About 90sMariah from SG: What?

Re: Maroon 5's half-time show (87,879) (87,897) by 90sMariah from SG I didn't watch the entire thing. FYI, the halftime show by Maroon 5 has a million doe votes, not because it's bad but because they teased and cheated SpongeBob fans. SpongeBob fans on Reddit petitioned for NFL halftime to feature "Sweet Victory", but they did it only for two seconds which angered the fans. The gesture was supposed to honor SpongeBob creator Stephen Hillenberg who died of ALS last year. So that's the real tea. (Tuesday 5 February 2019; 13:57)

Dreamlover in Saudi Arabia (87,869) by 90sMariah from SG I gagged. She used the MSG 95 version of Dreamlover. Lol. I ain't mad I'm just amused. I wish she went full throttle with it: re-purpose her old amazing live performances to complete a full set of her old hits and then pre-record her newer songs and then dedicate a week or more to rehearse the songs to make it look like she's really singing them. She seems to always half-ass everything these days that she no longer cares about the quality, or lack there of, she's putting out there. Mariah, you need to commit and run away with it.

If given an opportunity to meet Mariah (87,861) by 90sMariah from SG By the miracle of Buddha, and she asks you to be honest with her about her performances and voice quality over the past few years, what would you tell her? (Saturday 2 February 2019; 05:21)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey wows fans in Saudi Arabia (87,854) (87,856) by 90sMariah from SG I know. I really hope that she spends more time rehearsing (pre-recording and practicing her lip syncing) on her set list for her upcoming Caution tour. Am I the only one who's sick and tired of her usual repertoire? They sound so stale to me now and her lack of passion in singing is making it worse. Tbh, I don't even miss her belting, I just kind of wish her vocal agility was still there. (Friday 1 February 2019; 18:28)

Article: Mariah Carey wows fans in Saudi Arabia (87,852) by 90sMariah from SG I watched videos of her Saudi performances and wow they were bad. She was so hoarse that nothing was coming out, making her dodge every mid range notes. My All was my favourite of the night and it was horrendous. I wish I could get paid millions while doing the bare minimum like her. I wish she or someone from her team could read this: Mariah, please for the love of everything that is holy, when you're going to do a show pre-record all your songs, practice and rehearse to lip sync the hell out of them. Celine does it all the time (thus preserving her voice) and she's amazing at it. (Friday 1 February 2019; 15:49)

Article: Mariah Carey wows fans in Saudi Arabia (87,838) by 90sMariah from SG She looks bloated again. (Friday 1 February 2019; 03:12)

Re: The Roof (87,816) (87,837) by 90sMariah from SG Your taste level is questionable. (Friday 1 February 2019; 03:08)

Re: Proceed with caution: Saudi threats (87,807) (87,815) by 90sMariah from SG It seems like she's hard up for cash these days. Even in her current vocal state, she can't say no to high paying gigs and shows because those splashes and pill bottles ain't going to refill themselves. Let her be, it's all about the money for some people. So who cares if she will be performing in a terrorist-cradling (I hope you haven't forgotten who funds most terrorist groups in the world - yes SA) country, right? (Thursday 31 January 2019; 09:23)

Re: Vanishing (87,792) (87,799) by 90sMariah from SG The roof is overrated? Wash your [censored] mouth. (Wednesday 30 January 2019; 13:28)

Article: Mariah Carey to perform in Saudi on Thursday (87,742) by 90sMariah from SG Oof. (Monday 28 January 2019; 10:22)

Article: "Lip Sync Battle" debuts season 5 trailer with Mariah (87,035) by 90sMariah from SG I don't think it's a good idea to be associating yourself to lip syncing especially when you are being accused of it constantly. This is just opening more doors to mockery. (Friday 14 December 2018; 04:12)

Re: Fallon (86,177) (86,184) by 90sMariah from SG Who cares? She lip synced the hell out of the song that I couldn't even know for sure. That's what I and many of us have wished for that she could pull off a good miming and she did it really well and she didn't embarrass herself. So that's all. (Sunday 18 November 2018; 16:02)

Caution album (86,127) by 90sMariah from SG It's pretty good. I believe it's her best work since Memoirs. I'm skipping MIAM on purpose because that album is a incohesive mess, imo; I didn't like most of the songs and I haven't listened to that album since 2014. Anyway, unlike Caution, the album feels and sounds cohesive. I love 8th Grade, The Distance, Portrait, A No No - love them all, ok? Yes, it didn't have those big vocals that she used to have in her previous works, but I like it. She no longer has to prove herself to anyone because she's done it all vocals wise. So - congrats, Mariah. I really do hope this album goes to number 1 next week, you deserve it. That's all. (Saturday 17 November 2018; 17:36)

