Back for more…
Over three weeks ago we brought you the first entry to the Road to Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. A little later than we initially intended (due to issues with my internet) I am pleased to bring you the second episode, focusing on Pokémon Contests.
Once again this article has been written by the fantastic, close friend of mine, DefensiveBastiodon (who takes both full credit for it and once again my lovely profile.) Expect more from him in the future. Little does he know that I despise passing my ideas for article series on to others, but I can’t deny that he has does an excellent job thus far!
Road to ORAS: Pokémon Contests
The third generation of Pokémon introduced a series of mini games called “Pokémon Contests.” In these contests, a Pokémon was scored based on their condition on moves. They were held in Contest Halls scattered across Hoenn. In the show, characters would flaunt their well groomed monsters and take part in battles to show off fancy move combinations to win the hearts of the Judges. The original contests were eventually expanded in Sinnoh into Super Contests. It added three categories for the player to partake in: Visuals, Dance, and Acting.
Focusing on Hoenn, categories of the contests included Pokémon Conditions: Tough, Cute, Smart, Cool, and Beauty. You could improve the condition of a Pokémon by using Poké Blocks. Poké Blocks were created using various berries scattered across the region. Throw them in the Berry Blender and take off! The better you were about pressing the button on time, the smoother the Block would be. Poké Blocks also introduced new evolution method for Pokémon; Milotic could only be obtained by maxing out a Feebas’ Beauty condition and leveling it up. (This being after you find one of the elusive demons.) Aside from Blocks, scarves were also available to the player to boost the condition. You could receive these in Slateport City from the Pokémon Fan Club President.
The secondary portion of the contests was partially based on your results from the first round of conditioning. The more hearts you received, the higher the chance you had to be first the next round. Secondary judging focused on attacks. Different attacks had different levels of appeals from the audience. To go along with that, some of them even had secondary effects, such as lowering the appeal of other Pokémon or earning extra hearts for yourself. If you use a move that is in the wrong category, such as a Smart move in a Cool category, you’re not going to appeal to the audience well at all. This will lower your score.
There were four ranks to Pokémon Contests: Normal, Super, Hyper, and Master. The rank, of course, controlled the level of difficulty for each contest. You couldn’t move up to the next rank without collecting the ribbon from the previous rank. In Ruby and Sapphire, ranks were scattered (as previously mentioned) throughout the region; this, however, was changed in Emerald to where all four ranks were in Lilycove City.
The final feature of contests were the multiplayer options. Players could connect their copies of Ruby, Sapphire, or Emerald to compete in the competitions. This was one of the big features of the third generation; the capability to play with three other players.
Seeing as Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are getting closer and closer each day, and we are seeing new Megas appear. I would personally love to be able to use different Megas in contests for a boost in appeal. (Mega Milotic being better for Beauty, as an example.) To add to that, having online multiplayer for contests would be great too! I’m pretty sure that will happen considering they were a spectacular addition to the original games. If anything, they should make the contests more like the show: allow us to use different move combinations in battles for special effects! We already have the pledge moves, but to utilize that feature with contests would be amazing. I can see it being kind of like Super Training in all honesty…. What changes would you like to see in the contests for Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire? What are your thoughts about contests being revived? Leave any comments and discuss them!

Once again we now hand over to our readers to get discussing the hopeful comeback of Pokémon Contests and the ideas shared by DefensiveBastiodon in the article.
As always, please keep the comment spam down. While this time we haven’t featured any comments from the previous episode, all being well we will do next time – possible in a separate follow-up post in a week or so!

1980-90’s Music: Iconic, legendary songs with some of the greatest singers to ever grace Earth. Just brrimming with talent.
2000-2009 Music: Some iconic voices, teen music get’s it’s first taste of world success, soulful music with amazing diversity. More diverse than the 1980’s to 1990’s music.
2010 Music: Getting better, amazing debut artists with HUGE diversity and some Mariah wannabees (tons of them).
My dad was a dj so I grew up with 80/90’s music and I’ve loved it ever since 🙂
While I think there are some really good artists out there now, I think I’m one of those crotchety old men who think the music from when they were younger was better.90’s and yearly 2000’s lol
I’m more for people who actually sing and play music :3
I was in chorus in middle school and high school if that counts lol
Lady Gaga? You can’t deny that girl’s one of the most talented musicians in the scene right now.
I don’t listen to her much, but I admit I respect her because she actually sings.
Like I said, i am a huge fan of Amy Lee. She rocks. I aim to be like her, really.
And Gerard Way :3 He might not be the best, but heck, his lyrics touch my heart sometimes 😀
haven’t any of you heard 1960’s music? I have. and I was not alive in the 1960’s, just so you know.
I’ve heard 1960’s music and 1950’s music. 😀
Tbh I think music is getting worse :I lot’s of the mainstream artist have mediocre voices and use autotune. And the only genera of music selling is pop/EDM any other genera’s (R&B , rock and country) rarely chart. Also albums aren’t really selling that good. I remember you had to have at least 200,000 copies or more to at least be in the top ten. Now 50,000 copies give’s you a number 2 album 0.o years ago that number of copies would had put the album way lower on the charts.
Another evolution, Jenn?
😉 yes. When I hear a certain song, it brings out my inner stripper.
1990-1996 when Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston went throat to throat at the Hot 100, RnB Charts, and Billboard 200! 😀 GOOD DAYS!
you just gotta look in the right places. Avoid the billboard charts as if their the plague is my number 1 rule
Free instant streaming in the form of iTunes, YouTube and the radio are destructive things for the business.
radio play stimulates album sales so yeah it helps tremendously
Unless it’s a song that they play endlessly and people get tired of. I’m not even sure if that’s what happens, I know nothing about mainstream music.
I know how the business works. but nowadays new guys are rarely ever given a chance due to the industries goal to keep on milking half assed shlock every year. ever wonder why rihanna makes the same crappy album every year?
Yeah even though I like her I’m shocked her stuff sell’s that good. But like I said. Pop and EDM sell really well and that’s all you hear on the radio. It’s not even about talent anymore ( Adele is a exception)
Even adele is a bit vapid. Lana Del Ray and Lorde are cool I guess but personally I’ll always stick with my progressive rock and metal
Also illegal music downloading (me is guilty of it) but if I REALLY like the artist. I’ll buy it
I buy physical (Vinyls preferably) but if its out of print then yeah I do some frowned upon ways of acquiring music
At least we’re honest!
Heay do you have any spare Perfect Chinchou’s?
Would you settle for a perfect Lanturn?
Yea
Okay, well I’m sure someone has either of those 😀
Okay Thanks 😀
I have one somewhere
What ball is it in? If you find it

Yea… I don’t want it XD I will have legal pokemon
Fine wasted bit
Its a Female and its in a dusk ball with volt absorb
and believe it or not it was wild Kalos caught and its flawless
**wake up, flawless**
Oh hey Jenn wassup
Nothing much. Trying out a final gambit accelgor and it’s not working out so good. It’s like people know what I’m going to do -_-
neat, i’ve experimenting with Mega Bannette and its not looking good
I’ll take it, Not now but later Let me hatch these real quick

;^;
I’ve recently started back watching the anime. I’m starting to see Serena care more and more about what Ash thinks about her. Is anything gonna happen there?
Ash is the biggest player ever. He’s gonna make her love him then dump her for another region.
Best selling Comparison:
1990’s: 131+ million
2000’s: 150+
2010’s: 58+ million
2000’s era was the best.
SO the GTS on Black and White doesn’t work anymore right?
I think so, yeah.
Good that means no more pokedit
But people make do with all they need before the shutdown. 🙁
Pokecheck is coming out with gen 6 support. Plus people can still make gen 5 Pokemon through other methods :/
🙁
I thought they said they wouldn’t do that
That was pokegen.
pretty sure nintendo would send a hit contract on those guys
I don’t think they can do anything unless they make money of it. I remember they tried to shut down power save cause of the unreleased stuff and the people were making a lot of money
They shot down the iOS emulator and they are known to be extremely protective of their properties
I think the 3DS is too secure for Gen 6 coverage of pokecheck
Maybe not ATM but I think it can be hacked. I remember some hacker guy hacking illegal moves on pot a volcanion and using it in battle.
people can still make gen 5 pokes and send them over through poke bank
back to pokemon
is it frowned upon to use a prankster sableye
Not at all.
No
because i’ve been making loads of people rage quit on showdown with it
Because its super cheap
and if you can’t kill it in one shot it’ll either run away or spam recover
Oh please, Will-o-wisp is not as cheap as Sticky Web. Lowered speed changed the whole match.
sticky web can make pokeon with speed of 90 sweep.. thats why my galvantula+porygonz are like bffs
I love Whimsicott. It always shut down Sticky Web user.
Also, I’ve learned that a simple Normal Gem, Unburden Fake Out can from a Hitmonlee can take out half of the HP of a Galvantula, so next turn you can just finish it off.
yeah thats why i never throw setup user after i get rid of their enemies
At least it doesn’t slice your attack in half and cripple
that’s why they should make normal poison cut special attack in half to be fair
doesnt matter when you cant attack first. they can OHKO without even taking damage or 2HKO
Well i got other tricks
and that’s Focus Sashes and Sturdy
PORYGONZ WILL SURVIVE except a mach punch obviously and life orb priority moves
And don’t forget my Trademarked Sand Rush Sweep
don’t have recover on mine
just tell them on the chat USE CLEFABLE PEOPLE
But what if they don’t want to use a damn Clefable
Because the only way to counter it is if you have the exact counter or keeping it in one place which you can’t know since Ghosts can’t be pinned don with Mean Look or Shadow Tag
paralyze and toxic. and common clefable has aromatherapy to remove does pesky burns
Not the point it still means you gotta waste a turn to heal them when they can take out the Clefable or power up
But i’m saying they shouldn’t make it that your forced to have a exact counter
because if you don’t have it your screwed for not having it, and that has to be changed
Only if u abuse it
You shouldn’t let anybody pressure you into up not using something.
Not at all! I use one and it’s fine!
No.
It’s frowned upon to use paraflinch Togekiss.
Im sorry…
Im guilty of that 😉
It’s one of the cheapest strategies in the game because it almost never lets the opponent have a turn to retaliate.
I hate that!
paraflinching togekiss is beautiful
I don’t complain much but that strategy is super cheap. No skill involved.
that strategy saved me from a complete sweep one time lol is cheap but consitent not like baton pass or Foulswag or confusion, thats why people use it
How does one go about submitting an article for the Road to ORAS section of the website????????
Physical Sales:
1990’s: 200,000 to 1,200,000 copies needed to top the Billboard 200
2000’s: 75,000 to 1,000,000 copies needed to top the Billboard 200
2010’s: 50,000 to 300,000 copies needed to top the Billboard 200
Note: During 2013- present, most albums on the Billboard 200 Top 10 sold 10k-25k copies while during 1991-1996, most albums on the Billboard 200 Top 10 averaged 400K to 1.2 million. :O Big difference.
Don’t forget to factor in the increasing popularity and use of piracy.
mmmmm i like piracy.
The only people who don’t like piracy are the ones who don’t know how to do it…… and the artistes themselves XD
XD True! But my current piracy site just shut down. ‘-‘
That would put 2000’s era somewhere around 2 to 4.5 million to top the Billboard 200. I don’t count that, just the legal sales.
Yeah. Most people just buy the singles or download it illegally so it doesn’t count. Also a few artist sold close to a million copies there opening week ( Beyoncé, JT) but those are usually a listers
I haven’t heard anything of Jade Jungle recently. How’s that going?
Apparently Gamefreak reached out to ShinyNoivern and offered him $900,000 to buy the game over from him. We haven’t heard from noivern yet.
cant tell if your lying, you probably are
Well they wouldn’t have to buy it from him, since it’s based on their property. They could literally take it and release it as a game xD I think..
dont they have to atleast get his consent?
they COULD get sued for stealing someone elses work especially if copyrighted
Why must every female Prankster Sableye I get from GTS be in a Pokéball? I’m still taking them, but doesn’t anyone on this planet breed/catch female Prankster Sableye in anything other than Pokéballs?!?!
What ball are looking forward it to come in
Dusk Ball.
can I have juan?
Yup. Are you online?
Juan is mine!
Is it bad that I want all the hacking websites to go away!
I mean I know people put hard word to making those, but it is so unfair and Nintendo and GF don’t want hackers, why can’t they just go away
People are always going to be lazy and look for short cuts. It’s a part of life unfortunately.
Yes: hacking websites are fundamental at times for the government and people around the world
No: it can be seen as an act of assault and can prove fatal for gaming companies, artists, and normal citizens
So, should they go away? No.
Do you have to critically analyse everything? You’re 11! 😛
Yes, I must. lol
well for me is 50/50 i dont like it but i accept it if for move tutor from gen 5 like knock off bisharp
I think that’s why they shut down GTS to stop them from coming in.
I wish I could find someone who can Gen me a Sceptile with Dragon Pulse & Giga Drain LOL (tutor moves)
They shut down the GTS cause it cost money to keep those servers up and they rather just focus on the new games for the 3DS
Actually, they shut it down because the company that hosted the server disbanded/shut down. It wasn’t Nintendo’s choice.
Treecko learns Giga Drain in the Lv 40s 🙂
It’s not going away. But you should feel proud in the fact that you do it the right way in the first place.
Be the bigger trainer. -Chinese Proverb
Hmmm….i dont know what to say to that. it would help if they did go away. But even i myself is guilty of useing them(piracy). No before i get attacked for useing things sush as pokedit. I have only used them to get the 6IV version of the poke i want. Then i breed it so i have a legal version.
OMG that’s brilliant! Why didn’t I think of that?!
saves me alot of time. i also used it to get a couple of 6IV dittos(all diff nature for better luck breeding)
Let me ask you this: If you created a 6IV Pokemon and bred it so as to make it legal? Doesn’t the child still carry the parent’s DNA? Doesn’t that make the baby illegal as the parent was illegal?
What? No. Its a virrtual game man.
The coding for the baby however… it’s illegal.
thats like saying a baby born on prizon desrves to live its whole life there.
The only time I recall ever cheating was using the AR to do events like Arceus and Darkrai. Granted, I was maybe 12 years old at the time so I had no morals. I haven’t cheated since then though. I like doing stuff legit.
I used Action Replay to, I was like 9/10 I know its cheating But i didn’t I actually thought that was what you do to get the event legendaries since i never saw the event commercials
I know you guys probably think I am a hypocrite now :
When i was 9/10 I thought it was the right way
Lol, my parents never let me go to Gamestop or the movies and download those events. I didn’t feel that bad about it. I was just catching up. xD
Mine probably wouldn’t either
I mean them its just driving to the store wasting gas money for one little thing
I didn’t know how to get events either, don’t worry.
I was totally out of the loop.
Same. But once i found out bout the events i gave my AR to my friend.
Same. I wanted shinies. And all the Pokemon.
But I knew it was wrong during and after.
So I don’t do it anymore.
Plus my AR is broken, soooo yeah.
Honestly Idrc. People can do whatever they want to there games and it’s not that serious for me to get pressed about it. Afterall it’s just Pokemon :p but I don’t think it’s fair to the people who spends weeks making a team when somebody can make a team in minutes. But hey, life’s not fair.
I do as well. I admit using them to get what I want, but I’ve realized that Game Freak does their best to keep things a secret to keep the hype going, no matter how unfair it may be.
they’re always going to be sly humans who cheat to get far in life however it gets them no respect from everyone else
Its the peoples choice to cheat and if they do they get frowned upon
Gamefreak has no power to take away these cheats for cheaters always find a way so instead of continously attempting with failure, not try at all
Mine solution is to do with what apple does with gamefreak, have a patch or sometging that bans all genn’d pokemon
like a far improved checker from bank X100000000
Frozen by July 1st will have been in theaters for approximately 8 months, is it time for the Blockbuster goldmine to finally “Let it Go?”
Stop it
For the first time in forever, someone resurrected a Frozen pun.
Never! >:D
But seriously, I don’t mind. I love it all the same.
Shiny Grotle is so beautiful, but why must shiny Torterra look different from the former? ;^;
So i can be pretter!!!
Shiny Torterra is gorgeous!
Take a picture of it
Jenn , ive never gotten to ak you , do you like MJ the amazing king of pop?
