Thoughts?

Honestly… *deep sigh*… I mean, I don’t think anyone should even *try* to do a rendition of any Mariah songs. But since it has to be done, I’d say Christina Aguliera and…. ugh. Just no. I’ll be watching of course but seriously, I just hope they all make it their own and no one tries it with those high notes.

As she should be. She’s very deserving. Hopefully, BET gets some real vocalists to tribute her because I am not here for them giving her an half-as*ed tribute. I believe Leona and Christina Aguilera (if she holds off on the screaming) are the best choices for the tribute but knowing BET, they’ll pick some random, unnecessary people.

Incredible shes desrvesssssssssssss it. She been did though………..

Christina Aguilera stopped being a Mariah enthusiast years ago. They don’t like one another. Besides, if Christina did the tribute, it would overshadow Mariah the diva…and she will have NONE of that. LOL

Christina, Leona and Melanie Amaro.

P.S: I want Rihanna to sing Heartbreaker.

Rihanna can do Hero again.

Im curious to know what the song selection will be. Clearly everybody cant sing like the Great Mariah, so whoever is on the roster to perform better be wise of the song they sing. “Emotions” & “Cant Let Go” are my favs but of course only Mariah can sing those!

YESSS! Finally, i am absolutely shocked though that Alicia Keys and Mary J Blige were honoured before Mariah though but whatever, there is only one queen. Leona Lewis came to my mind first but they seriously need some gospel singers up in there cos I aint tryna here none of these pop acts attempt a Mariah song. Kelly Price needs to be involved too, she sung with Mariah for years as a backing vocalist and I believe she could do her justice.

BET better have some real sangers or provide mariah with some sunglasses because she is a side eye queen.

Leona Lewis could never cover “Anytime you need a friend”, vocal I don’t think she is up to it with out “softening” up the song.

I’d love to see

Carole King cover “If it’s Over”
Patti Cover cover “Vision of Love” (You gotta admit it would be interesting)
Kelly Price cover “Forever”
Boys to Men cover “We Belong Together”

BET better come up with a worthy line up for the Queen. I’m sooooo looking forward to seeing this. Mariah FINALLY being recognized by the african-american community is just awesome and well-deserved. Yesssssssss

Its would be great to have Eric Benet, Maxwell and ledisi to cover a couple of Mariah songs. I agree about Christina and Whitney but I know those relationships are quite touchy.

Let’s just hope Mariah doesn’t perform, her REAL voice is a mess nowadays and we don’t need her lipsynching…again!

YASS!! LAWD!!

The Empress is finally to receive what she has long been so unjustly denied!

And I am in LOVE with that picture!

Performers? The Queen B, J Hud, Leona Lewis, the legendary Miss Patti…

Leona can sing but her tone is up in the air. Christina wouldn’t out do a thing. Christina still lovez Mariah. It isn’t as terrible as some would like to make it. Mariah’s voice has sounded amazing in her last few performances to the person thats trying to be slick. Jordin Sparks,Patti labelle, BoysllMen and some real singers would be amazing.

I’d love to hear Mary J. Blige belting out a Mariah song. Beyoncé would be great, too but isn’t she going to give birth around that time? Alicia Keys would be cool, too.

It would be interesting to hear JoJo sing a Mariah Carey song. She is so slept on.

Beyonce would have been great. Jordon Sparks, Christina A.,J.Hud,Patti,Jojo…

JayZ, Rihanna, Beyonce would never pay tribute on a show like this, it is too low hyped for such major stars as they are now. And Mariah songs are not that hard to sing, they only seem difficult because of all the dubbing and extra background vocals she uses

I think we’ve all agreed who should perform: Beyonce (Vision of Love), Kelly Price, Melanie Amaro/Patti Labelle (Hero), Kelly Clarkson/Mary J. Blige (Love Takes Time)… BUT, WHENEVER YOU CALL (butterfly era) HAS to be performed because it’s appropriate in this event!!
