If the fans that paid for the tickets and merchandise aren't complaining then why are you griping about it? It is not your money. She must be doing something right if she sells out venues despite the BS.

I agree, especially when some people on this board were recently complaining about how Taylor Swift is screwing her fans over by releasing multiple vinyls with different songs on them. They need to keep up that same energy with Mariah. I rather spend an extra $100 bucks out of pocket for a couple new songs (I agree it's outrageous, I'm just making a point), then spend thousands of dollars (tickets, plus air fair, plus hotels), to see Mariah press play on tape player and lip sync to new vocals.
I know that touring is where money is made, but if she has time to record all of these pre-recorded songs, she has enough time to drop a new album. Especially since her new vocals sound really good and healthy. Or she should do strip down versions of some songs (like the promo clips she posted).
I would not even be mad if half of the songs were live and the other half lipped, but come on, no one (especially in this economy) can say that it is reasonable and appropriate to sing for 2 minutes in a 2 hour long show.
One positive note is that her vocals are sounding good again.

Billboard Hot 100 (105,319)

I did not realize that Ariana's "Yes, And?" went to number for a week. I mean, I used to visit the chart every week, especially the late 90's and 2000's. And every Christmas season since AIWFCIY went to No.1. Other than those times, not so often. The truth is, I miss seeing Mariah in the chart, not only during Christmas. I know her prime years are behind us, and it will take a miracle to see her again on top. However, I still believe it is not impossible. Thus, I hope her next release (if there is truly one) will do that for her like another TEOM moment. Well, we can only hope for nowadays, and there's nothing wrong with staying positive.

Article: Mariah Carey visits the White House (104,611)

Polls are conducted with people using landlines, which favors older conservatives. In the US elections this year, conservatives got beaten soundly, especially the ones Trump endorsed. This is a MC site. If the kids and their parents aren't complaining about her leotards, then why are you complaining?

How a person can, simultaneously, be so right and so wrong.
If you read any polls and political commentary that isn't Far Left you would understand that Trump is far and wide likely to become the Republican nominee in 2024 and 47 in 2025, if Biden is his opponent. But the answer is Trump. Well done.
And you got the concert right. But the name wrong. Again. The concert is known as St. John the Divine. Is "Harlem" the new "fetch", I wonder? It ain't gonna happen.
Sorry you go home empty handed. But have you had a nice day out?

I hear from a lot of my co-workers and friends that they have grown tired of AIWFCIY this year. When I am out and about in the stores, I am hear other artists' versions of AIWFCIY. Maybe MC won't make it to number #1 this year and that is okay with me. I just want her to get back in the studio and get that album finished.

That's not boycott or illegal. You don't have to listen to those playlists. Most people have their own playlists anyway, and Spotify is not the only streaming platform. Brenda wasn't at the top of some of those playlists before. Was she being boycotted since AIWFCIY hit number one? I thought we had moved on from the paranoia lambs tend to have about some mega powerful entity coming for Mariah. AIWFIY and RATCT are the Christmas hits they are because millions of people love them and got them there. You can discount, you can gift, you can pray, you can throw a lambtrum, but all that won't make a song popular or hit if people don't like it.

Mariah vs Brenda (104,319)
by Lee from USA

The weird thing about this is that these folks don't care about Darlene in the first place. The woman worked with Cher this year, and still no difference in Billboard chart position. Love threw a tantrum and still got smoked in the charts. Brenda's song came out 36 years before AIWFCIY and has been around for 5-6 decades, and the label finally cares about it.

Mariah vs Brenda (104,318)
by Robert-Anthony from United States
| |
|

Thanks for the update, Edward. Seems like there is a considerable effort this year to keep MC from getting to number one or staying number one for multiple weeks this year. UMG is Brenda Lee's record label. They are really going all out this year with this huge promotional push to celebrate RATCT's 65th anniversary. But why now after 4 years of AIWFCIY being the number one Christmas song?
Well I think I know why. Some people in the music and television industry are tired of hearing MC being called the queen of Christmas. It started when MC wanted to trademark the Queen Of Christmas last year. She angered Darlene Love and Elizabeth Chan. Many in the music and television industry were angered by MC's trademark move as well. So, I feel this is their payback for MC attempting to take the queen of Christmas all for herself and from sweet Darlene Love. Everyone already feels sorrow for her how Phil Spector used her voice and she never was publicly credited on a lot the songs she did for him. Phil Spector controlled her early career and was content to leave her uncredited on the songs he did for him.
Do you think that I have hit on something?

