Re: Christmas BPCH (Magic Continues) (99,047) (99,048) by Dennis from The Netherlands Thank you. People should be making Baby, Please Come Home a number one instead of wining. She and the song deserve it. (Monday 6 December 2021; 13:46)

Re: Christmas BPCH (Magic Continues) (99,044) (99,047) by Chicago Lamb from USA You guys are looking at "The Magic Continues" wrong. Think of it as a promo for FILAC. That's one hell of a platform to promote a new song, don't you think? And don't be surprised if Mariah shows up every year on Apple+ or an equivalent to promote a new song. Star power. BPCH wasn't bad at all with the band and production. Ya'll need to stop obsessing over her tone. Happy holidays everyone! (Monday 6 December 2021; 04:06)

Me thinking again (99,046) by Bobby A from United States Sitting here thinking why MC has to put whistle notes in every dog gone song. Is it a true observation to say that when she collaborated with Walter A. that his mellow and melodic chords kept her from even trying to come with song parts to fit in some whistle notes. Maybe too many whistle notes in every recording session has ruined her voice than anything. Have many of you remember Debelah Morgan? She knew when to put in whistle notes in the right song. MC overcompensates her ability to whistle. Just my thoughts today. I guess no live Christmas program this season. Lol. (Sunday 5 December 2021; 23:10)

Just watched (99,045) by Jamie from UK Ok I've just watch the magic continues. Whilst I liked it I can't help think what was the point with 2 songs. The interview was pointless really. I'd love to see a dressed down Mariah doing an interview, she's so wooden I'd like to see if there's any of the early Mariah still in there, the one that was quirky in interviews and relaxed.

Re: Christmas BPCH (Magic Continues) (99,042) (99,044) by Bobby A from United States Well, we can say one thing about this Christmas season. MC is crushing Spotify numbers with BPCH, AIWFCIY, and FILAC. FILAC has a good chance to make the Urban Top 20 in two weeks with the increased radio spins and Target Exclusive CD sales. I believe she is going to deliver some special gifts in 2022. (Sunday 5 December 2021; 21:01)

Re: Christmas BPCH (Magic Continues) (99,034) (99,043) by Jamie from UK I don't think it's too bad, it's by no means perfect, her voice is changed, but she's working with what she has now. We can't expect her to be perfect like she was back in the day. I'm just grateful she's still around and able to do these prime time shows for us. (Sunday 5 December 2021; 15:44)

Re: Christmas BPCH (Magic Continues) (99,039) (99,042) by T from USA This was recorded months ago, not in the winter (as winter doesn’t officially begin until December 21st). Plus this is all done in LA anyway. For example, FILAC was done in May/June of this past year. I actually think her true winter performances are better, like the Beacon shows. (Sunday 5 December 2021; 14:31)

Re: DJ Khaled (99,033) (99,041) by T from USA No she didn't get the message with Caution because it didn't become the hit it could've been. She even says she didn't like the process of making it (after the fact). Remember, Mariah always goes back to the times in her life when she was most successful and tries to recreate those sounds. That always puts her in a TEOM/EMC2 state of mind. If Caution was a runaway success then I truly believe she would continue down that road, now I'm afraid she doesn't know it. I too hope she works with producers she's never worked with, particularly Max Matin. (Sunday 5 December 2021; 14:25)

Re: Christmas BPCH (Magic Continues) (99,039) (99,040) by Bill from the UK In comparison though, the Grammy performance is incredible to this mess. We all criticised it at the time but "I'd give my all" to have her sounding like that again. (Sunday 5 December 2021; 12:21)

Re: Christmas BPCH (Magic Continues) (99,037) (99,039) by Bobby A from United States There is something going on with her voice in the fall/winter compared to the spring/summer. Her voice had such clarity and resonance on Somewhat Loved. Now we get a nasal forced vocal styling. It has to be the change in the weather. BPCH sounds really bad. I can't watch it again just like when she performed BPCH on the very first Grammy nominations primetime special. She sounded really hoarse and dry during that performance. I hope she rebounds for the new studio sessions next year. (Sunday 5 December 2021; 02:26)

Re: Christmas BPCH (Magic Continues) (99,036) (99,038) by Mara from United States I think the surprise could be the masterclass she is doing in 2022. She is doing a masterclass on how to use your voice to express yourself through music. She hasn't officially announced it but masterclass announced a few upcoming classes and she was one of them. (Sunday 5 December 2021; 02:15)

Re: Christmas BPCH (Magic Continues) (99,036) (99,037) by 123 from USA Visually speaking I loved the production. I was surprised that she changed up a few vocals on FILAC. I thought she was going to mime to the studio version. I like the new vocals to BPCH. I'll take full voice mid range Mariah vocals over whispery vocals anyday. I like the vocal choices she made and replaced high bells with high falsetto notes or whistles. Two small critiques. This was too short. It was almost like what is the point? She could have added a couple of other songs she didn't sing in the previous special to continue to push other Christmas songs especially the ones she wrote. She's been promoting that her voice is in the best condition it's been in a long time, but anytime she belts high on the new BPCH vocals, it sounds digitally altered and not in a good way. I hope she can really rest and stay away from vices that dissipates the voice. I need full voiced vocals on the next album. (Saturday 4 December 2021; 23:38)

