Re: June 17 Vision Of Love and My All Randy (63,611) by Ty from USA She sounds incredible at this show. I saw the show when she first started and was not impressed but now she sounds impeccable. (Monday 20 June 2016; 2:13)

Stage presence (63,610) by Musti from UK I've just had a rundown of some of her recent Vegas performances. I am glad she's decided to do Vegas and then SSFT. Her stage presence has improved significantly and it keeps getting better. I didn't even notice how she doesn't dance or move around much anymore. I know this is Vegas and there are a lot of stage theatrics going on but all one needs to do is compare this month to her first Vegas performance last year. I think she has finally become the live singer that she never was earlier in her career. I can't detect an ounce of stage fright. She's going for all the impromptu chest notes possible.

Mariah and John Legend (63,608) by Giovanni from USA Need to record a song together for her next album. They killed "With you I'm born again". (Sunday 19 June 2016; 22:58)

Make up (63,607) by Giovanni from USA Mariah needs to go back to using the make up she used in 2013. She looked fresh and youthful. The stuff she uses now ages her. Especially the eye shadow. (Sunday 19 June 2016; 22:54)

Ariana Grande (63,606) by Giovanni from USA [censored] Mariah wished her the best and hoped she could achieve longevity. That was more than enough. What else was she supposed to have said? "She's a great singer"? Ariana isn't even a good singer. [censored] So it's no wonder Mariah didn't praise her voice. I wouldn't have either. Mariah praises voices that are worthy of praise. For instance Beyonce. I don't like Beyonce but the woman can sing and give powerful vocals. She destroys Ariana vocally. (Sunday 19 June 2016; 22:51)

Happy Father's Day (63,603) by Licia from USA I forgot to wish the dads a happy Father's Day while I was being a meanie and a heathen. So happy Father's Day. (Sunday 19 June 2016; 18:48)

June 17 Vision Of Love and My All (63,602) by Randy from USA Vision of Love, the best I've seen her sound since the Jimmy Fallon impromptu. She does way too much growling and I still don't think it's impressive enough for the best singer of all time according to some. But there's no lip syncing. She appears to be getting some of her higher full voice belts back. I hope she's not overstraining doing more damage to her voice. But I definitely felt at one point thought she was done vocally and now watching a lot of these videos, there's hope. I wish she would stop singing the Classic Club Remix ending to My All and just do the damn album version but whatever. I'm proud of her for singing live and putting in the work to improve her full belting voice and not just rely on whistles to prove she's still got it. Here is My All in case you haven't seen it.

Re: It's finally over (63,598) (63,601) by Licia from USA It's not over. He still needs to divorce his wife. Lol. (Sunday 19 June 2016; 18:06)

Re: Why does it matter? (63,590) (63,600) by darrian liu from taiwan Ariana has a whistle register, but she rarely uses it in live settings. Live, she uses a really airy, strained high falsetto. Ariana has great potential but her technique hinders her. I'm kinda confused on why her team forced the comparisons at first because 21 year old Mariah is far above 21 year old Ariana technically. (Sunday 19 June 2016; 17:53)

Re: Demi (63,577) (63,599) by B from USA I saw Ariana's imitations on YouTube and she's a talented mimic. I'm not sure if she's a talented singer or just mimicking one. (Sunday 19 June 2016; 17:02)

It's finally over (63,598) by Ardis Logic from Earth It took long enough, but he finally signed the divorce papers. Now MC can finally move on with her fab life. She seems to be very happy about it. What in the world took so long? He was the one who filed in the first place. Anyway, just glad it's over and done. I can't wait to see her wedding gown. I'm sure she will be stunning. As for his little rap, I don't think anyone really cares about what he has to say, just be a good daddy to your kids and that's all he needs to worry about. (Sunday 19 June 2016; 15:16)

Re: "Vision of Love" 17 June 2016 (63,596) (63,597) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines I know. It's the best she's done it in a long time. Live through and through. So proud of her. This is the video I'd show naysayers blabbering on about how she can't sing anymore. (Sunday 19 June 2016; 13:49)

Re: "Vision of Love" 17 June 2016 (63,579) (63,596) by Ty from USA Wow. (Sunday 19 June 2016; 11:20)

New pictures (63,595) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah with John and Chrissy. Chrissy jamming to TMB. Mariah is really feeling this bra haha, she seems to be wearing it every day. Lastly this was her final look of the day or night. (Sunday 19 June 2016; 11:03)

