Remaining Vegas shows (108,241) by Nikki from usa Did you all forget? She does have to be there and keep doing shows. She signed a touring deal with Live Nation at the end of 2017. Her new residency had already begun that year, so they missed out on that and 2017's Christmas season too. Stella was out and Jay's team moved in. Live Nation only had her half the time because the residency took up so much time. It's why she needed an album out in 2018, so they could schedule her next year. Right after the AMA's in the pink dress LN sent her to Asia for a 1 month greatest hits tour before sending her back to the US to finish promoting her album and then doing Christmas shows before having her go on tour for Caution. She still had her residency and then the 25th anniversary of Christmas. Mariah was working around the clock which is why she fired Jay's management team for a smaller manager that would give her more breaks and smaller venues. Probably less commission too. Live Nation was looking forward to 2020 since all her old contracts would be up and 100% of her touring belonged to them, but that didn't happen due to the pandemic. It's why they're working her so hard now. (Friday 21 February 2025; 02:38) this is a reply to message 108,234

Remaining Vegas shows (108,234) by Randy from USA I just don't see the fire. Mariah has been like this off and on since Stella. It would scare me more if she moved around the stage, had banter and wasn't singing along to her own voice in the background. I 100% get she doesn't want to be there but that's common knowledge and people will still go see her because she's an icon. My concern is it does reek of financial trouble and not necessarily, I love to perform so much I don't know when to bow out gracefully. Mariah is fine. She is gigging to make sure she can keep Kristopher Buckle, Mary Ann Tatum, Trey Lorenz, Daniel Moore, the umbrella holder, the rental in LA, the G5, the upkeep on the NYC pad and the house in the Bahamas taken care of. I don't see Whitney Houston's decline. I see more of a Joan Crawford, Judy Garland thing here. "I'm Mariah, dahling. I can't be broke." (Wednesday 19 February 2025; 05:04)

Remaining Vegas shows (108,240) by Shezz from Pk Agreed Randy. If you look at the Brazil concert videos, she was definitely a whole lot more invested and present than the Vegas residency ones. If she doesn't have more music for now she can focus on her biopic (with the right team). Let's hope she works on getting herself back together now with this break.

Remaining Vegas shows (108,239) by Randy from USA The clothing and perfuming offerings are bad ideas RA. The market is saturated. But you are definitely onto something with the writing and producing for other artists as an artist. Mariah can write circles around Kandi Burruss, Montell Jordan and Neyo. Look what they've done for others. And she could definitely write as well as those I consider close to her league Lauryn Hill, R Kelly, Babyface and Kanye. Again, look at what they've done for others. She could've written for Olivia Rodrigo, Sabrina Carpenter, Harry Styles or any other new artists that sell a lot of records and she could do a live festival once a year.

Remaining Vegas shows (108,238) by Robert-Anthony from United States MC needs something else to enhance her career instead of perfoming. I would love to see her partner with a cosmetics or clothing company using an original song sung by another artist. I would even be elated if she took some time off from performing for 1 year. Plus, Beyond the Gates on CBS is going to keep me glued to the TV with this hot new daytime soap opera cast. I have never seem a more attractive and talented cast on new TV program. I can't wait until Monday. (Wednesday 19 February 2025; 20:22)

Remaining Vegas shows (108,237) by Brandon from USA I just wish that either she would be forthcoming (ala Celine) and let us know that something is going on so we can support and cheer her on. If not, quietly take a break from performing and get herself together. Then come back focused and determined to rule the music game again.

Remaining Vegas shows (108,236) by Edward from USA Mariah is far from being a mom and pop, but she isn't a corporation either. She'd better downsize to avoid a potential financial/health disaster. I believe most of the people who tour with her, aside from the dance crew, not only get paid when she works. She doesn’t necessarily need to be constantly putting herself out there like this. Gone are the days when she would take a break, focus on her craft, and return refreshed and stronger. (Wednesday 19 February 2025; 17:12) this is a reply to message 108,234

Remaining Vegas shows (108,235) by Shezz from Pk Agreed. The bottom line is that she's still getting booked. So organizers of these shows don't really see her performances as critically as we do. They only care that she can still fill up theaters and that's fine for them. And in places like China and Brazil she can still fill stadiums. It is what it is basically. I'm still hopeful for some music. We got two collaborative remixes last year as well as two amazing house remixes in a pretty much dead year.

