About Shezz from Pk: L4L

Re: The Distance (85,044) (85,054) by Shezz from Pk Indeed we do. (Thursday 18 October 2018; 19:22)

Re: The next single (84,949) (84,952) by Shezz from Pk I am very hopeful that the next single that'll bring on the album with a bang will be the title track, Caution. One journalist at the listening party said that her favourite song of the 5 they heard was called something along the lines of "Proceed With Caution" which was an uptempo that sampled "Crush on you" by Lil Kim, which ironically samples an older number. Pretty sure that's the title track. Cant wait for November 16. And the cover unveiling. (Tuesday 16 October 2018; 16:28)

Re: Pre-concert vocal rest (84,873) (84,877) by Shezz from Pk She still does it. It's just that sometimes she forgets and does it during the concerts. (Monday 15 October 2018; 12:19)

Re: Is it so hard to believe... (84,780) (84,791) by Shezz from Pk Yes you can hear a few breaths here and there and a few adlibs but I think it's because she speckled the performance with a few live notes over the studio track. I never watched the GTFO video again but I have seen this one a few times. A few random moments but generally yes a few good steps in the right direction. Looking forward to the album dropping soon. I feel she might pull off a couple of (mostly) live performances of With You during the Asia tour once she gets into her groove. (Friday 12 October 2018; 12:32)

Re: AMA choreography (84,720) (84,735) by Shezz from Pk RibbonB that was soooo spot on I could actually see those previous dancers doing those cheesy moves so vividly in my mind. After seeing the full AMAs performance on Vevo I have to say overall it wasn't that bad. Looked and sounded ok and to most of the people watching and media publications that's all that matters. Most of them could not tell she was lipping most of it. Only we could tell that she sadly lipped. Let's move on and start bashing the video now. Maybe she doesn't get the budget to hire actors anymore. I could even do with seeing Tanaka doing some cheesy moves on there as a freebie. Am I getting used to it or was there a little less touching herself in this video. Pretty but exactly as expected. I still think they should have gone with the WBT storyline with Bryan reprising Miller's role and a Packer look alike doing Roberts'. (Thursday 11 October 2018; 07:21)

Re: The ultimate disgrace (84,636) (84,641) by Shezz from Pk You are completely missing Andrew's point (which often gets lost in his brutal delivery). It was very very disappointing to see our favourite "singer" of all time not even partly attempt to sing With You live. When people like J. Lo and Taylor Swift can make Mimi look bad, it is really sad. I did not hear any parts that didn't sound like the studio version at all and we all know she really can't sing that well now that you'd be fooled to thinking it was the studio version. I think this sums up Andrew's and a lot of the other disappointed lambs' reaction. Why has she even lost the ability to sing her whispery notes live? She could really well during the Sweet Sweet Fantasy tour. (Wednesday 10 October 2018; 10:59)

AMAs reaction (84,630) by Shezz from Pk To be fair most of us here knew she would lip. Looked pretty. Didn't mind the change in choreography. (Wednesday 10 October 2018; 06:03)

Re: Promo plan (84,595) (84,597) by Shezz from Pk Maybe what Nick said is true, Mariah manages Mariah. Hey atleast it got you to start posting again. Don't lose hope. All is not lost yet. The album has not even been announced yet. Plus she apparently has "Champagne Papi" hiding under her sleeves (not) but I'd be the happiest person on earth to be proven wrong since he's too big right now to sign off on anything below his standards and his standards right now are higher than the heavens above. (Tuesday 9 October 2018; 16:04)

Re: I need help (84,575) (84,583) by Shezz from Pk Haha I feel the same about the "war" and "yo" bits. Beautiful. Though my eyes did roll when I realised she was saying "yo". Then I also realised the magic of Mimi. She can literally make any silly lyrics sound so pretty. Imagine what she'd do if she went back to writing poetically instead. She could have made With You an even stronger song had she tackled the subject matter with more universally appealing lyrics instead of narrating the Bryan Packer saga almost so literally. The We Belong Together video fits this song like a glove. I'd rather her repeat a similar storyline for a video than beauty shots of her singing the song all over LA. Fingers crossed. (Tuesday 9 October 2018; 10:17)

Re: Promo plan (84,560) (84,573) by Shezz from Pk I have a sneaking suspicion that they're pulling the plug on With You because it's not selling. They built it up too much and people were not as taken by it as they were themselves. Silly though because the video, radio airplay and some promo would help it sell. The video looks liks it's a more artistic version of the typical Mimi videos of late. Strange that she keeps teasing the video but isn't even announcing its release date. Maybe they're working on something like a remix to save it. I don't think for a second that Drake is going to put himself on this song. Everything hangs on the AMAs performance tomorrow.

