Re: Grammys (72,715) (72,718) by B from USA Comparing Jagged Little Pill and Daydream is like comparing Lemonade and 25. Lemonade is Beyoncé's Jagged Little Pill and 25 is Adele's Daydream. (Wednesday 15 February 2017; 20:57)

Mariah and Michael (72,717) by T from USA I just noticed that Mariah Carey and Michael Jackson were both 43 when they released their last studio album. Mariah had a song go to #15 from her album and Michael had a song go to #10. But unlike Mariah, I think Michael saw the writing on the wall and stopped actively perusing the music industry. He would show up here and there and tour sometimes but that was about it. (Wednesday 15 February 2017; 20:39)

Re: Grammys (72,711) (72,716) by Bill from the UK TJ is completely right. Daydream was a tremendous effort by Mariah but Jagged Little Pill was a huge, brilliant, ground breaking, intelligent record. Alanis' dead pan delivery, her direct and cutting lyrics, the production, her style, it all was a perfect fit for the general mood at the time. I played that album relentlessly when it arrived, and to this day it remains one of my favourites and most returned to records (Mariah excepted of course). Mariah wasn't "snubbed". A snub would be zero nominations. The amount of nominations she received that year was a direct acknowledgement and confirmation of her fantastic achievements and a reflection of how she was perceived in the industry at the time.

Re: Grammys (72,711) (72,715) by Shezz from Pk Whereas I agree JLP was a more iconic album for sure, it did not have any Hot 100 #1s, it had Alternative Chart #1s (3) on the Billboard US charts. I don't think she has scored a number 1 Hot 100 in the US to date. (Wednesday 15 February 2017; 20:31)

Re: Grammys (72,709) (72,714) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes Daydream was so phenomenal. It even went number one in Germany (at that time we still had a lot of eurodance and boybands) lol. The radio stations were playing Fantasy, One Sweet Day and Always Be My Baby every hour. So I could easily record it on my mix-tape. And Mariah was the female superstar of 95-96. Just watch the Daydream tour in Europe, the people and fans were freaking out. And everywhere she was arriving. In France there's a video about MC walking through the crowd, it reminded me of Michael Jackson. Mariah sold out her only German concert so quick. I can't remember exactly, I guess in 2 hours it was sold out. Daydream caused a Mariah "hype" around the world. She was unstoppable. That she didn't win one Grammy at that time is a musical crime. Maybe the jury didn't like a young female singer who's looking like a princess and is married to an executive. I don't know. But it was definitely unfair. (Wednesday 15 February 2017; 19:55)

"I Don't" on Wendy (72,713) by Chicago Lamb from USA I think the Wendy Show would be the best place to promote the single, as it's more of Mariah's demographic. I don't see a Kimmel performance doing much good. (Wednesday 15 February 2017; 17:38)

Re: Valentie's Day treat (72,704) (72,712) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha you got me dead at Nobu Nobu Nobu. It was so annoying. (Wednesday 15 February 2017; 17:19)

Re: Grammys (72,698) (72,711) by TJ from Norway Oh you're so wrong darling. Mariah should recreate all her old albums. Oh. That was my opinion, and you got yours. Just keep calm and let people have their own opinions. I didn't know that you decided the rules here. I'm not here to tell anyone that Daydream isn't a good album, because I simply love it, but Jagged Little Pill has sold more than 15 million copies in the US and more than 33 million world wide. It also had 3 number ones on the single charts. You might not remember it, but I guess you're not her biggest fan. I also believe that many people have forgotten Mariah's number ones from that time. I don't think you can say that Jagged Little Pill is not impressive and got even higher sales numbers than Mariah has for Daydream. (Wednesday 15 February 2017; 17:04)

Re: Grammys (72,705) (72,710) by B from USA I assumed it had sold 10. As of 2003 it had sold 8,505,000 copies in the US ("Shania, Backstreet, Britney, Eminem and Janet top all time sellers"). (Wednesday 15 February 2017; 16:57)

Re: Grammys (72,688) (72,709) by B from USA Daydream is still relevant. Always Be My Baby is still being played on the radio in the US. When YM(E) was released I called my local radio station to request it and instead of playing Mariah's new song they played it instead. Also how many articles refer to Mariah as the Always Be My Baby singer? Check the Archives there are countless even after the release of WBT. (Wednesday 15 February 2017; 16:52)

Re: Grammys (72,703) (72,708) by Terna from Nigeria Those other two songs you mentioned were far from what you would refer to as a hit, they were lukewarm at best. "Ironic" carried that album, same as Adele's "Hello" carried 25. And compared to Daydream's singles, all those songs pale in comparison. And get your facts straight too. "Daydream" is a diamond album too. If I sound like the president of the United States of America - Donald Trump I'll take that as a compliment. (Wednesday 15 February 2017; 16:48)

Re: Grammys (72,683) (72,707) by TJ from Norway I didn't say that Mariah didn't deserve to win. She was beaten by an artist that also deserved to win at that award show. I don't remember the categories, but I remember I was sad at the time (but as time goes, these things doesn't take as much energy as it used to). (Wednesday 15 February 2017; 16:46)

Re: John (72,690) (72,706) by B from USA I bought both for 00.49. However for every discounted Mariah single there was a maxi single that was sold for $10.00 to $18.00. Which do you think fans bought? If you guessed both you'd be correct. (Wednesday 15 February 2017; 16:37)

