Adena (53,088) by Elena from The Netherlands Thank you Adena, for the recording. I put it on loud whilst cleaning the house and I enjoyed it so much. I can't wait to see the full show on DVD. (Friday 8 May 2015; 9:29)

Vegas (53,087) by Elena from The Netherlands I am very proud of Mariah. She finally got a stage with the right props and decor that she deserves and gets to celebrate her 18 #1's properly. It's an emotional ride for her. This is 25 years of hard work and dedication. In every song there are memories for her how she created them and where she was in that time of her life. There must be a lot of that coming back, the good and the bad, then starting with a clean slate. I love how after the Daydream songs they did an interlude of Butterfly. It's clear why she wanted that in the show, because that album was a major turning point for her and I love how this was used before she started Honey. I love the set up of the show and I was really looking forward to my favorite MC song, IDWC. I accept her current state of her voice, and I think she slayed that song. It was a real treat. I loved her little acapella of TGIFY, wonderful. The screen behind her with Fantasy, superb, that's how it's supposed to be done. The guitar intro of My All, Dreamlover remix, all good stuff. The end high note on Infinity, where the violin run kicks in, chills and tears it gave me. So proud. The one critical point I have is her not moving around that much. When she does, it gives so much energy. She used to do that and it's important to own that stage to the maximum. It's really a simple thing that she can do something about and nobody will bother about her raspy vocals. Don't be harsh on her. She deserves this. (Friday 8 May 2015; 9:24)

TGIFY Vegas performance (53,086) by 123 from USA Wow to this performance. I need her to embrace her darker, smokier tone. The way she played with areas of her voice from low and husky to whispery, to these soulful belts. You even hear people reacting to her singing. The ending is why she is Mariah Carey. I need some songs on the new album with these types of vocals and song direction. (Friday 8 May 2015; 9:22)

MC1989 (53,085) by Mohd Syafali Izwan from Malaysia Please get your tickets and see Mariah live in Vegas. Don't be here barking all over the place. You are just annoying haters. (Friday 8 May 2015; 9:19)

LC / Lamb_O_Chop / be nice or leave (53,084) by Musti from UK I agree. Guys, please please please. Remember that this is a public message board. It's funny how things we discuss here turn up in some anti-Mariah article two days later saying fans are upset about this and that. Mariah has been serving the lambily with lipping since Butterfly. Her voice is not like it was in the 90s. Her high chest notes are only there on a good day, not every minute of every day. You either get that or you don't. But please don't bring your frustration here. It is you people who will destroy her career with the hateful things you post, not her lipping which she's been doing for well over a decade now. I can only advise you to stop being delusional and to face reality, this is what her voice sounds like today. The studio product is obviously much better than all her recent live performances combined as she can do several takes and pick the one where she sounds the best. I am content with that. She is a legend. If that doesn't do it for you anymore then don't listen to her new material, don't go to Vegas, don't support her. But don't bash her either. We are all so tired of hearing it. She is on the verge of silencing all her haters and yet you so-called lambs come here to destroy her. Keep it to yourselves please. (Friday 8 May 2015; 9:17)

Las Vegas / Infinity (53,083) by Warren from Trinidad & Tobago I like what I am seeing and hearing from MC alot. The clips, the promos, everything. As for Infinity, I do think that video should have been out already, but I assume her new people know more than I do since everything in this new era seems to be working. I will say this though, I don't hear her on the radio at all, and on Tuesday I heard Infinity on the local radio station. I never even heard #Beautiful. Granted I am from the Caribbean and from an island of 1.3 million people, but it says something about the market penetration and what's been happening behind the scenes. I hope to see it climb the charts. (Friday 8 May 2015; 7:52)

Mariah and Missy (53,082) by Jono from USA I was just listening to the Heartbreaker (remix), it's so fire. It's been forever since Missy Elliott has had a new album out, and now that she's healthy again, I think it would be amazing if her and Mariah worked together again. They teamed up 15 years ago, and dominated 2005 together. A new record together would be hot. Queen of R&B and hip hop. (Friday 8 May 2015; 7:02)

Re: project Infinity (53,081) by ktktkt from Philippines Just a tip, create a playlist and add Infinity (one song only) then click on the repeat icon. In that way, it will refresh automatically. Happy streaming. (Friday 8 May 2015; 6:51)

