If I were her, her next Vegas show after this, she should perform each studio album live, one for each night. Take all of the lamb money you can. It would definitely be nice to hear Charmbracelet with better vocals.

Hopefully we get some word on those pre-sales that are due to start from tomorrow though. Her own website is lacking on detail.
eta: looks like the Live Nation code will be "ENERGY" - but that starts on Feb 8
I assume the 'Official Platinum' presale that starts on Feb 7 is for those hugely overpriced Platinum seats. Plus there's a presale tomorrow for Citi card holders 😒

I'm very intrigued whether it'll be a true celebration of TEOM or if it's just another label for the same ol' setlist. I know the statement talks about a mix of TEOM and hits, but are we getting Circles? Are we getting Stay The Night? (...she can keep To The Floor). I wish she would have just gone all out and made it a live performance of the entire album, with little medley of some hits midway if need be. [Obsessed finishes]"..... Everything is you....... How can I pull though......Does anyone know this one?...... My heart is consumed, I'm so confused......DOES ANYONE KNOW THIS ONE??!........OK, this is my song Hero..." Look... LOLOL, but yeah, I hear you and honestly, I don't trust Mariah when it comes to things like this. With all the Frankensteining of vocals that went on in the Emancipation album, I literally cannot imagine her doing that whole album start to finish, particularly Mine Again, Stay The Night, Circles, and I Wish You Knew. In a perfect world, she would be doing what The Killers are doing for their residency in August - Hot Fuss played front-to-back, with about 9 hits thrown in after.

Not Frankensteining 😵 but yeah, I’d love a front-to-back album show, where she makes good use of background singers and (reluctantly) pre-recorded vocals to take the pressure off with some of those lines and notes.

I would love her to do "To The Floor" live, LOL. Throw it in a medley or something lol. That one has become one of my favorites on TEOM in the past couple of years, when I actually used to detest it; no joke, I used to alternate between that one and "Did I Do That?" as the worst track of her entire catalog. What a bop, though. Whew! I lost it when she did "Say Somethin'" on her Vegas show, right before covid hit. I never expected her to do that one, either.

Her magnum opus does it again 💅 Side story: I wasn’t home for the Grammys and I forgot to record it so I didn’t get to see the MC on MC moment live. And to top it off I had sort of a freak accident where I had to go to the ER for one of my eyes. Sunday was a mess for me. Ugh I hope you're feeling better and this week makes up for Sunday! So excited to hear that Mariah is going to be busy!!

"TTF" certainly isn't bad, but to me it's just...there. I think part of the reason it gets criticized (apart from not really being a banger despite commanding people to the floor) is that Nelly so clearly should have been on "Get Your Number" instead (and that one really is a banger). I am still confused by a tour for a 19th anniversary. It's a more normal anniversary for Memoirs since it's turning 15, and it's had songs go viral lately, but I also get that a Vegas show built around Memoirs just wouldn't have the same general impact. I guess they just needed a theme, and this is all they could come up with lmao. What I'd really love is if they film the making of this Vegas stint and then use it to do a documentary for the 20th anniversary of TEOM next year. They can use old footage to talk about the making of the album, this new making of stuff, and then get new footage where people talk about the impact of the album.

I remember feeling like the era was over before it even started when “TTF” was rumored to be the first single. She far exceeded every expectation.

It also doesn’t help that it sounds like Nelly left his vocals on her voicemail

I’d love for her to do some new arrangements for her songs. It was nice seeing her do a jazzy version of Sweetheart. It would be kind of fun for her to revisit some of her past hits and maybe perform them how she originally intended in the demo form or hear a new arrangement all together.
I also want to ask if she got Nelly on TTF why she just didn’t get him to do Get Your Number too rather than have JD do a cheap version of it. It probably would have helped its cause as single potential having Nelly on it versus JD if he was just going to imitate Nelly.

I don’t think cause she used “Mimi” in the tour title that’s it’s gonna be an Emancipation strictly tour. I read it as a Mariah “Mimi” celebration.
Also, the majority of the songs in TEOM are truly vocally demanding.

Also I love to the floor and get your number. JD on the chorus of get your number is off putting tho. Nelly would have been much better

Just listening to Workin' Hard on the Music Box boxed set and...that song suspiciously sounds like it belongs on Emotions. She had more of a soulful voice on that album and the music was also funky. Great song though. I would have loved it if it was released back then.

Great song though. I would have loved it if it was released back then. I echo everything you wrote there! I also think "My Prayer" was clearly from the Emotions era (or maybe 1992 at the latest). I actually put "MP" on my version of Emotions. I wonder why Mariah hasn't written with Babyface since "Melt Away" (and hasn't worked with him at all since "When You Believe"). They've clearly remained friends and he's actually done a lot for her; introductions for awards, duet for the Hallmark special, the tribute performance last week. I'd love for them to write together again and give as a classic R&B ballad.

"Say Something" wasn't one of my initial favs off TEOM, but it grew to be one of my favs! Absolutely love it!

Yeah, I am convinced that she originally recorded and intended Workin' Hard for Emotions or came from those sessions and they already felt like they had a complete album, so they scrapped it altogether and she was like...you know what? Lemme throw it on this Music Box anniversary edition so the lambs have it. The remix>>>>>>>>>>the original though. Whew! Now, it wouldn't surprise me at all if My Prayer was actually for Music Box, given the whole 1950's AC vibe of it, but I could see it it being the bridge between the two.
When I think of Say Somethin', I think of what led me to Pulse in the first place! That was when I was scouring the internet for any news I could find about TEOM and all I could hear was "SAMPLE CLEARANCE ONLY!" tag throughout SS.

She probably went home after she left the stage. lol Is it true that she doesn't like to sit in the audience during award shows?

Lol that story Coco Yu'Kneek- Saint posted sounds like a movie scene tbh. She probably went home after she left the stage. lol Is it true that she doesn't like to sit in the audience during award shows? I assumed she left after presenting since we never saw her again. In the last 20-25 years it is definitely rare that she sits in the audience for the duration unless she's nominated/being honored. Did we even get audience shots of her at the 2010 Oscars?

I’m not going to lie none of that award show seating looks comfortable, so I don’t know that I would sit there for 3-4 hours either.
