Rockerfeller Plaza Performance (40,059) by Licia from USA Mariah looked absolutely gorgeous. From the two little videos I saw, she sounded great. I can't wait to watch the full performances. (Wednesday 4 December 2013; 7:26)

My rusty 2¢ for this month (40,058) by Tony from US My logic tells me that MC is gonna enjoy her annual Christmas reign, and build on her holiday media presence (3 performances this week, AIWFCIY in every store and radio station, etc.) with new single/album details while she's still on people's minds and playlists. MC and JD are both veterans in the music game with legacies securely intact. I highly doubt JD would do anything to hurt her career, or that MC would sabotage herself, much less let someone else do it. Let's relax folks, and have a Merry Christmas.

The new song (40,057) by Jeanette from USA It sad how an artist like Katy Perry could release an song and it get played, but then again the music industry has an thing against women over 40 and I fear Mariah's time has come and went. (Tuesday 3 December 2013; 23:12)

Response (40,056) by B from USA Here's the thing, if there was no debate there's a problem. Debates or discussions are proof that MC's fans are passionate about her music which is her profession. Mariah has written some of the best songs of all time and she has nothing left to proof. I still believe in her talent and talent always rises to the top. (Tuesday 3 December 2013; 20:39)

Will (40,055) by Stacey from USA I love One Child! Probably my favorite song off MCIIY. Such a great song with wonderful lyrics, arrangement, etc. As a Christian, I love how MC has fun songs on her albums like Oh Santa or AIWFCIY, but then she'll include religious songs like One Child or JTTW to remind us why we celebrate Christmas. (Tuesday 3 December 2013; 20:02)

TAOLG (40,053) by Manny from U.S. As much as we want TAOLG and all her singles to become hits, there are things that out of Mariah's control. The music business is sadly primarily about the cash, not the music. Record companies are looking to be lucrative. They do what is convenient for them. I feel IDJ is not supporting Mariah as before. That means no promotion. This is reminiscent of what she went through with Sony and Virgin. I'm pretty sure Mariah will speak of this when she has no ties with IDJ. (Tuesday 3 December 2013; 19:11)

TAOLG (40,052) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter We should all just leave it now. It's obvious that nothing more will come out of it, so enjoy the song, and wait for next year. It's already December, so it's not to far away. I think they may have something planned for February, single or album, can't be sure. So yes let's just wait for it, and in the mean time enjoy watching Mariah perform this season. Arguing whether the single would have been a hit or not is fruitless, it's too late for that. And I am sure Mariah, JD and her team know better than us because they are the ones who are actually in the music business, not us. (Tuesday 3 December 2013; 17:58)

Zendi from Indonesia (40,051) by Lamb_O_Chop from Australia See, now I can respect what you're saying: that it could've possible been a big hit with video, and radio promotion. This is a more logical discussion in reference to the song. My gripe was people not realizing that it would've taken those two things for this song to make a huge impact, so it can't really be considered a flop when it wasn't promoted to be a hit. (Tuesday 3 December 2013; 17:05)

TAOLG (40,050) by Anonymous from But the song have big potential to be a hit, if promotion is good. I know, it's only for the fans, bla bla bla. But nothing's wrong if they try to put this song on the radio and have some promotion. (Tuesday 3 December 2013; 16:24)

Oh no not again (40,049) by Lamb_O_Chop from Australia To the right is my face when people keep asking the same questions about TAOLG. Why must we keep having the same discussion over and over in reference to why it's not a hit. People. I ask you to just simply read the message board and you will have a good answer and if its not too much I also ask you to just make peace with it. (Tuesday 3 December 2013; 15:47)

I can't understand the lambily (40,048) by Carol from Spain Why do people keep attacking JD? Why do people (not to say fans) keep attacking TAOLG? This was never meant to be a radio song. This was supposed to be a release for the fans only. You expect too much when Mariah never promissed anything. She promissed a song close to her heart, that should be enough for the fans at least. Be grateful she's releasing good quality music, neverminding the trends out there. (Tuesday 3 December 2013; 12:46)

TAOLG / JD (40,047) by B from USA There will be an exclusive lambs-only moment on 7/23. I think MC's original plan was to release TAOLG on 7/23 and then postponed the release until she felt better. This "single" hasn't been serviced to radio, there is no video, and there has been nothing else said. Nothing! I think JD has her working on material. He after all helped MC bring her A game for TEOM. He's going to steer her in the right direction. She'll have a single with a big, sing a long chorus, a video directed by a big name, and a slimmed down figure. (Tuesday 3 December 2013; 3:41)

Rocking around the Christmas III (40,046) by Bill from the UK Lol, great album title! The Perfect Year was by Dina Carroll, not Diana. I am a huge fan of hers, even though she only made two albums. Mariah fans should check her out as I'm sure you'll like Perfect Year and Don't Be A Stranger. She was a wonderful singer, I hope the rumours of her putting out a new album are true. I've always wished Mariah would sing Cold Cold Christmas by Dana, and Tennessee Christmas by Amy Grant. Even though she isn't from the deep south, it's still a lovely song. (Monday 2 December 2013; 22:25)