Re: Christmas BPCH (Magic Continues) (99,034) (99,036) by SM from Citizen of the World If this was the surprise she was talking about awhile back... next please. And Mariah please don't do anymore interviews. (Saturday 4 December 2021; 16:38)

Re: Christmas BPCH (Magic Continues) (99,034) (99,035) by Bobby A from United States I haven't seen it yet. Was it that bad? (Saturday 4 December 2021; 15:33)

Christmas BPCH (Magic Continues) (99,034) by Bill from the UK Yikes. (Saturday 4 December 2021; 14:59)

Re: DJ Khaled (99,031) (99,033) by Shezz from Pk I think she got the memo when she recorded Caution. Wasn't he practically nonexistent on that album? It was definitely a step in the right direction. Here's hoping she takes that several steps further with MC16 now that she has the time to fully work on it at her own pace. I think the other producers let her take the wheel when they collaborate either out of awe or respect of working with her. My hope for MC16 is that she tries to keep things simple production wise and not muddle her songs with over production and numerous counter melodies and let the songs be singable and more coherent. There still is brilliance in all her songs. I just feel it gets lost in there. (Saturday 4 December 2021; 05:06)

Re: DJ Khaled (99,031) (99,032) by Warren from Trinidad & Tobago I think that's an inevitability we all need to be faced with. MC will always work with JD as long as she has full creative control over her career. She needs to at least listen to the advice of someone else at this stage if she hopes to ever be a non-Christmas artist at least once again. After that, I would be happy if she called it a day and only did one off performances like the WBT Valentines mix. (Friday 3 December 2021; 20:49)

DJ Khaled (99,031) by Bobby A from United States I think DJ Khaled saved his best track for Mary J. Blige. Her So Amazing track is on fire. I hope MC comes back this hard. I don't want any JD tracks on MC16. (Friday 3 December 2021; 18:28)

Re: Re: Two questions (99,024) (99,029) (99,030) by Matty from Vancouver Canada Awww so mixed reviews on the cookies. Bummer. I was hopping for oohy- gooy goodness. Cookies that are almost like cake, ya know? Anyone with info about what those cards are for, and why you'd buy them? In other news; can't wait to listen to the FILAC remixes. (Friday 3 December 2021; 17:31)

Re: Two questions (99,024) (99,029) by Littal from USA Sadly the cookies are a no. I was gifted 6 boxes of them last year - the cinnamon ones were pretty good but the rest would go uneaten. I tried bringing them to work and they were passed on. Too many other good cookie options in the NYC - levaine and Insomnia. (Friday 3 December 2021; 15:19)

2011 HSN Cares Mariah Carey butterfly ornament (99,028) by Jerry D Rivers from United States Hello everyone. I have a Facebook friend, one of those you add but don't know haha, who is a Mariah super fan. He just posted he has searched everywhere to replace his 2011 HSN Cares Mariah Carey butterfly ornament that he completely charished that two so called friends stole from him. This Christmas I'm trying to do something special at least for one person I don't completely know and would love help trying to find this to purchase to give to him as a gift. Any help locating one would be so appreciated. Jrivers22003@yahoo.com. Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone. May we all be blessed and feel the love. (Friday 3 December 2021; 12:49)

Jussie (99,027) by RL from USA Horrible person. Wish Mariah never did a duet with him. (Friday 3 December 2021; 03:15)

Side projects (99,026) by SM from Citizen of the World Out of all of Mariah's side projects, cookies, Black Irish, boosted packs, mac, McDonald's, etc. lol I really wish she would partner with a high end candle company and create a fragrance for everyone. Wouldn't have to be a holiday theme but anything would be cool or branch out and partner with a home decor store such as CB2? I would be all about that. (Friday 3 December 2021; 03:04)

Re: Two questions (99,024) (99,025) by RibbonB from USA The cookie looks good. (Friday 3 December 2021; 00:58)

Two questions (99,024) by Matty from Vancouver Canada First, has anyone tried Mariah's cookies and are the delish? (This is a commercial endeavour that I find fun, smart and relevant to the queen of Christmas brand that makes a lot of sense to me, so I'm not at all hating they simply aren't available in Canada and I'd love to know how good they taste.) Second, what are these cards from her wallet where she's wearing a Christmas marvel mask costume on the cover? I don't understand what they are or why one might purchase them? I used to look every year for a Mariah calendar or note book at the book stores when I was younger and could never find one. I'd buy those to this day, I just don't understand these drivers license things and what you do with them. (Thursday 2 December 2021; 19:19)
