Emotions was perfect (37,033) by Carol from Spain Mariah didn't deliver the high notes on Emotions. Are these people listening to the same thing as I am? I think the videos they are seeing are just forged to make her sound bad. She hit all the notes perfectly, never mind the critics. Now they say she didn't hit the notes on Emotions. Why bother reading the reviews these days. She was flawless and some people just can't take this level of perfection, because these days people are just used to bad singing.

She didn't deliver? Really? Shake it off, critics, shake it off (37,030) by Carol from Spain Haters gonna hate and that is the honest truth. How can someone write that Mariah didn't deliver in Sidney? Are they deaf? If Mariah doesn't deliver in Sidney, can someone tell me who delievers than? Honestly?She did not deliver, she slayed Sidney and gave a new meaning to the word "singer". (Friday 4 January 2013; 20:47)

Amazing Sydney show (37,029) by Maxon from Australia So excited to be in Sydney concert last night. It was absolutely amazing. It's almost 17 years since I became a Mariah fan and my dream finally came true. Love you Mariah, forever. (Friday 4 January 2013; 12:03)

Can't Let Go/Love Takes Time Austrialia (37,028) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Mariah sounded incredible. It seems obvious to me she has had proper vocal rest. I was so excited and happy to hear Can't Let Go and Love Takes Time. Happy New Year everyone. (Friday 4 January 2013; 4:48)

MC in Australia (37,027) by Nick from Canada Wow, there were glimpses of her old voice in some of these clips. It just confirms what I've been saying for a while: she has not lost her voice. It has changed, and it certainly has more limitations than before, but she can still do so much and it sounds beautiful. I loved hearing some of the older stuff. Very nostalgic indeed.

Mariah sounds fantastic (37,025) by RibbonB from USA I'm loving MC's voice and all the clear audio video's online. Even dem babies were fantastic. I just melted seeing them on stage and Roe's deep voice. She is surely a diva in the making. Roc was hilarious standing there, like he had something on his mind, but couldn't gather the words. Lol. Either that, or he was like that dude put on the spot to sing on karaoke night and just couldn't do it. So adorable. (Friday 4 January 2013; 3:12)

Mariah in Australia (37,024) by Licinio Lisboa from Australia Wow. Mariah was great in Sydney. I love her impromptu singing performances in between songs. She is just so talented and her voice was so great. (Friday 4 January 2013; 1:34)

Can't Let Go/Love Takes Time medley (37,023) by Ryan from the Philippines Nostalgic. Lovely. (Thursday 3 January 2013; 17:36)

Mariah can do no wrong (37,022) by Carol from Spain I've seen videos of our queen in Sidney and iImust say I love you even more Mariah, because you are the definition of vocal perfection. Who cares if she screws up sometimes? She proves with these shows that she can do better than any new artist out there without striping onstage or being obscene. Maybe she should do a dvd of this mini tour. (Thursday 3 January 2013; 17:10)

Mariah was amazing (37,021) by Tony Sciacchitano from Australia I just left the best concert of my life. Mariah was perfect. However in my last couple of posts here I was saying how bad Aussie media is and they did not prove me wrong, saying she left the stage for "breaks". Last time I checked they were called "costume changes". I must be getting old and not understanding the new hip lingo of today's generation. And she was never short of breath. She didn't sing the songs that could have left her breathless. But who cares? I loved it, my friends and family that went loved it. And that's all that matters. (Thursday 3 January 2013; 15:58)

Gold Coast (37,020) by Ryan from the Philippines Her voice was on point, not perfect on all songs, but she nailed it. Plus I love the stage. The best since TAOM tour. I'm excited to see new clips on her second concert tonight. I hope the voice gets even better. (Thursday 3 January 2013; 9:28)

Mariah Australia (37,019) by Scott from USA Wow. She sounds great in the videos I've heard on YouTube. Lucky Australians. I saw her in Morocco, she was fantastic, but I think she sounds better in these Brisbane performances. I like the set list that she's chosen which I read about in an article. Have to say, I did notice her voice doing that split thing during Don't Forget About Us. You can hear some whistle notes coming out while she's trying to belt. Such a strange thing really (Thursday 3 January 2013; 1:24)

Digital Spy article and video (37,018) by Randy from USA My ex posted it on my facebook. It shows MC adlibbing and entertaining the audience while they fix her ear piece. She sounds amazing. And if you've read my posts over the years, I am very critical of her live performances. Especially when she lips. The voice sounds amazing and I hope and pray she is able to hold onto it during her promotional tour for the new album. (Wednesday 2 January 2013; 19:24)

