About Stacey from USA: Been a fan since 1993. Take your drama somewhere else. I'm too old to deal with it and so are you. Peace.

Soulless (114,280) by Stacey from USA Whatever it is, it makes me sad to watch. (Thursday 23 July 2026; 21:02) this is a reply to message 114,273

Soulless (114,273) by Jamie from UK I don't even think it's medicated as such I think it's something more neurological, the funny facial expressions it's like something is seriously wrong, like dementia or something along those lines. (Wednesday 22 July 2026; 20:18)

I am free / Melt away (writing sessions) (114,217) by Stacey from USA The writing session tracks are the best part. I wish we had something similar for all of Daydream's songs. It really gives great insight into her writing process. Honestly, MB30 had more unreleased material. I'd be lying if I wasn't disappointed. I've heard all these acapellas before with all the EP releases. That said, I love Daydream is getting the anniversary treatment. It is such a beautiful album from beginning to end. Some may argue its perfection. The cover is stunning. I ordered the 2CD set. I am still a sucker for opening up a CD and and reading the liner notes.

I am free / Melt away (writing sessions) (114,212) by MusicfanJ from Germany I love "I am free" and the writing session is just wonderful. You can really hear the magic in her voice on that one. The tone, it feels like an angel singing. The "Melt away" session sounds so relaxed and soulful. I will be listening on repeat the next days for sure. Daydream forever. (Friday 17 July 2026; 15:50)

MC's best bridge (114,098) by Stacey from USA Cause All I've Ever Wanted is you. One of my favorites too. (Saturday 4 July 2026; 18:11) this is a reply to message 114,093

MC's best bridge (114,093) by Jamie from UK Everything I do is for you And you are every part of me And I don't want to face Another day Alone Without your love (Saturday 4 July 2026; 09:38)

MC's best bridge (114,091) by Stacey from USA Tell me what you need Let me give you all of me 'Cause without you nothing's real You're the reason that I feel Tell me what you need Let me give you everything Every moment I'm alive Until the end of time life (Saturday 4 July 2026; 00:19) this is a reply to message 114,090

MC's best bridge (114,090) by Bill from the UK I once was lost but now I'm found I got my feet on solid ground Thank you Lord If you believe within your soul Just hold on tight and don't let go You can make it Make it happen (Friday 3 July 2026; 17:19)

My All (114,069) by Stacey from USA I'd give my all to have; Just one more night with you; I'd risk my life to feel your body next to mine; Cause I can't go on; Living in the memory of our song; I'd give my all for your love tonight. (Wednesday 1 July 2026; 10:28)

My All/Stay Awhile remix (114,037) by Stacey from USA Yes. One of my favorite remixes. So put your loving arms around me boy And hold me like I was a cuddly toy Let me feel that warmth of your embrace Don't let go Cause there could be no sadder sight to see Than if we were to miss this opportunity So send me up a signal and I'll catch the light If there's no time, you know it's up to you (Thursday 25 June 2026; 06:04) this is a reply to message 114,035

My All/Stay Awhile remix (114,035) by Bobby A from United States Put your loving arms around me boy. And hold me like I was a cuddly toy. Let me feel that warmth of your embrace. Just some nostaglia for finding the original Loose Ends Stay a Little While Child 12 inch last week. (Wednesday 24 June 2026; 21:28)

Heartbreaker (114,033) by Stacey from USA Heartbreaker, you've got the best of me But I just keep coming back incessantly Oh, why did you have to run your game on me? I should have known right from the start You'd go and break my heart. (Wednesday 24 June 2026; 07:37)

It's a wrap (113,983) by Stacey from USA Maybe not. But her union to Nick Cannon did produce two children. Being a mom may be the only thing keeping her going at this point. (Monday 15 June 2026; 06:06) this is a reply to message 113,975

