Re: 20th #1? (96,860) (96,864) by RibbonB from USA Exclusive means its limited to Apple. Perhaps that's how Apple wants it. (Monday 7 December 2020; 00:05)

Anyone wanna join me? (96,863) by Andrew from the United Kingdom There's lots of room in here. And it's wicked fun when the wine is flowing. (Monday 7 December 2020; 00:02)

What (96,862) by . from . Yes, let's say that anything against Andrew is a thing. He can say his thing, so I'll say my thing - he's an inappropriate insertion here. I'm back here now and I will post yet again my own thoughts and feelings about life, if Eric allows it, as I should. And I will stand tall and say my bit. Too much wine? TJ, please discreetly question other folks wine intake before you ask or criticise mine. (Sunday 6 December 2020; 22:17)

Re: I'm back (96,853) (96,861) by Tijl from Belgium A few splashes were had, for sure. (Sunday 6 December 2020; 20:03)

Re: 20th #1? (96,841) (96,860) by We are lambily from USA This industry is so shady and all about politics since Mariah did an exclusive with Apple Music, Spotify are really salty and decided not to add the song to any major playlists. They didn't even highlight the single on Ariana page, since she has around 70 million monthly followers who listen to her, it would benefit the song greatly. The song is doing amazing with pure sales and today is the day the song gets counted for radio. Let's hope for an Christmas miracle. (Sunday 6 December 2020; 20:01)

Re: Signal to MC (96,848) (96,859) by Slipping Butterfly from United States Because she a 50 year old artist that's 30 years into her career. No record label is putting money into that. The traditional music business is dying, putting huge money into Mariah makes no sense business wise. Lambs need stop acting Mariah is still 25, he'll even 35. (Sunday 6 December 2020; 19:52)

Worldwide iTunes chart: number 1 and 2 (96,858) by MusicfanJ from Germany Wow I just saw this. Congratulations MC. It seems like she is the ultimate Christmas queen. Of course for us she is so much more. I remember when I got the Christmas album in 99 together with "The ones". Who knew that Mariah would conquer the charts in 2020 again with her Christmas songs. She is a miracle for sure. (Sunday 6 December 2020; 19:48)

St. John the Divine concert (96,857) by MusicfanJ from Germany I still love this one. On my sound system it really sounds like you are in that church. The remixes are also fun. With some apple punch the house is rocking. Love the deluxe album. (Sunday 6 December 2020; 19:33)

Tribute To Heroes September 21, 2001 broadcast (96,856) by Yvon Martin from Canada Hi all. Would anyone have a copy of "Tribute to Heroes", not the December release but the original broadcast that aired on September 21st, 2001? Willing to pay for it. Merci, Martin. (Sunday 6 December 2020; 19:31)

Re: I'm back (96,847) (96,855) by Edward from USA If that's how you think you will destroy Andrew, it's very evident you must be on crack or something. (Sunday 6 December 2020; 18:39)

Oh Santa 2010 girl group (96,854) by T from USA Everyone always wanted the vocal trinity, what if Oh Santa was originally released with Mariah, Celine and Whitney? (Sunday 6 December 2020; 17:10)

Re: I'm back (96,852) (96,853) by TJ from Norway I think someone drank bottles of wine before that message was written. (Sunday 6 December 2020; 14:59)

Re: I'm back (96,847) (96,852) by Todd from Melbourne, Australia Can we not do this anti Andrew thing again? It's Christmas for smurfs sakes. Heads up though - for somebody that can't stand him, you seem pretty damn obsessed just quietly. (Sunday 6 December 2020; 13:06)

Ariana (96,851) by RoRo from PH First verse she looked shy/bored but that did a full 180 when they switched spots for the climax. You could see the glee in her eyes trading lines with her long-time idol. This was to me kind of reminiscent with Mariah being able to duet with Aretha on Divas Live back in the day. After the harmonized whistles, Ariana did cute little jumps. So adorable. (Sunday 6 December 2020; 11:52)

Re: Rumour has it (96,837) (96,850) by RoRo from PH Mariah was clearly having a good time in the video, I don't think she'd have issues actually shooting it with them physically. I mean, she invited them to re-record it to begin with. I get COVID obviously is a factor but not really buying into the whole "she only agreed to do it if she was shot separately" thing. Sounds like early 2000s tabloid fodder lol. Also, she actually touched JHud, that would look super shady if that was digital editing. And like someone else said, the eye contact between her and Ariana would have been an editing nightmare. But who knows, right? (Unless maybe there are receipts?) Also possible they're holding back on photos for subsequent promotion in the next few days/weeks? (Sunday 6 December 2020; 11:48)

Re: 20th #1? (96,841) (96,849) by TJ from Norway No. (Sunday 6 December 2020; 10:33)

