Re: Jazz album (76,764) (76,802) by Terna from Nigeria No. When she's 80+ maybe. I hate Jazz, that's for old people. (Saturday 1 July 2017; 13:17)

Re: "It's important to have his and hers everything" (76,702) (76,718) by Terna from Nigeria Eduoard, your positive attitude and optimism makes me smile and kinda reminds me of Mariah. It's ones like you I believe are real people first of all, and true lambs. You stand out easily on here and are a breath of fresh air. Don't change. Lots of love. (Tuesday 27 June 2017; 20:09)

Re: Can we all celebrate the fact (76,701) (76,717) by Terna from Nigeria I know right? She dodged a bullet with that breakup. I didn't even like that guy, he kinda bugged me. Take note even Brett cut ties with him. . Lol you gotta love Mariah. She's smart that cannot be denied. (Tuesday 27 June 2017; 19:49)

Re: Thank God I found You (76,558) (76,581) by Terna from Nigeria I love this thanks Edouard. It was filmed I guess during the "Rainbow" era and probably from the Home Coming special. I love this arrangement. (Friday 23 June 2017; 20:43)

Re: So much shade, but no substance (76,563) (76,580) by Terna from Nigeria I couldn't have said it better. I'm glad most of us fans don't just take one side of the story and run with it. By now as a Mariah Carey fan, one should know stories are made up and comments blown way outta proportion when it involves Mariah. They want her to fail and fall so bad. Smh, sorry sore losers. Lol. (Friday 23 June 2017; 20:27)

Re: Feuds? (76,383) (76,394) by Terna from Nigeria Oh I love "Clown". One of Charmbracelet's strong highlights. But it wasn't damaging enough because he still kept running his mouth. Until the real "pow" in form of Obsessed. Haha. (Sunday 18 June 2017; 03:21)

Re: Feuds? (76,381) (76,393) by Terna from Nigeria The Warning didn't end nothing please. That was poor pissed Eminem spitting fire after that girl Mariah had destroyed him permanently. I'd say he met his match and then some with Mariah. Hehe Bedides. No one heard "The Warning", it was a cowardly underground release nobody checked for only his waning handful of stans (*witchy Wendy cackle*). Meanwhile you couldn't escapse "Obsessed" and had to have been living under a rock not to have heard that song. Haha. (Sunday 18 June 2017; 03:17)

Re: Feuds? (76,370) (76,376) by Terna from Nigeria B. Mariah vs. Eminem. Sometimes you gotta put that troll in its place, and she sure ended his existence with the most scathing diss song ever, he didn't see that one coming. Lol. And I loved every minute of it, And loved her even more. Plus did I mention it was a worldwide hit? Lol. (Saturday 17 June 2017; 17:00)

Re: Skydiving (76,339) (76,358) by Terna from Nigeria And that's just your own opinion. I still stick by my original post that "Skydiving" is Mariah at her story telling best. You have to read between the lines on that song. Its story isn't direct like say "Betcha gon know" or "The Roof" from Butterfly. And mind you the version we've heard of "Skydiving" is a very rough one take, almost demo-like. There easily could've been a bridge and a third verse. (Friday 16 June 2017; 16:49)

Re: Who would you pick (76,309) (76,331) by Terna from Nigeria Maybe Enya or Lisa Gerrard. (Thursday 15 June 2017; 20:15)

Re: Skydiving (76,314) (76,330) by Terna from Nigeria That's my favorite "Memoirs " song easily. And it didn't even make the cut. Lol. Mariah Carey at her story telling best (all caps) and the fact that it seems longer than it actually is. There's a lot of emotions on that song. But the sadness and longing when she wails in the background gets me everytime. (Thursday 15 June 2017; 20:13)

Re: Mariah can walk by herself (76,157) (76,170) by Terna from Nigeria Or maybe it's just who she is, ever stopped to think about that too? The tip-toe thing I know for sure isn't an act because I too do it, ever since I was a kid, and I've met others who do it too. I guess I would call it a personality trait or something, To me I would say it just feels irritating to walk fully barefoot without foot wear on, like it really bugs me. She just calls it invincible heels. Lol. And I do it most times unconciously. I also can't stand pictures of space and planets (freaks me out), large bodies of water, icebergs and heights. Strange yeah I know. Hehe. (Friday 9 June 2017; 20:25)

Re: Melt Away on Waiting to Exhale? (76,139) (76,169) by Terna from Nigeria I don't think it would've fit on that soundtrack at all, it's more pop sounding (Pop/R&B) than R&B and that's a Soul/R&B record through and through. And I'm kinda glad it wasn't. "Melt Away" is one of Daydream's best cuts. And a Mariah classic. (Friday 9 June 2017; 19:53)