Negativity (53,080) by Mara from United States Ok so I've read through all the comments on all the websites, twitter, facebook and especially here. Most are praising Mariah for a fantastic opening night. All the review headlines read "She hit all the high notes." The GP see this as she is redeeming herself from the past year. Real fans that have followed Mariah know her Chantuse shows improved the further into them she got and her Christmas shows at the Beacon were pristine. I was there to hear for myself. Now I am a fan that agrees everyone has a right to their own opinion, but people come on. This is Vegas and as Mimi L stated before, everything should be on point in Vegas and therefore lipping is necessary, especially due to the frequency of shows and especially an artist of Mariah's calibur and catalog. It's not like she sings Katy Perry type songs and just stands there. M's catalog is beyond acrobatic and add in there 25 years later and it's silly to think there will not be lipping. Mariah Carey is a vocalist yes, but she is also Mariah Carey The Entertainer. And I for one am just happy to watch that live in front of my eyes. I am totally ok with backing tracks if I can see that living talent in the flesh. I don't know, am I alone here. I am never a negative lamb, but maybe some lambs are just never happy or satisfied? Can't we be happy she didn't just decide to walk away, raise her children and live on an island somewhere never to be heard of again? She certainly is more than capable to do that if she pleases. (Friday 8 May 2015; 6:16)

Eric (53,079) by Marcel from Montréal, Canada I've always have this feeling that in this board, although with all of your sensoring, we were able to express our ideas and sometimes being insulted by certain members, you know, the real fans as they proclaim themselves but it was really sad to read you insult in a harsh way a our friend from Spain who rarely agrees (hope you're not censoring my Spanish phrase) someone who has the right to write his mind off to not penalty of being bad-mouthed from not other than (and in this case than is right not in yours that'd had been then) the webmaster himself. I just hope this board does not becomes what MariahDaily did when taken by Mariah's staff. On another topic I won't say anything about her vocals in Vegas until hq feeds are available and will actually applaud her for how she's handling interviews. She still needs to step back a bit to those days when she was clever, mature and presice but so far so good. She's kinda letting the boring diva behind and that's something even thouth the bitchy I am, I really have to recognize. I don't wanna end up being negative so I won't talk about three or four of the things she wore. Perhaps she just needs a full-body mirror and that's it. So please Eric imo you'd apologize to oops is Javier his name? Or at least re-think, read-twice before addressing members of your board, because members are the ones that make your site succeed.

Negativity (53,078) by Tevin from USA With all the negative comments and certain people on her lately, I can't believe I'm saying this but I rather read the TMZ or Wendy Willams comment sections, they seem to be more positive about Mariah than some people on this board. You might not like everything, like I hate that pink dress but don't beat the woman up when she is trying to please everyone. I'm so grateful to be able to hear LTT song by her even if it's only 98% live. Mariah has sacraficed her most precious gift for us. her voice. It's still good but imagine if she would have left the game when she was on top, she still will have her 96, 97 voice, but she toild away and song for us her fans. At the end of the day we will still have her cds and videos, but she will have her voice and what's left of its past glory, so be thankful she is willing to still try to shine for each one of us. All that gliters is truly gold. (Friday 8 May 2015; 5:14)

Finding Nemo (53,077) by Tevin from USA I love Mariah and she is so hot but that pink dress has got to go, it looks like a fish that is trying eat her. Lol I think she is fishing for attention with that dress. Lol puns all day, love MC. (Friday 8 May 2015; 5:01)

Vegas (53,076) by Darryle from USA I thought Mariah did great. It was her first show, she was probably very nervous, and she hadn't performed in about 3 months. Cut her some slack. She looked really good (pink gown aside) and she sounded good. She might not be belting like it's 1996 but then again I didn't expect her to. I'm happy to see the Mariah I know and love back. (Friday 8 May 2015; 4:12)

Second verses and alternate stuff (53,075) by Reuben Walton from United States Too many second verses were cut. I wish I could've heard the real version of TGIFY. But all in all for me it was a worthwhile experience since it was first time seeing her live. (Friday 8 May 2015; 4:00)

Why so mych hate on MC1989? (53,074) by Jon from Netherlands I've never seen so much hate on someone around here. Other people have made comments like that or just plain rude, dirty comments and didn't get so much hate. (Friday 8 May 2015; 3:39)

Sorry, Wendy again (53,073) by Lee TS from USA Oh my the sun risen in the west today. Ms. Williams raved about M's debut. Lol. Fun watch. (Friday 8 May 2015; 3:25)

