Ideas (47,657) by S from England What do fans on this messageboard believe got Mariah's vocal condition improving drastically lately? The opening in Japan was so disappointing, then so quickly she turned it around with these past shows. I contend that the answer may have lay I'm the criticism she endured for those opening shows. I feel she might have enlisted a vocal specialist or a stricter vocal regime focusing on vocal hygiene and benign nodule/callus management. Whatever it is, it's certainly working.

My all in Manila (47,656) by Abraham from USA Best that she has sung it so far. I heard her '97 voice in some parts. The tour just keeps getting better. Anyone know where Mariah is headed next? (Wednesday 29 October 2014; 21:25)

Emotions video post (47,650) (47,655) by Lee TS from USA I've been obsessing with this part and kept replaying it over and searching other clips of Emotions in Manila. You have to watch this specific part starting at 2:49 and then notice at 2:51 she goes low. And when I say low, I mean ground bottom low. There's and eeriness about it and a tad bit devilish, then notice the turn she does. It's so awesome I couldn't get over it, a definite Mariah moment for me. (Wednesday 29 October 2014; 18:57)

Abraham (47,654) by Ian James from Sabah, Malaysia You're absolutely right. But I guess there's no harm hoping. Hehe. (Wednesday 29 October 2014; 9:28)

Thirsty video (47,653) by William from Philippines Mariah asked us during her concert here in Manila last night to sing the "uh, you thirsty" line with her and said, "Sing it up because I want you in my video." I think she's making a music video or it's just going to be a video like Hero in China or IG video lol. (Wednesday 29 October 2014; 7:59)

"Hero" in Manila, near-flawless (47,652) by Randy E. from Philippines The highlight of Mariah's Manila show was her near-flawless rendition of "Hero", which drew one of the biggest applause from the audience, with a brief fireworks display towards the end. (Wednesday 29 October 2014; 4:32)

Ian James / I'll Be There (47,651) by Edward from USA Ian James, it is has been obvious that Mariah has been exercising her muscle (voice) and it keeps getting more in shape with every concert. She has been hitting notes she didn't hit in the first few venues. She's also been creative by changing the way she sings some of the most difficult parts of her repertoire. I rather she sings some of her songs tweaking them to suit her voice than fail miserably by trying to hit notes she's not at that moment vocally in shape for. I like when Mariah talks to the audience, I think it is cute. There are songs that call for interaction with the audience like "Always Be My Baby", but when in it comes to the ballads, Popped Eyes help me, lol. It annoys me when she interrupts, let's say "Vision of Love", switching into speaking mode, it kind of take the vibe of the song away for me. I'm happy though that she's getting her confidence back. You'll see that one of these days she'll give you what you need. She's already doing it with some songs. She definitely did a great job with "I'll Be There" in Manila.

So thankful I got to experience Mariah's best performance of her tour (47,650) by Randy E. from Philippines Manila, 12 hours after the concert, I still can't get enough of Mariah. I couldn't sleep, I had to rewatch my videos of the show till 6 a.m. To prove that her Manila stop is the best and the Filipinos are so blessed, here is a video of I'll Be There, not mine, though.

Ian James (47,649) by Abraham from USA There's nothing corny with Mariah speaking to her audience. I think it's cool and sweet. Mostly all artists talk to the audience at their concerts. Mariah is doing just fine. Just because she's singing live good again doesn't mean we should expect her to hit and belt every note and lyric to a song. My gosh, she's just warming up. Give her time. Also, I think her performance of "I'll be there" in Singapore where she wore the blue dress was pretty damn good. (Wednesday 29 October 2014; 1:32)

RockyRoc (47,647) by Ian James from Sabah, Malaysia Such a cute post. Lol. Well, the thing I'm looking forward to the most is a killing performance of I'll Be There. I don't know if it's just me but I'm beginning to find it a bit corny for her to speak to the audience during the "yeah yeah yeah yeah" part. Given her current vocal state, she can definitely give everyone a shock by belting out that part. She's done just that with her Hero performance in Singapore. (Wednesday 29 October 2014; 0:09)

Re: Will Hudson (47,645) by Billy from Greece Hi Will. You and Marcus on Oprah are one of favorite Mariah moments from the "Memoirs" era, especially when you started naming/singing her songs on stage and she responded. I'd love to know how your experience on the "I Want To Know What Love Is" video shoot was (were you there with her?), or if you have ever met her again since then. But wait a minute: you were also on the Jimmy Fallon "Art of Letting Go" mini-concert thingy. You are one lucky lamb. Also, I hope you have fully recovered health-wise.

Mariah's Manila show, the best show of her tour, by far, near-perfection (47,644) by Randy E. from Philippines Hours after her historic second concert here in Manila, I'm still in awe of the goddess that is Mariah. This is her second show in the Philippine capital, and having had the chance to witness her Charmbracelet tour ten years ago, all I can say is: she's still got it. I even appreciate this second time better, probably because it was held in an enclosed arena, so the acoustics is better (the first gig was in an open-field venue). Despite the minimalist stage design, the overall feel and vibe of this latter event is a notch better. More intimate, better acoustics, and I was more prepared and less in awe of Mariah, so I had the time to focus and appreciate her performance (before I was too excited that I wasn't able to enjoy the event). Having had some time to watch her previous shows, I can declare: Mimi has recovered much and has taken control of her instrument. She was confident and performed with ease and aplomb. The best show, by far. Mariah is still very much a force to reckon with. (Tuesday 28 October 2014; 18:47)

