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.

Brad, Baby, G.G. (48,069) by Stacey from USA Brad and Baby, keep your posts coming. It's always fun to discuss song meanings. I'm sure MC giggles a bit at all the theories we as fans throw out there. Your posts make for an enlightening discussion. G.G., just "shake it off". We all know who is respectful here and who is not. (Tuesday 25 November 2014; 20:02)

Dem babies / Slipping Away (47,918) by Stacey from USA Lee TS, thanks for sharing that video. I like when Mariah has her kids come on stage. It shows a side of Mariah that is refreshing to see. My son was born two weeks before Roc n Roe. He also calls me chicken from time to time, lol. I will also throw my hat in and give a shout out to Slipping Away. Such a fabulous beat. Such powerful vocals. Wow. (Saturday 15 November 2014; 6:44)

WBT/Lenny mashup, Edward (47,904) by Stacey from USA Oh dahling, you know what I'm going to ask you for, right? I'd love to exercise to it as well. That was awesome. The two songs fit so well together, in the same key, etc. It didn't sound cheaply made. (Wednesday 12 November 2014; 19:59)

Edward (47,816) by Stacey from USA Glad you enjoyed the video. I love AIWFCIY and how it puts a smile on my face. I choose to ignore any drama and fight fire with snow at this time of year. I love Miss You Most too. Gosh, that whole album is Christmas perfection. Here's wishing you all here a great Christmas season. (Wednesday 5 November 2014; 22:10)

Get into the season (47,809) by Stacey from USA I choose to flick the drama off my shoulders by posting such a wonderful song to kick off the Christmas season. 20 years ago this song was released. Hard to believe, I know. And to this day it remains an absolute classic in the same league as White Christmas and The Christmas Song. Here's to my "boyfriend" Edward, lol. Even though I'm a happily married woman to a wonderful man for 13 years. (Wednesday 5 November 2014; 8:04)

Abraham / tour (47,639) by Stacey from USA Abraham, I hesitate to write this because I know the drama that will follow. Then there is that one time where you just have to speak up. My post was all positive. And yet you manage to take one name you found annoying and post something critical. If PH is singing MC's praises, you know she is shutting up her critics, something I assumed all fans including yourself would agree with. Silly me, lol. Tour; In any event, she is sounding better with each stop. I can't wait for that first album post tour. After CB, we got the fabulous TEOM-like Daydream part II album. And you all know Daydream is my jam. I remember getting all giddy hearing snippets of TEOM. I can't wait for that place she'll be in post tour and what songs may come from it. (Tuesday 28 October 2014; 1:58)

Edward / Hero in Singapore (47,628) by Stacey from USA As always, thank you for the Lullaby of Birdland mp3. Here's hoping we get a studio version someday. Wow, she sounded amazing. Hero was my first song I ever heard and I've been hooked for over 21 years. You know if Perez Hilton is singing MC's praises, she must be doing something right. (Monday 27 October 2014; 18:24)

Hello Edward (47,611) by Stacey from USA Could you do a girl a favor and send me an mp3 of Lullaby of Birdland? Pretty please? I completely with your thoughts about the end of Supernatural. Those moments need to happen more, moments where we see MC let her guard down and be herself. I get the diva act is her shtick, but it sometimes gets old and often leads to negative press, something we can all agree she doesn't need. You can tell she loves her kids. It was cute. Email: daydreamer. butterfly@gmail. com (Saturday 25 October 2014; 23:27)

Lullaby of Birdland (47,595) by Stacey from USA Oh my gosh, put that freaking song in an album already, dang that was so good. (Saturday 25 October 2014; 9:34)

Lee TS (47,593) by Stacey from USA That end was too precious. The part where Roc said hello back to MC was so sweet. As a fellow mom to a 3 1/2 year old boy, I love those moments too. Roe was funny. All she wanted was her binky, lol. And you could see MC like one of us all saying, now you only get it at bedtime. Too funny. Thanks for sharing. And yes, her voice sounded great. (Saturday 25 October 2014; 9:31)

Marissa, Edward (47,579) by Stacey from USA Amen, amen, and a huge, gigantic amen to you. I could not have expressed those sentiments any better. Perfect post. Edward, your post was great too. It's ironic to me. The people calling others haters are the drama seekers in reality. The rest of us are just trying to have an enjoyable conversation, even if at times we disagree. Some fans take a disagreement so dang personally, like disagreeing with their opinion is the same as a personal insult. It's so laughable, really. Anyways, those folks are the ones who need to grab a chair and sit down, and chill the heck out, lol. It ain't that deep. (Friday 24 October 2014; 19:28)

