Seriously, guys? (55,516) by LC from USA
Right when things are finally going up for Mariah is when the "fans" find another thing to bitch about. I could sit here and talk about each and every part of every song on every performance Mariah has done where she has lip synced. I'm sure many of us can. But this debate is so old and stupid. Why do we perpetuate the arguments and speculation? It's not going to change anything. No matter how "offended" you might be from the "deception". Stay butt hurt because it's not gonna change. Mariah lips. So does almost every singer in the industry. So what? She sings her ass off when she does sing live. We're gonna call the TGIFY performances "ok"? Seriously? Night after night she has hit multiple D5s, Eb5s and E5s and phrased with them and sustained them in ways she hasn't since 1901. She has been giving us 100%. Can't we give her props? Can't we say "Great job, Mariah." Can't we say "You did amazingly." Can't we for God's sake just be happy with our favorite singer? She just made it through arguably her toughest year and is coming out on top. We should be celebrating, not being dumb about something that's been going on for so long that it's nearly negligible. Let's be real. Mariah is slaying. No matter what you say. And I, for one, will support her instead of pulling her and the fan base down yet again. This is the return of Mariah Carey. You fans and haters can either recognize it or not, doesn't matter. Mariah always comes out on top.

It doesn't matter which one you pick. Just sit down.

Vegas boxscore released / shows (55,514) by Travon..SweetSweetFantasy from USA
It's official. Mariah Carey had a successful July Month in Vegas. Her shows grossed $5,300,365 and had 6 sellouts out of 9. She sold 34,499/35,846 tickets in July and is ranked 5th on Billboard. I wish they had seperated Saturday and Sunday shows because it statistically would have helped her total ticket sales. It's still great numbers and these stats show Mariah Carey's global power. Here is the Boxscore link.

Vegas (55,513) by B from USA
Mariah lips parts of the uptempos to save her voice for the ballads. It makes sense to me. She's singing 18 songs a night and those songs aint easy to sing, honey. Just saying.

These mermaids ain't Ariel (55,512) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End
I'm shocked and chagrined to find out The Elusive Chanteuse is in fact guilty of mimimg Dreamlover ad nauseum to this very day. It's especially blatant at 0:17 because even I am not a dummy beyond logic's reach. I'm surprised no one else thought to post this to aid in their case. I mean, it's so water tight no one can deny its validity: And here again during Honey at 02:25 the deception continued. It's obvious she uses comedy as a distraction, slight of hand cheap tricks. Mocking us loyal lambs just for laughs on how far we will stretch our integrity to defend her lies. I honestly can't believe the audacity with which she goes about it. It's almost arrogant. I'm disappointed you guys. I mean, I might have been born yesterday but I for sure wasn't born under water. Like Dubyah said: You fooled me once, I can't get fooled again. *le sigh* I guess we still have the doughnut licker as a new standard, right? Anyway, than you for your posts: Dreamlover lip sync (55,505) by Stella Lewis from USA and Lip synch (55,507) by Ian Donaldson from United Kingdom, without you I might still be swimming in a sea of ignorant bliss. God bless.

All these seats, now, which one to pick? (55,511) by Andrew from UK
The Honey performance is awful. Attack me all you like, it sucks, and is not worthy of a professional. And that really can't be argued against. TGIFY is okay, but not really hair-raising stuff. Attack me all you like, it doesn't make it not true. Mariah looked like a high-school girl with stage-fright. Are there any killer performances where she's owning the stage and singing her ass off?

Blue and Mariah (55,510) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
So back in the day, I was a huge fan of the UK band "Blue". I loved all their songs and I loved that they co-wrote their songs. Had a major crush on Duncan. So it surprised me when I saw this article from 2013 which says that Duncan and Mariah went on one date. Apparently they went on an informal date once and then ran into each other a couple of times. I always wanted a Blue and Mariah duet. Just to see how it would go. Lee and Mariah hitting the high notes, Duncan with his sexy voice, Antony's buttery tone and Simon's hunky voice. In the interview Simon also mentions that they'd love a duet with Mariah. I didn't love their last two albums since their re-union and I guess commercially a duet between them won't really do much but I'd still love to hear them collaborate since well my other collaboration dream (MJ and MC) is now impossible.

