Re: Happy anniversary (93,396) (93,397) by MusicfanJ from Germany Happy birthday Mariah. I wish you all the best. The lambs around the world will celebrate you. Please take care of you. (Friday 27 March 2020; 16:19)

Happy anniversary (93,396) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Happy anniversary to the queen Mariah. Your immense talent has been a source of inspiration for so many people. I hope that you are enjoying your special day with loved ones. Wishing you an abundance of love, joy, and blessings for many more years to come. (Friday 27 March 2020; 16:05)

Re: Happy birthday, Mariah (93,394) (93,395) by Steve from USA Andrew, I just have to say this. The only comments I ever see from you are snarky and negative. I mean, it is what it is, if that's how you feel. But why post here? It makes me not even want to look at this board, because there's enough negative stuff going on in the world. Like, I do not understand the point of even visiting here when you're this critical of Mariah, pretty much to the point of seeming to not like her at all. Maybe that isn't the case but it's how you come across IMO. (Friday 27 March 2020; 13:09)

Happy birthday, Mariah (93,394) by Andrew from the United Kingdom 50, now, eh? About time this anniversary stuff stopped. (Friday 27 March 2020; 12:56)

Re: Acapella / piano for the benefit special (93,388) (93,393) by RibbonB from USA Yeah Hero is her best bet. (Friday 27 March 2020; 12:38)

Happy anniversary (93,392) by Musti from UK Wishing M a happy, healthy and successful year. And happy birthday to all other 327 babies. I was supposed to be in Italy this year but now I can't even go to Tesco to get candles. We will all get through this. (Friday 27 March 2020; 11:46)

Mariah's benefit contribution (93,391) by Nikki from usa I hope she doesn't sing Hero. Enough already. This is a benefit concert for people with cabin fever stuck at home. They don't need inspiration, they need a break to cut loose. Since all of you have no faith in her ability to sing anyway, she do better to sing uptempo songs or remixes that don't require over the top vocal acrobatics. I just hope she makes it fun or creates a new song. (Friday 27 March 2020; 08:49)

Re: Acapella / piano for the benefit special (93,388) (93,390) by Stacey from USA Agreed. Hero is the wisest and best choice. It's the right message the world needs to hear right now. Through the Rain is a nice song with a great message. But does the general public, the world want to hear that song? Probably not. Plus, Hero's melody allows Mariah to lip certain parts while looking like she's singing live. It's a great song to salute the real heroes on the front lines. Cheers. (Friday 27 March 2020; 08:17)

Anniversary (93,389) by Tijl from Belgium Happy anniversary Mimi. I hope the MCA (dysfunctional) family is safe and doing well. Bless. (Friday 27 March 2020; 07:48)

Re: Acapella / piano for the benefit special (93,386) (93,388) by Edward from USA "Through The Rain" would be ideal for the occasion but it is an extremely difficult song to sing live. When she sang it on Oprah, back in 2002, she relied heavily on her backup singers and lipped most of what she was supposed to be singing. At the AMAs, back in 2003, once again she relied heavily on her backup singers, she also lipped most of it. I don't think it would be a good idea for her to even try that, considering the quality of her singing on "He's Got The Whole World In His Hands" challenge. I think "Hero" would be perfect. With a few "heys" and "with you, and you, and yous" here and there she can captivate the audience. (Friday 27 March 2020; 00:34)

Re: Acapella / piano for the benefit special (93,381) (93,387) by Aliya from Canada I think she will most likely sing Hero, because it's a well-known song that most people know and can relate to at this time. (Thursday 26 March 2020; 20:37)

Re: Acapella / piano for the benefit special (93,381) (93,386) by RibbonB from USA It might go viral for the wrong reason though. (Thursday 26 March 2020; 18:37)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey fans aren't impressed with singer's vocals (93,376) (93,385) by Licia from USA The truth isn't hating. She didn't sound good. I wasn't expecting perfect or 90s vocals, but I did want decent. She's had plenty of moments where she has sounded better with her current vocals. That just wasn't it. I do hope for the best with the benefit concert though. (Thursday 26 March 2020; 16:17)