Mariah, please be ready (104,008)
by Andrew from the UK

I don't know how much money Mariah makes from royalties each year but it's surely got to be around the US$50m mark? I can appreciate the "rug pulled from under you" theory - but it's so unlikely as to be an impossibility.
I cannot now see, at this age, and with the experience she has, why Mariah cannot lower the keys of the songs, sing them, and move around the stage once more. Madonna is ten years older than Mariah, recently got out of hospital, clearly still has an injury to her leg, and still is still delivering a reasonable energised and effective show (although there's a lot of criticism of a different nature that can be levelled at that artist).
I have always said that I think Mariah's weight, and ever expanding breasts, have negatively impacted her movement and her singing - if she cared about her fans she would do something about it. She would lower the keys of her songs, put on a pair of pants, move about the stage again and have actual fun rather than looking like a (rein)deer in headlights. And we would have a lot more fun with it.
For the love of all that is holy, Mariah: go back to the way you were.

MC doesn't have that energy like she had before Memoirs. Her total artist package diminished after E=MC2. After Memoirs, MC became dillushioned with the music industry. Every album after 2008 failed to reach the masses. Every single tanked at on charts. Her vocal ability was being questioned by everyone. The focused and driven MC checked out years ago.

MC was having vocal issues long before 2020. I don't think her vocal difficulties are because of Covid-19. She should just sit down with Oprah for a tell all Oprah special. She is not fooling the Lambs or the general public anymore. Will she tell us what is going on with her voice? At the end of the day, she owes her loyal fans a great live performance without lip syncing.

Why do you think that MC is disliked by so many female artists? Could it be the Tommy Motolla effect? How many other female artists have had so enormous push and financial investment from their label like MC had? None that I can think of. From 1990-1999, there were no other female artists bigger than MC and other female singers disliked MC during that time for it. Once the Tommy Mottolla effect wavered, MC's popularity decreased and the haters started speaking. To be honest, Tommy, MC and Sony did make a mighty team during her popularity and chart reign. Taylor Swift would have never had the same chart success like MC did in 90s. And Chaka is just mad because of what she could never achieve as a solo artist like MC did.

MC just does not work with a multitude of fresh and innovative producers and songwriters exclusively. She should take Chris Brown's and Harry Styles' approach to choosing songwriters and producers - collaborate with young and upcoming songwriters and producers who are really good at giving an artist a unique new sound. Harry Styles' As It Was is a brilliant masterpiece that stays in your head all day. Brezzy has had hit after hit on the radio because of who he collaborates with. With MC's impressive songwriting skills and a fresh sound, the Grammys would take notice again. Hopefully, MC is taking notes this year to step out of her comfort zone.

Okay, I'm just going to say it: I'm a salty beep who will die mad at the Grammy's. I know this topic has been discussed as nauseum, but there's just no way it can only be 5 wins for her. I don't believe she deserves all the awards, but she should certainly be lauded far more than she has been. Her pen game, production, vocal arrangements, and vocals were superb in her prime. I'm mad and saddened that her artistry has been dismissed and overlooked for so long. And, no - I'm not congratulating beepin nobody (quadruple italic and underlined exclamation marks.)

I agree. Mariah needs a dose of reality.
Tommy wasn't good for her personal life, but his influence was really good for her professionally. She was much more disciplined and focused, and she kept herself in better shape physically and vocally. Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if they had never gotten married but kept their relationship strictly professional.

So what we can really expect is a heavily edited CBS Merry Christmas To All broadcast with the original album tracks. It is going to be interesting on the 20th. MC totally can not sing anymore. It is sad to admit it. The honey butterfly vocals are no more. I don't think even removing her vocal nodules can repair her voice. I wonder what Patti and Stephanie Mills have done after all of these years to preserve their voices.
