Re: Tour question (69,845) (69,846) by Will from England Considering how she's headlining with another artist, it would be foolish and unprofessional of her to do so. If she is opening for Lionel, she can't just cancel at a drop of a hat. She's got obligations to another artist (contractually I'd imagine) that she would have to fulfil, despite whatever is going on in her private life. (Monday 12 December 2016; 22:52)

Bryan (69,690) by Will from England Watching MW at the moment, and I like how they portray that this is the first time Mariah and Bryan have seen each other since TAOM. The Triumphant performance anyone? (Thursday 8 December 2016; 23:43)

Re: Comeback (68,705) (68,712) by Will from England I have to disagree with your statement that Mariah has toured very little (recently I assume). She's been performing more or less consistently since the start of her Vegas show, had the successful SSFT run, Beacon shows, Hallmark special, private shows for various people, Essence etc. so this is most she has performed since forever on a consistent basis. Her voice, compared to that (capital letters) AIWFCIY performance and the beginning of TEC tour, is considerably better than what it was. It is 100%? Not really, it has its rough days but she's belting and experimenting with more confidence than she was. (Saturday 26 November 2016; 22:20)

Ellen (68,656) by Will from England I kinda somewhat get why she was less than willing to partake in a little game, no matter how harmless it was. As I recall, after Tommy, she was being linked to any guy that breathed, and right now she's being linked to that "I don't know the meaning of boundaries" dancer of hers, after a very public divorce and breakup. Of course no one is forcing her to hook up with any of them. But that's been a part of her since forever: she will refuse to pick one person over another, especially if she herself is friends with them, unless she doesn't like them. Ellen's show format isn't the place for a serious interview about her life. That's more reserved for a one-on-one setting, where she doesn't feel the need to pander to an audience. Could she have talked about anything else? Yes. But then again, Ellen didn't direct the interview in any particular direction, or bring up anything for Mariah to talk about or promote properly. It was literally Christmas, that photo, MW briefly, and WYR. It is Ellen's job as an interviewer to bring up topics, not just only Mariah. Whether Mariah answers or not is another matter altogether and when she was asked how she was, she did technically answer, then deflected when it became too uncomfortable.

Article: Mariah Carey gushes over "spectacular" boyfriend (68,492) by Will from England What a difference a year makes. (Saturday 19 November 2016; 22:22)

Article: Performers at this year's Rockefeller Tree Lighting (68,491) by Will from England You really, really think that after what happened in 2014, Mariah would want to go back? Lol. (Saturday 19 November 2016; 22:06)

Re: New pics (68,263) (68,267) by Will from England It's the most covered she's been all week. Whatever it is, I'm not complaining. (Saturday 12 November 2016; 18:43)

Re: No sign of The Beacon shows yet? (67,187) (67,202) by Will from England During the press clipping for Mariah's Hawaii shows, didn't it say that she initially didn't want to add more shows, due to rehearsals for the Beacon show(s) along with Thanksgiving? (Tuesday 11 October 2016; 16:24)

Re: Empire and new music (67,059) (67,066) by Will from England That's interesting, because Mariah Carey Australia posted a photo of the number of viewers, and Empire came out on top from 8pm onwards, with 9.25 million viewers. Maybe worldwide not so much. (Friday 7 October 2016; 15:29)

Re: I was loving Infamous (66,991) (67,000) by Will from England I thought I was the only one who noticed those tongue clicks. They're the only bit I don't like about the song. (Tuesday 4 October 2016; 12:22)

Re: The Weeknd (66,958) (66,959) by Will from England Didn't she try this with MOAIA already? (Monday 3 October 2016; 0:39)

TV show songs (66,921) by Will from England For brand new songs, do TV show executives/whoever have a list of requirements for what they want a song to sound like? Because the song has to fit with the show, and not completely the opposite of what they need it to be. So could it be possible that Mariah, JD and whoever, got a list of requirements for the song, what it had to say lyrically and the vocal performance needed, the context of which it had to fit, and crafted a song around that? Instead of going all out with full Mariah Carey, with whatever she wanted to write and sing about? (Saturday 1 October 2016; 19:09)

