    Yup, she's pregnant. Look at the size of those tits. She probably threw up before singing. Yes indeed, she's expecting.



  2. 102

    sean honey i think you overposted a little bit.



  3. 103

    what the fuck is that screaming in the background that sounds like a dying dinosaur!?!?



  4. 104

    DO YOU THINK SHE'S LOSING HER VOICE?



  5. 105

    That's what happens when you give one too many blow jobs the night before a concert.



  6. 106

    Something has happened to her voice over the years.. she cannot sing now.. sounds like SHIT



  7. 107

    I loathe that mentally ill hoochie grandma.



  8. 108

    it sounds to me like she was trying to be very careful. but still very good. somebody else said they wished they could sing this way, I totally agree, I WISH I could sing like this!! she's still got it.



  9. 109

    She was NOT singing live, I watched it on TV, she mimed her ass off!



  10. 110

    I thought she sounded fine. She did sound like her voice was raspy like she had a cold or something, and she had been stronger 15 years ago, but she still sounded fine.



  11. 111

    Awww, Perez, Mariah sounds better than Madonna even on what you say is her bad day. Honestly though, she sounded just fine to me.



  12. 112

    oh my gosh like wtf is exciting about that? i hate it when singers just stand there standing there like everyone should listen and pay attention, come on you fool dance a bit, entertain, PERFORM, then i'll have respect, if not and you stand there doing nothing and bore the hell out of us just move away, you're BORING. theres millions of girls like u on youtube that think theyre all that!



  13. 113

    wat happened to Mariah? That song used to give me goosebumps, now it sounds like i'm at karaoke night at my local bar! poor mariah!



  14. 114

    Re: Mariahrox – how can you defend that? c'mon



  15. 115

    Okay, so she did not sing in the octave that recorded the song in, she is older and her voice is a little scratchy, like she slightly strained it or has a cold. give her a break, she still has a amazing voice and she showed up and performed with the scratchy voice. most would have cancelled and disappointed the live crowd. Oh, and even slightly scratchy, she still has a voice that is 1000% better than madonna ever was and ever will be. unfortunately, speaking of madonna, what is the matter, no dramatic news in a few days. Her pr crew must be off.



  16. 116

    she needs to stop singing.



  17. 117

    She sounds blah and boring. The song is dragging and the choir is not really that great! The whole performance seems fake and forced. DEAD!!!



  18. 118

    Perez what is ur problem? Does she need to scream all the time to show her quality of voice?

    I think she sang very well



  19. 119

    She was average. She didn't sound bad, but she didn't sound spectacular either. But leave it to Mariah to stay within her comfort zone. She sang the song like it was still 1993. As far as her voice, Mariah has suffered the same fate as Barbra Streisand. In their youth, they had powerful voices, they were everywhere, and they recorded nearly back-to-back albums. That much performing, however, has put a lot of strain on their voice. Their problem was their egos were too big, they thought their voices were to good to hire a vocal coach, practice scales, etc. A vocal coach doesn't teach you how to sing; they train you to keep using the voice you already have effectively and more. You can but you really can't just blame it on age either, because there are singers in their 70s that still sound great (Shirley Bassey comes to mind).



  20. 120

    lmao, she's over the hill and sounds whack.



  21. 121

    it does seem that the famous guest stars on the X Factor are the weakest performers of the night!!



  22. 122

    damn, she sounds really bad now that I'm used to hear her playbacking.
    shame…

  23. tasha says – reply to this


    123

    I thought she actually sounded better then she has lately. So are you going to post Britney Spears performnace perez. She's suppose to be on pretty soon. You know that will be entirely lipsyched.



  24. 124

    she blows



  25. 125

    sounds like the flu.



  26. 126

    she was fine. her upper register was gone, which makes me think she was sick. who cares i dont like her anyhow.



  27. 127

    She sounds okay but those high notes are gone!



  28. 128

    Moo riah could never sing. She has the nerve to put Madonna down and her Moo goes making a fool of herself. I saw Made in LA and San Diego and I must say she can she circles around big fat Mooo Riah.



