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.

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.

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: Beacon show was... (58,365) (58,366) by enwar00 from usa Thank you Deedre. You know I always enjoy reading your posts. I feel we think similarly on many things. Merry Christmas II You as well. (Saturday 12 December 2015; 16:54)

Re: Beacon show was... (58,358) (58,365) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada I am so happy for you and I am glad the experience was so meaningful. Thank you for sharing with us. Merry Christmas. (Saturday 12 December 2015; 16:33)

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)

Silly criminal (58,363) by Ben from Sweden This is no joke. Mariah broke into a fan's computer during her mega-sucess of The Emancipation of Mimi, and stole audio-clips of his singing and featured it on a remix of "Say Somethin'" (So So Def Remix). Here's the proof. The fan sings, and calls himself "Melovi". His nickname on the was "Lafa". (Saturday 12 December 2015; 13:44)

Very enjoyable vocals (58,362) by Familitchi from France Thought I'd share this because I really like this. (Saturday 12 December 2015; 11:55)

The case of the shrinking waist line (58,361) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Umm how did this happen? Look at that killer waist line. Mariah has been looking all sorts of gorgeous lately (not that she is ever ugly but you get what I mean). She is coming to snatch everyone's wigs (or real hair, which is rare in Hollywood, but whatever). Her fashion is on point, her makeup (which in the middle kind of was a little off) is now flawless and fierce, her hair is like sunshine (love the big waves, compared to the worn out mermaid curls). I have to know who is dressing her nowadays. They are getting all the clothes right. They fit her like a glove and bring out the best off her body. I love the dress she is wearing in this photo. She has lost so much weight and is fast approaching her E=MC2 era look (yes I think she is at her 2013 level now). And y'all actually thought that she gave up on her looks (maybe even I thought that we won't get the 2013/ 2008 look again). But damn did she shut everyone up. The queen is back everyone. Now all we need is a huge musical comeback, and if anyone knows how to make a comeback, it is the Mariah-freaking-legendary-Carey. *ends fan girl moment* (Saturday 12 December 2015; 11:21)

Re: Photo (58,356) (58,360) by Jenny from South Africa Wait wait is this picture legit? I live in South Africa and I haven't heard she's coming here. If it's true I'm going to die of happiness right now. (Saturday 12 December 2015; 8:53)

Re: It's a Mariah Carey show for sure (58,349) (58,359) by enwar00 from usa May I love this post of yours and agree with everything you said. Looking forward to what lies ahead as it definitely feels like positive energy and momentum is building. (Saturday 12 December 2015; 7:25)

Beacon show was... (58,358) by enwar00 from usa Amazing, festive and uplifting. Lambily I don't think the YouTube clips do it justice honestly. This woman leaves me in awe live and I am thankful she continues to share her magic with us. I wasn't expecting to be transported back to 1996, because who on Earth stays the same really, but whatever vocal issues were going on last year seemed like a thing of the past tonight. I had chills for half the show and if I had to pick one highlight it'd be O Holy Night, and We Belong Together of the non-holiday songs. I'm fortunate enough to have seen Mariah on all her tours she's brought to Chicago, but it really was a treat to hear the Christmas songs in concert. She truly seems to have become a part of the holiday season. The Beacon Theater itself is beautiful and intimate. The experience makes me even appreciate the alleged trolls of the board, for deep down inside despite the cynicism they love Mariah too and hold on dearly to the memories she's provided them. (Saturday 12 December 2015; 7:21)

Re: Acting brand new (58,331) (58,357) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Not once did you compliment Mariah's many amazing performances at the inaugural Beacon shows last year. Not once. But now all of a sudden "we are Lambily". You're such a hypocrite when exactly a year ago you (on December 4th, following Rockefeller) were writing many several consecutive posts like this one: "I'm with you G. G. I'm sick of these excuses. If shaky performances were extremely rare for Mariah I would look for an outside circumstance to blame as well, but this is nothing new. There have been numerous performances that I've cringed at even when she was indoors, was in perfect health (no colds), etc. Her voice has changed. Period. I will always be a lamb, watch her interviews and performances but let's just face reality. I know that a lot of people are trying to hype up the performance because they know that when MC gives a bad performance it makes us look bad, but come on now. " At least Andrew is consistent with his posts. You were wrong for counting out Mariah like she was an old clock winding down. I told you you were wrong and you intimated that I was being condescending and elitist. I was being neither. I was just loyal and smart enough to know you never ever discount Mariah. Especially on such weak grounds, and dem grounds are always weak BTW. If Mariah responded positively to negativity then my point would be moot. But she doesn't, so why then is being loyal, consistently in Mariah's corner, rooting for her and defending her from ubiquitous attackers with sketchy motives discouraged? It's the easiest job in the world when you actually like both her music and persona. You couldn't pay me to stop even if you donated millions to my favourite charity. Last year, as you well know (because I made sure you knew) Mariah was suffering from a cold while in icy wet weather two days in a row in the midst of probable divorce drama and the painful recovery of her body from multiple debilitating injuries. You and your friends had absolutely no compassion for her at all then. Some of you don't even pretend you do now. For some reason she deserved no mercy from a so called "supporter" when so many in the GP literally everywhere with a broadband connection, WiFi and smoke signals. were having a slice of her extremely overblown minor vocal issues with the purest glee that anybody with a heart and good sense would know better than to try and use against her at her most vulnerable. Let alone a supposed "fan". There is something to be said about loyalty. That's how come you constantly end up sharing yourself while trying to unsuccessfully distance yourself from your old posts. Next thing you know, you'll be saying how you think Vegas was always such a great idea. Same script, different day. (Saturday 12 December 2015; 7:04)

Re: Photo (58,352) (58,356) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter She is touring South Africa and quite possibly Europe. (Saturday 12 December 2015; 2:19)