Adam (47,475) by Stacey from USA I agree with your last post. Those comments by Steve Bartels were crap. It's always driven me nuts this album didn't do better. Oh sure, I've resolved myself to know it will never get the public praise it deserves. But then, when I hear comments like that, I can't help but get mad again. YDKWTD sounds so great in the car and would have blown up on radio with the right promotion. *sigh* Oh well, it is what it is. Just crap this guy says stuff to cover his own behind. The album is that good and should have been promoted better. (Friday 17 October 2014; 19:32)

Edward (47,474) by Stacey from USA Your last post was spot on. There needs to be balance/moderation in all things. Extremes are not healthy nor productive, and IMO extreme viewpoints lead to more drama/arguments. I like how the webmaster posts any article related to Mariah. It allows for more discussion. If the more negative articles bother you, ignore them. Don't read them. You do have a choice. (Friday 17 October 2014; 19:28)

Edward / tour (47,312) by Stacey from USA I couldn't agree with you more in regards to your post to Andrew. You have to keep the name-calling out of it. And yet I'll also say, many here just need to chill and not take disagreements so dang personally. Folks need to lighten up. The drama is so unnecessary. I am glad to see MC doing better as her tour progresses. I was shocked watching videos of the opening night. (Thursday 9 October 2014; 6:35)

Shelly / Shezz (47,057) by Stacey from USA Shelly, I have the "Out in Japan" concert. During my collecting days, I had two CDs, one produced in Japan and one from Australia. Both contain HQ recordings of all the songs. Shezz, I couldn't agree more. I've been saying "there's got to be a way" for fans to talk all things MC without all the drama. At 24 when I first started posting online, I got into it all the time with other fans. I took every disagreement so personally. I got so caught up in anger over fans who dared to talk about other artists on an MC fansite. Now at 37, I laugh at how silly and immature I acted. I could care less if folks want to posts lists of their favs or talk about Ariana Grande. It doesn't matter what people discuss. I learned that from simply growing up. I guess some fans still have some growing up to do. Who knows, lol. In the end, faceless words here are so trivial to the more important things I see everyday (i.e. my family and friends). It's why I always say "it ain't that deep" because it's not. (Thursday 2 October 2014; 23:23)

Abraham / Travon (47,050) by Stacey from USA Abraham my friend, you know my last post to Travon? Well, it's about time we have that same conversation with you. You are welcome here. The drama is not. As MC would put it, "be nice or leave". My post referencing the "15 seconds of fame" was not rude. It was a fun/light-hearted reference to Meteorite. Lighten up. How long any of us have been fans apparently still does matter because some fans continue to think it's their place to question others loyalty to MC. When MC fans can discuss disagreements and not care who is the bigger fan, leaving their ego at the door, the need to defend one's support for MC will disappear. I am fully justified telling others to "back it up a bit" because I do my best to respect others. Over the years, my posts have always been free of personal insults/character attacks. Many people here know I conduct myself appropriately. So just chill and enjoy the discussion of all things Mariah. It ain't that deep, lol. Peace. Travon, my apologies for spelling your name wrong. (Thursday 2 October 2014; 19:26)

Trayvon (47,038) by Stacey from USA Just curious: why are you referencing me? Go back and read my posts to you in the past few days. Oh wait, there are none. I've been a fan since 1993, posting online since 2002. I'm 37, married, and a mother of three. Shoot, I've been a fan as long as you've been alive, lol. I've seen too many people post here thinking they can say whatever, go after whomever they want simply because they sit comfortably behind a computer screen. Back it up a bit and don't be so aggressive. We are all fans. However, just because Edward sees an issue differently than you do doesn't make him sound like a "non-fan" as you put it. It drives me crazy when one fan calls into question another fan's dedication because of a disagreement. It's not your place. You want the same courtesy and respect from other fans? Then be sure to give them that same treatment. Know what I mean? We are all fans here chatting about all things MC. You are welcomed. The drama is not. I've said my peace. Moving on. Peace. (Thursday 2 October 2014; 0:11)

Edward (47,030) by Stacey from USA There will always be people who need their 15 seconds of fame no matter how foolish it makes them look. Thankfully you don't need such drama to make your life meaningful. Well done. (Wednesday 1 October 2014; 5:36)

RJJ12 / The Roof (46,967) by Stacey from USA Thanks for the compliments. My excuse for not posting a ton? Kids, lol. Anyway, that video you posted is my favorite version of The Roof. It's often on my playlist over the original. And the video? One of her best. I've often been quite critical of MC in recent years in regards to her videos. The video for The Roof tells a story. It's not simply MC running around in a bathing suit or nothing at all, ala You're Mine. That concept is old. Her videos during the Butterfly era were and still are some of her best. (Friday 26 September 2014; 9:24)

