Surprising.
For us, the answer to the question above is surprising.
Initially billed as one of the night’s brightest attractions, last night saw Mariah Carey take to the BET Awards only to find her appearance outperformed by the very acts enlisted to help her performance.
Even worse, while the likes of Ciara, Kendrick Lamar and Charlie Wilson scored praise for their contributions to the show, it was Mariah‘s live vocals- or lack of them- that saw her set take the biggest hit.
Though this takes nothing away from her as an icon, it has left many wondering why so little faith has been placed in her star power and voice, that her cause now finds itself strangled by supporting acts who outstay their welcome and prerecorded vocals an act of her calibre should really steer clear from.
So, after watching it here, let us know….
![Mariah Carey Signs Rihanna's BREAST at Final Christmas Show in NYC [Video]](https://thatgrapejuice.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/mariah-carey-rihanna-signed-boob-tgj-464x260.jpg "Mariah Carey Signs Rihanna's BREAST at Final Christmas Show in NYC [Video].")
A MESS!
I loved it ! Parts of it were live, other parts were li synched. She was NOT the only one last night who lip synched / used backing tracks. Yet, everyone is only calling Mariah out.
Point out to me the parts that were live! LOL! I am about to fall out. LOL!
Miguel lip-synced too, although he did it better….lol
It was a lip synced mess… Why put out new material when you know you wont be able to perform it live shes a joke. Ciara owned that award show last night..
My CICI sure did! 😉
& Miguel was lip syncing aswell smh dont follow after Mariah dude thats how people lost respect for you.
Yea, I think Miguel did too because in a lot of his performances I always said he sounds better live. (not all but a lot)
the only parts that were performed live was when she said Hi & Bye… lol
the ultimate struggle dahhhling
listen to this dahling…..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Qlbu9-CFLg
Backing track boo
only last december…..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jN6nvuWIWc
Mariah fans can’t come for anyone’s vocals when their fav is becoming the new Britney of lip syncing atleast Britney is dancing while lip syncing Mariah standing in one place doing it your really becoming a joke.
TBH… Lypsincing =/= can’t sing….
Hilarious! Dead @ the Moo stans telling me that she was going to slay and she came out with THAT mess. She couldn’t even sing live.
Who the f*** cares? I’m not even a Mimi fan/stan (although I really admire E=MC2, a select few songs from Emancipation of Mimi, and #beautiful has me stoked for this era)…
BUT MARIAH HAS NOTHING TO PROVE ANYMORE. She can lip-synch all the way up Mount Olympus. She has nothing to f****** prove anymore. She already established herself as the voice.
Goddddamn. I bet you if she were 85 years old and lipsynching, people would still be bitching…!
She’ll be fine though… As if it’s she’s gonna mime in all awards… Last time I checked she mimed the last part of WBT as well. She just got a bad luck this time. LOL… But aside from the lipsyncing debacle, you can say her voice is still there. You’re deaf if thinking her voice was bad… only her lipsyinc skills should be increased… Hahahahahh… Still love her though… Bye…
…f****** s***.
The ultimate kiiiiii the lambs aren’t guna be able to live this down….. lol Yall talk so much s*** about other artist yet your fav has zero stage presences & stays lip syncing smh
Everytime they try to come for Taylor you should pull this video up tbh.
it was painful to watch smh.. the whole thing was lip synced, notice how there was no close up face shots.. try again mariah .
YES!!! Im still not gone say she did it but I do agree with you. That camera wouldnt get a close up for nothing. I kept asking why is the camera so far away?
@idk .. me and my sister was really exited for her performance and as soon as it started the camera got close to her face only like one time and you can clearly tell she was not singing live smh..
Oh Mimi, that cut and paste job is not fooling anyone.., tbh I don’t mind playback if it’s necessary but if you are known for currently having an inconsistent live vocal the one thing u don’t do is fill your playback with ridiculously over-complicated runs that even Kim Burrell and Tonex’s love child would struggle to execute live. Just record it straight and in full voice smh.
I’m not here for the Nicki stans and Mariah delusionists as I’m actually a Lamb who loves her BUT I cannot support this mess. As far as I’m concerned I still believe she can sing BUT I need to hear her REAL voice and not these overly manipulated/mixed studio hatchet jobs that only serve to KILL her credibility.
I’m waiting for Dossome, MC, Slayriah Carey and John Vidal. I want to hear their excuses.
Embarrassing to watch, if anything
She is supposed to be going on tour. This is not a good look she will be cancelling due to poor ticket sales again if she carries on.
I’m embarrassed for her.
Charlie Wilson was the best, that was fire, i love him, Mariah has never been a good performer not even in her good old days, however, at this day and age is unforgivable her lacks of stage presence but what is worse is that she even struggle to lip sync, as i say before for someone as arrogant as she is, she should live up to her greatness, she is becoming a used to be VOCALIST Rihanna, we are now used to it to awful performances.
Do you think that Madonna and Kylie Minogue can give a better vocal performance than Mariah right now?
Absolutely!!!
Yes since now Mariah lipsyncs even a cat can give a better vocal performance. Oh and people tend to forget the horrible, horrible screeech coming out of her mouth during GMA that they had to edit for the west coast. No wonder she lipsyncs.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7iENrleo-Y
It was PAINFUL to watch. She wasn’t even on synch with the words. I still love Mimi, but that performance made me cringe.
*in sync
I have mixed feelings. I don’t think lip syncing is authentic and it’s a poor choice in my opinion. But then again if you can’t pull off a decent vocal rendition or live up to expectations as big as Mariah’s then I can understand why she would consider it. In her situation there is no perfect solution, she would be criticized for sounding bad if she didn’t lip sync. She was in a lose/lose situation because she can no longer come close to recreating live what she is able to manage to put piece together from days of recording in a studio.
