Why fans think Mariah Carey isn't singing on her comeback track... amid claims she's been replaced with AI
Mariah Carey has been caught up in another wild conspiracy theory just weeks after fans believed that she'd been replaced by AI. The diva, 56, returned to the music scene with a new rap single this week called Type Dangerous, but a lot of fans have pointed out that Mimi sounds different compared to before. 'Is it just me or it doesn't sound like Mariah at all,' asked one confused listener. 'Is it just me or does Mariah's new song sound like a JLo song? Also… she sounds nothing like herself, the overproduction is weird. Doesn't sound like her even a little,' wrote another. A third wrote, 'Now who is singing bc that doesn't sound like Mariah.' Another added, 'What's strange about this new Mariah song is I saw her live a year and a half ago and she can very much still sing live. Why on earth did they add whatever this is on top of her voice? It doesn't even sound like her.' However, other fans argued that the talented vocalist was just using a different style of singing. 'Just listened to Mariah Carey's new song. She used her voice in a different way than we're used to, but the song is nice! I like it,' wrote one. Another explained, 'She's just using her lower voice and experimenting. She's always doing something new and original.' It comes after Mariah left some of her Australian fans confused after appearing disinterested as she sat down for an interview with The Project. The pop diva gave a series of short answers, sometimes uttering single word reposes in a bored monotone while speaking with host Georgie Tunny. When asked how she handles criticism, Mariah replied simply: 'By not coping is what I do.' After a pause she continued: 'I mean, just don't pay attention to it, you know? And everybody else goes through it, so... whatever.' The 56-year-old was also asked what she'd like on her tour rider for her upcoming Aussie tour, to which Mariah oddly replied in deadpan: 'A kangaroo.' Mariah was likewise asked about her notorious love of good lighting, to which she said dismissively: 'Good lighting is everything. I don't know why people even have rooms that are poorly lit.' The interview plodded along at painful length, with some viewers branding it 'bizarre' and some even asking if the clip was AI. 'Was that an AI version of MC? That poor lady. I feel sorry for you. You did your best. She hasn't been called a DIVA for no reason... Maybe in the shadow sooner then she likes' wrote one person. 'Sure she wasn't an AI version of Carey? Weird smile, no eye contact. Bot for sure' someone else asked. 'That was the most bizarre interview!!' yet another chimed in. Despite the controversy, Mariah is currently preparing to release her 16th studio album. According to Forbes, the songstress, who has 19 number one singles, is aiming to get her 20th chart topper with Type Dangerous. 'She's fighting to stay contemporary,' her longtime producer LA Reid told the publication. Mariah left her label Epic Records, who released her last album Caution, to partner with new music company Gamma for her comeback.

Russian-born Daria Kasatkina has a special message for Australian supporters after French Open exit
FRANCE: Russian-born Daria Kasatkina's run at the French Open ended after her loss against Mirra Andreeva, with a final scoreline of 6-3, 7-5. However, the athlete admitted that she felt the deep support of Australian fans during her first Grand Slam event under the country's flag. The athlete recently received her Australian permanent residency and changed her allegiance to play under Australia. She had hoped to be the first Australian woman to reach the French Open quarterfinals since Ash Barty in 2019. Despite exiting the tournament, the 28-year-old declared that she was proud to be the 'last Aussie standing.' Filled with so much support, Kasatkina expressed: 'It's been a good start… First of all, it's been a good result, but also, I felt super good to step on the court as an Australian player.' She added: 'To feel the support from the stands so many times. I don't know if everyone who was screaming, 'Aussie,' were from Australia, but I felt this support. Also, on social media, I'm getting a lot of support from the Australians that they are so happy to welcome me, and they're happy for me.' 'So this is the kind of support which I honestly didn't have before, it feels like it's something new to me—but it feels so nice.' Highlights of the match At the beginning of the match, Kasatkina had rallied with her opponent using her impressive defence and powerful shots. By the second set, Kasatkina looked like she was out of the match. However, she showed her resilience and chased down tough shots. She also won a 26-shot rally. Moreover, she had the opportunity to take the set with a set point at 5-4, but Andreeva saved it with a strong forehand. From there, Andreeva took control of the match. Andreeva broke serve and won the match on her second match point, when Kasatkina hit a forehand out. With Andreeva's win, she has reached the quarterfinals without losing a set. She became the youngest woman in this century to make it to the last eight in two consecutive years–the last was Martina Hingis in 1998.

I feel like she's taller and taller every single week, her serve's improving all the time, and her movement is very good.'

Netizens commented on the said post and remarked: '🔥 little princess of the WTA,' 'Mirra my new favourite 🙌 let's go,' 'Future world No 1,' and 'Go Mirraaaaa!!!!! ✌🎾💕✌.'
