    probably, I'm pretty sure she atleast lypsynched most of Touch My Body for The Hills premier. It sounded like she only sang the chorus then…

  11. james says – reply to this


    311

    Well, the video sucks. It does not look like she was lipsny. She has a lot of add in vocals when she performs live and that could be mistaken for it. Who knows for real, but I would hardly doubt mariah was doin it!

  12. kathy says – reply to this


    312

    Didn't sound lip to me, but more like she was singing with her song in the back.

    Funny how everyone that hates her thinks she lip -synching, but those that like her thinks she's not.

    Way to go America.

  13. Mimi Lover says – reply to this


    313

    You're being way too hard on Mariah. Strange how Madonna hasn't done any live performances for 4 Minutes. She's only doing boring ass crappy interviews coz she can't sing it live. Perez stop hating on Mariah. We all know Madonna fans are jealous of Mimi's success.

    Re: jeries

    You're dead on. He IS stupid. He's been recycling his own "hits" for years now, leeching like a vampire onto the winners of the show to keep him in the spotlight. They're always trying to sell him as a "Titan of pop music", but the biggest hit he's had in the past ten years was a) sung by someone other than him and b) written by someone other than him.
    Part of why he's successful is the fact that he's always got to say something nasty, raunchy or ambiguous, so saying that Mariah lipsynched definitely worked for him.

    319

    Uh, duh….

    This track sounds IDENTICAL to the one at the London gig. The same vocal inflections, cut offs, background vocals. Really.

  20. Jay says – reply to this


    320

    She's not lipping. Its obvious that its live. She did the same routine in the UK and the Hills and they were also live. Perez just wants someone new to sabotage. But it won't work since MC is extrememly talented.

  21. Kayleigh *aka* BritneySpearsOfficialFanClub says – reply to this


    321

    Its really hard to tell but either way it dosent matter cuz u know she has an amazing voice and she does have talent but she is a little stuck up

    Who cares what people say, they have to pick on somebody. This queen is like so many others, drama and negative comments. She does have the #1 Song. Who cares about some nobody like perez

  23. Integrity says – reply to this


    323

    the definition of a singer is to sing.
    thats it, plain and simple, if her or anyone else is lypsyncing than they are 'acting like a singer' which why would they do if they could really sing?
    Perhaps Mariah has had too many glasses of champagne on those vocal cords, or maybe that she is almost 40 shes worn down, who knows?
    What i do know, is that she has put herself out there making comments about other singers, and how she is soo great she could sing on cue, which is why she was making a fool of herself on MTV with Carson back in the day hating on Jlo. Now we all know Jlo can not sing, but at least she is not a hypocrite.

    324

    God shes a stupid overrated twit.Same look same fan same right side of her face same clothes since the late 80"s.She has failed to grow as an artist at all.She needs to face facts that she is a 38 y/o woman and not a tween shoping at claires.Ditch the butterfly rings and insipid baby bomber jackets.Shes tired and done.Stupid woman cant even be bothered to sing live for her moron lambs.

  25. mf says – reply to this


    325

    she looks ridiculous with those ugly sunglasses.
    why is she even wearing them?
    definitely a Diva..NOT!

  26. Goshgetalife says – reply to this


    326

    The recent occurrence of lipsyncing by Mariah, stems from The Hills Season Premier event. She struggled to sing live that evening, which even made me uncomfortable just watching her. I also noticed that she was panting quite a bit when she attempted to hit the high notes This could easily be rectified. All Mariah has to do is put the same dedication and focus in her singing as she does in getting her body in tip-top shape. We all know that the girl has a good set of pipes, maybe it just needs unclogging and maintenance. I hope she does something about it before it gets out of hand.

  27. HELLO MARIAH??? Anyone home?? says – reply to this


    327

    She is better w/the ballads….and maybe the occasional r&b shit. Her latest music has been a waste of air time on the radio. Leona Lewis is stealin your thunder …..she used to be my idol….but, she is wasting her talent w/ the shit she has put out lately. MISS THE OLD MARIAH….the REAL and DESERVING DIVA. OK….HONEY?

  28. MIMI FAN says – reply to this


    328

    PEREZ I THOUGHT YOU AND MARIAH TALKED THINGS OVER AND YOUR GOOD NOW??..LOL… STOP HATIN HER BECAUSE SHE IS TRULY ONE OF THE BEST WITH A NATURAL GOD GIVEN TALENT.. UNLIKE.. BRITNEY WHERE SHE DOES LIP SING AND SHE REALLY CAN'T SING FOR SHIT… AND YOU ALWAYS BIG UP BRITNEY..WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?.. AND BY THE WAY MARIAH WAS NOT LIP SINGING… STOP PICKING HER APART EVERY CHANCE YOU GET..AND STOP CALLING HER MIMOO…CAUSE AS YOU CAN SEE THE GIRL ANIT FAT ANYMORE!

