Queen of Christmas (112,489) by Dove from United States I think she should try to trademark this again. Maybe she could write a Christmas song about the Virgin Mary and call the song "Queen of Christmas" so nobody gets any ideas. I don't know why other singers are against this. Mariah Carey is the queen of Christmas. Also, wishlist: Christmas duet with Kelly Clarkson Cover of Winter Wonderland Cover of Last Christmas by Wham Cover of Christmas Tree Farm by Taylor Swift Christmas duet with Doja Cat (original song with rap verses) (Monday 24 November 2025; 15:48)

Name as a brand (112,488) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands Marilyn Monroe's likeness is licensed through her estate, which is owned by Authentic Brands Group (ABG). Her name is used as a brand name for a wide variety of products and collaborations, including cosmetics, apparel, and accessories from different companies, such as the makeup line born from Stefano Cigana and collaborations with brands like DIFF Eyewear and Max Factor.

Name as a brand (112,487) by Dove from United States Maybe she should ask Shaquille O''Neal about how they use Marilyn Monroe's name for everything. One Christmas my mom got me some underwear that were "Marilyn Monroe" since she knows I like her. The only thing "Marilyn Monroe" about the underwear was the label because how would anyone know what kind of underwear she wore? One of them was cheetah print, one was black transparent with some lace, and the third was nude colored. I mean I guess she could have worn underwear like that but I know my mom bought them for the picture of Marilyn Monroe on the label. If it had any other label they wouldn't have been as special, I think. (Monday 24 November 2025; 15:34)

Waterford collab (112,486) by Dove from United States I was thinking of what I would like to be the shapes of the crystal Mariah ornaments and the first thing that came to mind was Mariah in the Honey video when she's climbing up the rope to get in the helicopter. I went to Hobby Lobby and saw some ornaments that reminded me of early Taylor Swift. It was the hands making the heart, a glittery guitar, some cowboys boots, and a cowboy hat. They weren't all pink. They weren't Taylor Swift ornaments but they're figures that immediately remind me of her. For Mariah one is definitely a butterfly. I like Elton's Red heart ornament that gives 10% to the Aids Foundation. She could have a pink or "pink yet lavender" ornament that gives a percentage to a charity. Another one that came to mind was a meme I saw of her where she has her finger in her ear with her eyes closed and her other arm in the air. I guess she's hitting the high notes. Crystal ornaments don't really have faces but there could be an indentation to show her eyes are closed and she could be wearing the stars crown she has in the "It's Time" Sephora ad.

Random thoughts (112,485) by Dove from United States I don't know if the people Taylor has working for her are younger or what, but she jumps on every marketing opportunity and puts out fun merch that you'd actually want to buy. I know a lot of us Mariah fans, we're older now, but we've been with her since we were kids. She brings out the kid in me. Not just because I've been a fan since I was a kid but also because she's like a big kid herself. Some of the merch I like, but a lot of it has been a miss for me. A while ago I got some of her wrapping paper that was fun. It had the cartoon version of her and her dog. I wrapped up some empty boxes with it and I put them out every year as decoration. Now her wrapping paper and annual ornaments just have her name or initials. It's quality paper but it's not fun. I'd rather buy fun wrapping paper at Home Goods than use that. I liked the Swarovski snowflake she had a few years back. Couldn't she do an ornament collaboration with Waterford like Elton John has? Release one every year? Or I've seen advertised some really cute advent calendars with each window having a mini figure of Mariah in her most famous ensembles. It's a scam, and 2D, but it would be cute if they were real. You could sell that for $120 ($10 per figure that probably cost a few dollars to make). I think people would buy it. But if it's quality. Not the ugly deformed faces the Hallmark ornaments have had in recent years. I've already said I prefer blow molds to inflatables. I like to use the same stuff year after year. Some of her merch is cute. I like the denim jacket and one of the sweatshirts she had the year she had the concert in New York during covid. Her kids were wearing it. But to get this stuff to sell you kind of need a promotional vehicle. Like with Disney. I know Disney would get a big cut but it's good marketing because it would reinforce the queen of Christmas idea and introduce kids to her voice. Maybe they could use the recordings of her when she was younger from the original Merry Christmas. I don't know how that works. (Just because if the Princess is a young girl she needs to sound young.) It would be nice if they included the duet with her mom as a tribute. Like, recreating the video in cartoon form. A few years ago I saw a short (reel?) of Kris Jenner's wrapping paper she made for her kids. It had drawings of her kids on it and it was really good. I'm not sure who the artist was but hire her for the wrapping paper. Or there's also an artist I've seen on Facebook whom I really like. I just looked her up, the page is called Hayden Williams Illustrations. That would be fun wrapping paper. (Or art prints.) (Monday 24 November 2025; 14:59)

