I don't agree.
MCIIY and MIAM are full of the classic Mariah Carey vocal style. I could understand you whining about this after an album like E or TEOM (both of which - especially E - were too straightforward vocally), but not after this new album. Look, expecting Mariah to sound JUST like her old self is irrational given the change in her voice, aging etc, but she did make a great effort to bring back the trademark Mariah Carey vocals with this album and she succeeded, if you ask me. The only thing I realized I'm missing on this album - and I'm just nit-picking really - is a few growl moments here and there... was listening to "Always Be My Baby" last night and I loved the end where she growls: "no way you're never gonna shake me!"
Sidenote, I could've sworn you've made the EXACT same thread in the past... about Glitter being the last real Mariah Carey album or something like that.
First of all... I'm not whining about her voice. I even stated that it was an observation and not a bad thing. I do think she still sounds better than most, if not all, of the current artists. Yes, MCIIY and parts of MIAM have old school references in regards to her singing and I'm grateful for it but the belting still remains different. Not a bad thing. I understand her voice inevitably would change.
At the end of the day, I am still posting on this board 15 years later because I adore Mariah and defend her to the end if anyone attacks.

Plus, these are things I post here because I wouldn't speak about to non-Lambs. I shut down all negativity about her with them
