About Norman from USA:
I've been a fan of Mariah's since I first heard Love Takes Time (I don't know how I initially missed Vision of Love), and I haven't looked back since. Her music has been there for me in my darkest hours to help lift out of the depths of whatever I was going through at the time. She's my all time favorite female singer, even though I love many others.
It's funny to think of her music as a "friend", but it's always been there for me. I love her talent.
" As we drifted to another place and time And the feeling was so heady and sublime As I lost my heart to you There in the dark Underneath the stars"

The very one. I know it's a wild guess, but it does have a Mariah ring to it. I could see her covering it. I'm probably 100% wrong but I took a stab at it.

I'm thinking these might be good guesses:
Track 2 - Can You Hear Me Track 7 - Slippin Away Track 8 - Out Here On My Own Track 9 - Loverboy (Firecracker sample) Track 10 - I Pray Track 13 - Lullaby of Birdland

Re: Article: Mariah Carey shares heartbreaking song (94,329) (94,330)

Other than this post about them, have you sought out justice for those victims in any way? Because if your outrage is only about people voicing their grievances and their outrage about black people being disproportionately killed and attacked because of the color of their skin, you might want to reassess the situation and sit this one out.
And you can miss me with the looting angle if that's your retort - outrage prioritizing insured real estate and goods doesn't outweigh a life. That's also part of the problem.

Fighting off this COVID-19 over here and Mariah singing FLAB on IG is giving me life. And it's everything. Happy Easter to all of you who celebrate it. And may all of you stay safe out there.

I have a soft spot for Almost Home, too. It started a journey for me when it came out. It's a tie between The Roof and Underneath the Stars for me, however. Straight up classics.
I hope all of you and your loved ones are staying safe out there in your spot in the world.

It's fire. It gave me Mimi vibes. It's certainly better than Lady Gaga's new single. No shade. Just saying.

Interesting. Hasn't her success out in the UK been a bit of a mixed bag?
Her 2 #1 songs there are covers: Without You Against All Odds
Her first single was a top 10: Vision of Love - #9
Her first top 5, however, is also a cover: I'll Be There - #2
The rest of her top 5 runs? Endless Love - #2 (cover) AIFCIY - #2 Fantasy - #4 Open Arms -#4 (cover) ABMB - #3 Honey -#3 My All -#4 WYB -#4 Heartbreaker -#4 IKWYW -#3 It's Like That - #4 WBT #2 TMB -#5

I live in LA and constantly hear Mariah played in various places around the city all year long. It actually surprises me to hear her songs played so frequently. It's mostly stuff from Emotions, Daydream and Music Box, but it's played. It's justy experience, of course.

I really wish Mariah would write or collab in writing songs for the following artists: Jojo Jennifer Hudson Tori Kelly Normani Kelly Clarkson Sam Smith Jessie J Kelly Rowland Dinah Jane
I'm sure I'm forgetting others, but it's who popped into my right now. Anyone else you'd add to the list?

Re: Vocal decline (92,787) (92,788)
by Norman from USA
| |
|
|
I honestly believe it would be humanizing for her to do so. I mean, since she's known for her vocal ability, it's the elephant in the room, you know?
She can talk about her writing until she's blue in the face, but she wasn't sold to the general public for her writing skills: it was 100% her vocals. I'm not saying it's a 100 fair - she's talked about her writing from the very beginning, but her marketing was always about her voice.
I know this has been said before, but one can't help but think of Julie Andrews as a fair comparison. She came clean about her vocal issues and people moved on. She's still revered for her legendary voice decades after her last performance.
Mariah's vocals aren't as damaged as Julie's, but she would really do herself a favor by addressing it. If she did that and wrote and produced for other artists, I think she could shift the convo some.
Releasing an album after that would probably be a redemptive arc in her story. It's not that she is obligated to do so, it's simply that it would be a good move.
As fans, we know that Mariah is so much more than just her vocal ability. Personally, her lyrics have meant a great deal throughout my life. If she chooses, I know she has a lot more to deliver to the music world. I really liked Caution a lot, and I think it's a good direction for her. With her memoirs coming out this year, and with 30th anniversary of her debut album creeping up, I'd say it's a perfect time to adress it.
Whatever she does, I look forward to seeing good things from her.

When was Walter A inducted? I can't find any mention of him and the award. I know that sniveling Roger Friedman was griping about Mimi getting inducted before him, and being overall unpleasant towards her as is his custom. I'm very happy she's inducted and that they're whining.

Do you guys think Mariah would wear any of these outfits? B gave a few celebrities the whole collection as a gift. I remember loving the Adidas outfit she wore to the Nickelodeon awards show. Just a random question.

I don't like Yummy in the least. Not because it's Beiber, but because it doesn't appeal to me. Then again, One 'Mo Gen had to grow on me. Now it's my 3rd favorite track after 8th Grade and GML.

Re: Madonna vs. Mariah (92,235) (92,240)
by Norman from USA

I'm not sure I'd compare them, they're such different artists. Madonna has as much an impressive discography as Mariah does, but with very different approaches and aesthetics.
They've been pitted against each other for various reasons (Madge did start the fued), but I think it's mostly a media driven thing that was then picked up by their respective fandoms. Both women have been untouchable at the apex of their careers, and many artists only dream of their accolades.
While I agree that Mariah doesn't get nearly the respect she deserves, I firmly believe that Madonna gets her respect because she demanded nothing less. I say Brava to both of them. Just my 2 cents.
