About Xavier mariohmix from Spain:

Remaining Vegas shows (108,270) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain That is so right. The excitement and anticipation was what gave us life for many months before and after every release. And the moment when we were finally at home with the CD in our hands and then listening to it was ecstatic. Wow. (Tuesday 25 February 2025; 11:32) this is a reply to message 108,264

Remaining Vegas shows (108,264) by MusicfanJ from Germany The Rainbow Mariah was fun. The Hearbreaker video was on heavy rotation every day. There were really so many things which a fan could enjoy. The Glitter album was released before 9/11/01 in Germany. I can't remember why. But I remember buying the single Loverboy too. It was always a highlight to buy a Mariah CD on its release day. The youngsters of today have no clue how exciting it was. To wait until a release date, drive to the city at a media market and buy the "new" CD. (Monday 24 February 2025; 19:13)

Spectacular vocals 2024 (108,269) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain This concert in its entirety is vocally one of her best ever. She was on top form. I remember she used some kind of spray in the mouth a couple of times during the concert, and people named it the "magical spray" or something of the kind. Lol. (Tuesday 25 February 2025; 11:27)

Article: Barbra Streisand new album will feature song with Mariah (108,127) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain I didn't see it coming either. We'll have to wait and see what it's about. (Thursday 6 February 2025; 00:02)

My observation (107,982) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain This new era is all about immediacy and instant gratification. All the struggles we are suffering is the price we have to pay. (Friday 17 January 2025; 01:54) this is a reply to message 107,981

My observation (107,981) by Zachariah from Croatia Agreed, times are tough in the world and every day I see more people struggling with mental health or health in general, finances, relationships, superficiality. Something needs to change. Empathy is missing and it is an alarming thought. (Thursday 16 January 2025; 10:42)

California fires (107,978) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain I hope the wildfires stop as soon as possible and everyone is fine. (Tuesday 14 January 2025; 17:51) this is a reply to message 107,976

California fires (107,976) by Norman from USA Yup. It's been craziness over here. My sister and mom had just moved to LA from Minnesota in October and we found them a nice duplex rental in Altadena in December. Well, that's where the Eaton fire is, and this past Wednesday everything they owned burned down with the house. It was wild. They came to stay with me for a couple of days because they were going to have power outages in the area - that was Tuesday night. By Wednesday morning it was all gone. It's been difficult to process and know how to feel. The main reason my sister moved back with my mom is because my mom has dementia, and most of our family is here in LA. Moving back was seen as good because we'd get to share in her day-to-day care, you know? Now everything's gone. And there are thousands of people without a home. We're blessed that they're still alive and that they could stay with me. A lot of people weren't that fortunate. Please keep the people of LA in your thoughts. Thank you.

Spectacular show (107,977) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Lambs, this 2014 concert is just amazing. I haven't listened to it for ages. Her voice is crystal clear and you can't tell the little lipped parts apart. (Tuesday 14 January 2025; 12:31)

Rare Whenever You Call video (107,933) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain There are 3 performances of that song and this is the only video, I think. Thanks for posting it. That YouTube channel uploads very interesting videos. She was not in a good condition vocally on that tour to do justice to that song, but overall she used to have the ability to make the performance seem enjoyable.

Rare Whenever You Call video (107,919) by Shezz from Pk I just came across this recently posted video from the Perth Butterfly concert - I don't know if it's new or been around for a while. Her voice was definitely tired and worn out but she soldiered on (98% live) and her rasp was still pretty. The climax audio transition was tough to watch - not too smooth in the early days I suppose but still a beautiful performance of an amazing song. Also she looked so gorgeous here - no frills no elaborate impractical gowns just a simple white top and a pair of jeans. (Saturday 4 January 2025; 13:04)

Top posters 2024 (107,897) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain This is my first time on the list. Lol. Happy New Year to everyone. By the way, at the beginning of the season I didn't think that All I Want for Christmas Is You would perform so well this year. (Wednesday 1 January 2025; 23:52) this is a reply to message 107,896

Top posters 2024 (107,896) by Edward from USA Congrats to Robert-Anthony and Mimi L. (Wednesday 1 January 2025; 23:31)

