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.

Re: No rap edit (72,186) (72,238) by Stacey from USA Thank you for the link. I like the song, but think the rap is so out of place. (Monday 6 February 2017; 4:55)

I Don't (72,132) by Stacey from USA The song has potential, except for one thing: YG. The rap verse is so unnecessary and seems out of place. Ugh, let the rap collabo go, Mariah. The video? Just awful. (Saturday 4 February 2017; 4:44)

Re: I Don't (71,772) (71,847) by Stacey from USA I gotta agree. The short clip made the song sound horrible. But when you hear the song from the very beginning, it actually sounds quite catchy. So, I'll take a few steps back and wait for the full song. I like how she's working with a singer instead of another rapper. (Tuesday 31 January 2017; 4:52)

New song snippet (71,727) by Stacey from USA Wow, and I thought Infinity was the worst thing MC's ever written. Yikes. (Saturday 28 January 2017; 21:03)

Re: Lipping and off you go (69,073) (69,175) by Stacey from USA Amen. Preach brother, preach. (Tuesday 6 December 2016; 21:13)

Re: Stelle is here to stay (69,166) (69,174) by Stacey from USA Ugh, not good. Anyway, nice avatar. Such a great album. (Tuesday 6 December 2016; 21:09)

Re: Freak show (69,145) (69,173) by Stacey from USA Back to the Grammys 2006 topic? Yikes, that was so yesterday for me. Duuude, move on. I moved on from that discussion a long time ago. More important things to worry about, you know. Watch that video again. Parts are clearly lipped, especially during the final FLAB chorus. But, I digress. Just because a majority of folks say one thing doesn't mean the contrary opinion is invalid. Peace. (Tuesday 6 December 2016; 21:08)

Re: Freak show (69,099) (69,120) by Stacey from USA Terna, nothing new for me. I'm used to being in the minority of thought. Doesn't mean I'm wrong. Peace. (Tuesday 6 December 2016; 0:09)

Re: My "Infinity" re-edit (69,051) (69,076) by Stacey from USA I have the mp3 Skip made. I'll email it to you. (Monday 5 December 2016; 4:27)

Re: Freak show (69,031) (69,075) by Stacey from USA That was my thought when I saw her Divas outfit. Ridiculous. Is this what we've come to? I'm sorry, but I miss 90s Mariah. There was something so mature about her, even after she left Tommy. (Monday 5 December 2016; 4:24)

Ugh (69,048) by Stacey from USA I am so sick of her boobs always hanging out. Enough already. Ugh. (Sunday 4 December 2016; 10:21)

Re: VH1 (68,384) (68,388) by Stacey from USA Luke, I've thinking the same thing. I've been watching her guest spot on Michael Buble's Christmas special a lot lately. Her short red dress, cool looking white boots, and hair were great. But even more importantly her voice sounded great. Her acapella with Jimmy Fallon was awesome as well. She can't mess this performance up. With all the drama surrounding her breakup with JP, she needs a good performance to distract from all that. (Thursday 17 November 2016; 0:41)

MC JP split (67,993) by Stacey from USA I wish them both the best. Breakups are hard, especially when you're a celebrity. Quite honestly it doesn't surprise me this happened. The things I saw Mariah do didn't seem like someone who is engaged should do. Maybe I'm old fashioned. Who knows? Maybe JP got tired of all her over the top public antics. Or maybe MC got tired of JP always wanting to stay home, lol. Either way, it's sad to see something end. (Saturday 5 November 2016; 3:57)

Infamous (66,848) by Stacey from USA I like it. It was a nice surprise. After Infinity, anything done would have been a step in the right direction, lol. My only complaint is the extended use of Jussie's auto tune. It was too much. Honestly, had he just sang his part, the song would have been perfect. I like MC's vocals on this song. Her mid-range sounds so rich. I like how both singers go back and forth instead of one singer sings one verse and vice versa. It definitely suits the mood Empire brings to the screen. 7/10 (Thursday 29 September 2016; 21:41)

Infamous (66,798) by Stacey from USA After the debacle that was Infinity (sorry, but it really was that bad) we get Infamous. This song restored my faith that Mariah can still sing good music. The only part that bugged me was Jussie's overuse of the autotune. Anyways, enjoy. (Thursday 29 September 2016; 6:27)

