Re: Global Citizen - Welcome back MC (101,314) (101,319) by Jamie from UK Yes she was good. I just wish she wouldn't ramble so much when she's talking. She jumps from one thing to another. It's probably a lack of confidence, it's like she has to say something else in the middle of a sentence to justify what she's saying, like she's talking to herself in her own head. If you watch the unplugged sessions she's very calm and collected when she speaks, I wish she would learn from these early performances how to command herself on stage as she had great presence. But otherwise a great vocal performance and great to see her back on stage again. (Sunday 25 September 2022; 16:57)

Re: Missed opportunity (101,317) (101,318) by Chris from United States Wow Todd, you just said what I've been thinking. Not sure if you're just joking or not, but I've wanted her to do a cover of "Nothing Else Matters" for the longest time. This song fits her lyrically and just the way the song is structured and produced makes so much sense. Oh well, a boy can dream. (Sunday 25 September 2022; 16:37)

Missed opportunity (101,317) by Todd from Melbourne, Australia Complete missed opportunity for a Mimi Metallica "Nothing Else Matters" duet. (Sunday 25 September 2022; 14:24)

Global Citizens (101,316) by Can Tavukcu from Germany It wasn't perfect but it was good. I am quite proud of MC. I loved [We belong together]. (Sunday 25 September 2022; 10:20)

Mariah is back (101,315) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway Wow, I really enjoyed her Global Citizen performance, and I actually think she sang mostly live, even the end of WBT. Her voice is in really good shape and she looked happy and confident. Keep it up Mariah. (Sunday 25 September 2022; 08:26)

Re: Global Citizen - Welcome back MC (101,311) (101,314) by Bobby A from United States I loved the performance. The Honey/Heartbreaker mash-up was her best mash-up yet. We Belong Together and Hero had some great vocals. I loved the WBT intro to the remix with Jadakiss and Styles P. I can tell her voice is 80% back because she didn't say "Hey" five different times at the end of a note and plus no forced notes. Just smooth and fluid notes throughout the whole performance. I just wished MC would stop mentioning about the damn lighting with every live performance. People really don't care about how MC looks without the correct lighting. I thought she looked beautiful in every perfect way. Great job, MC. (Sunday 25 September 2022; 06:22)

Mariah sounds great - Global Citizen (101,313) by Mohd Syafali Izwan from Malaysia Overall Mariah sounds great on her performance at Global Citizen event. Her tone is like a Rainbow era. Welcome back Mariah. (Sunday 25 September 2022; 05:48)

Piano intro We Belong Together - Global Citizen (101,312) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia That's how Mariah should be doing more often. Just sing with a piano or acoustic guitar. She doesn't have to sing like the record, just rearrange the song into acoustic/piano version and keep it simple. (Sunday 25 September 2022; 05:35)

Global Citizen - Welcome back MC (101,311) by "MariahHater" from Hell Watched the reherasals and the live performance. You can really see the confidence she has. Key notes are her finger waves., if she does, she is live, if she is naughty or quirky on stage then its pre-recorded. (Sunday 25 September 2022; 02:40)

Re: Global Citizen (101,305) (101,310) by Bobby A from United States You can watch on these apps beginning at 4pm Eastern for 10 hours. I hope MC is one of the first performers to perform. 1. Global Citizen 2. Twitch 3. YouTube 4. Twitter In addition to the ABC 1 hour broadcast, FX will have a 2 hour broadcast. (Saturday 24 September 2022; 14:08)

Re: Bye Bye (101,306) (101,309) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia I always loved that song. My grandmother passed away in 2007. So when the song was released in 2008 I can relate to the lyrics "this is for my people who lost their grandmothers". In my mind that song is Mariah's 19th number one followed by #Beautiful, her 20th, and All I Want For Christmas For You, her 21st number one. She beat the Beatles' record for having the most number one singles. Hehe. (Saturday 24 September 2022; 13:55)

Re: Global Citizen (101,300) (101,308) by 123 from USA Here is a clip of her rehearsal. Spoiler alert as she did some interesting changes/mash up. Her voice sounds pretty good for as much as Mariah in 2022 can muster. Interested in watching the performance now. (Saturday 24 September 2022; 04:16)

