Obviously medicated (108,848) by Tevin from USA I agree. Though we will never know what's truly going on with MC, until she speaks out about it, I too am worried. Hopefully it's just a side effect of meds that will eventually wear off or she can changes dosages or meds (I'm no doctor). I remember when two close friends of mine had to go on meds for bipolar, when they were in them, they were completely different people. They acted much like this, drowsy, out of it, in a daze, not all there. Mariah we love you. (Friday 23 May 2025; 22:07) this is a reply to message 108,845

Obviously medicated (108,845) by Carlos from Brazil I think it's really safe to say that she is using medication. I used to take some anti depression remedies and it really kinda "takes your soul out". It's necessary for the case, in terms of "you need it to get better" to a certain point and then maybe reduce or get rid of it when you get well but it really lets you on a deplorable state. You just go through life and the emotions like it's nothing. Mariah's last answer to the reporter when asked about what a popstar like Katy has to do when you get hate or something really tells it all. She said "don't pay attention and move on". I think she hasn't really stopped and thought about her situation: her voice, the lost of her family. It's like she just thinks "let's move on" and then she just goes through life.

Obviously medicated (108,847) by Edward from USA The difference is, you're just a mere mortal like the rest of us. Mariah has access to all kinds of resources that most people don't, especially when something isn't working the way it should. But what she really seems to be missing is a team of people who genuinely care, people who aren't afraid to be honest with her and help her see what might not be obvious to her, even if that means encouraging her to talk to her doctor. She's been coming off as being heavily sedated for over a year now, so I don't think this has anything to do with Pat or her sister's passing. If she still had people like Benny Medina or Cindi Burger around, I don't think we'd be having this conversation. I remember when Cindi literally snatched the mike off her hand when she was going on a weird tangent before her breakdown. That's the kind of care and boldness she needs, people who love her more than they love their paycheck. People who won't hold back out of fear of being fired. She deserves to be surrounded by folks who will protect her, even if that means telling her something she doesn't want to hear. (Friday 23 May 2025; 20:58) this is a reply to message 108,845

Obviously medicated (108,846) by MusicfanJ from Germany I have no experience with such medication. But what you write sounds horrible. My mum had some pain killers who had sedated side effects too. It was scary and I was happy when she didn't need it anymore. A human soul and body takes time to heal, too much medication is not good.

What's wrong? (108,844) by Matthew from USA I'm also feeling a bit concerned, but not for the reasons stated. Her vocal condition does not surprise me. Her voice is about where I expected it to be. My concern is over how sedated she is. Look, Mariah has never been the most animated performer, but there used to be little things like the hands. She used to have this running joke where she would watch videos of herself and wonder what the heck she is doing with her hands. She would say that's why she can't play the piano, because she needs her hands to punctuate the verses. When the hands were doing their thing, you knew girlfriend was feeling it. Nowadays the hands stay by her side or they grip the mic stand. Even in interviews, it all feels quite low energy. Not like she's out of it. Her wit, intelligence and humor are coming through, but it's like those emotions are trying to get through a wall of thick molasses. The smile is confusing as well. It's the same smile while she was watching Tori and Muni perform. Is she in pain? Is that a smile of happiness? Does she not want to be there? The smile seems artificial. I know she is getting older, but 55 isn't that old. Even Patti can still give a little sass and energy while performing. But lately she seems turned all the way down. Muted. Sedated. That's what I'm worried about. Perhaps she needs to forego the bi-polar depressors until after her performances and then take them when she gets off the stage. But maybe that's too risky. I hope everything works out. (Friday 23 May 2025; 15:20)

It's time (108,843) by Zachariah from Croatia I think [it's time] to raise our concern like Britney fans did for her and speak out more loudly. The interview was very cringe to watch. We need to protect her and make sure she is doing the things she wants to do, or not to do and not be pressured by others. I don't want, in the future, for her to have another number on hit or an album on number one position while she is lying in a grave (God forbid) and the whole world is [mourning] her departure from this world, like Whitney, Prince, Amy Winehouse. It is an awful thing to write, but somebody had to do it. (Friday 23 May 2025; 14:45)

Article: Mariah Carey confuses fans with "bizarre" interview (108,842) by Edward from USA This was exactly my fear. But then again, the interview was phenomenal, kangaroos and all. (Friday 23 May 2025; 13:36)

