Re: Mariah's IG (91,079) (91,102) by 90sMariah from SG They're mostly "randos" and nobodies who look like they don't belong in Mariah's following list. (Sunday 20 October 2019; 12:25)

Re: Legends Ball (91,095) (91,101) by Licia from USA That's how I feel, but I was trying to be nice. I want to believe that it was out of respect, but I know better considering during that time she wasn't at 100%. Had they given the youngins' the opportunity to sing I honestly doubt she would have done it then either. I agree 90s Mariah wouldn't have shied away from that mic. (Sunday 20 October 2019; 07:48)

Re: Legends Ball (91,096) (91,100) by We are Lambily from USA Good for Yolanda, she is a great singer. But I can name 20 other girls that didn't sing yet once again you guys try to vilify Mariah for it. Okay you should also know by now that Mariah's voice is special. Her nodules has its good and bad sides. And yes if the air is not right Mariah's voice gets affected. The last thing I'm gonna mention is that Mariah was in tears throughout the "singing" part so how do you expect her to sing? She was living in the moment, she has given us 29+ years of pure singing. Went places singers could only dream about and now enjoying life as the living legend she is. How about that? (Sunday 20 October 2019; 05:57)

Re: Legends Ball (91,072) (91,099) by Hector from Mexico Mariah knows she's lost her voice. That's why she doesn't grab the mic. Sad but true. (Sunday 20 October 2019; 04:01)

Re: Memoirs vinyl box set (91,091) (91,098) by Bobby A from United States John, what is your Ebay name? (Sunday 20 October 2019; 00:16)

Re: Legends Ball (91,095) (91,097) by Edward from USA Agree with you 100%. It's one thing not outsinging your idols out of respect, but it's another thing runing away, at every chance, from doing that which made her famous, singing. If it's not a tightly control environment, Mariah won't even try. What else is new? In the 90's, Mariah would just take a damn mike and sing, period. (Saturday 19 October 2019; 21:35)

Re: Legends Ball (91,089) (91,096) by Randy from USA Yolanda Adams grabbed the mic. She's in the same generation. The titling at the bottom called her a youngin just like MC was tagged a youngin. That's an iconic moment. MC is a studio singer and that was a moment without an engineer or the possibility of a retake or had a camera or not a concert full of fans. We all know by now that if it's not 73.5 degrees in a room on a day where she's had 8.5 hours of sleep and at least 300 delusional fans and ear monitors that have been tested three times, she's not going to be at her best.

Re: Legends Ball (91,085) (91,095) by Special K from USA Ah no ma'am you were spot on in your original post. Mariah was scared. During that time TEOM was on fire. She should have taken the mic and let spirit move her ass instead of worrying about being perfect. (Saturday 19 October 2019; 20:41)

Re: Memoirs vinyl box set (91,091) (91,094) by Bobby A from United States Great. I will look for it. (Saturday 19 October 2019; 19:42)

Re: Memoirs vinyl box set (91,092) (91,093) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada If I can help you at some point with a recording I will. Right now I am trying to replace my record player and can't even play my vinyls. We'll see where I'm at after Christmas. (Saturday 19 October 2019; 18:34)

Re: Memoirs vinyl box set (91,087) (91,092) by Bill from the UK Not sure what your budget is, but it is available on Discogs - though not cheap. At all. (Saturday 19 October 2019; 14:05)

Re: Memoirs vinyl box set (91,075) (91,091) by John john from UK I have one. Mine will be added to eBay this week. I'm currently selling all my Mariah items, starting with this gem. (Saturday 19 October 2019; 13:51)

In the back (91,090) by Nikki from usa "If you watch the show, I was heading back toward the background singers, because I felt like that's where I belong." Mariah said that referencing Aretha Franklin. It wasn't about respect, but reverie. Mariah had an open invite, on more than one occasion, to work with Stevie Wonder. We know how much she loves him. She always said, "in my dreams". He may have played harmonica for her, but no collab. She doesn't feel worthy of singing alongside of them. Mariah's been gushing about gospel since she came out, so it's likely she doesn't feel like she's in the same league. She's the starstruck fan girl in these scenarios.

