About Andrew from the UK:

Mariah, please be ready (104,008) by Andrew from the UK I don't know how much money Mariah makes from royalties each year but it's surely got to be around the US$50m mark? I can appreciate the "rug pulled from under you" theory - but it's so unlikely as to be an impossibility. I cannot now see, at this age, and with the experience she has, why Mariah cannot lower the keys of the songs, sing them, and move around the stage once more. Madonna is ten years older than Mariah, recently got out of hospital, clearly still has an injury to her leg, and still is still delivering a reasonable energised and effective show (although there's a lot of criticism of a different nature that can be levelled at that artist). I have always said that I think Mariah's weight, and ever expanding breasts, have negatively impacted her movement and her singing - if she cared about her fans she would do something about it. She would lower the keys of her songs, put on a pair of pants, move about the stage again and have actual fun rather than looking like a (rein)deer in headlights. And we would have a lot more fun with it. For the love of all that is holy, Mariah: go back to the way you were. (Friday 10 November 2023; 09:15) this is a reply to message 104,004

Mariah, please be ready (104,004) by Will from England Your comparisons are quite correct: nobody would expect any professional at the top of their game to return to the field in which they dominated after sustaining an injury. I also agree that Mariah should not talk about her voice in public, and she knows it. Maybe in a few years time, if she dains to produce a second book, she may talk about it then, but until that time, she will remain tight lipped. And speaking of which, she is far too reliant on her auto-cue to move her along in the script of the show, to know the next line of the song, and still she can get caught out. I agree also that her desire to perform has greatly deminished, and I think at this point, that is to be expected. But then again, I think she's in a very odd positioning that few of her peers can relate to. She isn't Beyonce, Gaga or Madonna - who rely on the theatrics of the stage. She isn't having the hits that she once had, so she can't rely on that aspect of the business. There isn't much money in the music industry unless you have an AIWFC type of song, or are Taylor Swift, so she can't rely solely on music for her main income (which is why she has all the deals at Christmas), and she's beyond the point of where she could easily pivot and do what Rihanna, Kelly and J. Hud have done, which is to fully diversify and fully go into other opportunites outside of music for their coin. Who else in her peer group can relate to this state of career limbo? I think her continuing to put on shows, does stem from the deep seeded fear she once spoke of, of having the rug pulled from underneath you. She and her family live and extravegant lifestyle and all her income comes solely from music, which I've already said doesn't pay much anymore. So I think that she feels she has to continue on putting on shows to still bring in the money, and why not when it's such an easy goldmine to delve into until people are tired of it. It doesn't matter how much she is worth, that feeling doesn't fully ever subside or go away. (Thursday 9 November 2023; 23:46)

Mariah, please be ready (104,000) by Andrew from the UK I could not disagree more. If Mariah starts talking about her inability to sing - it is all anyone will talk about when referencing her, it will added on to every story written about her where is has no revelance and it will be the overriding, overarching narrative to her life. Mariah does not need to talk about the voice. What Mariah does need to do is stop being - let's see if this gets through - fat lazy lipsync artist. It's boring. There is nothing stopping Mariah being fit, healthy, engaging, and singing more of her catalogue live than she does. She just doesn't want to. What she wants is for the sheep to blindly keep handing over money for crap she lazily puts out. Mariah does not lack confidence in herself. Mariah just doesn't give a smurf about your confidence in her. She doesn't care about her fans, despite the lip-service she pays us. She cares about money coming in and people around her telling her she's amazing. And not fat. And not lazy. And not ripping people off. MC30's are great. MC54 is blah.

Mariah, please be ready (103,999) by ADAM from USA Will - your recap and detailed memory are amazing. I just wish that Mariah would be transparent about her vocal issues while she's alive to tell it the right way. It's really disappointing to see many of her peers like Barbra Streisand and Bruce Springsteen still thriving in their older years and being able to tell their story the way it should be told. Mariah continues to be deceitful with the smoke and mirrors and lack of energy and effort when it comes to her preparedness. It's clear it's a money grab for her every holiday season. She is obsessed with her image and not with her vocal training or preparedness. I stress that I wish she would tell her own story because the reality is, when she's gone I bet you there will be hundreds of stories from fellow musicians, background workers in film and music, personal assistants, glam team, etc that will start revealing all the details that Mariah would do to conceal or distort her failing instrument. It's going to be really messy so why not just be forward and tell the story yourself in the way it should be told. This is coming from a place of love with me. I'm not being critical for the sake of being a troll or click bait, it's out of love and respect for my favorite artist in my lifetime. I realize she's human and has flaws like all of us. However, she has a platform that most people can only dream of, so I wish she'd use her privilege in a more useful way while she's still alive with all of us. (Thursday 9 November 2023; 13:59)

