The girl who lipped wolf (107,109) by Edward from USA
Celine was smart, she never focused too much on achieving number-one hits, yet she managed to earn widespread respect. She has always been consistent, endearing herself to fans and the general public alike. Like Barbra, she has maintained a loyal core fanbase that she can always rely on. Although she doesn't sell as many albums as she once did, she continues to sell concert tickets, and they are certainly not cheap.

One thing about Celine is that she's a true performer and entertainer; she never just stands there, and she can walk without help.

Merry Christmas anniversary want list (107,108) by C from United States
No thanks. No one is asking for this. There is no more juice in this fruit. The only thing I'd want released is a poster, the St. John the Divine concerts out in streaming (including Hero), and the r&b/video version of Miss You Most (At Christmas Time) added to streaming. I need to know what is planned for Daydream 30 - I have a feeling it's not much

I think Vegas is a cheaper way to stay in one place rather than traveling around to perform. So she’s adding more dates depending on the demand at the time in Vegas. If Mariah was seeing a decline in her accounts and needed more money we would be seeing a lot more side projects. She would still be releasing songs even though money is not in music that much anymore, but she would still bank on some sort of cash. I also think she would be open to more duets, movie rolls, or even doing another fast food promotion like with McDonalds a few years ago lol.

Lol. You are so funny, Randy. She probably wants to make sure Trey, Mary Ann, Sharlotte, Daniel, Kristofer, Danielle, the dancers and her band have an income during the year. They all have been with MC for quite a long time through it all.

By the way, did anyone notice on X on a rolling Christmas show date post two days ago that Olivia Rodrigo is going to be a guest at one the Christmas shows? It was rolling so fast with music attached to it that I couldn't stop it to see which city she will be a guest. I didn't get the poster's X name either.

I don't have any sources or receipts but maybe these residencies are to pay current bills and she only does the shows she needs at the time. She's probably miserable so it's like, "Ok add 5 more dates to get us through until the Christmas shows then after we'll be fine till March." I'm not saying Mariah is broke, because she's not. I think she's doing this for the massive overhead it costs to live her present lifestyle. Mariah please carry your own umbrella and stay at the Red Roof. This is not worth the pain under the Botox. I kid. I kid.

Wow. I bet the reason she is not even in the top 25 because her residences are not lengthy stays like the other ones.

I wonder if MC and Celine both are in the top ten for top grossing Vegas residencies.

Meant to say that Celine *has not* lip synced entire shows. Pardon my typo.

The reality is that the primary revenue stream for recording artists these days is through touring.

I just watched Celine Dion's recent documentary. Celine has been through a lot with her illness and has put tons of effort into getting back to performing. Yes, Celine has been lip syncing for quite some time. But she has lip synced entire shows, and her performances are full of passion and energy. She refused to perform shows when her condition got so bad she couldn't give 100 percent effort.

On the other hand, Mariah's live shows have been low energy since probably 2010. I went to "The Adventures of Mimi" and "Angels Advocate" shows in Atlanta; I definitely recall a steep decline between 2006 and 2010.

Fast forward to 2024, she's barely moving and now lip syncing entire shows except for a couple of minutes. Maybe she hasn't said anything because there's no legitimate explanation?

I just came to a disturbing realization. I'm literally arguing with another dear fan about what words she's lipping on the final two hooks of We Belong Together. And it dawned on me. This re-recording of different notes of climaxes and then copy and pasting it into live performances whereas she sings some words and not others is gonna cause people to believe even on a good vocal day, she's not singing. She needs to say something. Even if she's "resting her voice" but is being demanded to sing a lot she should say something. Because she has managed to squeak through GMA 2008, Rockefeller 2014 and NYE 2016. Note each of these disasters get worse. She should say something. Hmmmmm sounds like a good title for a song.

Told y'all (107,096) by Robert-Anthony from United States
We were just holding to that one last hope that she would because MC said in April that MC16 was coming soon. However, I knew the receipts weren't adding up this summer. She announced the 2025 Vegas shows two weeks ago and yesterday a 20-city Christmas tour. You may right about 2026. When is she going to have time to finish recording MC16 this year with a Christmas tour and finishing the special gifts for the Merry Christmas anniversary? And I can only assume the Butterfly Lounge tracks have been put away in her vault for now.

Told y'all (107,095) by T from USA
After she released the Yes, And remix I told you that she wasn't going to release a new album this year but instead concentrate on festivals, one off concerts and Vegas until it's time for Christmas. Everyone tried to insult me and said I was being negative when I was only telling the truth. I think some of you need to reassess your relationship with the truth and being able to accept it. It's too bad most lambs did nothing to support her two musical remix recordings this year to hold us over because Mariah won't be releasing a full album of new material until 2026. That's just the truth. Take it or leave it.

Article: Mariah celebrates 30th anniversary of "Merry Christmas" (107,094) by Robert-Anthony from United States
Merry Christmas only made it to #3 on the Billboard Holiday chart last year. It would be sweet if it makes it to the top spot this year. Michael Bube [sic] is always keeping Merry Christmas from being #1 each year. Maybe a AIWFCIY duet is one of the surprises. I hope it is Kelly Clarkson.

I actually don't mind now that MC16 is not happening. I hate summer and heat so this is more exciting for me - enjoying winter days with Mariah playing all day long.

I think at this point in her career, she should celebrate album anniversaries. Release more Rarities-type albums. Dig into that dang vault, lol. "I'm so excited"' just thinking about what she could possibly release for Daydream's 30th next year. Ya know Daydream and me go back like babies n' pacifiers.

MC is using her Queen of Christmas desigination and album anniversaries to work for her benefit. I am going to buy a ticket to see MC in Austin. I suppose Friday, November 8th or 15th will have something special released on one of those days.

Christmas shows (107,090) by Stacey from USA
I posted awhile back I'll be shocked if we ever see MC16 because with this Christmas concert news, you know where her head is. I can't blame her, though. She'll make more money these days milking the Christmas cash cow than releasing an album.

I wonder what other surprises she has planned. She has practically released everything CD and vinyl wise for Merry Christmas and AIWFCIY except for an acappella version of the whole album. Also, I am wondering if she is planning a new AIWFCIY video with a movie like production.

Good for her. I'm considering going to see her again when she comes through Atlanta. I wonder what other "surprises" she's got in store to celebrate the 30th anniversary. Hopefully in one of those fake gift boxes in the background sits MC16. Now that would be a sweet present for her fans. Doubtful but hopeful. Anyways, happy Friday everyone. Enjoy your weekend.