  29. SAxlerod says – reply to this


    329

    I can't stand artists who lipsynch when they're supposed to sing "live". I've seen Mimi do this at the Grammys and other events. I think that it's crazy to paid money to see artists who lipsynch. $125 to see fake singing is a rip off. Or to that matter using what's called a "guide track". If you don't know your song by now, why do it at all. Yes, I know you do it for the money and ego. But artists should be called on this. This act is like Barry Bonds on steroids.

    330

    mimoo? are you REALLY calling someone else fat? ouch…

  31. booboo says – reply to this


    331

    I think she didn't lip-sync. It's just that the backing vocals were supporting her a little bit too much, so it seems like she hasn't really sung the song live.

  32. Desiree says – reply to this


    332

    Shes not lipsynching,definitely singing live.Shes no Asslee Simpson or Britney Spears, this is Mariah we are talking about here, she actually has singing talent!! She may not be a great actress but atleast she tried but it seems that 1 bad performance will always stiick with her.Go Mariah!

  33. mimilicious says – reply to this


    333

    she totally nail this shit live!

  34. lizziibaby says – reply to this


    334

    she's lypsnching, the only reason i can tell is compared to her other performances ive seen it looks so fake and un-natural, which is a good thing i guess cos shes not used to lipsynching she doesnt do it all the time otherwise she'd look a hell of a lot better doing it, mariah's a diva and always will be perez, no bad press from you can stop that, p.s why do u hate on her so bad anyways?

  35. tyom says – reply to this


    335

    child…luv ur site but the girl aint lypsnykin!

  36. Jules says – reply to this


    336

    Well, 1. Mimi hasn't been singing in a while, she's been cooing, whispering, and it's all about one thing in her songs - it's not her voice, that's for sure.
    2. German idol is pure trash (take a German's word on it). There's no talent on this show, so the fact that Mimi even showed up….why should she sing live on trash tv?

  37. MimiFan says – reply to this


    337

    It's surprising that you call Mariah "Mimoo"….when you're the one that needs to lose some pounds!

  38. extirpation says – reply to this


    338

    If you watch the first verse, she stops singing and closes her mouth…however, her singing stops too!

    Shows she wasn't lip synching!

  39. franky says – reply to this


    339

    i am from germany. i saw it live on tv and i was shocked. it was lipsync! one of the conestants, Linda, did a much better job than mariah. take a look at her version of Hero on youtube. she is 16 years old!!!!!!—dsds linda hero.
    i thought i am a hge mariah fan but…… it is not enough beeing number 1 on billboard. she is not that successfull in europe…. she only got 2 top ten hits in germany. one ' 1 hit. can't live. Perez i love u ;-) )

    342

    Sorry to inform you people but she was TOTALLY Lip-synching. She went in and recorded this before she left the US! It's not uncommon for her to do this. I'm surprised she didn't do it for her SNL performance… ( which was horrible ) but, just KNOW she is the QUEEN of going in to punch lines and singing things over to throw the public off!!! Not working for me…I know the person very well who punches the buttons for her ALL OF THE TIME!!! SHE IS STRICTLY A STUDIO SINGER ONLY!!!!!!!!!!!!

    345

    What's the deal with you and Mariah?? Why do hate her so much??? She has been around way longer than very many others and has always been at the top. She just topped ELVIS on #1 hits! And if u hate her so much, then why were you such a hypocrite on Ryan's show when she was on?? She has inspired so many artists and people alike, so u just get over it!

  46. Pete says – reply to this


    346

    She's pathetic. How dare she lipsynch on a show where people's singing talents are scrutinised? Even Kylie Minogue, who has a much weaker voice than Mimi, has the integrity to sing live!

  47. xoxo says – reply to this


    347

    The first ad-lib is her and the rest is her singing over her backing tape. Sigh.

  48. mel says – reply to this


    348

    TOTALLY Lipsnynching, HOWEVER, just at the end she must turn her microphone on and shout the words to give it the original touch… if you visit mtv.com and watch her sing this song to the hills cast… she is very short in breath and doesnt sound good.

    351

    She has been doing it for years. She makes a new recording so it doesn't sound exactly like on the CD, but not one note of that was live.

