Re: Rare gem: Mariah - Underneath the Stars (Drifti (71,312) (71,330) by Licia from USA I miss these type of remixes. Resung vocals and new beats. No cut and paste vocals. Artists (not only Mariah) actually went into the studio and created brand new songs that sounded sometimes better than the original. I just need people to appreciate Underneath the Stars period. That song is magical. Original and remix combined. I agree B that TGIFY remix helped a lot. I like the original, but I love what they did with the remix and alot of people besides the lambily loved and appreciated it as well. (Monday 16 January 2017; 10:28)

Re: Mimi L (71,321) (71,329) by Licia from USA Thanks. I was scrolling through the comments and that picture caught me off guard. It's just stunning. (Monday 16 January 2017; 10:14)

Does Mariah actually see a vocal coach? (71,327) by darrian liu from taiwan Although her SSFT and Vegas vocals show improvement in consistency from let's say, 2014, the best days of 2014 are pretty much equal to the best dates of SSFT and Vegas. Pretty good support in her belts up to Eb5, basically almost nothing good above E5, good lows down to C3, solid head voice, and an overly chesty, heavy mix where she often closes off her throat above C#5/D5. Technically, she's been stagnant in that position since 2009. That's definitely not a sign of someone seeing a vocal coach or someone with a healthy set of vocal cords. In fact, I don't think Mariah shows signs of both factors. For the love of God, please Mariah, see a vocal coach. Preferably vocal trainer with classical method, or see the one Whitney hired in her last days, Gary Catona. He managed to salvage what's left of that instrument of Whitney in her last days, so why couldn't he do the same to Mariah? So it turned out that he works with clients who have damaged their voices in one way or another. In short, he's the perfect vocal coach for Mariah. (Monday 16 January 2017; 10:07)

Article: Russian billionaire spends £2.5million hiring Mariah Carey (71,326) by Dennis from The Netherlands I think it displays bad taste to judge somebody else their wedding, especially if you can't do it any better. Same goes for singing. You weren't even there, so why be anything but nice? (Monday 16 January 2017; 8:37)

MW episode 6 : Mimi L review (71,325) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter 1) So you all remember this picture? So Anthony comes to MC and asks her if she knows this image is on her instagram. Mariah says "no" and Anthony is like he doesn't even know they were taking pictures. Mariah says she wouldn't have posted it if it was her. Kris asks what's wrong with it? And Mariah says that Anthony is worried James might now like these to be on social media and Mariah says well James is not always checking out her instagram as he's busy making billions of dollars. Well just because someone is busy making billions doesn't mean that automatically makes these ok M, how would you feel if it was the other way around? Stop defending the Bulochnikovs please. Anyways Anthony says he thinks Mariah should definitely approve what goes on her social media. Anthony is the best thing on the show. 2) Drama-naka is back selling his pity story about feeling bad about his leg. Another dancer cracked his ankle. 3) So Mariah on the plane, suddenly decides she wants to fix Bryan's hair. Side note: his hair was perfectly fine to begin with. Anyways so she gets on his lap to fix his hair while he's holding her by the waste and everyone is like what on Earth? Back at the hotel Stella teases Mariah about Tanaka crushing on her and Mariah acts like she doesn't know what Stella is talking about, all the while she has this huge smile on her face and acting like a pre-teen who found out the cute guy at school has a crush on her. 4) Mishka is going through Mariah's lingerie and she asks Mariah why she doesn't wear these? Mariah asks how does she know if she wears it or not? Mishka says she thinks M should wear it out for public outings like lunch/dinner. Apparently it's also fit for breakfast outings. Girl. Now we know who put the "bra out" era into motion. 5) Mariah tells Mishka she wants to talk about that scandalous photo she posted and tells her she's not mad but she wants to see pictures before they go up. Mishka keeps arguing that there is nothing wrong with it because Mariah looks great in it and her ass looks in great shape and it's a great photo so she doesn't understand why Mariah would want to keep it to herself and not share it. Mariah says everyone is having a drama fit over it, Mishka still keeps arguing there is nothing wrong with it and that it's a great photo and keeps buttering Mariah up, that works pretty well on Mariah and so Mariah doesn't say anything more. 6) Tanaka is out and about in Paris with Mariah and her entourage and he's in a robe. She's buying clothes for Tanaka and fixing his dress. "Mariah is a tough woman that I see myself with" - Drama-naka. Go home boy. He also does not look happy seeing Mariah in that wedding dress 7) Mariah and Monroe both look gorgeous in the wedding ensembles. The dress is so gorgeous, I can't get over it. 8) Stella comes yelling at Anthony because the ass picture has gone "viral" and that's a good thing so Anthony has to go tell Mariah that. Stella thinks Anthony shouldn't question her judgement and that since Time magazine did an article (25 reasons why Mariah's insta is better than yours), so that means Mishka is doing a great job. Mariah also agrees with Stella and asks Anthony why is he always messing with other people's kids and that she was right to hire Mishka? (Playfully.) I'm here thinking like it's fine because it went viral? M is this for real? Is this what it has come down to? 9) It's Stella's birthday, James is here too. 10) Prince death news. Stella says they have a show to start but at the moment Mariah can't stop crying. Mariah comes on stage, talks about Prince and holds a moment of silence for him. 11) Vodka launch party. James actually looks a lot better on video. He seems sweet too, Mariah thanks him for coming to the show and says she's sorry she was such a mess on the show because of Prince's death. James assures her she wasn't and that she was fabulous and blew everyone away. She then says she wanted to dedicate "Hero" to him but thought it was appropriate to do it for Prince. James says "You did it for me before, darling you never have to do it for me again." Mariah then tells him he's a great person and that no one ever tells him that enough but he's a f**king great person haha. Drama-naka is out there throwing sad looks. 12) I can't with these people using "Camouflage" for Bryan two episodes in a row. Haha, "Camouflage" plays when Bryan is crying or upset about Mariah. Some next level soap opera shit right there. RibbonB I'm dedicating "Camouflage" to you. (Monday 16 January 2017; 7:40)

