Better (47,501) by Orkun from The Netherlands The Emotions video posted on here sounds much much better. Mainly live and stronger voice, better pitch. The whistles are lipped. The rest is live. I dont like the "hey, hey"s she does so often much but that's me. Now I understand that she has not been on vocal rest but that she just hasn't sung for a long time. Now she is training her voice again. So she should keep singing. From what I hear, seems like she got like 5 notes back which she struggled with before and seems more confident. Now we are finally getting somewhere, step by step, back to the top, where she obviously belongs. Less gimmicks, more natural talent. (Sunday 19 October 2014; 19:31)

Baby from Sweden (47,500) by LC from USA Thank you so much for posting that. I just finished watching and it was beautiful. Even if this wasn't her best, it just shows that what the media made viral was uncalled for and unfair. This nearly two hours in China was a great concert. It was just amazing to see and hear the fans and their love for Mariah, especially the woman taking the video. She was screaming everytime Mariah made a high note or came back on stage and it was just incredible to feel that love. It's beautfiul to see how, at the end of the day, no matter what the press says or no matter what we fans argue about, Mariah is a legend who has touched the lives of millions in a way that no one else has. It must be incredible for her to know that people who don't even speak her language all over the world know her songs and her lyrics and her artistry. This is why we should love Mariah Carey. She is music. (Sunday 19 October 2014; 18:25)

The Elusive Chanteuse Show in Chengdu, China (47,499) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End I'm watching this right now. So excited. (Sunday 19 October 2014; 11:56)

MC full Monaco concert (unofficial) (47,498) by ktktkt from Philippines She sounded superb here IMO. kinda sounds 96-ish on some belts, but I don't get why it's not officially recorded. (Sunday 19 October 2014; 9:58)

Mandy Monroe, more lambs (47,497) by ktktkt from Philippines You won't believe it, it's not only Kyla but almost all female singers (and some males) in the Philippines are Mariah-influenced. Lol, watch these two girls. 10:15 - favorite international singer Mariah 10:35 - she follows MC in tweeter but too shy to tweet her 10:40 - particular song that they are 'scared' to sing 15:12 - two girls saying that Mariah's "Emotions" is the most difficult song for them because of the high belting and whistles 15:44 - Jonalyn sings Emotions (chorus) no whistle though 19:58 - Jonalyn sings Through the rain 27:46 - Katrina sings never too far while jumping rope 28:44 - Jonalyn singing never too far while on a hoola hoop katrina can exactly copy Beyonce's runs but she can hardly copy Mariah's. Lol. Mariah's voice totally unique and cannot be duplicated. (Sunday 19 October 2014; 8:09)

Dresses / performances (47,495) by Abraham from USA So now Mariah is being criticized for what she is wearing at her shows. Lol, who cares. Let her wear whatever she wants to wear. She can be casual. I happen to like some of dresses she's worn. Especially the blue one. She looked like a goddess. Aside from that, I have to say that her live singing seems to be improving. The "Without you" performance was very good. Hope she keeps it up. (Sunday 19 October 2014; 7:30)

Funny how (47,494) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Funny how the media chooses to feed on negativity that it preoccupies them too much to also report the good. Funny how a lot of the critics are most probably not singers themselves which makes them incapable of realizing and relating to how it feels to have an "off" day as a singer. Funny how a lot of people are quick to compare Mariah's vocal state to how "better" those of Celine's, Barbra's, Aretha's currently are, as if personal differences was a myth and there was a "one-size-fits-all" approach to taking care for and using one's voice. Funny how a lot of fans are too quick to write Mariah off just because of a flop album and inconsistent recent performances when they know damn well they're the reason an interlude called Languishing was written. Funny how staying positive or even neutral in this board has lately become synonymous with "delusional", and how conversely, being critically constructive is derided as being hateful. Funny how even with all this crap I've just mentioned, we all still come around here once in a while to celebrate this remarkable woman, even if it means having to tolerate each other. Love, love, love. (Sunday 19 October 2014; 6:21)

