Messageboard

Abraham (45,793) by Orkun from The Netherlands You are the one with the criticism. You criticize fans who critisize her. Continuously. Why do you always criticize me and label me as one? So be an example of what you stand for and accept me as I am, and everyone else. Do you really think I am not aware of the possible judgement I will get when I post my opinions on here? I will express my thoughts untill my last breath. And as for me for not being a fan, according to you. Wow. Try to accept diversity in life. I would never say you are not a fan. At max, you are just a different fan than I am. You got a problem with that? Also fine. Final note: my critisicm has always been about music. Other things you mention, are your frustrations. Not mine. (Monday 4 August 2014; 14:20)

Re: Angelo from Italy and the never ending negativity from some (45,792) by MimiLamb from Germany When you are so tired of her, when you think she's so boring and isn't behaving like a singer but as an actress, than stop being a fan of hers. The acceptance speech she gave and the special shoutout to the Lambily made me happy but also very sad, a big part of her fanbase are bashing her nonstop and here she is thanking them. But ofcourse nobody is talking about that on this messageboard, only about the performance and how bad it was. It makes clear that some just look for the negative because the positive isn't even mentioned. Personally I would love for Mariah to sing live as much as she can, because enough of us do believe she's still able to do just that. But it is what it is. Either you can deal with it or you can't, simple as that. As for the negativity, it's always the same people, so as soon as I see their names I skip their messages. (Monday 4 August 2014; 14:04)

Meteorite (45,791) by Abraham from USA I don't think "Meteorite" is Mariah's worst song. Nor do I find it boring. I like it. It's something different, and unique. Very 70's, which I love. (Monday 4 August 2014; 13:51)

Orkun (45,790) by Abraham from USA There you go again. I'm sorry dude, but you're no fan. You always have something negative to post about Mariah. And if you're not putting her or her music down, you're criticizing her. Enough, I can't stop you from posting. But I can give it to you straight and tell it how it is. I could care less about Mariah's live singing. If and when she does sing live, great. I'll be waiting. But if that doesn't happen (which I'm sure it will) it's not going to affect or change how I feel about her. She's clearly going through something with her voice. Maybe it's the nodules? Who knows, but we're supposed to be supporting her. Not criticizing or knocking her down. It's always her hair, her weight, what she wears, her voice, the lip performances. (Monday 4 August 2014; 13:45)

WMA Meteorite (45,789) by Angelo from Italy So tired of her, she's not a singer, she's an actress. So boring the song, so playback the performance. With those awards so important and really relevants it's a shame her lip-sync. (Monday 4 August 2014; 13:09)

Meteorite (45,788) by Billy from England, UK Meteorite in my opinion is one of Mariah's worst songs ever. It just doesn't do anything for me, so boring. (Monday 4 August 2014; 12:54)

Meteorite (45,787) by Bill from the UK I actually really enjoyed it. The dancers supplied the energy, Mariah supplied the class. She looked great, loved the ending, and what a song to open up the WMAs with. I agree with Anthony below, she's got nothing to prove and is a living legend. Let's all appreciate and enjoy her rather than nitpick everything she does. Where's the love in that? I love you Mariah. (Monday 4 August 2014; 12:10)

Meteorite performance (45,786) by Orkun from The Netherlands Painful to watch. Katy Perry is, in my opinion referring to this, when she says "Sucking at Mariah Carey karaoke". Yes, she was that bad. (Monday 4 August 2014; 10:07)

Meteorite live (45,785) by Anthony Basco from Cardiff, Wales I'll start off by saying it's one of the best songs on the album and so unexpected. It's like Mariah doing a Madonna better than Madonna does her. As for the performance, I don't know if it was lipped and I'm not sure I care. I loved watching this, I had a smile on my face the whole time, and the final whistle gave me life. Whenever I see Mariah now, I'm no longer watching an artist rise and fight her way to the top. I'm seeing a legend. And I fall in love with her all over again. Thank you Mariah. You are phenomenal. (Monday 4 August 2014; 9:42)

Meteorite (45,784) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter What a disappointment. I never really got into this song but I know a lot of fans love it. What was she doing? She was standing so stiff, not a single move, not even a hip sway. The singing was definitely not live, it was basically the album version playing and at the end she added a whistle. I don't have a problem if she lip synchs, just make it believable, put an effort to maybe lip synch to a slightly different version than the original. And since she was lip synching she could have at least moved around the stage. Bust a move or two. Just simple moving around would do like FLAB at Grammys. Where is the energy? If she can't dance in heels anymore just leave it and wear something comfortable. She looked good, the dress was sexy without being vulgar, everything was going good. But the performance was bad.

Shelly (45,780) by Abraham from USA Really, that"s cool. I thought I was the only one. It's nothing personal against Celine. I think she has an amazing voice, and I like some of her songs. But I just would have preferred Mariah to have sung with R. Kelly in "I'm your angel". It's her type of song. And the gospel chorus in the end is so Mariah. I'm hoping Mariah saved "I'll still be around" or "Save the day" for whatever next she plans on releasing. Those 2 two songs based on their titles sound like they would be a ballad or gospel type song. (If they are actual songs)? Right now I'm really feeling and enjoying "Heavenly". I love it. I love when Mariah does these type of songs. No other artist today record this type of music. (At least I don't think they do?) I'm not very religious, but I just have a thing for gospel songs. And Mariah always does a great job. Someone needs to tell her to do a whole gospel album. It's good to know that other fans want the same thing. (Monday 4 August 2014; 1:13)

