About Dove from United States:

MIAM (82,527) by Dove from United States I've been listening to MIAM today and I think it would make a good movie. It tells a good story. I see scenes in my mind with each song. I'm sad it didn't have more of an impact. It captures so many feelings. All of the songs make me feel something. (Saturday 26 May 2018; 03:08)

I also forgot (82,483) by Dove from United States 2000 - Parachutes (Coldplay) 2002 - A Rush of Blood the the Head (Coldplay) (Sunday 20 May 2018; 19:04)

Re: New list (82,477) (82,481) by Dove from United States I forgot to mention that a long time ago (in 2015) someone on this message board recommended To Pimp a Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar so I got it because the person made it sound really good. That was on heavy rotation in my car. Then when Damn. came out last year I got that too. (Sunday 20 May 2018; 14:28)

Article: Mariah Carey is "considering baring all" (82,461) by Dove from United States I suspect some of these accounts encouraging MC to "bare it all" are the same person. [Webmaster: That's correct, they are all the same person.] (Saturday 19 May 2018; 01:27)

Re: First impressions of TEOM (82,451) by Dove from United States The rest of my post got cut off. But basically I didn't appreciate TEOM back then like I do now. (Friday 18 May 2018; 00:55)

Re: First impressions of TEOM (82,447) by Dove from United States I was 21 when TEOM came out. The first thing that comes to my mind is this story: I went to stay with my parents that summer of 2005. I used to bump that album super loud because my parents live in the country so nobody would call the police on us for playing the music too loud. Well I came out of what used to be my bedroom one day and my younger sister said, "You think you're hot sh*t huh? Especially when you listen to that song about the doors that lift up from the floor." (Thursday 17 May 2018; 23:09)

Mariah Carey lost weight because of JLo (82,427) by Dove from United States If this is true I'm glad she's saying something positive about Jennifer Lopez. It puts the "fued" behind them. I'm not a fan of Jennifer as a singer but she does always look great. She inspires me to take care of myself too. (Thursday 17 May 2018; 00:26)

My thoughts on Stella (82,412) by Dove from United States After watching Mariah's World here are my thoughts on Stella: It rubbed me the wrong way the way she talked about the assistant and the dancer who didn't want to ride on the same bus with Mary Ann's son. The way she said, "It's a job, just do the dance and shut up." Or something like that. I feel like she didn't value him or the assistant and saw them as less than her. I don't agree with that. I feel like it creates a hostile work environment and adds unnecessary stress. Or when Mary Ann was venting about the situation and after she left Stella said something about Mariah being the least high maintenance out of everyone. I think everyone's concerns were valid and she could have handled them better. She made a drama out of things that weren't that serious and talked down to almost everyone. The staff had to resort to going directly to Mariah because Stella was such a b*tch when one of her roles was to manage these types of situations so Mariah wouldn't have to worry about them. In a business I believe every person is a part of the team and the show runs better when employees are valued and treated with common courtesy and respect. Another thing that annoyed me was when she wrote all over the white bed linen with makeup. Even after Mariah asked her to stop. She was pressing so hard too, as if she were angry. To me this shows she's not a person of character because she has no regard for people who she deems as less than herself, such as the person who would have to get that makeup out. She's probably one of those people we see at Target who sees a shirt on the floor but instead of picking it up they drive over it with their cart. Also, the situation with the picture her daughter took. To her it was more important that it went viral than the fact that it was trashy and her client was uncomfortable with it. After watching Mariah's World, I'm glad MC severed ties with Stella. Mariah Carey deserves a manager with class who can communicate with employees with authority without being nasty and unprofessional. (Tuesday 15 May 2018; 09:54)

Memoirs (82,390) by Dove from United States I love memoirs. I don't understand the hate it gets either. (Sunday 13 May 2018; 01:15)

Bill (82,389) by Dove from United States Bill, you don't look anything like I imagined. (Sunday 13 May 2018; 01:11)

Meet & greet prices (82,361) by Dove from United States $1,000-$1,500 is way too much money to spend to meet someone, at least for me. She's super talented but she's still a person. There are a ton of pictures of her on the internet for free. I'd rather donate that money to a homeless shelter or a single mom. (Wednesday 9 May 2018; 22:26)

Soundtrack to my Life (82,359) by Dove from United States I've thought about it some more and I'd actually rather have a list of songs that are the soundtrack to her life, rather than covers. (Wednesday 9 May 2018; 22:03)

