About Edward from USA:

Fat Oprah (77,572) by Edward from USA Clearly "beauty is in the eyes of the beer holder". I don't necessarily think being overweight, not obese, is ugly, there are many overweight people who I consider to be beautiful and attractive. Mariah has been in shape most of her life, that's what we've seen from her. She didn't come out to the music scene being chubby like Adele or Oprah. People have loved Oprah through all her weight stages because Oprah doesn't have a shady, arrogant, stinky attitude, and that's the main key, and besides I don't remember the last time Oprah was selling sex as part of her show. Mariah has sold sex as part of her act for a long time now, she's been touching her nipples on music videos for as long as I can remember, those magic push-up bras she one wore in the late 90's gave her boobs twice the size, so she's going to be called out when her weight goes up. The thing is that she makes things worse with her choice of clothing, and nobody seems to be telling her when she looks like a blowup doll. As a regular person, people wouldn't give an effing damn about her weight, but she's a celebrity and that's what some people don't understand, and everything has to do with the attitude. Oprah, Gabourey Sidibe and Adele are all overweight ladies, but loved by the most people, but why, well, their attitudes. Then we have Kirstie Alley, a woman with a stinky attitude, whom many people love to hate. Mariah can be as fat as Gabourey if she wants to be, is her body and her choice, but she definitely needs to work on her choice in clothing and her diva attitude. Minimizing her intake of Doritos, Big Macs and alcohol would also help. And Licia, I think you're beautiful. (Sunday 30 July 2017; 13:56)

Re: Like the rest of us, she isn't (77,544) (77,546) by Edward from USA Yes, it makes sense when it comes to a celebrity whose income is directly proportional to the public image she portrays. Regular people don't get "he/she is just a human" pass when they don't do their job well. Yes, she has the means to even get a psychologist or a psychiatrist should she need one. Many fat people here in America don't have free healthcare or the means to get help, and things are about to get worse now. Mariah has the money for that. I'm not saying we, as fans, shouldn't be compassionate. At the end of the day we're her fans and stick with her through thick and thin, but we shouldn't expect that from the general public who don't know what we know about her, only what she shows, her diva persona that comes across as arrogant most of the time. There's a great person behind that diva facade, why not show it? Mariah saved an old friend's life by paying for her alternative cancer treatment, she didn't hesitate to give the woman the money. We, as fans, can believe and relate to that Mariah, but the rest wouldn't believe it based on the way she behaves. She doesn't have to change who she is, but this is a game she's playing to win or at least to stay in for a long time. She can't do the same things over and over expecting different results, that's the definition of insanity. We have witnessed that when Mariah put herself into it, she sings well consistently, dress well and let that beautiful person shine through. Mariah is a wonderful person, but the last 3 fans she has won't be enough to keep her in the game, even if we buy multiple copies of her albums, singles, perfumes, panties or watch her reality show. If she doesn't get the general public on board somehow, her career is doomed. She's doing great with Lionel Richie, I hope she keeps it up. (Saturday 29 July 2017; 02:26)

Like the rest of us, she isn't (77,536) by Edward from USA I do think Mariah is a good person. I also think there's humbleness in her, but the diva game she's been playing ever since she started believing her own hype has tarnished her brand. It's not about whether she's perfect or not, nobody's asking her to be perfect. When you're a celebrity as big as she is, people are going to talk about and make up shit about you. It is about coming across in a way that people wouldn't think you're just an arrogant superficial bitch. Mariah has a huge ego, but when she puts it in check or when she listens to professional people who actually want to help her, she usually comes out a winner. As much as we don't want to admit it, Mariah is not like the rest of us, she's a celebrity and with fame and fortune comes responsibility too. I don't believe in fat shaming, but we can all be fat in our respective homes, but Mariah can't afford being fat and not being noticed. She signed up for a life of luxury, fame, fortune, now she should deal it with it. If she can bring Stella and her posse with her everywhere, she could hire and bring a personal trainer along together with a cook and a dietician. If overweight people had the means she has, I'm pretty sure they would do the same, but with Mariah everything's going to be magnified and she should just do something about it. That's the life she chose, and no matter how many times we try to convince ourselves that Mariah is just a mere human like the rest of us, well, sorry to tell you that she isn't. Let's not pretend people are going to give her a break, she should give herself a break from all the shenanigans that haven't obviously been working for her and then things would definitely change. It's up to her, not to us. She definitely needs to go back to the drawing board, back to basics. (Friday 28 July 2017; 21:34)

