Re: A No No remix fake news (88,169) (88,172) by Edward from USA "With You" is a slow burner. It'll hit #1 very soon in 2039. You're so mean, so mean. (Saturday 23 February 2019; 22:53)

Re: A No No remix fake news (88,169) (88,171) by B from USA Didn't say it was. All I said was it would be delusional to think it's gotten to where it's at without Epic promoting it. (Saturday 23 February 2019; 22:05)

Re: A No No over (88,159) (88,170) by jaker20 from US She can't go adult contemporary route, its vocally demanding. Caution is perfect route, clubby and remixes with occasionally good vocals and great beats, mix of mid-tempos and a few ballads here and there. The album is not the problem. The problem is she doesn't know how to promote it. She gives up easily. Videos aren't that expensive to make anymore. Lots of videos blow up because it has a good concept shot on cheap handheld cameras. She needs a good team that is in tune with the current market. Her album cannot go top to bottom adult contemporary or her voice will be completely gone in a few years that even midtempos won't be available to her anymore. She needs to think long term. I know she can still get a hit. The right formula just have to be there. Mariah is an artist not a business woman. No one can do both. Of course she has knowledge in promotion and the business part for sure, but that's not her forte. Ariana Grande isn't blowing up now because of her own effort. Her current single has a dozen writers on it for crying out loud. But that is important. Other artists want to participate in the process and you have to let them, whatever your legend status in the business is. Same with the business part of it. (Saturday 23 February 2019; 21:47)

Re: A No No remix fake news (88,168) (88,169) by Bill from the UK Stop trying to make With You happen. It's not going to happen. (Saturday 23 February 2019; 21:30)

Re: A No No remix fake news (88,133) (88,168) by B from USA Epic has promoted and is continuing to promote With You at Adult Contemporary and Adult R&B radio. I'd love to believe the song is doing as well as it is without any promotion but that would be delusional. (Saturday 23 February 2019; 17:09)

Caution World Tour (88,167) by B from USA USA Today highlighted the start of Mariah's tour as a highlight of the week. (Saturday 23 February 2019; 17:00)

Re: Live ad libs (88,162) (88,166) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway Haha. No, I do exactly the same. And when I'm with friends that I feel comfortable with, or with boyfriends I have got I in the past, I always run through the things Mariah says before and between songs. And I have particularly become a master of the things she says in the MSG concert. I always say at out loud when I'm home by myself. When I went to high school, 1999-2002, just after the Glitter release, which I loved, and since I only became a fan in 1998, I don't think I really understood what down fall Glitter was, so I listened to it without a care in the world, I went on a car trip from Norway to Denmark with my boyfriend's brother. We were going to visit my boyfriend who lived in Denmark at the time. I brought Butterfly, Heartbreaker, #1's, and Glitter with me in the car. The brother is a musical conductor, so he didn't mind, I think he actually enjoyed it, and I sang along to every tune. The brother said sometime after we had gotten to Denmark that he was impressed that I sang the song exactly like Mariah, haha. (Saturday 23 February 2019; 10:43)

Re: A No No over (88,161) (88,165) by B from USA I guess she's a rising star in Great Britain. Maybe Epic and Roc Nation are releasing a version featuring her for the European market. If so it would be a smart move. (Saturday 23 February 2019; 05:04)

Re: Live ad libs (88,162) (88,164) by Dove from United States I know the 2015 Jamaica concert backwards and front: "Prayed through the night. With you sometimes - didn't I Maryann?" (Friday 22 February 2019; 23:52)

Re: Live ad libs (88,162) (88,163) by B from USA No, you're not alone. On a somewhat simikiar note, when I hear Journey's Open Arms I sing it like Mariah sang it. Actually, I do that with every song she's covered, lol. (Friday 22 February 2019; 21:45)

Live ad libs (88,162) by Bill from the UK Great to see the Make It Happen performance at MSG get the recognition it so richly deserves. Am I alone in adding Mariah ad libs to songs when listening to the studio versions? For instance does anyone else add in a "if you know it, sing along with me" during the second chorus of Can't Let Go, or a "sing" (exclamation mark) after the "I'll be eternally grateful" in the last verse of Vision of Love? I ask because when Make It Happen begins and the beat starts building up, I always run through Mariah's "reaching for a dream" speech from MSG. Just me? Okay then lol.

