I prefer the paperback cover.. I adore the original but the photo of her child is much more appropriate and inviting to someone who just happens to be walking by this in a store. Love it!To avoid any upset, please note; anything I post is purely my opinion. If I feel it is a fact, I will state that I feel it is a fact. Lol.

I can't believe people can criticize a partnership with one of the biggest and most successful companies on the planet. We're pretending Michael Jackson didn't do Pepsi? And why that would be better than McDonalds? She's so relevant and Iconic she can partner with such a huge staple, yeah. This is business, it has nothing to do with art or credibility in music, it's not about your personal food beliefs, this is about RELEVANCY and we should just be proud she's well capitalizing on her huge Christmas brand and playing an A list game.
I swear people are never happy.

I think as people have already pointed out, the off putting thing for me so far has been the quality of the images, which appear to be very cheap, badly photoshopped and quite tacky. Hopefully the best stuff is yet to come and we’ll see some nicer promo images etc.To avoid any upset, please note; anything I post is purely my opinion.

She's "in on the joke" essentially
But where I agree with you is with the video explainer. I thought it was done quite poorly as Mariah is very obviously reading the cue cards

Hope it is a worldwide thing like the BTS one. I told myself to stay away from fast food, but Queen just made me drive thru McD for a cheeseburger. Her impact! Mariah Carey is the first and only artiste to have #1 singles in four different decades
Your basic faves could never

Just hope there’s an epic ad campaign coming and they haven’t cut corners.
On a positive note, I’m not as disgusted by this today. I’m warming to the idea hahaLast edited by NorthernMonkey; Thu November 11, 2021, 11:27.To avoid any upset, please note; anything I post is purely my opinion. If I feel it is a fact, I will state that I feel it is a fact. Lol.

Nice reception on social media thus far.
I didn't see any aggressive meme or post.
The good thing about being "in on the joke" and kinda laugh at herself is that deactivates or at least minimizes the hate/backlash.

Further insight on what could come with McD partnership - this has more focus on crew relations as it was leaked via a crew email

I feel like it’s just a poor effort on the marketing teams part to not come up with something better lol.To avoid any upset, please note; anything I post is purely my opinion. If I feel it is a fact, I will state that I feel it is a fact. Lol.

Agreed. I think it’s great that it shows Mariah taking the piss out of herself and being in on the joke. Guaranteed most people just think it’s a random ocean superimposed random image though.

And then it’s not obvious if you HAVE seen it.. it was only when someone pointed out that it was in response to that meme that I was like “oh ok.. hmm”Last edited by NorthernMonkey; Thu November 11, 2021, 13:05.To avoid any upset, please note; anything I post is purely my opinion.

My personal issue with McDonalds is the usual bad press around them when it comes to health.
Yes, Pepsi is junk food all the same, but there is with McDonalds an association that I've always seen with poor health, poor diet, bad food choices etc - it is the poster child for bad food.
Beyond that, I agree with bm08 - the video with her reading the lines is awkward... but this will likely be huge with a lot of money behind it and a lot more press and promo.
Sure there may be backlash, but all up I think Mariah will still do well out of it.
And I REALLY want a burger with extra pickles now.
You guys really suckMESMARIAHSING!

It almost does better than FILAC & Oh Santa! Remix combined LOL, and with zero promo.
And the song pulls AMAZING numbers on the Xmas week.
