Re: Janet Netflix series (75,943) (75,947) by Edward from USA I agree with you. And Netflix would rather close down than give Mariah an opportunity to direct anything they produce. I think Mariah should stick to exclusively sing and write. She's not even good at doing reality, lol. There's a scene on "How To Get Away With Murder" where Annalise Keating is shown taking off her wig and make up. I'm pretty sure Mariah would've cursed the hell out of E. had she been asked to be shown make-up and weave-less on MW. Lol. (Thursday 1 June 2017; 22:33)

Re: Janet Netflix series (75,941) (75,945) by Edward from USA Janet, by the way, is a good actress and has been involved in a lot of successful projects. I don't think she would engage in reality TV out of desperation. (Thursday 1 June 2017; 22:19)

Re: Janet Netflix series (75,941) (75,944) by Edward from USA RibbonD, how shady can you be? (Thursday 1 June 2017; 22:14)

I'll do it for money, honey (75,918) by Edward from USA Some tend to say: "If the music is good, people will buy it", leaving out important factors like whether there is a connection between the fans and the artist or whether the artist is a jackass, an obnoxious diva or just a person perceived as arrogant. Mariah and Kanye come across as arrogant divas. Even though Mariah doesn't come as crazy as Kanye. Looking at Mariah's attitude from the 90's and most of the 2000's, we can see she was better respected and liked than the Circus Mariah we have today, and it is sad that everything has come to this. Barbra Streisand, different from Mariah, cultivated an audience that will follow her until the day she's no longer with us, but she did it with consistency all along and making sure her brand wasn't ever cheapened. Nobody can say she didn't take chances, because the woman basically did it all, having the following awards under her skirt: Grammy, Tony, Emmy, Oscar and Golden Globe. That tells us that by taking chances at doing different things, you don't have to cheapen your brand and reduce your career to that of a talentless reality tv star. I always thought Mariah would be like Barbra when her popularity wasn't there anymore, but I was dead wrong. Mariah's career/brand started falling apart when her focus switched from doing what she loved and getting money from it to doing whatever for money. (Wednesday 31 May 2017; 22:31)

Merry Christmas II You (75,879) by Edward from USA It's impressive how Mariah was more focus on music while going through a high-risk pregnancy. MCIIY was a great album, her voice improved tremendously, recovering some of that buttery tone she had lost in the 90's. I was like: This woman is about to give birth(so dramatic) on stage while singing "One Child" at "Christmas in Washington 2010" and on top of that with her very own set of polyps and nodules, yet she gave us a great performance. That's the Mariah most of us fell in love with, the Mariah that put together a song like "One Child" and delivers it with conviction and mastery. That's why I don't understand how after "Almost Home", "100%" and "One Child", she could come with "I Didn't" and "Oh no, I Didn't" remix and expect people to take her seriously.

Re: Mariah lost the plot after Memoirs (75,876) (75,878) by Edward from USA When "Obsessed" was released the music industry was definitely morphing into something completely different from what we had experienced, but Mariah seemed focus on promotion and serious about her music. Somewhere along the way after "Angel's Advocate" was shelved, she lost interest. It seemed to be that her muse or love for music wasn't there anymore. Yes, she's always said music is her passion, but it keeps looking like she's only saying it and not acting on it. Did she run out of things to sing about or did she hit a creative wall? Maybe, it happens to people, and she's only human, but I rather she takes her time to create great music than putting something out thinking her name would be enough for it to successful when she's not relevant like that anymore. I would actually be happy if she came with a great album in a couple of years, and not an album full of mediocre music that would look like a stain in her impressive catalogue.

Re: Message from Martyn's mom (75,869) (75,877) by Edward from USA It was definitely beautiful. When Martyn posted how his heart was breaking because his mother hadn't sold anything at that fair, it also broke my heart and I understood how much they really loved each other. She must be proud Martyn had so many people who genuinely loved him. If he's watching from anywhere, he must be proud and happy. (Tuesday 30 May 2017; 14:47)

Re: I was born at night, not last night (75,868) (75,870) by Edward from USA Lila, you made my day with that post. He might come at you with his account from France. (Monday 29 May 2017; 23:17)

Re: I was born at night, not last night (75,858) (75,865) by Edward from USA Preach, Lila. You've stated it precisely and concisely. Shawn is just another enabler playing along with the other players. I doubt we're getting a new album at the end of the year. (Monday 29 May 2017; 21:20)

Battle of the albums round 1 (75,811) by Edward from USA Mariah Carey vs Emotions, and why. (Saturday 27 May 2017; 20:44)

Re: Mariah Carey, debut album (75,803) (75,806) by Edward from USA Love Takes Time was sung during all her Vega's "#1 to Infinity" shows. She didn't actually sing the whole song, but she did a decent job with it nonetheless. (Saturday 27 May 2017; 16:23)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey back in business with Hallmark Channel (75,757) (75,773) by Edward from USA Mimi L., you're banned from the board until you behave accordingly. (Friday 26 May 2017; 17:01)

