Re: Cool On You (96,177) (96,181) by Bobby A from United States Mine too. Doesn't she say something similar in Heat? (Wednesday 14 October 2020; 02:59)

Re: End of the affair (96,170) (96,180) by Andrew from the United Kingdom You are not the first and, I would suggest, certainly won't be the last to give up on Mariah due to that seemingly disingenuous book. (Wednesday 14 October 2020; 02:06)

Re: Not that it matters (96,169) (96,179) by RibbonB from USA She said previously that they thought he was Cuban, then it was determined Venezuelan. The book indicates he wasn't around, so there is no familiarity or real details about him. (Wednesday 14 October 2020; 01:59)

Streaming is the new rule (96,178) by Lara from Middle East Found this on insta. We cannot count on the sales to make a prediction on the Billboard. (Wednesday 14 October 2020; 01:42)

Cool On You (96,177) by Nicky from Jasmine's Sofa "You get the heave-hooo." New favorite line. (Wednesday 14 October 2020; 00:48)

Re: Article: Mariah opens up about New Year's Eve meltdown (96,161) (96,176) by Geronimo from USA I believe I just replied to you by mistake rather than to Andrew. (Wednesday 14 October 2020; 00:47)

Re: The duets (96,152) (96,175) by T from USA This is a great idea. It could be two disc with the second disc being duets from the past (to give it the credibility of some big hits). Disc 2 1. I'll Be There (Trey) 2. Endless Love (Luther) 3. One Sweet Day (Boyz II Men) 4. Beautiful Ones (Dru Hill) 5. When You Believe (Whitney Houston) 6. How Much (Usher) 7. Against All Odds (Westlife) 8. Thank God I Found You (Joe/98) 9. Want You (Eric Bennett) 10. Yours (Justin Timberlake) 11. Angels Cry (Neyo) 12. It's a Wrap (ft. Mary J Blige) 13. #Beautiful (Miguel) 14. You're Mine (ft. Trey Songz) (Wednesday 14 October 2020; 00:46)

Re: All I Want For Christmas Is You (96,159) (96,174) by Geronimo from USA Andrew, you are too uninformed about the history of U.S. American race ideology to discuss it without producing a strong resemblance to a poorly closeted racist. Black people do not "use" the one drop rule. The one drop rule, as such, cannot be separated from the economic, social, and legal penalties that the rule was created to enforce against United States citizens. Those Afro-Americans who were brave and healthy enough to chose not to hide their heritage when many others chose to benefit by "passing" into whiteness through deception, isolation, fraud, and other means, have set a distinct pattern for today's Afro-Americans who identify with those with whom we share a heritage. Their honesty and clarity about the moral bankruptcy of so-called "white civilization" formed aspects of a new culture in this hemisphere of which Mariah and her father's side of the family is one part. Saying that she or any Black person is using the one drop rule performs an act of profound ignorance in light of the fact that the "use" of the rule is inextricable from the power to apply economic and legal penalties against people with known African heritage. And, no - describing the history of the rule and discussing how that history applies to oneself is not the same as "using the one drop rule" any more than registering with an Indian tribe means that the person who does so is affirming the concept of blood quantum. But why do you keep playing at calling Mariah "There's Got to Be a Way" Carey a racist? She's so Pollyanna. You seem to have a real problem with Black people who discuss the complications related to dealing with centuries of white people getting away with subjecting the planet's peoples to racist non-sense. You and your ilk on this board really should educate yourselves if you can. (Wednesday 14 October 2020; 00:44)

Re: Hopes for Glitter EPs (96,163) (96,173) by Will from England I would love it for There for Me to be included, since it was a B-side to the NTF/Hero single? (Wednesday 14 October 2020; 00:33)

"The Rarities" is #31 on Billboard 200 (96,172) by The Real Deal from USA "The Rarities" debuted at #31 on Billboard 200. I expected a much higher debut. I thought at least Top 20 with all of the promotion she has been doing it for it. Maybe the book overshadowed the album. (Tuesday 13 October 2020; 23:31)

