Re: American Idol performance (98,459) (98,462) by Edward from USA It's not necessarily her approach, production works that way fior them to have different takes from different angles. I was fortunate have been there when "With You I'm Born Again" was taped, it was sung twice, and then production pieced together the performance from different angles, of course they used the best audio, so it could seem she's lipping when she's not. It was a great peformance, kind of magical. They also picked those of us whom they considered were better dressed and pleasing to the camera and put them on the first three rows. Of course they didn't tell us that, but that's the way it works. The same happened when she entered the stage for "It's Like That". (Thursday 29 July 2021; 22:45)

Re: American Idol performance (98,459) (98,461) by Bill from the UK The biggest tell for the Late Night WBT remix is her headphone wire switches from side to side throughout the video. Whoever was in charge of continuity should have got sacked lol. (Wednesday 28 July 2021; 12:35)

Re: Albums ranked by heavy rotation (98,456) (98,460) by Bill from the UK I'm so here for this. Rather than by rotation (I play the CDs/vinyl rather than stream as it sounds better), I'll just do my ranking: 0. Daydream tour London (I was an attendee) 1. MTV Unplugged EP 2. Merry Christmas 3. Emotions 4. Mariah Carey 5. Daydream 6. Music Box 7. Butterfly 8. Glitter 9. Emancipation 10. Rainbow 11. Charmbracelet 12. Caution 13. Me I Am Mariah 14. E=MC2 15. Memoirs 16. Merry Christmas II You (Wednesday 28 July 2021; 12:30)

Re: American Idol performance (98,390) (98,459) by JC from USA This is the same approach she takes with many "live" performances. Record a few times and piece together. They did this with "Born again" with John Legend and the late night WBT, for example. If you look closely, you can spot inconsistencies re: where her hair is placed. That said, she often uses backing tracks for select climaxes. Loved the American Idol medley. Sounded and looked great. Her whole style during that time was sophisticated glam.

Re: Twitter Spaces audio link (98,451) (98,458) by JC from USA What is with all the hate on Caution these days? I still listen to and love it. A great "mood" album with a consistent theme. And also, her most critically-acclaimed studio album since Emancipation. I used to love having my friends over, setting my lights to purple, and having splashed. (Wednesday 28 July 2021; 07:31)

Re: Twitter Spaces audio link (98,453) (98,457) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Although I would prefer Maroon 5 over Jo Bros but chances of Jo Bros would be higher simply based on their relation with Mariah. Mariah is close with Nick, they have multiple photos together and Nick surprised his wife with tickets to Mariah's concert (she's a big fan of hers and Mariah seems to like her too). She also sent her book to Joe and Sophie and Sophie always fan girls over Mariah. (Wednesday 28 July 2021; 04:05)

Albums ranked by heavy rotation (98,456) by Nicky from Jasmine's Sofa It's hard for me to rank these albums from favorite to least favorite because they are all so different and I go through phases with how often I listen to them. Butterfly is my all-time favorite, but I played it out years ago so I rarely ever listen to it these days. This list is in order from heavy to light rotation, for 2021: 1. Caution 2. Charmbracelet 3. E=MC2 4. Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel 5. The Emancipation of Mimi 6. Rainbow 7. Glitter 8. Butterfly 9. Me, I Am Mariah The Elusive Chanteuse 10. Mariah Carey 11. Daydream 12. Emotions 13. Music Box 14. Merry Christmas 2 You 15. Merry Christmas (Wednesday 28 July 2021; 02:33)

Re: Twitter Spaces audio link (98,451) (98,455) by Nicky from Jasmine's Sofa Wow, least favorite? That hurts. I think it's time for an album ranking list. (Wednesday 28 July 2021; 02:09)

An experiement? (98,454) by Edward from USA I enjoyed Caution very much, but I've always said it was lacking vocally. I don't care if it was critical acclaimed, but everybody expected at least a power ballad or something. If she couldn't do it in the studio, I would understand, but at this point, people don't care. She should give us her remaining fans those songs and power ballads that got us under her spell. She can then lip the difficult parts in concert, it's not like she hasn't been doing that for years now. "Portrait" is a favorite of mine, but even though she didn't attempt at doing anything impressive vocally on it, one could hear her voice wasn't in a good place. Strangely, I didn't hate the album, I played the hell out of it. As for "Where Are You Christmas", she didn't get to record it in the 90's, so trying it now wouldn't top Faith Hill's. I think she should leave it at that. (Tuesday 27 July 2021; 23:08)

Re: Twitter Spaces audio link (98,443) (98,453) by Norman from USA My crazy mind came up The Jonas Brothers when I first heard about this. I know how absurd that sounds, but it's what popped into my head. Maroon 5 would be cool but I doubt she would collaborate with them. She should, though. Maroon 5 is very consistent on the charts. She didn't really seem to connect with the guys during her appearance on The Voice. She wouldn't stop going on about Kelly or Jennifer, however. (Tuesday 27 July 2021; 22:50)