The person writing the articles are really trying it though. I thought the inauguration was a much bigger event than the BET awards yet you failed to make a post about the woman who lipped THE NATIONAL ANTHEM there and made one about Mariah and another about Rihanna lipping PIU. Ugh, the desperation<<
So worried about Beyonce i see b****… This isn’t about her tho it about your joke of a fav and that pathetic lip syncing she doesn’t even try shes like the biggest DISAPPOINTMENT TBH
No one is worried about Beyonce lip-syncing because she sings live and sounds great often enough for one #Busted moment not to matter in the grand scheme. I can’t stand Beyonce for the most part but even I can credit her there.
Actually It was a BIG thing when beyonce did it. It was on every news channel in the world/radio damn near.
Lipsynching =/= Singing over a backtrack.
Oh please! Beyonce sang along to a back track. And in all honesty, had nobody said anything we wouldn’t have known. Why? Because unlike Mariah, Beyonce is one of the most consistent vocal technicians around. Acapella and all. So stop it. Mariah’s performance was obvious and it was a hot mess. Ciara definitely stole the show. SMDH I expected so much more from MIMI last night.
well, beyonce still failed at singing to the “back track” and that nobody who said something
was a US Marine, they detect fakes and liars.
And @JAS’s point still remains correct.
@Earth Did I say “Earth jump into this conversation?” NO! And I never referred to that US Marine as a nobody, genius. And despite your smart as remark, it still doesn’t take away from the fact that she was SINGING ALONG TO A BACK TRACK and that her performance was waaay more questionable than Mariahs. And idk about Marines but obviously you don’t detect fakes well. Because if that was the case you wouldn’t stan for Rihanna and her phoney, dumbass, bad girl persona. Or the fact that she used that fake ass persona to get to the top sense she has no talent. Doesn’t take a Marine to detect that.

Get it together Mariah or go home
I love Mariah but it was the struggle and thirst to make it look like she was singing which made it more cringe considering she wasn’t even in SYNC.
Not cool.
But she’s a legend!
She doesn’t deserve this so F*** you @TGJ
Lol. No I can’t @ people on this blog. Who is this “arrogant” person that you speak of??
As I said before, I’m glad Mimi didn’t waste her golden pipes on this flop ass show.
#Next
Her pipes are no longer golden. More like metal rusty.
more like her s*** pipes
Are we trying to say that Mariah is not arrogant?…..Be real babe.
She might be arrogant about her success but I’ve never got the impression that she was arrogant in general nor regarding her talent…, and let’s be real, no singer who lip-syncs to the degree that she does is arrogant. She’s insecure if anything, cos a bad b**** would just get on stage and throw down with what she has regardless of imperfection.
She is arrogant and insecure.
if she wasn’t going to waste her pipes why perform , or even show up for that matter ? I like Mariah but that performance was said and you know it
SMH is all I can do @ the whole situation. I wonder will she come out and sing @ a live press like Beyonce did. That would be Epic. Good Luck MIMI. I still like your music.
I completely agree she lipped 95% of it. If you watch the intro, you can hear when she tries to go one note higher but stops. This mic pick up obviously shows the beginning wasn’t lipped. But yes, after the rapping was completely lipped. No doubt. But who really cares? In that remix, the integrity of the song would be lost had she had thin, live vocals. She’s proved herself for over 20 years and people forget that.
Absolutely beautiful. In fact I’m going to watch it again. I was glued to the screen watching that,could not for the life of me take my eyes of her.
*puts some eyedrops in eyes and gets ready for another flawless slayage*
Mariah gurrrrrl….. just stop while your ahead
at least J-Lo can dance and she is 43 years old!!
poor mariah cowrey , she is old now , she lost her talent!
Beyonce please drop a single save us from these jokes like Mariah & Rihanna
Mariah cant sing dance act or model shes WORTHLESS
Taylor Swift and Miley Stans? Talking about singing? LMAO.
I’ve been a Mariah fan since the beginning. I’ve seen her live twice and met her. The fact is her lip-synching and pre-recorded “live” vocals have been on the increase since the early 2000s. I’ll admit it, its heartbreaking.
In the UK she’s rarely done TV appearances that are live… except X-Factor (which often had recorded ‘money notes’). Funnily enough her single chart stats have slid since the early 2000s too… discounting ‘We Belong Together’ which again, funnily enough DID get a few live versions here and there.
It amazes me that she’s now trying to pull the lip-syncing off in the US… when the vast majority of superstars sing live – and rightly so.
Truth is, no amount of vocal receipts or sales can cover up the mess that was last night. I live in the UK and stayed up late to watch Mariah, for better or worse.
Its a sad day when the only thing you can say about your fave is: “well she looked great….”
Ahh I’m so with you there.., I love Mariah but the lip-syncing is plain embarrassing and for better or worse it absolutely HAS to go. I believe she still has ‘A voice’ if not ‘TheVoice’ but the incessant use of showy studio manipulated vocal tracks taking up the Lion’sShare of the vocal work on stage (when all she has to do is STAND) only serves to highlight the glaring difference between her regular voice and whatever her and her team feel the need to serve to us as ‘real’. It would work better if they just stripped the pyrotechnics and had her perform acoustic alongside a guitarist. I never slate Mariah for her vocals as I’ve said before that I think there has been more going on than the public know of but I refuse to believe that her and her team with all the industry and tour experience they share between them cannot think up a few ways to ensure the performance style actually matches up to the talent level.
It was like death warmed up. She didn’t even have any stage presence to make up for it. People excusing her because she is a ‘legend’ is so basic, like, you should still put effort into your performances and not become complacent just because you have status. You ALWAYS have something to prove if you are performer, you need to exactly that, perform well. That’s like me saying I’ve been in this job for over 20 years so I don’t have to put as much effort in. Nahhhh sorry it doesn’t wash.
