Re: Happy new year (87,330) (87,350) by Colin from UK Happy birthday Anthony. Take it from an old man (ha) who has been there, life has been great when I hit 30 (plus quite a few). Wishing you every bit of health, happiness and success in 2019 and beyond. (Tuesday 1 January 2019; 01:14)

2018: the year of Mariah (87,349) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Can we just take a hot minute to realize and appreciate how awesome 2018 was to Mariah? Which goes to say that it has also been the best year to be a lamb in quite some time. We'll always be hoping that there are bigger things on the horizon, but let's just be cautious and say that this is probably as big a comeback we could expect from Mariah post-2010. This woman is pushing 50 and yet she: - managed to redeem herself from one of the biggest national televised flubs of all time by not shying away from the challenge of a redo and turning out a good performance - brought back fun, interactive Mariah: cute videos for Allure and Glamour, a fun cover art reveal for Caution, doing The Mariah Experience, and an overall upgrade on her social media game that says she isn't the relic many consider her just yet - stayed lucid, engaging, informative and has been less contrived in all of her interviews, revealing more about her creative process than she has ever had over the past decade - booked very good high-profile gigs where she mimed considerably less, looked less awkward and actually sang more - stepped up the visual aspect of her appearances, employing more elaborate choreography, vivid backdrops and more cohesive and sensible imagery - acknowledged the power and loyalty of her fans who successfully helped get justice for Glitter 17 years after its original release - pulled off a more focused album promotion and rollout strategy - came up with her best-reviewed album ever - once again hit new peaks and broke new records with her 24-year-old perennial hit and its parent album - somehow achieved something we thought was not possible: make herself likeable again - while doing all of the above, looked her best and rocked the best fashion she has worn since 2013 Knowing all of these, we could officially end the year as Mariah fans happier than we have ever had in years. May 2019 treat all of us even better. (Monday 31 December 2018; 23:19)

Mariah's "Christmas" climbs to No. 3 on Billboard (87,348) by Billy from Greece The woman is a legend. Happy new year. (Monday 31 December 2018; 22:58)

Re: AIWFCIY #3 in U.S. and MC top 10 (87,339) (87,347) by ktktkt from Philippines I have a feeling that this is going to be her #19th number 1 this year (could be around 4Q 2019). Lol. (Monday 31 December 2018; 22:51)

Re: Andrew gone (87,335) (87,346) by We are Lambily from USA You are 100% right, grinch only left because of all the great things happening. It’s one thing to give constructive criticism but another thing to be a negative person. Anyways let’s all celebrate Mariah hitting #3 and I couldn’t be more happier. PS: If I ever saw Mariah naked on the street, I would join her. (Monday 31 December 2018; 22:26)

Re: Christmas (87,329) (87,345) by Bill from the UK Ha that's so funny. Mara, if you do clam up please, for the sake of this board, at least try to tell her that Migrate should have been a single. (Monday 31 December 2018; 22:19)

AIWFCIY #3 (87,344) by Edward from USA AIWFCIY is maybe Mariah's last opportunity at hitting #1 again. If its run weren't that short every year, but we still many Christmas to try. It's amazing how Mariah is still creating and breaking records almost 30 years into her career. "My Heart Will Go On" and "I Will Always Love You" will be a distant memory in the minds of those who got to listen to it, but AIWFCIY will be in people's minds for centuries to come.

AIWFCIY (87,343) by jaker20 from US Next year should be fun when the Christmas tracking week period is longer. But she needs a unique promo to really push it all the way. Unique promo is the game right now. Not just another rendition. Some of the best and unique promos of AIWFCIY this decade: James Corden carpool karaoke; acapella with Jimmy Fallon and the Roots. (Monday 31 December 2018; 21:49)

Re: Andrew gone (87,340) (87,342) by B from USA He was negative for the sake of being negative. He didn't offer any opinions or views that were unique or original. Everyone here agreed that Mariah needed new management and new collaborators. No one here thinks everything Mariah does is the greatest thing since sliced bread. We all know that all that glitters is not gold. (Monday 31 December 2018; 21:31)

Re: Andrew gone (87,335) (87,341) by enwar00 from usa No. But I think had he bought 153 copies of it this year and given them out as Christmas gifts then it would have hit #1. What a grinch. (Monday 31 December 2018; 20:56)