Re: Miley vs Mariah (66,788) (66,797) by Stacey from USA Miley who? (Thursday 29 September 2016; 6:22)

Re: Mariah's World update (64,902) (64,918) by Stacey from USA RJ112, I actually think it makes sense to release it after Thanksgiving. MC owns Christmas. (Wednesday 3 August 2016; 16:33)

Re: And you don't remember (64,059) (64,066) by Stacey from USA Funny you mention that song. It's been running through my mind lately. Great song. (Thursday 7 July 2016; 5:51)

Re: Be civilized (62,841) (62,857) by Stacey from USA No matter how many times you say it, some will never get it. (Monday 30 May 2016; 20:25)

Re: Stacey (62,820) (62,833) by Stacey from USA Yep, that must be it. I'm so delusional and in denial. You are so right. Gosh, thank you so much for clearing things up for me. The ironic thing is, I could say the same thing about your opinion. Making up drama about Celine that just isn't there. Peace. (Monday 30 May 2016; 5:23)

Re: Divas 96 (the trinity, in memoria) (62,798) (62,809) by Stacey from USA I couldn't agree more. (Sunday 29 May 2016; 10:13)

Re: Celine, Patti, Aretha, and all that stuff (62,783) (62,808) by Stacey from USA Haha, thanks for the reply, Deedre. I can always count on you for a fair opinion. I've watched Divas Live 1998 plenty of times. It was a great concert for a great cause. This idea that Celine was trying to make it about her by letting fly with a few riffs is ridiculous. Talk about creating drama out of nothing. Even Carole and Randy's commentary back that up. Anyway, I've spent too much time on this already. (Sunday 29 May 2016; 10:13)

Re: Stacey (62,779) (62,807) by Stacey from USA To me this is all just a bunch of much "ado about nothing". I just got done watching a bunch of videos (before I saw your post Nikki) from Divas Live and I gotta tell you, it looked like Celine was just having fun during Natural Woman (and especially during Testimony). She's back there dancing with Shania, Carole with Gloria, all having a good time. Honestly, I don't get why some are getting worked up over drama that IMO just isn't there. They all were on stage having a good time. If Mariah held back because she deemed such a choice respectful of Aretha, then fine. That's her opinion and choice. It doesn't make Celine disrespectful for choosing to enjoy the moment by letting a few notes fly. Aretha had more than enough solo time. Please. This whole notion is so unfounded. Peace. (Sunday 29 May 2016; 10:08)

Re: Celine, Patti, Aretha, and all that stuff (62,760) (62,776) by Stacey from USA See though, I don't think Celine was trying to out sing anyone. I don't see Celine as that kind of self-serving diva. I've watched the performance of Natural Woman many times. All the divas were singing, then there was a moment to the end where Celine stepped in front and wailed a few riffs. The rest of the song showcased all the divas doing their thing. I don't see Celine ignoring her "place", trying to upstage Aretha. She had a moment and sang. Other divas had their moments. I just don't see the problem. Celine has always shown great respect and admiration for other artists that paved the way for her. Celine has had an amazing career. Why is it such an issue for her to have a moment? I just don't get "it", apparently, lol. (Saturday 28 May 2016; 19:11)

Celine, Patti, Aretha, and all that stuff (62,756) by Stacey from USA I can remain quiet no more on this subject. Celine trying to out sing Aretha? Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the 1998 show called Divas Live? I don't recall producers calling it the Aretha Franklin tribute. This whole notion that Celine was trying to upstage Aretha is ridiculous. Celine is successful just like the other divas on stage, so what's wrong in being allowed to show off for a moment during a song? Mariah had no issues doing it during Chain Of Fools. In fact, her and Aretha were battling for vocal supremacy during the final moments of song. I hear no complaints toward MC trying to outsing Aretha. Seems to me the issue is with Celine personally, masking the dislike for her or any other singer behind some silly upstaging argument. I don't understand pitting one artist against the other. I can like MC without putting Celine down and vice versa. I must be gifted in my ability to read messages about other singers without the need to criticize them, lol. (Saturday 28 May 2016; 1:23)