Trolling for free #1 To Infinity seat a.k.a. A's MO (55,495) by Tevin from USA (55,509) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End
TBH, I think you might have to splurge on more than one chair to accommodate such a giant ass Tevin. Let's start a gofundme. A is actually a great barometer for what's right. Just translate whatever he posts into the opposite and he makes all the sense in the world. In that way he is an asset on MCA and clearly he is desperate to be proven wrong. Hense the shameless trolling for tickets to a Mariah concert. Someone should tell him he could play partially deaf (very successfully might I add) and trick Team Mariah into giving him front row tickets to the Israeli show where he can personally mishear all the notes M sings live instead of through a subpar second medium. He honestly deserves to be disappointed in person. Maybe then he will finally stop trying so hard to like her voice. I wish he knew he doesn't have to live in the agony of Mariah's constant vocal dysphonics. Perhaps once he has escaped the rest of us might have a chance to whom freedom too. Oh, the humanity of it all. Could A be all our hero? No. I daren't speak it out loud. But I can dream. We. Can. Dream.

James Packer (55,508) by JAXGH from United States
Mimi and James probably had that "I also was married to the wrong person" moment and immediately hit it off. Since they are both divorced. Twice. Coincidence? Haha. I think James is still on the pursuing part. It's good to see Mariah getting pampered. James is probably head over heels Mariah. When I think about it, I mean, they both have been rich all their lives. Both very successful. Both live lavishing extravagant lifestyles. Both very private. Both aging. Both been married twice and failed. Both have kids. Who knows guys? He could be the one. Let's hope for the best. After all he might just be God's answer for Mariah's prayers. Also he looks a little bit like Monroe. Am I the only one who see the resemblance?

Lip synch (55,507) by Ian from United Kingdom
As much as we all love Mariah, we have to face facts. She has been lip-synching for many many years. Some parts are just too complicated to pull off live, her voice and range have changed. It is what it is and wether she lip-synchs or not it's still great to see her perform. The world would be a much sadder place if she stopped performing because her voice can't match the studio recordings.

Re: Dreamlover lip sync (55,505) by Stella Lewis from USA (55,506) by MimiLamb from Germany
I don't think it's because she can or can't sing that song live. There will always be parts or sometimes whole songs that are lipsynced (a lot of artists do this during a tour). I believe it's to give the voice a tiny break. Making sure they can sing the more harder songs. Don't know if that is the case but that makes the most sense.

Dreamlover lip sync (55,505) by Stella Lewis from USA
Okay. Don't get me wrong, she's been sounding great in LTT, IDWC, Vision Of Love, etc. But I feel as if Mariah is lip singing Dreamlover. What do you think? Is she? If her voice has been improving why does she still feel the need to lip sync this song?

Ledisi (55,504) by Licia from USA
Ledisi posted a video of Mariah singing Hero from the last show. It's nice to see other singers supporting her (especially females). If you don't know who Ledisi is look her up. She's a fabulous singer. I guess the industry describes her sound as Neo-Soul. I just think her voice is phenomenal. Her rendition of Mahalia Jackson's Precious Lord is soul stirring.

Star on Hollywood Walk of Fame (55,503) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines
Well, I'd say something like "Finally", or "About freakin' time", if it weren't only at the very least 15 years overdue. It's nice that she's getting one now, though it's not like she really ever needed one to solidify her stature and legacy in the first place. But then again, I guess this means there's justice in the world after all.

The gorgeousness that is Mariah (55,502) by Billy from Greece
One of the best if not the best look of Mariah.

The dancers (55,501) by Lee TS from USA
I feel so bad for the girl dancers, the costume department had them looking bleak if there ever was a time to use a Mariahism. It's like they're not allowed to look any type of cute, from a boring black frock to popcorn girls to a silly maid outfit. The boys get to shine, dressing up to dressing down. You can always depend on Beyonce, JLo and Janet to have the hottest dancers.

