Messageboard

Pandemic (93,300) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) This Coronavirus outbreak is very serious as the entire world is at a standstill. Personally our main goal should be staying safe at all costs. If we care about MC we should hope that she along with her loved ones are safe during this time. Anyone who is focusing on any new projects or touring is not concerned about her wellbeing, they are only concerned about their own selfish interests and to me that is not cool. Hopefully we can get back to our daily living soon, however until then everyone stay safe. (Monday 16 March 2020; 15:21)

Hilton (93,299) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Face it Walter and MC are no longer, and will never be again. Even if they were to reconnect who is to say that their chemistry would be the same? Also he was one of the people who did not want her sound to evolve from the AC pop balladeer princess. Thank God she followed her instincts because if she had not we would not have Butterfly, TEOM, or Caution all albums that took our MC in a new direction or updated her sound. I respect their work together but I am sure if they were working together today some fans would still find something to complain about. (Monday 16 March 2020; 15:04)

Re: Article: We rated the best ballads from each of Mariah's albums (93,297) (93,298) by T from USA If you want that MC needs to reconnect with Walter. (Monday 16 March 2020; 13:01)

Re: Article: We rated the best ballads from each of Mariah's albums (93,296) (93,297) by Bill from the UK Unfortunately ballads of the last 15 years have either been a WBT template paint by numbers affair, or a whispery, subdued rehash of Petals. If you want another Lead the Way or I Don't Wanna Cry or Till the End of Time or Never Forget You, MC needs to switch it up. (Monday 16 March 2020; 10:52)

Article: We rated the best ballads from each of Mariah's albums (93,296) by Lainsky from Philippines "Lead The Way" is simply beautiful, classic and a masterpiece. Too bad many people did not hear it for they just have written off Mariah that time. Still, I must say this is one of her best ballad. It is in my top three of all time. I just wish she will write and release something quite similar to this in her upcoming album that we all hope to be this year. (Monday 16 March 2020; 05:26)

Re: Never mentioned before (93,270) (93,295) by RibbonB from USA Too funny. I wish Mimi would just finally do an album of American standards. We all have lots of time on our hands during this time of social distsancing. (Monday 16 March 2020; 03:34)

Re: The pandemic (93,291) (93,294) by John from USA "Your suggestion that empathy is meaningless and that I must somehow go and save victims with my un-medically trained bare hands is morally vacant. You're an idiot lol." - said Andrew, a.k.a. 'Best Human Being Ever'. Oh. Was that a display of empathy? To virtually all of us here, it was another attempt to bring meaning to your meaningless life by picking fights where should not have been any. And are you even thinking that was meant to be in the literal sense? And, if you did take it seriously: are you saying only the medically-trained can help? What an idiot. I truly think that trolling this message board is the only thing that validates your pathetic existence. (Monday 16 March 2020; 01:26)

Music industry (93,293) by Bobby A from United States We are probably going to see a lot more artists like Taylor, Blake, and Ariana making statements about people limiting their activities in public places. Take care of yourself. The new music and tours should be put on hold until this pandemic goes away. (Monday 16 March 2020; 01:12)

"Everything Fades Away" (93,292) by Billy from Greece With Mariah's recent homage, I remembered what a masterpiece this song is, compositionally, melodically, vocally. I remember that when I first got "Music Box" this song really stood out in comparison to the rest of the album. At first, I thought it was a remake because to me back then it felt like it possessed a "classic" sound. The fact that there were no credits for EFA in the booklet made it all the more mysterious. Apart from some elements of the production that I think were adopted by "One Sweet Day" later, I want to draw the attention to how "Music Box" could sound if the direction of the album was geared more towards "Everything Fades Away", "Do You Think of Me" and the title track "Music Box". These are pure R&B songs and clearly the side of Mariah that would have been prioritized had she been in full control. On the other hand, it is the "Hero", "Just to Hold You Once Again" and "All I've Ever Wanted" that prevailed sound-wise. Either way, it is great that there is a new interest for "Everything Fades Away" so many years later. (Sunday 15 March 2020; 21:51)

Re: The pandemic (93,290) (93,291) by Andrew from the United Kingdom "If you really care about the millions of people that are about to die (which I don't doubt most people on here actually do), please be at the front line in real life, trying to help solve the problem, and not act like your usual pompous, insufferable self on here." I think it's I morally okay to point out that discussing the benefits to Mariah of a virus poised to kill millions. In fact, let me be pompous and say I know it is. Your suggestion that empathy is meaningless and that I must somehow go and save victims with my un-medically trained bare hands is morally vacant. You're an idiot lol. Was that pompous enough for you, sweetheart? And a word to the wise: if I am insufferable, don't suffer me. Ignore my posts. Discussing the benefits of a global pandemic is just weird.

Re: The pandemic (93,286) (93,290) by John from USA "Again, millions of people are about to die. And we are discussing the *benefits* to Mariah? Did IQ's just drop drastically since I last checked in?" Can't the same exact thing be said to you? Millions of people are about to die, and [you're] on here policing posts and picking petty fights? If you really care about the millions of people that are about to die (which I don't doubt most people on here actually do), please be at the front line in real life, trying to help solve the problem, and not act like your usual pompous, insufferable self on here.

