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.

May Céline inspire Mariah? (106,864) by Stacey from USA Well said. I watched that scene where she's having a seizure. Heartbreaking. (Thursday 11 July 2024; 04:18) this is a reply to message 106,854

May Céline inspire Mariah? (106,854) by Will from England "Miraculously she will soon be able to sing again and then a new album and book will be released about her struggles and then she's laughing all the way to the bank." To be so callus about a life threatning condition with no cure that triggers when she is doing something that brings her joy, is honesty horrible. I would hope that is there is nobody in the world who, after watching her actually have a seizure and what it looks like, would ever have the momentary flash of genuine thought that she would be "laughing all the way to the bank". What a careless, heartless comment to make and you should be ashamed. (Wednesday 10 July 2024; 01:31)

Rap features (106,806) by Stacey from USA One of my favorite songs off The Rarities was Memorized. (Tuesday 25 June 2024; 04:53) this is a reply to message 106,804

Rap features (106,804) by Zachariah from Croatia I hope she will and I hope the new album will be Glitter 2 sounds. Disco vibe. I just love that album and I think she is going to revamp it. (Tuesday 25 June 2024; 00:15)

MC Instagram post (106,742) by Stacey from USA Go and check out Mariah's latest Instagram post where she shows us all the different vocals sung in Heartbreaker. I always knew how involved MC was in the creation of every part of her songs. But to see something visual really hammers home how truly talented, a once in a generation talent, Mariah Carey. Wow. Just wow. (Wednesday 19 June 2024; 00:28)

Favorite Rainbow track (106,736) by Stacey from USA Very true, lol. But I gotta say I admire those who are unapologetically true to themselves than those who go with what's popular. That's how I life my life. Anyway, Rainbow was never a huge favorite of mine. However, even if an album doesn't grab me as a whole, there are always those songs I love that make me grateful she put out that album. Heartbreaker (esp. Heartbreaker/Love Hangover) Can't Take That Away Crybaby After Tonight (Tuesday 18 June 2024; 03:01) this is a reply to message 106,733

Favorite Rainbow track (106,733) by Edward from USA Robert-Anthony, I am pretty sure if Mariah released a compilation of her farts on vinyl, you would buy it and find different nuances and real background harmonies on them. I admire your devotion for Mariah Carey. (Monday 17 June 2024; 20:39)

Top five rap verses on a MC song (106,637) by Stacey from USA Honey Heartbreaker Crybaby You Don't Know What To Do I even like the "Here we go now... what" lines at the end of It's Like That. I tend to stay away from rap centered remixes and/or album cuts. But these are so good, even I have to give them their due. (Wednesday 12 June 2024; 07:18) this is a reply to message 106,635

Top five rap verses on a MC song (106,635) by Randy from USA Hey yall. I can't resist a list. 6. Jeezy on Side Effects 5. Jay Z on Heartbreaker 4. Brat on Loverboy 3. Gucci Mane on Obsessed (remix) 2. ODB on Fantasy 1. Mase on Honey (Wednesday 12 June 2024; 01:46)

Favorite MC remixes (106,634) by Stacey from USA Ahh yes, love me a list. I remember my oldest sister gave me an ABMB remix CD-5 for my birthday in 1996. It was the first time I heard the ABMB remix with Xscape and Da Brat. I had no idea Mariah remixed songs as much as she did. It was like discovering a whole new world. I definitely prefer her club versions to her slower R&B ones. Here's my list of favs in no particular order: 1. Dreamlover (Morales Club Mix Edit) 2. ATYNAF (C&C Radio Edit) 3. Joy To The World (Celebration Mix Edit) 4. Fantasy (Bad Boy Mix) & (Club Radio Edit) 5. ABMB (Mr. Dupri Mix) & (Def Classic Radio) 6. Honey (Classic Mix) 7. Butterfly (Meme Club Radio) 8. My All/Stay Awhile (No rap) 9. I Still Believe (Classic Club Mix Edit) 10. Shake It Off (Unofficial Morales Remix)* *Sounds legit but I can't find it on any official CD release. (Tuesday 11 June 2024; 23:30)

Portrait late at night (106,557) by Stacey from USA Great minds think alike. Those are my favs off Caution too. (Monday 27 May 2024; 19:36) this is a reply to message 106,543

