Re: Bill (83,951) by Nikki from usa Those performances were live. The 2% lipped were obvious and were the usual parts. No, GTFO was live as well. If you'd spend half the time listening to the music as you do bashing it than you'd be well aware of all the "Mariah's" on that song, in harmonies, and singing with herself. She can't do that song without playback to cover the other Mariah's. She took the lead vocal, did the adlibs, and switched to the other parts as needed. She can be easily heard over the playback whenever she sings along with it. If anything else, the rasp throughout the show should've given a lot of the live moments away. If you think the whole thing was lipped than you clearly can't tell the difference when she's singing live or not. (Sunday 23 September 2018; 10:32)

Re: Andrew (83,927) (83,950) by Andrew from UK The irony in the idiocy: "You're such a hater" followed by so-called 'hateful' insults. Much love. (Sunday 23 September 2018; 09:24)

Your thoughts (83,949) by Tevin from USA Webmaster, what was your thoughts on the performance? Horrible, like Andrew believes, decent, like most people have said, or great, like almost everyone on social media, YouTube, the internet has been saying? For me it wasn't perfect but it got the job done. Reintroduce Mariah to the public and younger crowd and prove that she can still sing even her voice is only half of what it was in her prime.

Roger Friedman (83,948) by JT from USA How can this guy actually write that "GTFO" only went to #117 on iTunes? He's a Mariah hater and I've commented on a few of his posts but hmmm, my comments never get posted. (Sunday 23 September 2018; 05:06)

iHeart set (83,947) by Marissa from USA I thought she did a wonderful job and I was so excited watching her. I have no interest in over-analyzing her voice and comparing her current self with how she used to sound. Long gone are the 90s. This is a new era 28 years into her career and that includes some limitations whether we want to accept it or not. As long as she has put a sincere effort into her performance and is joyful, that is enough for me. I know she is really trying during this era. (Sunday 23 September 2018; 03:35)

It was good, an improvement actually (83,946) by jaker20 from US I liked it overall. It actually got more interesting when she got close to the audience during ABMB. She needs to do that more. She just needs to more around the stage more. It's not always about the perfect vocals, but how she engages with the audience and she accomplished that with ABMB. The rest needed more production. Overall I actually liked it. (Sunday 23 September 2018; 02:04)

Re: iHeart performance (83,938) (83,945) by Licia from USA He was there looking like one of her children. Don't hurt me Special K. Lol. Wait I better stop joking about him before the Save Banaka Tanaka brigade gets me. (Sunday 23 September 2018; 01:26)

Re: iHeart (83,926) (83,944) by Bill from the UK Lol, has it really got to the stage where we now praise the fact that Mariah managed to walked a few yards unaided? What has the world come to? She lipped everything and GTFO was a mess. Standard. (Sunday 23 September 2018; 01:21)

Re: iHeart (83,931) (83,943) by Atwood from NY I thought she was nervous too. (Sunday 23 September 2018; 01:19)

iHeart radio (83,942) by Donnie from the UK Guys have to comment on this, have genuinely viewed this board from afar for a long time. Genuinely agreeing with Andrew's comments (even though I didn't necessarily want to) but having just watched the iHeart performance I am blown away. MC sounded more confident focused and in control than I've seen for years and it made me so proud to be a fan all over again. I've been waiting on a performance like that for what seems like forever. She delivered and I am so proud. And whoever mentioned about crossing ponds, please don't. We are happy to keep the distance absolutely well done MC. (Sunday 23 September 2018; 01:04)

Re: iHeartRadio performance (83,930) (83,941) by Tevin from USA They play ABMB a lot, other than and AIWFC, nothing else really. I have to listen to R&B or Urban stations to hear other songs. Surprisingly though when YME came out they played that quite a bit for a month even though it was a slow ballad and not a hit. (Sunday 23 September 2018; 00:42)

