The Mimi sessions (108,811) by Brian_S from UK/Netherlands Has anyone seen The Mimi Sessions? This is Mariah's current voice, I kinda like it how full her lower register sounds. (Thursday 22 May 2025; 02:07)

The Mimi sessions (108,810) by Stacey from USA Thoughts? (Thursday 22 May 2025; 01:20)

Live (108,809) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Nobody says anything about this? This is just what we want from her nowadays. This is pure artistry. It's all real and completely live. She is so amazing, and her ability and musicality are incomparable. Only one "but", we're not getting any more insane and great belting ever. That part of her voice is almost gone or not in a condition to be used outside the studio or a controlled environment. She won't run the risk. Also, the prompters are really necessary for her. She could look at us (the cameras) instead and she would look more natural and straightforward. I think it's a habit she has gotten used to and it makes her somehow feel safer on stage. Conclusion: I love her for this tiny bit of a performance. I feel fascinated right now to see the real talent she has (and how rarely she shares it with us.). (Thursday 22 May 2025; 01:19)

Article: Mariah Carey is set to announce Australian tour (108,787) by Edward from USA She had stated before that touring helped her voice get in shape. I guess nowadays tourring helps her preserve it, if you know what I mean. (Tuesday 20 May 2025; 17:07)

The Mimi session (108,807) by TJ from Norway Lovely concert. Well done. (Wednesday 21 May 2025; 23:24)

Lol (108,806) by Tony Lorenzo from UK Great fan you are. No appreciation for her age. Would you expect [Muhammed Ali] to get back in the ring bow and win? Mariah was at the very top vocally, for years. You can't stay there forever. No appreciation for her bipolar. Or the fact she has kids now and thus more important things to think about than whether people like you will criticise her performances. She's the queen and always will be. I cant wait to see her show this summer. It's about the camaraderie with other fans, and the music, which we all sing along too more than stand there listening to whether her vocals are perfect. Leave her alone and take the negativity elsewhere. (Wednesday 21 May 2025; 22:36) this is a reply to message 108,793

Lol (108,793) by Edward from USA I wouldn't even take a free ticket to one of Mariah's concerts these days, not with how she's been performing over the past few years. I've had the privilege of seeing her several times, and every show was magical. But this current version? No, thank you. What really gets me is that she has every resource at her disposal to take care of her voice and maintain at least a decent level of quality and range, but like you said, she should've taken it seriously a long time ago. Especially when her voice is really all she brings to the stage. To me, it feels like a lack of respect, just standing there, barely moving, showing no emotion and no soul at all. She's become more of a statue than a performer. I'm worried that by the time the booing begins, there won't be any way back for her. (Wednesday 21 May 2025; 02:18)

Mimi sessions (108,805) by Bobby A from United States I don't know what to say good about MC's vocals during her Mimi sessions video. She doesn't sound too good. Maybe I am wrong, but she sounded off key and flat. (Wednesday 21 May 2025; 21:12)

Mimi sessions (108,804) by Brad from USA No. This isn't going to help. Uh uh. They reflect the loss of elasticity in her vocals. It sounds like a piano wire about to snap. I mean, it's a good exercise for her chords, maybe, but nobody else needs to actually hear this stuff. I understand now why she lip syncs mostly now. Let us not think that used to be the case, because I have seen her in person many, many times to know that didn't used to be the case. Something has happened. I'm sad for her and yeah for us as fans. But we need to find a new way forward because this isn't working. I don't know why the "stiff persona" thing is occurring, maybe fear of being found out. But these "sessions" have now fully let the cat out of the bag. Maybe she's emancipating herself from having to do this any longer. Maybe that's the point. (Wednesday 21 May 2025; 21:01)

Mimi 20th anniversary session (108,803) by Randy from USA I thought that was amazing. Finally, what we've been asking for since MIAMTEC, raw unassisted vocals. Why can't she do that for her concerts? I know I know people want a show. That was a lot of hair and makeup for an unplugged session. But today I won't complain. I am thrilled. A+ Mimi. A+. (Wednesday 21 May 2025; 20:43)

The Mimi sessions (108,802) by Hanno van Leeuwen from The Netherlands I love love love the Mimi sessions. She sounds great. That is all she needs, a mic and a piano. Great job MC. (Wednesday 21 May 2025; 20:39)

The Mimi sessions (108,801) by Shezz from Pk Well that was a good surprise. Sounded as well as she can in her current voice - totally stripped. I was nervous when it started but then I said it's not really live. She obviously will only put it out there if she can pull it off. I wonder if there are more or it was just the one. (Wednesday 21 May 2025; 17:39)

Karaoke lounge (108,800) by Jamie from UK I just watched it. I had to skim through, it's quite upsetting, she can barely keep up with the rhythm on the songs, it's like someone on Karaoke not knowing the words and stumbling through it. Oh Mariah what is wrong? Please tell us. (Wednesday 21 May 2025; 17:35)

