Gucci Christmas ad (114,884) by D from United States I thought the same thing - they should have used it for Halloween instead. The first thing that came to mind was that Hunger Games scene where they're at the fancy party and the Capitol people throw up their food so they can continue eating. Both the men and the women look kind of scary. We definitely aren't the target audience. I think that unnatural "Mar-a-Lago" look is attractive to the people who can afford those clothes from Bergdorf's. I mean, they could have hired anyone, and they chose those people to have fake-laughing and talking. No shade to the clothes, though - the clothes from Bergdorf's are stunning. At least Mariah looked prettier and more human in comparison. The room they were in was really pretty, too. Some of the people looked normal, but I was so focused on the ones who didn't that I missed them on the first watch. I liked how regal Mariah looked as she walked in like a queen. I mean, I'm glad someone gets to be fabulous. She must have accumulated a lot of good karma to have all those talents, beauty, and luck, including being discovered at such a young age, and maintaining success for almost 40 years.

Gucci Christmas ad (114,882) by MusicfanJ from Germany I absolutely can't relate to this ad. The people look really strange. I had to think about the movie (the women from Stepford) lol. I always find artificial looking people a bit scary indeed. Mariah should have used this for Halloween. But seriously, this kind of ad is one reason why the image is like it is. The "It's time" video is way better, even with the perfume ad. (Tuesday 3 November 2026; 13:08)

Gucci Christmas ad (114,883) by Edward from USA I think they were going for The Devil Wears Prada vibes, with Miranda on her way to the office. To be honest, I was feeling it until the elevator doors opened and those Twilight Zone looking people showed up. It's nothing to start cooking up conspiracy theories over, but that whole bit was awkward as hell. At this point, Mariah moves like a robot. She can't even stand or walk naturally anymore. Everything revolves around the caked up makeup, the weaves, and endless beauty shots. If you can't rock those high heels with grace, you might as well wear flats. At this point, the whole thing is getting ridiculously awkward. (Tuesday 3 November 2026; 14:33) this is a reply to message 114,882

Gucci Christmas ad (114,873) by D from United States It does feel strange. It was weird how the bellboy was shown at the end. Why? To show us that regular working people aren't welcome in the club? Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but the whole thing felt strange. I appreciate pretty clothes, pretty rooms, and pretty people. Not necessarily cookie-cutter pretty. I like interesting faces, too, like you see in older movies. But a lot of the people in this ad don't look human. Who are these people? I think they were trying to portray her as a queen, and I absolutely consider Mariah Carey American royalty. But something about it just felt off. It didn't feel like a "good" kind of royalty. I hate to say anything negative about Mariah. She looked really pretty. But is this who she is? It can't be. I don't think people automatically lose their humanity just because they become wealthy. There are plenty of rich people who have managed to hold on to their humanity. Don't hate on me for this, but I have a conspiracy theory. What if someone drugs wealthy and influential people to make them easier to control? I was watching a documentary about "passport bros" who travel to other countries looking for women. Apparently, scopolamine (Devil's Breath) is sometimes used to drug and rob men. It made me wonder whether darker people behind the scenes could get wealthy and influential people addicted to drugs as a way of controlling them. It wouldn't be the first time we've heard allegations of something like that. For example, Diddy's former security reportedly talked about a plan to get the girls in Danity Kane hooked on drugs so they could be exploited. I've been a Mariah Carey fan since I was a little kid, when she first came out. I feel like I know her through her music. I've always felt that she's a light soul. She's human, and I'm sure she sometimes makes the wrong choices or aligns herself with the wrong people. But for the most part, I've always believed she's a good soul. I don't know. Something about this just feels so off. (Tuesday 3 November 2026; 06:32)

Gucci advert (114,881) by Jamie from UK I enjoyed the advert, she looked beautiful, but the last bit where she mouthed the words to ALWFCIY is terrible. She could have done much better than that and is more than capable. (Tuesday 3 November 2026; 10:43) this is a reply to message 114,870

