About MCder from USA: 24, Love MC and love helping.

The Elusive Chantour (47,171) by MCder from USA So of course blogs (esp Billboard shunning her) have received the not so good snippets of Mariah's opening night (VOL/Hero) but this can go several ways. One she may just finish the remainder of the tour dates officially announced and cancel any future ones or lip the majority of the concert. I say this because Mariah's voice is either a hit or miss. I love the way she birthed new life into WBT but as soon as she lips here comes the complaints. If she puts effort forth and crack on notes here and there more complaints come. Everyone is so focused on the 90s Mariah where she was vocally capable but 2010s Mariah can reach but not fully sustain throughout. This will only make her lose her confidence or it may make her do better but again if she attempts full live and cracks then everyone is here to criticize. To be honest it's like she can't win for losing because she is put on such a high pedalstool as a superior vocalist. I honestly feel like Mariah should do a different arrangement of the songs so it can rule in her favor. If you can't belt a certain part change it. (Monday 6 October 2014; 3:40)

Carlos From Peru (43,168) by MCder from USA She did say Stevie was playing the harmonica on one of the tracks. No vocal duet, even though she would have liked one. (Thursday 1 May 2014; 20:49)

Era unknown (43,001) by MCder from USA I can understand the frustation about the release of the album delays but great things take time. Yes we all would love a full album from our beloved Mariah but at least she released some material for us to carry us over, whether good or bad, until the album is finally in our grasp. There are things Mariah should clear up in terms of contradictive information by various articles but does she really have to, no. I don't think it's disrespectful to the fan-base to not give all the information about the album because we know that it's coming but give it time. Honestly, Mariah can't please everyone simply because they wanted Ballad-Riah; so she gave us TAOLG and people complained. Prior to that they wanted Urban-Riah so she gave us Triumphant and people definitely complained. No matter how many ways you cut the bread, Mariah legacy is definitely set in stone. Let's take a look at Patti and Aretha. They haven't released material in ages but their fan-bases are appreciative when they grace the stage with performances of older material. Yes Mariah voice has its moment but she is human. Whether you support her or not, she will still be paid. (Monday 28 April 2014; 22:17)
