Re: AIWFC (69,978) (69,982) by darrian liu from taiwan Last year's chart trajectory for AIWFCIY is 26-22-18-11. Currently it's charting at #17 and it's still mid-December, while last year at around this date AIWFCIY had just made its debut at #26. The possibility of a top 5 is increasing this year, especially with the cute AIWFCIY video from James Corden which is bound to get viral (I hope). The goal of the IG lambs is to hit #1, but I don't think it's gonna happen this year, but a top 10 is almost certain. (Friday 16 December 2016; 8:40)

Carpool Karaoke (69,980) by Malcolm from Asia I can't, most of the stars that were featured in Carpool Karaoke are singing along to AIWFCIY. Thankful to James Corden for giving Mariah this much importance, after all she's the first one to do this segment. Just imagine, they actually shot a AIWFCIY part for most of the Carpool Karaoke this year, it's just brilliant. (Friday 16 December 2016; 7:30)

Re: Beacon (69,962) (69,979) by Mara from United States Tevin, I hope you enjoy your first Mariah experience and that she does come out around the time she is supposed to. What a way to see her for the first time. There really is just something magical about her Beacon shows. There is so much put into it and she really genuinely seems to enjoy it. I really do think it is because she really does love Christmas so much. I have no doubt you will love it. She ended up coming on around 8:40 which was not that bad considering what I have heard from the staff at the Beacon. The show was wonderful but for some reason it did seem shorter than the last two years. Mariah sounded strong but something seemed off with her last night. She seemed to be someplace else. Like she was there, but she seemed distant. She wasn't as talkative as she was previous years and it kind of seemed rushed. Of course last year I was at that magical show when she came up with "Christmas In New York" and that show was just like pure heaven in every way. Anyhow, when she came out with AIWFCIY, Stella comes out with her iPhone and started filming in the isle. She was posing for pics with fans but was not overly expressive. No special guests at our show last night but all in all, still a solid festive show. (Friday 16 December 2016; 3:16)

Re: AIWFC (69,967) (69,978) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines I'd be over the moon if it actually breaks into the top 10 in the following weeks. Does anyone remember its chart trajectory last year before it peaked at #11? It may give us an idea of how it performs this year. I have a feeling it's doing better this year.

Instagram (69,977) by G.G. from USA I thought this was pretty cute. (Friday 16 December 2016; 0:54)

Re: Moroccan and Monroe (69,913) (69,976) by MusicfanJ from Germany For me it seems like she "prefers" (I know it sounds mean) Monroe. She's her little princess. And I do think she reminds her of herself when she was little. Of course both kids are really sweet, but Monroe has something special. I can imagine she got some talent from Mariah.

Re: Lionel Richie - joint tour (69,973) (69,975) by RibbonB from USA They are actually advertised as co-headliners, so they will both put on a full set. Luther Vandross and Anita Baker did this back in the day and the show was full for each and epic. Major acts often tour together and give fans a lot of bang for their bucks.

Article: Two Billboard editors discuss the holiday show (69,974) by Malcolm from Asia That "No lip sync stuff" though lol, everyone knows it ain't true. Other than that, I love their review. (Thursday 15 December 2016; 18:13)

Lionel Richie - joint tour (69,973) by Tyler from USA I really wish they elaborated on this whole "featured guest". Will she be singing her own songs or joining him for some of his hits? I have to be honest, I have zero desire to see or hear him. I'm in my late 20's and can probably name only one of his songs. Mariah is in a unique phase in her career where her fan base is all over the place (which is great). I can't justify paying $100 plus if she plays a small part in this tour. I also been fortunate to see her this year in Vegas and The Beacon. I've been spoiled and really only want to see her in these intimate settings. This may be the first time I skip seeing MC in the states. (Thursday 15 December 2016; 17:08)

Re: Buzzfeed article (69,971) (69,972) by Carlos from Brazil I couldn't agree more. It is a must read for sure. (Thursday 15 December 2016; 16:40)

Re: Buzzfeed article (69,954) (69,971) by Edouard from France I totally agree. Probably the best article ever written about Mariah, the human being. Love the insight. Love how they analysed her without inventing stuff and how they "explain" her choices and where they are rooted. It's clearly written by someone who cares about her as an artist and as a person.

