Re: I think Mariah was sick the first two nights (77,242) (77,250) by Bill from the UK Lol, I posted my predicted set list a week or so ago. (Tuesday 18 July 2017; 11:43)

Re: Despacito (77,248) (77,249) by MusicfanJ from Germany Rihanna can have hundred "hits" she will never be able to take Mariah's music "crown". Her singing is a joke and I can't stand her persona but that's another thing. Despacito is a classical summer hit, it's on heavy rotation in Europe. So maybe it will stay a while. I must say I'm pretty bored of the actual charts. Most of it sounds so similiar and uninspired. (Tuesday 18 July 2017; 11:21)

Despacito (77,248) by Musti from UK I know I probably shouldn't say this but I'm glad this song is still #1. It stopped DJ Khaled/Rihanna's new song from reaching the top. Wild Thoughts is still in the top 5 and there's always a chance that it'll bounce back. Its airplay is still increasing. But hopefully that won't happen. I want Mariah to hold her crown for as long as possible, even though it's likely that Rihanna will take over eventually. (Tuesday 18 July 2017; 10:43)

Drama series (77,247) by Sarah from Netherlands So I came across this on Instagram. Had anybody heard anything about this? (Tuesday 18 July 2017; 07:51)

Mariah Carey drama series based on her life (77,246) by Licia from USA I may just watch this. I wish it were a comedy where she makes fun of herself and her lifestyle (people besides fans don't get how funny she can be), but I'm willing to give this a shot. (Tuesday 18 July 2017; 06:56)

Re: Trey Lorenz explains why "CLG" never went #1 (77,218) (77,245) by 123 from USA It's always been number 1 in my heart. It's my favorite ballad of hers. That haunting intro, her soft tone that builds to a vocal crescendo bursting with emotion. Those lyrics. I love Trey's excitement when discussing the song. She needs to sing it more often. A stripped down Vegas TGIFU version. I remember this song pouring from the radio during that time. It got tons of radio play. (Tuesday 18 July 2017; 05:50)

Re: Stop the negativity (77,222) (77,244) by 123 from USA Terna, I will say I appreciate your dedication. I have a different vantage point but it's good she has fans like you to defend her, most people mean well here. (Tuesday 18 July 2017; 05:39)

Re: "Vision of Love" climax and "Emotions" intro 7/15/17 (77,236) (77,243) by 123 from USA You're welcome you little @#$% I mean Andy. I hope the video brought a little joy into your grumpy little day. Much love. (Tuesday 18 July 2017; 05:34)

Re: I think Mariah was sick the first two nights (77,235) (77,242) by 123 from USA Bill, my buddy, I know but keep the good vibe, I'd rather you tell me what songs you think she should sing on the Lionel tour. (Tuesday 18 July 2017; 05:20)

At the risk of sounding ultra positive (77,241) by Edouard from France I actually like the fact that Mariah's voice isn't always the same. Some performances are not good. Okay. But I like the fact that not a single performance is the same, except for the lipped parts. She has so many colors and textures to her voice and yet her sound is immediately recognizable. Who else sings like that in the business? Effing nobody. (Tuesday 18 July 2017; 04:02)

Exactly Licia (77,240) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada I adore Mariah and I'll always love her, but that doesn't mean I'll stick my head in the sand and pretend. There's a huge difference between when people feel truly fulfilled, passionate, joyful, inspired and motivated versus the alternative, maintaining. There's a spark that's unmistakable and speaks for itself. (Tuesday 18 July 2017; 03:03)

Re: I think Mariah was sick the first two nights (77,238) (77,239) by Hilton from USA Yes Dom and Ed. The way you guys just spoke of her is how it should be. My mother always taught me that you can say what you want to and about someone, it's all in your delivery. I love Mariah, I know the bar has been set high by her own doing, and maybe by us too, but I do understand that she's human too. She's not perfect but I'm glad she's still here. Hopefully the passion returns. Hopefully many things can turn around for her, but most of all I wish her well always and if I had the chance to see her and talk to her I'd tell her how much I love her and how much she's helped me in my life. She's incredibly imperfect and I love her for it. Lambily forever. (Tuesday 18 July 2017; 01:44)

Re: I think Mariah was sick the first two nights (77,231) (77,238) by Dominique from Cape Town, South Africa I'd understand if she's not feeling well. If so, then I hope she gets better really soon. Even if not so, I still hope all goes well. I'm sure you'd understand if I had my reservations about this though, because of how it happens with every set of shows. Still, no hate, just saying. I wouldn't go as far as putting down other artists when trying to put Mimi on a pedestal. She claims to respect her peers, so maybe I will too. Also, I'd much rather prefer the drama that comes with cancelling her show for health concerns over the drama that follows some of the things she's recently become known for. But that's only me and my opinion, no offence or anything of the sort. (Monday 17 July 2017; 21:50)

Re: Thank you for the "negativity" (77,234) (77,237) by Edouard from France I do understand what you mean and I agree with you. I believe the way you said what you said is just perfect. There's no negativity involved even if you show your concern. Most importantly you show your faith in our girl. And I love that. (Monday 17 July 2017; 21:43)

Re: "Vision of Love" climax and "Emotions" intro 7/15/17 (77,216) (77,236) by Andrew from UK I wrote a really long post and just deleted it. I asked someone to post good vocals and I got it. [censored] (Monday 17 July 2017; 21:38)