Australia performance (37,017) by Licia from USA Oh how I wish I had been in Australia lol. She sounded really good from the videos that I saw. I hope she sounds just as good on the next two shows. As another member has said before, her performances from the last few years have not always been consistent and although I don't expect her to be perfect all the time, I would like her to be able to blow out these last two performances to shut some people up. The kids are uber cute and that Monroe is going to be something else. She was not afraid to speak. Lol. Congrats on the 15 years MCA. Keep up the good work. (Wednesday 2 January 2013; 15:10)

"I'll Be There" (live) (37,016) by Billy from Greece Oh my. Oh my. Oh my. That left me speechless. I've said it before, I'll say it again: Mariah always comes up with new techniques. There is always something I haven't heard from her voice in every new (top) performance. A sidenote (not a negative one, by any means): Trey was awesome as always, but it was the first time I thought his voice sounded "different" (a little deeper) than usual. Awesome, just awesome. (Wednesday 2 January 2013; 10:54)

CTTA (Remix) (live) (37,015) by Billy from Greece Hell yeah. Oh yeah. Now that was something I never expected to hear live and oh my, she did it. Oh yes. (Wednesday 2 January 2013; 10:47)

Yes, she is in the house and brought it down (37,014) by Carol from Spain Yes Sirs and Madams, she delievered, she came with a full baggage of clothing and sparkle and actual talent. I'm so jealous of Aussie fans, but so proud of Mrs Mariah Carey Cannon for being the awsome singer, consumated songwritter and producer, actually talented person that she is. And yes, she is the only diva, the only one who can carry the title, because she is not just a girl with a hit record, she is a singer in the actual meaning of the word. Triumphant on the entrance and festive as she left. Be a lamb with pride, I know I am. I always have been proud. (Wednesday 2 January 2013; 5:31)

Happy New Year- viva MCArchives, 15 years, wow (37,013) by Edward from USA Happy New Year to everyone. I hope you all have a wonderful 2013. Thanks again Eric for keeping this site up and running for so long. I was one of the fortunate ones to have found this site almost from the moment it came online. I think this is the best Mariah site ever because to me Eric is not a blind fan, he post the news from different perspectives here, not only the positive ones. Other sites haven't had a wonderful messageboard. It's maybe crazy to some, but there hasn't been a day ever since this site came up I haven't come to read the messages. It's crazy to think MCArchives was up when Heartbreaker became a #1 hit. I remember coming from work late at night and reading the news. I jumped, yelled, cried, screamed. Those were the days. (Tuesday 1 January 2013; 23:52)

Happy New Year (37,012) by Stephen from London, United Kingdom Happy New Year all, and congratulations to Eric on keeping this site going for 15 years. I've been using this site since the early 2000s. It's still one of the best Mariah sites around. (Tuesday 1 January 2013; 22:07)

Congrats! / Happy New Year (37,011) by lashonda collins from usa Just wanted to say congrats on your 15 years with the Archives. Although I don't post messages as much as I did years ago, I have been coming here almost everyday for the entire fifteen years and I love this site. It's flantastsic dahling. (Tuesday 1 January 2013; 21:15)

Happy New Year to all of you around the world (37,010) by Zachary from Croatia I love you all and although we never met, I feel like you are my extended family. (Tuesday 1 January 2013; 11:47)

Foolish (37,009) by Anthony Early from Wales I feel like such a right fool, because as much as I love Mariah and always will, she always makes me grin like a fool whenever I see her. My boyfriend is mesmerised by me being mesmerised by her whenever she is on tv or the radio. And I must admit something. Every time I see her give an amazing performance on YouTube, I feel pride. Such immense pride. I know Mariah is not my mother or my sister or my best friend, but she feels part of me like a family member. Like part of my life story. And I cry when she is down and rejoice when she is up. I say this because I swell with pride each time I see the Jimmy Fallon performance, amongst many others. How must she feel being only one of a handful of living legends? So yes I feel a fool. But a happy fool who made he right choice. I love you Mariah and I love you all my friends. Happy New Year. (Saturday 29 December 2012; 23:22)

Minaj (37,008) by Lee from UK I have just been watching the Nicki Minaj fly on the wall documentary (not through choice) and caught her saying that Mariah "met her match this time". Has Mariah responded to this in any way? I know she spoke to Barbara Walters, but has Mariah made any other comment on this situation? Part of me wants her to have said something witty in return, but on the other hand I think it would better if Mariah waited until the live shows to lay in to her. I couldn't let it go if I was Mariah. (Saturday 29 December 2012; 11:32)

Gold Cost press release (37,007) by CDC from CA Lol. Who put together that press form introducing Mariah performing at one of the Australian venues? It's literally littered with shade. "Light years ahead of 'pop culture icon' Madonna"? Well that's more than enough to wake the sleeping dragons. (Friday 28 December 2012; 23:51)

Season's Greetings (37,006) by Stephen from London, United Kingdom Season's Greetings to all. I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. (Thursday 27 December 2012; 21:05)