Re: Global Citizen (101,297) (101,307) by Bobby A from United States I just saw this video of MC's rehearsals for the Global Citizen event. I predicted two out of the five songs that she will perform at the event. 1. Fantasy/BBE mash-up 2. Hero 3. Heartbreaker 4. We Belong Together 5. Obsessed (Saturday 24 September 2022; 04:11)

Bye Bye (101,306) by Randy from USA For the last time, as an executive assistant director specialist on this board, I am warning you all to stop talking about Bye Bye. I think it was a great single choice. I love the electronic bobbles and tidbits that Stargate used in the background. And MC's vocal adlib on that final chorus is . I still scream it to the top of my lungs every time I hear the song even though my whistle sounds like a tea kettle. I never knew it. Every day of my life I wish. I wish. I wish. I wish. As time goes by. If you all continue talkin bad about Bye Bye, I am going to revoke your right to use air quotes and dahling. I freaking love that song. (Saturday 24 September 2022; 03:19)

Re: Global Citizen (101,303) (101,305) by Shezz from Pk There's footage of her rehearsing Fantasy (BER), Obsessed, Honey, Heartbreaker remix and closing with Hero at Central Park today. (Saturday 24 September 2022; 03:05)

Re: I Stay In Love (101,298) (101,304) by 123 from USA I love this song. It's my favorite from the album and should have been the second single instead the trite Bye Bye. Bye Bye hit #20 solely based on the success of TMB. Had she released I Stay In Love as the second single while she was still doing promotion before she disappeared after her wedding it would have went number #1. I know people on this board hate it and call it a WBT clone, but every non lamb I play it for loves it and asks what album it's from and why she didn't release it. The label halfheartedly threw it out there during the fall with one performance and no radio adds or budget. Such a shame. That album was full of radio friendly songs that went to waste.

Re: Global Citizen (101,300) (101,303) by Mara from United States She really should put Fly Away in her performance somewhere. Would be an amazing opener coinciding with the anniversary of Butterfly. (Friday 23 September 2022; 18:08)

Re: Global Citizen (101,299) (101,302) by Mara from United States Steven, that would be an amazing treat! (Friday 23 September 2022; 18:07)

Weird (101,301) by Edward from USA Isn't it weird that Mariah used all the material from the Butterfly sessions? It's like like she knew all these tracks would end up on the final product from their conception. Most artists usually record over 30 songs and then pick the better ones. Butterfly is truly a special album. (Friday 23 September 2022; 17:45)

Re: Global Citizen (101,293) (101,300) by Anonymous from United States Songs she should not perform: 1. Shake it Off 2. Touch My Body 3. Obsessed 4. I Know What You Want Songs I'd like her to perform: 1. Fly Away (Butterfly Reprise) 2. Honey 3. Make it Happen 4. Vision of Love (Friday 23 September 2022; 15:23)

Re: Global Citizen (101,293) (101,299) by Steven Berning from USA She might just surprise us and do a Butterfly heavy setist, even though the setist will be short. (Friday 23 September 2022; 07:15)

I Stay In Love (101,298) by jaker20 from US This is such a beautiful song. Mariah should license this to a show or a movie soundtrack and give it a second life because it deserves to be heard again. In fact, there's a lot of really great songs in this album! (Thursday 22 September 2022; 23:53)

Re: Global Citizen (101,294) (101,297) by Bobby A from United States I am thinking: Fantasy Honey We Belong Together The Distance (Thursday 22 September 2022; 22:50)

Re: Global Citizen (101,294) (101,296) by Natrium from Austria I had the same thought! But I am sure she will serve us both looks and vocals! Her tone improved tremendously thanks to the quarantine. (Thursday 22 September 2022; 22:12)

Re: Little Mermaid - Halle Bailey (101,286) (101,295) by Terna from Nigeria I have no doubt, it is a Gospel record, which is always what I have wanted Mariah to do, with songs like "Vision of Love", "My Saving Grace" and "Fly Like a Bird", I would definitely be here for her own versions of Gospel classic covers and also more original Gospel songs. The Clark Sisters collaboration points in that direction. (Thursday 22 September 2022; 21:24)