(45,778) by Brad Catoe from United States But I agree not worth the wait. I didn't even watch the whole performance. What's the point? I could play iTunes lol. Anyways she better not be lipping when she tours this time. The would not be cool. One of the best concerts I have ever been to was Angel's Advocate in Vegas. Her voice was amazing, but it still pissed me off that she lipped Angels Cry. Her voice was in such stellar condition, why lip? I know it's normal for performances to be lipped in Europe, but it's always disappointing. I know Mariah can still sing live, but maybe it's more difficult for her to be in goof voice these days? That could make touring difficult. (Monday 4 August 2014; 0:47)

Mariah and her lately "glued shoes" (45,777) by May from Denmark First gonna kick in with my two fav remixes, those got to be My All/Stay A While and I Still Believe feat. Bone and Da Brat. Those two never get old and I never get tired of listening to. They are awesome. About the performance of Meteorite - my fav song from her latest album because I love the house vibe - I'm actually more disappointed with the fact that Mariah' shoes keep being glued on the stage rather than more disappointed by the less than half true singing. The dress was lavish, super fabulous, I totally loved the way she looked. I keep having this issue with her performances the last years, she hardly moves at all. All she does is stand in front of the mic. I remember one of the things that made me love her so much was that incredible energy on the stage, always coming and going, always looking strong and powerful. I don't know what's going on, are her 10 inches platform shoes more important now? She walked (with help) from one mic to another mic and that was it. I loved seeing her but I was expecting more, overall with such a song. I enjoyed near the ending. (Monday 4 August 2014; 0:42)

Meteorite at WMA (45,776) by JC from UK Am I the only one who thought the wait was not worth it? I mean I thought she would've sang atleast 50% of the song live because it's a bit of an odd song to sing with all the effects and whatnot but it seemed like she only sang like 10 words in total. It was the usual performance, she added a couple of whistles in there to make it different to make non-fans alike think that it's live but, meh. Also, I do hope MC makes a stop in UK on her upcoming tour. I'm sure she will since she's said a bunch of times how she loves it here. (Sunday 3 August 2014; 23:38)

My fantasy Mariah covers (45,775) by Abraham from USA I thought I'd share some of the songs I'd wish Mariah would cover. Either now, or maybe back in her prime. I hope some of you know and like some of these songs? My favorite cover by Mariah is "Open arms". 1) Dq "I do love you" 2) Bobby Caldwell "What you won't do for love" 3) Whitney Houston "You give good love to me" or "Take good care of my heart" 4) George Benson "Never give up on a good thing" 5) Stevie Wonder "Overjoyed" 6) The Carpenters "(They long to be) Close to you" 7) Michael Jackson "You are not alone" 8) Patti Labelle "If only you knew" 9) The supremes "Love is here and now you're gone" 10) Billy Porter "Love is on the way" or "Preferably back in '97 or '98" (Sunday 3 August 2014; 23:06)

Abraham (45,774) by Dove from USA George Michael or Stevie Wonder would be good because they're right up there with her in talent. I don't know many songs by the other artists you listed outside of their hits. I thought the same thing when that R Kelly song came out, that Mariah would have sounded better than Celine. (Sunday 3 August 2014; 23:00)

Divorce (45,773) by Ken from USA I really hope they don't divorce. I saw that when Nick was asked about it he responded with "no comment". This makes me very nervous. Although it did say he "reportedly" said that. (Sunday 3 August 2014; 22:48)

Gospel album (45,772) by B from USA I hope she does. Fly Like A Bird and I Wish You Well are Gospel lite. If she does do it I hope she includes covers of traditional hymns along with original material. Great topic for a Sunday. (Sunday 3 August 2014; 22:29)

The World Music Awards (45,771) by PJW from The U.K. Have just started on U.K. T.V. and as we know, Mariah opened the ceremony with Meteorite. With the occasional moment of singing over the track it was a mimed performance of the album version. The track was turned off at the end so she could sing the last note and a whistle note which was pretty raspy. She barely moved, with the exception of the usual dancer helping her down the step to the front of the stage where she put the mic back into its stand. Underwhelming all round. She did look lovely though and her size didn't matter, the dress looked nice and she was, as ever, more decorated than a Christmas tree. Her awards were presented by J.D. who struggled to find words and, to be honest, looked like he'd rather be elsewhere. Again, she looked gorgeous in the mesh dress, irrelivent of her size, and sung a tiny bit of "Dedicated". I'm sure you'll all see this online soon anyway. (Sunday 3 August 2014; 20:30)

Best (45,770) by B from USA Mariah's best covers are Without You and I Still Believe. Not to mention the countless samples and interpolations she's done. The only misstep in her entire career was sampling Cameo's Candy for Loverboy. (Sunday 3 August 2014; 20:13)

mimilamb (45,769) by TJ from Norway I don't know the set list. I don't think I said so either. What I said was that I hope for something new to her concerts, because it has been quite the same over the years. I miss songs from Glitter, and other songs from her catalog. Why so aggressive? (Sunday 3 August 2014; 18:02)

Tour (45,768) by Bill from the UK All this news of the tour is exciting, and seeing the dream set list a few posts ago, I've realised it's near on impossible to compile a set list of a realistic concert length. I love all of her songs so much, I'd be happy with whatever she chose to sing. How can you condense 25 glorious years into an hour and a half? I know she usually only sings it in season, but I'd love for every concert to end with AIWFCIY. Globally, it's her most loved and known song. It was inspired when she sang it in Tokyo in the middle of summer. Everyone would end their evening on a high. (Sunday 3 August 2014; 14:51)

MC concert in Singapore on October 24 (45,767) by PieterLamb from Indonesia Hey lambs, just wondering, does any of you will see her concert in Singapore? Let's keep in touch and together we make her concert in Singapore be the unforgettable concert ever. (Sunday 3 August 2014; 14:23)
