About Edward from USA:

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.

Bill (109,291) by Dove from United States Bill, you're handsome? (Saturday 14 June 2025; 15:14)

New video (109,285) by Edward from USA Mariah is superstitious, probably that's why it was pushed to Saturday 14th. (Saturday 14 June 2025; 03:03) this is a reply to message 109,284

New video (109,284) by Bobby A from United States The video for #Beautiful was late too. It was supposed to premiere on American Idol on May 8, 2013, but was pushed back to May 9th. (Saturday 14 June 2025; 01:35)

If ever TM looked more like a has been it's now (109,208) by Edward from USA 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. (Tuesday 10 June 2025; 03:33) this is a reply to message 109,197

If ever TM looked more like a has been it's now (109,197) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Hi Lambily. It has been a long time. I hope you are all well. I have not posted in ages. Life is busy, less time for forums, but once an OG always an OG. TM really should have left well enough alone. Some people never change. I had to chuckle. Enjoying the new era. Mariah looks amazing. Excited about the new label deal. Much love. (Monday 9 June 2025; 16:23)

Article: "Type Dangerous" tops this week's favorite new music poll (109,191) by Edward from USA Mariah looks stunning in this picture. She's so ready for this new era. (Monday 9 June 2025; 04:02)

Hahahaha she should (109,188) by Edward from USA Mariah's been over that for a long time now. We've seen her thrive and find happiness after all of that. The horrible truth came out and she was vindicated. She's delivered some of her best work post Tommy, she's spoken her truth in her memoir, and poured it all into her music. There's really nothing left to say. Mariah's not just anyone. She's had access to the best care and support. Judging by how things went after TEOM, it's safe to say she moved on. I highly doubt 76-year-old Tommy is anywhere near her thoughts at this point. Now, if she were revealing something new, I'd understand. But rehashing the same story she's told a thousand times is tired, kind of petty to be honest. At this point, if she's said everything that needed to be said, she should take her own advice and "Shake It Off". (Sunday 8 June 2025; 21:50) this is a reply to message 109,183

Tommy Motola (109,183) by Victoria from USA Hahaha let it go. I know I'd totally let go of the fact, someone couldn't let go of me and then drove me to an emotional breakdown in front of the world, and then my brother and mother try to Britney me.. Let it go, she says. I wonder what Miss Let It Go would do if this happened to her? Twelfth to never. (Sunday 8 June 2025; 17:18)

Tommy Motola (109,171) by Edward from USA If you read my post again, you'll notice the word important is in quotation marks. (Sunday 8 June 2025; 04:31) this is a reply to message 109,168

Tommy Motola (109,168) by Bobby A from United States Are you saying at this point in MC's career that she should be thanking Tommy in her songs for her successful career? I bet he has never personally apologized to MC face to face. That would help her to heal. (Sunday 8 June 2025; 00:46)

Tommy Motola (109,160) by Edward from USA I agree. Mariah's already given us some iconic songs that dealt with her trauma from that marriage, "Side Effects" being the most powerful and raw in my opinion. At this point, still throwing shade at Tommy feels unnecessary. She already went through her metamorphosis with "Butterfly", and found a renewed IDGAF freedom with TEOM. Lyrics that hint at Tanaka or Nick make more sense, they reflect more recent chapters in her life. But revisiting Tommy, decades later, feels a bit tired. She's 56, he's 76, it's time to "Shake It Off". Or who knows, maybe she's just waiting for Tommy to clock out permanently so she can drop a song called "Dirty Coffin", reminiscing about how "important" his presence was in launching her career. Poetic closure, right? (Saturday 7 June 2025; 17:12) this is a reply to message 109,146

Tommy Motola (109,146) by Bill from the UK He's got a point to be fair. It's been almost 30 years since they separated. She's gotta shake it off. (Saturday 7 June 2025; 12:23)

Type Dangerous (109,123) by Edward from USA The beat is sick: fresh, modern, and definitely a grower. A little auto tune here and there, but she's earned the right to that, and it actually works in this context. I appreciate the fact that there are no whistle notes or any attempt at vocal gymnastics, it lets the vibe breathe. With the right feature, this could easily turn into a hit. I think it feels a bit too short though, just when it starts pulling you in, it ends a little too abruptly, like, we just got here, are we leaving already? Still, A+ for trying something new, A+ for her pen game and A for sounding smooth and confident with her current voice. It's a smart move in the right direction. (Friday 6 June 2025; 18:54)

