I find it awful that some people still don't know who Mariah Carey is, so here's your chance to make me feel happy, or totally ruin my day. Good comments about Mariah and her wonderful voice and albums can go below.

Yeah like that's gonna happen.

Here's an example:
I just love Mariah Carey, and my favorite album of hers is "Rainbow."

Now you try.

I just loathe Mariah Carey, and my least favorite album of hers is... well I hate 'em all actually.

I know who she is, but calling it music is laying it on a bit thick. lol

You mean there are people in the world fortunate enough not to know who Mariah Carey is? Lucky sods.

I know who she is. But I don't like her music pre-Mottola/Sony. Her old songs where great however.

Yes, I wish I didn't though.

Well...one M. Carey is a pop-singer, the other is a porn actress who actually ran for Governor of Califonia...lol

You mean there are people in the world fortunate enough not to know who Mariah Carey is? Lucky sods.

I'll say.

Man you guys are MEAN. Except for you Von Witzelben.
Well, I take that back, you said you don't like her music. That's why I made this a public poll. Hahahahahhahahahhahahahahahhahahahhahhahahhaha *Slap* I needed that. But then you called her music great, oh, I give up. You are just 'yes' in my book.

Her music is crap.

She is like a jet engine....she sucks AND blows at the same time. ;)

Man you guys are MEAN. Except for you Von Witzelben.

I'm not mean, just brutally honest :D

well hey, you put the call out for pro-mariah, and the response was expected.

Mariah Carey? Yeah, I like him on "Who's line is it Anyway"

She is like a jet engine....she sucks AND blows at the same time. ;)
Cruel, cruel metaphor

Mariah Carey? Yeah, I like him on "Who's line is it Anyway"
I watch that every night, and Greg Proops has made that joke many a time.

I know who she is, and she has a fantstic voice. I used to like what she was doing and her MTV Unplugged album is great. But then she decided to change her carrier, and she became trashy and vulgar.

Too bad, because she could've been great.

I'm not mean, just brutally honest :D
Thanks a lot. Oh yeah, and congrats on your 1,500th post. You must be on here all day. Oh no, I'm not mean, I'm just brutally honest.

I've got all her pre-Rainbow albums. I guess things went bad after leaving Sony for her. I've also got her biography (or was that autobiography).

Hmmmm.... I don't know whether I like this post or not. And with 'carrier', did you mean record label or 'career'. By the way, the word is that she's making a comeback and returning like her old self. Coming soon in the fall!!!! I'm so excited!!!!!

Thanks a lot. Oh yeah, and congrats on your 1,500th post. You must be on here all day. Oh no, I'm not mean, I'm just brutally honest.

Why thankyou. 6 Posts a day isn't that time consuming. At least it's no more a waste of time than listening to Mariah Carey albums.

I've got all her pre-Rainbow albums. I guess things went bad after leaving Sony for her.
Yeah, well, I guess so. Maybe you'll decide to buy the one coming out in the fall. According to her, it'll be a return to ballads like "Vision of Love" and "So Blessed". That just inspired me to listen to Emotions. That's what I'll listen to (Rainbow's over, but you wouldn't want to know that would you?)

I know who she is, and she has a fantstic voice.

I suppose her voice is ok, but her singing style grates on my nerves and I consider her music to be insipid and uninspired.

OK, I've had my say about you music. I like Simon & Garfunkel, Basement Jaxx & the Rolling Stones.

Take your best shot. :cool:

You can listen to Mariah WHILE you post, like I'm doing right now. See, I can be an example.

By the time they're on their deathbeds (which'll be soon) they'll have no voice left from screaming all the time. Do a poll about 'Do you know Basment Jaxx' I'll be in the 'no' category.

(or was that autobiography).
She'll be writing a series about a girl like her soon, called "Automatic Princess", yes I know it sounds kind of concided, but live with it!!!

I fail to see how possibly "Mariah Carey" and "music" can belong the same sentence

You can listen to Mariah WHILE you post, like I'm doing right now. See, I can be an example.

Oh dear God no! That explains why you are being so irrational. Turn it off!!!! Its screwing with your head!