And Whitney Houston, the once amazing Queen of Pop? You have to show respect and capitalize their title! lol
whintey was never the queen of pop just saying
however i love her song i will always love you
both were gone too soon ;~;
THIS! XD
In my mind, Whitney Houston is unrivaled vocally and she shall forever remain by Queen of Pop.
Madonna is the queen of Pop, whitney was more RB Soul and Jazz
If you don’t like MJ, you’re dumb. xD
ikr XD MJ is AMAZING
I wouldn’t call myself a “fan” but I find myself listening to his music all the time. One of the greatest that ever lived.
same i like some of his songs even the newly released ones but i never was a “fan”
imagine if pokemon made some sort of reference to him in their games
they DID reference billie joe armstrong in roxie’s gym
Or Mariah Carey! the Queen of Pop!! & Hip-hop!
no just no you dont associate Mariah Carey as the same par as Michael Jackson
Michael Jackson is at a tier that nobody can ever reach ;~;
Mariah can be queen of hip hop tho 😛
Mariah has more #1 hits than Michael. She’s known for her voice & her writing, Michael his dancing, but both influenced the world with their music. And Both are the King&QUeen. Mariah is in her own tier.
i will agree with that heavy 😀 each have made certain accomplishments and have their own tier respectively not tampering with each other
I agree! For goodness sake’s he sold albums even AFTER his death
He made more money after he died, than I will in my life time
disliked i see XD
Mariah Carey Queen of Pop? First time hearing that.
Oh nooo, you’ve started up… XD
Mariah Carey?
18 #1 Billboard Hits
Worth 550 Million
280 Million Records SoldWW
Yes Queen Of Pop.Plz sit.
Her most recent album sales tho….
That’s the way of the music industry nowadays. Ain’t nobody buying albums. You see JLO’s sales? 30K?
Mariah’s 80K will never discourage the fact that’s she’s still the last living great.
Than how come Beyoncé opening week her album has sold 800k 😉
Cheap gimmick, not only could you not download the songs separately (you had to buy the album as a whole) but she sold out herself. How you go from Indepenent Woman to Bow Down Bitches. She’s playing catch-up to rihanna. You keep believing that 800,000 ppl actually bought her album =)
Just like I’ll keep believing that she bought all her grammies
Hmm I agree with you on THIS album. But she had amazing songs on her sash fierce and 4. Also, she’s gotten better over the years. Not worse 😉
i love beyonce but her song are mainstream thats the problem with music this day they just care for sales and not for meaning and thats why katy perry may have sales and #1 billboards but WILL NEVER EVER WIN A GRAMMY
Patti Labelle, Chaka Khan, Aretha Franklin, Celine Dion, Steven Tyler, Bonnie Tyler, Queens, members of the Beetles, and so many more! Mariah Carey is one of them, not the last.
…
I like his music and he is a legend. But there are something’s I don’t respect about him :I
yeah celebrities make alot of bad decisions in their lives when they have everything in the world and too much money
his songs tho are legendary
They brought bak the Picture option but they didn’t bring back the Taking picture of Pokemon, I wish that you could do that in Amie
You should be able to take screenshot like in ACNL. L+R button. :/
i bet there would be soooo many accidental pics if people didnt know those controls XD
I’ve accidentally pressed them and taken a lot of pictures XD
This. So much of this.
I read “Amie” as “Aang.” lol
How exactly do you get a Sylveon? Because I fed and petted the hell out of my Eevee but it evolved into an Espeon! >:(
Keep petting.
Too late :/
it must have 2 or more hearts in amie
and level up learning a fairy move
It has to learn a fairy move while leveling up, as well.
Max Amie
Have a fairy type move
Level up
Ooooh it has to have a fairy type move? I didn’t know that…
So even if it has max happiness and also a fairy move (plus max amie) it will always evolve into Sylveon? So to get Espeon you would have to get rid of the fairy move?
Move*, not movie xD
Yes. :3
I see. Thanks!
Wait, doesn’t need max happiness. And only 2 hearts in amie
Hey, don’t question Eevees. It obviously wanted to be a Espeon.
OMG i just had this problem. I maxed affection and enjoyment then leveled it up.