  29. 129

    this is actually sad from a huge mariah fan for many years.. she really is losing her voice :(



  30. 130

    Sore throat.



  31. 131

    it wasn't that bad but she used to sound better back in the day.



  32. 132

    I usually don't like her singing…but this is pretty good.



  33. 133

    Stop hating Perez! Let me see you sing that song…She was a bit off, but still good!



  34. 134

    Sounds like she has a cold



  35. 135

    She was great.
    Sixteen years ago.



  36. 136

    Sorry months ago when she sung on Saturday Night Live. She sounded the same. First Whitney now Mariah. There voices have disappeared. No more high notes for Mariah.



  37. 137

    She was definitely sick. The whole song was sung purposely in a lower key and her rungs were broken into uh uh uh's rather than smoothe like she usually does. Clearly she is having issues with her throat or pipes. She usually annoys me because she sings in such a high octave and is very breathy. None of that was happening here.



  38. 138

    Did she start lip syncing at the end because all of a sudden she started singing better and they barely showed her face during that part!



  39. 139

    Oh, c'mon, Perez. It was NOT that bad.



  40. 140

    She did fine Perez! You are stupid! SHE CAN'T SING LIKE BEFORE OF COURSE, BUT SHE'S GREAT…

    WHY DON'T YOU POST HER 1ST PERFORMANCE THAT WAS AMAZING!



  41. 141

    sounds like she's getting a crack voice.
    I guess she cant handle it, unlike our beloved whit whit



  42. 142

    The beginning sucked big time, but she did pick it up at the end.



  43. 143

    this has to be one of those times I am just going to disagree with you Perez.
    I can't stand her but she sounded just fine.
    I think you might be slightly tone deaf.



  44. 144

    HER VOICE WASN'T THERE?
    Please! This world is gettin' grazy!
    I always see posts about Madonna, Hilary Duff and they NEVER mention how awful her voices are live. And then you call THIS performance a crap?
    Mariah didn't hit the high notes because she just didn't feel like it. You could clearly see that she could. Her voice wasn't weak.
    And yes, she sounded sick.
    People who think this is bad are the same people who are buying madonna cds thinking how good singer she is.

    And guys, ONE not-so-good song and she's over?? Tell me about Britney..
    This stupid question is the real shit!

    And please, if you are going to judge, do it always according to the same patterns. Thank you;



  45. 145

    She wasn't too bad. She needs singing lessons to work on her range though and she needs to stop dumbing her voice down with shitty hip-hop/R&B crap.

    Y'all chrazzzzzzzzzzzy, she sounds and looks awesome.



  48. 148

    she really sucks now >:[
    too much cock

    Did she start lip syncing at the end because all of a sudden she started singing better and they barely showed her face during that part!

    ——————yes



  50. 150

    Ok, everyone the FACTS: Mariah is older, thus her throat/vocal cords/diagphragm are all older as well making her singing not as GREAT as it used to be. Her voice is STILL GOOD, albeit weaker, but it's still pretty and she sings on key 99% of the time. She sings BETTER and will always sing BETTER than Madonna, Britney and nearly everyone else in pop music today. Madonna = show, Mariah = actual talent. I'm not a fan of either, but I'd MUCH rather pay for someone who actually has vocal talent.



  51. 151

    PEREZ YOU NEED TO UPDATE THIS SITE MORE.



  52. 152

    That dress is amazing on her



  53. 153

    Blah! No me gusta



  54. 154

    wow that was pretty bad .. she was sounded amateurish and lack of confidence.
    gosh what happened to her her voice is a shadow of herself.
    but there was a little glimmer of her past voice, I think she needs to stop prancing around with her z-lister man and go to a damn sound studio and work on her voice to get her career back.



  55. 155

    she is still amazing, she just tried to make it sound newer.
    f all you bittches who hate on mariah carey, she's the best
    singer out there, atleast she doesn't fake it like all those
    fake ass singers out there.



