About Luke from Slovakia :

Qatar wedding performance (103,690) by Luke from Slovakia Yeah, the whole My All was lipped. I'm not hating. I'm just concerned about what happened to her voice. And what do you mean by unrealistic expectations? I don't expect her to sing like in 1996. I expect her to at least sing live most of the show. Is that too much to ask? When did we get to the state when even singing live is unrealistic for Mariah. (Monday 9 October 2023; 14:44) this is a reply to message 103,687

Qatar wedding performance (103,687) by JC from USA Most of what I've seen her mic was on but likely singing over herself. I think she sounds great. My All sounded the best it's sounded in recent years. I'm excited. I feel the lambs have an unrealistic expectation. I noticed this during LA Pride, for example, where I (and many others) felt she sounded amazing, yet lots of hate from the lambily. (Sunday 8 October 2023; 22:52)

Qatar wedding performance (103,684) by Luke from Slovakia Her mic was off most of the show unfortunately (even on the parts she used to sing live). Obviously her voice has not gotten any better since last Christmas. I'm kinda afraid about upcoming concerts. She looks stunning though.

Qatar wedding performance (103,674) by JC from USA Has anyone else been seeing Mariah's recent performances from a wedding in Qatar? I think they're from this past week. The mic is on and she sounds great and I'm loving the energy. Here's a link to one of a few clips I've seen on Tik Tok. (Saturday 7 October 2023; 18:59)

Maybe I'm missing something? (102,685) by Luke from Slovakia I have to disagree. Her voice was in better shape in 2019/2020. Even back then she'd never lip VOL. You're right though. Her voice has been on steady decline for some time now. I just wasn't prepared for this drastic change in her 2022/2023 vocals. Oh well, at least we can enjoy her duet with Olivia that's been released on the new album. (Monday 8 May 2023; 13:01) this is a reply to message 102,683

Maybe I'm missing something? (102,683) by Randy from USA So I watched the concert and to be honest, this is how MC has sounded since Caution. No better no worse. The strained sustained notes to prove she can sing. The cutting up of long notes and adding stacatto "hey hey". The moments of clarity that we all know are backing tracks. Background singers singing verses that don't have backgrounds on verses on the original. The fidgeting with the ear monitor. The tossing the hair from side to side when she lips a note in case she miscounted how long to keep her mouth open. All of this is normal. So to come here and see you guys say it's a new low or it's bad baffles me. Some of you are acting like the house just caught fire. It burned down a long time ago. (Monday 8 May 2023; 12:39)

New low? (102,675) by Luke from Slovakia So I've just seen YouTube videos from the last show and I'm speechless. MC even lipped a part of VOL. The one thing I thought she'd never do. Her voice is shot. Idk what happened firing the Covid break but her voice got way worse even compared to 2019/2020 vocals. What is happening? It looks like she has a bunch of yes people around her but someone should sit her down and tell her that she needs to get her shit together or just quit. I hate people saying "she has nothing to proof anymore" well of course she is (was) one of the greatest but if she wants to continue her career as a singer she should get her voice together or throw her golden mic away. If it's the nodules she should get them removed now. I don't care if she loses her whistles. It's not like she can whistle now. It sounds very unpleasant with her current tone. I would be more the fine if she lipped whistles instead of lipping half of the song like she's doing now. I'm not even starting the VOL conversation. I'm sad, disappointed and scared for her. Please Mariah. Get the help you need. (Sunday 7 May 2023; 20:03)

What's going on (101,832) by Luke from Slovakia I'm a long time lurker. Hi everybody. Since I don't now any Mariah fans I decided to share my concerns here. I don't mean to be negative but Mariah's vocal state is... bad. What happened? I've just watched live footage from her MSG performance and she sounds horrible. Her performance of Hark the Herald was jus sad to watch. In the end she couldn't even sing she was just catching breath. I really really hope she finally seeks out help. It baffles me that her, one of the greatest, just doesn't care about her voice. What is it with these women just taking the gift for granted? First Whitney and Mariah is getting there as well. Either do some scales before the show or don't take money for performance which is 70% lipped except som uh ohs, and staccato runs. Please Mariah, get some help. (Wednesday 14 December 2022; 21:58)
