Re: 19th #1 (58,632) (58,637) by Lee TS from USA If Packer really knew Mariah, he would hire people to create accounts and purchase say about 300k of AIWFCIY, stream it online, and calling in radio stations to push it for the #1 spot on BB Hot 100. That'll be a better gift than any diamond or vacation can bring. Just saying lol. (Tuesday 22 December 2015; 12:34)

Re: A Christmas Melody (58,631) (58,636) by Lee TS from USA I get your lamb problem about not being able to see Mariah as her character but I was able to see Melissa. I thought the movie was really cute and it fit in with the Hallmark theme. It wasn't Glitter horrible like some suggests, but for her directorial debut I thought she did great. I do think some people were overly exaggerating though, Mariah appeared in the movie just as much as Santa - she was not the star of the show, although I'm sure Mrs. Atkinson thinks differently. If Mariah wants to continue with doing movies, I do hope she takes more acting classes working with a coach, etc. Yes, there were a lot of Mariah-isms. Santa telling Emily to turn a negative into a positive was one. There were some Glitter moments as well, a single mom and daugther, and when Lacey's character dug out old momentos from a box and cries. And was it just me but little Emily is literally Roc's twin? They look so much alike it's crazy. But yeah, I'm glad Mariah got to live out her Regina George fantasy. Good effort. (Tuesday 22 December 2015; 12:20)

I'm back (58,634) by Rene from US These ego games are getting more weird. I am here for Mariah. I only wanted to prove a point. A certain inflated egomaniac can get hurt with a few sentences. Yet, he can write long paragraphs ranting about how Mariah sucks and expects no repercussions. He is the epitome of a narcissist. This is probably my last post here. I will only watch the circus of Andrew, the megalomaniac who wants to control and gathers more followers. (Tuesday 22 December 2015; 10:20)

Article: "All I Want for Christmas Is You" hits new Hot 100 high (58,633) by Musti from UK New top 20 baby. Nothing can stop this song. Not even the Rockefeller performance. (Tuesday 22 December 2015; 9:49)

19th #1 (58,632) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Billboard, let's just stop playing and make AIWFCIY and honorary #1, thus making it her 19th #1. I mean come on this song is charting steadily on Billboard since 1806, even after the fact that back in 94 it wasn't even released as a proper single. This song's success is on a whole other level. Petition to ignore all rules and make it her 19th #1 haha. (Tuesday 22 December 2015; 6:27)

A Christmas Melody (58,631) by Warrior Butterfly from USA This project is very Hallmark and very Mariah Carey at the same time. Hallmark because they love to give that fuzzy feeling, like Lifetime loves to turn out unauthorized TV movies. However being a lamb kind of ruined it for me in some ways all I could see was Mariah, not just as the PTA character but her other lambified hints. Emily being refereed to as "M", Emily carries a butterfly pillow to her new house, Abigail Mariah's film daughter looks like an older Monroe. I'm sure the method of playing a character the opposite of yourself in real life appealed to Mariah as a person, but I still saw Mariah Carey. I know it's nit picky but for the opening credits the font used is LaguneBold, Mariah's default font if you will. What I did like was that Oh Santa was changed up to fit the plot of the film. I wounder how a non-Mariah fan perceived the film some one flipping through the channels and happened to stop there. I wish she had more anaminity. (Tuesday 22 December 2015; 6:12)

Re: Stella (58,623) (58,630) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha I am kinda tired of seeing Stella around Mariah too. More than that I am tired of seeing her kids everywhere, every country Mariah goes to. Don't they have school? Anyways I love Stella for revamping Mariah's image this year, but tone down the "whole family" traveling a little. (Tuesday 22 December 2015; 5:56)

AIWFCIY (58,629) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Congrats to Mariah and the lamblily for the new peak of this holiday staple. This is really great news. I am so proud of Mariah and I hope this shuts up the ignorant headlines that were popping up a while back that Mariah has been dethroned by some new Christmas song, whereas they didn't specify it was only in the retail stores. The song has strong potential to reach top 15 next Tuesday, even if it doesn't #18 is great. (Tuesday 22 December 2015; 5:54)

