Lipsync in the studio (85,450) by Lafa from Sweden Does Mariah lipsync when she records in the studio, too? (Tuesday 30 October 2018; 22:36)

Re: Track list snippets (85,445) (85,449) by 123 from USA I think he produced "A No No" which is my favorite of the 4 tracks so far. She is singing in her full voice/mid range and her tone is very Rainbow era on that track. The sample has been overused but the track is good. (Tuesday 30 October 2018; 22:04)

Re: Voice appearance (85,442) (85,448) by Randy from USA I'm going to say this as gingerly as possible, as I am always called negative and people claim I hate Mariah. She couldn't sing one note? And I'm not talking about getting on stage for a performance. I mean every single contestant and judge called her one of the greatest vocalists of all time, and yet she couldn't vocally demonstrate what she wanted them to do with certain runs, words, phrases, notes? Kelly did. And MC's commentary wasn't vocally specific in most cases. Someone saying I need to hear your heart is not helpful. I was disappointed in the two hours of pretty much no vocal help from someone everyone considered a vocal icon. I will admit Dee and Gee, she was very humble and she looked amazing. She gave the appearance that I would expect from a kind supermodel, not from who everyone on the show agreed was one of the best vocalist who ever lived. (Tuesday 30 October 2018; 21:11)

Re: Track list snippets (85,444) (85,447) by B from USA Mariah was young and naive when she said that. She was also being called a studio manufactured artist who was incapable of replicating her vocals live. At this stage in her career I don't mind if she lypsyncs. I'm loving all of the fan uploaded videos of slaying her Asian tour. (Tuesday 30 October 2018; 20:55)

Re: Track list snippets (85,445) (85,446) by RibbonB from USA Lol, dang B. JD can make some gems though. (Tuesday 30 October 2018; 20:29)

Re: Track list snippets (85,440) (85,445) by B from USA I'm hoping his contributions didn't make the album. (Tuesday 30 October 2018; 18:52)

Re: Track list snippets (85,438) (85,444) by Bill from the UK She also said she’d never lip sync but, well, here we are. (Tuesday 30 October 2018; 18:33)

Re: For pure indulgence... (85,436) (85,443) by RibbonB from USA She won't, or I seriously doubt it. I doubt we get Ellen, Oprah or The View and those were her mainstays. I doubt she wants to answer questions about the last three years or so. Anything is possible, but she has been away from mainstream daytime sit down tv since Infinity and Stella and past and present snakes in the grass. Too much "splaining" to do. Maybe she would on a dare, I dare Mimi to walk the Wendy gauntlet. Wendy would be honored and play it up. (Tuesday 30 October 2018; 18:19)

Re: Voice appearance (85,439) (85,442) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada I suppose there are those who believe Mariah is just self centered. Playing up the diva image over the years hasn't helped that, but I've never believed the image is a true representation of the genuine person. We got to see it on The Voice, and I loved it. I hope she's on route to showing more of herself to the public, because she deserves to be seen in her vulnerability and strength, using her gifts. That's what people connect to, when you're just being yourself without all the extras. Props. Well done Mariah. (Tuesday 30 October 2018; 18:15)

Re: Sit your ... down (85,437) (85,441) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Me too Lucia. I love her, and will always and I accept the changes, but I don't pretend they aren't there. (Tuesday 30 October 2018; 17:58)

Re: Track list snippets (85,438) (85,440) by RibbonB from USA True, GTFO is a nod to EDM. But it will be interesting to see what those other songs actually sound like. I suspect JD will have at least two of those. He is still in this project isn't he? (Tuesday 30 October 2018; 17:54)

Voice appearance (85,439) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) I like what I see so far a genuine, down to earth person who still enjoys her craft and wants to help others live out and achieve their dream. This is the Mariah the world needs to become acquainted with. (Tuesday 30 October 2018; 16:56)

Re: Track list snippets (85,427) (85,438) by B from USA She also said she would never embrace EDM and yet she's worked with Nintendo85 and Skrillex. (Tuesday 30 October 2018; 16:49)

Re: Sit your ... down (85,434) (85,437) by Licia from USA She did sound good in these clips, but there is definitely vocal deterioration. You can't be upset because people are pointing out a fact. I'm a day one 1990 fan and although I've accepted her changing vocals, I will not act as if there isn't any damage to her voice. You can hear it. (Tuesday 30 October 2018; 16:49)

For pure indulgence... (85,436) by Matt from Australia I would absolutely love for Mariah to sit down with Wendy to promote this album. Why not give her the whole hour? They've always been so fun together and the radio interviews were epic. Wendy's said a lot about Mariah, but she's such a fan. By the way, if anyone knows where I can find a copy of the multi-hour long radio interview they did during Charmbracelet era I'd be forever grateful. (Tuesday 30 October 2018; 16:46)

Re: Caution standard edition tracklist (85,430) (85,435) by B from USA Would an album be a Mariah Carey album without big vocal moments? If the tracklist that leaked is authentic Portrait, For The Moment, and Truthfully are ballads with big vocals. I heard an instrumental of For The Moment and it sounds similiar to Right To Dream which I have a new found affinity for. (Tuesday 30 October 2018; 16:43)

Sit your ... down (85,434) by Dav from Ireland Congratulations Mariah on a strong performance. "Vocal deterioration?" Sure Jan. (Tuesday 30 October 2018; 15:07)

