Messageboard

About Joe from United Kingdom: From the uk and been a Lamb ever since I can remember.

Mariah BET Awards performance (38,497) by Joe from United Kingdom I can literally predict the comments that will be coming into this message board in regards to Mariah's performance. Here we go again. (Monday 1 July 2013; 6:02)

#Beautiful, Jeezy remix (38,473) by Joe from United Kingdom I said I would await the rest of the remixes before being completely negative, unlike some people (no offence). I'm glad I did, because I'm actually liking this remix. I enjoyed jeezy's verse and Mariah's re-sung vocals. This is a much better effort then those previous remixes. (Sunday 30 June 2013; 1:44)

#Beautiful remixes (38,433) by Joe from United Kingdom I was gonna give Mariah the benefit of the doubt with the first remix, even though it didn't add anything new for me, it's pretty much what I expected. A rapper pasted on at the beginning of the track. But when I heard the Spanish version, I just laughed. I know remixes aren't the main focus, but I just wish more effort in terms of production was put in. The Triumphant remixes sounded very cut and paste to me and so do these two aswell. I await the rest of the remixes to see how they will turn out. I'm trying not to be to negative right now. (Friday 28 June 2013; 4:45)

Will.I.am / Mariah's voice (38,200) by Joe from United Kingdom Yes, Mariah's voice is not the same, but when people make statements like her voice is gone/shot, it's abit ridiculous. Mariah's voice then and even now is still unmatched because of her tone alone. Nobody can touch that. If you give a 20 year old a basic note or phrase to sing, Mariah will sound a lot better singing it, because her dynamics and tone are just one of a kind. I have to agree that maybe she should stop making her songs so hard to sing live. I actually like it when notes on the studio track are left more raw and raspy. It adds more feeling to the song for me. Will. Why is Mariah ever gonna wish she sounded like anyone else when she herself practically set the standard of what is a great female vocalist. Get real please. (Sunday 9 June 2013; 16:57)

Hot 97 performance / outfit (38,151) by Joe from United Kingdom Overall I enjoyed this performance. It was shaky in small parts and Miguel doesn't sing in the origional key (I still like his voice) most of the time. I think a stripped down acoustic or acapella performance would do the song more justice on a live front. Now Mariah looked great to me, I've become used to these sort of outfits and she looks good. I don't see why the media makes a fuss. It's not like she's 54, wearing tight purple leotards and doing strange yoga moves on stage/videos. I thought people would be used to it by now.

Favourite ballad (38,131) by Joe from United Kingdom Ok, how do I choose, because I have so many favourites. It varies, depending on my mood or what I feel like listening to. I love "Vanishing". Nobody has mentioned "And you don't remember", which is a song I like aswell. Just thinking about it, it's crazy how many good songs (ballads and non-ballads) she's sang and on top of that written aswell. I'm sure we can agree MC is a one of a kind artist. I cannot wait for even more amazing new songs. (Sunday 2 June 2013; 14:53)

Good news (38,100) by Joe from United Kingdom Loving the tweet from her team. #Beautiful #1 in 30+ countries so far. Mariah carey confirms world tour and says goodbye to Idol. Happy to hear this and even happier to hear about the world tour. Fingers crossed that she comes to the UK. (Friday 31 May 2013; 4:00)

Mariah on AI (38,053) by Joe from United Kingdom As much as I don't care for AI as a show, I am going to miss seeing Mariah each week, as that was the only reason I tuned in. I guess I'll just have to patiently wait for even more new music. No offence to anyone, but it would be completely pointless for her to address the lip syncing. I mean if nobody realises (AI excluded) then you don't need to say anything. A magician never reveals his/her secrets, although I have to agree that maybe she should be more confident in her current voice (which is still amazing) to perform fully live arrangements of the songs.

GMA performance / thank you's (38,038) by Joe from United Kingdom Well, it was funny, that's for sure. It was like a malfunction extravaganza. So many things were going on/wrong, but Mariah handled it as only Mariah would. The #Beautiful performance was not the best, the rehearsal was better, ABMB and WBT were an improvement. Vocally it's kinda what I expected from an early morning Mariah. Why were the songs starting while the host was still talking? Anyway, thank you to those who gave me a warm welcome to the messageboard. I appreciate you. (Saturday 25 May 2013; 17:06)

Lip sync, dubbing, bad editing (38,014) by Joe from United Kingdom I didn't think the AI performance was terrible. To people claiming she lip sync the entire performance, not true, to those saying she sang the entire thing live, also not true. As a die hard lamb I can tell what's lipped/live. She lip sync a couple notes here and there, this is nothing new. This is one of those rare times she got caught out and then when it was live the dubbing was just generally off. If she did a complete live/raw performance and sounded off on a couple notes, she'd be crucified by the media so she can't win either way. Just my thoughts on the subject. Now I'm just ready and looking forward to seeing Mariah at GMA. (Friday 24 May 2013; 3:35)

Joe UK, I'm new here (37,999) by Joe from United Kingdom Hello to all the lambs. I've been reading this message board for awhile now, I just didn't think to become a member or post anything. I don't know why. Anyway hi everybody, I'm new here. (Thursday 23 May 2013; 5:51)
