The icon that is Mariah Carey stepped out in Jersey City last night, recording her performance for Macy’s annual 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular at Liberty State Park.
Joined by ‘Use Me‘ sensation Miguel, the star reportedly impressed her audience with a number of her strongest releases, including a rousing rendition of Katharine Lee Bates‘ ‘America The Beautiful’.
Peep fan footage from the show below…
As far as vocals ago, here’s hoping Mimi opted for a well produced ‘live’ vocal over a live vocal for reasons we’d rather not go into.
As far as the new album goes, we can’t wait to hear how the success of ‘Beautiful‘ has altered her direction- hopefully pulling on the same Adult Contemporary romanticism that’s set to take the song to Platinum status in a few week’s time.
Call us crazy, but we’re hoping there are plans to place to drop the project around the Christmas period, as to capitalize on the fourth quarter sales rush and the annual hype ‘All I Want For Christmas’ brings her.
For, with consumers set to pick up that single in their thousands during the period, why not kill two birds with one stone by giving them a new album to go along with it?

Ç o m ~~ They told me it is a Serious black white dating for black & white single s seeking interracial relationships, friendships, dating ,love and more.. So, if you want to look for people with which you can date, you are at the right place.You can meet(lawyers,busy professionals, benefactors. models, celebrities, and so on….)If you are single, perhaps you can have a try.
LMAO. If she’s strugglin then I want some of that struggle.
somebody please tell her to retire… im sick of the lipping gig. She shd just moan…. it works.. i mean better than her voice these days obviously…
They let cows perform at the Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular now?
LOL, you are not right for that one…but i damn near spit my juice out laughing…..
Internet gangsta get a life. Your a loser. a hater. who writes hateful comments because u have no life. Mariah is a BLACK icon. ICON and what do you have. NOTHING
TERRIBLE VOCALS ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE
She looks like a common LA t***** prostitute
Glittering lights, Incandescent eyes, Still preserved In my mind, In the memories, I’ll find solace…..
What’s that ugly creature always in your AVI?
How you dare?, is Kurt Cobain 🙂
Absolute mess. Even Lana performing National Anthem would’ve been better.
Good.. I prefer Bey’s 2011 performance
I’ve heard better vocals from a billy goat (Rihanna). *sigh*
AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGG !!!!!!!! SAM YOUR HATING A** IS ALWAYS NEGATIVE. MC IS NOT CIARA OR THE REST OF THESE FLOPS. U ARE DEFINITELY CRAZY TO SAY THAT SHE SHOULD WAIT THAT LONG…. U CLEARLY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT RELEASING ALBUMS.. SHE HAS MOMENTUM.. U TRY TO PRAISE THESE FLOP SONGS, BUT WANNA DOWNPLAY IMPORTANT ARTISTS SUCCESS. SIT YOUR A** DOWN….
I see he still has an adams apple and What in the hell happened to his voice?
Not people who Stan for a billy goat, a drunk and an illiterate lip synching b**** coming for Mariah’s vocals.Mariah absolutely slayed that and you’ll deal.
Mariah lip syncs and is not good at it either
You are a Ciara Stan!! your word holds No merit b****
In the last week you’ve had a Michelle Williams avatar and a Cedric avatar, you have no right to say anything about anyone’s fave.
Well both CiCi and Michelle slay Lama Del Gay on stage soooo
And neither of them still can go triple cardboard sooo…
A mariah/Ciara stan has no room to talk about lip synching lol.
Oh no not good. But bring on the lambs with their dated stats from the 90s to justify it.
Looooool!
NOTHING BUT HATERS FLOCKING HERE, GET A HOBBY ALREADY. YALL’S SHITICK IS EXPIRED. Y’ALL SAY THE SAME SHYT.. HATERS DON’T GIVE CREDIT NO WAY.. GREAT JOB MC….
clearly they need to send me a link to the bad performance because i liked what i heard
She need to find out what’s wrong with her vocal chords she is struggling to hit notes she slayed in the 90’s
Great Performance.
Is she gaining weight?
CTFU!!!!!! Stupid! lol!
She only came for the food, those vocals are not the business..
hey I didn’t see XXLtina there. Oh. nvm
LOOOOL a mess.com
Somebody needs to spray some bug spray in this b**** and float a few icebergs because these b****** are delirious. Mariah is the epitome of vocal ingenuity and dynamics. Her voice box is the manger Jesus lay in. Her vocal dynamics are out of this world and superior to any weaveologist or billy goat.
