Re: MC diamond edition (99,016) (99,023) by Will from England Problem is is that in the last two years we have had two Christmas albums, one of which was already a double disc feature and that was celebrating the anniversary of the Christmas album - a worthier reason to release it, plus new songs and everything else we've asked for. Another double disc would just be redundant at this point. It's a nice idea, but not a good enough reason to release it. (Wednesday 1 December 2021; 23:24)

Re: Adele Vegas residency at Caesars (99,021) (99,022) by RibbonB from USA Adele is doing Vega vs. a world tour because of Covid. Mimi is smart to lay low and do her Christmas routine as she has nothing new out and why take the risk and create the expense of a flop during a pandemic? Things are different now especially for an artist like Mimi. (Wednesday 1 December 2021; 21:15)

Re: Adele Vegas residency at Caesars (99,020) (99,021) by T from USA No more Vegas for MC please. Mariah needs to go out into the world and reconnect with her fans. In Australia, South America, Canada and the UK. If she hides in Vegas she will eventually fade away in the worlds markets. (Wednesday 1 December 2021; 19:23)

Adele Vegas residency at Caesars (99,020) by Mara from United States So I know that this is not an Adele board and hate bringing her up again but saw the news about her going to Vegas now and can't help to wish it was Mariah. I know, I know, she has done it before and yes I am happy for Adele and her fans but I guess I just miss seeing M. Especially her magical Christmas shows at the Beacon. I hope one day she returns there again. I don't know who represents Adele, but she certainly seems to be the new "It girl" who can do no wrong in the industry and public's eye. They are really pushing her. She has so much going on right now. Da*n COVID. We miss you M. (Wednesday 1 December 2021; 03:55)

Re: Probably no likes (99,011) (99,019) by Terna from Nigeria I don't look forward to any duets of Mariah with other artists, it always comes across as distracting. Chaka Khan gave the analogy of artists being like planets, she says they don't always have to collaborate, each is his own entity and fares better solo. This applies to Mariah too. She's said it in words, with "The meaning of Mariah Carey". Now it's time to speak through the music, which is the best way she knows how to after all. Sing from the heart like you used to, almost as if you have a point to prove, which in a way you do - the younger generation don't know much about her at all, they don't even know the triumph that was "The Emancipation Of Mimi" era, to them she's just a Christmas act now (have you seen those "Mariah Carey is defrosting" memes? lol, the disrespect), which we all know is far from the way it really is. It's time for her to sit with herself and rewrite the narrative, tell the story the best way only you can tell it. I want to experience Mariah Carey again like I did when I was a little boy, If there's anyone who can do it, she's the one. Industry politics, ageism and all. (Tuesday 30 November 2021; 18:29)

The #1's MC's "Someday" (99,018) by Chicago Lamb from USA Webmaster: It seems you inadvertently skipped over Stereogum's "Someday" inclusion. Here you go for all to enjoy! (Tuesday 30 November 2021; 02:48)

Re: Mariah and BTS (99,015) (99,017) by SM from Citizen of the World Only two songs? (Monday 29 November 2021; 21:04)

MC diamond edition (99,016) by T from USA Wouldn't it be cool for a release of a diamond edition of Merry Christmas? It could include Fall In Love At Christmas, Where Are You Christmas and a few new songs. I think she's at the point now that she could group all her original songs onto one disc, and of course an additional disc with all her Christmas covers (for the traditionalists). Who else would love a double disc MC diamond edition album? (Monday 29 November 2021; 19:59)

Re: Mariah and BTS (99,008) (99,015) by T from USA Yes. Two songs and an interview. (Monday 29 November 2021; 19:16)

Re: Probably no likes (99,012) (99,014) by RibbonB from USA Adele did it first with her Easy on Me country collab and hit. Mimi has missed that boat. (Sunday 28 November 2021; 20:01)

Re: Probably no likes (99,012) (99,013) by Bobby A from United States Great minds think alike. I want her to take more risks with her music. The same formula is not going to work for an ever changing music industry. Artists are giving people something new and fresh. We will see what 2022 brings us. (Sunday 28 November 2021; 17:22)

