Charts (104,226)
by Edward from USA
(Sunday 26 November 2023; 04:08) | | |
| It re-entered the Hot 100 at No 17. Only three other Christmas songs re-entered the the chart this week, but AIWFCY is ahead of all of them. We can expect a high jump to the top five next week and the rest would be a fight to death, but I think, at least, it'll snatch a couple of weeks this season. |

I'm entitled to say it. Yes, we, the alphabet people, can be overly sensitive and dramatic about simple shit. I didn't think about it, I didn't disguise it, I didn't imply it, I simply said it. It's not microaggression, it's me exercising my right to say whatever I want. The fact you had to reply to it just proves my effing point.
And just in case you want to come with the "shut up white straight man", I'm neither white nor straight, not that there's anything wrong with that either. So, whenever I want, I'll say what's in my mind about our loving and inclusive community. |

| Over-sensitive alphabet people? Why bring unnecessarily shady and passive aggressiveness here. This is now the 3rd time I've read these microaggressions in a few weeks and it's just so sickening. I'll leave it to the mod if you want to post this reply but for a fanbase that's heavy on LGBTQs this sure is lacking tolerance. |

Mariah mounts herself on heels so high not even the most experienced Drag Queen could walk on them. Not implying Sam Smith is a Drag Queen, just in case one of the over sensitive alphabet people might want to start a cat fight, but he seems to to be very careful when walking on those platforms he mounts himself on.
Another thing, after her accident while filming the video for "#Beautiful", she's definitely being more careful. |

Christmas songs (early bird special) (104,155)
by Edward from USA
(Tuesday 21 November 2023; 18:31) | | |
| As much as I hate to say it, Taylor Swift's songs don't just chart one week and out the other, she has a massive fanbase. In some places they're camping outside Arenas six months in advance just to be closer to the stage. She's definitely had the Midas touch for quite sometime now. I don't know the lyrics to any of her songs. I tried listening to her last album but I didn't feel a connection. I wish her well though. Her relatable persona definitely helps her a lot. The woman is the biggest thing right now yet she doesn't acts as if she believes her own hype. |

20 songs in the chart, and then disappear the following week. Mariah should do something big next year during the album's 30th anniversary and have every song chart.
Anyway, Brenda could take it this year. Mariah will probably do something big next year, so if she gets a couple of weeks this year, she'll probably take the record back next year. But she should do a good festive video every 2 years anyway, since that is all she is doing now. |

Christmas songs (early bird special) (104,152)
by Edward from USA
(Tuesday 21 November 2023; 17:31) | | |
| I guess you're right, but the fact these songs have re-entered the chart so early tells you their numbers will be far ahead than the rest of them. I thought Brenda's "Sitting on My Rocking Chair" would be at least in the top 100. |

Christmas songs (early bird special) (104,149)
by Edward from USA
(Tuesday 21 November 2023; 13:56) | | |
Only four Christmas songs re-entered the Hot 100 this week.
17. All I Want for Christmas Is You
32. Las Christmas
38. Jingle Bell Rock
44. A Holly Jolly Christmas
If there's a possibility for any song other AIWFCIY to hit No. 1 this year, in my opinion, that would be Last Christmas. I'm tired of seeing Taylor Swift with 20 songs on the top 10. |

| People on this board love Mariah and have given her some great advice. If there were only "yasss queen" lambs posting here, Mariah would still be believing she was fooling anyone. All the "yasss queen" sites disappeared for a reason. Mariah is a musical genius, she should be held to higher standards. I'm glad she probably reading this board since she seems to be doing some of things recommended here. |

| Lol seriously lol. I pray that she's never visited this website. Maybe she did and then read all the disgusting things some of you say about her right before the Christmas concerts started. I've been a lamb since 1990 and I would never say the horrible things that I've read on here, from people that weren't even born in 1990. I don't think of this site as a Mariah fan site anymore. I miss the old ones. |

| It was definitely live and she sounded good. It seems to be she's working with a vocal coach or something. Even though she's not belting much, at least she doesn't seem to be struggling with the less taxing notes. That makes me happy. |

I'm actually revisiting the Merry Christmas II You album in anticipation of when AIWFCIY will hit the top spot again. We got MB30 this year, that's enough for me. |

