About Norman from USA: I've been a fan of Mariah's since I first heard Love Takes Time (I don't know how I initially missed Vision of Love), and I haven't looked back since. Her music has been there for me in my darkest hours to help lift out of the depths of whatever I was going through at the time. She's my all time favorite female singer, even though I love many others. It's funny to think of her music as a "friend", but it's always been there for me. I love her talent. " As we drifted to another place and time And the feeling was so heady and sublime As I lost my heart to you There in the dark Underneath the stars"

The magic starts tonight (101,767) by Norman from USA Enjoy. I can't wait for the report. (Saturday 10 December 2022; 02:21) this is a reply to message 101,766

The magic starts tonight (101,766) by Matty from Vancouver Canada Tonight's the [night] Lambs. We're at the Fairmount Royal York, and our room over looks the Scotiabank Arena. Downtown Toronto is lit and excited for Mariah. (Friday 9 December 2022; 20:11)

Colbert (101,761) by Norman from USA I'm sorry for your loss. That's such a young age, too. I'm in LA and it's surging here, again. I have several friends who recently caught it even though they're all fully vaccinated. They've been lucky enough to have only have it be mild cases, but hospitalization is on the rise again. Stay safe out there lambs. (Friday 9 December 2022; 03:35) this is a reply to message 101,760

Colbert (101,760) by Edward from USA Because vaccinated or not Covid-19 is still a thing. Cases are rising and it is not a good time to bargain with one's health. My friend was healthy, vaccinated, double boosted and died at just 32 from it. (Friday 9 December 2022; 01:53)

Re: The 8 "new" tracks (101,212) (101,219) by Norman from USA I'm happy about the anniversary of such a monumental album, and I'm looking forward to the documentary - and that's it. We love everybody. (Friday 16 September 2022; 07:37)

Re: I wish for Butterfly: unplugged for Butterfly 25 (101,178) (101,179) by Norman from USA I agree. I keep thinking that maybe she's not inspired enough these days, you know? And it's not about her having to constantly churn out music, but more as in trying to evolve more in her craft. Caution didn't blow anyone away with the vocals, and it wasn't meant to, but I think she gave us some rich textures and musicality on tracks like 8th Grade and GML. (Sunday 11 September 2022; 04:39)

Re: New music (101,106) (101,108) by Norman from USA That's always been my take on her actually having something new out - she'd get in shape. It's been her tell. I'm not here to judge her on her figure, I'm just stating an observation. I don't think she's releasing anything anytime soon. She could be changing her formula, but I'm skeptical. So long as she's happy, it's all good. I simply don't want to hear about projects that won't come to fruition. (Wednesday 31 August 2022; 03:28)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey wants to trademark "Queen of Christmas" (100,995) (100,997) by Norman from USA I read that it's only for merchandise and not for any other reason. So Ms. Love could still call herself that, just not on official merch. It's a distinction, but it could have been avoided all together. (Friday 19 August 2022; 05:13)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey wants to trademark "Queen of Christmas" (100,988) (100,989) by Norman from USA I honestly don't understand the need for this either. Whenever someone calls her that during an interview, she refuses to take the title. Now someone in her team sold her on the trademark idea? It's not something she needs or that helps her brand in any way. I couldn't care less about this endeavor. Her should focus on nailing down her brand and working to elevate it. Mariah needs some new blood on her team - people with vision and purpose. All that said, I don't know who this Chan lady is. I googled her and still couldn't make sense out of it. This is probably the most notoriety she's ever had/is likely to ever get. And Ms. Love - well, bless her. She has a right to make her coins off of whatever she can. Citing David Letterman as reference doesn't help her in any way, however. It's all subjective. Nobody puts Christmas on the map like Mariah. Nobody. For better or worse. Whether it's trademaked or not, it's just the truth. (Thursday 18 August 2022; 07:36)

Re: Bryson Tiller x Mariah (100,964) (100,967) by Norman from USA I believe it's a Christmas song. He was asked about his Christmas album and whether or not he'd thought of a collab with the queen of Christmas MC. I hope I misunderstood. (Saturday 13 August 2022; 18:57)

Re: Bey snubs Mariah (100,916) (100,918) by Norman from USA I know it's a remix with Madonna's song and all, but if you think anyone is going to tell Beyonce who she can or cannot name-drop... (Saturday 6 August 2022; 21:24)

Re: Bey snubs Mariah (100,909) (100,911) by Norman from USA I honestly don't think Mariah would say no to a duet with Bey, but who knows. I just find it odd. (Saturday 6 August 2022; 03:06)

