About Edward from USA:

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)

Media whore? (75,448) by Edward from USA I don't quite understand why Mariah keeps trying with these fake relationships. I think that at some point Nick was buying into it, but kind of backed down. She used to be mysterious and elusive, now she's just like any other reality TV persona seeking media attention. She's known by the new generation but anything but music. It's sad. Then some people wonder why there's a disconnect between her fans and what she has become being the main act at Cirque Du Stella. Is anybody being real to Mariah, at all? (Saturday 20 May 2017; 20:50)

Re: Second favorite artists (75,379) (75,385) by Edward from USA 1. Eva Cassidy 2. George Michael 3. The Cranberries Andy, I've always defended your liking of "Right to Dream", I even gave it your name as a title (Andy's Theme). I can't believe you told me to shut up, Andrew is the one who should be nailed on the cross for that. (Saturday 20 May 2017; 01:11)

Re: Ages? (75,313) (75,384) by Edward from USA 36 and proud to have experienced the greatness of Mariah's music in the 90's, and beyond. Mimi L., you shouldn't post messages after 10pm., neither the other babies in here. (Saturday 20 May 2017; 01:06)

The ultimate Mariah Carey song poll (75,286) by Edward from USA Well, in terms of depth, lyrics, imagery, delivery, I would have to go with Butterfly. Butterfly is definitely no Vision of Love when it comes to vocal acrobatics, but it is way better when it comes to passion, lyrics, and soul. Butterfly is an epic song with an equally great video. I believe it to be lyrically comparable only to "Close My Eyes", "Petals" and "Outside". Mariah poured her soul into that song and successfully replicated the same sentiment in its accompanying video. There was not tits-touching, no vanity shots, not middle finger given, just pure soul pushed into the universe with an incomparable delivery. Yes, Butterfly even though it was sung in a semi whisper register is extremely difficult to sing, just like My All. Jessica Sanchez from American Idol matched Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" note by note, and she was praised by critics the day after left and right, but when Jennifer Lopez chose "My All" for her to sing, she struggled, had she had a synthetic wig that day, it would've fried on her head. Jennifer even said: "I didn't know it was that difficult/hard." I love me some Daydream, but Mariah really came alive on Butterfly. Oh how I miss those times when Mariah's lyrics were simple, yet poetic and deep. (Tuesday 16 May 2017; 19:07)

Re: The turd turbulence (75,231) (75,236) by Edward from USA Drew, that's never going to happen. Everything that goes on Mariah's World is due to some external forces working against her. You can read the Delulons here stating how she had to fire JD and Randy Jackson because they were responsible for the demise of MIAM and her American Idol fiasco respectively, and they state that as facts, as if they could produce any proof that it happened that way. LA Reid made a comment and all of a sudden everything he did for Mariah is done and forgotten, now he's the bad guy and partially guilty for Mariah's big balloons and cheek implants. Some even deny Mariah has done anything to her new Stella-look-alike face when it's effing clear the woman has been on Hollywood mode for quite sometime now. Yes, there are people working with Mariah that are definitely incompetent, but Mariah hired them. These leeches most of us talk about didn't just come out of nowhere, they were put in place by Ms. Carey. So, if Ms. Carey doesn't care about these leeches leeching on her, I say they should leech on her mercilessly. It's her money and even if Stella and posse leached 50 million from her, she'll still be OK. If there isn't any desire in Mariah for making good music as she's been showing with these mediocre singles and remixes, I think she should just retire and keep on doing reality TV, she's very good at it, and she doesn't have to sing. (Sunday 14 May 2017; 18:27)

Re: Sylvia Rhone (75,164) (75,169) by Edward from USA Since LA Reid was kind of too complacent with Mariah, I hope this new person light a fire on Mariah's ass so she could start being serious about her career and produce some great music, even if it's out of anger. She could deal with the anger taking some classes for management after the great success of the album. She's signed to a business, and they don't want to make a few coins every three or fours years. Waiting a hundred years to put music out with so many new acts coming left and right doesn't make sense, especially when your star is fading, just like what happened with everybody else. Nobody stays on top for ever. If Mariah were selling like in the 90's, a few years hiatus would be OK, but at this point in her career, she should be in the public eye, but not for perfumes and reality shoes, but for her music.

