Meds / Andrea (113,908) by Carlos from United Kingdom
Andréa is Mariah's assistant as far as I know, been with her a while now, but [there] might be another Andrea I've missed?

Who is Andrea? I have really no idea. From the "management" team?

Meds / Andrea (113,906) by Giovanni from USA
I'm so over Mariah being doped up on the meds, it's so sad and cringe. No other artist or celebrity is as robotic and controlled as she is. I mean if that's what it takes to contain her bipolar disorder it's not worth it. She is not even the same Mariah 6 years ago. Also that Andrea woman that is always with her needs to chill. I get that she's doing her job and is earning her paycheck but when I saw a clip of Mariah talking with Kim K she couldn't even have a conversation because Andrea popped up and was giving the hint to Mariah to move along. Is she with her 24/7? Does anyone else agree with me?

Where is the key for stamina, motivation and good music? (113,905) by nancy from Switzerland
It is better if MC hangs out with less superficial people. Those encounters have a impact on her image, stamina and her motivation lately. True legends are known for their talent not only because of their dresses. Kylie Minogue, Patti Labelle, Madonna still are making new music. It seems that the only motivation is her looks and to sing her old stuff. And it is not even live anymore most of the time.The only presence that we see is when she gets out to eat. I hope she finds the key to reopen her talent and her motivation.

I absolutely agree. I'm dissapointed too. Why Mariah why? Please stay away from such people.

1992 Interview (113,903) by Billy from Greece
This is so early 90s coded - from the talk show host to the audience. Where has the time gone? That's between Emotions and Unplugged.

Ewww. I can't stand the Kardashians and what they represent. I'm disappointed she gets along with those people. Personal opinion, not gonna matter anyway but just wanted to express it.

Petal collaboration (113,901) by Lighty from China
No no dear Bobby A, I love reading your posts because you're always hopeful and positive about everything. I was just saying that based on Mariah's recent collaborations of the past few years with Ari, Latto, etc. None of those made any big splashes.

Petal collaboration (113,900) by Bobby A from United States
I am just hopeful for it. Lighty, what message of mine last year did I lose my creditability with you? Just joking, but you have been calling me out a lot lately. I don't make crazy predictions like I did during the Memoirs and MIAM eras. Lol. I ponder over my posts now before I hit the submit button.

A direct tribute to MC or a collaboration doesn't automatically make it a hit though.

Petal collaboration (113,898) by Bobby A from United States
Since Ariana's new single is about her fans, I am hoping the second single is a direct tribute to MC or a collaboration. It only makes sense in my opinion for hit second single. Also, pop radio needs a certified pop hit this summer. There hasn't been one at all this year.

Article: Mariah Carey to take Christmastime special international (113,897) by Lambi from USA
I love this so much. Fresh off the peak of her superstardom and commercial success, she was probably at her most confident/ambitious state, eager to really meet and exceed expectations even way more. Also happened to be in a perfect pristine vocal condition; right in between MB and DD. I'm shamelessly on board with this being the Mariah most will remember. I know WBT is absolutely up to par, but that God-given youthful tone she had in 94 just can't be quite recaptured. She didn't exactly step back vocally either. It's a beautiful showcase of her immense musical talent and I'm glad everyone is reminded annually.

Article: Mariah Carey to take Christmastime special international (113,896) by Lambi from USA
Christmas could have potentially belonged to Whitney, Aretha, or any other vocally gifted soulful singer, but it was Mariah who God ultimately handpicked for the season. She was given an assignment in 94, and she simply did a phenomenal job.

It's a double-edged sword though, it's a yearly commercial phenomenon but it also does inevitably reduce her to Christmas. However, from a business stand point, it makes perfect sense to jump in on a stock that predictably spikes up every November and December. You'd be an idiot to not.

It may have irked her not having massive soundtrack success like Whitney and Celine did but now that All I Want has reached full resurgence and completely dominates every holiday season, I don't think she's capable of being bitter at all. You just can't be. You just become perpetually festive.

