Re: What should Mariah do now? (73,133) (73,134) by Malcolm from Asia Celine lip syncs that high note in All By Myself every time and her voice has changed too but unlike Mariah, she doesn't drink alcohol and is a pro at lip syncing. (Saturday 25 February 2017; 21:01)

Re: What should Mariah do now? (73,127) (73,133) by Stacey from USA I don't know if MC had vocal surgery. I think along with telling MC what to wear, how to act, Tommy Mottola also did all he could to protect that voice. Sure, he was thinking of money, the bottom line. Nonetheless, if we look back at when her voice started to deteriorate, it was around the time of her divorce. TM was no longer able to do what he could to protect his investment. I wonder why after all these years, MC's voice has gotten worse while someone like Celine can hit that high note from All By Myself 20 years later. (Saturday 25 February 2017; 19:30)

(73,132) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) First things first hopefully all the members of the Archives family are in the best of health and spirits. Now onto the meat and potatoes of my post while I myself must admit some of Mariah's choices as of late are a bit much. I must also remember that she is human just like the rest of us, which means she is going to experience peaks and pitfalls like we all do. Also I find that some of us here find any little thing to complain about Mariah related just for the hell of it. Yes her voice has changed, yes sometimes she dresses too sexy but she has been doing this for two decades now the shock should have worn off about a decade ago. Lastly yes Mariah should take time for herself and her family but God forbid she does then people will find fault in that. At this point even though we as her extended family know that she is capable of doing better I think we have to let her make that decision and just pray that things come full circle for the better soon.

Re: What should Mariah do now? (73,123) (73,131) by TJ from Norway Or was it the nosejob what changed her voice in 97? Just asking. (Saturday 25 February 2017; 18:00)

Re: Lionel Richie postpones tour (73,119) (73,130) by Edward from USA I'm with you on that. She should release "Kick Rocks" or one of those songs she has in her vault. It doesn't necessarily have to be a single, just something to keep us entertained in the meantime. I'm pretty sure many of her unreleased songs are way better than most of the things she's been putting out lately. When "Help Me Make It" was leaked, it was a great surprise. "100%" wasn't a hit, but it was definitely well received. I have a friend who just heard "Almost Home" a week ago for the first time, and he told me he's falling in love with her music all over again. Since most people don't stay or watch the end credits of movies, most people were not exposed to "Almost Home". This time my friend decided to leave the movie playing on until her song started playing at the end. That's to prove that she doesn't really need hits to connect with her audience. She just needs great lyrics and an honest delivery. (Saturday 25 February 2017; 17:42)

Re: What should Mariah do now? (73,127) (73,129) by Jose Jaam Andrion from Panama Performances like those of Dubai, will sound good only for delusional people. (Saturday 25 February 2017; 17:38)

Re: What should Mariah do now? (73,127) (73,128) by Malcolm from Asia Agree. If she can do that with her body, it's beneficial if she do it with her voice too. Maybe it's crucial but that's why there's A-list doctors in the world and there are also a lot of singers that has successfully undergone vocal surgery. (Saturday 25 February 2017; 17:34)

Re: What should Mariah do now? (73,123) (73,127) by Edward from USA I also suspect that she had vocal surgery around '97. I personally think that vocal surgery wouldn't do anything for her if she doesn't lay the booze and the weed down. We've come to lower our expectations so much, anything is considered good these days. It's sad, but it is what it is. And the thing is that she gets on stage and she really thinks she's killing it because she goes an octave up here and there or because she hits a whistle note. Everything these days sound choppy, but who am I to complain? If these Dubai performances are great for the fans, that should be it. (Saturday 25 February 2017; 16:31)

Re: Lionel Richie postpones tour (73,119) (73,126) by Billy from England, UK I agree lol. (Saturday 25 February 2017; 13:37)

Re: Dubai (73,118) (73,125) by darrian liu from taiwan But one problem were her belts. I notice that some of belts above B4/C5 were either non-existent or really quite strained and chesty. With more practice, she would be fine, considering how in SSFT she could belt D5s and Eb5s with minimum effort. (Saturday 25 February 2017; 11:31)

