Re: Mariah Carey featuring Mariah Carey (74,449) (74,456) by Tevin from USA Thanks a lot Andrew. I went to watch the video you put the link to, and then I ended up blowing an hour watching old Mariah videos lol. (Thursday 13 April 2017; 05:07)

I can't wait (73,015) by Tevin from USA I can't wait to see Mariah in Grand Rapids in a month. This will be my first Mariah concert. (Wednesday 22 February 2017; 4:19)

Re: 26 million viewers Grammy's missed opportunity (72,661) (72,680) by Tevin from USA She performed at the Grammys during the E=MC2 era. In fact I remember that performance because Mariah looked like she stepped into a time machine and brought her 1996 self there to perform, she looked amazing. (Wednesday 15 February 2017; 2:50)

Re: What happened? (70,543) (70,572) by Tevin from USA A part of me died inside when someone in the tech crew decided to pop in the TEOM cd and play the album version of WBT. Even Mariah was like WTF? (Sunday 1 January 2017; 19:05)

Mariah's new year performance (70,499) by Tevin from USA At least she made the best of the situation. Also now everyone knows that the Emotions whistles are pre recorded/lipped. Anyway I can't wait to see her and Lionel in concert in a few months. (Sunday 1 January 2017; 5:49)

Camille Cabala and 5H (70,159) by Tevin from USA Just thought I'd mention it since 5th Harmony are fans of Mariah, and they have been talked about on this board before. But did you guys hear that Camilla Cabala has left 5th Harmony? (Wednesday 21 December 2016; 1:18)

Re: Beacon (69,956) (69,962) by Tevin from USA This is going to be my first Mariah concert I'm going to, she better be on time, because some of us have to get up early for work the next day. Lol. (Thursday 15 December 2016; 3:21)

The Voice Miley (68,826) by Tevin from USA Did you guys watch The Voice top 10? Miley picked "Without You" for her team member, and she gave props to Mariah. (Wednesday 30 November 2016; 5:29)

Re: Why Mariah is the way she is (68,516) (68,555) by Tevin from USA Hey Mandy I understand your point of view. I really don't care how Mariah acts in her life, it's her life and in reality does not affect me. I know she went through more then we will ever know, and I do hope she finds true happiness in life. But I do expect one thing from her, that she has not given in a long time at least since 2010, and that's to get up on stage and sing, sing her heart out, with no smoke and mirrors, but with imperfections and reflections, and with passion. I just want her to sing. For being considered the greatest vocalist in the world, is that really to much to ask? Like I said, I just hope she is happy, it really does pain me when you see that look on her face when you realize that she realizes she can't sing like she used to, and lately I've been seeing that look on her face more and more. I honestly think she is not lazy as some have said, I think she has just lost her passion. I mean imagine you woke up one day and for a whole week you sung in front of people and you had the same exact voice and vocal skill as 1994-96 Mariah. The next week you wake up to sing in front of the same people and you sound like 2014 Rockefeller or 2015 Japan tour Mariah, and knowing you can never go back. I know these are extreme examples and Mariah still sings good (Infamous was great) but I hope you see my point. (Tuesday 22 November 2016; 5:07)

Re: Click like on this if you won't be watching MW (68,515) (68,554) by Tevin from USA Good observations Andrew. But I don't think Mariah started off with such a big ego and waco as some people have called it. Have you ever seen Mariah perform VOL at the Apollo theater? Talk about stage fright, she kept her eyes closed for most of the performance, and she messed up her lead up to the line "turned out to be" because she opened her eyes and was in shock with how the crowed was going crazy over the amazing vocal run she just unleashed. That's the Mariah I missed, the one who walked on stage with something to prove, and left thinking she should have given even more. Anyway I do think Glitter changed Mariah, ever since then even doing here comeback, she always had this glossy look behind her eyes (maybe I'm reading to much into this lol), anyway stressful and tramadic events in peoples lives can cause havoc on a person mental state. I'm not saying this is true of Mariah, because we don't know her personally, but with the way she has been acting lately, who knows? I will just hope for the best. Also for some new music.