Mariah: remixed and reimagined (113,895) by John from USA
Current artists are actually not as fortunate as the 80s through early 2000s, where album and single sales made up much of their earnings. Most have to depend on concert ticket sales and endorsements. Currently only Taylor Swift seems to be selling concert tickets reliably, while others have been canceling tour dates here and there. Mariah has an extensive catalogue that needs to be reintroduced to a modern audience. I think she should work with new producers, give them her songs (along with raw recording outtakes from the original recordings) for them to be remade. This would help reintroduce her catalogue to the youth. While Mariah is fortunate she has Christmas to always fall back on, she is so much more than just one holiday season.

What a breath of fresh air MCA is (113,894) by Syed from UK
Thanks Xavier, it's: VisionOfLamb_ and it's the 2nd post down. Excited to see what you make of it. Ultimately I hope to re-record it professionally and release in as many languages as possible, even if that means giving it away to artists in other countries to translate and release themselves. Mariah gave me the gift of hope. I would love to pay it forward.

P.s One of her songs is referenced in it too

Article: Mariah Carey to take Christmastime special international (113,892) by Lainsky from Philippines
Thank you, MusicfanJ. And Zachariah, I totally agree with cultural permanence. Mariah has undoubtedly become a part of the global cultural Christmas celebration, and this is her legacy for the season alone, distinct from her broader influence in the music industry, where she is a legacy in her own right, meaning the historical impact she has made.

Article: Mariah Carey to take Christmastime special international (113,891) by Stacey from USA
Seriously, right? I agree with you 100%. To write and sing an original holiday song that is mentioned alongside the such great Christmas classics like White Christmas and The Christmas Song is probably her greatest accomplishment. You can't ring in holidays without singing, "I, don't want a lot for Christmas..." That song is a part of the standard hits we sing each year. It amazes me that the song seems to grow in popularity each year. Name another artist that has done this.

I think the issue is that we want MC to have a couple of pop and R&B songs as hits during the year before AIWFCIY takes over radio in November and December.

Article: Mariah Carey to take Christmastime special international (113,889) by Zachariah from Croatia
If an artist has one song that returns to No. 1 globally every single year for decades, that's not irrelevance - that's cultural permanence. Most artists would love to have one song with that level of longevity. Mariah has an entire career plus the biggest modern Christmas song. Being relevant every December for 30+ years is still being relevant.

Thank you for saying this. Christmas is indeed the cherry on the cake. I mean you can look at any legacy artist and critique away. Mariah has what every artist wants: a long career. She's got it too. Period.

"Music enthusiasts from the '90s and 2000s know that Mariah's legacy extends far beyond the holiday season." Absolutely. Hundred thumbs up. For me the "Christmas queen" thing is just a a cherry on the cake. She'll always be the queen of the ballads, the trendsetter of the 90ies, the female singer who broke every record, who writes her own songs, the one and only Miss Mariah Carey.

Based on the comments I've read so far, more than half of the people are unhappy with this news. Well, IMHO, no one should be scared or worried about Mariah's legacy. Whether we like it or not, Christmas is already a part of that legacy, a huge one, which makes sense since the song and the album peaked and achieved success in the latter part of her career. So, for the younger fans or people who witnessed it, they have come to know her through it more than the impact she has already made in the first fifteen years of her music career. For the people and lambs who witnessed her success in those times, whether we like it or not, that success is already part of her legacy. Most people from that era will always remember her for the songs and albums that profoundly impacted their lives. That kind of legacy is even more significant than "All I Want for Christmas Is You". Mariah Carey will always be celebrated for her vocal talent, chart-topping successes, and timeless, heartfelt lyrics, as well as for her inspiring songs that have influenced and transformed the pop and R&B music industry. If these elements don't define Mariah's legacy, then I don't know what does. While many people over the past ten years may associate her primarily with Christmas, music enthusiasts from the '90s and 2000s know that Mariah's legacy extends far beyond the holiday season.

Yes, you're right. It's easy money to make without putting in much effort. It would be foolish not to take advantage of it while it lasts.

I totally agree with you. MC is so much more than just a Christmas act. We all know that. However, when the checks from regular album sales don't cut it anymore, and haven't for a long time, it is nice to see MC has something solid to fall back on each year.
