Re: Christmas in London (79,831) (79,833) by The Real Deal from USA I think that her "creative director" needs to look into this. Heeheehee. (Tuesday 12 December 2017; 19:00)

Re: Mariah wearing Martyn's jacket (79,822) (79,832) by Andrew from UK I think Mariah taking that photo with that trademark jacket for his friends and family was brilliant. Even though I'm not sure she'd like to be seen in it ever again ha. (Tuesday 12 December 2017; 17:56)

Christmas in London (79,831) by Andrew from UK The London show was good but not great. I think the journalist who saw the show as quite confused was pretty accurate. It felt like it would be good in a theatre setting but didn't feel like it worked in a massive arena. After the first few songs my friend hugged me and said "Now it feels like Christmas", but then no more than fifteen minutes later the atmosphere was quite flat. People wanted to cry or party instead they got a wall of confusion. The set pieces in-between songs with children were just bizarre, and the girl singing "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" was just peculiar. Everyone started to talk amongst themselves and look at each other in puzzlement. And I'm sure the camp throwing of toys to the front row was fun for the front row but for the 19980 other people in the auditorium a set piece highlight it was not. That Trey Lorenz was given so long on stage was frustrating. But not as frustrating as the overuse of lip-sync. I mean, we know she does it, but it was very overused which the screens emphasised (probably something the SSFT got right with leaving them out), she often missed her cues for the pre-record if she wasn't staring at them on the floor by the monitors, and her range turned from restricted to extraordinary so much that people were visibly awkward when it was going on. That being said, she looked amazing and it was fun to be there. The Christmas songs could have been interspersed with more regular songs to keep the momentum going, but with barely an hour on stage herself, not possible. Still, if it wasn't great, it was still good. (Tuesday 12 December 2017; 17:55)

Re: AIWFCIY at #11, again... so far... (79,820) (79,830) by Terna from Nigeria It's going all the way to number 1, I mean how bizarre would that be? Another record breaking first for Mariah. A record released 23 years ago. Fingers crossed. (Tuesday 12 December 2017; 17:53)

Re: Stephen Hill from BET (79,818) (79,829) by Edward from USA Licia, Sheila is worse than Andrew, believe me. She's usually judgmental towards gay people, but many people here, including the gay ones, don't seem to care much. When Martyn tragically died that day, everybody here as a family conveyed how sad they were, but this woman, if you can call her that, was the only person who wouldn't say a word expressing sadness for Martyn's death. She doesn't seem to know how stupid she comes across with those homophobic comments. Maybe she's a self-hating lesbian in denial. (Tuesday 12 December 2017; 17:46)

Re: All I Wang For Christmas Is You (79,795) (79,828) by TheOne from UK Hilton, all I want for Christmas is you lol. Very nice pic. (Tuesday 12 December 2017; 17:45)

Re: Stephen Hill from BET (79,818) (79,827) by SM from Citizen of the World I've seen Mariah’s new manager outside the Beacon show and she is to the far right of her in the new video she posted celebrating the shows on Instagram. And I believe the lady who is next to her on the right is her new assistant. Bravo to Mariah for a whole new team. Lots of exciting things going on. Maybe he is another manager too.

Re: Article: Lovari features Mariah Carey remake (79,812) (79,826) by 90sMariah from SG He has no technique, no resonance, no singing talent - he sounds like a constantly constipated chipmunk. (Tuesday 12 December 2017; 17:29)

Once Child (79,825) by Edward from USA Ever since I heard "One Child" I've been in love with that song. Even more when I saw a very pregnant Mariah's rendition at the White House. I always thought it was a waste of a track not to be part of a soundtrack, one song, one perfect song. I was playing it the other day and a friend instantly told me: Edward, that's beautiful, and went and purchased it on iTunes. I felt happy because my friend is not a fan, she can't actually stand Mariah's diva persona. It also reminded me of those days when you didn't have to listen to a song for a whole year for it to supposedly grow on you. I'm also surprised "The Star" was nominated, since, as Randy said, "Right to Dream" and "Almost Home" are better tracks in my opinion. I'm going to listen to the other songs nominated in that category, hopefully Mariah has a chance at winning. It would be epic. (Tuesday 12 December 2017; 17:12)

Re: Article: Lovari features Mariah Carey remake (79,812) (79,824) by Edward from USA You're either laughing your head off with these comments about Lovari having any good quality as a singer or you're Lovari yourself. Stop trying to make Lovari happen, he's not going to happen. The links you've posted don't help your case. (Tuesday 12 December 2017; 16:56)

Re: London show article (79,819) (79,823) by Lila from United States Unless they said it in a joking manner, they're just making stuff up. M and Mary have never had rivalry or beef. In fact, I can't recall Mary having either with anyone. She's always so nice. I love her. (Tuesday 12 December 2017; 16:27)