Re: I think Mariah was sick the first two nights (77,231) (77,235) by Bill from the UK There's so much I could say in reply to everything that's horrifically wrong with this message, but I haven't the energy or wherewithal. (Monday 17 July 2017; 20:43)

Re: Thank you for the "negativity" (77,230) (77,234) by MusicfanJ from Germany Mariah is very smart, that's one reason I've always loved about her. But sometimes she seems to hide her smart mind. And she's definitely insecure, nothing wrong with it. Everybody has times of feeling not secure. Some more some less. But like someone posted here, Mariah should show the world again, why she was on top and why she's still in the business. A lot of people forget why she's one of the greatest. For me she's the greatest, but an image can destroy all those things she has worked her entire life for. I think it's sad if the public and press are only talking about outfits and "diva" behavior. Mariah is more than that like we all know. Of course she can decide how she wants to be seen in the public. But does she really know how her image is right now? I believe she will show a more relaxed side of herself in the future. Maybe her children will tell her to be the real Mariah in the public again. I love MC, I just miss the natural, down to earth woman who's smile could easily melt ice. I also understand that a star of her level needs a persona to protect herself. Hmm I hope some of this board understand what I mean. I just want Mariah to be happy. And if she has new ideas for a new album it would be great. Because I can't get enough. (Monday 17 July 2017; 20:28)

Re: Thank you for the "negativity" (77,229) (77,233) by Dominique from Cape Town, South Africa Thank you Hilton. I hear what you're saying, and I guess there are some positives we could celebrate every now and then, but these seem to be so far and few between. I'm not here for her personal life or the ensembles etc, only for Mariah the singer, the artist. Her personal life and ensembles do however take centerstage more often than not, thanks in part to her social media team. They push these things and then can't deal with the reactions, perhaps they enjoy how Mariah's being torn apart. I try to keep to the music and the live performances, and I'll keep hoping that one day she'll use her voice to sing again. I love her voice, I just don't feel that she is singing anymore. Don't get me wrong, I'm not expecting nineties vocals or for her to replicate any of those lines from the studio where she miraculously doesn't breath for like, ever. She's missing so much of the very fundamental things pertaining to singing when she performs, and implementing these again doesn't even require surgery. I've listened to quite a few clips of her recent shows. When I do, I close my eyes and listen for a singer. I'd be lying if I told you that I could find a full five minutes of actual singing from what I've heard. I am happy to hear that the sounds coming out of her mouth are a bit more pleasant than the day before though, and because I love her, I'll keep watching and listening just like I keep going to my nephew's football games. He's not scored in 2 years. I know she'll be better soon. Anyway, lambily forever. (Monday 17 July 2017; 18:58)

Why I don't miss the "old Mariah" (77,232) by Edouard from France Love that video. Haha. The more I think about it the more I see that the Rainbow era was a very drastic change in terms of image. Mariah basically became a new artist in 1999. That was so smart of her. Longevity yet youth. (Monday 17 July 2017; 18:24)

I think Mariah was sick the first two nights (77,231) by Edouard from France She probably was on cortisone, hence the swollen look. If that's the case, she could not cancel the show because that would have meant another drama. None of the other "singers" in Vegas will cancel a show since they don't bother to sing live, even the easy parts. She looks thiner after a few days, she looks more confident and at ease. (Monday 17 July 2017; 18:19)

Re: Thank you for the "negativity" (77,229) (77,230) by Edouard from France I like your post Hilton. very true. The thing is that I don't believe she would be were she is if she wasn't smart. She knows what she's doing and we have to trust that. (Monday 17 July 2017; 17:40)

Re: Thank you for the "negativity" (77,225) (77,229) by Hilton from USA Dominique, I like that pic you have. Really nice. I agree with you somewhat, not everyone is negative per say, but there are some people who are down right rude and disrespectful and that's what's unfortunate. Also, it's all the time. It wouldn't be as bad if it was once in a while, but pretty much everyday someone has something awful to say about her weight, voice, clothes, her dating life, dem kids and so forth. But, I guess we all love her so much that we just want what's best for her always. Lambily forever. (Monday 17 July 2017; 16:57)

Re: Vegas 7/15/17 (77,209) (77,228) by Warren from Trinidad & Tobago Agreed RJ, take a look at this. (Monday 17 July 2017; 16:52)

Re: Trey Lorenz explains why "CLG" never went #1 (77,208) (77,227) by Musti from UK Thanks for that. I didn't realise it was pulled from the stores. I always assumed the reason it missed #1 was because Sony was too concerned about the critic's opinion of Mariah's whistles and removed the song's ultimate climax from the radio edit, making it less than what it is. That whistle is just iconic. (Monday 17 July 2017; 15:40)

Re: TGIFY 7/15/17 (77,224) (77,226) by Dominique from Cape Town, South Africa I dream of an accoustic set with Mariah. As many have been saying here, she could rework her songs to suit her current vocals, a few with just guitar would be perfect. She surely doesn't lack the creativity to change things up, so why not Mariah? I'd love to hear "Right to dream" and "Help me make it" live. Really live though, no pre-records or butterflies singing in the background. (Monday 17 July 2017; 15:21)
