About Shezz from Pk: L4L

Fallon / Caution / sales (86,103) by Shezz from Pk
The Fallon performance looked and sounded great. I couldn't quite tell where she was lipping if she was. Everytime I thought she was lipping, she'd change the note up in the end. Re-recorded vocals or live, don't matter she did well and I liked her ensembles.

After finally getting my fill of Giving Me Life (reminds me a tad bit of Beautiful Ones though of course without the hair raising vocals) I gave the other tracks a chance and did really like all of them though I do agree the texture and the tone is a bit similar throughout, some can call it repetitive others can call it cohesive. MIAMTEC was more diverse and had more vocal moments for sure. That being said I do love the album, wanted more from Portrait lyrically but I'm really happy with the album overall.

Lastly, has anyone seen the iTunes chart or sales projections? Last I saw she was at #4 on iTunes. Strange if Glitter got to #1 I thought Caution would have flown there. Anyway, great promo still left, awesome roll out, kudos to the team. Lets hope they don't abandon it too soon.

Re: 8th Grade (86,002) (86,017) by Shezz from Pk
She tweet that the song gave her a nostalgiac feeling of 8th Grade.

Giving Me Life (86,006) by Shezz from Pk
Is giving me life and it's everything. By far the standout track for me. I love the slowed down delivery and general vibe of the song. I have it on repeat and haven't really given the other songs a chance yet.

Re: GTFO, next (85,850) (85,855) by Shezz from Pk
When I first heard a low quality clip on a meme I thought it sounded like new Mariah stuff for a second before I knew who it was.

GMA appearance 11/19 (85,851) by Shezz from Pk
So the GMA apperance/concert is on the 19th but if I remember correctly she did one for MIAMTEC as well didn't she where she sang YDKWTD and one when Beautiful was released as well. Why are some people saying she hasn't done GMA in so long?

That was my reaction too. Lets add a few more.

Not yet. Just saw some casting calls for NYC lambs.

MTV special (85,709) by Shezz from Pk
So Mariah is apparently filming an MTV special on the 14th in NYC. How exciting. Sorry if this is already posted - don't see anything up yet.

Re: Mariah vs. Michael (85,601) (85,605) by Shezz from Pk
Damn. Buble might have a stronger first week no matter how much promo she does when she gets back to the US, which I don't think will be extensive. It will be interesting to see if the sales are better than MIAMTEC. General industry sales have gone down since then as well. Fingers crossed for a #1 debut. Looks tough.

So frigging totally should.

Re: Caution tracklist (85,508) (85,511) by Shezz from Pk
It seems like this album will be a little like E=MC2 in that it seems like a good collection of singles. I am a little bummed out at there being only 10 tracks. I know a lot of people wanted that here but for me, the more the songs the more MC I get and even most of the fillers are often very satisfying. I wish there atleast 10 because it feels like we've nearly heard half the album already.

I am particularly looking forward to hearing Portrait, the traditional introspective closer we have come to expect from an MC album. Seems like that might have some indepth song writing that the currently released songs are missing. Did the Diane Warren song make this highly selective 10 song cut? Seems tough unless it is Portrait. Also looking forward to the Blood Orange number (one rumour that was true). Lastly I'm hoping some of the album tracks cross over the 3:30 min mark otherwise Caution will be a 30 minute album the way things are going.

Excited and hopeful.

Re: Voice appearance (85,459) (85,460) by Shezz from Pk
Wow RJ. Never have I read a better address to the current situation (re: her voice, her current efforts, her past, and most importantly the prevalent sentiments here - good intentioned as they may be). Every single word that you said is the absolute truth.

Re: Track list snippets (85,445) (85,458) by Shezz from Pk
Anybody else heard the rumour that she's going to be releasing a second part to Caution next year, hence the 10 song track list for now? I highly doubt it.

Re: For pure indulgence... (85,443) (85,457) by Shezz from Pk
I would lovvvvve to see her on Wendy. Everybody would lose it including Wendy. She'll probably acknowledge knowing J Lo first than going on Wendy sadly.

Re: Lips? Lol (85,419) (85,431) by Shezz from Pk
Sadly it is true. Even though here tone is getting a little better (at times), she cant hold notes and needs to keep cutting them short, hence the ey ey eys and uhh uhh uhhs. You can see her try and go for some belts and notes and immdiately cut them short. I hope the problem is reversible or fixable. She has extensive touring planned, I pray it doesn't get worse in time. She was nailing the Emotions intro during the SSF tour and you can see her try and then hold back now which is painful and sad to watch. I can actually understand the lipping at the major award shows and the pre recorded whistles now because try as she may, she very often can not be sure if she can do it. If it were just the drinking that was causing it I'm sure she'd change things up. It is deeper than that. Love and the best for her always.

Re: Mariah in Manila (85,340) (85,350) by Shezz from Pk
Her tone is definitely getting a little better and she seems alive and confident but is it just me or is she mostly cutting her notes very short? The belts in MIH in the "if you believe within your soul" bit seem really short these days. Lot of other places too where she was doing really well previously - specially in the SSF tour. Over touring? Album process?

Re: The Voice (85,246) (85,250) by Shezz from Pk
That would be amazing if she advised them all. I wonder if it is only a one episode thing. Did anyone catch the recent Voice clip where two contestants sang ABMB (in a showdown or whatever it's called) and Blake friggin Shelton said he never heard that song before. All the other judges specially Adam Levine went off on him and he said that he doesn't really listen to Mariah Carey and has only heard her Christmas song. Now he deserves an "I don't know him".

Re: Album bundles (85,244) (85,249) by Shezz from Pk
Is Roc Nation responsible for this or Epic? I suppose it is a mix but Epic didn't push the previous stuff much plus M probably wasn't in the zone. Maybe Roc Nation is doing a lot because this is their first project with her? Is her current manager Melissa under Roc Nation?

Re: ? (85,237) (85,243) by Shezz from Pk
Why can't the negativity just be ignored instead of being constantly addressed and thus creating more of a cycle?

Re: The Voice (85,231) (85,236) by Shezz from Pk
I wish she was on Kelly's team though. Would have loved to see Kelly fan girling over her. Hope they get to interact. Never really followed that show except for YouTube clips so I don't know how that works.

Re: Big news (85,169) (85,173) by Shezz from Pk
Has to be a tour. What else is there left to announce? It feels like she has been touring a lot already so this really won't be news per se.

Re: Realize (85,150) (85,155) by Shezz from Pk
You are absolutely right. She has truly come a long way from her dark years and you can she has been putting in the work. I think most of us were expecting Caution to become her next TEOM but I really don't think that's realistic now.
People talk about Cher getting one of her biggest hits in her 50s with Believe but then that was also in the 90s when the landscape of the music industry was very different, still open and accepting of older artists.
The question is does she really need to follow current music trends and produce more of the regular fast food like fodder? Other than following the current trends I think it is also due to the fact that she has evolved and changed as an artist (for better or for worse). I'm just glad I can still enjoy her for who and what she is now but I'll always want her to do even better.

Re: Distance - my theory (for laughs) (85,132) (85,139) by Shezz from Pk
I couldn't agree more. Universal, non specific lyrics are the best. I guess there's a thin line between self expression and self indulgence. I long for the days of lyrical depth and maturity too and I'm hoping that the album cuts which M probably doesn't think are commercial enough will provide us with that. "Half past" is less American but not completely alien to them either I suppose plus it helped her to complete her rhyme.
Be that all as it may I still am enjoying all three songs still. They're certainly growers.