Lee / Emotions (47,493) by Randy from USA Much better. I am pleased. I can't say she sounds amazing. It's marginal for someone who is considered 'the best vocalist in the world' by many. But I'm glad to see whatever was going on the first night is not permanent. (Sunday 19 October 2014; 1:17)

I love how Mariah is (47,492) by JAXGH from United States Remember Mariah missed out a lot on her late teens and all through out her 20s - her prime. Working since high school and getting married right away. Mariah never really got that "freedom" being a 21 year old, meeting people, finding real love, partying and having the typical life. She was working day and night. "Pretty much having no life" in her own words. She really didn't get to fully enjoy her prime as she was greatly oppressed and abused. The free-spirited, adventurous, sexy, bubbly, "do what I ever I want" Mariah was stifled, imprisoned and controlled by the Partriarch, Tommy Mottola. Deep inside she's still that little girl, Nothing changed. Scarred and insecure, forever longing for the life she missed out on. This is why Mariah's spirit will forever be truly young. So don't get confused when she says she's eternally 12, because she really is. She's still that teenager when she first came out writing about her first kiss and her first love, first heartbreak, which she still does until today. I love it. I love how the inner child truly stayed with her because wouldn't have songs like ABMYB, Underneath the Stars, Dedication, Slipping Away, Candy Bling, Last Kiss, Love Takes Time, countless. Everything really does for a reason, she's just really meant to bring back the nostalgia darling. Forever young and beautitul Mariah Carey. (Sunday 19 October 2014; 0:46)

Chengdu (47,491) by Dennis from Underneath the Stars She looks pretty and thinner than before (even better than in the video on the screen behind her). (Sunday 19 October 2014; 0:23)

Lee & ktktktkt - lamb singers (47,490) by JAXGH from United States Lee. Oh my goodness, that was honestly so beautiful. Thank you for sharing. I love it so much. I looked him up and realized he's also in X-Factor, beautiful. His audition video made me cry. He's so talented. Ktktktkt. That was stellar. I love her so much. She should really sing with MC. I noticed she has no accent. I watched her Forever and Butterfly tribute and she honestly does it so good. It's stupid. And she did the ridiculously hard run (fly) at the climax of Butterfly where Mariah's back up singers take over and finish the run, but this girl did it all by herself. It's so ridiculous, I thought no one else in this world would be able to sing that part but this girl just poops at that part lmao. So amazing. If she was on American Idol Season 12, I think Mariah would cry every night. (Sunday 19 October 2014; 0:20)

Nothing to worry about (47,489) by Dennis from Underneath the Stars I've watched the Chengdu show and I have not seen anything catastrophic. Arrangements are different from other tours. Most of the songs are definitely live. (Sunday 19 October 2014; 0:19)

Just a thought (47,488) by Dennis from Underneath the Stars It looks really creepy when the dancers wheel out MC lying on that stage/bed during the shows. . (Sunday 19 October 2014; 0:14)

Mandy Monroe - Kyla (miss you most at Christimas) (47,486) by ktktkt from Philippines Yes, she's a certified lamb, she's an rnb singer from my country (Philippines). When MC had her Charmbracelet tour in Manila (2003), she was in the audience jumping like a little child. Lol. Just sharing, I should've added it in my previous post. She really loves MC. I bet she's all over YouTube watching MC's take on her live Joy to the world at her prime. (Saturday 18 October 2014; 20:42)

Mandy Monroe (47,485) by Lee from UK That was a lovely performance of Miss You Most. Have you seen this version? This guy was on the Australian X Factor. (Saturday 18 October 2014; 18:26)

Emotions performance (47,484) by Jenny from South Africa Wow MC sounds incredible here. And yes I definitely think the whole song was live. She really sounded so good. You can see the band and backing singers were loving her performance too. I hope everyone on this board who's been saying she can't sing anymore watches that video and their faith gets restored. I love you Mariah. (Saturday 18 October 2014; 17:49)

