About David from USA:

Hot 100 (107,692) by David from USA Wait, how did Wham's "Last Christmas" re-enter this week's chart at #38 while Mariah's not on it yet? (Brenda Lee either.) What am I missing here? (Friday 22 November 2024; 01:05)

Christmas tour 2024 (107,646) by David from USA Wait, you're a teacher? I didn't know that. What do [you] teach? And what will you do if you stop teaching? (Thursday 14 November 2024; 22:57) this is a reply to message 107,628

Christmas tour 2024 (107,628) by Robert-Anthony from United States Brandon and Edward, you both got me thinking as to why MC is so stiff on stage and relies heavily on the monitors and lip syncing lately. Her voice and hand movements were so interconnected together. With both of them working together, we got a more engaged MC who commanded the stage so effortlessly. Just my two scents as I contemplate if I am going to end my teaching career after 19 years at the end of May 2025. My health is starting to decline from worrying about all that I have to do on a daily basis and from just trying to live on a Texas teacher's salary. I left Atlanta, Georgia a year ago because I just had grown disappointed in how tough it was for me just fitting in after being there so long. So, I went back to Texas because I believed the myth that everything is bigger and better in Texas. What a huge lie the natives sell the newcomers. So, I can completely understand how MC feels when contributing factors can change how you approach something that you once loved to do. (Tuesday 12 November 2024; 02:04)

Morgan on "The Joan Rivers Show" (107,569) by David from USA I was perusing YouTube and watched an old interview with Zsa Zsa Gabor (love her) on "The Joan Rivers Show". It was the complete episode, and after Zsa Zsa, there was a segment with three fitness fanatics who devoted their lives to working out. Lo and behold, one of them was Morgan. Not sure if anyone ever mentioned this video on the board before, but I thought I'd share it. (Morgan's segment comes on at 30:28.) I did some Googling, and the episode aired on November 13, 1989.

Robert Anthony (107,475) by David from USA I come on this board often; I comment very rarely. When I do comment, it's usually to note the negativity and nastiness of Mariah's "fans" here. Robert is always positive and civil - and he's respectful to Mariah even when perhaps giving constructive criticism. We could all learn from him and, as far as his frequent posts, this board would be dead without him. (Tuesday 8 October 2024; 15:06)

Mariah's mom and sister died on the same day (107,254) by David from USA Ouch. Hearing someone say they should reconnect with Morgan because they're "the only two left" hit me hard, as I have an abusive sibling (emotionally and physically). No, Mariah needn't mend anything with Morgan - that would mean letting an abuser back into her life, and that would be ridiculous. That's not how it works, that's not how someone in Mariah's situation stays healthy. Plus, I think we all know Morgan has maintained his abusive/accusatory/litigious/in-my-opinion-somewhat-insane personality - there is no repentance here, quite the opposite. From personal experience, I have to say that there's nothing worse than people who expect me to reconnect with my abusive sibling - for any reason whatsoever.

Mariah's mom and sister died on the same day (107,252) by Matty from Vancouver Canada Wow. this is heartbreaking for Mariah. I'm glad she was able to spend the last week with Patricia, but it breaks my heart that it doesn't seem like she was able to mend or be at peace with either Alison or Patricia in the truest sense. Mariah has been open about mending her relationship with her dad before he passed, I hope there was some healing for the three of them before they passed. I also pray that her and Morgan can support each other and find common ground now that they are the only two left of five. So sad. (Monday 26 August 2024; 23:06)

Andrew (105,013) by David from USA But when will this ban be permanent? I've posted about his abusive nature several times. I think what you, as Webmaster, might want to realize is that he is detrimental to your traffic. I have literally stopped coming to your site for months at a time because I can't bear to read his hate speech. He posts constantly and permeates the entire message board, and it repels me from the entire site. I'm sure I'm not the only one. Food for thought. Other than that, I enjoy your site and thank you for it, but I'm an infrequent visitor here solely because of Andrew. (Friday 19 January 2024; 22:30) this is a reply to message 105,006

Andrew (105,006) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands I just want to let you know that Andrew has been banned again. His last words were: "Eric is a prick. Mimi L is a yappie fucking dog. Fuck you, cunts." I think there is clearly something wrong with this guy. (Friday 19 January 2024; 14:45)

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)

New era? (103,251) by David from USA This. You said everything that needs to be said. There's really nothing, literally nothing, else that needs to be discussed about Mariah's future career after this post. Of course, that won't happen, since most of the people on this board would have nowhere to go to express their incredible negativity and insults in an effort to project their own unhappiness.

New era? (103,249) by Will from England I think it's to be expected that she slows down now. She's done literally everything there is to accomplish in music that she wants to do and has broken and made so many musical history records; she's done all the dog and pony shows for each album; she's performed in nearly every country; she's had to her rise, fall and return to grace. Her arc is complete, and there is nothing more for her to do expect enjoy the life she has built for her family. Her children are nearly teenagers, and for now, she is enjoying being a mom to them, occasionally recording and writing stuff, but without the pressures for commitment to a record label to deliver a full album and do a promotional tour. Look at the other legacy acts around, there isn't anyone in her category making music or having hits (with the odd exception here or there like Kylie), it's all the younger upcoming artists and I'd like to think that she has made peace with that. Her final large promotional push she had to do, that I feel she wanted to achieve and was easily attainable at that point, was to get AIWFCIY to number 1, and that's done, and that song will now continue to increase in weeks at number 1 every year, before finally becoming the longest running number 1 song ever on the chart ad infinitum. However, that's not to say she will never release another musical project, I don't think that she can ever let that happen considering her views on Caution, but something to really sum up over 30 years in a cut-throat business and something she can be proud of being the final major project, and finish it with her sweet 16th album.

Time for lists lol (103,028) by David from USA Webmaster: Can this guy get banned from the messageboard already? Literally every time I come on here - which is not that often anymore because of the negativity and hate being spewed - I see angry, abusive posts by this person. It's time to stop enabling him, it's time to ban him from the messageboard. (Wednesday 19 July 2023; 03:10) this is a reply to message 103,026

Time for lists lol (103,026) by Andrew from the UK Oh, I'm sorry, Randy. I didn't know it's always the "news" for which you're looking out for inspiration. The 1997 voice change and the choir on Through The Rain in the news often, then, are they? I've got a list - and you're on it. Why don't you, get the. (Wednesday 19 July 2023; 00:13)

MC should come clean (102,987) by David from USA Mariah was dropped by Epic? When did that happen? (Monday 10 July 2023; 03:24) this is a reply to message 102,983

MC should come clean (102,983) by Robert-Anthony from United States There is only one other major female R&B singer without a label right now. Her name is Jill Scott. She only released one album on Atlantic and they dropped her just like MC on Epic with Caution. I guess when you no longer have the radio hits and enormous album sales, female artists have a difficult time keeping their record deals. What is Madonna doing differently that keeps her career moving forward without the radio hits and enormous album sales? If MC would go independent, she would receive more respect as an older female artist. A partnership record deal with a high profile pop or R&B male artist would help kick start her career too. I definitely could see Trey Songz or Ryan Tedder do a full complete album with MC. (Sunday 9 July 2023; 17:57)
