I thought she sounded great and she looked great too. I thought her outfits weren't too bad either. She has nice legs so why now show them off and then I liked that she wore a mesh top for the second performance w/jeans. I just wish she knew how to dance a little. I'm not talking about full on choreography but just something where she could at least move her hips as she often looks stiff.

I thought she sounded as "stiff" as you said she looked

Too bad as I was hoping it would be a killer performance - however, good to hear the new singles "Touch My Body" and "Migrate" which was just so-so

I thought it was wack... I like Mariah, but those performances were horrible
she's taking a beating on alot of the blogs

I thought it was a little too but at the same time, I don't know what else she could have done. She's always pretty much stood around and sang and when she tries to dance people tear her down. What else was she supposed to do especially at the last minute?

I guess i got to cut her some slack being that she did fill in last minute for my girl with the Head Cold

At least.

Didn't watch.

Did a tiDDy pop out?

JackieBlue said:

that's true but at the same time she is supposed to be a seasoned pro by now. can't she at least "model walk" around the stage or something?? anything would better than just standing there. she should take some movement classes or something.

I'm sorry, was the even singing LIVE?? Why discuss a non-performance? & a terrible one at that... "lemme waste what's left of my voice on mediocre bullshit & prance around like I'm cute!"

PLEASE

Considering, it's at the last minute. Mimi, you held your own.

WHY do people keep mentioning it's at the last minute? Okay, maybe she had no band ready to go but that's not so difficult when you're HER & you're performing the simplest of songs. All the bitch needed was a live mic, I don't think she even had that. The things we let slide as entertainment these days, I swear!

I know, it wasn't rushed at all. She not only had ample time to prepare, but she had already staged and performed these songs for a BET special that will air in April.

Where did her voice go?

I've been complaining about this for a while now and my theory was that she stopped really singing for so long that she forgot how to actually sing. But that would make her an idiot...

Then again it could be uninspired lyrics. Or nursery rhyme productions that while doing there job of being stuck in your ear, are hardly the stuff of inspiration in terms of her performance.

CalhounSq said:

Hmm, I didn't think that she wasn't singing live. It sounded live to me.

I just don't think she was going to big ole dance number. That's what Janet's for.

JackieBlue said:

That shit sounded recorded, the 2 lines I heard before hitting the button. Then again "Touch My Body" is such a layered/shitty song that consists of mere whispers in the beginning so maybe you're right - maybe she WAS actually whispering into the mic. How impressive

CalhounSq said:

I hate layered vocals too. If she was miming, she turned the mic on at the end of both songs.

JackieBlue said:

That's another trick they do - I'll believe she did that (to ad lib & shit @ the end) before I'll believe she sang ONE NOTE of that chorus... 'cause if you ain't gonna sing it from the top, you're not going NEAR the chorus!

i'm confused. you're saying she didn't sing live??

CalhounSq said:

its NOT as bad as what people say... BUT.. it didn't have that much energy... NO EXCUSES FOR Mariah... she is a professional..for over 15 years... singing should be natural to her....

these women are getting older.. and im kinda expecting the best from them..

dancerella said:

I'm saying it didn't sound live to me... & if it was live, it's the laziest thing I've heard since Cassie on BET

TotalAlisa said:

You are SO young w/ that, Mariah ain't even 40 yet I don't think. She should be holding a mic & singing - nobody is too old to do that

CalhounSq said:

yes. after the age of 35 you are too hold to hold your own mic look at Bette at the ripe old age of 62

THANK YOU!!! Let's give it up for Tina Turner while we're at it

I completely missed this, but reading these resposes I don't feel so bad about it
