One Child fully live rehearsal (112,773) by Lambi from USA Mariah looks like it's 1997 again in this video, what a rare treat. It's so refreshing to see her actually take the singing seriously, fully concentrated on hitting each note perfectly. Once in a long while, 90's Mariah reappears in the 2000s, and this is one of those moments. It's also interesting to note that she mimed the climax during the official televised performance, yet in this rehearsal she was completely capable of delivering it live. There was literally no need to lip-sync. Enjoy and Merry Christmas Lambily. (Friday 26 December 2025; 09:03)

Quiet (112,772) by Edward from USA The board feels kind of sad this holiday season. I hope you're having a great time. (Friday 26 December 2025; 04:18)

Christmas (112,771) by Edward from USA Merry Christmas everyone. (Friday 26 December 2025; 04:10)

Roc and Roe (112,770) by Bobby A from United States Roc is looking more like Nick as he gets older and Roe is looking like 19th year old MC in an X Christmas day post today. Roc and Roe have really grown up. (Thursday 25 December 2025; 20:45)

Without You (Butterfly Tour, Honolulu) (112,769) by Billy from Greece Another rarity. Merry Christmas. (Thursday 25 December 2025; 12:13)

Love takes time (112,768) by jaker20 from US Kelly has actually covered it on her show. Not bad, she's a good vocalist, she can do the runs, peaks and lows and all the power vocals. But the quality of the midrange is so different and airiness are totally missing. That said, Love Takes Time is that song in her debut that sounds the most fresh in 2025. That's why she's been using it lately as intro on her tours. (Thursday 25 December 2025; 04:11) this is a reply to message 112,764

Love takes time (112,764) by Giovanni from USA Gave "Love takes time" a listen and it's definitely one of my favorites from Mariah. She still has the best debut album by a female in my opinion. I would love to hear Kelly Clarkson cover this song. (Wednesday 24 December 2025; 22:26)

Love takes time (112,767) by Lighty from China Kelly already covered LTT on her show. (Thursday 25 December 2025; 04:07) this is a reply to message 112,764

IYF vs NII (112,766) by MusicfanJ from Germany I would choose NII too. It would be really perfect for the olympics. (Wednesday 24 December 2025; 23:27) this is a reply to message 112,754

IYF vs NII (112,754) by Lara from Middle East Although [in your feelings] might be more mainstream, I think NII would be cheaper to have as video other than glamour shots. She can use backstage moments of her triumphant video shoot fall or the NYE fiasco followed by her netter performances. She can use stories from the Olympians overcoming adversity since she's performing for the winter Olympics. (Tuesday 23 December 2025; 22:08)

NII (112,765) by Bobby A from United States I have thought about meeting with our high school choir director to see if he can add NII to the spring concert set list. Haha. (Wednesday 24 December 2025; 22:37) this is a reply to message 112,758

NII (112,758) by Bill from the UK Aren't you a teacher Bobby A? You could start something huge haha. (Wednesday 24 December 2025; 12:38)

NII (112,763) by Giovanni from USA I hope she wears a good ensemble haha. (Wednesday 24 December 2025; 22:24) this is a reply to message 112,757

NII (112,757) by Bobby A from United States Nothing Is Impossible just needs one middle or high school choir director to have students perform it during a February school program for NII to go viral on social media. All other aspiring singers will follow suit with their own TikTok videos. Anyway, I trust that MC is going to give a grand performance at the opening Winter Olympics ceremonies. (Wednesday 24 December 2025; 05:43)

Bruno Mars (112,762) by Giovanni from USA I like Bruno Mars, his voice and his music. He's my dream collaboration but if it never happens I guess it's just not meant to be. I just think they would sound great together the way John Legend sounds great with Mariah. Bruno has never mentioned Mariah so I don't know if he likes her. I'm sure he does. (Wednesday 24 December 2025; 22:22)

The deluxe (112,761) by T from USA In Your Feelings (ft. Bruno Mars) Nothing Is Impossible (ft. Celine Dion) Let's Go (Wednesday 24 December 2025; 20:54)