Da Brat dishes on Nick and Mariah's divorce (47,643) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End 02:15 Da Brat: She's good with taking care of the babies and raising them. She's got a lot of help, she's doing fine and yes we are still friends. Everything is great and Nick's a great person too. I'm not gonna take nothing away from him because she's one of my best friends. They had their issues, just like every married couple does and they're moving forward, she is and so is he. Diplomacy prevails for now and I'm glad Brat is a lot more Zen in her aura these days. Nick Cannot "The Abandoner" is still dead to me though. (Tuesday 28 October 2014; 17:44)

Emergency, please help a fellow lamb out (47,642) by steven from myanmar Dear brother and sister lambs from Thailand, I'm Steven from Myanmar. Being a lamb myself, I'm been planning to fly to Thailand for the Elusive Chanteuse Show. When I checked to buy tickets it seems that they are all sold out. Are there any extra tickets or venues that still have available tickets for the show? I already bought the flight ticket and paid for the hotel. I'm so gonna hate myself if I don't see mama lamb Mimi this time. I've waited my whole life for this. Please help. Sos. Thanks. (Tuesday 28 October 2014; 17:26)

The tour and her voice (47,641) by Terna from Nigeria There was so much to be said with the first show in Tokyo Japan about the current state of her voice with some even questioning if she still had it, forgetting Mariah hasn't performed in 4 years, that's a long time. I guess nothing can be said now. The haters have been proven wrong once again. Makes one even wonder why they keep trying smh. I have a feeling Mariah is gonna re-release MIAM again or even a totally brand new album next year 2015, with once again killer vocals seeing as the tour is putting her voice in a great place, reminiscent of the Charmbracelet tour before The Emancipation Of Mimi. (Tuesday 28 October 2014; 14:38)

First post (47,640) by Will Hudson from United States Hi lambs, I am new to the board btw but certainly not new to loving Mariah's music. Thanks for having me lambs. I look forward to joining the conversation. (Tuesday 28 October 2014; 3:53)

Abraham / tour (47,639) by Stacey from USA Abraham, I hesitate to write this because I know the drama that will follow. Then there is that one time where you just have to speak up. My post was all positive. And yet you manage to take one name you found annoying and post something critical. If PH is singing MC's praises, you know she is shutting up her critics, something I assumed all fans including yourself would agree with. Silly me, lol. Tour; In any event, she is sounding better with each stop. I can't wait for that first album post tour. After CB, we got the fabulous TEOM-like Daydream part II album. And you all know Daydream is my jam. I remember getting all giddy hearing snippets of TEOM. I can't wait for that place she'll be in post tour and what songs may come from it. (Tuesday 28 October 2014; 1:58)

Mariah is so annoying (47,638) by RockyRoc from England I was just singing along to My All and when it got to the end I got so annoyed at her because she could sing much lower than I can, like seriously, you have all the high notes but you can't even let me have the low notes. Anyways, I'm glad Mariah is back and I'm hoping she gets more comfortable so we can see more live performances, I want her to belt Supernatural for reals, that's one thing I'm looking forward to the most. What are the rest of you looking forward to see? (Tuesday 28 October 2014; 1:38)

Have you? (47,637) by PieterLamb from Indonesia I can't tell how excited I am to hear/read/notice all of positive feedbacks and comments towards her recent live performances. But would like to remind you: "Have you get yourself a copy of her latest album?" If yes, good for you having one of great works of Mariah. If not, "What are you waiting for? Just get yourself a copy and don't miss one of great albums she ever produced." MC, you really make us lambs proud. Keep singing, angel. (Tuesday 28 October 2014; 1:26)

Ew (47,636) by Dan from US You hang out with Amber Rose lmfao compared to [...]? I'm so discusted with Nick, Mariah should just move and relocate her life in another country where she would be happy I think, and I'm sorry but screw Nick. Also watching her perform the past few concerts I am beyond happy for her, she seems to be at a good place now and I want her happiness to continue with her and her children and the people surrounding her.

The Elusive Chanteuse tour (47,635) by B from USA Mariah is slaying with her vocals on this tour. I think this was a smart decision. She's reconnecting with her fans and cementing her status as the premiere female vocalist of our time. I knew she was sick during the first stop on the tour and it's sad that the media and fans alike hastily jumped on the Mariah can't sing no more, she's lost her voice bandwagon. Mariah is like a Phoenix always rising from the ashes. Why people, especially her fans, continue to doubt her or question her talent is beyond me. Mariah is on fire. I can't stop watching the videos you guys keep posting. Thanks so much for sharing. I appreciate you. (Tuesday 28 October 2014; 0:32)

I'll be there in Singapore (47,634) by Abraham from USA Literally blew me away. Mariah sounded great. Her voice and belts were on point. I'm talking about the performance she wore that blue dress. Not the pink one. That one didn't really impress me. Her performances of "Hero", "We belong together", "Fly like a bird" and "Lullaby of birdland" have all been giving me life and putting a big smile on my face. I'm so proud of her. Keep it up Mariah. (Monday 27 October 2014; 22:57)

Taipei, Lullaby of Birdland / I'm That Chick (47,633) by 123 from USA Her rendition of Lullaby of Birdland in Taipei was even better than the one in Singapore. Awesome. I also love the live vocals she is giving on I'm That Chick. They changed it up a bit and I love the song all over again. All she needs is to add that sick intro she used to do when she performed the song back in 08. (Monday 27 October 2014; 22:56)

Perez Hilton (47,632) by Abraham from USA Who cares what he has to say? The guy's a total loser. He's bashed Mariah and Lady Gaga. He was one of the ones that doubted Mariah's voice. Now that she's slaying he's praising her. What a hypocrite. The dude's been irrelevant for years now. (Monday 27 October 2014; 22:47)