Mariah’s vocal superiority is above any and all your struggling faves who buy YouTube views and scalp their own tickets. Deal with the awesomeness that is Mariah and pay homage to the real queen you swines.
loooool you still mad you got blocked by the king ?? bahhaahahah and have fun standing for that untalented t***** looking fave who’s vocal range is lower than mute.
Second part of your comment . . . I’d love to see some receipts…
There are plenty of receipts. Get off the post and go find them Hun…
I can’t find them . . It’d be appreciated if you post them for me . . .
U nick stands stay hating that was good Sam u lame stay hating u just mad that beyonce album is never coming out y’all be waiting for mariah calling her a cow a fat t***** won’t stop her from staying lol stay mad
Sam why you blocking my comments?
THIS’S WHERE THIEFONCE STOLE “I BEEN OUTSOLD” INSTRUMENTAL FROM!!!
youtube.com/watch?v=kYH4hnR3kx4
Yes Mariah.
Well I, for one, love the ‘raspy/husky’ quality of Mariah’s voice these days. In my opinion, it adds an extra, emotional texture that wasn’t there beforehand.
It was a similar situation to both ‘Whitney & Amy’ (before they left us) and their respective voices; ‘I Look To You’ and ‘Body & Soul’ were some of the best songs they had ever recorded in their entire careers and their ‘new’ voices is what did it justice.
What I think Mariah needs to retreat too, musically speaking, is Jazz music. She no longer has the voice for ‘power-ballads’ but she most definitely has the voice to record some excellent, Anita Baker/Billie Holliday/Dinah Washington- esque ‘R&B/Soul-Jazz/Quiet Storm/Smooth-Soul’ music.
Mariah’s voice has changed so.much throughout her career: Rch and Resonant (1990-93), light and high (1994-96), hoarse and husky (1997-2001), thin and raspy (2002-2005), deep and dry (2006-2009) and now to the thin and nasal (2010-present).
She needs a change, artistically. 😉
Oh Lord… @JARED.
You’re smart comments are always on point.
I agree bro…
Im not here for my name being used like that since the only place you seem to appear is in Jareds reply sections… Hmmmmmmm…
SMFH.
@The “Real Lou”…
I’ve noticed this also. I started to consider this person a ‘cyber stalker’ like that other commenter @Desperation, who kept on writing to, and about, me for almost a week, with Pop Royalty also.
Oh well, they would’ve stolen my name by tomorrow, so…. Whatever!
CO-SIGN!!!
Jazz?
Lol. No one will buy that. I know, blah blah, she’s come to a point where she doesn’t need to worry about sales.
Honestly, Mariah just hasn’t took a long break from the music industry. She has never had a good amount of vocal rest since her debut. Tbh, I don’t think she should have released Memoirs because that’s when the vocal struggle really started to kick in.
I’m starting to agree with @Common Sense about mariah having surgery.
YES. F****** YES.
I’ve always said Mariah should record Jazz… Her voice is perfect for it now.
And I agree with the rest of your comment. Real talk tho…
God the Hive are so stupid. Why must they be so dumb, I don’t get it.
Wheres the Hive on here? Your obsession is so real you’re seeing things that aint there honey.
Fan bases that shouldn’t speak on anyone’s vocals:
C-Squad
Lama Del Rey Stans
Fighters
Taylor Swift fans (Swiftees?)
Barbz
All five can give a better performance than Mooriah in 2013.
Not Lana though. She can’t even ousting Nicki and Katy. Let’s not.
Sis she was outsinging Moo everyday on her sold out European tour. You should get tickets for the upcoming US leg since you always seem to be so obsessed with her.
We will come for who ever the f*** we want, thanks for the concern though.
You are in no position Hun. Mimi will always slay the floparuku Barnie.
Lip synching for the Gods.
At least my faves have got talent and class, same cannot be said about the chimney and the stripper with the blonde weave.
LMAO @ “talent and class” when you also stan for Herprihs, who is known as the biggest w**** in the music industry.
She really needs to work on her performances seriously. Its not even funny anymore this its sad!!
Lambs are mean and insecure they always love to bring other people down
I hate shading mariah 🙁 but her stans>>>
GOODLUCK MIMI deep down I love you. Just giving you tough love!!
The hive need to swarm around the navy ships, hit an iceberg and drown into the sea. Bunch of hateful b******, the nerve of you guys tryin to come for Mariah.
No one from the Hive attacked Mariah on this thread so far lol..
