Re: AMA / disgruntled fans sticking around (84,719) (84,746) by Jamie from UK Whitney's voice is more powerful than Mariah's, always was it wasn't a case of Mariah getting embarrassed they are both equally great singers. Drugs aside I don't think even Whitney's voice would have been the power house it was at this stage. Voices change, people lip sync at various times it's just the way it is. I'm no singer but I love a good belt out in the car while I'm driving. If I've got a cold or under the weather I notice I'm not as good, but god forbid Mariah was to get a cold at some point in her 28 year career. I mean can you imagine a star not feeling well at points in their career? Wouldn't that be terrible if people actually discovered she was human and suffered the same as the rest of us.

Re: With You video (84,724) (84,745) by MusicfanJ from Germany It's definitely growing on me too. And compared to the "GTFO" video it's pretty good. Black and white videos are never wrong. (Thursday 11 October 2018; 13:44)

Lamb alert (84,744) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Shout out to Camila Cabello for giving Mariah a standing o. Can't blame those who didn't as they either saw through the bullcrap or just were plainly unappreciative of the living legend that stood before them. I still would have stood for her if I were there. It still is Mariah Carey. (Thursday 11 October 2018; 13:12)

With You video (84,743) by Todd from Sydney, Australia I enjoy it. The last 5 seconds, however, when she starts being what I believe to be herself (eg singing into the hairbrush and singing herself), gives me the warm fuzzies in which I am reminded how much I really love Mariah Carey. (Thursday 11 October 2018; 12:34)

Re: Mike Will made it (84,728) (84,742) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Let's be real, Ribbon was the best song on that album just because of how different it sounds from the rest of the songs. They went a bit overboard with the production, but it weirdly serves the song well. It's a Wrap is a very close second. (Thursday 11 October 2018; 11:40)

(84,741) by Terna from Nigeria I'm getting a lot of past videos vibes with this new video "With You". Is that the same house with the GTFO video and also that magazine shoot she did a while back recently. It's also been awhile we saw Mariah driving, I actually forgot she could drive. Lol. Anyways I love it, it certainly flows well with the song and the sepia tone gives it this vintage feel. Mariah looks the best she's looked since 1997. PS: That American Music Awards performance was flawless like a piece of art. (Thursday 11 October 2018; 11:39)

Re: AMA choreography (84,725) (84,740) by RibbonB from USA Hahaha, I'm checking for MC, still a favorite diva herself, the dancing comes with the package and "I be like yoooo, it's wooooe". (Thursday 11 October 2018; 10:30)

Randy and Joachim (84,739) by anonymous from UK Now I just couldn't leave it there. Mariah was embarrassed by Whitney at the Oscars? Now that is completely your opinion, don't even. Don't state that like it's a fact. Whitney has a bigger voice, yes. But in my opinion (remembering pretty much all this is about an opinion) Mariah has the purer and more beautiful tone, so no, there were no mic problems etc, Mariah sang beautifully and from the heart, no embarrassment whatsoever. Joachim, thank you for saying what I really should be saying, but am just too damn tired to say. If Randy lists the problems that people make excuses for once more and says "did I get them all", ignoring what you've just said once more, I may spontaneously combust. So let's spell it clear for you, Randy - Joachim is saying everyone is different. That's point one. He is saying some people have it all their lives, some people don't, that's point two. He is not making excuses about anything, he is simply stating that people change/deteriorate/get better/etc differently, just because person a keeps it doesn't mean the same for person b, c and d. That's point three. Have I explained it simply enough for you now? Good. (Thursday 11 October 2018; 08:59)

New album (84,738) by Ethan from United States So Mariah's Asia tour starts in 5 days and she has 3 weeks between that and the Christmas Tour. Does it mean the album will drop sometime in November or end of December? Who knows. Perhaps GTFO and With You won't even end up in the final cut just like Rihanna's 4 5 Seconds, Bitch Better Have My Money, and American Oxygen in Anti. Overall, the rollout of the songs for the album is precise and prepared compared to MIAM. And the first two songs are solid. To be honest, I like With You more after the AMA's performance - it's visually artistic and stunning. More or less, I look forward to new materials and similar songs to have a musically coherent produced album. (Thursday 11 October 2018; 08:56)

With You video is artsy perfection (84,737) by Lexingz from Estonia The video is viewable on so many artistic and emotional levels and has so many self aware references that I'm completely shook. I mean wow. Also, the shoe gods have answered my prayers. Mariah, this is art, I'm crying. (Thursday 11 October 2018; 08:45)

Frustration (84,736) by Lara from Middle East I think most fans are frustrated because Mariah keeps promising a change and then goes back to her old ways. Not making excuses but she is in a completely different state of mind and definetly not motivated as before I guess, and probably her medications for bipolar limit her creativity for sure. I just want her to be more transparent, meaning not promising something she cannot deliver. (Thursday 11 October 2018; 07:43)