Re: Article: Russian billionaire spends £2.5million hiring Mariah Carey (71,309) (71,324) by Bill from the UK Completely agree Marissa. I never thought the day would come when I would say these words, but I can actually sing better than Mariah Carey. Wow. (Monday 16 January 2017; 7:19)

Re: Article: Russian billionaire spends £2.5million hiring Mariah Carey (71,309) (71,323) by Liz Archer from Sweden Yes but who is going to say she did a terrible performance, everyone around her probably says you did so great. It's not like she google herself and watches her own performances. I have often thought she needed to do something drastic but I think she is to proud and she won't do what's necessarily. She probably just want to have fun and lost her interest in her career. I'm not saying you should sing perfect every time. She just makes wrong decisions all the time. She needs a reality check. I personally thinks she should loose the body suits and gowns, The bling diamonds and show her real self, but I just know she won't. (Monday 16 January 2017; 6:51)

(71,322) by Liz Archer from Sweden I'm so disappointed by MC lately. It's like she won't grow up and take adult decisions. The stupid diamonds, her tv show which flu is more on her co-hosts and fake drama. If this really was a documentary as she claims this would be about her music, scenes with her singing on stage and so forth. Her diva behaviour with I'm eternally twelve and that stupid boy toy is making her unlikable. And you wonder why James broke up with you? You where all over him. I hate how he smiles towards the camera, it's like he loves the attention and it makes me question why he really is with Mariah. I wish she would find a guy that wasn't memorised by the fame and was ok to be in the shadows. At least such a guy would not take advantage of 5 min of fame. Sorry, ranting big time. I just sick of it all. And where is the new music? (Monday 16 January 2017; 6:39)

Re: Mimi L (71,310) (71,321) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Hey Licia, so I never saw this picture of her either and it might even be an edit, I'm not sure, but I found it on instagram and thought she looked so pretty and I loved the hairstyle. Here is the picture. (Monday 16 January 2017; 6:28)

Andrew (71,320) by Ian from United Kingdom OK. Here we go. Can we all just get real and all agree Mariah was a great singer/songwriter in the 90s, Stella is a c**t, she has been lipping for most of her career, her voice is f**ked, she doesn't care any more and that bride should get her money back. Oh yeah (and I never thought I would ever say this), Andrew seems to be one of the few who actually makes sense on this board. Like myself he is a fan, but is sorta kinda "keepin' it real" I'm glad I'm old enough to have seen the Daydream, Rainbow and Charmbracelet tours (I even enjoyed the Sweet Sweet Fantasy gig, for the nostalgia, but being front row shows all the discretions). My husband slagged off MC over the NYE incident and for the first time I didn't have the strength to cover for her, I simply told him I loved her as a singer songwriter but didn't like the person much. With age comes wisdom (kinda). (Monday 16 January 2017; 5:06)

