Re: Amazon sales (86,189) (86,241) by May from Denmark Does the review count even if you didn't purchase through Amazon? (Monday 19 November 2018; 20:08)

Re: Copyriah (86,215) (86,240) by May from Denmark No, Mariah sampled Lil Kim version I Crush On You from the 90s, there's the verse that can be heard "he's a slut, he is a ho, he is a freak, got a different one every day of the week". At the same time this song also sampled from the song Rain Dance... so is a sample within a sample lol. (Monday 19 November 2018; 20:07)

Re: Caution - it is fun (86,049) (86,059) by May from Denmark Sorry for any typo or made up words, I was very exhausted when I wrote my review. (Friday 16 November 2018; 22:38)

Caution - it is fun (86,049) by May from Denmark After listening to the new songs and then the whole album again I have to say that I really like the album, I enjoy it more than MIAM. I have already listened to some on repeat. My favs are: Caution (this one is really sweet) Giving me Life (I have Spotify burning with this one) With you GTFO A No No (it is very catchy) Portrait The Distance The rest do nothing for me and the one I like the least is probably One Mo' Gen. All in all I'm quite happy with the new album. I can see myself listening to this one a fair amount of times unlike MIAM which I listened full like three times and bye. The melodies are quite modern yet still very Mariah, though her strong belts are no longer there her sweet baby voice, the breathy effect and signature runs are there and I do love her voice, her tone is beautiful and even though there are other good singers out there the sound of their voices are not as nice as Mariah's. I do agree with Edward, if she thinks of a next album she might have to do something about her voice. I heard her latest Emotion version and while she sang very controlled, she couldn't even do smooth runs, belts, or use any high notes other than her whistle register which is alraedy not as high as it used to. The album is obviously trying to catch a young audience. I would truly like much better though and wholesome lyrics, it's like all of them are vague and missing some sense other than the superficial obviate of what she might refer to, but there is no connection with some of the verses, if you read them without the lyrics they fall a bit flat unlike previous things she has written.

Re: Runaway (86,024) (86,026) by May from Denmark Omgawd share. Haha. So lucky. (Friday 16 November 2018; 15:38)

Re: New interview: Anthony Burrell on Mariah: meds (85,632) (85,642) by May from Denmark I believe Mariah was either having issues with the type of meds she was getting or she wasn't taking them at all. She was also drinking a fair amount. It would explain her behavior with Packer, looking clueless at time, disoriented and anxious. It might explain that advertisement clip of Mariah's World where she looks exhausted and cries, she looked very down at times and might have had some episode, Mariah crying and the whole exhaustion segment was cut from the show and they didn't air it. I believe Stella didn't know how to handle her, or was taking advantage of her, she went on a huge spending vacation and all included Stella and her clan. Remember when she sang Honey on tv and she hardly could move after coming down the helicopter, she was energiless and even seemed like not being there. I have a fair amount of friends bipolar type I and II and the meds and moods affect immensely and all of them react in different ways. I think that other than the Glitter era, Stella made Mariah's circumstances too obvious by exposing her too much. Maybe that has always been the reason why Mariah private and personal life was always so hidden or controlled when it came to the way she was presented to the public and her interviews.

Re: A No No No (85,579) (85,588) by May from Denmark One could only hope. She will just finish the tour and go on vacations another 5 years to Greece. (Saturday 3 November 2018; 19:31)

Re: Caution World Tour (85,577) (85,581) by May from Denmark I don't think it has to do with ageism at all. If a song is a hit it will be a hit without promotion, and even without a face, remember Sia and that chandelier haha. I think it has to do more with the fact that producing new comers and sending them to fly away when the flavor is gone is the way things are done now. Social media and such has made it so easy for young artists to have their deals but they also don't have longevity at all. Yesterday it was Katy Perry, nowhere to be seen anymore truthfully, Lady Gaga became a grandma and "legend" at her 30s and the views and spins of her music have heavily decreased and this includes Iggy Azalea and such who came from YouTube flips all being replaced by new comers, and the new chewing gum is Dua Lipa and the likes, five years from now we won't hear about these people anymore. It's amazing that the likes of Mariah get to be heard at all. (Saturday 3 November 2018; 12:26)

Re: Too many bubbles for my taste (85,193) (85,217) by May from Denmark Agree. Madonna and Lady Gaga have been living from tours because their music don't sell as before and don't have super hits no longer. (Tuesday 23 October 2018; 14:10)

Re: Album cover (84,927) (84,939) by May from Denmark Hopefully not. It has been done by Paulina Rubio and Lady Gaga, so it isn't original. (Tuesday 16 October 2018; 14:13)

Re: The album title (84,931) (84,938) by May from Denmark I'm excited because I'm waiting for some stuff like GTFO. I think her last ballad was beautiful and even though it wasn't super hyped I'm sure the album might have a gem. From MIAM I really loved Meteorite. I was dissapointed with Supernatural because I thought there was going to be some more substance in the lyrics but the kids voices made it worthy. I really like the new album title. It's like a "dark Mariah", I already got that vibe with GTFO. Hopefully all will be good and won't be pushed back. (Tuesday 16 October 2018; 14:09)

Re: Album cover (84,935) (84,937) by May from Denmark Yes. It's gonna be an uncover. She did something like that before, remember that we got like pieces that had go be uploaded with views, if I recall correctly. (Tuesday 16 October 2018; 14:04)

