Mariah Carey’s Disastrous Billboard Music Awards Appearance Slammed On Social Networking (Videos)

Mariah Carey tries to hit the whistle register she is famous for and misses: 

 

Mariah Carey’s Billboard Music Awards performance descended into disaster. Social networking slammed Carey left right and center over her subpar vocals. The social networking comments were overwhelmingly unfavorable, due to the state of Carey’s vocals. Carey forgets we live in an age where software enables people to strip background music and backup singers to hear what an artist sounds like live. Someone removed all the background music and signers from Carey’s performance and the singer’s vocals were bad. Jennifer Lopez and Kylie Jenner looked at Carey with awkward expressions over the poorly received performance.

This comes on the heels of Carey canceling a performance of her Las Vegas residency last week citing bronchitis. Carey did not sound like someone with bronchitis, but a singer whose voice has deteriorated. The Judiciary Report stated in January 2015 that Carey needed to take a break, spend some time with her kids and work on getting her life together. It was abundantly clear to the site she was not ready for any music endeavors, but she went ahead and signed up for a vocally strenuous Las Vegas residency and live performances, such as the Billboard Music Awards and it has turned into one disaster after another.

It does not make sense for singers, especially those in Carey’s genre, to go out there when they are not at their best. Seriously, why go out there when you are not at your best. While Carey sounds better than Britney Spears and Rihanna, who can’t sing, she still sounds way less than her best and that was automatically going to invite criticism and damage her legacy.

However, listening to advice has always been Carey’s problem. During her years at Sony, especially when she just started her career, she would fight against the executives decisions, who had experience. She was routinely off base with what she was fighting for. An example of this would be, she wanted the impressive songs “Love Takes Time” and “Someday” left off her debut album, but kept talking up “All In Your Mind” which is average. They repeatedly warned Carey about her choice in clothes and behavior, but she started to fight against them when she had more clout and her sales began to plummet due to the changes. An artist who won’t listen to constructive criticism and advice is their own worst enemy.

We see that again this year, as Carey, who reads this website and has for years, rushed forward with the residency that is experiencing low ticket sales and had a cancellation by her, after the first week. She is onstage out of breath and being wheeled around on prop after prop because the show is too taxing for her. It has nothing to do with age, because Patti Labelle and Tina Turner put on energetic shows with great vocals and they are in their 70s.

Carey doesn’t need the money for the shows, as her divorce proceedings regarding husband Nick Cannon revealed she has $150,000,000 in cash and assets. Conversely, with the money and other resources at her disposal, she has the ability to get help for her voice, appearance and health, but refuses to do so. Carey is not too old to be a relevant and successful star with big hits. She is engaging in conduct that is working against her. She has no one but herself to blame for what is happening to her career. However, apart of the problem is Carey is addicted to fame. So she’s going to go out there at all costs, even if it means embarrassment and damaging her legacy.

Mariah Carey's disastrous 2014 tour showed the world she is not at her best

Is Mariah Carey hurting for money. Is Nick Cannon sticking her up for a lot of cash in their divorce. Why you ask? The struggling singer is in talks to do her own residency in Las Vegas, which equates to a series of singing shows. Carey, whose voice spectacularly gave out in 2014, with the website TMZ there to capture every excruciating and embarrassing detail, is not in the condition to hit the road. 

Carey needs to give her voice a rest, lest she does more permanent damage to her already battered and torn vocal cords. Throwing herself into her work in this manner is not going to help her forget about Cannon's cheating. I'll tell you what's going to happen. She is going to go on stage and it will open her voice up to repeated strain and literal tearing, night after night, as well as errors due to distractions (see: Nick Cannon's cheating) creating even more bad publicity when the mistakes go viral. She's just setting herself up for more punishment.

Carey's legacy is horribly damaged. She needs to stay home and spend time with her children and see a therapist on a weekly basis, as she is prone to suicidal behavior (she has attempted suicide more than once). A therapist can help her let go of all the quirks and eccentricities, as well as the narcissism and other personality disorders that have damaged her relationships with people in her professional and personal life.

There are legendary stories in the industry of the sheer nightmare Carey put employees of numerous companies through with her unreasonable, demanding behavior. A therapist can also help her come to terms with no longer being a teen star (she debuted at age 18) as her mind is still stuck in that phase and so is her dress sense and mannerisms.

Carey's 2014 tour did not fail because she is getting older (Carey is 45). It failed because she refuses to accept the fact she is no longer 18 and her voice is damaged from years of drinking, drug use and overuse of her vocal cords via belting in upper octave registers (there had to have been repeated tearing and bleeding of her vocal cords for years to produce said sounds on a constant basis). 