Need a Fairy-type move. Catching them before level 20 on Route 1- should have Baby-Doll Eyes.
10*
If you caught it at level 19, it should have Baby-Doll Eyes. If above 20, it will have been replaced. And you’d have to get it to late 20s to make it learn Charm.
I’m still not done with EV training. I can do 4 at a time for a specific EV…
Do you Go to AMie with each pokemon ad their evolutions?
I do
I used to max out each shiny Pokémon affection in Amie. But I dropped that.

I only bow down to God. 😀
Don’t worry, she is.
For you, not for me. 😀
Am I the only that doesn’t care much about the artists themselves, but more about specific songs. Every artist has certain songs that I adore, but for the most part, I don’t bother.
THIS^^^^^^^^^
Artists come and go, but very few will be remembered for every single song they made. What makes an artists great is if they can make even a single song ‘speak’ to you on a personal level, if you know what I mean.
Songs like Mad World, and Everybody Hurts are two of my favourites, but nobody even knows the artists behind those.
same, i dont stick to an artist for everyone has great songs and bad songs
i stick to the meanignful and rhythmic songs
terrible things by mayday parade
love never felt so good by michael jackson
some great songs
But the artists are the one’s who interpret the song. Without the vocalist to bring life to the song, it would just be words on a piece of paper.
no the viewers of the song interpret more than the artist
its like a movie, the viewers are just as important as the actors in the movie
both play a vital part to success
however the interpretation and meaning is determined by the viewers the feel is created by the artist
I know. However, an artist is also a vital piece in the equation.
the artist is well an artist
he “draws a painting” with words and a vision in his/her head
then each viewer guess and interprets the meaning and purpose of the “painting”
the artist isnt as vital as he just creates the bait for the viewers to consume
an artist makes thousands of paintings however only the ones viewer can feel and interpret can get famous
During his/her career an artists will write hundreds of songs, there is not a chance in hell that I will listen to or even like all of them. I’m not saying I don’t care about the artists, I’m saying because an artists has one good song doesn’t mean the rest if their music will be amazing.
I don’t have a specific genre that I prefer or an artists I love, just certain songs that I cannot get enough of.
Same. I respect the artists, but only a couple of songs really stick with me.
No, Ariana Grande is her own person.
I will continue to advocate that. Might have some similarities.
No two artists are the same. Heck, even the same artists sometimes have different sounds. Look at Amy Lee! Her albums have different sounds.
Like Leona Lewis, Ariana Grande will find her own sound in due time.
I see Ariana as another one of those young stars filtered out by Nick/Disney who will inevitably crash and burn.
Ariana tries so hard to be sexy it hurts
I see it as cute. Other people in the Problem video were sexy, she was just being cute to me :3
Then again, I’m not a guy.
Some haven’t yet. I’m surprised Miley is still around. But I respect her voice.
Miley is lost on me. And Mitchel Musso is kind of white trash now.
I barely remember him :3
I’m just saying there are exceptions :3
I have yet to see them, I guess.
I think Miley has a plan… You never know, she might be changing her image, get’s lot of recognition, amazing album sales, then BAM good girl image. Timing is everything in the industry. I don’t want her to end up like Britney who tried but it didn’t work out.
I will admit, there are some songs that I did love.
Until I saw the videos, I kinda liked Adore You and Wrecking Ball. I still kinda do.
OH HELL NO Gaga>Madonna
Without Madonna, females in the industry would be nothing more than mere tools. Give credit where credit is due.
trueeeee dat
I credit her as a figurehead for a female revolution in the entertainment industry, but her vocals are shit. Gaga’s raw voicee trumps Madonna’s, Mariah’s, Ariana’s any day.
Thank you.
I find it funny that even though time isn’t supposed to exist in the Distortion World, time in the in-game’s clock still flows, thus allowing Eevee to still evolve into Espeon or Umbreon in there.
It’d be nice if the in-game’s clock would stop in the Neo Distortion World.
How surprise would people be if my shiny Drifblim uses Defog in a battle? 😮
LOL XD
It be good since my team doesn’t use traps and you’ll waste a turn
You only use Defog when a trap has ALRIGHTY SET. ._.
Why would I waste a turn using it if there are no hazard present?