Re: Celine Dion (96,164) (96,171) by Will from Australia I've always enjoyed her voice but not so much her ego. On Andy Cohen she spoke about that night and stepping forward for her part with Aretha to go "Toe To Toe" with her. She then talks about 'that note' in All By Myself and how David Foster said if she couldn't reach it there where other singers he could get who could - her reaction is vom. I always thought this was her shading Mariah but I later found out through David Foster that it was actually Whitney he was referring to. Sit down Celine. (Tuesday 13 October 2020; 22:42)

End of the affair (96,170) by Mutton Dressed as Lamb from UK I have run out of excuses for her behaviour, the state of her voice, the obvious lack of self awareness or insight into her own self induced calamities. The memoir feels disingenuous. A faded starlet that tailored her life story to capitalise on the current societal feelings of racial inequality. I guess being from the UK does affect my perception. I'd be a fool to say that racism does exist here, but race isn't woven into every aspect of our daily lives and I am willing to accept that I don't understand her situation because of this. What I do understand is people and behaviour and the memoir gives an insight into a person that is petty, jealous and struggles with self loathing on a daily basis. Given an opportunity to make a real difference to society as a whole by talking about her mental health issues, she chose to cause more division instead of enabling healing. I ask the webmaster to post this and then delete me from the board. I used to love this woman and would fight her corner even when I knew I was on to a loser, but now... now, I don't know her. (Tuesday 13 October 2020; 22:05)

Not that it matters (96,169) by J from USA But anybody find it weird how Mariah no longer speaks on her dad's Venezuelan side? It was always known he was Afro-Venezuelan and as of lately it's just he was African American, which he was, don't get me wrong. But back in the 90s she would say he had Venezuelan ancestry, and if memory serves me right she was on a show in Venezuela looking for some long lost family of her father's.

Lovecraft Country (96,168) by RibbonB from USA Licia, everyone, anyone else into this fabulous series? Wow, please watch this past Sunday's episode 9. So timely, sad, creatively done in homage to the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa massacre. This episode was so good and harrowing, that the show composer even wrote an original requiem piece for the final fire scene. So moving. The final episode if the season is next Sunday, please binge all week and watch. it is horror though, but so well done. I love how they incorporated modern music like Bodak Yellow and Rihanna's Bitch Better Have my Money, into this period show. This show and its exploration or racism and horror is definitely more important than somebody's imagined slight at Celine. This country, world has more serious concerns.

Re: Carole King (96,162) (96,167) by Stacey from USA Shoot if anyone should be upset it's Carole King. She wrote the dang song and could hardly get a word in. Truth. (Tuesday 13 October 2020; 18:53)

Re: Trash (96,154) (96,166) by Stacey from USA "If you want the truth without the sugar coating than why get upset when it's given to you straight?" Funny, I could ask you the same question, lol. But I digress. Chill. I'm not upset. If some faceless person over the internet that disagrees with me gets me upset, then I've got problems. Thankfully I'm not upset. So I'm good. Carey on and oh, lighten up. (Tuesday 13 October 2020; 18:50)

Re: Allure (96,150) (96,165) by RibbonB from USA Wow, based on all the hashtags on their IG post, they really want to be recognized. Too bad, because it probably won't help. I'm more surprised she didn't mention Jasmine Dotiwala, but she didn't want to tell those stories about Betcha Gon ' Know, lol. You can't put everything and everybody in a book though. She could've "killed two birds ", by including lots of pictures of moments with descriptors as a fast way to acknowledge people. I strongly feel she was stingy on the pictures. (Tuesday 13 October 2020; 17:26)

Celine Dion (96,164) by Andrew from the United Kingdom Interesting. Celine Dion being asked about singing with Aretha, showing humility and love. And speaking excitedly about grasping her chance to sing with her. (Tuesday 13 October 2020; 16:52)