Portrait late at night (106,543) by MusicfanJ from Germany Portrait and "Giving me life" are my favourites from "Caution". So I was super excited of the new remix. And wow, it is indeed genius. I love everything about it. That's the Mariah I was missing. It has the Butterfly remix vibe and something new. Mariah sounds carefree and is showing that she has still the "fire". The background chorus is wonderful too. It sounds like the good old days but also new and fresh. I just love it. (Sunday 26 May 2024; 17:48)

Adressed to Infinity haters (106,360) by Stacey from USA I'm glad people like Infinity. For me? It's a hard no. Ugh. (Tuesday 7 May 2024; 03:54) this is a reply to message 106,356

Adressed to Infinity haters (106,356) by Zachariah from Croatia The video. The video is dumb and cheap. Immediately ruins the song for me. (Monday 6 May 2024; 07:52)

Autocue (106,341) by Stacey from USA Welcome back, my friend. It's so funny. No she doesn't have Alzheimer's. Good grief. I was watching some videos teachers at my school made for incoming students. No script. Enough said, lol. If I were Mariah, I'd have a script too. (Friday 3 May 2024; 22:08) this is a reply to message 106,333

Autocue (106,333) by Edward from USA Suggesting that Mariah has Alzheimer's would be extremely insensitive. It could potentially be an onset of early dementia though. (Thursday 2 May 2024; 17:23)

More Taylor (106,315) by Stacey from USA Eddie and Chris, thank you for being the voice of reason. (Monday 29 April 2024; 07:30) this is a reply to message 106,311

More Taylor (106,311) by Edward from USA Your post just brought me back. The constant invocation of the race card feels tired and overused, at this point it's kind of slickening. Mariah Carey once held the same formidable position in the music industry that Taylor Swift now occupies. During her reign, Mariah stood tall at the pinnacle of success while other esteemed artists gradually receded from the spotlight. Such is the cycle of life in the music world. Mariah's dominance coincided with a generation that grew up immersed in her timeless melodies, perhaps unaware of the legendary artists who paved the way before her. While I may not personally resonate with Taylor's music, it's important to acknowledge the undeniable facts: her numbers speak volumes, much like Mariah's did in the '90s. Though I wouldn't personally invest in Taylor's work due to my own tastes, it's clear that millions around the globe find immense appeal in her music. This is undeniably her moment to shine. As fans, it's natural to root for our favorites and celebrate their successes. However, it's equally important to do so without disparaging other artists. Mariah herself has faced unwarranted criticism in the past, and as fans, we should understand the importance of uplifting our idols without tearing down others. Man you all have a great day. (Sunday 28 April 2024; 18:16)

Happy forever 12 Edward (106,115) by Stacey from USA Happiest of days to you. I hope you are well. (Friday 5 April 2024; 23:15) this is a reply to message 106,112

Happy forever 12 Edward (106,112) by Edward from USA Thank you, TJ. I appreciate it. (Friday 5 April 2024; 18:54)

The elephant in the room (106,114) by Stacey from USA MC's collabs with Diddy have stood the test of time. I don't think anyone can touch the Fantasy remix with ODB no matter what happens with Diddy. That song singlehandedly changed the music scene in the 1990s. Same goes for Honey, debuts at #1 just like Fantasy. Nothing can touch those songs. (Friday 5 April 2024; 23:14) this is a reply to message 106,107

The elephant in the room (106,107) by Tevin from USA Ok so everyone is innocent until proven guilty. I'm asking this question not for your opinion about if Diddy is guilty or innocent, but I'm curious if the allegations about illegal activity turns out to be true (particularly the traffic allegation), how do you think that would affect some of Mariah's music? I know some people won't even listen to BGK from Memoirs because of RK, but songs like Honey and the remix has Diddy all over it, and those are big popular songs in her discography. I ask this question out of curiosity, no answer is wrong or incorrect, everyone is entitled to their views and opinions. (Friday 5 April 2024; 04:53)

New photos (106,059) by Stacey from USA And her "girls" are covered up. I hate to say it but it's nice when she wears clothes that don't give away the farm. (Friday 29 March 2024; 03:39) this is a reply to message 106,058

New photos (106,058) by MusicfanJ from Germany The sparkling dress just wow. It reminded me of 99 too. I want that time maschine. Lol. On the blue ones she really looks like a mermaid. I love her smile. (Thursday 28 March 2024; 20:29)

