Mariah bombs at tree lighting http://www.usatoday.com/s.../19879249/
http://gawker.com/does-ma...1666472061 Mariah Carey, she of a thousand octaves and probably a few more only dogs can hear, accidentally left her voice at home Wednesday during NBC's annual Christmas broadcast. During her annual rendition of "All I Want for Christmas Is You," Carey missed most of the high notes she's famous for, leaving her backup singers to pick up the slack. It was disappointing. (Here's last year's for comparison.) According to TMZ, Carey was actually supposed to pre-tape her segment Tuesday but allegedly blew off her scheduled time slot for a phone meeting with her divorce attorney. When she finally showed up, three hours late, NBC execs sent her home without filming. She later apologized on Twitter: Taking a page from Bill O'Reilly, the network reportedly decided, Fuck it, we'll do it live, and relented, giving Mariah a last-minute spot on Wednesday's broadcast. It wasn't her best performance. But then again, it wasn't her worst. At least it was live! Let's just blame Nick Cannon for this and hope next year goes better.

I don't think she bombed, it wasn't that bad.
That said, it doesn't look like she's happy, maybe she should just quit. It feels like it's not working anymore. It feels forced. | |

Mariah hasn't sung well in years. Not sure what happened to her voice, but she is terrible these days. She needs to give it up or go see a Dr. Perhaps there is something he/she can do to help. I could never figure out why she was so popular and sold so many records. She hasn't been good in years. | |

Never understood the hype with her. All those runs & ear piercing tones do nothing to my ears but make them bleed. | |

I don't understand why this performance (of all) is spreading through the media. She's given MUCH WORSE performances. One commenter said she dodged the whistles. Umm, this song doesn't have any whistles.
Besides, Mariah's vocal during this performance is better than any artist currently being played on Top 40.
Instead, they should be dragging her for the contouring on her double chin. Good lord, did Coco Montrese do her makeup??
She did sound dry though!! I'm a lamb but I tell it like it is. "Keep in mind that I'm an artist...and I'm sensitive about my shit."--E. Badu | |

> No this really is bad. Amateurish at best. But at least she tried. Remember those days when she was promoting "We Belong Together" with that canned final note? I don't think she ever sang that note outside of the studio. | |

Oh wow! I think Mariah should just retire already. She has no voice anymore and she was never a great performancer. She's made enough money so she should be good. BlackCat1985 | |

I won't go as far and say that it's over for MC, but she needs to evaluate her situation at this point. She needs to go and fine tune her instrument and stop making bullshit music. | |

Patti been screaming for 50 years and still can handle her business. Aretha and Gladys may not have that range anymore, but they damn sure can carry a tune | |

I don't understand-how did she lose her voice? Drugs? How does this happen and can it be reversed? "Lack of home training crosses all boundaries." | |

She should take some time off,deal with her personal problems (divorce) and find some time to work with a voice coach.When she gets it together,come back with a strong album. | |

Wow! I think you guys and most other social media commentators are overreacting! This is not that bad at all. I was expecting much worse judging from what i've read. I thought she sounded pretty strong but yes, definitely a little winded and couldn't hit the high notes so well. I think if Mimi did more cardio, perhaps she would have more stamina during performances but it really wasn't that bad. This was way better than any Taylor Swift performance I've ever seen. In fact better than most top 40 acts out there today. | |

It wasn't that bad, but she has definitely lost something. She doesn't sing as well as she used to. It seems that entertainers just don't know when to hang it up though. | |

She is in need of long layoff, possible retirement is imminent. She looks woredown. | |

My favorite singer, who people here probably haven't heard of developed problems singing live in mid-career in the late 80's - early 90's, but it was largely psychological. People talked up how perfect and beautiful her voice was.. and that she had the "voice of an angel" blah blah blah and I think the psychological pressure became too much, along with serious relationship problems. She went to a shrink and a vocal coach and in time she got it all back and she's been sounding perfect ever since.
I think MC's problems are probably psychosomatic too (i.e. she's having real physical results from psychological stress). She needs to take a time out, get her head straight first with a shrink, get her self-esteem issues under control, and slowly ease her way back into music with a vocal coach. Even the best of opera singers use them, there should be no shame in asking for help in getting back what she once had. Change it one more time.. | |

She just had an "off" performance. It was cold outside and instead of breakin' her down, why not just build your sista UP? It's a rangey song and she handled it with her usual aplomb despite the pitch issues. Her throat was probably dry and the air most likely didn't help matters any. LOVE Mariah! Hungry? Just look in the mirror and get fed up. | |

Her name's Elizabeth Fraser (Liz Fraser), a scottish singer. She's probably best known in the US for singing on the Massive Attack song Teardrop that was used as the opening music of the tv show House. I think that was Massive Attacks only real hit too. But she was the singer for the Cocteau Twins (who inspired the Prince song TicTacToe), She was also known in the US for having a somewhat psychotic episode/nervous breakdown in her first appearance on US late nite TV on Jay Leno in 93. After that is when she says she just stop being able to sing and didn't recover until a while time into therapy. Since 98 she's become a recluse though.. but she does occasionally still perform.. Here's one the later tracks that she sings on: http://youtu.be/URvC-7lcrvI Change it one more time.. | |

lovely. Mariah hasn't taken well care of voice. She indulges in drinking;possibly smoking. It is a harsh reality, she was great one in lifetime voice. | |
