Favourite MC Album: Music Box

Tours (48,992) by Angelo from Italy
After talking about dvd's editing (and after understanding, in my opinion, that just the Unplugged and Proctor are dvd's I wanna own), I'd like to ask you, what was the last tour of an entire setlist without playback/pre-recording? Because I listen to the Butterfly tour and the Mimi tour and I noted a lot of pure playback, but I don't understand the Charmbracelet tour. I am sure of playback "Fantasy" but other songs? "Through the rain in Manila" is totally live?

DVD's question / to Nikki from the USA (48,938) by Angelo from Italy
Ok, I see you point, and I know, Proctor's and MSG nights were totally live from her, what I'm saying is that the DVD's maybe included some resung "in studio" touches and I don't like those moves. In the DVD, Forever is the album version, maybe because that was the promo music video at the time in the USA, but hey, I can say it's different for Adventures DVD. In fact, I think that DVD is full of "studio touching" and/or lipsync from that night. I mean, "I wish you knew" is totally fake, even the last part of ABMB and WBT when she turns and turns on the finale, is impossible to reach that note and turning around like that way. C'mon, it clearly is fake, and I'm very sorry for that, because now I wan to sell that dvd, because I hate it. So, here's the thing:
1. Proctor concert DVD: nice, with intermissions, but full concert, in order setlist, and with no "post studio touching". Good.
2. MSG DVD: totally live, except "Forever", and the concert is badly cut, too many intermissions, dress changing crazy with order setlist. Not good.
3. Adventures: full of lipsync and "post studio touching", entire concert with no intermissions (perfect.), but for me it's fake so not good.

25th Anniversary (48,898) by Angelo from Italy
I know, Edward from the USA, that Mimi's voice wasn't perfect for her last tour, but the best thing for her is doing short setlists, no playback songs, and reduce tickets prices. Anyway, for this anniversary, I'd like to see her doing a great documentary like Michael Jackson's Bad25 by Spike Lee, with many artists and co-workers interviews. I mean, Trey Lorenz, Ben Margulies, even Afanasieff and Mottola. And of course, on 12 June, one night only concert in New York to celebrate the album release, totally live and later released on Blu Ray:
1. Vanishing
2. Emotions
3. Dreamlover
4. My all
5. Love takes time
6. Someday
7. Always be my baby
8. Touch my body
9. We belong together
10. Vision of love

DVD's question / to Marcel from Canada (48,897) by Angelo from Italy
Thank you, your answer was so interesting. Well, I don't like MSG '95 for its cut and for Forever totally playback. But I like Proctor dvd. I mean, I hate intermissions, but the concert is in its entirety and order. I am sorry about Adventures 2006, but watching again I noticed more and more totally studio resung parts. Such a pity.

25th Anniversary (48,888) by Angelo from Italy
Well, I don't think she'll celebreate, she hates that era and maybe that album too (VOL apart). And she doesn't care about what her fans want, we saw last tour when people voted "Anytime you need a friend" and she didn't. Many years, many concerts, everytime the one and only song from the debut album was VOL, since Daydream tour. It's a shame. So forget the anniversary.

DVD's question / to Bill from the UK (48,887) by Angelo from Italy
Thank you for your answer. Well, so disappointed, I mean, just MTV Unplugged is real, very sad. But, taking a look again at Proctor's '93, I saw more live and no dubbing than MSG '95 and Adventures 2006.
(Thursday 1 January 2015; 23:51)
Dvd's question (48,847) by Angelo from Italy
Hello. Is it true that every dvdfrom Mariah is edited and full of lipsync? I'm talking about Thanksgiving '93, MSG '95 and (most of all) Mimi Adventures (I checked and at least Fantasy, last parts of DFAU, ABMB and WBT are pure playback ). Thank you for answers.

Live album (47,052) by Angelo from Italy
I don't know, c'mon lambs, I think Mimi could release a real live album just for Music Box and Daydream tours, the others were so plenty of lypsinc, dubbed, and other stuff that it could be impossible. I really hope that this one it could be different, I like TEOM tour, but c'mon, Fantasy is always on playback and Always Be My Baby finale too. Let's hope, if this new tour could reach Music Box and Daydream tours (were so perfect) I'll ask a live album too, if it will not, well, I just hope a new unplugged concert, brief as the first one but totally, I say totally live (Vanishing/Emotions/After Tonight/Looking In/Cry).

