Celine, Mariah and lip synching (107,014)

Celine, Mariah and lip synching (107,004)
by Edward from USA
| |
|
|
Mariah doesn't owe anyone anything. If she chooses to stand there and lip-sync poorly, it's up to her devoted fans if they want to pay for it and pretend she's singing. She has two young children who need her full attention, and she doesn't have time for extensive rehearsals. Caring for her babies is demanding, so don't be so judgmental. It's clear she doesn't care much, so why should you? She wants her money now, and there's nothing wrong with that. Has it occurred to you that maybe Mariah is just preserving her voice so she can still hum when she's 58? As real fans, you should buy multiple tickets and celebrate her now that she can at least still walk on stage and smile. Leave your negativity at the door, please.

Infinity video (106,887)

What about the video was great in concept? The scenes that were in the teaser that didn't show up in the final video would have been better than the live shots.

Infinity video (106,884)
by Robert-Anthony from United States
| |
|
|
You can't deny that the video for Infinity is one her most well thought out videos. Probably better than GTFO and With You. Those two videos received mediorce video treatments.
By the way, Tayla Parxx, Infinity co-writer, made me watch the video today because she is hotter than a firecracker at Normani for not giving her proper album credit for the song Insomina which she co-wrote with Normani, Victoria Monet, Brandy, and Stargate. However, Normani delivers Tayla another low blow by giving her songwriting credit in a interview this week and said that she hadn't seen Tayla in awhile.

What’s left? (106,883)
by C from United States
| |
|
|
For Daydream30, what's left unused/unreleased/in the vault that we want? I wouldn't mind a hybrid album of Daydream and Ugly Daughter, it could be sequenced in the order the made the songs or a thematic paring. For example, if she was working on ABMB during the day and Dememted during the night, those songs can be sequenced together. Call the hybrid project "Maladaptive Daydream".
Daydream rehearsal footage. We're more likely to get tour footage from this show because she would be less critical of the vocals (why I believe we will never get [Rainbow] or [Charmbracelet] tour footage).
She will likely make Looking In the acapella release like she did with Outside on [Butterfly] or [Music Box] on MB. However, I'd love to have the album version of Fantasy be released acapella. There is so much going on in that song that it needs to be fully appreciated.
Have we ever understood why the full Daydream photoshoot has never been released? Why was only 1 picture used for artwork and a single? We need to see the whole shoot. There are lq outtakes that suggest there are several pics in the shoot
I'd love to hear some [Daydream] demos or different takes of songs.
If indeed the OSD video is the actual recording of the song, release the entirety of the footage so we can see how the song came together in real time.

May Céline inspire Mariah? (106,882)
by C from United States
| |
|
|
Why do lambs do this? You said, "Mariah's not interested in selling out stadiums anymore." How do you know that? Are you on her team? Who books a venue to perform and doesn't want it to sell out? You all say these counter-intuitive things to make Mariah seem so above it all. To paraphrase Whitney, "It's called show business." Mariah isn't getting on stage because she loves performing (her last few years on stage show us that). She needs the money. She has bills to pay like we all do.

May Céline inspire Mariah? (106,848)
by Brandon from USA
| |
|
|
I totally agree with Shezz when he says that Mariah is fine doing what she's doing. She's not interested in selling out stadiums anymore. She's happy with doing shows here and there throughout the year and then popping up at Christmas time to collect her coins. I don't get the hunger to master her craft like Celine has right now. Celine could have just lipped her way through entire shows like MC is doing right now but she is hungry to be the best and not ok with deceiving her audience. Celine also has always admitted that the older she gets, her voice has changed and she can't sing like she did when she was younger. MC would never admit the significant changes in her voice. It all comes down to confidence. Celine is confident and MC is not. Celine has done the work to become a dynamic performer and MC has regressed in her craft in my opinion. I'll always champion for MC but she has to get off autopilot and clock in.

Lol. Randy it is an easy way for her to make a lot of money in a short amount of time. MC is going to do something to celebrate 30 years of AIWFIY and Merry Christmas this year. By the way, has anyone noticed that her net worth has decreased from 500 million to 350 million according to various websites? Not releasing an album in 6 years, has really affected her net worth. I hope MC16 is one of the biggest sellers of 2025. It is going to be very interesting next year for album sales if Taylor Swift does not take a break from releasing new music after her Eras Tour.

