Mara (88,621) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) I am so happy that you got your moment with MC, and it exceeded your expectations. Also I am sorry to hear about the loss of your beloved mother. Just know that she's smiling down on you from heaven and believe me when I say your moment with MC was her moment too. You have now gained an angel in the sky that watches over you and your family daily. Sending my prayers and some positive light your way asking God to allow you and your family some comfort during this difficult time. (Friday 15 March 2019; 14:51)

Re: A No No (88,619) (88,620) by Shezz from Pk So there is a JD video floating on twitter where he addresses this, like B already mentioned. I'm posting the link here but somehow it never gets posted. Basically what he said was that Lil Kim reached out to him to do the remix and he sent her the beat - that's it. Nothing else came off it and he doesn't know why but I feel JD is often unclear and misleading. He says in this clip that he never heard the Steflon remix ever and that Epic records is responsible for this remix not him, that they decided to do one with her and not Lil Kim. It can be an inter label issue like Mariah has had with other artists before sadly due to Label politics. What's funny is that just a few days before the remix he posted a video about how the remix would come later, meaning he was still hoping for his Lil Kim mix. I'm pretty sure Mariah would have also preferred Lil Kim on it as she openly stated but Epic probably gave her no choice. Not that the song needs a remix, some additional star power would have just helped it get to a wider audience. (Friday 15 March 2019; 14:48)

Re: A No No (88,611) (88,619) by Elena from The Netherlands This could be the issue, but the only reason I can think of to not pay Kim what she wants is that they only want her if Cardi is on it too (and Cardi has not come through yet) because they don't think Kim is able to chart or that some industry people are blocking her to go nr 1 by not giving the fans what they want and not promoting the song. I mean if as a label you clearly know what the fans want, see the potential with an epic collaboration with a super catchy song, why wouldn't you pay the featured artists what they ask for?

The remix (88,618) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Honestly MC said she would love to work with Cardi, she never said that it was happening. Now JD on the other hand was the one making a big deal about a remix and I really believe that this has everything to do with his ego simply because none of his actual production made it onto the album. His role was reduced to an associate producer on the A No No track while Shea Taylor is the main producer of the song. I feel JD feels some kind of way, even though nowadays there limitations on remixes because of chart rules which sucks because we all know that when the stars align Mariah can give and has given us some dope ass remixes throughout her career. Honestly if there is another chance I hope this meeting of the minds can come together with MC, Cardi, Lil Kim, and Missy but would rather another producer because a JD production in 2019 would not work, as his sound has become stale and dated as it is stuck in the mid 00's somewhere. Just MC reinvented herself with Caution and still gave us classic MC. I need JD to do the same with his production. By the way the original version of A No No is fine on its own.

Remix disappointed (88,617) by Gilles from Malta Just wanted to share my feelings about the remix. I am sad lol because they just add the rap session with Stefflon Don. Nothing was creatively done as she used to make. [...] I can not write anything else about it. Who knows maybe they made it on purpose to ease people's mind who were requesting for a remix and a new remix will appear. Sooner or later. (Friday 15 March 2019; 10:51)

Stefflon Don? (88,616) by Mariahsbaby from usa I have to laugh at outrage of this remix, some of you guys are talking as if she debuted yesterday. She has worked with Drake, Big sean, Demi Lovato, Ne-Yo, Bebe Rexha, Calvin Harris etc. One of the things I love about Mariah is her willingness to work with newer artists, even though nobody asked for this lol. Ps: I have a feeling another remix will come. If not then who cares? I hope we get 2-3 more videos and I still need her to re-release Runaway worldwide. (Friday 15 March 2019; 09:30)

Re: Stefflon Don (88,605) (88,615) by Andrew from London, UK Now, now. It's only (another) lie if the account does not exist. So give him a chance. B, the link to the fake account, please. We can let Mary Ann know to as for it to be taken down. She may even be chuffed someone bizarrely made a fake account of her. (Friday 15 March 2019; 09:26)

Re: Stefflon Don (88,598) (88,614) by Elena from The Netherlands Exactly my thoughts. Something's up. My only guess is that they are waiting for Cardi to come through. But then there is not a video in place, so they'd have to put that together somehow to get full attention. (Friday 15 March 2019; 09:04)

Re: Stefflon Don (88,599) (88,613) by Lara from Middle East Heard it once and didn't like it. I definitely would have preferred having Cardi B on it for radio airplay and streaming, but what bothered me is it's a bad copy/paste edit. (Friday 15 March 2019; 06:39)

Re: Vegas final show this leg 2/21/19 M&G (long) (88,585) (88,612) by Shezz from Pk I will always think of you and your mum now everytime I hear "Never too far". I can't imagine what that song means to you now. Please do post your Atlantic City experience. (Friday 15 March 2019; 03:57)

A No No (88,611) by B from USA JD went on a tangent about how he reached out to Kim and Missy and even sent Kim the track. He went on to say that Epic is responsible for this remix and that he doesn't know why Epic decided to go with Stefflon Don instead of Kim. My money is Kim asked for more money than the label was willing to pay her. Personally, I don't think the song needs to be remixed. (Friday 15 March 2019; 03:26)

