Year end record? (110,874)
by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

|

Hahah I am guilty of sometimes just leaving a random thought as if I'm leaving a voice note. But I appreciate you all entertaining it.

I have noticed that too. It's like we all knew 2025 would be the start of a new era. Bill, Dove, Lighty from China and Libra Lamb are back. We welcomed this year Giovanni, Lambi, and Baby from Dreamville. T is posting more this year. Randy came out of hibernation. Stacey makes me laugh. Terna and Shezz are great analysts. Mimi is our Tamron Hall with her great insight and commentary. Zachariah is my best friend now. Edward looks for my Saturday post to refute my claims. Lol. I don't want the number #1 slot at the end of the year. I want another board member to be #1. We are all family in the land of Mariah Carey.

Super Bowl (110,873)
by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
| |

Yes oh my gosh I didn't know about that and only stumbled upon that performance a few months back when it randomly popped up on my newsfeed and I got excited but once I played it I was like ugh what a missed opportunity. The performance was very meh.

Super Bowl (110,871)
by Lambi from USA

Mimi L, I thought about that too. And she actually did come close to a Super Bowl-esque gig in 2005. She did the NFL Thanksgiving game. She used it as a launchpad to promote DFAU. The whole thing felt haphazard though. The whole drum line theme was a mismatch to SIO and DFAU. It was too slow and dry. Plus, she just lip-synced (badly) over the original tracks. She was rather sick, but it was definitely a missed opportunity.
I wish she had taken the event seriously and gotten more sleep, it was such a huge production. I know Mimi, at this point, was trying not to cement herself in the 90s, but a quick medley of her up-tempos would've gone so hard. The NFL might've been testing her and possibly considering her to be the main act for an actual Super Bowl halftime show. And I think she failed, as she was never invited to be back on the main stage again. Well they sorta did last year for a Christmas number, but it was basically a pre-recorded music video, and it was obviously only for clout because it's her season.

Ya no Superbowl for Mariah. Her perfect opportunity would have been during TEOM era when she was feeling herself and on fire. But now she wouldn't have the stage presence to command such a huge stage. She definitely has the set list to perform but I don't think it's a pressure she wants or needs right now.

Year end record? (110,870)

It's fun answering a variety of topics. The same ongoing thread gets boring. I love how the lambily just share what they're excited and curious about, what they've discovered, or simply what they're thinking about. We can go from Mariah's outfit all the way to her psychological diagnoses on one page. Keep the random a** commentaries coming darlings. It's simply festive.

Mariah started lip syncing in 1994, towards the end of the year. The first I can remember is Without You at a Christmas special of Top of the Pops, then it was just downhill from that point on.

The 5 chosen Tommy producers (110,865)
by Bobby A from United States
| |
|
|
I just found a Barry Mann Brown Eyed Woman 45 record today. The song is very souful like Can You Hear Me? Finding his record made me think about the five chosen producers for MC's first two albums. Tommy chose Rhett Lawrence, Narada Michael Walden, Ric Wake, Barry Mann, and Carole King. Why didn't he choose David Foster to collaborate with MC? I wonder what a Mariah Carey and David Foster collaboration would have sounded like in 1990-1992.

I believe MC could do it with Debbie Allen (choreography), L.A.Reid (setlist), JD (guest list), DJ Mustard (remixes and samples), Daniel Moore (musical direction), and Brett Ratner (director) partnering with MC to deliver a spectacular half-time show. I guess we will know on a smaller scale at the MTV Video Awards what MC can do vocally and performance wise. The world will be watching and on social media during and after her performance.

Super Bowl (110,858)
by Bill from the UK
| |
|
|
Top of the Pops had a long period where artists lip synced purely I believe for technical reasons. There was then a period when TOTP insisted everybody perform live. I assume the studio was moved to one that could better accommodate that. It was during the peak of Euro Pop so it was hilarious seeing the club singers trying to recreate their songs live, some I remember being terrible. And then it was an "either or" situation, throughout the late 90s, then almost everyone lipped after that point.

Super Bowl (110,853)
by Lambi from USA

I was wondering about that, why basically everyone lip-synced on TOTP. Was it a prerequisite or something? Apparently, when the show started in 1964, the British Musicians' Union had strict rules about live performances on television. To avoid conflicts over performance rights and royalties, the show used pre-recorded backing tracks, and artists mimed along.
But yeah, Mariah did lip-sync during her "prime" years. I remember one of the Open Arms performances was mimed in Europe, probably because of jet lag. That would've been an exception though, not the rule. She worked hard on her voice and took pride in singing concerts fully live until '96, which is why she was so offended when Howard Stern accused her of lip-syncing.

I'm a no on Mariah doing a Super Bowl performance. I just think she's past her prime and I don't know if she could deliver vocally. I think it would be a risk and any mess up would just be more ammo for haters. We're still recovering from that disastrous New Year's Eve performance so the last thing Mariah needs is negative coverage of a bad performance. Let Taylor Swift do it.