Re: ? (77,459) (77,462) by Edward from USA B, you should be able to download any music you upload or purchased from them as many times as you want. You should hover your mouse pointer over "Account and Lists", then on the right side scroll down and click on "Your Music Library", and from there you should be able to download your music. If you think you're having too much of a headache, and since I know you really bought the music because you're a fan, email me and I'll send them to you. (Tuesday 25 July 2017; 17:11)

Re: Someday (new vocals) (77,439) (77,440) by Edward from USA Lambily god? Lol. Nice smile by the way. Mariah used to have that beautiful aura that shows in your picture. Hopefully she gets it back, I guess she's working on it. (Monday 24 July 2017; 21:12)

Re: Someday (new vocals) (77,428) (77,430) by Edward from USA I'll send you an mp3, just tell me where to. (Monday 24 July 2017; 16:30)

Re: Someday (new vocals) (77,417) (77,419) by Edward from USA That's exactly what Mariah should do, get those vocal outakes from her early hits, package them and release them. All of us are salivating for something like that to happen. I just made my very own .Mp3 of this version of "Someday", it's definitely refreshing. (Monday 24 July 2017; 01:41)

Lionel and Lioness Carey (77,407) by Edward from USA Looking at the clips from YouTube, I'm happy Mariah delivered with grace. It's definitely not only about expecting her to sound as if she were 20, of course some parts were lipped as expected, but in general she did give it her all. One thing that stood up to me was the fact that Mariah actually looked like she really wanted to be there, not just be done with the job, and that made a huge difference. She really enjoyed herself, and those tears were of joy for the support and the overwhelming love she was receiving. We seem to keep looking at her and all we can see is the girl who lives inside the golden world, but maybe, just maybe, that's not all there is to see. I, more than ever, believe in this verse: "She smiles through a thousand tears And harbors adolescent fears She dreams of all That she can never be She wades in insecurity And hides herself inside of me" (Sunday 23 July 2017; 14:48)

It's just a plan (77,328) by Edward from USA Eric, is there a way you could add a "Delulu" icon. It's desperately needed. Lol. (Thursday 20 July 2017; 21:25)

New album (77,304) by Edward from USA Do you guys still think Mariah's releasing a new album by the end of the year? Probably she might just one day make it available on iTunes and Amazon without much noise. That would be something. (Thursday 20 July 2017; 04:42)

Re: Searching for Neverland (77,285) (77,294) by Edward from USA RJJ12, thanks for the video and additional information. I didn't know it was actually that deep. He was actually worth more dead than alive for some of these leeches. I'm not too much into conspiracy theories, but judging by the recounts from the bodyguard and the video you pointed out, he would actually make more money for them dead than alive, given the fact that, according to the bodyguards, Michael was hesitant about going back on stage which seemed to have been blocking these leeches from profiting from him. So sad. It's good that Morgan said something similar could happen to Mariah, at least it's out there. I don't believe in family airing their dirty laundry in public, but when it comes to that specific part, I'm glad he said it. (Wednesday 19 July 2017; 18:45)

Searching for Neverland (77,279) by Edward from USA This is not related to Mariah, but I just watched "Michael Jackson: Searching for Neverland" and I'm actually surprised and pleased at how they showed a Michael Jackson many people didn't know about. The story is told from recounts of his bodyguards who used to be close to him, and it's actually very believable. They could've gone for the controversial Michael Jackson image, but instead the story is told with grace and, in my opinion, with honesty. I hope they could show Mariah in this light while she's still with us. (Wednesday 19 July 2017; 02:12)

