Christmas time is in the air again (36,848) by Stacey from USA I am thrilled this song is being promoted as a single. I absolutely love it. For an album that falls flat to me, this song is an absolute gem. I don't mind the soft vocals because when the song hits the climax, MC hits that amazing note. Combine that with the stellar arrangement, and this song is just perfect. Her performance was amazing too. You can tell she sung it live because some of the notes were a bit flat/sharp in some spots. Not criticizing her at all. No, no, no. Just saying it's live, since many of us, me included, have gotten after MC for lipping too much sometimes. If anyone comes across a HQ mp3 for this performance, I'd love to have it. Thanks. (Wednesday 28 November 2012; 21:06)

Oh Mariah (36,845) by John from USA I love how all the articles about the Christmas Rockefeller performance are all talking about her cleavage. Why can't it just be about the music? Why can't she just cover it up, especially for a holiday performance? I mean, c'mon, you're a mom now.Cover it up a little lol. (Wednesday 28 November 2012; 20:40)

Rockefeller 2012 (36,844) by Ryan from the Philippines Oh dear, I've just watched Mariah's performance on YouTube and I thought it was so fantastic. She looked so relaxed and confident, and she looked amazing. I enjoyed Christmas Time Is In The Air Again performance alot. It was perfect. And if I wasn't deaf or what, I think she sang 100% live fo both songs. She is just so back. (Wednesday 28 November 2012; 17:42)

Christmas Time Is In The Air Again / Christmas playlist (36,843) by Chase from USA This is one of my favorite songs on MCIIY. I hope it is successful as a single. I worked retail last year and occasionally heard this song at the mall. I made a playlist that combines both of Mariah's Christmas albums, and I was impressed by how well they mix together. I recommend other lambs do the same. The albums enhance each other. (Wednesday 28 November 2012; 15:46)

Christmas tree lighting (36,842) by Will from England After watching the videos posted on YouTube, I'm speechless. Whatever vocal problems/illness she had a while ago, are gone. She sounds great. Don't get me started on Christmas Time Is In The Air Again, that was a flawless performance and she didn't lip. She went for the big note, she hit the note, and she held it. Can't fault it in any way. Someone below mentioned her vocals at Morocco, well, they aren't here anymore. (Wednesday 28 November 2012; 10:04)

Christmast Time Is In The Air Again (36,841) by enwar00 from usa Awesome new single. I hope we get to hear it everywhere. Just thinking about that song now is making me feel good about the season. (Wednesday 28 November 2012; 7:37)

Re: Paul/ Morocco (36,840) by enwar00 from usa I watched the Morocco concert a couple months ago and really enjoyed it. I do remember during Underneath The Stars I was like this sounds and felt a little sad, but at least she was singing one of her favorites and something different. I've seen Mariah on every tour that she's brought to the States, and I have to say during Angels Advocate I was impressed with how awesome she sounded, even on older songs like Emotions. The crowd pretty much went nuts. Just my opinion. But I'd have to vote no to the hanging up of the mic. (Wednesday 28 November 2012; 7:33)

Re: Licia (36,839) by enwar00 from usa I so agree with you on the Nicki thing. I was even a fan and had her first album, but now I can't even help but get annoyed reading what she says. It's like, can you just shut up and get over yourself? (Wednesday 28 November 2012; 7:18)

Nicki (36,838) by Geezy from USA by way of NYC As family and a unit, can we all come together and not give this woman anymore shine on this messageboard. She's looking for attention for her flop album and its re release. We need to focus on our queen and not worry about all the other nonsense. (Wednesday 28 November 2012; 2:47)

Nicki/Christmas tree lighting (36,837) by Licia from USA I have been trying to ignore the Nicki debacle, but I can't. This is a classic case of when twitter ranting goes wrong. Girl shut it. I'm a black woman and I found nothing in Steven's statement racist. You can't go around calling racism every time someone criticizes you or because you didn't seem to get what they meant. She needs to read and comprehend what he was trying to convey with the Bob Dylan reference. What he said is true, AI is supposed to be about the contestants. Not Mariah or Nicki. On a happier note, I can't wait to see the Christmas tree lighting performance. Although I am a Scrooge when it comes to spending my money on gifts, the Christmas music makes me happy. Lol.