Re: A No No over (88,159) (88,161) by B from USA Mariah doesn't make real music? On another note, why believe what some d-lister says? (Friday 22 February 2019; 17:54)

Re: A No No over (88,159) (88,160) by Susana from USA I agree. (Friday 22 February 2019; 16:48)

A No No over (88,159) by T from USA Some D-list rapper posted an instagram story in the studio saying they are on the A No No remix. It's another YG (I Don't) moment unfortunately. I would much rather just the album version at this point. Why Mariah? Has your stock fallen this low? Serious thought: I really hope this is the last album/era that she's marketed in the vein of Beyonce. She needs to start going down the Adult Contemporary route. I mean she will be 49 soon, then 50. Time to work with real musicians and make real music again, while you still have your voice. (Friday 22 February 2019; 15:41)

Boston show rescheduled (88,158) by SM from Citizen of the World For any lambs going to the Boston show that was originally scheduled for March 28, now shows a new date for April 2 on Ticketmaster. (Friday 22 February 2019; 13:56)

Re: Mr. Smollett (88,155) (88,157) by RibbonB from USA It's a whole mess and a media distraction right now, especially with news about Trump, Epstein and Acosta playing simultaneously, but almost obscured by faked news. (Friday 22 February 2019; 13:47)

Re: Mr. Smollett (88,150) (88,156) by Bobby A from United States Lol. Payment with a check and it was back dated. I remember Ryan Locte lied some years back that he was attacked and he got off with no jail time. Mark Geragos is his attorney. So, Jussie will get no jail time, but written off Empire. His career is over. Who is going to ever believe him again and his acting ability? (Friday 22 February 2019; 04:55)

Re: Mr. Smollett (88,150) (88,155) by B from USA I refuse to believe he staged a hate crime for a pay raise. How would staging an attack secure him a raise exactly? I hope he's innocent but at this point who knows. (Friday 22 February 2019; 04:00)

The Butterfly Returns (88,154) by B from USA More epic vocals from Mariah. Her voice is in fine form and she's going to slay the Caution tour. Check out @kindaiconiic's tweet. (Friday 22 February 2019; 03:57)

Re: A No No remix fake news (88,143) (88,153) by Hector from Mexico I hope Mariah performs only songs she can replicate well live. I hate to listen to her new renditions of her classics when she doesn't do justice to them anymore. It's just sad. (Friday 22 February 2019; 02:17)

Re: A No Cardi no (88,146) (88,152) by SM from Citizen of the World March can't come soon enough. Hopefully something leaks before, so we all know if it's a real remix lol. (Friday 22 February 2019; 01:55)

Re: My absolute favorite Mariah song (88,141) (88,151) by Hector from Mexico That's correct. (Friday 22 February 2019; 01:43)

Re: Mr. Smollett (88,148) (88,150) by RibbonB from USA The case with Jussie is weird and always has been. It's sounded strange to begin with, so I didn't comment. I think there may yet be more twists and turns. He is innocent until proven guilty. The bizarre thing is who would pay for a crime with a check? I can't wait to see law and order SVU do a take on this incident (Friday 22 February 2019; 00:07)

Re: Mr. Smollett (88,148) (88,149) by MusicfanJ from Germany It's unbelievable. I also liked "Empire" and when I read about the "attack" I was really shocked. Who would think that it was all fake and his own idea to get more money or fame with the press? Well never trust an actor. Honestly it's like a bad movie. What a fake and ill person Mr. Smollett seems to be. I'm sure he has got enough money, I hope he loose all his supporters and tv-appearances. He should spend the money for true victims. (Thursday 21 February 2019; 22:58)

Mr. Smollett (88,148) by Matty from Vancouver Canada Now that Jessie Smollett was arrested today for staging his own attack and sending himself that note to help him negotiate a higher salary on Empire; do you think Mariah and other celebs will take down their social media posts of support? I'm a massive Empire fan, and totally loved Jessie (right down to his leaked nudes online lol), but no. Wow. I can't know what to say. Disgusting and embarrassing for anyone who was his fan or supporter. I wonder what Lee Daniels thinks? Do you think he's a sociopath? This case is shocking. Guess he got to check off opening for Mariah from his Hollywood bucket list, before it all comes crashing down. (Thursday 21 February 2019; 21:32)
