The vocals were a total mess. But she sounded very good just a couple of days ago on Ellen. She´s obviously overworking her instrument. She´s like the only artist out there who ALWAYS sings live her whole songs and the promo has been epic for the last 6 months. It´s normal this is happening. To be honest I just have respect for that. If she were just a singer who is given the songs she must sing by her label (and those songs were generic as you all know who), then I could go in, but she is a real artist, and her voice is not the best thing about her
The album keeps being one of 2012´s bests. And she´s also killing it with the fashion this era. I´ll just forever respect real talent and real music
Her throat was sure hurting but she still had such a great attitude on stage as always. Even is she looses it right now and retires, she can say she was the biggest and most R&B act of the 00´s decade, several #1 albums and some timeless songs, etc
I agree with @royalkev. The hate is out of control. Sad creatures

ps: tomorrow Mariah carey debuts her new song for Disney´s upcoming blockbuster. Can´t wait :)
