About Terna from Nigeria: Fan since 1998 - The "Butterfly" Era. Fave Era - The Emancipation of Mimi, watching her break that Night was Everything.

View from here (104,178) by Terna from Nigeria Your ears have aged a tad bit now haven't they? The clip I posted, I clearly acknowledged Mariah is having some form of vocal issues, that covers the fact I know she prerecorded some parts. I just didn't want to dwell on that, unlike your toxic self that thrives in such as we can see from this post. What I was pointing out were the non Christmas songs medley she pulled out and sang live and still killed it voice problems and all. Try and be a better person. Smh. Like every other obstacle Mariah's faced and overcame which we have been witness to, this voice issue too will be a thing of the past very soon and she will blow once more like we know she can.

View from here (104,170) by Andrew from the UK It isn't the lip-syncing that bothers me about the Billboard performance or the Christmas shows. You would have to be delusional with a capital Terna not to have expected there to be lipsync. And, having a PhD in Mariah Carey Lip-Sync, I was quite impressed as I had to replay certain parts to really understand if they were lip-sync or not. (They were.) But the songs sound okay from what I have watched and if people are having a ball in the auditoria then good for them. What's truly puzzling at best (and truly worrisome at worst) is Mariah's rigidity. She rarely moves. More's the point: she rarely moves to an almost inhuman degree. It was even so on the Jennifer Hudson show. I neither see nor know of *any* artist who is so frozen in expression and in movement. I don't even know of any *person* in real life who behaves so. Does anyone? It's really weird, you guys. Something is not right, here. In fact, I would go so far as to say: something is very wrong here. One of the things I loved that Mariah lost was her command of the stage and ability to entertain. She would run up and down the bloody thing, punch the invisible ghosts, slap them in the face many times when going for big notes, activate the garage doors by pressing the secret button in her ear, spin around, laugh, dance, point to people and tell them she sees them up there in the cheap seats, get excited when she can read some of the signs (do people still do signs?) and so on. Where did this go? And why? I don't think anyone is asking for 90s vocals. But I think they're sure as shit asking for 90s performances. And quite rightly so. They were bloody good fun.

Bryan Tanaka (104,112) by Terna from Nigeria Go for the concert. (Saturday 18 November 2023; 19:48) this is a reply to message 104,105

Bryan Tanaka (104,105) by Jamie from UK I don't think I'm gonna go the NYC concert after watching clips. Gonna step this one out and see what next year brings. (Saturday 18 November 2023; 11:08)

Clips (104,111) by Terna from Nigeria Yeah she's a little bit low energy, but she pulled out songs she hasn't sung in almost 10 years and killed it and she's singing live. Mariah is going through real vocal issues and I wish the fans would be a little bit more understanding. She obviously has taken our advice and seen some form of voice therapist and or coach because she sounds much better than she did this time last year and even all the way back to the pandemic year. I hope she gets even better. (Saturday 18 November 2023; 19:48)

What happened to Brandy's voice? (104,063) by Terna from Nigeria We always like to ask that in Mariah's case, but what about Brandy? What happened to that agile, pristine, silvery color-filled voice she used to have? Especially on "Never Say Never". Honestly in terms of vocal tone, she was up there with Whitney and Mariah, so pleasant to the ears. Her version of "Everything I do (I do it for you)" floored me, literally chills every time I play that song. Now she's (for a lack of words to describe it) monochrome and bland. Her new Christmas album is a total snooze fest. Ugh. (Wednesday 15 November 2023; 14:17)

Whatsapp group (104,050) by Terna from Nigeria Yeah right. Eric dear consider it. [Webmaster: I don't use Whatsapp, but you're free to make one yourself.] (Tuesday 14 November 2023; 09:35) this is a reply to message 104,033

Whatsapp group (104,033) by Mara from United States Terna that's a great idea and I would love to be a part of something like that in real time. (Monday 13 November 2023; 07:07)

