Re: Article: Mariah Carey celebrates Joe Biden and Kamala Harris (98,880) (98,882) by Anonymous from UK I'm not here for anything "Lets Go Brandon", but in response to your comment on American politics and foreigners, I gotta say that U.S politics do, unfortunately, affect the entire world, and it's normal for us to have a vested interest in them. The world is more of a web than ever now, and what happens in one of the major world players, especially the U.S., has consequences for us all. (Monday 8 November 2021; 13:52)

Mariah's new song (98,881) by Rene from US Since the I heard the song, it reminded me of a song somewhere in my subconscious. And I knew it wasn't a Mariah song. Because in my head, I remembered a different arrangement. I couldn't remember which one. Today, it hit me which one. It sounds to me like Toni Braxton's "Spanish Guitar". I like the new song but it is confusing how they have the breakdown. It sounds like two songs. They could've just made two songs instead. The lyrics from each section, slow part versus uptempo, also doesn't sound so cohesive. I don't know. It sounded romantic at first then it goes into a churchy mode. (Monday 8 November 2021; 08:18)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey celebrates Joe Biden and Kamala Harris (98,876) (98,880) by Anonymous from USA It just amazes me how many people that don't live in the US are so invested in our politics. Like Damian in Mean Girls said "she doesn't even go here", also this is a Mariah Carey blog/fan site and not a political platform. Let's not bring politics into this especially when you know nothing about the everyday struggles of Americans. Stick to what you know. (Monday 8 November 2021; 06:31)

Re: New Christmas song (98,874) (98,879) by Ciaran from Ireland "For me, the form is so obvious it borders on trite but, alas we are all differently abled when it comes to discerning structure." Rarely has a sentence been more grammatically erroneous and cognitively repugnant. Or just totally, totally pretentious. (Monday 8 November 2021; 03:48)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey celebrates Joe Biden and Kamala Harris (98,876) (98,878) by Ricardo from New Zealand Only a Kiwi would be this cheeky. (Monday 8 November 2021; 03:03)

Babyface (98,877) by Bobby A from United States I find it very odd that MC has never worked with Babyface since Daydream. I wonder why she has passed him over for James Poyser and Big Jim Wright. His sound evolved after Daydream for sure. His production and arrangements on Tori Kelly's Christmas album proves that. MC better bring it with MC16 in 2022. (Monday 8 November 2021; 01:47)

Re: MC home videos (98,861) (98,875) by Bill from the UK They're there for pre-order (released December 7th). For those that don't have the DVDs, they are £5 each. The First Vision is £9 and Tokyo Dome is £11. So glad TFV is being released as the DVD from Japan is far too expensive. Plus I doubt this will have the Japanese sub titles throughout the interview with MC either. (Sunday 7 November 2021; 19:56)

New Christmas song (98,874) by Geronimo from USA I enjoy this song far more than "Oh Santa" and less than "Miss You Most". I do love the texture of her voice on this recording and I'm glad she settles into a groove and avoids somersaulting all over the bass and treble clefs. It's beyond me how someone can say this song lacks form, though. I felt the form could have been a bit more complex in the first half of the song but, at the same time, I really love Mariah's voice nowadays when she's singing a well contained melody. For me, the form is so obvious it borders on trite but, alas we are all differently abled when it comes to discerning structure. But, as always, I could have lived forever without any of the visuals and without any audio from brother Franklin - but that's just me. (Sunday 7 November 2021; 18:55)

Re: Fall in Love at Christmas (98,864) (98,873) by Bill from the UK You're spot on with this post. (Sunday 7 November 2021; 14:28)

Re: Fall in Love at Christmas (98,870) (98,872) by SM from Citizen of the World I thought it was Friday-Thursday? For instance, "Easy on me" came out on a Thursday at 7pm, 5 hours before the chart week ended. The song debuted at #68. The following week it went to #1 after a full week of the song being released. (Sunday 7 November 2021; 12:45)

Re: Mariah should have stayed with Roc Nation (98,859) (98,871) by Nicole from US Probably not. On the iTunes Store it says on the bottom 2021 Mariah, under exclusive license to RCA Inspiration, a division of Sony Music Entertainment. Which one is the studio company in here? (Sunday 7 November 2021; 07:06)