Wow whats with all the Mariah hate. So unnecessary!
Sorry that was supposed to be a general comment^ but yeah Lovebird stays pressed and obsessed with Beyonce and the Hive. Majority of genuine Hives (not trolls) do not have a problem with mariah.
I love Mariah but Ciara is more successful than her.
Yeah, you are not the real lovebird. White girl mob
There’s only like two Hive on this entire post, yet this fat b**** is still pressed and delusional. IDK why she’s so mad when she bandwagons for Rih at every given opportunity.
Sloppy as f***, just like her beer belly tbh.
I wish people would stop trying to be me…This is my first time commenting on here today..Mariah looked beautiful though…WHITE GIRL MOB is a mess..
J-lo would have slayed that stage. Cowriah was only there for the free alcohol backstage.
Lol. Too bad Live it Up is still flopping and cannot be found in the iTunes top 1000
Also @Lovebird can you please stop stealing my identity. It’s getting F****** annoying.
Sam i won’t be visiting this site anymore…People just steal people’s users names, and identity, and you don’t do s*** about it! i even reported it, and yet you have done nothing! F*** you, because you continue to let people like WHITE GIRL MOB get away with dumb ass s***! Her pic is blurry as f***, and mines is not…Do the math who’s the real one??
I know you’re the real one…
Don’t let it get to You. The security on this site is appalling and @White Girl Mob steals my identity all the time. Including others like @S******, Slayriah and MariahIsMusic1 as well as Pop Royalty.
Just write your comment and then leave or just conversate with people you like. I do.
Lol how many times have you said you wont be visiting this site anymore and your ass stays coming back like a fly to s***. Just stop lol. Or take your own advice and just use your name @B****** Are A Mess 😉
Slayriah you forgot to include the Navy on your list or are you a navy?
I didn’t put the hive either, does that mean I’m a Beyonce fan?
Damn, I didnt know these many people didnt like Mariah. O well, I still do. Go Mariah!
@HONEYCHILDPLEASE I’m not stealing your identity. I promise that’s someone else.
Lovebird you are exposed as a troll. Can you stop now?
WAITTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!
AHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At least she didn’t stampede when she found out there were serving rib plates…..
Don’t get it twisted, get it twisted
Mariah’s the queen
BOW THW F*** DOWN B******!
Beyonce’s impact though >>>>>
What impact??
Nothing . . just look @ you singing “Bow Down” by Beyonce who you hate to death, about your fav..
I’m not going to lie. I love the song. Well, only the first part.
STFU @ WHITE GIRL MOB
I know lovebird isn’t stealing my identity it’s you b****! I am not some retarded ass chick..You stay playing games h**…You are trying to set love bird up, and it’s not working..i know it’s you white girl mob..
SAM you aint s***!! * Exits the post*
I CANNOT stop laughing @ how obvious the difference between the original Hatbird and fake one is…
I think it’s @ Beysus Over Jesus . . No one but her is so stupid to the point of believing comments won’t be sent unless you type “thatgrapejuice.net” in the Website box.
Do you like volleyball?
Only swimming.
I don’t know how to swim. I always stay in the shallow end.
Do you wanna teach me? You should try volleyball btw, really fun.
OK
@JARED (WHITE DUDE)
THanks hun….
So Hatebird has been exposed?
Yes, exposed like the non-existence of Lana’s vocals on that SNL stage.
Nonexistent like Moo’s career since E=MC2.
Seriously why does the QUEEN bother you so much? I bet she’s the most played artist on your last.fm.
Wow whats with all the Mariah hate? So unnecessary.
THE DELUSIONS.
Lama will never ousting Mariah. #never
don’t lie to yourself….
Lana stays on your mind. I hope “The Art Of Letting Go (Of My Career)” doesn’t bellyflop into oblivion.
Mariah will never be as artistic as Lana is
Slayriah actually beyonce fans can give critics about Vocals.
Does that also apply to Rihanna fans?
Let’s be real is she vocally there with mariah?
Yes, Beyonce fans can speak on others vocals, but not Mariah, who is one of the greatest vocalists of all time.
Beyonce is a great vocalist to me but no she’s not on Mariah’s level . . Watch Mariah’s Grammys performances..
Slayriah actually beyonce fans can give critics about Vocals.
Does that also apply to Rihanna fans?
Let’s be real is she vocally there with mariah?
Even Adele stans can give critic about vocals! Do the navy have right to give critic about vocals? As you stan for the person with the greatest range ever.