Whatsapp group (104,029) by Terna from Nigeria We should have a dysfunctional Whatsapp group by now shouldn't we? Where we can communicate in real time and also be able to drag Andrew and Randy at random just because. Especially Andrew, during the Christmas seasons a tradition Special K started a while back for that wig comment he made. (Sunday 12 November 2023; 18:28)

Birthday wishes from Mimi to Andrew (104,028) by Terna from Nigeria You need a hiatus too. (Sunday 12 November 2023; 18:16) this is a reply to message 104,025

Birthday wishes from Mimi to Andrew (104,025) by Andrew from the UK He calls himself a lamb Yet gets on those boards Trash talks who I am My scuffed up vocal cords He goes low with my weight My lighting gets his scorn Today I must say mate I curse that you were born An original poem by Randy. He's on hiatus from the board but it's so funny he said I could post it. (Sunday 12 November 2023; 17:29)

Saint Harison (104,026) by Terna from Nigeria The Grammies. She already played to that tune multiple times over the span of the 90's and they paid her dust every single time, even when it was obvious that her's was the superior work. Mariah is not worried about that scam of a show trust me. They on the other hand through might be bothered seeing as I read somewhere on social media (IG) she's been nominated for the Hunter remix of "Working hard". (Sunday 12 November 2023; 18:13) this is a reply to message 104,024

Saint Harison (104,024) by Robert-Anthony from United States Okay, I understand. Love Takes Time is MC at her best. If we could just get back to that type of ballad, just maybe the Grammys will recognize MC with several nominations and awards in the near future. I really feel that she has gotten the memo. Plus, she is older now and she can't have rappers featured on her songs as much. (Sunday 12 November 2023; 14:35)

It's time (103,931) by Terna from Nigeria You gotta be kidding. Already and to think there was doubt that she's not the queen of Christmas. (Wednesday 1 November 2023; 14:14) this is a reply to message 103,930

It's time (103,930) by Robert-Anthony from United States AIWFCIY has debuted at number #70 on the Hot 100. How long will it take this year to make it to #1? I predict it will be #1 two weeks after Thanksgiving. It hit #1 on December 17th last year through December 31st and January 1st-8th for 5 weeks in 2022. (Wednesday 1 November 2023; 12:01)

Merry Christmas to you too (103,882) by Terna from Nigeria No, just no she's over doing the Christmas thingy and it could easily backfire and have everyone tune out mentally on her Christmas offerings, including AIWFCIY. I sure hope she isn't cooking up another Christmas album. That would be overkill. The only thing Christmas themed I would want to hear from her is an official recording of "Away in a Manger" with Roe Roe and her own version of "Where are you Christmas". Mariah dear, absolutely no new Christmas albums for you. (Thursday 26 October 2023; 03:05) this is a reply to message 103,875

Merry Christmas to you too (103,875) by Edward from USA I'm definitely down for a third Christmas album, but it should only contain new music. I don't want any new rework from past albums. I have the feeling the "theme album" she was talking about is a Christmas album, and it might be coming out soon. (Wednesday 25 October 2023; 21:58)

On the subjects of tours (103,881) by Terna from Nigeria "It's not Sam Smith's responsibility to protect children, that's what their parents are for." Libra Lamb, I usually agree with your points of view except this one. That argument is very dated especially in the smartphone/social media age we live in today, with the entertainment industry practically inescapable. Audio and video streaming are at kids' fingertips with just a simple click most notably YouTube. Sam Smith went from being a respectable singer who came across as super talented, to straight up gender confused clown show, kinda like what happened with Miley Cyrus and the world immediately tuned off and out on those two. To think there was much a do about Mariah dressing sexy in the late 90's, when compared to the stunts pulled by today's acts she would be Mary Poppins. The difference is Mariah did hers with class and never crossed the line, Sam Smith and Miley did in a very repulsive way. (Thursday 26 October 2023; 02:58) this is a reply to message 103,877

On the subjects of tours (103,877) by Libra Lamb from USA As a grown ass person, you should know that it's not Sam Smith's responsibility to protect children, that's what their parents are for. The parents are 100% responsible for raising their children and protecting them from such things. As an artist, and an adult, he can do whatever he wants on and off that stage. Nice try, but no. I do agree that children should be protected until they are old enough to understand and make up their own minds, but again, that's the parent's responsibility. (Wednesday 25 October 2023; 22:42)

