Mariah Carey: Official Topic


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)
I'm a Celine fan but I'm a realist and Mariah Carey is "one" of the best voices I think that I will see in my lifetime and defiantly one of the best of ALL time. She is a living legend no matter what anyone says. I have to say I don't agree with every song choice/ style she has done, but even so one must be realistic, she's in a league where ONLY Whitney and Cèline stand along side her in my opinion. I wish her lots of success in Vegas. Edited by Nmj

Agree with you. They are the trilogy.

It's just such a shame to hear her sometimes when I think back to how she was. I do hope her Lv show is successful. I have my fingers crossed that her schedule isn't too demanding cos I know her voice isn't sustainable, touring wise.

Celine never disappoints.

Also I had a question. I'm surprised that people had their phones out (from what I saw), I thought they were really super strict on that??

That's the thing. They are strict about recording during Celine's shows but Elton's and Shania's concert are not strict at all. Thus, I don't understand why Celine's team is so crazy about it..

I don't know if you agree with me or not but it's quite obvious what's live and what's not. I must say listening to her sing live is quite painful actually. She has good moments alright but no song sounds good from the beginning to the end. It reminds me a bit of last Whitney's tour. Of course Mariah is in much better shape but wait for the bootlegs from Vegas when she has slightly worse day. Overall I'm a fan, used to be a huge fan and I wish her all the best! I hope she proves me wrong! ;)

So is anyone here going to a show? I will be in Vegas in July and might go. I would love to hear some reviews from Celine fans before we decide. I'm still trying to get over the fact that we bought our plane tickets before I knew about Celine's return...

I like Infinity. Crazy lyrics and all great song.

I was in Vegas this weekend and saw Britney's show, which was absolutely fantastic, although I don't think she sang even one note live the entire night, and also Mariah on Sunday. Mariah's show is really visually appealing, lots of fun staging and lighting, however she really struggled vocally. She lips the really high stuff as usual, but she had a lot of problems even with the middle to higher belts. I felt bad, her songs are so legendary, and the experience was still a lot of fun, but there were some cringe-worthy moments vocally. It was the 2nd night in a row so maybe that had something to do with it as well. I hope she gets better as it goes along, I think she'll have trouble just doing the 18 shows she's committed to at this rate. But I still loved it and enjoyed myself a lot. I'd still absolutely recommend it if you're a fan of hers!

I think it's so silly for Mariah fans to hate Celine and vice versa. Celine is always so lovely when it comes to other artists so why can't we be the same?

 

With that said...

 

I have mixed feelings about Mariah in Vegas. I was a big fan of Mariah as a kid. Her voice was truly mesmerizing back in the early 90s. And I was excited for her to have a big comeback in 2005, though I didn't love the new songs as much. I am also intrigued by her life/career as a whole. (The marriage to Tommy Mottola, for instance.) I wasn't thrilled about Mariah heading to Caesars because that's Celine's theatre. Literally built for Celine. But I got over it and was somewhat happy for Mariah to be making a step towards a stable career again.

 

Hearing Mariah's vocal performances lately is kind of depressing. It reminds me of when Whitney Houston did her final tour. That was a disaster and should never have happened. Whitney had a few lovely performances in those final years but the voice, mostly, was gone. I remember hoping, with Whitney, that as the tour continued -- then her voice would strengthen and she would sound good again -- but it never happened.

 

I think seeing Celine's contemporaries struggle as much as they do makes me appreciate Celine's talent/duration/work ethic all that much more. She walks in the footsteps of long-lasting performers whose voices have remained intact like Barbra Streisand.

 

I wish good things for Mariah. And I hope that her fans will appreciate Celine's talent now that they've (already) seen Mariah struggle in Vegas.

Why cancel when you're "almost better "? Don't understand that. If you weren't getting better or voice was bad etc then definitely cancel. But when you're "almost better " 😞

I pretty much agree. I can't be 100% sure about when she is singing live or not, but I do know that she sings VOL live. And it was a disaster on the opening night. Edited by LukeD

18 shows is too much for a woman who's been more of a studio singer the past 25 years... she hasn't even pulled off 250 concerts since her debut...

completely agree with you with you Luke. She can barely sell out a 4000 seat arena (look to the average attendance on her last tour; Angels Advocate, which toured the same time as Taking Chances. ) Dismal numbers.

 

Vegas will not be successful for Mariah.

Mariah was never a stage singer, she recognizes that, she loves the fans and everything but stage is not her best

 

she is not Celine in vocals she is not Madonna in stage performance

 

She is Mariah, she can stop singing today, she doesn't need, she has a lot of money

 

She is a writer, a producer she can live the stage for others and do more studio work

 

She does more involve in her albums and other works more than Celine

 

But we can compare Mariah with other singers from 70's like Diana Ross lost her voice and performing live it was never her best

LOL! Some people here need to wake up and smell the coffee. Flopriah Carey didn't cancel her Vegas shows because she's sick but because of the poor tickets sales. As usual, Mariah wanted to hide her failure with a lame excuse. :giggle:

 

If Mariah would have been sick for real and her shows would have been sold-out, do you really think she would have canceled them? No, she'd have simply rescheduled them.

I am very much awake thankyou. I was being diplomatic. And trying not to state my opinion as fact lol

As it's only just happened the show could still be rescheduled. We shall see ☺
