Re: No No No clip (85,409) (85,411) by B from USA They've raised the tempo and pitch to avoid copyright issues. (Monday 29 October 2018; 14:21)

Re: Mariah's best advice (85,404) (85,410) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Yes, she actually said that, albeit straight to camera (she was being interviewed confessional style) and not really to the contestants, but still, that's the most sensible and most appropriate piece of advice she has ever given to any dreamer ever. The industry truly is more parts luck and timing than actual talent and resources. (Monday 29 October 2018; 13:51)

No No No clip (85,409) by Licia from USA I hope the clip I just heard is not the song because it's a definite No No No from me. Hopefully when I hear the song fully it'll change my mind. *goes back to replaying The Distance over and over* (Monday 29 October 2018; 12:56)

Re: Lips? Lol (85,407) (85,408) by Edward from USA "Also it must be easy to take care of your voice when you don't have to write/produce a song." How writing and producing a song makes it harder for a person to take care of their voice? You take care of your voice by not doing things that would ruin it and by taking steps to preserve it, having professional help and a vocal coach. Celine's voice is definitely not the same, but she's doesn't struggle like Mariah. She lips, but she can still sing hell of a song. I don't see her hiding behind a posse of backup singers. (Monday 29 October 2018; 12:36)

Lips? Lol (85,407) by We are Lambily from USA Someone is clearly biased and has a grudge against Mariah. Celine lips more than half of her shows. Also it must be easy to take care of your voice when you don't have to write/produce a song. Mariah is a music genius, Celine is a great "in my opinion good" singer. Mariah can't relate to being in the industry for 30+ years yet you can't even produce a single hit lyric. Lol. Celine's career is Mariah Carey's nightmare, that's exactly what Tommy had in mind for her, to sing the same basic contemporary songs over and over again. Proceed with caution y'all (Monday 29 October 2018; 11:09)

Caution tour (85,406) by Ethan from United States I just recently saw Christina's Liberation Tour concert in Oakland with a similar scale, that is theater-venue. I hope Caution Tour considers some kind of production to accommodate for the size of venue. I know Mariah has done this before, aka Charmbracelet Tour, and it was amazing. Mariah's team needs to do is to show some beauty montages, speaking parts, and dancers' routines between costume changes with a theme. To be honest, Christina can sing but nowadays it's hard to hear her singing, which is not my style - too much ad libs, over-the-top vocals, and I can't hear much even though I know her songs. The difference between Mariah and her is that some of her songs can move the crowds like Dirty, Can't Hold Us Down, Fighter, etc., aka more dance songs (she definitely has the empowerment factor to drive the crowds and fans - yes Mariah has Hero/Make It Happen but she needs to make an inspirational speech to inspire more people). At the concert, the choruses are heavily relied on backup singers and backup tracks. It's interesting to notice that not a lot of folks have criticized about her current voice (and she hasn't toured much at all). It's definitely not the same as late 90s and Stripped and Back to Basics era. So all I hope is that Mariah gets back her confidence (as she recently yet slowly did during her Asia tour) and works on her stage presence and performance. Then, she will be great despite the current vocals. (Monday 29 October 2018; 07:13)

Re: Just a thought (85,396) (85,405) by Andrew from UK Does she sound good, though? All I am hearing is staccato bursts of struggle and seeing Mariah drinking in the studio. Celine looks after her voice and Mariah abuses it and lips. (Monday 29 October 2018; 04:34)

Re: Mariah's best advice (85,401) (85,404) by Andrew from UK Upon reading your message I thought you were being sarcastic about what Mariah should have said. That she said that, well, how iconic. Proud of that. How thoughtful and how insightful. Very proud. (Monday 29 October 2018; 04:30)

Lambs promo wish list for Mariah (85,403) by Nikki from usa As many lambs have said before, Mariah's main vocal issue has and will always be maintenance. She's given hundreds of great performances over the years, but no one gives her credit for those and they don't go viral. Then, she always overdoes it. She doesn't take sufficient breaks in between performances and she's continually singing with inflamed cords. When she paces herself there's a 180 difference in her sound. With that said, she's a known live singer, and we want live performances. 1. I would love for her to do a collection of songs with James in Carpool Karaoke doing a mix of this new album and old hits. 2. Do a live acoustic concert on GMA. 3. Some kind of TV special behind the scenes like what she did with The First Vision or Mimi's era. 4. I want to see her on the covers of magazines and answering unique interview questions we haven't already heard 100 times. (Monday 29 October 2018; 03:12)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey surrounded by creepy clowns (85,400) (85,402) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I have been really into scary stuff and scary movies since I was a toddler, so I can see Roc and Roe being into it too. (Monday 29 October 2018; 00:54)

