Re: What songs should she perform? (80,098) (80,101) by Andrew from UK I was in love with The Perfect Year when I was a kid. In terms of what Mariah should perform, she should really stay away from We Belong Together: it's so overdone, she cant sing it live (and she really has to not lipsync the same stuff this time around) and it's not really sing-along-feel-good. She should defo open with My All on stage alone to prove she can stand and sing and then surprise everyone by going into the remix. "Id give my all for your love tonight" is a great last line to make the crowd go wild for her. Then she should tell the crowd how much she loves New York and go straight into the first verse and chorus only of Fantasy Remix ("Yo New York in the house" is a wicked surprise for Times Square). "Feels like I'm dreaming but I'm not sleeping" should go straight into "Gimme your love, gimme your love" and the Heartbreaker second verse and she should bring Jay-Z on stage (hard to attack someone when they got the big boys behind them). She should end with Make It Happen because its message is perfect looking toward a New Year. She needs to keep this upbeat and remind people that she knows how to move. Please not WBT or VOL or Hero.

Weather (80,100) by Tyler from USA So it's supposed to be 9-15 degrees Fahrenheit on Sunday night. Does anyone know if her performance will be pre-taped or performed inside. Singing live in the cold with heavy winds is difficult for any singer. I know MC prefers warmer conditions and I remember the Beacon/Cesar palace basically being saunas. I spoke to a friend who's a TV director and basically said there's no way to heat an open stage. I'm not already making excuses for her but this a concern going into it.

Re: What songs should she perform? (80,098) (80,099) by Edward from USA She should perform Migrate (it should've been a single remix), We Belong Together, and Heartbreaker or It's Like That. She'd better stay away from Emotions for this event. She should wear two sets of earpieces, a set ready to be used just in case. She shouldn't risk it, it would be career suicide.

Re: What songs should she perform? (80,097) (80,098) by Bill from the UK I agree about what's been said about Hero and We Belong Together. I'm also with you all about the Honey performance and the associated trauma is it caused lol. I would go for It's Like That, a new song (or premier the Busta collab, IKWYW part 2), and then round off with Auld Lang Syne. My dream would be for her to sing a rendition of The Perfect Year from Sunset Blvd. There was a British soul singer from the 90s called Dina Carroll who did a beautiful version of it.

Re: What songs should she perform? (80,092) (80,097) by Licia from USA I'd love a new song, but since that's not happening I would like to see her perform Auld Lang Syne again. I enjoyed that year where she added this song to the set list. It's more appropriate to me than WBT. I definitely could see ILT being added. I agree about Honey. I'd only accept a Honey performance if she pulls out the full Honey routine. None of that one, two step then pick me up crap. Not sure what else she should do, but she should definitely leave Hero at home. (Wednesday 27 December 2017; 12:32)

What songs should she perform? (80,096) by Sheila from United States Fantasy, Its Like That and Auld Lang Syne the house mix. (Wednesday 27 December 2017; 11:59)

Re: Billboard (80,093) (80,095) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines That's actually still impressive, especially considering early forecasts suggested that it would slip to #10. Next week it would probably still be in the top 20, so that would be quite an achievement for an older song to hit a new peak and stay within the top 20 for a month. Its potential to achieve the same or even better success in the future is the most exciting part. (Wednesday 27 December 2017; 11:40)

Re: What songs should she perform? (80,092) (80,094) by SM from Citizen of the World So am I, no "Honey" hahaha. (Wednesday 27 December 2017; 10:28)

Billboard (80,093) by Peter from USA MC stays at #9 on the Hot 100 this week. I am a little disappointed, I really thought it could hit the top 5. But a 23 year old song spending two weeks in the top 10 is still something to be proud about. On another note - let’s get ABMB to 100M on VEVO and AIWFCIY to 400M by the end of the year.

