About Edward from USA:

Re: Kid's Choice Awards (81,512) (81,514) by Edward from USA The fact that Nick and Roc were in "5-day Vomit" costumes doesn't give you the right to say they looked ridiculous, they just looked horrible, lol. I love the fact they're doing the best to be there for their kids, and they're letting them be kids. I must say that Mariah is looking radiant and Roe is following in her mother footsteps, but I hope she actually learn how to walk in high heels when the time comes, lol.

Re: The Mariah Outlet (81,478) (81,479) by Edward from USA Jade, I took it as you had originally intended it. Had I not, I would've blamed it on Andrew. (Thursday 22 March 2018; 22:24)

Re: The Mariah Outlet (81,471) (81,473) by Edward from USA There's a way you can have a dedicated Mariah's room without your husband having a clue. Just hang a big poster of Charmbracelet at the door. He would say: "Oh, you're a fan of Licia's now?" Problem solved. (Thursday 22 March 2018; 16:34)

Re: Mariah's weight loss and her voice (81,461) (81,462) by Edward from USA I don't think it would bring her voice back, but it could definitely support her breathing. Being overweight and on top of that having these humongous implants pressing against her chest probably have an impact on her breathing and her ability to sustain certain notes. Working with a vocal coach consistently minus "splashing" or "blazing" would also help. The fact is that when Mariah was pregnant with gestational diabetes she sounded better than ever, but she wasn't blazing underneath the stars or splashing herself to bed back then. Let's see what she comes up with this time. (Thursday 22 March 2018; 00:31)

Re: Videos (81,405) (81,407) by Edward from USA Nick is immature. Mariah is... well, among donkeys and rabbits, big ears shouldn't be cause for arguments and jealousy. (Friday 16 March 2018; 16:45)

Re: Videos (81,379) (81,390) by Edward from USA It takes two to tango, yet it seems to be that Nick was dancing the tango by himself, Mariah was just a damsel in distress who at that time only had slept with the equivalent 2.5 fingers worth of men, not even the equivalent of a complete Mary Poppins, "Hair Mariah full of Grace". She was done wrong by this black, thirsty, womanizer, big mouth, player man. We must say that when a black man doesn't have a job, he's a bad black man. When a black man has multiple jobs, he's also a bad black man. When he's a good parent regardless whether he's married to his baby mamas, he's also a bad black man. Some people are so full of shit/crap they should have three toilets in their house. Make a man feel emasculated and let's see how many minutes your marriage is going to last. They were destined to fail. Nick overworked his ass off trying to prove people wrong, yet it was never enough. And he cracked like any man would have. Nick is a good parent and that makes people crazy, it makes them angry that he's not just what they expected him to be. He's present in his kids lives and that's what matters, minus the pressure of being labeled all sorts of stuff just for being Mr. Carey. I'm happy for him and for his kids. Not even Shrek could deal with Mariah and her entourage, but I guess he was just another bad man. JD was responsible for demise of MIAM and Migrate should've been a single.

Re: #marchforwhat? (81,275) (81,291) by Edward from USA ... and you, and you, and you you you you in a whispery voice. Oh, and a few eh, eh, an another eh. I see you up there, Andrew. (Thursday 8 March 2018; 00:03)

Hero rendition (81,249) by Edward from USA In my opinion, this rendition of Hero proves that Mariah can use what's left of her voice and still make great music. But she should focus on her artistry rather than trends and looks. (Saturday 3 March 2018; 23:16)

Re: Rumor check (81,236) (81,243) by Edward from USA If being paid means blocking an artist from releasing mediocre music, I think that's good. While we can sit here and lose a dollar for a mediocre song, the label would be losing at the end for studio time, promotion and such. With popularity you can risk being mediocre, like Taylor Swift and some others, because at the end, they'll sell. In Mariah's case, the label won't invest in something that won't bring in the coins, it's business. What's left for Mariah? Well, she probably should forget she's eternally 12, give Dolly Parton her boobs back, and focus on crafting great songs showing some growth and great lyrics. I'm talking about that music we all know she's capable of crafting. Some of us seem to have forgotten that Mariah would produce quality even in ringtones or TV commercials. She definitely doesn't owe us anything, but we don't owe her anything either. With that being said, she should sell a product worthy of the money she sells it for, it's only fair.

