Mariah Carey’s Voice Soars In ABC Christmas Concert

Published: Tuesday 14th Dec 2010 by Trent

ABC aired Mariah Carey’s ‘Merry Christmas To You’ Christmas special last evening. The icon thrilled viewers with an extensive setlist of Holiday tunes from both her Christmas albums, ‘Merry Christmas’ and ‘Merry Christmas II You’.

Check the full lineup below which includes ‘Oh Holy Night’, ‘Joy To The World’ and ‘O Come All Ye Faithful’/‘Hallelujah Chorus’ featuring Carey’s Opera-singing mother, Patricia. ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ will be added when suitable video is found:

‘Oh Santa’

‘When Christmas Comes’

‘O Little Town of Bethlehem’/’Drummer Boy’

‘Christmas Time Is In The Air Again’

‘Here Comes Santa Claus (Right Down Santa Claus Lane)’/’Housetop Celebration’

‘O Holy Night’

‘Joy To The World’

‘Charlie Brown Christmas’/’Christmas Time Is Here’

‘O Come All Ye Faithful’/’Hallelujah Chorus (Ft. Patricia Carey)’

This show was definitely a spectacle. However, the giant elephant in the room was the amount of dubbing done to some of Carey’s vocals. She was clearly singing live for most of the show but, in some cases, the post-production editing was far too obvious.

In fact, the dubbing made it difficult to tell whether Carey was singing live at some points, especially when mixed with her overly dramatic facial expressions (see the end of ‘O Come All Ye Faithful’). Still, on most occasions, there was no doubt that Carey was giving her all and displayed the full glory of her voice, particularly on ‘Oh Holy Night’.

All in all, it was a truly enjoyable show and proved why Carey remains the best singer in the game today. Next time, though, she should give Beyonce’s people a call so that they can assist with the post-production dubbing.

Thoughts?

    SHE IS AMAZING SINGER!!! this concert showcase her real talent and to all the naysayer that she is the best till today!!!

  2. Sabrina December 14, 2010

    Too bad none of it was live…just sayin

  3. QueenofPopJanet December 14, 2010

    It was an awful show. Mariah is past the point of being washed up and needs to go retire with a bottle of Vodka.

  4. Kevin December 14, 2010

    Don’t hate…..you know most of it was live. Mariah > your fave

  5. Sabrina December 14, 2010

    @Kevin,

    90% of that boring show was lipped. You would think after 20 years, 18#1 hits etc, Mariah would have learned some performance skills at least. She has no stage presence and she lipped mostly all of it. Can’t be the best when you are fake

  6. jamal December 14, 2010

    again with the lip singing lol some of the show was live and some was not. ALL artist lip sing. Yes even Beyonce. For the most part Mariah was singing but by it being edited for tv it looked different. Charlie Brown, Oh Santa, When Christmas Comes, Oh Come Oh Ye Faithful were all live from what i could tell. Anyway its good to see Mariah Happy and enjoying her ALREADY legendary career

  7. h December 14, 2010

    It was all so lip synced it hurts… sadly

  8. Mariah4Life December 14, 2010

    Hell if Janet Jackson can get away with lip synching a BALLAD on American Idol, who cares if Mariah lipped a few uptempos? MC’s special was THE s*** and undoubtedly will make the top 20 neilsons for next week!

  9. taji December 14, 2010

    I don’t ever want Trent to come for Whitney or any true singer who goes live. No shade against Mariah but Trent makes it hard for her with his biased overhyping. The lipping was too much and you know it.

    Mariah has to work on that, with 20yrs in the business, she should not be doing that much lipping and she wasn’t dancing so no excuse.

  10. Baleia December 14, 2010

    So sad i can only say these worlds about a fallen star. None of these songs was live. I can’t wait for this era ends. Mariah needs to take care of your live out of the spolights for a moment.
    Only lambs will buy this horrible show.

  11. TIMMI December 14, 2010

    AMAZING

    MARIAH, AND MATTER FACT HER MOTHER TOO, TOOK ME TO THE HIGH HEAVENS AND BACK

    MIMI, PATTY, YOU BETTER SANG GORLS

    No seriously, Mariah has been shitting on every other vocalist out there for more than 20 years straight. Homegirl can stand stiff and simply sing and the audience are on their feet. THAT’S what is called a singer.