Camilla Cabello (76,165) by Terna from Nigeria With a lyric video visual like this, I don't think this song needs a video. Hastag deep. (Friday 9 June 2017; 18:33)

Subtleties (76,085) by Terna from Nigeria Can your spot them? (Tuesday 6 June 2017; 23:51)

Re: Praying for London (76,028) (76,036) by Terna from Nigeria At what point do we, they in the UK, stop praying and start acting. Smh. (Sunday 4 June 2017; 19:24)

Re: Artists you love that may surprise others (76,000) (76,007) by Terna from Nigeria That's strange, because I would say same bout you too. So it's cool we agree on miss Tebaldi. I fell in love with her voice the moment I heard her sing "Un bel di vedremo" she is Madame Butterfly. (Saturday 3 June 2017; 21:02)

The voice of our generation (76,006) by Terna from Nigeria This clip made my heart glad. (Saturday 3 June 2017; 20:50)

Oops. (Saturday 3 June 2017; 09:49)

Re: I'll do it for money, honey (75,920) (75,949) by Terna from Nigeria I feel like like she's uninspired, make no mistake Mariah is still a hit machine. But it's not all about only the music anymore. Becoming a mother changed her, it's a greater love. Whitney said it to her on Oprah way back. Even Chaka Khan too went something along the lines of "it's gonna change her" I believe. Apparently they were right. She's just not as driven anymore, nor as eager as in her youth, and justifiably so look how much she's achieved, she's done it all (all caps). Mariah is music royalty, do you guys even realize that? (Thursday 1 June 2017; 22:45)

Re: I was born at night, not last night (75,880) (75,946) by Terna from Nigeria Haha. Now that's an essay I sure didn't read. Lol I sure did hit a nerve now didn't I Lila? Keep on being pressed. Bye. (Thursday 1 June 2017; 22:27)

Re: I was born at night, not last night (75,868) (75,875) by Terna from Nigeria "Why mention finish if it hasn't even begun and now we're hearing it's barely anything." And you say you're not getting worked up? Lol. Yet you talk about reading and comprehension, my reading and comprehension is top notch. It's the reason why I was a straight A English student and still am. [censored] You have nothing positive to say here, always complaining. [censored] [censored] Because if you did have a life, half the things that bug you so much about Mariah that you see the need to come on here and make a fool of yourself wouldn't even matter. It's not that deep. Damn. Churning our negativity like it's your second nature, yet hiding behind a Mariah picture anonymously, how pathetic. Lmao. Spread love Lila not hate it's gonna consume you very soon. (Tuesday 30 May 2017; 14:11)

Re: I was born at night, not last night (75,837) (75,862) by Terna from Nigeria And you're getting so worked up on her album not being ready because? I bet you're one of the gremlins who didn't purchase the "Elusive Chanteuse" album. Trust me when I said that woman isn't gonna drop an album in a very very (caps) long time. Maybe not even in this decade. (Monday 29 May 2017; 20:43)

Re: Battle of the albums (75,857) (75,860) by Terna from Nigeria Honestly I feel the same way too, there's just no comparing "Emotions" to "Mariah Carey". That debut is still the best so far by any (all caps) new artist, point blank period. There's a reason why the album "Emotions" suffered a sophomore slump. It's just bland, dark, headache inducing and has absolutely no personality of Mariah on it, it's just empty. Talk about a snooze fest. It's my least favorite and least played Mariah album. Only tracks worth mentioning are "Can't Let Go", "The Wind" and "Make it Happen". Meanwhile the debut has "Vision of Love" and "Love Takes Time", two powerful, timeless, classics from the same album. Enough said. (Monday 29 May 2017; 20:33)

Re: Daydream (75,754) (75,765) by Terna from Nigeria No I beg to differ, a lyric soprano and a spinto soprano are two very different voices. The term "spinto" is what's referring to a pushed sound. So when someone is classified a lyric - spinto she has the ability to push and cut through loud orchestration or in modern times, loud music, although it's not advisable because she's not a true spinto. Mariah isn't a light lyric spinto that would be someone like say Ariana, Jessie J or Cheryl Gamble (Coko), her voice is much thicker than those three and has a heft to it. Celine isn't a spinto at all, she's a lyric. Listen to Licia's favorite song "Infinity" (hehe) her voice cuts through on the "dream" part or "Fly like a bird" (her voice is pushed on the "survive" part) and the final belt in "The art of letting go". That's a lyric-spinto. Coloratura just means agile. . Christina is metallic in her belts, too metallic if anything. A mezzo would be Beyoncé and Shirley Caesar. (Friday 26 May 2017; 14:33)
