Re: Crying on stage (77,394) (77,397) by B from USA I agree. If she was aware of the comments his fans made when the tour was announced she was undoubtedly overwhelmed by the crowds warm reception which seemed to put her at ease. She looked at home on stage instead of nervous. (Sunday 23 July 2017; 00:29)

Mariah Carey and Lionel Richie kick off epic tour (77,396) by B from USA This is exactly what Mariah needed. She slayed according several reviews and more importantly fans of both her's and Lionel's. The set list was predictable but to be expected. Glad she traded the Vegas ensembles for more flattering ones. (Sunday 23 July 2017; 00:26)

Re: Girl's Trip movie (77,391) (77,395) by Licia from USA Get ready to laugh your behind off and possibly cry. Lol. (Sunday 23 July 2017; 00:09)

Re: Crying on stage (77,386) (77,394) by Licia from USA Maybe she got emotional because she really wasn't expecting the crowd to embrace her at all. I don't want to believe it could be anything else. She was absolutely gorgeous in that red. She looked good overall, but that red is a show stopper. She gave me everything I wanted so no complaints here. (Sunday 23 July 2017; 00:07)

Re: Crying on stage (77,378) (77,393) by RibbonB from USA Seemed like tears of joy at the appreciation of the crowd. (Saturday 22 July 2017; 23:14)

Re: Crying on stage (77,381) (77,392) by RibbonB from USA Because this crew is paid to be around her 24/7 and cater to her whims. Plus they try to control the narrative of her being desirable and in the news. (Saturday 22 July 2017; 22:58)

Re: Girl's Trip movie (77,384) (77,391) by RibbonB from USA I'm hoping to see it Sunday. (Saturday 22 July 2017; 22:54)

Re: Crying on stage (77,388) (77,390) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter No "Endless Love" was not performed. Maybe they'll eventually include it. (Saturday 22 July 2017; 21:48)

Don't linger on, don't linger on (77,389) by Andrew from UK Note to Mariah - after the pre-record high bit of Always Be My Baby, don't jump in with the "and we're gonna linger on, we're gonna linger on". Just let the backing track play for a bit. At least that's a shot at getting away with it. Then come in with low notes and end the song. What you're doing now is so cringe I look like *I* smelt the fart, too. (Saturday 22 July 2017; 21:25)

Re: Crying on stage (77,381) (77,388) by Bill from the UK I suppose the thing is as well, her other concerts she has done over her time are attended by her fans. There may be a disgruntled partner or parent amongst the crowds but predominantly it's her fans. With this tour with Lionel, it could well be that a large percentage of the audience aren't interested in her music or at best casual fans. Of course it can also be the other way round for Lionel. Does anyone know if they sang Endless Love together? Surely they must, she hasn't sang that one live since promoting it with Luther back in 1994. (Saturday 22 July 2017; 21:19)

Re: Crying on stage (77,382) (77,387) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Also maybe hanging out with Lionel will help her get a different perspective of life with fame. As in to be more low key and enjoy her personal life away from the public eye. (Saturday 22 July 2017; 20:56)

Re: Crying on stage (77,383) (77,386) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I'd honestly take any answer than her not being happy. I want nothing but the best for her. So I hope it was because she was feeling overwhelmed with the love and appreciation and not because she feels lonely and upset over something. What got me thinking was how this happened at 2 unexpected concerts and not her usual ones. The red dress was great. Flattering and red is always her color. She looked good and angelic (even in red haha). So the set list was something like: Heartbreaker / Love Hangover Shake It Off Touch My Body IKWYW feat. Busta My All Always Be My Baby One Sweet Day ILT VOL WBT Hero (Saturday 22 July 2017; 20:42)

Natural (77,385) by Malcolm from Asia Is it just me or her cheeks seems finally more natural than before. She looked good, it comes to show that outfit really makes a difference. (Saturday 22 July 2017; 20:31)

Girl's Trip movie (77,384) by Licia from USA Just got out of this movie. It was awesome. They got Mariah doing It's Like That close to the end of the movie. It was a small spot, but it was still nice and a positive look. (Saturday 22 July 2017; 19:42)