Voice (108,233) by BFF from United States I actually saw Jazmine Sullivan in concert and was not very impressed. There was definitely a lot more lip synching than I would have expected. (Wednesday 19 February 2025; 00:22) this is a reply to message 108,231

Voice (108,231) by Robert-Anthony from United States I thought that you were fond of singers who are very good at riffs and runs. Now, I know your likes and dislikes in female singers.

Remaining Vegas shows (108,229) by Robert-Anthony from United States I have mixed feelings about this performance of Shake It Off from 2 days ago. I am glad that MC can take a break now from performances for awhile. I would love for MC to reinvent herself and her music before releasing MC16. I am hoping MC can become the new Lana Del Rey in terms of reinventing herself and people loving her music like it was her first album. (Tuesday 18 February 2025; 11:15)

Voice (108,225) by Terna from Nigeria Lol. I love your optimism, but just no, [that] just reminded me of that hideous "Fall in love at Christmas" song with Khalid and Kirk Franklin (ugh). I also really don't like Kim Burrell, her style of Gospel, [definitely] don't like her [voice] either. She's only known in Gospel [because] she's capable of doing riffs and runs and honestly, I always feel that's overrated, I prefer straight singing with a little bit of riffs and runs only when the song calls for it, or the melody gets lost. Reason why I don't dig Jazmine Sullivan, nor Beyoncé's singing either. Mariah needs a vocal coach who understands whistle register voices, they work differently from regular voices. Then the bad habits - [bubbly], breaking into whistles even when talking, talking too much etc. I guarantee you, she would see changes positively. (Monday 17 February 2025; 20:57)

Oh well more tours announced (108,230) by Shezz from Pk So in addition to Brighton Pride in August she will be doing a show in Brazil in September. Let's hope she can work on some new music before that. I hope that in the time she has until August she can get some solid work done. Is anybody really excited about the biopic she badly wants to do? It could be interesting, especially since she won't be acting in it but I hope she focuses on new music first. (Tuesday 18 February 2025; 11:56)

Voice (108,219) by Robert-Anthony from United States Terna, I was thinking today that MC should try a more spiritual church method to improve her voice. Gospel artist and pastor Kim Burrell could help MC by getting her to do a couple of church performances after a month of strengthening her voice with her Kim Burrell could help MC improve her voice with some old church hymns without all of the studio gimmicks. Because He Lives, Lead Me Oh Lord and I Surrender My All are the perfect hymn songs for improving your vocal skills. I am just thinking how I love to hear MC sing gospel songs.

Loverboy (108,218) by BFF from United States I have always wondered something about one of the lines in "Loverboy". When Mariah sings "When he invites me over, I come every time," did she mean she goes over to hang with him every time she is invited or does she mean that he brings her to orgasm every time? She was dating Luis at the time the song was recorded, so if it's the latter, he must have been loving her down. The songs lyrics give me the same vibe as the "Honey" lyrics where I am unsure if Mariah's being intentionally provocative or doing her coquettish "I'm Mary Poppins" shtick and playing dumb about the double entendres lol.

Loverboy (108,222) by Edward from USA It's double entendre, just like some of lyrics in Honey.

Voice (108,187) by Terna from Nigeria Honestly, I want Mariah to try a voice coach and speech therapist first before considering surgery. Build her main voice back (no whistle register - neglect this register for a while, it is parasitic on the main voice). A change of lifestyle choices too can make a world of difference. Get disciplined like your life depends on it, because honestly it does, the "Mariah Carey" brand is mainly her voice. Cut out bad habits (if any) she picked up along the way, that came with the fame (bubbly, late nights partying, smoking etc). To be able to go into the studio and wow with one-takes or her ability to step on stage and command the entire show as she once used to with just singing is going to required real discipline and determination cos she's older now.

Let's vote for "the" Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominee (108,217) by Brad from USA The world is crazy now but we know why we are here and what she has given us and the world. Who of is the same as we once were, or perfect? It is not about that. In my opinion, this nomination (and last year's) are nearly 33 years overdue. When she hit that high note on Emotions in 1992, we were all floored and we still ain't picked ourselves up right. But alas, I have been a lamb since the First Vision, many, many moments ago. And I thank her from the bottom of my heart for the joy she has brought me over 35 years. Thank you, MC. Thank you. You are forever my "sound scroll to the sky". And yes, it may take until "someday" to get in. But know in your heart that you will. They can't take away merit. (Saturday 15 February 2025; 02:53)