Re: Mariah singing at Floyd Mayweather's birthday bash (81,212) (81,214) by Edward from USA Mariah avoids singing unless she can control the environment. It. Is. A. Fact. Give Patti a microphone at 73, and she would turn you into Jesus even if you're Donald Trump. So, when somebody brings this point, I don't think it's about negativity. Every singer have their good and bad days, but Mariah seems to be in a perpetual bad-day mode when it comes to a simple request. When you're one of the greatest voices of all times and you're requested to sing a 3-second line but you're not sure, just decline, period. But if you're going to give it try, stop with the smoke and mirrors. I don't know why talking about these things kind of automatically turns you into a goat or something. There's a difference between disagreeing expressing why you disagree as opposed to implying that those who dare to talk about this topic are not good fans. (Thursday 1 March 2018; 21:08)

Re: Mariah singing at Floyd Mayweather's birthday bash (81,208) (81,209) by Edward from USA Her voice being unpredictable meaning she doesn't know whether a cock-a-doodle-doo or a beautiful note would come out. As for having everything "tightly controlled", that includes the right environment, with the possibility of some lipping to some prerecorded track, the usual smoke and mirrors. More than gone, I think her voice is kind of shot. At every turn she's presented with the opportunity to shine with just a little bit of singing, she refuses. Very different to this Mariah. (Wednesday 28 February 2018; 22:33)

Re: Mariah singing at Floyd Mayweather's birthday bash (81,199) (81,200) by Edward from USA I guess than since her voice got so unpredictable, she wouldn't even try. I saw her deflecting by pretending to be talking to him. For a moment I thought she was the one singing, but she only uttered a faint yeah or something. It's so sad to see she doesn't have any confidence in her unless everything is controlled one way or the other. Of course the confidence she used to have came from the fact that she had full control over her voice back then. I can understand why she wouldn't sing a whole song, but a single line just for fun, how bad or hard could it be for one of the best voices of all time? (Wednesday 28 February 2018; 04:12)

Mean Gurlz is out (81,176) by Edward from USA I love this version of Mean Girls. I can't wait for the release date. (Monday 26 February 2018; 23:32)

Re: The A, B, 90s albums and The Disappearance of Mimi (81,173) (81,175) by Edward from USA You can't twerk with us. (Monday 26 February 2018; 23:07)

Re: Django Jane (81,153) (81,157) by Edward from USA The time is just right for a great cohesive quality album by Mariah. It's like good music is dead. (Monday 26 February 2018; 02:20)

Re: Our minds work differently (81,147) (81,156) by Edward from USA RJJ12, thanks for you kind words. Even though I listen to music mostly in the English language, my native language is Spanish and I have a few artists I love and listen to. My Latina version of Mariah is Laura Pausini, especially her older albums. She's Italian but has released all her albums in both Italian and Spanish since the beginning, she's huge in Latin America. Laura, just like Mariah, has lots of introspective and inspirational songs. Her voice is sultry, powerful and beautiful. My Latino versions of Mariah would be Cristian Castro and Luis Miguel. I loved me some Mecano, even though they're not together anymore. I'm actually listening to the album "Bueno" from Descemer Bueno, a cuban singer. Others I listen to are Maná, Ana Torroja, Chayanne, Marc Anthony, Ruben Blades, Miguel Bosé and the list goes on. I picked up a Spanish singer from music my father used to listen to when I was little, his name is Joan Manuel Serrat, his music is pure poetry about life and experiences. Making this list actually made me realized that I love artists who sing about personal life experiences and struggles. (Monday 26 February 2018; 01:39)

Re: Madge's Ray Of Light is 20 years old (81,121) (81,124) by Edward from USA B, he wasn't comparing, it's just his favorite album of all times for obvious reasons, it was great and the soundtrack to a beautiful time in his life. I don't think it should be compared to "Butterfly" because those are two different albums. Both are great, and people would pick depending on taste. I would pick "Butterfly" over it, but I enjoy "Ray of Light". (Saturday 24 February 2018; 17:52)

