About Tijl from Belgium: Enchanted by Mariah ever since 'Butterfly' dem Gucci heels in the pool!!!

Re: If septic tanks could sing (89,643) (89,658) by Tijl from Belgium Andrew, you are so right. This must Madonna's "Glitter moment". A major end to a big career. It was atrocious and very sad. (Sunday 19 May 2019; 21:58)

Re: First Mariah item (89,648) (89,657) by Tijl from Belgium Butterfly album in 1997. Hooked for weeks. Still feel the same emotions from back then when I hear "The Roof". (Sunday 19 May 2019; 21:55)

Re: New start (89,604) (89,612) by Tijl from Belgium My first memory was "Without You" which was a huge hit in Europe. That voice, that voice, that voice. (Friday 17 May 2019; 10:09)

Re: Please respect Madonna, avoid sexist comments (89,550) (89,558) by Tijl from Belgium You do have a point there but that is the way the world turns. It always has and always will. Maybe nowadays more than ever. One can be angry about but it is not going to change. (Saturday 11 May 2019; 10:13)

Re: Her thing is different (89,542) (89,543) by Tijl from Belgium The Butterfly era was very much on point. To me it is still her most poignant and profound album up to date. She looked fabulous, sexy yet classy. She was the pinnacle of the zeitgeist in those days. And the "Honey" video is still my all time favourite. Or perhaps my second favourite after "The Roof".

Re: State of her voice (89,501) (89,527) by Tijl from Belgium Well said. My best friend used to work as a tenor and he performed at the major European opera houses. He told me that throughout his entire career he never used alcohol, didn't smoke and hardly ever hit the town. Preserving one's voice requires a lot of discipline and vocal hygiene. Mariah has been on the bender ever since she left Mottola. This in combination with extensive travelling, doing interviews for hours in a row and not taking the proper amount of rest is a recipe for vocal decline. Of course, a career as an opera singer requires much less PR activities and public exposure than the life of an international superstar. (Thursday 9 May 2019; 10:17)

Re: Madonna's BBMA performance (89,524) (89,526) by Tijl from Belgium That dress was indeed an atrocity and she doesn't need that kind of outfit to look sexy. The BBMA ensemble was pure perfection. (Thursday 9 May 2019; 10:10)

Re: BBMAs 2019 (89,473) (89,474) by Tijl from Belgium I agree. However I found Madonna's performance absolutely vulgar. I am so fed up with the S&M and religious references. She has played that card for way too long. If you take away all the dancers, the holographic crap and the sleazy dancing all you get is a very mediocre singer. Mariah looked absolutely classy (and yes, her sartorial choices aren't always the best) and she owned the stage and the room with every person in it. Madonna nagging on Twitter about how she should have received the Icon Award shows her true character. I never liked her as a person, once respected her as a pop star but the differences with a true iconic star like Mariah were never more blatant than on that evening. Noticed how Maluma looked at Mariah? Poor guy had to sing with the old bat lol. (Monday 6 May 2019; 17:33)

Iconic image (89,450) by Tijl from Belgium This passed by on FB. Our glorious queen. (Saturday 4 May 2019; 12:30)

Re: BBMA link (89,441) (89,443) by Tijl from Belgium This the best link for now. NBC takes down a lot of content. (Friday 3 May 2019; 17:03)

Goosebumps (89,431) by Tijl from Belgium That BBMA speech gave me the chills. I have watched it over ten times so far yet every time it gets to me. Very, very proud of MC. Madonna was laying on the stage, Mariah owned it. (Thursday 2 May 2019; 22:28)

Re: MC's Caution is so boring right now to me (89,359) (89,373) by Tijl from Belgium Like fine wine, it gets better in time. (Sunday 28 April 2019; 13:58)

Re: Iconic performance (89,142) (89,144) by Tijl from Belgium That would indeed be an iconic performance. Okay, who has Tanaka's number? (Friday 12 April 2019; 13:37)

Re: BBMA style (89,133) (89,140) by Tijl from Belgium I like the performance at the MTV Movie Awards in 2005. That was a great look on her. (Friday 12 April 2019; 09:44)

Billboard Award (89,105) by Tijl from Belgium I am very glad that Mariah will receive the Icon Award at the upcoming Billboard Awards. The recognition that is beyond due. (Thursday 11 April 2019; 15:45)

Re: Through The Rain, Hero, or Can't Take That Away (89,054) (89,061) by Tijl from Belgium Hello Randy. How do You feel about TAOLG? I always found great inspiration within this song's lyrics. Perhaps not as uplifting as the ones you mentioned but nevertheless with an empowering message. (Monday 8 April 2019; 15:09)

Re: MOAIA (88,907) (88,913) by Tijl from Belgium Bill, I do agree that "Obsessed" messes with the flow of the album but I liked how feisty MC was by directly shading M&Ms. (Saturday 30 March 2019; 15:39)

MOAIA (88,897) by Tijl from Belgium I just rediscovered the "Memoirs" album today after a long time of not giving it any attention. "Obsessed" remains fun and I will always love the video, it's just so tongue-in-cheeck. Furthermore Standing O, H.A.T.E.U. (especially the Jump Smokers remix) and Up Out My Face contain great lyric mastery from MC. (Friday 29 March 2019; 16:01)

Re: Vegas final show this leg 2/21/19 M&G (long) (88,575) (88,583) by Tijl from Belgium Your story is heartbreaking. Life is very strange that way; to give you a beautiful experience followed by sadness. Bless you. (Thursday 14 March 2019; 15:30)

Re: Michael Jackson (88,426) (88,434) by Tijl from Belgium What I don't understand why would a parent let their children engage in a friendship with an adult man and let them sleep in the same bedroom? (Saturday 9 March 2019; 17:18)

The witch is death (88,385) by Tijl from Belgium Stella is now called "Stella Stolper" and will get her arse kicked in court. All claims previously directed at Mariah seem to be Stella's product of misconduct. If you treat people cheap the bill will be double. (Friday 8 March 2019; 12:55)

Re: A No No video (88,377) (88,383) by Tijl from Belgium Disappointing. She looks freakin' incredible but this is the result of a four day shoot? Or should we be expecting some surprises the coming days? (Friday 8 March 2019; 11:12)

Re: Article: 5 Songs by Mariah Carey that should've hit #1 (88,055) (88,068) by Tijl from Belgium Shake It Off got beaten to the #1 spot because We Belong Together was still in that position. (Saturday 16 February 2019; 10:33)

Re: Mariah / Super Bowl (87,938) (87,948) by Tijl from Belgium "She needs to wear pants, lower shoes to be able to move around the stage freely and without hand holding, and have massive Diva's Live hair circa 1998." Do you want to see Mariah at the Super Bowl or somebody imitating her? Mariah is the queen diva and that is how she will present herself. Don't people realize she is just playing up to that image and not even taking it that seriously herself? (Thursday 7 February 2019; 10:26)

Caution tour (87,880) by Tijl from Belgium It seems the Caution tour wil get a European leg. A first date in Paris was announced yesterday. Hopefully more dates will be confirmed shortly. (Monday 4 February 2019; 14:26)
