About B from USA: Slowly but surely®™ The Vindication of B ®™ "There are people called haters and we give them positivity" MC

How do I feel about this upcoming Mariah reality (60,382) by B from USA I hope this project is a docu-series not a reality show. I hope this series is a behind the scenes look at her Vegas residency and her European tour. I want to see what goes on behind the scenes. Mariah warming her voice up, doing scales, before a performance and things of similar nature. No Stella or her kids or Dem Babies. Mariah doesn't need to be funny constantly she needs to be likeable articulate charming and down to earth. The public doesn't understand her or her sense of humor so no jokes. Make it a prestige docuseries. Discusss the lack of support from IDJ during the MIAMTEC era and why you decided to go home to Sony and do a Vegas residency. (Saturday 12 March 2016; 19:33)

Re: The future (60,297) (60,300) by B from USA Adele and Sam Smith are white artist singing and writing R&B music and [...] from the UK. Andrew's opinion is irrelevant. He lives in lalaland. (Wednesday 9 March 2016; 13:27)

Disaster (60,272) by B from USA Lies. If her sales were that bad her residency wouldn't have been renewed. This screams Benny and I don't know her, who isn't selling out every date either. (Tuesday 8 March 2016; 21:18)

Re: Only one MC song (60,266) (60,271) by B from USA Butterfly, The Roof, Breadown, Outside, I Still Believe, and Don't Forget About Us. (Tuesday 8 March 2016; 21:15)

Re: New sound (60,250) (60,262) by B from USA The theme of the album should be finding love again unexpectedly after the end of her marriage. No more rappers or JD. Please he's irrelevant and your loyalty to him is costing you your relevance. Also Big Jim is also dating your sound. You need fresh producers like Happy Perez who produce modern R&B classics. All Mariah needs to do to score another hit is revisit the songwriting formula she used during the writing of Music Box, Daydream, and Butterfly. Straightforward simple yet clever lyrics with simple catchy hooks and melodies. (Tuesday 8 March 2016; 16:53)

Infinity (60,251) by B from USA I agree. Infinity should be the last song that sounds like 2000's Mariah. She's aged and she needs to update her Daydream and Butterfly formula. Straight forward songs with simple smart clever lyrics that didn't try to hard to be hip. (Tuesday 8 March 2016; 1:57)

New sound (60,250) by B from USA Mariah needs to update her signature sound by working with the producers and songwriters Frank Ocean and Miguel are working with. She should write songs for her new album with them. If she want to continue to incorporate Hip-hop into her music she's going to have to embrace EDM. I think she should do a rousing EDM anthem with Emotions vocals for her next single. She should also write with Max Martin. He's able to seamlessly adapt his writing style to the artist he's working with. The theme of her new album should be the end of her marriage with personal introspective songs like Close My Eyes, Petals, Looking In. Like an updated Butterfly. Smart clever lyrics and the best collaborators and producers money can buy that are current hitmakers. Ignore anything LA has to say. He's a snake oil sales man. Score another Epic era Mariah. If you believe in yourselve and your undeniable God given gifts you can reclaim your throne. (Tuesday 8 March 2016; 1:52)

Re: Some thoughts (60,235) (60,240) by B from USA Triumphant and TAOLG were flops but #Beautiful and You're Mine (Eternal) were hits. They charted in the 20s on Billboard's R&B charts. #Beautiful also peaked at #15 on the Hot 100 and went platinum. Album sales are down. (Monday 7 March 2016; 13:51)

Re: The sound of music (60,234) (60,239) by B from USA Infinity was Mariah having fun. It was cathartic for her to write those lyrics and the song received mostly positive reviews from critics and fans. It's the perfect closing number for her show. Besides I'm in the video.

Re: I only wanted (60,198) (60,202) by B from USA Tommy. (Saturday 5 March 2016; 12:49)

Re: Eye bags (60,090) (60,112) by B from USA There are other remedies for under eye bags than surgery. She doesn't have them when she's well rested. I thought she looked amazing. (Tuesday 1 March 2016; 16:12)

Rhianna (60,084) by B from USA Work is a mumbo jumbo of disparate elements. She's gambling her longevity. The mighty may have fallen here. (Monday 29 February 2016; 15:13)

Records (60,011) by B from USA I don't care if Mariah's records are broken. She'll always be the first female to debut at song at #1 on the Hot 100 and the first female to occupy the #1 and #2 spots on the Hot 100 simultaneously. I'm looking forward to the new single.

