Beacon (58,387) by Ty from USA No. A bunch of JC penny shoppers are here at Mariah's show. Lambs pray for me. (Sunday 13 December 2015; 1:23)

Re: Deedre, that's life (58,383) (58,386) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Aw, you are welcome. You are a sweetheart. I think we just get caught up sometimes and forget that underneath even though the picture and circumstances seem to be different, and things like money and fame or race or background seem to separate us. If we are willing to look beyond all that with compassion we find we have the same insecurities highs lows hopes and dreams. I so resonate that Mariah had a song for every moment in my life that was a voice for my experience. If she decided to stop tomorrow, she wouldn't owe me a thing as a fan. I appreciate it all.

Travon Austin, Bill (58,384) by Edward from USA Travon Austin, nobody would ever think you are in love with me, everybody here knows you would never cheat on Mariah. Thank you for you words, I really appreciate your comment. I had gone to the concert and I was just waiting to write my experience objectively. I was being true to what I experienced. I think Mariah is up to something, musically that is. I kind of have the impression we'll have new music soon. Bill, I'm glad you liked my post. When the woman is putting an effort and delivering consistent performances, it should also be said. I'm glad this year has being very positive for her, she seems to be in a wonderful place. (Saturday 12 December 2015; 23:28)

Deedre, that's life (58,383) by Edward from USA Thank you for your words. I really appreciate the good vibe I get from you and your posts. You said something that resonated with me as if you knew me, and it was about being compassionate. I even got a little teary-eyed and I'm not a crybaby. It is just that through this double-edged sword called Internet we sometimes become so detached and cold that we forget that entertainers are just human beings like the rest of us, with the same imperfections and insecurities. Insecurities and imperfections that we sometimes think money and fame could change in us, but we could see how people with money and fame go through depression and even end their lives. I guess that through her early work Mariah connected with all of us because she was that person going through the same issues we were all going through, whether it was depression, family dysfunction, heartache, bigotry, jealousy, betray, etc., with the only difference that she had the voice and lyrics that could reach the masses and we found comfort in that. Name a bad situation, and I can name you a song from Mariah that could be applied to that. I can say that I feel happy I could catch Mariah on one of those great moments in her life. I think I needed to see her without that worried look in her eyes while performing. It seems that Packer bring some sense of stability to her life. I'm not here dissing Nick, I'm just saying that Mariah looks more than happy, she looks serene and secured in herself. Thanks again. (Saturday 12 December 2015; 23:09)

Re: The "Beacon" of light at the end of the "Theater" (58,370) (58,382) by Bill from the UK That was such a good read Edward, I'm so glad you had such a great time. I would absolutely love to see Mariah at one of her Christmas shows. (Saturday 12 December 2015; 22:42)

2015 Beacon shows (58,381) by Mike from FL, USA Her vocals are getting better and better with each show. 12/11 show is just pow. (Saturday 12 December 2015; 22:11)

Dear May (58,380) by Edward from USA It is always nice reading your posts. I also agree with you as to why on earth Mariah can't usually pull this off life for the world to see. The Christmas show was worth every penny my friend paid for. (Saturday 12 December 2015; 22:10)

Welcome back Edward (58,379) by Travon..SweetSweetFantasy from USA Edward I love it when you post. You bring me into a dream with a touch of mesmerized reality. Your post bring me peace and captivates my mind. You are open in your writing and you are very classy. Your writing is articulate and feels real to me. You always keep it real. I like it very much. For the record, I am not in love with you nor do I like you affectionately. Just saying. Don't want to confuse certain members of this post. Nice to see you comment every once in awhile. (Saturday 12 December 2015; 21:48)

What is your favorite MC Christmas song? (58,378) by Ardis Logic from Earth This is my favorite at the moment. Happy holidays. Peace and love to you all. (Saturday 12 December 2015; 20:45)

