About Todd from Sydney, Australia: My Jack Russell is fond of Infinity

Re: GTFO rollout (83,842) (83,848) by Todd from Sydney, Australia Similarly in this part of the world. I was living in New Zealand when WBT came out, and Mariah hadn't been on the radio since the Rainbow era, with Heartbreaker and then the Westlife version of "Against All Odds". #1's, Glitter and Charmbracelet went unnoticed down here. As did "It's Like That". It wasn't until WBT came out that the public started enjoying her music again. It continued with "Shake it Off", "Don't Forget About Us", "Touch My Body", and then died a quick death with "Bye Bye". Even "Obsessed" didn't get much of a look in.

Re: How Bout You GTFO (83,672) (83,673) by Todd from Sydney, Australia Hmmm. Open mind. If Jay-Z likes it. Hope it's not "I Don't" #2. (Wednesday 12 September 2018; 03:29)

How Bout You GTFO (83,657) by Todd from Sydney, Australia I just read online that her new single is rumoured to be called "How Bout You GTFO". Number one - it's About. Not 'bout. Number two - GFTO? On Mileyriah Carey no. Hopefully this is just a vicious rumour. (Tuesday 11 September 2018; 14:26)

Re: She should've paid attention to us (83,581) (83,585) by Todd from Sydney, Australia I think I would rather get out of a controlling relationship and suffer professionally, than stay in one and be successful. The expectation of anything else is ridiculous and kinda creepy. (Tuesday 4 September 2018; 08:09)

Re: With You I'm Born Again (83,519) (83,521) by Todd from Sydney, Australia You can just google "YouTube to MP3" and save any video as an MP3. (Thursday 30 August 2018; 10:53)

Re: Beach pictures (83,423) (83,424) by Todd from Sydney, Australia Probably about the same amount as whatever she's doing in October. We are a facetious and sarcastic bunch in this corner of the world - I mean no harm, Antipodean. (Tuesday 21 August 2018; 14:16)

Beach pictures (83,420) by Todd from Sydney, Australia I can't see them through all the scheduling conflicts blocking the view. (Tuesday 21 August 2018; 08:41)

Bon voyage Aretha (83,393) by Todd from Sydney, Australia Sigh. Here we have yet another example of a singer that a week ago, had you called your local station to request a song by, you'd be laughed away. Today, that station would have been talking about what a legend she was, and dropping her songs in amongst on the Taylor Sheerans and the Demi Gomezs of the world. I think it is so shit that people are never around to hear how much they were truly adored. (Friday 17 August 2018; 14:04)

Re: Cancelling Oz (83,361) (83,363) by Todd from Sydney, Australia It definitely wasn't due to ticket sales. A mate of mine decided to come along, and bought tickets a couple weeks ago. The best she could get was at the very back of the third level of the arena. So she should be aware that she's disappointed stadiumfuls of people here. (Monday 13 August 2018; 23:01)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey's October tour to Australia postponed (83,342) (83,343) by Todd from Sydney, Australia It's hardly surprising. There has been absolutely zero promo for this. And that mole Stella arranged it, originally in horrific venues, so I suspect it was something she never wanted to do. Either that or she read what the Australian press have been saying about her since she split with their golden child Jimmy Packer. At this stage the refund is more exciting than the concert.

Re: Demi Lovato is a complete idiot (83,317) (83,322) by Todd from Sydney, Australia What I can not stand is that people are referring to Demi has being "so strong" and "courageous" in her fight against substances. Wrong. It's not glamourous, nor should it be celebrated. Everything she is going through is the direct result of a bad choice she's made at some point. I have a massive weak spot for a cigarette every now and again. Not because of my upbringing/lifestyle/God-plan (lol), but because I tried smoking when I was 16. Also, the double standards here are sickening. 2001: Mariah heads to rehab because she's worked herself into the ground - career basically dead and buried for 5 years. 2018: Twerp woman uses drugs, almost dies, is lauded a hero, and her coincidentally named drivel of a track "Sober" is on constant rotation. I save my sympathy for people that are deserving of it. (Tuesday 7 August 2018; 14:23)

Do you think (83,228) by Todd from Sydney, Australia That Mariah lets her kids listen to current pop songs? I have nieces and nephews their age, and they are obsessed with Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Demi Lovato, Ed Sheeran and the likes. So I wonder if her kids are all "Mummy (or Mommy), put on 'No Tears Left To Cry' again." (Monday 23 July 2018; 09:52)

