Mariah's very tricky. It seems like it could be live since it doesn't sound exaaaactly like the record, but it could still be pre-recorded. Where's that FAIL video of her lipping the whistle note to "Boy I Need You"? The whistle note started and her mouth was still closed, and it kept replaying over and over. I laughed for 5 minutes.

^ That is the definition of not-lipped. Literally.

I just watched the WBT Grammy live again and I also think she lipped the climax of it. It not only looks like it, but something about the sound quality of the climax part sounds different from the rest of the vocals. Also it's kind of suspicious the way she brings up her arm to cover up her face during that last long note.

The Grammy performance is 100% live. Is beyond clear that she's singing. There are multiple parts that she lipsynched to re-recorded vocals. Just listen to the first verse into the chorus; her voice is so unstable. Then the instant the bridge hits she turns her head and it's suddenly so clear lol? Then when she stops lipping and goes into the big note it's a strain fest. I know it's a useless argument since we're never going to agree so I won't bother anymore lol. Here's one of my favorite Mariah performances ever: I cannot believe she lost Best Female Vocal that year. WTF. Thank you for sharing that video! LOVED it! I especially loved right at the end when Mariah was done, her face was like MMHM YOU KNOW THAT WAS GOOD GIRL.

Here's one of my favorite Mariah performances ever: Wow, that is even better than the SNL performance. 'If It's Over' is my favourite song from Mariah EVER. Not one gal from today could even touch the range, controlled melisma, changes from head to chest voice to whistle notes, or clarity of Mariah at her peak then. She is truly a vocal LEGEND ! :o

Mariah is AMAZING bottom line, she's a tremendous SANGER !!! She can and has hit her notes live. Move On. Just because the notes are that great does not mean it's lipped... Anyway Susan Boyle ain't mopping the floor up with Mariah by any means. That was just stupid to say. Queen Mariah holds her own. Know that. She's in her own league.

That dowdy creature doesn't deserve to be in the same shopping bag as Mimi so you might as well save your money and buy Christina's Special Kind of Christmas or whatever it's called. Just like the marriage to Nick, I will be waiting for official confirmation before I start congratulating her. I had to burn that s**t after the first listen. What An AWFUL Christmas album BTW, I still don't think she's pregnant. ??? ??? ??? How would she be planning to release an album in a couple of months if she were to have a baby so soon??? I'm curious about this new Christmas album... I really am.

Mariah Carey found a unique way to let everyone know that the title to her forthcoming Christmas album release is still to be confirmed. She replied back to Nick Cannon’s tweet about the album title being called Merry Christmas II You: Mariah Carey: nickcannon that’s not a confirmed title Dearest heart! I never said what kind of an album it is My Love! What? : )

On side note, Mariah does that a lot(the hands in her face) IMO , because she doesn't want people focusing on the faces she make. lol I truly believe that.

Isn't that last long note part of the climax, at least for that song? Anyway, yeah, I don't know if that last note was part of the lip-synched part. It just looks like it could have been to me.

I'm curious about this new Christmas album... I really am. Umm...easy. The promo lasts til Christmas, and when Christmas is over, promo is over. She's supposedly 4 months pregnant now, so the baby should not arrive til after the Holidays.

I find it funny her own husband is tweeting her Christmas album news like he's a gossip columnist, and her tweeting him back correcting him on what to tweet. No communication there?? Like I said in the other thread, she plays too many games and tries to be all tricky. If it's the title, then just admit it.

I have seen performances oversea before the Rainbow era where she's lipping AND she's NOT doing those hands over her face mannerisms. It's obviously a self-conscious thing she has going on, something that has developed throughout time. And to make it clear,. I'm not saying Mariah doesn't lip because hse obviously does it, just like many do. I'm just saying during that performance of WBT she didn't lip. Especially the bridge, a section of the song she sings live all the time. If she was to lip any section of that song it would've been that last note: togetherrrrr, which clearly she didn't.

The bridge is exactly the section of the song where she lipped every single time but one, which was the BET Blueprint performance, LOL. Anyway, this is pointless, we'll never agree.

I think Mariah started lipping during the Daydream era. A few performances of 'Fantasy' in Europe were lipped, but she sang everything else live, I think.