  52. maya says – reply to this


    352

    ugly people are vain. they're pathetically scared of criticisms. i'm talking about mariah carey, of course. she's the ugliest singer there is, especially on her videos where she apparently thinks she's a young, sexy thing, instead of the has-been that she really is.

  53. hahaHannaHhaha says – reply to this


    353

    She was definitely lipsnynching!!
    She just thinks she's such a diva at this point she doesnt need to remind us why everyone's buying her new stuff, but the public are fickle.
    What a loser!

  54. T says – reply to this

    The quality of both videos makes it hard to tell, but if she is, it's not like she's the first "artist" to ever do that.

    NOT lipsynching but maybe the chorus…

  58. Lucy Lipps says – reply to this


    358

    I don't think she was. They all sing to backup tracks and with todays over processed shit music they need those backgrounds or else the song live sounds more like shitty ass shit. Music is dying!

  59. marc says – reply to this


    359

    wow people are damn fuckin stupid in here! get a life and stop hating. btw she lypsinc that fast part in the beggining and sang over her own vocals the second time that fast part comes in. besides that she sang the whole shit live

  60. shana says – reply to this


    360

    definitely NOT lip synching. this video quality is very poor and lagging. i watched mariah on SNL sing LIVE and the next day watched a video of the very same performance and the quality of the video was so bad it appeared that she was lip synching.

    anyway, i usually don't reply to such stupidity but i would like to know how perez continues to have the audacity to call this lady mimoo, fat? he is a fat sob wannabe.. somebody hand that hag a mirror so he can check his self!

  61. MariahILoveYou says – reply to this


    361

    So what if she's lipsnynching? :D Do you know how much performances she's been doing this past 2 weeks?? :D It would be crazy not to use backroung, because her voice gets so tuff enyway. And this is just typical Mimi, part is from tape and part live. So what? :D Who cares? MARIAH YOU ROCK!! I LOVE YOU!!!!

  62. jaypee says – reply to this


    362

    YOU MOTHERFUCKING PIECE OF SHIT!!!! FUCK YOU PEREZ!!!!! I mean Hello????? Mariah has been lipsynching in Europe ever since the "Butterfly"-era. So SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU FUCKING QUEER!!!! Stop blowing things out of propotion.

  63. Tiny says – reply to this


    363

    Mariah is corny, the song is wack as hell and she cant dance!! Her singing skills are declining, hence the reason for all the skimpy clothes!!

  64. ac says – reply to this


    364

    yeah, she definitely is.
    and the "preserving her voice" excuse is bullshit. she's a professional singer. her voice should be in good and strong enough condition that she can sing through four minutes of a really non-demanding piece herself. if she were singing an entire leading role of an opera for every performance she did, that would be another story… but she's singing a basic pop song… there's no excuse for that. weak.

    she can't dance, she dresses like a hooker, and she doesn't even use her voice anymore- what a waste of musical talent.

  67. really? says – reply to this


    367

    Anyone with any experience with TV in Europe knows that 99% of all artists lip synch. The economics of bringing your own band, sound crew etc…, and the shit sound at most European TV shows makes it suicide to even try and sing live. This is not a case of someone that can't sing lipsynching, she sings great… plus if you have any knowledge of how things work in a recording studio Mariah sings all of her own background vocals on her records… its just the way she's done things for the last 10 years.. get over it.. the girl can sing…

  68. Steven says – reply to this


    368

    hey elephantez maybe you're starting to hear stuff from listening to madonna to often (i'm not dissing madonna i like her music as wel) but when oh when do you hear any of the judges say anything about lypsincing?

    WHEN? I suppose you know german and bought a few german magazines or what? Or you watched the show and comments afterwords? i dunno

  69. weaver says – reply to this


    369

    Well…it doesn't sound like the record…so why do we think it is lip sync? I mean, I've seen her do it but…this doesn't seem like one of those times.

  70. nomi says – reply to this


    370

    she lipsynced the very beginning and she along to a backtrack for the chorous that goes "touch my body put me on the floor…." but she sang some of the other parts without it. mostly used a backtrack.

    lip synch or not Mariah is still a great singer!

    Perez stop being nervous. You know that she is gonna rule whatever shit you throw at her.

    And 3-4 blog post regarding her lypsynching. BIG FUCKING DEAL.

    OMG, your pathetic and desperate. Every miniscule thing she does, you magnified.

    Unbelievable really. I hope you don't reach 31 so the world can return to peace and positivity.