Mariah, please be ready (103,995) by Andrew from the UK It's hard to find a comparator for a singer but when a tennis player has an injury they do not sign up for a circuit of Grand Slams and tournaments. When a rugby player has a pulled hamstring, they are taken out of the season. If you can't sing, don't get on stage - and charge money for it? This sounds mean, maybe it is. And I think if people know what's going to happen and they buy tickets to it, then I'm all for that. But very majorly supportive of people like Adam who chooses not to buy high-price tickets to something very average. The Caution tour was Mariah's first tour in the UK I didn't attend since the Rainbow tour. Because I, likewise, didn't see the point. I'd rather spend the money on a vacation - which is what it costs now. However, I think you're missing the crux. It isn't that Mariah isn't signing so much, it's that she doesn't move, she doesn't banter much, she doesn't do much of anything. I remember attending the Christmas show at the O2 not far from me: I could see she was reading an autocue of what to say. "I have my own reindeeeeer." That isn't just a loss of confidence, that's a loss of dignity, wouldn't you say? When someone is asking Mariah to be prepared, it's a grave, grave state of affairs that this needs to be requested. But, I do hope she puts on a good show and doesn't fill YouTube with yet more toss. (Thursday 9 November 2023; 00:36) this is a reply to message 103,994

Mariah, please be ready (103,994) by Will from England It's very true that from 1990 to 2008, she was very confident on stage and quite rightly so. Her voice was in control, she could do anything she wanted with it and it would be there. 2009 onwards, she has suffered from persistent public vocal mishaps: 1 - Michael Jackson's funeral: Her first mishap where her voice cracked and it was talked about in public. However, she had many strong performances after this. 2 - Rockerfeller mic leak: Her first major public scandal on her voice, which saw her pull back from performing on the show after 3-4 fantastic annual performances. I believe this is where the majority of her fears of performing started in earnest, and for her to never have a something like this happen again, relying more on playback for her harder songs later on. 3 - Good Morning America: Now it's difficult to pinpoint what the problem was here, whether it was the sound mix, playback failure or something else, but again, her performance of Beautiful got mixed responses. 4 - MIAM tour: The early stages of the tour were upstaged by her bronchitis and it took her a while to recover. But once she did, she had some great vocal moments again. 5 - NYE: We don't need to rehash this one. Given that Mariah is someone that has always prided on her image, how she is perceived, and the one thing she prided on was her voice, to be able to have it perform flawlessly that would bring people to their feet in admiration and applause. Now, it is unreliable, inconsistent and does not do what she wishes for it to do. It has reduced itself down, giving her more heavier bass notes rather than the high notes she used to sail into with an ease. She doesn't know what it's going to do next, whether she can rely on it in public. So, taking all that into account, and the vitriol she has had from the public (need I remind you that even during the press conference for #1 to Infinity, she was asked whether there were gonna be many pre-recorded vocals), with the knowledge that she knows she is going to be filmed and have it analysed note for note, why are you surprised she has become less of a confident performer? (Wednesday 8 November 2023; 22:29)

Mariah, please be ready (103,993) by Andrew from the UK I don't understand from where this idea of Mariah being an "unconfident" performer still permeates? She was unrefined during the debut performances into Emotions perhaps, but 1993 - 2008 oozed confidence - granted: sometimes ebbing, sometimes flowing, but confident she was. It is only since Memoirs did Mariah have a personality transplant. I'm swaying to the idea that she was beamed up to the mothership and replaced with a somewhat imperfect and faulty replica.

