Bryan Tanaka (104,101)
by Robert-Anthony from United States
(Friday 17 November 2023; 23:13) | | |
There is one thing you can say about MC is that she doesn't tolerate any type of wrong doing by anyone in her life or who works for her. She will give you the boot quicker than you can say I am sorry. Big Jim Wright was replaced by Daniel Moore without explanation. Hopefully, after the Christmas concerts she will work hard in the studio like she did during the Memoirs and MIAM eras. I would love for MC release a hot album in 2024 even with the state of her voice right now.  |

There's a rumour that Bryan Tanaka was arrested a few months ago in Brazil for his involvement in a scam several years ago (pre-Mariah). Not sure if it's true or completely made up, but that would explain his absence recently and subsequent removal from her Instagram. Or, they may have simply broken up. It happens.
As for the Christmas concerts, I'm not even going to waste my time watching the videos. It's the same thing we see every year. Like you all, I fear for Mariah's wellbeing and whatever she is battling. But continuing the charade is not helping anyone. The truth will come out one day I suppose. |

Can Mariah beat The Beatles? (104,100)

| If she's scared to take it, Taylor Swift will. She seems more fearless (no pun). |

| I think Mariah could absolutely best The Beatles, but I remember her saying in an interview years back that she's afraid to eclipse their standing because people would throw a fit. She mentioned things were already heated enough when she surpassed Elvis. If Mariah got credit on BBE, and her feature on Unforgettable with French Montana were the main, standard versions, plus Migrate being single 2 from EMC2, and Loverboy Firecracker version getting a proper push, she'd be there. |

| The comments accusing him on his insta says it happened during this summer, I may be wrong, but apparently it's wire fraud. Hate to say this but Mariah needs to stay away from him as far away as possible. |

3 biggest feature shames (104,097)
by Matty from Vancouver Canada
(Friday 17 November 2023; 19:38) | | |
I love the Westlife version of Against All Odds and would have taken them over the 98 Degrees boy band colab with TGIFY. Westlife didn't fully land in Canada, so maybe it's because it was one of my only real exposure to them that I like that version so much.
Instead, I'd like to suggest When Christmas Comes with John Legend. I love that feature and video so much, it's everything Christmas to me and should have been the version of MCIIY. Plus John is so darn cute especially playing on the keys.  |

| I think she can, if she want to. The Billboard Hot 100 points are so low. It's only consistently high during the Christmas seasons, which is a Mariah season. So if you're doing the math if Mariah actually wants to take it with a really good song, she can. I can't wait for the Usher collab. Maybe that will do the trick. |

Emotionless: Mariah's face is totally stiff (104,095)
by Edward from USA
(Friday 17 November 2023; 18:08) | | |
| I won't personally go on a diatribe about the first concert. At least she's playing it safe with the few parts she's singing live. She's definitely not lipping 99%, but she's lipping a huge chunk of the concert, I would say anything that requires any nominal belting is being lipped. I'm concerned about her well-being though. It is as if she's going through the motions, as if her body is there, but her soul is not. I really hope she has some great support system around her. Her twins still need her around for many years to come. |

I agree with her being stiff, hello that's been her case since Memoirs. But she's not 99% lipping. This is the problem with group pileups, we get carried away, start exaggerating and it becomes free for all. I'm sure its possible to criticize her and still be truthful, without throwing everything but the kitchen sink.
Anyway, this is the start of the season, and per usual, I can already feel the lambs sharpening their knives. Carry on. |

| The Virgin Mary kinda outfit is iconic, the religious imaginary always works (Madonna, Beyoncé etc and now Mariah is using it too), it looks beautiful on her. That being said, it's sad to watch her lipping 99% of the show. It's not that she's lipping the climaxes as she used to do, now she's lipping 99% of each song. She's stiff as a rock. She's unable to convey any emotion at all after the face surgery. I don't understand the need of exposing herself like this. If she's unable to sing, why go on tour? It's not that she doesn't dance, she doesn't sing either and she doesn't even try to pretend to be singing live. The only thing she does is stand there looking beautiful and stiff. I Hope she's ok but obviously she's not. I love you Mariah no matter what I will always support your music, your catalogue is untouchable and unmatchable, and so is your legacy, but please stop draggin' it. Don't go on tour. You have been blessing us for decades now. Focus on writing another book, songs or poetry, or on other projects less stressing or demanding, and only go out the and sing when you're really ready and prepared for it. |

Article: Mariah Carey roasted for looking "stiff and awkward" (104,092)
by Betty from Canada

I hate people who complain about stupid things like that. Mariah is a normal human being and not every day will be her best day, can't they just imagine themselves going through something difficult in their own lives and have people complain about their so not great days.  |

