Re: 3rd Christmas album (79,938) (79,943) by Matty from Vancouver Canada You know what, you're kinda right. Both MC and MC2 are absolute perfection, and it would be smart to cap the "Queen of Christmas" association. I also have no doubt that MC2 will get more and more of the global recognition is deserves as the years pass. Look at the trajectory of Merry Christmas's success. Christmas albums need time for people to create memories and associations surrounding the album before they become legendary staples of the season. As an alternative, maybe instead she could release a christmas compilation album with the following tracks: 1. The Star 2. When Christmas Comes featuring John Legend 3. AIWFCIY featuring Justin Bieber 4. Where are you Christmas (with Mariah singing it proper) 5. Auld Lang Syne (acoustic version, as a nice counter point to the '90's dance version on MC2) 6. Lil' Snowman 7. AIWFCIY with Michael Buble (live 2013) 8. Oh Santa. All I want for Christmas Is Your Mashup 9. All I want for Christmas is You (dance remix) (Sunday 17 December 2017; 23:21)

Re: Top 10 Christmas albums ever (79,935) (79,942) by Matty from Vancouver Canada this_is_qhm, totally agree with what you've said. I agree with you about Gwen's sound on the album, but the original material is weak (but again, no one creates original Christmas music like Mimi). That's why I was so impressed with Sia's new Christmas effort, which was all original tracks and she's created a cool modern christmas vibe. Also, no one can match Santa Baby like Kylie's version. That was like hand-in-glove perfection. (Sunday 17 December 2017; 23:01)

Re: Top 10 Christmas albums ever (79,920) (79,926) by Matty from Vancouver Canada Hmmm interesting list. Not sure these would be my picks. I mean I love me some Christina Aguilera, but her holiday album (which I do own), is so early 2000's production in the way it sounds I can't consider it "classic" or "timeless". I would agree with Elvis (I own), Jackson 5 (I own), however I'd put Buble #4 (honestly, it's an amazing Christmas album, and that's not just based on my Canadian pride lol). Then others I'd include are "Merry Christmas II You" (obviously), Dolly and Kenny's Once Upon a Christmas (shocked this didn't make the list); a She & Him Christmas (for that cozy throwback vibe), and hands down best new christmas album of 2017: Sia, Every Day is Christmas. Oh and Kelly Clarkson has a really amazing Christmas album too. (Saturday 16 December 2017; 22:30)

Article: Should have been bigger: Mariah Carey's "Oh Santa" (79,889) by Matty from Vancouver Canada Amen. I love "Oh Santa". But honestly I love all Mariah's original Christmas music (even Lil' Snowman, hahahaha). My only tiniest critique is that the whistle moment at the 2:42 point is a bit aggressive when it's playing/blasted on the radio or in the mall and shops. It's an amazingly strong and beautiful note; however almost over powering in certain environments. (Friday 15 December 2017; 02:51)

Re: Beacon Theatre DVD (79,754) (79,756) by Matty from Vancouver Canada I would love the Beacon Christmas show on DVD. I would also love the Vegas show on DVD, I could relive the night I attended that concert for the rest of my love. MC needs more concert DVDs. I would really appreciate an updated #1's DVD to accompany #1 to Infinity. (Sunday 10 December 2017; 02:18)

Re: Bashing Mariah (79,695) (79,713) by Matty from Vancouver Canada I'm so glad this behavior is being called out. (Thursday 7 December 2017; 19:33)

Re: Charmbracelet at 15 (79,645) (79,647) by Matty from Vancouver Canada Butterfly, Charmbracelet and Memoirs are her most lyrically superior albums IMO. She has master lyrics on all three of these albums. (Monday 4 December 2017; 22:45)