Merch (112,484) by Dove from United States There's so much potential for quality, collectible merch. The stuff they have now is meh. Also, the angel Halloween costume was really cute. Her back up singers should have dressed up as angels too and thrown together a music video for Hark. The Herald Angels Sing. (Monday 24 November 2025; 14:35)

2005 (112,483) by Dove from United States You're probably right. I just feel like with a really good idea, things could take off again. (Monday 24 November 2025; 14:26) this is a reply to message 112,481

2005 (112,481) by Bobby A from United States I think he couldn't reinvent MC's career now being out of her life for so long. MC needs an up and coming business-minded CEO to manage her career. The music business is really challenging for a lot of R&B artists right now because they have managers who are not marketing the whole artist anymore. Their mindset today is to release a couple of singles for streaming success and then drop the album one year later hoping for huge album numbers. Summer Walker's Finally Over It is really suffering from this business strategy. (Monday 24 November 2025; 12:52)

Some say that's tough (112,477) by Edward from USA While listening to "Here For It All", I noticed a brief distortion that sounds like a sped-up, slightly warped male voice, almost the way a CD glitches for a split second. At first I thought it was just my copy, but I checked the YouTube lyric video and the distortion is there as well. It happens right after she finishes the line: "Some say that's tough." And for some reason, once I heard it, I can't unhear it. Every time I listen, it jumps out at me. Can any of you hear it as well? Do you think it's intentional, part of the production, or does it sound like someone saying something in the background? If you can make out what that brief sound/voice might be, I'd love to know. If you can't hear it, I think it's time for me to check my meds and get them right. (Monday 24 November 2025; 01:18)

Some say that's tough (112,479) by Lambi from USA Someone said "oooh", I think Bobby A is correct, sounded like Daniel Moore was giving her props for writing such a great lyric. Also, "Someone said that's tough" is probably inspired by Rocky. Gen Z boys always comment "dats tuff" when something goes hard on social media and I agree. "And thank the Lord I lived to see the physical embodiment of love" is pretty "tuff". The next line, "But when you leave, you take away a little bit of every fiber that's embedded in me" is also pretty dang tuff and profound. I understand it even more now because her book discussed how Mariah's body really went through the ringer while being pregnant with the twins. Poisonous edema, gestational diabetes and she gained a hundred pounds. She quite literally couldn't have loved harder physically. It's pure labor of love. I think Mara was correct about the song's first stanzas being about Dem Kids leaving to be with Nick for the weekend or something. That would be pretty heavy for MC, considering that they're truly the only ones who's shown her unconditional love, it's deep. Letting go ain't easy.

Some say that's tough (112,478) by Bobby A from United States Lambi was trying to figure it out too on October 1st . I think HFIA was recorded in multiple parts over 3 years and that part was the best take. So, MC decided to include Daniel's hot mic part. (Monday 24 November 2025; 02:00)

A little life update (112,475) by Lambi from USA Congrats Mimi L. You have been heaven blessed. Raising a child is the most rewarding and there is not a job more significant (I have 4 nephews, 2 nieces). Family truly is so sacred. "We're the only thing that's true." I am so elated for you, darling. (Sunday 23 November 2025; 13:49) this is a reply to message 112,447

A little life update (112,447) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I wanted to share some good news with my little MCA family, it's also the reason I've been MIA mostly the past few months. My husband and I are expecting our first baby, a little baby girl. You best believe she will be introduced to Mariah really early on so we will have a baby lamb joining the lambily soon. Who knows down the line Eric may have a new member join this board haha. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers. Promise I won't be influenced by Nick Cannon's baby names. (Thursday 20 November 2025; 12:44)

I won't allow it (112,474) by Lambi from USA "He can have relationships with as many women but she's not allowed to date others." I lied, I didn't think it was possible but I did somehow find another reason to dislike him even more. He's literally so ghetto. He got to level up with Mariah and experience the grandiosity of life but he basically chose to go back to the projects and do hoot rat shit. Could've been jets on holidays and chefs with hollandaise but Nick will forever love his Chick-fil-A. All of his baby mamas have the same mold too. Instagram addicted models that are attention starved. I truly do not understand why they would even entertain the idea of pro-creating with someone who treats relationships this way or why they'd want to be part of his rotation. The dynamic is impossible to justify. The money can't make up for it, and in the end, it's really the kids who will inevitably have to suffer the consequences.