Infamous (66,835) by Will from England I like it. It's a nice slow jam, Mariah isn't over the top, the lyrics (to a point) are sensual, it fits the episode (from what I've seen from trailers), the whistle notes are sublime in the background like how she used to do them, so they're not in the foreground taking over. (Thursday 29 September 2016; 18:34)

Re: Empire song (66,470) (66,484) by Will from England Don't know about anybody else, but I'm excited. (Monday 19 September 2016; 20:13)

So sad (65,687) by Will from England It's so sad what's happening to Alison at the moment. If Mariah was crying during performances, then I'm not surprised at all. (Monday 29 August 2016; 0:20)

RJJ12 (65,566) (65,571) by Will from England I recently watched some of the performances from Rainbow/#1s eras and I think she's considerably better than those performances. To me, her voice was stuck, not being able to reach the high belts, not being able to hold the note(s) the way she'd previously done (with the exception of some of the high notes). Compare this performance of VOL from the Rainbow tour to her performance at Vegas. Mass improvement in every way. Just my thoughts. (Tuesday 23 August 2016; 22:55)

Billboard photo (65,343) by Will from England Well, I've seen it. And yeah, pretty much looks like as it sounds lol. (Tuesday 16 August 2016; 18:38)

Re: TMZ (65,292) (65,301) by Will from England I'm actually curious to see it lol, and whether it's as bad as they're making it out to be. (Monday 15 August 2016; 19:41)

I Will Survive (64,756) by Will from England Nice to see Mariah singing this song. And sharing the mic with another female? Fantastic. (Thursday 28 July 2016; 20:01)

Photoshoot (64,727) by Will from England Can't keep myself from just laughing at some of these comments. Illuminati? Please, as if. Haven't we been down this ridiculous road before? And people say that Mariah's the one who has lost it lol. No, it's a different photo shoot for her, it's refreshing, it's moody, well shot and just nice to see her doing something different other than standing against a wall and posing. Nothing more, nothing less. Brilliant articles as well, a hint of the next album is already in the works. What more can you want? (Wednesday 27 July 2016; 20:06)

Re: Essence (64,020) (64,026) by Will from England Breakdown is a good song, but for it to work, you'd have to bank on the fact that more than half of the audience there knows it as well to be worthwhile. She knows which songs go down well with larger scale audiences that may not be huge obsessed lambs, that know every ad-lib she has ever done. With tours, she can break out the AAO, LB's etc. (Monday 4 July 2016; 20:01)

Re: Stella's post (63,983) (63,996) by Will from England Eh, they've been saying #19 ever since Bye Bye, which is actually fitting, because at this rate, any dreams of getting the 19th will have go "bye bye". (Saturday 2 July 2016; 20:13)

My All (63,826) by Will from England Loving the ad-libs she does in the middle of this performance. There's passion and emotion there. I wonder whom she has in mind now, when singing that song? (Sunday 26 June 2016; 17:30)

Lip synching (63,713) by Will from England Don't forget, that when Mariah was younger hitting those big notes, she never really pulled facial expressions to show that those notes where difficult to reach. She always made it look effortless. Look at her (I think) Arsenio Hall performance of "Emotions", where she hit those super high notes as if it were nothing. She only pulls those sorts of facial expressions when she's really feeling that performance and letting it rip vocally, not to portray that she's reaching for those notes. Look at her recent VOL performances, and of course, the WBT/FLAB Grammy performance at the end. When lip synching, maybe she is doing it how she would have sung those notes naturally, like IDWC. OK, maybe it can be perfected a little to be more realistic, but she's never had to do (I don't think) it under live conditions. Perhaps I'm wrong. (Wednesday 22 June 2016; 22:52)