The last show (55,500) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
Someone uploaded the full videos of the last show of Vegas (July leg). I didn't check them out yet but for anyone that wants to see them here is the link to the channel.
(Tuesday 28 July 2015; 9:23)
Andrew (55,499) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
You have to type in the date of the show along with the performance and "Vegas" as keywords. I have not seen a single complaint regarding her voice in the July leg. I too was worried, like Licia, that her voice may not be in good shape after being on board and visiting places with different climates and also because she seems to have rehearsed just a few days before the main show. But she seems to be in great condition vocally at the moment. Plus I used the word "slay" with good reasons man, I am actually envisioning her riding a horse with her sword (the voice) out and killing anyone who comes in her way with the strength of her talent. She really is slaying now.

Re: Kyle / GP perception (55,498) by nikki from usa
Packer is Brett Ratner's partner in movies. That's why his production company is called RatPac Entertainment. He and Packer make movies and TV together. Brett signed MC up to do a movie based off her Christmas album for her. He was on board and Packer was a fan of her music. Brett was the one who set them up to date because he thought they'd get along great. Just on a personal notion from reading the GP, I can't help but notice how Mariah spent her life dating/married to people she far out-earns. As much as people like to act like she gold-dug with Mottola, she had other options with other labels. By the time they were engaged she was a multi millionaire. CEO of a major label is a six figure salary job, just saying. Derek and Luis were nowhere near MC's money bracket when they dated in '98 and '99-'01, but no one called them gold diggers for simply dating her. This is the first time Mariah's not the breadwinner of the relationship. People are calling her a gold digger and "thot" for dating Packer as if she isn't rich already. There aren't many men in entertainment in her league which means she's going to have to worry about someone wanting her for fame, ego, or money. JP is said to be a "private" man, has his own cash, and already had his youth to sow wild oats. This is probably the best shot of 2 rich people being able to be "just people" in a relationship without ulterior motives.

The [censored] is back (55,497) by Jono from USA
Warning: Do not feed ego. It's one thing to express your opinion, and it's another to just be straight up nasty. Apparently Mariah has been so offensive that it's unforgivable. Keep in mind this is someone who point blank asked the board if he should leave, and when he got an unsurprising amount of thumbs up, still continued to post. Thirsty for attention.

Cmon Andrew (55,496) by Darren from .
I do agree Honey is somewhat not as satisfying as the other performances in Vegas but there are like a lot of songs in which she murders. Don't get me started with TGIFY, that song's performances have been the best of Mariah's in 2015. IDWC, VOL, LTT, Someday, those are great vocal moments. She does still have a problem with uptempo songs, but even Touch My Body is good. Most of the Vegas are actually good, really good. Meanwhile, why did they only give Mariah a star on Walk Of Fame in 2015? It's way overdue. Nonetheless, I'm really happy for MC.

Andrew (55,495) by Tevin from USA
Andrew we are all entitled to our own opinions, but please Google any of Mariah's TGIFY performances in Vegas. Then after that, please send me your address, so I can send you a chair I just bought, that way you can take a seat.

Ms. Andrew (55,494) by Ty from USA
Why do the lambs continue to give this angry child any attention. He's a typical angry gay Stan who believes Mariah is perfect or should be and he has made slight off the cuff racist comments about Nick. Let the racist queen roam around in goatville. Congrats to Mimi on the Star.

Andrew / Walk of Fame (55,493) by Licia from USA
Andrew I can't get with that. I have seen several videos where she sounds great. If she sounded bad I would be the first to say it, but I have to give her credit when it's due. I didn't think she would sound as good as she has been after traveling the 7 seas without a lot of practice for the July shows, but she shut me up quick. Anyway, I'm happy she's finally going through with her star on the Walk Of Fame. She deserved it a while ago.

Well deserved (55,492) by Depora from USA
Another milestone accomplished. A star on the Walk of Fame. Good for her.