Yes, that is exactly what I’m trying to say. The queen doesn’t have time to be arrogant.
Mariah slaaaayed that intro btw…but she thought to herself “Y’ALL ARE NOT WORTHY” & she lipped,so????She remains the greatest female singer-songwriter in the history of pop music…Was it not 2 weeks ago she was reportedly paid £2.5 million to perform 2 songs at a wedding in France & you expect her 2 put all her heart in a free show at BET?Oh please…Oh,she also has the best-selling LIVE ALBUM in the history of MTV (9 MILL Worldwide)____All she had to do is show up,look like the goddess she is,lipsync then go home….I wanted her to slay all those peasants but she stole the show regardless
#MariahIsMusiC
S/N=At least To Tamar & Jordin,life was given
b**** she didnt steal no show. Her rust bucket vocals were stolen.
It was atrocious Mariah it aint happening now.
YALL SHOULD HAVE RESPECT FOR A LEGEND WHO HAS NOTHING MORE TO PROVE AND YALL SHOULD BE GRATEFUL THAT SHES STILL MAKING MUSIC. MARIAH CAN LIPSYNC HER WAY INTO HER GRAVE CAUSE SHES SUNG LIVE A THOUSAND TIMES. LIVES THAT OUR FAVES FROM THIS GENERATION CAN ONLY DREAM OF.
I think that maybe she synced because she’s still recording the album and didn’t want to put her body under duress, that said, she clearly isn’t used to lip syncing like others in concert or in a regular basis (Ciara, Beyonce Britney) she should’ve just not bothered. That being said, although she no longer sounds like the 90’s Mariah she can still sing.
Slayriah still bringing Beyonce to this!!
Ughh you’re really insecure.
And let’s please not forget the mess that Christina Aguilera was @ the Billboard Music Awards. Smh
She actually sang live though, just over pre-recorded vocals. Everyone did that night (except Justin who completely lipped it). The problem was they put the pre-recorded vocals louder than the mics.
Dude stfu and stop trying to bring Beyonce and Christina into everything. I know you don’t like them but damn! they aren’t even relevant to this article. You always call their fans delusional but you are acting delusional now. Your fave had a horrible performance. Rihanna is even a better singer than her at this point. Deal with it and stop making up excuses.
U know we all love & respect u Mariah, BUT boo boo, NO MAM, I was like: ummmmmm….YEAH CIARA WAS HANDS DOWN THE BEST OF THE NITE & ROBIN THICKE & JANELL MONAE!! yes they slayed & MS TAMELA MANN!!! YES GAWD
an embarrassment of epic proportions
MARIAH IS ON A WHOLE OTHER LEVEL. SHES THERE WITH MICKAEL JACKSON, WHITNEY HOUSTON, MADONNA. LEGENDS. CREATORS OF MUSIC. THEY’VE ALL LIPSYNCED BUT THE TALENT IS WITHOUT A DOUBT THERE TO BACK IT UP. HAVE SEATS .
*PLAYS MUSIC BOX* WHEN WILL OUR FAVES MAKE AN ALBUM SO LEGENDARY ?
b**** stfu your a r**** stan you know nothing about talent.
The Moo stans their excuses, no one is talking about Beyonce’s anthem or Xtina at the BMAs, this is about YOUR fave’s lack of stage presence and her inability to even lip sync.
Enjoy it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgD_t8c9ykg
Slayriah trying her hardest to distract people stop bringing other artist up h** this about your box shaped fav dumb h**
B****, I know you did not steal my avi name…gorwl!
Oh come on! She lipped,let her breathe. Dig deal.
DEAD @ Rosie. Maybe Lana needs to start lipping like Mariah & Celine because she doesn’t sound good at all honey. Sad part is that she is in her prime<<<<
No one bought up Lana either. Like I said, last night YOUR fave proved that she can no longer catch up to even my fave in either of those departments.
Told you b****** Mariah would be the STAR of the show.
For all the wrong reasons b**** I wouldn’t b boasting.
OK. I’ve been a Mariah fan since 1997, the age I really started getting into music as a t***. I’ve supported her through thick and thin. I’m at the point where I can no longer support Mariah as an artist. First of all, she puts out one of the worst albums ever with Memoirs, then, three years later, she releases three singles that are even worse than the mess that was Memoirs. The bright spot was her Christmas album in 2010. Anyway, this whole lipsyncing and dubbing crap she’s been doing is the icing on the cake, plus the fact I absolutely can’t stand this song #beautiful. She used to be awesome, back when she had Tommy Mottola guiding her career. She thought she was too good for Tommy though and wanted to hang out with rappers, subsequently f****** up a very good thing she had. I mean, I do like some of her hip off stuff, don’t get me wrong, but prefer her more authentic music. Anyway, she sucks now, and that’s the bottom line. I’m done being a fan of this fraud.
hip hop stuff* sorry.
Ok b**** bye. The lambily don’t need your tired ass
P*** off you idiot.
You sound more like a hater honey… lol you´re not fooling anyone. So transparent, just like Mariah´s lipsyncing.
This isn’t about Xtina, Ciara, beyonce or Miley this is about Mariahs BET performance. TGJ asked for opinions @slayriah I don’t get it why you this salty and hateful?
WTF!! Even Selena can ousting Lama. Smh
she can sing though… in the graveyard….
And both can outsing Mooriah in 2013.
it was…. An Oscar worthy performance. That’s all i have to say about that!
Damn even that’s too far fetched of a compliment she wasn’t convincing nobody!
You’re right… I’ll strike my last comment and replace it with the following: It was an MTV Movie Award worthy performance. That should fit better, thanks!
