About T from USA :

Doug Stone or Andy Stone? (100,398) by T from USA I read articles that it was a song from Andy Stone in 1989 but I can't find it anywhere. I do see a Doug Stone titled song called All I Want For Christmas Is You 1992 which does have a ton of the same themes as Mariah's song ends up having. Even the way he sings the last line of the chorus is similar to how Mariah ends up doing it. But Doug Stone isn't even the one suing her. Who is Andy Stone? (Monday 6 June 2022; 02:44)

Just an opinion AIWFCIY (100,392) by T from USA I heard Doug Stone's 1992 song All I Want For Christmas Is You. And I have to say I could see how a gifted lyricist like Mariah could take it and make it a million times more relatable. The guy released the song on Columbia Nashville records, is it so hard to believe that Tommy having access to it, stole it and gave it to Mariah after convincing her to do a Christmas song in the first place? He is the same man that a few years later did that exact same thing in regards to Loverboy. And we blame JLo with little to no proof. Tommy took the whole concept right down to the Firecracker sample. Mariah may not have even been aware of his dirty dealings back in 1994. I hope she wasn't. (Sunday 5 June 2022; 16:19)

Re: Why does the Billboard article credit Mariah on BE? (100,245) (100,249) by T from USA Mariah should totally be credited on BER. Her original is so instrumental in the asking of the song in the first place, plus the fact that the remix is the reason imo that it even went top 5 at all, seeing how the sales skyrocketed after the remix came out. Mariah always seems to have to work overtime to allow people to see her genius. (Saturday 7 May 2022; 04:26)

Re: Ironic (100,244) (100,248) by T from USA Thanks Matty. I only want the best for MC. Always and forever. (Saturday 7 May 2022; 04:21)

Re: Did Mariah actually write The Roof (100,238) (100,240) by T from USA It was a serious question. I always thought she wrote [...]. I was just wondering why on her official YouTube channel which she approves I'm assuming, every song lists her as a writer. Except [...]. And it's not an oversight as there is about six other names under lyric writers. Just not hers. (Wednesday 4 May 2022; 03:27)

Re: Did Mariah actually write The Roof (100,228) (100,229) by T from USA I do. I care. (Friday 29 April 2022; 17:53)

Re: Did Mariah actually write The Roof (100,227) (100,228) by T from USA On YouTube, which is taken right from her official page, it says "lyricists" but it has everyone's name but hers. [Webmaster: Who cares?] (Friday 29 April 2022; 14:40)

Re: Did Mariah actually write The Roof (100,223) (100,224) by T from USA I see that. But why on her official YouTube channel it lists four different writers but none are her? Does her management upload the videos or Sony? Either way, with millions of views on the video it gives the impression to anyone who checks that she didn't write it at all. I always assumed she was the sole writer, but now I'm not so sure. (Thursday 28 April 2022; 13:50)

Did Mariah actually write The Roof (100,222) by T from USA I was on her official YouTube upload for [The Roof (back in time)], and when I click the more info arrow it gives all the songs credits including all the writers but Mariah's name is nowhere to be found. Am I missing something? (Wednesday 27 April 2022; 20:08)

Giving Me Life feat Brandy (100,220) by T from USA After hearing how Brandy elevated The Roof just simply with her background vocals it made me wonder what could've happened if Mariah got her to do backgrounds on Giving Me Life for the Caution album. It would have taken an already stellar song to the next level. (Tuesday 26 April 2022; 22:23)

Re: Mariah credited in UK and Oz (100,187) (100,188) by T from USA The original has already passed the remix on sales. That means it is ahead in sales, streams and radio airplay. There is virtually no chance she will get the credit now on Billboard. The label should have pushed harder two weeks ago. (Saturday 16 April 2022; 14:09)

Re: Mariah's next number one (100,154) (100,155) by T from USA Bring back Walter Afanasieff while you're at it. (Thursday 14 April 2022; 12:34)

Re: Billboard Hot 100 (100,138) (100,140) by T from USA Well ARIA charts (in Australia) have confirmed that Mariah will only be credited if the label contact them. So I don't know how much more proof you need? This is not a high profile court case lol. [Webmaster: What do the ARIA charts in Australia have to do with Billboard? Still no sources.] (Tuesday 12 April 2022; 14:12)

