| Oh, DK I see you are thinking about 12 year old Mariah's feelings. But, we are going to speak the truth to 52 year old Mimi. |

| Quite. I can put my hand on my heart and say that I could have sang better than Mariah did. Honestly. That is what is really worrying. Someone whose voice was completely untouchable, and as Tommy said when he discovered her, "she is the best singer I have ever heard", to actually being one of the worst singers still performing, is almost incredible. It's so sad to witness. She can live off AIWFCIY's annual royalties, so why does she need the "money grab"? Retire from singing and write songs for others and focus on your other projects. The dolls have stopped dancing now. |

| MC has lost singing from note to note with ease and effortlessly. Her notes are forced now because air is not flowing through her vocal cords freely. That's the best that I can explain it. This performance is hard to watch again. I am really worried now about any future studio recordings. Until then, I will play her 1990 VOL Grammys performance instead. |

| I'm 100% with you on this Robert, I listen to MCIIY three times more then Merry Christmas during the holiday season. It's an amazing album to put on for hosting events at home, so updeat and fun. I love the lush orchestra. I remember when she first released MCIIY that she said it is Christmas in the city verses Merry Christmas is Christmas in the country. |

Merry Christmas or MCIIY (101,516)
by Robert-Anthony from United States
(Saturday 22 October 2022; 23:27) | | |
| I enjoy listening to MCIIY over Merry Christmas. I love MC's arrangements and phrasing on MCIIY far better than Merry Christmas. I am probably all alone on a side by myself. |

by Robert-Anthony from United States

| The ending is a part of the song and is my favorite part where MC sings in that raspy voice. One reviewer said at the time that even though Mariah's voice is not the same like it used to be, no one can sing with the highs and lows like Mariah Carey. |

This song goes hard in a peculiar satisfying way. It hasn't aged at all and even sounds stronger today. It came on when working out on my playlist and it was a pleasant surprise to listen to after not playing it in quite a while. Just a total bop and fun record, I can see why it went number one.  . Funny enough it is one of those rare moments that in hind sight, the video is a perfect match for the song. Haha. Why was that era so short? |

Christmas surprises (101,466)

Re: Full of grace (101,459) (101,460)

| I felt that she was trying very hard to emulate Patti all way with this performance. I think that MC captured Patti's vocal performance and inflections 100%. I really feel that MC's voice now is always best when she is relaxed and singing in her mid-range. I just want her to sing and leave the whistle notes out. |

| This is the Mariah I [fell in love with]. That entrance, the raw 100% live singing, husk, rasppiness and all. Then the confidence on stage, not bothering to look pretty nor have good angles for the lighting (notice her exit after that beautiful applause was on her "bad side", no insecurity there). Where did this Mariah Carey go to? Today she really isn't this girl singing here anymore. That line she sings on Candy Bling though, "I'm the same Mimi, fame ain't changed me". Yeah [right] Mariah. Still got love for her though, that will never change. |

Re: Upcoming projects (101,433) (101,434)

| Great post Tevin. I think that she said on Twitter Spaces this past summer that more was to come for the Rarities and MC 30. And don't forget about the Jumpsmokers Remix album. I tweeted MC today about the Rarities 2 to include CB to MIAM. MC would really profit and receive rave reviews if she released songs on projects from when she was vocally in her prime. I just want to hear Reaching For The Sky and a high quality longer version on Skydiving. |

| Yep. We will probably never get another tour ever again. MC probably wrote a lot of her songs in a such a high key that constant trying to replicate the same key on a tour ruined her voice. |

Re: Just a thought, let's be kind (101,418) (101,420)
by Robert-Anthony from United States
(Saturday 8 October 2022; 01:24) | | |
| So, Matthew what is your opinion as to why MC was never a polished live performer? Do you think Tommy is cause of it because he was afraid MC would become too big too soon? Or was it MC herself whio was afraid that her vocal nodules would cause her to lose her voice after a long demanding tour? The latter is why most Lambs and vocal coaches suspect MC's voice was dramatically different after the Music Box tour. When I listened to MC's most recent WBT perdformance on a CD that I made, I found it be her worst WBT performance ever. I couldn't even compare it to her Mimi's Late Night Valentine's Mix. I would love to know what really happened to MC's voice after E=MC2 someday. It was evident to me that her voice had suffered major damage on Memoirs but she rebounded on MCIIY. |

Re: Your most surprised MC collaboration (101,416) (101,417)
by Robert-Anthony from United States

| Not really at all. I wasn't buying too many hip hop CDs and nor watching the charts either. I was introduced to Kanye West in 2004. A co-worker created a CD of The College Dropout for me. I didn't listened to it at all. So, I really never cared much for Kanye at that time and sure didn't know he was a huge hip hop producer. I love his production now. |

Your most surprised MC collaboration (101,414)

| My most surprised MC collaboration is Stay the Night. When I saw Kanye West's name as the producer, I was like why did MC collaborate with Kanye West. However now, Stay the Night is one of my favorite songs on TEOM. |

| MC will probably never address the deterioration of her voice. If she did, how could she ever halfway attempt to perform live on tour or on national TV? I am predicting that whatever is coming out next year, will probably be MC's last original projects for a while. Sony Legacy will probably begin to release multiple boxsets yearly in 7 years. 2030 will mark MC's 40 years in the music business. I am ready now for some boxsets. They can only help to sustain her legacy for Roc and Roe. |
