Mariah's Passes the Torch on New Year's Eve

| 310 Comments

Mariah Carey floated into New York City to perform in Times Square w/ Dick Clark and Ryan Seacrest on the 34th Annual Rockin' New Year's Eve special. If you missed the first ever live concert watch it here...

Ole girl proved she was big in '05. It was the perfect way to pass the torch to Mary J. Blige, Whitney Houston, Janet Jackson and Beyonce all of who either have new releases happening in the next few months or have just released an album.

Word on the street is that Blackground/Universal is repackaging Toni Braxton's last misguided album, Libra, with 4 new songs and a bigger budget to promote the six time Grammy Award winning artist. If Mariah's reign is an indication that the divas of the early 90's have returned then Toni might actually have a chance.

The SoulMan says uh... yea right!

I don't know about Mariah, but seeing and hearing Dick Clarke like that was sad. I don't know if it was his ego or what but that was some of the most "uncomfortable" shit I've ever witnessed on live TV.

Everyone of these females can hold their own, I wish all of them the best in their careers, but if you want to cop some good sounds pick up that Toni Braxton cd, I have never waste money buying anything that girl puts out.

I used to love me some toni braxton,now i dont like her i know it sounds mean but i just dont like her new image its triflin and she looks ridicilous.No 38 year old woman,mother of 2 kids should be walking around with dresses that dont even come below the hip,shorts all in the crack of her ass,tities popping out its just nasty.Thieres other ways to look sexy without showing every dam thing.Keep that shit to yourself,Just goes to show she's trying to sell sex and i hate it.PLEASE BRING THE OLD TONI BACK!Mary j blige is gonna be the "it" of this year watch what i tell ya her album is banging i luv the whole album skip NO songs.

I really hope this is true.

Blackground really should've pushed her album more, because just TV appearances (she's done a lot more this time than her previous) aren't gonna help her sell records alone. She needs more radio and video spins.

"Please" was a nice intro, a little like Mariah's "It's Like That", while Toni's second single "Trippin (That's The Way Love Works)" should've been her BIG hit off this album. It's an excellent album, one of the best R&B albums of 2005.

Congrats to Toni, though, for the nice performance on today's Rose Parade, as well as last week's 96% sales increase for "Libra".

Mariah had some major elastic holding her dress together. I'm suprised she was even able to sing let alone breathe. Dick clark hold your head up. He and regis are the ultimate hustlers. Them dudes been pimping the same events for decades.

Mariah is too damn thick for the clothes and she looks like a fool..obviously things haven't changed in her camp cuz somebody is too scared to tell her the truth. Toni is cool when she is not trying to overdue it. she's competing and looking desperate when she's around other artist(remember the dedication to gladys knight w/her and Faith on BET?)trippin is a hot song, but i agree both of these powervoices need to stop competing w/the young ones. they already have an established fan base..you grown and sexy..ACT like it..tricks are for kids

I definately agree that Toni's style of dress is a bit inappropriate, she don't need to do that, her talent speaks for her.

I think the problem is the older divas i.e. Toni, Mariah, Janet, and sometimes Mary feel like they have to keep up with the younger divas or keep up with the everchanging landscape of R&B. In some coming years, Beyonce and who's ever around will have the same problem. Beyonce is the "it girl of R&B" right now, but eventually someone else will take her place. It's like now everyone is compared to or made to look like Beyonce. Before Bee everyone who came out looked like or was compared to Mary J. (Amerie, Sharissa, Faith, Jaguar, etc.)

Toni's the most talented diva at the moment......she has got the best style of dress,if you want to dis anyone dis Marish,she needs to SACk her stylist
LIBRA is holding down 2005 !

mariah looks too thick?? she looks great as hell. especially for her age. and NONE of the new female r&b acts can touch that voice. Most women hate mariah. and come on, dick clark. i could barely understand the man. maybe we should just remember him as the new years guy of the 20th century.

The difference in MAriah and toni braxton or whitney is.MAriah has the complexion for perfection and they dont.

I sooooo agree!!! Mariah has that crossover complexion... I love me some Toni, and after seeing her in person this summer, I have an even greater appreciation for her. She looked sooo good and sounded great. Her body is tight, make-up is flawless, and you can feel that she is actaully happy...even with a "misguided" album. She has been adding more and more clothes to her wardrobe, while maintaining her sexiness. I hope that they do repackage Libra, and give it the promotion that it desearves. It is truly one of the best Albums she has had since the Heat!!! Age aint nothing but a number...

Toni Braxton's album is excellent! I just hope that her record label realizes this before the album run its course. I hope that the album is re-released with the (4) additional cuts, because the (10) on it now is banging. Blackground needs to release another video and have her perform on OPRAH. ORPAH IS THE KEY!!! WAKE OF BLACKGROUND RECORDS!!!

Mariah Carey is not too thick! She's 38 years old now and looks amazing! I do agree that sometimes she does a bit too much with her outfits but unlike Toni Braxton, Mariah Carey can get away with that because of her amazing voice and bangin songs! Don't get me wrong, Toni can sang also but not as good as Mariah. I also don't know why Toni is trying to be this sexy R&B singer who's trying to prove that she can keep up with these young girls! Get a grip.
She should be like Mary and sell her voice, pain, and life experiences. That's what Toni is recognized for. She's trying too damn hard. I'm disappointed when I see her tities and ass hangin out in videos and her trying to be all sexual. Her dresses are either too short or don't have enough material to cover everything. It's so disturbing to look at.
Be proud to say that since you're a grown woman, you know better than that and can wear dresses and outfits that flatter your figure. The same thing is going on with Janet. These females are so intimidated by Beyonce...what a damn shame. Since Beyonce got famous 2 quick and is known as a grown women, I say that her music career will slow down in 3 years. By that time someone young, fresh, and new will be this sexy diva. That's crazy how that happens. Madonna, Janet, Jlo...

I still got major love for Toni and Mariah. They both great singers (Mariah got a better voice though), and despite what some might say, they BOTH still fine.

mariah is not 38, she 35 (march 27, 1970)

Mariah, You are so amazing don't worry about negitive things people say about you, there just trying to put you down. you can do anything you want to do luv ya

P.s. you rock dont ever change I'll always be in your coner backing you up

I love Mariah Carey so much I wish I seen her in person. I seen every movie she was in and watch them 5 times a week. I have all kinds of posters of her on my walls. i have every cd she has.

My life's been basically dull these days.
I haven't gotten much done these days.
Today was a complete loss.

More or less nothing seems worth doing, but oh well.
I just don't have anything to say now.
