Mariah & Santa: A true story (94,959) by Nicky from Jasmine's Sofa When I was 10 years old, Mariah released Emotions. I had been in love with her voice and her lyrics since I was 9 and heard Vision of Love, Love Takes Time, and Someday (this one I loved soooo much, I'll never get the image of her in those jeans out of my head). So here we are, Christmastime '91 and I really really wanted the Emotions tape for Christmas. I was a smart kid that asked a lot of questions, so the Santa Claus myth was debunked years ago for me. So I had already made my Christmas list and it was full, each of us kids only had a certain amount of things we could put on our lists. Also, I was worried that the album would be considered too adult-oriented for me at that age. So I never told not even 1 person that I wanted Emotions, not a soul. So it's the holidays and my older sister at the last minute decides to take me with her to her job's holiday party. It was a last minute decision and they let me know I was going just an hour before the party. I get there and they are handing out gifts to each of the kids. So sweet. And of course, with my luck I got the smallest gift. But I didn't feel so bad when I considered that they really didn't know I was coming probably. So I opened this small rectangular gift... and I literally could have died. I was speechless. I couldn't even speak or believe my eyes. It was the Emotions cassette. I think I told every single adult at that party how grateful I was, I could not believe that the impossible actually happened. So this made me question so many things, but mainly my disbelief in Santa Claus. No one knew I wanted it, I wasn't even supposed to be at that party, how the heck did this even happen. So for a brief couple of years, Santa became a little more real again. Oddly enough, after all these years I never made a connection between my Mariah story and her Queen of Christmas identity. This happened before Merry Christmas so I never put the two together until thinking of a title for this post. I guess I could just say, how foreshadowing. Thanks for reading, I hope some of you get the magic, this is one of my favorite childhood memories. (Wednesday 19 August 2020; 00:44)

Re: GMA (94,955) (94,958) by Nicky from Jasmine's Sofa Yes it is. (Wednesday 19 August 2020; 00:02)

Re: Name game (94,950) (94,957) by Nicky from Jasmine's Sofa Ha. I love that. And I totally agree. With all the race issues riled up in the world right now, I think Kaleidoscope, emphasizing a myriad of colors creating beauty, would be a fitting album title for the end of this year.

Re: Rarities this Friday #MC30 (94,951) (94,956) by Bill from the UK I am in shock. Please everybody join me in prayer for Can You Hear Me and others (demo songs). I am so excited for Friday now. I'm excited for every Friday but even more so now. I might have to book the day off work lol. So apparently "Mariah Carey is reportedly readying a new compilation album titled The Rarities, which will feature unreleased material, including demos and b-sides. She also has plans to drop a new single with Lauryn Hill this Friday." Mariah is on GMA on Wednesday 18th so perhaps she will mention this all then. I am beyond excited. Deffo booking Friday off now to spend my day with the compilation. (Tuesday 18 August 2020; 23:37)

Re: Name game (94,940) (94,946) by Edward from USA Mariah has a song starting with the letter "K", it just hasn't been released, but it's completed and heard by some who showed a liking for it. It's called "Kick Rocks". "Charlamagne tha God" mentions it in an interview Mariah had with him on "The Breakfast Club" back in 2014. During the interview he briefly talks about listening to the song while visiting Mariah at her apartment and asks her why she hasn't released it. (Tuesday 18 August 2020; 14:36)