Re: Andrew gone (87,335) (87,340) by Edward from USA I personally don't think so. Andrew made great points even though his delivery wasn't the best sometimes. As much as the "Tell Her" queens want to celebrate, this message-board won't ever be the same without Andrew. I think Mariah needs more honest people in her life, since the "Yasss Queen" people she had surrounded herself with didn't see anything negative about Stella. Mariah needs a few people like Andrew in her life, with a less aggressive delivery, of course. Many of the posters here would see Mariah walking naked on the street and tell her: "Queen, you look fabulous." (Monday 31 December 2018; 20:56)

AIWFCIY #3 in U.S. and MC top 10 (87,339) by enwar00 from usa A new peak here in the States. That's pretty festive. I miss Christmas already I'm not gonna lie, so I decided to watch the black and white video to listen to it. I feel like that video inspired Ariana's life. Also Merry Christmas jumped back into top 10 on the album charts for the first time since the Christmas it was released. Next year is the year it will top the charts, I wonder what Mariah and company will have up their sleeve. Aww now Wham is on, Last Christmas. I love you George Michael and I miss you.

2019 (87,338) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Happy New Year to the entire Archives family. Here is to a happy and productive New Year for us all. (Monday 31 December 2018; 20:16)

AIWFCIY hitting a new high (87,337) by darrian liu from taiwan I couldn't believe it. It defied my expectations of it not scratching the top 5. I did say it could hit top 5 at first, but seeing the chart predictions, they all predicted it would peak below the top 5. Turns out we didn't only get a top 5 peak, we got a top 3 peak. This is amazing. What a way to end the year. By the way, happy, happy new year to all of you. May all of you have another year of love, light, and happiness. (Monday 31 December 2018; 19:20)

Re: Walter (87,326) (87,336) by Bill from the UK I wish I paid more attention during my German lessons in school. (Monday 31 December 2018; 18:42)

Andrew gone (87,335) by T from USA Do you think there is a correlation between Mariah's amazing positive year and Andrew's decline in posting and subsequent departure? Mariah is flawless right now. (Monday 31 December 2018; 17:53)

Re: Best wishes (87,327) (87,334) by MusicfanJ from Germany Thanks Tijl. I wish the same for you and for the MCA family around the world. 2018 was one of the hardest years for me personally. So I look forward to 2019. And thanks to the webmaster. I really appreciate to come here and enjoy you all. (Monday 31 December 2018; 17:31)

Re: Walter (87,326) (87,333) by B from USA Christmas is over so Walter can go crawl back into whatever cave he crawled out of and we can focus on Mariah and Caution. (Monday 31 December 2018; 16:53)

Re: Caution 2019 (87,315) (87,332) by B from USA I believe a remix of A No No with or without Cardi will propell the album back up the charts. I hope Mariah and Epic also release Caution, 8th Grade, and Giving Me Life as singles. I'm still loving this album. (Monday 31 December 2018; 16:51)

Re: Walter (87,326) (87,331) by Licia from USA Thanks for posting but I couldn't really hear her answer. I heard that big no though. (Monday 31 December 2018; 15:58)

Happy new year (87,330) by anonymous from UK Wishing all lambs, fans and everyone else a happy new year, and sending sincerest good wishes for us all to have a hapy, healthy and successful 2019. Tomorrow (New Years Day) I turn 30 and I’d just like to say, thank you to Eric for this site which has been in my life since I was 13 years old, and to all the board members, old and new, for keeping this little party going. Onwards and forever upwards. (Monday 31 December 2018; 15:39)

Re: Christmas (87,325) (87,329) by anonymous from UK That's a great line, Bill, very appropriate. I remember exactly what I said to her. "Hey Mariah, the show was amazing. What do you think of the ensemble?" Yes, I actually said that. She told me "fabulous, dahhhhling" in that sexy drawl of hers and I walked out. I'd waited all my life to see her, and all I could ask Mariah Carey was whether she liked my outfit using a well known Mariahism. It's such a blur, if I didn't have a picture, I'd genuinely not believe it actually happened and just think it was a dream. (Monday 31 December 2018; 15:37)

Re: Walter (87,326) (87,328) by RibbonB from USA When she breaks, she breaks, she breaks. (Monday 31 December 2018; 14:28)

Best wishes (87,327) by Tijl from Belgium I would like to wish all the Lambs a lovely transition into the new year and all the best for 2019. (Monday 31 December 2018; 13:27)

Walter (87,326) by Billy from Greece Since his name has been discussed a lot lately, here's Mariah's take. (Monday 31 December 2018; 13:16)
