Mariah live - Emotions

Can't stop listen to her live versions, they are so good. This was an old favourite that showed up, only been on youtube for four months!

Give me your best Mariah live songs!

Did she win because it was legitimately album or the year or because she’s overhyped by the industry?

In the interest of full disclosure; I have been to a Beyonce concert for a date night. I was a little out of place cause I was one of the few grown men in the stadium who didn’t have on glittery cowboy boots and short shorts but it was a cool night…so this is nothing personal, we strictly talking music…The music is cookie cutter. At this point she winning awards based off her name and not the music. There are certain women when you hear they music or hear them sing you can hear their pain and passion in the music and she is not in them & that’s ok, but let’s call a Chrysler 300 a Chrysler 300, not a Bentley.

Where Are The New Male R&B Artist ( outside of usher and chris brown)?

I dont see them. Only one that seems to get any amplification outside of the aforementioned is Lucky Daye........

I have a lingering theory that ive been a bit apprehensive to put out there , but i think part of the issue has to do with changing trends amgonst young gen z , etc black girls

I notice that when im on tiktok , i see alot of young black girls ( gen zers and younger) who got posters of kpop dudes on their walls and edited tribute tiktoks to k pop artist

Cant help but think that back int he day ( 90's,early 20's,etc) those posters would have been usher , chris brown , b2k , etc etc