Video (109,058) by Edward from USA I really hope Mariah pushes the creative envelope this time, maybe something super groundbreaking, like her in a bathtub full of roses, looking at the ceiling while, you guessed it, touching herself. Or maybe she'll really surprise us and be in the back of a limo wearing bridal lingerie, also touching herself. You know, something fresh and never before seen like that. We need something new. (Thursday 5 June 2025; 19:06)

MC16 (109,012) by Edward from USA Just a suggestion: when MC16 drops, try to focus on enjoying the music instead of worrying about #1's or chart positions. That way, you're not setting yourself up to be disappointed. Mariah's already done it all, she's a legend, and legends don't have anything to prove. The music scene isn't what it used to be, and chart success doesn't always reflect how good a song actually is. This new album might not have a massive hit, but that doesn't mean it won't have songs with hit potential. Some of her best work has never been on the radio. So let's just enjoy it for what it is. I see MC16 as an unexpected gift. Whether or not it tops the charts, we're lucky to be getting new music from her. Let's enjoy the ride. (Wednesday 4 June 2025; 01:51)

Bill (109,003) by Edward from USA Some people seriously need to get off their high horse. Bill is an appreciated member of this board. When he stepped away for a while, a lot of us genuinely missed him. A bunch of us have been here for over a decade. We've supported Mariah through her ups and downs, bought the music, defended her when it counted, and yes, we've also kept it real when needed. We've seen plenty of people come and go, showing up with loud opinions and disappearing just as fast. Some may not like what Bill said, but no one here gets to question his or anyone else's place fandom. If for some of you the idea of being a fan means clapping for everything and pretending everything's perfect all the time, that's not what this board is about. And if hearing a different opinion is too much for you, you might want to grab a helmet, it's 2025. I've said it before: one of the reasons this board has lasted over 20 years is because it's always allowed for different opinions. Not just blind praise, but real talk too. That's what keeps it interesting. Every time this place turns into an echo chamber, it just dies out. And yeah, sometimes we get frustrated and show a little tough love. But that's only because we know what Mariah is capable of. That doesn't mean we don't love her or support her any less. I actually appreciate reading different opinions, even ones I don't agree with. That back and forth is what makes this board work. It's not a fan club where everyone's forced to say the same thing. Bill, you've been part of this board for years, and most of us really value what you bring. Don't even think about disappearing. (Tuesday 3 June 2025; 19:46)

MC16 (108,981) by Edward from USA Let's hope it has at least 20 tracks. We've been starving over here. (Tuesday 3 June 2025; 02:35) this is a reply to message 108,977

MC16 (108,977) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Well well MC once again reminding us we can never count her out. I had given up hope for a new album but Mariah didn't let RA down. Excited to hear the single this Friday. I hope it's as epic as the teaser. Apparently the single or album is called Type: Dangerous. Which is intriguing. It's also what's show on her car monitor T:D MC16. (Monday 2 June 2025; 22:25)

Music Box vs Daydream (108,979) by Edward from USA She thinks she's killing it with her non-facts. I stopped reading at "Beyonce debunks it". I couldn't keep losing brain cells reading such nonsense. Moving on. (Tuesday 3 June 2025; 02:13) this is a reply to message 108,953

Music Box vs Daydream (108,953) by TJ from Norway It's time to grow up. (Monday 2 June 2025; 13:21)

Music Box vs Daydream (108,952) by Edward from USA Your delusion isn't an at ad hominem attack, it's a documented fact, backed by your own words. You never challenged anything. It's evident the little yellow bus doesn't go up there where you live. (Monday 2 June 2025; 13:00) this is a reply to message 108,949

Music Box vs Daydream (108,949) by Lambi from USA I have never made another account here, and if I have, I would not name it "baby" lmfao. Like actually what do you mean? Because I present verifiable facts and consistently prove you wrong? You basically have no argument so you resort to calling someone deluded "yasss queen", when you're quite literally deluded with your alcoholism theory. It's weird you make fun of people's post but then when your opinions are challenged you can't defend them with facts. It's like you haven't grown any muscle in years. (Monday 2 June 2025; 12:09)

Music Box vs Daydream (108,947) by Edward from USA Your level of "yass queen" delusion is impressive, congrats. Mariah is definitely the better overall artist, but neither she nor Celine could touch Whitney when it comes to pure vocal power and resonance. So, before you and your other account keep hyping each other up in your little echo chamber, take several seats. If you're going to reply to a certain post, at least make some sense. (Monday 2 June 2025; 06:28) this is a reply to message 108,945