Xoxo
I really don’t get slayriah though, he/she is the reason why I shade mimi, I even downloaded #Beautiful on Itunes
Morons! Haters! Have u even checked that 15 sec (!!!) video? She sounds and look great! All u do is come to bash somebody cause ya’ll are nothin in real life and i guess that makes u feel special and ”at home”. Sad people! GO MIMI!!!!!
#Nowplaying Mariah Carey _ Fantasy
Xoxo
Taylor Swift >> Lana Del Ray
Sit your ass down dumb Rosie
She looks fabulous in that red dress! I´ve seen plenty of pics but of course Sam won´t post them.
About certain people: how can you base your delusional hate on a 15 seconds vid? and recorded by a fan? lol People pressed at Mariah´s status. I mean, it´s not a good look guys… 🙂
She still looks and sounds like a man
Flopriah is still shaped like a rectangle after all these years
Lol, Rosie, I would never listen to Lana’s music even if someone held a gun to my head and forced me to. Mariah’s career is just fine. Her single is heading towards being certified platinum in the US and Australia.
We will not have this conversation because Lana is way out of Mariah’s league. When will she have any 15+ million selling albums? Or a number one single in the US? Or $500 million net worth? Over 200 million records sold? Or a successful perfume line? Or any influence on other artist? Any classics?
Then why do you have to bring her up everytime I comment? Stop lying. I mean, you wrote this long ass essay just to prove it. And stop bringing up receipts from the 90s/early 2000’s when album sales were still excellent, because we all know how much Moo’s last two albums sold, and we all know how her last Claire’s perfumes are doing.
By the way, Lana is already influencing music, generic electropop being phased out of mainstream music for wannabe hipster music is proof of that.
Why should I stop bringing up those receipts from 1990s to mid 2000s. That’s when Mimi was in her prime. Why would it be right to compare Mariah who is over a decade out of her prime to Lama who is still basically new?
Mariah’s perfume empire = $150 million
& why are you so pressed over her last two albums? They’ve both been certified gold. + Merry Christmas II you will be certified platinum eventually since we both know that Mariah dominates in the Christmas time with both Christmas albums and All I want for Christmas is You. It’s the art of creating classic Music that people will listen to and purchase years later, Lana will never. & E=MC2 still sold more than Born to Flop in the US.
DEAD @ the last part of your comment. I won’t even start with that. Mariah has influenced a VERY long list of female vocalist.
She is so fake, i can’t.
b**** is a hot mess….. she shd just retire…
I saw pics on mariahdaily,she looked great and i heard she sounded great….Wait,Is there an alzheimers outbreak among these kids on TGJ that they stay forgetting the things they stan for & even attempting to come for royalty???
Royalty my ass, this h** is a tired mess.
I hope the #Beautiful performance isn’t an utter mess like the previous ones. I saw pics of her as well, she looked gorgeous.
Lambs, the album title isn’t The Art Of Letting Go, the real title is in the chorus of Babydoll. I think it might be Velvet Kisses, what about y’all.
This era is a goddamn mess already.
Ok so before I watched the performance I read the comments so I expected the worse…watched the performance now and realised its just haters talking cos mariah blew me away as per..ps haters gon hate 🙂
@MC
Are you for real??UGH…VELVET KISSES????LMAO,WTF is wrong with her?…She might settle for ENFOLD (Unfold/unfolding/enfolded) tho..She’s unpredictable so i doubt she’ll make it so easy to guess…someone on youtube suggested MIMISSIAH 😀
I loved reading people say she sounded terrible from a 15 second video, which clearly sounds like the same exact version from when she performed a decade ago @ this very event.. Back then she was praised for this very same preformance. She used it again and now it’s “terrible” HAHAHA. Sam did say it was rousing. It surely was. So many haters, why?
I don’t understand these lesser stans. Mariah sounds flawless in these 15 seconds. How are all the current flops outsinging her again?
okay great good for her its not rihanna or beyonce, nobody shows interest to mariah anymore
YEAH, even lambs like me dont give a f**k what she does anymore. She aint a legend.. what the hell is a legend doing fretting her hour on stage and NOT SINGING… learn from whitney, amen
She sounded incredible, the vocals are a muscle and Mariah has been really looking after herself lately so no surprise that she’s sounding like the true legend that she is!
I would chop my d*ck cos MOOriAH cant sing a s*** these days.. All she does is touch her body… omg it sucks
