Refreshing (112,120) by Edward from USA

The "With You I'm Born Again", "It's Like That" and "I'll Be There" performances from the VH1 Save The Music 2005 special were all live. I was there, third row. She sung each song twice.

Refreshing (112,119) by Bill from the UK

She's done them here and there. Pretty sure the "impromptu" performance of The Art of Letting Go for the fans was live, and Make It Happen from Live8. Some of the Charmbracelet promotional shows had some songs fully live. But you're right, as a general rule they are rare as hen's teeth post-1999.

Even though I've ragged on .Paak before for his clownish behavior, I'll give credit where it's due. I genuinely appreciate his integrity when it comes to live performances. He actually got Mariah to sing fully live on a televised number. Yes, fully live. Not a single note was lipped. The last time I remember Mariah performing entirely live on TV was back in 1999 when she was promoting I Still Believe, with the rare exception of AIWFCIY on Fallon in 2013, though that one felt more like a casual kickback jam session than a proper, teched-up performance.

1999 was 26 years ago. We finally have an authentic live TV performance. We've waited way too long for this. It fills a void that's been missing for decades. Her voice may be more limited now, but I appreciate that it's 100% live, her integrity is so refreshing.

Oh and if anyone else knows of a rare instance of Mariah singing fully live on television post-I Still Believe, feel free to share.

I've been wondering about this too. Is homegirl in debt? Or has she simply built such an extraordinarily large lifestyle that she has to work herself to the bone, even while diseased, just to maintain it? I genuinely can't bear to watch another one of her recent performances. The state she's in on stage is honestly saddening.

HFIA a month after (112,114) by Lambi from USA

Oh my gosh, you are? One of my co-worker bestie is a Filipino and I love you guys. If you're in the MCPhilippines group chat or something, can you suggest for Kyla to sing Nothing Is Impossible? I was so impressed when she sang Lead The Way. I'm hoping to visit Philippines one day and join one of your guys' parties, they look so fun.

Thank you so much, Lambs. I feel like a new person today. I had a great birthday celebration by myself reflecting on my life. Klove radio really has changed me. My future is brighter now.

I haven't moved back yet. I am hoping to leave Texas next summer for either Nashville or Atlanta. This will be my final major city relocation.

If you're back in Atlanta, and I'm sorry if I missed that confirmation, hoping we could meet up for coffee, drinks or a meal?

Confetti and Champagne (112,106) by Libra Lamb from USA

My feelings exactly. HFIA is much better than Caution. Easiest to listen to from start to finish. One of her most lyrically honest efforts. Kids now will worship anything except true talent. Mariah is a has been for most of them. They simply can't relate. We grew up with her music, most of us did anyway.

No need for insults. I meant to reply to Travis. Obviously you didn't say anything about it.

Article: Live review: Fridayz Live 2025 featuring Mariah Carey (112,102) by Max from Germany

A few years ago I went to one of her concerts and it wasn't well attended. Mariah called everyone to gather in front of the stage. After we were all at the front, security called us back to our seats. Mariah was really angry and left the stage immediately. After 45 minutes she came back and suddenly her hair was straight instead of curly and she just performed her show in a cold manner. But when she noticed that the audience was singing along she relaxed and had fun. I think touring is really tough and she should give herself more breaks. Mariah doesn't have to prove anything to anyone anymore. However, we don't know why she's playing so many concerts. Mariah should have enough money. But I have no idea how much money she paid or is paying Nick so she can keep the children. Who knows what else he might have to say about her. Lawyers are expensive. Combined with her illness, it's a tough burden to bear. I'm glad about HFIA, it is still a masterpiece. As far as I'm concerned, Mariah doesn't need to tour anymore and can just release a new album if she wants. The main thing is that she's okay. She did enough.

I am still here, Libra Lamb. I just wanted to change my profile name to celebrate my 20 years plus on the board. Time flies by so fast. I turned 53 years old yesterday.

I have never considered myself a lamb, but I still buy the stuff she releases. Who are you talking about, not supporting her? I am confused. As I say to my friends: I used to be blonde.

And that's the reason she should stop trying to make music for the teenagers. They don't care about her at all.

Honey (112,098) by Lara from Middle East

I've just watched the Honey video and wanted to say I miss that Mariah. I mean I know people change. She was sexy without overdoing it , the way she runs on the sand at then end effortlessly and carefree. You can see she was less self conscious. Her recent videos are just too calculated and missing that vibe. I wish her team would help her get over they personal hurt that makes her want to hide behind that image and let her sweetness shines through.

Patricia Carey (112,097) by Libra Lamb from USA

I wish Mariah would write a song about her mother. I know it's a lot to ask. She would be bearing her soul and would and to be the human version of herself, but I think it would be cathartic and offer her fans, the lambily, an introspective look into her mourning. Too soon? Maybe. But we got Sunflowers for Alfred Roy. Maybe we can a get a song for Patricia too. It certainly would be the most relatable topic. I'm not saying exploit her loss, but offer a window into her grief.

Confetti and Champagne (112,096) by Libra Lamb from USA

I would say that the "lambs" are probably the only ones still supporting her and her releases. The general public moved on a long time ago. I buy the singles and cds but I never play them, it's easier for me to stream, and so I do, almost daily. Lambs getting the blame and the hate for no reason. We are the only ones who care.
