Christmas tour 2024 (107,638)
by Bobby A from United States
| |
|
|
Thank you Libra. I have been thinking about relocating back to Atlanta. I just need to develop a plan about what I am going to do next year. I know now Texas is not where I need to live long-term. Anyway, I just need for the Thanksgiving break to hurry up. Lol. These 5am arrival days are really hard each day when I go from classroom to classroom supporting students across 3 buildings.

It's a shame you had to move several states away. You can always come back to Atlanta, you do have a friend in me here Robert-Anthony. I'm old so I don't party hard anymore but I am still down for some fun. I have lived in Texas and in no way would I ever go back. It's not bad at all, it's just for me. Not my people. Not my landscape. I hope you find your tribe wherever you end up. I wish you the best with your health and upcoming decisions.

Christmas shows (107,637)
by Zachariah from Croatia

I have few things to say regarding this matter:
1. You guys are lucky to even to get to see her in this time of the year. I adore Christmas, although I am more an introvert and alone 90% of the time those days, but I love to see city streets with Christmas decorations and such. I like the vibe. I would do anything to go to see her, but it is what it is.
2. I don't mind her just standing there and not move - she was never a dancer and I am fine with that. Looking at the monitor - that is really annoying and I really would like to know why is she doing that, but it must be the lyrics, or looking herself in the monitor to see if the hair is ok or just a logistic part to see where is she standing or something like that - I really don't know what else could be.
3. Her tour starts way to early. She should do just December next time - from 1st of December until 20th. That's it. She had a lot this year and she should get her rest.
4. Vocals are very good from what I hear and I don't know why is she using back tracks.
I don't think she has dementia or anything like that - it is just stress and making sure that everything goes well. Look at it this way - I use notes at my work. Every day. As I am sure you all do. This is her work and yes, notes are in order to make sure that everything goes well.

I have to agree with you on this. I won't say dementia though, maybe just memory loss due to her aging but she really seems to be slower and duller than before when she talks or moves. For example during the Las Culturistas podcast, her answers to every question seemed to be very short and simple compared to, let's say, old Oprah or Rosie interviews, where she was so talkative and vibrant. Even two or three years ago she was not like this. Another example is during the Drew Barrymore show she even forgot the word "snowglobe", which is among her latest merchandise goods. It seems to me that more often than before, she gets lost in words. This is extremely obvious in her recent interviews. Maybe that why she keeps looking at the prompters during the concerts. I can only wish Mariah healthy and happy now.

I agree with the people that feels she seems stiff, and I'm too surprised she uses prerecorded vocals so much, I thought her voice was in god condition, and the notes she actually sings live sounds good. It seems like she is affraid to go in higher register live these days. The constant looking at the monitors I really don't know why, she didn't do this until two years ago. As I have said before, I think she used Ozempic a year ago, and I came with a controversial theory that that medicine made her depressed, as is a common side effect to Ozempic. What Ozempic also can do, is causing temporarily dementia, I know it's far fetched, but maybe Mariah has a hard time remembering her own lyrics. Or it's just that her singing is so cut and paste these days it is to remember where she lip synchs and not.

My guess is that Mariah was put off by the Harris campaign's embrace of Eminem as a surrogate. It was interesting that Obama and Eminem appeared together to help VP Harris become the first woman president when we all know Eminem has spent decades calling Mariah Carey every misogynistic word in the dictionary and recording songs with all manner of homophobic and misogynistic slurs.

I'm so glad Mariah didn't sell her soul for 1 million dollars to endorse a terrible candidate.
Imagine, being a mega-milliionaire or billionaire actor, singer, or media mogul, and yet still find it acceptable to deceive the American voters, just for what is small chump change for them.

Brandon and Edward, you both got me thinking as to why MC is so stiff on stage and relies heavily on the monitors and lip syncing lately. Her voice and hand movements were so interconnected together. With both of them working together, we got a more engaged MC who commanded the stage so effortlessly. Just my two scents as I contemplate if I am going to end my teaching career after 19 years at the end of May 2025. My health is starting to decline from worrying about all that I have to do on a daily basis and from just trying to live on a Texas teacher's salary. I left Atlanta, Georgia a year ago because I just had grown disappointed in how tough it was for me just fitting in after being there so long. So, I went back to Texas because I believed the myth that everything is bigger and better in Texas. What a huge lie the natives sell the newcomers. So, I can completely understand how MC feels when contributing factors can change how you approach something that you once loved to do.