YDKWTD single (47,000) by Angelo from Italy
I see, Edward, you're right, but I really hoped that the performance of this song with Wale could help. I mean it was a great performance, Mariah was on the piano, the album coming and that was the only song from MIAMTEC, so I'm really sorry about all this failure and really I don't understand totally. And also, I knew Mimi had recorded 2 more videos from MIAMTEC era, I mean, sure one, don't know the other one, and I always thought that the video could be YDWTD, but why don't even release just via VEVO?

YDKWTD single (46,995) by Angelo from Italy
I don't understand, one of the most acclaimed songs by critics and lambs too, but it is also the most failure in her singles career: any chart, I mean, any Billboard chart saw this single. I mean, "Bringin' on the heartbreak", "I stay in love", "Right to dream", even those singles had an entrance, why YDWTD nothing? Airplay, dance nor adult? I mean, if this song could reach even little peaks it could be really considered at Grammy nominations (and maybe win), but it it so difficult (more for Mimi) has consideration just for critics acclaim.
(Sunday 28 September 2014; 12:56)
Grammy nominations (46,994) by Angelo from Italy
Closure times of Grammy nominations. Well, I'm not sure she'll not win, the sales (and project exposure too) were too low, really I don't understand why US lambs want more concerts or perfomances in their country and then they don't even buy or request her songs. By the way, I think she'll have those nominations: 1. Best R&B Album - MIAMTEC (I know it hasn't sold weel, but it is actually her most acclaimed album by critics) 2. Best R&B Performance - You're mine (it was the only single really impacted on charts, #1 on Dance Chart, acclaimed by critics too, beautiful performance at BET). Let's hope in those nominations at least (and maybe a winning time, MIAMTEC is great).

How many songs from MIAMTEC? (46,839) by Angelo from Italy
Hey friends, counting every tour since 1993, I've noted that Mimi always choose 6 songs from the album associated to the tour, with the exeption of the Music Box (5) and the Rainbow (7 plus 2 interludes). So, with so many songs after 25 years and the weakness of the MIAMTEC sales (shame), how many songs will she choose, and which? I think 5 songs, here my thoughts:
1) Cry (she did this even in France this summer, she loves it)
2) #Beautiful (excellent single, you know)
3) Thirsty (she told us, inviting even that band from US )
4) You don't know what to do (this song is a bomb live)
5) The art of letting go (the song from MIAMTEC era)
So, what you think?

Tour setlist... again (46,797) by Angelo from Italy
Talking with other lambs on her facebook account, I believe more the fact that lambs have got to understand that she has vocal nodes, vocal problems, and mabye it could be better a short setlist, but live totally. This is my setlist for the MIAMTEC tour, the one I'd love, short but intense and funny, even with songs chosen by fans with the songs battles of these days.
1. You don't know what to do
2. It's like that
3. Cry
4. Triumphant (smah hit in Asia)
5. Side effects
6. Beautiful
7. Crybaby
8. Obsessed
9. Anytime you need a friend
10. We belong together
11. The art of letting go
What do you think? Live totally

Battle songs (46,659) by Angelo from Italy
I love this idea of choosing part of the setlist. I loved when Brazilians had the chance to choose (they've chosen I Still Believe, remember?) and now it repeats. Well, about choises, here's my list:
1. Side effects
2. Anytime you need a friend (please, it's in my MC top 10)
3. Crybaby (well, I'm not in love with Crybaby or Babydoll in particular, actually)
And next?
(Sunday 7 September 2014; 1:55)