It's not just Mariah who has to be "real" / MC1989 (53,072) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines I get that deep inside, your comments come from a place of love. You do want Mariah to do well. You don't want cheating. We have that in common, all of us on this board do. It's just that as much as we would like her to be "real" with regards to her voice these days, we also have to return the favor, not just by lowering our own expectations, but by accepting the harsh reality that no matter how much we or probably even Mariah explains that things are not easily done as they used to be, you can never ever shake off the general public's expectation of her to still belt out Hero like she did twenty years ago. It's practically engraved in world history that Mariah Carey is synonymous with flawless octave-scaling vocals. She is pressured to live up to that. She probably takes it as a back-handed compliment of just how high she set the standard for herself in the past. So before we feel bad for ourselves for being fans of a singer who is not being "real" enough, can we first stop and take a moment to try and empathize with her somehow, no matter how impossible that may seem. So she disappoints us at times. We feel disappointed. How do we act on that? We come to this messageboard and post about how we feel let down by her. But do we really ever try to set ourselves aside first and think, "How does Mariah actually feel about herself when she lets her fans down?" For all we know, she's much harder on herself than we are on her. Peace. (Friday 8 May 2015; 3:21)

One thing M can learn from Wendy Williams (53,071) by Lee TS from USA Is get yourself a good wig-ologist girl. She needs to burn them wigs in that bonfire as well. And the shoes too. (Friday 8 May 2015; 2:50)

I think it's 100% uncalled for (53,070) by SeannGrey from Malaysia To say that she lipped her entire show or that you are disappointed with her lipping even parts of the show. No living human (not even your almighty Celine or Beyonce) can do the 19-vocals-Olympics-setlist she just did. Give her a break. It's just ridiculous. I applaud her (may she be 20 or 45 for doing this). (Friday 8 May 2015; 2:44)

LC (53,064) by Seth M from South Africa My sentiments exactly LC. I agree totally with what you said. Instead of focusing their energy into helping Infinity get to number 1, some so called lambs are too quick to criticize. They waste time talking about Mariah's dress, etc. I mean really, rather spend the time streaming Infinity. Don't ask me how, but I'm pretty much sure that Mariah herself visits this website and it is embarrassing that her own lambs are found writing such harsh comments when the general public is praising her now. Stop the negativity lambs and help get Infinity to number 1 on the Hot 100. (Friday 8 May 2015; 2:23)

Love Takes Time - Vegas (53,063) by 123 from USA Ok, my mind is made up. I have to go, if only to witness this song sung, one last time. (Friday 8 May 2015; 2:18)

Mariah in NY Times review (53,061) by ADAM from USA I would like to update my previous comments about Infinity. I actually love this song in a way I haven't felt since WBT. I can't get the melody out of my head and really love all the lyrics. It really grew on me and I wanted to share my opinion about it with the forum as a result because sometimes I can be very critical of Mariah. Regarding Vegas, I love the way she sounds on most of the songs and am so excited to see her new costumes and set. My biggest favs are IDWC and LTT. I cringe really badly when I hear VOL and DL. I hope her voice polishes up nicely throughout the run of shows, however I will say I just read the NY Times review and it was harsh. The writer really went in on MC and basically revealed what we all already know - she lips her whistle notes and struggles very badly during all the others. Her even called out her methodical process of her pausing and covering her ear piece to then emit a clear loud whistle note. I'm really surprised that now the mainstream media is catching on to her concealed tricks us fans were only privy too. It's so obvious when she's doing it I'd be surprised if more people don't catch on and speak up as well. Anyhow, I love her Vegas show and am glad to see her perform this setlist even if parts of it are fake. She makes me so happy and I love her voice from the 90s until today all raspy and dry. (Friday 8 May 2015; 2:16)

This is why I'm attending the Vegas show (53,060) by 123 from USA I've been a fan since 1990. I doubt she will ever sing her classics from the first two albums ever again after this show. She hasn't sang IDWTC since 1995 and LTT since 1993. IDWTC sounds great with her current voice and it sounds live. I don't know if and when I'll ever get to hear her sing these songs ever again sans a snippet here and there at a future concern if she choses to which is unlikely. (Friday 8 May 2015; 2:04)

MC1989 (53,059) by Bill from the UK Whilst I don't agree with MC1989's comments, there is absolutely no need to be so rude. Counter arguments can be made without being spiteful. Personally I think the performances I have heard have been fantastic. I loved John John's write up and can't wait to read his full review. So glad to also see Mariah finally get some good press as well. She is giving it her all and putting on a great show. Sit back and enjoy it everybody, don't spend your lives nitpicking every note. (Friday 8 May 2015; 1:50)

Mimi L. / pink dress (53,058) by Abraham from USA Well thanks. The pink dress she wore at her Vegas show. When I first saw it I was like "What the hell is that" lol? It looked like a combination of a pancho and a piñata. I literally laughed at the "burn it and use it as a bonfire" line lol. Who made that thing? (Friday 8 May 2015; 1:31)