According to the Federal Election Commission, there is no law banning candidates from paying for endorsements. Federal candidates are legally required to disclose all payments, including those made in exchange for endorsements. The Federal Election Campaign Act requires campaigns for federal office to file regular reports on where their money comes from and where it goes. That report has to include the name and address of any "person to whom an expenditure in excess of $200 is made together with the date, amount, and purpose of such expenditure." Campaigns" must provide a "purpose of disbursement" that describes the nature of the transaction, for any money disbursed. So paying for an endorsement isn't illegal, but trying to hide that payment could get a candidate in trouble. Oprah denied getting paid for her endorsement.
[Webmaster: This will be the last message on this subject, unless it involves Mariah.]

Lucky for all of you, it's not your choice at all. Everyone can endorse anyone as long as it's not illegal. Also, people that have a platform and decide to do something good for others with it always have my respect. Even when others disagree with it. This is not an argument. I know better now. We can agree to disagree and keep it moving. Having said all that, I do hope Mariah and any celebrity does what they want with their name, platform and resources in any election they choose. This is still America, right?

Your love for Mariah is really pouring out here. I guess as long as she's aligned with your party there's no problem. I would bet that if she was endorsing your candidate this would not be the tone or message. Mariah would be ashamed of y'all. But people are uninformed and stupid.

Celebrities should stop being condescending and assuming people are uninformed and stupid. They should stop acting as if they know what's best for us from their million-dollar mansions. Let people vote for whomever they choose, period. They should cast their votes and shut up.

You know what's weird? I saw some parts of the show where she was singing (same ol shtick-sing a slow intro then when the band comes in, the backtrack comes in). But she did have a twinkle in her eyes that wasn't there in Vegas.

Edward, I agree with you 100%. Unfortunately it's more of the same from what I've seen too. Constant staring at the monitors, moving extra stiff and rigid and an over reliance on lip syncing. I asked the question to see if anyone else noticed it like me. I know there are some fans that don't care and just want to see her but I'm not moved from what I see. Also I prefer the production and staging from last year to this years shows.

I wasn't going to comment but since you asked, I expected Mariah to go all out with the production, especially with the Merry Christmas celebrating its 30th anniversary. Unfortunately, it feels like more of the same to me. Mariah isn't glancing at the monitors because she's forgotten any lyrics, she's watching for her lipping cues. She appears dazed, and her platform heels are so high she can barely take a step. For a festive show, the energy is severely lacking. I'm not impressed at all. On a positive note, she seems to have added a woman to her dance crew, finally.

It has only been two shows. Lol. Later shows in the past have proven to be more energetic and engaging. Remember the rave reviews of the Toronto and Chicago shows in 2023. Just give her time for upcoming shows. She will do it for sure.

Most of the album of year nominees did one thing to get nominated this year. They stepped out of their comfort zone and delivered albums that had the industry talking about their work of art. Beyonce might just win next year, but Charli xcx or Taylor Swift may take it home.

MC looks gorgeous. She sounds good even though it's obvious it is a backing track on some songs. I believe she is saving her voice for when she gets back into the studio in early 2025. I just want Bizness Boi, H.E.R., and Nova Wav collaborations. Mary J. Blige got to them first for her new album.

I have seen some clips on YouTube. Mariah looks great, but my sense is that the show is almost entirely pre-recorded like the recent Vegas residency shows, even the intermission with her children. Maybe this is just the norm now for most major artists?

Everyone's pretty quiet about the Christmas shows. I've not seen too many videos but she seems to be singing live a whole lot more than what she did this past year from the few that I have seen. I like that she's ditched the nutcracker body suit for her famous Santa suit. The sets again don't look as festive as they have been in the past though - she needs the big Christmas trees back again. So happy she's singing again (not completely of course but this is still great).

Everyone's pretty quiet about the Christmas shows. I've not seen too many videos but she seems to be singing live a whole lot more than what she did this past year from the few that I have seen. I like that she's ditched the nutcracker body suit for her famous Santa suit. The sets again don't look as festive as they have been in the past though - she needs the big Christmas trees back again. So happy she's singing again (not completely of course but this is still great).
