MC, and Adele (57,707) by David F from Mexico I love how Mariah went from princess living in a castle to this free ''butterfly album'' the feeling was so real, also when Fantasy went very popular and when went to number 1 oh gosh, she gave us sexy when Rainbow was out. I miss those moments why she did little promo with the chanteuse album she waisted so bad "You don't know what to do". I think that album should have been a video concept album. When I look at Adele I kind of laugh because they dress her like a grown woman with those big dresses, that's why she has appeal to the older people, any way the world is weird these days.

Mariah lip in ABMB bridge (57,706) by Joaquín from Chile I remember that I listened to Mariah in 2013, at the GMA Mariah was singing ABMB completely live. But the bridge were very raspy. Now in the years 2014 and 2015 Mariah lipsing in ABMB using the bridge of GMA. But in Vegas Mariah perfectly can do this bridge withouth the raspy voice, but why doesn't she do that?

Re: Oh the insanity (57,693) (57,705) by Tevin from USA A good performance in the last ten years. You must not have heard her sing TGIFY during her last three Vegas shows, there was mid and high belts, ease in her voice, thick tone and no straining or roughness in her voice. Here is a seat I pulled out for you, now please sit. (Monday 9 November 2015; 1:55)

Re: Oh the insanity (57,695) (57,704) by Tevin from USA I bet even Mariah's dreams are lipsynced. Please Andrew give it a rest. Thank you. (Monday 9 November 2015; 1:42)

Re: "Anytime You Need a Friend" (57,696) (57,702) by Giovanni from USA You know it's funny. I've been wanting to listen to "AYNAF". It's such a great song. Songs like this along with "One sweet day" and "Fly like a bird" are the reason why I love Mariah. And why she's the best period. *wishes for an epic album soon* Mariah please release an album soon. "Me I am Mariah" is great and I still play it, but it left me wanting more. (Sunday 8 November 2015; 23:48)

Re: Christmas Melody - first look (57,698) (57,701) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter One possible reason for this can be her role. She plays a bitchy high class mom. So we can assume she'd be decked in expensive things. (Sunday 8 November 2015; 23:42)

Re: Oh the insanity (57,694) (57,700) by darrian liu from taiwan Bill preach your message. Preach. (Sunday 8 November 2015; 23:30)

Re: Lip syncing issue (57,692) (57,699) by darrian liu from taiwan She can actually use her voice without nodules. In fact, she would've sounded much more crystalline than her absolute peak in 1996. Whistles? She could relearn techniques on whistling. Low notes? Removing nodules will help her reach lower notes as nodules only add airiness to her voice. If she removes them, the low notes would be really solid and luscious you'll think she's a full-blown contralto. Don't get me started on her belts. Idk about her tone but I think removing nodules will help her lots. It's quite risky, but today's technology ain't bad enough to turn her case into one like Julie Andrews.

Christmas Melody - first look (57,698) by Anonymous from Hey guys, didn't you notice in the picture that Mariah appears to be wearing rings that resemble an engagement ring and a wedding band? (Sunday 8 November 2015; 20:39)

It's cool to share opinions and everything (57,697) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Many talk about how "rational debate" isn't possible here, but Eric lets posts stand as they are for the most part. Things get censored at times based on his rules of respect for his website messageboard. I don't come here to "debate" Mariah. I'm not interested in debating her. Some are. That's not what I'm here for. She's not a piece of property, or a law being passed in parliament. She's a human being who has feelings and flaws just like everyone else. I come here because I'm a fan, not a professional critic, and I appreciate having a place to come and enjoy Mariah among others who appreciate her work. The only time there is discord here is when people feel their opinion is being attacked, or their being told their viewpoints are "wrong" or invalid. People either get labelled overly negative or overly positive/delusional. The insults and name-calling ensue. It's exhausting, and it won't stop until we as a community decide to just stop without trying to change how things are perceived. (Sunday 8 November 2015; 19:52)