Re: Richie receipts (69,963) (69,970) by RibbonB from USA Of course it was a joke, thus my reply to Licia who seemed to get it. But he is an easy google for people who seem to be unaware of his actual status. (Thursday 15 December 2016; 14:39)

Two Billboard editors discuss the holiday show (69,969) by B from USA I adore these two. I can't believe this article was published by Billboard. I love that they highlighted that even though her voice has lost some power it is still amazing. (Thursday 15 December 2016; 14:28)

AIWFC (69,967) by Seth M from South Africa AIWFC is # 17 on the Billboard Hot 100. (Thursday 15 December 2016; 13:54)

Shawn shade (69,966) by RibbonB from USA So I see on twitter, Shawn is throwing a little subtle shade at James for selling off his Crown stake in China, since the arrest of his employees there. It seems Mr. Rich will be focusing his business in Australia and the big Vegas casino seems to be on indefinite hold too. He posted the story with the see and hear no evil emojis. This is a true story. (Thursday 15 December 2016; 8:56)

Re: Richie receipts (69,957) (69,963) by Seth M from South Africa Just a point of correction here. Lionel Richie is not the highest paid singer this year. That article is from mediamass.net and they also say that Mariah is the highest paid singer of the year here. Obviously someone has alot of time on their hands to create fake stories. According to the official Forbes website, it is Taylor Swift who is the highest paid female, earning $170 million dollars for 2016. That is not far off from Mariah's entire net worth and Taylor is still young. What I like about Taylor is the fact that she portrays a humble image and does not flaunt her money or try too hard to look sexy. (Thursday 15 December 2016; 5:36)

Re: Beacon (69,956) (69,962) by Tevin from USA This is going to be my first Mariah concert I'm going to, she better be on time, because some of us have to get up early for work the next day. Lol. (Thursday 15 December 2016; 3:21)

Re: Richie receipts (69,960) (69,961) by RibbonB from USA Hey we are on the same page. I just saw that report out this week and thought it timely to share it with the board. I am seriously thinking of going when they are in California. I would never ordinarily go see Lionel, but this one two punch should be fun. But yes his receipts are only a google away. Lol. (Thursday 15 December 2016; 2:21)

Re: Richie receipts (69,957) (69,960) by Licia from USA Now Ribbon according to lamb logic you know Mr. Richie is beneath being on the same tour as Mariah because he hasn't had a hit in a while. His whole career full of receipts doesn't matter. Lol. Anyway I still think it's win for both artists. He'll gain some new fans and she'll regain some old ones. How is this situation not a good idea? (Thursday 15 December 2016; 1:38)

Re: Beacon (69,956) (69,959) by Licia from USA Lateness all the time is inexcusable no matter who does it, but enjoy your night anyway. (Thursday 15 December 2016; 1:25)

Article: Mariah Carey forgets to put her eyelashes on properly (69,958) by Xavier Peoples from United States For once someone got Mariah's age wrong in her favor. (Thursday 15 December 2016; 0:54)

Richie receipts (69,957) by RibbonB from USA This just in Lionel Richie the highest paid singer this year. He is rolling in the dough from his tour and Vegas residency, etc. I'd say Mariah is lucky indeed to be invited to tour with him. He has done his homework, I hope Mariah studies well too. His material can be somewhat corny, but Mariah's can be too. Both are likeable, with timeless material. (Thursday 15 December 2016; 0:52)

Re: Beacon (69,950) (69,956) by Mara from United States Well I am in here now and it is apparent that the lateness is well known this year at Beacon. Totally different than 14-15. Last night was 9:06 and one night was 9:50 according to the staff. Ugh Mariah. Well for her tour with Lionel she better be on time. We know his fans will not tolerate it like some lambs that cast it off as "eh she is a diva". (Thursday 15 December 2016; 0:48)

Re: Stellar (69,951) (69,955) by SM from Citizen of the World I agree. (Wednesday 14 December 2016; 22:44)
