"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.

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)

Re: Her face, beauty secrets (58,596) (58,610) by Ardis Logic from Earth She is truly stunning. I found this article that some of you might be interested in. MC shares her top skin and hair care secrets. If this woman ever decided to get into the skin care cosmetic world, and get a deal with a big name like Lancôme, she would make millions.

A Christmas Melody (58,609) by Natalia from Italy Those of you who are saying this movie was awful, what are you even doing here at a Mariah Carey fan message board? You are not a fan if you don't like her work and performances, so do yourselves, and all of us here a favor, and just buzz away. This movie is a masterpiece. It's everything you could want in a Christmas movie, directed by our queen of Christmas herself. Sure it has its small issues, but that itself makes it so iconic. This movie will be watched for decades to come, every Christmas from now on. (Monday 21 December 2015; 18:31)

Re: A Christmas Melody (58,607) (58,608) by Warren from Trinidad & Tobago I love Water From the Moon though. (Monday 21 December 2015; 18:05)

Re: A Christmas Melody (58,595) (58,607) by Giovanni from USA I always thought Mariah should have been the one to sing "Beauty and the beast" with Peabo Bryson. Not Celine. In fact if you listen to Celine's second album, which is a pretty good album, Mariah could have sang that whole album way better. Minus the two corny songs "Water from the moon" and "With this tear".

Re: Mariah Christmas (58,594) (58,606) by Warren from Trinidad & Tobago Hi Andrew, unlike others who try to say they don't read your posts, I do read all of them, and though you may come across as harsh, you're not exactly wrong about what you say. Maybe it is the cliche not what you say but how you say it. I don't know. However, I have always been afraid to have my throat ripped out by you so I never commented or responded to any of your posts, but I do have a question. Like everyone else, I was impressed with the Merriest Christmas special. With regards to God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, which to me was the most spectacular vocal of the show, how do you really know if its lipped? (serious question) That would mean its been re-recorded and then lipsynced, and we all know she can't lip effectively, hence always getting caught when she does. There was a change of delivery and a run on the word "to" (from 0.40-0.48 here) that seemed so darn live and awesome to me. What am I missing? (Monday 21 December 2015; 16:55)

Re: Mariah's new style (58,568) (58,605) by Warren from Trinidad & Tobago I completely agree. The gold print dresses in the Christmas specials were so beautiful (dem boobies covered but she still was totally sexy and confident). (Monday 21 December 2015; 16:29)

Re: Mariah Christmas (58,594) (58,597) (58,604) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah's acting in the movie was not the greatest, I will have to say that. It was off and she had plenty of room for improvement. I think she also kept shaking her head a whole lot which was not necessary. But overall I enjoyed the movie as a cheesy Christmas TV movie. (Monday 21 December 2015; 15:48)

2005 Riah (58,603) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter If Stella's daughter was not lurking in the background, I would have thought this is from 2005. This woman is seriously gorgeous. Love the red jacket. (Monday 21 December 2015; 15:46)

A Christmas Melody (58,602) by B from USA A Hallmark movie is chessy and corny like Fritos. If you were expecting an Emmy worthy performance from the talent associated with the program you clearly have no understanding of what the Hallmark channel is about. Nostaglia. Maybe being from across the pond is why some of you have no clue but Hallmark is below Lifetime in terms of quality. (Monday 21 December 2015; 14:44)

Re: A Christmas Melody / Mariah's Merriest Christmas (58,580) (58,599) by 90sMariah from SG I have to agree with you about the movie, it was atrocious lol. Mariah's acting was cringe-inducingly bad. Those tight shots whenever she had a speaking part. Lol. And that blur tool. (Monday 21 December 2015; 13:59)

Christmas Melody (58,598) by Liz Archer from Sweden I think the casting for the movie was well done. Many of the actors are people I love to see. I really liked the movie over all, it was very cute. I hate to say this but Mariah wasn't super great in this. I get the parody of her role but it just went a bit wrong. I think one of the main things why, is that her stand-alone scenes had a different lightning and they are just that, stand-alone (one of my biggest beefs in the movie). I also think that maybe "bitchy" isn't want people want to see from her. I don't associate that when I see Mariah. I think her larger than life singer personality is so strong that it feels weird to see her as anything else or maybe its what you don't want to see. You want to see more of a down-to-earth side. I don't know, overall the movie was better than I thought. I enjoyed it. (Monday 21 December 2015; 13:03)

Re: Mariah Christmas (58,594) (58,597) by May from Denmark Well Andrew, it's a Hallmark Christmas movie, it can't be as bad as the one with Tori Spelling and others alike. All those movies fall in the category of over cheesiness dipped in 1930s Vaseline on screen soft glow for face close ups. I haven't watch Mariah's movie but her acting in the trailer didn't convince me, a lot of people have actually said her acting is not very good in the movie but I can't judge because I still don't have time to sit through it. Would love to watch it just because it's her, as Christmas movies are generally utterly boring, filled with the same over the top sensitiveness and messages and terrible jokes. Aside of that, I don't think it's another nail in the coffin as you describe it though, it's a Christmas movie, I think everyone will take for what it is. (Monday 21 December 2015; 12:42)

