Gucci Christmas ad (114,894)
by Edward from USA

|
|
She's used a body doubles before. I was there when they were filming the video for "Obsessed", and I saw a body double there outside of the Plaza Hotel.

Especially Gucci's style is always like the Christmas one Mariah just did. It's not that those actors and models are weird looking or what, people in the fashion industry literally just look and act like that. Maybe it's because Mariah didn't have any high fashion and luxury endorsements when she was young and at her peak popularity that we are not used to seeing her in ads like this. If you wanna see "normal" people around Mariah, don't look to the Gucci ads or any high fashion ads, go get Mariah a Walmart line, just like D suggested.

Walmart Christmas line, please? (114,892)
by D from United States
| |
|
|
I know it seems like everyone hates Mariah, but a lot of people actually really do love her, too. Plus, she's a Christmas icon now, just like Santa or a Christmas tree. The stuff on her website is a little pricey, but Walmart prices are affordable for everyone. The key is that the items have to be cute. And it could be a collection of around 15 items.
01) Pajamas
02) Wrapping paper - With Mariah on it, not just her initials. It should be thick wrapping paper with a lot of paper on each roll.
03) Mariah Elf on the Shelf
04) Extra clothes for the Mariah Elf on the Shelf
05) A box of Christmas ornaments - Similar to the ones she sold on QVC.
06) A framed art print - Mariah from the original Christmas album.
07) An advent calendar - With a little Mariah doll behind each door, wearing a different outfit. This would probably be the most expensive item in the collection, but it should still be affordable.
08) Individual acrylic butterfly ornaments - In pink, purple, gold, and silver.
09) A soft throw blanket
10) A sweatshirt - With the Christmas cartoon version of Mariah on it.
11) A puzzle
12) A Mariah Christmas blow mold
13) Christmas decorations for a little tree - For example, a tree topper star with a picture of her face on it. Lol. The little dolls from the advent calendar could go on this tree, too.
14) A metal ornament tree - Specifically for displaying the Mariah doll ornaments.
15) A Christmas village house - A Mariah-themed house to add to a Christmas village collection.

Walmart Christmas line, please? (114,885)
by nancy from Switzerland

This would be a great idea. But I don't know if Walmart [wants to] invest a large amount of money in Mariah. I honestly would take a star that is still successful and closer to the people. I guess they are more interested in Miley Cyrus, Sabrina Carpenter etc. Most people don't buy Gucci stuff. If I were Mariah, I would have chosen a company which sells scented candles, or body lotions and shower gels, soaps with Christmassy vibes like cinnamon, vanilla etc. I remember when she made the advert for [Claire's] with rings and necklaces. I still have the jewelry case. I guess that was the Charmbracelet era.

Punk song lyrics (114,891)
by Xavier mariohmix from Spain
| |
|

Can anybody understand what she's saying in this new punk song on the It's Time video? Something like "Schwarzenegger with no muscles"? In fact, I've just found out that it's "Hermit". Here are the lyrics. They are so clever and bitter at the same time.

She can't lip sync because she's on lip rest for when she has to lip sync to the pre-recorded vocals that she recorded for when she is on vocal rest to prepare for an entire minute of live vocals and "Hey"'s shouted during her upcoming Christmas shows.

Gucci Christmas ad (114,883)
by Edward from USA
| |
|
|
I think they were going for The Devil Wears Prada vibes, with Miranda on her way to the office. To be honest, I was feeling it until the elevator doors opened and those Twilight Zone looking people showed up. It's nothing to start cooking up conspiracy theories over, but that whole bit was awkward as hell.
At this point, Mariah moves like a robot. She can't even stand or walk naturally anymore. Everything revolves around the caked up makeup, the weaves, and endless beauty shots. If you can't rock those high heels with grace, you might as well wear flats. At this point, the whole thing is getting ridiculously awkward.

Walmart Christmas line, please? (114,877)
by D from United States

I wish Mariah had a Christmas line of decorations at Walmart so regular people could afford it. I save money all year to deck my house out for Halloween and Christmas, and I buy most of my decorations at Walmart and HomeGoods. I add a few new things to my collection every year, so I appreciate when something is a little bit better quality. You can find some really good-quality pieces for $20-$100 at those stores.
Dolly Parton has a holiday line at Walmart, and all the items are super cute.
I don't hate Mariah for wanting to partner with brands she actually uses. I would do the same thing. But could we also get something affordable for the working folks? Ha ha.
(Not that super wealthy people don't work, but I would argue that someone who can afford $7K dresses wouldn't technically need to work if they budgeted their money differently.  )