Mimi lounge (108,799) by Jamie from UK I've just seen the clip saying Mimi lounge out now. Was that really the best clip, she couldn't even say the words without slurring. What is going on? (Wednesday 21 May 2025; 17:27)

Lol (108,798) by Bobby A from United States We need a SZA collaboration to test how radio is feeling hearing MC on the radio again. A sample similar to Luther and 30 for 30 would be perfect. Anything SZA releases is a radio and a Hot 100 hit. (Wednesday 21 May 2025; 12:45) this is a reply to message 108,797

Lol (108,794) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Mariah is already a multi millionaires darling. She does't need to do voice trainig. This is not the 90's anymore. She can rely on pre-recorded track in which it's still her voice unlike other singer who used other singer's voice. All that matters is that she needs to look gorgeous on stage with the gowns, hair and make up. (Wednesday 21 May 2025; 02:56)

Biopic (108,796) by Sasha from Nomansland Do you think Mariah is respectful towards fans and other people when they spend money to see her on tours not singing live and looking numb or sedated? (Wednesday 21 May 2025; 09:22) this is a reply to message 108,767

Lol (108,786) by Terna from Nigeria Sounds like you're giving excuses for her. "She's not really a regular singer." Well then she needs to be a regular singer, if regular means being disciplined, getting training all over again, getting a voice coach that understands her situation (and preferably also a voice therapist in tow) and knows exactly what to do and how to go about it, having some form of a routine mapped out for her and seeing where it goes, because having this attitude and being a half assed singer without knowing the tricks of the trade is what put her in this problem to begin with. It is quite sad to see how much singing ability she has lost, literally everything. And then she keeps touring (with which voice exactly?). D'you know how grueling touring is on a normal voice that doesn't have nodules, talk less of one like hers that does - the reason why every time she toured it affected her voice negatively. For someone who's shows are all about the voice, she sure shouldn't be giving any performances on any stage whatsoever with how shot her voice is currently (call it as it is, we can all hear it). Standing there giving absolutely nothing on stage and thinking the audience would not notice? I am a true fan/Lamb or whatever you wanna call it, and Mariah has been getting on my nerves lately, I scroll right past any posts about her concerts, because I already know what to expect. How much more those who paid money to see her in person. She will soon be booed off that stage, then maybe finally jolt back to reality and seek professional help. (Tuesday 20 May 2025; 16:56)

Lol (108,792) by Lambi from USA I get your sentiment honestly. Mariah will never be a "regular" singer. She is actually just built different. She has too much creativity bubbling up and will delve in the process until 7 in the morning, making sure every note, chord progression, adlib, vocal layering, instrumentation is right. She will never be the Christina Aguilera or Celine Dion type that just sings. At the core, she just is a creator. That is God's spirit in her. I commend her for maximizing her gift in the studio. I've gotten over the lip syncing but I do agree with someone here who said at least make it believable. Mariah could actually be pretty great at lip syncing (ex. Fly Like A Bird Grammys, her and Whitney in the studio recording a rare version of WYB). Now she seems dead inside. I get everyone's frustrations. I think someone just needs to tell her how obvious it is that she's miming and to get over aging. She really doesn't want to form any more lines, therefore avoid any overly wrinkled singing face. As ridiculous as it seems, I actually believe this is what Mariah is doing. It makes perfect sense knowing she is eternally 12 and will hold on to being 12 at what ever measure.

Lol (108,782) by Lambi from USA I want to throw a jab, but that list is actually so funny LMAO. Why is everyone so unserious here? On all seriousness though, you can taper it down to Mariah just having a handicapped voice plus overworking. She's not really a regular singer, think of her process in masterclass where she hums and leads the band until they get it right, that then doing the production, vocal arrangements, tripling background vocals, staying up until 7 in the morning with the audio engineer. All that, times a million songs. But yeah I almost resented Mariah for never ever sounding like 96 Tokyo Dome live. But then I think about how her voice is literally heaven sent. It's like you will have the most beautiful voice ever but the trade is, you'll have nodules and it'll be super fragile, but you'll be gifted artistically though. Like everyone will be left in the dust. To simplify it. A regular singer would be training vocally for 2 hours. Mariah would meet with the band and write chord progressions for hours, humming - overworking her voice. Lead the producers to get things right - with her voice. Then hit up the background singers and arrange some adlibs. Again through her voice. Then keep editing and trying until her handicapped voice is worn out. That would be 10 or more hours. She did that since 84, that's more than 40 years of just giving it your all. Driven by the fear of being poor again and disappointing her fans and the label. The inevitable result is her voice being shot. She really did the best with what she got. Everyone needs to be grateful and give her, her well deserved flowers. (Tuesday 20 May 2025; 10:26)
