Mariah Carey Without Auto Tune
- Mariah Carey's tardiness forced NBC to cancel her live performance Tuesday night
- Carey then sang live during Wednesday's broadcast of the Rockefeller tree lighting
- Many observers criticized her performance
- Aug 24, 2017 Mariah Carey is renown for tapping rappers for her own songs, but this time she's switching things up, as her guest stint on French Montana's hit Billboard Hot.
- Jul 09, 2014 A Recording Of Britney Spears Singing Without Auto-Tune Has Leaked Online. Would be any better if Brit sounded like Mariah Carey. It’s perfect despite her imperfect voice, which you can now.
- 'Obsessed' is a song by American singer Mariah Carey from her twelfth studio album, Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel (2009). The song was written and produced by Carey, Terius 'The-Dream' Nash and Christopher 'Tricky' Stewart, and was released as the album's lead single on June 16, 2009, by Island Records.
American singer-songwriter Mariah Carey has released seventy-five official singles, eighteen promotional singles, and has made five guest appearances.Carey's self-titled debut album in 1990 yielded four number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100, the first being 'Vision of Love', a song credited with revolutionizing the usage of distinguished vocal stylings, predominantly the practice of.
(CNN) -- Mariah Carey is known for her five-octave voice, her slinky dresses and her many hits, including 'All I Want for Christmas is You.'
Unfortunately, she is also known for her tardiness. And her behavior this week at the Rockefeller Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony in New York won't do anything to help that reputation.
Because of her history, NBC decided to tape Carey singing her holiday classic before a live audience Tuesday night, then air it Wednesday for the network's coverage of the 82nd annual Rockefeller Center tree lighting.
But the self-titled Queen of Christmas kept the audience waiting for three hours Tuesday before NBC made the decision to cancel the performance. According to TMZ, Carey was delayed because she was meeting with her lawyer about her divorce settlement with husband Nick Cannon.
Carey took to Twitter to apologize for failing to show up.
Last night's situation was beyond my control. I apologize to all that showed up, you know that I would never want to disappoint you.

'#Mariah Carey was nicknamed 'Mirage' in high school because she never showed up for class.'
— Taiwo Ademiju Joseph (@aredey_love) December 4, 2014Her no-show forced NBC to air Carey singing 'All I Want for Christmas is You' live during its broadcast of the tree-lighting Wednesday night.
The diva was on time, but many observers are saying her performance was less than stellar. Decked out in a tight red gown before a backdrop of costumed children, Carey seemed winded and had trouble hitting some of her trademark high notes.
A clip of Carey's raw microphone feed, without backing instrumentation, also was leaked to YouTube -- and probably did not do her any favors.
Twitter lit up during and after, with most of the tweets admonishing the singer for a lackluster performance.

— Andrew Cutini (@andreweee) December 4, 2014Still, some fans rallied to her side.
'So, was #mariahcarey 's Rockefeller performance perfect? No. Was it good? Yes! Do you know how cold it is out there???' said one.
I'n not a Mariah Carey fan, but I think she did just fine. Furthermore, I don't think she cares what any of us think lol. #MariahCarey

The only song she used autotune on was. And that was for effect! Watch her Fallon performance.
Underrated and overhated by critics and fans. She can sing really well live (her solo X-factor audition got 4 yes-es). Even if she tries a bit too hard with the emotion and high notes, she's still a good singer.
12BeyoncéBeyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter, is an American singer and actress, who started out in the popular pop/r&b girl group Destiny's Child.

Overrated? Yes.
Incredibly talented without relying on an army of songwriters, choreographers, costume designers, production managers, PR agents, and auto-tune technicians? No.
Um she is amazing. She is inspiring and she has amazing vocals. She doesn't need autotune. - Jass1
Her voice isn't anything too amazing or groundbreaking with it or without it to be honest. Her annunciation is horrible, her high notes are shrill and annoying and she sounds (and looks) like a little girl. She's just a Mariah Carey wannabe anyway.
Ariana grande sucks - RnBLover
Her angelic voice does not need any support, she still great without using autotune. - DaisyandRosalina

She has a fantastic voice.
She doesn't use it on her voice, but rather uses it on background effects that use her voice.
Hate her music all you want, that girl sounds amazing live w/o autotune. Like all artists, she might use it for the effect and to perfect her recordings. She's only 17 and has amazing control of her voice.
I hate him so much. way too much autotune
Yeah.. no.
She can't sing with or without auto-tune, she's just a bad singer. Just listen to her covering Hero by Mariah Carey and you'll know. She may have improved over the years but she is still not very good and doesn't deserve her fame. It's an insult to actual talented singers to call rihanna a good singer. You can like her catchy pop songs, but a good singer she is not. - RnBLover
Underrated by critics and fans, she can sing some songs nearly like the original, in others she put emotions in. She is lazy but she can sing. - DaisyandRosalina
Rihanna can't sing and auto-tune is her best friend. - DaWyteNight
Look..I love Riri and her pop music but she honestly could use some auto-tune from time to time. Have you heard her song 'Higher? ' Two words..no Bueno.
I don't know who added her, if they did it as a joke or were being serious but from someone who has heard her live I can tell you that she could use auto-tune. She makes amazing pop music though, all her albums are pop perfection.
His singing really isn't anything too special, most people can sing like he can. He's no Usher or anything. - DaWyteNight
He can sing without auto tune.. He is decent singer - Nandani
Trash

I'm dead serious, watch her sing Same Old Love live on Ellen. it is GOOD. I'M NOT ON DRUGS, Then you can whine to me about how she 'can't sing.' Because then you'll be wrong. She has improved A LOT. A LOT. She even lowered the autotune in Same Old Love.
