Never sung in her life (104,167) by Shezz from Pk Yes she has newly recorded vocals for some of the songs she was singing live previously including [Joy to the world] and [All I want for Christmas] intros. Now that a handful of shows are done you can see they're identically phrased and sung. Funny thing is that whenever she is actually singing live she sounds pretty good so I don't know why she needed to but what are you gonna do? It is what it is. People are really enjoying her shows and can't really tell or don't really care. I feel it's akin to people believing in Santa Claus. It makes people happy - let them. Why must we keep pointing things out and ruining it for the ones who enjoy it? (Thursday 23 November 2023; 03:36) this is a reply to message 104,163

Never sung in her life (104,163) by Bill from the UK She's a singer Matty, so she should sing. It's not hard. (Wednesday 22 November 2023; 08:12)

I don´t understand (104,165) by Zachariah from Croatia But isn't she doing very well with live performances now? From what I can hear from her Christmas tour, vocals are on point. More than that. And yes, I am one of those who will say "yass queen" because it is exactly that, yass. Queen. Being 33 years in the industry and her career behind her - there is literally nothing from her to bring us down. Only positivity and music to focus on forward. I am blessed that I enjoy and 90's and Mariah after 2001. Even more after 2001. I am proud to be her fan. And always will be. (Wednesday 22 November 2023; 23:51)

Never sung in her life (104,164) by Norman from USA I believe his point is that you guys regurtitate the same complaints every other week and think you're going to change something. It's been how long since Daydream? And you all swear you're the only ones who like her because you tear her to shreds. And, no, asking a singer to sing isn't a big ask, but expecting 1995 or 2000s vocals isn't going to happen no matter the critique. Being at the Hollywood Bowl nights was such a great experience as a fan because it packed with people who were there to have fun and enjoy the show. And enjoy it we did. It was a blast to interact with people who had never seen in concert and enjoyed what was offered and how it was it offered. The energy when she did a medly of part of her catalog was at fever pitch. It was heartening. And as people left, you could hear everyone discussing her voice and how well she did and wishing more of this from her. Having a discussion about the status of her current voice is one thing, and she's not above reproach, but enough with same critical drag and calling it love. No need to gaslight. We've read them for years and know abusive language when we read it. It's okay to only like her 90s stuff and nothing past that. Admit it and move on - you'll all be happier. But no need to constantly bash every effing move and call it constructive when all it is, is tearing things down. Oh, and before anyone comes out with pejorative "yass queen" rebuttal, no one is asking for you to be that. No one. You can have fun on the board without punching down. It's reductive. Now, joy to the effing world or whatever. We mostly love everyone. (Wednesday 22 November 2023; 21:39) this is a reply to message 104,163

Never sung in her life (104,158) by Matty from Vancouver Canada Ok critical lambs, you've exposed it. Mariah has never sung in her life. She's a studio creation. She can't sing, she's never performed live, the only Mariah that was real was 1993-1995. Adele, Celine, Ariana, Beyoncé never ever lip. . I've gotta ask (especially the "I wish Mariah was frozen in 1993" from the UK commenters), why can't you just enjoy Mimi's magic and success? I get we all have our favourite "Mariah moments", but all those with the opinionated stance that nothing beats Mariah between Music Box and Daydream is tired. Mariah's best, most emotive moments are post Charmbracelet. (Tuesday 21 November 2023; 21:54)

Reality check (104,162) by Nick G from Germany Next year she has her big comeback on Drag Race as a candidate. She will outdo everyone else at sipsync and can swap wigs with other drags. (Wednesday 22 November 2023; 05:22) this is a reply to message 104,150

Reality check (104,150) by Brandon from USA Old school MC fans from the 90's know a lip synced performance when we see one and it was definitely prerecorded which is the norm for her these days. Her nerves along with the inconsistency of her voice has has caused her to lean on prerecorded vocal tracks. I just want more movement from her if she's going lip sync.

Christmas songs (early bird special) (104,161) by Tevin from USA Dear John, Back to December and Enchanted are three beautiful songs from Taylor's album Speak Now. Give them a listen. It's no Butterfly album but she does have a decent pen game, even if it slightly sub par to Mariah's. Anyway let me know how you like those three songs, they are what made me a Taylor fan.