Where's Jermaine? (40,045) by Anonymous from After the big flop of "The art of letting go" and still not a release date for the album, I wonder what is Jermaine Dupri doing as a manager. I hope that MC could understand that she needs a real manager, because after being in the business over 23 years and with all the new idols of this generation, it is not easy to impact the radios. (Monday 2 December 2013; 15:51)

Sales? (40,044) by Orkun from The Netherlands Does anyone know how many copies TAOLG has sold in the US? (Monday 2 December 2013; 10:49)

Rocking Around The Christmas III (40,043) by Will from Australia I really hope MC records another Christmas album in a few years. It got me thinking about what I'd like to hear aside from a few originals, anyone else have some songs they'd want? 1. Rockin Around The Christmas III 2. Pipes of Peace (amazing Paul McCartney song) 3. Where Are You Christmas (love to hear her version) 4. I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everday (Wizzard cover that I can imagine an awesome AIWFCIY arrangement) 5. I'll Be Home For Christmas 6. Jingle Bell Rock 7. Away In A Manger 8. It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas 9. It's Christmas All Over The World Tonight (little known Sheena Easton song from the 80s, YouTube it) 11. Carol Of The Bells (I get goosebumps thinking of Mariah doing this with multi layered vocals) 12. The Perfect Year (Diana Carroll did a lovely version a year before AIWFCIY was released) (Monday 2 December 2013; 8:04)

My mistake and Bublé (40,042) by Lee from UK I've only just read back my post and realised I'd typed 2003 instead of 1993. Sorry about that folks. I don't know if I am going to enjoy the Mariah and Bublé duet as I assume they will sing AIWFC. Michael's version is much slower and I don't know how Mariah will fit into it. Maybe they will surprise us and sing a completely different song. (Sunday 1 December 2013; 17:57)

One Child (40,041) by Will from England Since we are officially in the Christmas season, can we take a moment to appreciate the masterpiece from MCIIY that was "One Child"? As far as I'm concerned, it's the best Christmas carol-esque/Christmas themed song she has ever written. The composition, the lyrics, the vocal display she put on that record, the child choir. It's such a simple song yet packed with a power only Mariah could bring to a song like that. It's a divine song to just sit back and marvel at. I was so pleased when she performed that song at the White House, and secretly hoping/wishing that she performs it this year at Rockefeller Centre. (Sunday 1 December 2013; 17:01)

Hark (40,040) by Bill from the UK That performance was from December 1991, not 1994. I have the video of it. I'm excited for the Buble duet, I hope she doesn't mess it up. I think she needs to stop focus on new material in December as AIWFCIY is in heavy rotation and will distract people from her new stuff. (Sunday 1 December 2013; 15:39)

Christmas (40,039) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I'm excited that Mariah will be finally performing after so long! I'm especially excited about the Buble duet. I hope some album news follows soon. Christmas time usually always puts MC back in the news, I hope she takes this opportunity to start promoting her album. I need me some MC music dahlin'. (Sunday 1 December 2013; 9:34)

Mariah superstitious? (40,038) by Tory from Australia I mentioned in a post a couple weeks ago about her heart necklace she used to wear during the first three years of her career, that I assumed she wore for good luck. I've also noticed in a couple of award shows from 1992 to 1996 she also wore a red ribbon/broche. I assume it was either for good luck or in support of Alison (red ribbon for world AIDS day). Watching a lot of performances, you tend to notice these little details lol. (Sunday 1 December 2013; 4:19)

Hark (40,037) by Stephen from London, United Kingdom If you look at Mariah's hair, make up, style etc, it's very similar to Can't Let Go and that era. Also, take note of the backing singers. They're are all from the early part of Mariah's career. I can't see it being any later than 1992 tbh. (Saturday 30 November 2013; 14:42)

Random (40,036) by B from USA Glitter: If We (Gotti / Lopez / Mottola, I'm Real), Lead The Way, Never Too Far. Charmbracelet: Clown, I Only Wanted, Subtle Invatation, Lullaby, BOTHB, and Sunflowers. Memoirs: Candy Bling. Before Glitter anything she sang/wrote went platinum. She'll get it together. Never count her out or question her talent. TEOM, anyone? The Art oOLetting Go is stuck in my head. She sounds great. She has that fire, that determination again. Excited. (Saturday 30 November 2013; 1:49)

Hark (40,035) by B from USA 1994. The look is the same as others from that promotional era. (Saturday 30 November 2013; 1:04)

Merry Christmas II You (40,034) by Licia from USA I love Merry Christmas II You. Her first Christmas CD is a classic no doubt, but I enjoy the second one more. (Friday 29 November 2013; 12:45)
