Make it happen (47,947) by yiorgos from Germany , Berlin The "Make it happen" performance on the last show gave me life. She always makes it happen. (Monday 17 November 2014; 19:31)

Philipp / The Warning (47,946) by Edward from USA Philipp, I think that song is utter garbage, plain and simple. What a waste of time going in the studio for that. Mariah was evidently as high as a kite, so embarrassing. I never heard that song, and I wish I never had. (Monday 17 November 2014; 19:01)

Uncle Murda - The Warning feat. Mariah Carey (47,945) by Philipp from Switzerland Do you guys like this song? I just discovered it on YouTube and I've got to admit, I quite like it. (Monday 17 November 2014; 17:35)

The Elusive Chanteuse DVD (47,944) by Lainsky from Philippines Although she started a bit rough that has yielded not so good reviews, she silenced all her bashers and concluded the concert tour with a bang by giving great vocal performances from the middle till the end of the tour. Hopefully, IDJ will release a DVD like TAOM with all her great performances of the tracks she performed including the medley of those songs she rarely performs. Then it will be good if it will coincide with the re-release of MIAMTEC album with a few new tracks, which if they will do, would be better to release on Christmas day or a week before that with some promo singles, video and also in time for her Christmas mini-concert in NY.

(47,943) by NHYTG from nyc virgo. miss thanks for posting this review, I wish it would go around the world just as the Tokyo videos did but I don't think that will happen. Concerning Mariah publishing bad news seems to be more interesting than any good news, always has been like that, always will be. At least Mariah has proven us, her fans, that the voice is still there, I'm gratefull for that. And about Mariah following trends? I hope she will stay true to herself and will not get lost in a desperate hunt for chart-success. She has nothing to prove anymore and I wouldn't mind her having a career on a lower level from now on. To me it's most important that she feels happy in whatever she does and whatever music she makes. After Don't Explain and Lullaby I would't mind more jazzy songs or even a jazz album but MIAMTEC part 2 would be great to, we'll have to wait and see. (Monday 17 November 2014; 11:36)

Last concert of the tour (47,942) by virgo.miss from australia We went along to the A Day On The Green concert yesterday. It's an outdoor thing in a winery. We were right at the back because we opted for tickets in the private bar area rather than use the portaloos. Anyway, she really was fantastic. The sound was so good it you would almost think it was all lipped, but everytime she spoke she'd sing in this perfect voice just so everyone knew it was real. I went to the Gold Coast show on 1/1/13 and whilst she sounded good, she was 90 minutes late, only did 12 songs max and spent half the time changing frock. This time she was almost dead on time, did at least 20 songs and whilst she did change twice both times she was off less than 5 minutes. Last time was a bit of a shambles, this time, whilst simple, it was tight and professional. I can think of one obvious thing thats changed in Mariahs life in that time and I reckon it's for the best. Anyway, here is the review in our paper. (Monday 17 November 2014; 9:32)

Collabos (47,941) by Lee TS from USA Mariah's been pretty vocal about not hopping onto any trends and if she did EDM, that would be a total sellout and thirsty for that hit. I get we need Mariah to be played on the radio again but that's just not her. You would think Dupri and Cox has Mariah stuck but it's actually not true, at least not on MIAMTEC. MILG, YDKWTD, and Supernatural? Some of the best tracks in my opinion. I like Big Jim but there's something about him and Mariah that just doesn't gel for me, he's great for like a gospel type of track. The true duo I don't want Mariah working with ever again would be Tricky and The Dream, they're just no. But yes, Mariah should definitely try working with new people or old collaborators like Babyface, James Poyser, Jimmy Jam and Terry, and even Missy. (Monday 17 November 2014; 9:24)

Nick cost her 6 years, missed opportunities for singles, etc. (47,940) by Reuben Walton from United States The rest of E=MC2 unquestionably could have built off of TMB's momentum, Migrate, Side Effects, etc. and she certainly could've scored at least one more #1's with either Ribbon, MTJF, or 100%. 100% could've been another Hero, so many missed opportunities. MOAIA could've been a huge album. It's what made me really really fall in love with MC because it was so. damn. smooth. This album was so big for me. During my freshman year at UMass Lowell (2009-2010) I used to lie all cozy in my bed in my dorm room, stoned, with my amazing headphones and just immerse myself in its luxury. Mimi was a goddess for me here, as I have an immense and equal appreciation for both her artistry, melodies, and for the exquisite production which others called too samey, but I was in love from that album and still am. I really had always loved her music growing up but only in the last half decade did I really truly grasp the depth of her talents. (Monday 17 November 2014; 5:49)