We need to be kind to Mariah, ok? (104,091)
by Robert-Anthony from United States
(Friday 17 November 2023; 10:48) | | |
| MC hasn't been the same since she lost Nick. Rewind back to 2009 when MC appeared on America's Got Talent to perform Obsessed. That appearance showed a sparkle in her eyes that we haven't seen in a long time. She was a woman in love performing on her man's show. Nick will always be the man she thought would be with her forever. |

There [is] something very wrong with Mariah as of late. Her interviews have been low energy, not interesting at all, she seems apathetic, has no inspiration, she seems dead inside, her eyes have now sparkles. I have seen some of the footage from her first concert, I can't even tell if she is singing or not, no facial expressions, no nothing.
People of this board, we have sometimes wondered if Mariah secretly visits this board, and if that is the case, no wonder she is in such a bad place right now. I feel bad for the harsh things I might have said in the past, all though my post are mostly positive.
Our girl is not in a good place mentaly right now. I am [sincerely] concerned about her wellbeing. Let's do her a favour and be kind and understanding, she deserves that from the Lambily, if she can't get any praise here, where will she get it?
Please guys, let's pause the sh*t posting and just send her our blessings and gratitude for a while, Mariah is hurting, it's obvious.
I hope Mariah gets the rest and relaxation between shows that she needs. If continuing a stellar career has taken such a toll, I would quit, take a long hiatus, it's not worth it Mariah. Get better Mariah, we love you, don't you ever forget.
My last post was a bit [dramatic], but still true. Just wanted to ad, Mariah's voice is in better shape than in years, sounds 2016'ish, and it seems like she has taken the lambily's advice and started to sing the songs in her lower register. I think it's actually mostly live, she rarely tries to hit high notes, and the ones she "hits" are mostly lipped. It was very refreshing to hear her just sing the songs with the voice that she got, the concert just feels so much more real and authentic. Continue like this, Mariah, I'd much rather listen to a whole concert with you singing in the middle to lower register, than faking the upper register and barely sing a note.
But what is going on with Mariah besides that it's clear she has rested her voice, I don't know. Her recent face lift is obvious, her face doesn't move anymore, it has turned completely stiff, not a motion in sight, not even her eyebrows move when she sings, and that used to be her signature face movements. Maybe she's on extremely strong pain killers after all the surgeries that makes her heavily sedated, I have never seen her energy this low. |

As always beautiful written Mara. You described it so well with the "auto pilot". I also think her inner sparkle is missing. Last year it was there and she was shining. Yes, maybe she's just tired. I hope she's okay. I also wondered that there are no new pics with Bryan. Of course it's private but usually they post pics during Thanksgiving and the Christmas season. We'll see. I hope she's ready for the concerts and can enjoy it with the lambily.  |

Her sparkle is a miss this year and I can feel it almost like the first year at the Beacon where she geared up singing Hero and she was separated from Nick. I wonder if her and Bryan took a break to see how things went and decided to officially end the relationship recently. I just hope she is ok. This is her time and she always has that sparkle in her eye and seeing her almost blank makes me sad. Maybe she is just tired of this and not in the mood this season. It happens to all of us. But as a day one 1990 fan, M always wears her heart on her sleeve and we can read her better than anyone else. We love you Mariah - go out there and have some amazing shows making amazing memories with your beautiful children by your side. |

It's a darn shame that the following tracks didn't have the features included on the official album versions:
1) UOMF - Nicki Minaj
2) Whenever you call - Brian McKnight
3) Against all odds/Take a look at me now - Westlife
There are a few features I could have done without on the album release, these three are ones I wish were included on the official album release every time I listen to the respective albums in full. |

She should have stuck with the cosmetics, she's always had great skin. Through her weight changes, the one thing she always had is great skin. Look at Ariana who is making hundreds of millions on cosmetics.
Mariah has always been product hopping. She didn't stick to just one. |

| It's always seemed like a shame to me that Mariah's side project always have a short shelf life. Once they've been around for a few months, either the contract for those items discontinues and she moves on to the next or she loses interest altogether once it stops becoming lucrative. Her perfume lines (not including the lollipop bling lines, but the first one for sure) could have been a long term product for her, like Britney's or Beyonce's. |

Yes Will. I saw your post right after mine and it's nice to see we both are getting the same vibes here. It's not easy when you are with someone that long and they become a part of you and your entire life and your kids life. The holidays are always the worst times for a loss or a breakup. Imagine being Mariah Carey dealing with that when you are the season. I feel for her. I hope I'm wrong but that's my vibe. I think we are def on the same page. My other post was actually meant to reply to Brad before.*  |