You said everything that needed to be said. I wish someone on Mariah's payroll would sit her down and tell her this. What it says to me is that commercial, general public, chart success is important to her (like it is to any performer). It's also important to the lambs - look how crazy and braggadocios they get in December. So the whole "she's done everything", "Mariah doesn't care about charts/has nothing to prove" argument is a pure lie. If she would put the same energy into new, smart, collaborations and her dead stage performances, she would be on the right track.

I realize MC has been silent. Then I realized this is Merry Christmas 30. Please no. I can't take any more promotion of that song. I can't take any more versions of that song. I can't take any more anecdotes about that song. Even the public makes jokes that it's overexposed. Longtime fans know when it's quiet she's working on something. I already feel she's narrowing her legacy to being a whistling Christmas act. Didn't we just get an anniversary edition with the nutcracker whistles? Oh no. The thought of an extra, extra festive AIWFCIY makes me wanna stop taking my lithium and date Charlie Sheen.

E=MC2 / Bye Bye (106,874)
by C from United States
| |
|
|
Bye Bye was mid, at best, WBT clone. That it got to #19 on the charts was a testament to the great momentum of TMB and the heavy album promo than the songs own merits. I remember reading a review from a listening party that said BB was a cross between Breakdown and One Sweet Day. Then I heard it months later and was severely disappointed. It would be interesting for her to bring it back in a live show but in a completely re-tooled, slowed way.

E=MC2 / Bye Bye (106,871)
by Randy from USA

I wish you all would stop sniveling about E=MC2. Just kidding. But it does hurt me because I absolutely adore Bye Bye and you all treat it like it's in the same arena as Gangum [sic] Style. Mariah too. She recently said "they should've released Migrate, hello" but yet she performed Bye Bye on American Idol, Oprah and GMA. She was wit it. The lyric is relatable and her adlibs in the last section after the whistle makes everyone think they sing. I had my niece and nephew scream it to the top of their lungs and I would roll all the windows down and they would wave and sing to the cars Bye Bye. Bye bye bye bye bye bye. So from this day forth you all will let this regret about Bye Bye go. I have Right to Dream.

by Randy from USA

|

Mariah is a rebuilding project at this point. The first thing that has to go is the diva like antics. She has to drop the mermaid gowns. The obsession with lighting, hair and make up. Learn to play an instrument, like piano or guitar. She has been saying I'm a terrible piano player for how many years? Long enough to learn the same chords used in all of pop music. My real MCArchives family, listen to the instrumental of We Belong Together. It's four chords. I can play it. And I'm a terrible piano player. Toni Braxton plays piano. Madonna learned guitar. She has the money for a one on one teacher. Once she learns that, she can sit on stage and sing a new song followed by an unplugged version of one of her hits on a talk show. People will respect and love that.

I sure do hope so. Her creativity has been on a creative high lately. I believe the Lambs won't be disappointed about what MC has been cooking in the studio. We know she has had 6 years to give us a Thriller type of album. Lol, Edward.
The BET Awards are this Sunday. Maybe MC will join Muni Long on stage for the Made For Me remix.

I'm currently at this music-related conference. I spoke with this woman who is a biographer/historian of women musicians, so of course I bring up Mariah. She tells me that she is voting member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction committee. She told me about the woman who gave an impassioned speech on why Mariah should be inducted and the people cried. Then there is a music journalist who is here. I walk up to him and say, "Hey, Alan. I'm a huge Mariah Carey fan. In 1997 you told the Baltimore Sun this about Mariah..." Shocked, he laughs, and we chat about Mariah and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame - he, too, is a voting member.

Bruno Mars is on the table too. I think MC has finally realized that she is going to have to step out of her comfort zone and collaborate with new producers. I am all for an album with songs with from Bruno Mars, Anderson Paak, Rai Khalil, and Solange. Her recording time period for this album is going to be her longest time yet from 2021-2025.

I don't like the processing in B and M's vocals. I couldn't even tell that was Monica in the second verse. Maybe that affect works in Ariana's voice, but it made B & M sound like AI. It is a fabulous song though. This type of mid-tempo is what I would love to hear from Mariah.

Ya it would have been a fun duet. The remix is slightly different than the original although mostly same probably because of the chart rules. Instead of Ariana doing the verses Brandy and Monica takes turn in verse 1 and 2 with Ariana doing the chorus and backgrounds. The bridge is new and the outro is longer with new ad libs.

Can I ask a real question? What does all of this defense do for you? You have crafted an entire defense that sounds absolutely fantastical. What unspoken truths don't you want to say out loud that you've been compelled to craft this argument to provide some cognitive dissonance in order to remain a "real lamb"? I want to understand the psychology behind this "slay, queen" mindset in the lambily.