Game of Thrones (77,263) by Edward from USA The sooner we realize that Rihanna is going to surpass Mariah's 18 #1's the better. At least it would be someone who not only respects her, but who also has been inspired by her, someone who, in spite of her pop status and unapologetic bad girl image, humbles herself every time she talks about Mariah or when her name is mentioned. I mostly listen to Rihanna's when I'm working out or when I want to feel upbeat, but I don't consider myself to be a fan. Why will Rihanna surpass Mariah's #1's? Well, Unlike Mariah, Rihanna tend to get featured on so many songs in between and during and after releasing an album that she'll score more than 21 #1's for sure, it's only a matter of time. I don't think it's a matter of comparing them vocally or artistically, if it's not Rihanna, it will be somebody else, just like Mariah broke many other records who had been set before she came as a force to be reckoned with in the music scene. As a fan, I do hope she keeps the OSD record for a long time though. That record is more significant to me than her 18 #1's. Only hard-core fans remember that Mariah wrote and produced most of her #1's, the public doesn't care much about that, they just see it as just another #1. The thing is that ever since forever Mariah's been promoted using her #1's that some people have gotten to resent that. At this point, I just hope Mariah stops chasing the next hit trying to desperately appeal to an audience that doesn't seem to be paying attention to what she's offering. I hope she concentrates on creating quality music regardless of hit potential; she's earned that right at this point in her life. Many of the artists labeled as "has been" have tried to emulate their previous eras and come across as desperate. If Mariah works in being consistent by taking care of whatever's left of her voice and couple it with great music, she would still have an audience for sure. We get disappointed and complain, but we're still here for a reason, not just because we like to suffer or troll. (Tuesday 18 July 2017; 16:44)

Re: Stop the negativity (77,137) (77,140) by Edward from USA Eric, a vomit button? I can't deal. Remember polyps and nodules can have an effect on people's short term memory. Eric, and you know very well that before addressing this person you should've waited for "Le Posté du Francois", remember they come in pairs. Lol. (Friday 14 July 2017; 22:28)

Re: Stop the negativity (77,127) (77,132) by Edward from USA At 17 you're pretty angry and hateful toward others. You need to chill a bit. When you were still fighting with millions of your siblings to come to be, we were already fans of Mariah's, and already in this messageboard. Welcome to the MCArchives Family by the way. (Friday 14 July 2017; 21:15)

Re: Why you mad at Mariah? (77,089) (77,090) by Edward from USA Completely agree with you. It's frustrating looking back at the way her music and persona used to make me feel when new music was about to drop or a performance was about to take place. I can't describe it, but the excitement in anticipation of Mariah releasing new music was comparable to me only to that of when you're in love and feel those wonderful butterflies in your stomach. I think I'm following your approach, which is to just not let this mess she's become interfere with the wonderful music and performances she graced us with, because this is what's been happening to me. There's always a little bit of hope in my heart that she might do something to turn things around, but I do also have the awful feeling that she'll end up like Michael and Whitney, and then there wouldn't be hope anymore. I wish for her to be there for her children and see them go to college, but there's clearly something very off with Mariah that only the delusional ones refuse to see. I think she should just retire for now, devote herself to her children, and then eventually resurface in a different light. This constant "all in your face everything but good music" Mariah we've been experiencing lately has made a joke out of once was a great brand. (Thursday 13 July 2017; 18:44)

The Muppet I don't want to name (77,022) by Edward from USA I don't really want to say the name of that female Muppet because I don't want to be disrespectful to people who are overweight due to medical reasons, but Mariah is looking more and more like that character from the Muppet's Show I used to watch when I was a kid. If she keeps going like that Ms. Piggy's going to sue her for copying her brand. She's really turned into a vivid caricature of her former self, and it seems to be that at this point there's not shame in putting horrendous performances while dressed like a circus poodle, I can't. Her legs look as if they were detachable from the hips, like they don't go with her body. If it's not medical, I hope she lays off the pizza and big Macs, people are not paying their money to see her sounding and looking like that. (Monday 10 July 2017; 22:05)

Re: Tarkan at Baku (76,678) (76,681) by Edward from USA Eric, I think you didn't really quite get what he was trying to say, remember he's from France and sometimes his posts don't come across as he intends them to. I've been taking up some French classes and this is what he was trying to say: Mariah should spread a 15-song concert over five days. She would sing three songs per night and go home, rest her voice, make sure her husband Stella has eaten, and stuff, then she would return next day to sing three more songs and so forth until five days have gone by and she would be done. The fans would also go home and appreciate she's doing it so they could have a better experience and value for their money. You may be the Webmaster, but I think sometimes you're so touchy. You should be happy Mariah sang "Thanks For Nothing" and sounded just like the CD, impressive. And if you can't be optimistic after that bodysuit, I'm sorry for you. (Tuesday 27 June 2017; 01:13)

