About Tevin from USA: A laid back guy that loves Mariah!

Re: Mariah's voice (83,054) (83,059) by Tevin from USA Thanks Manuel for your insight. I'm curious about a few things. Do you think drinking is a huge factor in her voice? I mean look at performances from 2009 vs 2010 when she was pregnant, sure it wasn't perfect, some performances dubbed but you could tell her voice sounded a heck of a lot better. Almost as you called it 90s sound but matured. Anyway I know having children affected her breathing and diaphram but to me it seemed like the lack of drinking had the biggest impact, what do you think? Also (you might want to check this out) but there is a YouTube video showing how in Mariah prime especially doing Daydream era she had breathing technique issues, also I heard that one of the reasons her voice was so light and airy in Daydream era wasn't just technique but possibly vocal decline (sounds crazy I know), due to her noduels enlarging causing airyness to her voice, then in Butterfly era they started to harden, hence the deep raspiness and tone. Any thoughts? (Monday 9 July 2018; 21:57)

Re: The greatest album closing track (81,620) (81,627) by Tevin from USA I agree that LTT and Outside are the greatest closing songs, but technically should LET count? It was a last minute addition that isn't even on all the CD's. (Saturday 31 March 2018; 20:37)

Re: Songwriters hall of fame snub (80,849) (80,858) by Tevin from USA What song is compared with Hero or TGIFU, ILT in its sound? (Thursday 8 February 2018; 04:30)

Re: Interesting question (80,577) (80,621) by Tevin from USA I prefer 94. When she had a nice mix of both. Heavy powerful belts and elastic runs. (Thursday 25 January 2018; 04:23)

Re: Interesting question (80,607) (80,619) by Tevin from USA Lee I think the rasp was because of her nodules. She had to learn at a young age how to sing through them, which is amazing in its self, because most people can barely sing with them. But sadly they came back to haunt her in 97.

Re: New album title (80,516) (80,549) by Tevin from USA Hey Randy I agree with the album titles lol, except for the E=MC2 bared one, it should be called "Migrate should have been a single". (Monday 22 January 2018; 04:22)

Re: New album title ideas (80,444) (80,447) by Tevin from USA Didn't Christina have a flop album called Lotus? (Thursday 18 January 2018; 04:20)

Re: Golden Globes party moment (80,344) (80,355) by Tevin from USA Can't believe TMB is 10 years old. Boy time flies. (Wednesday 10 January 2018; 04:25)

Side note about Andrew (80,290) by Tevin from USA I feel like every new profile pic of Andrew, gets more and more of a close up of him. Lol nice picture Andrew. (Sunday 7 January 2018; 05:50)

Re: Police escort (80,203) (80,225) by Tevin from USA Ok cool thanks for the info. (Tuesday 2 January 2018; 18:31)

Police escort (80,177) by Tevin from USA Why did Mariah say last year she had to get her own police escort. Lol Ryan was like let me take this mic from you lol. You can tell they like each other though. It be cool if she will pop back on American Idol for redemption there. Now I'm going to sleep good night lol. (Monday 1 January 2018; 06:05)

The performance weighin (80,176) by Tevin from USA So I will give it a 7 out of 10. She did good, redeemed herself from last year. She song 99% live if not 100. See was a bit hoarse. But given that it was -7°F and she is singing live in front of millions of people I think I will bump her up to a 8 out of 10. I will say she did look like she enjoyed herself out there. Ryan kept saying how hard it is to sing in the weather conditions. I also am happy that this is the first time in a while where it seemed like she sang Hero completely live including the climax. Overall I was happy with this performance. Next year she needs to sing some up tempo songs in LA where it's warm and I doors. My rants over. I'm going to sleep now. Night everyone. Or morning depending on where you live. (Monday 1 January 2018; 05:57)

Happy anniversary (80,171) by Tevin from USA Congrats. I love this board. (Monday 1 January 2018; 03:50)

What songs should she perform? (80,088) by Tevin from USA Don't know how big Mariah's time slot will be, but if you could choose 3 songs for her to perform Sunday night what would they be? "It's like that" (she sounded good and has been singing this 95% live lately), "I'll be loving you long time/TMB" mix. ABMB, crowd favorite (maybe just the first verse, the chorus, then have crowd sing the du du du part along with her). That should end the performance. Maybe throw a verse of Migrate into the mix, because it should have been a single. Lol. Doing this performance set I believe she could sing this all live with some back tracking (because everyone does it) without having to lip syinc. (Tuesday 26 December 2017; 22:18)

Re: Patti LaBelle on WWHL (79,691) (79,703) by Tevin from USA Nice. Pattie just confirmed what we all new. Stella was a witch and Mariah surrounded herself with bad people. But now Mariah is back and doing good. (Thursday 7 December 2017; 04:42)

Re: Mariah's cleaning house (79,327) (79,330) by Tevin from USA 2009 or 2010 was the last time she had a different hair color for a while. At least while performing. (Thursday 9 November 2017; 16:17)

Brent (79,146) by Tevin from USA Dont know if it's true, but he is the latest one in the spotlight for sexual harassment. No wonder Mariah cut ties. (Thursday 2 November 2017; 18:58)

Fresh off the boat (78,988) by Tevin from USA Did you guys see the latest episode of Fresh off the Boat, they gave another Mariah Carey reference. (Tuesday 24 October 2017; 03:41)

Re: Sad love songs (78,855) (78,862) by Tevin from USA But the heartbreakers always gets the best of her. Sorry I had too lol. (Wednesday 18 October 2017; 02:56)

Re: Vision of Love / Kansas (78,218) (78,235) by Tevin from USA Wow, I was not expecting that. She needs to do that ending like that more often. Those smooth vocal runs sounded amazing as well. (Friday 1 September 2017; 05:58)

Re: Mariah inspired by Whitney? (78,203) (78,215) by Tevin from USA Lamb from US, "There's got to be a way" honestly to me sounds like it should be a [Whitney] song. Dont get me wrong, Mariah killed it, especially that whistle note, but I always felt she sounded like Whitney with sligthly less power in that song. [It's] the only song (maybe "Your [sic] so cold" also), that I think would have fit Whitney better. (Thursday 31 August 2017; 05:20)

Re: Best hope of dethroning D (78,028) (78,030) by Tevin from USA I thought Wild Thoughts had the best chance of dethroning Desp. Somebody needs to go to Taylor Swift's place and drop her new single for her. We can't have Desp dethrone OSD. (Tuesday 22 August 2017; 22:24)

Re: Despacito | Most-viewed YouTube video of all time (77,802) (77,827) by Tevin from USA Mimi L. is there any chance Wild Thoughts might go number 1? (Thursday 10 August 2017; 04:00)

Re: Something new (77,783) (77,801) by Tevin from USA Ikr. I still remember, when I played the song at a school function, when E=MC2 came out and everybody that showed up in my highschool was dancing and asking me to put Migrate on repeat. I'm almost positive the song would have been in the Hot 100 top 5, if not a #1 hit. (Wednesday 9 August 2017; 05:03)

Re: Celine (76,837) (76,844) by Tevin from USA No no no this can't be. I have always viewed the vocal Trinity as like family members. Whitney (rip) was the aunt with so much talent and potential, but her crazy marriage dragged her down. Mariah is like the sister that is a workaholic and talented but likes to party a little too much on the weekends lol. But Celine was like the mom, the person that would take you to church every Sunday while the rest of the family acting like fools. So to see Celine like this lol. My crazy imagination (Monday 3 July 2017; 04:52)