Re: Billboard Hot 100 (100,136) (100,138) by T from USA It's not what I'm reading. I'm reading that RCA has the ability to credit Mariah if they choose. But it would take a little persuading. [Webmaster: You often claim things, but when people ask for your sources, you never give them.] (Tuesday 12 April 2022; 13:10)

Re: Billboard Hot 100 (100,134) (100,135) by T from USA I don't think that will happen. No credit. (Tuesday 12 April 2022; 02:34)

Re: Billboard Hot 100 (100,129) (100,131) by T from USA Predictions are that it will remain at #3 but it's only the original that's at #3. Even though we all know it's the remix with Mariah that got it so high in the first place. (Monday 11 April 2022; 13:46)

Re: Stella would've gotten her credited (100,118) (100,119) by T from USA Stella was a pit bull. Say what we want, it was clear she stuck up for Mariah and made sure Mariah got her coins. The bad part of Stella was she was also very self serving. Mariah's version of the song is what made it #1 on the sales charts and added to huge playlists yet she was not credited even when it reached #3 on the Hot 100. Billboard stated they would need a letter of request from the RCA label and yet so far that has not happened. Stella would've bullied her name on it. (Sunday 10 April 2022; 14:12)

Stella would've gotten her credited (100,115) by T from USA Seems like Mariah will never get a credit on the Big Energy song. I would wish RCA would fight harder for her. She deserves it. (Saturday 9 April 2022; 23:30)

Re: Big big fantasy (100,058) (100,061) by T from USA Mariah is [a] genius because she basically just swallowed this whole song while keeping Fantasy's reputation in tact. (Wednesday 30 March 2022; 19:33)

I'm gunna do a remix (100,043) by T from USA Instead of that long whistle at the beginning she should've sung the famous line "I'm gunna do a remix" in a tribute to ODB. Then DJ Khalid could've jumped in with his shouting hype. That's the only thing I would've changed. Save the whistle high not for the end. I understand keeping the iconic verse but maybe the second part could've been updated to reflect the current times. Oh when you walk by every night Talking sweet and looking fine I get kinda hectic inside Baby after all these years I'm still into you my dear You're no longer just in my mind And it's just a sweet sweet (Tuesday 29 March 2022; 13:52)

Re: Any news (99,972) (99,973) by T from USA I would love if the Butterfly Lounge is separate from MC16. It would be cool if she has a new album called "Sweet Sixteen" of all new music, and then in September on the anniversary of Butterfly she can release the documentary of Butterfly on a streaming service with the duets she created in the lounge. (Wednesday 23 March 2022; 17:02)

Re: Memoirs is an attempt at Butterfly II (99,953) (99,956) by T from USA I wouldn't call it a party album. It's more of a mood album. I think the closest she gets to party album is the one that came before Memoirs. Still I don't think he has yet released a full on party album. (Sunday 20 March 2022; 22:31)

Re: Memoirs is an attempt at Butterfly II (99,943) (99,950) by T from USA One of the professional reviews compared Memoirs to Rainbow I guess due to the banging first single right down to all the interludes. I find it's a mix of Butterfly, Rainbow and Charmbracelet so basically it's Mariah. It's probably the most Mariah she's ever been on one album now that we know her so well. I guess that's what happens when you only work with one person, it gives you a chance for your own personality to come out more. I like it. I wish it was shortened to 12 songs like Butterfly and maybe it would be a little stronger like in 1997. 1. Betcha 2. Obsessed 3. Hate U 4. Candy Bling 5. Ribbon 6. Inseparable 7. Standing O 8. It's a Wrap 9. The Impossible 10. H.A.T.E.U. Remix 11. Languishing 12. I Want To Know What Love Is (Sunday 20 March 2022; 14:04)

Re: MC trousers (99,869) (99,871) by T from USA With You music video. (Tuesday 8 March 2022; 03:08)

These plans were started in 2017 (99,868) by T from USA I remember this article where Mariah was slowly braking from Stella and she renegotiated her contract with LA Reid and Sony setting up a label called Butterfly MC Records and the first order of business was an intimate Butterfly tour where she celebrates its 20th anniversary by performing the whole album. It was a way to reintroduce Butterfly to the general public and new audience. Of course, shortly after LA Reid was out of Sony and plans changed where she recorded Caution the very next year instead. I guess she never forgot about the idea and is doing something special for the 25th. (Monday 7 March 2022; 21:19)
