Messageboard

Bleakriah at the AMA's (84,642) by Kevyn from Germany I really don't know what to say. Maybe I should keep my mouth shut, because what I have to say, is everything but nice. Her "performance", if you even can call it like that, was exactly what I predicted and wrote here on this messageboard two days ago. Mariah in a cheap looking and way too small dress, just standing stiffly in front of a microphone and pretend to sing her new song. If this is what some Lambs call a "evolved Mariah" then I'm out of it. I neither need the amount of money Mariah has, nor 18 number one songs on the Billboard charts to be able to share my thoughts. That some Lambs dare to say she sung live is absolutley ridiculous. (Wednesday 10 October 2018; 11:08)

Re: The ultimate disgrace (84,636) (84,641) by Shezz from Pk You are completely missing Andrew's point (which often gets lost in his brutal delivery). It was very very disappointing to see our favourite "singer" of all time not even partly attempt to sing With You live. When people like J. Lo and Taylor Swift can make Mimi look bad, it is really sad. I did not hear any parts that didn't sound like the studio version at all and we all know she really can't sing that well now that you'd be fooled to thinking it was the studio version. I think this sums up Andrew's and a lot of the other disappointed lambs' reaction. Why has she even lost the ability to sing her whispery notes live? She could really well during the Sweet Sweet Fantasy tour. (Wednesday 10 October 2018; 10:59)

Re: AMAs (84,638) (84,640) by Luke from United Kingdom Good lord. Who weed on your cornflakes this morning, Bill? (Wednesday 10 October 2018; 10:50)

Re: Music biz today (84,615) (84,639) by MusicfanJ from Germany Great post Deedre. Completely agree with everything. I love to collect cd's, books, movies and so on too. (Lol the three headed-snake, I know this reaction as well.) I need to read the booklet of a cd. The same with the movies. A good movie is worth watching at a cinema. There are people who have 3000 songs downloaded but I bet they never "really" listen to it like if you're turning your stereo on with a cd and take the time to enjoy it. I think that we all agree that the digital things like streaming, downloads etc, didn't give quality to the arts. Everything is available very soon and everywhere. I compare it a bit with food. There's nothing wrong with fast food once in a while but a real cooked meal is another thing. Both makes you full, but the cooked meal you will enjoy and appreciate more.

AMAs (84,638) by Bill from the UK Well my prediction more or less came true: "She will stand there, statuesque, breasts on display, high heels on, and lip the entire song, fidgeting with her diamond encrusted ear piece the whole time (or giving cues to the sound guys that the pre-record is to kick in, whatever you make of it), and yell out 'eh' a couple of times. She will then be hoisted off the stage back to the dressing room so she can down another bottle of Caymus and overdo the shots of Remy. The circus is back in town." I actually was too generous in expecting a live yelled out "eh". Didn't even get that. There will, I fear, come a time when MC is actually booed and jeered off the stage for the continuation of her duping her fans and attendees. Only then, as she's carted off by her backing dancers to the backdrop of a jeering auditorium back to the safeness of her wine glass, will she perhaps realise she needs to change her ways and stop this charade. The gift has been squandered. It's gone. Gone with the wind. That much is apparent. I'd advise her to retire from singing and become a full time songwriter, but if her latest attempts are anything to go by, even that wouldn't render much success. (Wednesday 10 October 2018; 10:39)

My positive spin on the AMAs experience (84,637) by Lexingz from Estonia The choreography was well put together, artistic and sweet, touching and sexy (I mean it). I think her team has created a great platform and safety net for Mariah to actually start singing live at awards shows again since her visuals and style are on point now. Mariah looked slim and pretty. Her red carpet dress was classy perfection. (Wednesday 10 October 2018; 10:25)

Re: The ultimate disgrace (84,629) (84,636) by RD from South Africa How about you GTFO? It is fine to be vocal about your opinion but when it comes to you being insolent to that extent, then you are an embarrassment as a fan. It seems you like old school music and cannot accept the fact that Mariah has evolved with the times, so go listen to Susan Boyle or Joni Mitchell or something. You forget that journalists usually read fan sites like this and you are giving non fans the idea that Mariah's fans hate her and this can create negative press before her album release. You are self projecting as you are actually the embarrassment and not Mariah. You are not even half as talented as Mariah, you don't have 18 number 1 hits or one fraction of her net worth so keep your mouth shut and do not express your views in an uncouth manner. Mariah has grown both personally and musically and it seems that you are stuck in 90s Mariah and cannot move forward. We all love 90s Mariah too but if you cannot accept her current music then don't listen to it and spreading negativity to her true fans. (Wednesday 10 October 2018; 10:10)