The voice of those without voice (112,760) by Edward from USA At this point, I think Mariah should just run for president. She could fix the state of the world with a few carefully placed high notes and a Christmas ceasefire. Problem solved. Truly historic. And if she doesn’t use her massive platform the way Barbra has consistently done, especially when the world is on fire, then maybe we all agree to suspend the whistle register until meaningful civic engagement resumes. For those without voice, no excuses. (Wednesday 24 December 2025; 17:23)

So which is it? (112,759) by jaker20 from US I mean it's not necessarily one or the other. The charts don't matter as it used to, does not mean we can't talk about the charts. (Wednesday 24 December 2025; 17:01) this is a reply to message 112,745

So which is it? (112,745) by Dove from United States I mean, if we get them, of course we'll celebrate and acknowledge our wins. But if we don't, it doesn't mean MC is suddenly worthless to us. (Tuesday 23 December 2025; 12:04)

NII (112,750) by Randy from USA I'd rather see this promoted, T. For those who didn't listen to me the first three hundred times I told this story, I had a visceral, emotional response to the song and the way she chose to sing it low. It's wonderful for the Olympics and I hope the public tik tok's it, it goes viral and becomes a number one. I have a Right To Dream. (Tuesday 23 December 2025; 17:08)

Bruno Mars (112,756) by Edward from USA That's funny, put it in the Burn Book. (Wednesday 24 December 2025; 03:14) this is a reply to message 112,752

Bruno Mars (112,752) by Bill from the UK I wish Mariah would just do a blasted duet with Bruno so it can flop and then we move on and suggest someone else lol. Given the vibe of HFIA, she'd better suit a pairing with Maxwell and do something like his Urban Hang Suite album. (Tuesday 23 December 2025; 18:29)

"Feelin' like Babs" for more reason than one (112,755) by Geronimo from USA Let's hope together that Barbara [sic] Streisand recent common sense observation while receiving a lifetime achievement award will inspire the queen of Christmas now that she is no longer distracted by having to actually sing most of her Christmas songs most of the time. Streisand told her audience that "We sit here amid diamonds, artistic memories, while the world outside is breaking apart. If your voice can move millions without using it to help those without a voice, then you are creating noise." Better late than never to get a clue. (Tuesday 23 December 2025; 22:14)

IYF vs NII (112,749) by T from USA Which one would everyone like to see properly promoted, performance, music video? If there is only budget for one? By the way, there was never a Bruno Mars duet in the works and definitely not now that her and Anderson are not together. And with the prospect of NII being promoted next, there may not be any more plans for IYF. (Tuesday 23 December 2025; 15:55)

IYF vs NII (112,753) by Zachariah from Croatia NII for sure. It would be perfect for the Olympics. (Tuesday 23 December 2025; 19:11) this is a reply to message 112,749

So which is it? (112,751) by Edward from USA It's not that charts don't matter, it's about having realistic expectations, which is a completely different conversation. Expecting Mariah to score a major hit when the general public can't really relate to her as an artist anymore is, to me, the definition of insanity. That's why I told people before "Here For It All" was released to forget about the charts and just focus on the music, because I knew the music would be great. As a realistic fan I didn't close my eyes not to see writing already hanging pretty on the wall. I knew she was never going to compete with Taylor in any universe as some here suggested, and I also knew that taking seven years to release new music in an era where you can be relevant today and forgotten tomorrow was a huge mistake. As for "All I Want for Christmas Is You", people love the song because of what it represents, but that love hasn't translated into renewed interest in the person singing it. Mariah, at this point, is largely unrelatable to the general public. You could say "AIWFCIY" has a life of its own, its impact goes beyond Mariah, labels, or promotion. It's simply part of the holidays now. (Tuesday 23 December 2025; 17:17) this is a reply to message 112,741

So which is it? (112,741) by Alexis Carrington-Colby from United States For 10 months out of the year, the lambs constantly say that the charts don't matter as Mariah has nothing left to choose. So, why is it during November and December, all the lamb posts are chart updates? (Tuesday 23 December 2025; 03:14)
