How The Grinch Stole Mariah's Voice


Rock & Roll Hall of Game

Recommended Posts

The Internet is a buzzing after Mariah Carey's vocal malfunction at this year's New York Tree Lighting Ceremony. 

 

Let's start by how messy this story is.

 

First on Tuesday, Mariah Carey "No-called, No-showed" to the pre-taping of the ceremony to have some kind of conference call with her divorce lawyer. NBC execs sent her home after she showed up three hours late. 

 

She apologized via Twitter:

The Network decided to do it LIVE instead.. Yes.. Live! The Show went on and lets just say, the backup singers need bigger checks

Everyone's entitled to their opinion. Here's mine :)

It seems like her head voice mainly is affected by cold temperatures. There were some cracks when transitioning to that register, also looked like ear-piece issues affected the pacing around the middle, but that's not enough to warrant "disasterous." Personally she did a fine job IMO. She did what she could in that moment all live and undubbed and I'll take this over a perfect backtrack any day. The intro was the highlight - her tone was just wonderful here. :blush: However, I'ma need that band not to jump the gun. :umm: Let it simmer *said like MJ - This Is It rehearsals lol*

And just like the tour, the media will be ghost once she delivers better performances later in the month. They were all over Tokyo, but hardly said a word about Singapore, Manila, Thailand, Australia, but I'm sleep lol.

Looks like a bunch of excuses to pretend she still has a voice

The media will be ghost bc Mariah ismt headline news unless it's dramatic. No one cares how her Asian tour's doing.. She is performing in Asian for the same reason MJ moved to the Middle East... To escape reality and fuck Kings

Why are you bringing his opinion over here :umm:. He posted in there for a reason.

 

Anyway - excuses she still has a voice? He pointed out the proof she still has one albeit not as good as her past. You only need to go watch the videos but off course you won't. She needs vocal lessons though and a few sessions at AA. 

 

They cared enough to talk about the opening night and not talk about the other nights where she actually sounded good. Good news doesn't sell as much as juicy news though lol.

The same reason he posted his delusional opinion in her fan thread.. Bc I can ;)

Sure she does have a voice but If I want to hear Mariah Carey.. I would press play on my iPhone music app.. Something's are better in their prime

No one cares about her Asian tour. Let's see how fair she does during her US/European tour :)

You were wrong.

 

Then go ahead and do that :umm:

 

You missed what I said. They cared ENOUGH to post about their opening night where she sounded bad yet the moment she sounds good they ignore it - which is what knobheads like yourself do too. I posted a video of her sounding good last year and you never replied back, probably because you were too busy wiping the egg off your face :lmao:

No I posted her performing in Australia (which our own TE went to) after you claimed she'd lost her voice. 

 

Neither is Mariah as has been proven time and time again. Sure she has a lot of bad performance these days. But she also has good ones which you always ignore. It's whatever though.

LOL I claimed? I'm not the media.. I'm not here for her pre-taped, flopping tour in Australia either.

Not even her fans expect a great performance. Your expectations are too high :lmao:. Good is one where she sings in tune and can still belt. And she has plenty of them in the last 3 years that aren't lipped.

high expectations? Blame Janet Jackson

 

That's good? Then I too have had a lot of good performances in the last three years

As of late, it seems that the Official Threads have devolved into a cesspool of personal attacks, constant back and forth, etc.

With the spike of reports that have come about, it's clear that something needs to be done as it is tiresome.

A good debate is OKAY in the Official Threads of other artists. Not all threads are to be a lovefest as you all do not even do that for Janet and this forum is dedicated to her; however, the need to come in there and "troll" and "bait" fans of that particular artist is not. The reason it is not okay is because it always devolves into something personal and results in attacks that go too far.

In addition, do NOT use Janet as a put down either in order to boast about your particular artist to defend.

Please use your good judgment and common sense. If you are not able to, I and the moderating team will exercise our judgment, and wewill no longer be handling out first warnings as this annoucement has served that purpose.

Thanks,

Angie
