Re: 3rd Christmas album (79,936) (79,947) by B from USA Agreed. I also do not think she should record another Christmas album. All I want for Christmas is a proper studio album. (Monday 18 December 2017; 11:40)

Re: Top 10 Christmas albums ever / Santa Baby (79,946) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Totally. Santa Baby was not written for Eartha Kitt. It's definitely for Kylie. And for those who still haven't heard it, here's the most perfect naughty-yet-nice Betty Boop impression you'll ever hear on record. Best. Version. Ever. Well the Ariana Grande ft. Liz Gillies version would also be great if Liz sung the whole thing. Ariana just tried too hard to sound cutesy. Liz's voice, on the other hand, just screams sophistication - her enunciation and tone in the lower register just sound expensive - this girl should be singing more. (Monday 18 December 2017; 10:20)

iTunes Christmas top 200 in your country? (79,945) by Matty from Vancouver Canada What are Mariah's positions on your countries iTunes Christmas chart? Canada: 1.

Oh Santa (4 version of AIWFCIY are: MC, Fifth Harmony, Michael Buble and the cast of Glee) (Monday 18 December 2017; 01:25)

Re: Ponytailriah emerges again (79,939) (79,944) by Edward from USA That's not a ponytail, that's fully-grown horsetail. She looks great though. (Sunday 17 December 2017; 23:39)

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: 3rd Christmas album (79,927) (79,941) by TJ from Norway She should listen to White Christmas and Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas by Connie Francis and try to recreate that sound. To everyone on the board: have a listen. They are so good. (Sunday 17 December 2017; 20:45)

Merry Christmas cover hair tutorial (79,940) by Warrior Butterfly from USA For decades I have wondered what Mariah's 1994 hair style was for her album cover and I stumbled upon this video. (Sunday 17 December 2017; 18:39)

Ponytailriah emerges again (79,939) by 123 from USA Speaking of ponytails, she's at it again and looks great. (Sunday 17 December 2017; 18:26)

Re: 3rd Christmas album (79,936) (79,938) by Bill from the UK I agree. The two albums are great already and she doesn’t need to go down the Amy Grant route of churning out a Christmas album every two years. (Sunday 17 December 2017; 14:23)

Re: 3rd Christmas album (79,936) (79,937) by MusicfanJ from Germany Good point Marissa. I think the same way. And there are three albums if you add the "AIWFCIY" album for the animated movie. I'm happy with MC and MC2. Both are perfect for the most wonderful time of the year. She's already the queen of Christmas so I'd prefer a new "regular" album. (Sunday 17 December 2017; 14:19)

Re: 3rd Christmas album (79,927) (79,936) by Marissa from USA Probably an unpopular opinion, but no. I don't think the two Christmas albums can be topped vocally (90s vocals and flawless pregnancy vocals) and she couldn't cover much because she's covered pretty much all of the notable Christmas songs already. Also, I think Mariah has to be careful with overdoing the whole "Queen of Christmas" thing. It's festive and all, but I don't want her to be seen as only being truly relevant one and a half months out of the year. I'd rather see that energy be put into a regular studio album. I'm curious to see what material she has since her whirlwind ordeal during the "nightmare era". (Sunday 17 December 2017; 10:46)

Re: Top 10 Christmas albums ever (79,920) (79,935) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines I won't argue with most of the entries, especially the top 3, but Christina's holiday album borders on unlistenable to me. She sings the hell out of it, but boy did she go too far. She has always displayed her penchant for oversinging in all of her albums after her debut, but My Kind of Christmas was just overkill. It's like, "yeah, alright, we know you can sing". She makes early Mariah Carey sound tame and restrained. The only track I liked from that was Angels we have heard on high. I'd much rather have Michael Buble's at #4 than that mess. Gwen's album just made it on the list for promotion purposes, considering it's the most recent one on the list. Although there's something appealing about how her unique voice sounds against the retro production, all of the original material is just weak and just weighs the whole album down. The 60s throwback sound was a cool idea, but she should have just made an album of all covers. Her take on Last Christmas rivals Carly Rae Jepsen's version in terms of successfully infusing it with a new sound. White Christmas and Let It Snow are swinging. And while I've never heard Santa Baby suit any artist's voice as well as Kylie Minogue's, Gwen's rendition has its charms. (Sunday 17 December 2017; 08:57)

Re: 3rd Christmas album (79,927) (79,934) by Susana from USA Yes, but only after a successful regular album. So, that the songs on there would be given the chance to become classsics. I would love for her to add "Where are you Christmas". I've akeays wondered what that would sound like if she did it. (Sunday 17 December 2017; 06:05)

Re: Article: "All I Want For Christmas Is You" rises to No. 2 in the U.K. (79,928) (79,933) by Billy from England, UK I am hoping so. Ed needs to sod off lol or he could have done his duet with Mariah instead of Beyonce . (Sunday 17 December 2017; 02:13)

Re: 3rd Christmas album (79,929) (79,932) by Billy from England, UK That would be an amazing album with those songs. (Sunday 17 December 2017; 02:11)

Re: 3rd Christmas album (79,930) (79,931) by Billy from England, UK Oh yes. I loved that too. Would be an amazing song, I bet she forgot about that lol. (Sunday 17 December 2017; 02:10)

Re: 3rd Christmas album (79,929) (79,930) by SM from Citizen of the World I would be so happy if she completed a track from the 2015 Christmas Beacon show when she sang "Christmas in New York" freestyle. I have been in love with it ever since. (Sunday 17 December 2017; 01:37)

Re: 3rd Christmas album (79,927) (79,929) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines I think I've also posted something similar to this in the past. Sure, it would be great to have another Christmas album, especially if she covers my favorite songs: Last Christmas Baby, It's Cold Outside (since George Michael isn't around anymore, then let this be a duet with Michael Bublé) Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree Santa Baby White Christmas I'll Be Home For Christmas Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas Angels We Have Heard On High It Came Upon A Midnight Clear Mistletoe And Holly Happy Holiday Winter Wonderland The Christmas Song Grown-up Christmas List Merry Christmas Darling And of course and original song or two. That's an album right there. (Sunday 17 December 2017; 00:44)

Article: "All I Want For Christmas Is You" rises to No. 2 in the U.K. (79,928) by Matthew Keeley from UK How amazing would it be if it reached number 1 next week? (Sunday 17 December 2017; 00:34)

3rd Christmas album (79,927) by Billy from England, UK Just wondering, would you like another Christmas album? Personally I would, more the merrier haha. (Saturday 16 December 2017; 23:52)

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: "All I Want for Christmas Is You" back up to no. 11 (79,925) by director75 from USA Can someone explain why Billboard dates are so far into the future. So Monday's chart (December 18) is going to the December 30 chart. If anything they should be dated back. (Saturday 16 December 2017; 22:25)

Re: Over 1 million views in 9 hours (79,917) (79,924) by Peter from USA And I think I did a million more today. I always listen to MC Christmas songs when wrapping presents. (Saturday 16 December 2017; 20:55)

Re: Wow, Mariah is at Number 2 in the charts (79,919) (79,923) by Billy from England, UK I think the tour helped. She should always promote her music at different countries. She may get a number one hit if she did it more. (Saturday 16 December 2017; 20:51)
