Re: It's oh so quiet (65,639) (65,643) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha in that case congrats to Marissa for making it happen. But I doubt that she took back her social accounts. Speaking of the petition, why is it unavailable? Did someone take it down? (Friday 26 August 2016; 19:16)

Article: Mariah Carey did not throw James Packer computer out (65,642) by Betty from Canada I agree with The Truth above, I am a die hard lamb for life but I can actually believe that Mariah would get upset and throw stuff because I throw stuff too when I get mad. (Friday 26 August 2016; 17:44)

Article: Mariah Carey at Caesars Palace (65,641) by Betty from Canada Great review but I was there and she started only fifteen minutes late mainly because there was a lady who were explaining to us VIP package holders that she has cancelled the meet & greet photos after the show.

Article: Mariah Carey brings spotlight to the Colosseum (65,640) by Betty from Canada I just got back from my trip to Vegas to see her on opening night August 24th with a We Belong Together VIP package that includes the meet & greet photos. Unfortunately for me and all the other lambs there that night, she did the show but she cancelled the meet & greet. I was so disappointed because they told us it was a scheduling conflict and that we would get a partial refund. I don't buy that story because she shed some tears during I Don't Wanna Cry and One Sweet Day. I wonder what really happened. Why did she do the show but not want to meet her lambs afterwards?

Re: It's oh so quiet (65,637) (65,639) by Malcolm from Asia We just hope that it's for the better. Maybe Mariah started again to take charge of her accounts? (Friday 26 August 2016; 16:01)

Re: Mariah's voice (65,624) (65,638) by Musti from UK Watch Vision Of Love/Infinity live at the Billboard Awards. I think the whole thing makes my point pretty clear. You attempted to dissect yet you haven't actually said anything technical in your post to make you more than a casual listener (as you named it). If you honestly think that Mariah is still capable of the melisma of 1990 Mariah outside the studio, I really truly don't think you've been watching any of her live performances from this decade. You really shouldn't create this artificial standard that she herself is still trying to recreate. She is human and her voice changes just like any other human beings. You would really be doing yourself a favour if you begin to accept. (Friday 26 August 2016; 15:49)

Re: It's oh so quiet (65,636) (65,637) by Butterfly from I notice something different since the United Nations event. Very quiet. No instagram post for weeks, latest tweet without hashtag and she liked a tweet since forever. (Friday 26 August 2016; 15:12)

It's oh so quiet (65,636) by Lara from Middle East Neither Mariah nor Stella have been active on instagram for a couple of days now. Not even a mention that the new leg of Las Vegas started. Any thoughts? (Friday 26 August 2016; 14:18)

Thoughts (65,635) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Mariah did relatively fine for her first night at the Colosseum. I hope she gets better in the following shows and end it with a bang rather than a whimper. Meanwhile, on a completely unrelated note Britney Spears just released her best album in years while Carly Rae Jepsen dropped an EP of outtakes from last year's widely critically acclaimed E-mo-tion LP, which pretty much means I'm gonna revel in pop nirvana that will tide me over until the next few months, or hopefully long enough until we hear new material from Mariah. I really hope that Empire track is good enough to spark some public interest. (Friday 26 August 2016; 12:57)

Mariah throwing a laptop (65,634) by darrian liu from taiwan Ok, so when will this story be buried? Waiting for a Stella clapback but I guess she only does that when the rumors are concerning her family. (Friday 26 August 2016; 12:46)

Article: Mariah Carey at Caesars Palace (65,631) by Kajal from UK- Birmingham Really nice to hear a positive review for our lady - she deserves it and she is truly great. (Friday 26 August 2016; 11:54)

Elie Saab (65,630) by Malcolm from Asia I looked for Elie Saab's designs, just what May suggested and his style is really great. He already designed for Angelina Jolie, Cate Blanchett, JLo, Taylor Swift to name a few. So I made another edit from his, this and this. I do also believe that Mariah must try shorter hairstyle, it fits perfectly on her. (Friday 26 August 2016; 10:39)

Article: Mariah Carey did not throw James Packer computer out (65,629) by Gloria from Hong Kong Give us a break. When you give yourself a name of "Truth" yet barely believing it, it's almost as absurd as the false report. I meant no offense, just saying. (Friday 26 August 2016; 6:05)

Re: The voice dilemma (65,608) (65,628) by Tevin from USA I wish Mariah did what she did in the Daydream era. It's kind of ironic that the Daydream era was her most technical live singing wise (minus the runs in the butterfly era), but the Daydream cd was one of her most easy cd vocally wise. Probably the only two that would have been easier to record was Memories, and Charmbraclet. Anyway the point is she should record a solid album with simple lyrics, clear and catchy hooks and in a key that she can perform live, and that would allow her to pull a Daydream live moment and out sing or sound better than her recordings. Anyway my two cents for the night, just incase you guys want to cash out now. (Friday 26 August 2016; 4:39)

Re: Tragedy in Italy (65,621) (65,627) by Andrew from UK I'm the first in line when I think Mariah is doing, or has done, something wrong in recent years. A random earthquake in Italy? Argument for arguments sake. With all due respect to the dead, not her circus, not her monkeys. In saying that: there was a justified anger at the silence in Orlando. Your position is bizarre. Who cares what Mariah Carey thinks about global natural disasters? Next up: Mariah Carey's position on the middle east peace process. You're nonsense, mate. Laughable nonsense. (Friday 26 August 2016; 3:52)

Re: The voice dilemma (65,611) (65,626) by Andrew from UK Are the songs lowered enough to allow full live vocals? Talk semantics all you like. It's dancing around the issues. (Friday 26 August 2016; 3:31)

