About Edward from USA:

VMAs: somewhere in a dark room (111,041) by Edward from USA
Mariah was Christina's idol since she was a little girl. The problem with Christina, in my humble opinion, is that she went into her own "Metamorphosis" too soon. By her second album, she had gone from "girl next door" to "girl butt wild". Had she not made that comment about Mariah, they would've probably been in good terms. But her biggest mistake ever was acting the way she did towards the Queen of Soul.

VMAs (111,035) by Edward from USA
I actually like how everything played out. The rest of the year belongs to Mariah. These are exciting times.

We Belong Together (111,029) by Edward from USA
That snippet of "We Belong Together" floating around on the Internet sounds great to me, but it also looks a little bit suspicious. Any comments?

The Moon Man (111,026) by Edward from USA
I loved Mariah's camaraderie with Ariana. I'm so glad Mariah changed her attitude towards Ari about three years ago or so. Ariana referring to Mariah as "mother", given the significance of that, it's simply epic and the greatest show of respect. I'm very proud of both of them. I can't effing wait for "HFIA".

That's been settled almost from the inception of MCArchives.

Best R&B (111,006) by Edward from USA
They usually do that on most award shows. If they didn't, these shows would be way longer than usual.

It's coming (110,991) by Edward from USA
I can't wait for "Here For It All" to finally drop. Looking forward to reading the reactions here.

Kai Cenat's stream (110,981) by Edward from USA
That's why I like the interview, she was uncomfortable on that chair, sitting so low, her inner diva would've pulled a RuPaul and sasheyed away, but instead, she adapted and look real. The diva was gone, the woman, the artist was there. That's the Mariah I miss.

Kai Cenat's stream (110,967) by Edward from USA
I agree. Mariah has been looking disengaged on many of her regular interviews, but she had kind of a motherly attitude with Kai and his friends.

Daydream (110,961) by Edward from USA
I can understand why "One Night" didn't make the final cut. While it definitely possesses the "Daydream" voice and delivery, its subject doesn't go well with the theme of the album.

Kai Cenat's stream (110,954) by Edward from USA
Dear Bill, as I told Randy, I guess we're getting old. The beauty of the interview was in its messiness. Kai wasn't being disrespectful, he was being himself, messy, but authentic. I was like: can you stop with what's on the screen and focus on Ms. Carey? They were just being typical gen z's. He has 1.3M subscribers more than Mariah. The mission was accomplished.

Daydream (110,953) by Edward from USA
"Open Arms" is one of Mariah's finest covers. The track that really deserved a spot on "Daydream" is "One Night". While "Slipping Away" is a great song, I don't think it would've blended well sonically with the rest of the album. Suggesting that "Slipping Away" should've replaced "Open Arms" is sacrilegious and a clear violation of the sacred "Daydream" code. Messing with the integrity of a Mariah's masterpiece is an automatic ban on this board. This time is just a slight reprimand, but don't let it happen again.

When I saw you (110,941) by Edward from USA
When I Saw You has always been one of my favorites from "Daydream". It's incredible that Mariah, at such a young age, crafted lyrics with so much depth, beauty and emotional resonance. To me, she never quite captured that same poetic magic again after "Charmbracelet", with the exception of "Randy's Theme". The songs she wrote later on were still heartfelt, but their structures felt a bit simpler and less poetic by comparison.

When I saw you (110,938) by Edward from USA
Her voice on Daydream is just like butter. Smooth, nuanced, powerful but never too showy. Daydream is pure perfection. In my humble opinion, "Butterfly" is her magnum opus though. That album could've been titled "Metamorphosis". When I saw Mariah on "Honey", so sexy and beutiful, for a moment I questioned my sexuality.

Kai Cenat's stream (110,927) by Edward from USA
I how informal and real this interview is. Mariah is cooped up on that low chair not giving two f***s about it. She's alert, fun and interested. Very relatable. It's obvious Gamma was taking advantage of those 13.5M subscribers, who wouldn't? A well-deserved A+ for Mariah.

Here for it all/The Era Of Mi (110,921) by Edward from USA
I agree, "Here For It All" really works as a title, especially considering everything Mariah's been through since "MIAM". It feels strong, honest, and like she's embracing her whole journey. "The Era of Mi" sounds more like a flashy, attention-grabbing name, and without much depth behind it, it just wouldn't hit the same.

Superbowl Mariah (110,894) by Edward from USA
I agree on the fact that Mariah definitely has the hits to crush the Super Bowl Halftime Show, but hits alone aren't enough. Those performances move at lightning speed with no room for diva pauses. She can't just stand in one spot or rely on her "human sticks" to move her slowly across the stage. In my opinion, that ship has sailed. On top of that, the rehearsals for the halftime are relentless and precise, and according to Mariah, she doesn't like the stress. I wouldn't like her to put herself through that, we had enough with what happened on that new year's eve during Contourella reign of terror. I think she would've done great back in 2006 though.

MC back in the studio (110,837) by Edward from USA
I think it just dawned on her that an 11-track album after 7 years won't cut it. It's been too long, 14 tracks would be fine.

Christmas shows (110,813) by Edward from USA
Of course she is going all out this Christmas. "AIWFCIY" is two weeks away from dethroning Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road" and Shaboozey's "A Bar Song (Tipsy)". After that she should release "Someone's Ugly Daughter".

MC the GOAT (110,806) by Edward from USA
I've never liked the constant blame game, it's always someone else's fault but Mariah's. Framing a powerful, intelligent, and successful woman as if she's perpetually helpless is just another way of infantilizing her. Mariah has been steering her career for decades now. An artist in "shackles" wouldn't have been allowed to put out a video openly mocking her label's head like that.

Yes, Tommy was controlling and evil at some point, but she also built a thriving career and life beyond him. Mariah has always been an active participant in her own story, it's not as if Nick and Stella just happened to her. Even when she was only 19, she was making choices, and now at 56, with years of experience and every tool at her disposal, she continues to do so. The woman have human walking sticks for heaven sake.

All of her life's lessons have shaped her into the woman she is today: an icon, not a victim. So, however this show plays out, good or bad, she's part of it.

Article: Mariah Carey unveils "Here for It All" track list (110,794) by Edward from USA
I don't think it has anything to do with that. Why would they release "Sugar Sweet" as her second single and not send it to radio? Of course it was sent. The truth is, "Sugar Sweet" just didn't gain much traction. Not releasing a video was actually a smart move from a business standpoint.

Jamie, stop being a glutton. If she keeps dropping new stuff now, we'll have nothing left by September 26. I know the wait is brutal, but hang in there. Besides, rumor has it there's a Mariah-only version of Sugar Sweet.

And that doesn't seem to be a mistake since the Billboard article clearly mentions only two collabos. I think Mariah released the remix first. Interesting.