Re: Classic Mariah (84,545) (84,554) by Shezz from Pk Mariah has certainly shown that she is talented enough to dabble in and make any genre work for her from jazz to disco to rock to country. I still don’t think she will be in the headspace anytime soon to turn any one of those into a whole feature album. I think even JD said something to that effect in an interview once. It ain’t happening. (Monday 8 October 2018; 19:07)

Re: Classic Mariah (84,535) (84,539) by Shezz from Pk Mariah will never ever see her self as anything but an R&B singer. I think she'll keep making the same slightly updated sounding music as long she keeps recording. As amazing as a Jazz album or a standards album would be, I think she would consider that not being true to her roots and who she is as an artist and she is too vain to do it sadly. (Monday 8 October 2018; 12:30)

Re: Nick Cannon's mind games (84,529) (84,538) by Shezz from Pk RibbonB your maturity and composure is astounding. (Monday 8 October 2018; 12:23)

Re: With You (84,414) (84,428) by Shezz from Pk In all honesty, it would take all 30 of us posting here, an army of 10,000 minions (each) streaming and watching With You on repeat 24/7 for it to even chart. So lets keep things real here please and not obsess over a 19th number one.. Enjoy her music and if it speaks to your soul so much why does it even matter if others validate your preference with their approval? Mimi isn't about the masses anymore and the masses surely aren't about Mimi. Enjoy her music and celebrate her era like the legend that she is but don't hope for chart success because that can't happen for her in this day and age. If she really is hiding a Drake collaboration for whatever ridiculous reason for a later date after the album drops and nobody cares about it anymore then that's stupidity on ice. She makes questionable choices but she ain't that crazy. I have grown to love With You. Do I still think it should not have been a lead single? Hell yes. Time will show us the other Migrate's and YDKWTDs that she shoulda woulda coulda on this album as well. (Saturday 6 October 2018; 11:22)

AMAs (84,407) by Shezz from Pk Just announced JLo will be performing her new single too. Hopefully that'll light a fire in Mariah to do a hell of a performance. Her response should be to go the opposite way and do a stripped down soulful performance and just showcase herself as a singer. A lamb can hope. (Friday 5 October 2018; 21:53)

Re: Same song, different notes (84,314) (84,324) by Shezz from Pk I agree, mostly. I actually do like it now but it would make a good album track, not shite for sure. I am sure this album will have gems like MIAM did in YDKWTD, MILG, Dedicated etc. that will also probably never see the light of day and remain album tracks becauase after 1 or 2 more singles, the label will not put out anymore. I think she probably was excited to release it more because it relates to where she is right now in life and how the situation developed and she needed to put that out. How she got the label and Roc Nation to back it as her official lead single is a mystery. I did the play the track several times today and did enjoy it but it does sound like a mash up of her older stronger work for sure. I don't expect a storyline in the video. I hope she atleast performs it well on the AMAs. (Thursday 4 October 2018; 19:01)

With You review (84,282) by Shezz from Pk Hmmm, pretty but... hmm. (Thursday 4 October 2018; 06:10)

With You climax (84,261) by Shezz from Pk Some big vocals and runs. She best be lipping this bit unless she really has it rehearsed down to the T. Sounds like this song builds up well - fingers crossed. For people who are into spoilers: It is picturised on their MW scene in this clip (fan made). About my post. That is obviously not Mariah. I think I'm just too excited. Sorry. (Wednesday 3 October 2018; 12:36)

Re: "Fan" reactions (84,254) (84,260) by Shezz from Pk Sorry, don't mean to answer for Andrew but I know what he wants and I agree. He wants a big first single in the vein of Emotions, Dreamlover, Fantasy, Honey, Heartbreaker, It's Like That etc. with a good strong beat and full vocals and not a pretty, mellow and hushed number, as beautiful as it may be it doesn't make for a good first single at this point for Mariah. Though I'm waiting to be surprised by the full song and I'm sure I'll love it and the whole album as well, as it stands now, it doesn't bode well commercially. That being said even if Mariah were to release We Belong Together or Fantasy now, it probably would not chart well either. (Wednesday 3 October 2018; 11:01)

Re: With You (84,242) (84,256) by Shezz from Pk Agreed. (Wednesday 3 October 2018; 03:50)

Re: With You (84,250) (84,255) by Shezz from Pk Haha you're believing too many things you're reading. Diane Warren, Drake, power ballad. Only thing that's true is that it's produced by DJ Mustard and that this is going to be Andrew's bop for life. (Wednesday 3 October 2018; 03:49)

Re: With You (84,234) (84,248) by Shezz from Pk What was written in 2015? (Wednesday 3 October 2018; 01:04)

Re: With You (84,237) (84,247) by Shezz from Pk What'll it take to get you to come back here regularly? (Wednesday 3 October 2018; 01:03)

Re: With You (84,230) (84,233) by Shezz from Pk I think she's clearly talking about how Tanaka "saved" her from her almost marriage to Packer. "In front of the whole damn nation": In Mariah's world, all of America apparently watched Mariah's World in which Tanaka convinced Mariah in a totally unscripted and genuine way to choose him and ditch her fiance. (Tuesday 2 October 2018; 18:48)

Re: With You snippet (84,216) (84,223) by Shezz from Pk I'm sure there is something in the song, in the chorus perhaps that made Roc Nation and Epic pick it as the official first single. I didn't like the GTFO snippet but it turned out to be a pleasant surprise. I just feel the clip doesn't sound like anything new, not that I didn't like what I heard. (Tuesday 2 October 2018; 15:10)
