Mariah Carey received a frosty reception upon setting sail on the Asian leg of her new tour, The Elusive Chanteuse Show earlier this month.

For, despite bringing her heavy catalogue of hits along for the ride, her voice just couldn’t carry them – croaking and cracking at multiple points.

However, as reported, the diva appears to be whipping her chords back into shape and is garnering better press because of it. And while we’ve been wondering what she’s been doing to tune her instrument, she shared her secret on Instagram today – posting a clip clearly aimed at her critics.

Watch Mimi’s vocal warm-ups after the jump…

Clearly, whatever Mimi is doing is working. Here’s hoping she remains consistent so as for her voice to do the same.

    • Lambly October 20, 2014

      • Beysus October 20, 2014

        BYEEE

      • Bubblepop October 20, 2014

        I agree, Beyonces fan are the biggest haters but i love Bey though, they can talk BAD about any other singer but you can’t talk bad about Bey #HYPOCRITESUNITE

      • Beysus October 20, 2014

        BYE!!!!

    • TYLER October 20, 2014

      Neither is Bey’s youth..With her damn wrinkles near her mouth starting to look like the San Andreas fault. Take a seat please.

      • Beysus October 20, 2014

        You take a seat b****…

      • fatusankih October 20, 2014

    • Soapy Sam October 20, 2014

      Worry about Yawnce’s barren uterus, 4th grade spelling quiz, missing high school diploma and stealing writing credits. Annandale her Snip and Clip bangs.

      • Beysus October 20, 2014

        Bitter b****…

      • The Wig Snatcher October 20, 2014

        Yaaaaassss!!!! Behead the angry BeyHIVe!!!

      • Beysus October 20, 2014

        Shut up b****

    • Beyflopce October 20, 2014

      Why didn’t Bey’s album reach number one in Scotland?
      Thought she was huge and had fans there

      • Beysus October 20, 2014

        Shut up h** it reached #2 on the seperate Scottish chart and 4 got to #1. And she had two sold out Glasgow dates!! SO THERE!!! BYEEEE

      • Skyfall October 20, 2014

        Death, biggest gimmick in music history ad she couldn’t get a number 1 album world wide!!!!!!

      • Beysus October 20, 2014

        Yet it outsold Una without a big generic single and had months to spare… BYE!!!

      • Skyfall October 20, 2014

        Drunk in Love isn’t a big generic hit, according to the hive it was Death. Why are the hive bragging about it outselling Unapologetic by 10 copies I means she is a singles artist.

      • The Wig Snatcher October 20, 2014

        Beyoncé can’t even go past double-platinum in the US since 2007. She, like her husband JayZ, are using cheat tactics to say they can sell albums even though Adele, Rihanna, Alicia, Eminem and Justin don’t have to.

      • Beysus October 20, 2014

        Ummmm BEYONCE went x2 platinum idiot. BYE

    • SMH October 20, 2014

      Her voice has lasted longer than beyonces career and will continue to do so.

      • Beysus October 20, 2014

        Lol I don’t think so…

  3. Yazmine October 20, 2014

    Big fat flop.

    • Soapy Sam October 20, 2014

      Don’t talk about your vaginal like that.

  4. SoGone4Monica October 20, 2014

    Pre-recorded.

    • NOLIES October 20, 2014

      Monica should’ve prerecorded her National Anthem so she would’ve on key

  5. tits mcgee October 20, 2014

    Like I said in the previous post, it’s evident
    by her improvement, Mimi is doing more vocal
    exercise.

    Getting better by working her vocal muscles.

    #Work

  6. Monica stan October 20, 2014

    She sounds a f****** mess

    • Skyfall October 20, 2014

      Irony coming from a moosenique Stan

  7. Normani’sHarmony October 20, 2014

    Did her fans pay to hear her sing well live on stage on in her bathroom? Let me know.

