    She was DEFINITELY lip synching towards the end!!!!!!

  2. Brandy says – reply to this


    102

    Was She Lipsynching??? YES!! How can you not know that? You can't sing the last word of one line and the first word of the next line at the same time! This song was a bad one to pick if she knew that she would be lipsynching.

  3. WTH says – reply to this


    103

    the first bit seemed like she was. when she was walking up to the mic and the song came on.

  4. Anthony says – reply to this


    104

    Real singers don't need to lip sync. No, that was a live performance. For someone in the entertainment business, you would think you would know this!

  5. karri says – reply to this


    105

    no i dont think she was at all.

  6. Z says – reply to this


    106

    I think she was lipsynching during the last part of her performance.

  7. Emma Louise says – reply to this


    107

    why are people shocked she doesnt sing love, she hasnt sung live since that break down she had. whats the big fuss about a woman that cant sing anymore (sounds like screaming) she has to get her beared waxed and she says stupid things like she is jelous of the starving kids in africa because she would love to be that skinny.. can you say DUMBASS!!

  8. Kelly says – reply to this


    108

    It was live. She sounds great!!

  9. Alys says – reply to this


    109

    lipsynch to me…
    hahaha I think simon's grin gives the answer away

  10. Justin says – reply to this


    110

    No shes not. This was live for sure. You just look for things to say bad about Mariah even if you have to make shit up. SAD!

  11. DIANA says – reply to this


    111

    Sounds live to me!

  12. Madlax says – reply to this


    112

    Who cares? She looks so hot.

  13. STS says – reply to this


    113

    thoughts???

    my thought is that madonna is paying you with a SPECIAL VIDEO BONUS!

    you are soooooo transparant

  14. julie says – reply to this


    114

    i watched it live.. she wasn't lip synching.

  15. goochie says – reply to this


    115

    who cares ?
    hoochee mama dress too.

  16. Morgan says – reply to this


    116

    Ya…totally looks like she's lipsynching to me…. too bad.
    If Mimi's resorted to this then who's next?

  17. douchenozzle says – reply to this


    117

    I am not a fan of her music, but she is an accomplished musician and songwriter. Props for that. But Mariah Carey lip syncing? NO WAY!!

  18. Kristin says – reply to this


    118

    Sounds and looks live to me! Damn she's gotten skinny.

  19. jo says – reply to this


    119

    Perez why do you keep picking on her? She's not lip syncing, you can hear her breathing and parts are slightly out of tune!!!! Madonna is way more likely to mime than Mariah! She's probably got a backing track but most artists have that.

  20. Errorfied says – reply to this


    120

    She's live. She's just using performance enhancing backing singers.

  21. THEY CALL THE WIND FARTRIAH says – reply to this


    121

    SHE DIDN'T LIPSYNCH THAT'S why she sounded awful.
    And at the ending, one of her fatter backup singers tried to sing over her on a high pitch that was ear busting. It must be the male one in the middle. I would sing over Mariah's voice too

  22. Jenn says – reply to this


    122

    I dont know whats happened to her
    She really suxs. If thats LIVE its terrible, if its not, its still shit.
    She has no power in her voice, anyone see her on OPRAH? pure struggles, I thought she was going to pass out
    To even compare her now to someone like Leona Lewis, LL rocks the house. Mariah is not as good as she used to be, atleast shes not flaunting it or showing it as well.

  23. diggy says – reply to this


    123

    no way .. shes def singing .. it was good

  24. Jennifer says – reply to this


    124

    She has never lip synched…and you can tell by her body-language alone that she's not. Go bother Britney, Miley or Madonna.

  25. Shany says – reply to this


    125

    Of course she was not singing live!!

  26. beef curtains says – reply to this


    126

    100% LIVE!! Ugh, Perez.. she nailed that song. In fact, you probably think it's lip-synched because she was so on point. For once, give it up to Mariah for delievering a killer performance!

  27. candy says – reply to this


    127

    definately not. You can hear how breathy her voice is and all the imperfections. If it was live it would've sounded better than that.

  28. Lamb for life!!!!! says – reply to this


    128

    YOURE AN ASS PEREZ!!!!!!

    LEAVE MARIAH THE FUCK ALONE, ALREADY!!!!!!

    BEING A HATER SHOULD BE PAINFULL!!!!!!!

  29. lola says – reply to this


    129

    I watched her performance last night and I can always tell when people are lip-synching and I did not suspect that at all. If she was lip-synching the performance would have been even better than it was. But anyways, Mariah can actually sing so I don't think there's any reason for us to suspect that she would lip-synch like other non-singing popstars

  30. By says – reply to this


    130

    This is live. :)

  31. caro says – reply to this


    131

    she did that every tv show in Europe.Mariah come back to work and stop to party!