It's a wrap (113,975) by T from USA I agree with all of this. I hope there are no more albums. A song here or there is fine but I think Here For It All is a perfect ending to an amazing vocal career. The next album will basically have to be spoken word at this point. Mariah will never live through another person. Can you imagine if she has enough writing in her to produce ten more #1's and she gifts them to Ariana to pass her in the all time list. It's just never going to happen with someone who is as competitive as Mariah. I think she is hooked on some kind of drugs and has been since she fell of that table in 2013 curtsey of Nick Cannon. A person she had no business marrying in the first place. (Sunday 14 June 2026; 16:31)

Article: Kris Jenner and Mariah Carey go glam for dinner at Giorgio Baldi (113,915) by Stacey from USA Given the concerns we have for MC's mental health, I think I'd be more worried if Mariah chose to isolate herself rather then spending time with friends. I hope she enjoyed her night out with Kris. (Thursday 4 June 2026; 18:00) this is a reply to message 113,904

Article: Kris Jenner and Mariah Carey go glam for dinner at Giorgio Baldi (113,904) by MusicfanJ from Germany I absolutely agree. I'm dissapointed too. Why Mariah why? Please stay away from such people. (Tuesday 2 June 2026; 12:27)

Article: Mariah Carey to take Christmastime special international (113,891) by Stacey from USA Seriously, right? I agree with you 100%. To write and sing an original holiday song that is mentioned alongside the such great Christmas classics like White Christmas and The Christmas Song is probably her greatest accomplishment. You can't ring in holidays without singing, "I, don't want a lot for Christmas..." That song is a part of the standard hits we sing each year. It amazes me that the song seems to grow in popularity each year. Name another artist that has done this. (Saturday 30 May 2026; 04:45) this is a reply to message 113,889

Article: Mariah Carey to take Christmastime special international (113,889) by Zachariah from Croatia If an artist has one song that returns to No. 1 globally every single year for decades, that's not irrelevance - that's cultural permanence. Most artists would love to have one song with that level of longevity. Mariah has an entire career plus the biggest modern Christmas song. Being relevant every December for 30+ years is still being relevant. (Friday 29 May 2026; 18:46)

Article: Mariah Carey to take Christmastime special international (113,884) by Stacey from USA I totally agree with you. MC is so much more than just a Christmas act. We all know that. However, when the checks from regular album sales don't cut it anymore, and haven't for a long time, it is nice to see MC has something solid to fall back on each year. (Friday 29 May 2026; 02:48) this is a reply to message 113,877

Article: Mariah Carey to take Christmastime special international (113,877) by Randy from USA Don't get me wrong. I love AIWFCIY and Christmas is my favorite holiday. It's just that when I think of MC my head goes to songs like [Languishing], [Petals] and [Outside] and the hyperbole in [Up out my face] and the metaphors in Obsessed or the first verse of A No No. And remember there are lots of people I know that say she's overrated and she only is famous because she whistles or because of that Christmas song. I am very very protective of her legacy. I want her to be known for me than having a lighting man or being defrosted November 1. (Thursday 28 May 2026; 16:45)

Article: Mariah Carey to take Christmastime special international (113,883) by Stacey from USA You don't need to perform concerts to rake in the dough every Christmas. How long ago was AIWFCIY released? Stick with the payments. (Friday 29 May 2026; 02:44) this is a reply to message 113,876

Article: Mariah Carey to take Christmastime special international (113,876) by Sasha from Nomansland Given her current stage performance level and vocal abilities, I doubt she'll be able to keep doing it for many more years. So I would go for a one time payment. (Thursday 28 May 2026; 16:44)

Article: Mariah Carey to take Christmastime special international (113,874) by Stacey from USA You say that like it's a bad thing, lol. If I won the lottery, would I rather get a one-time payment or a check once a year for life? (Thursday 28 May 2026; 07:27) this is a reply to message 113,871

Article: Mariah Carey to take Christmastime special international (113,871) by Sasha from Nomansland She has nothing left to hold on to but her annual Christmas gigs. (Wednesday 27 May 2026; 23:58)

Article: Mariah Carey turns out for Gucci Cruise 2027 show (113,831) by Stacey from USA Agreed. She looked stunning. (Monday 18 May 2026; 02:21) this is a reply to message 113,827