Lol
Wow Mariah gets dragged on this site worse than beyonce and rihanna
Funny how EVERYONE sang live except for the “legend”. I don’t care if you’ve been in the business for 100 years and sold 5 billion records, you should sing LIVE! If shes struggling at 43, I’d hate to see her at 60. I think it’s time for Mrs Mariah to bow out gracefully…
TGJ don’t give a s*** about anyone’s “opinions.” They clearly read comments on the post last night and are trying to get another 100+ comments post. If he cared about our opinions the b****** would have posted that inauguration mess.
The only excuse for lip synching is choreography. Mariah just stood there twirling her fingers and flailing her arms. Epic Fail.
Yes, hot stuff said nothing but the truth. And I cannot stop laughing at you people. Madonna could never put on a better Vocal performance than queen Mimi on her worst day. Ugh, the delusions.
Madonna’s performances involve actual heavy choreography, hard, complicated moves. Can’t really say the same about Mariah’s last night.
Read carefully, I said VOCAL performance child.
Madonna is not a vocalist she is a performer. You said she could never do a vacal performance like Mariah… well Mariah could never put on a show like her.
Babe, you should YouTube Madonna’s recent live vocal performances, the woman has never been a singer like Mariah used to be but right now, Madonna can still sing with her own tone of voice unlike Mariah.
SLAYRIAH CAREY (JLO? WHO IS THAT?) seems to miss the understanding of how performances work in the music biz. Let me break it down in seed language for your basic heads. Think of it as a drag show. Both b****** are most likely lip syncing. 1 pretends to go in on a song, celine dion style with little stage movement and huge vocal power. the other dances throughout the stage and puts on a show.. no matter WHAT you say- the b**** just standing there not even using her voice is WASTING TIME while the b**** dancing to hard to speak just entertained the hell out of us. Mariah can’t dance. She can’t even two-step it without falling out of beat. now her voice is gone? GTFO- someone please call Ariana Grande to the stage to show this aging diva how its done!
I like Mariah and I respect her but there is no point to bring Xtina and Beyonce in this post. They did not perform.. They didn’t even attend the BET so I don’t get it why you bring them in this post. Really immature and insecure. The only true mariah stan is “Dossome and Mc” they don’t shade other artist to bring up mariah because they know that mariah is a Legend!!
#Beautiful Explicit version has risen 15 spots on Itunes since last night to achieve new peak while the Original version has rises 3 spots..clearly the performance worked…LOL,When we say Mariah has nothing to prove,stop taking it for granted.She really is above and beyond (insert your fav’s name)…..Infact,while critics blast her for lipping at BET,They’re praising her for her stage presence,stating that “she looked like royalty on that stage”…..As long as she doesn’t lip in her concerts & rob her fans of their hard earned cash,I don’t see anything CRIMINAL with last night’s performance……
Oh,& just being a lamb entitles me to criticize your faves vocal deficiencies.Remember she has the bestselling live album. 😉
Mimi. Girl BYE. And your planning to go on tour ?? B**** PLEASE. *Walks away in Louboutins*
It’s time to smell the coffee enema from her own ass.
She only has 2 lines in this song (which is actually already a shame since it’s HER song but i guess she just wanted to hear someone telling she’s beautiful….since she’s not she needed to find a way to say it herself)and she couldn’t manage to sing them live ? It’s not like she was doing an acrobatic choreo or anything. If she spent less time bragging about her past and trying to replicate an old formula maybe she’ll get something better than a #15 song (with the major help of a current and hot RNB star. She’s so desperate that the woman made a duet with Justin Bieber on a remix of her biggest success and it still flopped. She pushed back the release of her album a second time. Last summer she posted ad saying “Summer 2012 new era” and triumphant flopped. They tried to spin it as a buzz single but even as a buzz single with a video it flopped. The thing is if she keeps on blinding herself with the lies of her past achievements (the official numbers do not crown her the best selling female artist. Check it for yourself) and more time trying to create something new and not trying her old formulas (multiple guests rapping) maybe she could save what’s left of her career but she’s too fond of herself for that.
The vocal goddess is unbothered and likely playing dress up with Miss Monroe in her luxurious closet. Ain’t no one stressing over the BET awards.
Mariah’s performance of “if it’s over” @ the Grammys (MORE RELEVANT SHOW) slays everything by Beyonce, Katy, BarkTina, Taylor, Nicki, JLo, and Miley.
Its funny how you keep bringing up Beyonce, Christina, and Jlo. Ya know, artist that can actually put on entertaining performances but not Rihanna *side eye*. Looks to me like you support two weak vocalist/performers. No wonder why you are defending Mariah and her weak performance. You are used to it.
😆 😆 😆 😆 😆
She’s name dropping other female singers and past performances because she cannot justify the mess Mariah is now and was last night especially. I still play that clip of her screeches at the end of #beautiful on GMA, sounded like a cat in pain begging to be put down. No wonder she lipsyncs.
Slayriah better melt the f*** DOWN.
she’s been melting down since yesterday!!! lmfao
wow Mariah your a joke even Rihanna sings live,
But can Trina afford to go on tour though??
Can Moo afford liposuction?
$500 million. I would think she can.
I think her fat ass would rather spend it on some more Wendy’s.
Or maybe she should spend it on Lana so she could get some vocal lessons.
Still coming for someone else’s vocals after last night.
@Dossome
Is Slayriah a REAL lamb???
Milli Vannilli is sitting somewhere getting
>THEIR LIFE< from that Lip Sync Honey!! lmfao
Britney needs to step it the f*** up because Mariah is coming for her *Lip Sync Crown*!!!
You can talk about Lana, Miley, Kesha for sounding like s***…Yeah whatever b****! ATLEAST they are singing live Lambs. Inexcusable! 😆 Bye!!!
But the worldwide search is still on for Nicki’s Grammy.
