by Stacey from USA
| |
|
|
Yes. One of my favorite remixes.
So put your loving arms around me boy And hold me like I was a cuddly toy Let me feel that warmth of your embrace Don't let go
Cause there could be no sadder sight to see Than if we were to miss this opportunity So send me up a signal and I'll catch the light If there's no time, you know it's up to you

Put your loving arms around me boy. And hold me like I was a cuddly toy. Let me feel that warmth of your embrace.

I think she does a good job. She finds ways to include them in her touring lifestyle, letting them perform while also letting them be kids and play. She even set up a mini pop-up lemonade stand with a whole cash register for them so they get excited and feel like they're contributing to the show too.
Rocky seems to include God a lot in his captions, and Roe seems very level-headed. They're surrounded 24/7 by trusted friends and professionals so she's definitely doing a better job of preserving their innocence. They are not being left alone with sketchy people like Mariah was with Alison's pimps.
The mafia have gone after her public reputation, her wealth, and her health. Family is the one thing she has now that's somewhat stable, and she is fighting tooth and nail to protect it and keep those relationships intact.
In her book, she denotes her children as one of her greatest gifts, alongside her tremendous musical talent. They hold such a magnitude of strength, healing and saving grace for her (like music do), and I'm so elated MC gets to have that. Dem kids truly are a gift from the Lord.

Yes, it's true. They are often copying it. The good and the bad. But sometimes it can also be the complete opposite. I know a lot of people that became the opposite of their parents. Even the stars can be the opposite. I find it fascinating that Steven Tyler's daughter, the beautiful Liv Tyler, looks so normal and not like the "Rock and Roll style" with all the bad habits that often come with it. But with Mariah, she did escape the poorness from the family. She became one of the biggest stars in music, broke every record, a real legend. But sadly in private life it looks more like copying, you're right. I just wish she could find a normal man, not only good looking clowns or partners that only wants the money and a bit fame. She so deserves a stable own family after all that mess. That would be healing for sure.

Heartbreaker (114,034)
by MusicfanJ from Germany

|

I love "Heartbreaker" and the video. It was so much fun with Mariah as Bianca and Jerry O'Connell. The remix is also a favourite of mine. Yeah, the lyrics say it all. I wonder who the heartbreaker was on this song? Derek Jeter or somebody else?

I usually just agree with everything you say, but don't you think that people who has experienced unstable lives as kids are often copying the same lifestyle them self?

"I think Nick leaving broke her to the core." That's what I think too. And it's so sad. Mariah really thought it is a "love story" and he did "the impossible" but that clownish, egomaniac man only broke her inner heart. He and Stella are the worst. Back then I had a bad feeling when the news were telling that she will marry him after such a short time. But that he became such a nightmare, it was a bad surprise. Mariah always wanted a stable family for own (after all her experiences from childhood on) but he left her with two kids and made many babies with diffrent women. He's a shame as a man and as a person. A second divorce is one thing and hard enough, but Nick made her look like a fool. I also feel sorry for the children, they will have questions soon. I hope they can be a little support for Mariah when they are grown-up. Mariah needs a true soul, I hope one day she'll find him. She deserves happiness with a real man. But no more clowns, then it's better to be alone and find inner peace and strength again. Good friends can help too.

I think she did a good performance in Stavanger, Norway after that. Was it all live? No. Was it only lippet? No. I enjoyed it.

MC's 2016 New Year's Eve disastrous performance broke her as well. It broke her so much that she wrote Portrait. MC really hasn't been the same on any stage since that awful moment. I hope she can find her groove again on stage by moving more and singing live. Wouldn't it be cool if she partnered up with Tiana Taylor to help with her stage presence prior to launching MC17?

I feel like she was pretty much the same until around 2014. Post-divorce, the triple D's and clown contour got a little too desperate. I think Nick leaving broke her to the core.
Mariah has always been about looks, in my opinion. I mean, it's Hollywood, you kind of have to be. She was always fixing her hair, even in the 90s, always making sure you shot her from her good side. It's just that in the 2000s, Britney, Christina, Beyoncé, Aaliyah, and other up-and-coming pop girlies all had formidable sex appeal. There was just more competition, and Mariah made sure she was up to par.
She stuck it out naturally for as long as possible, facially at least. Her look that night on Idol when she bopped Nicki's head off with, "Not everybody has that," looked like she was straight out of the Honey remix video.
The Stella era is really when she started heavily experimenting with Botox, which she most likely despised because she ended up redeeming herself in 2018 with yet another beauty peak and I honestly think she looks good even today. She hasn't had the bee-sting lips or the MJ nose.
She thickens her lips via makeup and, in my assessment, did a non-invasive nose slimming procedure, where they inject filler to achieve the desired shape but it's very minimal. She sort of just harmonizes with her natural features, which I actually appreciate. It's just the boobs that are overdone.