Re: Mariah Carey One Sweet Day is saved (68,424) (68,471) by Tevin from USA Thanks for the info webmaster. (Saturday 19 November 2016; 2:55)

Re: Mariah's World vs VH1 Divas Holiday (68,385) (68,425) by Tevin from USA I just kept thinking of when Busta Ryhmes told the dj to turn the music down, "So we can hear Mariah better". The look on her poor face was like, "Is this fool serious right not?" Lol but I'm sure Mariah knows to bring her A game. (Friday 18 November 2016; 1:55)

Re: Mariah Carey One Sweet Day is saved (68,383) (68,424) by Tevin from USA Thank you for the correction webmaster, I must have read the info wrong online, so did Boys To Men [sic] have a number one that was dethroned by OSD, instead of it dethroning OSD? [Webmaster: Nope. "Fantasy" (8 weeks, Mariah Carey) was dethroned by "Exhale (Shoop Shoop)" (1 week, Whitney Houston), which was dethroned by "One Sweet Day".] (Friday 18 November 2016; 1:49)

Re: Mariah Carey One Sweet Day is saved (68,380) (68,383) by Tevin from USA I agree mimi l. OSD would have lasted number 1 even longer on the Billboard charts had Boys To Men [sic] delayed there [sic] next single which knocked OSD off its throne. [Webmaster: Not true. "One sweet day" was replaced by "Because you loved me" by Celine Dion. Boyz II Men next number one was in 1997 with "4 Seasons of loneliness", which replaced "Honey" by Mariah Carey.] (Wednesday 16 November 2016; 22:54)

Re: Mariah Carey One Sweet Day is saved (68,331) (68,346) by Tevin from USA What song was close to beating it? (Wednesday 16 November 2016; 3:29)

Re: Mariah and Patti (2013 Black Girls Rock) (68,201) (68,224) by Tevin from USA That's funny. Mariah is a legend and a diva but she knows her place lol, always listen to mother. (Friday 11 November 2016; 5:36)

Re: Alicia Keys (68,179) (68,189) by Tevin from USA Speaking of a changing voice, even though it happens to men (usually they lose power and richness as they age) but I always wonder how female singers deal with the voice changing because listening to a lot of female singers, they [...] to have the same problem as men but also added on top of that most of [...] voices get deeper. I love [...] by the way. (Thursday 10 November 2016; 5:06)

Re: Patti Labelle (68,181) (68,188) by Tevin from USA Didnt Mariah sing and nail part of "If only you knew" back in 98 for a tribute to [...]. I thought she song that with a montage of [...]. It [...] be nice if she would do the same thing again, but I [...] it because people would probably compare it to her original live version. (Thursday 10 November 2016; 5:02)

Re: Unheard vocals - Anytime You Need A Friend (67,827) (67,835) by Tevin from USA I think maybe this is the unfaded ending to the original song. Anyway it sounds heavenly. (Wednesday 2 November 2016; 2:52)

Re: 1997 versus 2016 (67,482) (67,506) by Tevin from USA Yes I agree with you Mimi I, minus the boob job she looks exactly the same. I swear women never ages. (Wednesday 26 October 2016; 1:00)

Re: Your own private concert (66,589) (66,591) by Tevin from USA 1. Melt away 2. Butterfly 3. Someday 4. Till the end of time 5. Do you think of me (Thursday 22 September 2016; 22:52)

Re: Glitter debacle (66,330) (66,373) by Tevin from USA Thanks B for the info, I knew at certain parts it sounds like Ashanti is singing and not J Lo. I thought I was just going crazy all these years. Did Ashanti ever comment on this? (Saturday 17 September 2016; 3:04)

Re: Does Mariah get a double-standard? (66,329) (66,335) by Tevin from USA Yes Mariah gets and deserves a double standard because Mariah is better than those women, and she has the undeniable talent to back it up, while those women has to use gimics to futher there careers. Not saying she cant be sexy but she shouldn't have to sacrifice class for it. She hadn't in the past and she shouldn't have to do it now. (Friday 16 September 2016; 5:08)

Re: New Insta pics (66,289) (66,307) by Tevin from USA Amen. (Thursday 15 September 2016; 3:50)

Vocal issue with other singers (66,165) by Tevin from USA So we all know that many singers have been suffering from vocal issues from, Ed Sharron to Adele, to Araina (?). But I was looking up singers on YouTube and I came across Leona Lewis who I haven't heard in a while, and even though she sounds good her voice, transition, measaliums are no where near as good as they were before, even her fans in the comment section has been talking about this. Anyway I wanted to bring up this point because people get on Mariah for sing only for about a decade (I'm counting from 1988 when she started recording) to 1997-98, before having serious vocal problems but they act like she is the only one. Leona Lewis has been singing about the same time span 2006-2016 and her voice doesn't nearly the same at all. How Mariah sounded from Daydream to Rainbow is basiclly how Leona is sounding now. Hopefully her vocals will improve. I know stress played a big part on her voice problems and im sure it did the same with Mariah. Anyway I hope she can come back strong like Mariah did. And I just wanted to make a point that Mariah isn't the only one the peaked early in their career. (Monday 12 September 2016; 4:01)
