    It was live she did have back-up singers like they all do. She was the one singing though she didn't lip-sync!
    Great Performance by the way!

    Madonna is totally paying you to post this garbage!!

    Hey Perez, What do you think of mimi's album selling 150K on it's first day and is set to sell 500-600K this week. I bet you fault you had sabotaged her sales too bad for you get over youself. And for the record it was live. Also why are you even talking about this because your precious Madonna lip syncs all the time even on her tours and when she does sing live she sounds like shit.

    first- leona will never be what mariah is
    second- she was singing live

    305

    Definitely thought she was lip syncing during the performance.

    306

    Who cares if it was live or not, the song is a complete deadbore.
    So I guess it will go #1 in the USA then.

    307

    She was singing over a recorded track, it's obvious. Also, very common.

    I just find Mariah Carey boring. She's unoriginal, and she's a rude nasty person…not a diva. Know the difference.

  11. Allie says – reply to this


    311

    Nah, she wasn't lip synching but I cannot stand the song and her backup singers slaughtered the song last night… horrible!

  12. Look For The Evidence... says – reply to this


    312

    For actual PROOF as to whether or not she's lip synching…Look at 2:20. When she removes the mic from the stand her mouth is a foot away from the mic…yet her voice never falters?!?!?!? Hmm…
    I personally am in the camp that she left her vocals on the backup track. BECAUSE I think she's too damn busy trying to stay on her feet in those damn 6 inch heels, and trying to suck in her gut to focus on her singing. She should wear some decent heels on stage, not wobble around like an idiot. She should also invest in some clothes that fit well. If you're trying to suck in you gut to keep the rolls at bay in spandex, you're not going to be singing as well as you can.
    Look at the footage from the 90s when she actually put effort into her singing, it's sad how bad she's gotten. And she looked more beautiful then, even if she weighed 10 pounds more. I used to be a big fan…is it any wonder why I'm not anymore???

  13. rose says – reply to this


    313

    haha, this bitch was lip singing. she always lip sings because she cant sing!!
    if you notice in the beginning, she was walking to the stage, and her music started playing, and then she opened her big ass mouth and stated lip singing.
    mariah has a sugar cone body. lol..
    shes ugly, and her cheek bones make her look like an egg head

  14. L.g says – reply to this


    314

    If it wasn't live I still got the chills because girl could sing.

  15. Tony Mohlman says – reply to this


    315

    MARIAH - U WERE AWESOME….

    perez is jealous because you can hold those notes amazing and the only thing he can hold is his Double Cheeseburger held up to his double chin….

    Work it out girl!

  16. Guy Richie says – reply to this


    316

    Oh Perez,
    I guess if you are a fan of Madonna, you are used to hearing lipsynched performances.. after awhile it must all get so confusing… "Who's singing, who's lipping to a CD"…
    But I assure you, Mariah was LIVE! Yes, she's THAT Good… Hard to believe huh? That's why she is praised for her STELLAR voice.
    Wait and see promotion for "Hard Candy".. then you will see what a lipped performance sounds like.

    317

    Re: heyhey – WORK GIRL!!! LL WILL NEVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR EVERRRRRRRRRRR BE what mariah is! mariah is a fucking diva!!! LL can sing dont get my wrong. BUT SHE WILL NEVERRR be what mariah is. WHO BEAT ELVIS? WHO BEAT THE KINGGG! in #1 single's? only mariah? mariah is the shit…and no matter how many bitches hate on her. at the end of the day. shes sexy. and she still has alot more money then all of u haters out there…anddddd perez needs a life. and he needs to get a treadmil!

  18. MIMIHO says – reply to this


    318

    The song said it all "BYE-BYE" to her career!
    Lame song, songwriter should be fired, and she should get over the fact that her one side of her face is "prettier" than the other side. A paper bag would solve the problem!!

    It didn't look like she was lip synching. You can tell because she still didn't sound that great.

  23. Pashie says – reply to this


    323

    No Way was she lip synching! She looks fab! what a true performer! Much better than Madge!

  25. jenny says – reply to this


    325

    she definitely was not lipsynching…all you have to do is listen, perez! she just has an amazing talent, that's why she sounds great live. i hate her diva personality, but i love her voice…perez you have to learn how to separate the 2!

  26. Yenny says – reply to this


    326

    Whoever says she did lipsync is a MORON

  27. tt says – reply to this


    327

    Your soo dumb Perez ..MIMI is clearly singing…U have nothing else to report on
    ..stop kissing Wadonnas A$$ its old and wrinkley..YUP so is her music so old in fact she had to use Justin T to sell her current Cd ….what, her music doesnt speak for itself..not like mariahs…….huh?

  28. Jerri Blank says – reply to this


    328

    GENERIC and BORING r'n'b, but what do you expect, america LOVES shitty music. Her performance just lays there, like a bored hooker. I would rather listen to Courtney Love burp the alphabet, than have to listen to complete and utter shit like this.