Happy Holidays (36,835) by Gilbert from USA Hi Mariah family. I know it's past Thanksgiving, but I wanted to wish everyone a happy one and a happy upcoming Christmas Holiday. I re-uploaded Mariah's Christmas albums to my phone so when I'm in the mood for Christmas music she is there for me. I wish everyone the best. Big big hug. (Tuesday 27 November 2012; 0:08)

Discography (36,834) by Jennifer from USA Does anyone have information about the different releases (as in international, special editions) for Merry Christmas II You? (Monday 26 November 2012; 20:36)

Rihanna (36,833) by Desiree from USA She has 12 number one hits and sometimes records may be broken, but we never know. (Monday 26 November 2012; 19:43)

Kris (36,832) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada My thoughts and prayers are with you and your fiancee. Surround yourselves with love as much as possible, and ask for support when you need it. I would be interested in taking a look at your list. You can email me here: deedre.statz@gmail.com (Monday 26 November 2012; 16:58)

Kris / discography / Aussie tour (36,831) by Tony Sciacchitano from Australia It was near impossible to get tickets for Mariah, but I got great ones still. In that week and a half, I have Christmas (25th), my birthday (29th), new years, then Mariah (3rd). Somebody (Whitney) up above saw the hard year I've had and said that this is your reward for pulling through it all, that's what I think. Also is there any way Kris can contact me in regard to his discography for sale? I've got a huge collection and am always looking for the few from around the world I need. Thanks. (Monday 26 November 2012; 10:55)

Kris (36,830) by Andy Tjondro from Indonesia Hi Kris, I'm so sorry about your fiance, hopefully you can help to finance the treatment and everything is gonna be just fine. Please send me the list of your collection to andy.tjondro@gmail.com. Thanks. (Monday 26 November 2012; 8:58)

Live in Morocco (36,829) by Paul from Usa Hello everyone. I hate to sound like a negative Nancy, but I am just sharing my thoughts. Has anybody seen the concert Mariah did in Morocco? Seems like there was absolutely no passion coming from Mariah. I've you search for the song Without You that she performed, it was terrible. If I remember correctly, that concert was kind of last minute. What are your opinions about this performance? I just don't feel like her heart is in the music anymore. Maybe it's time for her to hang up her mic. (Monday 26 November 2012; 7:20)

Roc at the piano (36,828) by RibbonB from USA That picture is absolutely priceless. It will be awesom if dem babies are musically inclined, especially if one or both are able to sing well. (Sunday 25 November 2012; 21:46)

Discography for sale (36,827) by Kris from USA Hello everybody. I have been a huge Mariah fan since the Fantasy video came out, and I started collecting Mariah singles since then. I have a wide variety of singles, promos, and rarities that I have been collecting since 1996 and include titles from all of Mariah's releases. Recently, the love of my life was diagnosed with cancer, and I am trying to help out with medical bills. I know I can sell these items on ebay, but I wanted to see if there was any way that I could sell the entire collection to one of Mariah's hugest fans and give them a good home. I am willing to submit a list of items to anyone who is interested. Please know that this is not a scam, and any money from these treasures of mine will go towards my fiance's treatment. I hate parting with these items, because I had planned on giving to my own kids when the time came, but, unfortunately, I don't have a lot of other options at this time. Any suggestions or interested parties would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read, and happy holidays. Remember to stay triumphant by any means necessary. (Sunday 25 November 2012; 20:53)

AIWFCIY (36,826) by Jamie from UK I think most of us can agree that "All I want for Christmas is you" will outlast Mariah's entire discography in popularity. It will transcend several generations because classic Christmas songs have that power. (Sunday 25 November 2012; 0:06)

