Re: Apple TV (96,749) (96,750) by Andrew from the United Kingdom No problem. Good luck with it. The Christmas special actually looks pretty decent. I am nervous for cringeworthy lip-syncing, though. (Monday 30 November 2020; 12:43)

Re: Apple TV (96,747) (96,749) by Bobby A from United States Thank you for your offer Andrew, but I don't know about using your password. I would like to set up my own account. (Monday 30 November 2020; 10:46)

Re: That Mariah power (96,742) (96,748) by Lady B from USA Couldn't agree more. At Christmas I listen to the 2 MC Christmas albums, Motown Christmas and some of the classics. That's basically it. My favorite time of year. Can't believe it's already December. (Monday 30 November 2020; 05:17)

Re: Oh Eric (96,744) (96,746) by Andrew from the United Kingdom You really do, sweetheart. I'll leave you to it. (Sunday 29 November 2020; 22:41)

Apple TV (96,745) by Bobby A from United States I want to watch MC's Christmas special this coming Friday. But I have never signed up for Apple TV. Can someone give instructions on the board how to sign up and watch Apple TV if you have a Smart TV? I am sure that I am not the only who doesn't want to watch it on their phone.

Re: Oh Eric (96,743) (96,744) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands If your idea of fun is insulting other people, than no, I don't need a little more fun out of life. (Sunday 29 November 2020; 14:47)

Oh Eric (96,743) by Andrew from the United Kingdom Your problem is you need to get a little more fun out of life. (Sunday 29 November 2020; 00:58)

Re: That Mariah power (96,740) (96,742) by Stacey from USA Exactly. Mariah is just one of many Christmas classics I listen to during the holidays. It's that reasoning why Mariah has never recorded The Christmas Song as she's said Nat King Cole did it best. I'm a huge fan of the classic Christmas songs. (Saturday 28 November 2020; 23:20)

Re: That Mariah power (96,734) (96,741) by Terna from Nigeria Exactly, she kinda made creating and releasing Christmas music cool and not something affiliated with being a seasoned act. Lol. So many career firsts. (Saturday 28 November 2020; 19:09)

Re: That Mariah power (96,733) (96,740) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Kelly Clarkson loves Mariah and has said many times she would never cover Mariah's AIWFCIY out of respect for the legacy of the song. It is like trying to sing White Christmas when you aren't Bing Crosby. Mariah is a must in my house for the holidays. She is by far the most played, but I love Christmas and I'm happy other artists create Holiday music. I think the trend currently is the recognition this has been a tough year. People will take a little joy anywhere they can. (Saturday 28 November 2020; 15:33)

Re: Oh Santa? (96,728) (96,739) by Andrew from the United Kingdom Bobby A, you are predicting that you won't stop making predictions. Since all of your predictions have ostensibly been incorrect, one can only assume that the prediction that you will not stop making predictions is, thus, also, incorrect, Thus you actually will stop making predictions. Hallelujah. (Saturday 28 November 2020; 12:49)

Re: That Mariah power (96,733) (96,738) by Stacey from USA Vince Vance and the Valiants released a song also called AIWFCIY back in 1989. That's the song Kelly Clarkson covered. (Saturday 28 November 2020; 02:57)

Re: That Mariah power (96,735) (96,737) by Bobby A from United States Yes, this is biggest year that I have seen for Christmas releases since 2011 when ten Christmas albums were released including Justin Beiber, Michael Buble, Jackie Evancho, She and Him, Glee, and Scott Weiland (Billboard Magazine, 11/1/2011). Before 2010's Merry Christmas II You, there really weren't a lot of new Pop Christmas albums being released. We can probably say MC started the trend for Pop artists to release new Christmas albums each year. And new Christmas vinyl from previously released to new Christmas albums are everywhere in retail and indie record shops. (Friday 27 November 2020; 23:37)