Re: What songs should she perform? (80,088) (80,092) by Marissa from USA My top three are It's Like That, Dreamlover and Make It Happen. ILT always gets the party started, Dreamlover is a fan favorite that isn't performed as much as the others so it would be more refreshing to hear and MIH is upbeat and inspiring. My top three that I do not want to hear are WBT (too miserable to bring in the New Year to), Hero, and Honey. (I'm traumatized by the frozen performance she gave at the VH1 Hip Hop Honors. I need a break lol.) (Wednesday 27 December 2017; 02:33)

YouTube subscribers (80,091) by B from USA Last month Mariah's YouTube channel had 2 million subscribers and now she has 3. That's quite a feat of someone who is no longer relevant or only relevant during the Christmas season. (Wednesday 27 December 2017; 01:54)

Re: What songs should she perform? (80,088) (80,090) by B from USA Emotions (with the Vegas intro), TGIFY (as performed in Vegas) and #Beautiful with Trey. Or I'm That Chick, Fantasy, and We Belong Together. I hope she sings the Emotions intro a capella. I hope she owns that stage like did in the flowing red gown at that Save The Music benefit or like she did during Divas Live 98. (Wednesday 27 December 2017; 01:36)

What should she perform? (80,089) by Jeff from USA I vote that she goes with iconic Mariah. Sing songs the crowd will rock with. Touch My Body, Always Be My Baby, and We Belong Together. Sing your ass off, MC. In the words of Tater Tot, "Show 'em you still you." (Wednesday 27 December 2017; 01:22)

What songs should she perform? (80,088) by Tevin from USA Don't know how big Mariah's time slot will be, but if you could choose 3 songs for her to perform Sunday night what would they be? "It's like that" (she sounded good and has been singing this 95% live lately), "I'll be loving you long time/TMB" mix. ABMB, crowd favorite (maybe just the first verse, the chorus, then have crowd sing the du du du part along with her). That should end the performance. Maybe throw a verse of Migrate into the mix, because it should have been a single. Lol. Doing this performance set I believe she could sing this all live with some back tracking (because everyone does it) without having to lip syinc. (Tuesday 26 December 2017; 22:18)

"Love Yourself" (80,087) by Terna from Nigeria A song by Mary J. Blige "Thought they put my life on hold, but I knew something they didn't know." That line glared out at me the minute I heard it and she repeats it again as the song progresses. It's also very cryptic. Give it a spin tell me what you think and with her very public recent divorce, I hope she's ok. After Mariah Carey, it's definitely Mary for me. Just reflecting and pondering on the past 20 plus years thereabout. Happy Holidays MCA family. (Tuesday 26 December 2017; 17:27)

Re: NYE performance (80,082) (80,086) by RibbonB from USA Well, we shall see. The TV promo I have seen just has her name floating around amongst the many other acts. Either way I hope she does well. (Tuesday 26 December 2017; 16:49)

Re: Feliz Navidad (80,083) (80,085) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, the Insta video is so cute. I love Mariah and Santa. The other one with her kids and the reindeer are so cute too. I just love her new Insta pics. Look at her and that smile. There is cuteness overload. Just wonderful to see her so happy. (Tuesday 26 December 2017; 11:57)

Merry Christmas (80,084) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Here is to everyone enjoying their Christmas festivities to all celebrating. To everyone happy holidays to all wishing you all the best for the rest of 2017. (Tuesday 26 December 2017; 04:46)

Feliz Navidad (80,083) by 123 from USA Feliz Navidad everyone and to Mc and her fam as well. The insta video with Dem Kids and Santa is so cute. (Tuesday 26 December 2017; 02:54)

Re: NYE performance (80,080) (80,082) by SM from Citizen of the World Um, I don't really consider "and legendary Mariah Carey at 11:45 right before the ball drops" filler. (Tuesday 26 December 2017; 01:11)

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays (80,081) by Anonymous from Hey lovely people, just want to send my love to you all. Love this fansite. Thank you webmaster and of course Mariah, not matter how good or bad things get, I'm always checking in, because of course I love her. Have a great time peeps, I'm in Jamaica now on honeymoon, they absolutely love her here. She's on blast at the pools and on the streets. I'm one happy lady. (Monday 25 December 2017; 21:13)

NYE performance (80,080) by RibbonB from USA After seeing this year's lineup, I think Mimi will just be filler. I hope she does well, but it seems like they are going to just fold her in with the many other performers scheduled for the night. That might be better than assuming some big redo which could only be a chance for a big blow. She just needs to to one great performance of one great song. An acapela version of Auld Lang Syne is unlikely though. (Monday 25 December 2017; 17:37)

Feliz Navidad (80,079) by RibbonB from USA Merry Christmas to all and what not. (Monday 25 December 2017; 15:36)

Happy Christmas (80,078) by Lila from United States To you and yours, every single one of you. (Monday 25 December 2017; 14:05)

Merry Christmas (80,077) by Special K from USA Jesus is the reason for the season. I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas. MCArchives rocks. (Monday 25 December 2017; 13:34)