Hopes for Glitter EPs (96,163) by Bill from the UK Hi all. I am hoping Mariah treats us to some Glitter Remix Eps for MC30 - I'm unsure exactly if Mariah buying the rights for Glitter extended out to the remixes. Here's hoping it did, as there was a large serving for Loverboy, some of which (the club mixes) were particularly well done. Loverboy 1. Candy Version 2. Candy Version Instrumental* 3. Firecracker Version 4. Remix 5. Remix Instrumental* 6. MJ Cole Remix 7. MJ Cole Radio Edit 8. MJ Cole London Dub 9. MJ Cole Instrumental 10. Club of Love Remix 11. Club of Love Radio Edit 12. Dreamy Club of Love Radio Edit 13. Dub of Love Remix 14. Drums of Love 15. David Morales Radio Club Mix [P] 16. David Morales Alternative Radio Mix [P] Going by previous releases, it's debatable as to whether the Instrumentals for the Candy and Remix versions will be included on the EP. I'm also highly doubtful as to whether the two Morales promo radio mixes will appear either, which would be a bit of a let-down, as they are hard to track down. Never Too Far 1. Edit 2. Never Too Far / Hero Medley 3. Never Too Far / Hero Medley (Extended Mix) [P] 4. Never Too Far / Hero Medley (Radio Mix) [P] 5. Never Too Far / Hero Medley (Radio Mix with Intro) [P] 6. Never Too Far / Hero Medley (Al. B Rich Inspiration Mix - Radio Edit) [P] 7. Never Too Far / Hero Medley (Al. B Rich Inspiration Mix - X-tended Mix) [P] 8. Never Too Far / Hero Medley (Mike Rizzo Extended Club Recall Mix) [P] 9. Never Too Far / Hero Medley (Mike Rizzo Radio Recall Mix) [P] I'm really hopeful these all appear. The Medley is beautiful, and the remixes were great, especially the Rich Inspiration versions. They are hard to find as well so it would great to see them for streaming and purchase finally. Don't Stop 1. Radio Edit 2. Instrumental Reflections 1. Radio Edit 2. Instrumental Last Night a DJ Saved My Life 1. Radio Edit 3:26 [P] 2. Radio Edit 4:16 Unlikely these will come on an EP package. The Radio Edit for Don't Stop simply removes some of Mystikal's profanities, whereas the Radio Edit for Reflections tidies up the overlap between All My Life, Reflections and Last Night a DJ Saved My Life from the album (the tracks segue together). The Radio Edits for Last Night I'm sceptical about. The first edit was a rare promo-only mix unique to one territory, and the second slightly longer edit appeared on that strange Reflections CD from the Far East which still may or may not be a bootleg. Instrumentals have been hit and miss as to whether they are released, so - unless a joint EP is made for these tracks, doubt we will see any of them unfortunately. (Tuesday 13 October 2020; 16:45)

Carole King (96,162) by Andrew from the United Kingdom Interesting. Carole King remarks how Aretha was singing over Celine and opines that Celine held her own and responded well with dignity. Even Randy Jackson was impressed. Yet, Mariah throws Celine under a bus 20 years later trying to rewrite history in her own favour. Unnecessary and undignified. (Tuesday 13 October 2020; 16:44)

Article: Mariah opens up about New Year's Eve meltdown (96,161) by Bill from the UK This article is a mix up between the Glitter exhaustion episode and the NYE performance. How did this get published lol. (Tuesday 13 October 2020; 16:31)

Re: The Rarities, Part 2 (96,155) (96,160) by Bobby A from United States I would love to have a better audio quality of DJ Tracy Young's remix of Fly Like A Bird. I have a low quality cassette version recorded from the internet before I had my Encore Technology CD Recorder system. Also, it would be a travesty if we never hear the Bobby Ross Avila track recorded in 2018. (Tuesday 13 October 2020; 16:19)

Re: All I Want For Christmas Is You (96,153) (96,159) by Edward from USA The Jimmy Fallon performance was definitely fun. It's good Mariah has warmed up to Ariana. She could help Mariah achieve her 20th #1. AIWFCIY will most likely hit #1 again this year. (Tuesday 13 October 2020; 13:26)

Re: Trash (96,128) (96,158) by Andrew from the United Kingdom Oops. More ridiculous nonsense fron the angry anti-white. The one-drop rule may historically have been used by racist non-black people in a derogatory way but it is, in modern times, used by black people also to "claim" people as black. So the poster was correct, also. You ought not to try to dress up your angry hatred of white people with clever tropes such as "educate yourself". Your entire existence is steeped in irony, sweetheart. (Tuesday 13 October 2020; 11:47)

Re: Trash (96,154) (96,157) by Andrew from the United Kingdom See. (Tuesday 13 October 2020; 11:43)
