About Dove from United States:

Re: Boy (I Need You) (92,413) (92,433) by Dove from United States Honestly, I'd never heard the original it was sampled from so maybe that's why I don't mind it. (Saturday 18 January 2020; 01:41)

Boy (I Need You) part 2 (92,404) by Dove from United States I am listening to Charmbracelet and was singing along, and damn my vocal cords hurt from trying to sing in that voice. (Thursday 16 January 2020; 23:09)

Boy (I Need You) (92,402) by Dove from United States I really like Boy (I Need You). I think it's so fun. It makes me dance and sing along with my friends when it comes on, especially in the car. I think Through the Rain and Bringin' On The Heartbreak were the best for single choices. When I think of good singles I think of songs that would sound good on the radio, songs I wouldn't change the station with. TTR and BOTH hold your attention. IMO so does B(INY) I don't really feel like The One does, even though I do like it. (Thursday 16 January 2020; 23:02)

Re: You're vs You Don't Know What as first single (92,400) by Dove from United States I would have chosen Make it Look Good as the second single after #Beautiful. (Thursday 16 January 2020; 22:54)

Songwriters Hall of Fame (92,399) by Dove from United States Congratulations Mimi. It looks like 2020 is going to be a great year for Mariah and the Lambily. (Thursday 16 January 2020; 22:51)

Re: You're Mine vs You Don''t Know What as first single (92,396) (92,398) by Dove from United States I thought The Art of Letting Go was released first, way before the album came out. (Thursday 16 January 2020; 22:50)

Re: Mariah, Dwayne and Mykall-Michelle in a movie (92,288) (92,292) by Dove from United States Mariah and Dwayne Johnson look so good together. He should play her love interest in a music video at least. (Sunday 12 January 2020; 15:38)

Re: The memoir (92,284) (92,286) by Dove from United States Same. (Sunday 12 January 2020; 02:43)

Migrate duet with Ariana (92,283) by Dove from United States If Ariana and Mariah did a duet of Migrate, Mykal-Michelle Harris can play young Mariah and Monroe can play Ariana. (They could straighten her hair and give her a high ponytail.) They could shoot at the amusement park where Fantasy was filmed and have choreographed routines. Nick (Cannon) and Mariah can direct it and Tanaka can choreograph it. Of course Rocky would be in it too. (Sunday 12 January 2020; 01:06)

Next album (92,265) by Dove from United States I think she should do two new albums. One with original and current music that she pours her heart and soul into with the hot new producers of today. The second one my duet idea (a few posts back) with the better singers of our generation. It apeals to the nostalgia in us older folk and she doesn't have to do much. Just send the stems to a good producer (who knows what they're doing) and have the other artists sing their parts. When it's almost done Mariah can add her little adlibs or whatever. I nominate Walter Afanasief (for the nostolgia). I don't like this idea if she duets tired songs like Hero and ABMB, though. I want the good album cuts to get attention. (Saturday 11 January 2020; 09:45)

Next video idea (92,264) by Dove from United States It would be cute if the next single was an uptempo song and dem kids and the little girl from Mixed-ish had a choreographed dance routine like Maddie Ziegler in the Sia videos. Like 75% of the video. I would love if the single was something they would play while you're on a ride at the State Fair. (Saturday 11 January 2020; 09:37)

Thanks for responses (92,227) by Dove from United States I sometimes forget about songs and performances and like to be reminded periodically. (Wednesday 8 January 2020; 10:48)

Televised performances (92,214) by Dove from United States Is it really expensive to keep performance videos up? I really liked the Jimmy Fallon one with the short pink sparkly dress when she sang The Distance. I even like the one with the huge pink dress and the men dancing around her when she sang With You. And when she sang IWTKWLI on The View. And Bye Bye in the short black dress on American Idol. It would be nice if they had those in high quality for us to watch. What are some of your favorite televised performances? (Tuesday 7 January 2020; 15:37)

Re: Up out my face (92,209) (92,213) by Dove from United States Yeah, you're exactly right. I don't mind the vanity shot videos sometimes but when we get something different it's such a treat. Like UOMF or Obsessed. I really like the parts in With You where she's just walking down the street. I just rewatched You're Mine and some parts of that are nice too. I think my all time favorite video of hers is Fantasty though. (Tuesday 7 January 2020; 15:18)

