There is no album, it's all facade (108,741) by Bobby A from United States
I miss those studio pics and capitions: Just leaving the studio at 6am. Wrote a smash song with Jermash. Lol.

Exactly, wrong singles and uninterested videos. I still have a bitter memory for Migrate not being released as a single with a proper video. Ugh.

Slow moving (108,739) by Malcolm from Asia
I believe that the reason why she's not moving as much as she was 2 years ago is because she's being cautious to avoid making mistakes in her lip sync. This is a new era where the concerts are 90% lipped, so as much as she wants to be carefree, she can't because she might miss her cues.

There is no album, it's all facade (108,738) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
I don't think she's lying about working on music, but I also don't think she's as invested in making an album. What I mean is as a songwriter she must constantly be getting tunes and lyrics in her head and she probably writes it down or does a quick demo but never actually goes full into production. I'm deducing this from her saying she has 10 songs she just needs to add vocals etc. I also think after the flop of her last few projects she's scared of releasing new stuff because no matter what people think numbers are a big deal to her, it's her flex, so she's scared of losing. But what she should know is her last few albums didn't flop because of lack of quality, it was because of wrong single choices and bad videos that no one would rewatch.

I think the overdose of botox during years makes her face expressionless. I know alot of people that ignore the danger of putting poison into their flesh and how it will effect them when they do it.

GYN was a big hit here in Europe. I love that song.

"I know her kids are really young but they're probably the only ones who truly care about her."

It's sad, but I completely agree with you. I wouldn't mind if she never sang or toured again, as long as she's healthy and present for her children, that's what truly matters. They clearly share a deep bond, and at this stage in their lives, they still need her more than anything. I really admire her job as a mother, not trying to mold them into copies of herself. She's let them be their own people, and that says a lot about the kind of mother she is.

When she tours, lambs ask why she's touring when there's no new material, and gets accused of being lazy. So she teases and creates rumor that there's an upcoming album when there isn't any to shut them down.

That's been her MO since she became a Christmas lady. Y'all should get used to the fact that no album is coming. The whole .Paak thing is more facade from Mariah. She just wants to piggyback on her legacy and name to tour because there's no more money from albums and recording anymore.

She's creatively and artistically bankrupt. Sorry to be the one to post obvious.

For me, it's pretty obvious that Mariah has some debilitating health condition, and I'm surprised not more people think that or can see it like I can. The evidence is all around us. The truth will come out one day, and probably very soon.

MC needs a break from touring and concerts. She needs Marvet Britto back for a total make over. She was the best publicist/strategist in 2005-2006 that MC has ever had.

New Mariah album (108,730) by Bobby A from United States
I didn't read or hear it anywhere. I guess not one media outlet or the world is asking MC where is MC16. Sometimes I want too much to happen for MC that I know is not the case or will never happen.

Deeply concerned (108,729) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
I was wondering the other day why is Mariah still touring when she clearly doesn't want to. Is it a financial reason? Is it a contractual obligation? If it's financial I wonder why then she keeps adding to her expenses by renting out really expensive houses when she has her amazing penthouse and I'm sure other properties she owns. Also it must not be cheap always having her glam team around with all these tours. I really hope she's doing good and if not I hope someone is honest with her about it. I know her kids are really young but they're probably the only ones who truly care about her. Mariah didn't need gimmicks or choreography to be a strong stage presence. All she needed was a mic stand and her voice with a spotlight on her and she'd be mesmerizing but she just seems to disengaged and not feeling it nowadays. It's sad. After all the hard work she's done in her career I would hope she's at a comfortable position now where she doesn't have to work if she doesn't want to.

Get Your Number (108,728) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
Ok I'm here to rant. I was rewatching the Mimi videos and tell me why GYN isn't a big hit. The song is catchy AF, I love Mariah alternating between rap-style and singing. It's such a sexy song and I love how it kinda flips the table and has a female empowerment or alpha female vibe to it because she's the one making the moves on the guy, buying him drinks, telling him not to be shy and flexing her luxury lifestyle. The video is done so well too. I love every scene and Mariah looks great in every shot especially the white blazer look. The video has great visuals, a celebrity cameo, a story line overall great replay value. It's sad not many people know this song. I mean come "I got a pip penthouse with a sick hot tub, we can watch the flatscreen while the bubbles fill it up" yas Mimi.

