Leave the woman alone and enjoy the add. I think she did great.

A Glitter soundtrack shift is happening (114,869) by Bobby A from United States
I knew I should have not mentioned Gucci in this post. It's all my fault for jinxing MC.

Gucci advert (114,868) by nancy from Switzerland
I just saw the advert. This video looks scary to me. The experession of [these] people look strange and totally inauthentic. I also don't like that vibe, that everyone has to run immediately for her before she arrives. She wanted to combine fashion with her Christmas season. She loses more and more touch to normal things and is detached to normal people. But apparently she needs that for her self esteem. I appreciate the videos where she bakes cookies, where she cooks anointed greens, the Christmas videos where she is surrounded by her family and John Legend on a simple piano, where she played with her dogs while giving an interview. [There's] so much war in this world, where people suffer and die. I think it's not the right time to chose this campaign especially when the topic is Christmas. Oh Mariah.

Gucci advert (114,867) by MusicfanJ from Germany
I don't like the clip/advert. I thought the same, it looks extreme artificial even for a commercial. I'm sorry, but I really don't feel it. Plus I can't connect with Gucci. Lol. Remember the commercials from Japan in the 90ies? They were fun and enjoyable.

All I Want For Christmas (114,866) by Jamie from UK
I've just seen they have released some new vinyls and CD's of AIWFC. I wish she would ditch those awful covers that she released last year. They are not the best pictures of her at all. Whoever commissioned them needs sacking. They are over filtered and not flattering at all, she could have had much nicer pictures than that.

Gucci advert (114,864) by John from USA
Oh my. That's really sad. On another note: looks like they cast people that look less human than Mariah to make her look as normal as possible (just a few more notches less odd than the people on Madonna's Drowned World/Substitute for Love MV).

Have you seen the new Gucci advert? She can't even lip sync in that either.

Reasons and excuses for why Mariah can't sing or move anymore (114,861) by Lighty from China
Also her lips barely moved during the "underneath the Christmas trees" line in this year's It's Time video. I wondered what actually happened to her.

Reasons and excuses for why Mariah can't sing or move anymore (114,860) by John from USA
At this point, I would settle for her at least move normally even when lipsynching. Her punk girl skit was atrocious because she hardly moved. The Type Dangerous video as glossy it might have been, did not move people, partly because she barely moved.

Glitter 25 deluxe (114,859) by Lighty from China
I happened to watch this video the other day on why rappers stopped featuring on pop songs. To summarize: rappers are expensive, risky and not the guarantee to chart success anymore. Also, nowadays songs are too short to feature rap verses, and rappers themselves are singing anyway.

So funny watching MC jumping into the crowd. Usually she is always so ladylike with her movements.

Could this be a hint about SUD's release this Christmas?

Glitter 25 deluxe (114,855) by Bobby A from United States
Yes, I think rap features are almost non-existent these days. The Distance featured Ty Dolla $ign and he sang his verses. R&B and pop artists are including features with artists that are more of a collaborative feature who can provide a melodic hook like Chris Brown on Leon Thomas' Mutt remix or Zara Larason's female features on her Midnight Sun: Girls Trip remix album. Timeless by Weekend ft. Playboi Carti was the last top 10 Hot 100 rap feature peaking at number 3 in 2024.

Glitter 25 deluxe (114,853) by Edward from USA
I'm so glad the mandatory rap feature era seems to be over. Mariah didn't have any on HFIA, and Ariana didn't have one on either of her last two albums. That formula was getting so tired and overused. I'm so happy to see it finally go.

Article: Mariah goes punk before declaring "It's Time" for Christmas (114,852) by MusicfanJ from Germany
What do you all think of this clip? I was surprised. So that was the meaning of Mariah's hint? Mariah the punk chick, and then the Christmas MC. Is this a song from the hidden grunge album SUD?

Glitter 25 deluxe (114,851) by MusicfanJ from Germany
Yes, I agree too. I liked the intro with Fabolous but with Busta it was just too much going on. At the end of the song it became almost funny with Busta's "mission". Lol. I remember when I first listened to it with my best friend back then and we had to laugh because of Busta Ryhmes on it. Maybe DJ Clue just thought it was cool, I don't know. I have to revisit the song. I like the original and I love that Mariah loves the 80ies song as well and did a cover of it.

Glitter 25 deluxe (114,850) by BFF from US
There were some promo singles with multiple "Radio Edits" of the song. I'm surprised they didn't surface for the anniversary. I totally agree about the excessive rap verses. I think the Fabolous verse was fine, but Busta Rhymes was straight up irritating and should have been left off.

Out Here On My Own (114,848) by Lainsky from Philippines
When I first heard this song in 2020, I became teary-eyed due to the emotions conveyed as she sang it with all her heart. While the alternate take is undoubtedly good, similar to Lead The Way, the Glitter version is way better. It is one of my favorite Mariah covers. It deserves to be released commercially. Who knows? It could be her next Without You or even better. Just saying.

Bill, you have to give the song another try. The live performances are better and less of the rap vocals.