Article: Mariah Carey turns out for Gucci Cruise 2027 show (113,827) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands Wow. I adore this outfit. Mariah should be wearing this kind of clothes all the time. (Sunday 17 May 2026; 12:40)

Mariah cover songs (113,797) by Stacey from USA 100% MC should release a covers compilation. I don't think people realize how many covers MC has done over her 30+ years in the music industry, good covers too. Dare I say some of her covers are better than the original. Here's looking at Without You. (Monday 11 May 2026; 15:53) this is a reply to message 113,795

Mariah cover songs (113,795) by Lainsky from Philippines MC has the knack for covering a song and releasing it like her own. I didn't know that "Sweetheart", "I Didn't Mean To Turn You On", and "The Beautiful Ones" back then. Would you believe? Even "When You Believe" was classified as a cover song in a YouTube video that I saw. But I didn't consider it a remake since they recorded it for the movie's OST. I created a playlist of her remakes from all her albums, arranged by my favorites. Which Mariah remakes are in your top 12? 12. I Didn't Mean To Turn You On 11. Endless Love 10. Bringing On the Heartbreak 9. Against All Odds 8. Sweetheart 7. I'll Be There 6. Open Arms 5. Without You 4. Do You Know Where You're Going To? 3. I Want To Know What Love Is 2. Out Here On My Own 1. I Still Believe (Monday 11 May 2026; 06:25)

Generation (113,784) by Stacey from USA Gen X = Music Box Millennials = Daydream Gen Z = Merry Christmas Music Box cemented Mariah's status as a global superstar, a force to be reckon with. Daydream was the peak of Mariah's popularity and dominance on the charts. For Gen Z, I am going to break the rules, but if I'm being honest, the album most Gen Z recognize is Merry Christmas. I've had Sugar Sweet playing in my head. Such a great song that got no love on radio. Why? MC sang it. Not because it's a bad song or Mariah's vocals are bad. It's because of Mariah. Had Ariana sang it or dare I say, Taylor Swift, the song would have blown up on the charts. I think if you asked more Gen Zers who wrote the Memoirs and/or Caution album, they'd look at you with a big "huh" look on their face, lol. (Wednesday 6 May 2026; 21:00) this is a reply to message 113,778

Generation (113,778) by MusicfanJ from Germany I'm a millennial so I would change it for Daydream. That album made me a fan and is way more loved by Gen Y than TEOM. Gen X = Music Box Millennials = Daydream/Butterfly Gen Z = Memoirs/Caution (Wednesday 6 May 2026; 14:16)

Brenda K on relationship with MC (113,783) by Stacey from USA I view Brenda K. Starr much like I view Tommy. They both played a role in getting Mariah a record deal. Once MC had that deal, Tommy took over and the rest is history. Other than that, BKS is not someone I spend too much time thinking about. I thought it was a nice touch by MC to cover ISB as a tribute to Brenda. Other than that, Brenda is persona non grata. MC wrote all her songs. MC spend time in the studio nit picking every detail until she was satisfied. MC directed videos. Brenda needs to chill and stop trying to grab on to MC's coat tails as if Mariah still owes her something. MC owes her nothing. (Wednesday 6 May 2026; 20:53) this is a reply to message 113,779

Brenda K on relationship with MC (113,779) by Lainsky from Philippines I don't know what the fuss is about Brenda K. Starr and Mariah here, so I didn't jump into the discussion. And then I came across this video and watched it. Some comments about her are not nice, but one thing is for sure. Whether people acknowledge it or not, Brenda is instrumental in Mariah's career. And I like her too. (Wednesday 6 May 2026; 14:40)

Brenda K on relationship with MC (113,769) by Stacey from USA Thumbs up for you too. Bill's list should be in the burn book too. (Monday 4 May 2026; 18:58) this is a reply to message 113,767

Brenda K on relationship with MC (113,767) by Edward from USA That's funny. It should definitely be on the first page of the "Burn Book". (Monday 4 May 2026; 14:11)

