About B from USA: Slowly but surely®™ The Vindication of B ®™ "There are people called haters and we give them positivity" MC

Re: Music Box songs ranked (83,561) (83,580) by B from USA Daydream is considered an R&B Soul album with Pop leanings. (Monday 3 September 2018; 18:28)

Re: The misconception (83,527) (83,529) by B from USA Epic was never going to promote Infinity or I Don't. The fact that both singles charted on the Hot 100 with no support from Epic and limited promo on Mariah's behalf is impressive. Besides, Mariah is no longer relying solely on Epic for support, she has Roc Nation backing her. I think a Top 20 hit on the Hot 100 and a Top 5 hit on the R&B chart is possible.

Mariah Carey takes the plunge in white gown (83,528) by B from USA Mariah looks amazing and is exuding confidence. She's giving me 05/08 vibes. (Thursday 30 August 2018; 18:11)

Re: Before iHeart (83,511) (83,518) by B from USA I think Mariah's going to give us an up tempo single like Honey with a Weeknd-esque beat. Or at least that's what I'm hoping for. Mariah's announcement in People has generated a lot of buzz and if she delivers a strong single with a decent video she could easily score another Top 20 hit and set the stage for another comeback. (Wednesday 29 August 2018; 22:42)

Re: JLo (83,464) (83,478) by B from USA Brenda, is that you? In all honesty who cares what Brenda thinks that Mariah owes her? Mariah covered her biggest hit and took it to new heights and Brenda has been bitter ever since. (Saturday 25 August 2018; 21:23)

Re: Ariana Grande - Sweetener (83,405) (83,410) by B from USA Saying Sweetner is to Ari what Daydream was to Mariah is blasphomeous [sic]. (Monday 20 August 2018; 14:33)

Re: Aretha Franklin (83,387) (83,401) by B from USA Agree. Listening to Aretha sing Amazing Grace (and Bridge Over Troubled Water) is like a religious experience. (Sunday 19 August 2018; 04:14)

Re: Show duration (83,377) (83,385) by B from USA I assumed she would be late but the show started on time and I missed Vision of Love and Love Takes Time. (Thursday 16 August 2018; 20:08)

Re: Pre-releasing tracks (83,376) (83,384) by B from USA Ariana and Christina both released singles that failed to catch fire and continued to release singles hoping one would eventually catch on but it never happened. Ariana has never recovered from Donutgate, lol. I don't follow Tamia's career so I don't know what happened there. However, if I had to guess I'd wager she did so for the same reason as the aforementioned artists. I think Mariah is going to release an "aggressive" uptempo song as the first single from her new album in the vein of It's Like That, Migrate, I'm That Chick, or Side Effects. I think Mariah will release her new album within weeks of the release of the single or on the same day, with no warning. (Thursday 16 August 2018; 20:05)

Aretha Franklin (83,382) by B from USA Mariah posted a heartfelt tribute to Aretha on her social media accounts. FYI, after seeing Mariah perform Carole King contacted Mariah asking her if she would be interested in covering (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman, a song she had written alongside Gerry Goffin for Aretha Franklin and Mariah politely declined feeling uneasy about covering a song one of her musical influences executed so perfectly. (Thursday 16 August 2018; 19:40)

Re: An Aretha tribute (83,364) (83,378) by B from USA If Mariah participates in a tribute to Aretha she'll most likely talk about how she was influenced by her and about performing with her on Divas Live before singing Chain of Fools. (Wednesday 15 August 2018; 20:42)

The Hot 100's top artists of all time (83,305) by B from USA How did Billboard justify placing Madonna at #2 and Elton at #3 ahead of Elvis and Mariah? (Sunday 5 August 2018; 19:16)

Re: Article: Feud over (83,285) (83,291) by B from USA Mariah shading Jenny, Demi, and Packer is/was justifiable. (Thursday 2 August 2018; 22:55)

Re: New album collabs (83,275) (83,277) by B from USA Lara, who is Dua Lipa? I honestly don't know her. (Wednesday 1 August 2018; 23:27)

