Re: Mariah Carey and R. Kelly (69,744) (69,748) by THE TRUTH from USA R Kelly's video of him having sex with a 13 year old girl and urinating on her in spite of his acquittal on 14 counts of child pornography in my mind should have excluded him from being an appropriate choice for a duet on a Christmas song. Is this the best way to recharge her career? Go Stella. Great management. Pedophiles and Satanists in the mix probably not the best idea, I hope he doesn't spend any time around Dem Babies. See link.

Re: When Christmas Comes "Live" with John Legend (69,670) (69,747) by Andrew from UK You do talk some absolute delusional rubbish. Mariah lips because her voice is seriously damaged and she cannot physically sing songs all the way through unless they're slow and/or in some high whisper. Facts are facts because they're facts. The last "O night, when Christ was born" in this shows how ridiculously wanton her actual capability is compared to the pre-record. Everything is lip-synced to high heaven, or strained and painful - and the recent poster who said that her voice actually no longer even sounds nice to listen to, isn't far off the mark. And it is clear that her voice is being engineered to [censored] on her albums. Like most people, I would love Mariah to get on stage with a microphone and sing a song all the way through, without backing track, sound good and look like she's enjoying it, but she doesn't, because she just can't. There's a reason she didn't go the group song at Diva's Live. Because she would have been skinned. (Saturday 10 December 2016; 12:19)

Re: Mariah's final Vegas shows rescheduled (69,721) (69,746) by Andrew from UK Whoop, another little reminder you like to go to Vegas and sit in the front row every other weekend. I think everyone will know you haven't got flights and hotels booked because you would have announced it here already, right? (Saturday 10 December 2016; 11:56)

Miss Monroe introducing herself (69,745) by Licia from USA That was the cutest thing ever. Roe Roe and her little smoker's voice. I want to know what Roc was whispering in his mom's ear. Apparently it's a secret. Roc looks like he'll tell everything (he gets that from Nick lol). I need him to speak more because I'm nosy and that baby knows things. Lol. (Saturday 10 December 2016; 11:54)

Re: Mariah Carey and R. Kelly (69,738) (69,744) by Licia from USA Thank you RJJ12 for the full video. I also would like a proper song/duet from them. It just seems like with how great both of them are at writing it could potentially be a great song. They both write beautiful motivational songs, but I'd love to see if he could maybe tap into her sensual side and come up with a sexy song. I don't think Mariah would touch anything in the same vein as one of his more trashy songs though. That would be hilarious nonetheless. Lol. (Saturday 10 December 2016; 11:47)

Re: Variety interview (69,725) (69,743) by Sasha from Nomansland What's the most dramatic thing we learn in this interview is that she doesnt know who she truly is. Well at least it would explain a lot of things. (Saturday 10 December 2016; 11:03)

Re: Variety interview (69,725) (69,742) by Malcolm from Asia Well this is one of it. I hate them, their reactions hurt me. They disclaimed that they don't spread hate but they obviously pick her bad performances and poke fun on her, they are such bullies. These people are the ones who acts like Beyonce is the bitch and the queen of all things, too bad they're not aware that even their queen lip syncs, she's just so good at it, you too Celine. (Saturday 10 December 2016; 7:16)

Re: Bodysuit stop lol (69,715) (69,741) by SM from Citizen of the World I get it, it's cool, Beyoncè did it, but not for Christmas. Mariah please stop lol. The theme for the SSFT works but not all the time now. I can't deal go back to your gowns and I think last year her ensambles were the best for the Beacon shows. (Saturday 10 December 2016; 6:36)

Vocal rest (69,740) by SM from Citizen of the World Does anyone remember Mariah would always be on vocal rest before performing and using flash cards to speak and humidifiers all over her room? I wonder if she still gets prepared like this? (Saturday 10 December 2016; 6:29)

Mariah and R. Kelly (69,739) by darrian liu from taiwan Their duet was really sweet. I love how smooth Mariah's voice sounded and just how effortless her singing was in this song. (Saturday 10 December 2016; 5:10)

Mariah Carey and R. Kelly (69,738) by 123 from USA Here is a the full video just for you Licia. The vocals were reserved, but all live. Very nice performance. I have been waiting for them to have a "real" collaboration. I always felt musically he was the male version of Mariah in regards to being a singer, songwriter, producer multi genre artist. I love all the love R. Kelly gave her at the end. I need a song with killer lyrics from the both of them. Work on the song until its magic. As Mariah would say, "Just a hopeless dream." (Saturday 10 December 2016; 5:02)

Re: The voice (69,708) (69,737) by 123 from USA Hello Myles. Prior to Mariah's Vegas shows I would say you are 100% accurate. Her "live" voice were shot to hell. Since her Vegas shows she has actually started to care again and has started to belt again. Granted, she is only belting in her mid to lower upper mid range (Bb4-E5) and lips any belt above an E5 or even a lower belt she can clearly hit but avoids because its a vital point of the song live in Hero. She has slowly stripped away a few usual lipped parts on certain songs which is rare. Every once and a while she will go for an F5 but usually avoids it to avoid sounding rough or flat. I hope she continues to improve. Watch the "diaryofMariahcarey" channel on YouTube. They only post live moments of each show and have been tracking her progress. Here are some videos of her recent live range on her September Vegas shows, her August shows and her impressive SSFT vocal range. Are they 90's vocals or near to where she used to be, especially with all the lipping? No. But it's a huge improvement. What's improved the most is her tone and fluidity in her voice. It can be smooth and silky now when rested live. (Saturday 10 December 2016; 4:43)