Re: Our minds work differently (81,113) (81,114) by Edward from USA RJJ12, I didn't get the sarcasm, that's all. I've never been able to comprehend why a whole race/group should be judged just because some natural-born a*holes happened to be part of that race/group. But as you said, moving on. It's time for Mariah to record at least a whistle and release it, we need some music, like, yesterday. lol (Friday 23 February 2018; 20:04)

Dubbing, why? (81,089) by Edward from USA Sometimes I don't even know why she would get her performances dubbed since they were great to begin with. In this with Pavarotti she was better undubbed, it doesn't make sense. (Thursday 22 February 2018; 17:54)

Re: Mariah Carey: Just Be Good To Me (from Japan) (81,080) (81,088) by Edward from USA Bill, I have to say in Mariah's defense that she did more than one take for the MTV Unplugged, they of course copied, pasted and filtered the audio to sound perfect which would considered to be dubbing as well. One thing that really left me flabbergasted was when I heard her raw recording at the Tattoo Club, I posted the whole mini concert once here. They sound nothing like what we get on the tape, of course she must've done different takes. Had Mariah had her boom by 1980, we wouldn't have ever found out, but technology got to her and what she could keep tightly controlled actually has come back to haunt her. (Thursday 22 February 2018; 17:44)

Re: Our minds work differently (81,053) (81,087) by Edward from USA RJJ12, so if Andrew makes a racist comment, you're going to punish him by blasting the gays, because being gay is an offense and since he's gay or their advocate he would feel offended? I'm sorry but I don't understand that logic. So that means that when Sheila makes derogatory gay comments, the gays should make nasty racist remarks to get back at her because being racist is good? What's next, me making derogatory comments towards B because he just moved to Indiana? (Thursday 22 February 2018; 17:34)

Re: Mariah Carey: Just Be Good To Me (from Japan) (81,077) (81,084) by Edward from USA Had Mariah not lipped the National Anthem, it would've been great. It was going well until she "mis-lipped" that part at the end and it was so evident. The recording was great and she looked lovely, but I wish she had done it live like most people before her. But talking about dubbing, since they couldn't actually dub a live performance, she did lip to the best of her ability at that time, and deserves credit for that. (Thursday 22 February 2018; 16:51)

Re: Mariah Carey: Just Be Good To Me (from Japan) (81,069) (81,070) by Edward from USA He answered other questions though, friends talk all the time, they share whatever they want. Friends do. (Wednesday 21 February 2018; 23:30)

Re: Mariah Carey: Just Be Good To Me (from Japan) (81,067) (81,068) by Edward from USA It's rude if a complete stranger asked them, but coming from a close friend, that's different. There's nothing wrong with asking what happened to Mariah's voice, my friend didn't ask the question disrespectfully or Trey would've checked him. People talk shit among friends they don't talk to strangers. Had you asked the question, it would've been rude because you don't know Trey. My friends have been his drinking buddies and know his ass, so you can't tell friends what they can talk about or not. I'm not Trey's friend so I wouldn't ask that question. You know what's rude? Asking Trey why Mariah is using smoke and mirror and pretending to sing live when she's obviously lipping, that's rude. But asking what happened to Mariah's voice, something the whole world has talked about and know about, give me a fat effing break. (Wednesday 21 February 2018; 21:49)

Re: Mariah Carey: Just Be Good To Me (from Japan) (81,061) (81,066) by Edward from USA I'm not implying anything. He was just been evasive. He wouldn't say anything as I wouldn't have talked either had I been in his place. I just thought he would confide a little bit of information to closed friends, but he kept his lips tight. He rolled his eyes, and what my friend got from that was that it was evident that he knew or had his own opinion of what happened, but he wouldn't put his food in jeopardy by talking about it. If we know something happened to her voice and we don't know her like that, Trey is not deaf not to know when he sings back up for her regularly. (Wednesday 21 February 2018; 20:55)
