  2. GIMMIE DAT BASE – 12.14.10 December 11, 2010

    Mooriah needs to sit down! She is past her prime, and Lawd knows her fat a** needs to be on a tredmill and NOT singing. Those vocal chords are gone honey! B*** cant sing!!!!!

    That Ciara stan looks foolish..ur shading Mariah and trying to boost Ciara. Its Ciara…lol. No one cares.

    Anywaaaays! Mariah sounds amazing and the sound on this special is so clear and crisp! U can hear her clearly singing COMPLETELY live w/o a backing track or lip syncing and she HIT all her notes..not to mention how gorgeous she looks!!!!

  4. JAYLA December 11, 2010

    @Manny YOU WAS SOOOO RIGHT LMAO,

    I MEAN WHO RUSHES IN TO BE ONE OF THE FIRST PEOPLE TO COMMENT IF THEY DONT LIKE AN ARTIST… NO LIFE

  5. MC_BFLY December 11, 2010

    First of all she sounded amazing!!!!!! And sorry to all the haters but she ain’t never gonna sit down and leave, so STAY mad!!!! I was there so I can assure u aswell that this was completely live singing, and finally why is a Ciara Stan talking about vocal capabilities? When was the last time people said that Ciara had a great voice?!?!? Sorry Ciara stan, you FAIL!!!!

  6. JAYLA December 11, 2010

    @GIMMIE DAT BASE – 12.14.10

    SHE’S PREGNANT BTW, ARE YOU MAD BECAUSE YOU PROBABLY WON’T EVER HAVE CHILDREN?

    @GIMME DAT

    I know Muthafucking Damn well you are not talking about somebody can’t sing and you stan for C-Error.

    Anywho,

    Mariah sounded awesome as always. F*** off Haters.

    And she is singing live too. You can tell because when she lip syncs she is horrible at it.

    Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, and Beyonce= The Vocal Trinity.

  8. Jair December 11, 2010

    I was at this taping! It was such a great show and Mariah sang LIVE! Can’t wait to watch it on TV 😀

  9. GIMMIE DAT BASE – 12.14.10 December 11, 2010

    CIARA SOUND WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY BETTER THAN MARIAH LIVE. Face it, Mariah’s career is done, lmao, have u seen her album sales? THREE FLOP ALBUMS IN A ROW.

  10. JAYLA December 11, 2010

    UMMMMMMM ,….. BEYONCE IS NOT A POWERHOUSE SINGER LIKE WHITNEY AND MARIAH… SHE’S A GREAT PERFORMER NOT A POWERHOUSE VOCALIST.

  11. Topman December 11, 2010

    She sounds on-point!

  12. Mike December 11, 2010

    WOW MARIAH LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    You can always tell when shes singing live…her facial expressions are so much more real and that fake over dramatic look is gone…lol

    Watch the whole thing from beginning to end.

    Beyonce has 3.4 octave. Whitney has 3.7 octave I believe.

    Beyonce’s Range is Bb2-E6…

    What do you mean she is not a powerhouse vocalist.

    Yes Mi Mi and Whitney may be superior vocally to Beyonce but she is still a powerhouse vocalist.

  15. Ariana December 11, 2010

    Yesssssssssssssss! Stunning. Can’t wait to hear the whole concert. Does anyone remember how many songs she sang that night? I loved what i’ve heard so far…. beautiful!

  16. Jair December 11, 2010

    @ GIMMIE DAT BASE – 12.14.10

    ARE YOU SERIOUS??!!! Look up “Mariah Carey Live Performances” on Youtube and shut the f*** up! I love Ciara as well, but I’m not delusional! Ciara doesn’t really have a voice, and RARELY sings LIVE! She lip syncs more than anyone. And let’s not talk about flop albums. Ciara hasn’t been relevant since Goodies, lets face it! Fantasy Ride was a mess, and The Evolution only had “Promise” to back it up. Please don’t shade a LEGEND. By the way, Mariah’s “flop” albums that you are referring to are “E=MC2”, which went Platinum, and “Memoirs…” which went Gold. I wouldn’t exactly call those flops. Mariah is still going strong with her new Xmas CD, which of course is being Critically-acclaimed, so don’t say her career is over. Thanks for making me laugh, though.

  17. Jair December 11, 2010

    @Ariana

    She sang 9 songs that night. I wonder if it will all fit in an hour though.

    Oh Santa!
    O Little Town of Bethlehem/ Little Drummer Boy
    When Christmas Comes
    Christmas Time is in the Air Again
    Charlie Brown Christmas
    Joy To the World
    O Holy Night
    O Come All Ye Faithful (duet with her mom)
    All I Want For Christmas Is You

  18. GIMMIE DAT BASE – 12.14.10 December 11, 2010

    GURLS, SHUT THE F*** UP! CIARA OUTSINGS COWRIAH AND YOU WILL HAVE TO DEAL! MARIAH’S VOICE IS NOT WHAT IT USED TO BE!