I am struggling to find it!
This was unnecessary tbh… We dragged her enough
I agree with your s***** ass. She was dragged for filth in another post.
But milli, Britney, and Mimi have another thing in common: they all sold way more albums than Nicki.
#Beatiful Remix by DeezNuts Carey
“You’re Pitiful, oooh b**** you need a Golden Globe!
B**** you can’t Pretend that you can still singggg LipSync, LipSync, yeah, Yeah.”
*waves my f****** hand FOR THE GODs reaching for notes that I can no longer attain*
It’s good to know that I was ahead of the curve this time. I BEEN saying MC is trash and now the world knows. She wont go on tour, the world is watching now. She’s just a studio singer.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ac2PhWvtK4
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLL!!!!!!!!
No, NOT this Video.
😕
Love this song, though. 5/5
Slayriah name-dropping other artists because Moo is at their level at this point.
I can post more Mariah LIPPED performances then LIVE ones. lol
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmxfHlpSmSY
OMGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and What ?
at most of the shows she lipped because they dont have the right equipment! all of the guests lip!
Hmm we can do this with every single artist honey, especially if we have 24 whole years of career to choose from. It would be impossible only in two cases: Whitney and Alicia Keys.
Check out her rehearsing vanishing in 1990 for SNL. Mariah Is the epitome of a vocal goddess. Studio singer?? Lol, keep dreaming b****.
In 1990!!! LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
B**** give it up! Youre getting dragged and now your embarrassing yourself! lmfao
Moo can’t even go on tour, can’t even sing live at the BET Awards, yet her stan has the nerve to call my fave a studio singer.
Her stans??? B**** please, I´ve always said I like Lana and I don´t have a problem with her bad live vocals (Mariah can still outsing Lana any day though, just check any Mariah live performance from the last months: many clips from Australia, Xmas with Jimmy Fallon, etc)
Right out the cows mouth. This is MY moment StayRIAH! DEAL!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WPyFwONPac
SMH
I don’t really care for Madonna so I won’t waste time looking up for her on YouTube.
LMFAO @ this b**** posting these videos. Mariah has thousands of live performances but I bet your hating ass wouldn’t post those.
Honey i like Mariah but let’s be real if this was Madonna or any other female singer, the lambs would be the first to say negative things about it.
Wait, you’re the stan, you clam that she slays so much, why can’t you. It should be a simple “mariah carey live” in a youtube search bar, right? anyway…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEL-nxeVPv4
How you gonna let a man hit YOUR high note? lol
Hmm that has always been Trey Lorenz note hun! You are really trying it. We could post so many fabulous performances by Mariah. We just don´t have the time, it´s not sane to waste so much time just hating.
Sam u did this only to mariah you are a real lame u other stands needs to stop the intro was not lip your favs could never mc dont have to prove notting lol that’s why y’all stay hating I Guess summer school didn’t start yet lol stay mad she still the queen I bring it to each of you y’all favs are in there prime in are a mess smh .
All I have to say is:
I’ll always love and respect her, but…
If Ms. Whitney Houston sang “live” throughout her entire “I Look To You” era, right in the midst of having lost her voice and still managed to give raw, heartfelt performances regardless, then there is absolutely no reason why, these days, Mariah cannot. For better or for worst. There is a huge contradiction in that, especially seeing that Mariah still does have traces of her “old” voice.
Exactly, she is supposed to be the greatest vocalist of all times according to the lambs so sings LIVE.
and let’s add that Whitney still had a voice and song her new songs just fine. She just didn’t have her I Will Always Love You voice and couldn’t sing those songs like she used to. She could still sing, just not by the WHITNEY standard. Just like Britney Spears can still dance, just not by the old BRITNEY standard.
Sorry, but that’s not true at all. Proof:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWzqlx_8PGo
@AKA
Well…
What exactly is your point?
The fact remains that Whitney, throughout most if her “I Look To You” era, always managed to sing… LIVE.
Whether or not her voice was at the standard it once was, which it wasn’t, the rawness still shone through.
In my opinion, Mariah should be doing the same thing.
OMG!!!!!!! That was so heartbreaking to watch!!!!
Clearly AKA has a lack of reading comprehension skills, let me highlight…
“and let’s add that Whitney still had a voice and song her new songs just fine. She just didn’t have her I Will Always Love You voice and couldn’t sing those songs like she used to.” -Mark111
These people need to be on hook on phonics dot com then this site.
She sang live but she couldn’t sing well at all, that’s the point.
AKA doesn’t have a lack of reading comprehension skills, you are delusional sweetheart. If you consider this fine (go watch other perfomences), you should wash your ears again. She sang live, but she shouldn’t have done it since she lost her voice completely.
Oh, my point was that I don’t think MC can even sing her new songs LIVE. And if you look back, she never could do what she did in the studio. She didn’t sing LIVE til like 03 or 94, critics titled her “a studio vocalist.” and that was in her VH1 behind the music.
RIGHT ON THE F****** MONEY!!!!!!!
So you prefer Whitney embarrassing herself as she did most of her tour (there were some good enough performances, my poor thing) than Mariah or Celine, who still have an important part of their voices, lipping a lot? Hmm no honey. If the state of teh voice is not that bad then ok, but if it is like Whitney´s voice was during that period, just NO.
I will drag MC and her barn rats til she come and do this. BTW, not only was Bey singing along with her per-recorded lip sync, but was advised to cause of it being 20 degress or lower, so she wouldn’t be able to breath accordingly (cause you need that to sing, right? (the lamb are slow, so I gotta explain a lil extra) and there were a high chance of the mic and speaker not working accordingly. So what is MC excuse in a building in LA is? anyway, until this happens, I will drag MC and her lamas.

…….
BEYONCE HAS BEEN LIPPING HER ENTIRE CAREER SHE WAS CAUGHT by a US Marine.