Nikki and Thirsty (47,938) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Thirsty is in fact very vindictive. Why else would he be on Big Boy's tabloid show giving lip about his stareffing on Mariah's birthday? I mean, he couldn't have picked any other day to group his wife in with all the women he sexed, just because? It's not the false and negative rumours about Mariah that ping the alarm. It's how pristine Thirsty always comes across in those same stories. Thirsty is the real jumpoff, all the women he's bedded are more famous than he is, even after Mariah woke up and smelled the desperation disguised as her spiritual soulmate. Mariah doesn't realise how much personal information there is about her online and in her music. She writes her own songs for crying out loud. She might as well have published her diary in some cases. Thirsty just did his research and played the right beats. We all know Mariah is very spiritual, she makes it a point to write gospel influenced songs on every album since her debut. Mimi is fiercely protective of her inner child and is attracted to that quality in others. She's made a conscious habit of not being promiscuous. Unfortunately these and other personal things are public knowledge for anyone to use in order to get close to her. BTW, from where did you get the ludicrous idea that Mariah has always wanted a man to "help" and take care of? And how was Thirsty going to better her career in any way? He was supposed to be her husband and the father to her kids, not her manager. (Sunday 16 November 2014; 19:34)

EDM (47,937) by B from USA Mariah has always followed the latest trends. If she wants to score that elusive 19th #1, she needs to embrace EDM. Rhianna's We Found Love is R&B EDM (Urban EDM). I think Mariah should co write and co produce her next single with Clavin Harris. Her work with DJ/Producer David Morales resulted in some of the most iconic and critically acclaimed dance remixes (songs) of the 90's. She needs to cut ties with JD and Brian Michael Cox, their sound is stuck in 2005. I'm afraid if Mariah doesn't work with new collaborators she'll become irrelevant. Madonna has always followed trends and it always works because she doesn't try to be someone else (most of the time, anyways). As long as Mariah is involved in the writing and producing she'll make the transition successfully. What do you guys think? I'm not saying I want Mariah to make an EDM album, I just think she should make a couple Urban EDM songs for her next album. She should also stick to the retro soul, Motown throwback feel of her latest album. Mariah, like Bruno Mars, can make throwback music that sounds current and timeless. Happy Perez, Calvin Harris, Bruno Mars and The Smeezingtons are the songwriters and producers Mariah should collaborate with on her next album. Fingers crossed. (Sunday 16 November 2014; 18:07)

Make it happen live (47,936) by Ty from USA She ended the tour with a festive version of "Make it happen". Glad this tour ended with good energy, great vocals, dem babies and a partially new setlist. Hope faded, slipped away, and was mine again. I was all alone in love and love takes time will be a song again somewhere in the future. (Sunday 16 November 2014; 17:15)

Hero / Auckland NZ (47,935) by Edward from USA I really appreciate this raw performance of Hero in New Zealand. Mariah really went for it. (Sunday 16 November 2014; 15:41)

Lee TS / Mariah making pop music with Max Martin (47,933) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines I love Blank Space as well. I'll place 1989 as the best mainstream pop album this lackluster year, and the 2nd best overall release this year, behind MIAMTEC, of course. Now with Max, there's no denying the guy's a genius. From ...Baby One More Time which was released 16 years ago to Tay's Shake It Off, he clearly knows the signs of the times and how to make a hit record. However, I believe his success with Taylor is more because of Taylor's way with unpretentious lyricism and way with hooks that stick. Not all of Max's works are gold. Those he created with Katy, in particular, lean towards generic. So his brilliance is also dependent on the artist he works with, so his method can be mayhem in the hands of lesser artists. And since Mariah is both a great lyricist and composer, I have no doubt she and Max will create magic. She's very particular about what she wants when she's in the studio, so she's surely gonna be stubborn and stick with that and Max is gonna have to fit around that mold. I'm open to them collaborating just to hear what their creations would sound like, but I'd honestly be quite surprised if she did. I have this feeling she might see the move as "selling out", especially since Max has been one of the "it" producers for quite some time now. (Sunday 16 November 2014; 8:50)

Ty / Don't Forget About Us (47,932) by Marcus from Brazil Ty, what are you, a religious fanatic? That time Mariah got a papercut I'm pretty sure you thought it was stigmata. Get off your high horse, Mariah isn't Jesus, Oprah is, lol. Now focusing on something positive like "real fans" do, I'm loving the fact Mariah is looking more confident on stage. I love the "Don't Forget About Us" performance. (Sunday 16 November 2014; 4:52)

Marcus (47,931) by Ty from USA You all are in your feelings talking about rude. Real fans don't focus on the negative. They enjoy the music, enjoy the performances. Mariah is a mother now. For her to still produce an incredible cd and tour is showcasing her love. Now get off my back [censored]. (Sunday 16 November 2014; 2:12)

Ty / finally (47,930) by Marcus from Brazil Ty, when you feel like a post is personally affecting you that much, consider a Tylenol and a Dramamine. When I look at your posts, I breathe deep, and skip to the next one. See how easy it is? If I want to talk about lipsyncing, you could pretend your opinion is law and tell me not to do it 10,000 times, but that would still mean nothing to me. So, don't waste your time. State your opinion, respect others'. Be nice or leave, you can be pretty rude. (Sunday 16 November 2014; 2:05)