Re: Signal to MC (96,842) (96,848) by TJ from Norway And the big question is: Why is it like this? Why isn't the record company supporting her projects like back in the days? (Sunday 6 December 2020; 10:32)

I'm back (96,847) by . from . I've been a "lurker" here for a while due to - Mr Andrew - yes, because I couldn't stand being abused by a supposed person. Even though I have been here since 2002. And even though I actually had the most liked comments here. I tried to make a better moment for us, Andrew, which you (dis)respectfully ended. So let me clarify. You called me "old Anthony" whilst I am younger than you. You also said my husband left me? Wrong. I left her. Not that it's any of your business but she is now choosing to take control of her own life. But was I "dumped"? No. For the board - all I said about this individual is that he sounds like a crazed entity as he often does. I've also been diagnosed as aspergers. Please, make fun of me some more or claim I'm less worth listening to. I confided in someone who was so vile but I've had my diagnosis that I "wasn't right". In that baby girl voice. You don't care but now neither do I. Oh, and btw, I'm younger than you. I tried to make up with you. You smurfed me over but no worries. Merry Christmas sweetie. Try and out do me and I will destroy you. Merry Christmas my love. (Sunday 6 December 2020; 04:36)

Re: Signal to MC (96,842) (96,846) by T from USA She's being managed by Roc Nation, why can't Jay get a good Beyonce duet happening? There are ways around the ageism and label constraints. Mariah is so much more than just Christmas music but I'm afraid that is all she will become. (Sunday 6 December 2020; 01:45)

Re: 20th #1? (96,841) (96,845) by Bobby A from United States I think it will make it to number #1. It has been number one on iTunes since yesterday. I heard it on V103 radio in Atlanta this morning. (Sunday 6 December 2020; 01:40)

Where's Ari? (96,844) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia I just love how Mariah said it. How I wish Mariah would donned a ponytail though. (Sunday 6 December 2020; 01:01)

Re: 20th #1? (96,841) (96,843) by Aliya from Canada From what I see, Oh Santa. is #1 on iTunes in Canada. And #2 is All I Want for Christmas is You. She is dominating. (Sunday 6 December 2020; 00:58)

Re: Signal to MC (96,836) (96,842) by 123 from USA Mariah is well aware that working with artists of the day will help her chart. Anyone with a brain knows this. What people have failed to notice is, unless it's a Christmas project, the label ain't paying for an A list top tier artist to appear on her albums. They wouldn't pay for Cardi to jump on A No No. if you notice, Epic has only put money into anything Christmas related. They pull out all the stops and pour money and marketing into it because they have proven, guaranteed monetary returns. Caution was the first album that Mariah got an embarrassing low amount of support from the label and their budget for radio was restricted to AC stations only (no other radio formats were sent With You to even have the option to play) or Urban AC for A No No months after the project was released and already lost any kind of possible momentum. Had they put the money in and sent GTFO to all formats it would have made a splash and peaked interested because it was quite shocking to hear Mariah use a cuss word in a chorus and yet sound so good. I have a sneaking suspicion that either A, Ariana was a second choice to Kelly Clarkson who may have pulled out because of scheduling conflicts or B, because attaching her to a Christmas song was the only way the label would cough up money to pay for both Ariana and JHud and also get Apple TV to fund the video/performance. Not sure if this is a strategy for Mariah to prove to the label that if they pay for top tier collaborations, that they will make a nice profit in return. I'm hoping she gets success off this collaboration so that the label starts giving her the budget she needs for her next project, especially when it comes to radio promo and marketing. Mariah is not a streaming artist and needs to be played and pushed on major radio formats to see any type of future success along with a high profile feature. All she needs is one hit to get the funding and backing from the label that she deserves. (Saturday 5 December 2020; 23:58)

20th #1? (96,841) by Lady B from USA Do you think Oh Santa remix will reach #1? Anyone know how it is tracking? (Saturday 5 December 2020; 21:50)

The special (96,840) by Kyle Anthony from United States I was expecting to enjoy it as a fan, but got so much more out of this special. I forced a lot of friends and family to watch it with me at midnight, from our separate quarantine caves. Not only did they love the special, most of them had emotional responses to it. My mom bawled like a baby. Andrew's post was spot on, the quality was impeccable. Everything looked and sounded great. Also have to agree about Sleigh Ride: camp perfection. The new vocals and tweaked arrangements were shockingly good. Mariah's rested voice is honestly the best part of 2020. I've been listening on repeat out of enjoyment, not duty. Highlights for me: 1) Sleigh Ride 2) O Holy Night - I thought Mariah's original was perfect. The updated version is even better. 3) Oh Santa - We all knew that harmonic whistle was coming, and it didn't disappoint. Bliss. (Saturday 5 December 2020; 20:40)