Re: Acapella / piano for the benefit special (93,382) (93,384) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia She needs to sing live and give whatever voice she had left and just go through it. She can lower the key, and adjust the arrangement to suit her current voice. I know she can do it. She doesn't have to sing like the record, just take her time with the song and sing. The return of the voice. (Thursday 26 March 2020; 16:02)

Re: Acapella / piano for the benefit special (93,381) (93,383) by Bobby A from United States I am sure she won't do any whistle notes. (Thursday 26 March 2020; 15:41)

Re: Acapella / piano for the benefit special (93,381) (93,382) by Bill from the UK You misspelt lipping. (Thursday 26 March 2020; 15:39)

Acapella / piano for the benefit special (93,381) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia I would suggest for Mariah to sing Through The Rain (acapella or piano version) for the Elton John's Virtual All-Star Benefit Special. Imagine Mariah wearing tank top and jeans and belting the final chorus of Through The Rain. It would go viral. (Thursday 26 March 2020; 14:12)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey fans aren't impressed with singer's vocals (93,378) (93,380) by Musti from UK It's not the worst thing she's ever done. She sounds decent, I don't see the big deal. She does tend to get carried away sometimes though, like when she put us all to sleep while singing happy birthday to Sharon Osbourne. (Thursday 26 March 2020; 13:45)

Article: Elton John hosting virtual all-star benefit special (93,379) by Andrew from the United Kingdom This is a nice idea. But, please, America, when this is all over, no Hollywood movie(s). *cue deep 80's movie trailer voice* "In a year where coronavirus has decimated the global population, one man stands alone to smash the shit out of everything. And save his little girl. This year, Dwayne Johnson is: THE VIRUS KILLERRRRR" I bet they're planning it already. Maybe Mariah can have a part as his pissed off therapist who won't cut him a check.

Re: Article: Mariah Carey fans aren't impressed with singer's vocals (93,376) (93,378) by Andrew from the United Kingdom Come on, it was weird. For the life of me I do not understand why Mariah just cannot stand still and sing a bloody song the way it's supposed to be sung without making it some sort of skit. The whistle register section was not pleasant to listen to, the head voice slowing the song down to new levels of awkwardness, and the low notes produced by some sort of guppy fish mouth. She could have just sung the few lines she had to in a normal voice and the world would have moved on. Only modern Mariah could [censored] up He's Got The Whole World In His Hands. Jesus wept.

The challenge (93,377) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Personally I did not think M would take part in the challenge. In [my] opinion I think our queen made Mariah, and honestly I was not disappointed at all. Those who were I will say you win some, you lose some. (Thursday 26 March 2020; 12:43)

Article: Mariah Carey fans aren't impressed with singer's vocals (93,376) by Betty from Canada Haters will be haters. (Thursday 26 March 2020; 12:04)

Article: "Greatest Hits" already? (93,375) by Courtney from USA Uh Columbia released Mariah's Greatest Hits after she had left the label so she had no say so in it. As for the others it's an easy way to make money particularly around the holiday season to release a greatest hits album and many of them had had more than enough hit singles to do so when they did #1's was released to tide fans over while Glitter was in development as was Rainbow when the film got postponed to its eventual September 21st 2001 release date in the US. Paul McCartney and Wings did something similar in the 1970's after 6 albums and a live album a greatest hits album was released in November 1978 their 7th studio album was released June 8th 1979 or Curb Records released Tim McGraw's first greatest hits album in November 2000 he had had 21 top 10 hits up until then 12 of them #1's that's on the hot country songs chart.

Is the secret out with Kelly, Arian JoJo and Tori? (93,374) by Bobby A from United States What is up with JoJo, Tori, Ariana and Kelly doing these MC song covers? Could it be that MC is planning an album similar to Luther Vandross' So Amazing and Aretha's Jewels In The Crown. If so, it would make perfect sense to go along with I Had A Vision Of Love. I did hear Kelly say in her video that she needs the backing track for Vanishing to be sent to her in Montana. I hope my feeling of a tribute album comes true. (Wednesday 25 March 2020; 02:45)