Mc has always been into fashion. But she put music first. She also took care of her voice with tea and honey. And now she replaced tea with Champagne splashes. I remember the interviews of the Charmbracelet era. (Larry King etc. They were so spontaneous comparing to what I see today. Eg. The project. In 2014 she started rambling and being very awkward. Eg. The Breakfast Club.) She is in the I do not care club. The clothes now fit a lot better. She used to wear too tight clothes at times. Especially in the Rainbow, Glitter and Stella era. The face looks great thanks to her stylists. In a few photos the lips are too thick in my opinion.

I would agree. It is odd that once she broke away from Tommy, where you would think she would continue to shine personally, she actually seemed to have less and less self esteem publicly. I'm not sure if it was the declining voice, which appears shot now, or because she started to put so much of her identity on her antics and looks, that as she aged, she grew more insecure. I was watching an old tape from when I saw her live in 92. She was so alive up on stage and her voice was so incredible.

Your post made me watch MC's First Vision today. It was nice to see how MC captivated the whole music industry with her voice. I don't think any other female artist will ever come along and have the rise to stardom like MC. Thinking about next year, I really feel we are going to be talking next year how MC brought it home with MC17. I just feel it in my soul.

Jamie, that's exactly how I feel. I don't think most OG fans wanted Mariah to stay exactly the same forever. We just wanted her to keep the things that made us love her in the first place, her authenticity, her humility, and the focus on her talent instead of all the superficial stuff. Her metamorphosis on "Butterfly" was shockingly amazing to me, she was sexy without even trying.
Up until around 2012, she was still a diva, but there was still a lot of the old Mariah there. Now she seems like she's on autopilot. Her concerts are basically the same show over and over again. She just stands there, looking more focused on not missing one of her many lipping cues or forgetting the lyrics than actually connecting with the audience. Everything feels flat like the shoes she refuses to wear.
Like you and Bill, I'm just happy I got to experience her when she was at her best. At least we have all that amazing music to go back to, and those remixes were everything. For me, the closes she got to replicate 90's remixes was with "Triumphant", after that, most of it was pretty meh.
As much as I love Mariah, I wouldn't pay to see her live at this point. I feel the same way about Madonna. Her shows are definitely more interesting, and the production value is still impressive, but she barely moves. She's in amazing shape, but you can still see the difference. She's also still leaning on the same shock-value tactics that worked 30 years ago, and they just don't hit the same when you're pushing 70.

GenX OG fans (114,024)
by Lainsky from Philippines
| |
|
|
I guess the GenX OG fans are simply blessed to have experienced and witnessed Mariah at her prime. I have seen her live once during her first concert here in the Philippines. I was sitting in the 10th row from the front. She had two more concerts here, or three more than a decade later, and I decided not to see her. Aside from the very pricey ticket, the amount was not worth the quality of her performance and the show itself. As you said, it was pretty much all the same and fell flat. Don't get me wrong. I still adore her. However, I've learned to accept and live with the reality of who she is now, together with the artist and person she was once.

Mariah in Jamaica 2015 concert (114,023)

I love 420-riah. LMAO. I'm forever impressed by the 2nd verse of WBT in Jamaica. You can tell she wrote the song because of the way she ad libbed her way through it and still perfectly sat right on top of the melody and instrumentation, freaking phenomenal musical genius. Peep, "I gotta change the station."

by ADAM from USA

On a positive note, I wanted to share with the community this link for MC's iconic Jamaica concert in 2015. This long form video is so heart warming to watch. Her adlibs were so creative and interesting. Her spirit was everything. Her tone was drastically different from the records but it didn't matter. She was a free spirit and I loved to watch every minute of this. I wish she would open up about her struggles as this person nowadays is a ghost of her former self. The amount of stuff she didn't address in her memoir easily warrants another book or two. I'm not anxious to see her memoir on film with Lee Daniels as I feel she's not an objective source to document what really happened and as today, the most interesting talking points would be what happened to her voice and we know she won't even touch the topic.