Mariah, please be ready (103,992) by Brandon from USA It irritates me when she just wings it because it's so evident. Some people who are natural and confident performers (Celine, Whitney, Fantasia, etc.) could get away with it but performing in front of people is just not where MC is strong. She has even referred to herself as a studio artist in interviews. However, with constant practice and working with seasoned professionals, she could get there. I've never understood why she hasn't called Frank Gatson who has helped Beyoncé become the performer that she is today. For some reason, it comes off that she is only concerned with the glam aspect but doesn't really care about actually performing and giving people an experience at her shows. It feels lazy. I feel like she thinks "I'll just stand here, sing (lip sync) these songs right quick, collect my check and go lay back down and be pampered." If she won't practice and rehearse, she could at least properly warm up her voice. I'm going on a rant. Let me stop lol. (Wednesday 8 November 2023; 17:42)

Jimmy Kimmel (103,989) by Andrew from the UK Yes, your sentiment is accurate: 1994 Mariah Carey has done extremely well with her Christmas Album and its lead track. This incarnation of Mariah Carey... not so much. (Wednesday 8 November 2023; 12:02) this is a reply to message 103,988

Jimmy Kimmel (103,988) by Nikki from usa Interesting talk coming from a Madonna fan. Perhaps we should go over her appearance and never ending face warp while she tries to relive her youth on stage and does the same things she's done for the past 40 years? But, hey, Mariah's only had an annual hit over the past 5 years, a hit Christmas movie special that went #1 in 100 countries, and old songs so good that they went viral after newbies heard them. What does she know about sales? (Wednesday 8 November 2023; 06:55)

Usher and Superbowl performance (103,982) by Andrew from the UK Another prediction based upon desire and not much else. Sweet sweet fantasy. (Tuesday 7 November 2023; 20:09) this is a reply to message 103,981

Usher and Superbowl performance (103,981) by Robert-Anthony from United States Usher was interviewed on the Today show and he said that MC could make it on his list of performers to join him at his Superbowl Half-time show. There is good a chance that MC may be on his new Coming Home album dropping the same day as his Superbowl Half-time performance. There was a rumour this past summer that he had recorded a duet with a popular R&B diva. Also, he signed a new record deal with Epic-gamma under his independent label mega with L.A. Reid, who is the executive producer on the album. (Tuesday 7 November 2023; 13:47)

Mariah, please be ready (103,978) by Andrew from the UK Surely you must know that Mariah will - almost undoubtedly - stand motionless front-centre stage for the entirety of the show and lipsync 95% of it? I'm not berating her for it (or, perhaps, I am?) but just stating it as it is. This goes to most recent posts, including the Kimmel so-called "interview", performances and promos. Would that I completely understood modern days audiences I would be wildly rich, but suffice is to say that music and musicianship wildly diverged from what it was in the nineties and noughties - in that *authenticity* became key. People nowadays connect with singers and musicians who appear down-to-Earth and (dare I say it) "real". Does Taylor Swift sell tickets and albums by the bucketload because she's a great singer or songwriter? I'd venture that's a part of it. But another part of it is her relatability. People connect with her. I feel like I connect with her. I feel that were I to bump into her in a pub in London we would have a pint together. I see Mariah on Jimmy Kimmel and I hang my head in pity at what she has allowed herself to become. It is an obnoxious characature of what a "big star" is. It screams delusion. It screams obliviousness. It screams desperation. Mariah will stand still on that bloody Christmas stage in the belief that it is *more* important to look good than to sound good or to move about the stage or to entertain. That's all the matters to her now. Looking good. And, well, does she? *Does* she? I thought she looked bloody awful - literally like someone threw a jacket over her before she walked onto the set in an attempt to save her dignity. And if there's an argument to disprove this any of this, or any reasonably pitch to advance an opposing argument, I'd love to hear it. I'm all ears.

Mariah, please be ready (103,977) by Brandon from USA Mariah, please be prepared for your upcoming Christmas shows. Please do not step on that stage looking and acting as if you are under rehearsed and don't know what to do on stage because we can tell when [you] aren't ready (which seems to be the norm unfortunately). Please be professional and have your voice ready. And make sure your pre-recorded vocals match what you can do live. We hate a rough transition from live to pre-recorded.

What if Glitter was released on Columbia Records (103,974) by Andrew from the UK Ah, so Glitter is this hour's topic? (Monday 6 November 2023; 12:01) this is a reply to message 103,970

What if Glitter was released on Columbia Records (103,970) by Robert-Anthony from United States Let's just say MC's relationship with Sony didn't deteriorate until 2001. Rainbow was released without all of the label turmoil. Thus, leading the way for Sony to pour all of their money into the Glitter movie and soundtrack. Tommy was playing fair and nice to MC. The Loverboy Firecracker sample was released making the Glitter soundtrack bigger than Daydream in terms of album sales. The Grammys committee finally recognized MC for her amazing artistry. Grammys and multiple other awards were awarded to MC for her 2nd biggest album behind Music Box. Would this premise awarded us to have never heard Charmbraclet [sic]? Could MC's vocals on TEOM had been better because she would have never recorded Charmbraclet [sic]? Charmbraclet i[sic] s probably an album that possibly damaged MC's voice. Just me talking to a young friend who never listened to Glitter. He just remembers TEOM and the WBT radio phenomenon. (Monday 6 November 2023; 00:26)