Re: Variety interview (69,726) (69,736) by Marissa from USA It doesn't surprise me at all Edward. Every now and then a few lambs come out of the woodwork telling us, "Relax. Mariah's fully in control of her life. She knows exactly what's going on," but if Mariah's statement is true, she really doesn't even know the basics. How can she protect her reputation if she doesn't know what it is? That one quote from that interview explains why her actions have been so tone deaf compared to what the lambs have been begging her to do at every turn. She has no idea what's going on. Mariah being totally oblivious to her reputation is like a singer singing live when they can't hear themselves or a blind person being a hairstylist. You can't expect a person to nail it if there are no feedback loops. It honestly seems like she's less in control of her life and career now than she was during the Mottola years. The only difference is Mottola team's total control and smothering presence, she resented, and the Bulochnikovs' total control and smothering presence, she embraces.

Article: Mariah Carey reschedules final Vegas residency dates (69,735) by RibbonB from USA Well, at least she won't be working on the kids birthday for a change. At least not in her Vegas shows. (Saturday 10 December 2016; 2:39)

Re: Mariah's West-World (69,731) (69,734) by RibbonB from USA Here is an article that explains a bit more, but using West World not MW. West World got 3. 6 million live viewers, but the weekly total including replays should be about 12 million which is huge for cable. Speaking of Westworld, an SNL parody of Mariah's World as Mariah's Westworld would be friggin' hilarious. Real Mariah and host Mariah. Wish I had time and interest to write my own fan fiction. Too much to do during the holidays, but the thought makes me chuckle. (Saturday 10 December 2016; 2:37)

Re: Variety interview (69,725) (69,733) by Lannister from USA I thought it was great. Loved that she reiterated the #1 thing is the music. Very excited for what's to come. (Saturday 10 December 2016; 2:22)

Re: Are the Emotion's whistles live or lipped? (69,716) (69,732) by darrian liu from taiwan Actually she uses the same prerecorded vocals for the whistles in Emotions since TECS. However in some occasions she does them live, like the SSFT Oslo date. (Saturday 10 December 2016; 2:02)

Re: Mariah's World ratings (69,728) (69,731) by Lila from United States I've read the same and that I would understand but the article didn't specifically include any reference to DVR or reruns or anything else. It just mentioned the premier night. I'll just wait and see if there are any better articles written on the ratings. (Saturday 10 December 2016; 1:54)

Madonna's sales vs Mariah's (69,730) by Ben from Sweden Why does it say on wikipedia that Madonna has sold 300 million records world wide, making her the most successful artist. I thought Mariah is mentioned at that. I don't get it. Can someone explain? (Saturday 10 December 2016; 1:43)

Re: Beacon Shows (69,705) (69,729) by Special K from USA Girl you and me both. I'm sitting here pouting, mean mugging my husband and my kids, lol. I'm too done knowing I missed R. Kelly and Mariah. (Saturday 10 December 2016; 1:32)

Re: Mariah's World ratings (69,724) (69,728) by enwar00 from usa I think because of DVRs and people watching recorded programs later at their convenience, initial #s don't take into account people later watching the program. Like you I'm also not a ratings expert, but I feel like I've read that. (Saturday 10 December 2016; 1:03)

Re: Variety interview (69,725) (69,727) by Ben from Sweden Maybe she means it in a way that she's not telepathical. Hehe. (Saturday 10 December 2016; 0:59)

Re: Variety interview (69,725) (69,726) by Edward from USA Marissa, does it really surprise you? To my understanding Mariah knows what people think about her just when the noise is so loud that it pokes a hole in her bubble and she can't help it because it is everywhere, just like what happen with the Rockefeller Tree Lighting on 2014. Other than that, she really lives in her own Bubble-Land. I think it is important for her to guard herself from most tabloids and gossip sites, but you should have a sense of how people perceive you in general to balance things out. (Saturday 10 December 2016; 0:30)

Re: Variety interview (69,717) (69,725) by Marissa from USA "I don't know what people think of me. I had this conversation with Ellen DeGeneres and I was like, 'I don't know what the biggest misconception about me is because I don't know what people think.' I don't know." This is the most horrifying and alarming quote that she gave in this interview. (Friday 9 December 2016; 23:11)

Mariah's World ratings (69,724) by Lila from United States Updated ratings article on Deadline. The article basically says that Mariah's World garnered nearly 4M viewers, E. and Bravo viewership combined. Honestly I was stumped as to where 4M came from, especially as they only mention the premiere night views and not reruns of the episode and say that E. only drew 689k total and Bravo 1. 3M total. Then I realized that regardless of the fact that the article has told us outright that only a little less than 2M (1.3M + 689k) tuned in total, they added up the separate demographics: adults 1.2M, women 18-49 904k, adults 594k, women 18-34 442k. Total that gives us 3,140,000 viewers. That's basically a padding of the numbers in my book though as people are being counted twice or three times as though there's more than one person when it's not. Yes the person is an adult, a woman who fits the 18-49 bracket and the 18-34 bracket but that's still one adult. Then on top of it, it still remains that E. viewership was crazy low and those who watched on Bravo were more than likely just too lazy to change the channel. Still, I won't pretend to be a ratings expert so anyone else good at understanding these things, please chime in with your opinion and/or expertise. (Friday 9 December 2016; 22:58)