by Jamie from UK

Yes watching her early interviews she's all about the music. Now all she really cares about is how she looks, some of which will have affected her voice indirectly and directly. She once said she wasn't all about the glitz and glamour. Now that's all she's about. It's a real shame she went this way, but she only has herself to blame. It was cute at first but eventually it's overtaken the music and even her personality. She will never be like she was but it would be nice for her to still be humble and connected. I used to follow Mariah to hotels just to get a glimpse of her, I couldn't wait to see her on TV or in concerts, I'd constantly be chasing down memorabilia. It's a sad day when I'm clinging onto the old Mariah and the pre 2016 Mariah as I currently feel disconnected from who she is right now. It makes me sad to feel this way.

I’ll have to dig out my ticket and see what seat I was in relation to you lol. Yes we lived through the best times. Artists decline over the years is inevitable but I would never in a million years have predicted we would be where we are at now.

Me too. I've found some peace living in my 90s bubble and enjoying her performances, interviews, albums, and remixes from that decade. So glad I was there at the time and witnessed it all first hand, and I'll be eternally grateful that I attended the Daydream Tour's London concert. I still get a pang when I watch her interview on This Morning in the UK, where she said "I would never lip sync." Oh Mariah.

Yes watching her early interviews she's all about the music. Now all she really cares about is how she looks, some of which will have affected her voice indirectly and directly. She once said she wasn't all about the glitz and glamour. Now that's all she's about. It's a real shame she went this way, but she only has herself to blame. It was cute at first but eventually it's overtaken the music and even her personality. She will never be like she was but it would be nice for her to still be humble and connected. I used to follow Mariah to hotels just to get a glimpse of her, I couldn't wait to see her on TV or in concerts, I'd constantly be chasing down memorabilia.

I would agree. It is odd that once she broke away from Tommy, where you would think she would continue to shine personally, she actually seemed to have less and less self esteem publicly. I'm not sure if it was the declining voice, which appears shot now, or because she started to put so much of her identity on her antics and looks, that as she aged, she grew more insecure. I was watching an old tape from when I saw her live in 92. She was so alive up on stage and her voice was so incredible.

I agree with the untapped comedienne potential. People with deep trauma use humor to cope and inevitably become hilarious. Her imitation and accent skills are so underrated.
But fair, she is essentially a living corpse these days, not sure how she is going to navigate a movie set. I too am exhausted seeing her with no spark. She's rather dull even when she should be excited talking about something she loves like songwriting. The NY Times interview was saddening.
I miss pre-breakdown Mariah. She was so refreshingly interesting, articulate and intelligent.

It will be fun to watch MC's comedic timing and vocals shine again during another Proud Family episode. Also, I forgot MC appeared in three different American Dad episodes in 2013.

"I miss pre-breakdown Mariah. She was so refreshingly interesting, articulate and intelligent." Oh yes, she was. I miss her so much too. Her aura was just magical. So positive, full of life, she did outshine everyone and everything back then. Pure Mariah power. I've never seen someone so fascinating, lovely with that smile like Mariah during late 90ies. Her eyes were always shining. I wish I could go back to that time, before 9/11. I was also happier then, but yes life life must go on. But so many things really were better then. I also wonder if "a part of that smart, happy Mariah before breakdown" is still there in her soul or vanished away. I would love to see her again. She's missing.

I never said she's the next great phenomenal actress. All I said is that maybe there is some untapped potential there and that it's something Mariah could try again to get herself out of the rut she's in.
I swear some of you people are so argumentative and catty and want to misrepresent or malign people who post something that even slightly challenges your worldview.

It's a wrap - Bond Girl (114,013)
by Lainsky from Philippines

She totally gave that vibe in the "Honey" music video, my favorite because it's like a mini-movie. I wish she had done something like this. Why did it not materialize? Was the Bond girl just purely a rumor back then?

That was on point. I agree with all three mentioned points. I read all the other views about Mariah's acting and possibly new roles. Personally I'm not so interested in new movie roles played by Mariah. She did it and it was okay. Some were good, some were not needed (that Zohan comedy movie, I even went to cinema for it) lol. I'll always prefer music from her. But in 97-99 she could have been a real Bond girl. "Honey" was showing it.