Re: Mariah wearing Martyn's jacket (79,801) (79,822) by Lee from UK It's moments like this which make me realise that Mariah is an actual human being and behind all the hype, fame and diva-ness she is actually real. She was clearly reading her statement about the Manchester bombings from an autocue by the floor monitor but at least she acknowledged the event which she didn't have to do. I think this makes me her even more. (Tuesday 12 December 2017; 15:49)

Re: London show article (79,819) (79,821) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Apparently friends getting along and having mutual respect and admiration for one another doesn't hold attention. Gotta have drama and made up junk for that. Lol. (Tuesday 12 December 2017; 13:29)

AIWFCIY at #11, again...so far... (79,820) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines I personally think and hope that the chances for this to break into the top 10 are higher this year as it seems to have reached this position quite earlier than it did in the past (please correct me if I'm wrong). Once that's done, no matter what position it will be, the overwhelming positive press that is sure to follow will be highly beneficial for her especially after this very tough year. And if it does, it would be just the perfect PR story - legend kicks off 2017 in the worst way possible and ends it with the best chart performance she's had in years - for a song that has been released over two decades ago. Imagine the headlines. A lot of us will surely get emotional. Okay enough daydreaming - let's pray this finally works out for her this time. Second to great health, AIWFC for Mariah is a top 10 with this perennial hit. (Tuesday 12 December 2017; 12:58)

London show article (79,819) by Licia from USA As I was reading I came across the part about Mary J being nominated in the same category as Mariah. They asked her something about her rivalry with Mariah. When did they ever have a rivalry? I've only ever heard of their mutual respect for one another (I still need a proper duet ladies lol). Maybe the person who wrote this meant to say competition or competitor rather than rivalry? Anyway Mary answered the question with such class and respect. (Tuesday 12 December 2017; 12:42)

Re: Stephen Hill from BET (79,816) (79,818) by Licia from USA See Sheila you need to quit. You are just as bad as Andrew (I no longer read anything he says so I can only imagine what was said judging by everyone else's posts). You couldn't just say the man was at the Beacon shows and left it at that? All that extra was unnecessary. Smh. (Tuesday 12 December 2017; 12:34)

Re: Golden Globe (79,815) (79,817) by MusicfanJ from Germany Congratulations. I'm so happy for her. It's a well deserved nominee. Mariah can really celebrate this year's end. Her sold out concerts in Paris and London, the Globe nomination and of course the ultimate Christmas song on the charts, that's what I call festive. The sparkling in her eyes is also back, it's good to see her happy again. (Tuesday 12 December 2017; 12:29)

Re: Stephen Hill from BET (79,806) (79,816) by Sheila from United States He was also at the Beacon shows, usually I assumed he was backstage at shows chasing male dancers but evidently he's there for maybe a second role? Manager? (Tuesday 12 December 2017; 11:44)

Re: Golden Globe (79,813) (79,815) by SM from Citizen of the World I know this is very exciting. (Tuesday 12 December 2017; 10:32)

Queen of Christmas (79,814) by tadatorao from japan Just realised every single alphabet in Mariah Carey appears in Merry Christmas. No wonder. (Tuesday 12 December 2017; 06:53)

Golden Globe (79,813) by Mara from United States Congratulations Mariah. If this isn't verification enough that you still have that special quality in you then I don't know what it. The fact that she is sharing this knowing her two beautiful babies are on this song with her, has to feel pretty special if I know MC at all. We know how sentimental she is. What a wonderful way to end 2017, especially with how it started. Getting rid of the dead weight and all it brought along was one of the best moves you have even done. Very emancipating and empowering indeed. (Tuesday 12 December 2017; 06:08)

Re: Article: Lovari features Mariah Carey remake (79,794) (79,812) by The Real Deal from USA Not really. Still up for argument. (Tuesday 12 December 2017; 06:05)

Re: Mariah wearing Martyn's jacket (79,801) (79,811) by Mara from United States This makes me so happy. We know Martyn was lumping for joy up there for this "moment". (Tuesday 12 December 2017; 06:02)

Re: All I Want For Christmas Is You #11 (79,798) (79,810) by Special K from USA Enwar00, I think AIWFC will hit the top ten. We still got about two more weeks before it's Christmas. There is still time. I heard that dang song at least 6 times on the radio today. Let's keep our fingers crossed. (Tuesday 12 December 2017; 02:11)

Re: Golden Globe nomination (79,799) (79,809) by Special K from USA Yay congrats to Mariah however I do agree with you about Right To Dream. (Tuesday 12 December 2017; 02:05)