Re: AMA choreography (84,720) (84,735) by Shezz from Pk RibbonB that was soooo spot on I could actually see those previous dancers doing those cheesy moves so vividly in my mind. After seeing the full AMAs performance on Vevo I have to say overall it wasn't that bad. Looked and sounded ok and to most of the people watching and media publications that's all that matters. Most of them could not tell she was lipping most of it. Only we could tell that she sadly lipped. Let's move on and start bashing the video now. Maybe she doesn't get the budget to hire actors anymore. I could even do with seeing Tanaka doing some cheesy moves on there as a freebie. Am I getting used to it or was there a little less touching herself in this video. Pretty but exactly as expected. I still think they should have gone with the WBT storyline with Bryan reprising Miller's role and a Packer look alike doing Roberts'. (Thursday 11 October 2018; 07:21)

MV (84,734) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Gosh Mariah looks stunning in the music video. Every single shot is perfection, this woman is so beautiful it's crazy. I was just staring at her like what on earth is the beautiful creature? Even though the music video doesn't have a story line, I really liked it. She is fun and playful in it. She doesn't try to be sexy to the point where she looks uncomfortable (or makes the audience uncomfortable haha). She just looks amazing. She has the most beautiful smile. (Thursday 11 October 2018; 05:12)

Re: With You (84,718) (84,733) by Bobby A from United States The video is just beautiful. Should have been released last week. Oh well, MC should go ahead and release the album title and release date to generate more views and spins of With You. I hate when she drags her feet in being forth coming about album information. I wonder what will be the next step if With You doesn't get any radio airplay. At this point, Lambs want a whole album this year. (Thursday 11 October 2018; 05:04)

Re: AMA / disgruntled fans sticking around (84,707) (84,732) by Stacey from USA A-freaking-men. Seriously I can't love your post enough. I've been a fan since 1993, 15 years old. I'm now 41. Do the math, lol. Love your thoughts. Spot on. (Thursday 11 October 2018; 04:24)

The video (84,731) by RibbonB from USA It's just ok. There are some pretty shots. The slicked back hair look is cute. I didn't get the car, or walk of fame moments, or the laying on the floor moment for that matter. Well that was one more stream though. (Thursday 11 October 2018; 04:24)

Re: I love this board (84,697) (84,730) by Mara from United States What a great post. 100% agree with you. (Thursday 11 October 2018; 03:35)

"The Remixes" 15 years later (84,729) by loverboy from Canada How many people have this album and love it as much as I do? There are some gems missing (like "I Still Believe/Pure Imagination" and the Morales remix of "I Still Believe") but other than that this album is pure fire. I remember buying it at Best Buy when it came out and hadn't actually heard a lot of the house mixes because I don't have those singles and loving all of them. I also love "Miss You" and had that sh*t on repeat. It really shows that she is the undisputed queen of remixes. (Thursday 11 October 2018; 03:15)

Re: Mike Will made it (84,608) (84,728) by loverboy from Canada "Ribbon" is one of my all-time faves of hers. I listen to that obsessively when MOAIA came out. Such a good song. (Thursday 11 October 2018; 03:06)

Re: Did someone on here criticize Carrie Underwood? (84,717) (84,727) by Atwood from NY I know and you are very correct. I came across this on twitter earlier, Mariah: *exists* Locals: can't sing- Mariah: *sings* Locals: lipped - Mariah: *sings acapella* Locals: she is just standing there - Mariah: *dances* Locals: does she have to wear that.. Mariah will forever never make people not happy and it's sad. (Thursday 11 October 2018; 03:02)

Re: AMA choreography (84,715) (84,726) by 123 from USA Tanaka gets a bad rep. He seems to care about her and refreshingly stays in the background. I wasn't to sure about him at first but I like him. Mimi seems happy and she finally wrote a happy love song instead a sad song about heartbreak. Are we getting a song on the album where Mariah moans a la Donna Summer - lmao. How about that for the same ole thing - lol. (Thursday 11 October 2018; 02:52)

Re: AMA choreography (84,720) (84,725) by Special K from USA Hmmm, I see you be checking my baby out. You know his choreography better than me, lol. (Thursday 11 October 2018; 02:48)

With You video (84,724) by Special K from USA Well it's about damn time Mariah put out a good, well shot, well directed, classy music video. I love it. With You is starting to grow on me now. Oh boy. (Thursday 11 October 2018; 02:44)

With You music video (84,723) by Nicole from US It has no storyline and captures beauty shots of Mariah. But at least it was way classier and shows her skinny legend self. I love LA. (Thursday 11 October 2018; 02:23)

Re: AMA / disgruntled fans sticking around (84,719) (84,722) by 123 from USA Who is giving excuses? We are saying she ain't changing so why not move on? She's done the same s&@t for a minute now. Why stick around? You don't like the new music, don't like her writing, hate her vocals on record. Y'all go on a tangent when she lips (she's been doing this since 97 as you pointed out) and guess what, she's doing it even more now and surprise, will continue to do it. Hate how she dresses even though she's been wearing mermaid dresses since 1901 and had the twins out since she bought and paid for them. None of these things are new and she isn't reverting back to a better "version" of herself. I'm convinced you all just repeat the same thing but become more visceral with every response just to get likes. She can't sing like she used to and lips all the time. Where is the sham when she got blasted for the whole world to see during NYE. Everyone knows. Nobody cares. (Thursday 11 October 2018; 02:17)
