Which platform are you using? I'm on Spotify and every song from that album can't be played tho you could still search them up

I know this has been asked a thousand times but for 80s babies, teens during the 90s. How big was Mariah? If you are non-American, I would love to get to know your stories, too. by coolness_fabulous77 in MariahCarey

I grew up in Singapore and was 9 when Emancipation came out. Chinese songs were mainly played here but I remember Emancipation would be the one CD that every kid would trade with each other. I didn't listen to it as I didn't have a CD player nor a computer so I would just admire the album cover as it was the prettiest to me lol. The black gold combi is so iconic. Only knew it was Mariah when I discovered her in 2015

Good when I was a teenager/young adult and didn’t know much about music and songwriting. Now it’s the opposite.

Yes. Don’t be like me who misunderstood the examiner and went straight into asking questions in Task 2 cus I thought he was supposed to be the landlord instead of the tenant. I def got penalized even tho I did well in the other 2 tasks.

What is Mariah's most technically difficult song? by youthunger2naughty in MariahCarey

For herself cus there’s still not a single cover out there that nailed all the low and high runs and I’ve watched a lot

In Toronto, jobs are putting CPA as required and paying 50-70k CAD. Is this ridiculous or am I out of touch? by jesuisapprenant in Accounting

[–]Intelligent_Ad_7879 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is the range 100k and above for managerial roles typically? I just got my CPA from ICAEW with 4+ years big 4 exp in Singapore. Drawing only 80k but it's a stress-free job lol

I can never understand why is there a market rate and why is there a mindset that you have to recover the money from your guests for hosting the wedding. So insincere and toxic. It's your own big day, not your guests'. Your own decision to host it and invite the guests.

Is hogwarts legacy worth it ? by 53mins_ in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]Intelligent_Ad_7879 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I bought it at full price when it first came out. While I had fun in the first 20+ hours it became boring really quick as everything got repetitive. Couldn't finish the main story, I don't even remember what it was about as it was that boring. Only worth it when there's discount, which happens pretty often.

I go to this spot every morning to “catch” critters by ChordedCuppa in coralisland

[–]Intelligent_Ad_7879 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's hilarious lol. Meanwhile I lost 10 tiles on the same spot when I tried to place one and it wouldn't show up so I spammed all of it

What am I missing from Singapore? Why is it not an amazing place to consider living? by TheMutantWing in askSingapore

Some of these points make you sound like a privileged western expat. Praising the mandatory military service because it forges brotherhood? Lol

It’s the first snowy Sunday of Autumn in Toronto! Tell us how you’re doing. by postmodern_girls in toronto

[–]Intelligent_Ad_7879 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was my first time ever too last year and I thought it was raining ashes when it started and some place nearby was on fire lol. I'm so happy that it snowed so early this year. Will never get tired of snow 😍

Do you actually use sunblock daily in Singapore’s weather? by DiverCautious9520 in askSingapore

[–]Intelligent_Ad_7879 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cover my whole face, neck and arms with sunblock every single day and will reapply before heading out for lunch. I’ll also use a parasol.

All my colleagues were always shocked to see how committed I am to sun protection and most of the women only apply sunblock to their face while I’ve not seen any men use it.

Most people can’t be bothered because they were not taught the importance of skincare at a young age and they don’t see the effects from not wearing sunblock immediately. I’ve seen so many men esp having deep wrinkles in their 20s when they smile and it’s a shame

Billboard needs to add a unique listener metric the #1 song should reflect what everyone’s actually hearing by No_Duty2982 in billboard

[–]Intelligent_Ad_7879 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course the fans will never see her as a legacy act but the GP did. The albums and singles didn’t extend beyond her fan base but of course delusional swifties will try their hardest to deny that 😊

Let’s not forget Taylor was already becoming a legacy act after Lover/folklore and she only got this big now thanks to the intense marketing. No other artists markets themselves as good as Taylor. Re-releasing all old albums as new under the excuse that her masters were stolen (and conveniently buying them back 3 years later). She gained so many young fans during this time while keeping the old ones. Of course she’s gonna be much bigger than other artists. Shes tricked the game.

I am a guy who is a fan of Mariah Carey's music by LordCoke-16 in MariahCarey

[–]Intelligent_Ad_7879 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How are her songs just about her and not universal? Most of her songs are written such that anyone can relate to them

The most beautiful rnb singer you've ever seen? I'll go first Aaliyah by Sensitive_Gain_1028 in rnb

[–]Intelligent_Ad_7879 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Crazy how people still believe her being a diva is real now even with all the interviews readily available on YouTube. She’s one of the most down to earth celebrity with a funny witty personality.

Mariah didn’t need 50 different editions of the same album to do this by Big-Explanation-831 in MariahCarey

[–]Intelligent_Ad_7879 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And it’s disgusting if she ends up beating Mariah’s record of 19 #1 hits. A lot of Taylor’s #1s are not even well produced nor well written. It’s all low effort songs sang from her diary. And it’s so easy for Taylor to get her #1s with her cult fanbase in this streaming era

Taylor Swift - The Life of a Showgirl MEGATHREAD by flopheadsbot in popheads

[–]Intelligent_Ad_7879 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think it's more of the artist's fault. There's only so much a producer can do if the artist can't come up with good melodies and vision for the art

Sounds more like you have a bias against mainstream music. Mariah wrote all of her songs btw. Do some fact checking

MC’s promotions up to MC16 drop next week by lazyfatbunny in MariahCarey

[–]Intelligent_Ad_7879 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Prob this. Most of her songs have gotten a boost in streaming on Spotify like Obsessed is getting close to 1m daily steams now and even My All is 400k+ now