And with 'carrier', did you mean record label or 'career'.
Both :-D

I knew I spelled it wrong, but couldn't get it right. Sometimes my brain does that to me. (English is not my native language.)

By the time they're on their deathbeds (which'll be soon) they'll have no voice left from screaming all the time.

But their music will live forever (for a certain given value of "forever"). And Simon & Garfunkel do not scream.

Do a poll about 'Do you know Basment Jaxx' I'll be in the 'no' category.

Your loss.

I've got all her pre-Rainbow albums.

I didn't know she had worked with Ritchie Blackmore and the boys...

bah...she's a shallow poser...

Let's do something fun. Can you name one of her albums? I'll start off since it's been mentioned many times: Rainbow. Then we can name the first #1 single off that album, or the first single, which in Rainbow's case, both are "Heartbreaker". Let's see you try.

Positive, I'm begging you. Well, I guess no one would post on this thread if it weren't negative. So, if it puts this at the top of the list, go ahead and go negative.

And if you can't think of any albums, let's go with some Mariah trivia:
Who was her writing partner for her first album?

Answer either of these like this: Answer, then message. Serious, people, serious.

Where's the option for yes and I loathe her music.

The Wallpaper People are never serious. :fluffle:

Now explain to me again why I would want to bone up on Mariah trivia when I don't even like her music?

Now you try.

I just love Mariah Carey... and would just love to get naked with her for one night, heck, one hour!

And I'd give her extra points if she'd sing her greatest hits in a whisper so close, her lips touch my ear & neck... *shudder* :fluffle:

Didn't Sony Music pay her like $85 million to get her to stop making records?

I know her. She has an OK voice with a pretty good range. Unfortunately she has no soul, her music is banal, her lyrics are clichéd drivel, and she uses her high pitch range to cover for the above.

I don't loathe her or her music. Just like I don't loathe twinkies. Both are saccarine sweet and appropriate to immature, unrefined tastes.

Thank you someone agrees with me ... I just find no DEPTH to her (though a lot of pop stars are that way ... not all but a depressingly high percentage)

Shouldn't there be a subject in the title of this thread?

Mariah Carey *was* a very talented woman who at first was selling her music and doing just fine, but then decided to sell her body instead.

Boo hoo! NO ONE'S replying to my prompt. Does everyone need another example: Daydream, Fantasy

the answer to the trivia question is Ben Margueilles

Here's another trivia question for all of those who love Mariah (which is why you're posting on this thread, right):What New York neighborhood does Mariah have her penthouse in, and how much did it cost?

And a public service announcement: Be Positive. Make my day.

Mariah Carey *was* a very talented woman who at first was selling her music and doing just fine, but then decided to sell her body instead.
You sound like a preacher, but I admit most of that is true. Except for the 'was' part.

No, definitely not a preacher, just annoyed by people who actually have talent that think they have to resort to using their bodies instead of their talent. They lose all credibility in my eyes.

Unfortunatly, I know who she is. There is only a few songs by her that I like. I have met her too. She is the biggest bitch in the world. She filmed her video for Honey here in the town that I live in, and thats where I met her. OMG she is such a royal bitch!

This is what you get for posting this in a NATIONSTATES forum...loleoelllelolo

is she still the best selling female artist of all time?

I wish I could ask you where you live, but that would be stalker like. Well, I'll just send my millionth letter to her asking where Honey was filmed. Ohhhh... what a coincidence, I'm listening to Honey right now. How is it that people who absolutely hate her get to meet her, and people who think she is like the best human on earth don't get to? LIFE'S NOT FAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, what's she like? You said she was a bitch, so did she like flip you off or something? MANNNNN you got to meet Mariah Carey. I dream about meeting her (seriously), but you think she's a bitch, and you get to meet her. You lucky, lucky person. You met Mariah Carey. The Mariah Carey. MC. Queen of Butterflies. The Automatic Princess. Honey B. Fly. Glitter Girl. Mariah. I can go on all day, so you get the point.

Well...one M. Carey is a pop-singer, the other is a porn actress who actually ran for Governor of Califonia...lol
Mary Carey. :D

but you think she's a bitch, and you get to meet her.
lol sounds like he thinks she is a bitch BECAUSE he met her

You guys need another example? Fine: Glitter, Loverboy

And the answer to the trivia question is SOHO.