Re: Bey snubs Mariah (100,908) (100,910) by Norman from USA Lol I take it you don't like it? (Saturday 6 August 2022; 03:05)

Bey snubs Mariah (100,907) by Norman from USA Beyonce released a remix of Break My Soul (Queen Remix) with Madonna. It mixes BMS with Madonna's Vogue. If you're familiar with Vogue, you know there's a part where Madonna name checks Hollywood icons like Marilyn Monroe, Dietrich and DiMaggio. Well, in this remix Beyonce starts the name check with "Queen Mother Madonna, Aaliyah." And then proceeds to name-check various other female entertainers (checks Grace Jones twice) but omits Mariah. Doja Cat gets in the mix, but no Mimi. I thought it was interesting. (Saturday 6 August 2022; 00:46)

Re: Libra (100,768) (100,784) by Norman from USA I'm not so sure about that Joachim. I'm a Capricorn and am currently dating a Scorpio, and have done so before. Maybe check out a fellow Cappy? (Thursday 21 July 2022; 05:14)

Re: Narada Michael Walden (100,752) (100,783) by Norman from USA Yeah, not sure why she disliked it so much. (Thursday 21 July 2022; 05:12)

Re: Narada Michael Walden (100,756) (100,782) by Norman from USA Yeah, I wondered about that too, Bill. He worked on VOL with her as a producer, and I'm guessing that's why she always says it ended up being over-produced (she prefers the demo version). He mentioned something about her possibly releasing one of their songs from the vault, though. Possibly in The Rarities 2? (Thursday 21 July 2022; 05:11)

Re: Walter (100,779) (100,781) by Norman from USA When I read the original post, I knew there would be a rebuttal from Eric in 3... 2... (Thursday 21 July 2022; 05:05)

Narada Michael Walden (100,745) by Norman from USA Here's an interview he did recently where he talks about first working with Mariah on her debut album, specifically about writing IDWC with her. It's a long interview and very interesting, but only the first part is really about Mariah. There's also a first part to this interview where he talks about working with Whitney on I Wanna Dance with Somebody if you're interested. He's quite the characters. (Saturday 16 July 2022; 15:50)

Re: Vocabulary (100,725) (100,734) by Norman from USA Ignore works both ways, Stacey. (Friday 15 July 2022; 16:57)

Re: Vocabulary (100,723) (100,727) by Norman from USA Preach it Lady B. (Friday 15 July 2022; 06:24)

Re: LM Tea (98,804) (98,805) by Norman from USA Ew. Lol no (Saturday 30 October 2021; 16:38)

LM Tea (98,803) by Norman from USA The Luis Miguel series is spilling some tea. The story of when and how they met doesn't fit Mariah's. In fact, it hints that it predates Derek and even the Motorola [sic] divorce. It also claims that Mariah had an "ex" on the set of Glitter. Oh, and the infamous duet was bust because LM accused Mimi of autotuning his vocals in the production. (Saturday 30 October 2021; 08:56)

Luis Miguel Netflix (98,654) by Norman from USA British singer Jade Ewen will portray Mimi in the 3rd season of the show. It'll be interesting to see how she's portrayed. (Friday 24 September 2021; 11:38)

Re: Twitter Spaces audio link (98,443) (98,453) by Norman from USA My crazy mind came up The Jonas Brothers when I first heard about this. I know how absurd that sounds, but it's what popped into my head. Maroon 5 would be cool but I doubt she would collaborate with them. She should, though. Maroon 5 is very consistent on the charts. She didn't really seem to connect with the guys during her appearance on The Voice. She wouldn't stop going on about Kelly or Jennifer, however. (Tuesday 27 July 2021; 22:50)

Re: What other music are people into right now? (97,338) (97,339) by Norman from USA I have Jazmine Sullivan's Heaux Tales and Dua Lipa's Future Nostalgia (yes, still) on heavy rotation. Other than that, I am mostly listening to a bunch of different artist singles. Notable mentions: Zoe Wees Ashnikko DaBaby Maluma Doja Natalia Lafourcade Chole x Halle (Thursday 11 February 2021; 12:54)

Re: MC16 (97,100) (97,115) by Norman from USA Jasmine Sullivan (her new album is pure fiyah) J Balvin Bad Bunny Bieber Ari (legit og single) Dev Hynes NoID Kendrick Lamar H.E.R. Doja Missy & Da Brat for the nostalgia Drake Honestly, I'd love it if she was featured in a ton of singles so she could saturate the market instead of trying to go for #20. I'd like her to take a page out of most rappers playbooks - be everywhere. Chill on the sniper angle and go shotgun on the charts. (Sunday 10 January 2021; 07:44)
