Merry Christmas anniversary want list (107,119) by Robert-Anthony from United States
Album sales have been poor for artists like Normani whose album was delayed after multiple delays for two years along with singles that were lackluster. Dua Lipa's three singles failed to make the top 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and they were just lackluster in terms of her previous singles from Physical. Plus, Taylor dominated the singles and album charts for 4 months causing fans and record shops to keep her on top on the charts.

Wait a minute, did Normani finally release her debut album? If she did and it flopped, it shouldn't surprise anyone. She took a long time.

Return to roots (107,117) by Jamie from UK
I was just listening to Music Box and Emotions in the gym, and it got me thinking why Mariah never returned to doing a mainly ballad album with a few uptempo numbers. Yes she likes RnB but that doesn't mean it has to be your main focus for the rest of your career. Those types of albums worked for her and it's a shame she got stuck in the same RnB vibe for so long. Going back to a ballad album and then next album after that could have been more RnB. Do you think it's more to do with proving to Tommy that she can make it no matter what? I just think it would have been nice for her to experiment a bit more over the years, show us she's still got that soul sound she had on Emotions and the heart wrenching lyrics of Music Box. Just seems to me she made up her mind to break away from what she was and take a completely new direction and leave her core fan base behind. I'm grateful for the music we've had over the years but it would have been nice and I think beneficial to her career/likability with the general public had she not complete abandoned the image and music she was most famous for. Give us back that Soul influenced, Gospel loving Mariah that we knew and mix it with some RnB and you will have some happy lambs. I get she was affected by Tommy but that was 28 years ago now. Yes she's had some great success since but the diva show and lackluster songs are not working for her anymore. Surely she must see that. She always reflects on the great early days of her career in a positive way now, she needs to dig deep into herself and bring out the caring likeable lady she once was.

Okay, but Cher announced her Christmas in early September. I always refer to Metacritic's new album list for each month. Billboard just released their new album list for August-October. There is not one Christmas album listed for October. At least there would be somebody major on the list for October. Maybe no one wants to release a Christmas album this year because so many albums flopped from Dua Lipa to Normani to Camila Cabello. I think MC has Christmas this year without any distractions like what happened with Brenda Lee.

It's August. Someone is always releasing a holiday album (that's M's impact). They usually don't announce it until October.

That sounds obvious. Have you seen the new build arena for Adele in Munich? I think it's pretty cool. But you US lambs are lucky to have Vegas. Too far away for me.

Yes, it seems the super rich people always fear to loose their money and lifestyle. I would be happy with 1 million euro. I'm humble. Lol. I would travel around the world and that's it. But I wouldn't need luxury. For me to have a good time is more luxeus than a new car or expensive brands. And of course health is the most important thing. But back to Mariah and Vegas. What Robert-Anthony assumed is sounding nice. Gigs for the band and dancers. Will Trey be in Vegas too? I love that he and Mariah are still on stage together. Their "chemistry" is wonderful.

Let's not go overboard with the sudden Celine worship. She has always been ripped apart for her artistry and seen as the lest cool of the divas up until she became a fashion icon. Why do you all make it seem like Mariah was obsessed with #1 hits? Which popular artist isn't keeping an eye on the charts? Celine was chart watching just all of them were in their prime.

I was just thinking again today as I prepare to return to my long work days this week. We all know MC is just not going out on a 20 city tour without some huge Merry Christmas album surprises to support the tour and the Merry Christmas 30th anniversary. As far as I can find with my research, no one else is releasing a new Christmas album this year. So, MC just may do extremely well this Christmas season.

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.

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.

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.

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.
