Messageboard

About Stacey from USA: Been a fan since 1993. Favorite albums include Daydream, TEOM, and Music Box. I love a good discussion, but won't stand for hateful comments because we disagree. I am too old to deal with drama and so are you. Keep it real with me and we'll have some fun. Peace.

Nevertheless (I'm In Love With You) (104,885) by Stacey from USA I swear, I would be a billionaire if I were paid a dollar for how many times people have bought up my profession, as if because I teach school that determines everything in my life. Dude, it's my job. That's it. (Thursday 11 January 2024; 06:40) this is a reply to message 104,873

Nevertheless (I'm In Love With You) (104,873) by Andrew from the UK Miss Stacey, as you are a most learned and noble educator - one, undoubtedly, of the highest order - you, ostensibly, must have gone completely, raving mad. For "Songs in the Key of MC" features only dance and pop music to exclusion of all jazz and dreary R&B. There is, however, to be a secret, hidden bonus track featuring contributions from people who love jazz and dreary R&B. It's called "Salty Tears". (Wednesday 10 January 2024; 22:19)

Songs in the Key of MC (104,870) by Stacey from USA If you build it, they will come. I heard that off some baseball, field movie many years ago. (Wednesday 10 January 2024; 04:30) this is a reply to message 104,867

Songs in the Key of MC (104,867) by Andrew from the UK I'm terribly sorry, Madame L, but a famous singer once said, and oft repeats, "Never ever listen to anybody when they try to discourage you - they do that, believe me." Sell disappointment some place else. You ain't my dad. (Tuesday 9 January 2024; 21:52)

Nevertheless (I'm In Love With You) (104,869) by Stacey from USA Mariah needs to freaking record this song and put it on her next album named SITKOMC. Absolutely beautiful rendition. (Wednesday 10 January 2024; 04:29) this is a reply to message 104,866

Nevertheless (I'm In Love With You) (104,866) by Billy from Greece Hauntingly beautiful, sophisticated delivery. (Tuesday 9 January 2024; 21:12)

Songs in the Key of MC (104,858) by Stacey from USA Daydream is my favorite album title. I bet you're all shocked by that. (Tuesday 9 January 2024; 03:36) this is a reply to message 104,855

Songs in the Key of MC (104,855) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, The Elusive Chanteuse and The Art of Letting Go would have been good. I prefer Mariah's short album titles. I'm excited for the new one. (Monday 8 January 2024; 13:52)

MC30 (104,827) by Stacey from USA And that's why I don't refer to MIAM as a whole album a mess. Even when an album as a whole isn't a favorite of mine, I'm always grateful it was released because of those songs I loved. The label dropped the ball but I'll give MC a break on this one. I won't begin to speculate what the breakdown of her marriage did to her emotionally. Divorce is tough no matter who you are. (Saturday 6 January 2024; 18:52) this is a reply to message 104,817

MC30 (104,817) by Andrew from the UK I love me some Eddie. But how can something of which there are rumours be a surprise? Stacey is correct using the word "mess" but it should refer to the entire project. Everything about it was created or handled in a fashion unbecoming a supposed international superstar. That being said, there are some great melodies and vocals on MIAM. Personally, I believe Triumphant Pulse Remix, Almost Home, The Art of Letting Go and You Don't Know To Do are pretty special. I encourage Mariah to make her next record an upbeat dance record. Don't nobody need another Cautionary tale that will disappear in a fraction of the time it takes to create. (Saturday 6 January 2024; 12:23)

The Elusive Chanteuse (104,807) by Stacey from USA I like Me I Am Mariah, if she used just MIAM. When she added the EC mess, that's when she lost me. Songs in the Key of MC is fire. (Friday 5 January 2024; 06:38) this is a reply to message 104,791

The Elusive Chanteuse (104,791) by Andrew from the UK I don't believe anyone was calling her that. Except for her. She liked the way it sounded so created a narrative. If anyone has information to the contrary, I'm all ears. "Me. I Make Things Up... Eternally Chatshit." It was such an awful album title with a cartoon cover, and with vocals so engineered that it's difficult to listen to. The Art of Letting Go as an album title was great. As was the song itself, save for the kitchen window lyrics. "Songs in the Key of MC" is gonna blow us out the water. (Thursday 4 January 2024; 10:35)

More records fall (104,719) by Stacey from USA Amen. (Saturday 30 December 2023; 03:53) this is a reply to message 104,716

More records fall (104,716) by Andrew from the UK Have a day off, would you? Pretty sure I posted recently celebrating Mariah's 93-weeks at Number One. Oh wait, that's right, I did. I hope for your sake you're hot, honey. Because with a personality like that, you're gonna need to be. Good luck. (Saturday 30 December 2023; 01:22)

Obsessed in the UK (104,594) by Stacey from USA Don't need to ask myself, lol. I am glad SS wasn't the lead single. That's what my last post was trying to say. While I didn't connect with ILT at first, hindsight is 20/20. MC was wise to get everyone excited with a bouncy song than blow us away with what made her so successful to begin with. (Tuesday 19 December 2023; 04:38) this is a reply to message 104,590