"Anytime You Need a Friend" (57,696) by Ardis Logic from Earth "Just remember to keep the faith, and love will be there to light the way." I love this song so much. (Sunday 8 November 2015; 18:54)

Re: Oh the insanity (57,693) (57,695) by Terna from Nigeria You know you're so right. She built a whole career from lip synching, even the recordings are all lipped, right from Vision Of Love, down to Infinity every single one of her songs. And also the live performances, everytime she stepped on stage, she was lip synching I'm sure of it. Heck even her talking voice is lip synced. Smh. (Sunday 8 November 2015; 16:40)

Re: Oh the insanity (57,693) (57,694) by Bill from the UK Andrew, it's not that reality isn't welcome here. Nobody here is expecting Vegas to be another Daydream tour. But this is a fan site. Most people come here to talk about MC in a positive manner because we love her and her music. You bring everything down, and have now just become a caricature of yourself. I know what your messages will say before I even read them. So Mariah lip syncs. So does Celine Dion. Get over it. (Sunday 8 November 2015; 12:20)

Re: Oh the insanity (57,683) (57,693) by Andrew from UK Lipped. Don't be soft. All lambs and fans alike know that it is. I won't relent on saying that the "it's live" rubbish is rubbish. I life Mariah Carey songs. But since Eequals it is apparent that nothing is real. She even lips in a duet. The whole world is labelling "lip-riah" usw. Is this really a place where reality is not welcome? I love Mariah Carey music. But I have to accept that a lot of it my be false. The WBT thing knocked out of the park, someone direct me to "it's a shame" from Heartbreaker live. Infect someone direct me to a vocal performance in the past ten years to be proud of. Bulimia isn't within me. But let's be honest here. Why is the world how crying foul at the once greatest pop vocalists of their generation? Must be out to get her. This isn't hating. You just cannot let bizarre comments pass. You're feeding the strange Mariah we have now. Shame. (Sunday 8 November 2015; 5:22)

Lip syncing issue (57,692) by JAXGH from United States Mariah's songs have always been ridiculously hard to sing, this is the reason why she never toured in the beginning of her career. Her repertoire have always been in its own league vocally. When you are an audio engineer, a producer and have the greatest voice in the world, magic happens. She even said it herself in the 1995 "Stupid me making it so hard" interview as to why she had such long breaks in between each shows, it's because her songs are vocally demanding. Lets see you sing Vision Of Love, Emotions, Fantasy and Forever all in one night. Every single song is a vocal suicide. By 98, you'll hear her say to Stern "something's wrong with my throat but please don't be lewd" it's taken its toll. Damage have taken over. Not getting into each aspect as to why. Her nodules have made her sound beautiful but it's also damaged her chords. Mariah is in a lose-lose situation: she can't use her gift without the nodules, but she'll damage her gift with them. So she really has no choice but lip sync. Or she'll lose it all if she over uses it. You guys don't think Mariah knows her limit? The ridiculous part is, as each album goes by, the songs get harder. Example: Fly Like A Bird, Through The Rain. So it's even more demanding now. Just be happy she is stilling making albums and preserving her voice for recording sessions. I don't mind if she lip syncs, her voice is already damaged and she can't remove the nodules or she'll lose her voice. Her voice is very limited now, just accept it. Okay?

Re: Article: Mariah Carey and billionaire boyfriend cooling off (57,689) (57,691) by 90sMariah from SG Michael K's pseudonym for James Packer is Australian Shrek. Lol. It makes me laugh every time. (Sunday 8 November 2015; 2:22)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey's greatest hits on loop at Crown Perth (57,688) (57,690) by Lee TS from USA Lol I know right? The people in the hotel are being given the gift of music 24/7, having their souls cleansed and blessed every minute of the day. (Saturday 7 November 2015; 22:02)

Article: Mariah Carey and billionaire boyfriend cooling off (57,689) by Ignacio Pineda from United States I don't find him attractive at all, but as long as Mimi's happy that's all that matters to me. One thing I love about Mariah, she's a total diva so no man will tell her what to do. But, I do want her to end up with someone filthy rich so he can treat her like the queen she is. Diamond butterfly rings are my girl's best friend. (Saturday 7 November 2015; 19:23)

Article: Mariah Carey's greatest hits on loop at Crown Perth (57,688) by Ignacio Pineda from United States I would love to stay in a hotel and listen to Mariah Carey all day. Sounds like serenity to me. (Saturday 7 November 2015; 19:17)

Oh the insanity (57,687) by Randy from USA I've held my tongue for awhile on this Adele topic, but now I will speak. I agree that MC has been lip syncing the high full voice belts since that fateful day on Oprah in 1997. After Charmbracelet, when she knew we had widened up to it, she started recording a scratchy track to match the tone of the current state of her voice but when she starts flailing those arms, turning her head she ain't a bit more singing than the man on the moon. Now what I will say is whatever she does in the studio is more difficult than what Adele does, however Adele can replicate her magic live and MC refuses to. I agree with Andrew she needs to sing in her current range. Why can't she sing songs in the same register as Right To Dream, Help Me Make It Through The Night and Languishing. I doubt she can't sing those live. In addition, you guys wanna talk Macau, Vegas and Jimmy Fallon impromptu where her voice is great. But why she can't do the same for American television is beyond me. She always chokes at awards shows or again, lip syncs. Now about Adele, I love Hello but to be honest it is not anywhere near a quality a song or vocal as MC's best, Vision Of Love, Vanishing, Looking In, Outside, Close My Eyes, Butterfly, My All, Petals, Through The Rain, Reflections (Care Enough), Twister, Never Too Far, Through The Rain, Right To Dream and Languishing. None of Adele's songs match any of them. In fact, those songs in my opinion make MC the greatest singer-songwriter of all time. Some of those songs are better than anything the revered female singer-songwriters: Alicia Keys, Joni Mitchell, Lauryn Hill, Sarah McLachlan, Jewel, Carole King, Diane Warren have ever done. Which is why I'm still invested despite the smoke and mirrors surrounding her live performances. Adele is great but please don't think MC can't sit with paper and pen with Big Jim Wright at the keys and not come up with an emotional, timeless masterpiece better than Adele's entire catalogue, in less than thirty minutes. MC still has that capability, she just chooses not to use it because she hates "always" doing ballads. (Saturday 7 November 2015; 18:37)

Nickelodeon (57,686) by enwar00 from usa That was hilarious. I'm not fully awake so it took me a couple seconds. I remember Thirsty too. (Saturday 7 November 2015; 16:13)

Article: Mariah Carey and billionaire boyfriend cooling off (57,685) by Lee TS from USA If it was such a disaster in China he wouldn't feel the need to fly back with her just to make a cameo at the Halloween bash. But I do agree that they should keep business separate unless he can get her a major role in a major film. I like that he's camera shy and comes off as very unassuming, not stunting or flaunting his billionaire lifestyle. I hope they at least make it until Christmas so he can spoil Mariah rotten haha. Forget Aspen, give her the whole North Pole. I wonder if Mariah has met his kids yet, it'll be cute if all the little ones can get together for Thanksgiving. (Saturday 7 November 2015; 9:48)

Re: Oh the insanity (57,673) (57,684) by Norman from USA Andrew, I'm all for you sharing your opinions, even if I strongly disagree with them. That said, this bulimic fangirling thing you've got going where you love her to death one sec, and then can't stand the sight of her the next is just too much. All in moderation. You've raised some good points, but it's difficult to take them seriously when the rest of your post comes off like a tantrum. Just saying. (Saturday 7 November 2015; 9:17)

Re: Oh the insanity (57,673) (57,683) by Lighty from China Hey Andrew from UK, You may wanna go and check out WBT live on BET Blueprint, whole thing live. (Saturday 7 November 2015; 5:45)

Article: Mariah Carey and billionaire boyfriend cooling off (57,682) by Xavier Peoples from United States Wow, I wonder if this is really true? I am anxious to find out what happens between these two. (Saturday 7 November 2015; 5:35)