Re: New album collabs (83,270) (83,276) by B from USA I've always loved that song and the video. Mariah could definitely do the song justice, her lower registers are criminally overlooked by both fans and critics. However, I would prefer Mariah and Babyface write a proper duet for her and Toni. Besides hasn't Toni already recorded a duet of How Could an Angel Break My Heart with Babyface? (Wednesday 1 August 2018; 23:17)

Re: New album collabs (83,269) (83,273) by B from USA D'Angelo Janet Nas Britney Ed Sheeran Toni Braxton and obviously Bruno Mars and The Smeezingtons (Wednesday 1 August 2018; 05:54)

Mariah Carey posts TBT picture with Britney Spears (83,272) by B from USA I'm sure Mariah is aware of the rumors that claim she's releasing a collaboration (duet) with Britney as her next single. Do I think this post was Mariah confirming the rumors or just trolling? Personallly, I could see this working Mariah sings the song in her lower registers and it's a well written song. (Wednesday 1 August 2018; 05:49)

10 Songs Mariah Carey should add to her Vegas set (83,271) by B from USA I agree with adding Slipping Away, Butterfly, Breakdown, Close my Eyes, and Outside to the set list. I'd add The Roof, Whenever You Call, You're So Cold, Forever, and Petal to the list as well. I would go back to Vegas just to see her perform Slipping Away, lol. Or any of these songs, honestly. (Wednesday 1 August 2018; 05:42)

Re: Pink (83,262) (83,268) by B from USA Pink has always praised Mariah and has called her one of her biggest influences so I could totally see it happening. (Tuesday 31 July 2018; 15:21)

Re: Change of topic (83,239) (83,241) by B from USA Slowly but surely, darling. (Tuesday 24 July 2018; 02:55)

Change of topic (83,215) by B from USA Can we please move on from discussing the current state of Mariah's voice. How about a list, lol. Here's my list of the people I want her to work with on her new album: Bruno Mars and The Smeezingtons Miguel and Happy Perez Frank Ocean Ryan Tedder The Weeknd Shea Taylor Benny Blanco Cashmere Cat Diplo Frank Max Martin  (Sunday 22 July 2018; 03:56)

Re: A message for B (83,163) (83,214) by B from USA Have you watched any of her Christmas performances at the Beacon theater? Have you seen her 2013/2014 performance of The Art of Letting Go on Fallon? Or more recently her slaying Can't Let Go? Mariah's voice is delicate and she's uncomfortable on stage yet when well rested, rehearsed, and in the right environment she can still deliver live. Personally, I think she's doing the residencies and tours to overcome her stage fright and become a better performer and obviously to reconnect with and reengage her fanbase like she did in 2003 with the Charmbracelet world tour after critics and fans alike began guestioning her vocal abilities. (Sunday 22 July 2018; 03:35)

Re: Dana Jon Chapelle (83,173) (83,213) by B from USA Imagine being at the controls when she recorded Daydream and Butterfly like he was, he was probably awestruck by her voice. I know I would've been. I would like to hear him talk about working with Mariah and her recording process. I love the David Cole and Robert Clivillés interview in which they talked about dozing off and Mariah waking them up when she hit a certain note. Was they referring to the recording of Emotions or You're So Cold? (Sunday 22 July 2018; 03:31)

Re: Walter A. (83,196) (83,202) by B from USA Mariah has stated that Walter ran to Tommy and told him he thought Mariah was making a mistake by working with the producers and collaborators she was wprking with which he confronted Mariah about and the only way he would have known was if Walter told him, Mariah isn't an idiot. He's bitter Mariah was able to succeed without him. If she hadn't changed her sound she would have followed Celine into irrelevance in 2002. By taking her music in an urban direction she been able to remain relevant as an R&B artist, which she's always been. She's never been a pop star, she was only a pop star when R&B was considered pop in the 90's and 2000's. (Saturday 21 July 2018; 01:00)

Re: A message for B (83,200) (83,201) by B from USA I never said Mariah should come clean about the state of her voice or the cause of her vocal decline. I believe Mariah still has most voice. If she had lost even half of her voice her whistle register would have been the first to go followed by most of her upper register. Her voice has changed because of the constant recording over the last 28 years but when well rested and in the right environment she's still capable of greatness. (Saturday 21 July 2018; 00:49)
