Uhmmm Mimi's deep cuts are MIA (106,166) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ya I was like wow that's so random that she stops at TEOM but what you said makes sense although I think this would have been a good opportunity for her to promote some of her relatively newer albums like singing The Distance, #Beautiful, A No No etc. (Sunday 14 April 2024; 19:07) this is a reply to message 106,160

Uhmmm Mimi's deep cuts are MIA (106,160) by Shezz from Pk Mimi L. from the setlist I saw (not sure how accurate it was), it seemed like she was doing an "eras" show - going along chronologically, closing with TEOM. In some ways that does seem odd that she's leaving out some great stuff from later but then that was last great "era". E=MC2 fizzled out too soon after TMB. (Sunday 14 April 2024; 05:40)

MC would be surprised (106,165) by Bobby A from United States I am here this morning in a popular Austin, Texas record shop called Waterloo Records. They are already sold out of the Cowboy Carter vinyl. Sales clerks are discussing different track variations between what was sold on her website compared to the physical release. Customers are calling and asking if the Cowboy Carter vinyl is still in stock. I wish the hype right now about a Beyonce release was MC. I really feel MC underestimates how the public would receive MC16. Lambs and other non fans are hungry for new Mariah Carey music. She would be surprised that it would probably do better in sales than Caution. It has been 6 years too long now. (Sunday 14 April 2024; 17:29)

Uhmmm Mimi's deep cuts are MIA (106,164) by Bobby A from United States I knew she was going to pull something like this. Knowing how she can become so fixed on an "anniversary", MC just wanted us to get hyped about TEOM all over again. She is not as predictable with her actions like she was 25 years ago. She spoiled us releasing new albims every two years, letting us have a glimpse into the recording process and her collaborator choices. It is going to be another boring Mimi summer for us filled with lots of guessing games and insider accounts. (Sunday 14 April 2024; 14:20) this is a reply to message 106,160

Mimi residency (106,163) by Terna from Nigeria So far, the clips I have seen on social media, IG especially, some accounts were even uploading in real time, I am impressed in the production value and the whole esthetic of the show very high value, worthy of an album and era that literally saved this woman and moved her from icon to legendary status. Vocally, it is what it is. I feel like some songs (most of the songs if not all) have been lowered in key to fit her current voice and have her singing in her lower mix without stressing too much and doing much vocally, they sound good but not as impactful as their original keys, being a soprano it almost sounds like she's singing "too low" if that makes sense. I think Mariah has finally gotten help professionally in terms of a speech therapist and maybe even vocal coach. Her rendition of "Vision of Love" had her holding the "be" at the end of the song like on the record instead of shifting the vowel sound to an "eh" as she has done so many times in the past. This shows improvement. Concerning new music, I think we're in for a surprise later this year or early next year. A Mimi 2.0. Haha. (Sunday 14 April 2024; 13:54)

Funko Pop (106,162) by Terna from Nigeria I chuckled when I saw the new Funko Pop Mimi figure. The dress is cute. Lol. A rare collectors item eventually. (Sunday 14 April 2024; 13:39) this is a reply to message 106,148

Funko Pop (106,148) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway What do you guys think of the new Emancipation of Mimi Funko Pop figure? I have the first Christmas one and the Fantasy one, I'm not sure about this new one. Think I'll wait for another version, I'm sure there will be more. (Saturday 13 April 2024; 12:00)

Uhmmm Mimi's deep cuts are MIA (106,156) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Did we get the full set list? I'm surprised there's no DFAU. She could have done a medley of One and Only and So Lonely. I saw she started with VOL. That's odd since the show is supposed to be a celebration of TEOM and she had ILT, SIO as perfect openers. Was there a reason behind her doing older songs for a majority of the show and then TEOM later? If so why no songs from albums after TEOM? All things aside she looks stunning, the gold dress she wears at the beginning of the TEOM set was beautiful and very TEOM coded. What I loved about some of the videos are that she was walking around by herself and even did a mini almost sprint. All these visually creates a more engaging show rather than using dancers as crutches. So she'll only get better. I hope with each show she also stops relying too much on the teleprompter but as always her shows getting better with more dates. The stage looks nice and moody very TEOM coded. All things asides I think in person the show was a lot better than whatever we can see from low res videos. (Saturday 13 April 2024; 22:57)

Las Vegas (106,158) by Alexis Carrington-Colby from United States She definitely doesn't look happy. She looks preoccupied and pulled out. (Sunday 14 April 2024; 01:09) this is a reply to message 106,150

Las Vegas (106,150) by Bobby A from United States Are we surprised that she is using backing and pre-recorded tracks? However, she looks happy and beautiful and that is what counts. As for her being stiff, MC hasn't moved the same since her accident during the MIAM era. Maybe she will get back in the studio during May through July and create some TEOM magic.