Nick (47,929) by nikki from usa Nick is an attention ho, he's "thirsty", and can't shut up, but I don't see him being vindictive. The media has been making up weird ass stories about MC long before Nick was in the picture. Even when Nick listed his list of jump offs, it was Kim the media fixed on. I do think he's easily infatuated. He was with Kim for like 8 months. Christina Milian was with him for 2 years, but said she caught him cheating repeatedly. He moved on to a Victoria Secret model, then traded her for another one. He was with Selita for only 3 months before he proposed marriage to her. They broke it off 5 months later. It was rumored he cheated. He dated Nicole, the lead singer of the Pussycat Dolls, for 3 months before he spent a week with Mariah and called it off. They officially dated for 3 weeks before he proposed. Nick can't keep it in his pants and I do think he thought MC could help his career. But, honestly I think she did too. She was always there to make appearances and hiring him to do her music videos. I think MC wants a man she can "help" or take care of to a degree. She also bought him a Lamborghini for his birthday. I was always surprised no matter what Nick bought for MC, he was quick to buy something even more expensive for himself. He recently spent 2 million on a pair of shoes. Ironically, Nick may be the one with spending problems. (Sunday 16 November 2014; 1:50)

Lipping who cares (47,928) by Ty from USA Listen lambs we all the truth. But the real lambs don't care. We've been in this 20 years and could care less. If you are looking for some perfect vocal to satisfy your own security. Your pushing ice cream carts. Mimi gave us the cd, a tour, tour clips. That's not enough? Stop complaining about lipping. It's [...]. Let her do her thing. (Sunday 16 November 2014; 0:32)

My All / much more convincing (47,927) by Marcus from Brazil Those performances of "My All" were partially lipped but nonetheless decent. At least she's not doing her signature look-at-me I'm-lipping-now movements. During the past few shows she's upped her lipsyncing to the difficult parts like a professional, to the point where it looks more convincing and in sync, that's why they call it lipsync, duh. Now she only has to work on being on pitch when she switches from lipping to her current voice because sometimes the transition is kind of evident. I personally think she'll wrap it up with the US Christmas mini tour. We love her here in Brazil, but I doubt she'll be on the road again once she's done on December. Having dem babies traveling around the world could be a little bit too much for them. (Saturday 15 November 2014; 22:55)

Current voice (47,926) by juan from Dubai Mariah has always stated that she needs a particular type of rest just for her voice to be in perfect shape. I believe by age, her pitch, endurance and agility is less but the voice is now more layered and soulful. So, the last concerts showed what she really has and we need to promote to the world her voice is definitely still there. (Saturday 15 November 2014; 21:21)

My all (47,925) by Jenny from South Africa Those 2 performances of My All were incredible LC. Thanks for sharing them. I watched them several times over. I actually prefer the Sydney one slightly though but they were both moving. Her vocal ability is first class. (Saturday 15 November 2014; 20:34)

Mariah dance remix video megamix (47,924) by enwar00 from usa I hope everyone is well. The Lenny Mariah mash up, which I loved btw, led me to this. Cool hearing some of these that I hadn't in years, 11 videos in 11 minutes, so I thought I'd share. I never even heard the Up Out My Face mix. (Saturday 15 November 2014; 17:26)

My All in Sydney and New Zealand: amazing (47,923) by LC from USA Have you guys seen these videos? Mariah sounds amazing. These are of her performing My All in Sydney and New Zealand, and she absolutely kills it. Even though the backup singers kept on singing the "feel your body, feel your body" part from the remix, Mariah chose to sing the original climax of the song undeniably live and even continued belting at the end. Especially in the New Zealand clip, she showed so much control and technique in her live singing, and also an absolute understanding of her voice that I haven't seen since the Charmbracelet Tour. I'm so proud of her. And to those that counted her out, what say you now? (Saturday 15 November 2014; 16:02)

Nick (47,922) by B from USA I believe the theories that Nick and his camp are spreading these rumors. Mariah wouldn't comment on Kim's Paper Moon photos, because she's friends with Kanye and that's not in her bag. Nick used her. He used every woman he's ever been with, leaving them for someone with more fame. Mariah will be around long after Nick fades into obscurity. I love Slipping Away. Mariah obviously wanted the song to be heard. Why else would she release it as the the b side to her Always Be My Baby single. Her singles sold like hotcakes at that time. I think Tommy was the reason the song didn't make the track listing. He was most likely fearing the public would read between the lines and realize there was trouble in paradise. If Mariah still doesn't want to jump on the EDM bandwagon then she should just keep making the retro soul, Motown throwback kind of music she's been making. A new collaborator she should and could work with is Bruno and his production and songwriting team. Another idea, Mark Rosen the mastermind behind Amy Winehouse's album that featured Rehab. (Saturday 15 November 2014; 15:48)

Slipping away / Don't forget about us in New Zealand (47,921) by Abraham from USA If I'm wrong, the reason "Slipping away" didn't make the "Daydream" album was because the label thought the song was too r&b and mature. Which was whack and lame, considering it's such a great song and probably would have been a chart topper. But anyways, Mariah's performance of "DFAU" in New Zealand gave me life. It was amazing. I've been wanting a live performance of that song for awhile now and I got it. She didn't sing all of it, but I'm still grateful she performed it. I think that's one of her best songs. (Saturday 15 November 2014; 11:41)
