Decided to buy the new collection today. My excuse is that I am buying it for my parents but keeping the physical copy LOOOL. Anything for this woman, I swear. They don't have any Mariah music - my stepdad LOVES her and my mom can't stand her but she will have to deal.

Have you all heard some of her vocals from last night? Some serious wow moments. I saw the clips, she sounds so good! Decided to buy the new collection today.

You seriously need to watch "Vision of Love" from last night. The last time she killed it like this was the early 00's: http://instagram.com/p/28zklErDrE http://instagram.com/p/28Mu-1vvXl I'm looking for a full YT video of it, but nothing has surfaced yet. MC's voice sounds really resonant and clear; makes me think her bronchitis must be subsiding.

I hope they have the next album ready to go for next season of Vegas, so the promo will be good!

She has started doing her verse of "TGIFY," too, and it sounds great!

Damn! She did her thing on that song. Too bad she can't do that on all of her songs. Her vocals are getting there in terms of consistency.

Has the full video of her Kimmel show been posted?
She does VOL/Infinity, TMB, ABMB, and WBT. She also sings a small bit of ISB and then parts of The Roof. She also talks to the audience a lot.

Here is "TGIFY" with the 1st verse: #eargasm I've been texting this performance to friends, and every single one of them has loved it. This is the kind of performance that needs to somehow go viral. I am just really loving the sound of her voice on it. The performance almost brings me to tears (especially 1:09-1:42, but really the whole thing). The timbre of her voice is unmatched.

It just goes to show if she spent some time reworking some of her catalog into a manner she enjoys and can sing in a comfortable manner that it would benefit her greatly. She was very casual and confident in her TGIFY performance. I think she would be overwhelmingly surprised at the positive feedback she would get by making some changes to some of her catalog. Everyone is looking for the fuck ups, so it would benefit her to just do the songs in a manner she likes and do them well.

Mariah was on Kelly and Michael today. She seemed tired but sounded almost as good as Kimmel which I thought was better than the BMA's. She performed her "Vision Of Love/Infinity" medley. Her movements seemed almost lethargic during both the interview and performance. Again maybe she was very tired.

I am ashamed of myself that I even hesitated buying this. I brought it into work with me (because I am going home for the weekend and leaving from work) and I gave it to my coworker to play. She is seriously geeking out. Also, I know now why Mariah still has to remind people all the time that she writes her own songs. My coworker had no idea and now says she respects her even more. She was like "I knew her range was crazy and I love all of these songs but I had NO idea she wrote these songs or that she had the record for most #1s." She is overwhelmed right now. It must be so amazing to discover Mariah's amazingness for the first time. She is thanking me now for making her morning and says she is so happy she is listening to the CD. The impact of the Queen. Just beautiful.

OMG. Even after I finished playing the #1 to Infinity album, I have had 3 random Mariah songs pop up, even though my phone is on shuffle: Outside and then skip a couple songs and IWKWLI and Almost Home (Alternate Version) come on back to back. Mariah is taking over my phone!!

Everyone is looking for the f**k ups, so it would benefit her to just do the songs in a manner she likes and do them well. I think what it shows is that people just love the sound of Mariah's voice. Her timbre is unparalleled. I think it's also why her biggest songs - Hero, We Belong Together, Dreamlover, etc - tend to be ones that have great melodies that sit in a great place in her range. Those songs really showcase the sound of her voice, as does that "TGIFY" performance. People respond really well to her singing a clear melody in her mid-range. For my money she struggles live sometimes with the airy notes and the intricate runs; those can be impressive, and on record they make some emotional sense, but in a live performance they don't come across as well. That's where in a one-off performance she could just get up there and sing in her natural register. When has she ever done just a simple, intimate performance at an awards show?

The bitch just turned it out at Kelly and Michael. Crazy what a couple of performances into the song does it for her. I mean, had the blillboard number been the one NEXT she would have completely murdered it. i lived

I mean, had the blillboard number been the one NEXT she would have completely murdered it. i lived I think it might be about the setting as much or more than the number of performances. She gets tight/nervous about big performances (which makes sense considering she knows how they will be scrutinized). Being tight obviously isn't great for a singer considering they need relaxed vocal cords and the like. When it isn't a big, live setting Mariah is much more relaxed and thus gives better performances. I am not denying that multiple performances help, but considering she's been performing in Vegas, she has had practice. The BMAs were also fairly soon after she supposedly had bronchitis, so there was that issue, too.