Show some humanity (108,825) by Manuel from Germany Dear people on this board, have you no heart? Honestly the negativity on this board is painful. Do any of you know what it's like to be her? It's waking up every day and remembering you're not allowed to just be. That if you sound tired, you're "washed up". If you're quiet or having fun with yourself, you're a "diva". If you gain weight, it's magnified - literally - with a lens. And now, if you're medicated [...] and are dealing with the loss of family members and the end of a relationship, you "had a stroke"? WTF? Being Mariah is having your voice - the very thing that saved you - become a measuring stick they beat you with. Your voice - your literal lifeline - being turned into a battlefield. Every note Mariah's ever sung has been dissected, including on this board. Praised, worshipped, mocked, measured. And when your voice is that good - the pressure to never slip is inhuman. I guess for her lip-syncing isn't lying. It's surviving. It's choosing to still show up when the heartbreak is louder than the applause. When she may rather feel like grieving. How many times has she stood in front of thousands of us while screaming inside? She's been singing through breakdowns, betrayals, miscarriages, racist industry BS, and a horrible childhood and youth before she was even famous. And yes, sometimes she shows up because she signed the paper, not because she is feeling it. But she goes on stage anyway, because she knows that somewhere you might be out there. Some kid like she once was, staring at the ceiling, praying to be loved. And if at this point her lipsync can keep that kid alive another night, she'll wear the diamonds and fake it. She doesn't do music, she is music. This isn't a job. It's not even a career. It's how she breathes. If you call yourself a lamb, you should know as much, because that's what drew you to her. And even when she tries to disappear, the music doesn't stop coming. This industry effed her over, again and again, pimped her pain, tried to own her. When you're a legend, they forget you're human. So quitting might look like freedom to you, but to her, that would feel like letting them win. Because that voice, even cracked, even lip-synced, even trembling is still her. And as long as she's got it, she'll use it how she chooses. Not for the charts. Not for the Grammys. Not for those greedy ones of you who see her as a product that is to remain Daydream Mariah forever. For her. And for the ones who still need it. And if you don't need it, leave. She is an artist. She knows that when she walks on that stage, somebody in that crowd remembers who they are, because they see her still fighting to be. She was never supposed to make it. A mixed-race girl with a broken home, bipolar disorder, and a five-octave range? Please. But here she is. Still here. Still selling out stadiums. Not because the industry let her. But because she refused to disappear. So have some humanity inside you and stop projecting your unresolved issues on her. Imagine yourselves in her position. When she is ready, she will speak her truth. Until then, enjoy what she has to offer now, or enjoy her legacy. It's all there. She is as real as it gets right now, medicated and all. That is her, a human being. And she is still showing up, looking like a goddess, selling out, going number one every year. Love to you all. (Friday 23 May 2025; 00:28)

Article: Mariah Carey confuses fans with "bizarre" interview (108,840) by MusicfanJ from Germany This is not good news. I remember how it all started with the press in 2001.

Show some humanity (108,839) by Edward from USA Exactly, it's like they want to tour the woman to death. Tanaka seemed to genuinely care, he always came across as being protective of her. (Friday 23 May 2025; 12:57) this is a reply to message 108,836

Show some humanity (108,836) by BFF from United States Mariah comes across as absolutely exhausted - physically, emotionally, psychologically - in the interviews and on stage. I wonder sometimes if she just feels creatively stifled on the writing and recording side of things and maybe opts to do the tours instead because she's afraid of disappointing the fans. Or maybe she's overspending and knows that touring is the only way to keep the lifestyle she is used to? It also cannot be easy to cope with the end of her relationship with Bryan and the loss of her mom and sister within the same relative time frame. She also has a lot of people on payroll, and they have a vested interest in telling her "Yes, keep going" rather than "You need to stop and take care of yourself." She definitely doesn't seem physically, emotionally or psychologically well right now. But she's obviously committed to more shows for the Mimi anniversary, and then there will, of course, be the annual holiday shows before long. (Friday 23 May 2025; 12:29)

Show some humanity (108,838) by Edward from USA That's what some here don't get, our concerns come from a place of love. I don't want people to look at her like that and then shred her to pieces.

