Re: Oh Santa! fun Ariana Grande and Jennifer Hudson (96,670) (96,676) by Edward from USA Even though she never mentioned having recorded her own version/demo before, that would definitely be a treat a la "Out Here On My Own". She had never talked about her version of "I Pray" either, so one can inly dream. I hope your husband is doing better. (Thursday 19 November 2020; 16:00)

Re: Rarities package from MariahCarey.com? (96,671) (96,675) by Matty from Vancouver Canada Thank You Robert-Anthony. (Thursday 19 November 2020; 05:39)

Re: O Santa? O Mariah (96,668) (96,674) by B from USA Mariah can still outsing Grande. I think she'll do fine since it's all about her and it's a controlled environment. (Thursday 19 November 2020; 04:07)

Re: Oh Santa! fun Ariana Grande and Jennifer Hudson (96,670) (96,673) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada In light of everything going on, I'm just happy to be getting a Christmas special with some fun little extras to enjoy for the holidays. (Thursday 19 November 2020; 02:14)

MCIIY duets album, hypothetical tracklist (96,672) by T from USA If she wants to really put MCIIY into the spotlight she should re-release it this year on its 10th anniversary as a duets album. Here's how it could be done: 1. Santa Clause Is Coming To Town (intro) 2. Oh Santa (ft. Ari & JHudd) 3. Little Town Of Bethlehem (ft. K Clarkson) 4. Christmas Time Is... (ft. Micheal Buble) 5. The First Noel (ft. Toni Braxton) 6. When Christmas Comes (ft. John Legend) 7. Here Comes Santa Clause (ft. JD) 8. Charlie Brown Christmas (ft. Snoop) 9. O Come All Ye Faithful (ft. Pat) 10. O Holy Night (ft. Celine Dion) 11. One Child (ft. Beyoncé) 12. Where Are You Christmas (ft. Faith Hill) 13. AIWFCIY (ft. JB) It would fulfill so many of our duet dreams and at the same time catapult MCIIY into the stratosphere. (Thursday 19 November 2020; 02:13)

Re: Rarities package from MariahCarey.com? (96,663) (96,671) by Bobby A from United States It is scheduled to ship after December 1st. (Thursday 19 November 2020; 00:19)

Re: Oh Santa! fun Ariana Grande and Jennifer Hudson (96,665) (96,670) by Stacey from USA Here's hoping Mariah "finds" her version of Where Are You Christmas. One can only hope. (Wednesday 18 November 2020; 23:07)

Re: O Santa? O Mariah (96,668) (96,669) by Hector from Mexico Mariah will never sing live with Ariana and Jennifer. That would be suicide. (Wednesday 18 November 2020; 22:11)

O Santa? O Mariah (96,668) by Andrew from the United Kingdom Using Ariana to push O Santa! into the mainstream like AIWFCIY may seem like a clever move on paper, but I am not convinced it will work. If Mariah had written a new song for them it would have been better. Also, watching Mariah sing a duet with Ariana will have me peering over the back of the sofa sweating profusely. Can she pull it off? Who knows? (Wednesday 18 November 2020; 21:31)

Apple Christmas (96,667) by Will from Australia She looks amazing in two images she's posted, the dress she's wearing on the wreath I think we've seen before and is very Marilyn Monroe but her hair in the other image in the high pig tail is the best I've seen her look in a long time, gave me 90s feels. Can't wait to hear her new version of "Oh Santa!" with AG and JH if that's true. I won't mention Jermaine You All Know What This Isn't as I want to remain festive. (Wednesday 18 November 2020; 21:23)

Re: If there is a "Rairities 2", my wishlist tracklist (96,660) (96,666) by T from USA Should've been the second disc. (Wednesday 18 November 2020; 20:42)

Oh Santa! fun Ariana Grande and Jennifer Hudson (96,665) by Horacio from United States Billboard just confirmed that the Apple+ Christmas special will have a soundtrack that "is stuffed full of brand new interpretations", according to a statement, and will drop on the same day as an exclusive to Apple Music, then December 11 on other platforms. Grande and Hudson will join forces with Carey on the lead single and music video for "Oh Santa!", which will drop December 4 across all streaming platforms. (Wednesday 18 November 2020; 20:33)