  29. des says – reply to this


    329

    NO SHE IS NOT !!!!!!!!SOUNDS LIVE TO ME

  30. Rik says – reply to this


    330

    of course it's live, my GOD people have we forgotten how great of a singer is Mariah Carey!!!! She sounds perfect, you'd think it's lipsynching!!!! she has always sounded like that, her voice is a pearl!!!

  31. KYLE says – reply to this


    331

    you really put a damper on gay people for me perez, ur really a dissapointment!

  32. Michelle says – reply to this


    332

    Thank you…I totally thought she wasn't singing last night. I would have preferred to hear David Cook sing again.

  33. K.J. says – reply to this


    333

    perez you really need to stop, did she say something bad about you? or are you simply being paid by someone to post such things? i don't get all the mariah hate. you keep making up shit about her and try to turn everything concerning mariah into something negative. it doesn't even feel like a gossip blog anymore… this place is becoming an anti-mariah website… it's so obvious what you are trying to do.

  34. Gern says – reply to this


    334

    She was lip synching for sure. I told my wife after the first few words. I can't believe AI would let them do that. She really needs a stylist that's not from New Jersey though. At least she's keeping it real. Real Tacky!

  35. Jordan says – reply to this


    335

    no, she's singing live! definitely. maybe with a little pre-recorded backing vocal 'help' but other than that, no.

    Re: clark – is madonna really paying perez? if so, how do you know this for sure?
    xo

  37. JJS says – reply to this


    337

    SHE DID NOT lip sync! Her background vocalists nearly sing harmony with her through out the whole song so it may sound that way, but she was LIVE. She ain't no J-LO!

  38. eww says – reply to this


    338

    it surely sucked last night I thought she was lipping most of it.

  39. b-rum says – reply to this


    339

    okay, so the first part it really did look like she was lip synching, but in the end you could even hear her breathe through out the singing, so I don't see why you'd blame the lip synching on her.. and even if she was.. Madonna should try that once in a while, because her live performances aren't all that either…

  40. tt says – reply to this


    340

    lets all send a tip to perez@perezhilton.com to leave mimi alone lets all tell him what we think maybe he will stop the bull about her

    YES!!! its clear what this is coming to! perez is TRYINGGGGGGGG!!! to bring mariah down! but no matter how much he trys! mariahs fans are her fans! and no matter how much this OLDonna lover trys… it wont work. mariah is mariah! only trueeee divasss!!! put there first name on there albums! and u even said it ur self perez! that certon people only need to put there first names on there albums when there true divas! and what did mariah do? just that!!! GOOOO MARIAH!

  42. Eric says – reply to this


    342

    She TOTALLY was lipsynching! Only DELUDED lambs would think otherwise. And for those supposed "not really a big fan of hers, but it does seem as though it was live" posts, GET REAL! You KNOW you're lambs, but you THINK you're smart and so you're posting as though regular people would like her crap and defend her. Puh-leeze!

    It's OBVIOUS that they were playing the track in the background and the background singers were singing live so that they could confuse people into thinking it she was singing live. She may have sung a couple of notes herself, but the MAJORITY was lip-synched, as are almost ALL of her major televised performances. She canNOT sing anymore. ACCEPT IT, BITCHES, and MOVE ON!

    Perez:::::::::::::::::
    Shut the fuck up by now. Its like you are wanting her to fail so much, but she is proving otherwise you fatass::::: She didnt lip synch you terd.

    Loser perez…u r such a hater..i love some of the things u say but not abt our girl mariah…she is an amazing singer and will never lipsynch..get it thru ur head…she doesnt need to lipsynch with that voice…i got the goose bumps once she started to hit those high notes…madonna and mariah are 2 diff singers…one is so into her dancing and lipsynching (madonna), and the other is all abt the voice (mariahhhhhhhh)…u go girl…love the album

  45. b-rum says – reply to this


    345

    Re: rose – okay, so i'm not a crazed fan of mariah's myself, but where the fuck do you come off saying she can't sing? do you even un plug your ears now and then? maybe you should try that next time before you go on blaming other people for not being able to sing:s damnn.. jealousy really does rule the world..

  46. Kelli says – reply to this


    346

    I think it was live.. she looks like she is trying to concentrate on getting everything right.. i think the other performances you showed.. definitely not live..
    this wasn't too bad actually

  47. Skye says – reply to this


    347

    Mariah sung live 100%. Had it not been for her backup singer the performance would have been flawless. Must be tough to see someone you hate doing oh so well. Sad Sad Sad.

  48. bellarose says – reply to this


    348

    i think it was live - until she got to the ending riff's…whenever she goes all over the place with her voice at the end of her songs, it always sounds like a recording to me. she still has an awesome voice tho!

  49. Lindsay says – reply to this


    349

    Yes! I thought that last night when I watched. It wasn't until the end though. You could tell a track came in and the camera backed way away from her for about the last 30 secs of the song. That was her at the beginning but her voice sounded really weak… it was def. a track at the end though… you can tell b/c there was no strain in her neck at the end!

  50. LOU says – reply to this


    350

    I WAS THERE!!! SHE DEF DID NOT LIPSYNCH!!! she sang live and there was no back track… she did her job and she made song even better then the recorded version!!!