Marissa, don't waste your time (58,377) by Edward from USA Marissa, I don't know why she keeps coming for you or Mimi L. when she keeps getting her behind kicked with simple words. In 16 years being a member of this board, never have I seen so much arrogance and delusion. She actually thinks she's lamb royalty. I'm the type of person who usually gets along well with everybody even when they might have different opinions from mine, I love variety, but this person really gives me a bad vibe. It is as if I could see her dark aura through her bullying messages. Even when they are supposedly positive she's always throwing shades or stirring the pot. I have said it before, I can't stand bullies, know-it-alls and those who always blame everything that happens to Mariah on Benny, Tony or any other conspiracy theory. If Mariah is to be responsible for the good things in her life, like giving an excellent Christmas show, she should be also responsible for many of the bad things that happen to her too, not all. But when you are like a horse with blinkers looking only in one direction, there won't ever be a way for you to see things differently or even consider that things might not be the way you see it. I hope I don't offend anybody with these words, but sometimes I don't even think she's a really woman. There's nothing womanly about this creature, even when she talks about lipsticks, ponytails and makeup. (Saturday 12 December 2015; 20:36)

Re: The "Beacon" of light at the end of the "Theater" (58,370) (58,376) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada I was hoping you would post about the show, and you did. Thank you, Edward. I'm so happy you had such an incredible night. I am also very glad you brought up YT vs actually being at a live venue, Although I have not had the opportunity to see Mariah yet (I am determined to see her, it's a dream of mine) you can never judge from YT it just isn't the same. I have been to live things, and it's just not the same at all on YT. She will have her vocal ups and downs as a human. That's just part of it. Things evolve and shift all the time. I guess I just don't see the value in being angry at her for it, or spending hours on end trying to prove what's lipped, what's live and what's prerecorded. It's called life. For me, I'd rather just take each moment for what it is. When we lose our compassion for each other what is left, right? She's going to have highs midtones and lows just like we all do. It's always about what you choose to do with them. Anyway, sorry for rambling, your experience made me smile, thank you for posting in detail about the concert. I may not have gone yet, and I know it seems odd since I've been a fan since I was 12. It's not for lack of trying lol. But reading the recaps take me right there. Thank you. Merry Christmas.

Re: Silly criminal (58,363) (58,375) by May from Denmark The claim itself is silly, now Mariah happens to be a master hacker, next someone will say she was Anonymous the time IS daesh twitter accounts were put down lol. Mariah Carey doesn't even know how to use a computer and that's worldwide known, even said it herself, if she uses tablets is because even a toddler can do it, it's an intuitive gadget, she has no time for computers, she is busy doing real music the old way, a plain handy recorder, phone recorder and using mixing apps. If someone came to her with a tune and she thought the tune being presented to her was theirs that's not her fault. She has been accused of the same with TGIFY in the past and the claim was dismissed, I won't deny I had my doubts back then because the tunes sounded pretty alike in some parts, but it has happened many times that some tunes happen to sound similar. Madonna has been in the same boat as well as Shakira, and this last artist has ben creating music since she was a child and Madonna gets music handed to her so I would always take those theft accusations with doubts. (Saturday 12 December 2015; 20:22)

Re: The "Beacon" of light at the end of the "Theater" (58,370) (58,374) by May from Denmark Great review from your perspective about the show Edward. It's always nice to read first hand experiences, it's true watching clips never come as close as live. But I got to say just watching the clips (I'm grateful for the technology now at days the videos fans record seem to come in better sound quality every time more) and I notice all those things you mentioned right away, overall the part where she doesn't seem out of breath. Her show is having very positive reviews around. If only she could reproduce such success on national television that should clamp some people, but somehow I also think that people just won't accept the fact that Mariah is being really all out real and will just throw arms in the air claiming lip synch. The other day I was actually thinking that she should do a live a capella, completely, not just bits out of cameras for the fans like she does sometimes or tiny easy pieces here and there in interviews, I'm talking a whole song a acapella on tv like the ones she presented in the beginning of her career, now that would silence everyone. I really liked it when she sang AIWFC with Jimmy and the toy instruments. She needs to do something like that again, it was fun and very well done. (Saturday 12 December 2015; 20:04)

Re: Beacon show was... (58,366) (58,373) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Thank you, I feel the same way. (Saturday 12 December 2015; 20:00)

Re: Silly criminal (58,363) (58,372) by B from USA Are you serious? Mariah surely has people for this type of thing and I highly doubt she did what you're claiming. (Saturday 12 December 2015; 19:19)

Re: Acting brand new (58,357) (58,371) by Marissa from USA You truly are a pathetic and miserable shit-starter to wait months to respond to this post to once again attempt to continue this bullying witch hunt against me when I'm minding my own business. I do not apologize for anything I've said on this board so you might as well stop coming for me. Unlike you, I have a range of emotions. I am not 100% positive or 100% negative. You are the only one dumb enough to believe that if someone experiences more than one emotion that they are fake or acting brand new. Last year it looked like Mariah was throwing everything she worked hard for 24 years away and not giving a damn about her legacy, so no, I was not going to be polite at that point. My emotions reflected the state of her career. There was extremely little to be happy about then. I am way more positive now because there are way more positive things going on in her career. Her voice is improving, her body looks amazing, she's taking on new projects, etc. There is pretty much nothing to complain about, therefore I'm not complaining. But let you tell it, that's fake. With your bullying, shade throwing, shit-starting and desperate need to create cliques you are truly one of the most negative and divisive people on this board. I've done none of those things. I have just stated my opinions and minded my own business. (Saturday 12 December 2015; 18:36)

The "Beacon" of light at the end of the "Theater" (58,370) by Edward from USA As an early Christmas gift I was presented with two tickets to go see Mariah Carey on December 9. I had commented to my friend T.J. from Norway, a long-time poster here, that I was happy but that I wasn't excited. I had been reluctant to see any of the clips from the night before because I wanted to experience the show for what it was supposed to be. It was my third time seeing Mariah on this venue, the first time was when she taped the VH1 Save The Music special and sung with with John Legend, and the second one was last year. I have to say that I was speechless this third time. I wasn't looking into spoiling my night looking for imperfections or trying to spot lipsyncing moments, but I was paying close attention though. I was thinking: If you're going to do any lipping, at least I hope you do it right, a thing I had criticized her for in the past. I was on the fourth row, and there was the queen. I have to say that if she lipsynced anything on the show, she did a [censored] great job. There weren't any spinning moments, head-turnings, arm covering her face or broken ear-pieces. Mariah was on fire. Never had I seen her so comfortable on stage after the 90's were gone. Those airy whistles of the past few years were instead crisp and sharp as if Mariah from 1990 had traveled in time for that show. I was speechless. I hadn't experienced such a rush with Mariah in a long time. Last year's show was ok to me, but this year she literally came to slay, as if I was looking a different person in terms of voice quality and confidence. Yes, when she couldn't hit certain notes here and there she resorted to her whispery voice, but that was very rare during the show. She wasn't pitchy or running out of air, she was actually singing. She went for notes I hadn't seen her go for in many years. And she she went for them, you could see she knew she got it like when she first sung "Vision of Love" at the Apollo back in 1990. She seems to be taking care of her voice, and that must've boosted her confidence too. I didn't care that she just stood there, what I cared about was that Mariah was there to do what she's known for, not write, dance or being a diva, but for singing her heart out, and she did an excellent job. Watching clips on the Internet and being there up close and personal are two different experiences. Mariah looked neither skinny nor fat, she looked solid and tone. I was so close, it was surreal to me. And even though I don't care much about those things, I have to agree with Mimi L., her hair, makeup and ensembles were fabulous that night.

Re: The case of the shrinking waist line (58,368) (58,369) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Lol Lee, Stella's "weight loss" is pure unadulterated bad photo shop. Especially the last one. It's a mess. Mariah's on the other hand looks legit because hers are candid shots. But yes to them bikini shots in the snow, water, heck hot tub, I don't care, but we need them. More importantly, I am still campaigning for a new music video and extensive photo shoot (not just 3 darn pictures). Make it happen. (Saturday 12 December 2015; 18:07)

Re: The case of the shrinking waist line (58,361) (58,368) by Lee TS from USA Mariah's practicing some sort of witch craft to gather that waist, just kidding. But no she's definitely doing something and the weight is literally just dropping off of her. It's not only her though, her manager Stella is losing the weight with her. Again, I really hope they're doing it the natural way. Mariah did not look like this during Halloween or she would've been a slutty witch which would've been just as festive. Yes, she is looking absolutely amazing, tens all around. Hope she gives us bikini moments in the snow by the hot tub, minus the flu. (Saturday 12 December 2015; 17:25)

Re: Silly criminal (58,363) (58,367) by Ardis Logic from Earth Mariah Carey, #1 selling female artist of all time, mom of twins, and now computer hacker? Will this woman's talents never end? (Saturday 12 December 2015; 17:05)

Re: Photo (58,360) (58,364) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter It is legit. But details are not known as of now. Last I heard tickets go on sale on the 17th of December, maybe we will get an announcement soon. (Saturday 12 December 2015; 16:24)
