SApril I agree that Mariah needs some rebranding.
I really want her to come to terms as to where she is in her life. I feel like she's stuck being the Diva from TEOM, I loved that record but she needs to move forward and evolve her sound. She doesn't seem to have gotten the hint with the failures of her last albums, I'm not sure what would do it. She probably doesn't have to be the only one writing her songs either. I think she needs a team again writing out songs that make sense and aren't just hooks, with rappers doing most of the heavy lifting.
If I were to go to one of her shows now I would be more annoyed that she wasn't putting in the effort to sing live. The lip synching is terrible and she couldn't cover up the fact that she forgot the words because the song was playing with lead vocals, not just a backing track. Do better Mariah I'm rooting for you.

I'm watching vintage SNL from 1990 with Mariah singing Vision of Love. That's the Mariah I was a fan of.

I think she should leave the music world for now and focus on acting. She was very impressive in Precious and has the potential to carve out a respectable acting career. Even with her earlier career triumphs, on a personal level the music business has always been toxic for her. She'd do herself a world of good if she got away from it for a while.

Mariah needs someone to come in and rebrand her. And doing some disgusting Butterfly drink is not the answer. One of her mortal enemies Nicki also shills a drink. Mimi doesn't want to copy her , does she? I think she should leave the music world for now and focus on acting. She was very impressive in Precious and has the potential to carve out a respectable acting career Nice idea, but Mariah's at that age when opportunities for an actress seem to dry up. Look at Jennifer Lopez (who once was hot in Hollywood), and J. Lo's been in more movies than Mariah. I really want her to come to terms as to where she is in her life. I feel like she's stuck being the Diva from TEOM, I loved that record but she needs to move forward and evolve her sound. Wasn't Madonna known for evolving her look and her sound? I think Whitney tried to rebrand herself after divorced Bobby and started working with Clive again.

JLo started out getting respect for her acting, but that wasn't good enough for her. She wanted to be a STAR. Whatever acting talent she had took a backseat to her pursuit for stardom. So she took empty romantic comedy roles, and when that didn't quite do the trick, she further pursued stardom by turning to music. She didn't want to be a musician. She didn't want to be an actress. She only wanted stardom and didn't care which medium she had to use to get it.
But enough about JLo! Mariah has the wealth and pre-baked fame that would allow her to choose smaller dramatic roles that don't require her to be young in age or appearance. It would be very 40s of her to find a way to feel good about herself that isn't tied to her appearance or image. With her raging insecurity it will probably never happen, but it's a nice thought anyway.

So, a lot of people thought Mariah lacked the work ethic to pull off this Vegas stint. Turns out we were right.. Cancelled her most recent show an hour before she was supposed to hit the stage due to "recovering from bronchitis". Promises to somehow make it up to fans- many of whom traveled to Vegas specifically to see her. Anyone could have seen this coming. I'm amazed she made it about two weeks before her first cancellation. I'm betting on a medical dictionary's worth of cancellations before the end of her run.

Her fans are not impressed. Apparently she cancelled an hour before the show. You totally know you have bronchitis before then. Sounds like even Britney had a better work ethic. I'm annoyed on her fans' behalf, there's no making it up to people who can't get their plane/hotel fares back.

Not that Mariah's is all that labor intensive either. She gets wheeled around a lot, and hits 75-80% of her struggle notes. Anyone that's been paying even a little bit of attention to MC the last few years could have seen this coming. Mariah is a big ole mess right now.

I think I've already outed myself as a pretty big Mariah Carey fan, but there is no way I would go to Vegas to see her. If I already had plans to go and could synch up the dates, I would jump on tickets. But making a special trip just wont end well. Her voice is not what it used to be, she doesn't have the stage presence that other legends do, and chances are pretty high she will cancel half the shows. Her heart isn't into giving concerts.
I would love to see her sign Vision of Love (without even trying the high notes).

The Daily News is saying that there was barely any rehearsal for this show and her body can't handle it. Not shocking, but the reason I'm posting this link is because she recently hired a new publicist after a public spat with her former publicist in which Mariah and ex-publicist feuded over who fired who first. I just thought this statement released from the new publicist was funny:
