About T from USA :

Re: Mariah separates with manager Melissa (97,245) (97,250) by T from USA Usually you stay with your manager no matter where they go. That is if you're happy with their work. (Saturday 30 January 2021; 01:11)

Narada Michael Walden (97,247) by T from USA In a world where record labels invest only as much funds to your next project as based on your last one (“what have you done for me lately”) it doesn’t look good that Mariah will get the budget or the keys to work with the top producers in the industry. We know JD will always be by her side but with her influence and connections I’m sure she could still gather a good group for her next album. Narada Michael Walden just commented on her Shawn Mendez post saying that they should create a new by together and to reach out. So even if Sony doesn’t set up those expensive producer/writer camps or shells out for Cardi B and Drake, she can still create a mega hit album if she chooses to. PS. Walter would also be game.

Re: I don't care if Mariah gets another #1 record (97,236) (97,239) by T from USA Not only Mariah. Corporate America cares too. It's a business. (Friday 29 January 2021; 00:30)

Mariah separates with manager Melissa (97,233) by T from USA I hope she doesn't try to manager herself again. It takes an army to create success. Keep her way from JD too. (Thursday 28 January 2021; 18:55)

Re: I don't care if Mariah gets another #1 record (97,221) (97,223) by T from USA This was the best breakdown I've read here in a long while. Everything is business and nobody knows this better than Mariah. It's why she returned to Sony, because LA Reid was in charge (a known spender). Look into Kenn and Nancy Berry. They ran EMI Virgin records when Mariah was signed. They signed her to that mega contract. They were also known to spend huge on marketing their acts (see Rolling Stones, Janet and Spice Girls who they signed). Mariah knew this that's why she went with them over other suitors. They both lost there big time jobs a month after Glitter was released. Mariah's whole career she needed two things. The right guidance and the right promotional budget. With those two things she is unstoppable and quite supernatural in her accomplishments. I don't know much about Epics head Sylvia Rhone but if Caution was any indication, Mariah is in big trouble.

Re: Drake and Ariana (97,202) (97,210) by T from USA I don't agree that Mariah wouldn't jump in with a huge artist to have a big hit. Mariah is a hitmaker and she loves being on top of the charts. This is the same woman who teamed up with Boyz II Men and 98 Degrees. For two of her #1's. And also Bieber and Ari on Christmas songs. I'm not sure if it's her or Drake not wanting to take the plunge. In 2015 TLC were performing at some big profile event and Drake was supposed to join them then at the last minute dropped out because he didn't think it would be a good look to associate with a legacy act.

Re: Drake and Ariana (97,198) (97,199) by T from USA It's never going to happen. She almost had Notorious BIG on Honey Remix too. Sometimes these things just slip through cracks and we are left with what if. If he collaborated with Ariana then Mariah will want to find a fresh new rapper to hit up as she will try and avoid comparisons at all costs. Her Drake collaboration came and went with GTFO. That was the one. (Tuesday 26 January 2021; 17:49)

Re: AIWFCIY is #1 on Billboard Hot 100, Oh Santa! #76 (96,943) (96,945) by T from USA Very low streaming and no airplay. Unfortunately sales used to be king but these days they don't account for much. In Mariah's case they help her a bit because her audience tends to be older so streaming is harder for her. (Monday 14 December 2020; 22:44)

Re: Do you think Mariah has another #1 in her? (96,928) (96,937) by T from USA Yes. In twenty five years Oh Santa! will hit #1 and give Mariah her 20th. She will be seventy five years old at that time. (Monday 14 December 2020; 02:58)

Re: AIWFCIY #2 this week on the Hot 100 (96,880) (96,885) by T from USA Still won't be enough. AIWFCIY needs 20 weeks at #1 to reclaim the record. (Tuesday 8 December 2020; 14:21)

Oh Santa 2010 girl group (96,854) by T from USA Everyone always wanted the vocal trinity, what if Oh Santa was originally released with Mariah, Celine and Whitney? (Sunday 6 December 2020; 17:10)

Re: Signal to MC (96,842) (96,846) by T from USA She's being managed by Roc Nation, why can't Jay get a good Beyonce duet happening? There are ways around the ageism and label constraints. Mariah is so much more than just Christmas music but I'm afraid that is all she will become. (Sunday 6 December 2020; 01:45)