……….
Aretha Franklin sung live in the same weather 20 degress or lower, and she is much older than beyonce so that is again A LIE. ….
Aretha wasnt singing the National Anthem. She also defended Beyonces decision. And it doesnt change the fact Beyonce can still SING LIVE, even sick. The best vocalist lip sync now and then as we have seen many times.
Aretha Franklin (who sung in the same cold weather )
actually laughed when she heard she lipped the song___HA HA HA HA__ and yes Ms. Franklin has class so she is not gonna tear her down on national tv for faking either. beyonce should’ve sung her heart out live for OBAMA and the. world on that day.
….
NO EXCUSE
Yes but she defended her at the same time darling.
And more to the point, Beyoncé was still singing. Even the band Yo Yo admitted to miming at the inauguration due to perfection issues aswell so have a seat. You stay on her c*** and I don’t see you going in the hundreds of other singers for doing the same you’re so pressed.
Its all very well saying that, we are not singers. Beyoncé didn’t want to take a risk and mess up the NATIONAL ANTHEM because of cold weather and I don’t blame her.
say anything you want but Mariah’s voice>>>>>

I respect this. It’s not amazing, but it’s LIVE, and it’s my favorite MC song.
Yo Yo Ma*
If my fave has the nerve to go on national television and give her worst vocal performance then Moo should be able to sing live at the BET Awards. Instead she couldn’t even keep up with the lip sync, fail.
Your fave was debuting and had EVERYTHING to prove honey! You are so missing the point, as usual.
Come on, we know she can sing. If she went around singing live at every show every day singing trying to match or outshine her recorded take then her voice would have been gone a long time ago. You have to take care of your voice. I’d personally rather her lip sync some award shows and continue to make good albums then to lose everything altogether!

Didn’t she perform Vision of Love at the Grammys? I was watching a video of her performing on YT but I can’t remember where she was at. It was beautiful.
Yeah, Grammys 1991, but I don’t really like that performance because she even said prior that she was nervous performing in front of all her idols. + it was her first Grammy performance.
disappointing.
but i still has a place in my heart specially for her, glitter and all.
Also her performances of Endless Love with Luther Vandross.

#Beautiful is NOT a hard song tho.
THere is no belting, the high notes can be avoided for live performances, the chorus can be partially lipped etc.
That Academy Award Winning Lipsync was not needed and she looked stupid, and she made her stans look even dumber! 🙁 🙂 😀 😆 bwahahha
lambs aren’t dumb… the fact that we defend her because other stanbases coming for her and drag to the pits. It’s our job to defend her… Just like what you do.. Sorry….
Honestly no one can get away with lip syncing these days not with every performance being uploaded to YouTube within seconds for everyone to judge. This goes double for singers who can actually sing like Mariah. Real vocalists can’t lip sync because its too obvious. What made it worse is that she did a terrible job at doing it. I think Mariah should just sing over pre-recorded vocals. Christina Aguilera has done it before and most artist do and people don’t mind. As long as she sings live people won’t mind. It would be even better if she sang together with backup singers. IDK, anything is better than not singing at all.
Omg. I love Ariana’s voice. I watched her performances of the way on YouTube and when she sang only girl by Rihanna. She’s really amazing.
My favorite performance so far has been the Jimmy Fallon one. I love what The Roots did with the song and live instruments always sound better. Plus she was sick that night and went to the doctors before the performance. I have alot of respect for her!
How could I forget: America the Beautiful- NBA game a 1990
Lol, the basketball players went crazy and commentator was like ” the palace now has queen”
MARIAH IS THE VOCALIST! BOW DOWN PEASANT!
Studio singer? Lol….. It’s funny you say that because those same critics were bowing down and praising her after she showed them her skills @ MTV Unplugged, which was later released as a live album and sold over 8 million copies. 🙂
My fave sung live every night on her tour, Moo should’ve on the BET Awards.
Lana’s range is nonexistent. Me myself can sing all her songs easily…. sorry…. Mariah can do with perfection if she will…. on the other hand, Mariah songs always come with belting, even #beautiful….
SLayriah Hang it the F*** UP!!!!!!!!!!!
Nobody Cares about the 1900s no more! AS OF NOOOOOWWWW she can’t sing no more.
I didn’t post that comment for you. It was for Mark111 who claimed Mariah has always been a studio singer. Calm down h**!
I am shocked @ the vids Mark111 is posting..
Oh I’m slaughtering these stans, it’s been two decades over do. Who want lamb chops?
LMAO…this is AWESOME…SONGBIRD SUPREME & HER IMPACT..Like i said,as long as she doesn’t lip on her concerts that LAMBS paid for,she can lip anywhere she wants just to make headlines
I’m sorry but as I said, “I DO NOT CARE FOR MADONNA!”
I’ve never tried to shade her or anything so I don’t know about other lambs but I’m not one of them that shade her.
I disagree with Jared completely. I’d rather Mariah come on stage and lip an entire song as opposed to singing live when your voice is already damaged because that will only damage your vocals further.
But anyway,
B**** If Charlie Wilson, R.Kelly, Tamala Man, Stevie Wonder, & Pharrel Can Sang Live. Her Old Ass Can Too! All These People Are In Their 40’s, Legend Or Not. …If She Was Smart She’d Gracefully Bow Out & Retire, While She Still Can Rely On Her Old Receipts….Hell Even Snoop Dogg Out Sang Mariah Lastnight!

I’m shutting SlayRiah down just like when Nicki shut MC up on idol. I got him/her in a dark room crying “Why, why, why, WHHHHYYYY”. I’m done, but one more s***…

Honestly you can keep posting this videos of her lip syncing but there are more of singing life and doing an amazing job. Every great singer has done it before. Christina lipped performances of Dirrty during the Stripped era, Celine lip syncs, Beyonce has lip synced, Im sure even Barbra Streisand has lip synced. That doesn’t discredit them as great singers with amazing talent though.