Re: AIWFCIY #18 on Billboard Hot 100 (58,615) (58,628) by David F from Mexico Wow, amazing, the USA people still love this song, they download it like crazy the same in Spain is at no. 3, she deserves it, it was made from pure vison of love, vision of love. She needs to do a little showcase in the heart of Times Square just like that, spontaneously to drive more attention, to put that song into top ten, be close to the people, a suprise appearance, sorry my ideas. (Tuesday 22 December 2015; 3:19)

Merriest Christmas (58,627) by B from USA Mariah slayed. This special is her best televised Christmas special in my opinion. The comments on YouTube are overwhelmingly positive. (Tuesday 22 December 2015; 2:30)

My review of the movie and the special (58,626) by Randy from USA I really didn't want to comment because I am tired of being the bad guy on here. I'm also tired of people questioning whether or not I'm a fan or a hater. But I have to say that I didn't expect much from the movie and it was pretty bad. I get the part about it being Hallmark channel and sentimentality, but the same woman who wrote Looking In, Outside, Petals, and Right To Dream decided that this was a good project to represent her? You know, I felt the same way when I first saw Glitter. I kind of would have expected MC to be more into dark, deep movies like Precious but ok the movie isn't important. They made 19 Christmas movies this year. I want to talk about the special. It was amazingly, high glossed and polished. I watched it with friends. They all accused her of lip syncing but doing a really good job at it. The sad thing is that her vocal live performance reputation is so bad that we can't determine whether she is singing or not. I thought she sounded and looked like perfection. But I don't think the lipping criticisms can ever go away unless it's just her and the piano being amazing on television, which she seems to be able to do in concert. I'm ready for some new music because the last MC fix I had was MIAMTEC and that is my least favorite album by her. So hopefully April will bring a new album, since she tends to like spring or fall releases these days, and she'll only deal with Jermaine, Bryan Michael Cox, Big Jim and Babyface and leave the hip hop alone considering she'll be 46. That's all for now. (Tuesday 22 December 2015; 2:17)

Re: AIWFCIY #18 on Billboard Hot 100 (58,615) (58,625) by 123 from USA This is so awesome. But I doubt it will go any higher. Christmas songs drop the week before Christmas. It's still an incredible milestone for her. Add "AIWFCIY" to her list of top 20 hits. Did she set a record for longest time between debut of a song and the years it took before it actually hit top 20? Someone needs to ask Billboard so she can add it to the stock of records/accomplishments. So now she has had two top twenty hits during this decade. Say what you want about her new music not charting well lately, but you're still buying her 1994 Christmas music. (Tuesday 22 December 2015; 2:13)

Re: Mariah Christmas (58,594) (58,624) by 123 from USA Granted, her performance lacked. The movie is a wash. It's not like she wrote the script. When the script is uninteresting, a seasoned actor (Lacey) can still make it sound natural/believable. An interesting script will stick out like a sore thumb when a novice actor performs the lines. The performance (or lack there of) in the movie will go unnoticed. It's on Hallmark. An obscure cable station. If it was on one of the 4 major networks, the general public would have picked up on it. Every time that movie is played, Mariah is going to receive royalties for the songs she wrote. Mariah needed to get her foot in the door before it closed. There will be no nail in any coffins or massive fall outs. The Merriest Christmas special was dubbed as any pre-taped performance for tv would be. Even the precious 95 MSG/Japan performances many people hang on to were dubbed. The dub for the Christmas Melody was excellent. Kudos for Mariah having management on her team with a television background. No one but the actual people that attended the taping would know if she "lipped" or not. Regardless of that, the special was excellent and was an excellent recovery from last year's debacle. (Tuesday 22 December 2015; 2:04)