Fantasy album track list (82,358) by Dove from United States I was bored so I came up with a fantasy album track list. I know some people don't appreciate my love for a cheesefest but it's who I am and it's part of what I have to offer. The album would be titled Eccentric Life or Madness and these would be the song titles: 01. Candy-Colored Mystery 02. Classy Girls Wear Pearls 03. Bright Facade 04. Enigmatic Presence 05. Glitz and Glam 06. The Most Outrageous Parties 07. Hot Stuff (Donna Summer cover) 08. New York City 09. 1983 10. Unicorn Magic (about a honey colored drink) 11. Madness (upbeat track that samples "Our House") 12. Jezebel 13. Fantastic World (Life's a Total Blast) (dance track that samples "Fantastic Voyage") 14. Positively Lovely (ballad) 15. Trade Secret (about the underbelly of the industry) 16. Voluntary Seclusion (sad song) 17. Breathe the Light (surrendering to God) 18. Radiant (Bigger Than Me) (getting in tune with God) Bonus Tracks: 19. So Will I (Hillsong cover) 20. Oceans (Hillsong cover) (Wednesday 9 May 2018; 22:02)

Re-release old albums (82,280) by Dove from United States After the impending era, which will be massively successful, breaking many records (including The Beatles most #1 singles record), she could re-release her early work. The album and a DVD with a bunch of her best performances and interviews from that album cycle. And the best pictures. Maybe unreleased tracks and really amazing live versions of the songs on a separate CD. It could come in an album sleeve but instead of a record, there could be a few CDs of content. If they did this I hope they would include digital content too. Some artists sell it separately to make more money but it would be generous to include it with the physical copy. It could be released on the anniversary of that album. One or two per year and do it right. They could also sell merch from that album cycle, like replicas of the jewelry she wore, a little black hoodie (like she wears in Fantasy), the heart necklace she wears in her early videos, the butterfly ring, the two bracelets from the Glitter cover, the belly chain from Butterfly, the outfit from the Butterfly cover, the little black dress from her self titled album, the red hat from Glitter, the charm bracelet from Charmbracelet, the pink top from the Heartbreaker video, water glasses with pictures from the album cycle or coffee mugs with her quotes. Even the diamond necklaces she's been wearing recently. They'd have to be fake, like moissanite or something, but girls could wear them to their proms and weddings. But you have to make her "cool" to the youngsters. And sell her merch at the trendy stores. And Amazon for us older people. We don't like to pay for shipping. Once she solidifies her status as the best artist of all time, she could live off of her back catalog, not tour anymore, and just make studio albums when she feels like it. I hope she would keep doing the Christmas shows, though. (Wednesday 2 May 2018; 15:22)

Re: (82,266) (82,270) by Dove from United States I love that idea Bill. (Wednesday 2 May 2018; 01:00)

The Soundtrack of My Life (82,268) by Dove from United States MusicfanJ - I doubt she would do a whole album full of new covers but it would be amazing if she did. I would be thankful with one or two new covers too. Edward - that's way too long and way too cheesy, even for me. (Wednesday 2 May 2018; 00:19)

Re: The Butterfly lands (82,262) (82,264) by Dove from United States I agree. One more planned era that is awesome and stands alone, and then focus on her legacy. (Tuesday 1 May 2018; 19:04)

Re: (82,261) (82,263) by Dove from United States It would be called "The Soundtrack of My Life". (Tuesday 1 May 2018; 18:41)

(82,261) by Dove from United States It would be neat if Mariah made an album covering songs that have been important to her in her life. In-between studio albums. For example a song her dad used to listen to when she was little, or a song she used to sing with her mom, the one that was her "song" with her first love, a song that was popular when she first moved out on her own, or the song she danced to at her wedding, etc. It may be cheesy but I love a cheesefest. (Tuesday 1 May 2018; 18:09)

Confession (82,250) by Dove from United States I hadn't actually watched Mariah's World, I'd only watched clips of it. The clips I watched were cringeworthy. I was so excited for a new album today that I started watching the show, and it's actually good. People exaggerate. To me it's like an extended version of her Cribs episode. (Tuesday 1 May 2018; 05:03)

The Polarity Tour (82,197) (82,227) by Dove from United States That's pretty perfect. (Monday 30 April 2018; 15:17)

Ganja (82,212) by Dove from United States Medical marijuana is legal in Colorado. (Monday 30 April 2018; 05:58)

D.R. King (82,169) by Dove from United States I forgot to mention D.R. King is not in the competition anymore but I hope he still makes it as a recording artist after The Voice. Actually, D.R. would have sang I Am Free really well too, maybe better than Kyla would have. (Thursday 26 April 2018; 22:04)

Re: 5 Songs that would be #1 if resung/reimagined (82,168) by Dove from United States I've been watching The Voice this season (because I love Kelly Clarkson's personality) and I'm really impressed with D.R. King and Kyla Jade. I would live to hear Kyla Jade sing I Am Free or Make It Look Good and D.R. King sing Lead the Way. Also, It's A Wrap for Kyla Jade. (Thursday 26 April 2018; 21:09)
