Re: New Vegas leg wish list and B-sides show (65,517) (65,568) by 123 from USA Hi Sheila, yes it's been 80% live since forever. She lips the same parts. I'm ok with the first chorus being lipped as she needs time to catch her breath and come in big on the second verse like she has been doing lately, but the lipped belting parts need to go. I don't mind them anymore but her live voice outshines her lipped parts on the song which I didn't think I would ever see the day that would happen again. If you watch her live 99 version of My All from her Chicago concert from her Rainbow tour, she doesn't go for the F5 belts either, but just improvises and instead uses the rest of what she has access to still give a great performance. It's actually my favorite My All performance of the 90s. I agree with the B side concert needing to happen like since forever, but up until this year, I don't think she was capable of delivering those songs effectively. I do need Can't Let Go in full again, it's my favorite ballad of hers. Even though it's partially lipped, I love LTT in Vegas. I never thought she would do that song again.

Re: Article: "American Idol" contestants react to Mariah Carey (65,545) (65,567) by 123 from USA Lazaro is a shady, mean spirited individual. I'm sure he got picked on as a kid, but your disability doesn't excuse you from just being a decent individual. Not everyone in the world is out to pick on him. You can't be on a televised singing contest, not prepare at all (he said he never prepared his songs), do badly and not have it pointed out. Mariah was trying her best to be nice to him and tell him he kept singing in the same key when there was a key change in the bridge of the song. He was just riding the wave and didn't take winning seriously and had excuses after excuses. He waited until they got backstage to shade Mariah by telling her she had her bad songs as well, remember Glitter? Really? Loverboy went #2 and the Glitter album is multiplatinum. It's funny because when Mariah talked about his being courageous for being on the show, he said he preferred to be critiqued about his performance, yet when she did just that, he sunk his shady claws in her backstage. So she can't win with him. Which is it Lazaro, you want constructive criticism or you want people to only tell you nice things? She walked on egg shells when she critiqued him yet he still was disrespectful to her. Yet she's the one called a diva. Where is your music since you're so great? I missed your song on the charts. Mariah's flops would be dream numbers for him. Here is his exit interview (my receipts) of him shading Mariah throughout the whole thing. (Tuesday 23 August 2016; 20:32)

Re: Stella take note (65,540) (65,566) by 123 from USA I agree Marissa. I was confused as well. She hasn't sounded this good this consistently since the 90's and even then she didn't do as many shows/tours as she has this year. Before I was always holding my breath as to what vocal state she was going to be in and how bad she was going to sound. Her tone is very Rainbow era now (sweet and honey like) and her vocals are very smooth and fluid. She has even started belting again. She is just missing her upper belts and whistle register but I'm good with her continuing to tour as she seems to really take her vocals seriously and seems to want regain what she has lost previously. Can't wait to hear how she sounds for this latest Vegas run and especially her SA leg of her tour as she had a lot of great vocal moments on her European leg. (Tuesday 23 August 2016; 20:08)

Re: LA Reid's tweet (65,541) (65,565) by 123 from USA The world doesn't revolve around Mariah. That tweet sounds like he is referring to someone who has been begging him to sign them and he keeps telling them no. They have no reason to drop her anyway as she has already gave them another compilation album (1#s to Infinity) that she promoted more than her last two albums combined. Plus, she is releasing new music very soon so that doesn't sound likely. (Tuesday 23 August 2016; 20:02)

Re: LA Reid's tweet (65,556) (65,564) by RibbonB from USA Remember when Tamar was allegedly debunking her breakup rumors by using Mariah's break up song Always Be My Baby? Lol. Well now allegedly Tamar and Vince had a physical altercation. Ha, I was just hoping we wouldn't see that on the Carey Cannon front and here it comes with M's Calabasas neighbors. Maybe LA did drop her. Even her husband's own TV show dropped her. Harsh year for her. I have only heard her sing on tv performances I don't get the appeal, but people say her music is good. I'm sure we will hear more on one of her reality shows. (Tuesday 23 August 2016; 19:51)

Article: Mariah Carey "threw a laptop out the window" (65,563) by Steve from USA I call major BS on this one, because Mariah has said many times that she loves Beyonce and they are friends. Silly. (Tuesday 23 August 2016; 18:59)

Article: Mariah Carey "threw a laptop out the window" (65,562) by Malcolm from Asia This is ridiculous, who the hell are making this stupid rumors. I can't with the hate that Mariah is getting through the years, yes some things were her fault but this? It's like some of the media are just riding along with that hate by putting bizarre stories and not really aware of Mariah, not even researching. Just because Mariah have this diva/shady reputation, it's so easy for them to write whatever they want because people will believe it. And they really did this in time with the whole Nick's sex stories. Come on, give her a break. (Tuesday 23 August 2016; 18:40)

Precious (65,561) by RibbonB from USA Oxygen aired "Precious" last night. The movie is good, but so sad and disgusting at the same time. That is one reason I really miss MDJ because they used to keep us informed when Mariah movies etc would air on the TV. I am so interested to know what Mariah's character will be like on Empire. Her part in Precious was brief but good. (Tuesday 23 August 2016; 18:38)

Re: Article: The Lyric interview (65,557) (65,560) by Carlos from Brazil I would love a Mariah and Madonna collaboration. If it's not true they shouldn't use Mariah's name as the interviewed. (Tuesday 23 August 2016; 15:20)