Re: Probably no likes (99,011) (99,012) by MusicfanJ from Germany Robert-Anthony you read my mind. I swear I just bought the CD Traveller last week, because I'm addicted to the soulful "Tennessee Whiskey". And just yesterday I was thinking the same. How would it sound if they had a duet song together. Music for "grown-ups" with great lyrics and soul. Mariah and Chris, yes, yes, yes. (Sunday 28 November 2021; 11:35)

Probably no likes (99,011) by Bobby A from United States I was thinking today that Mariah Carey and Chris Stapelton should record a duet together. I love his southern soulful voice. He is a great songwriter too. It would interesting to see what they would come up with. His voice is buttery soul like John Legend's voice. (Saturday 27 November 2021; 23:16)

Re: Joy to the world (Celebration Remix) (99,009) (99,010) by MusicfanJ from Germany Oh I mixed it up. Thanks for the info. And you can really listen to it all year long. (Saturday 27 November 2021; 22:12)

Re: Joy to the world (Celebration Remix) (99,006) (99,009) by Bill from the UK I agree this is one of her best club mixes, but it was a collaboration with David Morales, not C&C. ?? (Saturday 27 November 2021; 19:13)

Re: Mariah and BTS (99,005) (99,008) by Bobby A from United States So is the special only 18 minutes long? (Saturday 27 November 2021; 19:08)

I hope she fully signs to RCA (99,007) by T from USA When you google the CEO, president and head of A&R they are all real record people. And pioneers of getting hip hop to the mainstream back in the day. They had major success with Alicia Keys among others and are currently getting H.E.R. over big time. This way she could still be linked with Sony for her back catalogue but with 52 Grammy nominations this year I think it's the way to go. Plus Khalid and Kirk are both there too. (Saturday 27 November 2021; 17:55)

Joy to the world (Celebration Remix) (99,006) by MusicfanJ from Germany One of her best remixes. And we all know she has many. I also love the video, so much fun. C&C remixes were all so good. (Saturday 27 November 2021; 17:50)

Mariah and BTS (99,005) by T from USA There was rumours that a Christmas song with these artists was in the works. Now it appears it didn't happen and BTS is doing it anyway. I wonder if the Christmas special on Apple was cut short because she didn't agree to do the single? Last year she had a song with Ariana Grande and the special was given so much money. This year the excuse was Covid restrictions but I feel last year was way more restrictive. I think she doesn't want to play the corporate game anymore. And that may cost her some future success.

Re: Article: Mariah Carey teases biopic based on her book (99,001) (99,004) by Lady B from USA Ok, who should play all the main characters? (Friday 26 November 2021; 22:28)

Re: Baby Please Come Home (99,002) (99,003) by Jamie from UK But still we have the originals, I wouldn't give it too much thought, she's the artist if she want to do these things it's up to her. (Thursday 25 November 2021; 17:54)

Re: Baby Please Come Home (98,999) (99,002) by T from USA In some of the new interviews she says she would like to redo a lot of her stuff. Possibly the whole Christmas album will be done over in her image. She's done like twelve interviews, imagine she put this much effort when a brand new piece of work comes out like Caution? It would have been heard by so many more people. (Thursday 25 November 2021; 13:51)

Article: Mariah Carey teases biopic based on her book (99,001) by Angel from USA I always thought a biopic should have been in a place. (Thursday 25 November 2021; 01:23)

Re: St John The Devine (98,990) (99,000) by Jamie from UK Aww I hope you get in the Christmas mood soon. I've put my tree up early this year and emerging myself in Christmas Mariah. (Wednesday 24 November 2021; 20:53)

Re: Baby Please Come Home (98,991) (98,999) by Jamie from UK I just see it as she wanted to make a different version for the Christmas special, we still have the original and now we get another version too. As for getting rid of Walter he would still remain on the original credits for production whether she did a new version or not. The song isn't hers anyway so doubt don't Sony would get much money off her royalties. I think it's great she's inspired to do new things and change things up for new projects. It shows she still cares and is interested rather than just putting out something that's been the same for 20+ years. As an artist your bound to see floors in past work and want to change it, it's not like she said she hates the whole Merry Christmas album she probably would just have liked the arrangement different for that one song.
