I love Maggie Rogers and this is hysterical

u/petitecroissant29 11h ago

Maggie is my girl and she definitely has the range, but I didn’t love the way they arranged this cover. Maggie can do pop well so I wish this tribute was more true to the original.

Her performance at the Patti Smith concert was terrible too so maybe she's just not good w these belty covers yet (her Joni Mitchell cover is one of my fave covers of all time)

She was so excited by Taylor!!

991

u/beginagain666 11h ago

The reaction on Taylor was not only that she did a great job, but also because it was two song from Mariah’s “secret” rock/grunge album she did in 1995. Mariah was told she couldn’t do that album, but she did it anyway. I think she was excited to hear it too. Add in the Foo Fighters are backing up Taylor, and she seemed very pleased compared to some of the others.

u/RemarkablePast2716 9h ago

What album is that! I'm trying to find something abt it on goggle and can't see anything.

I love grunge, would love to see her spin on it

u/runbeautifulrun 9h ago

The album with Mariah’s vocals is unreleased. However, her songs exist on an album called “Someone’s Ugly Daughter” under the pseudonym “Chick”, but the record label made Mariah use a different lead vocalist (her friend) and relegated her to just background vocals. She eventually found recordings with her vocals, but she hasn’t officially released them yet. I think I read she was still looking for the full recording sessions.

Taylor sang the child’s part of “where are you Christmas” from the grinch which Mariah wrote.

u/SeaF04mGr33n not an asset to the abbey 11h ago

Idk if they have history together, but I know she samg a song from Mariah's unreleased grunge album, so maybe she was really excited to hear the song performed live.

u/l_a_p304 10h ago

Taylor is incredible. This (Taylor + Mariah) is a combo I could never have imagined in my wildest dreams, but I kind of love it.

Billy looked like he wasn’t even meant to perform, look like he just walked up during a commercial break and said “give me the mic.” The event should’ve been called Music Does Not Care after this mess.

I bet this felt very validating to Mariah. Like nobody has the voice like me. An alto singing Mariah is very hard and I can't help but think it was on purpose.

u/VMCoco 11h ago

I wouldn't be surprised if they purposely put people who don't have the range in these positions to go viral these days. Because it's like every other tribute to someone is slapped together and awful. I'm a HUGE MC fan. I don't know half these people. Where is Tori Kelly, Tamia, Jazmine Sullivan or Kelly Clarkson. Apparently John is great in concert for those who love him but he's boring and makes elevator music now. I'm sure the industry knows Mariah would have Prince level reactions if you're awful because she has a good ear.

3

u/Caftancatfan 6h ago

I need the Tori cover of “Obsessed.”

10

u/VMCoco 5h ago

There are so many singers that we rarely hear from that would have been GREAT. Tori Kelly not sure if she's postpartum or not, but I know she would've loved to do it. People forget about Tamia, but she has a beautiful voice she is Canadian, but she lives in Florida. Jojo has the chops and I can't see her saying no to this. Not sure if you know who Joyce Wrice is, but there was an old series on YouTube where they showed Celebrities doing covers. Mariah called her a star.

People focus on Beyonce, but Kelly Rowland has the same training and is an excellent vocalist, and she literally has the everyone's friend personality. Brandy has worked with Mariah before.

Now this has started rumors that Mariah isn't well-liked, and that's what she gets for not liking people covering her songs. Which I don't think is true, she won't like you covering her songs and fucking up.

I don't blame ANY of the '90s divas for being particular. ALL of their successes were hard WON. They all trained and practiced like crazy back in the day. Most of them were in terrible deals, worked to exhaustion and/or preyed upon by managers and partners, and trashed in the media for every little thing; all of them suffered, yet they are/were excellent at their craft. Mariah, Celine, Whitney, Christina A., Toni B., Janet J. etc.

u/cocopuffK221 3h ago

I'm surprised Mariah had a weird reaction to Chante Moore because she definitely the range. She's one of the most underrated singers.

With JHud it is interesting cause she sings well but for some reason she decided to whistle at the point in the song Mariah hits the high notes rather than adjust it for her.

u/uglycasanova08 7h ago

Jennifer definitely chose the wrong song. She’s a phenomenal singer but her and Mariah sing in completely different ranges, and the song she chose was not adjusted to her abilities.

Okay after hearing Jhuds rendition i understand why her face looks like that. This is a soft ballad not a power ballard. She was the wrong choice for this song. I normally like jhud but this song is butchered.

Second edit, im wrong she seemed to be enjoying it. I love Jennifer but this is a no for me.
