AMAs performance (107,503) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I kinda am hoping she's getting TEOM celebration out of the way this year so she can focus on new material next year. Wishful thinking haha. Another theory is that she's doing TEOM early because it's MC 35 next year. (Friday 11 October 2024; 21:00) this is a reply to message 107,502

AMAs performance (107,502) by BFF from United States The AMAs performance seemed lip-synched to me, but I guess the vocals could have been compiled from multiple takes like someone else mentioned. Mariah seemed a little more energetic than she has been at the Vegas residency, so that was a plus. I wonder if she is planning something to coincide with the actual 20th anniversary of TEOM's release date next year. There is least one song from those sessions ("When I Feel It") that isn't available on streaming, and maybe there are some other unreleased songs from those sessions. I'm bidding my time for when Mariah finally does some sort of "Glitter" re-release/celebration. She worked on the film and the soundtrack for approximately 3-4 years, so there's bound to be a ton of material buried somewhere. And we still don't have EPs for "Loverboy", "Never Too Far", "Never Too Far/Hero", "Don't Stop", etc. I guess Virgin Records hasn't been easy to work with on that front.

AMAs performance (107,499) by Shezz from Pk I personally don't like going down that rabbit hole anymore. It looked partly lipped but she looked great, worked on a new arrangement, everyone loved it - job well done, no need to over analyze it I think, on to Mariah season now. (Friday 11 October 2024; 06:54)

AMAs performance (107,497) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Really? Do you really think the performance is live? Am I too obsessed with this or have I become too distrustful of her? I've felt obliged to watch the performance again, but I still see the same. Poor me. For the record, I don't question the multiple tapings, I mean, that's something recurrent in televised performances. For example, "It's a wrap" on López Tonight or the medley on American Idol. (Friday 11 October 2024; 01:42)

AMAs performance (107,498) by Edward from USA Can you pinpoint specific moments in the performance to support your statement? Mariah hasn't ever been a great lipper. (Friday 11 October 2024; 04:47) this is a reply to message 107,497

AMAs performance (107,487) by Edward from USA Performances like this are usually recorded multiple times from different angles, which can sometimes give the impression that playback was used. For instance, the VH1 duet of "With You I'm Born Again" with John Legend was taped 3 times, I know because I was in the audience. The woman performed one song, but she delivered it live. Credit where credit is due. (Wednesday 9 October 2024; 13:23)

Merry Christmas 30 (107,496) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter These are apparently 2 of the 4 covers and so far these two are meh. The "homage" photo is too edited, too structured and very "staged". The original cover of AIW is so effortless, she looks like she was just running around the snow and decided to sit down and take a photo, she's got her hair flying over her face and her smile is stunning. The new one is more of an homage to MC2Y cover. The second cover is ok but her eyes look a little weird. Waiting to see the other 2. Mariah used to work with such legendary photographers, I wonder who she works with now. They airbrush her too much when she doesn't need it. She looks flawless in her candids.

Merry Christmas 30 (107,495) by MusicfanJ from Germany I agree. It looks too artificial for me as well. Who created the second pic? The original pic of the album is so beautiful. One of her best covers. The album Merry Christmas II is a nice tribute. Anyway it's unbelievable it's been 30 years. (Thursday 10 October 2024; 14:37)

Merry Christmas 30 (107,493) by Jamie from UK I'm not on X but glad they altered the eyes. I can't believe they allowed that mistake. Yeah I agree they should have been done in a more natural setting like before. These are far too photoshopped for me. (Thursday 10 October 2024; 11:01)

Article: Mariah Carey unwraps new single covers (107,494) by Zachariah from Croatia I love the covers, especially because she looks like herself, in terms of skin color. Just compare her first album cover and this one - it's like day and night regarding her skin color. Or is it just me? (Thursday 10 October 2024; 12:49)

Merry Christmas 30 (107,490) by Robert-Anthony from United States Look again on X. She doesn't look cross eyed anymore. Her team edited the cover. I think MC looks gorgeous on the covers. (Thursday 10 October 2024; 04:34)

Merry Christmas 30 (107,492) by Libra Lamb from USA Not the cross eyed Mariah. I think what I love about the original single cover is that it's not perfect hair or lighting and definitely not in the studio. I even love that her hair is on her face and there's freaking snow falling. Where's that organic energy anymore? Not trying to be negative because I'm grateful for any new releases. Having said all that, I think she looks picture perfect. Always a beauty. Always a joy to listen to. Now I can't wait to start playing Christmas music.

Merry Christmas 30 (107,489) by Jamie from UK Just seen Mariah has posted about two physical singles on AIWFCIY with two new covers. The first one is cute but the second one she looks cross eyed. Not sure I’ll be buying these to be honest. I hope we get more surprises for MC30. (Wednesday 9 October 2024; 21:22)

Mine Again (107,491) by T from USA Mine Again would've been the perfect song to have done at the 50th Anniversary of the AMA's. It's so retro and encapsulates the return of the voice perfectly. It represents TEOM in my opinion. Just picture the first few lines in front of that live audience. That old school sound would've reminded everyone just who Mimi is and would've set her up nicely for her next era with Anderson Paak. Oh well. (Thursday 10 October 2024; 05:00)

Robert Anthony (107,475) by David from USA I come on this board often; I comment very rarely. When I do comment, it's usually to note the negativity and nastiness of Mariah's "fans" here. Robert is always positive and civil - and he's respectful to Mariah even when perhaps giving constructive criticism. We could all learn from him and, as far as his frequent posts, this board would be dead without him. (Tuesday 8 October 2024; 15:06)

AMAs performance (107,483) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Guys and girls, I don't wanna spoil the moment, but the performance is playback from beginning to end. Just like The Celebration of Mimi in Vegas (except for a couple of adlibs here and there). I'm afraid MC is not singing live again (at least for a while). The quality of her voice has worsened considerably in the past couple years, and live on stage is where she feels most stressed and insecure about it. So now she just plays it safe by rerecording everything in her current voice and having improved the lipping technique. At least we can enjoy lots of new vocals recorded in a studio. For what it's worth, I think I'm starting to be finally at peace with this. (Wednesday 9 October 2024; 01:47)

Why WBT again? (107,482) by jaker20 from US I wish she had done a deeper cut from TEOM, that would make the gp think in its 20th anniversary that the album is a timeless classic full of bops. With that being said, it's amazing to see the new gen really feeling it. WB is a timeless pop song. It's amazing that it was created fairly quickly. She also looks great, which I think is part of the song's visuals. Which makes me think that maybe her "Believe" is just around the corner, and with the right song, it's going to come out of nowhere with a bang like Cher did. (Wednesday 9 October 2024; 01:02)

Robert Anthony (107,481) by Zachariah from Croatia I don't think I was uncivilized or disrespectful towards Mariah. Actually I know I wasn't. I just answered to his question why are we, it this case, me, so quiet lately on this messageboard. I have a right to my own opinion and it is what it is. Some people have a lot emotions and love reviving old things. Is it annoying for me to see that? Very. That is why I was quiet. Am I enjoying that everyone is writing about perfect AMA's performance where the love from crowd was mesmerizing? Very. (Tuesday 8 October 2024; 23:45) this is a reply to message 107,475

AMA performance (107,463) by Terna from Nigeria She killed it. And I love the new interpretation of the song and how she's adjusted that final octave leap to fit her voice today. That final sustain hasn't been this clear in years. (Monday 7 October 2024; 10:59)

Simple and classic (107,479) by Edward from USA "I might be wrong but are you imitating the way Robert Anthony talks?"
