Mariah, please be ready (103,992) by Brandon from USA It irritates me when she just wings it because it's so evident. Some people who are natural and confident performers (Celine, Whitney, Fantasia, etc.) could get away with it but performing in front of people is just not where MC is strong. She has even referred to herself as a studio artist in interviews. However, with constant practice and working with seasoned professionals, she could get there. I've never understood why she hasn't called Frank Gatson who has helped Beyoncé become the performer that she is today. For some reason, it comes off that she is only concerned with the glam aspect but doesn't really care about actually performing and giving people an experience at her shows. It feels lazy. I feel like she thinks "I'll just stand here, sing (lip sync) these songs right quick, collect my check and go lay back down and be pampered." If she won't practice and rehearse, she could at least properly warm up her voice. I'm going on a rant. Let me stop lol. (Wednesday 8 November 2023; 17:42) this is a reply to message 103,987

Mariah, please be ready (103,987) by Nikki from usa Honestly, that's my concern as well. I know what she's still capable of vocally, but there have been so many times where it's just basic upkeep and vocal maintenance as her problem. She's not even trying. She still has a good arsenal of vocal abilities and now that she's older she's got richer low notes accessible to her too. Over the past couple of years, it doesn't look like there's a whole lot of prep, planning, or management before performances. She just wings it. If she's going to draw this much attention to herself and then not deliver, I don't see things ending well. Her hardcore fans will always love her, but this is the public entering the chat.

BiPolar plus recent facelift (103,991) by ADAM from USA I suspect Mariah's low energy interviews are due to her bipolar condition. Mariah never addresses her bipolar diagnosis since she was blackmailed by Stella many years ago and had to come out about it in People magazine. It's also very obvious that she received a facelift this year as her face is pulled so tightly compared to what she looked like a year ago. She appears to be in a depression mode as she doesn't release music or support her projects (Butterfly Lounge) like she would when she was inbound a high energy mode. She's clearly going through the motions to make sure her holiday checks are cashed and doing the bare minimum. As a long-time fan, I gotta admit I saw tickets go on sale for NYC across 2 dates and didn't once feel the need to buy tickets. I don't feel she's worth the price of admission to get onstage and lip sync the same routine and hair and makeup schtick. It's really sad to see her go out like this. But at least I can decide how I am going to spend my money if this what she's going to do. (Wednesday 8 November 2023; 14:27)

Annoyed (103,990) by Zachariah from Croatia Is it just me or she looks so annoyed and irritated when she is answering questions during interviews? I love it. She looks... confident? (Wednesday 8 November 2023; 13:36)

Jimmy Kimmel (103,989) by Andrew from the UK Yes, your sentiment is accurate: 1994 Mariah Carey has done extremely well with her Christmas Album and its lead track. This incarnation of Mariah Carey... not so much. (Wednesday 8 November 2023; 12:02) this is a reply to message 103,988

Jimmy Kimmel (103,988) by Nikki from usa Interesting talk coming from a Madonna fan. Perhaps we should go over her appearance and never ending face warp while she tries to relive her youth on stage and does the same things she's done for the past 40 years? But, hey, Mariah's only had an annual hit over the past 5 years, a hit Christmas movie special that went #1 in 100 countries, and old songs so good that they went viral after newbies heard them. What does she know about sales? (Wednesday 8 November 2023; 06:55)

Jimmy Kimmel (103,973) by Andrew from the UK Brandon, how could you not like that interview? Don't you find Mariah talking about lighting interesting? Not even about being late? Not "doing" time? Her "bad" side? Don't you like Mariah looking like she fell asleep in a giant make-up bag? You don't like her being dressed like someone threw a jacket over a hooker to preserve some dignity? Somebody ought to do a montage of just how many times Mariah has said or done all of this shite in interviews to maybe impress upon her that it's maybe something to do with her own behaviour that she can't sell records or tickets the the general public anymore.

Article: Mariah Carey's savage insults to Wendy Williams go viral (103,986) by Nikki from usa Yes, we saw that list, but it also showed who got the work done and some of that was the woman herself, Stella, Stella's daughters and some of it was Mariah. However, none of that includes going under the knife. There's no "surgery" to speak of. So, no, she didn't. The rest you can speculate all you like, but at the end of the day it is just speculation. Carey has been very upfront every year about whatever diet she's on and the exercise routine. She's had just about every body type over the years. (Wednesday 8 November 2023; 06:38)

Usher and Superbowl performance (103,985) by jaker20 from US Here for it. It's going to smash. (Wednesday 8 November 2023; 01:16) this is a reply to message 103,981

Usher and Superbowl performance (103,981) by Bobby A from United States Usher was interviewed on the Today show and he said that MC could make it on his list of performers to join him at his Superbowl Half-time show. There is good a chance that MC may be on his new Coming Home album dropping the same day as his Superbowl Half-time performance. There was a rumour this past summer that he had recorded a duet with a popular R&B diva. Also, he signed a new record deal with Epic-gamma under his independent label mega with L.A. Reid, who is the executive producer on the album. (Tuesday 7 November 2023; 13:47)

Usher and Superbowl performance (103,984) by Bobby A from United States Just wait and see Boo. If I am wrong, I will not post on the board for 30 days after February 11, 2024.