Re: Lips? Lol (85,431) (85,433) by Edward from USA I just think that Mariah has abused her voice so much that now it's just a little too late to expect her to quit drinking for two days and regain her voice. The woman is clearly struggling while singing, even when half of her singing is done by her backup singer and pre-recorderd tracks. Her voice could get in decent shape, but it's going to take time and work. At least most fans have gotten used to praising anything she does, lips or not do, I guess unless she sounds like a Coqui, which is a frog from Puerto Rico that can hit beautiful high notes, she would still be selling concerts and having an audience. For the moment, I'll take her word and enjoy the studio artist she's become. She definitely still sounds good on record. (Tuesday 30 October 2018; 13:05)

Re: Lips? Lol (85,431) (85,432) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Mariah's problem isn't that she does not take care of her voice. She actually does to some extent, hence the humidifiers and tea and short periods of vocal rest (although having very talkative and inquisitive kids does not make that easy). Her real problem is that she loves her alcohol and late night parties way too much yet thinks that her humidifiers and hot tea and brief rests can offset the ill effects of her bad habits. In Whitney's documentary released earlier this year, even people she's worked have said that Whitney had issues with her voice, although there were rare instances where it sounded really magical and they'd have it for a few hours and then it'd be gone again. The period referred to was from 2000-2004, so around Whitney's late 30s to early 40s. It's possible that Mariah has the same issue. But it's still worth noting that Whitney smoked, drugged and drank her voice to the ground for years. Hers had undergone considerably greater abuse than Mariah's if we were to compare their lifestyles. Mariah at 35 and Whitney at the same age kinda sound on par in terms of capabilities (just compare TEOM and My Love Is Your Love to their respective predecessors and then to each other). Celine is known to be very caring of he voice. Even Barbra said that when Celine was recording Let's Talk About Love, in which Tell Him was a track, she would not speak for prolonged periods just to perserve her voice. I believe such discipline is still with her to this day. And she lips way better than Mariah. (Tuesday 30 October 2018; 12:36)

Re: Lips? Lol (85,419) (85,431) by Shezz from Pk Sadly it is true. Even though here tone is getting a little better (at times), she cant hold notes and needs to keep cutting them short, hence the ey ey eys and uhh uhh uhhs. You can see her try and go for some belts and notes and immdiately cut them short. I hope the problem is reversible or fixable. She has extensive touring planned, I pray it doesn't get worse in time. She was nailing the Emotions intro during the SSF tour and you can see her try and then hold back now which is painful and sad to watch. I can actually understand the lipping at the major award shows and the pre recorded whistles now because try as she may, she very often can not be sure if she can do it. If it were just the drinking that was causing it I'm sure she'd change things up. It is deeper than that. Love and the best for her always. (Tuesday 30 October 2018; 04:50)

Re: Caution standard edition tracklist (85,428) (85,430) by Edward from USA I guess "Caution" is going to be similar to "E=MC2" not necessarily because of the similar content, but because the album is going to be full of potential singles or play as a greatest hits album. I think "Caution" has accomplished that with the tracks I've heard so far. I like GTFO, love "WY", and enjoy "TD". I think this album is going to be lacking big vocal moments though, but it's Ok, "With You" doesn't have them, and I still love it. (Tuesday 30 October 2018; 01:34)

Re: Track list snippets (85,427) (85,429) by RibbonB from USA I sure didn't but I liked some of them. (Tuesday 30 October 2018; 01:28)

Re: Caution standard edition tracklist (85,417) (85,428) by Andrew from UK Talking of E=MC2, I was thinking today or my dwindling excitement for Corshugh ugh ugh ugh ugh uhn. And I was thinking of all the previous album releases and my differing levels of excitement. I think I was most excited about Rainbow. It was at that 99 Pop pinnacle moment, I'd heard Mariah showcasing the album in Atlantic 252, Heartbreaker was pop genius and I was feeling the fun from the sombre seriousness of Butterfly. I was a bit disappointed with it. But I was also wet with excitement at E=MC2 and when I got it back to work from a break I thought it was the best thing she had done. I still think that sometimes. I listened to it constantly. Because. It. Was. Fun. Corshugh ugh ugh ugh ugh uhn is going to have to have some stellar tracks in there together repeat plays. It's not exactly, well, fun, so far. (Tuesday 30 October 2018; 00:29)

Track list snippets (85,427) by RibbonB from USA B. 6-10 have got to be fake outs. I can't imagine Mimi going that techno or whatever. [Webmaster: You didn't read the disclaimer: "These are not official songs from the album except 'GTFO', 'With You', 'The Distance', and 'A No No'. This is the tracklist of 'Caution'. We don't know the real music yet so I used the songs I usually use for vlogging."] (Monday 29 October 2018; 23:27)

Re: Caution standard edition tracklist (85,420) (85,426) by Bobby A from United States Maybe a 10 track Caution album story for November 16th and then when the Caution Tour is in full swing she will re-release Caution part 2 to push the album and tour sales. I just don't see JD's aggressive tracks apart of this 10-track release. Who knows what her team has planned in the coming weeks for the actual 16th release? Maybe a Target Exclusive CD/DVD with extra tracks and Making of Caution DVD or even a Deluxe Version with extra tracks at all retailers. Remember she did tweet last week the sneak peek of the making of The Distance as if more was to come on the 16th. The 10-track release must be telling a story. It begins with GTFO and ends with Truthfully. What we have heard so far is kind of a synopsis of what has happen in MC's life in the last 4 years. The other 6 remaining tracks are going to be very revealing to our ears. I can't wait to hear the Caution story on the 16th on my way to Nashville. (Monday 29 October 2018; 22:39)
