I haven't heard Mariah sound this good in quite some time! It's encouraging to know that even with all the vocal troubles she's had over the past few years, it is possible for her to get her act together and give us a taste of the glory days. True, her voice will never be like it was early and mid-90's, but damn she sounded good at that concert. As for pregnancy speculation, she does look pregnant, but I'm not assuming anything with Mariah. You just never know...
Anyways, hearing her voice in such good condition has made me very excited for a Christmas album in a little over TWO MONTHS! (Am I the only one who realizes how soon it is?)

I don't know if she is preggers... Pregnant women do put on weight but she has put it on everywhere. Face, arms, legs... Just like someone who has gained a few pounds, would. I hope she is preggers though. She'd be a cool mumma!
I remember her sounding great, vocally during the MOAIA era. Very good infact. I remember people asking if she had vocal surgery because her E=MC2 voice was dire in comparison. Since doing promo for MOAIA she has sounded as close to her 90's voice as I've ever heard her sound this past decade.

I'm impressed. She nailed almost every song on the set list.

She needs to ditch the R&B and put out a pop album a la 'Always Be My Baby', 'Heartbreaker', 'Honey' etc Or if she does something R&B- keep it like Breakdown etc. Complaining that Mariah Carey is too R&B is like listening to a country radio station and complaining it's too country. If you don't like R&B music then don't listen to an R&B artist.

For starters, 'Honey' is not Pop. And then people complain about Mariah doing the same R&B piano ballad and you want Mariah to keep doing Breakdown?

Mariah Carey Is Pregnant…A few photos of Mariah with what looks like a baby bump surfaced over the weekend, causing the media to speculate that she is finally preggers. She has yet to publicly announce that she is with child, however, according to a loyal Necole Bitchie reader, her brother was informed that Mariah was pregnant while attending Camp Mariah recently. She writes:
My 13 year old brother is in the Fresh Air Fund program that always goes to Camp Mariah every year for 3 weeks. So every year for the past three years, either her or Nick (when she’s busy), comes to visit the kids, inspires them, boosts up their confidence, etc. When my brother came back from camp last week, he called me at work and all I wanted to know was “did you get to see Mariah again”! Well to my surprise he goes “She couldn’t come this year, she’s pregnant”….So I’m like “what! Thats a rumor, she’s not pregnant”. He goes “No that’s what the counselors told us! She also did a video conference with the camp to apologize for not making it and we all saw her fat belly”. LMAO @ fat belly, but yeah, from the mouth of a 13 year old, Mariah Carey is pregnant.
Congrats to Nick and Mariah…for real this time… I think necolebitchie.com/2010/08/22/mariah-carey-is-pregnant/mariah-carey-brazil-pics/ ![](http://yoursmiles.org/ssmile/fun/s0244.gif)

I do think on the next 'studio' album she'll have more 'aggressive' vocals. I don't see her doing another 'sleepy' album like MOAIA. She'll try and give ppl what they want.

^ I think so, too. I think she'll definitely give the people what they want. I have a feeling also she'll do the dual single thing when it's time for the studio album. She could definitely benefit from one going to Pop/Rhythmic, and one for Urban, possible UAC.

She probably is preggers... I had trouble believing the "marriage" rumors until it was confirmed, and this seems to be the same thing... fans aren't believing it but it's true. I'm going to go out on a limb and believe the Christmas album rumors too.

Is Mariah Carey Pregnant?A video clip of Mariah Carey singing "We Belong Together" during a show in São Paulo, Brazil, on Saturday (Aug. 21) surfaced on the net over the weekend, and the princess of power vox is visibly larger and rounder in the belly, further fueling speculations of pregnancy.The clip, taken at the Festa do Peão de Boiadeiro de Barretos (Barretos Cowboy Festival), has many questioning Carey's baby status, though it hasn't yet been confirmed whether or not the singer is with child.
Her Twitter account has only fed the rumors, as she tweeted post-show: "Seriously, I really do love it here, beautiful people inside and out! Tonite was tuff 4 me 4 personal reasons, but U got me thru!L4L."www.billboard.com/news/is-mariah-carey-pregnant-1004110710.story#/news/is-mariah-carey-pregnant-1004110710.story

How does this make it a fact? I'm now not saying that she isn't, but still.......... Yeah how does the word of camp counselors make it a fact? They were probably just reporting rumors too. Why would they have special privilege to that kind of information? LOL. For starters, 'Honey' is not Pop. And then people complain about Mariah doing the same R&B piano ballad and you want Mariah to keep doing Breakdown? I do think on the next 'studio' album she'll have more 'aggressive' vocals. I don't see her doing another 'sleepy' album like MOAIA. She'll try and give ppl what they want. I think it will probably be another E=MC2 hits collection type album instead of a more conceptual album like her last album. People were craving for that type of an album from her and then when she recorded an album that didnt sound like it was a greatest hits album people complained and the album didnt do as well as expected. Plus shes probably desperate for more hits. Anyone expecting her to jump on the dance bandwagon is in for disappointment though. I dont know why people expect that an artist who has chased R&B trends for 20 years is all of a sudden going to decide shes Lady Gaga. She probably is preggers... I had trouble believing the "marriage" rumors until it was confirmed, and this seems to be the same thing... fans aren't believing it but it's true. I'm going to go out on a limb and believe the Christmas album rumors too. Isnt the Christmas album confirmed now?