Gift (103,762) by Terna from Nigeria It must be tiring being you, having to keep jumping in and out of peoples' replies, to keep spilling negativity. You're ripe for another ban. (Sunday 15 October 2023; 19:41) this is a reply to message 103,730

Gift (103,730) by Andrew from the UK I had one of those moments, reading your message, when I said "What a gift to scientific research." (Thursday 12 October 2023; 23:36)

Gift (103,727) by Terna from Nigeria I had one of those moments listening to Mariah sing and I couldn't help but go "What a gift." (Thursday 12 October 2023; 18:55)

Drake gets his 12th number one (103,623) by Terna from Nigeria "...prolly too old to keep up huh." - I guess you're not on a spellchecker. Exactly my point, now stay outta my replies. (Sunday 1 October 2023; 03:21) this is a reply to message 103,605

Drake gets his 12th number one (103,605) by Andrew from the UK "I [guess] you're not on social media..." - What do you think *this* is? "...prolly too old to keep up huh." - I guess you're not on a spellchecker. "Well let me help you out with a short list:" - This is my point: the list is somewhat non-existent. Let's have a look: "1. "Fantasy" had a moment with Latto" - Two years ago. "2. "Its a Wrap" for months, so much she re–released it" - What number in the Billboard Charts did it reach? 3. "Touch My Body" is currently having its moment for the second time (if I'm correct)" - Do TikTok videos qualify as a 'resurgence'? I don't see Mariah booking a stadia tour on the back of them? "4. And there's "All I Want for Christmas" - You consider this a "resurgence" - it's an annual event. Behave. "All these are [streaming/social] media resurgences where the whole world lives and thrives off of these days." - That's about as spurious and as vague a comment as I have read on here. "Hope [you're] clear now." - No, but it was fun. I enjoyed ya. (Friday 29 September 2023; 17:00)

Drake gets his 12th number one (103,599) by Andrew from the UK "She keeps resurging with old songs" - pray, how do you find 'resurging' and with what "old songs" is this happening? Actual information on each one, when and by what means would be helpful for people to look up. (Friday 29 September 2023; 01:19)

Random post - SZA (103,598) by Terna from Nigeria I must say I'm impressed with her songwriting so far out of all the new girls, she does stand out and has an uncanny ability for storytelling, that extra something that sets her apart from the rest. Her second album is surprisingly stronger than the first and that's saying a lot because that album was a smash. "Good Days" was my most played song according to Spotify last year (2022), and I know it's still gonna be at least top 5 this year - it's that good. (Friday 29 September 2023; 00:44)

Drake gets his 12th number one (103,597) by Terna from Nigeria And her entire catalog is being celebrated and rediscovered by the yougins - the reason why she keeps resurging with old songs that charted years prior. Her body of work speaks volumes. Honestly, Mariah easily has the best discography in the industry. (Friday 29 September 2023; 00:33) this is a reply to message 103,592

Drake gets his 12th number one (103,592) by Randy from USA The belief that AIWFCIY will be MCs greatest accomplishment scares me more than if Psy Gangnum Style had a resurgence with 21 number ones, beating the Beatles number ones record. You all have got to stop that narrative. You have no many idea how many memes are coming across my social media timeline that basically say Mariah is defrosting. An old diva past her time a la Diana Ross, I can accept. An iconic Mrs. Claus, I can't. Mariah is so much more and her entire (caps) catalogue should be celebrated. And I love you Robert.

