Mariah's in trouble (80,157) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Can we please stop with all the nonsense. Bad enough she has a had a crazy year and for fans to be jumping on the negative bandwagon does not help matters. Honestly at this point anyone who is going to feed into the BS you are no better than the actual doubters themselves. (Sunday 31 December 2017; 18:20)

Re: Mariah's in trouble (80,148) (80,156) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Why are you giving out these for free when you can make money writing conspiracy theories (right?). Don't waste your talent here and then get dragged by Special K. You have a gift, like Mariah's voice. But seriously thought don't you always say Mariah is super smart and knows what she is doing then how does she conviniently have no idea this time along? (Sunday 31 December 2017; 16:27)

Re: Mariah's in trouble (80,152) (80,155) by Licia from USA Special K I wish I could like your posts a hundred times over. I couldn't do anything but laugh at that nonsense. Lol. (Sunday 31 December 2017; 15:55)

You can do it Mariah (80,154) by Billy from England, UK Good luck to Mariah tonight. I hope everything goes to plan and she shows the world who is the best. Happy new year all. (Sunday 31 December 2017; 15:21)

Re: Mariah's in trouble (80,152) (80,153) by Edward from USA Special K, you deserve you very own 16-inch pony tail for that post, lol. I completely agree with you, these conspiracy theories are ridiculous. Mariah will be just fine, it ain't that deep. (Sunday 31 December 2017; 15:14)

Re: Mariah's in trouble (80,148) (80,152) by Special K from USA Calm your paranoid ass down. It ain't that deep. Trust, DCP and Mimi want this performance to be epic. Well, at least not have any issues. An awesome, successful performance makes way better headlines in the press kicking off the New Year and shines a positive light on both entities. That mess you talking about is past ridiculous. (Sunday 31 December 2017; 14:42)

Re: Hero (80,144) (80,151) by Licia from USA I can see all that, but I still don't like the choice. I know there's nothing I can do about it. Anyway despite me not agreeing with one of her song choices I still want her to have a great performance.That's really the only thing I care about. Plus I'll probably be so wasted I'll think she's singing a totally different song anyway. (Sunday 31 December 2017; 05:46)

Shake It Off (80,150) by jaker20 from US Just awesome bop. MC's music keeps getting better. You miss them for awhile and you listen to them again and they're pop genius. (Sunday 31 December 2017; 04:17)

Re: Fans (80,147) (80,149) by SM from Citizen of the World Great post. (Sunday 31 December 2017; 03:24)

Mariah's in trouble (80,148) by Nikki from usa She has no idea. DCP wanted her last year when they couldn't get a headliner and were in the middle of a 1 billion dollar deal with Chinese owned Wanda Group. They needed eyeballs and stats and got them. It wouldn't mean much when they were selling to someone else and wouldn't be responsible for future performances. But, China is familiar with Mariah. She even broke the record for the most concerts by an American artist in China with her Elusive tour. Wanda Group backed out of the sale in January. Now, DCP has to deal with the fact no singer or musician wants to risk being their headliner. DCP needs everyone to believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that Mariah's a screw up or kiss their butt goodbye. Mariah will be the ultimate patsy this year. DCP is already working this angle with the headlines claiming she didn't do soundcheck when there's pictures that prove she did and still a video where Ryan himself says so. This isn't about Mariah redeeming herself. There's nothing to redeem - she's been singing live for 27 years. Yet, all the headlines are skewed to blaming her 100% with no mention of DCP's responsibility in this whole mess at all. Last year they screwed her for money. This year will be for revenge and to save face. (Sunday 31 December 2017; 02:47)

Fans (80,147) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Of course as fans we have become tired of the same some songs being performed but this New Years Rockin Eve is not about the fans it's for casual listeners and the general public who can give a damn about Mariah. Also as I mentioned before Hero was chosen because of its universal message and with all the terrorism domestically and internationally. Also on a personal note with all the missteps and the madness that was Mariah's world in 2017 I am sure she had to refer to hero herself for a source of encouragement and uplifting. So I am sure tomorrow's performance will have a special place in MC's heart. (Sunday 31 December 2017; 00:29)

Re: Triumphant (80,145) (80,146) by Billy from England, UK I agree I am fed up of the same old songs lol. She has 100s to choose from and I do love Triumphant too. (Saturday 30 December 2017; 22:45)

