:48)

Re: Caution to feature a cover song? (85,351) (85,353) by Edward from USA A good remake would be nice. I think it would be a good time to pay homage to Whitney with one her not so demanding songs. But if it's anything remotely close to her horrible rendition of "One More Try", I hope she doesn't even think about it. Those who actually heard "Oh She Really Tried" before releae and made her think she had done something great needed their ears cleaned. Sorry, but I waited so long for her to cover that song and then we got that. George Michael's rendition is so haunting, soulful and beautiful. (Saturday 27 October 2018; 15:41)

Re: Bryan latest Insta story (85,330) (85,332) by Edward from USA Lara, as Deedre stated, I was just joking. There wasn't anything remotely offensive with your post. The little devil in me likes to take things out of context for the laughs. (Friday 26 October 2018; 22:00)

Re: Bryan latest Insta story (85,318) (85,328) by Edward from USA Filming Mariah from the back? Eric, that post shouldn't have been posted. It's offensive to Mariah. (Friday 26 October 2018; 19:24)

Re: With You radio airplay and "The Voice" appearance (85,298) (85,327) by Edward from USA Using Marilyn as the main theme for a video is cool. "I Still Believe" was definitely a great example of that, but latching onto Marilyn's personality to create this dumb bigger than life diva persona hasn't worked for Mariah, it's done more bad than good to her career, and it's not Marilyn's fault. Marilyn didn't try to be sexy and glamorous, she didn't have to push it, she just was. When Mariah released Honey, she was sexy without pushing it, she was stunningly sexy on "Breakdown", that was the beauty of it, but that had to do with her unassuming personality. Yes, she was filthy rich, but she was humble. I hope she puts her Marilyn costume right there with the piano she owns and keeps on being more relatable. So far, this era is going as planned. It's been a long long time since any of her songs make me sing along, GTFO and "With You" have accomplished that, not even #Beautiful. So far, I'm satisfied with the three songs I've heard, not looking for perfection here, just consistent good music. At this point I don't know what has causing Mariah's voice to deteriorate so rapidly, I hope she does something about it because, if she can, she's struggling with songs that are supposed to be easy for her to sing live. (Friday 26 October 2018; 19:18)

Re: "Music Box" title track (85,317) (85,322) by Edward from USA "Music Box" is hypnotizing. That buttery voice, that tone, how she makes it sound so effortless, is really out of this world. From 3:13 to 3:18, if you have a wig, a weave, a toupee, suspicious hair plugs or some kid of hairpiece and still make it through with them still on after listening, then you're not human. Wendy Williams's wig fried on her head because of that. That's why she's nice to Mariah these days. (Friday 26 October 2018; 17:56)

Re: Caution album (85,316) (85,320) by Edward from USA The album is going to leak a week before unless they go with a digital-only release first. They can't ship physical copies of an album the same day of the release because people wouldn't get it on time and that would defeat the purpose or per-ordering it. During mass production of these CD's, there's always somebody who ends up with a copy of the album. Even in the past it was that way, but those who got their hands on a physical copy couldn't spread it around like nowadays. I got access to "Sweetener" and many other albums two weeks before, so Caution won't be an exception. With Caution though, I'll wait for my physical copy and listen to it accordingly. Enough with the snippets, Mariah, three songs are already enough. Then a week before release reveal the name of the tracks and let us die little by little till you kill us on November 16. (Friday 26 October 2018; 17:44)

Re: With You radio airplay and "The Voice" appearance (85,289) (85,294) by Edward from USA At some point Mariah believed her own hype and that caused a huge disconnect between her and the general public. The general public gave her all those number ones, not only the fans. There was also a huge disconnect between this diva persona and the lyric content of her songs. Somewhere along the way she lost her humble demeanor, her somewhat innocent attitude most people loved. Current damage control has done wonders for her, but at this point most people don't care. I hope she keeps listening to those who have given her the best public perception she's had in years. I'm so glad she seems to have given up on that Marilyn Monroe impersonation that did her more bad than good. (Thursday 25 October 2018; 21:59)

Re: Heartbreaker (85,145) (85,152) by Edward from USA Andrew, you're so negative. Remember that "Orange" is the new "Black". (Sunday 21 October 2018; 01:13)