Mariah's best advice (85,401) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines "I don't know that I have one big piece of advice to give to the artists. I think the main thing for them is to be themselves. And we can all give them little pointers or things that'll help them maybe succeed within this arena, but at the end of the day, if somebody's meant to be in the music business for their life, and it's their calling, then that's what it's gonna be. And they've made it this far, and we'll see what the future brings." This. This should be what any sensible person who ever gives any piece of advice to the contestants of any reality singing competition should be saying. Many have talent, but only about 1% (if not less) of those hopefuls will actually find a career in the music business as a legitimate star. Most of what the coaches say are pretty much very subjective and exaggerated because of their excitement for these talents. They tend to gush too much of their capabilities, and those hopefuls who get carried away by all the praises and don't know better are inadvertently led to believe that they have a secure slot at making it big, as if it were that simple. That statement by Mariah makes sense more than everything she has rambled about on American Idol, and is more realistic and poignant (or hopeful, depending on one's perspective) than anything these coaches have said so far this season or any season, really. Yay for keeping it real. (Sunday 28 October 2018; 23:44)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey surrounded by creepy clowns (85,399) (85,400) by Atwood from NY Maybe her children like that and are really into Halloween. Mariah's always festive with every holiday. (Sunday 28 October 2018; 23:44)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey surrounded by creepy clowns (85,384) (85,399) by Bill from the UK It was the blades in their heads and eyes and their scary faces that made me question why on earth she would do that to her young children. (Sunday 28 October 2018; 16:57)

Re: A No No (85,377) (85,398) by Bill from the UK There's a difference between physically sold and scanned copies vs copies shipped to territories to be sold. Daydream sold 7.5m in the US (in total, since release, not in 1995 alone). (Sunday 28 October 2018; 16:55)

Re: Caution to feature a cover song? (85,394) (85,397) by Edward from USA A rap into "Back That Memory Lene"? Minnie Riperton would turn on her grave if such thing should happen. Unless Eminem were featured on it, then maybe, just maybe. (Sunday 28 October 2018; 15:54)

Just a thought (85,396) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway Hey, this is just my taking on why Mariah suddenly sounds so good in her concerts. It's like she has found the upper belting register again, like it always was there. Maybe the years after she gave birth, she has enjoyed so much being a mother, while her love life has been a roller coaster. The kids are a bit older now, Mariah is steady with Brian, and now it looks like she is enjoying being on stage, and have fun while she sings. Perhaps it is a bit fun to be away from dem babies and Tanaka, and now performing has become a way to take a break and do what she loves, to sing. (Sunday 28 October 2018; 15:42)

Re: Caution to feature a cover song? (85,389) (85,395) by Licia from USA Then if she would be putting out a 20 track album with mostly fillers you'd be super pissed still. I'd rather the 10 tracks. At least I know I like half of the album. (Sunday 28 October 2018; 15:37)

Re: Caution to feature a cover song? (85,378) (85,394) by Licia from USA You really think she couldn't do Back Down Memory Lane? It would be interesting just to hear what she'd come up with, but then again as much as I love most of her rap collabos, I'd want to kick her in the face if she somehow managed to work a rap into that song. Never mind I'll just take that one off the list. (Sunday 28 October 2018; 15:34)

Re: New name for message board (85,391) (85,393) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway Very long, not easy to pronounce. (Sunday 28 October 2018; 15:16)

Re: Caution to feature a cover song? (85,389) (85,392) by B from USA The deluxe edition of Caution is available as a CD, MP3, and vinyl. (Sunday 28 October 2018; 15:09)

New name for message board (85,391) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands I'm thinking of renaming this message board "B's Mariah Carey Messageboard". What do think of this name? (Sunday 28 October 2018; 15:07)

A No No (85,390) by B from USA Get me Ed Shapiro on the phone, case closed. Mariah is isn't playing with Stella. Wonder if Stella's trembling hand caused her blush look blotchy, lol. (Sunday 28 October 2018; 15:02)

Re: Caution to feature a cover song? (85,372) (85,389) by Randy from USA It's totally inappropriate for this album, but remember awhile back she promised us a remake of My Favorite Things? She said she would put it on a Christmas album one day and then we got MCIIYou. No My Favorite Things. MC needs to put a remake or something out there. An album with only 10 tracks? I'm pissed. And we have no details on the deluxe. Only on vinyl? But yeah we waited four and a half years. I'm sure she's recorded more than ten songs. And if 10 is the case, we've heard 30% of the album. I'm not happy. (Sunday 28 October 2018; 13:29)