5. You're mine

New tour and new album (46,130) by Angelo from Italy
I would like if Mariah would release a new studio album this fall, maybe November, with a new label and the tour promoting both Chanteuse and this new project. I mean, I am sure Mimi has at least 10 brand new songs already recorded, so why not, maybe with a brand new video out on September for YDKWTD and promoting both projects. It would be a great surprise and a great career twist.
(Tuesday 19 August 2014; 13:10)
WMA Meteorite (45,789) by Angelo from Italy
So tired of her, she's not a singer, she's an actress. So boring the song, so playback the performance. With those awards so important and really relevants it's a shame her lip-sync.
(Monday 4 August 2014; 13:09)
Today Show (43,644) by Angelo from Italy
I really really hope that tomorrow Mariah will sing (really sing) Thirsty, TAOLG and, maybe, another new song. What are you're hopes for tomorrow?
(Thursday 15 May 2014; 16:58)
Album details, finally (43,204) by Angelo from Italy
Now we have album details, finally. I really like the title, the cover, but I think I'll get a standard copy of the album because I don't understand 2 remixes from MOAIA (with no parts resung) and I have already TAOLG. And also I don't like deluxe edition cover. I'm curious about George Michael's cover, and I don't understand Stevie Wonder role on this album, where's he? And for the people who wondering about YM flop, well, when you release a single and you don't even promote it (just 1 single playback performance is not promotion) of course you flop. It's a rule. So now I hope she restarts the promotion from 0, and chooses a brand new single to promote next week.

Singles fail (42,961) by Angelo from Italy
I [...] when I read "singles since Triumphant failed". Who's the [...] of these failures? Just [...]. Because when you don't promo [...] these single in [...] tv show, you [...]. You remember Triumphant? One and only one performance: it went after 1 month from the release and was [...]. And what about Almost Home? Somebody remember one, I say [...] performance of this single? [...] Then came Beautiful, great job, finally, and the The Art Of Letting Go and You're Mine, both with one [...] performance. And everybody ask why those singles failed? Are you kidding me? The question is [...] You, singer, have to believe in your songs and try to [...]. Nobody buys music if you stay in your home, [...] to everybody, telling that you're final touching new music for 4 years, and [...] every perfomance you do. So, don't play the curious-shocked person for these failures, just [...] fault, [...] of them.

Smart (42,897) by Angelo from Italy
I was laughing reading "Mariah, she's smart". Smart? Mariah's smart? A person that doesn't choose Migrate, Side Effects, For The Record, Standin' O as singles is smart? The same persone who disappears for "final touches" for 4 years and doesn't answers to her fans? You're crazy. The album will come out this December, AIWFCIY (Eternal Remix) will be the lead single. You'll see.
(Friday 25 April 2014; 18:46)
Faith? (42,786) by Angelo from Italy
You just said we have to faith in Mariah? In who? A person that even stopped to talk with her fans and explain WTF is happening? Faith in a person who after 4 years of "final touches" just shares her [censored] family photos? It's a shame that fans got to talk with her manager JD instead of her, because she doesn't answer to her fans. Faith in Mariah? After this new pushback mabye I'll not buy the album either, maybe after 4 years of final touches. [censored]
(Tuesday 22 April 2014; 15:58)
Shame (42,751) by Angelo from Italy
It's a shame, after 4 years and "final touching" or "final mixing", it's a shame that the album gets pushed back again. And don't tell me about Island or whatever, it's a shame that an artist stays in the studio until dawn the last 2 weeks before the release. After 4 years. Shame on her, and when she'll find the brave to confirm the pushed back, I'll start "operation shame on her", because this is what she deserves.
(Monday 21 April 2014; 11:33)
Tracklist (42,705) by Angelo from Italy
I think it's a fake tracklist, c'mon 18 songs? No way, this album is not Butterfly style, like Charmbracelet and Memoirs, it will be a party kind of album. 12/13 songs. And it's impossible to have Beautiful as the first song, I mean, it's a Mimi album and the first voice you hear is Miguel's? No way. And TAOLG too, it's impossible at second place, that song will be the 10th or 11th track as one of the desserts.
(Friday 18 April 2014; 14:29)
Facebook photos (42,483) by Angelo from Italy
I'm not complaining, but I doubt, seriously, that the album will be ready for May 6th. C'mon, she's still recording songs, after 4 years and after thousands of "final touches".