Re: Grammys (72,703) (72,705) by B from USA Daydream has sold ten million copies in the US. [Webmaster: There is a difference between certifications and copies sold. Where is your reference for this claim?] (Wednesday 15 February 2017; 16:29)

Re: Valentie's Day treat (72,696) (72,704) by RibbonB from USA As I said before, I think this new house rental is a business expense. She keeps hosting parties there and making videos and now photoshoots, she will be able to write it off on her tax returns. I bet Nobu, Nobu, Nobu is out now because James co-owns the restaurant. (Wednesday 15 February 2017; 16:27)

Re: Grammys (72,698) (72,703) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands Before you write complete nonsense ("Daydream" was bigger than "Jagged Little Pill" and "Jagged Little Pill" only had one hit song), check the facts first. That's not so hard to do. "Jagged Little Pill" sold 15 million copies in the USA and 33 million copies worldwide. "Daydream" sold 7 million copies in the USA and 25 million copies worldwide. "Jagged Little Pill" had three hit songs: "You Oughta Know", "Ironic" and "You Learn". Sometimes you sound like Trump with your "alternative facts". (Wednesday 15 February 2017; 14:52)

Re: Should fans retire? (72,687) (72,702) by MusicfanJ from Germany That's an interesting thought that Mariah commercially retired in 98 with The Ones. I'm always longing for new music and I think MC is a legend since the late 90ies. I only wish that the damage caused by Stella and the other "inner circle" stops. (And Mariah should stop allowing it.) I don't care if Mariah hasn't another one hit also it would be very nice. But I want her to be herself without the strange new marketing and ridiculous "docu-show". And if she needs a time-out I'll wait for her comeback. (Wednesday 15 February 2017; 14:12)

"Mariah's un-shadiest moment" (72,701) by Billy from Greece This is for those who lately seem to reiterate the popular opinion that MC is a mean bitch, who is so insecure that she'll shade people for no reason. Girlfriend is just keeping it real. (Wednesday 15 February 2017; 13:51)

Re: Grammys (72,683) (72,700) by Terna from Nigeria Exactly my point. You get it. Alanis today is irrelevant and is only remembered for Jagged Little Pill and moreso only the song Ironic. Mariah is so much more than just one era or one song. She has the most distinctive, successful eras, with classics from each one of those eras that will last forever. One fell by the way side, and the other soldiered on into greatness and royalty. There's no comparing. (Wednesday 15 February 2017; 13:50)

Re: Grammys (72,681) (72,699) by MusicfanJ from Germany Nothing against Alanis, but I will never understand how an album with songs like Fantasy, One Sweet Day, Always be my baby, Underneath The Stars and Open Arms didn't win one award. Like Gee on this board said the jury of the Grammy's never liked Mariah and ignored her many times. MC has collected enough awards anyway. The Millennium Award inclusive. But no matter how many awards she's got, I can imagine she doesn't like the Grammy's because of the "debacle" of 96. (Wednesday 15 February 2017; 13:49)

Re: Grammys (72,675) (72,698) by Terna from Nigeria "At that point she made one h*ll of an album." So did Mariah: "Daydream". An even bigger hit than "Jagged little pill" which only had Ironic the song that carried most of the album. Mariah 3 monster hits "Fantasy", "Always be my baby" and "One Sweet Day". The latter of which still holds a staggering record up until today. Plus the other two with their own equally impressive record breaking firsts (Fantasy's debut at No.1). So anyway you wanna spin it, Daydream was the bigger and better album. And no Mariah doesn't need an acoustic version of Daydream. (Wednesday 15 February 2017; 13:30)

Re: 26 million viewers Grammy's missed opportunity (72,680) (72,697) by Shezz from Pk That was the Grammy nomination Christmas themed concert where she got zero nominations for E=MC2 and hasn't returned since as far as I remember. (Wednesday 15 February 2017; 11:15)

Re: Valentie's Day treat (72,693) (72,696) by Lila from United States As always, these days, she could've kept every single one of those photos. I honestly thought, first time around, the V-Day pics she took were cute. It looked like she was just having fun. She was wearing a bra encrusted with those nasty tasting candy hearts lol and the bathroom she took them in was so cute, there was lots of glitter and balloons, so there was more of a cuteness to than anything. The Hershey kisses on this new bra pic make it look like she's trying to be an Austin Powers FemBot and at any moment she's going to shoot us all down. Also, I'm really trying not to be mean when I say this. I genuinely need the fans and public who buy into this Tonka Toy mess to get their brain checked. Nothing going on there, not even the rent that Tonka Toy doesn't pay. They're smiling but it's not reaching their eyes. Plus, judging by the emojis, the 13 year old took the picture. This is just the V-Day to end all V-Days, though. What woman doesn't want to slip on a swimsuit, hop into a bath tub, and drink, all the while a 13 year old snaps pics. I guess after dropping 100K on the house, she didn't feel like faking another "date" at Nobu that she'd have to foot the bill for. (Wednesday 15 February 2017; 10:59)

Re: Beyoncé's isolated vocals on Grammys (72,689) (72,695) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Who is to say Stella isn't bringing in the drama herself for the "viral moments"? She seems to think anything that gets attention is good. (Wednesday 15 February 2017; 10:10)

Re: Current era (72,684) (72,694) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I hope it's not because she actually didn't pick L.A.'s calls, like it was reported. (Wednesday 15 February 2017; 10:08)