Re: LA is leaving Epic (75,155) (75,165) by Edward from USA Travon, nice seeing you around. I was just thinking about sending "Todd from Australia" to pay you a visit and make you post more often. I know that wigs, weaves, hats, fake boobs, and Sunday church dresses have been snatched here from time to time, but we're still here. Mimi L. even changed her continent, she used to be from Asia. Andrew has risen from the dead after all his many cyber-hangings and crucifixions. We have Stella posting as if she were from France, and then replying to herself with her other account where she's from Africa. See, everything is crazy, but we get along, sometimes. Lol.

Re: Songs you wish Mariah would do (75,127) (75,130) by Edward from USA Mariah is definitely a better singer over all, but Minnie was the only artist that could've given Mariah a run for her money on the whistle department. Her regular voice was just ok, but the woman could sustain and work those whistles like no other. I remember I used to believe Mariah was the only one who could hit whistle notes, until a friend played Minnie's "Memory Lane" for me, and I was like: wow. I know there are a few other artist who can hit those whistles and sustained them, but I haven't heard any of the enunciate while doing them, just Mariah. (Wednesday 10 May 2017; 22:00)

Re: Songs you wish Mariah would do (75,119) (75,126) by Edward from USA I've always imagined Mariah singing these songs: 1. Baby One More Time (Britney Spears) 2. Anaconda (Nicki Minaj) 3. Macarena (Los del Rio) 4. Honeymoon Avenue (Ariana Grande) 5. Shake Your Bom Bom (Ricki Martin) I think it would bring Mariah lots of new fans, and keep her relevant as she is. It's all about thinking outside the box. (Wednesday 10 May 2017; 18:24)

Re: Songs you don't like that are fan favourites (75,075) (75,082) by Edward from USA Drew, you're such a hater. Andy's Theme is a great song. You just miss reading his new posts, just say it. Lol. (Monday 8 May 2017; 23:16)

Re: Everything Fades Away (75,037) (75,042) by Edward from USA Special K, I hope you've been playing "When I Saw You" in a loop to balance things out internally. (Saturday 6 May 2017; 21:37)

10-Tracks album (75,026) by Edward from USA I would be happy if Mariah just released a 10-track album, but with no fillers. Quality usually trumps quantity, and I'm not talking about Donald here. MIAM is not as cohesive and as well produced as Emotions. Mariah's voice in MIAM is so engineered that sometimes it sounds piercing. And for a 10-track album, Emotions is great, considering MIAM has 14 regular tracks and 3 bonus tracks and about 8 of them combined are fillers. MIAM filler-free would look something like this: 01. Cry 02. Faded 03. Dedicated 04. #Beautiful 05. Make It Look Good 06. Desperate Mermaid (Poseidon cover them) 07. You Don't Know What To Do 08. Meteorite 09. Camouflage 10. The Art of Letting Go And none of those tracks, in terms of quality and production, can't touch "Emotions", "Make It Happen", "Can't Let Go", "If It's Over", "Till The End of Time" or "The Wind". (Saturday 6 May 2017; 02:51)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey to close out Baku race of Formula 1 (75,017) (75,020) by Edward from USA RibbonB, the "deluluness" is rampant. With Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum I thought we had enough here. (Saturday 6 May 2017; 01:05)

Re: Charm-girl, thanks (74,961) (74,965) by Edward from USA Licia, you've always been on point with your music recommendations. The only recommendation that was questionable coming from you was the one about the latest Christmas album from Alvin And The Chipmunks. (Thursday 4 May 2017; 01:26)

Charm-girl, thanks (74,952) by Edward from USA I love "Uptown Funk", but I wasn't ever drawn into Bruno's music. Since you said you liked the album and trusting your good taste, based on your love for Charmbracelet, lol, I purchased Bruno's 24K Magic and I'm pleasantly surprised. First, I was like: Only 9 tracks? Nah. Then I remembered that Music Box has only 10 tracks, and I clicked on "Place your order". After first listen I'm happy I decided to buy it. The album is great, very cohesive and well produced, I actually love it. Thanks. (Wednesday 3 May 2017; 21:49)

Mariah-Stella (74,876) by Edward from USA Mariah is definitely morphing into a desperate new version of Stella. Like Stella, Mariah's bloated, her face has gotten round full moon like Stella, her wigs are kind of questionable, her cheek implants look like Stella's. I just hope she doesn't get contoured like Stella, well she did when she revived Bianca. They say lovers end up acting, talking and looking alike. (Monday 1 May 2017; 00:46)
