About Stacey from USA: Been a fan since 1993. Favorite albums include Daydream, TEOM, and Music Box. I love a good discussion, but won't stand for hateful comments because we disagree. I am too old to deal with drama and so are you. Keep it real with me and we'll have some fun. Peace.

I'm not from Michigan. I'm from Southern California. But I still root for Michigan whenever they play Penn St or Ohio St. Gymnastics. I wanted the USA men to get a medal. They had not won a team medal since 2008. So fun to watch them get the bronze.

How about we stick to Mariah Carey topics or the Olympics. Plenty to talk about there. I watched the men's team gymnastics final yesterday. What a competition. Every stuck landing made me jumpy out of my seat.

Inspirational songs (107,037) by Stacey from USA
Biden: "If you have a problem, figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't black." He said that during the 2020 campaign. What a racist statement. So that means all his supporters are racists? Of course not. Hunter Biden lied on a federal form to buy a gun. Does that mean all Biden supporters are liars? No.

Democrats use race all the time when talking about policies. Trump does the exact same thing during a debate, arguing against illegal immigration, and it's racist and so are his supporters? The media creates this perception that Trump and his supporters are racists. Where is the proof? I just can't anymore with this logic. Carey on.

Mr. Big (You): "I don't get it."
Carrie Bradshaw (Me): "And you never did."

Good, respectful, healthy political conversation is a lost art. Stop the name calling. That's all I've been trying to say to you. It has no place in conversation no matter the topic. If that makes me a loser, cultist, such a horrible person in your eyes, then I'm guilty as charged. Shame on me for arguing such a thing. SMH.

1996 Olympics (107,030) by Stacey from USA
I was 18. I don't recall MC being a part of the 96 Olympics. Celine sang The Power of the Dream.

Inspirational songs (106,994) by Stacey from USA
I encourage you to read the book "What this comedian said will shock you" written by Bill Maher. He despises Trump. He said this, "'I can't hate you. I've said it a billion times. You can hate Trump, you can't hate all the people who like him. It's half the country.' I'm certainly not blind to Donald Trump's fault. I get it why people choose to vote for him. You know, somebody who's conservative once said to me 'What you don't get, you liberals don't get about Trump is that we don't like it either. We just see him as a bulwark against the nonsense on the left.' And I understand that because there is a lot of nonsense on the left and that's in my book, too."

I share his thoughts because you have every right to call Trump a racist. That's your opinion. But you can't call his supporters racist. That's something I'll always push back on. Maher is simply saying he hates Trump but can't hate his followers. Those are good people. Instead of calling someone a cultist, find out why they support Trump. You might learn something, and in turn that person might learn something from you. Good conversation is severely lacking in today's society.

You are welcome. I love having political discussions with people who see things differently. One of my favorite commentators is Bill Maher. Not exactly a Trump supporter.

I love Back to Black. This is gonna sound silly but I think Can't Let Go lyrics could mesh over the Back to Black arrangement. I was bored one night and came across both songs and when I listen to BTB I kept thinking of Can't Let Go. Random thought, I know. Go Team USA.

First, one way to recover from a "burn" is to laugh at a little sarcasm thrown your way. My name has been misspelled my entire life. I was having a little fun. Lighten up. Second, I'll always respond to people who engage me in friendly conversation, no matter the topic. Third, I will always call out name calling in politics. Calling people cultists and losers simply because they support the other candidate serves no purpose and divides us further. Division is the last thing we need. You could learn a few things from BFF. Fourth, go Team USA.

Celine 2024 Olympics (106,987) by Stacey from USA
Kelly Clarkson was a commentator for the American coverage and when asked her thoughts about Celine's performance, Kelly couldn't answer. She was in tears. I couldn't understand a word Celine sang. But the great about music is that it transcends language.

Changing the subject... (106,986) by Stacey from USA
My husband and I watched the whole opening ceremony and parts of it felt so off. As a Christian the mocking of the last supper was super disappointing. Christians can be mocked but if one mocks another religion all heck breaks loose. But I digress. Seeing Celine sing a beautiful song at the end was for sure the best part. All the rest felt strange to me. No matter. I am excited to support Team USA. Goud luck to all the athletes.

