When I watched her perform Triumphant on TV yesterday, only one thought went through my mind. It wasn't "OMG she's lipping" or "the sound's awful" or "wow this song doesn't translate to a live performance." It was, "Damn. Mariah is completely out of touch." Between the song itself (which, don't get me wrong, I think is a great Rick Ross/Meek Mill song that I listen to all the time), her stage presence (which is way too stiff and stale and the same tired dancers doing the same tired dance routines while she stands in a skin tight dress and lips), and the overall presentation of her material (i.e., her consistently recording songs that are way too high for her ever replicate live in a manner that would WOW an audience - which is what she needs right now to cement any sort of comeback), she's just out of touch. As a tried-and-true fan for the last 18 years, I know not to count Mariah out AT ALL and I have full faith that she could release a song that would SLAY and revamp her image...


All I know is that this song won't do it. She needs to regroup.