Re: Ease for new generation / 14th number 1 (59,944) (59,960) by B from USA The only Mariah single I ever saw or bought that was discounted was Loverboy. I paid $13 for the maxi singles of TGIFY and My All/Breakdown. The only other single I've heard was discounted was Heartbreaker but the video was in heavy rotation on MTV, VH1, and BET and it was being played every hour on the hour on radio. It didn't need to be discounted to reach #1 on the Hot 100. Rhianna's career is slowing down. Her song charted because of her Samsung deal. Her album and singles sales shouldn't count because of said deal. It's cheating and manipulating the charts. Her Navy is swindling. She's going through what GaGa went through with Artpop. Talent always rises to the top and Mariah's talent is undeniable. (Tuesday 23 February 2016; 16:37)

Kesha (59,934) by B from USA Mariah helping Kesha and giving her advice is proving Mariah is a rarity in the industry. Mariah relates to her struggle because until Daydream/Butterfly Mariah had to write what Tommy told her to. He was constantly micromanaging every aspect of her career and personal life. Kesha deserves to write and record music that she's passionate about. Like Mariah she'll only be happy until she's free to do so. She’s a talented songwriter. (Monday 22 February 2016; 20:39)

Re: 1OAK (59,927) (59,928) by B from USA She's the perfect Vegas showgirl. I'm glad she ditched the unflattering ensembles from the first run. I think she'll eventually don showgirl costumes like she did in the videos for Breakdown and I Stay In Love. I hope she hires an A-list stylist. She's a megastar and she needs to look the part at all times. Her voice is in fine form. I've listened to all of the recent concerts and aside from some minor vocal mishaps, which every singer is entitled to, she slayed. Mariah and her residency is a success. (Monday 22 February 2016; 17:10)

Article: Mariah Carey talks about Las Vegas residency (59,925) by B from USA Simply stunning. She's flawless. Bow down, bitches. Beyoncé isn't Mariah's successor. I Am Sasha Fierce was Beyoncé's last good album. 4 and Beyoncé are horrible. She's overrated. Mariah looks like she's ready to reclaim her throne. Slay, Mariah, slay. (Monday 22 February 2016; 15:44)

Article: Mariah's "You're Mine" debuts on R&B, Hot 100 charts (59,891) by B from USA You're Mine (Eternal) is a R&B song and it peaked at #12 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Songs chart and #15 on the Hot R&B Songs chart. It wasn't and isn't a flop. (Saturday 20 February 2016; 21:47)

Re: Not a good look (59,884) (59,889) by B from USA I don't think Work will top the Hot 100. The only thing Work has going for it is Drake. Rhianna isn't in the same league as Mariah. She's the poor man's Beyoncé. She cannot sing. (Saturday 20 February 2016; 16:42)

Re: Top 3 favorite rap collabos (59,882) (59,888) by B from USA 1. My All/Stay Awhile So So Def Remix featuring Lord Tariq & Peter Gunz 2. Fantasy Bad Boy Remix featuring Ol' Dirty Bastard 3. The Roof featuring Mobb Deep Honorable mentions: Crybaby featuring Snoop, Side Effects featuring Jezzy, and #Beautiful remix featuring Jezzy. (Saturday 20 February 2016; 15:36)

Re: Work (59,840) (59,841) by B from USA I don't see Work peaking higher than its current peak. The song sucks. If she does break or tie Mariah's record it doesn't diminish her accomplishments or legacy. It would suck if an [censored] breaks or ties her record. Imagine the reaction of the Elvis fans will have if she ties his record after the uproar they caused when Mariah did. (Thursday 18 February 2016; 18:13)

Re: Never forget you (59,828) (59,831) by B from USA I agree. Mariah needs to write more timeless ballads like Never Forget You and Just To Hold You Once Again. Adele has proven that well written ballads can succeed. MIAM was Mariah's best album since TEOM/E=MC2 but the wrong singles were chosen. #Beautiful, Meteorite, Dedicated, and Make It Look Good should have been the singles. I adore You're Mine (Eternal) but the video and the WBT comparisons killed its chances at crossover success. Mariah needs classy videos like Someone Like You and Hello by Adele. She needs to hire an edgy stylist like Eric Daman or Rachel Zoe for the next era. I want another epic era. (Thursday 18 February 2016; 2:07)

Re: Grammys (59,826) (59,829) by B from USA Meghan Trainor being awarded as the best new artist is a travesty. She's a talented pop songwriter but Tori Kelly deserved the best new artist award. She's not only a talented songwriter, she's a talented vocalist. Taylor winning Album of the Year for 1989 was expected because it was the best album of the year. (Thursday 18 February 2016; 1:55)

Re: What's wrong with today's pop stars? (59,768) (59,781) by B from USA Daydream is perfection. E=MC2 excelled at the club bangers. The ballads on E=MC2 were the weak link. (Monday 15 February 2016; 21:12)

Article: Black History Month (59,780) by B from USA Beyoncé is overrated. Formation is the worst. The only song I've liked by her in a long time is 7/11. (Monday 15 February 2016; 21:09)