A part of me agrees with you. I'd love some younger, fresh faces too. My hubby can't stand Trump. Makes for some fun discussions, lol. But at the end of the day, he votes his way and I do my thing. Thank you for keeping things respectful even though we see things differently.

Thankfully I don't put stock into the opinions of strangers on the Internet. None. It's why I respond with humor. Judging me by calling me names without knowing anything about me or the 74 million Trump voters says more about your character than mine. I enjoy a good political discussion based on substance. But I won't argue with someone who calls me names. Political talk should be a discussion not an argument.

I am a special education teacher. I work with kids who have various disabilities. I love it. I've been married 23 years with three kids. Mariah fan since 1993.

Ok politics, this will be my one and only post. When Trump announced he was running for president, I was like oh heck no. I didn't want Trump as the Republican nominee. I knew Hilary Clinton would be the Democrat nominee and I did not want her as president. I was so sure if Trump ran against Hilary, she would win.
I was so sick and tired of the establishment running the show (i.e. Bush family, Clintons, etc). When Trump shockingly won in 2016, I was hopeful he would do a good job. I voted for him because I felt he stuck to his word. The border was secure. Unemployment was at all time lows for all races, especially in the black community. China was having to even put their trade practices with the US. Trump was walking into North Korea for crying out loud. Historic. Look up the Abraham Accords that Trump orchestrated between Arab nations and Israel. Gas prices were low, inflation too. I do not want to pay high gas prices. I have a family to feed. My opinion of Trump changed because I liked where "the ball was landing so to speak". Contrast Trump's four years with Biden. There's no question who I want back in office. Do I like Trump personally? Not really. But I liked the job he did as president. We get on Trump's escapades with women. Look up Harris' connection with Willie Brown and Montel Williams. Look at her record not what the media tells you. I'm a staunch conservative but not a blind follower. I don't belong to either party. I go by the guy who fits my bottom line, what affects my pocketbook, and the guy who I think will help me lower my costs is Trump. Peace. (If you read all that, bless you.)

MC Instagram post (106,742) by Stacey from USA
Go and check out Mariah's latest Instagram post where she shows us all the different vocals sung in Heartbreaker. I always knew how involved MC was in the creation of every part of her songs. But to see something visual really hammers home how truly talented, a once in a generation talent, Mariah Carey. Wow. Just wow.

Favorite Rainbow track (106,736) by Stacey from USA
Very true, lol. But I gotta say I admire those who are unapologetically true to themselves than those who go with what's popular. That's how I life my life.

Anyway, Rainbow was never a huge favorite of mine. However, even if an album doesn't grab me as a whole, there are always those songs I love that make me grateful she put out that album.

Heartbreaker (esp. Heartbreaker/Love Hangover)
Can't Take That Away
Crybaby
After Tonight

You Don't Know What To Do

I even like the "Here we go now... what" lines at the end of It's Like That. I tend to stay away from rap centered remixes and/or album cuts. But these are so good, even I have to give them their due.

Favorite MC remixes (106,634) by Stacey from USA
Ahh yes, love me a list. I remember my oldest sister gave me an ABMB remix CD-5 for my birthday in 1996. It was the first time I heard the ABMB remix with Xscape and Da Brat. I had no idea Mariah remixed songs as much as she did. It was like discovering a whole new world. I definitely prefer her club versions to her slower R&B ones. Here's my list of favs in no particular order:

1. Dreamlover (Morales Club Mix Edit)
2. ATYNAF (C&C Radio Edit)
3. Joy To The World (Celebration Mix Edit)
4. Fantasy (Bad Boy Mix) & (Club Radio Edit)
5. ABMB (Mr. Dupri Mix) & (Def Classic Radio)
6. Honey (Classic Mix)
7. Butterfly (Meme Club Radio)
8. My All/Stay Awhile (No rap)
9. I Still Believe (Classic Club Mix Edit)
10. Shake It Off (Unofficial Morales Remix)*

*Sounds legit but I can't find it on any official CD release.
