Re: AIWFCIY Carpool Karaoke (69,984) (70,060) by B from USA It was bloody brilliant. She was playfully festive and she sang along. And those celebrity cameos were a stroke of genius. It's already went viral. AIWFCIY is going to hit the Top 5 on Billboard's Hot 100. I go see it becoming her 19th #1. AIWFCIY is Mariah's signature song. I bought another copy of Merry Christmas. Mariah was at her creative and commercial. Her voice sounds ethereal. MC might by Mariah's best album. I really hope she records a gospel album with Loris Holland and Gospel choir (and Trey and the Tatum sisters). She needs to clean her image up and appear more humble (dressing more conservatively especially hiring stylist like Rachel Zoe). (Monday 19 December 2016; 7:17)

Re: Nick opens up / CaseyShow podcast (70,053) (70,059) by Marissa from USA Thank you for posting the interview. It is a long interview (an hour and a half) so for those of you who don't feel like listening, I'll give you the run down. 1. Nick feels that their marriage lost a lot of spiritual power when Mariah's bishop died because he was someone who frequently prayed for their marriage. They never found another church home or spiritual center after his death. He believes that there was a lot of spiritual warfare in their marriage. 2. Nick believes that Mariah's team made him the enemy to protect their positions and started planting seeds into Mariah's head that he was just a boytoy, a gold-digger and he eventually started feeling like Mariah and her team didn't really respect him. He claims that he tried to play it off but the constant belittling of him from outside forces bruised his ego. (Maybe this is why Mariah cleaned house with her team after her separation from Nick? Maybe she blames them for causing discord in her marriage?) 3. Nick didn't believe that the Packeriah relationship was real. He thought that Mariah only wanted James for ego-stroking purposes and he says that James played himself trying so hard to chase her. 4. He believes that if they would have stayed together, they would have eventually been too resentful of each other for it not to affect their children. 5. Their different views on child-rearing really was an issue, way beyond the Barbara Walters interview where we first started suspecting it. 6. Mariah's desire to wait until she was married for sex made Nick want to get married much faster. (Big surprise lol.) Mind you, I'm wording these points in the most blunt way possible just to get straight to the point, but Nick did express these issues in a much more sugarcoated, politically correct way than I am right now. Anyone else who listened, please fill in any noteworthy gaps that I might have missed from the interview. (Monday 19 December 2016; 6:33)

Trey Lorenz? Blurred face (70,058) by Matty from Vancouver Canada I'm really curious why Trey is not in Mariah's World. And further, why the f*** is his face blurred? Anyone have insight? (Monday 19 December 2016; 6:04)

Re: Amazing (70,054) (70,057) by G.G. from USA I love that song. I think it's underrated. (Monday 19 December 2016; 2:20)

Re: Nick opens up / CaseyShow podcast (70,053) (70,056) by Lila from United States Nick didn't elaborate greatly but what he did say was saddening to me. At the same time, it wasn't surprising but basically what a few of us have already noticed and elaborated on, in one way or another, and that's Mariah's overall inability to form boundaries between herself and her staff. The old crew was around too much, the new crew is even worse, Stella's constant presence, MW showing just how much she depends on Stella's opinion although it's crystal clear that this woman has not one iota of life figured out her own self, her recent admission of belief that her lawyers only wanted her to do AI for their own commission, etc. Then it seems like she picks the wrong time and, even more, the wrong people to go against the grain with. I truly hope that one day soon Mariah learns how to be happy by herself, truly strong and confident, and that she doesn't owe any of these staff anything. (Monday 19 December 2016; 1:41)

Article: Two Billboard editors discuss the holiday show (70,055) by JT from USA M from Asia, were you there? Because I was, and there was no lip-synching. (Monday 19 December 2016; 1:08)

Amazing (70,054) by Billy from England, UK Just listening to this song again after a while, and wow I love it. She should perform this live sometime, it's amazing. (Monday 19 December 2016; 0:38)

Nick opens up / CaseyShow podcast (70,053) by RibbonB from USA Here is an interesting interview some might find enlightening or enraging depending on who you are. Lol. This came out a week or so ago and Nick opens up about what happened to break up his marriage. I thought I would post for the many who may not have heard it. For some reason, I think a lot will come out tonight either on WWHL or the third episode of MW. Nick certainly defends and speaks well of Mariah, but he does talk about "dark forces" which may have influenced Mariah. Whatever happens in Mariah's life, I wonder will she ever be allowed or allow herself to live alone with herself, her children and whomever she ends up with? It is all so odd.

Mariah's special on YouTube Red original (70,052) by Liz Archer from Sweden At first I was super excited by this news but then I realised I can't see this because 1. It's subscription YouTube and 2. It's not available in my country. Why couldn't she have done this on Netflix? (Sunday 18 December 2016; 21:50)

Re: J.Lo was edited out of AIWFCIY Carpool (70,039) (70,051) by Sarah from Netherlands It's fake. The audio was ripped from an older leaked audio thing that featured her trying to sing a line and going horribly off-key. (Sunday 18 December 2016; 20:50)

Re: Grandma Carey (70,048) (70,050) by Lannister from USA Or she learned it from Patricia. (Sunday 18 December 2016; 20:23)

Re: Grandma Carey (70,048) (70,049) by Licia from USA I'm so glad Patricia was there. I was so worried that they were not on speaking terms. This makes my heart happy. (Sunday 18 December 2016; 16:00)

Grandma Carey (70,048) by Lara from Middle East FInally we get to see Patricia Carey in a picture Shawn shared on instagram. I can't help but laughing seeing her with the sunglasses on, I guess she learned it from her daughter. . (Sunday 18 December 2016; 15:37)

