The vocals are decent, maybe better than her previous albums, but are by no means so good as to be impossible for her.<br /><br />I understand that you feel that her lack of live consistency indicates she needs editing to sing... But all a lack of live consistency indicates is a lack of consistency. She has had some good performances. These songs are mostly, aurally similar to her Australian concert ;) though perhaps a tad cleaner.Reiko Kanakinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-14412491552724498742014-06-07T01:01:27.833+01:002014-06-07T01:01:27.833+01:00Good move, pre-orders have shot up after she put t...Good move, pre-orders have shot up after she put this up for streaming.Reiko Kanakinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-11904662465197336012014-06-07T01:01:25.815+01:002014-06-07T01:01:25.815+01:00A 'Light- Lyric Soprano' singing 'E2&#...A 'Light- Lyric Soprano' singing 'E2's & F2's': Bass-Baritone/Baritone notes?

On unrelated note, I kinda miss Mariah doing a bridge. I know that her style is 2nd chorus then Hurricane Katrina/Haiyan mode (WBT/ISIL) and i think that vocal styling is something she did originally or popularized(correct me if im wrong). Also i think she really pushed the boundaries during chorus wherein she harmonizes(heartbreaker/fantasy). She's the only artist i hear who does these things consistently, and i think that is refreshing and original of her. But I wanna listen to her with basic musical arrangement in her future work and frankly that i think was missing with #beautiful.Joshy Senseinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-85805625141033268502014-05-24T12:07:57.909+01:002014-05-24T12:07:57.909+01:00i find it beyond awkward seeing her in AI when she...i find it beyond awkward seeing her in AI when she judged for Xfactor.........Joshy Senseinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-37215987436064538812014-05-24T04:15:34.139+01:002014-05-24T04:15:34.139+01:00I'm not a big Ariana fan, there's somethin...I'm not a big Ariana fan, there's something about her that I don't like.<br />Anyways, I think people are being way too harsh on her.