Merry Christmas (107,857) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Merry Christmas to all. (Wednesday 25 December 2024; 22:42)

Here it goes (107,645) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain This is just live and what we want from her. (Thursday 14 November 2024; 21:19)

Christmas show (107,540) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Lol. The same thing happened to me at her Christmas concert in Madrid in 2018. I had so much fun. (Thursday 24 October 2024; 15:13) this is a reply to message 107,538

Christmas show (107,538) by Libra Lamb from USA I really hope you get to go. You can make it happen. I'm definitely ready. My voice will be surely gone by the end of that night from "singing" along. (Thursday 24 October 2024; 02:41)

AMAs performance (107,509) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain I don't get confrontational easily, but I wouldn't like old evils to take over the message board again. The thing about lipping is just that it's so easy for me to see because I'm pretty observant and I also have a master's degree in Mariah. Being a real lamb takes up a lot of time and that's how I got my degree, you know? Me entiendes, colega? Lol. (Saturday 12 October 2024; 23:03) this is a reply to message 107,506

AMAs performance (107,506) by Edward from USA I asked not to be confrontational, I'm really curious because I can't seem to spot it. ¡Claro que quién tiene razón soy yo. . I'll keep watching though. (Saturday 12 October 2024; 02:34)

AMAs performance (107,505) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Don't worry about it. It's just we have different points of view. However, I'm the one who's right. Lol. Just kidding. Seriously, let's leave it there. We know how this always ends. The important thing is Mariah is still here with us, active, making music and keeping our spirits together and alive. Hugs. (Saturday 12 October 2024; 01:55) this is a reply to message 107,498

AMAs performance (107,498) by Edward from USA Can you pinpoint specific moments in the performance to support your statement? Mariah hasn't ever been a great lipper. (Friday 11 October 2024; 04:47)

AMAs performance (107,497) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Really? Do you really think the performance is live? Am I too obsessed with this or have I become too distrustful of her? I've felt obliged to watch the performance again, but I still see the same. Poor me. For the record, I don't question the multiple tapings, I mean, that's something recurrent in televised performances. For example, "It's a wrap" on López Tonight or the medley on American Idol. (Friday 11 October 2024; 01:42) this is a reply to message 107,487

AMAs performance (107,487) by Edward from USA Performances like this are usually recorded multiple times from different angles, which can sometimes give the impression that playback was used. For instance, the VH1 duet of "With You I'm Born Again" with John Legend was taped 3 times, I know because I was in the audience. The woman performed one song, but she delivered it live. Credit where credit is due. (Wednesday 9 October 2024; 13:23)

AMAs performance (107,483) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Guys and girls, I don't wanna spoil the moment, but the performance is playback from beginning to end. Just like The Celebration of Mimi in Vegas (except for a couple of adlibs here and there). I'm afraid MC is not singing live again (at least for a while). The quality of her voice has worsened considerably in the past couple years, and live on stage is where she feels most stressed and insecure about it. So now she just plays it safe by rerecording everything in her current voice and having improved the lipping technique. At least we can enjoy lots of new vocals recorded in a studio. For what it's worth, I think I'm starting to be finally at peace with this. (Wednesday 9 October 2024; 01:47)

AMA's anticipation is high (107,457) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Lol. Don't you dare. You're the one who keeps this alive. (Monday 7 October 2024; 01:54) this is a reply to message 107,455

AMA's anticipation is high (107,455) by Bobby A from United States Is that really the sentiment amongst the board members? Okay, I hear everyone loud and clear. Going forward, I will limit my posts. I don't want you to get to that point and you say "I don't know him." (Sunday 6 October 2024; 22:33)

Article: Mariah Carey worries fans after "crying" on stage (107,193) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain The song was Looking In. Again, I don't see any tears or crying in the recent performance. (Sunday 11 August 2024; 22:28) this is a reply to message 107,190

