I think that performing gets MC all wound up. She should stop performing at least until December to concentrate album projects, being in the studio, and moving into her new home.

As I always say, more casual clothes looks so good on her. Beautiful pics. Beautiful Mariah.

Did you guys see the new TMZ video? Mariah looks the most relaxed in like a really really long time. She's even chewing a gum (or something else). I'm so happy for her.

The Revival Of Mariah Carey (113,684) by Bill from the UK
Good post. The issue I have is there is a whole generation now who only know her as this extravagant diva, who shuffles around like some aging silver screen actress in denial about her fading youth. They know her for a Christmas song that swings by every year, defrosting, and being a diva. They didn't see If It's Over on SNL. They didn't witness the Daydream tour (I attended London by the way). They didn't get swept up in Joy to the World at St John the Divine. They see her getting wheeled out every so often to lip sync, grumble about the bad lighting, have a pop at J.Lo, and then get carried away as the Butterfly outro plays.

The bad now outweighs the good.

The entire ensemble screams "Emancipation of Mimi". She appears cool, relaxed, and stylish while maintaining her fashionable look. If only her singing voice matched this awesome appearance. Please, take a long enough break, rest, and relax dahhling.

The Revival Of Mariah Carey (113,682) by Jamie from UK
This is the problem now, the negativity starts to over shadow the greatness. Most fans on here this past week have been honest and truthful about her current state and by some it's been seen as bashing. All we want for Mariah is for her to be remembered for how great she was, and to have the respect she so deserves. We are still fans, probably even more so than the yass queens because we truly care about Mariah and her legacy. I'm at the point now if she were to bow out and call it a day I'm cool with that. It doesn't mean I don't believe in her, I just don't want her to be ridiculed and ruin her legacy. I was listening to Dreamlover the other day whilst out on a walk, and I got a feeling of not being able to relate to that Mariah with the way she is at the moment, to me it's like she's lost her personality, and I can't match the two together. Whilst only a brief feeling it occurred to me that if I'm feeling like this as a super fan then the general public only see what they see now. To me there's always been two Mariah's pre and post breakdown that I've had difficulty matching up but at the moment she's neither of these which is even more difficult for me to process.

Here It For All (113,681) by TJ from Norway
Is it the range, or the nasal metallic sound that is the problem with her voice these days? I tried to listen to the same song a couple of weeks ago, but I had to turn it off, because the sound of her voice just hurt my ears. It is not pleasant to listen to.

2010 voice (113,680) by Giovanni from USA
If Mariah were to revive her voice I would just wish she could sound like she did in 2010 on her second Christmas album. Perfect angelic tone and strong.

The Revival Of Mariah Carey (113,679) by Giovanni from USA
If Mariah has no plans to retire and wants to be successful again and wants to get her voice back I think naming her next album The Revival Of Mariah Carey would truly be the best album title of her career and would make a statement. I thought when she released her memoir The Meaning Of Mariah Carey that it would have been an excellent album title. I wish Mariah would get a new circle of people/team. I would like her to rest more and work on her voice and come back with a new album in 2027 or 2028. I was so sad and angry at all the horrible comments I read on social media regarding her recent performance at T&Co. She was getting dragged left and right even commenting on her hair. She definitely has lost respect from the public and not just as of now, for awhile. Sadly she's seen as a joke to many as it's all about the glamour and less about her voice. I hope those of you who are religious can keep Mariah in your prayers and ask God to help and protect her. We already lost MJ and Whitney we cannot lose MC.

Here It For All (113,678) by Giovanni from USA
I agree Bobby, what needs to happen is for Mariah to get the nodules removed. I already had posted that I wouldn't say anything about it anymore but after reading the comments on social media regarding her performance Tiffany &Co. I had to. Mariah needs an intervention and someone to tell her like it is. I want the best for her and don't want her to ruin her legacy. I know she can do it but she needs a new circle of people and a new team.

Here It For All (113,677) by Bobby A from United States
I listened to the ballad HFIA today and you can tell MC's 90s voice is still there underneath all that is ailing her vocal chords. I hope MC finds a doctor who can help improve accessing her range again. I believe miracles can happen if we only have faith the size of a mustard seed.

Glitter 25th anniversary (113,676) by Stacey from USA
Lead the Way is ballad perfection, much like Till the End of Time. No touchy touchy. Leave it alone. Release things that never saw the light of day. She needs to embrace Glitter and the amazing music we got that sadly got overshadowed by her breakdown and the 9/11 tragedy.

Glitter 25th anniversary (113,675) by Lambi from USA
During my pathetic adolescent years of dating my "first love" and the typical break up then make up teenage couples go through, I would routinely cry to:

"I'd given up hope
Losing the faith that love
Could be mines to treasure"

I was so unbelievably dramatic. LMAO. This is why I'm ride or die for MC. She's really been there for me, it's deep.

Glitter 25th anniversary (113,674) by Tijl from Belgium
"Lead the Way" is out of this world, or even this universe. When I play it to friends they are gobsmacked. It is by far her most impressive vocal performance. I cherish the recording but attempting a live version in her current state would do more damage than the New Years' 6Eve debacle. Once upon a time she was above anyone in her field. She will always be in my heart but we should all accept that real artistry has its time and place.

Glitter 25th anniversary (113,672) by Lainsky from Philippines
I'm not sure if I will laugh when I read this, but I found myself smiling as I did. Somehow, I agree with the sentiment. I really love "Lead The Way". If it means she has to lip-sync, that's fine, as long as it doesn't "Make It Happen", or ruin it, as you said.

Glitter 25th anniversary - Reflection live (113,671) by Lainsky from Philippines
I am not a fan of Reflection, especially when it was sung in the movie. However, I love this live rendition. I will listen to it again and might have grown on me. This is my second least favorite track from the album, just above "Twister".

Glitter 25th anniversary (113,670) by Edward from USA
I've always said, if you can't improve a classic or at least match it, leave it alone. The same goes for any cover. We had enough with her take on "One More Try", and that was over a decade ago. She should just release any unused material from that era.

Mariah should absolutely not attempt any sort of remake or "live studio" version of Lead the Way. That song is perfect and 2026 Mariah will catastrophically ruin it if she even attempts to go near it. If she attempts to sing that final run live it would probably kill her.

The real reason Mariah gets no respect (113,666) by Lambi from USA
In a way, I sort of agree, she may have been downplaying its significance. It's about legends, and she is unequivocally one. On one hand, it is objectively unfair, but on the other hand, she's been robbed so many freaking times that she's probably been numb for a while to the lack of impartiality. It's nothing she hasn't experienced before, so she just defaults to the nonchalant, "I don't really care."

Glitter 25th anniversary (113,665) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia
Rerelease the album with bonus tracks:
1. Loverboy (Firecracker Original Version)
2. Out Here On My Own
3. Lilies Blues (Mariah was the one singing the child part so I'm sure she sang the whole song too)
If her vocals are in good form, then do a live studio performance of Lead The Way or even Glitter Unplugged. We never got to see her perform full version of Never Too Far, Reflections, Didn't Mean To Turn You On and All My Life. So this is the perfect time to do it.