  8. Skyfall October 20, 2014

    I love her

    • truth (icki is the QWEEN OF PUSHBACK!! Iggy got her scuured honey. #IckiAFlop) October 20, 2014

      U fat biitch!! I c u pushes yo album back to next year…Bey gotchu scared

  9. Skyfall October 20, 2014

    And of course we have the flea members in here pressed over every arts to that had done better in their career than Beyonce. If she’s the queen why are you always so pressed as a new pair of Levi jeans on the clearance rack at JC Penny. Stick to what you know best which is being a loose booty bottom in the slums of Chicago

    • CherylSoldier October 20, 2014

      Weren’t u a beyonce stan? Lol

      • Skyfall October 20, 2014

        No, that was another b**** who was parading as me, I like Beyonce but some if the fleas like Beysus are out of control

    • BeyBeyKing October 20, 2014

      But Mariah was the one who used rappers to make her seem cool.

      • Kii October 20, 2014

        But mariah is the one that influenced a lot of pop/rnb cross overs and collaborations

  10. CherylSoldier October 20, 2014

    no shade but the non whistle part was out of tune lol

    • It’s_Just_A_Blog October 20, 2014

      Reaching!!! You just want something to hate on. Go play in traffic with your hatin ass.

      • Dem Lessors October 20, 2014

        Cherylsoldier knows all about out of tune notes, he hears it all the time on his faves records after its all been processed.

    • NOLIES October 20, 2014

      You’re a Cheryl stan… that’s the TRUE shade. You’re apart of the most LOCAL fanbases in the world. Am I lying?

    • CherylSoldier October 20, 2014

      @Lessor my fave isn’t a singer tho. At least she sings live tho. Your face lost her voice screaming in the asylum.
      @f** you’re absolutely stupid. Why does it matter if you’re local if you’re selling more than “international” girls? Answer the question f**.

  11. justme October 20, 2014

    Excuse me but no one said mariah couldn’t do the whistle the shade in the media was her regular singing voice . Her just singing the first verse of a song which we still know she can’t do. No shade but it’s true

    • Skyfall October 20, 2014

      B**** stay mad & salty as a pretzel, did you not see the other post of Mariah performing Emotions and Slayed, no go suck ya daddy cumm out ya mommy loose p**** with a straw.

      • truth (icki is the QWEEN OF PUSHBACK!! Iggy got her scuured honey. #IckiAFlop) October 20, 2014

        READ!!!!

  12. Red, PINK and Blue October 20, 2014

    Pink sounds great on stage, you know, the place where her fans pay to see her perform. Unless Mariah is charging her fans to see her sing live in her bathroom I’m not sure why this is so impressive.

  13. Dem Lessors October 20, 2014

    I can make that noise but people would call it annoying if I did it in public.

  14. Adelelephant October 20, 2014

    Alright Iggy.

  15. GaGa’s Tampon October 20, 2014

    Slaying these basic b*tches effortly

  16. Monica Stan October 20, 2014

    I like Iggy, she’s doing her thing.

  17. Truth Hurts October 20, 2014

    Chile! Who are they trying to fool with this obviously lipped clip?!? Why can’t she hit those notes live?!? Mariah Carey needs more people for this mess.

  18. Truth Hurts October 20, 2014

    Too bad, her current album will continue collect dust at the bottom of the charts. Flop album, flop tour. Poor Mariah.

  19. Ivan King October 20, 2014

    Excuse me Miss, this is cute and all, but we don’t need to hear this when you are NOT on stage. We need to hear it when you ARE on stage.

  20. Knowles Carter October 20, 2014

    Was this supposed to be good? She sounds like my cat when I stepped on his tail ijs…

  21. TRUTH SERUM October 20, 2014

    I just noticed that the Bey post had 500 plus comments, it was just a pic. What had the Navy and the Hive so fired up..

  22. CzarM October 20, 2014

    You don’t “silence critics” with random footage of “vocal warmups,” you silence them on stage. It’s the show that matters, not the rehearsal.

