About RL from USA:

I hoped this wouldn't happen (107,361) by RL from USA I agree with you - unless she has financial advisors who don't have her best interest in mind. There is a precedent for finance people who will steal money from the very people they are supposed to protect. I do remember a time when she hired a horrible manager Stella, which was hurting her career. (Wednesday 18 September 2024; 05:48) this is a reply to message 107,360

I hoped this wouldn't happen (107,360) by Jamie from UK Let's be honest, Mariah Carey will never be broke, does she spend to much? Probably. But she will have financial advisors that keep an eye on her wealth and income. And there's no way the relationship with her and James ended due to money, he's a billionaire and was recently reported to have suffered a breakdown after Mariah. I wouldn't believe everything the newspapers report. Maybe she has been told to curb her spending against her earnings so late on in her career, but she will never be broke.

RIP Fatman Scoop (Isaac Freeman III) (107,293) by RL from USA Very sad to hear about this. Heartbreaking for his family. I hope he is at peace. (Sunday 1 September 2024; 07:19)

Election (106,952) by RL from USA Yup, Harris needs to reassess her candidacy. (Thursday 25 July 2024; 18:52) this is a reply to message 106,951

Election (106,951) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands I can't understand why someone would like to have a liar, a convicted criminal and a sex-addict as their president. (Thursday 25 July 2024; 17:42)

Election (106,950) by RL from USA Thank you. I have dealt with a lot of hate from people who are anti-Trump and just dismiss me as being uneducated and not knowing any better. Working in health care, I actually did better on my 401K, and took home more money with far less inflation than under the current administration. So it's nice to know that among the MC community there is still diversity of thought, and other ideas are still respected. (Thursday 25 July 2024; 17:25) this is a reply to message 106,949

Election (106,949) by Chicago Lamb from USA I hope Trump wins too. (Thursday 25 July 2024; 14:05)

Election (106,941) by RL from USA I really want Trump to win. I'd prefer MC not do any endorsement of any kind. (Wednesday 24 July 2024; 18:15)

E=MC2 off on the beaten path (106,866) by RL from USA I remember that album garnered the largest first week sales of her career. I always thought that she had to stop promotion of the album when she originally miscarried. I could be wrong, but if that's the case, it makes sense that she had more pressing things she needed to take care of. (Friday 12 July 2024; 03:37) this is a reply to message 106,865

E=MC2 off on the beaten path (106,865) by Robert-Anthony from United States I have always wondered why Bye Bye, I Stay In Love, and I'll Be Lovin U Long Time all failed to have the same top 10 success as Touch My Body. I just can't pinpoint why pop radio didn't give those singles the same airplay impressions as Touch My Body. Were they weak single choices or pop radio was moving away from playing R&B songs on pop radio? There was a significant shift in pop radio from 2008-2010. (Thursday 11 July 2024; 22:42)

Happy Independence Day (106,836) by RL from USA To those celebrating today. Enjoying her contributions: Fourth of July, America the Beautiful, and her National Anthem performance from Superbowl immediately post Glitter. If that was her low point period, she really still shined. Happy 4th to all. (Thursday 4 July 2024; 22:03)

After Tonight, Heartbreaker remix, There For Me (106,672) by RL from USA Sounds like the sound/volume issues from the original version have been fixed on the remastered version of After Tonight. And on the Heartbreaker remix, I heard extra whispers in the beginning that I hadn't heard on the one released back in '99. Nice to have There For Me digitally. (Friday 14 June 2024; 08:06)

Adressed to Infinity haters (106,344) by RL from USA Agreed. It's not her best song, but I don't understand why that song is loathed so much. As a track it's fine, nothing triggering in terms of hate of an artist's work. (Saturday 4 May 2024; 06:16) this is a reply to message 106,342

Adressed to Infinity haters (106,342) by Matty from Vancouver Canada This is specially addressed to the Infinity haters. Can you explain to me what you dislike? It went to #82 on Billboard, it was well reviewed but critics, and the orchestration what brilliant. I'm curious why people that hate it, dislike it? My only personal grip is that the orchestration is so hopeful, and the lyrics are diss. (Friday 3 May 2024; 23:51)

I don't know her (106,226) by RL from USA Has its own wiki entry. I still think it could be a good song. (Friday 19 April 2024; 17:44)

Angels Advocate (105,823) by RL from USA I still want this officially released. (Friday 1 March 2024; 06:06) this is a reply to message 105,821

Angels Advocate (105,821) by jaker20 from US Its been 15 years since that was announced. If that album was actually released, that would have been her streaming monster. I'm 100% sure of it. (Thursday 29 February 2024; 23:44)

Yes And? (105,462) by RL from USA Pretty good. Mariah's vocals makes the track sound fuller than the original version. Good job. (Friday 16 February 2024; 06:11)

Migrate (103,726) by RL from USA Well, there was Mariah's World. But that may have been due to bad management. (Thursday 12 October 2023; 17:21) this is a reply to message 103,724

Migrate (103,724) by Robert-Anthony from United States I was just thinking about Migrate and how it was such misstep in her career that cost her a #1 song. Mariah Carey's top five negative career decisions are the following: 1. Migrate - Island/Def Jam's decision not releasing it as the second single. 2. Glitter - I don't need to say why. 3. American Idol - She was made a mockery of by the producers for ratings. Let's have the viewers tune in each week to see Mariah and Nicki fight on live TV. 4. Through The Rain - Prior to Charmbracelet, MC had never released a ballad as her first single. 5. A No No - The failure of securing Cardi B. was a shame and let down after all the hype about the talk of Cardi B. on the remix. (Thursday 12 October 2023; 13:01)

Colbert (101,762) by RL from USA I'm sorry about your friend. (Friday 9 December 2022; 03:58) this is a reply to message 101,760

Colbert (101,760) by Edward from USA Because vaccinated or not Covid-19 is still a thing. Cases are rising and it is not a good time to bargain with one's health. My friend was healthy, vaccinated, double boosted and died at just 32 from it. (Friday 9 December 2022; 01:53)

Colbert (101,758) by RL from USA Interview was fine. She did a good job. Just curious why the audience still needs to wear masks. (Thursday 8 December 2022; 21:51)

Article: Mariah Carey delivers sentimental speech (101,356) by RL from USA Well, at least she wasn't boo'd like Nancy Pelosi was. (Wednesday 28 September 2022; 02:46)

New release (101,267) by RL from USA Sort of. (Monday 19 September 2022; 18:45)

Re: Tommy the racist (99,756) (99,761) by RL from USA Tommy is not racist. I agree he is a businessman that wanted the greatest ROI in his artists. That was his job. Also he married Mariah, and is currently married to Thalia. (Tuesday 22 February 2022; 21:54)

Re: Favorite resung vocal (99,634) (99,636) by RL from USA Matty: is there a specific vocal part in those club mixes that stand out? (Saturday 5 February 2022; 05:10)

Re: Favorite resung vocal (99,631) (99,635) by RL from USA Robert-Anthony: that is a good pick. I just relistened to that track and the vocal/scats are very impressive. (Saturday 5 February 2022; 05:10)

Favorite resung vocal (99,630) by RL from USA Just curious what everyone's favorite remix track is (hip-hop or house/dance)? Specifically on that favorite track, what is your favorite resung vocal? (Friday 4 February 2022; 22:19)

ALWFCIY (99,233) by RL from USA With "Christmas", Carey claims her record-extending 85th week at No. 1 on the Hot 100, dating to the chart's August 4, 1958, inception. (Monday 20 December 2021; 20:13)
