Article: Katseye dress as Mariah Carey's different eras for Halloween (112,138) by Dove from United States I love this. (Wednesday 29 October 2025; 16:10)

Refreshing (112,137) by Edward from USA Don't worry, I'll try harder next time, maybe I'll throw in a conspiracy theory or two so you feel more at home connecting dots that don't exist. (Wednesday 29 October 2025; 14:47) this is a reply to message 112,134

Refreshing (112,134) by Lambi from USA I also just had an epiphany. Bill is naturally the funny one, and you try a little too hard to ride on his comedic genius. (Wednesday 29 October 2025; 09:12)

Refreshing (112,136) by Lambi from USA Bobby A, the prompt was rare fully live Mariah TV performances post-1999. I love that 1997 Butterly Letterman performance though. I also really love the new ad libs and note changes in the SNL performance. I just had it on repeat before going to sleep the other day.

Refreshing (112,129) by Bobby A from United States MC's performance of Butterfly on the David Letterman Show was a brillant rendition. (Tuesday 28 October 2025; 11:38)

KATEYE's PR move (112,135) by Lambi from USA Them all dressing up as Mariah for Halloween is obviously damage control for not being able to name one of her music videos. Still, it's kind of sweet that they're trying to make it up. It's okay girls, you were born in 2007. You grew up on streaming, not when real iconic music videos were being released. We forgive you.

Refreshing (112,131) by Edward from USA Bill thanks. I think I just had an epiphany, the Michael Jackson collabo she wanted to release on "HFIA" is most likely "I'll Be There - Casket Revival Edition". (Tuesday 28 October 2025; 13:34)

Refreshing (112,133) by Lighty from China Touch My Body SNL 2008? Although I'm skeptical of the last line "Come on and give me what I deserve." (Tuesday 28 October 2025; 14:48) this is a reply to message 112,118

Refreshing (112,118) by Lambi from USA 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. (Monday 27 October 2025; 13:37)

Refreshing (112,128) by Lambi from USA Casket edition. LMAO. Yeah, it was clear homegirl never ever did a live TV funeral performance before. She probably skipped her vocal warm-up since it was so early in the morning. It was also revealed later on she didn't rehearse that number at all. I remember watching it on real time and feeling embarrassed for her. She got so much flak for her voice cracking, understandably so. I tried to give her some grace, but it was hard to defend her when Usher, Jennifer Hudson, and her own duet partner Trey Lorenz all did freaking amazing, and they all had to perform at the same early morning time frame. Though based on the recording timeline, MOAIA wasn't fully completed by July 7 (MJ's funeral). Recording ran roughly from January to August 2009. Still, I would've taken a day off, made the room pitch black, cranked up the AC, and taken all the melatonin I needed to get the best sleep, just to be able to give the King of Pop a decent tribute. This was most likely a performance she doesn't care to recall. (Tuesday 28 October 2025; 11:35) this is a reply to message 112,125

Refreshing (112,127) by Lambi from USA I actually wanted to acknowledge that one, at least until I discovered the un-dubbed version. The polished version, though, is a full vocal masterclass; her range and register control are truly out of this world. (Tuesday 28 October 2025; 11:01) this is a reply to message 112,126

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. (Monday 27 October 2025; 19:05)

Article: Mariah Carey fans still excited to see the icon in Perth (112,124) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain At her The Celebration of Mimi show on October 4 in Sentul, Indonesia, she reportedly told the crowd: "I've been battling fibromyalgia for years," and hence delivered a "softer, slower" set. Again this reference. But is this true? (Tuesday 28 October 2025; 04:45)

Article: The songbird supreme flies in to Perth (112,123) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain The article says: "Carey recently admitted she suffers from fibromyalgia." What? When did this happen? (Tuesday 28 October 2025; 04:38)

Refreshing (112,122) by Lambi from USA That's actually really nice to hear. I just rewatched it, and I think your assessment is correct. Maybe a duet alongside a real musician, both a pianist and singer, motivates Mariah to put in real work? Like have some integrity homegirl. I actually went to the taping of her medley on American Idol. She performed it 3 times too so they could edit it together and pass it off as fully "live", acting like they're just handpicking the best parts from each take. But as a true lamb, I'm ahead on which parts are always lipped on those 3 takes. That's why I'm cynical. Still, the Save The Music performances definitely leans more towards being fully live, probably just lightly polished, which is standard for taped performances. She actually did deliver. Thanks for sharing. (Tuesday 28 October 2025; 04:22) this is a reply to message 112,120

Refreshing (112,121) by Lambi from USA Thanks for sharing. I had that AOLT impromptu in mind too, it definitely leans more toward a "casual jam session" than a fully teched-up performance, but it's worth noting that it's completely live. She's totally capable, I mean, have you seen the TGIFY performances from 2017? Beltriah really came through. I think she's more at ease when she's surrounded by true fans at concerts, but for whatever reason, when it comes to TV appearances, Mariah defaults to miming the climaxes. Maybe it's really just the perfectionist in her. (Tuesday 28 October 2025; 04:00) this is a reply to message 112,119

Article: Live review: Fridayz Live 2025 featuring Mariah Carey (112,115) by Lambi from USA 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. (Monday 27 October 2025; 02:30) this is a reply to message 112,102

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. (Sunday 26 October 2025; 09:45)

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. (Monday 27 October 2025; 02:20) this is a reply to message 112,095