Evergreens (36,825) by Zachary from Croatia Here in Europe, precisely in Croatia, I often hear on the radio the Whitney Houston song "I wanna dance with somebody" and very often the next one or a few after is Mariah's "Emotions". Same thing is with "I will always love you", after that goes "Without You". As for "AIWFCIY", that is an epic song, out of its league and there should be a new term for those kind of songs. "Get your number" bangs in clubs very often, and I don't mean in gay ones, because we don't have those here. "We belong together" is not very common here but "It's like that" is. I don't know why. I guess we all have our own evergreens in our hearts and ears but Honey and Emotions do the trick for me. (Saturday 24 November 2012; 17:12)

PH evergreens (36,824) by Lainsky from Philippines Yes, it depends on what country. Here in the 7,107 island of the Philippines, Mariah's classic hits that I hear from the radio (Pop and RnB respectively) often are Hero, I'll Be There, My All, Without You, Love Takes Time, Open Arms and Heartbreaker, Honey, Emotions, We Belong Together, Bye Bye, Don't Forget About Us, Always Be My Baby and of course All I Want For Christmas Is You. (Saturday 24 November 2012; 11:44)

This generation (36,823) by M from USA What happened to actual singing, apparently auto tune singers can have 12 number 1 hits. Ugh! I can't believe this is what is going after MC's crown. What a sad situation. We can pray MC's number 1's are not done. (Saturday 24 November 2012; 4:15)

Evergreens (36,821) by Matthew from USA I have to agree with everyone else that says AIWFCIY is Mariah's ultimate evergreen. The song gets played every Christmas without fail, and is considered to be a Christmas classic already. I would also consider "Hero" to be an evergreen. That song might not be on the radio anymore, but please believe that it gets trotted out whenever something bad happens. Whenever tragedy strikes and people start losing hope, Hero always makes an appearance. They played it during hurricane Katrina, it was the soundtrack to the firemen and rescue dogs looking for survivors in the ruins of 9/11. And it was even sung at the president's inauguration. So even though Hero is not on the radio, I would argue that it should probably get evergreen status. Let's not forget that when anyone on these singing competitions says they are going to sing Mariah, nine times out 10 it's Hero. Lol. I guess because it's easier to sing than most of her other stuff. And finally, Mariah tends to encore with Hero when she is on tour, so she probably thinks of it as her evergreen. So AIWFCIY and Hero. I'll Be There comes close as well, but MC's version is a cover, so I'm not sure if that counts. (Saturday 24 November 2012; 3:54)

Only one true evergreen for Mimi (36,820) by Edward from USA Mariah's true and only evergreen is "AIWFCIY". One hundred years from now, when none of us is around anymore, and when four new generations of people have come and gone, people will still listen to "All I Want For Christmas Is You", unless we come to a time when Christmas is no more. At that time people probably won't care who Mariah was, and they might not even know her name, but they'll know the title of the song and the amazing voice behind it. The same goes for Whitney and her rendition of "The Star Spangled Banner". So, if we go by the definition of evergreen, each one of them only has one true evergreen, the rest will fade in time like everything else. If we were to ask most of Rihanna's and Katy Perry's fans how many songs they can name from Elvis Presley or even the Beatles, since they weren't part of their reality, I can assure anybody they wouldn't be able to name one song, but Elvis had 17 #1's and the Beatles 20 #1's respectively. I personally know Elvis Presley and the Beatles were legends, but I wasn't part of their glory days, hence my lack of knowledge about their catalog. I can name a couple of Elvis songs, and probably 3 or 4 from the Beatles, but I'm 32 years old. It's a good thing though, that the Internet will keep expanding even wider, and if somebody wanted to research about music and who was that lady behind AIWFCIY, they'll be able to google it and find out. "AIWFCIY" will always be to Christmas as Whitney's "TSSB" will always be to US patriotism. (Saturday 24 November 2012; 3:02)