Music Box vs Daydream (108,945) by Lambi from USA In Asia, during a grand finale of a singing contest, virtually nobody uses any song from Mariah Carey, Music Box or Merry Christmas. Like when others are singing Whitney's "I Will Always Love You" or Celine's "Power Of Love". The lambily contestants would will their artillery with "Through The Rain", "Can't Take That Away", "Forever", "Never Too Far", "Butterfly" or "My All" and majority of the time, the lambs would take home the grand prize. Probably because Mariah just wrote it with higher difficulty level. Those are her best vocal performances. Once again, the market of singers have spoken, you're objectively wrong. Whitney is also the one that has to level up and match Mariah by the way, not the other way around. (Sunday 1 June 2025; 23:16)

Music Box vs Daydream (108,933) by Edward from USA Lyrically, I prefer Daydream, but vocally, Music Box reigns supreme in my book. While her voice on Daydream was like pure butter, smooth, nuanced, and mature, on Music Box, it was fuller, more powerful and with a richness difficult to match. Mariah Carey, Music Box, and Merry Christmas are the only albums where Mariah came closest to matching Whitney’s level of resonance and vocal power. Daydream still featured incredible vocals, strong, expressive, and technically refined, but it leaned more into buttery tone and artistic subtlety rather than sheer vocal force. As an overall body of work, Daydream was more mature and creatively sophisticated than Music Box, but vocally, Music Box was a powerhouse. As much as I love myself some Music Box, Daydream is the better album in my humble opinion. (Sunday 1 June 2025; 02:10)

Nasty, nasty comment (108,927) by Edward from USA If you're going to be a "Yass Queen", at least own it with pride. Facts don't care about your feelings, they remain facts, whether you like them or not. And clearly, for some of you, the truth is like kryptonite. It's well documented that Mariah Carey indulged in heavy drinking, especially around the time leading up to the release of Butterfly. Her voice was never quite the same afterward. She's been drunk in public many times, so it's not like she had a secret. While it may not have been his place to speak on it, even her brother mentioned that she was drinking while on her bipolar meds. Eminem, in his track The Warning, didn't hold back either, outright calling her an alcoholic. Say what you want, but the receipts have been there for a long time. And as much as I love Mariah, with the state of her voice today, she wouldn't even make it to audition in front of the judges on American Idol. Her voice is completely shot. But of course, in La La Land, she's still "slaying". Reality, however, paints a very different picture. (Saturday 31 May 2025; 17:22) this is a reply to message 108,916

Nasty, nasty comment (108,916) by David from USA "2. Alcohol is known as one of the absolute worst things for a singing voice. Mariah's voice being damaged beyond repair (to the point that a number of us unprofessionals on this board can probably sing Hero better than she can and with no lipping) suggests she has indulged too much in this vice." Another fan disparaging and mocking Mariah with one of the most offensive comments I've seen yet (the part in parentheses). I feel sorry for you, buddy - you and all the lambs on here who wile away your hours hurting the woman who profess to love must have very sad, very unhappy to have to act out in this way. (Saturday 31 May 2025; 05:16)

Eternal 12 (108,890) by Edward from USA I agree. I think Mariah had a subtle nose job around the Daydream era, after that, it’s hard to tell because she contours her nose a lot. Aside from several minor touch-ups here an there, a great dose a Botox, some cheek fillers, the occasional honey facial, and her freezer chamber routine, I doubt she's had anything major done. I remember when people swore she’d had multiple boob jobs, only for it to turn out she was just rocking some serious push-up bras. My sister swears by those too, she buys them every ten years, but her husband says they feel hard as rocks, I don't know what that means. Anyway, I’m getting cheese fries. (Thursday 29 May 2025; 12:52) this is a reply to message 108,888

Eternal 12 (108,888) by Jamie from UK She's definitely had a few nose jobs which has altered her face from what it was, I preferred it before. It wasn't even big before now it's too small. I've had a couple of nose jobs so I'm not against surgery but a tweak that she had during Daydream was all that was needed for Mariah, now it's far too small. If you search Mariah nose before and after you can see the huge changes over the years. The tip had got progressively smaller. I was always under the impression as a singer you should never have a nose job, but a lot do. Could this be why her voice changed during Daydream the same time her nose did. I think she kept that first nose job until Glitter then from there you can notice even more changes. (Thursday 29 May 2025; 01:44)