Mariah's voice (65,624) by Terna from Nigeria When I read some comments on Mariah here especially about her singing and voice, I sometimes chuckle because if you understand music, you'll know that most commenters here really just are casual listeners. Have you ever even tried as a Mariah Carey fan to delve deeper into the technical aspects of music and voice? I know I sure did. You'll be surprised how many things about her music, her technique and her tone on certain songs suddenly make sense for example. Ok guys. Let me try and disect her voice, really break it down for you to see exactly why this woman's voice is outstanding. Randy once called it the holy trinity. Tone, talent and technique. Mariah possesses all three in droves. Her tone is like no other, instantly recognizable and very pleasant to the ear. This places her in a special category of singers you never really get tired of listening to. The talent as you already know is there it's what enables her to sing on key, without being pitchy, and sing the same song a million different ways. Technique wise Mariah's voice is at the peak a voice can be trained, all registers are accessible to her and her Vocal bridges smoothened out thus her ability to transition easily (DFAU that sustain starts in chest voice and ends up somehow splitting into superhead voice, while still belting in chest voice) and inhuman vocal range. Just even the sounds she makes and the ease at which she sings, her agility (she has the ability to sing fast) alone sets her a bar above the rest. All these attributes combined with superhuman stamina, resonance and forte (volume), make her a singers' singer - the standard. Thus the ever so popular phrase "you're the next Mariah Carey".

Re: The voice dilemma (65,609) (65,623) by Terna from Nigeria I'm sorry but you lost my attention when you used "off key" and "Mariah Carey" in the same sentence. Mariah Carey even on her "worstest" (yea I know this isn't a word) day cannot be found singing "off key". That woman sings with perfect pitch. Have several seats with that claim.

Celeb comments (65,622) by RibbonB from USA Celebrity comments generally mean nothing, change nothing and so what if two celebs took to twitter to express empathy about an earthquake. Fine if they do, fine if they don't and for the victims it's just the opposite. (Friday 26 August 2016; 0:09)

Tragedy in Italy (65,621) by THE TRUTH from USA Once again Mariah is so wrapped up in her own ego that she couldn't even say a word about this travesty. Lady Gaga and Mark Zuckerberg aree putting their money and celebrity where their mouthes are, God bless them. Mariah for all the prancing around in her underwear flashing her diamonds on James yacht there in Italy, you'd think she'd have the decency to step out of her bubble for a second and say or do something. Hell she's been going to Capri since the 90s and her brother lives in Italy too. (Thursday 25 August 2016; 21:12)

Brat Ratner Rat Pac Tea (65,616) by RibbonB from USA I just stumbled accross this on the twitter this AM. M. has some questionable buddies according to these industry comments. (Thursday 25 August 2016; 19:29)

Re: The voice dilemma (65,615) by Special K from USA Hmm, I've seen Mariah twice in Vegas and I'm telling you she was singing live and her voice sounded really good. To me she can sing her 90's songs with more ease than her recent hits. That girl sang LTT and I about died. Call me crazy but to me Mariah is singing in a lower key and yes, she can still hit them high notes. I swear during LTT she hit a note that literally rang in my damn ear. Mariah's issues are consistency, not being able to hold notes as long as she used to, and lip synching way too damn much during these tv performances because she is either lazy or too focused on how she looks. She doesn't appear to take the live tv performances seriously. During her Essence Festival performance there were times when her voice cracked, she couldn't hold certain notes and looked at the background singers for vocal support but that's okay though. I wish Mariah felt the same way. (Thursday 25 August 2016; 18:56)

Re: The voice dilemma (65,611) (65,614) by Tyler from USA Thanks you so much for the receipts. Mariah has been giving steller vocal moments performance after performances yet we focus on a few high notes lipped. In cases like My All, she sounds ten times better and stronger than the pre records. I cannot wait until Mariah releases new music. So over the discussions about miming, Stella, Nick ect. (Thursday 25 August 2016; 18:48)

Re: The voice dilemma (65,607) (65,611) by darrian liu from taiwan Actually she does lower keys of songs. I'll Be There is lowered by one semitone, Emotions is lowered by 3 semitones, Vision Of Love by 2 semitones, My All by one semitone, LTT by one semitone, IDWC by one semitone, Hero by one semitone, Fly Like A Bird by one semitone. So your argument that she refuses to lower the key of the song is invalid. She's been lowering keys of some of her songs since Emotions came out. And uh, struggling to produce notes an octave lower than studio vocals? She doesn't struggle until D5/Eb5, belt wise and the highest note she belted recently in studio is an A5. That's not even an octave, that's just 3 notes away. Head voice? Recent vocals from SSFT show that her head voice still retains much ease up to A5 while her most recent highest studio note in head voice is from Infinity at C#6. Hell, she actually hit the long C#6 head on (albeit it being in the whistle register) in Kelly and Michael and the quality is just as good as the studio version. (Thursday 25 August 2016; 12:10)

Re: RJJ12 (65,571) (65,610) by 123 from USA Hi Will, thanks for your post. I agree completely that her voice now sounds a lot better than the Rainbow era. I was referring to just her tone. When here voice was in decent shape during that era, she focused on singing in that honey/silky tone she is famous for and stayed away from belting. Her tone is very honey/silky like again like during that era. Her belts are so much better. While she still avoids her high belts, her mid belts went from non-existent, to dry and brief, to now sounding full and resonant. She has never been this consistent vocally since the 90's and seems to slowly get better. I guess her having to perform more has lit a fire under her to finally start caring for that voice more often. I can't wait to hear how she sounds in the final Vegas leg and her SA leg of her tour. Let me not forget the Beacon Theater. Someone should make a video showcasing the evolution of her voice this era. (Thursday 25 August 2016; 4:06)