Re: "Charmbracelet" anniversary (79,642) (79,646) by Matty from Vancouver Canada Interesting re: Justin not wanting to be associated with Mariah at the time. Justin has been one shady b*tch towards a few of music's female legends. He throws Janet under the bus and blames her for nipplegate at the Superbowl (which we know changed the trajectory of her career forever). Despite Mariah reigning supreme for 10 solid years prior, he thinks after she has one bad year, he's too good for her, and of course we all know how he threw all of his and Britney's laundry on the public line, and blamed her for their break up. Tisk tisk JT, never underestimate women's power. (Monday 4 December 2017; 22:30)

Re: "Charmbracelet" anniversary (79,621) (79,625) by Matty from Vancouver Canada Wow. Fifteen years since Charmbracelet. This is a very special album to me too, Billy. Charmbracelet was when I truly became a Lamb. I was so impressed with how she recovered from her breakdown after the press had completely turned on her, seeing tabloid headlines everywhere like "Mariah's meltdown", "Batty Mariah looses her mind", "No more rainbows in Mariah's sky" etc. etc. She came back so confident exploring a new sound with her music. She didn't do what people expected musically, and I found that liberating and empowering. I agree with you, this is when Mariah developed her cult following, and solidified her legion of true Lambs. My favourite tracks are: You Got Me, I Only Wanted, Clown, Subtle Invitation and Bringing on The Heartbreak (her best remake of a song IMO). Has anyone ever heard the version of "Yours" she recorded with Justin Timberlake? I've always heard rumours of this version, but have never got to hear it. (Sunday 3 December 2017; 23:58)

Re: World AIDS Day setlist? (79,604) (79,606) by Matty from Vancouver Canada Thank you. So impressed by this performance. She was so light and fun, and when she pulled up that lamb on stage and signed her arm, we can all say Mariah, leader of the lambs, is nack in beautiful form. "It's like that", into "Don't forget about us", to "We belong together" and finally, Hero. Great choices. Fantastic set. (Saturday 2 December 2017; 01:57)

World AIDS Day setlist? (79,600) by Matty from Vancouver Canada Damn, Mimi, you turned it out at the World AIDS Day concert. Glad she's well again, and can now commence her Christmas tour. What did Mariah sing at the World AIDS Day concert, does anyone know? Where can I watch, anyone have a link? (Friday 1 December 2017; 18:17)

Mariah Carey's Merriest Christmas on Netflix (79,585) by Matty from Vancouver Canada Mariah Carey's Merriest Christmas is on Netflix Canada this year. She sounds amazing, she's totally engaged, having an amazing time, and she looks unreal. Netflix just got more festive in dis betch. (Wednesday 29 November 2017; 04:39)

The Social Halloween special (79,112) by Matty from Vancouver Canada The Social (Canadian talk show) had their Halloween special today, and they did a group costume as The Diva's of The Social, and the mediator, Melissa Grelo dressed as a fabulous Mariah Carey lol. They opened her intro with "You do know here" lol. The rest were Celine, Cher, Dolly and Tina Turner. Check out their costume looks here. Happy Halloween MCArchives.

Stunning with Lagerfeld (79,007) by Matty from Vancouver Canada Mimi looks stunning at the Lagerfeld party, and her vocals from all the videos is everything we love (Tuesday 24 October 2017; 20:52)

Re: Soundtracks and Mariah (78,994) (79,004) by Matty from Vancouver Canada Edward. How could I forget Right to Dream. I love that track. Wow. Wow. Wow. I've never heard "Help Me Make It Through The Night". That song is fantastic. If this didn't make the Tennessee soundtrack it sure as help should have been on MIAM arranged to play right after #Beautiful. I love the use of her voice, the vibe, the simplicity, the beauty. Thank you for introducing me to this stunning track. (Tuesday 24 October 2017; 20:05)

Soundtracks and Mariah (78,986) by Matty from Vancouver Canada Are these the only four Soundtrack songs Mariah has done? (not including "Glitter"): When You Believe Almost Home The Star 100% (meant for Precious and Angels Advocate album, but later used for 2010 Winter Olympics) (Tuesday 24 October 2017; 02:37)