Re: Crying on stage (77,382) (77,383) by Shezz from Pk I agree. I dont necessarily think either that having tears on stage says that a person is not in a good place mentally. She's struggling and the appreciation got her emotional. I think she had a similar moment during her first Christmas show. These dresses were definitely better than the ill fitting body suits. The red dress reminded me of the dresses she wore in the Emancipation era. So how many songs did she do? 7-8? (Saturday 22 July 2017; 18:30)

Re: Crying on stage (77,378) (77,382) by Malcolm from Asia Or maybe she's aware of what people are saying about her and to hear that energy from an audience who's not entirely her fans, she probably felt the love. I also saw tweets that praising Mariah's performance like they didn't expect Mariah to sound like that. You know I really think this tour will help her image as long as she'll deliver a good performance all throughout. Not to mention that the bodysuits are finally missing. (Saturday 22 July 2017; 17:42)

Re: Crying on stage (77,378) (77,381) by Lila from United States As always, looking at the whole picture, I think it's just yet another manifestation of Mariah's feeling unloved and lonely. As you said, she's used to her fans calling her name and she usually revels in it and honestly the ATH tour isn't some special or poignant moment. But this time it looks like she really needed that love. I think most of us in the world have at least one moment where we need a genuine expression of love and affection because we're feeling so low and someone swoops in right in the nick of time and gives that love and encouragement. For Mariah, right now, that's the crowd. I've already said my piece on what I think of everyone around her and everything I've said I still stand by ten fold. She has paid bodies around her to combat loneliness but no one who truly loves and cares for her beyond a paycheck and getting something out of her. I remember when Nick and Mariah first married; Mariah said that, before she met Nick, she always felt lonely; no matter who she was with. I find it very hard to believe that someone could go from feeling so lonely all the time (which, from my own personal experience, sounds like depression), until one specific person came along, and whose marriage to that person still didn't 100% escape her feelings of insecurity and loneliness, could suddenly do a 180 and skip from being so unlonely because of the likes of Stella and her kids, to so in love with James, to so happy with Tonka Toy in the span of two years.

Re: Mariah slayed at All The hits (77,379) (77,380) by B from USA (Saturday 22 July 2017; 14:06)

Mariah slayed at All The hits (77,379) by Sheila from United States [...] oh yes she stuck to the [...], left the banter at home and the ending of Vision of Love got so much love from the audience. Lionel's uppity fans gave her much love after My All and they did warm up to her, shouting "sing girl", she looked thinner and lovely, the lambs I went with wanted [...] or another obscure song but she stuck to the hits. Hero got a standing ovation. Such a cute night. (Saturday 22 July 2017; 12:50)

Crying on stage (77,378) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So Mariah was tearing up a little on stage during the ATH tour with Lionel. This is the second time we heard about her crying onstage in a matter of weeks, right? Or were there more instances? She was tearing up and saying "you guys make me feel so loved". I honestly am worried about her because she usually doesn't do this. She's used to fans cheering on and calling her name. I just feel sad, because it looks like she's really not in a good place right now personally. I mean the crying, then the other day just not caring to even bother dancing to the routine and all. She seems so resigned. I hope she is doing well. (Saturday 22 July 2017; 12:28)

Re: Do You Think of Me (77,372) (77,377) by Bill from the UK I love Do You Think of Me. So much. That is so much more sensual and sexy than Honey ever could be. No offence to Honey of course, I love that song, but DYTOM is a whole other level of sensuality. And the lyrics... we've all been there. (Saturday 22 July 2017; 11:54)

Your Girl (77,376) by Ben from Sweden This is such a hit. A classic. Like old school. Probably genius. (Your Girl.) (Saturday 22 July 2017; 11:38)

Breakaway Audio Enhancer (77,375) by Ben from Sweden If you're using a computer with Windows, try the program "Breakaway Audio Enhancer". The treble becomes wonderful and drums as well. I can't live without it. (Saturday 22 July 2017; 11:29)

Re: New photo (77,366) (77,374) by MusicfanJ from Germany Licia you made my day with the "baggage" comment. The "chicken" pic is hilarious. First I thought it was an alien hand. Sometimes all the stuff do remind me of a comic. (Saturday 22 July 2017; 11:21)

All the Hits (77,373) by Licia from USA From the few clips I've seen she sounded good and she looked nice. These outfits are much better. I love the red dress. (Saturday 22 July 2017; 10:41)
