About Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway: Fan since 1997

Mariah's voice (89,704) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway Maybe I'm speculating too much now, but maybe Mariah hasn't got the chance to rehearse that much while her children were very young. It is after she became a mother that her voice has declined a lot. Her children seem very close to her, there is no doubt she spends a lot of time with them. So now that they are a bit older, and they don't need that much supervision, maybe Mariah has gotten the chance to rehearse. Just a thought. (Friday 24 May 2019; 15:49)

Mariah in the new era (89,703) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway I'm so exited to see Mariah get the recognition from the music industry these days. People I know who love Madonna, Celine, Cher, Prince, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, have always said Mariah would never get the recognition the other superstars have gotten, simply because Mariah is not as great as them. Of course I have been there to challenge teir views, but they have all thought about Mariah as somewhat a joke. Nowadays, the music industry has started to treat Mariah as a great among greats, it's so nice for a lamb to get to see this, and I'm so glad they are showing Mariah respect before she's no longer with us. Let's make this a lesson to all of us. If you have person in your life you haven't told that you love them in while, do that. I am for sure going to tell people I appreciate that I love them more often. Mariah inspires me everyday, listening to Make it Happen while I'm writing this. (Friday 24 May 2019; 15:43)

With You snippet 2 (84,232) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway I was a bit disappointed with the first longest snippet, but the snippet Mariah shared today makes me exited. It's the first song since #Beautiful that gives naturally good wibes. I really like the repetitive "with you" and the harmonies, it induces positive feelings. (Tuesday 2 October 2018; 18:34)

Re: Mariah's voice and breath control (83,982) (83,992) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway Randy, that is the most honest message I have read on this board, thank you. I used to read and post messages here all the time, but the last few years I haven't, fun to be back. I also believe something happened between Daydream tour and Butterfly. A doctor friend of mine, who is also a fan of Mariah, firmly believes her voice got damaged because of the hose you have to have down your throat under the operation when you get breast implants. I remember he told me this 15 years ago, and I don't know what to believe. But if that's the case, I think it's the saddest way of damaging your voice, because of vanity. I think the voice now is at its worst that it has ever been. I still enjoy watching her performances, because I love her. But I always hope that there will be some improvement of some sort, but it never happens. Since she can't do wonders with her voice anymore, I wish she could at least have some more energy on stage. I saw her in concert when she visited Oslo during SSFT, it was amazing, and that is what I have decided to remember. I wish her all the best for this next era, and I hope she will keep on doing live stuff like iHeart, because no matter what, it's always fun to see a new performance. (Monday 24 September 2018; 23:43)
