"Mariah Carey, read my lips: Your time is up"
Quote:
The most shocking thing about Mariah Carey's New Year's Eve lip-sync train wreck is that anyone found it shocking at all. Not because it wasn't remarkable – it was, in the way it managed to be both shameful and utterly shameless at the same time – but because she's done it so many times before.
Mariah Carey fakes it, and fakes it badly? Yawn. That's so 2013. And 2014. And 2015. And, obviously, it's so, so, so December 31, 2016.

Her management has tried to shift the blame for her performance, in which she gave up even pretending to sing or dance, by complaining about faulty earpieces and deliberate "sabotage" by the telecast's producers. But it's time to tell it like it is: Mariah, girl, you ain't fooling no one.

The entire edifice of her fame rests on the memory of a fabled five-octave range and "whistle pitch", that high trilled note that, to the non-fan, sits just this side of a horror movie victim's piercing death scream.

Quote:
Maybe she's just gone all Vegas on us, and lost sight of the fact that it was her voice that got her where she is. God knows, it isn't her dancing; despite all the low-cut booty suits and glitter, it's doubtful a less dynamic performer has ever been seen outside a CWA Christmas revue.

Quote:
I think the woman is just plain rude. She disdains her audience, and has long since abandoned any notion of it being a two-way relationship, one in which she puts in some effort and receives love and adulation (and, of course, riches aplenty) in return.

Seriously. This is a woman of 46, who has made hundreds of millions of dollars from recording and performing, admitting she can't be bothered rehearsing, who says she can't be held responsible for not turning up on time, who doesn't even pretend to sing any more? That's not a relationship, it's abuse.
Mariah Carey, read my lips: it's a no from me.
Your time is up. Please leave the stage, and take all those other lip-syncers with you.

She sang live at the residency and on her European tour and put effort in both of these gigs.
Reading the article, you'd think she hasn't sung live in years.

Oh well, if Karl Quinn says she's over he's gotta be right.

Well she's been over for quite a while. Maybe this is just a wake-up call for her delusional stans?

Geez. I know Aussie papers are kind of brutal with reviews/commentary, but damn.

The article is spot on in the sense that she's done it too many times before and gotten away with it
She even mimed at the Grammys and then got a standing ovation (Fly like a bird - high notes all mimed shamelessly)
I was thinking ... really people... are you so easily fooled?

I despise our Australian media. It's tacky, ignorant, desperate for clicks & often misinformed.