    Putting aside all of those other R&B parent-child collaborations/double-acts, Mariah and Patty are simply the best.

    KEEP SLAYING MIMI x

  12. Ray December 14, 2010

    Love how Beyonce stays on your mind.

  13. Ryan December 14, 2010

    I think she did awesome! Especially considering she is preg. I don’t care if she doesn’t t***** dance like Brit or if she dubbed a bit. It made me smile and get in the spirit, which is a success to me. Merry Xmas 🙂

  14. TRENTSHUtUP December 14, 2010

    What beyonce lacks in range she makes up for in dancing..

    and Beyonce’s voice isn’t bad at all for that matter.

    Don’t throw shade at someone who was killing 08 and 09 trent cause half the reason MOORIAH has the publicity she does is that fact that shes pregnant.

    Mariahs good but shes no where near the level she was back in the 1990’s

  15. tron December 14, 2010

    Majority of THIS FREAKING SHOW was live even EW and Others her biggest Critics agreed that it was a live SHOW and indeed a show. She had that auidience in th palm of her hand as she consistently shitted with vocal after vocal. Mariah this is when I buy your albums WHEN IT IS QUALITY AND I CAN HEAR PASSION. Lacked that ON EMC2 and MOAIA had a slight passion initially but you didn’t perform like this. MUCH SUCCESS ON SHITTING ON THESE BEY ALBUMS SALES IN THE STATES WITH AN XMAS ALBUM. MXMAS AND NOW MXMASIIYOU.

    MS. PATTY AND MIMI. MURKED THE WHOLE INDUSTRY. THAT’S WHERE SHE GETS THAT DAMN TALENT FROM.

  16. Lol December 14, 2010

    I love how Trent has to bring Beyonce’s name up to justify Mariah’s shortcomings. That alone says Beyonce’s winning. You have to shade Beyonce to validate Mariah’s vocals. That is why she is that b**** because everyone must always compare/degrade Beyonce to big their faves up. Mariah is a legend PERIOD. Let her accomplishments speak for themselves. Beyonce is only on her fourth solo studio album and gets compared to LEGENDS, then that’s a BOSS b****. Lol

  17. Ariana December 14, 2010

    I think the only song that was clearly dubbed was When Christmas comes, the rest of the songs -including the duet w/ her mom- were live. You can hear her breathing and she was even a bit off at times on o holy night. She really sang her ass off during the special, I truly enjoyed it!

  18. Hunsit December 14, 2010

    TRENT!

    It’s called pre-recorded vocals. She didn’t even bother to hide the fact that she was lipping.

  19. Secret Voice December 14, 2010

    I just luv Mariah! Her song climbed 35 spots overnight on Itunes.Mariah loves Christmas time and it shows every year because she always seem so happy.I’m happy for her and Nick and their little baby to be.

  20. Secret Voice December 14, 2010

    I like Beyonce but there is room for other singers and there are other singers who can sing circles around Beyonce.What Bey lacks in a ‘soulful’ voice,she more than make up in drive and she CAN sing! It’s just that she’s over-saturated in the market and people can get tired of her but atleast she has talent.I just want to see more women singers.I think there is room for other REAL singers besides Bey.

  21. M4R14H F4N December 14, 2010

    All these other girls need to have a seat and take notes. Mariah’s still got it after 20 years, and she just schooled you all.

  22. genii December 14, 2010

    Mariah you will always be criticized whether you lipsynch or not. Either you lipsynch and people trash you, or you choose to sing live but the mic can’t pick up your voice because all you can do is whisper. There will always be “haters”.

    But the haters got a point. You can’t sing, you’ve got no stage presence, you have lost all your credibility as a vocalist. That’s why your albums flopped. Got it?

    I’ve got no respect for your as a singer.

  23. mariahmoomo December 14, 2010

  24. King December 14, 2010

    I see people can’t stand to see Mariah do good. That’s like they say “Hater’s go hate, reguardless of what you do.”

  25. really_irv December 14, 2010

    Wow all of ya’ll don’t know s*** (well the haters) I for one was at this taping and everything was done live..

  26. Jay December 14, 2010

    sense everyone is nashing mariah..Im throwing the rest under a bus to BE FAIR.

    beyonce—lipped to pre recorded vocals at b.e.t awards while dancing and had only a little live vocals. (most likely lipped others)

    whitney houston— lipped a song on her latest tour (proof of it is on youtube)

    celine dion—lips to pre recorded vocals for most of the songs and sings a portion live.

    chris brown–lips to pre recorded vocals at times

    usher– lips to pre recorded vocals sometimes

    ciara–lips to pre recorded vocals at times.

    janet jackson– lipsynchs mostly every performance.

    theres PLENTY MORE ppl. if your gonna throw one real artist under the bus..why not tell the truth about the others? BE FAIR. dont get on one if your not gonna point out everything.

  27. Terry December 14, 2010

    Thank you Jay.

  28. umm December 14, 2010

    I’m not quite understanding why Trent brings up Beyonce so much when he posts about…well…anyone….

    I don’t understand why people discuss anyone they claim not to like. The fact of the matter is that he DOES like Beyonce, but he knows talking mess about her will get his pitiful posts more comments. You see how the conversation stopped being about Mariah and turned to a post about Beyonce? That’s only giving her more publicity.

    Trent…take my advice. If your aim is to take down Beyonce, the best way to do that is NOT post about her or include her in your posts. Otherwise, you are just making yourself look sad and bitter because your fav has passed her prime.

    Also…If Mariah sang live at ANY point last night…Beyonce’s hair is real.

    That is all.

  29. umm December 14, 2010

    Jay…what is nashing?

    And no one is bashing Mariah. But Trent is being foolish and saying that she was singing live. Mariah has NEVER sounded like that live…EVER. I’ve been to a concert so trust me. I know.

  30. TheMan4u December 14, 2010

    “All in all, it was a truly enjoyable show and proved why Carey remains the best singer in the game today.”

    how can you make that statement after admitting that the vocals were dubbed? Beyonce or Whitney has never lip-synched a ballad. No true vocalist would.

  31. Beyonce owns Your Fav. December 14, 2010

    The show was fantastic.

    And you guys Trent was not throwing shade at Beyonce. Knowing that Mariah and Beyonce are friends, he is basically saying she should’ve called them up to assist with the production.

  32. the kiddz December 14, 2010

    @Beyonce Owns Your Fav.

    You sure? You can never tell with this Queen. And Mariah has always been the WORST lip singer, it’s ridiculous. Still love her ass, though.

  33. Slick December 14, 2010

    To all the Dickwads talking s*** f*** off!

    Now back to Mariah, She was wonderful! Sh e nailed it! A lil dubbing bu who cares she was simply GREAT! WONDERFUL! AMAZING!

    Trent you didnt have to announce to anyone that some parts were higly dubbed, shes got anough people talking s*** about her and that doesnt help her cause…

  34. Keesha December 14, 2010

    I love Mariah, but I think she should take a break. She always seems to overwork herself. And plus, she is pregnant. I would love for her to wait until after her pregnancy to start performing again.

  35. Beyonce owns Your Fav. December 14, 2010

    @JAY

    The only song Beyonce pre-records is “Get Me Bodied” except for the I Am.. Tour version. You can tell that was live Because she sings it a tad bit slower and in a different Key. But the one at the BET AWARDS and THE BEYONCE EXPERIENCE was pre recorded.

    And when Beyonce is not going to sing live she usually doesn’t have a mic in her hand she takes it away from her mouth instead of mimicking.

    Yes I agree that Mariah lip synchs sometimes, but yesterday it was mostly live.

  36. Jay December 14, 2010

    Um @THEMANU4 —beyonce HAS LIPPED PERFORMANCES ITS A KNOWN FACT. she just does it so well you would have to pay attention to notice when its happening. and the song whitney lipped on her tour is on youtube.. @UMM lets be honest..she was singing parts live that you wouldnt think she would even attempt. and the live parts sounded damn good.

    It kills me when people can sit there and and say beyonce and whitney never lipped..whitney never lipped UNTIL her recent tour.

  37. hassan December 14, 2010

    every1 sayin its lipped etc etc it wasnt it was live as trrent said they dubbed the voice when it went on tv

  38. yrgdf December 14, 2010

    Mariah sounded great. Yeah some of it was dubbed but who doesn’t do that? Beyonce’s new tour DVD is full of it. Welcome to the entertainment industry.

  39. Beyonce owns Your Fav. December 14, 2010

    @THe KIddz

    I didn’t get any shade from the statement. but he probably did.

    I understand though, everyone has to dog Beyonce to glorify their favorite artist.

  40. justdr December 14, 2010

    Shouldn’t bloggers be unbiased!? I mean damn Trent..you have to quit mentioning Beyonce. And to say that Mariah is the best singer is totally biased because thousands of people think different. Quit being biased boii.

  41. jamal December 14, 2010

    I THINK ITS PRETTY FUNNY HOW PEOPLE STILL TRY TO COMPARE BEYONCE TO MARIAH CAREY LOL
    AND @UMMM SAYING MARIAH CAREY NEVER SOUND LIKE THAT LIVE…EVER, YOU MUST NOT KNOW MARIAH CAREY FROM 1990-2002. MARIAH CAREY USED TO SING LIKE HER ALBUMS AND NAILED EVERYTHING SHE DID, LIVE. THATS WHY THEY STARTED COMPARING HER TO WHITNEY HOUSTON. ITS DISRESEPCTFUL TO COMPARE MARIAH TO ANYONE LIKE BEYONCE, CHRISTINA, ETC.
    MARIAH IS ON THE LEVEL OF CELENE, WHITNEY, ETC.
    THATS LIKE COMPARING BRITNEY SPEARS TO MADONNA, ITS FOOLISH.
    AND AS FAR AS MARIAH LIPPING IT, CAN WE PLEASE FIND A NEW TOPIC GEESH.
    SHE IS A LEGEND, LET HER LIVE AND ENJOY CHRISTMAS

  42. sugarwalls December 14, 2010

    101% agree that she is still the best singer so far!

  43. Beyonce owns Your Fav. December 14, 2010

    @YRGDF

    The way it was edited made it seem like that but it is not dubbed.

    Anybody who actually saw her live knows that she was SINGING LIVE and in FULL EFFECT.

    The only songs she didn’t sing live were Video Phone and Baby Boy and she wasn’t even holding a mic through those performance.

  44. pinkpop December 14, 2010

    gosh trent, why you gotta throw dirt at beyonce once again… thought you were cooler than that… just leave the queen alone

  45. the kiddz December 14, 2010

    @Beyonce Owns Your Fav

    I hated how the DVD was edited, because I knew people would be under the impression that she was lipping most of the songs. When it was just those you mentioned and the end of Freakum Dress.

    @Jay

    Whitney has lipped plenty of times during her prime.

  46. Jay December 14, 2010

    @thekiddz i was counting her main known performances lol

  47. Ariana December 14, 2010

    Mariah’s better vocalist than Beyonce but so what? I like them both. They’re extremely professional and you can tell their work their asses off on every project they have. I don’t see no reason to compare these wonderful ladies, each of them are great on what they do, period. I still think last night’s special was amazing and i’ve got no question on my mind that it’s gonna rocket MCIIY’s sales on the charts.

  48. pinkpop December 14, 2010

    I don’t mind, even if Beyonce lip synchs songs as GetMeBodied or SingleLadies, as long as she gives that hell of performance she does everytime 🙂

  49. Slick December 14, 2010

    MARIAH SLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYED!
    AMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZING!

  50. mike December 14, 2010

    It was a fun show….lots of personality but I agree with Trent….the post production editing was amateur…..its something thats done on all tv specials FOR EVERY ARTIST. But again Trent is right in saying that Beyonce’s people do it best!!!

    Celine’s people back in the day did amazing jobs too but I just think this might have been a lil rushed. But she was in fact singing live for most of the show. Yeah she lipped some high notes but I kinda don’t mind especially for a tv special.