Re: Could we all be part of another metamorphosis? (76,657) (76,660) by Edward from USA The difference is that back in 1997 Mariah morphed from her "Little Goody Two-Shoes" image into a sexy, never trashy, and talented sexy butterfly. She changed her looks, but her music was still strong and spoke to people. She alienated some fans, but gained others. What really kept her afloat was her music because the woman poured her soul into it, vocally and lyrically. Now, Mariah "ain't no" spring chicken anymore. Her looks are mostly awful, the music is not priority anymore, her voice is still declining, and no, a 3-year vocal rest won't get it back to where it was, and I'm not expecting that either. This new generation won't keep Mariah, as talented singer/songwriter afloat if Mariah is not delivering a product worth buying/consuming. Mariah's name is being kept afloat, but based on what? Based on obviously scripted reality TV, planting stories, lies, endorsement deals, questionable behavior, and awful performances. I wouldn't mind the diva behavior as long as she could stand in front of a mike and sing for her life at least one song every once in a blue moon, but that's rarely the case. Attitude really matters, Christina attitude killed her career. Adele could be overweight, underweight or whatever, but the woman delivers when she has to, and her attitude? Well, being humble and not believing your own hype works. The woman thinks Mariah should be in the Bible, yet Mariah said she never heard "Hello". (Monday 26 June 2017; 15:46)

F1 Baku (76,647) by Edward from USA I don't really care much about how Mariah dresses, but the woman really needs a reality check, and quick. she should at least be mindful of her weight and dress appropriately. I don't care if she wants to be as big as Gabourey Sidibe, but please dress accordingly. She definitely looks like bootleg Precious in that bodysuit. (Monday 26 June 2017; 03:46)

Re: Mariah Carey doesn't want to be interviewed - 2017 (76,631) (76,646) by Edward from USA Stella does it because Mariah allows it. Mariah is not deaf, she clearly heard the guy. She's given autographs to some fans before when her bodyguards had told them it wasn't going to happen. Remember what Nick said, Mariah manages Mariah. Had Mariah had a problem with it, Stella wouldn't be doing it. As much as I can't stand Stella, Mariah is responsible for it, as simple as that. One day there won't be any more scapegoats to shield Mariah from her responsibility and diva behavior. I'm just wondering when she'll put out some decent music, a real collaboration with a known artist would do her well. She really needs it. I feel sad she didn't utilize Justin Bieber by producing a great track with him in it. The guy seems to have the Midas touch Mariah used to have in her prime. (Monday 26 June 2017; 03:38)

Re: The violence verification (76,459) (76,462) by Edward from USA Drew, if Mariah said it, then it must be true. Right? This is a verse from "Side Effects": "Wakin' up scared some nights Still dreamin' 'bout the violent times Still a little protective 'bout the people That I let inside Still a little defensive Thinkin' folks be tryin' to run my life Still a little depressed Inside I fake a smile and deal with the side effects" That's the evidence that he was violent, she said it in "Side Effects" and we as good lambs shouldn't question it. We all know Tommy wasn't a saint. He was obsessed and even tried to sabotage her, but I don't blindly believe everything Mariah says, especially after Mariah's World. She lost credibility with me. The truth is usually somewhere in the middle. (Tuesday 20 June 2017; 18:59)

Re: Glitter era vs now (Glitter era still had vocals) (76,455) (76,460) by Edward from USA I only read your posts when I want to have a laugh, you're pretty funny. It's just that there's nobody else here who can make me fall out laughing the way you do. Other than that, nothing in what you have to say is ever realistic or factual or even interesting. And I know you read my posts, if you didn't, you wouldn't be replying. Oops. Bye Edouard. (Tuesday 20 June 2017; 18:40)

Re: Glitter era vs now (Glitter era still had vocals) (76,450) (76,453) by Edward from USA Holy Moly, Edouard, you just made me have an epiphany. I see it all clear now. Mariah is putting out a series of mediocre singles so people get really disappointed with her music and not focus on it. For that she's bringing the attention to her tits, Stella and the posse. And then, she'll come back with a killer album at the end of 2037 and retire. Wow, I never thought of it that way. I always thought you were delusional, but you've opened my eyes. Mariah really knows what she's doing, she always has. (Tuesday 20 June 2017; 16:09)

Re: Mariah has got to stop (76,407) (76,409) by Edward from USA Andrew, as much as I don't like Stella, and as Nick said, Mariah manages Mariah. I don't blame Stella, but Mariah for going along with the craziness. As for Mariah being medicated, I do agree with you. Morgan said Mariah was bipolar, and even though I don't applaud him for putting her business out there, I believe he was telling the truth. I also believe the medication she takes has an effect on her weight. (Monday 19 June 2017; 03:17)