Jimmy Kimmel (103,973) by Andrew from the UK Brandon, how could you not like that interview? Don't you find Mariah talking about lighting interesting? Not even about being late? Not "doing" time? Her "bad" side? Don't you like Mariah looking like she fell asleep in a giant make-up bag? You don't like her being dressed like someone threw a jacket over a hooker to preserve some dignity? Somebody ought to do a montage of just how many times Mariah has said or done all of this shite in interviews to maybe impress upon her that it's maybe something to do with her own behaviour that she can't sell records or tickets the the general public anymore. (Monday 6 November 2023; 12:00) this is a reply to message 103,954

Jimmy Kimmel (103,954) by Brandon from USA She definitely looked beautiful. Call me Negative Nancy but the interview was all fluff. If [you] didn't see the interview, you didn't really miss anything because nothing of substance was talked about. Very little talk about her upcoming shows, no new project news but plenty of talk about prank calls and lighting (insert eye roll). (Friday 3 November 2023; 15:50)

First Cheech, then Chong, now the Chin (103,972) by Andrew from the UK "Can you sing?"

First Cheech, then Chong, now the Chin (103,965) by JR from United States What is wrong with you? Why are [you] so focused on her body and face? You call yourself a lamb, yet you have very strong opinions on someone else's body and voice? Can [you] sing? Didn't think so. Can't we just enjoy the music and let her be? (Sunday 5 November 2023; 17:55)

First Cheech, then Chong, now the Chin (103,961) by Andrew from the UK An expressed thought about *nearly but not* doing something about expressed thoughts. What goes unexpressed? (Saturday 4 November 2023; 13:21) this is a reply to message 103,958

First Cheech, then Chong, now the Chin (103,958) by Robert-Anthony from United States And I am criticized for my so called outlandish and expressed thoughts. I almost took a break from the board two weeks ago for being criticized for my expressed thoughts. However, I decided to Carey on because I was going miss you guys. Plus, the sweet apple is becoming ripe with every post. (Saturday 4 November 2023; 02:19)

First Cheech, then Chong, now the Chin (103,947) by Andrew from the UK I put it to you: Fact Parte the First: Mariah has spent years silently, without ceremony, repositioning her head on her neck almost every time a camera is aimed in her direction. We know her head is not aligned correctly with the centre of the Earth because the other people in the photo, the buildings in the photo and Mariah's own body upon which the head sits in the photo, are all pointed in the same direction - that is to say, to the centre of the Earth. We know that Mariah does this because she has - or had - a much larger, fattier face than previously known, and. in doing said little-teapot-short-and-stout act, she is stretching the skin to reduce the fat effect. For Heaven forfend Mariah not look perfect all the live long day. Fact Parte the Second: Mariah's face has become noticeably thinner with less weight around the jawline and neck this year - at a much more appareent accelerated rate than her body (which is still rather curvy). Fact Parte the Third: Mariah does a little hand wave with the bridge of her hand pressed against her chin. Those of us who have a grip on reality will have seen over the years tha Mariah does not start new body movements unless they are covering something up she does not want people to see. Please the court, I wish to read the charges: Mariah Carey has had more cosmetic surgery - Mariah Carey has had a chin lift. What say you? (Friday 3 November 2023; 01:02)

7 songs one billion streams (103,919) by Andrew from the UK I often wondered why she seemed to completely pay Daydream dust once the touring was over. I arrived to the conclusion that Butterfly was actually borne out of the ashes of the Never-Were-Grammy's for Daydream. That is to say: I believe the conversation, or the statement she gave Tommy and Columbia Records was something along the lines of the following: "I made the perfect pop/R&B crossover album, with Daydream, I practically ruled Billboard for a year with it, got three No.1 singles out of it, put Old Dirty Bastard at No.1 on a pop record, revolutionized the Middle8 rapper segment - and what did the industry do to me? It put me on a television camera for three hours whilst they kept giving me the middle finger and I had to sit there and take it. Well I'm done with them. I'm not doing another Daydream: I'm doing something completely new." And in that the concept of Butterfly was born and Daydream was buried for a decade or so.