  23. TRUTH SERUM October 20, 2014

    Oh, I see now…. Bey’s album surpassed UNA in sales and the kids are seething. Oop. Anyway, Mariah still has her voice, she just needs to do more training and have discipline.

    • RICHIE_RICH October 20, 2014

      The kids were MAD !!!!!!!

  24. the iggy take over October 20, 2014

    She has been known to post old photos of herself claming they were new, this video probably old as hell. Lets see you do this on stage mimi where people pay to see you

    • NOLIES October 20, 2014

      Speaking of old pics have you seen Iggy’s…. you know before the ass, botox, h*****, and etc??

  25. metzo October 20, 2014

    Now that’s a fuckinggg Diva!! Yas Mariah shade these hating ass b******. Her voice is like a fuccking instrument!
    This is how you clap back at haters. No Twitter rants. #ClassicShade #TakeThatWendall

    • skyfall October 20, 2014

      yassss

  26. Stanning for Brandy October 20, 2014

    Please, she can’t sing for s***, she’s done.

    • NOLIES October 20, 2014

      A smokey the bear with a sinus infection stan can’t talk about untalented vocals.

  27. NOLIES October 20, 2014

    The subtle shade of it all. She did it to make people pay more attention to her recent performances. I can’t get mad at that. Two claps for Mimi…

    (I always wondered what those women did to prepare to hits all of those notes.)

  28. Grump October 20, 2014

    Dumb b******. She’s done a lot more than this on stage. Too bad the media only picked out three clips from the FIRST SHOW to report on. She’s sounded a lot better as the show has gone on. Always be my baby, Emotions, I’ll be there. She sounded amazing singing those billboard hot 100 #1 songs at her last show. Hateful b****** in these comments.

  29. Theman October 20, 2014

    Mariah has been sounding very good in her last couple
    of shows. She is in a lane of her own.. It takes so
    much for Sam to write this. Her talent is remarkable !!
    Do your damn thing MC !!

  30. YISI October 20, 2014

    Um..Where was those notes when she was onstage?Way too many excuses for her!Either give a tour performance your all or stay folding and cleaning and hitting notes that people would get crazy stares from if they just started doing them in public.If she didn’t feel like she had anything to prove,we wouldn’t have gotten this video!
    Either or this made me wanna listen to her greatest hits album!
    I’m all for Mariah when she is at least 85% vocally..This was 70%!

  31. LIL’ KIM IS THE G.O.A.T. October 20, 2014

    YAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSS MARIAH!!!!!! SLAY THESE H0ES, MAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  32. Slick October 20, 2014

    This is nice to hear. And her dirty tank top comment is in reference to the gossip going around by certain websites that she has lost her voice…
    Although it nice to hear her do her whistle register live, it is not the vocal register that is in question. We want to hear her belting, clearly and sing in mid and upper register without any cracks or altering when trying to hit a note. Anyway, this is nice.

  33. room319 October 20, 2014

    Shut ’em down, Mariah…. Shut ’em down.

    ((2 thumbs))

  34. BOOBIE October 20, 2014

    She’s still fat

  35. TheElusiveLamb October 20, 2014

    My Queen! I’m so glad to see she’s working on her voice. She’s still extremely stressed, but I need her to forget about that and continue the HUGE improvement that’s she’s giving. It’s so sad that people feel the need to bash one of the last living legends, but if it makes them feel better, do you. Please don’t cry when she passes though.

  36. JOHNVIDAL October 21, 2014

    By “silences critics” TGJ means Sam, right? LOL He´s so f****** stupid and keeps being proved wrong 80% of the time. Don´t get me started with people like that repulsive Wendy Williams and the likes.
    Anyway, it was obvious Mariah´s impressive and fragile instrument was having problems during the first two nights of the tour but that it wasn´t the state of her voice for life. She´s been sounding great in China.
    And hilarious to read about this video being lipped? LOL Or flop tour… LOL when she´s doing stadiums.