Daydream (75,768) by Edward from USA I actually prefer Butterfly over Daydream, and consider it a better album overall, but saying TEOM is a better album than Daydream is delulant. (Friday 26 May 2017; 15:04)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey back in business with Hallmark Channel (75,729) (75,732) by Edward from USA Eric, are you excited about her upcoming Hallmark movies? If they're anything like the first one, I'm actually happy they haven't come out. Lol. (Thursday 25 May 2017; 22:53)

Re: Daydream (75,716) (75,731) by Edward from USA Daydream is an album I hold close to my heart. The perfect blend of Pop and R&B. I think is the most cohesive album Mariah has ever released. Her voice was buttery and effortless, her whistle register was barely used, only to adorn certain tracks, and besides it wasn't really needed. The tracks flow seamlessly as if they were tied together but with different types of emotions. Whoever compares Daydream to TEOM in terms of voice quality, lyrics and delivery must be in need of hearing aid. TEOM was a great return to form overall, but her voice sounded strained and sometimes too nasal. While Daydream relies purely on her voice and lyrics and sound TEOM relies too much on belting and her whistle register almost in all its tracks, and Mariah didn't pen one single track by herself. I love TEOM, and I love myself some Butterfly, probably my favorite album, but Daydream is definitely Mariah's magnum opus. There's a reason why it had so many nominations and solidified Mariah's status as megastar. (Thursday 25 May 2017; 22:49)

Re: Martyn who? He is not the only victim (75,698) (75,707) by Edward from USA You got some effing nerves. Martyn who? A member of our MCArchives family. Everybody is saddened by what happen to all the victims, but Martyn wasn't just an unknown victim to us, he was Martyn the one who posted and interacted with us on the messageboard. Martyn the one who was just planning a vacation to America and was asking for opinions. Would you tell the friends, family and acquaintances of the other victims not to focus individually on them with a memorial, a website, or a Facebook page for them? Let everybody grieve however the hell they want. (Thursday 25 May 2017; 15:07)

Andrew (75,682) by Edward from USA Andrew, I want to express how sorry I am for your loss. I didn't know Martyn personally either, but from what I could gather, he was not only a poster to you, but a friend you talked to on the phone and interacted with out of our MCArchives family. He disagreed with you on occasions, but he was always team Andrew when some wanted you banned from this board. I wish I were in the UK, I would definitely go with you to his funeral. I have come to realize that we can disagree here and even get mad at one another sometimes, but we're a family nonetheless. Peace. (Thursday 25 May 2017; 00:23)

Martyn: RIP (75,636) by Edward from USA So tragic and surreal. I can't believe he was just talking about his plans for a long vacation in America just a few days ago. In Memory of Martyn, I'll be playing "The Wind" today. (Wednesday 24 May 2017; 13:09)

Re: Martyn's safety (75,577) (75,589) by Edward from USA I hope Martyn is OK and that he return home soon safe and sound. (Tuesday 23 May 2017; 15:42)

Hear no evil, see no evil (75,566) (75,568) (75,587) by Edward from USA Stacey and Randy, your responses were spot on. Randy, I once stated how frustrating was having Mariah messing one-song random performances when she's had months to prepare, and this person said that it was because Mariah had nodules and polyps, go figure. At that point I realized there was not way of having a reasonable conversation with this type of deluluness. These are the type of lambs that go on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and such and help Stella keep Mariah in her bubble with the craziness that's going on. What's next, Mariah showing one of her boobs in concert and be praised because Madonna did too? I can't. (Tuesday 23 May 2017; 15:26)

Re: Honey I shrunk the fanbase (75,504) (75,530) by Edward from USA Lila, Mariah has sadly made her bed and now she has to lie pretty in it while touching her herself. She would need a miracle to sell anything substantial with all the trashy shit she's been pulling left and right, not only music wise, but also image wise. She's definitely given us the middle finger, but Karma is a big fat bitch. Many of us fans who haven't left are just waiting for a glimpse of that Mariah we used to love to emerge, but it seems that it's never going to happen. As I said before, she's about to have a rude awakening. There's no way she could gain enough people to buy her upcoming music with this circus around. Everybody knows her relationship with Tanaka is fake. Everybody knows many lies were told on Mariah's World just for money. She'll see the fruits of her doings pretty soon. (Monday 22 May 2017; 15:15)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey risks a very embarrassing slip (75,513) (75,527) by Edward from USA Nick telling Mariah to leave her trashy tits in the face outfits behind is never going to happen. You should try Stella, so she can tell you to go f yourself. You see, Stella is just empowering Mariah to channel her inner slut. (Monday 22 May 2017; 14:52)

Bring me the money (75,468) by Edward from USA If these stunts translated into anything positive like albums/singles sales, I would at least say everything's justified, but sadly that's not the case. When you see Stella crying telling Mariah she was so moved when Mariah was laying down her "soulful vocals" for "Oh no, she Didn't", there's a big problem. If Stella's the one who's going to give Mariah credible and honest criticism on her upcoming music, we're up for a big surprise. (Sunday 21 May 2017; 03:03)