I won't allow it (112,446) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I can't believe at one point I wanted Mariah to get back with Nick so that her family could be whole again. She probably made the best decision leaving him. I wouldn't be surprised if they drifted apart because Nick was jealous of Mariah's fame, since he has such a big ego and of course some cheating on the side. He seems to be a very controlling person with this "harem" mentality. Because one of his baby mamas - (mom of Legendary Love) called Bre is on this reality show called Selling Sunset and she seems completely brainwashed to believe the relationship arrangement they are in is a healthy one - basically he can have relationships with as many women but she's not allowed to date others. Brainwashed is probably not the correct word because of course a lot of these women are with him due to his money and connections. Bre said she doesn't get child support because apparently after a certain number of babies you don't have to pay, but even if that's true his connections are valuable to her as she sells (or pretends to sell) luxury real estate in LA and the connections help. Anyways Nick is vile and I'm glad he's gone, just sad that for him E=MC2 didn't get a fair shot at a big success. (Thursday 20 November 2025; 12:39)

I won't allow it (112,473) by Lambi from USA Monroe was a gorgeous choice. I was iffy with Morrocan because that's like naming your kid "German" or "Ethiopian" and no one does that, also neither Mariah nor Nick is Moroccan. I get he proposed in the Moroccan room so it holds some meaning, they also liked it because it rhymes with "Rakim" but I would've just chosen Rakim. Rak N Roe would've still worked. Moroccan eventually just became Rocky though, so it's not that bad. (Sunday 23 November 2025; 13:04) this is a reply to message 112,435

I won't allow it (112,435) by Edward from USA Naming a boy Legendary Love is diabolical. But instead of blaming Nick, I blame the baby mamas who let him choose those hideous names. (Wednesday 19 November 2025; 01:05)

AIWFC and In Your Feelings (112,472) by jaker20 from US Some thoughts: I think at the very least, AIWFCIY get at least 1 week on top this year, tying the record. But it will be very close this year. Last Christmas nearly beat it on Thursday, and it's close again yesterday. Bruno Mars: I don't understand why lambs are spreading this bs, it's not going to happen. In Your Feelings is doing well on urban radio but those are pay for play. They're not organic. I think if they want to push it as a single, they should do it after the holidays. Right now, it is hurting AIWFCIY this year, her team is not focused and neither are fans. The more they push In Your Feelings right now, the more both will fail. Last year, she had promos and photoshoots about the new vinyl covers, there was a lot from her during the first weeks of November. But this year, because of HFIA, Mariah is likely already worn out and you can feel it from the lack of activity from her and her team. And that slight dip of push from her team have a big impact on algorithms for AIWFC. We'll see. (Sunday 23 November 2025; 04:23) this is a reply to message 112,469

A lukewarm reception and a seven year absence (112,469) by T from USA It's Time... to let the Christmas thing go and do its own thing. I actually prefer the it's time announcement and that's it in terms of promoting AIWFCIY. Less is more now. The song has gone to #1 for eighteen weeks. After this year she will own the record for longest #1 hit, that's enough for me. Even if it never hits the top spot again after this year that will be okay and the song will always be legendary. HFIA suffered not from the long wait but from Christmas itself. That's all people want from Mariah, and all she wants is you. (Saturday 22 November 2025; 14:15)

A lukewarm reception and a seven year absence (112,471) by Zachariah from Croatia I noticed that as well and said to myself, where is she these days?Either she is cooking something or else. Caution was a good album but HFIA is better but again, wrong singles (Play This Song ) with a boring video and Sugar Sweet (without a video) messed up everything. I don't wanna see of hear In Your Feeling as a next single with Bruno Mars on it. Enough with duets. I want Nothing Is Impossible with an amazing video right before Christmas. Or, she should just go crazy and release a grunge album with her as Bianca. (Saturday 22 November 2025; 18:12) this is a reply to message 112,468

A lukewarm reception and a seven year absence (112,468) by Bobby A from United States You know it is funny that MC has been really quiet on social media since her "It's Time" video. Her Las Vegas Christmas shows begin November 28 and she has not promoted it at all. And it was reported across multiple social media websites and ABC news that she is worried that AIWFCiY may underperform this year. Do you think MC is feeling the effects of HFIA's lukewarm sales and chart performance? Caution and its singles were still on everyone's mind for at least 6 months after the album's release. I am sure Gamma has already formally reduced MC's contract payout to get back the label's negative overhead cost for HFIA's low sales numbers. A seven year absence and the wrong choice of producers may be what caused HFIA's lukewarm sales reception. Could AiWFCIY's popularity lose its hold after this year?

The same with John Legend, where we have at least this one live version. (Thursday 20 November 2025; 15:51)

A little life update (112,464) by Stacey from USA Absolutely. Kids do have a mind of their own. I thought I might have had a breakthrough during the summer of 2017. My kids loved listening to the "you don't know" song aka You Don't Know What To Do as we drove to swimming lessons. They were 9, 7, and 4 at the time. But alas, Minecraft, Roblox, Nintendo Switch, art, drawing, etc are more important. I will say my 17 year old daughter calls Mariah the queen of Christmas. She says no Christmas music before Halloween since "the queen hasn't thawed yet". She loved this year's It's Time video. So, all is not lost, I guess. (Friday 21 November 2025; 16:40)