  51. Mark says – reply to this


    351

    I was at sound check and the taping. She did the whole thing live. She wanted to do the last part again but there was no time before airing. Def. No Lip Sync
    There were probably a few parts coming off digital performer with some layers and her background singers filled in the rest.

  52. Jimmy says – reply to this


    352

    She was def. singing live!!! Who in the world would think that vocal performance was not sung live. Crazzzy

  53. L says – reply to this


    353

    If she was lipsynching or not…it just plain sucked. Still don't understand why people like this bitch so much.

  54. Eric says – reply to this


    354

    Re: Look For The Evidence…

    AMEN!!!

    That was my next post - just LOOK at 2:20! Her face is FAR from the mic and yet the sound stays the same. LIPSYNCH! And it's true, look at her 90's performances. When she really got into it and sang, her effort showed and she looked like she was singing for REAL! Now, her voice is SHOT and she struggles to sing the easiest notes, and TOTALLY looks like she's taking a dump to hit the higher ones whenever she does sing live. But, here, she MIRACULOUSLY looked effortless??? Give me a break. Open your eyes and ears and see that Mariah's singing has gone down the toilet!

    I used to love her, too. But I'm SO not a fan anymore. At this stage of Mariah's voice - and this is not a shot against Madonna - Madonna now sings better than Mariah! And Madonna hardly EVER lipsynchs. Check out her concerts. So don't even go there.

  55. Steven says – reply to this


    355

    It was completely live up until 3:20, and then she goes in and out with the backtrack helping out. I'm a huge Mariah fan, and just being honest. There is a part when its obvious when the backtrack is all fucked up with craziness going on. it's not the first time its happened.

  56. djf says – reply to this


    356

    she was signing live over her own recorded track. not a very good performance, though. so far, the two released songs are boring.

  57. littlemisssunshine says – reply to this


    357

    I don't think she was…she messed up once or twice but she still sounded great.

  58. Alex says – reply to this


    358

    the truth is CLEAR. she sang all of it live, but when the high part at the end came on, the track came on… she may have sang over it, but we heard mostly the track and the back up singers… and then she came in and did her little soft shit at the end of the song to try to convince us that she sang those high notes live.
    she can't belt the highs anymore

  59. KYLE says – reply to this


    359

    your fuckin stupid!!! at 2:20 where she pulls the mike out of the stand! there are no words being sung! smart on! she says the last part! grabs the mike out! and then starts singging again! look at it closly and turn ur fucking speakers up! U ALL KNOW SHE WASNT LIP SINGGING! UR JUST HATERS!

    i don't think she was lipsynching,i listed hundred times to the song in the album and this sounds different..anyway why she should do that?the girl can sing!

  65. stewart says – reply to this


    365

    perez - seriously. she was not lipsynching…
    you're losing lots of fans on your site by your constant bashing…

    can't wait for mimi to file her lawsuit from Island Def Jam so you can't talk about anyone including Rihanna, Janet, and Mariah…. all you will have is MadonnaHilton.com…. lame.

    Time to grow up, you're 30 now.

  66. Nick says – reply to this


    366

    Fat Mariah S.K.A.N.K.Y is simply boring and a no talent loser… She may be "big and fat" in the US, but not big worldwide. She is no supestar. Why listen to her dolphin squeal? My dog cant take it. Her new album sucks. Its a generic repeat from her previous albums. How original is that?

    Let's all kiss her ass so she wont fall into her depression again. She's an attention whore. Randy should stop giving her props. Give where credit is due…not to her.

    How tacky of her to "plug her album" while on stage with Ryan. Barf! She gave the show its lowest ratings.

  67. . says – reply to this


    367

    definitely not lipsynching…. i mean is there really any dispute regarding mariah's vocal ability??????

  68. mike sevens says – reply to this


    368

    The entire last verse is lipsynched. Also the back-up singer on the far left sings the entire song with mariah if you pay attention closely. Shady.

  73. Dave says – reply to this


    373

    Why do you assume just because she sounded great that she was lipsynching, let it go Perez!! She was singing live, you can even hear the the end-it was totally different than the record and in the middle something was flawed in the arrangement and she had to pause and then continue. Pay attention Perez!!

  87. Valentino says – reply to this


    387

    Whether she was lyp synching or not, the song was ultra-boring and sounds like everything else she does. Yawn. I can't believe she has so many number ones, since I can't even name one of them. Beyond that, I've never seen a woman perform with more drag queen flourishes! The way she waves her finger constantly is total drag!

    It was live, but she was barely singing.

  89. sdv says – reply to this


    389

    It appeared she was lipsynching, so my son and I watched and wondered through the whole song. We conclude - yes, she was lipsynching or perhaps singing quietly over her own recorded voice. There was no difference between her voice throughout the song and her voice at the end when she was singing the runs but her voice was also on the track.

    I watched it last night and thought she was lipsynching. And this was completely forgetting that she has recently done it in the past.

    C'mon, you're a Madonna fan and she has never sounded a quarter as god as MC