Born this Mimi (108,727) by Edward from USA
Did you really think that when the label decided to list her birth year as 1970 that Patricia, her own mother, wouldn't be one of the first people briefed on it? I don't think Mariah randomly came up with that on her own, but she had to go with the program. At the time, it was common practice to round down or adjust the ages of female artists for marketability. It happened with Mariah, with Madonna, with J.Lo, and many others. But at this point, most people don't care anymore.

There's one irrefutable piece of evidence that no interview, driver's license, or altered birth certificate can contradict: Mariah's birth announcement in her hometown newspaper, The Long Islander. It was published on April 10, 1969, exactly one week after her birth, and it reads:

"March 27 - Mariah, Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Carey, Huntington."

This notice is documented in the Suffolk Cooperative Library System, on page 15 of the paper. If Mariah had been born in 1970, that announcement wouldn't have appeared in print in April 1969. It's a clear, verifiable fact.

Back then, you could say whatever and people would just go with it. But once the internet came around, stuff like that became a lot harder to hide. And now? Mariah doesn't even seem to care. Articles say she's 56 this year and 55 the year before, and she's not out here correcting anyone.

Whoever is pushing her to keep tarnishing her impressive legacy like this needs to be fired. There's clearly something off with her, and I just hope she doesn't end up like Michael and Whitney. Beyonce can lip, but at least she dances her ass off and sings her ballads live. Celine was full of energy with a huge production behind her, but Mariah didn't need all that, her voice alone carried the show. Now she just stands there and lips unconvincingly. You would think by now she would at least put on more energetic performances, invest in better production, have more moving parts on stage, or get a new choreographer. It's time to hit the gym without high heels and hit that stage like the star she is. Sadly, her performances are copy-paste jobs. You can see it in the comments on those clips, even the yass queens are starting to notice.

Here is another video with David Letterman. She says she's 24 and that was on May 19th 1994. She would've been 25, right? Apparently, she lied again.

Shenzhen concert (108,723) by Brandon from USA
Xavier, I 100% agree with [you]. I wouldn't mind her lip syncing either if she did it masterfully like Celine or Beyoncé. Lipping should allow her to move more fluid, be more lively on stage and maybe add a couple of moves. Perhaps if she practiced more or hired a coach to help her, she could. But we know she won't.

Not to be too negative, but can we get a new creative director as well? Can we upgrade the production? Am I asking too much?

New Mariah album (108,722) by Zachariah from Croatia
Well, being from Europe and the only Mariah fan amongst my group of friends, this is an everyday question - does she have any other songs except All I Want For Christmas Is You? They just don't know any other songs. Or think, when they hear something on the radio, that that is Whitney Houston or similar.

I have a trouble with seeing her behind the scenes all bubbly and funny and engaged and then on the stage, she is like a Robocop. I think she sounded good and I thinks she is focused to not miss a tone or to hit hose difficult ones, that's why she is so stiff and "worried" on the stage. I mean, if I was lipysincing, I would walk around, dance a bit and just be playful.

I must absolutely agree with you. Last year I posted here a YouTube video where the TV presenter stated as a fact her birth date (March 27th 1970) in a TV show back in 1994 and she just confirmed it by saying yes. For me it was just obvious she was telling the truth, but you said that she just went along with it as a commercial strategy or something of the kind.

That's true. If she were just more convincing about the miming at least, it wouldn't be such a great deal. But this is out of control now and has been for a while when she started lipsynching whole concerts for the first time. I remember last year when I saw on YouTube the first Vegas show and it was lipped in its entirety except for 3 minutes of improvisations. I said here but very few people believed me even though it was totally obvious.

I'd like to think that some of her voice is still there. In fact, the new recordings have been done with her current voice. But I think she lacks stamina, vocal health, training, energy and the spirits in order to be singing live for an entire concert.

She should take a long break from performing, I guess. I was really surprised by the announcement of the international Celebration of Mimi tour. Isn't she (or the people around her) taking this nonsense too far?

MC should just drop MC16 without a first single. Just drop the album after an announcement 10 minutes before midnight. Let social media drive digital sales for the two weeks and then begin a normal Mariah promotional blitz. It would work because the world wants a new Mariah Carey album right now.