  56. 156

    THAT WAS WACK! IT'S LIKE SHE DON'T EVEN TRY ANYMORE.. LIKE SHE DON'T PUSH TO SOUND GOOD ANYMORE LIKE SHES PAST THAT AND DON'T HAVE TO WORK AS HARD BECAUSE SHE KNOWS SHES THE SHIT..BUT NOW ADAYS SOUNDS LIKE SHIT..
    (I NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS THOUGHT THAT I'D BE SAYING THAT)



  57. 157

    Re: SEAN637 – WHY did you feel the need to post that 30 times?!



  58. 158

    Perez

    U are right this time
    she still makes me cry when she sings that song however
    a little scratchy throat perhaps ?
    i think so
    a scratchy throat thats all it is she will be fine
    LOVE MiMi love her voice :)
    someone call the doc and get her healed up



  59. 159

    oh no…i'm disappointed. i love this song.



  60. 160

    this is gold compared to any of miley's live performances…



  61. 161

    how embarrassing



  62. 162

    Ugh! She's being lazy; She can do better than this I'm sure, but maybe she's just so used to Lip Syncing, that she might not be as confident singing out. Or maybe its just how she sings it live. Either way, she could've done better.



  63. 163

    WTF happened to her voice! I know she won't sound the same way she did 18 years ago but damn, did she forget how to sing? Is it because of all the high notes?I don't get it. Was the air too dry or something? She always talks about keeping her vocal cords moist but it seems to me that is whats messing her her up? She sounds a hot tranny mess…..



  64. 164

    i like it its not bad just not as good as she once was

  65. k-lee says – reply to this


    165

    She did NOT suck, Perez. It was just a different arrangement, but she sounded fine.



  66. 166

    she's a whore, and she'll always be a whore.



  67. 167

    Has anyone ever consideres that she may be on drugs?



  68. 168

    Mariah didn't do that great on the Hero song. I agree. She is probably over that song, lol . I would be .

    She killed her other performance on X Factor of her new single I Stay in Love. Check it out.



  69. 169

    Chupa chorizo chingon!

  70. Dizzy says – reply to this


    170

    She probably had to hold back as not to make the contestants seem even a tad little bit interesting and "talented". But as many people over the years have covered that song on these shows, MAriah still sounded and looked better! Go Mimi!



  71. 171

    oh come on!
    it wasn't that bad…
    she just toned down some notes that she can't reach anymore ^^



  72. 172

    Um, she's just terrible. I got this solo in my chorus concert in middle school and did better! Man, why aren't I rich??



  73. 173

    She sounds like she always does.



  74. 174

    sounds like she had one too many glasses of champagne erode her vocal cords.

  75. ydur says – reply to this


    175

    STILL I'd like to hear that voice on someone else!
    and WTF with the person voted off?



  76. 176

    This gave me the chills, in a good way. She sounds fine - I think she has a bit of a headcold, is all. Bitch can sing!



  77. 177

    THIS IS ACTUALLY QUITE A STELLAR PERFORMANCE..MARIAH APPEARED ON THIS SHOW AT THE REQUEST OF SIMON COWELL..SHE IS SINGING A DIFFERENT VERSION OF "HERO" AND PURPOSEFULLY NOT HITTING THE HIGH NOTES OR GOING ON HER UPPER REGISTRY..BY THE WAY "HERO" IS NOW #1 IN THE UK, 2ND WEEK IN A ROW !! HITTING #1, 15 YEARS AFTER ITS ORIGINAL RELEASE IS UNHEARD OF..ONLY MARIAH, THE BIGGEST SELLING ARTIST OF ALL TIMES, WITH OVER 200 MILLION ALBUMS & SINGLES SOLD, CAN ACCOMPLISH THAT!!



  78. 178

    swallowing that big black dick will make a girlz throat change shape..thus creating non-harmonic resonance..

    dr oz



  79. 179

    it sounds like she may have a cold, or has lost her voice. she was warbley at the beginning, but she sounded great when the choir was behind her. this song is extremely difficult to sing! cut her some slack.



  80. 180

    LOL on the high notes her voice were crispy



  81. 181

    Did ANYONE HEAR THE BACKUP SINGERS????
    THEY WERE HORRIBLE. ONE OF THEM WAS TRYING TO HIT THE HIGH C NOTE…
    AND THAT RUINED THE WHOLE SONG IN MY OPINION.
    BUT MARIAH STILL WAS HORRIBLE…

    Re: vanesa3000 – you can't speak well this sentence



  83. 183

    i sound more like mariah carey than mariah carey does. that's sad.