The return of the voice (108,837) by Terna from Nigeria I am so worried about her. I think it's time we held her up in prayers (yes God is real, she's his child and prayers work). Something is going on behind the scenes, and I called it out last year that she was giving me Whitney vibes - it's like watching her headed for a train wreck. We all have love for this woman and in many ways, we express it differently, but I believe all from a place of concern. Now that means you care about her well-being not just as a regular casual listener on the outside. She said it best, we're her extended family (and family look out for each other). I believe this and that's why I didn't bring up the Mimi session, neither am I making any commentary on it, it was posted while I was typing my last message and I watched it and was heartbroken. There might be a side to this we're not seeing, and the voice is just a symptom or an indicator. Pray specifically for her well-being - physically, mentally, her safety. Back her up in prayers, after all that's all we can do. (Friday 23 May 2025; 12:40) this is a reply to message 108,826

The return of the voice (108,826) by Edward from USA I'm not mad at Mariah.

You might like the sessions, but if you can't see there's something very wrong going on, I don't know what to think. (Friday 23 May 2025; 04:20)

The return of the voice (108,835) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, I'm also hungry for new music. I was surprised about the "Mimi sessions". It was honest. I wish we could get one more time lyrics like on the [Butterfly] album or [Charmbracelet]. I still think a jazz album would fit well plus some soulful grooves. But I also hope Mariah is okay. We all know it was too much the last year. Of course legends are only human, like someone has [already] written on this board. I hope Mariah will recover and feel good again.

The return of the voice (108,827) by Bobby A from United States If MC can create the Mimi Sessions, why can't she record an album for the Lambily? I want to hear new songs to hear what she sounds like in 2025 with new technology, engineering, and instrumentation. It would help us not be so critical and possibly give us better insight through her lyrics what being Mariah Carey is like right now. I want my Butterfly MC back who gave the Lambily new music and MC's story through her lyrics. We deserve a new album after seven years. (Friday 23 May 2025; 04:52)

The return of the voice (108,834) by Jamie from UK Exactly, if people can't see something is seriously wrong then they are blinded. Do we get to the point where like Whitney people were walking out of concerts while she was straining on stage to be who she once was. And we all know what happened after that. Mariah will want to go on stage, she will want to be an artist and she will still crave to be adored, all stars are the same in that respect, but [you're] right, I'm mad at the people around her saying yes yes yes and not being honest with her. Now we've got this video for the Australian fans (which I'm yet to watch) which reports of bizarre answers and behaviour. Are we now unfortunately seeing her unravel in the public eye.

The real question (108,832) by Sasha from Nomansland To me the real question is why does she put herself through this? She looks so bored, weary and unhappy on stage, same on interviews. Everything she does in public seems to cause her such pain, like she's trapped in her own personal hell. She doesn't have to do it, she owes nothing to the world. She has far enough money to just chill and relax, enjoy life, take care of herself and only does what she likes. She could write and produce for others and stay away from the spotlight and bad lightnings that bother her so much. I really don't understand the point if she can't find joy in it anymore. (Friday 23 May 2025; 09:00)

She possibly had a stroke (108,831) by Bobby A from United States I was almost in tears, Shezz. It was hard to watch MC sing in that state. I can't watch the Mimi Sessions again. And Daniel Moore was just playing away on piano knowing he could have said something 3 years ago. Live singing is not good for MC right now. I want the best for MC. I think a new album filled with all the studio magic, new technology and personal lyrics would make me so happy than her performing live. I just wonder, were the Mimi Sessions planned and created after the Lambs' reaction to the Asia shows? (Friday 23 May 2025; 06:05) this is a reply to message 108,821

She possibly had a stroke (108,821) by Shezz from Pk She isn't dying, you all need to stop clutching your pearls. Highly doubtful that she'd be touring if she just had a stroke. Not all humans are created equal and not all of them age the same way. Specially ones with neurological disorders that only worsen with time. I think it's commendable she put this out. You all want her to sit down and cry on national tv about her vocal decline. She's not doing that. This is her response to all the lovers and the haters. This is her voice right now. I don't think it was half as bad as some of you think it was. Any one who has remotely followed her in the last few years wouldn't expect anything much better from a stripped performance like this. There are bigger problems in the world to lose sleep over right now. Kudos to Mariah for that honest performance that we have all wanted for a long time. (Thursday 22 May 2025; 18:07)

You all are killing me (108,829) by Stacey from USA Exactly. Well said, Randy. And for the record, I ain't no "yass queen". Not saying anyone is calling me that. Just stating that fact out loud. Yeah, was she stiff? Yes. Would I love her to move around, enjoying the moment? Yes. At the same time, I applaud the effort. I loved the arrangements. I loved seeing lesser known songs like Circles and Your Girl getting shown the spotlight. (Friday 23 May 2025; 05:44) this is a reply to message 108,820