Re: Fall in Love at Christmas (98,869) (98,870) by Bobby A from United States I was corrected on Twitter by a chart expert. She said that the chart week runs from Thursday through Friday and streaming is not high enough right now to make that kind of prediction. gslay-@ari_ grandslay23 is my go to follower keep everybody posted. She really knows all about Billboard's chart calculation. She said also that AIWFCIY will still have a good chance to be number #1 by Christmas despite Adele's 30 and Easy chart domination right now. It is going to be an interesting next six weeks. (Saturday 6 November 2021; 22:48)

Re: Fall in Love at Christmas (98,867) (98,869) by Terna from Nigeria Stop it. Haha. (Saturday 6 November 2021; 20:54)

Too much hype (98,868) by Edward from USA According to the way Mariah was hyping up this song, one could've inferred she had a hidden gem or something. When editing out anything after the minute 3:35, I make the song somewhat passable. Sadly, evidenced by whatever is happening in this song vocally, Mariah has kind of turned into a "one trick whistle". I know I'll be crucified before Thanksgiving here, but there's no way Tony would've allowed her to put this song out, but oh well. It is what it's not. (Saturday 6 November 2021; 20:46)

Re: Fall in Love at Christmas (98,864) (98,867) by Bobby A from United States Some Lambs are reporting that streaming and sales are so high that it is possible for FILAC to debut at #1 on the Hot 100 Tuesday. (Saturday 6 November 2021; 18:44)

Re: Latin inspired Christmas song? (98,845) (98,866) by TJ from Norway It's good to know I'm not the only one. I really, really don't understand why this song is released, or even made. Not my cup of tea. (Saturday 6 November 2021; 17:52)

Re: Music video fail? (98,854) (98,865) by Sasha from Nomansland She's acting like she's having an affair with the pillar in the video. It looks a bit weird. (Saturday 6 November 2021; 17:25)

Fall in Love at Christmas (98,864) by Terna from Nigeria Um, no, just no. I don't like it at all and here's exactly why. The song has no form, no memorable hook nor distinct melody line one can sing along to. Khalid bless him is as bland a male singer as I have ever heard just there, he adds absolutely nothing to the song and at some point it sounds like he's just singing along trying to catch up. It's obvious this wasn't a collaborative "duet" ("When Christmas Comes" with John Legend like we don't have enough of those hideous "duets") and he's just tagging along. Recall when her and Whitney scored "When You Believe" before the final vocals and knew exactly when to come in and when not to, so it doesn't sound muddy? This song lacks that and comes across as muddy and rushed, all over the place and just not up to Mariah Carey standards. I am not impressed. Next. (Saturday 6 November 2021; 12:48)

Re: Daniel Moore III (98,857) (98,863) by Terna from Nigeria Ok wow, he's playing on "Portrait"? Then he kinda has potential. I also love the piano interlude on the WBT Valentine mix after the song ends. Very nostalgic. (Saturday 6 November 2021; 12:09)

Fall In Love (98,862) by Nicole from US In the veins of My All and After Tonight but it definitely sounds like Toni Braxton's Spanish Guitar. Honestly I need the lyrics in front of me because I'm more visual than auditory. (Saturday 6 November 2021; 02:48)

Re: MC home videos (98,853) (98,861) by Jamie from UK I was just on iTunes Store on Marian's page and they were there. (Saturday 6 November 2021; 00:02)

Re: Fall In Love (98,852) (98,860) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada It is not like her other Christmas music in my opinion and likely will reflect that by not doing much chart wise but I think the arrangement is really beautiful myself. ❤️ (Friday 5 November 2021; 23:42)

Mariah should have stayed with Roc Nation (98,859) by T from USA I am sincerely worried about her next few releases. Never mind a studio album, does she even have a record label? (Friday 5 November 2021; 23:28)

Re: Daniel Moore III (98,856) (98,858) by Bobby A from United States Yes. Portrait, Close My Eyes (Acoustic 2020), and We Belong Together ( Mimi's Valentine's Mix). (Friday 5 November 2021; 22:06)