Funny story, Mariah related (106,016) by Stacey from USA Last weekend I was visiting my mom and my sister. She came with her two kids (11, 10). Her kids were asking for something and she kept saying no. It made me think of Mariah's song A No No. I played the song and she commented, "Hey that's a great beat." I said you should play this song whenever your kids ask for something, lol. I made her a short ringtone. It got me to listening to more from Caution. While it's not my favorite, it definitely has those amazing arrangements, chords that just sound different yet so fresh. Giving Me Life, Portrait, and Caution are amazing songs. (Thursday 21 March 2024; 02:47)

Caution and Eternal Sunshine (105,967) by Stacey from USA I had the same problem, lol. Nice, new look. Thanks, Eric. (Wednesday 13 March 2024; 06:16) this is a reply to message 105,965

Caution and Eternal Sunshine (105,965) by Bobby A from United States So true Jaker. I have been saying this since Caution failed to yield a pop hit. I thought it could be Devonte Hynes, but he doesn't produce commercial pop and R&B hits. She needs songwriters and producers like Claude Kelly and Chuck Harmony (The Shindellas) and Madicin (Kenny Lattimore) to get her to Atlanta after the Vegas shows and create some great music for 6-8 weeks. (Wednesday 13 March 2024; 00:38)

Top of the Pops (pun intended) (105,862) by Stacey from USA All I Live For. Oh man that has 1990s written all over it. And I'm totally on board with that song. (Tuesday 5 March 2024; 02:19) this is a reply to message 105,860

Top of the Pops (pun intended) (105,860) by Matty from Vancouver Canada What are Mariah’s most Pop, ah La Lady Gaga and Britney, moments? Yes, And? remix, Almost Home, where else is MC pure pop? (Monday 4 March 2024; 23:35)

Daydream is now Mariah's biggest album (105,841) by Stacey from USA It's been a busy week. I was so excited to hear the news. Daydream is such a beautiful album. I can listen to every song. No fillers. (Saturday 2 March 2024; 03:38) this is a reply to message 105,832

Daydream is now Mariah's biggest album (105,832) by MusicfanJ from Germany It's so deserved. I love everything about Daydream. I became a fan because of Daydream. When I heard "Fantasy" on the radio back then I was enchanted. I bought the album and I still remember the day. I was so happy, I still have the original cassette. "Always be my baby", "One Sweet Day", "Open Arms", "Forever", " Melt away", "Long Ago", "Underneath the stars", "Daydream Interlude" and the incredible "Looking in". Isn't it unbelievable? For me it is and always will be the ultimate Mariah album. It is the perfect mix of Pop and RnB. That album caused Mariah mania. Daydream is deep in my heart. (Friday 1 March 2024; 20:34)

I hope Mariah never releases anything anymore (105,739) by Stacey from USA Same. There's a reason why LA Reid is a successful record exec. ILT, SIO, and WBT are hawt. Radio hadn't been kind to MC for years since Rainbow. But when TOEM was released, radio had to play it (aka WBT.) That song is so good, radio was forced to play it. MC can strike gold again. Just put out good music and promote it. (Sunday 25 February 2024; 04:15) this is a reply to message 105,734

I hope Mariah never releases anything anymore (105,734) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Everyday I thank LA Reid for telling Mariah to go back and record with JD hahah after she had initially completed TEOM without ILT, WBT, SIO and GYN. WBT is the most perfect song, masterpiece that should be studied but would have been a mess if it was just whispers. (Saturday 24 February 2024; 23:55)

I hope Mariah never releases anything anymore (105,733) by Stacey from USA Rumor has it MC wanted to sing WBT with whisper vocals and JD insisted on full voice vocals. Can you imagine that song as a whisper track? Perish the thought. Yikes. MC is a masterpiece. But like all of us isn't perfect. Even the greatest basketball player, Michael Jordan, said all the shots he missed made him better. I mean, the guy was cut from his high school basketball team. I'll always advocate MC keep realists on her team, people not afraid to say no to Mariah. Shoot, Celine didn't want to sing My Heart Will Go On and ultimately gave in and did it. Good decision, don't ya think? (Saturday 24 February 2024; 23:23) this is a reply to message 105,726

I hope Mariah never releases anything anymore (105,726) by Jamie from UK Problem with you is you want everyone to agree with what you think, but unfortunately they didn't, you lost this argument. Even the webmaster jumped in to say it. I've seen that clip before, nobody ever wants to hear criticism but if you can accept it and learn from it then all the better. I'm not hating on her and being negative like some none fans are on twitter. I just think a bit of constructive criticism would be good at times with Mariah as I only want the best for her as do a lot of people on this forum hence why we're so passionate. If you think that your gonna come here and not hear fans give constructive criticism at times with something they choose not to like then your gonna be constantly disappointed. As a fan you're allowed to not like certain songs, it doesn't make you any less of a fan. (Saturday 24 February 2024; 21:50)