Christmas songs (early bird special) (104,156) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, Taylor Swift seems very relatable. I only know "Shake it off" and her debut country album. Lol I had friends from Texas, they told me to give the album a try when it came out. Back then I never thought Taylor Swift would be the biggest female pop star chartwise in 2023.

Justice for Can't Let Go (104,160) by Brad from USA Is any one else still pissed off this song didn't go to #1? I am. Ok bye. If we could get this song to #1 on iTunes Mariah would flip out because she knows this should have been a #1. I recall all those weeks waiting and waiting for it to pop from #2 to #1. Don't ever forget how frigging flawless that video was too. She looked so beautiful in that. (Wednesday 22 November 2023; 03:36)

Never sung in her life (104,159) by Bobby A from United States MC is a survivor. I was thinking today that the music business is a cruel industry whereas only a few artists have careers after their sophomore album. MC surpassed all of that and made it to 32 years in the music business. I am going to show more understanding and compassion with my comments from this day forward.

Christmas songs (early bird special) (104,155) by Edward from USA As much as I hate to say it, Taylor Swift's songs don't just chart one week and out the other, she has a massive fanbase. In some places they're camping outside Arenas six months in advance just to be closer to the stage. She's definitely had the Midas touch for quite sometime now. I don't know the lyrics to any of her songs. I tried listening to her last album but I didn't feel a connection. I wish her well though. Her relatable persona definitely helps her a lot. The woman is the biggest thing right now yet she doesn't acts as if she believes her own hype. (Tuesday 21 November 2023; 18:31)

Christmas songs (early bird special) (104,154) by jaker20 from US 20 songs in the chart, and then disappear the following week. Mariah should do something big next year during the album's 30th anniversary and have every song chart. Anyway, Brenda could take it this year. Mariah will probably do something big next year, so if she gets a couple of weeks this year, she'll probably take the record back next year. But she should do a good festive video every 2 years anyway, since that is all she is doing now. (Tuesday 21 November 2023; 17:49)

Christmas songs (early bird special) (104,149) by Edward from USA Only four Christmas songs re-entered the Hot 100 this week. 17. All I Want for Christmas Is You 32. Las Christmas 38. Jingle Bell Rock 44. A Holly Jolly Christmas If there's a possibility for any song other AIWFCIY to hit No. 1 this year, in my opinion, that would be Last Christmas. I'm tired of seeing Taylor Swift with 20 songs on the top 10. (Tuesday 21 November 2023; 13:56)

Tour outfits (104,153) by jaker20 from US I do like that head crown but Beyonce and a few other artists already did it so it has less of an impact. It should have been like halo stars instead so it's slightly different. Mariah needs to find something that is unique to her since she is doing this every year. (Tuesday 21 November 2023; 17:37)

Christmas songs (early bird special) (104,152) by Edward from USA I guess you're right, but the fact these songs have re-entered the chart so early tells you their numbers will be far ahead than the rest of them. I thought Brenda's "Sitting on My Rocking Chair" would be at least in the top 100. (Tuesday 21 November 2023; 17:31) this is a reply to message 104,151

Reality check (104,147) by Bill from the UK I hate to be the one to spoil the party, but the Billboard performance wasn't 100% live, or even 50% live. Or even 25%. She was lipping to the Extra Festive version and had pre-recorded parts kick in at the beginning and the end. It's the same as every other "live performance" she's done in the last 10 years. Bah humbug. (Tuesday 21 November 2023; 08:39)

Performance (104,148) by Jamie from UK Well said Ed. How many singers are no longer here because too many yes people around them? Part of being human is being able to take criticism so you can grow and continue to live a positive life. Being famous is even harder as [you're] living in a completely different world and it's more important to remember who you are and to be able to take criticism.

Mariah is a musical genius, she should be held to higher standards. I'm glad she probably reading this board since she seems to be doing some of things recommended here.

Performance (104,146) by Brandon from USA I don't think asking a singer to sing and work on stage presence is being negative. Us diehard fans knows what she is capable of (Daydream tour, Butterfly tour, Charmbracelet tour, etc). Everyone is entitled to an off day but it's a problem when it happens frequently. We have a right to be concerned and ask questions. (Tuesday 21 November 2023; 04:53) this is a reply to message 104,142
