Re: Happy Birthday Licia (85,695) (85,702) by Licia from USA Thank you RJJ and Gee. As for my favorite CB song, all of them are my favorite, but the one song that cemented my love for CB is My Saving Grace. This song helped me get through a really bad moment. The first time I heard it I was in tears. No other song before this one had ever affected me like this. No other song had a message that I could fully relate to. Basically MSG is my Outside, Looking In, CTTA, and Petals. (Wednesday 7 November 2018; 13:31)

Brenda Kaplan "Starr" (85,701) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Apparently she posted this video on social media over a week ago where she was expressing how she thought it was nice that Kelly Clarkson acknowledged her on The Voice. Now that in itself is not bad at all, but what irked me was how she said it in the context of her being upset and tired of the remarks of some bashers (likely Lambs) who were saying she's still bitter about Mariah's success. It was quite defensive, shady and frankly, pathetic how affected she was. Watched that and I was like, okay hold up. 1. Where the hell is all this bitterness coming from? Mind you, this rant of hers was juxtaposed with her stating how she loves her career and her kids. Really hun? 2. Just so we're all clear, her not being able to live up to her stage name was a confluence of many factors that were beyond anyone's control, and no one should ever really have to drag Mariah into any conversation about her career not taking off. And most importantly, 3. Kelly Clarkson did not actually acknowledge Brenda, she basically was saying that she knew Mariah's humble beginnings, saying, "Brenda K. Starr, yeah, I've read it all" or something to that effect, playfully cutting Mariah's story of how she started and then they both laughed. That is not acknowledgment. If anything, that's just another expression of how much Kelly admires and loves Mariah, being aware of her journey and all. At this point, Brenda should just be thankful she still has supporters. It's unfortunate enough that her career has been reduces to a trivia question that could pop up on any gameshow just like Andrew Ridgeley (but at least Andrew was one half of Wham). And her defensiveness has just proved all her haters right. (Wednesday 7 November 2018; 13:01)

Re: Mariah, Mariah (85,697) (85,700) by Edward from USA Mariah told me to tell you: "Hey, I see you up there." She's been sending you the royalties for your sample, but you seemed to have moved or something. (Wednesday 7 November 2018; 12:05)

Re: Brenda K Starr mad Tommy / Mariah destroyed her? (85,660) (85,699) by Tijl from Belgium Nobody ruined Brenda's career. She could have received the whole MC treatment under Sony's supervision and still she wouldn't be a huge star. She is the conversation compared to Mariah's press conference. (Wednesday 7 November 2018; 11:27)

Re: Brenda K Starr mad Tommy / Mariah destroyed her? (85,692) (85,698) by RibbonB from USA Just stuck on bitter, is what Brenda is. (Wednesday 7 November 2018; 11:23)

Mariah, Mariah (85,697) by Lafa from Sweden God, I hope and wish Mariah will hear me again since she featured my 6 tones on Say Somethin' (So So Def Remix). But I have nothing to go on. I have one recording of mine. (Wednesday 7 November 2018; 09:13)

Mariah Carey giving advice on The Voice (85,696) by 123 from USA This is probably my favorite moment of hers from the voice. She did an excellent job analyzing the vocal performances for each artist and gave great advice that made the performances that much better. Her advice to Delaney was perfect and even sang the line the way it needed to sound as Delaney did struggle in the beginning. She gave great advice, sang, did excellent overviews of each singers performances and really came off as a likable legend with excellent musicality. This role fits her like a glove as she only works with them during rehearsals. I wouldn't mind her staying on as just the adviser since that gives her the ability to work with all the artists. This was a smart choice to put her on the show. She should have just been an adviser on idol and it would have worked out perfectly. (Wednesday 7 November 2018; 05:44)

Re: Happy Birthday Licia (85,687) (85,695) by 123 from USA Happy BDay Licia. I wish I could join you on the Charmy party. Maybe you could throw a Skype one - lol. I always said Charmbracelet is Butterfly II. Her best songwriting overall but the whisper vocals turned a lot of people away and not focus on the songs, although she did a lot of whispering on Butterfly. What's your fav songs on that album and why? (Wednesday 7 November 2018; 05:04)

Licia (85,694) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Happy birthday Licia. Hopefully you had a great day today with positive vibes and hopefully you listened to CB as well. (Wednesday 7 November 2018; 03:37)

Re: Bipolar and vocal issues (85,667) (85,693) by 90sMariah from SG She hit puberty? Lol. (Wednesday 7 November 2018; 03:26)

Re: Brenda K Starr mad Tommy / Mariah destroyed her? (85,688) (85,692) by enwar00 from usa That's what Brenda K Mart said to Wendy Williams on her show years ago. Who knows if it's true or not. She said she was still waiting for the house. Earlier in the interview she laughed in annoyance at the Mimi nickname and said she never heard Morgan or Patricia call her that. As if other people years later can't give you a nickname. And that Mariah used to refer to herself as a white girl. All I know is that for as long as I can remember since day 1 is knowing that Mariah was multi racial. The whole conversation was so odd to me. But who knew. (Wednesday 7 November 2018; 03:14)