Re: Stella i.e. All about eve / Single white female (71,302) (71,319) by ktktkt from Philippines Well, Stella is worse than Motolla. Atleast Motolla introduced the "Great Mariah" that we all adore. I don't care if that's not the "real" her. I will rather just continue watching/listening live performances of the "make-believe" Mariah of the Daydream era (or earlier) instead of the real Mariah of 2017 who can't even lipsynch for her life. I think Stella only cares about the money, can't she encourage Mariah to take care of her voice? Or hire a vocal coach? (Monday 16 January 2017; 2:21)

Re: Nonsense (71,280) (71,318) by B from USA JP used Mariah to up his profile and because she's beloved in Japan where he was having legal problems. (Monday 16 January 2017; 2:11)

Rotterdam Daydream vocals (71,317) by ktktkt from Philippines I have to listen to this after hearing her recent gig of the young Russian couple's wedding. Where did this vocal go? Perhaps, where did this woman go? This is her best sound and technique (effortless). I can't stop wondering (though it is crazy to think) that the real Mariah has been cryogenically frozen by some mad scientists and will slay in the year 2030 and the one that we're witnessing right now is just an impostor/fake. Please bring back the "real" Mariah. Lol. (Monday 16 January 2017; 2:11)

Re: Tragic (71,299) (71,316) by ktktkt from Philippines She's cracking like she has no control to her voice anymore (it's not even the so-called intentional breaks that she does a lot). And yes, every karaoke singer is better than Mariah of 2017. I'm not gonna watch any of her "live" performance or appearance in YouTube until she drops a new album with incredible vocals. I know it will be overly produced but no amount of auto-tune or technology can "mask" a damaged voice. It hurts to hear and to know that the once mighty voice that she had ended up like this. (Monday 16 January 2017; 2:01)

Mariah Carey slayed, now they can't hear (71,309) (71,315) by Edward from USA Marissa, I once said I didn't want to see the day Mariah's voice would end up like Whitney's, but if she doesn't do something, that's where she's heading. It's really sad to watch such performances. It is even sadder that she charges much more money than she would get from a regular concert, and still doesn't deliver. I know that the people who live in "Nodules and Polyps Excuse" and "She Needs 20-day Vocal Rest" Lands would come with a thousand excuses, but this is not acceptable. I would ask for a refund. Oh, maybe it's the quality of the video, it was just recorded with a cellphone. Yeah right, how many times will we make the same excuses? When she has a production behind her she's able to pull these magical performances with all the smokes and mirrors, but things are coming to the light little by little. Will she ever address having irreparable voice issues? I doubt it, but I think it show she's just a human and people would be much more forgiving. The cat is out of the bag, or maybe we just didn't want to see it. (Monday 16 January 2017; 1:55)

Re: Article: Russian billionaire spends £2.5million hiring Mariah Carey (71,309) (71,314) by B from USA I think she's been drinking heavily since the NYE debacle and smoking weed (she was photographed entering and exiting a marijuana dispensary) and hasn't been working with a vocal coach and hasn't been implementing the not speaking for a day or two before performances. She slayed in Vegas and during her Christmas concerts which proves when she's focused and we'll rested she's still capable of delivering the goods. Unfortunately, instead of allowing Mariah to take a break from preforming Stella keeps booking gigs and Mariah keeps allowing it knowing she isn't ready, prepared, or able to perform to the standards she's always going to be held to. Mariah please stop drinking and smoking and start working with a vocal coach. If these horrible performances continue I'm not sure I'm going to want to see her this spring and I've already purchased my tickets and it wasn't to see Lionel. I love Mariah but if she didn't stop drinking and smoking she's never going to recover her voice fully. Did you know when you quit smoking your voice gains a octave or two? (Monday 16 January 2017; 1:50)