Usher and Superbowl performance (103,982) by Andrew from the UK Another prediction based upon desire and not much else. Sweet sweet fantasy. (Tuesday 7 November 2023; 20:09)

Usher and Superbowl performance (103,983) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I was so surprised to hear Usher randomly mention Mariah. Like it has been so long that they collaborated. Mariah ofcourse didn't confirm it and said he didn't call her for the show yet. Everytime I hear Love In This Club (part 2) I wish Mariah was on it (she was supposed to be on it originally but it fell through). It'll be interesting to see why Usher said that because it'd be random for them to perform "How Much" which no one other than the lambily knows.

Mariah, please be ready (103,977) by Brandon from USA Mariah, please be prepared for your upcoming Christmas shows. Please do not step on that stage looking and acting as if you are under rehearsed and don't know what to do on stage because we can tell when [you] aren't ready (which seems to be the norm unfortunately). Please be professional and have your voice ready. And make sure your pre-recorded vocals match what you can do live. We hate a rough transition from live to pre-recorded. (Monday 6 November 2023; 20:22)

Mariah, please be ready (103,978) by Andrew from the UK Surely you must know that Mariah will - almost undoubtedly - stand motionless front-centre stage for the entirety of the show and lipsync 95% of it? I'm not berating her for it (or, perhaps, I am?) but just stating it as it is. This goes to most recent posts, including the Kimmel so-called "interview", performances and promos. Would that I completely understood modern days audiences I would be wildly rich, but suffice is to say that music and musicianship wildly diverged from what it was in the nineties and noughties - in that *authenticity* became key. People nowadays connect with singers and musicians who appear down-to-Earth and (dare I say it) "real". Does Taylor Swift sell tickets and albums by the bucketload because she's a great singer or songwriter? I'd venture that's a part of it. But another part of it is her relatability. People connect with her. I feel like I connect with her. I feel that were I to bump into her in a pub in London we would have a pint together. I see Mariah on Jimmy Kimmel and I hang my head in pity at what she has allowed herself to become. It is an obnoxious characature of what a "big star" is. It screams delusion. It screams obliviousness. It screams desperation. Mariah will stand still on that bloody Christmas stage in the belief that it is *more* important to look good than to sound good or to move about the stage or to entertain. That's all the matters to her now. Looking good. And, well, does she? *Does* she? I thought she looked bloody awful - literally like someone threw a jacket over her before she walked onto the set in an attempt to save her dignity. And if there's an argument to disprove this any of this, or any reasonably pitch to advance an opposing argument, I'd love to hear it. I'm all ears.

What if Glitter was released on Columbia Records (103,976) by TJ from Norway Am I living on another planet than you, or was your message full of sarcasm? Mariah can't act. Period. (Monday 6 November 2023; 17:32) this is a reply to message 103,971

What if Glitter was released on Columbia Records (103,971) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Mariah said the original script for All That Glitters (the original name of the movie) was very dark and edgy. If Sony was behind the project, maybe Mariah could even win her Oscar for Best Original Song for Never Too Far or at least get nominated for Best Actress. All That Glitters would become what The Bodyguard did to Whitney's. Maybe. (Monday 6 November 2023; 00:45)

What if Glitter was released on Columbia Records (103,975) by Bobby A from United States After you reminded us about those horrible Cheech and Chong movies from the 80's, so why not revisit Glitter for an hour.

What if Glitter was released on Columbia Records (103,970) by Bobby A from United States Let's just say MC's relationship with Sony didn't deteriorate until 2001. Rainbow was released without all of the label turmoil. Thus, leading the way for Sony to pour all of their money into the Glitter movie and soundtrack. Tommy was playing fair and nice to MC. The Loverboy Firecracker sample was released making the Glitter soundtrack bigger than Daydream in terms of album sales. The Grammys committee finally recognized MC for her amazing artistry. Grammys and multiple other awards were awarded to MC for her 2nd biggest album behind Music Box. Would this premise awarded us to have never heard Charmbraclet [sic]? Could MC's vocals on TEOM had been better because she would have never recorded Charmbraclet [sic]? Charmbraclet i[sic] s probably an album that possibly damaged MC's voice. Just me talking to a young friend who never listened to Glitter. He just remembers TEOM and the WBT radio phenomenon. (Monday 6 November 2023; 00:26)

Jimmy Kimmel (103,954) by Brandon from USA She definitely looked beautiful. Call me Negative Nancy but the interview was all fluff. If [you] didn't see the interview, you didn't really miss anything because nothing of substance was talked about. Very little talk about her upcoming shows, no new project news but plenty of talk about prank calls and lighting (insert eye roll). (Friday 3 November 2023; 15:50)

Christmas and New Years are partner holidays after all. Mariah's non-Christmas catalog is up after the holidays because algorithms are picking them up and streamers are looking for what's next on Mariah's playlists, that's what happened to Its A Wrap.