Re: Legends Ball (91,081) (91,089) by We are Lambily from USA Licia, it's about having respect to the people you look upto. I don't think I remember anyone from Mariah's generation singing that night. Also that's one of the most beautiful qualities about Mariah in my eyes, she is so shy with her beautiful and untouchable voice. She is the greatest female singer-songwriter-producer of all time and no one comes even close. And one of the top 3 artists of all time. (Saturday 19 October 2019; 05:48)

Re: Legends Ball (91,085) (91,088) by RibbonB from USA Right, because you even during Divas Live 98 or 99, she knew not to engage too far with Aretha and Celine should've known better. . It's really not Mariah's style for whatever reason. (Saturday 19 October 2019; 02:35)

Re: Memoirs vinyl box set (91,080) (91,087) by Bobby A from United States I want a copy so bad or a CD recorded copy. (Saturday 19 October 2019; 00:24)

Re: Memoirs vinyl box set (91,083) (91,086) by Bobby A from United States I know. Those prices are crazy. I can kick myself because in 2013, a record shop in Nashville had a copy for $50. I said that I would get it next payday and that I am the only Mariah Carey fan in Nashville. Boy, I was so wrong. I went back two weeks later and it was gone along with a $25 vinyl copy of the first pressing of Mariah Carey. Are you willing to make me a CD copy of the Memoirs vinyl for a price you choose? I am curious how the vinyl will sound on my vintage Sanyo speakers from 1980s. My email address is mercyjames678@gmail.com. Thank you. (Saturday 19 October 2019; 00:23)

Re: Legends Ball (91,082) (91,085) by Licia from USA I do take that into consideration and I understand that having that group of women tearing it up on the mic was intimidating, but I can't help but think that even if it was singers that came out around her era, she wouldn't have done it. It definitely would have been awesome for her to join in. I'll just go back to lala land and continue to believe she was being respectful to the elders and that's why she didn't join in. Lol.

Re: Legends Ball 91,081) (91,084) by MusicfanJ from Germany It is sad. Like If you're the best pianist and would leave the room if there's a piano. I fear it's not only a nerve thing. (Friday 18 October 2019; 20:14)

Re: Memoirs vinyl box set (91,077) (91,083) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Yikes. I just looked it up on eBay thaare is one selling for $400 and $500. I paid $50 plus shipping. Don’t get me wrong. I love Mariah but it’s crazy the prices once something is out of print. (Friday 18 October 2019; 17:44)

Re: Legends Ball (91,081) (91,082) by RibbonB from USA To be fair, this was the Legends gospel brunch. I think it was more the setting than about the voice. Remember it was Patti, Shirley Ceasar, Gladys Knight, Chaka Khan, etc ad libbing. I don't blame her for being nervous, but how wonderful if she had grabbed it and went off. They did shade Ashanti during the podcast though. (Friday 18 October 2019; 17:20)

Re: Legends Ball (91,072) (91,081) by Licia from USA That makes me sad that a person who was named one off the best voices was scared to grab the mic. (Friday 18 October 2019; 16:49)

Re: Memoirs vinyl box set (91,075) (91,080) by Bill from the UK I had it but sold it on eBay when times got rough. I got quite a lot of money for it actually. I miss it. (Friday 18 October 2019; 16:17)

Re: Mariah's IG (91,078) (91,079) by TJ from Norway I guess I'm blonde, but what's wrong with that list? (Friday 18 October 2019; 13:58)

Re: Mariah's IG (91,076) (91,078) by 90sMariah from SG Could be. I just hope that whoever is Mariah's current social media admin will clean out her 'following' list, because it ain't pretty. Her Twitter account makes more sense. (Friday 18 October 2019; 06:10)
