The 'Fashionably Late' thing was actually really, really cute I felt and I will give credit to. The video idea running with it was a bit cheap looking though - I agree with others saying this kind of lowbrow quality would never have made it through a few years back. I found it insanely funny wondering if the crowd was wondering "WTF is she?" for most of the song and if they were just going to watch a video of her instead. The Meek and Ross parts seemed to drag on forever as I kept thinking JUST GET OUT ON STAGE FOR YOUR SONG MARIAH!! lol The audio mixing was definitely shot. I actually wondered if Mariahs mic was off for a while on her arrival and the backing singers were wailing so powerfully that I was wondering what the hell was going on. Mariah was hoarse but I've heard worse and she looked nice in the gold, workin' those flowey things on her wrists.

Like the song itself, this is one performance that I'll be forgetting.
Yeah I mean I respect her for TRYING to do something "interesting" with her performance, it's just that everytime she tries to do something new it always is executed SO FREAKING POORLY!!! 



Indeed. Being a big platform and given her status, you'd think the video would have been a bit more polished. Some of this inhouse stuff she has been doing of late looks very budget and sloppy. It dosen't become a legend of Mariahs calibre. I hate to say it as it will only fatten the already obese egos of the Beyhive but you just know an artist like Beyonce would have that sh!t looking so smooth and classy you could eat your dinner off it.

Even Beyonce's behind the scenes video clips look more polished.

The guy who did the video uploaded it to his website.  It's just the video, so no shots from the performance.  There's more to it, as in Mariah jiggling her boob.

Her face looks a bit.....odd in that video. Fatigue?  The video is cute but I see why folks are saying it looks unpolished.  Lol at her grabbing her boob. smiley: laugh

Shame we don't have a video of this impromptu performance by the way. She probably sounded awesome considering this was an intimate setting. No backing tracks, no awful audio mixing, no background singers, just her and a piano... And I'm sure she probably did all these Jazz improvisations that she always nails. Wish someone would've recorded this.

^ Exactly. She always shines on these impromptu performances where she is just adlibing with no track to follow to.

I didn't like the performance last night. The sound was a mess and so unprofessional. She could hardly be heard when she sang the second chorus.

She sounded great singing TMB, ABMB and WBT. Triumphant just didn't translate well live. Props to her for trying to make something of the performance because it was a hard song to sing considering all the layering, intricacies that the song has. But that's that now. Onwards and upwards.

Maybe I missed it - but where can I hear ABMB? (I don't even care about hearing WBT, I know how it will go )

That video is pathetic. I'm over that whole Mariah trying to be sexy, posing etc. Ugh.
The new album better be good cause she's starting to annoy me now.

Other then the video looking cheap and her ackward posing... It wasn't that bad. She looked great, her part was ok, vocally she had some good moments and then of course back up track. Atleast she tried something creative an in attempt to make the song be performed live since she does come in after 2 mins. I hope she continues on this path of putting more effort, just as long as it gets better, and more polish of course.... I guess we can say girl just has to get better taste lol.

No, I don't hope she continues on the path of hiding behind backing singers, and bad vocals and performances where she's hardly in it.smiley: laugh

The Thriumphant performance was a mess smiley: indifferent It was so boring to see the rap parts going on forever and when she came we got more backing track than anything else

Agreed, especially with the bolded part. Which is why I think she needs to look more into that whole audio system, whoever arranges her tracks, the audio mixing and all these technical issues. They need to get it right for once. She's like constantly plagued by such issues, and it's a shame because she's currently in good voice but it doesn't show. smiley: tired 

They better fix this %%%$ for her future performances. Especially the one on Idol where she'll do her real single. Everything needs to be on point, she can't afford to face similar technical problems. I'm gonna get roasted for saying this, but I wish her people were as organized and professional as Beyoncé's. That b!tch always comes off sounding and looking picture perfect.

Watching WBT performance I felt a little nostalgic, can't believe it has been 7 years since TEOM era