Re: Duet (65,555) (65,559) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I can't dea with that rumor. It's just so extra haha. If we even assume it's true, can you picture James playing "Crazy in love" while having sex, and then Mariah throwing the laptop out while screaming and waking out the door? It's just too much hahha. I don't think it's true though. The only source that could give such a story is the Bulochnikovs because they live with her and how would anyone else know what happens inside the house. That being said, it's definitely not true, Stella wouldn't risk her position until she has her Kardashian fame. (Tuesday 23 August 2016; 15:15)

Re: LA Reid's tweet (65,550) (65,558) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Hahah no, his very next post was "this is not about Meghan" and he tagged her. LA only concentrates on Meghan, so he wouldn't diss her. (Tuesday 23 August 2016; 14:01)

Article: The Lyric interview (65,557) by Butterfly from Trust me, it's not true. Old skool lamb here. (Tuesday 23 August 2016; 13:44)

Re: LA Reid's tweet (65,548) (65,556) by Licia from USA I read on Twitter that they are claiming La Reid was referring to Tamar Braxton. If it is about Tay I'm confused because she is in fact signed to Epic. Unless they dropped her because her last album wasn't a big hit (which is a shame because the album was phenomenal in my opinion). If he's talking about Mariah, that surely would tarnish their personal and business relationship. (Tuesday 23 August 2016; 13:32)

Re: Duet (65,543) (65,555) by MusicfanJ from Germany Haha Mimi L. did you read about the thing with the laptop here on the news? Sounds like a rumor, but if it's true we will never get a duet with Beyoncé. I wish Mariah would do a single with Alicia Keys. (Tuesday 23 August 2016; 13:24)

Re: New promo (65,542) (65,554) by MusicfanJ from Germany You're right, in this position the pic looks even weirder. I'm sure Hugh Hefner loves the promo. The retro pic from the tour was even better. I mean she was dressed on that record. (Tuesday 23 August 2016; 13:21)

Will Mariah add a new song to Vegas? (65,553) by Sheila from United States I wonder what song. Infinity is so over, it would be awesome if each night she did a b-side fan fave. (Tuesday 23 August 2016; 12:48)

New rumor (65,551) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The new ridiculous rumor is Mariah threw out a laptop outside the window after James tried to play Beyonce's "Crazy in Love" during their love making session. She apparently went screaming out the door. Now, first of all, that song is ruined. Secondly, I don't believe a word being said here, because this is ridiculous and where is Mariah's publicist/manager/BFF now? Or will she only clap back at rumors attacking her and her daughter? (Tuesday 23 August 2016; 12:43)

Re: LA Reid's tweet (65,541) (65,550) by darrian liu from taiwan Looking at the song reference, it's probably Meghan Trainor. (Tuesday 23 August 2016; 11:32)

Re: New promo (65,542) (65,549) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Wow. That looks hella weird. Makes me wonder if Mariah is ever involved or consulted when it comes to the the visual aspect of promoting her brand. I mean if she is then this is just self-sabotage. Though I recall her commenting on the creepily photoshopped YTKWTD single art that she has no power over that. Like how is that so? I mean she is the artist after all, so how can she not have any say on these things? Just how dis-involved can she get, or how involved is she allowed to be? (Tuesday 23 August 2016; 10:18)

Re: LA Reid's tweet (65,541) (65,548) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I don't think L.A. would have the guts to write that about Mariah haha. Maybe someone is claiming to be signed on to Epic but L.A. is clarifying that it isn't true? Not sure though. (Tuesday 23 August 2016; 9:53)

Article: The Lyric interview (65,547) by Malcolm from Asia Wow I didn't know about this. What happened with the Mariah-Madonna collaboration? (Tuesday 23 August 2016; 9:21)

Re: New promo (65,534) (65,546) by enwar00 from usa Only because that's not what Mariah wants. She wants sexy showgirl. (Tuesday 23 August 2016; 8:20)

Re: Article: "American Idol" contestants react to Mariah Carey (65,518) (65,545) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines I don't have anything against Lazaro, nor do I care for his recent comments. I think his story is inspiring, but honestly, seeing it from a talented performer standpoint, him even making it to the top 10 was a huge mistake. The fact that he ended up as the last guy standing was a travesty. None of the guys were great that season, but he just got by with his boyish good looks and great backstory. Was the voice there? Maybe, as he had this diamond-in-the-rough appeal. However, he just wasn't ready for the bigtime. You could almost hear the amount of hard work that went into coaching him to put out a passable performance at best. But then again by that time AI has already long lost its credibility as a singing competition, so I guess that didn't really matter. (Tuesday 23 August 2016; 4:12)

Re: New promo (65,532) (65,544) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines The airbrushing on Mariah's body on that is horribly obvious, especially the part around her tummy (check navel). Now I am not new to the internet, much less the reality that everyone benefits from photoshopping these days, but if we're being realistic, this is partly why she can't seem to catch a break. They should have stuck with the cropped, more PG version. This whole body shot just somehow distracts from what is supposedly the real spectacle of the show - her voice. (Tuesday 23 August 2016; 3:21)

Re: Duet (65,530) (65,543) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter That is actually a great idea. I'm totally here for a collaboration with Beyonce. Beyonce has been experimenting a lot nowadays and I like that. I don't necessarily love the entire albums she has released, but there are definitely some good songs. Plus if Mariah is going to collaborate with another big name female star, I'd rather it be someone current and relevant and Beyonce is as relevant as it gets now. (Tuesday 23 August 2016; 3:06)