  20. MUSIC LOVER December 11, 2010

    I can’t believe a f****** dumbass is comparing Mariah’s vocals to Ciara’s. Just wow, talk about delusional!

    Notice the absence of haters too! They know they can’t hate on these performances! It’s obvious these were done LIVE and haters know she SOUNDED AMAZING. ALL HAIL THE QUEEN OF MUSIC!

  21. Ariana December 11, 2010

    @Jair
    Thank you! I know… 1 hour seems not enough! I’d forgotten she sang the little drummer boy…. WOW Really looking forward to hearing this one and of course the duet with her mom! SO excited now! 🙂

  22. TIMMI December 11, 2010

    LOL I CAN’T WITH THESE HATERS.

    IN THE OTHER CONCERT PREVIEW POST, MIMI’S VOICE WAS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE SO THEY SAID SHE WAS LIPSYNCING. NOW WE GET A LONGER PREVIEW WHICH MAKES IT OBVIOUS SHE’S NOT LIPSYNCING AND APPARENTLY SHE SOUND LIKE S*** NOW. PAHAHAHAHAHAHA..

    MIMI SLAYED AS USUAL..

    A CIARA STAN TALKING ABOUT VOCAL ABILITY? -DEAD, RESUSCITATED, DEAD AGAIN

  23. deirdre December 11, 2010

    @QUEENBEYONCE

    Don’t Start…

  28. chachilewinsky December 11, 2010

    The vocal trinity is not whitney houston, Mariah Carey & beyonce -_- its…… Whitney Houston, MariahCarey & Celine Dion = Vocal Trinity …I love Me some beyonce, but I don’t compare her to the likes of The VOICES…I compare beyonce to Tina turner, diana ross & Ppl like that…”Entertainers who can sing” !!!! If ppl were to go to a beyonce concert & she just stood there,, Ppl would be pissed, they expect her to Dance & sing & entertain them…Whitney, Mariah & Celine don’t have to do that….They can lay on a couch the whole concert for all they care & ppl would still Love it, because Of their VOICE !!!!! They don’t have to Move Now those are Power vocalist & its not to take anything away from beyonce, she is an amazing Talent..the best entertainer in the last 10 years in my opinion but Please sit behind that computer & call her One of the top 3 vocalist..Because that would be a Lie !!!! & Don’t even get me started On ciara..Looks like that b**** 1,2 stepped her career out the door, along time ago -_- !!!! & Ps Mariah Sounded Amazingggggggg I can’t wait to watch it Dec 13th BITCHEZ

  29. HesChristofer December 11, 2010

    Mariah did a phenomenal job with this concert! I truly feel blessed to have witnessed a live performance with her mother and can’t wait for all to be able to witness all the holiday magic!

  30. Jair December 11, 2010

    @ QueenBeyonce10

    WTF DOES BEYONCE HAVE TO DO WITH THIS POST?!?!?!?!?!?!
    MARIAH SOUNDS GREAT! IT’S SAD THAT BEYONCE FANS HATE ON THE WOMAN THEIR IDOL LOOKS UP TO! F***** STUPID!

  31. F****** December 12, 2010

    I have had 4 different people who attended this taping that said mariah lipped 90% OF THE SONGS. LMAO @Mariah being the only 90s diva with her voice left. Only 90s diva that still has the same voice is Celine.

    Face it, Mariah is known as a has-been fat lipsyncher now, and her past 3 albums have flopped

  32. LAMB December 12, 2010

    OMG. I’m laughing my ass off right now! @GIMMIE DAT BASE – A Ciara stan is talking about vocals abilities. Saying that Mariah lost her voice and blah blah blah. Well gurl, Ciara never had a voice in the first place. I think you will be shocked when you see the rest of the performances. And please don’t come here to talk about flops, we all know that Basic Instinct will flop. It will be the flop of the year, so stfu. Have yourself a merry little Christmas, and I hope that somewhere, wrapped up underneath your Christmas tree, is a brand new life for you 🙂

  33. Jair December 12, 2010

    @ F******

    First of all, your name is ridiculous. That joke is so old and tired. If you’re gonna make fun of MC, at least get some new material.

    Second of all, those 4 people are either deaf or stupid. I WAS THERE and Mariah sang LIVE! I sat in the 10th row and had a crystal clear view. I admit when she lip syncs and you actually have no say in this since YOU WEREN’T EVEN THERE!

    Third of all, you and that stupid Ciara stan keep bringing up “flop albums” How is going Gold and Platinum flopping?!

    Last but not least, the Celine comment. I will admit Celine sings great, but Mariah still has that amazing VOICE that people wish for in this day and age. Mariah is not, and will never be a “has been”. She is a legend in her own right, and will always be relevant!