  32. sgw555 says – reply to this


    132

    Not lipsyncing. Just a TERRIBLE song. Ugh.

  33. Pera Hilton cannot spell says – reply to this


    133

    Can you fucking spell ANYTHING correctly, you idiot?? Didn't that N'SYNC poster on your beat off wall teach you anything??

  34. www.ssfdesign,com says – reply to this


    134

    UM, to #2, Mariah did a few TV shows over here a couple of weeks back and sorry but she definitely did not sing live on them.

  35. beezy says – reply to this


    135

    its live asshole, go suck on maddona's clit or somethin and leave mimi the fuck alone

  36. stayathomemom says – reply to this


    136

    YO! Yea, I think I was a mixture of her singing and a tape. I like her new songs but MAN am I SICK of her talking about herself and the weight and nani na bla bla……….. Just sing Mariah, just sing……. But she IS an Aries and WE love to talk about ourselves….

  37. Chris says – reply to this


    137

    sounds like she and her backup singers are singing live over a backing track, which everyone does. her voice isn't as strong as usual, but she still sounds a hell of a lot better then most of the hoe's out these days.

  38. fernando perdomo says – reply to this


    138

    Shes singing live.. but her backup singers are doubling (quadrupuling?) her

    lame!!!!!

  39. foof says – reply to this


    139

    no - have you noticed that they have a lot of music lately with "doubled" back up vocals… chris brown/jordan sparks - no air on a. idol.

  40. manda says – reply to this


    140

    are u friggin kiddin? def not lipsynching AT ALL. not even close

  41. DrDorian says – reply to this


    141

    Of course it was live. Why would she lip sync to a shitty copy of her voice. That song sucked too. The line was "Never gonna say goodbye" then she spent the next 2 minutes saying just that!

  42. Ells says – reply to this


    142

    I like some of her songs but who does she think she is? She looks like a whore. Cant she ever wear something classy? The things she wears takes away from her music.

  43. Emily says – reply to this


    143

    Who cares if she was lipsynching or not, she sucks. I can't stand her. She looks like a whore.

  44. MARIAH FAN 81 says – reply to this


    144

    SHE WAS TOTALLY SINGING LIVE - YOU CAN SEE THAT VERY VERY VERY EASILY IF YOU WATCH THE VIDEO. Mariah stuck to the album version, so it sounds like the recorded version, but you can tell there are slight variations and you can hear her breathing in between words, and she stresses notes differently than the album version. Plus, if you have half a brain, you can see that she's singing live.

  45. auds says – reply to this


    145

    it sounded like in the very beginning she was singing along with an audio track, but after the first 30 or so seconds all the echoing went away and her voice turned back to average. if she was lip syncing they wouldn't waste time having those other singers on stage with her, and the audio track would sound a hell of a lot better.

  46. Jessica says – reply to this


    146

    I think it sounds live.

  47. Lucy says – reply to this


    147

    Well, at the start I thought she was but Im Not sure.

  48. JOWIN says – reply to this


    148

    TOTALLY LIVE. I DONT THINK THERES EVEN A QUESTION ABOUT IT.

    YOU CAN EVEN HEAR ALL THE FLAWS IN IT AND SEE HOW SHE'S CONCENTRATING. ALL LIVE…

  49. KMS says – reply to this


    149

    She was singing live. At one point though, she and one back up singer were off and the backup singer's vocals over powered Mariah's. The backup singer was in better form. Also, why did Mariah wave her hands around through the entire time as if she was conducting an orchestra???? it was weird and distracting. I just kept watching what her hands were doing. She's too experienced for this to happen.

  50. Wintour says – reply to this


    150

    Sounded live to me and she looks great!

  51. HawnHulaGirl says – reply to this


    151

    sounded live to me. get a life perez you fat jealous pig who isn't getting enough love and attention from his parents.

  52. Mo says – reply to this


    152

    It sounded like she came in live at some parts of the song and other parts seemed pre recorded…the end was horrible..shrieking was painful.

  53. KOTB says – reply to this


    153

    i thought at first she was, but if she was, she did a damn good job

  54. Kari says – reply to this


    154

    PEREZ,

    THAT WAS MY FIRST THOUGHT WHEN I SAW HER START SINGING. SHE WAS LIPSYNCHING. HOW DID YOU KNOW? I GUESS SHE FOOLED A LOT OF PEOPLE. SHE NEEDS TO GIVE LESSONS TO ASHLEE SIMPSON!