7 songs one billion streams (103,902) by Edward from USA I hadn't really pay much attention, but Mariah really doesn't seem to care much about Daydream. She acts as if it doesn't exist. She very rarely even mentions it. Daydream is very special to me because it's the album that drew me back to her after listening to Open Arms. I think she got so invested in it that her losing all her Grammy nominations made her block it out. (Saturday 28 October 2023; 19:22)

7 songs one billion streams (103,901) by Andrew from the UK I am genuinely shocked Fantasy never gets the audience it deserves. Everyone loves it. I think it may have something to do with Mariah literally ignoring it for 20 years. (Saturday 28 October 2023; 07:21) this is a reply to message 103,898

7 songs one billion streams (103,898) by jaker20 from US Mariah now has 7: AIWFCIY, WBT, I Know What You Want, Always Be My Baby, When You Believe, Without You, and Hero. Obsessed is almost there, as well as Christmas Baby Please Come Home, and surely Fantasy, Touch My Body, making it 11. Up there with Rihanna, Billie Eilish, Ariana and Taylor. She's the only pre-2000 female with this kind of streaming power. Talk about a catalog full of classics. (Friday 27 October 2023; 21:07)

Merry Christmas to you too (103,894) by Andrew from the UK I would think a 3rd release is better timed for MCH30 next year. Hopefully a release won't be called "Merry Christmas One And All". I think Merry Christmas III is a solid title. Merry Christmas III or Merry Christmas II You II. (Friday 27 October 2023; 15:55) this is a reply to message 103,892

Merry Christmas to you too (103,892) by Edward from USA Probably. I definitely think something's up. (Friday 27 October 2023; 15:01)

Merry Christmas to you too (103,891) by Andrew from the UK Well, Merry Christmas was released October 29 and Merry Christmas II You was released November 2. So Merry Christmas III must be out next week? (Friday 27 October 2023; 01:20) this is a reply to message 103,875

Merry Christmas to you too (103,875) by Edward from USA I'm definitely down for a third Christmas album, but it should only contain new music. I don't want any new rework from past albums. I have the feeling the "theme album" she was talking about is a Christmas album, and it might be coming out soon. (Wednesday 25 October 2023; 21:58)

On the subjects of tours (103,870) by Andrew from the UK As wrong or weird in almost everything you've ever said, as you are - you are correct in one thing: if Sam Smith were not obese and unattractive I may just appreciate a performance he puts on. But he is obese and unattractive and puts on vulgar performances viewed by minors and I don't like it. In fact, many people don't like it. If he puts himself out there doing it - people are going to voice opinions on it. Being so-called "queer" does not make absolve you of responsibility over your actions. So your ad hominem attacks won't work with me. What does work is exercise, so hop to it, now, sweetheart: you're not in the Fitness Protection Programme. Keep running from the Carbs.

On the subjects of tours (103,867) by Libra Lamb from USA I bet if Sam Smith was muscular and attractive to you, you wouldn't mind him sweating up a storm on stage. I bet it's the fat phobia that's getting to you more than the gender identity issue. You are an onion Andrew, with lots of layers, just not good ones. I usually just scroll past your posts but since you felt the need to jump in for your online friend and I will always stand up for the queer community when getting attacked here we are. I know treating others the way you'd like to be treated is not a concept you can live by, that's why you keep getting banned from here. But go off with your self righteousness. You're killing it. (Wednesday 25 October 2023; 15:07)

On the subjects of tours (103,869) by Andrew from the UK "Like I said, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, no matter how ignorant it may be." But that's *not* what you said: you told Edward that his opinion on something being "crap" was not valid, you called him "ignorant" for it and told him to "mind his own business" - that is to say: to *not* voice his opinion on it. So, your position is that he is entitled to an opinion but if it conflicts with your own, he should not voice it. And if someone does voice an opinion which you not like, you are free to hurl insults. But not the other way around. (Wednesday 25 October 2023; 16:25) this is a reply to message 103,866

On the subjects of tours (103,866) by Libra Lamb from USA Misery loves company, and there's no one more miserable than poor Andrew and his commitment to conflict and negativity. Like I said, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, no matter how ignorant it may be. (Wednesday 25 October 2023; 15:01)

