Dangerous | three hating ass heauxs - they don't know the meaning of water nor soap (109,634) by Edward from USA
Salma Hayek is a very beautiful woman. Not even in her worst day she would look like those three hatin' ass hoes.

Album title (109,624) by Edward from USA
I was thinking about album titles and I had an epiphany. These would be great titles:
1. "16 Octaves, 12 High Notes and 0 Phucks to Give"
2. "I Don't Know Her (But this Album Knows All Your Secrets)"
3. "Reprimanded"
4. "Mermaid Tears, Butterfly Wings, and a Grammy I Deserved in 1996"

Heavy songs (109,611) by Edward from USA
Bobby A, holding up on revealing the album title actually builds anticipation. TD is pretty much a thing of the past now. The info we got was more than enough: the album's finished, it'll have 11-12 tracks, a new summery single is coming soon and we're getting at least one big ballad. Remember that gluttony and greed are two of the seven deadly sins.

New single soon (109,607) by Edward from USA
I always thought #Beautiful was a solid song, but it felt like it was missing something, maybe a bridge or a little extra punch. Now, the remix with Jeezy was imply great to me. That high note around the 3-minute mark? Pure heaven.

One Heart, One Voice (109,585) by Edward from USA
Eric is the webmaster, my dear. Proceed with extreme "Caution". The last person who crossed him woke up in Indiana with no memory of how they got there. Others, like Bobby A, weren’t so lucky, they came back with shorter names.

What are you complaining about? Eric was also reprimanded. Now I'm nervous, only Bobby A is safe.

Lullaby of Birdland* (109,538) by Edward from USA
Mariah stated herself that she never recorded LOB in the studio. While "The Art of Letting Go" was leaked as an upcoming album on some places like Walmart, it was just the name. There not any other leaks that mentioned LOB before she performed live.

Three voices, one problem (109,533) by Edward from USA
Lyrics got written, music was produced and then a demo was made. Barbra most likely recorded the entire song by herself. Then, the parts that Ariana and Mariah were meant to sing were stripped from the demo and sent for them to fill in the blanks. Of course the original demo was also sent to use as reference. Then, Walter later stitched it all together.

So no, these ladies were never in the studio at the same time. It's pretty standard these days and even easier with technology. Mariah prefers laying her vocals alone with her recording engineer. Ariana lays her vocals in a completely dark booth.

Could this be considered as a Mariah and Walter collabo? No, in my humble opinion. In 99% of their collabos, Mariah wrote the lyrics and had the melody in her head, then Walter would put that melody into music and produced it.

One Heart, One Voice (109,480) by Edward from USA
I'm pleasantly surprised, "One Heart, One Voice" is very smooth, their voices blend together well. Different from the "Yes, And?" fiasco, this collabo works. At 83, Barbra sounds amazing.

Less then 24 hours before we get to her "One Heart, One Love".

The music (109,468) by Edward from USA
Guys, it's 2025, enjoy the music. Chart positions don't define greatness anymore. Mariah had an unmatched prime, let's celebrate that. We're blessed to have experienced "The Voice" at its glory, and that's something truly special. Mariah's a one in a lifetime experience.

I don't know about y'all, but I feel lucky to have experienced her greatness. Most artists on the charts aren't even close to her level. Maybe it's the wine talking but I'm at peace with everything she's given us. It's been an incredible ride.

Remember that no matter how great, nobody stays at the top forever.

35 years in the game (109,434) by Edward from USA
Bobby A, unfortunately, Mariah has her age working against her in today's music scene. For something to really take off as per some people's expectations here, she would have to pull a "Believe" moment like Cher did. I personally like and appreciate what we've gotten so far, but "TD" is not that moment.

With short attention spans these days and everything being so instantly accessible, a song has to hit right away to make an impact. It's a different game now.

Being a legacy artist doesn't help much either. Radio rarely supports older artists, a song from them would have to be twice as great as the next one. There's no real formula for a hit, even great music can flop. At the end of the day, it all depends on whether the general public connects with it, especially the younger crowd who drive most of the streaming. The music needs to feel current and cool to them.

I've said it before, Mariah helped so many people when she was on top. It's time for a big name to return the favor and boost one of her projects. She deserves it.

35 years in the game (109,430) by Edward from USA
I see some of you are obsessing over chart positions. Remember that Gamma doesn't have a magic wand to make things happen. They can do their part, but remember that "Caution" was released seven years ago. It's not like she's been gaining tons of new fans since then.

Streaming is an indication of where things are going. The video for TD has been out for seven days and it is sitting at barely 1.7M views. The blaming game most of us like to play when things are not going as expected with Mariah is kind of getting tired now.

At this point, the only way TD gets a boost is if they drop a hot remix with a current artist. As I have stated, I like TD and I'm just hoping the album delivers something solid overall. But let's not pretend this is another "It's Like That".

Mariah's been in the game for 35 years, so I don't have unrealistic expectations. If she wants a real hit, she's gonna have to actually sing and come with something stronger. With that being said, I'm totally fine with what she's given us so far, song and video included.

Possible MC16 track (109,405) by Edward from USA
These days, it's pretty easy to keep songs and albums from leaking since everything drops on streaming first anyway. So if something shows up early online, chances are they wanted it to.

Summertime Ball (109,396) by Edward from USA
Wait, are you telling me RuPaul's Drag Race isn't about racing cars in drag? I've been watching the wrong show with a helmet on this whole time.

Capital's Summer Ball (109,391) by Edward from USA
One step at a time, don't push it. Mariah basically ran a marathon just walking that stage. She finally diversified the dance crew, even got herself a white guy and a couple of black hotties in the mix. Her midsection wasn't under siege for once, just squeezed into a corset that didn't make her look like she was battling demons. And let's not overlook the miracle: for the first time in years, she didn't look like she was squinting at a teleprompter or searching for her soul on the monitor. And now you expecting her to sing too? Ave María Purísima.

Comments (109,359) by Edward from USA
The comments are cracking me up. Many of them about the fact she walked that whole runway by herself. I love the performance, she definitely looked more alive.

Capital's Summer Ball (109,358) by Edward from USA
I don't think it's about confidence or the lack of it. Confidence alone doesn't magically produce a voice that's no longer there. At this point, it's clear she's not putting herself through that anymore. "The Voice" has always been the centerpiece, but as it's changed, her approach should too. I actually respect that she's working with whatever she has left, no more gimmicks, no wall of background vocals, no smoke and mirrors. Just as is. I think she should keep it simple and lean into the artistry that's still there. Like I said before, chart positions aren't the point anymore. What matters is the music. And right now, we've got a fresh single and a solid video, and that's good enough for me.

She walks. It's a miracle. She's probably been hiding from us since 2014.

Bill (109,303) by Edward from USA
Big mistake. Last person who called Bill handsome on this board got their face scratched off by Bobby A. We have a code around here, read carefully if you care about you face, everyone knows Bill's handsome, but we don't say it. One guy wouldn't stop, and, well... he moved to Indiana and we never heard from him again. I would suggest you get a helmet. I realized I said it twice in this post and I'm panicking.

Wow, good to see you posting again. You're definitely an OG. Last time you posted was 3.6 years ago. At least post twice a year or we'll go looking for you in Canada.
