Mariah Carey

[tee]

Mariah Bruno might sound so smooth and cool. I think everyone would want to hear it. But lets be real, the chances are extremely rare that it will happen. I still stand by the idea that Mariah and Dallas Austin would make something so classic, so great that it would be an instant lamb favorite!

[allygdale]

She was on fire in the San Jose date for the CB Tour.

My Saving Grace

CAN'T WAIT FOR VOL PERFORMANCE!

Her singing technique on this tour has never been replicated in studio

She really said that’s a no no to all breathiness and just sang from the gut, her tone is everything

[allygdale]

I wonder if Mariah is attempting to do what was a clearly planned thing from other artists like HER and Victoria Monet:

She would probably have to ask to get on it

These kinds of collabs are usually a result of record label people pitching an idea unless an artist sincerely reaches out

[Mckenry]

Leave The Door Open is such a great song. I can hear Mariah doing the ad-libs at the end of the song. The whole sound is like something Mariah could have written. A remix with Mariah would be great, but a new song would be even better.

I can hear Mariah on Versace On The Floor when I first heard it esp during the runs and belting parts. Bruno is one of my favorite singers after our Queen, and a duet is definitely welcomed. I hope he's one of the male singers (along with Drake or Khalid) they've been working out to sign in for her next album.

Yes, of course.

It was the case with Miguel as well - which I think a MC-BM collab would be similar to.

Overall, a collab with a current artist like Bruno brings with it the support that she may not typically get from her own camp now (e.g. Oh Santa!).

[tee]

Oh Santa did nothing unfortunately. First and foremost the song has to be great. Good wont cut it. It has to be great. I believe Mariah can still do great. My fear is without label support she may have to reach out to these people on her own. My fear also is the two males she hinted at were actually Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis. You know Mariah the troll lol #chacha

[allygdale]

Yes, of course.

True! I wish she were with a label for distribution and A&R and radio support, like Beyoncé is with Columbia, Rihanna is with Def Jam, Taylor Swift is with Republic

The work around for expensive music videos is to find product tie ins, but she’s only done it with AIWFCIY (Make My Wish Come True Edition)

[Leo]

None of these songs are in my Top 10

No way... the real deal is the Mariah Discography Rate currently presenting Top100 songs!

[Shaka]

Yeah the whole sitting thing was kinda odd. Especially the performance on they hay bails

LOL, yeah.
The good thing is she looked utterly stunning and this was all pre-Evil Era.
But all the #B performances were meh.

She was so statuesqe during this tour. She looked like an athlete!

Bish was TONED AF.

[Shaka]

I felt bad for Mimi during the #B performances, Miguel is an incredible singer but he’s always singing a different melody and can’t decide what key he is doing live

This gave her no room to adlib or harmonize, I wanted her to tell him to sing the right notes

it was impossible

The biggest slay was the rehearsal of ABMB, sis was on fire

I don't think he's "incredible" but he's great!
But yeah, he's always changing the melodies, it's ok when u're doing a solo, but when u're doing a duet you have to control yourself and match some vocals with your partner, Mariah seemed loss all the time LMAO and sometimes she wanted to harmonize but it was impossible.

My favorites #B performances is either Jamaica (which was a mess but I love it anyway LOL) and the one she did at MLB All-Star Charity Concert (and Miguel wasn't on any of them LOL).

---

And yeah, that ABMB rehearsal was a serve.
Also the raw takes from Idol were AMAZING.

---

Her voice was actually in such good condition around this time.
I know the American Idol performance got slated because of the lipping accusations but her range and belts were unstoppable

Yeah, but the problem was that they edited the medley and she sounded very thin and chipmunk-ish with some effect they added and has MIAM album written all over it.
Plus they used vocals from 3 different takes and sometimes her mouth wasn't matching what she was singing.

The raw takes were MILES BETTER.

Compare the quality of her voice:

UNDUBBED

No matter the quality of the song, if there isnt anything to back it up and support it, it honestly does not matter. Things like viral music videos, playlisting, ability to purchase in multiple places, etc etc.

So IMO, Oh Santa, or any song, being good/great/poor/bad doesnt really matter.

Mariah sounds so good in that ABMB rehearsal. I always feel so frustrated for her when she has great vocal moments in the rehearsal or in her concert and then has to deal with stuff during the highly-televised performances. I hope she can have a moment when her voice is slaying and everyone is watching the performance!

I agree.
When was the last time that this happened tho? LOL.
I think she did a great job at the New Years Eve performance 2017/2018, despite being EXTREMELY NERVOUS. Hero was amazing.
The Distance at Fallon was good and also With You at GMA (tho lots of lipping going on).

I'm fear that she gets used to these pre-recorded performances she's doing from her home and then loose some confidence to do it 100% live on a set.

Without a proper record deal we will get nothing of a proper era. Unfortunately. It is a shame an artist of Mariah caliber is in this position in her career. Thank Goodness for AIWFCIY. I can not bare to think what her career would look like without it.

[Shaka]

How amazing would this be?!

Happy that she's so publicly open to collabos now.

That is honestly and personally the sexiest Mariah look post pregnancy ever.

Yeah, she looked hot af.
I love the whole vibe.

Don't know about Rihanna but Mariah and Taylor are never out of their six inch heels lol.

Rihanna is as tall as Mariah.
Taylor is 1.80m, Mariah around 1.75m and Rihanna 1.74/1.75m as well.

True. However WBT (as with even as much work that went into that one) was a special song. It screamed hit and made everyone fall back in love with Mariah when they already made up their minds long time ago about her

[Shaka]

Wow @ Mariah cosigning the Bruno collab. Would be awesome. Explore that old-school vibe with current producers. Perfect for her.

Definitely.

Leave The Door Open is such a great song. I can hear Mariah doing the ad-libs at the end of the song. The whole sound is like something Mariah could have written. A remix with Mariah would be great, but a new song would be even better.

Yep.
Bruno's parts are very Boyz II Men-esque.

100% agree.
Her technique here is better than on Daydream.
When she performed Hark! in this tour (2 o 3 times) she sounded divine, her voice was so damn fulll.
And yeah, tone is to die for. The richness!

[Shaka]

No way... the real deal is the Mariah Discography Rate currently presenting Top100 songs!

I'm not happy with that list either, LOL.

Sad but true.

I don't like that pic
They could've chosen a better still from the MV tbh.

If We Belong Together was released today, do people think it would top the charts?

[tee]

No. But something that big with that much relatability that fits in this music climate could work. A great song is a great song. Great music is great music. And when it is great (like career defining great) it will always find an audience.

[Shaka]

If We Belong Together was released today, do people think it would top the charts?

No. At all.

[markwalde]

I don’t think so. I think is too long and a bit boring for me. The video doesn’t really have rewatch value. It’s a vault item and that’s all.

[Shaka]

More performances from San Jose (CB Tour)

All the attempts!

JOY TO THE WORLD

AIWFCIY

CAN'T TAKE THAT AWAY

MAKE IT HAPPEN

This is my favorite MIH performance after MSG I think (and Sydney).
I love that Outro moment.
She supported a sustained E5 with vibrato.

HERO

Eb5 at 1:28, wow!

[Shaka]

VISION OF LOVE, SAN JOSE (CB TOUR)

This is one of her best dates from the CBWT.
She was really experimenting with her voice and did things she didn't attempt in any other show.
