Re: Adele canceling tour (76,803) (76,836) by Will from England Take into account that the majority of Adele's popular songs require her to belt more than half the time. Mariah may record her songs in a higher key, but her songs are a mixtures of belters to softer sung ones, which on occasion can give her voice a little break. Plus you are talking about two very different voices. Adele is a powerful singer, but she can't do soft tones like Mariah (like whisper singing etc). Adele's voice is more or less permanently in full voice so it constantly is working hard. Now, Mariah has lost power to her voice, and for the most part, can't hold a long note like she used to without help or proper warm ups and rest, there is no denying that. But she can, if and when she chooses, sing softly as that doesn't take much effort for her to do and she has the option to play with the range that she uses. Adele can't. (Sunday 2 July 2017; 21:50)

Re: Jazz album (76,815) (76,835) by Terna from Nigeria Lol. (Sunday 2 July 2017; 21:32)

Re: Jazz album (76,821) (76,834) by Terna from Nigeria Thank you Hasenan, you get what I'm trying to say. Jazz is for has retired beens with ugly rough voices, her voice is too pretty and distinctive for Jazz. I'd prefer Gospel or Neo-Soul. (Sunday 2 July 2017; 21:27)

Re: Celine (76,824) (76,833) by Terna from Nigeria 20 years too late. *cackle * Hell no. I'm not here for that from Celine (Sunday 2 July 2017; 21:23)

Prince (76,832) by B from USA The Paisley Park remastered album, overseen by Prince himself in addition to a new "From The Vault & Previously Unreleased" disc with 11 unheard gems from the storied vault is available now. How I wish Mariah would do this for Butterfly. She didn't seize the opportunity with Mariah Carey and Daydream. I hope she didn't do so because she's planning to do something to commemorate Butterfly's 20th anniversary. I'd be happy with a version that includes live performances, music videos, and remixes from that era. I also hope she does something to commemorate Butterfly's anniversary. Imagine what she has in her vault. She wrote Lead The Way during the writing of Butterfly and I'd love to hear any other songs she wrote during that era even if they're just demos.

"I Don't" reached 19 million views, what do you think? (76,831) by monster from US "I Don't" is very popular video. Over 19 million views. Could be found on the top 40 in USA charts. At the beginning, I didn't like the song, but now I started to love it. Actually, Mariah is not that kind of commerce singer, but she achieved good viral traffic. Do you think it's important to her career? How number of views could affect her popularity? (Sunday 2 July 2017; 19:06)

Re: Celine (76,824) (76,830) by Licia from USA Wow I was not expecting to see that. I don't know how I feel about this. I give Mariah a lot of flack for this type of behavior. I have to be fair. I don't really like this look for Celine. (Sunday 2 July 2017; 18:18)

Re: B / regards to new album (76,817) (76,829) by B from USA (Sunday 2 July 2017; 18:08)

Re: Jazz album (76,823) (76,828) by B from USA If she rearranges the songs for live performances, like she does TGIFY, she could do any song justice live. (Sunday 2 July 2017; 18:06)

Article: Mariah and Bryan enjoy wine-filled date night (76,827) by Betty from Canada I think it is a good idea for MC to be single and just have fun with Bryan, she doesn't need to be in a relationship if she is happy this way. (Sunday 2 July 2017; 17:02)

Article: Olivia Munn channels Mariah Carey (76,826) by Betty from Canada Finally. Someone who appreciates MC. So tired of the hate from everyone else lately. No matter what, I will always love you, appreciate you, and enjoy you MC. (Sunday 2 July 2017; 16:54)

Re: Celine (76,824) (76,825) by Lila from United States I just want to be that flexible and remain that flexible when I'm her age. (Sunday 2 July 2017; 15:11)

Celine (76,824) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Celine is going through her "Butterfly" era here. Hats off to her for pulling this off though. She has reinvented herself. (Sunday 2 July 2017; 13:10)

