Article: Mariah Carey surprises with new Christmas song (78,916) by Matthew from USA Aww. I was hoping she would use her old higher belt. It's not very reliable, but I'm sure she can produce it in a studio environment, and it would have kicked the song up a notch towards the end there. She mostly uses her low nasally tonefor the duration of this song, or the liquor tone if you will , which is my least favorite MC tone since it goes nowhere. But it's very reliable for her so I guess the plus is that she should be able to perform it live. I've always thought that she should do the impossible on the recording, even if she can't reproduce it live. At least we will have a stellar recording. But I guess there is also merit to not overdoing it in the studio if you know you probably can't produce it on stage. (Friday 20 October 2017; 21:44)

Re: The Star song (78,903) (78,915) by Licia from USA I am a good lamb when the music is right. That's honestly all I care about. You enjoy your weekend as well and have lots and lots of splashes. I'm a horrible influence. Lol. (Friday 20 October 2017; 21:19)

The Star (78,914) by Andrew from UK Like a long, slow, agonising march toward death. I would go as far as to say it is the worst thing she has ever recorded. Ever. And I still have nightmares about There For Me. It's not that it's just bad, it's *so* bad that it's only mildly more preferable than hearing loss. (Friday 20 October 2017; 21:08)

The Star (78,913) by Brad from USA I enjoy this song. To me, it is plaintiff in its approach while obviously orchestrated to compliment the tenor and theme of the companion film. I like its encouraging message that I think can speak to people of traditional and self-based faiths. I also think it is true to the strengths of Mariah's voice at this point in time; those being excellent elocution, tone and mid-range belting. I'm sure its tender for her too as her children are part of the group that sings the chorus' refrain. In all, its a lovely, uplifting experience to listen to it. And who among us doesn't need that with all that is going on, especially as we begin to enter that special time of year. May God bless and be well. (Friday 20 October 2017; 20:20)

Re: The Star (78,904) (78,912) by Musti from UK I don't think this song has commercial potential to be honest. Maybe if the movie is a huge success. But then again the Oz movie was huge yet most people didn't know Almost Home existed. Having said that, I do agree that this song has an easily distinguishable melody. Most of all, there are no high chest belts. I'm proud of her for singing in a range she's comfortable with. Her voice is so beautiful no matter which octave she is in.

Article: Mariah Carey surprises with new Christmas song (78,911) by Dumi from South Africa Love it and positive about it and let the critics do what they are good at. Obviously she is a business lady who contributed to this project, go MC. Like that Oprah and Tyler are on this project too. Good to see this continue. I wish she would dump Stella though.

Article: Mariah Carey surprises with new Christmas song (78,910) by Vera from Nederlands Just had a chance to check the new song out and, to be perfectly honest, not sure I'd like to hear it again, let alone on repeat. (Friday 20 October 2017; 18:50)

The Star (78,909) by Tameka walker from United states This song is awesome. I listened to it and got goosebumps. She is still the best singer out there hands down. I was totally blown away and memorized by this beautiful song. She is definitely a prolific songwriter and singer. I am speechless. I love you so much MC and I will go out and support this album. (Friday 20 October 2017; 18:35)

The Star (78,908) by Stacey from USA Just listened to the song. This is classic Mariah, which is a good thing. Very much in the vein of One Child and There For Me. Her vocals and lyrics are on point. It just proves she still has "it". Promote the dang song. It needs to be played as the ending movie credits roll. Great job, Mariah. Definitely going on my playlist this Christmas season. (Friday 20 October 2017; 18:01)

Re: The Star (78,904) (78,907) by Stacey from USA And the song needs to be played as the closing movie credits roll. (Friday 20 October 2017; 17:47)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey hit for $50k by burglars (78,902) (78,906) by SM from Citizen of the World I’m sure Stella had something to do with this. (Friday 20 October 2017; 17:30)

Re: 5 Music videos that take you on a roller coaster ride (78,892) (78,905) by B from USA (Friday 20 October 2017; 17:00)

The Star (78,904) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines This has been Mariah's most commercially palatable single in a looooong time. If all goes well, this could soar up the charts due to its universal appeal to all age demographics, easily distinguishable melody and straightforward delivery. Its success might highly depend on how the film fares in the box office. Here's hoping. Mariah please promote this. Sing it back to back with AIWFCIY in all guestings and shows you have for the next 2 months. (Friday 20 October 2017; 16:39)

Re: The Star song (78,900) (78,903) by MusicfanJ from Germany I'll buy it on cd. I'm not a download-fan, of course I have some for my mp3-player. Licia I always knew you're a good lamb. So I wish all the MCA members a happy lambily weekend. With or without some splashes. (Sorry I had to say it.) (Friday 20 October 2017; 15:42)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey hit for $50k by burglars (78,893) (78,902) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter It's like the Bling Ring all over again. But yes I'm glad no one was harmed. (Friday 20 October 2017; 14:52)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey hit for $50k by burglars (78,898) (78,901) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I don't know why this made me laugh so much, but like I want to know who you think it is. (Friday 20 October 2017; 14:52)

The Star song (78,900) by Licia from USA I'm trying to be a good little lamb and buy the song on Google play, but they don't have it. They have the whole album listed under Mariah's name like it's just the one song and all I can do is pre-order the whole album. They just shade Android phones so bad. Lol. (Friday 20 October 2017; 14:09)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey hit for $50k by burglars (78,893) (78,899) by Licia from USA I agree that security company needs to be dropped. Surprised TMZ didn't out the name of the company. I know they know. That's ridiculous. Rich or not nobody deserves things that they've worked for to be taken. I'm glad no one was home. I have experience with being at home sleeping while being robbed. Just scarey. (Friday 20 October 2017; 13:41)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey hit for $50k by burglars (78,893) (78,898) by Butterfly from We all know who did it. (Friday 20 October 2017; 12:15)

The Star (78,897) by MusicfanJ from Germany I just heard the complete song. Great, I love it. Mariah always gets me with movie soundtracks. So I already I have my Christmas gift. The refrain is such a catchy tune. Well done, thank you MC (queen of Christmas). I'm ready for the holiday season. (Friday 20 October 2017; 12:12)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey hit for $50k by burglars (78,893) (78,896) by MusicfanJ from Germany Oh, yes luckily she wasn't there. I wish Mariah would leave California. I was so happy to see her in New York again. For the burglars Hollywood/Beverly Hills and Co. must be the perfect place for robbery. Very spooky. (Friday 20 October 2017; 11:54)

Anthony Burrell being dragged on IG again (78,895) by Sheila from United States A lamb has started a war of words with Anthony over some comments he's made. Which turned into 140 lambs and Anthony going back and forth over some shady comments. What a mess. (Friday 20 October 2017; 11:45)

Re: Article: Carey on (78,890) (78,894) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes agree. And we all know what happend during her overworking in 2001. She's no robot and I even love her more that she escaped from the 100% perfection Daydream era like Terna said. It's one thing if the showbiz doesn't allow weakness, I do. And I repeat myself I enjoyed the videos from Foxwoods. Carey on. (Friday 20 October 2017; 11:43)

Article: Mariah Carey hit for $50k by burglars (78,893) by Giselle UrbanPoshBeauty from US of A That is freaking terrible. I'm glad nobody was home, why wasn't her window or doors locked and where in the world is security? Or alarm company not until 6am. Chile Mariah time to fire that one.

Re: 5 Music videos that take you on a roller coaster ride (78,891) (78,892) by Jamie from UK Haha I did that on a jet ski. (Friday 20 October 2017; 10:16)