There are artists who are older than Carey, such as the Rolling Stones, Tina Turner, Patti Labelle and Barbra Streisand, to name a few and their live vocals are still strong and on point. In closing, Carey needs to enter rehab for alcohol and prescription pill abuse, as well as narcotics use. This would make a significant difference in her life. Carey's children need her. She needs to change her life in order to be there for them in a full capacity as parent.  

Mariah Carey Booed In Japan As Her Voice Gives Out During Concert She Slammed Husband Nick Cannon As A “Motherf******“ (Exclusive: He Cheated A Lot)

Pop singer, Mariah Carey, 45, is in the middle of a messy divorce from husband, comedian, Nick Cannon, 33. The comedian-turned-actor cheated on Carey, as stated in the August 27, 2014 Judiciary Report article Nick Cannon Left Mariah Carey Because He Says She Is Mentally Ill. Two months later, Carey confirmed Cannon's cheating via singing the line "I know you cheated motherf*****" during her ill-received Japan concert this past weekend.  

Since Mariah confirmed it, let me throw out some more of what I know. The Judiciary Report has it on good authority, via a source responsible for some of the site's exclusives that Nick cheated on Mariah not once, twice or three times, but FOUR! He is completely in the wrong for cheating on his spouse.

While we're on the subject of her recent Japan concert that was a disaster, it is another example of the Judiciary Report being proven right again. Remember last year when Mariah Carey’s unbalanced fans she calls “lambs” attacked me on Twitter for asking a simple set of questions a) what happened to her voice b) was Kelly Price singing more on Carey’s latter CDs than she received credit for?

After about 50 of her crazed fans attacked me on Twitter, I tweeted that the harassing spam would lead to me writing about Carey on the Judiciary Report, stating she deserves to be boycotted for fostering such fanaticism in her fans who've attacked Kelly Price and Nicki Minaj as well over free speech. Fast-forward one year and true to the Judiciary Report’s boycott, Carey’s new CD "Me. I Am Mariah. The Elusive Chanteuse" bombed.

Fast-forward a few more months to now and Carey was booed in Japan this month over her very poor vocal performance. This proves what the Judiciary Report stated last year (and prior to that as well) Carey's voice is going. This is all I was stating and asking about when the "lambs" tried to jump down my throat. Now you see it for yourselves (see video posted above of her recent concert).

I was a fan of Carey’s when she started out. Carey debuted when I was about 12-years-old and I bought her CD. Her voice was strong and clear on her self-titled debut. Carey did well during live performances during that time period. Her voice was on target. However, by the time she reached her third CD “Music Box” it became apparent something had gone wrong with her voice. 

Mariah Carey

Female singer’s voices often begin to deteriorate in their 50s. Here was Mariah in her 20s with noticeable vocal damage. As a singer, I always found what happened to her perplexing (not to mention scary). Mariah’s contemporaries such as Whitney Houston, didn’t suffer that type of vocal deterioration. 

A great example of a strong voice that keeps on going is Patti Labelle, who is in her 70s and her vocals are as strong as ever (she looks better than ever too). Something happened to Carey that caused her voice to go very early. I don’t think it is psychological. It's something physical/physiological.

It could be overuse of upper octave notes, particularly the whistle register on a regular basis. Carey put out a lot of CDs and did many performances in the 1990s with the whistle register, made popular by Minnie Ripperton, as her trademark. There's a possibility it constitute overuse of an unnatural tone and it created damage over the course of a few years. 

Carey also like to belt on stage with big notes. Belting may get artists great reviews and applause, but studies have shown it can also create vocal cord tearing and bleeding. Singers don't see the damage, but proper medical inspection will reveal it.

It could also be something Carey was ingesting that did a bit of damage. Sometimes singers mix up special concoctions, variations of teas and other liquids, to soothe their voices. There's also a brand of specialty tea (not a mainstream one) I don't think is particularly good for singer's voices, based on the ingredients, but I haven't done any comparative research on the product and will withhold my opinion and the name at this time. Either way, Carey's rapid vocal changes indicating depletion would make a good case study.

Cee-Lo Green's Retro Wig At The BET Awards Was Dead Wrong!

Why Black People, Why! (LOL)

During a tribute to singer Patti Labelle, rapper turned singer, Cee Lo Green, donned a spiky wig that was reminiscent of one of her hairstyles from the 1980s. Oh that wig was wrong! He also kept spraying it with hairspray every few seconds. Somebody needs to upgrade Cee-Lo's medication at once, to a stronger dose, because that dude has problems. The humor was on point, but the performance could have done without the curse word.
