About Andrew from UK:

Ageism and sexism in sexuality (61,543) by Andrew from UK In re: other female artists such as Beyoncé, sexuality is represented both as being fierce and empowering. They are admired for their use of sexuality. Mariah's representation of sexuality seems to be an awkward need to feel like a desired princess, from Loverboy to Say Something to #Beautiful. For want of a better word, it's a cheaper, or more passive, form of sexuality and is, naturally, a source of derision. It has been so since the late nineties so I'm not sure where ageism is applicable. Maybe that as people get older they are expected to show more dignity and refinement? Well, that just is the way it is and when everyone else is doing it and you're not, you eventually stand for more ridicule (see Madonna). It's, also, a strange argument to say that asking someone to put their tits away is sexist. (Or reduce them to normal human sizes once more.) Sexist? Men are equally held up to certain standards in dress and behaviour and are subjected to criticisms when they fail to meet them. Men not having breasts a comparator is hard to find. But sexist it isn't. (Saturday 23 April 2016; 21:46)

The breast boob (61,512) by Andrew from UK The recent postings about Mariah wanting to be taken as seriously as MJB, et al., are interesting. Especially given the fact that it can't be true. How can somebody who [...] reveals as much of them as possible at every given opportunity (even in a bloody wet suit) mean to be taken seriously as a credible artist and not be mocked? It's about time Mariah put her breasts away. Perhaps then her fans wouldn't be mocked themselves when declaring their love for her music. Many roads lead to her having given up on real credibility in order to get qualification by feeling physically desired. It goes with many videos of her touching her breasts and/or being almost naked and/or trying to act like a sexy princess/hoochy mama. On the Adventures Of Mimi tour she was singing practically naked. Mariah may want to consider putting the girls to bed at last and acting a little more like a globally-renowned recording artist and less like an adult entertainer. Let that be the new era.

Re: Mariah's World: everything (61,483) (61,505) by Andrew from UK Haha you made a funny. You should take your meds more often. (Friday 22 April 2016; 18:13)

Re: Hero played at school (61,490) (61,495) by Andrew from UK I hope, before the kids sang it, someone made a speech about how they dont really like the song because it's schmaltzy. Just for the nostalgia. (Friday 22 April 2016; 12:51)

Re: MIAMTEC vs Butterfly (61,433) (61,477) by Andrew from UK Dearest Edward, thou art wise and fair. Butterfly is from the days of constructed albums of around ten to twelve songs, where there was seemingly a beginning, a middle and an end. MIAM follows in the trend since Emancipation of having too many songs and being a little convoluted (the latter halves of TEOM and E=MC2 could have been cut, along with most of Memoirs, simply because it's boring). On MIAM, vocals are arid in parts and strained in others (the ending of "Cry." almost ruins the song), there are lyrics lazily lifted from a decade before even sounding sung with fatigue ("You make me feeyul. Baby, we were the best"), cut-and-paste vocals which make parts incomprehensible and too uncomfortable to enjoy ("Heavenly"), vocal engineering that makes Mariah sound like a completely different person ("One More Try"), production so over complicated in places it's tiresome, and two of the worst songs ever recorded ("Thirsty" and "Supernatural"). Without even mentioning the cringeworthy title and embarrassingly overphotoshopped cover art, the album has genuine moments of genius and overall is good. However, Butterfly was fresh and exciting and is classic whereas MIAM is rehashed Mariah, sequenced slightly differently. She desperately needs to move on musically with her next project. She probably has one more opportunity to impact heavily and her recent activities suggest she may be moving towards that. She would be a fool to waste it. (Thursday 21 April 2016; 18:10)

Re: Mariah's World: everything (61,442) (61,452) by Andrew from UK Well smack my arse and call me Cindi. We actually agree on something. (Wednesday 20 April 2016; 18:16)

Re: Unpopular opinion alert (61,447) (61,451) by Andrew from UK Butterfly has the filler? I think MIAMTEC's title reflects the actual album perfectly: overly long and quite redundant in parts. So many rubbish songs that could've been cut to make a more impressive collection. Quite like Emancipation and E=MC2. The second halves of those albums bang on too much, too. In addition to the title, the artwork is also quite awful. Thou art an infidel. (Wednesday 20 April 2016; 18:12)

Re: MTV Biggest voices in pop: Top 20 (61,413) (61,432) by Andrew from UK In the early 00's, (I think it was) MTV who released a list of the 22 greatest voices of all time and Mariah came first beating Freddie Mercury into second (too much argument). I was in the audience of a chat show Mariah was on and it was mentioned to her by the host. It was pre social media, YouTube and smartphones. I fear Mariah's lip syncing will, realistically, have hurt her in any subsequent list. (Wednesday 20 April 2016; 2:12)

Re: Stella's birthday (61,415) (61,431) by Andrew from UK Todd, Mariah loves you. Juan just spoke to her and confirms. Thanks for the defence but it's okay. I chose to stop taking this so seriously a while back for many reasons. If it's rude not to tolerate what you consider to be dumb [censored] comments then rude be I, through talk of "I just know Mariah's written another number one" and "she doesn't have to sing live, she's got nothing to prove". Favourite highlights include "she's not fat, you're so rude" followed by "well done for losing weight, Mariah" lmao. I'll keep my grammar and big words though. Them being English words an' all and the language of which I have a reasonable mastery. I flick in here a couple of times a day as there are often really cool, interesting posts. And I think I would hope I am at least interesting although disagreeable. But thanks for the attention, mate, because I be craving it, obviously. Because if you don't sound like a dumb [censored], you're just trying too hard to be insightful lol. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, what on Earth are Stella's kids up to? Has Stella finally bedded MC? Will Mimi L ever get to stay at Mariah's? Will Mariah ever have a white person on stage with her again (you can almost hear the Americans screaming now, right?)? And has anybody actually gushed open Travon's neck yet? Tune in next time, babes. (Wednesday 20 April 2016; 2:01)

Re: "One Sweet Day" remake from Zach Sings Mariah (61,424) (61,429) by Andrew from UK It's good. But perhaps don't sing it in Mariah's octave. It sounds good when she does it because she's belting it and she's piercing. Sing it in your own octave, perhaps. (Wednesday 20 April 2016; 1:46)

Re: Stella's birthday (61,392) (61,401) by Andrew from UK So I figured it out. Your love for Mariah is more physical than not. You're gay for MC and you're turning into a psycho stalker killer at Stella because you're jealous. You want to move in with Mariah, you constantly post pictures of how beautiful she is etc. but you think Stella and Mariah are doing lesbian things together and this is driving you crazy. How else can your unending, unnerving, unnatural Stella stalking be explained? Your posts were interesting before. Now you're coming across as a total weirdo lol. (Monday 18 April 2016; 15:27)

Re: Stella (61,352) (61,367) by Andrew from UK There are so many B's and Billy's and M's etc on this board with rotating pix of Mariah as their avatars instead of their actual faces that sometimes I get confused as to who is whom. But I, for one, and humbly, like your recent posts. (Saturday 16 April 2016; 21:58)

Bianca and Stella (61,365) by Andrew from UK I wonder about those who cry havoc at Stella because of Bianca/Bianca's make-up (I agree with the wisdom of the poster who is aware that make-up for television is applied heavily). Would JD have been told to fix Mariah's make-up? Would Randy? Would Bianca be their fault? Wait, Stella's a woman. That's okay, then. Should we all act like teenagers and portray her as a total bitch so we can be bitchy toward her and feel justified? I honestly believe this is borderline sexism and quite uncomfortable, and cringeworthy, to read. (Saturday 16 April 2016; 21:47)

Bianca (61,355) by Andrew from UK Bringing back Bianca would be an awful, terrible, silly, pointless waste of time. Bianca is from a musical age of boybands and girlbands and bubblegum pop and Britney in a school tie and Dawson's Creek and a whole host of other worldly things. There's a reason the SSFT looks nothing like the Rainbow tour because it would be laughed at if put on now. So it follows that Bianca being in any video or documentary anywhere will not serve to help convince people Mariah is mature person and relevant artist. Looking around the O2 arena in London I would have been hard pressed to find anybody of an age that would think it don't anymore (except for some maladjusted fangirls and fangays on here). How about Mariah getting down to writing a few killer, upbeat party songs and attacking the charts with some music videos she puts a bit of time, effort and money into? Sans Bianca. Hopefully Mariah was just messing around in a wig for a laugh. (Saturday 16 April 2016; 17:08)

Re: The Emancipation Of Andrew (61,308) (61,311) by Andrew from UK Well, so now I've had my Emancipation I need a fan club. Hmm, what to call it. What to call my new fan club? "Funny B. High"? (Thursday 14 April 2016; 20:41)

Re: The Emancipation Of Andrew (61,302) (61,307) by Andrew from UK Again, so many lessons to be learned. Martyn, your emails were lovely, to you, I'm sure, but I'm not sure we are on the same wavelength. It was just a friendly thing, nothing more. I don't know where you got all those interesting ideas from. Laws are laws, mate. I wish you well. (Thursday 14 April 2016; 20:08)