Re: One More Try - Dubai (73,116) (73,124) by Andrew from UK It didn't last longer because it goes into notes that, on the balance of probabilities, were engineered in the studio and not a true reflection of what Mariah laid down for the track. However, the part that she did perform in Dubai of OMT was nice to watch. It's nice to see honest singing. (Saturday 25 February 2017; 11:20)

What should Mariah do now? (73,123) by Andrew from UK Since the tour is not happening as planned, suggest Mariah go get vocal surgery. She sounds the worst she's ever sounded. Hitting a few notes does not a good singer make; it actually has to sound good, also. I suspect she already had surgery around 1997 and maybe 2013 and what we are hearing is the result. However, if not, time to get surgery. There's nothing to lose, anymore, really. (Saturday 25 February 2017; 11:08)

Article: Lionel Richie's concert tour with Mariah on hold (73,122) by Capri_ from China I heard Lionel's fan were attacking Mariah on Facebook after NYE, how about now? It's Lionel's problem to hold on the show not Mariah's. (Saturday 25 February 2017; 9:59)

Re: Lionel Richie postpones tour (73,119) (73,121) by Dennis from Miami, FL I really wish she does something to fix her public image. And I wish Lionel a speedy recovery. (Saturday 25 February 2017; 8:12)

Re: Dubai (73,118) (73,120) by Tyler from USA After this showcase, especially the Emotions intro. I don't want to hear any discussions about her voice for at least a month. I think she put us all in our place. (Saturday 25 February 2017; 3:42)

Re: Lionel Richie postpones tour (73,115) (73,119) by Licia from USA She might as well get back in the studio or put out another single since she has time (yes I'm being selfish lol). Didn't she push back the dates for the Vegas shows to do the tour? I wonder how all that will work out now. (Saturday 25 February 2017; 2:20)

Dubai (73,118) by darrian liu from taiwan While not to the standards of the vocals in the Europe SSFT, it's still really good. Her voice sounds clear and smooth. I like it. (Saturday 25 February 2017; 0:05)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey almost caught on fire while filming video (73,109) (73,117) by Lila from United States Petty never works in her favor though. She should just stop and let it go. (Friday 24 February 2017; 22:49)

One More Try - Dubai (73,116) by Billy from Greece I'm done. It was impeccable, even better than the studio version. Wish it lasted longer. (Friday 24 February 2017; 21:23)

Lionel Richie postpones tour (73,115) by Billy from England, UK So he's postponed the tour due to a knee injury. I wonder what Mariah will have planned to do now that she won't be touring with him for a while. (Friday 24 February 2017; 21:11)

Article: Mariah Carey performs One More Try (73,114) by Chicago Lamb from USA Nice to see Perez not saying mean things for a change. (Friday 24 February 2017; 20:39)

Lionel tour on hold (73,113) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The "All the Hits" tour has been put on hold until summer since Lionel apparently is recovering from a knee surgery. (Friday 24 February 2017; 20:30)

Lionel tour postponed (73,112) by RibbonB from USA Wow, the coming tour is postponed due to Lionel Richie having knee surgery. I hope all goes well. This gives M. more time to prepare, rest or whatever. (Friday 24 February 2017; 20:27)

Empowerment (73,111) by RibbonB from USA I wonder if Mariah is capable of operating a dictionary? Because empowerment in the real world generally means the process of becoming stronger and more confident, especially in controlling one's life and claiming one's rights. It is ashame that she has let that process be colored by Blusherella the bat bish and her spawn and extended bat family and Batananka is included in that too IMO. But perhaps she gets strength in this new darker dystopian approach. (Friday 24 February 2017; 18:52)

Re: Dubai gowns (73,100) (73,110) by RibbonB from USA The black dress is by far the best, but yes one slit on the side would have been even better. (Friday 24 February 2017; 18:46)
