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.

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.

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.

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.

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)

Re: iHeart (83,924) (83,926) by Tevin from USA I agree. We know the parts she lipped, the parts she song with the backtrack, but she sang pretty good and live for most of the entire performance minus a few notes and climax parts. I thought GTFO was a bit of a mess, but it was her first time performing this live. But ABMB, was awesome. The crowd was feeling it. She walked a long way by herself lol, and the start talking to the crowd in the black coat reminded me of her Daydream concert. I was so proud of her. So far minus the usual small number of haters, she is getting great words and reviews from everyone. Now here comes my fan opinion. 10-10 because I can't remember a live performance yet along a short concert set in front of a live crowd where she put together a good solid performance. 8-10 for me personally, Mariah miss and lows sounded good but she has got to work on or retrain herself to be able to belt and not shout. Now I wish I would have went to Vegas. (Saturday 22 September 2018; 14:44)

Re: iHeart (83,924) (83,925) by Chicago Lamb from USA The negativity here is just par for the course. She sounded fine and looked like she was having fun. Peace. (Saturday 22 September 2018; 14:08)

iHeart (83,924) by Jenny from South Africa She sounded amazing in my opinion. Her voice hasn't sounded this good in years. I'm very happy for her. I haven't posted a link on here before so I hope I did it correctly. Sorry just wanted to add that link was for the proper broadcast video. (Saturday 22 September 2018; 12:21)

Re: iHeart (83,920) (83,923) by Lee from UK At this point, Mariah is breaking my heart. Why is she still recording songs that she can't sing live and then trying to "sing" them live accompanied by a backing track. It was painfully obvious on It's Like That where the track kicked in. I just wish she would stop shouting her songs. They were not originally recorded in a shouty voice so I don't get what the problem is. If she has a microphone, could she not just sing normally and let the sound engineers increase the volume. Alternatively, could she re-learn how to project without shouting? She didn't do a whole lot of moving (thank the gods) so I don't understand why she was so out of breath. Was her wig too heavy? Sewn on too tight? (Saturday 22 September 2018; 11:43)

Re: iHeart (83,920) (83,922) by Atwood from NY How can you judge a performance on a self made video? Lol, that's just weird. (Saturday 22 September 2018; 11:33)

Re: Voice question (83,913) (83,921) by Licia from USA Why are you like this? Lmao. (Saturday 22 September 2018; 10:28)

iHeart (83,920) by Andrew from UK I don't even need to criticize this surely. What an unmitigated horror of a performance. I just feel bad for her. There is no "current voice". There just is no voice. I feel complete and total sadness. (Saturday 22 September 2018; 09:56)

iHeart Music performance (83,919) by Bobby A from United States Overall MC was good, but what was going on with the backing track to GTFO? The backing track was dragging and kept skipping over certain parts. I really hate the first live performance of GTFO was such a mess. Why did she need a backing track? (Saturday 22 September 2018; 09:14)

Re: Toni Braxton featured? (83,901) (83,918) by Special K from USA I saw Toni Braxton at TAOM concert in Anahiem, Ca. Ashanti was there too just encase anybody cares, lol. (Saturday 22 September 2018; 07:14)

Re: Voice question (83,913) (83,917) by Chicago Lamb from USA Yes she's always had that soft or "whisper register". She started to use it a bit on Daydream in songs like UTS, and OSD. Then when she recorded Butterfly, we got to hear her do it more extensively. (Saturday 22 September 2018; 05:23)

iHeart (83,916) by Tevin from USA So I'm currently watching the live stream for iHeart, and it's nice they keep mentioning Mariah and how they're looking forward to her signing, but they keep talking about all her diva moments. I'm like great here we go again. (Saturday 22 September 2018; 05:19)

Re: voice question (83,915) by Nikki from usa She's singing in falsetto. Which is actually impressive. She did a lot of runs, riffs, and scales in that range. Her agility is on point. She quickly shifted from falsetto to chest voice and back again within a few seconds. Her technique is on fire. Mariah is older so some wear and tear on her voice is to be expected, but she can still sing fine and hit her notes. It just depends on whether or not she follows proper maintenance for her voice and in between performances. If she does it will be fine. If she doesn't than it's going to show.
