ugh this thread is sooo disgusting... can't we close it?.. i want to just throw up reading all this... whats the point of continuing to rehash redundant
opinions about alicia... i swear jason, you've been repeating your little ideas for years.... its ur opinion that her songs aren't insightful... why
can't you EVER just put two words at the begining of your sentences that say "I THINK"
u are so condescending critisizing Alicia's lyric writing ability on a MARIAH CAREY board. Mariah may have really great talent for phrasing, time,
rythym... but her lyrics aren't any more insightful than anything Alicia's written. They write about the same things...
It should be understood that what people write on a messageboard is their opinion.
Have I ever said Mariah is a great writer of lyrics? No. Mariah is rarely praised as a writer, though, so there is no point in discussing that. Alicia
is praised as a writer, though, and has won 3 Grammys for it. I think that's lame since her lyrics are usually full of cliches. You still
haven't given me an example of one of her insightful, great songs.