She has been practicing lip synching (106,775)
by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway
| |
|
|
I think what has happened the last couple of years, is that Mariah has had a very good lip synching coach. We all know Celine Dion is the master of lip synching, nobody accuses her of doing it, but we all know she has almost whole concerts with just lip synching.
Mariah is relaxing on stage now, doesn't try to pretend to sing live, just doing the emotions in her face without lifting an eyebrow, and it works, it actually looks like she is singing, it works brilliantly.
The playback is her real curent voice, but to not experience the fear of being caught out, she does that now, I sing it's soothing for her.
And, by the way, Mariah is being seen the heroine in this Jen**fer Lo**z downfall, and that might have something to do with new found respect Mariah is recieving in the world right now. Mariah called out the girl she doesn't know in a very classy way 25 years ago. Karma is a bi**h, isn't it?

Praying for the album (106,779)
by C from United States
| |
|
|
I actually don't want her in album phase right now. I like her hopping in remixes (she needs to time them better). Madonna been doing the same thing. I'd like yo see Mariah collaborate on random songs and do some soundtracks. That way, she can create music without all of the pressure of having to promote and carry the outcomes of its success or failure-primarily the failure. It would also give her a chance to update her sound and experiment - she's got to get out of the rut she's been in since 2005. I'd love for her to collaborate with international artists. Jump in a remix with a popular Australian artist. Collab and sing the hook on a track of a popular Asian artist. She could do so much more without having to do a lot. There is so much emphasis placed on #1 hits, but we would all take a solid top 10 hit from her that actually stays in the charts for a while.

If a long time between albums happened in the 90s, I wonder what would be MC's response for the long wait. MC would probably say that she wants to record more songs to sequence the album perfectly or correct some vocal moments. Being the perfectionist that she is, it has to be really hard for her in 2024. She has to have at least 50 songs recorded by now. Right?

Tiny Desk (106,778)
by C from United States

I say no because Mariah is so uptight and stiff that she wouldn't be any fun. It's like her carpool karaoke - it was stiff, dull, and she wasn't warm or engaging. And then we have the vocals. TD is about a vibe and being in a moment. She'd want to move cameras and lighting to play into her diva antics and insecurities. Her setlist would be dull and predictable. When it comes to banter, she'd either be distant and muted like she was on the Jennifer Hudson show, or she'd be manic and rambling. Lastly, she's so in her head about her vocals that I could see it taking 6 months for TD episode to come out because she'd want to edit, dub, etc. Plus, TD is an all live venue, what 5-7 songs would Mariah sing that would 100% live that she'd be okay releasing to the public?

I hate the way she often speaks in a non-definitive way. It can be hard to know if she's being fully honest - especially in print. Why not just say "no"? Her "who said that?" answer kinda gave me the impression that she didn't want to or couldn't speak about what may have been some truth to the rumor (a meeting with Lauryn, disagreement, label issue, etc).

Finally a Lamb who knew the right questions to ask. We found out that the Crystal Ball Lauren Hill song was just Lamb myth. There is Rainbow tour and MTV promotion footage that she is looking for. And last but not least, a new music is coming soon. MC said that she was in the studio this week with someone who shall be nameless. It is really good that she is revisiting Rainbow before she releases a new album since it was such a turning point in her career.

I agree. Unlike her solo versions of "Whenever You Call" and "Against All Odds", Mariah wasn't in her best vocal form during this period, and it shows in these previously unheard vocals. I'm not particularly impressed, but I'm not disappointed either. She has given us some real gems on "The Rarities".

Right. She sang the 2nd verse in such a lazy way to me than the first verse. Something is just off with her second verse. Anybody notice that 98 Degrees background are very prevalent and extra loud on the solo version than the album version? I think all three harmonized together on the album version.

The question becomes what do they mean by "original mixing problems"? Does that mean the mixes we've known for 25 years are not what she initially wanted? Are these new mixes what 2024 MC prefers?
I just realized that on Spotify the OG album has been updated with these new mixes and that's annoying. I was listening to the climax note of the Vulnerability interlude and the ending of that sustained note is missing something that was in the OG.

Mariahtrends on X is reporting that MC worked with her engineers to correct original mixing problems for the anniversary release. I always felt that the sound quality was not like Butterfly or Daydream. Did she rush the mixing process as well to be done with Sony?