  55. ckam says – reply to this


    155

    chorus was lipsynching but the other parts were live to me.

  56. Candice says – reply to this


    156

    i admit it - i saw the show - and walked away soon as i thought she WAS lipsynching. the muscles in her throat weren't doing their job! too obvious!

  57. Mariah is LIVE AND KICKING and madonna is a whore says – reply to this


    157

    This is LIVE you dumbfuck Perez, you need to be smacked upside the head!!! Stop the Mariah hateration because it aint fair! Madonna must be sucking you hard for you to support her non-singing lipsynching, manfucking self. Madonna=Puta!!! Whore bag, cum bucket, slap, no talented bitch.!!!!

    I will never buy Madonna's album, but Mariah is Queen!!!

    God, i would rather have root canal treatment minus anaesthetic that sit through that dirge again

  59. Kurt says – reply to this


    159

    definitely not lip synching! not a huge fan…bit that was live.

  60. Jane says – reply to this


    160

    not lipsynching…

  61. katie says – reply to this


    161

    No she wasn't gosh she can sing she's proved it. Get over it. Why you hating perez?

  62. Momma says – reply to this


    162

    looks to me like she is but i'm no expert. nor do i give a shit what this morsel-eating ho does.

  63. Jennifer says – reply to this


    163

    Can't help but wonder.. how much is Madonna's label paying Perez? Or is Madonna paying him herself? He's not that dumb. He knows Mariah Carey sings live, the issue here is just trying to spread rumors to make her look bad. This is obviously coming from someone with an agenda. Madonna should just keep paying Justin Timberlake to release tracks for her. This is only making her look pathetic.

  64. Mimi says – reply to this


    164

    I think that you keep thinking she's lip syncing because she is actually damn near perfect live.

    She's a real artist and treats her voice like an instrument. No surprise she sounds just like her record live.

    She's no Ashlee Simpson, homegirl is the real deal.

  65. luke says – reply to this


    165

    she wasn't miming. it's all live.

  66. Dan S says – reply to this


    166

    WTF with the Mariah bashing? I suspect with all the rumour about lipsynching, that's why she added new riffs into the final notes. Not to mention a couple of off notes and the breathing…One difference with Mariah is that she uses her own voice as background so when the background track plays during a performance, you can hear extra Mariah. This is to appease fans who want things to sound just like they do on radio or they're not satisfied. Ugh…

  67. nk says – reply to this


    167

    she lypsynched some parts of the songs…
    in any case….that was booooooooring

  68. me says – reply to this


    168

    I have to say that she didn't seem like she was lipsynching.. but she is sooo annyoing. She has to grow up one day, she is soo annoying! .. Wayyyy to into herself.

  69. candy says – reply to this

  71. Laura says – reply to this


    171

    What's wrong with you? She was 100% live and sounded beautiful. This post is so stupid.

  72. nnol says – reply to this


    172

    There was a definite change in the sound quality when she started lip synching and you could tell she changed her position on stage to avoid getting the camera angles that would give her away. You could see the corners of her mouth sometimes and they werent making the appropriate shape to make the sound that was supposed to be coming out of her mouth. Aside from the obvious lipsynching, what a crappy song. Who is writing for her these days. Yikes!

  73. truth says – reply to this


    173

    WHO CARES, I would rather stand in line at the bank on wellfare day with glass in my body than listen to her

    Either she was lip synching or they had technical difficulties, I definately heard something that didn't match up to what she was singing.

    THAT WAS LIVE!!! Perez loves Madonna, hates Mariah. He gives Madonna all the good publicity and Mariah all the bad publicity. Love you Perez but stop being Biased.

  95. poperah says – reply to this


    195

    I don't get why everyone thinks she such a great singer. Yeah she's got a high range, but her singing is so airy it sounds horrible. Always has. I was taught that singing should not have that air-y quality to it..

    Yuckf

    And those tight dresses. ENOUGH already!

    stop licking madonna's ass Perez !!!!!!

  98. Vinny says – reply to this


    198

    Why do you ask the stupidest questions? All because madonna can't sing live doesn't mean no one else can.

    Someone please just dump gasoline on her and light a match. The dog whistle voice is almost as annoying as Justin Trannylake. YUCK!!!

    She was singing live but over her own track… clearly when she was walking towards her mic stand the track started and she is about a second behind. Don't get me wrong… she sings great and yes even though she was signing to with her track the belting an shit was all her.
