It's a wrap (113,967)
by Bobby A from United States
| |
|
|
Lara, you make some valid points in your post. I miss hearing MC use those higher order vocabulary words in her lyrics. It must hurt MC that her studio sessions are not what they used to be. I guess that is why she stopped posting photos on X and Instagram. She was improving vocally until she had to let the world know about her bipolar diagnosis. Disclosing her diagnosis did something to MC emotionally and physically.

It's a wrap (113,966)
by Lara from Middle East

Her voice is seriously damaged from all these years, which is somehow expected. And her writing skills are nowhere where they're used to be, and that is probably from her medication literally blocking her brain. Most bipolar artists get creative during (hypo)mania episodes and the medication work on blocking those (among with the depressive ones). Mariah knows it but can't do anything about it, I guess that explains the lack of energy we see. Don't expect anything more from her, at this point I don't know if she's still enjoying making music with all her limitations.

Mariah Carey doesn't show up for longtime collaborator (113,965)
by TheButterflyReturns from United States
| |
|
|
I agree with the thrust of this. Mariah is definitely to be commended for co-writing and co-producing her own material, but her work writing and producing for other artists is pretty marginal. But then again there are not many successful recording artists who also have major success composing material for others. It makes sense because you wouldn't want to give away great self-penned material to others if you can keep it for yourself. Bruce Springsteen gave "Because the Night" to Patti Smith and Stevie Wonder gave "Tell Me Something Good" to Rufus and Chaka Khan, but those songs are exceptions rather than rules. No song in Mariah's catalog exemplifies this more than "Hero". Tommy was right to insist she keep it rather than giving it to Gloria Estefan.

Mariah Carey doesn't show up for longtime collaborator (113,960)
by jaker20 from US

|

It's crazy that Mariah was first recognized by Songwriter Hall of Fame first, when she's not even writing anything anymore. Her latest album took maybe 10 years to write, and I love the album and all, but that does really warrant a Hall of Fame award?
Mariah is a great writer, written so many great songs, and from the very beginning of her career she wanted to be known for that, not just her voice, because that's what really separates her from the great divas. And she never stopped talking about how she writes constantly and it's a passion of hers and all.
But she's not even writing anymore. She's not written a great song for other artists, which is really the mark of a great writer, someone who can write for others. This is the part of her career that is so lacking.
Mariah, if you want to be known for being a great writer, then write.

Mariah/Walter (113,964)
by Dave from USA

I knew before even reading the article that it would be another veiled hit piece by Roger Friedman. Considering they haven't even been associates for years, much less friends. I don't see why she needed to be there. Every Christmas, before he sold his rights, he would always bash MC about her concept and writing of the song with him. Like clockwork, he would come out and talk shady. The same way Mr. Friedman is here suggesting she hasn't had anything to do with the writing process, which is ridiculous. There are times that I feel people expect her to show respect at all times to everyone yet that same fervor isn't extended when she should be respected for her talent and abilities on a core level.

Jake, have you forgotten about Someone To Hold/Make You Happy by Trey Lorenz, Head Over Heels/Last Chance by Allure, Don't Go Looking For Love by Blaque, After by 7 Mile, I Lose Control by Penny Ford, Help Me Find a Way to Your Heart by Darryl Hall, Get Like Me by School Gyrls, and Where Are You Christmas by Faith Hill? These are great songs MC has written for other artists.

Everything Fades Away (113,962)
by TheButterflyReturns from United States
| |
|
|
She didn't have enough humidifiers and didn't sleep for 23 hours the night before to prepare her voice. That's why she pre-recorded the vocals. She was on vocal rest so that her voice would be rested for more pre-recording sessions for The Celebration of Mimi and Christmas shows. She needs a least 72 hours of sleep before she can pre-record vocals.