Triumphant (80,145) by enwar00 from usa She can perform the Triumphant pulse remix. Or at least the intro and verse and chorus. That's upbeat and festive for NYE right, and still keeps with the uplifting Hero theme. It can happen right? Lol. I do love that remix. One of my favorite remixes. (Saturday 30 December 2017; 20:40)

Re: Hero (80,139) (80,144) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Like it or not Hero is a song that is pretty universal when you mention Mariah's name. This NYE performance is not about people who are fans it's about the general public who are not fans. And shifting public perception after the last NYE can see why it was chosen even if it would be one of the last tracks I would choose. (Saturday 30 December 2017; 19:23)

Re: There's Got To Be a Way / Hero (80,142) (80,143) by Gilles from Malta Even if it is just a sweet fantasy that I do share with you it is true that "There's got to be a way" can only be sung by a Hero hitmaker. (Saturday 30 December 2017; 18:55)

There's Got To Be a Way / Hero (80,142) by T from USA This would be the greatest two song combination for this particular new years. It would remind everyone of the Mariah they fell in love with. (Saturday 30 December 2017; 16:07)

Re: Setlist (80,136) (80,141) by Licia from USA That's going to be me. (Saturday 30 December 2017; 13:22)

Emancipation: Part III (80,140) by Weston from United States I think that Mimi should market her next album as her 3rd part of her Emancipation. I mean, it would be a new chapter for her career. And it would remind people of the light that shined on her in the 2005 and 2008 years of #1 success. Led by a catchy, uptempo lead single as a firestarter (ILT nostalgia), it just might work in her favor. Especially with all the great press that she has been receiving lately. NYE: Part II, we're all waiting for you. (Saturday 30 December 2017; 11:52)

Hero (80,139) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) When you think of New Years Rockin Eve you think of fun and upbeat but when I think about the task at hand Hero is the perfect candidate here a song with universal appeal with the message of overcoming with everything that MC has experienced this year and with everything going on in our country and world as far as racism, terrorism and other social issues affecting the world as a whole. Hero serves as the perfect message needed right now. Also this performance is more for the masses rather than the fans. I will not complain about the situation I am just appreciative that MC has been granted this opportunity again. (Saturday 30 December 2017; 05:41)

Re: Hero? (80,134) (80,138) by Mara from United States Hero is not my choice. Just not a NYE feel good type song. ILT, Heartbreaker with the Guess Who's Back and Jay coming out is a sure party starter. Fantasy is an automatic feel good song. I actually like the idea of her showcasing vocals with My All and then going into ILT and her iconic pose. Anything but Hero. At this point I think even the non lambs or "general public" are sick of that one. (Saturday 30 December 2017; 05:35)

Hero? (80,137) by Special K from USA Well, maybe Mariah is singing Hero as a tribute to all of the lives that were lost this year during these horrific massacres (Manchester, Las Vegas) and hurricanes. 2017 was a shitty year when it came natural disasters and random acts of terrorism. I agree with Licia and Jade, I'm really not trying to hear no Hero because I know I will be straight faded on the bubbly and patron, lol. (Saturday 30 December 2017; 04:18)

Re: Setlist (80,122) (80,136) by Lila from United States Now, all I can envision are emotional drunks sliding down walls to sit on the floor, while blubbering and drunk dialing friends to thank them for XYZ deed(s). The friends don't know what the hell is going on, of course. (Saturday 30 December 2017; 03:05)

Re: Hero? (80,134) (80,135) by SM from Citizen of the World It's possible she could do parts of songs and it ends with Hero, I mean if Ryan was like "She's performing 'It's like that'" nobody will really have a clue unless they are lambs. (Saturday 30 December 2017; 02:20)

Re: Hero? (80,128) (80,134) by Tyler from USA This isn't a performance for lambs but the general public. As much as I'm over Hero, I'm glad that she's playing it safe. It's also 9 degrees in NYC. I want her to stand behind a heater, prove she can hit a note or two, and then call a day. (Saturday 30 December 2017; 01:25)

Re: Setlist (80,126) (80,133) by Andrew from UK I agree with you. And you and you and you and you, and you and you and you and you (y' y' you you you). I would possibly rather watch her badly lipsync to the original track a thousand times over whilst [censored] with sandpaper than hear that live version of Hero one more time. She really needs to get a grip. If she reminded people of her back catalogue they might actually, um, I dunno, buy it? But hey, as long as everyone gets to hear that she "wrote this song"; that'll make people like her again, right? How utterly dull. And that's the troo-ooth. I ain't gon lie bout dat.