Re: Carpool Karaoke (70,018) (70,047) by MusicfanJ from Germany All my friends are sharing it on Facebook. Mariah deserves a number one with that song, no matter how "bleak" her team is. I agree she could have been a bit more enthusiastic on her own festive song. Anyway I wish her the best for Christmas and that she remembers what we love about her. (Sunday 18 December 2016; 15:18)

Nice to see (70,046) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) It was nice to see Mariah's family come out and show her support for her last show at The Beacon Theater for 2016. The look on Mama Carey's face was everything, and she looked very much proud of daughter. Despite all twists and turns that has happened with MC this year I am happy that she is still able share her gift with us, hopefully in the new year she decides to focus on putting together a project of quality and substance that is of her standards and worth and less focus on the image and publicity stunts. With that said happy holidays and blessings to entire Archives family. (Sunday 18 December 2016; 15:15)

Re: MAC collab (70,044) (70,045) by Licia from USA I totally get what you're saying. It seemed like it was more important to have the focus on the drama for the show rather than the MAC line. It's still kind of cool that it sold out despite the lackluster promotion. (Sunday 18 December 2016; 13:38)

Re: MAC collab (70,040) (70,044) by Gigi from USA I knew about the MAC launch with the YouTubers, but I was wondering if Mariah ever spoke in depth about her MAC collaboration during one of her TV interviews? I try to catch all of her TV appearances, but I don't recall her ever having it in hand and talking about it like she has in the past with her other collections. I know it doesn't matter now, as the collection has pretty much sold out. It just would've been nice to hear her talk about the process from start to finish. The only thing I've read is Stella bragging on Instagram about how she made "the call" to make it happen (as if MAC would've never approached MC otherwise... ). It's such a great collection that I think (at the time) her promoting it would've been a nice distraction from all the James Packer drama vs. going the Tanaka route. (Sunday 18 December 2016; 11:35)

Re: Lionel Richie - joint tour (70,042) (70,043) by darrian liu from taiwan I do agree, if MIAM was released in 2013 after the success of #Beautiful, it would've sold a respectable number in its debut week, and could possibly be her 7th no. 1 album. (Sunday 18 December 2016; 11:14)

Re: Lionel Richie - joint tour (70,038) (70,042) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines MIAMTEC would've sold possibly double its first week sales if it were released around June-July 2013, which we all know was around the time the accident happened. If it were, it would have been a slightly different album, a few tracks shorter perhaps (I would like to know the ones that still weren't done by that time), but at least she would have charted higher and the follow-up singles would have had a better shot at success. (Sunday 18 December 2016; 10:27)

#5 in Canada (70,041) by Matty from Vancouver Canada AIWFC is #5 on Canadian iTunes. (Christmas Baby Please come Home is at #185.) (Sunday 18 December 2016; 7:06)

Re: MAC collab (70,040) by Nikki from usa Yes, you missed quite a few things. Mariah had a major MAC coming out party and she invited a load of YouTubers with makeup tutorial channels. None of them are huge, but they all have a few thousand subscribers. Most of the collection has already sold out and apparently this is a limited edition. MAC had to do a whole restocking of items on the 15th for online and most stores, but again most items are going fast. The same thing happened for her HSN line. I actually emailed them a few years ago. Mariah's line sold out so fast I was waiting for news of a restock. I was hoping to get a pair of one of her boots the following year. They told me it wasn't restocked after the first year and aren't sure what happened. The demand was still there for more, but they stopped making it. Mariah seems to get engrossed in a project, go all gong ho on it, but then gets bored and moves onto a new project. That's when it pays to have a team in place to carry on what was already started. (Sunday 18 December 2016; 6:57)

Re: J.Lo was edited out of AIWFCIY Carpool (70,037) (70,039) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines I like how "yass-girled" is apparently a verb now. I may steal that J.Lo style sometime. Haha. (Sunday 18 December 2016; 3:25)

Re: Lionel Richie - joint tour (70,036) (70,038) by darrian liu from taiwan MIAM also suffered a 73% drop in the second week of sales - it sold 16,090 copies in the next week, falling right out from the top 10 into #18. Janet has also consistently place her studio albums in the top 5 - top 3 even, excluding her first two albums. It was her third album, Control where she really became big. Mariah also had much anticipation for MIAM since it had been 5 years after the release of MOAIA, so we can say that MIAM is a quite highly anticipated project. (Sunday 18 December 2016; 1:47)

Re: J.Lo was edited out of AIWFCIY Carpool (70,033) (70,037) by Edward from USA Andrew, yes, Mariah looked stiff and stoned on the Carpool Karaoke, but come on. I definitely wish she would loosen up a little bit and just have fun, carefree fun just like the rest, but at the end of the day, that's the Mariah we have today, either we take her or leave her, that's about it. I'm mostly happy fort the success of the song, these welcomed views are definitely going to factor into its next chart position on Billboard. Making excuses as to why she probably acted the way she did, it's ridiculous and deluded. It's not like this is the first time she's been this way. Whatever she's done to her face, maybe encouraged and yass-girled by Crustella, doesn't look good on her at all. She was fine the way she was. These chick implants and stuff make people loose their natural look rendering them looking like bloated stiff dolls. (Sunday 18 December 2016; 1:14)

Re: Lionel Richie - joint tour (70,027) (70,036) by steven from usa If we use Janet Jackson as an example. Her album sales dropped 74% the next week with sales of just 30,000. Her first week sales I believe were not a testament to her popularity but rather anticipation of her new album since she rarely releases new material. Mariah consistently debuts in the top 5 every album. (Sunday 18 December 2016; 0:29)