Re: Jazz album (76,821) (76,823) by 90sMariah from SG You mean a Gospel album full of songs she won't be able to give justice to live? An album full of overproduced songs and screeching? Jazz is the only thing that matches her current whispery voice; this genre brings out the soul. Jazz is the perfect outlet for her to express the pain that she's gone through without the need for over-singing and layering her songs with multiple choir, her own backup vocals and ultrasonic squeals she no longer can replicate live without her being caught lip-syncing. It could help even help repair her image. I've followed her since 1990, I've seen her highs and now her vocal lows. She's been playing around with jazz for many years so why not? Don't dismiss Jazz like it's for has-beens. (Sunday 2 July 2017; 11:48)

Re: MIAM (76,818) (76,822) by MusicfanJ from Germany That's true it has something for everyone. After the first listen of the album I was a bit disappointed, but now I really love it. Especially "Meteorite" and "Beautiful" I won't miss. And "Thirsty" and "Cry" are also on that list. (Sunday 2 July 2017; 11:43)

Re: Jazz album (76,812) (76,821) by Merr Hasenan from Malaysia Terna, I am with you. Gospel album should be a great idea. But I can tolerate jazz album as long as it is everything new from Mariah. We need a proper album (not another #1s) to discuss here. (Sunday 2 July 2017; 04:57)

New album (76,820) by Edouard from France I would love for Mariah to make a fusion album of HipHop/ Jazz/ NeoSoul/ Gospel. She has done that with songs like Outside, One & Only, I Wish You Knew, Dedicated, The Roof, Irresistible, Heavenly. (Sunday 2 July 2017; 04:11)

Re: MIAM (76,818) (76,819) by Edouard from France I absolutely love Faded, Beautiful, You're Mine (Eternal), Supernatural, Meteorite, Camouflage and Heavenly. Bsically the whole album. To me it is one of her best along with Butterfly, TEOM, Daydream and Rainbow. (Sunday 2 July 2017; 04:09)

MIAM (76,818) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Funny thing is this album has been on my mind a lot lately and I must admit that this album when you listen to it has something for every true MC fan. This is a great body of work that was definitely under appreciated. (Saturday 1 July 2017; 23:47)

B / regards to new album (76,817) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) B you hit the nail on the head, age should not matter. It is extremely sad that when it comes to women it's always about age in society and for us men in most cases the rules don't really apply. To me at this point as long as Mariah delivers great material that can be appreciated why should there be limitations. This is the problem while I must admit MC has not delivered up to her standards as of late that does not mean she is not capable only time will tell. I think we all should wait for at least the first official single before we start making judgments. (Saturday 1 July 2017; 23:43)

Butterfly vinyl (76,816) by Bill from the UK Interesting fact I have just discovered. The vinyl Butterfly album actually replaces the regular version of Honey with the "Bad Boy Remix" as its opening track. I didn't like that version, mainly because it omitted the James Bond strings (as I call them) which warmed the track up a bit. I wonder if MC will do anything special for the album's 20th anniversary. A remastered re-issue with a vinyl option would be great. (Saturday 1 July 2017; 23:30)

Re: Jazz album (76,802) (76,815) by Bill from the UK I hope Mariah makes a jazz album just so it annoys you Terna hehe. (Saturday 1 July 2017; 23:13)

Re: Jazz album (76,811) (76,814) by B from USA Why does her age matter? All that matters to me is if she delivers an amazing body of work or not. I hope her new album is as good as her last album with some experimentation. (Saturday 1 July 2017; 21:51)

Me. I Am Mariah... The Elusive Chanteuse (76,808) (76,813) by B from USA Agreed. I don't either. (Saturday 1 July 2017; 21:48)

Re: Jazz album (76,807) (76,812) by Terna from Nigeria Now you're talking. A Gospel album would be so much more welcoming and more true to who she is at her core. I feel it's about damn time she made one. Mariah could easily (all caps) write the next Gospel classic staple every gospel artist would be dying to cover (who knows her signature song maybe). She has with inspirational songs ("Make it Happen", "Through the Rain", "Hero") so why not Gospel? (Saturday 1 July 2017; 21:29)
