About JC from UK:

Oh Santa (96,800) by JC from UK
I loved it. It's also amazing how much Ari and JHud gave her considering the video is nearing 1M views. But I do have to say, am I the only one who noticed how uncomfortable and not prepared JHud looked? Ariana looked a little shy at first but she got into it once they all stepped up to the front. And I will forever accept how bad MC is at lip syncing for videos haha.

iHeartRadio performance (83,930) by JC from UK
Ummmm. It was okay for Mariah's standards. I watched the live stream and thought she looked great and confident. She didn't lip much of the whole performance and actually looked like she was trying. GTFO was a shambles. The only major fail for me - that I felt sad because I know she's been killing it recently, was her Emotions intro. She mustered up the courage to do it in front of a live audience that wasn't exclusively her fans and yet, her voice didn't want to come out and play. On another note, why is it that suddenly her live mic feed is barely there and her lipping vocals are 100% loud? It used to be the other way around. I say this after seeing the fan footage of the performance where you can't even hear her voice. Question for US people - does iHeart even play MC? Like ever? Other than AIWFCIY of course.

Giving Mariah a break? (53,096) by JC from UK
Ive just watched a few clips of her first night in Vegas and must say she did well. She tried so hard on Someday and she still got it, just inconsistent I guess. Gotta give credit to her where its due though. Ive come to accept that the climax of WBT will never be live haha. But I do want to say one thing, I've seen comments on YT that people, lambs or not, should give her a break for not singing the 20+ year old songs perfectly and to give her time to get into it. Sorry, isn't that what rehearsals and vocal training is for? I would personally accept it if it was for a one off performance on national TV but this is a residency and something more important, if not the most important. Id like to think opening nights are the only chance you get to attract more audiences, not to progress throughout the show. In that case, would it be better to buy tickets to her later shows then? I'm happy with the way Vegas has gone for her, she's clearly becoming more confident with her voice.

Voice (52,550) by JC from UK
Before anyone jumps for my throat, I'd like to clarify that I was talking about her voice during the interview at Vegas. You've got to be kidding if you tell me you don't sense a hint of wear and tear on her voice when she was speaking. While I've already gotten over the fact that Mariah can only belt like the high heavens whenever she feels like it or once in a blue moon, I think it would be wise to just tone down the notes in the studio and when it comes to singing it live, sing the hell out of it? It's more embarassing for her to release a single that she can never replicate or outdo 100% live, than lip sync for the world to criticise when she gets caught.

Voice (52,489) by JC from UK
Anyone else notice how tired and hoarse Mariah's voice is sounding? Maybe its because of rehearsals, hopefully she's not coming down with something again like the first stages of MIAMTEC tour. I really wonder if she's going to sing these songs live and not just revert back to her usual ways of lipping the big notes. Not really sure how Infinity will go down live but I'll be waiting and cheering her on. Wish I had the chance to go to see her residency.

Where the voice at? (47,112) by JC from UK
Okay I don't usually like jumping on the bandwagon and burning MC alive for her bad performances but, this is a tour. Something she's been "practicing" for for sometime and yet her first show goes like that? I've only listened to little snippets from Instagram but they're mostly WBT and it's just the prerecorded climax used in GMA. I always applaud her for singing "My All" and "Vision of Love" live but man, what happened that night? Tired, jet lagged or whatever, couldn't she fly there a couple days before? I saw a lamb fighting for MC on Instagram saying that as the show went on, her vocals came through and shone. My question is, shouldn't she be vocalising way before the concert? It's a shame that the MC who toured Austalia last year is no where to be found.

We Belong Together (46,187) by JC from UK
Does anyone else know where Mariah has sang WBT 100% live? The only performance I've thought she sang it atleast 95% live is when she sang it on BET Blueprint. The rest are prerecorded.

On JD and MC moving around on stage (45,919) by JC from UK
I honestly think it was unfair and disrespectful of their friendship for Mariah to have JD as a scapegoat for all the hate that this era has gotten. Has everyone forgotten all of the things that JD has said during his interviews that everything that was happening will be addressed by MC and it's all in her "plan"? IMHO I think JD tried to do everything he thought should be done for this album to not flop as hard as it did but once again, MC didn't let him do his job because she wanted it done her way. She was convinced her "new" way of releasing the anticipated album would be a success. Then it happened, and nothing. I do agree that MC is probably surrounded by a group of enablers but someone has to tell her how it is whether she is a living legend or not. I think MC was oozing charisma and charm during the 90's because she had the confidence to go with her raw talent. She knew she could just open her mouth and a note would come out flawlessly. Nowadays we know her voice isn't the same, her insecurity has gotten the best of her and she tries to compensate by looking all sexy and glamorous on stage. Once MC get her body in check again and with proper motivation to sing live, I think she'll be ready to make a comeback.

Meteorite at WMA (45,776) by JC from UK
Am I the only one who thought the wait was not worth it? I mean I thought she would've sang atleast 50% of the song live because it's a bit of an odd song to sing with all the effects and whatnot but it seemed like she only sang like 10 words in total. It was the usual performance, she added a couple of whistles in there to make it different to make non-fans alike think that it's live but, meh. Also, I do hope MC makes a stop in UK on her upcoming tour. I'm sure she will since she's said a bunch of times how she loves it here.

The highest MIAMTEC has placed on UK iTunes today is at #7 (44,122) by JC from UK
I had great joy when I woke up this morning and saw the album already downloaded and ready for a listen on my iTunes. To be completely, I almost forgot about it, but I guess that just because it was early haha. Anyway, I really like One More Try but the only thing that's keeping me from it is emotion. I'm really not feeling the emotion in her voice. Also, anyone else noticed how Cry. is the only track to have her vocals be a bit "rough"? I agree with the album showing a glimpse of Mariah and Nick's marriage. A fan asked her on twitter whether there are any songs on the album about Nick and she answered with "always keep the inspirations behind my songs vague". I don't think this album is very subtle at all.

The Today Show (43,675) by JC from UK
Looks like Mariah sang YM(E) and You Don't Know What To Do (ft. Wale). I'm only guessing she sang YM(E) because I saw a picture of her on top of a piano like when she sang on BET. I'm gonna be honest, I really wanted her to sing Thirsty but maybe she did and there's just no clips of it yet. I'm not a fan of YDKWTD though. Reminded me of Boy and Sprung for some reason. Also, I am rather annoyed at the fact that I can already tell she wasn't singing live judging from the pictures and clips on Instagram.