Everything fades away / actual voice (113,959)
by nancy from Switzerland

|

My humble opinion. It is obvious that the Summerball was lipped. All Christmas concerts are lipped lately. Except a few snippets are live or prerecorded. There are many vocal coaches who analyse MC's voice of the 90s and also the actual voice. [They] explain the situation respectfully and realistically on YouTube. It does not mean that MC does not have a voice anymore. But it is obvious to see that the voice is not the same anymore. And it does not have to be either. Her vocal chords are strained. If you have injured your knee playing soccer for many years that can happen unfortunately. Mariah is experiencing the same somehow. We are not bashing her. I think she still can release albums in the future. And sing in her healthy and lower vocal range. Like in her last album [Here for it all]. And make the best with that what is still possible. In the studio she can make her pauses when she needs to. On a tour you have to function very well. And the mental pressure raises. With that pressure she gets anxious and insecure and looks stiff. Also it has a large impact on her stage presence because she has to control many things at the same time. I guess also Gamma does not support her well and let her down. In this business no one cares what you're going through. Unfortunately.

I would strongly disagree. I've been a Mariah fan since 1990, so I've followed her live performances for decades. Trust me, I know the difference between when she's singing live, when she's using backing tracks, and when she's fully lip-syncing. Not every performance is 100% live, but it's also not as simple as saying "95% lipped".

Everything Fades Away (113,957)
by Lambi from USA

The concept of her voice is still so mind-boggling to me. Feather-light on the soft tones, delicately sweet, with subtle built-in rasps that make it impossible to duplicate. Then she belts with such a force of resonance, yet the opulence stays intact. She is unbelievably ethereal in every register, it really doesn't make sense.
When you listen to the a cappella versions of Forever, OSD, My All, and Outside, you would actually be a fool not to admit she has the absolute greatest singing voice, nobody honestly comes close. Patti LaBelle was correct in her assessment when she said Mariah has the most phenomenal voice.
Your talent is essentially borrowed, and Mariah can confidently face the Creator one day and say, "Lord, I did the best with what You gave me." She did the most while she had it in pristine condition. For that, I'll always be eternally grateful.

Yes, I used her Music Box album filler song to describe the current status of our queen's glamorous life. Come on, lambs. You cannot expect her to be the '90s Mariah. She's way past that. It's already written in history. Her glittery music career is taking its natural course. The peaks and valleys, and another set of peaks and valleys, had happened already. I am not saying she may not peak again. She may, but also may not, depending on her choices and the public's. However, let's face the hard reality that she's slowly fading away, at least the music she's putting out there recently. Everything fades like Aretha, Whitney, Janet, Madonna, and even Celine, Britney, and Christina A. They are no longer the singers they used to be, and neither is Mariah Carey. We can only hope for and pray for another peak, but we can also choose to be truthful, be happy, and content with the contribution she already made in the industry, the history she has written, and enjoy the songs and albums she worked really hard to put out there for us to enjoy forever.
Mariah can still do what she does to stay relevant. She was born to do it. However, we may put our expectations realistically. Her voice can never be the same. She's effing 57 years old and not 27, may I remind everyone? And singers can still sing in their old age, but not the way they sounded when they were young. Our speaking voice naturally loses its strength, much like the singing voice. It's a hard truth that we all need to accept instead of being disillusioned about her voice and singing career. Whether we like it or not, her light gradually dims, and she can only extend this before it completely fades, depending on the choices she makes in life. Everything eventually fades away.

You don't have to love everything Mariah does to be a fan. But saying it's "so many things" without actually explaining what those things are doesn't really say much. If your feelings have changed, that's valid. I'm just curious what specifically changed for you.

You've been a fan since 1990, yet one album erased 35 years of support? Sounds less like loyalty and more like nostalgia with a volume knob. If the "true Mariah" only exists in the past, maybe you're a fan of your memories rather than the artist herself.

Mariah didn't lose her voice, she lost the expectation that she should sound exactly like she did at 20. The Summertime Ball performance proved she can still sing and entertain at an elite level. Critics often focus on old viral clips or isolated moments. The Summertime Ball showed she can still sing many of her classic songs and connect with the audience.

