I Don't (wasn't Vegas Mariah but still hot pow) (72,738) by Sheila from United States While I know most [censored] were expecting a trainwreck or a fully lipped performance. What we got was sexy, thin determined Mariah. She actually sounded better than the record and on point. Her lower register was very clear and on key. While she was "not" giving Vegas Mariah, I would have let the background singers do the chorus instead of the track, but overall she was fierce. (Thursday 16 February 2017; 12:20)

Re: New pictures (72,730) (72,737) by Musti from UK She looks younger than Tanaka. I won't deny it, they actually look cute together in those pics. And most importantly, her smile seems genuine. (Thursday 16 February 2017; 12:20)

Jimmy Kimmel (72,736) by Lila from United States It was better than expected. (Thursday 16 February 2017; 12:14)

Trouble at Jimmy (72,735) by Danny from Uk I read on Twitter (maybe more fake news) that Mariah had alot of hate last night including people waiting for her at the back of the venue shouting abuse and trying to get her to sign JLo photos etc. I don't understand this? Why would they go to that trouble? It seems NYE has caused more controversy than we originally thought. Maybe it's just a bit of Twitter drama and wasn't as bad as read.

Re: New pictures (72,730) (72,734) by MusicfanJ from Germany Wow great pics. The last one really remind me of the Honey Mariah. You're right, the light make-up is perfect for Mariah. She looks so much younger and sweet. (Thursday 16 February 2017; 11:50)

I Don't (72,733) by darrian liu from taiwan I'm pleasantly surprised by the performance. First of all, her airy vocals sounded so gorgeous and pretty. Her tone is also actually better than the studio version, so she didn't really need that studio vocals kicking in during the chorus, because compared to her live vocals, her studio vocals of the chorus sounded horrid and tight. I love that closing run, it added some dramatic flair. Overall, her voice does sound huskier but it sounded wonderful. I think the only problem was that since the song is filled with closed vowels, her chest voice sound tighter than they should be (she wasn't having tension or anything though, it's just that her voice currently has this husky, dry tone and in closed vowels, they tend to sound tighter). It was good. (Thursday 16 February 2017; 11:31)

Re: "I Don't" Jimmy Kimmel (72,731) (72,732) by Edouard from France So jazzy, I love love it. (Thursday 16 February 2017; 10:22)

"I Don't" Jimmy Kimmel (72,731) by Billy from Greece She was wonderful, especially considering that it was the first major live performance after New Year's. I loved the way she sounded on the verses, her darker and huskier tone truly on display, and she was in control of her voice. Some nervousness did come across, mainly because of the super tight dress I think which barely allowed her to move. There was some backing track on the first part of the chorus, but she seemed well-rehearsed and determined and thankfully it is a song that she can support live, and she proved it. Also, although I'm not sure if it comes across from TV performances, but the whole MC band is really on point, which I witnessed first hand in the SSFT, and the background singers always have specific little dance routines for every song, adding to an overall "tight" band. Yay MC "I Don't" live. It sounds better than I expected. (Thursday 16 February 2017; 9:52)

New pictures (72,730) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So some *cough Stella cough* has been reading the message board and saw us talking about how they're not a real couple since he's always behind her like the rest of her entourage and she doesn't even look at him or hold his hands, so voila, we have this and also this. I gotta say she looks absolutely beautiful though and so radiant. Light makeup is best for her. Ok so she wore this beautiful blue dress on her way to Kimmel. For the performance she wore a red gown. Her face here is flawless, she looks like she's Tanaka's age. Ok so basically I saw the performance on Kimmel. She sang mostly live but the song doesn't translate well live, and Mariah looked extremely scared. (Thursday 16 February 2017; 9:37)

Live I Don't (72,729) by Luke from United Kingdom I think I like it more than the studio version. Her little laugh is everything at 3:16 lol. (Thursday 16 February 2017; 9:36)

Mimi at Clippers game (72,728) by RibbonB from USA How cute, Mariah took Mishka on a date to the Clippers game tonight. She is slaying the young acting moments lately. Wow she even mingled in the crowd and said hello to Floyd Mayweather while her hired hand took photos of her with a famous celebrity. (Thursday 16 February 2017; 8:30)

Re: Grammys (72,698) (72,727) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines As it was already pointed out and as a Google search would say, Jagged Little Pill was the actual biggest album that year. If we were to judge by the performance of its and Daydream's singles, Daydream would have definitely won. But album sales-wise, JLP sold more copies then and still does now. Preference is a subjective thing, but even I, a Mariah fan, would be blind to just ignore the impact of Alanis' album or its merit as an AOTY contender. It was every bit the tour de force Daydream was. It could have gone either way, and unfortunately, it wasn't Mariah's night... at all. (Thursday 16 February 2017; 8:10)