Re: TGIFY 17-6-2016 (63,584) (63,594) by Ty from USA Beautiful just beautiful. (Sunday 19 June 2016; 10:58)

Re: "Vision of Love" 17 June 2016 (63,579) (63,593) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Beautiful performance. Confident and full tone. I don't know if people have been checking out recent Vegas footage, but there are some really lovely ones and maybe it's just me, but it's nice focusing on the music. (Sunday 19 June 2016; 9:59)

Re: Demi (63,577) (63,592) by darrian liu from taiwan Ariana can't sing? I have to disagree. Although she's miles away from Mariah, that doesn't mean she can't sing. She does have technical issues (one being the jaw-floppy thing Andrew mentioned, it's because her jaw is tense while singing, especially when singing runs), but that doesn't mean she can't sing. Just because someone isn't as good as Mariah, doesn't mean that person automatically can't sing. (Sunday 19 June 2016; 9:11)

The truth (63,591) by Malcolm from Asia Thank you for this. Though I always thought Demi has some vocals too but this entire thing is the best, only facts once and for all. It's crazy because Demi's fans on the comment section only responses with unnecessary and irrelevant things like ("Demi queen yasss") and curse words, they can't handle the truth lol. Kidding aside, this really address the entire thing and I hope other people who write off Mariah will see this. (Sunday 19 June 2016; 9:08)

Re: Why does it matter? (63,583) (63,590) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I couldn't agree more. They tried to copy her style, her melodies and everything in between. Just because she has a big voice, they thought why not brand her as the next Mariah. Once it backfired, they had to distance herself. Thing is Ariana maybe one of the better singers of the current generation but her tone, her clarity, her enunciation is no way near what Mariah Carey has. Even if we compare 20 year old Mariah with 20 year old Ariana, there is a huge difference. From the very beginning Mariah had excellent control. Ariana can hit the whistle, but even close to the ease and fluidity with which Mariah can. Ariana's whistles comes across as a screeching noise, while Mariah's whistles have a beautiful melody, almost soothing. Moreover I have noticed Ariana can't hold on to her whistle, like Mariah does. Ariana's is just a short burst of screech and then she's done. I can appreciate Ariana's music now because she is trying to change up her sound but the girl is far from having her own distinct sound. She is stuck alternating between Mariah, Christina and Britney. I say Britney because she tries that sexy vocal fry situation, but it doesn't go well most of the time. (Sunday 19 June 2016; 9:08)

Re: The makeup (63,581) (63,589) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter While it is true that they do need to wear more makeup than usual for TV and stage, but Mariah's eye makeup is a mess. In the Sharon Osbourne interview, the recent E News interview and some of her other appearances. They try to do a smokey cat eye look on her and it just drags her eye upwards, making her naturally beautiful almond shaped eyes look slanted and ages her. She looks much better with a softer natural eye makeup, and less harsh contour. Exhibit A, B and C. These makeup looks are more flattering on her. The Kardashians, even though they are always caked up, are actually quite brilliant in makeup artistry. You will see they always focus on a flawless skin and perfect contour, but they hardly ever go for heavy eye makeup. Very rarely do any of them have really heavy eye make up. Mariah is naturally so beautiful, she doesn't need that much eye makeup. Just the basic amount of TV makeup. (Sunday 19 June 2016; 9:01)

Mariah and John (63,588) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So John Legend was brought up on stage during TMB. Chrissy Teigen was also there. I don't know if Shawn's tweet is hinting at a collaboration between Mariah and John or the fact that he would be brought up on stage later that night. (Sunday 19 June 2016; 8:33)

Re: I Don't Wanna Cry (63,558) (63,587) by Andrew from UK I just watched it. Almost the whole thing is lipped. The only parts that obviously aren't are the parts that sound stressed. Are we back to pretending stuff is live when it's not, again? What are you impressed with? Autotuned playback? Lol you couldn't make this nonsense up. (Sunday 19 June 2016; 5:12)

Re: The makeup (63,581) (63,586) by Tevin from USA Please don't compare Mariah to the Kardashians. But I do get your point, thanks. (Sunday 19 June 2016; 4:15)

Re: TGIFY 17-6-2016 (63,584) (63,585) by Tevin from USA That growl was amazing at the end, so powerful and her belting is superb. She should do good singing at 1 OAK next week. (Sunday 19 June 2016; 4:13)

TGIFY 17-6-2016 (63,584) by Billy from Greece I just cannot stop smiling. (Sunday 19 June 2016; 0:36)