There's a rumour that Bryan Tanaka was arrested a few months ago in Brazil for his involvement in a scam several years ago (pre-Mariah). Not sure if it's true or completely made up, but that would explain his absence recently and subsequent removal from her Instagram. Or, they may have simply broken up. It happens.
As for the Christmas concerts, I'm not even going to waste my time watching the videos. It's the same thing we see every year. Like you all, I fear for Mariah's wellbeing and whatever she is battling. But continuing the charade is not helping anyone. The truth will come out one day I suppose. |

Emotionless: Mariah's face is totally stiff (104,095)
by Edward from USA
(Friday 17 November 2023; 18:08) | | |
| I won't personally go on a diatribe about the first concert. At least she's playing it safe with the few parts she's singing live. She's definitely not lipping 99%, but she's lipping a huge chunk of the concert, I would say anything that requires any nominal belting is being lipped. I'm concerned about her well-being though. It is as if she's going through the motions, as if her body is there, but her soul is not. I really hope she has some great support system around her. Her twins still need her around for many years to come. |

I agree with her being stiff, hello that's been her case since Memoirs. But she's not 99% lipping. This is the problem with group pileups, we get carried away, start exaggerating and it becomes free for all. I'm sure its possible to criticize her and still be truthful, without throwing everything but the kitchen sink.
Anyway, this is the start of the season, and per usual, I can already feel the lambs sharpening their knives. Carry on. |

| These concerts are probably going to make us know that MC has her voice back or she will never get it back. It's hard to believe that her performance of The Distance on late night TV in 2019 was the last time she truly performed live without a pre-recorded track. |

Mariah confirms she's done 10 songs for new album (104,039)

| I concur. Making an album is cheap these days, especially since she writes her own songs. She doesn't really need a label, she could've sold those 50K units of Caution just by promoting it herself. |

| Surely by now the old girl could just finance the damn album herself. All this talk of her shopping around for a record deal is humiliating. She has the resources and star power to go it alone. All she ever does is complain about how such and such a single wasn't pushed, wrong song choices, was told to take songs off she liked, record company politics and blah blah blah. Put your money where your mouth is and go it alone. Tina Arena did so with her latest album because she was tired of the industry and being overlooked, despite being very talented. It did exceptionally well in Australia and was an excellent album too. |

Saint Harison (104,018)

(Saturday 11 November 2023; 17:51) | | |
| I think that only happens [once] in a lifetime. As much as I loved Whitney and like Celine, they couldn't quite get to me like Mariah did. While Whitney's voice was more powerful, Mariah's artistry was far superior and her voice more nuanced. Whitney would make any song presented to her sound as if she had written it. Mariah was more like a painter and decorative painter all in one. I don't remember anybody who could put together complicated background vocals like Mariah. Had social media been around back then, Mariah would've been twice bigger than Taylor [Swift.] I can't name a song by Taylor Swift, but the woman is a phenomenon. |

| Did you check out his brillant performance of Ego Talkin on Jimmy Kimmel this week? You got to YouTube his performance. Somebody has been truly studying Mariah Carey. I am not making it up either, Andy. He said it in his Apple Music interview discussing his EP Lost A Friend. His vocal technique and phrasing is just like MC. Also, Daley is back on tour in January. |

It's hard to find a comparator for a singer but when a tennis player has an injury they do not sign up for a circuit of Grand Slams and tournaments. When a rugby player has a pulled hamstring, they are taken out of the season. If you can't sing, don't get on stage - and charge money for it?
This sounds mean, maybe it is. And I think if people know what's going to happen and they buy tickets to it, then I'm all for that. But very majorly supportive of people like Adam who chooses not to buy high-price tickets to something very average. The Caution tour was Mariah's first tour in the UK I didn't attend since the Rainbow tour. Because I, likewise, didn't see the point. I'd rather spend the money on a vacation - which is what it costs now.
However, I think you're missing the crux. It isn't that Mariah isn't signing so much, it's that she doesn't move, she doesn't banter much, she doesn't do much of anything. I remember attending the Christmas show at the O2 not far from me: I could see she was reading an autocue of what to say. "I have my own reindeeeeer." That isn't just a loss of confidence, that's a loss of dignity, wouldn't you say?
When someone is asking Mariah to be prepared, it's a grave, grave state of affairs that this needs to be requested. But, I do hope she puts on a good show and doesn't fill YouTube with yet more toss. |
