Macy's performance (101,672)
by Anonymous from United States
| |
|
|
Randy, I have no idea what you're talking about. Mariah lip syncs? That absolutely never happens. She's just performing the "album version" like she did with "We Belong Together" on NYE 2016. I thought everyone loved the album version? Why would you ever expect Mariah to sing live any way? The cold outdoor air hurts her vocal cords and she can't hear herself with the crowds. As a medical expert in the field of vocal chord trauma, I recommend that Mariah complete all performances from home via Zoom call in a room full of humidifiers with a full team of sound engineers. We must also allow for 30 minute breaks every two songs for tea, makeup and wardrobe changes.

Can I just say this. Janet Jackson, Britney Spears, Ciara, JLo, Paula Abdul can lip sync without criticism. Mariah Carey who is considered one of the best vocalist of all time cannot. Patti Labelle is 99 years old. She woulda sang. I know. I know. It was outdoors, her ear monitors weren't working, it was air conditioning outside, she has nodules, her humidifiers weren't working in her sleep chamber, her background singers were too loud. The funny thing is... her lip syncing wasn't a surprise to me. The mic is a prop at this point. But y'all really excited about her Christmas concerts? It will be the best cut and paste lip sync performance in history. Kinda like the 1996 Grammys.

1. Nobody sang live on the parade.
2. Patti is 78 years old, why should we care for the other written lies.
3. Yes, many of us will attend the Christmas "outsold" shows and per usual you can hate from outside the club.

I thought it was a great performance. MC looked glamorous. Kristofer did her make-up so beautifully. She doesn't always need to sing live during an outside performance. My sister said the ending note was live though. Roc and Roe have really grown up. Happy Thanksgiving MCA family.

Thank you so much for that beautifully written post Nikki, it was due to Lotion LLC's failure to respond to the objection in time, she is still undeniably The Queen of Christmas. Source.

It would be nice if people who talked actually had a clue what they were talking about. Trademarks are for products and goods, not censorship. Literally, nothing would change on how anyone used the phrase. None of these women's lives would've changed. Everything would continue as it always has. Mariah didn't "lose" anything, in fact, she generously stepped aside. The objection wasn't qualifying. All Mariah had to do was respond and the trademark was hers. She chose to remain quiet. After the 3 month period lapsed the case is closed. Mariah literally gave up a name for a merch line for no other reason than someone had a problem with it and she's painted as a villain while her quote unquote fans talk about checking her morals. 
A trademark isn't a copyright. Some folks deserve some humble pie themselves. I find it interesting how many hear MC get dissed by ignorant haters and immediately take their side without question. Trademarks are for products only. It doesn't give her a "monopoly" on the holiday season. It's a product line. It doesn't change how anyone uses the expression. It only prevents others from selling other products under the phrase. It's not that deep or encompassing.
There is no current trademark on any of these things which gives Carey the right to use it. All she had to do was respond. She actually stepped aside and let the 3 month time limit lapse. She didn't "lose", there was no "battle", and she was denied for simply not bothering to respond. She let it go and she didn't have to. She's literally been called, "the Queen of Christmas" by every publication and it's uncle for the past decade. These ignorant stories do make her look bad and many of you pile on top. MC did something kind and you helped paint her as a villain.

Chart question (101,665)
by Nikki from usa
| |
|
|
What's interesting about that is all 3 hit the top for very different reasons. Fantasy hit because of a radio leak. Mariah mania was in full swing and people were crazy for new music from her. The leak was legit because they had to rush everything. The album is the same pic in black and white, sepia, and a close up crop of her face for the cover. They had to rush the music video and release. The song also covered multiple formats making it a shoo in.
OSD was massively promoted by the label because Boyz 2 Men had just switched to them and it was their first single with the label. A lot of tragedy had happened that year with a freak storm and a terrorist attack that killed a lot of people. The nation was in mourning and then Selena was murdered.
Mariah created buzz for Honey. She released the music video to late night MTV a month before officially debuting it. When she did, it made it to the top of the video charts before she released it to radio. By then, they were greedy for the song that caused such a commotion on music channels.

Chart question (101,617)
by Bobby A from United States
| |
|
|
Does anyone remember Columbia's marketing and chart strategy in 1995-1997 to cause Fantasy, One Sweet Day, and Honey to debut at #1 on Hot 100? It had to be more than radio airplay and physical sales. I think back then that new singles were released to radio and retailers on Tuesday. MC only did it during that time only. Butterfly could have done the same thing, but Tommy must have pulled all Butterfly marketing money to lessen the shine on the song's poignant message and lyrics that made him not too happy about his wife breaking free from him.

Making Christmas as a money hog. I get but please review thy morals. Everybody needs money but not to the extent of monetizing the season. Is AIWFCIY not enough earning for her? It's so sad that she keeps on running her mouth that she embodies the true spirit of Christmas but I guess it's a different spirit after all.

Debut album (101,663)
by Terna from Nigeria
| |
|
|
I would rather prefer the other recordings that did not make the cut, we as fans are aware of ("Weakness of the Body", "Into The Light" etc. recall that tracklist that floated around in 2015?) in addition to a remastered version of the debut album. Her first album still remains one of her best and easily a top three personal favorite of mine.

This is the business of showbiz. If you love Mariah then you want her to make an impact with every release, promo, merchandise, every opportunity. She signed up for it, and we signed up for it. So let's not start checking Mariah's "morals" in the name of entertainment. Here's to another #1 and a sold-out Christmas tour.

It has already started Edward. AIWFCIY has made it already to the iTunes Top 20 today. It is expected to make its debut on the Hot 100 next week. MC will be #1 earlier this year than last year. That is what I am predicting this year. It made it to number #1 the week of December 28th last year. If it does it again, this will be the 4th year.