  84. Nonte says – reply to this


    184

    So that's why she's been singing playback for a good while…



  85. 185

    I think she sounds great! Granted, not as good as back in the day, but she still sounds good!



  86. 186

    Mimi was never my fave girl. I actually hated her for a while. But, I know she can do a whole shitload better than that. Come on girl. I know it's in you. Don't let the likes of Jordan Sparks trample over you.



  87. 187

    she sounds better than probably 99% of you do, so quit hating. next time, before you start talking crap about someone who's better than you in SOO many ways, remember: people usually put down others because there jealous and making that person look bad makes them feel better about themselves. instead of trying to make her look bad, you all should look deep down and try to figure out why you think so low of yourselves that you have to shit talk to feel like a better person.



  88. 188

    It's so obvious that Mariah's voice is lost. First, she was pushing her voice so hard in the beginning of her career and sounded great, but it had a price but still she had a nice voice like in daydream and butterfly, but the big problem came when she started going gangsta surrounded by rappers, drinking too much alcohol (alcohol dries your vocal chords, even her "crystal") and doing "not hard drugs" but still drugs. She said actually that she has never done "hard drugs" but if you are dressing like a slut (that means you expose your chest and throat to the chilly weather) and partying out daily until 6am next day, drinking alcohol and using "soft drugs" obviously you lost it. And that happened. Since she split from Tommy it was so obvious how bad her voice became. Sometimes she sounds ok, when singing her new easy material, but when she needs to sing her oldies those when she used to have an incredible powerful voice then she sounds like shit. Poor girl. At least she looked almost classy tonight. She needs to use bangs to cover that enormous forehead and her freaky left eye and to use a better make up, but she was "fine". If you check she sounds better on "I Stay In Love" ’cause is a new song written for her now wasted voice. Hero was a big effort for her but she cannot sing that the way she used back on the early 90's



  89. 189

    Re: SEAN637 – Idiot, just waste your time posting once, if you want your mimi thing to appear 10 times then at least praise your bitch 10 times with a different argument. Maybe you don't have more than one, but in capitals I can tell you "SURE SHE'S NOT 20 Y.O. ANYMORE, THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO LOSE YOUR VOICE, LISTEN TO CELINE WHO'S EVEN OLDER AND STILL SINGS LIKE HELL!" Mariah lost it to so many other reasons, but the reason as the one that said is a singer and knows about it, it's true, she lost it. That's what's important and that's why she focuses now just in showing her implants cause she doesn't has a voice to show like before.



  90. 190

    im not a fan of hers, but I think she sang it fine. She changed the tune of it, but who cares. it's better than madonna when she tries to sing live!



  91. 191

    Now we know why she never sings live anymore :P



  92. 192

    Re: Jungle81 – Yeah, I noticed it aswell. What in the world was that?! It's kind of sad to see.



  93. 193

    She just needed to warm up. She sounded great in the middle to the end. She looked fantastic and she seemed happy. She's wonderful.

  94. drrtx says – reply to this


    194

    common perez…she doesn't sound that bad…I actually enjoyed the song..it was good



  95. 195

    she's awesome!!!



  96. 196

    Does she has some Cannon remnants in her throat??? It is Possible! We all know she couldn't be that infatuated with him for his looks!! Can't dis her too harshly though, she's still a DIVA!!



  97. 197

    LOL, THE BITCH CAN'T SING SHIT!



  98. 198

    I watched it live and thought it wasn't very good but I have just watched it back and it is ok. MC was very stiff during the show though and when she was interviewed on The Xtra Factor she did not move her head or neck. I love MC but something is not right with her these days.

  99. Naela says – reply to this


    199

    She sounded like she was singing low to protect her voice.She probably had a cold or something.



  100. 200

    she usually sings well live….she sounded awful there, i wanted to rip out my eyes out and stick them in my ears!! she must of been sick or somethin….