On the subjects of tours (103,864) by Andrew from the UK Sam Smith has embarrassed himself with ridiculous and disgusting stage performances. I don't know anyone who wants to see an obese, sweaty, unattractive man on stage acting like it's daring - and not vulgar - to behave the way he does. It was daring 30 years ago, today it's just pathetic. Madonna take note. The two of them trying to reclaim the word "vulgar" amplifies the patheticness of it all. They both look desperate and somewhat oblivious - a bit like Miley "Yeah we do what we want cos we, like, do what want" Cyrus. I don't know anybody - anybody - who does not think that Sam Smith and Madonna are desperate has-beens. Mariah is often called a has-been but the Christmas defrost keeps her quite relevant. Whilst thinking on this I realise that Mariah x Christmas is something I should fully support. Thus I call again for a third Christmas album - perhaps a Christmas duets album. As for his "gender identity" Sam Smith is free to declare what his pronouns are - just as Edward is free to declare that he is not going to use them when referencing him. Gender Theory like Race Theory can be used as attempts to control language, thus controlling education and the minds of the young. You are free to believe in it, just as most people, who refuse to flatly deny observable reality, will not. (Wednesday 25 October 2023; 11:29) this is a reply to message 103,861

On the subjects of tours (103,861) by Libra Lamb from USA How insecure does someone have to be to diminish and discount a complete stranger's gender identity? If you don't understand it, it's okay to say that. But you are nobody to to call it "crap". How about treating others the way you'd like to be treated instead? Seriously, it's so damn ignorant. Mind your own business and be glad that your gender identity is not being attacked by complete strangers. Is it that hard to respect everyone even if you don't understand their gender? (Wednesday 25 October 2023; 03:04)

On the subjects of tours (103,857) by Andrew from the UK I just watched fan footage of Madonna at the Greenwich O2 with her "Celebration Tour". How obnoxious can you get? I know Madonna had made a career of carrying herself with a superior "smurf you" attitude - but that show is absolutely monolithic in its pretentiousness. I love Ray of Light, Confessions on a Dancefloor, and many random singles from her - she can write a pop song. But she lacks any kind of class, regardless of how much of an English accent she tries to put on. I do not need to see a 60year old woman kissing someone on stage as if this makes her "daring". Like Sam Smith, she's absolutely vulgar. At least Mariah had maintained a level of class (notwithstanding Stella-gate). (Monday 23 October 2023; 21:00)

Sweet Sweet Fantasy Tour (103,856) by Andrew from the UK Often imitated, never duplicated. It was as professional as a tour from her I had seen. And it visually quite great. Plus, the variety of songs from the discography of course better because it was late in the day. I remember Martyn asking my opinion at the time and I could only say that I didn't really care about the lipsync or the awkward transition because it was just like a big Mariah Carey nightclub. And Martyn liked it. Although he was a lad of very, er, questionable taste. What did you like about it? (Monday 23 October 2023; 20:53) this is a reply to message 103,855

Album with the young producers (103,851) by Robert-Anthony from United States I just wonder if this album with young producers that MC has been mentioning for 2 years now is an album where these young producers have reimagined some of her biggest hits R&B and Hip Hop hits. I could see London On DA Track, Pop&Oak, Tommy Brown, J White Did It, Lido, and Nova Wav on the album. (Sunday 22 October 2023; 22:55)

Black & White Hero (103,850) by Andrew from the UK Just rewatched Proctor's Theatre and a bit puzzled by the inclusing of the B&W clip of Mariah on stage singing Hero in what is clearly a professionally edited scene. Was this the original Hero video? Possibly canned by Tommy Mottola in favour of the real live-ish version? You would think surely that they would not have gone to all that trouble for a 30 second not-even-closer for the special. (Sunday 22 October 2023; 19:49)

Sweet Sweet Fantasy Tour (103,849) by Andrew from the UK That I literally had just posted that SSFT was the best show ever is what made me think you must be joking with your message. (Sunday 22 October 2023; 12:56) this is a reply to message 103,846

Sweet Sweet Fantasy Tour (103,846) by Brandon from USA No not joking. I loved the SSFT. One of her better shows IMO. She brought back Loverboy, WYB, AAO, etc. [You] disagree? (Saturday 21 October 2023; 22:53)

Sweet Sweet Fantasy Tour (103,843) by Andrew from the UK Are you joking? (Saturday 21 October 2023; 20:27) this is a reply to message 103,831

Sweet Sweet Fantasy Tour (103,831) by Brandon from USA Anyone else misses the Sweet Sweet Fantasy Tour? I feel like that was one of her better tours, from the choreography, the outfits, her renewed confidence to her amazing voice. I wish she would've kept going in that direction of performing and entertaining. Anyone else feel the same way? (Saturday 21 October 2023; 03:47)