Jimmy Kimmel Live (72,726) by Malcolm from Asia She's nervous as hell and it affects her stage presence. It's not that bad, it's just the song doesn't fit for a live performance like that. She should've worn jeans instead of ball gown, that outfit suits for the ballads. On to the next one. (Thursday 16 February 2017; 7:11)

Re: "I Don't" on Wendy (72,722) (72,725) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Dahlin' we thought she'd never do a reality show, nor did we ever imagine she'd resort to nonsense cheap publicity stunt, but look where we're at now haha. Her going on Wendy would actually get a lot of attention. Wendy says what the GP basically thinks about Mariah but to this day she has always maintained that Mariah can out sing anyone and has always praised her voice and success. She just takes petty jabs at some of the mess in Mariah's life. (Thursday 16 February 2017; 5:45)

Outside Jimmy Kimmel (72,724) by Dan from US So nice to see fan photos of Mariah with new people around her and Stella not in sight lol. (Thursday 16 February 2017; 5:23)

Beck (72,723) by RibbonB from USA But has anyone here listened to Beck's 2015 Grammy winning album of the year? I still haven't. I thought it was cute that Adele "kanye'd" herself on Sunday in favor of Beyonce's masterpiece. (Thursday 16 February 2017; 0:42)

Re: "I Don't" on Wendy (72,713) (72,722) by Danny from Uk Lol I doubt she would ever go on Wendy. (Thursday 16 February 2017; 0:36)

Article: Mariah enjoys a sexy Valentine's Day dip with Bryan (72,721) by Robin Elkins from United States Does this look fake to you? I don't. (Thursday 16 February 2017; 0:35)

Grammys 1996 (72,720) by darrian liu from taiwan Alanis made a great record. I was mad before when I read that Mariah didn't win any Grammy for Daydream just because of how amazing it is. It definitely deserves the Album of the Year. But Alanis's Jagged Little Pill is an equally brilliant album. After I listened to it, I understood why Mariah didn't win the award. JLP also deserves that award. It's like 25 vs Lemonade, both albums deserve to win the award. (Wednesday 15 February 2017; 23:13)

Re: Mariah and Michael (72,717) (72,719) by Chicago Lamb from USA Mariah will likely continue to work. Bolstered by her Vegas stint, successful European tour, and the like. She won't stop just because new songs don't chart well. Radio still plays her classics. She'll blind side the public with a top 10 soon enough anyway. (Wednesday 15 February 2017; 21:17)

Re: Grammys (72,715) (72,718) by B from USA Comparing Jagged Little Pill and Daydream is like comparing Lemonade and 25. Lemonade is Beyoncé's Jagged Little Pill and 25 is Adele's Daydream. (Wednesday 15 February 2017; 20:57)

Mariah and Michael (72,717) by T from USA I just noticed that Mariah Carey and Michael Jackson were both 43 when they released their last studio album. Mariah had a song go to #15 from her album and Michael had a song go to #10. But unlike Mariah, I think Michael saw the writing on the wall and stopped actively perusing the music industry. He would show up here and there and tour sometimes but that was about it. (Wednesday 15 February 2017; 20:39)

Re: Grammys (72,711) (72,716) by Bill from the UK TJ is completely right. Daydream was a tremendous effort by Mariah but Jagged Little Pill was a huge, brilliant, ground breaking, intelligent record. Alanis' dead pan delivery, her direct and cutting lyrics, the production, her style, it all was a perfect fit for the general mood at the time. I played that album relentlessly when it arrived, and to this day it remains one of my favourites and most returned to records (Mariah excepted of course). Mariah wasn't "snubbed". A snub would be zero nominations. The amount of nominations she received that year was a direct acknowledgement and confirmation of her fantastic achievements and a reflection of how she was perceived in the industry at the time. (Wednesday 15 February 2017; 20:34)

Re: Grammys (72,711) (72,715) by Shezz from Pk Whereas I agree JLP was a more iconic album for sure, it did not have any Hot 100 #1s, it had Alternative Chart #1s (3) on the Billboard US charts. I don't think she has scored a number 1 Hot 100 in the US to date. (Wednesday 15 February 2017; 20:31)

Re: Grammys (72,709) (72,714) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes Daydream was so phenomenal. It even went number one in Germany (at that time we still had a lot of eurodance and boybands) lol. The radio stations were playing Fantasy, One Sweet Day and Always Be My Baby every hour. So I could easily record it on my mix-tape. And Mariah was the female superstar of 95-96. Just watch the Daydream tour in Europe, the people and fans were freaking out. And everywhere she was arriving. In France there's a video about MC walking through the crowd, it reminded me of Michael Jackson. Mariah sold out her only German concert so quick. I can't remember exactly, I guess in 2 hours it was sold out. Daydream caused a Mariah "hype" around the world. She was unstoppable. That she didn't win one Grammy at that time is a musical crime. Maybe the jury didn't like a young female singer who's looking like a princess and is married to an executive. I don't know. But it was definitely unfair. (Wednesday 15 February 2017; 19:55)