Many thanks (85,691) by Licia from USA *steps to the podium and taps my all black Charmbracelet inspired mike* I don't want to miss anyone so this is one big thank you to all of you for the birthday wishes. It has been really exciting turning 21 for the tenth year in a row. Lol. (Wednesday 7 November 2018; 02:10)

Re: Brenda K Starr mad Tommy / Mariah destroyed her? (85,683) (85,690) by RibbonB from USA Brenda KMart. The shade or the typo? . It's gotta be tough for people like her. But get over it. But that goes ten fold for Mimi too, when she's whining about some old slight. To whom much is given, thankfulness is required. There, fixed it. (Wednesday 7 November 2018; 01:57)

Re: Brenda K Starr mad Tommy / Mariah destroyed her? (85,686) (85,689) by 123 from USA Edward I remember her saying that on Wendy's radio show but my question is why didn't she bring that up from 91-05 when they were still in good terms. Must have not bothered her then that Mariah didn't buy her a house then she just brought it up to make her look bad. Plus didn't Mariah help her out financially here and there. Also, they fell out because she went to see Mariah and Benny Medina treated her like a nobody and Mariah didn't defend her, but Brenda was kissing JLo's ass on Idol when her daughter auditioned and JLo is currently managed by Benny, so very confused by that even tho they both go back from the Bronx. Brenda was supposed to teach JLo how to sing and JLo was supposed to teach her how to dance. I don't see JLo being mad at her since that never happened - lol. (Wednesday 7 November 2018; 01:49)

Re: Brenda K Starr mad Tommy / Mariah destroyed her? (85,686) (85,688) by RibbonB from USA Did Mimi actually promise her a house though? (Wednesday 7 November 2018; 00:53)

Happy Birthday Licia (85,687) by enwar00 from usa Hope you're enjoying your day. Have fun at the Charm party. (Tuesday 6 November 2018; 22:24)

Re: Brenda K Starr mad Tommy / Mariah destroyed her? (85,675) (85,686) by Edward from USA Brenda K Starr is mad at Mariah because Mariah took her #13 hit and made it a top 5. Mariah also promised she would buy her a house, but Brenda is still waiting. (Tuesday 6 November 2018; 21:39)

Re: Bipolar and vocal issues (85,658) (85,685) by 123 from USA I love this list. Especially the clone of original Mariah. I've heard that one float around for years or that the Illuminati have the original Mariah caged somewhere. Maybe they only let her out to sing the records and then lock her back up and let the clone do the concerts -lol. And JLo stole it. You are soooo wrong. It wasn't enough she stole her concepts now she stole her voice too. (Tuesday 6 November 2018; 21:31)

Re: Bipolar and vocal issues (85,669) (85,684) by RibbonB from USA Happy birthday. (Tuesday 6 November 2018; 21:13)

Re: Brenda K Starr mad Tommy / Mariah destroyed her? (85,675) (85,683) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I get Brenda's anger, I really do but she can't keep expecting Mariah to drop her name every time she makes a public appearance. Like does she expect Mariah to go "Hey, I am Mariah Carey, I was a background singer to the great Brenda K Mart and she helped me get my CD to Tommy Mottola." Mariah has mentioned this story many times but she can't be expected to always mention Brenda everywhere. She might have given Mariah the opportunity to give the demo to Tommy, but Mariah became the legend she is on her own iconic talent. Brenda gave me second hand embarrassment when she thought Kelly gave her a shout out in that "Voice" clip. (Tuesday 6 November 2018; 20:40)

Re: Bipolar and vocal issues (85,669) (85,682) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Happy birthday dahlin', have a festive and pip day. (Tuesday 6 November 2018; 20:36)

Re (85,669) (85,681) by Shezz from Pk Happy Birthday Licia. (Tuesday 6 November 2018; 20:29)

Re: Bipolar and vocal issues (85,674) (85,680) by Bill from the UK Haha I know it's like the main one lol. (Tuesday 6 November 2018; 20:24)

Re: Bipolar and vocal issues (85,673) (85,679) by Licia from USA Thanks Musicfan and Edward. I voted first thing this morning so bring on my CB party. I want everyone in blonde wigs, Harley Davidson half shirts, and denim booty shorts so we can reenact the I Know What You Want video. Make it happen people. (Tuesday 6 November 2018; 19:39)

Re: Brenda K Starr mad Tommy / Mariah destroyed her? (85,675) (85,678) by Andrew from UK The name Mariah Carey will live forever in music history of importance. Brenda K Starr is a footnote. Incidentally, I didn't much take to Mariah's tone betore Emotions and even sometimes during it. Every word-ah ended the same-ah (insert growl). I feel like her voice became melty and less shaky from Music Box onwards. (Tuesday 6 November 2018; 19:32)