Re: The pandemic (93,286) (93,289) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines First of all, the gravity of this dire situation we're in isn't lost on me or you or the other commenter you "called out" and most likely to anyone on this board, really. That's called having faith in humanity. Besides, last time I checked, we are allowed to edit the thoughts we want to express on this board according to our intentions. And for me, I figured that since we are all bombarded by the morbidity of the subject on an hourly basis on various news media anyways, why not refer to the less morbid ways that this pandemic affects us? But then again, I get that we also understand messages on this board differently, and that much about this board is about how you come across rather than how you actually feel, so I'm gonna let your mini ourburst slide. Also, IQ? Really? Stop. Just stop and be nicer. This might not be an ideal time to, according to your understanding, discuss the "benefits" of this pandemic on Mariah's career, but neither is it an excuse to give unwarranted lectures on sensitivity especially if the "need" for such is solely based on your perception and assumption of their intentions for posting their messages. Be well. (Sunday 15 March 2020; 03:42)

Re: The pandemic (93,286) (93,288) by Bobby A from United States Can't we just be positive and supportive during this awful pandemic. This is only the tip of the iceberg. We need a "We Are The World" kind of attitude. So be nice to one another. (Sunday 15 March 2020; 01:26)

Re: C virus future plans (93,284) (93,287) by enwar00 from usa Dang. They low key shade of it all. I got major Mariah vibes from this message. (Saturday 14 March 2020; 23:06)

Re: The pandemic (93,281) (93,286) by Andrew from the United Kingdom Again, millions of people are about to die. And we are discussing the *benefits* to Mariah? Did IQ's just drop drastically since I last checked in? (Saturday 14 March 2020; 22:44)

Re: C virus future plans (93,284) (93,285) by Andrew from the United Kingdom You have inferred that I am not nice. Why so? (Saturday 14 March 2020; 22:42)

Re: C virus future plans (93,282) (93,284) by Korey2 from United Stated I think you may have misunderstood my post but whatever. May your day be just as nice as you. (Saturday 14 March 2020; 16:26)

MC loves Roc and Roe (93,283) by Bobby A from United States No one can deny that MC loves her children. She is always having fun with her kids. It is evident that she is teaching them in every aspect of their lives. They are always happy and are so down to earth and humble despite that their mother is Mariah Carey. Roc and Roe are so smart. They are going to protect and take care of their mother when they become adults. What a blessed family. (Saturday 14 March 2020; 12:45)

Re: C virus future plans (93,277) (93,282) by Andrew from the United Kingdom On the brink of millions of people dying and you're thankful that Mariah isn't going to have to cancel concerts. That is [censored] up. Shame on you. Keep calm and carry on, everyone. (Friday 13 March 2020; 20:24)

The pandemic (93,281) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines COVID-19 has quickly taken over every possible aspect of our lives. Collectively, affected businesses in one way or another are bound to lose billions of dollars resulting from all the setbacks this situation has caused. Hollywood is no exception, and it truly is fortunate that Mariah doesn't have too many scheduled commitments that involve a huge live audience. This forced downtime would be a good opportunity for her to make new music. But I wouldn't be overly excited if she posts any studio pics in the next couple of months, though. Unless she captions them as her at work for her next album, I'd be more inclined to believe she's probably just recording her vocals for a possible audio book version of her upcoming memoir. That wouldn't be exciting as new songs, but would still be cool. (Friday 13 March 2020; 19:20)

Re: C virus future plans (93,277) (93,280) by Tijl from Belgium In Belgium the government has decided to close down all hospitality business until April. It is getting serious. (Friday 13 March 2020; 18:15)

Re: C virus future plans (93,277) (93,279) by Aliya from Canada Yes, this corona virus pandemic is insane. The most widespread outbreak in history. High risk for the young, elderly and people with who already have chronic diseases especially. It would cause severe pneumonia that can take over your lungs and kill you. And it's spreading rapidly. This is nothing to take lightly, so stay safe everyone. (Friday 13 March 2020; 16:37)

Re: C virus future plans (93,277) (93,278) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, no good times around the world. I think there will be no concerts for a longer time. I hope MC and her family are well. Please everybody take care of yourself. I'm very frightenend and I hope there will be better times soon. (Friday 13 March 2020; 16:32)

C virus future plans (93,277) by Korey2 from United Stated Wow this world is really at a crazy time. I'm grateful for Mariah's sake that she didn't have a lot of shows scheduled. I wonder how this is impacting her plans for the year more than we know? Hopefully gives her time to be with her family and work on another amazing album that maybe we can enjoy sometime soon. Hope you are all staying well Korey. (Friday 13 March 2020; 15:37)

Honey at MTV Video Music Awards 1997 (93,276) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia It's such a waste that Mariah didn't perform Honey when she was making her appearance as presenter at the award show. The show was held about one week right after the single was released. It would be great to see her singing Honey with that two-piece black ensemble. She looked phenomenal that night.
