Holistically, Mariah Carey is renown for being one of the greatest voices of all time.
And while recent showings have called her present day capabilities into question, it hasn’t stopped folk from going to see her in Las Vegas and as an opener a special guest on Lionel Richie‘s ‘All The Hits Tour.’
In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight to promote the trek, the 47-year-old opened up about how she conditions her voice.
Let’s just say it’s rather…unorthodox.
See what we mean below…
The actual irony.
We love us some Mimi, but her voice hasn’t sounded hydrated in years. At least not consistently.
Mariah’s divadom is clearly not going anywhere, but we hope she dials it down in favor of a healthier way of preserving her gift.
We’re under no illusion about the fact that she can still sing. But she seems to be joking around with her talents in a way that could be interpreted as just not caring anymore.
Fingers crossed she gets it together, because it’s quite sad that we’re at a point when her legions of Lambs have to sift through performances with a fine-tooth comb in hopes of discovering “that” one part where she sounds like “1999 Mariah.”
Perhaps more warm water and less champagne would equate to performances that slay all the way rather than “blink and you miss it” snippets.