Article: Mariah Carey worries fans after "crying" on stage (107,190) by Matty from Vancouver Canada I wonder what she's struggling with. That was really sad to watch. Reminds me of years back when she started crying during a performance of Outside (I believe; she was wearing black feathers and had just had that accident on the set of the #Beautiful remix video set), or when she cried at the Christmas concert when her and Nick were breaking up. At least we know she's singing live, but it was hard watching the backup singers and band keep looping back waiting for her to jump back in. I wonder if all the focus and discussion on Celine's struggle with her voice and illness is making Mimi reflect on her own vocal aging. No Olympian can do what they did in their 20's while they're in their 50's. Anyway, it breaks my heart when I see Mariah cry. (Sunday 11 August 2024; 20:39)

Confused (107,182) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Ridiculous. She's just waiting for the pre-recorded section (all of it is, in fact) while half smiling and not wanting to do any live adlibs. There's no more to this specific performance than the rest of the show. (Sunday 11 August 2024; 00:53) this is a reply to message 107,165

Confused (107,165) by Bobby A from United States Here is the video. Thank you, Eric. (Friday 9 August 2024; 11:33)

Christmas shows (107,180) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Joachim, we all know you can pull through, right? All our support, dear lamb. Make it happen. (Saturday 10 August 2024; 21:53) this is a reply to message 107,177

Christmas shows (107,177) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway I attended the Charmbracelet tour in London in 2003 right before Halloween, and this year I'm actually planning on going back and see her Christmas shows I'm currently hospitalized for depression with previous suicidal thoughts for the second time since 2009. If it hadn't been for my mobile phone and YouTube and the existence of Mariah Carey, I wouldn't have survived. I have to thank Mariah again for saving my life, thank you Mariah.

What do you do for a living? (106,961) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain The one song I used to go with was "Hero". You know, easy to sing along to and understand. Anyway, one day I decided to use a different one for a more mature group of students and I picked "The Art of Letting Go". At the end of it, one of my students said that Mariah sounded "revengeful" (in relation to the part: "out the kitchen window right now"). Lol.

What do you do for a living? (106,943) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Oh. When I was a teacher, I used to play Mariah's songs for my students as often as I could. Lol. (Wednesday 24 July 2024; 19:44)

What do you do for a living? (106,960) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain I don't even know the artists, the songs or the type of music which is listened to by youngsters here in Spain. Every now and then I happen to be with my nephew, who is 11 years old, and I have no idea of what he's singing along to. He then tells me the name of the artist or group and nothing to me. When he was a baby, he used to sing along "Supernatural": "Our love is supernatural... ah ah ah ah...". He doesn't remember, but I got it recorded. Lol.

What do you do for a living? (106,945) by Bobby A from United States Kids these days only listen to Drake, Lil Baby, Future and 21 Savage. Lol. We can't play their music in the classroom. If you mention Mariah Carey, they only know her for AIWFCIY. (Wednesday 24 July 2024; 22:42)

Original David Morales collaboration (106,959) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain You know what? I'm still stuck in the Portrait Hopeful Child Remix. It's just so well executed in every sense: the different paces, the transitions into the different sections, the whole vibe, the lyrics, the varied moments. It's just excellent. I listen to it almost every day. I love the Rainbow's End as well. (Friday 26 July 2024; 00:06) this is a reply to message 106,953

Original David Morales collaboration (106,953) by Bobby A from United States I was thinking today if we will finally get an original David Morales collaboration for MC16. Metorite was a pleasant surpirise on MIAM. And Caution could have been a bonus dance track after Portrait. I am just hoping for more original dance/electronic tracks on MC16. I am keeping my fingers cross. (Thursday 25 July 2024; 23:07)

Election (106,958) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Let's not get into politics, but, guys, what you're living there in the US right now is out of proportion (respectfully). (Friday 26 July 2024; 00:01) this is a reply to message 106,952

Election (106,952) by RL from USA Yup, Harris needs to reassess her candidacy. (Thursday 25 July 2024; 18:52)

What do you do for a living? (106,956) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain I can see from the diversity here we can build up the greatest enterprise to re-boost Mariah's career (sorts of...). Don't you all agree? Lol. (Thursday 25 July 2024; 23:57) this is a reply to message 106,948