[/i] www.billboard.com/news/is-mariah-carey-pregnant-1004110710.story#/news/is-mariah-carey-pregnant-1004110710.story[/quote] I hope she didnt have a miscarriage! I definitely think she has miscarried in the past.

Now that Jennifer Lopez is out, will Mariah Carey be the next American Idol judge? That’s that latest rumor following the recent shake-up over at the hit reality show competition, which recently saw Simon Cowell, Ellen DeGeneres and Kara DioGuadri leaving their posts at the FOX network. The show’s upcoming tenth season was set to feature J. Lo as a judge until her diva demands got her booted from the competish, but now, there’s another diva who’s ready to join remaining judge Randy Jackson on the panel.
“Mariah wants it,” a source tells E! News, adding that her hubbie’s success in primtime has been a big influence. The source also dished that Mimi has seen what America’s Got Talent has done for her man and thinks it would be a “good career move.”
Cannon previously spoke on his wife’s involvement with A.I., telling The Hollywood Reporter that she’s been toying with the decision to join the show as a judge. “She talks about it,” he revealed. “She says, ‘I would love to do that.’ She is one of the greatest singers of our time; she would be great.”

Mariah is still too relevant to be jumping on a sinking ship like Idol for money and publicity. The only new career move she should be making now is expanding her fragrance line and maybe going into jewelry or something.

Heroes of Mariah says he tweeted that Chris Lighty Mariah & Randy Jackson was in the studio until 5am a few nights ago? Why would he know that info? lol Is he on IDJ? I know my artist, but i've never heard of him.

HeyOB! What up A?Where you been hiding at? LOL. Not on Pulse that much. I have been reading RT but y'all are a mess and I can't find things to quote as easily as before so I spend more time in the album threads these days. I can't wait for our girl Mimi to give birth...to a new album. ![:giggle:](//storage.proboards.com/1258812/images/KYziZwTotWGtjvzyvGqr.gif) WOW @ Always Be My Baby VOCALS ARE ON POINT! I wouldn't know. By the time she finally started the song (though I thought her ad-libs were cute), I was forced to listen to what sounded like a dying donkey trying to sing along and so I promptly shut it off. ![:-X](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/lipssealed.png) Hopefully, there are recordings of just Mariah's voice. Complaining that Mariah Carey is too R&B is like listening to a country radio station and complaining it's too country. If you don't like R&B music then don't listen to an R&B artist. Always the voice of reason, I see. This is why you are my fave. It KIIIIILLS me to no end when people (including that nasty pig Perez) keep insisting that Mariah is a pop artist that should be making pop songs. She has had songs that were poppier than others but even then...still R&B. There are a lot of R&B songs from the past that incorporated pop elements (i.e. a more mainstream sound) but everything from her vocal runs to her influences...straight up R&B, people.

I don't know if she is preggers... Pregnant women do put on weight but she has put it on everywhere. Face, arms, legs... Just like someone who has gained a few pounds, would. I hope she is preggers though. She'd be a cool mumma! That's what I said before, she's pregnant but also is gaining weight everywhere...if we take a look at some pics of other pregnant women, we can see that is possible to be pregnant and still be in shape. Gisele is an example. She was like five months and looked very healthy . Mariah is not taking care of her body and being careful about her diet, which is a shame 'cause after giving birth it'll be much more difficult to get shed of the extra pounds. Mariah must be at five months now and I can't imagine how big she'll be by the end of the year when promoting her Christmas album. ![:-X](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/lipssealed.png)

How did I forget Mariahs last venture into jewelry? ![](http://pipandpow.55street.net/news825-7.jpg) She should do very adult jewelry. When shes in her 60s she can be like Liza Minelli with all her clothes and jewelry that she sells to make extra money

Gisele is a world renowned model. Mariah has had trouble with her weight for the past 10 years when shes not pregnant. I wouldnt expect her to be one of those women that tries to be a rail even when pregnant.

I hope she is preggers though. She'd be a cool mumma! Most people that are pregnant do gain it everywhere especially the face and stomach of course. their legs get bigger, butt etc. When normal people gain weight their is always one or two areas where they gain it instantly and then the other areas slowly catch up. Being that she looks to be gaining it everywhere. That face doesn't lie...she has been up and down before and never has gained it everywhere like now. I'm so happy for her and hope that she confirms this in a few weeks or so.

When would she have time to do that show, anyway? I think it'd fit perfectly. IF she is pregnant, she looks to be a few months along. Idol's live shows aren't until March, I believe. She's probably due January or so, and could do the audition rounds next month without problem (and then "Hollywood week" would be no problem in November). She'd have time to promote a Christmas album as well from Thanksgiving to Christmas (as I do not think Idol does anything in that time frame). And would get to work, live and raise a child in L.A. for the first half of 2011 while Idol is on. She'd basically be free from travel burdens and could focus on Idol twice a week and a child the rest of the time. Seems perfect to me.