Packer / The Star / robbery (78,927) by Matty from Vancouver Canada Finally we hear from Packer about the breakup and I'm very impressed by his class and not finger pointing. The Star. Mariah brought it. I want her and Shaiman to do a full secular album with amazing strings and live orchestration. It could be her Tony Bennett and Gaga moment. The respect she'd be given from the industry would be explosive. Regarding the robbery. I have no doubt it was an inside job. what kind of s*it security system to millionaires is this, that responds hours and hours later to a silent alarm? There's been a lot of robberies in Hollywood over the past few months. Will we having a Bling Ring part 2 from these invasions? Dumb goons. (Saturday 21 October 2017; 04:32)

Mariah in Vancouver (78,286) by Matty from Vancouver Canada On Sunday, in Vancouver Mariah absolutely slayed it. It was a pack house, and everyone was on their feet shaking their booties and screaming their faces off. It was an absolutely amazing show. I'm proud of her. She absolutely did silence any doubters. (Tuesday 5 September 2017; 18:39)

Re: Unforgettable (78,239) (78,243) by Matty from Vancouver Canada Agreed Mimi. This song has been on repeat none stop since it was released. I didn't even have to give it multiple listens, it was a smash in my ears from the very first listen. Sounds like the remix was recorded before the original was even released to radio. I would love if they'd start playing the remix on the radio. I hear the original all the time, but they should serve it to all pop, R&B, and hip-hop radio stations and tell them to play it instead of the original. It would give the song that fresh boost and interest on that chats. I wonder if the remix will chart on Billboard this week? The over all message, this is the exact perfect direction MC should head in for her next project. (Friday 1 September 2017; 22:51)

Re: All the Hits merch (78,236) (78,240) by Matty from Vancouver Canada Awesome, thank you Jeff. I as long as I get a tee with the tour dates on the back, I'm a happy camper. (Friday 1 September 2017; 20:10)

All the Hits merch? (78,234) by Matty from Vancouver Canada For anyone who's been to All The Hits Tour; what's the merchandise table like? What are they selling, and what's the best Mariah merch available? I'm going this Sunday night in Vancouver (and Monday is a holiday in Canada), so yes mama, mama is getting lit. (Friday 1 September 2017; 02:48)

Re: Mariah's next album cover (78,207) (78,209) by Matty from Vancouver Canada I would love if she did something totally out of the box. Like you said, an artistic cover without her face at all would be such a great change of pace. A new sound and a new approach to album art would go a long way in showing a fresh creative side. Emotions cover art and E=MC2 cover art is the most out of the box Mariah's gotten on a Mariah cover, she should push the limits way more then that. I still [wish] The Art of Letting Go single art was the main cover of MIAMTEC. (Wednesday 30 August 2017; 22:46)

Unforgettable score (78,117) by Matty from Vancouver Canada I love [the] Unforgettable remix. [This] is the exact, fresh, new, relevant sound Miss Mariah should channel for her new album. It suites the evolution of her voice perfectly and I'm pumped she's trying a new sound. It's so 2000-now. (Friday 25 August 2017; 22:00)

Publicist vs. manager (77,865) by Matty from Vancouver Canada Manny, you are so right. Where the hell is Mariah's publicist? Manager and publicist are two very different jobs, and MC's always had both, Cindy and Benny for example (correct me if I'm wrong). Mariah's image is being dragged. Stella can be her manager if Mariah thinks she's doing well and opening new doors. However she needs a professional publicist who doesn't respond to a third tier outlet like TooFab out of bitterness (how Stella has time to speak with TooFab with all the goings-on escapes me), but rather responds to proper news outlets, not blogs and gossip sites. Stella is simply unflattering in the public sphere. (Friday 11 August 2017; 21:06)

Happy Canada 150 (76,810) by Matty from Vancouver Canada Happy Canada Day, Canadian lambs. 150 years young darling. (Saturday 1 July 2017; 21:05)