Obsessed in the UK (104,590) by Robert-Anthony from United States Stacey, just ask yourself if Say Somethin' could have paved the way for WBT in the same way? ILT was the party record that TEOM needed as the lead single. It said that Mariah Carey was back. A January release date and a delayed video caused it to stall at number 16. (Monday 18 December 2023; 23:35)

Obsessed in the UK (104,589) by Stacey from USA I had the same issue with ILT. The whole concept of the song didn't make sense to me. That is until WBT was released. Here we go now. Let's go now. Silence. Then WBT started and the rest is history. (Monday 18 December 2023; 22:13) this is a reply to message 104,584

Obsessed in the UK (104,584) by MusicfanJ from Germany That could be one reason. Plus "Obsessed" is so untypical for a Mariah single. I remember when "It's like that" came out, a lot of friends told me it didn't sound like a Mariah song. With "We belong together" they were fine. (Monday 18 December 2023; 13:42)

Article: Mariah Carey stops by Library of Congress (104,578) by Stacey from USA No teacher of mine in the 1990s wore that. I'm a teacher now and I don't wear that, lol. I should clarify my post. MC looked beautiful and covered up. Just proves she can wear age appropriate clothing and still look stunning. (Sunday 17 December 2023; 23:13) this is a reply to message 104,568

Article: Mariah Carey stops by Library of Congress (104,568) by Robert-Anthony from United States MC was emulating what a teacher would wear. The two piece dress suit was a popular ensemble for teachers back in the late 80s and early 90s. (Sunday 17 December 2023; 00:29)

Article: Mariah Carey stops by Library of Congress (104,567) by Stacey from USA I kinda wish she'd dress like this all the time. (Saturday 16 December 2023; 23:20) this is a reply to message 104,560

Article: Mariah Carey stops by Library of Congress (104,560) by Andrew from the UK Wow. If it wasn't written in black and white I would never have believed this photo to be from 2023. Mariah looks stunning here. (Saturday 16 December 2023; 06:45)

Oh Santa MSG with A and J-Hud (104,513) by Stacey from USA See it sung live, lol. That's funny. Oh wait, you meant see it live in person. My bad. (Tuesday 12 December 2023; 00:08) this is a reply to message 104,504

Oh Santa MSG with A and J-Hud (104,504) by Lady B from USA Thoughts? I wish I was there to see it live. Was anyone there? (Monday 11 December 2023; 16:49)

Appreciation (104,478) by Stacey from USA Well said, Ed. Merry Christmas "ya filthy animals". (Saturday 9 December 2023; 00:54) this is a reply to message 104,474

Appreciation (104,474) by Edward from USA Merry Christmas to our MCArchives dysfunctional family. We agree, we disagree, we sometimes fight, get delusional and paranoid, but we are the MCArchives family. From the ones who post regularly to those who only post to remind us how Andrew should be banned, we love everybody. When MCArchives came online, back when Mariah was still huge, things weren't any different than they are now. We even had the UK gang against the US gang, but here we are 25 years later fighting, lol. Thank you Eric for keeping the site running all these years and thank all of you for keeping the conversation going. (Friday 8 December 2023; 23:43)

Christmastime Is In The Air Again (104,477) by Stacey from USA One of my favs. I love this song. (Saturday 9 December 2023; 00:51) this is a reply to message 104,464

Christmastime Is In The Air Again (104,464) by enwar00 from usa Always a treat to revisit this performance. An underrated gem from an underrated album IMO. Oh 2012 Mariah, how agile was your voice still. Did that fall somehow affect more than we know? (Friday 8 December 2023; 07:19)

Emotions formula (104,322) by Stacey from USA I think MC could have recorded the phone book for her debut album and been successful. Her voice was so amazing and so unheard of at the time. She truly is a once in a generation artist. (Saturday 2 December 2023; 06:56) this is a reply to message 104,316

Emotions formula (104,316) by Terna from Nigeria I'll just say this, between those two records, one is on the cusp of being certified Diamond - her third if I might add, while the other still has a long way to go (the numbers never lie). There's a reason why "Vision of Love" and "Love Takes Time" were the songs chosen for the tribute - they are instantly recognizable classics (even in that time), that have stood the test of time, the kind of songs seasoned songwriters would kill to have to their credit, written by a then 19 year old a testament in itself and can only be found on the most stellar debut ever by an artist - Mariah Carey. (Friday 1 December 2023; 21:00)

Would you rather (104,279) by Stacey from USA Rarities 2. No question. (Wednesday 29 November 2023; 20:51) this is a reply to message 104,264

Would you rather (104,264) by Tevin from USA I'm quite curious to read everyone's opinion. For 2024, would you rather have Mariah releases a 10 to 12 tract Rarities 2 album, where half of the songs are never before heard songs, or would you rather see here release a brand new 10 to 12 song studio album? (Tuesday 28 November 2023; 18:50)

(104,262) by Stacey from USA I was blasting this song last night on my way home. I love how MC calls the song a cute little Christmas ditty. It's so much more than that. (Tuesday 28 November 2023; 17:55) this is a reply to message 104,259

