Re: Celine Dion (90,962) (90,965) by Matty from Vancouver Canada I never thought I'd hear anyone describe Celine as soulless. She's dripping with soul and emotion when she sings. It's funny that when Celine and Mariah first signed with Sony, their stories were so similar (power house vocal, older men steering their careers and personal lives, even their Sony debut album covers look identical). The difference is I can't name a single scandal Celine has every been the centre of during her career. Mariah has had scandals, feuds and a public followed life from the start. Celine doesn't care the weight of all the drama. Plus she's given that breathing room to let the public miss her. (Wednesday 2 October 2019; 03:40)

Re: One Child (90,954) (90,964) by Matty from Vancouver Canada I'm also surprised One Child isn't on the deluxe. Mariah's given it so much love over the years, and she did such an amazing rendition when she performed it for the Obama's, they could have used that live version. I also hear it on the radio all the time during the holiday season. Wonder if it wasn't included because someone involved in making the track wouldn't sign off on its inclusion? I would have loved if Mariah recorded her own version of "Where Are you Christmas" that would have been fantastic. (Wednesday 2 October 2019; 03:32)

Re: Pre sale help (90,956) (90,963) by radhames from Curacao Are there any meet and greet? (Wednesday 2 October 2019; 02:21)

Re: Celine Dion (90,960) (90,962) by Edward from USA In the 90's Mariah was considered a soulless artist. A woman with a huge range but without soul, so funny you're saying that about Celine. I'm not a fan of Celine's like that, but she is part of the Divine Trinity for a reason. Each one of them possessed something the other two didn't have. Mariah took risks and stayed relevant longer, but at the same time with she alienated a huge chunk of her core fan base along the way. Just because in a whole year Mariah couldn't sell a tenth of what Celine sold in half an hour, it shouldn't be a reason to be bitter and start bitching about it. Celine is a great vocalist, Mariah is a genius, but they're both legends. Nothing was handed to them, they both earned their accomplishments. Celine is a great vocalist, but Mariah is a musical genius. (Wednesday 2 October 2019; 01:19)

Re: Memoirs (90,938) (90,961) by Bobby A from United States MC's vocals sound so much clearer than on MIAM and Caution. Has anybody else noticed it? Maybe a special microphone she doesn't use anymore? (Tuesday 1 October 2019; 23:35)

Re: Celine Dion (90,955) (90,960) by Tijl from Belgium Céline Dion is very MOR. She makes schmaltzy music that appeals to every suburban housewive around the globe; without risk or soul. Mariah is in a very different league. I would have to get paid to go and see Céline in concert. I would pay to hear Mariah read the phonebook. Two professionals albeit from a very different universe.

Does MC want to tour? (90,959) by Nikki from usa Have to ask. Mariah's no fool. She can't have a slew of high profile performances botched and expect to sell serious venues. Which makes sense why she only does small theaters. The Sweet Sweet Fantasy tour seemed to be rushed and impromptu because it sounded like a good idea. She didn't have a lot of bad high profile performances yet. She was getting great reviews on the little tours she did. Her tiny Asian tour right after the release of With You was weird. She did the AMA's then went to Asia for a month to tour and came back. I'm not sure what the point of that "tour" was. The last real tour when MC had all her ducks in a row was the Butterfly Tour. Mariah could be a great touring act if she wanted to be. However, she'd actually have to take the time to plan out the tour properly. She would have to actually promote it publicly and have a few live performances to show what she's offering is worth seeing. Mariah would have to pace herself for proper vocal rest and vocal exercise to keep her voice in shape. But, who am I kidding? MC has the attention span of a gnat. She'd be better off doing a few venues like Unplugged then televising it and sending it to Netflix. (Tuesday 1 October 2019; 22:46)

Celine vs. Mariah (90,958) by Nikki from usa This isn't really a mystery. Celine put herself out to pasture in Vegas. She perfected a routine with the equivalent of circus performers and made a name for herself as a live act. She's been out of the press, she doesn't collab much or outside her genre, and public appearances are few and far between. She didn't have the impact Mariah has had, so nobody is trying to be Celine Dion. She doesn't collab with rappers or the young where anyone would try to make a name for themselves by trying to diss her. Quite frankly, she's not that attractive for anyone trying to get press by claiming they slept with her either. She doesn't do anything outside music. Nor, has anyone ever tried to undermine her career? The only thing people know about her is her reviews as a performer which she's cultivated over 16 years. Mariah's only been seriously touring for 5 years and it's been very low key in venue and advertisements. Most of it even seems to be impromptu. She's never been much of a touring artist in the first place. The charts is Mariah's playground, touring is Celine's. (Tuesday 1 October 2019; 22:29)

Re: Celine Dion (90,955) (90,957) by MusicfanJ from Germany I think it's because of the good image that Celine Dion has. I know many people who don't like Celine's music, but nobody says a negative thing about her. With Mariah it's the opposite sadly. A lot like her music, but can't stand the diva persona.