Re: Stella (58,621) (58,623) by Giovanni from USA She is. Well thanks for letting me know. I'm just tired of seeing her with Mariah in every pic. There's something strange about her. (Tuesday 22 December 2015; 1:48)

Re: A Christmas Melody (58,609) (58,622) by Liz Archer from Sweden Just because I have been a fan of Mariah's music since early nineties doesn't mean I will automatically love everything she does. I'm a fan with my own opinions. If I'm not in love with one of her projects doesn't make me less of a fan. You should be allowed to recognize something isn't super terrific and still be loving her other work. (Tuesday 22 December 2015; 1:33)

Re: Stella (58,619) (58,621) by Lee TS from USA She's the manager. (Tuesday 22 December 2015; 0:57)

Re: A Christmas Melody (58,608) (58,620) by Giovanni from USA Really, why? It's so bad lol. Even if was written by Mariah I'd still feel the same way. (Tuesday 22 December 2015; 0:45)

Stella (58,619) by Giovanni from USA I'm I the only one who is tired of seeing Stella in just about every picture taken of Mariah? She seems to be with Mariah everywhere she goes. Who is she? (Tuesday 22 December 2015; 0:42)

A Christmas Melody (58,617) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Christmas movies (especially those made by Halmark - who are in the business of making sentimental heartfelt greeting cards) are intended to be soft, heartwarming, centered on children, a sense of innocence and family togetherness. Yes they are cheesy, corny and over the top. I mean for those saying the film is awful, have you actually seen other films Hallmark has produced? You might change your mind about Mariah's movie if you have. Lol. For a lot of people, Christmas movies in all their sentimentality, and corny jokes are part of the festivities of the season. Not everything has the weight of her entire career on it. It's a Christmas movie intended to be fun. I think most people can see that pretty objectively. The film is not an embarrassment to me, and I'll be adding it to my MC related Christmas festivities. I think Mariah made this film in the spirit of how a child would watch a movie at Christmas. Honestly, I feel her character is more of a cameo, and the character is exaggerated in the way children see things as bigger than they are. The contract also puposely draws attention to the main characters in the film. (Monday 21 December 2015; 23:18)

"Joy To The World" (remix) live (58,616) by Billy from Greece I just can't get enough of her incredible "nostalgic" homage to the 1994 performance of JTTW remix, not to mention those epic intros. The woman has been giving stellar after stellar performance these past few weeks. I'm so happy that these videos circulate on YouTube. (Monday 21 December 2015; 21:28)

AIWFCIY #18 on Billboard Hot 100 (58,615) by enwar00 from usa New peak. I hope it goes top 10. Of course 19th #1 would be amazing but that seems like a long shot. (Monday 21 December 2015; 21:20)

Re: Diva devotee (58,611) (58,614) by Billy from Greece I also love this site and I'm happy I got to understand to some degree the technical aspects of singing. The commentary is indeed pretty interesting. (Monday 21 December 2015; 20:49)

More praise for A Christmas Melody (58,613) by Marissa from USA I think MC kept it cute by making her role significant enough to be memorable but also letting the more seasoned actors take center stage. If every character in the movie would have been as tongue in cheek as Melissa Atkinson then I would agree that the movie wouldn't have been good, but the contrast between the serious characters and her petty, shadiness made it interesting rather than cringeworthy to me. (Monday 21 December 2015; 20:17)

MC Christmas special (58,612) by Ardis Logic from Earth Thank you for the link to be able to watch it by the way. This was pure heaven, or as I like to call it "Mariah church". She looked and sounded perfect. I don't watch TV, and don't own one, so I was not able to see her movie, but hopefully it will be available online soon. (Monday 21 December 2015; 18:57)

Diva Devotee (58,611) by Warren from Trinidad & Tobago I love this website, the discourse gets a bit technical for me and searching through older posts is tedious, but just type in a particular performance in Google and the direct link should appear. At least people are getting the memo about the vocal improvements. (Monday 21 December 2015; 18:37)