Eternal 12 (108,886) by Edward from USA Botox can render your face expressionless too. Unless you want to Cher your face up, there are new cosmetic procedures that take years of your face while still looking natural. I think Mariah's had minor procedures through the years, but nothing so dramatic though. (Wednesday 28 May 2025; 16:42) this is a reply to message 108,884

Eternal 12 (108,884) by TJ from Norway I don't have any evidence on the case, but hasn't some fans here written about her lack of facial expressions and it (surgery) might a reason for it? I don't know. There has been times during her career that I have watched her on tv shows, and I have been thinking that her face looks different since last time I watched her perform. She's 56 this year, has tons of money and work in an industry where it's sadly "normal" to fix things. Btw: 1 day, 14 hours and 39 minutes left before she release TEOM20. (Wednesday 28 May 2025; 09:21)

One Heart, One Voice (108,868) by Edward from USA I've always thought Walter was the guy on "Whenever You Call". Bobby A, please don't tell me he's not the guy on "The Beautiful Ones". If he isn't, I'll be totally devastated. I think I need help. Help me. Is that the police? Whitney said loud and clear that crack was wack, just in case. (Monday 26 May 2025; 17:18) this is a reply to message 108,867

One Heart, One Voice (108,867) by Bobby A from United States Edward, that was Mystikal and Master P. Walter A is not singer nor a rapper. Lol. He is only a producer, arranger, and songwriter. Are you still trying to recover from her Aussie interview? One Heart One Voice is just Barbara [sic], Mariah, and Ariana. MC described their collaboration on X as grandoise. (Monday 26 May 2025; 14:43)

One Heart, One Voice (108,866) by Edward from USA TJ, you're supposed to be my friend. I'm not talking to you for the rest of week. (Monday 26 May 2025; 13:27) this is a reply to message 108,864

One Heart, One Voice (108,864) by TJ from Norway Hahaha. (Monday 26 May 2025; 12:18)

One Heart, One Voice (108,865) by Edward from USA I thought he did sing. Now I'm confused. I though he was the rapper on "Did I Do That". Who is she singing "One Heart, One Voice" with then? (Monday 26 May 2025; 13:24) this is a reply to message 108,863

One Heart, One Voice (108,863) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands I don't think Walter sings, so I have no idea if their voices blend in together well. (Monday 26 May 2025; 09:49)

One Heart, One Voice (108,862) by Edward from USA "One Heart, One Voice" will be released on June 27. What do guys think it will be like? Could Walter and Mariah bring their magic back with a decent well written song? Will their voices blend in together well? Thoughts. (Monday 26 May 2025; 03:37)

Obviously medicated (108,847) by Edward from USA The difference is, you're just a mere mortal like the rest of us. Mariah has access to all kinds of resources that most people don't, especially when something isn't working the way it should. But what she really seems to be missing is a team of people who genuinely care, people who aren't afraid to be honest with her and help her see what might not be obvious to her, even if that means encouraging her to talk to her doctor. She's been coming off as being heavily sedated for over a year now, so I don't think this has anything to do with Pat or her sister's passing. If she still had people like Benny Medina or Cindi Burger around, I don't think we'd be having this conversation. I remember when Cindi literally snatched the mike off her hand when she was going on a weird tangent before her breakdown. That's the kind of care and boldness she needs, people who love her more than they love their paycheck. People who won't hold back out of fear of being fired. She deserves to be surrounded by folks who will protect her, even if that means telling her something she doesn't want to hear. (Friday 23 May 2025; 20:58) this is a reply to message 108,845

Obviously medicated (108,845) by Carlos from Brazil I think it's really safe to say that she is using medication. I used to take some anti depression remedies and it really kinda "takes your soul out". It's necessary for the case, in terms of "you need it to get better" to a certain point and then maybe reduce or get rid of it when you get well but it really lets you on a deplorable state. You just go through life and the emotions like it's nothing. Mariah's last answer to the reporter when asked about what a popstar like Katy has to do when you get hate or something really tells it all. She said "don't pay attention and move on". I think she hasn't really stopped and thought about her situation: her voice, the lost of her family. It's like she just thinks "let's move on" and then she just goes through life. (Friday 23 May 2025; 15:53)

Article: Mariah Carey confuses fans with "bizarre" interview (108,842) by Edward from USA This was exactly my fear. But then again, the interview was phenomenal, kangaroos and all. (Friday 23 May 2025; 13:36)