Article: Lenny Kravitz and Mariah Carey are dating? (106,157) by Bobby A from United States I guess we will know it is true when TMZ is able to take some pictures of the couple together and broadcast them on their show. By the way, he owns a home in Paris and a recording studio in the Bahamas. (Sunday 14 April 2024; 00:34) this is a reply to message 106,155

Uhmmm Mimi's deep cuts are MIA (106,151) by "MariahHater" from Hell I was hoping she will perform Mine Again, GYN, One and Only, DFAU and ILT. Orrrr she is doing some reimagined versions of these songs. Idk. (Saturday 13 April 2024; 13:52)

Article: Lenny Kravitz and Mariah Carey are dating? (106,154) by Bobby A from United States I think it is true. He is a legend, established, loved his late mother, a musical genius, sexy and their Grammy moment earlier this year said it all. (Saturday 13 April 2024; 18:28)

Las Vegas (106,153) by BFF from United States It is really hard to tell if she is singing live at all. Seems like maybe she pre-recorded new versions of most songs to make it sound more like her "current voice". The vocals sound like her "current voice" but the audio sounds too smoothed out (i.e. no cracks in her voice). The "Butterfly" medley definitely seemed completely lip-synced. And she's certainly coming off incredibly stiff in terms of stage presence. Something just seems really off. (Saturday 13 April 2024; 15:58) this is a reply to message 106,147

Las Vegas (106,147) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway I can't decide whether Mariah is actually singing some parts or the vocals are all pre recorded. In Without You, I think she sings to a back track first, but sings live some parts of the chorus, it's hard to tell, she has gotten much better at lip synching. She is still very stiff, but she moves a bit more freely than in the last few months. The stage was really nice though. (Saturday 13 April 2024; 11:38)

Las Vegas (106,152) by Shezz from Pk She fooled me first with the low resolution videos coming out. I thought wow she really did work hard for these shows and got her voice back. To be fair, it is her current voice - I think it's clear now she's not getting her confidence back to sing them live. Her voice sounds good though. She looked great, not as stiff as her first Christmas shows, she'll only get better on stage. I didn't see enough clips to see how much she was singing live but her 2 mostly live staples VOL and Hero seemed majorly lipped. Still hoping for MC16 sometime soon.

New music (106,146) by Tameka walker from United states I think the reason why she hasn't put out new music is because she might be afraid that it will be a failure. She is used to having number ones and she doesn't want to take a chance and have another flop. I love Mariah and she is the greatest vocalist of all time hands down along with Whitney. She got a mad pen game when she sees people ripping into her and some are even her own fans. I read some comments and if I read them you know Mariah is seeing this stuff that is being written I hope Mariah sees my comments. You are beautiful and extremely talented vocalist and songwriter, I have been voting as often as possible get you into the [Rock and Roll Hall of Fame]. If we want new music let's help encourage Mariah. I am a fan and I am under no dilutions about the state of Mariah voice you have to realize that when she was in her prime she would release singles and then go back and do remixes and she sang the hell out of the remixes no other singer before her did that. She really overused her voice and that's the reason for the state of her voice . I always come on and read the comments. Let's encourage Mariah and if she see she still got millions of fans who love her than maybe she will give us some new music. (Saturday 13 April 2024; 10:28)

Article: Mariah Carey adds dates to her Las Vegas' residency run (106,145) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I'm honestly secretly happy JLo is finally exposed by masses because she was always known to steal songs and not sing on her own records and be very rude but her team always manages to sweep it under the rug and make her out to be a big deal shifting the focus on her glam looks and fashion moments. Now it's all over how she's so shady. It's satisfying that it's also happening when she has so much hanging on her relevance (since she spent 20 million of her own money on the new projects). Karma is real because she was instrumental in bringing dragging Mariah when Mariah was at her lowest and then claim she had no idea and paints Mariah to be the stuck up one.

No new music until 2030 (106,144) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Personally if she's still working out things on the business side I'd rather her not make promises of new music because then it could be anywhere between months to years that we'd hear of new music. I want her to figure stuff out behind the scenes before she gets our hopes up. (Saturday 13 April 2024; 03:55) this is a reply to message 106,140

No new music until 2030 (106,140) by Bobby A from United States You may be right, but I hope not until 2030. If she would just say new music is on the way when I work through some things on the business side, then it would ease our minds. (Friday 12 April 2024; 11:31)