Darling, if you’re referring to her 2002 NYC performance I advise you to rewatch it, she was dancing her ass off. Christina has sung over pre-recorded vocals but she RARELY lip syncs and when she does its because she is working the stage. Look up her Dirrty performance at the EMAs that year, she killed it with dancing and vocals. There is no excuse for Mariah to just stand there and mime so badly. She’s never had stage presence but she could’ve at least walked around. It was just shameful. Her voice is truly gone. Chrissy’s voice isn’t what it use to be but she still has her higher register and she still has the power. Just watch her performing at the Grammys for the Aretha tribute or at the People’s Choice Awards performing Blank Page.
Xactly.
Oh yes, Barbra has lipped a lot too. Not too mention she has always been afraid of performances so she has barely done tours or anything. It´s easier to preserve your voice that way than if you are Mariah, Whitney or Celine, who used their voices like crazy b****** for an entire decade at least.
I a big fan yes it was lipped but everybody knows that MARIAH CAREY can sing live and shes f****** MARIAH CAREY she can do what she wants how she wants when she wants she paid her dues to the music world soo yeahh
There’s no denying that her voice has changed considerably throughout her entire career: from rich 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 – thin and nasal (2010-present).
In my opinion, I think the reason why Mariah can no longer sing in a ‘LIVE’ setting anymore is because her nodules have finally betrayed her after years of producing her ethereal notes. Either that, or…
– The improper technique used throughout the years has finally caused her voice to give in.
– Age
Maybe the bizarre shift in her voice from 1996 to 1997 is a result of a hidden health condition such as a vocal haemorrhage: just listen to Adele in the run up to her vocal haemorrhage – high, thin, husky and delicate – which clearly gave her voice a more raw and soulful advantage, just like Mariah’s was in 1996.
I still LOVE Mariah but I’m just scared for her to be honest. She doesn’t deserve all of this backlash, regardless, but I just don’t know how she’s going to fair these next couple of years. 🙁 🙁
what backlash ?
“I still Got ma money” 😉
don’t think it was age or anything, Mimi is just one of those divas who’s obsessed with “perfection” , that’s why she lipsynced.
one of the main reasons i stan for robyn is that , the b**** is Loud even with her flaws , she’s all in your face , not obsessed with being perfect or appearing so.
anyway, you are all just bottoms and over dramatic , not a big deal tbh, yes she did , and yes it was disappointing, now what ?
this woman gave you pure slayage when it comes for vocal performances for how many years now ? be f*****’ grateful.
move on with y’all lives, it is like b****** couldn’t miss the chance to drag her in blogs. 🙄
I love how you responded to me solely. YES!!!
And I know Babe, I know, but…
I just love Mariah too much for her to continue to disappoint like this…
I’m being dramatic, of course, to an extent but… Honestly, didn’t you feel a slight sense of upset when she performed last night? 🙁 🙁 🙁
And I love Rihanna for the EXACT same reasons!!!
People said she couldn’t sing, but at least she could hit her high notes with ease LIVE.

If Toni Braxton, Who Is Older Than Mariah, Has An Illness, Two Kids (One With Autism) And So Many Stressors In Her Life, But Can Still Sing Beautifully Realized That Her Time Was Up,There’s No Reason Why Mariah Doesn’t Do The Same. Be An Actress Or Something Cuz The Singing Gig Is Up Sista!!!
She’s a horrible actress tho…
Toni Braxton has not used her voice that much in the last decade though, has she? Or is her voice so special and fragile? NO. So comparing it´s absurd. And btw, I´ve seen Toni lipping a lot too 🙂
Where is Ariana Grande when you need her…oh wait, she’s busy actually singing somewhere else *sips tea*
Ariana is wack AF lol
Moo has been dragged so hard her stan is being forced to pull up 20 year old performances, I can’t.
I posted those for Mark111 who claimed Mariah has been a studio singer from the start. Smh!
THE POWER OF MARIAH: all fan bases had to team up to “drag” her. Lol. We had Lana Stans, Ciara Stans, Beyonce Stans, Nicki Stans, Taylor Stans, Miley Stans, Lil Mo Stans, Trina Stan, and even a Madonna Stan.
Oh we’ll, #ThatMariahReignJustWontLetTheFuckUp
Honey, i didn’t drag her, i don’t need to and i don’t want to, i have love for her but she needs to work on her performances and try to sing live with her new voice, like the brave woman she is.
Beyonce’s fanbase?
Riddle me this . . .
You bring her to another thread that doesn’t have anything to do with her, then expect the Hive to do . . . what?
Be cool with it?
If anyone’s starting any stan wars, it’s YOU. No one else.
Sis the Icki stans did it last night all by themselves. We just came to clean up the mess.
You forgot Rihanna stans.
“Ariana is wack AF”
Sorry, Ariana slays Beyonce and Christina vocally. The girl can sing!
Beyonce eats Ariana and then shits her live, don’t you even try it.
None of these 30-year-old highschool flops can f*** with her.
3-year-old*
when is beyonce gonna get her GED thou?.
she flopped outta high school and never got her GED.
She has her GED she was homeschooled darling.
I don’t think anyone on the planet Earth will take a f****** GED over making tens of millions per year.
If was home schooled she would have an actual H.S Diploma not a GED something she does’nt have so keep the lies coming, darling.
Why are you bothered by her qualifications though? Is it going towards your grade? Oh. No. Beyonce has a career and is earning millions with her business mind so who needs a GED anyway?
@MingXXXXX She’s still making more money than you and your fave either way. So you give two f**** because….