(104,259) by Edward from USA AIWFCIY jumps from 17 to 4. Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree reenters at No 8. I thinks it's happening again like last year, AIWFCIY will top the charts next week. (Tuesday 28 November 2023; 12:52)

Andrew (104,252) by Stacey from USA You're new here. (Monday 27 November 2023; 21:34) this is a reply to message 104,244

Andrew (104,244) by David from USA Does Andrew do anything on this board besides spread negativity and bad vibes? Genuinely interested. (Monday 27 November 2023; 03:12)

Performance (104,138) by Stacey from USA I thought it was a solid performance too. (Monday 20 November 2023; 16:21) this is a reply to message 104,134

Performance (104,134) by Edward from USA It was definitely live and she sounded good. It seems to be she's working with a vocal coach or something. Even though she's not belting much, at least she doesn't seem to be struggling with the less taxing notes. That makes me happy. (Monday 20 November 2023; 13:25)

Bryan Tanaka (104,119) by Stacey from USA Nope, lol. But apparently you do not have a life because here you are posting too. Next. (Sunday 19 November 2023; 04:07) this is a reply to message 104,114

Bryan Tanaka (104,114) by JR from United States Oh no you ruined everything by deciding to not go. Do any of you have lives outside of this messageboard? To come on here just to announce you aren't going? Nobody cares or asked. (Saturday 18 November 2023; 22:16)

Mariah, please be ready (104,002) by Stacey from USA I saw her on the last night of her Charmbracelet tour. She sounded amazing. (Thursday 9 November 2023; 20:36) this is a reply to message 104,001

Mariah, please be ready (104,001) by MusicfanJ from Germany Again I absolutely agree with Andrew on the confidence topic. Mariah was confident during those years. One can watch all her great performances online. She was the queen of Pop and RnB and her performances were great and often outstanding. Yes, she was never an "entertainer" but I never needed a circus number from a singer. I loved her magic, sweet aura on stage. Even in 2003 during Charmbracelet tour, she was very confident. A real diva and even entertaining. (Piano performance like a Marilyn Monroe.) She had so much energy and a "having fun" vibe. Superstar power all over. Haha isn't there a rumour with the aliens who kidnapped the real Mariah in 96? But seriously, Mariah can be fantastic on stage. She has it all. The confidence thing is not the problem. (Thursday 9 November 2023; 14:48)

Jimmy Kimmel (103,980) by Stacey from USA Well hey she didn't talk about her being biracial or insist we know she's a songwriter. Baby steps, Andy. (Tuesday 7 November 2023; 02:30) this is a reply to message 103,973

Jimmy Kimmel (103,973) by Andrew from the UK Brandon, how could you not like that interview? Don't you find Mariah talking about lighting interesting? Not even about being late? Not "doing" time? Her "bad" side? Don't you like Mariah looking like she fell asleep in a giant make-up bag? You don't like her being dressed like someone threw a jacket over a hooker to preserve some dignity? Somebody ought to do a montage of just how many times Mariah has said or done all of this shite in interviews to maybe impress upon her that it's maybe something to do with her own behaviour that she can't sell records or tickets the the general public anymore. (Monday 6 November 2023; 12:00)

Matthew Perry (103,918) by Stacey from USA "Hey Ross, Tom Jones called. He wants his pants back." I could quote Chandler lines all day long. I hope he finds the rest he couldn't find here. (Monday 30 October 2023; 01:33) this is a reply to message 103,916

Matthew Perry (103,916) by Robert-Anthony from United States RIP Matthew. He was a great actor. Friends would not have lasted 10 years if wasn't for comedic genius. (Sunday 29 October 2023; 23:41)

7 songs one billion streams (103,913) by Stacey from USA It could be that during the Daydream era, all her issues with Tommy hit their climax. Maybe one reason why MC doesn't talk about Daydream much is not wanting to remember how she felt during that era. Ether way, I love Daydream. I'm glad she recorded the album. (Sunday 29 October 2023; 18:48) this is a reply to message 103,902

7 songs one billion streams (103,902) by Edward from USA I hadn't really pay much attention, but Mariah really doesn't seem to care much about Daydream. She acts as if it doesn't exist. She very rarely even mentions it. Daydream is very special to me because it's the album that drew me back to her after listening to Open Arms. I think she got so invested in it that her losing all her Grammy nominations made her block it out. (Saturday 28 October 2023; 19:22)

7 songs one billion streams (103,912) by Stacey from USA It's nice to see the best album ever get some love. Looking In is my life's theme song. (Sunday 29 October 2023; 18:46) this is a reply to message 103,903

7 songs one billion streams (103,903) by Norman from USA Same. Daydream has so many faves and one of my top 3 Favorites of hers: Looking In. I recently read a few tweets where people expressed preferring songs like Thirsty, A No No, Caution, and the such over songs like Fantasy, ABMB, The Roof, and WBT. I know it's all subjective, but those fans confuse me. Daydream is such a vibe and songs like UTS, IAF, and MA deserve so much more general recognition. (Saturday 28 October 2023; 23:40)
