Mariah Carey Round 2

[Julie's Haircut]

Well, it wasn't a disaster like last year, but her performance was mediocre at best. Raspy, out of tune voice, but I suppose I'll give her props for singing live rather than lip syncing.

As always, despite the 10 degree weather, flaunting her boobs was her #1 priority rather than singing.

Happy New Year

She did good for being really cold. You could tell she was freezing.

 

[Wishing on a star]

NOT a fan....
But, if were a singer who made a gabillion dollars off my voice, I would never have sang in 0' temperatures and sub-zero wind-chill.
It would be lip-syncing... And if some didn't understand, then hey, so be it!

I saw that she did make an effort!
But, complaining on a major live broadcast that your hot-tea didn't show up... Really????
She is what she is!!!!!

PS: I agree about the bare boobs... She could have even had an absolutely beautiful, tailored, warm coat, with gorgeous fur trim, etc... made for the occasion.
Her priority is def. her own boobs!!!!

For quite a while now her priority hasn't been singing but about her boobs and how much skin she can show. Performances are about what skimpy outfit she can squeeze in to, how "good" she can look. It hasn't been about the music in a long time.

A lot of people sang out in that weather and did a heck of a lot better then she did.

The worst part was the conversation with her about how great she did this year after last year, I thought that was tacky.
Jenny McCarthy congratulating her, I mean please.......

The other people half their boobs wasn’t hanging out. Which made her extra cold

I haven't been a fan of her music in decades but I don't think she did terrible. I also thought she looked beautiful, boobs and all.

 

[Wendy31]

The kids & I were playing UNO, so I was just barely watching.

However, I thought she sounded better than last year & about what I expected - she sounded like an aging diva who is more concerned, at this point in her career, w/ her looks & sex appeal than w/ her voice.

 

[CrankyDad]

Fake boobs. She paid a ton for them so showing off them off, I guess

 

[Tigerlulu]

Hey if I spent that much money on boobs, I'd be showing them off too.

 

[ShirikiUtundu]

She had to sing live to prove herself I guess after the fiasco of last year but Vision of Love was a terrible choice. Hero was fine because it doesn't have complicated notes and she did sound good for about the last minute of that song when her vocals finally warmed up. It had to be difficult to sing in that weather so I won't beat down on her for that. But to keep trying to make excuses is pathetic. She should just stop talking about last year so hopefully others will too.

I didn't watch Mariah Carey this year after the train wreck last year. I watched Celine Dion instead.

 

[tcufrog]

I wondered if the dressmaker measured the exact width of her nips to make the straps and then taped them down. She used to have an amazing voice but she needs to retire now.

 

[TipsyTraveler]

I watched Don Lemon get drunk again.

 

[RedAngie]

Definitely not a great performance, but I guess she pulled it off decently enough compared to last year's disaster.

Ryan Seacrest fawning over her was cringe worthy, however.

 

[JPPT1974]

Really think that she is such a you know what. And really a Prima Donna indeed. Needing some tea wow!

 

[mom2rtk]

Wait..... it was New Year's? I was snoozing away since I had to leave the house at 4:45 this morning to take my son to the airport.

I don't much about Mariah Carey but I think a numbers of singers voices deteriorate over time, just like a number of other things go south as we age. What little I have heard from her, it seems like her singing style depends on vocal embellishments. That requires a lot of breath control which diminishes over time. Also it's possible she requested a doctor do something to increase her breaths, and there was a misunderstanding.

Robert Plant couldn't hit thr high notes from Zeppelin's first 4 albums by the time he was 26 or so.

Plant was exactly the guy I had in mind when I was typing that post! He still makes terrific music, very different from Zeppelin, but the high notes are in his rear view mirror.