Re: Studio singer subject (82,976) (82,979) by Todd from Sydney, Australia I'd never seen that VOL performance before. That's awesome. That's my favourite MC vocal tone and timbre right there. Right thurr. (Wednesday 4 July 2018; 23:10)

Current songs and albums (82,836) by Todd from Sydney, Australia Because we are all moderately fond of Mariah, I wonder if that means we all have similar tastes in music? What songs/albums from 2018 are you guys enjoying? I really like "Voicenotes" by Charlie Puth, and my latest song obsessions are "Never Ever" by the Rubens (sometimes just on repeat), and "Pray for Me" by the Weeknd. (Sunday 17 June 2018; 09:12)

Re: Greatest Mariah performance ever (?) (82,833) (82,835) by Todd from Sydney, Australia My personal favourite is "You and I" at the Stevie Wonder tribute. But if it has to be a MC song, then probably "Through the Rain" at the AMAs. (Sunday 17 June 2018; 09:06)

Re: feeding hungry kids (82,583) (82,585) by Todd from Sydney, Australia Go on and preach muh brotha (Wednesday 30 May 2018; 13:57)

Re: Album delayed (82,546) (82,550) by Todd from Sydney, Australia The only mention of Mariah's new album has been on her social media. The general public are completely unaware of any album's potential existence, let alone the delays. I mentioned to my Mum the other day I was seeing her in concert later in the year, and the response was "Oh - is she still going?" My mother, despite what she thinks, very rarely has her finger on the pulse but in this instance I think she shares the masses' thoughts. I guess the silver lining on the cloud of "pop stars of time gone by" is that when she comes out with something completely awesome, which I believe she will, there will be an element of surprise for most. We, on the other hand, will know its track listing and be complaining about artwork before it's even available. (Monday 28 May 2018; 10:29)

Re: Whitney Houston (82,524) (82,529) by Todd from Sydney, Australia I've never enjoyed her live performances, mainly because she speak-sings outside of the studio. And it's cheating. Post 2000, her interviews were fairly obnoxious. Oprah should have got all Wendy Williams on her ass and put her in her place. (Saturday 26 May 2018; 10:14)

Re: Mariah in Blackpool (82,377) (82,380) by Todd from Sydney, Australia I mentioned it to some mates in London and Manchester, and they said, "Yeah she'll love it there. It's trashy chavvy central." (Saturday 12 May 2018; 04:06)

Re: Accelerate (82,329) (82,331) by Todd from Sydney, Australia I didn't know she had a new song out. I just listened to it, and it makes "I Don't" sound like Hotel California. What could she have been thinking to listen to that and go "Yep. That's perfect. Release it." (Monday 7 May 2018; 22:42)

MIAM (81,967) by Todd from Sydney, Australia So the other day I was driving around and my phone had died so couldn't listen to (non-radio) music. First world problem. But anyway, I found the CD for MIAMTEC in the glovebox and listened to it. I haven't heard it for probably about 3 years, and had completely forgotten about songs like "Dedicated" and "Cry" and "YDKWTD". I still skipped "Faded", that "Money" noise. But overall, it was a good trip down not-so-distant-memory lane. And also re: that article - my question to the room is who hasb't had a dinner party for Whitney at some point in their life? That's just a regular Tuesday for me. (Wednesday 18 April 2018; 07:00)

Re: Dummy spills tea (81,853) (81,863) by Todd from Sydney, Australia This is my favourite post so far. I can't stand this Damizza creature. He's a runt with a capital C. (Sunday 15 April 2018; 21:08)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey is coming back to Manila (81,722) (81,732) by Todd from Sydney, Australia Hey now Only Fools and Horses, it's meant to be the #1s show from Vegas that she's doing in Australia so I'm expecting it to be song #1. And she better be wearing that big cloud fur thing. (Wednesday 11 April 2018; 00:46)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey is coming back to Manila (81,691) (81,704) by Todd from Sydney, Australia Hey now. We plebs down in the Asia-Pac region have never had a greatest hits tour. I can't wait for the #1s tour in Melbourne, might finally hear VOL at a concert. (Sunday 8 April 2018; 05:31)