Re: Missing crowd of fans in Japan (84,849) (84,883) by May from Denmark To be honest all of them lose fans greeting when the peak is over. Think Madonna and the blocks of endless fans going to see her or even Lady Gaga who had fans trampling to take her photo, now she is lucky if there are five persons standing there waiting at the hotel door. (Monday 15 October 2018; 14:44)

Re: Re: AMAs (84,794) (84,797) (84,833) by May from Denmark I reckoned that too, Mariah used to make humming birds flapping their wings look like kiwi birds. What happened with that energy, I don't know. I think she just changed her style. In the beginning she used to have that "washing the windows" style, she called it like that haha. At first I attributed it to her shoulder problem but then again she still has her other arm. She seems quite robotic lately. I want to think and believe that her "With You" performance was live, as it does sound different from the original track, and that's the reason she played it safe. (Saturday 13 October 2018; 11:39)

Re: Angry Andrew (84,801) (84,832) by May from Denmark But Andrew has been here for so many years, it would feel so weird not having someone point out our darkest thoughts. When has he not sounded like an angry drunk uncle? Please dah-rling. (Saturday 13 October 2018; 11:34)

Re: Question (84,805) (84,831) by May from Denmark I believe it comes from Mariah tendency to perfectionism which can have a high price to pay as it makes the person become obsessive and compulsive. She said at times she wasn't happy with her first album and she would wanted to change things over and over. She said once she hated some of her lives because she thinks after them "I could have done this different". Probably one of the reasons her early tour videos are dubbed. (Saturday 13 October 2018; 11:31)

Re: Question (84,799) (84,830) by May from Denmark I'm pretty sure the same issues as always, only that not as severe as now at days. (Saturday 13 October 2018; 11:23)

Re: With You video / song's simplicity (84,782) (84,786) by May from Denmark "Didn't look like 10 dollars." Haha made me laugh because I Don't came to mind, that one probably costed 2 pesos. (Friday 12 October 2018; 11:14)

Re: AMA choreography (84,758) (84,785) by May from Denmark I'm sure he knew she was not gonna walk and thought the choreo around that. Probably because she was gonna sing live wanted to play it safe as it was for tv, she always does this for tv, there isn't a time when she hadn't stood still, since her first tv appearances she has always done that, only difference is a lifted arm here and a kick with her leg there when belting but that's about it. I'm wondering why Mariah is into corsets lately, does it really help her singing? I would imagine it helps a bit for certain things. She does seem more relaxed when breathing, I would have thought it would constrict her. (Friday 12 October 2018; 11:10)

Re: Cute video (84,764) (84,784) by May from Denmark I agree. From all her last videos it is probably the best one, in a way is sad because it is another video without a storyline or anything really going on other than her posing, being cute, sexy, looky-look-at-me and all the shoe fetish party. I loved the part where she has that laced jumpsuit, she looked very beautiful, and I really enjoyed the car takes, it was like a reminiscence to The Roof somehow. I liked the little perks here and there with the camera and the brush or playing with her coat. Infinity snippets really tricked us back then with those scenes of her opening the door to possible lovers and it's a shame it was a lost opportunity for something more fun. I feel exactly the same way with With You. I would have liked the GTFO video if it was a bit more subtle in its take, like Sade's video "The kiss of Life", she could still have had her beauty shots, look sexy and still make a storyline or give hints of what is going on rather than sitting in the kitchen counter for the whole thing. I believe With You video is a good effort but to me, not enough. Yes Mariah, you are pretty, we know it. (Friday 12 October 2018; 11:06)

Re: AMAs (84,771) (84,783) by May from Denmark I also thought it was a beautiful stage performance. I didn't mind her standing there considering what was going on around and the fact that it was obvious it was live through and through. Because of the layering in this song her choir took over the parts where she wouldn't be able to catch a breath. And is the choir the only problem I found in this live performance, they sounded too low and far away, hardly could hear Troy singing his verses. I really loved that the dancers came from under the dress, didn't expect that at all. The song is beautiful itself, not ground breaking, not fresh, but she sounded very angelical, her voice might not be in the best state but it's very pleasant still. I think she should have lifted a bit more the second part of the song because in a moment it seemed flat but going by the end was great. Looking at past AMA's performances this last one was really nice, in DFAU all she did was walk three steps in a see through dress and nothing else happened and her vocals were ok. In a way is an improvement, but that was like a decade ago. (Friday 12 October 2018; 10:56)

Re: Promo plan (84,560) (84,588) by May from Denmark Let's face it. There won't be promos. Let's admit it, GTFO wasn't buzz, it was the lead song and it didn't pan out so they tried with the next ballad. The single was officially released on YT without lyrics and no video came soon after. So it stayed there, stagnant. If something doesn't change or a big surprise comes on soon this wil be another MIAM. She hasn't even release the name of the album neither talk about its content. Zero. Things are happening too quickly now at days because the internet and social media. It's like Mariah is still figuring out 2000s MySpace. I want to be positive but she makes it so hard. (Tuesday 9 October 2018; 12:33)

Re: GTFO (84,556) (84,587) by May from Denmark 4 million views is freaking sad if you think about it. (Tuesday 9 October 2018; 12:26)

Re: BT (84,499) (84,528) by May from Denmark Mariah couldn't find true love when she was younger because The One wasn't born yet. (Monday 8 October 2018; 09:58)