Tommy Motola better get in contact with Ariana Grande….
To say 3-year-old Ariana is a better performer than Beyonce . . . . . .
I’ve never read something so delusional in my entire life . . . EVER!
“If so and so sings live despite being in the industry longer than Mariah,then why can’t she????”
_______________________
^^^^This is the kind of ignorance i refuse to reason with…DIFFERENT PEOPLE,DIFFERENT VOICES…
=>Mariah’s voice improved after pregnancy,Alicia Keys’ voice deterioriated after pregnancy
=>Crack destroyed Whitney’s voice BUT didn’t harm Chaka Khan’s voice,who btw indulged in it long before Whitney.
=>Beyonce can pull a good vocal performance even with a cold or Tonsilitis..Mariah can’t,even in her prime
Some have more delicate voices than others,so cut the comparisons.Besides,Mariah’s songs are harder to sing than lots of these artist she’s compared with……..Funny the ones raising hell & bringing up comparisons are Nicki,Rihanna,Taylor,Madonna,Del Rey and Ciara stans….& dead at Whitney stans compelling Mariah to sing live everytime because Whitney did so with her detereoriated voice anyway..Chile,Mariah still has a voice to preserve,Whitney didn’t #JustSaying #NoShade
I never said Ariana was a better performer than Beyonce, I said she was a better vocalist…
Why because she can hit some whistle notes? No maam Bey could slay her in a sing off any day.
I find it funny that people have the audacity to say they like mariah or “have love for Mariah” but shade her every chance they get.
Congrats Sam, mission accomplished. You got your 200+ comments post.
But wait…Why is navy sailor licking my s***** ass? 😆 😆 😆
I knew I was the main attraction of TGJ when someone called themselves “FAF STAN”
You should kiss his balls and ass for stooping to your level tbh
Honestly, who cares. That intro was f****** iconic, she couldve walked off after that. Its still her voice.
Mimi got dragged for filth on this post
R.I.P Mariah
Mariah doesn’t owe anyone anything her SINGLE IS STILL ALMOST PLATNIUM AND IT HAS ONLT BEEN OUT TWO MONTHS PLZ EVERY ONE WHO HAS SO MUCH TO SAY PLZ GRT UR FAV(RI OR JHO OR T SWIFT) to hold a note period then come for her until then these \_\_\\_\_\__\_|_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\__\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ seats R 4 U!
UR MOM PERHAPS
@SLAYRIAH
🙂 🙂 🙂 I may not like your messy ways most of the time but i really respect you for being REAL,Say your mind and give zero f****…Majority of people always claiming to love MC here say the most hurtful things about her when an opportunity to drag her arises…IMHO,the only non-lamb here that can criticize Mimi without malice is @Pop Royalty,that’s why i’d rather deal with Nicki stans like Deeznuts or FAF who don’t see the need to pretend.
Her miscarriages must have scarred her somehow.
Rofl..these comments though. I didn’t see her performance but it seems like I don’t need to judging by these comments
tragically beautiful
You know what? She can’t please everyone and whatever she does, she can never win. If she sings live and misses one note, she’s called a bad singer. If she lipsyncs a few lines, she’s not doing it like she should. If she lipsyncs the whole show, she’s a faker. Artists do get colds, have vocal rests or have other reasons not to sing live, just like normal people call in sick for work. Only when you’re an artist and a fulltime mother of twins “on the side” you CAN’T call in sick. This right here, people, is Mariah Carey. Not a robot. No. A real human being, just like me and you. Only difference is; She’s the biggest selling female artist in history, has countless awards, has been an icon throughout the 90’s and 00’s, has hit every single note there is on the musical scale and has had 18 number one singles. This woman has NOTHING left to prove. In fact, we should be happy and thankful that she’s still around and making music, considering all the cruel, hateful and heartbreaking things people and more importanly so called “fans” say. I’m not saying we should all worship and obey her every word, but a little bit more respect is due. She’s putting out a single with THREE videos, an urban remix, a hip hop remix, dance remixes and has an album in the pipeline. When will she be good enough for you as an artist? And more importantly, having worked so hard all of her entire life to get where she is; When will she be good enough for you as a person? Have some class people. She’s not God, but neither are you
They just used Mariah to fill up the spots for Beyonce, Jay z and lil wayne or rihanna
lmfaoo!!!
and she was lip singing shame shame shame !
The lipped intro was amazing! Stop acting as if your faves don´t lip AT THEIR PEAKS. Mariah has done everything, so no need to bash her for this. My beloved Celine has been doing it for an entire decade, and Mariah has done it a lot too, not just now, so that won´t prevent her from releasing another great album with her amazing creativity and special vocals, and that won´t prevent #Beautiful from going platinum, seeing how it´s selling better now that before the BET awards performance 🙂
These fake dislikes though…
The issue is not even that she lipped its that she cant even lip well let alone sing.
Okay, Mariah “lipped” to rest her voice for her up coming tour and concerts Obviously. And you guys say Whitney sang live in her lasts and gave heartfelt performances … Then why did half her fans .leave thirty seconds in the concert? Don’t get me wrong, I a, a HUGE fan of Whitney and Mariah, but Mariah was smart and understood she didn’t wanna get s*** about her singing “bad” when she’s on vocal rest. OBVIOUSLY. She sucks at lipping because she is so used to singing her heart out all the time. Go watch videos off singing since your all so obssessed with her lipping. :/ Such a waste of time to hate, lol y’all gonna die alone and your lives are gonna feel short as hell with that kinda attitude,
She always does this, idk why people would want to stan for her…
Nicki Minaj & Beyonce > Mariah Carey
Oh yeah right, why would anyone stan for her? She has not done anything in her career and Beyonce´s and Nicki Minaj´s (LOL) catalogues are bigger and better!
JOKE
