Buying a ticket (58,496) by Luke from United Kingdom I'm considering buying one and going on my own purely because I don't know how much longer she'll be touring and I don't want to miss a chance. I could ask people in my family to come but they've only really liked her older stuff and I feel it might not be enjoyable for them when she sings her other songs. Has anyone been on their own? What is it like? (Wednesday 16 December 2015; 20:44)

Article: Mariah is ready to mingle in teal-green figure-hugging dress (58,495) by B from USA Mariah looks stunning. She's really upped her game and I love that she's wearing scarfs and cardigans. (Wednesday 16 December 2015; 20:31)

Re: Mariah's European tour (58,424) (58,494) by Andrew from UK I missed this post. But, Rene, I am glad you are thinking of me during the festive season. I shall remember to consider thinking of you more often. If it was a genuine question, and not Travis-like [censored] comment, then the answer is: I don't know. I went to the UK Rainbow and Charmbracelet tours. And went to a UK chat show with her on it. And camped outside her hotel several times. And actually got taken from queuing to get a CD signed on Oxford Street in an ambulance and admitted to hospital with meningitis (I stayed until I could stand no more). My criticisms of Mariah's performances over the past few years undiminished I would not not want to go to a UK tour. That being said, I'm not particularly excited (I was for Charmbracelet and it was terrible). I'm worried it will be the same songs as per every show she has ever done, with poor staging, and over-heavy on lip-sync, with duh duh duh "smoke and mirrors". However, it may just be a surprise, as Edward reports from The Beacon, and, perhaps, I may find what I have been missing for the past 2 to 3 years. Regardless, my Australian friend is bouncing off the walls and I may be attacked with a well-aimed didgeridoo if I don't get tickets. (Wednesday 16 December 2015; 20:26)

Wish I could watch the new Funny or Die Sketchk (58,493) by Familitchi from France Unfortunately, it is only availaible to US users of go90. I'm so gutted. She looks beautiful and it seemed funny (Wednesday 16 December 2015; 18:49)

Re: Mariah Carey's opening a $20million museum (58,489) (58,492) by Jared from USA Well, Baby from Dreamville, that's one interpretation. Coming from Dreamville, I'd take it with a big chunk of pink rock salt. I guess we'll just have to wait and see if anything of this sort comes to fruition. The persistent rumors that Mariah and her people have been working on getting a Christmas movie made turned out to be true although it ended up being a Hallmark movie instead of a HBO movie. All I know is, at the ripe old age of 30 years, I may not be the concert-going kind of Mariah fan, after all. I've seen her on her Charmbracelet tour, on her Adventures tour, at her Beacon Theatre taping for VH1 Save the Music when she did the duet with John Legend, and various other tapings and appearances in the NY Metro Area, but in your book, I'm one of those haters. I'm ready to call it quits as far as going to Mariah church and worshipping our idol. I'm not forking over hundreds of dollars for one seat if I am going to be surrounded by screaming lunatics who can't even figure out that taking a seat might help everyone in the venue to enjoy and appreciate the show more. That's all. I'm absolutely certain that Mariah will be around a loooong time in some form and I'll be able to enjoy her on TV and in the movies where people are still allowed to enjoy the show from their seats, and those pesky camera-wielding attention seekers can still be asked to put the damned gadgets away so other paying customers can enjoy the show.

Re: Mariah tickets - bucket list (58,483) (58,491) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada That's so awesome. Happy for you. I'm determined to make it happen too. This tour is so great for the fans in Europe who have been waiting, (Wednesday 16 December 2015; 17:39)

Re: Mariah Carey's opening a $20million museum (58,489) (58,490) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Well I actually didn't even read the article because the headline alone sounds made up. Lol. But the idea of a Mariah museum is cool to me. I can't apologize for that. My comment was more on the basis of the idea itself. (Wednesday 16 December 2015; 17:13)

Mariah Carey's opening a $20million museum (58,489) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Who's the idiot hater who concocted this Mariah Carey traveling museum story? It's obviously written to mock her very successful tours/residencies that are now for sure gonna be a big part of 2016. You guys need to learn how to read between the lines. Every word is strategically placed to make fun of Mariah on an almost (no, strike that) definitely on a personal level. This is some moron's idea of being clever. Whatever [censored], Mariah is unstoppable now that she has a genuinely happy personal life and fulfilment creatively. Team Mariah is on fire slaying dragons and saving lives. That's why reading antagonistic articles like this and [censored] posters don't really bother me. It's just proof MC is hotter than ever. Mariah just made my day, my year and my life with the Sweet Sweet Fantasy tour, coming to a continent, country and city near me. Can you all [censored] please refrain from nabbing the best seats? She's gonna be lipsynching the whole concert anyway, so why come at all? Don't waste your money, be smart, stay at home and invest in cochlear implants instead. Besides, it's much easier to keep complaining about Mariah's voice and music when you just watch 16 seconds Instagram clips. Mariah will understand and the Lambily will for sure appreciate it.

O Holy Night (58,488) by Jeff from USA Last night at the Beacon, MiMi slayed this song. She absolutely deserved the standing ovation. It was awesome to see Mary Ann and Trey with huge smiles on their faces. The voice is back, you all. (Wednesday 16 December 2015; 15:15)

Survey (58,487) by Jeff from USA I would love to hear a mash-up of The Roof/Breakdown. Although it would be sad to let any go, I could replace Dream Lover. (Wednesday 16 December 2015; 15:11)

Re: Make it as festive as we can (58,481) (58,486) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Thank you for taking the time to share this. Much appreciated. (Wednesday 16 December 2015; 14:47)

Re: Survey question for the lambs (58,469) (58,485) by Tevin from USA I would love if Mariah would sing Hero with just a piano playing like she did at Tokyo done during the Daydream tour. Like she showed us the last [...] shows at Beacon concert she still can sing Hero with that light airy voice, like she did back during 96. If she could practice those belts I think she could gives us a performance at least 90% of what that one was. (Wednesday 16 December 2015; 14:19)

Sweet Sweet Fantasy Tour (58,484) by Nowayjoseh from UK Got 1 ticket to go see her at the O2 London and front row at Stockholm. Counting the seconds. Yay. (Wednesday 16 December 2015; 14:07)

Mariah tickets- bucket list (58,483) by Anonymous from Well guys, I never thought the day would ever come that I get to meet Mariah Carey but low and behold I've managed to purchase some Meet and Greet tickets for the 02 Arena. I'm ecstatic. Am I crazy, well yes I am but the last time I got to see her perform was when I was 18 years old in 2003. I'm now thirty and was adamant that I wouldn't miss an opportunity of seeing her again, especially as she finally returns to the UK. Meeting Mariah was on my bucket list and I can not wait to tick it off. I've told my partner that I waiver all gifts for birthday and Christmas for the next 5 years and beyond. You only live once. I'm sharing this because only you guys would get it. Much love and congrats to all the lucky fans finally getting to see Mariah. Hold on in there fans to those that haven't seen her yet, it took 13 years for her to return to the UK, who knows with your country. My Christmas has now officially started, let the countdown begin.

Re: Survey question for the lambs (58,475) (58,482) by Philipp from Switzerland Touch My Body replaced with Loverboy (she never performed the song live). (Wednesday 16 December 2015; 12:51)

Make it as festive as we can (58,481) by adena from usa Not the greatest sound in the Beacon balcony, but I thought I'd share my audio from the show I went to this time (12/14). I love when she talks to the crowd and sings during the band intro because it's Christmas time in the city, in the city. (Wednesday 16 December 2015; 11:12)

Tickets (58,480) by Matteo from Italy Just got the tickets for the Milan show. I'm dying. (Wednesday 16 December 2015; 10:48)

Re: My wig was snatched (58,478) (58,479) by Andrew from UK Save for waiting for someone to rip off a wig somewhere [censored]: that was really great. For the European tour she may want to finally lower the keys to her songs. It would sound so much better, I'm not sure anybody would think negatively of it. (Wednesday 16 December 2015; 10:44)

My wig was snatched (58,478) by Billy from Greece I have killed the replay button over this. Anyone complaining about vocals? (Wednesday 16 December 2015; 9:43)

Re: Survey question for the lambs (58,469) (58,477) by 123 from USA I like your suggestion. Fly Like A Bird really is one of her best songs. The song really is like a spiritual experience. My pick would be trading in Honey - although I love - with a moodier uptempo like The Roof. If would flow in her concert, singing it back to back with My All. Which leads me to my next question. Which one of Mariah's hits that she performs would you like for her to completely revamp the melody and vocals? I love what she did with TGIFU. I always preferred the classic remix but the Vegas revamp made me appreciate the song and love that version. (Wednesday 16 December 2015; 7:57)

Article: It's time we embrace the Mariah Carey that is (58,476) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines This is a great article. It's nice when fans can be honest and try to suppress their biases for a while to acknowledge that Mariah's earlier music verged on bland fair, and that her voice cannot reach the stratospheric heights it has before. Another great artist I believe I could compare Mariah to is Lisa Stansfield. Just like her, she had this rich, instantly recognizable tone. Heck, she came out just about the same time Mariah did (several months earlier) and lost to Mariah at the Grammys for Best New Artist. When she came back with Face Up in 2001, it was evident that her voice wasn't as elastic as it used to be, but she still sounded great. Listening to her today, her voice has aged even more, and just like Mariah, can no longer replicate her studio vocals in her live performances. Lisa had smoking, Mariah had stress and drinking. But both still sound great and while they may not belt out or riff cascades as easily as today's younger singers, their respective vocal tones alone are undeniable and more than enough to school the wannabes.

Re: Survey question for the lambs (58,469) (58,475) by Warrior Butterfly from USA One Sweet Day replaced with Never Forget You. (Wednesday 16 December 2015; 3:15)

Re: Article: After 20 years, Mariah Carey is no longer no. 1 (58,459) (58,474) by May from Denmark While the article specifically talks about music in the malls (it actually depends which article) the title is very misleading. The "DailyFail" was worst, it posted the infamous Rockefeller video at the end rather than an actual one from her current Beacon performance. (Wednesday 16 December 2015; 2:48)

Re: Survey question for the lambs (58,469) (58,473) by Luke from United Kingdom I'd swap Always Be My Baby for The Roof. I like Always Be My Baby but I'm not too keen on how they perform it live. That sneak of The Roof she gave at Jimmy Kimmel was bliss, I don't know why she doesn't do those kinda songs more. (Wednesday 16 December 2015; 2:39)

Mariah and her legacy (58,472) by Jono from USA I don't think it's a bad thing that Mariah is doing her throwback classics, and possibly opening a museum. I'd totally attend. A museum would be amazing because casual tourists who are curious could come in, and if the exhibit is done well it could really educate them on Mariah's contributions and all that she's achieved in the music industry. Because Lord knows most of these people treat the Grammys as some holy grail and think that just because Mariah constantly gets snubbed, she must not be important. This could expose her work on her terms, as opposed to the press (who also love to slander Mariah). Maybe I just think differently for someone born in the 90s, but I hate most of pop music that's out nowadays and I don't care if Mariah stays away from trends because it would sacrifice her artistic integrity. As someone like Adele proved, if she can just be herself you can still find a market where you're appreciated it. Just because Mariah is doing a museum doesn't mean she's done for. Taylor Swift has one, and she's only 26. So I think it's just a cool interactive space to showcase Mariah and I think it could only be positive. (Wednesday 16 December 2015; 1:21)