  34. F****** December 12, 2010

    @Jair Mariah is a has-been. She has resorted to doing anything to promote her flopped album. And while u were in the 10th row, my peeps were in the 1st and 2nd row. U and ur birds-eye view cannot see s***. We all know Mariah is the queen of lipsinging and now the new queen of flop, with a deteriorated voice to go along with it. Mariah is no better vocalist than Ciara these days

  35. BEE December 12, 2010

    YESSSSSSSSSSS Mariah! Cannot wait for this even more now.

  36. BEE December 12, 2010

    BTW GUYS STOP REPLYING TO THESE HATERS/STANS. THEY’RE WASTING THEIR TIME, DO NOT LET THEM WASTE YOURS.

  37. Jair December 12, 2010

    @F******

    1) I’m sure you would say that your dumb friends were in the first row, what a coincidence. Now I KNOW you’re lying! If they really were in the first row, then they must be STUPID! She was singing live and it’s obvious from the footage. Besides, like I said, YOU WEREN’T THERE, so you wouldn’t even know!

    2) How is doing a TV special “resorting to doing anything”??! Have you ever heard of promotion? Yeah, that’s what she’s doing. In that case, every artist “resorts to doing anything” then.

    3) You seriously called Mariah the “queen of lip syncing”?! Wow, You seriously can’t tell the difference between live singing and lip syncing. Mariah has lip synced, I’m not denying that, but almost every time she performs, it’s clearly LIVE! Watch her performances, the proof is right there.

    4) Your screen name is really bothering me, by the way. How can you say Mariah is fat? Mariah looks great for her age, and if you think she’s fat, then what do you think about the other average woman in America, or the world? Are you disgusted by the rest of the people in this world? Commenting on someone’s weight is so disrespectful, even if you are just joking. You need to check yourself, just saying.

    I’m sorry, but you need to stop talking if you don’t even know what to say. And don’t bring Ciara, that makes you look even dumber.

  38. HesChristofer December 12, 2010

    Just to add my 2 sense.. I was front row and Mariah sang completely LIVE. The End.

  39. TIMMI December 12, 2010

    @CHACHILEWINKSY
    THAT’S THE TRUTH RIGHT THERE. I CAN ADMIT BEYONCE IS THE DANCER OF THE TWO. WHY CAN’T PEOPLE ACCEPT BEYONCE WILL NEVER BE ON THE SAME LEVELS VOCALLY AS *ANY* OF THE VOCAL TRINITY?

    @F****** @JAIR
    OH PLEASE F****** WE ALL KNOW THOSE FOUR PEOPLE DON’T EXIST FULLSTOP. YOUR DESPERATION IS EMBARASSING. COMON DAWG, LYING TO HATE ON PEOPLE?

    TWO TYPES OF HATERS:
    1. THOSE WHO HATE ON SOMEONE BECAUSE THEY DON’T LIKE THEM FOR A VALID AND GENUINE REASON.
    2. THOSE WHO AREN’T ACTUALLY HATING ON SOMEONE BUT ARE CONSUMED BY JEALOUSY AND DON’T REALISE IT.

    YOU FALL INTO THE LATTER CATEGORY.. OR YOU WOULDN’T STAY CHECKING FOR MARIAH AND USING YOUR EMBARASSING EFFORTS TO POST UNDER “F******” AND COMMENT NEGATIVELY ON EVERY MOVE THE WOMAN MAKES.

  40. RIDIN4CI December 12, 2010

    This bytch is lipsyncing. And what is wrong with you MAD F**** pressed at Ciara? What does she have to do with this post? LOL. Dont worry about Ci, worry about Mariah still lipsyncing that whistle note for the past decade (you’d think her producers would stop putting that in her songs by now)

  41. TIMMI December 12, 2010

    @RIDIN4CI

    MIMI’S LIPSYNCING >>> CIARA FULLSTOP

  42. theman December 12, 2010

    KILDED IT !!!!!!!!! LIVEEEEEEEEEEEEE !!!!!!! HATERS STAY PRESSED !!!!!!!!!!!!!! LETS LAUGH AT THEM !!!!!!!!!!!1

  43. John December 12, 2010

    I´m absolutely excited about this special!!!! Yes Mariah slaying the b****** 10 and 20 years younger than her.
    Please we are talking about music and voices, not models, so let the haters stay pressed with their untalented girls.
    Seriously, people have to remember Mimi debuted in 1990, nonstopping career since then singing and writting her ass off (yes she makes music… u know who I am shading) and still sounds like this?? LEGEND
    BTW, the vocal trinity are Mariah, Whitney and Celine, Beyonce doesn´t even come close. Nobody could handle a concert with Beyonce standing there just singing, she needs to be a performer to entertain people, that´s the proof of what I´m saying. Oh and though I love the 3 divas I mentioned, mariah is without a doubt the more relevant nowadays, still making good new music and making it with the current times. And Celine´s voice has also deteriorated a lot and has gone too nasal. Peace