Brenda K on relationship with MC (113,768) by Stacey from USA I wish I could give you more than one "thumbs up". (Monday 4 May 2026; 18:58) this is a reply to message 113,764

Brenda K on relationship with MC (113,764) by Belinda Vasquez from USA Please stop acting like you work for Gramma. You don't. (Monday 4 May 2026; 03:48)

The Revival Of Mariah Carey (113,744) by Stacey from USA I just gave your post a thumbs up. Thumbs for everyone here. (Thursday 30 April 2026; 14:48) this is a reply to message 113,740

The Revival Of Mariah Carey (113,740) by Steven Berning from USA Wow, you put work into that list and at least nine people gave it a thumbs up. (Thursday 30 April 2026; 07:13)

The Revival Of Mariah Carey (113,697) by Stacey from USA HFIA felt like a return to that 90s vibe that made MC so successful. There were no guest rappers, only guest vocalists. The arrangements on the album are beautiful, mature, soulful, etc. The piano outro on NII sends chills down my spine every time. Such a powerful moment. The lyrics are her best IMO since Butterfly. That's why I'm so torn with HFIA. Her vocals can't keep up with the amazing arrangements and lyrics. I guess that's why I don't feel bad finding an AI version of some of these songs: My Love (Butterfly vocals), Jesus I Do (Music Box vocals), NII (Daydream vocals), HFIA (Daydream vocals). I listened to HFIA with Daydream vocals in my car and man, that is how that song needs to be sung, with those powerful vocals. I don't care if some thing that's a cop-out. (Friday 24 April 2026; 17:22) this is a reply to message 113,695

The Revival Of Mariah Carey (113,695) by Bill from the UK Yes, I agree Stacey. I would go so far as to say that in terms of the direction, musicality, originality, and everything else, HFIA has been as bold a step forward as Music Box to Daydream, Daydream to Butterfly, and CB to Emancipation. Yet, sadly, the voice isn't there to support what I think are some of the best songs she's written in decades. Jesus I Do recorded with Merry Christmas vocals? HFIA in the Butterfly tone? Nothing Is Impossible with the force of Glitter? The album would be her best ever. (Friday 24 April 2026; 08:13)

The Revival Of Mariah Carey (113,694) by Stacey from USA Here For It All has that Daydream/Butterfly/TEOM vibe. It's just that the vocals don't match those earlier albums. I was listening to Play This Song on my way home from work yesterday, and that arrangement is brilliance. Maybe the melody and the song as whole isn't everyone's cup of tea, but the musicality is absolutely there 100%. That is why I'm so torn about HFIA. (Thursday 23 April 2026; 20:54) this is a reply to message 113,693

The Revival Of Mariah Carey (113,693) by Lainsky from Philippines I couldn't agree more. I thought I was the only one feeling this way, although the different Mariah for me begins after E=MC2. The disconnect, I mean. Perhaps her pop sound can still be heard from TEOM, Charmbracelet, and Glitter. They still have her 90s influence. How I wish, in case her voice gets revived, she'll release an album that sounds like Music Box or Daydream, at least. And she could title it with Reminisce or Reminiscing (nice title track for a first single too), Back to Basics (although Christina Aguilera already used this title), Classic, Classic Sound, or Old School. Again, just wishing. (Thursday 23 April 2026; 14:39)

Glitter 25th anniversary (113,676) by Stacey from USA Lead the Way is ballad perfection, much like Till the End of Time. No touchy touchy. Leave it alone. Release things that never saw the light of day. She needs to embrace Glitter and the amazing music we got that sadly got overshadowed by her breakdown and the 9/11 tragedy. (Monday 20 April 2026; 02:15) this is a reply to message 113,668

Glitter 25th anniversary (113,668) by Bill from the UK Mariah should absolutely not attempt any sort of remake or "live studio" version of Lead the Way. That song is perfect and 2026 Mariah will catastrophically ruin it if she even attempts to go near it. If she attempts to sing that final run live it would probably kill her. (Sunday 19 April 2026; 09:17)
