Mariah Carey

[Anderson]

I can't stand people here pretending like Mariah is innocent in the chart manipulation thing..
Mariah has been notorious for that. Am I wrong?

I don't care if it's true or not. I just love her music.

[TheRealest]

And we can’t stand people in here beating a dead horse. Girl go play.

You can ignore them. There's a way in the profile settings

I don't blame her bc actually it's label's fault.

[SawyerHewitt]

Ok Back to the topic I hope Mariah doesn’t take so long to release the new Xmas songs like last year. I think this hurt the performance even for oh Santa remix cause it didn’t have the time to promote or build an audience cause it only had 3 weeks til Xmas was over. Clarkson already released her Xmas song today and will release the album in a few weeks. Usually everyone release the Xmas music in advance. Mariah magical xmas was released already in December.
She could release at least a xmas single in advance if the xmas special won’t be ready to be released on AppleTV at time

Jeez... a certain member of this forum needs to get a life. Anyway, she posted the AGxMCxJH pic on Oct 9 last year, so we probably won't get updates on the special until next month. Hoping for more cover songs and maybe a new one, or even a 2021 Where Are You Christmas version.

Like I said I hope she doesn’t take so long like last year cause it didn’t have time enough to build an audience and ended everything as quick as started.
And she already said she was going to record her version for WAYC for this year but then switched to a new song she wrote (if I remember correctly is the one she was with Post Malone in mind)

MOD NOTE:

I’m setting an embargo on BTS discussion for a month in this thread unless we get confirmation on who is or is not confirmed for the Special in which case I will post about the embargo being lifted.

Note: I will give an infraction about this as a reminder to people who may forget about this until then.

Given the current mood of the thread, please be warned that in the next few days posts that appear bait like may more than likely be deemed trolling. Take this into consideration when posting please.

Note: Please REPORT and not post about persons you think are trolling. REPORT.

Please use the Ignore function that we have made available for everyone now. It is no longer a Premium Member function.

On my side, I will try to do a better job of keeping this thread flowing and centred on Mariah.

Thanks.

I was expecting Kelly had Mariah on her new Christmas album. They love each other. I wish they collaborated.

It would be amazing if Mariah invited Kelly for the Xmas special

I need it! And then Kelly puts out a Deluxe version of her new Christmas album with that collaboration with MC.

I don't care if it's true or not. I just love her music.

notorious for what exactly? discounting a song in a dying market? Despite her name being use as the poster child of this, Columbia / Sony did that for ALL of their acts.

There was an article about that during Glitter's anniversary... rightfully distributing shade at all of them for letting Mariah getting all the flack all these years.

If anyone is to blame, then it is the Sony Music corporation and not a single act.

I want to emphasize that Mariah literally had no control over these business decisions back in the day.

I also want to emphasize that ... only because a single was discounted... doesn't mean the GP felt compelled to rush out, get their jackets on, jump on a bus / train / into a car and drive up to a store and grab a copy and then return home.

I find it weirder for example, that Garth Brooks exclusively released his music to non-soundscan affiliated stores and then got all those certified smashes in recent years.

When Sony did the same for Mariah in Germany (her music being bundled up into 2 CD sets and then being offered in discounters like Aldi and Lidl... her sales didn't even count towards a) the charts and b) for certifications.

Back in the day, labels had to licence their music release to the charts provider. When IWTKWLI was released as a digital download in August, 2009 (the physical single came out in November), the song was suppressed from charting even.

So for every "fraud" claim against her, she has had things going against her.

Memoirs remains the most botched up and internally destroyed era by a major star, imo.

absolutely. Kelly is like Mariah's biggest fan ever. I love her.

Sony Legacy, via Mariah's emailing list, just sent an email promoting the 4K videos of Fantasy

I would love to see “Oh Santa” getting major radio spins/streams this year now that the public is aware of its existence… or at least in the next couple of years. It takes Xmas songs awhile to make a big impact as we’ve seen with AIWFCIY, Kelly Clarkson’s one Xmas song and most recently Ariana’s “Santa Tell Me.”

Excited for the special… I’m more excited about the celebrity appearances than potential collabs (since likely there will only be one). It’ll be nice to see her actually interacting / acting with more celebs in person now that there are less covid restrictions. I hope she invites back Billy Eichner!

[RayRay]

More finds...
Chain of Fools live with Aretha

You Got Me 5:12 version

So Lonely explicit - I think I prefer this version! + 4:22 weird version of Chopped & Screwed

A song called It's Only Make Believe by Sam Moore from 2006. Mariah is whistling on it, i guess.... never heard it before

H.A.T.E.U - Jason Nevins "Loves U" Remix from 2010's Just Dance 3

I think my playlist has most songs all together in one list. I even added the ones she wrote, but didn't sing:

I miss those days when we would have to go to the store and actually by CD Singles. I would buy all of Mariah’s because they’d have so many remixes.
my favorite was the Double Single for AYNAF! I would listen to all the remixes from start to finish just like the album!
Then, of course, I bought the vinyls because my brother was a DJ and had a mixer and turntables.
I wish I could find my cassette tape where I mixed Whitney’s Queen of the Night with Mariah’s Dreamlover Def Tribal Mix and my mega mix of Mariah’s remixes!

I understand those wanting a hit at any cost, they haven't been there in the '90s.
but seriously, enough is enough..

I always loved buying CDs and physical stuff. I love to see it and touch it and smell it.. seriously.

I envy those music collectors who have EVERY version of EVERY Mariah release.

I feel like I'm the only one who enjoys Unforgettable Remix, I think most lambs despise it. I really wonder why they approached her to do it. Or who approached who and why. It was so random and then they did nothing about it. The plan was to get it to chart higher? Bring Mariah to mainstream? They just left the song for the lambs to buy it and then nothing. Coupled with the Infinity Remix with Justin Bieber and all the rest, you really have to wonder what they were trying to do with Mariah's career in 2015-2016.

I always loved unforgettable. the acoustic version is amazing too. I think they only did the remix to help the original with extra points, they had hundred of other remixes with other artists like the latin version with J Balvin, Major Laser, Tiesto..

on other news, those who haven't get the chance to watch FREE GUY at the theathers it's already available digitally on the internet.
