New music? (107,658) by Bobby A from United States

I believe you are right, Mimi. Based upon the Billboard Hot 100 chart a year ago, AIW made it annual debut at #17. It is no where to be found on this week's chart dated November 16, 2024. It will be interesting if it doesn't make it to number one this year or who her competition will be battling her for the number one spot. Jason Kelce's Maybe It's Christmas is currently sitting at number #1 on iTunes and MC is number #3.

New music? (107,657) by Shezz from Pk

Why were we all expecting it? I feel that she said something herself about it but now I can't remember what or when. I remember I was telling RA it's too soon, she just did MC25 and then I was like oh good I'm glad I was wrong and she is.

New music? (107,656) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

If it isn't it'll be due to the oversaturation. AIW was an organic hit because of its timeless feel. But in the last few years there's been so much saturation with AIW, with Mariah fully embracing the Christmas lady persona. I get it that holidays are where the money's at but I wish she didn't push it so much.

She is truly being the elusive chanteuse with the Lambs. By the way, I have a funny feeling AIWFCIY won't be as popular this holiday season.

New music? (107,654) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

To be honest, if Mariah wasn't reserving this year for something big for this anniversary, what was stopping her from finishing her other projects like MC16, TBL, etc. I get she was doing shows, but they weren't so intense that she didn't have time to finish her projects. I was thinking she's avoiding releases this year to focus on the anniversary. Even the Netflix special I thought it's a documentary turns out it's just a taping of her show.

New music? (107,653) by Edward from USA

I truly believed that with MC turning 30, Mariah would go all out with new music, a fresh video, and a TV special. Sadly, that doesn't seem to be the case. Considering Brenda Lee has already hit number one on the Billboard Holiday charts, it feels like the perfect opportunity for Mariah to bring her A-game this season.

Likewise it’s basically the deluxe edition.

Same here. She did it for the 25th anniversary so it was doubtful she'd do something major again for it so soon. I think it's too late for her to announce something now. Let's hope MC16 sees the light of day soon.

New music? (107,650) by Bobby A from United States

I just want one last album and a world tour in 2025. A RSD vinyl would be nice in 2025 too. Also, just think about her hit albums released in the years of 1995 and 2005. 2025 has to be MC's year to drop MC16.

Christmas tour 2024 (107,649) by Bobby A from United States

I have been a special education teacher for 14 years. I am hoping that I can obtain a high school social studies position next school year and last another 15 years until retirement. Butterfly was released when I started my teaching career.

New music? (107,648) by Brandon from USA

So no new music for Merry Christmas 30th anniversary? Just new covers for the album? I'm disappointed. I was hoping for at least a new song or something.

Whenever she does, she sounds pretty good. I hope this gives her the confidence to do this more often.

Christmas tour 2024 (107,643) by Bobby A from United States

Thank you. I hope that you are getting some spiritual comfort and peace. I still listen to Larry Tinsley every morning on V103. He played Great and Mighty by Dorinda Clark Cole and she brought me so much joy this morning with her message. I stay tuned every morning for Big Tigger and Jazzy McBee. Lol.

Did you all see Mariah's new interview with BuzzFeed and the cute puppies? This is the type of interviews that I like to see. She was down to earth, they asked her questions and she was wearing street clothes. She looked and sounded great.

Keep politics out (107,640) by Alexis Carrington-Colby from United States

Christmas shows (107,639) by Bobby A from United States

2025 is going to be a defining year for MC's career. Will she release any full length project? Will she keeping us hanging on wondering all year? It has been too long since Caution was released. Something else has been going on that has caused such a prolonged wait. It has been more than vocal and personal issues.

Christmas tour 2024 (107,638) by Bobby A from United States

Thank you Libra. I have been thinking about relocating back to Atlanta. I just need to develop a plan about what I am going to do next year. I know now Texas is not where I need to live long-term. Anyway, I just need for the Thanksgiving break to hurry up. Lol. These 5am arrival days are really hard each day when I go from classroom to classroom supporting students across 3 buildings.

Christmas shows (107,637) by Zachariah from Croatia

I have few things to say regarding this matter:

1. You guys are lucky to even to get to see her in this time of the year. I adore Christmas, although I am more an introvert and alone 90% of the time those days, but I love to see city streets with Christmas decorations and such. I like the vibe. I would do anything to go to see her, but it is what it is.

2. I don't mind her just standing there and not move - she was never a dancer and I am fine with that. Looking at the monitor - that is really annoying and I really would like to know why is she doing that, but it must be the lyrics, or looking herself in the monitor to see if the hair is ok or just a logistic part to see where is she standing or something like that - I really don't know what else could be.

3. Her tour starts way to early. She should do just December next time - from 1st of December until 20th. That's it. She had a lot this year and she should get her rest.

4. Vocals are very good from what I hear and I don't know why is she using back tracks.

I don't think she has dementia or anything like that - it is just stress and making sure that everything goes well. Look at it this way - I use notes at my work. Every day. As I am sure you all do. This is her work and yes, notes are in order to make sure that everything goes well.

Christmas shows (107,636) by Lighty from China

I have to agree with you on this. I won't say dementia though, maybe just memory loss due to her aging but she really seems to be slower and duller than before when she talks or moves. For example during the Las Culturistas podcast, her answers to every question seemed to be very short and simple compared to, let's say, old Oprah or Rosie interviews, where she was so talkative and vibrant. Even two or three years ago she was not like this. Another example is during the Drew Barrymore show she even forgot the word "snowglobe", which is among her latest merchandise goods. It seems to me that more often than before, she gets lost in words. This is extremely obvious in her recent interviews. Maybe that why she keeps looking at the prompters during the concerts. I can only wish Mariah healthy and happy now.

Celebrity endorsements (107,635) by BFF from United States

My guess is that Mariah was put off by the Harris campaign's embrace of Eminem as a surrogate. It was interesting that Obama and Eminem appeared together to help VP Harris become the first woman president when we all know Eminem has spent decades calling Mariah Carey every misogynistic word in the dictionary and recording songs with all manner of homophobic and misogynistic slurs.

Christmas shows (107,634) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway

I agree with the people that feels she seems stiff, and I'm too surprised she uses prerecorded vocals so much, I thought her voice was in god condition, and the notes she actually sings live sounds good. It seems like she is affraid to go in higher register live these days. The constant looking at the monitors I really don't know why, she didn't do this until two years ago. As I have said before, I think she used Ozempic a year ago, and I came with a controversial theory that that medicine made her depressed, as is a common side effect to Ozempic. What Ozempic also can do, is causing temporarily dementia, I know it's far fetched, but maybe Mariah has a hard time remembering her own lyrics. Or it's just that her singing is so cut and paste these days it is to remember where she lip synchs and not.