But you just did say if it used it
Trap or no trap was said
Technicality my friend
There’s also a thing called implied message.
If I use Defog, it is implied that there is a hazard present.
And there’s a thing called specifics
and that can be ran word by word
when you say something like “if my shiny Drifblim uses Defog in a battle?” it means ur using that in a battle regardless of terms u said it used it and it used it done
I can’t help but feel when a “0” appears next to the upvote symbol it means someone downvoted but the mods feel sorry for you so they replace the downvote with a mildly harsh “0 upvotes”
>:)
D:
Fufufufu….I find this funny >:3
Is it true then? You’re downvoting my comments to do that?
Maybe… 🙂 I’m sorry. I’m evil sometimes :O
S’okay. I stalk you on Discus and read all the comments you post on non-pokemon websites >:)
Stalker! I only pretty much go to here and Hypable. Sometimes to IGN. But okay! You’re like my annoying fan! (A reference to Oblivion if you didn’t catch that :o. Also not calling you annoying, that’s just his name cause he stalks you)
If Mariah … a pop singer… would have never thought to put a rapper, Old Dirty Bastard, on Fantasy back in 95, there would be no “Dark Horse” feat. Juice J, no “Drunk in Love” feat Jay-Z, no Justin Bieber feat. Nicki Minaj. Mariah did that first. She started the pop song featuring a rapper. Just remember that.
She also has more #1’s than Elvis Presley. And only two #1’s away from tieing the Beatles with 20 #1 hits. She’s winning. She did that.
By the way, she writes all her music. Whitney, Beyonce, Ariana, none of them do ^_^
Get them royalities Queen!!!
eh Queen had its ups and downs i love some of their songs
like “Bohemian Rhapsody” “Somebody to love me” ” DOnt stop me now”
i like it more than we are the champions XD
wait whiney houston didnt write her songs?
and MJ wrote his songs 😀
Whitney Houston never picked up a pencil. Even worse, I Will Always Love You is a cover of Dolly Parton’s original
yeah :/ however great song
i saw a youtube video of a man playing the sax solo of i will always love you as he walks down the aile to his bride ;~;
The only thing she picked up was a hypodermic needle…
Beyonce write a lot of her own songs. That doesn’t mean they make it on to the album, though.
LMFAO funniest thing Iheard today. Beyonce couldn’t even spell Challenge on instagram
oh pish posh
Beyonce can turn a best seller overnight with NO marketing and Mariah can barely make the charts anymore… so… yeah.
All of beyonce’s singles are struggling to crack the hot 100 right now, where are you even playing @ XD typical delusional beystan
Doesn’t mean tey aren’t good. Believe me, I thought the same, but then I realized that Kelyl Clarkson and Avril didn’t, and I used to love them.
Plus, I know plenty others. Taylor Swift mostly does, Ed Sheeran, Amy Lee, Gerard Way, and probably some others that are in bands.
wow xD Kelly* they*
Honestly the only Mariah Carey song I know is ‘Hero’
I can be your hero baby? XD
“Obsessed”, Touch My Body, We Belong Together, Fantasy, Heartbreaker, Beautiful, Emotions (the song that Ariana thinks is hers), All I want for Christmas Is You..
Ooh err….I’m a bit behind the ages.
if you never heard All I Want for Christmas IsYou I’m 100% sure you’re living under a rock

Ok, I know that one….only cos I’ve heard so many people sing it, I never knew it was hers though.
Yup. Even wrote it herself. Iconic. No singer today has a bigger christmas hit.
I cannot stand most of today’s ‘music’. I like songs with meaning, an actual story. Not just repetitive lyrics.
Mariah’s music has substance, real life experiences, music that saved me actually. It’s not “let me take a selfie”
Have you heard thirsty XD
Yes. And even then she used lyrics with substance:
“Finding you can’t quinch” her vocabulary is unparalleled. It’s not “I been drankin”

If she didn’t, someone else would’ve.
Achievement is nothing compared to legacy. Look at Whitney. However, I do believe Mariah Carey will be forever remembered as the Songbird Supreme.
if we talk about legacy, Aritha franklin though
QUEEN OF UNITED STATES!
We all know she hit it first. Wait, what?