Rumour has it (96,837) by T from USA Has anyone else read the rumours that the girls didn't film Oh Santa together and that's why there are no pics of the tree [sic] of them together (like Snoop and JD) and no official single cover photo. Rumour is that Mariah only agreed to do it if it was shot separately from Ari and JHud. (Saturday 5 December 2020; 19:23)

Vote for new Oh Santa at this radio station (96,824) by T from USA It's currently loosing to a song I've never heard of. (Friday 4 December 2020; 22:18)

Oh Santa on iTunes (96,811) by T from USA Song quality sounds great on the iTunes version also. Way better. (Friday 4 December 2020; 16:11)

Re: Kelly? (96,780) (96,783) by T from USA It's just so not MC's style. Usually she works with those she knows and likes first. But here we are now and it should be great. (Thursday 3 December 2020; 21:16)

Kelly Clarkson (96,774) by T from USA Watching the 88th annual Christmas in Rockefeller Center and seeing Kelly Clarkson perform her new Christmas song has me wondering if it was supposed to be Oh Santa (ft. Kelly Clarkson & J-Hud)? I mean these things were planned last year shortly after appearing on the Voice with both girls. I wonder if Kelly doing her own Christmas projects meant she couldn't do it? I know it's a long shot and we'll never actually know the inner workings but Ariana seems so random and if the song was arranged with a powerful voice like Kelly's then it would make sense that she would have to fill in the spot with someone equally as good. (Thursday 3 December 2020; 02:16)

JD produced the new Oh Santa (96,769) by T from USA He just tweeted about the song on December 4. I guess that takes away any chance it will have more of a pop leaning sound. It will be totally urban, maybe even more so than the 2010 version. Especially where Mariah's head is at in proving how black she is and if [Save the day] is any indication, all hope is lost. (Wednesday 2 December 2020; 16:10)

Marc Shaiman Oh Santa (96,757) by T from USA Wouldn’t it be great if Marc Shaiman co-produced Oh Santa and gave it that timeless girl group pop sound ala AIWFCIY and Christmas Time Is in The Air Again. The original could be seen as the JD urban mix. (Tuesday 1 December 2020; 18:48)

MCIIY duets album, hypothetical tracklist (96,672) by T from USA If she wants to really put MCIIY into the spotlight she should re-release it this year on its 10th anniversary as a duets album. Here's how it could be done: 1. Santa Clause Is Coming To Town (intro) 2. Oh Santa (ft. Ari & JHudd) 3. Little Town Of Bethlehem (ft. K Clarkson) 4. Christmas Time Is... (ft. Micheal Buble) 5. The First Noel (ft. Toni Braxton) 6. When Christmas Comes (ft. John Legend) 7. Here Comes Santa Clause (ft. JD) 8. Charlie Brown Christmas (ft. Snoop) 9. O Come All Ye Faithful (ft. Pat) 10. O Holy Night (ft. Celine Dion) 11. One Child (ft. Beyoncé) 12. Where Are You Christmas (ft. Faith Hill) 13. AIWFCIY (ft. JB) It would fulfill so many of our duet dreams and at the same time catapult MCIIY into the stratosphere. (Thursday 19 November 2020; 02:13)

Re: If there is a "Rairities 2", my wishlist tracklist (96,660) (96,666) by T from USA Should've been the second disc. (Wednesday 18 November 2020; 20:42)

Caution 90 million streams on Spotify (96,581) by T from USA Caution the album has reached the 90 million mark. Now every song has just needs to gain 1 million streams each and the album will hit the 100 million mark. (Tuesday 10 November 2020; 15:34)

When will memoirs be certified platinum? (96,541) by T from USA Last check the album has sold 605,000 on pure sales alone. Once you factor in streaming it must be very close now? (Thursday 5 November 2020; 17:17)

Re: Through The Christmas Rain (96,509) (96,534) by T from USA Is it the same little jingle at the beginning? As if she uses Christmas music to help her get through the rain? (Wednesday 4 November 2020; 18:35)

Re: Walter Afansieff (96,525) (96,529) by T from USA I can only imagine what Caution would've been (Butterfly part 2) if Walter produced "Portrait" plus two more songs to make it a twelve track album. For example (just for the imagination): 1. GTFO 2. With You 3. My All (soundalike) 4. Caution 5. A No No 6. The Distance 7. Giving Me Life 8. 8th Grade 9. One Mo' Gen 10. Stay Long Love You 11. Underneath The Stars (soundalike) 12. Portrait (Tuesday 3 November 2020; 23:04)
