About loverboy from Canada: Fan of her recordings since 1993. I listen to Mariah all the damn time.

Re: Big news (85,186) (85,190) by loverboy from Canada Lol. She's coming around my hood too. I think I might also go to lip sync to her lipsyncing. (Monday 22 October 2018; 17:08)

Re: Homecoming special (84,793) (84,819) by loverboy from Canada Yeah, that is s fun special. That’s the year I really started to stan her. (Saturday 13 October 2018; 01:26)

"The Remixes" 15 years later (84,729) by loverboy from Canada How many people have this album and love it as much as I do? There are some gems missing (like "I Still Believe/Pure Imagination" and the Morales remix of "I Still Believe") but other than that this album is pure fire. I remember buying it at Best Buy when it came out and hadn't actually heard a lot of the house mixes because I don't have those singles and loving all of them. I also love "Miss You" and had that sh*t on repeat. It really shows that she is the undisputed queen of remixes. (Thursday 11 October 2018; 03:15)

Re: Mike Will made it (84,608) (84,728) by loverboy from Canada "Ribbon" is one of my all-time faves of hers. I listen to that obsessively when MOAIA came out. Such a good song. (Thursday 11 October 2018; 03:06)

Re: Will Mariah sing live at the AMA's? (84,555) (84,569) by loverboy from Canada She'll probably perform "With You" but I highly doubt it will be completely live. God forbid she sings a song completely live. (Tuesday 9 October 2018; 01:09)

Re: With You (84,313) (84,349) by loverboy from Canada "The deception is what kills me the most. Every Christmas she milk AIWFC for the millions she's earned and tours all over the world pretending to 'sing'. She should not charge full price tickets to watch her lip sync when she can't sing anymore. Either sing in real time with your current limited voice or not at all. It's disingenuous take advantage of the same people who supported you when you put out a quality product and use the same people to fund your extravagant lifestyle and you are giving them a hologram." This this this. While I do like the "With You" and look forward to the album, her lip sync performances during her concerts kill me more than anything. I understand maybe lipping certain parts here and there, but she's lip syncing the big notes/money notes aka the notes that people pay to go see live and the ones that are usually the centrepieces of her songs. It's so fake and really sad to see especially since she has become so reliant on it to keep this facade going. I get her voice isn't what it used to be but like many have said: Change the arrangements of your old songs and stop recording stuff nowadays that you can't sing live. It may not sound as good but at least it makes for an honest live performance. I love her music, I've seen her in concert multiple times (back when she wasn't obsessed with lipping) and have all of her albums singles and videos so it's just disappointing to see it from someone you are such a huge fan of. Ok that's my rant. (Friday 5 October 2018; 01:23)

Re: Random thought about "Where are You Christmas?" (83,229) (83,240) by loverboy from Canada Definitely very Mariah-esque. It always reminded me of "Miss you most (at Christmas time)", especially the pre-chorus part. (Tuesday 24 July 2018; 02:45)

Re: Can't Let Go is lovely (83,040) (83,115) by loverboy from Canada I've been listening to it all week. I never realized how much I loved this song. One of my all time favorites for sure. (Friday 13 July 2018; 03:23)

Re: She uh have nice gowns - Aretha (83,099) (83,113) by loverboy from Canada I remember I made a YouTube comment back on 2k10 when she was lipsyncing her Christmas special that had her mother on it. Big mistake on my part. (Friday 13 July 2018; 03:17)

Re: She uh have nice gowns - Aretha (83,093) (83,112) by loverboy from Canada That's the thing. If she was good at lipsyincing and it didn't use the CD vocals we all know and love for any of the songs, then it wouldn't be as big of a deal (although I personally wouldn't like it either way, and don't like it even Celine does it). But people wouldn't notice it as much and therefore speak about it as much. But she doesn't even put an effort her faking it. Like the "Fantasy" incident of her falling off of the box. C'mon. You're already in the hot seat for lipsyncing. But I'm sure that was Dick Clark Productions fault. The worst pulprit, in my opinion, is when she performs "Without You" and alternates between her current voice and the 1993 album vocals that are knocked down a semi-tone or whatever. It's like 2 completely different people singing and not seamless at all. (Friday 13 July 2018; 03:14)