Re: Stella, the brainwashing hag from the lost world (61,284) (61,298) by Andrew from UK Stella is clearing out dead wood it seems. Anybody that posts a tweet like that choreographer shouldn't be on anyone's payroll. And by the looks of it he won't be. Stella's a strong powerful woman. Where's the feminism? If she were a man doing what she's doing would he be called a "witch" and hounded on the web? Completely sexist. (Thursday 14 April 2016; 13:00)

Ode to Juan (61,286) by Andrew from UK That'll teach me to post from a pub. Two bottles of wine and my inbox suggests I shouldn't. Juan, my man, thank you for your email but, please, I don't need another one. As much as I have a sense of humour and am opinionated, you lost me at Mariah liking you because you are a prostitute and she was one, too (apparently). No. She was not. I make fun of her but it's mostly tongue-in-cheek. What a [censored] galactically absurd thing to say. I, and the Chardonnay, are actually outraged that the woman whose career I spent my life following has been reduced to that. So she gets her tits out and I make fun. Prostitute? Sit down, [censored]. You further lost me at insulting the guy who runs this website. He doesn't much like me, of that I'm sure, but he has class. If you're going to insult him, don't try to use his time to post your messages - which you are not paying him to do, incidentally. If you really are waiting for that phone call for Mariah to start an AIDS foundation with you (that's the phone call you're waiting for, apparently) then I hope waiting is something you enjoy. I don't give a flying [censored] what happened to you in your life. I may get HIV? Strange thing to say to someone to whose better nature you are trying to appeal. How bizarre. How do you know I don't already have it? It doesn't make anybody more or less deserving of time spent with an idol and it definitely doesn't give you a free pass to attack someone with a valid, coherent point about how they were cheated out of hundreds of pounds/ dollars/ euros/ yen/ golden tickets to the Wonka factory. Especially when that person is so [censored] humble and lovely about it. I was on your side. Now I'm not. Looky here, me and Eric sittin' in a tree. Thanks, but no thanks. Wish you well. (Thursday 14 April 2016; 0:26)

Stella4eva (61,281) by Andrew from UK I Stella. Stella4eva. Slay, Stella, slay. Seriously, Mariah may come across as two monkeys short of a zoo sometimes but I'm sure on some days she's actually compos mentis. So some crew don't like Stella and call her names. I'm sure she loves them right back. This is actually trolling, no? You all be haters. Word. (Wednesday 13 April 2016; 22:36)

Re: Hey hey hello (61,264) (61,275) by Andrew from UK Hah I must admit sometimes I stare at acronyms here and wonder "wtf?" Some joker put #B the other day. So in that vein, I wish MC would stop saying H is schmaltzy, she would stop singing the H remix with ME and DB and H was put into the SSFT setlist, without the jetski. Maybe even TMS (the "S" being for "shellsuit" lmao). You crack me up. If you want, email me your number and we can whatsapp: andrewjamesgold@gmail.com. (Wednesday 13 April 2016; 20:28)

Re: We can only hope (61,232) (61,251) by Andrew from UK I miss 90's Mariah's breasts. They didn't require their own area code and she only got them out on special occasions. Maybe she could put them away once in a while. A bit like her camel-toe in that black leotard. You know, "just for the nostalgia". (Tuesday 12 April 2016; 20:19)

Re: Lambs I need your input (61,222) (61,224) by Andrew from UK With all due respect, I don't need to be told when to "chime in". The truth is self-evident. Whatever you're trying to do, I'm not your puppet. Much love. (Monday 11 April 2016; 21:12)

Re: What is happening (61,191) (61,200) by Andrew from UK I'm not on FB and I left twitter. I'm living like it's 1999. Sounds shit but this way I can pretend Glitter never happened lmao. Seriously I whatsapp now and that's about it. I'm glad you found it funny: you're coming to hell with me. Currently booked onto EZY666 is you, me, everyone Mariah's ever married or dated, every manager she's ever had, oh, and your friends from the Daily Mail comments section. (Sunday 10 April 2016; 19:33)

Re: What is happening (61,180) (61,187) by Andrew from UK Martyn, you know you just jealous that someone else got to "deposit on Mariah" and you didn't, babes. Well, her Alison's probably on Truvada and it's not getting her a meet-and-greet anytime soon lmao too much? I'm going to hell. (Saturday 9 April 2016; 18:56)

Re: Article: Meeting Mariah (61,167) (61,178) by Andrew from UK Haven't been to bed. Can really see straight. But can't believe it. Gotta be a joke. (Saturday 9 April 2016; 8:54)
