I get your sentiment honestly. Mariah will never be a "regular" singer. She is actually just built different. She has too much creativity bubbling up and will delve in the process until 7 in the morning, making sure every note, chord progression, adlib, vocal layering, instrumentation is right.
She will never be the Christina Aguilera or Celine Dion type that just sings. At the core, she just is a creator. That is God's spirit in her.
I commend her for maximizing her gift in the studio. I've gotten over the lip syncing but I do agree with someone here who said at least make it believable. Mariah could actually be pretty great at lip syncing (ex. Fly Like A Bird Grammys, her and Whitney in the studio recording a rare version of WYB).
Now she seems dead inside. I get everyone's frustrations. I think someone just needs to tell her how obvious it is that she's miming and to get over aging. She really doesn't want to form any more lines, therefore avoid any overly wrinkled singing face. As ridiculous as it seems, I actually believe this is what Mariah is doing. It makes perfect sense knowing she is eternally 12 and will hold on to being 12 at what ever measure.

Sounds like you're giving excuses for her. "She's not really a regular singer." Well then she needs to be a regular singer, if regular means being disciplined, getting training all over again, getting a voice coach that understands her situation (and preferably also a voice therapist in tow) and knows exactly what to do and how to go about it, having some form of a routine mapped out for her and seeing where it goes, because having this attitude and being a half assed singer without knowing the tricks of the trade is what put her in this problem to begin with. It is quite sad to see how much singing ability she has lost, literally everything. And then she keeps touring (with which voice exactly?). D'you know how grueling touring is on a normal voice that doesn't have nodules, talk less of one like hers that does - the reason why every time she toured it affected her voice negatively. For someone who's shows are all about the voice, she sure shouldn't be giving any performances on any stage whatsoever with how shot her voice is currently (call it as it is, we can all hear it). Standing there giving absolutely nothing on stage and thinking the audience would not notice? I am a true fan/Lamb or whatever you wanna call it, and Mariah has been getting on my nerves lately, I scroll right past any posts about her concerts, because I already know what to expect. How much more those who paid money to see her in person. She will soon be booed off that stage, then maybe finally jolt back to reality and seek professional help.

I want to throw a jab, but that list is actually so funny LMAO. Why is everyone so unserious here? On all seriousness though, you can taper it down to Mariah just having a handicapped voice plus overworking.
She's not really a regular singer, think of her process in masterclass where she hums and leads the band until they get it right, that then doing the production, vocal arrangements, tripling background vocals, staying up until 7 in the morning with the audio engineer. All that, times a million songs.
But yeah I almost resented Mariah for never ever sounding like 96 Tokyo Dome live. But then I think about how her voice is literally heaven sent. It's like you will have the most beautiful voice ever but the trade is, you'll have nodules and it'll be super fragile, but you'll be gifted artistically though. Like everyone will be left in the dust.
To simplify it. A regular singer would be training vocally for 2 hours. Mariah would meet with the band and write chord progressions for hours, humming - overworking her voice. Lead the producers to get things right - with her voice. Then hit up the background singers and arrange some adlibs. Again through her voice. Then keep editing and trying until her handicapped voice is worn out. That would be 10 or more hours.
She did that since 84, that's more than 40 years of just giving it your all. Driven by the fear of being poor again and disappointing her fans and the label.
The inevitable result is her voice being shot. She really did the best with what she got. Everyone needs to be grateful and give her, her well deserved flowers.

Yes she looked like she stepped right out of the "I Still Believe" music video with her ponytail. So youthful.

Looking at all the pictures of Mariah performing in Shanghai, all I can say is that her stylist has step up the game and able to pick dresses that carry the classy image. Even her ponytail makes her look neat, clean and current. Big hair is so yesterday. Great gowns beautiful gowns. That's all.

Interview (108,754)
by Lambi from USA
| |
|
|
Mariah literally said in an interview she trained herself not to squint to avoid forming lines. Her whole brand is not acknowledging time and being eternally 12. As age catches up, of course she will go through lengths of avoiding it AKA not having much facial expressions when performing. Why is everyone so behind?
It's the reality of aging plus being heavily sedated. She's barely holding it together. Pat and Alison dying on the same day was not an accident. "Hollywood Babylon" is a great book to go deep into if you want to know what they do stars who try to get out of big corporations.

Biopic (108,746)
by Lambi from USA
| |
|
|
Mariah's probably been heavily involved in her biopic. She's posted pictures with Lee Daniels. It's coming out some time soon. With her barely trying to be convincing when she lip syncs - it's quite obvious. She just doesn't want wrinkles to develop faster. At 56, aging has caught up with her. She's doing everything in her power to slow it down. Mariah is all about how she looks. I mean she quite literally didn't care if she was being given a tribute by Moni and Tori, it was bad lighting when Mariah was in the frame. And she will not hesitate to show her dismay. All lambs should accept that this is just who Mariah is. This is just how a beauty queen ages. She's touring and showing up and takes the time to pre-record. Nobody can say she didn't maximize her time. Musicians usually retire from performing by their 60's. We are four years away from that. So just enjoy what ever she can scramble to offer at this point. She literally devoted her whole entire life to music.
