Mariah Carey

[Shaka]

In “Somewhat Loved,” I love the way she sings “no such thing as lovers and friends” in the intro chorus, so smooth, but second time the chorus comes in, her tone and enunciation and pitch degrades when she sings “fray-ay-eh-ns” instead of “friiiiiiiiiiends” like the first one

They should just use the first take again there because it’s perfect

I think the bridge would be easier to understand and more appreciated if the whisper adlibs were more in the background too since she sings the top in whisper

I could be very nit-picky but I won't judge a LQ snippet that sounds that it was not mixed yet.

I know what u mean, I love the first "no such thing as lovers and friends".

Loving her tone in the verse more and more.

Regarding the bridge, I will wait for the final product to make a judgement (it has potential to be great!)

I'd love to hear both performances.
Seems like she was very raspy that night, but that husky tone from most of '98 would work for a Hero rendition. I mean, she was super raspy in Honolulu and killed it.
Can't wait, I can't believe we're getting this footage now in HQ!

Haha this reminds me of the new year's eve tea moment!

She's been doing this since '98.

A consistent Queen!

Dont you think the fact she keeps posting video singing with other singers on social medial, and talking about collabs is a hint to a project about duets? Maybe for xmas or no xmas related.

What your thoughts on it?

Honestly, I don't think so.

I'd love a non-xmas duet album with big features tho.

I said something similar a few months back and was shot down haha.

Regarding IDWC, let me praise dem low airy verses, that’s my favorite airy register of hers and I think that’s the only time she’s used it in studio

Love it, it sounds so lush.
She used a similar technique in EFA & TTEOT - tho these ones a bit fuller.

[allygdale]

The bridge is def a no no.

The melody is so good though! Injects some R&B into it

I think the adlibs distract from it though

[SawyerHewitt]

I’m still confused as to why Mary J Blige was nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of fame BEFORE Mariah when she was inspired by Mariah.

Guys, I have a theory.

You know how Mariah likes to throw hints when working on something but not reveal it. In a way that it is almost impossible to see it.

Whata your thoughts on it?

Maybe on a few of the master re-recordings, like Brandy? I would take Bruno Mars on “Miss You Most” but I hope she’s not spending much more time recording more Xmas music when the original AIW and CBPCH are just going to continue to dominate

I think Liron is in charge of her IG content now, she asked Liron when the second vaccine shot video was coming on the chat, so as a lamb she just knows where to find the performances, I wouldn’t think too much of it

Yay we love Marys off key ass and stan to eternity, and this isnt shade, we really do - BUT, girl...... let me get this straight, you were a teenager singing LTT at clubs and you're saying MC saved your and other kids' from the projects lives... Really now? sis you aint fooling NOBODY!

I don’t really get what you mean. Mary has never wavered with her take on Mariah and what it meant for her to see her rise to success and if you know about Mary’s dark childhood/younger days you’d know what she meant. They are similar ages but Mary came out two years after Mariah they were both young girls from broken homes in New York it was most certainly inspirational to see Mariahs rise to fame. I love the respect they have for each other.

Hmmmmmm interesting that Range Media follows around 200 people on Instagram and one of those people is Tommy

They’ve yet to follow Mariah.

That's because they have a partnership with Tommy Mottola and co, which was announced in March:

Tommy Mottola, Lex Borrero Launch Latin Content Engine Ntertain With Range Media Partners
https://variety.com/2021/film/news/t...rs-1234935975/

Veteran music executives Tommy Mottola and Lex Borrero have teamed up with Range Media Partners to form Ntertain — a new cross-platform content company focused on Latino talent and storytelling.

Ntertain has been quietly operational for the past six months, and is imminently preparing a slate of scripted and unscripted series and features, a well as podcasts, from top creators. The company is studio agnostic and will sell to the open market with the assistance of the Pete Micelli-led Range.

The new venture is financed by all three partners and a group of private investors, Mottola told Variety, and was conceived with Neon16’s head of creative, Ivan Rodriguez. Full creative and business executive announcements are expected in the coming days.

Top-billed Mariah Carey stopped by for only a cup of tea (she sipped it through a straw between the two numbers she sang, hoping to ease a scratchy throat

Haha this reminds me of the new year's eve tea moment!

She's been doing this since '98.

Mary singing Love Takes Time <3

But do repeat the overall quality and variety that highlighted this dozen-act bill. This was a nice day of music, even though it had lots of potential for disappointment:

* Top-billed Mariah Carey stopped by for only a cup of tea (she sipped it through a straw between the two numbers she sang, hoping to ease a scratchy throat).


* Will Smith provided a celebrity turn, not a musical one, chatting about his hit song, “Gettin’ Jiggy Wit’ It,” instead of trying to perform it freestyle, as an instinctive rapper would have (the movie star could have slain the adoring house with just a passable attempt).

* Olivia Newton-John, the focal point for the show’s charity angle in aiding the fight against breast cancer, was given too little time, and what little she did have came at the wrong time: She sang her lone number, “I Honestly Love You,” for a restless, late-afternoon crowd more interested in dinner than a plaintive, inward ballad.

Balancing those letdowns was the warmth and sincerity Carey brought to her two songs, set to canned backing tracks. Even if her voice was a little grainy for this, her first concert appearance in Southern California in nearly five years, it was a strong, full-bodied performance that made the pop-operatic sweep and over-the-top sentiment of “Hero” and “My All” believable and human. It made one wish she would put more stock in touring (Carey played a few overseas dates early this year, but she told the Wango crowd that she will make her first movie instead of touring the U.S.).

Carey’s big voice and videogenic looks may have sold nearly 90 million records this decade, but music fans’ most lasting memories usually come from the concerts of the acts they love. She should invest some time and effort in creating those memories.

Can't find any info about the Wango Tango concert.

Only this poster (and the pics that I posted before with Mariah wearing the bra she looked hot af tho!)

[MrDash]

Looking forward to this new performance on Youtube.

And now they spend a week or two.

[allygdale]

Yeah, could be!
Some detective lamb will find out that soon!

Hopefully there won't be a mix of vocals from different Eras.
If this is an old song, I hope she fully recorded with her current voice.
Or maybe it was written but never recorded? Remember that The Dream made the demos with their vocals.

Dem vocals sound new to me, the piano notes are very The-Dream, if she’s resurrecting 2009 she betta resurrect SD

[Shaka]

Not her performing Hero in a bra

Of course she did

I wish it was my all performance tho. I don’t need another 1097474 performance of hero but I love it anyway cause it’s an old and never been seen performance

The Hero performances from Butterly Era are everything.

How did no one catch this last year.......

I totally missed that

But we're having it in over a month!

Strange that no one recorded the performance tho, like all those channels on YT.

[mm2912]

How did no one catch this last year.......

And how we can’t seem to find that performance ?

[LambChild]

Btw here’s the info about hero