Genius interview (86,126) by 90sMariah from SG It was good, but it would've been better if she could just answer the questions without going on a loop or on a tangent. Just answer the questions, Mariah. Then she'd pretend to whisper to herself to echo what she thinks the people involved in her stories are saying or what they're going to say about her responses. It's like she's talking to the other voices in her head out loud lol; it was pretty frustrating and strange if you ask me. Also, she should try and learn how to own up to her past works regardless of their history, instead of dodging and acting defensive (like using the word emblazoned in two of her songs, or Glitter). She kept saying it's all in her upcoming book blah blah, when the questions didn't even require her to give full details just short anecdotes. Oh, Mariah. (Saturday 17 November 2018; 17:27)

Emotions is one of the hardest songs to sing (85,856) by 90sMariah from SG That even Mariah struggles to sing it. Why does Mariah keep insisting on singing Emotions in her performances? The song is already out of her range and vocal capabilities, and she sounds really bad "singing" it live. Even the whistles look obviously pre-recorded. Her trying to and struggling to sing Emotions is one of the hardest things to watch. She's just putting more focus on how damaged her voice is now. She has gazillion other songs to sing, do them instead of the vocal suicide that she had created. (Monday 12 November 2018; 17:44)

Hero rehearsals Shanghai (85,823) by 90sMariah from SG I'm pleasantly surprised with her voice here. And the note change in "and the sorrow that you know" is really good. I wish she had done it in her live performance. (Sunday 11 November 2018; 09:41)

Re: Bipolar and vocal issues (85,667) (85,693) by 90sMariah from SG She hit puberty? Lol. (Wednesday 7 November 2018; 03:26)

Re: Mariah's voice returning (85,618) (85,645) by 90sMariah from SG I've watched videos of Mariah's shows in Manila and Tokyo and I was genuinely wondering if the pitch in the videos were altered because she sounded like a squeaky, high-pitched mess. But I don't think they were. It seems like her voice is stuck in that single pitch and tone. She no longer has the airy, agile and breathy medium/lows. At least in 97-2005 she still had it. It's kind of hard to listen to/watch now, tbh. (Monday 5 November 2018; 19:45)

Re: With You > TD > GTFO (85,107) (85,109) by 90sMariah from SG The Distance > GTFO > With You. There. Fixed it for you. (Friday 19 October 2018; 16:26)

The Distance (85,025) by 90sMariah from SG I looooove this freakingcarey so much. It's perky, fresh and fun. I can't wait to hear the rest. (Thursday 18 October 2018; 08:45)

Re: Ariana (84,924) (84,928) by 90sMariah from SG I hope Mariah does reach out to younger singers, especially those who have idolised her since young age. (Tuesday 16 October 2018; 11:12)

Her SG venue (84,861) by 90sMariah from SG When I heard that she will be at the Star Vista theater for her concert, my BF and I thought: "Oof." First of all, the theater isn't even in the city area, or where where artists of her caliber should be performing at. Her last concert in Singapore, she was at the Singapore stadium - stadium, guys, stadium. Although she only used a third of it, but still, it's a venue worth her stature. Last I checked, her November concert still hasn't fully sold out yet (only the VIP has sold out) and the rest are still available. I guess the demand for her is really low this time so the current venue would suffice. BF and I will not be watching her this time since we've already seen her in 2010 and 2015. Best of luck to her. (Sunday 14 October 2018; 15:03)

Missing crowd of fans in Japan (84,847) by 90sMariah from SG I noticed that she no longer had huge crowd of fans waiting for her when she arrived in Japan. She used to be big in Japan, they go crazy for her over there, but the videos and pics I've seen of her, the once big group of fans that followed her everywhere are now gone. That must hurt. (Saturday 13 October 2018; 21:25)

Just why? (84,649) by 90sMariah from SG Why record a song you know you can't sing live? What is the point? She is the one responsible for the melodies and words of her songs, so she controls the pitch and key of her songs. Why does she continue to punish herself by making herself look bad? Mariah, please just stop embarrassing yourself and the people who still care for you. You can no longer sing well. I'm sorry, but your once majestic voice is gone. Time to retire it. You have the gift of creating music, why not write for other people? We'll support you through them. (Wednesday 10 October 2018; 13:36)

"Live" at the AMAs (84,631) by 90sMariah from SG One thing I can't fault Mariah with is her consistency when it comes to performing "live". She has once again showcased her now famous signature Mariah moves (or lack of it): lip-syncing like she's lazily chewing gum, an ensemble two sizes too small and standing there like a bored statue. I mean, I really wasn't expecting much since the song is super boring, but wow - she made the song even more boring I almost dozed off. Lol. I guess "Yay" at least she looked pretty, right? Right?