Mariah's voice (47,483) by Dan from US She might of had a cold, she could of been crying all the time because of all the personal things in her life. Imagine crying and being upset and then knowing you have to go out and perform. I doubt that's good for anyone's voice. She's human and she can still sing. Her voice is not gone. I tend to think a lot of people forget she's just like one of us. (Saturday 18 October 2014; 17:33)

Tianjin performances (47,482) by LC from USA Seeing videos from this concert I was speechless. I really think that Mariah saw the criticism and learned from it. Or she really was just sick on the first few dates because her voice is in good condition again. That "Emotions" performance had incredible fifth octave mid belts and easily rivals or trumps her performances of that song in Australia last year. Also, her runs were incredible in that performance. She did some runs that she's never done before. She was confident and went for almost all of the higher belts that she dodged (almost embarrassingly) in the past dates. Then, her whisper voice, which was basically gone in the first few dates is fully back, as can be heard in her performances of ABMB and My All. Also, that buttery and beautiful tone and fluidity she has is already back, which you can see in Hero and WBT. Basically, those of you who said her voice was completely gone, think again, because Mariah is back. (Saturday 18 October 2014; 15:41)

Mariah (47,481) by B from USA Mariah is beautiful. Mary Wells and Mariah don't look that much alike. I sees some resemblance but not much. I think it's the eyes. (Saturday 18 October 2014; 14:57)

Dresses (47,480) by G.G. from USA I can't believe the dresses Mariah is wearing on this tour. They are hideous. Mariah is worth half a billion dollars and is friends with several high profile designers. The black dress with the high slit looks like someone took a bolt of material, tied some of it around her body and said, "There you go." Mariah can and should do better with her fashion. (Saturday 18 October 2014; 14:19)

The best Emotions so far (47,479) by Lee TS from USA I think she sounds incredible here. (Saturday 18 October 2014; 11:07)

Incredibly amazing lamb (47,478) by JAXGH from United States Hey you guys. I know it's very hard to see anyone do justice to an MC song. But I've discovered this girl, she is a die-hard lamb, so please come check her out. She reminds me of Mariah a lot. MC never did this song live so this is the closest we can get. She emulates Mariah's vocals but she does it so flawlessly and with her own signature voice/tone. It's just amazing to see how talented lambs can be and how much MC actually influence other vocal talents. Mariah would smile if she sees her sing. I really don't want to do any type of advertisement but I really need to share how amazing this girl is. Please tell me what you think of this lamb, she is one of us. (Saturday 18 October 2014; 3:22)

Irrelevant but... (47,477) by Billy from Greece I guess some of you are aware of who Mary Wells is. I was checking her really good "In and Out of Love" album from the early 1980s, and had forgotten that in the back cover of the albums there is quite a resemblance with MC. Check it out. (Friday 17 October 2014; 23:39)

[...] (47,476) by JAXGH from United States Whatever harsh things people have to say, it really would not trump over Mariah. "Do good to those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you, Psalms 129:2. They have greatly oppressed me from my youth, But they have not gained victory over me." Nothing will bring her down, for she has the Lord God almighty. I am just sharing these moving lyrics from "I Wish You Well". I listen to it when I'm dealing with difficult people. You know Mariah has leveled up from every album. Not even joking. E=MC2 has so much gems totally gone foiled and wasted. "Migrate", "Cruise Control", "Loving You Long Time", "I Stay In Love", "Last Kiss", "Love Story", "For The Record", "Cruise Control". I'm literally perturbed when people say she's not upping her game when the truth is she's getting better than ever. Countless gems on MIAM. Disregard the sales, Mariah smashed on every single album. She's so amazing. I am praying for her. We love you MC. (Friday 17 October 2014; 21:09)