I Don't Wanna Cry (103,596) by Terna from Nigeria (Friday 29 September 2023; 00:26) this is a reply to message 103,583

I Don't Wanna Cry (103,583) by Stacey from USA You forgot to include the #DemKittens edition too, lol. (Wednesday 27 September 2023; 08:22)

I Don't Wanna Cry (103,580) by Terna from Nigeria A "Daydream" release on all the platforms with two songs only. "Always be My Baby" (Dem babies edition) and Fantasy Dem Kids version. Haha. (Tuesday 26 September 2023; 22:21) this is a reply to message 103,570

I Don't Wanna Cry (103,570) by Stacey from USA I get a little giddy thinking about what MC may pull out of the vault for my beloved Daydream's 30th anniversary. (Tuesday 26 September 2023; 00:40)

AYNAF Soul convention version (103,370) by Terna from Nigeria The attack on the 2nd verse, she went full force on the power after all, its a Soul version lol. I heard this version a while back and totally forgot about it. I swear, Mariah's voice is a whole weapon. And this was her instrument at its absolute best. Nobody touches Mariah when it comes to vocals, her creative process vocally and this album proves this. Thank you Mariah for this gift. (Friday 8 September 2023; 10:13)

It's here (103,369) by Terna from Nigeria Yes it is the cover of the same song, but much better and boy she sounds phenomenal. The record release was available here as soon as Midnight struck too. Music Box the era, honestly feels much more complete now, as I always thought the album was a tab bit short. (Friday 8 September 2023; 09:20) this is a reply to message 103,358

It's here (103,358) by Edward from USA Is My Prayers a cover as we speculated? (Friday 8 September 2023; 01:19)

Music Box 30th anniversary revealed (103,316) by Terna from Nigeria She's going to pay that album absolute dust. Sorry Stacey, but in Mariah's bubble, "Daydream" only comprises of 1 song - "Always be My Fantasy with O.D.B.". (Wednesday 6 September 2023; 20:40) this is a reply to message 103,307

Music Box 30th anniversary revealed (103,307) by Robert-Anthony from United States I am wondering the same too. She didn't do a 30th anniversary for Mariah Carey or Emotions. Music Box must be really dear to MC. Daydream's 30th anniversary will probably be huge with the release of her version of Somebody's Ugly Daughter. (Tuesday 5 September 2023; 00:00)

Music Box 30th anniversary revealed (103,271) by Terna from Nigeria This was a pleasant surprise earlier on today, can't wait for the 8th of September. You guys noticed that out of all the artists, Mariah has one of the most complete representation of her work on YouTube, with the Vevo videos and also even audio, and I'm glad she keeps upgrading the video qualities like this 4K "Dreamlover" video coming soon, so cool actually. Happy 30th Anniversary to "Music Box" one of my all time favorite albums ever. (Friday 1 September 2023; 00:17) this is a reply to message 103,266

Music Box 30th anniversary revealed (103,266) by Robert-Anthony from United States It will be out on 9/8. Here's what will be included on the 4LP 3CD cassette anniversary edition: Expanded edition with bonus tracks 1. My Prayer - new track from the recording sessions 2. Hero - 2009 Version 3. AYNAF - Extended Version 4. Music Box - Acapella... Oooh wee. I need to hear this version. 5. Dream Lover - Live at the Top of Pops *Live at Proctor's Theatre 1. new remastered audio *Behind the Scenes of Dream Lover video - Mini Documentary *Dream Lover video 4k *MC Then and Now featurette *And many more bonus features (Thursday 31 August 2023; 16:45)

Where is she? (103,265) by Terna from Nigeria Well she may have had vocal surgery, which explains the sudden silence. I think it takes a whole month to recover being in total silence (making reference to Adele's case) and her kids are old enough to know how serious the situation is to support her. I do hope it would be successful. Everyone speaks of "95 Mariah" vocally but that's where her voice issues stem from, especially after the world tour. (Thursday 31 August 2023; 08:10) this is a reply to message 103,263

Where is she? (103,263) by Robert-Anthony from United States My heart feels for my girl MC. It must be an awful feeling for someone who has lost his or her gift and not be able do what he or she loves doing? 1995 Mariah would have been in the studio until 6am this morning finishing her album to be released in October. I hope that she can get her gift back. (Wednesday 30 August 2023; 22:00)

(103,262) by Terna from Nigeria At this point it might as well begin in September. The comments on this though. (Wednesday 30 August 2023; 18:54)