Her face, beauty secrets (58,596) by JAXGH from United States WOW. So freaking beautiful. It has much more definition and it slimmed down. I'm assuming she had a no botox masseter procedure done since she probably over seeing her face bloated on the movie screen. This is not a shot at Mariah. Please. Most female celebrities get it for a more feminine face and it's non surgical, no harm at all. She looks honestly her best ever in the Merriest Christmas special. Like ridiculously gorgeous. Even better than 1997 MTV Music Awards or any 03, 05, 08, 13 looks. Freaking stunning my goodness. I don't know else what she does but I know uses milk and ice cubes to rejuvenate her face. Probably lots of honey facials. (She uses honey plus ginger for her voice too.) Collagen and scrubs. she has her own beauty cream, has one of the best make up artist (shout out Kristofer) and glam squad. Plus she probably learned theories of skin in beauty school. Cameron Diaz is around the same age and she looks like a disaster. Mariah literally still looks like she's in her late 20's. (early even) I think her secret power is water though, singers sip water all day everyday. Water is beautiful skin is gorgeous everything. Also since she has nodes, she must drink more than singers usually do. (Nodules make you hoarse super fast.) This is why Mariah will always be naturally beautiful. She really takes care of herself. Yay for our gorgeous queen. Forever beautiful dahlings. (Monday 21 December 2015; 11:44)

A Christmas Melody (58,595) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Just finished watching the movie. It was cute and fun. Let's not try to drag it down because it was never meant to be an Oscar winning movie. So I'll take it for what it is, a cute, cheesy, family oriented movie. It did a pretty good job. However my hope still remain that Mariah gets a role in a major budget movie or at least gets the main song in the sound track of a major movie. Best bet for that to happen as soon as possible is of course the "Beauty and the Beast" live action movie. (Monday 21 December 2015; 9:48)

Mariah Christmas (58,594) by Andrew from UK For years I have felt Mariah has embarrassed herself, crapped upon her legacy and made me doubt what it is I feel deep down about her. A crisis of conscience. The movie is as everyone expected: another nail in a coffin. What was she thinking? When she's in it it looks like she's in her own house phoning in the performance for others to act around. Awful. Vanity madness. Where were the people telling her to drop this? This is Glitter Christmas. Fallout from this will me massive. How to defend it? Well the Merriest Christmas concert was fantastic. Okay, so she lipped. Bothersome. But she sang. When she sang, she sang. And it seems like Mariah learned how to lip better now (eye brow depressions giving it away as always). I found myself sending the links to my friends. She looks absolutely stunning - physically reminded me of the Daydream photo shoot save for the hair. No ridiculous ball gown. And she has stage presence, she looks like a diva singer not a diva actress. Shocked. I'll watch this over and over. Something to shout about. The voice doesn't sound as arid as it did thi jot perfect. Perhaps the lipping in parts hides it. And Joy To The World is something to shout about. This is the range for her. Drop these Fantasy ranges. Just sing in the range that you can and bang it out. It sounds [censored] great when you do. More than ever convinced Mariah needs to let go of the reputation for elasticity to which she is clinging on, and sing in the register she can. It's sounding pretty good. There, I said it. That was good. The movie is like watching a fat man on the toilet from underneath. The concert was kinda cool. Here's to the O2. Bring it. I need it. Peace on Earth. (Monday 21 December 2015; 2:13)

Re: Charmbracelet (58,583) (58,592) by David F from Mexico Exactly, reminded me of those moments, true lamb. (Monday 21 December 2015; 1:34)

A Christmas Melody (58,591) by Marissa from USA Currently watching the movie. I think Lacey Chabert was a great casting choice for one of the lead roles. When I first saw the clip of MC's first scene a couple of weeks ago I was not feeling the acting, but now seeing Mariah's performance in context I'm actually enjoying it. So far, so cute. (Monday 21 December 2015; 1:04)

Love Merriest Christmas (58,590) by May from Denmark Finally had time to watch from beginning to end. I loved it so much I thought it was so short. She looked so gorgeous, I love she is back to that honey golden hair that matches her tanned bronze skin, she looked yummy like a gingerbread cookie haha. I liked all the songs choices but I was really wishing she would sing Charlie Brown Christmas, it's such a sweet song. Her pipes sounded amazing, I liked how much in control she seemed. Her dresses her divine, she is looking more toned every week and finally she changed those ginormous white/silvery/diamond earrings. A lovely show with a very pretty stage.