Another trivia question it is. After all, you're in a Mariah Carey thread: Mariah is currently dating someone. How does she know him?

Anyone who's met Mariah, please also post a synopsis of your lucky, lucky, lucky encounter.

Sorry for the erronueus (I think that's how it's spelled) title of this thread.

is she still the best selling female artist of all time?
I think so, but that's being debated. I also love Shania Twain and Whitney Houston's music (I was in Heaven for "When You Believe" and "Divas Live") and I think they're up on the top there too. Hey, as long as Mariah, Shania, Whitney, and Paula are still famous, I'm good.

Was that before or after the crazy incident? ;)

Stern used to call her "fan line" and she does seem a little self absorbed.

Actually, Mariah is a true benfit to the country.

My understanding is that the constant blaring music at Guantanamo was having no effect on the prisoners until they switched over to her "Best of" CD.


Since then, over thirty of the prisoners have gone so far as to confess to actually being Osama Bin Laden in the hopes of getting shot....

:D

No, that video was shot before she went into rehab for EXAUSTION. Not a breakdown, exaustion, thank you very much.

:D

Oh..that was really..really bad Zep..ROLFMAO!!!....Besides..we all know the way to get to get them to confess is to blare Sinnead O'Connor songs.

Another Example? Doesn't anyone know how to read? As you wish: Butterfly, Honey.

Yay! More trivia! By the way, since I had you stumped on the last one, I'll give you the answer. Her current boyfriend is a member of her entorauge, and her offical photographer. Now, the next question: Mariah has two Grammys from one album (you can also include the album name as your Name-An-Album and Single) which album is it?

One more thing: Be nice. Mariah has the best voice in the world. You don't.

I fail to see how possibly "Mariah Carey" and "music" can belong the same sentence
Well, maybe you're right, if you insert a bad before the music.

Any more questions or evil remarks?

Why do the vast majority of artists who work with her refuse to ever work with her again?

What's her latest rider demands? The first born child of her gig promoters? :D

Mariah usually decides not to work with someone again to keep her sound diverse. (That's in exception to Da Brat who has been in 3 of her songs, Heartbreaker remix, Loverboy, and Loverboy remix, and has costarred with her in 'Glitter'.) But, as I would know, Mariah turned down Westlife to keep the momentum on her next album going. I can't wait!!!

Oh, Sophie. Yeah, actually she is like Sophie's second mother. If you've seen the Boy (I Need You) video, Sophie is the fairy dancing around in her hand. And yes, Sophie is the first born child of a gig promoter, so hey, I guess you're right.

Stop trying to force Mariah Carey on us. We'd had to have lived under a rock for the past 10 years to not know who she is. We know she's talented; unlike you, however, we know that she ultimately wasted her talent.

Um, hello, this is a Mariah Carey thread! LOL And plus, I really like her, but seriously some people don't know who she is. Some eleven year olds I go up to don't know her, even some adults don't know who she is. But in this corner of the earth, the only music we get is off the radio, or make the trip to Maryland to find a CD (I do that all the time).

While you might like her music I think you're hardpressed to argue she's anything other then an egomanical drama queen as a person. Turning down Westlife's no big deal by the way. Their five minutes of fame is almost over. Have you seen the video where they're working in a burger bar? I suspect that could soon became very accurate.

Yeah..it's not like she's an aretha franklin or a janis joplin...

I really don't want to trash anyone..but she is not that special...yes..her vocal range is decent..but I can name a half a dozen other pop women that can sing just as well....personally..of the new names I like alicia keys.

Um, like, oh my god! Hehehehehe! Like, you totally have like a million billion threads about Mariah Carey already. LOL! LOL! Like, oh my god, I don't believe that you've talked to anyone who pays attention to society that hasn't heard of her. And, like, oh my god, like seven year olds don't know anything about any music, like, since they're not that aware yet. LOL!

Mariah played Janis Joplin in one of her videos. I like Mariah better. Aretha Franklin was good, but Mariah is so better because of her amazing range. Alicia Keys is the same story, no range, no game.

This is my only one. I mention her in other threads, but I never started one about her before.

Is this a piss-take?