    Shes 40 pregnant and still on stage singing her ass off. Hardest working b**** in teh business no doubt!!!

  51. Wake Up Six December 14, 2010

    The QUEEN of Christmas songs!

    NONE GREATER!!!

  52. Nichole December 14, 2010

    There were only two songs with dubbed vocals. O Holy Night and When Christmas Comes are the two songs that were dubbed. The rest were live.

    For the record, Trent, OCAYF was 100% live.

    Mariah ripped the rest of the performances, and the haters are just highly pressed because she can still sing and a lot better than many of these so-called singers today.

    I can see some of the shade is coming from the Whitney fans.

    And, Trent, why don’t you stop with the petty stan war crap? It was pointless to even bring Beyonce up, and all that crap is going do, is get her stans started.

  53. Wake Up Six December 14, 2010

    Oh and Patricia SLAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  54. TheMan4u December 14, 2010

    @Jay Whitney never lipped and on tour she only used a backing track on the Nothing but love and For the lovers songs because of the choreography and after the first few times she said she couldn’t do it it was too much.

  55. KELENDRIA ROWLAND December 14, 2010

    I WAS CRYYYYING!!! I was there and we were all crying! watching dis last nit was so touching.

  56. asdfsdf December 14, 2010

    y’all say she was lipping? the only one that they should have just skipped because of the lipping was When Christmas Comes (whcih is probably the hardest vocal to pull off!), which ANY vocalist would need if your singing that strongly throughout a whole concert. I think parts of Oh Holy Night were lipped as well.

    fact remains, Mariah killed these vocals, as she always has and always does. Only era she fell flat was E=MC2 because she was so thin and was going through a miscarriage/family planning that it all stressed her out.

    Beyonce is good, but no one should deny that she lips just like everyone else. Her post-promo team is the best and covers it up.

  57. KL December 14, 2010

    Mariah vs Bey and Tay thanksgiving Specials

    Mariah – 4.89 million
    Beyoncé – 4.44 million
    Taylor Swift – 4.42 million

    Mariah is still the queen.

  58. Nichole December 14, 2010

    ^^^W00t! We got a winner! *Claps*

  59. Mike December 14, 2010

    I love you Mariah!!!!!!! This wasn’t an AMAZING show but it was still good and very cute! Finally nice to hear Mariah singing some new songs instead of the usual Hero, Always Be My Baby, We Belong Together…….. I agree that some parts she was lip syncing but definteley not 90% like some of you ignorant people are stating. Mariah has come light years ahead of the major 3 divas, herself, Celine and Whitney and she should be proud that she’s still relevant in today’s industry of young female singers! This woman was born to make music and born to be a star 🙂

  60. antertain December 14, 2010

    Come on we know Mariah can sing like that live but obviously in recent times she hasn’t been doing so.

    For some reason since she became pregnant im hearing almost perfect vocals from Mariah again so im actually LOVING this.

    She’s a very skilled vocalist and alot of times when people think she lip-sync she actually isn’t.

    Mariah went through a faze of breaking up her notes through words as she sung & it was soooo annoying me because she never used to and now she’s back to sing through her words properly and the passion is BACK big time.

    A baby on the way, a hubby and now Xtra XTRA large boobs, Mariah should be on a high.

  61. Mike December 14, 2010

    @ KL are those numbers right??? Send me a link! This is AWESOME!!!

  62. Blasian December 14, 2010

    Please Beyonce is the ONLY artist today that can sing live and dance at the sametime let’s not.

    Mariah Carey was NOT singing live it was NO secret

    To Be real none of the Holiday Specials and HUGE ratings.

    Taylor Beyonce were going head to head with FootBall games Bey & Tay specials worked for them I AM WORLD DVD shot to #1 2xp

    Tay special push her album back to #2 and now almost 2 million in the states

    Mariah Carey wasn’t going up next to nothing

  63. Chile Please! December 14, 2010

    @ Ariana

    Thank you soooooooo much i’m glad somebody pointed that out. You can tell she was singing live just like you said you can hear her breathing & she did kinda mess up on one of the songs & it wasn’t hard to tell. Even though I haven’t been feeling Mariah since “The Constipation of Moo Moo” I can say one thing she got me this time around with this Christmas special those whistle fast runs was off the hook. She was killing that s***!! Work Mariah……I was not hating on you last night.

  64. Blasian December 14, 2010

    And Plus Mariah Cary Christmas thing wasn’t on a Holiday

  65. RF December 14, 2010

    First: I love Mariah. Always have, always will. But the majority of last night’s show was dubbed/lip synched. It was obvious. This has been her style for a while too.

    This is an example of a 100% live xmas performance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YVfI7myXhY (you notice how it doesn’t sound identical to the recorded track?)

    I was really looking forward to the show, but when I started hearing versions almost identical to the recorded track, it was hard for me to stay excited. It’s obvious that Mariah can still sing, but I don’t know why she doesn’t give her all in these performances. She’s better than that.

    That said, Mariah — I still think you’re great and the voice is still better than all the females out right now.

  66. Anthony December 14, 2010

    Well I for one was at the taping of the show and it was recorded live……..as far as lipping. Every single artist at one time or another has lipped! It is impossible for them to sing live
    all the time.
    Mariah’s voice is still fantastic, she just doesn’t always use it like she did in the 90’s. But like
    one of the other commenters said…. “There are always gonna be haters, you can’t change
    that and hey, I don’t agree with them but, they are intitled to their opinion!”
    KL still hot as ever and thanks for the info!

  67. Please Sit Down December 14, 2010

    I think she is talentless trash…..a complete bore! I have never liked her – ever!

    Lifeless…diva on earth.

  68. John December 14, 2010

    People please!!!
    – This special is the proof Mariah is the only one among the vocal trinity that still can be greatness, live, lipped or whatever. Call me when Celine or Whitney make something that could come close to this special vocals nowadays.
    – I really don´t wanna talk about Beyonce cos is so obvious her vocal talent can´t compare to Mariah´s that sometimes I wanna cry when I read some people ignorant comments. And please Beyonce has always lisynched at times. In fact many times, and not always on uptempo songs, also doing ballads. She does it very well though.
    – If Americans have any sense of artistry and musical skills, next week karaoke Boyle should be replaced at #1 for Mariah´s MCIIY. Not that she needs it at this point of her glorious career but still….

  69. RiRi Extends Concert in UK December 14, 2010

    GARBAGE…EASILY FORGETABLE !!!! 🙁

  70. Blasian December 14, 2010

    John

    Show me a performance where Beyonce is not singing live during a ballad?

  71. Mike December 14, 2010

    @ Blasian

    Go educate yourself! Your posts come off very ignorant! If you’re going to comment at least have the decency to spell correct!

  72. MC_BFLY December 14, 2010

    This show was amazing and it was even better in person!!! I don’t know why people say that it wasn’t live, I was there and can assure you it was all live!!

  73. theman December 14, 2010

    AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  74. Kelly December 14, 2010

    One her worst performance. Lambs, you guys hyping it so much. Nothing special.

  75. Kelly December 14, 2010

    “t’s called pre-recorded vocals. She didn’t even bother to hide the fact that she was lipping”- HUNSIT

    I AGREE 120% …

  76. ILookToYou December 14, 2010

    Who cares about more views than Beyonce…Mariah still cant outsell Susan Boyle.. …PATHETIC argument!

    It seems people would rather see Mariah for lipping for hours for FREE !!!

  77. Tra La La La December 14, 2010

    Boringgggggggggg….time to retire, Mama.

    Press 911 for ambulance and then ‘enter’

  78. Tyler25 December 14, 2010

    @ Kelly

    I believe ABC went back and digitized her live performance with a dubbed vocal…not sure if she authorized it or not..I am sure she is glad because she is desperate for a come back.

  79. Tyler25 December 14, 2010

    Dont worry Rihanna and Beyonce’s fans.. after December, she will be retire with baby food and a bottle of sour champagne. 🙂

  80. Tommy M December 14, 2010

    You haters are so mean..