Yes, sadly everything fades away, but she's not in the age of Cher or Mick Jagger. Lol. And Cher and Mick are still rocking. They have still the drive, which I find fascinating. I understand that her voice is gone or can't be like in the past. It was out of this world anyway and will never be heard again. I'm proud and happy to have witnessed her prime and the whole 90ies. Then later "the comeback" with TEOM. But I see some difficulties with her current image. She could be relatable again, if she wants to. I hope she releases the grunge album. I still wonder how it would sound with her Daydream voice. It's so crazy to think about it, but positive crazy.

MC is missing a real business team. She hasn't had that type of team around her since Memoirs. Wouldn't it be a shocker if Scooter Braun took over as MC's manager and her career reaches new career highs six months prior to releasing MC17? I believe Scooter Braun would be an unlikely choice for a manager, but a necessary one.

Bryan Tanaka in Tyler Perry's Nextflix show (113,938)
by Michael from United States

I'm just hanging out at home scrolling Netflix, and I stopped on Tyler Perry's Beauty in Black, and watched the little teaser they have for it. Bryan Tanaka flashed across the screen. I may behind the times here, but did anyone else know about this? There are two seasons. Is the show good? Is he any good? I wondered what he had been up to since their split.

We are certainly divided on the board about MC's career and her ability to produce another album. I don't think we should write MC off just yet.

I agree. She lost her spark. Her voice seems seriously damaged. When she does appearances she seems frozen, probably from her medications but she'll only leave us speculating. She likes to remind people she's a songwriter but imagine having a lyric insert like the old albums, Caution and HFIA wouldn't stand a candle to her previous works. Her attitude of ensemble and make up and all the glamour and glitz doesn't help, people want someone relatable. I miss her girl next door days, even the Honey and TEOM days she had that kind vibe that I cannot find in any recent video. Something drastically changed and she doesn't want to share it. Unless she was always that shallow silicone Barbie and was showed the other way at her beginnings? That is so hard to believe. Anyway all this won't matter, she made it and she's enjoying it, I just hope she's happy where she is now.

You've been a fan since 1990, yet one album erased 35 years of support? Sounds less like loyalty and more like nostalgia with a volume knob. If the "true Mariah" only exists in the past, maybe you're a fan of your memories rather than the artist herself.

I'm all the same. I've been standing by her side since 1990, but her latest album was the last drop for me. I bought my self a new sound system with dvd/cd player. I now enjoy her old music, and what I will call the "true Mariah", and yes, I will keep on posting here.

"I miss her girl next door days, even the Honey and TEOM days she had that kind vibe that I cannot find in any recent video. Something drastically changed and she doesn't want to share it."
I feel that too and agree with it. But no, Mariah was never a dumb Barbie, yes the image changed a lot, but you could mostly tell it's still Mariah under the diva behaviour and looks. Since Bryan Tanaka is gone, something went down. That can be a coincidence, but I don't think so. The sad thing is, she doesn't look happy under all that glam. I hope she finds the happiness again. It won't be found in success (she's had enough) but in health and a down to earth life. I hope the new home in Connecticut brings peace and relaxation. Maybe then the "other things" will follow.

MC does not have to share her private facts to the world. It is her choice. But sometimes it makes it easier for people to understand why she changed so much. Sometimes you feel relieved if you share your problems. Also Kylie Minogue, Celine Dion, etc had their struggles in their lives. But they were ready to open themselves. They received a lot of understanding and support from their fans. In MC's case everybody is speculating and make diagnosis and comments about her medication intake without knowing her. The only thing that is obvious, she has vocal cord damage. MC told once about her nodules in her throat. She did not let remove them because of the risk of losing her voice completely. Maybe one day she is ready to open herself.

For me, I have already lost my excitement for another MC album. At least for now. All the promotion in the world can't change the fact that she can't sing/perform. She comes off as zombie like in interviews now. Im guessing it could be maintenance medication for her disorder, which is completely understandable, but is it worth damaging her legacy further or getting a shell of what she used to be? The excitement always return the closer she gets to releasing new music, but as soon as I see her lackluster non live performance, it just ruins the momentum.