Mariah Carey has lovely baps.

Is maryland the mary carey theme park?

Mariah Carey has lovely baps.
Is she a baker? ;)

Is she a baker? ;)


Yep..those are the best baps money can buy...lol..

Mariah Carey is just abother hollywood prostitute in a row.

And you still jerk off to pictures of her on those cold and lonely nights, and those hot and lonely nights, and most other nights too.

Hollywood?...you mean..she's out there??...I always thought she was a NY Hooker?...go figure...actually...I'd rather see Halle Berry..grrrrrrr baby...

And you still jerk off to pictures of her on those cold and lonely nights, and those hot and lonely nights, and most other nights too.Actually, I always masturbate when I'm reading your posts.

It's offical. Mariah Carey is King Herod. :D

1) Screw Badly Drawn Boy

2) She may be a little melodramtic, but don't say Badly Drawn Boy doesn't have its moments

3) You're right about Westlife, but she's turned down numerous previous collabers for her new album, like Jay-Z, Cam'ron, Missy Elliot, Cameo, and Dru Hill to name a few.

4) Sophie's famous. Don't say you wouldn't have loved your childhood spent with a famous person, your real parents, and in front of the camera.

Do Know Who Mariah Carey Is?

Yes, sadly I do...

MariahC..Big guy...c'mon..let me put it plainly..the vast majority of posters here have given you a resounding "thump" as to your obsession's abilities...She's a has been pop-star who had her 15 minutes...overly dramatized her "mental breakdown", and whose musical abilities have been surpassed by other more talented women.

Now...would I toss her out of my bed..nope...would I buy her albums, not a chance.

Was that before or after the crazy incident? ;)

Stern used to call her "fan line" and she does seem a little self absorbed.
I remember listening to that. That was so hilarious. She was INSANE! You can try to pin that on exhaustion all you want. She's looney.


I was looking at the RIAA's website for top selling albums and artists. I'm almost positive that Whitney Houston is at the top and some other people above her are Alanis Moorisette and some others.

:headbang:

... image that conjures when thinking about mariah as an artist.

1) Screw Badly Drawn BoyTop retort.

2) She may be a little melodramtic, but don't say Badly Drawn Boy doesn't have its momentsHim. Not its. Solo artist not a person. Do you actually know who is his? As for claiming his has his moments, provide evidence of his outrageous rider demands and prima donna behaviour.

3) You're right about Westlife, but she's turned down numerous previous collabers for her new album, like Jay-Z, Cam'ron, Missy Elliot, Cameo, and Dru Hill to name a few.Very sensible. Never collaborate with those more talented then you are. You'll just show yourself up. She's got clever management, I'll give her that.

4) Sophie's famous. Don't say you wouldn't have loved your childhood spent with a famous person, your real parents, and in front of the camera.Not if it meant having Mariah Carey as a mother. I can't think of anything worse.

Never collaborate with those more talented then you are. You'll just show yourself up.

What? People who talk are more talented than she is?? I could get a job rapping if I just wrapped my head up in one of those stupid durags and talked smoothly!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, and list myself as coming from The Bronx on the application. Mariah, on the other hand, had and still has an amazing gift, that's how she made it to the top. People like Rockwell have connections but no talent. And People like her collabers just have to shoot somebody, or do Girls Gone Wild, and Oh! They're on the top!!

Badly Drawn Boy sounds like a group name. I can't help it if I don't listen to that crap.

:headbang:

...image that conjures up when thinking about you in this forum

I'm in a bad mood today so don't mess with me.

Mariah Carey has been given an over blown amount of credit because she like half the women on the street O grew up on can sustain a very high note for a long time.
She doesnt even stay in key that well, she is an insult to talented original female singers across the world. Her stardom is only a testimony to how record companies force BRANDS down our throats with no reguard to talent what so ever.
Mariah Carey needs to be beaten sodomized and left in alley to think about what she has done to the image of female stars, oh don't leave Whitney out either, Crackhead.

And you still jerk off to pictures of her on those cold and lonely nights, and those hot and lonely nights, and most other nights too.

STFU bastard.

Dear God. Is this thread still going? And I thought some of the content on Fools Paradise made me want to cut myself up. :headbang:
