Baby from the land of milk and honey (55,526) by Shezz from Pk Good Lord baby seriously? It's like you're on a quest to gather enough evidence to imprison Mariah. She lips a few songs. The horror. Lets lock her up for fraud. Everybody has a right to post their thoughts and opinions but that post of yours just took the cake. (Wednesday 29 July 2015; 13:36)

Alison Carey (55,525) by Jake from New Zealand Did anyone see this? Sigh. (Wednesday 29 July 2015; 13:17)

Daydream (55,524) by EmCee82 from Belgium Is the best classic Mariah album. (Wednesday 29 July 2015; 10:12)

Official release (55,523) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I really hope Mariah is recording the Vegas shows and release the whole show on DVD or whatever. The set is so elaborate and this is the first time she is singing all her #1's at one go so it's epic. I also think that if these low quality phone videos sound so good, one can only imagine how great she must sound live and recorded in professional recordings. I think the phone videos don't really capture the entire greatness that is her voice, so I need them professional video MC. Plus I wonder what happened to the documentary.

To Mr Andrew, as I get alittle blood on my hands (55,522) by Amber C from USA Let me break it down for you. Vegas is simply a swipe of Mr. Packers credit card, it means nothing. Lol. Let me break that down again. Vegas is nothing more than damage control for all the havoc that was caused last year. It is not meant to prove anything about Mariah the singer, or artist. For heaven's sake she's performing the same flipping songs over and over. Half of the songs she probably distastes. She's wearing the same gowns over and over again. Im not going to deny that M loves the fans and lambs but she probably can't wait until each show is over so she can relax in bed with dembabies and watch a family movie or something. So whether or not Mariah sings well or performs well in Vegas she's still getting paid and is still making a lot of people happy. What more could we ask for? (Wednesday 29 July 2015; 7:08)

To Mandy Monroe on Mr Packer (55,521) by Amber C from USA When I read what you said my mouth dropped to floor. i want to insert a gag emoji so bad lol. Monroe looks like the Packer? Good heavens. Lol, but on the bright side Mariah looks comfortable and she doesn't seem to be pretending to be oh so hot like she did with Nick, if I'm to be completely honest. Also I may be getting used to him but James is kinds adorable lol. Something about his features, and warm demeanor. He also had a very pleasant voice and an engaging accent. I can see why Mariah kind of gave in to him. Also call me crazy but last year a YouTube psychic said that Mariah will finally settle for an Asian man lol. As in third time's the charm. She also said Nick will get sick, and will get a woman pregnant. The funny thing is, she kept on insisting that Iggy had Asian lineage. But you see the similarities? They're both Australian, and Iggy Is no Asian. (Wednesday 29 July 2015; 6:45)

TGIFU 7/26/15 (55,520) by 123 from USA I don't know about anyone else, but the final performance of her July leg of TGIFU was so good. I haven't heard her have that much clarity in her tone in a long time. We've been asking her to stop lipping on songs and instead sing live and just lower the key. She finally does just that and even re-arranges this song and I"m shocked that people don't appreciate it. She even sang the Rainbow interlude right before. I would love an album full of the TGIFU vocals. Holding her to the high standards of the past just perpetuates the perceived need to have to lip. If you don't feel the vocal in this, you just might be lost in the woods. (Wednesday 29 July 2015; 6:36)

Deception (55,519) by darrian liu from taiwan Tbh, Dreamlover is one of her easier songs to sing. The hardest part was only the last chorus. It doesn't make sense if she lips Dreamlover because she can't do it. She can just lip the "take me up oh" and "won't you please please". She's lipping Dreamlover so that she can sing Hero, and she lips Honey to slaughter My All. It makes sense that way. Since her voice is improving really fast, I hope she can sing all of her #1 hits soon. Andrew, maybe you don't feel anything about TGIFY, but talking from a technical standpoint, it was incredible. Optimal resonance in her belts (all the way to Eb5), supported, solid low notes, and good precision and note separation of the runs. It was super good. (Wednesday 29 July 2015; 3:49)

A star for the star (55,518) by QueenLambassador from Portugal Yay Mariah Carey is getting her star and I couldn't be happier. But don't come with the story she couldn't find the time to receive it back in 06 (or 07 I'm not sure ) because that is lame. I knew she declined it back in the 90's for a good, and I must say, humble reason but the story she has to be present and so on and she couldn't find the time to make it to the cerimony? Hummm I'm not convinced but she is getting it now and I couldn't be more enthusiastic about it because unlike many artists that came after her and already have one, Mariah's star has a story, a true legacy behind it and we can count only a few artists with such background on the Walk Of Fame. So forget Britney - the youngest receipient - because she will never be MC. (Wednesday 29 July 2015; 3:05)

Same blah blah blah (55,517) by QueenLambassador from Portugal It's always fun to come to this board and read posts. I don't know if I cry or I laugh or I ignore. But it seems I always pay attention to them, even when they make me cringe. Mariah lipped this, she lipped that, she can't sing this part because of blah blah blah. Is it all you people think about? Is that why you people press play on the videos? I mean, lighten up a bit will you? I don't live in ignorance's bliss but I don't live obssessed with perfection either. Mariah lips - fact. But is she a worse person for it? No so why bother? If you feel like you're cheated or disapointed, close the door, lose the key and leave Mariah alone. I guess some of us are just running out of patience for the same old drama. (Wednesday 29 July 2015; 2:58)

Seriously, guys? (55,516) by LC from USA Right when things are finally going up for Mariah is when the "fans" find another thing to bitch about. I could sit here and talk about each and every part of every song on every performance Mariah has done where she has lip synced. I'm sure many of us can. But this debate is so old and stupid. Why do we perpetuate the arguments and speculation? It's not going to change anything. No matter how "offended" you might be from the "deception". Stay butt hurt because it's not gonna change. Mariah lips. So does almost every singer in the industry. So what? She sings her ass off when she does sing live. We're gonna call the TGIFY performances "ok"? Seriously? Night after night she has hit multiple D5s, Eb5s and E5s and phrased with them and sustained them in ways she hasn't since 1901. She has been giving us 100%. Can't we give her props? Can't we say "Great job, Mariah." Can't we say "You did amazingly." Can't we for God's sake just be happy with our favorite singer? She just made it through arguably her toughest year and is coming out on top. We should be celebrating, not being dumb about something that's been going on for so long that it's nearly negligible. Let's be real. Mariah is slaying. No matter what you say. And I, for one, will support her instead of pulling her and the fan base down yet again. This is the return of Mariah Carey. You fans and haters can either recognize it or not, doesn't matter. Mariah always comes out on top. (Wednesday 29 July 2015; 2:27)

Andrew (55,515) by Giovanni from USA It doesn't matter which one you pick. Just sit down. (Wednesday 29 July 2015; 1:24)

Vegas boxscore released / shows (55,514) by Travon..SweetSweetFantasy from USA It's official. Mariah Carey had a successful July Month in Vegas. Her shows grossed $5,300,365 and had 6 sellouts out of 9. She sold 34,499/35,846 tickets in July and is ranked 5th on Billboard. I wish they had seperated Saturday and Sunday shows because it statistically would have helped her total ticket sales. It's still great numbers and these stats show Mariah Carey's global power. Here is the Boxscore link. (Tuesday 28 July 2015; 22:16)

Vegas (55,513) by B from USA Mariah lips parts of the uptempos to save her voice for the ballads. It makes sense to me. She's singing 18 songs a night and those songs aint easy to sing, honey. Just saying. (Tuesday 28 July 2015; 21:51)

These mermaids ain't Ariel (55,512) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End I'm shocked and chagrined to find out The Elusive Chanteuse is in fact guilty of mimimg Dreamlover ad nauseum to this very day. It's especially blatant at 0:17 because even I am not a dummy beyond logic's reach. I'm surprised no one else thought to post this to aid in their case. I mean, it's so water tight no one can deny its validity: And here again during Honey at 02:25 the deception continued. It's obvious she uses comedy as a distraction, slight of hand cheap tricks. Mocking us loyal lambs just for laughs on how far we will stretch our integrity to defend her lies. I honestly can't believe the audacity with which she goes about it. It's almost arrogant. I'm disappointed you guys. I mean, I might have been born yesterday but I for sure wasn't born under water. Like Dubyah said: You fooled me once, I can't get fooled again. *le sigh* I guess we still have the doughnut licker as a new standard, right? Anyway, than you for your posts: Dreamlover lip sync (55,505) by Stella Lewis from USA and Lip synch (55,507) by Ian Donaldson from United Kingdom, without you I might still be swimming in a sea of ignorant bliss. God bless. (Tuesday 28 July 2015; 21:02)

All these seats, now, which one to pick? (55,511) by Andrew from UK The Honey performance is awful. Attack me all you like, it sucks, and is not worthy of a professional. And that really can't be argued against. TGIFY is okay, but not really hair-raising stuff. Attack me all you like, it doesn't make it not true. Mariah looked like a high-school girl with stage-fright. Are there any killer performances where she's owning the stage and singing her ass off? (Tuesday 28 July 2015; 20:38)

Blue and Mariah (55,510) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So back in the day, I was a huge fan of the UK band "Blue". I loved all their songs and I loved that they co-wrote their songs. Had a major crush on Duncan. So it surprised me when I saw this article from 2013 which says that Duncan and Mariah went on one date. Apparently they went on an informal date once and then ran into each other a couple of times. I always wanted a Blue and Mariah duet. Just to see how it would go. Lee and Mariah hitting the high notes, Duncan with his sexy voice, Antony's buttery tone and Simon's hunky voice. In the interview Simon also mentions that they'd love a duet with Mariah. I didn't love their last two albums since their re-union and I guess commercially a duet between them won't really do much but I'd still love to hear them collaborate since well my other collaboration dream (MJ and MC) is now impossible.

Trolling for free #1 To Infinity seat a.k.a. A's MO (55,495) by Tevin from USA (55,509) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End TBH, I think you might have to splurge on more than one chair to accommodate such a giant ass Tevin. Let's start a gofundme. A is actually a great barometer for what's right. Just translate whatever he posts into the opposite and he makes all the sense in the world. In that way he is an asset on MCA and clearly he is desperate to be proven wrong. Hense the shameless trolling for tickets to a Mariah concert. Someone should tell him he could play partially deaf (very successfully might I add) and trick Team Mariah into giving him front row tickets to the Israeli show where he can personally mishear all the notes M sings live instead of through a subpar second medium. He honestly deserves to be disappointed in person. Maybe then he will finally stop trying so hard to like her voice. I wish he knew he doesn't have to live in the agony of Mariah's constant vocal dysphonics. Perhaps once he has escaped the rest of us might have a chance to whom freedom too. Oh, the humanity of it all. Could A be all our hero? No. I daren't speak it out loud. But I can dream. We. Can. Dream. (Tuesday 28 July 2015; 19:55)

James Packer (55,508) by JAXGH from United States Mimi and James probably had that "I also was married to the wrong person" moment and immediately hit it off. Since they are both divorced. Twice. Coincidence? Haha. I think James is still on the pursuing part. It's good to see Mariah getting pampered. James is probably head over heels Mariah. When I think about it, I mean, they both have been rich all their lives. Both very successful. Both live lavishing extravagant lifestyles. Both very private. Both aging. Both been married twice and failed. Both have kids. Who knows guys? He could be the one. Let's hope for the best. After all he might just be God's answer for Mariah's prayers. Also he looks a little bit like Monroe. Am I the only one who see the resemblance? (Tuesday 28 July 2015; 17:31)

Lip synch (55,507) by Ian from United Kingdom As much as we all love Mariah, we have to face facts. She has been lip-synching for many many years. Some parts are just too complicated to pull off live, her voice and range have changed. It is what it is and wether she lip-synchs or not it's still great to see her perform. The world would be a much sadder place if she stopped performing because her voice can't match the studio recordings. (Tuesday 28 July 2015; 17:14)

Re: Dreamlover lip sync (55,505) by Stella Lewis from USA (55,506) by MimiLamb from Germany I don't think it's because she can or can't sing that song live. There will always be parts or sometimes whole songs that are lipsynced (a lot of artists do this during a tour). I believe it's to give the voice a tiny break. Making sure they can sing the more harder songs. Don't know if that is the case but that makes the most sense. (Tuesday 28 July 2015; 15:01)

Dreamlover lip sync (55,505) by Stella Lewis from USA Okay. Don't get me wrong, she's been sounding great in LTT, IDWC, Vision Of Love, etc. But I feel as if Mariah is lip singing Dreamlover. What do you think? Is she? If her voice has been improving why does she still feel the need to lip sync this song? (Tuesday 28 July 2015; 14:28)

Ledisi (55,504) by Licia from USA Ledisi posted a video of Mariah singing Hero from the last show. It's nice to see other singers supporting her (especially females). If you don't know who Ledisi is look her up. She's a fabulous singer. I guess the industry describes her sound as Neo-Soul. I just think her voice is phenomenal. Her rendition of Mahalia Jackson's Precious Lord is soul stirring. (Tuesday 28 July 2015; 14:08)

Star on Hollywood Walk of Fame (55,503) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Well, I'd say something like "Finally", or "About freakin' time", if it weren't only at the very least 15 years overdue. It's nice that she's getting one now, though it's not like she really ever needed one to solidify her stature and legacy in the first place. But then again, I guess this means there's justice in the world after all. (Tuesday 28 July 2015; 12:39)

The gorgeousness that is Mariah (55,502) by Billy from Greece One of the best if not the best look of Mariah. (Tuesday 28 July 2015; 12:31)