General public or bad decisions (105,731) by Stacey from USA I've visited Vancouver. It's been a hot minute though, 1990, lol. It was beautiful. We visited Vancouver Island, stayed in a town called Nanaimo. Traveled over to the Canadian Rockies, visited Lake Louise, down to Calgary, and into Montana to see Glacier National Park. My dad loved to travel. Beautiful country. (Saturday 24 February 2024; 23:12) this is a reply to message 105,723

General public or bad decisions (105,723) by Matty from Vancouver Canada I love the west coast. Vancouver's nickname is Raincover because it rains a lot, but I live side the beautiful beaches and ocean, the mountains are only 20 mins away, palm trees the whole bit. It's gorgeous. I love Guelph though, it's a beautiful city, super old downtown lots to do, and so close to Toronto so tons of Broadway shows, sporting events and concerts just 45 mins away. My brother still lives in Guelph and loves it. Thanks for asking. Where about in the USA do you live T? (Saturday 24 February 2024; 18:25)

Jazz (105,721) by Stacey from USA I hope so. Songs like Lullaby of Birdland and Nevertheless fit her current voice so well. (Saturday 24 February 2024; 17:55) this is a reply to message 105,703

Jazz (105,703) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Stacey your dream is probably coming true, one of the insider accounts posted that MC will include a jazz style song on MC16, it can be a sample or a cover. Take it with a grain of salt though since these accounts are right 50-50. They said Ariana and MC have a music video and big promo plans including live performance but we didn't get it. But I think it's a safe bet that she will have something jazz inspired otherwise she would randomly jazz it up on stage. (Saturday 24 February 2024; 04:55)

I hope Mariah never releases anything anymore (105,720) by Stacey from USA Brilliant response. (Saturday 24 February 2024; 17:52) this is a reply to message 105,705

I hope Mariah never releases anything anymore (105,705) by TJ from Norway I do not agree with you, but then again, it's only opinions. You sit on yours, and I have mine. I have been a fan since 1990, but I don't love every project she has done, but am still here. I call that a real fan, even if you disagree. (Saturday 24 February 2024; 12:09)

I hope Mariah never releases anything anymore (105,702) by Stacey from USA Like I said in an earlier post, I could care less what another person thinks about me. Their opinions do not define what kind of fan I am. I decide that. My 30 years of loyalty decide that. (Saturday 24 February 2024; 00:49) this is a reply to message 105,683

I hope Mariah never releases anything anymore (105,683) by TJ from Norway So a fan who is still there after let's say 30 years plus, but doesn't like everything she does, isn't a real fan? Did I read your message wrong? I have to ask. (Friday 23 February 2024; 14:56)

This is what we asked for (105,656) by Stacey from USA Because she's always chosen charts and hits above anything else? Clearly you've conveniently forgotten I Don't, Crapfinity, Save the Day, etc. Oh wait, those don't count. They were buzz singles. Sorry, my bad. (Thursday 22 February 2024; 05:50) this is a reply to message 105,647

This is what we asked for (105,647) by T from USA Sometimes it's not about what you want. Mariah isn't a puppet that you can control the strings to. If you don't understand what a Top 10 hit on Billboard would mean for Mariah then you really don't know Mariah. Because she's always chosen hits and charts above anything else. I believe deep down inside she's a real musician, a soul artist, but she's very much driven by success. It's the American way. If you want more Mariah you have to give her incentive. Stream and buy. (Wednesday 21 February 2024; 17:45)

SNL (105,655) by Stacey from USA Mad here? That depends. It depends on if the collaboration steers toward the WAP Cardi B with MC running around in a bathing suit once again. No thanks. That's so beneath Mariah's legend status. Now I'd it's a fun bop aka Fantasy, Heartbreaker, Crybaby, etc then yeah, I'm all for it. (Thursday 22 February 2024; 02:02) this is a reply to message 105,633

SNL (105,633) by Shezz from Pk I'm a little worried about how she'll sound (if it is true). It's a lot of strained belting. Let's see how much is going to be live and how much lipped. I hope she puts in the effort to do it justice. Insiders are saying the Cardi collaboration will be her next step - which is bound to get more people mad here. (Wednesday 21 February 2024; 10:37)