Re: Twitter Spaces audio link (98,445) (98,452) by SM from Citizen of the World I think she had a lot going on behind the scenes with her label. She said Caution was rushed, we know she doesn't like to be rushed with an album and maybe she's sitting on some hit material she might have wanted for Caution but is saving it for when she is in a good place with a company. No one will ever know the % she makes from the album so that could be another factor why. I mean who knows but I'm sure she knows the album is not her best and she has so much more to offer. (Tuesday 27 July 2021; 02:54)

Re: Twitter Spaces audio link (98,445) (98,451) by Bobby A from United States Bill, I have to agree with Mimi that it wasn't her best vocally. She sounds dry and tired on most of the songs. Plus, it really didn't have any authentic album moments like the Fly Away or Daydream interludes. The big ballads were missing also. Caution is my least favorite Mariah Carey albums. I rather listen to Music Box. At least every track paved the way for the huge ballad finale of All I've Ever Wanted. That is what Caution is missing. (Tuesday 27 July 2021; 02:38)

Re: Twitter Spaces audio link (98,446) (98,450) by Bobby A from United States Well, they have been releasing some really hot Pop/R&B songs lately. I really think she could vibe and cook up something hot in the studio with nine guys. Adam's and Mimi's voice would blend perfectly together with some cool harmonies. She is really thinking about having some Pop exposure on the charts again. I am excited about what she comes up with. No Thiller predictions this time. Lol. (Tuesday 27 July 2021; 02:26)

Re: Twitter Spaces audio link (98,447) (98,449) by SM from Citizen of the World That's a fact. (Tuesday 27 July 2021; 01:58)

Re: Twitter Spaces audio link (98,444) (98,448) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Maroon 5 would be interesting as well. I really wish Mariah would do more high profile collaborations outside of Christmas. She needs to feature better artists and not Stefflon Don and Shawni. I never heard of them before Mariah. I know she likes giving people a platform but I miss Mariah's high profile collaborations like she used to do. (Tuesday 27 July 2021; 01:47)

Re: Twitter Spaces audio link (98,445) (98,447) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter If Caution was released by Ariana or Rihanna it would be topping charts just because the label would go all out promoting it. (Tuesday 27 July 2021; 01:44)

Re: Twitter Spaces audio link (98,444) (98,446) by SM from Citizen of the World What makes you say Maroon 5? I would love to hear them with Mariah. (Tuesday 27 July 2021; 01:11)

Re: Twitter Spaces audio link (98,444) (98,445) by Bill from the UK Lol. It's odd that MC seems to have issues with Caution. Critically it was lauded and it's one of her most concise, succinct and snappy albums she's ever done. I still love it. (Monday 26 July 2021; 23:41)

Re: Twitter Spaces audio link (98,443) (98,444) by Bobby A from United States Now that would be an interesting collaboration. MC loves being the first to collaborate with an artist or group. She probably has been looking at their chart history as they continue break records on Billboard and Spotify. Or it could be Maroon 5. Lambs, I feel we are in for some festive Christmas gifts and some hot tamale MC16 music. Caution must have really made MC question WTF was I thinking in 2018. Lol. She has not been this focused on creating new music since TEOM. (Monday 26 July 2021; 20:57)

Re: Twitter Spaces audio link (98,438) (98,443) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I think she also mentioned she's collaborating with a "group". A lot of people think it's BTS. (Monday 26 July 2021; 18:09)

Pure love (Eternally) (98,442) by Bill from the UK This fan made mash up is really worth listening to. (Sunday 25 July 2021; 22:43)

Re: Mariah's World (98,434) (98,441) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Hahah it’s so cute that she loves this disaster of a show. I hope you can get her set up with the VHS. If she ever finishes the show I want episode by episode reactions haha. (Sunday 25 July 2021; 22:18)

Re: Twitter Spaces (98,439) (98,440) by Mara from United States Thanks Shezz. Maybe one day it will circulate. (Sunday 25 July 2021; 21:54)

Re: Twitter Spaces (98,437) (98,439) by Shezz from Pk Coincidentally she was asked if she will release her version of "Where are you Christmas" - she said she was thinking about it but this other song she wrote is even better. Hinted that it's more of a ballad and nothing like AIWFC. She was also asked if she would cover Santa Baby ever. She said another artist already has (Madonna) and she doesn't plan to. (Sunday 25 July 2021; 09:50)

Twitter Spaces audio link (98,438) by Shezz from Pk Here is the link of the interesting session. For people not in the mood to listen to the entire audio: 1. Seems like a Brandy collab is in the works. They are in touch. 2. She's in love with her new Christmas song that she's created with Daniel Moore and is looking for a young male RnB vocalist for it - someone suggested Bruno Mars but she shut that down and said Christmas isn't his thing. 3. She has found her recordings of Someone's Ugly Daughter and has plans for it that she can't reveal. 4. She's really immersed in her studio recording and writing process these days and wants to release some behind the scenes or making of. She was still a little vague and unclear about MC16, whether the Christmas stuff is a separate project or what. She's working on several things simultaneously. 5. Asked if people would be down for a collab with someone like Post Malone (hell yes). 6. Whatever music she's working on is so important to her that she thinks she wouldn't even care if she's not on its cover. 7. She has plans to release a lot of things that her label (presumably) isn't for and has a lot of opinions about but she wants none if their input and is happy to self finance it to put it out for the lambs.