Re: iHeart performance (83,938) (83,940) by Shezz from Pk Lol. He there. (Sunday 23 September 2018; 00:35)

iHeart (83,939) by Randy from USA So let me start with the positives. She looked amazing and she actually walked without anyone holding her hand. On Always Be My Baby there was a confidence that wasn't there for the rest of the performance. It's almost as if she had an out of body experience for that moment. Ok the negatives, the usual lipping and she sounds bad guys on certain parts. This isn't about her not being able to hit high full voice belts, this is about quality of sound and there were parts of the verses to It's Like That and Emotions where she sounded bad. And leave your ears alone MC. It's not your ear monitor that causes you to sound bad. And someone on here had the nerve to say she was nervous. She's been performing for 28 years in front of people. When will the jitters end? (Sunday 23 September 2018; 00:23)

iHeart performance (83,938) by Special K from USA Where was my baby? (Saturday 22 September 2018; 23:52)

Re: Andrew (83,927) (83,937) by Victoria from USA Thank you. I get so frustrated by this individual that my potty mouth replies never get posted. Thank God I have no desire to go to his side of the pond. If we ever met he wouldn't walk away looking so perty. (Saturday 22 September 2018; 22:17)

iHeartRadio performance (83,936) by Lara from Middle East I liked it. There's huge improvement. I think she was out of breath because of the corset under her mini dress. I liked the second part when she wore her coat. I think she might have loosened the corset and that's why she was more at ease to walk around and less out of breath. (Saturday 22 September 2018; 21:56)

Re: Voice question (83,910) (83,935) by Terna from Nigeria That would be her falsetto kinda like how Maxwell sings "This Woman's Work". It's a singing style heavily used by R&B singers sometimes to create a certain vibe and it works perfectly for this song. Hearing her sing in this voice is reminiscent of the "Charmbracelet " album, but a much cleaner less airy sound than then. (Saturday 22 September 2018; 21:26)

iHeart (83,934) by MC1989 from Spain I liked some parts of her live performance. It's Like That sounded confident, with attitude. I liked Always Be My Baby and We Belong Together as well. The rest is very poor, in my opinion. Restrained vocals and it was obvious she could've done better, she didn't move, neither walk through the stage. She needs to go to a vocal coach. She still has a lot of potential and can give strong vocals, but she relies on her prerecorded and back up tracks instead of rearranging her songs in order to sing them 100% live. (Saturday 22 September 2018; 19:59)

Re: iHeart (83,924) (83,933) by Dennis from The Netherlands I just saw/heard the whole set and I agree she sounded great. Also I loved the set list. (Saturday 22 September 2018; 17:47)

Re: iHeart (83,916) (83,932) by Stacey from USA If they keep talking about all her diva moments, the only person to blame is Mariah herself. (Saturday 22 September 2018; 17:42)

Re: iHeart (83,923) (83,931) by Dennis from The Netherlands She was nervous. What is the point of analysing if you miss that? (Saturday 22 September 2018; 16:49)

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. (Saturday 22 September 2018; 16:14)

Re: iHeart (83,924) (83,929) by Shezz from Pk She sounded ok - struggled quite a bit poor girl. But it wasn't a trainwreck or anything of the sort - only the discerning lambs will be unhappy - casual listeners have given her good reviews. I remember her tone and agility had gotten good again during the Sweet Sweet Fantasy tour. She was visibly partying much more then with the Bollocks and the dancers. She seems to be getting her act straight(er) now - wonder why her voice is not improving. She did sound out of breath and looked nervous like she always does in major performances where people haven't come just to hear her. Looked great though and walked unassisted. Silver linings. (Saturday 22 September 2018; 16:05)

Re: iHeart (83,924) (83,928) by Licia from USA I like every song performance except for GTFO and ABMB. ILT was my favorite even though you could tell the lipped parts, but the parts that she did sing was the best vocally for me. All in all she did ok. (Saturday 22 September 2018; 15:03)

Andrew (83,927) by Ryan from USA Andrew, first off she sounded and looked fantastic. I have read many of your posts. All you do is complain about the state Mariah is in. I think it's time for you to find an artist that fulfill whatever needs you have to feel more like a complete man. I am not sure why you keep coming here if all she does is disappoint you. I've never read such hateful comments. They are not even constructive. I feel bad for the people in your life as I'm sure they don't live up to your high expectations. Sad man. Move on and get a life. (Saturday 22 September 2018; 14:52)