Just a thought soccer/football (96,664) by Nikki from usa I was bummed that one of the remixes of Triumphant wasn't on The Rarities album. I recall the board liking the remixes. It doesn't seem dated to me now either for some reason. It still hits hard. It's a shame she couldn't promote it because everyone was interested in this song. ESPN wanted it, BET made the music video #1, but Nick was in the hospital and Mariah had already agreed to film American Idol. It felt like a lost opportunity. I'd like her to dust one of these off and offer it to FIFA as their anthem next year. She'd could release another album of all her dance/party songs and have Triumphant as the first single. If it does well overseas, and I think it would, she might be able to get back on pop radio in the States too. Her album cover could just be a huge picture of her foot in one of her stiletto's and call it Pump It Up. (Wednesday 18 November 2020; 19:53)

Rarities package from MariahCarey.com? (96,663) by Matty from Vancouver Canada Does anyone know when "The Rarities" package from MariahCarey.com with the vinyl, CD nd book are going to get shipped? Are all three items supposed to be shipped together? I've messaged LiveNation customer service a number of times over the weeks (via the website and directly via the customer service email) and haven't gotten a response. Thanks for the help MCA, I'm frustrated with the merch company not responding to any of my messages. (Wednesday 18 November 2020; 19:48)

Cory Rooney and Pat (96,662) by Nikki from usa I recall Cory's name. He worked with Mariah a bit at Sony as well as one of J.Lo's "helpers". He defended J.Lo against the stolen sample and acted as if it was commonly used. Mariah was the first to ask for legal rights to sample it which is news that came from its creators in a Yahoo interview from 2001. Cory's name is also in J.Lo's credits as a writer. He would have as much to lose if it was found out that he helped steal the track. Stuff like this may be frequent in the music world, but it's rarely called out on by name. I've never heard Mariah ever mention his name. I've been collecting pictures of Mariah since 1997. I know Mariah used to talk about calling her mom everyday back then. I also have pictures of Mariah throughout Europe in 2003 with her mom walking in the background holding a cane near Mariah's security. She also accompanied Mariah on Oprah in 2002 to discuss Mariah's childhood and "breakdown". Pat said she called 911 because Mariah had passed out. I don't know who that damage control was for, Pat or Mariah. I'm more bewildered that Mariah gave Morgan millions for his failing business after he tried to Britney Spears her twice.

Re: Cory Rooney (96,657) (96,661) by 123 from USA I'm shocked that he stepped forward to admit that he witnessed the knife incident, confirm what Mariah said in the book and then turn around and call her a liar. The tweet was posted a month ago only to be deleted. He threatened to reveal "the real truth" but so far it's been nothing but crickets. Someone in Cory's camp must have talked some sense into him by letting him know you can't justify placing a butter knife to someone's face. You can still do severe damage if it's directed to an eye or any orifice. He chose a side when their marriage was ending. Everyone sided with Tommy because he was the boss and the man with all the power. That's why she fired everyone on her team when they divorced so she could start fresh. Her career was never the same after that. The last few albums on Sony were a reflection of what happens when you go against the boss. Cory was then given to JLo and Walter to Celine. They were rewarded for their loyalty with artists Tommy wanted to promote and take Mariahs AC and Urban audience away from. (Wednesday 18 November 2020; 19:15)

If there is a "Rairities 2", my wishlist tracklist (96,660) by The Real Deal from USA If there is a "Rarities 2", here is my wishlist of what I would like to see on it. 1) Song from her demo 2) Another song from her demo 3) After Tonight (duet version with Luis Miguel) 4) There Goes My Heart 5) Miss You 6) Sprung 7) Secret Love 8) When I Feel It 9) Heat 10) 4Real 4Real 11) Right To Dream 12) Help Me Make It Through The Night 13) 100% 14) Skydiving 15) New track (Wednesday 18 November 2020; 18:03)