Re: The blame game (84,599) (84,635) by Citizen of the World from UK Are there several people who write messages using your account? (Wednesday 10 October 2018; 08:25)

Where's the video? (84,634) by Lara from Middle East Is she gonna use footage from her AMAs performance for the video? Why else it isn't out yet? (Wednesday 10 October 2018; 07:13)

AMA I like the choreo (84,633) by jaker20 from US That is actually her best dancer choreography probably ever. I wonder who created it. The problem is that she's not even part of it lol. That choreography combined with her ABMB iHeart performance then that would have been a good show. Even though she was lipping most of it I didn't completely hate it. And she looks great by the way. (Wednesday 10 October 2018; 06:46)

AMA (84,632) by Myles from CT, USA Visually stunning. But not effective enough to wow. I feel terrible even saying that. I want Mariah to win, but that... am I wrong? What did y’all think? (Wednesday 10 October 2018; 06:06)

"Live" at the AMAs (84,631) by 90sMariah from SG One thing I can't fault Mariah with is her consistency when it comes to performing "live". She has once again showcased her now famous signature Mariah moves (or lack of it): lip-syncing like she's lazily chewing gum, an ensemble two sizes too small and standing there like a bored statue. I mean, I really wasn't expecting much since the song is super boring, but wow - she made the song even more boring I almost dozed off. Lol. I guess "Yay" at least she looked pretty, right? Right? (Wednesday 10 October 2018; 06:04)

AMAs reaction (84,630) by Shezz from Pk To be fair most of us here knew she would lip. Looked pretty. Didn't mind the change in choreography. (Wednesday 10 October 2018; 06:03)

The ultimate disgrace (84,629) by Andrew from UK Thumbs up if you are thoroughly ashamed to be a Mariah Carey fan after that AMA "performance". Everything is sound engineered. Everything is a fake. Everything is a farce. Don't anybody call her a singer. Don't you dare. I have never seen anything so shit in my life. "Don't know what I'm supposed to do?" I have an idea. Quit embarrassing yourself and your fans. What a disgrace. Singer? Singer? More like a [censored] in a dress. Ashamed of my life spent defending this. J.Lo figuratively just said she don't know you either. J.Lo sings better than you. Sound comes out of her mouth. And mine. Dear 1995 Andrew, one day you will sing better than Mariah Carey. (Wednesday 10 October 2018; 04:00)

Re: With You Performance (84,622) (84,628) by Bobby A from United States AMA performance was awesome and safe. With You just reminds me of an album track just like GTFO. Here's to the second single before the album drops or she should just drop the album out of nowhere. Because at this point we all are just wanting MC15. Only time will tell what happens now. (Wednesday 10 October 2018; 03:49)

Re: Iconic Mariah ward show moments (84,619) (84,627) by B from USA It was somewhat similar. (Wednesday 10 October 2018; 02:48)

AMA's (84,626) by B from USA Loved Mariah's performance and she sang live. (Wednesday 10 October 2018; 02:45)

Re: Mike Will made it (84,612) (84,625) by RibbonB from USA Bahahaha, bounce, bounce, bounce. That is a jam. (Wednesday 10 October 2018; 00:47)

Re: (84,582) (84,624) by Bill from the UK I love how you've been red pilled seemingly overnight. Great post. (Tuesday 9 October 2018; 23:28)

Re: BT (84,607) (84,623) by Special K from USA Oh my do I seem that thirsty? (Tuesday 9 October 2018; 22:59)

With You (84,622) by B from USA With You will catch on at radio, slowly but surely. (Tuesday 9 October 2018; 22:32)

Today's performance (84,621) by Lexingz from Estonia I hope Mariah has fun and enjoys performing. Because when she's happy, it shows. I like the song and I'm very much looking forward to seeing what she does with it. (Tuesday 9 October 2018; 22:06)

Re: Mike Will made it (84,608) (84,620) by B from USA Money ($ * / ...) ft. Fabulous should've been the second single. It would've sounded at home on radio with Grande's Problem and Derulo's Trumpets. (Tuesday 9 October 2018; 21:47)

Iconic Mariah ward show moments (84,619) by RibbonB from USA This was a really great award show moment. I loved Mimi in full color and everything else in black and white. Maybe we can expect a stylized moment like this tonight with her new video . Mariah is so cute but funny in "kaniption" mode with her hand going wild. I hope she keeps the moment about her and singing. (Tuesday 9 October 2018; 21:27)

GTFO and With You (84,618) by B from USA I think Mariah intentionally took a minimalistic approach to both GTFO and With You and that by doing so she has made her music more accessible and radio friendly. Minimalism is using repetition of very short phrases that change gradually to create a hypnotic effect. (Tuesday 9 October 2018; 21:14)