Up out my face (92,203) by Dove from United States I really like the video for UOMF. (Tuesday 7 January 2020; 00:59)

Correction (92,190) (92,191) by Dove from United States Where we can't take our eyes off the screen. And no more looking directly at the camera. (Monday 6 January 2020; 15:52)

Re: New album (92,177) (92,190) by Dove from United States I read my last post and felt a little bad. When I say performances I meant the televised ones because in person she does a whole lot better. I feel like the televised ones and music videos matter though because people who aren't that into her, or have never heard of her, judge her based on those. That's all I meant. I just want something captivating where we can't take my eyes off the screen. I think it would be better if there was acting and a storyline. And no lipsyncing. Only actually singing and then matching it up. Like in Forever. (Monday 6 January 2020; 15:49)

Re: New album (92,175) (92,177) by Dove from United States I think One Mo Gen was catchy. Would have been better if it would have been a little faster though. #Beautiful too. Just didn't like the "uh uh" before she sang "you're beautiful" and the video was a little cringe. She looked pretty, and her body looked fit, and the backgrounds looked great, but something about it was hard to watch. At least for me. HATEU, You're Mine, I Don't, and Infinity too. All the components are there but it doesn't add up. The songs are great, she never disappoints there. Videos and performances sometimes leave a lot to be desired though. (Monday 6 January 2020; 12:02)

Re: E=MC2 era (92,157) (92,169) by Dove from United States Maybe that was just her "look" that era? (Sunday 5 January 2020; 23:48)

Correction (92,141) by Dove from United States And now I know I've succeeded in finding the place I conceived. (Saturday 4 January 2020; 11:52)

Re: I Had A Vision Of Love (92,132) (92,134) by Dove from United States I like that title because I interpret that song being about her life and music career. She envisioned making music for a living and the universe/God gave her the desire of her heart and in abundance. Everything that has happened in her life needed to happen and took her to where she was meant to be. She's grateful for all of it. One of my favorite lines is: And now I know I've succeeded in finding the place I'd conceived. (Saturday 4 January 2020; 00:09)

Re: New album (92,126) (92,131) by Dove from United States You're right, marketing and money does make a huge difference. Otherwise how can we explain Gweneth Paltrow winning for Shakespeare in Love? (Friday 3 January 2020; 23:45)

Re: Article: Carey struggling to sell tickets in Las Vegas (92,127) (92,130) by Dove from United States I agree. It's time to take a break from Vegas. (Friday 3 January 2020; 23:30)

New album idea (92,124) by Dove from United States Even though I love Mariah's original songs sometimes they're so ahead of their time that I don't fully appreciate them until years later. I kinda want familiar and gimmicky right now. I feel like it's faster to put together and gets attention. I feel like radio doesn't play her because the majority of the younger audience isn't interested. Just like on the singing competition shows, the younger contestants usually win. Honestly, I get it. Even though I'm sure Tony Bennet and Barbra Streisand are super talented, they sound old timey to me and I'm not really interested. They're before my time. I feel like we need something that will catch people's attention so I'm on board with the duets album but only with women, and only great singers who have been popular, and (most) who were obviously inspired by Mariah. Leona Lewis, JoJo, Christina Aguilera, Beyonce, Adele, Ariana Grande, Kelly Clarkson, Mary J. Blige, Jennifer Hudson, Gaga, Celine Dion, Toni Braxton, Lauryn Hill, Brandy, Katharine McPhee, Pink, Alicia Keys, etc. Not super popular anymore but I love Fantasia's voice. I love Jewel's voice too but not sure how it would sound with Mariah's. I mentioned this before but I think it's a good idea so I'll mention it again: remake some of her songs into songs for God. If One Sweet Day becomes a #1 hit it could be the longest running #1 hit again. (Sidenote: I know Christina Aguilera over-sings sometimes and she said negative things about Mariah going crazy but she was young back then. I'm sure she regrets it. I'm not a huge fan of hers because she seems snobby and acts like she's better than everyone but she is one of the better and more popular singers of our generation.) (Friday 3 January 2020; 20:51)
