She has apparently stumbled upon a good solution; make crappy music that nobody wants & it won't be illegally downloaded.

But it will be purchased by millions of parents and grandparents as gifts for their kids under the false belief it's what they actually want to hear.

Solution: Go into porn, Mariah.

She needs to stop downloading donuts with her cake hole.

That may solve some things, but illegal downloading isn't one of them.

Am I alone with the opinion that Mariah Carey is neither talented nor attractive?

Yeah, because *nobody* pirates porn, right?

No.. you're just wrong, like the others are.
If you don't think her earlier work was fantastic for the genre and what it tried to be, you don't understand music.

Now, she's not my cup of tea, but her voice was/is(?) magnificent.
I think that over the years, her prima-donna, stuck up, oblivious, dumbass persona has ruined her musical credibility for most people.. but they won't admit to that.
She also reminds me of the white girl that hangs out with the brothas and tries too hard to be "hip".

So... let me get this straight... My *Opinion* is "wrong." My 'personal view, attitude, or appraisal' about a singer is "wrong." How very interesting.

Hmmm... I'm formulating a new opinion now, about a certain TF member.

schattenteufel: Hmmm... I'm formulating a new opinion now, about a certain TF member.

Yes.. you're wrong if you say she's talentless. She obviously has talent for the music she's doing/done, and has been rewarded for it over the years. Again, I'm not defending her as a fan, her music doesn't do anything for me, but you'd be short-sighted to say she's talentless.

MARIAH CAREY has blamed music industry bosses for failing to spot the internet download trend - accusing record labels of letting their artists down by allowing illegal file-sharing to become commonplace.

Remind me to seed some Mariah Carey songs later.

I could care less about how talented she is, but I'd hit that so hard I'd have to, to...What I'm trying to say is I'd hit that like the, the, the....I mean I'd hit that...

Fair enough, instead of "without talent" I'll say her music is "annoying, aggravating, and painful to listen to." That's more opinion-like than "talentless" I suppose. Either way, I'm standing by my assertion that she's unattractive to hear & see.

 
Ball of Confusion 2009-11-16 03:49:45 PM  
runs do not make you a better singer.

adding more syllables to a word doesn't help it if you're tone-deaf.

she's no pat benetar or ann wilson. or annie lennox for that matter.

She CAN sing, it's her choice of material that is the problem. I would much rather watch her tits flop around than listen to her records. Have you considered the possibility that you may be homosexual?

I think there was a time where she was referred to as "the Tragic Mulatto", so there's that.

I'm not gay, I just have standards.
Millions of dollars worth of cosmetic surgery + a obscene amount of makeup + a trashy wardrobe != hot, to me. Some other people may beg to differ & that's why I asked if I was alone in this opinion.

 
H31N0US 2009-11-16 04:43:22 PM  
She has an amazing voice, but she is the Yngwie j. Malmsteen of vocalists.

Her body would be fun to play with, as long as she kept the conversation to unintelligible moans of approval.

That about sums up my opinion of Maria Cary.

 
Linux_Yes [TotalFark] 2009-11-16 04:53:05 PM  
she'll get over it.

 
NewHairGrowth 2009-11-16 04:53:47 PM  
I'll never forgive her for caterwauling all over "Genius of Love".

 
Linux_Yes [TotalFark] 2009-11-16 04:53:55 PM  
her music is performed by the untalented, and listened to by the untutored.

Now that makes sense. Not that you need my acceptance.. but that makes more sense.

isnt her sister a hiv+ prostitute? i remember reading that somewhere.

See Mariah you should understand, the number of people downloading and enjoying your music for free are offset by people like me who have your music thrust upon them over the radio and in public places.

I should be charging you for aural infringement.

H31N0US: she is the Yngwie j. Malmsteen of vocalists.

That's probably the best summation of her singing I have ever seen.

 
radioman_ [recently expired TotalFark] 2009-11-16 06:11:01 PM  
Mariah can rest easy tonight knowing that I have never once downloaded a Mariah Carey song.

Indeed my total exposure to her output was once NOT immediately turning off a music video of hers because I used to work at the amusement park where it was filmed. I was flipping the dial and said, "Hey, it's the Dragon Coaster at Playland!"

No. No, you are not. I am not of the ghey (NTTAWRT), but she does nothing for me. Of course, saying I have standards might be pushing it...

 
Darth Invictus [TotalFark] 2009-11-16 07:48:38 PM  
I'd hit it. No way I'd go bareback with her, though.

Music should be free unless used for commercial purposes.

she is crazy as all get out but I would nail her in a heart beat. I bet she is insane when she gets a few drinks in her and starts having fun.

 
Scrotar 2009-11-16 09:35:08 PM  
Royish - I don't know if it should be free, but I'll agree that non-commercial infringement should certainly never be punished.

From what I've seen, non commercial infringement is less harmful than just about every legal effort to discourage it is.

No pirate ever sued anyone out of college and into bankruptcy.

No pirate ever pushed legislation requiring customs agents to rifle through your laptop/mp3 player to look for infringing material.

IP law is out of control. And it's going to get worse before it gets better.