Re: Stefflon Don (88,596) (88,610) by B from USA I didn't even mention this board and neither did they but it was indeed Andrew from the UK that they were talking about. (Friday 15 March 2019; 03:15)

Re: Vegas final show this leg 2/21/19 M&G (long) (88,604) (88,609) by Mara from United States Bill, I believe that the wonderful experience literally hours before, played out the way it did for a reason. I do believe God is behind it and she is there watching. Thank you for your message. Special K, my friend, you were one before the Meet & Greet and you told me all about your experience. You helped ease my nerves. I appreciate how you put it that it was part of her journey and it's funny how you said "Keep your head up" as my mom always said that. Just a little validation. You don't know how I was unsure on posting this or not but I am really glad I did and me and my sister both read all these messages and it brought us comfort. Love to you all.

Re: Vegas final show this leg 2/21/19 M&G (long) (88,606) (88,608) by Mara from United States Thank you Edward and I'm very sorry to hear about the loss of your lovely mother at such a young age. Those are hard years to begin with and that kind of loss at that age so sudden must have been horrible. Martyn, such a sad loss, you just don't know. I do appreciate your words and those lyrics to those songs have such poignant meaning now. So many of them. (Friday 15 March 2019; 02:34)

Re: Vegas final show this leg 2/21/19 M&G (long) (88,600) (88,607) by Mara from United States Thank you B and yes it does. He is a lovely person. (Friday 15 March 2019; 01:52)

Re: Vegas final show this leg 2/21/19 M&G (long) (88,575) (88,606) by Edward from USA I'm deeply sorry for your loss, Mara. I also lost my mom suddenly and unexpectedly, and like your mom, she was an amazing mom. I was in my early teens, so I guess you're lucky she got to meet your kids, husband and to see you being happy and in good hands. Thank you for sharing your story because, just like Martyn's sadly departure from this earth, we could be here one day and gone the other. Family and friendships are important and all we have at the end of the day. Since your mom loved Mariah and you do to, I guess she must be shining down on you from heaven.

Re: Stefflon Don (88,594) (88,605) by Special K from USA Hmm, mmm we should roll your ass off this board for posting fake news. (Thursday 14 March 2019; 23:40)

Re: Vegas final show this leg 2/21/19 M&G (long) (88,575) (88,604) by Special K from USA Mara, words cannot express how much I appreciate you sharing your story. I am truly sorry about the passing of your mother. After reading this post twice, I am convinced that your mother knew her journey on this earth was not complete until you actually met Mariah. I am so happy that you had a wonderful experience meeting Mariah. I can't even imagine the roller coaster ride of emotions that you are going through. Keep your head up and please continue to bless this board with your positive vibe. Remember, "And I know eventually we'll be together, one sweet day." (Thursday 14 March 2019; 23:38)

Re: Vegas final show this leg 2/21/19 M&G (long) (88,575) (88,603) by Bill from the UK Oh Mara. I am so, so sorry. I don't know what to say. Like others have said, your dear sweet mother was elated and so happy when you met Mariah. I don't know what your beliefs are but to me that is like God is giving you happiness to help ease your devastating news. You are so loved. Your lovely mother is shining down on you from heaven.

EFA background vocals (88,602) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) I believe it was Cory Rooney. (Thursday 14 March 2019; 22:38)

Re: Vegas final show this leg 2/21/19 M&G (long) (88,583) (88,601) by Mara from United States Thank you Tijl and Dove. (Thursday 14 March 2019; 20:32)

Re: Vegas final show this leg 2/21/19 M&G (long) (88,575) (88,600) by B from USA Glad you had such a lovely time. I am also sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you. The Michael in your message, doesn't happen to be Michaeo Trujillo does it? (Thursday 14 March 2019; 20:22)

Re: Stefflon Don (88,594) (88,599) by Eduardo from Mexico Here it is the remix. I'm surprised not hearing the whistles she added on the video. Also when the Steff's part is about to start, it sounds like they just cut the track and past the Steff part, I just hope this is not the real song because it sounds bad produced. (Thursday 14 March 2019; 19:57)

Re: Stefflon Don (88,594) (88,598) by Shezz from Pk Twitter and instagram lambs are mad as hell over this. I guess most people were still thinking Lil Kim, Cardi and Missy would come through. Fine Cardi is too busy but JD couldn't get Lil Kim or Missy? Really? I'd love to know what went down. (Thursday 14 March 2019; 19:36)

We Are The World (88,597) by Andrew from London, UK Shuffling through Mariah on Spotify in the car, WATW came up. I forgot how much I love this. The whistles make the song and I was smacking down on the steering wheel. "And there seems no hope at all": she was, perhaps, singing to that slack-jawed bitch that tried yelling into the microphone with "and urgh change can urnly curm". Mariah was dignified and absolutely made the song with her constant but occasionaly tones. There really was no hope at all for that woman. (Thursday 14 March 2019; 19:36)
