Thank you, Shezz. I am going to try to keep hope alive. I hope we will see some type of new release this year. Until then, I am ready for a summer vacation. I have eight more weeks until I can get a break.

You are the happy glue that holds us all together here and makes us hope and wait for good things to come. Don't you dare lose hope. MC will deliver us new music this year. Keep on believing.

Las Vegas (106,233)

I have to agree BFF. You can look at her on stage and not see one vein pop or eyebrow raise, funny face that comes with singing live, nothing. Not to criticize - just an observation. We don't know what could be going on behind the scenes. I often wonder if M has Lupus or an autoimmune disease like it. Please don't come after me for just wondering. I have Lupus myself and know how stiff you can feel, exhausted, fluxuation in appearance and whatnot. I remember years back when M stated she got carpal tunnel syndrome after the twins were born. I also got that and had surgery for it, leading into my diagnosis of Lupus thereafter. I'm not saying she has that at all, just that we as the public have no idea what people are dealing with behind closed doors. Only what they choose to share with us. Maybe she doesn't want to give it up and this is the best she can do at this point but the cost I have to say is so high right now. I'd love to go out to Vegas and see this amazing setlist in the flesh but I don't know if it's possible right now. Maybe she will take this on a traveling tour. One can only hope. I honestly being a huge MC fan since her debut, I would go out and enjoy watching her on stage and adding in whatever live vocals she can do at this point. I know she still has it in her, she just needs to believe in herself to attempt or risk those notes. Her energy or lack of could be multiple reasons. She looks amazing though.

I agree with you. She's charging way too much money for this show to be so heavily pre-recorded. Wouldn't it be better to just record in the studio and not tour?
She really needs to follow Linda Ronstadt's lead and stop doing live shows if she's only capable of a few minutes of live vocals. You can look at Mariah and tell that her heart isn't in it - there's no perspiration coming off of her, she's hardly moving, doesn't look winded at all. Whitney sounded awful during her last major tour (and really should not have done the tour) but at least Whitney sang mostly live.

A 2am surprise (106,232)
by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
| |
|

Taylor's marketing is undoubtedly genius. The way she created engagement and mystery around her release. Her Easter eggs, the QR code hunt. Her album releases are almost an event in itself. She really knows how to promote her stuff and promote her artistic abilities. Taylor, like Mariah, is not a dancer but still manages to create a strong stage presence.

A 2am surprise (106,230)
by LoverboyFirecracker from Canada

I'm only a casual fan of hers, but I really love how she markets all of these album releases. She creates a lot of excitement and brings it back to the days where you would just get super excited to buy CD, etc.
Honestly, if Mariah released some of her albums with different packaging, different colors, etc. at the same time during her heyday, I'm sure a lot of us would buy more than one copy. I know I would.

I feel that we just want the album she has said continously that she is working on. I think MC is just telling us things to keep the new music narrative going on and on. We are not getting a new album any time soon. The Las Vegas shows and Christmas is all we are getting this year. Her heart is not into producing a body of work like 20 years. That studio spark is not in her eyes anymore.

Has MC ever given the Lambily something like a 2 a.m. surprise on a release day? Taylor Swift is a marketing genius. She knows how to keep her fans excited and broke at the same time. Lol. I guess this is just a different time of Friday release days and using the digital music boom for an artist's advantage. A Tuesday release day unannounced double album would not have had the same effect in 1995. Some record store clerk would have spoiled Taylor's surprise. Oh well, she will dominate the Grammys again next year.

The same here. I often hear Mariah while shopping. It's always such a nice, good feeling. Songs which were played in stores: Hero, Fantasy, Make it happen, ABMB, It's like that, We belong together, Thanx for nothin', Endless love. And we all know what happens during December.

Hard truths (106,223)
by Brandon from USA
| |
|
|
No artist is perfect. Every artist has things that they are good at and things they need work in. For example, Celine and Whitney are polished, dynamic performers but couldn't write a song to save their lives. Janet and Ciara are great dancers but lack in vocal prowess. Mariah is no different. She is a dynamic, prolific composer, songwriter, producer, etc. but she is not a great performer. She has said herself numerous times in interviews that she is a studio artist and more comfortable in the studio. She also has said that she had to learn how to perform while she was famous and just figure it out. Unfortunately after all these years, she has done nothing to improve her stage presence and performance style. In my opinion, she has gotten worse and some lambs are blinded to it. I've seen her live in person so I know. She is stiff as a board and I don't understand why. I get my hopes up every performance that her inner performer would jump out and she would amaze us but it's the same thing every show/tour. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad she's still with us but this latest iteration of MC ain't it. My two cents. Thoughts?

Hard truths (106,224)
by Robert-Anthony from United States
| |
|

I truly feel MC never had that "Wow" stage presence. She just wasn't groomed and polished that way. Early performances show MC whose whole stage presence materialized for the audience to focus only on how she used her voice. Tommy never allowed that "Wow" performer element to materialized for MC like singers we would say had that "Wow" stage presence early on during their careers. Singers like Michael Jackson, Janis Joplin, Tina Turner, Prince, Teddy Pendergrass, Usher and Fantasia. These artists could give you a show that you walked away from the venue thinking on the way home, "Wow."

A hurt dog will holler. You love that I finally gave you attention. Yup, a troll is what you are. Stay underneath the bridge and away from this community once and for all. You can't sit with us and you don't go here.
Troll: a person who intentionally antagonizes others online by posting inflammatory, irrelevant, or offensive comments or other disruptive content. Internet trolls. In the late 1980s, Internet users adopted the word "troll" to denote someone who intentionally disrupts online communities.

Are we really using words like "whoring" just cause you're frustrated? After being a Mariah fan for so long, lambs should have better vocab. Also have you actually been to a show or are you just riled up for nothing? Lastly Mariah's Christmas albums and songs are like tradition now, even if she doesn't push it, it still sells. Only thing she's doing is touring Christmas which people have been asking her to do.