Rare gem: Mariah - Underneath the Stars (Drifti (71,312) by B from USA It's great to see this song getting some love outside of the Lambily. Mariah's singles also included several remixes. Everytime I hear someone say the only reason TGIFY reached #1 was because Lambs purchased multiple copies I'm shocked. That single reached #1 because of the remix featuring Joe and Nas. That remix is still played on the radio. Yes, the original is forgettable and bland but the remix is fire. (Monday 16 January 2017; 1:36)

Re: Tragic (71,305) (71,311) by Licia from USA Yeah those were not so great vocal moments. Wish this social media break entailed her taking a vocal break too, but I understand that these were things that were already booked before the hiatus. I'm not going to beat her down too much. I'm just going to hope she sounds better for the Dubai jazz fest in February. (Monday 16 January 2017; 1:04)

Mimi L (71,310) by Licia from USA Where is that picture from in your avi? I've never seen it before and she looks absolutely gorgeous. (Monday 16 January 2017; 0:56)

Article: Russian billionaire spends £2.5million hiring Mariah Carey (71,309) by Marissa from USA This was not money well spent. In the videos I've seen, she sounds absolutely terrible. Seriously, if no one knew her back catalogue and that she was once "Mariah Carey" people would think she was that tone-deaf aunt who got up on stage, always thought she could sing and never could. I can understand having an off moment but she didn't even sound like a professional singer on that stage. That looked like a slightly upscale talent show. I just don't get it. Are her vocals irreparably ruined or has she just been putting no effort into cutting out drinking and getting vocal rest? Listening to that wedding performance was tragic and humiliating. I truly don't believe that Mariah loves herself. She might be full of herself, but that doesn't mean that she actually loves herself. When you love yourself, you hold yourself to the standards of excellence and you take care of your God-given gifts. A person who loves themselves would never constantly subject themselves to so many cringeworthy and humiliating vocal disasters and then frolic off into the sunset bullshitting themselves into believing that it's okay. They always say that one of the signs of depression is giving up on self-care. Just because Mariah always steps out in full hair and makeup doesn't mean that she's taking care of herself. Self-care is about a lot more than making sure you look cute. The fact that she even does performances as bad as this wedding performance and can still look herself in the mirror (and probably won't do anything to improve for her next performance) is proof that she's given up. I never thought I'd see the day where Mariah, the "perfectionist" would be so comfortable having a track record of vocal f*** ups. (Monday 16 January 2017; 0:44)

Re: Stella i.e. All about eve / Single white female (71,302) (71,308) by RibbonB from USA Now it would be hilarious if Stellar takes lead from "Single White Female" and sneaks into Boynaka's room at the Dorcester, dressed as Mimi and well you know the rest if you've seen the movie. Of course this should all be captured for the MW cameras. Then Stellar can skip the killing him with her high heel shoe part, but they can just wander off into the sunset confessing their true love for each other. (Monday 16 January 2017; 0:21)

Re: Mariah's World (71,304) (71,307) by RibbonB from USA I still don't do personal attacks on twitter, but I do laugh when I read some of the IG posts and tweets of fans going all the way in. I miss Anthony's DGAF responses too. (Monday 16 January 2017; 0:09)

Re: Mariah's World (71,304) (71,306) by RibbonB from USA No doubt you are right. They are rolling out all of this stuff for people to discuss, so they can't be surprised by some of the reactions. Good luck watching tonight. Lol. (Monday 16 January 2017; 0:06)

Re: Tragic (71,299) (71,305) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter What do you mean? The fact that she's performing at a wedding? I don't think that's necessarily bad, a lot of A-list celebs do that, plus this girl is Antonio Banderas's daughter. Or do you mean she should actually be on rest instead of over working herself? In that case I agree, she really needs to take some time off to rest. Or are you talking about her voice here? Those were definitely some bad vocal moments, especially "My All". I hope she is not ignoring her instrument. Her voice is a gift and she seems to have forgotten how she once talked about losing it because of smoking and how she prayed and prayed to get it back promising she'll give up smoking and then she got it back. (Sunday 15 January 2017; 23:59)

Re: Mariah's World (71,296) (71,304) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Liron is just sucking up to Stella so that she can stay in Mariah's Squad. She knows she needs to be in Stella's good graces to be allowed near Mariah. (Sunday 15 January 2017; 23:53)