Lists (46,963) by Stacey from USA It ain't that deep. Bill from the UK wins the "best comment of the day" award. (Thursday 25 September 2014; 23:36)

Ariana vs Mariah / Luis / 25 most underrated songs (46,860) by Stacey from USA Comparing Ariana to Mariah? Really people? Come back to reality folks and move on. Geesh. No, you're not the only one who has noticed MC is getting her appearance together. She's looks great. I hope she takes her time and gets this tour right. I hope it will put her in a good place musically like CB tour did for the next album TEOM. I was so happy to read that article. It was nice to see all her b-sides get some love. Those tracks are better than ones that appeared on her albums. DYTOM, EFA, and SA all have such a haunting feel to them. It was nice to see Circles get some love too. That run at minute 2:44 is one of her best. And Irresistible? What an infectious beat. One of her best. It reminds me just how vast and amazing her catalog is. (Saturday 20 September 2014; 1:08)

Mariah on tour / Thirsty / Cry (46,696) by Stacey from USA I am glad MC is going on tour. Being with her fans always seems to do her good, especially now. Plus, she always writes the best songs during tours too (ala TEOM during the CB tour). I also think it helps MC maintain a positive image, allows her to control the conversation out and about in public. At some point she'll have to talk about the divorce, but not right now. A better time would be when everything has been finalized and all parties have moved on. I loved MIAM from first listen. After news of the separation broke, I started listening to the album more closely, paying particular attention to the lyrics. Oh my gosh people, I can't understand how this album is not about Nick. His name is all over it. Even before we knew what was going on with MC and Nick, my first thought upon hearing Thirsty was it was about Nick, especially after hearing Faded. "You're not here for me" from Faded flows right into "thirsting for celebrity". Just makes sense, to me anways. We all know music is MC's therapy to deal with tough situations. This album screams Mariah's time on the couch. Yet instead of talking to a psychiatrist, she sings. And we get to enjoy amazing songs. My latest jam is Cry. Wow. It's taken me months to really grasp the depth of the song, but it's a favorite now. (Tuesday 9 September 2014; 17:40)

Mariah's silence (46,401) by Stacey from USA I understand some frustrations with Mariah remaining quiet. You want her to tell her side of the story, set the record straight. I get it. However, emotions are too raw right now. New information is coming to light everyday. MC didn't talk about her divorce from Tommy until years later, partly because she couldn't. Still though, it was wise to let the situation play out and it allowed her to move on. She handled her breakdown the same way. She recorded a new album and allowed the promotional tour to all the talk shows as a way to talk about what happened after the media had moved on to other news. I think Mariah is wise to stay quiet. 1) If Nick shoots off his mouth, over time, it makes him look silly. 2) Right now the media is controlling the conversation. In time when the divorce is final, Mariah will talk and be able to control the narrative as she's done in the past. Plus, she's got kids to think about too. That changes everything. (Tuesday 26 August 2014; 20:18)

Rediscovering MIAM (46,334) by Stacey from USA I have to say I am falling more in love with MIAM now that news of marriage troubles has come to light. What a fantastic and sad album too. I can't help but feel so sad for Mariah after listening to Camoflauge. The song reminds me so much of Petals. She thought that finally she had found a happy marriage, kids, family life, etc. People can say Butterfly is her most vulnerable album. But, after all that's gone on in the past week, MIAM might just might bump Butterfly off that top spot, IMO. I've been letting every song play one after the other and you can see why the sequencing was so important. Brilliant talent. (Sunday 24 August 2014; 8:02)

Stephen (46,333) by Stacey from USA I could not agree more with your last post. Mariah Carey is a brand that will never go away. Her legacy is set in stone. Numbers don't lie. It seems after a struggle, MC always comes back and knocks down the naysayers. MC's career/direction/focus has been off since marrying Nick Cannon. I was skeptical of the marriage, but gladly ate crow because she genuinely looked happy. With having kids, as a fellow parent (my son was born 2 weeks before M&M), I was glad she got the chance to experience being a mom. It's the great job on earth. But, some of the things he's said about their relationship I've stated here should have remained private. I've trying not to dig too hard on Nick, though. I hope he'll do the right thing and tell his parents to shut up and let Mariah move forward. The difference with this divorce then with Tommy is now there are kids involved. I hope Nick and Mariah can be friends. Ironic MC was also 3 when her parents divorced. (Sunday 24 August 2014; 7:58)