Adding "The Rarities" songs to original albums (96,659) by The Real Deal from USA I made a playlist adding "The Rarities" songs to their original intended albums. It really changes the sound direction of "Music Box". In regard to "Daydream", both "One Night" and "Slipping Away" fit in seamlessly. Check out the order I put the songs in below and listen to them in that same order for a whole new experience from each album. Debut album: I added "Here We Go Again" right after "Vanishing". Emotions: I added "Can You Hear Me" right after "To Be Around You". Music Box: I played around with this track listing a bit. This is what I feel is the best flow for it: 1) Dreamlover 2) Hero 3) Anytime You Need A Friend 4) Music Box 5) Now That I Know 6) Do You Think Of Me 7) All I Live For 8) Never Forget You 9) Without You 10) Just To Hold You Once Again 11) I've Been Thinking About You 12) Everything Fades Away 13) All I've Ever Wanted Daydream: 1) Fantasy 2) Underneath The Stars 3) One Sweet Day 4) Open Arms 5) Always Be My Baby 6) One Night 7) I Am Free 8) When I Saw You 9) Long Ago 10) Slipping Away 11) Melt Away 12) Forever 13) Daydream Interlude 14) Looking In 15) Fantasy with ODB E=MC2: I cheated with this one and added "Heat" and "4Real 4Real": 1) Migrate 2) Touch My Body 3) Cruise Control 4) I Stay In Love 5) Side Effects 6) Heat 7) 4Real 4Real 8) Love Story 9) I'm That Chick (with "Fashion Rocks" intro) 10) Cool On You 11) I'll Be Lovin' You Long Time 12) OOC 13) Last Kiss 14) Thanks For Nothing 15) For The Record 16) Bye Bye 17) I Wish You Well (Wednesday 18 November 2020; 17:43)

Re: Stacey (96,655) (96,658) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada I too remember Stephen well. (Tuesday 17 November 2020; 23:54)

Re: Cory Rooney (96,642) (96,657) by Will from Australia That's so ironic. I knew of that Twitter trolling of the dinner knife saga but literally had no idea who the person was that witnesses it lol so "I don't know her" is very real to me right now. I've never heard of Mariah even mention his name so why is he so obsessed? (Tuesday 17 November 2020; 10:35)

Hello all, Pat and Mariah (96,656) by Tori from US Hello everyone. This is my first post but I've been lurking for years. My old account was deleted somehow, probably because I never posted. The commentary in here is like Thanksgiving with the world's most dysfunctional family. It is entertaining to say the least. Anywho, my first post is about insight on Mariah and Pat's fragile relationship. I've been looking for this for weeks and I've finally found it again. A lot of you were wondering how Mariah could go from having a horrible relationship with her mom to doing a Christmas song together, but in this old interview she did they were apparently not on great terms then either. Here is what Mariah said back in 2010: "On her new album, she and her mother duet on a delirious O Come All Ye Faithful. Patricia, a vocal coach as well as a singer, had noticed her daughter's musical leanings, although Carey never wanted to sing opera herself. Are Carey and her mother close? She looks stricken. 'I'm sure we were when I was younger. There have been complicated moments. At least having the duet is something I'll be able to have and say this is her, this is a special moment and I'm glad we did it.'" This is from The Times by the way. Toxic relationships with your mom are especially hard to severe. You'll always want to receive what love you can from them even if it comes with some pain. I guess Mariah could no longer tolerate the inevitable pain her mother would bring. Alright back to lurking. (Tuesday 17 November 2020; 08:04)

Re: Stacey (96,652) (96,655) by Andrew from the United Kingdom My memory is so long I can tell you his surname. He gave up one day, sadly, at the futility of sense vs nonsense on this board. As luck would have it, I rarely give up. Or lose lol. You are surely appreciated by most people here. (Tuesday 17 November 2020; 01:53)

Re: Exact lyrics (96,651) (96,654) by Andrew from the United Kingdom Stacey, don't you know that life is sweet? It swiftly goes. So I just gotta know if we were separated at birth? (Tuesday 17 November 2020; 01:44)

Re: Re: Exact lyrics (96,634) (96,644) (96,653) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Yeah, I think you're right. I've been listening more closely. The thing is there are so many voices intertwined that I thought I was making out something else. Sorry. That aside, I also like Loverboy Firecracker more than the Cameo version. It's just cheerful and enjoyable. And doesn't Mariah sound like having a little cold in All I Live For? Lol. (Monday 16 November 2020; 23:23)

Re: Stacey (96,635) (96,652) by Stacey from USA Ahh, I miss Stephen. Always enjoyed his sentiments. We will get through this. One day at a time, right? And yes, I agree. Cheer up everyone. Christmas fast approaches. I've already stopped counting how many times I've listened to AIWFCIY, lol. I even got my tree up already. (Monday 16 November 2020; 23:18)