You all are killing me (108,820) by Randy from USA I don't get it. This is MCs voice. It's what it has been for a very long time without all the background tracks, background singers and music. There's no slurring, stroke or sycophants letting her do whatever. I was thrilled yesterday because it was finally unvarnished truth. It was honesty. I mean besides the lashes and hair. And she didn't sound bad. I'm really upset at y'all response because basically it means you would rather have the lies and deceit. Maybe Special K was right. No matter what she does she can't win. I hate that we live in a world where whatever choice you make you'll find harsh criticism. (Thursday 22 May 2025; 18:04)

Just like the leeches on her payroll (108,819) by Edward from USA I appreciate the effort, but as a longtime fan, I can't help feeling heartbroken. Mariah deserves so much more respect, more care, more truth. It pains me to see people blindly cheering her on without regard for her artistry or legacy. I'm talking about the ass kissers, the "yass queens" who clap for anything without thinking twice. This verse is for you, as if Mariah were singing directly to you: "So many I considered Closest to me Turned on a dime and sold me Out dutifully Although that knife was chipping Away at me They turned their eyes away and Went home to sleep" In the end, that's exactly what you "yass queens" will do. When the damage is done and her legacy lies in ruins, you'll simply turn your pretty eyes away, just like the others, and go home to sleep. (Thursday 22 May 2025; 17:38)

WTF? Being Mariah is having your voice - the very thing that saved you - become a measuring stick they beat you with. Your voice - your literal lifeline - being turned into a battlefield. Every note Mariah's ever sung has been dissected, including on this board. Praised, worshipped, mocked, measured. And when your voice is that good - the pressure to never slip is inhuman. I guess for her lip-syncing isn't lying. It's surviving. It's choosing to still show up when the heartbreak is louder than the applause. When she may rather feel like grieving. How many times has she stood in front of thousands of us while screaming inside? She's been singing through breakdowns, betrayals, miscarriages, racist industry BS, and a horrible childhood and youth before she was even famous. And yes, sometimes she shows up because she signed the paper, not because she is feeling it. But she goes on stage anyway, because she knows that somewhere you might be out there. Some kid like she once was, staring at the ceiling, praying to be loved. And if at this point her lipsync can keep that kid alive another night, she'll wear the diamonds and fake it. She doesn't do music, she is music. This isn't a job. It's not even a career. It's how she breathes. If you call yourself a lamb, you should know as much, because that's what drew you to her. And even when she tries to disappear, the music doesn't stop coming. This industry effed her over, again and again, pimped her pain, tried to own her. When you're a legend, they forget you're human. So quitting might look like freedom to you, but to her, that would feel like letting them win. Because that voice, even cracked, even lip-synced, even trembling is still her. And as long as she's got it, she'll use it how she chooses. Not for the charts. Not for the Grammys. Not for those greedy ones of you who see her as a product that is to remain Daydream Mariah forever. For her. And for the ones who still need it. And if you don't need it, leave. She is an artist. She knows that when she walks on that stage, somebody in that crowd remembers who they are, because they see her still fighting to be. She was never supposed to make it. A mixed-race girl with a broken home, bipolar disorder, and a five-octave range? Please. But here she is. Still here. Still selling out stadiums. Not because the industry let her. But because she refused to disappear. So have some humanity inside you and stop projecting your unresolved issues on her. Imagine yourselves in her position. When she is ready, she will speak her truth. Until then, enjoy what she has to offer now, or enjoy her legacy. It's all there. She is as real as it gets right now, medicated and all. That is her, a human being. And she is still showing up, looking like a goddess, selling out, going number one every year. Love to you all. (Friday 23 May 2025; 00:28)

Lol (108,824) by Junaid from United Kingdom Muhammad Ali died in 2016. The chances of him getting back in the ring are zero. (Friday 23 May 2025; 00:02) this is a reply to message 108,806

Lol (108,806) by Tony Lorenzo from UK Great fan you are. No appreciation for her age. Would you expect [Muhammed Ali] to get back in the ring bow and win? Mariah was at the very top vocally, for years. You can't stay there forever. No appreciation for her bipolar. Or the fact she has kids now and thus more important things to think about than whether people like you will criticise her performances. She's the queen and always will be. I cant wait to see her show this summer. It's about the camaraderie with other fans, and the music, which we all sing along too more than stand there listening to whether her vocals are perfect. Leave her alone and take the negativity elsewhere. (Wednesday 21 May 2025; 22:36)