(96,736) by Myles from CT, USA Can we talk about how fabulous this looks. This looks very high budget and Mariah looks gorgeous. She is going to have a fabulous end of year. She started off 2020 #1 and will end #1. (Friday 27 November 2020; 21:02)

Re: That Mariah power (96,733) (96,735) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines And even earlier this quarter, JoJo, Meghan Trainor, Carrie Underwood and Tori Kelly released Christmas albums as well, Gwen Stefani re-released hers yet again with new tracks - and those are just the mainstream pop acts. Every year, releasing a holiday set is seeming more and more like an obligatory career move for any artist rather than just a stopgap between proper studio albums. (Friday 27 November 2020; 20:35)

Re: That Mariah power (96,733) (96,734) by Mò from South Africa Terna, I thought the same thing. Seems Christmas albums are now in fashion. MC has created so many templates in the industry. (Friday 27 November 2020; 15:17)

That Mariah power (96,733) by Terna from Nigeria Often imitated, never duplicated. [It's] funny how suddenly every artist is having some sort of Christmas single release this season from Kelly Clarkson releasing her own song that shares the same title literally as "All I Want For Christmas is You" (yeah I'm not kidding lol) to Tinashe, Jordin Sparks and even to Snoop Dogg. Everyone wants to make bank at Christmas time just like Mariah Carey. Too bad she's got a 26 year head start on them. (Friday 27 November 2020; 11:44)

Plot twist (96,732) by Terna from Nigeria Maybe the upcoming song just has the same title as "O Santa" and could just be an entirely new song. Too far fetched? Hehe. (Friday 27 November 2020; 11:36)

Re: Oh Santa? (96,726) (96,731) by TJ from Norway Haha. (Thursday 26 November 2020; 16:12)

Sugar Plum Fairy Interlude (96,730) by MusicfanJ from Germany I started the Christmas music celebration with this one. I love the original melody and Mariah truly sounds like a magical fairy. I never needed the Christmas spirit more than this year. Everything is decorated. We still have the "lockdown light". It will be less shopping and no traveling. But MC will give me joy for the Christmas time for sure. Stay save everyone. (Thursday 26 November 2020; 16:00)

Re: Oh Santa? (96,726) (96,729) by Anonymous from UK To be fair to RA (and their occasional wild predictions), I have listened to Oh Santa multiple times since the announcement, and - if the verses are maintained - came to the same conclusion: the only way for all three of them to get a decent amount of song time is for the verses/bridge to be split into two, with a third (prob Mariah) getting slightly shorter bits, otherwise it ends up a bit Divas Live/Triumphant. To maintain one verse each, with MC bridge (why have Ari and J on there if they won't get verses?) would be a waste, imo. So, for example: Singer 1 starts at: Oh Santa, if you get this letter Singer 2: I saw them shopping All: Chorus Singer 3: Oh Santa, I hope that it's Singer 1/2: I've been really, really good Singer 3: They say it's unrealistic And so on. (Note: I'm sure Mariah loves the Kris Kringle lyric, so maybe she'll keep that to herself or invite both of them to do it with her.) (Thursday 26 November 2020; 13:38)

Re: Oh Santa? (96,726) (96,728) by Bobby A from United States I saw your reply to me Andrew and I was so worried that you were coming at me for the mistakes in my post. I won't type a message again after a few glasses of Pinot Grigio. Lol. But back to my 98% correct predictions, I am going to keep making my predictions as long as I can breathe.

MC30 vinyl bonus tracks (96,727) by Bobby A from United States For those of you who haven't ordered any MC30 vinyl yet, Music Box has Everything Fades Away as a bonus track. TEOM is going to have Sprung and Secret Love as bonus tracks. I hope MIAM has The Art Of Letting Go as bonus track. Also, I wonder why Caution was listed as "Sold Out" and not orderable. Maybe because the Epic budget won't allow for any newly produced Caution vinyl. (Thursday 26 November 2020; 02:48)