    BTW, I heard the dog bit her after the show! 🙁

  81. RedSimba December 14, 2010

    The special was amazing, and 90% of it was live. Either way, Mariah’s a legend – she doesn’t have to prove herself anymore.

    Mariah is like Rihanna ….she can’t sing and walk at the same time all she does is to stand there and wave her hands like she is in church …………..Yo Britney Spears, I’m Really Happy For You, I’ll Let You Finish, But Mariah Carey Had One of the Best live Lip Sync Performances Of All Time

    Mariah new album Merry Christmas is now available everywhere and for limited time on Amazon for $3.99 go get it!

    You haters make it seem like she lipped all the performances. A good 90% was live, and everyone who is a complete and utter idiot would know that.

    It honestly doesn’t matter. Mariah’s success speaks for herself. You can call your fave the best ever, but until your fave has 19 #1s and over 200 million albums sold, only then do you have a right to hate the legend that is Mariah.

    Great Job on the christmas special Mariah!!!! It was live I attended the actual show!! Haters are going to hate no matter what!!!! What else do they have to live for?

  85. Timago December 15, 2010

    The longevity of Mariah Carey is AMAZING. At the age of 41, she’s still burning up the charts. I love reading the ignorant stupid comments of people who trash MC on here. THEY HAVE NO CLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    LET THE HATERS BEGIN!!!!

    It’s a pity that almost everything was dubbed. But it was clearly live! I just feel so sorry for those people who don’t have the ear for such a great vocal performance.

  88. F****** December 15, 2010

    F***** Trent. We all know this ish was lipsung all the way thru. Mariah is a disgrace. She is nowhere on Whitney, or Celine’s level, at least they sing live

  89. F****** December 15, 2010

    @amras

    , that s*** wasn’t dubbed, it was complete track vocaSl with Mariah lipping to them. delusional stans of a plastic b**** smh

    It was painfully clear that Mariah wasn’t singing live! She has the stage presence of a tree. I honestly like alot of Mariah’s music, but watching her bring the songs to life is always disappointing. I was bored out of my mind, throughout all of the show. She’s just a dull gal! Whitney, Celine, Christina and Jennifer Hudson (who I don’t particularly care for) have so much more energy and natural carisma on stage. I haven’t seen Whitney lip sync – ever, in my entire life. If she has I’m certain that it wasn’t through an entire show. Mariah was a huge stiff mountain that didn’t move at all. She should be singing live. There’s not any intricate dancing that she entertains her audience with. Janet and Bey, can be excused because they provide alot more excitment. Mariah waves, points her index finger, holds her ear(for what’s suppose to be a high note) and fixes her hair … This is the most action we get when she performs. She’s been doing this for 20 years!

  91. Amras December 15, 2010

    Exactly, for 20 years now! And she’s still here. Now I wonder why?!

    And the audience said that it was live. So I believe them because they were earwitnesses & you can clearly here that it’s dubbed & not pre-recorded. But I don’t think that’s any use to tell you that. You can’t here what’s live, so you don’t get what I’m saying. Fools to the world!

  92. Slick December 15, 2010

    SHE WAS GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW MARIAH!!!! GREAT JOB!!!

  93. henry December 16, 2010

    Ok since my Queen was lipping so badly then tell me if there is any sing that can’t out sing Mariah in this era point out 1 . Coz last time I check they use mc 4 all the high notes in the song stand up for cancer. And come to think off it , beyonce was there with many more of todays strong vocals. And mariah was the only vocalist their from 90’s. The thing is she can cope with all of them old schools and new schools. But the question is can they cope with her or reach the highest note as she does ? Nope. Not in a fucken million years

  94. henry December 16, 2010

    Mariah is your queen. An yall know that lol

  95. MichelleWFan December 16, 2010

    She is not able to sing , and never been to me !
    I can’t stand an artist who i NEVER KNOW if she’s singing live or not ! PREGRANT OR NOT !!

    *Turns on some MJB classic performances*

  96. Vanish-Manish December 17, 2010

    I can see some ppl form the bong society bashing on Mariah just because they expected her to sound at least half as bad as Crackney during her last tour. It didn’t happen and never will. Crack is whack!
