HFIA review (112,325)
by Bobby A from United States
| |
|
|
I miss MC's vocal acrobatics too. It is something that you looked forward to in a Mariah Carey song. My only question is now is how MC can improve her voice to at least get it back to the E=MC2 era. Her range is still there, but she doesn't have the strength and stamina to do the vocal acrobatics effortlessly. Her recent performance of PTS on the Tonight Show and the slight note change she did during the performance is a prime example of her vocal restraint. 90's MC would have done all types of riffs and runs with that performance.

HFIA review (112,318)
by Xavier mariohmix from Spain

My quick review (better late than never): overall I like it very much. It's new, but, at the same time, it's got classic Mariah and a little bit of everything (to my delight). Just like she told us, it's an eclectic album. The one thing that I miss really much: the vocal acrobatics. They started to fade away on the Caution album, and now that's a fact. However, the artistry is intact and evolving, her real virtue. Right after the release, I didn't want to listen to the album more that once a day. But lately, the number has increased. It's a real pity this kind of music doesn't have a global impact like it used to. Anyway, we're here for it all. Hugs.

Alzheimer's (112,324)
by MusicfanJ from Germany

Luckily "cancel culture" seems to go away or at least recognized for what it is. It's a dangerous "weapon" against free speech, opinions and thoughs. But back to Mariah I also think it's only because of her meds. Of course I don't know. But I wish she wouldn't take/need them. Even if you're a normal person you need a doctor you can trust. There are bad ones out there like in every other profession, but with all the money Mariah has, you guess there should be a real good one. But who knows.

I agree. The thing is that some people here get triggered by anything, you can practically feel the bitterness through the screen. Nobody is trying to diagnose Mariah; people are just free to speculate. That whole "cancel anything I don't like" mentality was used as a weapon for way too long. Thankfully, we're finally moving away from that and some common sense is returning. Alzheimer's never even crossed my mind when it comes to Mariah, if anything, it seems more like it could be related to her bipolar meds.

Another #1 (112,323)
by jaker20 from US

When people hear "vocalist" they think American Idol or The Voice. These reality TV competitions have beaten that art form to the ground.
When people think vocal performance in current pop music, they think Billie Eilish or maybe even Sabrina. I love their voices, I love Bird of a Feather, but that's how "good vocals" sound to post millenials.
And if you are belting, they think 90s or Idol. The only way Mariah would have a hit is if she's a featured artist, or a movie soundtrack, because the song is associated to the movie, and not to her.
By that same point, that made AIWFCIY a classic, because it reminds people of those magical days. Mariah will never be both, she can only be a Christmas artist or not.

I don't think Mariah will get another #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 that's not All I Want For Christmas. As much as I'd like so see it happen, it's very unlikely. I don't mean to count her out. She's clearly very talented. But the problem is, in my humble opinion, she's not relatable at all. Some might even say she's not real. They know who she is, but they "don't know her". As much as she presents herself to be real, a lot of people are not buying it, and therefore not buying her records. Maybe she'll prove me wrong with another hit. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Do you think Gamma was disappointed in the sales numbers and the lackluster public reaction to PTS? The only way MC is going to even come close to at least Memoirs sales numbers is to release a duets jazz or covers album. Her pop days of hit singles and albums are over with. Maybe she should pattern her next album with how Rod Stewart revitalized his career after his rock and pop success days ended.

I miss the vocal acrobatics too. "HFIA", unlike "Caution", still has some great vocal moments, not as showy, but definitely there. Mariah's whistle register sounds a bit thicker now, and I actually love the smoky tone of her voice on this album. She doesn't go all out, but her vocals remain steady and smooth throughout. smoky, buttery, and effortless. What more could we ask for?
As I said, "HFIA" would be a beautiful goodbye album if she ever decided to stop releasing new music. Still, I have a feeling she'll put out another album in a couple of years. At this point, I think it's dawned on her that the longer she waits, the less she sells, and the more people disconnect.

"It's new, but, at the same time, it's got classic Mariah and a little bit of everything (to my delight)."
That's the problem with this album. She's trying an old formula that doesn't work anymore, and she's done it so many times before. From my point of view she's not evolving as an artist. Caution was different, but not enough.

Best voice of all time (112,315)
by Giovanni from USA
| |
|
|
It's clear when you listen to songs like "Dreamlover", "My all", "We belong together", "When Christmas comes" and the amazing "One Child", Mariah definitely has the best voice of all time. I know her voice is nowhere near what it used to be and you have Whitney Houston who was labeled The Voice. But Mariah will always have the best singing voice ever and no one today comes close. She's the last golden voice we will ever hear. No doubt Mariah has a place in God's singing choir and I can't even imagine what she would sound like in Heaven. I think Mariah will look like Daydream Mariah and her voice will be reanimated to the fullest extent. I love you Mariah.

The fact that you guys are diagnosing her without knowing a single thing or being a medical professional is wild. Just throwing random medical terms out there like it's any of your business is crazy. I hope she stays away from this message board. If you don't like how she performs now then don't watch. She's given us 30 years of crazy live performances, isn't that enough? You know she's human right? Age is a process nobody can escape, some grace would be nice.

I agree, nobody should be diagnosing Mariah on this board without a doctor's degree in that field. Unfortunately, when you call them out on it they get upset and pull out the victim card. We got some serious professional victims here. Now that's a trend that's getting tiresome.

Dress (112,291)
by Edward from USA
| |
|
|
There's an interview from about seven years ago on MTV TRL where she talks about working with Whitney, and they mention the whole dress situation. She says she isn't sure whether it was her dress or Whitney's that arrived late, and someone on her team reminds her it was hers. In that interview she's completely present and articulate, she was promoting "Caution" at the time, so I don't think her not remembering that detail recently has anything to do with Alzheimer's or her meds. It just seems like one of those things she genuinely forgets whenever it comes up.

Lighty and I are actually just having a good ol' lambily conversation. We're referencing what we know and we actually agree with a lot of things. No fights and we've also been rather respectful towards each other.
Not calling anyone delusional. Not insinuating "you're not a professional" therefore you know nothing, like what you have been doing.
Just so you know, being rude to lambs then subsequently virtue signaling with the heartfelt "She's given us 30 years of crazy live performances", with a at the end, doesn't change the fact that you're rude.

That's what I said, definitive sign just means definitive symptom. So what I'm saying is that's not even a symptom. Just a story you simply can't meticulously recall.
Fair though, honestly Whitney moments are as rare and significant as Celine and Aretha moments and boy does she remember those stories. I would've also safely assumed she somewhat has moments with Nippy kept solid in mind.

I didn't say she definitely had Alzheimer's though, that was not my final conclusion. I'm not even close to being a doctor. In my original post I said not sure if her stiffness/forgetfulness is because of menopause or heavy meds (of bipolar?) or maybe those were early signs of Alzheimer's, etc. Just some speculations. I hope Mariah gets better medical treatments and I wish for her to be healthy, live long and prosper. And after this Christmas, no more tours for a long long time.

Another #1 (112,300)
by Anonymous from USA
| |
|
|
I don't think Mariah will get another #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 that's not All I Want For Christmas. As much as I'd like so see it happen, it's very unlikely. I don't mean to count her out. She's clearly very talented. But the problem is, in my humble opinion, she's not relatable at all. Some might even say she's not real. They know who she is, but they "don't know her". As much as she presents herself to be real, a lot of people are not buying it, and therefore not buying her records. Maybe she'll prove me wrong with another hit. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
