Re: Article: Mariah Carey delivers intimate "Always By My Baby" (93,445) (93,458) by amends from Germany Andrew, looking good on your new profile picture. That performance was beautiful and smart of them to cut the bridge to make room for the whistles to take center stage. (Monday 30 March 2020; 18:20)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey delivers intimate "Always By My Baby" (93,452) (93,457) by Tijl from Belgium Might it be because of the time slot they were given? All performances were rather short. (Monday 30 March 2020; 17:36)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey delivers intimate "Always By My Baby" (93,451) (93,456) by Bill from the UK Agree, great performance. This fuels my need for her to do an album of her songs re-worked and re-arranged acoustically or intimately to honour her 30th year. Scale then back and strip them of their sheen, because underneath all the fluff and samples are some amazingly melodious tunes. Kate Bush and Tori Amos did similar with their Director's Cut and Gold Dust albums respectively. (Monday 30 March 2020; 15:39)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey delivers intimate "Always By My Baby" (93,452) (93,455) by Licia from USA She did a good job. So much better than the He's Got The Whole World in His Hand video. I'm a little upset I slept through the whole concert, but thank God for YouTube. (Monday 30 March 2020; 15:27)

Re: So Cold (93,435) (93,454) by MusicfanJ from Germany "Listening to music from when we were those ages reminds us of those perfect, fragile, precious moments in time we can never go back to." So true, great post Andrew. That's why I choose Daydream too. It was a time you described so well. Daydream was the perfect soundtrack to my life back then, and it will always have a special place in my heart. Although I know those times won't come back, I do miss them. So I'll listen to Mariah's Daydream to escape at least for a while. (Monday 30 March 2020; 14:50)

ABMB (93,453) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) This song is an undeniable classic. Mariah was the reason to watch last night, and she freaking delivered on all fronts, cylinders. Bravo Mariah you were absolutely amazing. (Monday 30 March 2020; 14:23)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey delivers intimate "Always By My Baby" (93,451) (93,452) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway I was a bit disappointed with the performance because I was eager to hear the bridge of ABMB in such an intimate setting, but she just skipped it, proving she can't sing that part anymore. She sounded great thoug, before the bridge. (Monday 30 March 2020; 13:32)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey delivers intimate "Always By My Baby" (93,445) (93,451) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines It's further proof that Mariah performs better in more intimate settings where there aren't huge professional camera / production crews. I mean that has to be it. Other than that, there isn't a reason why she couldn't bring something like this to the stage in front of an audience. She sounded lovely and more importantly, sincere.

Article: Mariah Carey celebrates milestone 50th birthday (93,450) by Betty from Canada The cake says "anniversary". (Monday 30 March 2020; 12:58)

Re: iHeart Living Room concert (93,447) (93,449) by Tijl from Belgium I am sorry but I find Billie very overrated and her voice doesn't do anything to me. These performances show that once all the smoke and mirrors drop many of them really are studio artists. Alicia was okay but I only heard musicality in Mariah's performance. (Monday 30 March 2020; 12:44)

Article: Mariah Carey ranks her own songs (93,448) by Betty from Canada That first sentence of the before last paragraph is so wrong but the rest is great. (Monday 30 March 2020; 12:13)

Re: iHeart Living Room concert (93,438) (93,447) by MC1989 from Spain Alicia Keys sucked? I thought it was amazing, same as Billie. (Monday 30 March 2020; 11:11)

So proud (93,446) by MC1989 from Spain Thanks Mariah for that ABMB performance. (Monday 30 March 2020; 10:20)

Article: Mariah Carey delivers intimate "Always By My Baby" (93,445) by Andrew from the United Kingdom That. Was. Frickin'. Awesome. For the first time in a long time I'm about to WhatsApp my friends a Mariah Carey performance. (Monday 30 March 2020; 10:17)

Grammy chief claims Grammy’s are rigged (93,444) by Nikki from usa Well, that was an interesting read and something a lot of artists have been saying for awhile. I'm not surprised. Mariah was unfairly thwarted too many times. How does she have the best selling and most acclaimed album of the year but not win any major awards? To add insult to injury, the awards she did win she wasn't allowed to receive during the live broadcast. If 2005 wasn't a year of proof I don't know what is. (Monday 30 March 2020; 08:51)