Pre sale help (90,951) (90,956) by Chicago Lamb from USA Sooooo excited, I've got 'dem tickets. First step: go to Mariah's website and follow the link to honeybfly fan club where you can pre-purchase the Christmas album. Once it's paid for, you'll get the order # that you can use on the Ticketmaster website to access the pre-purchase pre-sale. Good luck, I found it pretty easy. (Tuesday 1 October 2019; 17:53)

Celine Dion (90,955) by TJ from Norway Almost 50,000 tickets sold in half an hour here in Norway. Mariah sold 5,000 in half a year. She either have to look at her promotion team, or her musical reputation. IDK. I don't understand how some people here think that Celine is "over". (Tuesday 1 October 2019; 17:52)

Re: One Child (90,950) (90,954) by Bill from the UK You're right, the last thing I should do is complain given that my prayer was answered. (Tuesday 1 October 2019; 17:31)

Re: One Child (90,948) (90,953) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines It is quite disappointing, although understandable. It is the weakest out of the original songs on its parent album. But it definitely deserves to be there more than The Star and especially Lil Snowman. (Tuesday 1 October 2019; 11:56)

Article: Mariah praises "beautiful" gospel version of "My All" (90,952) by Musti from UK Waking up to this number gave me one of the best mornings I've had in a very long time. Truly beautiful. Who could've ever imagined My All as a gospel song? Her influence has no boundaries. Gotta give a to the writer though. Basic ballad? Pfff. (Tuesday 1 October 2019; 07:08)

Pre sale help (90,951) by Ryan Kane from KY I am so excited to be going to the All I Want tour; however, I have never done the ticket presale thing. I bought merchandise from the website and it said I'd get a code, but when will I get the code? Do I get an email tomorrow with the code right before tickets go on sale? Thanks lambs. (Tuesday 1 October 2019; 04:20)

Re: One Child (90,948) (90,950) by Stacey from USA True. But I kinda see this as the original Christmas album's time to shine. I mean let's face it, Merry Christmas is in a league of its own. And you got your "divine" (pun intended) wish. (Tuesday 1 October 2019; 03:30)

Re: All I Want For Christmas tour (90,944) (90,949) by enwar00 from usa Nope. She cancelled the Chicago stop a couple Christmases ago when she got sick, so if she doesn't wanna come back here to make that up, then bye Felicia. (Tuesday 1 October 2019; 00:45)

Re: One Child (90,946) (90,948) by Bill from the UK Agree. I'm a bit sad it didn't see its way onto the 25th deluxe of Merry Christmas along with the other originals from the MCIIY album. (Monday 30 September 2019; 23:53)

Re: One Child (90,946) (90,947) by Stacey from USA One of my favorites off MCIIY. (Monday 30 September 2019; 22:36)

One Child (90,946) by Mò from South Africa Is Mariah even human, unbelievably amazing. Gave "One Child" a listen on earphones. I was transported to heavens. Wow. (Monday 30 September 2019; 20:56)

B/MC disses (90,945) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Thirsty is definitely going at Damizza, I can say Infinity was definitely taking shots at Nick. (Monday 30 September 2019; 20:14)

All I Want For Christmas tour (90,944) by Chicago Lamb from USA So happy for this, I'll be going to MSG December 15th. Anyone else? (Monday 30 September 2019; 20:04)

Re: Mariah's best disses (90,939) (90,943) by Bill from the UK It's Damizza. Trust me. I know these things. (Monday 30 September 2019; 16:44)

Re: Memoirs (90,938) (90,942) by Bill from the UK I also can't believe it's been ten years since Memoirs came out. I'll play it today in celebration. Betcha Gon' Know is probably one of her best album openers yet, and Languishing is just beautiful, and let's not forget the 20th would-be #1 Ribbon (19th was, of course, Migrate). It's one of those albums of hers where I hardly ever play it, yet when I do, I remember that I love every song. E=MC2 is the other one. (Monday 30 September 2019; 15:50)

Re: 19th number one in 2019 (90,925) (90,941) by B from USA I think it's going to happen. It will also give her a #1 in three different decades. (Monday 30 September 2019; 15:50)