Gucci Christmas ad (114,884)
by D from United States
| |
|

I thought the same thing - they should have used it for Halloween instead. The first thing that came to mind was that Hunger Games scene where they're at the fancy party and the Capitol people throw up their food so they can continue eating. Both the men and the women look kind of scary. We definitely aren't the target audience. I think that unnatural "Mar-a-Lago" look is attractive to the people who can afford those clothes from Bergdorf's. I mean, they could have hired anyone, and they chose those people to have fake-laughing and talking. No shade to the clothes, though - the clothes from Bergdorf's are stunning.
At least Mariah looked prettier and more human in comparison. The room they were in was really pretty, too. Some of the people looked normal, but I was so focused on the ones who didn't that I missed them on the first watch. I liked how regal Mariah looked as she walked in like a queen. I mean, I'm glad someone gets to be fabulous. She must have accumulated a lot of good karma to have all those talents, beauty, and luck, including being discovered at such a young age, and maintaining success for almost 40 years.

I absolutely can't relate to this ad. The people look really strange. I had to think about the movie (the women from Stepford) lol. I always find artificial looking people a bit scary indeed. Mariah should have used this for Halloween.  But seriously, this kind of ad is one reason why the image is like it is. The "It's time" video is way better, even with the perfume ad.

Gucci Christmas ad (114,873)
by D from United States
| |
|
|
It does feel strange. It was weird how the bellboy was shown at the end. Why? To show us that regular working people aren't welcome in the club? Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but the whole thing felt strange.
I appreciate pretty clothes, pretty rooms, and pretty people. Not necessarily cookie-cutter pretty. I like interesting faces, too, like you see in older movies. But a lot of the people in this ad don't look human. Who are these people?
I think they were trying to portray her as a queen, and I absolutely consider Mariah Carey American royalty. But something about it just felt off. It didn't feel like a "good" kind of royalty. I hate to say anything negative about Mariah. She looked really pretty.
But is this who she is? It can't be. I don't think people automatically lose their humanity just because they become wealthy. There are plenty of rich people who have managed to hold on to their humanity.
Don't hate on me for this, but I have a conspiracy theory. What if someone drugs wealthy and influential people to make them easier to control? I was watching a documentary about "passport bros" who travel to other countries looking for women. Apparently, scopolamine (Devil's Breath) is sometimes used to drug and rob men.
It made me wonder whether darker people behind the scenes could get wealthy and influential people addicted to drugs as a way of controlling them. It wouldn't be the first time we've heard allegations of something like that. For example, Diddy's former security reportedly talked about a plan to get the girls in Danity Kane hooked on drugs so they could be exploited.
I've been a Mariah Carey fan since I was a little kid, when she first came out. I feel like I know her through her music. I've always felt that she's a light soul. She's human, and I'm sure she sometimes makes the wrong choices or aligns herself with the wrong people. But for the most part, I've always believed she's a good soul.
I don't know. Something about this just feels so off.

After seeing the campaign, my first thought was, "The lambs will gonna be critical (as always) about this." And reading the entries here... well, I guess... you tell me. I got used to her luxuriance and inability to be what lambs expect her to be, so I simply chose to enjoy the ad because I still adore her no matter what.

Gucci ad (114,876)

I just watched it again and thought about how I had said in another post that I wanted to see what a Mariah Carey party is like. Is this what it's like? Lol. I mean, I guess it is pretty fabulous. It's just not what I imagined.
And isn't this the brand that features "scary" ads and models? That brand is out of my budget, but if it were in my budget, I would buy the purple butterfly tank. Maybe I just don't understand high fashion well enough to appreciate the ad. Ha ha.
At least Mariah still looks beautiful, and they didn't shave off her eyebrows.
I just looked up the line, and it's all so beautiful. If I could afford it, I would buy the entire line. It's all so pretty. If she gets these clothes for free plus gets paid, good for her. Get your bag girl.

Article: Mariah Carey drops "Glitter" 25th Anniversary Edition (114,875)
by D from United States

I love the extra tracks and am glad she released them. I don't usually buy vinyl, but I caved and bought the purple one, mostly for decoration. I wanted the pink one, but I thought about it for too long, and it sold out. I also bought the purple Loverboy t-shirt she wore on TRL. I've always wanted that shirt. I'll probably get one of those vinyl display frames that show both the album cover and the actual record, too. Christmas is coming early for me this year.  I used to avoid buying albums because I thought I'd have to buy them all, but I think having one special one for decoration will suffice.