Reasons and excuses for why Mariah can't sing or move anymore (114,879) by Lainsky from Philippines It only demonstrates that Mariah is perfectly human, an imperfect angel, I must say. (Tuesday 3 November 2026; 08:27) this is a reply to message 114,861

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. (Monday 2 November 2026; 15:23)

Article: Mariah dons fur and shades in Gucci's Holiday campaign (114,878) by Lainsky from Philippines After seeing the campaign, my first thought was, "The lambs will gonna be critical (as always) about this." And reading the entries here... well, I guess... you tell me. I got used to her luxuriance and inability to be what lambs expect her to be, so I simply chose to enjoy the ad because I still adore her no matter what. (Tuesday 3 November 2026; 08:24)

Walmart Christmas line, please? (114,877) by D from United States I wish Mariah had a Christmas line of decorations at Walmart so regular people could afford it. I save money all year to deck my house out for Halloween and Christmas, and I buy most of my decorations at Walmart and HomeGoods. I add a few new things to my collection every year, so I appreciate when something is a little bit better quality. You can find some really good-quality pieces for $20-$100 at those stores. Dolly Parton has a holiday line at Walmart, and all the items are super cute. I don't hate Mariah for wanting to partner with brands she actually uses. I would do the same thing. But could we also get something affordable for the working folks? Ha ha. (Not that super wealthy people don't work, but I would argue that someone who can afford $7K dresses wouldn't technically need to work if they budgeted their money differently. ) (Tuesday 3 November 2026; 08:05)

Gucci ad (114,876) by D from United States I just watched it again and thought about how I had said in another post that I wanted to see what a Mariah Carey party is like. Is this what it's like? Lol. I mean, I guess it is pretty fabulous. It's just not what I imagined. And isn't this the brand that features "scary" ads and models? That brand is out of my budget, but if it were in my budget, I would buy the purple butterfly tank. Maybe I just don't understand high fashion well enough to appreciate the ad. Ha ha. At least Mariah still looks beautiful, and they didn't shave off her eyebrows. I just looked up the line, and it's all so beautiful. If I could afford it, I would buy the entire line. It's all so pretty. If she gets these clothes for free plus gets paid, good for her. Get your bag girl. (Tuesday 3 November 2026; 07:06)

Article: Mariah Carey drops "Glitter" 25th Anniversary Edition (114,875) by D from United States I love the extra tracks and am glad she released them. I don't usually buy vinyl, but I caved and bought the purple one, mostly for decoration. I wanted the pink one, but I thought about it for too long, and it sold out. I also bought the purple Loverboy t-shirt she wore on TRL. I've always wanted that shirt. I'll probably get one of those vinyl display frames that show both the album cover and the actual record, too. Christmas is coming early for me this year. I used to avoid buying albums because I thought I'd have to buy them all, but I think having one special one for decoration will suffice. (Tuesday 3 November 2026; 06:51)

Article: Mariah goes punk before declaring "It's Time" for Christmas (114,874) by D from United States I liked it this year. It was fun and different. I loved how it really felt like 1995, with her as one of The Misfits from Jem and the Holograms. And then she was on top of Grinchland. (Tuesday 3 November 2026; 06:41)

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).

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. (Monday 2 November 2026; 20:58) this is a reply to message 114,453

A Glitter soundtrack shift is happening (114,453) by Bobby A from United States I feel the Glitter soundtrack is about to have the same monolithic cultural dominance that Prince's Purple Rain has. We are about to see a shift in the public's viewpoint about Glitter because of what is happening on social media with DMTTYO and the remix. I feel MC is going to release one of the 14 other additional tracks as the next single with a major Gucci video and Glitter TV promotion prior to the October 30th release date. She needs to take advantage of the Glitter 25 hype to showcase her powerhouse vocals during the Glitter era. Who knows what extraordinary things will happen for Glitter and MC on October 30th. By the way, I can totally see Leon Thomas, Lucky Daye, and Tank on a remix of If We. (Sunday 23 August 2026; 06:12)

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. (Monday 2 November 2026; 20:22)

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. (Monday 2 November 2026; 20:17) this is a reply to message 114,864

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.
