At least it’s not Rihanna Trent!

the majority of mariah’s songs are simple vocals, she only has a few power ballads

Trent, clearly you’re on your period. Kelly’s gonna do great. Mariah was a big fan of Stole, so she respects her. I hope Kelly performs Vanishing

Kelly is great vocalist! And btw why Xtina should pay tribute to Mariah :S you shi*ted so many times over Xtina, and now you wanna Xtina to pay her tribute… Xtina never would do that!

I think Kelly will surprise you & do a decent job BUT is she the ONLY performer?? Leona Lewis isn’t busy!! Ledisi would do a great job too & I was sure that Marsha A. would be apart also. Hmm.. This shall be interesting.

I’ve always seen Kelly shine singing higher notes. It’s that lower register I can’t deal with. Either way, may Jesus be one of those T-Pain autotune mics in our time of need.

This should be interesting. Kelly Rowland though. ok

Once again, another post dedicated to Mariah Carey. This site is just a biased piece of trash.

I don’t care about Kelly Rowland at all but we all know they like each other so I’m not surprised at all.
I don’t hate the idea. Rowland may not have an outstanding vocal range but she could give us a pleasant surprise. Touch my body or Obsessed aren’t that difficult so why not? Kelly better pay homage!!

You know the fuck what….

Trent, I just can not with you tonight ROFL, you are too much!

ugh are you serious? that basic bitch is a snore fest! sumbody tell is this is a joke

kelly is not a good live singer but she may surprise. if all fails, pattie labelle will probably be the other singer to tribute mariah.

its not like you need a jennifer hudson to sing
vision of love
make it happen
hero
we belong together
shake it off, or about 85% of the rest of her biggest hits

What the hell? That is absolutely ridiculous. Why do they keep getting “little shot” singers to do tributes to the “big shots”???

Mariah is the greatest female technical singer. Kelly is good, but even the simple Mariah songs carry some range, “Obsessed” has alot more range than Whitney last two songs that were mentioned.

LOOOOL “What in the name of Prue, Piper, Phoebe and Paige is happening in that BET building?!” Nah but for real what is goin on? I was hoping i misread Kelly Rowland for Kelly Price!!!! I am not here for Kelly’s breathless half arsed performances especially not when it comes to the Queen. Laard they better have someone better lined up, sorry nothin against Kelly or anything but NO!

I’ve scheduled a brain MRI scan for you tomorrow morning. Ensure that you attend the appointment as this seems quite serious.

Seriously though, that’s very VERY ignorant. I hope you were being sarcastic.

Regarding Kelly Rowland… I think there are very few songs she’ll be able to manage. I like her but for a Mariah tribute?
Thinking of other people trying to sing Mariah’s songs really puts everything into perspective though. Wow. There is truly only one Mariah.

Mariah hand picked Kelly so she could get a ki for the night… she wants to be entertained. LOL

I love when folks make it seem like songs like obsessed and the like require so much vocal training, get out of here. Singers don’t sing Mariah at talent shows because most of her songs DON’T showcase powerful vocals, now u want to turn vision of love in a power ballad, smh

“Mariah hand picked Kelly so she could get a ki for the night… she wants to be entertained. LOL”
omg lol xD that is so mean… MDJ says she’s gonna sing a signature/classic Mariah song (so it has to be one of Mariah’s most popular songs that most everyone recognizes Mariah for.) Mariah’s TOP 8 most POPULAR/SIGNATURE songs are:
1. Vision of Love (I don’t think Kelly has a chance with this)
2. All I Want For Christmas Is You (well, Christmas was last year)
3. Hero (ugh…it better not be this bc ive had it with these artists butchering this particular song)
4. Without You (umm…most definitely not)
5. We Belong Together (not a chance)
6. Fantasy (umm…dunno about this)
7. Anytime You Need A Friend (Leona will most definitely tackle this one, and I pray to God she’ll do this song justice if she pays tribute to Mariah along with Kelly)
8. Honey – probably not appropriate for this event

“Oh yes, Mariah’s songs aren’t that hard to sing therefore aspiring singers avoid them” **rolls eyes**
LOL, some people are just…. funny.

Even people who don’t consider themselves Lambs know that Mariah’s catalogue is extensive and goes beyond Obsessed, Touch My Body, and songs of that particular nature. Mariah is a legend and has more albums than just Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel, E=mc2 and Emancipation of Mimi. Youtube is a gift for those that don’t know that.

Mariah’s personality is totally shining through with this choice. Mariah has always been out of the box in life but this is the ultimate. I like Kelly and all but she’s not who I was expecting so I’m slightly disappointed. I could deal with Kelly doing it only if there’s other people in the tribute also. I hope that she has it together enough to give a great performance because lately, she has not.

kelly can sing, she can hit those high notes, not as high but higher then bey. i think she’ll do good, lets hope. lol

The only thing Kelly can handle is the humming on “Love Takes Time”…nothing more nothing less

and then a i don’t understand what kelly performance have you seen , because kelly almost never use lypsyinc , mybe sometime but she must also DANCE in her performance!!

Mariah is a Goddess. Why the actual fuck would they choose Kelly Rowland? Why? She is going to fuck it up. Please, Get Christina and Leona. They not doing shit, but recording. They would be pleased to do it.

Raise the bar high! Give her Vision of Love!

I applaud Mariah for not choosing expected choices like XTina or Jordin Sparks. & it’s not “Sing Just Like Mariah” show. Damn just let Kelly be & see how it turns out instead of expectin it to be a mess. She can change the key to.a fitting octave. Luther did when he honored Whitney. & Mariah has tons of songs any artist can do. She requested her so whether we like it or not its done. So either watch it or dont. U just might be surprised.

WELL MARIAH CAN’T EVEN SING LIVE ANYMORE— SO KELLY ROWLAND WILL PROBABLY DO A BETTER JOB THAN THE NEW MARIAH

So how did Kelly do?
