I thought we used to wait til page 95 or so to start new threads. Whatever. So my post doesn't get lost in the shuffle, I will re-post:
I like that Mariah looked understated and plain, even in those mega high heels and touching her body the way she did. I definitely agree that the network or the show or whatever really dropped the ball on editing but that performance was the most confident I have seen Mariah on stage in a looong time. People must expect her to be doing hula hoops and doing cartwheels across the stage. Did I miss something? Was Mariah ever known for her performance abilities? I have been a fan since 1990 and I don't remember ever being wowed by her performances live, other than vocally. She even changed up the melody a little bit and threw in some extra stuff. I hope the rest of the people outside of Pulse who saw it enjoyed it because that's what really counts.
Startin the thread off on a positive note!

I thought we used to wait til page 95 I can't remember the last time a really active thread (aka Mariah/Kelly/Britney etc) reached the old 100 page mark. It just doesn't happen anymore (probably for the best though, things can start to get "glitchy" in the 90s). Either way, what does it matter? It's just 8 pages. lol |

Lol... I think all us usual posters wanted to be the one starting the new thread. Haven't seen the performance yet, so no comment on that. I just hope that the song picks up steam soon. We haven't seen +2-3m audience jumps for this song yet. Hopefully, those days aren't too far away.

If the sales hold out and the airplay keeps rising, it'll rise at least one spot next week.

^ I hope she goes back to #11 at worst. Airplay gains this week have not been very good, but she jumped 6 positions on iTunes which I hope translates into a decent sales increase. Of coruse, I'm praying for Top 10!

Yeah but aren't the airplay charts computed from Wednesday to Tuesday??? I just hope the airplay gains keep holding up. Anyway, if that is the case we still have 5 more days to go.

I'm putting this back up for discussion. MC playback: Apart from the cover of I want to Know What Love Is all 5 songs have a very digitalised sound MC written all tracks with Dream. Her voice for most part has gone down a key register only heard signature high nite on H.A.T.E U but even then it was a mere whispher. H.A.T.E U is polar opposite to Obsessed. In lyrics MC obsesses over ex 'we changed, i sat alone & cried. why is it so hard to say goodbye' Candy Bling fave with radio sees MC reminiscing about past. Says 'Go DJ' alot, mentions Mohammed Ali, butterflys but not Mary Poppins lol Favourite track was Impossible which even uses Blackstreet-type autotune for backing vocals.. MC ALBUM OUT 14 SEPTEMBERI'm still excited for this album, but I must say that this is the first time I've been a little disappointed. It seems like Auto-Tune is taking over the album. It was all right on "Obsessed" because I assumed that was the only song that would have it, and it works well with the subject of the song. However, these reviews tell us a different story. Apparently, these songs have Auto-Tune: - "Obsessed"
- "Impossible"
- "Standing Ovation"
- Possibly the other two we've heard about, though the "digital" sound may not specifically be Auto-Tune.
- Possibly the other eight songs.
Mariah is above this. |

I am NOT being a fan of this digitalized thing at all. I grew to like it and got used to it in Obsessed, but using it in the whole album?  |

Not dramatic at all. I've just never been a fan of auto tune.

LOL What? You haven't even heard it for yourself, how can you say Mariah is above it? Mariah is regarded as one of the best singers of all time. In my opinion, Auto-Tune is primarily for those who need assistance when singing. Like I said, I'm okay with it on "Obsessed" because it's more stylistic, but I don't want to hear it on every song! I don't want to listen to a Mariah song and hear completely Auto-Tuned belts and whistles. I'm beginning to think she needs it, though, which is not good. I for one wish she would just have the nodule surgery. Julie Andrews was an anomaly. Mariah would most likely be fine. Justin Timberlake did it, and it did wonders for his voice. I still want the album. I focus mostly on the music and lyrics; a great voice is a bonus. I guess as long as there's one song with classic belting and whistles, I'll be fine. "I Want to Know What Love Is" sounds like that song. I'll enjoy the Auto-Tuned songs, but they won't be my favorites. |

You haven't even heard it. ONE person says everything sounds autotuned (out of all the reviews, ONE person) and people start tripping and saying the whole album is autotuned? Sounds like dramaticking to me.