MC early works (93,443) by Nikki from usa I'm not sure what the music scene was like in Europe during the 80's other than Madonna's popularity, but Mariah's debut was an ode to the 80's over here. She covered everything that was popular that decade from Rock to Dance and even a We Are The World kind of song with TGTBAW. She added her flavor with Vanishing and VOL. I'd like to know what singles she wanted to release and in what order for Emotions before those decisions were removed from her. It would be interesting to know how the project would've done without TM meddling. It would be called The Wind. It was such an ambitious project with so many varieties of black music from so many eras. (Monday 30 March 2020; 08:37)

Mariah: live indoor concert (93,442) by ABMB4eva from UK Stick that in your pipe and smoke it Andrew. (Monday 30 March 2020; 08:33)

She dedicated the song to dembabies (93,441) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia I wish she would give a little shout out to the frontliners in this time of situation. Still love her though. (Monday 30 March 2020; 08:15)

Re: So Cold (93,432) (93,440) by Nikki from usa That doesn't make sense though. It's well established no one at Sony was on board with her new look in 97. If Mottola and Walter were on board with Butterfly than there wouldn't have been so much squabbling and Walter wouldn't have fallen out with MC. They weren't on board with her hip hop tracks and Mottola even undermined Butterfly the song by giving it a limited release. Between that song and Slipping Away it appears he has a pattern of not wanting music about their relationship deteriorating made public. (Monday 30 March 2020; 07:53)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey celebrates milestone birthday in the studio (93,416) (93,439) by Nikki from usa Everyone lies about their age in Hollywood. It's the timeframe their careers are based on and how they're judged. Just ask Madonna how much she loves the age topic. Eminem and Nicki Minaj were both portrayed as being in their mid 20's when they came out, but both were a couple years older. JLo came out claiming she was 28, but it turned out she was off by a year after she went to jail with Puff Daddy. That's part of their marketing. And, to Bill, everybody lies no matter the religion. In fact, my life experience has shown people who proclaim some kind of purity due to their religion tend to lie and backstab the most. Christians also know "thou shalt not kill" and how many religious wars have we had? (Monday 30 March 2020; 07:35)

iHeart Living Room concert (93,438) by Tijl from Belgium Veni, vidi, vici. It was the best performance of the entire broadcast but in all honestly the others really sucked. (Monday 30 March 2020; 04:39)

You and I (93,437) by Aliya from Canada I just want to show some love for Mariah's performance of "You and I". It was absolutely beautiful when Mariah performed it. It really showcases her lower register. She had fluid transitions between notes, crazy whistle notes and she was sooo confident. Overall, she was incredibly fierce and powerful in this performance. I remember watching it years ago, but after watching it again recently, wow... it still gives me chills. This is an example of why I will always support her. (Monday 30 March 2020; 04:23)

ABMB (93,436) by Bobby A from United States She showed everybody that Mimi is still the best female vocalist of all time. You go girl. (Monday 30 March 2020; 04:02)

Re: So Cold (93,431) (93,435) by Andrew from the United Kingdom I have written about it before but I have a theory that almost everybody romanticizes music of the time when they were 13-17. And I am not sure you ever really let go because it instantly transports you to that time. Your early teens were the time when you became more mature and open to the world, when you began to identify who you are before you became an adult, when the music, movies and books you liked were harbingers of your emerging personality. It was the time of photographs of your friends on the wall; of emoting over verbose teen dramas (looking at you, Dawson); of staring out the window and dreaming of your crush, hoping they were listening to the same song and thinking of you; of hanging out at the beach all summer, going to the cinema and hanging out with your friends on hot nights under the glow of moonlight and streetlight because it was exciting, new and edgy. Listening to music from when we were those ages reminds us of those perfect, fragile, precious moments in time we can never go back to. I take it back. It has to be Daydream. Daydream was perfect music at a perfect moment in time. Well, for me, and I guess you, at least. But, as the adage goes, you can never go home again. (Monday 30 March 2020; 00:35)
